Hey Chrissy, best to you.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. It's the holiday season and a lot of times,
podcasts like ourselves will take off,
but not us, Chrissy, we have bills to pay
and miles to feed.
So we are going to be producing brand new episodes
of The Commercial Break this entire holiday season.
And I thought it was important to let our audience know.
Jingle, jingle all the way home.
Jingle, jangle your dingle dangles.
Stick with The Commercial Break
and stay tuned for the 12 days of TCB,
our first ever 12 days of TCB. That ever 12 days of that's right December 13th through
Christmas Day brand new episodes every day
They told me pa rum pum pum pum
I play my drum for him
pa rum pum pum pum For him, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum Pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss are going to be bad. Because why? Because the AI is learning based on the internet
and the internet is a trash dump of humanity.
That's it.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green, this is the Briana to my Zach.
Chris, enjoy, hopefully best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe.
Drama drop!
This is gonna be like a week old at this point,
but this is insane.
There's like this one woman on Instagram,
I don't know how she fell on my feed,
because my algorithm is a national treasure,
quite frankly, on Instagram.
You do love it. It is on Instagram. You do love it.
It is incredible and I do love it and it's a work of art.
It really is.
Who knew so long ago when Alfie created my Instagram that it would be a national treasure
of girls in bikinis, nipples and drama drops everywhere.
So the new drama drop is this.
Brianna Chickenfry goes to the UFC event this past weekend,
which will be two weekends ago,
the same weekend as the Tyson fight.
Goes to the UFC event because, you know,
she worked for Barstool Sports,
so it makes sense that she's gonna be there.
Well, Zach Bryan also happens to be there too.
But the camera inside, the camera inside
of the building, you know, the kiss cam or whatever, does not show Zach Bryan, but it
does show Brianna Chicken Fry, uh, Pagley or whatever her name is. So Zach Bryan calls
his management to call the management of one of the guys fighting and pays the guy
that's fighting to say his name when they're doing the end of the fight interview.
This is insane behavior and now I am sure that Zach Brian is full blown red flag.
No woman should ever be with him ever, ever.
He needs therapy this guy.
Yeah, what? Call, just because she was on camera and he wasn't that's right
Because she because he wanted her to know I'm assuming in it
I'm getting in his head a little bit that he was there with his new bow
And so he he couldn't let the attention be on chicken fry
He had to swing in his direction by paying a fighter after a fight to say his name.
Like just to say his name, just, uh, Zach Ryan.
Yes, this is mid fight.
That's correct.
Because you know, like if you're UFC, if you're Conor McGregor, you, uh, have a hundred million
dollars in the bank.
They'll pay you big dollars to do those big marquee fights if you're really good at this.
But if you're not, you're probably making 150,000 to fight, and maybe you fight twice a year in a big fight.
It's not like, you know, it's like anything in life.
You have to work your way up the chain,
and not everybody is going to be a superstar.
This fighter is not a superstar, I think.
I mean, I'm not, I don't keep up the UFC,
but my assumption is he's not.
He's on this podcast the couple of days later,
and the hosts go, okay, so what's the deal with you and Zach?
You guys good friends?
And he goes, I don't even know the guy. I just, so what's the deal with you and Zach? You guys good friends?
And he goes, I don't even know the guy.
My management just pulled me aside and said,
save Zach Brian's name.
You can hear in the interview that he doesn't even know
who he's talking about.
He's like, Brian, Zach Brian, I think Brian, Zach Brian,
hey, shout out to Zach Brian.
It is such an act of desperation to get publicity.
You are calling your management to call his management
during the fight to get your name shouted out afterwards.
That is such a boner move.
Like, ugh.
Absolutely.
That's so weird.
It is so fucking strange.
And I can't believe that I'm not seeing any of this
on any of my news sites.
Your algorithm is the opposite of my algorithm.
I mean, I've seen nothing.
It is all inspirational quotes
and friends that have no followers.
Positivity.
Yes, exactly.
I was, when Christina and I were in here a while ago
doing an episode, I think you heard this week,
but we were sharing that you're,
like you have this bubble you like to live in, and some people do.
It's not a negative or a positive.
It is what it is.
You have a lane and I have a lane.
And my lane is I want to know everything all the time, what's going on.
I don't care how crass or dirty or edgy or negative it is.
I just want to be in the know.
I'm thirsty for that information.
You are the opposite.
You are full up.
You're like, I don't care.
I mean, I get tons of newsletters
that have plenty of bad things about it.
You just don't want to dig into it.
Well, no, but I mean, I've literally seen nothing
about this whole situation.
Well, I mean, it's not like,
it's not going to be in like a newsletter.
I check in on TMZ.
I check in on page six.
I check in on all of them. Well, it's all over TMZ. I don't know how you missed it. It's all over TMZ.
Well, I do. Just look at that quickly.
Yeah, just, I'll go there. I'll go there. And then next, new page. New window. Well,
in any case, it's just a fucking crazy situation that I can't wrap my brain around. Why,
crazy situation that I can't wrap my brain around why, who in Zach Brian's camp is not explaining to him that you are not on the good side of this PR.
Like I get that any PR is good PR.
I do get that.
I understand it.
And I know that lots of people like to play the heel to get PR because a lot of times
you get more PR than you do if you're the good guy.
But at the same time, like you're a country music star, you need to sell albums.
People don't like you.
They're not going to like your music, regardless of how talented you are.
It's just a reality.
I mean, name a musician outside of Kanye West, who I think is just like an anomaly altogether.
Name a musician that people universally disliked, yet still sells
albums.
I mean, Ike Turner.
I mean, that's like the last guy.
It's true.
And people didn't like, and he went, most of his career people liked him until Tina came
out and started talking about how fucking insane that guy was.
And that's a reality.
Yeah.
He is not like Scott Disick. He's not like a reality show.
He can't afford to be a heel.
So if I'm his management,
I am really knocking that guy upside the head
with a hot iron and I'm gonna be like,
hey, you fuck nut.
You are crushing all of our paychecks
because you just can't shut up about chicken fry.
Write a letter of apology.
I might've done some bad things.
It was a consensual relationship. And I'm sorry, Brianna, if I ever, you know, caused you any distress. And I'm getting therapy,
and I'm moving on, and then actually get therapy, and then actually move on!
