[@gabriellas210]

The first 5 minutes are already so funny explaining their bitmojis spanking eachother LMAO

[@cch11111]

Take my first deep breath all week when I get this notification

[@mckenzie1698]

Completely agree with Brooke on how no one should shit on romance fans. Let us have fun and happy interests

[@GreenShellShock]

Brooke spoke with a lot of conviction in this episode and I loved that. Also, Connor being uncomfortable in The Kissing Booth convo not for the sake of Devil's Advocate, but by a BM brewing absolutely killed me.

[@bridgitmccaffrey8129]

i truly felt brooke's rant about loving YA and being so frustrated with men shitting on it in my BONES

[@carefreelivingg16]

What is YA

[@jojo-rh2rw]

@@carefreelivingg16a genre of entertainment- Young Adult

[@sydneybhojwani]

LOL I was the girl with the bf from the first night 😭 he may have looked suicidal but we loved the show ❤

[@isabelsees8422]

b&c have inspired me to move forward with using the phrase “move forward with” in regards to nearly everything in my everyday life

[@gabbyl85]

it must be so nice to have a friendship like this

[@quinclark3389]

brooke’s solo moment going into close friends had me cackling and was the best way to give us a tease of“Obsessed”. Her words? Elegant. Her jokes? Witty. Her brain? huge. Brooke will lead for generations to come. Wishing conner a speedy recovery after his detrimental BM :(

[@_Murpho_]

Just here to make sure no one is yelling at Brooke 🧙🏼🧙🏼🧙🏼🧙🏼

[@428w1tch]

thanks wizard

[@kaylchip_]

same, as well as, in addition to ☝️

[@idelturco2749]

I agree with all of Brooke’s takes - LET THE GIRLIES HAVE FUN

[@s0cc3rgirly606]

Brooke favoring Tamlin is a canon event

[@kayelan8701]

brooke’s rant about men shitting on YA is so valid i hear you queen

[@tiffanyrivera9074]

Brooke when I tell you , you are going to get there , please finish the series

[@a.b3377]

If I ever met B & C I’d sing showtunes to them for hours most definitely

[@Natural.Mystik]

brooke rockin the teddy fresh makes me happy :-)

[@rubyomh]

Brooke, I am not here to be the 8492nd person (infact, Im pretty early - patting myself on the back) to tell you about 'And I will Always Love You' - she wrote it like 30 years earlier than te Body Gaurd. Elvis tried to buy the rights from her, it was a whole thing. Love the P, love your work - just thought this could be good information for an unknown upcoming trivia event

[@eb6060]

Yes truly with no hate I believe Brooke needs and wants to know that Dolly wrote that song for no one but herself and it was well known for a few decades before Whitney’s amazing cover.

[@miamia5875]

Brooke at the end is how it feels to try and set heathy boundaries and then apologising for trying to set healthy boundaries

[@ella-nn5jo]

this is the only podcast where i don’t skip the ads because seeing b&c try to stay serious through it is far too entertaining

[@emmmmmuhh]

the prose one☠️

[@rileybrown1487]

this podcast is actually my favorite thing ever created love u guys

[@danielleboucher8640]

i didn’t know at what time these episodes dropped cause i’m playing catch up so naturally i was refreshing my phone every hour on the hour

[@elizabethd26]

I need an episode where you guys talk about being in your 20s, and any tips and tricks or advice you have. It’s a struggle

[@maddihanks8421]

Brooke just unlocked Geronimo in my brain

[@caitlinhopkins7554]

Brooke.. you WILL NOT regret reading the second one swear

[@nowlisteningtopod]

also fun fact: rapeseed oil is called “canola oil” as a marketing technicality in the us, everywhere else it’s sold under the name rapeseed

[@enatduvl3084]

If i ran into either of them on the street i would be genuinely confused for a moment that they don’t know who i am and we aren’t actually friends. Just briefly.

[@lizduck6222]

this podcast is the only reason im still alive

[@avnidesai4458]

brooke’s “very cool” s are so satisfying

[@danielleolson127]

How are even the ad reads entertaining :,,,) ugh I love so much

[@marissalavender]

brooke is looking as beautiful as ever this pod episode

[@emmmmmuhh]

connor is giving puffy eyed sleepy baby guy

[@miablanchard4277]

watching this at .75 speed so it lasts longer

[@madelinen4895]

Theatre camp was partially filmed at my irl theatre camp. Brings me so much joy that B & C saw it hahaha

[@ashleigh5965]

CRYING @ 1:04:58 when Connor asks why they put “GF” instead of Taylor Russel & Brooke IMMEDIATELY praising him for noticing

[@phoebedrupa2816]

BEST TIME OF THE WEEK LETS GOOOOOO

[@carefreelivingg16]

I’m not even a fan of kissing booth but I firmly stand with Brooke on don’t shit on where you came from or what made you and put you on the map. He should be grateful, it’s in poor taste.

