Starting point is 00:01:27 Brian got it wrong, yeah, Brian got it wrong, yeah, Brian got it wrong, yeah, Brian got it wrong, yeah. On this episode of the commercial break, They think it keeps in a certain amount of tea, energy, testosterone, stuff like that. And I can understand why this gets in people's heads. I can understand why athletes get in an athlete's head. Like boxers are notorious for going like, you know, a month before they have a big fight with no sex and they get all raged up and all that. But, you know, for guys, I know that sex is different and it's very physical and it's, you know, there's a lot of energy that comes with release. and, you know, you should see my stupid face when I make an orgasm.
Starting point is 00:02:28 I look like a Muppet. I really do. I can't even imagine. I don't want to know. I've never videotaped myself because I don't want to know. Things I don't need to know. That's right. The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Oh, yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the temporary co-host of the commercial break. Tina, best to you, Tina. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Tina joining us as it's MENFO time here at the commercial break.
Starting point is 00:03:04 We all get very excited. I don't get very excited that Chrissy's gone. I get very excited for Chrissy that she gets to go and have a vacation that I so desperately want. It's jealous. It's jealousy. It's jealousy. She gets the party and the time off. She gets to stay at a nice hotel.
Starting point is 00:03:20 She gets to run around with Jeff, meeting famous people and hanging out. Of course, I met a few famous people while she wasn't. here too. I had the opportunity to talk to Sal Volcano. What a great guy. Yesterday, I will preview this because I would like to. Yesterday, I had an opportunity to talk to Larry the cable guy. And when I talked to Larry the cable guy, I didn't know what to expect. Like, I don't, you know, Larry the cable guy. I know him. Of course, we all know him, blue collar comedy, the whole thing. And, but we also know him around here as the voice of the voice of of mater tommater from cars so i'll preview this because i won't be able to play it actually
Starting point is 00:04:02 in the episode because it's got the names of my children and i don't prefer to give that out on air but at the end of the conversation before i'm trying you know i'm trying to wrap it up and he goes wait just one more thing he goes tell me the name of your kids and so i give him the name of the kids because i told them how much they were fans of cars and he did a whole fucking bit as mater on his microphone for my children. That's so cool. I am so filled with joy about this. You don't understand. Astrid must think I'm a total goober because I ran around the house all day yesterday, texting family members like, I'm the dad of the year. Look at what happened. And all of the sudden, it's me. I did it. He took the time to do that for my children. And when I let them listen to it,
Starting point is 00:04:45 I got the car, like the car's toys out. And I said, you know this one? And then I did it. And they were just like, oh, the real maider. And I'm like, the real. Mader. What a dude. I mean, what a dude. So many people I've heard through the grapevine that he's a very nice guy could not have been more pleasant. And he just did that out of the kindness of his heart. I didn't even ask him to do that. So that interview coming up next week. We'll run that interview next week. So Chrissy can go ahead and meet widespread panic. You got voice memos from Mayer. I got voice memos from Mayder. Nice guy. Anyway. Love it. So I am gleefully now through with the second episode of Seeking Sister Wives. Oh, you're ahead of me. I am ahead of you.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Are you going to watch it? I am. Do you have you watch the other seasons? I have. Okay. So we know Garrick and his wife. I can't remember her name. What's her name? Garrick and...
Starting point is 00:05:44 Don't pop quiz me. Garrick's the only one I remember because, quite frankly, anytime Garrick comes on screen, I can't get past Garrick to get to his wife. because Garrick has got to be the dumbest motherfucker I have ever met in my entire life and his wife might be number two. And I'd like to think that Garrick is not, a Garrick's wife, is not kind of this like, I don't know, Tina, let me play the clip and then you tell me. And by the way, this is probably one of the smarter things this guy has said in the six seasons
Starting point is 00:06:17 of seeking sister wives. And I'm about to play you something that is just a. is dumb. We will discuss it after this. Just as dumb as I have, I can't believe he said this. Hold on. You ready? I'm ready. Okay. Uh, let's see here. Here we go. Okay. Serious question that you and her. Okay. Wait. Now, let me, I got to make sure that we understand. Okay. Garrick and his wife, they have been seeking his sister wife for five years, six seasons. Every season, it's a new fucking girl. Right. Because none of it works out. They're always Brazilian.
Starting point is 00:06:51 They always take his money and then don't show up to come live with them. Because let's face it, Garrick is a real fucking oddball. He's a kooky, like, I don't care about his religion. But the stuff that he believes because of his religion is insanity. He believes, because I heard it last season, he believes that when a man donate sperm to a woman inside her vagina via sex, that her DNA changes to reflect. Yes, I have heard this.
Starting point is 00:07:24 You've heard this? Yes, he's not alone. This cannot be true. Unfortunately. Is it true? It's not true, but it is true that other people do believe this. Okay, I'm just making sure that I'm not speaking completely out of turn here, because everything that I know from my little education that I've had tells me that there is no way that you're
Starting point is 00:07:47 DNA permanently changes because sperm is inside of you. Nope. Because if that's the case. Mine would have changed. Yes. If that's the case, then I have changed a lot of women for the worst. I mean, imagine what crimes we could get away with if our DNA changed every time we had a deposit. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Every girl I've ever slept with could commit a crime and she had my DNA all up inside her, changing her forever. He said this on a national, nationally television. It blows my mind. He is the dumbest motherfucker on earth. He's got to be. He looks like the dumbest motherfucker on art. Okay. So now they're on season number six. We've met a new wife, a new, another fucking Brazilian. And they're bringing her back to the United States on the K1 visa. They got approved. She's coming in. He's explaining how they went through the courting process via the internet and a couple of visits. So he's saying that, you know, I already went. I talked to her, I asked her lots of questions.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Heartfell serious questions, you and her, me, and her, especially because I knew she had a passing, she had some men treated her really bad. I mean, they found that after women, which I remember five men, that they just can't, like, bond anymore. What? After a woman has, like, five different partners,
Starting point is 00:09:14 the chances of her bonding or even having a lasting relationship, throughout like cold crazy amount like just percentage wise like it's just the sperm meat
Starting point is 00:09:25 inside of her changes yeah oh huh what what after five sperm injections
Starting point is 00:09:37 you can no longer bond with other humans you've turned in you've gone full reptilian how did I not know this somebody should have warned me are we even friends, Tina?