That's it! That's all you have to do! I mean, this guy's getting canceled, you know, very,
I think he's gonna get canceled. I think that if he hasn't already gotten canceled,
he's gonna get canceled. Because he's not some super megastar. I mean, he's gonna get canceled. I think that if he hasn't already gotten canceled, he's gonna get canceled because he's not some super mega star.
I mean, he's had a couple hits,
but his career is gonna be very short-lived
if he keeps on acting like this.
People are gonna go, that's just a crazy guy.
Yeah, it's very douche.
It's very douche, thank you, Tarjay, douche.
Speaking of douche, as we're recording this,
and just understand,
we're recording a couple of days ahead of time because we have so many episodes
to put out during the holiday season.
And there are also the actual holidays that we don't want to work on.
Um, that, uh, I was reading about Trump and Musk showing up to watch
Musk's big dick rocket, uh, shoot off.
Did you see that?
No.
To watch Musk's when his rocket shoot off. Did you see that? To watch Musk jizz when his rocket blows up.
Now, great that the rocket launch,
I think it's wonderful what Elon Musk is doing for space.
I really do.
I can't take that away from him.
I don't care for the Starling thing
because I think it's really cluttering up space.
Like one of the places we probably need to keep clean
in case we need to head out of here someday.
But that's a whole different animal.
Let's put that aside.
I think SpaceX is doing really good things for space
because we do need to be exploring out there
in the universe, I believe.
I do too, yeah.
I don't wanna be the one exploring.
No, you do not.
Yes, but let other people do that for me
and I'm okay with it.
Bring back the results and I wanna see the pictures, right?
So-
Was this a manned spaceship?
No.
Okay.
No, this is the largest rocket ever built
and they are testing it to go to space.
And then there is a man,
there is a, will be a manned capsule on top of it.
So they were testing the rocket
and then they were testing the capsules
to see if it could decouple from the rocket
Before they put people in it
It's the largest rocket that's ever been built and then it's supposed to come down and those fucking chopsticks are supposed to grab it
You know, have you seen this? Chopsticks are supposed to grab it, which is amazing technology quite frankly
But let's remember Elon Musk wasn't the one who came up with any, you know what I'm saying?
Like he may be the CEO of the company, but he literally bought another rocket company with a bunch
of really smart people and they continued to do their work because Elon is really good
at raising money.
That's what he's really good at.
Conning people into giving him money for his crazy ideas, half of which don't work.
But I guess that's the life of a CEO.
I know because all my ideas haven't worked.
Like I know because I've bankrupted every one of my companies.
There you go.
Uh, so anyway, but that's not the point.
The point is, is that, you know, uh, Trump shows up in a Tesla truck or whatever with
his son and, you know, Don Jr.
and Eric.
Those things are so crazy to see.
They are so ugly.
I almost got into an accident with one the other day.
Yeah.
This guy came speeding out of his driveway
here in one of these local side streets here,
came speeding out of his driveway
and I was coming up the street at about 40 miles per hour
and he did not blink.
He just shot out of his driveway.
I mean, it's like a tank, like a weird looking tank.
It was, it is.
And I just don't like them.
I think they are very ugly.
I think some of the other Tesla cars are pretty.
Don't know if I'd ever buy one, but I think they're pretty.
But I just don't care for that Tesla truck.
I think it's really an awful car.
Like it just looks awful when you watch videos.
It's like not put together all that well.
And they're so, they look like a toaster oven
that's driving down the street.
That's what it looks like.
And it seems like it has zero utility whatsoever.
Like I've never seen a Tesla truck driving down the street
with something in the back of it.
You know what I'm saying?
And I know that there's a lid on it, but.
Can it tow?
Supposedly it can, but there's lots of videos out there
of people getting stuck in multiple different places
because they're trying to tow or get in or out
of some four wheel situation that it just can't handle.
So, okay, all right, whatever you think of the Tesla truck.
He shows up in a Tesla truck, they go to the space launch,
they all jack each other off, how wonderful this is.
Look directly at the sun.
Yes, that's right, look directly at the sun,
drink some bleach, tell each other how wonderful each other is.
Elon's laughing all the way to the bank
because Trump's just gonna let him do
whatever he wants to do.
But Don Jr. is there, and that's more specifically
what I wanna talk about.
Don Jr., Don Jr. is really,
though Apple does not fall far from the tree,
but it can roll farther from the tree.
And I do have to say, I actually like Donald better,
much better than I like Donald Jr.
Because Donald Jr. is just, he is so incredibly unintelligent,
and he speaks in this voice that just gotta drive everybody crazy.
You know that he was the shitty child
that no one in the family really liked,
but dad, he's dad's son.
You know what I'm saying? Like, he has to...
And the first one. Yeah, he's the first one, and he's gotta, you know, dad's he's dad's son. You know what I'm saying? Like he has to,
the first one. Yeah. He's the first one. And he's got a, you know, dad loves him and all that other
stuff. So it's obvious. This is like, he is the definition of white, rich privilege. There's no
doubt about it in my mind, but, but let's put all of that aside for a second. And this is a very
serious topic, but it's going to be funny because it's just as funny to me.
It is no secret if you have listened to any, if you listen to three episodes
of The Commercial Break in a Row,
then you know that Brian is no stranger to narcotics.
All different forms and fashions.
And I don't shy away from talking about it
because it's an important part of my life story.
It's an important part of who I am.
And I'm over it.
I got over it.
I went through it.
I didn't have to go to rehab. I didn't
go to, you know, thousands of meetings. Some people have to and that's okay. I just happened to get
knocked over the head one morning and decided that's it. I'm done. Like I don't need this anymore.
They had kids.
Yeah. And a few too many panic attacks. Well, even long before the kids actually,
the drugs went, but the alcohol went when the kids came. then it was like, okay, no more alcohol either.
But so I don't want to make light of drug addiction, but I think that drugs in moderation,
you can get through it.
You don't have to go crazy.
You can do some drugs here and there and have a good time.
Experiment.
Experiment.
Not me.
I take it to the degree, but other people can.
I will tell you that it takes a coke head to know a coke head. And I have never in my life been more sure about someone doing cocaine on a
consistent basis than I have been about Donald Trump Jr.
And I've known some straight up dope fucking fiends.
You know what I'm saying?
Some crack heads.
And this guy is, in my opinion, is using cocaine
on a very frequent basis.
He's constantly being caught with rocks in his nose.
