I got a little bit of a, I got a little bit of a, I got a little bit of a, I'm in the background looking down at my da bitchin' Mommy, make me some more pasta reggaeton Oh my god I like to take on reggae but I'm fooornin' La la la la la la la la Apparently that guy had some respect in the- I think we talked about this on the show And like apparently he had some respect in the community

They were like, oh, yeah, man, it's just a jam and I'm like that's just a jam. I'm white and I know that's not the jam I'm 13. I'm white and I realize that's not the way forward That is not solving any of the problems. Yeah on this earth All right, go ahead with your word of the day. Chrissy's now got a new segment she must do called Word of the Day. Well, I thought it might be a little... Go, Fuller's yours. You know, let's throw in some actual facts.

Oh, well, don't go crazy. Don't go crazy. The word for today is the Bonhomie, which kind of goes with what we were just singing. Bonhomie? Is that how you say it? Bonhomie. Okay, I'm gonna guess that this is a German word,

Bonhomie. Is it spelled B-A-H-O-M-M-E? B-A-N-H-O-M-M-E? No, it is B-O-N. B-O-N. H-O-M-I-E. Oh, Bonhomie. Okay, I'm gonna-

It's actually French. It's French word. I'm gonna guess that this is some kind of pastry. Am I right? Isn't it a pastry? No, it means here. It means cheerful, friendliness, and geniallity. Oh, well, Bonhomi to you.

Bonhomi to you. I'm in such a Bonhomi mood. And they said, next time you sing the song, you know, for he's a jolly good fellow. For he's a bonhomi. For he's a bonhomi. That's a good one. Okay, Bonhomi, are you feeling Bonhomi today? Like, is it a feeling? Is it an adjective? He's feeling Bonhomi? Or he is Bonhomi. Examples in a sentence, the show was well received due to the co-host Bonhomie. Oh, well now you're the Bonhomie. Homie.

I was gonna say Bonhomie broad, but I guess that's language from like 1950. I probably shouldn't use it. Here's another one, Jess extended the same Bonhomie to everyone she met, whether friend or stranger. I've never heard that word before in my entire life. That's right, it's a- It's a- Classing things up around here.

Classing things up around here. It's gonna take a lot more than Bonhomie to class things up around here. If there's one thing that the commercial break is not, it's full of class. Full of sass maybe. Full of ass sometimes. But full of class.

Well, thank you for trying. I really appreciate it. To the audience- Be more Bonhomi about this. Listen, my natural disposition is anti-Bonhomi. I'm in Bonhomi. What would the opposite of that be? What would be the negative? Unbonhomi or in Bonomi

You know who's not Bonomi I'll tell you who's not Bonomi is the guy at my recycling place is not Bonomi I tell this story about the recycling dude. No, but I've been to your recycling place with you one time Go get more wires we don't need. I've got $6,000 worth of wires. We always do buy fours and we were stapleing. We were stapleing cloth. Oh yeah, and we did such a terrible job. So we were making these soundproof panels.

You can't see them, they're right above us right here, but the room has tall ceilings. So we were putting some soundproof paneling because I was, because I'm absolutely obnoxious about my sound and I could hear it bounce. I could hear the sound bouncing back and forth, causing a little bit of an echo. So I'm going to So we were putting some soundproof paneling because I was, because I'm absolutely obnoxious about my sound. And I could hear it bounce. I could hear the sound bouncing back and forth, causing a little bit of an

echo. So we made these, we decided, let's do it homemade because they're very expensive to get them custom made. They're like $1,200. And I'm like, I can do this, get some insulation, some foam, put it on, we'll build a frame, and then we'll throw the foam on top of it. And then we'll put this soundproof Like cloth over it and it'll look nice and neat well Briding Chrissy to the Home Depot we go to the Home Depot. We didn't know where anything was have no idea First time I've ever used a saw in my entire life Fuck I didn't cut my dick off. I mean seriously, so I'm out there sawn

I'm out there sawn. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz And then my father-in-law Comes in like a month later He stares at the ceiling and he goes the fuck is that and I'm like that's a soundproof panel. I made it myself I It's completely obtuse. It's completely off angle. It's kitty corn basically. It's falling apart And I just decided to put an extra piece of wood in the middle that that would make it more strong That would fix all the problems So my father-in-law came in and he just tore that thing apart He was like, hey, but I the way we hung it the way we did everything was wrong. It was all wrong It was all wrong hanging down like so

It was right on our heads you could see it in the camera angle It's like barely in the camera angle and I thought to myself well small price to pay for good sound Oh my god, so yeah, the fan was almost hitting it and at times it would like if you move the wrong way It would be like That's like that can't be good. I don't know how long that'll last the fan keeps on hitting it So my father-in-law comes and he also puts it next. See for effort. I'm gonna say A for effort, C for effort on our bar.

I would have passed high school if I put that much effort into it. So my father-in-law comes in and he says, well, where do you want it? And I said, well, I think it's gotta be close to the fan. And he goes, okay, no problem. My father in law, I don't know, what do you guess? That's a quarter of an inch away from the fan.

It's a quarter of an inch away from the fan on both sides. Two different panels on each side of this fan that we keep to this awfully hot box here. Fucking cool. And he put it a quarter of an inch away. It is never once touched the blade, never, not once. Hanging from an angled ceiling, perfectly straight. My father-in-law knows everything.

I know nothing. I am humbled every time he comes that he can do anything. Like hang a picture. Like, oh, that's amazing. How did you do that? I went and got a nail. Oh, okay. He's like, I got a nail, I measured. I, I, I, blind.

But so we went to the recycling place that day cause we had to drop something off there. So. We go to the recycling place. So now this is our recycling place. You know, we have people, people that come pick up the recycling upfront, but you only are allowed one can per week

and we get those damn Amazon boxes that are terrible for the environment. I mean, I know there's only, I know I'm the one ordering it and it's at my convenience, like I'm the one destroying the earth, but Amazon isn't helping me in any way, shape, or form by putting a pair of earphones in a box the size of a small car.

Oh my God, I hate that. It's terrible. Yeah, they're doing a really bad job these days with boxing. And I even check the thing a lot of times where it says get fewer boxes. Had everything delivered in one day, I'm like, perfect. I don't need that, all these things immediately

in individual boxes. So I check the box. And they send me more boxes. So I am like everybody, I'm trying to do a little bit of good and I'm trying to teach my kids because my kids won't have an earth by the time they grow up. So I'm just like, hey, listen, let's make sure that we put everything in the recycling.

