Speaker 2 On this episode of the Commercial Break,

Speaker 2 you are willing to be a child star unboxing these gifts. And even then, This market is saturated.
There are adults who unbox.

Speaker 2 I saw the boo-boo unboxing, and you would have thought it was Kylie and Casey.

Speaker 2 It was not Kylie and Casey. It's a 46 year old woman who was unboxing 300 laboo boos.
Really? And crying when she didn't get the special or whatever it is, the special laboo boo.

Speaker 2 Chrissy, what in the world is going on? What in the world is going on?

Speaker 2 It's like late stage consumerism. Run them up.

Speaker 2 And I love it. I love consumerism.
I'm all about it. I'm not buying things.

Speaker 2 Who doesn't? When I got got this sweater, it made me so happy for one minute until I got the credit card bill.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, Captain Kittens, welcome back to the Commercial Break. Again, I'm Brian Green.
This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Holy best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian.

Speaker 2 Best to you out there in the podcast universe.

Speaker 2 It all goes wrong. So this is like our second, maybe third time starting the show here on the live stream because recording is an important part of what we do since you can't go live on the RSS feeds.

Speaker 2 There you go.

Speaker 2 Anyway, another person has fallen off a carnival cruise. What? What?

Speaker 2 No. Guys.

Speaker 2 It was just like, okay, this, you know what? This is a great topic to talk about because I wanted to discuss this a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 2 A thorough investigation has been done into the Disney accident that happened on that boat.

Speaker 2 They have come out with

Speaker 2 more information. Neither the father nor the mother are going to be charged in the incident.
However, if you recall, let me take you through the timeline of what happened, in case you don't know.

Speaker 2 Back in June, May or June of this year, I want to say it was months ago,

Speaker 2 a little girl,

Speaker 2 five years old, six years old, I think she was, fell off a Disney cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean. She fell off the ship,

Speaker 2 like 12 stories, seven, nine, ten, twelve stories, whatever it is. I know the, I guess it depends on how high the boat is sitting in the water, but it's not a small fall.
It is a large fall.

Speaker 2 Stories, you're talking tens of feet, 70, 80, 90 feet off of the Lido deck, which is, or the promenade, which is the deck that goes all the way around the boat. People walk around it.

Speaker 2 You can play games. You know, it's basically the balcony deck.
You can go out there and chill out. Is there a pool on this deck?

Speaker 2 No, the pool is above the deck. It's higher.
Yeah, it's higher.

Speaker 2 So she falls off and in an instant, her father, who was lauded as a hero, as he should be, jumped right in after her, found her, and held her above water for 20 plus minutes while Disney did what they do, which is, and they did apparently very efficiently, effectively, and with like

Speaker 2 They did exactly what they should have done by all accounts, including the sheriff's office who investigated them. Woo-woo! A siren.
Woo-hoo! Sirens.

Speaker 2 boat in the water. Yes, including the mother.
The mother and a bunch of people get on a boat. They take it down to the water, which in and of itself probably takes five, ten minutes to do.

Speaker 2 And then they find the child and the father, who has been now treading water with his daughter, treading water with his daughter for many minutes.

Speaker 2 One minute of treading water with the child in your arms. I can tell you, as a guy who has

Speaker 2 children, it's a lot. You feel like you're being pulled down under.
So God bless that this all worked out okay. Uh, the father ended up having a broken back.

Speaker 2 The child suffered some bruises and obviously emotional distress, but they were found, they were brought back to the ship, and an investigation ensued.

Speaker 2 When this became public knowledge the very next day, many people took to all the different platforms, including an unverified source that was supposedly on the boat that said, Yeah, that's because the mother had her on the railing

Speaker 2 taking a picture. And then a couple of days later, the sheriff's office came out and said, there are a lot of stories going around on social media right now.

Speaker 2 Please don't jump to conclusions because what you're hearing probably isn't true.

Speaker 2 That's all I have to say. Period into sentence.
Imagine. Guess what? It was true.
What? After an investigation.

Speaker 2 After an investigation and talking to many people who were on the boat and people who saw what happened, the mother asked the young lady to sit in a essentially porthole, a place where there is not glass or

Speaker 2 plexiglass on the railings. Oh my gosh.
She asked her to sit there for a picture. And when she did, she fell backwards.

Speaker 2 The father, who was close, within 10 or 15 feet, saw what happened and saw or heard what happened and wasted no time, jumped in directly after her.

Speaker 2 The parents will not be charged in this incident because the sheriff's office believes they have suffered enough emotional distress and that there was no malfeasance in what happened.

Speaker 2 In other words, the lady was just dumb. I mean, just dumb as dirt.

Speaker 2 And I don't want to like knock another parent because parenting is hard in the first place, but you don't put your child on a railing on a cruise ship. No.

Speaker 2 Do you know the chances of someone surviving that kind of accident? Do you know, I don't know what the chances are, but it can't be a lot.

Speaker 2 Because that's like concrete when you hit the water. You have to to hit the water in a certain way to make sure that you don't break every little bone in your body.

Speaker 2 And the father suffered a broken back because he probably hit the water the wrong way. It's hard to control your body.

Speaker 2 You know, if you're jumping more than 10 feet, your body wants to go where you're, like, I don't know, wherever it wants to go.

Speaker 2 Yeah, look at all those, uh, look at all those kids on uh TikTok and Instagram. And I say, kids, you know, the teenagers and the guys in their early 20s, mainly guys,

Speaker 2 doing these incredibly insane high jumps off of all different manner of places high up in the air into water.

Speaker 2 One of these kids, one of these guys who is very famous for doing this, broke like 36 bones in his body and he's back at it. Of course.
Of course. But, you know, youth is for the young.

Speaker 2 And I guess if you're going to do that, then go ahead and do that. But this goes to show

Speaker 2 underdeveloped brains

Speaker 2 is the woman who allowed her child to sit on a railing. I know.
That's like those when you go to the, like, you've heard of the zoo stuff where people go in trying to get a picture with the animals.

