And baby if I'm in a bad mood, this is your big toe. Just put it in my mouth, very deep into my throat.
And down your throat.
Yeah.
So she shuts up.
Yeah, it's like a pacifier in my mouth.
I love it so much.
True love.
On this episode of The Commercial Break.
Don't fill your fucking post with stuff and then say,
if you know, you know, as if you're
running around with some secret group of, you know, like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and,
you know, President Obama are running around in some limousine, you know, in San Diego,
taking you to special restaurants that only certain people know about.
Like, I'm not allowed to talk about a Secret Service set.
Sign an NDA.
Yeah, I signed 12 NDAs.
Come on, please.
Don't do that.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Yeah!
Yeah, guys and gents, welcome back to The Commercial Break.
I'm Brian Green.
This is the Kamala to my Trump. Kristen Joy
Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast
universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us on yet another episode. I'm
kidding. I won't go into it. The commercial run. The only one you'll ever need. The only one you'll ever need.
Fact fiction or fact fiction. I have to tell you that I'm getting really annoyed with a particular thing that people
do on social media.
And because I spend so much of my time digging into that stupid fucking Instagram and TikTok
to find content for the show, there is this thing that I've noticed that people do.
And there's a couple people that I know specifically, like follow them, they follow me. And it's driving me fucking crazy
because I don't get the point
and it's starting to get just a little bit obnoxious,
if you know what I mean.
And that is, if you know, you know.
If you know, you know.
I weigh, I Y K Y K or something like that, right?
Let's talk about if you know, you know.
If you know, you know, is your way of telling the world
that you're doing something much cooler than they are
and that only the cool kids know what that is.
You're taking random pictures of like a location
or a food or a person or a shoe or whatever
and putting that stupid I K Y D K Y N Y
whatever that
fucking shit is on the bottom of your post.
Can we forget about that?
Because all you're doing is just like perpetuating this clickish bullshit that
we can all just get over now because it's 2024 and we don't need it.
It's like, you know, something that we don't know.
Congratulations.
You know, something that we don't know inside.
You've got a little group.
Yeah.
That knows about things.
If you take a picture next to Oprah Winfrey,
and you say, if you know you know,
then fuck yeah, if you know you know,
because we all know it's Oprah Winfrey,
and why the fuck are you standing next to her, right?
That's a good one.
But if you take a picture of your food,
and then you put the place that you're at,
and you say, if you know you know, no, I don't know.
Because I don't live in your fucking state and I have no idea what you're eating
and it looks gross anyway.
And why are you taking the time out of your day to take a picture of what you're
eating before you eat it?
This most obnoxious thing in the world.
You're not a food journalist.
You're a person on the Internet trying to be a person of influence, just like we
are here at the commercial break.
And I have never said the words if you know, you know, that's it.
I'm done. I'm so sick of if you know, you know. That's it.
I'm done.
I'm so sick of if you know, you know, Chrissy.
I'm done with it.
Wow.
I didn't realize it was bothering you so badly.
It's really bothering me.
And this is one person.
This is one person.
It does.
It comes down to the one person.
It does always come down to the one person who's just abusing it so much.
And I mean, I see it on so many posts that I'm sure other people are also abusing it.
But because when I see that stupid, if you know, you know shit, I have to click
on the post, then Instagram serves me up more of their fucking posts.
And it seems like every other post is if you know, you know, if you know, you know,
if you know, you know, a group of her and her and 12 friends, if you know, you know,
I guess I missed out. Oh no. What am I to do?
Right. I have to know. Yeah. What do we need to know? Yeah. And then people respond with like,
LOL, wild. Oh yeah. Was it? Fucking cares. Then put a picture of the wild shit. That's what I got to say. Give me a picture. And then I'll know.
Tops off, tits out, ass up in booze, strippers with big dicks.
That's what I want to see.
Then I'll go, oh, I guess if you know, you know you were doing that.
That's interesting.
I wish I would have been there.
If you know, you know is the most pompous fucking thing to put on an Instagram post
or a TikTok post or a, God forbid,
you use Facebook anymore. That's not my grandma. But any social media, because you're just saying
you're better than everybody else because you know and they don't. And if you know, then you're in
the click. And if you don't, then you're out of the click. And God forbid you ask a question
on the comments section. It's like, you know, uh.
Right. What did I miss?
Oh my God, Chris. There's this one person who does this like every other post, right?
And so, over the holiday weekend, I was, you know, laying in bed. Because of the way that my
dad's house is set up, we have to separate rooms because there isn't really beds for everybody.
So, me and Astrid and I have to sleep with kids, right?
And so that's fine, whatever, for one or two nights,
that's okay, I'm sure Astrid enjoys the break.
And so I got my, my son is in bed with me
and he goes to sleep at like, you know, 830.
Well, my body clock doesn't shut down until 1030 at least,
because I'm always here in this fucking studio,
looking at Instagram posts, looking for if you know, you know.
What do I need to know?
What do I need to know?
So I see that stupid, if you know, you know,
and I click on the post and this is what it is.
Are you ready for this?
I think so.
It is a picture of a building and it's tagged the
city that that building is in. And it says, do you think I'm fucking Google maps? You think I know
what the fuck you're talking about? I don't live in the same state. I don't certainly don't live in
the same city. And I don't care about that stupid old building.
But you're putting it there as if we should all know what it is or else we're not on the
inside track.
Well, you know what?
Here's the deal is if it's a small group of people only that know about it, then just
do a group text to those people.
That's it.
And say, look where I was.
Yeah.
This awesome building.
Since you all know this. Yeah. Yeah. You know where this is. Yes. It should say like, you know, since we all know,
I took a picture of the White House, the Egyptian pyramids, the Palace of Versailles,
not some random building. It's a podunk town in the middle of nowhere. And you expect that
everybody's supposed to know. Now I've realized that you might just be putting this out to a very small audience. And I get that.
I understand. But this is not that person's thing. That person's thing is to be, you know,
an influencer. Fucking stupid. So someone has the balls in the comments to ask,
what is that? I don't live there. What is that?
And the response was, you had to be there.
Oh God.
Oh my God.
If there was a worse statement to make
than eating out, eating out, I had to be there.
