Have you ever loved one, been experiencing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath?
Hmm...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I hope you get better.
I'm sorry.
On this episode of the Commercial Break...
One day they came in and there was a guy with a knife in the house, a drug addict with a
knife in the house and he was threatening to kill everybody, but they read him the Bible
and he got saved.
These are literally like 30 minute episodes of this and it is terrible, it is terrible
and I cannot wait to review every single episode because I'm like this is exciting to me
I love you thirsty for content and you know what Jesus answers Jesus provided. That's right. You're right about that. Look at me
I'm saved. I am saved
I am saved
baby
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.
I'm Brian Green and this is our Crackerjack producer, Christina.
Best of you, Christina.
Best of you, Brian.
Best of you, Christina.
Thanks for repeating it.
Best of you out there in the podcast universe.
Okay, best of you also. Can you not hear me? That's what I'm seeing. I can hear you. Ah, thanks for repeating it. Hey, best to you out there in the podcast universe. Okay, best to you also.
That's what I'm seeing.
I can hear you, I can hear you just fine.
I just didn't hear that first best to you.
So.
I really was like, oh no, we're having a problem.
We're always having some kind of problem.
But I just largely ignore the problems.
I hope that the audience will also do the same.
What's that?
And that's on vibes. Yes hope the audience will also do the same. What's that? And that's on vibes.
Yes, the Riz. I got the Riz, but I got Probs too. Probs and Riz.
Alright, Christina joining us remotely today as Chrissy has to take a little time off because she is sick.
She has got the junk. She's got the gunk. And it's literal. She has no voice whatsoever.
She went out to go see one of her friends out in San Francisco. So when she called me on Monday and was like, and it's literal, like she has no voice whatsoever.
She went out to go see one of her friends out in San Francisco.
So when she called me on Monday and was like,
or she texted me on Monday, I was like,
listen, I really don't have a voice right now.
So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to record this week.
And I was like, oh, come on,
you went out there party too hard
and you're now, you're just recovering from your party.
That's okay, take a day or two
and then you get nurse that hangover
to get right back into it.
But then she called me and I was like,
oh, there's no way I'm going through a whole hour
with that gravely ass voice of yours.
You gotta stay home girl or that's that thing.
I was in a band once.
I mean, everybody knows this 33P and Chopper Johnson,
all the phallic related names of bands that I was in.
And in this, one of these bands,
I had a voice coach because the band insisted that I go get a voice coach probably because I was terrible at singing and they were hoping that I could improve
I see this vocal coach. Yeah, it made sense to me now many years later. I realized maybe I was not the one you know
Eddie Vedder that I thought I was
So I go to this vocal core coach and then in the winter I get sick for some reason whatever. I'm sick
I'm also smoking cigarettes.
It's terrible.
So the band is like really on my ass.
We all lived in this one house together.
And they're like, dude, first of all,
fucking stop smoking cigarettes.
That's your instrument.
It'd be like me taking my guitar and setting it on fire.
You can't do that.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever.
I'd be young and dumb and just wanted to do what I wanted to do.
But then I lost my voice. And so someone in the band calls up the vocal coach
And it's like we got a gig and like you know five days and Brian's lost his voice
You know any tricks or tips or anything and the vocal coach is like don't talk
That's the trick you cannot talk like literally no talking for like three straight days
Milk and honey the whole nine yards You cannot talk at all to anyone
for any reason. And I was like, what? And so the band is
then insisting that I literally do not say a word for three
days. It's probably because maybe they didn't even make the
phone call. Maybe they just wanted me to show up for a
few minutes. I think that was like personal. That was personal.
Yeah. Yeah, that was. Astrid also wants the once the vocal
coach to call and say I shouldn't talk for three days
So for three days, I got like locked in this tiny little house that we were all living in no cigarettes
And they were feeding me like whiskey honey and milk or something along those lines oatmeal milk and whiskey or whatever it was
It was the most miserable three days of my life
You do not realize just how
important it is to communicate to people with your voice until someone, until you
lose it and then you can't talk to anyone with your voice. It's really
frustrating and it kind of made me bummed out and then we had the gig and I
fell off the stage so it didn't really work in my favor.
Too much whiskey.
Oh boy, yeah, that feels like a...
You were not at peak performance, I think
No, I'm not really sure when I've ever been at peak performance, but you know listen I
Try I'm getting out of here. I'm trying I don't smoke cigarettes anymore at least that's that's the good news
I also don't drink anymore. I think drinking actually does more damage
Yeah, you told me yesterday or the last time you're in here yesterday
He's all seems like yesterday you or the last time you were in here yesterday. You told me, it seems like yesterday. You told me last time you were in here.
You don't even know anybody that smokes cigarettes.
No one, you know, smokes cigarettes, huh?
No, I have like, I have like a couple of friends.
I have like one friend who smokes cigarettes.
And we're like, with the rest of my friends.
Well, they'll, yeah, like if they come over to my house, I'm like,
okay, you're going outside to the porch
and you do not open this door until you're done.
Oh, terrible, terrible.
Well, I'm like, you guys were talking the other day
about like the smoking places and you and Tina,
I think it was about like being a smoker in today's world.
And I was like, honestly, screw you guys.
I thought I want you to be in that little monkey cage.
I want people to look at you and spit.
I know.
But why so angry?
Like why so angry with the cigarettes?
I mean, I don't understand.
You don't want to be in the smoke.
Yeah, but like you're just endangering yourself.
You're endangering other people.
Like, what's the point? Like, what like you're just endangering yourself, you're endangering other people, like,
what's the point, like what are you doing?
Well, let me play the-
Also, I also think, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Yeah, okay.
Also, nowadays there are so many ways
for you to get your nicotine fix without smoking cigarettes.
So I'm like, grow up.
True, true.
But I'm also a known asshole.
You are a known asshole.
At least we all know that here.
Just kidding.
I get it.
I get your angle on this.
I totally agree with you.
And as a former cigarette smoker,
I am not on the cigarette bandwagon.
Like I'm not advocating for someone to smoke cigarettes.
As a matter of fact, I think it's one of the worst things
you can probably do to yourself,
especially at a young age,
because when you get hooked, it's really hard to stop.
It is like impossible, like heroin, worse than heroin, right?
I'm not gonna say maybe not worse than heroin,
but it's similar to heroin.
You get, well, at least you get high with heroin.
At least you get high with heroin. At least you get high with heroin.
Yeah.
There's some feeling of sensation.
With nicotine, it's just...
Heroin feels a little more fun, maybe.
As a known heroin addict and asshole, you would know.
So, here, but here's my question.
Here's my pushback on you.
