I've got burgers made of beans, they're never fried
Soba chips and salsa to keep me warm, way deep inside
Oh yeah, I guess you say Jim and Laurie,
Help me be prepared today for in times.
I'm talking my end times.
Oh, I've got powdered food for a stormy day.
Beats and spinach and blueberries, strawberries, filtered water from say-show
to take the poison away.
I like that too much. I guess you'd say Jim and Laurie
Help me be prepared today for in time
All these in times and times Sometimes, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo human life. As the world quickly changed, one man went on Facebook to get a degree in internet epidemiology.
Brian, along with his lab assistant Hothley, are curing coronavirus by commenting on fake
news and reposting recipes of secret virus cures from a friend of a friend who works
high up in government.
Join Brian and Hothley as they discuss the world and life doing this forced interruption,
learning, laughing and loving in this real-life commercial break.
On this episode of the Commercial Break.
We're at the point now at 24-25 episodes in where I feel like we need to bring in some
guests.
I feel like we've kind of got uncomfortable with each other.
We've always been, but now we're comfortable
without a word to you, Quim.
I won't be wasting anybody's fucking time.
By the way, just making sure I have a record on here everywhere.
I don't have a record on.
I've got his ad club, guys, where I just want to just see
if I could see the other half of the photographs.
I want to piece the night together.
Creepy Henry.
As a matter of fact, Brian, I like your brother more than I like you.
After being a therapist for many years, I think you're an asshole.
Thank you, therapist.
Mmm, I'm holding space for that.
My heart space is open. The next episode of the commercial
break starts now.
What if we just did the show on Hongs and Beeps?
Hong Kong. What if we just did the show on Hong Kong's beeps?
Hong Kong's beep beep.
Sure it's been done before.
Yeah, I was listening to this.
Like I was going through some other people's podcasts.
The guy was like, who's so funny man.
He's this guy who's so funny.
I wish I could remember the name of the podcast.
Pod Vast or something.
I don't know, I'll get the name.
I'll put it on the show notes, but this guy.
He said, the show is all about,
they take fake companies and they make up fake pitches
for the companies and it's super funny, like super funny,
but the guy goes, I was listening to this other podcast
named, who knows what it names and who cares,
because all podcasts are either named two white guys
talking about nothing or two white girls talking about crime.
And I was like, wait, one more category.
White girl and white guy talking about sex and dirty stuff.
Sorry about it, yeah.
TV shows.
I'm learning just how limited our promotional universe
is now that we use dot naughty words on the naughty, naughty
words.
But you know what, I don't give a shit because,
I mean, Asher and I had this long conversation,
like there's a couple of places where we want to promote,
but we're not allowed to.
They basically have made an editorial decision.
That we're crappy.
They basically made an editorial decision that we suck.
And you know, in listen, I understand,
like we're not everybody's cup of tea.
We don't butter everybody's bread, totally, so to speak.
Right.
But I don't want to, you know, I spent so much of my time at this other radio place that
we worked.
I spent so much of my time mitigating what I said because I was so afraid to get into
trouble every 15 seconds, and I just don't feel like doing that.
I don't feel it's real honest.
Like I don't think it would be,
I don't talk like that in real life.
This is how I talk in real life.
I was gonna say this is like us,
I mean we're two best friends having conversations each week.
So this is the way we talk.
It's a wide range of talks.
So I won't get into specifics here because I want,
I'll save it as a surprise.
And I never want to tell anybody these things
because then I am afraid that it never happens
and whatever that we're at the point now,
at 24 or 25 episodes in where I feel like we need
to bring in some guests.
I feel like we've kind of gotten comfortable
with each other, we've always been,
but now we're comfortable without a word to you, Quib.
I won't be wasting anybody's fucking time.
By the way, just making sure I have record on here everywhere.
I don't have record on the good news is I have recorded
somewhere else.
But so that's why we record in three different places
because Ryan's gonna not record at least two of them.
We got the one backup.
I was thinking on your part because that did happen
a couple of times in our first few attempts.
In our first five or six episodes,
what you're hearing is the product of the third
or fourth time that we've actually recorded
those episodes because I could not get it right.
So from whatever reason.
You know I can help you with that, man.
I got a special to...
Oh, hey, it's Peter Fonda from podcast Univ-
Henry Fonda from Peter from podcast Univ-
Hi Henry. Hi, how are you, man?
You're looking good. You're seeing that YouTube.
Yeah, I'm a number of the break room.
Oh, I didn't know that. There's no Henry Fonda
in our break room. And I know because there's only three
members and two of them are me and my life.
Listen man, I don't want to use my real name because I feel like people get all excited
about Henry Fonda being on the break room so I use the different name.
Let me guess.
Shithead Warez.
Man you're good, you're good for you.
Listen I understand you're always having trouble recording so I've got a special tool for
you.
Uh huh, what's that?
I'm a little skeptical after the whole banner ad is an incident.
Don't be. Don't be. Listen. We have a special type.
We have a special type of sign that we pat to on your forehead.
And that way every time you go to record, it says record.
It's like a big record button on your head.
It's almost a banner ad basically for real life.
