Brunch with Bridget: Episode 13

In bed with Bridget this week is out actress Jill Bennett of Dante's Cove, 3Way and AE vlog We're Getting Nowhere fame. In addition to the typical Brunch hijinks, they also discuss Jill's childhood aspirations, the influential men in her life, and why being an out performer is so important in the battle against homophobia. Yes, this is A Very Special Semi-Serious Episode of Brunch with Bridget!

In addition to all the thoughtful discussion, they also play Show and Tell with photos from their childhoods, and from a recent game of Broomball (they were on opposite teams).

They also grudgingly display their high school prom pictures, so it turns out that there is some comedy in this Very Special Episode after all.

    This goes out to you and you and you......................

    'I would type your name but that would give you fame and I ain't out to give you what you don't have so I sit back and relax cuz it makes me laugh'  Some vintage MC Lyte for those who don't know.  Another futile attempt to try and attack Jill and on Bridget's Vlog at that, so disrespectful to B!

    Jealous One (that's your new nickname) you must be one of Jill's ex's or maybe you tried to come on to Jill in 'da club' (pun) and was turned down, either way it's time to move on J.O., you & all your other Jill Hater Buddies!! Get a life and seek therapy for your obession with Jill, maybe Cathy could help.  And as far as your account goes, you could always create a new one, feel free to use anyone of my suggestions:  Wankster, The Mad Vlogger, She's Just Not Into Me or my favorite - the nickname I gave you Jealous One.  Oh and for your Buddies:  Jealous Two, Three, Four etc...

    Btw we can say more than Jill is hot...............................Jill is so freaking HOTTT!!!

    Great vlog Bridget you rock with your sexy self, please have Jill on again and make more appearances on WGN.

    Things that make me go WTF!!.........

    Why do some people wear sweatshirts with shorts and flip flops w/socks in the winter?.....

    Why is Bridget Mcmanus single?.................. California Ladies step your game up!

    haha... I have a different

    haha... I have a different problem when it comes to my Sunday hangovers. Most of the time Bridget and guest have way too much energy for me to watch until I have had significant time to recover from saturday night. I think it's a combination of them talking a lot and my laptop screen being too bright but I definitely have to wait awhile before I can watch them!

    Unnecessary Closeups

    Love them! Yay Jillie B. and Bridget M. in a vlog together! Sundays are always sooo great!  Great vlog, and (as a fellow Indiana girl) loved the serious side.  I love both sides.

     Bridget totally whomped that ass again. Go Bridget!

    Fruits for brunch?

    I have been to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Floripa. Now I am wondering if we ever dated. HAHAHA! Just kidding.

    Brazilians are gorgeous, hot, party animals, great dancers, good friends and mind blowing lovers. What else can I say? Jill and Bridget just have to tell me which fruits they like the best. Brunch is served at 11. ;)

    I have seen this vid on youtube, It is just perfect, Jill Bennett, Tap that!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCbOXF5GPqU&feature=related

    oh i love checking this in the morning:) yay:D now i can't wait to watch it, hurry up veoh link ;)

    They seriously know what people wana see, heh.

    <3

    Ok i love all their stories and pictures. i can't believe jill and Bridget only met on WGN. It was excellent when bridget said

    "I was my grocery the other day, and the man behind me was man stink. I was foul. Sir, take a bath"

    i laughed soo hard <3 these two seem to bounce off each other it's brilliant. And my dog does the thing like winston two, his name is Rufus he's adorable and he snores too. hehe.

    Can't wait till next week to see Bridget and her Sister.

    Twstdtrinity's picture

    Awww I heart you two

    Awesome Bridget and sweet Jillie, two of my favorite ladies.

    Thank you guys so much for doing these video vlogs. I, for one, am truly thankful to you both, and all the vloggers, for doing what many are afraid and frankly don't have the balls to do. Every week you guys share a piece of yourselves and ask nothing really in return.

    So, thank you Jillie and Bridget, for a fucking excellent vlog.

