Alright, man, WFUQ, U307 on the man's clock here in the man's studio, FUQU. I hate to interrupt that incredible 75 minute fire on the mound by Grapeford Dead 1973. We were just getting in the second half of the third part of the song. I hate that, but I got a message from our station owner and manager Jim Draingle. He's listening to the showman, he loves it, he loves the dead, he's outside of the studio with a small crowd, not entirely sure what's going on, but he's got a message for us, he'd like to go live. Alright Jim, plugging it down to you brother, take it away. I can do anything! Oh, razor hands if you understand! Take a full opening, people got it alive! Bullshit!

Classic soldiers in the miniature dirt war! Come on! How many of you people are alive? How many of you people are alive? How many of you people are in your life? How many of you people are in your real life? All right, Jim, indeed. That doesn't make you see trails.

I don't know what will. All right, FUQU, we'll be back after this. Come for your brain. Come for your brain. But we'll all right, if you cue you, we'll be back after this. Commercial break, commercial break, commercial break, commercial break. On this episode of the commercial break. And third of all, I thought it was timely because there's a lot of talk about the podcast universe going on as we speak, mostly about the commercial break. But then there's this other smaller podcast. But there's this other smaller podcast that people may not be familiar with, but you know,

we'll give them a little shout out here. It's Joe Rogan experience no one's heard of that no he does it out of his basement he has Elon musk on but we talk about black market parts what is that you never had a barbecue sauce by craft no I could Fox brothers all the way you go Fox brothers it's a it's um Kansas City craft bar maybe maybe it's a craft. I don't know, but it's a ketchup basically with sugar and some spices. Yeah, I'm not a big ketchup.

I'll get the delicious. You're not a ketchup fan? Not at all. You don't like ketchup at all? No, I mean, it's okay. I don't put it on anything, though. I don't even know. I'm not noticing about you.

Who's gonna replace Vanna? Who's gonna replace Pat? the mean bastard that he is? They can be replaced. They can't. No one's quite an asshole like Pat is. No one comes across as more condescending than Pat Sagec. You gotta find a real condescending asshole. The Pat Sagec, Mickey Mouse will get Steve Vanna

to replace Pat Sagec. I mean, Pat Sage act is an asshole. Do you like it that sense? Yeah. I've never liked that guy. Yeah. Not never. No.

The next episode of the commercial break starts now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, commercial break, the only commercial break you ever need. And remember when you leave those podcasts reviews, it's all commercial break. Just checking in with you. But apparently it's working because lots of people are leaving reviews and they're all seemed to be very wonderful. We don't seem to have too many. I appreciate that. Oh, a thing peppered in here or there.

And it depends on which podcast publisher you go to because there are lots of podcasts publishers like Cast Box and Podbean and overcast and all this. And there are certainly, we certainly have our detractors. We're not everybody's cup of tea, so to speak. We don't float every week. We appreciate all of the feedback. Sure, yeah, why not?

I mean, go fuck yourself if you don't like the show. But I get it, it's not for everybody. And that's to be said. But I wake up on Saturday, and as I do, religiously checking our statistics and our charts. Because that's what we got to hang on to here at the pod Do you know what I'm saying? I do. I'm sure that you know, um, I don't even know I don't even know who who's on television anymore, but Jimmy Kimmel I'm sure that it's important to him to check the ratings from the night before. Yeah, see how he's doing

Yeah, he's doing see if people are tuning in See if it was interesting or it's not interesting. And for us, the Apple podcast charts and chartable charts are really the only thing in Spotify charts. But are really the only things that we have to go by. Yeah. And so the chartable charts are an overall view of the podcast universe, right? It's agnostic.

It's not about one specific publisher. It's about all of them together. We've always been doing pretty well on the Charitable charts, I think. Yes. But the Apple podcast charts are a little bit different because Apple has a lion's share of the podcast listening market.

I can see that, that's where I listen to mine. Yeah, and they started podcasts. And cast box. Yeah, cast box. Cast box is lovely too. Yes, we have a large cast box audience. For a lot of different reasons, we do a lot of work with them. But discoverability has always been an issue.

Getting your podcast discovered is a hard thing to do, which is why there are tens of thousands of podcasts, and you probably only know about a few of them, or listen to a few of them, because it's an overwhelming deluge. Yeah, there's a ton. Ton. Tens of thousands of active shows.

But since Apple has a lion's share of the market. It's there kind of the ear mark like are you doing well on the Apple charts? So to speak right and we weren't and we'd show up here there We'd like pop on at number one. Oh, and we're in the improv comedy That's our categories improv comedy. Yeah, we pop on a number one out. They only tracked the top 250. 101, we'd be at 157. And then for a couple of months there, we were in the 50s or 60s, which was really nice. And I couldn't figure why it was ebbing and flowing

and Apple has this complicated way of doing their mathematics. As they do. As they do, right? And it's a big fucking secret for what reason I don't know. Share with us. Tell us what they, they didn't want us to game the system. And it's really hard to game the Apple system. So on Saturday I wake up and we are number 17

on the Apple improv comedy charts. Thank you out there to all of you listeners who are listening and leaving reviews because I guess that's what they're based on. I don't know who would Apple is fired like we were talking about last week, but this is clearly a mistake. There's a lever that's broken somewhere.

Yeah, I know, no. We're just flowing through like a fire hydrant now. There are so many great comedy podcasts in this top 20, all of which are extremely talented podcasters, basement yard and obituary and from the magic tavern. And I mean, I could go on and on spit-ballers comedy. They're all great. I've listened to all of them and they're they're wonderful and clearly we're the better podcast getting the recognition that we so rightfully

clear sir I just our litter box talk is a litter box office people can't get enough of it parts of the air just a tasty teen I mean that's the kind of podcast that's wholesome for the whole family. Yeah, I can understand why we're flying up there. You should just put it on your sonos and bust it through the whole house. You know, as what Matias does, I keep thinking that this must be a joke. Like there's somebody out there.

Like there's some Reddit charts somewhere that's like, what's the worst, they've brought comedy podcasts out there. The commercial break and there's a link to Apple and they keep listening There's some Reddit charts somewhere that's like, what's the worst improv comedy podcast out there? The commercial break and there's a link to Apple and they keep listening because we're not funny. I can't imagine how we've gotten in this upper echelon of improv comedy podcasts, but thank you very much.

