Who's Brain Is It Anyway?

This episode is sponsored by our good friends at 5 Hour Energy.

All right, Labor Day is right around the corner, and that means I've taken one more spin around the sun.

What if my energy boost could taste like my birthday cake?

A big old birthday party in my mouth without the awkward singing from Steve and accounting.

That's what you will get with the new 5 Hour Energy Confetti Craze flavor.

It's a vanilla-y, buttery, full-on birthday cake vibe without all the sugar and the need to crash.

It's got as much caffeine as a fancy 12-ounce cup of coffee, but as mentioned, zero sugar.

And here's the best part: the thing is tiny.

You can toss it in your bag, your glove box, or sock drawer, or keep it in your fridge.

So, next time you go to grab an emergency snack, you've got confetti in your mouth.

And the confetti craze is only here for a limited time.

Translation: get it now before it's gone, and you're back to pretending that the office room donuts are festive.

5 Hour Energy Confetti Craze flavor is available online, so head to 5Hnergy.com or order yours today on Amazon and start living that big birthday life.

And happy birthday to me.

I'm Brett Podolsky, co-founder of The Farmer's Dog.

We make fresh, real food for dogs.

It sounds so simple, and it is.

But for decades, pet food companies have spent billions of dollars advertising that ultra-processed pellets are what we should be feeding our dogs every single day.

My experience with my own dog, Jada, made me realize that there was another way.

For years, Jada had constant issues.

Can I talk about poops on the radio?

I tried everything until a veterinarian recommended I feed her fresh food.

It was a complete turnaround.

That's why we started the Farmer's Dog, so every dog could experience the benefits of a truly healthy diet.

It's not fancy, it's just fresh whole food, delivered right to your door, pre-portioned for your dog's unique needs.

It's better for them and easier for you.

The next episode of the commercial break is coming up soon.

But first, I wanted to tell you a little story.

The year was 2000 and something.

My 12th child had just been born.

It was late at night.

I was feeding her and she lovingly looked into my eyes and said, Daddy, you're so very handsome.

And I thought to myself, I will never know love like this again.

And the only thing that could make this moment better would be a sweet blue and white trucker hat with an embroidered Commercial Break logo on it.

And now, many years later, I've made that dream come true.

Well, not me, Astrid, but you too can know love like this by going to shop tcbpodcast.com for our very first limited edition merch drop.

Pre-order now at shop tcbpodcast.com and you too can know what it feels like to be loved by exclusive TCB merch.

In Finland, we have this really fun game called sauna klonko and you play it obviously in the sauna.

The rules goes like this.

Everyone Everyone sits on the zone a bench except one.

One person goes underneath the bench and puts his finger up in someone's ass.

The person who gets the finger in the ass cannot make any noise, any face, or any movement.

And then

that's the game.

On this episode of the commercial break.

I told you, one of the first, actually the first stand-up comedy show i ever went to was a poly shore concert and he borrowed a camel light from me that's right and i was like 13 years old

but i don't think he ever smoked it he just borrowed it from me i don't know what was

like prop yeah he was very nice he was backstage one of my friend's moms is like the ticket manager of the

uh i don't i forgot what it was called at the time now it's um it's that little tiny theater that's over there on west peach tree

you know what i'm talking about the one that's like in a bowl It's like a anyway, whatever.

Okay.

The center stage?

Center stage theater.

That's right.

Okay, so I'm now.

Good job, Chrissy.

Of the two brains, one of them is working.

So together we have a half a brain working.

The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

Oh, yeah, Kathy and Kittens.

Welcome back to the Commercial Break.

I'm Brian Green.

This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley.

Best to you, Chris.

Best to you, Brian.

Best to you out there in the podcast universe.

How the hell are you?

Thanks for joining us.

We certainly do appreciate it.

I'm just reading that Dean Kane, Superboy, has joined ICE and he's encouraging others to do so.

It seems like the only super that

Dean Kane has been up to since the Superman role was the Super Walmart in the best in the junk food section.

I'm not scared of Dean Kane as an ICE agent coming after me.

That guy's got a dad mod for sure.

Do those guys have to go through special training?

No, special training.

Sign up.

Are you alive?

Check.

They have $146 billion

now to play with.

And so join the Gestapo.

Feel free to do that.

Go ahead.

That's that.

Listen, lots of people will do it because they need money.

Lots of people will do it because they feel some misguided sense of obligation.

Lots of people will do it because, you know, they're kind of miserable human beings and they want to make other people miserable.

But Dean Kane?

Dean Kane.

I mean,

that kind of came out of Kane out of nowhere.

A Kane out of nowhere.

I didn't expect that.

It did.

Well, I don't think anyone was looking for Dean Kane anyway.

I was about to say, shouldn't he be on a movie set somewhere?

But that hasn't been true ever.

I mean, he's Superman.

That was his only role.

What else did Dean Kane do?

I'm not sure.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Anyway, so happy, happy joy, joy.

Good for Dean Kane.

Don't encourage people to go to ICE.

That's ridiculous.

What are you doing, Dean?

Why are you doing that?

I don't know Dean's heritage, but I can guarantee somewhere in there there's an immigrant, right?

Yeah.

Somewhere in that lineage, there's an immigrant somewhere.

He might be Hawaiian.

Well, everybody is an immigrant.

Every single person, unless you're Native American, then that's it.

So, whatever.

Okay.

Don't join ICE.

How's that?

You want to join ICE?

Don't listen to the commercial break.

I'm okay with that.

I'm okay with those.

And you can send me a text message.

Goodbye, and we'll talk about it.

You and me.

The merch is live now.

The merch is live.

In case you didn't know by us beating it over your head a million times in an episode, the merch is live at shop TCB Podcast.com.

That's right.

Still waiting for that email on the first order, but you know, it's Wednesday, so it's Wednesday, a weekend, and

hopefully by Saturday, we have to.

Telling me we've got a chance.

We have a chance.

Making no money, but that'll be par for the course.

That tracks for sure.

A brand new sheen opened up here in Atlanta.

Do you see that?

A sheen pop-up store?

You know what Sheen is?

Yes, I do know what Sheen is.

Why are we going crazy over this?

It looks like regular clothing to me.

I don't know.

Yeah, is it just cheap?

Just cheap stuff.

I guess it's cheap.

I did a whole break.

I did a whole, not breakdown, but I did a whole rabbit hole thing about six months ago on Sheen because everyone online was going crazy about

it.

