Wood shared with us that he and Averick were once told they were "the same person, just in different fonts." He remembered connecting with Averick very quickly and soon they found themselves on the same team, which he believed was a result of "divine intervention."
"They were actually the ones who suggested, 'You two should start a podcast. People enjoy listening to your conversations,'" Wood mentioned, and the rest, as they say, is history.

"It can feel a bit forced with the wrong person, but when you're with the right people, it's a blast," he shared with Us. "It's like being in a small writer's room, a behind-the-scenes peek that's all online. The podcast is really raw, which is pretty amazing."

Wood mentioned that the podcast contains anecdotes that some may not typically share, but both he and Averick are very open about their lives. He humorously added, "Sometimes, I can't believe I actually said that. Let's just put it out there."
In addition to his work on TikTok, Wood sees the podcast as a platform to freely express himself. When asked if there's anything he regrets sharing on the podcast, he jokingly replied, "I pretty much regret everything I say on there."
He told Us that once you put everything out there, it feels like you're invincible because you've already said it all.
Wood shared that he posts content on @fibula when he finds it funny. He believes in not forcing anything and thinks that's the key. If it starts feeling like work and not fun, you lose the authenticity.
Wood, with over 800,000 TikTok followers, shared that his videos started attracting attention from celebrities around the time Outer Banks was released. He mentioned how he initially thought his content was only reaching regular viewers until he noticed comments from Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline. As he was making jokes about Outer Banks, he realized he needed to be more careful with his content now that there was a direct connection to the actors.
