Hi, TCB.

I just want to say I love your guys's podcast so much.

It's making my drive to work very pleasant.

And like, I'm not going to bash my head into the steering wheel anymore.

Anyway, I do have a little story for you guys that I think you guys will find interesting.

It was this guy that was about to go to college.

And basically, he's an incel, which means involuntary celibacy.

So basically, what he thinks is that it's not his fault that he's celibate, but the woman's fault.

And it's this huge, weird ass, horrible community of misogynistic men.

It's crazy.

If you guys look it up, it's really an insane read.

You wish is my command.

Top shelf Zaza disrupted my circadian rhythm.

I have seen the Magna Carta.

I've seen the Eye of Horror.

I was flipping bricks for Manza Musa before y'all even became a type 1 civilization.

On this episode of the Commercial Brick,

she paid Keddie.

She paid Lenny Gaga $10 million.

Lenny Gaga?

Who's Lenny Gaga?

Lady Gaga's brother.

Hey, I'm a little monster too, but it's

right.

Of the Lagagas.

I'm Lenny.

I'm Lenny Gaga.

I thought it said Lady Gaga.

No, Joe called me.

He said you needed Lenny Gaga.

I'm Lenny.

To show up and say something nice about her.

You see the lies behind the scenes?

You see the lies?

Because I just told you

I'm the Rachel Manauer,

Satanist turned podcast guest.

The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

Oh, yeah, cats 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 Holy.

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're back in our own studio, my daughter's repurposed bedroom.

It's a little comfortable nest.

It's a little tree of trust here.

It does feel good to be back in the tree of trust.

We were at the, of course, at the Audikiss.

You listened to the episode yesterday.

We were at the Odyssey Studios.

Yesterday, we were at the Odyssey Studios.

And what a delightful experience, honestly, all around.

Oh, is something going?

Oh,

I want to play something in a second and it's just on repeat.

I'm sorry.

Chrissy's like, what is that noise?

I was like, there's something extra happening.

You know, how did you even hear that when i came usually i'm the one with like the spidey ears the spidey senses but you got it thank you very much my instagram was going in the background um yeah so that was so fun it was so fun

such a great time and i hope that we get to do more of that with odyssey everybody there was perfectly lovely tina and astrid were there we interviewed a young lady named courtney michelle who is an online uh influencer like comedian influencer she does comedy sketches on her instagram she does a little bit of stand-up comedy she has a one-woman comedy show you'll hear more about that in a couple weeks when we release the interview.

But then she's an actress and all that other stuff.

But she could not have been more wonderful.

But we get up there and it's like, you know, there's a whole process to getting a guest on.

And then you throw in the fact that you got to do in-person, which we have never done.

Yeah, she was our first.

And you'll never forget your first.

And you got to remember, you got to think about all the things.

Like, should we bring things for them to drink and to eat?

How do they get into the building?

Where do they park?

Are they coming via limousine?

Do we have to arrange the limousine?

No, luckily, we didn't.

Courtney was very self-sustaining in the sense that, no, I'm going to drive there.

But then she gets there, and we told her day of contact, which means person you contact in case you need something, is Astrid.

So just text Astrid and she'll come get you from downstairs, which is securitized.

Like, you can't just get upstairs on your own.

Odyssey is a very important place, and they have many steps in security.

I just want you to know that you could never get in there and do harm to anybody, except for the commercial break.

So, um, which they left the doors wide open, they did.

So,

Courtney texts Astra and is like, Hey, I'm here.

I don't know really where I am, but I'm here.

I'm at the place.

And I go downstairs with a guy named Slim, who was like our guy, our liaison, our tech guy over at Odyssey.

And I go downstairs, and I can see Courtney like leaning up against like an elevator shaft, like a wall that has an elevator on it.

I can see her very distinct blonde hair.

So, I know it's her.

She's the the only one in the entire room with blonde hair.

So I go up to her and I go, Courtney, I'm Brian.

Chrissy, I've never seen a woman so scared in my life to see me.

Usually that's, I get the opposite reaction from women.

They're like, oh, look at him.

He's special.

I see.

You take the short fuss here.

It's like, usually it's like a little, it's weird, but she looked honestly terrified.

And she was like, I'm expecting a woman.

And I was like, I could be a woman.

You never know.

I could be a woman.

Yeah, when you came back up and said that, I was like, probably she was just being cautious about coming into an elevator with two men.

Well, then I did.

Instead of the woman that she was told would be there.

As a man, these are not things I have to think about.

But as a woman, I'm sure these are things you do have to think about.

Like, you know, I'm not necessarily worried about two men coming and getting me in an elevator

because no one wants me.

Man nor woman wants to take me in that way.

That's not going to happen.

I have two things

going for me, I guess.

Number one is I'm a man.

Number two is I'm not a particularly, you know, I don't smell good.

I don't look good.

I don't dress nice.

So, but yeah, I think she was a little nervous about getting in the elevator.

She needed proof.

She wanted a secret coach.

Yeah, well, she's a beautiful girl, too.

So, you know, when you

kind of keep these things in the back of your mind.

Plus, she lived in Miami at one point.

I mean, that can be a little.

Anytime you live in Miami, you look at the world in a whole different way.

Anytime you live in

is it Miami?

Oh, yeah, L.A.

and Miami.

The double whammy of could it be?

Could we be in the bad part of town?

Yeah, you learn to be cautious.

L.A.

and Miami, just like a lot of other big cities, probably Atlanta included.

I've always described Atlanta as a tale of two streets.

You can be on one street, and

there will be the largest house you have ever seen in your entire life, beautifully manicured, delicious in all ways, multiple Mercedes-Benz and Ferraris sitting out front.

And you, and there are thousands of these houses in Atlanta.

It's a very rich town in some places.

And you wonder to yourself, where did all this money come from and who are these people?

And then you can literally turn the corner 160 feet away.

And you can like now you're in fear of your life.

That's just the way that it is in Atlanta.

It's like that in a lot of cities.

It is.

It is.

Memphis can be the same way.

Yes.

But in Miami and Los Angeles, because they are gateway cities and so incredibly large with such huge populations, they have a literal smorgasbord of problems to deal with.

You could be in front of a multi-billion dollar condo building and get in trouble.

That's just the way that it is in Miami.

I think you just have to be a little extra cautious, like a lot of big cities, just like Atlanta.

But once you live in those two cities, I visit those two cities and I see the world in a different way for a lot of different reasons, being serious about that.

So I can only imagine if you live in those two cities, you do get a little,

you do get, you do have your ears wide open.

Yeah, you see see that.

When a strange man

two, two strange men you've never met.

Yes, when two strange men appear and say, come with me.

That's right.

I'm Brian,

the attention of Odyssey.

And then she goes, I go, I'm Brian.

Thanks for coming to the Odyssey studios.

And she goes, is Odyssey?

And I said, yes, Odyssey.

And she goes,

I'm supposed to be meeting Astrid.

And I go, oh, I'm Brian.

I'm the host of the show.

And she goes, oh, I'm so sorry.

I expected to meet a woman, Astrid.

And I said, well, Astrid is upstairs.

I came down here.

Just come with me, little girl.

