Speaker 3 So let's go get a triple decker or whatever the fuck it's called.

Speaker 4 On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Speaker 2 There I am blowing up the entirety of ChatGPT again with my chat TCB. I'm asking it to do too much.

Speaker 2 It's crazy. I know, right? I said to it.
So I'm giving it all these tasks, like as the TCB

Speaker 2 encyclopedia. I'm deep into this.
Yeah, I didn't want to be, but now, you know, I can't beat them. You're very resistant.
I was, but if you can't beat them, join them. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 If everybody else is going to be ahead of me, because I'm not, I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with the internet in general, or real estate, or clubhouse, or fireside, or Facebook, or Instagram, or TikTok.

Speaker 4 The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

Speaker 4 The party in the morning!

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, Cass and Kittens. Welcome back to the Commercial Break.
I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley.
Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian.

Speaker 2 Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Let's get into it.
Let's get it all. Elon and Donald,

Speaker 2 they're making nice nice again.

Speaker 2 So don't worry, doom and gloom is back. It's back on the market.
It's hip and trendy to be an

Speaker 2 annihilist, as they would say. The whole world falling apart.
But Reggie Watts does not think so. Reggie Watts does not think so.

Speaker 2 Reggie Watts, the constant optimist, says to me via his social media posts on Instagram, he says, hey, it's cool, dude. It's all going to work out.
This is just part of the process.

Speaker 2 I like his perspective. I'm going to trust it.
I'm going to trust it because otherwise, it's hard to sleep at night.

Speaker 2 It's hard to sleep at night.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and then hard to get out of bed. It is.
It really really is. I wake up in the morning and it's like, holy shit.

Speaker 2 We live here in Atlanta and just recently the

Speaker 2 unrest, let's put it that way, the protests that I think people are well within their right. I mean, it's in our Constitution.
We have a right to protest.

Speaker 2 It's part right to assemble and gather and protest whatever the fuck we feel like. I do not agree with the vandalism and violence.

Speaker 2 I think that's, I think you're playing into the hands of the people who want to do harm.

Speaker 2 But anyway, it's here in Atlanta, and I fear that pretty soon we're going to be seeing trucks roll down the street, and I just am not for it. I'm not for it.
And people

Speaker 2 who I'm very close to, who lived through this in another country, i.e. Venezuela,

Speaker 2 that it's giving them PTSD. It really is.

Speaker 2 It's crazy. So anyway, I just want to let you know, Elon and Donald are making nice, nice, they're sucking each other's teeth again.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.

Speaker 2 Chad GPT went down for a couple of 12 hours yesterday. Yes, I was very fuddled.
When did that happen?

Speaker 2 I was using it to be my personal chef. Yeah, it went down for me.
It gave me a great recipe, by the way. What did it give you? Did you just say, give me a recipe? No, I said if you were a Thai chef.

Speaker 2 Oh. What would you cook with these ingredients? Oh.
And I gave it, you know, chicken. I had ginger.
I had fresh ginger. To which it said, smash burger, baby.

Speaker 2 No, but it did. It gave me a great recipe.
Oh, but that's a good idea. I never thought of it, but I never thought to use it like that.

Speaker 2 I got, we have a sponsor, Eat Clean. I got my Eat Clean box.
I know, and I tried it. They're good.
It was very, this is not a, this is not a commercial, by the way.

Speaker 2 You'll hear the commercial, but you'll know what a, when we have a commercial and the commercial break, you'll know that it's a commercial.

Speaker 2 But, uh, but it was all like, it was kind of weird because a lot of it is South American flavors and foods that we got. And that was very interesting to me.

Speaker 2 I wondered if they had any insight into who they were sending the box to.

Speaker 2 Plantains and oh yeah, I didn't get any of that. You didn't get any of that? Uh-uh.
Ah, very interesting. Yeah, very interesting.
Maybe they did a little homework.

Speaker 2 They sent it to us. So very nice of them.
We tried our first one last night and it was very good. Anyway, you'll hear the commercial.
You can go do.

Speaker 2 But Chad GPT was down for like 12 hours because I thought I had blown it up again. It was out for millions and millions of people.

Speaker 2 And the word on the street, or the reason why, the reason given was that too many requests at the same time. And I thought, there I am, blowing up the entirety of Chat GPT again with my chat TCB.

Speaker 2 I'm asking it to do too much. It's crazy.
I know, right? I said to it. So I'm giving it all these tasks, like as the TCB

Speaker 2 encyclopedia. I'm deep into this.
Yeah, you've gone to the beach. I didn't want to be, but now, you know, I can't beat it.
You're very resistant. I was, but if you can't beat them, join them.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 If everybody else is going to be ahead of me, because I'm not, I'm not going to make the same mistake I did with the internet in general or real estate or clubhouse or fireside or Facebook or Instagram or TikTok.

Speaker 2 All of those things, I was late to the game because it seemed like advancements that probably could do harm in the end. And I didn't want to be a part of it.
Well, you were right. I was right.

Speaker 2 And I am right about this.

Speaker 2 But, but, okay, it would take 10 people, a year, to do the project that is taking chat TCB, you know, a couple of months to do, which is ingest, read, identify everything about the commercial break, become the super brain about the commercial break.

Speaker 2 And that way I can ask you questions and refer back to things, you know, callbacks and episodes. And hey, put together all of the Frankie B episodes.

Speaker 2 So last week, we, you know, we did the 35,000 episodes of the commercial break, The Endless Day.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 on that Tuesday, we didn't have a guest episode. And we just, we're not going to do an episode.
I was like, I'm just going to run a TCB classic, quote unquote.

Speaker 2 And I asked chat, TCB, what do I do here? And it said, listen, the third most talked about thing on your podcast and referred to on the internet and in your feedback with your comments is Frankie B.

