I love being dramatic because why would you ever deal with any emotion in a logical way when you could have the option of absolutely
losing your mind?
On this episode of the Commercial Break.
And he said, so what I do is, you know, all these conversations are being listened to,
by someone, I'm not listening for the content of the conversation, I'm listening to hear
if I say something.
And if I say code word.
And then if I say something or they hear that something's yuckles
The next episode of the commercial break starts now
Welcome back to the commercial break I'm Brian green. This is the crazy Karen herself of the commercial break Chris enjoy
Holy best to you, Chris. Best to you right? Best to you out there in the podcast universe
I say that with all the love and affection in the world. I was about to say I'm no crazy kid. You are my crazy Karen
You're my crazy white lady Karen right here on the show. I'm gonna get you to go talk to Juan and the boys
It's crazy. We're talking about Juan, my landscaper.
Uh, what I've known for years.
Former landscaper.
Former landscaper. That's right.
God damn it, Juan.
Uh...
Bye-bye!
Uh, yeah. I've told Juan
for probably three of the last four years,
four and a half years we've been doing the show.
Please don't do the landscaping
between a certain time and a certain time when we record.
Would you have kind of a set schedule around here?
And I said, please help me out with this
because it gets in the background of the recording
and now we've moved studios a couple of times
and now we're really close to the yard.
So anytime he starts, he spends 15 minutes
right outside his window with the blower.
So I said, please don't do that at D-Rails, the show.
If you could, please, if you don't mind, come over,
come, you know, whenever.
And yeah, yeah, boss, no problem, boss.
No problem, boss.
Come whatever.
Come whatever.
He is taking that literally.
So now it's winter, there is no grass.
I never had any grass in the first place.
I literally, literally have a dirt hole for my yard.
And he's coming four times a week,
all during the time's not requested.
I'm not even kidding.
I asked him the other day, I go,
dude, are you charging me every time you show up?
And he's like, no, it's for every month.
And I was like, oh, great.
Why? This is bad business, Mon.
You got your pay and your guys labor using gasoline to get over
using gasoline and everything that you do.
You're killing the environment.
You're killing what little grass I have.
I know I got up and looked to see what they were doing out
back.
And the one guy was just with a weed eater actually using that
to cut the dirt.
How efficient.
Let's just weed eat my half acre lawn.
That's not a lawn.
To be fair to the guy, it is mostly weeds back there.
So, my bad.
He's just using the appropriate tool.
And I love one.
He's been with me for like seven or eight years,
but I cannot take it anymore.
You've got to stop.
Got to stop. Please.
They were just here on Saturday.
They were just here four days ago, and now they're here again.
That's there's no need for that.
Aster came in here.
He goes, what are they cutting?
I know. I don't know.
They're cutting the dirt.
The dirt's getting out of control. They have to cut it.
Those rocks.
They're getting a little mangy. We have to cut it. Those rocks, they're getting a little mangy. We gotta cut them.
My pull-up boy does the exact opposite.
You know what he does?
I tell him, in the summer, come once a week,
and the winter, come twice a week,
because no one's swimming back there.
I don't care if there's a couple leaves in there.
He comes like once every six months
and tries to charge me every month that I'm like
No, that pool is yellow. It looks like piss. I know you haven't been here and if you have your bad at your job
That's like the 10th pool guy we've had the pool guys are I mean not I'm sure there are wonderful pool guys and wonderful pool cleaning companies
But I just have a shit look with a string of them
for pool cleaning companies. But I just have a shitload with a string of them.
To be fair, it takes me a minute to pay some of them.
So anyway,
Chrissy and I being as hip and cool as we are,
decided we were gonna look at the new TikTok trends.
And what we found was a trend happening
that Chrissy and I have been onto for years and years,
which is what would you sound like if you were a hot dog vendor at the ballpark?
Yeah.
Yeah, we were doing this two years ago.
Yes, because I, since we go to the Braves, I pay attention very closely to the guys who are vending,
guys and girls who are vending, because first of all, that's a fucking tough job walking up and down those stairs.
It is.
And the hot summer fully closed, hanging, you know hanging 30 pounds of hot dogs or beer hanging off you.
But second of all,
they all are just have these weird affectations
that they use when they're trying to get your attention.
Because I think that some of those guys and girls
work on commission, like they get a base salary.
They've got to.
They've got to.
How much they sell.
Otherwise you would just go hang out under the preacher.
Yeah, exactly.
Like I wouldn't be that energetic about my job
if I got paid no matter how many hot dogs I sold.
But if I had to sell hot dogs to make money,
then this is what I would sound like.
Get your hot dog out.
Ah.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
What's the ketchup, ketchup, relish?
No, no, no, no, no, the hot dog, babe.
Yep, yep, yep, yep. What the getcha getcha relish no no no no no hot dog me yeep yeep yeep beer stand close and seven in it get your co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co co He wants to be out! They throw it to you. They're not allowed to do that anymore. They have to.
Then seven people have to pass it. Now I have to be the intermediary between me and the drunk asshole beside me.
Yes. Do me a favor, I need another beer.
And then they've got a pee.
Yeah.
But night goers like bonacole beer.
Cotton candy don't know many.
You would be perfect at it. like bollac old bear, gotten candy don't know many.
You would be perfect at it. I know, I was at the World Series game here in Atlanta.
My brother was at season tickets for years
and he got World Series tickets,
Playoffs and World Series tickets
and it was just like a dream come true for me
because I almost went to the Cubs World Series
when they won the World Series,
but of course I dumb-assedly expected that.
I wait for the prices to go down.
They did not.
They went way up, so I decided.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Solo.
The Brian Green method to getting rich.
But anyway, I love the Braves too, so I was like, oh my God, this is crazy.
This is so exciting.
And my brother was like, I got the tickets and everything.
I swear, we're sitting right behind home plate,
right behind, I mean, right behind home plate.
Yeah, you guys had crazy good seats.
We did, but you know, up a level,
but we were right behind home plate.
Best seats in the house as far as I'm concerned,
because you just really get the look on everything.
