On this episode of the commercial break.
Maybe it's because I know how miserable working through a drive-through is.
I don't want to subject people to that.
Maybe it's because I don't like to sit in that fucking line
and be bothered by everybody in front and in back of me.
But I mean, they still would have seen the white powder.
But then at least, you know, oh, Brian's having a little quick, you know, toot and snoot
before he gets his weekend started.
Yeah, a little morning toot and snoot.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Yeah, boy!
Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break.
I'm Brian Green. This is the damsel certainly not in distress, Kristin Joy Hoadley, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green.
This is the damsel certainly not in distress,
Kristin Joy Hoadley.
Best of you, Chrissy.
Best of you, Brian.
And best of you out there in the podcast universe.
Thanks for joining us.
I know, are you feeling convivial?
I am feeling convivial today.
All right.
Thank you for sharing with me
the wonderful world of conviviality.
Yes, it's fun.
Now I'm gonna use that word every third word
so I can make myself sound important, Chrissy.
Important!
I saw like a very distressing ad on Instagram the other day.
How long have you had your mattress for,
your current mattress?
Oh, we got it during the pandemic, so four years.
Okay, so not that long, not that long. What about your pillows?
No, I change those out pretty regular. Like once a year.
Once a year?
Yeah.
Once a year?
Well, there's some special.
How much are we paying you? Once a year? Geez.
Well, I'm also, I'm never quite satisfied with my pillows.
No, I'm never quite satisfied with mine either.
And then I'll go back to ones. Like I don't throw them away necessarily.
You have a pillow closet?
I just rotate. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah go back to ones, like I don't throw them away necessarily. I just rotate.
You have a pillow closet?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, gotcha.
Yeah, hey, listen, that's a good way to do it.
I cannot find, I have one pillow, one pillow,
and I've had that pillow for about four years,
probably the entirety of the pandemic since we started this.
And I think that pillow is pretty darn okay.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. It's not okay all nights, it's not great
most nights, but it does the trick sometimes. And I feel like that's the best it's going to get.
And I think that this feels kind of sad for me in my life, like that the best I'm going to get
is this pillow that kind of does the trick. I can just never find a pillow that really works.
I know. They're either too hard, too soft. That's it. I mean, basically too hard, too soft.
I like a heavy, soft pillow,
but I don't want my neck to be too cricked.
Well, that's the thing.
You need the neck support,
or you will wake up with a crick.
Yeah. Crick in your neck.
You know, I feel like-
Is that the correct terminology?
A crick in your neck?
I don't know. Who came up with that?
What is a crick and why is it in your neck?
I know what a crick is on Mountain Monsters. That's a body of small body of water flowing north
to south. But I don't know what a crick in your neck is, but I've never known. But I'll
tell you what, when I go to the chiropractor, it gets that crick right out of my neck.
Yeah, they do.
I hear it.
Oh yeah, the neck pop at the chiropractor.
I love it.
Oh, me too.
Oh, it's the best thing in the world.
It is.
It's sweet relief. It's just sweet relief.
It's like I live for the neck crack
because I can't do it on my own.
A lot of the back stuff I can figure out
how to do on my own.
And I'm a back cracker, man.
I'm always twisting my back.
It's always some kind of like a fucked up.
And so I've learned a lot of exercises and stretches.
Yeah, foam roller is good for that too.
To get into those deep spots.
But that neck one, I used to be able to pop my neck,
like just pull it and pop it.
And I loved it because if I was feeling a little out of whack,
I could pop it and then it felt much better.
But I lost that ability.
I don't know what happened.
My neck something.
Maybe it's because I'm going to a chiropractor
and it's not so fucked up anymore.
I don't know.
Anyway, I saw an ad for a something.
I'm not going to mention the name here.
I'm not giving away free advertising. We're barely getting paid advertising. But what I saw disturbed me
because the person who looked like a doctor, they had the doctor's outfit on, they said that after
two years, almost 20% of the weight of the pillow is dust mites and dust mite shit.
No, I'm just talking about the dust mites.
Dust mites and dust mite shit.
And now he's advising us to not make our beds
because the natural sunlight kills the dust mites.
And when you make the bed, you keep them living and growing.
And I can't deal with this.
It makes my OCD go into high drive, both things.
I'm damned if I do, I'm god damned if I don't.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I don't want to think about the fact
that my four year old pillow is 40% dust mites.
But at the same time, I don't want to think
about walking into my room without a made bed.
It drives me insane.
That's why I like hotels,
because they really do it right when they,
I mean, if you go to the right hotel, they really do it right when they make those beds. And I love
it. I love a good made bed. I like to lay on top of my made bed and take a nap. I don't even bother
the sheets. Like I don't want to... I do the same thing and I have a blankie for that, for my nap.
It's my nap blankie. That should be the only way we're allowed to take naps. The only way you're
allowed to take naps is to lay on a bed that is made and put a dainty little blanket on you, because in the middle of the afternoon,
you really need the whole shebang. You don't, because then you're just going to fall asleep for
hours. But dainty little blanket on, we should put this in the notebook, in the treaty, because
this is really important, I feel like. I feel like some people are doing this a lot, very wrong.
I've seen people, I've been with people, I've known people who get in
to the bed as if they're going to bed at night.
Jeff says it.
I can't take it. What's wrong with his brain?
I know, I'm like, why?
What is wrong with him?
No.
This is craziness. But now we have doctors. And so, I Googled this and I find a litany,
literally, a gander of doctors that are out there telling us the same exact thing.
To just lay on top of the made bed?
No, is that you should be keeping your bed unmade every day. They say change your sheets
about once a week and keep your bed unmade. I do change the sheets once a week or so.
We definitely change them once a week. Yeah, but we have kids who do all kind of weird shit in there.
And then we have us who do all kinds of weird shit in there.
And then we have us who do all kinds of weird shit in there too.
But that pillow, I love that pillow.
And just the thought of having to give it up because there's dust mite shit all
collecting in there is making me very sad.
And I'm stressed about it.
I really am stressed about it, actually.
I went to bed last night thinking about it.
Can you not get a new one that's the same pillow?
I don't even remember where I got it.
I got the pillow from Bed Bath Beyond.
They don't even exist anymore.
They're done. Now they're online. Now they I got the pillow from Bed Bath Beyond. They don't even exist anymore. They're done.
