My Jack Black Scandal, High School SWAT Riots, & Terrorizing Hilary Duff (Guest Brooke Ashley) | Ep. 360

When Brooke Ashley was a kid, she grew up as a "Valley Girl" navigating high school in Van Nuys—a place where SWAT teams would descend in full tactical gear to break up riots. Known as the "dragon lady" who protected her group of friends, she spent her days auditioning for commercials and accidentally terrorizing Hilary Duff at the Gap. Somehow she survived, only to find herself at the center of a bizarre family mix-up that turned Jack Black into her #1 mortal enemy.Follow Brooke on insta: @tallbrownoneMore episodes at gladpod.comWatch the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/35JLnPzlXjUTopics & Keywords for Search: childhood stories, Valley Girl, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, SWAT team, high school riot, School of Rock, Jack Black, Hilary Duff, celebrity encounters, Uncle Daddy, talent show fail, funny memories, storytelling podcast, family stories, comedy interview, Brooke Ashley, 90s nostalgia.
