So nice people are like, I don't want to talk about it and I've never said that. I I would love to talk about it. I have to talk about it. It's like the law. I have to talk about it. I'll tell you listen, I'll tell you what I'll tell you whatever you want to know. So ask me maybe don't maybe don't ask me On this episode of the commercial break. Do you make noises when you go to the gym? Are there any noises that you make? No, not normally.

I usually just do a lot of sign. The kind of sign very stressed out middle-aged Amanda's. Very sad middle-aged podcast, or does. I'm like, hmm. Ha ha ha. Ha ha. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Drain. This is the director of Jingle Bell and all the way home.

Chris enjoy, hold on, let me see you Chris. Chris, are you Brian? The best of you out there in the podcast universe. Last show of season number four. That's right. Only 6,222 episodes into this cover saying podcast. You know how they say you build your own bird cage? I think we built our own bird cage here in the commercial break. I only did do it. But don't hardly say you build your own bird cage.

I think we built our own bird cage here at the commercial break. I only did do it. But at least I got you. At least I have other birds in the bird cage with me. Yeah, let's do it each other. You and Astrid and the dog is vocal box and needs to be removed.

I fucking dog, I swear to God. Another year, another season, another season of blue. Yes, another Lotus Flower opens, and I see all the new possibilities, but I can't hear what they're telling meipping. Yes, she'll still be yipping. She'll probably won't have use of her back legs off the dragger around of all those wheel things all over the place.

Come on, Blue. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Like for Christmas, the kids got one of those toys like the pretend dogs. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah. And I'm thinking to myself, it's just, and it barks and I'm, I thought to myself, what fucking moron?

Packed that thing and decided it was good to bring it to Brian Green's house. I already have a live one of those and I can't stand it. I saw somebody that had those on a show that I was watching on a reality show that I was watching and I mean it Just looks creepy and she was holding it kind of like under her arm, like patting it and stuff it. It's awful. It's awful. I was telling, was I telling you? Was I telling you?

Emotional support. Emotional support, dog my ass. It's like, I think I have an audio sensitivity everyone's been talking about. I think I'm gonna start listening to those. Hey, it's the mom. Yes, videos. But then I realized that I like,

I go to bed at night, here's the booty right there, making her last appearance of the season. Maybe her last appearance ever. But let's see. You talk a good game. I know I do. I go into the bedroom at night,

and I got, there's seven different noise makers going on in there at all times, at nights, I think to myself. I think I'm so used to all the noise and activity that we can't go to bed at night unless we have noise and activity. I've fucked my children for life, fucked them for life.

I should start a therapy fund, fuck the college fund, I'm gonna start a therapy fund, that's not a bad idea. It is not a bad idea, because you know, as a parent, you get it. You know, we go to therapy because of our parents, and our parents should probably go to therapy

because of their parents, but they don't, because they're a different generation. And then you realize that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, no matter what tactics, Instagram, fucking bullshit, parents, psychology, crap you use, your kids are gonna be fucked up because of something that you do.

And I'm already counting the ways in which I'm fucking up my children. But at the end of the day, it's like, it's not an existential crisis for me. Because they're gonna need to go to therapy for something. So, why worry about every little thing? But I think what they will have to go to therapy about is how my dad is, he was such a sweet guy and he played with us all the time. And he loved to rock us and rough us and take us to places.

And he was such a great guy. But man, when that dog started barking, he turned into a monster. That's what I do. Well, always barred. Blah! Like, the neighbors must think I'm a crazy person. I'm out there screaming at the dog.

The dog's not even outside. She's inside shitting. I'm screaming at her outside. I get out of her dirt business outside. The neighbors are like, oh, there's Brian. What a nice guy. You made it all 10, 20 minutes later away. Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey, everybody. What a cold room for dinner. No, no, maybe next year. We talked about it last year. Maybe next year we'll do it. What do you think? You guys can use the pool anytime you want. I don't ever want to use that guy's pool.

He's gonna yell at me. Get out of my pool! Shana! Uh, you know, the reason why we have taken a little break of episodes, we almost went the entire year without doing a full week of best-ups. And then we had, and it appears we'll get away with it one more time just simply

because we're putting out this Friday last episode of the season, but the reason why we didn't get a chance to record those episodes is because my entire house except for me got coronavirus. Right. Which was insane. We had the Christmas Eve thing and then we had the Christmas Day thing and then someone at the, someone who came to our house for Christmas Day said, hey, listen, one of my aunts tested positive for COVID,

just thought I'd let you know. While I'm your standing in front of you. While yes. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, when they get home, like when they drive away, yes, they've already been here. Exactly. And so then you're thinking, did you know that beforehand? Didn't you know that beforehand?

Then I'll tell you why I was thinking that. It's not because I think they were in a Pharisee trying to hurt my family, me or my family. Like COVID is a bad cold. And especially I think if you've had the vaccine supposedly then it's working and it's doing a job. Yeah, it's not bad. And that's what it was around the house. It was a bad cold. But there's some like weird sense of morality that I have that me and the astered have that we just feel it's not the best idea to spread that disease around. So we tried our best to quarantine and we did wear masks when we went outside. Just, you know, you have a little extra safety measure.

But we were supposed to go, we're supposed to go down to Miami to visit some of Astros relatives. Yeah, and for so many different reasons it didn't work out, but the main one was because of COVID. Yeah. But so we are communicating down with these people in Miami. We're like, hey, listen, we have COVID. We're testing positive. And trust me, every hour on the hour,

we're talking about this. Should we shouldn't? We can, we will. We, you know, one person has it. Five people don't. Six people have it. Two people don't. Whatever.

It's changing hour by hour. But as it gets down to like the, the witching hour, like we have to go or we're going to miss the event, Assurden, I just look at each other and what the baby tests positive. And Assurden, I just, we're like, no. That's it. Okay just look at each other and what the baby test positive. And Asher and I just were like, no, that's it.

Okay, that's it. But these people down in Miami, they're like, oh, don't worry about it, come down easy, party, everyone has COVID, it's no problem. You don't tell anybody. And I'm like, oh, okay, I guess that's how stuck, I guess that's what we're doing now. They just told people.

So we are getting so sick of being quarantined in this house. And I mean, we're not like tight, tight quarantined. I never tested positive. Yeah, so luckily I got to free them, you know, get out and go free. That's such a selfish asshole. I'm like, okay, what does everybody need from the grocery store?

