We decided to contact you for money, not because we wanted to give you money. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Oh, yeah, guys and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Brittany to my Taylor, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. All right. Bit of excitement around the TCB universe. Quite the weekend. Quite the weekend.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Quite the weekend, actually, I think is probably more universe. Quite the weekend. Quite the weekend. Quite the weekend. Quite the week actually I think is probably more appropriate. Quite the couple weeks is more appropriate. Yeah, I got it. Let's go back six months. Let's go back two years ago. I was born a small white boy in downtown Chicago.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Back when I was sucking on my mommy's titties. We're not in Orlando right now. We weren't in- Now we were supposed to fly out this morning. We were supposed to fly out this morning as we're recording it. As you're listening to it, we would have been in Orlando and we're not there. And there's good reason why. And I guess I owe it the explanation.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Even though I don't want to put every single bit of my personal life out there in the world. I'll do it as a PSA. How's that Chrissy? Yes, let's do it that way. And not your prostate serum, whatever the fuck. What is that? PSA? Yeah, that's what they call it.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Public service announcement. I know, but then there's the PSA, like the screening that you get for your prostate. Yeah, that's right. That's another one too. That's another one too. We got to deal with. Skies. You know, I got COVID about, I'll start at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I got COVID about two years ago, or three years ago at this point, two and a half years ago. For the first time. And like everybody, I didn't really get all that sick. I mean, I had gotten the vaccine. I felt relatively OK. But I was tired. Man, was I tired. And that lingered for a very long time. And long COVID is a thing. It's a real thing.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yes. And I assumed that I had it after three, four, five, six months. I got increasingly tired, like fatigued. I got increasingly achy. My body got achy, along with a bunch of other disparate syndromes, like bad headaches, and I would be shot out of a cannon in the morning, but by one, two o'clock in the afternoon, I was having a hard time standing straight up. Now, you know, I was just chalking this up to having 65 children, a terrible cocaine problem
Starting point is 00:04:40 in my 20s, and, you know, generally just being malaced because the everyday things that you go through. Yeah, and not being 22 anymore. I had a terrible cocaine problem in my 20s. And generally just being malaced because the everyday things that you go through. Yeah, and not being 22 anymore. I thought, okay, here it is, I'm old, I got it. I'm old, I got old and that's what happened. And I felt like one of two things, I got old and I have long COVID,
Starting point is 00:04:58 or I got old and I just got old. I mean, I'm just feeling like shit. Thank you all over. Well, all of your children are enough to run people back. And I do have to say, and blue. I mean, yeah'm just feeling like shit. Thank you all over. Well, all of your children are enough to run people back. Oh my God. I do have to say, and Blue. I mean, yeah, and Blue. Blue's just a highly stressful part of the daily living.
Starting point is 00:05:12 But let's put Blue aside for a second. I just assumed that because I was not 22 and still had very young children, and it seems like every year we had another child for the last 10 years. And so we're always constantly doing this thing up at night and trying to put the kids to bed. I was excusing a lot of this. So, about a year and a half ago, I was also having some terrible headaches that started to concern me that I was having these day after day after day. And I went to my
Starting point is 00:05:38 doctor and my doctor said, are you taking Advil for it? And I said, yes, I am. Like, I'm taking ibuprofen. And he said, stop taking ibuprofen. And I said, what? And that's the thing that helps it. He said, no, it's the thing that's hurting it. What you're having is what's called a bounce back headache. So, I stopped taking Advil. And for a while, that actually did work. And then the headaches came back again. And then the tiredness persisted. And then the last three to six months, I think Chrissy and my wife will attest to this, is I've been a general bitch in a lot of different ways. My attitude, my mood, I've been irritable, I've been super tired, I've been achy, feverish at times, and it got to a point where I started getting really concerned about my health. Like, maybe this is something that I need
Starting point is 00:06:21 to go get checked out. Maybe there is cancer, right? Maybe it's something like that or some kind of disease that I'm not aware of. It's some kind of insect-borne disease that I'm not aware of. Right, you have West Nile. Yes, exactly. Or, you know, one of those, like a fly- There's so many things. I know. It's bombarding and it's overwhelming. I read in like some British rag, I read that some lady had like flies in her house. She
Starting point is 00:06:44 ate an apple and then she had some like fly-borne disease that some lady had, like, flies in her house. She ate an apple, and then she had some, like, fly-borne disease that, like, her eyeball popped out one morning. I thought to myself, I have one of those! That's what it is! I've got something! It's blue! Blue shit and piss everywhere! I know it! So anyway, four weeks ago, five weeks ago, Chrissy and I are here recording, and I start to get some fluttering in my heart and some chest pain. That persisted for the next three hours to the point where I finally had to say, that's just like a man. I finally said something three hours later to my wife and she's like, ambulance or hospital, your choice. But one of those is happening right now. And not wanting to cause a scene and embarrass myself in front
Starting point is 00:07:21 of my neighbors, especially the one who's air conditioning fault, he's nosy and he'll put it, I know he's going to be writing on next door. So, things are gigantic across the street with the curtains always drawn, smoking crack. Went to the hospital, got an EKG, was not having a heart attack, but the doctor, who was good, said, let me do some follow-up blood work, we're going to take a bunch of blood and we'll run the gamut. And what he found was high calcium. And then two weeks later, serendipitously, so this is like three weeks ago, four weeks ago now, I had an annual physical and my doctor I'd seen for many years was gone. He started his own practice, I got a
Starting point is 00:07:58 new doctor, she was really nice, she sat there for a long time asking me a bunch of questions and then said, I noticed for the last four years you've had high calcium levels and I see again that you had another high calcium level when you went to the emergency room. So we're going to test for calcium this time like we always do and then if we see any indicators, I'm going to do some follow-up testing. So I'm going to draw an extra vial of blood I can send off. They did. That came back. She sent that blood work to a specialized laboratory, that laboratory, then tested my thyroid and my parathyroid. The parathyroid, who knew? I had never heard of the word parathyroid.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Well, and I think really the whole thyroid part of things, study, the study of the thyroid has really only come into practice in the past, what, 20 years, 30 years? The study of the parathyroid, certainly, but the thyroid in general. Yeah, so I've always heard like, oh, thyroid levels are off, but what does that mean? What does that even mean? Yeah, who fucking cares?
