The faster money and data move, the further your business can go to a
seamless digital future for Canadians. Let's go faster forward together. In Life, Interact.
Now that I'm a fashion designer, I'm in a tumble threat. Reality star, actress, singer-songwriter,
perfumist, IBS survivor, best-selling author of a book I didn't write,
catchphrase coiner, I'll take that with cheese.
On this episode of The Commercial Break...
And I think Jake has made a mockery of boxing,
though I do think he is a fighter that has some command
of what he's doing.
He's not a traditional boxer.
He's more of a street brawler.
But he's a big guy, and he can swing his arm.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think they would have done the fight,
you know, moved forward.
No.
Yeah.
No.
But let there be sweet justice in this universe,
and let him get the holy shit knocked out of him.
I don't want to see the guy, like, permanently hurt. I just want to see Mike Tyson just hit him a couple times hard. Knock him out. Let there be sweet justice in this universe and let him get the holy shit knocked out
of him.
I don't want to see the guy like permanently hurt.
I just want to see Mike Tyson just hit him a couple times hard.
Knock him out.
Knock him out.
Please, Mike.
Please.
The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.
Yes, we certainly are.
Cast and kittens, welcome back to the Commercial Break.
I'm Brian Green.
This is my dear friend and the co-host of the show, Brian Green.
I'm Brian Green.
I'm Brian Green.
I'm Brian Green. I'm Brian Green. I'm Brian Green. I'm Brian Green. I'm Brian Green. Oh yes, we certainly are. Cass and Kitten, welcome back to the commercial break.
I'm Brian Green.
This is my dear friend and the co-host of the show, Kristen Joy Hoadley.
Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe.
Thanks for joining us.
I mean, you have to excuse me.
I'm in the middle of watching the brand new trailer for Tom Cruise's new Mission Impossible
movie where Tom is hanging onto an airplane that is doing
circles that is like literally twisting in the sky and he's hanging on to the
airplane and this is not a stunt double this is Tom actually doing this who in
the good fuck is allowing this to happen he is 72 how does he 67 68 years old
I think this Tom Cruise he's got to be in his 60s, right? I think so.
How old is that Scientologist guy?
62.
He's 62 years old.
And somehow Paramount, who I think makes it,
I think they make these movies, is still
allowing him to do these incredibly insane stunts. If he dies,
along with it goes some of the most, some of the only Big Ten gangbuster for sure making
a billion dollar movies. And I don't know how they're letting him do this. Let the stunt
double do it. You're 62, Tom. Don't you have children? They have Surrey and Yuri and Frye
and French Frye and something like that, right? And isn't he like the, you know, King Ak Ak of the Scientology world?
Like, how is Scientology letting him do this? That's my question.
Isn't there somebody at Scientology going, hey, this guy goes and we got the only representative that has ever brought more people in the door is gone.
That's it. He's gone.
Yeah. I know he likes to do all his own stunts. Nine times out of ten. I will wholly reject big tent, tent pole, kind of summer blockbuster movies.
We've talked about this. Twisters and all this. I just wholly reject the idea of CGI, big action sequence, like I just don't,
I know they're popular for a reason
because people tend to think they're good movies,
they're fun, they're enjoyable, you go to the movies
and you have a little, you know, two hours
where you're not thinking about something else,
but I just don't get into those type of movies, usually.
But I do have to say that I caught the latest mission
in possible on television, like on HBO, I don't know, maybe two months
ago and it was fun from beginning to end.
I liked it a lot.
Yeah.
I was like, okay, I get why people like this.
Now I haven't seen half of those Mission Impossible movies and now I'm looking forward to the
next one coming out because I'm like, okay, now we get to see how the story finishes because
it's a part one, part two.
Is it really finished?
How many have there been?
Six, I think.
Okay.
How many, let's see.
Hold on one second.
Oh my God, now Siri doesn't wanna fuck.
How many of those Mission Impossible movies
starring that Scientologist guy has there been?
Six sounds about right.
Yep.
Oh, well, hold on.
It doesn't, that's not, it's,
oh, now it wants, now it's,
an answer to something about Valentine's Day.
How many Mission Impossible movies are there?
There are, why can't you just give me one simple answer? How many Mission Impossible movies are there?
There are, why can't you just give me one simple answer?
Right, like five.
Now I gotta go count them myself.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
There are seven of them with an eighth coming.
With an eighth coming, okay.
With an eighth coming.
Eighth is like the, it's like part one, part two.
Okay.
So the seventh is, there's a, whatever, part one, part two, you get it. Part one, I almost died.
Part two, I almost died. I mean, that guy, it's like, last time he was hanging onto the side of
the plane while it took off. This time he's doing circles in the air with the airplane, does all of
his own flying, or most of his own flying for that Top Gun movie, which
is just insanity. The way that they fly those planes. I mean, you are-
That second Top Gun was good. I didn't want it.
Never saw it. Never saw it.
Didn't want to like it and I liked it.
Yeah. I don't want to like it and that's why I'm not watching it because I know I'll like
it once I watch it. It's like that Wall Burger.
It's okay to like it.
It's like Wall Burger. I'm not going in there because I don't want to like a Wall Burger.
You know what I'm saying? I just don't. I'm sorry. I just don't want to go in and like a Wall Burger.
There are just some things in life you don't do because you know you will then become one of those,
you know, I don't go to a Trump rally. I don't want to admit that, you know, I don't like most of what he says, but there was a few things in there
that I can agree with.
It's true.
It's true.
I mean, you know, you just, you know, you're laying, you stay in it and you know, that's
what most of us do.
You didn't want to like the cobra breath, but you did.
I didn't want to be a cobra breath guy, but now I'm a coon- guy guy. That's it. That's the Cobra breath. But you got to breathe into
your third eye. Just remember that. There's a third hole in your head and you got to breathe
into it or at least imagine you are. I just did that and now one of my ears is clogged. Thanks, Kundalini. I can't hear.
I went deaf.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
But you're feeling enlightened, aren't you?
Meanwhile, Tom Cruise is 30,000 feet in the air
doing circles on the top of an airplane,
spinning around like an idiot.
Brian does the Cobra Breath once,
goes deaf in his right ear.
That's about right. That's about right. How did my stunt make me deaf? And Tom's like the one step away from God.
Scientology. I'm not going to talk about it because every time I do the episode ends up not...
Yeah.
We attempted it.
I think it just bears repeating. Chrissy and I tried multiple attempts to do like an expose,
and I say an expose,
like the commercial breaks 60 minutes or something.
I think we tried to talk about it.
Yeah, we can't even get half the facts straight.
No, we can't.
Expose.
Expose.
We just tried to discuss it. This is why we desperately need someone to keep us honest in this studio because we just
cannot get the facts right.