We end up with all these Amazon boxes at the end of the week and inevitably we have to take them to the recycling center because or else we'll have to pay some $25 fee to have more shit picked up. So I'm like, we're not lazy. Let's go a couple of miles down the street. We'll go to the recycling center and we'll have to pay some $25 fee to have more shit picked up. So I'm like, we're not lazy. Let's go a couple of miles down the street. We'll go to the recycling center

and we'll put the extra recycling, the big recycling stuff, big boxes. So every time I go there, it's a local recycling center. It's run by the taxes that we pay here. Yeah, locals. Well, it's run by people I think who have been charged with community service.

But regardless, okay, I've been charged with community service, but Regardless, okay, I've been there done that got it. Alright, ten four. I understand If I could have done the recycling center, I would have done it, but no I had to do hard labor I need to be on the side of the highway while people are driving 98 miles per hour picking up trash picking up trash So I go there all the time Yet there is one motherfucker who has to ruin my day every time that I go there to the point now where I drive an extra five miles not to go to that recycling center, but the other recycling center, because this guy finds it in his small,

weak little mind that he has to make sure that we live in the county in which we are dropping off the recycling because it's a community center. It says on the back of my license plate which county I live in. All he has to do is look at the license plate and say, oh, yep, this guy lives in this county. This is the county community recycling center. Let's do this. But every time I go, this guy comes up to me and he's like, I need to see your ID. And I'm like, okay, uh, one time I didn't have it. I had this electronic, you know, ID thing in Georgia, you can have an electronic driver's license. So I show him the driver's license, but it does not show

your address on the driver's license. It does. However, say which county you got your driver's license in, right? Where you're living. So I show him and I'm like, here you go. I don't have my driver's license with me, I'm using this. And he goes, I'm sorry, you can't drop off your recycling, I need to see your address. And I'm like, why would you need to see my address? And he's like, because I need to make sure you live in the county in which you're dropping off the recycling.

And I'm like, listen, bro, I have it on my tag, I've got it on my license, I'm not giving you my physical address. That's fine, I'm like, it kind of docks me here at the recycling place. So no, he's arguing with me. He actually, I took my recycling, I put it next to the place where the guys

would come pick it up and throw it. He brings the recycling back and puts it back in my car. Did you show him the label on the box? Oh, that was the next thing. Oh yes, oh yes. Look, it's going through these couplings. So I am like, bro, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to drop this off.

You've seen me 30 times. And he's like, I don't know how many people come to this recycling center. Why are you doing this to me? And I'm like, why are you doing this to me? What is going on? What are we doing? And I'm looking at all these 20 other people standing around and I'm like, can anybody here help me?

Could talk some common sense into this guy? And everyone's just standing around, you know, kicking their feet because obviously they're doing community service and they don't want to get in trouble by the boss, who I imagine this one guy gets paid for some reason. So I leave and I'm so fumed. This is like right before Christmas. He's the foreman. He's the foreman.

The foreman of the recycling son, which okay, that's a job, it's a thing. You're doing it good for you, making a living. I can't argue with someone making an honest living. This motherfucker refuses to let me drop off the recycling. Okay, right before Christmas, two weeks after Christmas, now we have every box that has ever been made under the sun in our fucking living room.

And I'm like, I gotta take this stuff to the recycling center. And I go, I'll try again. Maybe he was just in a bad mood. Right. And maybe he's not there. They have to have more than one. He wasn't feeling Bon Homie. He was not feeling Bon Homie.

There's no Bon Homie about this guy. He was Bon Bromi. He was, this guy was like, he was so feeling about home. There's no bond homie about this guy. He was he was bond bromey He was this guy was like he was so pissed at me and I couldn't imagine why So I go this time. I decided different tactic rather than park. I'm gonna go through drive through they have drive through You just pop open your back and they take your stuff I have never been asked for my driver's license except for that one time before I pull up I don't see the guy and I'm like, Oh yeah, great. Pop my trunk. Guys are coming over. You know, all these boxes going. Yep. They're all going. Thanks so much guys. Really appreciated. Happy holidays. Happy new year

or whatever. And then all this stuff not to know where Mr. Grumpy, but Mr. Unbonhomi starts walking toward me and I'm like, Oh, you got to be kidding me, dude. And so he walks up and I crack my window a little bit and he goes, I need to see your driver's license. And I go, dude, we had this conversation last time. Why didn't you just take your driver's license this time? I did. Take my driver's license this time.

And I put it up to the window, right? Like one of those cop videos, like one of those assholes who's trying to antagonize the cops for clicks on YouTube, right? I'm like, okay, here you go, bro. And he's like, please give it to me. And I'm like, no, I'm not giving you my driver's license. And he's like, I need to touch your driver's license, make sure it's real.

And I'm like, dude, you work at a fucking recycling center. You are not the CI goddamn A. What are you talking about? Why would you need to touch my driver's license? He had it out for you. He did license? He had it out for you. He did. He absolutely had it out for me. And I was so miffed because I'm like,

what did I ever do to this guy? What did I ever do to this bro? That now he's pissing me off. So I'm like, bro, you don't need to touch my driver's license. And he goes, you don't need to drop off your recycling. Boys, put it back. And I'm like, you're gonna be kidding me. No recycling for you? Put it back and I'm like you're gonna be kidding me nobody's

cycling for you it's like he's got a gang did you squeal off? yeah I know I go no don't put it back that's what I said I tried to disclose the thing and he walked back and he grabbed it and he's like come on boys put it back

he does not show you my driver's license and I'm like you gotta be fucking and he walked back and he grabbed it. And he's like, come on boys, put it back. He does not show you my driver's license. And I'm like, you gotta be fucking kidding me. So now I go, okay bro, here you go. He takes it out, he's got these gloves on that have been touching horseshit all day long. Somebody else's crap. And he's like fiddling with it.

And I'm like, okay dude, give me a back. Now we're having this like three year old argument. Give it back to me. No. It's mine. I dude, give me a back. Now we're having this like three year old argument. Give it back to me. No, it's mine. I want my driver's license back. So finally he hands it back to me and he says, okay, he can drop off his recycling. And I'm like, did you just really say

I can drop off my recycling? Do you really think that you're like some thiefdom here at the fucking recycling center and you're the king of the thiefdom? This is awful. This is terrible. I don't understand what in the world that we are doing. So then, okay, so I leave. Now, last week, and now I've been driving

to the other recycling center, but last week I got the kids in the car. At least you can make a drop off, ours is you have to make an appointment. To make an appointment to get, drop off your goddamn recycling? Yes. So they want you to not ruin the earth,

but they want you to make sure that it's on their schedule? Well, apparently it's just popular. I think what it is is a few bad apples ruined it then for all of the rest of us. What exactly did they do? They were driving in from out of state. Driving in from out of state? They dropped off their recycling.

