You know, my favorite type of weed was uh... cocaine. On this episode of the commercial break... You know, so your ex-girlfriends mom and dad allowed you to move into the house and now you've started this hobby with your ex-girlfriend and her friend the three of you out shopping.

You know what they're doing? They're flirting with you but you're too worried about how many dollars you're going to save on Kleenex to realize that. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh yeah, Kaz and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and beautiful co-host, Kristen Joy, only bestie you, Kristen.

Bestie, Brian. Bestie you out there on the Valkass universe. We have a new king. All hail the king. Dear friend and beautiful co-host, Kristen Joy, only best to you, Chris Hayes. You're best, you're right. I'm best to you out there on the Valkass universe. We have a new king, all hail the king. God save the king. God save the king or all hail the king. I think it's God save the king. Yeah, I think hail has a different leader

in European history. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What a snooze fest. I know. Fucking cares. Honestly.

I mean, I know that it's. I did cares? Honestly, I mean I know that- I did the same thing to Jeff. I kept getting it all throughout my news feed and I was like, I could literally care less. I could, I could care less. The queen, I was like- That being said, I watched stuff on it later, but- Did you watch the thing?

I mean, I watched a little bit of it because it's just who the one to see Prince Louis. Who's Prince Louis? What's that? He's the, he's Kate Middleton. Oh, he's Kate Middleton's kid? And yeah, he's Kate Middleton. Oh he's Kate Middleton's kid. And yeah, he's the third one and he's the he's so funny. Is he cute? He's cute. Yeah. And he does these faces where he doesn't carry it there. You know what Astrid said to me? Kate Middleton has not listened. I don't want this to sound like I'm not hating. I am an old man. So I'm not hating

and I'm just repeating what I heard. But Astrid said she didn't think that she thought the Kate had had really aged because of all the stress of being in the family. And she showed some like pictures like, you know, before and after it. Yeah, I'm sorry. And I agree. It's kind of like being the president, you know, everyone goes gray. Doesn't matter how young you are. Remember Obama, that young, spry kid who went into the office and then eight years later came out a 90 year old man. Look at Bill Clinton. He's like bones now. He doesn't know. And he was getting blow jobs.

Thank God, he was getting blow jobs during his term. I just don't care. I just like, I cared about the queen. And I don't know why I cared about the queen. I guess because everybody else cared about the queen, but the queen to me seemed like a fixture. She was a fixture and yeah, there was some really shitty stuff

that happened under her tenure, having to do with whatever they're, you know, the colonization and the big long arms of the UK war or whatever. But something about the queen, I think because I'm invested, like I got invested in that show. And then I thought it was very interesting. But Charles just seems like a snooze fast. So then I watched this documentary that happens the night of, I didn't actually watch any of the coronation. I just saw the pictures and stuff. And how the king treated his son exactly like a king should treat his son by putting him in the 15th row

of his own coronation. I know. That hairy. He's fucked. He's not going to play in and head it back right away. I would too. They're victim him from his house. They get his fifth row in the coordination.

There are, who was that guy who's touching all the little girls? Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew was further up front than Harry. And he's arguably might be a pedophile. It's unbelievably how these people treat their family in such a public way that there's nothing but hurt that can come from it Including Harry. I got a little advice for Harry Dear Harry, it's Brian at the commercial break. I know you're angry and I know Netflix came to you with a whole fucking shit ton of money

And put it right down on your lap and said here This is because you're never gonna get any of your dad's money. We'll fill the gap and you can do five different seasons of growing up Harry or whatever it was. It's a snooze fest, Harry. It's just the way that families operate. Brothers have fights, fathers make mistakes, mothers aren't always the best. Stepmothers, no one likes, so forget it. No one likes Camilla. Anyways, it doesn't really matter. And while I don't want to demean anything that happened to Megan, that's whatever happened to her from the racial overtones. The whole thing seems dramatic. It seems, wait, dramatic.

It seems to be dramatic and traumatic. Traumatic? Just to be involved in that whole family. I agree. But Harry could have run to California. He probably still could have had a lot of money from a Netflix deal just to film them walking around the house. People would have been interested in that.

They could have been the next Kardashians minus dragging everybody else into it. And I think he really kind of, like I can't think he fucked himself. I don't know that he'll ever be invited back to all the parties and all the gals and maybe he doesn't want to. I don't think he wants it. But don't you all the parties and all the the gallows and maybe he doesn't want I don't think he wants it, but don't you at least want a relationship with your brother and your father?

Yeah, hopefully that you know will be mended, but if not, I don't care. Harry, yeah, I don't either it'll make for good Sun times father Harry when Netflix inevitably pulls your deal when they inevitably pull your, and you're looking for a place to air your grievances, the commercial break is the place to air your grievance. We're ready for you. I'm ready for you, Harry. I know you did Oprah, and then Oprah again.

