Skeleton Crew, two episode premiere, December 3rd, only on Disney Plus.
Hey Chrissy, best to you.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
It's the holiday season, and a lot of times,
podcasts like ourselves will take off,
but not us, Chrissy, we have bills to pay and miles to feed.
So we are going to be producing brand new episodes
of The Commercial Break this entire holiday season,
and I thought it was important to let our audience know.
Jingle, jingle all the way home.
Jingle, jangle your dingle dangles.
Stick with the commercial break.
And stay tuned for the 12 Days of TCB,
our first ever 12 Days of TCB.
That's right.
December 13th through Christmas Day,
brand new episodes every day.
Maybe in the olden times,
we would have been in some sort of traveling freak show.
Him being the sideshow,
me being the bloke in the top hat getting the money,
making sure he's watered, fed,
but I take down the curtain
and he does his job for a few hours,
gets the punters in, but it works.
It really works.
On this episode of the Commercial Break.
I was into goth girls until I dated goth girls
and then I was no longer into goth girls.
You're like, that's okay, I'll pass.
No, they were lovely, but one of them bit me and drew blood.
And I found that to be kind of disturbing.
I'm sorry, but you're just gonna say one of them
bit me and drew blood and not tell me the entire story.
And what's wrong with you?
The very first time I ever had sex.
And you want me to tell this story?
I don't know if I've ever told this story.
I am absolutely desperate to hear.
We'll find out how Brian was deflowered. Let's take a break. I'll tell it. I'll tell the poppy cherry
story. The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is our producer, dear friend of the show, and very temporary co-host, Christina.
Best of you, Christina.
Hi.
Best of you, Brian.
Best of you out there in the podcast universe.
Thanks for joining us.
We had a regularly scheduled guest, but they have ghosted us, so we are just here in the
studio dicking around and thought, why not?
Let's do it anyway.
So thank you for being here, Christina.
I really appreciate it on this very rainy day here in Atlanta.
I do love a good rainy day there.
Lovely, lovely rain.
Good rainy day.
You know, I was at the dentist this morning
and everybody was complaining about the rain.
Oh, the weather sucks.
First of all, like talking about the weather
is the lowest form of conversation.
That's why we do it here so much.
I know, I know.
We really do.
Well, we also have, you know,
it's 30,000 hours to produce every fucking month here, but
But I I find the opposite
I say I like a good chilly wet day and fall in Atlanta because we you know, first of all
We need the rain second of all, there's something about waking up to a rainy day that makes me feel good
That's so nice. That's physiological. Isn't it? Isn't there like a reason?
It's gotta be it's like having to do with the negative ions and the? Isn't there like a reason? I guess it's gotta be. I don't know.
It's like having to do with the negative ions and the positive ions.
Sure.
Something like that.
I was going psychology.
Oh, okay.
There you go.
That's it.
Rain outside means I'm safe inside.
Well, that's one thing too.
Yes, well, you were in water for the first nine months of your life, so maybe there's
something about being encased in rain that makes us feel good.
Taking it all back to mom. Look at me.
I am now Sigmund Freud.
Sigmund Freud.
So thanks for joining us.
How have you been?
How are things?
The audience wants to know.
I'm good.
I'm chilling.
My sister has moved back from Costa Rica,
so unfortunately I don't live alone anymore.
Oh, you have your sisters living with you now?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, drama drop.
It's good.
It's been fun.
Oh, is it the two ladies in the house competing for, I don't know what you girls can't be
before.
Attention.
We're always starting some drama about nothing.
Do you and your sister fight a lot?
No, not really.
Not real fights.
Do you bicker?
Bicker, yeah, for sure.
Okay, there's a lot of bickering that goes on?
Yeah.
Like one of you is giving the other one a cold shoulder
for no reason whatsoever, and then you call it out?
Well, we don't do that,
because I think that that's kind of fucked up.
Well, it is, but that's how, I mean, it's kind of fucked up,
but if you go into most households in the United States,
there's some shithead that's causing trouble for everybody
for no reason whatsoever.
No, we are the kind of people who like, yell, like we get into a fight and we yell at each other,
and then we both storm off, and then we immediately start talking again.
And then 15 minutes later, it's like-
Not even, it's like five minutes and I'm like, I just sent you a TikTok, go watch it.
Yeah.
You know?
Asher and I can't fight for more than five minutes either. I think we can take it almost a day,
but by the next morning, one of us comes to our senses and is like, listen, we're in this together. We're literally in
the trenches together. We're the only ones who know when it's like, we can't be mad at
each other for too long. It's usually about some silly shit. Like last night, I think
we were arguing about microphone stands. It was probably something else altogether, but
I think it was about microphone stands.
Probably.
I thought I was getting the cold shoulder because of microphone stands.
She's probably like, you're an asshole in general.
She's like, I hate the way you handle conflict, Brian.
I saw your Instagram algorithm.
More girls in bikinis.
No, girls in bikinis, that's what I think.
Brian the perv.
I know. Okay, what can I do? I'm a boy, what can I say?
You can't help it.
Well, here's the thing.
He's just a little pervert.
Yes, they, I've said this story,
I swear to God it's true.
Someone started the Instagram for me when I had simple FM,
and that guy was a true horn dog of epic proportions.
And so- So he started it off on that foot.
He started it off on that foot.
So it's really easy for you to get sucked down
the pervert rabbit hole. Oh, absolutely.
As soon as I hit the search bar, it's all bikinis all the time.
And it just gets worse and worse every month.
It seems like we're going more and more unclothed.
Mine's all like scraping off like scalps psoriasis.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's so satisfying to watch.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Please, honestly, it makes my sick my sick. So Poppy Lou, Poppy
Liao, who, uh, Poppy Liao, let me say that correctly. Poppy Liao, who is a wonderful
actress and, uh, you're going to hear she's coming up like her interview is coming up,
but it's no secret here that we record some of these interviews way ahead of time, uh,
as referenced by sometimes when we're talking about something six years old on an interview
But anyway, she's got a new special coming out on Netflix
and
She came in and then her and Chrissy went down the pimple popper road
We're all they were doing for like 10 minutes was talking about pimple popper as I turned green and almost had to leave the studio
Can't take it not interested you can get. You can give me a fucking arm chopped off.
And I will, like if someone got into a car accident tomorrow
and someone was like literally half decapitated,
I could get in there and do what I needed to do.
Blood doesn't bother me at all.
Blood, bones, I mean, it doesn't bother me
in emergency situations.
Blood, bones, whatever, I like it.
Muscles, femoral arteries spe I love them. I like it.
Muscles.
Even better if they're leaky bones.
Femoral arteries spewing everywhere.
