Breaking news. Breaking news here on the commercial break. And this is pretty much the end of the show. about content when Brian's doing an intro for 25 minutes. Right. Oh! Good times. Hey, breaking news, breaking news here on the commercial break, and this is perfect commercial break fodder. This guy, Joey Chestnut, we all know him. You remember Big Will the Champ?

Yes, of course. Yeah, you asked about him this morning and it got us thinking about Big Will the Champ because he was a competitive eater. He's a fan of the show, he's been around for a long time. He's given us lots of content ideas. Great guy. He even sang us a song one time, remember that? He did, yeah. We had to check in with Big Will the Champ.

We do need to check in. Yeah, I took a break from all the chatter. Sometimes I interact with the listeners and then sometimes you just need a break from you're talking about it all day long, da da da da da. You need to take a break from your own voice. Even I get sick of hearing myself talk sometimes, even though our commenters probably don't agree.

So Big Will the Champ was a competitive eater and he got us excited about the world of competitive eating, which we did some research, we did a couple breakdown videos. Joey Chestnut is probably the most famous competitive eater of all time, Certainly the best competitive eater of all time. Some call him the goat of competitive eating. Won 16 championships. 16. In a row, I think. Yeah, and then like five before that. It was like two years where he didn't win

and then he went on like a 16 year run. Hold on, I have some, let me see here about. And this is, the thing is, is Nathan's famous hot dog competitive eating, which happens every fourth of July. It does. You're right. And it's like a American tradition for many, many years. To gorge yourself on hot dogs. To gorge yourself on hot dogs without fuking. It's a rather disgusting event to watch, but I do nonetheless, because I started watching it once Will the Champ got all excited, got me all excited. I was like, okay, let me tune in. It's on fucking ESPN. That's all I got to

say. It's on ESPN. Every news outlet does some, you know, kind of fluff piece on, on the Nathan's famous up in Coney Island, I think is what it is. So Nathan's famous. You've all seen the hot dogs in your local grocery store. And of course they're famous. That's why they call them Nathan's famous. They're hot dogs, and Joey Chestnut has taken, I think the world record is 71 hot dogs in like a 10-minute period or something like that. Let me check this out. But first, I want to tell you what the big drama is

about Joey Chestnut. After many, many years of being the undisputed champ of competitive eating and Nathan's Famous specifically, Joey Chestnut has been banned from the competition. Drama, drama, drama. He jumped. He jumped sides. He jumped sides. He's now a sponsor. His sponsor is Impossible Foods, the, of course, vegan meat processor.

The meat alternative. The meat alternative. They grow it in a lab in some weird, they grow it in the lab. I guess they can grow Frankie B's hair follicles. They can grow. They can grow a lot. Joey Chestnut's hot dogs, huh? So Joey Chestnut has a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods. It must be for a lot of money. Very lucrative. I read that Joey Chestnut makes somewhere upwards of $500,000 to $650,000 a year from his competitive eating and sponsorships. I guarantee, I'm guessing a million dollar sponsorship with Impossible Foods.

They had to make it very attractive. Had to make it very attractive. Well, Nathan's Famous has an exclusivity clause inside of their competitive eating contract. If you want to participate in this competition, then you cannot be sponsored up with a competitor, quote unquote, and they consider Impossible Foods a competitor. Why? I don't know.

Did this Impossible Foods make hot dogs? I think so. Really? So they have hot dogs grown in the lab? Okay. They make everything. I can't say anything. I had an Impossible Burger one time.

Let me share my opinion on it. It's not meat. It's fine. It tastes fine. It's a pretty convincing alternative. Yeah. It's better than most vegetarian or vegan meat substitutes that I've had.

From the past, yeah. And it even bleeds like real meat. You just know it's not. And so it's just not. If someone had put the burger in front of me, like three burgers in front of me, and said take a bite of each one and tell me which one is Impossible Foods,

it's likely I would be able to tell which one was Impossible Foods. But since I knew I was getting an Impossible Burger in the first place, I already was convinced it's not meat and nothing was gonna change my mind. And I wasn't gonna bite into it and go, oh my God, tastes just like, you know, Five Guys. But also too, we're

not already vegan. So maybe people that are already vegan, this is a fantastic choice now. And listen, I have nothing against no, no, no, no. I think it's a very admirable, uh, way of living. Yes. And so I have nothing against vegetarians, vegans. I was vegetarian for a while, lasted about a week and a half, but I did it. Nonetheless, that was one of my juice cleanse at $600 per glass five times a day that you had to pick up fresh. So you win $10,000 for first place in this competition. So if you have a big lucrative sponsorship contract, it's understandable that you might side with whoever's feeding you, right?

You can't bite the hand that feeds. No pun pun intended. So let's read a little bit about this whole chestnut drama from chestnut drama. He he. Hard hitting news here at the commercial break. It's like a mass shooting and a, what was it, a mass shooting and a

positive situation. A bus that was hijacked. A hostage situation. Yes. A hijacked bus here in Atlanta. In Atlanta yesterday. And I'm talking about Joey Chestnut as if the world's coming crumbling down. Byline ESPN sponsor conflict keeping Joey Chestnut out of the hot dog eating contest. Joey Chestnut, the 16 time champion of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest will

not compete in the annual 4th of July event next month. Major League Eating announced on Tuesday. Major League Eating. I had no idea. A spokesperson for Major League Eating, also known as MLE. MLE. Yeah, the MLE.

It's so ridiculous. Told ESPN that Chestnut had chosen to represent another hot dog brand, quote unquote, and therefore would not be allowed to participate in the Nathan's Contest, which is held annually at New York City's Coney Island. Chestnut, Competitive Eating's biggest star, who is also known as Jaws, didn't know that one, Jaws, has won the event eight years in a row. He reportedly agreed to a sponsorship deal with Impossible Foods, a company that makes plant-based hot dogs and a competing company

to Nathan's famous hot dogs. It would be like Michael Jordan saying to Nike, I'm going to represent Adidas also. MLE- Did you say Nike? I said Nike. Did I say Nike? Yeah, I said Nike.

Okay. MLE event organizer, George Shea said, Oh, come on, man. You can't compare Joey Chestnut to Michael Jordan. Really? Come on. Chestnut in turn issued his own statement on X, where everyone goes for their information,

saying he is gutted to find out that he wouldn't be able to compete. Got it! I mean, all the... I know, all the puns keep rolling. You know, the CSPN reporter was like, fucking shit assignments every time, gotta talk about Joey Chestnut and the MLE, which isn't even a thing. I mean, who's the MLE?

