On this episode of the commercial break. Maybe it's because I know how miserable working through a drive-through is. I don't want to subject people to that. Maybe it's because I don't like to sit in that fucking line and be bothered by everybody in front and in back of me. But I mean, they still would have seen the white powder. But then at least, you know, oh, Brian's having a little quick, you know, toot and snoot
Starting point is 00:01:09 before he gets his weekend started. Yeah, a little morning toot and snoot. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Yeah, boy! Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the damsel certainly not in distress, Kristin Joy Hoadley, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the damsel certainly not in distress, Kristin Joy Hoadley.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Best of you, Chrissy. Best of you, Brian. And best of you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. I know, are you feeling convivial? I am feeling convivial today. All right. Thank you for sharing with me
Starting point is 00:01:40 the wonderful world of conviviality. Yes, it's fun. Now I'm gonna use that word every third word so I can make myself sound important, Chrissy. Important! I saw like a very distressing ad on Instagram the other day. How long have you had your mattress for, your current mattress?
Starting point is 00:02:00 Oh, we got it during the pandemic, so four years. Okay, so not that long, not that long. What about your pillows? No, I change those out pretty regular. Like once a year. Once a year? Yeah. Once a year? Well, there's some special. How much are we paying you? Once a year? Geez.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Well, I'm also, I'm never quite satisfied with my pillows. No, I'm never quite satisfied with mine either. And then I'll go back to ones. Like I don't throw them away necessarily. You have a pillow closet? I just rotate. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah go back to ones, like I don't throw them away necessarily. I just rotate. You have a pillow closet? Yeah. Yeah, okay, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Yeah, hey, listen, that's a good way to do it. I cannot find, I have one pillow, one pillow, and I've had that pillow for about four years, probably the entirety of the pandemic since we started this. And I think that pillow is pretty darn okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's not okay all nights, it's not great most nights, but it does the trick sometimes. And I feel like that's the best it's going to get.
Starting point is 00:02:52 And I think that this feels kind of sad for me in my life, like that the best I'm going to get is this pillow that kind of does the trick. I can just never find a pillow that really works. I know. They're either too hard, too soft. That's it. I mean, basically too hard, too soft. I like a heavy, soft pillow, but I don't want my neck to be too cricked. Well, that's the thing. You need the neck support, or you will wake up with a crick.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah. Crick in your neck. You know, I feel like- Is that the correct terminology? A crick in your neck? I don't know. Who came up with that? What is a crick and why is it in your neck? I know what a crick is on Mountain Monsters. That's a body of small body of water flowing north to south. But I don't know what a crick in your neck is, but I've never known. But I'll
Starting point is 00:03:33 tell you what, when I go to the chiropractor, it gets that crick right out of my neck. Yeah, they do. I hear it. Oh yeah, the neck pop at the chiropractor. I love it. Oh, me too. Oh, it's the best thing in the world. It is.
Starting point is 00:03:43 It's sweet relief. It's just sweet relief. It's like I live for the neck crack because I can't do it on my own. A lot of the back stuff I can figure out how to do on my own. And I'm a back cracker, man. I'm always twisting my back. It's always some kind of like a fucked up.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And so I've learned a lot of exercises and stretches. Yeah, foam roller is good for that too. To get into those deep spots. But that neck one, I used to be able to pop my neck, like just pull it and pop it. And I loved it because if I was feeling a little out of whack, I could pop it and then it felt much better. But I lost that ability.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I don't know what happened. My neck something. Maybe it's because I'm going to a chiropractor and it's not so fucked up anymore. I don't know. Anyway, I saw an ad for a something. I'm not going to mention the name here. I'm not giving away free advertising. We're barely getting paid advertising. But what I saw disturbed me
Starting point is 00:04:31 because the person who looked like a doctor, they had the doctor's outfit on, they said that after two years, almost 20% of the weight of the pillow is dust mites and dust mite shit. No, I'm just talking about the dust mites. Dust mites and dust mite shit. And now he's advising us to not make our beds because the natural sunlight kills the dust mites. And when you make the bed, you keep them living and growing. And I can't deal with this.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It makes my OCD go into high drive, both things. I'm damned if I do, I'm god damned if I don't. Do you know what I'm saying? I don't want to think about the fact that my four year old pillow is 40% dust mites. But at the same time, I don't want to think about walking into my room without a made bed. It drives me insane.
Starting point is 00:05:21 That's why I like hotels, because they really do it right when they, I mean, if you go to the right hotel, they really do it right when they make those beds. And I love it. I love a good made bed. I like to lay on top of my made bed and take a nap. I don't even bother the sheets. Like I don't want to... I do the same thing and I have a blankie for that, for my nap. It's my nap blankie. That should be the only way we're allowed to take naps. The only way you're allowed to take naps is to lay on a bed that is made and put a dainty little blanket on you, because in the middle of the afternoon, you really need the whole shebang. You don't, because then you're just going to fall asleep for
Starting point is 00:05:51 hours. But dainty little blanket on, we should put this in the notebook, in the treaty, because this is really important, I feel like. I feel like some people are doing this a lot, very wrong. I've seen people, I've been with people, I've known people who get in to the bed as if they're going to bed at night. Jeff says it. I can't take it. What's wrong with his brain? I know, I'm like, why? What is wrong with him?
Starting point is 00:06:13 No. This is craziness. But now we have doctors. And so, I Googled this and I find a litany, literally, a gander of doctors that are out there telling us the same exact thing. To just lay on top of the made bed? No, is that you should be keeping your bed unmade every day. They say change your sheets about once a week and keep your bed unmade. I do change the sheets once a week or so. We definitely change them once a week. Yeah, but we have kids who do all kind of weird shit in there. And then we have us who do all kinds of weird shit in there.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And then we have us who do all kinds of weird shit in there too. But that pillow, I love that pillow. And just the thought of having to give it up because there's dust mite shit all collecting in there is making me very sad. And I'm stressed about it. I really am stressed about it, actually. I went to bed last night thinking about it. Can you not get a new one that's the same pillow?
