I am noted podiatrist and phlebotomist, and this is my show, What Happened to Your Foot. However, tonight we are going to take a little bit of a detour away from your beautiful feet
Starting point is 00:01:51 to spend an hour discussing a very hot topic, indeed, masks. Should we wear them? Should we not wear? Do they make us safer or less safe? Did our forefathers write in the Constitution that we had the protection against surgical mask tyranny? And what is that smell when I put on the mask? So many bad breaths out there. I'm going to try and navigate through that, if you will.
Starting point is 00:02:15 So many more important questions we were answered. But first, let me introduce my guests. We have two opposing viewpoints from people on the street. Our goal tonight is to have very calm, rational conversation around masks and the practice of wearing them or not wearing them if you choose. Our first guest is Karen Moskowitz, an essential oil salesperson and an internet activist. Karen believes that we are suffering from mass mind control by being asked and then forced to wear masks.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Karen, what say you? What's wrong with your foot and what do you think about the masks? What I want to say is we the people will work day and night. tonight to clean every single seat if need be. We will get together and do a citizen's arrest on every single human being that goes against the freedom of choice. Okay. You cannot mandate, you literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask knowing that that mask is killing people. It literally is killing people. And my, the people, we the people, are waking up and we know what citizens arrest is because citizens arrest are already happening okay and every single one of you
Starting point is 00:03:33 that are obeying the devil's laws are going to be arrested and you doctor are going to be arrested for crimes against humanity every single one of you have a smirk behind that little mask but every single one of you are going to get punished by God okay six feet like I said before is military protocol you're trying to get the people to train them So when the cameras, the 5G comes out, what? They're going to scan everybody. We got to get scanned. We got to get temperatureed.
Starting point is 00:04:05 The kids have to go to school with masks. Are you insane? Are you crazy? I think all of you should be in a psych ward right the heck now. Because none of you, none of you know what the hell you are all talking about. Karen, this is a very well thought out position and I appreciate your point of view. Let's take quick commercial break and we allow everything. Everyone to take their medicine will be right back after these words.
Starting point is 00:04:40 On this episode of the commercial break. Or I say you put the pictures of everybody up on the wall. Yeah. And you don't tell them whose voice goes with what you picture. Ooh, that's good. But you put a number on there and you get, and you can, if you, if you choose to guess, You choose to guess, like if you put numbers. You at least got an idea.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yes, you have an idea. This is one of these people, right? One of these 10 people is talking to me right now, and I'm really attracted to her. And you can only go on that vacation and get married. If you're both, picks the right number, with the right voice, and you guys fall in love. That's it. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah, Cass and Kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Haudley. Best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. In case you didn't get us last time, I will quickly and briefly review what we discussed about the commercial break. After 850-odd episodes of the commercial break, big changes are coming to TCB, starting next week or the week after that. You'll have to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break to tune in to all of the finer details.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Chrissy and I will start broadcasting all of the recordings that we do here, except for the interviews. We will still be doing those in private, in secret. I don't know how the celebrities would react to actually having 10 people watching them. On Twitch, on YouTube, maybe on Instagram and TikTok, you can follow us at the commercial break, and we will let you know. And also, I guess from like the way in which we. we do the show will be a little bit more methodical than it is right now, we will be breaking, which is nothing, yeah, anything would be more methodical than the way we do the show
Starting point is 00:06:36 right now. We might have different days that are different themes or topics. Thematically, the show is going to change. So just hang on tight. Instead of doing 10 random thoughts in an episode or sometimes 20, we might just be doing one, or maybe two. I don't know how we're going to do it. We might throw that in the trash as soon as we start. But we're going to, but we're going to going to do our best. So stay tuned. A little handbone and hodley thrown in there. That's right. Handbone and hodley. Possibly a little true crime. Maybe some bad reviews. We'll talk about her. Bad reviews. Dating. We're going to get into theming out the show. And then at some point we may gate some of the days that we do. And what I
Starting point is 00:07:16 mean by gait is make it paid content. That's just to help support what we do here at the show. And if you can afford it, great. And if you can't, we'll work it out. Don't worry. There'll still be free stuff. There'll still be free stuff. Lots of free stuff. We're not going to going anywhere freewise. You can still have the show with ads and all that good stuff. Okay. All right. But starting today, let's see if we can make our way through talking about one topic and one topic only, and that is the television shows that we are currently watching. And if my hands look like I've dipped them in red ink, it's... You've got dye.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I got dye all over my hands. Food coloring, actually, is what it is. So anyway, I'm not going to go down that road. We're talking about television shows. I just wanted to warn anybody that's watching on YouTube. You know, my hands aren't bloody. They're just full of red ink. I have been watching The Diplomat. We were just, yes, talking about that. I blew through it.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Jeff and I blew through it. I'm ripping through it. The third season is so good. God, it's such a great show. I mean, I can't say enough good things about it. It is. There are episodes that I think move along quicker than others. I think some feel a little bit filly to me, like they're filling some a little bit of time.