I can take it.
I got it.
No problem.
But you give me a pimple popping situation and it just makes me disgusted.
Wow.
That's so sad for you.
I'm going to repeat this story when we talk to Poppy and Leal, but who cares?
No one needs to know.
They probably don't even remember.
They won't remember six weeks from now what I said now. I met the girl who brought Pimple
Popper to television at a conference. Yes. When I went to dinner with Mark Cuban, this
girl was in the room. And I walked into this private room and there was like, I don't know,
12, 20 of us something milling around waiting for Mark Cuban and these other dignitaries to show up.
And there's this girl at the bar and I'm just going to standing at the bar. I don't know anybody
in the room. And we strike up a conversation and she, we're talking about television. That's what
she does. She works in television and she works for the TLC network. And I'm like, this is super exciting. I know it's fate. I love it. 90 Day Fiance. You guys are great. There's
no more learning channel, but TLC was a good move. It's like KFC. It's no longer chicken,
but okay.
We're learning about relationships.
That's right.
It's this anthropology.
About the worst relationship.
It's anthropology.
Okay. I get it. Listen, I'm not arguing.
That's what I say reality TV is. I'm like, it's an anthropological study and that's why I'm watching it.
You might be right about this.
I think I am.
In a thousand years, when we're all dead gone buried under nuclear ash, someone in outer space
is going to come here and they're going to find reality television and they're going to know
exactly what we're up to. We were marrying people from other countries, why there were other
countries or borders, they're not going to have any clue. But then there was some process we had
to go through where we acted really shitty to each other for 90 days.
It's a ritual.
Yes. So then we get on this TLC thing and I said, you know what though, I got to be
honest, you got to get that fucking pimple popper show off the air. It's disgusting.
It's gross. I can't stand it. I mean, I went off for a good minute,
solid 60-second Brian rant thinking he was being smart to some TLC executive. And she was just
looking at me and she goes, you know what? Couldn't agree with you more, but I'm the one who brought
it to television. Oh my God. Open mouth, insert foot. There you go. Well, I've never been one to, I'm not the James Bond type.
I'm more of the...
Ha ha ha ha.
Dustin Bowers type?
Yeah, I like the Chevy Chase type.
I stumble into a room.
Make a bunch of noise, stumble into a room.
So, everybody's excited about the new...
Oh, by the way, it's Thanksgiving week as you're listening to this.
Hello, welcome. And I hope you're having
a wonderful Thanksgiving week.
I would like to think that most people have some time off
during the Thanksgiving week.
Thanksgiving week is one of my favorite weeks
of the entire year.
Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas week.
Fourth of July?
Fourth of July, don't ask me why.
I don't know why, because-
Okay, sorry, I've got to wipe the look of disdain
and shock off of my face.
No, no, no. Not for the reasons you think. It's the clear summer marking point. We're in summer.
Yeah, okay.
My favorite time of the year.
Summer's your favorite season?
Season, for sure. Summer's my favorite. I love a- look at my face.
Sorry. Yeah, he's so tan that I'm completely blown out in this camera.
We needed to change that light for you.
I think I'm gonna have to start fake tanning before I come here.
Yeah, you might.
I think I will.
Well, I got it.
We got a group discount.
It's part of the perks of working for the commercial, right?
Yes, you get free tanning.
And then you can get a group discount on the radiation that I'm putting on my face currently
for all the sun spots.
A little bit of laser.
Yeah, seriously.
So, 4th of July marks the beginning of the summer, not the beginning, but now we're in
summer, now here it is.
It tends to be a festive time of year when the fireworks are going off and you're in
the pool and you're having fun. And for me personally, I have always had,
like the four serious relationships
that I've had in my life,
it all really took hold and blossomed
during that time of year.
So I think upon it fondly.
And that's just me, right?
So I just, I don't know, it's like a romantic time for me.
Has nothing to do with the United States of America
because quite frankly, next year I think it's just gonna be guns and set of fireworks
But no, it's not but you know, hey, we're here until January 20th at least
Let's savor the flavor
Yeah
But summer's my least favorite season. Why? Because it's hot?
Yeah, I can't handle the heat.
I am like...
You melt?
I'm weak.
I need the cold.
I love winter in Georgia and I love fall and I love early spring.
Yeah, and I know a lot of people that are like that.
Like if you...
Would you rather take a vacation in the mountains than in the beach?
Than on the beach?
I think it really depends on my mood.
Okay, fair enough.
But I just generally prefer cooler weather.
I am so not built for the heat.
I get angrier, I get more depressed.
It gets so in my head.
I have opposite seasonal affective disorder.
Like mines in the summer.
I'm like, I can't go outside.
I hate it there. I'm like, it can't go outside. I hate it there.
I'm like, it ruins my favorite sports, running.
It's too hot to do anything.
It does ruin running.
Like, it ruins everything for me.
Everything.
Look at you, white people problems.
I know.
It ruins everything.
I was my most depressed this year in the summer.
Oh, well, listen, okay, that's a thing.
That's you.
That's a thing.
But you also come from direct cold weather descendants. That's true. And so do I, really, okay, that's a thing. That's you. That's a thing. But you also come from direct cold weather descendants.
That's true.
And so do I, really, from Chicago. But in like one half a generation, I turned into
like a sunbaby overnight. I just, I'll never go back to Chicago and live one of those winters
again because I didn't like it. And I mean, I remember being just fine with it, but I
was a kid. And so now I've grown up into an adult in very hot weather living in Georgia
and I've just taken to it.
I like it.
I like it.
I am thriving.
And I love when it's light out till 9.30 at night.
I like that.
I can't stand.
It's nice.
Do you like when it gets dark at 4.30?
I do.
You do?
Okay.
Well then you're just a weird human.
What's funny is like when, well, it's cozy.
I get my YouTube ambiance. I'm reading my books.
What YouTube ambiance are you?
Right now I'm really into like snowy cabin
with a fire and like Christmas tree.
And I like put that on and you hear like the wind outside.
It's like, whew.
Wait, YouTube ambiance, for those of you that don't know,
are just these endless videos that play a certain
like montage of whatever. for those of you that don't know, are just these endless videos that play a certain montage
of whatever.
Yeah.
Ulog, snowy clips, Christmas time, whatever.
You can get a fireplace, you can get a rainy lake, you can get like, that's a good one.
There's this good rainy fall lake, all the leaves and it's misty.
It just sets the vibe.
Yeah, okay.
It sets some good vibes and I love my life.
So for you, it's coming home and getting to do that earlier than you normally would.
Yeah, it's relaxation.
And there's some parity between what's happening outside and what's happening inside.
