As a young woman scientist, who also aspires to be a renaissance woman, I don’t wish for anyone to think they have to pick a side between analytical and artistic thinking. Art and History involve so much math and mapping to discern the interconnectedness of it all. Science and engineering require creativity and an intensive understanding of literature and scientific language. I encourage people not to sell themselves short and get stuck thinking a discipline is not for them because they are one type of person or another. Be curious always!
absolutely!! I'm also in STEM (Zoology and Entomology) and to me there is nothing more exciting than learning something from one field and being able to apply it to another. I read a fantasy story once and the author mentioned something about a pest control method used in the fantasy world. I googled it and it was adapted from a real technique that indigenous communities in Africa use. I was then able to include that strategy in an essay for the Integrated Pest Management class I was taking at the time
I'm a software engineer and I teach computer science and data science, and I agree entirely. Some of the best mental experiences of my life have been going so deep into algorithms that all the sudden you can see art, and vice versa. If Brittany took ONE (1 ☝️ 1️⃣) discrete mathematics class taught by an engaging professor I believe she would see it and how absolutely beautiful it is.
19:48 Had the coolest history teacher when I was in high school. He constantly emphasized that history was written by the winners. That has always stuck with me.
this pod is a highlight of my week & it’s reassuring to see others struggling yet keeping it together as i struggle to keep it together. yall are real ones, fr.
As a dog trainer listening to you explain the debunking of the alpha/pack theory was so AMAZING. this incorrect theory is used to excuse so much abusive dog training methods!!! and it’s just all untrue!! 👏👏👏
I always watch Broski Report when I do my makeup for work, and I keep the door open so my mom can hear Brittany talking too while she’s working at home. EVERY DAY I’m in the bathroom and my mom is at her desk just hysterically laughing the whole time. I don’t know what I would do without this woman.
the burn out thing is so real. i haven’t been doing much but my health has taken a nosedive recently & i am internally screaming most of the day. im grateful to have this as an outlet, truly.
Whenever I can’t stop thinking about my mental health and how crazy I am, my mom tells me to forcefully take 10 minutes to think about someone else. Think about what they’re doing, how they’re doing, etc. It snaps me out of it every time
I love this so much. Like, it isn’t invalidating your mental health but rather putting your experience into a larger perspective. It is grounding, and that’s wonderful❤
Listening to her talking about Greek mythology made my week. I’ve had a hyperfixation on Greek myths since I was 9. (Yes it started with Percy Jackson but it progressed way further than that). I literally wrote my diary in Ancient Greek letters so my sister couldn’t read it
right like i studied latin up to a college level and greek for a few years and am all too familiar with mythology from countless books and original myths. I HAVE AN ENTIRE BOOK SHELF FOR THIS STUFF. but thank you percy jackson and lore olympus and uhhh what else like hadestown and like the song of achilles and all this fun stuff for keeping me actually interested because without it i would have burned out wayyyyyy faster and would have much less knowledge
Omg i still to this day write in the greek letters/my own code bc some are too similar😂😂 i sometimes forget im writng in it until someone asks wtf im doing😂😂
it's so fascinating hearing her talk about history and her fascination with art and the mind; it is genuinely one of the best things about this podcast. please don't stop I love it so much❤️🫂

That painting, Goya’s “Saturn Devouring His Son”, HAUNTS MY LITERAL NIGHTMARES. When I was a kid I saw it in an art book at a friends house and it cemented itself into my brain foreverrrr.

