They show the same programs, the rock concerts on television, and it's just like, all hell
was that loose. In fact, you may not like what I'm going to say, but I'm going to say it
anyway, because I'm not afraid to speak out. I think the music and hell for eternally
be some of this rock music with all his vulgarities and all of its sexual innuendos. And here they
were stripping themselves in the fuller running round in a little G string,
songs, hymns, and spiritual songs singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
You get a dose of the Holy Ghost, filling you, controlling you, you'll be singing a new song and
you'll get rid of all of those stink and rock records.
Coming up on this episode of The Commercial Break. One of my biggest pet peeves is people that are late.
Late is wasting your fucking time.
It's disrespecting you.
It is very.
Five or ten minutes late, I'm not that guy, right?
I'm not the guy who says like, a minute, the earliest, that minute's late, you know,
I'm not fucking Marie.
I don't have the balls for that.
But the truth is, is that you're disrespecting my general time.
And, and, I already don't want to meet with you.
Yeah.
When he does a work of art that is commissioned to write,
because I think he does like commissioned art work for charity or something like that.
So when he does commissioned art, then it sells for millions of dollars.
But he doesn't allow the street stuff to be taken.
No.
And that's just fucking rude, if I don't say so myself.
But here's the problem with Banksy or Bansky or whatever his name is.
With Bansky, Bansky.
Bansky.
Bansky.
Bansky.
Bansky.
Bansky.
Bansky. Bansky. Bansky. Bansky. Bansky. Thanks, you Thanks, you come and see my Bank see
Cloud hoppers
The boss would be like how are we gonna make this up how are we gonna get a hundred fifty thousand dollars? corporate you know corporate earnings
And what they would do is they'd sit in these meetings and they'd be like in the the boss would be like, uh, Brian, how much of that can you make up?
And then the person who was running the station would be like,
149,000.
I'd be like, I didn't say that.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
No. Tuba, I turned 30 years old,
I, that birthday felt like,
it was like, this is the end,
this is certain death is coming, right?
It's the end, I'm 30 years old.
Little did I know, I was right.
I was right about it all.
I was right about it all.
Just a new chapter.
Yeah.
It's like, but it's toward the end of the book,
you know what I'm saying? It feels like it's already into the book
It's like you've already learned the plot and now you just want to get it over
To say you accomplish something that's
Just want to accomplish something
It's probably election day when you're listening to this. I don't know. Maybe it's election day
Maybe it's after election day. Maybe we already know the outcome of this hotly contested election.
Wow.
What a year.
What a election.
What a fucking crazy ride.
I'm ready for it all.
Yeah, but the thing is that I have a feeling that, if you'll listen to this on Tuesday, that
this is just getting started and probably not ending.
I have a feeling, but I hope that I'm wrong.
Yeah.
Whatever.
And of course, we're recording this on Sunday,
which, you know, it's daylight savings time.
Let's all just be adults in the room and say that,
what the fuck are we doing with daylight savings time?
I hate it.
I don't care.
But you get an extra hour of sleep.
Oh, do I?
You fucking shithead.
I don't care about the extra hour of sleep,
because here's what really bothers me
It really bothers me that it's dark outside when I'm doing half the things that I'm doing now because that's gonna start
It's already dark outside. I don't even know what time it is really, but it's already dark outside. It feels like it should be light outside
But the part that's really bugging me is that you remember when you were in your 20s and you used to or
When you were 42 and you used to go out and tie one on be out so three or four in the morning.
And then you'd wake up at 11 30 or one 30 in the afternoon and you knew that
because the sun was a certain position in those shades that your whole day was
fucked and you were never gonna get it back. You were late for something. You missed work. Yeah.
You get a whole day is gone. Now it's pissed. It's all pissed. I feel like that every winter morning.
I'm just like, oh shit. now it's half the day is gone
because half the day is gone.
Now it's I gotta do everything in the dark.
I hate it.
You definitely have to kind of rearrange your schedule
and they're always like, be sure and set your clocks back.
You know, now that with iPhones and digital technology
everything gets kind of done automatically.
However, my kitchen microwave did not today,
and it scared me. I saw it. I was like, I'm running late, which brings me to something
that I started thinking about here, which was people who are consistently, constantly
late. I'm an on time person. And I think it's because I grew up with a mom who and my grandmother
who was they were they were always like they were those the late lose we were waiting on them to
go somewhere did they go to the family dinner to go you know whatever and so it kind of taught
me to just be on time do what you say you're gonna do respect other people's time don't make them
wait and yeah it really it's a pet peeve.
I have a suspicion that something has happened.
And in the last week, that you're not
going to say because we know him by name,
but something has happened.
Someone has been late to an occasion.
Yeah.
Yes, OK.
Yeah, you know, I'm OK with like a five or 10 minute
law.
You don't even need to call it.
No, no, no, no, no, 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, you start maybe you give a courtesy call or a courtesy text.
However, I agree.
When somebody is 30 minutes late and this is every time and it's blamed on traffic or
blamed on things, I'm like, well, how did you think I got here?
I didn't helicopter in.
I also went to traffic.
I also went ahead and thought when I had an thought about in
by the way coming to meet you on time. We we worked with a person that was late 30
minutes was like the earliest 30 minutes late was the on-timeest this person would
have ever been. Yes. I got stuck in traffic. I hit it and I'm like listen.
Yes. Always something. If you're if if you, this happens five days a week,
then why don't you just leave 30 minutes earlier?
Yeah.
Well, I didn't think there's, come on.
Really, I got stuck in traffic.
I get stuck in traffic too.
That means I leave 15 minutes late.
One of my biggest pet peeves is people that are late.
Late is wasting your fucking time.
It's disrespecting you.
It is very.
Five or 10 minutes late, I'm not that guy, right?
I'm not the guy who says like,
a minute, early is that minutes late. You know, I'm not a fucking Marine. I I'm not the guy who says, like, a minute early as that minute's late.
You know, I'm not fucking Marine.
I don't have the balls for that.
But the truth is, is that you're disrespecting my general time.
And-
Right.
And-
This isn't the only thing I already don't want to be with you.
Yeah.
I already don't want to be here.
And now you're making it more miserable
because you're dragging my time on and on and on.
I dated someone that could net, on time was a concept that they just did not understand.
If we had to be at a dinner at eight o'clock, she would start getting ready at 7.45 and
that process would take an hour and a half and it was like, come on.