I'm going to the tanning bed. I'm gonna go to Barnes and Noble. Do they have a Barnes and Noble anymore? I'm gonna find a Barnes and Noble. I'm gonna go have some Starbucks. And I'm gonna go to Barnes and Noble. Do they have a Barnes and Noble anymore? I'm gonna find a Barnes and Noble. I'm gonna go have some Starbucks. And I'm gonna go to the hot stone massage place down the street, which I have to tell you about, in just a second.

And I'll be back in seven to eight hours. You guys have fun in here. And so every hour situation changing, finally, we just say no and everybody's like, I don't worry about it, come to handle me in this way. Miami-Swayla will be fine. Miami-Swayla. It is Miami-Sweala will be fine. Miami-Sweala. It is Miami-Sweala, that's what it is.

And parts of it are, they're on claves of Venice, a lot of which have done very well for themselves. They're living really nice lives down there. And they have white yachts. They have white yachts with red fruit juice all over them. So I was telling you, Astrid, I was, what did I say to her? I said something about, well, maybe your uncle

just not get the carpet replay. Hey, then we can buy a new car or something. I don't know when I was saying to her. But everyone's telling us to come, because they want us to come. They want us to come and be a part of it. And they understand the game now. And now I'm understanding the game now

that we've been through it. The game is this. If you test, you have a more responsibility. but if you don't test, then you have no reward responsibility because you don't know that's right. So after we make this decision, I heard about this game over the summer. I think it was don't test. There were camps that were just not test. Don't test.

No, then you don't know. Well, the crazy thing is I take the baby, the baby, not COVID. Well, I don't tell. But you don't know. Well, the crazy thing is I take the baby, the baby not COVID. Well, I don't know. But anyway, so the baby gets really sick right before the holidays. And I mean, she was. She was really sick. And that kind of sick where you start to worry

is she getting enough air? Like, such a really congested upper, she's not sleeping, she was up for days in a row. And I was like, ah, this doesn't seem normal. Even though I have 13 children, this one is a little different. So I was like, this doesn't seem normal. Even I have 13 children. This one is a little different. So I've run her to the emergency room here, the urgent care, like the children's hospital emergency care.

And I go there and the place is fucking packed. Every seat is taken, people are standing up, every child in there is hacking up something. Except for the- Running noses and hacking and- Except for the one kid who came in with like literally a broken arm that Looked like something out of a TV movie. I was like, oh And the kid first the kid was like

He was just staring at everybody and I was like scream dude scream It's the only way you'll get the good meds as if you scream You need the good meds Like coating five shit or whatever they're giving kids these days. He was a trooper. He walked in, his arm was dangling, like an elephant trunk that was dead.

I don't know, it was weird. Like out of socket? Oh, did you see bone? No, I think it was a full break. I did not see bone because they had it wrapped up, but you could tell the way that the arm was being held. His dad was like, you know, the arm was wrapped up and they had like a stick under it or something.

Right, yeah. But you could just tell the way the hand was it was like twisted in a weird way where you could Understand you could put two and two together know that somewhere in there the arm didn't connect and some point was Disconnection of bone So I take the kid in there and then you know they get it back there very lovely people at this children's hospital here in Atlanta. And Dr. Cometon. Are you on like a frequent fire program with them now?

Well, let me tell you, I'll get to that part. I'm on a frequent fire program with my doctor's office, my doctor's office. They certainly have notes in that computer that says over dramatic. Like, over dramatic favorites. So because I am not afraid to call in the middle of the night, that is why I am paying those people and the call is free, right?

I mean, it might bother them, but it calls free. And it might bother them, especially if I call them at 1127. I'm two years old. Which I did. I got called back at like 1142. And I was like, I'm sorry to ruin you, which I did. Oh my god. The guy called me back at like 1142. And I was like, I'm sorry to ruin your day, doc. So anyway, so I get back there and the lady comes and she says, okay, listen, your daughter has a pneumonia,

but the kind of pneumonia you can walk out with, right? She's like, I send kids home with pneumonia all the time. Nominia gets a bad rap. It's like you have to be in the hospital because you have pneumonia. You don't, if she was having trouble breathing, weezing, some kind of crackling, whatever. We would certainly put her in the hospital.

And she has an ear infection. So here's a deal. I can test her for COVID and flu. But it's not going to change the way that I treat her. I'm not giving her anything for COVID or flu. I'm giving her something for the pneumonia and the ear infection. And she goes, it's not going to change the way I treat her.

So it's up to you. Do you want me to give her a COVID or a flu test? And I'm like, do I, you're giving me an option? You want me to, the doctors are even in on this game now too. They're like, because if you test, then I'm gonna have to put a mask on your baby, wrap her up in the silicone, and we're gonna have to throw her out the window.

Or we could just not test to pretend nothing happened. Yeah. So long after we make the decision that we're not going to Miami for New Year's even and this party, I start telling Astrid. I'm like, we should, we should have never tested in the first place. Who decided the test? Well, Gustavo decided to test. So I blame Gustavo for all of this.

Gustavo. Gustavo. I fucking asked who.avo Gustavo. Gustavo. Gustavo. Gustavo. Gustavo. Gustavo. Gustavo. Gustavo. I've tested quite a few times over the past since the summer. Yeah, I do. I randomly tested when I have a nasal thing. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, maybe I have COVID. But maybe I should just not be testing. You know, but then you shouldn't. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know. It seems like a bad cold at this point. And that's kind of what went around now.

One time I tested though, and we in Jeff had it, and we were able to get the insurance back from that. House and the mountains that we were supposed to go to. Oh, that's the thing you need to do. Yeah, yeah. Although, get trying to get that insurance back. I know. Like, what's she doing?

They do everything in their power to not pay you. That insurance company's job is to not pay you for the things they promise they're gonna pay you. So it's New Year's Eve, this fast forward to New Year's Eve. So it's New Year's Eve, we're all quarantined. We can't go anywhere, we're not doing anything. There's no one here, right? I mean, it's like, so we have this little party

for our kids, which I saw on Instagram, which I thought was great. You can go on YouTube and they have like, the ball drop for kids. It's a 10, 15 minute long video. They show all the cartoons, the kids alike, they have music, they dance, and we have a dance party here all the time.

So we're having this dance party. We're having this little countdown, getting prepped, getting ready, and we have this big round stone table in our family room. Yes. And so it has no edges, but it's very hard, and it's very heavy. So one of my kids is running around this thing, just having fun. And Gustavo, again, Gustavo the apple.

