you are willing to be a child star unboxing these gifts. And even then, this market is saturated. There are adults who unboxed. I saw the booboo unboxing. You would have thought it was Kylie and Casey. It was not Kylie and Casey. It was a 46-year-old woman who was unboxing 300 Labubos. Really? And crying when she didn't get the special, or whatever it is, the special Laboooooooo. Chrissy, what in the world is going on? What in the world is going on? That's so bizarre. It's, it's like, late-stage consumerism, run amuck. And I love it.

I love consumerism. I'm all about it. I love buying things. Who doesn't? When I got this sweater, it made me so happy for one minute until I got the credit card bill. You know what I'm saying? The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens.

Welcome back to the commercial break. Again, I'm Brian Green. my dear friend and the co-host of this show. Chris and Joy, how the best to you, Chris. Best you out there in the podcast universe. Case you didn't know, we are testing out our capabilities to go live on Twitch and YouTube for now,

maybe other platforms later. And I know we got at least one person watching. We did. Lauren? Lauren says hi. Hi, Lauren. How are you doing? Yes.

So make sure you subscribe to our Twitch TCB podcast. Go to YouTube at the commercial break. You can type that in or slash the commercial break. And you can follow us. turn on your notifications so you know when we are going live, which we intend to do at least a couple of times a week moving forward, we're testing it all here. You know how it goes when we test something in the studio. It all goes wrong. So this is like our second, maybe third time starting the show here on the live stream because recording is an important part of what we do

since you can't go live on the RSS feeds. There you go. Anyway, another person has fallen off a carnival cruise. What? What? No. Guys, it's just like, okay, you know what, this is a great topic to talk about because I wanted to discuss this a couple weeks ago. A thorough investigation has been done into the Disney accident that happened on that boat. They have come out with more information. Neither the father nor the mother are going to be charged in the incident. However, if you recall, let me take you through the timeline of what happened in case you don't know. Back in June, May or June of this year, I want to say, it was months ago.

A little girl Five years old Six years old I think she was Fell off a Disney cruise ship In the middle of the Caribbean She fell off the ship Like 12 stories 7 9 10 12 stories

Whatever it is I know the I guess it depends on how high The boat is sitting in the water But it's not a small fall It is a large fall Stories you're talking tens of feet 70 80 90 feet

Off of the Lido deck Which is or the promenade Which is the deck that goes all the around the boat people walk around it you can play games you know it's basically the uh balcony deck you can go out there and chill after dinner is the pool on this deck no no the pool is above the deck it's higher yeah it's higher so she falls off and in an instant her father who was lauded as a hero as he should be jumped right in after her found her and held her above water for 20 plus minutes while disney did what they do which is and they did apparently very efficiently

effectively, and with, like, they did exactly what they should have done by all accounts, including the sheriff's office who investigated. Woo-hoo, whew, sirens, boat in the water, yes, including the mother. The mother and a bunch of people get on a boat. They take it down to the water, which in and of itself probably takes five, ten minutes to do. And then they find the child and the father, who has been now treading water with his daughter, treading water with his daughter for many minutes, one minute of treading water with a child in your arms. I can tell you, as a guy who has children, it's a lot. You feel like you're being pulled down under.

So, God bless that this all worked out okay. The father ended up having a broken back. The child suffered some bruises and obviously emotional distress, but they were found. They were brought back to the ship, and an investigation ensued. When this became public knowledge the very next day, many people took to all the different platforms, including an unverified source that was supposedly on the boat that said, yeah, that's because the mother had her on the railing taking a picture. And then a couple of days later, the sheriff's office came out and said, there are a lot of stories going around on social media right now. Please don't jump to conclusions. Because what you're hearing probably isn't true. That's all I have to say. Period into sentence. Guess what? It was true.

What? After investigation, after an investigation and talking to many people who were on the boat and people who saw what happened, the mother asked the young lady to sit in a essentially porthole, a place where there is not glass or plexiglass on the railing. She asked her to sit there for a picture. And when she did, she fell backwards. The father, who was close within 10 or 15 feet, saw what happened and saw or heard what happened and wasted no time, jumped in directly after her. The parents will not be charged in this incident because the sheriff's office believes they have suffered enough emotional distress and that there was no malfeasance in what happened.

In other words, the lady was just dumb. I mean, just dumb is dirt. And I don't want to like knock another parent because it, parenting is hard in the first place, but you don't put your child on a railing, on a cruise ship. No. There is, do you know the chances of someone surviving that kind of accident? Do you know, I don't know what the chances are, but it can't be a lot. That's like concrete when you hit the water.

You have to hit the water in a certain way to make sure that you don't break every little bone in your body and the father suffered a broken back because he probably hit the water the wrong way. It's hard to control your body. You know, if you're jumping more than 10 feet, your body wants to go where you're Like, I don't know, wherever it wants to go. Well, gravity takes you. Yeah, look at all those, look at all those kids on TikTok and Instagram. And I say kids, you know, the teenagers and the guys in their early 20s, mainly guys, doing these incredibly insane high jumps off of all different manner of places high up in the air into water.