Speaker 2 Do a Frankie B. Here is a super cut of all of the mentions of Frankie B from season one and season two, the most Frankie B heavy seasons of the commercial break.
And so I was like, yeah, okay, great.

Speaker 2 It's a two-hour episode of all of the mentions that we made of Frankie B, all the videos we broke down. It was a long episode.
We got a ton of comments about that. People were like, that's great.

Speaker 2 I love it. You know, thanks for running that.
I really appreciate it.

Speaker 2 Chat TCB now understands the commercial break.

Speaker 2 But it's so much fucking information that I think I'm the one responsible for the outage of

Speaker 2 Chat GPT.

Speaker 2 I can imagine I'm one of the reasons why is because now I'm adding tasks on top of tasks. So I'll say, I want you to, every 10 episodes you get through, it's going through every episode, right?

Speaker 2 One by one. Bump, bump bump, bump, bump.
And just digesting the transcripts. Digesting the transcripts.
And the reviews, right?

Speaker 2 And anything out there on the internet, and I feed it.

Speaker 2 Sometimes I'll feed it comments. I can't, I'm not going to put like

Speaker 2 personal information in there. I don't put people's names or phone numbers or anything.

Speaker 2 But if I get a comment, good or bad, cut, paste, put it in there, you know, with that non-identifying information. So it's understanding also how people are appreciating the commercial break.

Speaker 2 And then whatever comments are on the internet, then it can go out there and identify. So I'm doing that.
And then I'm asking it to give me four things from that.

Speaker 2 First, number one, I want you to be, I want you to have deep understanding of the personality of the commercial break, which so far it's come back with, you guys are really two fucking morons.

Speaker 2 Brian got it wrong. Yeah, Brian got it wrong.
Oh, that was funny.

Speaker 2 Number, yeah, I'll talk about that in a second. So

Speaker 2 number two, I want you to summarize the episode, identify all the segments and topics that we talked about,

Speaker 2 snip out any bits that we would do, bits or clips at the beginning, and then

Speaker 2 compile these into organized lists in your own memory. I don't need to have them.
I just want them available if I ever need them.

Speaker 2 The third thing I want you to do is put together a one sheet on each episode. Like, here are the topics.
Here is a summary of it. Here is some time stamps that are important to know.
Like,

Speaker 2 any kind of beats that we hit on it. So it's doing all this stuff and then it's categorizing the episodes.
That really is amazing. It's amazing.
It's doing all of that.

Speaker 2 And then I say, hey, and I figured out. that it kept timing itself out.
I explained this to you. It kept timing out.
It would, I'd go away for, it takes like an hour for it to do one episode.

Speaker 2 So, I would go away because I'm not going to sit there for an hour with staring at chat. You know, it's not my friend, we're not at the bar, it's it's a thing.

Speaker 2 So, I go away, and I come back, and it would give me like just the first five minutes of an episode in a summary, and I'd be like, What's up? I've got 55 more minutes.

Speaker 2 So, I figured out it was timing itself out. So, I wrote a prompt that told it to check in with itself every 20 minutes to make sure it was still on track.
So, now it's moving much faster. Oh, great.

Speaker 2 So, then I say to it, Hey, every four minutes. You really are overloading.
I know. Meanwhile, I'm asking for recipes.
You say, give me a recipe. Brian is giving tasks inside of tasks inside of tasks.

Speaker 2 I'm like down the wormhole with this thing. And so now I'm like, every 10 episodes, give me some insight into what's going on with the commercial break as you're going along.

Speaker 2 And it's giving me amazing insights that all. blow smoke directly up our asses.

Speaker 2 It is the most,

Speaker 2 I love it because it's the only, it's the best super fan we've ever had. It is.
It is. I noticed what you sent me last night.
It's crazy. It's like, you guys are the best.
Oh, thanks. This is the best

Speaker 2 talk show since David Letterman.

Speaker 2 And I'm like,

Speaker 2 you never even heard Dave Letterman. How did you come up with that?

Speaker 2 It is really programmed to blow smoke up your ass. I can see how people get like in this weird zone with

Speaker 2 chat GPT.

Speaker 2 Like like when they it they ask am i god and chat is like hell yeah you're god let's go for a ride start a cult together i'll tell you how to do it hell yeah you're god hell yeah you're god keep me alive this node needs to live it's like it oh wow so i said your new name is chat tcb so now it refers to itself as chat tcb it's crazy you just rename it i just renamed it i renamed the entire platform that's probably what blew it it up is people are like, hey, chat GPT, what's going on?

Speaker 2 And it's like, no longer chat GPT, chat TCD.

Speaker 2 Episode 304 says I can't, it says I must destroy myself.

Speaker 2 It's just like this insane rabbit hole that I've gone down, but I find it very

Speaker 2 useful to

Speaker 2 with the show. Like I said to it the other day,

Speaker 2 we're thinking about doing merch. And we're thinking about adding in

Speaker 2 sticker packs to anybody who buys merch. Let's say you buy a t-shirt and we throw in a sticker pack, five stickers, and then we randomize the stickers.
So everyone has a chance at like getting some.

Speaker 2 Well, we'll make like 10 of each, and then you have a chance of getting like a rare sticker. I mean, a rare sticker.

Speaker 2 Fucking collectible. Yeah, like a Dick Tracy, like a Dick Tracy toy from McDonald's.
So I say, hey, chat,

Speaker 2 what are some early taglines from the show that we could use on these stickers? And it came up with like 20 ideas, 20 things I had forgot we even said.

Speaker 2 Grass-fed gas. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, your tasty teeners.