Christina soon should be joining us here in the studio, which will be fun, but like permanently
on a permanent basis, like sitting here with us, helping us do the show.
But anyway, me too. But, you know, we tried to do this,
we tried to have these conversations and point out some of the hypocrisy and weirder things about
Scientology. And every time that we did some kind of technical mishap happened. Like the power went
out. It didn't record for some reason. The screen only recorded black. And I am not kidding you, this happened on four different occasions.
And that weirded us so far out that we decided let's just drop it.
And it wasn't like we did this like back to back to back.
We tried to do this on like, you know, weeks apart and it just didn't,
it just never came out.
So that's why you've never heard an episode about Scientology here
on the commercial break.
But you know, anyway, going clear. I have clear. Do you have clear?
clear a lot of times though clear the airport thing a lot of times like Esther and I went to to go do the surgery and
Did I tell you this about my surgery? I don't know if I told you this I go
We get to the airport and we here in Atlanta, of course, Atlanta is the world's busiest airport.
So we have a lot of technological advancements.
We seem to be one of the first to always get the new shit for security.
We have those, they look like airplane engines, but they're X-ray machines and they're like
particle detectors.
They're looking for certain types of radioactive particles, bomb particles, gunpowder, stuff
like that.
So it's not a normal x-ray machine.
And they also use AI.
So they will light up certain objects that seem suspicious, and then you'll get a pair
of eyes on it.
It's really amazing how far the technology has come.
And they do the same thing basically with your body.
You stand there and you put your hands in the air, you're not supposed to have anything
on you.
They're looking for certain objects and particles inside of your body, you know, you stand there and you put your hands in the air, you're not supposed to have anything on you. They're looking for certain objects
and particles inside of your body.
So anyway, here in Atlanta now,
they have like five different versions of the security line.
There's the regular security line
that most people go through, they just go through it.
There is of course the clear,
which is they have those in like 10 locations,
11 locations around the country,
which is a private service that will do a background check on you and consistently background checking you.
Sort of like TSA pre-check, but it's a private service that the government uses.
And you use your eyes.
And you use your eyes. You use your retinas. In most cases.
Some people use their fingerprints if they have something wrong with their eyes, but most people use their eyes.
So you go up to a machine, it scans your retina, it detects who you are, you don't have to take out your identification.
Most cases you do not have to take off your shoes, belt, or take out your computer. You just put it
all in and you go through a special line. Then there's TSA PreCheck, which is a lot like Clear,
but it's run by the government. You can also then have TSA Clear, TSA PreCheck with Clear,
which it makes no difference whatsoever.
It's all the same, even though it sounds fancy, it's not.
And now they have digital identification if you're going on a Delta flight.
Yeah, I have that.
I have that too. And digital ID, it'll show up on your ticket or your phone.
When you have the app, it'll show up and we've had it.
I've had it ever since it came out. All of a sudden, they told me to go to digital ID line.
I was like, oh, OK, whatever.
And so they do a lot of the same thing.
They scan your eyes.
They take a picture of you.
They scan your eyes.
You have to go through some version of security.
But you never take out your identification.
Yeah, it's very fast.
It's very fast.
I love it.
And so sometimes the wait at the regular security line
can be 30 or 40 minutes on a bad day.
It's not usually like that, but on a bad day,
but at least 15 most days that you're flying,
but digital ID five minutes tops, right?
Unless-
Yeah, you breeze through.
Yeah, you breeze through.
So, okay.
So we go and then we go to Tampa.
We do the digital Astrid has it too.
We go to digital ID.
I also have pre-check.
So, you know, how I got pre-check,
I have no idea quite frankly, but I got through.
They approved you.
Yeah.
So we get down to Tampa and we rent the car.
Astrid rents the car because I'm having surgery.
So it's likely I won't be able to drive, right?
Why we rented a car, I don't know,
because we rent the car, we drive out of the airport.
We literally go through one light and there is the hotel.
We could have walked there in less time
than it took us to get the car.
By the way, when we got down to Tampa,
there were no, Astrid was like,
we're getting off the plane.
And Astrid's like, I'm like, what are you doing?
She's like, oh, I'm renting a car.
And I'm like, you're renting a car?
You didn't rent a car?
She goes, no, I just figured we'll just rent a car
when we land.
Well, then she rents a car from some place called like,
Chewie's Rent-A-Car or something like that,
like, you know, whatever, you know, Ringo's rent a car.
And I'm like, where is that?
And she's like, I don't know.
It's just a rental car.
It's cheap.
You know, I look at it.
The rental car place is literally four miles from the airport.
And I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, babe.
We're not going to go get in an Uber and drive here and go there to get
Ringo's fucking who the fuck has ever heard of Ringo's right.
Paylay's rental car. It's usually like a shuttle, right? For airports. No shuttle for Ringo's. You got to get thereingo's fucking, who the fuck has ever heard of Ringo's? Right? It's usually like a shuttle, right?
For airports.
No shuttle for Ringo's.
You got to get there on your own.
And by the way, Astrid is the planner, the vacation planner, the travel planner, quite
frankly, the planner of my life.
She's the planner of everything.
And so it surprised me she had waited till the last minute to do this.
But I also understand we've been very busy with other travel and sicknesses and all this other stuff
So we get to the airport and I'm like, no no cancel that call them tell them we didn't make the flight
whatever you have to say to get the
$25 deposit back and I walk we go to the rent-a-car place and I walk up to budget and there's no one standing there budget
Avis no one anywhere except for the workers like two of them and I go to the kiosk to rent a car and some guy comes from behind the counter.
I have a ticket in my hand, like, you know, your number 42 waiting to be served. He takes
the ticket out of my hand and rips it up. He was so fucking rude. And he's like, no
cars. And I go, what do you mean no cars? And he goes, you don't have a reservation?
I go, no. He goes, we have no cars. And I was like, oh, okay. I'll go some, you know,
I'll go somewhere else. Thanks very much. He goes, no cars there or there or there either. No cars.
And I go, why? When he hears we were in Tampa after the hurricane, people's cars get washed away.
The insurance company tells them to go rent a car. They have to go to the airport because that's where
most of the cars are. Right. So we ended up going to like, you know, I don't know.
Yeah, Pepe's Auto or something like that.
It was like this tiny little desk in the back of the rental car place.
Astrid rents the car. We get to the hotel. Hotel's in my name.
Lady goes major credit card and ID like always, right? Major credit card ID.
I take out my major credit card. I cannot find my identification.
It's nowhere to be found. And I'm like, Oh, I don't have an ID on me. And she's like, Well, okay, just give me your phone
number. Like, you know, give me your phone number. You have the credit card. Just give me your phone
number. It's fine. And I'm like, Okay, but what about flying back? And then I was like, Okay,
no, I was the panic. Oh, my God, I just like my stomach sunk. And I'm like, do I call my dad and have him FedEx my ID?