You had to be there, it was wild.
We had dinner and two glasses of wine
and Betty shit herself.
We spent the next 30 minutes apologizing
to the waiter, I had to clean it up.
It was wild, wild.
She had gastrointestinitis
and we had to take her to the hospital.
I mean, come on guys, stop.
Don't do it.
You're just perpetuating the stupid shit
on the internet. You had to be there.
You had to be there. That's rude. It's totally rude. It's totally rude. Yeah, if you put the, if you
know you don't, then you at least have to explain what everybody else doesn't know.
If someone asks. This is followed by a post, right? And I'll say this, I'll say this.
The crypto community is like, is like loosely wrapped up in this, right? And then there's entire
posts about how the crypto community is one of welcoming and inclusivity and blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. If you know, you know does not spell inclusive. It
spells only you know. And so that makes you important. Stop it. Please, can we please stop this? Because you're making everybody else feel less than,
for no reason. No one knows about that building. But then there's food shots. Do you know the most
obnoxious, the second most obnoxious thing in the world is, is sitting at a dinner and someone says,
let me get a shot of my plate before I eat for Insta. I got to talk this.
Okay, bro.
Cool.
I thought we were here to enjoy dinner conversation and have fun with each other.
No, I didn't realize we were on your food blog all of a sudden.
No one cares what you're eating.
Have you ever looked at a meal that someone posted on socials and really
giving a shit what they're eating?
Sometimes.
Oh my God, Chrissy. But I'm a foodie they're eating? Sometimes. Oh my God, Christy.
Yeah.
But I'm a foodie and I like food stuff.
I'm okay with somebody taking a quick picture.
Now it does, you know, if that's all they're doing
throughout the whole dinner, then,
with each thing is taking pictures,
that's a little obnoxious.
Yes.
But, you know, I do like food stuff.
We had a friend, right?
But you can't, are you saying that this person also said,
if you know, you know about the food?
That's what was said.
That's what was said.
Why don't you say what it is, describe it.
It looks beautiful.
It was like a nebulous gelatin blob with like, you know,
smoke coming off of it.
So you're at one of those places where you're paying way too much money for food
that doesn't taste good anyway, right?
But it was like, you know, if you know, you know. No, I don't know, because you don't even tell us
where the fuck you are. So we're just supposed to guess based on this plate of nebulous jello,
this brown jello, what you're eating, where you're at. And then we're supposed to imagine in our minds
how cool it would be if we could only go there too, but you're the special one that gets to go there? So stupid. So stupid. Please stop that. And if
you're doing it and you don't mean to be, you know, rude about it and you're not trying
to be one of those people, then just know that it's passe now. I've decided, Brian's
decided.
Well, it should be used close to the vest at least, sparingly.
Sparingly.
Yes.
Christi's right about this. You know, she should do, start a WhatsApp group or a group text message.
Yeah, and then say, if you know, you know,
because I know you know.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly, look where I was.
Or then explain what you're doing
to people who give a shit about what you're doing.
Don't fill your fucking posts with stuff
and then say, if you know, you know,
as if you're running around with some secret group of,
you know, like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan,
and you know, President Obama are running
around in some limousine, you know, in San Diego, taking you to special restaurants that
only certain people know about.
Like, I'm not allowed to talk about a Secret Service set.
I signed an NDA.
Yeah, I signed 12 NDAs.
Come on, please.
Don't do that.
It's so silly.
It's so silly.
And maybe I have FOMO, and maybe this is just jealousy on my part. Maybe I should reflect on why I'm getting so upset
about this. But I decided over the weekend that that I K Y D K N A Y whatever the fuck
it says, that shit is over. It's done. We don't need to do that anymore. Let's just
say where we are, say why it was cool. And then we'll all get to enjoy it with you.
Yeah, exactly. Tag the place, say this was this amazing course that I had, this is what the ingredients were.
And you should try it. Everyone should go if you're in that city.
I agree.
Be nice.
And, you know, in my advanced age, I don't post too much.
No, no, I decided the other day that my social media is my group or my group texts.
That's it. Right? You got to just keep it, you got to keep it slim and keep it small.
I don't care about posting anymore. I really don't.
But on the rare occasion that I post something in my private social medias,
where it's like about my family, or maybe, maybe we're taking a trip and I see,
I take a pretty picture and I'm like, hey, check this out.
We're in, you know, Barcelona and I saw this building.
But I don't put, eeeh, because you know who knows? The four people who were with me.
That's who knows.
That's it.
That's really people who know.
Cause they were there with me.
So why am I gonna-
You had to be there.
Yeah, you had to be there.
Had to be there.
That was a dumb saying in the first place,
but I mean, I can understand why it was funny
for a minute, but then you had to be there.
Well, you didn't invite me.
Right.
There's a reason why I wasn't there,
because you didn't include me.
So automatically I feel shitty
that I didn't show up at the party of the year.
And then you got to remind me
because you had to be there.
Well, I guess we can't turn back the clock now.
I know.
Well, again, I tend to think that there's a lot of
portraying things to be better than they are on social media.
I think that's exactly what it is.
And that's another layer of mystery.
I think that's exactly what it is, Chrissy.
I think that the people who do this with frequency,
who do it with intention, right?
Not like, you know, and I don't wanna like
cast dispersions upon everybody who ever used the phrase because
there are some certain circumstances where I could see that would be cool. Like you take a picture at
the Super Bowl and you're like, if you know, you know, well, we all know you're at the Super Bowl.
Congratulations, right? But if you're taking pictures of random shit and it's really meant
for one person, it's like, and I think I have been guilty of this maybe once or twice in the past.
It's like when you break up with your girlfriend
and then you post something just for her, just for her.
It says, if your woman doesn't love you with,
if your woman doesn't bring you coffee in the morning
and rub your feet at night, she's not worth having.
Right?
You know what I'm saying?
Like the shit posting
that you do just to get somebody else riled up. Like, I think I've been guilty of that
in the past.
Maybe that's what this person is doing.
Maybe that's what this person is doing. But in that case, then you really don't need to
take to the socials for that. Just text them. Just text them. Or text their best friend.
