This week while visiting Boston, Bridget talks to the woman who made Brunch possible, her mom, Diane, and her first lesbian crush, Lizzie.
Bridget and her mom talk about Bridget's athletic prowess, the Boston Red Sox, and how wicked pissah it is to have two gay daughters. Afterwards, Bridget talks to her high school pal Lizzie about the difference between archaeology and paleontology, why working as a movie usher is the path to greatness, and how Bridget's devotion to Lizzie in the typically boy-crazy teen years was less about loyalty than unrequited love. Brunch with Bridget: Episode 26 "Brunch in Boston"
Brunch will be on hiatus next week for the July 4 holiday weekend while Bridget is in Paris with Sarah, Lori and me shooting our first international episode of You Can't Take Them Anywhere. Bridget will be back with another Brunch again on July 13. Submitted by on June 29, 2008 - 5:00am. |

Funniest pillow fight!!!
Moms, BFFs and shoes
I can't believe your mom agreed to come on your Vlog, how cool is that?
I have a BFF I have known for about 20 years too. I also had a huge crush on her at some point, but not when I was that little...more like high school.
Great shoes!

What accent?
Yeah--Red Sox Nation! You go, Mom McManus! The sign should say 'No Yankees Allowed' (just for this episode).
Love that Bridget is actually complaining about someone else's cleavage and Lizzie gives good pillow fight..
So cool
soo cool that you had your best friend on as well as your Mom. Your Mom is sooo cool. So good to see you have such a wonderful relationship with your Mom...great vlog!
Be loving you from CT
Be Well

Maybe 'cause I am midwest
and so when I get up it is way later in the morning to you, but everytime I go to watch you V-Log (ha!) there is always a ton of comments already. Bridget it is like you are a lesbian magnet. Anyway, your mother is adorable. Wicked pissah I say that all the time and I am not even from boston. The hell?
And what is with Baby Bridget not doing hot or not anymore?
Hot: The pillow fight. Best one I have seen.
Not: Totally stealing your mom's pjs. For shame.
Never met a pearl quite like you that could shimmer and rot at the same time through
Totally off topic...
But I had to say that every time I read one of your comments you get the Distillers stuck in my head...
Also, Great vlog Bridget! What a cool mom (even though you guys like the Red Sox... I'll let that part slide)
Don't know what to think
Should I think you are awesome 'cause you like the Distillers or good that someone actually reads my insane rambling comments.
....Its all good.

This comment is for Bridget's mom
I'd be more than happy to take Bridget off your hands, marry her and get her knocked up, providing you with grand kids. But I've watched all her video's and know this will never happen, which is a shame as she is really gorgeous.
And why is the old sign back?
sign
I think it's the travel-sign for when Bridget is not in LA.
It was nice meeting your mom and first crush, they are cool people :) As an archaeologist, I find it nice to have the difference between digging up human artifacts and digging up dinosaurs explained on an international hit-series-v-log. Thanks.
diane
wow your mom is the best, bridget!
I was thinking about what my mother would tell my audience about me... I have no idea, but I'm going to ask her later... :-)
Cool vlog, have fun in france!
I LOVE THIS!
ok, how adorable is bridget's mom? it warms my heart to see how loving their relationship is. Diane, you rock!!! and thanks for providing us with bridget :). you did good.
lizzie is funny & cute. i love hearing all the personal stories in this vlog and aww... bridget cutting the tree, what a sweetheart. lizzie & bridget's dynamic was great to watch, it's clear that they've been friends for a very long time.
this certainly is one of my fav brunch vlogs. thank you for letting us into your life, bridget. you're such an inspiration & all-around awesome person. keep being a rockstar!!! i'm sad that there is no bwb next week, but you, without a doubt deserves a break. so enjoy your holiday!!
p/s: is that karman's head i saw in the mirror? :)
Bridget I really mean it
Bridget I really mean it when I say that your whole life has been a preparation for the big star (that,of course, you alrealy are) and will even more become. So funny. ((!!!))
Also, such a funny quote about you -always- willing to have sleepovers and hangouts with Lizzie ;). I somehow can imagine whyyyy....... you would that for your friends (A)
And what about you giving Lizzie and her mom a Christmas tree...sooo cute and hero-ish.
Have fun in France
with all those brunettes (A)FAV BWB !!!!
AW... YOUR SO KIND BRIDGET CUTTING DOWN A TREE FOR YOUR FRIEND....THE TOPS DONT GROW BACK HAHA WILL REMEMBER THAT JUST INCASE.... YOU NEVER KNOW
MY FAV BWB SO FAR YOU AND YOUR MUM ARE SO CUTE...VERY FUNNY
GREAT VLOG..... BRIDGET YOU ROCK!!
Love it...
I remember (at the NYC meet & greet) talking to Bridget and her telling me a bit about her first lesbian crush and how she'd be having her on BWB soon... so I was very happy to tune in and see the day had finally arrived!
I don't think that I could adore Bridget more than I already do, but seeing her in all her befuddled cuteness with her mom and then with her first crush... awww!
(Self Appointed) "#1 Bridget McManus Fan"
Lol, that was such an
Lol, that was such an AWESOME ep.
A great start to my day. thanx Bridget.
"How's it feel BITCH?!"
"Cheating shouldn't be seen as a negative thing. It should be called something like juggling or being fucking awesome!"~~~Bridget McManus
Haven't laughed so much in
Haven't laughed so much in a while, that was a great vlog.
Bridget's mom is AWESOME!
Question.
Bridget mentioned that a femme is a "girly" lesbian with long hair. I consider myself to be a femme but my hair is shoulderlength. Are there certain criterias that make femme lesbians femme? I always thought that femmes were just girly. Like Jill has short hair and she wears tank tops all the time but I still consider her to be a femme. Any opinions?
As for the vlog, hilarious as always. Bridget's mom seems really cool and so does her friend. Sucks you won't be on next week but I'll attempt to manage.
some people like cucumbers pickeled
wow, that was funny...Bridgets mom is awesome...and I love how she stopped for a second to ask if Bridget was wearing shoes in bed...lmao, the greatest.
The whole seeing people wearing Red Sox clothing everywhere you go is the same in RI too, actually it's split...half RI is red sox, half yankees.