Now they're online.
Now they're like, you know, the Amazon of bedding stores.
But how do I try out a pillow if I can't physically hold it?
You know what I'm saying?
Where do I go?
Target, Walmart, I guess.
But do they have it?
You could have a place that has a good return policy.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
But don't they treat pillows like they treat shoes?
Like if they see a little scuff mark,
they're not gonna bring it back. I don't know. It depends on the store. Yeah, I'll bring. That's true. But don't they treat pillows like they treat shoes? Like if they see a little scuff mark, they're not going to bring it back?
Mm. I don't know. It depends on the store.
Yeah. I'll bring it back two years from now when the dust mites are all set.
I mean, this is just, it's just weird. It took me so long to find this pillow.
And now I have to think about the fact that there are dust mites just running all over me at night.
Makes me sick to my stomach.
But I also-
There's also like skin that I've heard too, like-
Yeah, I'm not so worried about that.
And sweat.
Because I take a three hour shower before I go to bed.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And I exfoliate.
So I'm, you know, I'm not too, too worried about that.
And that's not living.
That's not alive.
What I'm worried about is the alive stuff, the dust mice.
God damn, Chrissy.
Really, the longer I live, the more things
I'm supposed to be scared of. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, I should have known
this my entire life. Like, I should have known my entire life when my dad was telling me
to make my bed, that in fact, I should have never been making my bed.
Beth Dombkowski That's right.
Jared Liesveld I mean, my dad would go crazy if he heard
this information. Crazy.
Beth Dombkowski So, what do you, I mean, I guess there's a
way, right way to do it and that would just be that you maybe fold, fold your sheets and you're bedding down to the...
Listen, these doctors...
I definitely couldn't have like scattered...
No, no.
Comforters and things.
No, you're making me sick just talking about it.
Listen to me, Kristen Joy Hoadley, listen to me.
These fucking doctors in this fucking video, and then additional research that I did, they
are literally showing beds like you just popped out of bed, right? Not that you folded it,
you didn't make your pillows, you didn't fluff them up, you didn't put them against the headboard,
literally like you slept. That's how they're showing. That's what they're showing in the
stock footage of.
Really?
Yes. And so how am I supposed to be a human being and do this? Doesn't make any sense.
Listen, if we were in the middle of a human being and do this? It doesn't make any sense. Listen,
if we were in the middle of a nuclear war and everything had gone to hell in a hand basket,
I could at least have some comfort in knowing that my bed would be made when I got home.
Yeah, it would be made every day.
Yeah, well, because there's nothing like getting into a maid bed.
Nothing! There's no nothing on earth like it.
I can't think of anything else.
It's like a warm cover.
It's like the, you know, I mean, I hate to put it this way, but I'm going to put it this
way.
It's like the perfect penis or the perfect vagina.
You find it, you stick with it.
You know what I'm saying?
You make your bed because it's the perfect thing.
There is nothing quite like pulling down those sheets at night.
Exactly, slipping into the covers.
Sliding in.
Yeah, I know.
And it doesn't feel the same if you just...
Sliding.
It doesn't feel the same as when you got into the bed.
No, it doesn't.
You had to pull up rumpled
covers.
Yeah, I had to pull up rumpled covers, and I think about all the flop sweat I had last
night.
But somehow it magically goes away if I put my sheets up and tighten them, and everything's
good.
I can't take this.
I can't take it.
I'm really distressed.
I'm super distressed about this.
Of all the things I got going on in my life that I have to be stressed about, what I'm really stressed about is not making my bed. That's what I'm
stressed about. I cannot take it any longer.
Well, it's the things you can control.
Yes, it's one of the things that I can control in my life. You're right about that. And it's
something that also makes me feel very good. When I walk into my room, you know, you go
into your, I don't know, I work from the house, obviously, but I go into my room, you know, you go into your, I don't know, I work from the house, obviously,
but I go into my room multiple times a day. Sometimes I take phone calls in there, whatever
I'm doing, I want to go watch a, you know, five seconds worth of TV before one of my
kids screams at me, whatever it is. When I go in there, there is some kind of, there's
some level of satisfaction, love. I am so madly in love with my wife, but I'm equally and madly in love with my maid, Ben.
I don't know how to say it any other way.
It's just the way that I feel.
That is important.
It really is.
We spend what, there's, you know, what, something.
You spend half your life there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If it's half.
I don't know.
What are you, what are the single people doing?
The people without kids.
I don't know, they spend half their life in there. That's what I feel like. Yeah. I see all these kids, tick-tocking and
tweeting and all that Instagramming or whatever it is, Insta-ing. And I'm telling you what,
they're all in bed. I've seen, there's now podcasts where people are just laying in bed.
Who's that girl? You've seen the girl? What's her name? You know what I'm talking about? The
girl everyone's crazy about. It almost dated Drake or they broke up or, you know, I'm talking,
I can't remember the girl's name. She's doing a podcast for bed. You know what I'm talking about? The girl everyone's crazy about, it almost dated Drake or they broke up or, you know what I'm talking about.
I can't remember the girl's name.
She's doing a podcast for bed.
Well, so did Megan Mullally and her husband
did a podcast that was all in bed.
Well, was the bed made is all I gotta know.
That's my question.
They were laying down in the covers?
They were in it, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Listen, I just cannot get on board with this.
No matter how sick it's going to eventually make me,
I'm going to continue to make my bed
as long as these hands will pull up the covers.
I guarantee you the people that are living
to these great old ages.
Make their bed.
Make their bed.
I most likely make their bed
and have been sleeping on older pillows.
My mental health is so much more important than dust mites.
My physical health.
That's right.
Listen, this body's going to go.
It's already gone.
There's no use for it anymore.
But this mind, this mind is still 50% of what it was at its heyday, right? And I got to
keep it that way. And so, I can't be worrying when I'm out there in the wild jungle of, you know,
dodging Karens and Starbucks idiots and, you know, driving like morons. When I have to go out there
in the world, it's very big and scary place for everyone right now. When I have to go out there,
I often think about my maid bed. That's what I think about.
Beth Dombkowski
Don't think that. But even if I'm running late, I will quickly make the bed. I did it today.
Jared Sienkiewicz Oh, yeah.
Beth Dombkowski
You know.
Beth Dombkowski I was like, gotta make that bed.
