Well, hey there, cats and kittens. Welcome back to another enthralling episode of TCB season roulette. I've been calling a TCB season lottery. I should have called it TCB season roulette from the beginning. Man, does that roll off the tongue? What was I thinking? Nothing I can do now. The episodes are out the door.

And it's entirely too much effort for me to go back and do it again. So I look at the mirror and I say to myself, Pishaw, Brian, Pishaw. What that means, I have no. earthly idea. But it's what my very first girlfriend in fifth grade said to me. As she broke my heart, broke up with me, and started dating the star football quarterback. My life might seem like a bag of peanuts here on the commercial break, but I'm telling you what, I am a sad sack. It has been nothing but misery since the day that that girl broke up with me. I'm still keeping an eye on you.

You know who you are. You know who you are. Any hoodles, doodles. Chrisie and I continue our consistent theme of season number seven, which is, let's go on vacation every three weeks. In all seriousness, it's been a mishmosh, mixed bag in season number seven. As Chrissy and I have had a number of personal and professional obligations that have kept us a little inconsistent on the new fresh episodes for the commercial break. But we plan for this vacation, so you've gotten at least one fresh episode every week. And the TCB season roulette rolls on with season number five. I am pulling an absolutely random episode from my server, from each season. For the six episodes I needed to put together while we were away.

To remind the viewers at home, I have no idea what is coming up after I turn off this microphone, but I've been keeping myself posted on what I've picked so far, and I think I've done a damn good job. I'm not good at much, but picking random things, I'm really good at that. If there was a professional random picker, I might be that guy. All right, we love you very much. We'll be back next week. You get a fresh episode tomorrow, and then season number six, I think I am going to pick the episode

because I know exactly which one I would send your way. Let's surprise each other on this one. What in the world where Brian and Chrissy up to in 2024? My life-changing slogan for 2024 is, I'm sorry, I'm not accepting criticism at this time. Oh, you didn't put enough salt in this.

I'm sorry, I'm not accepting criticism at this time. You scratched my car. I'm sorry, I'm not accepting criticism. You just punched my wife. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm not actually accepting criticism at this time. And I know there will be people listening to this going, that's quite toxic of you.

And to you, I say, I'm sorry, I'm not accepting criticism at this time. On this episode of the commercial break. If you're the person who just shows up, maybe occasionally carries some luggage, and then everything else is taken care of for you, you are the travel princess in that relationship. And enjoy it. And enjoy it. If it's working.

Yeah. It's a privilege. It's an honor to be a travel princess. I wear that badge with color. I love it. I think it's great. I am a travel princess, as I will repeat, as I am in much of my life. I am an entitled human being, and I'm entitled to have my trips planned for me.

The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Ah, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this incredibly mediocre podcast. Chris and Joy Holtley, best to you, Chris. Nice to you, Brian. The best of you out there in the podcast universe. I hope you had a nice Father's Day, all of you fathers out there.

Yes. Happy Father's Day to you. Oh, thank you. Father many times over. I know. Did you get lots and lots of presents like 30? Yeah. I don't know because we're recording this before Father's Day, but I would imagine that.

I was going with it. Okay, thank you. I'd pull back the sheet just a little bit. But it's close. We're very close to Father's Day. We're just a day or two away. Yeah, I imagine I'll get like. I'll probably sleep in.

That's nothing strange. I'll sleep in. That's nothing that doesn't happen on the daily basis. I don't sleep in really, really late. But, you know, I'm a little bit later

than Aster than some of the kids. But, you know, I always say if I could get a massage and watch a little bit of golf on Father's Day, I'll feel happy. That's a good day for me. And then I just want to play with the kids.

Like, I honestly just want to, you know, have fun. I do like playing with the kids. I really do. There's so much fun to play with. They really are. Yeah. They're a nightmare. You know,

Yeah. They're a nightmare. Okay. Don't worry, Des. I still want you to have kids. Desbishop.net. Thanks, Dese for coming in. We certainly appreciate it. What did I want to say? I wanted to say that, you know, the people who have puppies will, who have had puppies, this will certainly resonate with them. There's something called the witching hour, sometimes called the crazy hour, sometimes called the, like, whizzies or something, the whirlies, the whitties. Like quantum hour? Yeah, it's the quantum hour.

Throw in a little barking and some twisting and turning, shitting on the floor right before bed. It's called puppy hour. Quantum witch has declared it puppy hour. Yeah, we call it Crazy Hour around here. And the kids do the exact same thing. And so here's what the scientists say about the legitimate thing called the Crazy Hour. Let's just call it the Crazy Hour. It's when your dog right before bed, right before sunset usually, goes crazy.

Just starts running around the house, jumping on things. The dog, the puppy. Okay. not the kids. Well, the kids too, but I'm saying the dog. Scientists believe that they're essentially fighting that. It's like that last bit of energy. They're fighting going to sleep.

Yeah. I've had plenty of dogs in my lifetime, and I don't think I've ever seen the crazy hour. You've never seen crazy hour? You've never had crazy hour. I think it's a blue thing. It's not a blue thing. That's for sure. Blue has crazy hour every hour of the day.

Right. That's maybe, yeah. But you should like Google it. It's a thing. But people let people videotape it. You know, they whizz around. They go back and forth and back and forth. to back and forth, they bite things, they bark, they twist and turn.

And it's like a physiological response to not wanting to go to sleep. They don't know how to manage that last bit of energy. So they just go crazy. Again, we're talking about the dog and not the kids. Talking about the dog or the kids. I'll apply. Yes. But I was sharing with my friend, he says to me, hey man, let's go out.

We'll go grab a beer. Well, it's right during bedtime. And I'm like, listen, it's crazy hour around here. Because right before bed, that hour before bed, those kids get fucking nuts. Oh, well, that's what I was thinking. You were talking about the kids. I've seen that happen. Yes.

And Chrissy, I can't, it's like the hour that my head just wants to explode. Because not only are they tired and just letting all that energy out, but I'm tired. But I'm a full ass-grown man. And so for me, I know how to manage that. I just lay my head on the pillow and go to sleep. For them, it's like, you know, they fight it every inch tooth and nail. Everything is an argument. Everything is a fight.