You're not like the, if you get right behind home plate,
then you can't really see the pitches that are coming,
like, you know, the umpire standing there.
But if you get up a level,
then it's the best seats in the house.
However, it's also the worst seats in the house because those beer purveyors
and hot dog purveyors, it's like that part of the ballpark.
They all tend to congregate because they think that's where the rich people are.
And then second of all, it sounds like you're in like, I don't know,
it's like echoes, right?
And so it'd be like, I don't know, let me see if I could get you.
I don't want to cotton candy. I'm 40 something years old. I got only three of my real teeth
left. I don't want to make my mouth red like a small child looking a lollipop and get a sugar high
That's gonna cause me to go into a diabetic coma
Cooked them three hours ago here they are fresh ready for you to go purple and green with relish all over
Pass it over six seats.
No.
What if I just refused?
No, I'm not going to pass it over.
Get your own hot dog, asshole.
Cross your arms.
Here we are.
World Series Game.
Everyone's cheering for no reason whatsoever.
Like, you know, I don't't know the ball boy grabs the ball people falling off the
stands and going crazy Atlanta Atlanta's never seen something so exciting but I'm
too preoccupied because I'm passing beers over left and right Like, go light, ruby, doodalala, water, doodalala, seven, eight, dalala, da-da!
Do me a favor, bro, get that beer for me. It's a f***ing gadget!
The gadget's in a home run!
I don't have time!
I don't have time!
I'm trying to watch it.
My brother just paid $8,000 for these tickets.
Can I not pass beer all the time?
And we were like right in the middle of the row.
So every time someone ordered, we had to be the ones passing it back and forth.
And it was terrible, it was terrible.
But if I was one of those beer purveyors,
I would be super good at it
because I would just run around hooting and hollering
until someone paid a tent like right in their ear.
Get your beer!
Yeah!
It's got to put this podcast.
Yes, just Brian yelling.
Hooting and hollering until someone pays a tent. Why not? podcast. He would run around yelling. Brian yelling. That's it.
Why not?
Who's going to complain?
The only thing is you can't turn off.
The guy at the ballpark.
I wish I could.
I just, I don't know.
I loved it when they, you know, they had,
when I was a kid and they had the guys come around
with the cotton candy sticks and sometimes they'd have to Oh yeah. have to go. Baseball ice cream things. I don't know how they had the, when I was a kid and they had the guys coming around with the cotton candy sticks. And sometimes they'd have the,
Oh yeah, I know, it's so fun.
Baseball ice cream things.
I don't know how they made those stay frozen for a while.
I remember as a kid, you had the baseball hat,
the plastic baseball hat, you know,
good for our earth, good for the environment.
And they, they would just like put a couple scoops
of ice cream in there.
And then they would walk up and down in the ball parks
and they would sell them.
And I was always so fascinated
how they actually kept the ice cream cold.
Yeah. Well, they had those freezer bags
and things they would carry on,
but it had to be heavy.
It had to be heavy.
I don't envy those people whatsoever.
I, we were telling the story many episodes ago
about how there's a guy that worked
at the Atlanta Fulton County Stadium.
Then they toured the Atlanta Fulton County Stadium
to make way for Turner Field when the Olympics came.
Turner Field was awesome.
We love Turner Field.
And now they have...
Maybe good times at Turner Field.
Yeah. Now they have the Cobb County Braves have their field up in Cobb County,
which is fine. It's fine. It's a great, great park. Truist Park.
Truist Park is lovely. It's a lovely area. It's fine. It's fine. Okay.
That's all I got to say. No, I actually do like it. I like that.
That stadium is really nice. What's that? The stadium is really nice.
It's smaller than Turner Field, but I think it benefits
the game in that way. Like you feel like almost every seat is a good seat. I've sat in a couple different places and
Trust me. I don't sit behind home plate. Most ball games I'm sitting away from home plate.
But there was a gentleman who worked
at the Atlanta Fulton County Stadium,
saw Hank Aaron hit that, you know, 755 home run.
He was a staple at Turner Field,
Atlanta Fulton County Stadium,
but then about seven years ago,
right before Truis Park opened,
seven, six, sevens years ago. And we knew him. Chrissy and I, not to know him personally,
but we would say hi to him because we worked for the Braves for a period of time, and we would go
to the games, we would go all the time to Braves games, and this guy was famous because he would
throw you nuts. He would take your nuts and he would throw them. And I don't mean nuts nuts.
I mean peanuts for those of you who didn't pick up on the,
on the, on tondra there.
He would throw these nuts and he would toss them like a football,
sometimes 30 feet away.
I mean, the guy was just good at it, right?
He was throwing them, throwing through until one asshole got hit in the head with peanuts
and because she stood up, right?
And I don't know the lady.
I'm sure she's a perfectly lovely lady,
but of course she files a lawsuit.
And she files a lawsuit
because she got hit in the head with peanuts.
I don't know if anybody has ever weighed a peanut,
but they don't weigh that much.
They're mostly air.
You know what I'm saying?
Like a bag of peanuts this big,
the size of two fists is not going to hurt you
in any meaningful way.
But she fell down on the ground and made a big stink about it and sued because that was her big money payday.
And then the gentleman was not allowed to throw the peanuts anymore, which caused some people in the city to go crazy.
They were like, what the fuck? This guy is an institution. He's a legend.
70, you know, I'm saying 70 years, I'm not sure is that many but however many years he's been doing this and one person got hit and
Probably not even hurt and they throw a lawsuit and now you're not allowed to throw them anymore
So now all of us got to be inconvenienced all along the way because of that one it just takes one to ruin it for everybody
You know what I'm saying Chrissy?
It does. It does.
It takes one landscaper to ruin that episode of the commercial break and one yahoo getting hit with some peanuts to ruin it for the rest of us because I
Love that guy. He was awesome. I saw him at the ballpark all the time get your and he was the guy who
And then you'd be like toss him here.
Yeah, you had to get something.
It was part of the game.
Yeah, he'd be at home plate,
and he'd throw it to you in the outfield.
He'd be like, you know what I'm saying?
He'd be across the way.