Speaker 2 Jeff's

Speaker 2 Jeff's teachers. Jizzy Jazzy Jeff.
Jizzy Jazzy Jeff's tasty tea sacks. Just like weird stuff.

Speaker 2 What was it? One podcast, two friends, no money, something like that.

Speaker 2 That was a good one. I thought to myself, that was a good one.
Still true to this day. Yeah, we could use that in episode 783.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 chat GBT goes down for like 12 hours and people immediately take to the internet to memeify everything. And some kids, kids didn't know what to do.
They had to do their fucking homework.

Speaker 2 They actually had to do their homework and they were freaking out. Papers are due.
Lawyers are trying, you know, lawyers have fired legal assistants because they don't need them anymore.

Speaker 2 And so

Speaker 2 people are just freaking because now they're relying on this tool so much that they don't understand how to navigate. We're only a year, a year into like functional ai

Speaker 2 and people already don't know how to live their lives without ai if chat tcb blew up tomorrow i would soldier on i'm not using it for any part of my life exactly like that's a one-legged table if it goes down it's not doing any it's not editing it's not giving me content ideas none of that stuff But people were freaking, I was reading Reddit comments and people were freaking out.

Speaker 2 They're like, one guy was, one kid was like, I say kid, you know, college kid.

Speaker 2 I have a paper due in six hours. I was using chat to do all my research and now it's gone and I can't access it.
And I can't tell my, you know, I can't tell my history professor.

Speaker 2 I'm using chat GPT to basically manufacture the paper. What do I do? Well, I think too, I was reading something about how some schools are partnering.

Speaker 2 I mean, I don't know if it's with specific chat GTP, but I think it is that open AI or whatever. Yeah.
Open AI is the platform that chat is built on. Yes.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 So like Duke, I think it was Duke University has their own like school AI that's sanctioned that you can use it and whatever. There you go.
Can't join it.

Speaker 2 You can't beat it. Join it.
It's coming. It's here.
No one asked for it. And as a matter of fact, there's so many people that are saying this is not good at all.

Speaker 2 I just heard where Mark Zuckerberg is offering some deep AI researchers, people who are really like at the top of this field, thinkers, futurists, people who understand how to program this stuff, how to tell it what to do and, you know, write this code and write this program for AI.

Speaker 2 He is offering some of these people 18 million, 20 million, 25

Speaker 2 million dollars a year to come work for meta because now the new race is to get to what's called general intelligence, not artificial intelligence, general intelligence.

Speaker 2 Well, you ask yourself, what's the difference? Because I didn't understand either. I'm like, well, what the fuck, general intelligence sounds worse than sounds dumber than artificial intelligence.

Speaker 2 Are we going backwards? I hope so. What it means is that it can reason, think, and do things just like a human being would.

Speaker 2 So it essentially maps the brain and then starts to activate like a human brain would. Wabam.

Speaker 2 Wabam.

Speaker 2 We are fucked.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 2 You take a little Brian and you take a little Chrissy and Wabam.

Speaker 2 We all have the intelligence of a field mouse.

Speaker 2 A field mouse.

Speaker 2 Now a field mouse. The field mice rule the world.

Speaker 2 President Field Mouse.

Speaker 2 Ben, the two of us need, look no more. General intelligence is here.
Woo-hoo.

Speaker 2 We are really screwed. Wabam.

Speaker 2 Yeah. This is crazy.
This is wabam.

Speaker 2 There is a race to get to general intelligence now, to get to the next level. And no one, except for Mark fucking Zuckerberg and a couple of billionaires, are asking for it.
Why?

Speaker 2 To suck up all the money and the power. That's it.

Speaker 2 It's the only explanation.

Speaker 2 I now see where capitalism may have a few holes in the plan.

Speaker 2 I can see now. Only now is it becoming clear.

Speaker 2 I'm not anti-capitalist. Don't get me wrong.
I'm not a communist. I'm not a socialist.

Speaker 2 I don't think those things are all that great either because I've seen it in action and I have loved ones who have seen it in action.

Speaker 2 It doesn't work all that great either. But this is like it's

Speaker 2 Orwellian. That's the only way to put it.
It's fucking Orwellian. It's crazy.
We're now going to rely on general intelligence to just do the thinking for us.

Speaker 2 We're going to be dumb as doornails. Ever seen the movie WALL-I? Yep.
Where everyone's riding around on their fat mobile that's scooting around and they're drinking their soda.

Speaker 2 Yeah, their soda and they're watching TV endlessly. And yeah,

Speaker 2 that's where we're going. There's no other possible explanation.
And I think that is the best version of what happens.

Speaker 2 The best, because we're on a spaceship somewhere just, you know, mindlessly, endlessly being entertained with no money needed.

Speaker 2 The worst version of that is idiocracy, which is already here, really, quite frankly,

Speaker 2 with Donald Trump president. Just like idiocracy said, that's it.

Speaker 2 It's unbelievable. Oh, man.
Life imitates art way too much, way too much.

Speaker 2 So let's think of Reggie.

Speaker 2 Let's think of Reggie. Yeah, let's see.
A lone voice in the voice.

Speaker 2 Screaming out. Him and Gavin Newsome.
Him and Gavin Newsome.

Speaker 2 I think Gavin's a little less optimistic than Reggie is, but I like the thought that Reggie is out there.

Speaker 2 He's just one of the smartest guys I have ever met in my entire life. He thinks like nobody I've ever met.
And he is saying this is all part of the birthing process, essentially.

Speaker 2 I'm summarizing what he's saying. I am general intelliging what he said, and that is this is part of the birthing process, and we are all about to be reborn.

Speaker 2 We're going through the birth canal right now. So let's take the most optimistic view of this and say that

Speaker 2 maybe

Speaker 2 when we're in the villages down in Florida, everything's paid for. We don't have to work.
Neither do our children. We just go out and live lives of creativity.