I think illegal dumping was what was happening. Oh my God, illegal dumping at the recycling center? I mean, thieves that care. At least they care. Exactly. Just take the boxes. Criminals that care. You gotta be kidding me, really?

You have to make an appointment? What do you do? Like scan your thing when you're going to know it? No, and in fact, that's why I, a couple of times I've brought things up here to you. Because I'm like, I don't know. Well, now I got my own problems.

Now I got my own problems. I don't want to make an appointment. Oh my God. Dude, it's like terrible. So last week, I got the kids in the car and I'm like, okay, this guy can't be possibly working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Let me go try this one.

And you know what I did? Chris, this is most ridiculous. So there's a gas station across the street, sits up a little bit on a hill. You can check out the recycling area. Hi! You stayed, you did a stakeout? I did.

One of my kids is like, Daddy, what are we doing? And I'm like, shh. You got your binoculars. Give me some coffee. Give me some coffee and two bear claws. I'm going to be here all night, son, if it takes all night. I mean, my one-year-old is just screaming. She can't take it anymore. She's in the car.

I'm just sitting there in a gas station, freezing cold outside. I got my window rolled down a little bit. I'm like, huh, I don't think I see him. But do I see him? I don't know. I was just sat there for 10 minutes and I didn't see him. So I was like, okay, great. But now here's the point of the story. The coast is clear. The coast is clear. I'm going to go. I pull up to the drivers, to the drive-thru because I got the kids in the car. I pull up, I pop open my, my trunk. No one says a word to me, except how are you doing?

Have a nice day. Thank you very much. That was it. No one asked me for my driver's license. No one. And so this guy obviously has pointed me out. Yes, yeah. As I don't know.

He's been tagged. Yeah. We have a Bonhomie bromance going on. It's like an anti-Bonhomie bromance. We hate each other and I don't really know why. Why does that happen in life? Why do you just meet people that you dislike right off the bat?

It feels so, I don't know, incongruous. I guess I don't know. I'm using another word. I don't understand what it means. But I've got to be honest with you. It just doesn't feel good. Like I don't know why this guy didn't like me from the beginning.

What happened? What did I do? I just got out of my car to drop out the race. I honestly, because I am so not into strangers, I just treat them all with kindness so I don't get bothered. You know what I'm saying? I'm not, I don't care that much

to get into arguments with strangers. Unless I see something going down that I clearly need to get involved in. I just don't do that. And even then, I'm likely to run away. I'm likely to tuck my tail and run away. So I have to say to this, my friend at the recycling center, let's be friends now, okay? I know you're not listening to the commercial break, but if you are, if you know anybody

that works at the recycling center near where I may or may not live, if you know anybody and you know this brother, just tell him, you know, Brian just wants to drop off his recycling. Give him a break. I just want to drop off the recycling. That's all I want to do. Do we have to get, do we have to be enemies, mortal enemies? I'm literally staking you out. I'm checking out when you do. Well, what I have done if he had been there. I don't know. I don't, I didn't even plan B. I just felt like, well, he's not gonna get me today. Fucker. You're not gonna bug me today.

Fucker. It almost sounds like that $25 extra a month or more than just to not deal with this guy. I totally agree with you. I told Astrid, but you know. You've got coffee expenses, bear claw expenses, binoculars, gas to get up there. Not to mention the kids just going crazy in the back.

And I am like a myopically focused murder detective. I'm like Jodie Foster and true detective. Can't think about anything else. That's a great show, by the way. Oh, yeah, it's really, I am like. The Corpsicle. Well, you know what? We'll get into it the next segment.

Let's take a short break and then we'll be back. Finally, I feel like I was waiting forever for my turn to talk.

Thank you Magic Spoon for being a sponsor of the commercial break and giving me something to look forward to late night after I get out of the studio. We were talking about True Detective before the break. I am getting back into this show after taking a couple of years, taking a couple of seasons of going, eh. Well, it hasn't been on in a couple of years, but. Well, I know, but like the last two seasons, the first season was outrageously good. Yeah. So fucking good. I watched it all in one night on my very first iPhone, sitting in my apartment by myself.

I was up to like six in the morning. I watched one, some, I don't know who gave me their login to HBO or maybe it was free at the time, like a free trial that I tried. But I started at like 7.30 at night and I just balled through it in one night. I loved it so much. So, like, you know, moody and cool and mystical and could it be would it be? Are there ghosts? Are there dragons? What's going on? There's circles, lots of circles. I like circles. There's people hanging from trees. I like circles.

You know, in weird ways, by their feet and their toenails. This is interesting. I like this. And then they followed it up with that damn fucking Vince Vaughn dude, and I'd like Vince Vaughn Was that the second one? Yeah, that was the second one the second season There was another one and then there was the Vince Vaughn. No, there was Marsha Ali Okay, Marsha Ali did the most recent one season three. Okay, and that was good, but it wasn't great I thought it was good, but it wasn't great. He was like revisiting the ghosts of the past Okay, I got that part Vince Vaughn. I don't even know what in the world. Were they like in tunnels and street crime? Yeah, and I just think of Vince Vaughn as comedy. He's the wedding crash. Not a mob boss.

Yeah, or the swinger, you know, swinging. Hey, baby. What's the saying? Something about babies? Beautiful babies. Beautiful babies. My beautiful babies like in a trailer. I thought the movie was okay. I thought swingers was okay. I never thought it was great, but I thought it was okay. It's a good start, right? For Vince Vaughn. And then we had a couple of comedies. And John Fadrow. Oh, yeah. And John became a very famous director and actor in his own right. And then you have Vince who went on to do some of the comedy greats of the early 2000s. Old school wedding crashers, old school wedding crashers.

He was in a few romcoms, which I, one just happened to be on the other day. I think it was the one with him and Jennifer Aniston, or he had Reese Witherspoon. I don't know, I think he did movies with both of them. Like couples retreat? Oh, couples retreat was funny. Couples retreat was really funny.

But that was Jason Bateman, wasn't it? Anyways, we're... Well, Vince Vaughn was in the movie, but Jason Bateman was also in the movie too. Back to the corpsicle. Yeah, the corpsicle. It's good. I wanna say that the court,

I've got an idea about what's going on with the corpsicle. So spoiler alerts ahead. Turn off for the next period of time. Fast forward for the next five minutes. If you do not want to hear about true detectives, most recent episodes, the corpse, the call found out on the ice. Are we recording this because yeah, OK. It just made me think that maybe someone will never even hear this. Nope, it's here. Here we are. We got it.