You're like, I got the mood, and if I step outside, there's a little chill in the air.
Like today, it's raining, it's kind of like dark and dreary.
I'm like windows open, make my house 55 degrees.
You might be an undercover goth girl if, I'm just saying, not just saying, an undercover
goth girl.
I've never tried goth.
It's not for everyone, but it could work for you.
We were at Panera the other day, you know, by the way, Panera has the best broccoli cheese
soup I have ever tasted. It's some good shit. They have reera has the best broccoli cheese soup I have ever tasted.
It's some good shit.
They have rewritten the book on broccoli cheese soup. Now, I worked at Chili's, one of my
favorite things was when they had broccoli cheese soup, it was like Wednesdays or some
shit like that. They did it right, Chili's did, but it came in a bag and you had to pour
water in it.
I'm sorry, in a bag?
In a bag. It came in a bag, like a big bag, you cut it open, you poured it in the little heater,
and then you poured like two full containers of water in there.
I'm just a lot like I'm sure Panera does it.
Yeah.
I was going to say like that Campbell's like condensed cream of mushroom soup.
Yes.
You know?
But, listen, it's soup, right?
Yeah.
So okay, I get it.
I'm not like particularly grossed out by that.
That's how soup in general is made. It's a thick base with some water in it, right?
And it's soup season, another reason to love fall slash winter.
That's right.
And it was just a little chill in the air.
We were up in the mountains with my dad, a little chill in the air.
We go to Panera.
I have a couple pieces of bread and that broccoli cheese soup, and I love it.
But anyway, that's not the point of the story.
The point of the story is Panera's lovely.
That's not the point of the story.
Bread bowls.
The story of bread bowls.
Bread bowls are for winter too. Yeah. Bread bowls. The story of bread bowls.
Bread bowls are for winter too.
Yeah, bread bowls are for carb loading.
Oh my God.
And I'm on that keto diet right now.
So I'm giving myself one day a week to just blow it.
So I actually gave myself one weekend a week to blow it up.
I was eating whatever I wanted.
Oh my God, I went crazy.
That's a problem when you're on the keto
or the carnivore diet. It's not sustainable. It's not sustainable in any way, I went crazy. That's a problem when you're on the keto or the carnivore diet.
It's not sustainable.
It's not sustainable in any way, shape or form.
Your body needs some kind of carbs.
You need carbs for your brain to function.
That's it, yeah.
Sorry, those are the rules.
Yes, as a calcium-filled brain knows, you need some things to function.
Yeah, you need something.
So there's this girl, when we're pulling out of the Panera, there's this girl full goth gear full goth gear
black tight shirt
Mm-hmm choker
black skirt black tights
Shit kicker boots love it all the bracelets you could possibly have dark eyeliner
Hair slicked back, you know walking down the street with her her hello, black hello kitty bag, you know, talking on the phone.
I love that.
Great.
It's a look.
It's a thing, right?
That's cute.
And Astrid was making fun of me.
She's like, that's what you're into?
You fucking creep.
That's what you're into?
You fucking creep.
Yeah, you fucking creep.
And I'm like, no.
That's so funny.
When I was in my late teens, when I was in my mid to late teens, that would have been
a thing, but it was a my mid to late teens, that would have been a thing,
but it was a thing. It came and it went. I was into goth girls until I dated goth girls,
and then I was no longer into goth girls.
You're like, that's okay, I'll pass.
No, they were lovely, but one of them bit me and drew blood, and I found that to be kind of
disturbing.
I'm sorry, but you're just going to say one of them bit me and drew blood and not tell me the
entire story? What's wrong with you?
The very first time I ever had sex. that you're just going to say one of them bit me in Drew blood and not tell me the entire story and what's wrong with you? Jared S
absolutely desperate to hear.
Jared S
All right. We'll find out how Brian was deflowered. Let's take a break. I'll tell it. I'll tell
the pop your cherry story. And guess what? When did it happen? On 4th of July. There you go. Maybe
that's why Brian enjoys 4th of July so much.
It's his deflowering time of year.
It reminds him of the last time he got laid. It's my virgin anniversary. Who doesn't remember
that? All right. We'll take a break and we'll be back. KS In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio,

Okay, so
Alright, so now that I think about it, this May, you're right,
this Fourth of July thing may have all started.
It's all going back to one thing.
So it all goes back to Brian Lewis and his virginity.
Pervert behavior.
Way pervert behavior. Well, I mean, listen, they say that your predilections and your
sexual preferences are formed early.
When you're just little.
A little tiny little tyke, right?
Pre-pubescent or something.
Or as you're getting into your, what do they call that?
Your tween?
You're in between years?
I don't know either.
I don't want to talk about it because then I sound like P. Diddy.
Like I don't want some people to have like retrospective videos.
He was talking about it.
I know because every video of Diddy now is him being a pervert.
Well, he is a pervert. Well, he is a pervert.
Well, he is a pervert.
Famously.
There's no doubt about that.
But now every video can be taken in like 70 different contexts and you're like, wow.
Even when some of them are a little bit of a stretch, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
But you're like, still, what's going on in that brain?
That guy is prolific.
He is unbelievable.
Too bad our guest didn't show up today because I wanted to ask him if he had ever been to a Diddy party. I suspect he might've been. But maybe we'll get around to it.
Drama drop.
Uh, drama drop. So the year was, I don't know when the year was, I was young and I think it was 15
years old, the summer of being 15 years old. And I worked at that McDonald's and I worked with a girl
and that girl was a year older than I was.
She was 16 years old, but she had a sister that had just turned 15. So I was 15, about to turn
16. This girl had 15, just turned 15 years old. Very sound of music. I very P-Diddy. And I went to her house one time,
my friend who worked at the McDonald's,
let's call her Sam.
My friend Sam, I went to her house,
her parents were out of town
and they had a baby so they was paying no attention
to them whatsoever, like some adult
that was supposed to be there that wasn't.
And so we were all hanging out on the back porch. We were smoking weed. This girl Sam was straight edge. You know what
straight edge is? Okay. Straight edge. No drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no nothing.
We were all smoking cigarettes, smoking pot. Some of us were drinking by that time. I was
probably dropping LSD. I mean, I was like a really advanced and I say advanced.
Wild teenager.
Yes. I was dumber than the rest of my friends. Yeah for good reason because I was so fucked up. I couldn't process information
And for the very first time ever I met her sister. Let's call her Eve
So Sam and Eve I met this girl Eve at this time and she was this dark
mysterious goth girl she was like opposite of her sister she was
into vampires and Morrissey
and all kind of witches and wiccans and all kind of stuff.
I just can't wait for her to find out about Twilight.
