Hey, y'all, before we get into this week's episode, I wanted to take a quick brief moment to direct you to the description of this episode, wherever you listen, wherever you watch. I've listed some resources there for some really great organizations, boots on the ground in terms of both the ongoing ice raids and subsequent protests across the country, as well as the blockades in Gaza.

I want to encourage you, if you're able to, to check a lot of these orgs out, donate if you can. I've donated to the majority of them. And while we're on topic, it is Pride Month. Happy Pride. And protecting gay rights is just about the last thing on this administration's docket. So as always, I've listed some in the description as well for resources there, as well as women's rights.

I donate to Planned Parenthood every month. I have for years. They're an incredible organization that does incredible work and another unlucky target of this fucking administration. Times are dark and scary right now, but we have our voices. We have each other. If you feel called, please protest and do it safely. Bring a buddy. Let someone know where you are.

At the end of the day, we are all we have. We have each other. And please look out for one another. Okay. Love you guys. Like I said, check out the description if you want. And let's get into this episode. Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski. Please.

Good morning, guys! And whoever the fuck tried to tell me that they were discontinuing Blueberry Red Bull, you're a damn liar and a damn cheat. Because guess what I have in my filthy little gob? Guess what I hold in my paw and my maw? Blueberry Bull, bitch. And guess what?

Mamas landed. Y'all, I know the last few episodes I said I'm not going to do edibles anymore. Guess what? I did an edible again last night. And I feel stupid. I feel dumb as... Girl, and how about this? I took the edible and I said...

I'm gonna finish that George Orwell book that I really wanted to finish. Girl, I couldn't focus on shit. I was sitting outside reading and I was like, has anyone ever thought about how nature is just symmetrical? Like everything is symmetrical. Me outside marveling at the wonders of the natural world. Like a spider web is truly just a fucking miracle. Oh!

having a full blown meanwhile the book that I'm reading right now currently which I mentioned a hundred fucking years ago is Why I Write by George Orwell which I would highly recommend because I ended up locking in right I ended up like I got over it the high kind of passed me by

And then I actually locked in. I also read it on the plane. I'm almost done with it, but it's like, it is one of those things that's so scary and not to sound like, even though I know that's what y'all think I sound like on this podcast. I'm just grunting one out for a fucking hour. That's how it feels sometimes. I'm up here. All right. Thanks guys. I'll see you next week. What the fuck are you saying?

Anyway, Why I Write by George Orwell. Very, very harrowing parallels between what he was experiencing as a, you know...

disgruntled, anti-patriotic British citizen who lived through multiple war times, who served as a military police in Burma, returned to the motherland and was met with Noah. I mean, the way that the British empire treated veterans, still treats veterans is deplorable. I think also, I mean, I'm not like defending the military, but hey, what are we talking about?

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is George Orwell is a reformed, not even reformed, I would say that his opinions crystallized after all those experiences of living in poverty, you know, serving as a sort of pawn, a chess piece abroad for this empire that,

is corrupt to its core. And what I find interesting about this book, so why I write, he details at the very beginning of the book four reasons why anyone could ever want to write and how an author or a writer in any sense would never willfully take that job upon themselves because being a writer, as most writers would agree, Stephen Fry said this as well one time, he wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy, of the gruesome,

mental gymnastics that a writer does. And of course, that's such a dramatic, it's not a genuine sentiment, but it's kind of funny and sarcastic in the sense of to accurately disentangle your thoughts and line them out in a linear format, or if you're James Joyce, not,

To do that and have it be met with people who understand what you're trying to get at, that is such a validating... It's not even about validation. Well, it is. It's not entirely about validation. It's more so about, I think, I'm not crazy, right? Like, I'm not crazy. I have these thoughts. Someone has to agree. But also, okay, so at the beginning of this book, Orwell...

I should go get my copy of it because I've highlighted and underlined pretty much every fucking word in it. There are four main reasons why anyone would ever endeavor to write. One is for ego. One is for the aesthetic purposes of art and writing, right? That you see life as this beautiful artistic thing and prose and language and not just the English language. Of course, that's kind of what I'm speaking about just because English is my first language. But language...

used as a medium of art. That's the second reason. The third reason is political and nature, of course. And the fourth reason, I can't quite remember at this moment in time. Let me look it up. Orwell's four reasons for writing. Sheer egoism, a desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, to get your own back on grownups who snub you in childhood. What the fuck? Who wrote this? By Matt Tharp.

Stupid. Aesthetic enthusiasm is number two. Historical impulse. That was the third one. To sort of document what's happening and your thoughts on what's happening. And then the fourth is political purpose, which he makes some really great points in this book that everything is inherently political, which that's a whole thing to sort of go into. And the rest of this book is him

just honestly bitching about the British government's handling of the war and how what's interesting about the British empire

in the 40s, because that's when this – it was published in parts, I believe, different essays that were compiled into this, you know, why I write by George Orwell. And it was published in the late 30s through the late 40s, so through active wartime into directly post-war. And it's a reflection on how piss poor the British government –

behaved and conducted itself during the war and how it's like they weren't anti-Hitler enough and how disconnected, obviously, the ruling class is from the working class and how it's this great lie that the working class will one day be free of the shackles that the ruling class have put them in, right? It's so many, nothing's changed. And this book is so, so interesting in terms of, I love to hear him talk about

He cannot help but write. He can't help it. Like it has to happen. It had to come out of him. I mean, I think any creative would relate to that, right? Like to be creative is because you cannot help it. When I first started making TikToks, when I was a little baby child,

I loved to make shit. I crafted with my nana. I would film myself singing and dancing. I would do monologues in my room. I would act like I was a pop star singing into my hairbrush. Things like that are not to be denied as a creative medium.

And the audience is just yourself. Now, would I perform for my family and friends? Yeah, I would. Sit down. You're going to watch me do this. But it's also, that's for me. It's for every creative. You create for yourself. And then, you know, everything else that comes after that is a blessing. But I've been really locked the fuck into Orwell's. I mean, y'all know I love Orwell, but it's this feeling of, God, are we still back here?