Or text their new girlfriend. Or whatever it is. Text them. And that way you can just get to the point.
You can cut out all the middlemen.
You get to the point.
You don't sound like such a fucking snob on the socials, which is really what it makes
you sound like.
A snob.
A snob who's too good to be with the regular people.
So I'm going to post a bunch of stuff, cool shit that I'm doing, that makes me better
than you are.
And even though that may not be what's going through your brain at the moment, that is part of what's going through your brain. It's part of the process. Part
of the process is let me make all the haters feel bad by posting this wonderful thing that
I'm doing and saying, if you know, you know, as if, yeah, like I said, as if, you know,
the fucking, uh, who are those two, uh, uh, who are those two, Who are those two?
As if Logan Paul threw a party and you were the only one invited.
Right?
I mean, it's so stupid.
Good old Logan Paul.
Well, I'll get off my high horse now.
Good old Logan Paul.
Speaking of Logan Paul, that, you know, I was looking forward to that Tyson fight.
Yeah, what happened?
It was supposed to be on Sunday.
I think it was July 7th.
It was supposed to be on that night, live on Netflix.
Who backed out?
No, Tyson backed out.
He didn't back out, he paused
because he got some kind of injury.
And so he paused.
The doctors were like, no, you can't do this right now.
You gotta wait a couple months.
So apparently the Paul brother is waiting for Tyson
to be better. So it's still on.
It's still on, it's just there's not been a new date set yet, but I was really
excited about that fight because I figured- I know, we said we were going to do a little watch party
and everything. Yeah, I will once it comes out. Well, thank God we didn't do the watch party
until I-7. No one would have been watching. And I wasn't in town. I would have had my head in the
toilet and Chrissy would have been on an airplane. So there you go. It was meant to be. It just wasn't. Thanks Tyson for delaying the fight.
But I really wanted to see Tyson get back in the ring.
I did too. Yeah.
Not, you know, not so he could bite anybody's ear off or anything like that,
but so that we could see what kind of shape Tyson was in and then see how hard he was going to hit this ball.
Which just would have been great. I mean, honestly, it would have been great.
Well, it still can happen.
I think it still will happen.
There's too much money involved
and all the players are in the right place.
They've announced it.
They've announced it.
Like we've announced our dates.
Yeah, it's kind of the same thing.
We pressed pause.
Hold on one second.
Hold on one second.
I didn't mean to say that.
Okay, let me share a little bit
so that we don't get, so we get a bunch of,
I know we're gonna get a bunch of people
that are texting us and calling us.
We got some dates from our promoter.
We were negotiating those dates.
They seemed secure, but when we finally decided to like actually pull the trigger, apparently
those dates had shifted with the club.
So it wasn't really our fault, but the club had something else and we just,
someone else got to it first, essentially.
So now we believe we're still going to be in Orlando,
in the Orlando and South Florida area.
And we believe that will still be in the fall.
We just don't know the exact dates yet.
So we said September 25th in Orlando
and September 26th in Tampa.
That Tampa date is definitely not happening right now.
But we think we might still be in Orlando on the 25th.
But we got two months before that's gonna happen. So just settle down. We'll figure it out. We don't all need to get crazy.
It's the commercial break. You knew this was gonna go wrong in some way, shape, or form.
Exactly. It's so the commercial break.
That's right. We're the gang that can't shoot straight. Okay? That's just the way it is.
straight. Okay? That's just the way it is. To the best efforts of our agents and the promoters and everybody else, Chrissy and Brian did something wrong that caused problems.
What we mainly did wrong was come on here and announce it before we could actually sign
the contract.
Yes, exactly.
I thought it was a done deal. I was like, cool, we'll sign the contract. What do you tell us? We'll sign the contract. And they were like, no, we sent it to you, so
you should have signed it. But now that you didn't sign it, we thought, well, get somebody
else to do it.
Very classic.
Classy. Stay classy, TCB. Stay classy. All right, so let's take a break. Lots more to
talk about. Man, is there lots to talk about.
Oh yeah.
I mean, I feel like when we left,
there was like 30 things we should have been talking
about that week, but now we're back for a couple of weeks.
And so let's take a break and then we'll get to some of that.
All right.
We'll get to some of the stuff from two weeks ago.
All right, we'll be back.
Hi.
No, you're not dreaming.
And yes, this is a new promo.
See, I made you wait and now look how happy you are.
I know, I know you're smiling.
Anyway, since we're here, why don't you just hop on over to Instagram and give us a follow
at the commercial break?
Seriously, please, it's getting hard for me to listen to Brian and Chrissy Begg.

Wah wah wee wah. Wah wah wee wah. So just to let you know why I'm saying wah wah wee wah
is because Chrissy and I are recording this probably about five days before you'll hear it,
five or six days before you hear it, because that's our recording schedule. That's how we
record. And we're watching the TV in the background. So this is going to be old news
by the time that you hear it, but watch the TV in the classic commercial break, classic
TCB. You heard it here last. And we're just watching all the drama about Biden and Harris
and all this stuff. And we're seeing some breaking news and we're like, wow. Okay. Well,
by this time next week, it might not be the Biden Harris campaign. It
might be the Harris Biden campaign. You never know. All right. So we'll see how that all
goes. I wanted to tell you about something that I read about and I just had no idea that
this even existed. Do you know what fiction sexual is? It's exactly what it sounds like.
Fiction sexual. Yeah.
You mean like books?
Like fiction, sexual fiction? You know people are like homosexual,
or bisexual, or pansexual, or heterosexual.
There is fix sexual.
I'm actually truncating the word fix sexual.
I'm thinking of doing a word, fix sexual.
Fiction sexual is someone who's attracted
to a fictional character, like an anime character or a television
cartoon character. Something completely fictional. I can see that. I feel like we've in our
6,000 episodes. I feel like we've covered this maybe before on like a TLC show.
We have covered fanfic, which is fan fiction.
That was turned sexual.
That turned sexual.
Remember there was sex with dragons in one thing?
We were reading it.
They were having sex with whales and like dolphins.
Great.
That was a great episode actually.
I thought it'd be very funny.
I was reading pages of people's fanfic,
their sexual fanfic.