Just come with me.

Everything will be fine.

Just in the car.

Here's some candy.

Here's some candy.

Yeah.

I've got a Chick-fil-A milkshake in the elevator.

Come on, come on, let's go.

So then we're riding up the elevator.

I think she's like relaxing a little bit when she realizes that, yes, I may in fact be the host of the podcast you're going to do an interview with.

And she goes, well, what's really weird is when you said, welcome to the Odyssey, thanks for joining us at the Odyssey Studios.

My management company is named Odyssey.

And I said, like, Odyssey, the company, she goes, I don't know if they spell them the same way, but it's a little weird that

I didn't know I was coming to the Odyssey Studios.

And then you said Odyssey.

And I thought for a minute

there was some kind of craziness going on.

So anyway, Courtney Michelle interview coming up in a couple of weeks.

We had a lovely time yesterday.

and I hope that we get to do more of it.

We'll see more info about that later on down the road, just in case we decide to do more of it.

And just in case at some point, we're alive.

You could fit 15, 20, 30 people in that room comfortably.

There were chairs and

a whole space for a little audience.

I'm not bringing everybody snacks and goodies.

So you're going to have to bring your own fucking food.

And trust me, there will be a security guard there to pat you fuckers down.

But I will say this, is we have some great interviews coming up.

And if the guest is open to the idea and if Odyssey is open to the idea, maybe we will allow a few people to come up there and listen to us record.

So I'm going to remind you: if you're in the Atlanta area, do not travel for this because our schedule changes frequently.

I will tell you that.

As any listener knows.

As any listener knows.

As a long time listener knows.

We could be doing a live show in Florida one day.

The next day it's canceled.

The day of it's canceled.

In the morning, you'll get a text message saying, sorry you traveled all the way to Miami, but we will not be there.

Um,

but this is the reason why I say Atlanta folks only are people within an hour driving, is because our schedule really does change frequently, and guest schedules change frequently.

That's true.

People are human, they have problems, and emergencies, and travel plans, and all that.

So, I don't want anybody going out of their way.

But if you're in the general area and you'd like to come to one of these shows, uh, not in the near future, but maybe in a month or two, 212-433-3TCB.

Text us, let us know, we'll put you on a list.

We already have a nice little list going.

Uh,

So, yeah.

Some, you know, some people are like, hi, Blan, I want to come to your Audison studio.

Weirdos do need not apply.

And you must be 18 or older.

I'll just put that there right now.

I've got to be responsible for children.

So, and not that you're a child.

I know that when you're 17, you're not a child.

And I know when you're 16, you're probably not.

Hell, I have seven-year-olds that are not children anymore, but I just don't want any kind of liability issues.

So be 18 or older.

You know what I'm saying?

Got back from Disney.

I'm not going to tell all the stories right now because I got a lot to get to.

Chrissy, we are chock full of stuff that I want to talk about this.

I can only imagine I've been waiting on bated breath.

Bated breath.

There's a needle.

A lot of it's not Disney related, but I will start off by saying this.

Our trip was wonderful, but it started off with a literal bang.

We left here the house.

We tried to get out the door as early as possible.

We said to ourselves, let's get out the door at 6 a.m., which means 9.30 when you have 70 children.

Yes.

But we did manage to get out of the door by 6:30.

So sun's just up, 6:30 in the morning, not a lot of traffic on the road.

But in Atlanta, not a lot of traffic means still there's traffic.

That's what it means.

Oh, yeah.

There's never not traffic in Atlanta.

You get two in the morning, you could get stuck in traffic.

But we get south of the city, and we're now in that three-lane 75-south stretch.

And then it goes down to two lanes.

And so that's like, I don't know, let's call it 50 miles outside of 40, 50 miles south of the city.

It's down to two lanes each way.

So now you've got assholes.

And I say assholes because there's no better way to describe somebody that's driving 55 in a 70 mile per hour zone in the left-hand lane, taking zero cues from anybody behind them.

Flashing lights, honking horns, truckers passing them on the right.

When a trucker is passing you on the right, you are going too fucking slow in the left-hand lane.

It's just the truth.

It's the law.

You have to move over.

So here, I'm behind this guy, and he's going 80 miles per hour, and I'm just behind him, just cruising.

And we're moving.

It's like when you find that, you know, that other car.

You find a partner.

You found a partner, yeah.

You find a partner.

You give them enough space so you know that you're not up their ass, right?

You follow them.

You don't try and, you're not trying to move around them.

You cut them off.

Yeah.

You know, if they need to get over, you let them over

in the lane.

Yeah, I like finding that partner.

Your little travel buddies.

You don't know who the fuck you are.

They could be international drug smugglers.

And I don't care.

They're driving nice, nice and i like that they got a good speed going they're moving safely from lane to lane moving around people it's like a little game of frogger we're just doing it all the way up the road so we're doing this for about 20 30 miles and then we hit the asshole who's going 67 miles per hour running up against the other person in the right-hand lane who's going 67 miles per hour.

And the two of them are little travel buddies too.

They're just driving right next to each other.

Cars backed up.

There's probably four or five cars in the right-hand lane, four or five cars in the left-hand lane.

And people start getting a little itchy after like six miles.

You know, the guy who's sitting right behind the dude who's going 67 gets a little itchy.

And so there's a little break.

He makes a move,

a little dangerous move, but he makes a from.

He goes around it and then over to the side

and he's gone, right?

So now it's me and my little travel buddy.

And we're right behind the 67 and we're kind of stuck.

We're stuck for like four or five miles.

So

finally, the car on the right-hand lane relents enough that my little travel buddy can get around on the right, on the right side, get around this car that's going slow.

Good.

So he, so he lane changes.

I wouldn't say it was like the safest lane change I've ever seen, but he wasn't going to kill anybody.

He was just darted over to the right and tries to make that move to go around the guy on the left.

And the guy on the left, going 67 miles per hour for almost 30 miles, speeds up.

Speeds up.

Speeds up

to almost 80 miles per hour.

What a jerk.

Now I'm behind the guy on the left hand, and I'm just, I'm going, and I'm like, I see what's going on.

And I know now the guy who's going 67 miles per hour was playing games the entire fucking time.

He knows how to go.

He knows how to put his foot on the pedal.

But he chose not to fucking piss everybody else off.

Or he was distracted driving.

I've seen that too.

People are on their phones.

And yeah, it's, it's, and all of a sudden then they realize, oh, shit.

Yes.

I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do.

I'm not doing it.

Speed up.

Whatever, whatever the case may be, it clearly looks like he's trying to block

my little buddy from getting back over.

It's fucking

terrible.

Let the restaurant hotel workers go.

The people who are fucking, you know,

cross an imaginary line in the sand, don't put them in these little prisons down with gators.

Put the guys who drive 67 miles per hour in the left-hand lane, put them in the gator, whatever, gator truck.

Elegator Alcatraz?

Yeah, elegator alcatrack.

Oh, God.

I can't even

get started on that.

So

I can see this all going on, and and I'm like, wow, but I back off.

I got kids in the car.

Yeah, yeah.

You're like, let's just see how this plays out.

I'm going to see how it plays out.