Starting point is 00:09:49 Well, my DNA's changed multiple times at this point. Can you even connect with me? This is bizarreo. You turn into rain woman after the fifth? Right? Is he, does he get abducted by aliens at night? Like what, where did this come from? The look on his face, just like the normal resting look on Garrick's face tells me that
Starting point is 00:10:11 there's something is not happening in his brain. Things aren't connecting. The synapses are broken somewhere. the dumb shit that Garrick garrick absorbs in his mind which podcasts are you listening to him enough and his wife sits there she has a look on his face she looks dumbfounded she looks dumbfounded but she never corrects him like hey Garrick that's not true no she agrees with him are they fundamentalists there are some kind of wackadoo uh religion i'm sure of it they live out in the mountains you know this whole thing it's just unbelievable to me
Starting point is 00:10:47 What some people choose to believe if you did any homework whatsoever, you would understand that the amount of sperm in your uterus has nothing to do with your ability to be an emotionally connected human being. That's not true. It's too weird. Remember that girl who just had sex with 100 guys and 24 hours? That poor girl, she's never going to bond with anybody again. She's just going to ascend at some point. She's going to walk the streets. a robot just disconnected from humanity what this is going wild it's wild this is wild this is wild it's wild and thank god tlc is here to document it all i need it yeah and let us know who exactly to stay away from i just i i i feel somebody said that to my face i i don't know how the cameraman kept
Starting point is 00:11:37 his composure well he didn't he said what that's like the little like they they had the text on the bottom and it says producer why What? Exclamation point question mark. Yes. I would not have been able to keep quiet either. Oh, my God. These people are insane. I could barely keep quiet while you were playing the clip. I know. It's when I watched it, I had to watch it again.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I had to watch it again. I had to watch again. I was actually just about to take a little snick snack nap, you know? And then I had it on in the background, and my eyes just popped right open. And I was like, let me remind that. Did I, am I just dreaming that? He said that dumb shit. last year he said sperm changes your DNA this year he's on to five women five men prevents you from connecting emotionally with with other human beings hey listen i mean if i didn't you're skin great for
Starting point is 00:12:28 your hair bad for relationship that's it's it's the only substance on earth with negative calories but it changes the way you think and your whole DNA strand yeah that's right hey listen how far be it for me to deny you know what If I'm going to go home to saddle, I'll make sure I have sex first. Peter, Luke, or Paul said in the 5th Corinthians or some shit like that. Unbelievable. I mean, let me, just, I'm just going to make sure here. Let me ask Chat TCB real quick.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Hold on. Oh, good old chatty. Hey, chat, exclamation point. I heard that a woman's DNA changes when a man ejaculates inside of her. period. Could this possibly be true? Question mark? Nope. Did Chaddy say nope? A chap said nope. Yeah. Okay. Where this idea comes from? This idea comes from telogeny, an ancient belief that a woman's later children might inherit traits from previous partners. However, modern genetics, like since the 19th century has proved this to be untrue. Rarely, cells from a fetus can remain in a mother's
Starting point is 00:13:51 body for decades. That's real, but it comes from pregnancy, not in our course. Cells from a fetus. Yes, from a fetus. That's different than from a man. It's not, yeah. Okay. Um, from sperm. But the same person told me that after five sexual partners, a woman can no longer bond with a man. Dot, dot, dot, dot. Is that? that true question mark nope this chat's going to start thinking i'm a real dip shut we don't want to know what my chat's just going to start thinking this is another absolute myth the idea that a certain number of sexual partners makes a woman not bond anymore is something you'll see in certain religious or red pill spaces of course bonding is psychological not biological
Starting point is 00:14:39 oxytocin versus vespestrin whatever that is these hormones are released during sex and and they help build closeness. But there's no counter in the body that runs. There's no counter, not counter, counter in the body that runs. Good for you. Hang on, body. This is number 10. We've got to. Are you sure? Dink. Dink. Like rings on a tree. That's right. Well, thank you for clarifying that. Just to be clear, I never believed that was true. Period. I'm just entertaining myself um because i don't want you know i have this i've trained chat to like me yeah i appreciate you saying that that if you want to dig if you want i can dig up the most outrageous fake science sex and relationship miss oh yes please yeah please do that okay let's do that i love i love that chat
Starting point is 00:15:30 so helpful and offers next steps well it knows that i have a podcast so you know it started giving me this like daily digest do you have chat i don't know because i pay for like the like the big version or whatever, the premium version, it started giving me this daily digest. And it's like, you know, hey, I looked at all of your bits from the commercial break. And I have an idea on how you can put some of these together for a crab apple, you know, supercut. You want me to show you? And it's like, oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, I do. I want you to do that. Yeah. And then it was like, hey, I heard you interviewed, I know that you interviewed Margaret Cho. There's some interesting information coming out about her. You want an update? And so I'm like, oh, that's cool, you know? Um, yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:11 Chattie's my best. Here's some of the miss. A woman absorbed, okay, we already talked about that one. Men think about sex every seven seconds. Now, we've all heard this. It's likely you heard this from a science teacher telling you sex education. Yeah, but obviously that is untrue. And I know it just from being a man. I mean, there is a certain periods of my life where I was over-sexed, for sure. I was thinking about it a lot. But it wasn't every seven seconds. It was every two seconds. Guys are basically sex robots. That's the claim.
