[@kamiterryy]

can we take a moment for the fact that not only did Brooke get Andrew on, but she did an INCREDIBLE job interviewing him! he really seems so comfortable talking with you like long time friends

[@anniecronin66]

yes like she is britney broski level charming with celebrities she just needs to trust herself more!!!

Huh?

[@kennedy3766]

i gasped i cant believe she got him for the pod😭

[@kaitlyngoodwin825]

gasped intensely

[@kayladavis9061]

Oh same, gasped so loud it scared the people around me. Sooooo so so beyond happy for Brooke and team

[@sarahevans7887]

I CAN believe she got him on the pod because she’s Brooke but I also CAN’T believe she is breathing because she’s Brooke

[@tiaratran]

😂💯

[@drewplanthaber7529]

The way you mention how you thought you were responsible for 9/11 without actually mentioning it is killing me

[@joshurfriend2000]

i was CRYING

“TONS of people”

[@NicholeGreenNicholeGreen]

I need a whole bonus episode where brooke debriefs on everything she was thinking and feeling during this ep with Andrew

[@carlykersting2951]

BROOKE HOW TF DID YOU HOLD IT TOGETHER?!?!? genuinely flatlining

[@cara0444]

addicted to Andrew Barth Feldman unlocking the nuance of his sexuality for a brief moment re: Zac Efron

[@beezar216]

Screaming at this comment

[@CarlyHymanson-s3m]

My fav comment

[@ChrisGreen879]

well now i’m addicted to this young man

[@allisonreece02]

Okay but truly!!! He’s now a household name for me

[@ReadMeAway]

Brooke, whenever you feel that imposter syndrome creeping in… WATCH THIS VIDEO! You did such a good job interviewing him and were so kind and professional! You deserve opportunities like this because you work hard and stay courageously vulnerable with all of us pals on the internet.

[@kurtvonneslut]

“Courageously vulnerable” is such a good way to describe it

[@user-yournamehere]

Yes yes yes!!!

[@gracierynn9476]

Couldn’t agree more, and might I add that this comment made me so emotional thinking about how supportive Brooke and her viewers are of each other 🥺🥺

[@SnapeArgento]

Yes amazing and both she and Andrew complemented each other so much, it was like watching two really passionate friends talking about their most recent obsessions

[@miranda9703]

she did such a great job

[@ameliagordon9979]

Seeing someone Brooke is obsessed with genuinely appreciating and loving her obsession is making me so genuinely happy right now

[@VividiVavidi_V]

Absolutely love it so much

[@gabsandjaz4364]

Knowing how obsessed she is with him - it’s SO impressive that she was able to lead this interview so incredibly Brooke you are a STARRR

[@428w1tch]

“i think zac efron was my first crush and i don’t even think i’m queer” brooke i couldn’t thank you enough for this pod episode

[@Abigail--]

I fell over 😭😭😭 I tripped when he said that and laughed like what tf 💀

[@angelsantana]

i genuinely cannot believe we got this duo im shaking

[@madsknick14]

brooke saying " oh i thought ive killed people before, ya, tons of people" and andrew just going "ya man," fully unaware that brooke is talking about thinking she did 9/11 has me in shambles

[@gracierynn9476]

I love that not only did Andrew not feel weird when Brooke was explaining how obsessed she was with him and his work, but he also validated her obsessions and related to them with his own personal obsessions. As someone who has felt very shamed for being obsessed (and even just normally appreciating things), It just makes me so happy because Brooke deserves to hear that her obsessions aren’t weird, and are in fact valid, from a person who has been one of her obsessions at one point in her life

[@sadoklajmi]

This brittany broski effect literally, it's happening right before our eyes

[@mandurr1059]

I am now obsessed with Andrew Barth Feldman! What a kind, sweet individual 🥹

[@bandaid.bandit]

Same! Never seen him before this but he is so adorable!❤️

[@Jennbrooks12]

SAME!! Never seen anything of his and now fully obsessed🤚🏻

[@Hoboma4life]

Me too girl like ive seen her talk about him but after this episode i quite literally ran to all my socials to follow him

[@meech2536]

THE POD GUEST PULL OF THE CENTURY OMFG!! Brooke you’re so iconic wtf

[@emmmmmuhh]

i know this is irrelevant to how insane this duo is but brooke is just drop dead gorgeous i can’t handle it.

[@theseendlessrhymes]

Queen didn’t throw up, didn’t pass out to my knowledge - SLAY

[@lyss4861]

I am now also completely and utterly obsessed with Andrew Barth Feldman at this time.

[@jennajenkins5445]

he is SO sweet and appreciative i cannot im GRINNING

[@marlosmith5154]

OMG THE OCD AWARENESS THANK YOU!!!! absolutely LOVE the open discussion about this disorder because it's so misunderstood. "Pure" OCD is the type where you have more mental compulsions than outward behavioral ones, which is the reason it takes us so long to get diagnosed only doing talk therapy. ERP is the answer!! Love you both!!