Starting point is 00:08:24 But I will say with only six, seven or eight, episodes per season. You know, I was thinking about this last night in the shower as I was watching one of the episodes. I was thinking, it used to be like when I watched the West Wing, there are 22 episodes per season. That's what a season was. And that's 22 hours of a particular season. And man, are there so many great episodes in a 22 season, especially the first four of the West Wing? But there certainly are filler episodes too. I just wish there wasn't the filler episodes with the season that's only six episodes. But the diplomat is fantastic. It, Carrie Russell is amazing. And I love her husband, too. He is so good. Yeah, he is so good. Alice and Janney is in it now.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Alice and Janney is from the West Wing. She played C.J. Craig on the West Wing, the press secretary. Yeah. Let me ask you this, because I don't see it. Bradley Whitford, who was also a main star, if not the main star in the West Wing, made one appearance for. three minutes on one episode in season five, like the last episode of season five. Okay. But I haven't seen him back. Oh, you'll see him. He comes back? Yeah, yeah. Bradley Woodford comes back.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Okay, good. I was like, is that just a nod to what? A lot of people are comparing the diplomat to the West Wing. Sure. I don't think they're anything alike, if I'm being honest. But now Allison Janie is the president at this point. You'll go through, I hope I didn't blow anything for you. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Well, you learn that if you watched the last season. Yeah, if you watch season two, then you know that Allison Janney became president by default. But she is so good in this role, so good in this role. Everybody is so good in their respective roles in this television show. I don't think it's anything like the West Wing. Yeah, no, I don't see that either. I mean, there's some similarities. And, of course, now we've got some of the actors from that show.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, now we've got some crossover with actors. But I think this is way more dramatic and unrealistic scenarios. I'm not saying they couldn't happen. I'm saying they likely wouldn't happen. Like, the West Wing seemed very rooted in some kind of reality, except for a couple of different episodes where things just they ratcheted up the drama by making things extra dramatic. But I think this is a fun show to watch in the sense that it's not always grounded in super reality.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I love it. I think Carrie Russell deserves an Emmy for this role. Oh, me too. She does a great job. She and Alice and Janie were on Andy Cohen show. Watch What Happens Live. Oh, they were. Yeah, I'll send you the episode.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Okay, please. They were great all there together. Please, send that to me. And I love Carrie. Carrie Russell is so beautiful, in my opinion. She is just a gorgeous woman. But she is one of the best actresses of our time, I'm sure of it. As is Alice and Janie.
Starting point is 00:11:17 And she's already, yeah, she's won a bunch of stuff. Emmys and she won an Oscars? I don't know. She was in something that she was nominated for an Oscar. If you're not watching the diplomat, you're really missing out on a lot of good politically, like government drama kind of thing. If that's your thing, action, spies, you know, malfeasance, crazy, kooky characters, high in government offices, then this is the show for you. It's also an international show. So they're moving all over the world and doing this and doing that. Yeah, which is fun to see. And that's on Netflix. Yeah. The West Wing was.
Starting point is 00:11:51 stuck in the West Wing for the most part on every episode. At least I would call the East Wing. Yeah, that's true. The East Wing no longer there. I was, I'm watching the West Wing also again for like the 55th time. Yeah, you've definitely watched it. Yeah. Oh, I've watched so many. I mean, I can, some of these episodes I've memorized at this point, but every time I seem to pick out something new when I'm watching it, and I love it in that sense. And the theme song, it's almost worth watching an episode of the West Wing just for the theme song. It makes you long for the days when government was we thought might be working
Starting point is 00:12:24 on behalf of the people but I was trying to think if they did any shots from the east wing and they did on occasion do some stuff from the east wing mainly when it came to Mrs. Bartlett or
Starting point is 00:12:36 you know the president's wife the first lady so it's a great show the diplomat I'm all about it tune in yes all right let's talk a little bit about something that you turned me on to
Starting point is 00:12:49 And that's, what is it, the chair? The chair company? The chair company. Wow. So I've seen two episodes and a half. Okay. So. And there's four out now.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah. And this is on HBO. Oh, wait. Just wait. Just wait. It is wild. It is. It's bizarre.
Starting point is 00:13:08 It's funny. It's Tim Robinson. Mm-hmm. Right? That's his name. And he is. He plays just such a great character. I don't know how to describe.
Starting point is 00:13:19 He is a paranoid, weird, kooky, nuanced, or un-n nuanced. Give us the premise again. The premise is this. It's pretty simple, actually. Tim Robinson plays a husband and a worker at a company that builds malls. Builds and refurbishes malls. And now they're building a new mall in town. And he has been assigned like the head of that project, right? So he's got a big job. He's got a big promotion. He's got a big job. he's got a big job. The very first episode, we kind of see him go through this promotion. He's giving his first big speech. We already can see from the first, like from the first scene. He's a kooky character. He's Tim Robinson.
Starting point is 00:14:02 All of the hijinks that come with Tim are still there. But it's a much more serious, the way it's shot, kind of dimly lit and with the overtones of the musicality of the show, it feels like a drama. But it's Tim being Tim, so it's hilarious at the same time. The only thing that I could liken it to would maybe be Barry, like the show Barry. Yeah, I could kind of see that, right? The characters weren't as, they were crazy in Barry, but it wasn't as wild of a show. Yeah, it wasn't as kooky of a show. So Tim.
Starting point is 00:14:35 It's almost like the office. Kind of, yeah, there's a little office in there. There's a sprinkling of the office. It's hard to describe, really. I know, it is. Yeah, it's, there are other things that are like it, but this is Tim. So the thing is, is that he falls. He gives a little speech up in front of the whole company.
Starting point is 00:14:52 The president of the company's there, the CEO. He introduces Tim. Tim gives like a two-minute speech about the new mall and heading up the project and how he's grateful. He's very nervous about this speech. And then he goes and he goes to sit down in a chair and the chair breaks when he sits. Embarrassing moment for him, for sure. And everyone laughs at him or he thinks everybody's laughing at him. And people are helping him up.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And, you know, okay, an incidental situation that happened. and that most of us would go, that was embarrassing, but it's not the end of the world. And it wasn't my fault. It was the chair's fault, right? I mean, the chair broke. Well, Tim gets super paranoid about this chair breaking. He thinks that he's been targeted, that this is a conspiracy, that people in the office maybe did it. And then it just gets fucking wacky.
Starting point is 00:15:40 He looks up the chair company and, yeah. He gets obsessed. He does. Yeah, he gets obsessed, but then he might be right because someone's following him around. telling him to stop calling the chair company, stop looking up the chair company, blah, blah, blah. So now he's got reason to be paranoid, and man, does it go balloony-toony from there? There's a little person involved in the closet? I don't know. There's like a private eye. Yeah, there's like a gangster. There's a guy's hiding in the closet.
Starting point is 00:16:09 There's now, I mean, I don't even want to give it away because I wanted to unfold. It goes to a really crazy place this last episode that came out. I mean, like, and the show does this good balance of making Tim look just as crazy as he's acting and wondering whether there's actually something there. Like, did the chair company do something? Who is the chair company? Who is the chair company? He goes to this warehouse and it's empty.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It wears the chair company, yeah. They're supposed to be here, but they're not tech a chair company. It's great. Every bit of it is great. Detroiters is another show. that Tim did with... Okay. I can't remember the name.