So this is a person that identifies
with only being attracted to fictional characters.
Okay.
But I believe for the first time, maybe in history, and I don't know this, but I think
that's because it's coming on social media.
Like I don't want to say it.
I don't know that it's true, but supposedly first time in history, someone married an
anime character.
Oh, I saw that.
They married an anime doll, a guy in Japan.
Did you see that? Yes, I did.
He married an anime doll, like a doll,
that he was so in love with the fictional character
that he decided he wanted to take it all the way
and make a commitment.
I didn't know she was going anywhere.
She's your doll, dude.
Yeah.
I mean, that's the perfect marriage, I guess.
You just put her in your bed and let her hang out.
I don't know how that works.
I don't know either.
It's going to make dating kind of hard.
But man, it's...
There's all kinds.
And I don't disagree with it.
If you're in love with an anime character, you're in love with...
If you're not hurting anybody, who the fuck cares who you're in love with?
Or what you're in love with? Or how you're in love with them?
Exactly.
But I do...
But as a guy who gets interested in things, right, and
wants to dig around, I just wonder what the minutia of that all is. It's like the car,
the guy who is attracted to the car. Well, that's what I'm saying. I feel like it's
similar to that, that we did. We've done a guy who, two episodes now, like a... There
was a person that was in love with the roller coaster. Yes.
In love with the fence.
Knock 3000.
Knock 3000.
In Germany.
Oh, knock 3000.
Right?
She was licking the oil, like the grease.
She was licking it and she's like,
I love when you get your fluids all over me.
I can feel you're getting excited.
And I was like, oh my God.
She's actually, and this is the funniest thing.
So maybe it's better than that then.
A little bit.
Yeah, because at least it's a character.
It's a representation of a human being.
Yeah, it's a representation.
Of a human.
I guess it's a step up from NOC 3000.
Yeah, from the coaster love.
I don't know if you remember this,
just a sidetrack for a little bit.
But on that knock 3000 video we watched,
this girl was in love with a roller coaster.
She had never, or she had or hadn't
or never met the roller coaster in person.
So for some strange reason,
the amusement park let her in the door in the off season.
It was like all boarded up and you know,
gray outside, it was raining.
And she brought another
objectophile. That's what they call themselves, objectophiles. They are in love with objects.
And there was another objectophile who she had befriended and they both went to Germany
and the one girl was making out with the roller coaster and the camera swung around
and the girl was humping the fence.
She was up on the fence. I know, I remember that.
She's like, she had married a lamp,
but then she's like, I don't know, I hate cheating,
but I'm so in love with this fence.
She was like doing it up.
She had roots.
I remember that was, it was wild.
I still laugh every time I think about that
because the camera literally swung around
and she's humping the fence.
Yeah, she was like on it.
Riding it, yeah.
It had like slats.
Yes, it did.
It was weird.
I know, I thought maybe that would hurt.
I knew it would hurt, but you know,
pain is pleasure sometimes.
There was the guy with the car,
and we've done a couple other ones too.
Was it like a violin or something?
Someone married the Paris, someone married the Eiffel Tower.
I think we talked about that one,
but they got divorced for some reason.
Didn't work out.
Didn't work out.
The distance was too much.
It was like an American lady that married the,
and she was like the first out objectophile, right?
You never heard about this in the 50s and 60s.
I mean, you barely heard about homosexuality
in the 50s and 60s, but I wonder if this is
like a new thing with human beings
that we're finding a capacity to have love
in different ways and different places
with different things, objects, people,
in different ways, shapes and forms,
or if this has always been going on to some degree
and now there's just the comfort to talking about it.
Like, you know, I wonder if my grandma was like,
you know, humping the chandelier or something.
Yes.
Really into Mickey Mouse in the early days. Like, really into Mickey Mouse.
Yeah, I have a kid who's really into Mickey Mouse. I haven't found him humping it yet, but,
you know, but he's at the age appropriate Mickey Mouse loving stage. You know what I'm saying? So,
but yeah, it just makes me curious. Were there people in my grandma's day who like,
were objectified?
I'm sure there had to have been at least one or two.
There had to.
But in the video, I do remember them saying
there was only like 80 people in the world
who had been identified with this particular condition.
And are we evolving fast right in front of our own eyes,
was like my question.
I think so. I mean, I. Technology is advancing so quickly too. Yeah, we have access to so much information
Yeah, yeah, and I mean it's a much fantasy. Yeah, and with so many different pictures of knock 3000. How could you not?
Want to stick your dick in it?
I'm just saying
And listen, I again, honestly, we have fun with it, but I'm not here to talk
down to anybody. If you're not hurting anybody, who cares if you're in love with a rollercoaster?
As long as you're not making the line any longer, that's all I give a shit about.
Right.
That's all I give a shit about.
Yeah, that's true. I mean, I think it is. There's so much more acceptance of so many different types of love and identifications
of how we humans are identifying ourselves.
So, I think it makes people more comfortable
and there's so many more options.
So I think it's the convulgence, is that it?
The convergence, the convergence or the convulgence.
I think that's more like a seizure.
But I know I was trying to, I was doing my fingers like this.
I do it all the time.
You're doing the church and steeple.
I'm doing the church and steeple when they come together.
When you come together, here's the people.
When you come together, here's the people.
So on a side note, talking about long lines,
I'm gonna talk about Disney for a second,
so we're just talking about Mickey and long lines.
So Disney, and I know we have Disney fans out there,
because of course there are hundreds of millions
of Disney fans across the world.
And you guys are big Disney fans.
Yes, we're big fans of the Disney brand as a whole,
as an idea, right?
But I also understand that the brand is a company
and the company is not a person.
And that person doesn't give a shit
about anything except making money.
So I'm not dumb to think that there's some magic
in this brand.
There is magic in the Disney brand,
but there's not magic behind the,
the company's not magical.
It can't make investors stop asking for more money.
It can't stop, you know,
you know, activist investors from trying to control
board seats and all this other stuff.
And there's a lot of drama that's going on behind the scenes.
There is.
And has been for, at least since the pandemic started, if not before, since they hired that
Nudnik as the CEO of the company, who really did a lot of damage to the brand, in my opinion.