Have we not graduated out of, we're back in the fucking 40s. And I know that's a, it might be an embellishment, but the same problems we're facing today. Watching your government become fascist and authoritarian, it is a scary thing, but it's not something we have not experienced before as a collective, you know, human, humanity.

And there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And that's what a lot of these, I mean, I wouldn't say Orwell's an optimist per se, but I see a hope in his writing. Even if there's a cynicism there, I see a hope. So yeah, that's something I've been reading lately. Very tea. I would recommend it. It's a quick read. It's like 120 pages long.

Oh my fucking god. Oh my god. When I say this, I know how it sounds, but I know probably everyone will agree with me. Sex and the City is one of the best shows ever made. And I just spit everywhere. I just spit all over this fucking desk trying to say that. Hey, say it, don't spray it. Say it, don't spray it, pal. Overactive sweat glands. Overactive spit glands. I get so damn excited. I get so damn excited about Sex and the City, I start spitting.

What are those? Is that llamas? Why do llamas do that? Why do llamas spit? It's really rude. Llamas primarily spit to communicate with their herds. Me to y'all. Me spit all over this desk and y'all are like, yes, write that down, write that down. Establish dominance, me to y'all, and defend themselves, y'all to me.

They may spit at other llamas to assert their position in the hierarchy or to warn them away from food or personal space. Spitting can also be a way for a female llama to signal that she is not interested in a male's advances. Hey, let's adopt that.

You want to come near me? Right? Get the fuck back. While llamas rarely spit at humans, they might do so if they feel threatened or mistreated. Who's mistreating llamas? Y'all better be nice to those damn llamas. Y'all better be nice to llamas and moose because you know how I feel about moose. Meese, if you will.

The Lamanese. Y'all know my thoughts and opinions on the Lamanese and the Mies. Be kind to them. They will turn on us and I will not be the one spearheading that fight. I will be hiding because I know I come secondary to Mies and llamas. If they've been raised primarily by humans and haven't spent much time with other llamas. Oh, they spit at humans because they think we're llamas. Male llamas often spit at each other to establish dominance, especially during mating season.

Okay. Ew. When a llama spits, it often regurgitates partially digested food and stomach acid, making the spit more potent and visible. Now, just because of morbid curiosity, I have to Google what this looks like. Llama spit. Look away. Yeah, the Red Bull's making my tummy hurt. What can you do? You really can't do much. You live by the bull, you die by the bull.

I just need to let everyone know that I'm currently experiencing technical difficulties and I'm like doing my hotspot, doing whatever, trying to... For the purpose of googling llama spit, I have got to know what that shit looks like. I'm just... It's morbid curiosity at this point. Stand by. I'll show you guys in a second. We're raw dog in this episode. I cannot use Google. My shit's not working. So here we go. Sex in the city. I believe that...

I'm forever changed by Aiden and Carrie. Okay, I just want to talk about Aiden again because like I said last time, I'm having vivid fantasies about Aiden. Aiden was the perfect boyfriend and quite honestly, Carrie's too self-destructive. She's too self-sabotage-y to appreciate a good thing when she has it. She would much rather have Mr. Big, okay? And do I understand it? Of fucking course I do. Do I fault her? No.

However, who's the real victim in this scenario? Aiden. And that's the one and only time in my life I'll feel bad for a man in a relationship, okay? Because he really did love her with everything. He was so tolerant. And she just, she wasn't ready for his type of love.

And that makes me sad, right? Because that's the type of love that every woman deserves, to just be seen, to be cared for, to be taken out of your comfort zone in the best way, to live life and experience life with a romantic partner who is your rock, who will always be there. And that was Aiden. Fuck!

And Carrie's a damn cheater. She is a damn cheater. And that is so, oh, when that was happening, I was like, get the fuck up. Are you serious, girl? And here's also the thing is I see myself, I think I said this last episode, I see Carrie in me and I'm majority Miranda though. What did I say? I said, I'm a Miranda son, a Carrie moon. I don't really have much of Samantha in me. I wish I did. I wish I did. I wish I was a Samantha Rising.

I'm a Miranda rising, a Carrie sun, and a Charlotte moon. That's actually what I am. That's what I am. And you know what? Miranda just started seeing Dr. Robert, who I am very much, I'm very much in favor of this relationship. And can I say something really vindictive and nasty? This is nasty of my spirit. The weird friction between Steve and his new girlfriend and Miranda and Dr. Robert, I like it.

I like it. Sorry, because Steve had a damn good thing. Miranda and Steve, I do think they're meant to be together because they're equally as fucked up. But yeah, Steve always being like, yeah, Debbie, Debbie, Debbie. Girl, fuck you. I don't give a fuck about Debbie. If you're happy, great. But, and can I say something also? And this is just me sort of, okay. I'm a child of divorce.

I know that there are so many legal rules when it comes to a marriage and separating, you know, as two equal caregivers, suing each other for custody, whatever. Who gets to be around that child? And visitation times are very, you know, legally mandated, very closely monitored. I had a, what is that called? A...

It was almost like a child psychologist, like a child lawyer, like someone to represent my... What the fuck is that called? Why isn't my internet working? Ad litem. Guardian ad litem. In a divorce case, a child is typically represented by a minor's counsel, also known as a child's attorney or guardian ad litem, who advocates for the child's best interests. This lawyer's role is to investigate the family situation, advise the court, and ensure the child's voice is heard. Period.

I had one of them and do I remember it? No, but what a beautiful factor in that whole equation, right? Because it's what each parent wants and each parent thinks they know best for the child, but truly a conversation with the child and what they're saying. I mean, there's a level of psychology there of like, what's really going on at home, you know?

My parents are fantastic, lovely. You know, some people just aren't meant to be together. That's kind of my scenario. But the divorce was, I was so young. I am very fortunate and blessed to have

parents who love me more than anything. I was the only child from that union and I have two great half-siblings from my dad and my stepmom. But from that union, it was two parties who loved me more than... They were willing to do whatever to have custody of me. And so they ended up having split custody. Do y'all give a shit? And yeah, and ad-lib attorney. Crazy. Why the fuck was I talking about that? Anyway, Aiden and Carrie...

