Speaker 2 And welcome back to WSHIT's evening news. It's news you can use before you snooze.
WSHIT, lean and mean, and first on the scene.

Speaker 2 An update on the continuing healthcare from Donna's Dairy Depot and Delicatessen.

Speaker 2 With over 137 people now affected by the ongoing dysentery virus found in the milk and cheese buffet, authorities have yet to stop the spread of the illness.

Speaker 2 With almost all FDA employees now unemployed, Crab Apple continues to see its residents fall ill with symptoms ranging from violent vomiting and fever to explosive diarrhea and tooth loss.

Speaker 2 The head of Crab Apple's health department, recent RFK junior appointee Dr. Hervin Skokle, held the press conference to address the community and give his advice on the extreme symptoms.

Speaker 2 Let's listen now to what the doctor had to say to the residents experiencing gastrointestinal issues.

Speaker 3 A flame is going to come out because it will be on fire and nobody will ever stick a penis in your butthole again.

Speaker 2 And Dr. Skokul also added that residents should take their daily dose of colloidal silver.
And we wish all the best to our anally challenged friends. We'll be back after this commercial break.

Speaker 3 On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Speaker 3 Listen, if we were in the wine cooler business, that's where it's at. We're going to do a merch drop.

Speaker 3 I'm not even going going to say when because then it'll never happen, but we're going to do a merch drop. And like Aster and I are talking about it.
And now I'm thinking wine coolers. Why not?

Speaker 3 Wine coolers. Let's drop wine coolers and then some weird hangover remedy

Speaker 3 made of beet juice.

Speaker 3 Beet juice and colloidal silver.

Speaker 3 I like it. Maybe we should mix our wine cooler with our hangover remedy.
The drink

Speaker 3 that gets you sober.

Speaker 3 the next episode of the commercial break starts now the 30th of minutes oh yeah cats and kittens welcome back to the commercial break i'm brian green this is the mikey to my morrow chris and joy holy best to you chris best to you brian best to you out there in the podcast universe thanks for joining us did you watch the oscars we haven't had a chance to talk about it because this is our first episode since the oscars appeared did you watch the oscars

Speaker 1 the oscars

Speaker 5 not watch the whole thing, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Doing that Conan thing where

Speaker 3 he takes his hip and he moves it back and forth.

Speaker 4 You don't know the Conan thing? Yeah.

Speaker 3 He takes his hip and he moves it back and forth with the string.

Speaker 4 I love that. Yeah, okay.
All right.

Speaker 1 So Conan, Conan did the Oscars.

Speaker 3 I think, you know, he did a job. He did just fine.
Conan did just fine. He was a steady hand on the ship.
He did a great, I think, intro monologue. He did a good job without offending too many people.

Speaker 3 He was really funny. I liked the bit with John Lithgow.

Speaker 1 You know, Conan is a good host.

Speaker 3 He's done this for a long time.

Speaker 1 He did, whatever it was, 26 years, 30 years of late-night television.

Speaker 2 So he certainly knows how to work a crowd. He knows how to be in front of a crowd, how to deliver a monologue, how to be funny.

Speaker 3 He's got a team of writers. He kind of never ages now that I think about it.

Speaker 1 Conan doesn't age. Good docs are good genes.

Speaker 4 Question mark. Hmm.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you're right about that. Conan's been on for that long.
He is, but yeah, I haven't seen an age out there.

Speaker 3 Yeah, his first television show, of course, came on.

Speaker 3 Was it, was he on NBC? Did he come on after the late night? Yeah, he came on after the late night

Speaker 3 after the tonight show, I think is what it was.

Speaker 1 But Conan O'Brien, you know, from moment one, was a very skilled comedian and a comedic writer.

Speaker 3 He's self-effacing. He never takes himself too seriously.
He's humble in the face of all successes. And then when he got fired from the tonight show, he took over the tonight show for two minutes.

Speaker 3 And then when he took over the tonight show, he became an international superstar. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Not because the tonight show did well, it did not do well under him, but because he got fired in such an unceremonious way, and then that pompous jack off, Jay Leno, came back after he promised he was retired and came back for another 10 years.

Speaker 3 You remember that?

Speaker 3 Yeah, that made me, I was never the biggest Jay Leno fan, but that kind of sealed it for me. I was like, that's a really shitty thing to do to your quote-unquote friend.

Speaker 3 But I don't think Jay Leno is friends with anybody. I think Jay Leno is friends with Jay Leno.
Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and his car. Yeah.

Speaker 3 So I say all this to say that I think Conan is uniquely suited, like Jimmy Kimmel, to handle the Oscars or something like the Oscars, an award show that really needs someone who can bounce it along, keep it on time, tell jokes in between, improv when necessary, when he sees things happening, do it on the fly, and move to the next one.

Speaker 3 But it doesn't matter because the Oscars is a snore fest no matter what.

Speaker 4 It kind of seems like that.

Speaker 3 That's why I didn't really tune in.

Speaker 1 It has really become.

Speaker 3 I think when Ben Stiller came up and went like halfway up or something,

Speaker 3 he was introducing some category.

Speaker 6 Oh, he was?

Speaker 3 I must have taken a pee break during that because I think I watched most of it, but I don't remember Ben Stiller. Yeah, he came out.
He was introducing something.

Speaker 3 Speaking of Ben Stiller, Ben Stiller's show, Severance, has now become the most watched streamed television show

Speaker 4 ever.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Something like, you know, 539 million minutes of streaming watched or something.
So

Speaker 3 97% Rotten Tomato Score. A lot of people don't like it, but I do.
I think it's very good.

Speaker 2 I love it.

Speaker 3 I have a love-hate with it, though, because as soon as I watch the latest one, I immediately want to see the next one. Yeah, you have to know what the next one is.
And it's just, they just

Speaker 3 don't do it like that. I wish they would just dump a season on us, dump a season on us, and then I can wait another two years for the next season.
I'm okay with that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 They can move the production along a little faster. That would be great.
But I also understand it must be very hard to write this show. There's a lot of loose ends.
You got to wrap up.

Speaker 3 They don't want to make it. And then to film it.
It's like a puzzle.

Speaker 3 It is like a a puzzle. Anyway, we've talked enough about Severns.
I'm a Severns. I'm a cuck for Severns here on the show.

Speaker 3 But,

Speaker 3 you know, I thought Conan did just a fine job. I think the Oscars is a snooze fest.
I think it's really just become kind of a boring, you know, jack-off show.

Speaker 3 And so let's talk about it just for this segment, and then we're going to move on. You didn't watch the whole thing, did you? No.

Speaker 3 But I was getting updates, too, on my phone of like what's, you know, who won.

