At this point, I'm clocking in only seven minutes of actual work a day. I look busy all day. I'm clocking in only seven minutes of actual work a day. I look busy all day. I'm constantly typing. I'll just go to other computers that nobody uses and put a floppy disk in and go, yeah, this one's running. This one's running hot.
Starting point is 00:01:18 On this episode of the Commercial Break. I remember that at the radio station, we had some version of that too. Yes, we did. Daily deal. Yeah, 92.7 daily deal. commercial break starts now. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Swift of my Kelsey. Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us again. I got to tell you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us again. I gotta tell you, my house has been a little bit of a,
Starting point is 00:02:12 no, like a land mine zone here in the last 24 hours. And I don't know what happened, but everyone has the ass. Everyone is farting up a storm. And apparently it has to do with some lentils, some tainted lentils that went around the house. Oh, the lentils. Oh my God, Chrissy. I saw them eating the lentils yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I luckily stayed away from the lentils. I love lentils. I like them. I just didn't have them yesterday. I just didn't have them. And so this Noemi who comes here and helps with the kids and stuff, she made up a cooked up wonderful lentils.
Starting point is 00:02:42 She's a wonderful cook. Noemi and Astrid, they're wonderful cooks. And wonderful chefs, if you will. Chef, I don't mean to say cook, it's a chef. They're making it with love and beauty and mixing all kinds of stuff together. And so yesterday afternoon, it's lentils for the 14 to 15 kids. And then at night, it's like this hot dog rice combination, but not like normal hot dogs, like little sausages, tiny little sausages,
Starting point is 00:03:05 you buy them at Whole Foods or whatever. They're delicious, I'll show you. Like the little Vienna sausages? Not Vienna, because that sounds like something you would shit out instantaneously. I used to love those when I was a kid though. The can is a Vienna's? Yes, I did when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Seriously? Oh God, I couldn't even look at the slime that was in there. I was like, oh, that's slimy. I don't like them now, but I did. No, God bless, you shouldn't like Viennas in your adulthood. That's just not a thing. It's like sardines or whatever they call them on me or fucking Caesar Salve, drives me crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Anyway, so I see them eating the lentils and then hot dogs for dinner and I'm like, oh, okay. I go to give the kids baths and one of the kids, I'm like taking her pants down, trying to get them undressed to get in the bath. And I was like, whoa, geez, settle down there. She's laughing, she thinks it's funny. And I'm like fart fart.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I just, the smell that came out of that young lady's butt was unbelievable. It was crazy. And so I was like, okay, you know, all right, everyone's got gas and means your stomach's working in the right direction. If you're farting, you're not dying, right? Right. It's churning and working. Then I got like six kids in the bath and it turns into like a sauna in there. The kids
Starting point is 00:04:15 are just farting left and right. It was, I was floored at how much air was coming out of their stomachs. And it was, they're all laughing. It's bubbling up. The smell is disgusting. I'm like, I got to get out of here. This is gross, guys. What did you have? And then so now they're all bathed and I put start putting their clothes on. And I'm like this, you have to go take a shit. You gotta shit. You gotta go to the you gotta go poop. No daddy, I don't have to poop. What's going on with your butt? I don't know. It's making noises. And I was like, yeah, it's making lots of noises. The baby is literally, she's got one of those little toys
Starting point is 00:04:48 where she pushes herself around. She's literally like going on air power just to crawl back and forth down the hallway. Yeah, I swear to God. It was like, pfft. It sounded like that Jetson. Flying down. Yeah, that's the Jetson. And they had that noise when they flew around.
Starting point is 00:05:06 She was just happy as a clam. She thought it was the funniest thing ever. So then, okay, all right, guys, everyone settle their asses down. Let's try and get through a night. I wake up, one of the kids is sleeping with me. I wake up in the middle of the night and I am, holy shit, what is that smell?
Starting point is 00:05:28 I thought for sure, Blue pooped on the floor. For fucking sure, Blue pooped on the floor. Like get up, aggravated already. You should see me, you should see the state I get in when Blue poops. Blue pooped in this studio yesterday. And I thought my head was going to pop off of my shoulders. Those kids ran into a different room.
Starting point is 00:05:48 They knew what was coming. They knew, daddy doesn't yell much, but this is what daddy's about to lose his shit over the shit. Because it was one of my kids that noticed it. Studio doors open, all 30 kids are walking down the hallway because I'm trying to herd them into a bedroom so I could, I don't know, tell them something or watch a movie or whatever.
Starting point is 00:06:06 And one of the kids stops, looks in my studio and she goes, uh-oh, daddy. And I knew instantly, I knew exactly what had happened. And I was like, blue is hiding somewhere, cause she knows. And all those kids ran, they just ran. They just shot off in a different direction. I know, I know, I know there are audience members who get upset when I, when I angrily talk about Blue. The dog. The dog. I know you're probably like,
Starting point is 00:06:37 leave that poor fucking dog alone. I don't hit the dog. No, I'm not hitting the dog. No, no, there's never been abuse to the dog. No, no, no, no, no, no, nothing like that. I'm way too much of a pussy to do any of that shit. I don't hit people. I don't hit anything because I'm afraid it's going to hit back. And I just don't want that kind of drama. The dog sleeps at my feet. I feed the dog. The dog gets treats.
Starting point is 00:06:58 The truth is the dog is a very spoiled dog and it's at my hand that it's spoiled usually. So as much bitching as I do, I'm just bitching because if you had a dog that never stopped barking or shitting or pissing in your house, you would also find some level of frustration. But I got to be honest when I came in here to clean up the droppings of my little rat that lives in this house, when I came in here, I couldn't tell the difference because as the kids were running away, they were literally pooting all the way down the hallway. And so finally I told Astrid, hey, babe, there's a lot of gas in this ass. There's a lot of gases in those asses and I'm not sure. Maybe there's
Starting point is 00:07:38 like a virus going around. We should be mindful of this. I'm always feeling like I need to tell Astrid something about how our children are in some kind of imminent doom. And she's like, they had lentils for lunch and I was like, lentils? Lentils caused that much? They're a legume. Does it really affect your stomach like that? It can, yeah. I don't know. I've had a lot of lentils and I don't remember being that pooty. I mean, they were just pooting left and right.