I'm not going to be a part of some shit.

And I'm giving a little distance now because I don't want to get it.

If these two Yahoos, my travel buddy, not a Yahoo, but now he's really trying to get around this guy.

And I'm afraid he's going to do something dangerous and cause an accident, right?

Yeah, you were given space to let him back in.

I was given space everywhere.

Yeah, yeah.

Now I'm just like back down at like 75 miles per hour, just watching it play out.

And finally, my little travel buddy gets around the guy, right?

He gets around the guy.

So now the guy backs down.

No.

Backs down to block us all in again.

Again.

But I'm not having it.

Before he can block me in, I jump to the right and I hit the paddle.

And I mean, I hit it.

And I hit it hard.

Before I know it, I'm going 90 miles per hour, but there's no one in front of me.

I mean, it's just clear as day, except my travel buddy is now like 16 miles ahead of me.

And I'm like, clear as day, just go in the right-hand lane and get away from this guy who's now speeding up to play games with me.

So I'm like, nope, not going to have it.

Go, go, go, go, go.

And I crest the hill and there he is, the Georgia State Patrol officer

that's been waiting for Brian the entire morning.

He just had his cup of coffee.

He took his shit in the local red stop and he said, I'm going to get me a super speeder.

And he got him a super speeder.

He got Brian.

He did.

He got me.

As soon as I passed him, I started pulling over.

As soon as I passed him, I started pulling over.

Before his blue lights even came on, I was already on the shoulder of the road.

Absolutely.

Because it was almost like I admitted guilt before he even really told me

I had a problem.

I already knew it.

I already knew that I got clocked and I knew I was going fast.

And so he comes.

You're getting a little heart that his little stomach flutters.

Oh my God.

Yeah.

Am I going to go to jail?

Do I have a warrant in some far-flung county from some time in my life when I don't remember?

I'm nervous.

I always get nervous around cops.

Cops make me nervous.

I've not always had the best interactions with them.

I mean, I've never like, you know, ran from a cop or something, but I have had handcuffs on before a few times in my life.

And when you have handcuffs on, you realize that a cop has the power to do that.

And that doesn't make you feel good.

Being in handcuffs is not a good feeling.

That means you can't go anywhere.

And there's nothing you can do about it.

And you, and it's out of your control, all of it.

So that out-of-control feeling, that PTSD comes back to you.

If you ever had an interaction with a police officer where you end up in handcuffs, you instantly get that PTSD.

I mean, I've been in handcuffs, but not with a police officer.

So.

okay, Jeff is not the same.

Jeff is not the same.

Okay.

By the way, I have to ask you.

I have a sense of elation.

Remind me.

Chrissy has the other reaction.

She has PTSD.

Pussy syndrome.

She has pussy TT.

Pussy TSD.

Here, hold my panties.

So officer comes up, young guy.

Young guy.

I mean, 23, 24 years old.

It feels a little weird when you're the old guy in the situation and he's the authority figure.

You know what I'm saying?

Right.

Yeah.

He comes up to the left hand up to Astrid's window and Astrid's like, is he coming up to my window?

I go, that's what he's going to do so he doesn't kill himself.

Of course, I pulled way over on the side of the road.

The kids,

they're all on their iPads.

Daddy, why did you get pulled over?

Daddy, are you going to jail?

Daddy, why is the police officer coming?

And I'm like, shut up!

Yes, daddy's going to jail.

Goodbye, kids.

Remember me fondly.

Am I going to jail?

I don't know.

It's literally a roll of the dice right now in 2025.

I could be going to jail.

I don't know.

So he comes up and he's like,

you know,

Georgia State Patrol.

Yeah, where are you going so fast?

Oh, they always say that too.

And I go, listen, we're on our way to Disney World.

And I go, this is literally like

the movie.

I know, like Clark.

I'm Clark Griswold.

That's right.

I'm Clark Griswold.

I'm on the side of the road with this officer.

And he, and in my head, I could tell him exactly what happened, just like I told you.

And it could all make sense to him.

And in my head, I can pretty much talk my way in and out of anything, except for a police officer.

I'm not even going to try.

So

I start down the story.

I'm like, listen, officer, there was like a guy sitting in the left hand.

And then Astrid turns her head to look at me.

And I was like, but it doesn't really matter.

I was going too fast.

I'm in the doghouse.

I'm more scared scared of Astrid than I am of the police officer.

I'm like whispering, take me, take me,

take me away.

In my head, now I'm scared that Astrid's going to like take away my driving privileges for the rest of the vacation.

And I'm going to have to be stuck having Astrid drive, who's a lovely driver, by the way.

But she will be going 67 in the left-hand lane.

I can guarantee it.

That's just the driver that she is.

So I'm like, I was going too fast.

I'm sorry.

I really, I apologize.

I shouldn't have been going that fast.

And he's like, you know, we're not with these kids in the car, not at all.

And I'm like, yeah, I got it.

All right.

Yeah.

Okay.

So he comes back.

And, you know, that, that awful wait to see whether or not, you know, where's your insurance card?

I have it on my phone.

Don't worry.

It's in the system.

Give me your license.

He goes, okay, I'm just going to check.

He goes, I got to come back here, make a few checks, and then I'll be back with you in a few minutes.

Mercifully, he only took like three minutes.

Honestly, he wrote it up.

He rode it a couple of miles per hour under what he had clocked me at

because otherwise I would have gotten a super speeder ticket, which is like

they're expensive.

It's like mandatory.

You have to go to classes and you could go to jail.

They could, that's a restable offense in the state of Georgia, a super speeder ticket, which is, I think it's 25 miles per hour or over.

So he wrote it for 23 miles per hour.

Still going to be a very expensive ticket.

But then he comes back and he says, listen, Mr.

Green, I got to ask you to please lighten up that right foot.

He's like, you don't need to be going that fast down these highways.

He's like, you know, it's just dangerous.

And I said, yeah, no, I got you.

And he goes, all right, well, have a safe trip and take care of those kids.

And I'm like, okay.

And then as soon, you know, then he, as soon as he gives me the ticket and I take it, I like pull away, right?

Yeah.

And I see Astra, he's like, where are you going so fast?

And I'm like, I'm not going anywhere.

So I just want to get back on the road.

Like, he's done with me.

What am I supposed to do?

Sit around and mourn my ticket?

Like, what's the appropriate amount of time to sit behind a police, sit in front of a police officer?

Used to be when I was a kid and I would get pulled over.

When I was like a 20-year-old, I got pulled over.

I would always let the police officer leave first.

Go first.

Yeah, just to make sure he was in front of me and I wasn't going to get pulled over a second time.

But in my adult life, I've learned once you've concluded business, you get on your way.

That's what you do, or at least that's how I feel you should.

You know, why do I have to sit around and wait?

I see an opening.

Let's get back on the highway.

And so I did.

And then, so now my intention of getting down there in like a little under seven and a half hours is completely blown.

Oh, yeah.

Now it's going to be nine hours at least because

it's not that that officer is going to follow me all the way down the highway.

It's that Asteridge

is now

her claim that I'm always driving too fast.

Her parents say this.

My brother-in-law says this.

My own brothers say this.