Speaker 3 So there are two moments of the show that I think were very interesting, and that was Conan's beginning monologue, kind of the first 15 minutes of the show. They did like a very nice tribute to L.A.

Speaker 3 and movie making and to the

Speaker 3 people who suffered

Speaker 3 horrible things during the wildfires over there in L.A. and the firefighters who, of course, were very brave and went in there and tried to save people's homes and businesses.
So that was very nice.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 3 there had been a lot of talk. And of course, it came true that Ariana Grande

Speaker 3 teamed up with, oh, God, now I can't remember her name. Arvivo or Cynthia Arrivo.
Yes, Cynthia. Cynthia Arrivo, they teamed up to do their whole wicked thing.

Speaker 3 So Ariana Grande came out and she sang somewhere over the rainbow.

Speaker 3 I noticed that she was lip syncing somewhere over the rainbow. Now, I would imagine this has something to do with maybe her voice wasn't in great shape.

Speaker 3 Maybe she wasn't feeling good, something along those lines. But I noticed that the music, the actual backing track, and her lips were not 100% aligned.

Speaker 3 The cameras did not show close-ups when she was moving her lips while while she was doing the lyrics.

Speaker 3 But then I also noticed when Cynthia came out to do the wicked song, you know, Defying Gravity, that she was singing. It appeared that she was singing.
You could hear the breaths.

Speaker 3 You could hear the lips. You could see that Ariana was singing.
What is your favorite pastime? It is my favorite pastime.

Speaker 3 I love to determine whether or not someone is lip syncing, and I like to call it out.

Speaker 3 Now, I don't have any problem with it because it's the Oscars and you don't want to fall flat on your face during the Oscars, especially if you have a cold.

Speaker 3 Listen, this is coming from the former singer of 33 Penis. Okay.
I'm not saying that I could do a better job. I'm just sharing with you that that's what I observed.

Speaker 3 I observed that she was lip-syncing during Somewhere Over the Rainbow and not during Defying Gravity. So Cynthia comes out.
It's mainly a Cynthia song, that Defying Gravity.

Speaker 3 There's a few lines for Ariana.

Speaker 3 She fucking nailed it. I mean, 100% chills up your spine, nailed that song, every note of it.
And that, to me, I'm convinced she's, that girl has got a voice among voices,

Speaker 3 such a tiny little frame, and such a huge voice comes out of it. I will share.

Speaker 3 Well, no, I'm not going to share that because then I'm going to get to comments and stuff like that. I,

Speaker 3 uh, uh,

Speaker 3 Brian, should you? This is one of those moments when Brian goes, Should you, or will you regret this 10 days from now when you have a list of text messages beating you up about what you just said.

Speaker 3 Okay, I'm not going to share it. Never mind.
You make your own judgment calls. But Cynthia has an amazing voice.
She brought the house down. Everybody's standing up.

Speaker 3 And I thought to myself, okay, this is a great start to the Oscars.

Speaker 3 Let's keep it going as my children are screaming. My children are doing their own version of Defying Gravity in the background.

Speaker 3 They're practicing. But then honestly, it just became a snooze fest.
It was, you know, award after award. The presentation style was not particularly interesting.
Conan did not,

Speaker 3 he was not on camera enough, I think, to make a super impact on what happened.

Speaker 3 He showed up for a few seconds, made a one-liner, and then went away, introducing the next people who were introducing the next category.

Speaker 3 And that, the way that they did it this year, for those of you that didn't watch, and most of you didn't watch, apparently, due to the because I looked at the ratings, they five people, best cinematography, five people nominated, five people came out on stage, and then they would talk a little bit about that cinematographer, but they wouldn't show the work that they were talking about enough for you to get an idea of what

Speaker 3 they actually did. That's right.
So, how the fuck am I supposed to make a snap judgment about who's supposed to win? Isn't that the fun of the award shows?

Speaker 3 It's like, I have no fucking clue what they're talking about. I didn't see the movie.

Speaker 3 But if you show me 15 seconds of the cinematography work, then maybe I can make a snap judgment and be a Monday morning quarterback. That's what we all like to do.

Speaker 3 But they didn't give us a chance to do that because somebody's yapping about them. And I don't care.
I want to see the work. If you're going to do best costume, let's see the costumes.
Let's not

Speaker 3 please. What? I don't understand.
It was a gimmick.

Speaker 3 It was a gag. And I'm not sure it worked to great effect.
That's my personal opinion.

Speaker 3 But then there were, you know, all the winners came up. They did their little

Speaker 3 spiel. Kieran Colkin, I thought, gave a great speech.
Did you see Kieran Culkin's speech? No. Okay.
So I'm going to talk to myself. Kieran Kulkin.

Speaker 3 I read about it, though. It was something to do with his wife and then the baby.
They would have another baby if he won the two awards. And it was in an Emmy or a something or a SAG or a Golden Globe.

Speaker 3 And the Academy Awards. Yeah, if they had two kids, they were going to have a third if he won one award.

Speaker 3 When he won that third award, the third kid award, she said to him out in the parking lot, because he had always wanted four kids. She said to him, You win an Oscar,

Speaker 3 and I'll give you the fourth kid. And he said,

Speaker 3 the fourth kid. Oh, yeah.
They've already had three. Yeah.
So

Speaker 3 he goes, Ye of little faith, we're getting working on the fourth kid, which I thought was a very cute shout out.

Speaker 3 It was a very cute anecdote that he said. And I didn't see the movie that Karen was in, but I don't care.
I've almost watched it a few times, but I haven't. What's that movie? Is it Jesse Eisenberg?

Speaker 3 What's it called? I Am Mine or You Are You?

Speaker 3 Something about pain, I think. Oh.
Okay. I'm going to watch it when I have time.
Astron and I had the best of intentions, the best of intentions to at least watch two of the 50. Love is Blind.

Speaker 3 No, I don't care about Love is Blind anymore. I'm done with it.
I don't give a shit. It's too boring.

Speaker 3 This year it's just too boring.

Speaker 3 The Midwesterners are not bringing the heat, and I'm not all that interested in it.

Speaker 3 I understand that there's some drama going on behind the scenes, but it's more interesting to read about it on social media than it is to watch it on the actual show. There you go.

Speaker 3 I know we'll finish it at some point, but I'm just, we, we're just like, eh, okay.

Speaker 3 We made it, we were going to make an effort to watch at least two of the 50 best motion picture.

Speaker 3 We're going to watch Anora, and we're going to watch Conclave. We're going to watch those two.
I saw Anora and Conclave. We have not gotten to either of them.

Speaker 3 Well, the thing is, I saw that Anora won, and it was a good movie.