Get your peanuts.
Ah!
And you'd be like, I want them.
Me.
Do they come.
Woo.
Like both feel the way and they come right to you.
Got it.
Thanks, bud.
It was like you paid the, I don't even know how you got the money actually.
Now that I'm thinking about it.
I know I'm thinking about it.
Maybe he was just losing a bunch of money for the stadium.
Maybe he never collected on all those nuts he would throw.
Maybe the lawsuit was just the executives way of saying,
all right, you've been losing thousands of dollars each game.
I know they're just peanuts, but you got to get the money back because people would pass the money
and if somebody take out a dollar, they'd be like, here you go.
But he didn't care because he was ready to throw the next pack of nuts.
That's right.
This is just the guy practicing.
But he did that and then all of a sudden it came to a screeching halt.
So no one throws them anymore, but they used to throw them.
And I wish it was back that way, to be honest with you. I love a good hot dog at a ballpark.
Oh, a ballpark hot dog is way different than if you just make one at home.
I don't understand. I don't understand the difference. Even the fucking hot dogs that
have the goddamn name ballpark on them don't taste like ballpark hot dogs. And I don't
understand. I mean, they must be some of the like, you know,
they're buying them in huge bulk. They must buy, you know, 10,000 hot dogs a week or something like
that during the middle of the season. You gotta imagine they sell 10,000 hot dogs at a baseball
game here in the county. They cook them and then it's got that perfectly toasted bun too.
Yeah. And they're a little bit longer too, aren't they?
Yeah, they're footlongs.
They're footlong hot dogs.
And now they make like 18 inches or something like that,
but I can't take 18 inches.
I'm too old for that.
You know, a bag of, one of those individual bags
of Lay's potato chips sometimes make me want to take a nap.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the older I get, the less food I can intake without feeling like I have to take a nap or being know what I'm saying? Like at the older I get the less food I can intake
without feeling like I have to take a nap
or being like, oh baby my stomach hurts.
More, you know, white boy complaining, oh my stomach hurts.
But those hot dogs are so good.
Maybe it is the way that they cook them.
Yesterday's water kind of thing.
Maybe it is, yeah.
They just keep the water in there for the whole season.
Yeah, it seasons.
It seasons throughout the season.
Seasons, yeah. Don't throw season. Yeah, seasons. It seasons throughout the season.
Seasons, yeah.
Don't throw away the water, son.
We need that for next season.
Like a cast iron pan.
Yeah, maybe they just like put it in, put that water in the freezer, freeze it, and then
take out the water.
There is a place in Memphis where you can get burgers that are fried, and the burgers
that are fried are the most delicious burger.
It's the single most delicious burger I have ever had
and it is cooked in 100 year old oil.
So they strain the oil, they clean the oil
and they'll add oil as it boils off a little bit.
They'll add oil, but the germinating oil is always in there.
It's been in the same fryer for the same amount of time
and I wish I could remember the name of the place,
but it did not disappoint.
The oil starter, like a sourdough starter.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, like a sourdough story.
It was like an oil starter.
And it was the most like thin, crispy patties,
melted cheese, like just melty gooey,
just, you know, American crappy cheese,
just the lovely stuff.
It almost like you could eat it
without putting any condiments on it
and it would be just as delicious as if you put cond...
And I'm a condiment guy,
like I like to put shit on my burgers.
But I will tell you what is a closed second.
And I don't know if you've seen this.
Oh, now I can't remember the name of the goddamn place.
There's a burger place that has opened up here in Georgia
that apparently they're butter burgers. And apparently they're butter burgers and apparently they are very popular
This place is very popular up in Michigan in Wisconsin
And now they've come to Georgia and Astrid and I had it three times last week
They don't have they didn't even have one anywhere close to where we live, but they have one close to where we traveled
To go see my mom who's up north.
And so anyway, so on this road,
in the middle of almost nowhere, they have this place.
Ooh, you have to tell me about it.
It is the most delicious burger that you can eat.
So here's my top three burgers.
Ready?
For any of you, those of you that come to Atlanta,
but I can't remember the name of the third place,
so you're just gonna have to trust me.
I'll get the name in the second segment
Number one the place in Memphis. So if 100 year oil, I'll find that out for you number two
Me Fred's meat and bread down at Ponce City Market
And number three the other place I can't remember the name of so there you go
If you have a Crog Street market, I'm sorry Crog Street market
So there you go if you ever come to Atlanta now you to Atlanta, now you have... You've got some clues.
You've got one place, you've got some clues.
You'll have to figure it out.
You just go Google, really good cheeseburger Brian talked about,
and then it'll come up.
I mean, they have AI now.
Some AI knows what this is.
Am I right? Am I right? No.
That could be.
Anyway, all right, let's take a break and we'll be back.

It's after bedtime, the kids are asleep
and the moms are out to play.
We're Dina and Kristen,
the duo behind the Instagram account,
Big Little Feelings.
I'm Dina, I'm a child therapist
and mom of two who nerds out
on all things neurobiology and psychology.
And Kristen is a parent coach who wrangles three kids on a daily basis here to give it to us
like it is.
We weren't meant to do this parenting thing alone.
Consider after bedtime your village.
Follow after bedtime with big little feelings on the Odyssey app or wherever you get your
podcasts.
Alright Culver's is the name of the burger place with the butter burgers.
And Dyer's is the name of the Memphis place that you can get the fried burgers.
And they are in fucking credit.
I'm gonna have to try that because I'm in Memphis quite a bit.
Speaking of Astrid and I.
Were you?
Yeah, I was talking about how we went for the burgers.
Oh, that's right. I'm just kind of loosely connected for somehow to make some sense out of this stupid podcast.
Do you and Jeff sleep together in the same bed?
Yes, we do.
Have you ever slept apart for any reason that had nothing to do with sickness?
No.
No, so sickness or travel.
No, you know, Astrid and I haven't either except
with the notable exception of,
we have always slept in the same room basically,
with the notable exception of children and feeding,
the like the first six months of their life,
when you're feeding them.