Starting point is 00:16:51 He was an advert... They were advertising executives. Like, local advertising executives. Uh-huh. Doing creative. I want to go back and watch that. You got to watch Detroiters. Because Detroiters quickly rose up the top of my list once I started watching it.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Every episode is fucking hilarious. It is wild. It is outrageous. The... I need to name this actor because he's really good. Where can we watch Detroiters? I think on HBO. I think on HBO.
Starting point is 00:17:18 HBO Max, or is it Netflix? It's Netflix. I'm sorry. Watch it on Netflix. The cast is Sam Richardson. Sam Richardson, I think, was on S&L for a couple of seasons, I believe. Was he on SNL? Or maybe not. Maybe he wasn't.
Starting point is 00:17:39 He was on Veep. He's been in Ted Lasso. He was in After Party, which is a show that a lot of like an indie show that a lot of people loved. So these two get up to a bunch of craziness in Detroiters. And this show, there's like four seasons, three seasons. It's great. Every episode is great.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I wish it had continued. They tried to get someone else to bite off on it. It was on Comedy Central. But Tim, this is like the evolution of Tim Robinson's, like, kind of dark, weird, crazy, paranoid comedy. And I just love everything about it. And I'm so glad that they're doing this show. and I hope it gets the accolades that it deserves. Because if you like kind of that weird, like just crazy comedy.
Starting point is 00:18:25 If you like crazy comedy, you'll be up for this. But there's a through line there. The best kind of crazy comedy is where there's enough touching the ground that it seems like a little bit realistic. And they do a great job of this. I don't know who the directors and writers are. I'm sure Tim, yeah, they're doing a great job of moving in and out of this weird world that Tim's creating around a fucking chairbreaking.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I mean, it's insane. And that's when Tim is best, is taking one simple, idiotic, life thing, incident, situation, item, and just going ham on it. And he is going ham, apparently, for seven episodes on a chair. So it's great. You're going to love it. I highly recommend you tune it in. So we love the diplomat. We'd love the chair company.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Be tuning in. I also have to say that I just finished the latest season of slow horses, Slough House. Okay, yeah, Jeff and I were waiting until it was all done. It's all done. Okay. It's all done. You can watch it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:26 You can watch it, and they actually have a preview at the end of the season. They have a preview for the next season. Okay, good. So that's already in the can, right? I love that show. We love it. I just am all about Slough House. I love Slough House.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Listen, it's getting a little ridiculous that Slough House. that Slauhaus seems to save the day every time. Like the worst. Yes. The whole premise of Slau House is that when you are in the British Secret Service, MI5, and you fuck up, but they don't want to quite get rid of you, you go to Slau House where the slow horses are. And it's this rundown, beat up shack in the middle of London.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman is heading this whole. Uh-huh. And he's perfect. He's perfect. He's a dirty, disgusting cigarette smoking, drinking. smelly, farty guy who just hates everybody and hates the world.
Starting point is 00:20:17 But he seems... He seems to save the day every time. Yes. So what he's got is essentially a bunch of outcasts that are really the best agents in MI5 living a futile existence in this terrible place. But it's like purgatory for MI5 agents. But apparently they're all the best in the world
Starting point is 00:20:36 because they always seem to save the day. They're in the middle of it every time. So it's getting a little ridiculous in that sense. But if you can suspend belief, if you can suspend disbelief for just a moment, then I think that Slow Horses, Slough House, is one of the best television shows that Apple is betting on. Yeah. We're on season four and now, see, we know season five is coming. I love it.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Keep it coming all day long. As long as Gary Oldman's willing to be old and cranky, let it keep going. Oh, he carries it. I mean, yeah, you've got to have him. Yeah, I wonder where Gary Oldman and him, his character, start and stop. I know. He just seems like a job where he can walk in, act miserable, smoke cigarettes and pretend to drink booze.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Yeah, yeah. It's amazing. And the one thing I will note is in this season, like he's got kind of a handler, a secretary that looks over him. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. And she is, she's not letting him smoke this season. So he does get a couple of cigarettes in here or there, but she's like right from the first episode.
Starting point is 00:21:39 She's like, you've got to put that out. The doctor said not to smoke. But I'm like, I want my Gary Oldman smoking all the time. I don't give a shit. I like smoking in television of movies. I like, you know, listen, anybody that tells you that smoking ain't fun is lying to you. Smoking is fun, but it will kill you. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:21:57 It will kill you. You shouldn't smoke. No one should smoke. It does look good in film. It looks good. Great. It's so cool. It's so cool.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Smoking looks so cool. But it smells bad. It stains your fingers. It makes life miserable. and eventually you start wheezing. And when you start wheezing, you should let it out. And, of course, I've got my lineup of TLC shows. Well, I was going to say that this isn't TLC, but have you dipped your toe in the Love is Blind?
Starting point is 00:22:23 No. No. No. New season. Yeah. I might be done. Yeah, we were not jazzed by the last season. It was okay.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I think I might be done after this one. Yeah. I think it's run its course, if I'm being honest. It was a great COVID experiment that everyone, it was shocking that we could, they could do this. But now everybody who's in on Love is Blind wants to be on TV. Wants to be on TV. It's got into the, it's got, it's one of those reality shows, like all reality shows. They jumped the shark. They are eventually, they're eventually like parodies of themselves essentially. And I think Love is Blind did
Starting point is 00:23:00 that about three seasons ago, but this last season, one season ago, it was clear to me that none of these people, I think, were really in it for love. I think they're in it for fame. Yeah, and this season, they do a big reunion at the end. And, I mean, I was just cursing myself. Like, why am I even watching this? It was just so dumb. It was.
Starting point is 00:23:22 And all of the stuff that comes out. Yeah. And, I mean, yeah, I won't, if you're not going to watch it, I'll tell you. I'm not going to watch it. Nobody gets married. Nobody? No one. Not one?