Speaker 3 It was not, in my opinion, was not a movie like, oh my God, you know how some years there's those movies that win big, you know, and because it's just like, whoa, it's that movie. That is, you know,

Speaker 3 I see why it won. It was so good.
Not that it's happened for me this time. So many people are like, this movie is life-changing.
And I'm like, life-changing? Really?

Speaker 3 I saw Amy Schumer like doing a shout-out to the Anora cast. Really? And she was like, this movie was life-changing.
Life-changing in every way.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, that's a big statement to make about a movie. And we've all seen those movies for us personally that have changed our lives.
Mine is Pink Floyd the Wall because I was high in acid.

Speaker 3 But anyway, so, you know, it's it. I get it, but is it, was it really that good? It only made $15 million at the box office.

Speaker 3 I thought it was a, it was a good movie, a great movie, but I wasn't like, oh my God, this is so good. You know, so Mikey Madsen wins for Best Actress, and she beats out Demi Moore.

Speaker 3 I think Mikey is the safe choice for the Academy. And I think Demi Moore.
Her movie Substance was good. Okay.
I mean, I really enjoyed that. Here's my take, and you tell me

Speaker 2 that

Speaker 3 Substance is in some ways a

Speaker 3 grotesque and weird movie. It's a weird character that Demi Moore is playing.
It's not like a traditional Oscar-winning role. It's not a traditional Oscar-winning movie, but it was a very good movie.

Speaker 3 And she was very good in it.

Speaker 3 But I think the Academy, who is now a little bit younger in age, right? They've kind of changed a number of years ago. They kind of, you know, put out the old and brought in the new.

Speaker 3 That maybe that particular performance is a hard one to move, like to check the box of. And they go, oh, well, Mikey was really good.
And,

Speaker 3 you know,

Speaker 3 my opinion is that Demi Moore's the role that she played was maybe not like an Oscar

Speaker 3 type of, it's not a traditional Oscar movie, you know, it's a weird French film about people crawling out of their skin. Isn't that essentially what it is?

Speaker 3 Isn't it about a substance that she takes?

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, it's, I mean, for me, it was more about like the take on Hollywood or just women in general, like aging and how if you had the the opportunity to go back to being like a younger self of you, would you?

Speaker 3 And so you take this pill, this substance, and then through that,

Speaker 3 there is a younger self that is born out of her body. And so that's the grotesque part is when you see the younger girl coming out of her body.
Coming out of her body, right?

Speaker 3 It's like crawling out of her own skin, right? So but let me ask you this: like you saw a Nora and you saw

Speaker 3 the substance. Which one

Speaker 3 was the more

Speaker 3 which one was, in your opinion, was the better performance? I mean, the substance was more of like a shocking, you know.

Speaker 3 I think that's the point I'm making.

Speaker 3 I don't know that the shock value of the performance outweighs Mikey playing kind of this vulnerable, edgy, sharp. Yeah, she was really good in that movie.
Yeah. But

Speaker 3 it wasn't life-changing, I didn't think, for me. No, hey, listen.
I mean, you know, to each their own.

Speaker 3 There you go. And Demi Moore, to be Demi Moore for just a moment, and that moment to be sitting at the Oscars after all these years.
300 years of acting or however long she's been doing.

Speaker 3 All these years. From Bruce Springsteen videos to the friends to being kind of called, like, you know, a bit of a popcorn actress, I would say, like someone who doesn't, who can't do serious roles.

Speaker 3 She's just kind of one of these, you know, light on their feet comedic actresses who did Friends.

Speaker 3 What other performance has Demi Moore done that has gotten such notoriety in such a meaningful way as far as a dramatic actress goes? So many things, though.

Speaker 3 I know she's been in a lot of the world.

Speaker 3 I mean, not officer and gentleman. What it was,

Speaker 3 you can't handle the truth. But,

Speaker 3 God, what is that movie? I can't believe it. I don't know.

Speaker 3 A few good men. Oh, a few good men.
Oh, that's a good idea. A few good men.
She was good. She was in decent proposal.
I mean, St. Elmo's Fire.
Charlie's Angels. She's been in so many things.

Speaker 3 It is hard to believe that she's never been up for a huge award before. I can't believe she didn't win.
She wasn't up for G.I. Jane.
G.I. Jane.

Speaker 3 Wasn't she up for an award for G.I. Jane or Striptease or something? Ghost.
Ghost. Yeah.
I mean, great movie. I mean, all of these, you know, I get it.
I like so much. I get that they think that

Speaker 3 it's like popcorn actress, right? I understand what they're saying when they say that. But when you think back on it, she has chewed on a few roles that were pretty groundbreaking.

Speaker 3 Striptease made so much noise when it came out. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 No, not Ghost, but G.I. Jane made so much noise when it came out.
Ghost was a huge deal when it came out. Didn't Whippy Goldberg win an Academy Award for that?

Speaker 3 I think she did. I know she did.
I think she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in that film.

Speaker 3 So to be her sitting in that seat for just a moment and recognize that the movie that she just made is essentially coming true in real life. Yeah.

Speaker 3 The whole premise premise of substance is happening right in front of her eyes. The young lady beats out the older woman who has seen her better days in Hollywood and has aged to some degree.

Speaker 3 And it was just like life imitating art in such a weird way. And I'm sorry.
That's true. But I know there's a lot of interpret, there's like a lot of reels going around

Speaker 3 with Demoni Morris' face when Mikey Madsen's called out. Oh, really?

Speaker 3 I think she handled it as graciously as possible, but you can tell she was on a roll leading up to this, and then it just, she just didn't get it. It just didn't happen for her.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think her daughter posted a

Speaker 3 post shot of like her in a bathrobe with two huge bowls of french fries.

Speaker 3 Like, whatever. Somebody put it so sad that Courtney Cox didn't win in Oscar.

Speaker 3 It's like, that's not Courtney Cox. I get the joke, but it wasn't Courtney Cox.
Okay, Quentin Tarantino came out and announced best director. I do have to say that Quentin Tarantino.

Speaker 3 Isn't he supposed to have a new movie coming out or something? He's always,

Speaker 3 he's retiring. He's doing one more movie.
Well, that's the one more has been supposed to come out for a while. Yeah, but that's Quentin all the time.
He's always saying he's making the next movie.

Speaker 3 He's writing the next movie. The thing about Quentin is he's got to have his hands in every single bit of the movie, which I think makes those movies uniquely Quentin Tarantino.

Speaker 3 But he's got to write every line. He's got to do everything.
He's got to make the lighting himself. He's like that Christopher Nolan.

Speaker 3 The two of them, and James Cameron, they're like super involved directors, but I guess the best directors in the world are the ones that really take control of every single bit of it.

Speaker 3 And listen, I haven't met a Quentin Tarantino movie that I don't like. Exactly.