Oh, oh, oh, oh! Miranda and Steve. They have this co-parenting thing down to a science from what I'm seeing.

Steve takes being a father seriously. Miranda doesn't really have a fucking choice, does she? And I'm still gagged that Miranda kept the baby because she, to me, strikes me as a woman who's like, fuck kids. Like her career is her baby. Everything she's built. Like there are certain career paths that make having a child damn near impossible. I would say legal is one of them. And I would say like finance is another. But it's this thing of...

I see what they're doing. And I think even from that whole charade of Miranda being like, I'm in love with Steve. And clearly Steve's still in love with her. And they're denying their own emotions. And they're trying to make the other one jealous. It's fucking juvenile. And it's hard to watch. But I get it. I guess I get it because Steve did what any man would do, I guess, and just got a new girlfriend, moved on.

It's much easier for men to find a woman than for a woman to find a man. No hate to Debbie, the new girlfriend. She sounds lovely. But yeah, it's this weird, like, it's almost Debbie and Dr. Robert are collateral in this weird emotional mental war, the long game that Miranda and Steve are waging on each other. And it pisses me off. And there's a baby in the middle of it.

But I was going to say, that makes me a bit uncomfortable having lived through, I know how strict the guidelines are for, this is what I was saying. When you are dating someone who already has a child and is separated, there are so many court mandates on who can be around that kid and how long and what happens in the presence of this third party. It gags me a little bit watching just like, oh yeah, the new girlfriend and this and whatever because...

I know they were never married and that's why, you know, no courts involved. But it's just tea, isn't it? Because I'm like, it makes me a bit uncomfortable having girlfriends come and go around this developing child. And I'm talking about these people like they're real. I'm like, I don't know Steve first. I don't personally know Steve, but from what I've seen, he can be a bit childish, okay? And that worries me when he was going to... Let's actually get into this because...

Steve is a man child. Steve wants to be babied and then resents the woman who babies him, right? The worst type of man, the worst type of man. You're proving to me that you are incompetent, that you're a little baby who happens to

To like work at a bar. It's like I was not raised with that level of blase, you know, life happens to me. I don't control life. Like in my head, it's about self-discipline. It's about setting the steps for your own success and not being a victim.

And to Steve, Steve strikes me as this type of person that life happens to him. And that pisses me off. I don't want to be with someone like that because that signals to me you lack the capability to take accountability. Does that make sense? Where in order to become a better person and to acknowledge that there is an issue that you can work through together, you have to be able to say, I fucked up. I'm acting like I'm in this show.

I'm like, if I was Miranda, I would be able to say, you behave in a way that makes a less than desirable aspect of my personality come out. It's not necessarily your fault, but it's you and I versus this issue, okay?

You behaving in that way puts more pressure on me or I feel more pressure to take care of you. And I start to resent that and you're resenting me for wanting to take care of you because you're proving to me you can't do it on your own. And so I'm picking up the slack and I'm starting to resent you because no one's caring for me. Okay, it has to be a give and take and it has to be a healthy communicative relationship where I can express myself

I'm not feeling taken care of in this moment. And you, as my partner, should be able to be like, totally hear you, right? And that's my bad. And I'll work on that. And I should be able to say the same thing. Hey, that's my fault. I'll work on that. Because if you really love each other, you'll make it work. You'll make it work. That pisses me off about Miranda and Steve because here I see this strong, capable, independent woman who has built a lovely life for herself.

Throw it away for this fucko! Steve's a nice guy, okay? But nice isn't enough. I need you to be competent and reliable and dependable. Because that's what a relationship is. We can hang out, okay? I can be friends with a nice guy. But fuck, bitch! That's my baby's father! Pissed off.

Anyway, that's my thing with Miranda and Steve is the baby situation makes me a bit uncomfortable because who's to say if Debbie's going to stick around? I'm only on like episode 10 of season six. And I think the movie is next. I'm gonna watch the movie next. And y'all are telling me that the TV show is not good. The next TV show is not good. And now I'm like, I have to see it through to the end. I have to see it through to the end because each time I know that that's why I love this show so much is it really captures this

feeling that like if you get it you get it of is this the one like Carrie has such a hope with each man that comes into her life and Charlotte too is this the one and I know that feeling of like God is the search over can I hang up my fucking jersey in the rafters and seeking my partner and of course the answer is no the answer is no

And I also appreciate that they're showing like Charlotte got married and that shit did not work. And then she got married again. And there's a fearlessness in that of I am dedicated to my own happiness, period. I'm dedicated to my own happiness and I need to trust myself. Oh my God, that's a great segue into what I want to talk about next. I need to trust myself to know what is good for me. I'm my own ad litem attorney. Thank you so much.

Girl, last time we talked, I was about to go to a psychic that day. Me, Drew, and Dason were going to go to a psychic, okay? We went, oh my God. Let me just put this out in the universe, okay? I'm an expat Christian. I have a proclivity towards spiritualism.

I was raised as a spiritual being. I feel connected with the other, whatever is out there. I feel connected to it. I don't know what it is. I don't know if it has a name, but I know that I am connected. That sounds kind of woo-woo. I don't give a fuck because it helps me sleep at night and it saves me from the cosmic horrors, okay?

We went to this damn psychic and I'm thinking it's kind of a joke, but really not. Okay? Because a psychic, what are you talking about? A clairvoyant? It's just some white lady with a bunch of bangles on like, I see love in your future. Like, fuck you! Girl, we show up. I had spoken to Miss Chloe. Miss Chloe. She was the cutest little...

She had to be four foot 10, Persian lady, gorgeous lash extensions, acrylic toenails. Hey, I trust you immediately. I trust her immediately. A matching Fabletics outfit. I trust you immediately. Okay. And we sit down and she's like, have you ever had a reading before? And I'm like, no. And honestly, I'm kind of scared because you know, all the negative connotations of like a psychic reading. I don't want to be told I'm going to die. Hey, newsflash, we all die. My God. Sorry. Someone was calling me on the Mickey phone.

