On this episode of the commercial break. This captain again, I'm going to turn the seatbelt sign off. I'm going to go ahead and use the bathroom as long as you use it quickly. Let's keep ourselves strapped in otherwise. We're currently number 57 for takeoff. So I think we, I think there's a couple extra minutes built in here. But currently clear skies in Atlanta, 85 degrees. When we get there, we're going to be at Gate T.

We'll have your baggage at 7. We're going to look the crew is going to take good care of you back there. Just sit back, relax. I'll have your back to our land just as soon as we can. I'll keep you updated when I get an update. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break.

I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show. Chris and Joy Haudley, best to you, Chris. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? I'm just going to take that earphone out. It's fucking with my head. Oh.

Can you hear you now? Hello. No, I liked it better when I couldn't hear you. Ah! Best of you, good thing. You had me on mute. I add you on mute. Well, you're in my left ear, so I had to mute you.

Oh, right. I can't hear me. I wanted to stereo. I want to not be able to hear you in stereo. How's that? I see if I put this back in and it makes a little bit of difference. Whatever. Who cares?

It's just a lot of bass coming through my left ear, so it sounds like I'm nasally or not clear. Whatever, no one cares. Welcome to the commercial. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. How is everybody? We're building an arc over here. I'm shocking and awing the pool and we're building an arc in the backyard getting ready for Tropical Storm Arthur, which is currently closing down the city. Right. I feel like this is a snowstorm with rain. Do you know what I'm saying? Exactly. Now everything's shutting down. Yeah, it's all bullshit. I was thinking about this yesterday or this morning when I got these, you know, weather warnings and notifications. I thought to myself, no one does. drama, no better than the weather people. Do you know what I'm saying? That's true. They're always telling you how bad it's going to be and five plus inches of rain and trees down and, you know,

travel disrupted. And it never ever happens. Never. Not once. It never happens. We had like six snowstorm warnings this last winter and not one time. Well, one time we got some, some people got some snow that didn't include me or anybody. I know. So, yeah. Fuck you weather people. Accue weather my ass Back you weather is more like it Fack you weather Fack you weather is what it is And it's gonna fuck with my pool

I was gonna say how is the pool The pool's great man I did it Okay you did do it Yes I did it and I Runed my children's eyesight For life in the process Last I Anybody who's been tuned into the commercial break

Knows that this is just basically turned into a saga About my pool For the last two months And I finally licked it. I licked the algae, scraping and brushing and pool robots. I had a super bloom or something, right? I had a mustard bloom in there. Yeah, which is about as lovely as it sounds.

It went from green to yellow. And that's the stuff that really sticks on. There's like this greenish yellow. It can really get nasty. And it got nasty. And as soon as we got back from Spain, I looked, when the sun came up, I looked and I said, oh, shit, I'm in trouble. And I must have dumped. 40 gallons.

40 gallons of shock in there. Excuse me. 40 cups. 40 pounds of shock into that pool, Chrissy. Day after day, hour after hour. I was doing it every four hours. And I had the new vacuum. There was a po-o robot that was doing the work.

And then I have to scrub the side of the walls to scrape off the dead algae. So the chlorine. A whole process. Geez. Fuck, man. But now that you've done it, I mean, we were talking before, like, you know, How do people know how to do the pool? Is there a school somewhere or whatever?

You could now do some online training courses. The funny thing is, is that Lance, Starbucks boyfriend, his daughter has a new house. They have a pool. They woke up one morning. It was the same color as my pool. And the pool guys kept telling him, oh, it's a metal stain. The water is metal stained. And I'm like, nah, that's not metal stain.

You got to shock the pool. Go to the pool store and buy 50 pounds of shock and just pour it in there. Whatever ails you, chlorine. Crystallized bleach. That's what it is. You know what they're doing to that reflection pool up in Washington, D.C.? They're pouring bleach in there. That's chlorine.

That's what it is. They're trying to do the same thing I did. So if Trump's, you know, best pool guy ever, Bitcoin is up there pouring bleach in their pool, I can pour bleach in my pool. That's what happened. I bleached the shit out of it. And it was awesome. Like last Friday? night. I couldn't see the stains anymore. I think I had scraped off 99.9% of the dead algae. There's a few little

spots. If you look really hard, you can see some green. And I'm like, that's it. I did it. I licked it. I tested the water. The chlorine was, you know, it's the color strips. Do you know what I'm saying? You dip it in there. Okay. So purple is like the highest level of chlorine in your pool, right? It goes from basically white to purple. And pink is where it should be. Somewhere between pink and really light purple. Mine was dark purple. Ten plus. I don't know. Ten parts per million. Whatever the fuck that means. So Saturday morning, woke up, tested the pool again. Still a lot of chlorine in there. Still way more purple than you would want. What do you do to counteract the chlorine? You got to raise the pH. You got to put stabilizer in it. Yeah, I don't know. Something like that. But I don't bother with that part. I just go one way. I don't want anything

living in my pool. I'm not looking to increase the pH of. in my pool. This is not a vagina. I just wanted to be clear. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you want your children to be able to swim in it. Well, I did let them swim in it. And then that night, all of them, ah, daddy, my eyeballs, Daddy! They're in the shower. They're like, ah! Oh, my God. They were fine in the pool, but as soon as I got out of the pool, they're like on the floor, like, ah! So then I'm like, we got to put vizine. Let's put vizine. and everyone's like, no, no drops. And I'm like holding their eyes open.

They're screaming for mercy. They're like, no, that's a joke, no! Every three hours I'm putting vizine. And I'm like, I'm being a good dad. Look at me. I'm washing their eyes. I'm making sure they feel good. And then I ask Chad.

I'm like, hey, Chad, how many times should I put vizine in my child's eye for chlorine poisoning? And Chad goes, do not put vizine for chlorine poisoning. Oh, no. Makes it worse. And I was like, well, dad of the year. my kids were waking up in the middle of the night. I need water. They're like guzzling water, burning eyes.

Their hair is all blonde and stringy. Oh, no. It was all, I poisoned them, basically. Yeah. No, I did listen. In the public pools, they, they're probably that you get the exact same chlorine level. Like, they really highly chlorinate hotel pools, public pools. Chad told me.

That's where I'm learning how to do the pool. A pool school with Chad. Chad told me, it said, hey, listen, you know, unless you're like swimming in chlorine, like in a bucket of chlorine, you know, you're going to be okay. It's bleach. It's like, you know, your body can handle it. It's just not, you're not supposed to be exposed to it for a long periods of time. What it did say was, what Chad did say, did you put sunscreen on the children? And of course I did. I'm a good dad. I put lots of sunscreen, lots and lots of sunscreen. Did you put face sunscreen on the children? And I was like, what's the difference, Chad? And Chad goes, well. If you're using like an adult body-based sunscreen and putting it on the children's face, it's likely that the chlorine is burning off the sunscreen. And then the sunscreen is causing the irritation, right? Yeah, getting sunscreen in the eye is very painful. No, yeah, it is because it sticks to your body for seven to 12 hours.

It sticks in your eyeballs for seven to 12 hours. So I just threw my children in a highly chlorinated water. And even six days later, when I went out and tested this morning, it's still on the purple. And like the corn hasn't quite burned off yet. So I threw some more shock in there. Okay, here we go. Just to be extra sure. I just want to be extra sure that I don't get that fucking mustard bloom again.

