On this episode of the Commercial Break,

think it keeps in a certain amount of chi, energy, testosterone, stuff like that.

And I can understand why this gets in people's heads.

I can understand why athletes gets in an athlete's head.

Like, boxers are notorious for going a month before they have a big fight with no sex and they get all raged up and all that.

But, you know, for guys,

I know that sex is different and it's very physical.

And it's, you know, there's a lot of energy that comes with release.

And, you know, you should see my stupid face when I make an orgasm i look like a muppet

i really do i i can't even imagine i don't want to know i i've never videotaped myself because i don't think i don't need to know that's right

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 temporary co-host of the commercial break, Tina.

Best to you, Tina.

Best to you, Brian.

And best to you out there in the podcast universe.

Tina joining us as it's menfo time here at the commercial break.

We all get very excited.

I don't get very excited that Chrissy's gone.

I get very excited for Chrissy that she gets to go and have a vacation that I so desperately want.

It's jealous.

It's jealousy, not excitement, it's jealousy.

She gets the party and the time off.

She gets the party and the time off.

She gets to stay at a nice hotel.

She gets to run around with Jeff, meeting famous people and hanging out.

Of course, I did.

I met a few famous people while she wasn't here, too.

I had the opportunity to talk to Sal sal volcano what a great guy yesterday i will preview this um because i i would like to yesterday i had an opportunity to talk to larry the cable guy

and when i talked to larry the cable guy i

i didn't know what to expect like i don't you know larry the cable guy i know him of course we all know him blue collar comedy the whole thing and But we also know him around here as the voice of Mater.

Toe Mater.

Toe Mater from Cars.

So I'll preview this because I won't be able to play it actually in the episode because it's got the names of my children and I don't prefer to give that out on air.

But at the end of the conversation, before I'm trying, you know, I'm trying to wrap it up.

And he goes, wait, just one more thing.

He goes, tell me the name of your kids.

And so I give him the name of the kids because I told him how much they were fans of cars.

And he did a whole fucking bit as Mater

on his microphone.

Absolutely.

For my children.

That's so cool.

I am so filled with joy about this.

You don't understand.

Astron must think I'm a total goober because I ran around the house all day yesterday, texting family members, like, I'm the dad of the year.

Look at what happened.

And all of a sudden, it's me.

I did it.

He took the time to do that for my children.

And when I let them listen to it, I got the car, like the car's toys out and I said, you know this one?

And then I did it.

And they were just like, oh.

The real mater?

And I'm like, the real mater.

What a dude.

I mean, what a dude.

So many people I've known, I have heard through the grapevine that he's a very nice guy.

Could not have been more pleasant.

And he just did that out of the kindness of his heart.

I didn't even ask him to do that.

So

that interview coming up next week.

We'll run that interview next week.

So Chrissy can go ahead and meet Widespread Panic.

Chrissy can go ahead and meet Widespread.

I got voice memos from Mader.

Mater.

Nice guy.

Anyway.

Love it.

So I am gleefully now through with the second episode of Seeking Sister Wives.

Ooh, you're ahead of me.

I am ahead of you.

Are you going to watch it?

I am.

Do you have you watched the other seasons?

I have.

Okay.

So we know Garrick and his wife.

I can't remember her name.

What's her name?

Garrick and

Garrick's the only one I remember because, quite frankly, anytime Garrick comes on screen, I can't get past Garrick to get to his wife because Garrick has got to be the dumbest motherfucker I have ever met in my entire life.

And his wife might be number two.

And I'd like to think that Garrick is not, Garrick's wife is not kind of this, like,

I don't know, Tina.

Let me play the clip and then you tell me.

And by the way, this is probably one of the smarter things this guy has said in the six seasons of Seeking Sister Wives.

And I'm about to play you something that is just as dumb.

We will discuss it after this.

Just as dumb as I have.

I can't believe he said this.

Hold on.

You ready?

I'm ready.

Okay.

Let's see here.

Here we go.

Heartfelt, serious question that you and her.

Okay, wait.

Now let me probably, I gotta, I gotta make sure that we understand.

Okay.

Garrick and his wife, they have been seeking his sister wife for five years, six seasons.

Every season, it's a new fucking girl.

Right.

Because none of it works out.

They're always Brazilian.

They always take his money.

and then don't show up to come live with them.

Because let's face it, Garrick is a real fucking oddball.

He's a kooky.

Like, I don't care about his religion, but the stuff that he believes because of his religion is insanity.

He believes, as of because I heard it last season, he believes that when a man

donates sperm to a woman inside her vagina via sex, that her DNA changes to reflect.

Yes, I have heard this.

You've heard this?

Yes, he's not alone.

This cannot be true.

Unfortunately.

Is it true?

It's not true, but it is true that other people do believe this.

Okay, I'm just making sure that I'm not speaking completely out of turn here because everything that I know from my little education that I've had tells me that there is no way that your DNA permanently changes because sperm is inside of you.

Nope.

If that's the case.

Mine would have changed.

Yes.

If that's the case, then I have changed a lot of women for the worse.

I mean, imagine what crimes we could get away with if our DNA changed every time we had a deposit.

Yes, every girl I've ever slept with could commit a crime and she'd have my DNA all up inside her, changing her forever.

He said this on a national, nationally televised show.

It blows my mind.

He is the dumbest motherfucker on earth.

He's got to be.

He looks like the dumbest motherfucker on earth.

Okay.

So now they're on season number six.

We've met a new wife,

another fucking Brazilian, and they're bringing her back to the United States on the K-1 visa.

They got approved.

She's coming in.

He's explaining how they went through the courting process via the internet and a couple of visits.

So he's saying that, you know, I already went through, you know, I talked to her.

I asked her lots of questions.

Like you and her, me and her, especially because I knew she had a passing.

and she had some men treat her really bad and

i mean

they found that after women usually around five men that they just can't like bond anymore

what

after a woman has like five different partners the chances of her bonding or even having a lasting relationship drops like hold

crazy amount like

just percentage-wise like that's the sperm it's just the spermi inside of her changes yeah

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

What?

What?

After five sperm injections, you can no longer bond with other humans.

You've turned in, you've gone full reptilian.

How did I not know this?

I don't know.

Somebody should have warned me.

Are we even friends, Tia?

Well, my DNA has changed multiple times at this point.

Can you even connect with me?

This

is a sorrow.

You turn into Rain Woman after the fifth?

Right?

Yeah.