Starting point is 00:07:00 I don't even remember where I got it. I got the pillow from Bed Bath Beyond. They don't even exist anymore. They're done. Now they're online. Now they I got the pillow from Bed Bath Beyond. They don't even exist anymore. They're done. Now they're online. Now they're like, you know, the Amazon of bedding stores. But how do I try out a pillow if I can't physically hold it? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Where do I go? Target, Walmart, I guess. But do they have it? You could have a place that has a good return policy. Yeah, that's true. That's true. But don't they treat pillows like they treat shoes? Like if they see a little scuff mark,
Starting point is 00:07:24 they're not gonna bring it back. I don't know. It depends on the store. Yeah, I'll bring. That's true. But don't they treat pillows like they treat shoes? Like if they see a little scuff mark, they're not going to bring it back? Mm. I don't know. It depends on the store. Yeah. I'll bring it back two years from now when the dust mites are all set. I mean, this is just, it's just weird. It took me so long to find this pillow. And now I have to think about the fact that there are dust mites just running all over me at night. Makes me sick to my stomach. But I also- There's also like skin that I've heard too, like-
Starting point is 00:07:44 Yeah, I'm not so worried about that. And sweat. Because I take a three hour shower before I go to bed. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I exfoliate. So I'm, you know, I'm not too, too worried about that. And that's not living.
Starting point is 00:07:57 That's not alive. What I'm worried about is the alive stuff, the dust mice. God damn, Chrissy. Really, the longer I live, the more things I'm supposed to be scared of. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, I should have known this my entire life. Like, I should have known my entire life when my dad was telling me to make my bed, that in fact, I should have never been making my bed. Beth Dombkowski That's right.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Jared Liesveld I mean, my dad would go crazy if he heard this information. Crazy. Beth Dombkowski So, what do you, I mean, I guess there's a way, right way to do it and that would just be that you maybe fold, fold your sheets and you're bedding down to the... Listen, these doctors... I definitely couldn't have like scattered... No, no. Comforters and things.
Starting point is 00:08:34 No, you're making me sick just talking about it. Listen to me, Kristen Joy Hoadley, listen to me. These fucking doctors in this fucking video, and then additional research that I did, they are literally showing beds like you just popped out of bed, right? Not that you folded it, you didn't make your pillows, you didn't fluff them up, you didn't put them against the headboard, literally like you slept. That's how they're showing. That's what they're showing in the stock footage of. Really?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yes. And so how am I supposed to be a human being and do this? Doesn't make any sense. Listen, if we were in the middle of a human being and do this? It doesn't make any sense. Listen, if we were in the middle of a nuclear war and everything had gone to hell in a hand basket, I could at least have some comfort in knowing that my bed would be made when I got home. Yeah, it would be made every day. Yeah, well, because there's nothing like getting into a maid bed. Nothing! There's no nothing on earth like it. I can't think of anything else.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It's like a warm cover. It's like the, you know, I mean, I hate to put it this way, but I'm going to put it this way. It's like the perfect penis or the perfect vagina. You find it, you stick with it. You know what I'm saying? You make your bed because it's the perfect thing. There is nothing quite like pulling down those sheets at night.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Exactly, slipping into the covers. Sliding in. Yeah, I know. And it doesn't feel the same if you just... Sliding. It doesn't feel the same as when you got into the bed. No, it doesn't. You had to pull up rumpled
Starting point is 00:10:05 covers. Yeah, I had to pull up rumpled covers, and I think about all the flop sweat I had last night. But somehow it magically goes away if I put my sheets up and tighten them, and everything's good. I can't take this. I can't take it. I'm really distressed.
Starting point is 00:10:20 I'm super distressed about this. Of all the things I got going on in my life that I have to be stressed about, what I'm really stressed about is not making my bed. That's what I'm stressed about. I cannot take it any longer. Well, it's the things you can control. Yes, it's one of the things that I can control in my life. You're right about that. And it's something that also makes me feel very good. When I walk into my room, you know, you go into your, I don't know, I work from the house, obviously, but I go into my room, you know, you go into your, I don't know, I work from the house, obviously, but I go into my room multiple times a day. Sometimes I take phone calls in there, whatever
Starting point is 00:10:48 I'm doing, I want to go watch a, you know, five seconds worth of TV before one of my kids screams at me, whatever it is. When I go in there, there is some kind of, there's some level of satisfaction, love. I am so madly in love with my wife, but I'm equally and madly in love with my maid, Ben. I don't know how to say it any other way. It's just the way that I feel. That is important. It really is. We spend what, there's, you know, what, something.
Starting point is 00:11:16 You spend half your life there. Yeah. Yeah. If it's half. I don't know. What are you, what are the single people doing? The people without kids. I don't know, they spend half their life in there. That's what I feel like. Yeah. I see all these kids, tick-tocking and
Starting point is 00:11:28 tweeting and all that Instagramming or whatever it is, Insta-ing. And I'm telling you what, they're all in bed. I've seen, there's now podcasts where people are just laying in bed. Who's that girl? You've seen the girl? What's her name? You know what I'm talking about? The girl everyone's crazy about. It almost dated Drake or they broke up or, you know, I'm talking, I can't remember the girl's name. She's doing a podcast for bed. You know what I'm talking about? The girl everyone's crazy about, it almost dated Drake or they broke up or, you know what I'm talking about. I can't remember the girl's name. She's doing a podcast for bed. Well, so did Megan Mullally and her husband
Starting point is 00:11:51 did a podcast that was all in bed. Well, was the bed made is all I gotta know. That's my question. They were laying down in the covers? They were in it, yeah. Oh, wow. Listen, I just cannot get on board with this. No matter how sick it's going to eventually make me,
Starting point is 00:12:10 I'm going to continue to make my bed as long as these hands will pull up the covers. I guarantee you the people that are living to these great old ages. Make their bed. Make their bed. I most likely make their bed and have been sleeping on older pillows.