It was like, come on.
You got to come on.
I mean, especially being a girl, like you're doing the same things pretty much.
You know how you wanna, how long it takes
to blow dry your hair, how long it takes
to put on your makeup, get ready,
that kind of thing.
So just plan, plan for it.
Just plan, that's all you gotta do.
And now you gotta plan an hour, an hour earlier.
Uh huh.
Oh right.
Well listen, my mom's coming over for dinner here
at some point this evening.
Yeah. And I bet Astrid a thousand bucks that she was gonna show up Yeah, well listen, my mom's coming over for dinner here at some point this evening. Oh, nice.
And I bet Astrid a thousand bucks that she was going to show up to her house an hour late
because every time the clock changes.
Hi, Brian, it's your mom.
Hi, mom.
Listen, I know you have to change your clockspan.
How do you do that?
Mom, it's July 7th.
We don't have to change our clock's back until October.
I know, but I just want to be prepared.
Okay, well listen, your phone will automatically do it and the television will automatically do it.
Yeah, I don't want to miss Judge Judy.
Okay, well listen, the whole TV station, they take care of all of that behind the scenes.
Oh, they do? You mean if I don't change my clock, I won't miss Judge Judy?
No, mom, they're gonna show it at the time that it is currently.
Which is what?
It's gonna be an hour behind.
So if it's five, now it's six.
No, if it's six, now it's five.
Oh, okay.
What about the clock in my bathroom?
You have a clock in your bathroom?
I do, but it hasn't worked in a long time.
Okay, mom, I don't think you have to worry about that clock.
Okay, well, what if I say I'm gonna call you at 5.30 and then my phone changes?
I have to call you at 4.30.
No, mom, you just call me when the clock says 5.30 on the phone.
Wow, these phones are really smart.
Yes, they are, mom.
Okay, thanks, son.
I'll see you at 6.30.
Dinner's at 5.30.
I know, but it's an hour behind.
Okay, mom, just look at your clock.
And whenever it says 5.15, you start driving over here.
But it's only gonna be 4.15.
No, mom, it's gonna be 5.15.
But you said it's an hour behind.
Mom, mom, mom, just look at the clock.
And when it's 5.15, you come over.
Let's forget about what time we had planned on having dinner
and whatever time it says on 5.15 on your clock.
That's when you go.
Okay, that sounds much easier to me.
Okay, mom, thanks. I appreciate it.
Bye. Bye. I love you. I love you go. Okay, that sounds much easier to me. Okay, mom, thanks, I appreciate it. Bye.
Bye.
I love you.
I love you too.
My mom came over two weeks ago,
I'm just gonna tell the story real quick,
my mom came over two weeks ago,
and she came over with a,
I can show it here, hold on one second.
Join us on YouTube, go to www.tcvpodcast.com
and you can watch all the YouTube episodes
if you wanna see what I'm showing.
Yes.
Oh my gosh, you told me about this.
This is fucking insane.
Exciting.
So my mom comes over and she says,
Irving gave me a piece of art.
Okay, Irving gave me this piece of art,
but I really don't know what to do with it.
It's not my style.
So I'm giving it, so I'd like to give it to you.
You can keep it somewhere in the house.
And so I'm like, okay, so she pulls this out.
For those of you who are listening on,
it's a block of wood with another block,
it's just a small block of wood
with another block of wood that has been shaped like a bird.
Like a bird, like a dove, or something like that.
I love bird is what it says, right?
Yeah.
So it's shaped like a bird.
A bird.
So the two of them are attached.
So it's just a wood carving, essentially, is what it is.
However, there is writing all over the bird.
It's painted a little bit, and there's writing all over the bird,
and all over the block, everywhere you can write on it.
It's been basically written on.
And the back.
And so I look at this thing, and I'm like,
oh, thanks, mom.
You know, I really appreciate the block of wood bird. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. But I start
reading the words, which is some kind of Bible verse and something about God and family
world.
Yes.
Yes.
And Howard Finster.
I look on the back and I see that it's been signed by Howard Finster. and my mom persists to tell me that that Irving got this in
Where did he get it? He got it in like Harlem or something back in the 90s?
So this was signed
1992 and you know that's the artist were Jeff and I went to get his house. I know that's why I bring it up a couple months ago
Yeah, I know with the garden. I mean now that he's dead too those those pieces of art are worth a lot of
money. Hey listen, I looked online and some of those I know some of those things are going for
hundreds of thousands of dollars. I mean they're in there and there's pieces there's his works of
art are very celebrated. Crazy. So I mean no other piece of art in this house is now more valuable.
I mean as much as I'd like my Pearl Jam, my Pearl Jam poster from 2017 to be worth $700, the $700 that I paid for it, this thing is now worth
a whole. I don't even know what it's worth to be honest with you. I couldn't find. There's
there's it's got to be thousands at least. You think thousand. You can take it to antique
roadshow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. I'll take it to antique rear. I used to
love that show. I used to go when I worked at the restaurant business,
I would go home in between shifts
when I would work a double.
And what I do is I pound two beers real quick
and that'd make me tired and I'd go take a nap
with the ANTIG Roadshow on.
I'm not used to it was your goodest thing.
That was my goodest thing.
But I always wake up with the hangover.
I find it fascinating.
I always love people are digging up out of there.
Fascinating.
Did you see that the most recent ANTIG Roadshow in the news thing was that a guy took a Banksy to a Banksy. Banksy. Banksy.
The artist Banksy. Yeah, Banksy. Yeah, he's a famous, you know,
artist from England, yet street artist, and nobody really knows who he is.
And they can think they know, but anyways, we know who he is. Yeah, people know who he is.
He's the kid who played ET.
The guy who was in the suit.
I'm not kidding.
Nice.
I didn't know that.
So he tried to, he tried to get an estimate on how much it was and the guy
shut him down.
He was like, Banksy doesn't allow this.
You took this from a street.
It's pretty much stolen from public, you know, the public and
we can't even value it and Banksy won't authenticate it either and so the guy got shut down. Really? You're kidding me. Now. So dude steals a piece of the wall, so I cut it out. I mean, his works of art sell for millions of dollars. Well, when he does a work of art that is commissioned, right?
Because I think he does like commissioned art work
for charity or something like that.
So when he does commissioned art, then it sells for millions of dollars.
But he doesn't allow the street stuff to be taken.
No.