Where is my ID?
Where did I leave it?
And my calcium filled brain can't even remember
the last time that I used my ID.
I have a digital driver's license, by the way,
in the state of Georgia.
So sometimes I'll leave the house,
my credit cards are on my phone, my ID is on my phone,
pictures of my passport are on my phone. I don't on my phone. Pictures of my passport are on my phone.
I don't know. Do I really need a wallet sometimes? Not really.
So we check into the hotel and we get there and I'm like, babe, I forgot my, she's like, holy shit.
I go, oh yeah, but don't worry about it. We have that digital ID.
But then I realize after some research,
Tampa, Atlanta is one of two places that has digital ID in the world
and Tampa doesn't have it.
And they don't have Clear.
And I'm like, holy shit.
Yeah, I think it's us in Minneapolis.
Is that right?
Where, that has digital ID?
Yeah, yeah.
And then Clear is only like in 11 locations.
So I was like, oh shit bars, what am I gonna do?
Have the surgery, we're only there for like a day and a half,
two days, two nights.
And you can't find it anywhere.
Oh, it's not with me. I know it's not with me. It's not in my wallet, so it's not with
me. I just know it's not with me, right? But I don't know where I left it. I can't remember.
But I'm like, oh, I have pictures of it. Right? So I'm like, okay, I'm not going to worry
about it. I'm Googling. I hear some people say, you know, oh, they have TSA pre-check
there. They can run your fingerprint, whatever. So the morning that we're leaving,
day after surgery, I call the airport and I say, hey, you know, get the general information.
By the way, calling an airport is like good luck getting a hold of somebody.
I can imagine.
Who answers the phone at the airport? Press one for TSA. Press two to hear what time your flight leave. Press three for
current weather conditions. Press four. Fuck you.
So you actually called the airport and not the airline?
No, I called the airport.
I didn't even know you could call the airport.
Yes, of course. There's a phone somewhere.
Yeah. What do you think happens when?
Agent Mr. Green, Mr. Green, pick up a house phone.
Remember that?
I mean, it happened all the time when we were kids.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I called the airport and after pressing 75 buttons,
I finally get someone on the phone and she's like,
hey, you know, whatever, Tampa Regional Airport,
how about International Airport, how can I help you? And I Tampa regional airport, I have an international airport, I can help you.
And I said, yeah, I have a really weird situation on my hands.
I actually left my identification in Atlanta where I flew from, but they
don't require identification when you have, you know, this digital ID.
And she's like, you didn't, you didn't have to have an ID to get on the plane.
And I go, no, a digital ID.
And she was like, oh yeah, that's, that's weird.
She goes, well, this doesn't happen often
because you really do need an ID to get on an airplane.
But she's like, do you have like some form of identification
like an insurance card?
I go, yeah, yeah, I have insurance card.
And she goes, okay, I know that this does happen
and TSA has a process for getting you on the airplane,
but I would be there at least an hour early.
Right, go early.
Yeah. So I asked her, and I get there an hour earlier than the hour early we're going to get there.
So, now we're like two hours early, right? Which I fucking hate, by the way.
I know.
And I just know my luck. This is going to be done in one minute and I'm going to be stuck there for
two hours at the TGI-
At the TGI-
At the Tampa Regional Airport.
At the TGI Fridays.
Yes, at the TGI Fridays. It's fucking TGI Fridays. But it's Tampa, so there's no TGI Fridays.
They have like disparate, Atlanta really does have a great airport because when you go to
other like smaller airports like Tampa, you realize how great the Atlanta airport is because
they have disparate terminals where you have to like, you know, take a shuttle bus over
to another terminal and
Each terminal has a Starbucks and one other shitty restaurant that no one cares about and then four of those, you know
Newsstands whatever the duty free like I'm you know, gonna buy a box of camels for $100 anyway
Like who's still buying cartons of cigarettes? I guess lots of people buy cartons of cigarettes at the duty free
Yeah, so we get to so I go up to TSA PreCheck, which they have there, and I say, you know, hey, listen,
the lady wants my ID. And I say, hey, listen, I don't have my ID. And this lady is stumped. It's
like her first day on the job. She's like, you don't have an ID? And I go, yeah. And she's like,
okay, hold on one second.
Security alert four, security alert four, line three, security alert four.
And then like, you know, like some lady comes waddling over, you know, like this.
And she's looks at my, you know, she grabs my phone and then she looks at the lady and
she goes, what's going on?
And she, oh, he doesn't have an identification.
And she's like, you don't have an ID on you?
And I go, no. And she goes, okay, sir, I'm going to need you to step over here. And I'm like, oh,
shit, here we go. Right? And then she's like, security alert, blue, blue, blue.
So now I'm being surrounded. And then, yes. And then she's like, do you have a major credit card,
any kind of information, you know, anything in your, anything with you that might, I go, yeah,
I got 50 credit cards.
Yeah, here, take all of them.
All of them canceled.
Take all of this, yeah.
None of them valid, but they have my name on them.
If you're gonna swipe them, that might be a problem.
But if you're just looking at the name on them,
I got that all day long.
So she's like, okay, I need you to go into the regular line
and my manager's gonna come over.
And so then Astrid's standing there and the lady goes,
do you wanna go with him or do you wanna go through pre-check?
And I'm like, babe, it's up to you, whatever you wanna do.
And she's like, she like thinks for a second, she pauses.
And I honestly don't care either way,
cause I know I'm the one who's gonna have to go
through the drama and she goes,
Astrid goes, I'll go with him. So now there's like
a 15 minute line for the right. So I'm standing at the end of this line. And then all of a
sudden, like this cadre of people start walking up to this other lady who's then talking and
they're looking at me and pointing and whispering. And then this manager comes back and she goes,
is this you, sir? Is this you? And I go, yes, this is me without the ticket. And she's like,
please come this way. And she opens the little, you know, little fence.
Yeah, yeah. The belt.
The belt. Yeah. That's never stopped anybody from doing anything ever. They have those
at Disney World, like they're going to stop people from politely cutting in line. That
always happens. So she shovels me in and then she goes, okay, sir, let me see, you know, some other forms
of identification. I give it to her and then she goes, let me see your phone, please. And I give
her my phone and she takes it and she scans it. And I guess a picture of me comes up on the computer
for the paper. And then she goes, okay. And then she opens up the belt again to have me put my
stuff on the conveyor belt and then go
through the, you know, the little thing that goes, yeah.
The body scanner that has a picture, like, you know, a silhouette of your body that shows
you how to stand.
Like you don't know how to stand.
All right.
And she says to me before I go through, she goes, you're going to have to go through additional
screening.
We're just going to have to do that.