Well, isn't it kind of the Amazon of something?

It is the Amazon of regular clothing.

Why are we, I don't know, it's like Forever 21 2.0, right?

Yeah.

So Sheen opens up a pop-up store here in Atlanta at a place called Perimeter Mall, which is like just north of the city.

It's one of the few malls that still has stores in it.

It's the only mall that you can go to it's true it's the only mall you can go to where else are you gonna go avalon but that's not a mall it's like a european village yeah which is how which is how they should all be anyway like those indoor malls that being said i did just go to perimeter mall like a few weeks ago there's a nordstrom there they have having an anniversary sale okay their annual sale yeah i like everything's crazy i know i like yeah nordstrom's good but i should have a nordstrom pack i can't afford it they have a great return policy which is what which is return at any time for any reason whatever oh really yeah okay there you go All right.

So I had ordered some stuff online, didn't like it, but I was bringing it into the store because that's just easier.

It's quicker to get back on the card.

So while I was there, I needed to go to the Apple store.

We had all these

old Apple like Macs, notebooks and things that were just gathering dust.

And I was like, what do we do with these?

And we looked it up.

It said, go to the Apple store.

and recycle them.

Oh, really?

Okay.

So I had like four of them, you know, and I'm, I'm going.

And so I had to go from from the Nordstrom to the Apple store inside the mall.

Yeah.

While I'm in there, I thought, this is nice.

Okay.

This is nice.

It's not, you're not dealing with weather, having to like jump in and out if there's bad weather

to go to the next store.

Fair enough.

It's all there.

It's all enclosed and nice.

I thought, hmm.

If you're going to go to a mall.

I do like the mall.

In Atlanta, go to Perimeter Mall.

Lennox, you take your chances at Linux.

I'm just being real honest.

And lots of stores there are closing too.

Lennox used to be the mall mall to go to.

And when I lived downtown, I went there a lot.

When I lived in Buckhead, I went to Linux.

That's where I went.

But over the last couple of years.

It's like an age limit.

If you're under 18, you can't go after

seven or seven.

That's right.

People have been shot there.

There's been lots of drama.

They've had the smash and grabs that have gone on in the store, which is terrible.

And then you go across the street to Fifth Plaza, which is the Rodeo Drive of Atlanta.

And you better have $1,000 on you if you're going to buy anything at Fifth Plaza.

Seriously.

And

we go there to get our Christmas photos done.

That's the one time a year we pretend we have enough money to be at Phipps Plaza.

Unless we go to the Johnny Rockets, the only Johnny Rockets location left anywhere.

They have a Johnny Rockets.

They do at the very top.

They have a movie theater, and right next to the movie theater is Johnny Rockets.

But so we go there.

And last time we went there, I think I've mentioned this on the show.

There was an armed guard and or police officer, including attack dogs, at every single fucking store.

And those stores all have steel doors that are closed.

You have to ring the doorbell.

You have to get in.

I'm sure you have to be searched or something.

It's crazy because they've all been subject to kind of this retail theft that is so prevalent right now.

And listen, I'm not about any kind of theft.

Please don't do that.

Please don't do that.

Please don't do that.

PSA from Brian.

Please don't do that.

Please don't do that.

Theft.

It's not for you.

Theft.

Only under certain circumstances should you do it.

But I'll tell you right now, it's like, it's a little scary bringing a bunch of young children into a very nice high-end mall, and all you see are AR-15s and attack dogs.

It's kind of crazy.

It's wild.

I didn't know that.

It is wild.

Like, we went to Naples, Florida.

They have a mall, like an indoor-outdoor mall, beautiful indoor-outdoor mall called the Grove or something like that.

Or the Pelican Bay or the Bay.

I don't know what it's called.

You've seen it.

You've been there.

They have all the same stores that they have at Phipps, but I don't see any AR-15s.

No, they don't need that down there.

So anyway, so Sheen opens at Perimeter Mall, the only mall you can still go to, which is worth a shit, or has any stores you actually want to visit.

They open a pop-up store.

Sheen, and I'm watching these videos.

This ATL Scoop is putting out

a great Instagram account.

They're putting out like a

10-minute by 10-minute update on the Sheen store.

Oh, the pop-up store opening.

So an hour in, there's probably 100 people waiting.

Excuse me.

Four hours before the store opens, there's probably 100 people waiting.

Three hours before, there's probably 250 people waiting so now there's a there's a line twisting and turning they've got like you know the yeah the magic kingdom ropes you know they're kind of moving people in and out of these ropes two and a half hours before the store opens the line is out the mall door and all the way to the marta station what can you get at shane that you can't get i don't know i don't know i'm not in on this either So then five minutes before it opens, there's some lady and she happens to be the first, you know, 40 people.

They're letting people in like 60 people at a time.

You go in, it's a sparsely populated store with some, you know, portable

like coat hanger type things and some shelving on the wall.

And it's big, but it's, there's not a lot of stuff in there.

But when you walk in the door, all of the Sheen employees are standing there in a line waiting to give you a Sheen bag, and they are all dancing to some of the loudest hip-hop music I have ever heard play anywhere.

Now, cool.

It's a vibe.

It's a thing.

Like

there's something going on in there, and people get excited about it.

And I guess if there's 6,000 people waiting to get in your store, you're hyped, like you're pumped.

But I just don't get it.

I don't get what you can't get on Sheen.com.

Well, that's what I'm going to look.

And so the lady who was explaining the break, who was a very good orator of this particular reel, was explaining that they're letting people in 60 at a time.

And what they do is 60 people come in.

There's what it is what it is.

You see what you see.

You get what you get.

If it's out on the floor, you can have it.

You can buy it.

And then they they close the doors, they restock the sizes, and then another 60 people are let in.

Imagine if you're all the way back at the MARTA station.

You're never getting in.

That's thousands of people waiting for Sheen.

Okay, please show up to vote.

That's all I gotta say.

The same people, please show up to vote.

It was, it's insane.

I've never seen anything.

I haven't seen anything like it since I saw a pop mart video that was very similar.

People are waiting in line.

Can you get laboo boos?

Yeah, you're laboo boo and your lafu foo and your la cuckoos.

It's very interesting.

People are hanging on to any thread of

distraction?

Yeah, dissociation that they can have.

That's right.

I think that's the truth, is that we're all getting sucked into things that allow us to have a break from reality because you turn on any news station, regardless of which way you swing or which news station you watch, you got to admit, it's getting kind of kooky.

