"You wanna say that on THIS podcast???" had me ROLLINGGG I LOVE THEM (also as Connor and Max are father and son, B&C are gf and bf).

They are max and Frankie’s parents!

[@ag-pq6vi]

what did connor mean by that??

[@jas2246]

@@ag-pq6via lot of people who watch this podcast are convinced that Brooke & Connor are in love with each other or at least dating/have dated in the past

[@adrianafetzer]

@@ag-pq6vi it's an ongoing joke between fans that Brooke and Connor are secretly in love or have hooked up. They play along and have never actually confirmed or denied it, so he pointed out that "two people who are in love but don't know it yet" is said of them constantly and people ship them together.

Connor is valid for seeing Max as his brother and not a son. He's still family. Edit: Also Connor is valid telling cashiers no about the donations! Valid king. This episode.

Yet another great flowing episode. The set looks so good with the holiday theme!! I actually really liked how you guys filmed the merch ads. It was a small thing, but it made them stand out to me. Also I'm going to be real, Brooke is way stronger than me mentally. Her luck is such a rollercoaster. TImestamps for future me to revisit: 6:21 (poultry mode), 18:12 (blind love), 32:14 (toenail), 57:55 (spine chilling story), 1:06:55 (unknown water)

Fun fact about Marcus Mumford + Carey Mulligan: They met as kids at camp and were childhood pen pals before reconnecting as adults! True luv

[@LISE_NR]

shut up that’s so cute

[@maryschaefer804]

i don’t understand how not everyone acknowledges that this is the funniest podcast ever spoken into existence

[@kristin900]

I actually work at a Ronald McDonald House and we provide free housing to families that have an ill or injured child. At my specific house, families have to live 40 miles away or more from the hospital where their child is being treated. Our main goal is to keep families close and support them while their child is receiving life saving care. As for the connection to McDonalds, the first ever Ronald McDonald house was built in 1974 with the money made from a Philadelphia Eagles / Shamrock Shake fundraiser. At the time one of the Eagle’s player’s daughter had leukemia and he wanted to raise money to build a house to support parents and families going through similar experiences. Anyway, just to be careful, all of this information and verbiage is not representative of Ronald McDonald House Charities and is simply my understanding of the organization.

Watching this at the gym like Im on a group FaceTime with my friends

I love watching in public so I can be cracking up enjoy myself!

[@carolinepowell5834]

Brooke I'm 5'1 and I could not agree more with the bag situation. I truly dread every moment before having to somehow chuck my bag up above citizens heads.

[@kyra_jo]

top 5 favorite bnc episodes

[@eaf538]

Flight attendants are not allowed to assist in lifting bags-it could cause them repetitive use injuries, and then they potentially wouldn’t be eligible for compensation since they weren’t following company policy in the course of being injured. Other passengers should be stepping up and they may have, like Brooke, just assumed the flight attendant was there and would have assisted her. The flight attendants only options are to ask others to help you, gate check the bag, or break the rules and risk their livelihood to help you. (Fun fact, the people in the emergency exit row have to be able bodied and capable of lifting 50 pounds. If they can’t help you with your bag, they can’t sit in that row.)

[@tay6278]

Pebble mode is everything to me

[@sambino62]

Connor’s top two being Tom Misch and John Mayer was not was I expected but I love it

[@oliviathemoon]

brooke thank u so much for being our fangirl representation i have been WAITING for u to talk about the hunger games and tom blyth because i’ve been OBSESSED since it came out like tom blyth is SO close to being my tier 1 not even kidding

[@leahrath2823]

I taught my 3 yr old nephew DSDF in order to end an argument about the difference between a white tail deer buck and a bull elk.

What are the odds, I also lost a pinky toenail this week. However, I’m blown away by Brooke’s story of not even knowing her’s was lost. My loss was the result of slamming it under a door, and included serious pain and bleeding 😂

[@taylorframe3929]

cackling at there being a post from spotify showing connor’s #1 artist was morgan wallen and connor went ahead and skimmed right over that which i respect 🤝🏻

[@oliviathemoon]

ALSO brooke ur so right about the meta hunger games commentary because the series turns the child death match into entertainment and like mockingjay is pretty much everyone’s least favorite because there’s no hunger games and the strategic war aspects aren’t as exciting

[@jillian5885]

Brooke!!! I don’t even have the height disadvantage and I can’t stand lifting my carry-on above my head. The trick is being brave and telling the nearest man or flight attendant that you have a shoulder injury and need help ! Been doing this for 6 years

[@liviacrosby123]

Brooke flight attendants aren’t paid during boarding at all. So they can’t help you lift your bag because if they injure themselves the company will not cover them at all. They will actually get punished. And this happens often. So she probably wanted to help but isn’t supposed to as so many flight attendants hurt their shoulders lifting bags. It’s not apart of their job at all. Their actual job is all safety related and are trained for all emergency situations on a plane you could think of. My moms a flight attendant and it makes me really mad when people are disrespectful to flight attendants
