can we take a moment for the fact that not only did Brooke get Andrew on, but she did an INCREDIBLE job interviewing him! he really seems so comfortable talking with you like long time friends
Brooke, whenever you feel that imposter syndrome creeping in… WATCH THIS VIDEO! You did such a good job interviewing him and were so kind and professional! You deserve opportunities like this because you work hard and stay courageously vulnerable with all of us pals on the internet.
Yes amazing and both she and Andrew complemented each other so much, it was like watching two really passionate friends talking about their most recent obsessions
I love that not only did Andrew not feel weird when Brooke was explaining how obsessed she was with him and his work, but he also validated her obsessions and related to them with his own personal obsessions. As someone who has felt very shamed for being obsessed (and even just normally appreciating things), It just makes me so happy because Brooke deserves to hear that her obsessions aren’t weird, and are in fact valid, from a person who has been one of her obsessions at one point in her life
brooke saying " oh i thought ive killed people before, ya, tons of people" and andrew just going "ya man," fully unaware that brooke is talking about thinking she did 9/11 has me in shambles
OMG THE OCD AWARENESS THANK YOU!!!! absolutely LOVE the open discussion about this disorder because it's so misunderstood. "Pure" OCD is the type where you have more mental compulsions than outward behavioral ones, which is the reason it takes us so long to get diagnosed only doing talk therapy. ERP is the answer!! Love you both!!
facts this happened to me where i was misdiagnosed and still lowkey gaslight myself that i don’t actually have ocd bc i don’t have mant outward compulsions
I really really appreciate how candid, honest, vulnerable and detailed this OCD conversation was. Even as someone without OCD I think talking about the intimate details of mental illness is so important and rarely this authentic and genuine 🩵
I just want to say this weeks episode was absolutely amazing. There couldn’t have been a better guest for you to have on Obsessed. He brought all of the effort and energy to match you and you let him have space to speak while navigating the convo with ease. I hope this was the start of a long friendship! Proud of you, Brooke!
The way I was grinning EAR TO EAR and kicking my feet the entire episode is insane. I’m SO happy for Brooke. like their energy was perfectly match and legitimately radiating off of each other I can’t 😭😭😭💓💓💓💓💓
the way i HOWLED when andrew said "bad cinderella". also, as always, LOVE seeing theater ppl talk about the industry being less broadway-centric, and seeing theater ppl reach a wider audience! i hope brooke watches the updated starkid catalogue bc i have not left that phase.
BROOKE !!!!!!!!! this is monumental. I thought this was just our king Andrew edited in the thumbnail and then I saw him in stud (studio) and SAT UP off the couch IMMEDIATELY !!!!!! wow
Brooke and team, thank you for your service giving us a such a long and wholesome interview with Andrew because there has not been enough media presence for him and he is just a ray of sunshine
i went to no hard feelings in the theater alone & cried like a little baby during maneater, like sobbed. the people around me looked back at me a few times & thought i was so crazy but i couldn’t believe i was the only one in that room affected by it😭
this episode i think perfectly highlights the differences between brooke and connor. brookes interactions with celebrities is focused on their craft, like she isn’t obsessed with them because they are famous but because she loves the work they’ve done and i think that comes across so clearly in this interview!! put brooke in more rooms!!!
I feel like Andrew knew he was gonna be Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors by the look on his face when they started talking about it but couldn’t say anything at the moment 😂
brooke didn’t realize i have a parasocial with you until this moment when i thought “she now personally knows andrew barth feldman and he knows jlaw really well so actually i know jlaw”
this was such a heartwarming episode and I also just wanna say that I truly think everyone with OCD should give ERP therapy a try. I have extremely severe Pure Obsessional OCD and ERP (combined with medication in my case) has genuinely saved my life and given me so much of my brain back. So glad Andrew shed light on that form of therapy. The way you treat OCD is often not the way you’d treat anxiety because of the obsessional, reassurance seeking nature of it, so a dedicated OCD treatment like ERP is life changing. ❤
Brooke......words can NOT describe how proud I am of you!!!!!! This was not only a wild feat, but you did an amazing job holding it together and making a great episode. Shoutout to Andrew for being such a king as well, he's genuinely a star
this is simply the best podcast I have listened to in ages. I have laughed I have cried I am kicking my feet giddy. amazing job brooke and I am simply obsessed with ABF
brooke i adore you so so much, and it brings me to the verge of tears to see you so happy to be yourself in this episode specifically. this podcast is so special to me already as someone with deep deep obsessions very few people understand. thank you
i am so in the midst of my starkid hyperfixation 😊 they came so close to getting discussed when the brittany broski episode mentioned darren criss and very potter musical, but as soon as i saw andrew was on this episode i KNEW starkid would finally get talked about, made me so happy!