Wow. That's awesome. Wow, that's
awesome. That's right. And with it comes two additional subscribers free, no charge. Wow,
okay, Henry, I'm going to take that because that's what I need because holy and I, we've recorded
the show as a couple of the time. Oh, I know, man, I know I was in your account the other day,
looking around. How do you get into my account? I got your social security number just just in
case I couldn't get a hold of you.
Thanks Henry, I appreciate it. No problem. We here at Podcast Universe are always here
to help your ego. Okay Henry, I gotta go do the show. I know you do. So we're by Henry.
By, hopefully. Are you still married? I'm asking for a friend. I'm asking for a friend. Yes, I'm asking.
Do you know your password to iCloud?
I do.
I do.
You do.
I hear it.
It's even a night telling it to you.
Oh, it's really sad because I hear you might have a...
I don't think you've done any updates on your iCloud.
You know, I have a service for my updater iCloud for you and they move all the files to a
special place where in case you need them it's called
podcast backup universe.
Don't worry, I don't do anything with the files except
from the good stuff I said.
Okay, Henry, sound and creeping now.
Okay, that Jeff, I said hello. I've got his ad cloud password.
I just wanted to see if I could see the other half of the photographs.
I want to piece the night together.
Creepy Henry.
So, we're at the point where now I feel like we're going to, we could do with some guests,
right?
We could really do something else.
So, we're out there poking around and trolling around.
And I invited a guest, you know,
because I've talked to you about this off air,
but I invited this guest and immediately got back to me.
Like I was kind of surprised that this particular person
would get back to me so quickly via like a social media,
you know, DM or I am or whatever,
slide into your fucking whatever you call it.
Right? I slid into his fucking whatever you call it
and I said hey man listen really big fan I love to have you on the show and
We talk about you every once in a blue moon and I'm a big support in a big fan basically is what I said and he got back to me
immediately like within a minute and
He was like Brian. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the fact that you guys
like what I'm doing and I would certainly
entertain the idea of being a guest,
just to give me a couple of days to check out
what you guys are doing and then I'll get back to you.
And I was like, wow, that's great.
So I'm all excited.
I'm running around the house last night like, woohoo.
You know, you know.
Yeah, we got our first-
Joe Bibbidi Bob.
Yeah, he's gonna come on our program and I'm so excited.
I wonder if I can ask and I got so many things
to talk about and blah, blah, blah.
And then Astrid is like, do you,
yeah, you have talked about that guy a lot.
And I'm like, I know.
And she's like, but I don't think it's all been
all that fantastic.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
I said wonder, oh shit, man.
I talked a lot of trash about that poor guy.
I mean, I didn't talk a lot of trash about it,
but you know, I realized that, you know,
this might not be his cup of tea.
Like what we're talking about all the time,
might not be, he's a little, he's a pretty much proper
and I don't want him to be offended.
So I thought to, I told that to say,
he said, let me write him another email
in to get him ready for the content.
And she's like, Brian, now he's something
a crazy ex girlfriend.
Like, you don't, right, you know,
do you hear so and so before you listen.
Do you like me?
Do you like me?
If you don't, that's okay.
We can talk again later.
That's right.
Maybe, like, just that.
It's probably what you're thinking.
Yeah, like I'm afraid he's gonna write me back
and tell me what a shithead I am.
He's not gonna say anything.
He's just never gonna,
he's just never to respond, right?
I'm going to get blocked on whatever platform that I'm using.
So listen, tcbpodcast.com, tcbpodcast.com.
If you want a video version of the show, we are now broadcasting on YouTube behind a wall,
a privacy wall, while we get the studio ready here and we fine tune it because it took
a six weeks episodes to get the audio, right? It's going to take us a few episodes to get the video
right though. Last week's episode I think turned out turned out well. So but if you'd like
to see the YouTube version of the show, if you go to tcbpodcast.com and you sign up for
the break room, we will send you, it doesn't automatically send you the link, it sends it
a couple days later like we have to manually go in and actually send that link through
our email server show.
Just be patient, it'll come.
But then we're going to send you a link every single week to the YouTube show.
We'll also send you something called the break room where you get some additional content.
Chrissy and I spent some time on that last week, so that'll be coming out.
Well, it will have come out last week.
I always forget that we're recording ahead of time.
That is the radio in me, like thinking that we're recording ahead of time. That is the radio in me, like thinking
that we're actually recording right now.
Live.
Yeah, but we're done.
It doesn't work that way, Chrissy.
It doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
So go to tcbpodcast.com, also soliciting audio clips,
parody songs, any kind of audio that you make,
that you create, or that you own,
and you think would be funny to broadcast,
send it in, and in a a future episode I'd like to showcase
some of those things.
So we have one or two and so far so good.
I think people are really funny.
They're, I would say that they're taking it in good stride,
how they.
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah, someone sent us a song called Fuck You.
Commercial break.
How's that guy? that's the spirit.
That's the old college try.
Shit headwares from Maldonovah.
Wow, they took the time.
They did take the time.
They took the time to care, Chrissy,
and that's all that really matters.
I gotta tell you about something, man.
So, I love my mom. I think she's the most most she's just a wonderful person. She's just an angel
but she's having trouble navigating in this new world that we live in and I don't mean new world
like the pandemic. Yeah, I just mean in general like the tech world. I mean in general like the world
in general right. My mom just has having a little bit of trouble navigating. So we get this phone call
just as having a little bit of trouble navigating. So we get this phone call.