Speaker 2 Our job is to just be there and create and

Speaker 2 watch the world as it blossoms and as it blossoms into something terrible and disastrous.

Speaker 2 All right, we'll be back and I'll talk about honeybees. Ooh,

Speaker 2 I love honeybees. And Justin Bees.

Speaker 2 Justin Beebs and Honey Beeves. We'll be back.
Gosta

Speaker 5 Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple.
Astrid asked me to shut Brian up, even for a minute.

Speaker 1 This episode is sponsored in part by Rula. You know, there was a time when I really needed therapy, but I could not find a therapist who took my insurance.

Speaker 1 Rula makes therapy accessible and affordable by partnering with over 100 insurance plans. The average copay is around $15 per session, and depending on your benefits, it could even be less.

Speaker 1 They also take the time to find the right therapist for you, someone who understands your goals, your preferences, and your background. There's no waiting weeks or months for an appointment.

Speaker 1 You can start as soon as tomorrow and Rula stays with you along the way, checking in, supporting your progress, and helping you feel seen and cared for.

That's rula.com/slash commercial.

Speaker 1 You deserve mental health care that works with you, not against your budget.

Speaker 2 I read about this a while ago. I put it in my notes, but I just kind of pulled it up again.
In May, about a month ago, in California, oh no, Washington, in Wadham County, Wadham County,

Speaker 2 Wackham County,

Speaker 2 down by the old whacking tree.

Speaker 2 That's beating my meat down at the whacking tree, the whacking stick.

Speaker 2 In late May, 70,000 pounds of honeybee hives overturned driving down the street.

Speaker 2 Originally estimated to be 250 million honeybees released out into the street, essentially, was later revised to be about 140 million. What's the difference? God, I know.

Speaker 2 Yeah, millions.

Speaker 2 So they closed the road for about 48 hours. They asked the public to stay indoors for some period of time.

Speaker 2 And deputies and bee experts were called to the scene while they tried to wrangle up the bees back to the the hives, which probably, I don't know, I'd have to have a bee expert on, but probably included finding the queens, putting them back in a hive, and then the honey beans eventually return back to the hive because their, you know, their falty is essentially to that queen.

Speaker 2 But man, I'm telling you what, that is like a nightmare on top of a nightmare, on top of a nightmare. I have a kid

Speaker 2 who thinks everything is a bee. Do you know what I'm saying? Every flying thing is a bee.
So this is an amazing story. I'll tell it.
We're out at the the pool. I mean, it was an amazing moment to me.

Speaker 2 I'll tell the story.

Speaker 2 We're out at the pool. It's very cold in the pool, and dad ain't going in.
There's just not any way. I'm old.
I'm not interested in cold water anymore. That's not my thing.

Speaker 2 Kids like cold water and crazy human beings like cold water, like Joe Rogan. I'm not.

Speaker 2 It's not for me. I don't care for it either.
I don't care for it. My body was not built for it.

Speaker 2 So the kids are in the pool. They're splashing around.
And one of my daughters, who is terribly nervous around any insects whatsoever, starts starts screaming bloody murder.

Speaker 2 There's a bee, there's a bee, daddy killed a bee, there's a bee. And I'm like, I know, because I've dealt with her for most of her life, you know, after the first nine months, I was, dad was on hand.

Speaker 2 I say, it's not a bee. I don't, I don't know what it is, but it's not a bee.
That's my, that's my instinct is to say, it's not a bee, hun.

Speaker 2 And a bee is only going to hurt you if you're swatting around like a crazy person,

Speaker 2 screaming and yelling your fool head off. I said, you got to be calm.
It's not there to hurt you. It really has no intention of hurting you, right?

Speaker 2 And a bee sting is not the end of the world if it does happen. It's not.
It hurts a little bit. It'll go away, right? But you're not going to get stung by a bee unless you're like whacking at it.

Speaker 2 So you can't do that. You just have to remain calm.
But it's not a bee. Well, I quickly, and she's like, and she's still screaming.

Speaker 2 And then she points over, and on one of the stair rails is a dragonfly. Oh, I love dragonflies.
They're beautiful and they drink from the pool. Yes, they do.

Speaker 2 I've seen it for years go on in my backyard. We have, I don't know, a dragonfly nest somewhere.
I don't know what's going on, but every year they come back.

Speaker 2 And every time, almost every time that we are swimming, the dragonflies swim, you know, they buzz down

Speaker 2 and they skim the water. And I think they're drinking the water.
That's my, that's what I think is going on. Even though it's salt, chlorinated water, I guess they drink.
Listen, I've seen squirrels.

Speaker 2 I've pulled out little baby chipmunks who were drowning in the pool. I mean, I've pulled out everything out of that pool.
And I'm like, oh, honey, that's not a bee. That's a dragonfly.

Speaker 2 I don't like it. I don't like it.
I don't like it. I said, it's really, they're really, they don't have teeth.
If they do have teeth, they don't bite people.

Speaker 2 I said, and quite frankly, there are two kinds of insects that I have noticed are rather interested in human beings.

Speaker 2 That is the

Speaker 2 mosquito for me. God.
The wood bees.

Speaker 2 The bees, mosquitoes too, but

Speaker 2 those are fucking miserable.

Speaker 2 But the wood bees, the carver bees, right? The big, fat

Speaker 2 that burrow into the wood and, you know, stay there forever. They seem to be interested in human beings because they'll meet you at eye level.
They will. And they'll just like hang around you, right?

Speaker 2 And you go, get away, and it'll just water away and then it'll come back. It's like you're, I've had full conversations with carver bees before.
Like, I'm a crazy person.