Speaker 2 Harambe. Yeah.
Harambe is dead because, well, I don't know if the kid, did the kid get into the enclosure or did his mom put him on the railing? I don't remember, but remember they shot Harambe.

Speaker 2 Unbelievable. Unbelievable that this mother would think this.
But yet now here we have another incident out at sea of someone just being silly and

Speaker 2 being silly or on purpose, whatever. What happened in that instance?

Speaker 2 There's not a lot of details around it, but apparently overboard. There you go.
Some people do do this, by the way, not to talk about unaliving yourself, but some people do do this.

Speaker 2 Like it's a plan that they have and they go and they do it and it's sad and whatever. And this is actually, there's a rash of these happening right now in Disney World, too.

Speaker 2 People jumping off the contemporary hotel.

Speaker 2 Really? Yes. People unaliving themselves at Disney World.
I guess they think it's like they want to spend the last day of their life at the happiest place on earth.

Speaker 2 But it's a problem for Disney because it's caused. It's it's a problem for Disney because that's not, you know, no one wants to encounter that.

Speaker 2 No one else's happiest day. No, yeah.
I mean, imagine you're, it's just a whole fucking sad situation.

Speaker 2 But anyway, so Carnival Crews, you know, they are trying to whip that, those cruise ships into shape by putting all these new rules and all that.

Speaker 2 And, you know, you still got people out there doing the hookie-dookie. Why would you,

Speaker 2 why would you sit on a balcony? No, I don't know. And to me, like the picture that you could get, what would that be? It's just going to be the water in the background.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 Can't you get that by just standing at the balcony? Yes. What is

Speaker 2 like, I don't know this, they didn't give the details, but when people fall overboard, I think you really have to make an effort to fall overboard on most of these cruise ships. I've been on a few.

Speaker 2 I think you really have to, on a Disney cruise, you have to make a concerted effort to fall overboard. There's plexiglass

Speaker 2 everywhere. Yeah.
Yeah. And they have the high railings that come up to like your armpit on an adult, basically on your armpit.

Speaker 2 And they do have furniture out on the balconies, but I mean, it would have to be shuffled around

Speaker 2 with knowledge and with intent.

Speaker 2 The first thing you do when you're a parent and you have kids and you go on a cruise and you have a balcony is you take the fucking furniture off the door off of the fucking balcony. Right.

Speaker 2 That's what you do. At least that's what I do.
Because it just,

Speaker 2 there's zero chance. Zero chance.
Zero chance. But anyway, Chrissy and I will be doing our cruise ship tour 2026.

Speaker 2 We're going to be going on

Speaker 2 the Jimmy Buffett.

Speaker 2 My kids are like watching this.

Speaker 2 Here's why I don't like YouTube for kids sometimes.

Speaker 2 All of these channels that these famous now very famous children on YouTube have, they're all based around one thing. Spending money and incredible amounts of it.
The unboxing.

Speaker 2 The unboxing every toy in the world that they get for free from all the toy companies, the vacations that they get free from the

Speaker 2 resort cruise and hospitality industry. They basically get thrown all of these

Speaker 2 incredible gifts and then they, the kids, unbox them, I'm sure with the parents' help. Now, this is where, as a parent,

Speaker 2 you have to make some decisions in your life. It's like, yeah, I don't want my kid to be out there on YouTube 24 hours a day.

Speaker 2 I don't want to essentially be a child star with all the child star problems. But

Speaker 2 they make a lot of money. They got some cool vacations they go on.
You know what what I'm saying? They make a lot of money and they get the free toys and vacations.

Speaker 2 Should I throw away any chance my child has at a normal future for short-term vacation gain? And the answer in my head is yes, but my wife says no.

Speaker 2 So for right now, at least, I haven't, I've lost the war, but I will, I mean, I've lost the battle, but I will win the war. What about if we did an unboxing?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I just don't think it's the same when Chrissy and Brian are unboxing. What do we unbox? Five-hour energy?

Speaker 2 If you want us to unbox five-hour energy, we have a lot to five-hour energy.

Speaker 2 I just got the holiday package. I just got the holiday package.

Speaker 2 I'm going to die of a caffeine overdose at some point.

Speaker 2 Listen, these, and so these kids, they're going on this vacation, like obviously given to them by Royal Caribbean, but they get the suite on the boat.

Speaker 2 On the brand new boat, the brand new suite with the slide and the water bed, the bunk beds and four rooms and TVs that slide. They get their own slide, it's a slide in the room.

Speaker 2 Oh, wow, it's a slide that you take from the second story down to the first story. Oh, that's cool.
This is a suite that even on land, you would be happy to have, right?

Speaker 2 Like, if you went to an Airbnb, this would be the best Airbnb you went to, but this is on a cruise ship with 180-degree view of the ocean and the boat, and high up in the air where you're overlooking the

Speaker 2 pool deck or whatever they call the poop deck.

Speaker 2 I love that they call it the poop deck. Um,

Speaker 2 so my kids are watching this. We very rarely let them watch YouTube, but I'm like, okay, go ahead, you know, if you want to watch a video, just let me see what you're watching.

Speaker 2 And it's like, you know, Kylie and Casey take vacation. And I'm like, okay, Kylie and Casey, what could that, you know, I'll watch it with them.

Speaker 2 And then all of the sudden, they're in this $50,000 a night suite on a 50-day cruise vacation getting pampered.

Speaker 2 And then Jojo Siwa shows up in the video, like on the cruise. And I'm like, why is Jojo Siwa showing up on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to meet these Kylie and Casey?

Speaker 2 I don't know who they are, but okay.

Speaker 2 And my kids are then begging, begging us,

Speaker 2 can we please go on a Royal, can we please get that room, go on a Royal Caribbean cruise? To which I say, no, to which Astrid says, yes, you keep on saving your money, and then we can go on it.