Is he

does he get abducted by aliens at night?

Like, what?

Where did this come from?

The look on his face,

just like the normal resting look on Garrick's face, tells me that there's something is not happening in his brain.

Yeah, things aren't connecting.

The synapses are broken somewhere.

The dumb shit that Garrick, Garrick absorbs in his mind, which podcasts are you listening to?

My mother didn't love him enough.

And his wife sits there.

She She has a look on her face.

She looks dumbfounded.

She looks dumbfounded, but she never corrects him.

Like, hey, Garrick, that's not true.

No, she agrees with him.

Are they fundamentalists?

They're some kind of wackadoo religion.

I'm sure of it.

They live out in the mountains.

You know, this whole thing,

it's just unbelievable to me.

What some people choose to believe.

If you did any homework whatsoever, you would understand that the amount of sperm in your uterus has nothing to do with your ability to be

an emotionally connected human being.

That's not true.

That's too weird.

Remember that girl who just had sex with 100 guys in 24 hours?

That poor girl, she's never going to bond with anybody again.

She's just going to ascend at some point.

She's going to walk the streets like a robot, just disconnected from humanity.

What the fuck is going on?

Wild.

It's wild.

This is wild.

It's wild.

And thank God TLC is here to document all of you.

I need it, yeah.

And let us know quickly i need this type of distraction in my life ah i just i i feel somebody said that to my face i i don't know how the cameraman kept his composure while filming this scene he said what that's like the little

like they they had the text on the bottom and it says producer what exclamation point question mark yes i would not have been able to keep quiet either oh my god these people are insane i could barely keep quiet while you were playing the clip i know it's to

when i watched it, I had to watch it again.

I had to watch it again.

I had to watch it again.

I was actually just about to take a little snick snack nap, you know?

Yeah.

And then I had it on in the background, and my eyes just popped right open.

And I was like, Let me mind that.

Did I, am I just dreaming that?

That he said that dumb shit.

Last year, he said, sperm changes your DNA.

This year, he's on to five women, five men.

Sperm prevents you from connecting emotionally with other human beings.

Hey, listen.

I mean, if I'm good for your your skin, great for your hair, bad for relationships.

It's the only substance on earth with negative calories, but it changes the way you think.

And your whole DNA strand.

Yeah, that's right.

Hey, listen, far be it from me to deny, you know, what

I'm going to go homicidal and make sure I have sex first.

Peter, Luke, or Paul said in the 5th Corinthians or some shit like that.

Unbelievable.

I mean, let me

just, I'm just going to make sure here.

Let me ask Chad Chat TCB real quick.

Hold on.

Oh, good old Chatty.

Hey, chat.

Exclamation point.

I heard that a woman's DNA changes when a man

ejaculates inside of her, period.

Could this possibly be true?

Question mark.

Nope.

Did Chatty say nope?

Chat said nope.

Yes.

Yeah.

Okay.

Where this idea comes from.

This idea comes from telogeny, an ancient belief that a woman's later children might inherit traits from previous

partners.

However, modern genetics, like since the 19th century, has proved this to be untrue.

Rarely, cells from a fetus can remain in a mother's body for decades.

That's real, but it comes from pregnancy, not in her.

Yes, from a fetus.

That's different than from a man.

It's not, yeah.

Okay.

Or from sperm.

But the same person told me that after five sexual partners, a woman can no longer bond with a man.

Dot, dot, dot.

Is that true?

Question mark.

Nope.

This chat's going to start thinking I'm a real dipshit.

We don't want to know what my chat is going to start thinking.

This is another absolute myth.

The idea that a a certain number of sexual partners makes a woman not bond anymore is something you'll see in certain religious or red pill spaces, of course.

Bonding is psychological, not biological.

Oxytocone versus vesbestrin, whatever that is.

These hormones are released during sex and intimacy and they help build closeness.

But there's no counter in the body that runs.

There's no counter, not counter, counter in the body that runs.

Good for you.

Hang on, body.

This is number 10.

We've got to.

dink.

Yeah.

Dink.

Like rings on a tree.

That's right.

Well, thank you for clarifying that.

Dot, dot, dot.

Just to be clear, I never believed that was true, period.

I'm just entertaining myself.

Cause I don't want, you know, I have this.

I've trained chat to like me.

Yeah.

I appreciate you saying that.

If you want to dig, if you want, I can dig up the most outrageous fake science sex and relationship myths.

Oh, yes.

Please.

Please do that.

Okay, let's do that.

I love that chat's so helpful and offers

next steps.

Well, it knows that I have a podcast.

So, you know, it started giving me this like daily digest.

Do you have chat?

I don't know because I pay for like the

big version or whatever, the premium version.

It started giving me this daily digest.

And it's like, you know, hey, I looked at all of your bits from the commercial break, and I have an idea on how you can put some of these together for a crab apple, you know, supercut.

You want me to show you?

And it's like, oh, wow.

Okay.

Yeah, I i do want you to do that yeah yeah and then it was like hey i heard you interviewed i i know that you interviewed margaret cho there's some inf interesting information coming out about her you want an update and so i'm like oh that's cool you know um yeah chatty's my best friend here's some here's some of the myths a woman absorb okay we already talked about that one um

Men think about sex every

seven seconds.

Now, we've all heard this.

Yes.

It's likely you heard this from a science teacher

giving giving you sex education.

Yeah.

But obviously that is untrue.

And I know it just from being a man.

I mean,

there were certain periods in my life where I was oversexed, for sure.

I was thinking about it a lot, but it wasn't every seven seconds.

It was every two seconds.

Guys are basically sex robots.

That's the claim.

But the truth is, studies show men do think about sex more than women, but not every seven seconds, more like a few times a day.

Here's another one.

You can tell somebody's sexual activity by the size or shape of their genitalia.

The claim is that vaginas get loose after they have more sex.

The truth is, muscles stretch temporarily, but return to baseline.

No permanent partner count signature.

Can I see your partner count signature?

Do you mind?

What's your counter at?

What's my counter at?

Oh, okay.

I'm not asking.

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

Don't go there.

Blue balls is a medical emergency.

I always hated this.

I always hated this because even amongst my friends' group, I would call it out as a bullshit

claim to get to urgently get off or have someone help them get off.

And I understand that when you reach close to climax and you don't, there's some frustration and it can be physically uncomfortable for a few minutes.

But blue balls is not a thing.

Your balls don't turn blue.

The sperm doesn't go back in rotten.