Every parent will resonate with this. Toddlers, small children, fuck them. You know that, you know that. You know that book? Go the fuck to sleep. Go the fuck to sleep. It's really funny. That was written by a parent who understands where I am at, understands where I'm at.

Because your patience and your tolerance for all of that is just thrown out the window. You just had dinner. The baths are done. You just want them to go the fuck to sleep. But they won't do it. And I don't understand how I get them to go to sleep. So I'm going to call the doctor and ask for Xanax like I did with Blue. Is that legal?

Can I give the kids Zanax? I don't think so. No, it's not. Of course not. But they have the kid melatonin stuff. Yeah, we... In emergency situations. I'll admit, there have been occasions mainly on flights or international travel when we have,

like, little, you know, whatever they call, kid melatonin on standby in case of an emergency situation, especially when you travel international, when the schedules are all screwed up. And they, they, I think they do better with jet lag than adults do because their body adjust really quickly and ours take a little bit of time. But I'm telling you what, it's, it is a nightmare to go to sleep. I hate that 7 to 8 o'clock hour because I just want them to go to sleep so I get work done, watch a movie, have any piece of quiet whatsoever. And they go crazy.

I want you to come over and you deal with it. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. I thought you're my best friend. I thought you're supposed to be with me through thick and thin. You are my rider die. I'll take a night.

I will take a night. I will take a night. I want you to take a month. of nights. That's what I want. Let my wife and I have some cuddle time alone without children jumping up in the bed because they're scared. We'll start with a night. Okay, start with a night and then I'll lock you in that room. You can take care of it. They're hungry. They're tired. They need another glass of water. I mean, how many glasses of water do you need before you go to bed? Well, and then they're going

to have to pee. Oh, forget about it. One night, one of my kids is on this water kick. I need some water. I need some more water. I need some more water. I need some more I need some more water. And so I keep giving the kid water because I think, well, part of your, part of your parenting is about what you think is right or wrong at guiding your child. And part of your parenting has to do with the guilt you feel if something should go wrong, should you not pay attention to what they're asking you to do. So it's just like those damn boo-boos. When my kid says they have a boo-boo, but there's clearly no boo-boo there, you put the boo-boo on because you don't want your kid to grow up and think, I had a bunch of boo-boos and my daddy

never took care of me. Right? And so I just keep a given the the kid water, but I keep saying, like, hey, settle down. You're going to have to pee. You're going to have to pee. You're going to have to pee. No, no, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine. No, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine. Two hours later, wake up and the entire bed, it's like we're swimming in pee. The entire bed. The entire king-sized bed is just soaking wet. And I was like, holy shit, kid. You got a bladder, first of all. Second of all. And then, of course, Astrid wakes up and who does she blame first? Me, because I gave the kid water. And I'm like, what'd you want me to do? Let the kid go dehydrated? And she's like, Brian, the kids live in an air-conditioned house. They drink water all day long. I'm giving them juice and snacks all day long. They're not going to die if they don't have some water.

And I said, but what if they do die because they don't have water? Then I'm going to feel guilty. Fucking nightmare every time. Oh, wow. You know, I got hit by a car today. I know. Isn't that insane? Holy shit, that's crazy. I mean, I walk in the door today. You're like, I just got hit by a car. I just got hit by a car. I was taking a watch. sometimes I go over to Starbucks and I'll walk there. It's like a two mile round trip.

And so it's a nice way to get the day started. I'll listen to something on the headphones. No drama. No kids asking for water. No dog's barking. None of the whizzies. None of the crazy hour. I just walk up to Starbucks and I walk back.

And at one point, you have to cross a street. It's not a particularly busy street, but it's also not like a side street. So they have a dead man's lane, a suicide lane in the middle, you know, one of those turning lanes. And so I'd look both ways like any, you know, human who's, ever been on earth looks both ways before you cross the street. I look both ways. There's no cars coming either direction and I start walking into the middle of the street to go to another street. And as I get into the dead man's lane, all of a sudden out of nowhere, some lady is pulling into

the dead man's lane and she's coming at me quick. Now, I say quick, it's probably only five or ten miles per hour. But when you have a car coming right at you at five or ten miles per hour, I mean, she came up on me quick. And I didn't know what to do. And so my cat-like reflex. just went into action. I put my hands on the hood and I pushed myself off to the side. And so I avoided any kind of any kind of injury. Right. I don't feel like I had any injury. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. And so I jumped. She rolls down the window. She says, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm assuming that she was Latina because she also was saying like Los Santo, Los Santo. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And she kept on saying soul, soul, soul, like the sun. Like the sun was in her eyes. And, you know, part of driving during the day,

is the sun is going to be out. That's one of those things that you got to pay attention to. But I was clearly in the middle of the street and she came out of nowhere. She just literally came upon me. Scary, scary shit. So then there's a couple cars that stop. One guy is telling me to call the police and I'm like, no, no harm, no foul. I don't know what this lady's situation is. I don't know where she lives, who she comes from, what her family is. But I don't want to ruin her life potentially over something that didn't hurt me. Right. I just told her to, I'm like, just you got to be more careful. Like, watch where you're going. There's people walking all over these streets. In my mind, I was like in Grand Theft Auto, jumping over the hood of a car.

I probably looked like Biden doing the Juneteenth dance. I probably looked like an old man falling off his walker to the side. Do you know what I'm saying? In my mind, it was the coolest thing that ever happened. In everybody else's mind, that old man just got hit. Oh, my God. It was, thank God. Yeah. Thank God. I'm glad you're okay. I could have died, Chrissy. I'm going to milk this for all it's worth. I could have. I'm going to go out and tell Astrid. I could not be here right now. You should really think you should really give you a great Father's Day gift. Yeah. I want a two-hour massage. Astrid was walking at the same time I was with groceries and things and kids and you're telling me you always got hit and she's like, aye. Yeah. Then she's

getting the groceries out. Why? Yeah, she's like, well? I got a bag of potatoes from Costco. What do you want for lunch? She's probably thinking to herself, I was this close, this close to getting rid of him. Oh, no, Marguerite, that's a me asterid. You didn't finish the job. I'm not paying you. Okay, bye. That's right.