Speaker 3 And I got to say that he is just such a cool cat. Like he comes out on stage and he's talking to people.

Speaker 3 He's talking to the crowd as if it was one person at a bar and you guys were a best friend.

Speaker 3 You get the sense that Quentin Tarantino is cool in any situation. And I don't care how old the guy is.
I think he's always going to be that way. He's just one of those cool cats.
He came out.

Speaker 3 He did best director. Yeah, it's just him.

Speaker 3 I just wanted to share that. Quentin Tarantino coming on the Oscars made it just a little bit more interesting than it otherwise would be.

Speaker 3 Morgan Freeman showed up to talk about his friend Gene Hackman, who had just passed away.

Speaker 3 Under extraordinarily strange circumstances. Extraordinarily strange circumstances.
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 3 I mean, I guess we're going to find out what happened, but it seems like, and I've talked about it with a couple of different people. It seems like maybe, I mean, Gene Hackman was 95.

Speaker 3 And in failing health, according to some people. It seems like maybe he died, and then the wife maybe committed suicide with the pills.

Speaker 3 And then there happened to be a dog that was in the kennel, and it died, too, of starvation. Yeah, it's nine or ten days.

Speaker 3 I mean, they didn't find, yeah, they didn't find him for like nine or ten days. She was mummified.
Yeah, I mean, that's a long time.

Speaker 3 So at first, it was shocking because you're like, all three of them dead. And it seemed like it had fresh and it just happened.

Speaker 3 But I think the timeline of events may have been different for all of those things to have happened. Yeah, I don't disagree with you.

Speaker 3 And when I first read about it, at first I thought, oh, oh, there's something nefarious

Speaker 3 of bandits going around Santa Fe, New Mexico, killing people.

Speaker 3 Carbon monoxide people were talking about. Or murder, suicide, or something along those lines.
But then when you hear the, at least the

Speaker 3 description of the scene, it appears one died first and the other one went after because of whatever. Or she died and she was his caretaker and he fell on the floor and couldn't get up, right?

Speaker 3 Something along those lines. I don't really know, obviously, you know, more information to come.
But when they talked about the dog dead, I was like, right.

Speaker 3 But, you know, hey, listen, it is not strange for people, older people, to die with their dogs in the house and they get eaten by the dog. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And I know Blue would be the first one to take a bite out of me. I know she would.
Okay. That's why I don't like Blue because I know that Blue would turn on me in a heartbeat.

Speaker 3 She may seem all, you know, small and not very ferocious, but if she didn't have food, that dog wouldn't go three hours and she'd start chewing on my penis. I know it.
I just know it. All right.

Speaker 3 I do have to also share that, you know, I liked the, they did a performance of the whiz, which I thought was fine. Queen Latifah did a fine job.
It was fine.

Speaker 3 And Ariana Grande and Cynthia and a couple other people in the front row started dancing, but the rest of the academy didn't even bother to stand up. And I mean, it's the whiz.
It's like, you know,

Speaker 3 I don't know. I thought it just showed just everybody in the audience is boring too.
None of them are standing up and dancing in this extremely soulful, you know, catchy song.

Speaker 3 Ariana and Cynthia figured it out. Why didn't everybody else stand up? You don't have to dance.
You can just stand up and do a little, you know, head-bopping.

Speaker 3 But they didn't put any other great music in the show. I mean, you had the Bob Dylan

Speaker 3 bio pick that was there. There's so much great music from some of these movies.
Every year, you could have showcased some of this stuff. And instead you pick The Wiz, really?

Speaker 3 I mean, I know that Quincy Jones was winning an award, but The Wiz was like the only song besides the Wicked song that made any kind of impression on me whatsoever.

Speaker 3 There are only three songs played the entire time. The other one was, uh,

Speaker 3 the other one was, I think it was another Wiz song. I think they did two Wiz songs.

Speaker 3 Two Wiz songs? The Wiz came out in 1971. It's 2025.
I get it. I get why you're doing it.

Speaker 3 I get the through line here, but I think you could have added some pop, some music, something to move the festivities along just a little bit.

Speaker 3 Because then, in the end, the most boring thing that happened the entire night was Adrian Brody's insufferable six-minute acceptance speech.

Speaker 3 Adrian did this 26 years ago when he won for the pianist, and then he did it again this time.

Speaker 3 He literally told them to shut the music off while he finished what he had to say, and then he had to say nothing. Not a fucking thing that meant anything.
Be good to each other.

Speaker 3 Okay, that's great, Adrian. We already know that.
We get it. He basically made the same speech, 26 years difference, and just almost the same length.

Speaker 3 He beat out everybody else for the longest acceptance speech ever presented

Speaker 3 ever in the history of the academy, ever.

Speaker 3 And he only beat himself out

Speaker 3 for that particular award. He is insufferable, patting himself on the back and talking about how acting is a tough job and it's a fragile profession.

Speaker 3 I don't disagree, but this is like, there's millions of people across the world that are watching you.

Speaker 3 Like, I don't know. It just came across as very insulting, like, very

Speaker 3 jerking himself off. And

Speaker 3 I didn't care for it. Adrian's a fine actor.
I've seen him in films and a lot of stuff. And I like him when he's.
And I want to watch the Brutalist, but it's three and a half hours long.

Speaker 3 It's just as long as that fucking acceptance speech. For God's sake.
Because you really have to walk all of the Masiri's time.

Speaker 3 It was so long that Hulu decided to cut off the last 12 minutes of the show because they had a hard out at whatever time it was, 10:45. What did you do with Hulu?

Speaker 3 Hulu was live streaming it because ABC, Hulu, Disney, and they cut off the last 12 minutes of the show. Which is basically where you find out best picture, right? Where you find out best picture.

Speaker 3 Now, listen, you didn't miss anything. I'm just sharing with you.
You didn't miss anything.

Speaker 3 They could have cut out Adrian's fucking half of his acceptance speech and probably gotten an extra 30 minutes on there. I think it went on forever.

Speaker 3 Anybody who watched it lives knows what I'm talking about. It was insufferable, incoherent, and irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.
I think we should all be good to each other.

Speaker 3 I get the message, Adrian, but honestly, enough is enough. 30 seconds.
Fine. Move on to the next one and play a song that's been made in the last 50 years.

Speaker 3 All right, we'll take a break and I'll stop talking about the Oscars. We'll be back.

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

Speaker 3 All right. I do also have to just say,

Speaker 3 I promise this will be the last thing I say about the Oscars. Where was the star power for the Oscars? No Clooney, no Brad Pitt, no Uma Thurman.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, there were like all the regular kind of like,

Speaker 3 you know, grandfathered in actors and actresses that we usually see all dialed up, you know, sitting there in the front row. None of them there.
And I don't, but Uma Thurman was there.