Starting point is 00:23:32 No. Wow, that's a new record for Love is Blind. Because they know that it's a ridiculous premise. People can fall in love instantaneously and get married. Listen, Asard and I got married in a year. Like, I mean, we did. We got married a year after meeting each other. And 10 years, 11 years later, we're still together. So I'm not judging how faster, how slow someone gets married or whatever it is. But, you know, is love really blind? I think most of the time, not. And I think that's proven time and time. I like the premise of it, but there does also have to be that chemistry in person. It's got to be there. It's got to be there. In order to have sex with the person.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yes. You live with the person. Yes. Together have children with the person. Yes. And how can you spend 10 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours in a compartment not looking at somebody and fall in love with them? Okay, I get it. There's some energy building up between the two.
Starting point is 00:24:28 You know you're not getting to the next step unless you get engaged. So there's incentive already. If you want to be famous, if you want to be on television, if you want to go on vacation, if you want this ride to continue, you've got to get engaged. So it's highly incentivized on the wrong things, not the right things. The first season, we didn't know that. So, okay, no one knew that. The second season, maybe some people didn't know it. The third season, but the third season ends up having one of the best love stories of them all.
Starting point is 00:24:56 And that is the love story where, you know, the song plays at the end. If you ran it, what was that? If you want to bring it up on dance Just dance You remember he falls in love with somebody It quickly becomes He falls in love with two women He dumps one of them
Starting point is 00:25:18 He picks the one that's clearly not the right choice We all were yelling at the screen They go two days later They're like this isn't working It's not for us And he comes crawling back to the original woman In her hometown And it's the best love story
Starting point is 00:25:31 And now they are married with children They have married and they have kids So I will say that it just goes to show like this experiment is a little bit broken in the sense that it incentivizes the wrong things right the right thing is yes the personality matches and all that values and yeah religions and whatever all the things learn that after you fuck them because that's how most of us do it make sure your dick fits in the right hole first you know what I'm saying that's the that's just basic human anatomy I'm not trying to rabble rouse I'm just being honest it
Starting point is 00:26:05 it will not work if you're not attracted to that person. Yeah, maybe they don't need to make it with a marriage. Maybe they could somehow change it to where it's like you just, you move in together. Yes. That's where things go wrong. Yes. If we're being on it. Or I say you put the pictures of everybody up on the wall.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yeah. And you don't tell them whose voice goes with what you picture. Oh, that's good. But you put a number on there and you get and you can, if you choose to guess, you choose to guess. Yeah. You've at least got an idea. Yes, you have an idea. This is one of these people, right?
Starting point is 00:26:39 One of these 10 people is talking to me right now, and I'm really attracted to her. And you can only go on that vacation and get married. If you're both picks the right number, with the right voice, and you guys fall in love. That's it. And then it's like a game show, right? I think they need to make it. Where's just Nick and Jess, Nick and whatever, Vanessa? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Yeah, we need to get that. Of course, they show up for two minutes every season. I know. I thought, you know, I thought they were executive producers. They are not. Really? They're just the hosts. Yeah, they're just, they get paid like $12,000 a season.
Starting point is 00:27:16 They've got to have some part of it now. There's got to be something. Yeah. There's got to be something to pay them to go ask dumb questions at the end of the season. I mean, it has been a huge hit. But I think it's jumped the sharp. I think so, too. I was like, okay, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I'm not biting on season. What is it? Season seven now? Six? Seven? Something like that? I'm not biting on season six or seven. And forget about all the other cultures, you know, Sweden, UK.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I tried to watch UK. That's just a- Yeah, I tried to watch the UK one too, and I didn't like it either. Yeah. And now married at first sight, which is different but similar, which I think there's a better chance of those people getting along, right? Because at least you see them when you're walking down the eye. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah. And they have like experts that help you along and coach you and all this other stuff. And the experts match you guys together. Yes. So there's some, they have a better hitting rate, the hitting average, I think, batting average. I don't think they're actually broadcasting that on the television anymore. I think you've got to go to Paramount Plus or Lifetime or whatever it is. But anyway, the married at first sight, Australia is the best of the bunch because everybody wants to be famous.
Starting point is 00:28:22 They know they're there to be famous and they don't give a shit. They just rabble rouse and cause trouble, and that's fine with me. If we're going to deal with what we're going to deal with, let us deal with it. That's it. All right. But still, TLC, still hitting home runs with some of the programming. Okay. Married at first sight, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Married at first sight, the other way, is a little interesting this year. But married at first sight with the same five fucking people, you know, as everyone's, whatever, I don't care anymore. But there are a couple of shows, seven little Johnstons out loud, bailin out loud, which is the girl who has extreme Tourette's syndrome. That show's pretty fun and funny to watch, but seeking sister wives. is still. Really? Still up there. Yes, because the same idiots are back and new idiots are there and everyone's trying to fuck everybody else.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Really? Yes, I wanted you to watch a little bit of it with me and tell me what you think. So let's do that. We'll take a break. Okay. And we'll watch some of the most recent season. Cody's still there. No, that is sister wives.
Starting point is 00:29:22 That's a whole different show. No, all those people are divorced, by the way. Not one sister wife left. Not one. I mean, there's one. I was confused. Yeah, but the other four, five, ten, whatever they were. They all left.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Now they're all dating. Now they're all on Tinder. They're Tinder people now. I don't know. Only fans. Yeah, it's a whole different show now. Now it's like single sister wives, I guess. Seeking single sister life.

So, you know, you guys have been part of our journey as we've been growing our family. This guy's name is free. And we are going to continue growing it. But this time, not with a baby. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Well, the family, he's saying this to the family. Yeah, it's his read. Reed's talking to his family. He's letting everyone know that he's going to grow without his family. Tell me what you think about Reed. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to make assumptions based on someone's affectation, but it might or might not sound like Reed is playing for both teams.
Starting point is 00:32:21 You know what I'm saying? We're actually seeking a sister wife. The family can't even. Huh? They can't even. Oh, this is going to get juicy. Oh, my God. Okay, here you go.
Starting point is 00:32:41 So we got the chickens today, huh? Yeah, it was cold. Hey, Pachua. Where's your other sister wife? She's over there. Oh. Oh, so sweet. Look at a little rooster over there.
Starting point is 00:32:53 First of all, you got to know that Reed, they are in a, Rather a small house somewhere, probably rural. That's fine. Whatever. They have five chickens inside the house. Inside the house in the kitchen around their small children. Bird flu, dude. What are they feeding it, too?