[@nekaylihubbardhoefer427]

ACOTAR is really good (must suffer the first book), but Throne of Glass Brooke you must read it after you finish all of the currently published ACOTAR books

[@brennancotton9803]

I will always love you Dolly wrote it about leaving her show with porter Wagner in 1974 she didn’t write it for Whitney

[@josielawhorn4924]

As a nurse, y’all saying BM SENNNNNDS me every time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brookehall2438]

I don’t think it is connors fault for not having anything to say about the ya rant. But I totally agree with Brooke on both of her points that he should craft how he expresses his feelings about his earlier work partially from a place of respect and gratitude and that hating on the genre as a whole is also hating on the individual that cosume, enjoy, and connect with the content.

[@krillansavillan]

I know it must have been bad, there's no life behind Connor's eyes in this ep

[@ankadonk]

wait i can't believe it's been a year since the infamous couch thxgiving ep i...surely not

[@xoviolet32]

to be fair Brooke I think euphoria put Jacob on the map way more than the kissing Booth did 😭

[@ashumzzz]

The little squint before Brooke read Connor to filth in front of all of us 😂

[@alicianolley]

on this weeks episode of things i forgot from my childhood… potato stix! thank you bnc

[@alicianolley]

let me be clear that this podcast is my weekly reminder like we all had the same experiences apparently ¿

[@sydneygass7688]

Was worried about Conner’s weird response to the Elordi rant but the BM announcement at the end made it all ok

[@UnderArmour002]

The podcast is put together very well im impressed.

[@WestTexasGothic]

To add onto Brooks point about celebrities hating on their old work, it’s upsetting because it’s almost always men dragging the “girly”movies they’ve done. Like, I think their shame is rooted in sexism. Anything deemed “for women” is automatically shamed and seen as frivolous. And Connor not having anything to add is from a place of privilege. He’s literally never had to think about it. Anyway, I appreciate Brook for bringing it up and hope to hear more convos bringing awareness to this

[@morgan22255]

You can respect what Brooke said without talking about connor He just didn’t have anything to say 🤷‍♀️

[@WestTexasGothic]

@@morgan22255 I think you just don’t get it 🤷🏻‍♀️ also you don’t have to be an expert on a subject to engage in a dialogue. Curiosity is all you need.

[@WestTexasGothic]

@@morgan22255 also I think Connor’s a big boy. He can handle it.

[@PJCE15]

not everything is sexism. if brooke is claiming “let people enjoy things” then take her own advice and let people not enjoy things. people are allowed to have an opinion without it being rooted in some oppression you found off twitter

[@WestTexasGothic]

@@PJCE15 lol

[@jennbt4342]

I needed thisssssss

[@carefreelivingg16]

Uh oh I’ve been following Brooke’s fact that I will always love you by Dolly Parton was a cover…and talking about it to everyone all week. So happy to have been fact checked this week 😅

[@emily847]

You guys are helping cure my anxiety while I try not to spiral for the next 4 hrs before I have to go to my second day of work

[@emilyloeb3811]

Brooke you need to watch quiz lady. Best comedy I've seen in years and you'll love Sandra oh playing the bad sister

[@erinhancock3036]

Love your hat Conner, keep up the good work

[@laurenlombrano1381]

connor was ON ONE this ep. i was crying laughing

[@alyssap3590]

you guys HAVE TO have to have to watch Waves it is my favorite movie of all time and taylor russell is perfection in it

[@alyssap3590]

she’s my tier 1

[@camhopper]

Omg the Geronimo books were my SHIT 😭😭

[@nowlisteningtopod]

to me bncmap is a poop talk safe space and it makes me feel seen

[@melanieperez1203]

if Connor says bagel one more time I’m ending it

[@samanthasnyder549]

You loving tamlin and Feyre is a cannon event!

[@adrianachristensen4237]

Brooke you’re absolutely going to get there with the second book

[@Chloe-oc6ro]

i live right down the street from the Utz factory and it smells like potatoes outside all the time, its truly amazing

[@marinaavalon]

Brooke PLZ read book 2, bc it’s not the toxic romance that you’ve been told it is!!