Like, it's getting real kooky.

And it's, I, I guess if I was into Sheen, maybe I'd wait in line for six hours too to see Sheen.

I haven't waited in line for anything for six hours.

Have you?

No, no, I don't think so.

Let me think.

Maybe back a long time ago, like when I first started going to Six Flags, I remember waiting in those lines.

That was before they had all the fast pass stuff.

Okay, but maybe in an hour.

But I was like, I was like 13.

Yeah, maybe an hour.

Yeah, I remember waiting in line like that.

The Avatar ride at Disney, I think, is my longest line ever.

And I think it was like two and a half, three hours long.

So, and I was with my brothers.

And I'll tell you what, after two hours, I thought to myself, I don't give a fuck.

What am I doing?

I don't give a shit how good this is.

This is not worth my time.

Because it's going to be over in 10 minutes.

But it was a 10-minute ride, and then it was done.

That was it.

I think to get into the Jane's Addiction concert at the International Ballroom,

maybe I waited a couple of hours because you have to wait in line for tickets.

Yeah.

It wasn't the tickets that I was waiting in line for.

Oh, just to get in?

Yeah, because there's no seats.

So it was like you got, and I was still halfway back in the ballroom.

I wasn't anywhere close to the front.

But that's okay with me.

I don't care for big crowds.

Yeah, I just figure if you're waiting in line for so long, then

isn't there something else we can do?

Yes.

Yeah.

Like, I just like to go fast.

I don't like to go slow.

I don't want to do

well.

I know.

Everybody knows you like to go fast.

I

came over today

and heard the news.

You heard the news that my insurance is going to go through the fucking roof?

Brian Green.

God damn it, Brian.

Astrid called me today.

I was in the car.

I was on my way back from Best Buy buying more equipment for the stupid studio.

And I said, hey, hon.

And she said, what are you doing?

And I said, I'm sitting on the side of the road with my blankers on.

Why?

Because there's an Alpharetta police officer behind me.

Did you get another ticket?

I said, I did.

for speeding yes our insurance is gonna go through the roof i don't understand why you can't go so slow why you can't slow down a little bit you have children what are you doing and she goes into this whole diet i bet she was pissed yes she should fired up fired up and then i said okay love you gotta go hung up the phone and then the police officer stepped out from behind my blind spot and he goes i didn't want to interrupt your conversation she's right and i was like god damn it don't mess with the wife uh the angry wife.

Yeah, I got pulled over again.

So that's two, count them two speeding tickets I've gotten in the last four weeks.

There's no way.

So he says to me, he goes, listen, this is a hot spot.

Everyone drives fast in this area.

Don't feel bad.

There were three other people going the same speed as you.

You happen to be the first.

Yeah, you happen to be the first.

And I thought, okay, great.

My lucky day.

And then he said, Here, you don't have to go to court.

You can pay it online.

But if you choose to show up to court or contest it, here you go.

You know, that's my court date, whatever it it was, October, you know, a couple months from now.

And then he says, and here's the solicitor's phone number at whatever, website, phone number.

If you choose to communicate with the solicitor, you can set a time to go talk to him or her, and then you can see if you guys can work something out.

And I said, yeah, I go, yeah, the solicitor ain't going to give me a break after I have two speeding tickets, both of them over 20 miles per hour in the same month.

And he goes, you never know.

She's there to work for you.

And I thought to myself, what bullshit.

She's there to work for me.

She's not there to work for me.

She's not supposed to shot.

I guess.

But you know what she's going to make me do?

She's going to make me go to those fucking classes.

And then you're going to have to wait in line.

I'm going to have to wait in line.

I definitely am going to have to wait in line.

I talked to a solicitor one time and one time only in my life.

And that's when I got my first DWI, my first DUI.

When I got my first DUI, I had no clue.

All I know is I went to jail and I got a court date.

So I go to jail.

I bail my,

somebody bails me out.

you know my dad's one and only time ever bailing me out so he bailed maybe it wasn't my no it wasn't my dad because it was my second time getting bailed out.

Never mind.

Let's let's backtrack on that.

Dad had a rule.

I only bail you out once.

That's it.

And don't call me again.

And the second time I called him, which was the DUI, he did not bail me out, but I think it was my brother or something.

So all I knew was the bail's bondsman was very serious about me appearing at court and that I needed to appear at court or else I would be in additional trouble.

So I show up at court.

The solicitor is sitting there going through all the files, calling people up one by one, calls me up.

There's like 100 people, you know, waiting there.

I go up and he goes mr green i see here this is your second time being here at our lovely courthouse and i go no it's my first and he goes no it's your second and i thought the first time when i was a kid when i got arrested for mailbox baseball

they had wiped my record clean or at least they said they would

expunged but so i said i i didn't think you guys could see that and he goes no we can see it the public can't see it he's like just because it gets expunged doesn't mean we don't have records of it and i see it here.

And I said, okay.

And he goes, so what is your intention?

What are you going to do today?

And I said, I don't know.

I'm just going to talk to the judge.

I guess I got to go up.

And he said, are you going to plead guilty?

No,

or not guilty.

And I said, I think that I'm going to plead guilty because I was drinking and I was driving.

And he goes, I'm going to stop you right there.

Get a lawyer.

And I go, I don't think I need a lawyer.

He goes, get a lawyer.

Don't say anything else.

Get a lawyer.

Because if you don't get a lawyer, I'm going to give you the, I'm going to ask the judge to give you the maximum sentence.

And I was like, oh, okay.

Well, I guess maybe he goes, get a lawyer.

And I was like, okay, have a good day, Mr.

Green.

And it was like, this guy didn't work for me.

He worked against me.

He wasn't trying to find

an outcome.

And listen, I am not washing away the fact that I was also drinking and driving.

I was drinking and driving.

I should have been punished.

And I was punished.

And by the way, I got a lawyer.

It cost me $2,000.

Still, the same shit happened that when it happened anyway, it's not like anything different happened.

I just had to pay a lawyer a bunch of money.

But at the end of the day, like the solicitor is there to represent the people, quote unquote, which means the people against you.

All of a sudden, your people are now against you.

How does that work?

Well, you needed to be off the streets.

I did.

Well,

eventually I did get off the streets.

Eventually, they found a way to get me off the streets for a period of time.

So, what else?

Wonk, wonk.

All right, so it's Wednesday.

We hope you enjoyed our bonus episodes of Rally LA.

Text us 212-433-3 TCB.