And that's just fucking rude if I don't say so myself.
But here's the problem with Banksy or Bansky or whatever his name is.
With Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky, Bansky.
And I thought that, that, that, that.
Picture in a cane, and a ball of the pants.
Yeah, you gotta go cane, and there's a-
The Cloudhoppers.
That, that, that, that, that.
James, I've got a real Cloudhop, if you duh, duh, duh. James, I feel like clawed, hop up, you know what I mean? Uh, so when you're spray painting stuff all over town,
right, it leads to people, probably imitators,
where the street art is not real, right?
How do you authenticate a Banksy
when you don't even know if he did it or,
or I mean, if you want to authenticate it,
then how do you even know which one of them is real, right?
And that's the issue.
And I think that's purposefully why he makes it nebulous.
And so it can never be authenticated
because there's a bunch of other people out there
that are running around pretending to be him too.
Like, I've seen shit in downtown.
It, you know, it doesn't even sign it
with a weird X or something like that.
Some of them.
Something like that.
I don't know.
I'm not an expert on all this.
I'm not an expert on street art.
There's a good Amazon show about him.
It's probably interesting.
It's called Leave Through The Exit or something?
Leave Through The Exit door.
Oh, Leave Through The Gift Shop.
Exit Through The Gift Shop.
I think that's what it's called.
And he's a part of it.
But I do think they think it's the kid
who was in the ET suit.
I'm not directed under Steven Spielberg.
You know everything.
I knew you were in the E-Tex.
Then I just totally made that up.
I thought, by the way, www.tcvpodcast.com is where you go
to find all the show notes.
You can listen to all the episodes.
You can now watch all the episodes on YouTube.
If you like access to the After Show,
which is a small show that we do after each episode
on YouTube, you can go and join the break room, www.tcbpodcast.com. Now, here's where things get interesting.
Chrissy and I are now providing content for our Instagram and YouTube pages separate from what we
do on the show. So you want to make sure that you hit us on Instagram at the commercial break.
You can join our Facebook page. You can join our Facebook page.
You can like our Facebook page if you want.
We post some of the stuff there.
But what Chris and I have decided that we want to do is we
want to take our, just like many people may not have known
that Banks, Banksy, is the kid that was inside of the ET suit
being directed by Steven Spielberg for the 1984 World
Famous Movie ET., also E.T.
We want to be official.
Just like you don't know that.
The Extro Terrestrial.
Just like Anne and the little girl in that movie grew up to be Stormy Daniels.
No.
Oh, that's not true.
That's true very well.
I was reading Bright Barton.
You were very confident, though.
I was.
Man, I thought that one was true.
I'm on a Facebook group called ET Israel.
Anyway, yeah, okay.
So Chrissy and I consider ourselves experts
in pretty much any topic, any subject.
And so what we'd like to do is we'd like to provide
a service for you as the listener of the commercial break.
Absolutely free, no charge, 100% no shipping and handling.
If you have a question about any topic,
including the commercial break, we would
like you to email us infoattscbpodcast.com. That's infoattscbpodcast.com. You email us your

So you can also hit us up at Facebook or Instagram with questions as well. I have to
be email. I'm starting to learn this Instagram shit. I'll tell you what my wife is whipping the
chain. She's like, people don't, people don't correspond with the brand. They correspond with the
person. And I'm like, okay, smart ass. I'll show you how to do it. And then I'm like, how do you
open the Instagram page on the net? She's like, you don't.'m like but I want to WWE that Instagram.com and it doesn't open and she's like that's because it doesn't
It doesn't that's not how it works Brian
Instagram
Can you find a well
Oh I'm good. I had a great time on our day We found a well-well. Hi, how are you?
I'm good.
I had a great time on our day.
It was wonderful, wasn't it?
I would you, and I snowed you.
As they say in my country, I wind, I dined.
I did 79.
What is 79?
It's almost when you get all the way in the position of 69,
but you're just spending straight up and saying hello to each other. It's like a you get all the way in the position of 69, but you're just spending straight
up and saying hello to each other.
It's like a handshake.
Wow.
You just talked about 79, we didn't go there.
I don't think.
I know I'm a married woman.
I know you're married to me.
Thank you very much.
This is a highly disputed topic in the Fonda household.
I just want you to know this.
COVID, we are turning the corner on COVID, okay?
Okay, you hear what I'm saying?
Yes.
Okay, Russia is a hoax, and additionally,
Jeff is not married to Holi.
It's just these are the truths that I live by here
on the my side of the world.
I don't even know what you're thinking.
It's amazing that we can get the same information
and come up with two different conclusions.
But I don't think you've like ever had like a ceremony or anything, Henry.
I mean, I think you're just, I think you're taking this a little too far.
The thing is, in my country, we don't have to have a ceremony.
I told you, if two llamas run around each other, one's spitting at the other one's butt,
and I say, hardly the name's three times, in my foreign tongue, then this is it.
We're married.
There's no, there's no discussion about it.
What is your foreign tongue?
Saharan desert.
It's not even a country.
Don't want to give that away right now.
At this time, I'm being investigated by some very,
very dirty, dirty people and I do not want to,
who are you being investigated by?
The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos.
Jeff Bezos, Jesuszos Jesus Christ that sounds crazy
so this and anyway I want to tell you that I can help you out with your Instagram
I see now you've got seven followers on the Instagram on the commercial break page
well this is a fantastic start I think you really need to boost up your presence there on the Instagram
no I think we can all agree how the agrees I mean everyone here at the commercial break agrees that we should have more Instagram followers
based on our listenership.
But the problem is, is that we're just having trouble
getting people to get over from the podcast
over to Instagram.
I can see how this would be a problem.
So I have a team of people in Indonesia dedicated
to boosting your Instagram presence.
Yeah, but I don't want to pay for subscribers or likes or whatever it is because it always
ends up backfiring.
This is one, this is full proof.
We have over 250,000 Indonesian people that are in our network and they all are looking
for a company podcast to listen to.
Wow, that's amazing. So far, we have over 450 million views on our Instagram page.
That's crazy, Henry Fonda.
How did you accomplish that?
I just basically make some worknight and day.
Let's be real honest, they worked for seven cents and some shelter.
Henry, I do not want to be a part of a sweat shop that's going to get Instagram likes.
It's not that important.
You don't even know how important it is.
Let me tell you, with the upcoming election, it's going to be very important you have an Instagram presence.