I don't want to be told that I'm going to die, even though that is quite honestly the only certainty in this lifetime is that you're going to die someday. I don't need to be told about all that, Miss Chloe. Keep that to yourself. But we went in with an intentionality of like, I want to know about my love life. I want to know about my future. And I want to know about my finances. Those are kind of the big three.

And we go in and she's like, okay, we'll do a palm reading and we'll do a tarot reading. And my friends have done tarot for me before. I talked about Annabelle did it a few weeks ago on me. And you pick and choose what applies to you. And a lot of it did apply to me. Some of it didn't, whatever. This was crazy, y'all. If you've never been to a psychic and you feel on a similar spiritual wave as me, like a frequency as me where-

I'm not fully convinced, but I'm not anti, right? And the more that I kind of flirt with, it's not the occult. The more that I flirt with this outside the bounds of Christianity, like this spiritualism or any Abrahamic religion,

I feel more seen than I ever did with Christianity. And that's a loaded statement, which I can get into later. But with that, we go in and she goes, okay, show me your palms. And so I go, oh God, what if there's shit under my nails? Is that a bad sign? And as I showed her my palms, as she looked at both, she said, that one. Okay, what the fuck? Is my other one, is this one ugly? I was like, okay, okay.

And she stared at my hand for like 30 seconds, dead silence. And I'm like, I'm going to die. Oh my God, I'm going to die. It's happening. I'm balding. I'm balding, aren't I? Just say it. She goes, July is your lucky month. Hey. Hey, what? She said, I see a great career for you. She said some stuff about like friends betraying me. And then she said some stuff about

living through that and being rewarded with great friends who truly see you. And I'm like, damn. She said my lucky number is 10. Hey, my birthday is the 10th. She said my lucky day of the week is Thursday. Okay. Then she gagged me because she was like,

I sense, and by the way, she didn't, we gave a fake name. Like she clearly did not know who I was, which I wanted because I wanted a complete, you know, like let's test this. There's a lot of information about me online. I need you to lock the fuck into what's happening right here on my sweaty, oily palm. And don't touch it. Cause you know, might get my juices on you. But she goes,

I feel a sickness, a negative energy in your stomach and your legs. Does that resonate with you? And I go, what the fuck are you saying? Because of course, the gallbladder escapade of 2025, right?

All that happened and all of that caused other shit. Like I had pancreatitis and then I had, I was jaundiced. Like all this shit has happened in my gut and my legs. I haven't told anyone this, but like I have leg spasms that are, it's kind of worrisome, but I've gotten it kind of checked out. I got, I mean, we're really getting into it here. I had an ultrasound on my legs probably three, four months ago.

Because my legs spasm and it's not in a, it's not painful, but it is annoying. It happens 24 seven all the time. And I was like, girl, I fly so much. If I have a blood clot and something happens when I'm midair, oh my, like it makes me sweaty and panicked thinking about it.

I haven't really told anyone that. Barely even my friends and family because I've just been kind of dealing with it. It's not life-threatening. I had an ultrasound on all the veins in my legs. I have no blood clots. I have no deep vein thrombosis, nothing like that. I don't even have, knock on wood, varicose veins or anything, which can happen in young women, but it's an issue that needs to be addressed. I don't have any of that. It's just my leg spasm. And I'm like,

And the doctor, the last time I spoke to him said, it might be nerves. Like my nerves might be damaged or pinched or something like that. I've also struggled with sciatica and come to find out I had an x-ray a couple months ago as well for all this gallbladder shit. Something's up with the bottom of my spine. I got a herniated disc or something like that. Hell, I don't know. Something slipped. Something slipped out of place. Hell, I don't know. It's pinching on me. It's pinching me.

I don't know what's going on, but regardless, my point being, I haven't told that many people. She clocked it. She said, there's something with your stomach and your legs. And I almost started crying because I was like, okay, I believe you. Immediately, I believe you. Because that is so specific. I...

I do believe that there is an aura, a light around people. And I do believe that some people can see it. And she also said something, because I went into this reading holding an intention in my mind, because she told me to. She also told me not to tell anyone. Hey, I'm telling everyone. Because I have to. I have to talk about this shit. She said that

Hold an intention in your mind. My intention was I need to connect with my female intuition. I feel so disconnected from what I know to be right. I listen to everyone. I give everyone around me way more credit than I give myself. And when that starts to happen, when you're disconnected from what you believe and what you think and you value everyone else's opinions over your own, I've been so disconnected

like teetering on the edge of depressed for a long time. I'm anxious as fuck all of the time. The Red Bull probably does not help. Okay, I will be the first to admit that. I'm so anxious all the time. And of course, the state of the world has a lot to do with that. But it's also, it's a mental thing just on me that I feel disconnected from my intuition. I feel like I'm not in control and that's hard for me. I also feel like

Some of the things that I do, I don't know if I would have done if I didn't listen to someone else. Does that make sense? And that leaves me feeling weird because it's like, who am I serving? And in this job, I serve an audience. You know, I serve the people. I'm a people pleaser. How do you balance being a people pleaser with pleasing yourself? And I just have for a long time been tug of warring in my own brain with this shit.

And so her saying that, or me going in with that intention, I don't know if I've noticed a significant difference thus far, but I'm working on it. And if anyone has any tips or tricks, if there's any woo-woo bitches out there for intuition, like do I need to burn an intuition candle? Do I need to put a crystal up my hole? What do I need to do? Bathe in the moonlight and the crystal juice. I will do whatever it takes because...

That connectivity, I have been lacking for so long, and it's shaken me, to be honest. And I think I'm just now able to actually articulate what it has been. Why do I feel so all the time? It's because I'm floating. I'm lost in my own brain. Anyway, she said that – well, she actually didn't say bullshit about intuition, which is kind of upsetting because that's all I wanted to say.

But she said, I'm meeting a young gentleman in July. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. And I tried not to give too much weight to that statement. She said, he is tall. Hey, amen. And the church said, amen, he is tall. Yes, God and God is good. He's tall. She said, a big trip is coming up soon. I'm going to Ireland in August.

I'm just like, there are things that, sure, like she said some shit that didn't really resonate, but it was a very small percentage. And who's to say, right? Like maybe it doesn't resonate yet. And maybe if and when it happens, I'm going to look back and be like, damn, she was right.

