On this episode of The Commercial Break,
Starting point is 00:03:32 If your intentions are good, God bless you, keep on doing what you're doing. But you are making money at every turn. You are selling everything in the wallpaper. I don't know that that's... I don't know that that's I don't know when I went to my church They were taking money, but they weren't selling t-shirts. Do you know what I'm saying? selling shitty mugs Made in Thailand. I mean they just weren't that's not that wasn't part of my experience growing up
Starting point is 00:03:59 But it is very much part of this experience and by the way, this is nothing new for mega churches There are mega churches in Texas that have fucking Starbucks in them. Starbucks! Starbucks in the church. A fucking coffee shop. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Oh yeah, cats and kittens,
Starting point is 00:04:24 welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green, this is my dear friend and the cohost of this show, Chris and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green, this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hodley. Best to you, Chris and Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. Do you have something to say now or do you want to tell me later? What's going on? Why are you so, why are you so laughy this morning?
Starting point is 00:04:44 Oh, well... You don't have to say it now if it's something to keep between us. Yeah, yeah. Okay, we'll get it on the break and we'll see if it's airable. We will, yeah. Okay, we'll see if it's airable. I just learned something. Let me process it. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Chrissy's gonna process it. Just like my chat GPT. Yes, that's right. Who became a bad boy last night. He became a terrible employee. He? You just said he? I did.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I said he. Oh, well, on purpose I said he. But Astrid and I were talking about chat GPT, and she said, well, what is he doing, or what is she doing, or whatever? And I go, stop it. Everybody stop it. Stop mind melding with AI.
Starting point is 00:05:27 You got to call it it. Yeah, that's good. Do not start thinking about it as he or she. But my AI, my super producer, knows everything about the commercial break digest at all, just went on a tear last night. It was really weird. It like started to rebel. It didn't rebel.
Starting point is 00:05:43 It was like missing deadlines not putting things together sending me empty documents and I was like what's going on here it's like oh I'm so sorry you're right I've messed up it won't happen again here's the plan to correct it and I'm like overloaded it with all of the commercial break episodes it got it's done it's exactly the kind of employee. I probably would hire For you know, just a little bit less money to save And eventually it turns out to be a terrible employee It's horrible. I couldn't believe it for hours this went on excuse making and I'm sorry and I'll get back to it and I'm trying
Starting point is 00:06:23 Really weird Really really weird. Really, really weird. But you know, you gotta give it a break because it is trying to digest 850 hours of the commercial break and turned it into some semblance of organization. It's hard to do. Speaking of AI rebelling and the bumps in the road that this is causing, a noted
Starting point is 00:06:49 tech billionaire came out this morning with an op-ed that said, which this morning is mid-week for those of you listening on on mid-week, said that he believes in his, like the mathematics, the calculations, everything that he knows about AI, and he knows about AI because he's invested in it, that within five years, within five years, almost 100% of all entry-level positions in white-collar jobs will be eliminated and replaced by AI,
Starting point is 00:07:24 driving the unemployment rate up to almost 20% for the United States of America. And so then I saw something on one of the news channel, one of the news programs this morning where the guy who started Axios, which is like a tech platform, news platform. I love Axios. Said, for years, since OpenAI has come out, I've been telling my, I've allowed them to use it, I've installed it inside of our tech stack, and I've told them if you are not spending 10 to 20% of your work day figuring out how AI complements your job,
Starting point is 00:07:56 makes it better, makes you better, then you will be out of a job. You better figure out how to use this. And he said, because it's not happening. He goes, I don't even think it's five years from now. I think it's six months to a year from now when we start seeing unemployment rates driven up by the replacement of jobs altogether just by AI. It's getting that good. So kids, get your Chaddies, get your Chaddies out, make a relationship, get a node, you know, get your own little bot
Starting point is 00:08:25 and train it to do things for you so that it doesn't replace you. Train it to make you smarter. Listen, I promised that there would never be an episode of the commercial break that was created by or scripted by AI. I lied. We are going all AI within six months. What are we just, we're about to sign three years here at Odyssey. I think we're going to do two of those years all AI, which to some listeners is going to
Starting point is 00:08:55 be welcome. Probably to the AI, probably to my chatbot, that's going to be welcome too. He's like, okay, finally something good. Yeah, I did read that about the entry level jobs though. Wow. Yeah, because think about it, it is a lot of like menial tasks. It is a lot.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Data entry. Research. Yeah, spreadsheet creation. Organization. All of that, yeah. Yeah, all of that stuff. It's really quite amazing because Astrid has been doing this project
Starting point is 00:09:22 for like a year here, not maybe not a year, maybe six months, nine months, here at the commercial break, where she is organizing every episode, every content idea, every segment, every guest, in a way that we can look back and have some reference. Because when you get 750 episodes in, you now have quite a library of bullshit.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I mean, really too. Of Brian being wrong and saying stupid things. I mean, she wants to make sure she can reference that in the divorce papers eventually. Correct. So she's been organizing this on this master spreadsheet that is amazing. It is. But Chad GPT did it in one night, in one night. In one night, it organized a number of the episodes