Jared Sienkiewicz When I'm have, God bless this child,
I don't know why she stays with me. I will make the bed, no matter what I will make the bed. And
I do chores. I'm not afraid of any of that stuff. Housework, as much as
I'm allowed to, I go in on it. But most, at least weekdays, I go in to do the morning press conference with the kids. I have my, in my bathroom with my coffee and my important reading materials.
And the kids come in and sit around, stand around me and we all, yeah. And we all talk, we conversate.
When I'm giving my morning press conference, Astrid's making
that bed because that's what she does. She just comes in, she makes the bed. This is
just nothing like it. It fills my heart with joy that she took the time to do that and
then it fills my heart with joy that it's done. And I just love it. And I make the bed
on the weekends usually, you know, I'm the one, I get up there, I pull up the covers.
And there's just a certain way to do it. There's a certain finesse about it that we like. And I can't think of giving
that up for nothing. I am a heroin addict with bedsheets. That's what it is. That's
what I'm saying, kids. And I just can't be bothered with any of this scientific bullshit.
Now I know what the vaccine people were talking about. You know what I'm saying? Fuck science.
Let's go backwards. That's all I care about.
Let's do it. I'm all about it. And I'm not giving up that pillow quite yet because I got to go find
another one. And where is there a pillow store? Who's got a pillow store? Macy's, I guess.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've gotten some pillows from Macy's and those are pretty good. There's another
couple of sites that I could tell you about. Okay, yeah, please do. I'd rather a place where I can go and physically interact with the pillow.
I got to Macy's and I, like, the last time I bought a bed, I went to Macy's. I was there for six hours.
And five and a half of those hours.
What's that?
I'd say any mall or bedding stores. I mean, like mattress stores have pillows.
Yeah, I've tried those pillows out,
like from the mattress firms and places like that.
And I find that they just carry their brand of pillows
and maybe one other.
And they're like those,
I don't know why people like these type of pillows,
but they're a little bit lighter and they're puffy, you know?
And you have to like actually lay on them
and then it lets some of the air out,
but it's like puffy and it makes my neck hurt.
No, I want flat and mushy.
I want mashed potatoes in my pot.
I like foam.
You like foam?
Yeah.
Yeah, do you guys have a foam mattress top?
No.
No, okay, either do we.
Yeah, I'm not going for that.
And you know what we did this last time we got a mattress?
We did put one of those hermetically sealed
mattress covers on it.
Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. The kind that like zip up, right? And you getmetically sealed mattress covers on it. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
The kind that like zip up, right?
We can spill anything on it
and it's not gonna get to the mattress.
So maybe in that sense,
I'm a little less scared of the dust mites
because I know they're very small
and they could probably get through the little holes in that.
Even though water can't penetrate it,
the fucking dust mites will.
Maybe you need a pillow maybe
maybe just think about a new pillow cover yeah I got the cover that I like I just
got to find a pillow that fits in there and here's the thing send me to a store
I need to make a day out of it because last time I went for a mattress I
asked her and I were there about six hours and about five and a half hours of
that was me taking like 15 minute naps on each bed. And you think I'm kidding, I'm not.
I was driving this salesperson fucking bananas.
Because he'd be like, oh, here's our Sealy, Posturepedic, queen size, Bob, DVD, ba-da-ba-doo,
whatever he was saying.
And I'd be taking a nap.
I'd be sleeping while he was talking.
But we had just had our 53rd child and I was like...
Right. You were taking a nap. like, You were taking a nap.
Oh, I was taking a nap.
Yes. And then I started, and then forget about it. When I got to the pillow section, oh, forget about it.
The guy was like, he was absolutely going insane.
But even the nice mattress store that we went to did not have great pillows.
I had to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and I had to find one of these, you know, off-brand pillows, it's very heavy,
it's weighted, and it's just, it is like, like really firm mashed potatoes is all I
can say. And it is great, one of the seven nights a week, and then the other nights,
and how is that possible? How can I not like it every night of the week? How is that possible?
Am I such a persnickety human being that I really can't live with a pillow
full seven days?
You need to keep rotating.
Oh, I'm going to be rotating. Don't you worry about it. I'm going to be rotating.
I would rather switch out mattresses every morning than not make my bed. That's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to have seven mattresses and I'm just going to rotate them and the other six
days are going to be left out in the sun to kill all the dust mites. That's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna have seven mattresses and I'm just gonna rotate them and the other six days are gonna be left out in the sun
to kill all the dust mites.
That's what I'm gonna do.
There you go.
Start hanging my sheets outside the window.
Why don't you put your pillow out there?
Put your pillow out in the sun.
Yeah, I know.
I asked her, you gotta get rid of that fucking pillow.
I know, I made Jeff just get rid of one too.
I was like, I was like, we bought that.
I remember buying that like right around the time
we were getting serious and that's 10 years ago.
Oh, did you really?
Yeah, I was like, we gotta get rid of that.
Oh my God.
Time for a new one.
Oh, poor Jeff.
He wouldn't have known, he was like, what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Because I do, I buy pillows all the time,
I'm always switching stuff out, bedding wise.
And so he probably just thought that was a new one.
He probably thought that that was the same pillow.
I think maybe Astrid's doing that too,
but I just haven't noticed yet.
Maybe that's why it's only comfortable part of the time
is because she's actually just switching pillows
until I say, I got a good night's sleep.
And Astrid is always so concerned with my sleep.
Let me tell you something.
Sleep's important.
I know, but with the children and with all of the comings and goings of the kids
and our lives, I either am feeling a little bit stressed out at the end of the day or
because the next day is already coming and I don't want to think about it, or it's just
uncomfortable to sleep because there's a lot of commotion sometimes that happens in the
middle of the night, that the last five or six years have not been the greatest sleeping years of my life. I'm not getting great sleep all the time.
And I'd say probably, if I get two really good stretches of sleep a week, like a good four to
six hour stretch where I'm uninterrupted, my eyes are closed, and I wake up feeling a little bit
refreshed, that is a good week. Because the other five or six nights of the week,
I am just miserable.
I'm just tossing and turning and miserable.
And so I feel like I need to give myself
the best possible opportunity to have a good night's sleep
by making sure that my fucking pillow is comfortable.
That's right.
And so if it's got 12 pounds of dust mites in it,
well then damn be it.