Thanks Bridget's Mom!
Straight Best Friend-Syndrome
Brilliant vlog Bridget..one of my favourites so far! I always like glimpses into the lives of the afterellen staff/vloggers! Your mum seems lovely and I couldn't help but chuckle to hear that you were a sickly fat kid.....I was also fat and throwing up a lot. Can't help but think we got a short straw. My parents will never stop calling me Moaner-Sickly.
I also had a crush on my best friend years ago. It makes for an interesting dynamic..."I can't help that you wanted me sexually..." Haha. Poor Bridget. Or is that poor Lizzie?
Oh and I LOVE Lizzie for totally putting her foot in it. "What are the different types of lesbians...??" LMAO I regularly unwittingly say things that are against lesbian-etiquette that are met with stern glares or awkward silences.
Momma D & Lizzie.
What a fun vlog! As lots of other posters have already said...I think this BWB tops the list of the most LOLs in one sitting! :D
I thought it was absolutely adorable and sweet that Momma D remembered and could finish the last line of the song about the neighbor's dog! :)
And I had my own Brownie and Girl Scout experiences...the best was when they had a regional conference in our town when I was still a Brownie and all of these older cute girl scouts thought I was adorable...and so before the weekend conference was over, I had collected about 8 names and phone numbers! PLAYAH! ;)
I wish I grew up with Bridget
Nipple Cupcakes!
Bridget did/said so many things that reminded me of the ladies from The Planet: the Podcast for L Word Fans, KC and Elka.
For instance her pajama bottoms=nipple cupcakes! She called the Boston fans a cult (kelka fans are sometimes referred to as a cult). Lizzie lived in new mexico; KC and Elka live in new mexico. Bridget had her mom on the show and back in the first season of the podcast they had Elka's mom on.
Anyway..hilarious episode as usual. <3 you Bridget!
Family Fun and Bon Voyage!
Bridget, another great offering. So nice to see your mom. I love her accent and she seems like a fun person. I can see where you get your sense of humor from. You even have similar laughs! Congrats to your brother on his graduation!
Lizzie is great. Nice to see you still have friends for so many years. I cherish mine so much.
Take care and enjoy Europe!!!! Come back safely!
great show and what a cool mom!
That was a good one, Bridget. Had to watch it twice. Your mom is super cool and your friend Lizzie is a rock star (except for the burping). But I love her attitude. Your mom is just so sweet.
The PJ pants are way cute. And the pillow fight was great. Next Sunday will be a sad morning, LOL. I am so used to having brunch with Bridget. But you deserve a break!
Oh and are those high tops?? Love them.
If I were Bridget
I would totally be cushing on Lizzie too. LOL
And Bridget, your mom's totally cool. Have fun in Europe!!!

this was so cool. seeing bridget and her mom together was the coolest!!!!
bridget.... your mom is amazing. you're so lucky that you can steal her cupcake pjs. lol
6yr olds are in brownies, right?
I thought there was a conditioning process and once you complete brownies you are promoted to the Girl Scouts.
Great episode. The pillow fight was amazing and I loved the story about Bridget's TV Guide collection.

Brunch with Diane and Lizzie
Bridget,
Loved the vlog with your Mother and your best friend, Lizzie. You and your Mother have the same sense of humor, it's infectious. I grinned the whole time I watched the vlog.
Hope you and Karman are having fun in Paris.
Hahah that pillow fight was
funny
Oh and about your clogged bathroom sink.
Here is how I learned to do-it-myself...I think it must be a Home Depot vid...

oh bridget, you are the
oh bridget, you are the coolest person i wish i met
how didnt i realize that because youre from new england youd be part of the nation. your mom is so cool, and i cant believe you caught a ball lol I go on road trips with my dad to maryland, philly, boston, all the time to see the sox - ive never caught anything haha.
Lucky biznich
One day I too will have a job that allows me to roll around and fondle every hot girl I meet. *voice breaks* It will be the happiest day of my life.
Your mom is so awesome, Bridget. And your friend is adorable. I can see why you had a crush on her. lol But that pillow fight was sad. Hilarious but sad. Youre light as all hell. I could easily beat you in a pillow fight. Not say you wouldn't be a challenge, cause I know you would, but also I know how awesome I am. :o)~
I'll miss you next week but I'm glad youre getting a break. Like all the rest I'll be excited for you return.
first after ellen post. very important!
there seems to be painful lack of recognition for the RED SOX NATION! love in this vlog.
will you wear/strategically place sox gear next week, please, bridget? [actual filming location not important!]
gosh, thanks in advance ;-)
Yayness!
BWB is my favourite part about Sundays :-)
Bridget's mom ROCKED, and I personally think that my gym class would have gone MUCH BETTER if Bridget had been my gym teacher...I'm just sayin'....
if Bridget had been MY gym teacher