An eager phone call from my mom.
And here's how it goes.
We don't answer the phone because we think it's just a phone call.
Hi, my name is Sherman.
I'm calling on Astrid's phone
because I know you don't like me to bother you.
That's the first thing she does.
She calls on Astrid's phone because she knows,
I don't like to be bothered by multiple phone calls.
So she leaves the message for me on Astrid's phone.
Hi, okay, so listen, I know I came over to your house the other day and my phone is working
just fine. And then all of a sudden it's not working anymore. So I don't really know what
to do. Like do I turn it on or do I turn it off or I'm not really sure who I call about
it. And I've read a bunch of stuff from on that book that you gave me to come along with
the phone. And it just has a bunch of numbers and letters and it's so call me back okay because I don't know what to do. Okay, bye
She's calling me from the phone
From the phone. I was just calling me from the phone
So I immediately you know?
Yeah.
Hey, mom, it's Brian.
Listen, I just called your phone and it's working just fine.
Like if you're getting this message, everything's okay.
This is the problem with my mother
and her phone communication skills.
That's it.
That's all that needs to be said.
If you called me and said,
hey, Brian, my phone's not working,
dial my phone and see if it's working.
I would dial your phone.
And if it rang, we knew it would be okay.
And it would be no need for additional communication
because it's 2020.
We don't need to talk to each other
for five seconds about everything that we're doing, right?
So then my mom calls.
Astrid's phone first, my phone second,
back to Astrid's phone, back to my phone, right?
Finally, I pick it up. It's like dinner time.
Hi, honey, it's your mom.
I know mom. I see it on the thing oh it tells you how's calling yes mom
it tells me who's calling it's called it's called a color ID they've had that
since the 80s oh yeah does the same thing for me okay what do you what do you
got mom I'm just sitting here eating listen I just want to call let you know that
the phone is working just fine I know because you're calling from it oh that's
right how did you know that because I Because you called from it the first time.
Wait, did I call from the phone the first time?
Or you didn't even realize it? What's working?
I thought it was broken.
And I'm like, Mom, you called from the phone to tell me it was broken.
But it wasn't broken because you called me from the phone.
Oh, I just confused, I think.
I don't think I slept very well last night.
You know what happened? You don't happen Brian?
What happened mom?
Irving called me.
He called me.
He loves you.
He loves you so much.
He went to Grandkids.
He says that BTS is going to be Einstein.
Okay mom, I'm eating dinner.
Can you please let me go?
Like I don't want to hear about Irving and the stuff.
Can we talk about this later?
Oh I'm sorry in a rough.
I didn't realize it.
You know, I understand.
I understand you don't want to talk to me.
Oh mom, don't give me the guilt trip now.
I'm trying to be that happens.
I know, honey, I just call me back whenever.
You don't have to call me back today
or tomorrow or Thursday or Saturday.
Just call me back whenever you want to.
That's next Tuesday you can call me back.
Okay, mom, I'll call you back.
Okay, bye.
Mom, the overcommunication is what kills me.
And I don't think this is a problem
that just I am experiencing
because I have other people that are close to me,
that are experiencing the same type of over communication
and over sensitivity to the communication.
It's like just because we can communicate 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, doesn't mean we should be
communicating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
And it's the constant over communication
that really drives me crazy.
And I think that the cell phones and the text messages
and all this stuff is given everybody an opportunity
to do that, but we've already been through this.
Like we as people who grew up with the cell phones
and the internet and all this other stuff,
we already understand that this is not an appropriate way
to communicate because we did it at one point, right?
Yeah.
You know, your mom passed away.
When she was alive, did she get over communicate like this? Yes, yes, and we had, and then it was, you know, your mom passed away. When she was alive, did she over communicate like this?
Yes, yes, and we had, and then it was, you know,
we'll come see me, you never see me.
Let's, you know, I know about the guilt trip.
But yeah, I had to put some boundaries.
I had to say, let's talk.
Let's make a special day every week that we talk.
And so we had Wednesdays as our day.
Oh, that's a good idea.
That worked out really well.
And that's a really good idea.
It kind of just puts everything on that day
and you can set aside an hour to catch up.
Okay.
So if I do Thursdays with Brian,
hope you kind of do Fridays with you
and Irving can do Saturdays with Jeff and his daughters.
Oh, that's what we're trying.
Yeah, because, you know,
her thing really loves your granddaughters.
There's just, he just talks about them all the time.
Um, he doesn't even know their granddaughters.
Yes, he does, honey.
Do you remember that one time you talked about them
at the dinner?
No.
Well, you did.
And then, you know,
herving's just such a sweet man.
He just loves everybody.
Everybody says grandchild.
Okay, Bob, I'm gonna,
this is a story's border on fiction. I gotta let you go. Okay, Bob, I'm gonna,
I do this story's border on fiction, I gotta let you go.
Keep on brining, I love you.
Okay, mom, love you too.
I think it's a good idea.
I think there ought to be some boundary set.
I think we're gonna have to go to like,
maybe we're gonna have to go to a grid on the refrigerator
with my mom.
Maybe I'm gonna have to go to a house
and put a grid on the refrigerator.