Starting point is 00:12:27 My mental health is so much more important than dust mites. My physical health. That's right. Listen, this body's going to go. It's already gone. There's no use for it anymore. But this mind, this mind is still 50% of what it was at its heyday, right? And I got to keep it that way. And so, I can't be worrying when I'm out there in the wild jungle of, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:52 dodging Karens and Starbucks idiots and, you know, driving like morons. When I have to go out there in the world, it's very big and scary place for everyone right now. When I have to go out there, I often think about my maid bed. That's what I think about. Beth Dombkowski Don't think that. But even if I'm running late, I will quickly make the bed. I did it today. Jared Sienkiewicz Oh, yeah. Beth Dombkowski You know.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Beth Dombkowski I was like, gotta make that bed. Jared Sienkiewicz When I'm have, God bless this child, I don't know why she stays with me. I will make the bed, no matter what I will make the bed. And I do chores. I'm not afraid of any of that stuff. Housework, as much as I'm allowed to, I go in on it. But most, at least weekdays, I go in to do the morning press conference with the kids. I have my, in my bathroom with my coffee and my important reading materials. And the kids come in and sit around, stand around me and we all, yeah. And we all talk, we conversate. When I'm giving my morning press conference, Astrid's making that bed because that's what she does. She just comes in, she makes the bed. This is
Starting point is 00:13:50 just nothing like it. It fills my heart with joy that she took the time to do that and then it fills my heart with joy that it's done. And I just love it. And I make the bed on the weekends usually, you know, I'm the one, I get up there, I pull up the covers. And there's just a certain way to do it. There's a certain finesse about it that we like. And I can't think of giving that up for nothing. I am a heroin addict with bedsheets. That's what it is. That's what I'm saying, kids. And I just can't be bothered with any of this scientific bullshit. Now I know what the vaccine people were talking about. You know what I'm saying? Fuck science. Let's go backwards. That's all I care about.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Let's do it. I'm all about it. And I'm not giving up that pillow quite yet because I got to go find another one. And where is there a pillow store? Who's got a pillow store? Macy's, I guess. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've gotten some pillows from Macy's and those are pretty good. There's another couple of sites that I could tell you about. Okay, yeah, please do. I'd rather a place where I can go and physically interact with the pillow. I got to Macy's and I, like, the last time I bought a bed, I went to Macy's. I was there for six hours. And five and a half of those hours. What's that? I'd say any mall or bedding stores. I mean, like mattress stores have pillows.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Yeah, I've tried those pillows out, like from the mattress firms and places like that. And I find that they just carry their brand of pillows and maybe one other. And they're like those, I don't know why people like these type of pillows, but they're a little bit lighter and they're puffy, you know? And you have to like actually lay on them
Starting point is 00:15:20 and then it lets some of the air out, but it's like puffy and it makes my neck hurt. No, I want flat and mushy. I want mashed potatoes in my pot. I like foam. You like foam? Yeah. Yeah, do you guys have a foam mattress top?
Starting point is 00:15:34 No. No, okay, either do we. Yeah, I'm not going for that. And you know what we did this last time we got a mattress? We did put one of those hermetically sealed mattress covers on it. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. The kind that like zip up, right? And you getmetically sealed mattress covers on it. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:46 The kind that like zip up, right? We can spill anything on it and it's not gonna get to the mattress. So maybe in that sense, I'm a little less scared of the dust mites because I know they're very small and they could probably get through the little holes in that. Even though water can't penetrate it,
Starting point is 00:16:00 the fucking dust mites will. Maybe you need a pillow maybe maybe just think about a new pillow cover yeah I got the cover that I like I just got to find a pillow that fits in there and here's the thing send me to a store I need to make a day out of it because last time I went for a mattress I asked her and I were there about six hours and about five and a half hours of that was me taking like 15 minute naps on each bed. And you think I'm kidding, I'm not. I was driving this salesperson fucking bananas.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Because he'd be like, oh, here's our Sealy, Posturepedic, queen size, Bob, DVD, ba-da-ba-doo, whatever he was saying. And I'd be taking a nap. I'd be sleeping while he was talking. But we had just had our 53rd child and I was like... Right. You were taking a nap. like, You were taking a nap. Oh, I was taking a nap. Yes. And then I started, and then forget about it. When I got to the pillow section, oh, forget about it.
Starting point is 00:16:52 The guy was like, he was absolutely going insane. But even the nice mattress store that we went to did not have great pillows. I had to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and I had to find one of these, you know, off-brand pillows, it's very heavy, it's weighted, and it's just, it is like, like really firm mashed potatoes is all I can say. And it is great, one of the seven nights a week, and then the other nights, and how is that possible? How can I not like it every night of the week? How is that possible? Am I such a persnickety human being that I really can't live with a pillow full seven days?
Starting point is 00:17:28 You need to keep rotating. Oh, I'm going to be rotating. Don't you worry about it. I'm going to be rotating. I would rather switch out mattresses every morning than not make my bed. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to have seven mattresses and I'm just going to rotate them and the other six days are going to be left out in the sun to kill all the dust mites. That's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna have seven mattresses and I'm just gonna rotate them and the other six days are gonna be left out in the sun to kill all the dust mites. That's what I'm gonna do. There you go.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Start hanging my sheets outside the window. Why don't you put your pillow out there? Put your pillow out in the sun. Yeah, I know. I asked her, you gotta get rid of that fucking pillow. I know, I made Jeff just get rid of one too. I was like, I was like, we bought that. I remember buying that like right around the time
Starting point is 00:18:03 we were getting serious and that's 10 years ago. Oh, did you really? Yeah, I was like, we gotta get rid of that. Oh my God. Time for a new one. Oh, poor Jeff. He wouldn't have known, he was like, what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Because I do, I buy pillows all the time, I'm always switching stuff out, bedding wise. And so he probably just thought that was a new one. He probably thought that that was the same pillow. I think maybe Astrid's doing that too, but I just haven't noticed yet. Maybe that's why it's only comfortable part of the time is because she's actually just switching pillows
Starting point is 00:18:36 until I say, I got a good night's sleep. And Astrid is always so concerned with my sleep. Let me tell you something. Sleep's important. I know, but with the children and with all of the comings and goings of the kids and our lives, I either am feeling a little bit stressed out at the end of the day or because the next day is already coming and I don't want to think about it, or it's just uncomfortable to sleep because there's a lot of commotion sometimes that happens in the
Starting point is 00:19:01 middle of the night, that the last five or six years have not been the greatest sleeping years of my life. I'm not getting great sleep all the time. And I'd say probably, if I get two really good stretches of sleep a week, like a good four to six hour stretch where I'm uninterrupted, my eyes are closed, and I wake up feeling a little bit refreshed, that is a good week. Because the other five or six nights of the week, I am just miserable. I'm just tossing and turning and miserable. And so I feel like I need to give myself the best possible opportunity to have a good night's sleep
Starting point is 00:19:34 by making sure that my fucking pillow is comfortable. That's right. And so if it's got 12 pounds of dust mites in it, well then damn be it. Those dust mites and I are going down together. That's right. We're all going down together. Everybody's gonna get asleep. That's right. Everybody's all going down together. Everybody's going to get asleep.