Oh, it was scary. Of course. Yeah. Oh, I mean, you, you versus a car, a human versus a card doesn't win. No one's winning that one. No human is winning that one. A car coming at you at any speed is pretty scary. I mean, you know, people die all the time getting hit, I'm sure, on slower speeds. Because what happens is if you're not expecting it, I would imagine what, I mean, luckily, out of the corner on my eye, I caught it, I stared right into it, and then I just put my hands down and just kind of jump to the side. But, you know, you get hit and then you smack your head on the ground or something like that. Like bad things happen all the time, just like that. And I understand a little bit when they, you know, you get hit and then you smack your head on the ground or something like that. Like bad things happen. And I understand a little bit. And I understand a little bit. And when they, say like your life flashed before your eyes, my life flashed before my eyes. And I said to myself, well, you did the best you could. It wasn't so great, but you did the best you could. I thought to

myself, is the commercial break all is going to be left of me in the world? It's your legacy. My legacy is 600 hours of bad comedy. I tried though. It really was. It was very scary. I know. Very happy you're okay. Well, thank you, Chrissy. At least someone gives a shit about me. I do. You know, I hit someone with my car one time. I think I've told this story here. It was a late night. It was the 23rd of December. Actually, it was the 24th of December, so it's overnight. It's probably like 1 o'clock in the morning. I had worked a shift at the restaurant. This is many years ago. Worked to shift at the restaurant. I came home and I was sharing a car with my roommate. Actually, it was her car. She let me drive it. Let me be clear about that. It wasn't my car.

It was her car. Let me drive it. We live downtown. We didn't, you know, there wasn't like a ton of stuff that we needed to do with the car. So there was, we had this Saturn that sat out front that we could, you know, whoever used it, used it, right? You just grabbed the keys and you went. So I went to sleep probably about midnight. I had left the TV on. I wake up sometime at the past one o'clock in the morning. And there is a McDonald's commercial that's on right as I wake up. And they're like showing a milkshake and fries, right? The whatever they go, the candy cane milkshake and fries. I forget what it was. But I was hungry. I had to have it. I was hungry, and I knew that the McDonald's down the street was open 24 hours a day.

How did I know that? Because I probably ate there twice a day. I mean, you know, I was a kid living on, you know, pittance, basically, in the restaurant industry because I wasn't a very good waiter. And so I jump in the car and I ride down the street and there's a stoplight where I have to take a left to get to the McDonald's. So I ride down this residential street. I stop at the stoplight. This is downtown Atlanta. And when I say downtown Atlanta, it's not the nicest part of downtown Atlanta. at the time, right? It's over right near Ponce. So before the Pond City Market and all of that. Right, the revitalization. This is like right next door to the police station in Atlanta was the worst possible place in Atlanta.

You would think that they would like take care of the backyard, right? But it just, there was a lot of drama going on in that part of town, especially late at night. And so as I took the left hand turn, someone ran out in front of me, like into the blind spot and I hit them with my mirror. with the side of the mirror. And the mirror actually cracked. It came off, right?

So I hit them hard enough that they, that the mirror cracked. But as I pulled out and took a left and then I saw them and I tried to swerve, the mirror got cracked. I turned all the way around, busted a Ui, and went up on the curb, went up on the sidewalk, stopped the car, jumped out, and no one was there. She had run away, right? She, he had run away. I'm not really sure. and within two seconds, there were like five police officers right up on me. And what had happened was one of the police officers, two of the police officers actually

had been sitting in the gas station parking lot across the street. And they had seen me take the U-turn and go up on the curb. But they had not seen me hit the person. So as soon as they get up on me, I got my hands up in the air. You know, everyone's getting out all crazed and, you know, because I get in the car, hands out, hands up, hand out. screaming, yelling, you know, and I'm like, oh my God, you know, hands on guns. And I'm like, holy shit, holy shit.

I was just going to see if she was okay. I was just going to see if she was okay. And the officer comes up and he, you know, puts me in handcuffs. And he's like, what are you saying? And I said, I was just going to see if she was okay. And he goes, who? And I go, the lady that I hit. And he goes, what?

You hit a lady? Wow. And I was like, wow, I should have kept my mouth shut on that one. Well, they looked and they looked and they never found. They didn't find any blood on the street. There was no one that they ever found. You know, they, I was sitting in a. a parking lot for probably two hours while they tried to find this person that I had hit and

they never found them. So I hope. Damn McDonald's. I know. Damn fucking McDonald's. I swear on all that's holy. And that was a scary thing. Like it really was very scary to hear that noise like of the someone hitting the car. Right. It was it was scary. But you know, I'm assuming everything is okay because I probably would have heard about it had not everything been okay. But you know, you got to be careful when you're driving. That's the bottom line, Chrissy. Now you've messed up, too, the mirror on the shared car. Oh, yeah. That was not a good day in roommate history. He really were cursing McDonald's.

That was not a good day in roommate history when she had to bail me out of jail. It was like a whole fucking thing. It really was. So anyway, to the lady who hit me, God bless you, child. May you pay attention and may you get a pair of sunglasses. Yeah, maybe this is she needed to, like, you know, jog herself into really paying attention. Yeah. She had one of those, when she rolled down the window, she had one of those sun visors on the side of her window, the kind that you stick on the window. She had it on her driver's side window. So she had to rip it down to roll her window down.

Her window. Her window. Roll that window down. Roll that window down right now, young lady. You don't hit me. At my fan stage, I could have broken a hip. I think I did break a hip. call your insurance company

I should have milked up for some insurance money but you know I should have fallen on the ground like a soccer player and I just flopped around on the ground oh my hip my kidneys I'm feeling pretty shitty take me to one of those gyropractors you see on TV have you been injured in a car accident

call 1-1-1 1-1 J and associates or whatever it was yeah but you know I'm not an ambulance chaser no harm no fault at the end of the day like why am I going to ruin somebody life. The insurance premiums go up. Who knows what their personal situation is? You know, maybe they don't, maybe they're not supposed to be driving. Maybe they are supposed to be driving. You know, whatever. I just didn't feel like I wanted to. Maybe she'll take that sun visor off the window.