And so Astrid, with the newest baby of the 31 we have,
decided to, you know, we decided it was easier for her to sleep in the bedroom
so she could feed on demand.
And so the baby didn't have to sleep in the bed with us because we already have 30 of
the children.
Well, you say there's no more room.
Yeah, there's no more room.
So the reason why I ask this is there are, there seems to be a little bit of a trend.
At least people are talking about the trend.
I don't know if it's actually happening.
And I'd be interested to know from the audience who has married or with a long time partner or even a short time partner.
Do you sleep in the same bed?
Because some people, some celebrities are sharing that they don't co-sleep and that they have never co-slept with their partner.
And some celebrities, those who can afford it, I don't know who can afford a house anymore,
but some celebrities who can afford houses are actually sleeping in different houses.
They sleep in different houses.
They sleep in different houses.
Was this Gwyneth Paltrow who said this?
I feel like it was Gwyneth Paltrow who said this about her and Chris Marr.
I don't know.
It could be totally wrong, so don't take anything I say seriously.
But someone shared that they slept in different houses.
They had two different houses.
That's taking it far. Yeah, that's taking it further
I can't even say house with you. What you did get further
My friend who went to further fest fell asleep for the entire thing
On the lawn I go find him and he goes I took it further. You did take it further, bro
Yeah, I find this to be a weird trend.
I read something, I did read something about that.
And it did make me think like growing up,
I would visit my grandparents and they didn't sleep in the same room.
But I think it's because of different sleep habits.
Different people have, you know, or if somebody snores really loud
or one person's a hot sleeper, one person's a cold sleeper.
But the different houses is way on the whack. somebody snores really loud or one person's a hot sleeper, one person's a cold sleeper,
but the different houses is-
Is way out of whack.
I don't understand that.
You might as well not be married.
There's no reason to be married.
I can understand different beds or even maybe different rooms.
I can maybe understand different beds or rooms for sickness
if someone is like a disturbingly loud sleeper,
like I can't sleep,
or as one of those CPAP
machines that make a lot of noise but I don't mind a lot of noise like I turn
on multiple fans I can't understand how Astro can sleep in the same room with me
to be honest with you I've got like a humidifier a noise maker a fan a filter
like I've got all these things going and if they're not all on I don't feel
comfortable going to sleep it's like you and I were talking about this when I go
to the ocean and I get an ocean side condo or hotel or whatever,
I cannot go to sleep unless the doors or the windows are open.
Astrid hates it. She doesn't like sleeping with windows open.
It's just like a security thing for her, like a subconscious security thing.
But that's why I always sleep near the door or window near the beach,
because I sleep like a fucking child. Oh, we live in Jamaica. Yeah, that's all I could hear was the beach or window near the beach because I sleep like a fucking child.
Oh, we're in Jamaica. Yeah, that's all I could hear was the beach or the ocean. I'm sorry,
outside the windows and ugh slept so good. I was like, we don't even need a sound machine.
Live sound machine. Yeah, and the sound machines, they do have the wave sound, but they're not the
same. It's not the same. Well, there's a knowing, first of all, there's the sea air
that you can smell and then also too, you just know.
Your psyche just knows while you're sleeping
that it's right there.
Do you know where I slept the best ever?
And in this particular situation, we did not co-sleep.
It's when we went on the cruise
and they had like a king-size bed
and then they had bunk beds
that pulled down out of the wall.
Oh yeah, you talked about that.
And the bunk beds were right next to the balcony and so I would open the door at night and
there was something so comforting and amazing about the little rock you feel in the boat
because you know these cruise ships now they're made not to rock too much.
They have like these actuators down at the bottom that have offset the waves.
So you, but you're rocking a little bit.
You get that sensation of motion.
And then you have the ocean and the waves
lapping up against the boat as you're moving.
But then also just, I don't know,
something about like knowing that there are other boats
that like a lot of times you could see other boats
off in the distance, like there are lights and stuff.
Something about that just made me feel like a little baby.
I had my binky with me. You know what I'm saying? I did. I felt like I had my binky
and I curled up and watched my bad British television shows and I was like,
oh, I feel so good. Of course that one cruise all I could hear was the other two
people next door talking about how they were cheating on their husbands.
But you know, that's not what I heard over there. But I sleep so well. That's the only way I would
permanently co-sleep is if I, we had an
ocean side villa or house or something like that and Astrid didn't want to sleep with the window
open, I would totally ruin my... Go another room. I totally ruined my marriage just to sleep near the
ocean waves. But I don't understand, and my grandparents too, my grandparents on my dad's side, I always recall, or I recall that when I was young
and we would spend the night there,
when my grandfather was alive,
they had two separate single beds in the room
and then a TV on a nightstand in the middle.
And they always slept that way until the day that he died.
My grandparents on my mother's side had separate beds until
about, I would say until I was like 10 or 12 years old and then they got a queen size
bed and ended up sleeping together. So I know that like, but I think that had to do more
with like traditional roles and households and like religious reasons and what I was
going to say. Stodgy purity bullshit.
I was going to say they didn't even show people on TV in the same bed
No for a long time. No not at all like they were totally in in separate beds at the very least and I don't I
I've read articles where people say it has saved my marriage not co-sleeping
Saved my marriage because my husband snored.
My husband was turning, tossing and turning
and it made really uncomfortable.
Yeah, it was too hot.
My husband would end up, or wife would end up
rolling next to me and he was too hot,
or I was too hot, or whatever it was.
So I guess in that sense,
like you can't ruin your health
just to sleep next to your partner.
Like if you really love each other and it's best for somebody's health,
mental or physical that you go and sleep in another room,
that I could get. And trust me, Astrid's going to get there.
She is going to get there. Right now we have a lot of children in the room.
So it's, I, and I see, I see how Astrid cuddles up to those children.
Not quite the same way she cuddles up to me.
Like she'll wrap my daughter up like this and be holding her all night long.
I get in the bed and she and I put like a hand on Astrid's.
She swats it away.
But yeah.
And then like, you know, sometime five minutes later, she'll just like kind of roll
even further away. And I'm like, well,
I guess I guess I'm not in in Fogue anymore.
