im a student nurse and have had patients die that led me into existential crises. once, a woman died and i went to the thrift store after my shift with my bf. i walked away from him and started staring at the mugs, how am i shopping after someones entire life just ceased? how am i supposed to go home and continue when i met someone who did not? death is all around us unfortunately, but i choose to not let it make me panic. instead, i thought of her while looking at the mugs. i thought, “i bet shed love to be looking at mugs right now” so i bought one. and it reminds me of her still. no one came to the hospital when she died, but i was there, and somehow her memory continues on with me when i drink my coffee from my black and turquoise mug. ❤️❤️ humans rule
@@mb-xx7tv its 6 am im studying for an exam in social work and you just made me ugly cry on my “law for social workers” book. ISTG i chose to get into the social work field because you can leave such an impact on people’s lives, but sometimes there’s simply nothing you can do. sometimes the situation is too complicated, sometimes the Law is simply not enough, sometimes the world is unfair, sometimes the person is too far gone. What do you do, then? What choice do you have? How can you let it “not get to you”? The answer is, you dont. you let it get to you. if you turn off your humanity and your empathy, you can bid farewell to the only principle your entire socio-sanitary profession is based on, the only thing that makes all your hard work worth something. Thanks for sharing your story, and sorry for my bad english - i havent slept and i wrote this reply with tears streaming down my face lol. i’m so in love with humans.
no one talks enough about how much youre constantly faced with mortality at a young age as a healthcare student/worker and how that affects us! i think about all the patients i’ve seen often and even just cases that i’ve learned about. it’s just so hard to put into words the anxiety, but gratitude for life , but feelings of existential dread , hurt for patients and their families but also wanting this career like nothing else. it’s hard to come to terms with at times. the lifestyle i dreamt about and chose is exactly what i wanted but also just that intense feeling thats always around of all the knowledge you have and things youve seen happen that you don’t really ever get to talk about.
@@anacaylen6509I have visited ER's many many times, and I am always in such admiration of how the workers are so wise, intelligent, strong, and kind. You guys are special humans fr. Angels on earth. Thank you so much for being you!!
Idk if you’re spiritual or not, but if I died and no one came to visit me, but the nurse who took care of me still remembers me and buys a little thing I thought I would like, I’d feel good. I’d watch over em.
For those of us w/o an iron - you can take anything to the cleaners they'll iron it for you - yes they'll talk shit about you in another language but it'll get done
I mean this in the most kind way: I recently just started binging Brittany's content, but prior to watching her long-form content, I only saw 5-10second clips of her being goofy. I am so delightfully surprised that Brittany has such a eloquent vocabulary, a spark for travel & a passion for everything she does. She is so deep in her thoughts & I fall further & further into Broski-Nation with every video I binge
Thus is the life of "hands off the wheel, eyes closed". Thank you for your contribution to broski nation. i hope you're safe and unharmed, and that your day gets better.
Brittany saying the catacombs put her life into context made me think of kamala harris saying “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?! You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you” in such a poetic way 😭😭
4 months after my mom died, I happened to be in Paris and decided to visit the catacombs by myself one day. Cemeteries had always been a comforting place for me but this particular experience brought so much peace and clarity about just how much company there is in death. My mother may have left this world behind, but I know that she isn't alone in the least, and those walls of bones helped me understand more than any counseling or therapy ever could. My mom knew more than anyone that I had been dreaming of going to France my entire life. I was devastated when she couldn't be there to see me live out that dream, but I like to think she was still there, settling in with the bones and embracing this new reality in tandem with myself.
Re catacombs, as someone who lives there: there's a LOT of ways to get down, and a some people make it a sort of life style: they find entries, they explore, they map the parts that are closed to the public. There's a lot of parties down there, so the dead still get to listen to music! One last thing: the most dangerous thing down there is the water. It rains a lot here, in the "unkept" parts, water can accumulated fast. And it carries whatever the rats didn't eat. Don't touch the water.
My thoughts about it were how nice it is if you're just sitting there for eternity to break up the monotony / silence with music and parties! I would feel like it would be uplifting to see that from the afterlife
the transition from: "from my rotting body, flowers shall grow and i am them and that is eternity" to "YALL GOT A MCBAGUETTE???🗣️📣" is really the broski nation diversity.
girlie here's the translation of the quotes from a native french speaker. first, the one on the frame leading to one of the many pathways, "QUOCUMQUE INGREDERIS SEQUITUR MORS CORPORIS UMBRA" means "wherever you go, death follows, (as) a body's shadow". second, on a sign imbedded in the stacked bones that's actually written in "Pensée des morts" by a great french writer, Alphonse de Lamartine, there's "Ils furent ce que nous sommes. Poussière, jouet du vent; Fragiles comme des hommes. Faible comme le néant!" and that means: "They were as we are Dust, the wind's plaything Fragile as men Feeble as the void". NOW, this on makes me sick because the existential crisis is real, it's by Malfiatre, "Insensés: nous parlons en maîtres, Nous qui dans l'océan des êtres Nageons tristement confondus; Nous dont l'existence légère, Pareille à l'ombre passagère Commence, paraît et n'est plus." Meaning, "Fools: we speak from authority, We who in the ocean of beings Swim sadly muddled, We whose gossamer existence, Like the passing shadow, Begins, appears, and is gone" Next, we got "Quelle est la Mort? toujours future ou passé Apeine est-elle présente, que déjà elle n'est plus. meaning “Where is Death? always future or past No sooner is she present than she is no more”. This one holds so much meaning, I almost just stacked myself with the bones, "SICUT, UNDA DIES NOSTRI FLUXERUN" means "Our days flowed like water". Then we got, "Ainsi tout passe sur la terre Esprit, beauté, grâces, talent Telle est une fleur éphémère Que renverse le moindre vent." which means: "So all things pass upon the earth Spirit, beauty, grace, talent Ephemeral as a flower Tossed by the slightest breeze" FINALLY, there's the one by Antoine-Marin Lemierre that says, "Quels enclos sont ouverts! quelles étroites places Occupe entre ces murs la poussière des races C'est dans ces lieux d'oubli, C'est parmis ces tombeaux Que de morts entassés et presses sous la terre! Le nombre ici n'est rien la foule est solitaire." meaning: "What enclosures are open! What narrow spaces Between these walls hold the dust of races! It is in these places of oblivion, it is among these tombs That time and death come to cross their scythes. So many dead piled and pressed under the Earth! Numbers here mean nothing; the crowd is lonely." There you go, hope this helps with your crisis supreme leader because it sure as hell made mine worse!!!
@@lauramosely2763 Fellow Broski nation citizen, I hear by thank you for your response. It is an honour and my great pleasure to receive this honorary title. 🫡 Bless the troops, Bless our rightful leader, Bless your heart. 🫡
52:56 Brittany, my boyfriend’s dad is Kenny, your Viking Splash Tour guide, and he’s so excited you gave him a shout out 🥲 he just loves telling people his dad jokes 🫶
you said it when u were talking abt the catacombs, but honestly some people need to have their children on leashes because what do u mean you’re just letting timmy run free and touch and lick on these bones? like that’s the parents fault, this is a historic site control your kid
Seriously like I have a 5 year old and he's pretty well behaved and respectful for his age, and he would still be leashed, stroller, carried, SOMETHING. It's a historic memorial with literal human remains?? Im all for kids being included in traveling and learning like this, but if you as a parent can't keep them under control in an appropriate way, then wait until they're older or don't take them
babe cos the way i started crying hearing her quote my most favorite phrase. i have it tattoed under my collar bones 🥲🥲🥲 “from my rotting body flowers shall grow” bc mortality is BEAUTIFULLLL and we are all just the universe experiencing itself!!!
As an Irish person I love the way Brittany talks about Ireland lol I think she’d love Blindboy’s podcast v informative and interesting niche topics often about Irish history
Thank you Britney for speaking so eloquently and deeply about Ireland. You really understand the people. It means a lot. There’s a struggle at the moment with the EU trying to take control of Ireland. So please keep up with us and support the country because otherwise it will change irreversibly.
yes bro!! it took me a couple listens to fully understand what she meant because i first saw it as a meme, but if you actually listen to what she’s saying it makes a lot of sense
i actually think cemetaries and memorial gardens and things like that used to be communal places. People would walk and hang out and read and stuff, because the ideas and belieefs around death have changed so drastically in the last century give or take? so I think holding concerts and doing tours and stuff in the catacombs isn't disrespectful, its a way to connect with our own mortality and humanity.
The catacombs are actually kind of amazing for this reason. Not just the bones but you can read all this writing people wrote to make sense of having 1/3 of the population die. There was almost a sort of reverence for death, like spiritual. Really incredible.
I totally agree! Also this is just my own opinion but I like to think that those bones have been there for so long that any lingering spirits have now moved on and are resting. Theres an eastern belief that if someone died “before their time” their spirits can (if they want to) remain on earth until their natural life would have ended then they move on.
I honestly think it gets disrespectful because the catacombs are DANGEROUS. Parts start deteriorating and collapsing. If people stopped going it would slow down the process
I could’ve listened to this for nine days straight!!!! Brittany needs a history podcast. Imagine her interviewing experts and asking questions?? That would be amazing
The bubonic plague lasted from the 14th to the 18th century. It was horrific, horrible awful. I did my final senior project in high school on it and I learned so much terrible sad shit and then I graduated and a year later my sister tested positive for the bubonic plague, she had a bone infection that almost killed her, how wild how crazy is that? I’ve been enthralled by this point in history for as long as I can remember, that is just so devastating so sad and that happens.😳… it’s just wild life is wild she lived of course but it was just Crazy!!
the whole section about the catacombs spoke to me so much because like what do you mean one day im going to be nothing but dust???? but the again theres a feeling of comfort in that fact that no matter what we all go back to being nothing again like we were before we were born, what once you were, you will be again which is a crazy fucking concept
I go back and forth between being comforted by that and then having sleepless nights of existential dread over the fear of it. There is no in between 😂
as much as the thought of eternity terrifies me I’ve always been strangely comforted by the law of conservation of mass… matter cannot be created or destroyed. Every part of me has existed, and every part of me will continue to exist
stop it. why am i tearing up from her talking about Caleb?! i don’t even know either of these people personally. friendship is just so so important and moves my soul.
i will never not deeply appreciate the vulnerable analyses of history, death, life and art on this podcast. it truly touches something spiritually inside of me. or perhaps i'm a little high. i think it's both though. much love.
this literally brought me to tears. brittany is such a beautiful person with such an introspective mind and i literally feel so lucky to be able to experience the portion of herself that she chooses to share with us. i’m only 15 but i rlly look up to her and the duality of her personality how she is absolutely hilarious and also so exceptionally smart like omg i wanna be her
As a biologist, when thinking about what makes us human, I always go back to "we burry our dead". Almost all animals just suck it up or dont really understand death, but we make so much effort for our dead and that is so much of who we are as a species.