Starting point is 00:08:55 It's a little flappy thing on your neck. Hormones, and wow, okay, low T, or high estrogen, or I'm about to start my period, I don't know. Like, what is it? Thyroid'm about to start my period, I don't know, like what is it? And so now- Thyroids connected to your testicles, testicles connected to your wife's hand. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So even to go further from just general, there's, you have a thyroid, now there's four parathyroids. Four parathyroids. That also make that up. Yes, well- Are behind it? They're behind it.
Starting point is 00:09:24 They're four little tiny glands the size of a pea, Parathias. That also make that up. Yeah. So, well. Are behind it? They're behind it. Yes. They're four little tiny glands the size of a pea. They put out something fucking crazy. Which is just freaking amazing that your body has all of these things and they all work together. Yeah, and they're machines and they talk to each other.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Yeah. Like I'm... Telling, telling, release this. You know, I'm starting to... Release the hounds. Release the hounds. Release the calcium from your bones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Now you have leaky bones. So, I'll get to my leaky bones. So, they test the parathyroid, they test the thyroid. The parathyroid is four little glands that sit behind your thyroid, and they release PTH, which then tells your liver, your stomach, your kidneys, and your bones how much calcium to retain. Yeah, basically, it says, your kidneys, and your bones, how much calcium to retain. Yeah, basically it says, hey, need calcium or have too much. And then you're supposed to pee the calcium out that you don't need. And generally, calcium is just like, it's a rather benign thing that everyone kind of takes for granted. You know, it's in your milk, it's in your cheese.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Well, and you think it's just related to just strictly, oh, you need it for your bones. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. But who knew? Who knew? You need it for everything. Every electrical current in your body uses calcium and it can wreak fucking havoc on your body and your mind if you have either too little or too much.
Starting point is 00:10:36 That parathyroid can suffer from primary hyperparathyroidism. You can go ahead and Google that. Good luck spelling it. It took me about 30 times. If the PTH, if one of your parathyroids or more grows a tumor or grows too big or just gets overactive, it tells the body to keep calcium and also it will tell your bones to leak calcium because you need more. That's what the PTH does, it tells your body you need more calcium. Take it from your bones and so it
Starting point is 00:11:08 Was it has been wreaking havoc on my body for probably more years like a decade like a long time but the symptoms got too big to ignore very recently and it causes a lot of shitty symptoms like being tired and achy bones and foggy brain and memory loss and confusion and it causes all, it wreaks all kind of havoc. And it became kind of an emergent situation when they realized just how high my calcium levels were, just how high my PTH levels were. And that became a concern for my health, traveling, doing hours of shows. Here's the truth, maybe I couldn't get through hours of shows. I might have fallen asleep. I was ready. We were excited. We were very excited to come down there.
Starting point is 00:11:54 We put a lot of work into it too. A lot of work and energy and effort. But let me tell you this just in case. Like, there are, I think a lot of, this goes misdiagnosed in so many people, so many people, maybe by half, like maybe there's a hundred percent more people out there that have this that don't get it diagnosed because your doctor ignores it because it's not a very well-known phenomenon. Only in the last 15-20 years have they studied this. And I'm going to a great surgery center, one of the doctors who pioneered the surgery that I am having, I'm going to go have
Starting point is 00:12:24 that in October. So, a couple things this means for the show. Number one, obviously we're not down in Florida right now. I put out a message, I'm hoping the ticketing center sends you more information on what to do with those tickets. I will give you that information just as soon as I have it. Yeah, it'll either be a refund or a hold on to it. Refund or honor the ticket. Yeah, hold on to the ticket. Because we're planning on... We will come.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yes. We will be there. Just let me recover a little bit. Just let it be the first year. Yeah, hold on to the thing. Because we're planning on... We will come. Yes. We will be there. Just let me recover a little bit. It'll be the first year. I don't know when. Yeah. I don't know when.
Starting point is 00:12:50 We'd like it to be early next year, but we'll see what happens with the surgery, how everyone's feeling, and the availability of the clubs and the promoter's choice. This is the promoter that needs to make those decisions in conjunction with our management and us. Number one. Number two, in October, Chrissy and I are going to be taking a lot of time off. And that doesn't mean no shows for you.
Starting point is 00:13:10 We are going to definitely be doing shows. The podcast will continue. I am not dying, I don't think. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Yes, ignorance is bliss. Although some in the podcast industry probably would like me dead. I'm not dying yet. Some in my own family, I think, might like me dead. But some people were like, really? That's great news. No, I'm kidding. We all want you to get better. Yes. There is a secondary and cursory reason why this decision was made not to do these shows. And let me explain this part of it. It went into the notebook.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It went into the notebook and we got done. Where all things go to die. Where everything goes to die, including Brian, including my parathyroid. So when we made these shows with WME, great promoters, great group, and our talent agent, Matt Dysert, when we made this decision to do these shows, it was a really quick turnaround. We signed for these shows back in early August and then we're supposed to be in there in September. It didn't give us a ton of room to promote the shows.