Speaker 2 And so then we're trying to do the math. They're trying to do the math.
And one kid's like, I got $31 bills. And I'm like, times 1,000

Speaker 2 times every five hours you're on the cruise. And there you go.
That's it.

Speaker 2 You can't do that. Do the marketing.
I mean, that's a good marketing trick. Get the kids on board to pester the parents.
Yes. We had nothing like this when we were children.

Speaker 2 There was no such thing as unboxing. Unboxing happened on Christmas and it was usually a box we were unboxing.

Speaker 2 These kids on YouTube, they are unboxing box after box after box after box, thousands and thousands of toys, the best toys, the, you know, and they got rooms full of toys and they live in these candyland mansions.

Speaker 2 It's completely unrealistic. And so while it's fun fantasy, and I, you know, I don't argue their ability to make a living doing it.
I'm not knocking the kids.

Speaker 2 It's just completely, it's a fantasy land that is unattainable by any stretch of the imagination unless you are willing to be a child star unboxing these gifts.

Speaker 2 And even then, this market is saturated. There are adults who unbox.
I saw a laboo boo unboxing, and you would have thought it was Kylie and Casey. It was not Kylie and Casey.

Speaker 2 It was a 46-year-old woman who was unboxing 300 laboo-boos. Really? And crying when she didn't get the special or whatever it is, the special laboo boo.
Chrissy,

Speaker 2 what in the world is going on? What in the world is going on? It's kind of bizarro.

Speaker 2 It's like late-stage consumerism run amok

Speaker 2 and i i love it i love consumerism i'm all about it i love buying things i who doesn't when i got this sweater it made me so happy for one minute until i got the credit card bill you know what i'm saying yes but this lady was going bananas with laboos over these laboobus first of all laboobus six days ago don't buy laboobus now if you think you're gonna make money on laboobus you're you're you're someone else is making money on you buying their laboobus laboobus are no longer the thing they're like the baby babies.

Speaker 2 They're already gone. They'll come back in trend and fashion at some point.
But, you know, a trend is only, a trend is called a trend. La la boo-boo.
Because it goes, laboo boo.

Speaker 2 Because it goes like this and like this. La poo-poo.

Speaker 2 What also is hot right now, and what's been hot for a long time, is Pokemon. Oh, God, did that ever really go away? Here's what's happening in the Pokemon world.
I think I should inform you.

Speaker 2 I think I should give you a heads up on this. Okay.
I've been following these Pokemon, Pokemon card accounts on Instagram because that's really where all of the drama is, is in the Pokemon world.

Speaker 2 With the cards. With the cards.

Speaker 2 Back to the cards. Back to the cards.
Those were the original. Those are the OG.
And now they're back. And, you know, they make them in limited editions and special runs and special packages.
And

Speaker 2 they,

Speaker 2 they, meaning the Pokemon community, go ape shit over Pokemons.

Speaker 2 And what is happening is there is a whole cottage industry of what they call scam artists, what I call first in line people who will go when the Walmart is going to put out the new Pokemons and they will buy the entire shelf of it.

Speaker 2 And there's 50 other people waiting behind them and they refuse to give them anything. To me, it's kind of a dick move, but it's late-stage consumerism.
There's where it is.

Speaker 2 Where in the rules doesn't say he can't buy all of them? He should be a good human and give some to other people, but that's not what he's going to do because he is just profiting off of these cards.

Speaker 2 And so they go in, they clean out the Walmart. Here's another one.
Just had a video right here near where I live. And this, like, this was,

Speaker 2 you know, hundreds of thousands of views on this video of a security guard at a Kroger here in Atlanta standing in front of the Pokemon machine.

Speaker 2 Have you seen the Pokemon machines that sell Pokemon cards? They're these big digital machines. You're a Kroger.
I need to go to this Kroger because it's a video. It's a casino.

Speaker 2 It's a casino and it's got

Speaker 2 people with the Pokemon box.

Speaker 2 Everything. You can buy lotto tickets, Pokemon, and

Speaker 2 go bankrupt in the casino all in one false whoop. And if you need a gallon of milk to bring home on the way, tell your wife you just busted $10,000 at the Kroger casino.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 This security guard stands in front of the Pokemon machine waiting for someone to transfer money into his account so that he can clean out the special edition Pokemon cards that have just been put in the machine minutes earlier.

Speaker 2 So he's got the inside track because he knows when the Pokemon cards are coming. Then he's standing there guarding the machine while other people behind him are waiting.

Speaker 2 And he's waiting for someone to transfer money into his account so he can get these Pokemon cards. You know there was an actual security guard, like making sure that people didn't get too crazy.
No.

Speaker 2 This security guard is probably getting paid $13 an hour and says, fuck this. I can make some money on these Pokemon.
I'm going to stand here and wait. I'm going to stand stand here and get it.

Speaker 2 Listen, you can't argue because there's no rules. It doesn't say on the Pokemon machine, please patiently.

Speaker 2 If your money isn't transferred in your account in two minutes, you must leave.

Speaker 2 That's not how it goes. And he's a security guard.
What are you going to do? You're going to push him out of the way? Maybe. I don't know.

Speaker 2 But then you're probably going to get in trouble with the security guard. So it's just.
So he is an actual security guard. He's a security guard at the fucking Crogo.
He's doubling as also.

Speaker 2 Pokemon broker. Pokemon.
broker of Pokemon. Yeah, a broker of Prokemen, if you will, Chrissy.
Pokemon. Pokemon.

Speaker 2 It is literally kind of insane. Why?

Speaker 2 I understand these Pokemon cards can be worth hundreds of thousands and a couple of them millions of dollars. Really? Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes. What is the most expensive Pokemon?

Speaker 2 I think one of the

Speaker 2 twins, one of the boys was involved in this. The Paul brothers.
Oh, God.

Speaker 2 Oh, the Paul brothers. Most expensive Pokemon card ever.

Speaker 2 $250,000.

