Hey everyone welcome to fat mascara. It is Jen. Hi, happy, happy Wednesday. I'm warning you now. I'm warning you now. I've been really good about this, like I don't

curse on the podcast, but we do have an explicit on this one because I said the S word.

It's so funny, my guest, Brennan Kilbane, you'll hear me say this has the best manners of anyone I've ever met and it's almost like because he has such good manners I went the opposite way and brought my my potty mouth and my Philly accent out I'm sorry about that but Brennan is such a delight I'm so glad he's here

I hope you're gonna enjoy this episode just so he doesn't have to sit through his resume.

I'm going to tell you who he is.

So Brennan is a writer, obviously, I think I said that in the description.

He's a contributing writer to a lore and airmail look, but he's also written for GQ, New York magazine,

Bustle, The Verge, and others. And I wanted to invite him here as our guest co-host.

We have a couple more guest co-host over the next two weeks and then

Jess is coming back. She was traveling actually and she's just texting me that she's back.

She has an interview she's doing by herself next week and then we're going to get back to some regularly scheduled programming

But for today jump on in and hang out with me and Brennan, let's get into it.

Hello, Mr Kilbane, welcome to Fat Vaskara.

Hello, Ms. Jen Sullivan.

It is truly the honor of my life to be here today.

Stop it.

If you guys can't tell Brennan and I are friends and so this might go totally off the rails.

I'll see. I'm toured about having friends. this might go totally off the rails.

I'm torn about having friends as co-host

because I think it makes for great chemistry,

but then there's also this shorthand

when you know someone that you just pick up