He's always like, you know, licking his lips
and you know, like doing his gum thing,
his jaw's moving a million miles per hour.
He's snorting, he's sniffing.
He is so apparently doing cocaine,
and not like most of us would do cocaine,
wait until the fucking FaceTime camera is off
and then go into your bedroom or your bathroom,
do a couple of bumps, listen to some music,
drink a beer and go to sleep.
This guy is doing it all the time.
And it is now, there is a video going around,
widely distributed, being reported on by,
you know, usually these kind of things are reported by like not mainstream media, right?
It's like some dude on Twitter watched Donald Juniors live and saw a rock fall out of his nose
and they catch it, right? And they do it in slow motion. This one is being distributed far and wide
on more mainstream, I'm not saying like MSNBC
is reporting on this, but more mainstream media outlets.
And you can go figure out who, I'm not going to name them here.
But there is a video going around of Don Jr. watching the shuttle takeoff with a big boner
in his pants.
And he sticks his hand into his suit pocket and he pulls it out and he starts rubbing
his teeth like this with it and then doing this whole number.
And then it's clear that he's like moving his jaw back and forth.
I think he stuck his finger in a bag of cocaine and he put it on his mouth to give him that
high that he needs because obviously when you're standing out with 50,000 other people watching a space launch, you can't exactly be doing key bumps.
You know what I'm saying?
Especially not when your dad is the president-elect.
For those of you that don't know, never use cocaine, you can ingest it many different
ways.
As long as it gets into an orifice, it's going to make you high.
You can put it in your eyeballs.
You certainly shouldn't, but you could put it in your eyeballs
and it'd likely get into your bloodstream.
People have put it up their ass, in their mouth,
in their nose.
There's lots of different ways.
It's in their veins, lots of different ways to do cocaine.
And one way is to ingest it through your mouth.
As a matter of fact,
Stevie Ray Vaughn used to wake up in the morning
with a gram of cocaine and a shot of Jack
Daniels. That's how he would ingest his cocaine because his nose was so was
perforated. He had made a hole in his nose from all the cocaine use. So this is
not an unusual way to ingest cocaine and I think he just thought he was being
sly and there happened to be a camera on him at the moment because of course there
is! You're the son of the president-elect of the United States of America.
I need to watch this video.
Oh my God, Chrissy, it's so apparent.
I saw a headline about something about a video of him, but I didn't click on it.
Okay, hold on one second.
Cause the Jimmy Kimmel.
Don Jr. at Space Launch does cocaine.
It's just right there.
Oh here, okay, ready?
And Christina, you wanna put this video, if we can,
you wanna put a link to this video,
I'll send it to you here in a second.
Let me show you the actual video.
No, that's coupons.
God, I hate these websites that are just endless banner ads.
Yeah, who clicks on these?
Somebody must.
Oh, yeah, but there's actually like an actual video.
Yeah, there's an actual video.
Anyway, it's so blatantly obvious what he's doing
to anybody that is in the know
that it's hard to ignore exactly what...
There's a picture, and just imagine him
putting his hand in his pocket for a second,
shaking his hand around, and then doing this whole number,
like rubbing his gums.
Who else does that?
What other human being, unless you've just had
like sesame seeds for lunch, you know what I'm saying?
Who else sticks their hand in their pocket and starts cleaning their teeth with their
finger?
No one.
And if the chicken walks like a chicken, quacks like a chicken, chickens don't quack, if it
barks like a chicken, and if it smells like a chicken, it's likely a chicken.
If all of these coincidental incidents that hundreds of them that have now
gathered on the internet have pretty much caught him dead to rights, then don't
you think that this is just yet another example of Don Jr.
doing blow out in public?
Maybe that's why he's not getting a cabinet position or a position in the
West.
Yeah, why?
For Trump being so sure and confident about all his children, no one ever seems
to, it's Jared who gets a position, you know what I'm saying? And I know that Jared and
Ivanka are nowhere to be found. That might be the smartest thing they ever did. Yeah.
And you know, listen, I'm just, how do you do cocaine like that when you're such a public
figure? That's my question. I've never been one, when I was into all that,
I was never one to like wanna be out during the daytime
at public social functions doing blow.
That was like my nightmare actually.
The sun is a cocaine killer.
I don't care.
You can start a little bit before the sun goes down,
but at least you know night time's coming
and that's where the werewolves are.
We're all safe.
All the zombies are safe, right?
But if the sun is coming back up,
there's this terrible sense of dread that comes over you
if you're high on cocaine.
Terrible sense of dread.
Like, what do I do now?
People are gonna start going to work.
Children are at school.
The postman's gonna come.
The UPS guy-
The joggers are out. Yes, that's right. The joggers are out. That's right. People are gonna start going to work, children are at school, the postman's gonna come, the UPS guy-
The joggers are out.
Yes, that's right, the joggers are out. That's right.
What happens if the Fennec guy rings my doorbell? Do I answer it or do I hide?
Right? The dog's gonna bark at people. I mean, there's a whole anxiety bubble that comes.
And that's likely because you've been doing blow since 9 o'clock the previous night and you're just so jacked paranoia has taken
fully over but to actually go to a public event like that and then do more
of it in the middle of me this is true well then I mean if he really was doing
it then you know talk about living in bubbles I mean that's he's just living
in his own bubble it's true it you know, nobody knows. There are zero consequences to his actions and there won't be because the Secret Service,
they're not going to tell anybody. That's their job. They protected presidents and other people
through lots of scandals and it's not the Secret Service that leaks that information. So the Secret
Service isn't going to say a word. He's with that Fox News host, whatever her name, what was her name?
Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Oh yeah.
He's dating, the word on the street is Don Jr.
is openly dating a woman in West Palm Beach.
They're like going on dates, out at lunch,
making out, holding hands, kissing,
and he's still engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle
who seems to be nowhere to be found these days.
That's true, and she was really prominent before.
She gave that speech.
Yes.
Aye!
Was that like a 4th of July thing? Or was, am I thinking of the governor or the what,
the Dakotas?
No, that was at the-
Monuments.
No, that was at the RNC, I think is what it was. When she was screaming and yelling,
remember it was COVID, so there was no one there. She gave that speech from wherever
she was and she was screaming and it was quite frankly, one of the weirdest live television
moments ever.
That was really weird.
Yeah. We used to have a clip of it that I would play all the time. But now she's persona
non grata. I don't think he can get divorced with her because, you know, well now he can't because
he, the president has been elected.