Well, after herinder, well, you know what I'm thinking about it. Yeah. Now that she, yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, she was taking a left, she probably didn't see me. Yeah, because of the visor. I should have called the police. I probably could have gotten at least a thousand dollars for my troubles, right? You could try and do this again tomorrow and then see. Same bad. same bad channel. I'm just going to stand there and wait until she comes there. They're going to run out on the left-hand side of the car so she can't see me because of her sun-vise. Yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, like this all just happened, by the way, within the last hour. So now that I'm thinking about it, yeah, I guess you should not have a sun-visor on blocking your ability to see out your actual window.

Yes, that is correct. Yeah. Huh. Well, okay. What are you going to do? It's all over and done with now. What am I going to do? All right. I'm just glad you're okay. Thank you very much. I'm glad I'm okay too. So if I seem a little frazzled today, maybe not on top of my game, that's why I'm having it. Also, you need to show me how to work everything here in the studio now. Oh, yeah.

You know, I thought about that the other day for some weird reason. I'm like, what if I just like something happens to me? Who's going to actually figure out how to get to all of this stuff? I mean, Christina knows, you know, a lot of stuff, but just, you know, everything. No, she doesn't. And part of me, like, why bother telling any, like, what is the value in any of this stuff anyway. Just grab the server and, you know, take it to the local, I don't know, who those guys, the geek squad, take it to the geek squad. Right. Okay. Tell them,

please don't arrest anybody. There's some bad episodes on there. We'll talk about that. Yeah, we'll talk about that. All right, I want to take a break, and when we get back, I got a great topic to talk for you that I think is blowing up the internet right now, and I'd be interested to hear your opinion on this. Okay. And it has nothing to do with incest sex. So there you go. That's good. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. We'll be back. You make this rather snappy, won't you? I have some very heavy thing you can do before 10 o'clock. Hi, cats and kittens, Rachel here. Do you ever get the urge to speak endlessly into the void? Like Brian? Well, I've got just the place for you to do that. 212-433-3-3-Tcb. That's 212, 433-3822.

Feel free to call and yell all you want. Tell Brian, I need a race. compliment Chrissy's innate ability to put up with all his shenanigans, or tell us a little story. The juicier, the better, by the way. We'd love to hear your voice because Lord knows we're done listening to ourselves. Also, give us a follow on your favorite socials. At the commercial break on Insta, TCB podcast on TikTok. And for those of you who like to watch, oh, that came out wrong.

We put all the episodes out on video. YouTube.com slash the commercial break. And TCBPodcast.com for all the info on the show. Your free sticker? Or just to see how pretty we look. Okay, I got to go now. I've got a date with my dog. No, seriously, Axel needs food.

Today is pork chop day. Travel princess. Have you heard the term? No. Okay. Travel princess is going around the talk and the gram and all that stuff right now. The term travel princess. I can guess what it means. I guess.

The very princessy travel. You have to be pampered. along the way. I don't know. It sounds, you know. Chrissy, you're amazing. Well, when you call somebody a princess, you know. No, you almost got it. You're getting onto the, you're sniffing up the right, you're sniffing up the right light pole there. Travel Princess in this regard refers to the person in the relationship who does nothing

but show up at the airport and get on the plane and the other person plans everything down to the tea. And Astrid sent me, I've seen this been, this has been going around for a month or two, or maybe even longer. But I think Jeff may be the travel princess. Oh, I'm the travel princess. Guilty. Now that I'm thinking about, I want to be the travel princess, though. But you're not. No, because I like to plan it. Yes, that's it. See, there you go. Asher and I had this big debate yesterday because she sent me one of the reels and she says, you are definitely the travel princess in this relationship.

And I argued for about five seconds before I realized, yes, I am the travel princess. But I explained to her, listen, before you came along, I did. plenty of travel and I did fine on my own, right? I knew how to pack a bag. I mean, poorly, but I knew how to pack a bag. I knew how to get on a plane. I knew how to show up at the airport on time. I could plan my own trips, you know, the hotel, the cab, the whatever, rent a car, whatever needed to be done. And I've been on plenty of business trips where I do my own, well, some business trips I do on my own. Not all of them. But I said to Astrid, you like to plan this stuff. That's your thing. That's your lane. You love it. You love the ability to get in there,

dig in, find the details, and plan something out. Research. Yeah. Compare notes. I think there's a fundamental way. There's a fundamental difference between Astrid and I, and that is, I am okay, just showing up somewhere and figuring out what we do next. I don't need to necessarily have every bit of it planned out. Astor doesn't need to have every minute planned out, but if she could have a general sense

of what we're going to do on a daily basis, she feels better about it. Yeah. That's the way I feel, too. Get the bones there. Yeah. So you're the person who plans every person. everything in the relationship. And when did that start early on? Did Jeff seed control of the travel planning to you? I think so. Yeah. Now that I think about it. See? See? But I would bet if I talk to

Jeff about this. Jeff would say I would be okay doing this kind of stuff. But I just like to give the control to Chrissy because I know she likes to plan that stuff. Well, we just, I mean, it's very apropos that we're talking about this because we just had this discussion yesterday because I've been the one planning all the trips and things and whatever. And I like it because I want to find cool things and have Jeff be like, this is the best. That's so fun. And yes, and we found something off the beat and path because I like to really research and look at different blogs and reviews and things about hotels and what to do in the different cities. However, this one trip that we're taking upcoming to Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest is there's so many puzzle pieces here.

planes, trains, ferries. Oh, really? Automobiles, hotels, different things. And it's really kind of stressed me out. So I know I told Jeff, I said, look, because we're, we try and take a trip in the winter, like January, February. Yeah. Or then, and also June, July, because of his work schedule with the festivals and all of that. Those are the two times of the year that he can get away and feel okay about it.