Starting point is 00:14:20 We just got the links two and a half weeks ago to sell the tickets. It's not a typical turnaround on live shows. Like, we just got the links two and a half weeks ago to sell the tickets. It's not a typical turnaround on live shows. And I know that there are many of you that bought tickets, and I love you and thank you to the hundreds of thousands of people that bought tickets. We love you. But it would do us, it probably would suit us a little better also to just have a little more room, like a little more breathing room. So those, first, my health, second, let's give it a little bit more runway. And third, what's third? There's a hurricane coming and so many of you down there. There is a hurricane coming. I know, I did see that.
Starting point is 00:14:56 That's crazy. Look at this, hurricane season down there. So all of those things. So I want to apologize to anybody that bought tickets. I'm sorry that I ruined your Tuesday or Wednesday night in late September. And just listen, there's nothing else to say. I'm sorry, I'm sick. Health comes first. Health comes first. I need to take care of myself.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It's important. And just honestly, based on some results I just got this morning, it's like, do not push it right now. Don't push it. Yeah. Get it taken care of. Keep it low key.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And then I come in here in the studio and act like an idiot for three hours, four hours a day. But that's it. That's all we have to say about the shows. We love you. They will happen. We hope to be doing live shows well into the future. This was going to be our first two,
Starting point is 00:15:49 but we just can't make it this time. And so we love you. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, 212-433-3TCB. Christina Astor will be happy to take that abuse right there. Beth Dombkowski Shield us. Matt Hulme Yeah, I'll answer some too. And much love to the clubs and much love to the WME and much love to Matt Dinser. The Bone! That was my, I was really excited to go to The Bone, actually. I know, I know. And the Dania Beach one because we heard from these comics
Starting point is 00:16:13 that were coming on here. What a great place it was. Yeah, bone figure. You knew we were going to fuck it up somehow, guys. My parathyroid said, no, no, no, no, no, not just yet, Brian, not just yet Brian You already made an announcement You've been talking about it for three weeks straight non-stop. No problem parathyroid tumor Put some extra cells funky calcium reading not so fast. Mr. Live show Brian
Starting point is 00:16:47 I'll show you to make plans in advance. Exactly. I even got this Tina Tann Tweed T-shirt made. We made a T-shirt. We had, I know I have the piggy front team. Yeah. T-shirt, we had T-shirts, we had some giveaways. We'll be there. We'll do it.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Now we're too invested. I mean, we spent so much time. Exactly. I spent so many nights trying to figure out exactly what to do in this live show. Because here, just to like reveal a little bit, we don't wanna give it away, because now we're gonna go do it. We'll do them at a later date.
Starting point is 00:17:11 But you know, I didn't wanna do an episode of the commercial break. No, this wasn't just gonna be like a live show. We didn't wanna do an episode. Well, we didn't wanna do an episode like this, where you're just horribly depressed afterwards. We wanted to do an actual actual fun show for you guys. Interactive, fun, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:28 With all your favorites, but new stuff. We were going to bring out some old, yeah. We were going to bring out some old people like Brian. What if you just wheel me up there with an oxygen tank? Just like a small bag hanging out of my parathyroid. What you thought was going to happen years from now down at the villages has just been sped up. Yeah. We just decided, well, what would we do if we were sitting at the villages? Let's put that on paper and we'll do it at the bone and it'll be funny. Yeah. And you know,
Starting point is 00:18:00 to be honest with you, I am, there is a big part of me that is bummed out. It's bumman You do. Jared Sussman Because I thought this is going to be such fun. We're going to have a great time down there. And people had been texting us, you know, pretty frequently actually saying we're really excited. All of Venezuela was going to be at that Daniel Polanyi show to the point where I thought I might have to do some of it in Spanish. Honestly, I was like, should we do like an homage to, you know, should we do something in Spanish? I was going to have to cut out my Astrid voice just for the Daniel Point show. I did get in trouble. So, you get it. Sorry, we love you, best to you. You know, we'll be down there. We'll get around to it. So anyway. Okay, let's do this.