I also believe that we should be able to do
whatever it is that we want to do as long as we are
not cars causing harm to other people. I don't mean anything under the sun. I don't
mean like you know inciting violence or anything like that. I mean just generally
right we shouldn't like step on other people's ability to do what they want
to do. They want to kill themselves with cigarettes or they would like the taste
of cigarettes or they whatever. Okay now that means you do have to be put in a room with good ventilation so it
could suck up the smoke, right? I don't want your cigarette smoke floating around
the airport. Yeah, because you're also putting other people in danger.
Correct. But if you're in, but what I was talking about on the show the other day
was now they have these glass tubes, they're tubes sitting in the middle of
the fucking Charles DeGaulle airport where
you literally look like an animal in a cage.
It's there for everybody to see.
It's an animal in a cage, it's tiny, it's the 70 people in there all on top of each other.
Maybe it's a form of public shaming.
Yeah, I'm not down with that.
I'm not down with the public shaming.
Well, I am down with the public shaming.
I do it all the time to Frankie B. But listen, that is besides the point.
I do that for a reason.
I'm trying to...
That's for my income.
That's for my income and that's a different story. And additionally, I don't beat up
Frankie's ability to keep on putting out terrible, terribly chauvinistic and bad advice to other
men of a certain age.
That's true.
But I just, I think that, you know, okay, put a room in the corner of the airport
where if you're on a long leg and you can't smoke in the plane,
can't smoke outside the airport with an 80 feet or whatever it is,
okay, give them a room so that they can go puff on their cigarettes and chill out.
Also, I really don't want a bunch of stressed out nicotine addicts,
you know, running around in airport.
That's why I think that's why we're having some problem in the airport.
Suck on a little Zin pouch.
You know, I just was reading about these Zin pouches.
I didn't even know they existed.
And then one of my friends had a pack of them.
And I was like, are you chewing?
Are you really dipping?
Like if there's something worse than cigarette smoking,
it's dipping.
They're sucking.
Yeah, they're sucking these little tiny strips
and it's bringing them nicotine.
It's like nicotine gum without all the-
It's like a pouch.
Yeah.
I saw it.
But it's so tiny.
I had a boyfriend once.
Oh.
I wouldn't say it's tiny.
I had a boyfriend one time who...
He wasn't actually my boyfriend, but we were lovers.
We're calling that.
Oh, girl!
Go!
I had a lover one time who absolutely...
I stay risen and I absolutely stay jizz in.
You know me.
So anyway, I had a boyfriend and he was into these ZIN pouches and we went on a little road trip
together like through like these national parks and all this stuff like this and it absolutely drove me
freaking bonks just how often we always had to stop to go get Zins.
And I was like, can you just not suck on this little,
just constantly, it was always like,
well, we need to get Zins today.
We need to get Zins or I'm gonna die.
And I was like, I, exactly.
And I was like, bro, calm down with the fucking Zins.
Like just put a patch on.
Like, what are you doing?
I was like, why are you focused on the zens
when I'm around?
Well, listen, never did I let cigarettes
get in the way of a good lay, right?
I mean, if someone didn't like cigarettes,
I'd put the cigarettes down for a couple hours.
That was okay, I was cool with that.
I'm done.
I'm done.
I quit, I quit for the next five and a couple hours. That was okay. I'm cool with that. I'm done. I quit for the
next five and a half minutes. The next five and a half minutes, all the attention goes
on. You're a beautiful body. So let me ask you this. A beautiful body. A beautiful body.
Which that line never worked, by the way. So let me ask you this. I'm not sure any of
my lines ever worked. How often would you stop for those Zins packs?
Was he like a one pack a day guy,
or was he like a two pack a day guy?
Or, oh really?
Like one pack a day.
Wow, that seems like a lot of Zins
to be putting in your mouth.
It seems like a lot of Zins to me too,
but I don't know if that was just like
because he was forgetful,
or if he was actually doing that many,
sucking on that many, I don't know what you even say for that.
But like, maybe he was just forgetful
because he wasn't that organized, I don't know.
It's like you had real admiration for this guy.
Oh, we didn't last.
Yeah, I know.
As evidenced by the fact that you're no longer together,
you probably weren't the right fit.
You know, he is a lovely person,
but just not the right person for me.
I didn't know these since existed until,
I know, listen, I agree with you.
You gotta go through a few.
I mean, you gotta burn some rubber
until you're gonna hit the road, right?
It's just the way that it is.
I don't, I never, I mean, there's a few people
that I've dated, this is completely off subject of Zinn, but there's a few people that I've dated this completely off-subjective of Zen
But there are a few people that I have dated that I probably I would be okay never communicating with again in my life
I think the relationship was toxic. I think it wasn't good for either of us
I think it in all in all three cases the girl three girls that I dated where I say to myself
No, no, no, no, don't want to talk to you don't want to see you in in public. In all three cases, I think it was just bad news for both of us, right?
For lots of different reasons.
But for the most part, I am grateful for the experiences that I've had, and I know that
the wrong ones led me to the right one and understanding what I want, what the right
one was, right?
What real caring and empathy was.
But none of them did zen.
And so none of them, I don't need to do do zen.
What the hell do you say that?
I dip zen like do zen.
I don't know, that's what I'm saying.
I'm like, I take zens.
You're not even taking them.
I'm just, I suck zens, I think.
Yeah, you put them under your lip and do that.
Maybe instead of saying to people like,
go suck a dick, you can say, go suck a zen.
Go suck a zen.
Go suck on the jizz, wizz, but you a zen. Go suck a zen, go suck on this jizz,
but this jizz.
Go suck a zen.
When we were,
Suck a zen, bitch.
Yeah, when we were teenagers,
you,
Don't say we, like we were teenagers at the same time, Brian.
Well, I'm saying we was in the collective we.
I'm trying to appeal to the younger audience
of which there's probably three, right?
And you might be one of them, but you're forced to
I'm not sure this is your first choice of podcast
Maybe not
But now that you're in it, you know
Just like I am to those zins those zooms I saw a
Twitter like a tweet an X a tweet, a twat, I don't even know what
you call them anymore, were Tucker, Tucker, Carl's, a Tuckle, Tuckle Carlson.
Tuckle, cuckle.
That's a better day for him.
Yeah, Tuckle, cuckle, cuckle.
They delivered him the world's largest ZIN package by helicopter.
He got like presented the world's largest ZIN package.
It had like 50,000 ZINs in it or whatever.
And it was literally the size of a house.
I mean, it was ridiculous.
But it was
a couple of cuckles suck ZINs.
Oh, you know that the couple cuckles suck something.
I'm sure he's always, he's definitely sucking something.
But I didn't know he sucked ZINs, but I guess you don't know until you're
already, it's already too late.
That's right.
Once you, once you're in it, but he's probably sucking it.