Okay, just checking. Okay, I thought maybe you need to take a break or something. Are we recording this? Because I'm going to leave. So, it's not a totally strange question to ask, but we're recording this. So, there you go. Give it how many we've not recorded. I know. And our computer's reacting a little funny the last couple of days. So that corpsicle that's found out there,

another most recent episode, the dude who survived, if you know you know, the dude who survived, he wakes up in the hospital. Screaming. He's got no legs, no arms, no eyes, no whatever. He's just, he's a mangled mess. He's screaming bloody murder. And the detective played by Jodie Foster says

Who did this who killed it? What were you running from? Why were you so scared? And he says we woke her up. We woke her up and she's coming after all of us We woke her up and she's gonna kill all of us or whatever he said. Mm-hmm now Here's what I believe if you remember those scientists were doing like super high level research on bacteria that could save or kill everybody. Save everybody or kill everybody. And they had to drill down 53 million miles into the Earth's core to find this particular bacteria, whatever.

And they found it at some point, but they couldn't bring it back to life because of whatever, right? There was some explanation that was given. My opinion is that they indeed woke up the bacteria and the bacteria had them going crazy, like something happened to them. The bacteria infected them, something happened. What about the circles? The tattoo circles? I think that's just a mislead.

And what about the dead guy that the one woman sees, like her dead son, that showed where those people were on the ice? I think this is all part of the mystical, magical experience of true detective. But my true detective detective tells me that this is all misdirection. Yeah, that they're just, yeah, it's bacteria. At the end of the day, it's a common cold

that killed everybody. I think, I think. And then people are like, what about the tongue that they found? I think the tongue was being used in that experiment. I think they cut think. And then people are like, what about the tongue that they found? I think the tongue was being used in that experiment. I think they cut out the tongue. I think somehow it got over there because they needed a tongue for some reason.

And they warmed that bad boy up and then they put the bacteria on her tongue. I don't know. I think, I think maybe the tongue started to move after they put the bacteria in. You do have great detective skills based on your stakeouts. Oh, never again.

Well that guy find me in his drive-thru recycling drop-off area. I've decided no more. You won't get me anymore. You're never gonna touch my license again. Ever. Why do you need to touch my license? Why? For what reason?

With the gloves. With the gloves, with the nasty ass gloves on. You've been grabbing everybody else's recycling. We'll be holding it up to the light to see if like the seal is in Georgia. It was like flexing it. I'm like flex it. What are you doing? Who is showing up with their fake ID's? I know. Like he's a bouncer at the world's hottest nightclub. Like making sure they don't know underage sping get in. I'm like, come on dude. I'm not on room Springer Drop off my recycling

Let's go bro. I'm supposed to be like a quick and dirty kind of thing. You know we're dropping off going Go right if I'm in that reset if I'm ahead of that recycling I'm just like let's get them through as fast as we can no bother no must-no fuss Let's get that recycling there because we're doing some good for the earth and so are they by dropping it off So let's give them a break if they don't have their driver's license with them or their license plate says something different than what it's supposed to. I would only question if it was like an out of state driver's license. Out of state. Yeah.

I find it hard to believe anybody's driving out of state. I've got to give it in Georgia. Well, honey, I don't know if you know this and I know that this is gonna be very disappointing after 27 years of marriage and four children But I have been leaving this trailer every Tuesday night and returning every other Monday night because I have been dropping off our recycling and the

Not local recycling center six states away in Georgia. I don't know if you know but they have the nicest recycling centers in the world. You can drive right through, pop open your trunk. I'm also sleeping with your sister. I've also been taking your sister on these trips. She really enjoys them. Yeah. True detective. I don't know, it's very interesting. I love seeing Jodie Foster back. She's just, one of the greats to me. She's a heavy hitter man. She is one of the great actresses of our time.

I have to admit, you know what movie I like from Jodie Foster is that contact movie. You ever seen contact? Contact is so good. One of my favorites. One of my favorites. It gives you like a There is some kind of crazy machine that's being built built and it was coming through on radio waves

Messages on how to build the thing and then that one exploded, but then they had the backup Yes, it gives me hope that Elon Musk is actually in outer space right now floating around shaving his head every day and going I built two of them. Why build one when you can build two at twice the price? It's in the Japanese ocean with Godzilla. Godzilla helped us build it. Oh, it's so good. It is so good.

And then she goes through, she finds out some meaning of life and then she comes out the other end and everyone's like, no, you didn't. then she comes out the other end and everyone's like no You didn't you've totally ruined the thing and she's such a good movie. It's a good premise. It's such a good movie It's really well done and then of course everyone no one can forget Sounds like lambs, which is just a star Making roll for her. She is so good to the father beans

Are you do you hear the little lambs crying with your father beans? Like, he auntie. Yeah, nice to be auntie. Hand, Mr. Lecter, Mr. Lecter, stick with the subject at hand, father beans. It's still such a scary movie. I know, and that got. Yeah, he was making a skin suit.

Yeah, and he's dancing with his dick tucked in. That's such a great scene. Such a great scene. So Jody Foster, true detective, new season, I highly suggest you watch it. It seems like they're back in form, maybe not first season form, but certainly back to the moody, weird, twisty,

turny kind of thing that we all liked. Have you ever watched the show, Happy Valley on Amazon? Yes, yes. I am getting into this Happy Valley because I find this to be a very engaging show. The detective show. The detective show, with the lady and her sisters drunk

and the whole nine yards. That is such a good show, so well written. It's been listed as one of the great shows of the past few years. Oh really? Oh, okay, I did not know that. I thought I was just watching yet another British. But it's on Amazon now, that's great,

because before it was on AMC. It's on AMC and then it was on BBC. By the subscription and I'm putting my foot down. Yeah, I'm putting my foot down because what does AMC have to offer? I went through my Amazon the other night and I found out that I had signed up for AMC, Sundance channel

Eggcorn TV BBC did you know Amazon now? Did you get your message on Amazon yesterday? I got my message on Amazon and if anybody else got this message you should write in and we'll bitch about it Amazon put a message on my fucking Prime TV yesterday. You know what that Prime TV said you are now watching ad Supported Prime TV said, you are now watching ad supported Prime TV. Oh yeah. For an additional $2.99 a month, you can go ad free. And I was like, the fuck? You're a trillion dollar company, two trillion dollar company,

and you're going to charge me $2.99 to not have ads in all of my favorite television shows and movies? That is insane. I don't think the movies actually have them. They might have pre-rolls or something like that. But I was so fucking pissed. I'm like, $2.99, Amazon, really? I spend all of my money with you every time

that I make goes to Amazon in some way, shape, or form. You give me boxes that are too big and now you want me to pay $2.99 for a fucking ad-free experience. So I was like, I'm not doing it, no! Puttin' your foot down. Then I got into bed last night. Until you really wanna watch something.