I'll take it and you know, Apple's just one of those things you when you're on their charts for us as podcasters. It's a level of, you feel good about yourself. Yes, exactly. Like a ball for ten feet tall. Validation. Tits up.

Tits up, pass out. Pass out. You're going to the show. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. We're best in show. We're almost best in show. We only have about a couple more million listeners

that we need. We'll be number one. You're Miss Congeniality. I'm a Mr. Fucking Moron. As we've been told by a couple of our podcasts, reviews too. And the reason why I wanted to get into the podcast universe, you know, I'd first of all like to share with people what's going on in the overall view because there, the you, the listener are a part of the success of the show and we want you to know first of all, we're great. Well, second of all, it's exciting. And we want you to know first of all, we're great.

Well, second of all, it's exciting. And I figure we pull back the curtain and let people know what's going on. Yeah. And third of all, I thought it was timely because there's a lot of talk about the podcast universe going on as we speak, mostly about the commercial break. But then there's this other smaller podcast.

But there's this other smaller podcast that people may not be familiar with, but you know, we'll give them a little shout out here. It's Joe Rogan experience. No one's heard of that. No, he does it out of his basement. He has Elon Musk on, but we talk about black market farts. Just the tasty dinner. That's all you need. You have to have your head directly sewn in your asshole right now, not to have heard about Joe Rogan. Yes. The Joe Rogan controversy on Spotify. Joe Rogan has been controversial since Spotify signed him.

That's true. There's nothing new on to the sun. People have disliked this decision from the beginning and Spotify has made a smart business move by bringing Joe over. I've already argued this on the podcast that Joe could have made a lot more money, not on Spotify, but he may not want to deal with it. He doesn't want to deal with bad sales and all this other stuff. So for those of you who don't know, if you happen to not know, Neil Young and a couple of other artists, Joni Mitchell. Joni Mitchell? Yeah. Niles Lawvrnerin, the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen. Okay. Okay. And I think in a musician

in his own right, what he's done, I don't know. He's yeah, mainly to me. He's the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen. They decide to pull, they are so upset at some of the what they they are describing as misinformation. The day about COVID. About COVID, that they gave Spotify and ultimatum. They said, hey, listen, if you don't, it's either Rogan or it's me. It's what Neil said. Neil was the first one. It's Rogan or me. You can't have both. And so if you don't pull Rogan off the air, I'm going to pull my catalog out. Yeah, and then he did it. And then he did it. Now, you know, I think we can have a lively debate here without ruffling a lot of feathers, right? Because we're not a political commentating podcast. And I think that's probably why we're up on the charts. Because if we were doing anything, anything meaningful. No, we don't,

yeah. I don't know. In my, that's the reason for the name, the commercial break. That's right. And quite frankly, it makes me feel good to spend two or three hours a week not having to think about any of the, the deluge that comes from turning on any television news station or radio station or anything like that. But I feel because this is in our arena because we are now podcasts experts on the top of the charts. Just blazing across the podcast universe as a bright star. And because we will soon get a similar contract from Spotify, I figured it was important to note the ground rules. Don't you feel? I agree. So Neil says, it's you or

it's me. He pulls his music because obviously it's not Neil. Neil's not even the most. I Mike Pesca, who has the gist, the podcast, the gist, great podcast. Go check it out. Very centrist, you know, non-extreme, you know, listens to all sides of a point of view before making a decision. Yeah, and Mike's a good guy, and no, and personally, he pointed out that Neil Young is not even the most popular Neil on Spotify, right?

I mean, there's Neil Diamond, and he's not, nor is he the most popular Young on Spotify, Young MC, and all these other guys. So he doesn't have the kind of weight to demand that Spotify pull Joe Rogan, like if it's a business decision, it's Joe Rogan all day long. And by the way, Neil has all the right in the world

to take his music wherever he wants. He's taking a stand. But I applaud that. I do. Yeah. Listen, you know, you can speak with your feet or speak with your pocketbook or speak with your farts like Brian does.

You can sell him wherever you want to. Yeah. I like friend to friend, and we haven't spoken a lot about this, but friend to friend, I believe, I feel like Joe is an entertainer. He's not a medical scientist. He's not a doctor.

We shouldn't be taking our advice, our COVID advice from Joe Rogan. That'd be like taking our, you know, I don't know. That'd be like getting advice from our podcast. Podcast advice from carotoppers. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just, you shouldn't do that because that's now who Joe is and Joe will tell you. He's an idiot. He doesn't know anything. Please don't listen to me right off the bat I don't agree with some of the things that are being talked about on his show and for a long time I haven't but I still

Believe that there needs to be a place for this kind of discourse that if we shut down Alternative ideas then we put ourselves in a dangerous position of down alternative ideas, then we put ourselves in the dangerous position of having someone with an opinion, always sense or somebody else who has another opinion. That's true. Yeah. And so I think I feel like it's a dangerous place for us to go.

Now, Neil has the right to do whatever he wants to do. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying Neil doesn't have the right to speak, of course he does. Yeah. That's good and good for you. And to some degree, I may agree with the sentiment, but I, what I'm getting nervous about with the quote unquote cancel culture is that it always comes, it's a full circle. It's going to come back and bite everybody in the ass. Yeah. Because if we're

allowing one or two or seven loud voices to determine what happens and how we form our discourse, then we're going to start being a country that that is really afraid to talk about anything. to determine what happens and how we form our discourse, then we're gonna start being a country that is really afraid to talk about anything, for any reason. That's true, I agree. And I like the thought, I stand by the thought, that an idea that's too dangerous to talk about

is dangerous in and of itself. Like, we, just because you don't agree with someone's ideas doesn't mean that they should never be able to make a dollar again or they should never be able to speak in public again or they shouldn't be able to be on this platform or be on that platform. Yeah, I mean, it's a spectrum, in my opinion. I agree.

There's some people that are just so extreme and saying things that are blatantly false that other people are listening to and taking it as the truth. So that's dangerous too, but yes, I agree with it. You're saying that there shouldn't be so much censorship about in everything, anything, or you're nervous to talk about anything.

I feel like we've all gotten so sensitive to our own viewpoints, and we're also encased in our opinions that it's like what's happening is it are you literally getting hurt by somebody else's opinion are you literally getting that upset that your world's imploding because someone else had a different opinion I don't know what these these doctors said on Joe Rogan experience I have no idea and I'm not defending it, but it's just someone

else's opinion and they are medical doctors. So they're just sharing their opinion and there's Joe is allowing that to happen on his show. What makes me concerned is that, you know, well, I think he put out something today too that said what he would like to do is have more, you know, different opinions from one expert feeling one way, another expert feels another way. Good for Joe.