What is the, what is the election have to do with it?
I'm not sure, but if you could forward me 4999, I wouldn't appreciate it.
Okay, listen, why don't you help hold the yacht with her Instagram?
Because I think she needs help with her Instagram.
Yes, I'm starting to Instagram.
Are you struggling with Instagram as much as I'm struggling with Instagram?
Yeah, I really am.
Henry, though, can sound like he's got a good, a good, kind of a good thing going.
I'm not talking to you.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Oh, I want to redo of our day.
No, this is not done yet, but taking this seriously.
You see, you told me we're going to have a night where we would go out, we would have some fun,
you would stay at my house for a week or two.
I never said that.
I'll be organizing things, but that's what I heard.
That's what I interpreted.
I'll be organizing some things in my closet, and then now we could fit that additionally tack on an extra
two or three weeks. What ended up happening was I got a Zoom call that only lasted three
minutes. And I just want you to know I had no idea that my pants were off. Right.
Did you pull a tube in? Well listen isn't. Me pull the classic dip in.
You pulled the tubes, didn't you?
I thought this is what we did.
I thought this is how the new zoom,
this is the new zoom in the etiquette.
Everyone just takes their pants off.
OK, Henry listen, I think what happened
was that Chris is a little creeped out
by your aggressive nature at which you're coming after her.
I mean, you're just a guy who runs a podcast platform,
and now all of a sudden you want to get married to her.
OK, OK, OK, maybe I take, maybe I can only do a little
strong, hardly.
Let me rephrase what I'd like to do.
I want to help you out with your Instagram page.
If you agree to send me six to seven pictures of you
and yourself without Jeff, a day for the next six months. Let's call it a private
Instagram page. Let me think about that. Okay, I'll take that as an answer. Okay,
Henry, we've got to get on with the podcast. Okay, thank you. Podcast universe for
always here to help your ego. Okay, bye, thank you. Oh, one more thing, Brian, I
wanted to say, if anybody has a question for Henry Fonda, I think they should
also be able to email info at tcbpodcast.com, seeing as my website down right now is currently
down because I have not paid the guys who have built it.
Okay, listen, if you have a question for Henry Fonda, you can email info at the tcbpodcast
too and we'll happily pass that along to Henry and maybe, maybe he'll answer it.
Thank you, I appreciate you, Harold. Bye-bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye, Haudenosa. Maybe we'll talk later. Wow. He seems very upset about whatever happened
on your date. I think he had one idea and I had another. He doesn't.
Say, love me. Story of my life. Story of the, story of the United States of America right now.
I had one idea.
They had a totally different one.
So, yeah, so go to TCPpodcast.com and join the break room.
Okay, so we're over with that.
Listen, I, we're recording the Sun Sunday and I got to be honest with you about something.
I am really irritated with Sundays.
While I enjoy the Sunday television, the older I get, the more that I actually don't like Sundays.
Are you a big fan of Sundays,
or maybe it's just COVID?
Maybe it's like, maybe because I don't do anything.
Well, yeah, everything's kind of topsy-turvy
with COVID and what day it is subjective.
I feel like Sunday is the Monday countdown,
where I'm just walking the plank
and getting ready for a day loose of shit that I don't want to do because I get a reprieve.
It's always been Sunday.
It's always been Sunday.
When I was young guys, I felt like I could take it.
What's that?
I said I used to get anxious sometimes because, you know,
if I was at a job I didn't like, well shoot, I had to go back to work the next day.
I remember in the job, in the job we were working together.
I remember the Mondays we had that.
That's pretty much the same way.
I know, it's such anxiety because on Mondays we had a series
of meetings starting at 8.06 in the morning, sales meeting,
and then the projections meeting.
What did you do?
What did you do?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Are you going to get to $300,000 this week?
I don't know. I'm at 30.
I'm going to get there.
I've got a plan.
Yeah, and I always got the shit into the stick
because it always would be like,
well, Brian will make it up.
I mean, like, you know,
how are you going to bridge this $600,000 gap
when you're over here?
Internet.
Internet.
For those of you who don't know,
I used to run the internet sales department
for the radio stations that we were at.
So what I would basically do is I would teach people,
or I would encourage people to.
How do you use the internet?
I would use the internet basically
a bunch of 70 year old idiots.
How many times is my banner ad gonna run on the news?
And I'd be like,
it was a big concept to kind of grab.
It was.
The advertisers they were used to hearing their
for the advertisers.
I'm talking about for the sales people.
Oh, what?
It's like,
I don't know.
There was like how many, how many web pages
are gonna play during the song? I'm like how many web pages are gonna play during the song?
I'm like how many web pages are gonna play during the song the fuck are you talking about?
Have you ever been on the internet? Not really. Yeah. Yeah, hold on. I'm getting a facts order. I'll be right back
One person that we know very well would be like, oh man
I missed the good old days the facts machine would just be pouring out orders
And I was like when was that and she was like a couple weeks ago very well would be like, oh man, I missed the good old days. The facts machine would just be pouring out orders.
And I was like, when was that?
And she was like a couple of weeks ago.
Radio was slow to catch on.
Let's put it that way.
But then we'd have these projection meetings
where you'd have to project how much money
you were gonna bring in the door,
this week, this month, this year, and so on and so forth.
And he did theirs.
It was always so hard.
You just don't know what made you. It was the worst. How were you supposed to do that? was always so hard, you just don't know.
It was the worst.
Yeah, how are you supposed to do that?
I mean, you got a client that's going to sign a contract.
That's one thing, but pretending like you're
going to make stuff up in the air.
And so everybody was just basically fucking guessing, right?
And then it'd be who's the better guesser, right?
Who's the better guesser at this?
We basically had to guess and then try to get
to the number that you guessed at somehow.
That's it.
And so, but here's the thing, is that,
if the guy, when I came on board,
the economy for radio was not doing all of that,
all that great, the internet was really kind of
taken a lot of action away.
And the, what I guess went to call the heyday of radio,
right at that, that, that, that, that.
Hey, turn on your radios.
So it's not for $500.
Yeah.
Radio used to be crazy back in the day.
Radio used to be like the 70s and the 80s.
Yeah.
Party and hard.
Party and hard they were sitting there and out drinking their kavasya and doing lines
in the bathroom.
That being said when we worked that being said when we worked it was we had also had
Margaret Rita machines in a full bar upstairs in boss's office that I could go to anytime.