I know. I wish I had stuck with it long enough to figure out, but I didn't because it turns
into quite the fucking shit show. But I met her at this one
night, we were all hanging out over at Sam's house, and I was instantly, like, there was something
about that goth vibe that got me super charged up.
Jared Liesveld mysterious.
Mysterious vibe. And I found a way to sneak up to her bedroom, she's going to show me her bedroom,
she's going to show me something, her fucking Ouija board or something, I'm not sure.
But I found a way up there
and we quickly made out and dispersed, right?
Quickly made out, but I knew that her sister
was gonna be way pissed
because her sister didn't like her younger sister.
You know, she was like straight edge
and her sister was like kind of off the tracks
and you know, much different than she was.
And so I made out with her quickly and then we dispersed but we exchanged phone numbers. I had my own private phone in my
room and actual landline, advanced, like this is having your own Blackberry at 14 years
old. I had my own phone because my dad didn't, I was taking up all the time talking to girls
till three in the morning. So, uh, taking up all the family phone time, Brian was.
So, two weeks later was 4th of July,
and another one of my friends was having a party
at his house, because his parents were out of town,
but they just left him alone.
He was 16 years old, they just left him there.
And this happened often.
This was that guy, that kid,
whose parents just went out of town.
There's always one.
There's always one.
And surprisingly, he never burned the house down,
but man, was there a lot of chicanery
going on in that fucking house.
I'm sure.
Well, this girl would call me often and I said, hey, listen, there's this party going
on.
And, oh, by the way, Sam had now left to go do a study overseas in France.
So while the cat's away, the mice will play.
The opportunity was there.
Yes. I was being a little shithead and I was like, well, your sister's not here. I'm sure
she wouldn't mind if I invited you to this little get together we're having. And in one
of the most, I'm sure everyone's lose your virginity story is either awkward, traumatic
for whatever reason, or maybe I don't, I haven't met anybody
who's lose your virginity story is like absolutely spectacular. Like they were like, Oh my God,
it was amazing. I did best sex of my life. I never expected it to be so wonderful.
That's crazy.
It's some version of painful and torturous for everybody. And mine was no different. We,
we went up, so everyone is there.
It's in the Fourth of July party.
Yeah, and this house was on the lake and the lake had fireworks. And so the fireworks were
going off inside, Brian was going off, the fireworks going off outside, Brian was going
off inside. And we just had this weird, awkward sex, right? That's just what it was. It was just
weird, it was awkward, I didn't know what to do with it. I don't think she had much more experience
than I did, though I don't think she was a virgin at the time. I think she didn't know
what much what to do with it either. But we managed to figure it out, fit it in. I don't
think either of us had an orgasm and called it a day, right? A pop my cherry, that was it.
I was the first probably amongst my group to do that, but I wasn't the type to brag, at least not that night. I wasn't the first to brag,
wasn't the type to brag. Actually, I don't think I did much bragging, but here's what happened that
makes the story much, oh, and during intercourse, she bit my shoulder right here. Like in between the neck and the shoulder. So hard that it took,
it drew blood and it drew down my boner. It was like, it instantly killed the night. It was it.
It was over. That was it.
This is crazy.
It was, but she was like all into like vampire shit. And I think she just took the role playing
a little too far.
Yeah. You know what's crazy? Is I read, I was in a romance book club earlier this year.
And we read some vampire werewolf smut. And I was absolutely horrified by it because I
had never read smut that smutty before.
Smutty smut.
There was like a big plot point is the biting. And they were like, it's got to do with your mate.
And when you bite them and you leave the scar or the mark, even though they can heal, it's
like, oh, they leave the scar and that means that you're mine.
Or you have to scratch them too or something.
I don't know.
It was crazy.
I have known a lot of women who are, not a lot, but like probably four, maybe five who
have this biting fetish to get bitten or to bite or both. And I don't know how I run into
these ladies, but I am not okay with it. Like I don't mind a little nibble, but a real bite.
But drawing blood.
Oh, Christina, it was so hard. And it's in that shoulder area where some people who get massaged there are like, ah, you know?
And so she drew blood.
And then here is the part that like, okay, fine.
We had sex, she bit me, it was kind of over.
We awkwardly strangled through the night,
then we drop her back off at home.
And then she's like repeatedly calling me
and calling me and calling me
and calling me.
And I just, like, I don't, for some reason it wasn't there.
Like I didn't want to have a relationship.
Right?
You just got bitten.
I just got bitten.
I don't think you would want a relationship.
You just got, you drew blood.
Yes.
And it hurt.
Now there's a big purple mark with like, you know, two bite marks in my skin that drew blood. Yes, and it hurt. Now there's a big purple mark with like, you know, two bite marks in my skin that drew
blood.
And now I'm realizing that maybe the goth thing is not a put on.
It's like we actually believe it, right?
It's not a style.
It's a thing.
Like we're into it.
We're witches, we're wiccans, we're putting spells on people, which fine, cool.
Do your thing.
Just don't put your spell on me.
I'm not interested in your bike.
Be on the same page as your sexual partner.
Right, exactly.
And at that time, I don't even know what preferences I have because I'm just getting started, right?
I know, it's crazy to like start mixing pain and pleasure at 15.
Yeah, well, I know a lot of people who did that too, right, for various different reasons.
That hurts me inside.
For me, pain is not pleasure.
I am not interested in whipping.
I'm not interested in receiving or giving.
I'm just not.
Not interested in whipping.
Yeah, I'm too bunch of a pussy.
I mean, I don't have a way to put it, but.
Well, it's always just like, I just don't wanna hurt you.
I don't want you to hurt me.
Please.
I just want everyone to have a nice time.
That's the point of sex, right?
And there's nothing wrong with that.
No.
I did get bitten once on my arm.
I just remembered while you were talking about it.
Like during an action?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I had a big bruise from it.
And I had some stuff to film the next few days and it was there and obvious.
And I was like, Jesus Christ.
That's not attractive.
It didn't go anywhere.
Oh yeah.
It just didn't go anywhere either.
But after a couple of weeks of just kind of like putting it off, and also I was
working and I went to school after like putting it off and then slowly not
answering phone calls, like it was getting a little obsessive, all the calling and
stuff and her sister's coming back into town and I knew the shit was going to hit
the fan.
I knew it.
I was going to have to say something or her sister was going to say something. And, and I, and I actually the shit was gonna hit the fan. I knew it. I was gonna have to say something or her sister was gonna say something.
And I actually valued the friendship.
I was a little worried.
If I actually valued the friendship,
I wouldn't have had sex with her sister.
But, you know, I thought I did anyway.