Speaker 2 30 most expensive Pokemon cards ever sold. Are you ready? Get ready for this.
Okay.

Speaker 2 A Japanese promo illustrator, Holo, Kororo, Kororo Comics, $5.2 million. million dollars.

Speaker 2 Wow. Jesus.

Speaker 2 Can you imagine? Can you imagine just like all of a sudden having a $5.2 million piece of property in your fucking hands because you waited at the machine as the security guard and Kroger

Speaker 2 to cockwalk everybody else from getting these? People are going bananas over the collectibles right now. Collectibles are the thing.
They're in fashion.

Speaker 2 I guess in kind of a down economy, that's what happens, right? Lottery. Lottery,

Speaker 2 casinos, collectibles. They all go up in value.
You want to know why? Because

Speaker 2 it's an act of desperation. Now, of course, there are Pokémon collectors that are very serious.
This is what they do. They love it.

Speaker 2 It's, you know, they're all about collecting the cards, and you can appreciate that. You know, I had a Dick Tracy collection, right? Worked out, worked out in my favor.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Most expensive Dick Tracy card ever sold.

Speaker 2 It says add-on to value meal at McDonald's. 32 cents.

Speaker 2 You can appreciate the true Pokemon collectors. It's the guys and girls who are in there brokering, you know, getting in the middle of a transaction.
It's always going to be that.

Speaker 2 Well, also, I think you have to be really fucking lucky to get one of those super expensive cards. But what they're doing is

Speaker 2 they're essentially creating a run on the bank.

Speaker 2 How are they doing that? They're doing that by

Speaker 2 gobbling it all up and then reselling it on whatever sites you resell Pokemon cards on for five-point Pokemon, the men of Poke. The men of Pokey.

Speaker 2 Hey, listen. Poke.
Poke.

Speaker 2 I remember 1980, 1999, 2000, whatever.

Speaker 2 A girl that I lived with came home with a box of Pokemon card, like, you know, individually wrapped, you know, like a top spaceball card box.

Speaker 2 And she was like, hey, one of my skater friends gave this to me. He like wants to take me on a date.
So I think he's trying to butter me up, but I have no fucking, whatever this is. You can have it.

Speaker 2 And I opened one of those and I was like, I don't understand a word of this. I have no idea what this is.
This will never take this will never be worth money. Throw that directly in the trash.

Speaker 2 It was probably $5.2 million.

Speaker 2 Cororo, Karoro promo illustrator. $5.2 million.

Speaker 2 Because that's the kind of investment vehicle Brian Green is. Yeah.
The kind of rises right off the cliff. Yes.
I do have a nose for bad investments.

Speaker 2 All right. Let's

Speaker 2 take a break. And when we get back, maybe we'll talk a little Frankie B.

Speaker 2 We should.

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

Speaker 2 All right, one more thing that I want to talk about before here, real quick, while we're on the collectible stuff. There's a new Starbucks coming up.
Oh, that's all that's the barista. Okay.

Speaker 2 I want to tell you. People are going crazy here.
The Bearista.

Speaker 3 People are going bonkers for these adorable teddy bear glass cups at Starbucks. The 20-ounce holiday bottles called Bearista Cold Cups debuted yesterday and immediately sold out.

Speaker 3 But most customers are leaving empty-handed. This is the much-sought-after Bearista Cold Cup.
It's a bear-shaped glass mug with a green beanie and a Starbucks logo on its belly.

Speaker 3 It sells for $29.95, but if you're looking for one, be prepared to spend a lot more. On eBay, they're selling for up to $550.

Speaker 2 Holy

Speaker 2 shit.

Speaker 2 I got to use my connections up at the Starbucks and get me a Bearista cold cuff. What in the world? So, okay.
So I've seen all these videos of people just going...

Speaker 2 They're like losing their loony-tuned mind over the Bearista cup. They're standing in line hours before the Starbucks open and the cold and the hot and the rain and whatever.

Speaker 2 And then they're opening the doors and most stores only have one or two of them, right? They're very limited edition. So most stores are only getting a couple of them.

Speaker 2 And then people have been taking videos of the, there was one video in particular. Now, I don't know what the rules are, not sure how this opens.

Speaker 2 And the plastic. I'll tell you a story in just a second.
I wish I did. I would have bought it and, you know, I'd been up $300.

Speaker 2 So there's a video going around, and

Speaker 2 people can find it on their own. There's a video going around of the store opens at 5 a.m., let's say.
And at 5.01,

Speaker 2 the manager opens the cash register. She, like, you know, goes to the cash register, but she doesn't open the front door where at least 30 people are waiting.

Speaker 2 The employees of the store then walk, grab the barista, and buy them themselves. Oh.

Speaker 2 And you can see this because most Starbucks are just, you know, they have glass windows. I mean, it's easy to see inside of a Starbucks.

Speaker 2 You can see it, and people were foreaking out because this place only had two or three of them, and they were purchased by the employees.

Speaker 2 So I go, so I'm watching all these videos of these people just losing their mind over Barista.

Speaker 2 The same thing that happened with the whatever cups back early were those cups that everyone was so excited about. Was it the Starbucks? Yeah, the Starbucks.

Speaker 2 The whatever they were. You know, everybody gets excited about the cups.
So this happened like six months ago.

Speaker 2 At the beginning of the year, they released a special cup and everyone went crazy and people were stealing them. And so the Barista cups.

Speaker 2 So I go into the Starbucks today and seeing all my peeps and I say, hey, what you got any of these cups, these Barista cups?

Speaker 2 And the manager explains, I got reamed. First customer this morning, I got reamed out.
Like someone was yelling at me across the store. And I said, for what?

Speaker 2 Because we didn't have any of the Barista cups. And I'm like, okay, you don't have any? And she's like, no, this store has not gotten any yet.
And I don't know if we'll get any.

Speaker 2 They don't tell us that. Oh, there's something to ride.
Yeah, if it shows up, it shows up. If it, you know, it shows up in our orders, it shows up in our orders.
If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Speaker 2 And she said, we don't have any. And I explained this to the customer, and they went crazy, accusing us of taking them.