Tuesdays, no calls,
except for emergencies.
But you know what emergencies is gonna be?
Well, right.
Hi, Brian, it's your mom.
I don't know what to do.
Mom, what's going on?
Is everything okay?
It is, but when I try to get into the house, the key, it jingled a little bit.
And I really think that there's, I don't think it's locked all the way.
Can you open it? No.
That it's locked all the way. I don't think so honey. Can you come over and take a look at it?
Mom, this is not an emergency. Are you sure? No, you have a whole maintenance department to take care of this.
You know, I don't like to call them honey. I don't like to call them very nice.
It's like mom.
I don't want you to call me anymore. It's not that I don't want you to call me anymore. It's not that I don't want you to call me so. I don't want you to call me anymore. I don't want you to call me so much.
I just want to... Right.
Yeah. And now we have grandchildren.
And that's like the hook in the fish.
Of course. Yeah.
There's always something about the grandchildren.
Well, can I see Mike? Yeah, of course you can.
Anytime you want to see your grandchildren,
you can see your grandchildren.
But she doesn't come over that often.
It's just really about the overcommunication. So I think I'm going to take a page out of your book that you did with your mom. And she doesn't come over that often. It's just really about the over-communication.
So I think I'm gonna take a page out of your book
that you did with your mom,
and I'm gonna tell her there's a special day
in time that you and I are gonna talk.
And we're gonna talk as long as you want to
as long as it's within 25 minute period.
Right.
Anytime between 25, 24, 23, any down,
you got me, you got me, mom, I'm totally yours.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know, it could help. I could help. Oh man, holy thank you. me, you got me, mom, I'm totally yours. Yeah. Yeah.
No, it could help, it could help.
Oh man, holy thank you, I feel like I got,
I feel like that's the, I got to do it.
I feel like we just had a therapy session.
I feel like my therapist should have said this to me
a long time ago, you know, I pay her a lot of money.
And she's still saying things like.
I'm curious.
Look inside yourself to find the answer to this one,
why is your mom calling you so bothersome?
Because she's calling me all the time. Yeah, I know, but why I don't know why you ask her
She's calling out why are you bothered listen?
Therapist I don't know why I'm about in that your job figure it out get it out of me something like that
You seem so irritated around this
Does she call the other brothers as well? Like this? Or just you? Listen, I
don't want to get too, too personal here, but there, I mean, there are brothers who communicate
more with my mother than it's not, I, not all of them communicate with me. When my, and
I love my mom, just to be clear about this, like, yeah, there's no, before I was married
with children, I would talk to my mom every other day, at least.
But it wasn't for a long time.
It was like 10, 15 minute touch base.
I would tell her what's going on, who I was dating, where I was out, what I was doing,
what was going on at work.
I communicate and just be, because I know that's like a lifeline for my mom, right?
She needs some kind of, she needs some affirmation that her children are doing well and that she
has got a good relationship with them.
But as life has gotten more complicated, I don't say complicated in a bad way, I say,
as more things have pulled on my time, I can't give that kind of time to any one person,
any more except for my children and my wife.
And, of course, I see that as we're doing a podcast to nobody.
I have no time.
Have you looked inside yourself and ask yourself why you have
time for the podcast, but no time for your mother? No therapist I haven't. Maybe you should. Maybe.
That'll be $195. So, you know, it's not about my mom specifically. It's about the things that drag on my time.
And the relative important,
the relative priority that they take at that particular moment.
So if it's like Tuesday, at 2.30 in the afternoon,
that's not a great time for me to be having a conversation.
I got two children running around,
trying to run a business and you know,
keep the podcast going and all that stuff.
None of those, the business, the podcast,
all of those things are more important than my mother.
But I know that our conversation could probably wait.
It's not like it needs to be at right this far.
I was gonna say it's kind of like free feeding, you know,
like some people feed their dogs at certain times
because if they leave a bowl of food out,
the dog will just eat it all at once. I mean, it just constantly as much as you're putting food out.
And I think that's what's happening with her mom.
She's free feeding on your time.
Yes.
Brian, I think you should listen to Chrissy.
Are you holding space for what Chrissy is saying?
And she's so sweet.
She is.
Yes, she is.
As a matter of fact, Brian, I like your mother more than I like you.
After being a therapist for many years, I think you're an asshole.
Thank you, therapist.
I'm holding space for that.
My heart space is open.
My heart space is open.
My chakras are open.
Speaking of chakras, have you gotten into the new program, the new television program?
Netflix is down to earth.
I have not.
Do you know this kid, Zach Efaron?
I say Efaron, like Safaron.
Yes, okay.
I did.
I was going to watch one of those and then I didn't.
Oh, I shouldn't else, but it looked like it could be.
It could be something like travel.
My what?
Yeah, travel and he's traveling around
Didn't he listen he's no Anthony Bourdain admittedly right?
This is not Anthony Bourdain show if you're looking for like that kind of travel show
This is not that but what Jack has done along with this other guy
Jack Darren that would I say Jack Jack I said Jack
Love you Zach mean it
Like he's listening like we're friends.
Right.
Kids got 43.6 million fucking followers on Instagram.
43 million.
That's, that's one sixth of the country.
That's insane.