Okay. So I said for our winter one, it's you. Here you go. This is the place, I think, that we've wanted. to go and you go for it. You play it. Oh, really? This is a test.

Will Jeff pass or fail the test? What great is Jeff going to get? I want an honest answer once all of the travel is concluded. I want to hear what the honest answer was. Do you pack Jeff's bag? Partially, yes. See, this is, Jeff and I are married to the same woman. I'm sure of it.

I'm sure of it. Yeah, he just doesn't do the shirts right with the role. I know. I don't do the shirts right. And I pack too many. t-shirts and you know why do you have to have some whittle down the stuff too yeah it's a whole fucking drama every time so now i have reshaped my entire packing persona based on whether or not aster's going to yell at me right that i have too much shit and you know what to be fair to her

99% of the time i'm an overpacker i've always been an overpacker if i go somewhere i am too when it comes to close yeah because you don't know no you never know that's the thing you don't know Like the weather and the situation and what you're going to need. When. You have to be prepared. Yes. I agree with you on this. It's worth the extra drama to lug a couple extra pounds around so that I have that thing that I need to wear.

Because there's nothing like, there's nothing quite as, I guess, disappointing. It's showing up, unpacking all your stuff. Then you get an invite to go somewhere. You do something and you're like, well, shit, I don't have the right clothes for that. I don't have a nice tie to wear to dinner. or I don't have a jacket so that we can go up in the mountains. I mean, I can't tell you how frustrating that is for me. It is.

So I like to just pack just in case. And I pack three underwears per day. And I know that's way too much. Like we went to Spain for a month last year. I knew that I was going to have the access to a washer and dryer in some of the places that we went. There would be places throughout the month where I would be able to stop and wash clothing. So that made me a little less nervous. I knew that I would be able to at least clean the clothes so I could recycle them a little bit.

I figured if I put a week's worth of clothing in there, then that would be good. But a week's worth of clothing for all situations. Hot, cold, Swingers Resort. I wanted to make sure it was all there. Raining. Yes, raining. I had to bring my Volkswagen-sized pocket pussy just in case. You know, I had to do a whole thing.

I had to make sure. Swingers Resort, you don't need clothes. That was light packing on that. I am telling you what. I am telling you what. I would love to go experience that just for one weekend. Not that I wanted to get involved necessarily, but I would just like to be there. Yeah.

That's the one regret that I have about being married. And I have no regrets about being married. But I have one regret that I didn't do when I wasn't married. And that is go to one of those like hedonism or something like that just to check it out, just to see what it's all about. Because I have friends who have gone. They were. They were down in Jamaica where we just were. And they had those boats that would come by.

The hedonism? Yeah. And all the Jamaican staff that we were talking to and made friends with while we were there. They said, oh, yeah, the naked boat. The naked boat comes by. Everybody loves to look. Chrissy, I have had friends who have gone there and they're like twice as wild as you think it would be. Twice as wild as you think it would be.

And I was like, it's named hedonism. I have a pretty clear thought in my mind about what it is. There's a bunch of dicks and vaginas out there just going at it. Yeah, everybody just partying. Yeah. Oh, the jacuzzi at midnight, you know, go to the, I don't know, where the palm bushes and fuck behind them. One of my friends said it was literally a fuck fest the entire time. Was this Marlon? Well, Marlon went. Yeah. Marlon went, but he went with his then girlfriend, I think.

I wish I had a Marlin update for us. I really do. Maybe I'll see if I can dig one up. But I think that our part of his problem in his, that relationship, was the commercial break. Or you're talking about it. because you remember, I think she got on, I think she caught on. Yeah. But yeah, so I pack for a week when we're going to Spain. Well, plenty of people I think that are, that go to those two are married. Tehadenism and stuff like that?

Well, I mean, swingers isn't that really kind of you're swinging. You've got a partner. You're going to switch partners. Yes. I think there are swingers. You need to work on Astrid is what I'm saying. I know, because, no. No, no.

She's my forever girl. take your forever girl to go get fucked by somebody else. You know what I'm saying? You take your girlfriend who's a little wild on the side in your late 30s. That's what you do. That's what you do. You go there when you have that partner who's just willing to try anything. Right. And because they are willing to try anything, they're certainly not your forever, but you're okay for right now. And you go, well, if I'm going to do this with anybody, I'm going to do it with this one because she's crazy. But I don't think, no, that's just not an absolute style. No. All right, well, you've missed the boat.

We've talked about it. Yeah, we will. Get on the naked bus. Get on the naked bus. You know, you kind of got a taste of things at the party in the woods. That is definitely as close as I've ever come. Yes. It was skirting.

It was skirting the edges. I did have a 10-person golf cart one night riding around and everyone was completely naked. I mean, it was insane. You had a brush. I end up fresh with hedonism. Yes. But back to my travel princess. I'm a travel princess.

No doubt about it. Astrid plans everything. She plans everything and she does it really well. So why bother? I think you have to kind of give up control. Because, I mean, if two of you are trying to do it at the same time and the same thing. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Yeah, too many.

Too many cooks in the kitchen. One person just has to kind of take the reins. Yeah. So I do in some sense that the tail is wagging the dog in some sense because I just, she comes to me and she says, okay, on the third we're going to do this and then on the fifth we're going over here and then on the 10th we're staying at this hotel. What do you think? Yeah. I do the same thing with Jeff. I'm like, do you like this? Here's pictures and things of the hotel. What do you like this one or that way? I'll get his input, but for the most part. One of the things that I think has been a real plus. in my relationship with Asterd. And I'm sure Jeff would agree with this. And probably a lot of men or women understand this feeling.