One of these kids, one of these guys who was very famous for doing this, broke like 36 bones in his body, and he's back at it. Of course. Of course. But, you know, youth is for the young. And I guess if you're going to do that, then go ahead and do that. But this goes to show. Underdeveloped brain. Yeah. Underdeveloped brain is the woman who allowed her child to sit on a rail. I know. That's like those where you go to the, you've heard of the zoo stuff where people go in trying to get a picture with the animals. Harambe. Yeah. Harambe is dead because, well, I don't know if did the kid get into the enclosure or did his mom put him on the railing? I don't remember. But remember they shot her. Harambe. Unbelievable. Unbelievable that this mother would think this. But yet now here we have another incident out at sea of someone just being silly and being silly or on purpose. Whatever. What happened in that instance? There's not a lot of details around it, but apparently overboard. There you go. Some people do do this, by the way, not to talk about unaliving yourself, but some people do do this. Like it's a plan that they have and they go and they do it and it's sad and whatever. And this is actually,

there's a rash of these happening right now in Disney World, too. People jumping off the contemporary hotel, people... Really? Yes. People unaliving themselves at Disney World. I guess they think it's like they want to spend the last day of their life for the happiest place on Earth. But it's a problem for Disney because it's caused...

It's a problem for Disney because that's not... You know, no one wants to encounter that any point in the day. No one else's happiest day. No. Yeah. I mean, imagine you're... It's just a whole fucking sad situation. But anyway,

So Carnival crews, you know, they are trying to whip those cruise ships into shape by putting all these new rules and all that. And, you know, you still got people out there doing the hooky-dokey. Why would you, why would you sit on a balcony? No, I don't know. And to me, like the picture that you could get, what would that? It's just going to be the water in the background. I don't know. Can't you get that by just standing at the balcony?

Yes. What do you, like, I don't know this, they didn't give the details, but. When people fall overboard, I think you really have to make an effort to fall overboard on most of these cruise ships. I've been on a few. I think you really have to, on a Disney cruise, you have to make a concerted effort to fall overboard. There's plexiglass everywhere. Yeah. And they have the high rainlings that comes up to like your armpit on an adult, basically on your armpit.

And they do have furniture out on the balconies. But, I mean, it would have to be shuffled around with knowledge and with intent. The first thing you do when you're a parent and you have kids and you go on a crue. cruise and you have a balcony is you take the fucking furniture off of the fucking balcony that's what you do at least that's what I do because it just it there's zero chance zero chance but anyway Chrissy and I will be doing our cruise ship tour 2006 gonna be going on the Jimmy Buffett my kids are like watching this here's why I don't like YouTube for kids sometimes all of these

these channels that these fame now very famous children on YouTube have, they're all based around one thing, spending money and incredible amounts of it. The unboxing. The unboxing every toy in the world that they get for free from all the toy companies, the vacations that they get free from the, you know, resort crews and hospitality industry. They basically get thrown all of these incredible gifts. and then they, the kids, unbox them, I'm sure, with the parents help. Now, this is where as a parent, you have to make some decisions in your life.

It's like, yeah, I don't want my kid to be out there on YouTube 24 hours a day. I don't want to be essentially be a child star with all the child star problems. But they make a lot of money. They got some cool vacations, they go, you know what I'm saying? They make a lot of money and they get the free toys and vacations. Should I throw away any chance my child has at a normal future for short-term vacation gain? And the answer in my head is yes, but my wife says no. So for right now, at least, I haven't, I've lost the war, but I mean, I've lost the battle, but I will win the war.

What about if we did an unboxing? Yeah, I just don't think it's the same when Chrissy and Brian are unboxing. What are we going to inbox? Five-hour energy? If you want to zone box five-hour energy, we have a lot of five-hour energy. I was going to say, well, I just got the holiday package. I just got the holiday package, too. I'm going to die of a cafe. overdose at some point. Listen, these kids, they're going on this vacation. Like, obviously given to them by Royal Caribbean, but they get the suite on the boat, on the brand new boat, the brand new suite with the slide and the water bed, you know, bunk beds and four rooms and TVs that slide out of here. They get their own slide? It's a slide in the room. Oh, wow. It's a slide that you take from the second story down to the first story. Oh, that's cool. This is a suite that even on land, you would be happy to have, right? Like, if you went to an Airbnb, this would be the best Airbnb you went to.

But this is on a cruise ship with 180-degree view of the ocean and the boat and high up in the air where you're overlooking the, you know, the pool deck or whatever they call the poop deck. I love that they call it the poop deck.