Starting point is 00:19:45 That's right. Everybody's going to sleep together. Yeah. Hey, listen, as long as they're sleeping, I guess I can live with them. That's right. But I'll tell you what, I'll be fucking goddamn before I start not making my bed. I want to hear from those of you who do not make your bed, because I know there's some of you nasty motherfuckers out there.
Starting point is 00:19:59 212-433-3TCB, I want to hear, do you not make your bed because you're lazy or do you not make your bed because of some other reason? And I do know, personally know people in my life, and I have dated people who don't make the bed. And that is a deal breaker. It was a deal breaker. Yeah, now I'd let it drag on for a couple months because it's hard to find a girlfriend these days, but, you know, that's neither here nor there, Chrissy. Not talking about that part of the story. No, not yet. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:28 We have lots more chat to come. I promise we'll drop the pillows for right now, but I'll be back to it. Don't you worry. I'm following up on this one. This one is going to, it's going to get stuck in my craw. I guarantee. I know my OCD. Like a crick in the neck.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Like a crick in the neck. I gotta go pop it out. All right. Let's take a break and then, uh, yeah, we'll be back. I know you're already on your phone. So pull up Instagram and follow us at the commercial break and then follow us on TikTok at TCB podcast. Done?

Starting point is 00:22:20 I had a really bad case of acne. Like they called it cystic acne. And it was fucking miserable. Because being 13 years old is difficult enough as it is. But then have literal moons show up on your face from one day to the other that are huge, red, and impossible to get rid of. And life is a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Now, luckily I have my award winning personality to go along with it. I actually think this is part of it. That's where you developed it? I think it's part of where I started to develop my love of the comic sensibility. Like my sensibilities as far as comedy was concerned. Yeah, I was gonna laugh or I was gonna cry.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And either I was gonna laugh at myself first and beat them to the punch or they were going to laugh at me. But if I could laugh along with them or make them laugh even harder than they were already laughing at me, then there was some justice in it or there was some comfort in that. So, but I had to take this medicine called Accutane. Accutane is now banned. Yeah, Jeff had to do the same thing. Oh, he did? He called Accutane. Accutane is now banned. Yeah, Jeff had to do the same thing. Oh, he did? He took Accutane? Oh, I think actually Jeff and I talked about this.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And it was a no joke medication. That medication made you shed skin like a dog sheds hair. It was insane. Your skin was constantly peeling. Your face was constantly red and dry, and what it was doing was killing the oil pores, essentially. So, and this actually is part of the reason how I got addicted to kind of tanning, right? Because I had no interest in the sun until I turned about 15 years old, took Accutane, and the doctor's orders were this, stay the fuck out of the sun for the next six months while you do this, right? And at that time, they didn't know that Accutane also caused serious psychological issues. Danielle Pletka And like a kidney or liver damage,
Starting point is 00:24:17 something like that. Jared Svelick I don't know. I'm still here, so I guess it didn't for me. But I think the thing they found first was there was a very high instance of suicide on people that were taking this particular drug because it was driving them crazy. And now that I think back, or when I, you know, I realized this probably 15 years ago, but when I looked back on it, when all the conversation about Accutane started coming up, when I looked back on it, there was some, I was going through some serious emotional issues during that period of time.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It did affect me in that way, I'm sure of it. But it sure did take care of the acne, right? I mean, yeah. At least that part was knocked out. I mean, basically caused me to go crazy, but I didn't have a zit to be found. It really cleared my skin up. It worked like magic. I had no more cystic acne. So,
Starting point is 00:25:06 I took it for about six months. I dealt with it for about another six months after that. And then just slowly it went away. So, about a year and a half later, I just never dealt with acne again. But the doctor said, stay out of the sun while you're on it for the year, while you're on it, and then six months later. But then you may need to see yourself get in the sun or a tanning bed or UV light or whatever, you know, on a frequent basis-ish to make sure that your skin stays dry, right? And so that, and he said also- Doctors orders! Doctors orders! That's what I've been saying. Now, my new doctor, dermatologist, says that is bullshit. That is bullshit. I don't know who told you that, but that's not how it works,
Starting point is 00:25:45 right? Okay, but whatever. I'm going to listen to the first doctor because he was back in the 90s when everything was hot to try, the Zazz 90s. You know what I'm saying? Whizbang 90s. But I say all this to say that he also told me that we don't know that Accutane lasts forever. We don't know that it kills your oil pores or the cystic acne or whatever's called, whatever the reason why I was getting it. We don't know that it takes care of it forever. We just think it'll take care of it for a period of time. So you may end up dealing with this later on in life, which I haven't, luckily.
Starting point is 00:26:16 But now every once in a while, I'll get a zit here and there, like everybody else, right? But what I've found is, since I got this beard, I find that oftentimes I'll get a zit under the beard, right? And then it'll combo, it'll team up with a hair follicle to get an ingrown hair slash pimple. Do you know what I'm saying? Oftentimes right on top of each other or right next door to each other. So it's like a double mess going on. And sometimes it happens right here on my upper lip where my beard meets my lip. So I wake up whenever, a couple days ago, and then I can feel it.