Gustavo. Gustavo. Kites again. Killed my child. So he's playing with my son is he's running around. And then the, I don't know what happens, but I watch it happen as he's like, there's this momentum going down toward the table. Gustavo tries to catch him. He throws his hands down and luckily he threw his hands down so he didn't hit his nose,

but he hit his head and Chrissy within half a second. He had a goose egg the size of a golf ball. I mean, it came on so quickly and he was so scared. He like ran in the bathroom to look at himself and he got so scared. And he's like, dad, he why does it do this? Did you do other people have these? And I was like, yeah, not in the house right now, but I'm sure at some point in the, let me call the ambulance. I'll be right back. I call the doctor. He calls back. And he's like, I could just tell him his voice. What a fucking moron. I'm like, hey, Doc, it's Brian Green. You know, my son, he fell, he hit his head, he's got a goose egg. What's the protocol? And he goes the protocol and I go the protocol.

My ice. Yeah, and he goes a bag of peas. And I was like, oh, do I have to look, he goes, he's throwing up. No, did he fall right asleep? No, did he pass out? Is he unstable? Can he answer questions? He can answer questions. He's not unstable.

He didn't pass out. A bag of piece. Yeah. And I go, okay, what should I look out for? And he goes, listen, take a deep breath. Green peas, black eyes, please. What do I do? White acro peas?

Does broccoli work. It's new. You're taking nothing's open. I have cream and cereal. Can I put that on his head? Imagine I'm just pouring cream and cereal on my cereal. Are you just holding a carton of cream? Yeah, she's a carton of cream.

Whatever, a couple of seconds, I've taken it out to pour a little in my cereal bowl. Come here son, I need some more cream. How's that goose egg? So, he's like, he goes, Mr. Green, listen, honestly, this happens all the time. If the kid, if he's not, I go, what do I look for?

Like, is there like an emergency situation? He goes an emergency situation would be obvious. He's throwing up, he's got blood coming out of his head or he's unstable, can't answer questions, falling asleep quickly. He's like, those things, then you take him to the hospital. He's like, but otherwise, it's just a goose egg. He's gonna be okay.

And I was like, okay. And he goes, call me back if you have any questions. And I said, I don't wanna bother you anymore. Tonight, you know what he said? He goes, I hope not either, but if I have any more questions, Let me know. I hope not either. Is this story of my life? I hope not either. Oh my God. Chrissy, what a, I mean, you know, it's just it's never a new adventure. I know it is. We keep a bunch of those, those ice packs around. Yes, it was. Yeah.

When Astrid gave birth, all the births, they gave her like a box of these like break open, non-reusable ice packs. They don't really get very cold. No, they don't. Yeah, but you can put them in all kind of, yeah, they never get cold. No, I know. What's the point of having an ice pack that doesn't get cold? They either get too cold or not cold enough because I've noticed the other ice packs that we

have, I mean, it's like, oh, God, you can't keep it on you. But if you put a washcloth in between it, that's too much that it's not cold enough. I can never get that right temperature of the cold pack. Me neither. There's no cold pack upon which I had the hot water bottle. It's too hot or you can't feel it. I have the warm blanket. It's either one or three. The fans either on high or very low. I have a heater in my bathroom and I can't get I swear to God. I can't find the right place to put that heater. Where's not burning my feet when I'm having my morning press conference with the with the kids. I swear to God. Well, the good news is everybody now is okay.

And your back, and that's exciting news too. It's been a bad time for the season. It's sliding through the end of the season, right? Into the same bullshit season number five. But one of the things that I have been happy with and that will be continuing is we've been interviewing people and I like that how that's going and there's been quite a few people who have reached out and said that they they have been enjoying the interviews. So I think it's good to spice it up.

Yeah, I mean, I'm no Dan Rather, but I mean, I'm just going to leave it at that time. I'm no Dan Rather. And I'm no Barbara Walter, but we're trying blah blah blah blah. But we're trying our best. We're trying our best. And try to spice things up. Do you really want Dan Rather to do the commercial break? Okay, I can hear people going, probably that would be much better, Brian.

All right, let's do this. Let's take our first break. And then we got lots more stuff to talk about. We're gonna wrap up season, we're gonna wrap up 2023, and we're gonna look forward to 2024. Here on the commercial break, we'll be right back. Okay, Brian, shh.

Sorry I forgot to hit the on mute button. It's all about Dan. Yeah, Dan, no problem, Barbara. Probably make for a more interesting episode of the commercial rig. Do you ever was speaking of, Dave, rather, when he used to do, you know, the show, or the channel by your,

maybe by your good friend, Mark Cuban, axis. I do remember axis. And Dan, rather, had like a series where he would do the musician and his use. And do remember access to you. And Dan rather had like a series where he would do the Oh yeah, musician interviews and they were always so weird. Yeah, they were so good because it's like your grandfather Yeah, interviewing and he would just get tickled. I know he'd be so yeah, people would really, you know, open up to Dan.

So what is this happening? It's been a new interview Jack White. Yeah. would really, you know, open up to Dan. So what is this? If it happened to do, what is the inner moon Jack White? Oh, I'm like, right. Ah, what is a white strike?

It was so cute. Is that a call for white nationalism? What is a white strike? Dead rather is like, he is the last bastion of like true gentleman journalism, right right they might have some in Britain that are still around but it here you know that all news people are now personalities also yeah and so it's just a little bit different I mean who does the

nightly news now I don't even watch regularly lester hold is it lester holds and then I don't want to either I don't know the other two people we trust and now they're off sleeping with each other and making appearances at Gallas. Who was that Amy Robbeck and Rammrammrammrammrammr whatever his name is? Yeah. Those two being seen everywhere.

And now what's the Davis trying to make a comeback too? I think we talked about this Brian Williams. But yeah, Dan Rather was like a very- He was a Matt Lauer. Oh, Matt Lauer, that's right. What did I say? Brian Williams just now. He made his comeback.

But he made his comeback and then he left. He was supposed to like show up somewhere, so he even did an MSACC. He didn't even do anything that bad. He just, he just, he just lied about me. He just sat in a helicopter. He just sat in a helicopter.

And I think he just misremembered, you know? Possibly. I think he has, he had talked about it so much. The story changed over time. It is head. It is head. It really happened. It was there.

Well, in his head, he was getting shot at a helicopter. In reality, he was in like some Ritz Carlton and Rear or something like that. But you get that like a guy, you can understand that a guy that has done so many news stories for so long that things can get twisted up. I'm not absolving the guy. I don't know if he lied or he didn't lie. I saw the David Letterman interview where he supposedly lied.