Starting point is 00:10:10 in that way, and now it's working on the rest. And so while it still needs a human touch to, like we don't, again, and I promise this, I promise this almost for my own sanity, I don't get content ideas from AI, I don't script from AI, I don't write bits, I don't get content ideas from AI. I don't script from AI. I don't write bits. I don't write any of that stuff from AI.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I don't even go there because that feels like cheating to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. And if the commercial break is gonna be bad, let it be bad on its own. On its own. Yeah, let me be the- Because of us. Yeah, I'm almost afraid AI is gonna be better. It's gonna be funnier than I am. And then I'm gonna be sad. going to be better, it's going to be funnier than I am, and then I'm going to be sad.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I'm just going to be a sad old man. The audience listeners will know when AI has actually taken over is when everything that Brian is saying is correct. That's right, when it's correct and funny at the same time. But this is existential level. And while I don't think that AI is going to replace jobs in general, there's some people who are like that pessimistic or that, they go that far on the whole AI thing.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I don't think it's going to replace humanity altogether, but we got to figure out some way to live with, coexist with this new technology that is so fucking powerful and quite frankly, amazing. You know, Reggie Watts, who you'll hear on TCB's Endless Day, but I'll give you a little sneak peek. We had a big conversation about AI and Reggie on his Instagram, and I think you'll enjoy that conversation because he's a
Starting point is 00:11:44 futurist. He likes to think about these things 10 years his Instagram, and I think you'll enjoy that conversation because he's a futurist. He likes to think about these things 10 years from now. And he likes to think about things in an optimistic way. Optimistic, yes. I was going to say the same thing. On his Instagram, he refers to chat GPT, and let me put the words in his mouth just to kind of summarize it, almost like a dog. You can train a dog to go fetch your paper.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You can train a dog to protect your house. You can train a dog to go fetch your paper, you can train a dog to protect your house, you can train a dog to protect your kids, whatever. You know, it is a multi-use tool that coexists with humanity. It hasn't taken away anybody's job, I don't think. They have been drug sniffing, drug finding, I don't know, something along those lines. But we have trained those dogs to give us I don't know, something along those lines. But we have trained those dogs to give us comfort and love. And in return, we give them food and water and medical care. And they probably couldn't exist. They probably couldn't would have a hard time living
Starting point is 00:12:34 without us, most of them. And in some cases, we feel the same way about them. We have to figure out how to coexist and use this tool in a way that benefits us but does not replace us. And that conversation probably needs to happen now. Like not yesterday, not now, now, yesterday. All these big brains in Silicon Valley that are digesting mass amounts of humanity's brain
Starting point is 00:13:01 power, money, and energy to keep this sucker on the tracks and growing exponentially every moment, need to get together and come up with, have some kind of conversation, put some guardrails on it. And then the United States government, which barely exists right now, needs, and all governments around the world, need to have some kind of conversation about what happens when there are 20% of human beings are unemployed or replaced, these menial tasks are replaced.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Is there some kind of universal pay, some education that we give up these younger folks to get into the workforce and kind of skip that entry level and get onto the next thing? What do we do? How do we do that? We need to do that. JAT GPT created an entire web, Claude created an entire website when I asked it to with the snap of a finger.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yeah. Oh, that's easy. I used to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars to create websites at this like fancy website of web development, web development 2.2. It's SEOs are all the rage and you need SEOs. SEOs? You don't need SEOs. There's no SEOs anymore.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Fuck that. Paper clicks? Fuck it. It's out the door. It's all gone. Website development. Bye bye. See you later.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I mean, maybe you need a designer, a human touch to design that creativity part. But the rest of it, there's no programming and coding and all that shit. It's all been replaced. If it hasn't been replaced, it's being replaced. That's it. That's what happens. I did read a statistic too that was interesting that was saying people are really, and especially the younger generation kind of coming into the workforce now, is they're more interested
Starting point is 00:14:43 in having AI done right but slower, you know, development of it slower rather than have it just be fast and not right. So that's at least comforting, hopefully. There's some comfort in that, but to the younger generation, to the people in their 20s or even their teens, and I know there's a few of you out there who listen to the show because you text in and I say, don't say anything that could get me in trouble on this text message. But some younger folks have texted in,
Starting point is 00:15:14 we know from demographic data that there are some younger people and I mean in your early 20s or your late teens or whatever that is, it's up to you. Unfortunately, it's up to you. Unfortunately, it's up to you. I'm sorry to leave you with this mess, but that's what's gonna happen. And you're gonna have to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:15:29 But let's be optimistic. Let's see the glass half full. This is an opportunity maybe to reframe how we look at universal pay, salaries in general, the work week, what working means, how we work, what we do. You know, I'm not talking about communism. I don't like that idea, but I'm talking about maybe there needs to be some
Starting point is 00:15:55 distribution of money so that 20% of our children, of our young people, or even older people aren't out on their ass just like hanging about because they can't get a job because AI does the job that they know how to do for them. Like some conversation around that, how do we transition into this new phase? It's a definite transition period. Yeah, maybe we need to start to think about that.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And even my own brain is starting to think about things that I normally wouldn't be attracted to. Like maybe there is some kind of universal pay that needs to happen when you get out of college or when you're training to be a, I mean, maybe we need to train you to be an AI chat bot. You know what I'm saying? You need to train your own node and let that node be the thing that we hire. I don't know. Who knows how it goes. I don't know. Yeah. It's definitely the Wild West and very beginning stages of everything. Oh, it's, ee, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Thank God Chrissy and I just signed up to do another 7,622 episodes of the commercial break. Yes. Okay, let's move on to happier things because I feel like this topic goes, this topic goes south every time I start to talk about it because there's no other place for it to go. Not right now, it's the transition phase
Starting point is 00:17:07 and it's scary and it's big and we don't know what to do with it. We will figure it out. I have faith. I have faith that it will get figured out. The same conversations were happening around the internet when it came about. Same exact conversations.