Yeah, and having more of a varied, balanced size. A well-rounded conversation rather than always having these, you know, doctors. And Joe, in his statement today, points out that eight months ago, if you told somebody that a cloth mask was dangerous to your health, it's possible that you could have gotten blocked on social media. But today, it's accepted that cloth masks don't work, right? If you would have said eight months ago, you know,

you can take the vaccine, but it may not prevent you from getting COVID, it's just going to prevent you from getting really sick in COVID. That was not an idea that was accepted. That you were considered anti-vax, but things evolve. Like conversations happen, scientific communities evolve their opinions based on research. And so, I, and the reason why that happens is

because there's discourse that goes on inside of those communities. They agree, they disagree, they debate, they go back and forth, they look at the numbers, they say it. Yeah, new things are coming out every day about how this works. And so I don't wanna be a bummer They agree, they disagree, they debate, they go back and forth, they look at the numbers, they say it. Yeah, and new things are coming out every day about how this works. And so I don't want to be a bummer because I know this show is usually like goofy and ridiculous,

quite frankly, and no one's coming to me for their opinion. But I just thought I, because it's in our space, I just wanted to share a little bit my personal thoughts on this because everybody's been waiting for my personal thoughts on this. Bated, right? Everybody, yeah, everyone's going, whatever, Brian's going waiting for my personal thoughts on this. Bated, Brian. Everyone's going, whatever, Brian's going to say about the Rogan controversy. I say that Neil has a right to do whatever he wants to do. And Joe Rogan is encouraging discourse and debate about differing ideas. And that, while I may not agree with all of it, I don't wanna see Joe get fired over it.

I think it's kind of ridiculous. And Joe said, listen, I don't have any problem with a content advisory. Like we may share ideas that are not the mainstream medical belief. I don't have any, and I think he's doing the right thing by being contrite and saying, hey, listen, I'm willing to make sure that all ideas get out there

and that it's all represented well. And I'm okay with putting a content advisory, so people understand this may not be accepted medical practice, which I think makes sense inside of a pandemic. Now, I'm not talking, you know, and I think that they're, we can get into these like fine lines of everything, but then like if you're calling for some person because of their race-colored creed skin,

who they love to be murdered, that's like, you know, that's a different animal all together, right? But that's not what's going on here. That's not what Joe is doing. So I think Joe did the right thing by putting out a statement. Spotify says they have some long-standing policy that just magically appeared yesterday about the content advisory for COVID-19. I'll be interested to see if they put a content advisory on this episode because we've been talking about this.

And just to let you know, Chrissy and I are also pulling our full catalog off of Spotify. See, there are us or it's Joe's Spotify. You make the call. You have a hard decision in front of you. I just see the board of directors listening to our episodes. Well, it's either Rogan with his 11 million listeners

in episode or it's Black Market Farts. Call Brian, let him know. He's on. We've made our decision. We've picked our pony and we're gonna ride it. We're going to take, we're going, we're going, we're going for the DD canter all the way. Live from your shitty little studio in North of Atlanta.

Your 42 listeners on Spotify have spoken loudly. You covered. I was not going to be afraid about this over the weekend. And I was like, what if we just will pull our catalog from like Google or something, you I thought it was interesting and I thought I would point out that Neil, who I'm a huge fan of, by the way, loves music. He's a huge fan of Neil Young's music. Has not always had the most, as mainstream of ideas either. He's a huge fan of Neil Young's music. He's a huge fan of Neil Young's music, has not always had the most,

as mainstream of ideas either. So I mean, it's, you know, they're cut from the same cloth with a different stitch if you know what I'm saying. So, you know, I just thought I'd share that, that, that, thank you. Thank you. So, we'll figure out later if I cut that part out.

And I don't even know if the sexual health or it's just covering his tracks. Did you hear about Drake and his condom? I saw a blurb about a hot sauce condom or something. I don't know what it would, what it would,

what it would, what it would, how that happened. Let me see here. Okay. You ready? Yeah. Wanna hear it? Yes. Instagram model accuses Drake of putting hot sauce

inside of a condom. An Instagram model is accusing Drake of getting a little too spicy during a recent time. He's writing this shit national inclier. Yeah. So stupid. And by the way, how did you get this story? Like this girl sold you this story, obviously.

She could have said it anything. It's like I got to get to the press about this. But you know, Drake has not denied this. Okay. And maybe it's good that he hasn't denied this. Maybe he feels like the more scared these women are of this. What is the story? Okay. During a recent romantic encounter,

which allegedly took place at the rapper's hotel a few weeks ago, the model claims that the self proclaimed certified the love of a boy born Aubrey Drake Graham. I don't know his name was Aubrey. Added a packet of hot sauce into the used condom after sex in order to kill his sperm after they had multiple encounters.

Wow. After he disposed of his condom, she took it out of the trash and attempted to impregnate herself inside of the bathroom. Well, that's why he did it. Yeah, of course. You dumb dumb.

You couldn't get someone pregnant so you sold your story to the national inquire. This is insane. I'm going to start doing this. I don't know why I was doing this. No. You're not going to get out of me, you asked for it. I got to basco in my balls.

The woman revealed the accusations to the much, too much hot tea blog. Sounds like a legitimate news organization. There are so much hot tea. Saying after she screamed due to the burning sensation, champagne poppy, as he's known on Instagram, champagne poppy. Couldn't get Drake. champagne poppy. Ran into the bathroom and allegedly admitted to pouring the hot sauce of the condom and he's like, I'm so sorry, I put a hot sauce in there. Meanwhile, is he carrying around a bottle of like, you know, like Texas peep or something?

I think it's a packet. Oh, a packet. The condom. You know, you can get him a chick filet. That's exactly what I do. Taco Bell. I do Taco Bell fire sauce. Me personally.

Yeah. I do. I do. is a hot sauce packet. You can get them a chick flay. That's exactly. I do Taco Bell. I do Taco Bell fire sauce, me personally. Yeah. Yeah. Cause that, it's a little extra, if you're looking for, when you're, when you're jizzin.