definitely something in the retrograde. you described how I've been feeling the past few weeks to a T and I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one going through it. I think that is what is so special about Brittany, that any original experience you think you're going through--she either has gone through it or is going through that same thing and is able to explain it in the most educated way while simultaneously keeping it at a level that is understandable and relatable. Brittany I love you so much
the whole part brittany was saying about the retrograde and feeling burnt out even though she’s doing stuff she loves, and the need to go back to what feels good is like. holy shit. i have never related to anything more rn why tf am i going through the exact same thing
the sheer ENORMITY of the dante and virgil painting amazes me. i saw it in paris a few years ago and you have to stand all the way across the room to even see it all at once. it’s so captivating and detailed it’s truly just an amazing painting

when Brittany sees of listens to Hadestown shes gonna lose it. like bluegrass, folk, southern music mixed with greek myths and amazing storytelling. i sense a broski report on it someday
Edit: I read all of Lore Olympus in 2 and a half days and it was SPECTACULAR I love Broski Report bc it is so refreshing to see someone so chronically online, be a fangirl and all that. Someone full of whimsy and makes me excited to talk about dragons, mermaids, and folklore. And then at the same time, this is a person who makes me feel excited to learn, to research, and to read. Now given I am a history nerd! I have a bachelors of arts in Classical studies, my minor is history and I have a freaking micro diploma in MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE. I miss learning so much, I wish I could know more, I wish I could just go back to university and spend my life savings to just continually learn about things that interest me. Idk what I'm yapping about, but Brittany makes me feel normal for wanting to learn, and at the same time makes me feel so normal for being thirsty for men on the internet. xoxo also i am in the same headspace, i am ready to cry literally thinking about anything at all.
I've said this since my first time watching a video of you: you have ADHD!!! (-fellow ADHDer & philosophy/pre-law major) it's why you're so fucking funny, can hyperfocus on things while losing track of time, going from one topic to another and another and leaving tabs open of the rabbithole of topics going from one to another. It's called interconnected thinking, and as someone else with ADHD, you videos are like satisfying brain candy. You are so fun to watch, I literally showed a chunk of the Broski Report you did in France to the head of the psych department at my university who has been doing his own personal work on ADHD studies- and we just sat and pointed out these patterns of Brittany. She is just chefs kiss YOU LATERALLY THINK - You are right and left side. BRITTANY!! Do a deep dive on the original evolutionary advantage of having ADHD that first appeared 50,000 YEARS AGO! You are so creative, imaginative, good at keeping momentum in conversations in all contexts with different kinds of people.
brittany if you love orpheus and eurydice story you NEEEEEED to see hadestown. that shit literally changed my life it is so beautiful. it isnt like your typical musical, it is super jazzy and just amazing.
listening to brittany talk so passionately about art and history reminded me just how much i lost this part of myself and forgot how i loved learning new things. so brittany - if you’re reading this, thank you so so much
girl you would LOVE the musical Hadestown. Songs are breathtakingly beautiful, lyricism is smart, the parallels between the relationships of hades/persephone and orpheus/eurydice are the core of the show and it’s one of the best pieces of art imo. check it out bc nobody talks about it
CAME HERE TO SAY THIS EXACTLY!!! I cannot recommend this musical enough, it is the most beautiful writing I have ever seen! And since it is a completely sung-through show, you can just listen to the whole thing and not miss any information :))
I was gonna say, one of my good friends listened to the musical and she would update me on what was happening and it came to mind during this episode but I could not for the life of me remember the name of the musical! So thank you:)
while everyone is entitled to their opinions, i actually sincerely dislike Lore Olympus. I think there's no problem with stories involving risky topics, taboos or content that might be considered shocking (after all, real life is often shocking and those who have had bad experiences deserve to see themselves reflected in fiction), but my issue is that it feels like it claims to be a "modern" "feminist" retelling of a gruesome myth, but Persephone is actually so deeply robbed of her agency during the story that it almost feels satirical to me. It could be that the earlier parts of the story aged badly, but the clumsy treatment of the way the relationship between the main two characters starts just always rubs me the wrong way.