I'm already having that. Me and Dacen have been texting like, damn, she kind of was really good. I need to go see her again. And she even said, come back and visit me after July and let me know what happened. And I'm like, what happened? So we will see.

Anyway, yeah, I would really, if you've never been to a psychic, don't get scammed, by the way. Some of these psychics we were calling, and I know I'm in Hollywood, whatever. They were like, that'll be $500 for a 30 minute session. You're smoking crack. That's crazy. I was like, a palm readings?

50 bucks. I'll pay 50 bucks for a palm reading. Tarot, sure, I'll pay 100, okay? And that's like, you better be talking to me for 30 minutes about my tarot and answering my questions and whatever. I don't want you to just be like, for you, I see great fortune. Okay, I take Venmo, Cash App, Zelle. I'm like, girl. And so I was very happy with Miss Chloe and I will see her again. Oh my God, my internet just came back. The universe provides an abundance mindset.

And what did I Google? Child lawyer. Okay, now I'm going to look up llama spit. And what does it look like? Ew! It's like green! Ew! Now, llamas are just so cute. I'll be really honest. What the hell? What the hell-y? What? There's llamas wearing sunglasses! What the fuck? They don't do that!

Anyway, wow, I love llamas. That's so millennial of me. That was a very millennial moment, and I can actually acknowledge that. Um, spit happens. Happy hump day. Shut the fuck up. Anyway, yeah, so my psychic was great. I had a great time with the psychic. I will be going back. And...

I will say a lot of the reading kind of centered on don't tell anyone. You need to maintain your privacy a bit better. Hey, I'm working on it. Hey, we can't all be perfect. All right. Progress is not linear. It comes in waves. Oh, also, let me just say this, right? She said, be more private. Well, speaking things into existence works. It fucking works. And I'm on that one.

woo side of TikTok because TikTok algorithm is psychic. We know this, okay? It's not an if, it's a yes. It listens, it's psychic, it predicts what you want to see. I get a lot of tarot readings on my For You page and it's insane how kind of accurate they are sometimes. It's exactly what I want to hear. Is it cognitive bias? Yeah. Is that what it's called? Confirmation bias. Yes, it's that.

But if it's for the betterment of, you know, my life and things that I want in my life, like contentment and abundance and fulfilling relationships and beautiful friendships and comfort and love, then yeah, I have no problem speaking about that. That to me is not a breach of privacy. It's like I'm welcoming it in, you know, and...

I don't really see something wrong with that. Now, Miss Chloe might batch me over the head, but who fucking knows? And it's kind of got me into, this is so not like how I was raised, which is crazy. It's got me into tarot a little bit. And actually, this is what I wanted to look up. How does tarot work and where do the cards come from?

Interpretation of symbolic imagery, yes. They are believed to work by accessing the reader's intuition and subconscious, sometimes in conjunction with external influences like spirits or collective symbolism. The cards themselves are thought to be a conduit for accessing this information rather than possessing inherent power. Yeah, it's kind of like a Ouija board, but not as... Why are Ouija boards... Why are Ouija boards bad?

They're believed to be a form of divination, which is forbidden by some religious and spiritual beliefs. What do you mean by divination, though? What is meant by divination? The practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. Are tarot cards not also divination? A medium of divination? Some people believe that Ouija boards can connect users to spirits or entities, which may not always be benevolent. Here's what I want to know. History of Ouija boards.

Is it Ouija? It's Ouija. The Ouija board. A talking board for communicating with spirits was patented in 1891. Now see, here we go. The fucking capitalists coming in and patenting a spiritual practice. 1891 by Elijah Bond and popularized by William Fold, who took over its production.

While Bond and others initially saw it as a way to contact the dead, it was Fold who marketed it as a game, capitalizing on the growing American spiritualist movement after the Civil War. The name Ouija itself was reportedly given by a planchette on the board when asked what it should be called. Oh, define Ouija. Oh, that just kind of sent a chill down my spine. Is Ouija an Egyptian word?

Ouija is called – what's happening when you use a Ouija is called automatic writing. And the marketers of the original boards claimed the term Ouija itself derived from an ancient Egyptian word for good luck. Though any casual observer can see that the word was formed from –

Though any casual observer can see that the word was formed from combining the words for yes in French and German, oui, ja, tying into the yes and no that appear on the board itself. A note on pronunciation, either ouija or ouija is acceptable. Okay. Now that is very interesting to me. Okay, now I want to know about tarot. Origin of tarot.

Because let me go ahead and make a prediction. I would say that tarot might be from the traveling community, the Romani people. Tarot cards originated in 15th century Italy as a card game called tarocchi, tarocchi, because double C's in Italian are, that's C, right? Double C in Italian pronunciation.

In Italian, double C is generally pronounced as a single "k" sound, similar to the hard C in words like cat or cup. However, if the double C is preceded by an H, it becomes a hard "k" sound, like in words where "ch" should be pronounced as "k". What? The word "chiosco", which is "ch", is pronounced with a hard "k". Yeah.

words with H before the double Cs are still pronounced as a hard K. For example, Pinocchio is pronounced with a hard K. Okay. Similar to Pinocchio. What? Okay, go back. So double Cs pronounced as K. Italian broski nation, let me know. Oh, shit.

The earliest decks were created for the wealthy and were often hand-painted. These decks, like the Visconti's Forza deck, included a fifth suit of trump cards, distinguishing them from standard playing cards. While initially a game, tarot cards later gained popularity for divination, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, with occultists assigning symbolic meanings to the cards. One of the suggested searches is, is tarot okay for Christians? Relax a little bit, guys. Hey, it's going to be okay.

Many Christians object to tarot because of its associations with divination and fortune telling, but others are increasingly using the cards as a tool for self-directed spiritual contemplation. That morbid curiosity, that macabre interest in the occult has always fascinated me. You give a Puritan society or a Puritan religion something

knowledge that the occult is out there, no one's more interested than someone who adheres to a strict and stern religion, right? It's a fascination and it turns into a fear and that turns into prejudice. Just gag, okay? Like, you guys want to have your tarot read so bad. You guys want a palm reading so bad. That's that shit where when you get the devil card, the devil does not mean death.