Yes, I got into bed last night. I go to watch Happy Valley and up pops a commercial and I'm like, where does that button for 299 subscription? There's that whole freebie thing too, right? Cause freebie, some of the things that I watch have the freebie, which is ads. I know what I'm getting into with freebie. I understand that I'm getting ad supported TV with freebie,

but I didn't know that when I got from. But that's on Amazon. I know, but well, I mean, they also have their own app too, but I, I, you know, that's the other thing about Amazon is they suck in all these other channels and then they get you. It's like, oh, watch this wonderful British comedy television show, fantastic. And then it's like, you know, free for a month and then you pay seven, nine a month. And I'm like, I know, I always forget about it. So I had to cancel like three of these television stations. I think it was CuriosityStream that I had for like five years. Oh my god. Because I just kept

getting charged and by the time I would get charged then it was too late and it was five dollars. You forget about it the next time you got charged. Yeah, that's seven dollars and then it's twelve dollars. I don't know what I signed up for but I signed up for one of those services like I have to guess five years ago. One of those documentary, you know, hooky boogie, you know, the healer, the healer's shit. You know what I'm saying? Because they had a documentary about the Buddha that I wanted to watch. I signed up for it, never watched it.

And then for years, never watched it. I thought we watched it. This was a different one. That was a different Buddha. Yeah. So for years, they have been charging my fucking credit card. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And every time I go and I try and cancel

and I cannot for the life of me remember my password and it's on an email that I canceled years ago. So now I'm stuck in this endless loop. So finally I try to give them a call. Of course there's no number that, you know, this is this number is no longer subordinate. And I'm like, fuck these fuckers probably are in bankruptcy and they're still charging me 10.99 a month so that I can watch some shitty documentary

which I never watched. Fuck! See if you can get on there and watch it. No, I can't because I can't remember my password. And I can't reset it because I don't have access to the email. It's like I'm just stuck, bag these people 10.99 a month.

It's ridiculous. And I think that's part of the problem. Like in the podcast industry, there's a big conversation that's going on right now. Add supported or subscription. Right. And some people, some of the bigger podcasts are saying subscription model is best because then we know that we're, you know, people are paying for the content or getting what they want without the commercials. We chose to do commercials because we didn't aren't convinced anybody would pay for the material. Although some people have written in and said they would support an ad-free version of the show. That is really nice of you. But I haven't seen like a thousand of those emails come through.

I've seen like, you know, 12. And I'm just pretty sure that my family is not going to live on $1.99 times 12. I'm pretty sure. That's only going to support the app that you can't get into. Yeah, that's the only thing it's going to support gonna support is fucking HealerStream or whatever it is. HealerStream. So I am just like, this is, I think, like you said on one of the episodes,

I think there's an Instagram reel about this, like you said on one of the episodes, it is so bifurcated and you have, everybody has to pay for everything. Everybody's charging you for everything every month. You know, this subscription model is great for the people who are charging it because you will likely forget that you ever use the service in the first place and they will just keep dinging you. They'll just keep dinging you until you realize that you didn't use the service. I do have to set up a reminder every time I do sign up for one of those free

trials. I just automatically go to my calendar and set a reminder every time I do sign up for one of those free Trials you set up a run automatically go to my calendar and set a reminder. That's a smart thing to do I wish I had thought of using my calendar for anything I'm always like it works out the time You know how many meetings people call me and I'm like five minutes after the meeting started They're like text me. Hey, you jump it on this and I'll be like, yeah, but I don't have the link The link's not working. Can you send it? Right now, the second. And then I jump on and I'm like, oh. You're a big picture kind of guy.

Yeah, I'm a big picture guy. I learned this years ago when we worked together. I'm big picture. You want ideas, I got ideas all day long. Yes, you do. You want work, go to someone else for that. Exactly. I don't ever feel like, Brian,

you said you were gonna do that proposal. Oh, I did. Oh I probably will I've got a run out to this other meeting. Oh my god, dude. I just hated it so much. I hated it Everybody I would nag you I know I would and I I'm just one of these guys I do what's in front of me. Whatever needs to be done today. I do whatever needs to be done tomorrow. I'll do when tomorrow is today Five minutes late five minutes late, but you know that's just part of dealing with Brian is that sometimes I don't check email for days Well, I because I don't want to be bothered by it really I don't want anybody to demand anything of me. So I just say hey listen

And it's I'm being honest. I didn't see that email Never saw it never once never came through Well it came through but I never checked it and then sometimes when I check on a junk Wow, it went in junk meaning it's more than an hour old It's junk If it's more than an hour old, it's junk. I started this rule a long time ago with myself. I said, okay, Brian, you're getting nothing done because all you're doing is responding to emails. I learned this when we worked at the radio company

because everybody just sending emails constantly. I need this, I need that, I want this, I want that. Get your reports, get your projects, all this other stuff. And so what I said to myself, okay, Brian, check your emails twice a day in the morning and right before you leave that way you can address whatever needs to be dressed But it's not ruining your entire day. Just putting out fire after fire after fire except when you're late to meetings hour after hour Yeah, yeah, well listen. I didn't I didn't say I Didn't say I had to follow up on the email. I just said I would check the email

I had to follow up on the email. I just said I would check the email. To be fair, I was usually the first one in for the projection meeting, figuring if I'm gonna get my ass pounded. Without anybody else here. I might as well do it and be the first one, right? Get it out of the way. So, you know, I just, I don't know, it's just a part of my personality to not use a lot of these time-based reminders.

That's not so awful. But a personality that I pay attention to time. Yeah, I don't want that. Who wants to be bothered by the tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock? It's always coming at you and you're like, I don't know what to do. I got a meeting in five minutes ago. I got a meeting in five minutes ago. And so I've got to stop doing what you're asking me to do right now so I can go to that meeting

that started in five minutes ago. That meeting starts in five minutes ago. And I can't think of how many times that has happened to me, hundreds. Oh, I bet. But listen, I times that has happened to me hundreds. Oh, I bet But this I digress a little bit. Yeah, true detective is a great show And so is happy Valley you should watch that yeah, you just got to pay but remind yourself in some way shape or form I'm gonna make a sundial up front and then I'm going to put little reminders.