One sixth of the United States, I mean, I don't know, they're all from the United States,
but it's a population.
One sixth of the United States is following him on his every move on Instagram.
So him and this other like food guy that's like down to earth, crunchy granola, you know,
food cures everything.
We need to sustainability, super, duper, hippy, hippy guy named Darren.
I can't remember his last name, but I'm with the guy, right?
I'm behind him on a lot of what he says.
I don't believe in some of the more like nebulous kind of,
you know, theories, like one episode,
like a big example, one episode they go and they go meet
a water Somalia, a Somalia that focuses in on water.
Yeah.
And the guy brings out a bunch of waters
from like different countries, right?
And here's a special water.
It's been filtered through sheep's shit, two rocks and...
Yeah.
And once was a volcano in the...
It has, it's got dandelion feces in it.
Yes.
The dandelion feces has a lot of iron, which is good for your nasal passages.
It's nice to pick it for you.
Yeah, it helps the allergies. Yeah, it's your heart your knees, oh, yeah. Yeah. Help the allergies.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So your heart space is open.
I can feel it.
I can feel your heart space across the screen.
Yeah.
So now I want you to try this next water.
This next water is from Atlanta, Georgia, the Chateau Houtee.
It's got a lot of dead cow, red neck beer.
Right.
Red neck piss.
Yep.
So he'd go, they do this whole thing with the water.
The guy basically says, listen,
if you're drinking filtered water,
you're taking nutrients away from your body
because the water wants to give you nutrients,
but filtered water has no nutrients,
like super, super filtered water has no nutrients.
So it actually, like my bread, my bread, oh listen okay but here's the thing here's the thing about
this show that you got that I think I needed to be a little bit careful with
and I'm glad that I was I really enjoyed Zach he he plays the absolutely
clueless guy who is going with this expert around the world to learn more about
sustainability and foods to sustainability in general, like
frying your food, fresh local, you know, straight from the source, all this other stuff, right?
Not eating package, process, pre, you know, and the guy's also a vegan, but Zach is not
he'll eat meat, so there's, you know, how they, if you're gonna eat meat, how to do that
responsibly and all the stuff. Zach really wants to learn and he takes this guy along with
him who basically wrote the book on sustainability. But then every one sort of blue moon,
they take a left turn into like,
you know, water farts and shit like this.
And it's just like, you know, okay,
you know, do your homework on this
because that's not exactly true.
What this is Somalia was saying, right?
Filter water does not take nutrients from you.
There's not enough nutrients in water
to do anything for you or not do it for you.
So, but I do have to say that I watched the show and I found it to be relatively pleasant.
I like Zach.
I like his man body.
I like his man body all over.
Yeah.
Darren is an interesting character who at the end of the show, this is the part I wanted
to get to the end of the show, this guy's house burns down
in the California wildfires while he is out traveling.
Yeah, well he's out traveling with Zach.
Ooh, oh no.
And he gives this saliliqui at the end of the show
about how, do you like that word that I just used?
Saliliqui.
Saliliqui.
Ooh, I can feel it.
You're dictionary chakra opening up right now, Brian.
That does go with dictionary chakra.
I can feel energy moving right into my cornea.
Yes.
Yes, let's hold.
Are you holding your heart, space open, running, healthy?
Oh.
So he gives this soliloquy, like this three minute dissertation on why he's going to
go down swinging to fight for mother earth, right?
Because he, because they went to Puerto Rico earlier in the show and saw the devastation that the hurricane caused
and they actually helped some locals move some shit out trash out of the, from the hurricane, right?
And they said, wow, this is amazing. This is mother earth. This is with the power of mother earth here.
The whole island is devastated.
And then Darren at the end of the show says,
the power of Mother Earth is not unaffecting any of us.
It's affecting all of us, even me.
If I living in my Southern California home,
Mother Earth can come get me, it can come get all of us,
and it's coming to get all of us.
And I agree.
Look at these wildfires that are out in California.
Now, when this show broadcasts a week and a half later
from when we're doing it, I mean,
I'm hoping that the wildfires have calmed down a little bit.
But there's like 380 wildfires just in California alone.
It's burning the place up.
I have friends who have run from their home.
All on the West Coast, yeah.
It's insane.
Yeah.
And I can't believe we still have a debate going on
in this country about whether or not the climate
is changing, the climate is changing.
Humans are affecting it.
To what degree, I don't know.
To what degree does anybody really know?
I don't think so.
I think it's such a large problem that I'm not sure anybody does.
But if we don't all start making like a little bit of a difference,
like a small difference every single fucking day,
I think we're in real trouble.
I'm not sure that my children's children will inherit an earth that's even remotely
looks like the one that we live in today, period and descendants.
Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, just even between the wildfires and then also the sea level rising.
There's going to be a lot of these coastal towns and cities that are slowly disappearing.
You know, I work in real estate. And so I have purchased a seaside waterfront property villas
not like
i can feel your heart bill right now
feels great
feels great
i can feel your heart bill
henry settle down
no no no i'm with you man where you'll come right now
everything's wonderful
can i see your heart, Villa?
Can I see balls of your heart, Chakras?
Okay, Henry, stop it. You're just being creepy.
Sorry, man. My wife's been away on vacation.
Oh, I'm sorry. Where'd she go?