Like two guys from Nathan's Famous who cook hot dogs? Right. We're like, we're the board of directors for the MLE. You know they have business cards, you know they do. Oh, absolutely. By day cooking fries directors for the MLE. You know they have business cards, you know they do. Oh, absolutely. By day cooking fries by night, MLE board member. Joey says, I love competing in that event. I love celebrating America with fans

all over this great country on the fourth. And I have been training to defend my title, Chesnut said in his post. Sadly, this decision is Nathan made by Nathan's Famous and Major League Eating, and it will deprive the great fans of the holiday's usual joy and entertainment. Acting like he's Jesus Christ on Christmas. What is going on here? Impossible Foods told ESPN they support Chestnut in any contest he chooses to be in and that

meat eaters shouldn't have to be exclusive just to one wiener. This is awesome. Major League Eating, also known as MLE, said in a statement that it was devastated to find out chestnut had chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs. MLE and Nathan's went to great lengths in recent months to accommodate Joey and his management team. Management team? Yeah, he's a big deal. Really? Wow. I guess when you're getting million dollar, I'm assuming million dollar sponsorships, you probably need a manager, huh? Agreeing to the appearance fee and allowing Joey to compete in a rival unbranded hot dog

eating contest on Labor Day, MLE said in its statement, for nearly two decades we have worked under the same basic hot dog exclusivity provision. Can you imagine these contracts? The wording? You are not allowed to eat anyone else's foot long. If you guzzle another wiener, you're out. Nearly two decades, we've worked under the same basic hot dog exclusivity provisions. However, it seems that Joey and his managers have prioritized a new partnership with a

different hot dog brand over our long-time relationship. In his post, Chestnut said he does not have a contract with MLE or Nathan's and that they are looking to change the rules from past years as it relates to other partners I am allowed to work with. Chestnut owns the top 10 performances at the Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest including downing a record 76 hot dogs and buns in 2021. He ate 62 Franks and buns This is too much fun I gotta talk to the CSPN reporter and say how many funds did you try it try and put into one article

62 Franks and buns to win last year's event. Joey chestnut is an American hero says MLE We would love nothing more than having that at the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. Every year, this Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest gets a longer and longer name. Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, sponsored by the MLE, which has dominated for years. We hope that he returns and he is not representing a rival brand. Chestnut thanks his fans and promise

he wouldn't be away from the spotlight for very long. Well, I don't know enough about this whole industry or profession, if you will. That's where we need Big Will here. We need to check in with Big Will on this. Before the fourth. Yeah, before the fourth. Big Will, I know you're listening.

Get in touch with me or I'll text you. We'd love to have you on that you can explain how all of this goes down. Exactly, because I don't know enough about all of this to comment too much, but I'm very curious as to what a sponsorship entails. Do they, what happens? I guess you wear the shirt

and then you do a couple commercials and then- Make live appearances. Make live appearances at Whole Foods. At like activations, yeah. Yeah, meet Joey Chestnut at the Whole Foods on Market Street and get your Impossible hot dogs. I didn't even know that Impossible made hot dogs, but I guess it makes sense.

It does make sense. It does make sense and probably much better for you than the actual hot dogs you're eating. That being said, I had a damn good hot dog at the ball game. Did you? Astrid's cooking up hot dogs right now. She's cooking up like the little tiny, like you know, Franks and Beans.

Yeah, the Franks and Beans kind. And she cooks them with rice and eggs, like a stir fry hot dog. I'm telling you what, it is fucking delicious. So good. But it's a special kind of wiener. It's not like the long wieners, it's like the tiny little wieners,

like sausage fingers kind of wieners. Micro wieners. Micro wieners, it's like the tiny little wieners, like sausage fingers kind of wieners. Micro wieners. Micro wieners. Eee. Oh, this is so much fun. We could do this all day. We could do a whole episode of this. But I always wonder about those competitive eaters

and their stomachs. You've got to wonder. I mean, my God. I bet Joey's must be dropping bombs. If I ate two of those ballpark Franks, Franks and buns, I'm full. Yes. I mean, you're real full. So I can't imagine.

I guess because you're stuffing it down so quickly, but then yeah, your stomach's got to just expand. Well, didn't Will say that you take a diuretic or something beforehand or you have to practice and stretch your stomach out and then god damn the morning after you got to be miles away from Joey Chestnut or anybody else that does this. Think about too like afterwards when you're like yeah one and you start downing some beers I mean that'll fill you up too. I would go home and sleep for three fucking days I just get up to drop large amounts of diarrhea into the toilet and then walk away. I mean, you have to take some kind of diuretic

to help that stuff move through. Get it through there, yeah. Oh my God, 76 hot dogs and buns. You probably have to down like a thing of Pepto too beforehand just to coat. Yeah, you must. That's where Joey Chestnut should get his sponsorship money from, like Zantac or what. I think Zantac is actually taking off the market. beforehand. Yeah, you must. Just like to coat. That's where Joey Chestnut should get his sponsorship money from. Pepto. Zantac or what? I think Zantac is actually taking off the market, cancer causing issues. But,

you know, one of those brands, you're right, Pepto, Toms, something like that. Tom to Tom Toms. I'm Joey Chestnut. I got an ass like an elephant. You ever seen those elephants? This is totally random. But you ever see those Instagram reels where the people are washing their hands and their face in elephant pee? You ever seen this? No, it's crazy. Why would I?

Why is that a thing? Because you live in a fucking arid desert in Africa where you have no access to clean water or you don't have access a lot to clean water. So people actually wash their hands and their faces with elephant urine. So the elephant is peeing and they just go, they just wash their hands in it.

It's insane. Anyway. Well, that's, is that close to clean water? It's better? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I mean, pee and poop are waste. Well, listen, I'm not the one doing it.

I'm just saying I saw somebody do it. I've actually seen a couple of people do it on Instagram. I don't know, it's a thing. They're showing it and it's a thing. But anyway, that's what I imagine Joey's chestnut's butt looks like after it. It's just like, just streaming poo. But I mean, you know, let's be honest about it. That garbage in, garbage out. You're eating fucking hot dogs. It's not like you're eating fruits and veggies. You're eating hot dogs with buns. They dip them in the water and then they throw them down their throat. Ugh. I don't know why I watch it.