It's not like it came out, sat out.

It's not like eggs.

It didn't sit out for two days and go back in.

If it didn't come out, it didn't come out.

It's okay.

It's still there, right?

It's uncomfortable, but it's harmless.

Relief comes with time or with release.

No testicles in history have exploded.

Thanks, Chad.

Thanks, Chad.

It's a great teenage excuse to pressure for sex or release.

And I have always known this.

And if you are a friend of mine and you have tried to use that whole fucking shit, then you know I have called it out for forever because I just think it's ridiculous.

Sex before sports drains performance.

Science shows that no consistent effect, though some athletes, some athletes are shown to even perform better after sex because it reduces stress.

These are old school coaches

perpetuating this myth, essentially.

Yeah, they want you frustrated on the field.

They think it keeps in a certain amount of cheese, energy, testosterone, stuff like that.

And I can understand why this gets in people's heads.

I can understand why athletes get in an athlete's head.

Like, boxers are notorious for going, like, you know, a month before they have a big fight with no sex and they get all raged up and all that.

But, you know,

for guys,

I know that sex is different and it's very physical.

And it's, you know, there's a lot of energy that comes with release.

And, you know, you should see my stupid face when I make an orgasm.

I look like a Muppet.

I really do.

I can't even imagine.

I don't want to know.

I've never videotaped myself because

things I don't need to know.

That's right.

But I will share that energy can be mutated.

It can be sent somewhere else.

You can get over it.

I've never known anyone to be raged up from lack of sex.

It's just ridiculous.

It's another excuse for whatever it is that's going on in your life that you cannot control or don't have, can't put a camera.

You can't help for permission.

Yeah, permitting bad behavior.

Bad behavior.

That's right.

And as men, we should call it out when it comes up.

When you're in the locker room or, I mean, I'm not, and I haven't been in the locker room in 80 years.

I don't want to.

Yes.

That's leave me too.

I don't want to show my ping pang.

I'm old.

My balls hang down to my knees.

Who wants to see that?

I think that as guys, as good men, right?

As men, but as good men,

we should call that shit out when we hear it.

We should say, that's just not, you know, stop it.

That's enough.

Yeah, you're upset because your feelings are hurt or something, and now you got blue balls, and you gotta go jizz all over everybody, or else you're gonna die.

Fuck you, come on, get over it.

Um,

let's see, you can get pregnant from a toilet seat.

Oh, gosh, not this crap.

Tell me, a lot of these myths are just like not, they're just not out there anymore.

I've heard this, they try to scare you, they try and scare you.

Yeah, and I'm sure this comes from

some sex education in a cat.

underground.

Cat the boys in the girls' room because they're going to jizz all over the seats.

Yeah, by the way, little girls are going to be pregnant.

Like, what are you talking about?

Which guys are jizzing all over the seats?

I mean, I'm sure it happens, but

where women are going to sit.

Yes.

Why are you guys going into the jizz room?

Like, you know what I'm saying?

The jizz room.

Listen, settle down on this one, too.

We don't want to, the thing about myths and legends is they lead to worse behavior.

They lead to

the dumbing down of America.

I'd like to think that this isn't out there, but

you're almost guaranteed.

Well, if this guy's on TV right now in 2025 talking about you can't bond after five partners, then it's clearly rampant.

There are teenagers out there who are currently not sitting on toilet seats because they think there's a jizz box somewhere that's going to get their pranks.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

This came from one woman who had an affair and got pregnant.

I must have sat on a toilet.

I must have sat on a toilet seat.

I slipped and fell on a jiz seat.

I don't know.

Oh, it was yours.

And the sperm jumped into my uterus.

Those sperm.

They're all over the place.

Look at those little nasty jazz.

Just waiting.

Yeah.

Bigger feet equal bigger penis.

Shoe size predicts penis size is the claim.

However, studies show that there is zero correlation.

Big shoes equal big shoes.

And

there goes any game I ever.

I got big feet.

So there goes any game.

I think it's big hands, big penis.

Isn't that it?

Big hands, big penis.

Yeah.

I've always said.

Hands and feet.

I think if you have big feet and small hands, that's even more awkward.

Yeah, that's weird.

That's just weird.

I can think of one national treasure that has small feet.

I mean, big feet and small hands.

Are they big feet?

Oh, they're big ankles.

Yeah, cankles are big.

They're big cankles.

That's right.

Speaking of cankles and our national treasure, man, do we have a lot to dig into?

We have gone the extra mile.

Tina went the extra mile.

Oh.

Watched Blame It on Real, which we were talking about yesterday.

And let it be her and not me.

Thank God.

It's good.

I don't want to get called out on that.

I don't know why I started my day with it, but.

Tina and I, I want to be real sensitive around this topic, too, but I think we can have a fun discussion without getting too crazy or gross.

Yesterday, I interluded when we were breaking down that Zahn video that I had seen a reel about a movie called Blame It Unreal with Michael Caine, Michelle Johnson, and some other actors of the time.

This is back in the early, early 80s, 1981.

Jeffrey Bologna.

Jeffrey Bologna.

Bologna.

Yeah, 1984 was the release date.

Okay.

And it is a movie where two best friends go on holiday with their daughters that are supposedly 17 years old at the time.

And they then spend the rest of the movie naked.

And apparently, the two girls who played the two teenagers were 17 at the time.

Michael Caine was 52, gross, disgusting.

He was 52 years old at the time.

And then the plot of the movie is that Michael Caine sleeps with his best friend's daughter.

He's in love with her.

And he sleeps with her.

She's in love with him.

But yes, he sleeps with her.

Yeah.

Many times.

That and this movie, by the way, is on Amazon fucking prime.

Unbelievable.

I expected to have to pay $3.99.

Nope.

Just right there, ready to go.

Yeah.

And

maybe after the break, what I'll do is I'll pull up the Rotten Tomatoes comments, even though it's got a 7%.

Did you read some of those comments?

Oh, I had enough.

The movie was enough.

Yeah, I could only imagine.

I could only imagine.

I simply Googled Blame It on Rio.

And the images were like there wasn't an image that didn't have nudity.

I just had to investigate her actual age because Demi Moore plays her best friend, the other, Jeffrey Bologna's daughter.

Oh, really?

Yeah, Demi Moore's

the other teenage girl.

And how old is she when the movie is made?

I did not look at her because you only see her topless

like once and her hair covers.

Most of her boobs?

Yeah.

All of it.

You just see the under.