I think its so interesting that THAT is what separates us as a species bc in some cultures, people don't bury their dead, but the effort to make their death mean something and to put them at peace is still there. In some Indigenous cultures of Canada and the US, a tradition is to put their dead high up in trees so that their spirit can escape easier from their body. Its still the same concept, humans make death mean something somehow, no matter if it is comfort for the dead or the living.
Um, actually lots of birds and mammals do mourn and e.g. revisit their cemetaries. They don't preserve the bodies or the grave sites in the way that we do (to be easily noticalble for you), but that doesn't mean they don't remember their dead. A lot of social animals have culture. Life is so precious to us because of the long childhood development and what it takes to take care of a child. But thats also the case for other animals like bats. It's easy to just ignore the complexity of social structures and culture in other animals (and it's a handy excuse) but if you start looking for similarities (not the differences) in their lives and non-human forms of expression of culture you'll notice there's a lot.
@@elaleinchen86 This exactly. I'm a cultural anthropologist and a big part of what we study is "what makes us human"; or, more precisely, "what separates us from other species." The answer is that we are more similar to animals than many of us think. Everything we learn about ourselves only brings us closer to nature. I think this is part of why social media feels like such a curse sometimes; we separate ourselves FROM ourselves just to live an alternate life that can be deleted with one flick of a switch. Social media is not an experience, it takes AWAY from experiences. The simple answer is, what separates us from other animals is our ability to conceptualize the future. It is because we can imagine events that may not happen (or did not happen), we are human. We imagine ourselves living grand on a random website where nobody can truly feel who we are. We don't really know anyone online. We only have our imagination of who they could be. That's what makes humans different.
I love how you explain things. As a kid i struggled at learning.. But the way you explain with like emotion and ur use of hand gestures really help me stay focused. LIKE NOW I KNOW THE LORE OF THE CATACOMBS (idk how to spell it)
the notre dame thing really is crazy when you think about how that money could’ve also gone to a place like haiti, a country whose people are still absolutely ravaged by and feeling the effects of french colonization literal CENTURIES later…it is really is a sight to behold
I’m a barista from Germany and the other day I had Americans who wanted an iced latte with Carmel, usually I put 3 pumps caramel syrup in for a large. They wanted it sweeter, no problem. So I put in 2 more. Nope, not enough, sweeter. Okay, 2 more. Nope, still not enough. Then the mom said, “I’ll tell you when, we’re Americans we’re used to everything being very very sweet” and then she laughed. When I tell you I put in about 25 pumps of caramel syrup in, girl. We both laughed so hard
been dealing with my uncle's recent death, being reminded of my own mortality and the ones i care about. your words on the catacombs helped shed some light on me and my experience and the fact we all will die and have to bury our loved ones in our lifetime. even in death, we shall prosper for the earth and the ones we live for
This came at the perfect time. I was taking to my friend yesterday about death/mortality and overall it ended with me saying “I can’t wait to die” and my friend went “yeah, I will see you again someday” and FOR SOME REASON- that was the most comforting response to ever hear❤ so happy you had an amazing time on your trip ~
Dude the Irish bus tour guys are the funniest comedians on the planet. The bus tour guide to the Cliffs of Moher was the funniest guy I ever met, I was genuinely sad to leave him when the tour was over
Yess I had the BEST Irish bus tour guide named Kevin and he was so awesome. He could be so funny but he could also be so serious like he got people tearing up about the famine and he cried too and the next moment he was cracking jokes again. Love Kevin 🫶🫶
Loved hearing your thoughts on the catacombs. I visited them in 2015 and really knew nothing about them and was truly astounded. I think I was mostly impacted by the sheer numbers of lives we were seeing remnants of and I kept thinking it felt like a library. Instead of books it was bones but each carried a story. It’s one of my favorite places I visited in Europe
LOVED ireland!!! i saw those little viking cars in dublin lol. had lunch with some southerners the other day. i showed up to the restaurant alone and they invited me to eat with them. they were in az, where i live, on a work trip from mississippi, and they treated me like family. shared food and everything, and said, "this is what we do as southerners." got me thinking about moving to the south tbh. it was truly a similar vibe in ireland, seeing neighbors stop each other on the street just to chat. hospitality and loving your neighbor is something that needs to be brought back. feeling connected to those around you makes a world of difference in day-to-day life
I have a 1 year old baby boy. And when I tell you, I’ve always been “afraid” of death.. the thought of it sends me into a spiral. But after my baby boy was born, that fear multiplied by 1000000% because now that he’s here, I can’t even imagine not being on this earth with him. Forever will never seem like a long enough time with him. Dying and not existing in this world anymore terrifies me. What I leave behind or what I lack to leave behind terrifies me. And to hear you speak about it and sort of say that you have that same anxious feeling surrounding death kind of made me feel 10% better for about 3 minutes. So thank you. I think about death every single night after I put my son to bed. And I hate that I do. But I can’t help it. I love that little boy so much and the thought of one day not being with him just shatters me. I love being alive. I love living. Thank you for this podcast and thank you for listening to my rant lol.
Brittany you are just absolutely my favorite. I was born and raised as a Christian but I left the church and the religion as a whole years ago, and it’s honestly been horrifying.. to spend your whole life not being afraid of death because you’re promised a place like “heaven” to now having absolutely NO clue what happens after death… it’s been haunting me all day everyday for months now… I deeply love your talks about religion and spiritual things and such, especially since you were also Christian at some point… sometimes I have an urge to “become” a Christian again and to go to church again just so I can feel peace, but I just can’t get past all of the things that made me wanna leave in the first place… thank you Brittany
I was in the same boat as you. K-12th grade in Christian school and raised in church now I’m into spirituality rather than religion. Anyways, the book Many Lives Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss completed changed how I viewed death, the afterlife, losing loved ones etc. maybe it could help you as well!
@@abbeyachord thank you, it’s hard. I’m trying to learn everyday how to manage it and move on. I left for a lot of reasons.. I was raised in a very fear mongering, toxic way, and I was homeschooled, so I was completely and utterly isolated from the “real” world for 20 years ( wasn’t able to get a car, which meant I was able to work until my parents helped me get a car, which they kept pushing off doing ).. I only remember consistently learning about how evil and dark and horrific hell is, how “important” my virginity is and how disgusting and evil sex before marriage is (which I just genuinely never agreed with), I was taught about how I’d be beheaded one day for being a Christian long before I was taught about my period (just to put how young I was into perspective), I was constantly being shamed or belittled for having human emotions, I had clear signs of bad anxiety as a kid and my parents said I was “being spiritually attacked” so they had a pastor come to our house and pray over my bedroom with holy oil, and then just moved on as if nothing ever happened, meanwhile my anxiety only got worse because I was made to believe I was almost possessed, I was having nightmares and sleep paralysis basically every night for years, I’d try to open up to my parents about how I was struggling and they’d just belittle me, and then go on a rant about god and hell and the Bible for hours, I also never liked how Christian’s / the church viewed women.. truly, my natural core values have always always aligned with (true, real) feminism, so growing up and almost being told my only purpose as a Christian female was to be a wife and mom made me severely depressed, I’ve never had the desire for either, I’m 23 now and I still haven’t changed my mind, my dad said men typically don’t want a woman who isn’t a virgin because men want pure innocent women, which is what began to shift my view towards men as a whole in a negative way… I just never naturally felt fully in it, a lot of the rules or “laws” never made sense to me, I could never get past the incest or men having multiple wives or how young Mary supposedly was when she had Jesus and was with Joseph (I get that times were different back then but I’ll never be able to agree with it), my parents were very very hateful and close minded, they spoke so viscously about humans as a whole, anyone who they didn’t understand was immediately a bad person or going to hell, it’s one thing to be religious and “disagree” with lgbt+, but it’s another to actively hate them and try to vote against their rights as human beings, I’ve never been able to get past how forceful Christian’s seemed to be, how if you clearly weren’t a Christian, they’d speak *at* you with poison on their tongues, it seems like Christian’s want to force others to be Christian and to follow Christian rules, when that’s not at all how it works, the Bible clearly states we have the choice to follow or not and Christian’s seem to ignore that.. the list is never ending. My entire identity was lost because I was forced into this against my will, and I had the type of parents who would’ve exercised me if they found out I wasn’t a Christian anymore, I really believe they would’ve done crazy shit if they found out I wasn’t one in high school, so I always forced myself to be one, but it killed my soul in the process and I’ve completely lost sight of who I am.. since I walked away, a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. My life hasn’t changed much, I’m not someone who “isn’t Christian so I can live in sin” like my parents would say, I’m the same as I was before all around aside from I feel… better.. I feel like I can breathe now, I actually process reality better, instead of always looking to the sky, thinking and worrying about dying and going to heaven, I’ve been able to ground myself and I feel like a human being for the *first* time in my entire life.. I have newfound love for history and science, and nature.. I can’t even get in to nature, I’ll go on and on about how I view it now… it’s unreal how beautiful nature is to me now, it’s like I’m living in a completely different world and it’s so beautiful, and I’ve healed so much.. I was never a bad person, you could ask anyone, but I feel like an even better person.. I feel like there’s actually a soul in me, life behind my eyes, a spark.. I read a random quote years ago (I can’t perfectly recite it lol) but it basically said, if something is causing more pain than comfort or joy or any positive feeling, then it’s not for you, and all Christianity has done is cause me pain, and it quite literally ruined my life. I’m 100% sure I have complex PTSD, from both religion and homeschooling, I was homeschooled because of religion and homeschooling set me so far back in life.. I have so many mental health issues now, self esteem issues, I have so much to heal and recover from and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover. My life could’ve been so much better.. but yeah.. that was long lol
@@livpitcock9811 thank you so so so so so much… I’ll absolutely look into it friend, thank you.. i definitely feel like im a little into spirituality in a sense as well, but not in a specific way.. I just indulge in what makes my soul light up, I pay closer attention to things I connect with and I’ve found that I have such a deep deep love for humanity and nature and the earth and everything around me, community and people and friends and taking care of nature and animals and this beautiful earth… it’s like I lived in the dark all these years and I’m finally coming to the light… congrats on being set free, and thanks again for the recommendation ❤️🩹
as someone in the death care industry, i absolutely love when we are faced with our mortality in beautiful ways like we are in the catacombs, etc. in our western culture, we are almost never faced with mortality in ways like this! how can we be okay with death and mortality if we have no positivity surrounding it?
Brittany please if this internet career ever gets too much for you or anything PLEASE become a teacher, you are probably one of the only people I have listened too where I actually feel your intelligence pouring through and im learning/agreeing with you while at the same time laughing my fucking ass off. all jokes aside you would be a phenomenal teacher , you make things fun interesting and memorable , love u sm
When i went to the catacombs i saw so many people touching the bones but i specifically remember a guy with a backpack on who kept backing up into the bones to take pictures and his backpack just kept hitting the bones and he didnt realize or care it was so infuriating
That's awful ya'll! I always cringe, as a tourist around other tourists. I just feel compelled to profusely apologize to the locals for all the s*it behavior of others and be like, " Hey, I'm not like them. I don't even know them" and I loath them as much as you! The second-hand embarrassment and shame is real🤦♀️
When or if you come back to Ireland, don't restrict yourself to the cities. If you come to Cork or Galway, please go west! We have a trail called the wild Atlantic way which trails the west coast of Ireland because it's so picturesque(often weather dependent for some people) but each point along the trail is no less than half an hour. You could see a few in one day!
