I gotta say, when Brittney was talking about higher education it really hit me. I went to community college right after high school in 2014. I was a shitty student in high school and was no better at community college so I met a boy and dropped out. I was very immature and struggled so much with my interpersonal relationships and I fell into a drug addiction (thankfully just weed, not something hard like heroin or cocaine). And I “wasted” a lot of time just being a pothead with little to no direction in life and it hurt my self esteem. Well last year, I finally had enough and I went back to school but this time I did what I always wanted to and decided to enroll in a Vet Assistant program. I was a very diligent student and I really enjoyed it so I am now in the veterinary technician program. I have truly changed for the better because I was forced to work in a stressful team environment doing something I really love and care about which is helping animals. Now I have been sober for over 2 months, I am single but happy with myself, and I am one of the top students in my class. It took me until I was 27 years to get it, but I am so happy now. Higher education in a field you are passionate about is really a blessing.

[@rrosieemariee]

I’m a vet tech too :))

[@haliensexist]

Omg that's wild! I met a boy in college back in 2016, dropped out, and was addicted weed and xanax. I'm 27 now too, and got clean of xanax, ended the unhealthy relationship, and am now studying to be a vet tech! Weird but cool to think someone is having such a similar life experience!

[@vanecessary__]

[@cjgroom109]

i adore that brittany is able to speak to a more casual audience while incorporating serious topics!! it's incredibly funny to be discussing lovecraftian horrors and nihilism while describing if they're slay or not, but it's also such a skill to be able to communicate a complicated idea with slang and everyday speech. idk she's so goddamn smart and its truly a treat to be able to hear her insight into things... along with the horny ramblings about cosplayers that remind me she's just like us frfr

And then what makes it better is when she randomly dissolves back into her chaotic comedic goblin mode and says absurd shit while laughing at herself.

I’m an archaeology student and what Brittany was saying about having these kind of conversations within an academic setting it so true! I have lab sessions weekly and whilst we’re doing our work we always just chat about our studies and how it’s so interwoven with humanity. I do a lot of early human stuff, that’s where my interest lies and it’s so so so thrilling pondering when we first became aware of ourselves not as animals but as humans. To be able to look at the animals we evolved from and say, ‘yeah that’s not me’ I love it so much. A lot of philosophy goes into archaeology too I’d argue because at our core we’re trying to decipher human behaviour from thousands and millions of years ago. I love my degree ahah

[@sabrinarodriguez8278]

[@Natlatify]

YEP. YEP. This is what I was thinking when she was talking about it. The point of her writing "HUMAN" on the board was not her trying to speak to them per-se and expect them to understand, but to teach them the basics of our written language, because the whole movie is basically about learning the written language of the aliens, and how that would work not only cross culture, but across planets. Its one of the more refreshing alien movies I've seen in ages because it really does raise a good question - how does one learn a language of a species that is so completely different from you in every way that there is no common ground to start with like there is between cultures and countries.

[@briannahawkins7561]

I love me some Broski... and i teared up several times during the existence "rant". I lost my Baby Boy, recently... and the idea that we are here simply to exist and experience, love and be loved... that has been the notion that I have clung, DESPERATELY, to. His wasnt a long life, but it was meaningful and SO full of love and joyous existence. So, as devastated as I am, I am trying to remain, instead, grateful for the time I was blessed with his presence. His impact. His existence.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

I’ve had two miscarriages, 14 week twins and a 10 week single baby. I find some solace in the fact that women have been losing pregnancies or infants since the dawn of time. It’s a deep ancient pain that we bear together. I’m not the first woman to cry over my children, and in the future I can help other women who are going through loss. It’s important to talk with other women about it, especially older women. Almost every woman I know has lost a pregnancy or infant. And it’s something that’s not talked about, so we have to reach out for connection. Most people don’t know how to comfort or talk about loss.

[@briannahawkins7561]

@zoeyr2739 I agree, completely. I hate this pain... and I am grateful for the connection it brings me. I feel closer to my fellow woman and the mothers of nature that long for the safety of their young. I am not alone... none of us are. Truly, there is solice in that. Mothers. Bringers of life and togetherness. In this, together. 💚

I could talk for hours about live music and jazz. I watched a band do a tribute cover of Dreams by The Cranberries a few years ago and I couldn't BLINK I was so moved. That level of emotion and talent and passion is so magnetic and contagious. Jazz especially is incredible to watch live, to see the musicians weaving the song together and apart and flowing with one another. There's not another more human genre of music. It's raw emotion expressed in this highly complex talent, it's the human brain in sound form. I LOVE that you talk about stuff like this, Brittany. It opens people's eyes to new things and provides a space for people to express their passions. LOVE U MADAM PRES

This reminds me of a song called In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel. It reminds me of what Brittany was saying about how there was such a small chance of any of us existing in this moment, yet we do and it is earth-shatteringly beautiful. We try as hard as we can to hold on but it is fleeting, and that's such a huge part of the beauty of it all. I encourage everyone to look up the lyrics it is an incredibly well written song.