Starting point is 00:33:11 What's that? What are they feeding that? Was that an orange? Tomato? I don't know. I didn't know what chickens ate tomatoes. I'm Billy Jean. And we're the Williamson's.
Starting point is 00:33:21 What's the best? I have never been so excited about saying my name. And we're the Williamson's. What's the baby's doing? Okay, so they've got two. Are they twins? Yeah, they're twins. I mean, they're young.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yeah, they're really young. Nine months, ten months old. We live in New Ross, Indiana. We are a little bit country. A little bit rock and roll. We've got two kids, two dogs. We've got three cats, chickens. Hello, my loveys.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And we are seeking a sister-wise. Oh, Sister-wise. Why is he doing jazz hands every time he talks? I don't know. He is doing jazz hands. What's going on? And what an enticing situation that they've fostered in order to entice someone to come over and be your sister-wise? Yeah. Screening, Bays, chickens, cats.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Yes. Tiny place, Indiana. Oh, shoot. Well, the chickens. now on the counter. Oh, yeah. I can't even. No.
Starting point is 00:34:30 She's like, I've got an egg to come out, and I need a place to lay it. Yeah, but your kitchen counter sounds like a good place to lay an egg around your 10-month-old child. I love my chickens. I know. I love that for you. Oh, my God. Do you guys want some eggs?
Starting point is 00:34:52 They're feeding eggs to the chickens. What? Oh, this is all wrong. It's just wrong. I know you'll eat it. Oh, my God. We've been together for seven years. Did the chicken lay the egg and then she fed it?
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah, then she boiled it and then she fed it the shell. I guess the shell. Okay, all right. I didn't know chickens ate chicken shells. Tomatoes and shells. Tomatoes and shells. And married for four. But we've known each other for over 20 years.
Starting point is 00:35:21 We met. We were in middle school. We were both in show choir together. And I was like the star of the show. And she was on stage crew. So she was stage crew. She actually was the one that helped me like get into my outfit. So she was already undressing me a long time before we knew it.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Oh. I've almost never been so sure about something in my entire life, Chrissy. I read an article about this other day though. And it was, it was about a gay man. his best friend, a woman, and they got married and they were having a baby. And it was like a thing. This happens. One of the most controversial... But they both knew. Yeah. One of the most controversial shows that has ever aired on TLC was, my husband is gay. And it was about Mormons who lived in Utah, whose husbands were gay, but because they didn't believe in homosexuality,
Starting point is 00:36:20 they married women who knew they were gay. And then the guys, then there were a bunch of them, right? A bunch of guys. that this was well known in the community. They would go on retreats. They would go on camping trips and have book club and have drinking nights. They would hang out together.
Starting point is 00:36:38 That's it. That's all I'm going to say. Each to the road. Yeah, it was so controversial that it only ran for two episodes and they pulled it off air. And you can't find it anyway. DLC does that with shows.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Yeah, sometimes they bury it. Well, because when you're going this far off the radar, you're about to have a, you're going to have a fuck up somewhere. Yes. Oh no, he's pacifier fell. I got to get a new one.
Starting point is 00:37:01 The idea for our polygamy family came from me. We had to do IVF because I can't use my own eggs to form an embryo. When we went through our infertility journey, one of my friends donated her eggs for us so we could do IVF. We want a big family, and I think we would have as many kids as possible. She'd be pregnant right now. Yeah, the only thing is that we have to do IDF, and so why don't we have someone else come in who wants more kids, and so we can have an even bigger family than what we could create.
Starting point is 00:37:36 You mean like a surrogate? Yeah, or adopting? Yeah. One of you. This is weird. You're bringing in someone just to fuck your husband? Oh. So we really have been.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I mean, I guess that's what seeking sister wife is, huh? Talking about adding a sister wife and polygamy for a couple years. she's been talking about it anyways. Bringing it up, trying to put a bug in his ear. Yeah, and I mean, I just really, you know, recently took her serious on it. Aw, you got the pretty one. That one's sweet.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Oh, goodness. I hope whoever the sister wife is is okay with a lot of chicken poop. Yeah, the chicken's shitting all over her. Yeah, I think we can get over the chickens. Yeah, she kind of needs to be a little bit more country than Cibby. I just I don't know where to begin Like do we're gonna go to the apps I don't think anyone in small town
Starting point is 00:38:28 New Ross is going No that's why you can set your distance out So you can like meet more people Throw them that line Move that line And the app is definitely something To get us like our feet in the door And see what we're like up
Starting point is 00:38:43 Where do you start with the apps? Is it the apps for threesomes? You kind of start there I don't know I'm sure that there are Pelligami apps There must be polygamy apps Probably I would imagine it's popular enough now that you can probably have an app to consolidate.
Starting point is 00:38:56 But there's also, I think on the regular apps, you can just indicate that you're looking for someone else. No, you can. But I'm saying that for like a threesome, though, but this is like to marry. Yeah. That's a different whole, that's a whole different bag of wax. Yeah. And I do have to say, I think it's a little, maybe not weird, but I think it's a little
Starting point is 00:39:18 shoe on the other foot that it's the women in some of these cases that really are pushing their husband for another wife. Yeah. It begins. Right. We are completely brand new to this. I don't know what we're really getting ourselves into because we have no idea what this life is life. Because I was lucky enough to get one.
Starting point is 00:39:40 I don't know if I'm going to catch two. But we're willing to give it a shot because it's focused on what we are looking for. A community. A community. I feel like we have to have. Go to church. Get involved in the PTA. Some guidelines for, you know.
Starting point is 00:39:59 We'll figure it out as we go. There's no rules, really. Oh, the old, we'll figure it out as we go. That always works. Every time. We'll figure it out as we go. Bates and me hanging back because I feel like we have a good enough connection and I trust his opinion. And I want him to also that when he's meeting someone new,
Starting point is 00:40:17 I want them to have those first few moments together in the bond and to get to know each other. So down the line, I can totally see me, like, jumping in and wanting to get to know them. But as far as first impressions and getting the feels out there, I trust Reese totally with that. Wow. What was that show on HBO that was the, was it called Sister Wives? That was a great show to looking back on it now. It was so revolutionary, but then now TLC has come out with actual reality shows. But it was a, it was a act, all the actors, Chloe, Svengali.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Yeah, was in it. She played one of the wives. Not Spengali. No, no. Sengi or whatever her name is. Yeah, she's beautiful. I know what you're talking about. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:00 God, I can't remember the name. I think it'll be funny to kind of see you on a date with someone else because. You want to watch me just friend zone someone else? Yeah. Kind of because, like, you're lucky you got me. I know. Like if I hadn't spoke up, imagine where we would be. So that's my only.