Starting point is 00:08:01 It kind of depends, I think, on what you had, what your stomach state. Yeah. You were already in, you put the lentils. Yeah, when you put Vienna sausages and broccoli on top of them. Right. It's just all mixing into this saucy soup. Oh god, broccoli.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh. I mean, this morning it seems like it calmed down a little bit, which I'm really happy about, but we were in the car waiting for Chrissy. I had to pick her up from the car shop. We were in the car waiting and I just heard a, and I looked back.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And I'm like, okay. Yes, who farted? And no one would admit to it because I think they were afraid I was gonna yell at them. But listen, farting is part of life. You gotta get it out. It's one of those things. It's the human body.
Starting point is 00:08:44 It's one of those things. It's the human body. It's one of those things. You know that the relationship is getting serious when you can fart around the other person. That first fart that comes out, we all know it, we've all been there, we've all been in that relationship. It's usually an accident too, kind of like whoops. Yeah, whoops. And then you both laugh.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yes. And then you know it's okay. But if the other person is disgusted, then that's not a good healthy relationship. I told you that I had learned, I had trained my body to hold in farts. And when I was, I know it wasn't because it tore up my fucking stomach. I'm telling you what, the next morning
Starting point is 00:09:19 I'd be writhing in pain. I'd be like, oh, but I trained my body. Just don't let it out. Just don't let it go anywhere. Now I'm like, let it fly kid. I don't care. I'll be like, yes, but I trained my body. Just don't let it out. Just don't let it go anywhere. Now I'm like, let it fly, kid. I don't care. I'll be at church. And I'm like, I actually don't go to church, but if I did go to church, I would fart. But I always thought that the mark of the serious relationship, the mark of when things are getting serious is when you can do those bodily functions in front of each other and not worry about
Starting point is 00:09:43 it. I never forget when I was a kid. Oh, you want to do story time with Brian? Let's do it. Okay. Story time with Brian. So when I was 12 or 13 years old, I played a lot of soccer when I was a kid. So I had a soccer coach. That soccer coach had a son on the team. That son on the team, he was probably weight, he probably clocking in at about 2 0 5 at 12 or 13 years old. Big, big boy. Right? And I think that's why his dad was the coach so that he could make sure that his son got playing time because he wasn't the best soccer player. He wasn't very athletic or any athletic
Starting point is 00:10:20 at all. Not like I was. I was, trust me, I got less playing time than his son did. But anyway, nice guys. We hung around them for a while. And his dad had Playboys out in the open. I think I've mentioned this before. His dad had Playboys out in the open. His mom knew about the Playboys. The Playboys oftentimes would be accessed by us without any drama. The dad would just be like, if you're curious, go look, you know? Which is weird, but you know, okay. I look back on it now
Starting point is 00:10:51 and I think there was probably something weird going on, but I didn't spend enough time with them to really know, so I wasn't that concerned. I think I spent the night over there once or twice. I don't remember anything weird happening, but anyway. So, there were these Playboys and they would just pass them around. This family was very open about everything as a point of the conversation. Beth Dombkowski About bodies and sexuality?
Starting point is 00:11:11 Jared Ranere About everything. Beth Dombkowski Which can be good. Oh, about everything. Jared Ranere About everything. The mom, when she would cook breakfast or lunch or if we'd be over there with snacks, the mom would always inevitably start up a conversation about something having to do with sex or body parts. Oh, wow. Yeah, thinking back on it, maybe this was a little weird, actually. Now, I'm having some unprocessed trauma coming out here on this show.
Starting point is 00:11:33 That's what we do here at the show. She said to us, unprompted, she said to us one time, kids, the secret, the keys to a long lasting relationship, the secret to a long lasting relationship, the secret to a long lasting relationship is to never shit in front of each other. That's what she said. Never shit in front of each other. Now, I think that's good in theory, but I'm not sure it's absolutely iron clad in practice. A steadfast rule. Yeah. Well, generally, yes. I don't know anybody likes to shit in front of somebody else.
Starting point is 00:12:06 That would be weird. That in and of itself would cause red flags. That's unprocessed trauma right there. Yeah, you at least close the door. Yes. But when you have- Even if the person's in the next room. Yeah, even if they're right next door to you,
Starting point is 00:12:16 you close the door so that they don't have to hear all your comings and goings. I mean, that's a big sloppy mess in there and who knows what's going on? And stomachs can be upset. You know, I don't need to tell you you're human. You've had a bad shit once in a while. You know, it's a big sloppy mess in there and who knows what's going on and stomachs can be upset, you know I don't need to tell you you're human you know, you've had a bad shit once in a while, you know It's like God. I hope no one's on the other end of that door We've all been in that public bathroom when we're just dying inside
Starting point is 00:12:36 Praying that nobody can hear us or smell us But when you have children all of that gets thrown out the window because those kids are gonna see see you shit and you're going to see those kids shit. It's part of the growing up process. Like I said, there is no preloaded software on those children. You have to wipe them because that's what you have to do. You have to teach them how to wipe, right? Yes. So it's sometimes when you get involved in the daily activities of the children, like wiping their asses, you start to understand who they are as a person based on the smells that come out of them, right? You're like, oh, that, I don't know about you, but I will never forget
Starting point is 00:13:18 as a child, my dad's stank. My dad's stank was a defining stank. It was like a fingerprint. I know that stank. I know where it comes from. I smelled it often because we were children and we would run into the bathroom and my dad was, you know, and my dad would be, get the fuck out of here, you know, five minutes of privacy, blah, blah, blah. But you would smell the stank. And I know that it is embedded into my head. And if today someone came around with a jar of farts, I would be able to identify my dad based solely on his ass.