Yeah, but instead of being a lunch, Margarita is at lunch.
Yeah, that's right.
The trick is complacency.
Well, listen, but I think in the 70s and 80s that Margarita bar was literally in every
single cubicle downstairs, along with a clean mirror.
So when I got there, like, you know,
things on the radio were heading down,
but things on the internet were heading on the way up.
But, you know, still not all, you know,
but it wasn't the cash I think everybody thought
that it was going to be.
So what what happened was,
is if things were on the way down,
let's say radio station A was making 150,000 less in February
than they had made the year before, the boss would be like, how are we going to make this up? How are we going to get $ 150,000 less in February than they had made the year before.
The boss would be like, how are we gonna make this up?
How are we gonna get $150,000?
Carp, right, you know, Carp and earnings.
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh,
and what they would do is they'd sit in these meetings
and they'd be like, and the boss would be like,
oh, Brian, how much of that can you make up?
And then the person who was running the station
would be like 149,000.
I'd be like, I didn't say that.
Why no, you can do it, go out and do it. And I'd be like I didn't say that. Yeah, you can do it go out and do it.
Yeah, I guess all 149,000.
Just take some clients to the Braves game.
Sales people don't even know what a website is.
I'm not supposed to do that.
Speaking of the internet, speaking of technology.
I hear there's a brand new TV that you can get called Amazon. You can buy an Amazon TV, put it in your room,
and magically stream right to your face.
So I watched Borat, did you get to Borat?
Oh, I did, I watched Borat.
Oh, my Lord.
Very good, very interesting take on America.
Very, very rarely does part two live up to part one of any movie ever.
There's a couple.
Godfather to Rocky to.
Oh yeah.
Uh, that's it.
Trolls to, which is one of my personal favorites running at the house right now. Trolls to. Everything is one of my personal favorites,
running at the house right now.
Trolls too.
Everything is awesome.
Everything is awesome.
But Borat too is super fantastic.
It is absolutely biting.
I have no idea how Sasha Baron Cohen gets himself
into and out of these situations.
I wonder which ones are made up and which ones are real,
but they won't say notoriously won't say for good reason.
I know that some of them are real,
and there was a dogged reporter that I read a story,
a dogged reporter went out there
and made a point of contacting every single person
that had been in Borat 2 to find out what the skinny was, right?
Yeah.
Were you a part of this?
Did you get paid?
So a couple of these scenes, people got paid indirectly,
but it was mainly that they paid for filming.
Like the gentlemen who, for those of you
who haven't seen the movie, I'll try not to give too much
or actually I'm gonna give it all away.
So who cares, it's a Borat movie.
You go in still funny, right?
I'm not gonna tell it any funnier than it is on the screen.
You can go see it.
The plot is thin, but it's a fantastically hilarious movie.
So there's a guy here in Georgia who owns a Fax machine,
who owns a like a UPS store.
Oh my God, I love that guy.
Right.
And so Borat goes in there and he starts faxing back and forth
with his cut, the cause, the president of, you know,
cut, because he could stand or whatever he says.
And he's like, you're going to die by a thousand
goat balls
or something like that.
And to be the guy who owns that store
with a fucking dead face, just reading things back to him.
You're saying the craziest thing.
He's like, he said that you're going to die.
Please give your daughter to my pen.
To my pen says a gift.
But the craziest scene in the movie, the craziest scene in the movie,
the craziest scene in the movie,
is not the one that everyone's talking about with Giuliani,
which is a crazy scene, by the way.
If you think you know, if you haven't seen the movie,
and you're looking at some of the still shots
that are coming out and you think you know
how intense and weird and crazy that scene is,
watch the movie in its entirety,
because at the end, that Giuliani scene is nuts.
Literally, he's touching his nuts.
Oh yeah.
It's literally touching his nuts.
Yeah, he was drawing it.
He was pulling a tube in right there.
Oh, he was drawing in.
All you have to do is say here with America, Patemarican Patriots, and that'll get you
anywhere.
Okay.
That's all you do.
I'm with the American Patriots.
I need an interview.
Listen, that's what's going to happen is if Trump loses he's gonna go start American Patriot network and we're all gonna be in for another in a
Don Jr. 2024. I mean, this is what's gonna happen. But anyway, the craziest scene in this movie to me is the scene where they go to the debut
Tom ball here in Georgia. That's a good one. A debutant ball for those of you who don't know is a southern tradition of introducing your daughter
to the societal world that you live in, which is mainly rich and white.
And introducing her as a woman to the community.
So they are like, I don't know.
They think anywhere from like 15 to 18 years old,
I believe, right?
And they dress up and these gaudy gowns,
and then they go and they have a big party
and the fathers introduce their daughters
in some ceremonial type way.
It's so weird.
It's so weird.
And it's just like it's so fucking weird.
It's not like a botmist or a barmist,
but there's some religious theocracy behind it.
Like there's some dogma behind it.
It's not like that.
It's like, here's my daughter, isn't she hot?
Welcome to the world, Mike.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
So in this scene, Borat brings his 15 year old daughter. And when it's time for them to do their ceremonial dance and that's what it is
It's a ceremonial dance even with the white people involved
They start doing the ceremonial dance and she starts to have her period on
And takes off her dress and she's in her underwear
It is the most take off the dress, she just lifts the dress.
Oh, she lifts the dress.
Yeah, as she's dancing.
And you can see the blood and you're like, oh my God.
And, boy, I'm laughing on the other side because I know it's happening.
But the people at the ball really were genuinely shocked.
They had no idea what was happening.
So some of them walked out.
Others were just like, like, there were a couple people that smiles smiled that they were like clapping along. They were like, wow, these African
people really know how to do. We're getting cultured. Yeah. It was amazing. I have been
to a debut on ball. I have been to an actual debut on ball and what I think is probably one of the more exclusive
Country clubs or social clubs here in Atlanta, which probably makes it one of the more exclusive social clubs in the South and
I went to this debut on ball and while we had our
The people that I was with I consider normal human beings, right?
They weren't like off their fucking rocker. It was exactly the way as described like it was a weird event where I didn't get it. I didn't get what was going
on. Why are we here? Why are we doing this? When I was 15 no one my dad didn't present
me. I didn't present me. When I was 15 my dad presented me. Oh really? This is a custom in our in our in our culture. It's actually not
15, it's 12 and we're presented to the neighborhood. And what do you present it for? Hard labor and
sexual favors mainly. Okay, I don't want to go there. Thanks, Henry. Okay, thank you. So I just had a
hard time wrapping my head around exactly what the purpose of it was.