You can find those bonus episodes.

Just go, they're out there.

So go listen to them.

Also, I just wanted to say one thing real quick before we end this first segment.

We decided to put a disclaimer on our video,

on our video breakdown of Paulie.

couch cushions last Friday.

I want to share two things.

Number one, we got a number of text messages of people who said, thank you for being empathetic and not, you know, kicking somebody while they're down.

I want to be absolutely clear about something so that in case Pauly Couch Cushions or anybody else is watching this that knows him, we don't know that this is the case.

We suspect this is the case.

This is alleged.

It's very bizarre.

It's very bizarre.

We have no knowledge of whether we didn't see him doing any drugs.

We didn't see any of that stuff.

I just want to make that clear because I don't want anybody to think like we have some inside track.

No, it's just very strange to watch a video of somebody falling asleep.

Nodding out.

Yeah.

It's falling asleep and nodding out two different things.

Nodding out.

And number two, I think we did make the right call, bailing on that video and then putting the disclaimer at the beginning of the episode.

yeah, I felt weird after a while.

I was like,

Yeah, that just wasn't funny.

It wasn't a bad situation.

No, it wasn't funny.

No, it wasn't funny because how do you make fun of someone who's who may or may not have a problem, but seems like they do?

And then making fun of them doesn't feel like the most, the best use of our time.

If Paulie was just being Paulie, like he has in other videos, then continue onward.

And you put it out there in YouTube, it's fair game, right?

Including us.

People make fun of us too.

So, fair game.

People do breakdowns of us.

I have never seen someone do a breakdown of us, but I know for a fact that one podcast has talked about us.

Okay.

And their whole purpose in life is to talk about terrible podcasts.

Oh, good.

The good news is it's a terrible podcast.

So no one listens to it.

It really is pretty bad.

And someone alerted me to it.

They were like, well, dot, dot, dot podcast is going to love this.

And I was like, what is dot dot dot podcast?

You know, I'm not saying their actual name, but what is that?

And so I go, I look through it, I don't find our name.

A couple weeks later, we get another comment, very similar.

I go back, stuffed in the middle of an episode somewhere, not in the show notes or anything, they start talking about our show.

And they're like, you're one of the worst media, you're one of the worst improv comedy podcasts out there.

It's commercial brains.

I love it.

Fucking morons.

Blah, blah, blah.

Not funny, uninteresting, old, boring.

I don't know why I love it, but I'll do.

I love it too.

Listen, I'll take any impress I can get.

Number one.

Number two, if you think for one second, dot dot dot podcast, that that's not stuff we hear from our own family.

Yes, yes,

listeners and family.

If you don't think I say that to myself every night before I go to bed, you're just an idiot.

All right, so let's do this.

Let's take a break and then we'll come back and we'll talk more.

It's a Wednesday when we're releasing this.

It's a Wednesday.

We'll get through it together.

You know what I'm saying, Chrissy?

Hop day.

Or we won't get through it.

We'll hop it.

Together, too.

That's right.

Okay, we'll be back.

This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.

I'm out on our little break.

I'm over at the local coffee shop and I'm talking to one of the people behind the counter.

They say, I want to start my own podcast.

To which I reply, you already have more listeners than we do.

But their question to me was, what do I need in order to launch a podcast?

Three things: a microphone, an idea, and a website.

And our good friends at Squarespace, they have the all-in-one website platform designed to help you stand out and succeed online.

Whether Whether you're creating content, selling something, offering a service, or just want to keep people informed about your comings and goings.

You can build your website, grow your brand, and get paid all in one place.

And if a website is a building block of a business, what's the building blocks of the website?

Two things, in my opinion.

Number one, design.

You got to have a good-looking design.

And Squarespace has a collection of cutting-edge design tools that anyone can use to build a website that fits your brand perfectly.

Number two, building block, you have to be found.

As I've often said about podcasting, podcasting, if you want to be heard, you have to get found.

No different out there on the World Wide Web and search engine optimization is the key to doing that.

I was watching this video last night.

It's fucking insane.

Listen to this.

Are you eating sweet tarts?

I am.

You want one?

Yes.

I knew it.

I knew I'd get you eventually.

Sweet tarts are so good.

I can't believe I forgot about these things for years.

And then all of a sudden, I get them.

Oh, you got purple.

That's really good.

It's really good.

It is good.

Yeah.

Some of them are soft and some are hard.

So be careful with your teeth.

Some of them like you can just bite down on and they just kind of melt away.

And then others are like,

I guess it depends on what flavor or how they're.

I've never had a sweet tartan forever.

They're so good.

They used to make them like, they would have flavors, they'd come in the little packages, right?

And they'd be a little bit smaller.

And they used to come in like root beer flavor, peps, you know, cherry soda.

Now I just find the regular lemon, lime, purple, grape, whatever.

Anyway, it's good.

It's awesome.

Okay.

I'm going down a YouTube rabbit hole last night before I go to bed, and I stumbled upon a video that this, and this is not the first time I have heard of this, but they're doing a breakdown on a company out in California run by a very apparently smart and well-to-do entrepreneur who spent a lot of time working on the biodome and how food

interacts with the biodome and the enzymes and your gut and the gut bacteria.

He's like the world's

preeminent expert on all of this stuff, young guy, like 39, 40 years old.

And he's now on his third company.

And his third company has got like a billion dollars in funding they're doing all kind of crazy stuff with food and how it works and you know did you say biodome the the bio no no not biodome yeah i think it's biome or something the biome you're right yeah i think you're right or biodome which was a great movie by paulie i was thinking

i was thinking of that remember that experiment where all the people went into the dome and tried to live i do there's a movie called biodome but then there was an actual biodome that was based on the movie BioDome starring Pauli Shore.

And I think Stephen Baldwin.

Wasn't it Stephen Baldwin?

Probably.

Oh, my God.

I watched Pauli Shore on Joe Rogan.

I don't watch Rogan a lot, but occasionally I'll catch a clip.

It was Pauli Shore going through his repertoire of movies and how...

He was hot for a while.

I told you, one of the first, actually the first stand-up comedy show I ever went to was a Pauly Shore concert, and he borrowed a camel light from me.

That's right.

And I was like 13 years old.

But I don't think he ever smoked it.

He just borrowed it from me.

I don't know what was.

Yeah, he was very nice.

He was backstage.

One of my friends' moms is like the ticket manager of the,

I don't know, I forgot what it was called at the time.