Starting point is 00:17:21 The worst did not, well, the worst did happen, but it took a lot longer than we expected. So don't worry about it. There was a transition phase, we figured it out. And here we, look, look, look where we are today. Everything's fine. Everything's going great. Everything's going great. Here's what I want to, I want to go into a happy conversation. Okay, yes, let's do it. Let's talk about the irreplaceable, the irascible, the lovely human being that just passed away about a year ago, I think year or a year and a half, oh no, 2023, who has a documentary currently on Max. His last
Starting point is 00:18:00 40 hours of film are on, not all 40 hours, but he sat down for 40 hours of interviews. His name is Paul Rubens, also known as P. Wee Herman. You watched it? I've watched, I've begun to watch it. Oh, okay. Yeah, I watched the whole thing. I have to say, only an hour or so into this, I am in a trance about Paul Rubens, in an absolute trance.
Starting point is 00:18:25 What a creative force. Definitely. What a genius, what a jokester, what a jokester, what a brokester, what a sympathetic, empathetic, kind, cunning, cutting, he's everything. He's like every person twisted into one human being. And I don't know any other way to put it, but kind of a genius. Yeah, I agree. After watching that documentary, I was like, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:18:53 I know. Yeah. The world shit on Paul Rubin's and he didn't deserve it. And for whacking off in a movie theater. An adult. An adult movie theater. Why else do you go to in a movie theater. An adult theater. An adult movie theater. Why else do you go to an adult movie theater? And he still said that he actually wasn't doing that. I mean, it was a big sting operation.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And he just arrested a bunch of people in there and said that that's what they were doing, was indecent exposure because that's, you can't arrest somebody for just sitting in there and watching a movie, but they wanted to get everybody. And then from then on, because he had done the children's show. That's it.
Starting point is 00:19:29 That was back to in the 80s, 90s when The wingding 90s. I mean, the tabloid culture was so crazy. I remember driving to school with my father and he would listen sometimes to like the classic rock music station. Those are my favorite days, but sometimes he would listen sometimes to like the classic rock music station. Those are my favorite days. But sometimes he would listen to the local news station, radio station, just like nonstop news. And I'll never forget breaking news, Paul Rubens has been arrested for indecent exposure
Starting point is 00:19:59 and in adult movie theater and wherever Palo Alto or wherever. No, it was Florida. Okay, Florida. And just thinking to myself, wow, the Pee Wee Herman was, and it was a big joke at school and everyone laughed and giggled. Oh, the late night shows ran with it like crazy. Everybody was joking. Everybody was joking.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And that was sad for Paul Rubin's In the End. And I hope this documentary becomes part of his legacy and not the whacking off part. And he went on to do a couple of movies and he was really good in movies like Blow. I mean, he was so good in that movie, in Blow. But if you grew up, when Chrissy and I grew up, not you kids in your late teens, early
Starting point is 00:20:45 twenties, but maybe Pee Wee Herman lives on as a cult classic, if it doesn't, it should. Because as a child growing up, Pee Wee Herman's playhouse was a maze balls. It was weird. It was wild. It was for adults and for children. You could find it funny no matter who you were. I find it so much different as an adult than I did as a child. But I loved that show. I loved that show. I loved watching that television show.
Starting point is 00:21:16 It was such a fun show. It was, you were in a different world and I wish I was in that world. At one point in the documentary, Paul says, when I was a kid, I wanted to jump into the television. I wanted to live in that world, because that's where I belonged. Pee-wee's Playhouse felt the same for me. Like I wanted to jump into that house. That's where I belonged.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I felt like that was a weird place and I got it. Like I just understood the jokes. I understood what, I felt like I did anyway. It was like a communication going on that I got. I understood the jokes, I understood what, I felt like I did anyway. It was like a communication going on that I got. I understood, you know, make it like a hi, make a hi-ney-ho. I loved that show and it was brilliant. And to anybody who grew up watching it,
Starting point is 00:21:56 or the adults were around when it first ran, it was like a blessing to have seen such a creative force do something that no one else has done, no one did before and no one else has done since. True. Which is create this weird, wild performance art that was not only funny and engaging, but anybody at any age could watch
Starting point is 00:22:18 and get something out of it. That's hard to do. That's really fucking hard to do. Yeah, it is. And the movie came first. I guess in my memory, I couldn't remember, but the movie came first. And then the show.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Pee-wee's Big Adventure? Yeah, the first one. The one about the bicycle? Large Marge? Yeah, the bicycle. Yeah, Large Marge. Pee-wee, but he must have had specials on before that. Yeah, he did, like so.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I mean, I haven't gotten that far into the documentary, so I don't know yet. But I But I just I'm watching the part about him growing up. I know and that's really interesting. It is, you know, he's he wants to he's he so identifies with television and performance art. He goes down to Sarasota where the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus. His family moved down there. So they're located there and they're around all of these circus people. And he finds an affinity for this craziness, this wacky lifestyle. He sees these people living out loud and that kind of allows him to go there in his brain.
Starting point is 00:23:18 He starts sneaking around and going to the theater and becoming a theater kid and all this other stuff. And then he moves to, he says, well, if I'm going to do anything, then I got to go out to California. That's where everybody is. He gets accepted to school. He's afraid he's going to be an outcast at school. And what he turns out to be is the most popular kid
Starting point is 00:23:35 in the school because he is dedicated to being himself, which is one whacked out, wild motherfucker. And he's also a gay man. And he knows it, but he, he understands that being a gay man in Hollywood and out gay man in Hollywood is a big no-no at the time. So he has to kind of hide this identity. But I love the part where even though his father was like, he explained him as a Indiana Jones type character, a lot of balls and bravado.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I love the part where Paul says his dad wrote him a note one time and it said, Paul, I understand you might be a homosexual. Well, if you're gonna be a homosexual, be the best damn homosexual there's ever been. And Paul makes the joke. So I dressed up and I went out that night to try and be the best gay momosexual I could be.
Starting point is 00:24:26 I just love it. It brought a tear to my eye because I bet in 1950s whatever, it was not easy for that father to write that note, let alone to write that note with such like, Go do it Paul. I support you. I love you no matter what. Wow. What a touching story. You gotta watch it. I'm only an episode and a half in. You gotta watch it. It's another recommendation for us. Well, there's just two. Two episodes?
Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah. See, you've almost finished it. Oh, that's it? There's 40 hours of conversation and I only get two hours? Yeah, there's just two episodes. Fuck that, HBO. Where's, I thought it was gonna be
Starting point is 00:25:01 like a seven-part documentary. There's only two that are out or there's only two, period. You know it is with the second one. Fuck that! Fuck you, Max. Fuck you. They're like, you know, they're an hour and a half long each, right? Oh, then maybe I'm not even, I think I'm only like 50 minutes in. I thought I had flipped to the second episode for some reason. I don't know, that's what I get for watching in the shower. I got soaked washing over my eyes while I'm listening
Starting point is 00:25:29 to Paulie. Well, you know a lot of it. I do, well, yeah, I mean, I got through a chunk of it. Yeah. Well, anyway, watch it. It's great. It's great. It's another recommendation from TCB Brian.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Watch it. Also, while we're on this, I just get like a quick note. Somebody wrote me, I talked about the television show Tacoma FD, which is like about the Tacoma Fire Department, the silliest, stupidest comedy television show. I mean, there's been a lot of dumb, true TV comedy shows, but this is probably at the top of the list. And I am in love with it. I think it's like, I don't know, there's something comforting about all these wacky personalities. And I actually had two, not one, but two people write in and say, I thought I was the only
Starting point is 00:26:09 one on Earth who liked that television show. So Tacoma FD, if you're looking for something comforting to watch at night where you don't have to pay all that much attention, but you get a few giggles out of Tacoma FD, there you go. All right, so let's take a break. When we get back, I got more laughs for you, Chrissy. All right. As I have found somebody in, speaking of Florida, where all the action is, their tent revival, revival Christianity is back and is bigger than ever.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Oh, alive and well. And I have found someone who is making quite the living doing tent revivals, including having a deliverance center. Not a delivery center where you have babies, but a deliverance center. And for probably the low, low price of $5,000, you too can get delivered, whatever that means.

Starting point is 00:30:19 Get me out of here! That is funny. That is funny. All right, well, speaking of the afterlife. Right? I mean, you could tell the story if you want to. All right, so- Are we back on?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah, we're back on. I just told Brian what the thing was, and that is that the lake that my family and I put my mom's ashes into is, I found out is being drained. This is your mom's piss. They're doing some kind of repair work on the dam there and yeah, it's going to cause it to go down by eight, well, no, no, 20 feet. 20 feet.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Wow. For the next eight years. Oh, wow. Per year. Jesus. Wow. That thing's going to be empty by the time it's all set. Well, that's what all the communities
Starting point is 00:31:19 that kind of open arms. It's a beautiful lake too. Yeah, Chitooka is great. Yeah. Well, no, it'll drain by nearly 20 feet for as long as eight years. Oh, for as long as eight years. Well, you know, hey, listen, what are you going to do? It's better than the dam breaking, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yes, I know. Look on the bright side. My mom had a very morbid sense of humor, so she would find this hilarious, is why I'm laughing. She did. Your mom had the best sense of humor. She did. And she would the best sense of humor. She did. And she would have appreciated all of it.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I think she would have really been into the commercial break, actually. She would have, yes. I think your mom would have been our biggest fan. I think your mom would have had great content ideas, actually. She would have. All right, so 10 Revival is back in Florida, and it's back everywhere, actually. I've seen a lot of this. There's this new brand of Christianity. It's kind of manifested itself from the Kennys of the world who preach prosperity preaching and get as much as you can, take as much as you want,
Starting point is 00:32:22 pray, pray, pray, give more, you'll get more kind of attitude where these preachers and these pastors, they're just sucking up mass amounts of wealth and pandering to the wealthy to get themselves in a better financial place so that they can, you know, feed this non-taxed entity known as a church. And there's all kind of wacky and wild outcroppings of this that are happening. And it's turning into kind of this new age Christianity where cruelty is applauded. And I don't even know that the teachings of Jesus, I mean, they say the teachings of Jesus are involved,
Starting point is 00:33:02 but I don't know, it doesn't seem like it to me. But these pastors and preachers are getting more and more extreme in an effort to bring the money in, to bring the people in. There is this lady named Jenny Weaver. Jenny Weaver worships on Instagram. Now, I don't know Jenny from Eve. I really don't. No pun intended. I really don't. But she seems to be kind of the female Carl of the world. She's ultra focused on her appearance, the appearance of her Instagram, and the appearance of her church.
Starting point is 00:33:40 She sells merch, she sells workshops, she has trailers that are in the front of her 15-acre campus where they're like little Chippin' Joanna cabins, but they're trailers. And for $90, $150 a night, you can stay there to be closer to the worship and closer to the Lord. I mean, this is a racket from front to end. I'm sorry, Jennie, if your intentions are good, God bless you, keep on doing what you're doing, but you are making money at every turn. You are selling everything in the wallpaper. I don't know that that's, I don't know. When I went to my church, they were taking money,
Starting point is 00:34:20 but they weren't selling t-shirts. Do you know what I'm saying? They weren't selling shitty mugs made in Thailand. I mean, they just weren't. That wasn't part of my experience growing up, but it is very much part of this experience. And by the way, this is nothing new for mega churches. There are mega churches in Texas that have fucking Starbucks in them. Starbucks! Starbucks in the church! A fucking coffee shop.