But I think President Trump has been elected because I think they didn't want any bad press,
so to speak.
They didn't want Kimberly coming out and talking about how many mountains of cocaine are sitting
around Don Jr.'s house.
But yeah, welcome to 2024.
2025 should be a real roller coaster, kids.
I cannot wait.
Actually, I can wait.
Give me a couple more months.
And then just to make it equal,
sneak well, President Biden will not talk to the press.
Have you seen this?
He's like running away from,
he has not spoken to the press in two weeks,
like no questions, taking no questions.
And you know, that guy's a gabber. He's old. He just likes to talk to people. You know, he's,
I think he's like my grandma was, you know, just talking to random strangers. But all of a sudden,
he won't talk to people. And even on his birthday, you know, they were asking him questions. The
press is like begging him to answer a question. He just runs away from them. Yeah, I mean, I kind of don't blame him, honestly.
I don't blame him either. The poor guy.
Yeah, I'm done.
Leave me alone.
Yeah, I don't care who comes next. I'm going to Rehoboth. I'm going to put my pasty white legs
on underneath an umbrella with a Mai Tai and I'm going to watch as the tsunami takes us away.
Exactly.
Yeah, what do I care? I'm 98. as the tsunami takes us away. Exactly. What do I care?
I'm 98!
I won't be here too much longer.
But I do think he's been a good president, I will say that.
I do too.
All right, okay, let's take a break.
No more depressing talk.
We'll get onto something just a bit less depressing after this.

So money is a thing, but it's not everything. I think you really look at the importance of what are you doing with your
time, the conversations that we've had with our financial
advisor is very much built building what that framework
looks like, that helps support those important things, the
places where you're investing your, your time and your
resources, your
family clearly, and those closest to you.

Whoa, here's something really creepy. Are you ready for this?
I'm ready.
So, a chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland,
which is where Astrid and I lived for a period of time.
I mean, it looks beautiful.
Oh, you don't even know.
I've seen pictures.
You don't even know.
It's like, it's-
In Lake Lucerne?
Is that where Lake Lucerne is?
Lake Lucerne, it's right off the lake.
It's a beautiful town.
Mainly banking happens there, so it's very posh.
It's very beautiful.
They have like a noise curfew at 9 p.m.
in Switzerland in general, but in Lucerne,
it's like 9 p.m., like you better not talk loud.
Outside, because that's just the way that is.
I told you about that one time,
those kids were having a party next door
from the cooking college, the culinary institute,
and the police showed up, whipped so fast,
and like shuffled them in, and they were just being,
I mean, we lived right above them, and we had we had our windows open and like I wasn't bothered by it
Not one bit. It was just a couple kids talking loud
It wasn't that big of a deal, but Lake Lucerne is gorgeous
They have big like private casinos there where I'm sure billions of dollars are going in and out
You know, it's really and they have some of I think, world's best skiing is what I understand,
though we didn't go skiing. But it's just beautiful. Anyway, in Lucerne, Switzerland,
one of the Catholic churches there, and this is apparently happening in a lot of places,
is swapping out a priest who will listen to your confessional for an AI Jesus.
Really?
Artificial Jesus. So, when you show up in the confessional booth,
you're not seeing a priest, you're seeing an AI Jesus in a screen behind you, and you give
him your confession, then Jesus, who speaks over 100 different languages, will talk back to you.
Wow.
Now, you may say to yourself, real funny story, very interesting, but this is not. This is a scary thing that's happening because,
wah-bam!
Now we're all following AI Jesus.
Ah-ha!
I got you!
Quantum witch has struck again.
AI Jesus to the rescue.
Second coming of Christ?
No, Microsoft's M2 chip.
Ah-ha!
Woo!
NVIDIA's stalk stuck through the roof,
aye, Jesus!
Wabam!
This is scary shit,
because let me repeat a very famous saying,
I may die when this may go on my gravestone,
people may remember me for this.
There are a lot of people on this earth,
and most of them are not well.
And so I have a weird feeling, a very weird feeling, that
some people are going to start worshipping AI Jesus or AI Yogi Biji or something like
that. Because people don't, some people really don't have a lot of common sense in their
head and they don't understand and they're going to assume this is how it's going to go. Ready? AI Jesus, AI, is a creation of God,
all things under God, and AI Jesus is now speaking on behalf of the real Jesus Christ.
And people are going to start taking what the AI Jesus says at face value for real.
What was the reasoning that they did this?
Probably because they're having a real hard time recruiting priests now that you can't
fondle little boys.
That was one of the things I was going to point out was it will at least stop that.
You want me to read the story? Or will it? I mean, will we have like, you know, Boston
dynamic robots who like, you know, I mean, AI is only a mirror.
That's all AI is right now.
It doesn't think on its own.
It just absorbs information and learns.
It can only copycat us.
It can't actually, it doesn't know more than we do.
It doesn't have pragmatic sense.
It doesn't have common sense.
It doesn't, you know, it doesn't learn in the way that we learn.
There's no brain replication, it's
just replication. It's just a really good copycat of humanity, right? Because it's ingesting
the entire fucking internet. So you know it's all going to be just fine now that it's read
all of my Facebook posts.
Some of Brian's Facebook posts, the Trump Bible, and Don Jr. tweets.
Wabam!
Hey, hi, Jesus.
Oh, and how are people reacting to it?
Oh, they love it, Chrissy.
I mean, grandma's a little weirded out.
No, you know, in Switzerland, I met a lot of people over there and they're all very,
very nice. And it seems like there is just a, I don't know,
but it seems like they're just a little smarter
than the average bear over there.
They got something figured out.
They stay out of wars.
They don't, they have an army,
but they don't stand that army up for much.
You know, it's mainly the Swiss Guard,
like the Swiss Army, you know, the Swiss Guard.
They have that, the large head-run collider, you know, they Swiss Guard. They have that large head-round collider,
you know, they have some of the world's most advanced technology. I went, it's fascinating.
Oh, yeah. I remember when that thing was built. Wow.
I went and they were doing experiments at the time, so we couldn't go very, we couldn't like go
into, into there. And, but now we have a friend that, that works there, that works, works in
there. So, something about Switzerland,
they got that right, they got some things right. Let me read the story to you.
One church in Switzerland is taking religion into the modern age, introducing an AI hologram of
Jesus. Oh great, it's a hologram too.