Starting point is 00:26:49 You know, you can't see it, but you can feel it. You're like, oh fuck, motherfucker. And so I got that benzoyl peroxide shit that everybody has sitting somewhere in their cabin. It's probably crusty white shit falling all over it. And you know, I go, I probably had the same bottle for 10 years. Oh yeah, because you still use it on a regular basis.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I don't use it, I have three, four times a year. I think I had to throw ours out recently. I was cleaning out the medicine cabinet and was like, oh, that expired like five years ago. I think I still have clear cell from back when I was taking Accutane. And I use it, you know, I'm like, oh, whatever. And so I dab a little bit, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:23 So, and then I had one like right under my nose right here, right? So, I dab a little bit here on my lip and I dab a little bit on my nose. So, I got two white spots right there and then I go to bed, go to sleep. With your dust mites. With my dust mites, my dust mite buddies and my mashed potato pillow. But my bed was made and that's what's important. So I wake up the next day and as I often do, I run to the kitchen to go get my coffee and I hurry to the bathroom
Starting point is 00:27:53 to release that coffee into the wild. So I go and I realize that this is how I do it. I get a nice large cup of coffee and I don't drink the whole thing because I can't take that much caffeine in the day, but then I have a leftover for the next day and then I rinse and repeat. Oh, you do like a half. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, half and half.
Starting point is 00:28:14 And so I'll throw the other half into a new cup and then I got that for tomorrow and so on and so forth and I just switch out cups every day, right? So I go in there, but every once in a blue moon, the schedule gets fucked up for some reason and I don't have my full half cup of coffee ready for the next morning. And so to my chagrin, it was a weekend day, and I didn't have my full half cup of coffee. I was very good at full half, the full half. It's gotta be full to the half.
Starting point is 00:28:37 It's gotta be right up to the half full level. Oh, you're so funny. I like your routine, your sense of routine. My cystic acne caused me to be that funny. All right, so kids are running around, morning press conference, I'm out of coffee. So I run out to Astrid, I say, I gotta go. I gotta go into the coffee shop right now.
Starting point is 00:29:00 It's very important, can you make the bed? I actually made the bed, Then I went. So, of course, honey, you know, okay, I'll be back in a few minutes. So, I go up to Starbucks, get out of the car, go to Starbucks. I haven't showered or anything. I walk into the Starbucks and the young lady, who I know, and I've known probably for two years now, is just like staring at me, like with her head cock like this. And I'm like, what is going on? Why is that? She gave me kind of a weird look, right?
Starting point is 00:29:28 She's like, the usual? And I'm like, yeah. And she's like straining her face a little bit, the usual. And I'm like, what is weird? And then all the little baristas, not little baristas, the baristas that I know are back there doing, hey Brian, hey, hey. And every time someone says hi, hey and looks up to me,
Starting point is 00:29:42 they're like, hey. They're doing like a double take. They're doing a double take. I'm like, am I a booger? What's going on? I mean, you know, what's going on? Are they mad at me for some reason? Okay, now I wanna show you exactly why the baristas
Starting point is 00:29:58 were looking at me in this weird way, Chrissy. And it doesn't take a genius to figure this out. I had not washed my face before I went to the coffee shop. So, the white stuff was still stuck. Now, luckily, over the course of the night, I guess it rubbed off my lip, but I had not, unfortunately, taken it off of my nose. So, this is how I walked into the Starbucks. Today we're wondering if you actually did need coffee because it looks like you just snorted it up. Yes, I had a long night at the office and I have cocaine stuck directly under my nose.
Starting point is 00:30:37 I mean, if I saw that, if I saw that, I'd be like, holy shit, that bro's hardcore. That bro is hardcore. Look at him. He just walked in here with a fucking, just did a key bump. Into the coffee store. Yeah, into the coffee store. That's right. To get more high. I mean, these people were rightfully looking at me like I was an insane person. Usual? Yeah, the usual? Are you sure? Should we call an ambulance?
Starting point is 00:31:09 Because I walk in there all stressed out that I don't have coffee. My eyes are probably bulging because I don't have, you know, I'm having caffeine withdrawal. I'm like, ah, I need some coffee. And they're probably like, no, no, you don't actually. Settle down, Brian. The manager comes over, puts her arm around me. Listen, I've had friends that have gone through this before. We can help. It works if you work it.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Have you gone to AA, NA, anything like that? Chrissy, I got fucking white shit all up in my nose and on my beard, and it looks like I have done cocaine. I mean, exactly like I had just done a bump and it had come off on my beard. It was unbelievable. So you didn't even realize this until you got back in the car, maybe? I didn't realize it until I got into the shower. I took one, you know, I try not to look at myself too much, but then there's a mirror right near the shower and I just looked over and I was like,
Starting point is 00:31:59 what is that? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, because you can't take that back. And if you walk in making excuses, then they think you have more of a problem than you actually do. Now they're like, well, denial is the first step. Right. You're just going to have to move past it. That's right. Denial is the first part of addiction. And I'm like, oh, I just have to glide by it. Or you could make fun of it, you know, and you could just go in the next time with two. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:27 And just continue this. Listen, I should do this. I just keep up this running joke of going into the Starbucks every day. Yes, I should lean into it. I can do one of two things. I can ignore, I can do one of three things. I can ignore it, which I have done so far. I can address it like, hey, remember the other day when I had cocaine under my nose? And he can't do that. It just clears up. No, you can't do that. Because of course they're going to be like, sure, Brian, I'm 25 years old. I know what a long night looks like. And you look like a long night every time you come in here. Or number three, I just keep it going. And then someone will eventually ask, what's that? And I'll'll go. Oh when I was 15 years old I had six acne
Starting point is 00:33:06 I could tell the story Or maybe you could like be in there while you're waiting you place your order and you're waiting and maybe you could just whip out The the baggie. Yeah. Oh, yeah You're like I have to do this treatment. Get a little compact mirror and be like. I have to do this treatment. It's this treatment. It's for my stastegacne.