Starting point is 00:16:45 But the truth is, studies show men do think about sex more than women, but not every seven seconds, more like a few times a day. Here's another one. You can tell somebody's sexual activity by the size or shape of their genitalia. The claim is that vaginas get loose after they have more sex. The truth is, muscle stretch temporarily, but return to baseline. No permanent partner count signature. Can I see your partner count? signature do you mind what's your counter at uh what's my counter at oh okay i'm not asking no no no no no don't go
Starting point is 00:17:18 there uh blue balls is a medical emergency i always hated this i always hated this because even amongst my friend's group i would call it out as a bullshit bullshit uh claim to get to urgently get off or have someone help them get off and i understand that when you reach close to climax and you don't. There's some frustration and it can be physically uncomfortable for a few minutes. But blue balls is not a thing. Your balls don't turn blue. The sperm doesn't go back in rotten. It's not like it came out, sat out, it's not like eggs. It didn't sit out for two days and go back in. If it didn't come out, it didn't come out. It's okay. It's still there, right? It's uncomfortable, but it's harmless. Relief comes with time or with release. No testicles
Starting point is 00:18:10 in history have exploded. Thanks, Chad. Thanks, Chad. It's a great teenage excuse to pressure for sex or release. And I have always known this. And if you are a friend of mine and you have tried to use that whole fucking shit,
Starting point is 00:18:26 then you know I have called it out forever because I just think it's ridiculous. Sex before sports drains performance. Science shows that no consistent effect, though some athletes some athletes are shown to even perform better after sex because it reduces stress these are old school coaches perpetuating this myth essentially yeah they want you frustrated on the field they think it they think it like keeps in a certain amount of tea energy testosterone stuff like that and i can understand why this gets in people's heads i can understand why athletes gets in an athlete's head like boxers are notorious for going like you know a month before they have a big fight with no sex and they get all raged up and all that. But, you know, for guys, I know that sex is different and it's very physical and it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:19 there's a lot of energy that comes with release. And, you know, you should see my stupid face when I make an orgasm. I look like a Muppet. I really do. I can't even imagine. I don't want to know. I've never videotaped myself because I don't want to do. Things I don't need to know.
Starting point is 00:19:35 That's right. but i will share that that energy can be mutated it can be sent somewhere else you can get over it i've never known anyone to be raged up no from lack of sex it's just ridiculous it's another excuse for whatever it is is going on in your life that you cannot control or don't have can't put a cap on permiss yeah permitting bad behavior bad behavior that's right and as as men we should call it out when it comes up when you're in the locker room or i mean i'm not i'm not and haven't been in a locker room in 80 years. I try to avoid them.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yes. I don't want to show my ping-pang. I'm old. My balls hang down to my knees. Who wants to see that? I think that as guys, as good men, right? As men, but as good men, we should call that shit out when we hear it. We should say, that's just, you know, stop it.
Starting point is 00:20:28 That's enough. This is nonsense. Yeah, you're upset because your feelings are hurt or something, and now you've got blue balls and you go jizz all over everybody or else you're going to die. You, come on, get over it. Let's see. You can get pregnant from a toilet seat. Oh, gosh, not this crap.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Tell me a lot of these myths are just like not, they're just not out there anymore. I've heard this. They try to scare you. They try and scare you. And I'm sure this comes from some sex education in a Catholic school. Can't let the boys in the girls room because they're going to jizz all over the seats. Yeah, by the way. Little girls are going to be pregnant.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Like, what are you talking about? Which guys are jizzing all over the seats? I mean, I'm sure it happens, but I don't want to think about it. In a women's room where women are going to sit in a lot of us. Why are you guys going into the jizz room? Like, you know what I'm saying? What? The jizz room.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Listen, settle down on this one, too. We don't want to, the thing about myths and legends is they lead to worse behavior. They lead to fear. Yeah, the dumbing down of America. I'd like to think that this isn't out there, but I'm almost, you're almost guaranteed. Well, if this guy's on TV right now in 2025 talking about you can't bond after five partners, then it's clearly rampant. There are teenagers out there who are currently not sitting on toilet seats because they think there's a jizz box somewhere that's going to get them pregnant. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Yeah. This came from one woman who had an affair and got pregnant. I must have sat on a toilet seat. I slipped and fell on a jizz seat. I don't know. It was yours, honey. sperm jumped into my uterus those sperm they're all over the place look at those little nasty things just waiting yeah um bigger feet equal bigger penis shoe size predicts penis size is the claim however studies show
Starting point is 00:22:22 that there is zero correlation big shoes equal big shoes and there goes there goes any game I ever have yeah I got big feet so there goes any game I think it's big hands I think it's big hands Hands, big penis. Isn't that it? Big hands, big penis? Yeah, I've always said. Hands and feet. I think if you have big feet and small hands, that's even more awkward. Yeah, that's weird. That's just weird. I can think of one national treasure that has small feet. I mean, big feet and small hands. Are they big feet? They're big ankles.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah, cancels don't count. That's our big cancels. That's right. Speaking of cancels and our national treasure, man, do we have a lot to dig into? we have done we have gone the extra mile Tina went the extra mile Oh watched blame it on real which we were talking about yesterday And let it be her and not me thank God it's good I don't want to I don't want to get called out on that I don't know why I started my day with it but Tina and I I want to be real sensitive around this topic too
Starting point is 00:23:21 But I think it I think we can have a fun discussion without getting too crazy or gross Yesterday I interluded when we were breaking down that zon video that I had seen a real about a movie called Blame It on Real with Michael Cain, Michelle Johnson, and some other actors of the time. This is back in the early, early 80s, 1981. Jeffrey Bologna. Bologna. Yeah, 1984 was the release date. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And it is a movie where two best friends go on holiday with their daughters that are supposedly 17 years old at the time. And they then spend the rest of the movie naked. and apparently the two girls who played the two teenagers were 17 at the time Michael Kane was 52 gross disgusting he was 52 years old at the time
Starting point is 00:24:10 and then the plot of the movie is that Michael Kane sleeps with his best friend's daughter he's in love with her and he sleeps with him but yes he sleeps with her many times that and this movie by the way is on
Starting point is 00:24:26 Amazon fucking prime. Unbelievable. I expected to have to pay $399.99. Nope. Just right there ready to go. Yeah. And you and I'm, maybe after the break, what I'll do is I'll pull up the rotten tomatoes, even though it's got a 7%. Did you read some of those comments? Oh, I had enough. The movie was enough. Yeah. I could only imagine. I could only imagine. I simply Googled Blame it on Rio and the images were like there wasn't an image that didn't have nudity. I just had to investigate her actual age, because Demi Moore plays her best friend, the other Jeffrey Bologna's daughter.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Oh, really? Yeah, to me more is the other teenage girl. And how old is she when the movie is made? I did not look at her because you only see her topless, like once, and her hair covers. Most of her boobs. All of it. You just see the under. I don't even know what to think about this, but we'll get into it as gingerly as we can
Starting point is 00:25:25 because there is a long history of minors in these movies, not recently, I don't think, but of minors in these movies. Blue Lagoon, I mean, we can just go back to all of it. And a lot of these movies still available. You can just go watch it. Just go watch them today. And my question is, not about art versus sexuality versus whatever, right? You know, Blue Lagoon is not an overly sexed movie.