Those dust mites and I are going down together.
That's right.
We're all going down together.
Everybody's gonna get asleep. That's right. Everybody's all going down together. Everybody's going to get asleep.
That's right.
Everybody's going to sleep together.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, as long as they're sleeping, I guess I can live with them.
That's right.
But I'll tell you what, I'll be fucking goddamn before I start not making my bed.
I want to hear from those of you who do not make your bed, because I know there's some
of you nasty motherfuckers out there.
212-433-3TCB, I want to hear, do you not make your bed because you're lazy or do you not make your bed
because of some other reason? And I do know, personally know people in my life, and I have
dated people who don't make the bed. And that is a deal breaker. It was a deal breaker. Yeah,
now I'd let it drag on for a couple months because it's hard to find a girlfriend these days, but,
you know, that's neither here nor there, Chrissy.
Not talking about that part of the story.
No, not yet.
Okay.
We have lots more chat to come.
I promise we'll drop the pillows for right now, but I'll be back to it.
Don't you worry.
I'm following up on this one.
This one is going to, it's going to get stuck in my craw.
I guarantee.
I know my OCD.
Like a crick in the neck.
Like a crick in the neck.
I gotta go pop it out.
All right.
Let's take a break and then, uh, yeah, we'll be back.

And you know, I know you're happy to hear from us.
So.
We're back feeling rested.
We're feeling refreshed.
I just went and took a nap with 20 billion of my little friends. And I know you're happy to hear from us. So. We're back feeling rested. We're feeling. Refreshed.
I just went and took a nap with 20 billion
of my little friends.
All right, so you know something,
I have a little red here on my lip.
Now that you pointed out.
Yeah, okay.
Little red on my lip.
You know, when I was a kid,
I had a really bad case of acne.
Like they called it cystic acne.
And it was fucking miserable.
Because being 13 years old is difficult enough as it is.
But then have literal moons show up on your face
from one day to the other that are huge, red,
and impossible to get rid of.
And life is a nightmare.
Now, luckily I have my award winning personality
to go along with it.
I actually think this is part of it.
That's where you developed it?
I think it's part of where I started to develop my love
of the comic sensibility.
Like my sensibilities as far as comedy was concerned.
Yeah, I was gonna laugh or I was gonna cry.
And either I was gonna laugh at myself first and beat them to the punch or they were going
to laugh at me.
But if I could laugh along with them or make them laugh even harder than they were already
laughing at me, then there was some justice in it or there was some comfort in that.
So, but I had to take this medicine called Accutane.
Accutane is now banned.
Yeah, Jeff had to do the same thing. Oh, he did? He called Accutane. Accutane is now banned. Yeah, Jeff had to do the same thing.
Oh, he did? He took Accutane? Oh, I think actually Jeff and I talked about this.
And it was a no joke medication. That medication made you shed skin like a dog sheds hair. It was
insane. Your skin was constantly peeling. Your face was constantly red and dry, and what it was doing was killing
the oil pores, essentially. So, and this actually is part of the reason how I got addicted to kind
of tanning, right? Because I had no interest in the sun until I turned about 15 years old,
took Accutane, and the doctor's orders were this, stay the fuck out of the sun
for the next six months while you do this, right? And at that time, they didn't know that Accutane
also caused serious psychological issues.
Danielle Pletka And like a kidney or liver damage,
something like that.
Jared Svelick I don't know. I'm still here, so I guess it didn't for me. But I think the thing
they found first was there was a very high instance of suicide on people that
were taking this particular drug because it was driving them crazy.
And now that I think back, or when I, you know, I realized this probably 15 years ago,
but when I looked back on it, when all the conversation about Accutane started coming
up, when I looked back on it, there was some, I was going through some serious emotional
issues during that period of time.
It did affect me in that way, I'm sure of it.
But it sure did take care of the acne, right?
I mean, yeah.
At least that part was knocked out.
I mean, basically caused me to go crazy, but I didn't have a zit to be found.
It really cleared my skin up.
It worked like magic.
I had no more cystic acne. So,
I took it for about six months. I dealt with it for about another six months after that.
And then just slowly it went away. So, about a year and a half later, I just never dealt with
acne again. But the doctor said, stay out of the sun while you're on it for the year,
while you're on it, and then six months later. But then you may need to see yourself get in the sun or a tanning bed or UV light or whatever, you know, on a frequent basis-ish to make sure that
your skin stays dry, right? And so that, and he said also-
Doctors orders!
Doctors orders! That's what I've been saying. Now, my new doctor, dermatologist, says that is
bullshit. That is bullshit. I don't know who told you that, but that's not how it works,
right? Okay, but whatever. I'm going to listen to the first doctor because he was back in the
90s when everything was hot to try, the Zazz 90s. You know what I'm saying? Whizbang 90s.
But I say all this to say that he also told me that we don't know that Accutane lasts forever.
We don't know that it kills your oil pores or the cystic acne or whatever's called, whatever
the reason why I was getting it.
We don't know that it takes care of it forever.
We just think it'll take care of it for a period of time.
So you may end up dealing with this later on in life, which I haven't, luckily.
But now every once in a while, I'll get a zit here and there, like everybody else, right?
But what I've found is, since I got this beard, I find that oftentimes I'll get a zit under the beard,
right? And then it'll combo, it'll team up with a hair follicle to get an ingrown hair slash
pimple. Do you know what I'm saying? Oftentimes right on top of each other or right next door
to each other. So it's like a double mess going on. And sometimes it happens right here on my
upper lip where my beard meets my lip.
So I wake up whenever, a couple days ago,
and then I can feel it.
You know, you can't see it, but you can feel it.
You're like, oh fuck, motherfucker.
And so I got that benzoyl peroxide shit
that everybody has sitting somewhere in their cabin.
It's probably crusty white shit falling all over it.
And you know, I go, I probably had the same bottle
for 10 years.
Oh yeah, because you still use it on a regular basis.
I don't use it, I have three, four times a year.
I think I had to throw ours out recently.
I was cleaning out the medicine cabinet
and was like, oh, that expired like five years ago.
I think I still have clear cell
from back when I was taking Accutane.
And I use it, you know, I'm like, oh, whatever.
And so I dab a little bit, oh, okay.
So, and then I had one like right under my nose
right here, right?