[@ZCaitlyn]

I was raised in a small community that did not give me the access to cultural differences but when I went to college, and yes even my local college, it was such an eye opening experience. I learned so much about diversity and ethics and just how to be a more perceptive person that the debt I now have as a masters student, doesn’t really feel heavy. I feel that college is an opportunity that truly opened my eyes to so many different avenues and it needs to be more accessible and accepted as an option.

"They're listening to argue back" is such a valid point when we talk about the information we get from the internet and how people react to it.

1000% agree with the college discussion. I actually tried saying the same exact thing to one of my friends and she responded with “not everyone should go to college, we need trade workers” and I get that, however, there are certain lessons in growth and worldview that are hard to obtain when not attending secondary education. I often notice a genuine difference in worldview between those who engaged in secondary education versus those who don’t. I really feel sorry for people who are unable to receive that opportunity or for those who chose not to.

I started college in 2021 at a small private liberal arts university in my home town. Between work and living alone off campus with lots of other responsibilities, I decided to drop out after my first year and get my EMT certification through community college. What I WILL say though, is how much I learned about society and about LEARNING in itself for the short time I attended that university. Although you’d expect a lot of students to be left leaning at such a place, there were SO MANY different perspectives that I got to experience. It truly opened my eyes, and I WISH I had the means to go back. I was dealt a bad hand in my late teens and didn’t have a parental support system. If there’s one thing I want to be as a parent one day, it is supportive of a college education. Learning TO LEARN and not just going for info to dump out of your electric meatball is what is so important. To think critically about the things we seek information about, and to push outside of the boundaries of our own mind and community. I absolutely LOVE watching you speak to passionately about things like this, because it reminds me of the academic conversations I could have with peers in university. The way you choose your vocabulary to so clearly communicate your knowledge and understanding is CAPTIVATING. I know that I will never have some of the understanding of somebody who attended a university for 4+ years, and my younger friend will surpass me in that way eventually, and I believe she already has. But I am SO happy for everybody who gets that. I’ll be here, ready to listen, ready to save your life because we NEED educated young adults.

22:38 Brittany you are a philosopher, you’re someone who desires to live life to its fullest and experience everything you can and those experiences shape your worldview. To me that’s as philosophical as it gets.

[@cailynbernabeo9906]

The way Brittany speaks makes me feel okay about everything going on in the world and in my life.

[@frybabyofficial]

Brittany you would unironically love Arrival 😭 it's so good, emotional, it's about love and knowledge and the psychological terror that comes with being a human.

[@camrynarndt5684]

Brittany is such an important person to me. I’ve only been watching for a few days but I can’t believe how truly in touch with herself and her own soul.

[@groundedempowerment1178]

I really appreciate that you brought up the subject of people who are considered to be mentally ill are actually seeing truth and that’s why they are seen as sick. This is something we talk about a lot in my circles that consist of people who are interested in psycho-spiritual topics. Our theory about this is that people who are considered mentally ill have spiritual gifts that are misunderstood by society. Since the mainstream don’t accept and honour the spiritual side of life, it’s deeply misunderstood and mostly accepted only on a very surface level (like crystals, the zodiac and shit). From that misunderstanding and disconnect from the deeper, more existential parts of being human (which are spiritual in a sense) comes mental illness. I don’t believe people are crazy, I believe society is sick and the way we live and relate to ourselves and the world around us (which is considered normal) is what makes us go “crazy”. It’s a very interesting topic and important conversation to have. I would love to have it with someone like you and I’m very happy you brought it up! I love your mind and the way you express all parts of who you are, thank you for being you ❤️

[@mikaelarichards5076]

As a tattoo artist, there is SO MUCH drama. It's almost EXACTLY like how high school is depicted on tv LOL

Brittany giving me an existential crisis whilst also making me tear up and laugh all within 10 seconds. Ahhh, the pendulum of Broski Report 😌😌😌

The argument that none of this matters makes me feel so ALIVE please please never stop getting philosophical on this platform, cannot express how much I love this podcast thank you madam president!!