Well, I'm not going to say it. I'm not'm not gonna. I'm not gonna start some weird, you know
Internet content started an internet feud
You know, this is TZB now the Zen break. Oh, hey, there you go. I
That I would be willing to do Zen wants it
$50,000
I'm not too proud. I am not too proud to just go ahead and say that I now Zinn because Zinn is now a sponsor. We've said the words
enough. I'm probably going to get demonetized on YouTube for using the word Zinn. It's going
to be considered, you know, something that can't be said to the children. But here's,
here's what I wanted to share that when I was a teenager, I was a teenager. When I toured the high school that I was going to go to, right?
I went to Catholic school.
So when we toured the high school that we were gonna go to,
in the courtyard of this high school,
which was inside of the school, this big open courtyard,
there were seniors in high school, fancy indeed.
Well, the Catholics, they have a lot of money.
You know, the Catholic church got a ton of cash that they that spend it on schools. Yeah, it's all that blackmail
Hey, listen, let me get me started on that. All right, so
We toured that school in the courtyard during the lunch break
There were seniors in that school who were smoking cigarettes in the courtyard. They were smoking cigarettes
That's how either fucking old I
am or how fucking dumb people were.
I was gonna say, I mean like, I feel shocked, but I don't think I should be seeing this.
That was like 1962.
It's 62. I'm sure they were smoking in the classrooms. I don't know that the teachers
had to have been.
Probably were.
The teachers had to have been.
Someone. You watch.
You know, I should check in with my grandma because she was a headmistress in like the
sixties and fifties.
I don't know why that sounds so funny to me, headmistress.
Headmistress, I know.
Headmistress.
But I can't say she was a principal because she wasn't a principal, she was a headmistress.
Headmistress.
You know, I just, I was taking one of my kids on school tours and I saw a parking sign in
the parking lot that said headmistress is what it said and I found it
really weird that they would call anybody that anymore. But so then the next
year when I ended up going to the high school they banned cigarette smoking
altogether on the campus, right? But they would turn a blind eye to the seniors
smoking cigarettes out on the front lawn. And there was like a Texaco gas station right down the street.
And so during your lunch break,
it would not be uncommon to find like a dozen freshmen,
sophomore, juniors, whatever over at that Texaco
buying cigarettes.
The Texaco knew that we were underage
because we were wearing school uniforms.
They knew we were underage.
They never carded us and they always sold a cigarette.
And I'll tell you what, it was just like, I don't know if any person in my class that
I ever knew with any degree of, you know, intimacy, like I actually had a conversation
with, didn't at least smoke a cigarette on occasion, if not full blown cigarette smoke.
Wow. if not full-blown cigarette smoke. And this is like, the world is completely different now.
We're putting people in glass tubes
so that they can smoke cigarettes.
Is this an indication that the world is ending?
I don't know.
It seems a little strange to me.
But you know what?
I also feel like airports aren't real.
So like, nothing that happens in there is real.
It's a different universe.
We were just talking about this, Gina and I,
we were just talking about this the other day. It's a different universe. We were just talking about this. I was just talking about this the other day
It's a different fake. Yeah, I don't know what in the good fuck is going on at airports and airplanes
But I'm sure that the fabric of of the universe is coming apart at the seams
And I'm sure it's starting at airports and airplanes
Did you hear about this guy that was farting up a storm and they had to reroute the plane?
Did you hear about this guy that was farting up a storm and they had to reroute the plane?
Did you hear this?
Yeah, this is insane.
And the guy wasn't like, I'm sorry, I got a bad case
of the ass burps right now.
He was like, smell this, you smell my finger.
Ass burps, that's what I call them in front of my kids.
I say, hey, you got an ass burp?
Was that an ass burp?
Ass burps.
Ass burps. The ass burp was that an ass burp? I love that. I got a bad case of the ass burps on this flight. We got to turn it around boys.
They didn't even get off the ground.
They kicked him off the flight because he wasn't apologizing or asking to use the restroom. Was it, you know, if they were like loud or...
Yeah, oh, the description on the Reddit page.
Yes, they were loud and they were so offensive that everybody on the plane started to complain to the stewards and the stewardesses that, hey, listen,
I don't know if I can make an entire flight with this going on.
And they were flying from like,
I think it was from Phoenix to Austin, Texas.
It was like a two hour flight.
And they didn't even get off the ground.
The pilot had to turn the plane around
and they got the guy off the flight.
But I think part of the reason,
according to some of the people that were on the plane,
a claim to have been on the plane on Reddit,
I will say this, right?
They have confirmed that this actually did happen,
but there were people on Reddit that were having fun with it, right? They have confirmed that this actually did happen, but there were people on Reddit that were, you know,
having fun with it, right?
So they claim-
Being people on Reddit.
Being people on Reddit,
where you gotta believe what's on Reddit.
So they claimed that the guy was like making jokes.
He was like, smell my finger, you know, pull my finger.
Shit like that, like a grown ass adult, man.
Having the poots on an airplane.
This is like the poots on an airplane.
This is like the poots.
The poots.
Ryan.
My ex-wife used to say that about the dog.
She'd be like, oh, the dog's got the poots.
It's like the poots.
You know what?
Okay, just a quick sidebar. Having the poots. It's like the poots of fucking fucking about. Just a quick sidebar.
Having the poots in Britain, they'll call a fart either a pump or a Trump.
And so my weirdest part was like what we literally elected a fart for president.
A Trump.
It's not crazy.
It's a fart.
Anyway, so you have a grown man has the poots on the plane.
He's got the poots on the plane and he can't help himself.
He thinks this is the funniest thing in the world and no one else thinks it's funny.
And so they turn the plane around and just, it is absolutely disgusting.
Now listen, everyone has stomach problems every once in a while, but as I was sharing
with Tina, I said the appropriate thing to do is number one
Don't get on the plane if you're really in that bad of a condition you say listen
I got to change flights and I'm embarrassed to tell you why but I got tummy problems
And I don't think anybody wants to be stuck in the tin can with me, right?
I think that's the adult thing to do them a very mature thing to do might be hard to admit that
But if you're saying pull my finger then I don't think you have any shame in telling people that you have the butt trumpets, right?
And so, the guy just coming up with different names for farts.
I know, I love it. I'm here for it.
Yeah, but the other part is, you just can't then make a big joke out of it because other people are not going to find that funny that their entire flight is ruined because you had a double bubble fart burger from Hardee's this morning. You know what I'm saying?
Whoo! Yeah, I mean, listen, I think everyone has been on a flight and God bless you if
it was a long haul flight with someone who is a farter. And it is truly one of the worst,
one of the worst experiences you can have on an airplane.
I agree. Of which there are many.
But someone next to you who is constantly farting is,
whoo, that's bad.
That's just disrespectful.
It's not a good look.
I agree.
And listen, these planes are super well ventilated.
Like turn on your air thing and they'll go in the bathroom
or you know, I don't care if you have to be
in the bathroom the entire flight. Someone once said to me that airplane air is just
recycled farts and I think about it every time I'm on an airplane. Correct but
it's recycled farts it goes through a filter you know what I'm saying? I'm not feeling great about it.