I don't even know what to think about this, but we'll get into it as gingerly as we can because there is a long history of minors in these movies.

Not recently, I don't think, but of minors in these movies.

Blue Lagoon.

I mean, we can just go back to all of it.

And a lot of these movies are still available.

You can just go watch them.

Just go watch them today.

And my question is, not about art versus sexuality versus whatever.

No, I don't know.

You know, Blue Lagoon is not an overly sexed movie, but a 14-year-old Brooke Shields is nude in the entire movie, as is her co-star, who I think was 17 at the time, too.

So let's let's not let the boys go unnoticed, too.

Well, we'll talk about blaming on Rio just a little bit more after we take a break.

It's uh Menfo week, just in case anybody's wondering why Tina's here and Chrissy's not.

Don't think Chrissy went anywhere, she just a menfo, yeah, just a menfo.

And Chrissy and I didn't get enough, we didn't record enough episodes to get through the entire break.

So we're Tina has graciously substitute teaching, substitute teacher.

Okay, we're back and we're talking about a highly sensitive subject.

So just know that we're not doing this with any joy in our hearts.

We just, it's just something that I think is interesting.

So blame it on Rio.

We talked about this movie yesterday and then Tina finds it on Amazon Prime and you watch the entire thing.

The whole thing.

Okay.

I don't know how, but I do.

Give us the lowlights because I don't think there's any highlights.

Give us the lowlights.

Two men going on vacation to Rio de Janeiro with their two daughters.

One of them is going through a divorce.

That would be...

Michael Caine?

No, the other one.

Michael Caine is not going through a divorce.

He's the one who has the affair with the 17-year-old.

Michelle Johnson.

Yes.

It's who played this young lady.

Beautiful young girl, but young girl.

17 years old.

Yep, 17 years old.

17 in the movie, 17 in real life.

And her character is the aggressor.

Okay.

And that's very creepy.

Super creepy.

Because 17-year-old girls don't run around doing that.

It's very unnatural.

I don't think 17-year-old girls pursue their best friend's father.

Not at 17, at least.

And they run around topless on the beach with their daddies who they still call daddy.

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.

Yeah, I'm not going topless with my dad and my uncle.

Not even at 45 years.

Like, it's just never going to happen.

Listen, I am friends with a bunch of hippie-dippy types, right?

And nudity is the roux of the day.

And when we've been to like parties in the woods and stuff,

there are daughters of men that are there that are nude.

But I would say that they're at least in my immediate circle,

I wasn't super familiar with these human beings.

And those girls were over 18 years old, if not over 21 years old, number one.

Number two, there's like a monocum of respect about the fact.

Right.

These are the daughters of other people in the crowd.

I mean, everyone's a dog.

Like, they're there.

Their family is there.

Be mindful.

Right.

Right.

About this.

It just seems like this is an ill-conceived movie from the beginning, even at 1980, even in 1985.

Oh,

it fulfilled somebody's sickness.

Yes.

Now, listen to this.

Listen to this.

I'm just going to stop there.

On the reel, you saw the part that I saw.

You saw a part that I saw, which was Michael Caine is in bed.

With Michelle Johnson, who is 17 years old at the time in real life and 17 years old in the movie.

Michael Caine is 52 or whatever he is.

And he says to her, I remember the first time I kissed you.

It was your bottom.

When your mom was powdering your bottom.

Your mom was powdering your bottom.

I'm going to be the first man to kiss it.

And he kissed her naked baby's bottom.

And they keep that in the fucking movie.

It's still in the movie.

Is this just a reason for Michael Caine, the directors, the writers, the producers, to get on set with a bunch of young naked girls?

I think so.

And get them in bed.

And it worked.

It worked.

I don't know how he took the role or how his agent let him take the role.

I have no idea.

I mean, I know Michael Caine is, you know,

like, I understand Michael Caine's career is not as illustrious as, you know, Anthony Hopkins or Harrison Ford or whatever, but he has recently been in every one of those fucking interstellar, you know, all those movies, interstellar.

Is he still alive?

Just doing some math in my head.

I don't know.

Let's find out how old he is.

When does he turn 100 this year?

He must turn 100 this year.

Michael

Kane,

age.

Okay, he's 92.

So that was 30, 40 years ago.

He was 52.

He was 52 when that movie came out.

Ideos Mio.

Ideos Mio.

And so

they're definitely obsessed with the sexuality of this particular blonde girl, the dad,

exclaims that he does not have his daughter on the pill.

Michael Caine is now worried that he's gotten the child pregnant.

Yes, it's all in the it's it's in the movie.

No shit.

You didn't put your, we put, he talks about how they put Jemi Moore's character.

We put her on right away.

Why are who talks about this?

Openly like this.

And then apparently the daughter had made some pact that she would call her dad before she had sex with a boy.

And she didn't call her dad before he had sex with his best friend.

Michael Caine's like, but what if she was on the beach?

And she's begging Michael Caine the whole time to tell dad about the affair.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

The whole movie is so, it's just so bizarre.

It's giving me chills.

I told you, I still feel weird from it.

I want to like say, I am not approved by any stretch of the imagination.

I am no like daddy dugo.

No, me either.

But I have daughters.

And they're, and I just, like something I like, the protective nature in me comes out.

Yeah.

When I even hear the storyline, like, what, how I would murder my best friend is what I'm thinking if he decided to have an affair with my daughter at any age, let alone underage.

And here's a little factoid that Christine that

Tina and I learned during the break.

The other girl, the other child, is Demi Moore.

And Demi Moore was 14 years old when she filmed this movie.

14 years old.

And she is also topless in this movie.

How is this even still on Prime?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Why did I watch it?

There are parents that get arrested for putting pictures of their children in baths

on Facebook.

Yes.

That's right.

Amazon is just...

Where was Demi's mom in all of this?

Like, this is crazy.

I have no idea.

Listen, this is just a long line in a history of women and men who have basically hoarded their children out to Hollywood.

And they don't do anything to protect them on the opposite.

They oversexualize them.

It happened famously with Brookshields is like the most famous example of this.

Yeah, that is.

As her mom just basically fed her to the wolves and did not care.

She was also 14 years old when she started doing like hyper-sexual Calvin Klein ads.

There's a movie out, a lifetime documentary, I think, or an HBO documentary or something about Brooke Shields and that time period in her life when she was like famously nine or ten years old.

Was she topless in gas ads when she was a minor, too?

She was topless, yes.