So my kids are watching this. We very rarely let them watch YouTube, but I'm like, okay, go ahead, you know, If you want to watch a video, just let me see what you're watching. And it's like, you know, Kylie and Casey take vacation. And I'm like, okay, Kylie and Casey, what could that, you know, I'll watch it with them. And then all of the sudden, they're in this $50,000 a night suite on a 50-day cruise vacation getting pampered. And then JoJo Sewa shows up in the video, like on the cruise.

And I'm like, why is Jojo's Sewa showing up on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to meet these Kylie and Casey? I don't know who they are, but okay. and my kids are then begging, begging us. Can we please go on a royal, can we please get that room, go on a Royal Caribbean cruise? To which I say no, to which Astrid says, yes, you keep on saving your money, and then we can go on it. And so then we're trying to do the math. They're trying to do the math. And one kid's like, I got $31 bills.

And I'm like, times 1,000 times every five hours you're on the cruise. And there you go. That's it. You can't do that. Marketing, I mean, that's a good marketing trick. Get the kids on board to pester the parents. Yes. We had nothing like this when we were children.

There was no such thing as unboxing. Unboxing happened on Christmas, and it was usually a box. We were unboxing. These kids on YouTube, they are unboxing. Box after, box after, box after box. Thousands and thousands of toys, the best toys, you know, and they got rooms full of toys, and they live in these Candyland mansions. it's completely unrealistic.

And so, well, it's fun fantasy. And I, you know, I don't argue their ability to make a living doing it. I'm not knocking the kids. It's just complete, it's a fantasy land that is unattainable by any stretch of the imagination, unless you are willing to be a child star unboxing these gifts. And even then, this market is saturated. There are adults who unboxed. I saw the boo-boo unboxing.

And you would have thought it was Kylie and Casey. It was not Kylie and Casey. It was a 46-year-old woman who was unboxing 300 Labuboos. Really? And crying when she didn't get the special, where whatever it is, the special liboooooo. Chrissy, what in the world is going on? What in the world is going on? That's so bizarre.

It's like late-stage consumerism run amok. And I love it. I love consumerism. I'm all about it. I love buying things. Who doesn't? When I got this sweater, it made me so happy for one minute until I got the credit card bill. You know what I'm saying? Yes. But this lady was going bananas over these laboobo. First of all, laboos six days ago. Don't buy labubos now. You think you're going to make money on labubos. Someone else is making money on you buying their labubos. Lobos are no longer the thing. They're like the baby babies. They're already gone. They'll come back in trend and fashion at some point. But, you know, A trend is only, its trend is called a trend because it goes, La Bouboobo, because it goes like this and like this, La Poooo. What also is hot right now, and what's been hot for a long time, is Pokemon.

Oh, God, did that ever really go away? Here's what's happening in the Pokemon world. I think I should inform you. I think I should give you a heads up on this. Okay. I've been following these Pokemon card accounts on Instagram because that's really where all the drama is, is in the Pokemon world. you see with the cards with the cards back to the cards back to the cards those were the original those are the OG and now they're back and you know they make them in limited editions and special runs and special packages and they they meaning the Pokemon community go apeshit over Pokemon's and what is happening is there is a whole cottage industry of what they call scam artist what I call first in line people who will go when the Walmart is going to put out the new

Pokemon's, and they will buy the entire shelf of it. And there's 50 other people waiting behind them, and they refuse to give them anything. To me, it's kind of a dick move, but it's late stage consumerism. There's where in the rules does it say he can't buy all of them. He should be a good human

and give some to other people, but that's not what he's going to do because he is just profiting off of these cards. And so they go in, they clean out the Walmart. Here's another one. Just had a video right here near where I live. And this was, you know, hundreds of thousands of views on this video

of a security guard at a Kroger here in Atlanta standing in front of the Pokemon machine. Have you seen the Pokemon machines that sell Pokemon cards? They're these big digital machines. You're Kroger that I need to go to this Kroger because... It's a video. It's a casino. And it's got security people with the Pokemon box.

everything. You can buy lotto tickets, Pokemon, and go bankrupt in the casino, all in one fall swoop. And if you need a gallon of milk to bring home on the way, tell your wife you just busted $10,000 at the Kroger casino. This security guard stands in front of the Pokemon machine waiting for someone to transfer money into his account so that he can clean out the special edition Pokemon cards that have just been put in the machine. minutes earlier. So he's got the inside track because he knows

when the Pokemon cards are coming. Then he's standing there guarding the machine while other people behind him are waiting. And he's waiting for someone to transfer money into his account so he can get these Pokemon cards.

I thought you meant there was an actual security guard like making sure that people didn't get too crazy. No. This security guard is probably getting paid $13 an hour and says fuck this.