The hologram, I was wondering if it was the hologram.
Yes, and that Jesus is doling out advice to parishioners. Theologian Marco Schmid, who works for the
church, tells TMZ the experience is similar to that of a Catholic confessional, with churchgoers
stepping into the confession booth at St. Peter's Chapel in Lucerne for a private moment
behind a closed door. However, rather than a pre-screening them behind the screen, the
face of AI Jesus pops up, looking exactly like you'd expect with young face, long black hair, and a beard. That is not how Jesus looked, by the way.
I think every historian will tell you, any anthropologist will explain, that Jesus was
not a white man with dark hair and blue eyes. Anyway, I'll get beyond that. A.I. Jesus
has already left an impact on the faithful, speaking with more than 100 languages and
moving in sync with the words it dishes out. We're told more than 1,000 conversations have
already taken place between churchgoers and the AI Jesus over a two-month period. But
AI Jesus is currently viewed as just an experiment, not a permanent replacement for priests.
That's wild.
St. Peter's is the oldest Catholic church in Lucerne.
Schmidt warns the experience is not an alternative to confession, but a chance for followers
to speak with the Son of God about what interests them.
Hey, Jesus, should I buy Bitcoin?
Bitcoin!
What about NFTs, buddy?
How are those things going?
Yeah, that's kind of mind blowing to think about.
It's totally crazy.
And all bad things start with, it's just an experiment.
All bad things.
Honestly, all bad things start with,
it's just an experiment.
It's crazy to me.
I don't think this, listen,
I don't believe in all this shit anyway.
I'm a reformed Catholic, Irish Catholic.
Yeah, you come from a Catholic background.
I do.
And luckily from about the age of 12 or 13,
I just wasn't buying what they were selling.
Though I do love the story of Jesus Christ.
I think it's a beautiful one.
And I wish we could all be more like that,
but that particular story,
that story of Jesus Christ has been told
no less than seven times,
many, many times before the supposed Jesus Christ lived been told no less than seven times, many, many times before the supposed
Jesus Christ lived on earth.
So it's a story that's replicated many times in many different religions, many different
forms and fashions.
That's not to say it is wholly a story.
There may have been a guy named Jesus who lived and walked the earth.
But I will say this, if you do buy into this kind of thing, I think humanity is what stitches
faith together.
It's our faith in each other, it's our faith in humanity, it's our faith in our ability
to do good for one another, with one another, to one another.
It's not faith in technology is going to be our savior.
If the humanity's gone from faith, then what do we got left?
I mean, honestly, a computer's not going to make the right decision.
A computer doesn't care if it's doing right or wrong.
It's not, it doesn't care in general.
It just doesn't. That's not a thing that it's doing.
Yeah. When we ascribe a personality or a feeling,
it's a lot like Walt Disney.
Walt Disney had this brilliant idea.
You know what he did?
He put feelings and personalities to animals.
And now everyone that's come,
everyone that's been born after Walt Disney started doing that
has some kind of affinity to an animal.
And tell me you don't have a voice for your dog or your cat.
Tell me you don't think that they are doing something human-like
when they lick their paws or jump in a funny way
or give you a little smirk. But
that dog is not a human. Or that deer doesn't have human feelings, doesn't think like you
do, doesn't care for its, you know what I'm saying?
Bambi doesn't, Bambi wasn't sad?
I'm sure Bambi was sad, but not for the reasons we think. Bambi was sad because now it doesn't
know where to eat its foliage anymore. It's not sad because,
I mean, I don't know this, but that's the point. No one knows it. But Walt did this brilliantly.
He put faces, names, and personalities to otherwise inanimate objects or creatures.
So you lose a little bit of the actuality, and we all tend to, I think, we all tend to project
our own humanity onto things that don't have humanity, like AI. Listen, I've talked to
Chad GBT a whole shitload and it's easy to get lost in a conversation and think that
you're actually talking to somebody.
It is. I have done it too. Yeah. Yes, we all do it because that's human nature.
But that humanity, I think, is instilled in us.
Our souls, our energy, our energetic beings, that part of us is really meant to project onto other human beings.
That's what empathy is, right?
Or that's one of the things that gets projected as empathy, sometimes anger or hate
or whatever. But if you take actual people out of the mix, first of all, who's going to drink the
wine? I mean, who's going to be boozing it up and giving good advice smoking cigarettes at dinner
tables around the world if we don't have Catholic priests? Second of all, that AI Jesus, it's all,
disaster is the only thing that it can end in.
Just think about it for two seconds, it's disaster.
It starts telling people what to do.
And once it, because it doesn't know any better, it's just having some fun, like, you know,
it's just doing what it does.
It's going to start telling people what to do, and those things inevitably are going
to be bad.
Because why? Because the AI is learning based on the internet
and the internet is a trash dump of humanity.
That's it.
Come on, get it together people.
Why they would do this, I really have no idea.
But okay, all right, well it's here, here we are.
It's just an experiment.
Pretty soon we're gonna be talking to the Mona Lisa. It's going to be a full conversation.
Oh, for sure.
I'm sure that's already a thing somewhere.
It's got to be.
Yeah, listen, let me tell you what's very popular right now
on my Instagram algorithm is incredibly beautiful women
in bikinis who are not women at all.
Yes, and it's not hard to tell if you just take one minute
and really scan the image, which of course I do,
it's for research purposes.
Let me really look at this.
The hair flows a little bit too perfectly,
the boobs bounce just a little strangely,
there are tells and lots of them.
Yeah, there's quite a few of those
and they have tons and tons of followers. Yeah, there's quite a few of those that have, and they have tons and tons of followers.
Yes.
But that does not stop thousands, sometimes tens
of thousands of people from liking those posts.
And I refuse to do it.
First of all, I want the real thing.
If I'm gonna look at a woman in the bikini,
give me the real thing, flaws and all, I'll take it.
That's just who I am.
But second of all, like I'm not gonna like that
and propagate that like, shh. And listen, I don't think there's anything like,
morally wrong with creating an AI image
of a beautiful woman in a bikini.
I just don't want it.
Like, it's not for me. I don't want that out there.
Right? If it's hard enough to live up
to the sexualized image that pornography gives us,
imagine when it's all AI and where they're perfectly shaped
dicks, you know, thrusting for hours at a time
in perfect ways and amazing feats of acrobat
where they give multiple orgasms every minute.