And I was like, okay, I understand. I got it. Not
your fault, my fault. So she goes there. Okay. So now they put my stuff through security.
They're going back and forth on the security belt. I can see my bag just going back and
forth on the security belt. Like the lady's just dying for something to be wrong. Get
down. I have my belt off, my shoes. The guy tells me to put my shoes up on the table.
I do the whole nine yards. So he takes one of those cloths, you know, that machine, and he's rubbing everything I've got,
and he goes, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to, and I only have a carry-on with me, but he says,
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to wipe every bit of this bag, every hole. Okay. All right.
You mean on the outside?
And the inside.
And the inside. Wow.
In my vanity case, every inch of it.
He wipes my shoes, he wipes my belt,
he wipes my hand, everything, right?
Everything.
So, okay, everything's good, right?
He's going through it,
he's got like five of these little claws.
He's going through it, one, one, one, one, one.
And then all of the sudden, Chrissy,
oh wait.
Oh wait.
Okay.
Okay.
And I'm like, it's like a loud noise.
And then he's like, security shirt blue, security shirt blue, line three.
And I'm like, oh fuck.
And he looks at me and he goes, stay right there.
And I'm like, I'm like, what am I going to do, run?
Take off.
Yeah.
What am I going to do, take off?
There's like 30 armed guards right there.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to do like a stop, drop and roll
and go under the table. Jump on a plane. Literally jump on a plane. So my shoes are hitting on
something. And I don't know what it is, but he does it again and it hits again. And then
the manager comes over and I think she's just like kind of done with me altogether So now we're like 15 16 17 minutes into this whole thing and she I think she's just done with me
She takes the shoes. She stops this whole security line
She takes the shoes
she puts them through the x-ray machine and you can watch him go back and forth and back and forth and back and
Forth and then finally they come back out and she goes, okay, you can go and I'm like, oh, okay
Thanks so much. She's like, yeah, next time bring your ID.
Okay, got it.
10-4.
So now I'm putting all my shit back in, you know, collecting all my stuff, putting it
in my bag.
Right, getting dressed.
Yeah.
Now I'm like 22 minutes into this and Astrid still isn't there, the security like, oh no,
she was back.
Astrid, poor Astrid had to stand in line for like 22 minutes.
Oh no.
Sweet justice.
Poor Astrid.
Did you find your ID?
I did, it was in my car in the glove box
with my passport, which I left parked
at some shitty parking lot in Atlanta.
Oh good, that's right.
Because of course they're doing the world's
biggest parking lot expansion in Atlanta. You, good, that's right. Because of course, they're doing the world's biggest parking lot expansion in Atlanta.
You can't find a fucking parking spot.
So we had to go to one of those, you know, like they say it's the official parking, but
it's like 10 miles away.
The park and ride thing?
Yes!
And then the park and ride people, those buses, that is the worst experience.
I mean, honestly, can they find somebody that can drive first of all?
And second of all, find someone that's not angry about it.
I mean, all those drivers are so angry and it's like, I guess I would be too if I had
to drive around the airport in circles, but you know, what are you going to do?
Anyway, it just goes to show kids.
I don't know what it goes to show, but it just goes to show.
He might need an ID.
Don't jump on an airplane.
There you go.
Like Tom Cruise.
We'll be back.
Since you clearly haven't had enough of me yet,
I am back to yapping your ear
and subsequently into your heart
to tell you to follow us on Instagram,
at the commercial break,
and on TikTok at TCD Podcast.
You've heard these liners enough
to know that we are desperate for followers, so help a
girl out.
While you're at it, maybe shoot us a text at 212-433-3TCB or leave us a voicemail spilling
your guts and asking for advice.
You can also check out our website, tcbpodcast.com, if you feel like perusing our catalog or if
you're just bored.
Now, let's listen to some sponsors because they keep me paid.
This episode is sponsored in part by Zbiotics, pre-alcohol.
Let's face it, most of us are not 21 years old,
partying like we used to.
We have to make the choice between a great night
or a great morning after.
At least that's what we thought,
Chrissy and I, until we tried pre-alcohol.
I don't drink a
whole bunch anymore and I was on the fence about this one. But a few weeks ago, Astor and I went
out for some drinks for my birthday. The pre-alcohol was sitting on the counter and I decided why not
give it a try. And let me tell you, pre-alcohol is the real deal. Zbiotic's pre-alcohol probiotic drink
is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. This was invented by PhD scientists
to tackle rough mornings after drinking.
Let me tell you how it works.
When you drink, alcohol gets converted
into a toxic byproduct in your gut.
It's this byproduct, not dehydration,
that's to blame for your rough next morning.
But pre-alcohol produces an enzyme
to break this byproduct down.
You just need to remember to make Z-biotics
your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you're going to feel your best tomorrow. I kept hearing about
pre-alcohol and I wondered what is it actually like. Now that I've tried it, I get why everyone
is talking about it. And with their GMO technology, Zbiotics is continuing to invent probiotics
that will help the everyday challenges of modern living. So go to zbiotics.com slash

Thank you Zbiotics for being a sponsor of a wonderful morning after drinks and of the
commercial break.
I'm Jenna Fisher and I'm Angela Kinsey.

Follow and listen to Office Ladies on the free Odyssey app and wherever you get your podcasts.
All right. A couple little housecleaning things that I want to get to. First of all, people
have asked, when are you going to get to the fucking point about the Spain trip? I will.
I promise. I'll tell the wedding story this week. I promise. But to be honest with you,
we've had a couple other things on our mind.
The whole world's had a couple other things on their mind.
So I just didn't feel very much like in the funny story mood last week,
so I didn't finish the story, but I will this week.
Don't worry about it. Not today.
Uh, not today. No, you don't get it today,
because you were pissy about it, you fuckers.
Uh, number two, next week we're gonna do a show on red flags,
dating and relationship red flags.
Please send those in, 212-4333-TCB...
TCB?
Blee.
Bleeeh.
Guruj BG.
Yogi BG.
Do me a favor and send in your relationship red flags to that phone number, 212-4333-822.
And then also we wanna know if you would watch us record an episode of the
commercial break live on Twitch one day a week, not now, but in season number six
in 2025, if you're interested in that, let us know and text us.
Cause if we get just one response, it's likely we're going to do it.
Cause I, I figure for every one person that texts us about something, that there's like 10
others who really have no interest in communicating with us whatsoever, or are too busy with their own
lives. So, I think we have 10 listeners, quite frankly. Did you get that math? Is that a joke?
You're going to laugh? No, you weren't going to laugh. Okay. Trump Tyson this week, I mean Trump Tyson. I wish, I wish, God I wish.
Oh, I wish, I wish someone would knock him down a peg.
But-
No, it's the Jake Paul, is that his name?