It's really bad. Plus, I have a tree at the end of the pool. And the tree is now leaning to one side. But it's leaning away from the pool because its roots are going underneath the concrete. and it's probably like hitting the wall of the gunite of the pool and it can't go anywhere so it's the the feelers are going out the other direction, the roots. So the tree is starting to lean away from the pool, but the branches are hanging over the pool, these huge branches that are way too high. Yeah, that's a big tree. And everything is falling into the pool.

I can't tell you the amount of ants, bugs, spiders, leaves. And the problem is, is that shit when he gets into the pool, and it starts to decompose. That's exactly what causes an algae bloom. It's raising the pH. It's organic material. So I don't know. You have to get out there with that skimmer.

Yeah, I called the tree guy and I said, hey, what do you think? We're just going to take this down. Don't let the city people know. Zub, and he said, hey, man, no problem. I don't know nothing. Take it down for you. What about just removing the branches? Yeah, I'm going to trim it up, is what I'm going to do.

I'm going to trim it up. And then in winter, if it's still continuing to, lean and it will be continuing to lean. I might have to take it down because it's a huge tree. And if it goes down, somebody could get hurt. And that could be the house that I live in with my children in that bedroom. So unfortunately, the twin trees, I kept one of them. One of them was really leaning over the house and I had to take it down years ago. And now I kept this one, but it has grown into a monster tree. The only thing that makes me sad about this, honestly sad about this, is I think there's like, there's a whole ecosystem going on in that tree. There are squirrels.

There are squirrel nests. I think there's a hawk nest up in the top of that tree. And I hate to take it down. But I'm not, but I won't do it now. I'll do it during the winter. And that way at least it's not like, and the nest is not in active use. The squirrels are, what do they hibernate? Where do they go for the winter?

I mean, I see them out there. Yeah, what do they do? How do you keep warm? Fur. Yeah, I guess. What do they do when it rains? You never see the squirrels out there when it rains. Where did they go?

Oh, yeah. They just hide somewhere. They get the trees. Yeah, or under the house or something. Yeah, probably in my gutter. It's probably where they go because I hear them up there. They found places. Little fuckers.

I like squirrels, though. I mean, it saved a squirrel. You did. I'm a squirrel emergency technician. If you ever have a problem with the squirrel, just call me. Didn't you say two squirrels? What was the one when you and Ashwood were at the beach that time? No, that was a bird.

That was a seagull. Yeah, that was a seagull that was covered in some kind of weird toxic substance that they use on the submarines down there. That's right. And it just washed up on shore and it did not look good. It's a neurotoxin. And we went to a bird sanctuary. And the bird was not looking good when we put it into a box that the people at the club where we were at the beach club where we were at gave us a box. We put the bird in the box. We call the bird sanctuary and they're like, yeah, it's 30 miles down the coast and we're not open today. So leave it in the bird box outside. Like they had a box. Like a deposit box. Yeah, like a deposit box with other birds.

in it like other people had dropped birds off. Wow. I told this story so many years ago. But Aster and I get in the car and we had like an SUV and we put the bird in the back and we closed the box. But as we started to drive, we could hear a little fluttering back there. So I said, hey, let's stop. Let's pull over. Just put it in front with us and that way you can hold the box down. Right. So we're driving. 30 miles down the coast. It's a beautiful drive by the way. You know, two-lane road on the coast, beautiful down there in Amelia Island to Jacksonville. Beautiful drive. Only the bird who was not doing so well when we picked it up suddenly did well and started

to fly around the car. And Astrid was losing her shit. I would have been too. Well, I was losing my shit also, to be fair. But that bird started flying around the car. And I'm driving like 70 miles per hour down the road. Astrid's screaming. The bird is like, ah!

Oh, God. So we had to pull over and knock it over the head and get it to come down. I had to put it back in the box and be like, shut up, sit down. I'm trying to save you. Yeah. Shut on we got and we put in the bird box. And I texted the lady and I said, hey, the bird's in the bird box. She said, yep, we'll get there.

And I said, okay, what, and I go, can you keep me updated? She goes, it probably isn't looking good. And I was like, is that because you won't be back until Monday to take care of the bird? Which, I mean, I can't fault the lady. She owns a bird sanctuary. where she's already doing her part. Like, you know, she got to take a day off. Yeah.

But I said, hey, you know, keep me posted on the bird. And she goes, yeah, we've had a lot of these birds and that not many of them make it. The only thing that I can do is just give it some fluids to flush the neurotoxin out. And there's a medicine that I can give it that hopefully, if it's not too far gone, we can recover. She goes, but, you know, nine out of ten of these birds don't make it. They just die. And I was like, that fucking sucks, man. It's some weird soap that they're used.

She said. It's some weird soap that they use to clean the submarines when they're in base. And she's like, we have petitioned the government. We have been talking to the Navy. We're trying to get them to stop using this particular soap because it's so bad for the birds. And she goes, and then it washes miles and miles up or down the stream. And I was like, that's kind of fucked up. It is.

I mean, listen, I know you need to keep the submarines clean and everything. You don't want any barnacles, barnacles on the subs that slows them down and, you know, can have problems when you're trying to, you know, need. nuke Iran or whatever. But at the end of the day, like, if you're going to kill a bunch of shit to then try and have a submarine that helps you defend the universe from killing a bunch of shit, then, I don't know. Are we, is like, even, yeah, it's like canceling out any good you're doing. Can't you use, like, Dawn, dish soap? Isn't that stuff? Do they, like, go take that stuff to oil slicks and shit? I think so. I've seen commercials for that. We've all seen the commercials.

Yeah, or they're cleaning the little bird. Yeah, it's a great commercial. If your bird gets stuck in an oil slick because of the Exxon Valde's. Dawn was right there to help you out. So why can't we just throw a little dish soap on those submarines? I know. I got a pool scrubber. I'll go out there with you. We'll scrub that algae right off that, son of a bitch.

Don't you worry. Brian's got a solution to almost every problem. At least he thinks he does. Right. It might not be the correct solution. Why don't we throw some, let's shock the submarine. Let's do that. We'll put some pool shock on it.

Chlorine. I'll scrub it. Yeah. I'll get my pool robot to go up and down it. We'll be, what? We're all good. We'll figure it out. We'll save some birds together.

You, me and the Navy. In the Navy, we'll be having some fun in the Navy. Yeah, the Navy was kind of gay from the beginning, huh? Like, with all that. I mean, I don't care about them. I'm just saying, like, you know, it's just like, in the Navy. A little dance. In the Navy.

Was Popeye in the Navy? He was, right? Popeye was in the Navy. Yeah. Popeye was a World War I sailor. And I've actually known some guys in the Navy. and tough motherfuckers, dude. That's when you go out on a ship like that for months on end and you have no communication and, you know, like you think about these people who have been deployed out in the Strait of Hormuz or out in the Gulf and or even the Mediterranean.