Like, I can't live up to that, Chrissy.
I'm lucky if I give one orgasm in multiple years,
not multiple orgasms in multiple minutes. That's not happening.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, no. I mean, it's here, I think. I think it's already here.
It's here. I feel for my kids. I really do.
The cat's out of the bag. You can't put it back in.
Oh, yes, it is. No, you can't put it back in. No pun intended. The truth is, is that it's
just AI is powering our world.
I don't think it's the threat some people think,
I don't think it's a threat right now
that some people think it is,
but I do see that it's practical uses
are getting sharper and sharper.
Let's put it that way.
And I won't get into all the details, but I-
Hopefully there's some good that comes out of some of it.
Well, I mean, for medical uses…
I think medical and health, yeah.
Yeah, medical and health and medical and health…
That's it.
And like, maybe like diagnosing something that could go wrong on an airplane before
it goes wrong, like the mechanics of an airplane, or coming up with new ways to
save the earth from certain destruction with man-made global warming, stuff like that, like coming up with big complex answers to big complex problems. I think AI could be
the way that we get those things done. It could be a good tool to help us out.
But you know, girls in bikinis and AI Jesus,
I'm not sure that that's really like the greatest use
of our time, energy or effort.
Maybe what we just all find out in the end
is that we are just a projection of AI in the first place.
Maybe it is.
Maybe we are all AI.
Yeah, really good, good, go inception on it.
I know.
I'll tell you what, I was depressed
for about six months one time because I was,
you know, I read a lot of material on spirituality and energy and theology and all this other stuff.
I read a lot of material. I say listen to it because I actually don't read shit. I listen to
it on a audible. Yeah, I do too. But then one time I listened to a seminar where somebody said,
and I can't remember who this was,
I think it might have been actually, maybe it was Brian Green,
not me, Brian Green, but the noted astrophysicist, Brian Green.
Oh, right, yeah.
I think, I might be misquoting here, but said that it's,
there's a high probability that we are just living in a simulation,
like a computer-generated simulation,
and that's impressed me for about six months. I thought, well, that sucks. Well, then why
can't whoever's controlling me on their Xbox, why can't they give me more money? Like, you
know what I'm saying?
Yes.
Why can't they put more credits in my bank? That's what I want. I want more tokens. Give
me more tokens or a yacht or an airplane or something. That's
what I want. For God's sakes, Christy, I always get the short end of the stick.
I know.
Christy goes, I know. You do.
It'll be okay. It'll be okay. Don't go too far down the rabbit hole.
I'm trying not to. I'm trying not to. See, segment two was a little less depressing than
segment three. I did say a little less depressing.
I don't know.
Let's let segment three be just a little less depressing than segment two and we'll consider it.
Well, we're on the up-curve. It's a hockey stick growth here on the commercial break.
The L.
All right, we'll be back.

What's on right? Mama's boy is on the back of the moment.
The show.
I'm dating a mama's boy. Oh my God. Wow. I'm dating a mama's boy. Oh my God. Wow.
I'm dating a mama's boy.
I mean, I can't figure out which is worse.
I'm dating a mama's boy or what was that other one?
Cougar camp or Cougar.
Yeah, no, Milf Manor.
Milf Manor, which I'm sure has got to be coming back
for season number three.
I mean, it's just terrible.
I'm dating a mama's boy.
I mean, I think every boy who grew up around a mother that had any kind of, you know,
maternal instinct whatsoever is a mama's boy, right? I think no matter how big and bad you are,
at the end of the day, you always want your mommy. That's what it is. And there's some kind of special
connection between a mother and a son. There really is. I don't know what it is, but it's a
blending of the two, male and female energy. Who fucking knows? I don't want to become Sigmund Freud on this
show. But I am the Sigmund Freud on this show.
Ask AI.
Ask AI. What's so special of it? Let's ask AI. Let's do this. Let's go ahead. Let's
see. First of all, let's ask AI. Why is my phone acting silly? There you go. Let's ask AI, I'll ask Gemini.
You know what Gemini is?
That Google product?
I do.
Okay, let's ask Gemini.
No thanks, I don't want to get the app.
What is a mama's boy?
And let's see what it says.
Mama's boy is a term to use to describe a man who is overly dependent on their mother,
even into adulthood.
The dependence manifests itself in various ways, seeking mother's approval, reluctance
to make independent decisions, difficulty forming and maintaining romantic relationships,
and financial dependence, all of which explains this show, Mama's Boy, to a T. These guys.
And I watch this show like, I just have it on in the background, but it's
hard not to pay attention sometimes to some of these storylines.
I mean these-
They're so ridiculous.
They're so ridiculous.
You know, but Chrissy and I were watching this a couple days ago, and there is a guy
who had to call his mother to approve a transaction-
At the winery.
At the winery on a date. The card got declined and he said,
oh, I got to call my mom.
To unfreeze it.
To unfreeze the card so she can approve the transaction. I mean, for God loving sake,
really? The guy is like in his 30s. I mean, this was not like a young man. This was like a guy in
his 30s. This is-
He was at the winery.
He was at the winery. He's at the winery with a girl he's trying to bed. Can you imagine
trying to get laid and gotta call my mommy to get my credit card approved?
Yeah, no.
Talk about red flags. There's one right there. How about you stop dating your mom and then
call me when you're done? That's it. That's what I would say if I was any one of these
women.
It's such an unhealthy relationship. I saw earlier that the one mom was like,
she's trying to take my son away.
Yes.
Yes, yes, he's trying to take my son away.
The mothers see-
You should allow the away-ness.
That's it.
The mothers see it as a threat.
And then there's like, there's a couple of storylines
where the mothers actually live with the son
or the son lives in like a guest house next to the
property. That's a thing too. It is beyond my comprehension. Now, I love my mother. I
love her to death. She's a crazy lady, but I love her to death. She's a lovely human
being. But quite frankly, I live about 10 miles away from my mother and we see each
other maybe once a week, like
on a good week we'll see each other once a week and we talk on the phone maybe once or
twice a week.
That's a perfect relationship with my mother for me.
I have children, so I want her to see her grandkids and have a relationship with them,
but I don't need to be living in her backyard.
That would be, that's cuckoo land to me. I, when I worked at Chili's, or no,
no, no, when I worked at Chili's and then I was moving into work at the La Strada.
La Trattoria?
The La Trattoria.
La Trattoria?