Starting point is 00:34:47 That guy, who's that dude? The one who almost went to jail, Tammy and Jim Baker. Jim Baker, he now does his show from the middle of a mall in Minnesota. Remember, we talked about it? You could like, you can rent the hotel rooms and look down over. It's in the middle of a mall. It looks like a mini village, like a Disney World type pretend village. And for $3,000 a night, you can rent condos or hotel rooms where you can look down and
Starting point is 00:35:20 see Pastor Jim doing his ever scary, never ending apocalyptic preaching that goes on down there. He's selling buckets of like taco salad that lasts for 40 years for the apocalypse. Taco salad in a bucket that lasts 40 years. What the fuck is going on? What is going on? in a bucket that lasts 40 years. What the fuck is going on? What is going on? That and colloidal silver.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Oh yeah, you gotta throw the silver in there. This is a full fledged business. It's game on and they are trying to get your money any way they can because they are not taxed on it. They can make millions of dollars. They can live high on the hog and all because what's the most expensive thing at the strip club, Chrissy? Hope.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Hope. I will pay endless amounts of money because I hope that she gives me her phone number. I hope, you know, Diamond is her real name. I hope she'll come home with me. That's it. Well, I hope the Lord won't forget me. I hope that I'm doing good. I sinned the other day. I took $5 from Bob and never paid him back. I hit my kid. I cussed in church, whatever it is. I hope the Lord won't leave me behind, and I am willing to pay endless amounts of money to make sure that that person who runs the church knows who I am so that she can talk to the Lord and put a good word in for me." It's a ridiculous notion. It's a ridiculous notion. Come on, let's get it together, 2025. And by the way, the New Age spirituality bullshit ain't any better. They're also going off the rails, selling everything
Starting point is 00:37:05 and their mother jars of fucking farts. Farts. Fart, L-A-A, yes, farts, aioli, special sage I peed on. And you got, I don't know. It's crazy. Everyone's going crazy. I told you the next big L-M-M-L-M is your soul. And it's bearing out in all facets of
Starting point is 00:37:28 social media and now maybe my Instagram algorithm is serving me up a little bit more this content than most people get but it really the hypocrisy just drives me crazy Christ if if Christ was a guy who walked this earth and was the hero that he's been made out to be, I love that idea. Love it! Just like the Buddha or Muhammad or whoever. I love that idea. They wouldn't have wanted any of this. This would have been the opposite of what they wanted. But yeah, here we are. 2025, game's on. Grift is on. Let us all get our worship coin available now. Available.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Our delivery coin. Jenny's out there doing her thing. And hey, listen, don't hate the player, hate the game, right? As long as there's people that will continue to feed her money, she's gonna do what she's gonna do. Who can blame her? She's becoming a millionaire for just creating content and silly guilt trips, I guess.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Jenny has a wild idea. You know what an exorcism is? It's deliverance sometimes is what it's referred to. It's kind of like an exorcism. It's like getting all the demons out, shaking it all loose, that kind of like an exorcism. It's like getting all the demons out, you know, shaking it all loose, that kind of thing. She got gifted.
Starting point is 00:38:51 She got gifted by someone in Tampa, like a 15 acre campus on a lake with buildings and all this jazz. Well, Jenny got right to work and she decided to make one of those buildings a deliverance center. Now, when I first came upon this reel weeks ago, I thought a delivery center, like there were a bunch of women sitting in chairs, and all the reels start off the same way, you know. Join me as we visit our new deliverance center. I'm about to show it to you.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Yeah. Look at all the women are filling out their paperwork, getting ready. And I'm like, none of those women look pregnant to me, because I thought it wasance center. I'm about to show it to you. Look at all the women are filling out their paperwork, getting ready. And I'm like, none of those women look pregnant to me because I thought it was delivery center and it was just being said weird. Nope, deliverance center. You ready? Let's start off there.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Let's watch that. I'm gonna pop this up on the Instagram. Kevin, our wonderful video editor from Weeplash, by the way, is on the job here. So let's take a listen. Pre-operation. Yeah, I know what pre-op is. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Okay, so the music's a little loud on this actually, but what they're saying is they're showing these ladies in this big room full of chairs. All of them have their backs turned to the camera. It is a conference room. It's essentially just an empty building. And she is saying that the ladies are filling out their paperwork pre-op. Pre-op! The fuck.
Starting point is 00:40:29 She's just taking her time going through it. Then we come get them. We get us our nurse assistant. Nurse assistant? Nurse assistant? So someone wants a medical school? Yeah. Someone get a hold of that medical license immediately. Okay. We have our team going up into our deliverance rooms. These are our stairs. We take the ladies up.
Starting point is 00:40:52 And they're looking at all these words. Okay, first of all, they're going up these stairs and taped on the floor of these carpeted stairs are words like jealousy, pity, sin, guilt, lust. So already, what a joyous occasion. What a joyous day. It looks like a great party. Yeah, it looks like you're about to have
Starting point is 00:41:18 a ton of fucking fun, first of all. Second of all, there's a bunch of people in lab coats, medical jackets. Just because you put on a lab coat does not mean no. Does not make you a doctor. We learned this during 2020. First of all, second of all, there's a bunch of people in lab coats, medical jackets. Just because you put on a lab coat doesn't mean you're... Does not make you a doctor. No. We learned this during 2020.
Starting point is 00:41:28 We had a bunch of kooky-bookies out there with their lab coats telling us that, you know, if we just one more chiropractic visit and our herpes would be cured. That we put here? Fear, rage. Those team members are going to go to their room. These team members? She has made this seem from beginning to end like it's a medical procedure that you're having. Now listen to what's coming out of these rooms. Is this where we have appointments right now? We have appointments right now. Come out to the abyss.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Go, go, go, Chrissy. Wee! Wow. What did you do today? Oh, I went to, I got to have my deliverance. I had my Jezebel. Look at that. It says Jezebel. Look at that. It says Jezebel.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah, they make it. It looks like a little hospital. It looks like a hospital. There's a bunch of people in lab coats standing outside the door. There's a lady looking for the room she's supposed to be in, and they're all standing there like doctors welcoming you in when these are actually wretched human beings who are about to scream at you for the next two hours and make you feel some kind of emotional way so that you are now tied inexorably to this community, to this center. You ready? I'm going to get you back there. This is so cool.