Though it's an unusual way to try and prevent pregnancy. The Canadian, the Canadian crooner has previously complained about having to go above and beyond and sure women won't collect his sperm. Gold medalist, as he's also known, how many names is this guy? She had a painkoppy gold medalist, Aubrey Drake Graham certified lover boy, flushed magnums just so they wouldn't collect the specimens. He wrapped on one song. I'm gonna do what you gotta do. She got to do her stuff. Same painkoppy love me. Yeah, gonna do it. She got it. She got it. She got it. She got it. She got it. She got it.

You can have 15 minutes of fame. I'll take the other 23 hours and 45 minutes he captioned on the post. His Drake took to Instagram and seemingly addressed the rumors as he posted two brooding pictures of himself. I can only imagine what those look like. His friends and followers were quick to joke about the situation, one calling him, Chaloo the Poppy, Chaloo the Poppy, and then he outputs it on himself.

After the God's plan, Jesus, Jones, dude, after God's plan, it's another series of photos on Friday. God's plan. I guess that's what God's plan. What, where did that come from? I don't know. It's a girl's answer.

A lot. We can handle it. Yeah. What do we call me? Michael Bryan. Yeah, hot sauce. I'm the honey mustard poppy. That's what they call me.

I'm old. We don't need hot sauce. I just do this to be the little barbecue sauce. That's it. Put some, what is that little barbecue sauce. That's it. Put some, what is that craft barbecue sauce? That incredibly disgusting barbecue sauce that everyone loves so much. What is that?

You never had a barbecue sauce by craft? No. Even at crafts barbecue sauce. No, I go Fox Brothers all the way. You go Fox Brothers. It's Kansas City craft barb, maybe it's a craft. I don't know, but it's like ketchup, basically with sugar and some spices. Yeah, I'm not a big ketchupb, maybe it's a craft. I don't know, but it's like catch up basically with sugar and some spices.

Yeah, I'm not a big ketchup. Fucking delicious. You know, I catch up, fam? And at all, you don't like catch up at all. No, I mean, I, it's okay. I don't put it on anything though. I don't even know. I've noticed about you.

This is a new thing I'm learning about Chrissy here. After many years of friendship, how do you not like ketchup? How is that even possible? It's not that I don't like it. It's like, it's too sweet or something. I don't know, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know hot dog. I'll do it on a hot dog.

What about french fries? No, salt. That's it? You don't put anything to juice that down, to slide those things down. Crispy fries with some salt. Doesn't that get dry, doesn't that dry to you? Like the french fries get dry?

No. You don't have any lube on there. No mayonnaise, no mustard. No barbecue sauce. No honey mustard. I'm not a dipper. Ranch. You're not a dipper. I do like ranch. You do like ranch. So you'd go french fries and ranch. No we go french fries and ranch. Cool ranch Doritos with ranch. Very good. Cool ranch Doritos with ranch. Yes. Debt and ranch. How much ranch can you have? You want to hear a story about ranch? I don't know how we got here, but I'll tell you this story.

So my mom, my mom is, you know, we'll talk about it here on the podcast. My mom is suffers from mental illness. She has for my entire life. It's just one of those things. So a number of years ago, we decided that my mom may need a little extra help around the house, right? Just to make sure that she was okay. And also that she was an environment where she could be social.

She's not like crazy. She's not standing on the side of a road with a sign or anything. She's a perfectly lovely human being. She suffers with some depression and some other stuff. So we decided, hey, mom, you need to be in a social environment. You're getting a little up there in a social environment where everyone can, you can,

every day you have an interaction and people can help you cook and clean and stuff like that. Stuff that might get harder to do even, when you're normally just getting old, right? Like me, I need help, I need cleaning. Yeah. So, we make this decision and we have to go clean out this apartment

that she's been living in for almost 10 years. She's been living in this apartment. So my twin brother and I decided we're gonna go clean out this apartment that she's been living in for almost 10 years. She's been living this apartment So my twin brother and I decide we're gonna go clean the apartment one day We know it's kind of a mess in there and anytime you've been living somewhere for 10 years Sure, it's you know, you're gonna there's gonna be shit under the couch. There's gonna be stuff around Yes We get in there and at whatever time in the day we get in there and we take a couple of trash bags And we're like hey first things first let's throw away the trash Let's go through and get really

the stuff. Strategy. Yeah, do you just don't need, right? Yeah. And my mom's not there. So we start rummaging through the house. Kevin starts in the kitchen and I start in the bedroom. Within three minutes of being in my mom's closet, I find a bottle of hidden valley ranch. Oh, a bottle of hidden valley ranch in our closet. It was a hidden bottle. It was a hidden bottle. That's the thing. And then Kevin's like, hey man, come here for a second. I'm like, okay, I go, hey dude, I found a bottle of ranch. He's like, dude, I was just about to say,

I've already found three bottles of ranch in this one. She's a ranch girl. Holy. Ranch in the freezer. Ranch on top of the freezer. Ranch down where you keep the cleaning supplies. Ranch in the laundry room. Ranch under the freezer, ranch on top of the freezer, ranch down where you keep the cleaning supplies, ranch in the laundry room, ranch under the couch.

Prepare it at all times for the ranch apocalypse. The ranch apocalypse? I mean, what is she doing? The ranch attack. We had no idea what was going on. There were 50 fucking bottles of ranch, there must have been 50 bottles of ranch. It's good stuff.

And only like four of them were opened, right? It is good stuff, but do you really need 50 bottles of ranch? No, in your closet? What do you do? What did you do? I was weird tonight. Huh, look at this pretty black dress. You know what I should do?

Let me take a shot of ranch. Let me pregame it with some ranch. Pregame ranch. I can see my mom just threw a gun straight out of the bottle. Oh, that's so good. It's like touching a shot of ranch. What are you doing, the laundry room? You poured on your clothes?

Did you ask? Ancient green secret, little ranch on your stains. Did I ask? Of course I asked. My mom was like, I don't know. I don't know where I got all the ranch. I have no idea where I got all the ranch. You didn't find 50 bottles of ranch. And we were like, mom, we found 50 bottles of ranch.

I don't know. I think one time it was on sale. Mom, mom it was on sale that doesn't describe how I got into your closet. What were you doing? Why would you? In case of emergency. Great for ranch. Like I just I just wonder for if forever for now the last five years I've wondered under what circumstances that the ranch get into the closet or into the laundry room. How did that go down? I don't know. I don't have any condiments in my closet, but I have condoms in my closet right next to the hot sauce, but the ranch.