And, you know, they go on an aircraft carrier or the 15 ships that accompany an aircraft carrier. You're talking about tens of thousands of people out there living day to day, day, day, night, no break, no rest. On that ship. On that ship. Hundreds and hundreds of people, sometimes thousands in those big aircraft carriers. At the crew mess. Yeah, the crew mess hall that's like feeding 24 hours a day. I mean, we have all seen the YouTube videos about how people are a lot better than we are. About how there's actual heroes in the world. Right. We've seen it. We've all seen it. And then you think about, you know, oh, well, you're on your tour and you're doing your thing and you've been out for six months and you're ready to come home and spend a month at the house with the kids. kids and the family or just take a break, whatever your situation is. And then, you know, Donald Trump picks up the phone, Venezuela. And then you're out for another three months and then, you know, I mean, you know, Bitcoin. And then you're out for another six months. You're doing a year or 18

months without any R&R is fucked up. And then to do it all for nothing is the worst part about all of it, to do it all for fucking nothing. I mean, Republican, Democrat, everyone in the middle, we can all agree. This was one of the most pointless exercises in military history and 15 people lost their lives doing it. And that's just counting the Americans at the time, not the other people on the other side. So anyway, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I, my day job, along with the commercial break, is to be around journalists all day long, who are, you know, affiliated with both parties, center right, center left. And all of them were universally, like when the, yeah, when the text was released about the memorandum, all of them.

were like, wow, so much worse than we even could have imagined that we even thought. And that one guy said, I understand why they didn't want to release this. This is just bullshit. This is a surrender on behalf of the United States. And it's for nothing. Everything's same status quo, except 15 more people are dead and hundreds or thousands on the other side. So whatever, congratulations. But, you know, that's not the fault of the people who are bravely out there, you know, serving on behalf of the United States. It's the fault of people who are unbravely using the United States military for personal gain and agendas. It's fucked up. Yeah. But at least we got the reflection pool done.

And the UFC event. Did you see that? The UFC event? So let me. I did not watch it. Okay. This was idiocacy. Yeah. Oh, it's full blown. Idiocracy. The movie has come to life. It's happening in front of our eyes. Yes. It is one big fucking grift of the dumbest occasion. Now, I'm going to take a little bit of a stance here. I think maybe some people won't expect. The UFC event on the front lawn is bothersome to me, but it's not, I don't think, the worst part of all of this. I think the worst part of all of this is the grift that's associated with like Donald Trump posting on the official White House account about a betting app that he is

invested in. He's doing commercials from the White House is essentially what's going. That's the worst part. This is what scares me the most is not the UFC event in and of itself. What scares me the most is that this is the direction that at least 30% of the people who live in this country think is okay. Not the UFC event that we're doing commercials from the White House that were allowing fighters to get dressed in the Lincoln bedroom and, you know, get ready to have blood sport. So I was flying on Sunday night. Yes. And or Sunday afternoon. And, and, uh, or Sunday afternoon. And then, you know, I'm on Delta.

I'm on the Delta app. And it's like free 24 hours of Paramount Plus where the UFC was because I was going to refuse. I don't, I'm not paying for Paramount Plus. I canceled my subscription. Yeah. And I'm certainly not giving any money to Dana White in the UFC. That's just not going to happen. UFC is not necessarily my thing anyway.

But if a fight is on like free TV, on occasion, I'll watch it. And I was watching early UFC fights way back when it was really. a blood sport, like when it just had come on the scene. One, two, three, hoist, greasy, and all this other stuff. Right. So I got this access for 24 hours. So I connected my Delta app and I said, okay, all right, let me see what all of this is all about. And it was just the shit show that you would have expected. It was insane to me to watch all this stuff go down in the White House. The part outside the White House, okay, they built a stadium and a bunch of people. And 80,000 people showed up to watch that on the like the ellipse whatever they call that 80,000. You can you can talk about

Donald Trump's crowd size numbers being small or big or not there or whatever, but there was no doubt. There were almost 100,000 people there watching that fight behind the actual stage. And it's just weird to watch a blood sport happen on the White House front lawn. It really was. Really strange. And of course Trump was asleep the whole time and you know, I sleep the whole time. And poor Nate Bargazzi. Yeah, he's been outed. Nate. So, buddy. If you would have gone to a Nate show, I think what I, I think what a lot of people liked about Nate is that he was apolitical. He was like this weird, you know, like every once in a while you meet somebody and you believe that they truly are asexual. Like, there are people who are asexual, but you meet

somebody and you think that they are truly asexual. Like there is nothing that, they don't talk about it. You don't think they have it. They've never seen a the boyfriend or a girlfriend. Like they're just, okay, they're there. Yeah. That's what you liked about Nate Bargazzi. He was just there. There's sometimes comedians, like Zoltan is one of those guys. I think if you watched him long enough, you could probably guess which side he would vote for. But he never talks about politics. I never heard him talk about politics. Or if he does talk about politics, he's equally offended. I mean, probably best to be that way to get the most audience, right? Well, I mean, depends on what kind of comedy you're doing, right? There's George Carlin type of comedy where you

poke fun at the political universe and you're very pointed about but carlin was truly a centrist like he did he didn't care he would make fun of republican or democrat but you know to show up at the ufc event when you are the best selling live comic maybe in a generation he is selling out like the georgia dome no i know his crowd talk about crowd sizes yeah yeah yeah you just alienated you know 50% or more of the crowd just because you was so I mean and Nate has PR people we know Nate's people like they they know this they it's not like he didn't he could have watched it at home yeah yeah and then he took a picture with a bunch of people so not only did he know it he probably knew understood that people were going to figure out that he was there what really surprised me about this whole UFC thing and I didn't watch

the whole thing I didn't watch it minute by minute I had it on my phone and I was watching a new little people related show on TLC which I was really excited about. I want to tell everybody about it. Yes. There's a new one? Yes. If there's a little people show on TLC, you better believe that Brian's tuning in. I love it. I love it. I'm all about it. I'm obsessed with little people, the big world, seven little Johnstons, and now little singles, or I think that's what it's called. Little Singles. I think that's what it's called. I got to tell you, Chrissy, this is some of the most entertaining television I've seen in a long time. Anyway, so, you know, I was not tuned into the whole thing, but when they started pan-like, you know, they do the celebrity round-up in those things and between fights, they had a hard time finding a celebrity because they were pointing out like, who's the guy, the comedian that went up, Tony, Kill Tony guy?

Oh, the Kill Tony. I read a horrible review about his special. I mean, it just said, you know, yeah, he's got like the off-collar jokes that still are cringy, but also that the special itself is just like, like rambling and not good. Did you expect that Kill Tony goes up and judges other comics, but I've never seen a good set from Kill Tony himself. I never really knew who he was, but. Yeah, I don't know. But, you know, cheers to him for having such a successful live podcast. I wish that we could even have half that success, right? It's on Netflix and they sell out Madison Square Garden. So I'm not begrudging his success. But his talent is another thing altogether. Yeah. Like, you know, You know, Howard Stern's a good radio disc jockey. I don't think he could do an hour and a half of stand-up comedy.

Right, I agree. I think because he works around comics, people assume he is a comic. And I'm not sure that the Kill Tony guy is, you know, I'm not sure that that's his thing. I don't know, but maybe it is. Anyway, it was a hard time finding a celebrity. I didn't see any in the audience. I wonder why they didn't pan to Nate. Hmm.

I don't know. Maybe they had to deal with him. I won't show you. But they kept showing Trump, and half the time he was like, no. And then there's like also like a monster. energy drink, like sponsored ad right next to it. Yeah.