The, look, let's Google it. The devil tarot card meaning. It represents being seduced by the material world and physical pleasures. Also living in fear, domination, and bondage. Being caged by an overabundance of luxury. Discretion should be used in personal and business matters. The devil tarot card suggests feelings of obsession, addiction, and entrapment.

It can signify a sense of helplessness due to external forces or circumstances. However, it reminds you that you're responsible for your actions and your perceived constraints are often self-imposed. Gag. Okay, the devil card upright signifies the shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction, and sexuality. Reversed, releasing limiting beliefs, exploring dark thoughts. Ew.

and detachment. Very tea to me. Where did the symbols for tarot come from? I also want to Google Romani community tarot. The Romani community has a long and significant history with tarot, not as its creators, but as its custodians and practitioners, particularly in the realm of fortune-telling.

While the exact origin of tarot is debated, it's clear that the Roma have played a crucial role in preserving and developing its use for divination and wisdom traditions. Fortune telling being a survival trade passed down through generations. Some Romani individuals express concerns about the appropriation of their cultural practices and symbols when non-Romani people use tarot. It's so interesting because if we're saying that that is correct, that it was developed and, you know, as a

adjacent to a card game in the 15th century. That's such a... I have to Google this on my own. I have to read about the history of tarot because, of course, cultural appropriation is bound to happen. And in that, it becomes diluted. And the quality of tarot that we have today and the mass production of tarot cards and whatever, very intriguing to me because...

They write books on this and you can literally like do a spread and then read what it says. And that just feels like the interpersonal act of pulling and reading tarot for someone is lost in that. If you do a reading on yourself and you reference a book, I don't know. I've always seen tarot as the reader or the person pulling the cards has an element of clairvoyance to them.

a third eye that's been opened. Do I sound insane? Y'all have to agree with me, right? This shit's real. This shit is real if you want it to be real. But it's a slippery slope because if you start justifying maybe negative actions or sabotaging actions based on a spiritual reading that you got, that's where it's like, I don't know if the spirits are telling you to do all that, girl.

I don't know if that's what the spirits meant. So who knows? I don't know if the spirits want you to get back with your ex. I don't know if that's actually in the cards, but you know what I mean? We're like, there has to be a level of human discernment. That's like, okay, that serves me. That probably doesn't serve me. All very interesting to me. And every time I get a tarot reading on my for you page, I watched the whole fucking thing, especially when they're like, no hashtags. This was meant for you. Yeah, it was meant for me.

Because I'm... Ouija board. Most famous Ouija board stories. Yeah, we're going on r slash ghosts. Once again, welcome to Rookin' Hour! Now take all of this with a grain of salt. We're doing story time. We're doing ghost story time with Brittany Brodsky on the Brodsky Report, courtesy of r slash ghosts.

Here we go. So the prompt is people who have used Ouija board, what's the scariest response you've gotten? This one was scary to me.

My mom and aunt used a board after their dad died. He had remarried but had told his daughters that he was leaving them a few things in his will, including some money. His second wife was the executor and was saying he hadn't left them money, etc., etc. Sorry, I can't remember exactly what she said. Anyway, mom and her sister thought it was possible the money wasn't left to them after all, like second wife said, but my aunt was really strapped for cash and they felt like it was also possible the second wife was withholding the info and money.

They apparently managed to get their dad via the Ouija board and asked him whether he had left them money in his will. It spelt out a three-letter acronym for a bank and then a series of numbers. Turns out he did have a bank account with money in it intended for his daughters. The account matched the bank acronym and account number. This one spooked me because the details were a surprise to my mom and aunt. I don't know how they could have got that info out of thin air.

Okay, next story. I'm from a farming family. We used to sell grain through the Canadian wheat board and you would get paid and at the end of the year, you'd get a final payment. You never know how much per bushel you'd get as a final payment. My brother asked the Ouija board and it told us. Can't remember, it was 30 years ago. Anyway, he went to the coffee shop, told all his buddies how much it was gonna be. A few months later, it was announced and it was the exact amount. The coffee group were as amazed as my brother and I. Okay, all this is about money.

The first and only time I ever used one, I was a teenager playing on it with a friend on my back porch. I didn't know of anyone who had died recently. Oh, here we fucking go. Except I remembered from an old photo on the wall, a great aunt called Neil. The name Neil stuck with me because it was a boy's name. So I try to talk to great aunt Neil, but when I speak, I say without hesitation or control, Aunt Connie.

I thought, that's weird. I don't have an Aunt Connie. I try again and say, I'm trying to speak with, and mentally said the word Neil, Aunt Connie. It was an involuntary response. Very weird, very weird, but we moved on and kept playing. When my mom got home from running errands, she asked how our game was going. And I replied, it's fine, except I kept trying to talk to Great Aunt Neil, but kept saying Connie, which is so weird because I don't have an Aunt Connie.

I still remember my mom's face in that moment. Turns out, I did have an Aunt Connie. Just got chill. Just got chill. She was a baby who died of SIDS decades before I was born. My mom almost named me after her. Oh, I'm chill on my body! I went on to have extreme paranormal experiences that continue to this day, actually. I think it opened a door that I have not been able to close.

The scariest things that have ever happened to me were from when I was a moody 15 to 18 year old girl. That seemed to really energize my surroundings and lots of scary things happened. I saw people. I heard my name whispered in my ear at night multiple times. I would kill myself, dude. Holy shit.

Those, what were they called? Those chain emails that were like, if you don't borrow this, she will be standing at the end of your bed. I always borrowed that shit. Get that shit away from me. I mean it. I mean it. That, do not do that to me because I have an active imagination. Okay. I am constantly on the, on the edge of psychosis. I'm, I am so not stable up here that,

That shit, I do not invite it in. I do not invite it in, but I know they see me as a victim. They see me as a future victim. You're not going to get me, bitch. You're never going to get me. Anyway, speaking of which, I should really get a protection for my home. I'm going to go to a crystal shop today. Because what do you, I mean, you can sage the house, but I don't, it has to be like Native American sage. I don't want any of the fake bullshit like,

From the originators of the practice. That's where I want to get my shit. Ethically, sustainably sourced. But I don't know. I want someone to come stage it for me. I don't know what I'm doing. Okay. I'm just scared. My mom has this. I'm a mother of the ghost hunter. Thank you very much. Has this silver. Mom, I know you're watching. What is it called? It's just a silver oval plaque that says like God is here.