[@emmawright4574]

I went to college at BYU (mormon university, i’ve since left the faith) but going there is one of my biggest regrets in life. I started during the pandemic where everything was online. i barely knew my roommates, i didn’t go to in person classes, and it was so isolating. plus, in mormonism, there is such a push to get married young which makes the college experience so much harder. i love hearing brittany talk about college & her experience bc i can get a feel for what college should have been for me without religion interfering.

[@ellab3634]

I have literally been OBSESSED with lovecrafts stories ever since I read them in middle school and I’m so glad someone is talking about this. I could go on and on and on about this type of horror it just does something to me

[@arthystic5417]

i actually studied the arrival movie in an english course once and it’s now one of my favorite movies. in the class we were studying time and the concept of time in media and life and essentially the circles that amy adams was drawing was their way of communicating bc they see time as a cyclical thing rather than a linear thing that we humans see it as (with a beginning and end like brittany was saying). so they essentially can see all of time at once and don’t really have a sense of past or future. that’s why amy adams had to learn their “language” of circles in order to communicate with them and understand what they wanted. and then she becomes fluent in this language and eventually learns how to see time like that as well??? And that’s what all the “flashbacks” were. they were actually just here being able to see into different moments of her life, both past and present 🤯🤯

[@breezycheezy63]

i went back to school to pursue education cause of brittany. hearing her talk about higher education means so much ❤️

listening to you makes me feel a little less insane. i’m not suicidal listening to you and it’s nice to forget about it all for an hour each week. i love you brittany🫶🏼

[@YourSilentPrincess]

YOU ALWAYS SUMMARIZE THE WAY I FEEL SO WELL. trying to explain to my sister why birdbox was such a unique and extremely terrifying kind of horror. She is someone who is more for the gory kind of characters, vs. my appreciation for media that can rely on more than just the general human fears. something beyond that

your rants give me chills. i had to pause this to calm down because of how much i love literature. specifically the kind you talk about. your words are insightful and necessary. you view the world with empathy and they need that.

[@onefinalfightt]

I’ve seen Brittany around the internet, but I’ve never heard her speak on anything besides in humorous convos. She’s so funny and seems so lovely and kind. I loved listening to this podcast, it was like listening to a goofy, smart friend. ❤️

[@1hannahalexis]

Listening to Brittany talk about the universe, the scale of it, and how humans react to it is something that honestly brings me so much peace of mind. I have the same thoughts all of the time!! Most of the time I find comfort and love in my understanding of the universe, but sometimes the scale of I can be terrifying! Knowing other girlies think of all this at the same time makes me feel like I’m not crazy! 😂

[@KaitieHopkins093]

I feel so comforted and grounded by Brittney's words when it comes to the human experience. Not only do I have very similar values when it comes to valuing life and love and respect, but I also am in awe of how she can articulate things in a way that is so powerful and profound. It never feels preachy or pushy, but rather coming from the heart and the mind of someone who has so much wisdom to give. I am always moved by your words, and from the bottom of my heart, you move me to be a better communicator and person as a whole. (Plus I love thinking about things beyond comprehension, it make my brain chemicals very happy, so it nice to hear you also like that aspect of lovecraftian horror)

[@simeonfalafel]

20:50 “ponder beyond our means” is such a good way to describe it

[@katieakin9397]

I think what’s nice about music is everyone can appreciate it broadly and there’s a type for everyone to find a preference. I can appreciate proficiency in music theory and instrumentation but when I’m driving down the highway, I don’t want to listen to jazz, I want to sing Sabrina Carpenter’s lyrics.

[@czworka5022]

Sevdaliza is definetly one of the many artists that are barely known, but so incredible in songwriting, production, everything. Brittany, if you notice this comment out of thousands of others, i'd love to recommend her to you, and to everyone reading this. She really changed my life, i'd say the same way Rosalia did.

[@bagelbites4668]

omg second this comment i love sevdaliza i never seem to come across other fans!! i’m rarely a person who’ll listen to an artists whole discography i just couldn’t get enough of her after ison

Would not call her barely known tho

Brittany is the best influencer out there. I literally laugh out loud every episode.

[@xoxok8]

Connection!!! I was just talking to my therapist about this.. I had to go out and find new friends after Covid. I had a baby. And a whole new perspective on life. It’s so lonely. I started attending library events and mom and me classes. And that turned into even bigger friendships. And more friends added into that. I haven’t felt this loved in a decade. Keep searching people. You’ll find them!