No. I just imagined my mom one day was like watching Judge Judy and she had just gone to the store and there were multiple bottles of ranch and she was like, well, Costco purchase. Yeah. I mean, chicken nuggets one day in the bedroom. Well, I'm changing. I've never put a ranch in there. Quick, quick, quick, get a ranch under the couch.

I have the ranch. Unbelievable. So, so you're a ranch girl. I like ranch. Okay, what do you put ranch on? Well, as I mentioned, the cool ranch to read. Cool ranch, right? Which is insane to me.

I cannot believe you put ranch on ranch, but. Yeah. That's a ranch on ranch attack. That is a double ranch. Don't not get to eat trying it, have you tried it? Yeah, no, I haven't. I don't wait till you try it. Once you go double R.

It's good to double R, you never come home. I like ranch with wings too. Oh, ranch is with wing, but I think blue cheese is a sin with a wing. I would rather have ranch all day long. We're ranch, yeah. How many ranch is the best? Home made ranch, the watery kind of ranch,

the kind that gets all over the wing. Don't give me none of that thick bullshit, that thick frothia, you know, I'm specialty ranch, I don't want specialty ranch. I want regular, drippy, oozy ranch on my hot sauce, on my wings that are also drippy and oozy. Yes. Now I like dry rub on the wings.

You like dry rub? I'm gonna dry rub, can I? I like everything wet. I'm a dipper though. I have everything with sauce. Almost everything has a sauce with it. Yeah, a hot sauce or a barbecue sauce or... Almost nothing with...

She's find it insane that someone would not put ketchup on their front first. I mean, I'm gonna have a drink as I'm drinking, as I'm eating, so I, you know, not remember how your mouth can't get too dry. Well, I know, but potatoes, like, especially french fries, if they are not immediately eaten within seconds of coming out of the fryer, they start to dry up.

That's just the way it is. The way it kind of dissolves or whatever it is. And so the ketchup is there to lube it down as the perfect combination, french fries and ketchup. Oh my God, totally. I have to do some more on with you. Does Jeff know this about you before you guys got married? Is that a ketchup guy either?

It's not a ketchup guy either. You cannot be trusted. This is insane. It's not like we specifically hate ketchup. It's just not something I pull out. But there is a difference between not specifically hating ketchup and not putting it on your french fries. Is to their own.

No, not each to their own. This is an American thing. If you live in the United States, I have to, I venture to say a print. The French do with the mayonnaise. Okay, so at least they're putting something on the french fries. I've tried the mayonnaise before. Yeah.

Pretty good. Yeah, I agree with you. I can, I can, I, I did, I went through a mayonnaise and french fry. Yeah. Yeah, until I saw it on my waist every minute. It will, that's right. Yeah. That's shit.

I think that's maybe why I don't. I'm not a big dipper is because, I mean, I love hot sauce in general, but yeah. Hot sauce, great. But yeah, I mean, everything else just adds the calories, you know. I, mayonnaise I agree with. And I know there's a lot of sugar in ketchup. Yes.

But I just find it nearly impossible to not put something on my french fries and usually that thing is a ketchup. Okay. And I'm just, I'm worried about you and Jeff. I'm worried about the two of you. Concerned about what's going on at that house at home. Don't worry, it's okay.

I'm worried that everything's just so dry. I mean, is there any lube in the house? Is there anything, or is everyone just like, let's just go and dry. Jeff, call me. I have a... in dry. Jeff call me. I have, I have to call you. I was gonna say, he had known this before the wedding would he have gone through with it,

but then he doesn't do it either. So the two human beings born and raised in the United States. And dry fries. Yeah, dry fries. So is there any reason you would put ketchup on anything? Like is there a hot dog? What about a hamburger or cheeseburger? No.

No, you wouldn't. Not like mustard. Just mustard. That's it. I like mustard. You don't put a hamburger or cheeseburger? No. No, you wouldn't. Not like mustard. Just mustard. That's it. I like mustard. You don't put any mayonnaise on there. No barbecue sauce. I love mayonnaise.

Yeah. But yeah, no. I like mayonnaise for different things, catch it for different things, but on the whole, I'm not a French fry dip or a period. I just want everyone to know that there may be a break in the commercial break as we take Chrissy for an assessment of valuation at a condiment therapist. I want to understand what's going on. I don't understand. You know the first time I gave my child a ketchup, then it never stopped. Now it's ketchup with everything. Yeah. And so yesterday when we were driving home for some, let me tell you

something, there were some apple slices on the table, and he also had some french fries. And so I gave him some ketchup for the french fries, and then I caught him dipping the apple slices into the ketchup. It was insane. I was like, son, what are you doing? And he's like, mm, that is, mm. He likes ketchup.

Yeah, I think you can take it too far. You don't need a bottle of ranch in your laundry room. Hi Brian, it's your ranch mom. I'm here in Hidden Valley. My mom's gonna die and go to Hidden Valley. I just read actually a whole story about the Hidden Valley guy that started the ranch. Yeah.

He had a ranch. That way he called it ranch. Hidden Valley. Yeah. He's guy came up with the idea for ranch. He did, yeah, and then he sold it to whatever craft. Yeah, we's guy came up with the idea for ranch. Yeah, and then he sold it to whatever crafter. Yeah, I was just reading about how ranch dressing. It's like a job too that you can have at Hidden Valley Ranch, the company. A ranch taster? A ranch taster. And so you taste the ranch for consistency and stuff like that? Yes. God, that might be a good job. But how long

could you have it? Yeah, I mean, like, you know, a couple of years. Well, so your tea, your tea sales are down, your white sales are up, and you got a shit on a ranch in your dick. You piss and pure ranch. I don't know. I think that, I think even on one of those guys, I'm like one of those OCD eaters, that I'll eat one thing for a period of time. No, we do do that.

Yeah, I do do that. Yes. I'm on Cheerio's Honey Crunch specialty oats cereal. Honey, I choose. No, not honey and Cheerio's. It's a Cheerio's, but then it take, remember the cereal O's? Have you ever had the cereal O's? Yes, that cereal was so good to me.

It tasted so good. It is. This is their version of O's, because I don't know, O's might be made still, but I never see it at the grocery store, but now Cheerio's has their version. That's not the cereal.