i love the parts where you talk about real actual things, not just joking around all the time. in my life, i feel very forced to be funny all the time, and i would love to have a genuine conversation with someone. and you do both! you can be the funniest person in the room, but also very well spoken and always can inform people of new things. i love you brittany so much thank you for making me feel seen. i want to be like you :)
One of my favorite things about Greek mythology and other ancient folklore/religions is the fact that their retelling is part of their entire point!!! There are thousands of varying tellings of the same story from contemporary Greek and Roman authors. We get to do the same thing today. Switching up the wording/intentions/settings/timeframe does not take away from the “point” of the stories - it is the most faithful way for us to engage them! As a former minister I might say something similar about Christianity although others would likely disagree. But anyways stories like Disney’s Hercules, Percy Jackson, lore Olympus are not bastardizations of the stories, but a genuine interaction with them, engaging current day humans around topics and themes that relate to us. THAT is what makes them such timeless stories (imo)
I love this perspective!! Would love to connect if this is something you like to talk about. I’m doing an MA in religious studies and always looking to yap about it 😂
Thank you so so much for introducing me to Nibble! This is the first video I’ve watched of the Broski Report and clearly that was “divine” timing bc nobody ever understands what i mean when I say school was my THING as a kid (and young adult for collegiate physicist, architect, and journalist) and I fuel myself through knowledge and learning and I enjoy not knowing things because it gives me the opportunity to learn something new and it’s like a gift almost or I’ve unlocked another level of life. So Nibble would actually be so perfect for me. Thank goodness for information
i’m in the hospital waiting room rn, our fearless leader knew i needed entertainment update: i am home and all good! thanks for all your sweet replies. fearless leader has pulled me through a tough time yet again, I AM BROSKI NATION’S #1 GOD WARRIOR
I love how deep she gets into the Greek mythology lore, it makes me want to get back in rediscovering it myself. Maybe even going back to school and changing to whatever major mythology is in, I literally got giddy listening to Brittany talk about this, my fave broski report for sure!
i’ll tell u one thing that’s been helping me this month, BLACK TEA! it’s good for anxiety, and honestly i feel more grounded when i drink it, i just bought a 24 pack last night 🥲 journaling & i went to therapy last week! :)
Brittany, as a woman who also places a lot of value in my intellect and life long learning, I hope you know how much I enjoy every segment of your podcasts, the silly, the intellectual conversations, the deep emotional parts. All of it! And I also think how quickly you’re able to switch between silly and intelligent and back really shows how actually knowledgeable you are. Love you madam
Brittany please so a video of you taking the 16 personalities quiz. They are very thoroughly researched to define each person down to their weaknesses and strengths as well as the person in the workplace and relationships!
As someone who knows a lot about greek mythology this episode is right up my alley. I also know you asked if greek mythology is lesson based and my response to that is, not most of the time. There are so many different adaptations of the same story, so later depictions are more likely to have a lesson in them. Greek mythology in the beginning was really just telling people about gods and how easy these gods could either make your life one worth living, or make it hell (literally). Especially with Eurydice’s and Orpheus, there story isn’t so much a lesson then it is as grasping an understanding of Hades as a god. Hades knew just from how determined Orpheus was to get back Eurydice that he would fall the challenge. The thing with there story that many people don’t understand is the adaptation most people use as reference is a cruel version of their tale. Orpheus had to walk for months in front of the love of his life trusting her enough to know she would stay behind him through it all. When they got to the top of the cave Orpheus was so relieved he got out that he looked back the moment he exited the cave, but since Eurydice was behind him, she was still in the cave. Also in this interpretation Orpheus doesn’t get killed, but he does live the rest of his life lonely and searching for his lover. (sorry to rant so much i’m just a nerd for this stuff and PLEASE WATCH HADESTOWN ITS SO GOOD)
I’ve done a lot of research on Saturno Devorando a Su Hijo and Goyas Pinturas Negras (I also study Greek myths and Latin at university).What I find so chilling about the painting is the pure sense of Fear from Saturn - which we don’t get in the Rubens original. While Rubens accurately displays the horror and gore of the painting, Goya shows us a god/man/titan/king so consumed by fear and worry that it has driven him to where we find him in the painting. He is quite literally attempting to consume his fear but we can see it has already eaten his sanity away. The madness of Saturn mirrors the madness of Goya, too, which we can see through the anatomically incorrect forms and the fact that this was scrawled directly onto the walls of his house. This is my favourite painting ever and there is so much more I could say!!!