Jaws. Yeah, jaws. That's a talent. No doubt about it. But how long can you live doing that? Do you remember that man versus? 16 years apparently for a while. What happened to that guy, man versus food? Do you remember him? Man versus food host. Yeah, I remember reading about that. He did, he had some kind of really strict regimen of what he did outside of eating those crazy things.

There was a lot of diet and exercise outside of that. Yes. Uh, you have to. There's no doubt that you, you have to. Adam Rickman. And he, and he looks great now. Look have to. There's no doubt that you have to. Adam Rickman. And he looks great now. Look at him. He lost a bunch of weight. So I think Adam did quit. My cardiologist has given me sobering news. I bet he did. Of course, that guy. Joey Chestnut's a champ, no doubt. But making competitive eating and those type of challenges popular, I think man vs. Food had just as much to do with it as anything, it kind of came together in a perfect storm.

And that guy, Adam, he would take down the crazy amounts of food in short amounts of time. I know, it was a wild show. It's not on anymore, I don't think so. It is, but it's a different guy. And I don't think it's called Man vs. Food. It's like Huckleberry. Man with food. Where they just keep recycling.

Different, different, the same people. Now it's another middle-aged chunky monkey, white man that's out there doing these. And he's affable, I've seen the show, he's affable. He's a nice guy, he seems like he's lovely. He doesn't do it quite like Adam did it, but it's different, it's interesting. And I don't think it's called Man versus Food. I think it's man eats food or something like that, because legally,

there was some problem. I mean, imagine Adam died. Imagine Adam had died and his cardiologist was like, because he has 17 block arteries and you only have four. I mean, like, just imagine. It would have been a nightmare scenario for the, what was it, food channel? Food network. Yeah, I think it was a food network. There's so many cooking channels now, food network, cooking TV. There's like a new high end cooking channel. Have you seen this? No. I can't remember what it's called.

I like cooking channels. French word. You can only get it if you pay, you know, an extra $50 on your TV or whatever. But I go to the dentist office. Oh, and they had it on. And they had it on. And it was just like beautiful shots of a far away location, you know, Italy, France, Spain, and then these people cooking it, but it was filmed like a movie. It was like beautiful visually, it was stunning. And they were only making like, you know, fa-fa-flee-flee, you know, welcome to she-she-she, here we're making you a double bonnet, monty-de-bay with a souffle sauce.

And you're like, wow, that's interesting. Beth Dombkowski They bring out the blowtorch. Jared Svelte Yeah, exactly. Anytime they bring out the blowtorch. I got to be honest, some of these food trends have gotten a little nutty. Because I've watched that Instagram and TikTok and I see those guys, you know, they're all trying to be Salt Bae. They're all trying to be Salt Bae. They're all trying to be Salt Bae, throwing salt, you know, making their name for themselves,

doing something interesting, preparing a dessert where they bring it out on some platter with sparklers and the guy comes out. Oh, there's millions of those shows. And he does a dance. Yeah. Baking cook-offs. No, no, no. I'm talking about like the guys who do the flair when it comes up to the table. So, you know, do you know Salt Bae is?

No. Okay. Salt Bae is the guy who throws salt flair when it comes up to the table. So, you know, do you know Salt Bae is? Danielle Pletka No. Jared Sarkissian Okay. Salt Bae is the guy who throws salt on the meat before he goes. Have you ever seen the guy? Danielle Pletka No. Jared Sarkissian Okay. He's very famous and they call him Salt Bae because he would put on the camera and then he would be preparing a piece of meat or steak and he would like take the salt and he would throw it up in the air and then throw it down on the steak like this and he was wearing sunglasses with a ponytail.

I like it. I want to look him up now. He became so famous that when, what's his name, won the World Cup. Now I can't remember. The guy, the famous guy. Anyway. David Beckham? No, not David Beckham. The other guy, the Argentinian guy. Messi? No, not David Beckham. The other guy, the Argentinian guy. Messy? Messy. That's right. So, Salt Bae all of a sudden was out on the field with him and people were like, what the fuck is Salt Bae doing out with Messy? What are we doing? So, now everybody's trying to be Salt Bae with their own thing. Like they, they know how to, they...

Dash it. Yeah, they break out a knife and they go, they twirl it around and then they cut into your cake. I, who cares? It's a cake. People videoing it like they did saw something special. You saw a guy cut a cake. That's what you saw. You saw nothing. There was nothing happened. Stop it. You can't be Salt Bae. There's one Salt Bae. He's always going to be Salt Bae. Leave it alone. So, you come up with your own interesting thing. You can't just piggyback off of it with a knife and a cake. It doesn't work like that. Ask Joey Chestnut.

Joey Chestnut's an original. No other man in the world could take a 76 foot long dong silver down the throat in 15 minutes. Well, it must be too that there's other, and again, we need Will for this, but it must be that there's multiple eating contests going on. Hundreds.

But you're making, you're able to, it's like a circuit. Yeah. You're going around like barbecue contests. That's what I was just about to say. It's like barbecue contests. That's seven little Johnson's is on right now. One of the sons got into barbecuing. He did a contest, he won his first contest or got in second place or something. I got like 150 bucks for it, right? But it's like one podunk little barbecue place in South Georgia or wherever they live. And so imagine you just go around every weekend and you just collect a couple hundred bucks, a couple hundred bucks, a couple hundred bucks. Yeah, or 250,000, which is what the contest that Jeff and them just did.

What? Yeah. What? Smoke Slam. What? Yeah. Inaugural year, they gave away $250,000. To the winner? Well, it was across different categories of things. But yeah. Who fucking cares? $250,000? It's the biggest in the world. We've been doing this show for four years. We, no one's

given us $250,000. That's a fucking insane. What are we doing here? Why aren't we cooking barbecue? That's crazy. What is the first, what did the first place people get? Like 50,000 or something like that? Cause I think the first place person also won in like another category or whatever. They won over like a hundred thousand dollars. No fucking way. Jesus, Jeff, why don't you give a brother a heads up? I mean, we could rig this thing, right? There's no like betting on it or anything, is there? I'm thinking about it.

I mean, I don't know. Is it professional sport? Professional sport? I mean, for God's sakes, there's a major league. Maybe we should start betting. We should start. Yes. We should submit that to the, what is it?

Sport geek or whatever. The MLE. The MLE. Well,LE. I don't know. Well, I'm gonna tell Jeff that maybe he should introduce an eating contest into this. Chrissy, you must do this. It is so easy to fuck with all those contestants. I just go run around and pour some vinegar on their shit

or something, you know? Pour some Ipikak, make them everybody throw up. We can do this. We can rig this eating contest. Great. Yeah. I'm kidding, of course, in case I have to say that. I'm kidding, of course.