But now this guy who's in charge now is not doing much better.
Here's what I want to say about Long Lines in Disney. So it's, it is in, it is, there is a 47 to 58 percent markup from 2017
to 2024 in pricing in a Disney vacation. And they are finding ways to get you every single inch that
you move. They're pushing you to buy merchandise, they're making you pay for transportation that
used to be free, they used to make you pay, for years they were making you pay for transportation that used to be free. They used to make you pay for years they were making you pay for parking in front of the hotel. 50 bucks a fucking
day in front of the hotel.
Oh yeah, parking at hotels is outrageous right now.
It's crazy. You go to Miami.
Anywhere.
Yeah, and you have to valet park and it's $100 a day.
Yes.
Really? To have a guy drive my car downstairs is $100?
I know Jeff and I really now kind of weigh that out when we go on different vacations.
I'm like, well, renting or just doing an Uber.
Yeah, that's less than as paying for parking. Is Jeff like me and wants a car every time?
He likes to go the car route. Yeah, me too. Yeah. But I ended up convincing him and then it's like,
we don't have to do the whole parking. Yeah, no, no, I'm starting to get to that point too.
But, you know, and so, and now Disney has, Disney, you must understand this at some level
if you've ever been there, used to have a program called the Fastpass program, like
a lot of places do.
It used to be 100% free.
If you booked a vacation with them and you got a ticket to the parks, you could access
Fastpasses first in person by going to the park and pulling an actual ticket that would
give you a time to return, or you could use the Fastpass lane so you didn't have to stand
in a one hour line.
That was the max type of line you would ever see
at Disney was an hour.
That was crazy.
If it was an hour long, you were like,
oh my God, an hour?
30 to 40 minutes was like the best rides
had 30 to 40 minutes.
That FastPass system while clunky worked like a charm.
Six Flags had it too.
Yes.
And then Disney decided in their infinite wisdom
that they would put this all online,
which was fine, but it changed the rules of the game a little bit in the sense that if you planned
a Disney vacation, now you would have to go online, depending on where you were staying.
If you were staying inside the park 60 days ahead of time, if you just had park tickets 30 days ahead
of time to get your Fast Passes, and it became a mad scramble at 6 a.m. in the morning, every morning
when they released those passes to get your passes. I can imagine.
Okay, but okay, at least you had, you know, if you're a planner, then that felt good to you.
If you weren't a planner, you'd pick a couple rides and just say, okay, we'll be there at these
certain times and we can do whatever else we want then. There was still some spontaneity in the
whole experience of going down to a park and by all accounts at that point, the best theme park on in Earth, right? Disney
World. And during the pandemic, in their yet even more infinite wisdom with Bob Nudnick-Chapak at
the helm, they decided that they were going to make Fast Passes and their app a premium experience,
meaning you had to pay for it. $20 to get the app and then additional money
to get rides on the app.
Wow.
Yes, and then they decided to do on-demand pricing,
which means as the demand ebbs and flows,
they can charge much, charging as much up to $25
per person per ride for like a minute
and a half fucking experience, $25 on top of the $500
that you've already paid to get in the park, have food, get merchandise, and now you got to pay an
extra $25 per person, family of five or six, that's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars
extra a day. The resort hotels get blander and blander and more expensive and more expensive
every single year, if not every single three months. And it's just, they have almost priced us out of a Disney
vacation.
I'm sure they priced a lot of people out.
I think that's what they wanted to do. I think that was part of the strategy. If we're going
to be real honest, and I'm sure no one would ever be this honest, but if we're being really
honest, they don't care because the parks were getting very crowded and maybe it was
the type of crowd they didn't care about. They only wanted the premium customer
inside. They only wanted the people who could afford to drop 20 grand on a week long vacation
at Disney World and have that kind of customer spending their extra money at their, you know,
gift shops and restaurants. Okay. That's a strategy. Not my favorite one, but it's a
strategy, but they have made it so fucking expensive to go to Disney, so expensive to go to Disney
World, that now it's almost priced me, the multi, multi, multi-time visitor of your parks
and experiences, the guy who spent a ton of money on going down there as a kid and as
an adult and with my children, you are now almost pricing me out of it
because my family's so big.
I thought you were saying a multi, multi, multi,
hundred dollar air.
Yes, oh, yes.
You're almost priced a hundred dollar air
out of the experience.
And I'm a little bit fluffed up about it.
Well, they should have some kind of loyalty,
maybe for those people that have been coming for so long.
They don't give a shit because every other part of their business is not doing well.
And so the only part of the business that makes money is their parks. And they're trying
to squeeze as much as many dollars out of every head that comes in the park as they
possibly can. And so they're making every, they used to have free transportation from
the airport to the hotels. That no longer happens. Now you have to pay for it. The,
everything, everything costs for every little thing.
Yeah.
Do you remember when you were little and you would go to the carnival or, or even
a theme park and you would go to the Eve?
This used to happen at Disney.
My first time at Disney, you would have to buy a certain ticket type to
get on certain types of rides.
So you pay like $10 to get in the park.
And then if you wanted to go on the, what they would call, you know, a rides, right?
You would pay an extra $10 and that would get you on all space mountain or whatever
the in demand rides were.
And when you used to go to theme parks around the country, you would pay a flat rate, $5,
$10 to get in the door.
And then you would pay for tickets, actual tickets that you would use on the rides, like
a carnival, right?
Or you could buy one super pass that could get you everything that was much more expensive. And so now it's like that, but you have to pay 30 times to get on the same fucking ride.
It's insane.
It's insane to me.
Well, like how would it even work?
I mean, do you know how, how would it even work if you just didn't do any of that?
You would never get on a ride.
You just would walk in and try and go on rides and you couldn't get there?
You couldn't get there because imagine taking-
You can't just go stand in line.
You can't.
Even if you did two hours.
You can, but yes, even if you did,
yes, you could go stand in line.
Okay, that's a valid argument, right?
Can't you just do it on the cheap and just,
or the cheapest way?
Well, no, I mean, it's not my argument.
I just was asking, can you even do that?
Yes, you can, but let me explain
why this doesn't work with human...