The next logical step is the commercial break. That's right. Yeah, I can't tell you how many guests have been, went from straight from Oprah to the commercial break. As a matter of fact, our next studio is gonna be on the lot with Oprah. Of Harpo Studios. Of Harpo Studios.

Now, we'll be in the back near the dumpsters and we won't have permission, probably, to film anything, but we'll be there. I actually went to the Oprah Studios, did I tell you that? You did? Yeah, I went to the Oprah Studios, yeah, in my daytime job,

which is kinda like my other time job. Oh, you did tell me that. I did, I went to the new Oprah studios. I didn't actually get to see anything interesting. This is on California. Yeah, it's on Cali. It was big and beautiful. It's amazing.

Those studios out in California are huge. And they just have endless streams of money, it seems like, because they gave Harry $100 million for that shit. Really? I think that barely here, it covers his security detail. That was the thing. $100 million for that shit. Really? It's a fairly accurate. It covers his security detail. That was the thing.

Do you think, click, Harry and Megan go to Starbucks on their own? Do you think they can go into a Starbucks over where they live in California? Probably not. No. No. No, they probably have to have some assistant or something go get them a cup of coffee, huh?

Yeah. Do you think the assistant tips the people at Starbucks? Yes. She does. She does. She does. She does. Yeah. because if it ever gets back that that's the assistant buying coffee on behalf of Megan and Harry, then and that she didn't tip, it's going to be a big story. Yeah. But I think the tipping is getting a little out of craze, a little out of it.

Well, I have to say I was, I was buying, it was, for example, it was my grandfather's 90 first birthday this past weekend. So we went up and we and he's Italian and semi-cistered and I thought, and what do you get in 91 year old man? It's it's so hard. And extra day of life. Yeah, at that point, you know, they've got everything. He bought everything for them over the years. So we thought, well, he loves Italian stuff. It's getting a big basket full of Italian goods, you know, some good olive oil, balsamic vinegar, some pasta, some sauces, all that kind of stuff. So I went to this Italian place here in Atlanta, it's excellent. But speaking of tipping, they've been the thing around.

Okay. And, you know, I just automatically want to go to 20%. But then I was like, wait, I'm just buying retail here. And so I went to 10. I don't know. And Jeff was like, why did you even tip on that? It's just you were just, you picked out everything and took it to the gallery.

I know, it's getting crazy, guys. Oh my God. I don't know, I feel bad. A tip, tips to ensure prompt service. Right. That's someone pointed out to me. I think I've told this story before. And we did not receive prompt service at this place.

Well listen, you never, I mean, because there's a difference when you're getting paid $2.36 an hour and the social contract is, if you give me a Trump service, I will then give you an additional cash for your troubles because you're really just renting this space from a restaurant tour and what you make of it is what you make of it and then the restaurant tour

just gives you enough to pay your taxes. Essentially, it was what happened with this $2.13 or whatever it is. They get paid the waiters, the minimum wage for waiters, wait staff. When you say to ensure prompt service and then someone's already getting paid a salary or an hourly salary, I feel a little conflicted because, you know, I like the people at my Starbucks. I always give them a tip because I like them and they do give me prompt service. But if I walk into like a random Starbucks and they just make my coffee for me,

I feel conflicted while I always tip, I still feel conflicted because two years ago, three years ago, I didn't have to give a tip at Starbucks. I was built into the cup of coffee, the $6 I'm paying for fucking coffee. It's unbelievable. And now that is happening every single place, we go. I think it's gotten a little bit out of control. I think we have a little bit of what we refer to

in the marketing business as scope creep. Like we've creeped outside of the initial scope of tipping. And now we're in a whole new universe where anybody who has a job thinks they deserve a tip because we are training them to think they deserve a tip. That's not how it was when I grew up. And if you're in the service industry, if you're delivering my pizza, I get it.

If you're delivering my Uber food, I get it. If you're driving me around in an Uber, I don't really get it, but I tip because that's just a custom. Yeah. If I'm pumping gas on my home, and then I go in to pay for it, and it wants to give 20% to the guy who's standing behind the cashiers,

making $20 an hour, I just don't see the reason why I should be tipping those people, and it's happening everywhere. I know. Everywhere. We went to, did we go to, was it pottery barn or somewhere, gap for kids or, we went to some shit and I pay for it

and this asked me if I wanted to tip. Tip, was it the thing that swings around? It was, you know, you mean the, where it flips around? Yeah, that's the, whatever they call it. I get it, it's a screen and it flips around and then it says you wanna add 20%. Yes.

Yeah, and this wasn't that kind. This is just like one of those little around and then it says, do you want to add 20%? Yes. Yeah. And this wasn't that kind. This is just like one of those little things. And then it says on there, you know, add tip, 15, 20%, 30%, more, more. No one helped me a gap for kids. They ignored me. They largely ignored me until they said hello. Are you ready to check out?