Speaker 2 And I was like, geez, these poor, you know, I know. These poor service employees.
Well, I saw Starbucks too is getting ready to like try and unionize, I think.

Speaker 2 There's been a couple of some kind of striking. Yeah, there's been a number of stores throughout the country who have started to

Speaker 2 start to form a union or trying to form a union. They're trying to get a vote to form a union.
And, you know, listen, like unions, don't like unions.

Speaker 2 At least at first, I think most of them are altruistic in their intent to protect

Speaker 2 the employees. Yeah, the employees up there were telling me that now they like there's certain things they can and can't wear that they used to be able to wear.

Speaker 2 There are certain things they can and can't say where they used to be able to say. It's just like the, you know, the corporate model has started to stamp itself out everywhere.

Speaker 2 And listen, Starbucks has been that way for a long time. As a matter of fact, when you think of corporations here in the United States, Starbucks is probably one that you think of

Speaker 2 that has managed to leak its way into the entirety of the world's societal. woes.
I mean, Starbucks is on every fucking corner, everywhere throughout the globe.

Speaker 2 I can't think of a place I've traveled where there isn't isn't a Starbucks. True.
Aruba, but that's just because maybe it wasn't around me, but I'm sure it was somewhere.

Speaker 2 And I'll be damned if they didn't sell the Starbucks cold coffee in the grocery stores. So Starbucks is everywhere, all throughout Europe.

Speaker 2 All throughout Europe, they either have a Starbucks somewhere within earshot. I was driving in the fucking French countryside on my way to Barcelona from Paris to Barcelona.

Speaker 2 It's like a 20-hour drive, and and we had to take it in one shot. Me and my brother-in-law, don't even ask why.

Speaker 2 We were driving, we, it was, you know, I don't know, 50 degrees in France, and then we drive up into the Pyrenees Mountains, and it's snowing up there. And we would stop at a gas.

Speaker 2 The gas station would be like every 350 kilometers or whatever it was. They were spaced out because we really were in the French countryside, in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 2 You would stop. They would have a Starbucks machine that would make you whatever Starbucks you wanted.
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 Cold coffee, hot coffee, cappuccino, frappuccino, mocha latte, whatever it was. I don't remember seeing them very much in Italy, but

Speaker 2 well,

Speaker 2 you know, the Italians, they have pride. It's not that the French don't.
The French also have a great history with coffee, but the Italians, I mean,

Speaker 2 there's some really good fucking coffee in Italy and in Spain, but that doesn't stop Starbucks from popping up at every corner. There's a Starbucks in Venice.
Venice.

Speaker 2 There's a Starbucks in Venice. Think about that.
A Starbucks in Venice. Well, I guess you can't win them all, Chrissy.
I wonder if they have the bears. What's up? Is it international? I don't know.

Speaker 2 Okay. I don't know.
It seems like it should be or would be causing problems all over the world.

Speaker 2 Well, I like the little beret. That seems French.
Yeah, it's a beanie. It's a beanie cap.
Yeah. You twist this little beanie.
They could have a beret in France. And it's glass.

Speaker 2 It's going to break in two seconds. You know it is.
And what are you going to do?

Speaker 2 It's a a bear. What are you going to do with that bear? You're going to like it for one Christmas season and it's going to be worth a dollar next year.
It's going to go.

Speaker 2 I guarantee, if you go to Any Goodwill next year, next February, if you go to Any Goodwill, there's going to be 10 baristas there for sale, just like the Laboobus, by the way.

Speaker 2 They're starting to pop up at the Goodwills. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. See, when your collectible $3 million La Fufu

Speaker 2 shows up at your local Salvation Army,

Speaker 2 the trend is probably over. I'm just saying.
But not Pokemon. No, no, no, no.
No,

Speaker 2 it's been consistent. Don't let the men of Poke.

Speaker 2 The Poke.

Speaker 2 The Pokemon.

Speaker 2 All right. Listen, just for shits and giggles, Chrissy and I are going to take a look back.
Those of you that are just tuning in, which is no of you.

Speaker 2 Chrissy and I have had a long-suffering love affair with a man named Frankie B, Frank Bonado. He's on YouTube.
He's a pickup artist.

Speaker 2 He's a man of many different qualities. Well, yeah.
What? Lifestyle, workout.

Speaker 2 Lifestyle, fitness, fun, fashion, food, fucking. He does it all.
Like the guy is into everything. But he really, really what he does is he gives terrible relationship advice.

Speaker 2 For men in their, used to be 40s. Now it's 50s, 60s, sometimes 70s.
He's for the older crowd. He likes to give you some life lessons.
Like if you've been out, you've been out of the game for a while.

Speaker 2 Been out of the game. You're jumping back in.
You want to get back in. Chrissy's got it right.
Then

Speaker 2 don't turn off Frankie. Don't sleep on Frankie because Frankie is the man.
He knows what to do. He knows how to do it.

Speaker 2 He's been there, done that, divorced three times, lives in his daughter's apartment.

Speaker 2 This guy,

Speaker 2 but, you know, there's something about this particular pickup artist. And I think I would call him like maybe not

Speaker 2 maybe not technically a pickup artist. He's like a

Speaker 2 zone. He's like a life coach/slash pickup artist.
Yeah. Depends on which day you catch him on and what video you're watching.
But I will say this. He is the most lovable, I think.

Speaker 2 He's just like your drunk uncle. You know, he means no harm.
He's trying his best.

Speaker 2 So Frankie has, sometimes he goes through a spurt where he'll create a lot of content. Sometimes he'll be creating no content whatsoever.
We're on one of these dry patches.

Speaker 2 Which is where we think that he has a girlfriend. Yes.

Speaker 2 Anytime he's in a serious committed relationship, it's likely that that young lady or lady is telling him, if I see another one of those fucking videos pop up, it's over between you and us.