And I'm on it. I'm on Ranch, jalapeno pretzel sticks, and Cheerio owes and going to the gym every day. Yeah. I can fight back. That's true story. It makes sense. Yeah. Well, listen, you know, you got your, your way of doing things, not got mine. Anybody wants to co-host a podcast, let me know. I don't know if I can have a non-catch up eater on the podcast, just talk to me about that. So anyway, so Drake puts, you know, he, that's all I send the condom.

But I can kill the sperm. Yeah, but I can understand why Drake would do this. Yeah, I can too. And this lady, and she tried it. She tried it. She tried it. She noticed that it was red. Oh, that's something else in the story.

She tried to impregnate herself by throwing sperm back in her vagina. I mean, first of all, I think she misunderstands the gravity of her. And second of all, obviously this is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. I don't think he's seen her again. No, probably not. He may not even know who it bunch. I don't think he's seeing her again. No, probably not.

He may not even know who it is. I don't even know that they give her name. They don't even give her name. Uh, no, they don't even give her name. But this is like the shittiest thing that I can think of doing to somebody. I mean, one of the shittiest things that I can think of doing to somebody is trying to re-impraginate yourself with old sperm, right? Come on.

You get a turkey bass or something. What do you try to do? Like literally slip the condom and you're, how does that work? What was she intending on doing? Getting on the floor, throwing your legs up on the sink. I guess so. Yeah, coaxing it down. Come on baby.

Like a catcher packet, like, you know, the last of the two's back. Yeah, come on. I got 24 hours, I know it. You. Yeah, come on. I got 24 hours. I know it. You're gonna win in there. You're gonna win. It's so stupid. And it's so stupid.

But then imagine she gets pregnant, then she's got to take it to ride for a rest of her life. That's the horrible thing to do to somebody. Horrible. Well, then maybe Drake should check who he's sleeping with. Serious. Might need to vet them a little bit better. Yeah, he's already got some kids too.

I think, doesn't he? Yeah, I think so. Like a kid or two or something like that. Yeah, I honestly feel bad for Drake in this situation, but you know, it's fair caution to all. That's right. Bring, when you can- Does Kerry's in the world.

Kerry's in Tabasco. That's it. You know, there's little, you know, there's little airplane bottles, or ranch. I'm sure ranch would do the same thing, actually. I'm sure sperm could not go or ranch. You know this little you know the airplane bottles or ranch I'm sure ranch would do the same thing actually. I'm sure sperm could not live in ranch I'd be interested to ask dr. Sid what condiments could could Can kill sperm yeah or could live with sperm like I imagine mayonnaise is probably one of those that if you under the right circumstances sperm could live in

We should do an experiment here. This is why commercial break is number 17 on the comedy podcast charts. Discussions like this that you can bring home to your family. Frank, honest. Frank, honest. Discussions about which condom it sperm lives in. I think mayonnaise is one of them.

I bet ranch you could probably do. I wonder why, well, I vinegar is probably what would kill the sperm in the hot sauce. Hence the hot sauce, yes. Hence the hot sauce, because most hot sauce has at least some vinegar in there. So smart thinking, smart thinking.

I don't know, he's done this before. He has done this before. Have you been watching Jeopardy? Oh, I love Jeopardy. Do you love Jeopardy? I do love Jeopardy, but I have to, man, I haven't watched it since the new, yeah, it's too hard to remember.

Who's the new one? Is Ken Jennings? Well, no, it was, what is... Malik. Yeah, my... Malikamaga. Yeah. Look at Dickick. She was Blossom. Oh, she was Bloss Yes, she was blossom. I'll refrain from the jokes, but she was blossom.

Oh, no, I'm thinking of punky broosters, a different one. Yeah, she was blossom. She was blossom mylic, hilic, or something. Yeah, melic, my leak. Yeah, I feel bad that we're mispronounced right now. Just know that we're well-intentioned. Almost always on this funcat. Almost 100% of the time.

90% of the time. It works every time. It works every time. So you stopped watching because Alex was the reason why you watched. I think so. I think so. I think so.

And I'd like to test my own knowledge too. Yeah. You know, I think you're right about this about the game shows. Because if you think about, like, let's think about what's the family feud, right? Yeah, I love family feud. So that's stuff I love that. So family feud became popular. Yeah, I love family feud. That's the stuff I love that.

Yeah, family feud became popular. I went to the family feud. I know, I remember this. I was in the audience front row, Steve Harvey. But do you go in there, like, multiple tapings in a day? Did you sit for multiple tapings? We were two. Who was two tapings, and how long did that take?

It took, like, you know, four, five hours? Four or five hours for those two tapings. Yeah, we were next to the woman who was actually in the audience too, kind of next to us. And she would be signaling to Steve, like if it's a correct answer or not. Oh, really? So it was interesting.

So it was that next to the judge, essentially. And she had the answers. She had the answers. Yeah. And then those would pop up obviously on the, you know, ding. But she would signal that that was the correct thing. And then that way he kind of know. Oh, so he would. Oh, okay.

God yeah, it was interesting, but then couldn't the guests also look at her? Yeah, they didn't know about her. Oh, they didn't know about her. Okay. So or maybe it was just some crazy later. That was the only thing that was. She had no idea. She was part of the production. Yeah. My point was was, I love family food. Family feud. And I think most game shows are really, because there's one consistent thing in that, there's, you know, two consistent things. The game and its rules, and then the host.

And so I've really, I think, I think part of that. But these have a lot, the popularity of these shows have a lot to do, a lot to do with the host. Absolutely. Many versions of family feud have been made, but there's only been three that have been really popular. Steve Harvey is, I think probably the most popular.

He's awesome. He's really good at that. I don't watch it a lot, but when I watch it, he's a fucking riot that guy. He is. He can't keep his foot out of his mouth. And you know what, there are so many sexual innuendos on that show in 2021 and in 2022,

that it's like, you know. They can get away. Who is it there? Who is the guy who would run around kissing, you know, they can get away. Who is it there? Who is the guy who would run around kissing everybody? Yeah, it was the original. The original hosting. He was like, I remember his name. Kissing teenagers on the mouth.

They're everyone like the 70s. It's rather disturbing. Yeah, he'd pat girls on the ass and they were like 13 or he'd be like, wow, you're well developed. Yeah, it's been like some nine year old. Yeah. You got big tips like, give him a little Uncle Frankie a kiss here on the developed. Yeah. It's been some nine year old. Yeah. You got big tips like, oh, give it a little Uncle Frankie of kids. You're on the mouth.

Yeah. It was pure sexual harassment. Uh huh. The entire time. Yeah. He was drunk. Was it Roger Barris? Was it Roger Barris?