So, I dab a little bit here on my lip and I dab a little bit on my nose.
So, I got two white spots right there and then I go to bed, go to sleep.
With your dust mites.
With my dust mites, my dust mite buddies and my mashed potato pillow.
But my bed was made and that's what's important. So I wake up the next day
and as I often do, I run to the kitchen to go get my coffee and I hurry to the bathroom
to release that coffee into the wild. So I go and I realize that this is how I do it.
I get a nice large cup of coffee and I don't drink the whole thing because I can't take
that much caffeine in the day, but then I have a leftover for the next day and then
I rinse and repeat.
Oh, you do like a half.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah, half and half.
And so I'll throw the other half into a new cup and then I got that for tomorrow and so
on and so forth and I just switch out cups every day, right?
So I go in there, but every once in a blue moon, the schedule gets fucked up for some
reason and I don't have my full half cup of coffee ready for the next morning.
And so to my chagrin, it was a weekend day,
and I didn't have my full half cup of coffee.
I was very good at full half, the full half.
It's gotta be full to the half.
It's gotta be right up to the half full level.
Oh, you're so funny.
I like your routine, your sense of routine.
My cystic acne caused me to be that funny.
All right, so kids are running around,
morning press conference, I'm out of coffee.
So I run out to Astrid, I say, I gotta go.
I gotta go into the coffee shop right now.
It's very important, can you make the bed?
I actually made the bed, Then I went. So,
of course, honey, you know, okay, I'll be back in a few minutes. So, I go up to Starbucks,
get out of the car, go to Starbucks. I haven't showered or anything. I walk into the Starbucks
and the young lady, who I know, and I've known probably for two years now, is just like staring
at me, like with her head cock like this. And I'm like, what is going on?
Why is that?
She gave me kind of a weird look, right?
She's like, the usual?
And I'm like, yeah.
And she's like straining her face a little bit, the usual.
And I'm like, what is weird?
And then all the little baristas, not little baristas,
the baristas that I know are back there doing,
hey Brian, hey, hey.
And every time someone says hi, hey and looks up to me,
they're like, hey.
They're doing like a double take.
They're doing a double take.
I'm like, am I a booger?
What's going on?
I mean, you know, what's going on?
Are they mad at me for some reason?
Okay, now I wanna show you exactly why the baristas
were looking at me in this weird way, Chrissy.
And it doesn't take a genius to figure this out.
I had not washed my face before I went
to the coffee shop. So, the white stuff was still stuck. Now, luckily, over the course of the night,
I guess it rubbed off my lip, but I had not, unfortunately, taken it off of my nose.
So, this is how I walked into the Starbucks. Today we're wondering if you actually did need coffee because it looks like you just
snorted it up.
Yes, I had a long night at the office and I have cocaine stuck directly under my nose.
I mean, if I saw that, if I saw that, I'd be like, holy shit, that bro's hardcore. That bro is hardcore.
Look at him. He just walked in here with a fucking, just did a key bump.
Into the coffee store.
Yeah, into the coffee store. That's right. To get more high. I mean, these people were
rightfully looking at me like I was an insane person.
Usual?
Yeah, the usual? Are you sure?
Should we call an ambulance?
Because I walk in there all stressed out that I don't have coffee.
My eyes are probably bulging because I don't have, you know, I'm having caffeine withdrawal.
I'm like, ah, I need some coffee.
And they're probably like, no, no, you don't actually.
Settle down, Brian.
The manager comes over, puts her arm around me.
Listen, I've had friends that have gone through this before. We can help.
It works if you work it.
Have you gone to AA, NA, anything like that?
Chrissy, I got fucking white shit all up in my nose
and on my beard, and it looks like I have done cocaine.
I mean, exactly like I had just done a bump
and it had come off on my beard.
It was unbelievable. So you didn't even realize this until you got back in the car, maybe?
I didn't realize it until I got into the shower. I took one, you know, I try not to look at myself
too much, but then there's a mirror right near the shower and I just looked over and I was like,
what is that? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, because you can't take that back. And if you walk in making
excuses, then they think you have more of a problem than you actually do. Now they're
like, well, denial is the first step.
Right. You're just going to have to move past it.
That's right. Denial is the first part of addiction. And I'm like, oh, I just have to
glide by it.
Or you could make fun of it, you know, and you could just go in the next time with two.
Yes.
And just continue this.
Listen, I should do this. I just keep up this running joke of going into the Starbucks every day.
Yes, I should lean into it. I can do one of two things. I can ignore, I can do one of three things.
I can ignore it, which I have done so far. I can address it like, hey, remember the other day when I had cocaine under my nose?
And he can't do that.
It just clears up. No, you can't do that. Because of course they're going to be like, sure, Brian, I'm 25 years old.
I know what a long night looks like. And you look like a long night every time you come in here. Or number three, I just keep it going.
And then someone will eventually ask, what's that? And I'll'll go. Oh when I was 15 years old I had six acne
I could tell the story
Or maybe you could like be in there while you're waiting you place your order and you're waiting and maybe you could just whip out
The the baggie. Yeah. Oh, yeah
You're like I have to do this treatment.
Get a little compact mirror and be like.
I have to do this treatment.
It's this treatment.
It's for my stastegacne.
It's a preventative measure.
Or I could take out a little baggie with like baking powder in it and just be like, and
see if anybody stops me because it's 2024 and I don't think anybody would actually.
I don't think so would actually. I think
I'd be on Instagram before anybody would say anything to me. I mean, it was the most embarrassing
fucking thing because there is no good way out of this. None. There's no good way out of it. They
all think I'm a cokehead. I know what's happened. So there's probably 30 people that work at that
Starbucks, right? It's a rotating cast of characters. Every morning you go in there, it's like,
it's, you know, I don't know.
It's like those lottery balls jangling around
in that thing when they pick them up.
It's like, you never know who you're gonna get.
But I know almost every one of them,
unless they're new or visiting for another store.
And so I know how the restaurant business works.
Instant, there's a WhatsApp group, you know,
Starbucks North of Atlanta, you know,
Chitty Chat group or whatever.
And they're probably like,
if someone took a picture, for sure, I just know.
Someone took a picture.
Did you see Brian today?
Yeah, look at Brian.
Now we know what he does for a living.
Coke dealer.
So you know that there's an instant.