And then they beep, beep, beep, beep. I mean, really, is that that hard? Honestly? F**king. $40.65, please. Oh, thanks very much. Would you like to add a $42.60 tip? For what?

It's for the staff. For the staff doing what? Folding the clothes, isn't that their job? I thought that was their job. I don't get it. It's confusing. I thought we were gonna take a step back from tipping. I thought Tom Calicchio, this guy on top chef,

he started the, you know, he went to this no tipping policy in his restaurants and I thought we were gonna go that direction. Yeah, that sounds good. Charge me more. Bill it in. Bill it in. That way, no one gets fucked.

The wait staff does never gets fucked and while it may cause issues with certain human beings who feel like they can be lazier because they're already earning that money, you go over to Europe and that's the way it works. And I very rarely over there have had a meal where I didn't think the service was okay, at least okay. As a matter of fact, when I try and tip over there,

some people tell me no, put it away. I was at the top of the Eiffel Tower and I had a fight with the guy because I was trying to give him cash. And he was like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I'm in offended. You're offended.

I'm trying to give you more money. This is my job, sir. My job, I take it, play, I've played in my job. Don't piece on me with your $100 in cash. Please gently put it in my back pocket and don't tell anybody. So I think we got to slow down on the scope creep with the tipping because not everything in the world needs to be tipped on. Right? If you're already making a good paycheck and I don't and I know that some people make

better hourly than others. Let's not get into that. That's not parsed the argument. The argument is if you're already making an hourly wage, a living wage, then I'm not sure we should be tipping. And let's ask a real question. Let's say 200 people go into a Starbucks in the course of a day, 200, and they all tip a dollar. It's $200, and there's 10 people working there. It's $20 extra there's 10 people working there. It's $20 extra.

Why not do this? Why not Starbucks? Why don't you give a bonus pool at the end of the day for good service and everyone doing great? And then instead of putting a tip, I'll put a five stars. Give me stars and let me tell you how well you did. And then if you get five stars,

then Starbucks gives you a little bonus check at the end of the month or at the end of the week. And that way, Starbucks can eat the cost. You wanna know why? Starbucks doesn't seem to be hurting for money. Brian, on the other hand, is working overtime making this stupid fucking podcast no one's paying me anything.

Ridiculous. Ridiculous, Chrissy. But I'll give you five stars for that, Brian. Chrissy, I would'll give you five stars for that Ryan. Chrissy I would expect that would if I was If you would listen to an episode of the commercial break and then I said here it's time to check out like you know Would what kind of tip would you give the commercial break? What kind of tip would you give me as the host of the commercial? Oh, I give you a good 30% 30% that's Wow. Geez. I know you're starving. I was thinking you would get 12.

I know your children are still. My children. My five to seven kids don't know where their next meal is coming from. And that's kind of the truth. So, well, we know it's coming from, we just don't know when it's coming. But I will tell you this right now.

30% is a great tip. Thank you, Chrissy. I appreciate it. I was thinking about giving you 12, but I'm bumping it up to 15 after that comment. Oh, that's sweet. People see me coming in a restaurant, they see a sucker there like,

because I can never look at a restaurant the way everybody else looks at a restaurant because they spend so much time there. So for me, 30% is kind of the, it's like not the minimum tip I would give, 20% of the minimum. It's standard. But it's pretty standard.

I'll give 30% 80% of the time I give 30%. And then if for some reason something went wrong and I feel like it was the fault of the wait staff, like they were not attending to us quickly enough or whatever. We went to this one restaurant one time. And this girl had no other tables but us. That restaurant was fucking empty.

Really nice restaurant here in town, in a lull between lunch and dinner. They begrudgingly sat us at the end of the lunch shift. You know what I'm saying? They begrudgingly. If you're open till three, you're open till three. If I come in at 237, serve me, right? Correct.

So 237, they said us, everybody pissing and moaning about it, obviously. So it's already uncomfortable. It's about to be shift change. It's about to be, yeah, she's about to get off work. She's the closer, so she's got to stay to the last table. Well, this girl largely ignored us the entire time. We could not get a refill on water.

We couldn't get a refill on salsa. It was the worst, and she was nowhere to be found either. So every 30 minutes she would pop out, and she wouldn't even say anything. She just like fill some more water and then leave. And you'd be like, can I get that hot sauce I asked for? When my food was hot. And you know, oh yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot.

Mm-mm. I could not bring myself to give her less than 20%. I could not bring myself to give her less than three%. I know, I know, I think, right? I just couldn't do it. And I'm just working in the restaurant. I know, I'm such a, I just don't even take do it. And us from working in the restaurant. I know. I'm such a, I just don't even take me out to eat.