It's that when you get to a certain point in your life, when you've had a few long-term relationships and you've seen the foils and the foibles and the problems that occur during relationships, you learn that there are lanes that you stay in and there are hills that you die on. And some you just don't die on. There's no reason to start a fight over.

this. There's no reason to argue where. Yeah. So when it comes to travel, Astrid is good at it. She's really good at planning all of those details and making sure everybody has their passports and that everything's up to date and that the paperwork is there and that we, you know, that we have the hotel reservation and the car is ready for us when we get to this airport. She's really good at that. Why would I die on that hill? Why in the world would I get in the middle of that? You don't need to. I don't. I can be a travel princess. That's okay. I'm a princess in so many other parts of my life. Why not just extend it to traveling? Right. I literally am a pampered. asshole. That's what I am. I'm a pampered asshole. I take the late shift I get to sleep in an extra hour or two every single day. Sometimes my kids even bring my coffee right to my bed so that I don't even have to go anywhere. Yeah, if I tell my kids, if I say, hey, son, run and grab me my coffee. It's in the refrigerator. He will do it and he'll bring it back to me lickety-split. They love it. It's the most, they love it. It's a chore. They did a task for daddy. And then I say, now leave me alone while I go to the bathroom. Can you, can we skip the morning press conference to it?

Of course, that never happens. But okay, whatever. So I'm pampered in so many other parts of my life. Travel is just yet another place where I'm really lucky. I'm just a lucky bastard that I have someone that can do all of that for me. Yeah, might as well. Now, I'm hoping what I, what I'm trying to, to not do with Jeff taking the reins on this other trip next year is be like, have you done this? Have you found the hotel? Have you looked at it? Have you called your friend that lives there that? Have you done that? Have you done it? I caught myself yesterday. I was like, okay, stop. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Let this serve as a celluloid reminder. A reminder that you can go back and listen to all the time. And I'll say this to Jeff while I'm at it. If you're going to give him the reins, let him take the reins. I have to do it. And Jeff, if she starts getting up your skirt, you say, hey, my turn. Yeah, my turn. I get to do it my way and you're going to follow along and we're going to have a good time. Yes. You won't go without a roof over your head. I promise we'll get that. I'll get that. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I there on time and we'll have fun things to do when we get there. That's it. That's all you need to know. You just pack. I guarantee you one thing. He's going to let you pack. No, yeah. He's going to let you pack for me. And I'll probably still pack half of his suitcase. Of course you will. Yes. But everything else with the trip, with the whole planning, I'm going to, I just have to give it up. Do you share a suitcase? No. No. Oh, so you each do two suitcases on your own. Yes. Okay. See, that's where we differ.

Where we differ is the suitcases. Astrid puts together one, large suitcase for the both of us. If the trip is longer than four or five days, there's one large suitcase. That's amazing. I need to ask Astrid how she does it. Well, first of all, look at the size of the suitcase. It's like the size of a small house. Well, no, I have a big one too.

Oh, you do? Like one of those big old, rolly ones? Yes. That fit like 80 pounds in there? My dad was like, that should be illegal. They are, I think. You have to pay extra for them. Yeah.

I can't tell you how many times we have had to pay that extra, whatever, $20? Oh, for the over limit. Because it's like five pounds over a limit or two pounds. But there's just at some point you just go, okay, whatever, we're going to pay the $20. But she does manage to get both of our... That's amazing. Now, a lot of times we'll have an extra smaller bag with just shoes in it. It's like the just shoes.

But the difference between your travel and my travel is that I also have to carry seven other suitcases. Well, I was going to say, yeah, that's why. That's right. Because there is a bag limit. There is. One per, two per, per, whatever it is. And with all the 30 kids.

It's a lot. Everyone gets their own suitcase. You know, they have their own little suitcase. I know. And they get so excited about packing them too. Like 10 days before. We're going to my dads for like one night and they're already packing. I know.

I know your son came in here. He had the suitcase. Daddy, I packed my underwear. Okay. We're going in August, but okay. All right. Fine. No problem.

Yeah. Listen, travel princess is a thing. You can go on Instagram or TikTok. You can just, you know, put that in, Travel Princess. And you'll see a lot of examples of people talking about why they are Travel Princesses. And it's just basically boils down to this. If you're the person who just shows up, maybe occasionally carries some luggage and then everything else is taken care for you. You are the Travel Princess in that relationship. And enjoy it. And enjoy it. If it's working. Yeah. It's a privilege. It's an honor to be a travel princess. I wear that badge with color. I love it. I think it's great. I am a travel princess, as I will repeat, as I am in much of my life. I am an entitled human being, and I'm entitled to have my trips plan for me. I think it's something, too, about wanting to know that it's done right, like that actually everything's going to be taken care of. Okay. And in time. Okay.

All right. Are you saying that Jeff or me might not get that done? Should it be in our hand? I don't know. Okay. Well, that's to be seen. We will, Jeff will be. Has Jeff never planned a trip in your entire relationship? No, I mean, he's planned, but, you know, like a trip to the mountains or something, but in the cabin. You want out of the mountains? Yeah. But mostly, yeah, it has been me. We'll call the hotel on the way up there.

I was watching some show and the girl was pregnant and they had like a baby, she's like one of these reality shows. Maybe it was seven little Johnsons or something, but they were having a baby shower. And after the baby shower, after everything's settled, it's just the couple, the girl who's pregnant and her boyfriend. And he says, hey, I got a special surprise for you. And she's like, oh, what's that? And he goes, I want to take you on a baby moon. And she goes, oh, my God, that's so sweet. Where are we going?

He goes, well, wherever you want to, really? And I was like, oh, my God. I would get punched in the face. Wherever you want to. You plan it. And then we're going. We're going. We're going.

I'm taking you on a trip. Where are you? wherever you want to go get my credit card out and just start typing away wherever wherever you plan the trip for that'll be great i can at least do that i can at least find the hotels i can figure that part out but then when it comes to a certain level of detail yeah i agree that aster should be doing that stuff for us on behalf of the family right because there are bigger stakes i mean not that not that anyone is more or less important than anyone else but there are larger things at stake when you have children.

Like you can't be standing in front of a hotel for seven hours trying to figure out exactly when they're going to have the room ready and or is this actually the hotel that we booked. Yeah. And I'll tell you a funny story about the one time, the first time that Astrid booked a trip for us. I'll tell you a funny story. But let's do this. Let's take a break. And we'll be back. Oh, wait, hold on one second. Not yet. Not yet. Oh, and then I have some exciting news at the end of the. at the end of the episode, so stay tuned. Okay, I will. I'll stay right here.