BRITTANY community college is free for two years due to a California grant. I’m starting fall this year, tuition free, to change my career and I feel whole again. GO FOR IT!!
this episode felt like therapy to me (specifically around the 10 min mark) you validated some normal feelings, that until this episode i thought i was alone in. Thank you for talking about yes, entertaining brain rot, i love that too. but also, shining light on reality and things that could improve societally. thank you thank you thank you. if you have no supporters im dead
@@97GoalieGirl FRRRR i joined the whole fandom when the artist was on a break and i remember spending 7 HOURS just mindlessly reading it all till i catched up
I love the educational aspect of this podcast it might be one of the most interesting things I watch currently I could listen to Brittany talk about literally anything and be so interested in it
I think I’m drawn to you as a creator exactly because you know so much about so many different things. I went to DC to see the Rothko exhibit just because of your video on him. He’s now my favorite artist
Welcome back girlieeeee! Sorry you were going through it last week. I STG something is in the water rn. We're all out here emotional as hell and crying at everything.
you HAVE TO get into Hades Town the musical!! the story is literally about Hades/Persephone and Eurydice/Orpheus!! The music is so fucking good too!! ps loving you so much
I would love to see Brittany tap into creative writing - with her intellect and passion for analysis I feel like she could create some really thoughtful and deep characters/stories. She’s so creative too and I feel like it would be a really fulfilling outlet for her
@8:00 I was so comforted by this little blip. I also value knowledge because I was not ever able to rely on my looks to survive. It’s so good to hear someone else say this stuff out loud
When she was talking about being so deep her head, I feel exactly that. For those who have seen the show Locke and Key, there’s a mind key where you can enter your mind, and there are all of these different memories found within it that you can watch, and it’s even organized by the timeline of your life or something else. When I’m deep in my thoughts, I like to invision myself as one of those characters in the show that walked into my mind, and I’m just pulling memories to look at. By doing this, it has helped me with sad times and getting out of it. Typically I will constantly think about my past, where I went wrong, etc. I try to associate those thoughts as just a memory that I can’t change and that it’s just apart of my life, which has truly helped
I’m already in a better mood in the first few mins of listening to this pod. Brittany you truly being so many people such joy and light. I appreciate everything you do
I’m 26, almost 27, and I was feeling the same way about going back to school. I finally did it!! If you do it and you love to learn I can almost guarantee you won’t regret it. I was a former gifted kid too and not being in school was really difficult for me. It’s never too late!
32:08 😭😭😭 shit hit especially hard as a classics major. pouring my blood sweat and tears into learning what declension an ancient greek noun is when it couldve been in english
Heavy on the just watching my life go by😭 I’m going back to school for something entirely different from the degree I already have. I’m excited but also nervous. You can do it, girl!❤️ Expand your knowledge!
@@rollerdaddy Thank you! You can go back to school any time you want. If the drive isn’t there now, it’s okay if its later in life. I hope you have the means to be able to take advantage of it when your heart desires!
You should make a segment where you teach us what you’ve learned on the app !! I can listen to you tell us facts and explain things all day long ! I’ve learned a lot from you ❤
I know the first 15 minutes of this episode was something you apologized for profusely, but it was really nice to hear. Having these moments of vulnerability and “hey i’m not happy, i’m unwell, etc” are really nice, even on (maybe even especially on) a channel that is a constant giggle storm! People come to your channel to feel happiness and giggle at relatable shit. And nothing is more relatable than showing the other side of being funny. I’ve been feeling the same ways in my life lately and it was nice seeing that other people are feeling it too. Hang in there! Well all make it through this bullshit lol
I’ve been a Greek mythology lover since I was a kid… I’ll discuss it with you all day 🥺 I have around 60 books just on Greek mythology and their stories
Me too! Like, I'm always looking for new material, so if you can recommend one you think it's awesome, I'll be very grateful! Greek Mythology Girlies for the Power

Brittany not realizing that Lore Olympus is the most famous webtoon that brought the platform to mainstream audiences is sending me
She said she hadn’t read it since 2018 so its fair she hadn’t known.
it’s not the most famous, but it fs is with western audiences. the most famous webtoons are mostly korean based. i think that’s what makes lore olympus stand out amongst the top tho
I always thought it was "untouchable" that did that. and "sweet home".
Isn’t it problematic or something?