She was topless when she was a minor, 14 years old.

But go back even further, nine or ten years old.

There was a famous photographer who took a bunch of new photographs of her with makeup on.

And like in these, there, I wouldn't.

That's so.

Yeah, I don't even think you can see the real photographs anymore.

Obviously, I think they've been scrubbed online, but you can see ones with the blacked out version of it.

And the amount of makeup that she has on on in those, it's just disturbing.

And her mom

at the time defended it as fine art, right?

It's fine art.

It's not fine art.

It's the hypersexualization of children.

And for money and fame and wealth and post, you know, and to get her daughter.

Like, I can understand you want your daughter to be rich and famous and all that good stuff, but at what expense?

At what cost?

Yeah.

At what cost?

Brooke Shields has now spent a lifetime trying to kind of scrub that part of her life from her mind and from everybody else's mind.

And she had no say in the matter.

None.

At nine or 10 years old.

You don't have any say in that.

If your mom says it's okay, you're doing it, right?

That's just what you do.

And so, and then that the movie Blue Lagoon, which we've all seen, it has run on fucking basic cable.

It does every year somewhere on basic cable.

America loves that movie.

I just don't.

I'm sorry.

I don't like it.

I have never liked it.

It's hard to watch.

Yeah.

First of all, there's very little dialogue.

It's kind of boring.

Who cares?

They're on an island, whatever.

Blah, blah, blah.

But I think we could have gotten the point with some clothing on, too.

We could have gotten the point with a couple of palm leaves over the kids.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

We didn't need to have full penis and bushes.

Adam and Eve for crying out loud.

I know.

For God's sakes.

Okay, you ready?

You want to hear some of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes?

Okay.

By the way, 7% on Rotten Tomatoes.

7%.

At least the majority of people have their heads screwed on straight.

Rotten tomato reviews.

I'm going to call these guys out by name.

Michael L says, I don't understand the negative reviews here.

I've watched this movie since the 80s and I've always enjoyed watching it.

Sure, it's creepy, but it's not like it's a super forbidden topic.

These kind of things happen all the time.

Get your head out of your ass.

Michael L, where have you seen this happening?

Yeah, Michael L, who's who's

where do you hang out?

Whose best friend's daughter are you sleeping with?

Thank you very much.

I'm glad I don't know who you are.

Someone find Michael L and do a welfare check on him.

Stephen R.

is.

These reviews remind me of how puritanical our society has become to protect children from the auspices of grown-ass adults.

Like yourself, sir.

Like yourself.

Yes.

Well, at least Haywood says, worst music I've ever heard in a movie.

It's pretty terrible.

It's pretty terrible.

Of all the things things he could say too, he says, it's absolutely bizarre how the director feels the need to put a tropical bird in every scene in the movie.

Also, very strange.

Yes.

And they're just sitting there.

They're never really doing anything.

It's awkward.

Here's, I want you to find Kirk on this one, guys.

You ready?

I have over 500 movies, and I bought this because I remember it playing on HBO exactly 40 years ago this week.

Why did you put that on your calendar?

Why do you remember that?

Yes.

Unless you're a rain man, I'm really worried about that.

Or Michael Caine or Jeffrey Bologna.

Yeah, Jeffrey Bologna.

By the way, this was just written a couple of days ago.

And it says, it's the tail end of the early 80s.

Movie nudity, but the girls are all stunning.

I think the problem people have with this is that the star is 17 years old, but she's perfect, physically perfect.

Why not?

I am shocked at the low rating.

I give it a five out of five on the creepy, Gen X, Shameless, Man Scale.

Someone check on you, Kirk.

I mean, honestly, that's just weird, weird, dude.

This movie is a hidden gem full of laughs.

And given all of this stupid sensitivity around sexuality these days, some will find it a bit creepy, but everything is a fairy tale in this one.

And the real world is a reality.

A fairy tale.

Okay, so,

you know, the guy's not divorced.

The other daughter is now worried about all this whole situation because she's like, wait a minute, what's going on?

So she calls.

Yes.

And the wife shows up in Rio.

She's having an affair with

the father of the daughter that's sleeping with her husband.

No.

So now

he has grounds now to say, get off your high horse.

I may have slept your daughter, but you're fucking my wife.

This is the, this sounds like a, how did this even pass?

How did anyone ever decide to put money into this movie?

It's like, it sounds like the worst script.

It would be interesting.

It was a catastrophe if there were adults involved in it.

Then you could maybe make it and had some comedy along the way.

Right.

Then it would be.

But these were 30-year-old girls, you know?

Yes.

I have to be honest: the first 20 reviews are all from men who find this to be not problematic because the girls are beautiful.

That's not the issue.

And I understand.

What is the difference between a 17 and an 18-year-old?

I don't know.

I don't know what this is.

She can go to jail now.

Yeah.

But somebody should have gone to jail on her behalf.

That's correct.

For this.

The difference to me is just allowing children to be children

and unmolested by a certain type of energy that you are permitting for as long as possible.

And I'm not saying that should be until 25.

I don't know the answers to all that.

I don't have those answers.

And of course, some kids are more mature than others.

And of course, some kids are more physically mature than others.

But there is a line in the sand.

We have drawn it as a society.

For a reason, that's correct.

And for a reason, right?

And

I think we would be well suited to try our best to just let kids be kids to the last possible moment when we have to let them in on this shitty fucking situation that's going on here.

And that shitty situation is Michael Caine's wrinkly ass penis.

They're going to be sexualized soon enough.

Let me not be part of that.

Yes, let me not be part of it.

Well, now you've done it.

You've streamed it.

Now Michael Caine's getting a check in the mail.

0.7 cents.

Tina.

I hope that when he dies, Michelle Johnson gets all of his royalties.

Well, I hope Michelle Johnson is getting royalties.

You know, that's the other thing.

Back in the 80s, kids were treated so miserably in the industry.

They probably still.

Her mom got him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Her mom got him and probably gave her nothing.

There was like that child labor law came into be, I think, in the 90s or something like that.

I don't know.

We'll ask Corey Feldman next time.

Changing subjects altogether, Corey Feldman is an absolute lunatic that I am so excited about.

I love that you follow him because I don't, so I get updates whenever you

he has put out some new video, the AI video.

He's putting out new music.

People.

Oh, more music?

Yeah.

Like, I think I just can't understand whether or not this is a Kaufman situation or are we watching the world's biggest bonehead run around thinking he knows more than we do?