It's going to be the first time Chrissy finds out about it too, so we're all going to find out about it together. All right, I'll be back. We'll be back. You and me, together. Okay, sounds good. You plan it and I'll tell you. You plan when we're coming back and just let me know. Okay.

All right. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple. Astrid asked me to shut Brian up even for a minute. Well, lovely Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid too? You know you do. Leave a message for her, or me, or Chrissy, at 212-4333-3-T-CB.

That's 212-433-3822. You can be on the show too. Mm-hmm. Just call and say something. Anything. Or text us and we'll text your right back. Promise. Then head over to TCB Podcast.com and get your free sticker.

It's your constitutional right to a sticker. And we must abide. You get the point. Follow us on Instagram. at the commercial break and watch all the episodes on video at YouTube.com slash the commercial break. Best to you and Astrid, especially Astrid. All right. So it is, I don't know, maybe Astrid and I have been dating for like six months. And she is off in Switzerland getting her master's degree.

So we're really missing each other and probably a month into her being over in Switzerland. I say, okay, I'm coming over. I remember that. I'm on my way. Yeah. And meet me in Geneva and then we're going to just kind of travel around. One of the places we're going to go is we're going to go to Paris. We're going to take a train down to Paris.

We're going to be there for a number of days. So romantic. I know. It really was. Unbelievably, I pulled that one right out of my ass. Yes, I did. I watched a couple movies and I figured out how to do it. So I, so Astrid says, oh, this is wonderful.

I love it. I'll plan it. Step to Stern. Don't worry about it. You just put your credit card down and we'll figure. out how we get this done. And I'm like, okay, great, wonderful. This is the first, like, trip, trip that we're taking together. We had taken some other trips to, like, I think we went to Disney World. We went to Aruba. But those trips were kind of pre-planned. Like, we just, it kind of came

together organically. It wasn't like one or the other planned it. But this one, she's going to plan. So, we get to Geneva. And it is before you were married. This is before we're married. So it's October. I'll remember that it's in October near Halloween time. And so I fly over to Geneva. She's got the hotel set up. I'd land. I meet her somewhere in Geneva. We take a train to the hotel. It's all very perfect. Like, I was just wonderful. We get to this hotel. It's lovely. It's a lovely hotel. Downtown Geneva. I'm just really happy. Let's go get a cup of coffee. Okay. Hey, in a couple of days, we're going to go to Paris. We're going to stay in Geneva and then we're going to go to Paris. And this is the exciting. This is like the meat and potatoes of the trip. We're excited to go to Paris. Because neither of us had ever been. And so, you know, we're going to see all the sites and do all the things. So I said, hey, where are we staying in Paris? And she says, we're going to stay at the Hilton. The Hilton, Le Congre. The Hilton at the Congress.

And I was like, wow, that's incredible. That's great. Wow. Wow. I don't even know what you're talking about, but Lecombeau sounds fancy, right? And oh, it was a Hyatt, excuse me. And I was like, and it's a Hyatt. You can't go wrong with a Hyatt.

Yeah. No way. And she goes, and it's got a view of the Eiffel Tower. And I'm like, this is delicious. You have really outdone yourself here, Astard. Fantastic. Make sure you get a nice room, you know? Because the secret is I was intending to propose. I know.

So I got really excited about this. So now everything's lining up. We got a view of the Eiffel Tower, not sure where I'm going to do it, not sure how I'm going to do it, not sure when I'm going to do it, but I'm going to do it in Paris. It's got to be in Paris. Yeah, got to be. So we take a train to Paris. We ride first class on a bullet train, on a high-speed train. How fun.

That was lovely. we had a great time. What a great thing. Astrid wanted us to go and coach because she was like, listen, it's a nice train. And any seat in there is going to be nice. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. Only the best for you.

Get the first class tickets. With the Kianti Krasico. By the way, a meal on one of those trains in that first class cabin is akin to like a four-course meal at any restaurant in the United States. It was unbelievable. It was just like the normal. I mean, it's first class, but it's like the service they give you. It was a wonderful ride, and we got to see the countryside.

And so we get there, I don't know, it's four or five hours, something like that. We get there. We take a cab, take us to the Hyatt-Leycong-Gre, and Astrid speaks a little French. And the guy kind of turns around, and he looks at us, and he goes, Hyatt, hi-it. And yeah, yeah, the Hyatt. He goes, oh, okay, all right, I'll take it to the Hyatt. By the way, it just sounded like a Mexican cab driver there. Yeah, that was a bad accent.

That's a bad accent. So we get to the Hyatt. It is this huge hotel. I mean, it is huge. And we walk in the front. It's a little bit older, but it is right there at the Lake Congre at the Congress, right? And we walk in, and the lobby is incredible. It's huge.

It's got 100 foot ceilings or something. I mean, it's just beautiful. It's grand. It's big. You're like, this is the jam. And it's like a circular hotel, right? So it's one big circle. Yeah.

So I'm just so excited. So we get there and we check in and, oh, you know, are you celebrating anything? No, we're just here. You know, it's our first time in Paris. Fantastic. We have a lovely room for you. Oh, that's great. Lovely.

You know, views of the Eiffel Tower. Oh, my God, this is amazing. And then they just say, okay, well, you know, whatever. Philippe is going to take you over to your room, right? And so the bellboy grabs our bags. We go up to the room. He opens the door to show us the room. when we get upstairs, like, into the hallway area, it's like a circular hallway, right?

So he starts walking around this circular hallway, and the doors are very close to each other, and the ceilings are very low. And so I'm already understanding this is like an older hotel, and the lady mentioned to us that the hotel was under renovations. So I was like, oh, great, we got, you know, newly renovated rooms and all this stuff. This guy opens up the door, and Chrissy, the room is no bigger than this table that we're sitting at right now. I mean, it is tiny, tiny, tiny, which is not uncommon in Europe, by the way.

It's just not uncommon. That's right. You know, everything is very compact there. It's all, you know, very dense cities spread out amongst large, you know, farmland or whatever it is, whatever part of Europe that you're in. Farmland. Well, they have farms there, don't they? I know. The countryside.