Britney, I think you would really like the book the Razor's Edge. Based in the late 1800's to early 1900's, Paris, and Chicago. It's a chill book about the everyday and the inner lifes of rich people. It also creates a beautiful picture of the way Americans were in love with Paris and the inner workings of its society. Amazing book!! you'd eat that shit UP!
some of the deepest, regrettable pain ive felt is denying myself the beauty of education. i didnt take my studies seriously until i graduated with my undergrad (i did receive an ADHD diagnosis and became medicated soon after) & that opened my eyes to the fact that knowledge is power. if i was medicated in high school and had the same passion i do now... man the BRAIN id have.
I feel this deeply, getting medicated this past year has shown me that, I wasn’t lazy or wasting my potential, my brain literally couldn’t function right enough to do it 😭 now I wanna go back and redo it
Can we have an entire Brittany Rants About Existential Situations series?? I love this. The catacombs are somewhere I've always wanted to go. I bet it's so peaceful.
100% on the cemetery thing. I visited a cemetery that has people in it who were born in the early 1800s all the way up until very recently. There was a couple who lived to old age and died within a few years of each other, and then there was a little gravestone a few feet away from theirs with their same last name for a little girl who lived to be five and a half. I think about her all the time and I think about how her parents went on to live a lifetime without her. She has never left me.
grew up in a neighborhood that had a cemetery wrapped around the side of it. the kids would ride bikes through it all day! my friends & i would try to find the funniest name. but theres also a specific little area thats a familys plot of land that has multiple gravestones for their lost children. i think i remember two that didnt even make it to 3 years old. it stuck with me as a kid.
On fixating about one grave in a graveyard, I have a story that I feel like typing and leaving somewhere: Right after I got divorced, I was having this awful time because I moved out into an apartment alone that was severely infested with roaches. I was stressed as hell, the sky was yellow from forest fires. I was miserable and friendless in a city I hated. The shitty apartment was right next to a cemetery. I refused to eat in the apartment because I didn't want to leave a single crumb for the roaches, so I would buy cold food from the supermarket and eat it in the cemetery. It was the only place nearby with trees and I could cry as much as I wanted without people thinking I was abnormal. Eventually after wandering around it a lot, I found a bench at the back that was dedicated to a 'Margaret'. The bench had pictures of cats and said she was happy to be with her angels now. I figured 'hey, she loved cats. We have something in common.' So I started eating there and telling her about my day. I would talk about my divorce and my anxiety. Eventually I got to tell her little bits of good news, like finding a therapist I could walk to, and later, that I was able to cancel the rental lease and move back to my childhood hometown. When the time came, I got to say goodbye to her. And I still think it's strange that I connected so much with someone I never knew. I wondered if ghosts were real, would she have been annoyed or enamoured with this stranger? I suppose I hoped she would have enjoyed the company. I know I certainly did. It helped me get through a really hard time. [ Thanks Margaret ]
Britney your response on the Tana situation kind of stung… this isn’t an “if” situation. Cody slept with her when she was 17 and he was 25… it’s hard lesson to learn/ accept but standing next to an illusion of someone we liked is the same as living in the past.
Thank you. So many people are missing the point. As someone who has been through a very similar situation with someone much older than me, seeing her post sunk my heart. It’s not an “if” situation. She’s not responsible for his actions but she’s definitely responsible for her words.
She legally has to say the words "if" and "alleged" or a defamation case can be brought against her. Y'all would really hate to see what the language is like for criminal cases and trial proceedings for these sorts of charges. (presumption of innocence is how things legally have to be worded. It is all alleged until a jury/judge says it isn't - regardless of personal feelings on the matter and who/what is believed). It's just language and it's language that can protect her in the future from someone who is obviously a bad person (cody). There's so much contract law that goes on behind the scenes with content creation on the scale that Brittany does it at. I truly think her wording was legal jargon rather than being a POS woman hater. If she berated him publicly and then he won a case against Tana (which would likely happen given how awful our justice system is towards survivors) he could then sue her for all ad revenue from those collab videos. Who knows if he would, but throwing in that language is a way to ensure he can't. TLDR: legal jargon is annoying but it works.
I was in England visiting family the same time as you Brittany. Let me tell you, my layover in the Paris international airport during a heat wave with no air conditioning was a level of hell I’d never experienced physically and emotionally lmao. Left my phone in a security bin because I was trying to be a good American and get through the line as fast as humanly possible. Ran back across the airport a sweaty mess and cried to the fabulously dressed and beautiful attendant who kept my phone safe for me. Mission failed, every French worker I encountered did hate me that day 😭
I’m so glad she said “ssen river” ( pronunciation) because I have heard so much about it but had no idea how to say it and king consort BROSKI is always right
I really hope she addresses the Cody Ko situation in a video. The Instagram story doesn’t feel like enough and a lot of people are taking it in the wrong way. Especially since she already said that she doesn’t want to be associated with tana, I think it would really be helpful if she can fully address this. I’m still in the broski nation army and love her, I just hope this is addressed more
I feel like she doesn’t owe us any additional commentary on the situation especially because she doesn’t know any more about it than we do, Cody hasn’t spoken on it, and she’s not directly involved in the situation
She literally has to say ‘if this is proven to be true’ for LEGAL REASONS, and because Cody still hasn’t come up with a response, or the fact she’s not involved, she can’t speak definitively. People just want to hate on her.
@@emmalee9650she doesn’t owe us anything you’re totally right. But with how she speaks up for injustices and uses her platform to make good change in the world, it seems like if this is pointed out it would be good for everyone. That no one is above being held accountable for their actions no matter their platform.
Brittany, you are a being made of pure love, and when we die, we go back to that. Back to the universe, back into stardust but completely engulfed in love. You're gonna be okay. I used to have panic attacks about death all the time but I've realized we're gonna be okay. We were the last time we died and we will be this time.
Love that. I also wonder if for some people they wanted to experience the feeling of being preoccupied or anxious about the idea of death, since this isn't really something beings experience that often elsewhere. (As far as I know). It's a fun little human thing 😂
Hey Brittany! You are wholeheartedly one of my favorite ppl on the earth. I get that your statement on instagram was protective language, but you could work with that and still say something in the lines of “if it’s true that’s disgusting and unacceptable”. While ppl are mad at you for saying “if” I think we’re all more disappointed that you didn’t address how serious the situation actually is. I urge you to PLEASE clear it up. We’re rooting for you, but we (as your supporters) also deserve to know how you want to navigate the situation. As an old fan of his I get how hard this is, but it needs to be talked about seriously, or it’ll get lost in time. 💜
@@vcj9381 cody ko basically had sex with tana when she was 17 and he was 25 right after gabbie hanna told him that tana was underaged and he should watch it meaning he fully knew.
@@vcj9381 quick summary: recently awareness has been brought on how Cody Ko was 25 and had sex with 17 year old Tana Mongeau, its knowledge thats been on the internet for a couple of years now but most people only found out about it about like this week anyway, cody ko has been filtering and hiding comments that mention it on his channel and on his subreddits and hasnt addressed it at all (still is posting on youtube tho) theres no clear evidence so everything being talked about is still considered "alleged" for legal sake i believe sooooo in her story was basically about all that
Please clear up the Cody ko stuff. As a 13 year old girl you were a huge inspiration. I just really hope I was right to look up to you. Please don’t disappoint Broski Nation like this :((
I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago (while the Olympic preparations were in full swing) and we did the catacombs, something I’ve always wanted to do. We did the audio tour, but the gravity of what I was walking through still hasn’t really set in. It was very surreal and the entire concept of the catacombs and their subsequent transformation into an attraction for the public really sent me into a huge moral quandary about humanity and how we treat the dead. I had a similar experience where I saw MYSELF in the bones and skulls in front of me, that fundamentally, there is nothing different about me to the people buried down there. I’d like to see someone do a paranormal investigation, see if we can get some answers about how these people feel about what has become of their remains, because I too was very disturbed by possibly being part of a huge disrespect of the dead. I found it horrifying that the bodies were moved underground because cemeteries were getting so overcrowded from stacking bodies on top of each other, that floods made the remains scatter across the city it was insane. The catacombs were truly fascinating. But however harrowing and profound the experience was for me, I don’t know whether I should recommend people visit it or not. I don’t think I’ll ever know whether it’s right in that it commemorates the dead and keeps the memory and importance of the French Revolution alive, or it’s a just a mass exploitation of the fallen that disturbs their deserved eternal rest
i love the way you talked about the catacombes and mortality, you put a very specific feeling into words and its just beautiful to know that im not the only one who sees places like that in such a way
Brittney! as a master’s student in cultural anthropology and anthropology of tourism, I love your take on the catacombs! It was so awesome to hear you talk so passionately, and the anthropology of death is something very interesting across all cultures like you talked about. And the fact that Neanderthals also showed that same care for the dead! Great episode! ❤
hi! Random question but did you enjoy going into anthropology, how did you find your courses and how do you find the job market coming out of it (if you’re ending with masters) because i’m in the process of choosing a major and anthropology has always seemed interesting to me! Just curious about your experience, don’t feel obligated to answer if you don’t want to but any info is greatly appreciated
@@cara7550I was literally about to ask the same thing. In the fall I’m starting my freshman year as a anthropology major because it’s fascinating but realistically besides teaching or becoming a doctor (which I’m not interested in) I’m not sure what options I have open to me.
@@cara7550 hey! ive always loved anthropology and have enjoyed all my classes! i would recommend researching universities' anth profs to see who specializes in something you're interested in and go from there since there are many types of anthropology and not every college/uni will have everything. tbh I'm not sure what career I will have but I am currently in the museum field hoping to become a cultural tourism advisor or something but that's my specific interest! i hope you find a good fit for you!!
For anyone struggling with the concept of dying, I suggest the song “Start Forgetting Death” by Adam Melchor. There’s something about it that makes me feel so put at ease. Hope you all find the joy in every little thing ♥️
Brittany you should come to Perú, we also have catacombs in a smaller scale of course and it's under a church in the center of Lima but is not always busy and you can "enjoy" the experience with a little more respect. We also have a "hunted" cementary where a lot of our national heros are buried its huge I think your mom may like them edit: I also forgot to mention it's common to make school trips to these placed I actually visited them when I was in primary school.