I can make some money on these Pokemon. I'm going to stand here and wait. I'm going to stand here and get it. Listen, you can't argue because there's There's no rules. Doesn't say on the Pokemon machine, please patiently. If you can't, if your money isn't transferred in your account in two minutes, you must leave. That's not

how it goes. And he's a security guard. What are you going to do? You're going to push him out of the way? Maybe. I don't know, but then you're probably going to get in trouble with the security guard. So it's just. So he is an actual security guard. He's a security guard at the fucking Kroger. Doubling as also a Pokemon broker. A broker of Pokemon. Yeah, a brokey men, if you will, Chrissy. Pokemon. It is literally kind of insane. Why? I understand these Pokemon cars can be worth hundreds of thousands and a couple of them millions of dollars. Really? Yes. Yes. What is the most expensive Pokemon? I think one of the twins, one of the boys was involved in this, the Paul brothers. Oh, God. Oh, the Paul brothers. Most expensive Pokemon card ever. $250,000, $30,000, 30 most expensive Pokemon cards ever sold. Are you ready?

Get ready for this. Okay. A Japanese promo illustrator, holo, cororo, cororo, comics, $5.2 million. Wow. Jesus. Can you imagine? Can you imagine just, like, all of a sudden, a $5.2 million piece of property in your fucking hands because you waited at the machine

as the security guard and Kroger to cock block everybody else from getting these. People are going bananas over the collectibles right now. Collectibles are the it thing. They're in fashion. I guess in kind of a down economy. That's what happens, right? Lottery. Lottery, casinos, collectibles. They all go up in value. You want to know why? because it's an act of desperation. Now, of course, there are Pokemon collectors that are very serious. This is what they do.

They love it. It's, you know, they're all about collecting the cards. And you can appreciate that. You know, I had a Dick Tracy collection. Right. It worked out in my favor. It did. Yeah.

Most expensive Dick Tracy card ever sold. It says add on to value meal at McDonald's. 32 cents. You can. appreciate the true Pokemon collectors. It's the guys and girls who are in their brokering, you know, getting in the middle of a transaction. There's always going to be that. Well, also, I think you have to be really fucking lucky to get one of those super expensive cards. But what they're doing is they're essentially creating a run on the bank. How are they doing that?

They're doing that by gobbling it all up and then reselling it on whatever, you know, sites you resell Pokemon cards on for five point Pokemon. The men. The men. of pokey. The man of pokey. Hey, listen. Pokey. Pokey. I remember 1980, 1999, 2000, whatever.

A girl that I lived with came home with a box of Pokemon, like, you know, individually wrapped, you know, like a top baseball card box. And she was like, hey, one of my skater friends gave this to me. He, like, wants to take me on a date, so I think he's trying to butter me up. but I have no whatever this. You can have it. And I opened one of those, and I was like, I don't understand a word of this.

I have no idea what this is. This will never take off. This will never be worth money. Throw that directly in the trash. It was probably a very rare one. Cororo, Cororo, Corro, Promo Illustrator. $5.2 million. Because that's the kind of investment vehicle Brian Green is.

Yeah. You've got a nose for it. Right off the clip. Yes. I do have a nose for bad investments All right, let's take a break And when we get back, maybe we'll talk a little Frankie B We should

So if you're in the good conversations that ruffle a few feathers, join me every Wednesday and follow Free Range with Von Miller everywhere you get your podcast. All right, one more thing that I want to talk about here real quick while we're on the collectible stuff. There's a new Starbucks cup.

Oh, I saw this, the Bearista. Okay. People are going crazy over it. The Bearista. People are going bonkers for these adorable teddy bear glass cups at Starbucks. The 20-ounce holiday bottles called Bearista Cold Cups debuted yesterday and immediately sold out. But most customers are leaving empty-handed. This is the much sought after bearista cold cup.

It's a bear-shaped glass mug with a green beanie and a Starbucks logo on its belly. It sells for $2,9.95, but if you're looking for one, be prepared to spend a lot more. On eBay, they're selling for up to $550. Holy shit. I got to use my connections up at the Starbucks and get me a bearerista cold cup. What in the world? So, okay, so I've seen all these videos of people just going, they're like losing their Looney Tune mind over the Bear Rista Cup. They're standing in line hours before the Starbucks open and the cold and the hot and the rain and whatever.

And then they're opening the doors and most stores only have one or two of them, right? They were very limited edition. So most stores are only getting a couple of them. And then people have been taking videos of the, there was one video in particular. Now, I don't know what the rules are. Not sure how this all works. Did you see one in the flash? In the plastic?

tell you a story in just a second. I wish I did. I would have bought it and, you know, I'd been up $300. So there's a video going around and people can find it on their own. There's a video going around of the store opens at 5 a.m. let's say. And at 501, the manager opens the cash register. She like, you know, goes to the cash register, but she doesn't open the front door where at least 30 people are waiting, the employees of the store, then walk, grab the barista, and buy them themselves. Oh. And you can see this because most Starbucks are just, you know, they have glass windows. I mean, it's easy to see inside of a Starbucks. You can see it, and people were freaking out because this place only had two or three of them, and they were purchased by the employees.