I'm not sure she's been gone for about three and a half years.
Have you heard from her?
Not sure.
You don't check that email?
I can't check that email at the internet.
Okay, I gotta let you go, Henry.
So it's a fascinating show.
You have to take it with a grain of salt, but I suggest that you watch it because it's
really good.
And, you know, and Zac Efron takes off his shirt every once in a while, so that satisfies
that part of it.
Zac really does play a good foil though,
because he really wants to learn
and he doesn't pretend to know stuff that he doesn't know.
So I didn't know Jack Shit about Zach Efron.
I am not the high school musical crowd
that was not made for my own green.
Right?
And I was probably, I don't know,
I was 20 when it came out, not sure.
But I know he's in some of these comedy movies,
like Neighbors and stuff like that,
and I actually thought he was pretty funny in. But I came't want, I know he's in some of these comedy movies, like Neighbors and stuff like that. And I actually thought he was pretty funny in.
But I came away walking, I walked away with a new appreciation
for Zach Efron and he's just another human being,
trying to figure it all out.
And he's willing to go, you know, to the ends of the year.
Right.
Now, of course, Hilton sponsored him in Visa.
Right.
And by the way, you see a Hilton logo in the-
And also have money.
Yeah, that's right.
They get into the most exclusive restaurants,
they do the most exclusive things.
He also has a Hilton logo and a visa logo every three and a half seconds.
You can tell who produced this show and it was not Netflix.
It was Hilton apparently because every three seconds, it's so transparent.
Why don't they just say, you know what if I was doing one of those shows, you know what
I would say, Hilton, I would be like, hey listen, Hilton put us up in all these rooms
because you know, that's what happens in Hollywood.
That's how it goes.
So I just wanted you to know
that's why you're saying Hilton logo,
every two seconds, Hilton and then a visa logo.
Like they would go to this exclusive restaurant
in some random country and then the lady would bring out
the little check, you know, and then have a big,
the little check holder have a big visa logo
and then they'd always show Zach putting his visa down and I was like, wait, that seems have a big, the little check holder, have a big visa logo, and then they'd always show Zach
putting his visa down on, and I was like,
wait, that seems like a weird thing to show
in every single, like every shot.
But first of all, second of all,
do we really think that Zach's paying for dinner?
Does Zach really want his visa down for dinner?
I mean, if he is, good on him.
Cool, dude.
Great, wonderful.
I might want the points. I want the points. He doesn't
need the points. I want the points. Yeah. Or do you think I bet Zach lives in a really nice house?
You think? I bet he does too. Yeah. I think he's single too. I'm not sure about that part.
Oh, he's single man. How do you know? I've just been looking around the internet.
You've been looking around the internet to see whether or not Zach Efron is single?
I've really been looking for my wife to be honest, but he's just checking up on Zach.
Oh, that's not a bad idea.
I had a suspicion maybe Zach and my wife are getting together.
I think you're a little delusional.
I don't think your wife would be getting together with Zach Efron.
My wife's name is Mila Cunias.
You were married to Mila Cunias?
Maybe.
I think you have trouble with the truth.
There.
Maybe.
Thank you, Henry.
I appreciate it.
Henry.
Henry, I, 90 day fiance.
Okay.
I 90 day fiance.
Okay.
Married in first sight, Australia is now for the most part over. It's over actually.
Another have a few reunion shows and stuff like that.
But it's over and there's a big hole in my heart.
One is that right where your chocolate is.
Yes, it is.
There is come to love though.
You had come to love those.
I'm I'm such a.
Testants.
I don't know what they are.
They're married. Need this one. I mean, you... Are they contestants? I don't know what they are. They're married.
This is what they, I mean, they're like,
they're partners.
They really win if you get married
to somebody you just met.
I, I won.
Well, I mean, listen, you eventually get married
to someone you just met eventually, right?
It just takes a little bit of time.
No, I hear you.
I'm like, no, I don't think you actually win.
I think then you really, I think when the cameras shut off,
then you really gotta start, you're like, oh shit.
This isn't so much fun anymore because now,
I actually got a man, this person I'm married to,
and I gotta start a life with him.
And so I won't give away how the ending is
because I don't know because we're recording this week
and half of the work I'm gonna have.
And the actual last episode is this weekend,
or this week.
But let me tell you this.
So I jumped over to 90 day fiance,
of which they have a million versions of 90 day fiance.
They have 90 day fiance.
The other way, 90 day fiance, the original,
90 day fiance after the 90 days,
they've got a whole thing, right?
There's a couple on there.
This guy is Moldovian.
He's from Moldova.
We've been talking, we He's from Moldova.
We've been talking, we've talked about Moldova
before on the show because we have some people
that listen from Moldova.
But the guy is a Moldovian guy.
And I don't know much about Moldova.
I really have no idea what it's all about.
I know it's close to Russia.
I know they sound like they're from Russia.
And I know that there's girls there
and they're apparently very beautiful.
Right, that's the, that's the, that's the most knowledge I have about Moldova Moldova
Do you is it Moldova? Are you it's Moldova?
You're calling the guy Moldova. Yeah, he is Moldova in
Yeah, I can make that assumption, right? So he's from Moldova
This week on this episode they get married. It's like their marriage in Moldova.