You know what the thing is? Here's the new thing. And this usually happens because I don't have any money. But here's the new thing. If you're going to take Brian out to eat, pay for him. And that way you can give a bad tip if there's bad service. And I don't feel guilty about it because I didn't know about it. You know what I'm saying?

It's in the treaty. Brian doesn't pay. Don't give Brian the check. Let me write that down the notebook. Brian doesn't pay because he doesn't want to know how much you tipped. Brian never looks at the check. Let me write that down the notebook. Brian doesn't pay, because he doesn't want to know how much you tipped. Brian never looks at the deal. So that's part of our treaty. If you're going to be, if you're going to tip bad, make sure you do it by yourself. And it tries me crazy when we go out with

people and they, they tip bad. It drives me crazy. Oh, my God. Create too. And I always like have to scramble to see if I have any cash to maybe supplement it or something. I know. Sometimes I maybe supplement it or something. Sometimes I find myself like peaking. Yeah, I know. They bring the multiple folders and people are signing and I'm like, what you got over there?

Is that 20, did you get 20 person? Is that a one or seven? I can't see that. Did you leave one or seven? Then sometimes I ask, what did you leave? You know, like I know what that, yeah, I know what I should leave but sometimes I go, what did you leave one or seven? Then sometimes I ask, what did you leave? You know, like I know what that, yeah, I know what I should leave, but sometimes I go, what did you leave? And there's certain people in my own sphere,

like friends family sphere, where I definitely ask what they left. I don't care if I make them uncomfortable. I wanna make them uncomfortable. I want them to know that they're being cheap ass clowns. So I go, hey, how much did you leave? Uh, $10. $10 on 400? Yeah, man, what are these? leave? Oh, let's get $10.

$10 on 400? Yeah, man, what a, what a, what a, are you gonna make a money? That's really bad. No, but if you can't afford, if you're gonna afford $400, then you can afford $80 tip. That's just the reality of it. You didn't know when you went into the five star

of Michelin three star restaurant that you were gonna be paying a big tip. Come on, man. And then that's so then, sometimes I catch it soon enough where I can adjust my tip. Sometimes I'll scratch it out and be like, sorry about my asshole friend. Yeah.

Here's his phone number. Please feel free to post it on 4chan. Thank you. Oh, good old 4chan. Doing good throughout the world. Speaking of cheap skates, there are a lot of people that are getting into. Now the de-economy feels like it might be taking

a little bit of a turn. It's constricting. It's constricting. It's actually not constricting. There's another quarter million job. It feels like it's constricting. It's really weird. It's a really weird economic time.

It feels like there's a squeeze going on now. There's a squeeze, but we don't know who it's really weird. It's a really weird economic time. It feels like there's a squeeze going on though. There's a squeeze, but we don't know who it's going up. Yeah, prices are going up, paychecks are going down, but we don't know anybody that's really affected by it yet. Like I don't talk to people and they go, I lost my job, I got laid off today. I talk to people and they're like, yeah, things are great about a new Maazirati.

Maazirati, how did you get that? Ah, you know. Not tipping. That's signed the multi million dollar tips. Yeah, saving my tips. I got a multi million dollar podcast contract. You have a podcast, no, I'm gonna start one, but I got a multi million dollar contract.

I got a great agent. I suspect this is gonna become more popular, even though I think it's really popular now, I think this is like an undercurrent of coupons are out there, right? People who see an opportunity to get something for free or cheaper and God bless them. That's the way they want to live their lives. God bless them. I can't be bothered to cut out coupons.

That's just not my thing. Nor can I be bothered to bother everybody else in the checkout line. But if I see somebody with coupons, I move to the next line. I'm only doing self-check out now, but when I was doing regular checkout, if I see someone with coupons, I move to the next line. I'm only doing self-check out now, but when I was doing regular checkout, if I see someone with coupons, I'm moving on. I don't even see people with paper coupons anymore, but I guess they have them. Oh, I saw them. I saw a lady the other day.

I wasn't in the checkout line, but when I walked into the store, I saw a lady the other day and she had a whole folder, like an organization folder. That's all school. And she was taking, that's way old school. But is it old school? Because there are lots of people who consider themselves extreme coupons. They're hoarding 55,000 bags of tropical skittles for the end of the world because tropical skittles are bogo and with an extra coupon, you can actually get the store to pay you to take it off their

hands. It's crazy how this works. It is, I've seen that before. So there's this television show on TLC, of course. Of course. Where they, it's like a game. They see how much shit they can get for as close to zero as possible. And some of them will walk away with 17 shopping carts worth of shit.

Shit, you would never use her each or taste or anything like that. Like condensed milk, you know, 30 pallets of condensed milk. Who uses condensed milk for anything? But they go and they put it in their basement and they save it for the end times. I'm not sure what's going on.

