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
Starting point is 00:00:31 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
Starting point is 00:01:00 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:40 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.
Starting point is 00:02:07 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
Starting point is 00:02:21 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,
Starting point is 00:02:36 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 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.
Starting point is 00:03:19 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
Starting point is 00:03:54 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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,
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:57 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.
Starting point is 00:06:13 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.
Starting point is 00:06:32 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,
Starting point is 00:06:49 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.
Starting point is 00:07:05 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
Starting point is 00:07:26 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
Starting point is 00:07:58 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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.
Starting point is 00:08:41 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.
Starting point is 00:09:04 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.
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.
Starting point is 00:09:28 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!
Starting point is 00:09:40 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,
Starting point is 00:10:13 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?
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:12 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
Starting point is 00:11:29 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.
Starting point is 00:11:50 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
Starting point is 00:12:05 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?
Starting point is 00:12:41 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.
Starting point is 00:12:56 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.
Starting point is 00:13:07 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?
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:51 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
Starting point is 00:14:09 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
Starting point is 00:14:27 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?
Starting point is 00:15:08 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
Starting point is 00:15:33 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.
Starting point is 00:15:57 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.
Starting point is 00:16:11 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.
Starting point is 00:16:46 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.
Starting point is 00:17:05 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.
Starting point is 00:17:34 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
Starting point is 00:17:52 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.
Starting point is 00:18:14 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...
Starting point is 00:18:48 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
Starting point is 00:19:12 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?
Starting point is 00:19:27 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.
Starting point is 00:19:44 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?
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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
Starting point is 00:21:01 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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
Starting point is 00:22:03 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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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
Starting point is 00:23:15 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.
Starting point is 00:23:37 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,
Starting point is 00:23:55 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.
Starting point is 00:24:08 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
Starting point is 00:24:24 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:27:11 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
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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.
Starting point is 00:28:19 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.
Starting point is 00:28:37 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
Starting point is 00:29:09 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?
Starting point is 00:29:33 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.
Starting point is 00:29:45 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.
Starting point is 00:30:00 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?
Starting point is 00:30:29 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.
Starting point is 00:30:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:58 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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
Starting point is 00:32:00 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.
Starting point is 00:32:21 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
Starting point is 00:32:49 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
Starting point is 00:33:05 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
Starting point is 00:33:52 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.
Starting point is 00:34:27 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,
Starting point is 00:34:44 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.
Starting point is 00:35:01 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
Starting point is 00:35:38 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
Starting point is 00:36:08 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.
Starting point is 00:36:46 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.
Starting point is 00:37:14 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,
Starting point is 00:37:50 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.
Starting point is 00:38:10 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
Starting point is 00:38:32 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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
Starting point is 00:39:29 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.
Starting point is 00:39:54 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
Starting point is 00:40:11 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
Starting point is 00:40:31 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.
Starting point is 00:40:54 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,
Starting point is 00:41:14 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.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah. Like look into someone's eyes first, your partner, your like seeing partner, whatever. Yeah. To like feel those emotions. Connected. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:41 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
Starting point is 00:41:58 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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
Starting point is 00:42:56 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?
Starting point is 00:43:38 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.
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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.
Starting point is 00:44:18 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.
Starting point is 00:44:38 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?
Starting point is 00:45:12 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
Starting point is 00:45:55 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
Starting point is 00:46:21 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.
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:47:04 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
Starting point is 00:47:33 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
Starting point is 00:47:57 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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?
Starting point is 00:48:44 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.
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:22 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.
Starting point is 00:49:42 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.
Starting point is 00:49:58 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
Starting point is 00:50:13 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
Starting point is 00:50:41 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.
Starting point is 00:50:59 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
Starting point is 00:51:21 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
Starting point is 00:52:01 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.
Starting point is 00:52:47 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?
Starting point is 00:53:03 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.
Starting point is 00:53:28 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,
Starting point is 00:53:43 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.
Starting point is 00:54:07 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.
Starting point is 00:54:27 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.
Starting point is 00:54:58 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
Starting point is 00:55:32 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
Starting point is 00:56:11 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.
Starting point is 00:56:45 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?
Starting point is 00:57:19 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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
Starting point is 00:58:20 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.
Starting point is 00:58:37 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
Starting point is 00:58:53 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
Starting point is 00:59:18 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,
Starting point is 01:00:07 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?
Starting point is 01:00:22 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.
Starting point is 01:00:46 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
Starting point is 01:01:09 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?
Starting point is 01:01:29 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
Starting point is 01:01:47 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?
Starting point is 01:02:06 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.
Starting point is 01:02:21 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
Starting point is 01:02:52 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.
Starting point is 01:03:24 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. That's what happens when you're putting out 75 hours of content a week.