So I go, so I'm watching all these videos of these people just losing their mind over Beres. The same thing that happened with the whatever cups back early or those cups that everyone was so excited about. Was it the Starbucks? Yeah, the Starbucks, whatever they were. You know, everybody gets excited about the cups. So this happened like six months ago. At the beginning of the year, they released a special cup and everyone went crazy and people were stealing them. So the Beresda cups.

So I go into the Starbucks today and see, all my peeps, and I say, hey, what, you got any of these cups, these barista cups? And the manager explains, I got reamed, first customer this morning, I got reamed out. Like someone was yelling at me across the store. And I said, for what? Because we didn't have any of the barista cups. And I'm like, okay, you don't have any? And she's like, no, this store has not gotten any yet. And I don't know if we'll get any. They don't tell us that. Oh, there's something arrive. Yeah. If it shows up, it shows up. If it, you know, it shows up in our orders, it shows up in our orders. If it does and it doesn't, it doesn't. And she said,

we don't have any. And I explained this to the customer and they went crazy, accusing us of taking them. And I was like, geez, these poor, you know, these poor service employees. Well, I saw Starbucks, too, is getting ready to, like, try and unionize, I think. There's been a couple of... Some kind of striking. Yeah, there's been a number of stores throughout the country who have started to, started to form a union are trying to form a union. They're trying to get a vote to form a union. And, you know, listen, like unions, don't like unions.

At least at first, I think most of them are altruistic in their intent to protect the employees. Yeah, the employees up there were telling me that now they, like, there's certain things they can and can't wear that they used to be able to wear. There's certain things they can and can't say where they used to be able to say. It's just like the, you know, the corporate model has started to stamp itself out everywhere. And listen, Starbucks has been that way for a long time. As a matter of fact, when you think of corporations here in the United States, Starbucks is probably one that you think of that has managed to leak its way into the entirety of the world's societal woes.

I mean, Starbucks is on every fucking corner everywhere throughout the globe. I can't think of a place I've traveled where there isn't a Starbucks. True. Aruba. But that's just because maybe it wasn't around me, but I'm sure it was somewhere. And I'll be damned if they didn't sell the Starbucks cold. coffee in the grocery stores. So Starbucks is everywhere. All throughout Europe, all throughout Europe, they either have a Starbucks somewhere within earshot. I was driving in the fucking French

countryside on my way to Barcelona, from Paris to Barcelona. It's like a 20-hour drive, and we had to take it in one shot, me and my brother-in-law, don't even ask why. We were driving, it was, you know, I don't know, 50 degrees. Greece and France and they would drive up into the Pyrenees mountains and it's snowing up there. And we would stop at a gas. The gas station would be like every 350 kilometers or whatever it was. They were spaced out because we really were in the French countryside, the middle of nowhere. You would stop?

They would have a Starbucks machine that would make you whatever Starbucks you want it. Do you know what I'm saying? Cold coffee, hot coffee, cappuccino, frappuccino, moccalate, whatever it was. I don't remember seeing them very much in Italy, but... Well, you know, the Italians, they have pride. It's not that the French don't. The French also have a great history with coffee, but the Italians, I mean, there's some really good fucking coffee in Italy and in Spain.

But that doesn't stop Starbucks from popping up at every corner. There's a Starbucks in Venice. Venice! There's a Starbucks in Venice. Think about that. A Starbucks in Venice. Well, I guess. You can't win them all, Chrissy.

I wonder if they have the bears. What's that? Is it international? I don't know. Okay. I don't know. It seems like it should be or would be causing problems all over the world. Well, I like the little beret.

That seems French. Yeah, it's a beanie. It's a beanie. Yeah, twist this little head on. Maybe I could have a beret in France. And it's glass. It's going to break in two seconds. You know it is.

And what are you going to do? It's a bear. What are you going to do with that bear? You're going to like it for one Christmas season and it's going to be worth a dollar next year. It's going to go. I guarantee if you go to any goodwill next year, next February, if you go to any goodwill, there's going to be 10 baristas there for sale, just like the Labuboos, by the way. They're starting to pop up at the goodwill's.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. See, when you're collectible, $3 million lafou, uh, shows up at your local Salvation Army, the trend is probably over, I'm just saying. But not Pokey, man. No, no, no, no. No, it's been consistent. Don't let the men of pokey.

The pokey. The pokey men. All right, listen, just for chits and giggles, Chrissy and I are going to take a look back. Those of you that are just tuning in, which is no of you. Chrissy and I have had a long-suffering love affair with a man named Frankie B. Frank Bonado. He's on YouTube.

He's a pickup artist. He's a man of many different clubs. Well, yeah, what lifestyle, workout. Lifestyle, fitness, fun, fashion, food, fucking. He does it all. Like, the guy is into everything. But he really, really what he does is he gives terrible relationship advice. For men in their used to be 40s, now it's 50s, 60s, sometimes 70s.