It's all these. The whole thing is just surreal. It honestly is surreal. We're there. It's the, we're late stage democracy kids and that's just the way that it is. But anyway, at least we got that thing story.

In any case, I will say I celebrate the end of conflict because it's never a good. And we don't need any more people dying over the silliness of one or two human beings. And you notice J.D. Vance is now out there on his apology tour. He's already running for president and distancing himself from Trump. This is going to be interesting to watch over the next two years, kids. If Trump makes it to the next two years. Vance is gathering ye. What did you say? Gather ye rosebeds? He's gathering ye rosebeds. He just came out of that book, too. Yeah, about being Catholic. God, give me a break. Give me a break. Talk to the Pope about it. All right, we'll take a break.

When we get back, I'm going to tell you about some television and I'm watching. I've got a great story to tell about the wedding. I'm shoeless Joe Jackson at the wedding. I'll tell you all about it. Oh, look, there's some people in the, okay, let's go to the chat real quick. Before we take a break, we'll just say hi to some people before we go to. Oh, hello. Hey, everybody.

How you doing? All right. I like the deal. Some of Mercedes-How says I like the deal. That woman is still around. She was there 15 years ago. I don't know. What?

Who is there? I don't know. We might have to start from the top. Yeah, okay. I'm starting from the top. I just don't understand. Yeah, that's soap. Here's someone talking about the soap contains PFSAS compounds.

And I don't understand a fucking word that you just said. But I agree. PFSA, stop all that stuff. Are they the forever chemicals? What's that? Aren't they the forever chemicals? They are the forever. Oh, the forever chemicals.

There you go. go. All right. $2,000 per taxpayer for the Iran war, plus the inflation, it's terrible, agreed with you. And we got nothing out of it. Not a fucking thing. No agreement on anything. And we're giving them $300 billion to rebuild what? Their arsenal of weapons. And then Trump was like, well, if Saudi Arabia has weapons and Iran should have weapons. I'm sure Saudi Arabia loved to hear that, Trump. But, you know, you're now putting them on par. They're now a superpower. Congratulations. You did it. Back to the future, Biff Tanna for Back to the Future. Biff. How many audience members were bust in from that? A lot of people were saying that there was a whole thing about the military being told that they needed to sign up and be fit. Yeah. Yeah, there was the whole thing.

But I will tell you that the 80,000 people who were in the ellipse seemed to be just UFC fans in general. I don't know if people were bust in for that. I'm sure maybe some people took a bus there. But there was no doubt. There was a large crowd there took a bus there. Oh, how the bargatsies fall. Yeah, disappointing. I just went and saw him live a couple months ago, maybe a year ago.

And I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours that he was on stage, hour and a half that he was on stage. He killed it. And not a fucking word about anything. He didn't get even come close to political. And I think that's why, you know, you looked in the audience. It was a good slice of Atlanta for sure. or on the whiter side, actually, when I think about it. But, you know, it's Nate Bargazzi.

Yeah. Yeah. And then, have you seen his new movie, the trailer for his new movie? No, you haven't. Exactly. There you go. All right. Okay.

So let's take a break. Keep on chatting in the chat room. Good to see everybody. Thank you very much. Cheers to Jenny. Oh, maybe I don't see Jenny in there, but hopefully Jenny. Yeah, surgery went well. All right.

That really wasn't that difficult. Now was it? You're welcome.

watching at yourself are these two making sense at least i didn't love it love that song good job girls good job girls what is this show about this is fucking sad that was great oh that was great i have to i should update the song with the new bad reviews like i've seen some new bad reviews i should update the song with new bad reviews they're all over the podcast apps i mean all we have to do is all i have to do is just tell chat to go read the podcast ads, podcast reviews and, yeah, comments and there you go. I just read a terrible article. Saw a video, actually. You know, yesterday I was in New York. I'm not really close to Central Park, like south down in Soho. But yesterday, at some point in the day, I was on the rooftop working. And I heard, there's sirens all day, all night. But I heard a massive amount, like a lot, a lot of sirens, all kinds of helicopters flying everywhere.

And yesterday there was like a horse and carriage. One of the horses went nuts and just started running and it had passengers in the back. Oh, my God. And it threw the guy who was, you know, the whatever you call carriage driver. The ringmaster? Yeah, the ringmaster, the horse slayer. I don't know what you call them. And the horse just went, it just started running into Central Park.

Excuse me. And it killed somebody. And that's really sad, somebody in the back. Yeah. Listen, I think those things are so cruel. Like, stop. I don't like them either. Stop bit.

They're running on, like pavement. Like, they're not supposed to be on the pavement. And Central Park is a little different because they have, like, sandy paths, but at places. But come on, stop it. It's 2006. Get yourself a Tesla or a Waymo or something like that, right? Yeah. I'm not going to take a drive-in-a-moo.

Even though I don't want to go to a Waymoo. They have Waymoos in Atlanta now. Did you know that? Of course. I've been in one. A Way-Moo in Atlanta? Yeah. You went in a Way-Moo?

I did. Jeff and I went in one. Huh. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, it was. It was interesting. I think that's cruel, too.

I mean, does that Waymu have any choice? in driving? No, it does not. We went to Zoltan and we saw a Waymo stuck at a traffic light. It did not know what to do. It was totally confused. That peatstree and spring like intersection, it was just like, ah, eh, yeah, there's stuff all over Instagram about where they get, you know, a bunch of them. Oh, people were taking a video and there were people in the back of the car and they didn't know what to do. And it was like, get out. Just get out. I think they were going to the Zoltan. show too and like we were right across the street and we just kept i just like standing there for a second waiting for the stoplight and i was like just get out what are you doing you know the guy was like oh what are what are you going to do reason with the car well you can contact a live person when you're in there oh you can yeah oh there's someone on deck someone on board yeah where are they they're in san francisco yeah what a what a nightmare i pass them all the time they're all over downtown i just don't love the idea that like, I mean, I know they probably drive better than humans on the average, right? But it only works if everyone's, you're only going to solve the problem of deaths via vehicle and dangerous activities via vehicle. If everyone is on board with AI driving, everyone, right? That's the only way, autonomous driving. Because if one, there's one idiot out there driving, I mean, I drove home from the airport last night, 2.15 in the fucking morning. And I'm telling you,

What? The way that people drive downtown Atlanta is absolutely insane. You have to be so defensive. Yes. And the less traffic there is, the worse it is. Why? That's true because they can go faster. Yeah, because there's fucking morons going 115 miles per hour on the highway. And Atlanta is unlike any other city in the world in that blind people literally drew the map. Blind people. They were like, oh, one eye closed to see what we can do, Captain. There's a left turn in our highway and our major thoroughfare, I-75. It is one of the largest highways in the country. It's like 22 lanes at one point. It's huge. It's huge.

11 on each side. And in that 11 lanes, there is a left-hand turn that no one, even people who have been living here their entire lives, know how to navigate. And the more open it is, the worse it is, because people just go. I mean, they go so fast. And then you're taking a left-hand turn, literally, is that a 90-degree turn on a highway that's got 65-mile-per-hours on? It's 65 miles per hour. It's insane.