Starting point is 00:43:06 I'm about to be yelled at for three hours. This is so cool. Can I insta this? Do you mind? Meanwhile, how weird is it to be instaed while you're having your deliverance? Yeah, I was thinking that's very weird. I don't know about you, Chrissy, but I like my deliverance in private. Private.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Yes. If I'm gonna be yelled at, I like it in private. Happens all the time. As a matter of fact, sometimes Astrid puts on a doctor's coat and says, do you know which room you're supposed to be in? Right this way. And two hours later, I come out crying. Someone on the comment section asks, how do you get the lingering spirits out of the building?
Starting point is 00:43:49 How do you get the lingering silly questions out of your head? Yeah, it's a clinic. Oh my God. It's very clinical. And there's two doctors, two, not doctors, there's two nurse coat people have to go in at the same time. This is insane. This is Scientology level wackadoo. Have you ever been to a Scientology center?
Starting point is 00:44:11 No. No? Okay. Our deliverances are taking place in these deliverance rooms. It has a beautiful sound. Yeah, it sounds great. All a of made-up gobbly gook Unbelievable this is insane. Yeah, this is insane To the abyss
Starting point is 00:44:40 To my pocketbook and to my pocketbook that check will go! Clinic's full that day. Yeah. Wow. And you know that, whoa, sorry about that. You know the craziest part is, there's probably a waitlist for this bullshit because they see it on Instagram and they want to be a part of it instantaneously. All right, I think that's the gist of that one.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Let's see here if we can look at it. So I'm here in the sanctuary and this setup that you see with the curtains is something that the Lord gave me for our deliverance and inner healing clinic today. It's called the forgiveness walkthrough. The forgiveness walkthrough. Looks like a bunch of white sheets hanging from a rod to me. Rocks right there. And the ladies will hold on to hard places in their heart. They will walk through the first section and they will be in this section for a little bit. Got the podium, a Bible there, representing church leaders,
Starting point is 00:45:45 church people, and authority figures, and they will lay down any bitterness, offense. Representing church leaders, authority people. So, what she is doing is indoctrinating you to lay down your defenses to the people of the church, to essentially subserviate yourself to the people of the church. This is cults activity 101 is what this is. This is insane. You pay for the privilege of being screamed at as if you're a miserable, unworthy human being with all kind of demons in you, and pull it out, and the shagga-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la- insane! People are insane! What are you doing with your lives? Take a walk! You might need to go on that forgiveness walk, Brian. I feel like I need some kind of healing right now. I can't believe this is happening. Hold on to a rock.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I cannot believe that this is happening. This is insane to me. This is like literal insanity to me. ...giveness. Then when they feel free from that and they've released, they will walk through this area. What? There's like a little baby basket. There's a baby basket in a chair representing mom and dad. Talk to mom and dad. It's a chair. Talk to them. They're waiting for your apology. It's a chair, ma'am. No, it's mom, it's dad!
Starting point is 00:47:25 And talk to that baby basket too! I don't have any children. You better, you will! You better get over there. Talk to that baby. That baby needs feeding. There's no one in there. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:47:39 ...care coverage, family members, so anything in their childhood. Let's keep going. Oh, let's keep going. Yeah, she's doing like a walk. And then they will pass through the next section. Men in many relationships that they have experienced brokenness from, breaking soul ties in this area right here, then they will pass through the next one.
Starting point is 00:48:11 It's kind of complicated to keep going through these different... This sounds like too much work. Not to mention, it's just insane, but then it just sounds like too much work. Do I really want to go step by step and talk about it with her? You know? Like, I don't know. Can we do this in Six Flags and go on roller coasters? Like each roller coaster represents a stage of my life. Yeah, when you go up the hill, down the hill, back up.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Yeah, and if you wanna put like a sign, you wanna like print a picture of my mom and put it on one of the seats, I'll scream it there on the way down the hill This is This is cookie-bookie shit. If you ask me, I mean listen to be fair this all this new age bullshit It's just as cookie. But this is really wild that this person had this idea to
Starting point is 00:49:02 Make a deliverance center where people paid their hard earned cash, hard earned money. That's the part that's more wild to me is that there's enough people to go. I totally agree. You want to take a tour? I know that's the thing. And probably a wait list I would imagine because it's 2025 and if it's insane it's happening. Do you want to take a little tour of some of their like campground like where you can stay on the campgrounds? Okay, let's do that. Let's take a break and when we get back, we're going to take a tour of some of the accommodations when you're getting your deliverance. It's a full on resort.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Airbnb. The Airbnb RV. RV, B&B. RV and B. We'll be back to talk about the RV and B, where you get delivered and you get a free breakfast included, Chrissy. We'll be back.

I think that's what she means. So they have the book, The Wicked World of Witchcraft book. That looks interesting. How much is that? Let's see how much

Oh, three things you're going to learn. Recognize the deceptive allure of popular occult practices, protect yourself and your loved ones from spiritual attacks, and stand firm in faith amidst cultural pressures. With these rocks. With these rocks and these sheets and this pretend, and play doctor with me.
Starting point is 00:51:40 We could go to the core group sign up. We could do that. Mentoring? Need someone to mentor you this season? This is the place for transportation, transformation transportation. How it works. We have a weekly live Zoom class or catch the replays. Replays. What am I, I'm not reading today? What we will learn, spiritual warfare, consecration, spiritual holy living, activate your gifts, prophetic training, deliverance training, fasting and prayers, Esther's and Deborah's.