But I saw one episode, this is like a Saturday morning TLC thing. You know, it's not something I watch in prime time. I just want everyone to know, there's not a prime time pick for Brian. This is a Saturday morning watching the kids, oh, extreme couponers is watch in prime time. I just want everyone to know. It's not a prime time pick for Brian. This is a Saturday morning watching the kids. Oh, extreme coupons are on in the background. I saw one lady walk out with like seven grocery carts worth of shit.

And the grocery store had to pay her $122 to take it. What? Yeah, not even kidding. They go into the negative and then they get cash back. They get a rebate right there at the drawer. Now, if I could do that, if I could find a way for the grocery store to give me $122 every time I walked in the door, I wouldn't be doing this stupid fucking podcast

that's right now. I would be extreme coup honor, the coupon break. Well, you might want to switch to it because you're gonna put the kids out in the pool and cover it up as a bunker. Yeah, they're gonna need something to eat. Yeah. Or do you have to feed them?

Condensed milk. I'll have to do feed kids. And they're kind of like plants. Yeah, whenever they start to eat. Yeah. Or do you have to feed them? Condensed milk. I'll have to do feed kids. Once a friend of mine, I like plants. Whenever they start to wilt, then that you know you need to feed them on them. I feed my cactus like twice a month, so I think that's about right for the kids.

But when Cole gets fed up with the three hours, he gets out his sharpest pair of scissors and catches coupons. Sharp as fair as fair. Sharp as fair as she pair of scissors and contacts his coupons.

In fact, coal never buys anything that doesn't guarantee him savings of at least 90%. To ensure he never loses. 90%. Wow. What could you possibly be eating at the grocery store that you get 90% off that's at all good for you?

I know. Now, I'm telling you, it's condensed milk. That's what they're giving away for free. Condensed milk and, you know, tropical dog poop flavored skittles, they didn't work out. Chocolate Skittles is basically what you're getting. Spatial offer. He often goes shopping straight after school, which means keeping his hundreds of coupons

inside his school locker. We'll figure it out. All right, we're running two-pons stock file. I gotta have extra. Now we're gonna be late, guys. I got to have extra Which you Yeah, which school days is not both his arms not already in a cast Why is Cole not in the locker that's what I'm wondering yeah, he opened his locker keypons him flying out and everybody was standing around watching it his locker coupons him flying out. And everybody was standing around watching it.

Alright. We're gonna get the tonsil of gear on ya. I'm trying, I'm trying. I think closed couponing is kind of weird and it's just a waste of time. I think it's crazy. He took it over for the poor, the couponing needs to stop. Well, the rest of us are micro-dosing and smoking joints in the parking lot. Goals got some coupons, shit, I'm not really,

I don't know about it, but I've been sleeping with his girlfriend for six months, so keep on couponing, Cole. Yeah. Plenty open about my couponing. If you have questions about it, I'll answer it for you. If you think it's dumb, I'll tell you it's not.

I forget the scissors. Oh yeah, that worked with my ballies in high school. I'm not, I'm not a jerk. Ha, ha, that worked with my ballies in high school. I'm not, I'm not a jerk. As well as his schoolwork and two part-time jobs, Cole spends at least 12 hours a week, poop on it, but it's an exercise that's become a necessity for him and his family. A year and a half ago, both my parents had a move for job opportunities. I had to do something to stay because I was getting ready for my senior year and I couldn't leave.

I made a plea to some of my friends and my ex-girlfriend, her family, was willing to let me move in and open their home to me rent free. Your ex-girlfriend? Whoa, that's a little complicated. Yeah, wow, living on I-O is Ohio, is a different place than Atlanta, Georgia.

I didn't even get to, I didn't even get to have a girl in my room with the door open, let alone be living with my ex girlfriend. Yeah, ex. We've been with us. Yeah, this sounds like an Ask TCB. It does. The situation was very awkward.

We still are on great terms. Part of me thinks that it could have worked out if he hadn't moved in eventually. I don't know what's gonna happen. When I moved in, it was just a lot of bitter angry. It's still like a work in progress, but this family's been a lifeline for me. So anything that I can help them save on costs, I do.

Okay, you know, it's great whatever you have with you falling in the same. Now it's becoming obsession. Yeah, but then why are you helping him do it? I don't know. Like you're sitting at the kitchen, how weird. How weird. The weirdest thing about this story

isn't that there's a 17 year old sitting around obsessing about coupons. Everyone's got something they obsess upon. It's like girlfriend. It's the girlfriend. The ex girlfriend. The ex girlfriend. Whose parents let him move into the ex girlfriend's house.

How does that work out? When I had an ex girlfriend in high school, I was mellow dramatic. I listened to a lot of Pearl Jam, Alice and Chains was taking me down. You know what I'm saying? A lot of moracy. I mean, what is this kid doing? I guess he's licking his wounds with coupons. But I can get freaking dense milk. Cole's obsession with bargain hunting has produced a stockpile that's taken over his bedroom in Abby's basement. Okay, let's look and see what he has.