Like, is he really in belief of his own talents?

Or is he punking everybody?

Or is he punking everybody?

Or is it a a little mix of both?

Like, he believes in his own talents, but he understands people, you know, are.

He gets that he's the joke.

He gets that he's the joke.

I hope it's a little of both.

I hope so, too, for Corey Feldman's own insanity's sake.

But I bring up child acting to say that, you know,

Corey

has notoriously been outspoken about abuse of minors inside of the Hollywood industry.

He's called a lot of people out by name.

He's called a lot of people out on behalf of his former best friend, Corey Haim, out.

One of those people people was Charlie Sheen.

He said that Charlie had, you know, assaulted Corey Haim, that Corey Haim had told him that.

But I found an interesting reel, and I'd like your thoughts on it.

Maybe we'll take a break and get the thoughts

in the background.

There is a growing contingent of people who believe that Michael Jackson may have been wrongly accused the entire time of indecent situations with children.

I don't know how much I believe that.

I think there's kind of a mountain of evidence that Michael Jackson was a little weird with kids.

But there are some people out there who are getting a little louder about their defense of him.

And one of the things that they are using,

one of the kind of hooks they're putting in the mountain to pull themselves up and talk about this is that Corey Feldman

and

now I can't remember his name, the kid from Home Alone,

have both vehemently defended Michael Jackson, denied that he ever did anything wrong with children, and both of them have also been loudly outspoken about other predators inside the industry.

So they're like, why just defend Michael Jackson?

Wouldn't, you know, if you're going to let the cat out of the bag, say it all.

Now, they could just be doing that because they love Michael Jackson.

They don't want it to be true.

They weren't the targets.

They weren't the victims, but other people were.

But, you know, I don't know.

It's an interesting conversation to have.

Listen, Michael Jackson was a weird motherfucker.

Agreed.

Weird motherfucker.

He had a very weird upbringing as well.

So, you know, that just, the industry just creates weirdos.

I agree.

Especially the earlier you get into it, the more likely you are to become a weirdo.

He had a crazy fucking father.

Crazy.

Beat the shit out of all of them.

Massively abusive.

Massively abusive.

Addicted.

Terrible human being.

Just well known to be a terrible human being.

Yep, pimping his kids out.

Pimping his kids out.

Just like, you know, Brooke Shields' mom.

Yep.

And then Michael, one of the youngest of the brood.

the youngest oh his youngest i think janet was the youngest oh of the boys of the boys youngest of the boys um and then the then the boys were also abusive too and they were you know having sex with women like in the same bed where michael was just like a weird upbringing and i think he encased himself in this childlike personality he never got to have one he never got to have one yeah he was having it later in life yes and i think in my heart that's what that's all i'm comfortable believing about him okay all right.

Fair enough.

He was just a weirdo.

It didn't make him nefarious.

He was a weirdo.

And for some of my childhood, Michael Jackson was the

introduction to pop music.

Oh, yeah, me too, for sure.

And probably my first musical obsession, Michael Jackson, right?

Now, it didn't last for very long.

That period didn't last for very long.

But when those albums came out, Bad and Thriller.

Oh, they were so good.

You can't deny Billie Gene, all that stuff.

You can't deny the power of that music and how good that fucking shit was.

I loved even the later stuff when he was married to Lisa Marie, Man in the Mirror, all that.

I love that.

Man in the Mirror.

That was a beautiful song.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Big fan.

Me too.

But like a lot of people.

And I still listen to his music.

My kids are listening to his music now.

And I don't know what to say.

How do you separate the art from the man?

I don't know.

I don't know that you can sometimes.

And I don't have all the answers.

But man, I'll tell you what.

later on in life, because I, you know, what was an adult in the 2000s when all of that drama was going on with him, I just started to think, well, there's too much smoke.

There's too much smoke.

I know.

I never watched the documentary.

Yeah, I don't.

You shouldn't watch the documentary.

If that, if you're, if you want to believe, I just need to go on like this.

Astron and I watched it together, and I think we were both thoroughly convinced when it was done.

We were like, yeah, that's kind of fucking weird.

Yeah, that's, that's kind of fucking weird.

It was kind of fucking weird with children.

That's the, that's the thing.

But then it's an interesting point to make that Corey Feldman, one of the most outspoken guys about sexual abuse inside of Hollywood.

He took it to the police multiple times.

He's been on every talk show you could ever imagine to discuss it.

He's a book.

He wrote the book, did the whole thing, was involved in a documentary that hasn't seen the light of day, but he says.

He helped with the Weinstein charges too, right?

I think he had something to do with something.

Yeah, he has been there the entire time through the Me Too movement, all of of it.

He has been there and he has tried to protect other people.

And then just to protect one person, Michael Jackson.

Yeah, you're right.

It is strange.

It is strange.

But Macaulay Cole

is the same way, too.

He has also been, I don't say he's been as outspoken, but he has talked about abuse inside of Hollywood.

And he was over there all the time.

Yeah.

He hung out at Neverland Ranch a lot, to my understanding.

He was in videos.

Yeah.

He was in videos.

That black and white.

You know, he had a good one.

Yeah.

That was a good one.

Another good one.

So, I don't know.

Maybe we'll talk more about it after the break.

Let's uh, we're running long now, Tina.

Now we're chatting too much on the commercial break.

Look at me.

I got to pay some bills.

So we're back.

We're talking about Michael Jackson.

Some people online are becoming louder and louder in their defense of Michael Jackson.

There's always been defenders of Michael Jackson.

A lot of people don't believe that he ever did anything wrong with these children.

And in case you weren't alive or you're just not kept up to date on the whole situation, Michael was accused by a number of different children in famous lawsuits.

He was arrested at one point.

I believe he was arrested.

He was taken to trial.

He's never found guilty, but he died, I think, before some of these charges could be brought against him.

But he was accused of molesting children while they were over at Neverland Ranch.

Now,

Astron and I asked ourselves this question when we saw this movie.

Who, one of these children, was just allowed to stay with Michael Jackson in his bedroom for like nights on end.

Yeah, this is

a parent problem.

This is a parent problem.

I don't even let my children do sleepovers, and I'm not sure I ever will because you just can't control what happens in other people's houses.

And Michael Jackson, I don't care if you trusted Michael Jackson to the X.

Like this dude would never, like, he was your brother.

Michael Jackson is a circus and he travels in a constant circus of people and places and things.

And that Neverland Ranch was a fucking theme park.