[@mayaalamillo1801]

facts this happened to me where i was misdiagnosed and still lowkey gaslight myself that i don’t actually have ocd bc i don’t have mant outward compulsions

[@kennedy3766]

i absolutely adored that part of the conversation! it was so short but so meaningful and made me feel understood ugh i love them both

[@livs7626]

OH BROOKE YOURE KIDDING

[@megan7506]

He seems like such a kind, sincere person

[@mackenzie3213]

how special was the OCD conversation 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i love you brooke

[@liafisher]

brooke this is iconic

[@carefreelivingg16]

I really really appreciate how candid, honest, vulnerable and detailed this OCD conversation was. Even as someone without OCD I think talking about the intimate details of mental illness is so important and rarely this authentic and genuine 🩵

[@misspaigelee6396]

I just want to say this weeks episode was absolutely amazing. There couldn’t have been a better guest for you to have on Obsessed. He brought all of the effort and energy to match you and you let him have space to speak while navigating the convo with ease. I hope this was the start of a long friendship! Proud of you, Brooke!

[@zzpeep1040]

Oh she’s standing on BUSINESS!!!

[@abbielindhorst6420]

Brooke is SUCH a good conversationalist! This interview felt so comfortable and natural. Love it!

[@flairmargi]

BROOKE!!! IM AS HAPPY AS A STRANGER ON THE INTERNET CAN BE FOR SOMEONE FOR SHE DOESNT KNOW!!!!

[@taylor12303]

cannot believe i’m witnessing this moment in time

[@Thefauxhipster5]

The manifestation of talking about Little Shop and Andrew actually getting to play Seymour…that’s magic

[@nariahbishop8907]

oh my tummy is absolutely full of butterflies for Brooke and this episode, can't stop giggling

[@alexandrawatkinson2691]

the way i HOWLED when andrew said "bad cinderella". also, as always, LOVE seeing theater ppl talk about the industry being less broadway-centric, and seeing theater ppl reach a wider audience! i hope brooke watches the updated starkid catalogue bc i have not left that phase.

[@mawimontell]

brooke we are just so proud and deeply obsessed

[@TGM224]

The way I was grinning EAR TO EAR and kicking my feet the entire episode is insane. I’m SO happy for Brooke. like their energy was perfectly match and legitimately radiating off of each other I can’t 😭😭😭💓💓💓💓💓

[@avrelcook6929]

Could you imagine if this podcast turned into Brooke interviewing all the people she is/has been obsessed with, I would simply pass away

[@leafaria5468]

This episode feels like a weighted blanket (positive connotation)

[@hannahhh..]

BROOKE !!!!!!!!! this is monumental. I thought this was just our king Andrew edited in the thumbnail and then I saw him in stud (studio) and SAT UP off the couch IMMEDIATELY !!!!!! wow

[@alyssamae1468]

He got so excited when she said she was asking her main question she was most excited for 😭

[@lexiqu360]

Petition for TMG to do everything in their power to get all of Brooke's celebrity obsessions on the pod!!!

[@nicolesmith2982]

Brooke and team, thank you for your service giving us a such a long and wholesome interview with Andrew because there has not been enough media presence for him and he is just a ray of sunshine

[@mckennabowerss]

“I don’t think I’m queer” is so funny

[@Lucymm99]

adore the way he responds to compliments by saying theyre meaningful - he's so genuine and humble

[@olivia0614]

OH YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY KIDDING ME!! I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE YOUNG HUMANS!!

[@katiesydor9645]

This felt like an intimate conversation in the best way. like they were on a date and I was watching from the potted plant next to the table

[@laurensophiaa]

He is so incredibly good at receiving compliments. So genuine and down to earth! Obsessed with this young man!

[@livs7626]

What an angelic young man

[@kyliem201]

i went to no hard feelings in the theater alone & cried like a little baby during maneater, like sobbed. the people around me looked back at me a few times & thought i was so crazy but i couldn’t believe i was the only one in that room affected by it😭

[@benweber2012]

BROOKE MARRY THIS MAN. I love u guys together.

[@abby-kn4xo]

BROOKE THIS IS CRAZYYY

[@Oogabooga814]

They have an insane amount of things in common

[@kayb5516]

you were in a room with Andrew Barth Feldman, you did it!

[@erinlindsey3]

brooke you have transcended to another level with this one

[@cholbs1998]

this episode i think perfectly highlights the differences between brooke and connor. brookes interactions with celebrities is focused on their craft, like she isn’t obsessed with them because they are famous but because she loves the work they’ve done and i think that comes across so clearly in this interview!! put brooke in more rooms!!!

[@emmaogagliano]

the immediate bond between these two is everything to me

[@rach.webb1969]

They matched both in tops and energy. Exquisite interview ladyefron 👏🏼

[@maddayfrey]

truly manifestation at its finest 😭

[@annhill7770]

I feel like Andrew knew he was gonna be Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors by the look on his face when they started talking about it but couldn’t say anything at the moment 😂

[@cch11111]

Um this is the cutest first date I’ve ever witnessed

[@kendal_murry]

Also Brooke YOU KILLED THIS. Like you absolutely killed this.