real but ngl theres an embarrassing amount of famous media that originates from wattpad LOL
Yes but she said she read it in 2018, and back then webtoon was not that big of a thing. I would know I read webtoon back then as well

Idk what I'm yapping about, but Brittany makes me feel normal for wanting to learn, and at the same time makes me feel so normal for being thirsty for men on the internet. xoxo also i am in the same headspace, i am ready to cry literally thinking about anything at all.
Shivering, shaking, withering… I click the episode and a rush of dopamine CONSUMES EVERY INCH OF MY BEING
LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY
As a recovering theater kid, it is now only a matter of time before Brittany discovers Anais Mitchell and Hadestown
CAME HERE TO BOOST THIS
I can only hope, the people need to listen to it 🙏
I was literally shocked that she’s never listened to Hadestown it’s literally gonna be life changing when she finds the slime tutorials
The best musical ever!
I've said this since my first time watching a video of you: you have ADHD!!! (-fellow ADHDer & philosophy/pre-law major) it's why you're so fucking funny, can hyperfocus on things while losing track of time, going from one topic to another and another and leaving tabs open of the rabbithole of topics going from one to another. It's called interconnected thinking, and as someone else with ADHD, you videos are like satisfying brain candy. You are so fun to watch, I literally showed a chunk of the Broski Report you did in France to the head of the psych department at my university who has been doing his own personal work on ADHD studies- and we just sat and pointed out these patterns of Brittany. She is just chefs kiss YOU LATERALLY THINK - You are right and left side. BRITTANY!! Do a deep dive on the original evolutionary advantage of having ADHD that first appeared 50,000 YEARS AGO! You are so creative, imaginative, good at keeping momentum in conversations in all contexts with different kinds of people.
I would be SO down for a separate Chanel/podcast just about history and mythology taught by you.
i hope if she ever does that she looks into actual sources, not lore olympus and google ai
@@videocoloma 1000% agree.
brittany if you love orpheus and eurydice story you NEEEEEED to see hadestown. that shit literally changed my life it is so beautiful. it isnt like your typical musical, it is super jazzy and just amazing.
LITERALLY! I was gonna say the same thing cause I could not stop listening to it for half a year because it's THAT GOOD
listening to brittany talk so passionately about art and history reminded me just how much i lost this part of myself and forgot how i loved learning new things. so brittany - if you’re reading this, thank you so so much
you know it’s a good episode when she talks abt feeling crazy 😭😭😭(it’s every episode )
girl you would LOVE the musical Hadestown. Songs are breathtakingly beautiful, lyricism is smart, the parallels between the relationships of hades/persephone and orpheus/eurydice are the core of the show and it’s one of the best pieces of art imo. check it out bc nobody talks about it
CAME HERE TO SAY THIS EXACTLY!!! I cannot recommend this musical enough, it is the most beautiful writing I have ever seen! And since it is a completely sung-through show, you can just listen to the whole thing and not miss any information :))
Yes! Brittany should just put on the album, and then see it live whenever she has an opportunity, so good!
I was gonna say, one of my good friends listened to the musical and she would update me on what was happening and it came to mind during this episode but I could not for the life of me remember the name of the musical! So thank you:)
while everyone is entitled to their opinions, i actually sincerely dislike Lore Olympus. I think there's no problem with stories involving risky topics, taboos or content that might be considered shocking (after all, real life is often shocking and those who have had bad experiences deserve to see themselves reflected in fiction), but my issue is that it feels like it claims to be a "modern" "feminist" retelling of a gruesome myth, but Persephone is actually so deeply robbed of her agency during the story that it almost feels satirical to me. It could be that the earlier parts of the story aged badly, but the clumsy treatment of the way the relationship between the main two characters starts just always rubs me the wrong way.