Starting point is 00:25:49 But a 14-year-old Brooke Shields is nude in the entire movie, as is her co-star, who I think was 17 at the time, too. So let's not let the boys go unnoticed, too. Well, we'll talk about blaming on Rio just a little bit more after we take a break. It's a menfo week, just in case anybody's wondering why Tina's here, and Chrissy's not. Don't think Chrissy went anywhere. She just... Just a mempho.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Yeah, just a mempho. And Chrissy and I didn't get enough... We didn't record enough episodes to get through the entire break, so Tina has graciously... Substitute teaching. Substitute teacher. We'll be back. Hey, it's Rachel, your new voice of God here on TCB. And just like you, I'm wondering just how much longer this podcast can continue.

Starting point is 00:28:08 I did. And you watched the entire thing. The whole thing. Okay. I don't know how, but I did. Give us the low lights, because I don't think there's any highlights. Give us the low light. Two men going on vacation to Rio, Dijanaro, with their two.
Starting point is 00:28:21 daughters. One of them is going through a divorce. That would be... Michael Cain? No, the other one. Okay. Michael Cain is not going through a divorce. He's the one who has the affair with the 17-year-old. Michelle Johnson. Yes. Is who played this young lady. Beautiful young girl, but young girl. 17 years old. Yep. Seducing. 17 in the movie. 17 in real life. And her character is the aggressor. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:51 And that's very creepy. Super creepy. Because 17-year-old girls don't run around doing that. It's very unnatural. I don't think 17-year-old girls pursue their best friend's fathers. Not at 17 at least. And they run around topless on the beach with their daddies. They still call daddy.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye. Yeah, I'm not going topless with my dad and my uncle. Not even at 45 years. It's just never going to happen. Listen, I am friends with a bunch of hippie-dippy types, right? And nudity is the rue of the day. And when we've been to like parties in the woods and stuff, there are daughters of men that are there that are nude. But I would say that they're at least in my immediate circle, I wasn't super familiar with these human beings.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And those girls were over 18 years old, if not over 21 years old, number one. Number two, there's like a monocum of respect about the fact. Right. These are the daughters of other people in the crowd. I mean, everyone's a daughter. You behave accordingly. But they're there. Their family is there.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Be mindful, right? About this. It just seems like this is an ill-conceived movie from the beginning, even in 1980. Even in 1984. Oh, it fulfilled somebody's sick. Yes. Now, listen to this. I'm just like going to stop there.
Starting point is 00:30:13 On the real, you saw the part that I saw. You saw a part that I saw, which was Michael Cain is in bed with Michelle Johnson. who's 17 years old at the time in real life and 17 years old in the movie, Michael Kane is 52 or whatever he is. And he says to her, I remember the first time I kissed you. It was your bottom. When your mom was powdering your bottom.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And he said, I'm going to be the first man to kiss it. And he kissed her naked baby bottom. And they keep that in the fucking movie. It's still in the movie. Is this just a reason for Michael Kane, the directors, the writers, the producers to get on set with a bunch of young naked girls.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I think so. And get him in bed. And it worked. It worked. I don't know how he took the role or how his agent let him take the role. I have no idea. I mean, I know Michael Kane is, you know, like, I understand Michael Kane's career is not as illustrious as, you know, Anthony Hopkins or Harrison Ford or whatever.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But he has recently been in every one of those fucking interstellar, you know, all those movies, interstellar. She's still a lot. Just doing some math in my head. I don't know. Let's find out how old he is. When does he turn 100 this year? He must turn 100 this year.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Michael Cain age. Okay, he's 92. So that was 30, 40 years ago. He was 52. He was 52 when that movie came out. Ideos meo. Ideos meo. And so they're definitely obsessed with this.
Starting point is 00:31:49 sexuality of this particular blonde girl, the dad, exclaims that he does not have his daughter on the pill. Michael Cain is now worried that he's gotten the child pregnant. Yes, it's all in the movie. No, shit. You didn't put, we put, he talks about how they put, Demi Moore's character. We put her on right away. Why are, who talks about this? openly like this
Starting point is 00:32:19 and then apparently the daughter had made some pact that she would call her dad before she had sex with a boy and she didn't call her dad before she had sex with his best friend Michael Kane's like but what if she was on the beach and she's begging Michael Kane the whole time to tell dad
Starting point is 00:32:37 about the affair we're in love yes yes the whole movie is so it's just so bizarre it's given me chills I told you I still feel weird from it. I want to, like, say, I am not approved by any stretch of the imagination. I am no, like, Daddy Dugo. No, me either. But I have daughters. And I just, like, something, like, the protective nature in me comes out. Yeah. When I even hear the storyline, like, how I would murder my best
Starting point is 00:33:05 friend is what I'm thinking, if he decided to have an affair with my daughter at any age, let alone underage. And here's a little factoid that Christina, that, that, uh, that, uh, Tina and I, learned during the break the other girl the other child is demi more and demi more was 14 years old when she filmed this movie 14 years old and she is also topless in this movie how is this even still on prime i don't know i don't know why did i watch it there are parents that get arrested for putting pictures of their children in baths on face on facebook how that's right we're just Amazon is just like... Where was Demi's mom in all of this?
Starting point is 00:33:50 Like, this is crazy. I have no idea. Listen, this is just a long line in a history of women and men who have basically hoard their children out to Hollywood. Yeah. And they don't do anything to protect them on the opposite.
Starting point is 00:34:03 They over-sexualize them. It happened famously with Brookshield is like the most famous example of this. Yeah, that is. As her mom just basically fed her to the wolves and did not care. She was also 14-year. years old. When she started doing, like, hyper-sexual Calvin Klein ads, there's a movie out, a
Starting point is 00:34:20 lifetime documentary, I think, or an HBO documentary or something about Brooke Shields. And that time period in her life, when she was, like, famously nine or ten years old. Was she topless in guest ads when she was a minor, too? She was topless, yes. She was topless when she was a minor, 14 years old. But go back even further, nine or 10 years old. There was a famous photographer, took a bunch of new photographs of her with makeup on and like in these there I wouldn't so yeah I don't even think you can see the real photographs anymore I hope not I think they've been scrubbed online but you can see ones with the blacked out version of it and the amount of makeup that she has on in those it's just disturbing and her mom at the time defended it as art fine art right it's fine art it's not fine art
Starting point is 00:35:08 It's the hyper-sexualization of children. Of a child, yep. And for money and fame and wealth and past, you know, and to get her daughter, like, I can understand you want your daughter to be rich and famous and all that good stuff, but at what expense? At what cost, yeah, it's insane. At what cost, Brooke Shields has now spent a lifetime trying to kind of scrub that part of her life from her mind and from everybody else's mind. And she had no say in the matter.