No, I'm kidding, of course, I'm just making a joke.
But I have a partner once.
I have this signature move.
Like I cannot cuddle with someone all night long.
That I cannot do.
It's too much.
It is, yeah.
Even, it's uncomfortable, attempting to,
you know, you get the one shoulder and it starts to hurt.
You know, you don't know what to do with the other arm.
It just sits there and it falls asleep.
Or it's painful to wrap your arm around them.
I like to kick my leg up on something like a pillow.
You don't just put a pillow in between my knees
and end up kicking it up on my partner.
I'm just a big oaf who like kinda like.
And so I under, it's just uncomfortable for me
and I know it's uncomfortable for my wife and my other partners.
So a little cuddling at the beginning of the night,
and then you kind of go your own separate ways.
Excited, but we each turn over and send each other
Instagram reels while we forth to each other.
I'm a really hard sleeper.
Hard sleep.
I am, I can sleep through anything.
Jeff, the other morning he was like,
I cannot believe that you didn't wake up.
There was like a huge forklift
outside the house like gathering trees.
Doing all this stuff.
I was like, nope.
Didn't hear it.
Fuckin' thing.
Yeah.
I am a very, very light sleeper, but I have tuned the baby crying out in my mind.
Not on purpose.
I swear to God, not on purpose.
But I'll wake up sometimes and Esther's like, I was up from 1.30 to 5 in the morning with
a baby.
And I'll be like, you were?
Why didn't you call me?
And she's like, or why didn't you get me up? And she's like, I didn't want to bother you. Or sometimes I'll be like, you were, why didn't you call me? And she's like, or why didn't you get me up?
And she's like, I didn't want to bother you.
Or sometimes she'll be like, I tried to.
I was like, and I didn't wake up because blue farts
and I'm up ready to go to war.
I'm like, ah, who is it?
You've turned all things, children off.
Well, that's true.
It also might be so noisy in the room
that I just can't hear anything outside the room.
That's for sure.
But then I feel so bad.
I'm like, God damn, I feel like a bad father
and a bad husband.
I feel refreshed.
I don't feel that bad.
But man, did I get a good night's sleep.
Wow, do I feel good this morning.
Well, sometimes too,
if you really love the other person,
you don't want to see,
like sometimes I really,
like when we were in Jamaica, Jeff napped.
We were napping quite a bit and he was napping.
He was just asleep so peacefully.
And, you know, I wanted them to have that.
If you love them, let them sleep.
If you love them, let them sleep.
If you love me, let me fucking sleep for God's sakes honestly
It drives me crazy when people are waking you up for no reason whatsoever now luckily that doesn't happen a lot in this particular household
but
One of the you you know, I don't I'm just whenever I say you know I do know so it's all I'm talking about one of two people who are just
Bad bad situation anyway
In your past this girl that I hated she would wake me up for no
Fucking reason it'd be like I don't know I'd go to take a nap at noon
It'd be like 12.02 and she'd be like hey hey. Oh, hey, and I'd be like what what's going on?
Why aren't you talking to me? What?
Oh, I'm sleeping.
I'm sleeping.
I'm sleeping.
What's wrong?
We need more salsa.
We're out of salsa.
Yeah.
We're out of salsa.
Or it'd be like a Saturday afternoon,
you know, Saturday golf afternoon
and I'd fall asleep on the couch.
Hey, hey, we need to go do something.
Why?
Well, because we need to go do something.
It's Saturday, we need to go do something. What do you want to do need to go do something. It's Saturday, we need to go do something.
What do you want to do?
What do you want to do?
What do I want to do?
What do I want to do?
I'm sleeping.
That's what I want to do.
I want to take a nap.
And I wasn't as old as I was now.
I was like, you know, can I just take a little bit of a nap?
Fine, I'm leaving.
Why are you leaving?
You can't sit here while I sleep or go do something.
Some people have to feel like they're doing something all the time too, and I'm not one of those not at all
No, please the less I do the better I feel yeah
Yeah, so in that situation I could also see like co-sleeping if you have one of those
It right want to talk to all the people out there who feel like they need to wake somebody up
Just because that person's not up and you are like you're mad that they're sleeping and you're not or you're angry because you want
To do something and they don't that they're sleeping and you're not or you're angry because you wanna do something
and they don't or they're sleeping.
If you love them, let them sleep.
If you love me, let me fucking sleep.
Because sleep is one of the ways
that we protect our brains and our bodies.
And if I'm feeling tired, it means one of two things.
It's because of my advanced age or,
or I don't want to be talking to you right now.
Could you let me fucking sleep?
Could you let me sleep?
If you love them, let them sleep.
If you love them, let them sleep.
I call people all the time and I'm like, hey, what did you do?
Oh, it was such a busy weekend.
We went to a party on Friday night and Saturday.
We got up at 11 and we went to brunch with blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
We had a few mimosas after that.
I went home and I took a nap. I was just so tired so many things going and I want to say to you fuck you
Fuck you
You want to know what a couple things going on means for me that means there's a couple things going on every minute of every fucking
Day I have 31 children. They never stop asking. They never go to sleep at the same time.
They never stop being sick
and they never stop wanting something.
I wish I could nap.
I wish I had your luck.
So I'll tell you what, trade places with me
for five fucking minutes and let me take a nap.
I get so incensed when I call people and they're like,
what, and I'm like, what are you doing?
Oh, I just got up from a nap.
I'm so tired, it's been such a long week.
Now I realize everything is relative, you know,
when you don't have children, you know,
extra meetings in the week could mean
you had a busy week and you're tired,
you're not used to it.
But I just like, I get so incensed when someone says,
I had a nap because I am so jealous
that I can't have a fucking nap.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I wish I could have an nap.
I used to nap.
I have regret to inform you that that's my weekends.
I know, that's why I don't even call you.
I don't even bother with the weekends with you.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't even call Raphael anymore
because he's got kids but they're out of the house
or old enough to take care of themselves.
And so half the time he's napping too.
I'm like, that's fucking awesome.
I wish I could fuck you.