i love the parts where you talk about real actual things, not just joking around all the time. in my life, i feel very forced to be funny all the time, and i would love to have a genuine conversation with someone. and you do both! you can be the funniest person in the room, but also very well spoken and always can inform people of new things. i love you brittany so much thank you for making me feel seen. i want to be like you :)
One of my favorite things about Greek mythology and other ancient folklore/religions is the fact that their retelling is part of their entire point!!! There are thousands of varying tellings of the same story from contemporary Greek and Roman authors. We get to do the same thing today. Switching up the wording/intentions/settings/timeframe does not take away from the “point” of the stories - it is the most faithful way for us to engage them! As a former minister I might say something similar about Christianity although others would likely disagree. But anyways stories like Disney’s Hercules, Percy Jackson, lore Olympus are not bastardizations of the stories, but a genuine interaction with them, engaging current day humans around topics and themes that relate to us. THAT is what makes them such timeless stories (imo)
love this!!
preach (pun intended)
I love this perspective!! Would love to connect if this is something you like to talk about. I’m doing an MA in religious studies and always looking to yap about it 😂
Thank you so so much for introducing me to Nibble! This is the first video I’ve watched of the Broski Report and clearly that was “divine” timing bc nobody ever understands what i mean when I say school was my THING as a kid (and young adult for collegiate physicist, architect, and journalist) and I fuel myself through knowledge and learning and I enjoy not knowing things because it gives me the opportunity to learn something new and it’s like a gift almost or I’ve unlocked another level of life. So Nibble would actually be so perfect for me. Thank goodness for information
The beginning of this video is exactly how I’ve been feeling. My mindset has been exactly the same. You described it perfectly. Thank you.
The hair, the nails, the makeup, the earrings!!! YOU LOOK SO CUTE EVEN THO YOUR GOING THROUGH IT MADAM PRESIDENT!!!!
1:06 no cuz wtf is going rn
I hadn't realise how much I missed this until I saw the thumbnail and almost started crying
i’m in the hospital waiting room rn, our fearless leader knew i needed entertainment
update: i am home and all good! thanks for all your sweet replies. fearless leader has pulled me through a tough time yet again, I AM BROSKI NATION’S #1 GOD WARRIOR
get well soon
Its been 2 hours, are you doing okay?
Hope you're good 🙏
Well wishes to you and yours! I HATE THE HOSPITAL.
@@crystal.wolfe1315 im all good im still in the waiting room. woohoo.
I love how deep she gets into the Greek mythology lore, it makes me want to get back in rediscovering it myself. Maybe even going back to school and changing to whatever major mythology is in, I literally got giddy listening to Brittany talk about this, my fave broski report for sure!
i’ll tell u one thing that’s been helping me this month, BLACK TEA! it’s good for anxiety, and honestly i feel more grounded when i drink it, i just bought a 24 pack last night 🥲 journaling & i went to therapy last week! :)
i think that’s why i felt like i NEEDED last weeks episode but to see you’re struggling too, it’s like, damn, love u so damn much girl!
the ritual of making tea is so incredibly soothing
Girl I'm on my BLACK TEA healing just because of my anxiety too and I feel like my soul can breathe again 🙂↕️
Brittany, as a woman who also places a lot of value in my intellect and life long learning, I hope you know how much I enjoy every segment of your podcasts, the silly, the intellectual conversations, the deep emotional parts. All of it! And I also think how quickly you’re able to switch between silly and intelligent and back really shows how actually knowledgeable you are. Love you madam
Brittany please so a video of you taking the 16 personalities quiz. They are very thoroughly researched to define each person down to their weaknesses and strengths as well as the person in the workplace and relationships!
PLEASE!! I second this. I know she would get so into it too
i personally find the enneagram more like... pinpoint accurate, so i would love for her to do both. mbti is def useful in a lot of ways too 💖
maybe even a video taking a whole bunch of personality quizzes? 16personalities, enneagram, big 5, etc.