Well, with people with kids, for sure.
Yes, that's it.
Is that probably 70%, 75% of the people that walk in that door have children or are children,
and once they get there and the Florida sun is blazing down on you and you have a three-hour
line, and it's not uncommon to see three-hour lines now, standby lines, what they call standby
lines. Now, while everybody else is just passing you through, and it's not uncommon to see three-hour lines now standby lines what they call standby lines now while everybody else is just passing you
through and here's what some people are reporting you know you know I K I KT
way and K why you had to be there where you could actually go into the wrong
yeah that's right right fast pass bitches just paid $700 for a three and a half
minute experience if you're dying, yeah.
I had to do that.
So here's the thing.
If I've got my 30 kids in tow
and we're all standing to get on the space mountain
in the hot sun, 95 degrees.
You're gonna pay whatever you have to.
I'm gonna pay whatever I have to.
Because it's gonna,
the more I watch people going that fast pass lane,
the more I'm gonna get pissed off,
but the more it's gonna force me to do it.
And the longer my kids complain and the hotter I get,
and the worse I feel, the more I'm going to be apt
to spend the $25 per person times 35 or whatever,
how many people I got in my family now,
times 35 to get in that one ride.
Or I know I will waste three hours here
and then I will be three hours less
of riding any other rides
or doing anything else, any other
experience. So they know they got you once they get in the park and they don't give a shit and they
continue to do it and I think it's wrong. I think it's wrong-headed and I think it's wrong and there
is a lot of backlash online right now about the Disney parks. There's a lot of people who blow smoke up
Disney's ass because Disney gives them free things and free trips, you know, these influencers, these
Disney influencers and I guess I can't blame you. That's the way you make your living, whatever. But you're telling a lie when you say that. Oh,
and so the whole point of this is, is that Disney now announced they're going to a new iteration of
the FastPass thing that is essentially the same iteration that they have right now, just packaged
differently in a new name so that they can get you for even more fucking money. You get the Disney
Genie and then you can get the Lightning Lane and then you get Lightning Lane Plus and then you get
Lightning Lane individual and then you get like, it's so confusing and
confounding to use that no one understands it really, probably not even the people who made it
understand it. And it forces you all to do one thing, press pay now. That's it. That's all,
that's all it's made to do is make, make you press pay now. Disney is giving you less. They're
charging you more. And by the way, they haven't
done a damn thing in that park, in those parks in years that's worth talking about Tron and
a couple of other things that they have, if you know, you know.
Well, yeah, didn't the Star Wars thing go bad too with the hotel or something?
The hotel closed.
Yes.
It closed.
And it was like a really expensive thing to do.
$5,000 sometimes for a three day experience for two people.
And you didn't even get to leave the hotel, it had no windows.
You had to stay in there with fucking storm troopers and Wookiees running around and pretend
like you were, I don't know, at a lightsaber or something.
It's the most ridiculous thing.
But after six months of, after all the people
who had to be there because they were so big
into Star Wars got there and went there and did it,
then nobody was going.
And the reason nobody was going is because they see
it's an obvious ruse to do highway robbery
on your fucking pocketbook and your credit card.
And I'm over it.
And I love you, Disney.
I love your brand. I know, you do. Yeah, and I've been on your cruises and your credit card. And I'm over it. And I love you, Disney. I love your
brand.
I know, you do.
Yeah. And I've been on your cruises and they're wonderful. The premium experiences and they're
well worth the money. And honestly, I will do that again, but I will not go back to your
parks. I will not. I'm going to say this right now. We'll not go back to your parks until
you change this shit up immediately. Stop it. Fastpasses used to be free. Go back to
it. If you want to make a special, special, special line
for people who have a whole shitload of money,
then do that.
Make the gold, gold, gold,
and make it so exorbitantly expensive
that only 10 people a day will be able to afford it.
Let the rest of us plebes fucking figure it out
by paying you the normal $5,000 a day
we were paying you in the first place
to go to your fucking parks and stay at your hotels.
It's getting asinine.
The way, the inflation to me is not about supply and demand.
Yes, I think some of that is at play.
It's about companies and corporations wanting more to give you less.
And this is a really shiny example of that.
This is like the diamond amongst diamonds is Disney.
And they're suffering online, many people who are fans of their company, not doing that. This is like the diamond amongst diamonds is Disney. And they're suffering
online, many people who are fans of their company not doing that. And there are many
other brands, companies, grocery stores, gas stations, you name it, they're doing it. That's
what inflation really is. Inflation is a cash grab and it's going on at an epic level and
has been for at least two years and it still continues. And yes, I know that there are
market forces at work. I'm not dumb, but I'm also not smart enough to understand all those
market forces. But what I do understand is when I go to the grocery store to get my cream,
and I have to buy a half a cream, like a half box of cream, right? For the same price two years ago
that I was paying for the same cream, I know those cows aren't asking for more money.
Do you know what I'm saying? There's not less cows in the United States. There aren't. So why is it
more expensive? I don't know. It's just because. Because the cream company decided everybody else
is charging more, we should be in on the gig. And it pisses me off. Stop it. Let's get real.
Everyone's hurting a little bit. A lot of people are hurting, right? It's hard to raise a family in America right now. Let's drop the prices. Let's do that. You
know that guy? You don't know this guy. There's a guy.
I don't know. I'm not in the know.
Yeah, you're not in the know. And now I can't remember who. Oh, T, Arizona T. Arizona T,
the CEO did a recent interview where he said, I will not, my products
still cost whatever, it's a $1.99. They have for 10 years and as long as I'm in control
of this company and the company's making a profit, it will be $1.99. Everyone is hurting
out there and I don't see the need to just raise prices for the sake of raising prices.
I don't need to raise prices. My building's paid off, my employees love me,
my employees love the company I work for,
and I'm making plenty of money.
I'm not raising prices.
I don't care what that guy's politics are,
that guy is a hero to me,
because he is doing the right fucking thing.
Disney, could you see your way fit
to have a conversation with the guy from Arizona Tea?
His teas are lovely.
I've only had two, but I remember they were good.
Yeah, they are good. Yeah, well, everything's so top-heavy now too, with all of the executives
making trillions, billions, whatever, and it's just all about the profits.