I was trying to be valiant in the moment.
Uh, you know, and...
You were just young.
I was horny. I was 15 and horny.
And horny. What are you gonna do?
Are you gonna have sex with a woman who agrees?
Of course. She claimed to be pregnant 15 and horny. And horny. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna have sex with a woman who agrees? You're gonna do stupid things.
Of course.
She claimed to be pregnant and claimed to be,
so after-
Claimed?
Claimed.
Uh-oh.
Three weeks into this calling
and all this obsessiveness,
I answered the phone one time
because she had left a message crying,
you need to call me back immediately,
there's an emergency.
And when I called back, she said she was pregnant.
And I immediately hung up the phone
after like an hour long phone call where we both cried.
And I ran to my father and I told him
that I got her pregnant.
And shit hit the ever loving fan.
I'm sure.
And so my dad was like, your life's over.
This is it.
Congratulations.
You're a fucking dumb ass.
I always knew you were.
Now it's proven.
Now there's going to be DNA running around proving
how dumb you are.
Like, you're really fucked your shit up.
No shape, no T, but you're stupid.
That's right.
You're going to have to work overtime.
This is all over.
This McDonald's job, you better become the store manager.
That's right. That's what shit he was saying. You're going to be a overtime, this is all over. This McDonald's job, you better become the store manager.
That's right. That's what shit he was saying.
You're gonna be a store manager at McDonald's
because this kid is gonna take over your life
and you're not gonna know what to do.
Congratulations.
Oh gosh, that's so stressful.
I know. Only to find out a couple of weeks,
there was like, my dad was wanting to call this girl's dad
and I kept putting it off, putting it off, putting it off
because I thought this dad, this other dad was gonna kick the shit out of me. He probably was going to call this girl's dad. And I kept putting it off, putting it off, putting it off because I thought this dad,
this other dad was gonna kick the shit out of me.
He probably wasn't going to.
And I kept like telling my dad, no, no, no, just hold on,
hold on, hold on.
And a couple of days, weeks, something like that later,
the sister came back from Paris,
had been back for a day or two and she came to my house.
I was now grounded.
I could not leave the front porch, but my dad allowed friends to come to the front porch to say
hello for 15, 20 minutes. And I had this like whole heart to heart with Sam. And I was like,
listen, you know, I'm sorry. I was a bit of an asshole. I slept with your sister while
you were gone. We had sex and this girl hit me. I mean, she just hit me.
Did she? Oh yeah. She cocked back and girl hit me. I mean, she just hit me. Did she?
Oh yeah, she cocked back and she hit me.
Like full punch or slap?
Open-handed slap.
Good for her.
Yes, it hurt, not as much as the bite, but it still hurt. So now I've been bitten twice, essentially.
And that's women supporting women.
And she says, and I said, you know, and I don't know if she's told you yet, but you know, she's pregnant.
And then it was like, what are you fucking talking about?
And I'm like, she's pregnant.
And she's like, no, she's not pregnant.
And I'm like, what?
And she goes, she's not pregnant.
And I was like, she is pregnant.
She told me she's pregnant.
She said she took tests.
She said she, I told my dad.
And she's like, she's not pregnant.
I have a, we share a trash can in the bathroom. I know she's not pregnant. She said she took tests. She said she, I told my dad and she's like, she's not pregnant. I have a, we share a trash can in the bathroom. I know she's not pregnant. And
I was like, Oh, what? Really? And she's like, there's no way she's pregnant. We share, like
we're on the same cycle. She's not pregnant. She's no way she's pregnant. And I was like,
what the fuck? And this, this ended with me like in some late night, steal someone's dad's
car, not steal it, but take someone's dad's car to go pick her up at 3 30 in the morning
to go to a Kroger at 24 hour Kroger to get a pregnancy test, to then go to a Waffle House
and pee on the pregnancy test to prove that this girl was in fact not pregnant. And I
was grounded for two fucking summers.
Two summers. Two summers?
Two summers!
Even though it wasn't true?
Even though it wasn't true.
Damn, Dad.
I was grounded.
Yes, my dad said you're a fuck up anyway.
I don't care.
Two summers feels like a lot.
One summer I get.
I think he was pissed because I was just like a general shithead.
Yeah.
And then I was generally being shithead-y by sleeping with people.
You know, like I lost my virginity at 15.
You brought a rat in the house.
You know.
Yes, the fucking rat.
Free Willy.
Free Willy.
That...
Willy didn't last long.
I feel so bad for him.
Yeah, you know, I do feel bad for Willy, but I feel bad for Willy because I was the dumb
dumb who knew right...
Listen, let's say this about Willy.
It was better than
dying in a pet store.
That is so true.
Or with a snake eating it.
Or, well, yeah, I don't know.
You don't know?
I don't know. Well, I'm just thinking he must have been so scared. He'd never been out there.
I know. He'd never been out in the wild.
That makes me so sad.
I know. I just-
Because he probably got killed just so fast and he was probably so scared. It was, I just... Because he probably got killed just so fast.
And he was probably so scared.
It was, there was a problem.
But I don't think his life was good at all.
In any way, no offense.
Why?
I had him, he was with me all the time.
I thought he was like in a box in the garage.
He was in a box in the garage during the nighttime.
But when I would go out, he would come out with me.
Okay, so maybe he was having fun then.
We had like, we went to fish shows together.
Like we had our moments, me and Willie, we were like a thing.
And even when he was in the box in the garage,
on occasion I would sneak him up into the bedroom
and I'd let him sleep under the covers with me.
He'd like curl up and sleep and my dad didn't know.
Sorry, dad, I'm sorry, dad.
That's so funny.
I do know someone who has pet rats and they love them.
He was a perfectly lovely creature. He would sit on my shoulder. I remember going to get
togethers with him, like little parties, where everyone was getting high and smoking bong.
Poor Willie.
And Willie would just be hanging out on my shoulder. And he'd come up and he'd like nibble
on my ear, just like give me a little love nibble.
Yeah, that's cute.
He loved me.
And there was-
He knew not to draw blood. He knew not to draw blood. He was just give me a little love nibble. Yeah, that's cute. He loved me. And there was- He knew not to draw blood.
He knew not to draw blood.
He was just giving me a little love kiss.
Your first true love.
Willie was my first true love.
I gotta be honest, that was, I just, now that I'm thinking back on it, you're making me
feel terrible.
I'm sorry.
I know, but there was nothing I could do.
There was no other option.
No one would take him.
There was no other option at that point in time.
I knew one guy that owned a snake, but I wasn't going to do that to Willie.
I was going to give Willie a chance.
Go dude.
You got it in you.
It's in your DNA.