Speaker 2 And that's that'd be my first request, too. Honestly, same thing with the commercial break.
If for some reason I found myself ever single again, which I hope never to be,

Speaker 2 I think that it would be likely that if I got into a committed relationship, the first thing would be take that fucking shit before we meet my parents, take it all off the internet, all of it.

Speaker 2 But so since we're on this dry spell, I thought, okay, it's been too long. It's been months since we've talked about Frankie.

Speaker 2 He need a hit. Why don't we go back way to the beginning? Because we're now six years into this.
There's got to be, you know, there's some time, enough time has passed. So here we go.

Speaker 2 This is where we originally fell in love with him. This is, I think, our very first Frank Bonado video, which we called him

Speaker 2 Bernardo forever until one of our production assistants said Bonado. Okay, whatever.

Speaker 2 B. Yeah, B.

Speaker 2 That's right. Oh.

Speaker 2 What's going on here? Why can't I hear him? Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see here.

Speaker 2 Do I have him on mute?

Speaker 2 Frankie.

Speaker 2 Oh, Frankie. Oh, Frankie.
Where are you? Where are you, Frankie? Huh? What's going on with Frankie? I thought we would be able to hear him. Well, that's...

Speaker 2 We were able to hear him in the test session. Yeah, in the test session, but you know, that's the test session, Chrissy.
Why would it go right here?

Speaker 2 No, it wouldn't. No, of course not.
Why would anything go right while we're actually doing it?

Speaker 2 Let's see here. Well, I got it set to the right.
Oh, no, I don't. Never mind.

Speaker 2 There we go. Okay, now let's see.
It's probably going to cause some horrible feedback and crash the whole system, but that's okay. We'll try it again.
Here we go. Ready?

Speaker 2 Five more sneaky signs that your wife just might be cheating on your ass. Sneak on your ass.
All right, let's do it again. Ready?

Speaker 2 So, gentlemen, gentlemen, in today's video, we're going to go over five more sneaky signs that your wife just might be cheating on your ass.

Speaker 2 Your ass. Stinky signs.

Speaker 2 She's playing the drums with chopsticks. Oh my God.

Speaker 2 This is the best opening to any YouTube channel. It really is.
It really is.

Speaker 2 It's just lovely.

Speaker 2 What are you waiting for?

Speaker 2 And now we didn't know for years. We didn't know who this woman was who was in the beginning of this video.
And then all of a sudden, she appeared in one of his videos.

Speaker 2 And then we were like, oh, okay, they claim to be just friends, but I don't know that friends do this to other friends.

Speaker 2 I'm popping up at the beginning. What's going on, guys? And welcome to the video.
If this is your first time here, my name is Frank Bernardo.

Speaker 2 This channel is geared for all guys over the age of 50 who want to up their game, look, and feel better about themselves in grooming, fitness, fashion, and lifestyle. You know, but if you...

Speaker 2 Lifestyle.

Speaker 2 If you're a gentleman in your 40s, you know, don't turn the video off, you know, because, you know, 40 years old, you think you're the men of the world and you know everything.

Speaker 2 Look at Frankie reaching down to grab some demographic and pull him up he is if you're if you're in your teens don't turn this video off

Speaker 2 what was the one we were listening to or watching where he said that like they have watching parties or something

Speaker 2 like watching parties guys have watching parties oh yeah yeah yeah the football watching parties uh no it was about his um his his opportunity Oh, his business opportunity. That's right.

Because it just might make you a little bit more wiser when you're a guy my age.

Speaker 2 When you're a guy my age. This is a guy.

Speaker 2 Oh, kick that leg. Look at you.
Make yourself comfortable. Show us the underside of your scrotum, please.

Speaker 2 That's an open scrotum if I've ever seen one, Chrissy. You know what? My wife ain't cheating on me.
Look at this. Look what's going on here.
Why would she cheat on me? I don't know.

Speaker 2 Do you pay attention to her? Are you affectionate? Are you romantic? Are you giving her what she needs? Are you aware of her first and last name financially sexually

Speaker 2 he's looking smiling financially financially i love him sexually financially

Speaker 2 emotionally think about it are you

Speaker 2 what kind of shape are you in are you taking care of yourself Are you making sure you're the best possible you you could be for your wife?

Speaker 2 Are you the best you can be? Do you know what you want out of you?

Speaker 2 You better get on it. You want her to be that way, right? You want her to look good.
You want her to dress nice. You want her to be sexy.
You think she doesn't want the same to you?

Speaker 2 Guys, stop being complacent. All right.
That's how you get yourself in trouble. Here's the facts: 53% of all wives cheat on their men.

Speaker 2 Where did you get that? I mean,

Speaker 2 yeah,

Speaker 2 okay. All right.
53%.

Speaker 2 I can believe it.

Speaker 2 I can believe it. I believe it.
53%.

Speaker 2 So, let's talk about this. If I got you and nine of your buddies together and I interviewed all 10 of you guys and I asked you, do you think your wife is cheating on you? Well,

Speaker 2 probably

Speaker 2 I would say all 10 would say no. But guess what? 5.3 of them are.
Yes. Where's the 0.3? Lead it out.
Five of you guys are wrong. Five of your guys.

Speaker 2 So room of 10, at least five of the wives are cheating on your husbands. Now, think about that.
You know, I like that Frankie went ahead and did the illustration for us.

Speaker 2 Because percentages are hard.

Speaker 2 Yes. Here's a figure.
67% of all guys cheat. 53% of all women cheat.
39% of men get caught. You want to hear something alarming? 48%

Speaker 2 of all cheating wives get caught. And in this video, I'm going to show you how you catch them.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's what I want to know. I want to know how to get the cheating dogs.
Number one, your wife has become more judgmental towards your marriage or your relationship.

Speaker 2 One thing to note about I hate my relationship. Judgmental toward your relationship.
What does that mean? Your marriage and your relationship. Yeah.
This sucks. Yeah, this sucks.
I hate our marriage.