The countryside. Okay. Sheeps and farms and wheels of parmesan cheese. I'm not sure. How did we go to farmland from the center of Paris? Fondue farms. You know, they have fondue farms out there in Paris. I think that's what they do.

Okay. And wine. I don't know. Graperies. What do they call them? Graperies. Vineyards. Vineyards.

There you go. Graperies. Nice. So we opened up the door and the room is tiny. I mean, it is just really small. Right. But it's my first time in Paris. I'm in the middle of downtown Paris.

I'm not too far. off from the Eiffel Tower. I'm definitely in the district. I'm like, okay, maybe this just is what it is. I am not going to complain because I'm here with the girl that I love and I'm excited about the trip. I'm not going to complain. Not yet anyway. So we get into this room and they have two beds, right, two tiny little beds that they have now pushed together, which is also not uncommon in Europe. I don't know why they do that. Maybe they can't get them up the elevators or something. I don't know. but they don't usually have king-sized beds. So push these beds together, and then you can, sure, you can see the Eiffel Tower.

If you crane your neck around like this, you can see like one half of the Eiffel Tower, and it's not very close. It's probably a mile off in the distance, two miles off in the distance. It's not the best view of the Eiffel Tower. You got to love the hotel for marketing it, though, as view of the Aifel Tower. Well, of course, that's what they're going to do. Yeah. And then we noticed that there's like a blood stain on the carpet.

But there are multiple stains on the carpet, actually. Oh, no. The furniture is from the 70s. The sink is like formaldehyde or for mica or something. It's like weird, you know, everything is old and decrepit and weird. Now, just to give credit where credit is due to the Hyatt, I know they have renovated this place since we've been there. You guys need to go back.

Yeah, we were not on the renovated floor. That's what was going on, right? They hadn't reached that floor yet. So even though we were high up in the building, and yes, you could see the Eiffel Tower, if you managed to catch it in the right light, you know, occasionally. Chrissy, it didn't take me but half an hour to tell Astrid, I'll be right back. And at the time I smoke cigarettes, I told I was going to smoke a cigarette. And I go downstairs.

And I think I've told this story. I beg to get a bigger room. And they say, of course, no problem. We're so sorry about the trouble. And I don't complain. You get much more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. That is true. And so it's all about how you say it.

And I just said, listen, it's an important weekend for me. You know, I think I'm going to propose. I had anticipated the room would be a little bit bigger. Maybe we'd be able to see the Eiffel Tower a little bit clear. You know, whatever we need to do, happy to pay for it. May I please have a larger room with a little bit better view of the Eiffel Tower, to which they accommodate. But what they did was they sent us up to a room that had two of the exact same rooms

connected by one of those doors in the middle. It was the exact same thing. They just put them together. They just opened the door. Yes, it was so weird. And they're like, this is a suite. And I'm like a sweet. This is a sweet.

It's two rooms is what it is. Anyway, it turned out that I had to make some adjustment, some calls on the fly. And we ended up at a very nice hotel over by the ark. And we did this in the middle of the night. We like did it under the radar. And I think I told this story that Astrid dyed her hair. Yes, that's right. Because when Astor did all this planning, one of the things she didn't tell me, until I got there, until we got into Paris,

was that she had planned a photo shoot for us in Paris. A photo shoot. If you know me, you know that photo shoot is on the very last rung of any priority for me. I don't like to have my picture taken. It's not my favorite thing in the world. But I'm with this beautiful young lady who I am falling in love with and I'm like, okay, we'll roll with it. Well, I bet though you were kind of excited because, hey, this could be the proposal.

photos. Yes, it just gave me the thought that I had to do it before the photo shoot. Like, it gave me a deadline. Now I have to do it before the photo shoot. And I think I did it the night before the photo shoot. But we ended up at this beautiful hotel where we ended up getting engaged. But I'm telling you right now is that that didn't leave the best taste in my mouth for Astrid's planning abilities. So I was like, listen, I might have to take this over from now on. Planning in another country can be tricky. She redeemed herself a million times. She was so apologetic and so embarrassed about it. And I was like, how would you fucking, honestly, how would you fucking know? Like, you wouldn't. You're planning something, you know, anything can look good with a little touch up on the photo. Yeah, no, it's, it's kind of, and it's

tricky in planning for other countries. It's very tricky to plan for other countries. Just listen back to the episode where I explain our experience in Spain with all the Airbnbs. It's very tricky to get it right. And that is no fault of the person planning. That's the fault of the people saying that they, you know, there's a five-star luxury house. Yeah. And what you get is a chicken coop in the back of the yard where the chickens just chase you around all night long with no internet phone or television. Unbelievable. I love that story. In the middle of this tiny little village in the middle of the north of Spain.

You know, mile from city center. Mile from city center. How? With a high speed train? I mean, how do you get there? Maybe a mile? Maybe if you fly, but I don't happen to have wings. It took us 25 minutes to get to and from the city center.

Listen, I don't mean to be a bitch about this and to rehash the old grievances I had with this particular house. But I'm telling you what. We're coming up on a year. We're coming up on a year. And I feel like I'm having PTSD from those chickens chasing me all that long as I'm outside trying to find any phone signal whatsoever. That was terrible.

But, you know, when Astrid planned this trip, the first big planning trip and the first hotel, the second hotel that we stay had. It's like, you know, it's kind of, eh. And I was like, well, maybe I should take over from here. But I'm telling you what, there's no doubt in my mind that not only am I a travel princess, but that I am ceding control to the person who is best suited to do this hands down. So now, whenever Astrid, you know, looks at a hotel or looks at a place to stay,

she's always like, is this okay with you? Yes, that's what you do. Is this okay with you? That's what I'm done with Jeff. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, listen, I trust you now. 10 years later, I trust you now.

But maybe it wasn't so great that first hotel in Paris. Oh, it all turned out well. I'm just being an entitled bitch. It all didn't turn out well. Yes. It turned out the best for everybody, I think. Dwight Franklin? I do too.