Checking back in after watching the episode and wow….just wow. Brooke you did it again bestie. What an AMAZING episode!!!! He was such a great guest who was so appreciative and gave the best vibes! He matched your energy so well and the conversation just flowed and flowed in a way that made it seem like you two were just catching up and already knew each other. I am so happy that this happened for you and shout out to his besties for putting you on his radar and making this happen. I can’t wait to re-watch it. He was such a delight and this was such a wonderful episode!!
BROOKE DID SO GOOD OMG I loved this entire thing. You can see Brooke fangirling but also keeping it together so well. She was able to move the conversation along so well you could tell she was prepared for sure, she killed it. And love Andrew of course he is so well-spoken and so nice and I LOVE how similar he and Brooke are.
i swear the Maneater scene changed everyone who saw it lmao i watched it in bed with my man one night and after that scene, we both just sat there in silence like ... wtf just happened??? IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! we were both super impressed and my man doesn't get impressed that easily lmao we watched the movie 2 nights in a row bc that's how much we loved it lol i haven't laughed at a movie so hard in a looooong time
Saw a clip on tiktok and immediately came to youtube. This is my first episode of this podcast and the chemistry is through the roof. I thought this is gonna be my sleep in podcast but I just couldn’t stop listening and I hope this isn’t the last episode of you two together
can we take a moment for the fact that not only did Brooke get Andrew on, but she did an INCREDIBLE job interviewing him! he really seems so comfortable talking with you like long time friends
yes like she is britney broski level charming with celebrities she just needs to trust herself more!!!
@@anniecronin66exactly
i gasped i cant believe she got him for the pod😭
gasped intensely
Oh same, gasped so loud it scared the people around me. Sooooo so so beyond happy for Brooke and team
Feeling an emotion equivalent to watching my best friend get married.
This exactly
THISSS
1000%
Huh?
I CAN believe she got him on the pod because she’s Brooke but I also CAN’T believe she is breathing because she’s Brooke
😂💯
The way you mention how you thought you were responsible for 9/11 without actually mentioning it is killing me
i was CRYING
“TONS of people”
42:00
BROOKE HOW TF DID YOU HOLD IT TOGETHER?!?!? genuinely flatlining
I need a whole bonus episode where brooke debriefs on everything she was thinking and feeling during this ep with Andrew
addicted to Andrew Barth Feldman unlocking the nuance of his sexuality for a brief moment re: Zac Efron
Screaming at this comment
My fav comment
Brooke, whenever you feel that imposter syndrome creeping in… WATCH THIS VIDEO! You did such a good job interviewing him and were so kind and professional! You deserve opportunities like this because you work hard and stay courageously vulnerable with all of us pals on the internet.
“Courageously vulnerable” is such a good way to describe it
Yes yes yes!!!