I know this is a month late,but I just got around to watching this but this kinda hit hard when she was talking about the catacombs and the way she was saying that it made her have the want to live the want to go out and thrive,it made my chest hurt because one of the things that drives me to live everyday is my twin sister she passed when we where born but I have always missed her I have always felt alone even with friends and family around me so I just tell myself when things get hard that I’m living a life for my twin sister a life she wasn’t able to have. Idk why I felt so strongly to comment this but hope it helps someone ❤
BRITTANYYYY! I have the quote from 36:15 tatted on my spine!!!!!! I shortened it to “I am them and that is eternity”. Words cannot describe the feeling that poem gave me.
yes I love brittany but "if they are proven to be true" is crazy and I don't think she would be saying that if Tana wasn't the victim and Codiddy Ko wasn't the perpetrator
@@mixedpeterparker9357 yeah i sort of agree but it’s easy to understand why she reacted that way, cody was close to her after all. i’m waiting for her statement and i hope she clears up what she said
People it’s a literal crime what Cody did, she could have used the word allegedly instead of “if” and framed the sentence better. But even that wouldn’t be enough for people. Everyone’s behaving like she called Tana a liar and a whore no she did not, she did condemn him while covering her base as she should from a legal standpoint.
Broski nation, I think we are witnessing her becoming a brand. It's not only the CodyKo situation, it's more than that, right? I mean I understand but I can't help feeling a little disappointed.
Someone please give Brittany a show where she gets to visit ancient places and meet different historians and stuff!! that'd be soooo freaking cool!! She would eat that up, and it'd be so educational!
26:00 i dont know about the intention of the music either but i kind of find it wonderful, and uh... meaningful to bring such merriment down to the catacombs, bringing life to such a dormant/dead place, it's like giving the souls of those cold bones warmth again, it's weirdly sweet is what i mean
36:10 reminds me of that hozier verse from the song “first time” that says “ these days I think i owe my life to flowers that were left here by my mother, ain’t that like them gifting life to you again”
Brit I love you but please rethink your Cody Ko statement . “If it’s true” is not how we need to approach something like this when it comes to SA, statutory r*pe, and taking advantage of a minor. Edit: many are missing the point. She is NOT responsible for HIS actions but she IS responsible for the words SHE says about the matter and spreading a dangerous rhetoric that causes a lot of survivors not to speak up in. Especially when they might see their fav RUclipsr not believing the victim “until it’s proven”. Lots of SA is not able to be proven. THATS what’s dangerous about this. Edit 2: yall are exactly why I didn’t speak up.
Exactly. It's giving "believe all victims unless it's my friend" She loves to yap about feminism but doesn't walk the talk. Sad to see she is not a girl's girl. I don't even care or liked tana but a victim is a victim regardless if she comes thinks she was one or not. The fact cody was still best of friends with a known CONVICTED rapist, he himself being a rapist, and she still has the GALL to say "if" girl, please. Tana's story never changed. Why would she even make that shit up if gains nothing from telling people what happened to her for years.
Why are you coming here getting mad at her for something she had nothing to do with lol. She has to say “if it’s true” for legal reasons. He hasn’t been proven guilty by law and if she flat out says he’s guilty she could get sued for defamation. Think with your head before you speak fr.
@@andielx are you her lawyer? Saying “if it’s proven true” is feeding into the rhetoric of not believing victims. I get you love her, I do too, but we can be disappointed by what she said. It may not seem like a big deal to you but for someone who is a survivor of SA by someone much older than me and not being believed, this hurts to see her say.
@@andielxfr. that’s like being expected to be responsible for anything your friend does wrong, like they’re both grown adults and separate people. why does she need to take responsibility for HIS actions? it’s weird
Hi Britney! I love you but we gotta talk about how you’ll collab with Cody Ko and not with Tana especially after she addressed her past with Cody Ko. I Love Cody Ko! It was so heartbreaking to hear what she had to say in her podcast. She addresses how difficult it to be a victim of someone who is extremely loved in the public eye and it really made think to take a step back in watching his videos. Knowing that you won’t collaborate with Tana over “controversies” but will collab with Cody makes me feel icky. I love you as a creator and hope that maybe you can talk about your opinion on the matter.
she loves to pretend she’s for women empowerment until one of her male friends are being accused of sexual assault. like “believe victims” until it’s one of your friends i guess. so weird
How would she not collaborate with Cody and instead choose Tana if she was unaware (as all of us were) of these allegations? The Cody ko issue is really upsetting and sucks to hear about. I personally unsubscribed from him and will no longer watch his videos. But why are we holding Brittany accountable for his actions? I bet you haven’t gone to his cohosts page to wonder why he hasn’t spoken out about him? Or other people that have collaborated with him?
@@kimwatchesthingsand have you gone to Cody’s “male friends” pages disturbed about how they responded to the situation?? Or are we just focusing on Brittany because she is a woman and we have to find a ways to drag them for men’s actions
brittany's views on mortality always help me cope with my existential thoughts :) it's really refreshing and honestly calming to hear someone talk about death so openly and in such a beautiful way
Gorgeous reflection on the catacombs. I went there while living in Paris last year. it reminded me of a galaxy. If you have ever seriously contemplated the scale of the universe and us as just a breath in all of that space and time, that is how the catacombs made me feel. It felt very peaceful. There are also famous people down there, like Robespierre, but we don't know which remains are his - he is just dissolved into the mass of bones. It makes me think of Ps 103 (the sentiment applies regardless of religious belief): "As for mortals, their days are like grass; they flourish like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more." To me those lines are very touching, not sad.
Brittany this is one of your best episodes truly. I loved the catacombs yap and all of it. I truly prefer the episodes where you’re sober and more serious talking about your personal philosophies. Amazing love u ❤
There's a cemetery here in Atlanta that has a sign at the gates that is something to the tune of, "Tread respectfully, because as you are now, so we once were. And as we are now, so you one day shall be." I tell you that shit chills my heart 😅
Brittany this feels like a really silly comment but.. this talk about death was so important to me and came at a really crucial time where I have just been having a very hard time with death. To review it and feel it like you did was really nice and helped my own mind kickstart healthier and more awe-some ways to speak about even my own death
she said in an ig post that she found it to be disgusting. but she used the phrase “if proven to be true” which was most likely used as at the time nothing was entirely proven (no idea when she posted it because i don’t actually have ig so don’t come for me if this is incorrect) or to prevent a defamation case to be brought to her. on top of this, d’angelo (a youtuber who was one of the first if not the first people other than tana herself to talk about the situation) used similar language and is not getting the same hate as her. she has given her opinion, and that is that she thinks it’s a disgusting situation.
Hey brittany, if you're not already aware of her, i think you would really like Caitlyn Doughty's work (Ask a Mortician on yt) she has 3 books and a number of youtube videos all about the death industry and all things related. Reading her books really helped me in my understanding of death and seeing other ways to celebrate and honor the dead, it's definitely worth checking out
At 32:00 when she’s talking about death being the equal to all of us she reminded me of the poem death the leveller by James Shirley. James poem talks about how death equalises us all and he does it so beautifully
Brittany I am begging you to make another art history video on your main channel. I love them so much. The music, the visuals, your commentary. It makes the learning fun😊
Ngl lie Britney, I 100% love your vids. But you owe Tana an apology, “if it’s proven to be true” is just really vile coming from someone who makes it a point to be up to date on current issues in the influencer space. Damn girl I was rooting for you to hold your bro accountable.
im pretty sure she was just using proper pr language as instructed by her management team in order to not get sued, bc tbh, cody seems like the time to sue someone for defamation to me. but i can also see how this may feel dismissive or discrediting to tana.
@@Kiwitime72 there’s been a lot wrong with how she’s been acting towards Tana, even from the whole “my fans would ___ if I came on your podcast”, but she’ll take pics and go to parties with her? Very fake behavior.
Hey Supreme Leader! Imma need you to rethink and retry the statement on the Codiddy Ko situation. Your first statement was ignorant of all of the facts, and it was disappointing as a citizen of Broski Nation. I love you and Tana and think you two would be and ICONIC duo, and it's upsetting to see you not validate her. I know you're a girl's girl deep down so please act like it. I love you and hope you make things right. Also PLEASE go on the cancelled podcast it's all I've ever wanted in life.
the catacombs part really got me. as your average human i as well have struggled with my mortality and i always found some weird enjoyment in visiting places related with death. that’s why i recommend everyone, if they ever will get the opportunity to visit Poland or be close enough to it, i strongly suggest visiting Austchwiz-Birkenau. It not only touches on the devistating history of the Jews and Polish people but also touches on the topic of death while having some excellent tour guides. They have tours available in a lot of languages so it’s very accessible. I strongly recommend giving it a go if you’ll ever have a chance.
The convo about the catacombs is such a vibe. Got me googling the little phrases. Googled looking for the carved in phrases - lots were just listing where the bodies were moved from and when. But I found 2: "Remember your creator in the days of your youth before the time of trouble comes" "Memento creatoris tui diebus juventutis ture antequam viniat tempas afflictionis" "Thus everything passes on earth. Spirit, beauty, graces, talent. Such is an ephemeral flower. Let the slightest wind overturn."
im a student nurse and have had patients die that led me into existential crises. once, a woman died and i went to the thrift store after my shift with my bf. i walked away from him and started staring at the mugs, how am i shopping after someones entire life just ceased? how am i supposed to go home and continue when i met someone who did not? death is all around us unfortunately, but i choose to not let it make me panic. instead, i thought of her while looking at the mugs. i thought, “i bet shed love to be looking at mugs right now” so i bought one. and it reminds me of her still. no one came to the hospital when she died, but i was there, and somehow her memory continues on with me when i drink my coffee from my black and turquoise mug. ❤️❤️ humans rule
@@mb-xx7tv its 6 am im studying for an exam in social work and you just made me ugly cry on my “law for social workers” book. ISTG i chose to get into the social work field because you can leave such an impact on people’s lives, but sometimes there’s simply nothing you can do. sometimes the situation is too complicated, sometimes the Law is simply not enough, sometimes the world is unfair, sometimes the person is too far gone. What do you do, then? What choice do you have? How can you let it “not get to you”? The answer is, you dont. you let it get to you. if you turn off your humanity and your empathy, you can bid farewell to the only principle your entire socio-sanitary profession is based on, the only thing that makes all your hard work worth something. Thanks for sharing your story, and sorry for my bad english - i havent slept and i wrote this reply with tears streaming down my face lol. i’m so in love with humans.
no one talks enough about how much youre constantly faced with mortality at a young age as a healthcare student/worker and how that affects us! i think about all the patients i’ve seen often and even just cases that i’ve learned about. it’s just so hard to put into words the anxiety, but gratitude for life , but feelings of existential dread , hurt for patients and their families but also wanting this career like nothing else. it’s hard to come to terms with at times. the lifestyle i dreamt about and chose is exactly what i wanted but also just that intense feeling thats always around of all the knowledge you have and things youve seen happen that you don’t really ever get to talk about.
God and Jesus love you
@@anacaylen6509I have visited ER's many many times, and I am always in such admiration of how the workers are so wise, intelligent, strong, and kind. You guys are special humans fr. Angels on earth. Thank you so much for being you!!
Idk if you’re spiritual or not, but if I died and no one came to visit me, but the nurse who took care of me still remembers me and buys a little thing I thought I would like, I’d feel good. I’d watch over em.