Speaker 2 It's terrible. It's got such an attitude problem.
A cheating spouse. She's always going to try and rationalize her behavior.
Always going to try and make out the humanity.

Speaker 2 Rationalize her behavior. Marriage is far worse than what it is.
You know why? Because it makes them feel like cheating wasn't an option. I had to do it.
It was so bad. They're getting all theatrical.

Speaker 2 I love how this is the exact conversation that Frankie had with at least one of his ex-wives. Exactly.
Yeah. I had to do it, Frankie.
You didn't have to do it.

Speaker 2 You could have been one of the four guys in the room that didn't, 4.7 guys in the room that didn't have their wives cheating on me.

Speaker 2 And dramatic on the marriage. They're judgmental.
Everything you do is wrong. All of a sudden, why? Why all of a sudden? You know why? Because she's trying to rationalize her thoughts.
She's wrong.

Speaker 2 You know, women are a strange breed. He's too passionate about this.

Speaker 2 Women are a strange breed and what are you frankie what are you

Speaker 2 they can actually train themselves in their mind it's like a wolver it's like a mix between wolverine

Speaker 2 and

Speaker 2 that guy bartending a little bit too old yes do you know what i'm talking about dawn yeah i used to work with a dawn used to work with a dawn like that yeah i know career bartenders who are very good at what they do yes but then i know some bartenders who that's just what they happen to do yeah because

Speaker 2 hey, listen, girls keep coming. The cash is good.
You know what I'm saying? There's a Coke dealer at the end of the bar. There's a Coke dealer at the end of the bar.

Speaker 2 To fabricate this marriage that just ain't working so they can justify their ass cheating. Pay attention to that.

Speaker 2 Their ass cheating.

Speaker 2 I love when an ass is cheating, Chrissy. Nothing like a cheating ass.

Speaker 2 All right, well, we'll get back to it. We'll be back in one second.
Oh, I know.

Speaker 2 So did I. We should just go review.
We should just make a, you know, we were talking about finding a niche. Finding our thing.

Speaker 2 Our niche should just be reviewing the hundred videos that Frankie has over and over and over again. 300 episodes a season.

We're back with Frankie.

Speaker 2 We're reviewing a pretty old video. We actually did this, I think, maybe the first time.
It was definitely one of the... Yeah, we were in the other studio.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 And the other studio means across the hall. Yes.
In case anybody was wondering.

Speaker 2 Not like we got some major upgrade. We just took over my other kids' room.
The other veteran room. We've been in all my kids' rooms.
Here we go. Tip number two.
It's the intimacy.

Speaker 2 Number two.

Speaker 2 Yeah, with the devil horn. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 The devil horn two.

Speaker 2 Hello. Now, this could be for a lot of reasons.
You know, women are very moody, so what a tough time.

Speaker 2 What a strange breed.

Speaker 2 Frankie, Frankie. Come on, man.
You've been on this earth too long. You know, this is all misogynistic bullshit.
You can't talk like this anymore.

Speaker 2 Back in your day in Chicago, 1960s, 70s, when you're a teenager, I get it. You know, just

Speaker 2 whatever.

Speaker 2 Tail sign. You know, if your sexual life has just been fading on a regular basis,

Speaker 2 Why is that all of a sudden? It's very easy, gentlemen. Open your eyes.
She's getting laid from someone else. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 That's not true.

Speaker 2 Frankie, it's not true. Relationships go through seasons.
They all do. It's part of what happens.
And if you've got kids, oh, God, if you have kids, forget about it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's what I think makes it harder. Yeah.
I'm surprised people have more kids when they already have kids. It's like, when do you have time to have sex? How does that happen?

Speaker 2 When do you have time? I had a story right now, and they had 11 kids. Jeezy Jones have mercy.

Speaker 2 I was like, oh, my my god yeah like those 16 kids and counting 16 idiots and counting holy potatoes i how do you how that lady was pregnant every year for 20 years or something constantly rejecting you open your eyes so tip number three what what is going on here what are you doing with your vans kicked up on the camera idiot they're constantly asking you to go take that trip why don't you go get away why don't you go visit family how about the golf trip with the buddies you need to go.

Speaker 2 Why don't you pack a bag and get an apartment and move out for six to seven months?

Speaker 2 Turn off the nests and all the ring doorbell cameras if you don't mind. I'm changing the security code.
I'll be sleeping in the guest room with brand new sheets every day. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 She's telling you to go away? Yes, there might be a problem in the relationship. Yeah, but there's a reason why she wants you gone.
So she can spend more time with the person she's cheating with.

Speaker 2 That's my

Speaker 2 She's constantly push, push, pushing for you to take a trip.

Speaker 2 There's a reason why.

Speaker 2 Everything's an ulterior motive to Frankie. But this one I could see.
Like,

Speaker 2 if you have a loved one and they're like, hey,

Speaker 2 what are your friends doing? Ah, they're going to Vegas and they're going to spend the week. You should go again to Vegas.
Yeah, yeah, you should go. Third weekend in a row.
See what's out there.

Speaker 2 What is your aunt in Barcelona doing this month?

Speaker 2 You should go there. Or do you ever notice that the routine might be changing, especially if you've been in a long-term marriage? Let's face it, you have a routine and your wife has a routine.

Speaker 2 If all of a sudden that routine starts changing, well, there's a reason why. Because she's making time for the person that she's cheating with.
So you need to pay special attention.

Speaker 2 Spiritorial. I know.

Speaker 2 Everything's so dramatic okay pay attention if she's doing things different her routine varies she's going out more she's dressing different she looks different she's coming home she got a new pair of socks yesterday look at her her hairs did all of her nails are painted these are all signs she's right up to divorce paperwork

Speaker 2 she's cheating your ass

Speaker 2 a little later she got stuck at the office where she never got stuck before guys these are telltale signs it could happen once in a while i get that but just pay attention to the pattern just be suspicious yes just be

Speaker 2 highly paranoid and anxious about everything that happens in your marriage then you're yeah basically she's cheating don't even don't even question anything she's cheating

Speaker 2 before we get into tip number five let's talk about a few things you know most guys when they get into their 50s

Speaker 2 their 50s they get very complacent. They're not really paying attention to what's going on.