Jake Paul.
And Mike Tyson.
And Mike Tyson.
I didn't even know this was still on.
It is still on.
I saw on Netflix, I saw that they have the behind the scenes
or whatever, like the leading up to.
Oh, they do?
Yes, I almost watched it.
I almost watched it.
You gotta watch it.
But then I was like, well, wait, so it's still on?
Yes, it's happening this Saturday.
Yeah, is that November 18th, I think is what that is?
November 17th.
15th.
17th, yesterday was the 10th.
The 19th is Tuesday. 16th.
Okay.
16th.
Hold on, what day is Saturday? Hold on. I'm going to open it up. I'll open
up Netflix right now and we'll see when it is. Okay. Anyway, it's this Saturday, I believe
is when it is because it makes most sense for it to be on Saturday, right?
I thought maybe it said Friday, but I might be wrong.
Hold on one second. Okay. Now. Oh yeah. Now I do see the countdown. Paul versus Tyson.
Yeah.
God bless America. If there is any justice in this world after the last couple of weeks that we've
had, if there's any justice in this world, let us all take a collective exhale when Paul gets the
holy shit knocked out of him, I mean, please, please
let Tyson be in some kind of fighting form because Paul is no, he's no joke. Like he
can fight, right? I mean, he's won most of his fights. I think he lost one, but he was
doing the UFC stuff. Is that right? I really don't know.
UFC and boxing. He got paid. He's gotten paid hundreds of millions of dollars to box. And
I mean, he's kind of made a mockery of the whole, I mean, listen, professional boxing
in general is kind of a mockery.
Like it's just a shitty, scammy, weird sport.
But when two boxers get in the ring, I am not a fighting guy.
I watch some UFC sometimes when it's on at my brother's house, like, but it's not my
thing, right? And it's not my
thing unless like there's some kind of crazy event happening, right? Unless it's just like...
Unless it's Mike Tyson.
Unless it's Mike Tyson. That's it. Mike Tyson is a super famous, storied boxer. And what a life
that guy has lived. Now, I don't agree, and I don't think
all parts of Mike Tyson are fantastic. He is a convicted rapist, right? Which is terrible.
He bit off of Vander Holyfield's ear, which is terrible. He was a little bit of a monster,
and not a little bit, a monster for a while. But it appears to me-
But then he was in the hangover.
In the hangover and everything's okay. We're all better now. Everything's great.
Cares that he raped somebody. We're fine now. It's all good. We've made up. We kissed and made up.
Now, I do have to say that watching him, and I've seen documentaries about how he cares for pigeons.
That's right. Did he have a reality series for a minute?
He did, I think, on HBO at some point or something like that.
So I'm not saying that Mike Tyson is all good.
I don't think that.
There's some things you just can't take back.
But I do think that having watched him over the years,
he is evolving as a human being.
And for that, you can give anybody credit, right?
There's murderers in jail who evolve.
You can't take back the fact that you murdered somebody.
That's a really terrible thing that can never be unwound.
And that doesn't make you wholly a good person that you change your life.
But throwing the baby out with the bath water sometimes is not the right answer.
And sometimes you can change. Now, having nothing to do with Mike Tyson's personal life, I just dislike
the Paul brothers altogether. I really do. I just don't like them. Let's just put it
that way. I just don't like them. I don't like the vibe. I'm not interested in it. I
just don't care.
I haven't even realized the whole trajectory of that guy's career.
The Paul brothers?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
From like a young age.
He was like the number one YouTuber at 17 or something.
His brother, yes.
Okay, this is his brother.
This is his brother.
Jake is the brother of Aaron Paul.
I can never remember that guy's first name.
Paul Brothers.
Hold on one second.
I don't know.
I think this was from the behind the scenes thing
that they were giving his like... Logan, I'm sorry. Why'd I say Aaron Paul? Aaron Paul
is the guy from Breaking Bad. Sorry, Aaron. I like you. I do like you. Logan and Jake.
So Logan Paul has been a famous YouTuber for a long time.
Oh, it was Logan.
Yeah, with his own set of bullshit. And listen, anybody who grows up in front of camera is gonna have some missteps.
It's just a reality. So I'm not faulting the guy for that.
He's gonna have some missteps, some misjudgments. When you become that famous for doing silly shit,
sometimes the silliness goes too far and he's certainly taking it too far.
Was it kind of jackass-y stuff?
Not really.
He was appealing to teens and kids when he was younger,
and then he did this stunt.
And honestly, for fear that I demonetize
this particular episode,
and I know that that's shitty to say,
but I'm gonna say this as carefully as I can.
There is a famous forest in Japan where people unalive themselves. You understand what I'm gonna say this as carefully as I can. There is a famous forest in Japan
where people unalive themselves.
You understand what I'm saying?
Okay.
And he went there and they found a body,
an actual body they found.
Yes, and he made light of the situation
in a way that just like says, I'm kind of not human.
Like, why would you do that?
I didn't even know that.
Yeah, and then putting it out on YouTube, nonetheless. So now you're just like monet, I'm kind of not human. Like, why would you do that? I didn't even know that. Yeah, and then putting it out on YouTube, nonetheless.
So now you're just like monetizing this whole situation
that's really not very great.
But then just like the energy in general,
like they have been involved in altcoin,
questionable activities and NFT.
NFT in general is a questionable activity,
but then they were involved in some-
Did you see the Bitcoin?
Bitcoin!
It's soaring.
Can I tell you something?
Can I tell you something?
I wrote that today, I was like-
I bought altcoin the day after the election,
and I have done well.
Okay. I have done well.
It's the only smart investment decisions I have ever made
have been around that fucking altcoin.
I don't know, because so much of it relies on sentiment, right?
And so like the sentiment in the market.
And when Trump became president, I knew for a fact that the crypto bros were going to
go crazy.
And they did.
They have for certain.
Anyway, so the Paul brothers in general just rubbed me the wrong way.
And I think Jake has made a mockery of boxing,
though I do think he is a fighter that has some command
of what he's doing.
He's not a traditional boxer.
He's more of a street brawler, but he's a big guy.
And he can swing his arm.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think they would have done the fight,
you know, moved forward.
No, no.
But let there be sweet justice in this universe
and let him get the holy shit
knocked out of him. I don't want to see the guy like permanently hurt. I just want to
see Mike Tyson just hit him a couple times hard.
Knock him out.
Knock him out. Please, Mike, please do this for the rest of us. Let us put a period on
your life and say, he turned his life around somewhat and then he beat the shit off on
Jake Paul and we all feel good about it. I think that, you know, listen, there's a lot of people rooting
for Jake too. There are a lot of people that like that guy. They like, they like, I don't know,
there's a certain type of like disruptor energy, especially that male disruptor energy,
that like grab your dick and spit fire kind of thing that is really like appealing to a lot of people right now.