Starting point is 00:13:48 That's it. My dad's ass, I'd be able to identify him. And so you start, there's like a little fingerprint that goes along with that smell. And few of my children, I don't know what dead animals are inside of them, but they are like full grown adults with their stomachs. It's unreal to me. I'm like, where is that? You know, when you first have kids and they start pooping,
Starting point is 00:14:12 like the day that they're born, you know? Yes. What comes out of them is not poop. It's like a little tarry like substance. It doesn't smell. Sure, because it's liquid that's going in. It's like unprocessed cholesterol or something like that, right? It's just a little bit of whatever. I forgot to call them like a melcholman or something, melchum, melcholman, they call it a thing. And for the first five days, that's what they process. They process whatever they've been ingesting in the womb.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And then they, but there's not really a smell to it. It's not stinky. And then like for the first six months of their life, there's, you know, yeah, they stink a little bit here and there, but generally it's just milk. So it doesn't really smell all that bad. By the time they turn six months old, Chrissy, they are just, this is why I can't change my children. I can't do it. When there's a poop, I always look at Astrid and I'm like, please do this for me, because I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:14:57 throw up on myself. Yes. And so, when the entire house is smelling like a rotten ass, I just can't take it. And then my dog is adding on top of it. It's really, really obnoxious actually. I'm living in some kind of like third hellish universe where I'm broke and stressed out and my tooth hurts and the kids are all farty and the dog won't stop shitting. Yeah, it's like a parallel universe. It is a parallel universe. But how do I shift back to that other universe?
Starting point is 00:15:30 You can't. You got to get on the show Dark Matter. Dark Matter. Oh, here we go again with Dark Matter. Haven't watched it. Don't know it. Do you remember the first time you farted in front of Jeff? I don't know if I remember like the first time, but I remember like a time. Yeah, oh yeah. I think Chris is like, I remember this morning
Starting point is 00:15:52 when I was like, hey Jeff, pull my finger. No, I generally try not to do that. Chris is like, I'll be back. I think I was laughing. I'm going to water the weeds. Chrissy goes outside to do some gardening. Yeah. And she just lets it fly.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Jeff's like, it's 26 degrees and snowing. It's okay, honey. It'll be spring before you know it. I gotta get the mulch ready. Oh my God. That's too funny. I can see you like hiding in corners around the house. I'll be back in a minute. Hey, we're in the middle of something here.
Starting point is 00:16:33 You and Jeff are making love and you're like, I'll be back. I can go water the roses. No, no, there's definitely not a time making love. Oh, well, then you haven't lived. No! You haven't lived if you haven't been farted on during sex. No, I have not. I didn't say you did. I bet it's happened.
Starting point is 00:16:56 You may just not have been aware of it. You may have been in the throes of passion. I mean, that's, you know, you're letting loose. You're just letting everything fly. You're in weird positions. You're letting everything fly. Don't tell me a fart hasn't come out during sex because I know it has. You may not be aware of it, but it has. I know it. I could wind back the loop on all of your lovemaking sessions. I know I would hear a fart somewhere in there. Not from you, maybe, but from your farter. All right. Well, I haven't known it. What's that? I said I have't known it. What's that?
Starting point is 00:17:25 I said I have not known it to happen. I want you to carry a notebook with you. And note it? We should note our farts. We should do that. We should write notes and then we'll put it on our show notes. Here's the exact-
Starting point is 00:17:38 E-star. I'm crazy. I've never farted in the studio either. No, I haven't either. Yeah. No, not while you're here at least. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I spend lots ofed in the studio either. No, I haven't either. Yeah. No, not while you're here at least. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I spend lots of time in here.
Starting point is 00:17:49 It's a courtesy. Yeah, it's a courtesy to everybody in this small, God-forsaken studio of ours. We just gotta keep it clean. Yeah. Okay, I'm not gonna tell the story. I was gonna tell the story, but I'm not gonna tell it. I'm gonna save someone some embarrassment. I'm not gonna tell the story. Okay. But to tell the story, but I'm not going to tell it. I'm going to save someone some embarrassment. I'm not going to tell the
Starting point is 00:18:05 story. But I have definitely been farted on during sex. It has definitely happened. And it was not, it was mood killing. I'm just going to say that. Mood killing. And I couldn't go on. I just couldn't. No, that's what I... I started to fake laugh, you know, because it was a funny moment. I started to fake, of noises during sex and a lot of them could probably be mistaken for farts, but this was truly and surely a fart because what came after the funny noise was then a smell that was undeniable, right? And that smell, because I'm so sensitive to smells, I laughed, but it was a fake laugh just to like, lighten the mood, not to lighten the mood to give myself a fake laugh, just to like... Nicole Soule Lighten the mood. Jared Soule
Starting point is 00:18:45 Not to lighten the mood, to give myself a rip cord, right? Nicole Soule Okay. Jared Soule Essentially, so that I could explain while I was quickly gaining a softie and kind of run out of the room. It was gross. It was just gross. I was like, oh God, you couldn't have held that in till like, you know, later on tonight, when I was sleeping and headed out the balcony for a minute or
Starting point is 00:19:05 something. Or at least go to the bathroom. Yeah, I think that's like a good principle. That is a good principle. At least when you're first dating somebody is excuse yourself and go to the bathroom. Even if you have to embarrassingly admit that that's what you were doing. Yeah. I had some bad gas and so I went into the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Exactly. I think I'd take that any day of the week. Rather than experience. Over, yeah. I dated this girl one time and obviously I'm not going to say the name, but I dated this girl one time and it wasn't like date number two. And we were on my couch, watching a movie and she literally lifted up her leg. It was like, wow. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:47 And what do you say? It was like. All right. She was used to doing that. And I didn't know what to say. I really didn't know what to say. I thought, wow, well, part of me felt like I shouldn't say anything. This is a liberated woman who just feels like she can do whatever, you know, she should
Starting point is 00:20:09 do whatever she needs to do whenever she needs to do it. And I can appreciate that. But then part of me thought, no, Brian, there are some simple guide rails that you have to put on dating. And one of them is let's not fart until like the 50th date, the 50th date, then you get comfortable enough to lift up your leg and fart. But date number two. Ask me how long I dated that girl.
Starting point is 00:20:30 No more. On and off for three and a half years. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Didn't matter. There was something about the liberation then. There was something about that liberation. Oh God. Something about the liberation of the ass just made me so happy. And I hope you're listening to this during your breakfast. Yeah. Good morning. Something about the liberation of the ass just made me so happy. And I hope you're listening to this during your breakfast.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Good morning. Good morning with commercial break. They're doing your love making. This is why we can never have a morning show on radio. No. It's because Brian's mind works in this serious way. Hambone and Hoadley. Ah, Hambone and Hoadley.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Which we, I want to do another episode of Hambone and Hoadley, by the way. We should. Yeah, we're going to. So, all right, okay, listen, let's take a break and then we'll be back. I got something interesting to talk to you as if, as if morning farts wasn't enough to get you going. I got something else to talk to you about. Great.