Now they've been married in the United States,
but they decide they're gonna go over there
and do a traditional Moldavian or Moldovan ceremony.
I can't get into every ex-know about what happened,
but I heard the most Moldavian conversation
I have ever heard on this show.
And I want you to listen to this. Can I take a minute to play this for you?
It's about two and a half minutes long, but just listen to it.
I want you to hear this conversation that goes down.
Now listen to this.
I'm really happy Andrei is not mad at me, but there is a little bit of tension between Andrei and Elizabeth's family.
This is a really important day.
He has to be calm and cool and leave everything that's wrong outside.
We didn't manage to be at the American wedding and we felt a little bit sorry because he was alone there.
Yeah, how is it?
Yeah, it looks good.
Oh, it goes.
I think for mom and dad,
this would be all big and important
when even for Andre.
Because he's the second son
and they will also want to celebrate
in our traditional way.
For a moment, it's second son.
So you know, it's in Mallow,
but doesn't care.
First sun doesn't matter.
First sun waste.
First sun is trash.
Second sun take over.
We kill first sun.
But second sun very important.
Secrets on my secrets.
Always going to be my secrets.
Here's the deal.
I'm always going to be his secret.
I probably should have told this beforehand.
Here's the deal.
The guy, it was a detective in Maldova.
He was a detective that then moved to Ireland,
and that's where he met his 90 day fiance.
When he moved to Ireland,
there was some questions as to why he moved to Ireland.
He didn't exactly explain that to his wife
before they got married,
but what apparently happened is that the Maldovan police
wanted him to be a part of some illegal racket
that he wouldn't be a part of,
and they told them they were gonna set him up and kill him if he didn't leave the country.
So then he left the country.
So now that's why he says my secrets, my secrets, but my favorite part of this whole thing,
which I mean, may have been a little long, but my favorite part of this whole thing is
where he goes, he goes, it's important day for my family.
He's second son, like, could have been the third son or the fourth son. Why is the second
son so important in Mardovio? That's right, thank you, Holy. I appreciate it. First, I am second son.
Me, Brian, Mardovian Brian is second son. It's very important in our culture. First son is like
front bumper of car. Yeah, second son is like engine bumper.
If you get hit, it's okay, you replace bumper.
Engine very expensive, no replace second son.
Second son and third daughter, very important in model of
and control.
That's right. Usually first and second daughter die of some
rare disease or a marriage.
Very, very sad thing going here in Madova. First and second daughters usually disappear in marriage.
But second son, very important. Thank you. Are you a...
Are you an oldest child? You are an oldest child.
I am the oldest, yes.
You'll basically mean nothing.
You know, the oven couldn't say.
Yeah, exactly.
So they go onto this moldovan wedding,
and then the reception happens.
And the reception is like,
hopefully I've never seen anything like it in my life.
Ballet dancers, it's not big because there's not a lot of people there,
but there are like ballet dancers doing dances. they're throwing the cake around, they're...
The ass recall.
Oh my God, it was crazy, it was like a whole show that they did.
And you know, I've never been to Moldova, so I don't know, but I kind of expected like
you know, third world country kind of reception, but no, it was like top, you know, top of
the 9's.
They were going all out.
They were going all out, They were going all out.
And that's, I guess, all that.
Well, second son.
This second son, very important to me, tell you.
First son did not get the wedding like that.
First son, we said for pig, second son, we make big party.
Second son, very important.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
second son very important yes thank you very much. That's in 90 day fiance. Do you watch that show? No I haven't watched it there's you know I know there's been a lot of them
on but I have not watched it so you've been talking about it though I'll have to take it.
I have given you so many recommendations. I have given you so many recommendations for great television shows.
None of which you follow up on.
You got to start.
I did watch the one that was the blind.
Love is blind.
Love is blind.
Oh yeah, love is blind.
I did watch that one.
Oh, that was so beginning of the pandemic.
We're now we're in the middle of the pandemic. I feel like we're middle of the pandemic. We're now we're in the middle we're middle pandemic. I feel like we're middle-pan.
We're halfway through homeland right now we got we got hooked on homeland we had
not seen that show. So we're on that seven seasons. I watch.
It's tick-stuck my time. I watch like you know what I watch I started
watching again which is the Americans if you're seeing that if you like
homeland you like the Americans. Okay yeah. Watch the Americans. Yeah and there seeing that, if you like homeland, you'll like the Americans.
Okay, yeah.
Watch the Americans.
Yeah, and there's also seven seasons of that too,
so you can really get yourself involved.
Okay.
Right.
Right.
It's something that'll last at least a week, right?
Right.
Right.
I get on Netflix and I only watch for whatever reason.
I only watch these British comedy shows,
and I just love these BBC comedy shows, right?
And I'm
in the middle of one right now, it's starring a guy named Jack Whitehall called Bad Education.
It's just really like, it's a crude, crass show about a teacher who's got a bunch of,
you know, derelict students and how he teaches them, right? There's no meat in the potatoes.
Like a scripted? It's scripted. I think it's scripted. I mean, it seems scripted, right?
Yeah. It's a television show. It's not a reality. I think it's scripted. I mean, it seems scripted, right? Yeah. It's a television show.
It's not a reality show.
But it's also not homeland or Americans.