Couldn’t agree more, and might I add that this comment made me so emotional thinking about how supportive Brooke and her viewers are of each other 🥺🥺
Yes amazing and both she and Andrew complemented each other so much, it was like watching two really passionate friends talking about their most recent obsessions
she did such a great job
Seeing someone Brooke is obsessed with genuinely appreciating and loving her obsession is making me so genuinely happy right now
Absolutely love it so much
well now i’m addicted to this young man
Okay but truly!!! He’s now a household name for me
Knowing how obsessed she is with him - it’s SO impressive that she was able to lead this interview so incredibly Brooke you are a STARRR
“i think zac efron was my first crush and i don’t even think i’m queer” brooke i couldn’t thank you enough for this pod episode
I fell over 😭😭😭 I tripped when he said that and laughed like what tf 💀
I love that not only did Andrew not feel weird when Brooke was explaining how obsessed she was with him and his work, but he also validated her obsessions and related to them with his own personal obsessions. As someone who has felt very shamed for being obsessed (and even just normally appreciating things), It just makes me so happy because Brooke deserves to hear that her obsessions aren’t weird, and are in fact valid, from a person who has been one of her obsessions at one point in her life
THE POD GUEST PULL OF THE CENTURY OMFG!! Brooke you’re so iconic wtf
i genuinely cannot believe we got this duo im shaking
i know this is irrelevant to how insane this duo is but brooke is just drop dead gorgeous i can’t handle it.
This brittany broski effect literally, it's happening right before our eyes
I am now obsessed with Andrew Barth Feldman! What a kind, sweet individual 🥹
Same! Never seen him before this but he is so adorable!❤️
SAME!! Never seen anything of his and now fully obsessed🤚🏻
Me too girl like ive seen her talk about him but after this episode i quite literally ran to all my socials to follow him
Queen didn’t throw up, didn’t pass out to my knowledge - SLAY
brooke saying " oh i thought ive killed people before, ya, tons of people" and andrew just going "ya man," fully unaware that brooke is talking about thinking she did 9/11 has me in shambles
I am now also completely and utterly obsessed with Andrew Barth Feldman at this time.
OH BROOKE YOURE KIDDING
brooke this is iconic
OMG THE OCD AWARENESS THANK YOU!!!! absolutely LOVE the open discussion about this disorder because it's so misunderstood. "Pure" OCD is the type where you have more mental compulsions than outward behavioral ones, which is the reason it takes us so long to get diagnosed only doing talk therapy. ERP is the answer!! Love you both!!
facts this happened to me where i was misdiagnosed and still lowkey gaslight myself that i don’t actually have ocd bc i don’t have mant outward compulsions
i absolutely adored that part of the conversation! it was so short but so meaningful and made me feel understood ugh i love them both
how special was the OCD conversation 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i love you brooke
he is SO sweet and appreciative i cannot im GRINNING
I really really appreciate how candid, honest, vulnerable and detailed this OCD conversation was. Even as someone without OCD I think talking about the intimate details of mental illness is so important and rarely this authentic and genuine 🩵
I just want to say this weeks episode was absolutely amazing. There couldn’t have been a better guest for you to have on Obsessed. He brought all of the effort and energy to match you and you let him have space to speak while navigating the convo with ease. I hope this was the start of a long friendship! Proud of you, Brooke!
He seems like such a kind, sincere person
Oh she’s standing on BUSINESS!!!
Brooke is SUCH a good conversationalist! This interview felt so comfortable and natural. Love it!
cannot believe i’m witnessing this moment in time
The manifestation of talking about Little Shop and Andrew actually getting to play Seymour…that’s magic
The way I was grinning EAR TO EAR and kicking my feet the entire episode is insane. I’m SO happy for Brooke. like their energy was perfectly match and legitimately radiating off of each other I can’t 😭😭😭💓💓💓💓💓
“I don’t think I’m queer” is so funny
BROOKE!!! IM AS HAPPY AS A STRANGER ON THE INTERNET CAN BE FOR SOMEONE FOR SHE DOESNT KNOW!!!!
the way i HOWLED when andrew said "bad cinderella". also, as always, LOVE seeing theater ppl talk about the industry being less broadway-centric, and seeing theater ppl reach a wider audience! i hope brooke watches the updated starkid catalogue bc i have not left that phase.