Starting point is 00:33:31 It's a preventative measure. Or I could take out a little baggie with like baking powder in it and just be like, and see if anybody stops me because it's 2024 and I don't think anybody would actually. I don't think so would actually. I think I'd be on Instagram before anybody would say anything to me. I mean, it was the most embarrassing fucking thing because there is no good way out of this. None. There's no good way out of it. They all think I'm a cokehead. I know what's happened. So there's probably 30 people that work at that Starbucks, right? It's a rotating cast of characters. Every morning you go in there, it's like,
Starting point is 00:34:05 it's, you know, I don't know. It's like those lottery balls jangling around in that thing when they pick them up. It's like, you never know who you're gonna get. But I know almost every one of them, unless they're new or visiting for another store. And so I know how the restaurant business works. Instant, there's a WhatsApp group, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:22 Starbucks North of Atlanta, you know, Chitty Chat group or whatever. And they're probably like, if someone took a picture, for sure, I just know. Someone took a picture. Did you see Brian today? Yeah, look at Brian. Now we know what he does for a living.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Coke dealer. So you know that there's an instant. You could also use the drive-through. I could, but I don't like the drive-through. The drive-through at Starbucks is not my thing. I don't know. Maybe it's because it's like one of the few human-adult interactions that I get on a daily basis.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Could be true. And I like to extend it just a couple extra minutes. Maybe it's because I know how miserable working through a drive-through is. I don't want to subject people to that. Maybe it's because I don't like to sit in that fucking line and be bothered by everybody in front and in back of me. But had I, I mean, they still would have seen the white powder, but then at least, you know, oh, Brian's having a little quick, you know, toot and snoot before he gets his weekend started.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Yeah, a little morning toot and snoot. But now there's no good way. So, I'm just praying and I don't think there's almost anybody. Here's also why I really like the Starbucks, because they're all so young up there. I know there's zero chance they're ever going to find the commercial break. And no one's ever asked me what I do for a living. And I like it that way. It's not Starbucks kind of conversation. It avoids questions. So, you know, but I'm saying this out loud in the hopes that the people at my Starbucks will have actually listened to this episode and they'll go, oh, Brian, but maybe they'll go, oh, Brian was making excuses for the cocaine on his face the other day. It's all going to seem like an excuse. Yeah. Just know, just know this. I was talking to
Starting point is 00:35:58 my friend, Rafa, about this. When Raphael had children, he had them young. He had them, yeah, his wife was 18, 19 years old when they had their first child. And Rapha was, I think we were probably, I want to say 25, 26 years old. So he was probably 25, 26 years old when he had his first child. He didn't miss a beat. He continued to do exactly what he was doing previous to that. He partied right through. But awesome father, don't get me wrong, but he found a way to fit it all in. Yeah. At my age, at my advanced age, there is no fucking way.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I don't even drink anymore because I can't. Astrid went out the other night, and she's much younger than I am. But she goes, and we're not huge drinkers, but she goes out the other night or the other afternoon with some friends and she has one glass of wine with her friends, one glass of red wine at this lunch that they went to. And then she's supposed to go to a concert later on that night. Well, she looks at me about an hour after she got home from the lunch, she goes, I'm fucking hungover. And I go, I know, see,
Starting point is 00:37:04 that's what happens. You know, first of all, never drink red wine in the afternoon. Just a bad idea. Yeah, day drinking red wine. Day drinking red wine, no, no, no, no. That's strictly for night before you go to bed. But second of all, that's what fucking happens. So, and now every time I drink an alcoholic drink, you know, glass of champagne, a beer, a couple of gin and tonics, whatever it is, I always get this like mild, irritating hangover and I could never be with my children in that state of mind because I know that I would just
Starting point is 00:37:33 lash out. Right? Right? And so there's, if I can't even drink a fucking beer with all these kids, there's no way that I could be doing cocaine. Zero, zero chances that that's ever going to happen again. Yeah. And I was telling Rafa, I said, listen, I saw this video and I showed it to Chrissy and Tina about the people in Eastern Europe, we'll call them travelers, who were having this big party and they were sniffing these older ladies, much older ladies, like 70s, 80s, maybe 90s, were doing huge rails. I mean, they were getting that shit. They're doing huge rails and then cut scene. And then next, they're all dancing out on the party on the dance floor, having a party. This is the way
Starting point is 00:38:16 you fucking do it. You have nothing left to lose. This is the time when you enjoy. No, I'm saying start up when you get older. Now Now, by the time my last kid leaves the house, I'll be 97 and I don't think that anyone's gonna advise 97 year olds to do cocaine, but who fucking cares at that point, right? I've lived a good life, what else do I gotta go for? I mean, unless they find a way to make me look like this at 97, I'm gonna be like, ah, whatever, it's all good.
Starting point is 00:38:41 So I might get back to it later on in life. But there's a moratorium on it right now whatever, it's all good. So I might get back to it later on in life. Yeah, I've got a pin in it. There's a moratorium on it right now, and for good reason. Brian is not Raphael. I cannot handle it. I'm not saying Raphael did cocaine. I'm just saying that Raphael continued
Starting point is 00:38:56 to be a young adult, right? He continued to go to parties and hang out, and he would bring the kids and they would have fun. I just don't, I don't see that happening for me. I don't get invited to parties anymore. I just don't. I just don't. Well, I never got invited to party parties in the first place, but I managed to, you know, glom on to somebody else and get to the party. I was always the plus one, never the invited, always the guy who just showed up at the front door. But, you know, I'd bring like a six pack of Budweiser
Starting point is 00:39:27 or something. Yeah, but that I'd fully intend to drink myself. Because no one likes Budweiser. People would be like, oh great, you brought some, what is that, Bud Light? Oh yeah, all right, well, there's a cooler outside with no ice in it if you want to throw that in there. There's some cobwebs, you know that old cooler
Starting point is 00:39:44 everybody keeps in their backyard? Yeah, that one. Yeah, use that one. The dirty one from like a camping trip three years ago. Yeah, probably still has a beer in it. Floating in old water. Yeah. And my friend goes, hey, listen, I don't have any room for that in the fridge or the coolers, but I don't want to use any of our good ice in for that shitty beer, but I'll tell you what, there's a hose out back and I know
Starting point is 00:40:10 it's August 22nd, but if you can manage to get some cool water out of there, feel free to cool down your beers. I want to talk about hangovers in just a second, actually. So let's take a short break and then we'll be back to make your Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon even more miserable than it probably is. Because there's probably half these people out there have been out drinking on Wednesday night and now they're like, oh good, the commercial break will give me a little laugh. And then I go and talk about the hangover the whole day and they're like, fuck you. All right, we'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio, video, and TC video. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break
Starting point is 00:40:57 and on TikTok at TCB podcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB phone number you will ever have to remember! So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3TCB. Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB. Oh and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash the commercial break. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show.