Starting point is 00:41:16 See, I'm already nervous. Just like thinking about it. And I haven't even, I don't even know if anyone's going to date me, but. I mean... Wow, this guy, he's no Casanova, that's for sure. Unlike a lot of these guys who want sister wives, they're macho alpha males who are ready to stick their dick in anything that moves.
Starting point is 00:41:36 This guy, not that guy. We're not like hyper-sexual people at this point. Like, I know there's some times that... Mr. Spicy is non-existent. This is Mr. Vanilla. She adds the sprinkles. Yeah. I add the...
Starting point is 00:41:52 He is gay. There is no doubt about it. The way that he's touching her, looking at her, his affectations, I don't want to, like, throw the baby out with the bathwater and say everyone who has a lisp or does jazz hands every time they talk is gay. Because that's, I don't also want to then throw a big blanket over everyone, every gay man. Clearly, there are very macho gay men. They're a very effeminate gay men.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Well, he was in the chorus. He was in the chorus. She was undressing him. There's no sex. He doesn't care. He doesn't like women. Yeah, right. But this is my plain vanilla.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I'm just the prop. Sorry. It's so cool. First margarita's on me. Let's go. Margarita. Tonight, we are baby-free. So we are going to meet up with my dear friend, Kayla.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Reese, are you wearing slippers? Oh, my goodness. Doesn't surprise me. You've been wearing slippers since high school. That's a way to get the ladies. Get them to love your slippers first. Oh, yeah. It was called Big Love.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Oh, Big Love. I do remember that. Okay, let's take a break, and when we get back, we'll get more of Reese's opinion on plural marriage. On slippers? Yeah, for sure. Let me do something Brian has never done. Be brief. Follow us on Instagram at the commercial break.

Starting point is 00:43:50 That really wasn't that difficult. was it you're welcome okay we're back we're watching sister seeking sister wives and we're looking at recent billy jean's relationship they are new this season there's always a couple new ones a couple old ones uh what's the old ones so they don't start off new every season no they don't start well not some of them like some leave and then you know i imagine that it's hard enough to find a sister wife, but then you have a camera crew following you around. And a lot of them just don't work out. So I think the next season, the cameras are uninterested in following them around. But this is Reese and Billy Jean. They are new this season. This is the beginning of their journey.
Starting point is 00:44:35 I want to point out that they're at a Mexican restaurant, the most colorful Mexican restaurant I've ever seen in my entire life. There are two grandmas in the background having nothing to do with this. They're drinking margaritas that are neon. They're neon. That's not the natural color of a Margarita, I'm sure of it. My best friends, I've known her, gosh, since high school when we were on show choir. Her and I also went to the same college. She was in our wedding. She's like a sister to me.
Starting point is 00:45:01 But not like the sister-wife, sister. Yeah, we could never, that's gross. I love her to death, but I could never, she could never be a sister-wife. Says every guy when they're attracted to another girl. Right. So how's the searchman going for three? The sister wife. Well, like, I'm worried because I've been out of the game.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I was never really in the game. I was going to say, at least he's honest. Yeah. I like it. One of my biggest concerns is in the past, people have said, like, assumed I was gay. Okay. Okay, there we go. We are addressing the elephant in the room right away.
Starting point is 00:45:40 I like it. Go. I don't know. I mean, I remember, like, the first time it got brought to my attention, they were like, I thought he was gay. And I was like, well, I mean, I can see... Oh, come on, girl. Oh, come on, girl.
Starting point is 00:45:54 You knew it from the moment you met him. Yeah. I can see how you would think that. Yeah, he loves the arts. And he loves humans and loves that connection. And it's not coming across to women as, hey, I want to go home with you. I think he comes off as feminine. I think you're right about that.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Even the first time my dad met him, my dad asked if he was gay. I took it over to a family dinner. Well, we were doing the show choir. So, I mean, I didn't help. I was flipping her. Jazz hands don't help. Yeah, I was flipping her around. Jazz hands.
Starting point is 00:46:29 See, everybody's recognizing the same things. But that's me. Like, I don't give a crap. Yeah, because you're animated. You use your hands a lot. Yeah. And I've got a higher voice. A little guy.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I think people just. Wow. This is just a beat-up session on his masculinity. Oh, poor guy. You're short. You're short. You're ugly. I mean, you're gay.
Starting point is 00:46:54 That's why people think you're gay. It's because you're gay. You were a late bloomer. Super flamboyant and loud, but that's... This is his own wife talking. Oh, my God. Just not... Flamboyant.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Yeah. You are. The margaritas are flowing. Yeah. The truth comes out. He's learning for... You're learning for... for the first time you're flamboyant, I highly doubt it.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Okay, no, I'm just, I'm, okay, I'm taking notes. I'm just taking notes. Yes, over here. Yes. Chicken fajita? Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Oh, my God, that's so delicious. Thank you, thank you.
Starting point is 00:47:33 If we're going to be, like, really serious about this, then, like, you really need to step up your game. When the waitress comes over again, I'm going to make her blush. Oh, really? I'll see how this happens. Yes. I mean, I can make her blush. If I was gay, I would, yeah, I would tell everyone, I'd shout it from the rooftops. Like, no problem there, but I like the boobies too much.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Any but, oh, that doesn't mean you're not gay. That doesn't mean you're not gay. I mean, I've been friends with gay guys. One of my roommates was a gay guy. And you know what? They can appreciate some boobs. He loved tits more than I did. You need to be a little more smooth.