Speaker 2 The obvious signs, because you're so caught up in your own life, your routine, you always take your wife, spouse for granted. And that's probably not...
a good thing to do.

Speaker 2 You know, if you feel water going on in the background, what's that? It sounded like there was like a water going on in the background. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Splashing? Yeah. Well, he is in his own med spa.
Remember, he's in his closet spa. That's right.
And when I say closet spa, I mean a spa that is literally the size of a closet.

Speaker 2 Someone's probably getting a face cleaning or something. We give the best face cleanings or

Speaker 2 a fridge hook pole.

Speaker 2 All the telltale signs, if you're good with that, then that's fine. But if you're not, you need to open up your eyes.
You need to start paying attention to what they're doing. All right.

Speaker 2 Especially if they know you're very complacent, very lethargic, very non-caring. They're going to walk all over your ass.

Speaker 2 You're going to walk all over your ass. If you're sitting on the couch eating Doritos and playing Fortnite, trading Pokemon, you better watch out.

Speaker 2 If you're at Starbucks looking for your bearista and she's spending late nights at the office, it's bound to be trouble. I'm telling you right now.
You're like shooting fish in a barrel.

Speaker 2 Okay, you're easy. All right, start calling them out, start

Speaker 2 asking what they're doing if you're suspecting things, okay, guys. Just

Speaker 2 put a tracker on them, yeah.

Speaker 2 Hire a private investigator immediately, yeah. All right, guys, we're at the climax, and that is tip number five.

Speaker 2 Said no girl to Frankie ever.

Speaker 2 We're at the climax. You couldn't have picked any other.

Speaker 2 We're at the halfway point. Here's number six.
And this is going to be the last tip in this video, but it's the most obvious tip. All right, let's talk about your wife's cell phone.

Speaker 2 Oh, here we go. The old cell phone advice.
Anything different in the way that she's being guarded towards that phone where before her phone was laying out on the counter.

Speaker 2 When you go out to a restaurant or a bar, that phone is laying on the bar top or the tabletop, not hiding anything, didn't care. All of a sudden, that phone is hidden.

Speaker 2 It's in her purse and it's on silent. There's no ringing going on.
There's no ringing going on.

Speaker 2 Ringing.

Speaker 2 Oh, this is so funny. What's going on? Why is that all the sudden? She turned it on silent mode.
Makes sense. It's Apple intelligence that's not neither Apple nor intelligent.

Speaker 2 I don't even have to tell you another word because you already get it, but we're still going to talk about it. She's doing it because she's expecting a text from her significant other.

Speaker 2 If she's got a cold, if she's got a cold. A cold?

Speaker 2 She's got a cold? Is there a flu season? Yes. And that phone a lockout code to her, she never had it before.

Speaker 2 Come on, guys. Come on, guys.
She's got a lockout code. She's She's banging the pool guy.
I don't know how many times I got to say it to you. Oh, he's so

Speaker 2 paranoid.

Speaker 2 Well, obviously, we discussed this. This happened to him.
Oh, this is the story of Frankie. See, the thing about Frankie is he wears his heart on his sleeve.

Speaker 2 So anytime that Frankie tells us something about a relationship, it's because he himself has been through it. He speaks with personal knowledge.
This happened to him.

Speaker 2 This is too many details to know if you have never been cheated on in this manner. He's looking at things backwards.
He's saying, I should have seen these signs. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 But, you know, again,

Speaker 2 when it comes to cheating, I don't think everything is good for the goose, is good for the gander.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if your wife or your husband is hiding their phone from you all of the sudden, maybe that's an indication that something's on. Or maybe they're just planning a surprise party for you.
True.

Speaker 2 Yeah. You never know.

Speaker 2 Well, in case I lose it, I want to make sure no one gets my information no problem give me the lockout code i i want the lockout code she won't give it to you or she'll give it to you and she'll change well that's very suspicious yeah okay

Speaker 2 if you say i need to use your phone and she says over my dead body well then yeah let me

Speaker 2 yeah you might might want to investigate a little further super heavily but that's not what you're saying you're saying if like some you know she starts putting her phone in her purse maybe she just wants to put her phone in her purse be guarded with that phone and she's never on it when she's anywhere around you think about that it's it's the number one giveaway is a woman with that cell phone so guys that's that's it man that that's all that's it she's cheating on you it forget it she's all over for you actually I do got more, but that's for another news.

Speaker 2 I do got five. I love the proper English.
That your wife might be cheating on you. Again, you you know guys when we get into our age we get a little bit complacent.

Speaker 2 We take our wives for granted. We're not always looking at things.
I think it's just time to open your eyes. A little homework assignment.

Speaker 2 Ah, the Frankie making the entire audience paranoid of him and everything that he does. This is part and parcel of a world of Frankie B.
But listen.

Speaker 2 We love it. He's a big, lovable oak.
Yeah, you gotta love the guy.

Speaker 2 Because now I've seen so many pickup artists, and so many of them are so terrible. They're just bad people.

Speaker 2 John Anthony Lifestyle. Yep.
Who's the other one? Sleepy. Paul E.
D.

Speaker 2 Coach Paulie.

Speaker 2 No, not Zoltan. Zoltan was our.

Speaker 2 Zoltan

Speaker 2 is the comedian who we just had on. We love him.

Speaker 2 But who was the other guy? Oh, that is.

Speaker 2 Oh, Zahn. Zahn Perignon.

Speaker 2 Mystery. All of them.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Crackhead pickup artist, that first one we ever did. His videos disappeared pretty quick off the internet.
I heard that. I think it's Jama.
Oh no, that's. That's John Anthony.