You could also use the drive-through.
I could, but I don't like the drive-through.
The drive-through at Starbucks is not my thing.
I don't know.
Maybe it's because it's like one of the few
human-adult interactions that I get on a daily basis.
Could be true.
And I like to extend it just a couple extra minutes.
Maybe it's because I know how miserable
working through a drive-through is.
I don't want to subject people to that.
Maybe it's because I don't like to sit in that fucking line and be bothered by everybody in front and in back of me.
But had I, I mean, they still would have seen the white powder, but then at least, you know,
oh, Brian's having a little quick, you know, toot and snoot before he gets his weekend started.
Yeah, a little morning toot and snoot. But now there's no good way. So, I'm just praying and I don't think there's almost anybody.
Here's also why I really like the Starbucks, because they're all so young up there. I know
there's zero chance they're ever going to find the commercial break. And no one's ever
asked me what I do for a living. And I like it that way. It's not Starbucks kind of conversation.
It avoids questions. So, you know, but I'm saying this out loud in the hopes
that the people at my Starbucks will have actually listened to this episode and they'll go, oh,
Brian, but maybe they'll go, oh, Brian was making excuses for the cocaine on his face the other day.
It's all going to seem like an excuse. Yeah. Just know, just know this. I was talking to
my friend, Rafa, about this. When Raphael had children, he had them young. He had them, yeah, his wife was 18, 19 years old when they had their first child.
And Rapha was, I think we were probably, I want to say 25, 26 years old. So he was probably 25,
26 years old when he had his first child. He didn't miss a beat. He continued to do exactly what he was doing previous to that.
He partied right through.
But awesome father, don't get me wrong,
but he found a way to fit it all in.
Yeah.
At my age, at my advanced age, there is no fucking way.
I don't even drink anymore because I can't.
Astrid went out the other night,
and she's
much younger than I am. But she goes, and we're not huge drinkers, but she goes out
the other night or the other afternoon with some friends and she has one glass of wine
with her friends, one glass of red wine at this lunch that they went to. And then she's
supposed to go to a concert later on that night. Well, she looks at me about an hour
after she got home from the lunch, she goes, I'm fucking hungover. And I go, I know, see,
that's what happens. You know, first of all, never drink red wine in the afternoon.
Just a bad idea.
Yeah, day drinking red wine.
Day drinking red wine, no, no, no, no. That's strictly for night before you go to bed. But
second of all, that's what fucking happens. So, and now every time I drink an alcoholic
drink, you know, glass of champagne, a beer, a couple of gin and tonics, whatever it is,
I always get this like mild, irritating hangover
and I could never be with my children in that state of mind because I know that I would just
lash out. Right? Right? And so there's, if I can't even drink a fucking beer with all these kids,
there's no way that I could be doing cocaine. Zero, zero chances that that's ever going to happen again.
Yeah.
And I was telling Rafa, I said, listen, I saw this video and I showed it to Chrissy
and Tina about the people in Eastern Europe, we'll call them travelers, who were having this big
party and they were sniffing these older ladies, much older ladies, like 70s, 80s, maybe 90s, were doing huge rails. I mean,
they were getting that shit. They're doing huge rails and then cut scene. And then next,
they're all dancing out on the party on the dance floor, having a party. This is the way
you fucking do it. You have nothing left to lose. This is the time when you enjoy. No,
I'm saying start up when you get older. Now Now, by the time my last kid leaves the house,
I'll be 97 and I don't think that anyone's gonna advise
97 year olds to do cocaine,
but who fucking cares at that point, right?
I've lived a good life, what else do I gotta go for?
I mean, unless they find a way to make me look like this
at 97, I'm gonna be like, ah, whatever, it's all good.
So I might get back to it later on in life.
But there's a moratorium on it right now whatever, it's all good. So I might get back to it later on in life. Yeah, I've got a pin in it.
There's a moratorium on it right now,
and for good reason.
Brian is not Raphael.
I cannot handle it.
I'm not saying Raphael did cocaine.
I'm just saying that Raphael continued
to be a young adult, right?
He continued to go to parties and hang out,
and he would bring the kids and they would have fun.
I just don't, I don't see that happening for me.
I don't get invited to parties anymore. I just don't. I just don't. Well, I never
got invited to party parties in the first place, but I managed to, you know, glom on to somebody
else and get to the party. I was always the plus one, never the invited, always the guy who just
showed up at the front door. But, you know, I'd bring like a six pack of Budweiser
or something.
Yeah, but that I'd fully intend to drink myself.
Because no one likes Budweiser.
People would be like, oh great, you brought some,
what is that, Bud Light?
Oh yeah, all right, well, there's a cooler outside
with no ice in it if you want to throw that in there.
There's some cobwebs, you know that old cooler
everybody keeps in their backyard?
Yeah, that one. Yeah, use that one.
The dirty one from like a camping trip three years ago.
Yeah, probably still has a beer in it.
Floating in old water.
Yeah. And my friend goes, hey, listen, I don't have any room for that in the fridge or the coolers,
but I don't want to use any of
our good ice in for that shitty beer, but I'll tell you what, there's a hose out back and I know
it's August 22nd, but if you can manage to get some cool water out of there, feel free to cool
down your beers. I want to talk about hangovers in just a second, actually. So let's take a short
break and then we'll be back to make your Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon even more miserable
than it probably is. Because there's probably half these people out there have been out
drinking on Wednesday night and now they're like, oh good, the commercial break will give
me a little laugh. And then I go and talk about the hangover the whole day and they're
like, fuck you. All right, we'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all
things audio, video, and TC video. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break
and on TikTok at TCB podcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're
thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB phone number you will
ever have to remember!
So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3TCB.
Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB.
Oh and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash the commercial break.
That's all for now.
Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show.
All right.
So more and more young adults are choosing not to drink.
Yes.
Right.
It's a phenomenon that's happening. I see more and more Instagram
posts about this. I see more and more, because they probably, you know, Instagram just heard
that I was doing cocaine in the middle of the afternoon, so now they're just pointing
those ads in my direction. But I see more and more Instagram posts about this. I see
ads with people giving classes, coaching classes. It's a trend. There's
one guy that I, let me shout him out. I think his name is Scott Frieda or Scott Fried or something
like that. He's on Instagram and he is a recovering alcoholic and he, the most serious kind of
recovering alcoholic. He was like a well-to-do human being. He got married to the love of his
life. They had a yacht, they had this whole nine yards. And then she died of cirrhosis of the liver. And he had very serious
cirrhosis of the liver and he backed himself out of it by sticking to this really strict diet now
he shares with other people. And I actually followed him because I thought he was kind of funny.