Starting point is 00:21:15 All right, we'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio, video, and TCBdio. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at tcbpodcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number.

Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Oh, and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash the commercial break. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. I'm Tank Sinatra. And I'm Investanks and Atra. And I'm Investigator Slater. And together we co-host a podcast called Psychopedia, which is a true crime podcast infused with comedy making it a crime-ity. Each week, Investigator Slater brings us a wild and thoroughly researched true crime
Starting point is 00:22:17 case. I'm here to digest it all and react just like you probably are right there on the other side of the microphone. Somehow, I've got to present each case with the detail and respect it deserves, while also cracking up at Tank's perfectly timed humor and thought-provoking questions. Listen to and follow Psychopedia on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Okay, so Jenna in our audience, I'm going to do an Ask TCB next week. We're going to have a... Yes, we discussed that. But I want to throw out this, because it made me think, and it kind of piggybacks off what we were talking about with dating. Jenna from our audience, hi Jenna, wants to know how we feel about table-side manners when it comes to dating somebody. Table-side manners and being turned off by
Starting point is 00:23:05 how someone eats or what they eat during the initial courting phase of the relationship. Now here's my take on this. My parents drilled manners into my head, drilled it into my head. And then my former mother-in-law, my ex's mom, taught me how to eat like a French person. And so now I've got- She was literally Miss Manners. Literally Miss Manners. Had that, got that book. What is that book?
Starting point is 00:23:32 Emily something or other. Yeah, Post. Emily Post, she had that book in her house. She was all about table-side manners, like prim and proper eating, where you put the spoons in the forks. And she knew where all the spoons in the forks went. And she made sure I knew where all the spoons in the forks went before I ever met any of the additional family members. She wanted to make sure she wasn't, you know, she made me change my Birkenstocks and she made me learn manner.
Starting point is 00:23:53 But I did appreciate that at that time in my life. I had already, I think, been a well-mannered human being, but now I learned, like, I took it up a notch, right? I'm not expecting everyone's going to eat French style. I mean, you know, with French manners. I think that's probably taking it too far. I think I take it too far, quite frankly. But I do teach my kids manners too. I want them to know please and thank you. Yeah, general. Yeah. Are two of the most important words you can use and you do not slop food into your mouth like you're eating out of a pigsty. It's just not the right thing to do. Or at least in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:24:22 it's not the proper thing to do. You can bestow upon everybody else at the table a little bit of grace by not drooling your food all over your face. That's just a thing, you know, wipe your mouth when you're done. Yes, use the napkin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, what Jen is asking, and the reason why Jen is asking, there's a bigger story to this, and I'm not going to share all of it, but the bigger story to this is she is dating a gentleman. And the first couple of dates were non-food related dates. So she said they just went for like ice
Starting point is 00:24:51 cream one time and then they were at a movie and then they went to see a concert and then they went to some kind of festival or something. And then on the fourth or fifth date, they went and had dinner, like a proper sit down dinner. First of all, that's weird. Why wouldn't, you know, it took five dates to eat something? That's weird. Yeah, I know. Yeah, that seems like a go-to. But she said that she was very turned off by the manner in which the gentleman ate,
Starting point is 00:25:13 that he was otherwise a good looking dude who seemed like he had his shit together. And then he grabbed his fork like this and was like slopping it into his mouth. You know what I'm saying? He took the whole hand and wrapped it around the fork and then just kind of shoveled the food in. Now, I don't know, everybody grows up differently
Starting point is 00:25:33 and everybody has different parents. And I don't know what turnip truck this guy fell off of. But at the end of the day, I don't appreciate, I mean, I'm not gonna think you're a bad human being if you shovel food into your mouth. But it would be a turnoff. Certainly would be a turnoff. I don't appreciate, I mean, it's, I'm not going to think you're a bad human being if you shovel food into your mouth. No, but it would be a turn off. Certainly would be a turn off.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I also don't know that that's who I would marry, right? I wouldn't want to date them for a long period of time because I think I would be turned off by that type of eating. Well, right, because throughout then the rest of your life, you, there's going to be lots of eating situations, could be with office people, could be family, obviously friends. Friends? Sister wife? You never know. I don't know that that's hard to also like say, hey, what are you doing? I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:17 That's not something I don't think you can wait on to change. Yeah. Hey, darling, you're eating like a real asshole. You mind if I change that for you? Jenna Larson Yeah. Jared Ranere Because I don't know how old Jenna is, but by the time you're dating, you're living on your own and you're dating, let's assume she's in her 20s or 30s, but the same you're on your own and dating, you know, old dogs, new tricks, that's, it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. And when you're used to eating with your entire hand and just shoveling food into your mouth, it's probably going to take a lot of horse breaking in order
Starting point is 00:26:47 to get that in there. I agree with you here, Jenna. I can see why you're turned off by it. And I don't know, you could ask them to take an etiquette class. They have them out there. They're available. Jenna Larson Yeah, that's hard to bring up though. Maybe you could do, maybe you could, it could be a new activity to do together. Let's go to the eating class. You mean like a cooking class? No, no, no, no. It's where we learn how to eat.
Starting point is 00:27:15 No, no. We walk in. But there's going to be delicious food too. And there's 17 six-year-olds sitting there. Honey, I've got a fantastic date for you tonight. Listen, I'm going to drop you off at East West Middle School and you're going to go in there and you're going to come back a changed man. If you want to hit this, you got to get that. You know what I'm saying? You got to learn how to put that fork in your hand, honey. Yeah. I mean, that's going to be tough. Jenna, if you like them enough, if you do like them enough, and this is a big enough
Starting point is 00:27:48 turn off, this is not like trying to ask somebody to change their personality for you, right? Right. Please stop playing golf so much. Like that's not something that I think is, I mean, please stop playing golf so much. Okay, but please stop playing golf because I don't like small white balls. I don't like small white balls, right? I don't know, but that's one thing. Hey, I have an idea that could help us both because quite frankly, you eat like a monkey
Starting point is 00:28:14 who just snorted crystal meth and I don't appreciate it. Maybe there's a Groupon. There's a Groupon for that. Christy will find it. I know. Christy's the only person still on Groupon. Chris is the last human being. I used to love the Groupons until they started going really bad. I remember Jeff and I were first dating.