Fuck you, Hill's fucking awesome. I wish I could fuck you. Fuck you, hell!
Fuck you.
I call my brothers, what are you doing?
I just got up from a nap.
You got up from a nap, what are you, three?
God, God, Google, pee, pee, poo, poo?
Get up, come on, baby, come over
and babysit half of my children.
Naps are important.
I know.
I mean, it sounds like you had your time with your naps.
Oh, I did a lot of naps.
Before kids.
Oh, did we do a lot of naps.
Astrid and I often lament the times before children
when we also felt like we were very busy,
but we would manage to get a two hour nap
in every fucking day, every day.
Even when we had just the first child,
he would go down for a nap and so would we.
So would you, yeah. We'd be like, okay, he's gonna be down for an hour and a half quick,
fall asleep.
Yeah.
But we, and we felt like at that time that we were busy.
We were like, shit man, this is, we can't take naps when we want to.
We have to wait till the kid falls asleep to take a nap.
And now there is no nap because no child, no two children even,
out of the 50 that we have, no two children taken out at the same time.
They're all different times.
So what I find myself doing a lot is...
Coming to the studio and sleeping in the tent.
Yes, I wish I could do that too.
But I got blue, gonna open the door with our paws.
There's a pillow, I see a pillow.
That's for my back.
That's for my back.
That's huge.
I know, it's a yoga pillow. I think for my back. It's a huge.
I know.
It's a yoga pillow.
I think I did ayahuasca on that pillow, actually.
I think I did.
I think that's the pillow that I brought.
It looks like a good ayahuasca pillow.
It's a great ayahuasca pillow.
Got some friends on it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Luckily, I didn't throw up directly on it.
Yeah, good.
So here's what I find myself my days are filled with.
I am either working, feeding,
one of the 50 things that needs feeding around here,
or in constant states of putting them to sleep.
Like I'm literally moving from one child.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.
And one of my kids needs a song, song all the time.
Before they go to sleep
And I'm the only one that can do it
She will scream her full head off for 30 minutes of Astor tries to put her to sleep the second
I walk in the room and grab her she's like, huh, and she makes these little noises. Don't talk it. She goes
Like that like then if I don't sing the song this is what she does she's what she does she looks at me and she goes
Don't sing the song, this is what she does. She looks at me and she goes,
da, da, da, da, da, da.
What song do you sing?
Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height,
but I get lazy and I don't wanna sing the word sometimes,
so I'm like, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
So she mimics it. So here's the thing, she needs me to be walking, Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da that I asked for for so long. I'm like, oh, I just want these kids to love me. I just want them to need me and love me
and I just want to be a great daddy.
And guess what?
I got it in spades from this one child
who now cannot go to sleep unless I am holding her,
walking her, bouncing her and singing her the song
at the same time.
The good news is we don't co-sleep with this one
and that's the way it's gonna remain forever.
I'm not gonna do it.
Not gonna do it. Not going to do it.
That's good.
Thanks, Chrissy.
Thanks for your moral support.
You're lucky. You got children when they were 15.
You lucked out, I think.
All right, 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 to 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 in 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. Now I'm going to thank G one more
time that we have sponsors. So thank G and here they are. You know, sometimes I watch these, you know, I'll be sitting at the traffic light or something
and I'll see some guy in a truck.
It's always a guy in a truck.
A guy in a truck has his, you know, they have those phone holders that stick to the window.
I have one.
You know, you put your phone, you hang it right kind of in your field of view.
How incredibly dangerous that is.
But you know, you put it right in your field of view
and then you can see your maps or the text messages come up
or you have car play on it or whatever.
And it plays that stupid fucking Apple song
that you never wanted to play again.
But you know, you get it.
But it's always some guy in a truck
that is watching a movie or television show
while he's driving.
Do you see this?
I see this.
I haven't seen that.
I've thought about doing it
I thought it was just too dangerous. I am guilty of this on road trips I will sometimes turn on TV and listen to it, but I do my best not to pay attention to it
I'll like put it in the cup holder upside down, you know
Like a sporting event or something like that sure but because I know I just inherently understand that I am a real fucking nudnik and all this
is going to take is one second of looking away for something really bad to happen.
Then I have children and then I'm just going to be an asshole for the rest of my life if
something happens.
But I have been seeing an ad for something and this is not an advertisement by the way.
These people do not sponsor us.
I'm not even sure I would sponsor this.
But I have been seeing this ad popping up over and over and over again on my Instagram link for something called Magic Link.
Have you heard of this?
No.
Okay. Magic Link is a device that you can plug into your car. And if you have a screen on your car, it will screen share whatever it is you're watching.
So it screen shares your entire phone. So if you turn on whatever, the Direct TV app,
Netflix, whatever it is, it will screen share that
to the screen on your car.
Because all the screens now are just LCD TVs.
That's all they are.
And they're just have a certain program in there
that doesn't allow you to watch streaming.
You can't download an app.
But now this app usurps that technology, that software,
and it puts its own software in there.
I assume this is what it does.
And then it shows you whatever is on your phone how incredibly fucking dangerous
This is that is insane to me like I'm guilty of putting the TV on while I'm driving or listening to a YouTube
You know video or whatever, but I don't think I would ever like actively watch TV while I was driving down the road
Yeah, that's too dangerous.
It's a huge temptation.
I at least said I can't, yeah, I can't turn on something that I need to see, which is a lot of things.
Yeah, I mean, once you, once you start feeling comfortable that you can do this,
like you get a few drives in you where you're like watching TV and driving at the same time,
you're going to become way too comfortable with it whatsoever. It's just like drunk driving.
Like I hate to say this and I do not condone it.
It is terrible, awful, and there's no excuse for it,
especially not in 2024, but there have been times
in my life when I have gotten in the car buzzed
and driven home, right?
I think anybody who's done a little bit of drinking
is probably guilty of this at some point or another.
And, but you get too comfortable
and then you can really end up in a lot of trouble.
So I can see this.
So I am driving down the road a couple of days ago
and I've got, you know, a shitty SUV
that sits up a little bit higher
and I look down into the car
that's sitting next to me at the stoplight
and they are watching the office on the screen
on their television.