Starting point is 00:18:45 After this horribly depressing opening to the show. Oh, and I do want to say this. Like, I think Chrissy and I have been through some really rough health-related stuff over the last three years. Not talking about us personally, I mean, now I'm going through it, but talking about close loved ones, family members, friends who have been through some rough stuff. And I'm going to share something with you. Six years ago, no, no, no, nine years ago now, nine years ago, when Astrid and I first started dating, Raphael's father was dying of inoperable prostate cancer. And we all went to like, a St. Patrick's Day party, a Venice Wayland St. Patrick's Day party, a Venezuela St. Patrick's Day party,
Starting point is 00:19:26 go figure that one. And all of his family was around, and one of his family members had been an endocrinologist in Venezuela, now living here in the United States. An older lady, one of his aunts. And they were taking pictures all around, you know, pictures, pictures, pictures. That's what Venezuelans do. They take pictures of every fucking thing, your shoes, your socks, you've got to just get all the entire outfit and your face a million times whenever you go to one of these parties. So she's taking pictures and she took a couple of photographs of me and halfway through the party, she says, and she doesn't speak great English. So she had her daughter, who was also a doctor, say, my aunt wants, or my mom wants you to lay
Starting point is 00:20:06 down on the couch. And I said, what are you talking about? Lay down on the couch, she wants to feel your neck. She starts feeling around my neck. And she tells her daughter to tell me to go see an endocrinologist because she thinks that something is wrong with my thyroid. That is crazy. It was insane. Like, I think about this moment now, like the second that they started talking about, like, surgery and the tumor, I started thinking about this,
Starting point is 00:20:31 and she said, because my eyes were bulging, and she saw something in my neck when I was talking. She said two indications that something is wrong with your thyroid or something in that area, right? And then she laid me down, felt my neck, and then she was like, consistent upon this, that I go see an endocrinologist. I chalked this lady up to be some kind of like black magic, witches brew, you know, a parathyroid problem I can see through your skin. I honestly chalked this up to just craziness, just like Venezuelan craziness, and like cultural differences,
Starting point is 00:21:03 right? Something like, how could you possibly know something is wrong with my thyroid by feeling my neck and looking at a picture with my eyes bulging? It has nothing to do with my thyroid, it's all that cocaine I've been snorting. Like, no, I'm kidding. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, I thought, that's just a weird picture you took of me, my eyes happen to be open. Right. She, I don't know if this is related. I don't know if, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:25 the surgeon seems to think I've had this for more than a decade. I don't know if this is related, but if it is, man, is that weird. Trust your gut. Good thing you ignored it. Good thing I ignored it for seven and a half, nine more years, whatever it was. I guess the bottom line is trust your gut, trust the people around you. If you think something is wrong without getting checked out and don't think you're crazy for it. You don't think you're being overdramatic because little things do add up and sometimes it can be too late. You are your biggest health advocate. I am lucky that I am lucky to have had a doctor
Starting point is 00:21:58 who sensed something was wrong and that the symptoms didn't add up and that there was a problem and she took it further. I am blessed to have, like, I hate that word when people use it, but I'm feeling that way right now, to have walked in and had someone that actually gave a shit about what was going on with me and connected some dots for me. But we also know people who just didn't follow it far enough. Like, they insist upon that test, like, insist on seeing a specialist or whatever. If you sense insist upon that test, like, insist on seeing a specialist or whatever. If you sense something's wrong with your body, you know it. And if your crazy aunt from a South American country who's known as the family witch decides to put you on
Starting point is 00:22:34 a couch and start feeling around your balls or your face and says something's wrong with you, go get it checked out. Go get it checked. For everybody's sake, please. All right, let's take a short break and then we'll come right back and we'll do something more lighthearted. How's that Chrissy? Sounds like a plan. We'll talk about P Diddy and make it more lighthearted. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:22:53 I'm kidding. I'm done with P Diddy. All right. We'll be back. Look, I only just started following the commercial break on Instagram too, and that's on me.

The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus. Can we talk just for one moment about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Kennedy, that's what I like to call him. I don't like to call him a Kennedy because he's a Kennedy. I know. It's just... What in the whack of fucking do is going on out there? What in the whack of fucking do is going on out there? I thought he was one of the good guys for like seven minutes. And then he fell off the turnip truck about nine years ago and he hasn't come back yet.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I don't know what in the fucking world is going on with that guy. I really don't. He is openly bragging about having a sexual relationship, getting nude photographs from a reporter. And by the way, can we talk about this reporter who always seems to be in the middle of some kind of sexual drama? I have a feeling she likes to make the news so she can report about it. That's my personal opinion. What else? Olivia Newsy. Oh, Chris, please. There's like a whole list of things. You know that she walked into the house and she started taking pictures. Walked into whose house? The house. The house. Congress. Like the house.
Starting point is 00:26:02 The house, Congress. Like, the house. Oh! Yeah. Bob's house! Bob's house. She walked into the house and started taking photographs. I think it was, who was the, Kevin McCarthy. I think it was Kevin McCarthy and started taking photographs of his desk, of pieces of paper in his desk. What? And she was texting with her friend the entire time, like, hey, I just broke into his office. And he's like,
Starting point is 00:26:30 you know that's illegal. And her response was like, oh, shit. Like, you didn't know it was illegal to break into a fucking congressman's office? The speaker of the goddamn house? And then she got fined. She was a, by all accounts, respected reporter. She worked for the Daily Beast, she worked for the New Yorker, she worked for New York Magazine, she worked for a bunch of these different, you know, highfalutin' rags. But she always seemed to be in some kind of controversy or drama. And the newest one is, is that she's out on the campaign trail following RFK Jr. for the New Yorker. or New York magazine,
Starting point is 00:27:06 whatever it is. And she strikes up a consensual but sexual relationship with our sexting. She's sending this guy nudes, RFK Jr. who's famously married to Cheryl Hines. I know, but I love it. And the report it was that they were demure. Oh, they were demure. Demure nudes. Oh, demure nudes. I'm like, what? What is demure nudes?
Starting point is 00:27:30 I'm not spreading. Yeah, exactly. I'm just showing it like it is. And soft lighting. Soft lighting. I zhuzh up my vajayjay. What is it? I've got a tuft of hair down there.
Starting point is 00:27:43 What is a demure nude? Listen, if you're sending a nude photograph to a dude that you know is sexually interested into you, it's a sex message or a sex Mexican, as my mom would call it. Listen, I have news for you. This is fucking horseshit. RFK Jr., all I can think about, all I can think about is Cheryl fucking Hines. I thought about the same thing. What is she fucking thinking? What was she thinking back then? What is she thinking now?
Starting point is 00:28:09 I know, I read some stuff. The hot mods, the hot mods, that's what it is. Yeah, well I guess originally she was maybe the other woman is what I read I think earlier today. But then she married him, all her friends were saying, don't do it, You know, be careful. Well, here we are, you know. And this, all those things.
Starting point is 00:28:30 She was having a good time, at least an Instagram good time. Yeah, absolutely. That makes everything look perfect. Everything's fine. She was celebrating her birthday with his daughter and her daughter, and they were at the Milan Fashion Week.