I like Thai blue to the ground every time. You're going Mayan. Yes. I'm going to go Mayan calendar with dog barking when it's time to cancel. Oh, time to cancel Max. Someone go feed that sundial. So she shuts up. I'll just have blue run in circles until it's time to cancel. Oh my god. All right, so you know we got a... Now speaking of ads-supported content, we now got to put some ads in the show so we can support this content. So let's do that and you know we'll be back I think.

Ugh, 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 TCB Podcast. Wanted to be your turn to talk? Call us and spill the tea at 626-ASK-TCB3, and you may hear your voice on the show. You can also text us your tea at 8-5-TCB3, and you may hear your voice on the show. You can also text us your T at 855-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. All right, so I got an Ask TCB I thought I threw out here. Oh, good. It's a very interesting one. I've gotten a couple of questions. I like just breeze by this a little bit. I got a couple of questions about what do we think

about the upcoming election? And I don't think about the upcoming election because all it does is stress me the fuck out. There's not a lot of great options here, but I will say this. I think, you know, the world is so divided right now, and I don't wanna add to it by, you know, talking shit about this person,

talking shit about that person, but I will say this, vote. Yes, that is the way. Show up and vote. Don't rest on your laurels, don't think one thing is gonna happen or another thing is gonna happen. Listen, I think if you listen to the show long enough,

you'll probably figure out who I'm going to reluctantly choose in the next election. But at the same time, like the reason why we don't do political commentary is because so many people do it and so many people are much more knowledgeable. The pundits are much more knowledgeable than I am. You can turn on any given number of television stations 24 hours a day to hear that they're political innings,

probably with some actual information that has to do with facts. Yeah, and we are just not that show. It's not that we are afraid to talk about politics. It's that we don't want to talk about politics. That's the break. The commercial break. Yes, that's the break. We give that to you every day, and we don't want to start running backwards on that. Now, I'm also not afraid to share that I will not be voting for any furry related bill that comes out. I don't think we need to stop furries from pissing in public bathrooms in schools.

I just don't think that's an issue that anybody needs to be concerned with. Okay, so there you go. There's your answer for the five or six people who have recently started to poke us a little bit about who we're voting for. Tell you what, I will tell you who I voted for the day after the election.

How's that? I'll do that. I'll be happy to do that. All right. So, Ask TCB, you ready for this one? Non-politically related. Okay. Hey, Brian and Chrissy, best to you and best to you, my friend.

We're going to call her Angela. That's what she's requested, Angela. Angela says, and I don't want to read like this whole thing. It's very long. Thank you, Angela, for bringing in so much detail, but I kind of truncated this story a little bit to fit a segment of the show, so we don't go on for two hours. It was a very well written, well thought out email, but here is the premise of it. The premise is that Angela has a sister, okay? That sister came to the family by marriage, not by blood. Then by her mother.

Her mother got married to another man, then the sister came in, and then her mother divorced that man, and then another man came in and he brought his two sons. The son, the oldest son, is the same age as her sister Let's call her Diane. So Angela sister with the sister. That's not the sister anymore Not technically a sister anymore, but they have they consider themselves sisters Like they're all a big happy family or were all a big happy family Until she got a second divorce that third divorce I guess this is at this point when she divorced the man who brought the two sons into the family.

They were married for about 10 years. Her sister was 16 years old when her mother got married and the two sons came into the family. So now there's four children all together. We got Angela, we got Diane, we got the two sons. Rob and Bob, let's call them Rob and Bob. Rob and Angela, Rob and Diane are the same age. 10 years later, they get divorced,

and now they're 26 years old. But they all still get together, and they all still sometimes show up at similar family events. They make sure they have Christmases together. They make sure they have Easter's together. Angela. That was an amicable divorce.

It sounds like the siblings wanted to kind of hang out. Keep that going. Yeah, they realized what a kind of crazy Yeah, it's like the Brady Bunch With a lot of divorces in between a lot of divorce is making up the makeup of that that family But sounds like the siblings at least tried to stay together here We are four years later. So now Diane is 30 years old as is Rob

So Rob and Diane are 30 years old together Her sister came to her recently to explain that she was indeed Attracted to Rob. She felt like Rob and her had they were Soulmates quote unquote soulmates and now Diane my step sister is asking for my approval my tacit approval in other words do you think it's okay if Rob and I start a relationship hmm and Angela says she is very confused by the whole thing and she doesn't know what to think she never liked Rob's dad in the first place and she always felt that Rob was kind of a womanizer. He had many girlfriends in the ten years that

that my mom and His dad were married. She felt that he sometimes was a little too slick for his own good I get that kind of like he's a quick talking fast talking type of dude. This is the son the son. Yeah, okay, okay? And and she's just as a side note. She didn't like the dad either. She didn't like the dad. She didn't like the kids. So sounds like her perspective may be a little bit colored here, but she goes on to explain that she is trying her best to be objective about this and that at a base level,

she does not see anything wrong with the two of them dating because They were never blood related and they were only You know brother and sister because of marriage which didn't last and has now been over for four or five years Brian and Chrissy, what do you kind of advice do you think I should give to my sister? And I would say I only have one piece of advice and that is videotape it and put it on porn hub because I think it's gonna Make a lot of fucking money because that's all anybody seems to be interested on that damn porn hubs brother and sister sex activity Honestly, what is going on in this country? There's like entire sections not that I would know myself, but in my in my

Circle of friends. I've heard that step-isters, step-brother porn is extraordinarily popular on a lot of these websites. Who knew? I find it a little bit repugnant myself, but okay, whatever. So, but I'm also thinking of like the traditional, you know, we're young and then our mom and dad marry and they stay together forever, but we're having sex in the background or whatever.

I feel like we've heard something similar to this kind of question before. I feel like maybe we did a show. We did do a show on cousins. Cousins. Cousin fuckers. Cousin fuckers. We should check in on those cousin fuckers, honestly. We should see what they're up to.

I've always wondered, what happened to those two cousin fuckers? They were all over TV for a minute, now they're gone. They were like petitioning the state of Utah. Yeah, they were. To see if they could have sex together. Yeah, they were gathering signatures in the park. Yeah. That's what I say, Angela.

Do that. Tell Diane to go gather signatures in the park. Can I fuck my step-brother? Get out and vote. Get out and vote. This is what I say. You got to get out there. If you want change, you got to make it yourself.

No one's going to do it for you. You want that kind of activity to be legal, which I think it already is anyway in most states, then I say go for it. I don't give a shit. Honestly, like you met when you were 16 years old. It's not like you met when you were two, right? Which I think may not be all that different, but kind of different.