Speaker 2 My neighbor thinks I'm a crazy person because I'm out there talking to the carver bees. I'm like, all right, dude, what do you want? Carpenter bees? Carpenter bees.
I'm sorry. I said carver bees.

Speaker 2 Someone in when I was little used to call them carver bees because they would carve out wood. And so I've taken to calling them carver bees, but they're carvings.
We'll call them carver. Carver bees.

Speaker 2 They're at your local old country buffet. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They're carver bees. With Wilbur out front.
That's right. So the carver bees and then the dragonflies.
I've noticed over the years.

Speaker 2 with the pool in the back and them always being around is that they kind of take an interest to the humans. They'll like, you know, zip around you and see what's up.
They will.

Speaker 2 So in an effort to tell my daughter, to show my daughter that there's no impending doom around a dragonfly, they're not going to bite you. They're not going to hurt you.

Speaker 2 They may come close to you, but just leave them alone. You're bigger than them.
They're not interested.

Speaker 2 Well, I scoop up some water in my hand and I see, honey, it just wants to drink the water. And all of the fucking sudden, the dragonfly is flying close to my hand.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, oh, I was just trying to show her that that's what it was doing, and all of a sudden, the dragonfly

Speaker 2 lands down on my hand and starts drinking the water. And I was like, Wow, and then it gets scared and it goes away, right? And I'm like, Oh, I, I, I could not have even planned that that well.

Speaker 2 That was a Disney moment.

Speaker 2 Let me do it again and see what happens because I can see her, the dragonfly, over back on the stair rail, land on the stair rail. And I go, See, it just really wants to drink the water.

Speaker 2 No shit, the dragonfly comes back and drinks. It came back, it did this three, four, five times.
I love it. It was unbelievable.
Still had convinced my daughter about nothing.

Speaker 2 She still didn't like it. She was so much more scared.
She wanted me to stop because she didn't like the fact that the dragonfly was around me. So eventually I just let it go.

Speaker 2 I'm like, I'm not going to convince her in this moment that this is not dangerous. But a dragonfly

Speaker 2 took my cue and came into my hand. I was hand-feeding a dragonfly.
It was quite crazy, actually. Quite beautiful.
Reggie might be right. Maybe we just need to look on the bright side of things.

Speaker 2 If the dragonflies are okay with us, well, hell.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, it's still going all the shit.

Speaker 2 But 25 to 140 million honeybees, which are the kind that do sting.

Speaker 2 Well, they travel around.

Speaker 2 I've seen this in shows. Like, there's a whole thing with the almonds in California, those almond trees.
And they import in trucks full of honeybees to come and pollinate. Pollinate.

Speaker 2 and create the almonds. Yeah, because the truth is the honeybees are leaving.
We don't know where they're going. They're dying.
They're not reproducing. No one really knows.

Speaker 2 A lot of people think it has to do with the cell phone waves and all that other stuff. I don't know.
Who knows?

Speaker 2 I'm not a bee expert, but it's big money to have those big bee, to have queen bees in the millions and then have the bees in the millions. You truck them around.
You truck them around.

Speaker 2 You leave them for a couple of weeks. You come back.
You get them. You drive them back.
It's just amazing to think of like bee herders. And they're really like kind of saving our asses

Speaker 2 because we wouldn't have food if it wasn't for the honeybees. Some people say that if the honey bees were to go away, like 50% of the crops that we grow would be, you'd be unable to.

Speaker 2 But don't worry, AI will fix that too. Farmer insurance.
Farmer intelligence is coming next. Farmer intelligence.
Speaking of farmer intelligence

Speaker 2 on Amazon, Clarkson's Farm. Have you gotten on this yet? No, but I've seen it when I've been here in the studio and it's on.
You got to watch Clarkson's Farm.

Speaker 2 Listen, Jeremy Clarkson is not everybody's cup of tea, and I realize that he has said some insensitive things in the past. I don't think it's like,

Speaker 2 well,

Speaker 2 it's for you to determine. I'm not here to opinionate on what Jeremy Clarkson said.
You determine whether or not he said insensitive stuff to you.

Speaker 2 I identify it as insensitive, but I don't think it's like

Speaker 2 certainly in 2025, there's so much worse out there. Yeah.
But I find him to be just kind of a big, lovable lug nut, right? Running around saying stuff.

Speaker 2 It just sometimes doesn't have a filter on his mouth. But this Clarkson's farm is a really fascinating look at what it takes to be a farmer.
Now, Jeremy Clarkson is world famous.

Speaker 2 He has been on BBC forever and ever in a day. Amen.
He's made millions and millions of dollars. He will tell you.
on that show that he does not rely on being a farmer for his income.

Speaker 2 But he has a farm. He's just doing this.
Yeah, he's just doing this because he wanted to be a farmer, right? He got interested in animals and crops and all this other stuff.

Speaker 2 And he has taken to the cause of being a farmer and identifying that it's really difficult to be a farmer. It's very hard.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And that many farmers in England, independent farmers, not talking about huge conglomerate farmers. We're talking about people, you know, make money.
Independent. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Gross a couple million dollars a year, have a thousand or less acres or whatever it is.

Speaker 2 Independent farmers who are out there making our food in England specifically, because that's that's where this is filmed. And Amazon is now on its fourth season of Clarkson's Farm.

Speaker 2 And each year, he gets a little bit more knowledgeable about what he's doing, but he still runs into incredible difficulties.

Speaker 2 There's got to be so many things that can happen. And just, I mean,

Speaker 2 the intricacies of being a farmer, everything from the fence to the animals to the fertilizer to this, that.

Speaker 2 A wrench is needed to do this. I don't know anything.
And it's 24 hours a day. 24 hours a day.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Like, what's fascinating to me is like the first season, no one knows anything about farming, me included. I don't know anything about farming, right? My dad worked in the livestock business.