It just seemed like a place where everyone went and got drunk and then there was a bunch
of young girls running around and cocktail dresses, right?
But you have nice etiquette or something like that.
Like there's a whole etiquette part.
Yeah, it's not a hyper sexualized defend.
I don't want to make it sound like that.
That's not what it is.
It's you're presenting yourself as a prop-prim and proper
Southern lady.
You're such a lady.
You're such a lady.
There's three cons of accents.
There's ones with money.
This is the money, actually.
There's the one with no money.
That's the one with no money.
And that there's the one who lives in Atlanta,
which is this accent right here.
Yes.
Hahaha.
It's not the Saharan native tongue. I'm going to tell you now, Brian.
I'm going to explain something to you right now, Brian. Listen here, darling. Listen here.
I want to tell you something. People with money don't need to tell you they have money.
You just don't have money. But people who don't have money need to tell you they have money.
That's how it works. That's right. When you have new money, you're going to always know
it because they've got to tell you they've got new money. When you have new money, you're going to always know it because they've got to tell you,
they've got new money.
When you have owed money, you hide it away because it likely came from some plantation somewhere.
I'm laughing because this is really true.
This is super true.
Very true.
When you have new money, that likely means you worked for it.
When you have owed money, probably came from some slaves.
When we're better than all telling for it. When you have owed money, probably came from some slaves. Ah!
I'm way better than I'll tell anybody.
I'm running away to the back.
Ah!
Fuckers.
Oh my God.
So I see that, did you see that,
did you see this crazy shit?
So this is Sunday, guys.
So if it's Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday, remember,
this is Sunday when we're doing this.
I have an idea.
What?
Yeah.
I said, well, I was going to say, are you
going to talk about some of Trump's rally?
Yeah, I was going to talk about some of Trump's rallies.
But what I wanted to say is how these people in Texas
surrounded the
Biden tour bus. Did you see that? Yes, that's so crazy. Listen, I have never been in, let
me, let me make this absolutely clear. I am not in favor of Democrats bothering Republicans
and restaurants and yelling and screaming at them. No, you know, costing them on the street.
I'm not a fan of any of that. I don't think a mature Republic or democracy does that.
I think it's a bunch of harts fucking shit
and I think you can deal with it in a more mature way, right?
A letter.
Can you just get behind your computer?
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, yes.
You do it on Facebook, like the rest of us.
You yell at your father and law on Facebook,
like the rest of us, that's what you do.
But that was a scary scene.
I watched the video and they tried to run that one of the fucking unbelievable.
It's like Venezuela now.
Where in Venezuela.
Wow.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, Jeff was showing that to me and I was like, what?
What?
What is going on?
How can, how could you speak?
And the police were outnumbered and then they had to have a police escort just to get them out of this
Situation, it's great. I didn't see that hold. I just saw the like a short two-minute video of how they were surrounding and
The bus and trying to slow it down and possibly I don't know try possibly trying to move it toward the side of the road
But what I did see is that there was a white car right behind it
There was like a staffers car and one of the trucks came up and just bumped it right off the road.
And it's like, or bumped it into the other lane.
And that's intense.
Like that's fucking intense.
What are we doing?
Now, that's not allowed.
Yeah, I hope whatever.
It's not allowed.
It's not allowed.
That's not allowed.
That's not allowed in this game.
Those are not the rules.
That's not allowed.
I'm telling the teacher.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Dixon says it may break my bones.
Dixon says it may break my bones, but you can't
surround my tour bus with your car.
Sit down and allow it.
I don't want to sound like a whiny bitch,
but that's not allowed.
No.
Those things aren't allowed.
Can you imagine if we surrounded the Trump tour bus
with cars?
Oh, my God.
You're a fucking nightmare.
Yeah.
We just wouldn't do it, we're more civilized.
Why don't we all agree to do this?
Whatever happens today, which I'm speaking in today
in the present term, like it's Tuesday,
election day, right, or Wednesday.
Whatever happens, we accept the results, right?
And we go back to bitching and complaining
about the other one, but we don't hurt each other.
Right.
We don't hurt each other.
There's no violence.
We don't try and steal the election.
Yeah. We don't, you know, we don't hurt each other. There's no violence. We don't try and steal the election. Yeah, we don't you know
We don't start a civil war for no reason Ray Sarayets or whatever it is
How about we not do any of that stuff?
Because we want to continue to live in a country that's free and that where we can choose our next leader and I will accept
Just like I did in 2016. I will accept the results
Even if it's not the person that I didn't care for.
If it wasn't your horse.
Yeah, now I will bitch and complain for four years
because that's also my right to do.
But can we not run each other off the road?
I think that's just like,
it's not allowed.
We're just adding common courtesy on that one, I think.
Right?
But you know, Trump's out there still stumping.
It's Sunday, he's gonna do another six rallies today.
And I just read in the paper where these rallies are leaving kind of a trail of
destruction as far as COVID is concerned.
Oh, yeah. Well, Brian, I have to tell you so.
Please do.
You know, I opened up my computer the other day and went to my, you know, one of my
go-to new sites and, you know, the first thing is, is, is Trump deadly rallies.
And I'm thinking, oh my God, COVID.
Yeah, he's spreading COVID.
These people aren't wearing masks.
He's doing this.
However, when I started to actually read it, no,
COVID was a part of it.
But let's just talk about the rally that was going on
in Florida where people got heat strokes.
And then in Wisconsin, they were getting hypothermia.
So it's deadly on many levels.
People are literally dying to see this guy.
It's like, it's so insane, right?
It's amazing.
In Minnesota, Wisconsin, or wherever it was,
it's minus seven degrees outside.
People are waiting for like 24 hours.
I just had this vision.
I was called in the heat.
Trump coming in, he's got two heaters
under that big podium, right?
He's got gloves on, it that big podium, right? He's got gloves on.
It is $50,000 coat.
And the Air Force one is running behind him
with a bedroom better than any hotel room,
you've ever stayed at, right?
Room service, hot tea, whatever he wants.
A four-story plane right behind him.
And so he goes there, and for 25 minutes,
he riles everybody up, you know,
gov'in, return in the corner.