oh my tummy is absolutely full of butterflies for Brooke and this episode, can't stop giggling
brooke we are just so proud and deeply obsessed
Could you imagine if this podcast turned into Brooke interviewing all the people she is/has been obsessed with, I would simply pass away
BROOKE !!!!!!!!! this is monumental. I thought this was just our king Andrew edited in the thumbnail and then I saw him in stud (studio) and SAT UP off the couch IMMEDIATELY !!!!!! wow
He got so excited when she said she was asking her main question she was most excited for 😭
This episode feels like a weighted blanket (positive connotation)
Brooke and team, thank you for your service giving us a such a long and wholesome interview with Andrew because there has not been enough media presence for him and he is just a ray of sunshine
adore the way he responds to compliments by saying theyre meaningful - he's so genuine and humble
i went to no hard feelings in the theater alone & cried like a little baby during maneater, like sobbed. the people around me looked back at me a few times & thought i was so crazy but i couldn’t believe i was the only one in that room affected by it😭
He is so incredibly good at receiving compliments. So genuine and down to earth! Obsessed with this young man!
Petition for TMG to do everything in their power to get all of Brooke's celebrity obsessions on the pod!!!
OH YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY KIDDING ME!! I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE YOUNG HUMANS!!
This felt like an intimate conversation in the best way. like they were on a date and I was watching from the potted plant next to the table
“We’ll go together” screaming
brooke you have transcended to another level with this one
Also Brooke YOU KILLED THIS. Like you absolutely killed this.
this episode i think perfectly highlights the differences between brooke and connor. brookes interactions with celebrities is focused on their craft, like she isn’t obsessed with them because they are famous but because she loves the work they’ve done and i think that comes across so clearly in this interview!! put brooke in more rooms!!!
What an angelic young man
you were in a room with Andrew Barth Feldman, you did it!
BROOKE THIS IS CRAZYYY
BROOKE MARRY THIS MAN. I love u guys together.
the immediate bond between these two is everything to me
They have an insane amount of things in common
I feel like Andrew knew he was gonna be Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors by the look on his face when they started talking about it but couldn’t say anything at the moment 😂
Might I just say she is doing an excellent job of being in a room with this man. Congrats Brooke 🎉
The dynamic between y’all is incredible
I’m only 13 minutes in and this interview is already everything I hoped it’d be. Andrew is just a sweetie sweetheart!
truly manifestation at its finest 😭
They matched both in tops and energy. Exquisite interview ladyefron 👏🏼
brooke didn’t realize i have a parasocial with you until this moment when i thought “she now personally knows andrew barth feldman and he knows jlaw really well so actually i know jlaw”
Why is he the sweetest boy ever in the world im getting a little emotional for this reason
BROOKE when i tell you i’m absolutely so happy for you pookie and mr. andrew you are a king among men !! yay!!!!!!
Um this is the cutest first date I’ve ever witnessed
this was such a heartwarming episode and I also just wanna say that I truly think everyone with OCD should give ERP therapy a try.

No because this is literally everything I’ve ever wanted or needed
My stomach hurts watching this. The anxiety and joy mixed together is far too much for me rn. ❤
THE WAY I GASPED WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL
IM SHAKInG NO FiNG WAY
I started crying when I saw this and then started laughing at just how many times you were freaking out because I would be the exact same
I’m like so obsessed with him and this is feeding it so well. Thank you Brooke. Thank you Andrew Barth Feldman.
Stop him saying Zac Efron was his first crush but he doesn't think he's queer is so funny
andrews face at 48:25 he was SO curious to see what you had to say
Brooke is such a great interviewer it’s amazing to see an interview where it feels like friends talking
brooke i adore you so so much, and it brings me to the verge of tears to see you so happy to be yourself in this episode specifically. this podcast is so special to me already as someone with deep deep obsessions very few people understand. thank you

Jaw dropped when I saw the thumbnail WOW
Dare I say Brooke your manifestation space is ridiculous!!!! Andrew Barth Feldman is Seymour 😭😭
i am so in the midst of my starkid hyperfixation 😊 they came so close to getting discussed when the brittany broski episode mentioned darren criss and very potter musical, but as soon as i saw andrew was on this episode i KNEW starkid would finally get talked about, made me so happy!

Jumpscare (positive connotation) when Ryan showed up in the corner