Well, he did lie. I mean, he did say something that wasn't factually true. But Brian Williams always seemed like a kind of like a trustworthy face, right? Yeah, but that's the problem is that you're trusting a person and people are notoriously fallible that we all are. And, you know, especially with memory. Yeah, like look at the commercial break

How many times that we misremembered misspoke? I know it's just a sentence an episode that we put out and I can't believe how wrong I was I was talking about Who was it? I can't even remember now Walk a flock of flame or something that he owned a bar with T.I. Or I don't even know what shit was But it wasn't walkaka Flocka Flame. The name of the place was Flocka. I just made the assumption that Waka Flocka Flame was owning this bar.

Like, so again, I get it. I understand you have to keep those facts, but he has cue cards. We don't. Do you know what I'm saying? Anyway, Brian Williams, he made a comeback on MSNBC, and then he just went away again. I don't know where he went to.

Yeah, I don't know why he went away from there. I don't know. They said he was going to come back, so I'm doing something like, but I think he was going to go to that new CNN plus or whether it is. Oh, the last, like a week. He didn't even last a week.

They launched it and 24 hours later they took it. I thought there'd be such a big push for that thing too. Here's the problem. And we've said this, I've talked about, you and I have talked about this many times, the streaming wars don't end well. And why don't they end well? Because you have to give everybody everything they want

at all times for one price, and you can't just continue to spend and spend and spend like that when you're not making any fucking money. When the economy is great and investors are happy, and they see Amazon lost money for the first 15 years it was a happy and they see like Amazon lost money for like the first 15 years it was a company. It just kept on losing money. Tesla has done the same for a long time,

but there's some promise that they might actually make money. Netflix, it's a different story altogether. They don't have ads in Netflix. They have fucking advertisements in Netflix. What a weird world we live in. Why am I paying for ads? Why am I doing that? Why am I paying you for the privilege of seeing everything? No don't know, it's like it's all just going back

into one television thing. We're all gonna be watching ABC and NBC and CBS pretty soon. Because they're all merging at this point. Exactly. Disney's a mess. And Amazon seems to be the only one. Amazon and Apple seem to be the only two that are keeping their heads on straight.

And that's because Apple only makes one television show a year. It's really fucking good. But they only make one television show a year. It's really fucking good, but they only make one television show a year. That's it. They choose wisely. You know what I'm saying? Because I'll tell you what, I didn't give a shit about Apple TV until the morning show came on. I liked that morning show.

And then because I had that morning show, because Apple TV TV thing here, because it sucks up all the other television shows that I watch, it then can recommend things for me inside of the Apple universe. It kept recommending this for all mankind. Oh, right. For all mankind, for all mankind, for all mankind, for all mankind, for all mankind. I'm like, I kept seeing that.

I don't wanna watch some stupid space show. I love space, I love like a few good men and whatever, not a few good men. I can't stand it, man. You could be. I love space shows. I love a few good men. I love a few good man. That's not a space or a show. Not about space.

That's definitely not a show. Oh my God, Brian, what are you going? The right stuff. That, you know, 15 part documentary that they put out about, and I love Apollo. I love all those space things because I like, I'm fascinated with space. Me too. I don't want to go there, but I'm fascinated by I have no interest in leaving Earth.

But I know I read about Fora Mankind that's like some all-turnous, like revisionist history bullshit. So I'm like, I don't want to watch some Star Trek bullshit. I could just don't want to watch that. I'll tell you what, how wrong I was cruising. Oh, it was good. Oh, it is so fucking good.

It is absolutely implausible, most episodes that any of this could actually happen, but it is so good. The revisionist history on the space race is so, It's like where Russia got their first, right? Russia got their first, and then everybody decided to continue to spend money to go further and further to do more and more things.

Like the space race actually was a race, like not just one time we went to the moon and that was it, which is basically what happened. I mean, we went multiple times, but that's what happened. And then for years, the shuttle would just go up into the space station and come back down, go up to the space station and come back down.

It would do nothing for so many reasons. We've launched a bunch of telescopes. We have so many satellites in the sky. I have that this app on my phone, where you could like point to your ceiling and it'll show you which satellite or star is above your head. I have the same one on that night sky. Yeah, night sky, that's it.

I love it. And it's not a sponsor by the way, we're just telling you the ghost spend $49.99 a year on night sky. So I have that thing and I just love what, you know, it's looking at things, but it's all, but it's all now it's all star link and satellites. I can't see anything.

But anyway, for all mankind is so fucking good. And Apple does it right, Ted Lasso for all mankind. The morning show, Slow Horses, which is such a fantastic show. I need to get into it. Oh, you have to get into Slow Horses. I love it. Love Gary Oldman. He's so good in this movie.

So good. I mean, in this television show, thank you. I'm all over the place. You know what show I just watched, which was surprising because I'd seen a lot of a bunch of lists, but I was like, I don't know, it was called the jury. And it's so good.

I watch it too. It's so good. It's so funny. I was laughing so hard. It's a brilliant, brilliant premise. It's basically for those of you that haven't watched it, it is a gear on-candid camera, but it is for eight weeks,

while somebody who has no idea that they're actually the part of the unsuspecting person, there's one person on this jury, everybody else is fake, this person's real. Yes. And he thinks he's taking a part in a documentary about the process of being on a jury. And it's so good.

The guy is so good. He is so good. And it turns out great. And it's just hilarious. The judge guy, oh my God. It's hard to believe that that guy wasn't hired for the part because he is such a good mark. He's a perfect human being.

He is. He does everything the right way. He does everything the right way, except he fudges a good mark. Like he's a perfect human being. He is, he does everything the right way. He does everything the right way, except he fudges a little bit, you know, he'll lie here and there, like little white lies here and there. But he's so on point, he's so funny. And the characters, the actors around him who are playing a part,

they are so good at improvising. Well, it was James Marston who plays himself. Yes, but so he's the guy that was the other guy on the notebook I would have picked this up right away and he's also the guy in What was the name of that show another space? He kind of shit dead would or not dead wood. Oh The robots that are in the western world the one one that HBO, yeah, West, Westworld. Westworld. Westworld. The Western.

The Western world. It's over there in the West. It's not the East, it's the West. The Westworld. Spacey kind of show. It didn't turn out kind of. It didn't turn Spacey. Well, it turned robotic, yeah, but I don't think they were.