I'm not feeling great about it I'm'm not feeling great about it. I'm with you on this one, but at least it's filtered, right?
If the dumbass next to me is just letting loose in a bad way,
I think I'm also going to say to the flight attendants,
I'm going to say, hey, listen, I can't sit here,
or you got to do something with this guy, lock him in the bathroom.
Which the airplane behavior is so bad these days.
Yeah, lock him in the bathroom. There was guy in on a flight down in South America somewhere who got locked in the bathroom for the
Entirety of the three-hour flight. Did you read that one? And they had to kick down the door when they land out that one
That's like my nightmare. That's my nightmare not where I want any stuck
No, and if I don't have my phone,
I am literally breaking myself out of there.
Oh my God, yeah, there was a time in my life
for the first, I don't know, 18 years of my life
where I was flying relatively regularly over to Scotland
and I was so freaked out by airplane bathrooms
I just would not go.
And so I would literally hold my pee for eight hours,
nine hours, whatever.
I was like, I gotta do it, I gotta do it.
I'm not going in there.
I would rather die by UTI than go in that bathroom.
However, I have since grown.
Yeah. Well, listen, it's a UTI filled event
when you have to go into those restrooms
and I really feel bad for the women
because there's no way to control the direction of your pee.
Especially, I've actually been on a flight
when I was in the restroom experiencing turbulence
and I like my feet lifted off the ground,
that's how much turbulence there were
and I held the pee.
Because first of all, I couldn't pee
because I was shaking around so much.
You know, I'm a sensitive kind of guy
if I'm not in the right condition.
Someone's been doing his Kegels.
I caught my Kegels hard, dude.
I'm Tantra Yoga, baby.
I used to be doing Kegels sensitively.
I was a little itty-bitty, Brian.
Back when I was getting locked in.
Yeah. That's it. That's how you do it.
Keep a healthy prostate.
So, okay, let's do this.
Let's take a break, and then I want to share with you
a couple stories that I think a further
evidence that the fabric of the earth is tearing apart right now.
The fabric of the psyche of the human race is tearing apart right now.
And we'll talk about some positive uplifting stuff like how it's all coming to an end.
We'll do that in just one second.
Let's listen to you do the break.
We'll be back.

Okay, if you've listened to any amount of the commercial break,

and added sugars.

Like never before have I ever felt I ever needed to do you.
I'm just sharing that with you.
Sure, yeah, yeah, uh-huh.
I was like vigorously applying Chapstick on the break.
What's your Chapstick choice?
Well I'm using the Vaseline, which I know is, you know.
You know, no, I'm with you because I have my tiny little aqua four right here.
Okay, I have an aqua four somewhere around the house
Too I have three of them ones in the studio ones in my bathroom ones in my bedroom
And so I'll use it. I know I don't you all this sudden
I started getting dry lips like this year and I don't know why because it's not stopped raining in seven months here and
But it was super dry when it was really cold. Yeah, yes
Because I was getting static shocks left right and center every single day
I couldn't pet my cat without shocking one of us. That's crazy. Isn't it?
I was playing it. We were playing this game with my kids
We rub this soft blanket on their heads and their hair stand up and then we turn off the lights and you can see the electric shock
Right, you can see the electric. It's so much fun, but it's kind of it kind of hurts like it not hurts, but it's like
It's shock. It's a shock. it's like, it's a shock.
You're like, oh my gosh.
Sometimes it hurts.
Sometimes it hurts.
That's what she said.
Sometimes it hurts.
All right, I'll move on.
My boss, ladies and gentlemen.
Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Da-da.
That's what you get.
That's what you get.
I signed up for this.
When you go to work for an old white man.
Old white man thinks he's funny.
Improv comedy quote-unquote. Just means he's not brave enough to do stand-up comedy or
good enough to do stand-up comedy.
That's a truth and truth hurts, buddy.
The truth does hurt. I agree with you. That's why I just say whatever I want. Say whatever
comes to mind. I don't care. Now, important stuff to talk about. Have you been keeping,
you care one fucking bit about the NFL to play off any of that stuff?
No.
Okay, well at least you're being honest.
I don't care either. If there's one thing that I care about football-wise,
it's the college football, and I only get into that so I can speak
with some bit of knowledge to my brothers about college football because they are big things. It's peer pressure. I know I want to be part of
the group so I don't know the first thing about any of that so I just listen
to this I listen to the broadcasters and I repeat what they say. I'm like oh you see
that defensive backers they need a new tackle in there. I don't know why they're
running slant passes all the time.
Yeah, first in 30.
That's the only thing I know.
The only football thing I know is first in 10.
Slant Pass to the left or whatever, right?
Look, he's in the pocket.
I say that a lot.
He's good in the pocket.
I know that my brothers are like,
Oh, Brian knows a little bit of something.
What's the pocket though, Brian? What's the pocket?
I have no clue.
I don't know.
I know what it means in music.
It's mean when you're really there.
I know what nature's pocket is.
That's the vagina.
Hey now!
And the vagina is not just the opening.
It's a lot of other things, as Dr. Sin once told us.
But let's move past the vagina.
Yes, move it.
Because I have enough vagina talking in my house already.
I don't need anymore. So the NFL, Taylor Swift, is obviously that has been non-stop talked
about the entire season because she's dating that Travis Kelsey guy. And many
many Kansas City chief fans believe that she is bad luck. She's an omen. She's not
you know she's not all she's cracked up to be.
And I think this just comes because-
How come they've been doing well?
They just lost in the playoffs.
Oh, I was just thinking, well, they're still playing.
So I was like, oh yeah, well, they must be doing well.
Me too, right?
I assume that if you're playing this deep into the season,
you got something going on for you.
But in the NFL, you can still have like a seven and nine
record and get into playoffs.
I don't know, I'm not that, I don't wanna speak about it
because I don't know the first thing about it.
But I do know.
That's never stopped either of us before,
but I love that journey.
Love that journey for you.
It's good.
My feet hurt, but it's good.
So I am like, okay, why are all the chief fans upset
because apparently Travis does very well when Taylor's in the house.
He's trying to impress his lady, you know?
He's trying to impress a significant other.
He wants her to know that he does a good job at the job he does.
And it seems like he does do pretty well when she's there watching the game.
So except for the last game, which they lost another out of the playoffs.
So this all leads me to this weird article that I read about Taylor Swift just a couple
of days ago, like maybe yesterday.
The AI, which I think is an extraordinary technology that is extraordinarily dangerous,
used the wrong way.
And of course, we're going to use it the wrong way, because look at the fucking internet.
