I love the now revelation that Brennan's mother actually just went and got the cookie every night, not pigeons

spoilers for A Starstruck Odyssey interview with his mom pt 2 (on Dropout): there's a sweet moment of Brennan talking to his mom about the cookie/windowsill/monster-become-friends thing and his mom, Elaine, reveals she was the one who was taking the cookies from the windowsill while Brennan was sleeping when he was a kid--his mind as an adult is truly blown, he had no idea. love the support and magic his mom created in his childhood!

"You stay away from my wife! My wife! If you're gonna eat somebody eat me!" he says as he hurls a cookie into the shadows. He turns to look back at his beloved, midway through her nightly yoga regimen. "I love my beautiful monster bait wife..." There's a crunching from the darkness, the sound of crumbling baked goods being devoured as scaled limbs and gleaming talons slither and skitter on the hard pavement of the night girded city. "So do we, she's a real snack! See ya tomorrow Murph."

Brennan's Murph impression is spot on

There were always monsters at the window. My bedroom at my mum and dad's was in the basement and I always ALWAYS had the curtains shut at night and even then refused to look at the window. One night when I was 13 or 14, my dad came home from work and - not looking to tease at ALL, just to let me know he was home - he KNOCKED ON MY WINDOW. He came in and found me crouched fetal and frantically whimpering in the downstairs hallway where no windows could get me. He felt awful and never did it again.

Not completely in the same ballpark, but my mum used to have "magic cream" that sparkled, which she'd put on bumps and scrapes - nearly every kid she used it on (including myself) would immediately stop crying and get back to playing. Turns out it was just hand cream with glitter, plus the power of placebo 😅

3:56 Considering characters like Jawbone and The Junk-Mother, Siobhan is right on the money. The PCs show a bit of kindness and understanding, and then you end up with John Feathers helping to deliver a baby.

I overcame my fear of the dark by deciding that if the monsters are going to kill me, I'm dead either way... So I just walked in and screamed in my head "Come at me then! Just do it!" They didn't do anything, so I slept peacefully 😅

Love that Murph would be scared of the monsters eating Emily, not him

A week or two ago I saw a video of some guy feeding about 20 or 30 raccoons at night on his deck. Big fat trash pandas swarming over him as he dumps out a bag of catfood, a bucket of grapes, and then sits down among them to hand out cold hot dogs. There is an unexplored downside to leaving cookies out for the monsters.

Every monster / alien movie: No cookies on the windowsill. Death abounds.

Can Brennan PLEASE write a book called, "If You Give a Monster a Cookie."

I love this idea. It makes the kid feel comfortable with the world being a little scary at times, and if you do basic chemistry and other science things with your kids you can make them think you're a great wizard that has learned how to befriend the monsters. Super cool 😎 👌

As someone with ocd, Murph talking about it, if only very very little made me kinda emotional

i love watching this now having seen the interview with his mom and knowing that no, brennan, a pigeon did not take it, your mom came in and took it.

I thought there were monsters in my basement, so I wrote up a contract stating that I would always shut the door (so they could have privacy) in exchange for protection. We coexist peacefully to this day.

Quality headology there.

I almost forgot to watch this today

wow I feel sorry for the person who decides to write the closed captioning on this, there is so much happening at once lol

when i was a kid sometimes i would hear knocking on my window but my room was on the 3rd story of our house. and every time i moved the curtains i could see nothing and it was terrifying. then one day my rude teen cousin was visiting and he was taking too long in the bathroom so i knocked on the door and the little rascal knocked back instead of opening it, i got confused and didnt know what to do. but that did give me the idea, every time since i heard the knocking on my window i would simply knock back and be comforted by the fact that i probably confused the heck out of whatever was trying to get my attention. we dont live at that house anymore and 20 years later i still dont know for sure where that knocking came from.

Brennan's idea of bed-monsters is similar to that of when humans first started domesticating dogs: just give 'em enough treats, and they'll roll over.

See what I did is imagine Yugioh monsters to defend me and then fell asleep aldjakd

The real friends was the monsters we made along the way

The monsters are Santa clause!

Brennan’s mom has trained those monsters to come back to their apartment every night for food

now he knows the truth of what happened to the cookies

I would have eaten this shit up as a child, I would have loved it

Oh my gosh, I’ve got a five year old who is TERRIFIED of monsters in her new room and I’m definitely doing this tonight

I was also terrified that there was something outside my window as a child, but instead of telling my mom I said nothing and still can't stand to have the window or blinds open when it's dark out or sleep facing a window. I don't think I have OCD, but I definitely have Catholic guilt and an anxiety disorder and my brain would have definitely taken hold of the cookie thing in a different way than Brennan's, especially since I slept in the same room as my younger sister and would surely blame myself if the monsters got her