Starting point is 00:28:46 And she wasn't wearing her wedding ring. Exactly. Yeah, so we can only imagine. R.F.K. Jr. is a legendary coxman. He has been for a long time. He was also an alcoholic, and he sold drugs, and he had a bad cocaine problem, and I think he smoked crack at one point.
Starting point is 00:28:58 All of this stuff I have done too, it doesn't mean you can't. I don't smoke crack, but you know what I'm saying. All of this stuff, you can reform yourself, but I'm not running for, you know, whatever, Vice President of the United States. Let's just be honest. He's running for Vice President of the United States because that Vance guy could be for so long. You know, he's running for President of the United States. He's got some really far out there ideas. He's been a lifelong Democrat, like a super liberal Democrat. He's out there cutting off the heads of whales and throwing baby bears in Central Park. I know he's being
Starting point is 00:29:30 investigated for the whale head thing. As you should be. As you should be. You can't travel down the highway with a whale head stashed to your station wagon. I mean, come on. It was up to Trump and we deregulate everything and just have everybody running down the highway with whale heads. That's not a good idea. It's just not. I mean, Cheryl, like, let me give you a little inside scoop on the commercial break. When we first started taking on guests, our booking agency came to us and said, would you have Cheryl on your show? And at the time, RFK was running for president. He had just announced, I don't even just announced, but he announced, you know, not so long ago. And we said, of course, the Curb Your Enthusiasm last season was coming out. And we said, of course, we'd
Starting point is 00:30:20 love to talk to Cheryl. I've been a big fan of hers for a long time. And I love her too. And I love her work on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I've been a big fan of hers for a long time. And I love her too. And I love her work on Curb Your Enthusiasm. I don't love her work as the wife of Robert F. Kennedy, but I love her work. But to be clear, she has always said, I don't like Trump. I'm not with it. I'm not down with it.
Starting point is 00:30:36 But we can agree. And by the way, so did RFK until about three weeks before he negotiated some quid pro quo with Trump. It just goes to show you that everything's for fucking sale. And so she, and then I don't know if you remember this, I'm just having a hard time fitting it all in. There's so much. There's so much. She canceled.
Starting point is 00:30:57 And the reason why she canceled, we believe, we don't know this for sure, but it sure was a coinkydink that like the week before we were supposed to do this, the Jeffrey Epstein files came out and oops, Robert FK is all over that airplane. That's right. And so she canceled. And I understand why she didn't want to answer the questions. We wouldn't have asked the questions because we're too chicken shit to do that kind of stuff. But I think we would have had to actually. But at the end of the day, it's not her, it's her husband that's doing this. And RFK-
Starting point is 00:31:28 How embarrassing. How weird, just weird do you have to be to pick up a dead baby bear and then put it in New York and make it look like a cycling accident? Was the bear riding the bicycle? I never got to the bottom of it. That's starting. Well again, now something else new
Starting point is 00:31:42 just takes over the cycle. It's the next thing, it's the next thing, it's the next thing. And he, listen, he has- Where you're like, yeah, now something else new just takes over the cycle. It's the next thing. It's the next thing. It's the next thing. And he, listen, he has- Well, you're like, yeah, what happened with that? Yeah. No charges for throwing a dead baby bear on a bicycle and leaving it in Central Park.
Starting point is 00:31:57 There are kids that go to that park. No, but no charges. Don't worry about it. I think the statue of limitations had run out on dead baby bears, I guess, I'm not sure. This guy- Bizarre. It is bizarre. He is so bizarre. Like, all his, everything that comes out of RFK's storied existence is just bizarre. And who is the other-
Starting point is 00:32:21 Most of his family's come out and said, we're not with him. I imagine RFK, listen, it's got to be hard to be a Kennedy. It really has to be very difficult to be a Kennedy. Not in the sense that you have all the money in the world and everybody loves you. You're notoriously handsome and you get any girl you want. Not that part of it. But the other part of it where you have to live up to certain expectations. You always have to be a liberal, you know, you're an Irish Catholic liberal,
Starting point is 00:32:50 and you know, your dad, your grandfather, your uncle, whatever it was, was like, you know, the king of the United States for a long time. I get all that. That's got to be terrible pressure. But if you're going to live in that limelight, if you're going to decide to live in that limelight, then take a little bit from your family members and try not to, try not to be a total fucking moron. Completely off the rails. Completely off the rails. And what I like about RFK, let me explain what I like about RFK. He will change his mind. He does a lot, but he will change his mind. If someone presents him with an argument, he has changed his mind on a number of things. I like that. I don't think our politicians should be stuck in a box never to change their mind about anything.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Danielle Pletka Agreed. Jared Saskar I don't think you should say on a Monday that I'm not going to sign the six-week abortion ban and then on a Tuesday I'm going to sign the six-week abortion ban. But over time, if your presented arguments that start to make sense to you, I think you should change your mind if you start to believe something different. We all do this in life and politicians should be no different. That's what I like about RFK, what I don't like about RFK is the dead baby bears, the whales and all the cheating. It should rob the drug abuse. It should all, what is he thinking? What is this guy thinking? He's on the campaign trail,
Starting point is 00:34:00 where every bit of his actions are being photographed and written about and videotaped. And then he gets in bed with a reporter. Did you not think for one fucking second that that reporter could be digging for a story or that the story itself could become a story? Like there are other reporters around you also. And by the way, what's up with this Olivia lady? She's a very good looking reporter, by the way. I don't think I've seen a picture. Are all reporters that good looking? Because I always think of like, reporters looking like me, like, you know, like, kind of weird and geeky with big heads and glasses.