Starting point is 00:28:34 I was like, look, I got these massages for us, you know, and we drive like all the way out somewhere. I didn't realize it was far away. And then the massages were terrible. The woman was like just spreading oil and then took a cell phone call in the middle of the massage. I was like, it was like a couples massage, Jason, Jeff was next to me.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And so I was like, okay, maybe I need to be done with the group hug. When they said couples massage, they meant, come on, Jeff, we'll be a couple for an hour. I'll whack you off and you'll be gone. When you showed up, they were like, oh shit, we really got a massage. That Groupon was a thing for a minute, wasn't it? It was. It was hot.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Remember we tried to... I did like a painting class, pottery, massage. Oh God, it was terrible. It was everything. Yeah. And they all, most of them went bad. Yes. Unless it was just like, you know, two for one margaritas at Chili's or something like that.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Right? Half-price margaritas at Chili's. Anything service-based went sideways because the people hated you. The second you said you had a Groupon, they were like, fuck you. There's no money in this. I can't believe I got roped into this.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Now I owe Groupon a million dollars. They're never. There's no money in this. I can't believe I got roped into this. Now I owe Groupon a million dollars. They're never gonna let me out of the contract. These things live forever. It was a miserable thing. And I don't, is Groupon still around? I don't know. Are they a thing anymore?
Starting point is 00:29:54 I don't know, but remember all, like, Living Social, I think, was another one. All of these competitors popped up. Yes, they all popped up real quick, and they all went away just as quick. Yeah, because a lot of the places went out of business. Yes, some places did go out of business, that's correct. And I'm sure like Shirley's Etiquette School
Starting point is 00:30:10 was one of them. Two for one and she got a bunch of Jenna's boyfriends down there. That was group font. Yeah, I remember that at the radio station that we had some version of that too. Like, you know, I don't know. Daily deal. Yeah. 92.7 daily deal. Right. You know, two for one hot air balloons rides with Bob's hot air balloons. Bob's insurance covered the
Starting point is 00:30:36 last accident. Bob's we doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing.
Starting point is 00:30:52 I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing. I'm not doing what to tell you here. This is a good one, but a weird one. And I don't know how to- It's a hard one. It's a hard one because you're only a couple of dates in. I mean, if like everything else is great, everything else is great, then maybe you could
Starting point is 00:31:14 also give it another shot. Maybe he was just testing you to see if you really liked him. That's it? That's true. By slopping up his food and saying if she liked, this is a test. You know, there was that one show, which 90 Day Fiancé, where the girl came,
Starting point is 00:31:31 this guy was a entrepreneur, a real estate entrepreneur in Atlanta, which is like saying there's a pine tree in Atlanta. Everybody's a real estate entrepreneur in Atlanta. Yes, a music producer, a real estate entrepreneur, a hip hop mogul, I mean everybody. An actor, an actress, whatever. It's like, you know, it's not real. Everyone has three titles, including me, so don't worry about it. I'm throwing stones in a glass house on purpose. So, you know, the truth is this guy was a, what was I saying? He was a real estate...
Starting point is 00:32:04 The entrepreneur. This guy is a this guy was a was I saying he was a real estate entrepreneur Actually so accurate I know You were one for a while. I was I was it's true I was a real estate. I think I tried to help you I was a real estate entrepreneur. I think I tried to help you and your entrepreneur. Yeah, you did. I was your assistant.
Starting point is 00:32:27 But Chrissy smartly got out within six months. I stayed in for 10 years. I forgot where I was going with the real estate entrepreneur, I was talking about manners. You said 90 day fiance. Oh, 90 day fiance, okay. Guy's a real estate entrepreneur in Atlanta. Yes, of course, I like everybody.
Starting point is 00:32:44 But so one of his things was the girl coming from South Africa, wherever she was coming from to be his 90 day fiance, he was concerned she was going to want his money. So what he did is he instead of taking her picking her up in the airport in his Hummer, did you see that one? He picks her up in some like 1992 Chevy with a wheel falling off of it that he borrowed from Brian, his friend in the real estate business. Yes, correct. He's also a famous podcaster.
Starting point is 00:33:19 So Guy picks up, so instead of all the shiny toys in the big house, he basically picks her up in a shitty car and brings her to one of his investment properties that he just bought that basically looks like something straight out of A&E's hoarder. Well, no, I think it was like his- His grandma's house or something. Yes, his grandmother's house.
Starting point is 00:33:35 But he was gonna fix it up. It was a terrible- She was shocked. She was shocked, to her credit, because I would have gotten back on the plane. I am not that shallow of a person, but I don't care, I would have gotten back on the plane. I am not that shallow of a person, but I don't care. I would have gotten back on the plane. Well, this was before, cause leading up to this, he was flashy with his, you know, his watches and his stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:54 But he never did that with her. He would always like take the FaceTime phone calls against a white wall so she could never see his house. He was really overthinking this way too much. He was basically scamming her. I mean, opposite scamming her. He was like reverse scamming her. So anyway, so she shows up and then, you know, and she's like, whatever. And this goes on for like two fucking weeks before he eventually says, Oh no, this is my multimillion dollar. I just want to make sure you weren't in it for the money. And she was like, of course I was the entire time. He's kind of like, fuck you. Because that was mean. Right. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:27 To do to me. And also we're supposed to be getting married. Yeah. Why do we have to be married? You're $58 million in debt. You know, you pick me up in your Chevy Aldorado or whatever it is. Not even an El Dorado. It's an Aldorado. So the point is, Jenna, maybe he's trying to test you a little bit. Could be.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Could be. I mean, you guys didn't eat for four or five days. Maybe either he's testing you or he also knows how bad his table manners are. And he said, I want to avoid eating until she gets to know me a little bit. Listen, you know, truth and transparency, I've said this forever, and I believe it to my core. You can say anything to anyone. It's all about how you say it. That's it. You can say anything to anyone. It just depends on how you're saying it. If you come at somebody witchy, you know, witchy and bitchy, then it's likely you're not going to get the response you're looking for. If you say it with kindness and then say, I'm holding space for that, you can basically get away with anything.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Just say, I'm holding space for that. I'm holding space for that. I've got so much space for that. So just go to him, Jenna, and you say, hey, Rick or Morty or whatever your fucking name is, Ren or Stampy, you say, hey, listen, I think you're a great dude. And I think there's potential here.