[@ivanadame7869]

Brooke’s outro was amazing 😂

[@Mariposa87532]

The curse was filmed in my hometown lol. I have yet to watch it though 😂

[@dylanotdillon]

Idk if it’s just me but the way Connor says bagel is like nails to a chalkboard to me 🤣

[@tiaratran]

The prose ad 😂😂😂

[@mykala071699]

different strokes for different folks should always fall second to the true golden rule: don't yuck my yum

[@brennaporter444]

was eating cheez-it's while watching this. there is indeed vegetable oil

[@paigeedwards6457]

Second hottest take is The Kissing Booth putting JE on the map whaaaaaaaat hahahahaha

[@beckyt3883]

i love u guys

[@taylorsaylor4716]

I agree Brooke

[@paigeedwards6457]

Brooke not liking Barbie and or not relating is her hottest take to date huhhhhh

[@Sunsetbrunett]

Connor wearing a backwards Huf hat is the most Connor thing ever. 🧢

[@beeaunghka]

Maneater in no hard feelings SOOO GOOOOOOD

[@Star-rz5xo]

I agree bagels are trustworthy

[@emsexpression978]

Brooke, that apple is huge

[@gwenharvey6825]

Totally agree Brooke on the female driven experience of YA books and shows and a man talking poorly on it makes women feel bad and we should let everyone like what they like

[@b100d.br02]

i love them spreading seed oil misinfo like SEED OILS ARENT BAD FOR YOU. literally do like 5 seconds of research

[@emmmmmuhh]

i was about to skip the prose add but i’m SO glad i didn’t … it was so unhinged

[@tterryberryy]

Brooke, you need to read Barbra Streisand book immediately

[@carolinehenson5505]

my boyfriend (as well as myself) has a tier one obsession with bncmap

[@MyNamesNotCraig2]

Brooke is delulu about the YA thing !!!!

[@shaelinhamilton7583]

brooke i promise the first ACOTAR book is the worst one, the second will have you kicking your feet in the air

[@nadsss249]

It’s so funny to me how young millennials assume everyone in gen z is 7 years old. I’m almost 25 and gen z. I’ve had a phone since 2012. I very much know the going to the store with parents to get a new phone experience😂 Absolutely love the podcast y’all

[@eb6060]

To be fair the media did the same thing to Millenials, acting like they were literally children until they switched to criticizing them for not buying houses or having kids.

[@juliewheeland8464]

As someone who has been a barista for over 8 years (I’m a loser) that’s totally normal to let someone pay for it next time. We dont give a fuck we just want the interaction over with. And? It’s not our stuff so we’d give stuff away for free whenever wherever. Ya know?

[@dylanotdillon]

I felt the same way when Zac Efron said he regretted HSM!? Like what?

[@leightonhoey4999]

Me eating cheezits watching this

[@adrianafetzer]

I don't know, i think it's fair to hate the first project you worked on, because it's like a regular person hating their first job. You take the first opportunity that comes to you, and then you don't want to do it again.

[@danicacassidy1672]

Poor Conor and his bowels

[@CuteMiss8]

YOU ARE GOING TO LOOOOOVE ACOMAF I promise

[@glum-bug]

I don’t think it’s shitting on romance fans, kissing booth is an objectively bad movie

[@zoeykeyser09]

conor would be so powerful if he had eyebrows

[@pearpop69]

NEWEST TEDDY FRESH MODEL

[@kwood800]

For ACOTAR, oh you’ll get there. (Little spoiler, he’s actually not bad but that’ll take a second to realize)

[@emmaprovost_]

the boxcar children. oh my god.

[@aliibabiii]

Ily

[@sophiewalti3147]

ACOTAR is so dull imo Brooke so you’re not alone! But you should read This Time It’s Real by Ann Liang! YA romance about a academic girlie who through a wild circumstance ends up fake-dating a celebrity so honestly a dream come true for you

[@megh14]

Seed oils are 👎🏼. Brooke is 100% correct, the extraction process makes the oil extremely toxic and inflammatory. Think about how easy it would be to get oil from a coconut or an avocado, those are safe to eat because it’s a naturally oily food and can be cold pressed to extract healthy oils from. You need heavy machinery and toxic chemicals to extract oil from tiny seeds that aren’t meant to produce oil for us to consume. They also put these seed oils in plastic and they go rancid immediately. It’s cheap to produce, that’s why it’s in everything 🤷‍♀️

[@fyshwick6032]

the way connor says bagel is upsetting

[@kaileeboggs6453]

I’ve been thinking Brooke looks so much less inflamed!!!!!!