Starting point is 00:34:36 You can be good looking and be a reporter. Geez, wow. Yeah, I go, listen, I understand why Robert F. Kennedy in his mid 70s, you know, is attracted to this woman, but you- Nicole Soule- He's got, why Brian 3000? Brian 3000, why baby bear 3000? You'll be strong enough to throw a dead baby bear right into Central Park. Nicole Soule- Because doesn't he have some videos showing him like all, you know, shirtless
Starting point is 00:34:51 and- Brian 3000- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nicole Soule- Oh, yeah. Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is messing over. Nicole Soule- Yes. Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is messing over. Nicole Soule- Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is messing over. Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is messing over. Nicole Soule- Oh, yeah. Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is messing over. Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is messing over. Nicole Soule- Oh, yeah. Brian 3000- I think he talks about like, testosterone is yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think he talks about like, I got testosterone is the best thing ever. He's been on like Rogan and they're like comparing muscles. I've got muscles, you've got muscles, we all have muscles. My balls are small, my balls are smaller. I read
Starting point is 00:35:23 this story, I thought to myself, this cannot be true. And then as more evidence came out, and then she admitted it. She's like, yeah, I sent him some demure nudes, some demure nudes. Send me some demure nudes. What's up with that? If they're so demure, let's see the receipts. I want to see the receipts. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Good old RFK. And that voice, you know, if I was going to vote independent, and let's say that Robert F. Kennedy wasn't so far out there on some of his thoughts and stances on general life. Let's say that, but that voice is, I don't think I could listen to that voice for an entire four years. Have you heard his voice? Yeah, it doesn't match what you think. Hold on, let me see if I can try and replicate it here. Probably can't. Did something happen? I can't remember. Was like a health issue that made it like that?
Starting point is 00:36:13 It was the dead baby bear. It was all that way on me. Sounds like he's got like an ashtray in his throat. It is pretty disconcerting. Yeah, I think something did happen. He had his parathyroid cut out. Right. That's what you have to look forward to. Oh my God, I told the surgeon, I'm like, Doc, I'm a podcaster.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I almost make a living doing this. So you gotta go easy on my vocal cords. Don't mess up the voice, the vocal cords. And he could have, you know, that doctor, he didn't even ask me what the name of the podcast was. It was like, yeah, it's fine. It's a small chance. Whatever. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I have a life too, Brian. And I thought, you're going to take care of this golden voice, right? So many tens of people relying on me, Tuesday through Friday, to get through their work day. Right. Anyway, Robert F. Kennedy, what are you doing? And Cheryl, poor Cheryl. I mean, now she's got to go through all the embarrassment and all of the heartache and all of the heartbreak. I can only say one thing, run Cheryl, run. That's what I have to say, run. You don't
Starting point is 00:37:22 like Trump. You don't like the deal that your husband made with Trump. You don't like the fact that now you have to be part of this ideology that you're not a fan of. If that was me, it's always like, it's like Kellyann Conaway and George, what's his name? Is it George? George Conway. George Conway.
Starting point is 00:37:40 It's like those two. How in the world do they sleep under the same roof? I think they're getting divorced. I think they're separated. Yeah. And understandable. Right. Like, yeah, how do you have two totally different philosophies and ways of thinking and maintain
Starting point is 00:37:57 relationships? Could you love Jeff if he had a different political ideology? I don't think we would have gotten together in the first place. No, I don't think so either. I don't think Asher and I would have seen, I just don't think Asher and I would have. I don't think it would have progressed. Yeah, and that's a shame. We wouldn't have had that connection. Yeah, that's a shame. Like, you know, I know Jewish people and Catholic people that have
Starting point is 00:38:14 gotten married, right? Not one of them always can... Well, religion is one thing. I'm not Catholic and he is. Is he like, does he go to church Catholic? Oh, his mom is very, very... Oh, she is? ...sib out, yeah. She doesn't know about this podcast, does she? No.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Oh, thank God. Ha, she knows, but I've said, you can't listen. Oh, you did? Yeah, I'm like, you can't get it on your phone. Smart, smart. No, no, no. Don't worry about podcasts. Just stay away from podcasts all together. Yeah, listen, I don't think in 2024 that if I was dating somebody,
Starting point is 00:38:44 and I think we've had if I was dating somebody, and I think we've had this question on Ask TCB, is that- It would be hard to connect with somebody that was really on the other side of the fence. Like independent, okay? Yeah. Like we can, if they're open to mind changing,
Starting point is 00:39:00 I'm open to mind changing, we have a healthy discussion about things, okay. But somebody who's really on the other side, I still think it wouldn't work. It wouldn't progress. If you think a fire wolf fucked a monkey and turned COVID into a worldwide pandemic,
Starting point is 00:39:17 then I'm gonna have a hard time dealing with you. I'm gonna have a hard time seeing eye to eye with you. If you think mountain monsters is real. Yeah, if you think Mount Munsters is real, you don't belong in my household. That's all I got to say. But, you know, so Cheryl, this is it. Strawberry-baked camel's back. You know, it's one thing to have secret dalliances, which I think is just part of being with Kennedy. I think Kennedy's- Nicole Soule-Nagant That's what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Jared Slauson That's what they say, right? And I don't think Cheryl is at all unintelligent. I think she's super intelligent. She's got to be to keep up with Larry David, right? Well, right. In an improv situation. She's been her career even before that. I've seen stuff about her before. I mean, yeah, she was very accomplished person in her own right. And then she got on curb and it changed everything. But yeah, she seems like a smart, funny lady. Okay. So she knew this going in. It's one thing to have secret dalliances, right? You