Now it's

that little tiny theater that's over there on West Peachtree.

You know what I'm talking about?

The one that's like in a bowl.

It's like, anyway, whatever.

Okay.

The center stage?

Center stage theater.

That's right.

Okay, so I'm now now damn.

Good job, Chrissy.

Of the two brains, one of them is working.

So together we have a half a brain working.

Negative plus positive equals negative.

I don't know how that works.

That's good.

DCB minus.

DCB minus.

Coming right up.

So I'm watching this video.

They're doing this breakdown of this guy.

I don't know where this is going, but I'm interested in, like, they're talking about the guy and the things that he's done and the companies that he started and what they've done.

New preservatives.

He's like the Chevy Chase of real life.

Yeah, right.

He's making food preservatives and additives and figuring it all out.

And he has just been given a pile of money.

And I mean a pile of money by the fast food companies, by Kellogg's, by the company Frito-Lay,

and other food companies together as they work in an association.

That association has billions of dollars that they use to lobby

to market and all that stuff.

All processed foods told us.

That's right.

Yes.

They have now come up with, he has come up with, this company has come up with, and then other companies that are smaller than this have come up with GLP1 blocking foods.

So now they have found a way to usurp the GLP

enzyme that is helping people lose weight, get healthier, because Walmart, fast food companies of all brands and varieties,

cake companies, donut companies, all of them have all noticed a decrease in sales

since GLP ones have come on the market.

They're eating less.

They're eating less.

Much less.

Walmart, I think, had like a 7% drop and what they called like the, it's processed foods.

I don't know what they call it in the store, but it's processed foods.

It kind of come in bags and cans and boxes, you know, stuff that's like not organically grown, but a 7% decrease in sales in just the last two years alone.

That's huge.

dollars for a company like Walmart.

So GLP ones are making everybody healthier in general, right?

I mean, mean, that's not good for everybody, but for most people, you lose a little bit of weight, you feel better about yourself, you're not eating as many processed foods, you're not carrying as much weight, so life is a little bit shinier.

And that's a good thing, in my opinion.

I don't take you to GOP1s, but I have to imagine that those who do feel better about themselves in general, even if it makes you feel better mentally, I think then that it's a plus, right?

Yeah, mentally and physically.

Correct.

But

the fast food companies and the makers of highly processed foods are finding a way to get into your gut regardless.

And I cannot imagine that a GLP-1 blocking already processed food that has additional additives to go around the GLP-1s is then additionally healthy in any way, shape, or form.

It's got to be much worse for you because now it's usurping the blockers that are telling you that you're full and it's doing its intended purpose, which is to continue,

is to continue making you more hungry.

Remember when that guy, Morgan, whatever his name was, did that Super Size Me?

Yeah, I don't think it was it, Morgan?

Yeah.

Okay.

His first name is Morgan, and I can't remember his last name.

But he did that Super Size Me and everybody watched it.

It's a cultural phenomenon.

We all watched it because Morgan ate Big Macs for 30 days in a row.

Yeah, McDonald's every day.

Yeah.

And then he did his.

He did the green juice stuff, right?

Didn't he have a follow-up with the, where he did all the juice?

May have.

Yeah, it might have been Super Size Me 2.

Well, I think it was like Unsize Me or something like that, where he did the reverse.

I want to get his name here.

Super.

I want to call him.

I want to call him Morgan Spurlock.

That's right.

Okay, so Morgan Spurlock.

If you haven't seen this movie, I don't know where you've been, but if you haven't seen this movie, it's 30 years.

It was out a long time ago.

2004, I think, 2003, 2004.

Morgan Spurlock decides he's going going to go do a little experiment.

He's going to bring a doctor and a couple scientists along.

And what they're going to do is he's going to eat nothing but McDonald's for 30 days, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

He has these rules.

He's got to have at least one meal and the breakfast, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And anytime they ask, do you want that supersized?

He has to say yes.

And he has to get the supersized and he has to finish that.

And he becomes incredibly unhealthy in a very short amount of time.

He's getting like 20 pounds in one month or something.

It was insane.

Yeah, it was insane.

Like you can see the physical transformation, obviously.

And also, his blood pressure goes through the roof.

His cholesterol goes through the roof.

He's like pre-diabetes.

Pre-diabetes.

He gets fatty liver syndrome.

Like, he gets all kinds of sick.

And all these doctors that are watching him.

But one of the things that's always stuck with me about that movie is that there was a

scientist on there, and backed up by Morgan's own conversation that no matter how much McDonald's I have, I am always left hungry an hour and a half later.

Empty calories.

Empty calories.

And this scientist, this food scientist was like, it's designed to do that.

It's not nutritious.

It's not filling you up in any way.

So your body is still craving additional sustenance.

And that's why you feel hungry again.

Your body's telling you, I need more.

And so you can eat McDonald's till you're blue in the face.

It's likely you're just going to continue to eat McDonald's, but you're blue in the face.

And that's what these GLP1 blockers are doing yet again.

They're trying to make you more hungry on empty calories.

And it's insane that we here in the United States allow this to happen.

That doesn't happen in any other country.

Did you know that?

Yes.

It's a fucking insane.

There's a lot more restrictions in other countries.

But I know I'm confused though, so break this down a little bit more.

So the GLP-1 foods are like, for example, chips or something, Fritos.

So you get the Fritos and by eating the Fritos, it makes you less hungry?

No.

So

when you, so I don't know, but what I understand, the GLP one.

Or is it the foods for if people are taking

the people who are people who are taking

that, yeah, I've seen that where it's like nutrition for you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Let me explain.

So people who take GLP ones apparently are less hungry in general, right?

Also, because they're probably on a kick, are eating healthier foods.

Yes.

Right.

They're eating less of, and they're probably eating less.

Because if you're not starving, you're not going to go grab the easiest, quickest thing, which is McDonald's or is chips or what?

It's not fast.

Okay.

Yeah.

You want to like make a healthy salad or a smoothie or something.

So

what

the food companies are doing is they are targeting the GLP-1 enzyme and they are blocking it so that the intended effect of the GLP-1 does not work.

Oh, yes.

I see what you're saying.

And they are going to start

putting that in their food.

They're reversing it.

They're blocking the blockers.

They're blocking the blockers.

Oh, my God.

Which is insane.

Yeah, that's crazy.

So then you do eat more of their food.

You do feel more hungry after you eat their food.

It's insane.