It was also an extraordinary technology that is now just a total shit show. Yeah. The Kansas, some Kansas City chiefs fans
are so angry with Taylor Swift they have been using a website and I think that I
don't want to give the whole name of the website out because I don't think this
is right that people are using this but it's something along the lines of
create my girlfriend right or create or you create my porn, whatever it is.
What you do is you throw in a picture of whomever you'd like
and then the AI goes out there
and it finds pornographic images
that can be married up very specifically
to the picture that you put out.
Cuts out the face and puts it on a porn image
and then there you go.
Don't like it whatsoever.
So they have been making some incredibly crass Taylor Swift images because I guess because
they're so angry that this woman decided to fuck with their football.
I'm not really sure why anybody would do this.
Yeah, life, honestly.
Listen, there's lots of people out there who are perverted and probably just wanted to
see this anyway, but then I think this comes with a bit of spite because I didn't see the actual images
but I saw caricatures of the images
and it was like, holy shit guys, really?
I mean, that's like violent, weird, crazy stuff.
I'm sure it's just people being really degrading, you know,
violent men to women, et cetera, et cetera.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree with you a thousand percent, right?
There's just, I think there's just some dudes out there
who just can't get over it
They're so angry for whatever reason for lots of reasons. I'm sure their mother their last girlfriend
They're never girlfriend the girlfriend that they want the girlfriend that they can't have whatever it is
Being told a lot of bullshit from a lot of different other angry men and you should be angry too and this reason and that reason
Whatever, but I think the real problem is the website in and of itself.
Like I think this should be outlawed and there are certain states that are now putting bills
forward to outlaw the creation of pornographic images, the creation and distribution of pornographic
images that are not real, digitally altered pornographic images and I think
this should be outlawed. Do you remember maybe ten years ago there was a website
out there and I think it was called the something it was a place where you
could go. There's something very specific. Thank you very. I'm good at this. I'm really good at my job
Just like Travis just like trap. Hey, there was a website where you could go and you could just submit
randomly you didn't have to do anything you could submit a
pictures and stories
Mainly about women though the remen involved in it
You know, you could say oh this girl is a whore.
She gave me herpes.
She's the sluttiest girl on the block, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, all the nasty words,
all the nasty things.
You could put it up on this website.
It was unmonitored, unfiltered.
I mean, I say it was unmonitored, somebody owned it, right?
And then you could base,
it was basically revenge porn on one platform,
all right there.
And some of these images were gross and nasty and some were just pictures of a particular
person.
But that person had zero opportunity to take them down.
They claim that you could write in and you could say, hey, listen, that's me.
Take that down.
And that they would take care of it.
They would moderate it.
But that didn't happen.
A lot of people got, a lot of people sued this particular particular guy and one guy ended up buying the website from him for
like I don't know what I forget what it was $8,000 or something and shutting it
down all together because he was so upset that this was happening and so I
say heroes don't wear capes good for him but then second of all like shouldn't
this stuff just shouldn't we first of all shouldn't we as human beings probably just not do this kind of shit
But then second of all shouldn't there be a law against just randomly
You know putting up pornographic pictures of people and saying not like a form of like slander or libel or something
I don't really know the legal definitions of those but that's what it sounds like to me
But I'm not a lawyer.
The challenge in that particular law is you first of all the person has to be of note
to create slander. They have to be a person of note. You can't just I can't.
It's illegal to talk shit.
It's illegal to talk shit. Exactly right. It's illegal to talk shit which I don't agree with.
You should be able to talk shit about whatever you want.
Isn't revenge porn illegal right? Revenge porn is illegal. I believe in all 50 states
Yeah, but it's hard to prove and it's hard to say that you know, that's that's what happened
Like if you if I take a picture half this stuff is it's like he said she said and you would think people would just be better
But they're not this is why this is a this is proof number proof of many right
another piece of evidence that yet the fabric of society is coming apart like
shouldn't we as human beings no matter how angry we are with a person just kind
of like you know share it with our friends that we're really angry at this
lady or this dude exactly don't put it on the internet or come to the commercial
break when no one will hear it.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
It's just that's what...
I have such a hard time believing that people are so upset with another human being that
they would do this in such a public way as to ruin somebody's life forever.
I google, you know, Brian Green and there's all this drama about him that he doesn't have a chance to say back, this is bullshit. And I don't know what to
do, but I wish I could do something.
I'm mad too.
You seem so angry.
I'm mad. Well, I'm mad, but I think I'm also just a woman, so I'm of used to it It's really a shit under the stick isn't it? Yeah, I mean like revamporn was a really big thing when I was in college
So oh was it was like a lot of dudes just were like
Oh, this girl's tits
Yeah, just like a people being bad and it's like we just it was like this is not okay
And so I don't know I think a lot of times just being a woman,
like even in the dating world,
like you're afraid to reject someone for fear of them,
like, I don't know, doxing you in some way,
or like being aggressive towards you physically,
or on social media, or whatever it might be.
Like, we're genuinely afraid to go on a date with someone
because we might get murdered.
So like, it's just, I'm serious.
I know, I get it. I know.
This is something like I'm not even fucking joking.
It's fun. I'm like, it's a lifetime movie but it's not really a lifetime movie. It's
like actual life.
You know how many people in my life have my location? All of them.
It's true.
I share my location with everyone and I'm like, I'm going on a date with this person
at this time time at this location
Here's his picture in case he murders me, but hoping it goes well
That is terrible
That's what I send out every time I go on a date. Do you really yeah, I got daughters man. That scares the shit out of me
Oh, yeah, good luck man. It's not fun
Yeah, you know the the readily available information on the internet makes it super that much more scary because like
You know, I'm a teenager or a guy in my early 20s. It's just like things happened organically
We didn't that internet was around but it wasn't like everybody had everybody's information on the internet
And so didn't have an email till like 2010. I did not have an email until like 2010.
That's right.
Well, maybe not 2010.
But in the 2000s.
Yeah, 2007, that's right.
Now, 9-11, I decided it's time for me to get one of those email addresses.
It's time.
The phone's got all yacked up because of all the drama up north and so I think I gotta
get an email to talk to my dad.
All the drama up north.
Love that. Yeah, I think guys could pause on that for a second so I can call my dad and let him know that I'm in Atlanta
And nowhere close to any of the drama
And so is he so we're fine everything's okay. Yeah, all those people. What's going on up there?
You stop for a second. I could see if anybody recorded
TLC on my VCR.
Did you see there's a new TLC show coming out called
The Lost in Translation?
Yes, Lost in Translation or whatever it is,
Love in Translation.
Love in Translation.
I think about you every time it gives me
a little commercial for Love in Translation.
I'm like, I gotta watch that.
Okay, so off the revenge porn for a second,
let me tell you that I was talking to a friend of mine
and he was having some relationship troubles
and I'm not good at relationship advice
because I'm no expert on relationships, right?