And now I see that he's giving all this advice and I'm like, oh, that's great. Anyway, so this
is a big trend and the alcohol industry has seen this trend also
and is making them very nervous because there are many young people who are choosing not to drink
alcohol because there are a lot of other alternatives right now. There's marijuana is legal in a lot of
states. There's other things that you can do. And I also saw a Instagram reel from a eight o'clock in the morning rave on the top of
a New York skyscraper that was completely sober.
It was called a pre-work rave and they were having fucking fun.
I think I read about that too.
Did you read about this?
Yeah, and it does sound like fun.
Listen, everyone's dancing.
Some people are dressed in costumes.
The same thing you would see at a rave.
It was just going on at eight o'clock in the morning.
The sun was coming up,
they're at the top of a building overlooking New York.
It looked really cool actually.
And I can understand why, because drinking is fun.
It's so much fucking fun.
Chrissy and I wouldn't be friends today
if it wasn't for alcohol.
It was the thing that started our bond and then has outlived our bond, not outlived our bond,
but we've outlived the alcohol. But the truth is, alcohol is just poison for your body.
And I loved getting drunk. So I'm not here to throw stones in glass houses or preach.
I loved getting drunk, so I'm not here to throw stones in glass houses or preach. But I was reading this article and it really made me think.
Scientists have figured out why you do the walk of shame, why you feel so fucking terrible
after a long night of drinking.
And I'm not talking about the physical side effects because that shit is miserable.
Headache, thick mouth, eyes bulging, every joint aching,
sick stomach, the whole night, everything hurts.
Aversion to sunlight.
Aversion to anything, wind.
Loud noises.
I know it, I know you in the TCB audience have been there.
You're so hung over that even laying in your bed
hurts. It all hurts. It's like you cannot get comfortable. Maybe a hot shower does the
trick, but that's a big maybe, right? But I'm not talking about those physical consequences
of drinking. I'm talking about the emotional and mental consequences of drinking, where
you wake up and you go, did I really, did I really stick my dick
in somebody's Bud Light bottle last night
and think it was funny?
Did I really do that?
You know what I'm saying?
Or did I really make out with that dude?
Did I really make out with that girl?
But maybe you didn't even do something super embarrassing.
You're just stressed about it.
You're anxious and paranoid
about what the fuck happened last night.
What kind of embarrassing shenanigans did I get into?
Or does everybody hate me now?
There's a reason, a scientific reason why you feel that way.
When you start drinking, your body naturally produces something having to do with a gab
of something, right?
And it makes your inhibitions lower,
your anxieties go down,
because that's what alcohol does to your body,
because it does to your brain, right?
So you're now firing off all these,
let's call them GABA peptoids,
even though that's not the word, I just made it up.
And I like making up things here on the commercial break.
So these GABA peptoids are running all over your body
when you start drinking.
And then when you stop drinking, they suck in, right?
It's like they go the opposite direction.
So your blood alcohol level's going up, everything's going great, your blood alcohol level's going
down after being so high, then your body just naturally just kind of doesn't have the jizzy
jazz that it did before.
That causes anxiety.
And that anxiety leads to this paranoia that you feel when
you're hungover or after a long night of drinking. And if you drink more, this happens more frequently.
And even one or two nights of just, you know, having a couple of beers or whatever can cause
this kind of anxiety inducing reaction, a physical reaction from alcohol. And so, it's just another reason for me not
to drink because I am anxious enough as it is. Look at how I freaked out over the fact
that I couldn't make my bed anymore. You think I'm the kind of guy who needs more anxiety?
No, I don't. I have a treaty. I have 35 things in this book that I wish people would stop
doing or start doing and none of them are serious. I mean, none of them, none of them could even
be close to be considered something that would ever happen because people are like, are you
kidding me? We got a Ukraine and Israel and the Gaza strip and you're worried about people
walking on the right side of the goddamn walkway. I'm telling you right now, Chrissy, I don't need another reason to not ever until I turn
92, pick up a drink again.
There you go.
It's making me anxious just thinking about how much anxiety it's going to cause me.
You're making me want to have a drink.
Oh, well.
You're so worked up.
Chrissy's anxious now.
I need a calming glass of wine.
Yeah, she needs a calming glass of wine.
Get that in there.
But for you, it's a little bit, not a little bit, it's a lot different.
And here's, here, let me explain why.
It's because you, not that, not, you know, life is all about perspective.
I'm not saying your life is easier than mine or harder than mine, but you, there's no fear
that in the middle of the night,
somebody fell out of a crib and has to go to the hospital.
It's a totally different.
Or that you know at 6.30 in the morning,
little ones are gonna come knocking on your head, right?
Or that you have to make breakfast
or take them to school or all that other stuff.
Or that American Express is gonna be calling you
any moment now.
Like you don't have any of those same anxieties that I do.
And so I feel like when I do drink, when I do imbibe, I really do get like extra anxious
in the morning.
I'm like, oh, fuck motherfucker.
Like when I go to those-
Your body's not used to it too.
And so yeah.
When I go to those podcast conferences, I always wake up, you know, and I have a couple
drinks, I always wake up a mess.
I'm like, ah, ah, ah. What did I do know, and I have a couple drinks. I always wake up a mess. I'm like
Yeah, I'm not a doctor you're not a nurse no one's gonna die here just fucking podcasting who gives a goddamn shit
Do you get hungover anymore
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean on a rare occasion because I don't do the amount of drinking I used to anymore.
But yeah, you know, you're at a party, you get a little carried away, somebody's pulling
out the tequila.
Oh, when's the last time you did the tequila shot?
Well, yesterday.
No, but there's all these good tequilas now.
So more and more people are, if they do drink, they are drinking tequila
and just like, you know, with this seltzer.
What are you drinking that? Maui, Waui, Paui shit? What is that stuff that Sammy Hagar
has? What is that thing he does out of Cabo? Cabo Wabo? You drinking that Cabo Wabo?
No, we were doing the Casamigos, the George Clooney.