She is so deep in her thoughts & I fall further & further into Broski-Nation with every video I binge

Brittany saying the catacombs put her life into context made me think of kamala harris saying “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?! You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you” in such a poetic way 😭😭
no i really thought she was about to quote it 😭
BWAHAHAHAH
I was thinking about this Kamala quote the whole time
YES YES THIS IS MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER
No, stop, I was thinking Kamala!!!!
4 months after my mom died, I happened to be in Paris and decided to visit the catacombs by myself one day. Cemeteries had always been a comforting place for me but this particular experience brought so much peace and clarity about just how much company there is in death. My mother may have left this world behind, but I know that she isn't alone in the least, and those walls of bones helped me understand more than any counseling or therapy ever could.
My mom knew more than anyone that I had been dreaming of going to France my entire life. I was devastated when she couldn't be there to see me live out that dream, but I like to think she was still there, settling in with the bones and embracing this new reality in tandem with myself.
This is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read, my deepest condolences ❤❤
you are an incredible writer ❤️❤️
Re catacombs, as someone who lives there: there's a LOT of ways to get down, and a some people make it a sort of life style: they find entries, they explore, they map the parts that are closed to the public. There's a lot of parties down there, so the dead still get to listen to music! One last thing: the most dangerous thing down there is the water. It rains a lot here, in the "unkept" parts, water can accumulated fast. And it carries whatever the rats didn't eat. Don't touch the water.
And by "there" I mean "Paris", not "underground" lol
My thoughts about it were how nice it is if you're just sitting there for eternity to break up the monotony / silence with music and parties! I would feel like it would be uplifting to see that from the afterlife
the transition from: "from my rotting body, flowers shall grow and i am them and that is eternity"
to
"YALL GOT A MCBAGUETTE???🗣️📣"
is really the broski nation diversity.
"Spray shit like a fire hose" was a wild transition hahahahha
i love that poem and it makes me cry, so i was sobbing and heard “MCBAGUETTE” 😞😞
girlie here's the translation of the quotes from a native french speaker. first, the one on the frame leading to one of the many pathways, "QUOCUMQUE INGREDERIS SEQUITUR MORS CORPORIS UMBRA" means "wherever you go, death follows, (as) a body's shadow". second, on a sign imbedded in the stacked bones that's actually written in "Pensée des morts" by a great french writer, Alphonse de Lamartine, there's
"Ils furent ce que nous sommes.
Poussière, jouet du vent;
Fragiles comme des hommes.
Faible comme le néant!"
and that means:
"They were as we are
Dust, the wind's plaything
Fragile as men
Feeble as the void".
NOW, this on makes me sick because the existential crisis is real, it's by Malfiatre,
"Insensés: nous parlons en maîtres,
Nous qui dans l'océan des êtres
Nageons tristement confondus;
Nous dont l'existence légère,
Pareille à l'ombre passagère
Commence, paraît et n'est plus."
Meaning, "Fools: we speak from authority,
We who in the ocean of beings
Swim sadly muddled,
We whose gossamer existence,
Like the passing shadow,
Begins, appears, and is gone"
Next, we got "Quelle est la Mort? toujours future ou passé Apeine est-elle présente, que déjà elle n'est plus. meaning “Where is Death? always future or past No sooner is she present than she is no more”.
This one holds so much meaning, I almost just stacked myself with the bones, "SICUT, UNDA DIES NOSTRI FLUXERUN" means "Our days flowed like water". Then we got,
"Ainsi tout passe sur la terre
Esprit, beauté, grâces, talent
Telle est une fleur éphémère
Que renverse le moindre vent." which means:
"So all things pass upon the earth
Spirit, beauty, grace, talent
Ephemeral as a flower
Tossed by the slightest breeze"
FINALLY, there's the one by Antoine-Marin Lemierre that says,
"Quels enclos sont ouverts! quelles étroites places
Occupe entre ces murs la poussière des races
C'est dans ces lieux d'oubli, C'est parmis ces tombeaux
Que de morts entassés et presses sous la terre!
Le nombre ici n'est rien la foule est solitaire." meaning:
"What enclosures are open! What narrow spaces
Between these walls hold the dust of races!
It is in these places of oblivion, it is among these tombs
That time and death come to cross their scythes.
So many dead piled and pressed under the Earth!
Numbers here mean nothing; the crowd is lonely."
There you go, hope this helps with your crisis supreme leader because it sure as hell made mine worse!!!

you said it when u were talking abt the catacombs, but honestly some people need to have their children on leashes because what do u mean you’re just letting timmy run free and touch and lick on these bones? like that’s the parents fault, this is a historic site control your kid
Seriously like I have a 5 year old and he's pretty well behaved and respectful for his age, and he would still be leashed, stroller, carried, SOMETHING. It's a historic memorial with literal human remains?? Im all for kids being included in traveling and learning like this, but if you as a parent can't keep them under control in an appropriate way, then wait until they're older or don't take them

@@senwest1995 😂 thanks
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF
i actually think cemetaries and memorial gardens and things like that used to be communal places. People would walk and hang out and read and stuff, because the ideas and belieefs around death have changed so drastically in the last century give or take? so I think holding concerts and doing tours and stuff in the catacombs isn't disrespectful, its a way to connect with our own mortality and humanity.
The catacombs are actually kind of amazing for this reason. Not just the bones but you can read all this writing people wrote to make sense of having 1/3 of the population die. There was almost a sort of reverence for death, like spiritual. Really incredible.
yes they preceded parks. people hung out there to get a view of greenery
Beautiful take on this! I want to hear you on an open mic in a cemetery now
I totally agree! Also this is just my own opinion but I like to think that those bones have been there for so long that any lingering spirits have now moved on and are resting. Theres an eastern belief that if someone died “before their time” their spirits can (if they want to) remain on earth until their natural life would have ended then they move on.
I honestly think it gets disrespectful because the catacombs are DANGEROUS. Parts start deteriorating and collapsing. If people stopped going it would slow down the process
I could’ve listened to this for nine days straight!!!! Brittany needs a history podcast. Imagine her interviewing experts and asking questions?? That would be amazing
Imagine the information we could potentially seal into our brain flaps
No literally i need this
it would be Cunk-on-Earth-level entertainment OMGGG

I could listen to Brittany talk about history for the rest of my life and never get tired of it
The bubonic plague lasted from the 14th to the 18th century. It was horrific, horrible awful. I did my final senior project in high school on it and I learned so much terrible sad shit and then I graduated and a year later my sister tested positive for the bubonic plague, she had a bone infection that almost killed her, how wild how crazy is that? I’ve been enthralled by this point in history for as long as I can remember, that is just so devastating so sad and that happens.😳… it’s just wild life is wild she lived of course but it was just Crazy!!
the whole section about the catacombs spoke to me so much because like what do you mean one day im going to be nothing but dust???? but the again theres a feeling of comfort in that fact that no matter what we all go back to being nothing again like we were before we were born, what once you were, you will be again which is a crazy fucking concept
I go back and forth between being comforted by that and then having sleepless nights of existential dread over the fear of it. There is no in between 😂
as much as the thought of eternity terrifies me I’ve always been strangely comforted by the law of conservation of mass… matter cannot be created or destroyed. Every part of me has existed, and every part of me will continue to exist
genesis 3:19 "For dust you are, and to dust you shall return" one of my favorite bible quotes ever
@@oflynn_flowerchild1412im not religious and love that part of the bible LMAO its quite poetic
stop it. why am i tearing up from her talking about Caleb?! i don’t even know either of these people personally. friendship is just so so important and moves my soul.
it hurts that im not friends with them
i will never not deeply appreciate the vulnerable analyses of history, death, life and art on this podcast. it truly touches something spiritually inside of me. or perhaps i'm a little high. i think it's both though. much love.
this literally brought me to tears. brittany is such a beautiful person with such an introspective mind and i literally feel so lucky to be able to experience the portion of herself that she chooses to share with us. i’m only 15 but i rlly look up to her and the duality of her personality how she is absolutely hilarious and also so exceptionally smart like omg i wanna be her
Not her having her “you exist in the context of all in which you lived and what came before you” moment
As a biologist, when thinking about what makes us human, I always go back to "we burry our dead". Almost all animals just suck it up or dont really understand death, but we make so much effort for our dead and that is so much of who we are as a species.
I think its so interesting that THAT is what separates us as a species bc in some cultures, people don't bury their dead, but the effort to make their death mean something and to put them at peace is still there. In some Indigenous cultures of Canada and the US, a tradition is to put their dead high up in trees so that their spirit can escape easier from their body. Its still the same concept, humans make death mean something somehow, no matter if it is comfort for the dead or the living.
Um, actually lots of birds and mammals do mourn and e.g. revisit their cemetaries. They don't preserve the bodies or the grave sites in the way that we do (to be easily noticalble for you), but that doesn't mean they don't remember their dead.
A lot of social animals have culture.
Life is so precious to us because of the long childhood development and what it takes to take care of a child. But thats also the case for other animals like bats.
It's easy to just ignore the complexity of social structures and culture in other animals (and it's a handy excuse) but if you start looking for similarities (not the differences) in their lives and non-human forms of expression of culture you'll notice there's a lot.
@@elaleinchen86 This exactly. I'm a cultural anthropologist and a big part of what we study is "what makes us human"; or, more precisely, "what separates us from other species." The answer is that we are more similar to animals than many of us think. Everything we learn about ourselves only brings us closer to nature. I think this is part of why social media feels like such a curse sometimes; we separate ourselves FROM ourselves just to live an alternate life that can be deleted with one flick of a switch. Social media is not an experience, it takes AWAY from experiences.
The simple answer is, what separates us from other animals is our ability to conceptualize the future. It is because we can imagine events that may not happen (or did not happen), we are human. We imagine ourselves living grand on a random website where nobody can truly feel who we are. We don't really know anyone online. We only have our imagination of who they could be. That's what makes humans different.
I love how you explain things. As a kid i struggled at learning.. But the way you explain with like emotion and ur use of hand gestures really help me stay focused. LIKE NOW I KNOW THE LORE OF THE CATACOMBS (idk how to spell it)
u spelled it right :)
the notre dame thing really is crazy when you think about how that money could’ve also gone to a place like haiti, a country whose people are still absolutely ravaged by and feeling the effects of french colonization literal CENTURIES later…it is really is a sight to behold
I’m a barista from Germany and the other day I had Americans who wanted an iced latte with Carmel, usually I put 3 pumps caramel syrup in for a large. They wanted it sweeter, no problem. So I put in 2 more. Nope, not enough, sweeter. Okay, 2 more. Nope, still not enough. Then the mom said, “I’ll tell you when, we’re Americans we’re used to everything being very very sweet” and then she laughed. When I tell you I put in about 25 pumps of caramel syrup in, girl. We both laughed so hard
I think American food products just have more sugar in general so those 25 were probably 7 pumps here in America 😅
@@thewizstudentyeah you’re probably right haha
been dealing with my uncle's recent death, being reminded of my own mortality and the ones i care about. your words on the catacombs helped shed some light on me and my experience and the fact we all will die and have to bury our loved ones in our lifetime. even in death, we shall prosper for the earth and the ones we live for
This came at the perfect time. I was taking to my friend yesterday about death/mortality and overall it ended with me saying “I can’t wait to die” and my friend went “yeah, I will see you again someday” and FOR SOME REASON- that was the most comforting response to ever hear❤ so happy you had an amazing time on your trip ~
that is so beautiful. friends are so beautiful.