They were. Well, there was a big sky. Yeah. Remember how a couple of minutes ago we talked about Dan Rather made such a fascinating interviewer? We are the opposite of Dan Rather. I think he was in that. He was in that. He was like the love interest robot robot guy.

Anyways, the show was hilarious. If you haven't watched it, I'd jump in the jury as good. The jury is good. And the jury is out of the jury. Let me take what the jury is out. We gotta talk about some things that I don't want repeated in 2023.

Okay. Let's start a few things that I don't want to repeat in 2023. And I want to start off with something that I just saw today. So as the first day when the kind of house is like, breaking from the COVID spell. Yes. When people can actually leave the house.

It was like you. You know, it was making me kind of upset a little bit, actually. I liked when it was just me and I could take the good car wherever I wanted to, the good car. Being the one that doesn't smoke and make noises and have squeaky breaks. Has a hood. Has a hood and two functioning front lights.

Yes. I like that car. That car is my first. I called the good car. I tell my kids, get in the good car kids. It's a special occasion. But there's no seat for the baby. Dr. Ewer in the trunk.

She's sick anyway. She's got COVID, but don't tell anybody. Those kids went back to school today and I was like, don't tell anybody you had COVID. So I asked her and Gustavo were here and they decided they want to go join the local fitness place. Yeah. Okay. So we go to local fitness place, National Brand. It's different than the LA fitness that we've been going to.

The LA fitness was very interesting, but you know, they had a cast of characters over there. They did. But I know. I know. But I know every gym has a cast of characters. And so I just wanted to start off like, I love running. I haven't been running in like six to seven months because I just been so busy. I've just been a crazy couple of, it's been a crazy couple of it's been a crazy six months.

It has it really has. Yeah, it really has for both of us for the show for both of us personally business wise. And it's just been an insane six months. Yeah. And so I was like, okay, I'll ask you what it was like. I have a guest pass and they have a tanning place inside of the thing. So she's like goading me with tanning place inside of the thing. So she's like, goating me with tanning. She will scream at me if I go to the tanning bed of my own,

but now she's trying to get me to go by telling me there's a tanning place that I could go to. And it works. I was like, oh, a tanning place. Okay, all right. I generally just, like, gyms aren't my thing. I'd like to work out at home. But anyway, I go, and I go on the treadmill.

I'm like, okay, you know, the first time being in a gym in a long time. So let me just do a good treadmill workout. Yeah, start slow. Yeah, let me do an hour on the treadmill and that'll feel good, right? And so that gives me, the treadmills are like way in the back of the gym, overlooking everything else.

Oh, and in this particular fitness place, they have like this cordoned off area where they have the kettlebells, the bat ball, weight balls, the thing that you push across the floor, you know, with extra weight on it. You know, all the super aggressive people that I don't like to talk to, all those people that actually want to get a workout and not just walk on the treadmill and watch Mary at first sight, you know what I'm saying. Exactly. You know what I'm saying. We're all the same boat, right? We all go to the gym to watch Mary at first sight.

Am I right? Watch your shows. Yeah, watch my shows. Break no sweat, just watch everybody else work out. So I'm looking at the regular, you know, the cast of characters, you got the old guys that were trying to keep in shape. Okay, I got it, you got the ladies who were, you know, looking good and getting their fit on,

you got the Zoom of class, Astrid's in the Zoom of class. You've got the young hotties that are running around with young men with the tank tops on, with big muskles and the girls who are tiny. So, on our way to the gym, I grabbed my ear pods and I put them in my ear and it's making this really high screeching noise.

Like, oh my God, what's wrong with my ear pods? And then Astrid tells me, I washed them. And I was like, you washed them? And she's like, yeah me I washed them and I was like you washed them and she's like yeah Yeah, I I washed them on accident. She's like it was in one of your pieces of clothes and I I thought Whatever so I washed them so I didn't have checking of the pockets So so so guess what Astrid gives me she's like so now I'm all fluffed about this right and my whole day is ruined because of I'm like I'm gonna get on phone calls now What am I gonna do?

My earphones are broken. I can't ignore you people. I can't get on phone calls and I certainly can't go to the gym. What am I gonna listen to? I gotta be occupied at all times. That can't be one minute of silent. So Astrid comes out with this bright red corded earphones,

not the kind that Apple makes, but the kind you buy it against. Yeah, station for $7.99. Yeah. And then she plugs the little plug into an adapter that we have here in the studio. And she goes, here you go. But the little plastic caps on the end of them are off.

They're gone. They're not there. So it's just these hard plastic tiny little things that I have to like literally string through my ears. So I look like a total fucking moron. Like a total fucking moron. like a total fucking moron. Who uses stringed headphones anymore? Actually, yeah, they're back in style. They are? They are back in style with the young kids. Well, then I am the hippest kid. Yeah.

That must have been why some young hot toddy came running next to me when there was all the open treadmills everywhere. That's right, your ear strings. Yeah. My ear strings are in. My eye strings are in. So I got my eye strings in. And you know, taking it slow, going like, you know, 2.9 miles from the treadmill. Right.

Man, you can even go for three. Yeah, they go for three. Oh my god, no worries. And I'm watching this area where all these kettlebells are and stuff, and I'm watching this guy. And he kettlebells are and stuff and I'm watching this guy. And he comes in, he's an older guy, he's got just for men like brown in, but he hasn't, it's either been a while since he's done it

or he hasn't done it properly because it looks like there's patches of brown and then there's patches of gray, you can tell this is coloring by the way. Right. He's got these big rimmed sunglasses on. He's got these big, rimmed sunglasses on. He's got a cut out t-shirt. Sun glasses.

Sun glasses. Oh, he went to sunglasses. He's got sunglasses. Okay. He's got this... He's getting interesting now. He's got a t-shirt from Woodstock 99. Oh!

He's cut the sleeves out, and he's cut it down to like his belly, so it looks like a big like open. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You know that look now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And to top it off the guy has like George on like jean shorts That are tucked. He's got the t-shirt tucked into the jean shorts. Jean shorts. Chrissy, I'm not even kidding you and I'm this could be forgiven like okay, you're at the gym who fucking cares? Really what you're wearing at the end of that? No, I guess, but James George. George. Not James. He's got George son. So I'm absolutely, I don't think they give very

much movement. No. That's the thing. Yeah, it didn't look like there was a lot of flex in those things, but he was pushing them to their limit at every 30. So my eye instantly gravity is toward this guy. Because now I know I got a character. I got a guy. Like here's my guy. Here's my television. Right? If I had no earphones, I could just watch this guy. So he walks in and he's like, doing this whole thing with his shoulders real fast. I'm gonna lose that. Trying to loosen up. And then he starts like taking his arms and making like this flying motion. Like he's like a motion, like a duck, like a duck, like this duck motion while he's jumping in the air.