And if you ever been to Atlanta, you know, we didn't do the best job of, like, identifying streets and highways. It's all over the, but sometimes you exit left, sometimes you exit right. Sometimes there's street signs, you know, that accurately mark where you're going, and a lot of times there's not. It's like driving. It's like driving on LSD is what it is. That's what I liken it, too. I know. There was even, I was driving Rachel home from, she had surgery, you know, a couple weeks ago.

Yeah. I was driving her home for that. And there was a, you know, the yellow sign where it says, you know, exit, exit only. Yeah. Like on the, you know, the big green one that has the street. It was just in the, it was supposed to be pointing to a lane, but it was pointing to the middle, like where the lines were. Yeah. Good.

Exit only. Which lane is? Yeah, kind of fish. I don't, you pick. You choose. Yeah. What's your call? It's like a choose-your-own adventure with the street signs around here.

And then one street is named one thing, and then it just changes to another name. Yeah. P. Street Street turns into Lafayette Street, turns into Deerborn. The cab turns into this. Yeah, no one knows. Astrid, when she first moved here, she said, it's amazing. You can get anywhere in town. Like, Brian, you can get anywhere in town just on back streets, backwards.

And I said, yes, because when you live in a city like this, you need to learn how to survive. And survival means getting the fuck off the main roads because people drive like absolute shit in this town. If you grew up driving in Atlanta, you literally... You get a crash course. Yeah, a crash course. And you fall into one of three categories.

I'm scared, so I drive very slow, so that I don't overcorrect, make a mistake. Yeah. Or it's just a scary place to drive. Which is also a hazard on the road. Absolutely. Absolutely. You'll run into people going 115 miles per hour in the far right lane, and then there'll be someone going 36 miles per hour in the far left lane. And they won't move. And then when you pass them, you can see, you can see the fear in their eyes. Yeah, that's true. They're clinging the steering wheel. Yes, because they don't know. They don't know what to do. They're paralyzed. They're foot is on the gas just a little bit, and they're just hoping no one hits them, right? They figure if they go slow, no one can hit them. They're the little protective bubble. And they do it in the left hand lane. There's number two is you are a fucking moron.

You decide with less than a quarter of a mile to go going 96 miles per hour that this is your exit. Yeah, you need to all of a sudden get all the way over. Wee. You've even knew I've witnessed many people that have passed the exit, but then still get up. They back up. Yes. They back up. It's the most dangerous shit in the world.

Go to the next exit. Turn around. Be a human being. And then there's the third kind of driver. You're a Brian. You know how to drive aggressively. You understand how to defend yourself. You're always looking around you to see what's coming next.

You're always have to be aware of. Yes. But you're also going 150. You're always going too fast. I was driving so fast home last night. Well, you were ready to get home. Oh, yeah, I was. But there were like four guys going way faster than me, so I figured, well, you know, I figured

that police math that we all do. You can't get that another ticket. Our insurance just raised $119 a month. A month. Astrid is so pissed. She does not want to have anything to do with me anymore. Anytime I drive, it says, slow down. And I'm like, I'm not going that fast. I'm going 30 over. I'm going 30 over. But that guy's going 60 over. So, you know, I'm doing police math in my head. I figure if that guy's going faster and I am, they're going to get him. But I tried that on my first ticket and it didn't work. There was a guy going faster than me, but the officer said, yeah, but I got you.

But I called you over. Yeah. Yeah, last night was weird because, listen, I just have no luck on this LaGuardia to Atlanta leg. I know, it sounds like it. It's terrible. And, you know, I usually fly home on Tuesday nights. This was a Wednesday night. And I knew that there was weather coming in.

So I already kind of worked in like a 15, 20 minute delay. But I also knew we were going to get out before the weather came. So I figured if we can get out, it was originally 8.30. I figured if we get out before 930, we're unlikely to have major delays, right? And so when I got to the gate, time to board, 7.50, whatever, you know, delay, 15, 20 minutes. Okay. Then delay. And people are still coming off when the boarding time is.

So I'm like, okay, well, we're not getting there, you know. So finally we get on the plane about, let's call it 930, 940. 930, 940, it takes an extra long. Something happened on the flight before. It was coming in. It was coming in. They had to, you know, tape someone up or something because the flight attendants were still talking about it. Some people at the gate had seen somebody being yanked off or something because the flight attendants were answering a lot of questions about it.

The flight attendants were great. They're always great at Delta. They are. But then I opened my little app. I got the best app. I'm going to share it with the audience here. It's called ATC. I need to get that out.

I want you to watch this. Just for a second. And guys at home, you can open up your app, your ATC app if you want to, if you want to play along at home here for a second. Watch. Now I'm going to go to LaGuardia. Watch. Huh. Watch this.

Hold on. Stick with me. Give it a minute. Oh, this is ground, Maine. Let's go to Tower, Maine. Okay, here we go. It'll show you the plane that they're talking to. It'll focus in on the plane.

in on the plane that they're talking. Zoom's in. It zooms in. And then it zooms back out. And then when they talk to another plane, it'll focus them on that plane. So you can really, if you're like a flight junkie, if you like to watch airplanes like I did. ATC live air radio? It's just called ATC.

It's a yellow. It's a yellow app. Yeah. Live air traffic. Yep. It's that one. It's like $67 a year or something. But it is just fascinating.

So I've been playing with this. This just came out. I've been playing with it for a couple of weeks, I think. So I'm watching it last night as we're on the plane. I got stuck in the middle seat because I got a window seat, but then they upgraded the plane to a larger plane. And they put me in the middle seat. Fuck that. I deserve better.

I fly every week. But anyway, so I'm stuck between these. Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who I think I am? Don't you know who I think you think I am? Don't you think I know who you think I like that? Go in your Delta app and put in your, there's preferences for that stuff. There is?

Yes. What? Yes. Well, they should tell me stuff like that. I'm an important person. When Brian Green steps onto a plane, people go, Oh. Sir.

Sir. When I show up with my tasty teeners out, and I said, bring me a sprite and an extra small biscoff cookie for my tasting. And I rub it up against my scrotel area. Yeah. They go, it's Brian from the commercial brain. So I'm sitting next to a, uh, two ladies. The one lady and I are almost right next to each other in line. Actually, she was right

behind me. So we both get in. I get in the middle seat. Perfectly lovely lady. She's looking for a plug. She can't find it. Plug it into mine. No problem. I'm just trying to be a nice guy. Of course. Right? And then you don't know what to do with your arms when you're in the middle seat. Well, the middle seat gets the arms. That's what I think. That's the rule. Right. But apparently no one I said next to believes that. I'm usually sitting in the window seat. So usually it's this guy. Yeah. You know, he's got his arm on my lap and I'm like, come on. I sat next to this Indian guy on the way there. And there was, listen, I cannot tell you, this boy was so big. He was like chest, belly, the whole thing. And he literally was like this. He just sprawled. He had his arm in my chest, right? And he, I'm not going to say it. I'm not

going to say it. Because I'm going to be a nice guy. I'm going to be a nice, polite human being. I just take it. I just took it. That's I did. I took it. I said he's got the middle seat. Okay. And at least I got the window, I can go like this. But still, he's like rubbing my, and then falls asleep and his arm, his hand is like on my lap. And I'm like picking him up by his, by his like collar, like, the sleeve. I'm like, ding, you know, and it falls back over. This happened three times. But this is on the way there. On the way back. So now I'm sitting in the middle seat. And then some, the last person on the plane. The last person on the plane. I thought we had an empty seat next to us. I thought me and this later are going to have a wonderful ride together because I'm going to jump over. here. And we're going to have this middle seat. We can just put our, you know. I had an empty middle seat on a recent flight. It took. It was the only empty seat on the whole flight. It was nice. And when you have an empty middle seat, you split the chair. Yes. Yeah, I'll take the right side. You take the left side. We'll put our stuff there. Right, right. We'll be partners in this whole thing. We've been blessed by God. Pennings from heaven. Let's be nice to each other. But five minutes after every other person on the plane had sat down, some lady comes scrambling in.