Yeah, and that CEO guy, you know, Iger, he's back and, you know, whatever he's doing, you know,
he's paying billions and billions of dollars in stocks and bonds and all that other stuff
to run the company.
And he could right the ship.
He could do the right thing.
Yeah, you were excited when he got in.
I was, I was really excited when Bob Chepak laughed
and they brought back, I thought, okay,
now everyone's gonna settle down a little bit.
He's gonna make some things right.
He did, he took away the parking fees.
He took away the parking fees.
And he took away the parking fees from all three hotels.
So there you go.
Okay. All right, I'll stop bitching.
Let's take a break.
And when we come back,
I want to talk a little Taylor Swift for you.
I know Christina loves when I talk about Taylor Swift.
So let's make her happy today.
And yeah, we'll be back.
What's up haters?
Now let's get down to business.

Bye.
Whoa, that's insane.
Okay, breaking news. Probably not breaking at all. Whoa, that's insane.
Okay, breaking news, probably not breaking at all.
Actually, I think I saw this a couple weeks ago.
I thought it was a joke.
I don't know.
That's, uh...
Okay, that's crazy.
All right, so listen, we just read, which I think we have no, I think I may have figured
out a while ago.
I saw it, I thought it was a joke.
Steve O is getting an actual boob job?
Is that real?
Can I read that story on air here together?
Well, it's on page six, so it must be.
It must be real.
Steve O, okay, page six.
Steve O will do anything for a laugh, including getting plastic surgery.
The Jackass star, who is 50, revealed on the X5 podcast Wednesday that he is planning to undergo breast augmentation.
I came up with the idea a few years ago to get a boob job and just film a bunch of legitimately
funny hidden camera pranks with me in disguise, in various disguises, and then revealing who
I actually am, and just funny endurance stunts. What endurance stunts? How much you can touch
your boobs?
Dress up like a girl and see how long it takes for some guy to harass you at a bar?
I mean, what kind of endurance stunt?
I've been so particularly in love with that idea
because the comedy, the opportunity for comedy,
I believe it's absolutely there
and it's like quintessential Steve-O.
Wow.
Although the funny man is serious about getting the boob job, he will only have the implants
in for two months, okay, before getting them removed.
In fact, he's already consulted with doctors about the operation and it's confirmed.
He's getting a D cup.
Wow.
Jesus, Jones.
I spoke with the doctors and I said to them candidly, the one thing I'm really freaked
out about and bummed out about and would back out of this over is if
I'm just going to be a mess afterwards.
You know it's going to completely go under the muscle and the doctors were completely
unfazed.
Two months it comes out, absolutely no issue.
Although the podcast hosts seem to be a bit skeptical about the plan, Steve-O assured
them that he's going to have the absolute best doctors in the world giving me gorgeous
man boobs.
That's one way to advertise.
Jesus, Steve. Come on, man. I mean, honestly, dude, really. I don't know about this one.
We had him on. I didn't do that interview.
I love Steve. Yeah, you didn't do that interview. You were out, unfortunately, but Tina was
here. And we did that interview. It was out, unfortunately, but Tina was here. And we did that
interview. It was like our third interview. It was quite frankly, I think I was still scared.
I was scared as Stevie. But it was a big deal at the time because we were like,
oh, Steve-O will come on the show. Sure. Why not? And we had a great conversation with him.
And I actually, you know, I liked the guy before. I found him to be super engaging and pleasant on the show.
But I think this one is a little too far.
Like putting boob in plans.
I mean, God bless you.
You want to do what you want.
Maybe he just wants to know what it's like
to have boobs for a couple months.
But doesn't it take you two months
to recover from a boob job?
There's definitely a recovery.
There's gotta be.
I mean, I know you don't know this, but I know, I get it.
Yeah, but I mean, we've had friends
that have gotten boob jobs.
It takes months to recover, fully recover from this.
So I'm wondering how much comedy he's really going to get out of it. Like, I mean, if he's
got to be in bed for a month and he's getting them out next month, you've got to fit a lot of comedy
in that month. That's all I gotta say. And if you want to come on the commercial break and show your
boobs off, we're a hundred percent about it. Come on back, buddy. I want to know more about that
night with Mike Tyson. I want to see your boobs in action.
But he's still going to have the hairy nipples.
So you know, it's just going to be like a guy with man boobs, I think is what it's going
to be.
A D.
Yeah, no, a D is not really man boobs.
It's way bigger than man boobs.
I mean, I've seen D boobs, but I want to talk about Taylor Swift.
But I want to say one thing real quick, and I don't know
that he would be listening to the show right now, and I'm not going to tell his personal
business on air, but Will the Champ needs our thoughts and our thoughts. I don't want
to say thoughts and prayers because I hate that saying, but he needs our thoughts and
he needs our thoughts. Will is having a tough go of it. Sounds like he's okay, like he's
going to be okay. But I saw a post, we're friends on one of the socials,
and I saw a post that he made,
and it really unnerved me actually.
And I was like, oh, I hope he's gonna be okay.
So Will, if you're listening, or if your girl's listening,
because I know that you both listened to the show,
please know that you are in our thoughts and-
Sending good vibes and love and everything.
I don't know if now is the right time to text you,
but I will over the next couple of weeks.
And I just hope that you're doing okay.
Will was like a first super listener.
I mean, he really was.
He was all over it.
He was part of, you know, he was texting in on the show.
We were sharing content ideas and stuff like that.
And we love him and he's done stuff for the show
and he's been a big, huge supporter of the show.
So I hope you're doing okay.
And I hope that you recover quickly.
We were just talking about him saying we had to get him back on the show because he would
know about the competitive eating.
It's absolutely crazy.
And then I saw this post, it popped up and I was just shocked.
And so, Will, you're strong, buddy.
You're going to get through it.
Okay.
Taylor Swift.
I don't know that you would know this because I didn't know this,
but there is a documentary on Max,
I think it's what it is.
Yeah, it's on Max.
And it's called,
Taylor versus Scooter.
Scooter Braun.
Oh, I saw that pop up on my thing the other day.
Yeah, I didn't watch it, but.