I've seen the foods where it's like, you know, GLP-1 is supposed to replace some kind of nutrients that you might not be getting because of the GLP-1 blockers.

So these fucking rap bastards are out there.

Blocking the blockers.

You're cock blocking the cock block.

That's insane.

If I want my cock blocked, I want my cock blocked.

Get out of the way.

What are you doing?

You're doing this.

No other country in the world would let this happen.

When you go to Spain and you get a cheeseburger from McDonald's, I don't know what it is.

I don't know what it is.

A royale with cheese, Chrissy.

When you get a royal with cheese, it tastes different.

Do you want to know why?

Because it's not all coming from the same fucking meat plant in the middle of Wisconsin or wherever they're coming from.

The French fries are actually French fried potatoes and

they have something besides the fucking happy Shitorita milkshake for you to have to drink.

It's different.

They don't give you seven gallons gallons of Coca-Cola.

They give you these tiny little cups.

It's insane because the government of Spain, not that I want the government all up in my bullshit, but the government of Spain says if we're going to help our citizens make educated choices, let's make sure they have good choices to make.

And I can't disagree with, I mean, I thought.

Well, it's in the best interest of the government, I feel like, to have everybody be healthy, a healthy

healthy people that live long.

Of course,

a healthy population.

Yeah, not everything about Spain is wonderful.

And I don't agree with high taxes and, you know, all up in your business.

I don't agree with all that.

But it's just weird that our companies have so much influence over

the lives that we live that they can be in secretly meeting with evil food additive guys to make shit to make

cock shrink.

Yes.

I didn't know Chevy Chase was such an evil guy.

Actually, I might have.

But anyway, you get it.

Unbelievable.

Let me give you an example.

I'm going to give you an example, Chrissy, that has nothing to do with food.

You ready?

Yes.

Yesterday, the Australian government, government, in an effort to keep the heads on the shoulders of human beings, decided to make it illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to put YouTube on their phone.

So now YouTube has to age verify everybody under the age of 16 years old.

Good for

you.

Australia.

Australia, good.

Good.

Yes.

You.

If you are a parent of any child under the age of 16 years old, then you will know that YouTube is basically the devil.

Also to podcasters who don't have big audiences, but also to children.

That's true.

My little nephew, who's like seven, was totally found some YouTube channel with people doing dumb stuff.

And yeah.

Unaliving themselves and all kind of weird shit.

No, not unaliving themselves, but doing weird pranks and whatever.

It was too much for a seven-year-old.

I have a friend.

I won't mention who.

They became a principal of a school recently.

They're like a highfalutin principal.

They're an in-demand principal.

So they move from school to school after every school.

Floating principal.

Yes.

They do a good job.

So the people want them to come over and, hey, this school might need some help.

Turn around.

Yeah, turnaround kind of principal person.

Turn around principal.

I've known people like that that are car dealership people.

But, anyways, guys.

I used to do that at Chili's or waiters.

You did.

I did.

You turn around the store.

I think Brian was reliable for anything is unbelievable.

I think they just.

The kids' margarita sales just went way.

Rochambeau, baby.

Rochambeau.

Give me a kid's reader.

Fired in.

Yeah, it's got nothing in it.

A kid's read up.

5.30.

Time for a kids read.

It could be 12.30.

It was time for a kid's reada.

It depends on what time I shift at.

Exactly.

Kids Rita, by the way.

Kids Rita.

Kids Rita right now.

I know.

Maybe we'll call Deep.

Uh, kids Rita, by the way, was uh, we had a drug dealer that worked behind the bar, and he would put a gram of cocaine in a kid's cup,

and he would ask for a kid's Rita.

There'd be nothing in it, and there'd just be a bunch of cups being passed in for.

Oh, my God, the things that were going on there, you couldn't get away with it.

Everybody should work in a restaurant.

I'm telling you, nobody should work in a restaurant.

I know, I know.

Okay, this lady, principal person, lady, principal turnaround, personal lady, whatever.

she got called to a school two years ago.

It was a middle school.

And when she gets to the middle school, she assesses what's going on.

And she can't believe that basically every classroom is being disrupted by disruptive children.

And those disruptive, because the school has a policy that children are not only allowed to have cell phones, but they can have them out.

So that if their parents ever need to get a hold of them, they can communicate.

So some teachers had instituted policies where you have to keep your phones in your bag while you're there, but it it wasn't uniform.

It wasn't across the school.

And it was just basically destroying the school.

Kids were not paying attention.

They were disruptive.

They would act out when they weren't able to get to their phones or play their games or communicate with their friends on WhatsApp or whatever.

It was a dopamine.

So after some long, hard thinking about it, she decided as the principal, the phones must be in a bag or in your pocket.

They are never allowed out of your pocket, not even in the hallways, unless it's an emergency and your parents need to get a hold of you or you need to get a hold of them.

That's the only reason why, right?

And you can understand in 2025, parents almost like having a phone on the child so that if something happens, yeah,

turn around in the school within six months.

And some of the children even apparently went to her and said, thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Because less bullying,

less distraction.

Yes.

So now she's gotten called to another school.

Guess what?

The first thing she's doing is taking away those phones.

Now, listen, I may sound like an old, like, you know, hey, boomer, shut up.

You know, and first of all, I'm not a boomer.

Second of all,

I think we can all see that this is just no fucking bueno, right?

To have our kids glued to these screens all the time with constant dopamine.

Yes.

The food is the exact, the food is the OG dopamine hit.

That's what it is.

Watch one episode of my 600 pound life, and you'll understand why we shouldn't allow the GLP blockers to block the blockers.

That's it.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

We shouldn't.

We shouldn't allow that.

It should not be allowed.

We should not be able to put

food additives and preservatives in the market.

That's wild, but I can see as a business,

they're out for profit.

This guy got like a $400 million grant from this.

It was

a stand to create it, to continue his research and create it.

He already created it, but to make it better, to

have it be applicable to more foods and more things.

And so now I can see it right now.

The Mickey D's, you know, BL,

I don't know, GLP blocker, the Mickey D's

Big Mac blocker, you know, the Big Blocker, Big Mac.

Big MacBook.

Wait, so they're not going to market it like that, though.

It's just going to happen.

Right.

You just order the Big Mac

and think you're only going to eat half, but you end up eating the whole thing.

You mean the whole thing?

Blocked.

That's right, blockers are being blocked.

And then you're going to go back up there.

Let me get a quarter pounder, right?

And then

another cheeseburger.

I've seen it happen.