with four separate bags, a huge bag of food, you know, all disheveled. She's got hair down to here and she comes sitting in. She waggles her ass right in front of me and sits down and she's flipping her hair all over the place and she's trying to get settled in. Oh, God. So I open my ATC app and all I see is a line of airplanes squiggling around the airport. And I thought to myself, what's going on? But because I am a pilot at one time tried to be,

I understood after just a few minutes of listening that runways were closed and there was only one opening and they were pushing tin. What does that mean? They were landing and taking off on the same runway, just tight as they could. At LaGuardia. Yeah, at LaGuardia. One mile final, somebody's taking off. Somebody lands. One mile final.

I mean, this guy who was doing the tower that last night, he was on it. He was doing it. But when we backed away from the gate and then, oh, first of all, they couldn't start the engines again. I think I told you they had this problem. So they had to bring the jumper cables or whatever they did. That's always nice. It always feels good when the guy says,

yeah, we're not able to start the engines. But don't worry, no big deal. We're going to bring out of her car and jump the, we're going to give it a jump. Give it a jump. It's an airplane. Shouldn't it start? It's got a bunch of fuel in it. It shouldn't just be able to start on its own.

But nope, so we get jumped. That's 15 minutes. Now we back out of the gate and we're just sitting there by the gate. And I'm watching all this go down. And I can see. There are at least 50 planes waiting to take off on this same thing. Are we getting in line in the pilot? You know the pilot.

From the flight took, this is Kevin Vennan. Got to have you here on the Delta plane. Let's go out from ATC. Just a few planes are front of us. So we're going to get in line here. It's got to be a few minutes. Everyone can just sit back and relax. We'll get you to Atlanta just as soon as we can.

We'll try and make up some of this time in the year. You can try and make up some of the time in the air. What do you mean? I always say that. Yeah, they always say that. What does that mean? I don't know. Is there a shortcut?

Yeah. You're going to take a shortcut? Catch the win or something. Are you going to take the back streets? What are you going to do? How are we going to get there? Right? Okay, you're going to push it.

I understand. You're going to go like five extra knots per hour. But, you know, listen, when they say it's two hours and 25 minutes, what it really is is an hour and 45 minutes. It's gate to gate. They're building in the time gate to gate. They want to be on time. So then eventually we pull up and then he goes, you know, 20 minutes later.

this captain again I'm going to go ahead and turn the seatbelt sign off and I'm going to go ahead and use the bathroom as long as you use it quickly let's keep ourselves strapped in otherwise we're currently number 57 for takeoff so I think we

I think there's a couple extra minutes built in here but currently clear skies in Atlanta 85 degrees when we get there we're going to be at Gate T we'll have your baggage at 7 we're going to let the crew is going to take good care of you back there Just sit back, relax.

I'll have you back to Atlanta just as soon as we can. I'll keep you updated when I get an update. Okay, thanks. So now everyone's like, so the lady next to me opens the little tray and she pulls it out. And I'm like, please don't be something fucking smelly and bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, she had the bag of food.

Did you see where the food was coming from? It didn't say. It was like a, you know. An unmarked back. An unmarked bag. Food. Yeah. It's like a Coles bag, but there's food in it.

So you know that it didn't come from a human source. She opens it up. And it was a burrito of some sort. And there were sauces, not a sauce, sauces. So she's like, the smell coming off of this thing. Oh, no. It smelled like lamb and putrid feta cheese is what it smelled like. Chrissy, I was literally like this, right?

And I look over at the lady next to me, and she's like, She, like, gives me this smile. Like, we're both dealing with it. Yeah. And then the stewardesses come by, the flight descendants come by, and they got this big, huge bottle of water. And they're like, okay, anybody in a glass of water? I'm going to hand out the cups, and I'll come by and I'll pour some in there. Yeah.

You know, if we got to get to the bathroom, let's get there quickly, get there quickly. Well, then I noticed they're starting to, like, a line backing up at the bathroom in the front. There's one fucking moron who decided to use the bathroom quickly meant take a hot shit in the bathroom. for an hour. So we're like now another hour into it, and we're literally inching our way, snaking our way around the taxiways. And I can keep on watching that ATC app, and I can just see. It's just we're not going anywhere quick.

It's not happening. From the flight deck to scaffoldingate. Really appreciate our patience tonight. It's got an update from the tower. Currently number 37 in line. And they're down to one runway here. Not really sure why that is. But I've been talking to Tower in our company,

and we're going to get you there just as safely and quickly as we can. ETA into Atlanta now 126 a.m. But we'll try and make up some of the time on the ground. Winds are southwesternly. I've got some high serious clouds. We're probably going to climb up to 26,000. Keep it nice and smooth. I'm going to give you a smooth ride tonight.

Down in Atlanta, 87 degrees. Claire skies. Looks like it's going to be a wonderful night for a flight. We're going to go over the Blue Ridge Mountains. We'll get a chance to get some clear air at about

12,000 as we head into Atlanta. Expect a quick flight tonight. It's me and Co-Captain Peter here up here tonight. Thanks for sticking with us. We're going to update you here shortly. so everyone just get to the bathroom, get back to your seat. Okay, all right.

Flight attendants, please unprepared for takeoff. Unprepared. Please do you prepare. Thanks very much. So I'm like, so it took us an hour to get 20 planes, right? Which makes sense. Three minutes, landing takeoff, landing takeoff, landing takeoff. So I knew it's going to be at least another hour.

So now we're getting close to, I don't know what time it is. It was whatever god awful time. It's a god awful time it is. And then, you know, I can see us getting closer. Now it looks like we're like number four. And then... From the flight, from the flight. Got a company playing in front of us has an engine problem.

So we're waiting for... Waiting for ground crew to come out and take a look at that. And then hopefully we're going to be number four or five for takeoff. Probably another 20 or 30 minutes here, folks. I really appreciate your patience. I appreciate you flying with the Delta. Currently 87 degrees in Atlanta. Winds another southwest.

And I'm like, I don't give a fuck about the weather in Atlanta. I want to get to Atlanta. I know. I know. It sounds great in Atlanta. Can we be there? Can we drive around the plane? You're going to tell.

And then you can't go off the runway. You can't go off the runway. Is it a billion dollar plane and you can't take it off the grass a little bit? Come on. When I was flying, I took it on the grass all the way. a time. That's where I tended to land on the grass. So finally, we take off. To be fair, I was watching that ATC app. We were trucking. We were going 500 knots. Yeah, we were just passing planes. Like higher than, you know, the higher you go, the faster you go, because there's less resistance,

right? So you can go faster. So that's why pilots like to fly high is because they can get up there and go. But I'm telling you what, Chrissy, like, we were just like passing planes. And I was like, oh, he really is making up the time. Yeah. The time I got home and got my head into bed, it was well past two in the morning. It was just a fucking cluster fire. I have no luck with that. And listen, I know the pilots, they're a bunch of, like typically dry human beings.