Go find a rat nest and be part of the community.
Maybe you did.
We can think that.
I like to think that.
I walked up that street that rainy night crying because it was a terrible moment in Brian history
when my dad was like, fine.
And listen, I know everyone's,
we got comments on this when I told the story
that what an asshole your dad was to do this to you.
You gotta think about this.
You have four children,
a rather stressful home environment at the time,
which I won't get all into,
but it was really stressful at that time
for the whole family due to sickness. And you got one fucking kid running around, smoking pot,
taking acid, sleeping with girls, maybe getting people pregnant, and all of a sudden he brings
a rat home to live in your house with your four other children. It was not, like, I probably
would have been pissed too. I probably would have said to my
kid, you most definitely cannot have a rat living in this house. Your mother is going to kill you
and I don't want it. I don't want to wake up one morning to find that rat on my pillow. No way.
And to his little bit of credit, to my dad's little bit of credit, he didn't make me give it away
immediately. That's true. He gave you a try. He said, if that rat gets out, it's going in. Willie found a way.
Oh, Willie.
Willie found a way. Good old Willie.
I think of you all the time, Willie.
Yeah. But maybe that was just Willie's way of saying, I really need to get out of here,
Brian.
Yeah. Please stop taking me to parties.
Yeah. I really don't want to be any part of this. I heard what your dad said, and I'd
rather take my chances in the sewer. This is a narrative I didn't ask to be any part of this. I heard what your dad said, and I'd rather take my chances in the sewer.
This is a narrative I didn't ask to be a part of.
Yeah. Listen, your dope smoking friends aren't as cool as you think they are, all right?
If I have to hear Dark Side of the Moon one more time. Poor Willie. Do you think he was
getting high from all that contact smoke?
Maybe.
I don't know. We had a dog too. We got a dog and my brother, my twin brother adopted,
like my twin brother became like the dog's person, right? Even though we all loved the dog, his name
was Jordan, my twin brother became his person. And my basement, as I've mentioned many times,
is a den of iniquities. It really was. It was like all kinds of craziness going on down there.
Basements.
I know, basements, man. When you're a teenager, basements, where's
that? It's where the parents just pretend that all... They're like, just get out of here. Yeah,
they're studying down there. As long as they're not talking to me. My dad used to be like,
who's burning incense down there? And I'd be like, I don't know, but I'm ripping 10-foot bongs, dad.
I got a gravity bong I made on my own, Dad. That's not incense, buddy.
Made it out of a Gatorade bottle.
Yes, we used to take milk jugs.
We had all kinds of shit.
We were doing old Pepsi bottles.
But that dog became like Kevin's buddy.
They were always like, you know, the dog lived down in the basement.
Basically best dog ever.
Little Maltese, never once did I hear that dog bark.
I mean, maybe once or twice I heard the dog bark, but not like Blue. Like, a very quiet dog,
loving dog, would just sit there, you'd pet him, he'd love it. And I just like to,
I have to think that that dog was stoned 24 hours a day, and that's why it was so chill.
Nicole Sarris Could be.
Jared Sarkissian But he was with us for every party, every,
was so chill. But he was with us for every party, every, I'm sure he accidentally ate mushrooms on a couple of occasions. Oh, Jordan. Oh, I wish.
Poor little Jordan.
So Jordan got very old. He was like 12 years old and Kevin had him, he's living in an apartment.
And Kevin went, I think he got a condo or something, like went to go live in a condo,
and they didn't allow animals.
And Kevin was like, so distraught over this.
Yeah.
My dad couldn't take the dog and no one else in the family was able to take the dog.
I wasn't able to take the dog at the time.
But my dad had a friend at the office and the friend at the office said, I've got a
couple of older Maltesers.
If Kevin really needs somewhere to put the dog, I will be happy to take the dog. I'll
care for it. I'll make sure it goes to the vet, clean, fed, all that stuff. I love my Maltesers.
And so that dog went and lived there. And to our knowledge, that dog might still be alive. I don't
think it's alive today. That dog might still be alive today because we checked in on the dog.
Kevin would check out and frequently, but then, I don't know, maybe it was like a decade ago, and the dog
would have been 20 years old, 1920 years old at the time. I said, Hey, dad, whatever happened
to Jordan is like Jordan. So he goes, you know what, I think he still might be like
kicking with, you know, old Betty Lou. And I'm like, wow, 1920 years old. I don't think
it was really 1920 years old. But you know what I'm saying? Like she, 20 years old. I don't think it was really 19, 20 years old, but you know what I'm saying. Like it was old and all that dog did for half its life, which is sit around and get high with us.
Oh my God.
So I don't know if Willie would have fared well sober in the streets of Atlanta, but I'd like to
think so, Christina. Yeah, maybe.
Thanks for making me feel bad. Sorry.
I'm going to go to sleep, my face melting off my bones and crying over Willie.
Well, there you, what ambiance do I need to cure that, Christina?
Christmas rat ambiance.
Christmas rat.
Ben, the two of us need look no more.
All right, we'll be back.

help you. So maybe you're missing something from our sponsors. Let's find out.
Is it weird to hear yourself on the liners
and then be here also talking on the show?
Yes.
Yeah, OK, just checking.
Yeah, it's weird.
I wanted to see if it was weird for you.
Shut up, Christina.
Is it weird for me?
I know that you hate hearing yourself.
I'm like, stop.
No one even likes you.
A thousand hours into this show and I still
hate hearing my own voice.
People like you.
We have a lot of people that like you.
And listen, there are detractors too.
Of course.
You know, I love my haters.
Yes.
But I think no one is as disliked on this show as I am.
And that's fair enough.
You have the most content to not like you for, you know?
Well, I know.
I'm the loudest mouth.
So I'm the most opinionated.
Easiest to hate.
Yeah, of course.
And whatever comes with the territory. Yeah, I just wrote it.
I am just reading that they are,
lawyers are sending private investigators
to influencers' houses to find out,
to grill them about what they know
about celebrities and P. Diddy parties.
Oh.
This is getting way heated.
Have you been keeping up with all this?
Not really, no.
So here, let me catch you up to speed
because you know I'm fascinated by this story.
Because I think if true,
then there's a lot of answering to be done
by a lot of people, right?
And some of those,
and then there may be a lot of victims
being people that we know are famous, right?
Who may have got caught up in this.
And this really does lend some credibility to the outskirts of some of these more crazy
conspiracy theories.
Lends a little bit of credibility in this sense, that there are people in Hollywood,
in the Hollywood types and the famous types, who are hiding kind of like
institutionalized assault and sexual abuse.
For sure.
Because it makes them more famous or because if they get involved, they can be more famous.