Everything goes back to, turns out the commercial break. It was involved in a scandal at Smoke Slam. High scandal at Smoke Slam in Memphis, as three million people are made sick after watching Beck and the Fugees. Massive diarrhea, not enough porta-potties. Organizer Jeff Hoadley is now in jail indefinitely. And while we're at it, get them for the two live crew thing too.

All right. Let's take a break and when we come back, I have a brand new, it's Friday, so we're going to do a video. I have a brand new psychic. I've had some conversations on the interwebs with some folks about Teresa Caputo and I thought I would just branch out a little bit to prove that this is not just Teresa Caputo who does these cold readings terribly. There are lots of people who have put themselves out there and we'll introduce ourselves to a new one when we get back. All right? Let's do it. Take a break. We'll be back.

Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath and now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right, it's 212-433-3TCB. And you can text us anytime you want. Or you can call and leave us a voicemail, and we might just use your message on the show. Once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on TCBpodcast.com.

So I have been shitting and chatting with some people about Teresa Caputo. You know, we have been longtime critics of Teresa Caputo. And let me share something with you. Actually, I think I already shared this with you. Let me share this with you. Critics in that we think it's a show. We think it's a sham.

Yeah. Yeah, we think it's a sham and it's a scam. And we certainly are not the end all be all of everything. We don't know for certain 100% that it's a scam could very much be real and to each their own, if that's what you choose to believe in, I don't think any less of you. It's just not my personal belief.

We think it's an old circus show that's now modern. Yeah, it's a circus trick. That's what it is. So I went and I asked AI, hey, AI, what is Teresa Caputo and the commercial break? How are they related? How do they interact with each other? And here's what chat, chat GPT said back to me. You ready? Yes. Teresa Caputo, also known as the Long Island Medium, is a well-known television personality and medium who claims to communicate with the deceased. On the commercial break podcast hosted by Brian and Chrissy, Teresa Caputo is often the subject of their humorous commentary

and discussion. Oh, ChatGPD thinks we're humorous. Yes, well, they probably read our website and said, well, they think they're humorous. The hosts frequently bring up Teresa Caputo in their episodes to poke fun at her television show, her persona, and her claims of psychic abilities. They use her as a source of comedic material, much like they do with other quirky and interesting public figures. This lighthearted and irreverent take on Teresa Caputo adds to the entertaining and comedic nature of the commercial break podcast.

Their discussions about Teresa Caputo are meant to be entertaining and not necessarily an in-depth critique or analysis of her work. Instead, they serve as another example of the host's ability to find humor in almost every situation. So that is what chat GPT OpenAI thinks of our conversations about Teresa Caputo. And it's right. It's not meant to be the end all be all. We're not scientifically in the know here. It's our opinion.

It's our opinion. But how do we know this is a circus trick? Because you can see it repeated over and over again by almost every psychic who does these type of readings called a cold reading. They start with a very broad brush and they start to paint in the details as you give them body language or actual words that say you agree with what they're telling them. It says that I'm on to something. I got to go to this person. I got to go to that person. Not the first to do this, Teresa Caputo, and certainly won't be the last to do this. Oh, it's been going on since like the 1800s, 1700s maybe. For a long time. I think that, you know, kings and jesters and courts, you know, they all

had some weird, they'd throw, I don't know, marbles in the water, bums. I think I saw maybe one time when they consulted the bones. Oh yeah, yeah, chicken bones. I think it said bums. And I was like, that's highly sensitive, Chrissy. They're not bums. No, bones. Bones. I know, I get it now.

Yeah, but I thought that's what she said. And I was like, I think we got to edit that out, actually. There's very little editing out here at the commercial break, but that might be one of them. Okay, so I found this guy named, this gay named, it's a guy. What is going on with us today? I don't know. It's Friday. Yeah, it is. James Van Progg is an American writer and personality describes himself as

clairvoyant and a spiritual medium. He has written numerous books. He's been on CBS, and lots of people are skeptical of his work. Well, I just found out about this guy a couple months ago and I've been watching some of his videos and I think he's just as bullshitty as Teresa Caputo is. Not sure how, where he's getting his information, but he does things a little bit differently as he picks the audience ahead of time and puts them into a room. I think some of them are quote unquote skeptical and some of them are quote unquote, you know, on board with what he's doing. So, let's take a listen to James on a local television network. I think this is in Chicago. Look at the guy. Okay, so what we're seeing, what we're looking at right now is James sitting on a

couch and then the two hosts of the show are standing behind him. There's a guy and a girl as the host. The guy has a look on his face that tells you everything you need to know about his belief in James. He does not believe in James. He looks like, why do we have this guy on the show? Yeah. All right, let's take a listen. Yvonne Prague, we also have several volunteers from our audience here. James has not met or spoken to any of them prior to this. And James, we'll let you do your thing. Okay, thank you very much. I'm into it. We'll let you do your thing. Thank you very much. I'm into it. Beth Daly We'll let you do your thing.

James Daly Thank you very much. I'm into it. Hi. Hi, y'all. It's me, James Daly and Prog. Don't mind if I talk to your dead uncle for a second, do you? Okay, thanks. Great. I'm so into it. James Daly That's okay. So, a lot of people coming around here, but I want to go with the brother that passes over and I'm here. Brother that passes over. I want to say, and what is your name, please? Beth Daly Cheryl. James Daly Cheryl Lee.

James Daly Cheryl Lee. Cheryl Lee. He wants to make sure he gets it right and he talks a certain way and he has to make sure it's always right. He's sorry he did this. I don't know why he's talking about being sorry. He regrets it. Sorry he did this. Because no one's ever had any regrets in life. Yeah, but was he saying sorry he did this when he did his hand gesture? Or no, he's just in general. Sorry he did this. Chrissy, it's all part of the confusion. He hopes to add layers of confusion so that people just kind of guess, right? He's sorry he did this. Like, anybody has ever died without a regret

in their life. You have a brother and he's sorry he did something. Chris, I'm passing. I got to say that to you. I don't know why he wants me to say this, he didn't finish things up and he's sorry about that. He's also talking about his father, and he wants to talk about connection with his father, and why not loving his dad, his dad over there as well, isn't he? Yes. Because he wants to say he's meeting with his father, he's connecting with his father, he's healing with his dad. Can I say that to you? Oh, cool.