    Duuude, I totally missed Bridget's crouch shot due to the lingering memory of Jill's. Thank you Bennett :o)~

    lovely

    i love love love the toned down version of you both on this vlog, jill is a great guest and there could never be to much of her and

    BRIDGET IS THE HOTTEST THING EVER!

    Jill and Bridget in serious mode

    Wow. I didn't think it was possible for Bridget to find a serious moment. And how wonderful that Jill Bennett was the guest when it happened. And then you both managed to get back to the humor. Awesome. Just amazing.

    As a writer, I certainly can relate to the comments about not making a living at your chosen craft. And about doing it anyway.

    I hope Bridget and Jill keep on doing it for a very long time.

    =))

    I just have to comment on the pillow fight first. What a hilarious one! And Jill was being super competitive even when Bridget has lost her 'weapon' =))

    Now, things I love about Bridget:
    -energy (i.e. body language i.e. running around)
    -unexpected games with socks and pillow cover
    -turning everything (e.g. socks) into accessories

    And I'm trying to decide whether I love the (allegedly) drunken Jill in WGN or the serious and heartfelt Jill of this vlog more. In the end, I think both are equally awesome.

    Thanks for the great brunch and keep drawing Bridget! (even when you had Baby Bridget looking semi-Mickey on your first artistic piece :P)

    A Very Special Episode!

    Thank you Bridget! We need more of both of you!!! :D

    I thought Jill might be on this week, because during that 'Brill fight' Jill said "say it's a draw until your next video blog" so yay!

    Jill i hope that picture is up in the next WGN.

    p.s i came out to my parents when i started watching the WGN vlog and saw how confident Jill was talking about anything and everything. so thank you! :D

    hehe

    So funny, i could sit and watch you two talk all day, such randomness, fun, laughter and seriousness all rolled into one!

     

    juru's picture

    Thanks

    I just wanted to thank you ladies for putting yourselves out there (this goes out to all the AE vloggers). Clearly it isn't easy all the time, but so many of us appreciate what you're doing. And although you may not get monetary compensation for all the hard work you put into these vlogs, I hope that all the positive feedback you get acts as some kind of repayment :) Keep up the great work!
    Caoili's picture

    I thought it was funny

    You guys are awesome and thank you for the vlog. I'm still a teenager and don't have that big group of gay friends so I have so much appreciation for you both and everyone on afterellen. 
    CitizenErased's picture

    I <3 you both!

    One of the best vlogs ever. Around the 36min mark, that was really great advice. I don't know what i'd do without this website and the people who make it so great, like you two.

    Rockin' It

    Awesome vlog this week!  You two are so funny together.  Thanks for making it a great start to my Sunday.  I <3 Baby Bridget!!!!

     Also, I love how camera shy Winston is.

    Yay my two favourite ladies in a vlog together. I want to thank you and everyone at AE for just being who they are, it's people like you that make the world a better place.

    I cannot believe Jill is on

    I cannot believe Jill is on today. WOW. SO excited. You guys rock here at AE. For realz :D.
    perfectflaw75's picture

    Awesomeness. Again.

      

    Now I think I understand Moose Lee's infatuation with Jill! Moose Lee doesn't care much for tv, but insists on watching WGN.

     
    And it's good to know I'm not the only one diving on a hard board floor to win some game. Yea... I know I'm that silly.

    "You're touching yourself. Isn't that awkward?"
    "That's happens a lot."
    *LMAO!*

    Yay for Fried Green Tomatoes :) Enjoyed the show and tell loads. Thank you.

    And Bridget? I didn't see any "dirty parts". Whatcha mean by that? Oh, and the part on "dude smell"; I totally get that. Ew - no thanks!

    nothing wrong with serious

    Sometimes the serious stuff is good. It helps balance out funny stuff. It also helps show that even people who seem to have it all together have had to go through difficult times, just like the rest of us.