Starting point is 00:35:46 I like you. We've seen each other a number of times. I think we can go with this. I think we can do this. But I'm a little turned off by the way that you're eating. It's not probably your fault, but I would love to see if I can help you manner up a little bit when it comes to the din dinner time exploits. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna play strip manners. I'm gonna take a piece of
Starting point is 00:36:10 clothing off every time you eat correctly. Well. Every time you set your fork down correctly after you're eating. I went out to eat with one of these dudes. I was also a real estate entrepreneur. Yes you are. Developers are a weird bunch of dudes. They come from all different, and girls, they come from all different walks of life. Some of them super successful. Some of them tell you they're super successful. Some of them are clearly never going to make a dime in the business, but they're trying anyway. God bless you, whatever it is you choose to do. I was at a dinner with a real successful entrepreneur, real estate guy, like guy that builds like,
Starting point is 00:36:46 you know, 40 story buildings and makes money off of it. And he's- The ones you like to go up in the elevator? That's exactly who I was with. Yes. The one I went up to the construction elevator with. And I went out to dinner with him and his team and some other people associated with- Other entrepreneurs?
Starting point is 00:37:01 Other entrepreneur real estate people, which was all of Atlanta. We all went to hells. Pookie and Snooki or whatever their names are. Pookie and Pat. And so I'm sitting across from a financier and a private equity guy who is doing private equity funding equity into these buildings. And he was shoveling food in his mouth. He was wearing a thousand dollar suit and he was shoveling food in his mouth. He was wearing a thousand dollar suit
Starting point is 00:37:26 and he was shoveling food into his mouth. Like he had literally, literally been born yesterday. He was like, he was chewing his steak with his mouth open. He had food coming down the side of his mouth. He stuffed his napkin into his shirt. Yes, I'm not even kidding you. Not even kidding you. Well, he had the thousand dollar suit. I thought to myself, pay a fucking thousand dollars
Starting point is 00:37:50 to get some manners. Just do that. I couldn't even... Or just get it dry cleaned. Chrissy, this is how I had the conversation with him. Like I have conversations with you is I'm staring straight ahead, but you're next to me. You know, saying I'd never look at you once. I did, because I couldn't handle it. I couldn't handle the shoveling of the food in the mouth. Had not all the noises and open mouth. Was he married? I don't know. I didn't ask him. I don't care. Probably not. I don't know. The only thing I remember about that fucking dinner is the dude who shoveled food in his mouth. That's the only thing I remember. That's how important I think it is. I mean,
Starting point is 00:38:25 listen, I get it. It takes all kinds. And again, you're not a bad person because you shovel food in your mouth. That doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount you. I just may not want to eat with you. I just may not want to eat with you. Beth Dombkowski What about like a really fast eater? I remember I was out to lunch one time. Jared Sosnowski Oh, guilty. Beth Dombkowski Oh, yeah. Guys do it, I think, a lot. Jared Sosnowski Yeah. Beth Dombkowski And not to say I'm like a super slow eater, but I'm a normal, I think I'm a normal eater.
Starting point is 00:38:50 I remember going out to lunch one time with this guy that I worked with and I turned around and I mean, we had just ordered and like just gotten the food. I turned around talking to somebody else, turned back around, it's gone. All of it. I was like, whoa. Yeah, that's a little fast. That's way fast. I speed up my eating. I've sped up my eating since I have children. Well, right.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I've been saying this for however many years I've had kids. One of these days, I'm going to have a normal meal again. I'm going to actually be able to sit down and eat my meal in peace. Every parent knows this. You cannot eat in peace when you have small children at all. Because the second you put your butt in the chair, they want something else. And the second you put your butt back in the chair, the next one needs the same exact thing that you just got. It'll be like, Daddy, I'm thirsty. Can I have some water? Sure, son, let me get you some water. You get up, you get the water, everybody in the kitchen knows exactly what you're doing. And then you sit back down and put the water down, and then my daughter goes, Daddy, I need some water. Why didn't you ask me when you got it with Matthias?
Starting point is 00:39:49 I didn't need it then. I didn't need it then. I wasn't thirsty then. I know. It's so terrible. It is a rotating thing of what people need. It's so, I know. But fast eating, I do. My dad used to tell me, he said, slow down, son, it's not going anywhere. And I think when you're in a big family, sometimes you eat a lot so you can get to second, fill yourself up so you can get the second so you can get more food. It's like a psychological
Starting point is 00:40:12 thing that goes on. Eating fast, as long as you're eating with manners, whatever. Okay, cool. On the other hand, I do have a friend and we so dislike going out to eat with her because a friend. And we so dislike going out to eat with her because it will take her seven and a half hours to eat the appetizer, the appetizer, and then forget about the real meal. And everyone heads, basically everyone hangs their head in total misery if the dessert menu comes out, because we all know we're here till fucking three o'clock in the morning. She doesn't care about being the last one in the restaurant. She doesn't care that half her plate isn't finished and there's nobody in the restaurant and the sun is coming up from yesterday. I mean, no, she doesn't care. She doesn't care. She eats so slow, a bite every half an hour. I can't take it.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Yeah. If you're out with people, you kind of need to match the speed. She doesn't get it. She does not get it. She does not get it. And I love her to death. I love her and love her love her. Please eat. How about a fork full every five minutes? That's still eating pretty fucking slow, but at least we're getting there. At least we're going somewhere. One every half an hour. And I don't even think I'm kidding here. If I brought Astrid in right now, she would tell you the same thing. If I said the name off air and I said, how does she eat? She would go, oh my God, I hate you. She eats so slow. We have kids. We don't want to spend our entire time away from our children with the babysitter that we're paying money for to watch you take one bite every
Starting point is 00:41:38 two days. Yeah. No, you should definitely catch the mood, the vibe. Because once you're there, then in the middle of the meal, you can't then say, oh, we gotta go while someone's still eating their food. I'm good at Irish goodbyes, but I have manners. So I know, at least finish the main course before you say goodbye. If you fail out on a dessert every once in a while, okay, I'm not going to think ill of you. But if I don't, I haven't even eaten half of my steak and you're already out the door. That's rude. I feel rude. But it took you seven hours to get there. You literally ate that first bite of food that you ate. You probably have to shit out right now. It's already digested. I'm already smelling the steak poots from your first bite because your body's already
Starting point is 00:42:26 processed it. Please eat faster. So here's the point, Jenna, as we go to break. My point is you can have a conversation with them or there's lots of fish in the sea and you can just move on to someone who's got the meat. I would try another meal and see if the same thing happened. And also, Gage, is this the last? Or are we going to work on this? Is this the last supper?