[@baylee7485]

Might I just say she is doing an excellent job of being in a room with this man. Congrats Brooke 🎉

[@reese431]

Why is he the sweetest boy ever in the world im getting a little emotional for this reason

[@carlywolosyn5705]

The dynamic between y’all is incredible

[@LifeofManders]

I’m only 13 minutes in and this interview is already everything I hoped it’d be. Andrew is just a sweetie sweetheart!

[@MeelaMeela000]

“We’ll go together” screaming

[@theseendlessrhymes]

Brooke don’t lie you guys are besties now aren’t you? You slayed!!!!

[@alexlecrone2942]

brooke didn’t realize i have a parasocial with you until this moment when i thought “she now personally knows andrew barth feldman and he knows jlaw really well so actually i know jlaw”

[@plutos.closet5561]

BROOKE when i tell you i’m absolutely so happy for you pookie and mr. andrew you are a king among men !! yay!!!!!!

[@katiegrohe852]

Dare I say Brooke your manifestation space is ridiculous!!!! Andrew Barth Feldman is Seymour 😭😭

[@gracerobnson293]

I’m literally so addicted to this young man

[@emma-pd8ce]

this was such a heartwarming episode and I also just wanna say that I truly think everyone with OCD should give ERP therapy a try. I have extremely severe Pure Obsessional OCD and ERP (combined with medication in my case) has genuinely saved my life and given me so much of my brain back. So glad Andrew shed light on that form of therapy. The way you treat OCD is often not the way you’d treat anxiety because of the obsessional, reassurance seeking nature of it, so a dedicated OCD treatment like ERP is life changing. ❤

[@KelLauren]

brooke i adore you so so much, and it brings me to the verge of tears to see you so happy to be yourself in this episode specifically. this podcast is so special to me already as someone with deep deep obsessions very few people understand. thank you

[@madpears573]

so happy to be here with you gorgeous individuals

[@bonnie5290]

THE WAY I GASPED WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL

[@DesiraeTaylorxoxo]

My stomach hurts watching this. The anxiety and joy mixed together is far too much for me rn. ❤

[@jennajenkins5445]

IM SHAKInG NO FiNG WAY

[@EzraHawk]

i swear the Maneater scene changed everyone who saw it lmao i watched it in bed with my man one night and after that scene, we both just sat there in silence like ... wtf just happened??? IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! we were both super impressed and my man doesn't get impressed that easily lmao we watched the movie 2 nights in a row bc that's how much we loved it lol i haven't laughed at a movie so hard in a looooong time

[@rachelrice9349]

this is simply the best podcast I have listened to in ages. I have laughed I have cried I am kicking my feet giddy. amazing job brooke and I am simply obsessed with ABF

[@GreenShellShock]

Brooke......words can NOT describe how proud I am of you!!!!!! This was not only a wild feat, but you did an amazing job holding it together and making a great episode. Shoutout to Andrew for being such a king as well, he's genuinely a star

[@JordyJRT]

No because this is literally everything I’ve ever wanted or needed

[@cam5017]

i’m so happy for you brooke 😭😭🩷

[@fionayork8059]

Brooke is such a great interviewer it’s amazing to see an interview where it feels like friends talking

[@abbydesharnais9614]

king of accepting compliments

[@bayleescreativehouse8922]

I started crying when I saw this and then started laughing at just how many times you were freaking out because I would be the exact same

[@Asmrqueen999]

I’m like so obsessed with him and this is feeding it so well. Thank you Brooke. Thank you Andrew Barth Feldman.

[@carolinegrace5833]

genuinely feel like we just watched the beginning of them becoming besties

[@mirandasarmiento]

THIS is my movie of the year

[@lisalee1557]

Jaw dropped when I saw the thumbnail WOW

[@kaitlynallen8120]

One word: obsessed. I will be watching No Hard Feelings tonight.

[@fernanda.o3070]

andrews face at 48:25 he was SO curious to see what you had to say

[@maryerickson9978]

BROOKE RESPECFPTFULLY I CANNOT EVEN PROCESS IT

[@emmagannon8060]

Stop him saying Zac Efron was his first crush but he doesn't think he's queer is so funny

[@Lyssie315]

Brooke’s “No…no, no!…” in the beginning is perfect. Beautifully done interview Brooke!!!

[@_zoemar21]

I'm OBSESSED that she got Andrew on the pod!!!

[@ChloeTheePayne]

i am so in the midst of my starkid hyperfixation 😊 they came so close to getting discussed when the brittany broski episode mentioned darren criss and very potter musical, but as soon as i saw andrew was on this episode i KNEW starkid would finally get talked about, made me so happy!

[@Hannah-rr8om]

Checking back in after watching the episode and wow….just wow. Brooke you did it again bestie. What an AMAZING episode!!!! He was such a great guest who was so appreciative and gave the best vibes! He matched your energy so well and the conversation just flowed and flowed in a way that made it seem like you two were just catching up and already knew each other. I am so happy that this happened for you and shout out to his besties for putting you on his radar and making this happen. I can’t wait to re-watch it. He was such a delight and this was such a wonderful episode!!