So I thought, oh my gosh, they must have this thing
that I've been seeing all this.
Magic Link.
The dude was paying no fucking attention.
He was in a turning lane, 50 cars had gone.
Literally the arrow had been green for seven minutes
and the guy was just sitting there.
People behind him honking.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
He is still watching the show,
as if he's waiting for the scene to be over before he moves.
And I thought to myself, holy fucking shit.
And as if the roads are not dangerous enough,
now we've got to compete with television
and people watching television while they're driving.
This seems insane to me,
and I don't know how this product is even legal, actually.
And maybe it's not, I don't know.
I got busted for even having a phone in my hand.
Remember, I got pulled over.
You did.
Yeah.
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
That helped the kiss her in the car.
The kid busted me.
Yeah, they busted me.
He was like, were you holding your phone, sir?
I actually said yes.
I said yes.
And he was like, you know, are you, you know, are you using your phone while you're driving? And I said, sir. I actually said yes. I said yes. And he was like, you know, are you using your phone
while you're driving?
And I said, no, I actually wasn't.
I just looked at the text message.
And then one of my kids goes, no, you didn't.
You were texting grandpa.
I was like, he's a little liar.
He's a shithead. He's been in a lot of trouble.
Thanks, kid.
I appreciate it.
I mean, if you get busted with the magic link,
how does that work?
That's gotta be like a $500 ticket, right?
I would imagine that's worse than drunk driving.
Worse than drunk driving.
It's gotta be worse than drunk driving.
How can you be allowed to watch?
Distractive.
Totally distracted.
And you know, the self-driving cars are just an illusion. They don't actually
self-drive. They're really bad at it apparently because you know people are being...
Did you see the apple just pulled out of their whole self-driving car thing?
Well, because people are destroying them in San Francisco. You know, there's people that are
attacking these self-driving cars because they are dangerous on the road. Apparently,
we talked about this, but I'm just gonna share it again
for those of you that didn't hear.
I think self-driving will always be a bit of a myth.
And let me explain why.
Maybe not on a long road trip where all the car has to do
is just gauge the car in front of it
and the lines between it
and when someone is changing lanes.
But in the city or any kind of urban traffic,
it will never be able to make computations
like our brain does.
Here's the difference between a self-driving car
that takes a bunch of data
and makes a decision based on that data.
Our brains have the ability to recall
and understand situations.
We can kind of see around corners a little bit.
But a computer can't do that.
It can't do that now and it may never be able to be able to do that. Maybe it will with AI
I'm not sure but I don't think so because if you go to a stop sign and so a four-way stop sign and there's two people
That are crossing the street. There's that one guy over there on a bike that's heading your direction
But he's up the car is off you skated most of his body
You can look quickly and your brain can compute that I shouldn't go right now because that guy's gonna quickly
Pull out in front of right out in front of that car and I might hit him if I go the computer may not pick that up
May not understand that may not know that plus people change directions. They move they shuck they jive
They do these kind of things your brain can
Shuck and job
They shuck and jot. Shuck and jot. They shuck and jot.
They shuck and jot.
You know, you got these idiots who are doing entire,
you know, clown shows in front of you at the stoplight.
Hope you're gonna get a few bucks.
Yuckel's the clown show.
They put up those, what are those wires
that the guys stand on and bounce around?
You know, talking about the slack lines.
Yeah, the slack lines.
I forget where I was.
I think it was, was it in Spain?
It was somewhere where I had this busy intersection
at Bar Slower or whatever.
And some dude runs a slack line across
while the lights on and he's like bouncing
on the slack line, flipping and bouncing
and then he's trying to pass around a collection plate.
And I'm like, I didn't ask for this.
I don't give a shit.
Congratulations, dude.
You do whatever 14 year old hippie
at Piedmont Park does on Sundays.
What do you want?
A medal? A prize?
For bouncing on a piece of cardboard?
I don't care.
No.
Now, if you had done something spectacular, maybe.
But, you know, getting up there and doing a couple of bounces,
doesn't shuck on a drive, it doesn't make me,
but a self-driving car could never understand that.
How could it ever understand that?
That the guy, you know,
you just might start plowing through the slackline guy.
Yeah. And I don't know.
Well, they're definitely not think ready right now,
but people are still working on them.
So, you know, the point is,
it's like driving takes, driving does take quite a bit of concentration.
And as you do more of it,
you understand more potentialities
and different scenarios that could come into play.
And so, you know, I think even with self-driving cars,
I don't, and I know I hate to be a killjoy about this
because you know I love my TV guys.
I can watch my TLC all day long, right?
My TLC, my love is blind, my YouTube videos.
I can watch those all day long if the car,
if I thought the car could actually drive itself
through situations.
That would be the only way that I would see
that it would be okay or even semi permissible
to be watching TV.
But it's too distracting.
How is this legal?
How are these people,
how are these people actually allowed to advertise? This thing is my thing.
I saw it and I was shocked, shocked.
Yeah, well, it's there.
Oh, it's there.
They're probably selling like hotcakes.
Apparently I saw one yesterday.
Apparently two days ago, the guy was out there.
You know, this is-
Plus I think Instagram might be a little loosey-goosey
with who they let advertise, so.
Yeah, they let us advertise. So, you know,
they let us advertise. Could be that strict. Could be that stringent.
They don't give a shit. Mark Zuckerberg doesn't give a shit.
Mark Zuckerberg probably has 12 self-driving cars. You know what they're called?
They're called chauffeurs. That's right.
You think Mark uses a chauffeur? I'm sure he does.
Do you think he's got security around him 24 hours a day?
Yes, yeah, but apparently Bezos does not hmm. Do you see Bezos? He was like at some like
Yeah, oh dude, he's huge look at him. He's got that young girlfriend. He's all
Even a huge GNC
Oh, he's I think he owns a few GNC's. I think he owns all the GNC. I think he owns all the GNCs. I think Amazon became the GNC
I don't see too many of them anymore yet
He do yeah, he moved to Miami because he wants the tax benefits. Are you kidding me? That guy doesn't he's a personal income
That guy must have on a yearly basis
Yeah, he is so buff and the other day I was looking at a news article
And I mean I think part of this feel it feels a little shitty and voyeuristic and part of it is just like amazing to me
Jeff is out with his beautiful young girlfriend, with his other couple.