I've had it happen to me a couple of times.

I have literally walked into a taco bell.

Look at me.

I'm not that big, right?

I've walked into a taco bell and I've said, give me 12 soft shell tacos with sour cream.

After smoking a bunch of weed, yeah.

No, just like Tuesday.

Just like on Tuesday, I swear to God.

And I leave and I got a belly full of food, but I don't feel full.

And then I'm here and Astrid will make me, you know, tequenos or a reina pepiado or whatever it is.

She makes me something wonderful and beautiful that's fresh from scratch.

She makes that for me and I can't walk for an, I look like Polly couch cushions nodding out at the studio.

I know.

I love to cook.

So yeah,

I enjoy fresh foods.

I'm not a big RFK guy.

No.

You know, but his

war on processed foods,

I ultra, ultra processed foods.

I will call out good things when I yeah, exactly.

So I have to to say, I think that's a good thing.

Listen, I

fruits and vegetables.

Nobody wants to hear that.

Nobody wants to actually do it.

But when you do it, you feel better.

You always feel better.

Always feel better.

But it's like anything.

You got to rewire your brain.

It takes five days to get used to something.

It takes another five days to start building new neurons.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away is a good, it's a cliche.

It's an old saying, but it's true.

That's right.

So, all right.

Anyway, keep your eyes out there, kids.

There's a lot of shitty things that are happening.

And, you know,

buy Trump coin.

That's all I got to say.

Melania Coin.

I saw something about the coin thing today.

I've got to show you.

Melania coin.

It's down 96% from the day that it came out.

But buy it.

It's a great investment.

Say no.

Say no.

Just say no.

All right.

We'll take a break.

We'll be back.

Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB.

Level up your fit, your shelf, and your impact.

Yeah, that's how it works.

We're just reading about Sheen.

Why is it such a popular thing?

It's popular because they pay a lot of influencers to

marketing and influencers to wear their stuff.

But it's really

fast fashion, too, which I thought, according to the Gen Z people I know, that that's kind of not good.

They like to do a lot of recycling.

Yeah.

Drifting and things to help the planet.

Yeah, but I think once, you know, we're such cheap that like, you know, once one person does it, the next person does it.

Look at that little boo-boo fed.

I mean, honestly.

That's not cheap.

It's a fucking doll.

They are kind of cheap.

They're like $27 for a box if you can find them.

Oh, they are?

Yeah, they're $27.

Oh, they were going for like thousands of dollars.

They are once they're opened.

Once they're opened, and they get the special magic, you know, secret fucking little boo-boo fad.

Yeah, the one that bites your neck at night.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Razor teeth.

Little razor teeth.

I mean, listen, okay, yeah, I could see other cute and you like it and it's fluffy and whatever.

I get it.

But and $27, not a bad price to pay if you want to walk in.

And I've bought, certainly spent a lot more money on stupider stuff like Pearl Jam posters and Dick Tracy material.

But at the end of the day, I mean, everybody now is on the bandwagon.

I don't think everybody thinks these things are a must-have.

I think everybody thinks everybody else thinks they're a-here.

It's a baby baby of the now.

It really is.

And remember.

All those big collectible booms and busts happen right around and right before the economy takes a shit.

So, Sheen is probably just another example of people who don't have a lot of people who feel like, I mean, I'm sure a lot of people, a lot of those people have money.

I'm not saying everybody who shops at Sheen is irresponsible with money, but the fact remains, most Americans don't have large savings accounts.

Raise your hand in the room, right?

Okay, me too.

Yes, we're not part of the, remember, we're not part of the 3% prof G.

It doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon.

So, here's

our merch fast passion.

what's that is our merch fast fashion no no it's quality it's quality yes

i mean it's podcast merch i'm not saying it's the best quality you've ever seen but it is good quality

quality yes it's good quality we went to a ice cream shop the other day astronaut and i did and they had some merch out there and the merch was like it was the super softest

loveliest t-shirts ever and i was like wow this is really really nice merch but of course you're gonna pay a hundred and ten dollars for something like that and that's just like you got a balance between you know good quality and the right price so anyway I wanted to say that I am really it's rush season yes it is I'm really so Alabama rush has now led me down the rabbit hole and now I follow this guy all of them the guy do you know the guy you talked about the guy the guy that like helps people get through oh no that's Ferda no

he has a nickname his name is Ferda Now there's like a podcast.

This is a guy who helps people at guys at Alabama get into fraternities.

He's a fraternity consultant.

He's my age, and he's running around with girls that are 20 years old, drinking at the bars.

Listen,

I guess it's good work if you can get it.

You know what I'm saying?

I don't know what else to say.

I'd like to say,

actually,

I would call it out if I thought it was totally creepy.

I think it's weird, but I actually don't see anything creeper-creeperson going on, right?

He's not like taking pictures of girls, you know, with low hats.

I came back to my college days and the older men that used to hang out.

Yeah, they're all over the place.

The townies, the guys who live in the town are always at the bars hanging out.

You know, they're just trying to relive their youth.

Some people get stuck, and it doesn't always mean you're nefarious.

It just means you're stuck.

You're just stuck, right?

Or you happen to live in the town.

You're a professor.

You're a groundskeeper.

I don't know.

Whatever.

It's not always nefarious purposes, but let's be real about it.

You're a real estate agent.

Yeah, you're a real estate agent.

I like your real estate, honey.

Can I buy that plot?

I think all these guys were real estate agents now that I'm thinking about it.

Groundskeeper.

I want to mow your lawn.

Can I stick my hose in your bush?

Yeah, that's nefarious.

Okay, that's nefarious.

I mean, let's be real about it, right?

You're a 40-something, 50-something-year-old man, and you're hanging around 20-something-year-old men and women.

Like, you know okay there's opportunity there for it to get creepy creeper so you just got to be careful i just keeping it above it seemed on his instagram above i haven't seen anything that i that has made me go

but there is a guy you know all of the sororities now they have to put together a hype video A hype video is it's the beginning of the rush season.

They're all dancing, you know, air drone shots, you know, them on a cat, like a cow girl on a cow poke.

I don't know, all this other shit.

They have to pick the song.

We're going throw back to the 80s, throw back to the 90s.

Every sorority in America is making a hype video.

And there is a guy who,

I assume, a gay man, because he talks about his partner, who has sunglasses on and a hat, and he will put his face in front of the hype video and he'll do a breakdown of the video, give them a grade.

Never makes fun of them.