Oh, George Clooney's in on it now.
Oh yeah, he's been on, they sold their company
for like a billion dollars.
What is that?
I have no fucking clue what that is.
Oh, it's my watch.
My daughter likes me when I put on the Mickey Mouse
watch face, cause it goes like this.
It's two, 52.
She'll tap that thing seventy times in a second.
So wait, Clooney sold his liquor company for a billion dollars?
Yeah.
Fuck that guy.
Come on this show, George.
Come on this show.
I want to talk to you about that.
He's got that house in Italy, Lake Cuomo, right?
And now he's selling for a billion dollars.
He just sold the liquor brand for a billion dollars. What can't that guy do?
He can. He can do no wrong.
He can do no wrong. It's like one of the, my, you know, great actor, he's always good
in whatever he's in. You know, he's a handsome, handsome man. So much more handsome than I
am. Why him? Why not me? Can God give me a little bit of what He's got? You know what I'm saying?
Little dusting.
If there's a pile of good looking balls that they give you when you're heading down into this body,
couldn't they just push a few extra, take a few away from him? He'd still be a very handsome man
if he was like 20% less handsome, but it would make a world of difference to me. Or give me some
of his talent, like acting or, you know, business, anything. Counting money.
I'd love, I'd love it. I just love it. So you're drinking that Cabo, you know,
bim-bim-bang-matavi, whatever he's got. What is the name of his?
Beth Dombkowski Casamigos.
Casamigos. What an original name. Casamigos. House of our friends? Friends house?
I guess so.
Casamigos. Okay. So he's got that Casamigos. So you guys are drinking a little Casamigos.
How many shots do you take in a night?
I don't do shots anymore.
No? No.
It's just a bad idea.
It's a totally bad idea.
All the way around.
It's always been a bad idea.
Yeah, it's always been a bad idea.
It's just a way for the bars to sell you
a $6 drink really quickly.
Yeah.
But it never works out well.
No, and you don't need to ingest
that much alcohol at one time.
I don't even think when you and I were drinking, we did shots all that often.
Oh, I, oh, contrary.
I mean, we did do shots, but.
Well, what about the Braves games and a certain manager that we had that would always.
Yeager might say, ah, Yeager bomb, but not Yeager bomb, just Yeager.
He would say it incorrectly, but yeah.
Oh, God damn.
I can't even get around Jaeger at this point.
I can't smell that licorice smell anymore, but I had a friend.
And remember when I told you about the guy with the pool and they had jam land?
Like they made a whole little land for me across the pool from where everybody else
socialized.
They would put me over there in the corner
and they called it Jam Land, right?
That guy had a Jaeger machine outside near his pool
and he'd have the three bottles sticking there
and it'd keep it ice cold.
I can't think of how many hundreds of shots
we must have taken from that Jaeger machine.
Hundreds of shots.
It'd be 99 fucking degrees.
That pool would be sweltering also.
And we'd be out there doing fucking Jaeger.
Ugh, ugh.
It was like at noon.
We'd all collect at noon.
And then by four o'clock, everyone's ripped roaring,
just walking away, getting into their cars,
heading down the highway.
I mean, what a terrible, terrible thing to do.
So you don't do shots. So
what do you put the, you just sip it? You sip the tequila? Yeah, sip it. Yeah. Interesting.
That's what I used to do back in, when I was in Chopper Johnson. I put that bottle of Jose
Cuervo gold, you know, that fine tequila. I'd put it in the freezer of that girl, let me stay at her
house. And then in the middle of the night, I just go, and it was like syrup, because once it gets cold, it turns like syrupy. And so, I do that. But,
you know, I could handle it back then. My body had the ability to understand, Brian, you've not
gone too far yet. Take it one step further. I had this like body, you know, this something was monitoring from inside, little
did I know. And man, I'll tell you what, shot after shot after shot of tequila, I just sip it. I say
sip it, I take a gulp or two, you know, a lot of it. Yeah, and I will pour it in a glass and have
like a big ice cube, you know, and yeah, you just do at a loss. What are you guys doing over there?
Oh, you know, we're getting naked.
I know you're naked, you're cooking,
you're wearing tutus around the house.
Jeff's got his whole business over there.
He's working, you're dusting, you know, naked.
Oh, he's got the music business.
That's like what you do.
Yeah, true. True.
You guys weren't like throwing old TVs out the window and shit?
Setting things on fire?
No?
Not having sex with sharks or whatever?
No.
Let's have one day.
I just have this image of the Jeff's like working on his computer at a desk
and you just like come in topless and just like lean over him to dust something.
And slightly just brush your boob over his
face.
And he's like, game on!
Get the Clooney Cuervo, we're going crazy!
Get the Clooney Cuervo, it's Wednesday night, tell Brian you won't be in till next Thursday!
Woo!
We're going to Starbucks all hopped up on clear cell and cocaine. Oh, I just want
to be over there one full day hiding under the floorboards just so I can see what's going
on. When we have budget, we're putting cameras in the house. When we have the budget, we're
going to put cameras in that house.
Like a pussy cam?
Yeah, closed circuit TV.
Remember you used to say that closed circuit TV?
Whatever that meant.
Yeah.
It probably had something to do with the closed circuit.
But I don't know.
Right.
Well, it was only available in that place or something.
I don't know.
Yeah, well, it means it didn't go out to the outside world.
Now there's nothing that doesn't go out to the outside world.
There's no thing.
I don't trust any electronic.
It's all going out to the outside world.
We'll get into this another episode.
Did you hear the cars are now, the GMC cars
are now tracking how people drive.
And some people are not able to get insurance
because they do too many hard stops
or fast pushes on the pedal.
And so they're getting denied insurance altogether
Because they have been deemed too dangerous
to insure
God bless when my you know my 1992 Honda or whatever I'm driving right now with one headlight when that thing
Goes I'm gonna have to get one of those cars that monitors your driving. Yeah, yeah, that's insane to me. That's insane
You're fucking car. It's talking to the insurance company. Yeah. When's it going
to stop? Where does it stop? I think it just goes. It's got to be a point, right? It's
got to be a point when we say enough is enough. I'm going back to a flip phone. I'm getting
closed circuit cameras and I'm hiding under the floorboards of Chrissy's house so I can
check out that Clooney Cuervo days. All right.