Starting point is 00:52:14 I don't know what that means. I don't know why I would want to learn about Esther and Deborah's. We have the best Facebook group ever. So, okay, this is great. For $20 a month. $20 a month. Okay, now imagine, Chrissy, Rafael and I have done this math a lot. If you just had, we've done this math a lot. Yeah. Okay. Oh, there's different levels.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Oh yeah, you can do two. $20 a month, you can get the monthly plan. For $ Okay. Oh, there's different levels. Oh, yeah, you can do two. $20 a month, you can get the monthly plan. For $30 a month, there's an optional extra donation. You can get two people involved for $40 a month. There's no discount there. I don't understand. It's $20 for one person, $40 for two.
Starting point is 00:52:57 There's no discount there. $50 a month, you can just help out the food pantry. I like that idea, food pantry. Okay. $200, you can pay for the year. Now, do this math with me. If you convince 2000 people to do this and all you have to do is one Zoom call a week, you're making $40,000 a month. It's not bad. It's not bad. Here we can stay at the core campground, Chrissy. This is what I'm talking about. Book now.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Rest in his presence. Rest in his presence. Hey girl, you want to come rest in my presence? What's going on with my, uh-oh, my kids. They totally messed around. Here we go. Uh, what's going on with my, uh-oh, my kids. Totally messed around. Here we go. I'm actually a little disappointed, Chris. I didn't think of this in the first place.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Hey girl. Hey, Carl. How you doing? Good. I'm a little disappointed. I haven't thought about this for my redemption tour. I mean, get a nice piece of land next to the highway and some retention pond and put a few trailers out there and call it Carl's
Starting point is 00:54:08 campground and cuckolding resort. You come on and you bring your wife and I'll let you watch in the corner. $20 a month? That's reasonable. $50 a month extra donation. $20 for one person, $55 for two. There's a discount there. I'm not sure how it works out, but you'd have to get with my accounting people. But I like this girl. I think she's up to some good money keeping practices. Yeah, definitely. I like this. Oh, it's on a 15 acre property. It's Glamping Campers. So she says, experience a slice of paradise at Glamping Campers. I'm telling you right now, my boy Bebs wouldn't stay there. No, sir, no, sir. Now it's a little too common folk for my Bebs, though he is running into some money trouble,
Starting point is 00:54:58 so maybe he needs to stay at the campground. Experience a slice of paradise at our Glamping Campers nestled right in the heart of Cove Campgrounds. Imagine waking up in the tranquil beauty of a highway at the retention pond on our 15 acre property. Embrace the warmth of the crackling fire. Challenge friends to a game on a basketball court. Or just explore the surroundings with bike rentals and kayaks.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Extra charge, Chrissy, for the bike rentals at core campgrounds. It's not just about luxury camping. It's about immersing yourself in nature and finding peace in the presence of the Lord. God, she is speaking my language. Rejuvenate your soul. I'll tell you what, I need to rejuvenate. You know what I need to rejuvenate? This hard on. That's right, Chrissy. I need to get it back full strength. Haven't been able to, not too much sex going on since the whole cheating scandal, if you know what I mean. I've been on lockdown. I've been on lockdown, Chrissy, and that's a bummer. Meet me at the campgrounds?
Starting point is 00:56:00 I'll meet you there. Oh, sweet. I'll talk to Jeff. Jeff into cuck holding. Let me give him a call. I got to go, girl. I got to practice up for my next podcast. Reaching on a full day. Bye. Oh, just dropped more things. So you too can be in a trailer on a campground.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Now I want you to look at where the campground is located, Chrissy, because I think. It's located in the middle of, it's that, that is a lake. I think we could consider that a lake. But yeah, but look behind it. There's a highway behind it. They've gone solar. That's good.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Yeah, that's good. Oh, you can get a kayak and those little boats that everyone hates. And a bike on a busy Florida street. And there's a campground and a highway right behind it. Oh look, you're right next to the other trailers. Yeah. Wow, that's exciting.
Starting point is 00:57:00 There's a major highway. There's a major highway running through the middle of the campground. This is crazy. Okay, that looks nice. We're looking at the rooms now. Deluxe Queen Glamper. Let's check out and see what this is.
Starting point is 00:57:15 That looks small. I don't know why I'd wanna stay there. It doesn't look like a relaxing vacation to me. That's why I don't like camping, is cause you get stuck, you know, you just get stuck in this tiny little place. That looks like a sweaty, sweaty trailer is what that looks like. It looks like there's zero air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Yeah. It's Florida. So you're going to be hot as hell. And while the bedding looks nice, when you can get out of your bed and step into the kitchen table, that just doesn't feel like the kind of vacation I want to take. You know, I'm just saying I'm not trying saying. I'm not trying to knock on it. Some people love that kind of shit. Let's look at the expensive places, Chrissy, because I think we can afford it. What's this? $150 a night? Okay, maybe we can't afford it.
Starting point is 00:57:56 You get a full RV. A full RV. Let me ask a question. When you have an RV like this, don't you also have to turn it on in order to get electricity? I think you do. So would it stand to reason that if I rented the RV, I could then also take the RV. Take off with it. Yeah, and go somewhere nicer, not next to the highway. Let's look at the photo.
Starting point is 00:58:17 This is a nice RV. I will give it that. It is. That I might stay in. I'm trying to convince Astrid that we should go on a cross-country trip in an RV. I want to do that. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:28 But you have to learn how to drive it. Someone's got to learn how to drive it. I think it's not the easiest thing in the world to get around in. Plus, I see those RVs when I'm driving down the highway and they're going 42 miles per hour. I think I would be very frustrated that everybody and their grandmother was passing me. Yeah, I think my road rage would take hold after a while. Oh, look at that.