As someone who knows a lot about greek mythology this episode is right up my alley. I also know you asked if greek mythology is lesson based and my response to that is, not most of the time. There are so many different adaptations of the same story, so later depictions are more likely to have a lesson in them. Greek mythology in the beginning was really just telling people about gods and how easy these gods could either make your life one worth living, or make it hell (literally). Especially with Eurydice’s and Orpheus, there story isn’t so much a lesson then it is as grasping an understanding of Hades as a god. Hades knew just from how determined Orpheus was to get back Eurydice that he would fall the challenge. The thing with there story that many people don’t understand is the adaptation most people use as reference is a cruel version of their tale. Orpheus had to walk for months in front of the love of his life trusting her enough to know she would stay behind him through it all. When they got to the top of the cave Orpheus was so relieved he got out that he looked back the moment he exited the cave, but since Eurydice was behind him, she was still in the cave. Also in this interpretation Orpheus doesn’t get killed, but he does live the rest of his life lonely and searching for his lover. (sorry to rant so much i’m just a nerd for this stuff and PLEASE WATCH HADESTOWN ITS SO GOOD)
53:52 leave my gooch out of this
this comment made me scream out loud dude 😂
I’ve done a lot of research on Saturno Devorando a Su Hijo and Goyas Pinturas Negras (I also study Greek myths and Latin at university).What I find so chilling about the painting is the pure sense of Fear from Saturn - which we don’t get in the Rubens original. While Rubens accurately displays the horror and gore of the painting, Goya shows us a god/man/titan/king so consumed by fear and worry that it has driven him to where we find him in the painting. He is quite literally attempting to consume his fear but we can see it has already eaten his sanity away. The madness of Saturn mirrors the madness of Goya, too, which we can see through the anatomically incorrect forms and the fact that this was scrawled directly onto the walls of his house.
This is my favourite painting ever and there is so much more I could say!!!
Not us being spoiled by getting an episode AND Miss Broski is looking sooo good 🫦🫡
BRITTANY community college is free for two years due to a California grant. I’m starting fall this year, tuition free, to change my career and I feel whole again.
GO FOR IT!!
She has a bachelor's
I graduated with a BA in philosophy. I am so in love with philosophy. Philosophy is everything.
this episode felt like therapy to me (specifically around the 10 min mark) you validated some normal feelings, that until this episode i thought i was alone in. Thank you for talking about yes, entertaining brain rot, i love that too. but also, shining light on reality and things that could improve societally. thank you thank you thank you. if you have no supporters im dead
This feels like a hit after a week of withdrawals
oh... uh hi Brittany. I love u
brittany talking about a webtoon that ive been obsessed with this years wasnt on my 2024 bingo list
Saw the thumbnail and almost died
@@annalieseashwell-smith3986 WHEN I TELL YOU ABOUT THE SCREAM I SCRAM WHEN I SAW IT
Yes 100% Also the fact that brittany knew about this when she was posting the webtoons… wild.
@@97GoalieGirl FRRRR i joined the whole fandom when the artist was on a break and i remember spending 7 HOURS just mindlessly reading it all till i catched up
hope you recover from that obsession cause yiikes
23:17 I LOVE LORE OLYMPUS!!! I've been with it since the early chapters
Me too!! I couldn’t believe she was talking about it!!
That Webtoon fundamentally changed me as a woman
SAMEEEEE been reading it since 2018 !!!!! still sad it finally finished tho 😭😭😭
my two favorite things in one video!
I love the educational aspect of this podcast it might be one of the most interesting things I watch currently I could listen to Brittany talk about literally anything and be so interested in it
“in the beninging” uhhhh you just get me 😩 no one ever knows what im talking about
I think I’m drawn to you as a creator exactly because you know so much about so many different things. I went to DC to see the Rothko exhibit just because of your video on him. He’s now my favorite artist
Welcome back girlieeeee! Sorry you were going through it last week. I STG something is in the water rn. We're all out here emotional as hell and crying at everything.
Literally got in my truck at 7:58 and said I HAVE TO WAIT TWO MINUTES?!
you HAVE TO get into Hades Town the musical!! the story is literally about Hades/Persephone and Eurydice/Orpheus!! The music is so fucking good too!! ps loving you so much
yesss!! was coming here to comment this!! its SOOO good!!
I JUST COMMENTED THIS AA
I literally saw it this weekend and it’s so beautiful. Ugly sobbing the whole time
omg was just coming to say this !!!