I've had a very few accidents in my life where I was driving.

Very few.

And they've all been fender benders, luckily.

However,

I do drive a little fast sometimes.

So now I am officially in the doghouse.

Yeah, she's on high alert.

I had to drive slow there.

I had to drive slow back.

I had to go under 10 miles per hour over the speed limit.

It was just like a whole cluster.

It didn't start off great, but I decided to shake it off real quick.

That adrenaline was, I had, it was like early morning.

I had a cup of coffee.

Coffee, right.

No food in my stomach.

That adrenaline kept me going for like three hours.

I was nervous.

I was like, oh my God, thank God I didn't go to jail.

Thank God I don't have a warrant somewhere out there for my arrest.

I mean, not that most people do, but you just never know in 2025 what some kind of fuckery that's going on when all of a sudden you're going to end up in jail so my disney vacation did not start out the greatest but it also got a little bit better that night and there's lots of other stories to tell but i don't want to i don't want to throw it up all on you at one time and trust me the throwing up part will come later on in the story because there are other things to get to chrissy including A child who fell off a Disney cruise saved by her father.

Did you see that?

I want to talk a little bit about that.

I've also got some information that I think you're going to want to know about Mystery.

Do you remember Mystery?

Oh, yeah, the PUA.

One of the OG PUAs that we reviewed, guy that did that VH1 show, the pickup artist, wore that crazy top hat, like Tom Petty and the

question mark on his shirt or something.

Yeah, I think he tattooed it on his chest or some shit.

He's still around.

He's like 62 years old.

He's still around.

He's still doing his thing.

He's doing boot camps now.

And I'd love to share with you some of the commercials that he's put together for his boot camps and his buddies.

And then, before the week is out, because you asked for it and it's a hot topic right now with commercial breakers, we have more Pauli couch cushions coming your way.

I have pulled three fantastic videos that he's just put out in the last week.

Three fantastic videos.

So we'll try and get to it today, but there's a lot to talk about.

But stay tuned for the rest of the week because Paulie Couch Cushions is coming back.

I may do this every week until the end of the year.

Pauli keeps doing these videos.

We just might dedicate a whole day every week to Paulie couch cushions.

Let's take a short break.

We're back from Odyssey.

We're feeling good in our homeground.

We are here at our home stadium.

And yeah, we'll take a break.

Sorry, I got to get myself situated.

I want to look good on camera.

I got my pink on pink today.

What do you think?

Looking good?

Yeah, I like it too.

I feel good in pink for some reason.

You look at it.

I really do.

I feel like when I bring my gay out a little bit, it makes me feel.

Yeah, well, you've got the eyes and you've got the tan going on, too.

I do have the tan going on, man.

I'll tell you what.

Spend five minutes in the central Florida sun in late June, and you're going to be tanned.

There's no way around it.

You can't get around it.

And I like that.

I like the sun on my face.

But, you know, the kids now today,

and I say the kids, teenagers in the early 20s, you do this when you're dumb and you're young, but then I don't have much room to talk.

They're all checking the UV index, not because they want to put on more sunscreen, to see what kind of tan they can get.

So they say, are you checking the UV?

What's the UVI?

The UV index.

It's a whole thing that's going on.

It's over.

It's been really hot here.

Or it's been really high here, too.

Yeah, it's been miserably hot here, too.

But mercifully, it rains every 15 minutes.

So

it's a break.

Oh, my God.

My blue pool overflowed yesterday.

No way.

It rained straight for an hour and a half.

Yeah.

When I got home from the studios, it was, yeah.

Like water

pouring from a faucet out of the sky.

And it just, I just watched my, as my pool went,

it just, it just overflowed.

That's like the fifth time since I've had that pool that I've watched it overflow.

It's quite amazing.

That means that the drainage can't handle the amount amount of water that's going into it.

I don't need to talk to you about aquatic equations, kids.

You already know when more water goes in that can be let out, it's going to overflow.

Okay.

All right.

Let's talk about a few things that happened while we were gone.

Number one, speaking of Disney, a child,

you have to have your head in a hole not to have heard about this.

And maybe you haven't.

I don't know.

But I think this has been widely reported.

A few of our listeners actually sent this in to me because they knew I was at Disney or a Disney fan.

Disney Dream, which is the ship that I have been on now twice, three times, that goes down to the Caribbean and to the private island and maybe to the Bahamas, depending on which one you take.

That dream just keeps on going back and forth to the Bahamas, to the private island, Disney's private islands.

Three-day, four-day cruise.

Three-night, four-night cruise.

Beautiful ship.

It's one of their older ones, but it's gorgeous.

Most people who like Disney cruises say the Disney Dream is the best of them.

Really?

They are impeccably clean.

They are impeccably beautiful.

They are well maintained.

The crew crew is well trained.

They are lovely.

The food is delicious.

The rooms are incredible.

If you're into cruising, a Disney cruise is not a bad place to be stuck.

Is it the best cruise ship in the world?

No, I've been on better, but it certainly is great for the family, right?

They're also very expensive, just like Disney is.

But one of the things that Disney takes extra care of on these cruise ships, at least this cruise ship that I've been on, the Disney Dream, is that as a parent, one of the things that concerns you about the other cruise lines is the safety of the cruise line, especially if you have a balcony and around the balconies of the children.

Because oftentimes the balconies have, you know, the banisters and then maybe a couple of railings down to the floor.

But those railings, if your child is small, it's easy to get in between those railings.

Really?

They're just open.

I would think there was some kind of like plexiglass.

There is on the Disney Dream.

On the Disney Dream, there is plexiglass on every potential or possible place where a child could slip through, with the notable exception of some places on the deck four, where they have

the lifeboats, essentially.

There are some places where I could see that if you really tried, you could slip through and get to a place where you could get off the ship.

But I think any parent.

who's aware would know that and would probably be paying a lot of attention to a small child around, especially on that deck four.

Deck four is where they have

the bars, the adult area.

Is that going to be like the top deck?

No, the top deck is like deck 15 or something.

Oh, okay.

This is where they have the running track or the walking track around the ship.

So it's essentially think of like one big walkway around the ship.

Yeah.

And it's just a railing.

that you can go out to the ocean.

So it's a beautiful place to go take a walk after dinner.

Right.

You just take a walk around the entire boat and you can look over into the ocean, unobstructed view of the ocean.

Railing up to your chest, plexiglass, even though they have those slats, those rungs, there's plexiglass.

Down to the floor, I mean, you probably couldn't get your hand under there, let alone a child.

The same way on the balconies of the rooms, the same way on the balconies in the front of the ship, when you go to like the pool area, in the pool area, the...

I would say the banister is probably five feet tall and has plexiglass to the floor.

That's the way I'm picturing that like there's a lot of safety nets here.

A lot of safety, not to mention the most advanced man overboard system known to man is on those Disney ships.

They have every inch, every inch of that ship, the outside of that ship, is covered by a man overboard system and monitoring cameras 24 hours a day.

It's heat sensitive.

So if anything over 68 degrees goes over, it immediately sounds an alarm and everybody's on alarm.

Wow, it's heat sensitive.

It's heat sensitive.

So it's like a heat signature.