Was it? No, that was the Gong show. Who was it? I'll have to, yeah, I don't care. No one cares. You just know that the first go back and watch some of the old from the 70s episodes of the first guy you did. There was the other one that you liked.

The double dare guy? The double dare guy I thought was good. I thought the guy was pretty good. He's a CD like serious. Oh yeah, he's crazy. Yeah. But double dare, it's also, they tried double dare without Mark Summers and it didn't work.

Yeah, and yeah, he had a great host. He is a great host and now he does all that food, but he's famous. We now he's a rich. Louie Anderson, who just died. Louie Anderson, who just passed away. He's famous, he's rich. Louie Anderson, who just died. Louie Anderson, who just passed away. He's super, super funny guy. He was good, but I don't think he was great.

No. And I think he was a little too, like he was big for the job. Like he, you know, he seemed like he was out of breath a lot. And that to me felt uncomfortable to watch. Yeah. So Steve Harvey is right in there. Oh yeah.

Crowd work is his thing. He's doing a great job. I did notice that Steve Harvey is going to have a new show where he plays a judge. Like it's like family court. Judge Harvey. Yeah. Judge Harvey. I'm like, but as much as I love Steve Harvey, why is he playing a judge just because he's

going to just tell people what to do? Here, I'm going to, there's a podcast syndrome going on with television right now. And that is, there are so many ways to get television programming into your face, streaming online phone, Hulu, whatever, there are thousands of distributors. And they all have the same business model, one and two, subscription or advertising. And it doesn't take a lot to make a program like that work. If you pay Steve a couple million dollars a year, all you got to do is sell

a couple hundred thousand dollars for the advertising each show, which may sound difficult. But if you have the connections, may not be, you have like, you know, 50,000 viewers in episode. And you can probably make pretty good money on that. You know, that means that I'll actually probably watch that show. Of course I will. Yeah. You know what I don't watch? I don't want to like divorce court or you know, it's just like all so fucking depressing. But who was the original people's court guy? Judge Wobbner.

Wobbner. And Doug Luellen. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Bob's dog, but Bill's boner. Well, Bill's boner, get paid. I'd just like, you know, it was the original and it was the best. It was the original, and the best. When you were sick from school. Yes. There were two episodes at 3 p.m.

And you were gonna watch both of them. You had to watch that. And you also had to watch the prices, right. The prices, right? Of course, you had to watch. And I think what's the Drew Carey is just fine as, but Bob Barker will never be another Bob Barker. And I think Drew's still doing that show.

Yeah, he is. Yeah, that's what a gig. That's a gig. Like, have I got one of those gigs? No one's gonna ever hire me now that I've been on the commercial break. Like that potty mouth, that's all is never gonna come closer to our TV studio.

But that to me would be the ultimate gig. It's really pretty good. Yeah, a late night talk show host or a game show host. Yeah. And just do it forever and ever. Yes. No, when you carry first got that show, when he was like two years into the show, I was in Los Angeles and I went and ate

at Mel's Diner, right? Okay. One of the famous dining show. There, Mel's Diner on Venter or whatever it is. Just, you know, because first of all, it's a good place to eat in the second of all, you know, you've got to catch a celebrity. So, I've been there.

I sat next to Drew Carey. And the waitress told me when he went to the bathroom, the waitress explained that he came there every morning before the taping and got the same thing, got the same thing to eat every morning. So I, you know, hey, congratulations on the job. You know, I've watched a couple episodes, I think you're doing- We talked to him.

I talked to him. He could not have been nicer. Nice. I think he had more time. We probably would have sat and had a cup of coffee. He seemed like a very nice guy. Yeah, he seems like a great guy. And you gotta remember Drew Carey was a huge TV star at one point.

Whose line is it anyways? Whose line and the Drew Carey show. And the Drew Carey show. Which actually wasn't that bad. One of my favorite show, but it was, you know, because it was all the same guys from whose line is it anyway doing the same thing just on a set with Drew carry. But here's my point, back to the point. The hosts have a lot to do with the popularity of the show. The reason why

Jeopardy loves the fact, why they changed this, you know, back in the day, you can only win five episodes and then you had to go. Yeah, that's true. And now you can win in finitom. It doesn't matter. Amy. Amy. Yeah. Amy can Jennings and a couple others. I mean, there's been a couple who have run like you know 40 episodes in a row But Amy who is transgender at one 50 one million something odd episode one million six hundred and thirty three thousand dollars on the show Incredible amount of money to make for going on a game show. Oh, Amy. Yeah. And the question, you want to know the question she lost on? Here's a question I'll see if you can get it. Oh.

What is the only country, only country recognized by the United Nations? Uh-huh. Whose name ends in H. Ooh. I don't think I would have gotten this one, but I read it because I read it. You know, I don't think I would have gotten this one, but I read it because I read it. I, you know, I, I, I don't think I would have got it, but maybe. Maybe.

Mm. I can't even think of anything. I'd give you one a hint. You want a clue? Okay. It's in East Asia. Oh. West Asia, I'm sorry.

Oh. Asia. Fin Asia. Why don't you just tell me? I don't know where it is. Bangladesh. Bangladesh. Bangladesh. So that's the one she got wrong and that caused her to go.

But the reason why these become news stories and why the popularity of the show goes up is because now there is some more consistency in the show. Like now there is a running theme. When it's three new Yahoo's every single time, right? Lots of people like to answer the questions or see if they have enough smarts to answer questions. I don't. I'm not jeopardy smart. I'm in the $100 category. If you give me the $100, it was just like, it was jeopardy for assholes. If we did like a $25 category, you know, name, like that old Saturday Night Live bit, you know, name a word that starts with I.

We like the. What is the? Yes. No, I mean, I do like to test my knowledge and you're right. I mean, I'm not going to be approached. No, I'm not going into the bottom. I'm not even going into the bottom as you want. We used to watch it every day getting ready.

It's kind of informative too. Yeah, you feel like you're a little bit smarter when you watch Jeopardy. There aren't many game shows that tell you that. Like I don't need to know, you know, you know, what's one, you know, what's one thing that looks like a stick that you use in the bedroom. What rhymes with, people answered, dick.

I don't need to know that. Doesn't make me feel any smarter. Nordic price is right. I can spin a wheel. You can guess how many dollars of vacuum cost. But Jeopardy is one of the, it's a smart person's game show. And so just like six word wordl is a game show. There's a game that makes you feel a little bit smarter.