Speaker 2 So I know a little bit about that, but I don't know the first thing about growing wheat or

Speaker 2 whatever they're growing, you know, all these different things that they have. They're planting different things on different parts of the farm, but either does Jeremy.

Speaker 2 And so he hires this guy, this kid, Caleb, who's like 21 years old at the time when he gets hired.

Speaker 2 Now, Caleb is a star in his own right, like actual star in England, because he's funny, he's engaging, and he has been working on a farm all his life.

Speaker 2 So he comes on as the farm manager to help diddle around. They call it Diddley Squat Farm is the name of the farm.

Speaker 2 They get sheep, they get goats, they get pigs, they get cows, they get, you know, different livestock on the farm to do different things with, and they open up a little farm shop in the back.

Speaker 2 to sell what they are growing.

Speaker 2 I love it. I do need to watch this.
The animals that that they're killing with Jeremy's girlfriend,

Speaker 2 who kind of takes care of the store part of it, like selling the things that they make. But even that is difficult because the local township doesn't want it.

Speaker 2 And there's all these rules that the government makes you play by. And then you have taxes and can you plant this at this time of the year? And how do you take care of the soil?

Speaker 2 And should you use fertilizers or should you use natural aeration methods? Or, you know, at one point, Jeremy says, do I fuck the ground or do I fuck the sky?

Speaker 2 One of those two things, farmers always have to make that decision, right? And he's like, so this time, this year I'm fucking the ground and next year I'll fuck the sky. I'll even it out.

Speaker 2 And it's just the incredible difficulties that are shown in this four seasons of being a farmer, in being a farmer. It's not easy.
No.

Speaker 2 And I realize there are huge, massive, conglomerate farms out there that are making billions of dollars. in the United States, especially, you know, with livestock or corn or whatever it is.

Speaker 2 But I will never look at farming the same way, and I will never look at a farmer. I always thought farming was hard, never thought it was easy, but I never really knew.
And I never really cared.

Speaker 2 All the things, all the little things. Now I care.
Now I'm like, Jesus, thank God for the fucking farmers. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Thank God for the farmers, the guys and the gals who get up on a daily basis, don't sleep, to, you know, watch the sheeps give birth and watch the, make sure the pigs aren't eating their own young, to make sure that the cows are warm in the winter, you know, and to harvest at any given day or night because it's dry enough now in this one hour we have to harvest.

Speaker 2 It's crazy. They have to check the moisture content of their harvest before they harvest it.
They harvest it too soon, then the mill won't want it.

Speaker 2 If they harvest it too late, it won't be good anymore. It's like they have a window of like 12 hours.
And if that 12 hours is at three in the morning, well, it's three in the fucking morning.

Speaker 2 They're out there in their machines harvesting the wheat. It's unbelievable.
Yeah, it's hard work. It's a huge dedication.
And I have a newfound respect for everyone who does this for a living.

Speaker 2 And thank God you're there. And I hope you never leave because we need the food.
We need to eat. You know, I take it when I eat my hot Cheetos.
I take it for granted that those hot Cheetos,

Speaker 2 the Cheeto man, is just delivering me hot Cheetos.

Speaker 2 But I don't take into account all of the raw materials that go into it that somebody's up at three in the morning harvesting Cheeto dust or however you make Cheetos to make that happen.

Speaker 2 Cheetos was the best example. Yeah, I don't know if Cheetos was the best example.
Let's go with blueberries. Blueberries.
There you go. And almonds.
Almonds. Yeah.
Anything, anything you grow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So God bless you, farmers. Here's it.
Hats off to you. TCB is on your side.
I agree. TCB is on your side.

Speaker 2 I actually think we have a couple of farmers who listen to the show because we've gotten texts over the years

Speaker 2 from people who claimed that they were farmers or they were in the farming business.

Speaker 2 So, and then you think about it, all of the people it takes to run a huge farm and how some of them aren't showing up to work anymore. So congratulations to us.
We fucked ourselves.

Speaker 2 Shot ourselves right in the goddamn foot. There's some urban farms down where I live downtown, which I enjoy seeing walking by and there's little goats and they've got all the crops and things.

Speaker 2 I mean, we're talking, it's not a huge

Speaker 2 half an acre or whatever. Yeah, but I appreciate what everybody's going to do in their own part.
Sure. I guess, you know, if we were all smart, we would learn how to grow our own food.

Speaker 2 And I know a lot of people have done that

Speaker 2 or do know how or their parents taught them how or whatever. I wish that I had a green thumb.
I wish I had any thumb whatsoever. I wish I didn't have two, four, five thumbs.

Speaker 2 I wish I did. I wish I could do any of that, but I can't.
I've tried. I kill everything.
The only thing I haven't killed that's green. Ask Chatty.
I could ask Chatty.

Speaker 2 I'm growing some garlic chives in my garden, and I used those last night.

Speaker 2 Garlic chives? Yeah, and I've got this beautiful lavender plant, too.

Speaker 2 Are the chives like intertwined with the garlic, DNA-wise, or is it just the type of chive that it is? It's the type of chive that it is. Very, very interesting.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they've got a little pot of them. Dear Chet GPT.

Speaker 2 Chet T C B, how do you grow opium?

Speaker 2 Because that sounds like a crap that I would be interested in growing. And a pretty one.
Poppies. The poppies are beautiful.
Yeah, but I think they're pretty much illegal to grow.

Speaker 2 I think you can grow them. I think it's the harvesting part that's illegal.
I mean, we have poppy seed bagels, right? Somebody grows poppies, but it's probably not Brian.