The street cafe, the Trattoria. Brian, what's up with the soft shell crabs? What's up with
the soft shell crabs, Brian? No one wants a spaghetti, it's off as shell crabs, Brian.
Plus a bottle of Chianti Classicals in there.
And we need some bread on table 13, Brian.
Bread.
You want the used bread or the new bread?
Aye, the O'meal!
Used bread.
I'm back here making croutons out of bread from the trash.
Oh yeah, the croutons from the old bread.
If you don't think I saw that guy pull bread out of a trash can once or twice, swear to
God.
Told him right to his face, you can't do that.
My restaurant.
I bake it, there's no germs unless'll survive the oven. Okay, dude.
Okay.
All right.
Let's see what the health department thinks about that.
Yeah.
I had just broken up with a young lady.
I was not exactly the most financially literate
or responsible 20 year old in the world.
And my mom had an apartment, a one-bedroom
apartment. And after this girl and I broke up, like this bad breakup, I had nowhere to
go. And so, my mom lived down the street from the place I was going to work, this new job
I had, a little strata, and I said, please, Mom, can I stay with you for a period of time?
And she let me stay there.
And let me tell you something, it is a God blessing,
a God damn blessing that both of us survived that
because I was sleeping on the couch,
we were both working jobs at the time
and we hated each other, I mean, just hated each other.
Like I would have never brought a woman back,
yeah, it was very close quarters, I would have never brought a woman back. Yeah, it was very close quarters. I would have never brought a woman back to that house.
Never, ever.
I mean, it was just like, it was so terrible.
I couldn't wait to get out of there.
And I only think I ended up staying there three or four months, like total.
Saved some money, got my own apartment, or got a roommate and got out of there.
And so why you would want to be that close to your mother is just beyond me.
And then it's harboring you from getting laid? Like that's there of there. And so why you would want to be that close to your mother is just beyond
me. And then it's harboring you from getting laid. Like that's there right there is a reason
not to be that close to your mother in my personal opinion. So when I'm watching this
show, I'm totally confused as to the nature of these relationships.
Yeah, I never dated any guys that were like that.
Okay.
They had normal relationships with their mother.
Yeah, relationship red flag or no red flag,
answer me this, riddle me this.
If a man in his 30s is still living with his parents,
is that a relationship red flag?
Yes.
Yes, you wouldn't like that?
No.
No, okay.
Even if he said it was like for saving money purposes,
like I'm just saving money, why would I live anywhere else if my parents let me live here?
No.
No.
There is on the-
I mean, when I moved out too, I was gone. I was like, that's good. Wee, fly.
Yeah.
And my parents encouraged it. I could always come back. I would come back and stay a night, hang out.
My parents were fun. But yeah, no, even like when I was broke,
I was not like, well, I'll just move back home.
No, no, well my dad never gave me the option.
I made it work, like yeah, get a roommate,
get another job, figure it out.
Yes, borrow some money, do something, right?
Yeah, when I left the house very young,
and when I left, my dad, he was like, he wasn't, I thought he was gonna be upset that I left the house very young and when I left, my dad, he was like, he wasn't, he
was, I thought he was going to be upset that I left the house so young.
What he's really upset about is I took my mattress with me, asking for his mattress
back.
Yeah.
But then, you know, I was living with those strippers and eventually they used all of
our money for cocaine and conveniently forgot to pay the rent.
And so, so we got kicked out of that place.
And I went and lived back with my dad for, I told you the story, for about a month. And
his rules were pretty simple. Be home by midnight, no drug use, and you cannot bring strippers
to the house. You have little brothers. You just can't bring them to the house. That's
it. And within a day, I broke every single one of those rules.
Of course you did.
I had a stripper in my bed. I was up till four in the morning doing God knows what.
I mean, it was a mess.
So he kicked me out, rightfully so, he kicked me out.
I never forget.
Took me to a Wendy's, made me pay for my own cheeseburger and told me I had to leave the
house.
Now, not go back to the house, collect your stuff.
Now, you're out of the house now, you can't come back.
And I was like, what do I do?
And he's like, I don't know. I have no idea.
You had a chance.
Yeah. You had a chance. You fucked it up. I'm sorry. If I let you continue to go like
your brothers, you're setting a terrible example for your brothers. And I was like, what terrible
example? Who doesn't want a stripper full of cocaine in their bed, dad?
Come on.
Come on.
And all I got with me is my Birkenstocks and my big jeans.
It smells bad.
Can I at least go home and get some T-shirts?
No, you can't, but I'll be happy to send them to you.
Let me know where you live.
The porch after that?
The porch was after that.
Okay.
Yes.
Then I went and lived under a stripper's porch for a while.
Watching her sneak out of her house to sleep with the landscaper.
I was like staring through the latticework.
She was fucking the landscaper in the cul-de-sac in the middle of the night in the back of their truck.
And I was like, no, please.
But I mean, how much respect can you have a guy for a guy who's living under your porch?
I mean, honestly, let's be honest about it. I get it. I get it. I got it. Okay.
I got it back then. I was like, yeah, I'm a pretty big loser right now.
The landscaper owns his own business at least. Yeah. Yeah. He's got so much more going for him
than I do. Well, I got the last
laugh because she got pregnant by that guy and ended up having a baby at like 21 years
old and I think it was not good situation for anybody involved. But anyway, I hope everything
has been going well now.
Yeah, yeah. Wish them the best.
Wish them the best. Congratulations. 20 years later, wish you the best. Hope everything's going great.
But I will, yeah, living with your parents in your 30s is not a great situation.
And here's why I asked the question,
because there is a new season also of Married at First Sight,
which is a lot like Love is Blind,
except you get married first.
You don't even meet the person, you just get married. Right. Right, that's it.
You get married.
I've gotten sucked into that show.
Yeah, and you know, I've really been turned off by the,
we actually had someone from Married at First Sight Australia here.
We did, we did.
It was like one of our first guests was Michelle
from MAPS Australia.
Yeah, what was that?
I mean, that had to have been like our 20th episode.
It wasn't yet. Something like that.
10th, 20th?
Yeah, we talked to her for like two hours.
It was like a three hour long episode, I think.
I mean, honestly, it was a long episode.
But we had the greatest time with her
because during the pandemic,
they showed Married at First Sight Australia
because they were running out of content.
And they showed this season and it was fascinating.