Oh, definitely.
And put that aside for a second.
I just don't like the guy.
I just, he just rubs me the wrong way.
I just don't like him.
He seems cocky and weird.
And I guess maybe part of me is jealous
that Jake Paul can all of a sudden become a boxer,
get hept up on whatever.
It's the 15th.
It's Friday. It's Friday.
It's Friday night?
Yeah.
Why would they do it on a Friday night?
That's what it says here.
Scheduled for November 15th.
Why would they do it on a Friday night?
That seems weird to do it on Friday night.
Why wouldn't they do it on Saturday night?
Mainly because I'll be at my dad's house
and I'm not sure he has Netflix.
Fuck.
Now I'm going to have to watch it on my phone.
That sucks.
I know.
And I would just turn on my Netflix at my dad's house, but of course Netflix has all
the, you know, controlling my television watching these days.
And anytime someone else logs into the Netflix, then I get logged out of my Netflix.
It's so crazy.
That and Amazon Prime.
I'm so pissed at both of them.
I know.
I keep having to re-log in to stuff all the time.
Yeah. Well, we've all shared information. We've all done it, right? And then,
fuck you, motherfucker. Anyway, on the 15th, let us all kneel and bow and pray at the altar of
Netflix and watch this and see if we can get some sweet jobs, just like a consolation prize.
Oh, I'm definitely watching.
Oh, for sure. And yeah, some, like a consolation prize. Oh, I'm definitely watching.
Oh, for sure.
And, yeah, I think part of me.
When was the last time he was even in a big fight? Like a big...
Oh, God, Chris. It's been years.
Evander Holyfield?
I mean, it has been years.
Tyson's last...
He's 58.
Yep. Jesus, the guy's old, man. I mean, not old, but old for a boxer.
June 2005, Roy Jones Jr.
Oh my God, that's right.
Yeah, that's almost 20 years ago.
In an exhibition match that ended in a draw.
That's right.
He was 38 years old then.
He's 58 years old now.
The guy is old, but I hear that he has like-
Yeah, he's been in training.
Yeah, I've been watching some of the videos
and stuff like that, Some social media stuff.
He has been training and he does look good.
I don't care how old the guy is when he swings his fist, like when he's like, you know, sparring with his partner and he swings that fist, it's like a fucking
brick wall coming at it.
It's gotta be.
I can't even listen.
I do give Jake Paul credit for one thing.
If there is one sports related, I would rather be in an NFL
football game as a fucking offensive lineman than fight Mike Tyson. I really would. I really
would rather get hit by the Georgia Bulldogs front line. It was not very good this year,
but anyway, then I would get hit by Mike Tyson
just once.
Like, just once.
If you offered me $5 million to get punched by Mike Tyson just once, just let Mike just
punch you just once, just one square shot, I am not sure that I would take that $5 million.
Really?
If you offered me 10, I would.
But if you offered me five, I'm not sure.
Well, I'm just thinking about what the number is.
Because that could cause permanent damage to your brain.
Yeah.
You break your jaw, you fucking break your nose.
You could mingle your face.
I mean, that guy hits and that guy hits hard.
How much money would it take for you to get,
well, not you. Yeah. I wouldn't to see you hit. Jeff, how much money
would they have to pay you to get Jeff hit by Mike Tyson?
No, I agree. There could be brain damage. So I don't want that.
I think for Jeff, it's 10 too. I bet if you asked Jeff, it would be 10.
I don't think so.
Dear Jeff, Mike Tyson's going to hit you, but I will be rich for the rest of our lives.
You will be unable to make decisions.
God, I guess they're weighing about the same too.
What do they weigh?
225 is Paul and 224 is Tyson.
And how tall are they?
Tyson's 5'10".
Paul is 6'1".
Yeah, that's a pretty big height advantage. Three inches, four inches. His pre-fight record, 10. Okay, that's my height. Paul is six, one. Yeah, that's a pretty big height advantage.
Three inches, four inches.
His pre-fight record, 10 and one.
10 and one, yeah, he lost one fight.
Seven KOs.
Although Tyson has 44 KOs.
He has 44 KOs, Tyson does.
And I mean, he's 30 years older.
How old is Jake?
He's like- 27 to 58.
He's 27 and they're both weighing 225.
There's a huge age difference
and a little bit of a height difference.
My guess is that this is a lot closer
than anybody thinks it's gonna be.
That's my guess because I think what Tyson lacks
in youthful energy and maybe stamina, he's going to make up for it in pound for
pound punching force.
I just don't know if you can, I just don't know if you can train that into somebody.
But here's the thing, is Mike going to get out there and be the Mike Tyson, he's not
going to be the Mike Tyson of 30 years ago, but is he going to get that fire back where
he just hits the shit out of people so quick, so fast?
I mean, I think he wants to show that.
Yeah, don't hold back, Mike.
Okay, I'm talking to Mike.
Mike, don't hold back.
Go in there with a fire in your belly.
I know you get paid a lot of money
regardless of what happens,
but you get paid more if you win.
You need this money.
It's probably gonna do your pigeons a lot of good. You're this money. It's probably going to do your pigeons
a lot of good. You're going to be able to have a whole new pigeon world, like a Disney
world for pigeons. And that's going to make everybody really happy. Maybe you'll even
get that big mansion back that you really like. Well, didn't you have a big mansion
that the guy, that was, and Evander Holyfield. Listen, you need to win this match. The whole
of the United States is relying on you to make us all feel a little bit better.
I don't care who you voted for, everyone needs to feel a little bit better. And if Jake Paul
loses, we're all going to feel better. So just hit him hard, Mike.
What do you think he's getting paid?
I think they're each getting at least $100 million.
Uh, no. So they're saying here it's 40 million. A piece? While Tyson will earn 20 million.
No.
Really?
That's what this one thing is saying.
They have not been officially released though, the fight purses.
How is that not a lot more money?
I don't know.
Wasn't there a fight like five years ago where each of them got, like Pacquiao Jr. and Mayweather?
Didn't Pacquiao and Mayweather fight for like a hundred million dollars a piece?
That was a big one.
Yeah.
I watched that.
I actually paid for that fight because that was one of those events where I was like,
okay, I'm going to see what everyone's getting excited about.
Yeah.
Pacquiao versus Mayweather.
Yeah, here it is. Okay. Pacquiao versus Mayweather.
Let's see. What were the purses? I think if I'm not mistaken, there were $100 million
a piece. There were 4.4 million purchases on the pay per view alone, $410 million in
revenue.
Fight card, fight details.
I don't know why Mike Tyson's less.
Okay.
So the revenue between, okay, here's how it goes.