Speaker 3 I didn't read that. I didn't see Uma Thurman there, but I just noticed and then I read there was a lack of kind of that, you know, typical Hollywood elite that they're there.
Not that

Speaker 3 it would have made it any different, but at least you, you know, seeing Clooney all dressed up. Yeah, it's like, that's a nice thing.
You like to see Clooney dressed up. He's a handsome guy.

Speaker 3 He is a handsome guy. You look at the Oscars and they probably show him the, if Clooney's there, they're showing him six or seven times during the Oscars.
He's got that expressive face.

Speaker 3 Clooney didn't really have a movie out. No.
Clooney hasn't had a movie in like 10 years. Where did Clooney go? What's the last movie he did? Lake Como.
I mean, yeah, Lake Como. That's it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I I guess when you have a private island in Italy, you don't

Speaker 3 come any places. Palatial estate.
Oh, my God, to be clooney. And all you have to do is those coffee commercials every couple of weeks.
And you make

Speaker 3 a big tequila, you know, the tequila brand. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 They don't need anything.

Speaker 3 Why don't we have a tequila brand?

Speaker 3 Why don't we have something that's like of

Speaker 3 value? Value.

Speaker 3 Because the content certainly isn't it. I mean, I'd like it to be, but that's not making us any money.
Why don't we start a wine or something? I would love that. Brian and Chrissy's wine coolers?

Speaker 3 TCB lights.

Speaker 3 TCB bubbles.

Speaker 3 The wine cooler. The wine cooler.
Like a really syrupy blue raspberry wine cooler. I like that idea.
TCB, giving you a headache on a Tuesday night.

Speaker 3 You know, like really cheap. Yes.
We'll get you drunk and make you feel like junk.

Speaker 3 Why not? TCB, TCB, wine coolers for teenagers.

Speaker 3 We'll target teenagers for our sales. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 We'll get like a, I don't know, like a camera, like a Joe Camouco character going on so we can target the teenagers.

Speaker 3 We'll sell them at the vape shop. Yeah, I think due to Doge deregulations, I think you can now market alcohol and cigarettes to kids.

Speaker 3 Isn't that true? Yeah, it's got to be. I don't know.

Speaker 3 Yeah, listen, if we were in the wine cooler business, that's where it's at. We're going to do a merch drop.

Speaker 3 I'm not even going to say when, because then it'll never happen, but we're going to do a merch drop. And like Aster and I are talking about it.
And now I'm thinking wine coolers. Why not?

Speaker 3 Wine coolers. Let's drop wine coolers and then some weird hangover remedy

Speaker 3 made of beet juice.

Speaker 3 Beet juice and colloidal silver.

Speaker 3 I like it. Maybe we should mix our wine cooler with our hangover remedy.
The drink

Speaker 3 that gets you sober.

Speaker 3 the alcoholic drink that gets you sober brian tcv wine coolers that's good for the kids tcv wine cooler take the kids take the keys away hey listen it works for everybody else you know i see that sam murrill

Speaker 3 and his buddy mark norman and they have it they have a whiskey brand i think it's a whiskey brand they have a whiskey brand and i see them out there promoting that all the time and they're at parties and they're at restaurants and they're eating steaks and they're drinking drinks and they're taking promotional pictures.

Speaker 3 It looks like a ton of fucking fun. Yeah.
And while I don't drink all that much, that's not to say I wouldn't

Speaker 3 become a billionaire. I'd stay drunk for a couple more years.
You know what I'm saying? I could deal with my kids if I had a private plane.

Speaker 3 If I had a private plane, I could drink wine coolers till I'm blue in the face. TCB wine coolers.

Speaker 3 Helps with the paint. May turn your skin blue.

Speaker 3 Colloidal silver. That's it.
colloidal silver we're making wine coolers and the flavors are going to be colloidal silver homegrown vaccine

Speaker 3 we're going to do a bunch of them

Speaker 3 it's just going to all be weird conspiracy theory names and we're going to mix all kinds of tonics and and stuff in there because

Speaker 3 the content is not making us a millionaire for sure we're far from that But if we could get some kind of cocktail or something that we could go sell and then just we sell it to the bigger liquor distributors, right?

Speaker 3 Isn't that how it works? Yeah, I guess. I don't know.
I feel like I've known a couple of people that have tried to break into that. It's so hard.
It's hard. Yeah, it's really hard.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I had a guy.

Speaker 3 That's maybe why the celebrities do it is because they at least have a name. Yes.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's it. You got to have, like, it's really hard to convince a distributor to put those on shelves.
And then it's super hard to convince the people who own the stores to give you shelf space.

Speaker 3 And if you don't have the shelf space, you're not selling the liquor. Like, it's all, it's, it's really a racket is what it is.
But so are cereal aisles too. It's the same thing.

Speaker 3 You can't make a new cereal and get into Publix. It just doesn't work that way.

Speaker 3 You have to show them that you can sell, convince them to, you know, you've watched an episode of Shark Tank, you know how it goes. I get all my information from Shark Tank, okay? Kevin O'Leary.

Speaker 3 But I will share that I had a friend who started a energy drink business, like an energy drink water.

Speaker 3 And they went around. to every mom and pop gas station.
We all know the ones, the ones that sell crack pipes and they have a Bitcoin and Y Brian 3000.

Speaker 3 The Y Brian 3000, they have a Bitcoin machine in the corner, you know, where you can buy Bitcoin by putting money into the till.

Speaker 3 We all know those gas stations and they went around to every gas station in the southeast trying to get that sold. And they did.
They would sell like a case at a time or whatever.

Speaker 3 And they were doing this all out of the back of their truck. And this went on for seven fucking years.
They tried to get Coca-Cola to buy it. They tried to get Pepsi to buy it.

Speaker 3 They tried to get, you know, distributors to buy it. They tried to get some kind of help.
and no one and no one would even take a meeting with them. They were like, yeah, get a number.

Speaker 3 Everybody's got this same idea and everybody's doing the same fucking thing that you're doing. And by the way, we can just make our own.
Why would we buy yours? We can just make our own.

Speaker 3 We already have all the facilities and everything to do it. It's a really, really retail is a really, really tough business to get into.

Speaker 3 But then soda drinks or energy drinks or waters, forget about it. That's really tough.
But since we are such notable podcasters, I mean, we're like number 106 on the comedy charts.

Speaker 3 So since we're like number 106 on the comedy charts, I think we could sell a case or two of this blue

Speaker 3 colloidal silver energies slash COVID

Speaker 3 vaccine slash drink and I'll get you sober before you get drunk kind of drink. It's a magical drink.
It fixes everything and it's endorsed by RFK Jr. That's all I got to say.
What else do you need?