I like this.

I like this.

He's not making fun of them.

He's just saying, you know, oh, that's great dance.

Okay, girl in the back.

You're not doing so good.

He's sometimes, but he's real and he's not beating anybody while they're down.

So I followed him.

So now Instagram is serving me up every hype video in America from West Kentucky DeVry University to Alabama to the University of Georgia to South Georgia, all of them.

I'm just getting like all of these hype videos now.

And

I didn't want to go that far down the rabbit hole.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, okay.

Abama Rush was an interesting documentary, and this guy is interesting talking about it.

But I didn't want to go that far down the rabbit hole.

But here's what I have to say: the girls always, the girls who are rushing these sororities, they come with me on my first day of rush, check out my fit, you know?

And so they'll sit in front of the mirror and they'll show you what's in their pocketbook, what they're bringing to the rush day, what they're doing.

They'll talk about their outfit.

You know, this is Sheen and this is, you know, Carolina Herrera, and these are, you know, Babelagoosi Gassis or whatever.

And they'll do the whole thing.

There was a girl, a lover.

She's a black girl, she's a teacher, she gets in front, just like that guy does.

She gets in front of all those, check out my fit videos, and she will break it down.

She makes a list of how much everything is.

So, you know, the girl says,

How much it costs?

She'll be like, My bracelets are Farragama, whatever.

And she'll go, she'll stop the video real quick.

Faragama, found the bracelet, $300, but you can get it on Amazon for $30, right?

And so she lists out how much these outfits cost.

And then, if she can, she finds alternatives.

And then also, she will say, if you use my Amazon links, I get a little bit of money.

And then additionally, I'm a teacher and I have a teacher wish list.

This girl has hundreds of thousands of followers.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

That's a good idea.

No, no, no, no.

But I think that's a fantastic idea.

And it goes towards her like supplies for the classroom and stuff.

Yes.

I've been watching this girl for two years when nobody was.

I'm not saying that makes me cool.

I'm just saying her stuff started coming up on my Instagram when there was like 100 likes.

Now there's hundreds of thousands of likes on some of these videos.

And I love her.

I think she's great.

And I think she's the fact that she at the end not only pitches for her own Amazon links, you go, girl, do it because she's giving somebody an actual service.

She's saying, you want to look like her, you can do it for much cheaper.

Here you go.

But then she's also helping to put new supplies into her classroom when you know for a fucking fact that none of these teachers are getting paid and it's going to get worse by the day.

It's getting worse by the minute.

The fucking wife of the head of the WWE is our education secretary.

Fuck you.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Anyway, this girl is awesome.

That's what's going to come of all of this.

I mean, it's just going to be grassroots stuff, people helping people.

People are brands.

We are all now a brand.

And

everything we ever did is ever and ever did is going to be known about us, whether we like it or not.

Everything we ever buy, everything we ever do, every transaction we ever make is going to be known about us.

So if you're going to do something unless you just completely go off the grid which i quite frankly is think think is almost impossible now but okay maybe it is the reality is is that if you're going to do something do some good along the way true look at this young lady she is young i imagine 22 23 she's a second year teacher so maybe she's 24 25 years old she's entertaining she knows what she's doing She doesn't ever get snarky about it.

She's just breaking it down.

And then she

got the Riz.

Yeah, she got the Riz and she wants to make a little bit of money on it in hundreds of thousands of people of her videos.

I love this.

I wish I could find this girl's name.

I'm not going to be able to.

Hold on one second.

I mean, people make hundreds of thousands of dollars doing other crazy things, so might as well put it to some good.

Absolutely.

Do your girls, did your girls rush?

I can't remember.

They did.

They did.

Okay.

Oh, here she is.

Destiny Marais.

I think that's Destiny Marais.

Let me see.

I want to make sure.

Okay, so Bama Rush is right around the corner.

Yes.

But they didn't rush.

It wasn't all this crazy stuff.

No, this is insane.

The other thing that when I'm watching these videos, first I'm like, you know, go Destiny, do your thing.

First of all, second of all, then I'm like, holy shit.

Do I have

this girl's wearing a $25,000 outfit

to go get sprayed with stale beer and roll around in the mud waiting to get a bid on a rush?

You got to be kidding me.

you got to be kidding me I think that's a small subsection but

Destiny's got 300,000 videos she's got

uh she's got 20 million likes that's great go

see

this is so cute and one also for $95 marks

yeah I love this

count to two so she'll do that these cursors

yeah I know that's crazy what are we gonna do

What are we going to do when my girls get this old?

How are we going to pay for it, Chris?

Yeah.

How are we going to pay for my girls to go to university and rush?

I'm going to say, girls, college is way overrated.

Look at your dad.

He didn't do any college, and he turned out just fine.

Well, I did do college, and my parents said to me, if you would like to rush, that's so great.

We'll support you, but

you have to pay for it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I said, oh, well, well, there it is.

Going to work at a restaurant, get sexually harassed by old men and do cocaine off the heck of the barn.

I was like, Maybe I don't need it.

Hey, listen, each to each their own, you know what I'm saying?

And it's a great experience for a lot of people.

No, I,

but

I think there's a go-overboard point.

Yeah.

The only time I ever stepped foot in this, well, two times, I stepped foot in a fraternity and got kicked out

because we were roaming the halls of of a party in our late 20s.

Anyway, and then number two, I got asked on one of those days where they wrap your, they put a blindfold on you.

I ended up stepping on the sorority seal.

Oh,

you definitely created.

I did.

I straight up took a shit off.

I stepped on it in a whole room full of drinks.

Exactly.

How am I going to know?

I work at Chili's.

I drink kids' margaritas for breakfast.

How am I supposed to know?

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ideos meals.

Ideal meal.

Oh, I'm not saying it right.

Ideal meal.

Ideal meal.

Well, it's ideal's meal, but

the S can be a little silent there if you want to get super vernacular.

Ideal meal.

I'm Brian.

I, Brian.

By the way, put out another Venezuelan reel.

Got another 4,000 followers.

That's all that.

It's insane.

The Venezuelans love us.

So, pretty soon, once a week, we're going to do anek in Venezuela.

Brian's going to find a new way to offend a whole nother subset of human beings.

I've offended the Americans.

Now I got to go down to the Venezuelans.

No, ideal meal.

I Brian, welcome aboard.

I Brian.

Oh, wait until I tell you the tomorrow.

I'll tell you a story about an iBrian story.

I can't wait.
