Chapter 1: What is the Broski Report about?
Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California, this is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski.
Well, in the merry month of May, from my home I started, left the girls a tomb, nearly broken-hearted, saluted father dear, kissed my darling mother, drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to smother, then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born, cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins, a brand new pair of brogues, rattling o'er the bogs, frightening all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin, one, two, three, four, five, hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, rock...
Chapter 2: Who is Jack O'Connell and why is he mentioned?
The accent wasn't great. Okay, here are my notes. Okay, I'm doing notes. Gays, please, I just said gays. Gays, give me notes. And I know you bitches have them. Notes are the Irish accent is not that strong. Really needs to be better. I can't nail a singular Irish accent, which is hard for me to admit because I like to think I'm an accent queen. I like to think I'm a character queen.
Takes a long time, okay? In the lifespan of Brittany, the Ireland thing is relatively new. I've been doing Towie and Essex, South London, way longer than I've had this Irish fixation. And now I've come over, okay? I've switched sides. But I find it hard. I find it kind of hard, right? It's not good. And the North of Ireland is so much different than like the Dublin accent from Cork, right?
When you get all the way down there to like Kilkenny, hey, what the fuck are you guys saying? But I'm going to decode it. I'm going to figure it out because I care. It's tough.
Then off to reap the corn! A brand new pair of brogues. I love Jack O'Connell. What the hell? I love Jack O'Connell. I love Jack O'Connell.
I love him, dude. He has a grip on my life right now. Please just keep with me, guys. I'm sorry. I will be over it. Give it another week or two. I'll be done. I promise. Do you remember in 2022 when I had that Robert Pattinson fixation? That lasted for, I'm not joking, about two, three months. Whenever Batman came out. Y'all stuck with me through that, okay?
Now, do you also, the Pedro Pascal phase? That was a long one. And then I gave it up and now he's back, okay? And I've relapsed. It comes in waves. I had an Oscar Isaac phase, short-lived. So sometimes it's short, sometimes it's long. Sebastian Stan, he came out of nowhere.
When I met him for Sundance last year, two years ago, that took over me like, and then I was with it for like a week and then it was gone. Jack O'Connell? I've seen every movie he's ever been in. I've seen every Vimeo student film project he's ever even gotten near. Oh, it's a level that's just, it's obsessive to a point that I can't even speak about it. I'd like to apologize.
Guys, welcome back to the Broski Report. Long time no see. Many things on my mind today. Many a silly or serious topic. You guys pick. One, two, three. Hope you said serious because that's what I want to start with. Here's something that's been on my brain, on my noggin. See, what is that? It's been on my fucking brain. See, that feels more natural, but it's not.
Some of you freaks are doing AP testing right now. I remember when I took my AP test. I passed all of them because that was my life worth. You know what I mean? As a high schooler, as a child, if I wasn't smart, what was I? Like that was just kind of how my relationship with my brain was in high school. I didn't have time to be depressed or anxious because I was studying. You know what I mean?

Chapter 3: What are sample AP Literature questions?
And so that is the larger hole that Radiator Springs fills for Lightning McQueen. This has been my AP response. Thank you so much. Let's do one more. Ooh, okay. Okay, okay. In many works of fiction, houses take on symbolic importance. Such houses may be literal houses or unconventional ones, like hotels, monasteries, or boats.
Either from your own reading or from the list below, choose a work of fiction in which a literal or unconventional house serves as a significant symbol. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze how this house contributes to an interpretation of the work as a whole. Off the bat, I'm thinking of Psycho, Norman Bates. I'm also thinking of Bates Motel, which is the same story.
It's just the hotel that they own. And how obviously the hotel is the... not only the literal scene, but the metaphor for, you know, people passing through these people who are maybe hoping to remain anonymous, who are on the run, who are, there's something to be said about the motel, the American motel. And Orville Peck has some really good thoughts on this concept.
And I kind of heard it from him for the first time of there's a unique quality to an American motel. and how so many walks of life have passed through some of these iconic buildings and what it represents and what it means, you know, the working class or scraping together the money that it takes for one night in a motel, families, single women, single men.
It's just like, what a strange liminal place that is somehow very American. I think that could be one. I'm also, I'm thinking... I'd like to say, actually, Dracula's castle. Houses take on symbolic importance. I would say Dracula's castle represents the ancient and older-than-old nature and almost adherence to tradition that Count Dracula has.
Through all the different interpretations from Bram Stoker's Dracula to Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, I think that, obviously because that's the most recent one on my mind, this insistence on, you will refer to me by my family's name, this is how he does things and has always does things, for someone who cannot die,
Dracula's castle represents him and his being and his mission, which I think as long as Count Dracula stands, so will this castle, right? And maybe one of them will outlive each other. I think that's a very interesting parallel, or I guess mirror, of the castle... is that way because Dracula is that way and Dracula is that way because the castle is that way.
And what it represents, you know, alone on a hill, untouchable, he will come to you. And if you happen to wander into his, you know what I mean? Like there's so much symbolism in what a castle represents. Also an abandoned sort of decrepit castle. Dracula's whole thing is he turns people, right? He captures people and makes them his servants.
I think in a mansion as infinitely large as Dracula's castle, there will always be room for his victims, he is forever asserting himself as the Lord of the Manor by turning all of his minions. There's a symbolic nature there of being trapped, where you can enter, but you may never leave, or you will never leave the same. Man, I'm kind of cooking.

Chapter 4: What is a Charley horse and why does it happen?
The Bally is a crested runner, but is still judged as a light duck, the crest being an important additional criterion in judging. Judging? They're doing duck shows? ! Duck shows.
Okay, so I type in duck shows and Daisy Duck Daffy Duck.
Who is Plucky Duck? I didn't mean actual. Do they do duck shows like dog shows? Yes, there are dog and duck shows. Oh, this is not what I mean. Often sheepdogs demonstrate their herding skills by rounding up ducks. No, I mean, are we showing off ducks the way that this British site is claiming that they are prized pigs? wow, this is a whole world. Who would know? Taxonomic classification.
That's what I wanted to call it. Not etymological. That is the name origin itself, the word origin. Taxonomy is what I was looking at. How is it classified? What is the species? How is it classified? Is that called taxonomy? Taxonomy. The scientific study of naming, defining, and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. I'm a genius.
Okay, okay, okay.
Moving on. Yeah, get into the Indian running duck. Indian runner duck. Shout out. Major shout out to those guys. And you want to know something? That show, Duck Dynasty, yeah, I was raised on that show. And I found the fact that they were doing all that for some ducks. Have you ever eaten duck? It's very... Duck is very gamey and they always do.
Here's what I found interesting as well every time I go to Europe, okay? Paris, Barcelona, Rome, London, for God's sake, Dublin, any of these cities that are either A, historically working class, B, buy a body of water, C, used to be used primarily as agricultural slash farming land, okay? Meaning this was not territory historically occupied by the ruling class.
Like for example, Paris, Palace of Versailles. Versailles is what, an hour away from Paris by car? I could be talking out of my ass. How close is Palace of Versailles from Paris? Yeah, it's like a 38 minute drive in Rome. Well, I mean, I guess it goes, how far back do you want to go? Because, of course, Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire.
I mean, more so like very recently, let's say 1700s onward. A lot of the local cuisine that you will find in these places is working class people food. When you have something a la Romana or something that is historically localized to that region, like Basque country in Spain or whatever.