You know, the personality, you have a real type A personality to be a pilot because there's a lot of stuff to pay attention to. Yeah, you got to be precise. When they tell you to turn in a certain direction, you can't go, is that kind of left? Right. Yeah, kind of east or kind of west? You can't fly willy-nilly. It's not like driving down on 85 here in Atlanta. You have to pay real close attention to what they're telling you.

You get instructed on what to do and you have to pay attention. But at the same time, like, only you listen to that ATC and you hear pilots that have wonderful, you know, those throw in little things here and there that are funny. You know, it's kind of talking to the tower or whatever. Now they have this thing where they go, see ya. They say, winds out of right, one three, Delta 444, you know, clear for takeoff. And then he goes, you know, wins out of the right, three-four-four, take off on runway one-ray, one-three. See you. It's like they have this thing where they just say see you back and forth.

It's kind of cute. It's cute that the pilots are having fun. Why don't they show any of that personality when they're talking to the people in the back? I know somebody said airlines need to hire Brian just for the cabin announcement. I agree. 100%. 100%. And if we're spending a billion dollars on an airplane, can we get a professional microphone?

Can we get something that sounds? Right. It's clear. Yeah, it's clear. I sound clear. I spent $70 on this. Why can't we get this in the airplane? I don't understand a fucking word they're saying half the time. I know. I think they're talking too close to the microphone. Well, they have them in their, they have them on their mouth. They're like those mouth microphones. Okay, so it's too close to the mouth. Yeah. Well, it's the pilot. It's fine for when you're talking to ATC. You want to make sure it's loud and you want to make sure it's in your mouth, basically. So you can't get all that extra noise. But when you're talking on the inner calm that's got 50 different, you know, broken. popped. And they had the volume up to 30. It's like, come on, guys. It's, you know, come on. I don't know. Can I tune in via Bluetooth or something? And I hate it that if you're watching something, it's like while they're talking. It's an announcement in progress.

I don't care. I've heard it before. Let's be real about it. If the plane goes down, it doesn't matter if there's a flotation device under me. I'm not floating anywhere. I'm dead as a doordale. Airline accidents typically don't. have survivors. But the good news is, is airlines typically don't have accidents. True. So there you go. At least not here in the United States, it doesn't happen very often. All right, let's take a break, and then I'll get back to, I'll actually talk about. Announcements. What's that? I'll get back to announcements about television shows that I was watching in my four-hour delay. Oh, good. Yes. Little singles. All right. I don't think that's what it's called. But I like, I like that it's,

I like that I made up that name. I think it should be called Little Things. All right, we'll be back in a minute. Stay, stay with us. Thanks. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple. Astrid asked me to shut Brian up, even for a minute. Well, lovely Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid too? You know you do. Leave a message for her, or me or Chrissy, at 212-4333-3-TCB. That's 212-433-3822.

New Little People Show on TLC, if you haven't caught it, you must catch up on the premiere episode of Little Singles. I was right, that's what it's called, little singles. Oh, you were right. Yes.

They're single and they're little. They're single and they're little. And they're ready to mingle. Yeah, I would have called it singlets, but okay, you call it Little Singles. Cool, right? The single that ready to mingle is five lifelong friends

or five friends, a friendship group. Three have been lifelong friends. Two are just kind of like the outsiders. And they've rented a huge house and put a bunch of cameras in there in Palm Springs, California. And they all head on out there to have fun in the sun and get into all kind of shenanigans. And this is just fascinating to me. You know, I don't know what it is about little people, but I really enjoy watching about their lives.

Even the most mundane of things seem fascinating to me. Yeah, you've always felt that way. I've always felt that way. I don't know. I have a special place in my heart for little people. I don't know. I knew there was one in my neighborhood, a little person growing up in my neighborhood, and I always was friendly with them. And listen, I don't know.

Maybe it's just like a weird obsession that I have with watching little people. But ever since that Little People Big World Show came on, I like all of the shows. Well, apparently other people like it too because these shows are gone. They keep coming. Yeah, they keep coming for a while. They got Jay and Pamela now. Who is, what was that girl's name that with the little person that, but she had a different kind of condition where she, you're like aged backwards. Oh, yeah.

Remember that? What happened to her? I can't believe there wasn't a season three of that. Like, you would have thought that it would be endlessly fascinating to watch the creeps that wanted to date her while she was just trying to find love. You know what I'm saying? Maybe she did find love. She looked seven.

She was like 37 years old. That was an interesting show. But this one is like, this is prime for all the drama you're going to love because this is love island, essentially, but with little people is what it is. And there's already drama. There's like two. Are they dating in the house with each other? Yeah, there's like two that are secretly dating when they come in.

They call themselves the three amigos. There's like three, a girl and two guys. And they all live all across the country. But two of them have started dating. I've been hooking up. And then you throw in the hot girl who comes in, right? The hot little person who comes in. And the guy.

Shakes things up. And she shakes things up. Because no one knows the other two are dating because they're keeping it a secret from their third friend. because they don't want to break up the friend group. And so now he's hitting on her. The hot girl, the hot girl's hitting on him. And the third, the girl who he's supposed to be able with is like all pissed off. Yeah.

And so she calls one of her hot guy friends to come in and be the ringer to date the hot girl. This is all, it's, I love it. I'm all about it. They're drinking. They're swimming around in the pool. They're climbing on store shelves, grabbing stuff from the top. I just, I think this is fascinating. You got to watch the show, Gersie.

I saw the, yeah. I saw the, yeah. I saw the first episode and I'm like, I'm hooked. Give me season three and four of this. I like, I want to go the distance on this one. Because also, if the personalities weren't entertaining, then it wouldn't be entertained. Of course. No, you have to have entertaining people.

Yes. And like I've said about the Seven Little Johnstons. Great show. Love the Seven Little Johnsons. I have any of them on the show, any day of the week. I love all of them. I think they're all great. But it's very formulaic.

There's no breakout personality star of the Seven Little Johnstons together. as a unit they're entertaining. How long has that show been on? They're like on the ninth season or something. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, just to have that many years of your life. Yeah. And then my big, fat, fabulous life is coming back, that Whitney is coming back. You know, I don't know. Not everyone's bag to take GLP ones, but she's been fighting this fight for a long time. You'd think that maybe she would, she would think about GLP ones. Yeah. But then does she have the show if she does? Right. Probably not. I don't know. Good question. I kind of tuned out of Whitney because I think she's letting, she has become famous and she's allowing that fame to get to her head a little bit. She seems a little bit spoiled and obnoxious if I'm being honest with you. So that for that reason only, I'm kind of like, eh, not for me. And it's 90 day fiancee, by the way, back on point.

Really? Back on point. Don't tell me. Back on top. Let me tell you, the newest season of 90 day fiancee, they have some great couples, great couples that are just. I'm scared to let myself go there. Chrissy, it's shit show all over again. I love it. No more bored to them. Let's get back into it. Let's get the craziest people on earth. Where are they from?