So he's making these flying motions, jumping in the air. And I'm thinking to myself, wow, okay, what's that guy doing? He does this for like three minutes. And I'm like, wow. And then it forgets done. He like shakes his head off like, you know, his hair's weird and flying. Sun glasses still on. Oh, he's peacockened all over the place.

He's got his tail feathers way out, right? He's walking by the young girls that are doing the kettlebells. He's just kind of, he's owning the area. You know what I'm saying? He's making sure that everyone knows that his testicles are in charge of this area. And if there was to be any problems,

his testicles would save everybody. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, those guys are just kind of like, they're pissing on their territory. So I'm like, okay, you go, guy, you go, you're in your probably 60s or whatever, you go. Then they have these big hanging punching bags. Oh, right. I've seen those. And, you know, I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags.

And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I've seen a lot of guys hitting those bags. And I understand there are different styles and techniques to boxing. And I'm not looking to pick. There's a few different moves. Yeah, there's a few different moves.

Up down, you kick it, you know, hold on. And I understand not everyone, and it's actually not me if I was to try this, it's going to be graceful in this endeavor. However, here's what I don't get and what this guy was doing at exaggerated levels. What I don't get is like if Mike Tyson, a Vanderholy field, Jake Paul, these boxers, if they're like sparring with the bag and they're like, that noise that they make. I'm already doing it. I'm already spitting all over the place. So this guy is making these exaggerated, like, punches, you know, that are not really hitting the bag at all.

They're kind of like side-swaping the bag, like he's trying to hit the bag, but he side-swaping the bag. The bag isn't moving, by the way, because it's 150 pounds. It's just sitting there, and he's like trying to punch up, but he's not really punching it. His arms are slipping off everywhere, but he is making these noises, Chrissy. Spit is flying everywhere out of his mouth. And I'm thinking to myself, what, I can hear this. Through

my broken ear, my ice rings, I can hear this guy. And everybody at the gym, all the sun is like, they're all looking at this guy. He is now in full peacock feathers He is missing the bag at every opportunity, but he is making the noises if he's hitting the back, right? He's like And I think hey hey hey hey someone get that guy before he has a heart attack He hurts himself. Yeah, first of all second of all I don't think Fuh fuh fuh f Is that what noise did you, it gets on an F sound.

They're breathing out, that's what they're doing. Ha, ha, ha, ha. You know? Ha, ha, ha. I think that's what they're doing, right? Is that what, I don't wanna pick fights with boxers. I don't know why they do that, probably to exhale. Yes.

And get ready for that impact, right? Fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, fuffa, and I thought to myself, you could bind that move with the other movie he was doing like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Are there any noises that you make? No, not normally. I usually just do a lot of sign. The kind of sign very stressed out middle-aged man does. Very sad middle-aged, podcast, or does. I'm like, I mean, everybody makes a little bit of noise, depending on what workout you're doing, too. But I have definitely heard the over the over exaggerating

the too. Oh, and then when they let down the thing boom, boom, like, should you have to throw down the weight. I know I see a lot of videos. Yeah, of like the guys that are mad because someone says, don't throw the weights down. I'm kind of on the side of the person who says, don't throw the weight. I was distracting. I mean, one time I was in our like little gym there at the apartments and I had on headphones, I'm needy, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary first sight, whatever. And all I can hear is the boom. Yeah.

Boom. Clank, clank. No. It's so, anyway, listen, when you're, we got 300 pounds on there, I get it, but I see guys doing it when they got like 20 pounds on the ground. I know. Come on guys, you have to put a throw an empty bar down

like you're doing something. Nor do you have to make them. Yes, that was the thing, this guy did not have, like some crazy amount of weight. Okay, this is my point. In 2023, can we sharpen up the gym etiquette just a little bit? Like, we don't have to go, to let everybody know that we're not hitting the punching bag.

Like if you were connecting, I might be a bit of a, but the guy was so bad at it. He's just like swooping at it. It's like he couldn't, he didn't have any depth perception. He didn't see it. Maybe it was the sunglasses he had on in the dark fucking gym.

The sunglasses, I'm sure, had something to do with it. Oh my God, it was so obnoxious. Okay, let's take our second break. I want to hear what you want to get rid of. I want to hear what you want to put on the treaty. So let's put this on the treaty. Okay. We're going to charge you to make it.

Yeah, let's do that. We'll take a short break and then we to remind you once again to go on over to tcbpodcast.com because of that is where all of our episodes live.

Now, let's listen to some sponsors and then we'll get back to whatever they were talking about. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Alright, so what do you want to see? What trend or thing do you want to see go the way the Dodo bird 2024?

They saw in 2023. Well, what of them speaking of boxing? Is the influencer boxing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can throw that down the trash. Yeah. I agree with you. But you know, that Jake Paul, he's like a real boxer.

He's like beating people that actually have skills. So you got to give that guy credit. But there are a lot of these people that do this influencer boxing. Yeah. And then whatever happened to Mark Zuckerberg. Elon didn't step up. He was afraid of getting his... He was afraid of getting his...

Broke something, training. I wish he would break Facebook training, honestly. I hate that fucking place. Well speaking of that, then there's threads. Yeah, done with threads. Done with threads. What are we talking about kids? I keep on seeing, you have 300 new followers on threads. All they're doing is just sucking in the old followers. Now I now I got to follow

everybody in two places, three places really because Facebook is just this one continuity social media platform or anything bad happens. Listen, I like Instagram and I like TikTok, but it waste entirely too much time. I know. I have to limit myself. Yeah. And the influencer bullshit is getting to me. It's getting too much. I'm too much. Let's settle down. Now some could argue you guys are trying to be influencers. No, we are not.

We totally understand. No one is influenced by anything we say. As it should be, as it should be. I'm a fucking moron. Chris, he's a really intelligent human being who decided to join me on this stupid program. Don't fool us for my actions. We're here to make ourselves laugh and hopefully you too.

That's it. But the influencers, they take it way too far. I mean, yeah. I got this. I got this person on my Facebook, the anti-influencer influencer. She's like the anti-everything influencer, but it's all about, you know, girls that show their tits and their breakfast and their blah, blah, blah, blah. And then over the last, over 2023, she slowly turned into the girl who's posting her breakfast and where she's eating.