But I tell him, I say, listen,
he goes, I just don't feel like
there's a lot of intimacy going on, right?
It's like in a way that I want, like a closeness,
like not about sex, but a closeness that I want.
He's a sensitive guy, he wants a closeness. An emotional intimacy. He's an emotional intimacy. So I said, I want like a like a closeness like not about sex but a closeness that I want he's a sensitive guy you want some emotional intimacy emotional intimacy
so I said I want you to know what everyone wants I think so I think so you
know you're pansexual so you may know better than anybody like emotional
intimacy is what you want it's the scariest part though it is the scariest
part you got to you got to open up the doors you got to let people in so I say
to him so so listen,
I want you to try and exercise that I learned
a long time ago and it's benefited me
in a lot of relationships and not just intimate relationships
or like boyfriend, girlfriend or whatever.
Sit in front of somebody that you wanna be
emotionally intimate with and you stare into their eyes
for 20 minutes, start a timer, 20 minutes.
Stare in the eyes, not at the nose,
not at the eyebrow, in the eyes, exactly in the eyes.
It'll take you a minute to settle down,
you get the giggles out, everybody will have a little laugh.
And then, if you don't walk away from that,
crying, then you're a psychopath
and you need to go immediately to the therapist.
Really?
Really, really, try it.
20 minutes is such a long time.
It's a very long time.
So now listen.
So you do that in like Meisner technique.
Yeah.
Like look into someone's eyes first, your partner,
your like seeing partner, whatever.
Yeah.
To like feel those emotions.
Connected.
Right.
Yeah.
But it's not for that long and I'm just curious.
So I did this one time with a stranger at a retreat.
And it was my first retreat ever.
And it was a tantra retreat, not like an orgy,
but a retreat, right?
Where we were learning breathing techniques
and all this other stuff.
I did this, the first exercise that we do
after we do it, some stretching
and some haze and hallows and all that other stuff.
There's like 20 people in the room, mainly boy girls.
So it's like almost even 10, 10. And I got partnered with a stranger who became a friend of mine.
I got partnered with the stranger. I didn't make it five minutes. I was weeping like a fucking child.
It all came to me. I wasn't looking at a stranger. I was looking at myself and all the flaws and all
the beauty and I was grateful for all of it. I was terrified about all of it and it just all came flooding in
and I was no hokey pokey mystic bullshit guy.
I was like, I refused to go to these retreats
for like three years until someone dragged me into one.
And then I was convinced that I was like,
holy shit, a new world opened up for me.
Now, back to TLC's show.
So I'm sitting here editing or working on the show the other
night and this pops on in the background. Well, I'm not listening to it. I'm not paying
any attention to it. But then all of a sudden, I start paying attention. They are doing this
in two-minute intervals with each of the people that they cannot speak the other language.
No one on one side speaks English and no one on the other side speaks whatever language the other person is speaking literally none
zero. So the person who's conducting this says hey sit in front this is the
exercise we're gonna do you're gonna pair up for two minutes at a time and
you're gonna watch it. Not one of the people that I watched was not in tears at
the end of the two minutes. It was like I was like oh my god this is This is insane I was just talking about this so but otherwise I'm not watching the show and I'll explain why
TLC is best when you can just listen to it and occasionally turn around to see
What kind of shithead is saying what?
But this show lost in translation. They don't have any like no one speaking on their rehab
No, lost in translation. They don't have any, like no one's speaking on their reactions.
You actually have to watch it.
You have to watch it.
I want to watch it.
Fuck!
What's that?
I want to watch it.
I want to see what's going on.
Turn that shit on and report back to me.
Let me know.
If you've got enough time to watch two hour shows that's got some titles, please let me
know.
Report back.
Come back to the show.
I will call that work.
That's research.
First of all, what are you doing watching TLC?
Are you on the 90 day fiance or some shit like that?
No, it was coming on on Peacock
when I was watching, I don't know,
Summer House or the Housewives or something.
Oh my god, are you another one with the Housewives?
Yeah, I love the Housewives.
I love them.
God, you and Chrissy, you and Chrissy should get together
and talk about this thing, Housewives.
I told her the other day, I said I'm a great wine and bravo companion.
I'm going to tell you my housewives story.
Why don't we take a short break and then I'm going to tell you my housewife story
and why I probably will never watch the housewives with any degree of like
fandom.
I'm going to share with you that story when we get back.
And then I want to tell you another story that I've got that pretty much shares
that the fabric of the world is coming up.
Coming up revenge porn and farting guys on planes. It's all here at the commercial break.
Finally I feel like I was waiting forever for my turn to talk.
Now that I have you go to TCBpodcast.com to find all of our audio and video content,
and follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCBpodcast.
Want it to be your turn to talk?
Call us and spill the tea at 626-ASK-TCB3, and you may hear your voice on the show.
You can also text us your tea at 8x5-TCB-8383, and boy do we love to hear it.
Anyway, take a listen to our sponsors and
let's get back to the show.
Okay, so it's, I want to say it's 2012 and I am part of an organizing, part of a streaming,
it's right before podcasts came online.
And this guy came to me and he said,
I wanna start a streaming radio slash video station
beyond 24 hours a day, no genres,
people of all flavors and types are gonna come in,
they're gonna have a show, you're gonna manage it,
I'll pay you to do it, all right?
And so I was like
Oh, that's really cool. That sounds like a really cool idea. So that it was called Sim Cole FM the guy who was
The business partner on this it's called the the funder of this isn't that guy named Simon Guabadia
and I've done an episode on Simon Guabadia and
So I called it I now called scam call FM because the guy was just a terrible human being
But and he ended up screwing a lot of people out of a lot of money, but that's a different story altogether
I don't want to get over it
He is now on the real house or he was for a season on the Real Housewives of Atlanta
Married to Portia. I think Portia de Rossi. Is that right? Well, I don't really it's Portia. Yeah, that's yeah
That's Ellen's I don't really watch Atlanta? It's Portia that's Ellen's.
I don't really watch Atlanta
because it's kind of too close to home.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I'm just like, yeah, I don't really need to watch it.
But then again, Nini is honestly amazing.
I love her.
I think she's hilarious.
She has the most quotable lines.
I just, I love her so much.
So I don't really watch Atlanta.
Okay. So all of those housewives
There was a music so we had the streaming studio and then right next to it
There was a music studio very famous music studio
I won't mention because it wasn't it was kind of part of this whole drama
But it wasn't part of this whole drama and so between the music studio and the streaming station
Which everybody thought was like, you know super cool even though really wasn't, they thought it was awesome, right?
And so famous people would come by all the time.
And they were, you know, these famous people, some of them were housewives of Atlanta at
one point or another, or I think at the time there might have been some from New York that
came down or whatever.
So they would come in the studio all the time.
One of them got, one of them had a friend.
That friend was on the streaming station.