And he wants to tell you that. Oh, cool. Cool. Yeah, don't believe a word you say. Cool. Cool, he's healing with his father on the other side. This lady seems really connected. She's like, cool. Yeah. All right. Much so.

Thank you. So, I guess, I'll be very quick, there's a lot of people here. I feel a mom with you. Oh, then that was it? Oh, yeah, yeah. There's a brother that's healing with the dad. With the dad. Is the dad on the other side?

Because I don't know that. Because I'm talking to the dead, but I don't know who they are. Come on, man. You didn't know that? Olga, would you hold the microphone, please, Olga? Yes. Oh, okay. She said something about the mother and then the lady said no He moved on to the next lady. The other comes in with a lot of beautiful colors on like dress She can finally dress beautifully. I need to tell you she loved to dress beautifully. They're very together The the pocketbook matches the dress and the gloves is wearing the gloves. She speaks some different language. The pocketbook messes the dress and the gloves, she's wearing the gloves, she speaks different languages. The pocketbook matches the dress and then there's shoes and he has hair. Is there anything that's

resonating? There's a pocketbook. I see a pocketbook. Has your mom ever owned a pocketbook? Yeah, also, you just said she speaks another language. She does. He's speaking with someone named Olga. Yes. So, I would think that there's some kind of other history there. Listen, came right in through my head. Don't even worry about it, Chrissy.

You don't need to know the magic of my abilities. I'm clairvoyant. But she's very proud about education. She's finally finishing education. This lady is completely... She's finally finishing her education. She's finally... She's gone back to school.

She finally got her degree. She's at God U. She's at HU, not Howard University, Evan University. It's a two year school, but she'll get around to getting her advanced degree later. Her's a pretty good time. Yeah, she's working on her graduate degree. But she wants to tell you that. And she talks about two boys.

So, and who's the two boys? Okay. Yeah, she- Olga goes, okay. graduate degree. Jared She's going to church, she's throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks. There's two boys, I see her turning like a spit roast. I think it's double penetration, but I'm not sure. Oh, wow. I'm sorry, Olga. I don't mean to do this on your dead- Mother. Well, not on your- She doesn't, who's the two boys on?

She has no idea. She's clueless. Olga hasn't given one indication that any of this makes sense to her. But she's on TV and she's older, so she's probably like, I don't want to call this guy out, because it's just like, people were different back then. They actually had respect for other human beings. To go to church and I need to say my prayers and she wants to thank you for the prayers. She said you have an old photograph of her on a dresser.

Oh yeah, no one's ever had their dead mother on a dresser. Or a picture. No picture of your mother. No. No, no, no. You have a picture of your mom anywhere, Christine? Yes. Oh, okay.

Just checking. I saw it. I saw it in the back of my brain. She came through me. And she's on a dresser. Yeah, she kicked me right in the potatoes, which is my sign that the picture's on the dresser. Left side of the dresser, she's telling me.

Right. I also want to tell you that you- On a website or on the dresser. Left side of the dresser, she's telling me. I also want to tell you that you would- On a website or on the dresser? Did he say website? He said on the website or on a dresser. On a website. Night, night, what? Or night robe or you kept it for a long time

or night gown for a long time. Also she tells Bethany- Right, right, no I didn't. For helping feeding her at the end, helping care of her at the end, because you helped take care of her. It makes sense. Yes. And you didn't want her to go anyplace. You want to take care of her as well. She also has some sisters on the other side. So I'm going to say that. Yes.

Two, not two, two sisters. Yes. And she's with on the other side. And she's giving something named Anna or on something. I hear Anna on something. She's watching over Not Anna not Anna I had four sisters very very much. So you gotta watch your eyes She said recently they was talking about you gotta watch her eyes. She's wearing glasses. No, I think the mother's telling her Oh, you gotta watch your eyes. She's wearing glasses. Yeah, you gotta watch your eyes Which 80 year old isn't watching their eyes and how do you watch your eyes. She's wearing glasses. Yeah, you gotta watch your eyes. Which 80 year old isn't watching their eyes?

And how do you watch your eyes? You gotta stare in a mirror. I don't know. This guy is talking just so fast that no one has a chance to respond. Yeah. It's like Teresa. Teresa disarms people with jokes or talks louder

or screams toward you or, you know, will tell you that you're wrong altogether if she doesn't think it's going well. This guy just talks really fast, adding a cloud of confusion to the situation where you don't know how to respond even. And he's talking so fast and saying things, throwing things so fast at you that you don't have a chance to disagree with it before he moves on to the next thing. That could be true. That's right. The doctor had your eye checkup. Does that make sense to you? Yes, it does. Because you said, no, you've never been to an eye doctor.

The lady's wearing fucking trifocals. I think she's been to an eye doctor. Oh my God. Make sure you watch your eyes. Nothing bad, but you have to watch your eyes, okay? Okay. You're a very lovely lady. She keeps on saying, I appreciate it.

I appreciate it. I appreciate it. She also talks about losing a child. There must have been a child early on that she lost a child when she was younger, and she's with a child over there. So, you must have a relative sibling that passed over. Right. And we're young, very, very young. Yes, yes.

She's with a sibling. Very, very much. You're doing good work. You keep on talking a lot, a lot, a lot. Sorry, guys. No, you're the one that's talking a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. He's doing the same thing that Teresa does. How do you know, how can you even possibly hold on to this conversation while someone else is talking to you? That would be next to impossible. I just don't think it's possible. I really don't. Danielle. She has, you have a lot of her books, she said, books. You have a Bible of hers as well. I want to talk about rosaries, some kind of rosary beads.

Jared. Yes, I do. Danielle. I talked about the candle, which is either a saint or something religious on it. It must be Catholic. It's very much a candle. Nicole Soule-North Well, you went rosary and she said yes, so then of course you're going to go candle. Jared Soule-North Yeah, and you're in Chicago. There's no Catholics in Chicago. There's only Catholics in Chicago. Nicole Soule-North There's a carmine, carmilla, carmen, carmen.

Give you that name. Yeah? Nicole Soule-North Yes. Nicole Soule-North So, lots of love from her, okay? God bless you, sweetheart. I want to go to this gentleman behind you. Lots of love, lots of love. She's finished up her degree. Yes, my pretty, your mom's finishing over.