It is, I think, growing up from a young age versus meeting someone when you're going through puberty. Yeah, well, you're already sexually aware. It's not like, you know, it's this complete naive, we're three-year-olds and, you know, playing around, and then when we're 25, we all of a sudden want to have sex with each other, right? I think that's a little bit different, a little bit.

My perspective is, who gives this shit? Honestly, if they love each other, they love each other. I mean, if they're talking soulmates. That's a big word. That is a big word. That's a big word. That they might be their true flame. What is that? A twin flame.

A twin flame. They might be a twin flame. God, that's... That is twisted. But they might be. You never know. They might be like true soulmates. And I do have to say I support love in most of its forms.

You love all the heart wants with the heart wants. The heart wants with the heart wants. I don't know what to tell you. I want to have sex with my sister. I can't help it. The heart wants with the heart wants. I mean, I guess they haven't been siblings even for a while.

And if that was, you know, in the 16 type range when they lived under the same roof, that could have only been for, you know, a couple years, I guess, if they went to college. Could only have been for a couple years. The one question that I think was kind of answered, but not really answered, I read over it a couple times just to make sure that I didn't get, like, I didn't get the firm answer. But the answer was, did Diane stick around and live with them after her dad divorced, she made it sound as if they did. So I don't know, like that situation in and of itself is kind of weird and it deserves more exploring. I think that question is more confusing than any question about them having sex. Yeah, at 30 years old. You are adults and there are adults doing a lot worse in this world

than having sex with a stepsister. I would tell you. A former stepsister. A former stepsister, not even a current stepsister. I think the runway is clear on this. Yeah. I think you've given it enough time, five years is a long time. You guys, the parents were together for 10 years during your formative years

and you have found some kind of relationship. Listen, the guys of womanizer, the guys of womanizer, that's a different story altogether. But I have to take at face value what's being said here in the sense that I don't know him to is a womanizer, the guy is a womanizer. That's a different story altogether. But I have to take at face value what's being said here in the sense that I don't know him to be a womanizer. You said he was a womanizer. That's your perspective. And maybe he used to be a womanizer, but now he's come around.

Now he's settled down with his sister. So I mean, what more could you ask for? I don't know, I've kind of rooting for this couple actually. Listen, Diane. Keep us posted. Yeah, keep us posted. I like the thought. I like the thought that you meet somebody, the relationship grows over time, and you

find out that this is really the person you're supposed to be with. I like that kind of story. I think that's a story that I can relate to, that I'm familiar with. It's unlike Chrissie and I, who are like brother and sister, probably will never have sex, actually probably not ever have sex, but our twin flame has grown into this twisted pot

of bullshit that we call the commercial break. We spend more time here than we do with our own spouses. The lights burn bright. The lights burn bright here at the commercial break. The studio. It is better bright here at the commercial break. The studio. It is better to sparkle than to fade away. I don't even know what that means.

I mean, it is better to, what is it better to? Burn bright. Burn bright, then sparkle and fade or something? Fast or something. Something Kurt Cobain said. I don't know. Poor Kurt. They released his autopsy report, did you see that?

No. Kurt Cobain, I read through it. It's, I don't, it doesn't say anything surprising. It's just there's a lot of detail into what happened with Kurt. And poor Kurt, you get, you think back on that time, what a, what a superstar. And what like a voice of a generation and a guy who by all tenses and purposes

wasn't hurting anybody. He was just like a good musician who wrote a lot of songs. Hurt himself. He hurt himself. And it's a terribly sad, terribly, terribly sad thing. And when you think of music back in that time period, were you in the Nirvana? Yeah.

You were? Oh yeah, Pearl Jam Nirvana, Sound Garden, Temple of the Dog. Matchbox 20, Fair Naked Ladies. It's been four weeks since you looked at me. R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R- Chicken, get a much different, much better chicken. Watch it like Spiles with a light song. Got a bright song. And I'm right there, and I'm right there, and I'm right there. But can I love you when I see you?

And I'm right there. Oh, no, different man. Oh, those very naked ladies. So do you think of, when you think of the album that you want to play today, do you think of Nirvana's Never Mind? Would you put that in, listen to that stip to stern, or would you rather listen to like 10 or verses from Pearl Jam or Sound Gardens, Bad Motor Woozie, or I call it Bad Motor Woozie, it's Bad Motor Finger, but I like to call it Bad Motor Woozie for some reason.

I always have, I don't know. Woozie. Yeah. Alice and Chains, Man in the Box. Alice and Chains, that was a good one. Yeah, Pita Saterra's. I have a right to fight for your honor. Jeff, we have a big final collection

and we just listened to Blood Sugar Sex Magic the other night. Not a chili pepper snack. And it was good, it was really good. I love that chili peppers fan. She can't get into it. I don't know why. I just never have been able to get into it.

It's not that I don't think they're talented musicians. Flea, it's talented musician Anthony Kiedas is doing that thing on the stage. And, you know, Will Ferrell's a great drummer. So that's all I got to say. True. Yeah. No, well, that whole genre definitely evokes emotion.

A feeling. A feeling, yeah. I was there, I did it. It was like just coming into my teenage, you know, to my formative years. And I identified with a lot of what was being said in the moodiness of the whole thing. Everybody's moody around that. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, we're all upset at it.

Feelings, our feelings. The man, I have feelings and I want to emote, but no one lets me emote. I want to be a rock star, but I don't want to fame, man. I don't want to do it. Parents don't understand it. They never do. We don't want them to. Why would we?

It's your music. It's mine. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. I'll be in the basement ideating suicide and smoking lots of pot if anybody needs me. In my sweater, in my flannel, I'll be back. It's August, it's 93 degrees, Brian. Yeah, that's what you would say, man.

You don't understand, you never understood. No, no, no, no, we just went through Vietnam but everything's cool, dude, don't worry about it. Right, exactly. Whatever. You lie in your own shit. You're the man in the box. But when I think of great albums, and I have to say this,

I think of Nevermind, but it wouldn't be my first choice of albums to put in today and listen to. And I don't know why that is. I just don't know in my personal opinion if that has aged as well as some of the other music of the time and that is a controversial thing to say but I'm going to say it right now. I just don't know for my own dollar. I don't know if it's- You know that's the thing about art. That's all interpreted- That is the thing about art is that Brian is constantly critiquing and knows nothing about it. I have Dick Tracy collection on my wall.

I mean, what more could you ask of a guy? Exactly. Does it all. It does say it all. Hey, I wanted to ask you about Neuralink. Ooh. Talk to me about your feelings about Neuralink. I think it's really scary.