And I'm not letting my child spend the night with a strange man.

Period.

Period.

No.

Ever.

No.

So you're setting yourself up.

Michael was setting himself up from the beginning to have problems.

So any way you look at it, the optics were not good ever.

Because Michael admitted, he famously went on, you know, did that interview with that fucking Bashir, whatever his name was.

He did that long interview, that long ABC interview, where he famously was nervous and he admitted he just, he didn't come across great.

It didn't sound like he was telling the truth.

And he said, He was a very shy person, believe it or not, but he was a very shy person.

So I would be too if I didn't have a nose.

You know what I'm saying?

He was like always holding his hand up near his nose.

I didn't do it.

I didn't touch those kids.

That's ridiculous.

That's pretty good.

That's ridiculous.

These are lies.

All of these are lies.

These children just are so innocent.

I love children in the little bottoms.

I love when they run around with their little bottoms.

Now,

hey, sorry.

Sorry.

I just shy.

What you said?

I can't hear you.

I don't have ears.

They burned off in the Pepsi commercial, Bashir.

You're just, you're ugly.

That's ugly.

He would say that and be like, that's ugliness.

I don't have any ugliness.

Look at my nose.

I don't have any ugliness.

Can I have my nose back?

Poor guy.

Oh, poor guy.

I know.

And he was hopped up on all those pain meds.

Skin was weird.

And yeah.

Listen, I have seen it in my own personal life.

Sometimes people get addicted to the plastic surgery because they get addicted to the medications and they have to.

It's like a big vicious circle.

And that plastic surgeon just tore that guy apart.

I mean, he really did.

Michael didn't have a nose.

He did not.

You can see pictures where it's just like the two nostrils, you know, the two holes in his nose.

He looked like a, yeah, like a skeletal remain.

Yeah, he did.

He really did.

And so in any case, Michael in the optics was not good.

He decided to do that interview.

It got worse.

And then the lawsuits came and then the criminal charges came.

But he was, I don't think he was ever found guilty of anything.

Right.

It's still a questionable.

Okay.

So now there's this growing contingent of people.

It's for a long time now, Michael's reputation has really been in the shitter.

Now he's dead.

He can't even defend himself anymore.

But there's a growing contingent of people who claim that Michael never did anything with children.

And how do they know that?

I don't know.

They just are defending him for one reason or another.

Here is Corey Feldman.

I think this is

I think this is maybe like seven years ago.

He's with Matt Lauer.

College.

We believe that children are being abused by petals and police.

Absolutely.

So why are you sitting down talking to me?

Why aren't you sitting down with the police right now?

I've told the police.

I sat there and I gave them the names.

But they were scanning Michael Jackson.

All they cared about was trying to find something on Michael Jackson.

You said, by the way, did not appear.

You've said you've had death threats.

Another reason, I think, to go to police.

That's a crime to threaten someone's life.

I've gone to the police with that as well.

What would be wrong with going to the police now again?

There's a statute of limitations, Matt, in the state of California, which protects people.

It's not that way in New York.

It's that way only where the movie industry is, conveniently enough, in California.

So if I were to go to the police, I would be the one who's getting sued.

Okay, so

this is just one of the many hundreds of times that Corey has been out there loud and proud saying Michael did nothing.

And when I took this other stuff to the police, the statue of limitations had run out.

And all they wanted to hear about was Michael Jackson.

They didn't care about anything else I was saying.

They just wanted Michael, Michael, Michael.

So now other other people are saying they were just out to get him.

Yeah.

Right.

For what reason?

I don't know.

I mean,

you know, when you travel in circles with very rich, very powerful people, this is not conspiratorial thinking.

This is just me being real pragmatic.

When you travel in those circles, you're going to have to, and you interact with those people.

You're going to have to watch your back a little bit because you may get involved in something, you may see something, you may hear something, you may say something that rubs people the wrong way and people who have the ability to take action and make sure that you behave in the way they want you to behave.

And I think the bigger that you get, the larger the target on your back.

We all know that to be a fact.

And this is just the way that it is.

Maybe Michael knew something, said something, had something, did something.

Yes.

Maybe people wanted his catalog.

Maybe other people wanted to sue him to get at his money.

Though I hear hear he was also always very generous with his money.

They probably could have just asked.

I don't know.

But, you know, when you got billions of dollars worth of royalties, but the thing was, is that Michael was kind of broke.

Like, I mean, Michael didn't have any money.

Neverland went bankrupt, I believe.

It did.

It got foreclosed on multiple times, I believe.

So.

This leads to an interesting other conversation that I'm going to share here on the commercial break.

And I'm going to try and take the politics completely out of it.

I'm not going to speculate or make conjecture.

I'm just going to share a story.

This may get banned.

They may take this off the streaming services or YouTube.

I don't know.

A couple of days ago, let me start at the beginning.

There was a special election, I believe, in New Jersey

because a Republican

House member left.

Arizona.

Oh, Arizona.

I'm sorry.

And a Democrat was voted in.

Correct.

It is

incumbent upon the Speaker of the House to swear swear that person in in a special session.

But the Speaker largely has control of when that special session happens.

Largely.

Largely.

It's been delayed, I think, twice now.

Okay.

When the shoe was on the other foot and there was a special election where a Republican won, Mike Johnson took heed to do instantaneous

post-haste, right?

So there's a lot of whining and complaining on the Democrat side because this woman who has been elected, this Democrat, represents maybe the vote that will allow the Epstein files to get released.

So there is a lot at stake with just this one woman's, this poor woman's special election.

Poor lady.

Yeah.

And she's already said she's going to vote to allow the Epstein file.

She's going to vote with the Democrats and some Republicans to allow the Epstein files to be released without getting into that whole fucking quagmire.

There are some people on the left who are really upset that Mike Johnson keeps delaying this.

And so the other day, you may have seen that a young man who I'm not going to name here,

he put out a real video on TikTok first, then it went to Instagram, where he claimed that he had a grinder profile of Mike Johnson and the IP address to prove that it was Mike Johnson using that account.

And he said, swear her in by Wednesday, which is today as we're recording.

Or I release the files.

I release the information I have.

I'm not fucking around.

I'm not above it.

I don't care.

Fuck you.

Essentially.

And he said that, right?

Then that reel, that guy had about 40,000 followers.

Yeah, not a real big account.

Not huge, but he was largely doing political commentary, right?

And it's clear that he leans very far to the left.

Then that particular reel, that video, then got amplified hundreds of times by accounts much, much bigger than his.