Oh, Biden, you know, the most corrupt president in the world.
Bob, Bob, Bob, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.
And then he gets back in his hot plane with a cup of cocoa.
And all these people are waiting for a bus
to take him back to the parking lot seven miles away.
And the buses don't show up, or they show up,
but they can't go anywhere
because no one has figured out the logistics part of this.
Like, it's a one-way highway, and they don't,
I know how to get back.
It's so silly.
Now listen, I mean, obviously, I don't think
that's Donald Trump's fault specifically,
but it just goes to show how inattentive to the,
like, the empathetic details of life
that some of these folks really are because if you're holding
a rally where thousands of people show up, you have to plan for that shit. It's not just
you just don't invite me 10,000 of your closest friends to your house and not put out some
fucking crackers and chips. I mean, it's just like, you know, you want to make sure the
bathroom's got fresh of roll and toilet paper in there or some candle.
Something. I mean, something. It's just amazing to me.
And then my twin brother is like,
yeah, but Biden's got circles.
It's circles.
He's like making fun of the circles.
He comes to one warm springs Georgia.
And he's got circles.
These big painted circles are like 20 foot radius circles
for a group of people to stand it.
For, okay.
Yeah, okay, so.
Well, at least they're thinking ahead.
At least they're thinking ahead, but there's only a granted.
There's only like 10 circles, okay.
It's a much smaller event, but I think that's by design.
I'd listen, I don't think that as many people would show up
to a Biden rally anyway, that's just the truth.
Biden is not the cults of personality that Trump is,
so I don't think that anybody would go stand out
in the freezing cold for six and a half hours
to see Biden.
I just don't think that maybe some people would.
But, but you know, he's got, okay, he's got his toes.
No, we don't want him to, like we, we,
I actually want the guy to live.
We don't do that.
We want him to live.
I think that's why I've long enough to be our president.
Yeah, and live to vote.
That's right.
So, my brother was like, yeah, but Biden's got the circles. And I was like, yeah, but Biden's got the circles.
And I'm like, yeah, but Biden's got the circles and masks.
He's got science behind him.
Like, yeah.
Trump is just leaving a trail of destruction.
At least on Sunday, New York Times came out
with a article that says that Trump may have contributed
to up to 300 deaths because of these rallies
without masking or without mandatory masking
that's being held.
And I can believe it, like I can understand.
If we have 20% COVID rate in this country
and some small portion of those people
are gonna get sick enough to die,
then it can only make sense if there's 10 people in a room
and two of them have COVID
and then you put 10,000 of them in a room,
then 2,000 of them have COVID.
It's gonna spread around and other people
are gonna get sick and other people are gonna die.
I don't understand.
Here's the other thing too,
is that, and maybe a Trump supporter
can answer this for me.
I know you're gonna say something anyway,
so just go ahead and say it, right?
Email info at tcbpodcast.com.
And please, keep it to a dull roar,
if you will, keep the death threats to a dull roar.
Why is Trump holding rallies?
I don't understand it.
These are people that are obviously already gonna vote for him.
They're already gonna vote for him.
If you are going to a rally
and you are gonna stand next to nine and a half thousand
of your closest friends in a pandemic,
where yes, maybe not every person is gonna die,
but some people are, it's like kind of like,
I don't know, it seems like very non-discriminating
this disease.
Kills some young people, some old people,
some whatever people.
But you're gonna go and you're gonna stand in front
of all of those, next to all of those people,
in this like a super spread or situation.
And you're already gonna vote for Trump.
What does it matter?
Why are you holding these
money? Who is he convincing otherwise? That's my question. I understand that. I think he has a little
bit of a big ego is what I understand, what I can gather. I'm not convinced of that yet, but I'm
starting to think that there are signs that it's possible that Trump might have a big ego.
My point is, he's not convincing anybody of anything at any of those rallies.
And I understand the TV coverage is good.
To be quite frank with you, I don't understand why Biden's doing them either, because you
know what, he ain't convincing anybody of anything either, especially with only 12 circles
with only 12 circles and four people there.
He's not convinced.
He's got those four people not going to vote for you. You can win somebody in one of 12 circles and four people there. Like, he's not gonna do those four people
not gonna vote for you.
You can convince somebody in one of those circles
to vote for you.
I just don't think it's the case.
Here's the reality.
Today, maybe, today, Tuesday, we are gonna find out
if Trump convinced enough people
or if Biden convinced enough people.
And I sure hope that we find out today.
That's all I have to say, whichever way it goes.
I hope we find out.
We might do a live show, right?
Here's the thing, and I was about to say this,
and I may add a bumper.
Sorry if I'd just... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Try and I say try because there's a lot of technical stuff that actually goes into doing a live show at least for two people like Chrissy and I
Who have no idea how to do it?

I just know it.
And it's going to be like my wife.
It'll be a test run.
And my son who knows how to use the internet better than the internet.
He does.
He calls me all the time, by the way.
Does he? Yeah, that's really like Brian just tried to FaceTime me. He's good.
He's good. He's good. Yeah. He calls my dad too. He calls my dad all the time. My dad loves it.

There will be nothing on on Tuesdays of mine as well.
Mine as well.
Yeah, it's all going to be a bunch of idiots talking anyway.
You might as well listen to these two idiots.
Right.
I don't think Brian Williams is going to be this funny.
Let's put it that way.
I would say Anderson Cooper.
Who's going to be on Fox News?
Oh, on Fox God.
I don't know.
It's names probably.
You think hot.
You think hot.
He's going to Tucker.
I don't think Tucker his name's probably Chad. He's probably Andy, and whatever. You think hot, Andy's gonna talk her. I don't think Tucker's a serious news person.
I don't think that's, do you think we're gonna have
somebody like serious news person?
I don't know the personalities on Fox.
There's a couple of them over there.
There's a couple of them over there
that actually I think tell it like it is.
And while it's certainly.
They've quit.
Well good for them, they should have.
We haven't quite a few of them quit it.
Like the serious ones, but huge.
Yes.
No, but he's still over there, I think.
He is.
They're, they're, they're, they're, I've seen a couple of them.
They're main ones, the main one quit.
And now he's over at CNBC, which is a horrible place to be.
Like CNBC only runs, you know, re-run shark tank all day long.
Yeah.
Shark tank and forensic.