Like, you know, most exclusive breakfast club in, you know, Minnesota or whatever she's saying. And I'm like, most exclusive breakfast club in Minnesota. What is a breakfast club anyway? Who fucking cares? Honestly, let's get over it. But kids and shit. That's why I try and follow more like travel destinations,

but you know, I mean, God, the influencers have infiltrated those travel destinations. Oh, it's terrible. We saw it in Spain. It was terrible. Terrible. I like to look at pretty things like it travel wise, but then these are more.

I know they come flooding in. Yes, and they want to take pictures everywhere. And they want you to give them 50 feet of space to make sure that when we went to a castle in, I space to make sure that we went to a castle in, I think it was Madrid that we were in a castle and Madrid and we were just going to tour it. We're like walking around the neighborhood and we went to this castle.

It goes to this castle and it's got definitely the most beautiful view of Madrid that you've ever seen. This castle does this big walkway and then you're like a hundred feet in the air and it overlooks this, whatever, this valley. I could not get to the actual edge to look because there were too many people with their fucking selfie sticks or put in having their friend take a picture and they were posing in multiple places. Oh yeah. One photograph and by the way, you are not the center of that photograph. It's the most beautiful view in Madrid and the way, you are not the center of that photograph.

It's the most beautiful view in Madrid and the only thing you can think to do is have duck lips. That's it. That's the best thing that you can add to the world. No. So I'm going to add another thing on there. Can we stop videotaping life experiences and start experiencing life experiences? Yes, snap one picture, be done. Be done. I get it, I do it too.

I, oh, but you know what, I took a picture of, the fucking view that I was looking at. Well, right, no, I went back and looked through my sister and I went through to Italy, all these pictures that we had taken, and they're almost all of the actual things. Yes. Not of us, in them.

Not of you, that's right. Like, upbringing, we were there. Yeah, we went on this wonderful vacation to Spain where Astrid has family. What is wonderful about vacation? And there's lots of photographs of the kids and my wife and the kids and the kids having fun and I took videos, but when we saw something

that I thought was noteworthy, you know what I did? I took a picture of the noteworthy thing, not of me in front of the thing that I should be taking a picture of, because I'm not that fucking vain. I mean, maybe I am that fucking vain, but I have a little bit of common sense in my head. And then like going to concerts these days can be so unpleasurable because all you're doing

is watching the fucking concert through somebody else's phone. Stop it, put the phones down. You know what, somebody else is gonna have it on YouTube in 3.6 seconds, don't worry about it. Someone else has you covered. Yeah. You, the person listening to the show, let's put those phones down for just a second.

Let's enjoy life and stuff, videotaping life. Trust me, the police are already doing that for you. So, you don't have to worry about it. The police, Facebook, yeah, they're all doing it. So, you don't have to worry about it. It's all over the place. Here's another thing that I would like to see, go the way of the Do-to-Bird.

We have talked about this, it's on the treaty, but I just wanna remind people. Okay. Wait until your fucking Section is called to stay in at the line to get on the plane. Yes. Yes. Yes. Stop it. What are we? Part of wild boar. We have quite a few things on the treaties. I'm looking back about airplanes. One is No making a home in your airplane.

Yeah, that's that one dude. I say that and then my wife has to about these blow up mattresses for the plane ride for the kids. We literally had it in the park. Yes, we had it in the apartment over there. They got room service and everything. It was out of tell room.

And you know what? It was the best thing ever, because kids just shut up. If you have kids, make a little bit of home. Yeah, but you don't have to put a sheet around your fucking section. I mean, I saw that all moved by some chick, too. Do you see that? The girl who was like hanging the sheet around her seat

so that she could just be left alone in private. Part of me thinks that video was totally fake. I actually think that was just a fake out because who really does that. But then I look at some of this behavior on that plane. That spirit, man. Don't ever fly that spirit or Southwest. I'm telling you what, they could not have a worst reputation

if they tried. It is terrible. It is terrible. Okay, here is another thing that I want to put on the list. Speaking of streaming services, can we please, for the love of all that's holy, when in the show is good, and people like it, can we please get past season number fucking two?

Please, can you make it another season? I know, that they start. That's the worst. Yes, it's the worst. The only way you're going to get people to continually tune in and have some kind of brand loyalty is if you keep making the shows that they really enjoy. If you stop them after season three because I don't know why, because you decided that that's the only amount of seasons that

we need. Also, can we bring back like longer seasons? Does a season have to be three episodes? Yeah, but like, that's not a season. That's a A&E investigative report. You know what I'm saying? We need to make seasons, like actual seasons, 10, 20 episodes. That's what I miss also. I'm just having actual, like a good fair amount of content to digest. I think that's why I like that for all mankind too, is because there's like 10 or 11 episodes in every season.

They can have at least 10. Yeah, I mean, you gotta get to know the characters. You gotta have a story arc. And yeah, there's some frivolous bullshit in there, but I'll take the frivolous bullshit if I can watch more of it. You know what I'm saying a fucking man Here is another thing that is really driving me crazy that I think we should just put down

Middle-aged white podcasters interviewing celebrities. Let's just put that away put that on the treaty Put that on the treaty so later when it doesn't work out we could say that we we didn't like it in the first place each ride on the treaty. So later when it doesn't work out, we could say that we didn't like it in the first place. We tried. We tried. You know what I realized, we're getting all these people that are either requesting to come on the show or they said, are they agreeing to come on the show? Like people you would never imagine would be agreeing to come on the commercial break, right? When we started the show, we would have, and I still can't believe it quite frankly, I'm still a little weirded out. But at first, I think I wanted to have just like a little bit of self worth

about it, like, oh, they really do like the, oh, the commercial break is, but then I just do that all in the trash when I was taking my hour long treadmill work out today to realize that because of the disparate nature of media these days, these people have to go on multiple. They do. I noticed that because some of the way we had on here, I noticed it was on like three other ones. Oh yeah, yeah. I know, I know who we're talking about. They're making the rounds.

Yeah. No, they all are. I mean, all of them. Yeah. And by the way, much more interesting interviews. That's great. I was like, oh, I didn't think of that question. Why? I don't know because I don't interview celebrities. So I just come up with stupid Why? I don't know, because I don't interview celebrities.

So I just come up with super questions. I don't know. Yeah, maybe we need to develop another type of style, like, you know, something just off the wall. Yeah. It's our thing instead of asking about everybody's life and what sort of like this project and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, I don't think we do a lot of, I think we've done a lot of that.