Dude the Irish bus tour guys are the funniest comedians on the planet. The bus tour guide to the Cliffs of Moher was the funniest guy I ever met, I was genuinely sad to leave him when the tour was over
damn n here i thought it was a skip. must be the only god bus tour on earth lol
Yess I had the BEST Irish bus tour guide named Kevin and he was so awesome. He could be so funny but he could also be so serious like he got people tearing up about the famine and he cried too and the next moment he was cracking jokes again. Love Kevin 🫶🫶
My cliffs tour guide was also the best I had on my trip. Played Hozier and everything
Hearing tour guides doing their thing passing by as I’m just out and about is really funny.
Loved hearing your thoughts on the catacombs. I visited them in 2015 and really knew nothing about them and was truly astounded. I think I was mostly impacted by the sheer numbers of lives we were seeing remnants of and I kept thinking it felt like a library. Instead of books it was bones but each carried a story. It’s one of my favorite places I visited in Europe
LOVED ireland!!! i saw those little viking cars in dublin lol.
had lunch with some southerners the other day. i showed up to the restaurant alone and they invited me to eat with them. they were in az, where i live, on a work trip from mississippi, and they treated me like family. shared food and everything, and said, "this is what we do as southerners." got me thinking about moving to the south tbh. it was truly a similar vibe in ireland, seeing neighbors stop each other on the street just to chat. hospitality and loving your neighbor is something that needs to be brought back. feeling connected to those around you makes a world of difference in day-to-day life
I have a 1 year old baby boy. And when I tell you, I’ve always been “afraid” of death.. the thought of it sends me into a spiral. But after my baby boy was born, that fear multiplied by 1000000% because now that he’s here, I can’t even imagine not being on this earth with him. Forever will never seem like a long enough time with him.
Dying and not existing in this world anymore terrifies me. What I leave behind or what I lack to leave behind terrifies me. And to hear you speak about it and sort of say that you have that same anxious feeling surrounding death kind of made me feel 10% better for about 3 minutes. So thank you.
I think about death every single night after I put my son to bed. And I hate that I do. But I can’t help it. I love that little boy so much and the thought of one day not being with him just shatters me. I love being alive. I love living.
Thank you for this podcast and thank you for listening to my rant lol.
Brittany you are just absolutely my favorite. I was born and raised as a Christian but I left the church and the religion as a whole years ago, and it’s honestly been horrifying.. to spend your whole life not being afraid of death because you’re promised a place like “heaven” to now having absolutely NO clue what happens after death… it’s been haunting me all day everyday for months now… I deeply love your talks about religion and spiritual things and such, especially since you were also Christian at some point… sometimes I have an urge to “become” a Christian again and to go to church again just so I can feel peace, but I just can’t get past all of the things that made me wanna leave in the first place… thank you Brittany
What are the reasons you left? Also, I’m sorry you’re going through this genuine fear 💔
I was in the same boat as you. K-12th grade in Christian school and raised in church now I’m into spirituality rather than religion. Anyways, the book Many Lives Many Masters by Dr Brian Weiss completed changed how I viewed death, the afterlife, losing loved ones etc. maybe it could help you as well!
@@abbeyachord thank you, it’s hard. I’m trying to learn everyday how to manage it and move on. I left for a lot of reasons.. I was raised in a very fear mongering, toxic way, and I was homeschooled, so I was completely and utterly isolated from the “real” world for 20 years ( wasn’t able to get a car, which meant I was able to work until my parents helped me get a car, which they kept pushing off doing ).. I only remember consistently learning about how evil and dark and horrific hell is, how “important” my virginity is and how disgusting and evil sex before marriage is (which I just genuinely never agreed with), I was taught about how I’d be beheaded one day for being a Christian long before I was taught about my period (just to put how young I was into perspective), I was constantly being shamed or belittled for having human emotions, I had clear signs of bad anxiety as a kid and my parents said I was “being spiritually attacked” so they had a pastor come to our house and pray over my bedroom with holy oil, and then just moved on as if nothing ever happened, meanwhile my anxiety only got worse because I was made to believe I was almost possessed, I was having nightmares and sleep paralysis basically every night for years, I’d try to open up to my parents about how I was struggling and they’d just belittle me, and then go on a rant about god and hell and the Bible for hours, I also never liked how Christian’s / the church viewed women.. truly, my natural core values have always always aligned with (true, real) feminism, so growing up and almost being told my only purpose as a Christian female was to be a wife and mom made me severely depressed, I’ve never had the desire for either, I’m 23 now and I still haven’t changed my mind, my dad said men typically don’t want a woman who isn’t a virgin because men want pure innocent women, which is what began to shift my view towards men as a whole in a negative way… I just never naturally felt fully in it, a lot of the rules or “laws” never made sense to me, I could never get past the incest or men having multiple wives or how young Mary supposedly was when she had Jesus and was with Joseph (I get that times were different back then but I’ll never be able to agree with it), my parents were very very hateful and close minded, they spoke so viscously about humans as a whole, anyone who they didn’t understand was immediately a bad person or going to hell, it’s one thing to be religious and “disagree” with lgbt+, but it’s another to actively hate them and try to vote against their rights as human beings, I’ve never been able to get past how forceful Christian’s seemed to be, how if you clearly weren’t a Christian, they’d speak *at* you with poison on their tongues, it seems like Christian’s want to force others to be Christian and to follow Christian rules, when that’s not at all how it works, the Bible clearly states we have the choice to follow or not and Christian’s seem to ignore that.. the list is never ending. My entire identity was lost because I was forced into this against my will, and I had the type of parents who would’ve exercised me if they found out I wasn’t a Christian anymore, I really believe they would’ve done crazy shit if they found out I wasn’t one in high school, so I always forced myself to be one, but it killed my soul in the process and I’ve completely lost sight of who I am.. since I walked away, a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. My life hasn’t changed much, I’m not someone who “isn’t Christian so I can live in sin” like my parents would say, I’m the same as I was before all around aside from I feel… better.. I feel like I can breathe now, I actually process reality better, instead of always looking to the sky, thinking and worrying about dying and going to heaven, I’ve been able to ground myself and I feel like a human being for the *first* time in my entire life.. I have newfound love for history and science, and nature.. I can’t even get in to nature, I’ll go on and on about how I view it now… it’s unreal how beautiful nature is to me now, it’s like I’m living in a completely different world and it’s so beautiful, and I’ve healed so much.. I was never a bad person, you could ask anyone, but I feel like an even better person.. I feel like there’s actually a soul in me, life behind my eyes, a spark.. I read a random quote years ago (I can’t perfectly recite it lol) but it basically said, if something is causing more pain than comfort or joy or any positive feeling, then it’s not for you, and all Christianity has done is cause me pain, and it quite literally ruined my life. I’m 100% sure I have complex PTSD, from both religion and homeschooling, I was homeschooled because of religion and homeschooling set me so far back in life.. I have so many mental health issues now, self esteem issues, I have so much to heal and recover from and I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover. My life could’ve been so much better.. but yeah.. that was long lol
@@livpitcock9811 thank you so so so so so much… I’ll absolutely look into it friend, thank you.. i definitely feel like im a little into spirituality in a sense as well, but not in a specific way.. I just indulge in what makes my soul light up, I pay closer attention to things I connect with and I’ve found that I have such a deep deep love for humanity and nature and the earth and everything around me, community and people and friends and taking care of nature and animals and this beautiful earth… it’s like I lived in the dark all these years and I’m finally coming to the light… congrats on being set free, and thanks again for the recommendation ❤️🩹
"Ooolaayyyy olay olayyyy" we all sing in unison
I was in my French class when Notre Dame caught fire and we had to escort our teacher to the nurse’s office 😭
Edit: She is American
She real af😭🙏
My French teacher cried so I feel
the edit 😭😭
I was in undergrad during a sociology class. We couldn’t do anything except watch it.
i was in french class too!!! such a crazy day
as someone in the death care industry, i absolutely love when we are faced with our mortality in beautiful ways like we are in the catacombs, etc. in our western culture, we are almost never faced with mortality in ways like this! how can we be okay with death and mortality if we have no positivity surrounding it?
Brittany please if this internet career ever gets too much for you or anything PLEASE become a teacher, you are probably one of the only people I have listened too where I actually feel your intelligence pouring through and im learning/agreeing with you while at the same time laughing my fucking ass off. all jokes aside you would be a phenomenal teacher , you make things fun interesting and memorable , love u sm
When i went to the catacombs i saw so many people touching the bones but i specifically remember a guy with a backpack on who kept backing up into the bones to take pictures and his backpack just kept hitting the bones and he didnt realize or care it was so infuriating
when i went there were multiple skulls with penises or other graffiti on them. i was like do yall think these are fake or something??? 😭😭
That's awful ya'll!
I always cringe, as a tourist around other tourists.
I just feel compelled to profusely apologize to the locals for all the s*it behavior of others and be like, " Hey, I'm not like them. I don't even know them" and I loath them as much as you! The second-hand embarrassment and shame is real🤦♀️
I felt something stir in my spirit… so I knew it must be time 🤲🙇
😂😂 but same
aka i got the youtube notifications
I love how the quote Brittany wants to tattoo is literally an emo tumblr quote i used to reblog ahahaha

When or if you come back to Ireland, don't restrict yourself to the cities. If you come to Cork or Galway, please go west! We have a trail called the wild Atlantic way which trails the west coast of Ireland because it's so picturesque(often weather dependent for some people) but each point along the trail is no less than half an hour. You could see a few in one day!
Britney, I think you would really like the book the Razor's Edge. Based in the late 1800's to early 1900's, Paris, and Chicago. It's a chill book about the everyday and the inner lifes of rich people. It also creates a beautiful picture of the way Americans were in love with Paris and the inner workings of its society. Amazing book!! you'd eat that shit UP!
i’m going to read this, thank you!
@@Marleyayehell yeah brother 🫶Enjoy!!
Adding to my want to read list on goodreads 🫡😂
some of the deepest, regrettable pain ive felt is denying myself the beauty of education. i didnt take my studies seriously until i graduated with my undergrad (i did receive an ADHD diagnosis and became medicated soon after) & that opened my eyes to the fact that knowledge is power. if i was medicated in high school and had the same passion i do now... man the BRAIN id have.