So now we're in Cole's room and there's a picture of all the things he's stockpile. He's got diapers. Fruit loops, Applejacks, the pillar of any good diet. He's got z-water, which is the most disgusting shit in the world. He's got diapers. Yeah, diapers. He's got conditioner. What is that up top?

Air freshener? He's got that. What is that up top? Air freshener? He's got that 4,000 air fresheners. Call your ass, think that bad? Do you even have a car for those air fresheners? To my room that is also my stock pile. We have six people living in this house plus three people at my parent's house. So I gotta keep it stocked so we don't run out.

Oh God, for a bit, we run out of fruit loops or conditioner. Her type first. Yeah, at the end of the world you want your hair to be nice and shiny and slick. pile means he can contribute at meal times. Today he's thrown together this ingenious dish called the seven layer dip. You never know what you're going to be. He's cutting up a lonely. He's putting pre-packaged cheese.

He's putting in mac and cheese and beans, and making it into a seven layer dip. I'm sorry. That's not a seven layer dip. But if someone invites me over to their house and the seven layer dip has baloney in it, I'm talking, I'm saying their name on the commercial break. Big beans.

Who puts big beans on a seven layer dip? Barbecue, big beans. Chrissy, this kid, he's either the biggest badass that's ever lived on Tyler Earth, or he's headed for a convalescent home. I'm not really sure. I think the coupons, you just have to be available to try new things.

All right, so I made dinner tonight. I mean, a nice little seven-layer dip. Everything in here came out of my stock file. So here on the bottom bottom we have some beans. We added some barbecue sauce, along with some baloney. Then we added some red beans and rice, quite a bit of cheese sauce. And we added some salsa.

All right, let's see. Mm, healthy. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, I got. Thanks, Cole. I got bubblegut just thinking about that. I think I would be gone on Cole's dinner night.

There's three inches of cheese sauce. A two-sale. Yeah. Come out, I got plans. Late practice. Yeah. Hey, Jenny, about your ex-boyfriend, trouncing around this house,

making us all bad diarrhea. There's a reason why he needs to stockpile so much toilet paper. It doesn't have to do with his coupon. It has to do with all the shit we're making because he's putting cheese sauce straight into our anises. He's trying to kill us, Jenny. He's trying to kill us.

I would decline to even try that. I would not even look at it. No, it's making me sick just thinking about Bologna barbecue sauce and cheese sauce together. I'm afraid I'd be so rough. I know. You know, I have an aversion to poop, like anytime anybody poops, I could stick to my stomach. I think I would have a bigger aversion to cheese sauce, Beloney, and barbecue sauce. How was it? That was good.

That was all right. That was good. That was all right. I got to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. That was alright! That was good, that was alright! I got to go to the bathroom! I got to go to the bathroom! I'll be right back! We'll metal through somehow! Abby and her family,

bless his friend Jackie, help Cole prepare for his shop interest. So Cole has very exacting standards and sloppiness will not be tolerated. Sloppiness will not be tolerated. Sloppiness. Sloppiness will not be tolerated. I'm sorry, there's two kitchen tables worth of paper everywhere. How do you even, that doesn't seem like you've got a good system going on there.

No. I'm just spending my Saturday night clipping coupons. Your manage. Cool is very particular when we're couponing. He wants things exactly in their place. If they go in the wrong finder slot or if we drop kupans the world is going to end, cut the words off and stuff.

There's a pill for this. Yeah, there's a pill for this. It's called a vikin. OCD medicine. Yeah, there's a pill for this. It's called Xanax. There's a pill for this, it's called Zannex. Yeah. There's a pill for this, it's called ecstasy. Do it one time and your whole couponing life is gonna change.

Yeah, exactly. You're gonna be like, what? What was I doing? It's the expiration date we can use that one now. Sorry. You gotta be more careful with them. Wow, an ex-girlfriend. She's like boarding over the ex-girlfriend.

And he's got a friend there doing it too. You think they're like, they're in a threesome together. They're in a thrupple. Yeah, there's some reason she's digging around It's probably not the coupons But he's 17 so let's be ginger about how we talk. Yes May not be the ideal shopping companion cool needs all the help he can get today because his parents and brother are coming to pick up 700 oh, wow We just got a picture of his family his mom and dad. So now I understand why all the wanting to get away from the family. It's worth the cruiseries. The whole plan is to buy $10 or less.

So we have all of our coupons ready. We have all of our plans laid out. Abby and Jack, you're ready to go to the store with. I know. I'm sorry. Okay. You go that way. Jack, you're ready to go to the store with them. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh? Okay, so the first thing we're gonna get is right up here. Okay, how many? We're gonna need 36 boxes. 15, 16. The clean ex. 36 boxes of clean ex. A clean ex.