Speaker 3 Yeah. By the way,

Speaker 3 not, you know, not going to talk too much politics here, but you notice that RFK Jr. is singing a new tune about the measles vaccine.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he's realizing that under his watch, he doesn't want millions of people to die. So he's like,

Speaker 3 about that measles vaccine. That measles thing is scary.
That's very scary. I noticed I started thinking about it.
I was like, am I updated?

Speaker 3 I don't remember when I had mine. I don't know.
Are you just updated for the rest of your life? Yeah, I got one like 10 years ago, I think. I think I got one about a decade ago.
Okay.

Speaker 3 When I turned a certain age, when I turned 20 about a decade ago,

Speaker 3 I did get an update. I got like tetanus.

Speaker 3 I remember getting like an updated tetanus shot. I got tetanus and an MMR shot, I think.
Measles, mumps, and rubella. Yeah.
That's all we need is rubella to come back. What is rubella?

Speaker 3 And I don't want it to come back. Measles sounds terrible.
Measles is like chickenpox on fire. It sounds really bad.
Yeah, you do not want the brain. You don't have brain swells, I think, too.

Speaker 3 Brain swells, you get super fevers. And you don't get rid of it.
No, it stays with your body the entire time. It's just like the chickenpox virus.

Speaker 3 It stays in you, dormant, ready to come alive at the next, you know, shitty, stressful period in your life and attack you. It's not a good thing.
And, you know, it can morph. It can mutate.

Speaker 3 And that's why in the last hundred years or whenever they've started the measles vaccine, there have been few, if any, fatal cases of the measles.

Speaker 3 And now there have been six in a short period of time. And, you know, I think, listen, people can be wrong and then they can be right.
And you got to applaud them when they're right. Right.

Speaker 3 And so I do applaud the fact that RFK has come out and said, take the measles vaccine. It does save lives.
I can applaud that. But I mean, the damage is already done.

Speaker 3 There's like 168 people in Texas that have the fucking measles and most of them are children. And it's like,

Speaker 3 like, some of my kids do not have their full course of vaccinations yet. And I'm just sharing that I firmly believe in the science.
And every other doctor that I've talked to has said so.

Speaker 3 The only people who have cautioned me against vaccines are people who don't wear shoes and smell like a dirty rat. Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 They're still looking for their career path at 67 years old. And that seems to be following fish in a van.
So listen, whatever it is you personally choose to do, do it. That's fine.

Speaker 3 But also, there is this community aspect that is to be considered. That if it, if the measles mutates and becomes something we're not vaccinated against, most of us, then it becomes a real shit show.

Speaker 3 And I think that is the concern now. It's like,

Speaker 3 yeah, yay, welcome. Round two.
We're all going to. God.
Yes. This is idiocracy live.
It's happening to us live. It's fucking insane.

Speaker 3 Speaking of idiocracy.

Speaker 3 I'll share a personal story that I'm sharing this as a cautionary tale. And I will say this before I get started.

Speaker 3 I am not proud of the way anybody acted here, except for the innocent

Speaker 3 person involved in this. And then I'll share this.

Speaker 3 The other day I go to pick up one of my kids from school, one of my daughters from school.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 her school is in a

Speaker 3 I don't even want to say that. It's in a building that is multi-purpose.
So it's not just a school. There are other things that are going on there, but it's very small.
It's not a big school at all.

Speaker 3 It's probably 70 kids in the entire school. And this is not a regular school.
This is like a preschool, right?

Speaker 3 So there is,

Speaker 3 you know, a decent-sized parking lot there. And the parking lot is like every other parking lot you have ever been in in your entire life.
And that is two rows on opposite sides of parking spaces.

Speaker 3 One side on one side behind it is the building. On the other side is a forest, a county forest.
Okay. Okay.
And walking trails and stuff like that. But that is also very small.

Speaker 3 So parking lot, two rows of parking spots, and then a lane for people to drive in. You understand what a parking lot is.
I don't need to explain it to you. Yeah, thanks for the visual.
All right.

Speaker 3 So I go in this little traffic circle to go pick up my daughter.

Speaker 3 And then you can either go right into the parking lot, you can go out that way, or you can go left into the parking lot and you can go that way. Two different streets, two different ways to go.

Speaker 3 And I like to go left. I could go right, but I like to go left.
That's just the way that it is. When I am approaching the traffic circle, I notice that there are cones in the parking space.

Speaker 3 If I was to take that left, there are cones in those parking spaces. And I can see at the corner of the parking lot near the exit is a tree truck.
Someone is cutting down trees.

Speaker 3 It's got the big, you know, grinder on the back of it. And there are a couple of guys over there with the yellow vests on.
And I can see that they're doing some work. Fine, whatever.
Okay.

Speaker 3 I guess they block off the parking spaces so that in case any tree limbs fall, no one gets hurt. Or they need the room to navigate.
I I don't know. I don't care.
I don't think much of it.

Speaker 3 So as I'm, as I pick up my daughter around the traffic circle and the middle of the parking lot, and then I go to the left,

Speaker 3 I'm driving by the, where the cones are, and there is a guy that's picking up one of the cones from one of the parking spaces. I've got my windows down.
It's a nice day.

Speaker 3 As I'm driving by him, he whips around.

Speaker 3 whips the cone at my car and screams obscenely. Now, I'm not, listen, I'm not throwing throwing stones in a glass house.
I do not have the, I am not exactly the picture of vocabulary.

Speaker 3 I often use cuss words in my daily life, and I don't shy away from doing that around my children either. I think they need to understand how real people talk.

Speaker 3 I think we were talking about this with Kathleen,

Speaker 3 Madigan, who will be on next week.

Speaker 9 So he goes, Motherfucker, did you not fucking see I'm putting fucking cones here?

Speaker 3 He's screaming at me. He's got a hard hat on.
He's probably 20-something years old. long hair, long beard, you know, screaming at me.
Windows are down, daughter's in the car seat in the back.

Speaker 3 And I was like, no, I did not. And I was like, fuck you, right? Because now I'm pissed.
He's throwing a cone at the car. He's screaming obscenities while my daughter is in the back.

Speaker 3 That's a scary thing probably for a little kid, but it's also scary for me because I don't know what this guy's intentions are. You know, I see that you have the yellow vest on.

Speaker 3 I understand that you're upset, but I don't know what about.

Speaker 3 I don't see you putting cones anywhere where I'm not supposed to be driving. The lane is clear.
That's where I'm going.

Speaker 3 And so he runs around the car to the side of my car, grabs on the inside of the car and is screaming at me through the window.

Speaker 9 You fucking see I'm fucking blocking this lane here. Can you fucking see that?