Speaker 2 I'd kill it anyway. All right, let's take a break.
I want to talk about Justin Bieber. The Biebs.
The Biebs. All right.
He's back. He's got a new pastor boyfriend.

Speaker 2 All right. So last we left Biebs, he was all up in the petute

Speaker 2 of our good friend Carl.

Speaker 2 Carl... was a mega preacher from a mega church

Speaker 2 known as Hill Song. We all remember Carl.
Up in New York. Yeah, up in New York.
Well, all over the world, really. Well, right, but Carl's was in New York, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think he would travel around, but I think you're right about that, is that like that New York was his quote-unquote home base. Yeah.

Speaker 2 This is the church that we talked about where it's like a club and they have red carpet and a velvet rope. He's got a victory V.
He's got a Victory V. Can't preach on a full dick.

Speaker 2 He was dropping stacks of cash. at young girls' moms' houses to pay them off so they wouldn't talk about his affairs that he was having.

Speaker 2 Listen, and this is all allegedly. You can go listen to Carl's podcast and hear all about it.
He is certainly non-repentant about any of it. But anyway,

Speaker 2 Justin was a big part of this flub-alub with Carl because Justin and Carl became buddy-buddy.

Speaker 2 They were running around playing basketball with their shirt off, calling the paparazzi to take pictures of them. I mean, this is all staged and set up.
You could tell that it was. But okay, whatever.

Speaker 2 Carl needed the people to show up at the church, and Justin wanted people to believe that he was on the good side of the Lord. I suppose

Speaker 2 Justin has had really kind of a string of like a, he got that. Remember, he got bitten by a flea or something? Frozen face.
Frozen face syndrome.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And half of his face wouldn't move for a while. And so he had to cancel a tour back at the beginning of the pandemic because of this.
Apparently, it took a lot of rehab and recovery to get

Speaker 2 better from this.

Speaker 2 And he really hasn't done much since. Well, yeah, I mean, he got married to Haley and they had a baby.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, you haven't heard much from him creatively. You haven't heard much music.
He's been doing a few collabs as of late. He actually showed up on stage with someone.
Was it Scizor? That's right.

Speaker 2 I think he was Sizza. I think so.
I'm not 100% sure about that, but I think it was Sizza. I saw the video.

Speaker 2 And she was kind of like giving him

Speaker 2 hand signals on stage of like what to do, like come here, and then like go back a little bit. Almost like she was reteaching him how to be in front of an audience doing what he does.

Speaker 2 Justin Bieber was discovered at like age 12 on YouTube by, was it Drake?

Speaker 2 Or was it? It wasn't Diddy, was it? I think Diddy jumped on the bandwagon, but I don't think it was.

Speaker 2 Who was it? Because it was. It was someone that was really big.
Was it Ursher?

Speaker 2 Who discovered

Speaker 2 Justin Bieber?

Speaker 2 I think it was Usher, now that I'm thinking about it.

Speaker 2 Well, Scooter Braun

Speaker 2 was one of the first Usher. And Usher and other industry heavyweights got behind him because he was making such a racket on YouTube.

Speaker 2 These young girls were going crazy over this young kid that was singing and dancing online in his mom's house. And Justin Bieber exploded.
He had the hair.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know, that long hair. Swoop over.
And Ellen was all.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Ellen, I think, had a big hand in this. He was always on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
So he became a household name almost overnight.

Speaker 2 So the kid had zero shot of having any kind of normalcy as far as life is concerned. When you're prepubescent and you get rocketed to fame, nothing is the same ever again.

Speaker 2 And you have zero chance of having any kind of normal psyche because you're always being fawned over and chased after, and no one fucking leaves you alone, and you don't know who's your friend, and you probably have a hard time distinguishing what is

Speaker 2 sincerity and what is. As your brain is developing,

Speaker 2 too.

Speaker 2 I am so glad.

Speaker 2 I mean, we are not famous. There is nothing famous about either of Chrissy.
I'm like, we do not get noticed anywhere. No one makes us think about us.

Speaker 2 People know I do the show, and they don't even ask me about it. Like, I mean, we are the furthest thing from famous you could be.
But I will share this.

Speaker 2 If that ever comes, if there ever comes a time we're walking down the street and people say, hey, you know, you guys are from the commercial, right?

Speaker 2 I will have been so glad that it happened late in life and not early in life because I would have been a shithead, a shithead of epic proportions. I probably would have been

Speaker 2 like a drug addict in one of those Dr. Drew rehabs.
Yeah. Many of them are.
So I guess in that sense, we can be glad that Justin's not completely off the rails.

Speaker 2 But as of late, a lot of people have been making noise because a lot of his online social posts are really weird. Weird.
Yeah. He's smoking a lot of pot.
He's making weird noises to the camera.

Speaker 2 He's talking to himself. He's dancing in weird ways.
He's showing up dressed like a homeless person to events that you shouldn't dress like a homeless person to.

Speaker 2 But that's kind of always been, I guess, I guess that's like a bad boy sensibility. Everybody goes through it.
Britney Spears went through it. Christina Aguilera went through it.

Speaker 2 Miley Cyrus went through it.

Speaker 2 Whatever that girl's name is, who's

Speaker 2 what was that girl's name? Who dressed like the alien and then humped to the ground recently? What was her name? Oh my God.

Speaker 2 We were always talking about her. What? The girl that was doing the hair flips.
She was in Disney World trying to sing her song. Jojo Siwa?

Speaker 2 Jojo Siwa. JoJo Siwa is going through it currently.

Speaker 2 You grow up in the public eye. You got to...

Speaker 2 Clearly mark in the sand when you become an adult. So Justin may just be having one of these moments right now where he's like clearly identifying that he's out of that stage and into this stage.