Starting point is 00:41:30 All right. So more and more young adults are choosing not to drink. Yes. Right. It's a phenomenon that's happening. I see more and more Instagram posts about this. I see more and more, because they probably, you know, Instagram just heard that I was doing cocaine in the middle of the afternoon, so now they're just pointing those ads in my direction. But I see more and more Instagram posts about this. I see
Starting point is 00:42:01 ads with people giving classes, coaching classes. It's a trend. There's one guy that I, let me shout him out. I think his name is Scott Frieda or Scott Fried or something like that. He's on Instagram and he is a recovering alcoholic and he, the most serious kind of recovering alcoholic. He was like a well-to-do human being. He got married to the love of his life. They had a yacht, they had this whole nine yards. And then she died of cirrhosis of the liver. And he had very serious cirrhosis of the liver and he backed himself out of it by sticking to this really strict diet now he shares with other people. And I actually followed him because I thought he was kind of funny. And now I see that he's giving all this advice and I'm like, oh, that's great. Anyway, so this
Starting point is 00:42:44 is a big trend and the alcohol industry has seen this trend also and is making them very nervous because there are many young people who are choosing not to drink alcohol because there are a lot of other alternatives right now. There's marijuana is legal in a lot of states. There's other things that you can do. And I also saw a Instagram reel from a eight o'clock in the morning rave on the top of a New York skyscraper that was completely sober. It was called a pre-work rave and they were having fucking fun. I think I read about that too. Did you read about this?
Starting point is 00:43:22 Yeah, and it does sound like fun. Listen, everyone's dancing. Some people are dressed in costumes. The same thing you would see at a rave. It was just going on at eight o'clock in the morning. The sun was coming up, they're at the top of a building overlooking New York. It looked really cool actually.
Starting point is 00:43:34 And I can understand why, because drinking is fun. It's so much fucking fun. Chrissy and I wouldn't be friends today if it wasn't for alcohol. It was the thing that started our bond and then has outlived our bond, not outlived our bond, but we've outlived the alcohol. But the truth is, alcohol is just poison for your body. And I loved getting drunk. So I'm not here to throw stones in glass houses or preach. I loved getting drunk, so I'm not here to throw stones in glass houses or preach. But I was reading this article and it really made me think.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Scientists have figured out why you do the walk of shame, why you feel so fucking terrible after a long night of drinking. And I'm not talking about the physical side effects because that shit is miserable. Headache, thick mouth, eyes bulging, every joint aching, sick stomach, the whole night, everything hurts. Aversion to sunlight. Aversion to anything, wind. Loud noises.
Starting point is 00:44:38 I know it, I know you in the TCB audience have been there. You're so hung over that even laying in your bed hurts. It all hurts. It's like you cannot get comfortable. Maybe a hot shower does the trick, but that's a big maybe, right? But I'm not talking about those physical consequences of drinking. I'm talking about the emotional and mental consequences of drinking, where you wake up and you go, did I really, did I really stick my dick in somebody's Bud Light bottle last night and think it was funny?
Starting point is 00:45:11 Did I really do that? You know what I'm saying? Or did I really make out with that dude? Did I really make out with that girl? But maybe you didn't even do something super embarrassing. You're just stressed about it. You're anxious and paranoid about what the fuck happened last night.
Starting point is 00:45:24 What kind of embarrassing shenanigans did I get into? Or does everybody hate me now? There's a reason, a scientific reason why you feel that way. When you start drinking, your body naturally produces something having to do with a gab of something, right? And it makes your inhibitions lower, your anxieties go down, because that's what alcohol does to your body,
Starting point is 00:45:49 because it does to your brain, right? So you're now firing off all these, let's call them GABA peptoids, even though that's not the word, I just made it up. And I like making up things here on the commercial break. So these GABA peptoids are running all over your body when you start drinking. And then when you stop drinking, they suck in, right?
Starting point is 00:46:07 It's like they go the opposite direction. So your blood alcohol level's going up, everything's going great, your blood alcohol level's going down after being so high, then your body just naturally just kind of doesn't have the jizzy jazz that it did before. That causes anxiety. And that anxiety leads to this paranoia that you feel when you're hungover or after a long night of drinking. And if you drink more, this happens more frequently. And even one or two nights of just, you know, having a couple of beers or whatever can cause
Starting point is 00:46:37 this kind of anxiety inducing reaction, a physical reaction from alcohol. And so, it's just another reason for me not to drink because I am anxious enough as it is. Look at how I freaked out over the fact that I couldn't make my bed anymore. You think I'm the kind of guy who needs more anxiety? No, I don't. I have a treaty. I have 35 things in this book that I wish people would stop doing or start doing and none of them are serious. I mean, none of them, none of them could even be close to be considered something that would ever happen because people are like, are you kidding me? We got a Ukraine and Israel and the Gaza strip and you're worried about people walking on the right side of the goddamn walkway. I'm telling you right now, Chrissy, I don't need another reason to not ever until I turn
Starting point is 00:47:31 92, pick up a drink again. There you go. It's making me anxious just thinking about how much anxiety it's going to cause me. You're making me want to have a drink. Oh, well. You're so worked up. Chrissy's anxious now. I need a calming glass of wine.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Yeah, she needs a calming glass of wine. Get that in there. But for you, it's a little bit, not a little bit, it's a lot different. And here's, here, let me explain why. It's because you, not that, not, you know, life is all about perspective. I'm not saying your life is easier than mine or harder than mine, but you, there's no fear that in the middle of the night, somebody fell out of a crib and has to go to the hospital.
Starting point is 00:48:10 It's a totally different. Or that you know at 6.30 in the morning, little ones are gonna come knocking on your head, right? Or that you have to make breakfast or take them to school or all that other stuff. Or that American Express is gonna be calling you any moment now. Like you don't have any of those same anxieties that I do.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And so I feel like when I do drink, when I do imbibe, I really do get like extra anxious in the morning. I'm like, oh, fuck motherfucker. Like when I go to those- Your body's not used to it too. And so yeah. When I go to those podcast conferences, I always wake up, you know, and I have a couple drinks, I always wake up a mess.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I'm like, ah, ah, ah. What did I do know, and I have a couple drinks. I always wake up a mess. I'm like Yeah, I'm not a doctor you're not a nurse no one's gonna die here just fucking podcasting who gives a goddamn shit Do you get hungover anymore Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean on a rare occasion because I don't do the amount of drinking I used to anymore. But yeah, you know, you're at a party, you get a little carried away, somebody's pulling out the tequila. Oh, when's the last time you did the tequila shot? Well, yesterday.