Speaker 3 And I drove. I just drove.
That's what I did. I just said, yo, not even staying here for this.

Speaker 3 I am driving.

Speaker 3 But as I am am driving forward, another young guy,

Speaker 3 they're like twins, right? The long hair, long beard, the whole hard hat, yellow vest, the whole nine yards on,

Speaker 3 jumps from. So now I'm driving toward the exit, and there is a guy there sitting near the truck.
And he runs out into the middle of the road and throws his hands up. Really? Yes.

Speaker 3 And now he's screaming at me.

Speaker 9 There's a fucking tree coming fucking down. The fuck you think you're doing, you fucking asshole.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, I don't fucking care.

Speaker 3 that's what i said to him i don't care and i drove and he now both of them are by the way now the other guy has run up to the car so now there's two guys standing there screaming profanities into my window and i say i don't care i'm going home that's what i said and i drove and i drove out of the parking lot there was no tree down there was you know it was they were feet, you know, 50 feet away from anything that I didn't see any work being done in the middle of the road.

Speaker 3 I wasn't endangering anybody's life including myself or my daughters had i thought that as embarrassing as it would have been i would have backed up and gone the other way but that was not happening there was no tree there were no tree limbs there was no i don't even those guys weren't even working they were sitting there yelling at me it's like what are you doing so i drove as fast as i could and i sped out of the parking lot and as i sped out of the parking lot i'm like holy shit because

Speaker 3 i'm sure some of the parents saw that right they had to have it's not that far from where the traffic circle is. Number one.
Number two, I probably could have reacted a little bit differently.

Speaker 3 Maybe cooler heads could have prevailed. Maybe I could have said there were no cones blocking the area.
But maybe I could have said, hey, do me a favor.

Speaker 3 Stand behind my car while I run over you real quick.

Speaker 3 We'll make sure everything's okay. Second of all, it's not a police officer.

Speaker 3 It's not like this guy has some measure of control over what happens. And there's clearly no present danger in front of me.

Speaker 3 So if he was going to put cones in the lane so that people couldn't drive there, he hadn't yet done that. He was in the process, but it didn't look like that to me.

Speaker 3 He looked like he was picking up cones from the parking spaces. And he didn't need to scream obscenities.
Yeah, that was uncalled for.

Speaker 3 You can see my daughter in the back seat because the windows are down. Like, I can see that, I know that you can see this.
And screaming and yelling like a fool is not helping anybody.

Speaker 3 The guy simply could have put his hand up, right? And just said, hey, bro, listen, there's a tree being cut down there. Can you back up for me? Right

Speaker 3 now, I also could have just backed up and turned around, but I just felt like I just, in the moment, adrenaline took over.

Speaker 3 I was going to say, your adrenaline had to be totally pumped. Well, he threw the cone at the car, too.
Like, that's a little messy. Yeah, that's aggressive, just to start.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's like everybody is so on fucking edge all the time that it's really, it's, it, it really is a scary time to be alive, right?

Speaker 3 This guy was so on edge about someone driving past him that he was willing to put people in danger, including himself, in order to get his point across. But what was the point? The point was what?

Speaker 3 You know, there was no tree down. There was, if you, if you really thought that people were in danger, you should have put the cones on there long before you decided to cut any trees down.

Speaker 3 Do you know what I'm saying? Well, right. That's bad coordination, too, on their part.

Speaker 3 I mean, it's pickup time. Yeah, it's pickup time.
It's pickup time at school. You know, yeah.
Let's not cut down trees. Anyway, I'll talk more about it.

Speaker 3 Let's take a short break and then we'll get back.

Speaker 7 Rachel here. While Brian takes his old man Bladder to the little boys' room, let's talk turkey.

Speaker 10 Studies show that 100% of everybody in the world wants to curl up indoors and do nothing because it's so darn cold out there.

Speaker 10 That's why many people are turning to Bambas, whose pillowy plush slippers and warm merino wool socks have been said to be the most comfortable in the history of feet.

Speaker 10 Bambas' products have been found to boost coziness by up to 1 million percent. Okay, enough fake statistics, but could bomba socks and slippers really be the cure?

Speaker 3 Yeah, so there's my Tuesday afternoon.

Speaker 3 There's my Tuesday afternoon.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was, and then it kind of like it stuck with me for the rest of the day, right? I'm replaying it in my head.

Speaker 3 My daughter is scared. She didn't like say a word.
The attire we're right home. And I was like, listen, honey, this is a little hard to explain.

Speaker 3 But I drove by those guys asking me to stop because I didn't want to get into any more of an argument with them. And I'm sorry that you had to see that.

Speaker 3 And even daddy probably could have been a little, a little cooler head. Like 99% of the time, I'm really not that guy.
Like I don't go around yelling at people. I'm actually quite the opposite.

Speaker 3 If you find me in real life, I'm just kind of, I'm just kind of, I'm not quiet, but I certainly wouldn't be the guy yelling in the middle of a grocery store or something like that.

Speaker 3 But man, it just all happened so quickly. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I got nervous that my daughter was in the back.

Speaker 3 I didn't like the fact that the guys were in my car yelling at me, essentially. And I quickly recognized that they are no state authority that I have to listen to.
Get out of here, right? Right.

Speaker 3 Get out of here before it escalates and someone says or does something stupid that you can't take back.

Speaker 3 I mean, whipping a cone at the car is a, it's a pretty, you know, it's a pretty extreme measure to take. It really is.
Over your tree job. You know what I'm saying? Not that tree job isn't cool.

Speaker 3 It's cool. Tree job.
I know that I've had whatever. Tree guys are tree guys.
But it just seemed a little hot-headed for the moment. Like, yeah, it hit the car.
Yes, he whipped it right at the bumper.

Speaker 3 And I was like, wow, you know, what just happened?

Speaker 3 Anyway, that was my Tuesday afternoon, Chrissy. The world is on fire.
Everyone needs to take a breath. Rev down.

Speaker 3 Rev down.

Speaker 3 Everybody rev down. Hey, tree guy, if you're listening, I could have handled it better, but you could have also.
We all could have handled that a little bit better. And especially around the chill.

Speaker 3 But the second guy came jumping. The second guy came to his defense.
He literally popped out of nowhere and he had his hands up with that yellow thing.

Speaker 3 and i thought for you really should have locked down that area way before any school pickup was happening if that was that important absolutely if you're cutting down trees and you're concerned about cars getting hit don't even allow that lane to be open exactly close it down and it wasn't closed i didn't run over any cones there was no like tape or or cones or anything in front of me i was driving on a clear lane which anybody would have done because the part that was closed off were the parking spaces not the lane yeah if you needed that lane clear for the work that you're going to do for safety purposes, insurance reasons, whatever, do it like 40 minutes before you intend to cut down any trees.