Some of the biggest accounts in liberal social media and even some right-wing social media accounts propagated that particular first reel where he said this, where he made those

he threatened.

Essentially, he threatened, you do this or I do that.

That's what he said, right?

Quid proco.

Either you get it, you get it done, I keep them, keep it safe and sound.

You don't do it, I'm releasing the hounds.

This morning, this young man came out with a reel, which I'm not going to play here because I believe that might get banned.

That might be what gets me banned.

Visibly shaken.

Visibly shaken.

So everyone's waiting until Wednesday.

A lot of people were like, release it anyway.

Who fucking cares?

I was looking at his page while I was watching this stupid movie.

Everybody's waiting for this kid to act, right?

This guy probably looks like he's in his 30s.

Today he puts out a reel, very visibly shaken.

This is also being amplified by some of these same accounts because everyone now is waiting for the follow-up.

What are you going to do?

What's your next move?

Where he explains that he has talked to some attorneys, he's gotten some legal representation, and some new, and he's consulted with some investigative journalists and some respected news organizations, and he has handed over the materials that he has to multiple different outlets and sources.

It is no longer just him who has this information.

By the way, these rumors have been going around since March.

I did a little little investigating myself.

This is, he's not the first one to say this.

He is not the first one to claim that Mike Johnson has a Brian Dur account.

And if he does,

who fucking cares?

Well, I think why is he.

Yeah.

I think the really right-leaning, especially the fundamentalists, will care.

They will care, but I don't care.

I don't care.

The thing is, you can't then go like, you know, stomping and tramping all over people's rights

and you're part of the group.

Like, it just doesn't make

protection.

Yes.

It's a lot of self-hating going on if that's true, right?

And I don't know that it's true.

It very well could just be a ruse.

This guy could just be talking fucking shit.

Who knows?

Who knows?

So he puts out this reel, and then he says, I am some, I've been moved.

I'm somewhere safe.

I am not a harm to myself.

I will not do harm to others.

If that happens, it's not me, right?

I'm not the one.

Yeah.

He's shaken and he explains that this got out of control and I'm in a, I'm in a world of shit, but I'm standing my ground.

I'm not backing down.

So what does that mean?

I don't know.

I assume what that means is he's handed over the materials for review by people who can actually vet it.

Vet it.

It's not just a dude on Instagram.

Now it's, I don't know.

I'm just making conjecture here.

60 Minutes, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, somebody who's got the bona fides to say, we did the homework.

We double-checked and triple-checked.

This is legit.

This is legit.

And our legal team has said we have the right to publish this.

So will it come out?

I don't know.

It might be bullshit, and they might call bullshit on it, or he just could be wrong.

Is the story going to come out tomorrow if

the swearing in, I assume, isn't going to happen during a government shutdown?

Nope.

There's no swearing-in going to go on during a government shutdown.

How convenient.

Isn't it?

Yeah, how convenient.

This is just like these games that the but I will share that this goes along with what I was saying about Michael Jackson and why anyone would target Michael Jackson.

Because when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

And he got the horns, or he's getting the horns.

Yeah.

There have been multiple people who have reported on this guy, who know this guy, who are close to this guy, that he's now being followed by unmarked vehicles and people.

Of course he is.

Of course he is.

What did you think was going to happen?

What did you think was going to happen?

Normal citizens who have done nothing wrong, people who are here legally doing nothing wrong, are being followed by the military.

Right.

By blacked out vehicles and guys with masks masks and guns and, you know, no badges and no identifying information.

To the point that I don't trust blacked out vehicles anymore.

No.

I saw,

I saw me personally in my own neighborhood.

I saw it.

I saw a police officer, a marked police officer, talking to a guy in a truck with blacked out tinted windows.

And on the back, it said,

you know, a dealership vehicle without the name of the dealership.

And then inside of the car were two guys in full regalia.

Like tactical gear.

Tactical gear.

Full regalia.

No way.

They were talking to the police officer in a parking lot.

It looked like a normal car, except the blacked out windows.

Yeah, the tint is so dark you can't even make out silhouettes inside.

That's it.

It's scary, scary shit.

And even Homeland Security, it's marked.

You can see Homeland Security on the car.

It's usually just like a flat black on a shiny paint job.

Yes.

But

these don't have any markings at all.

No, there's no markings.

In a lot of cases, they're not government tags.

They're like minivans.

It's creepy.

It's creepy.

It's weird.

And it's in our neighborhood.

It's here

right next to me.

It makes it, I know it's going on because I watch the fucking news and I see on social media.

But listen, we can have the debate all day long about whether or not someone has broken the law by crossing an imaginary line in the sand.

We can have that debate, but they deserve their due in court, their day in court, and they also deserve to be respected respected in the process basic dignity basic dignity and and they're not asking who they voted for by the way yeah no

no it's not about that it's not about that that's right so this guy is about to find out what life is like in 2025 under this particular

yeah in this america because it's a whole different ballgame than it was even just four years ago it's a whole different ballgame i'm not saying this hasn't been going on for ever and ever people in high places and it's out in in front.

It's out in the open.

Yeah, it's out in the open and it is amplified.

It's crazy.

It is.

I'm worried for this guy.

I'm worried for him, too.

I don't know if I agree with what he's doing or not.

I'm just watching.

Neither here nor there.

I'm just a witness to what's going on.

I'm not saying yay, nay, he should be, he shouldn't be, any of that stuff.

And by the way, I just don't give a shit whether or not someone is gay.

I just don't give a shit.

But I will share with you right now that I have real concerns for this guy's safety.

Especially seeing the initial post and then seeing today's update.

If he's doing this as a joke, this is the worst point so far.

He should, yeah.

Someone has it.

My assumption is, and I told this to Tina, my assumption is a lot of powerful people amplified this, people who have millions of followers, people who get hundreds of millions of views, and they probably have very powerful people that watch them, follow them.

My assumption is that someone in that audience said, you better get a hold of this guy real quick before someone else does.

Yeah.

He needs to be in a safe place.

He He needs to let this material go to a number of different other safe places, and he needs legal help.

He needs lawyers all around him.

And somebody get him a vest.

Yeah.

Someone get him a vest.

That's right.

Let's not even get into that one.

Let's not get an end to recent conspiracy theories because Brian's onto one.

I'm not a conspiracist.

One made in America.

One made in America.

That's right.

No Israeli vests.

Please.

Keep those away.

All right.