Starting point is 00:49:16 No, but there's all these good tequilas now. So more and more people are, if they do drink, they are drinking tequila and just like, you know, with this seltzer. What are you drinking that? Maui, Waui, Paui shit? What is that stuff that Sammy Hagar has? What is that thing he does out of Cabo? Cabo Wabo? You drinking that Cabo Wabo? No, we were doing the Casamigos, the George Clooney. Oh, George Clooney's in on it now. Oh yeah, he's been on, they sold their company
Starting point is 00:49:50 for like a billion dollars. What is that? I have no fucking clue what that is. Oh, it's my watch. My daughter likes me when I put on the Mickey Mouse watch face, cause it goes like this. It's two, 52. She'll tap that thing seventy times in a second.
Starting point is 00:50:08 So wait, Clooney sold his liquor company for a billion dollars? Yeah. Fuck that guy. Come on this show, George. Come on this show. I want to talk to you about that. He's got that house in Italy, Lake Cuomo, right? And now he's selling for a billion dollars.
Starting point is 00:50:23 He just sold the liquor brand for a billion dollars. What can't that guy do? He can. He can do no wrong. He can do no wrong. It's like one of the, my, you know, great actor, he's always good in whatever he's in. You know, he's a handsome, handsome man. So much more handsome than I am. Why him? Why not me? Can God give me a little bit of what He's got? You know what I'm saying? Little dusting. If there's a pile of good looking balls that they give you when you're heading down into this body, couldn't they just push a few extra, take a few away from him? He'd still be a very handsome man
Starting point is 00:50:55 if he was like 20% less handsome, but it would make a world of difference to me. Or give me some of his talent, like acting or, you know, business, anything. Counting money. I'd love, I'd love it. I just love it. So you're drinking that Cabo, you know, bim-bim-bang-matavi, whatever he's got. What is the name of his? Beth Dombkowski Casamigos. Casamigos. What an original name. Casamigos. House of our friends? Friends house? I guess so. Casamigos. Okay. So he's got that Casamigos. So you guys are drinking a little Casamigos.
Starting point is 00:51:25 How many shots do you take in a night? I don't do shots anymore. No? No. It's just a bad idea. It's a totally bad idea. All the way around. It's always been a bad idea. Yeah, it's always been a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:51:35 It's just a way for the bars to sell you a $6 drink really quickly. Yeah. But it never works out well. No, and you don't need to ingest that much alcohol at one time. I don't even think when you and I were drinking, we did shots all that often. Oh, I, oh, contrary.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I mean, we did do shots, but. Well, what about the Braves games and a certain manager that we had that would always. Yeager might say, ah, Yeager bomb, but not Yeager bomb, just Yeager. He would say it incorrectly, but yeah. Oh, God damn. I can't even get around Jaeger at this point. I can't smell that licorice smell anymore, but I had a friend. And remember when I told you about the guy with the pool and they had jam land?
Starting point is 00:52:19 Like they made a whole little land for me across the pool from where everybody else socialized. They would put me over there in the corner and they called it Jam Land, right? That guy had a Jaeger machine outside near his pool and he'd have the three bottles sticking there and it'd keep it ice cold. I can't think of how many hundreds of shots
Starting point is 00:52:40 we must have taken from that Jaeger machine. Hundreds of shots. It'd be 99 fucking degrees. That pool would be sweltering also. And we'd be out there doing fucking Jaeger. Ugh, ugh. It was like at noon. We'd all collect at noon.
Starting point is 00:52:55 And then by four o'clock, everyone's ripped roaring, just walking away, getting into their cars, heading down the highway. I mean, what a terrible, terrible thing to do. So you don't do shots. So what do you put the, you just sip it? You sip the tequila? Yeah, sip it. Yeah. Interesting. That's what I used to do back in, when I was in Chopper Johnson. I put that bottle of Jose Cuervo gold, you know, that fine tequila. I'd put it in the freezer of that girl, let me stay at her
Starting point is 00:53:21 house. And then in the middle of the night, I just go, and it was like syrup, because once it gets cold, it turns like syrupy. And so, I do that. But, you know, I could handle it back then. My body had the ability to understand, Brian, you've not gone too far yet. Take it one step further. I had this like body, you know, this something was monitoring from inside, little did I know. And man, I'll tell you what, shot after shot after shot of tequila, I just sip it. I say sip it, I take a gulp or two, you know, a lot of it. Yeah, and I will pour it in a glass and have like a big ice cube, you know, and yeah, you just do at a loss. What are you guys doing over there? Oh, you know, we're getting naked. I know you're naked, you're cooking,
Starting point is 00:54:09 you're wearing tutus around the house. Jeff's got his whole business over there. He's working, you're dusting, you know, naked. Oh, he's got the music business. That's like what you do. Yeah, true. True. You guys weren't like throwing old TVs out the window and shit? Setting things on fire?
Starting point is 00:54:31 No? Not having sex with sharks or whatever? No. Let's have one day. I just have this image of the Jeff's like working on his computer at a desk and you just like come in topless and just like lean over him to dust something. And slightly just brush your boob over his face.
Starting point is 00:54:47 And he's like, game on! Get the Clooney Cuervo, we're going crazy! Get the Clooney Cuervo, it's Wednesday night, tell Brian you won't be in till next Thursday! Woo!

Starting point is 00:55:25 Like a pussy cam? Yeah, closed circuit TV. Remember you used to say that closed circuit TV? Whatever that meant. Yeah. It probably had something to do with the closed circuit. But I don't know. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Well, it was only available in that place or something. I don't know. Yeah, well, it means it didn't go out to the outside world. Now there's nothing that doesn't go out to the outside world. There's no thing. I don't trust any electronic. It's all going out to the outside world. We'll get into this another episode.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Did you hear the cars are now, the GMC cars are now tracking how people drive. And some people are not able to get insurance because they do too many hard stops or fast pushes on the pedal.