Ticket sales that were sold within a minute as per the contract, the first $160 million of revenue and any revenue above $180 million from the fight
was split 60-40 between the fighters
with Mayweather receiving 60% share.
Revenue between 160 and 180 was to be split 51-49.
So each, so both fighters were expected to earn
at least $100 million in revenue.
I can't imagine that this fight is less exciting than Floyd Mayo.
I'm going to get a new microphone, Christy.
I know you are.
If we have to have five extra episodes, this microphone is going to go in.
What is going on with this microphone?
And here's the thing, I can't figure out which wire it is.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I'm really pissed because I don't know.
I think it's this or maybe it's this. I'm not really sure. Just sometimes
it decides to put out of me. Anyway, I can't imagine that Pacquiao and Mayweather, while
it's a sanctioned fight, I think, was a sanctioned fight, is any less exciting.
This is a sanctioned fight too.
Any more exciting. It's a sanctioned fight?
Yeah.
I mean, it's sanctioned, but isn't it like an exhibition match?
They're not gonna like it has nothing to do with like I don't think Jake is actually
Like a professional fighter. I think he's an exhibition and as a professional match. Oh it has yeah. Well, then there you go
What do I know? All right. Okay. Well the 15th this super exciting. Going into it, let's all root for these.
I'm so glad I did some research.
I'm so glad you did some research too.
20 million and 40 million,
these guys are getting terribly underpaid, terribly.
And I'm saying that as a guy who makes like $10 an hour.
I mean, I'm being serious.
You think I'm joking.
All right, we'll be back.
In a shocking turn of events, it's me again, Christina, your producer and resident romcom
lover here at The Commercial Break.
And I just have one thing to say.
I'm just a producer standing in front of an audience asking you to follow us on Instagram,
at The Commercial Break and on TikTok, at TCB Podcast.
Text us or call us and leave us a voicemail because when you realize you want to spend the rest
of your life with TCB, you want the rest of your life
to start as soon as possible.
And while you're at it, go to our website,
tcbpodcast.com, but you don't have to
because we like you just as you are.
Now, if you immediately got those references,
you're my kind of person, but it's time to take a break
and listen to some sponsors,
and then we'll get back to the show.
Okay, here's what I just read, which I think kind of helps me understand what I was thinking.
There are a hundred different boxing bodies, and professional fights can be sanctioned
by a bunch of different bodies.
But is Jake Paul going to fight whoever for the, you know, world
championship belt? No, he's not because he has not been sanctioned. And I think that's
part of, like, he, I don't want to say he's just an exhibitionist, but a lot of these
fights while they're professionally sanctioned are not for like points or whatever, however
that goes. Anyway, there you go. Brian figured it all out in 30 seconds.
I'm glad that you figured out for what you were thinking.
Well, now I'm excited, except dad, get Netflix, please.
Stop being so cheap and pay for Netflix.
He's always asking me, oh, what was that show
you were watching on Amazon Prime?
And I was like, oh yeah, dad, I was watching whatever,
you know, Worlds of the Rule, whatever.
I was like, I don't know, what's that log in again? I'm like, dad, I was watching whatever, you know, Worlds of the Rule, whatever. I was like, ah, ah, what's that log in again?
I'm like, dad.
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding kind of.
But you know, I understand when you're, you know,
when you're of a certain age and you're,
listen, I say my dad's on a fixed income,
I don't think he's hurting.
I don't think so.
Yeah, my dad ponied up for all the stuff.
Your dad ponied up for all the stuff?
Look at your dad.
Look at your dad.
Go dad.
Does your dad like splurge on vacation?
Does he go on vacation and you're like, you know, ah, let's go to the steakhouse and have
a dinner?
No, he's not a splurger per se.
But they have started doing some traveling and I like the direction that they're going
in. Yeah, I think my dad has never been a splurger. That's never been in his person. Your dad and
my dad are very much like, no, it's not in their DNA because their dads went to World War II and
at any moment economic collapse was right around the corner. So they were always saving and nickel
and diming it. But my dad and your parents to some degree, they really had to be extra careful
because they had a lot of children, right?
Anything over one is a lot of children,
just letting you know.
Anything over one child is a lot of children.
And they are fucking expensive.
You know how many conversations Astrid and I have
about financial stress because,
directly because we're paying for something for the children
that we just have to feel like we have to sacrifice for?
It's insane. So my dad has never been a splurger, but I'm like, at this age, I'm like,
Dad, you've done well for yourself. Go for it. Buy me a steak dinner every once in a while. Take
me on vacation. Do something nice for me. And then my dad will always say, every Thanksgiving, same
speech, right? Who wants the coin set from your great-grandfather in the will?
You talk amongst yourself and then figure out who wants the plates from the
house in the will? You talk about it amongst yourselves. Everything will be
sweat up evenly, but if you want something let us know blah blah blah. But
our whole goal is to leave one dollar in the bank account when we die. You know,
like they have no intention of leaving anything for us.
They just want to spend it all,
to which some of my brothers are really upset.
And I'm like, quite frankly, I'm the prodigal son.
I never expected anything anyway.
I'm like Judas coming back home.
So I'm like, fuck it.
I don't care.
Whatever.
Yeah, I don't care.
Well, my dad says stuff, you know,
I'm sure a lot of kids have had this conversation,
like adult children have had this conversation with their parents, you know, what do you
want in the will, or I'm going to give this to you when I pass, or if you want that, make
sure you get it like that.
And I always am like, I don't give a shit.
Like honestly,
Whatever you think.
Yeah.
What could you give me that I really want?
Like a 10-foot portrait of myself.
I know.
You know what I'm saying?
I am ready to purge. a 10-foot portrait of myself. I can tell. You know what I'm saying?
I am ready to purge.
Yeah. And so, but at this age, I'm like, hey, dad, you should, you know, guys go out and
have a little bit of fun. Like their idea of a cool vacation is like driving to Iowa.
Well, you just said they did this cross country trip.
They did this like, not cross country trip, but like this midwest.
Half cross. Yeah. They went and saw like train cross country trip, but like this midwest. Half cross.
Yeah, they went and saw like train stations
and like, you know, the world's biggest ball of wax
and shit like that, which fine, that's cool.
Yeah, whatever you're into.
Like honestly, I would, if I retire,
road trips sound cool to me.
I have this dream, my dad,
what is your favorite vacation ever as a child?
Oh gosh, well, my parents had a lot of kids too,
so we didn't go on a ton of like,
extravagant vacations or any really.
No, we didn't either.
Disney World a number of times, yeah.
Florida Gulf Shores, something like that.
Disney World a number of times,
but when Disney, like a day at Disney was $26, right?
Which would have been the equivalent today of like $50.