Starting point is 00:48:17 than goofy, because adult women don't want goofy. We want a man. How's everything doing, guys? Oh, okay, here comes a cute little waitress. She's coming over. Now his job is to flirt with her. Everything was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:48:34 It is great. Oh, my gosh, you almost kidding. He's touching her in a way that just screams not super manly. I don't know. We literally? No, no, no, no. It is so delicious. Do you cook this yourself?
Starting point is 00:48:46 I mean, I like to say I do. Can you? I could try. Because I could eat this every day. So if you want to come home with us any time and cook that, you know. Oh my God, I'm embarrassed. I get ass. You know, he's probably not kidding about the you can come home with them. They are looking for a sister-wife.
Starting point is 00:49:15 A sister-wife? A what? A what? What's that? A what? A sister wife? Oh. The big question here is, like, they're saying I don't have any game.
Starting point is 00:49:29 So how did I do? Yeah, how did I do? I think you did great. All right. Honestly, I think you did great. Also, I worked for tips. Yeah. I need your money to pay my rent.
Starting point is 00:49:40 You can be honest, please. Uh, no. Oh, I don't know if I could ever be a sister-wife. I've heard of it, but never actually been around people who wanted, you know, move forward with that kind of life. That's a lot for me. No? Yeah, we'll call you. Okay, sounds good.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I'll be here. He's so much beautiful. Oh. Throw that in. Oh, just throw that beautiful in there. Try and macho it up a little bit. That was a little. bit, though.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I would. That was supposed to speak that. Reese has a challenge ahead of him. He has Billy, which is great, but it took him a while to find Billy, and now you're starting from Ground Zero. This is a big task. Keep the jazz hands to yourself. To yourself.
Starting point is 00:50:40 That's crazy. Today, we are on our way to my mom's house, because we are going to be. break this news to my dad and my two cousins that we are seeking a sister-wife, so we are pulling off the band-aid today. And I mean, I've even been afraid of just, you know, the few people that we have said something to, like, is it going to get through? Are they going to hear it? I don't know that you should just be announcing to everyone before. But maybe they're doing it because they live in a small town. Maybe. I don't know. And they might, some people might be like, Why is he out there searching for dates?
Starting point is 00:51:15 I'm like, we're in a small town. Everybody talks. So my mom, I mean, she already knows. So it's not like, and she's supportive. She at least has told us she's supportive. I know. I started to sweat thinking about it. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:33 My parents, they've been divorced for 35 years, but my mom does know she was a safe bet. Definitely. She's always going to stand by me. So that was an easy one to be able to let her in. I think religion might come into it with Christina. I do too. I mean, they're all going to have an opinion about it.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Everyone is. Right. I think we're kind of going to, there's going to be a lot of judgment. But we definitely want to grow our family. I mean, there's all kinds of different family dynamics. So to me, a sister wife, it's not weird. And I think it would be amazing to have that support. Having a bunch of powerful women raising kids sounds awesome.
Starting point is 00:52:13 I just don't think I could do this. I just don't think that I could do this. I think this is like, I think polyamory is an indication that something is wrong with the original relationship. That's my personal opinion, not in every case, but in a lot of cases. And I don't think it's fair, I don't think it's fair to the kids that you're going to raise. I don't know if it's fair to the people. inside of the relationship, and I just don't see how the mechanics work out in the long run. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Right? I don't know. That's just my opinion. That's just my opinion. All right. So let's get to the part where he breaks it to his family. Who are super religious. Oh, monkey.
Starting point is 00:52:59 So where's dad and Christina and Lindsay? They should be here any time. Wow. He just wants to get to it, huh? I absolutely support billionaries to seek a sister-wife. It's not something. I would or could do in a million years. But if it makes them happy, that's my main concern.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Oh, it's blue. It's 10 blues. Oh, maybe I don't have it so bad. The reaction is important to me because losing our support group would be detrimental. We don't know what's going to happen, so just the unknown is always scary. It's definitely got me sweating a little bit. Hey. Oh, so is his dad maybe not a part of the family anymore, I guess?
Starting point is 00:53:48 Well, they're divorced. Oh, they're divorced. Yeah. So they've been divorced for like 30 years. We have kept it secret long enough, but I mean, it would be absolutely devastating if I lost my family over this. What can I get you, Karen? I washed my hands. No, I'm waiting.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I need to wash my hands. Yeah, I'm good. I'm waiting. I'm not in any hurry. Of course, Christina's going to remind us to wash our hands. I washed my hands also. I just did. All right. Well, guys. After our little pizza party.
Starting point is 00:54:21 After my pepperoni sludge down my throat, I wanted to let you know. I'm looking to stick my dick and yet even more women. Thank you seriously all for coming. So, you know, you guys have been part of our journey as we've been growing our family and we are going to continue growing it. Oh, the dad already was like, whoa. Yeah, the dad was like, huh? You've had more sex?
Starting point is 00:54:46 Yeah. Tell me more, son. Okay. We're actually seeking a sister wife. Crickets. The cousin makes it a joke. Do you know? Wait, is this real?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah. Like two wives, polygamy. Yeah. Uh-oh, dad does not seem pleased. When Reese tells me that he's illegal. Oh, yeah, that's true. It's also, yeah, it's also illegal. Also about that.
Starting point is 00:55:27 My stomach dropped, and I instantly wanted to be like, no. Why? What's your thoughts? You're good? It's just, everything's so different. You good? Everything's so different nowadays. You got the gays with the gays.
Starting point is 00:55:47 You got people marrying roosters. You got chickens on the countertop. It was hard enough when you guys had twins. I didn't even know you were sexual. And now you're going to have two vaginas in the same house. When I was a kid, we didn't even have one vagina in the house. We had two houses for each other. Is that even illegal?
Starting point is 00:56:10 Uncle Reed was like something's going on. We don't have to get married, but I mean... You're only married. We can live in sin. Hey, I'm not judging. I'm just curious. Billy is the main one. Billy is wife.
Starting point is 00:56:22 The main one. I'm sure she loves that for herself. Number one, queen. So you want to, like, have more children with that other woman? I mean, we want to have more babies. So grandpa can't buy more purses. That guy looks like the guy from nerds, doesn't he? Like the main character from nerds all grown up.