And so I heard some Republicans were like, yeah, well, I came, um, Shepherd Smith, Sh're talking. Yeah, you're talking. Yeah, you're talking. Yeah. Shark Tank and Forensic file. And so I heard some Republicans were like,
yeah, well, I came, um, Shepherd Smith,
Shepherd Smith, they say,
yeah, Shepherd Smith, the one on C.O.B.C.
and his ratings were shitty.
Well, of course, his ratings were shitty.
He's over at CNB fucking C, right?
I think the point was that they were hoping
that some people would run over to CNBC.
I kind of like a middle of the road,
you know, news organization.
But the truth is, the CNBC, it's the Shark Tank channel.
That's all it is for me to. Oh, news organization. But the truth is, the CMBC, it's the Shark Tank Channel. That's all it is for me to.
My friends at Files, or American Greed,
who I love that show.
I hate that show.
I can't watch it.
I don't wanna hear about people getting ripped off.
It's just like, it just bothers me.
I don't know why.
I don't even wanna get into the mentality behind that.
But I just don't like people taking advantage
of other people and all that stuff.
I don't like it either.
That's why you have to watch this show.
I don't have to watch the signs of how you could get duped.
I know the signs.
You're gonna make $20 million if you give me seven.
Let's send the signs.
I'll turn it into a million dollars.
Have you ever of Spacepold?
I'm gonna be the first person to find space gold.
I've got a brand new coin.
It's got a big coin, I call it bri-coin.
Be our bri-coin.
We're traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
How much do you want?
And for bri-coin?
For bri-coin.
It's a pump and dump.
I need a penny.
I want one penny.
That's all it takes.
One penny.
You can literally buy a thousand
a fry coins with one dollar.
Oh.
That's it.
See, it's like the peso.
Yeah.
Or the delivery in Venezuela,
which is worth less than the paper it's printed on.
True story.
Oh wow.
They stopped printing them,
because they're like, yeah, we're just wasting money.
Yeah.
People are using for toilet paper.
Cheese.
It's so sad.
Let's hope that we really don't go
the way of Venezuela.
Would it,
whoever wins the election,
let's hope that we don't go the way of Venezuela.
Absolutely.
That's just not it.
Okay, so,
I think that's all I can handle for one day.
What about you?
Yeah.
Yeah. Well listen, oh wait, hold on. Hold on. So I think that's all I can handle for one day. What about you?
Yeah, oh wait, hold on. I want I want I want to invite Chrissy to tell us something positive at the end of each Show because we are always you know not always but sometimes we're talking about some
Checks that are less than then fun like the election that's happening right now, currently, while you're listening.
So go ahead, Chrissy.
Yeah, we're just trying to pepper in.
Yeah, we're trying to pepper in a little positivity.
It's good, Nezzie.
And I have to tell you, Brian, something that I happened
over the weekend that I'm very excited about.
Apparently Eric.
You're pregnant?
No.
Oh, okay.
I am not.
Unless, hmm, when did I go on a date with Henry Fonda?
About two weeks ago. Eric Schmidt, the founder.
Yes, what are the founders of Google? So he's got a lot of money. We know that, obviously.
Billionaire, it sounds like he's doing some good here. I didn't realize he had started the Schmidt
Ocean Institute and had built or you know had built I don't think he built it himself
But he had this thing built this this underwater machine that can map the ocean and 3d model the ocean and it has cameras and all kinds of things
And he they allow this you know this institute allows other researchers to use this machine for research purposes
Fascinating. They decided to go research some stuff over in the coral reef in Australia, the Great
Barrier, reef, coral reef, some parts that were hard to get to by land, so they were
able to get in there.
Oh, Brian, Brian, you know you hear all about the coral reef dying.
The coral, it's called coral bleaching when the waters are too warm because of global warming. They were able to discover a whole new coral reef that's as tall as the Empire State Building.
That's as tall as the Empire State Building.
Yes, and it's thriving and teeming with life and rich marine animals.
So it's just, it was amazing to me.
So is there a theory or maybe you didn't read this?
Is there a theory that, as the shallower water gets warmer, it's moving to deeper water?
It gets what? So, you know, the coral bleaching that happens happens because the
temperature is raising in the ocean and so it gets bleached out. It bleaches the color and the
life out of it. Yes, it kills it. In the shallow water gets warmer quicker than the deeper water does.
Deeper water, obviously, we all know that.
Colder.
Yeah, basic third grade science, but I didn't pay any attention to it.
But is the theory, or maybe you don't know this, is the theory that the coral life is
moving the deeper water because it's cooler there.
It's going to, it's going to wear the temperature to good degree.
Could be.
Yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense. They were able to they were able to
actually spot some life too. Like the squid that's this like ram-hormed squid thing that they had
never actually seen live. They had seen shells of it, but they saw it live. Oh, wow.
Anyways, it excited me. I think I had that live one time at a Japanese restaurant in San Francisco.
Great. I tell you that
I said like baby squid that we're actually living. Oh
That's like that story some other time. I think I'm about to eat. I don't want to talk about it
It's rather unhappily. That's fantastic. Good for Eric good for Eric Schmidt
Yes, right in all he doing all of his wonderful stuff with all that money. Technology can do some good.
Yeah, sure, and that's what happens
when you have a trillion dollars in age 12.
Billion.
Yeah, listen, I don't even know what we do without Google.
Well, what would I do without a Google?
I don't know.
We'd still be using Yahoo.
And the phone book.
I got to miss the phone book sometimes.
He's like, look up to see if someone, someone you like, type of phone,
like their own personal phone line.
Oh, I wonder if Jenny has her own phone line.
Let's take a look.
Nope, it's just her parents line.
Well, that would just mean you had to call before eight o'clock.
But sometimes when you were a kid
and you were having like, I'm a sugar high, 13, 14 years old
and you wanted to call the, you're, you know, the crush
and then just hang up on them, right?
You called to see if they had their own line.
Or sometimes you would just call their parents line to see if they would answer.
They happen to answer.
And if they did, you know, hello, click.
So I talked to Jenny last night.
Pretty sure weren't low.
What did you say?
Hello.
She said hello.
You know it was.
Remember when we were 12 and it was also innocent. Yeah.
When we thought born in the USA was a song celebrating the USA.
Berlin wall fell. Right. God damn, holy. I long for the for the gravy days. But
let's hope to buy the end of the show. The next Civil War hasn't started.
Yes.
And that we're all still on Tuesday.