This lends a little bit of credibility and is Diddy the top?
I don't know.
I'm not a conspiracy theory guy.
You know that if you listen to the show.
I actually uphoor most conspiracy theories, quote unquote,
because they tend to have zero evidence of being true, and people just go wildly off
the rails with it. There's like no facts whatsoever, but they swear to God it's true because they
want to be the one in the know. It really is little pipsqueaks wanting to be, have their
moment in the sun.
For sure. is little pipsqueaks wanting to have their moment in the sun.
But this one, I've never doubted that there is institutionalized sexual abuse going on
in many different corners of the world.
And some of that happens to be pedophiliac because that is a fetish that unfortunately
is in the human genome for whatever reason, right?
Since the Roman days. So, this story fascinates me because I want
to know not that, not necessarily that P. Diddy was the guy who was like the ringleader of some of
these, some of this activity, but that there are so many people in his orbit that none of them have
said a fucking word. None of them. That to me is really-
It's suspicious.
It's suspicious.
Cause it's like, okay, you're obviously,
if you're not saying anything,
is it because there's information on you to be found?
Yeah, there's information for you to be found.
You are afraid of Diddy in some way, shape or form,
which it seems like now there might be good reason
to be afraid of Diddy because apparently he's tried to have people killed and blown up cars and had people assaulted
and all this other stuff.
Well, I mean, the domestic violence alone is so horrifying.
Oh, yeah. That was a horrific video of him dragging that girl down the hallway.
I saw that against my will, but I was like, holy mother of God.
Yeah, it's stomach-turning. There's no other way to put it.
Yeah, it's sickening.
Yeah. It's, it's again, listen, my dad may have told me to throw Willie in the sewer,
but one thing my dad taught me is respect for the female form. Like, boys don't hit
girls. It never happens. There's never a reason where it's okay. Never. Unless someone's trying
to murder you. It's just not something you do. My dad is like, that's old, I know that's old school, like, you know, chivalry type bullshit, but
that's just the way I was raised. And I believe it to my core and I will teach it to my sons.
And I will teach my daughters that anyone who goes in that direction is never for you,
that you walk in the opposite direction, you deserve way more than that, always and forever, no
matter what you're into.
But here's the thing, everyone's being quiet about this.
And now there are attorneys who are calling on behalf of celebrities, victims who have
come forward and victims who have not come forward, people who were just at the parties
and may have been part of the sex and, you know, like random human beings who showed up at ditty
parties and ended up at some weird freak-off, and they're calling them and offering to
pay them off in advance not to talk about these celebrities.
Now, there's no word on who they are, but you can only imagine.
So now I'm reading that private investigators are going to influencer's houses, influencers
who have been talking about this Diddy story for a long time, some of them before this
even happened because they know from celebrities about these freak-offs.
And these private investigators are banging down their doors trying to figure out what
they know.
Is that for Diddy?
Is that for the victims? I don't know.
Yeah, that's the question. Who are the private investigators for?
I would imagine probably for the victims, right? That they're probably out there on
behalf of the victims trying to get like, like find evidence that corroborates what
they're saying because it's not a perfect justice, but there is some type
of justice in getting money, right? There is some type of justice. Money doesn't, like
they say money doesn't make you happy, but it sure doesn't make you sad. And like there's
something about it, you know? And Diddy's got a lot of money. And so, you know, he was
spending it all on lube apparently.
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
A lot of baby oil.
Ay, ay, ay, Christina.
It's not even, I don't, I can't look at baby oil ever again.
No, I know.
Like, it makes baby oil unusable for the rest of us.
I mean, first of all, there's much better lubes than baby oil.
Let's just be real about it.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I'm sure that-
You could have at least chosen a good one.
I know.
Something water-based.
It tastes like peach or something.
Yeah, something that's not going to make you sick the next day.
Literally give you a yeast infection or something?
I know!
Baby oil.
That's old school.
Baby oil is like late 80s, early 90s.
That's how you know he was a pervert.
The baby oil.
Yes!
Remember when someone said, oh, well, he would go to Costco and buy the baby oil?
And then the attorney was like, Costco doesn't even sell baby oil. Oh, that's a great defense. Costco doesn't
sell baby oil.
Oh my God.
Do you know, like, off on a different topic, did you know that when I was a kid, my mother
and maybe, I don't know, you grew up in a different, your parents grew up in a different
country so maybe this didn't happen, but my mother used to put baby oil on her body as a sun tanning lotion.
Oh yeah, uh-huh.
As a sun tanning lotion.
That's crazy.
Is that not insane?
That is so dangerous.
To magnify the sun, they would put baby oil.
It's like little tiny little, you know, uh-
Yeah, that's wild.
Magnifying glasses, like, you know, little molecules that they would just like rub it,
they would pour it all over themselves.
I still remember the feel of it, like my mom would pick me up when I was a kid.
I still remember the feel of it and the smell of it.
That baby oil, everybody in that Chicago, greater Chicagoland area was just baby oiling
it up and sitting themselves out in the back and tanning up.
Yeah, my parents didn't see the sun until, you know, they moved to Atlanta.
Yeah, because you grew up...
I grew up in Atlanta, but my...
But you were born...
Were you born out of it?
I was born in Atlanta.
Oh, I thought you were born out of the country.
No, my parents are both from...
Well, my mom's from Scotland and my dad's from England.
Okay, so explain to us, is Scotland still part of England or are they thinking about
tearing away?
First of all, Scotland is not part of England.
England is not part of Scotland.
I'm sorry.
Okay, sorry.
Yeah, they're still part of the United Kingdom.
Okay, they're still part of the United Kingdom.
I mean, they talk about independence, but personally, I don't think it's a good idea
and my family's very pro staying in the UK, but who knows?
Are they pro-monarchy?
Ah, you know, it's tricky.
Or does it even really matter?
I'm kind of anti-monarchy, but I think my parents are pro-monarchy, or pro the Royals.
I think it's just part of their generation.
Yeah.
They're all just much more connected to the idea of the royal family, whereas me and my
sisters are like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Okay.
We're like, they're all scammers.
Oh, definitely. They own like a tenth of the land of England or something?
I don't know. It's weird. I'm just like, this just doesn't make sense to like someone who
grew up in America. I'm just like, what the fuck is this?
Yeah. Why do the, why do the royals own billions and billions of dollars worth of real estate
that's just
given to them every year?
And then isn't it like sometimes when someone dies and they own an estate, like it goes
to the King's Fund for whatever reason or some shit like that?
Because you're the closest that I'm ever going to get to like a real person from Scotland.
Do you think that the Royals in general is an outdated concept that needs to be phased
out?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Yeah, 100%.