So it wasn't like, you know, it wasn't $700 just to get in the door and then another $700 to buy all
the shit. So the one vacation that I remember as a child, so excited about, like I can still
remember it to this day, it's one of my favorite memories, is my dad told us one summer, I think I
was 15 years old. And my dad, for months, I would walk into that office, right? Where my dad told us one summer, I think I was 15 years old, and my dad, for months,
I would walk into that office, right, where my dad was sitting behind his desk commanding
the universe.
You know, that I usually…
I can picture it.
Yeah.
I usually went in there when I was in trouble.
But sometimes if I walked by, I would see my dad like plotting a map, like an actual
map, like a book of map.
But this is before the internet, or before the internet was widely available.
Of course, my dad had the internet the moment that the internet was available.
But he's got this big map book and he's like, you know, drawing lines and, you know, plotting
destinations and stuff, until he tells us one day at dinner, this summer, we are going
on a cross country trip. 20 days.
So funny, because I just watched vacationation, the original Vacation over the weekend.
That was it.
That's what we did in the family truckster, which was a conversion van.
Do you remember conversion vans?
Big old vans and on the inside, they were like luxury cruise liners that for some reason,
I mean, not for some reason, we had four children, but the back bench would turn into a bed.
It had four captain's chairs, and captain's chairs are like individual seats that like
turn and twist and lay down and go up.
Two in the front, two in the middle, and then you could put a table, like you could stand
a table in the middle of it.
It had a television, which got no channels whatsoever, but how cool was that?
Right?
A television that didn't turn on, but cool.
Yeah.
And all the accoutrements that you could, that every, you know,
I don't know, cup holders, cool shit, right?
And my dad said, we're going on a trip.
It's going to be about a month.
We're going to go 10, 12 days out, 10, 12 days back.
You know, we're going to stop every night in a different town.
That was ambitious.
Chrissy, it not only was it ambitious, it was so much fucking fun.
I mean, it really was.
I look back on it now.
It was so fun.
I brought my CD, Walkman.
I had the CDs.
I remember I was listening to like, what did I have?
Soundgarden, Bad Motor Finger, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Guns N' Roses.
I just was like listening to it.
Some people in the car felt that my feet did not smell good,
but that was because my Doc Martens had not, were used.
Poor boys, oh God, I can only imagine.
And we had so much fun and we stopped at the most random
of places to come carry New Mexico outside Little Rock, Arkansas
Someplace in West Texas. Yeah, I would be into it Phoenix, Arizona in
July on like July 28th like the world's hottest place
And then we drove up through California and then came back around north to stop in Chicago where we were from
to say hello to everybody and come back down to Atlanta. Chris, we drove through the Dakotas,
we went to the Grand Canyon. It was the funnest thing ever. And so, one of my dreams as a father
is to do this same thing for my children. Now, you know, I hope the earth is still around
so that I can do that.
There's something to show.
Yeah, but when I retire, I don't wanna drive anywhere.
I wanna get on a plane and I wanna go
to some far flung exotic location and sit on a beach
and drink fucking Coultenies or whatever it is.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Meet me at Tangs.
Meet me at Tangs, indeed, Chrissy.
I do not wanna get in a car and drive 33 hours
to see the world's biggest ball of wax.
It's just not interesting to me.
That's not how I envisioned my retirement.
A cruise ship, an airplane first class,
I don't know, a flying Tesla, something like that. Like I want to
do something-
Space resort.
Space resort, probably the only inhabitable place by the time I retire, which is in like three
years, by the way. I have zero interest in getting in the car during a cross country trip when I'm
retired. And so I just, you know, sometimes I want to poke my dad and say, dad, you got to go spend
a little of that jingle jangle, get yourself on a first class virgin flight to like, you know, sometimes I want to poke my dad and say, Dad, you got to go spend a little of that jingle jangle.
Get yourself on a first class virgin flight to like, you know, I don't know,
not any place terribly exciting.
Go to London, go to Dublin, go to Tahiti, Hawaii.
Get out there.
That's not his thing.
It's not his thing.
You just won't do it.
I just don't think it's in his, I don't think it's in His data bank.
You know what I'm saying?
To think about spending that kind of money on Himself, I just don't think it's in His
data bank.
So, to which some of my brothers say, thank God, maybe there will be some money left in
the will, and to which I say, who fucking cares?
I mean, honestly, who cares?
Not my money anyway.
That's how I feel about a will.
Enjoy it.
That's how I feel about it.
How do you feel about a will?
I feel about a will, it's not my money anyway.
Who cares?
Yeah, no, I say it's up to you.
Whatever you think.
Chrissy, that is an opinion we can all agree on.
Thank you for that.
Thank you for that pearl of wisdom.
Pearl.
Oh, pearl.
Yeah, who am I? Thank you for that pearl of wisdom. Pearl. Oh, pearl.
Yeah, who am I to say what to do with the money that you made?
I don't know.
Some people feel strongly one way or the other.
They feel that children should get nothing.
They should do it on their own.
And some people that I know wholly reject the idea of getting anything and like getting anything inherited
Ah like that that's just part of the problem in the world is that a lot of rich people they just keep passing down their money
Yeah, I'll take it more. I I accept hey listen. I accept, but I don't expect you know what I'm saying
Yeah, that's what it is
And if I was like I might feel differently if my father was a billionaire. If he was a billionaire, I might feel strongly that no,
I don't want any of your money, give it away.
Or can you give me a billion,
because I think that'll do it.
The Home Depot guy is doing that, or he just died,
you know, one of the founders of Home Depot,
and within 20 years, everything has to be spent.
His children have to spend all that money in 20 years?
Yeah.
I could do that.
The family and the board. Yeah. I could do that.
The family and the board.
Yeah, but what do you, I mean, if you give it to your kids and they have to spend it
in 20 years, it's not a hard thing to do.
Just buy a bunch of stuff.
Well, through the foundation.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
Is that the guy who built the aquarium?
Bernie Marcus?
Yes.
It is?
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Well, he built that aquarium.
He's done a lot of good.
To which I say, thanks. I love that aquarium. Yeah. It's built that aquarium. He's done a lot of good. To which I say, thanks.
I love that aquarium.
Yeah.
It's a great aquarium.
Really?
No doubt it's in a great aquarium.
And what else did he do for us?
Oh, tons of stuff.
You'll have to look it up.
You look it up.
I did.
I read.
I don't have that kind of time.
I don't have that kind of time.
I've got to catch up on 90 Day Fiance.
Me too.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Settle down. All right. Hey, let us know what your relationship red flags are.
We're going to talk about it next week and I'd love to hear from you.

It's really not that big of a deal.
I just got to figure out 75 different thousand wires and get a Twitch account.
How's I'm looking at all the wires?
Yes.
I have to figure out how to log into Twitch.
Those wires are terrible.
Look at that.