Starting point is 00:42:47 Or are we going to rise again? And you know, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I agree with Chrissy here. This is a fixable issue. If he chooses to get on board with the idea, and if you can find a way to wrap it into a conversation without completely offending him. Maybe the other thing is, if you don't get as upset about it as some people do, then you know what you do, you just let it ride for a couple more months,
Starting point is 00:43:10 really get into a serious relationship, and then you got all the room in the world to have that conversation. Because if he really likes you, he's likely to say, okay, I'm sorry, I didn't realize. I mean, everything else would have to be good, though. Great. You must be getting digged down. Everything, everything. Digged down. Yes, every other thing needs to be great in order to move forward with that for months. Yes, hurting and squirting.
Starting point is 00:43:33 That's what I gotta say. You gotta be hurting and squirting after lovemaking if this is gonna go well. If not, just find another dude. There's another dick out there somewhere. Glad you came to the commercial break for advice, Jenna. Question mark? All right, let's take a break and we'll be back.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Oh, yuckles. Oh, good old yuckles. Clown school and dating advice. Maybe we should add manner school. Oh, manner school. I'll teach etiquette. I'll do it in mass. I'll go live on that fucking YouTube. I'll figure out how to connect this thing to YouTube to go live so we can give them manners. So people don't eat like morons anymore. All right, we'll be back.

And don't forget to check out tcbpodcast.com because that's got it all. Speaking of having it all, let's listen to our fabulous sponsors and get back to the commercial break. Another thing that Jenna asked about that I forgot, the second part of the question was in the, it's not only about the way that he eats, it's the things that he has eaten
Starting point is 00:45:04 while they have been together. Jared Larsen Oh, right. Jared Ferold She says that he has a little bit of, like, I don't know, kind of like a down home. I think how she put it was down home. He eats the worst thing on the menu and then has it specially made. So, and I should pull up the text message, but what she said was, he ordered, they went to a restaurant, they had all kinds of things, steaks and pastas and all this, like a rather nice
Starting point is 00:45:30 restaurant. And then on the bar menu, where they were not sitting, they had a burger on the bar menu. So, when the waitress came, she ordered whatever pasta dish, and he asked the waitress, can I please get a burger from the bar? To which Jenna responded, hey, they have really good steaks and stuff here. If you want some meat, they have like a really good steak, you can get that. Because she was feeling kind of embarrassed and now he was having this special order, can I go get it from the bar kind of thing. And then the waitress goes and asks, comes back, she says, yeah, okay, you know, we usually don't do this, but okay, if you want a burger, they'll make a burger and they'll bring it over here to you in the dining room. And then he starts, like, special ordering it. Like, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:06 I want this kind of cheese, can you have extra mayonnaise, can I get two sides of ketchup, can… So, basically, they're at this nice restaurant and he asked for a steak with ketchup, basically, you know? And I thought to myself, well, I don't think that's as big of a deal as the way that you eat it, because tastes and food are particular. I eat cream and cereal for God sakes. I mean, there's lots of different things that people eat. And sometimes you're just that kind of person. Like you like that thing that you like and if it's on the menu, you want to get it and you don't want to go anywhere. I've said this a million times. Astrid and I, just like every other couple in the world, here's the comp when when we get a free time to ourselves
Starting point is 00:46:45 Here's the conversation. What do you want to eat? Where do you want to go to eat? I don't know. Where do you want to go to eat? I don't know you pick I don't know. How about Tommy's now? I don't want to go to time. How about John's now? We've been to John's a bunch. How about Alberto's now? I don't like Alberto's I'm not in the mood for that and then you end up going to the same place where you've always gone before Because that's it But I like that. You know why I like that I've decided in my old age? Because we've talked about this. Yes, we have. Because when you go and you branch out into something new, you end up being miserable,
Starting point is 00:47:15 no doubt. It always happens. You're just fucking miserable. You're like, we should have gone to Tommy's. We should have gone to Tommy's. But if I go to a restaurant, a new restaurant, and I see something I like, like if I go to an Italian restaurant, I happen to like lasagna or I like the piccolini or whatever they fucking call it. I like that. And if I go to an Italian restaurant, I want to order that. It's the measure of a good Italian restaurant to me. Do you make a good lasagna? A lasagna. Do you have a Chianti Classico? Do you make your bread with three-day-old croutons? Do you make your croutons with three-day-old bread?
Starting point is 00:47:46 Right. Yeah, you know. Do you secretly mix in anchovies into your Caesar salad even though half of America is allergic and sick from them? Yes, you do. If you do that, let's go to an Italian restaurant. If not, then, you know, I don't want to go out on a ledge. You know, if I go to a new restaurant, I'm not going to order, maybe if they have a house specialty, okay, but I'm not going to order some crazy thing off the menu when I can see that they have what I like right there. So I'm not blaming the person you're dating. I'm not blaming them as much for the choices of their food as to the way that they eat it. And now I'm
Starting point is 00:48:17 thinking about this. How did he shovel a burger? I was wondering that too. Was he cutting it with the fork and then shoveling it? Well, now if he cut the burger with a fork, that's a red flag. Yes, he is chopping up bodies in his basement. You know he is. So just forget about it. Just forget about it. Well, again, once again, I think it deserves another test, if you will, another situation. Well, and she said in the text messages that, or in the message that she had indeed been, they'd been out a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:48:50 She was just saying that this is like what she's noticed, what she's picked up. Oh, what has been happening. Well, she said on the first date that they went to, he was shoveling food in his mouth with a fork and she didn't like it and she thought that it was kind of rude and gross. I mean, it sounds like it's bothering her enough
Starting point is 00:49:04 to write into us about it. Yeah. Then I think it might be a deal breaker. I think so too, yeah. I think Jenna has basically wrote in to tell us she's breaking up with the guy she's dating. And wanted confirmation from us. She wanted us to make her feel good.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Well, Jenna, since you sent the message in four months ago, I hope you're still on with it. Let us know, let us know what happened. Yeah, give us some feedback. Keep us posted on that. Pun intended. Pun intended. What is like a, what's a bad thing to go out
Starting point is 00:49:34 and eat on a first date? Like what would you think if someone took you somewhere and you were like, oh no, I don't wanna go. Lentils, lentils and hot dogs. Yeah, lentils and hot dogs. Ribs, like something saucy and it's gonna get in your teeth. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:49:49 Yeah. Can I ask why every restaurant feels the need to put fucking parsley on top of everything? Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's like a little color and you can't really taste it. Who fucking cares? Yeah, you can't taste it. It adds no taste? You don't, yeah, you can't taste it.