And do you agree with me on this?
When the Queen and Diana, that kind of the golden years of tabloid queendom and Diana
and all that, that was kind of like the last kickin' hurrah
for the Royals, and it's really kind of a shit show now
after the Queen died.
Yeah, I guess, like, when Kate first sort of came
on the scene and like those years of her
being deeply involved, there was a lot of like
positive tabloid stuff, but then with like all the
Meghan Markle stuff, it just became a massive,
massive shit show, because it's just like all the Meghan Markle stuff, it just became a massive, massive shit show.
Because it's just like the British media in general is extremely mean and horrifying.
And so it's, I don't know, I think things just like took such a turn.
And I think my generation is like, can you guys just not?
You know, we're just like, what the hell is this? We just didn't sign up for
everyone to be like horribly mean to these randos in power, like, but also just like get them out of
power. We just don't like, why are, why is all our money going towards them? And like, this isn't
like a serfdom. No. You know, it's so weird. It's really weird how it's set up because in some sense, it's just ministerial.
Like, it's not even, you give money to them to keep them all, you know, posh in the castles.
And it's like, why do we pay their salaries? You know?
I don't know.
It's weird.
Is it with the prime minister every third week or something?
It's like PR. They're just like going around visiting hospitals and stuff.
They visit hospitals and they open up small businesses.
This might come off like super ignorant because we really don't know, but I don't know.
After watching The Queen all of the seasons, I know a little bit more than I did before.
Oh, you mean not The Crown?
The Crown, not The Queen.
The Crown.
I've seen The Queen too, that was a good movie.
I was like, what are you talking about, watching The Queen for four seasons?
I was like, she is dead, I don't know if you know that. I had no interest in that. None whatsoever, you know, except for the passing princess die thing
that happened, you know, but I was very young when, when all that went down. But that crown
filled me in on a lot of stuff and I found it to be a fascinating watch. And you really find out
that, you know, their jobs really are, there's, first of all, there's a million
of them.
Yeah.
Right? They're all over the place and they all got different, these different titles
and half of them do nothing.
And there's a known pedophile in their ranks, Prince Andrew.
That is true. And that is a really tough pill to swallow. And now I hear he won't leave
the castle that he's been given.
Because he's a creepy pervert.
Yes. And Charles tried to take the castle away from me. He said, no, I'm not leaving.
So rather than fight with him, Charles is like, whatever. I got cancer. I can't argue
with you. And so he took all his staff away and then Prince Andrew hired his own staff.
It's just so weird.
It's so weird. And it's like, why are like as a country, obviously I'm not part of it.
I am a citizen, but I am not a resident. Like, why are we as a country like paying for this
pedophile to, like, continue
living under a roof that our taxes provided?
Yeah, I know.
It's crazy.
But then again, you look at America and you're like, well, this place is fucked too.
Yeah, this place is fucked up too.
And full of pedos.
Yes.
Well, I mean, everywhere is full of pedos.
Like, you know, it's just a thing.
It's just sad and scary.
It's sad and it's scary.
There has to be, I mean, I don't know. And the
internet has made it worse, I think. 50,000 times worse. And 50,000 times worse
because if that is in you, if that little seed of sickness is in you, it just, it
pours gasoline on the fire. It's horrible. I mean, I don't, that's not getting into it. We don't need to get into it. Yeah, because then this-
We just don't need to talk about internet vetoes.
Then this episode will be demonetized.
Someday I'd like to talk about it
because I have a very interesting question
that I would love to pose.
I'm not gonna pose it here,
but I love a very interesting question
about this that I would love to pose.
And one day when we make enough money
and I can afford to demonetize one episode,
I'll talk about it, but it's just,
it's a terrible, terrible thing and it's pervasive.
And it's like, it's everywhere.
I mean, you know, poor Justin Bieber.
That's all I can say.
Hey, Biebs, I love you, buddy.
I mean, I'm not a big fan of Justin Bieber's like music
or anything like that,
but now I'm looking at Justin in a whole different way.
I'm like, was he just like part of that whole weird thing
going on?
Anyway, I hope that William,
I think William's your best shot
of bringing some stability to this whole royal thing.
Well, I guess he'll be around for long.
So I don't know.
I don't think the royals will ever give up their power.
No, they won't because that's just bred in them.
That's all they know.
That's all they ever know.
And even if they go-
Well, I personally loved seeing Harry leave the royal family. That's all they know, that's all they ever know. And even if they go- I personally loved seeing Harry leave the royal family.
That's great.
My parents hate him and my grandparents.
Oh really?
Yeah, they're like, oh Harry and Meghan Markle are horrendous.
It's so weird to me,
because they're just like pro royal, I guess.
I don't know.
They're like, he betrayed his country, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Which is like, you know, a viewpoint.
It's a viewpoint. It's, yes. It's a viewpoint.
It's a thing.
It's not mine.
No, it's not mine either.
Yeah, it's just strange, but I also think it's like
a symptom of where they grew up, when they grew up,
and you know.
I think that Harry, that was some self-preservation
for him and his relationship, and Harry was known
as a bit of a wild child anyway,
he was never gonna be the king. Yeah, I say good for him. Good for him, as a bit of a wild child anyway, he was never going to be the king.
Yeah. I say good for him.
Good for him. It's not like the guy's hurting. He's got like four Netflix shows that were
not interesting, but at least they're out there doing their thing. They're making a
living. And I read that some people don't want to invite him to parties. They have to
invite him to parties, but they're like, I don't really want to invite Harry to parties.
But that's so shitty. Like the poor kid. He was just born into it his mom died
Give him a fucking break. I mean can we all just have a little bit of sympathy for the kids
It's all about the kids
For the kids do it for the kids. I'm doing it for the kids. Oh
All right, well thanks for joining me. I really appreciate it. Sorry it didn't work out like we intended.
But you know what, whatever.
I don't care.
Yeah, well thanks for having me.
Yeah, like I said, sometimes we get ghosted
by these celebrities.
I'm sure there's a good reason and we'll figure it out.
But then sometimes there's not a good reason.
Or there's not.
Yeah, there's not, and then we don't figure it out.
And then I'm left to conjecture.
Yeah.
They hate us.
They don't like the commercial.
It's a conspiracy against the commercial break. Diddy told him not to come on the show
Yeah, you never know you never know what's in somebody's head
But like I said the first time you it's like sex at the first time it's painful and hurts
Yeah, you hope it never happens again, but then by the third time you're like, ah, whatever. I'll do it again
Oh my god, I love the Fourth of July.
I love the Fourth of July.
Fireworks outside, fireworks inside.
My pants!