Where are they coming from? Oh, I don't know. Kazakhstan, India, Iran, you know, Colombia. You know, the usual roundups. But all of them are crazy. Every one of them are crazy. And so I just love it. One of the girls has OCD obsessive-compulsive disorder.

She's like basically homeless. And this guy comes from England. And she, one of her obsession, or obsessive-compulsive disorder is when she drinks, she has to make out with anybody she sees. She has to literally look up with that guys. This poor property. She's the one bringing him over over.

Yes. And she tells him right off the bat. And she has a problem like she doesn't filter. There's no filter. So when he gets there, he's a 19 hour flight, whatever, how long he's been on there? They're driving home. And she's like, you stink.

And he's like, excuse me? And she goes, you stink, like, in your mouth and your body. It all stinks. Like, you're really smelly. Great. It's awesome. I love it. He makes her check.

Like, they're checking out of a hotel. And she makes him check under the bed, like 50 times to make sure nothing's there. And you can just see him, just seething. He's like, I checked. And she's like, I checked. She's like, can you check again for me? You can take the flashlight out and check again? It's like, what do you leave under a hotel bed?

Who put stuff under it? Something could have rolled under there. Could have. I understand. Check once. Yeah, check once. Check twice. Check three times if you want to be nice. But you don't have to check 50 times. I love it. But where 90-day fiancé really is getting it right is 90-day fiancé forever after, whatever the fuck they call that. They're at an English manner.

And all your... Last resort. Last resort. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. This is Shikina and what I just, they have a great group of people. They're all, their relationships are all in a hot fucking mess. They're all screaming and yelling at each other.

They're living in this English manner together and they're having sex classes and pulling out dildos. I love it. I'm back on the train. I'm back on the train. For a minute there, I was like, eh, it's too much. But, you know, 90-day fiancé is reinventing itself in a way that I like. Now, I also understand. They're all becoming, you know, personalities in and of themselves.

Yeah. But it seems like most of the personalities haven't had, like, mainstream Hollywood success or even non-mainstream Hollywood success. Yeah. What they have had is really nice only fans career. It says most of those girls, not most of them, some of those girls and some of the guys, to be fair, have turned to only fans. Okay.

So that's a trashy TV. Let me tell you about good TV I am watching. Have you seen Widows Bay on Apple TV? So good. OMG. I have not watched the finale yet. It just came out right yesterday. I don't know, because I'm only on episode number five or six.

Yeah, it's so good. Widows Bay is the weirdest show. It's like a comedy, scary, scary drama. Yeah. It's all of the things. Yes. It's all of the things. And I am absolutely fascinated by this show.

I actually did not love the first episode, but I was like, it's gotten so many good reviews. Okay, just go for the second episode. I love that main actor. Who would... Reese. Chris Reese. No, Michael, Matthew Reese. Matthew Reese.

Matthew Reese. Yeah, yeah. He, one of my favorite shows. The Americans. The Americans on FX. God damn, is that like a perfect show. It's just a perfect television show. It's like Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad, the Americans, perfect television. And now a third one, Widows Bay. He's been to some of the best television? Yeah, when I saw he was in it, that hooked me. And, yeah, it's a really good show. Done. Done. So good.

I just, I love everything about it. I love Matthew Reese's, like, comedic skills, his timing, and his ability to be very serious. and he's just so good in this show. And then who's, it's not Rip Torn, but who's the guy who plays the old, I wish it was Rip Torn, but it's not Rip Torn. Who is it, the guy who plays the older guy? He was in Barry. Oh, yeah.

He was like the, you know, they were hit men and he was Barry's. That's right. Yeah. That's right. Yes. I put two and two together just like episode number four. I finally went, oh, Barry, that's where he's from is Barry. Widows Bay is so good.

You've got to watch this fucking show. We interviewed the tall red-haired guy. Oh, yeah, I cannot remember his name. I don't know, but he was great. We had fun with him. Yeah, he's having a moment. He is. Well, he told us he had just filmed an Apple show, but he couldn't tell us what the Apple Show was.

He was also in Pluribus. That's right. For one episode. That is Jeff Hiller. Jeff Hiller. And Stephen Root is the guy from Barry. Stephen Root. So it's Matthew Reese.

Stephen Rip Root. Stephen Riptorn Root. Katie O. Flynn. Tim Balz is also in the show, who we have interviewed also. Remember, Tim Balds? Tim Balls, a friend from Chicago. Yeah. Wow.

You know, I watch a lot of TV and I'm like, oh, I interviewed him. Oh, I interviewed him. And that weird? That's a weird sensation a little bit. It's like, wow, I talked to him. Not that they would ever remember us, but Zoltan's going to come back on the show, by the way. Oh, great. Yeah.

When? I don't know. Perfect. I'm just letting you know. At some point and sometime in the future, Zoltan is. Zilatan will be back. Good. But I guess we can say that about it. He is just so lovely, Chrissy. I think of, I think Zilatan was probably one of my favorites in the beginning. I mean, from the start. But now that I've seen him do his thing, I'm still up there. He retained. I'm a little starstruck, if I'm going to be honest. Yep. All right. Okay. Happy birthday to somebody. Oh, who's birthday? Oh, Jenny. Jenny. Happy birthday. Wait, is Jenny, is not Jenna?

Jenna had surgery or Jenny had surgery? But it's not about, no. I get confused sometimes, guys, because your names are not like actual names, obviously on your username. Yeah. Yeah. Slap that base is not the actual guy's name. But anyway, thanks everybody for jumping in.

Chrissy and I are going to do another show. So what I have to do is I just have to turn it off and then I turn it back on. So pay attention. And we'll do another show. Give us 10 or 15 minutes. We'll get into it again. Yeah. And then we'll have stories from the wedding.

I have a few stories from the wedding. I forgot my shoeless Joe Jackson. I didn't forget. I just didn't get to it. My shoeless Joe Jack. You know how I like to drone on. Yes, she changed her name. Same person.

Told you. All right. How was the surgery? Everything okay? All right. We'll figure it out. Yes. And yes, the airlines do need to hire me.

That's right. But somebody has. hired me to be a voice a voice actor. Uh-huh. I'll share more about that as the days going. Did you? You got the job? Got the job.

Uh-uh. Wow. We do need to hear about this. Okay. We do, but let me do it first. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't fuck it up.

Let me do it first. And then, you know, but surprisingly to everybody's surprise. Yes. And I'll share more about that when it comes up. Jenny's doing great. Great. Good news. Okay.

Glad to hear. I was thinking about your. over the weekend. Yeah. Slapped up pace is laughing. All right, guys, stick with us. We'll be back. More fun and shenanigans.

More wedding stories. Probably more talking about the pool. I'll go back there. I want to go look at it. Yeah. On the break. Pulled the frog out of there this morning. Anytime it rains, the frogs go in there, and that drives me fucking crazy.

I hate pulling frogs out of there. You mean out of the little catcher thing? No, this time it's just in the middle of the pool. It looked like it was dead, and then I grabbed it. Oh, it was like, right? Yeah. I think it was just taking a nap, and I woke it up. All right, YouTube.com slash they commercial break for all the live shows, all the videos.

You know how to do it. You can stream there. You can also stream this on Twitch and at the commercial break on Instagram. Okay. I guess that's all I can do for right this second, Christine. I think so. Bad, I tell you that I love you. And I love you.

Best to you. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Until best of all. Best now.