Starting point is 00:35:36 None, nine or ten years old. You don't have any saying that. If your mom says it's okay, you're doing it, right? That's just what you do. And then the movie Blue Lagoon, which we've all seen, it has run on fucking basic cable. It does every year somewhere on basic cable. That movie. America loves that movie.
Starting point is 00:35:52 I just don't. I'm sorry. I don't like it. I have never liked it. It's hard to watch. Yeah, first of all, there's very little dialogue. It's kind of boring. Who cares?
Starting point is 00:36:00 They're on an island, whatever. blah, blah, blah. But I think we could have gotten the point with some clothing on, too. We could have gotten the point with a couple of palm leaves over the kids. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. We didn't need to have full penis and bush hats on these kids. Adam and Eve it for crying out loud.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I know. Oh, for God's sakes. Okay. You ready? You want to hear some of the reviews? As I'll ever be. Okay. By the way, 7% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:36:24 7%. At least the majority of people have their head screwed on straight. Rotten tomato reviews. I'm going to call these guys out by name. Michael L. says, I don't understand the negative reviews here. I've watched this movie since the 80s, and I've always enjoyed watching it. Sure, it's creepy, but it's not like it's a super forbidden topic.
Starting point is 00:36:45 These kind of things happen all the time. Get your head out of your ass. Michael L. Where? Have you seen this happening? Yeah, Michael L. Who's... Yeah. Where do you hang out? Who's best friend's daughter are you sleeping with? Thank you very much. I'm glad I don't know who you are.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Someone find Michael L and do a welfare check on him. Stephen R is, these reviews remind me of how puritanical our society has become. To protect children from the auspices of grown-ass adults. Like yourself, sir. Like yourself? Yes. Well, at least Haywood says, worst music I've ever heard in a movie. It's pretty terrible. It's pretty terrible.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Of all the things he could say, too, he says, it's absolutely bizarre how the director feels the need to put a tropical bird in every scene in the movie. Is that true? Very strange, yes. And they're just sitting there. They're never really doing anything. It's awkward. I want you to find Kirk on this one, guys. You ready?
Starting point is 00:37:45 I have over 500 movies, and I bought this because I remember it playing on HBO exactly 40 years ago this week. Why did you put that on your calendar? Creepo. Why do you remember that? Yes. Unless you're a rain man, I'm really worried about it. Or Michael Cain or Jeffrey Bologna.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah, Jeffrey Bologna. By the way, this was just written a couple of days ago. And it says, it's the time. tail end of the early 80s movie nudity but the girls are all stunning i think the problem people have with this is that the star is 17 years old but she's perfect physically perfect why not i am shocked at the low rating i give it a five out of five on the creepy gen x shameless man scale someone check on you kirk i mean honestly that's just weird dude uh this movie is a hidden gem full of laughs and given all of this stupid sensitivity around sexuality this days. Some will find it a bit creepy, but everything
Starting point is 00:38:40 is a fairy tale in this one and the real world is a fairy tale. Okay, so, you know, the guy's not divorced. The other daughter is now worried about all this whole situation because she's like, wait a minute, what's going on? So she calls. Yes. And the wife shows up in Rio. She's having affair with the father of the daughter that's sleeping with her husband. No. So now he has grounds now to say
Starting point is 00:39:09 get off your high horse, I might have slept your daughter, but you're fucking my wife. This sounds like a, how did this even pass? How did anyone ever decide to put money into this movie? It's like, it sounds like the worst script. It would be interesting if there were adults involved in it. Then you could maybe make it and had some comedy along the way. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Then it would be interesting. If these were 30 year old girls, you know yes i have to be honest of the first 20 reviews are all from men who find this to be not problematic because the girls are beautiful that's not the issue and i understand there's what is the difference between a 17 and an 18 year old i don't know i don't know what this i don't know she can go to jail now yes somebody should have gone to jail on her behalf that's correct for this the difference to me is is just allowing children to be children and unmolested by a certain type of energy that you are permitting for as long as
Starting point is 00:40:10 possible. And I'm not saying that should be until 25. I don't know the answers to all that. I don't have those answers. And of course, some kids are more mature than others. And of course, some kids are more physically mature than others. But there is a line in the sand. We have drawn it as a society. For a reason. That's correct. And for a reason, right? And I think we would be well suited to try our best to just let kids be kids to the last possible moment when we have to let them in on this shitty fucking situation that's going on here. And that city shitty situation is Michael Cain's wrinkly ass penis. They're going to be sexualized soon enough. Let me not be part of that. Yes, let me not be part of it. Well, now you've done it. You've streamed it.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Now Michael Cain's getting a check in the mail. 0.7 cents. Tina. I hope that when he dies, Michelle Johnson gets all of his royalties. Well, I hope Michelle Johnson is getting royalties. You know, that's the other thing. Back in the 80s, kids were treated so miserably in the industry. They probably still aren't. Her mom got him, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Yeah, her mom got him and probably gave her nothing. There was like that child labor law came in to be, I think, in the 90s or something like that. I don't know. We'll ask Corey Feldman next time we see him. Changing subjects altogether. Corey Feldman is an absolute lunatic that I am. I'm so obsessed with. I love that you follow him because I don't, so I get updates whenever you. He has put out some new video, the AI video. He's putting out new music. People.
Starting point is 00:41:38 No. More music? Yeah. Like, I think I just can't understand whether or not this is a Kaufman situation, or are we watching the world's biggest bonehead run around thinking he knows more than we do. Like, is he really in belief of his own talents? Or is he punking everybody? Or is he punking everybody? Or is it a little? a little mix of both. Like, he believes in his own talents, but he understands people, you know, are... He gets that he's the joke. He gets that he's the joke. I hope it's a little of both. I hope so, too, for Cory Feldman's own sanity, say. But I bring up child acting to say that, you know, Corey has notoriously been outspoken about abuse of minors inside of the Hollywood industry. He's called a lot of people out by name. He's called a lot of people out on behalf of his former best friend, Corey Haim, out. One of those people was Charlie Sheen. He said that Charlie had, you know, assaulted Corey Haim, that Corey Haim had told him that. But I found an interesting real, and I'd like your thoughts on it.