You can still learn every day. Especially with the Internet. Literally anything you could ever want to know is at your fingertips. ❤
I feel this deeply, getting medicated this past year has shown me that, I wasn’t lazy or wasting my potential, my brain literally couldn’t function right enough to do it 😭 now I wanna go back and redo it
I feel your pain. Same sitch. On the plus side, learning is a lifelong joy.
Best wishes in your endeavors ! :)
@@Amazinglexi3you can!!!!!!!
When your bestie comes back from her trip and you listen to her stories all giddy, and eating snacks with a glass of wine, thats how i feel rn 🤪🥰
Yeah I'm deading the comments and I don't think I'm in the right mental space to watch this week's episode
You discussing art, history and just cultures in general makes me want to learn again. I love hearing your thoughts on these topics.
Can we have an entire Brittany Rants About Existential Situations series?? I love this. The catacombs are somewhere I've always wanted to go. I bet it's so peaceful.
100% on the cemetery thing. I visited a cemetery that has people in it who were born in the early 1800s all the way up until very recently. There was a couple who lived to old age and died within a few years of each other, and then there was a little gravestone a few feet away from theirs with their same last name for a little girl who lived to be five and a half. I think about her all the time and I think about how her parents went on to live a lifetime without her. She has never left me.
grew up in a neighborhood that had a cemetery wrapped around the side of it. the kids would ride bikes through it all day! my friends & i would try to find the funniest name. but theres also a specific little area thats a familys plot of land that has multiple gravestones for their lost children. i think i remember two that didnt even make it to 3 years old. it stuck with me as a kid.
@@vialikescats that’s so sweet ♥️ if they’re out there somewhere I think that would matter a lot to them.
That catacombs quote of equality reminds me of Les miserables where they sing “everyone’s equal when they’re dead” which is such a chilling line.
On fixating about one grave in a graveyard, I have a story that I feel like typing and leaving somewhere:
Right after I got divorced, I was having this awful time because I moved out into an apartment alone that was severely infested with roaches. I was stressed as hell, the sky was yellow from forest fires. I was miserable and friendless in a city I hated.
The shitty apartment was right next to a cemetery. I refused to eat in the apartment because I didn't want to leave a single crumb for the roaches, so I would buy cold food from the supermarket and eat it in the cemetery. It was the only place nearby with trees and I could cry as much as I wanted without people thinking I was abnormal.
Eventually after wandering around it a lot, I found a bench at the back that was dedicated to a 'Margaret'. The bench had pictures of cats and said she was happy to be with her angels now. I figured 'hey, she loved cats. We have something in common.' So I started eating there and telling her about my day. I would talk about my divorce and my anxiety. Eventually I got to tell her little bits of good news, like finding a therapist I could walk to, and later, that I was able to cancel the rental lease and move back to my childhood hometown. When the time came, I got to say goodbye to her.
And I still think it's strange that I connected so much with someone I never knew. I wondered if ghosts were real, would she have been annoyed or enamoured with this stranger? I suppose I hoped she would have enjoyed the company. I know I certainly did. It helped me get through a really hard time. [ Thanks Margaret ]
Britney your response on the Tana situation kind of stung… this isn’t an “if” situation. Cody slept with her when she was 17 and he was 25… it’s hard lesson to learn/ accept but standing next to an illusion of someone we liked is the same as living in the past.
Thank you. So many people are missing the point. As someone who has been through a very similar situation with someone much older than me, seeing her post sunk my heart. It’s not an “if” situation. She’s not responsible for his actions but she’s definitely responsible for her words.
I think she just worded it that way to protect herself. If she didn’t care she wouldn’t have said anything
this is the only comment about this that hasn't been deleted...
@@anonymous-25u There is no if. There are witnesses who told him she was 17 and he did it anyways.
She legally has to say the words "if" and "alleged" or a defamation case can be brought against her. Y'all would really hate to see what the language is like for criminal cases and trial proceedings for these sorts of charges. (presumption of innocence is how things legally have to be worded. It is all alleged until a jury/judge says it isn't - regardless of personal feelings on the matter and who/what is believed). It's just language and it's language that can protect her in the future from someone who is obviously a bad person (cody). There's so much contract law that goes on behind the scenes with content creation on the scale that Brittany does it at. I truly think her wording was legal jargon rather than being a POS woman hater. If she berated him publicly and then he won a case against Tana (which would likely happen given how awful our justice system is towards survivors) he could then sue her for all ad revenue from those collab videos. Who knows if he would, but throwing in that language is a way to ensure he can't.
TLDR: legal jargon is annoying but it works.
I was in England visiting family the same time as you Brittany. Let me tell you, my layover in the Paris international airport during a heat wave with no air conditioning was a level of hell I’d never experienced physically and emotionally lmao. Left my phone in a security bin because I was trying to be a good
American and get through the line as fast as humanly possible. Ran back across the airport a sweaty mess and cried to the fabulously dressed and beautiful attendant who kept my phone safe for me. Mission failed, every French worker I encountered did hate me that day 😭
Good lord, what a nightmare!
Missed you last week but so glad you got a vacation. Letssss goooooo 💞💞💞
I actually missed your podcast 😔😔 it’s a staple for my week
Literally, i was in shambles last week when there was no episode 😔
My hand were on the wheel so consistently that my insurance premiums went down 😔
I’m so glad she said “ssen river” ( pronunciation) because I have heard so much about it but had no idea how to say it and king consort BROSKI is always right
I really hope she addresses the Cody Ko situation in a video. The Instagram story doesn’t feel like enough and a lot of people are taking it in the wrong way. Especially since she already said that she doesn’t want to be associated with tana, I think it would really be helpful if she can fully address this. I’m still in the broski nation army and love her, I just hope this is addressed more
nobody’s taking it the wrong way. brittany is well spoken. she meant what she said
I feel like she doesn’t owe us any additional commentary on the situation especially because she doesn’t know any more about it than we do, Cody hasn’t spoken on it, and she’s not directly involved in the situation
She literally has to say ‘if this is proven to be true’ for LEGAL REASONS, and because Cody still hasn’t come up with a response, or the fact she’s not involved, she can’t speak definitively. People just want to hate on her.
How about we get mad at the person who’s not responding aka Cody
@@emmalee9650she doesn’t owe us anything you’re totally right. But with how she speaks up for injustices and uses her platform to make good change in the world, it seems like if this is pointed out it would be good for everyone. That no one is above being held accountable for their actions no matter their platform.
6:17 lollll wait until u find out the next summer olympics are happening in LA
Brittany, you are a being made of pure love, and when we die, we go back to that. Back to the universe, back into stardust but completely engulfed in love. You're gonna be okay. I used to have panic attacks about death all the time but I've realized we're gonna be okay. We were the last time we died and we will be this time.
Well said 👏🏼
Love that. I also wonder if for some people they wanted to experience the feeling of being preoccupied or anxious about the idea of death, since this isn't really something beings experience that often elsewhere. (As far as I know). It's a fun little human thing 😂
"They hate Americans which I get because I am American" this is what Europeans don't realize like, girly we know we don't wanna be like this either 😭
❕❕❕
No we realise, it just doesn’t make it the first statement not true
Hey Brittany! You are wholeheartedly one of my favorite ppl on the earth. I get that your statement on instagram was protective language, but you could work with that and still say something in the lines of “if it’s true that’s disgusting and unacceptable”. While ppl are mad at you for saying “if” I think we’re all more disappointed that you didn’t address how serious the situation actually is. I urge you to PLEASE clear it up. We’re rooting for you, but we (as your supporters) also deserve to know how you want to navigate the situation. As an old fan of his I get how hard this is, but it needs to be talked about seriously, or it’ll get lost in time. 💜
I’ve been trying to find what allegations she was talking about online. Do you mind explaining the situation?
@@vcj9381please look up the cody ko and tana allegations, d’angelo wallace makes an in depth video about it
@@vcj9381 cody ko basically had sex with tana when she was 17 and he was 25 right after gabbie hanna told him that tana was underaged and he should watch it meaning he fully knew.
@@vcj9381 quick summary: recently awareness has been brought on how Cody Ko was 25 and had sex with 17 year old Tana Mongeau, its knowledge thats been on the internet for a couple of years now but most people only found out about it about like this week
anyway, cody ko has been filtering and hiding comments that mention it on his channel and on his subreddits and hasnt addressed it at all (still is posting on youtube tho)
theres no clear evidence so everything being talked about is still considered "alleged" for legal sake i believe sooooo in her story was basically about all that
@@vcj9381cody ko had sex with tana mongeau when she was 17 and 25 and he knew she was 17 and still did it

“Ireland trip review” Brittany talking about death and Paris for the entire episode😂🇫🇷🥖
I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago (while the Olympic preparations were in full swing) and we did the catacombs, something I’ve always wanted to do. We did the audio tour, but the gravity of what I was walking through still hasn’t really set in. It was very surreal and the entire concept of the catacombs and their subsequent transformation into an attraction for the public really sent me into a huge moral quandary about humanity and how we treat the dead. I had a similar experience where I saw MYSELF in the bones and skulls in front of me, that fundamentally, there is nothing different about me to the people buried down there. I’d like to see someone do a paranormal investigation, see if we can get some answers about how these people feel about what has become of their remains, because I too was very disturbed by possibly being part of a huge disrespect of the dead.
I found it horrifying that the bodies were moved underground because cemeteries were getting so overcrowded from stacking bodies on top of each other, that floods made the remains scatter across the city it was insane. The catacombs were truly fascinating. But however harrowing and profound the experience was for me, I don’t know whether I should recommend people visit it or not. I don’t think I’ll ever know whether it’s right in that it commemorates the dead and keeps the memory and importance of the French Revolution alive, or it’s a just a mass exploitation of the fallen that disturbs their deserved eternal rest
AYO LUCK OF THE IRISH TO YA ALL 🫡🫡🫡
i love the way you talked about the catacombes and mortality, you put a very specific feeling into words and its just beautiful to know that im not the only one who sees places like that in such a way
Brittney! as a master’s student in cultural anthropology and anthropology of tourism, I love your take on the catacombs! It was so awesome to hear you talk so passionately, and the anthropology of death is something very interesting across all cultures like you talked about. And the fact that Neanderthals also showed that same care for the dead! Great episode! ❤
hi! Random question but did you enjoy going into anthropology, how did you find your courses and how do you find the job market coming out of it (if you’re ending with masters) because i’m in the process of choosing a major and anthropology has always seemed interesting to me! Just curious about your experience, don’t feel obligated to answer if you don’t want to but any info is greatly appreciated
@@cara7550I was literally about to ask the same thing. In the fall I’m starting my freshman year as a anthropology major because it’s fascinating but realistically besides teaching or becoming a doctor (which I’m not interested in) I’m not sure what options I have open to me.
@@cara7550 hey! ive always loved anthropology and have enjoyed all my classes! i would recommend researching universities' anth profs to see who specializes in something you're interested in and go from there since there are many types of anthropology and not every college/uni will have everything. tbh I'm not sure what career I will have but I am currently in the museum field hoping to become a cultural tourism advisor or something but that's my specific interest! i hope you find a good fit for you!!