Starting point is 00:56:46 What do you think? I want Christine's honest opinion about the whole thing. What do you think? Well, a few things here. I think it's confusing for children. I think that it can cause confusion in the house. It can cause disease. And obviously, of course, you know, we just have different views.
Starting point is 00:57:12 I believe that God created man and woman For a man and woman to be together, be married So I mean in that token There's a lot of religions though That do practice that Right but religion and spirituality Is what you believe in is not
Starting point is 00:57:30 Okay so wait So you're saying that you believe God created man and woman to be with each other But that's not religion That's spirituality Yeah I think you're I don't know I guess I don't
Starting point is 00:57:42 I don't need to add any color commentary to that one. What? Right? Maybe so, but no. Like, there's only one Bible, right? No, there are literally thousands of different versions of the Bible. I think that the world we live in now, anything is welcome because we have diverted so far away from the way things used to be at least.
Starting point is 00:58:00 And I also think it's confusing for children to have two of the same sex parents, let alone three parents. Isn't the sister wife going to be a lesbian with you? No. I'm like, no. Oh, my God. Some people are so thick. It's basically like a friend for me.
Starting point is 00:58:21 I get like a built-in friend. Like a sister. Like a sister. And a wife for me. I told him, I was like, honestly, it would be great to have another set of hands. He was like, are you serious? I was like, yeah. But really?
Starting point is 00:58:34 No, but really. And so like I would bring it up. You can't do a nanny? Well, I know. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I agree with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Listen, I don't know. Every situation is different. Again, I'm not trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Every situation is different. But any time I've seen polyamory happen, it always, at least in my personal circle, seems to end in some kind of drama. It takes a lot of work. It takes a lot of work and a lot of understanding and a lot of, like, I think, backseating of your own natural inclination to feel something about. your loved one being with someone else.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Looking for a nanny? We're wanting to grow our family, not have somebody take care of our family. I think it's selfish because you guys are getting, you're fulfilling your needs. You know, you guys are wanting an extra person to help you raise kids. You're wanting to build a village.
Starting point is 00:59:28 You're wanting to build a family. You know, Reese is going to be getting sexual intimacy out of it. Billy's going to be getting a sister out of it. But what about the kids? What about the kids? Are they going to be made fun of? I know we shouldn't care what people think, but it's the harsh reality, right?
Starting point is 00:59:44 Like, how are these kids going to be treated because they have two moms? I want somebody with an emotional connection that we can get along with that I can build a village and have and rely on and that they know they can rely on me. But you're assuming that relationship will always be there. That's why I think it's unfair to kids. We were talking about, my wife and I were talking about a friend of a friend who has now gone through his first. wife passed now he's been through a divorce right and the kids are obviously not handling all of this very well and how important it is to choose wisely when you decide to bring someone into the family into the fold when it comes to children because they get attached as to parent you know
Starting point is 01:00:31 to authority figures to parental figures to people who love them and then if it's not the right person if it's not the right mix or if it's not the right situation and then that person leaves if they're not old enough to understand what's going on, that can be pretty devastating to their emotional well-being. I'm not saying that happens in every situation. But look at that Cody guy. His children are all whacked. They're all like teaming up with this family and this wife and that guy.
Starting point is 01:00:57 And none of them like Cody. Cody, no one likes Cody because Cody has managed to not give his attention to 36 different children with 17 different wives. It's a hot fucking emotional mess. And the real losers are not the women. Yes, they're losing too. I think they lost some part of their life. It's not Cody. He's a dipshit.
Starting point is 01:01:17 It's those children. They are suffering in some way, shape, or form because they don't have a bond with the dad they needed. And they are now torn apart from the moms they had because they're all gone in separate directions. Yeah. That can be so fucking tough. So if you want to do polyamory and you're 25 years old and you're out on the New York single scene, Yeah, go for it. Cool, dude.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Yeah, no problem. It's just your emotions involved. But that's the different kind of polyamory, in my opinion. That's like, you know, having fun polyammy. That's exploring sexuality. And maybe you do that for the rest of your life. But when you bring kids involved and your whole purpose is to have and raise children inside of a unit that's constantly growing with adult parental figures, you have to be fucking careful about who you choose to bring into that unit.
Starting point is 01:02:00 And you have to make sure it's not just for now. It's for fucking ever. Because those kids are going to need that parent for fucking ever. Lots of divorces happen. And parents manage their way through it. that's not what I'm saying, but this feels like this is not that, in my opinion. It's not about man or woman. I'm talking about man or man, woman or woman, man or woman, dog or cat. I don't care. You have to be careful when you bring the fucking children in because the children are the
Starting point is 01:02:24 most important thing. Children are our future, Chrissy. Teach them well and let them leave the way. Yes. I'm on a roll today. Yes, you are. Yeah, this shows wild. And then, yeah, and then to be navigating it all with cameras. Yes. That's the part that really kicks me in the potatoes. But I enjoy watching it. As a fun shits and giggles show, I enjoy watching it because it's interesting to see how people are trying to navigate this.
Starting point is 01:02:56 My favorite is the two, you know, the Merrimands or whatever their name is, the guy who's always picking another hot Colombian woman. Yeah, from South America. From South America. Yeah, he's got yet a number. another one. Are they still on? Oh, they're on now their fourth try. They have young boys who they brought into the show from time to time. And those boys have gotten attached to woman after woman after woman. Oh, no. And all he does is have sex with them and then manages not to get married
Starting point is 01:03:24 to them. I mean, honestly. And he's divorced her. She's, they're divorced. Oh, that's right. So that he can find that sister wife. And it's all because of God. God. God told him. God came to him while he was working out and told him it was working out. That's how it. That's how he says. Yeah. He is such a dip shit, honestly. That guy is a nudnik of epic proportions. I would tell it to his face.
Starting point is 01:03:47 He's just, he's selfish is what he is. Yeah. He's selfish. And that poor Danielle, she's just a hot fucking mess. Merrick's out looking for the next 20-year-old Brazilian with big boobs. Brazil. Yeah, Brazil. And Danielle's in the corner crying, divorced with children.
Starting point is 01:04:07 And he doesn't care because God told him. Yeah. God told them. You can't control that. I guess you can. Especially at the gym. Right. All right.