    I live in a very rural, homophobic area and i'm stuck here for the time being because i'm broke and starting from scratch. Even with a degree, it feels like i'm in a dead-end (i've always wanted to be a director, but my mom all but forced me into changing my major and pursuing more "realistic goals"- and we see how far that's taken me...). I still hold on to my artistic ambitions and getting out of here. So to hear that it is possible to come out of the closet, try to make something of those artistic drives, AND have the support of friends and family helps make life seem a little less bleak.

    So yeah, it really is okay to occasionally mix serious with funny.

    Speaking of funny, i think more than a few of us share your guys' high school experiences. I was in only two plays where i had a female role (and one doesn't quite count because i was actually working backstage and i was drafted as a last minute understudy); all of the other times i've been on stage have been in male roles. No joke. It's like i went through high school in drag. And as for prom, i went with a beard, too. Unfortunately, he was such a charming guy that he made a lasting impression on my mother and she still can't understand why i wouldn't actually date him (or any of my other guy friends).

    Oh well.

    I'm a big fan of..Jill and Bridget!

    I love the two of you, and I have never been more obsessive about a website, refreshing it constantly on the days both of you will be having on the vlogs :D. I look forward to it every week and both of you make me laugh so much! Really appreciate what you guys are doing and taking time off to do the vlogs, I won't know what I'll do w/o them!

    Great advice there, Jill. You're smart,funny,aggresive,strong-willed, you're really a Leo huh! You are just like my ex, quite a handful at times, but most of the times, I just can't get enough!

    And Bridget, you are unbelievably awesome, I will wanna date a women like you someday, really! (Don't you put that modesty pillow on your head now!) :D

    Anneke_bb's picture

    I hate

    the smell of guy sweat too!

    After my first 1,5 hour of training (Basketball)and not being bothered by the smell of my teammates, I move to another field for the next training where there have been guys training and when I come in I'm always like.. IEUWW! But my team mate is like what ^o)

    Anyway :P

    You two are SO awsome! I love you guys.

    BRIDJILL

    What could be better than Bridget and Jill on a Sunday morning?  You were awesome as usual. 

    I really appreciated your candor and sharing some important personal things with us.  That's the beauty of AE.  We get to 'hang out' with you lovely ladies, enjoy your humor and insight, and feel like a part of a great community.

    I think you both deserve any success you may get in your profession.  You really are genuine people and talented as well, and it shows through.  I hope to be watching you both for many many years to come.

    So glad Baby Bridget was reunited with Jill.   Hopefully it takes her mind off of Thunderbolt getting to hang out in the travel segments without her!

    Thanks again ladies for your ever entertaining and delightful selves!  It is greatly appreciated.

    I heart Jill and Bridget

    Sunday mornings are great again! Bridget I would love to meet you. Well, the both of u. It's nice to see Jill's serious side. I think it's wondeful vloggers are being themselves. With all the fake people out there, we need more honesty in this world. We really do. All of u r part of a huge blessing for so many peeps out there. Jill,u r def self-confident and geniune and real. Bridget u're very thoughtful to think about us.

    This was one of the best or top fav BWB vlogs. Very nice indeed!

    I love this episode! Of course I always realized that you have a serious side, but it's also great to see it for a change. I'm not saying I don't love the hilarious part of you too, haha! I think I can say that everybody here loves all the vloggers very much. I'm glad I haven't noticed much hate. I feel love all around! LOL

    Jill Bennett train..Toot toot! It's great to see her back with Baby Bridget!

    The games with Winston were so funny. . He looked as if he really enjoyed them, ha!!! I don't know why he ran away! Probably afraid of what other games she would come up with!

    Bridget, Jill, ....

    When I'm touched and I want to put emotions in words, my language skills vanish. That's too bad, because all I can write is how awesome this vlog is und how awesome you are. All you afterellen vloggers are a true inspiration and I thank you for being who you are, for letting us viewers/readers be a small part of your life and for sharing your thoughts, storys and laughs with us! Thank you! :-)