For anyone struggling with the concept of dying, I suggest the song “Start Forgetting Death” by Adam Melchor. There’s something about it that makes me feel so put at ease. Hope you all find the joy in every little thing ♥️
Brittany you should come to Perú, we also have catacombs in a smaller scale of course and it's under a church in the center of Lima but is not always busy and you can "enjoy" the experience with a little more respect. We also have a "hunted" cementary where a lot of our national heros are buried its huge I think your mom may like them
edit: I also forgot to mention it's common to make school trips to these placed I actually visited them when I was in primary school.
i ditto this!
20:16 we fell out of a coconut tree 😞😞😞
I know this is a month late,but I just got around to watching this but this kinda hit hard when she was talking about the catacombs and the way she was saying that it made her have the want to live the want to go out and thrive,it made my chest hurt because one of the things that drives me to live everyday is my twin sister she passed when we where born but I have always missed her I have always felt alone even with friends and family around me so I just tell myself when things get hard that I’m living a life for my twin sister a life she wasn’t able to have.
Idk why I felt so strongly to comment this but hope it helps someone ❤
BRITTANYYYY! I have the quote from 36:15 tatted on my spine!!!!!! I shortened it to “I am them and that is eternity”. Words cannot describe the feeling that poem gave me.
Chewing on a stim toy, ambient rain sounds on the background and I'm strapped IN
did you guys see her story about the cody ko situation??
yeah there was a top comment here about. it and she deleted it
WHAT DID IT SAY@@sambees7981
yes I love brittany but "if they are proven to be true" is crazy and I don't think she would be saying that if Tana wasn't the victim and Codiddy Ko wasn't the perpetrator
@@mixedpeterparker9357 yeah i sort of agree but it’s easy to understand why she reacted that way, cody was close to her after all. i’m waiting for her statement and i hope she clears up what she said
People it’s a literal crime what Cody did, she could have used the word allegedly instead of “if” and framed the sentence better. But even that wouldn’t be enough for people. Everyone’s behaving like she called Tana a liar and a whore no she did not, she did condemn him while covering her base as she should from a legal standpoint.
Broski nation, I think we are witnessing her becoming a brand. It's not only the CodyKo situation, it's more than that, right? I mean I understand but I can't help feeling a little disappointed.
Someone please give Brittany a show where she gets to visit ancient places and meet different historians and stuff!! that'd be soooo freaking cool!! She would eat that up, and it'd be so educational!
26:00 i dont know about the intention of the music either but i kind of find it wonderful, and uh... meaningful to bring such merriment down to the catacombs, bringing life to such a dormant/dead place, it's like giving the souls of those cold bones warmth again, it's weirdly sweet is what i mean
36:10 reminds me of that hozier verse from the song “first time” that says “ these days I think i owe my life to flowers that were left here by my mother, ain’t that like them gifting life to you again”
Brit I love you but please rethink your Cody Ko statement . “If it’s true” is not how we need to approach something like this when it comes to SA, statutory r*pe, and taking advantage of a minor.
Edit: many are missing the point. She is NOT responsible for HIS actions but she IS responsible for the words SHE says about the matter and spreading a dangerous rhetoric that causes a lot of survivors not to speak up in. Especially when they might see their fav RUclipsr not believing the victim “until it’s proven”. Lots of SA is not able to be proven. THATS what’s dangerous about this.
Edit 2: yall are exactly why I didn’t speak up.
Exactly. It's giving "believe all victims unless it's my friend" She loves to yap about feminism but doesn't walk the talk. Sad to see she is not a girl's girl. I don't even care or liked tana but a victim is a victim regardless if she comes thinks she was one or not. The fact cody was still best of friends with a known CONVICTED rapist, he himself being a rapist, and she still has the GALL to say "if" girl, please. Tana's story never changed. Why would she even make that shit up if gains nothing from telling people what happened to her for years.
Why are you coming here getting mad at her for something she had nothing to do with lol. She has to say “if it’s true” for legal reasons. He hasn’t been proven guilty by law and if she flat out says he’s guilty she could get sued for defamation. Think with your head before you speak fr.
@@andielx are you her lawyer? Saying “if it’s proven true” is feeding into the rhetoric of not believing victims. I get you love her, I do too, but we can be disappointed by what she said. It may not seem like a big deal to you but for someone who is a survivor of SA by someone much older than me and not being believed, this hurts to see her say.
boost. I wanna see these comments at the top. She can address this appropriately and still cover her ass legally.
@@andielxfr. that’s like being expected to be responsible for anything your friend does wrong, like they’re both grown adults and separate people. why does she need to take responsibility for HIS actions? it’s weird
Hi Britney! I love you but we gotta talk about how you’ll collab with Cody Ko and not with Tana especially after she addressed her past with Cody Ko. I Love Cody Ko! It was so heartbreaking to hear what she had to say in her podcast. She addresses how difficult it to be a victim of someone who is extremely loved in the public eye and it really made think to take a step back in watching his videos. Knowing that you won’t collaborate with Tana over “controversies” but will collab with Cody makes me feel icky. I love you as a creator and hope that maybe you can talk about your opinion on the matter.
Well said
Yeah literally it wasn't a "if" since it actually happened
she loves to pretend she’s for women empowerment until one of her male friends are being accused of sexual assault. like “believe victims” until it’s one of your friends i guess. so weird
How would she not collaborate with Cody and instead choose Tana if she was unaware (as all of us were) of these allegations? The Cody ko issue is really upsetting and sucks to hear about. I personally unsubscribed from him and will no longer watch his videos. But why are we holding Brittany accountable for his actions? I bet you haven’t gone to his cohosts page to wonder why he hasn’t spoken out about him? Or other people that have collaborated with him?
@@kimwatchesthingsand have you gone to Cody’s “male friends” pages disturbed about how they responded to the situation?? Or are we just focusing on Brittany because she is a woman and we have to find a ways to drag them for men’s actions
brittany's views on mortality always help me cope with my existential thoughts :) it's really refreshing and honestly calming to hear someone talk about death so openly and in such a beautiful way
Gorgeous reflection on the catacombs. I went there while living in Paris last year. it reminded me of a galaxy. If you have ever seriously contemplated the scale of the universe and us as just a breath in all of that space and time, that is how the catacombs made me feel. It felt very peaceful. There are also famous people down there, like Robespierre, but we don't know which remains are his - he is just dissolved into the mass of bones.
It makes me think of Ps 103 (the sentiment applies regardless of religious belief): "As for mortals, their days are like grass; they flourish like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more."
To me those lines are very touching, not sad.
Ugh I love her. I love her. Brittany truly is a fucking LIGHT. Such a bright person and mind. I love your thoughts on death and the catacombs.
Brittany this is one of your best episodes truly. I loved the catacombs yap and all of it. I truly prefer the episodes where you’re sober and more serious talking about your personal philosophies. Amazing love u ❤
I think you should definitely cover the Cody situation.
Did you see the instagram story that she quickly deleted because of how she approached the situation?
@@mixedpeterparker9357so bad
Yes please girl begging u
There's a cemetery here in Atlanta that has a sign at the gates that is something to the tune of, "Tread respectfully, because as you are now, so we once were. And as we are now, so you one day shall be." I tell you that shit chills my heart 😅
there's this quote in antique cemeteries here in spain that says "Fui lo que eres y serás lo que soy" and I think that´s beautiful.
Brittany this feels like a really silly comment but.. this talk about death was so important to me and came at a really crucial time where I have just been having a very hard time with death. To review it and feel it like you did was really nice and helped my own mind kickstart healthier and more awe-some ways to speak about even my own death
whats your opinion on the cody co allegations?
boost. I wanna see these comments at the top.
@@ponpommes Same
she said in an ig post that she found it to be disgusting. but she used the phrase “if proven to be true” which was most likely used as at the time nothing was entirely proven (no idea when she posted it because i don’t actually have ig so don’t come for me if this is incorrect) or to prevent a defamation case to be brought to her. on top of this, d’angelo (a youtuber who was one of the first if not the first people other than tana herself to talk about the situation) used similar language and is not getting the same hate as her. she has given her opinion, and that is that she thinks it’s a disgusting situation.
MOTHER IS BACK 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hey brittany, if you're not already aware of her, i think you would really like Caitlyn Doughty's work (Ask a Mortician on yt) she has 3 books and a number of youtube videos all about the death industry and all things related. Reading her books really helped me in my understanding of death and seeing other ways to celebrate and honor the dead, it's definitely worth checking out
At 32:00 when she’s talking about death being the equal to all of us she reminded me of the poem death the leveller by James Shirley. James poem talks about how death equalises us all and he does it so beautifully
Brittany I am begging you to make another art history video on your main channel. I love them so much. The music, the visuals, your commentary. It makes the learning fun😊
Ngl lie Britney, I 100% love your vids. But you owe Tana an apology, “if it’s proven to be true” is just really vile coming from someone who makes it a point to be up to date on current issues in the influencer space. Damn girl I was rooting for you to hold your bro accountable.
There’s nothing wrong with her comment.
im pretty sure she was just using proper pr language as instructed by her management team in order to not get sued, bc tbh, cody seems like the time to sue someone for defamation to me. but i can also see how this may feel dismissive or discrediting to tana.
@@Kiwitime72there is the statue of limitations is up on what happened to Tana it could never be proven in a court of law
@@Kiwitime72 there’s been a lot wrong with how she’s been acting towards Tana, even from the whole “my fans would ___ if I came on your podcast”, but she’ll take pics and go to parties with her? Very fake behavior.
@@VavaHi99 I mean it makes sense, Tana isn’t the best person to work with.
Hey Supreme Leader! Imma need you to rethink and retry the statement on the Codiddy Ko situation. Your first statement was ignorant of all of the facts, and it was disappointing as a citizen of Broski Nation. I love you and Tana and think you two would be and ICONIC duo, and it's upsetting to see you not validate her. I know you're a girl's girl deep down so please act like it. I love you and hope you make things right. Also PLEASE go on the cancelled podcast it's all I've ever wanted in life.
the catacombs part really got me. as your average human i as well have struggled with my mortality and i always found some weird enjoyment in visiting places related with death. that’s why i recommend everyone, if they ever will get the opportunity to visit Poland or be close enough to it, i strongly suggest visiting Austchwiz-Birkenau. It not only touches on the devistating history of the Jews and Polish people but also touches on the topic of death while having some excellent tour guides. They have tours available in a lot of languages so it’s very accessible. I strongly recommend giving it a go if you’ll ever have a chance.
The convo about the catacombs is such a vibe. Got me googling the little phrases. Googled looking for the carved in phrases - lots were just listing where the bodies were moved from and when. But I found 2:
"Remember your creator in the days of your youth before the time of trouble comes"
"Memento creatoris tui diebus juventutis ture antequam viniat tempas afflictionis"
"Thus everything passes on earth. Spirit, beauty, graces, talent. Such is an ephemeral flower. Let the slightest wind overturn."