Starting point is 00:50:05 It adds no taste. It adds no value. And I don't think it adds color. I think it adds grossness. Cause I know that fucking piece of parsley is getting stuck in this one gimp ass tooth I got. I know it is. I know for a fact it is.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Cause it does every time that I have parsley in my food and I'm not interested anymore. I don't care about parsley. Let's leave the parsley off. Well, start saying it. No parsley. No parsley. Hold the parsley. Let's leave the parsley off. Well, start saying it. No parsley. No parsley. How old the parsley? Yeah, parsley is a trick and it's probably full of diseases and rat droppings or something like that.
Starting point is 00:50:33 What? Yes. You know, you could go to one of those grocery stores. What do they call them? Grocery stores. What do they call them? They call them grocery stores. You can go there and get like a pound of parsley for a dollar. You're telling me that ain't sitting in rat shit somewhere? I know it is. I know it's the big, it's big parsley.
Starting point is 00:50:49 They're trying to get one in over on us. I know what you're up to, big parsley. Danielle Pletka Parsley, who are the lobbyists. Jared Saskar Oh, yeah, the lobbyists for big parsley. Everybody knows, stay away from big parsley. Stay away from Big Parsley. I think you just need to ask for no parsley. No parsley. You come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding and you ask me to take out the parsley.
Starting point is 00:51:23 You will pay. you will pay!" Jared Larsen Every fucking chef in America feels like parsley is a part of the meal. I hate it. I hate parsley. I really do dislike parsley. I don't find that, because once I learned that there was actually no flavor in parsley, like when I started working in restaurants, and I every, you know, I would work in the window where the food comes out and then you gotta put it together in the, you know, for one table and then the waiter takes it. And every time there would be like a big bowl of parsley
Starting point is 00:51:53 and every time the chef would be like, parsley, parsley, parsley. Sprinkling. Yeah, make sure it goes out with parsley. Parsley does actually have taste and is part of a good Italian seasoning, but the parsley that you're talking about as just a garnish, a little flutter of it.
Starting point is 00:52:09 You just don't like it because it gets in your teeth. I don't like it because it gets in your teeth and it serves no purpose and it just looks like weird bugs on your food. You're also color blind. Well that's true. It looks like black leaves to me, but I don't care. I don't like it. It's twice as disturbing to me as it is probably to most people. I don't like care. I don't like it. It's twice as disturbing to me as it is probably to
Starting point is 00:52:25 most people. I don't like it. A little dirty secret about parsley probably sits in the refrigerator for, you know, days and days on end in a bowl chopped up waiting to be dried parsley all over your food. No one needs it. You're not, it doesn't add any monetary value, any kind of flavor. It might be good in Italian dressing or Italian seasoning, but I guarantee you, if I went to today, right after we get done, and I went into that kitchen and I mixed up a batch of fresh Italian seasoning and I didn't put in the parsley, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. We're going to test this.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Yeah, I have no idea how to make Italian seasoning. Exactly. What do I need to make Italian seasoning? Salt, pepper, something, something. Basil, oregano, garlic. Okay, basil, oregano, and garlic, those things have flavor. And I know parsley has a little bit of flavor, but I ain't going to the finest Italian restaurant here in Atlanta. And then coming out of there and going, wow, that parsley, it really made the meal. I'm telling you what, that parsley. Wow. Why was that parsley fresh tonight? Yeah, no, you're probably not going to remember the parsley. Man, I'm telling you what, it was good. And then that ship came over. You'll know you had it because it'll be in your
Starting point is 00:53:42 teeth. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, everyone else will know I had it too. You never see a waiter come over with one of those like swirly things with the cheese. You never say, would you like some be-fresh-a-parsley? No, no, I don't. It's ridiculous. Why are we lying to ourselves? Parsley greater. Parsley is the greatest lie ever told in America. I'm sure of it. Why do we need it? For what? For whom? Who is the first person to ask for parsley? I'd like a spaghetti and meatballs extra parsley. Doesn't happen. Jared, Jessi, and Jared's Mom It's a garnish.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Jared, Jessi, and Jared's Mom Garnish, which means trash. I mean, trash-nish is what it should be called. Gar-trash. I don't know what it is. It's terrible. You're going to have a big parsley after you. I don't care about it. I'd rather have a big parsley than Scientology. I'm not going to tell you that much right now. You're going to start receiving lots of parsley. Parsley related. I know someone's going to say, do some research before you talk shit about parsley.
Starting point is 00:54:41 He used to like the show. Never listening to the show again. We'll get to that next week. Oh my God, Chrissy. I'm telling you, I'm telling you what, I just don't believe that parsley is the thing we should be putting on our food. No parsley for you. No parsley for me. You know what's going to happen? Next time I go to eat somewhere, they're going to go, there's that asshole. I see the asshole over there. The parsley asshole. I'm going to make him parsley with spaghetti and meatballs
Starting point is 00:55:05 instead of spaghetti and meatballs with parsley. Oh, I'm in trouble with big parsley. Yes, you are. All right. And you sound like a treat to go to dinner with. Oh, I'm lovely. I'm just enjoying the VR on right now. I was glad I made it through your test. Yeah. All these years. Yeah, you eat appropriately.
Starting point is 00:55:29 I don't think, you know, I don't think we've been over-parceled anywhere. Probably because we were mostly drinking. Yeah, that's true. 17 Bud Lights will do that to you. I'm just a miserable prick since I put down the Bud Light. Oh my God. All right, Wendy McClendon Covey we've had a lot of commentary about our wonderful interview with Wendy McClendon Covey.