I love hadestown literally Eurydice and Persephone or even Hermes songs always itch my brain where you just have to sing them and get so into it
I would love to see Brittany tap into creative writing - with her intellect and passion for analysis I feel like she could create some really thoughtful and deep characters/stories. She’s so creative too and I feel like it would be a really fulfilling outlet for her
HANDS OFF THE WHEEL, POSE 28 enabled, I'm ready to hear from mi'lord
Pose 28 😭
not the dti reference i'm crying
It’s like she knew I was bored asf during my office job THANK YOU BRITTANY GIRLLL
Was going thru it really bad but this episode put s light back into my eye. Thank u fearless leader 😁😁😁
This was by far the most amazing, educating, and enlightening episode for me she’s done by far
Not me screaming “fallacy” while driving with my hands off the wheel @ 6:55
LMFAO
@8:00 I was so comforted by this little blip. I also value knowledge because I was not ever able to rely on my looks to survive. It’s so good to hear someone else say this stuff out loud
When she was talking about being so deep her head, I feel exactly that. For those who have seen the show Locke and Key, there’s a mind key where you can enter your mind, and there are all of these different memories found within it that you can watch, and it’s even organized by the timeline of your life or something else. When I’m deep in my thoughts, I like to invision myself as one of those characters in the show that walked into my mind, and I’m just pulling memories to look at.
By doing this, it has helped me with sad times and getting out of it. Typically I will constantly think about my past, where I went wrong, etc. I try to associate those thoughts as just a memory that I can’t change and that it’s just apart of my life, which has truly helped
I’m already in a better mood in the first few mins of listening to this pod. Brittany you truly being so many people such joy and light. I appreciate everything you do
I’m 26, almost 27, and I was feeling the same way about going back to school. I finally did it!! If you do it and you love to learn I can almost guarantee you won’t regret it. I was a former gifted kid too and not being in school was really difficult for me. It’s never too late!
"I lie for cash on Mark Zuckerberg's Internet" 🤣
I scrolled upon this comment at the same exact time she said it.
32:08 😭😭😭 shit hit especially hard as a classics major. pouring my blood sweat and tears into learning what declension an ancient greek noun is when it couldve been in english
something about the deeper conversations in this ep were reminding me of jenna marbles in the best way possible
Heavy on the just watching my life go by😭 I’m going back to school for something entirely different from the degree I already have. I’m excited but also nervous. You can do it, girl!❤️ Expand your knowledge!
that’s awesome! i wish i had the drive to go back to school and get a degree in something i actually love. i’m happy for you, do great things!
@@rollerdaddy Thank you! You can go back to school any time you want. If the drive isn’t there now, it’s okay if its later in life. I hope you have the means to be able to take advantage of it when your heart desires!
You should make a segment where you teach us what you’ve learned on the app !! I can listen to you tell us facts and explain things all day long ! I’ve learned a lot from you ❤
I know the first 15 minutes of this episode was something you apologized for profusely, but it was really nice to hear. Having these moments of vulnerability and “hey i’m not happy, i’m unwell, etc” are really nice, even on (maybe even especially on) a channel that is a constant giggle storm! People come to your channel to feel happiness and giggle at relatable shit. And nothing is more relatable than showing the other side of being funny. I’ve been feeling the same ways in my life lately and it was nice seeing that other people are feeling it too. Hang in there! Well all make it through this bullshit lol
1:29 you are sooooo real what the hell is happening
best birthday present is opening youtube to see there’s a new broski report episode
Awe happy birthday!❤
Happy birthdayyyy🫶🫶🫶

Happy bday! 🎉
I feel like I learn so much from this podcast! I just discovered it and I’m obsessed with you Brittany!!! Love you girl!
I was soo depressed Brittany 😭 you finally came back
It's so crazy when you talk about your brain, friends, interests, and you are literally describing me to my core!!!
i could listen to Brittany talk about greek mythology all day
Our leader has returned!
0:21 YOU LOOK SO GLOWING
I’ve been a Greek mythology lover since I was a kid… I’ll discuss it with you all day 🥺 I have around 60 books just on Greek mythology and their stories
Me too! Like, I'm always looking for new material, so if you can recommend one you think it's awesome, I'll be very grateful! Greek Mythology Girlies for the Power
50:44 - 50:54 OKAY VOCALS