Check her eyes. There's a, Carmen, Carmen, yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hello, sir, look at you all sparkly, love that. Thank you. What's your name? Nate. Nate, Nate, can I say there's a man behind you, I feel he's a father figure as he comes

in here. I also feel there's a man behind you? I feel he's a father figure as he comes in here I also feel there's an uncle on the other side of you. So you'd have an uncle over there who knew you very well Can I say that's you absolutely and this man wants to wave to you? He's a person First he said father and Nate didn't really go Uncle And he's now he's dancing. I just got to say this to Uncle. And then he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And now he's dancing. I just got to say this too. He's dancing. He's like, he's dancing in front of me. He wants you

to know that the party's going down over here. So come on over. Water's warm. Bring your dancing shoes, Nate. He says they got that good good, that 70s soul you really like. So come on. There's some barbecue going on. Did you know you could win $250,000 in God credits over there? I see a guy named Jeff having a barbecue contest. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. I like to laugh with this man. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. That's great. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. And he's waving to you. He's waving to you almost like this. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. Okay, that makes no sense whatsoever, but okay. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. In the military.

Jeffery Hicks, Jr. Yes, indeed. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. Because I'm saluting finally to you here. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. Absolutely. Jeffery Hicks, Jr. And your father is coming in. Jeffery Hicks,. Because I'm saluting finally to you here. Okay. And your father is coming. You should see this guy, James, the psychic, he is dancing across the stage. He is making all kinds of movements. He wants you to be as confused as possible. So you never would believe this sort of thing. You know, I would never believe this sort

of thing is real. But it is. He said it is. And there's a William or a Bill talking about a William or a Billy. Billy or William. Oh, right, right, Willie, yeah. I once ate in Willie's barbecue shack down on 7th Street. William. William. William. Who's that? I don't know. It's dad's brother. Okay, because I know that he's over there with him. I also want to tell you that there's a lady in the spirit world who knows of you So a lady in the spirit world knows of you and I feel like not a mother feeling this. Oh, okay There's a lady that knows of you. Narrow it down a little bit. I mean a lady of the spirit world that knows of you You're famous with dead people. It's like the commercial break kind of fame We're pretty famous with dead people also

Really? I feel closer to you than that. I don't know if you have my heart from this lady. She's a godmother and she just passed last year and she was really like a mother figure. Okay, you have her heart. You said godmother. Yes. But I want to say heartmother because I feel she raised you up. She brought you up. She believed in you, you see, she believed in you. And I also want to talk about a piano. And when you were a young boy, was there a talk about playing the piano, taking piano lessons? Actually, I tried to play the piano for a little while, but I had a teacher and she

would slap me on my finger every time I didn't hit middle C. So I started playing after that. No kids ever taking piano lessons. No, that's rare. Jared Larson Yeah. And I have a feeling while these people were handpicked from the audience, somebody knows their name, has a Facebook page that's open, James is going off information he already knows. He's taking broad strokes and then he's filling in some general details that he might know from social media or just from, you know, there's lots of websites out there that track this kind of stuff that for $1.99, you can pull up all the information about anybody, old addresses, old phone numbers, relatives that have passed away, names. I mean, there's all your information

is out there to be bought. Go on Google and do it. Jared Sussman This godmother, the heart mother, I'm going to say, is very much around the piano. She's met that piano teacher. I would not be a bit surprised, sir, if you will find the piano teacher. She's met that piano teacher. Okay. Okay. Just, just, just checking.

I can't stop laughing. She's met that old piano teacher. Oh, that old piano teacher. You know that one that used to beat you up? She's really very nice now. She changed her tune after she died. It'll come to you, something about a piano's gonna come into your life because they're gonna make it happen.

And mother's on the other side as well, is she, your well as she, your mom. Because I want to say she's waving here too. Don't forget about me. She's a little shorter than your father and she's like, wait, don't forget about me. Man, you've got the uncle saluting, dancing. You've got the mother, don't forget about me. What about the heart mother? The piano teacher? Practice your skills! Slacker! Don't read me fossil latin! C sharp Nate!

C sharp! Nate, Jake, whatever his name is, can't remember. Someone keeps the newspapers. Keeps old newspapers. This lady used to keep old newspapers a lot and she's reading, she's reading. She's telling me that. Yeah, nope, nope, not me.

Also, he's older. Yes. And anybody that was older than him probably read newspapers, might've kept a few clippings. Yes, believe it or not, CNN is a relatively new thing. It was started back in the late 80s or something like that. I mean, it hasn't been around for very long.

If you're older than 70 years old, you remember a time when there was one newscast, or maybe two, the national and the local news. And before internet, there was the newspaper. Newspaper, that would get delivered right to your home. It was Instacart before Instacart. They were delivering bad news right to your home. It was Instacart before Instacart. They were delivering bad news right to your door. That's true. And it was, I remember, I still remember my father got the newspaper. My grandfather got the newspaper. My dad got the

newspaper. I think my grandfather got it, I think till the day he died. I'm not really sure. Oh, yeah. But they would keep those newspapers for weeks because they were 700 pages deep. They were huge. Yes, and you couldn't read it in the day. Especially the Sunday. Oh, the Sunday was the jam. Look at that Sunday paper. I remember for a period of time, I bought the Sunday paper. I did too.

Yeah, I was like, oh, Sunday paper. All right, I'll grab it. Why not? And I'd sit on the shed door and just read through it. Now I look at Instagram videos of people washing themselves in elephant urine. Man, how things have changed. He's about your game. Yes, I've evolved. Just to keep a lot of old things. You might have had a hard time getting rid of things, she said.

I kept everything. Okay, okay, don't remember that. She died without a name. Sing to her name. I kept everything she's talking about. And I don't know, I'm sorry your father had trouble with walking before they pass over and they had to be bedridden for a bit. I don't remember.

I don't remember. How do you not remember? I don't remember. Aren't they there telling you? Yeah, aren't they there? Don't forget about me. Where are those dead people? They're not right there with you? He says, I don't remember because he was studying the notes before he came on. All right, let's take a short break and then we'll be back with more. I like this guy. We're onto something here. All right, we'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Kristina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio,

video, and TC video. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCBpodcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB phone number you will ever have to remember. So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3TCB.

Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB. Oh, and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash the commercial break. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. Okay. Let me fill in a little color commentary before we get started. James has actually been in a bit of scandal over the years. In 2008, he told Barbara Walters in a private

psychic reading that she may have cancer because he sensed that her white blood cell count was elevated. And after a number of tests, they were not elevated. She went on air to call him a dangerous psychic. John Oliver busted on him just as late as 2019. I'll have to look that up. I'd like to see what John has to say about it. The JREF Foundation, which offers a $1 million paranormal prize to anybody who can prove scientifically that paranormal activity is real and that, or that you have actual psychic abilities. They do tests like, you know, they'll write a number down on a piece of paper and then they'll try and have the person

guess it or whatever, you know. And they, through the Huffington Post, challenged James to a one million dollar proof of concept opportunity. They were going to give him one million dollars to prove that he could talk to the dead in some way, shape or form. I've seen these before. They do them on TV sometimes. And every one of them has failed. No one has actually collected the $1 million prize ever in the history of the prize, which has been going on since like 1970. He announced it on the Johnny Carson show, like in 1970. No one's ever won it. And James- Well, no, because they can make over a million just going on these shows and getting people's money.. No one's ever wanted. And James... Well, no, because they can make over a million just going on these shows.

That's true. And getting people's money. I think it's dangerous that the media continues to proliferate... My mouth doesn't work. They continue to amplify these people because it can be dangerous. You're giving people false hope and in some cases, telling them that they're sick when they're not sick. Imagine how stressful that must be. If you believe in this and then one of those psychics...

It's one thing to say like your dead mother is behind you saying she loves you, but to tell somebody that they've got cancer and Barbara Walters of all people... Of all the people you want to take that chance on, Barbara Walters was not one of them. That was one bad bitch right there. Did she die recently? She did, a little while back. Yeah, before I said... All right, let's get back to James. Doing a cold reading on a Chicago, local Chicago television station, I believe.

You understand that. So I'm going to say your father is able to skip around again. Now, I'm going to tell you, when I first got up here, I was skipping. He's able to skip around again. He's got no body. What? What? You're talking to the spirits, but they're able to skip around? What are the good groceries are you talking about? I'm skipping. And your daddy, your daddy wants me to tell you he's able to do that. Got to tell you he's able to do that. I want to say a memory of ball. He's totally unconvinced, by the way, the guy he is talking to and look on his face That says you are full of fucking shit

Who believes in the right mind that after you die you then can magically heal your body that was broken Yeah, true, I'm going you're a good point Chrissy Boy, I go back in time with the memory of ball. You understand that? Back in time with the memory of a ball. The memory of a ball. With you and your father. Yeah, because no one ever played ball with their dad. I mean, come on.

It's like the first word we all learn as a human. Ball. Ball. That's so stupid. What was it? Whatever it was, I was not good at it. Okay. Oh, well was not good at it. Oh! Well, you did your best.

You did your best. Absolutely. Absolutely. Hate sports altogether. Thanks for pointing that out. Failure at the piano. Couldn't play piano. Didn't do well in sports.

Daddy hated me. But thanks for bringing it all of it up. I won't sleep tonight. I appreciate your help. One more thing. Your father is, he said to tell you that some money is coming in or some changes in finances for you and I don't know if you've been looking for someone alone or you're trying to get something else with money,

but something's coming in for you. Jared Sussman No one's ever looking for money. Jared Sussman No one's ever looking for money. Jared Sussman No! Jared Sussman You can say that to me and I'd be dancing around the house hoping that it happened. I think you're talking about me, James. Skipping. Skipping. Skipping around the house.

Saluting. Yes, waiting for the check to come. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Saluting, waving, all that stuff. That's me. It makes a lot of sense. Okay, because I've got to tell you, he wants to tell you that's happening.

And I'm going to leave you with that, okay? And if I may just say, right before he made his transition, he told me, said, you know, I played the lottery and most of the time I don't win. He said, but here's some numbers and I can only tell you it was some big money that he left for me. Oh, great, great, great, great, great. There you go. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. Wow. Okay. Someone get a hold of him. Tell him to come on the commercial ring and give us those

secret numbers. The lottery, secret numbers. Well, if his dad left him a bunch of cash that he didn't know about, that's crazy. I wonder how many people win the lottery and then don't tell their family. There's got to be a couple of people out there, right? Beth Dombkowski Probably. Jared Svelter That's probably what I would do. I'd be like, sorry, honey, can't afford milk today. I'll be right back. Going to Aruba. I'll be in the mail. I'm going to get milk. In the mail, dives.

See you later. I want to go over here. I have a mom over here as well. Thank you. Is it your mom? I want to go right to you with a mom over here as well. What is your name, sweetheart? Rochelle.

Rochelle. Great. Lovely. He's now moving around. There's like 10 people, five sitting on a couch, five standing up behind them. Say that they're random audience members he's never talked to. He may have never talked to them, but I have a hard time believing that no producer ever talked to them either. They're all dressed very nicely. It seems like they were ready to come on the show and do this. And now he's picking people and here's

how he's picking them. He's looking for signs that other people believe, like they're shaking their head, they're nodding their head. He's looking for the believers out of these 10 people and he's pointing to them. A woman you are Rochelle. Thank you. I feel it's a big family on the other side of life for you with your mother. I feel there are big people, a lot of big family over there. I want to say that your mother didn't know everyone. Like they're literally big. They're eaters.

Competitive eaters. Competitive eaters. Joey Chestnut is here. Is he your brother? That sounds very interesting, but she didn't really realize certain relatives or certain members of the family until she passed. Does that make sense? Yeah. People don't know everybody ever that was ever on their family. Yeah. You know, my dad sent me down once at a restaurant. He called this big meeting. He was like, I need to talk to you. I'm coming to Atlanta. I got to get you. I got this for lunch. I'll pay it. I'm like, okay, great. And he came and he had a box full of pictures. Those pictures were from like 1919. I mean, you know, he starts taking them out and he says,

this is your great Uncle Dave. And this is a great man. He came from Ireland. And this guy came from there. And he did this. You know, it was all very nice. It was a nice lunch and everything. And like, it was free. But I was like, okay, what do I care? I'm sure I'm going to meet some of those people if there is another side, if someone is over there. I'm sure all those people are just going to come rallying to my side, because who gives a fuck, honestly? No one knows all their relatives. Jared Sussman Two different types of families, or she didn't know everyone until she passed over. Okay.

Jared Sussman Does that make sense she didn't meet any of the other dead people until she herself was dead? Does that make sense? Is that resonating with you? Are you getting what I'm saying? Do you have a sister who's living? Yes. Okay. I need to talk to you about your sister, she said. Now, go on. Your mother's telling me, go on, she loves your hairstyle. Go on. He keeps on saying, go on.