It's, you know, they do this with a lot of things, like cameras, like in the woods the hunters put the cameras and they take pictures of anything that's like over 68 degrees like the mountain monsters like the mountain monsters who have never ever put on the thermals kids they have thermals on the disney dream they have thermals

i'm saying all of this not to give you a dissertation on disney safety on the cruises but it feels very safe as a parent i never once thought that my child could get over the railing unless one thing one thing and one thing only unless they took the patio furniture on the balcony and pushed it to the edge and then tried somehow to get over.

In that case, I think they might be able to do that.

What did we do?

We took the balcony furniture and we put it on top of each other.

So my children would have to rearrange the balcony furniture to get it on the floor to push it over.

We also kept the door locked.

Anytime that we were not in the room or we were not paying, we were not on the balcony with them.

The door was locked.

They have a lock up top and a lock on the bottom.

The kids can't reach it.

So the question, when you read the story, and here's the story: child goes in, five years old, girl, father jumps in after her, finds her in the water, swims, swims for 20 minutes, water minutes, treads water, fully clothed, while waiting for the Disney crew to get the lifeboat in the water and get over to it.

Wow.

And 20 minutes is remarkably fast, remarkably fast.

Think about that.

You have to get a muster, get to the muster station, get the muster crew, the people who are certified to do this, the safety crew, lower them down 40 feet into the water, waves and all.

You have to stop the boat, turn it around so it's facing where they left, and then you have to find them in the water in the middle of the day when everything's glaring.

And then you have to get them out of the water.

And you have to do that in the amount of time where someone could potentially tread water and think about a child who has just fell off a boat who is absolutely freaking the fuck out.

Oh, yeah.

I am in that pool and two of my kids grab on to me and I start getting a little panicky because I couldn't do that for more than three minutes.

But I will tell you what, even before I got to the end of that story, and I read that the father jumped in after her, I said, absolutely,

no question.

I would have been in that water so fast.

And Astrid goes, I don't know that I would have.

I would have felt like it was just too late.

And I go, I wouldn't have cared if it was too late.

I would have died trying.

We're going down together, if that's the case.

Yeah, you hear about that with parents who all of a sudden display feats of strength and, you know, just break the adrenaline's going

and you just make an immediate decision that if there's anything I can do there's only one way to do it and that's to do the same thing to go in after them a lot of people online it's like a mixed bag some parents online were like absolutely and some parents online were like I don't know that I could have ever even thought about doing that.

Like that would have been the thing that came to mind.

I would have thought about throwing a life vest, getting down, you know, to the crew, jumping on the bottom.

But with a five-year-old, you know, there's no chance she survives there's i'm quite

quite frankly i'm i'm surprised she survived the fall right 40 feet hits like like hard concrete yeah when you're on that fourth deck you realize just how high that is yeah maybe not a full 40 feet but it's three stories and

a child with small bones and not a lot of strength

and experience swimming how he even found her when the boat is moving the boat was moving by the way.

How the girl didn't get sucked under the boat, which happens a lot also because there is a draft and it's pulling under all the things that could have gone wrong here.

Everything went right.

Every single thing went right.

He jumped in.

He found her.

He managed to keep himself afloat.

You saw the picture of this guy.

He was keeping a lot afloat.

I'm telling you, this guy wasn't like Mr.

Fantastically Fit.

I'm not making fun of the guy.

He's a fucking hero.

He's a fucking hero.

So this is an amazing story with such a happy ending.

But But then, like all shitty things on the internet, someone starts a rumor that they were on the boat and they saw how I was wondering how, everyone was wondering, how did this happen?

How could a pata, how could it possibly happen?

And people online, some lady said that she was on the boat and she heard or she saw that the father was putting the child on the railing to take a picture.

That's what I read, too.

It is not true because the authorities came out this morning and they said, we have not

finished our investigation, but in an effort to dispel rumors, we have found zero evidence, and we have spoken with eyewitnesses who did not see the father dangling the child or putting her on a railing.

Yeah, they were playing shuffleboard, and the child managed to climb over the railing.

How she did this, I don't know.

But you know, five-year-olds are precocious.

That's true.

They find a foothold somewhere, they want to get over, they think it's fun, they want to get to the top, they want to see over, and she fell over.

The father saw it, he jumped in immediately.

So, this is just an amazing story.

It really is.

When I read it, I was just blown away.

And then it continued in the one, the article I read about saying that I don't know, there's like a 15% chance most people survive

over the railing.

It happens very rarely.

A lot of people fall off boats every year.

A lot of people fall off cruise ships, especially.

Some people jump off them.

Some people are drunk and they fall off their balcony late at night.

A lot of cruise ships don't have these kind of safety measures in place.

The balconies are the railings on the balconies are much lower.

They're like waist high.

It's easy to kind of get yourself over, you know, like be drunk and fall over.

You got to be fucking careful.

You can't be a dum-dum when you're on a cruise ship.

The chances of

surviving a fall, depending on what deck you're on, are not great.

But what really happens is you either get sucked under the boat or the boat gets so far away from you, you are never found again.

Because even in warm water, hypothermia can set in quickly.

You have to think about this.

People are like, oh, they're down in the Caribbean.

It's warm water.

That water's 88 degrees.

Let's say 88 degrees.

Your body's 98 degrees.

Anything under 85 degrees for your body, your body temperature, you're going into hypothermia.

If you're in water, it's cooling you immediately.

It's like putting a beer in a cooler full of ice and water.

Your body's becoming the same temperature as the water very quickly.

Within 20 or 30 minutes, you're going to get hypothermia, even in warm water.

So the truth is, is that all odds are against you surviving this.

Yeah.

And the only thing that allows this girl to survive is her fucking hero of a father making an absolute second-by-second call that no question, I am in the water with her.

I can't even

like begin to praise this father enough for the quick thinking and action.

He could have died.

They both could have died.

She could have been dead and he was swimming after her body, all the things.

But as a father, when I think this one through, and these are the kind of stories that make you think it through, there's no question.

If one of my children had fallen over, I would have been in in a heartbeat.

In a heartbeat, I would have been in.

And that's to say that I am also a hero, the hero you didn't know you needed.

I'm a hero just for thinking about doing this.

Okay, let's admit it.

I've never fallen overboard, neither have either any of my children, but let's pretend they did.

I would have already saved them in my head.

Oh, you would have done it faster.

Faster than that guy.

And I would have swam for longer.

I would have swam to the Disney Private Island.

You would have just, yeah, because weren't they close to, I thought they were actually closer to going back to Florida.

They were.

They were traveling from the island to Florida.

You would have just, you know, swam.

Swam to Florida.

To Miami.

That's right.

And then before the ship even got there, I would have already checked my daughter into the local dock in the box.

We got it all checked out.

I would have been at the Ritz-Carlton with warm hot chocolate for her, watching Frozen.

I'm picturing you coming out of the water like Baywatch style.

Baywatch with my belly all

shaking water off of yourself as you, you know, you're carrying it.

Shaking my daughter off.

Yeah, shaking my daughter off.

Pictures being taken.

I would have sold the story to people before Astrid got off the boat.

And that's the truth.