He's for the older crowd. He likes to give you some life lessons. Like if you've been out of the game for a while. But you're jumping back in. You want to get back in. Chrissy's got it right. then don't turn off Frankie. Don't sleep on Frankie because Frankie is the man.

He knows what to do. He knows how to do it. He's been there, done that, divorced three times, lives in his daughter's apartment. This guy, but, you know, there's something about this particular pickup artist, and I think I would call him, like, maybe not technically a pickup artist. He's like a, but he's in the zone. He's like a life coach slash pickup artist. Yeah. Depends on which day you catch him on what video you're watching. But I will say this. He is the most lovable, I think. He's just like the drunk uncle, you know? He means no harm. He's trying his best. So Frankie has, sometimes he goes through a spurt. Well, he'll create a lot of content. Sometimes he'll be creating no content whatsoever. We're on one of these dry patches. Which is where we think that he has a girlfriend.

Yes. Anytime he's in a serious, committed relationship, it's likely that that young lady or lady is telling him, if I see another one of those fucking videos pop up, it's over between you and I. And that'd be my first request, too. Honestly, same thing with the commercial break. For some reason, I found myself ever single again, which I hoped never to be. I think it would be likely that if I got into a committed relationship, the first thing would be take that fucking shit. Before we meet my parents, take it all off the end. internet all of it um but so since we're on this dry spell i thought okay it's been too long it's been months since we've talked about frankie why don't we why don't we go back way to the beginning because we're now six years into this there's got to be you know there's some enough time has passed so here we go this is where we originally fell in love with him this is i think our very first frank banado video which we called him bernardo forever until one of our production assistants

It said bonado. Okay, whatever. B. Yeah, B. That's right. Oh, what's going on here? Why can't I hear him? Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's see here. Do I have him on mute? Frankie. Oh, Frankie. Oh, Frankie. Where are you? Where are you, Frankie? What's going on with Frankie?

I thought we would be able to hear him. Well, that's not fun. We were able to hear him in the test session. Yeah, in the test session, but, you know, That's the test session, Chrissy. Why would it go right here? No, it wouldn't. No, of course not.

Why would anything go right while we're actually doing it? Let's see here. Well, I got it set to the right. Oh, no, I don't. Never mind. There we go. Okay, now let's see. It's probably going to cause some horrible feedback and crash the whole system.

But that's okay. We'll try it again. Here we go. Ready? Make more sneaky signs that your wife just might be cheating on your ass. Okay. On your ass. All right.

Let's do it again. So, gentlemen, in today's video, we're going to go over five more sneaky signs that your wife just might be cheating on your ass. Your ass. Stinky signs. If she got a stinky pinky, you know what's going on. He was playing the drums with chopsticks. Oh, my God.

They were talking about the opportunities that present themselves in the salon sui business, Chrisie, the Salon Suite, which he created. He created going on out there. And nothing could be further from the truth.

That's how you get yourself in trouble. Here's the facts. 53% of all wives cheat on their men. Where did you get that?

I mean, yeah. Okay. All right. 53% of the time. I can believe it. I can believe it. I believe it. So, let's talk about this.

If I got you and nine of your buddies together and I interview all 10 of you guys, and I asked you, do you think your wife is cheating on you? Well, probably, I would say, all 10 would say no but guess what five point three of them are where's the point three weed it out five of you guys are wrong five of your guys so room of 10 at least five of the wives are cheating on your husband is now think about that you know like i like that frankie went ahead and did the illustration for us because percentages are hard yes here's a figure 67 percent of all guys 53% of all women cheat 39% of men get caught you want to hear something alarming

48% of all cheating wives get caught and in this video I'm gonna show you how you catch them yeah that's what I want to know I want to know how to get the cheating dogs number one your wife has become more judgmental towards your marriage or your relationship one thing to note about I hate my relationship Judgmental toward your relationship. What does that mean? With your marriage and your relationship. Yeah. This sucks.

Yeah, this sucks. I hate our marriage. It's terrible. It's got such an attitude problem. Cheating spouse. She's always going to try and rationalize her behavior. Always going to try and make out that you rationalize our behavior. Marriage is far worse than what it is.

You know why? Because it makes them feel like cheating wasn't an option. I had to do it. It was so bad. They're getting all the... I love how this is the exact conversation that Frankie had with at least one of his ex-wives. Exactly. Yeah.

I had to do it, Frankie. You didn't have to do it. You could have been one of the four guys in the room that didn't... 4.7 guys in the room that didn't have their wife's cheating on me. ...intramatic on the marriage. They're judgmental. Everything you do is wrong all of a sudden. Why?

Why all of a sudden? You know why? Because she's trying to rationalize her thoughts. She's wrong. You know, women are a strange breed. He's too passionate about this. Women are a strange breed. Women are a strange breed.