What does it say? It's like God is my protector or something. And it's that solid silver, which is good. And I think she had it blessed by someone. She's also got holy water in the house. Is my mom Catholic? No. Which I've talked about this before. How when she does investigations and expeditions. Actually, let's call her. Let's call her. Hello. Mita. What you doing, Darbus? You're on the Broski Report.

I'm on the grocery report. I've got an occult question for you. Okay. Okay. What you got? What is that solid silver thing that you've always had in your house that's above doorways? It's just a little plaque that says, may God bless our home. Was it blessed by anyone? Or is there a significance to it being solid silver? I remember you telling me that one time. Not really. And it's not silver. It's pewter.

And pewter is just pewter, silver, any of the metals that come from the earth just hold good vibes and good energy. Okay. And so when I move into a home, I like to kind of clear out my home. And I pray over my home and I also bless it with sage. Okay.

Okay, that's my next question is... Yes. I know that when you do...

investigations or when you, you know, move into a new home, whatever, a lot of the, and I've asked you this before, but never talked about it on the podcast. A lot of the customs and traditions, and I guess rituals are deeply rooted in Catholicism. You are not a Catholic, nor have you ever been, nor do you want to be. What, how do you reconcile that? And why do you give, um,

legitimacy to like the Catholic way of cleansing a space when you don't adhere to that religion.

I would probably say because there really isn't a Protestant one per se. And I would, and, and so, you know, to, if I want to stick to Christianity, then the only other, um, I guess default would be, you know, the Catholic way of, of blessing. Um, I guess, you know, um, either, um,

a building or a person or whatever. I mean, because it's still, you know, God is still Jesus Christ and it's still trying to keep away bad spirits, you know, in the spiritual realm per se, or bring in the good ones. So I would probably say that's why. And just because traditionally in the paranormal realm that yes, that's how they've always done it. And I mean, any, any kind of, um,

Christian-based protection is welcomed, even holy water. I mean, you know, because that's blessed. Are there not? Why do you think there's no, like, exorcisms in Protestant followings? That's a good question. And, you know, not one that I've really studied or tried to find out why they don't cover.

It might be because maybe Protestants don't believe like the Catholics do about, I'm really not sure that I'm just putting it out there, maybe being possessed by demons. I mean, you don't really hear that from Protestants as much as you do like Catholics. I mean, obviously, because even the Vatican recognizes that.

possessions, you know, of souls. So I don't know, maybe it was just something that Catholics kind of did already and Protestants didn't need to, I guess, piggyback off of it. That's what I'm thinking. But I mean, we, you know, obviously we do believe that there are bad, you know, there's bad juju, bad

spirits and bad demons, but I don't know why. That's a very good question and one that I'm probably going to research now. Why is there not exorcisms per se other than asking that, you know, and telling that spirit, that bad spirit that they're not allowed here, they're not, you know, that kind of thing, not a full exorcism per se.

And maybe that's a priest thing. Maybe that's a Catholic, you know, from way back when, I don't know where it originates from. That would be a good thing to look into, which I will. Yeah. It just doesn't make sense. I mean, if you're talking about Christianity at its core is Christianity. I mean, I know that of course there's so many different differentiations of it, but like if demonic entities exist and that's like a, a truth, um,

Then why is it not? Anyway, my second question is, did you ever play with a Ouija board? Do you have a story? Yes, I have played with a Ouija board, but that was back in the day, way back in the day when I was a teenager and in my 20s. You think it's real? I start.

Yes, I absolutely do. It started off as a toy, but I do believe that it can open up portals to invite things into our world that...

was unable to get in. And I don't know why they came across this and thought it was going to be a toy when you hear so many stories about things that have happened with the Ouija board. But I will tell you that, yes, I have had a run-in with the Ouija board as far as when I did a ghost investigation of a personal home a few years ago, probably about 10 years ago.

And they had an entity in their home, a demonic entity. You know, we do this preliminary questions where we ask them, you know, tell us the history of the home. Tell us history about the people that live in the home, the experiences you've had. And there was a demonic entity in a closet that was, yeah, that would really interfere with the children in the home.

And come to find out, they were the adults in this home were doing, were playing with the Ouija board with the children in this closet. What the hell? And they didn't tell us about it until we found the Ouija board. They didn't tell us. They lied to us and said, no, we don't do Ouija board. We found it in the closet.

And we said, there's your problem. You have opened up some kind of portal and invited this entity in through this portal. And not closed it? And you did not close it. Because we asked, tell us what you did with this. And, you know, when you don't close it and say no and say, okay, we're done and do what you're supposed to do, just like the quote game says to do, then you leave it open for that entity to come in and out.

It can be just like mirrors or anything else. And so we had to remove it from the home. How do you dispose of it? So there's many ways that you can, but truly you have to have a priest or a pastor or somebody that. Not a Hasbro toy. I know that's been blessed by the church and you have to have a ceremony with it and you bury it. You can bury it or you can burn it.

To get rid of it. And you have to actually do the Ouija board to close it out first. And then bury it. Usually in a cemetery. Or you just burn the whole thing and you get rid of the ashes. The evil microplastic. And then after that, guess what? They didn't have any more problems. Isn't that weird? Who is on the other side of a Ouija board? Is it always...

negative energy or negative spirits? Or is it like, does everyone have evil intent on the opposite side of a Ouija board? No, no, there's not always evil intent on, because I think that it could be a portal just to try to contact loved ones. Just like if you were to,

do a seance using a crystal ball. You can bring in or any kind of seance with candles or flashlights. All of those are open doors to letting, letting spirits in. And when those, and those, those,

Again, piggybacking, evil spirits can come in that way and they can mask themselves looking like good spirits and they're really evil. So I'm not saying it's all evil, but I'm saying it is just as easy for a bad entity to get through those portals as it is maybe trying to contact a loved one or somebody from your past, from the past. Do you think they're trapped there? Ooh, yeah.