By the way, there is a picture going around of the ship, like the boat, the safety boat, coming back to the vessel, to the cruise ship.

And the father is in the back of the boat, looking completely wrecked.

Like,

he's completely out of it.

The child is not shown.

She's got a towel over her head, but her poor little body is laying what looks like her mother's lap.

And you can just tell the life is out of her.

Not really, but you can just tell like there's no more energy left.

Right.

This child is going to be, this child's never going to go on a cruise ship again.

She's going to have a fear of water for the rest of her life.

I hope she doesn't, but I think that probably will happen.

But the mother looks so incredibly pissed, and the father and the mother aren't looking at each other.

The father's not even in the same side of the boat as the mother.

So when the

staff then got the mother on the boat too to go do the rescue?

Here's the crazy thing is that the muster station, the place where you would release this safety boat, is on the fourth floor.

So I think what happened is the mother was the one

quickly ran and they just threw her on the safety boat so that she could be there.

Um, but they got everybody on board and she looks pissed.

She looks pissed.

She looks pissed.

And so when the rumor started that he was putting her up there for a picture, in my mind, I put two and two together and I thought,

it's all making sense now.

Mom, and Astrid was telling me, we were talking about this.

Astrid's like, oh, they're getting a divorce because when something like this happens, you can never forgive the, you would never forgive the husband, like never forgive him for doing something so dumb.

I was not as quick to judge.

I thought when I read this story, I thought it could be true, right?

Could not be true.

It makes sense because it's really hard to get overboard on a Disney ship.

But then I saw the picture of the mother and I was like, huh, I don't know.

Maybe that's it.

But I am very happy to hear for his sake.

I'm very, and the sake of the marriage.

Yeah, I'm just so happy everybody's okay.

Meanwhile, this is the most precocious five-year-old in the history of five-year-olds.

And listen, I have one.

I've got eight of them.

And I know they can get into trouble.

Luckily, all of mine are afraid of hearts, afraid of heights, and not particularly brave.

So I don't worry too much about them wanting to climb over a railing, but they do get into stupid shit

all the time.

You know what's stupid shit, Chrissy?

Laboo-boo.

La boo.

Laboo-boo is stupid fucking shit.

I can't tell you how sick of laboo boo I am.

I was reading a story while you were gone thinking of it, and it made me think of you.

I think I saved it in my phone, but it was the fake labooboos and how people don't care.

Lafufu.

Lafufu.

It's what they're calling them, La Fufu.

And how people don't care.

They just want them.

They don't give a shit.

But they might just have only nine teeth.

Nine teeth instead of eight teeth or something like that.

Yes.

There's a way to tell.

And, you know, people don't care.

They're paying hundreds of dollars for these.

If we were smart, we'd jump on the bandwagon and start selling la fufus to everybody.

Yeah.

We should sell la cuckoos, like commercial breaks, la cuckoos.

La cuckoo.

I'm going to draw something like a little devil, and I'm going to make it a la cuckoo.

What do you think?

I like it.

I like it.

The lakuckus are for sale here at the commercial break.

Listen, people are going crazy over these laboo boos.

Yeah, here it is.

I pulled it up.

Let me see.

It was in the New York Times.

La Boo-Boos are fake and they don't care.

If your laboo boo doll has come with more than nine teeth or it came in a box with a shiny bright finish, it may not be laboo boo.

It's probably la fufu.

Lafufu.

Or lakucku.

I like lakuku.

I like lakukuku.

I like lakucku too.

Knockoffs are wildly popular.

Knockoffs of the wildly popular elf-like doll, which are collectively called the Monsters and are sold exclusively by Chinese toy retailer Pop Mart, have become almost as popular as The Real Thing, and they are much easier to find.

Look at that.

They're showing video of just like tens of thousands of La Fu Fus that the Chinese authorities are.

Listen, this happens.

They were selling like Habbage Patch dolls too at one point.

That's true.

Like, you know, they had like stitching through their eyeball and stuff.

It was clearly not a cabbage patch doll.

But I want to talk about the boo-boo because people are taking it to a new level.

Now,

people are claiming online that they are waking up with, did I, was I talking about this yesterday?

Yes.

They're waking up with like teeth marks and they're closing their doors and they're bringing in bad spirits.

I found a video where a Satanist, a former Satanist, a guy that we have talked about on this show before we reviewed a video.

He's a reformed Satanist, is talking about Laboo Boos and all the trouble they can bring to your family.

Yeah, I think he's, I think this guy just pops up anytime there's an opportunity to be on another podcast.

You know what I'm saying?

But for some reason, he's the expert on Satanism and all things bad.

We'll talk about why laboo boos might, in fact, be a sign of the apocalypse.

After these words, we'll be back.

You make this rather snappy, won't you, Auntie Somebody can be thinking to do before 10 o'clock.

Oh, God, that's funny.

Chrissy and I talking about 90-year-olds now going to dance clubs.

And I said, that's the time to do it.

We've talked about this.

Like those old ladies in that, you know, gypsy party that were doing huge gats of cocaine and having a great time and dancing it up.

You got nothing to lose.

What the fuck?

Why not?

All right.

Listen, the boo-boos are taking on, as they were bound to, are taking on a life of their own, literally in some people's homes.

They're becoming like a sign of Satanism to some of these wackadoo

Christians who think everything is the sign of Satan.

These are the same people who got upset about wanting to put labels on music and all this other stuff.

There's nothing new under the sun.

Same brand of hypocrisy, same brand of

Puritanism.

How would you say that?

Puritanism?

Puritanism that has been going around the United States of America since the pilgrims came over.

Since the Puritans.

Killed all the Indians.

That's right.

Their hypocrisy killed all the Indians, stole their land, and took all their food and brought pestilence and disease.

So here, this guy is a former Satanist.

He's talking to somebody about laboo-boos and all of the recent hubbub on the habo-boos that's going on on YouTube and Instagram.

That's so crazy.

About how laboobus are literally devils that are coming to life when people aren't looking to cause wreak havoc.

It's like gremlins.

I was gonna say literally buying gremlins and bringing them to your house.

Or like this, the Stephen King, The Twilight Zone, the movie where it had that one where the little thing would come at night and steal the girl's breath.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, there's a creepy little fucker.

What was that?

The little like gnome or something?

That's so weird.

It was.

It was so weird.

So weird.

Okay.

So here, let's take a listen to this guy and see what he's got to say about the boo-boos and the devil.

You know, they're cute.

They're so funny.

They're so comfortable.

That's what the devil wants you to believe.

They're so comfortable.

That's what the devil wants you to believe.

They're comfortable.

If they're comfortable, they're comfortable.

The devil doesn't want you to believe that.

That's how it feels.

You could take it to your house.

You could take it to your house and you can bring these negative things into your house.

Okay.

You could take it to your house.

Can you, really?

Here, this is a Catholic Inspiration channel in case you're wondering where you can find this kind of content,

I want to ask you this

kind of doll if you're familiar with this, Brother John.

The Labubu Dal.

If you're familiar with this,

recently, this doll, it's called Labubu Dal has been linked to claims of demonic activity.

What are your thoughts on this

activity?

I love it.