I think it's super fucking fucked up, man. I know that Elon thinks that he's trying to save the world with this one, but I just wonder what in the world's going through his head. Well, Neuralink, obviously. I don't see Elon with Neuralink in his head. I mean, that's kind of where I go with it. Now, I'm not beating up Elon.

I think he's trying to move forward a technology that was clearly coming anyway, right? If somebody was gonna do this at some point, and it seems like he is the first to get on board. Neuralink has a long and very controversial history with ape research. Some of these apes went ape shit, and they literally ripped their skulls out, trying to take this thing out of their head. What the first human being, after approval by the FDA, the first human being last week was implanted with a neurolink by a special robot

that was designed to do this type of surgery. The neurolink goes in the head and it- What part does it go into? The frontal lobelous. The maximus gluteus, I don't sure. I don't know. But it goes into some, you have to do a craniotomy. Like you got to take it out, put it in, at least that's the way it appears. Yeah, that is definitely, you definitely have to have something in your head and you got

to drill a hole in order to get there. Exactly what happens. So they put it in this. But where and for what purpose? I was reading a little in order to get that. Exactly what happens. Yeah. So they put it in this. But where and for what purpose? I was reading a little bit of it earlier about. It's apparently where the verbal neurons get shot off so that you can, you think, like if I'm thinking, not saying, thinking.

Like if you're helping somebody with brain damage, say after a horrible wreck. Yes. Or something like that. Like if it's being used for good, then okay. And there's already types of different things that you can do with people's bodies to enhance them after some kind of...

They have magic machines. Like if you're totally paraplegic, you can look at a list of words and stare at it for like a microsecond and then it can talk that word. I think that is how Stephen Hawking, if I'm not mistaken, do communicate at certain points. But what this is supposed to do is it's supposed to, when you think it, it's in that cortex of your brain

that has thought, right? Like words come out of that part of the brain, but you don't have to say the words, you think them, and then all of a sudden they're being said by the computer. Well, I don't want that. No, I don't want that. But someone who cannot use their mouth may want that. Correct.

That's what I'm saying. What is it being used for? Right now, it's winning. Because I don't know that I completely trust Elon Musk right now after the whole Twitter X takeover. Listen, I don't want anybody to be able to turn me on and turn me off. Right? And I don't want anybody to be able to download what's in my head.

No. Because then for sure, the commercial break is over. It's over. No one's going to mind. Yeah, it needs to stay private. My private thoughts are my private thoughts. It's like I tell my children, your privates are your privates, including your thoughts.

And right now it's only being used. The only test subjects that have volunteered and have been approved to do this are people who have all loss of their limbs. So they cannot communicate via computer because they can't type. So in this sense, maybe if I'm in that situation, maybe I'm volunteering.

Maybe I'm saying, okay, I don't want this necessarily. I don't want someone being able to read my mind. But to change your life. Yeah. I mean, what if someone walks in like a hot girl walks in, right? This is what I'm thinking. 20 years down the road,

everybody's getting NeuroLinks like iPhones. I'm updating my NeuroLink. I'm upgrading to NeuroLink 7 or whatever, right? This is what I'm thinking. 20 years down the road, everybody's getting neurolinks like iPhones. I'm updating my neurolink. I'm upgrading to neurolink seven or whatever, right? But it starts getting on the fritz and some hot girl walks in the coffee shop and you know, you or hot guy or hot guy, but I'm saying hot girl for me. No, but you really, you, you've had your man crush at the Starbucks. Oh, I do have had my man crushes and I do have man crushes. Oh yeah, there's the guy at the Starbucks. And then all of a sudden, right, you're like, You smell so good. Yeah. Oh my god, I bet his dick is huge. Huh?

Sorry, I meant to say I bet your dick is huge. Like what if someone walked in and you were just like, Nice dance. What? I'm afraid this thing would go amuck. I would just be totally, I'd be busted in every situation. Please don't get a boner. Please don't get a boner.

I got a boner. You know, I mean, imagine the situation where I was at the park the other day and I was like, oh my... What a whore. I was like, oh no. The kids' place. The kids' place, or the two ladies of the night walked in to watch their children break their heads wide open and still carrying two glasses of wine. Or stupid brat. Yes, stupid brat.

You're an asshole. Sir, please. Seriously, stupid Sir, please I'm gonna need one of these buttons. Yeah, yeah Excuse my narrow links on the fritz right now, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's not me. That's Elon. He's reading Twitter to me. You're on a unsupported version. I know. Your credit card has been declined.

Nice ass. Yeah. You are not able to access the sensor function. Your credit card has been declined. Yeah, I mean, you know, the thing about it is it's like the artificial intelligence and all of that. Once it's out there, it's out there, so I guess we need to learn a lot about it. Oh, once it's out there, we're done. Yeah, it's game over now.

We need to learn about it now. There is nothing else we can do. The game is over and we are all going to be having neural links in our head in the next 20 years because it's going to become a popular cool thing to do. There's going to be some cool thing that you can do with it that that's the Trojan Horse and everyone's going to go, oh, I have to have that because I got to be able to read my, you know, I got to be able to just wake up and have the news downloaded into my head or the whole season of true detectives now in my head. Wouldn't that be freaky if like it gets to a point where they can

implant memories into your head or like television shows. You don't even have to watch them. You know what they're about. You've seen it because it's in your brain. Isn't that interesting? I mean scary but interesting. I can think of all the different possibilities. I like to discover things though. Yeah, you're going to discover that you got a robot in your head that you gotta pay $5.99 a month to download Twitter. It's a Terminator life. I know. I mean, honestly, this really does, this part really does scare the shit out of me. Yeah, it's scary. Because I saw, I mean, I don't want to like get all macabre here, but I did see the, an investigation that I think one of the big, you know, news agencies did. I can't remember which one,

so I don't wanna misspeak. And they did it about the chimps that have for the last two or three or four years, however long it's been, have been getting these neurolink implants as a part of the process to get approved by the FDA. And it's terrible, horrible, horrible stuff. And it's like, you wouldn't wish that

upon your worst enemy. And the way that these chimps were acting after they got the neurolink, and the things that they were doing to try and get it out of their heads. Yeah. Killing themselves. That's how bad it was. And so I wonder if they have taken care of those problems.

I wonder if that was just... Well, hopefully putting them in on human. I mean seriously. God. You just watch a bunch of people on the side of a building banging their heads trying to get their narrow link out. It would be really scary. So I'll end on that. Yes, happy Valley.