Dude, go to Costco. Sorry, yeah, go to Costco. Maybe we've got it wrapped up. Yeah, for sure. Number one, number two, is that the convenient, the money that I would save does not outweigh the convenience of actually having space in my house to walk around. That's right.

Around boxes and boxes of cheese sauce and Kleenex. I don't use Kleenex that much, do you? I was like a paper towel or a toilet paper will do. When I rarely need a Kleenex to blow my nose or wipe my mouth or whatever, I just go for something else. No, I don't buy Kleenex separately. No. It's a ridiculous thing, Chrissy.

Unless you get those little packages of Kleenex's, if you have a cause or something you put in your purse So these they're good to wipe Jizz off of people. Yeah, I don't know that. That's what he told me Fantastic deal. The regularly a dollar 29 and they're on sale 10 per 10. I have a dollar off a coupon. I was gonna eat one is 31 I have no idea how that math work, but sounds good to me 31. Have no idea how that math worked, but sounds good to me. Mm-hmm. Really?

Yes. We got to the tissues, and Abby and Jackie have already started messing with me. This made me realize that the whole shopping trip was gonna be a struggle. What did you expect when you brought your ex-girlfriend? Right. What did you expect when your mom and dad,

when, you know, so your ex-girlfriend's mom and dad allowed you to move into the house, and now you've started this hobby with your ex-girlfriend and her friend, the three of you out shopping. You know what they're doing? They're flirting with you, but you're too worried about how many dollars you're going to save on Kleenex to realize that. That's true. 718-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Six, seven, nine, two, seven, five. We tend to gank up on cold, just to make a matter,

just to get under a scanner. We think it's fun, I don't think you feel so much. We're gonna get 63 of these soup to go bowls. 63. 63, soup to go. I mean, I don't even think they have 63 on the shelf right here. No, they have to order those special. Careful with all the camera.

Soup to go. What's that? Soup to go.ed to go. Tuped to go. Goals planning on spending a lot of lonely nights here at the Zex Girlfriend's house. Well, she's out getting laid in partying. Terrible not to bust the one on the car. Careful.

Are you guys even keeping count? Nope. All right. Everyone stops so I can count. Stop. I need a count, eight. Geez, Cole, relax a little bit, bud. You're an ice-cold.

It's not, you're not. It's soup to goose. Yeah, you're not working it by Deutsche Bank putting out a million-dollar loan. Rev down, Cole, rev down. Let's put that in the treaty. If you're an extreme coup-owner, don't get annoyed when other people get annoyed

with your extreme couponing because it is a pretty annoying thing to do. Yeah. And they're helping you. Yes, they're trying to help you. And you're upset because they're not doing it your way. Nine, 10, Abby, stop. Call, relax.

Stop, they're standing over there. Go stand over there. What are you? Cole is a monster in disguise. He's a monster! Really is! Seriously, go! Go! I was seriously gone. I really needed all of these items for my family, and there was no time for joking.

No one needs soup to go. No one needs 63 soups to go for your family, Cole. Chill. 61, I need two more. There you go. Thank you. First, cheese. Let's go on to the next one.

Wow. We're getting 50 of the baloney. Great, there's lots of. Boom. Boom, boom, boom. This is the baloney music. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, we're gonna buy some baloney, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Here. Make sure you count how many goes in the side, please. 14, 15, 16, and it works out great because the sausage is that we need it right here too. Oh, that works out great. We just got 68 to it, 68, 800, baloney. And now the 6800 sausages we need are right here. It's not even the good kind of baloney. No.

This sausage is a great deal. You're gonna need $1.59 on sale, 10 for 10. What if not a great deal on is your digestive system and your health? I mean, I know it's cold young and youth. You always have youth on your side, but you can only eat like this for so long. In my estimation, 40 some odd years before you start to go down here. I'm going to get five of these with every coupon for absolutely free. Okay, so I think

that's everything. So you guys ready for checkout? All right, let's go. I know he's got three grocery cards full of baloney, Kleenex and sausages. To go. To rather, you know, good-looking young ladies right behind you, and the only thing that you're concerned about is counting your balonies. Maybe you should pay attention to some other sausage. The silliness coal has filled three trolleys because the supermarket limits the number of coupons he can use He'll have to split his goods into three separate transactions. Oh my god. I'm already having a heart attack. I'm already having a stroke over this

Ready for me. I'm ready. How are you today? Are you ready for me or I will kill you? I will tell you to go stand in the corner. I don't care. I'm called the coupon keeg! Oh, that how are you? Good, thanks. For $66. And climbing. $66 worth of baloney. Oh my God. You're turning right now with that $140 and 49 cents. Do you have any coupons today? You bet I do. Oh, you bet I do.