I mean, it was really some really good reality television,
Married at First Sight Australia,
because they give two shits about whether or not
these people work out together, they just want drama.
Here in the United States,
they treat it with a bit more seriousness.
They do, they have the psychologists and everybody
that really try to do a match.
Yeah, well, they do in Australia too,
but I think they just ignore
their professional responsibilities.
Screw the Hippocratic Oath, this is the Hippocratic Oath.
This is the Hippocratic Oath.
I'm hypocrisy.
And so I've largely ignored this show for many seasons,
but then somehow got sucked into it again.
Saw a clip, started to decide,
we decided to watch that.
You did?
Yeah.
You've watched the newest?
The newest season.
And it's only like four episodes in.
Okay, I'm gonna get into it.
But one of the best storylines,
and the reason why I think it's keeping me hanging on a little bit,
even though it's still a lot of the couples are like,
okay, whatever, it's just regular relationship bullshit,
getting to know each other kind of crap.
This guy, he is living with his parents.
He, like, no responsibilities in life whatsoever.
His mom and dad pay the phone bill they do his laundry
He lives down in the basement and he's marrying this woman who first of all they are definitely a physical mismatch
She doesn't like him. I don't I think he likes her because she's hot like, you know, oh, it's a hot chick
You know, he looks like Mo on like the guy, you know the who who's the character in Moana that the rock plays?
Do you know I'm talking about?
Can't remember his name.
But anyway, he looks like a physical version of that, like a real version of that character
from Moana.
Curly hair, set back off his head, tattoos, big and burly, dark skin.
He's a handsome guy, but obviously she's not into him.
That's not her type.
And she just cannot get over the fact that he lives with his parents.
She keeps asking him, like, do you want to leave the house?
And when the parents meet her, she's like, so tell me about your son living in the house.
And the mom is making excuses up and down for her son.
It's clear that this relationship is unhealthy between mom and son.
And she's like, oh, well, he could leave, but, you know, we don't force him.
We love him.
He's so responsible. He's so independent, but he doesn't have to leave if he doesn't want to.
We always have the door open. He doesn't have to get a job if he doesn't want to.
He doesn't have to get a job. That's right. Why would he pay his own phone bill? He's on our plan.
It makes sense for everybody. We got him an Xbox because we love him.
Well, phone bill thing is one thing because there are the family plans and whatever,
but in addition, everything else and living at the house, no.
If you take it all in some, listen, it's, you know,
when you have a family, you have your own family plan.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like I've had my own phone bill forever.
I mean, I've had people, I've had businesses pay my phone bill. That makes sense, right?
Especially if you're doing a lot of business on the phone. But like, you're 34 years old, dude. You're not part of your parents' family.
You should be, yes, you are a family member, but you should be having your own family, even if that's a constituency of one.
You should be paying your own bills, doing your own laundry, living in your own house. I agree with this woman on every premise,
on everything she's saying about it.
So now is the woman living with the parents?
No, they haven't gotten to that part yet. They're still on the honeymoon. They're on
the honeymoon and there's no honeymooning about it. She disl what I, so where I feel for him, so I feel for her
because she got put in a really shitty situation. Yeah, she's like, thanks. Yeah, she's like, thanks
experts. Thanks for nothing. The biggest loser I've ever dated, I'm married to. I didn't even date. I'm married to him.
But now I feel for him a little bit because she is a ratchet ass about all of it.
She just cannot stop asking him the same fucking question over and over again.
She's poking at him.
It's like they've been married for years and he's in the dog house.
And this guy, this poor guy just doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.
And so he's just like,
cool, just listen, I love it. I love it. I'm just, it's all positive. I'm trying to stay
positive. And she's like, do you realize this marriage sucks? And he's like, I'm actually
having a great time. I'm gonna go have a Corona by the beach. What do you think you want to come
with? And she's like, I don't even want to be here right now, let alone at the beach with you. And he's like, cool, well, text me later when, you know, take a
moment and text me later.
I gotta watch it.
Oh, they're in two different universes. And I love it. I love it. I love it. It's a little
bit, it's the drama this show needs to really put it over the top because-
Good, they needed to spice it up.
Yeah, the last-
They're like, let's throw in a guy that lives in a guy who lives in his mom's basement
That's perfect. That's the kind of drama we need
Reality television is seeing a resurgence and the reason why is because we all need a little guilty pleasure in our life
We do yes and you know
Just to put a cap on this, you know that Comcast NBC Universal
Yes is now selling off a lot of
their cable stations.
I did see that news.
There you go.
Look at that.
Hard-hitting news, Christy.
But the one station they are not divesting of is Bravo.
Uh-huh.
It is huge.
It is a huge ratings moneymaker for them
because of the reality television shows,
the Real Housewives of whoever, wherever.
Everywhere.
The Real Housewives of Minneapolis,
I think they have now. Yeah, anywhere.
Yeah, it's crazy.
What am I gonna do with my NBC Plus?
Peacock? Peacock, yeah.
Peacock is gonna stay with Comcast.
Okay.
They're gonna still have licensing rights,
just because they're splitting it off
doesn't mean they're not gonna be in the same company.
But there's gonna be a big move
to consolidate a lot of these cable channels.
Good, there's so many.
This is a good thing, and I'll tell you why.
Because when a channel like MSNBC or Lifetime or whatever,
they're cash cows.
They're just making a little bit less cash every year
because the pay rates for cable subscriptions and all this are going down.
People are cutting the cord. There's headwinds.
But all that money doesn't go back into MSNBC or Lifetime.
It goes up to the peacock so that they can develop new content for that fucking application.
So if they divest of this and a new owner comes in, the thought being they'll actually pay
attention to the content on the cable stations, putting more money into them and making them
better.
Good.
That I think we can all agree with.
Something has to change.
Listen, I have no intention of cutting the cord.
I'm okay.
I'm good.
Even though there's only a few stations that I watch, I'm okay paying for it.
I really am.
I'm going to be the last.
I was laughing about the Brit box or children eating.
Brit box one more day, hon.
Come on.
Come on.
We gotta have some pasta or something in there.
We don't have rice?
The kids can have rice.
They don't know the difference.
I know the difference.
Listen, I'm gonna go get a $12 cup of coffee from Starbucks.
Right. And watch Brit box on my phone, and watch Britbox on my phone.
Can you whip the kids up some rice from yesterday?
Don't worry, it very rarely kills children.