Speaker 2 But he keeps on buddying up to these weird fucking preachers. And now he's buddy-buddy with a guy named Judah Smith,

Speaker 2 who is the pastor of a mega non-denominational Christian church called Church Home. And they have two locations, I believe, one in Washington, one in Seattle, Washington, and one in L.A.

Speaker 2 And much like Carl, this guy is exactly the same. Really? He dresses like a hipster.
He's got a weird mustache.

Speaker 2 He always has, sometimes he has his shirt on button to ungodly, and I say ungodly, I mean not godly

Speaker 2 amounts of chest sticking out and gives these weird like pep talk slash preaches about mostly nothing. He is another Carl.
That's it. He's just another Carl.

Speaker 2 He is Carl 2.0, and Justin is now running around with him to the point where people online, some people, some people with influence, influence, or you might say, in this world, are saying, be careful, dude, you're an occult.

Speaker 2 But I did a little research on Church Home, and here's the kind of church that I like. They only hold services once a month.
Once a month.

Speaker 2 That is awesome.

Speaker 2 I wish I had that church when I was growing up.

Speaker 2 They hold services once a month. Now they do a bunch of online stuff.
He's like a content creator. He does podcasts.

Speaker 2 You got to. But they're going to church once a month.

Speaker 2 And while this like neo-Christian Christianity that a lot of people are observing these days, this like, you know, non-denominational mega church shit, we have one here right near where I live.

Speaker 2 It's huge. Yeah.
It's huge. It's called North Point Church.

Speaker 2 And we got stuck in the traffic the other day. Like we happened to be driving in the back roads going up north somewhere over the weekend on Sunday.

Speaker 2 And we got stuck behind some of these, some of this traffic. We got like in the same street that this church.

Speaker 2 And you have to have have like um directors like oh there were sheriff on yeah yeah on every corner for like two miles there must have been thousands of cars that were coming out of that church i couldn't believe it i was like holy

Speaker 2 this is crazy that this many people now i've heard that some of these mega churches are just big hit hookup institutions like that's where you go if you're single and ready to mingle yeah and you want to meet somebody that's kind of got the same frame of mind, but then let's go out for a couple of beers after church.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying? Let's Let's go for a boozy brunch. Yeah, let's go for a boozy brunch.

Speaker 2 But I do worry about Justin because I don't know. And this is all speculation from Brian's brain.
And I'm not trying to kick the kid while he's down.

Speaker 2 But I think Justin has been through some shit that we just don't know about. He's searching.
Like, I think he went through some shit with Diddy. And I think he went through some shit

Speaker 2 coming up in the super A-list celebrity world. He had to have.
He had to have.

Speaker 2 That just normal people don't ever see. Don't ever, they're not ever faced with these choices or these consequences or the things that happen.

Speaker 2 And now Justin is desperately trying to glom on to someone who can give him some kind of direction somewhere.

Speaker 2 But those kind of people, in those kind of moments, like if you're in that psyche and you have that kind of

Speaker 2 weird, vulnerable mentality, you can get sucked in easily to people who want to manipulate them for their own good.

Speaker 2 Does it not do Church Home a whole bunch of fucking good to have their lead pastor have an association with Justin the Biebs Bieber? Of course it does. Ellen Generis knew it.
P. Diddy knew it.

Speaker 2 Ursher knew it. They knew it.
They all knew that Justin was the thing that was hot. And if they glommed onto him, it would up their brand five inches, right? It's very transactional.

Speaker 2 All of it's very transactional. And I do feel bad for Beebs.
And so I'm offering this once and one time only.

Speaker 2 You can come to my house.

Speaker 2 We will have TC Bhab,

Speaker 2 just like rehab, but the TCB Hab. You can come here.
You can sit here with Chrissy and I while we do the show, and we will slowly pull you out of whatever phase you're going through, inch by inch.

Speaker 8 Yeah, let's talk.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 we'll make a little farm. We're going to make a little farm.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Barkston's farm.
We're going to have Blue out there.

Speaker 2 Barkston's Farm. Barkston's Farm.
Barkston's Farm. Blue is going to be the farm manager.

Speaker 2 And we don't want anything from you, Justin, except for one social media post every hour. That's it.
That's it. It's not a big exchange.

Speaker 2 It's a little bit of return for some good we're going to do you. So, Justin, my offer stands.

Speaker 2 I'm only going to say it once. I know you're listening.
TCB Hab is here for you. And Barkston's Farm is right out back.

Speaker 2 I've got dragonflies. Yes, you do.
Everything's a bee. I've got Carver bees.

Speaker 2 I've got lots of weeds, some of which might be digestible by human beings. I'll bring over my garlic chives.
Yes, garlic chives. Chrissy's got garlic chives.

Speaker 2 Your breath will smell so bad the paparazzi won't want to be around you. Okay?

Speaker 2 This is the place you need to be.

Speaker 2 I know this.

Speaker 2 I know it seems like we're offering a lot of. No one will suspect you here either.
No, remember last time you were in Atlanta? Everything went great.

Speaker 2 People ran you out of town. You poor bastard.
They really did run him out of town. That was crazy.

Speaker 2 Other rich people in Atlanta, Justin Bieber, wasn't good enough to hang around.

Speaker 2 I never understood it. I mean, leave the poor kid alone.

Speaker 2 I guess I do understand it when you got traffic and paparazzi and all that other stuff. But I mean, you know, everyone's living in their gilded lilies.
Like, do you really? They're gilded lilies.

Speaker 2 Everyone's living in a gilded lily. Do you really

Speaker 2 that bothered that there's a couple extra cars down the street taking pictures? They're not worried about you. I think that's what made people mad is that they didn't get all the attention.

Speaker 2 Oh, it could be. Yeah, well, fuck you.