And what are you, Frankie? What are you? They can actually train themselves in their minds. He's like a mix between Wolverine and that guy bartending a little bit too old. Do you know what I'm talking about? Don. Yeah. I used to work with a Don.

You used to work with a Don. I know career bartenders who are very good at what they do. Yes. But then I know some bartenders who that's just what they happen to do. Yeah. Because, hey, listen, girls keep coming. The cash is good. You know what I'm saying?

There's a Coke dealer at the end of the bar. To fabricate this marriage that just ain't working so they can justify their ass cheating. Pay attention to that. Their ass cheating. I love when an ass cheating. That's is cheating, Chrissy. Nothing like a cheatin' ass. All right, we'll get back to it.

We'll be back in one second. Oh, I missed Frankie. So did I. We should just go review. We should just make a... You know we were talking about finding a niche? Finding our thing. Our niche should just be reviewing the hundred videos that Frankie has over and over and over again.

Turn on your notifications and Twitch. TCB podcast. We're back with Frankie. We're viewing a pretty old video. We actually did this, I think, maybe the first season. It was definitely one of the... Yeah, we were in the other studio. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Any other studio means across the hall in case anybody was wondering. Not like we got some major upgrade. We just took over my other kids' room. The other bedroom. We've been in all my kids' rooms. Here we go. Tip number two.

The intimacy. Number two. It does it like that. Yeah, with the devil horn. Yeah. The devil horn too. He did. Hello.

Now, this could be for a lot of reasons. You know, women are very moody. So what a tough pod. What a strange breed. Frankie. Frankie. Come on, man. You've been on this earth too long. You know, this is all misogynistic bullshit. You can't talk like this anymore. Back in your day, in Chicago, 1960s, 70s, when you're a teenager, I get it. You know, just the, whatever.

A tail sign. You know, if your sexual life has just been fading on a regular basis, why is that all of a sudden? It's very easy, gentlemen. Open your eyes. She's getting laid from someone else. Oh, my God. That's not true. Frankie, it's not true. Relationships go through seasons. They all do.

It's part of what happens. And if you've got kids, work, stop things. Oh, God. If you have kids, forget about it. Yeah. It makes it harder. Yeah. I'm surprised people have more kids when they already have kids.

It's like, when do you have time to have sex? How does that happen? When do you have time? Story right now, and they had 11 kids. Jeez. Jones have mercy. like, oh, my God. Yeah, like those 16 kids and counting, 16 idiots and counting.

Holy potatoes. How do you, that lady was pregnant every year for 20 years or something. Constantly rejecting you, open your eyes. So tip number three. What is going on here? What are you doing with your vans kicked up on the camera? I know. Constantly asking you to go take that trip.

Why don't you go get away? Why don't you go visit family? How about the golf trip with the buddies? You need to go. Why did you pack a bag and get an apartment and move out for six to seven months? Just try it. Turn off the nests and all the ring doorbell cameras. If you don't mind, I'm changing the security code.

I'll be sleeping in the guest room with brand new sheets every day. Go ahead. She's telling you to go away. Yes, there might be a problem in the relationship. There's a reason why she wants you gone. So she can spend more time with the person she's cheating with. He's constantly push, push, pushing for you to take a trip. There's a reason why.

Everything's an ulterior motive to Frankie. But this one I could see, like, if you have a loved one and they're like, hey, what are your friends doing? They're going to Vegas and they're going to spend the way. You should go again to Vegas third weekend in a row. See what's out there. What is your aunt in Barcelona doing this month? You should go there. Or did you ever notice that the routine might be changing?

Especially if you've been in a long-term marriage. Let's face it, you have a routine and your wife has routine. If all of a sudden that routine starts changing, well, there's a reason why. Because she's making time for the person that she's cheating with. So you need to pay special attention. Don't do that. I know. Everything's so dramatic.

Okay, pay attention if she's doing things different. Her routine varies. She's going out more. She's dressing different. She looks different. She's coming home. She got a new pair of socks yesterday. Look at her.

Your hairs did. All of her nails are painted. These are all signs. She's right up the divorce paperwork. Cheating your ass. She's cheating your ass. A little later. She got stuck at the office where she never got stuck before.

Guys, these are tell. all-tale signs. It could happen once in a while. I get that, but just pay attention to the pattern. Just be suspicious. Just be highly paranoid and anxious about everything that happens in your marriage. Then you're out, yeah, basically she's cheating. Don't even, don't even question anything. She's cheating. Before we get into tip number five, let's talk about a few of things. You know, most guys when they get into their 50s. For 50s, they get very complacent. They're not really paying attention to what's going on.

The obvious signs, because you're so caught up in your own life, your routine. You always take your wife, spouse, for granted. And it's probably not a good thing to do. You know, if you choose to ignore. What's that? It sounded like there was like a water going on in the background. Yeah. Splashing.