Starting point is 00:40:11 know, oh, I'm, I'm whatever, I'm in Vegas and I, you know, I know what you're up to, right? And that's the way we'll live our life. You don't tell me, I don't care. You know, it's fine. Lots of people I think have that agreement, actually. I think there's lots of women and men who just kind of have that, hear no evil, see no evil. Yeah, what happens on the road is on the road. Stays on the road. Right. But when you have to deal with it in such a public way, I don't care who you are, how smart you are, it's embarrassing. It's very embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:40:37 It's embarrassing, it's hurtful, they have children together, he's got 30 children, she's got a child with him, that's got to be a very hurtful thing. I think they have one child together. Yeah, and I think he's got seven children all together. Like two with this girl and three with that girl and one with this girl and that and another one with that girl. I mean, which is fine, whatever, that's your life's course. I don't care, I don't care who you have children with. But, and I've got 30. They're all with the same women. I think they're all mine. I think. I'm taking a guess. One doesn't look so much like me. One's like a little different than the other, but you know, I think that they're generally all mine. And if they're not, who cares? At this point
Starting point is 00:41:17 it's mine anyway. But, and I'm kidding, they're all mine. But I say this to say that, like, you know, it's one thing to, like, have children with multiple women. I say this to say that, like, you know, it's one thing to, like, have children with multiple women, it's another thing to be, like, publicly having sex with a reporter that is following you around the campaign trail and making it such a public and ugly and hurtful thing. It just doesn't speak well. And then go back, just like two months ago, we're talking about the whale, and then like two months before that, it's the dead baby bear. And like three months before that, it's vaccines. And like seven months before that, it's space aliens, it's a secret, what do they call them? Like whisper wolves or something like that. I mean, I have a feeling he does think that mountain monster is real. But anyway, okay, let's,
Starting point is 00:42:02 enough with RFK. I mean, not enough. We'll be diving into it more. As more gets uncovered, we'll dive into it more. But enough for now.

Terrible ending, wonderful beginning. Man is kidnapped, a boy is kidnapped at six years old, at the age of six years old. A woman comes, lures him into a car, never to be seen again, never to be heard or seen from again.
Starting point is 00:44:26 This is in California or Washington, let me get it right. California, never to be seen again until three weeks ago, 70 years later. 70? 70. 70 years later, he is found because of one of those DNA ancestry things that I hate, right? That I hate for so many reasons. But I do have to say, this is quite the unbelievable story. You want me to read a little bit of it? Yeah, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Six-year-old California boy who was kidnapped from an Oakland park by a woman offering to buy him candy has been found more than 70 years later. Luis Albino, who was abducted February 21, 1951, is now a retired grandfather and Vietnam vet. He was reunited with his family in June, oh, this is three months ago, excuse me, thanks to the persistence of his now 63-year-old niece, Alida, who found her uncle on the East Coast after using an online DNA test. Aliquin, Alida's first tip was the result of an online DNA test in 2020, which revealed her uncle as a 22% match. Not enough to be sure, but enough to investigate.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Her initial attempts to contact him did not receive a reply. Four years later in February, 2024, she and her daughters found several photos of the adult albino online and compared them with pictures of him as a child that they dug up in a microfilm archive of the Oakland Tribune. The similarity was striking
Starting point is 00:46:06 enough when she brought her findings to the Oakland police, a new missing persons case was opened and the FBI and Department of Justice were looped in. Police reached out to Albino and asked him if he was willing to take a DNA test. After the results proved to match, the FBI helped bring Albino to Oakland, along with members of his family, to meet his niece, her mother, and other relatives unknown to him. He was also, that's his sister, her mother is his sister, other relatives unknown to him. He was also able to meet his brother, Roger, who was 10 years old when he was abducted. Roger died in August, but not before Albino made a second visit to the house to see him
Starting point is 00:46:45 in July. Albino's mother, who died at the age of 92 in 2005 and kept a vigil of hope for her son, reportedly never stopped visiting the missing person's office of the police every year, believing somehow, somewhere, he was alive. I always knew I had an uncle. We spoke of him a lot. My grandmother carried the original article in her wallet and she always talked about him.
Starting point is 00:47:08 A picture of him was always hung on the family wall. The woman who kidnapped him in 1951, when he still could not speak English after his family moved from Puerto Rico a year earlier, reportedly flew him to the East Coast where he was eventually raised by a separate couple who raised him as their own son. What? Oakland police now consider the missing person case closed, but along with the FBI have kept the kidnapping investigation open. Wow.
Starting point is 00:47:32 That's incredible. This is like a shitty story, but it's feel good in so many ways. I like this kind of story every once in a while because when you're dealing with misery and bullshit and all the crap and politics and day to day living, you like to hear a good feel good story. And this one tickles the cockles in my heart, Chrissy. Warms the cold dead calcium filled heart that I have. Your leaky bones. My leaky bones are just rejoicing that my thin leaky bones are cracking with joy this morning.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Knowing that this guy finally had some kind of closure after seven years. So do I. I have so many questions. Did he know? Did he know? Or was he just thinking that this, he had to have not known. Well, it doesn't say much about that, but at six years old, between four, between three, four and five is when most people start had generating memories. But you're so malleable at that age and you're not speaking English. So you're in a totally different new place.