Like, there's no, there's no,
doesn't take any brain power to follow it.
You can get on every night.
So what I do is my wife gets bothered by TV at night
after she falls asleep and my son obviously,
I don't want him watching TV while I fall asleep.
So I've got this pillow.
This pillow is like a blue pillow.
And it's meant to sit on your chest and hold your phone.
You can watch your phone.
I was like a wedge.
It's a wedge.
Yes, it's a like a wedge.
But it's a pillow, right?
It's a really firm pillow.
Holdy, it's the best money I have ever spent.
Is on this fucking wedge.
I found it in a home depot.
I was so excited.
I come, it was in the middle of the pandemic.
I come running out with this blue wedge
and I'm like, Astrid, Astrid, I found it.
You know, I open up your heart chakra.
I found it.
Because I had been using a regular pillow to do this
for years.
You know, I'd like to watch a little TV
before I go to sleep.
And I'm using this regular pillow
in the fucking phone would fall,
and then it would slip to the side,
and then I'd wake up in the minute.
You know, if you touch your phone, it pauses,
and it was so obnoxious, but I find this pillow,
and I am just in shit heaven, like, I'm like,
I just think it's the best thing in the world.
It's this small stuff in life, and my blue pillow.
That's awesome, it is, yeah, it is the small part.
So, Astrid, when I get in the car with this blue thing, I'm like, look what I found. It's got small stuff in life and my blue pill. That's awesome, it is. Yeah, but it is the small stuff. So Astrid, when I get in the car with this blue thing,
I'm like, look what I found.
It's got three different sides.
Like it's three different sides, right?
It's like a triangle.
Oh, cool.
And each triangle has a different angle for the phone.
So you can watch it straight up or a little bit back
or further back.
And I'm like, look, depending on how my head is moved,
I can, and she's like, oh my God,
are you gonna start packing that thing?
And I go, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, I'm not that crazy.
And she's like, the lake house,
you can take it to the lake house.
Yeah, I'm gonna take it to the lake house.
Of course I am, that's not,
but that's like a real trouble.
And she's like, are you gonna take it to the island,
to the beach?
Yeah, but I mean, we can fit in the car,
we take the car down there.
And what's that?
Are you gonna put it in a suitcase?
Maybe, I mean, if we go to like Spain or something, maybe.
I'm gonna take it everywhere that I go.
It's like my blankie.
I know I was like my blankie.
I have it at my, it seems like I got on the shower.
I'm like, have my little blue pillow and I'm like,
I'm like, are you gonna hear me?
How are you watching?
I'm doing bad education.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I'm into the cooking shows and the home shows
when I'm not watching the dramas.
So yeah, I love the dramas,
but I have to take a break every once in a while.
So right now I'm on a,
they take a break just for my own sanity, right?
Right.
Not even sanity, it's like I'm in a mood sometimes
for comedy, I'm in a mood sometimes for drama.
And so I'm getting into all of these BBC
Committees that they have on Netflix and other places in Amazon whatever I can find but I will here's what I've noticed about BBC
Here in America you can have one season of something one season and then it gets canceled Right, it's just for whatever reason didn't have enough audience people didn't like it. It wasn't funny
It wasn't good. It just gets canceled
But BBC always puts out three seasons.
And it seems not to matter whether or not the show
is actually liked or not liked,
they just put out three seasons, that's it.
Very rarely.
That's gotta go with that.
Yeah, they go ahead and they go with it
when they order one season, they order three.
And then there are no more after that.
On these comedy shows at least,
that's what it appears to me because I've watched
like 10 of these British comedies in a row.
And all of them are just three seasons.
That's it.
And that pisses me off a little bit because I'm like, wow, it was a really good show.
You should have like another season.
But you know, by the time they get to Netflix, it was a, you know, it's been broadcast in
2015.
And it's a, I can't petition the BBC to bring it back on air.
I love it.
You gotta watch 90-day fiance.
I'm telling you, man, we, you know, 45 minutes, my friend,
45 minutes to an hour really flies when you're having fun.
It does, when you're having fun.
I feel like we didn't get half the stuff
I wanted to talk about today.
I'm gonna have to put it, I'm gonna,
we'll talk about it next week.
I found this CNN clip.
It's like the crazy Uncle Bob convention.
A bunch of old gentlemen, old white gentlemen
at the Trump rally, talking about
their why they're not wearing masks.
Oh, Lord.
Oh, I can only imagine.
One guy goes, well, I can't hear anybody
when I'm wearing the mask so
And I thought are you putting it around your ears like can't you hear?
The CNN reporter as you know the CNN reporter since they're just a bunch of you know liberal lefist from
Ivy League schools. He snaps back real quick. He goes can you hear me? It goes. Yeah, I can hear you guys got a mask on
I love it. It's too much. It's too much. We will listen.
Yeah, regardless. Oh, you're gonna vote for go out and vote, but I just thought to myself,
I have uncles that are like this. Like I have uncles that I know that are like this.
I haven't talked to them in 10 years. Maybe you should open up your heart chakra and talk to them.
Maybe you should.
Thank you, Huddling.
I'm finding myself like,
I'm hoping a lot more than I like you.
Be $195.
I get the sense that my therapist doesn't like me sometimes.