Starting point is 00:42:38 Well, maybe we'll take a break and we'll get the thoughts on the, on, in the background. There is a growing contingent of people who believe that Michael Jackson may have been wrongly accused the entire time of indecent situations with children. I don't know how much I believe that. I think there's like kind of a mountain of evidence that Michael Jackson was a little weird with kids, but there are some people out there who are getting a little louder about their defense of him. And one of the things that they are using, one of the, one of the kind of hooks they're putting in the mountain to pull themselves up and talk about this, is that Cory Feldman and, now I can't remember his name, the kid from Home Alone, McCauley Calkin,
Starting point is 00:43:23 have both vehemently defended Michael Jackson. denied that he ever did anything wrong with children and both of them have also been loudly outspoken about other predators inside the industry yes so they're like why just defend michael jackson wouldn't you know if you're going to let the cat out of the bag say it all now they could just be doing that because they love michael jackson they don't want it to be true they weren't the they weren't the targets they weren't the victims but other people were but you know i don't no, no, it's an interesting conversation to have. Listen, Michael Jackson was a weird motherfucker. Agreed. Weird mother fuck. He had a very weird upbringing as well. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:03 that just, the industry just creates weirdos. I agree. Especially the earlier you get into it, the more likely you are to become a weirdo. He had a crazy fucking father. Crazy. Who beat the shit out of all of them. Massively abusive. Massively abusive, addict, terrible human being, just every, well known to be a terrible human being. Yeah, pimping his kids out. Pimpin his kids out, just like, you know, Brooke Shield's mom. Yep. And then Michael, one of the youngest of the brood. Oh, he's youngest. I thought Janet was the youngest. Oh, of the boys. Of the boys. Youngest of the boys. And then the boys were also abusive too, and they were, you know, having
Starting point is 00:44:39 sex with women, like in the same bed where Michael was just like a weird upbringing. And I think he encased himself in this childlike personality. He never got to have one. He never got to have one. Yeah. He was having it later in life. Yes. And I think in my heart, that's all I'm comfortable believing about him. Okay. All right. Fair enough. He was just a weirdo.
Starting point is 00:45:01 It didn't make him nefarious. He was a weirdo. And for some of my childhood, Michael Jackson was my introduction to pop music. Oh, yeah. Me too, for sure. And probably my first musical obsession, Michael Jackson, right? Now, it didn't last for very long. That period didn't last for very long.
Starting point is 00:45:22 But when those albums came out, Bad and Thriller. They were so good. You can't deny, Billy Jean, all that stuff. You can't deny the power of that music and how good that fucking shit. I loved even the later stuff when he was married to Lisa Marie, Man in the Mirror. Man in the Mirror is a beautiful song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big fan.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Listen, me too. But like a lot of people, and I still listen to his music. My kids are listening to his music now. And I don't know what to say. How do you separate the art from the man? I don't know. I don't know that you can sometimes, and I don't have all the answers. But, man, I'll tell you what, later on in life, because I, you know, was an adult in the 2000s when all of that drama was going on with him, I just started to think, well, there's too much smoke.
Starting point is 00:46:11 There's too much smoke. I know. I never watched the documentary. Yeah, you shouldn't watch the documentary if you're, if you want to believe. I just need to go on like this. Astrid and I watched it together and I think we were both
Starting point is 00:46:23 thoroughly convinced when it was done we were like yeah kind of fucking weird yeah that's that's kind of fucking weird
Starting point is 00:46:29 he was kind of fucking weird to children that's the that's the thing but then it's an interesting point to make
Starting point is 00:46:34 that Corey Feldman one of the most outspoken guys about sexual abuse inside of Hollywood he took it to the police multiple times
Starting point is 00:46:42 he's been on every talk show you could ever imagine to wrote the book wrote the book did the whole thing was involved
Starting point is 00:46:47 in a documentary that hasn't seen the light of day but he said He helped with the Weinstein charges too, right? I think he had something to do with something. Yeah, he has been there the entire time through the Me Too movement, all of it. He has been there and he has tried to protect other people.
Starting point is 00:47:02 And then just to protect one person, Michael Jackson, could be. Yeah, you're right. It is strange. It is strange. But McCulley Colkin is the same way, too. He has also been, I don't see he's been as outspoken, but he has talked about abuse inside of Hollywood. And he was over there all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:17 He hung out at Neverland Ranch a lot to my understanding. He was in videos. Yeah. He was in videos. That black and white, Dan, da-lan-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-you know. What a good one. That was a good one.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Another good one. So I don't know. Maybe we'll talk more about it after the break. We're running long now, Tina. Now we're chatting too much on the commercial break. Look at me. I've got to pay some bills. I keep these lights on for the next episode.
Starting point is 00:47:40 All right. We'll be back. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCV. 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-TCB. 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 you're 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.
Starting point is 00:48:25 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. Okay, all right, so we're back. We're talking about Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Some people online are becoming louder and louder in their defense of Michael Jackson. There's always been defenders of Michael Jackson. Sure. A lot of people don't believe that he ever did anything wrong with these children. And in case you weren't alive or you're just not kept up to date on the whole situation, Michael was accused by a number of different children. In famous lawsuits, he was arrested at one point.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I believe he was arrested. He was taken to trial. He was never found guilty, but he died, I think, before some of these charges could be brought against him. But he was accused of molesting children while they were over at Neverland Ranch. Now, Aston and I asked ourselves these questions when we saw this movie. One of these children was just allowed to stay with Michael Jackson in his bedroom for like nights on end. Yeah, this is a parent problem. This is a parent problem.
Starting point is 00:49:30 I don't even let my children do sleepovers. And I'm not sure I ever will because you just can't control what happens in other people's houses. And Michael Jackson, I don't care if you trusted Michael Jackson to the X. Like, this dude would never, like he was your brother. Michael Jackson is a circus And he travels in a constant circus Of people and places and things And that Neverland Ranch was a fucking theme park
Starting point is 00:49:55 And I'm not letting my child spend the night With a strange man Period In his bed? Period. No. Ever. No.