Starting point is 00:48:41 I could see how it might easily, how you could easily be, you were given up for adoption, you're here with us now, or your mom and dad couldn't care for you anymore, so here, here you are here with us, and you don't need to worry about it, we love you, blah, blah, blah. Obviously, he made it through childhood, right? They kept him alive. We don't know any of the details, if there was any abuse or anything like that, why the woman stole the child to then give it to someone else, give Albino to another human being, a couple. I have no idea, but that's the same questions I have. And then if there was any kind of inkling that you had been kidnapped, like some seed of a memory down in there, wouldn't you then
Starting point is 00:49:22 take it the onus on you? If you, you know, you're in Vietnam, you're obviously away from your captors, your kidnappers, wouldn't you like, get away? But that's the crazy thing about some of these stories, is when you are kidnapped at such a young age and you're so malleable, you really can't, are susceptible to, what do they call that? Beth Dombkowski Stockholm Syndrome. Jared Saskar Stockholm Syndrome, where all of the sudden your kidnappers are your saviors, you're with them, we're all on the same team, we're doing this together. And a child like that, it's like, it's every parent's worst nightmare that all of a sudden, bam, gone.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Beth Dombkowski Snatched. Jared Saskar Snatched, right? And no sign whatsoever. And in 1951, I can promise you that if a woman, they weren't checking anybody on flights, there was no ID, you just had a ticket and you walked on and that was it. And if you had a child, I'm sure there was zero assumption that that child wasn't yours, right? So, it was an easy getaway. And once she gave it to someone else, gave the child to someone else, what else is there to say? It's gone.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I love this story. I love that he got to meet some of his family members, especially his brother before he passed away. What an incredible story, and I hope he has a whole new life. It reminds me of that, my 600 pound life or whatever, oh, my big, fat, fabulous life. You know that show? I've seen that. Okay. There's that Whitney girl, right? I think we were talking about this a couple
Starting point is 00:50:47 months back, how people were egging her house and stuff like that. Oh, right. I don't watch it much anymore. I think it's very formulaic and there's reasons. I have other, I have better stuff. I'm watching Brassic now. I like that better. And that show about the Menendez brothers. Oh. Oh, ugh. I saw that.
Starting point is 00:51:02 We'll talk about that next episode. I want to talk about that. Okay. But I am telling you what, this girl, her dad for 37 years, so she has a mom and dad. The mom and dad are very lovely people, very Southern, very lovely, very conservative it seems like, but they're on the show a lot and they're lovely. And when his mom, her mom passes away, very suddenly, very quickly, she passes away and she passes away, it breaks the whole family apart. And then the dad decides to hit them all with a bomb. I had a child before your mother came along. I had a child and it was raised by someone else. Pete
Starting point is 00:51:49 Wow. Jared And now that child has contacted me and I know that your mother would have wanted me to see my child, right? I haven't seen her in many years. She's contacted me, she figured it out, and it's like a big bomb across the family. But now all the family is like all together, they have like a whole new purpose, a whole new life. And so, the little that I've watched of this, I can only say that what a blessing that the mother passed away, but now Whitney, this girl, and the father have this whole new family that they can rely on, that is extra support, that is extra love, that has just a little touch of, it just really tickles my balls in all the right places.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I have a friend that that happened to as well. What happened to? Well, they did the DNA test stuff and were contacted by a whole other family that they didn't know that they had. Geez, can you imagine? Yeah, a half sister. Makes me think. Maybe I'll be contacted by somebody and say,
Starting point is 00:52:39 your real parents are wolf walkers. Oh, what was the one. You're a Kennedy. Lauren Ruffin Well, I was going to say, what was the story that we talked a little while back about how these people found out that they were entitled to be a prince or something like that? Jared Svelter Oh, yeah, there was like a, yeah, oh, the Lamborghini lady. Lauren Ruffin Right, right, the Lamborghini.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Jared Svelter The Lamborghini lady? Right, right, the Lamborghini. The Lamborghini lady, who all of a sudden took a blood test and figured out she was like 100% Lamborghini. And she's like, well, give me my money. Wouldn't that be awesome? If I was like some Irish, you know, I don't know. Prince. Prince. I don't think they have princes in Ireland.
Starting point is 00:53:20 You're a potato heir, an heir to a potato fortune, to the O'Malley potato fortune. Unfortunately, we're bankrupt because we no longer grow potatoes here. But one day, you were rich. About five years ago, had you gotten in, you would have been a billionaire. We decided to contact you for money, not because we wanted to give you money. You're a famous podcaster now and 78 of your siblings need money. And then I'd say, well, I got to stop podcasting. My parathyroid won't let me. Parathyroid done gone crazy. It's really unfortunate. I guess we're all shit out of luck. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Alright. You never know though until you take the test. That's true. I won't do it. I know. You're cute. I've done it. I know. Well, I mean, I don't know why I even give a shit. My twin brother has done it. So it's not like I'm getting away from it. And it's not like all of our information isn't stolen and being sold everywhere.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I know. I just get so nervous. You know, DNA is not rock solid. I'm getting away from it. And it's not like all of our information isn't stolen and being sold everywhere. I know, I just get so nervous. DNA is not rock solid. It's not a rock solid science. What are you nervous about? I am nervous that someone is going to take my blood and splatter it all over some crime scene. And then I'm gonna take my DNA
Starting point is 00:54:39 and then splatter it all over some crime scene. And then I'm gonna be left hanging out with P. Diddy. Oh. all over some crime scene and then I'm gonna be left hanging out with P. Diddy. Oh, well, you know, like you said your twin brother is on it, so. Yeah. You would have. Even though we're fraternal, even though we're fraternal, we probably have like very similar DNA.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Yeah. Oh yeah, you do. Yeah. I mean, same dad, same mom, same time. It's got to be very similar, right? Yes, it is. Speaking of P. Diddy, that guy's never getting out of jail. He shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:55:08 He's not. He's not. He's never going to get out of jail. He's got up on the rabbit hole. Oh, yeah. It's hard. I think we're just the tip of the iceberg right now. Me too. Me too. Yeah. There's no celebrities talking about it. None. Not Jay-Z, not Oprah, not Justin Bieber, not the Kardashians, not Paris Hilton. I notice they're all very quiet right now.