Look at the laboo boo.

I know.

They're starting a boy band.

No one's got the guitar and a boom.

There's a picture of, there's like a stock photograph of the labooboos and one's got a guitar.

It's a boom.

It's a summer party with all the little devils.

They're going to bite your neck at night.

They look so unassuming there.

Yeah.

Till they steal your breath.

How can people discern if an object is spiritually dangerous?

I mean, you got to know one thing.

The devil would take something entertaining,

something that looks, you could get comfortable with.

These things look like little devils.

he could be talking about the commercial break

it's entertaining it's comforting but we look like little devils you know little devils and people say oh they look harmless they look cute you know they're cute they're so funny they're so cute

like they are cute they're cute he's like they are i've been using them to masturbate with

they're comfortable oh they're really comfortable but that's what the devil wants you to believe so you could take it to your house you could take it to your house you could take it to your house you can take it to your car you could take it anywhere.

It's a laboo boo, and you can bring these negative things into your house.

And when you bring negative things into your house, you change your spiritual environment in your house.

Now, the devil has legal rights over your house.

Legal,

the devil has legal rights over your house.

Does he really?

Is that what that means?

Yeah, be careful.

Be careful you don't sign that labooboo contract.

He got legal rights by bringing something.

How many times people say Halloween?

That's harmless.

We put on a costume, chicken tree, give candy.

I don't see no harm to that.

Of course, not because the devil sexy French-made outfit.

I dress like Paris Hilton.

I don't see no harm to that.

But doesn't want you to see the real side of it.

Because if you see the real side of what the devil's trying to do, you won't do it.

It's like the person that

do I do with all 455 of my laboobus.

Yeah, he's thinking.

Yes, and my Mickey Mouse costume for this year's Halloween activities,

the drug dealer, right?

He told you, oh, don't worry about it, man.

You want to be.

I don't like what you're saying here.

I'm going to have to get rid of a lot of stuff.

Wait, now you're saying I got to get rid of my cocaine?

Really?

Come on, man.

Here's some cocaine.

Don't worry about it.

Pay me later.

Don't worry about it.

You're my friend.

I don't know what kind of drug dealer is that.

Pay me later.

We didn't have those.

No.

I might be extended like half a gram of credit, but it wasn't going very far.

And I better pay in the morning when I get my paycheck.

I get my paycheck on Tuesday.

Ah, no, man.

Don't call me with that bullshit, man.

Come on, Brian.

Don't call me with that bullshit.

That's what D would say.

He'd say, don't call me with that bullshit, man.

I'd be like, come on, man.

From me a little bit.

And he'd be like, don't call me with that bullshit.

When are you going to pay me?

I don't know.

Like Tuesday, I get my paycheck.

Come pay me tomorrow.

Okay, I'll pay you tomorrow.

Double.

Okay, all right.

Don't fuck with me now.

I'm coming to your house at 10 a.m.

Don't fuck with me.

And I love you.

Take this on credit.

Pay me.

But when you don't pay him, he's going to send his friends to beat you up like a pinata.

Right.

Or if you do drugs, you think you're having a happy moment.

Now your heart stops.

Geez.

John here is full of optimism.

He's a super happy former Satanist.

Right.

And the other guy just keeps going.

It's what the devil knows how to put makeup on something to dress it up to look to look in it.

Sounds like our interview with Veer Das.

By the way, I gotta say this.

Guess who wants to come back on the show?

No way.

Veer Das.

No way.

He does.

And I...

What do I say?

No.

I mean, of course I say yes.

I can't believe.

I just don't think he remembers who he is.

I think his agent doesn't remember who he was talking to.

Right.

Right.

She's got a bad thing.

But I do know his agent, and she is quite a fan of ours, I think, because we say yes to everything she says our way.

But behind it, behind the scenes, he knows how to entrap you.

He knows how to bring the curse into your home.

to something that looks innocent, but the bottom line in it is a setup of the enemy.

I thought you said that some people were saying they were biting them on the neck.

They were.

No, I'm just getting a Satanist point of view about this.

What everybody is saying.

Listen, some people are taking it to the extreme.

People that are obviously looking for attention, they have mental health issues are claiming that they're like biting them on the neck and they show up with these bruises and these scars and like, how did I get this?

And it's like, because you did it yourself, you painted it there.

Because this doll was collected by

many famous artists.

I mean, international.

You see the famous artists today.

I mean, look in America, right?

We had an election, right?

So you got Kamala Harris.

She brings all these artists up there.

Kamala Lala Harris.

Here we go.

Here we go, John.

Beyonce,

she brings, she brings MM, Tele Swift, MM, right?

And you're like, oh my god, oh, look, they're her friends.

Look,

they love her.

Lies.

They,

Lies.

Lies.

How do I know?

I'm a former Satanist with a third grade education.

People, devil worshippers.

So she's a Jezebel.

So Jezebel and devil worshippers.

She's a Jezebel.

Why you got to bring Kamala into the Laboo Boo conversation?

What did Kamala ever do?

I swear to God, this is the problem in America.

Anything is a reason to just throw Joe Biden or Kamala Harris into it, or even Trump.

It's like, come on, guys.

It's not everything.

It's a fucking doll that people like to collect.

And all of a sudden, Kamala Harris is responsible for it.

And Beyonce.

Yeah, I can literally hear the rocks rolling around in this guy's head.

To present to you a big lie, right?

And dang, the truth just came out the other day.

You know what came out the other day?

You know what came out the other day?

I read it on Reddit.

Where all the former Satanists get it on Reddit.

Where all the former Satanists get their information?

You know what came out the other day?

My nose hair.

See it?

I haven't shaved it in 10 years.

She paid Beyonce $10 million to speak for two minutes.

Whoa!

Amazing information.

It's a crime.

She's been outed now.

She's been outed.

Oh,

that's, by the way, false.

Yeah.

Not a true story.

Anybody has any inkling to believe that?

It's not true.

It's been debunked.

I mean, to speak for Terence, she paid Eminem $1.8 million to show off a few minutes.

She paid Kelly.

She paid Lenny Gaga $10 million.

Lenny Gaga?

Who's Lenny Gaga?

Lady Gaga's brother.

Hey, I'm a little monster, too.

Little Lefufu.

It's of the LeFufo.

That's right.

Of the Lagagas.

I'm Lenny.

I'm Lenny Gaga.

I thought it said Lady Gaga.

No, Joe called me.

He said you needed Lenny Gaga.

I'm Lenny.

To show up and say something nice about her.

You see the lies behind the scenes?

You see the lies?

Because I just told you

I'm the Rachel Manauer,

former Satanist, turned podcast guest.

These people, they just came because

they got paid.

They got money.

Lady Gaga got $10 million.

Katie Perry got $10 million.

Beyonce got $10 million.

Literally, what does this have to do with the Liboogo?

Yeah, literally, this has nothing to do with the Lil Bugos.

Number one.

Number two, if we want to talk tit for tat, and I don't want to talk tit for tap, but Donald Trump's friends aren't around him for months.

You think Jeff Bezos became Donald Trump's pal because they like each other?

Yeah.

Come on, shithead.

This happens.

We just talked about this yesterday.