But I think we've dug into like Steve Oh, I wanted to dig into life a little bit. I'm excited. Yeah. Yeah. I was excited about that one. But the other ones, you know, we want to, maybe just have like a standard list of questions that we start off like, do you have both testicles? Right. Have you or have you not? Did you or did you not take a COVID test when you believe you had COVID? Do you know what a DD canter is? Can I show you? Yeah. I think we need to go a little off the wall. Have you or have you

not ever seen a big foot? Tell us more. Who's the last celebrity you had sex with? Tell us more. Pick up your phone, call the most famous person you know, and put them on the line. That is a question I really wanted to ask of Steve O. But at the end, I just didn't have enough potatoes to do that. Well, it was a long interview, too. We had to let him go. But that was one question I really wanted to ask him.

I thought he would be game. If I said, hey, Steve, actually probably wouldn't have been been game you probably have been like interview over talk to you guys later But like what if we could ask a celebrity like pick out the most famous person in your phone call them And I want I want to say hi to them like let me say hi to them. Let me talk as if it's them That'd be a fun little game. Let me talk to them. Let me talk to them. I want to piggy front off your fame to get other more famous Call your president put me on the phone. Yeah, call your favorite friend famous friend and then put me on the phone Because they'll recognize me right away as if I'm Dan rather Do you recognize my voice this is CBS?

Recognize my voice this is CBS Oh, there was another one I saw another one to the list I was looking at that that was a sequels Yeah, I'm done with the sequels are the note that none's pretty close Equals pretty close Remakes, oh yeah forget that the remakes of older movies. Like, we don't have any. I know, but the studios don't want to take chances on new ideas. They want to keep rehashing the old ones. Like, I saw the new Ghostbusters trailer

and I am not one bit excited about the new Ghostbusters and I really fucking liked Ghostbusters as a kid. I love the OG. Yeah, and all of the OGs are back. But in the trailer, they show exactly one shot of Bill Murray, He says nothing. And I'm like, did he just walk on sets for a second? I guess it's not a bunch of it. No, maybe they decided to trim him out for Bill Murray. I love Bill Murray. I love Bill Murray too,

but apparently he's kind of a crazy guy. The genius types,, the genius types, they're always a little, little weird. And when they start assaulting people, that's not a good thing. Maybe like, what about Bob? I think they're so many. Robert Dreyfus, or what if, is it Robert Dreyfus? Who is it?

Richard Dreyfus. Robert Dreyfus. Well, Bob. Richard. Yeah, what about Bob? He, Rob. I went back, I saw this whole thing about Bill Murray and I'm not being very nice to people and saying some inappropriate things and all this other

stuff. Listen he also he also started acting and comedy in a totally different time than yeah 2023 and he was known to be a little while a little rough around the edges as all those Saturday night live care original cast members were none of them were easy Chevy Chase didn't even make it a full fucking season at Saturday night out of night life. And he turned out to be a quite a douchebag in real life too. But anyway, so Bill Murray and the made hilarious movies.

Oh my God, Christmas vacation is like one of the best. Actually all those vacations are fantastic. All the way up to Vegas. I'd loved Vegas. I thought Vegas was so funny. You didn't like Vegas? Mr. Papa George you? You didn't like that one?

I don't know, I might have to rewatch it. I love it. I think Cousin Eddie is probably funniest in Vegas. But anyway, he's pretty funny in vacation too. OK, so I go to this rabbit hole with Bill Murray. I'm like trying to figure out exactly what the big hub Lou is, and I start getting these Richard Dreyfus interviews from years ago where he talked about how much he disliked working with Bill Murray.

Now, it's not like Richard Dreyfus has showed up and done anything lately either. Like Richard Dreyfus, where did he go? He was like the world's most sought after actor and then he became difficult, no one wanted to work with him either. But he kept saying that like Bill would like spit in his face during takes and like tell him to go fuck himself. And I think Bill was probably trying to get a rise out of Richard for that particular movie, what about Bob?

But he was supposed to be annoying too. He was supposed to be annoying. He was supposed to be irritating to Bob. And it comes through, like watch that movie and tell me Richard Drifes really isn't irritated with Bill Murray. He is really irritated with Bill Mark. But the reality is, is that like, I think creative people are sometimes difficult people

to interact with. You know this, you're with me. Like comedic geniuses, oftentimes are difficult, and you know this firsthand. I'm very difficult and comedic geniuses, as many people already know, listening to this show. It's very hard to go out with you in the public. Oh, it's very difficult to go out with me in public.

I can't be left alone. All these people that think I'm famous. I couldn't be less famous if I tried, actually. We are the most watched and least famous people in America. Yeah, yes. Have you ever been recognized anywhere? Not for this. Not for...

Well, what else have you been recognized for? Well, let's not forget my... Oh, yes, your apartment finders. Right. Yes. You were showing apartments on the local cable access channel. I hope I was recognized. That's true.

Yeah, you were. And hotel impossible. I was a friend that goes... I knew your voice sounded so familiar. You're that chef that I could have sleep to. And now you're on a podcast of people go to sleep too. Look at that. It's coming to a circle. Hey, why not? You know, there's a lot of other things I would like to see end in 24. Travis and Kelsey, can we be over with Taylor and Travis? Can we be over with that one too? I know.

I mean, I would not say that I just like those two. No, just give it a break. Yeah, leave him alone. Give it a break. Like, let them do their thing. Oh God, they're almost, they say something. You know, they say the word, the people are their thing. Oh God. They're almost they say something You know they say the word The people are like she's pregnant

What she wouldn't say that She's only drinking champagne. She's pregnant No, she's not please. Oh my god. Trust me Taylor Swift when Taylor Swift gets pregnant if she chooses to get pregnant It will be because she chose to get pregnant Taylor Swift doesn't just go around Lucy Goosey, you letting people fire bullets into her vagina. That's not what happens. I guarantee it. She's smarter than that. Yes. Yes. God bless America, you're not having children with that John fucking mayor. He's got that serious ex-exam station that everyone's

talking about and I can't stand it. It's like, you know, hi, I'm John Mayer. And I just want music as family. And you're my family. I'm John Mayer and I just want music as family and you're my family I'm gonna take you on a music adventure not a radio station more like a chill Come on, dude You can be more douchey if you try And I like John I think is me I think someone's music. He's a next-looking guitar player. Yeah, so really is music is good But yeah, no, no, no, the series XM thing. Good, good for that million dollar check you got, but it's so cheesy I can't stand it.