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I do. I think that. Like unfinished business? Yes, unfinished business. And sometimes I really do believe paranormal investigators can help, especially when you have psychics with you and that can help.

These entities pass over from one realm to the other and let go of whatever they might be attached to that's keeping them in their loop, basically. Yeah, I don't think it's always the case, but I absolutely do think that that can occur. Because there's different types of hauntings, right? I mean, we don't have to get too deep into it, but like a residual haunting versus... Is that the one where they're trapped in the same...

A loop. A loop.

you know, or in their home. And those are the ones where we sit there and try to communicate with them and we can see their actions or sometimes or like see nests and things like that, but they will never interact with us. We get a lot of residual hauntings where we don't get any evidence of people or any kind of spirits trying to contact us back.

And then, you know, there's actually many, you know, hauntings, different hauntings. But the one that we're always looking for are those that are going to be able to communicate back with us. There's many names for them in active haunting or... They're like more playful. They want a reaction. They want to interact with you. And you can actually ask them to do things, use this energy to reach out to us.

And that's where we can get evidence, like on our EMF readings or they light up a flashlight. And so we know that they are active in wherever they are, and they might try to communicate with us. That's why we set up equipment and then ask them to communicate with us. And what do they be saying, girl? What are they saying? Yeah.

they might be trying to tell us something. They might be trying to, trying to tell them, tell us that they might be trapped somewhere and they need help to get out of their situation or, um, yeah, you'd be surprised. You would actually be surprised. And it's not just humans. It can be animals too. Hmm. Yeah. What's the, you had a cat in your home? I had a cat. A dead cat?

a greyhound dog in my, in my, when I would think about this animal, these animals that were, it was like a grey, it was a greyhound, big dog.

And no, if they were dead, yes. If you're going to feel a spirit, yeah, they're dead. Usually they will have passed away. Do you like see it in your mind's eye? Because I know you told me that one story. You were on the toilet and you felt like a cat go over your feet. Over my feet. And it happened again in my old house across my feet when I was in the kitchen. Like a cat would just like a wispy across my feet. I walked across.

Do you see it in your mind's eye? Like it's soft, like an animal or you just like an image gets conjured up or how are you not just like, that's the AC. An image absolutely gets conjured up. And, um, even, and it was like a gray cat in my mind as it was doing it. And what was really weird was I had not told anyone.

Harry about this. And we were on the couch one night and he said, I just saw something like a cat or something in my mind. No way. In the corner of my eye going down that hallway toward the office. And I said, you did? I said, what was, he was like, it was like a cat. It was like a full, about the size of a cat. I said, what color was it? He said, gray. I said, no way. I said, that's the cat I'm telling you about that I told him. I had never told him the color before.

And it walked past my feet, you know? And then I felt the energy of a big dog trapped in my bedroom when I first moved into that house. Like somebody used to keep that dog locked up all the time. And there were scratch marks on the door. So I knew something was going on. But in my mind, I saw a greyhound, like an old, retired, big greyhound dog. Now, where did I get that from? I mean,

I mean, you know, I mean, it could be any dog in the world. Yeah, it's one of those things. Yeah, of like, is it just a trapped energy? Or is it actually...

You know, why would it, why would an animal still inhabit a space like that? It doesn't, what's the purpose? But I mean, it's like, why did my mind go there and, you know, either form that image or make it up or whatever it was. It wasn't a shadow image. It was in my mind. I felt the energy. I felt the angst of it. It wasn't a human. And it just,

You know, it was like almost like, you know, that third eye that, you know, you talk about that third eye chakra opening up and I felt it. So I did. I staged my house and I opened my door and I said, y'all can go now. Y'all go on. Get. Y'all have got to stop doing psychedelics together. I mean it.

And I never felt them again. So, you know, it's what you want to believe, you know, either that or, you know, you could just certify yourself as cray cray. So either way, you know. All right. It's all good stuff. Well, thank you, Mita.

You're welcome. Hopefully you'll learn some more information too. Let me know if you feel anything in your house. My house is good. You told me there might be a grandma here. She's welcome here. Yeah, you got a nonna there for sure. That's fine with me. You got a grandma. Okay, great. All right. You got any more questions, give me a call. I'm all about talking about Area 51 too. Okay. Love you. Love you too. Bye. Bye. She's an insane woman. I love her.

She is crazy, but you have to be a little crazy to be able to talk about this shit. You know what I mean? To even have an open mind of like, what the hell? There has to be other realms. There has to be more than just this. I don't know who's to say.

who's to say? Anyway, let's finish this story and then I'll continue on. Okay, so Aunt Connie, she almost got named after her or whatever, and then she started being haunted after that. The scariest thing that has ever happened to me were from when I was a moody 15 to 18-year-old girl. That seemed to really energize my surroundings and lots of scary things happened. I saw people, heard my name whispered in my ear at night,

I heard footsteps. I heard a voice mimic my father's and walk around the kitchen. That one convinced me that we were broken into and I stayed outside until my boyfriend came to get me. Of course, nobody there. My brother moved back into the family house after college and confirmed he also heard a voice mimic our father's and walk around the kitchen. Ah! I was gonna chill!

He didn't offer this info. I had to pull it out of him over dinner years later. We independently experienced this. I didn't know. No! In college, I saw a girl standing over my roommate's bed in the middle of the night. I'm itching. I woke up the next day and was like, hey, who was that? Rumi was like, oh, hell no. She and I still talk about it today. We were on a sorority hall at the time, so I dismissed it initially. It only hit me later that I didn't recognize her or see her legs. The other weirdest thing in college, ew, I've chosen

Okay, y'all, what the hell? I think I'll leave you on that note for right now.

And if you want merch, go to broski.shop. If you want to listen to my music, go listen to it. It's out. And I love you to death. Those resources will be in the description below. Y'all be good. Take care of each other. I love you. Goodbye.