Relationships at that level are transactional.

First of all, never happened.

They didn't give anybody $10 million to play.

First of all, second of all,

relationships at that level are transactional.

Of course, they are.

Lee Greenwood, on the other hand, might have gotten some money.

Yeah, Lee Greenwood is just friends with Donnie Trump.

Lee Greenwood doesn't give a shit.

Lean Greenwood gets paid every time Donald Trump walks out to that song.

Cha-chin.

You say, vote for her.

She's so cool.

She's so nice.

No, they did it for the money because the devil worshipers.

So they sponsor this woman and they lie about her.

Facts.

Facts.

My missing upper lip said it.

So.

Facts.

About her.

And they lie about her because they got paid for it.

You see, everything is exposed now.

Oh,

you ripped it wide open.

You win all 117 views on this video.

uncovered the truth

same thing with those dollars that none of these these these these uh artists

want you to buy these things because they're already curse you don't see no real christian walking around with those things and saying buy them

you don't

you don't

I would bet you some of the some wives and daughters of some of the biggest mega pastors in the world are all walking around with laboobus thousand dollars

you don't see no Catholic people saying, Oh, you can't let's go to the store, let's buy these things because they're so Catholic, they're so Christian.

No, I'm not gonna buy something, I'm gonna buy me the cross.

This gives me street cred.

That was like cross drop, cross, yeah.

I don't like the laboo-boos, I like the juju.

That's what I got.

The original Jew, Jesus Christ.

Buy no

devil animal stuff animal.

I'm not going to buy that.

No one's asking you to buy that.

I mean, you are the opposite of the target audience of the Lapu.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

Yes.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

You're like,

you're like the target audience of those people that make the duck hunting

calls, Ducks Unlimited.

That's your target audience.

All these artists, they don't know Jesus.

They just joined the devil's work.

They're just promoting things that you're the target audience of every OnlyFans.

Yes, that's the devil wants you to promote.

So he could be in your house.

He could be in your family.

He could bring disaster to your home through these things.

Same thing with the television.

You look at the TV, right?

And

back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the biggest thing was TV.

You watch, you put the TV on, you see horror movies, cursing, pornography on TV, right?

Get in your mind, get in your eyes.

What the Bible says?

Protect your mind, your eyes, protect your mind, protect your eye, protect your ears.

The Bible says that.

That's why I watch my TV with the commercial brigs,

patented technology, blackout glasses.

I always watch my TV with blackout glasses.

So now you listen to all these Phil coming, right?

All these Phil coming at you.

What's coming at me?

What Phil?

Phil.

Phil?

Pornography, horror movies, which you can also view online and which he's on.

Yeah, you're on.

That's right.

There's a TV in the background.

I guarantee.

Joey D-Bag's here.

I guarantee that he watches TV.

Yeah.

I can almost guess his favorite station, but I won't say it out loud.

And the devil's working you over.

How many people watch horror movie, horror movie, horror movies, horror movie?

And then they go out and kill people.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

I mean, he's really.

He's on a roll.

He is.

He is on a roll.

As are his nose hairs.

I just have to say, they're on point.

Happens in America.

Happens in America all the time.

Now, today, it's not the TV anymore because people

don't have time to watch TV.

Now, the devil says this.

This is the iPhone that he's holding up.

What does it say?

It says, Bible is our passport to Jesus is our pilot.

Heaven is our destination.

Notification from OnlyFans.

New content from Jenny2122.

You know, that's what it says.

Oh, yeah, of course.

This is what the devil is using.

Look what I have on my iPhone.

The Bible is my passport.

Jesus is my pilot.

And heaven is my destiny.

Amen.

Is that his like cross for his phone?

Yeah.

I mean, he's got it on the phone.

Why are you.

Where are your blackout glasses?

Where are they?

That's what I have on my phone.

Today, the iPhone

replaced a TV.

People spend hours.

That's why I've got one.

Yeah, that's why I have one.

Replaced my TV.

And then I got additional TVs and additional iPhones.

And now I have cameras and microphones.

I'm full of the devil.

And I love it.

I love lapping up the filt.

I love the filt.

That's sad.

But they don't pray.

But they want God to bless them.

They want God to protect them.

But you're on Facebook.

You're on Instagram all day long.

And the devil's eating your time.

And you're getting old.

And you got another show for it.

Yeah, I mean.

The other guy is encouraging.

Yeah,

he's just making weird noises into the microphone.

The devil sets you up.

Yeah.

They think God is like a genie or an APM machine or a benchmark.

They think God is a spare tire.

And back of your car, you get a flat, you bring out the tire, fix the flat, and then keep going and forget about it.

That's what they think.

God is a spare tire.

And you think God is a judgmental, small, little human-like creature upstairs making all kind of judgments here on earth about whether or not you did this or you checked that box or you pined to him appropriately or you did or did not sin in your eyes, which you call sin, or break laws of God or whatever it is.

You think God is a small, trite little thing, like a human being, the smallest of human beings, who is mad and angry and vengeful and will give kids cancer for no reason and send you to hell because you didn't just, you know, you didn't show up at church and kneel to the covenant every 15 minutes.

You think God is in a tiny little box.

I think God is the opposite.

I think God is a huge thing that runs through all of us.

And unfortunately, that includes the good and it includes the bad.

Your version of God is small.

Mine is big.

And fuck you, you shithead.

Honestly, these kind of people drive me crazy.

They really do.

They are the first to point out how non-judgmental Jesus Christ was, and we should all follow the laws of Jesus Christ and God, but they are also the first to point out

to judge and to point out how small that version of um heaven is it only includes a few of you well congratulations i hope you go to your version of heaven and i'll go to mine thanks very much all right but cost drop cost drop

but i do think he makes a point labooboo is satanistic and you should get it out of your house

you should buy the lakukus by chrissy and brian that's probably what he's telling his kids so he doesn't have to spend the money on them yeah this guy don't have kids you think he ever ever got a woman to agree to accept his particulate matter into her?

I doubt it.

You never know.

Yeah, yeah, you do never know.

It's usually these kinds that have four or five kids.

Yeah.

Well, we'll never know because we did another video on this guy.

He was with a pastor doing a show back in the early 2000s, and he had claimed that, you know,

the devil took him to some place and sodomized him.

Oh, my God.

He's messed up.

He's got some problems.

But you know what?

I hope you are living a life as happy as can be.

Just stop yelling at everybody else about what they're doing.

Just leave us alone.

We're okay over here.

We're doing all right.

If I'm going to hell, I can't go to hell.

I'm already here.

What are you talking about?

What are y'all talking about?

It's got to be better than this.

I saw a very interesting guy do it.

He's asked, he's

training AI to tell him about the matrix that is consciousness.

And he's making a very compelling argument about how AI is helping him understand.

This guy is completely rational, it seems like.

He's got his head on his shoulders.

He's like an astrophysicist or something.

And he's got a pretty compelling argument about why we are in a simulation like a video game and how consciousness is really the through line of life.

Energy is the through line of life.

Yeah.

So there you go.

I'll share it with you.

I'll share his Instagram.

It's very compelling.

Very kind of scary, but very compelling.

Yeah.