She loves your hairstyle. She loves your hairstyle. My daughter, she changes her hairstyle all your hairstyle. She loves your hairstyle. My daughter, she changes her hairstyle all the time. Every day she changes things up. The lady is obviously wearing a wig. Wig, yes. Likes it about you.

Well, thank you. And right now, oh, is that right? I found out the most interesting information. She said, right now, if I go to your place where you live, and I'm not going to tell you this, but she shows me that you like clothing very much. And she says, that house right now, she showed me a pile of clothes on top of a dresser. It's almost like I went to a sale and had some clothes and they put them out of the bags. Oh my God.

No one's ever had clothes in their bedroom. No, going to a sale. Clothes. You're going to a sale. She's telling me you wear shoes. Sometimes you put on underwear. I see an underwear drawer. Do you have an underwear drawer? I see that you neatly put your socks next to your underwear in the underwear drawer. Next to your underwear and the underwear drawer. Ugly boogly. Go on, go on. He's talking to the dead people in here.

Go on. Oh, that's interesting. Oh my God. This guy must be a hoot at dinner parties. Oh yeah. I'd like to have him over. Does that make sense to you? Yeah.

Yes. She's bringing me to like a bedroom area where I see clothes on top of a dresser. And it's almost like I went to get a sale. I went to get some clothes. And she's very much- She's taking me to like a bedroom area where I see clothes on top of a dresser. And it's almost like I went to get a sale, I went to get some clothes. And she's very much- She's taking me to a bedroom area. Where have you traveled to? I've seen you standing right here the whole time, but that's amazing. Yeah.

Yeah. She showed the bedroom. Man, this guy's got some back to the future magic or something. He's got a DeLorean somewhere. I know it. I'm loving that. She's, oh boy, I got to tell you this feels like two fathers, two men for her in her life. Two different men. Very much at her heart.

Oh, thanks. Call her mama ho. Stop it. The woman all of a sudden part of like, what? Yeah, she's like, huh? Two men. Two men. What if he says, what if your daddy's not your daddy? Do some homework. Wow, how interesting. She had two brothers. Two brothers. Yeah, that's fine.

Yeah, that's fine. That might be it. Yeah, but what it really is, is she was sucking a lot of cock. I just, I don't know how to say it out loud. I don't want to embarrass you here in front of everybody, but I do have to make more money. Jared Sussman But I want to say to you also though, she's talking about two different fathers here. So, was there a father that raised you and then there was another man who was like your dad? Jared Sussman That sounds horribly racist, by the way. I'm just going to share that, that I think this guy's making a lot of assumptions based on

the color of people's skin, which we've seen Teresa Caputo do over and over again. The racist witch. Anyway, this guy's following the same playbook. And there's a theme too where they mentioned their hairstyles. Remember that one where Teresa was like, yeah, and that guy and he's got like some curly hair and faded and shaved on the sides. And that guy was like, no. Because he's black? Yeah, and that guy was like, no. Come on. This feels like a step beyond casual racism. This feels like complete stereotyping, you know, the black lady doesn't have a dad.

It's like, dude, you're... Now you've pissed me off. I was having fun with it, but now I see your game here and it doesn't really sit with me all that well. Let's see what she says.etka No, just your dad. Jared Sussman Oh, yeah, no, you racist white man. Danielle Pletka Now he's embarrassed, now he doesn't know what to do. He's like, oh, I got caught. I got caught.

Danielle Pletka And she also is talking to me about, she wants, okay, the man, who was the drinker? Jared Sussman Oh my God. Really? Really? Danielle Pletka Who was the drinker? Oh my God. Really? Really? Who was the drinker? I can't believe that this is like not out on the internet somewhere where someone just broke it up by like Instagram clips or something. Maybe it is. I don't know. I don't see all the internet. I just see most of it. Who drank? You understand about that? My father drank, but he had stopped before he had. But he can't tell where your dad is. Yeah before he passed. But he likes to drink. He likes to have a drink every once in a while. He's with your mother and he's laughing. Now she's giving me the light attitude, the funny attitude here, but he's right behind her staring

and thinking, wow, this is something else. He's like, go have a drink every once in a while. He wants you to lighten up and have a drink every once in a while. Oh, I do. Oh great! Let's just continue the alcoholism. Let's encourage the drink. Lighten up and have a drink! Yeah, lighten up, have a drink, get lit every once in a while. You ever smoke any of that crack cocaine we've been hearing about? It's not because you're black I'm saying that. It's because you're black.

What the fuck, dude? Unbelievable. You must have been recently having a drink, because your daddy was around you. Yeah. You must like your wine or something. Yes, I do like wine. Yes, you do, because he just said, wine. She likes her wine.

So I like that about you. He also talks to me about your teeth. So you either went to the dentist recently or something about your tooth. Yeah, I need to get it fixed. You get it fixed. He said he was with you with a dentist thing and don't worry about that You might need to call him in with you dude, don't worry about that rotten tooth in your head It's nothing to be worried about but keep drinking

keep drinking Very happy with everything that worked out. She before she passed over. I feel a bit depressed with your mom I feel like I'm a bit um, cuz they lonely or I feel feel a bit depressed with your mom. I feel like I'm a bit, um, can I say lonely or I feel like I'm in my own world. And I feel like I'm kind of lost. Yeah. No one ever feels that way when they're dying. I mean, come on. My own head. It makes sense to you because I feel like I'm kind of in my own little space here. And I, I don't know if she was in a coma or she was going through an episode. She had just got out of the nursing home with her foot. It was a light in the dark. And then she came home.

Okay. Yeah. And I want to talk about falling down at one point. Someone fell down at one point. No one in a nursing home has ever fallen. I don't want to talk about the falling down. It was me. I'm drunk. It was me last night after my wine. Keep drinking. Do we want to get something that she doesn't fall down? Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Because I want to talk about my hip as well. And I also want to talk about, come on,

she said, not anymore, not anymore, not anymore. And she's happy. Not anymore, not anymore. She's telling me about that. Yeah, I'm glad to hear that. No longer have a body. So no more falling down. Yay! Or no more hips. No body, so no more falling down. Yay! No more hips. No more hips, no more dicks. All right. Who's your daddy? You know, we're not even halfway through this video. I feel like we have a new mark.

Yes, we do. Oh, James, you're on the bad side of the commercial break. Uh-oh.

As I do with Teresa, I welcome you on the program. I will keep an open mind and I will be nice to you. And we can talk about it. But I don't want a reading. I want you to tell me exactly how this all goes down. And then Chrissy and I have a secret word that we've told each other that we forgot, but we'll get another one.