Yes. When you're done with it. And so while I agree that they're making the right choices for the host, right, I think she's doing just fine. I watched the other guy. Yeah, the Kips producer. He was the producer that. And but he was molesting girls or something.

To be yeah. No, I'm saying that wrong. That's not true. He was on a podcast and he was saying like, Gracie things on this podcast. Now, some racey and possibly sexist and if I'm not mistaken, maybe a racist thing that he said on a podcast that he had,

that really wasn't good. It wasn't all that funny. I don't know why he did it in the first place. It's a fucking producer on Jeopardy. You don't need to do a goddamn podcast. Not everybody needs a podcast. I just tell you that. I mean, if you want a podcast, to do a goddamn podcast. Not everybody needs a podcast, not just cellular. I mean, if you want a podcast, go get a podcast,

but not everybody needs a podcast. When you're a producer and executive producer on Jeopardy, you must be making at least a million bucks a year. Yeah, something. Don't need a fucking podcast where you're telling blue jokes all day long. You gotta keep that Jeopardy tradition. They're not higher in me to replace Alec.

Sure, but I could, that's for sure. And so, you know, so he was saying some things that, I went back and listened to it. Listen, it was just off, it was just off-color comedy. Okay. Stuffed it. I don't particularly think it's funny. But he said that and that became a big controversy.

But the other controversy was, why is this guy getting the job? Who the fuck with the douchebag? Yeah, why the executive producer? So now he gets the host after Alec Dye's. Yeah. Like he wasn't hand chosen by Alec. And it was like three people, I think. It was that guy, the producer, then my like,

I'm gonna call him. I think my like, yeah, I can't even, Malik. Malik something. But awesome. Blossom, yeah, okay. It was her and Blossom and Ken Jennings, I think was the other one. Oh, okay, was it?

Yeah, I think Ken Jennings was the other one. And they kind of like decided that it would be the producer guy and everybody had an uproar. And they didn't, they didn't go through any process. They just decided that it was going to be this guy. When you have, it's like when we all have fortune when Pat dies or Vanna goes away or they but retire, you got to be extra fucking careful about who you decide to fill those shoes. You have to, yeah. And you better go through. Yeah, this better be a process. That's right. Who's

going to replace Vanna? Who's going to replace Pat? The mean bastard that he is. They can't know. One's quite an asshole like Pat is. No one comes across as more condescending than Pat Sagech. You got to find a real condescending asshole. Pat Sajek. Mickey Mouse will get Steve Bannon to replace Pat Sajek. I mean, it's like, Pat Sajek is an asshole. Do you like it that sense?

Yeah. I've never liked that guy. Yeah. I've never liked that. I love Vanna. I absolutely love her. I think she's fantastic. She is a national treasure.

She is a, she's an icon. You know, Wheel of Fortune and Vanna go hand in hand. I think in some sense more. You can replace Pat. You can replace Pat. Yeah, Pat's just an asshole. You can replace Pat. Yes, Vanna is going to be hard.

Replace him with the executive producer of jeopardy. Yeah, that's the best place to put it. There's a little more wiggle room in Wheel of Fortune. I mean, you're kind of smart if you get wheel of fortune, right? But wheel of fortune is really more of a game of chance than it is a game of skill. And, but Vanna, who are you gonna replace her with?

I mean, it's gonna be hard. Better not be one of those fucking Bachelorette ladies. It's really hard. Everybody wants those Bachelorette ladies and do something. No, no, no, no, no. Who would replace Vanna? Like I'm thinking like Vanessa Williams

or something like that. Might it be Vanessa Williams, like the old, if you were talking about Miss USA, Vanessa Williams. Does she think they might need to get somebody younger? Like if she becomes popular like Vanna did, you kind of go, Vanna's been there for what, 38 years or something?

A long time. Still looks great. Still looks great. Still knows how to spin those things Yeah, they're being Do you think she actually touches them or do you think that she does touch them? Okay, do you think that that is what causes it to actually happen? No, no, it's somebody somebody's actually it's a well-coordinated situation. She touches it as it's being turned Went I can't remember maybe it does maybe she does maybe she does maybe it's being turned. I can't remember. Maybe it does, maybe she does.

Maybe she does, maybe it's a touchscreen. It's a touchscreen. I can't remember, do they light up before, yes, they light up before she touches them? No, she touches it at the same time. It's very well coordinated. Huh. She must have something on camera.

She used to have to turn. Yeah. Turn them. Well, that's when I thought she was really doing her best work when she was a turn. Sorry. Now that she's a toucher, are you a toucher or a turner. When you're a toucher, it takes us work, but now she's earned her,

she's earned her touching. Oh, she's done her stride. How, how, how day, how, now Vanna doesn't, that's what she does on the show, right? Yes. And I'm not, I'm not knocking Vanna, but how fucking incredibly boring on some days must that be? Yeah. To just stand there and touch on it.

Not boring to make a ton of money though. Now she gets paid like $5 million a year to turn those to touch those fucking pads. I think she might get... And we're cool, Justin. I hope she gets paid as much as Pat SayJack does. She's better. Oh yeah, she better.

That's a controversy. I'd be willing to have a discussion about right here on the commercial break. We're sorry, sorry. Do you think Vanna would come on the commercial break? I would love to have Vanna. You know what, I think we can get the executive producer. We serve research. Do you think Vanna would come on the commercial break? I would love to have Vanna. You know what I think we can get? The executive producer of The Efforty.

Exactly. I think we can. I don't know what else I can do. I think that's it. I love Vanna. Love Vanna. Vanna White fan. You know, I grew up in Chicago and I,

I feel like Vanna had some ties to Chicago for some reason. I think she's a California girl. Or she maybe was born in Chicago, moved out to, you know, I just saw something about this. As a kid, I always felt a very like a kinship with Vanna. She went out to California to go into acting or modeling. Okay. And they picked her, they plucked her out. She landed on Willough Fortes and they're left.

Yeah. There's a price right girl thatough Fortune, and they're left. Yeah. There's a price is right girl, that's been there for like 30 years, too. Can we do that? Yeah. Can you do that here in the studio? Yeah. Starts with a T.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe we'll do that. Maybe I'll see if I can get a version of Willough Fortune. We'll do that. And we'll play it up there. Tcbpodcast.com is where you go. You can listen to all the audio, watch all the video.