Starting point is 00:50:05 So you're setting yourself up Michael was setting himself up from the beginning To have problems So any way you look at it The optics were not good ever because Michael admitted he famously went on you know did that interview with that fucking Bashir whatever his name was he did that long interview that long ABC interview where he famously was nervous and he admitted he just he didn't come across great it didn't sound like
Starting point is 00:50:30 he was telling the truth and he said he was a very shy person believe it or not but he was a very shy person so I would be too if I didn't have a nose you know what I'm saying he was like always holding his hand up near his nose I didn't do it I didn't touch those kids that's ridiculous That's pretty good That's ridiculous These are lies All these are lies These children
Starting point is 00:50:48 This is so innocent I love children And their little bottoms I love when they run around With their little Now now Hey Sorry
Starting point is 00:50:55 Sorry What you say What you say I can't hear you I don't have years They burned off in the Pepsi Commercial Bashir You're just
Starting point is 00:51:05 You're ugly That's ugly He would say that He would say that He'd be like That's ugliness I don't have any Uglyness
Starting point is 00:51:12 Look at my nose I don't have any ugliness. Can I have my nose back? Oh, the poor guy. Oh, poor guy. He had no nose. And he was hopped up on all those pain meds. His skin was weird and, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Listen, I have seen it in my own personal life. Sometimes people get addicted to the plastic surgery because they get addicted to the medications and they have to. It's like a big vicious circle. And that plastic surgeon just tore that guy apart. I mean, he really did. Michael didn't have a nose. He did not. You can see pictures where it's just like the two nostrils, you know, the two holes in his nose.
Starting point is 00:51:41 He looked like a, yeah, like a sky. skeletal remain. Yeah, he did. He really did. And so in any case, Michael in the optics was not good. He decided to do that interview. It got worse. And then the lawsuits came and then the criminal charges came. But he was, I don't think he was ever found guilty of anything. Right. It's still a question mark. Okay. So now there's this growing contingent of people. It's for a long time now Michael's reputation has really been in the shitter. Now he's dead. He can't even defend himself anymore. But there's a growing contingent of people who claim that Michael never did anything with children. And how do they know that? I don't know. They just, they're defending him for one reason or another. Here is Corey Feldman. I think this is, I think this is maybe like seven years ago.
Starting point is 00:52:28 He's with Matt Lauer. I believe that children are being abused by $5,000. Absolutely. So why are you sitting down talking to me? Why aren't you sitting down with the police right now? I've told the police. I sat there and I gave them the names. But they were scanning Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:52:44 All they cared about was trying to find something on Michael Jackson. You said, by the way, did not have... Who Michael was innocent. You've said you've had death threats. Another reason, I think, to go to police. That's a crime to threaten someone's life. I've gone to the police with that as well. What would be wrong with going to the police now again?
Starting point is 00:52:59 There's a statue of limitations, Matt, in the state of California, which protects people. It's not that way in New York. It's that way only where the movie industry is, conveniently enough, in California. If I were to go to the police, I would be the way. who's getting sued. Okay. So this is just one of the many hundreds of times that Corey has been out there loud and proud saying Michael did nothing. And when I took this other stuff to the police, the statute of limitations had run out and all they wanted to hear about was Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:53:27 They didn't care about anything else I was saying. They just wanted Michael, Michael, Michael. So now other people are saying they were just out to get them. Right? For what reason? I don't know. I mean, you know, when you travel in circles with very rich, very powerful people. This is not conspiratorial thinking. This is just me being real pragmatic. When you travel in those circles, you're going to have to, and you interact with those people, you're going to have to watch your back a little bit, because you may get involved in something, you may see something, you may hear something, you may say something that rubs people the wrong way and people who have the ability to take action and make sure that you behave in the way they want you to
Starting point is 00:54:11 behave. And I think the bigger that you get, the larger the target on your back, we all know that to be a fact. And this is just the way that it is. Maybe Michael knew something, said something, had something, did something. Maybe, yes. Maybe people wanted his catalog. Maybe other people wanted to sue him to get out his money, though I hear he was always very generous with his money that probably could have just asked. I don't know. But, you know, when you got billions of dollars worth of royalties, but the thing was is that Michael was kind of broke. Like, I mean, like, I didn't have any money. Neverland went bankrupt, I believe.
Starting point is 00:54:44 It did. It got foreclosed on multiple times, I believe. So this leads to an interesting other conversation that I'm going to share here on the commercial break. And I'm going to try and take the politics completely out of it. I'm not going to speculate or make conjecture. I'm just going to share a story. This may get banned. They may take this off the streaming services or YouTube.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I don't know. A couple of days ago, let me start at the beginning. there was a special election, I believe, in New Jersey, because a Republican House member left. Arizona. Oh, Arizona. I'm sorry. And a Democrat was voted in. Correct.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It is incumbent upon the Speaker of the House to swear that person in a special session. But the Speaker largely has control of when that special session happens. Largely. largely he's it's been delayed i think twice now okay when the shoe was on the other foot and there was a special election where a republican one mike johnson took heed to do instantaneously post haste right so there's a lot of whining and complaining on the democrat side because this woman who has been elected this democrat represents maybe the vote that will allow the epstein files to get released so there is a lot at stake with just this one woman's, this poor woman's special election.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Poor lady. Yeah. And she's already said she's going to vote to allow the Epstein file. She's going to vote with the Democrats and some Republicans to allow the Epstein files to be released without getting into that whole fucking quagmire. There are some people on the left who are really upset that Mike Johnson keeps delaying this. And so the other day, you may have seen that a young man, who I'm not going to name here, he put out a real video. on TikTok first, then it went to Instagram, where he claimed that he had a grinder profile of Mike Johnson
Starting point is 00:56:48 and the IP address to prove that it was Mike Johnson using that account. And he said, Swear her in by Wednesday, which is today as we're recording. Or I release the files. I release the information I have. I'm not fucking around, I'm not above it, I don't care, fuck you, essentially. And he said that, right? Then that reel, that guy had about 40,000 followers.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah, not a real big account. Not huge, but he was largely doing political commentary, right? And it's clear that he leans very far to the left. Then that particular reel, that video, then got amplified hundreds of times by accounts much, much bigger than his. Some of the biggest accounts in liberal social media and even some right-wing social media accounts propagated that particular, that first reel where he said this, where he made those, he threatened. Essentially he threatened. You do this or I do that. That's what he said, right? Quid pro quo. Either you get it, you get it done. I keep it safe and sound. You don't do it. I'm releasing the hounds. This morning, this young man came out with a reel, which I'm not. going to play here because i believe that might get banned that might that might be what gets me
Starting point is 00:58:09 banned visibly shaken visibly shaken so everyone's waiting until wednesday a lot of people were like release it anyway who fucking cares i was i was looking at his page while i was watching that's a stupid movie everybody's waiting for this kid to act right this guy probably looks like he's in his 30s today he puts out a reel very visibly shaken this is also being amplified by some of these same accounts because everyone now is waiting for the follow up. What are you going to do? What's your next move? Where he explains that he has talked to some attorneys. He's gotten some legal representation and some new, and he's consulted with some investigative journalists and some respected news organizations. And he has handed over the
Starting point is 00:58:50 materials that he has to multiple different outlets and sources. It is no longer just him who has this information. By the way, these rumors have been going around since March. I did a little investigating myself. He's not the first one to say this. He is not the first one. to claim that Mike Johnson has a grinder account. And if he does, fucking cares. Well, I think why it's... I think the really right-leaning, especially the fundamentalists, will care.