Yeah, well, he is in his own med spa. Remember, he's in his closet spa. That's right. And when I say closet spa, I mean a spa that is literally the size of a closet. Someone's probably getting a face cleaning or something. We give the best face cleanings or a fish hook pole. All the telltale signs, if you're good with that, then that's fine. But if you're not, you need to open up your eyes.

You need to start paying attention to what they're doing, all right? especially if they know you're very complacent, very lethargic, very non-carrying. They're going to walk all over your ass. You're going to walk all over your ass. If you're sitting on the couch eating Doritos and playing Fortnite, trading Pokeymen, you better watch out. If you're at Starbucks looking for your barista and she's spending late nights at the office, it's bound to be trouble.

I'm telling you right now. You're like shooting fish in a barrel, okay? You're easy, all right? Start calling them out. Start asking what they're doing. If you're suspecting things, okay, guys, just open. Put a tracker on a night. I hire a private investigator immediately.

All right, guys, we're at the climax, and that is tip number five. Said no girl to Frankie ever. we're at the climate you couldn't have picked any other we're at the halfway point here's number six and this is giving me the last tip in this video but it's the most obvious tip all right let's talk about your wife's cell phone oh here we go the old cell phone advice anything different in the way that she's being guarded towards that phone or before her phone was laying out on the counter out to a restaurant or a bar, that phone is laying on the bar top or the table top,

not hiding anything, didn't care. All of a sudden, that phone is hidden. It's in her purse and it's on silent. There's no ringing going on. Ringing ding. Oh, this is so funny. What on. Why is that all?

All of a sudden, she turned it on silent mode. Makes sense. It's Apple intelligence. It's not neither Apple nor intelligent. I don't even have to tell you another word because you already get it, but we're still going to talk about it. She's doing it because she's expecting a text from her significant other. She's got a cold. A cold?

She's got a cold? Is there a flu season? Yes. And they have phone a lockout code. to where she never had it before. Come on, guys. Come on, guys. She's got a lockout code.

She's banging the pool guy. I don't know how many times I got to say it to you. Oh, he's so paranoid. Well, obviously, we discussed. This happened to him. Oh, this is the story of Frankie. See, the thing about Frankie is he wears his heart on his sleeve. So any time that Frankie tells us something,

about a relationship. It's because he himself has been through it. He speaks with personal knowledge. This happened to him. This is too many details to know if you have never been cheated on in this manner. He's looking at things backwards. He's saying, I should have seen these signs. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But, you know, again, when it comes to cheating, I don't think everything is good for the goose is good for the gander. Yeah, if your wife or your husband is hiding their phone from you all of the sudden, and maybe that's an indication that something's on. Or maybe they're just planning a surprise party for you. True. Yeah. You never know. Well, in case I lose it, I want to make sure no one getting my information. No problem. Give me the lockout code. I want the lockout code. She won't give it to you or she'll give it to you and she'll change it again. Well, that's very suspicious.

Yeah. Okay. If you say I need to use your phone and she says over my dead body, well then, yeah. Let me do that. Yeah, you might, might want to investigate. get a little further. But that's not what you're saying. You're saying if, like, some, you know, she starts putting her phone in her purse. Maybe she just wants to put her phone in her purse. Be guarded with that phone. And she's never on it when she's anywhere around you.

Think about that. It's, it's the number one giveaway is a woman with that cell phone. So guys, that's it, that's it, man. That's all. That's it. She's cheating on you. Fuck it. She's all over for you.

Actually, I do got. more. But that's for another video. I do got. Five. I love the proper English. That your wife might be cheating on you. Again, you know, guys, when we get into our age, we're a little bit complacent. We take our wives for granted. We're not always looking at things.

I think it's just time to open your eyes. A little homework aside. Frankie making the entire audience paranoid of him and everything that he does. This is part and parcel of a world of Frankie B. But listen. we love it he's a big lovable oaf yeah you gotta love the guy because now i've seen so many pickup artists and so many of them are so terrible they're just bad people john anthony lifestyle yep who's the other one sleepy polly d coach paulton or

whatever no not zoltan zoltan was good yeah zoltan is the comedian who we just had on we love him. No, no, no, no. Retraction. No, but who was the other guy? Oh, that is. Oh, Zon. Zon, Paring Yon, mystery, all of them.

Yeah. Yeah. Crackhead pickup artist, that first one we ever did, his videos disappeared pretty quick off the end of the end of that. One with Brazil? Oh, no, that's John Anthony. That's John Anthony. That's John Anthony Lifestyle.

Yeah. And now John Anthony Lifestyle, all he does is review other pickup artists, which seems pretty rich actually i'm thinking about it what are you going to do all right uh do us a favor follow us on i'm just going to keep on saying it follow us at the commercial break on instagram the commercial break on youtube and on twitch tcb podcast christy and i will now go live with some or most of our recordings unless there's a guest involved um on these platforms so we're testing it out today we've had a few people in and out thank you very much for showing up