That friend got approached by the same production company
that was doing Real Housewives of Atlanta
to do her own show, like a break off of this show
on a different network altogether.
For some reason, and I don't really remember
the circumstances, I was at a bar in an afternoon
where this girl was filming for this particular show.
Okay.
Christina, it could not have been more staged.
Could not have been more staged.
It was staged for drama, it was staged for drunkenness, it was staged for bullshit.
None of it was real.
None of it appeared to be real.
Are you surprised?
I know. The real house of it appeared to be real. I know I
The real housewives are don't live in Atlanta most of them do not have any money
Like it's it's all fictitious, and I'm sure what that's why I like Beverly Hills
Because they have the real money, and they have people problems like just rich people fucking problems Is that your favorite version of the show?
Like, just rich people fucking problems. Is that your favorite version of the show?
Actually, hot.
Okay, no.
I have my three faves, our Beverly Hills,
Salt Lake City, because if you know, you know.
Proof, timeline, screenshots, everything.
Okay, sorry.
So we've got Salt Lake City,
and then Miami is really slept on.
Miami is so fucking wild.
I just love it.
So you're watching all of these?
Well, yeah.
Christina.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm caught up on all of them.
So I'm watching like one episode on a Wednesday.
Gotcha.
One episode on a Thursday. One episode on a Tuesday.
But like, Salt Lake City just finished.
Miami's still going right now.
Beverly Hills I think is still going.
They're like reaching the end of their season I think.
So it's not really like,
it's not a big commitment at this point
because I've already done it.
Yeah, it's like watching one show a night.
You're just, whenever they come on,
you record them and then you watch through them.
Record them, aw, no.
Oh, you just go streaming?
You go streaming?
I just watch them on Peacock.
I don't Tivo them.
No, no more Tivo.
I do remember hooking up a Tivo for my former mother-in-law.
That was the whole thing.
Tivo was so cool, but I was not rich enough to have Tivo.
No, but you can only record,
like the first version, you can only record
like 10 hours of television at a time.
And then they had the second generation
where you do like 100 hours and people thought,
oh my God, how'd you get a, who has 100 hours of TV?
Now I've got this direct TV thing in the way.
The reason I say record is cause I've got direct TV
and we have unlimited recording hours my
Kids have gone through and press record on every single television show that ever existed
If I want to find something I just look at my DVR because it's gonna be there because my kids record at all
It's unbelievable
So
Yeah, it's not that I have anything particular
against the housewives.
I just know how fictitious or how the producers
prod them along so much.
They navigate and manipulate the stories
and they cut and edit and make it look all dramatic.
That being said, there is some real drama.
There is, no doubt.
I'm sure there is.
There is some real drama.
And if you had watched Salt Lake City this season,
you would know.
Do you wanna know something about Salt Lake City? I just read something. I was so furious about this Stanley Cup shit.
I know it's furious, but I was like, I was like, God, these damn consumers, these damn consumers.
What do you give a shit about the Stanley Cup? Who cares? Get another one of the
35,000 steel cups that hold water just like every other cup.
Why do you need a pink Stanley cup? Why is everyone beating each other up?
I just read that a woman got busted going in. Did you see that? She had like 60 of them or something.
Yeah. They set it up like a fucking drug bust.
They put all the Stanley cups on top of the police car and they were like,
yeah, look at all these bricks of stain. It's insane. Why are you? Okay, so then I'm like, how did this really start? Right?
Who? Because they went from $75 million in annual revenue to $750 million in annual revenue
in the course of three years. That's an insane amount of growth. So what I read, like this
investigative journalist had the same question, how did this all get started who started this big trend.
You know what I heard I heard that the Mormon house mothers who are in mommy bloggers with the mommy bloggers that's right they are they are outsized influencers for a very you know my know relatively minority group of human beings.
minority group of human beings, they are like outsized influencers and that apparently everything they touch
when it comes to mommy blogging is gold. Yeah, right? They just go and some of these bloggers are like the original internet
Like they started everything
I'd say mommy
Blogging yeah, yeah stuff like the podcast something that mommy podcasts, stuff like that.
Mommy bloggers are it. That's it.
So yeah, it started with the Mormon Mommy bloggers.
And they are fascinating to watch.
Like I get sucked into like Mormon TikTok sometimes
just because it's so interesting.
And I just like, well,
cause it's so different from the world I live in.
Okay.
So, so different in, in what sense?
Because they're sheltered.
They're like, what would you,
they'll like interview people on BYU campus?
And they'll be like what would you rather do say a curse word or kill a cat and they're like kill a cat
You would kill a cat. Yeah. Oh, I saw that yeah
I was one smart ass was out there. I did see some of this
He was on the BYU campus and he's like,
kiss with tongue before marriage or do it at the butt.
And they were like, oh, do it at the butt.
I was like, oh my God.
Or like when they, oh shoot, I forgot.
Oh, like when they do like dance challenges,
but like make it Jesus friendly.
Oh.
Or this isn't the Mormons,
this is just like other Christian TikTok,
but they'll like change the lyrics of the songs
so that they can do like the like, you know the Doja Cat that was on there was like, ooh,
she the devil, she a bad little bitchy rebel, they like turned it into a song about Jesus.
Oh, he's a Jesus!
Yeah, he believed us.
Ooh, he's the king, like, we love him so much. I don't know, it was so dumb.
This is some of my favorite shit on the internet. I. This is some of my favorite shit on the internet.
I love it.
Some of my favorite shit on the internet.
Excuse me, I got sucked into Christian TikTok.
I didn't have time to put it together today,
so maybe Christian, I'll do it next week.
I found a primetime sitcom,
it was supposed to be a primetime sitcom,
they made like five episodes of it.
It's this Christian sitcom, where they meet certain challenges.
Like, you know, one guy wants to go to a fine arts community college,
but that's where Satan teaches, you know?
And then another person went to jail because they stole a piece of candy
and Satan came for them.
One day they came in and there was a guy with a knife in the house,
a drug addict with a knife in the house and he was threatening to kill everybody, but they read him the Bible and he got saved.
These are literally 30 minute episodes of this and it is terrible.
It is terrible and I cannot wait to review every single episode because I'm like, this is exciting to me.
You said thirsty for content and you know what? Jesus answered.
Jesus provided, that's right. You're right about that look at me. I'm saved I
Am saved
I am saved. Thank you, baby
Such
So so weird I have I have friends I actually I actually have a business partner who's Mormon
But he's not like at least he doesn't share that in on the business side of his life like you would never know
except you live in that's smart except his office in Salt Lake City and
And over time we got to know them as friends also and we knew and they're perfectly reasonable lovely
Absolutely, you know, I just love his family. I adore them. I think they're really super sweet and super nice
So I don't get the sense that they're like super hardcore Mormon. But
my best friend when I was in my early 20s, we lived together for like five years.