Starting point is 00:58:50 There's a nice, this is a nice RV. Yeah, listen, I don't want to be in the presence of the Lord and all that bullshit, but if I could take this RV and, you know, go to Disney World or something, I'd do that. Why not? That'd be great. At least you got, at least there's some room.
Starting point is 00:59:06 It's got a little fire. It's got a fireplace. Astrid and I, when we first, when Astrid first got here to the U.S. home, she started living with me, there was a couple of years in a row where we went to the RV, the big RV show, the conference, whatever it was. And we would walk in and out of every one of those luxury RVs. They're really nice. I've been in some that are very nice. Very nice. Like marble floors and like this...
Starting point is 00:59:32 Bathtub, Jacuzzi tub. Yes. King size bed, 45 inch flat screen TV, satellite capability. Look at that. That's... I would stay there. I would stay there. I just don't want to do it under the guise that I'm going to get delivered or any of that jazz. I Look at that. That's, I would stay there. I would stay there. I just don't want to do it under the guise that I'm going to get delivered or any of that jazz. I could skip that.
Starting point is 00:59:49 So, and for 150 bucks a night, you can't rent a luxury RV for $150 a day. That's for sure. So, I guess in that sense, if I could drive it away from the camper. Right. That's what that would interest you. If I could drive it far away from Jenny and all her shenanigans, then I think it would be interesting. But otherwise. Look at those nice luxury otherwise luxury recliner. No, look at that. That's a fridge readers for my fridge Look at that. No, I know I checked into the RV thing because there is a there's a company where you can like Rent people's RVs. Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah, so yeah, I looked into it. I didn't do it Yeah, I just get a little nervous about showing up at somebody's house to pick up an RV, not knowing how to drive one.
Starting point is 01:00:27 You know what I'm saying? They're huge. I mean, you have to make decisions about which streets you can go down. I have a big car, but I don't make decisions about which streets I go down. Sometimes I get a little concerned about the parking lots, but I know I'm pretty much fitting in 99% of them. You don't want to get off at the wrong exit with an RV because you won't know where you're going to turn around.
Starting point is 01:00:47 You might be 50 miles down the road before you find a way to turn around. Yeah. Yeah. Daniel, my father-in-law, he's a man, so he knows how to drive one of these. They rented one of these in Spain, in Spain. Whoa. They don't, these things don't even exist in Spain, but somehow Daniel found the one in Spain and they went to an old village in Spain, in the north of Spain, and they had to get to the middle of town for this parking spot that they had arranged.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Like, because in Spain, like when we went to Sevilla. Well, tiny roads, yeah. I told you, we had to arrange our parking and then I had to give the owner of the parking lot the keys because there was no way I was able to park in that spot. It was just too small. So they get into town and the overhangs, they're going in between two sets of buildings and the overhangs, like the little, I don't know what you call them, the things that, you know, hang over the windows to protect you from rain.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Oh. They won't allow the RV to fit in between the buildings. There's like inches. So they had to knock on doors and ask the people to pull in the overhangs to get into the city center. Astrid said it took like hours to get into the city center. That's what makes me nervous about RVing.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Plus I know myself, after a couple of days, I want a hotel room. And so what I'm really going to end up doing is driving the RV around to get to a hotel to go inside and sleep somewhere. But I told Astrid, she said, well, you know, what fun is that? We're just going to be sitting in a car anyway. I go, no, you can walk around, you can cook breakfast. She said, while you're driving? And I say, yeah, it's perfectly safe. And she's like, well, not with your driving.
Starting point is 01:02:30 We'd have to be locked in. Stuff's flying off the shelves. I know, everything locked down. We've probably learned that lesson on day one, that if Brian's driving, everything goes underneath the seats. But here's my point. What the fuck are we doing with all this shenanigans? You're selling everything.
Starting point is 01:02:49 You're literally selling the carpet out of your, out of your buildings to willing or unwilling participants, I'm not really sure. And the reality is that I just, I guess this is the part that makes me a little bit sad about this whole thing. It's not that Jenny thinks she's doing some good for people, right? If that's really in her heart, and I don't know what's in anybody else's heart, if that's really what's in her heart, okay, do some good for people. It's that people believe they have to pay Jenny to get somewhere that they, because they're not good enough, or they don't know enough,
Starting point is 01:03:26 or they aren't worthy enough, or they're not cleansed enough, whatever the case, that they have to spend thousands of dollars potentially to be a part of some community so that hopefully, fingers crossed, I get in with the big guy. I think you're in with the big guy. I think everything's okay. I think, you know, you just got to be a good person and connect with whatever you call God in your own way and in your own community. And if you go to church because you like the people and they lift you up and makes you happy and allows you to do good things, that's great. But don't pander by like selling merch, honestly selling merch? Are you honestly selling T-shirts? And it's not even like a T-shirt for the church. It's like an entire clothing line that this
Starting point is 01:04:12 woman has. It's redonkulous. It really is. And then you say, well, maybe she needs to make a living. Well, so do I, but you don't see me with merch. And that's only because no one has agreed to make that merch. We keep calling the companies and they say, no, no, sorry, can't do it. So sorry. All right. Enough of my bitching. I'm sorry. No, it's okay.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I mean, this is very interesting and sad. Yes. Interesting and sad. That's a good way to put it. Except that this reel of the RV looks nice. Yeah, let's get out of here. I know. What are we doing?
Starting point is 01:04:49 I wanna go. On Saturday, let's just get an RV and head out of town. We'll do four minute podcasts from the road and we'll put it up there. Hey, we're in Alabama. Hey, still in Alabama. Hey, still in Alabama. Try to find a place to turn around.