Speaker 3 That's the first action you should have taken. But no, you thought whipping cones at cars would be a better way to stop them from getting around the danger.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 I'm just sharing that with you. So, tree guy, if you're listening, tree company, we all could have handled that better.
I think that's clear. Okay.
All right. All right.
Enough.

Speaker 3 Speaking of, you know, let's all rev down. Casey Anthony is back.
Did you see this? I did see this in the news as like an educational person. No, a defendant.
Wait.

Speaker 3 She is legal. A legal

Speaker 3 analyst.

Speaker 3 Legal analyst. Yeah, a legal analyst because you've been encased in the judicial system for years of your life.

Speaker 3 Listen. Casey Anthony popped on TikTok, and I don't think she's had social media ever.
Okay.

Speaker 3 So, or maybe certainly not since, you know, Kaylee Anthony went missing and then was found dead in the trunk of a car. Her daughter.

Speaker 3 Casey Anthony comes on TikTok and shares that she has been in the legal field, quote unquote, for 20 plus years and that she is going to now be a legal advocate for those that are missing or murdered, young children that are missing or murdered, including her daughter.

Speaker 3 Hey, here's a little advocacy work on behalf of your daughter. Don't kill her in the first place.
Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 is casey casey anthony like the last person we really need to come trouncing into this show that we already have yeah i'm being dead serious please do not give this lady any air like any breath of air into her social media there are going to be lots of people who buy into this bullshit but i got to be honest i i when i saw this tick tock like pop up it was somebody else's reel that they were showing basically saying the same thing that i'm saying i was like no way did casey anthony just talk to the camera and say she's she's going to become a legal advocate for children in trouble?

Speaker 3 I mean, this girl was out partying while her daughter was missing for 31 days until she called 911. That's unbelievable.
That's like the worst parent ever.

Speaker 3 And now she's going to be a legal advocate for kids? Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 Casey Anthony was like, that trial, remember that trial? It was like the O.J. Simpson trial of the 2000s.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Everybody had their eyes on that Casey Anthony trial because it was just such a weird thing that happened. Casey Anthony claims that she left her daughter with some nanny, a Mexican lady.

Speaker 3 She left her with a nanny while she went out partying with her guy that she was dating for a couple of days. And then she came back and the nanny said she didn't know where her daughter was.

Speaker 3 Well, it turns out that she was in the trunk of a car the entire time and then she was buried outside in a plot of land not too far from her parents' house.

Speaker 3 And then her parents were strangely like defending, but not defending her. Her dad was supposedly

Speaker 3 may have covered some of this stuff up. I mean, the details of the trial are just horrific.

Speaker 3 And a guy that's having children, I can't understand for the life of me how 31 days passes before you notify the authorities that your daughter is gone. That's insane to me.
But that's what happened.

Speaker 3 And why anybody would ever take legal advice from Casey Anthony is beyond me. It's beyond me why she would have the audacity to think that anybody would want to accept that advice.

Speaker 3 I hope this is playing just like it's playing for me. And that is, what a terrible fucking idea.
But you know what, Chrissy? There is a dum-dum born every second.

Speaker 3 There are a lot of people on this earth and most of them are not well. And some people will follow Casey Anthony thinking that she's innocent.
Some people may not even know who she is. I'm sure.

Speaker 3 And she will have her moment in the sunlight. And that's the part that drives me crazy.
Just like that, O.J. Funkin' Simpson.
O.J. Funkin' Simpson.
I've watched another documentary.

Speaker 3 Oh, I saw that there's another documentary. I was like, ah, not going there.
I am so

Speaker 3 down the rabbit hole with anything O.J. Simpson.
And I don't know why. I think because it consumed such a large part of my formative years.

Speaker 3 Like it was like two and a half years of all of our lives

Speaker 3 wrapped up and ensconced in nothing but the OJ Simpson trial. Right.

Speaker 3 And just like everybody else on earth at the time, we were all big fans of the naked gun and all the movies that he was in. You know, everybody loved O.J.
Simpson.

Speaker 3 And then to think for a second that he would essentially brutally murder these two people was a crazy idea at first.

Speaker 3 Then the slow chase and then all the drama and then the trial and the backdrop of the Rodney King. And it's like, it's a very weird period of time in American history, pop culture, certainly.

Speaker 3 But that O.J. Simpson went twiddling away, free as a bird, and he couldn't even keep himself out of trouble for like more than 15 minutes.

Speaker 3 He got arrested again. Yes, for like kidnapping.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he was like, he brought a gun to get some of his signed helmets back.

Speaker 3 I mean, OJ, honestly. If I had one piece of advice for OJ, if I'm a friend of OJ's, it's like, dude, God just kissed you on the forehead.
Never even think about jaywalking again.

Speaker 3 Don't even think about it. Go to the golf course, make new friends, live your life, be a good citizen, never get in the crosshairs of anything legal again.

Speaker 3 And yet he tempted fate over and over and over again. He did that.
Remember Fox bought that If I Did It documentary? He wrote a book.

Speaker 3 O.J. Ballsey.

Speaker 3 Ballsey, O.J., wrote a book called If I Did It. And then he wrote how he would do it if he did it, if he murdered his wife and Ron Goldman.
And the crazy part was, is that

Speaker 3 it didn't matter because he was acquitted. So no one could say anything to him.
And he just pretended like, if I had done it, this is how I would do it.

Speaker 3 And then Fox bought a documentary that had OJ talking about how he would do it if he did it so that they could put it on there. Fox Sebastian of class and taste.
Ah, Fox.

Speaker 3 When I think about class and taste, I think about Fox. That's what I think about.
All right. Well, listen, we're going to be back tomorrow.

Speaker 3 Fear not. Hopefully, everything goes okay in the parking lot today.

Speaker 3 Well, I'm not going back to that parking lot. Okay, you're done.

Speaker 3 I really thought some of the parents might start texting Astrid because Astrid knows a lot of the parents and be like, what just happened? Why was your husband in the parking lot screeching away?

Speaker 3 I got so nervous. And Astrid was like, who fucking cares? What? No one cares.
You know, whatever. It's just a thing.
It happened. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't know.
It felt bad to me. Right.

Speaker 3 It felt like an exchange of negative energy in a way that I usually don't navigate in the world. So I got kind of upset about the whole situation.
I can understand.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but you know, what are you going to do? I apologize to the tree guy for driving around you. So now you can apologize to me for

Speaker 3 being an asshole.

Speaker 3 You're probably like that all the time.

Speaker 3 Yeah. You're probably a jerk off most of the time.
No, I'm kidding. I don't know.

Speaker 3 Probably.