Starting point is 00:59:18 They will care. But I don't care. I don't care. The thing is, you can't then go, like, you know, stomping and tramping all over people's rights and you're part of the group. Like, it just doesn't make sense. Needing protection, yes.
Starting point is 00:59:32 It's a lot of self-hating going on if that's true, right? and I don't know that it's true. It very well could just be a ruse. This guy could just be talking fucking shit. Who knows? Who knows? So he puts out this reel. And then he says, I am some, I've been moved. I'm somewhere safe. I am not a harm to myself. I will not do harm to others. If that happens, it's not me, right? I'm not the one. Yeah. He's shaken. And he explains that this got out of control and I'm in a world of shit, but I'm standing my ground. I'm not back. down. So what does that mean? I don't know. I assume what that means is he's handed over the materials for review by people who can actually vet it. Vet it. Yeah. It's not just a dude on Instagram. Now it's, I don't know. I'm just making conjecture here. 60 minutes, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal. Somebody who's got the bona fides to say, we did the homework. We double checked and triple check. This is legit. This is legit. And our legal team has said we have the right to publish this. So will it come out? I don't know. It might be bullshit. And they might call
Starting point is 01:00:34 bullshit on it or he just could be wrong like is the story going to come out tomorrow if the swear is swearing in i assume isn't going to happen during a government shutdown nope there's no swearing in going to go on during a government shutdown how convenient uh isn't it yeah how convenient this is just like these games that the but i i will share that this goes along with what i was saying about michael jackson and why anyone would target michael jackson because when you mess with the bull you get the horns and he got the horns, or he's getting the horns. Yeah. There have been multiple people who have reported on this guy, who know this guy, who are close
Starting point is 01:01:10 to this guy, that he's now being followed by unmarked vehicles and people. Of course he is. Of course he is. What did you think was going to happen? What did you think was going to happen? Normal citizens who have done nothing wrong. People who are here legally doing nothing wrong are being followed by the military. Right.
Starting point is 01:01:29 By blacked out vehicles and guys with masks and guns and, you know, no badges. and no identifying information. To the point that I don't trust blacked out vehicles anymore. No. I saw. I saw me personally in my own neighborhood. I saw it. I saw a police officer, a marked police officer talking to a guy in a truck with blacked out tinted windows. And on the back, it said, you know, a dealership vehicle without the name of the dealership. and then inside of the car were two guys in full
Starting point is 01:02:03 regalia. Like tactical gear? Tactical gear. Full regalia. No way. And they were talking to the police officer in a parking lot. It looked like a normal car except the blacked out windows. Yeah, the tints is so dark you can't even make out silhouettes inside.
Starting point is 01:02:16 That's it. It's scary, scary shit. And even Homeland Security, it's marked. You can see Homeland Security on the car. It's usually just like a flat black on a shiny paint job. Yes. but these these don't have any markings at all no there's no markings in a lot of cases they're not even they're like minivans it's creepy it's creepy it's weird and it's in our neighborhood it's here in the city right next to me it makes it i i know it's going on because i watch the fucking news and i see on social media but listen we can have the debate all day long about whether or not someone has broken the law by crossing an imaginary line in the sand we can have that debate but they deserve their due in court their day in court, and they also deserve to be respected in the process.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Basic dignity. Basic dignity. And they're not asking who they voted for, by the way. Yeah. No. No. It's not about that. It's not about that.
Starting point is 01:03:12 That's right. So this guy is about to find out what life is like in 2025 under this particular. Yeah. And this America. Because it's a whole different ballgame than it was even just four years ago. It's a whole different ballgame. I'm not saying this hasn't been going on for ever and ever. People in high places.
Starting point is 01:03:30 It's out in front now. It's out in the open. It's out in the open and it is amplified. It's crazy. It is insane. I'm worried for this guy. I'm worried for him too. I don't know if I agree with what he's doing or not.
Starting point is 01:03:42 I'm just a witness to what's going on. I'm not saying, yay, nay, he should be. He shouldn't be any of that stuff. And by the way, I just don't give a shit whether or not someone is gay. I just don't give a shit. But I will share with you. right now that I have real concerns for this guy's safety. Especially seeing the initial post and then seeing today's update.
Starting point is 01:04:03 If he's doing this as a joke, this is the worst prank. He should, yeah, someone has it. My assumption is, and I told this to Tina, my assumption is a lot of powerful people amplified this, people who have millions of followers, people who get hundreds of millions of views, and they probably have very powerful people that watch them, follow them. My assumption is that someone in that audience said, you better get a hold of this guy. real quick before someone else does. Yeah. He needs to be in a safe place. He needs to let this material go to a number of different other safe places. And he needs legal help. He needs lawyers all
Starting point is 01:04:37 around him. And somebody get him a vest. Yeah. Someone get him a vest. That's right. Let's not even get into that one. Let's not to get into one. It's a recent conspiracy theories because Brian's on to one. I'm not a conspiracist. One made in America. Yeah. One made in America. That's right. No Israeli vests. Please. Keep those away. Right. Okay. Ooh, that was a roller coaster. I liked it. Yeah.