You do, wow. You have my favorite question. Do I have any coupons today? Let me whip them out of my fanny pack. All right. All right. All right. Coming down.

Getting there. All right. All right. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright.

Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright.

Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. bad. You'll need the Kleenex. Yeah, I'll need the Kleenex to wipe my ass.

Mm-hmm. Okay, train's actually number two. For the second one. Here's a safe to go. Oh my God. Your title is 183-72. All right, let's bring that down a little. All right, let's bring that down a little. All right, let's bring that down a little.

I got a coal boner, come on baby. So is that $2.3? You know, Colt, you could have bought that many, you could have bought just as many ramen noodles and paid the exact same amount of money. And at least ramen noodle is good. Yeah. I'm not sure what happened. I was expecting to pay less than a dollar.

And the total is just above $2. I am about to have a nervous breakdown. This is not good. All right. That's crazy. Yeah, he really does. He's all stressed out over playing $2 for food. You'll never eat in the first place.

Seems like Cole, maybe, and I don't know, I'm just guessing here, because we only know Cole for a minute, and we know very little about him, but the way he's treating these ladies, when they don't do exactly what he wants, the fact that his parents just dropped him out for his ex-girlfriends' house and said,

have a good life, and the fact that he's living in his ex-girlfriends' house and probably not having a good life, I think Cole's a little stressed out. That's called the therapy. and the fact that he's living in his ex-girlfriend's house and probably not having a good life, I think calls a little stressed out. It's called the therapy. As a sound, it really was like life and death. I knew I needed to spend,

and every extra dollar that I had to spend is one less dollar that I can use towards my family. I'm gonna recount all the items and make sure that all my coupons are matching up properly. I'm going through the bags, and I discovered that there was an extra soup in one of the bags. 20, 21, 22.

There was one too many ships left. See? It's all the girls' faults because they were throwing the soups in carelessly. Transaction. That means that I paid an extra $1.67 over budget. That mistake has cost coal nearly $2 and he's not really really so important. This is why you watch this. This is why you watch this on a Saturday morning because only on a Saturday morning could you get worked up? I'm about to, too. Could you be convinced this is this serious?

Ha ha ha. What? There was one too many soups on the last train to action, so you think we could do to fix that? We can refund that for you. That would be great. Although the refunders put him back on track, Cole has lost confidence in his assistance

and his nerves are in shred. So when catch me in the fall. You know how I think I think sometimes we get obsessed with things that cover the real pain that's happening? Yeah, something's going on. Like stress cleaning. Why aren't we being Dr. Phil right now? I don't know if you're staying. He's stress cupping.

Yeah, he's stress cupping. That's right. Nared and $43.61. All right now. I don't know if they're staying. He's just cute. He's trying to be hot. Yeah, he's trying to be hot. That's right. Nuri had $43 and 61 cents. All right, are you ready for my coupon? Ready for your coupon? Okay. Get hot in here, just me.

All right. We actually owe you money. Yes! This is crazy. See, I told you they owe you money. This is crazy, see I told you they owe them money. That is awesome. We owe you $6 and 17 cents today. That is awesome. So he got all of that food he'll never use. Sissue paper, he doesn't need and all that other stuff that is absolutely not necessary

to life and they paid him four and a half dollars for it. That's insane. Now, this is how the commercial break can start making money. If we can just convince the people out there to go, cutting out coupons and shopping on our behalf and only send us the stuff we actually want, it'll be a win-win for both of us. Don't you agree out there? Mm-hmm. And you can keep the change. I don't care as long as I get it for free. You have to handle the shipping though. Oh, good job! That is fantastic.

Awesome. Never seen that before. I couldn't dream of a better shopping trip than the store-owing me money. My parents are in need of a lot of this stuff, so it was a great successful shopping trip, and I'm really happy with it. Kohl's record for it. Calls record for- Also, who puts their children in charge of this kind of work? I know. You know what I'm saying? Like, hey, Cole, you better get us some free cup of soups.

I mean, mommy's doing a lot of crying about daddy. I need some extra Kleenex. Your responsibility, son. You're the man of the family. Loads 58 packs of paid products 63 pots of soup and 130 packs of meat the combined price of all three transactions was $667.82 But the store is actually paying him five dollars and 52 cents to take everything hold with a shopping trip a success Cole can't wait to see this

Wow, that is actually pretty good, I will say. Yeah. All right, Cole, you made your point. I understand. I get it. Still don't want to eat any of the stuff that you got, though. That's the problem. The toilet paper or the paper towels that I get.

If you can get that shit for free, but that's not how it works. You have to combine all of those offers and opportunities together. So whether you want the paper towels or whether you want whether you want to balloon or not, you have to get to balloon in order to make the paper towels work. That's how it is. You know, I know this, because I don't have a life, and on Saturday mornings I just watch extreme couponing on TLC. YouTube can have a life like me and Cole. You know what you do?