She was a Mormon who was on a journey. She was Mormon. She identified as Mormon,
but she needed to know what else was out there in the world. So we went on a road
trip. I got her drunk one time and that was super
interesting. She then she swore she was never gonna do it again. But I had to ask a lot
of questions about the Mormon religion and I found out maybe more than I ever wanted
to know. But it's, it's a start digging. It's not good. There's some stuff in there that's
not good. But once you start digging on any religion, there's some stuff that's just not
good. Yeah, it's a little, it's a little weird. I mean, I'm Catholic, I grew up Catholic.
Also bad.
Terrible. Terrible. I'm not Catholic actually. I don't identify as Catholic. I haven't identified
as Catholic in 30 years. But there's reasons behind that is because I see the hypocrisy,
I know the hypocrisy, and my family has been affected by the hypocrisy directly.
And it is the most atrocious kind of hypocrisy, the one where you actually damage people's lives for
fucking ever, and they can't come back from it. It's horrible. It's terrible.
All under the name that Jesus is, you know, you're doing this for the Lord, right? And it's like, holy fucking shit.
Jesus was a cool guy. He wouldn't have done that shit
I mean according to what I read on the
He was busy with the shrooms
He was busy with the shrooms. My favorite is the preachers though. I love to do a good preacher episode because
You know, did you hear about this?
TDjakes guy, do you know who TDjakes is? Okay, he's on Oprah
He's world famous. He's on television and I actually have watched the guy a number of times and I thought oh
He's got some reasonable stuff to say not about the Lord and all that but just in general life advice, right?
It seems like a guy not about the Lord because that's all hunky-punky bullshit, but about life in general, right?
He's just like he seems like okay
This guy's been around the block and he says some things that I found to be-
He's not completely deluded. Completely. Not completely deluded.
But then there's- what's going on in the internet with TDJakes right now is fucking wild.
He apparently was friends with P. Diddy and now he was at P. Diddy parties.
He was having sex with men. they were video taping it.
Remember how Peediddy, that lady claimed
that Peediddy would like to watch her having sex
with multiple male prostitutes, that was one of her claims?
Yeah.
This, T.D. Jakes somehow got caught up in all that.
And now he was also having sex
with multiple male prostitutes.
This is the thing about preachers,
they just have a reputation for being pervs.
That's it.
It's like, why?
Like, there are so many of you who are pervs.
Like, you can't convince me that you're not at this point.
I know.
Listen, I know it takes a few rotten apples
to spoil a bunch, right?
Well, we're passed a few at this point.
We are way passed a few at this point.
I mean, you look at like a lot of these preachers
and it seems like the things that they are preaching against
are the things that they are doing.
It's like that one guy, whatever his name was here
in Atlanta, he was preaching for the brand new
$500 million airplane and he was like,
God told me I needed the airplane.
And people were like, what?
You really need the airplane?
Do you really need the airplane? Or the fuck twad in Texas when the floods came?
God said so that's right when the when the floods came in Texas the guy shot the doors
To his church because he didn't want to get the carpet ruined. It's like oh my god, dude
Really you are out there preaching every Sunday and you want to close the doors so you don't get the carpet dirty
out there preaching every Sunday and you want to close the doors so you don't get the carpet dirty. The crazy thing to me is just like the, like you were saying, the hypocrisy because it's all just like
actually the things that Jesus like did and said and believed in like helping people as fortunate
than yourself, etc. is extremely what the church is against. Yes. That's literally like their number one thing is like,
nah, we're actually only going to help ourselves. All about that leprosy and poor people. Like,
that was a moment. He had a moment, he really didn't mean it, but all the other stuff where he
told you to get rich and fly planes and, you know, have sex with prostitutes. That stuff,
where did he say that? Well, you got to read the, you know, the Gospel of John 32.77 where he says,
thou shall lay down with hookers every night.
It's unbelievable.
Did you read about all that nitty stuff?
Yes.
What did you, I heard about some of it.
What was your take on that?
What is your opinion?
I mean, my opinion is, well, my opinion is believe women, you know?
Yeah.
Like, because it's not a fun thing to come out against someone and say that you were taken
advantage of.
No, it's not.
So, that's like, my opinion is gonna be like, believe women until like, until she's fully
proven wrong, you know?
And I don't think she will be.
I think if you're coming forward with this, then it's pretty uh... pretty bad for P. Diddy.
He cut her a 20 million dollar check supposedly.
Yeah, I know.
She was out there for four days, and then he cut her a 20 million dollar check.
Four fucking days.
And so like, he screams guilty.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't...
The thing, like, it was so...
such a big part of the culture at that time to take advantage of women and so I'm like well, you know
The track record isn't looking good. It's not looking good
And now like not that I ever thought this guy was a hero of mine in any way shape or form
But now that all the ladies from the Playboy Mansion is saying you know Hugh Hefner was quite the character too
I watched that docu-series.
Did you?
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Is it like damning?
It's really damning?
It's bad.
It's bad.
It's really bad.
Just like the whole system that was set up to basically take advantage of these women
and to hurt them.
Yeah.
It's just, it's shocking and it's shocking to people who stayed silent during it
and who just thought, well, this is like normal, I guess.
And then it's, yeah, it was shocking,
but I love more than a documentary about playboy drama.
I love a religious trauma documentary.
That's really, that's-
Give me an example.
Like, what was it like, the Keepers?
Like, the Nuns?
Is that the one about the nuns?
I don't think I've seen that one.
The nuns that were like...
Oh, you should watch it.
It was on Netflix back in the day.
I don't know if it was in Netflix original or if it was...
Something they picked up.
You know, for the next five years, as it is.
Wow.
Yeah, that was a crazy one.
I just love the ones about like all the basically
Catholic bullshit and all the churches like and the diocese being bad. I love it. The dioceses
are terrible. The nuns were terrible. The priests were even worse. Yeah, everyone's bad and they're
all feeding into each other and they're all keeping it quiet and they're all just a power
structure and people are one thing if not
Sluts for power. That's it. I think that's the thing is that you know absolute power corrupt corrupts absolutely
And when you have the power and the ability to make people believe you have some
Special connection to some magic guy in the sky is gonna keep everything cool for everybody
Then a lot of people are willing to overlook those things because they also want to be cool with the magic eye in the sky, right?
And for me, personally, my family members were affected by that Catholic Church scandal,
the priest abuse and the nun abuse and all that other stuff, and it absolutely destroyed their lives forever.
So that was a really happy ending to the show.
Uplifting!
But I had fun, I like this conversation, it's good.
Me too, it was good. Doesn't always have to be all, you know, shits and giggles all the show. Uplifting. But I had fun. I like this conversation.
It's good.
It doesn't always have to be all, you know, shits and giggles all the time.
I mean it should, but it doesn't always have to be.