They're out at one of those shopping mall, shopping like, you know, food court, Chinese
buffet places, getting Chinese food in a strip mall down in Florida, I think is where
it was.
And it's like, holy shit.
They're just like us.
The richest man in the world.
One of the richest men in the world.
Yeah, they're just like us, that's right.
I guarantee you he did have security.
It was just where you couldn't see it.
He was lurking around.
Well, that was like when I saw,
I don't even know if I should say the name,
but I saw, I met a celebrity.
I was close, I was close to him.
I was having dinner with him.
A very, very rich man, a very rich man,
a very nice guy, very rich man.
And he walked into the room
and when he walked into the room,
he had a lapel microphone on.
And but there was no cameras around.
Like we were having dinner.
It wasn't like, you know,
and we were in a private room, by the way.
So he came in through the back door.
There was no visible security anywhere.
I didn't notice any extra people.
Everyone there, I knew who they were.
I knew they should be there
because of the event that we were at.
But when I saw that lapel microphone, I asked them,
I said, what's up with the lapel microphone?
Are you like videotaping something?
Are you like, you know, recording this?
Am I on candid camera?
Am I on candid camera?
Are you about to give me a million dollars
and tell me to go and pay it forward?
Because boy will I.
I'll pay it forward to Georgia Power,
to American Express, to my Visa.
I'm gonna pay it forward to my gas company.
How do you feel about that?
He told me, I said, what's up with the microphone?
Am I being recorded, are we recording something?
He said, no, you know what, it's security.
He goes, I don't like having all that security up on me.
I think it makes me unapproachable
and I'm really not like that.
And he's like, and I also think that security
sometimes gives me and others the impression
that they shouldn't be having a conversation with me.
He goes, I just think it's like kind of a scary thing.
So for everybody involved.
So he said, but sometimes I do need it. He's like, obviously I sometimes I do need it. He's like, you know, obviously I sometimes I do need it.
And I was like, yeah, no, I totally understand.
And he said, so what I do is, you know,
all these conversations are being listened to, by someone,
and not listening for the content of the conversation,
but listening to hear if I say something.
And if I say code word,
and then if I say something,
or they hear that something's gurgles.
Ha ha ha.
Self driving sack line. Self driving sec line.
Self driving sec line.
He was like, you know, um, get your hot dog hair.
Get in there.
Get in there.
Uh, they know, they understand that something's going wrong.
He goes, I, yeah.
He goes, so not listening to the content
of the conversation, he goes,
but it's also for posterity's sake,
in case anybody ever accuses me of something,
doing something wrong, inappropriate.
Smart. Right.
And what I've noticed also is that a lot of celebrities now,
they will not take pictures
where they have their arms around people.
And this one celebrity,
and I can't remember who it was,
but the one celebrity when asked why he stands still with with his hands like this when he takes pictures of people, he says,
because my arm around somebody is reserved for my wife. And I want, I think, was it messy
or Ronaldo, one of the soccer players? And he said, this is reserved for my wife and
my children. They are the ones that deserve this kind of physical affection.
And I want them to always know they're at the top.
Like they're at the top and they're the ones to get that.
And I thought it was the sweetest thing in the world.
And I won't do that.
I'm just gonna manhandle whoever I can.
Hey, Jimmy, big balls, come here.
I'm gonna manhandle you.
Other than that was very sweet. Hey, Jimmy Big Balls, come here. I'm the man and oh you.
Other than that was very sweet. Yeah, and in today's time,
you never know what could be perceived as inappropriate.
Well, probably in any time you never,
in any time, you know,
It's a heightened awareness.
It's a heightened awareness
because any of the littlest thing,
and we're so litigious in this society,
which is just ridiculous. We shouldn't be this way, and we're so litigious in this society, which is just ridiculous, we shouldn't be this way,
but we're so litigious that we,
I'm gonna say we because who knows,
maybe I could also do this
because a commercial break doesn't make any money.
But we're so litigious that we're willing to sue anybody
for anything in the hopes
that we'll get a little bit of cash out of it.
And the almighty dollar, we see somebody that has more than us and
you know we see an opportunity to maybe take advantage of that then uh... then
we'll do it
but i got a say right now guys don't try with the commercial break
we don't have any
and it'll fucking matter guys
and cannot fucking matter
you say whatever you want blood from a sweat that i bought blood from a
stuff that from a stone from a stone
Can't bleed a lot any yeah, you can't bleed a rock
No, sir. He bought it. Oh, yeah, no
But you can cut them if you need to cut them just run your lawn over
Yeah, you know I used to my dad taught me how to cut grass and for years all I heard was don't run over the rocks!
You shoot him out sideways! You cut the blade up!
But these guys apparently want to do that. I don't know. I don't know. I love Juan. I don't want to let him go, but at the same time it's like how many times can you say the same thing
over and over again? He just recklessly got it tall. Maybe I should just not be an asshole and
mow my own lawn. Because then I'd be assured it only got done once a month.
Yeah, yeah.
You would.
I don't have any time.
That's the truth.
Like, I can't leave these children for five minutes.
It's here or it's outside taking care of the kids.
And that's the way I wanted to do it.
You can get your son up there on the riding mower with you.
Yeah, I think you need grass to actually ride a mower.
Or just a weed eater.
I know.
Where would I put that thing
It's my new second car is a John Deere
to that 2001 John Deere riding lawnmower with no blade because I don't have any grass. I don't need the blade
I'm just gonna I'm just gonna pretend people are gonna be seeing me. They're gonna like hey. Good morning, and I'll be like good morning
Cutting the air just cutting the air
With my son.
Hey son, put your foot down there. Let's see if there's a blade.
I was always afraid I was gonna get a toe chopped off
when I was cutting my lawn.