I had never seen this pop up.
I didn't even know that it existed because it is buried in the app
It is nowhere like, you know, you should watch this or it's right up on oh it did. Okay
Well, yeah, cuz they do they're doing these I think it's max
God, I get everything so confused now cuz there's we subscribe to everything and there's so much content
But yeah, it's where they kind of break down different stories. Yeah, and that are happening in the news
Yes, they're doing it like once a month or something and I guess this was the latest one
This I guess been out for a while. I don't know because I just the only reason that I know about it is because I saw another
Like vodcast talking about it on the socials for a brief minute and then I said I didn't even know that that existed
So basically what it is is it's Taylor's Scooter's side of the story of him buying her catalog of music,
really buying the studio that owned her catalog of music, her, what they call, tapes, right?
They're masters. The master tapes, even though they're probably not tapes, the master tapes.
Which is why she did the whole Taylor's version.
Taylor's version, right? Which got everybody excited and everybody on board and all of this.
Now, I'm going to leave it up to your judgment, but I'm sharing this with you because I think
it should be watched.
It's a very interesting tale.
You watched it?
I watched all of it.
Okay.
I watched it in one night because as soon as I heard this other gentleman saying what
he was saying about it, which I'm not going to go there, right? But he was saying something about it and it was very pointed and I thought,
wow, there's a doc out there about this. And so I watched it one night, it's two hours,
you can watch it really quickly. But it is a fascinating look at perspective and press
and PR and motivating a audience of people to do things.
And also how misunderstanding or misrepresentation
of what might be going on may be more easy
than we even think.
I mean, we know this.
We know that this information gets out there
and it gets twisted and all kinds of hackneyed
and all this other stuff.
And I'm not saying I agree with Scooter or Taylor.
I don't know about their contract.
I don't read it.
I'm not a lawyer.
I don't know what that is. But I think that Scooter or Taylor. I don't know about their contract. I don't read it. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know what that is.
But I think that Scooter had the right to buy that studio.
I don't think anybody argued that.
Right.
And so, you know, maybe there's two sides to the story.
There are two sides to the story obviously.
But wasn't it that she wanted to have her masters
and he said, no, was that it?
That's kind of the nutshell.
The studio, Big Machine Records, that
she got her first contract with, it was like an eight album deal or something like that.
It was an eight album deal. They gave her a big advance when she was like 15 years old. They gave
her a big advance to do, you know, these eight albums or whatever it was. And then she, of
course, got paid on all the music that she made. She owns the publishing and she owns the copyrights,
but the masters, the recorded version of the albums
is owned by the studio.
And that's a typical music deal.
There's nothing out of turn by that, right?
As almost always, unless you're big and powerful enough
to demand that you own your own masters
or you pay the studio to own your own masters, the company
usually owns them. That's how it goes. For God's sakes, Michael Jackson owned the Beatles
masters for years until somehow Paul managed to wiggle them back or the Beatles, you know,
whatever it is, the Beatles company. So I'm just saying, like, maybe you should take a
look and-
Oh, there's two sides to every story.
There's two sides to every story. There's two sides to every story.
For sure.
According to Taylor, they never gave me the opportunity to buy them.
I found out about it when everybody else found out about it on the press.
According to other sources, that is not true, right?
And according to some emails that were published, that's not true.
So you know, and listen, that still doesn't mean that they were offering her some good deal. That still doesn't mean that they like called her six months
in advance and tried to work it out with her in an amicable way. I don't know. I wasn't in the room,
but I'm just sharing that I always was like, oh, good for Taylor. Go, Taylor, do this, take control
of your life, you know, get it. And I still say all of that, but I'm just sharing that, you know,
this sounds like it was a contractual
dispute that got way out of hand. Like the PR machine just went to work and got way out
of hand. And it's very interesting. And listen, Taylor's versions have been extraordinarily
successful. I mean, I think she did what she wanted to do. And that is recreate note by
note the exact albums that she had put out after this
expiration date, like when she was legally allowed to go record them again.
And she did it note for note.
It's almost the same exact thing.
It is really the same exact thing with a few extra added songs or whatever it is.
And she sold more copies of Taylor's versions of those albums than she did of the original versions
of those when they came, when they first came out. And apparently she still got one or two
albums left to do. What a huge undertaking and a huge, like, I'm going to control my
shit. I'm pulling it back. And she went on a PR campaign to tell everybody not to press
play on that version, press play on Taylor's version, and they all did. And she made them feel that it was a bad thing to press play on the other version.
And it was just an amazing move, like power move, like super ballsy power
move by a super rock star, right?
It's like a total rock star, but the kind of move we can't pull here at the commercial room.
If we ever, if we ever tried to roll over on somebody, they'd be like, ah,
it really guys?
It's like when Blue comes in here and jumps on my leg and I just push her down, that'd be me.
That'd be the commercial break asking for anything.
But I just have to share that,
and here's why I wanted to share it,
not to make a point, not to give you my opinion,
because it's not important.
I just wanted to share that it's out there,
and if you're interested in that kind of shit,
you should go watch it.
Taylor versus Scooter.
It's a really interesting documentary, two versions.
The first is Taylor's, the second is Scooter's.
Neither of them talk in this directly,
like there's press clippings,
but neither of them say anything directly.
But there's a lot of archival footage.
They take you through some periods.
They take you way back to the beginning.
They show you how this all went down.
And then they have high influence attorneys and entertainment lawyers who will share their
opinions on exactly what was going on.
And I guarantee you, it's two hours that will go quick and you will find very fascinating.
All right.
Thank you.
I just wanted to share that.
Well, it's apparently you know, and I don't know.
If you know, you know.
About this documentary.
So I need to watch it and get in the know.
Take a picture of your foot and send it to me.
One time they like took a picture of them
at like a creek or something, you know,
with like rocks and water flowing water and their two feet were just like hanging out
and they were taking the picture of their foot and it was like, of all the creeks in
the world.
I know that one.
I mean, come on.
No, that's ridiculous.
Oh my gosh.
Please stop saying if you know, you know, start here on the commercial break.
Let them know that you don't know and that you don't care if they know.
Just let them know that.
