Do you have a program you're using or do you follow some methodology or something? I go, yeah. The 666.6. Yeah, I go the 666 method. Oh, yeah, that's popular, my old people. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. The 30 in the morning! Oh, yeah, guys and kids.

Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy, wholly. A best to you. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Welcome to the Armageddon.

What was that voice? I don't know. I just decided to use a voice. I like it. That's the one I use. Haiti, howdy, hoider, to all the friends out there streaming. Yes, we do want to buy a million views. Give it to us.

The bots jump right on. They jump right on the channel. They know, yeah, they know. There's some enterprising young Russians out there. I think. I read an interesting New York Times article about on the edges of Miramar, war-torn Miramar. There are enterprising young people from all around the world who have built an entire city, city, like well-funded city, apartment complexes, offices, stores, the whole nine yards.

And all they do is scam people across the world. Oh, yeah. There are French, Canadian, there are people from all around the world have made their way to Miramar, in order to live and scam people and they get bonuses per, you know, $5,000 you get to ring a bell. It's a whole farm. Yeah. Millions of phones just clicking away at this and that. It's, uh, welcome.

Welcome. Yeah. I mean, I believe it, considering I get like a million spam calls a day. I mean, thank goodness I've got that service that filters them out. Yeah. Lord. I did not apply for a loan. No.

I did not apply for a loan either. But somebody applied for a loan on my behalf. and now for the rest of my life I will suffer. Yeah. And that's okay. Whatever. I just ignore it all. Yeah, me too.

It's getting to the point where, you know, when I first got a phone, it took some of my attention. Then it was taking all of my attention for a couple of years there. And now I don't like it. I hate my phone. So now it's taking none of my attention. There you go. It's like I leave on, do not disturb 24 hours a day. If somebody texts me, I check text.

once every six hours. And since Apple's intelligent is neither intelligent nor Apple, all of my notifications get turned off regardless. They really do. I know. I was trying to text you this morning. And I even have you as part of my like emergency contact family. So usually yours like, oh my dad got cut off the other day. I was like, what? Yeah, he's like my emergency contact and everything. And it just sent him straight to voicemail. The last Thursday, was it Thursday? Was it Thursday? The Verizon Outage? Oh, right. I was out of a phone for almost 12 hours, 13 hours. Just my phone wasn't there.

It was the best thing ever. You got a vacation. Yeah, until I had to take one of the kids over to one of the rehearsals or something and I wanted to watch something on my phone and I had no service whatsoever. It was terrible. I tried to get on like public library internet. That was a bad outage. It's bad outage.

And some people say it's because one server in New Jersey went down. And other people say, black helicopters are flying over my house. The world is a fucking shit show right now. It is. It is a shit show. But let's talk about the shittiest of the shit show. And I know all of you know who I'm talking about, right? All of you know what the biggest deal in the world is right now. And that is Brooklyn Beckham has gone ape shit on his parents.

Nope, has no plans to reconcile. What are you thinking? You literally got the kiss of the dragon. The kiss of the golden dragon. And your dad and your mom are two of the most beautiful people to have ever lived on earth. And I do not want to make fun of someone the way that someone looks. But Brooklyn is not. Like he did not like he's not the same.

He's not the same cut in structure of his father. Fine. Wonderful. But this seems like a little bit of, first of all, if it's true, what Brooklyn is saying. What is he saying? He's saying that his mom really hates his wife. Oh, right. His mom hates his wife.

She doesn't want anything to do with them. They don't get invited to parties. She caused a lot of drama at the wedding because she didn't want hit Brooklyn to get married to this lady. It's clear that Brooklyn loves this girl because I've seen pictures and videos. And they're literally like on top of each other, licking each other's tonsils. They're on top of each other. So clearly there is something going on between these two. Doesn't that happen in like half family?

It happens in every family. Yeah, right. I deal with it. Keep the family shit private. Yeah, to go burning all of the bridges. It just, it seems like the, it seems like the act of a spoiled child, right? Exactly. And, and listen, I'm not saying that Brooklyn shouldn't feel free to talk about what happened to him,

but writing a book and putting it on social media and making sure that the word, he wrote a book. Everybody fucking write a book. Our agent came to me one time as like, you got a book in you? And I'm like, I'm sure I do. Who the fuck wants to hear it? No one? No one wants, I'm sure I have a book in me. I'm sure I have four books in me. But no one wants to read that shit. And no one wants to read about Brooklyn Beckham's, you know, spoiled milk over the fact that his mom doesn't like his wife. That is most families. Right.

Some people are really good at hiding their disdain for their in-laws. And some are not. And that's just the way it is. And I understand. It's a power, like you live in this world of PR and, you know, well-placed stories that make people look good or bad. You live in a very very. You live in a very. very fanciful, false world. I understand. Good for you for recognizing it, but you're not to bring the whole family down with you. And I am not some super fan of David Beckham or Victoria Beckham. I could give a shit. I just, after having read a lot about it, I think it feels to me like just a kid lashing out at his parents because he's not getting what he wants, which is his mom to be in love with his wife. Well, you know what? That doesn't happen a lot of times. So, and you're really fucking your your inherence up, aren't you? Well, she's, who he married is like extremely wealthy.

Oh, well, then there you go. Yeah. Then just don't say anything at all. Yeah, he's emboldened by the fact that no matter what happens, he's going to be living on the high hog. You are one of the few lucky people who have won the genetic lottery. Maybe not in the looks and stature, but you won the genetic lottery in the sense that you're, you are never going to be without ever.

Your parents are billionaires. You're never going to be without. Your wife's never going to be without your children if you have them are never going to be without. Leave it at that. But here's the thing that I kind of as I went down the rabbit hole of Brooklyn Beckham. He went down the rabbit hole. I did. He has tried to like invent himself as a celebrity a number of times to no great fan for.

He was going to be a celebrity chef. He went on the Today Show. I have never seen a cooking segment like this before. Those two anchors could not have... First of all, it was like the Today Show number four. Do you know what I'm talking about? Fourth Hour or whatever? Yeah, the fourth hour.

The one that happens at 1 o'clock in the afternoon on a channel you can't get on streaming only on some internet site. And he was trying to cook a simple English sandwich. Bacon, sausage, eggs, ketchup. bacon egg sausage eggs ketchup even i could do that and i'm not i'm no chef and it just looked gross like the bacon wasn't cooked the sausage was falling apart he was smearing it and ketchup and the anchors they were desperate to get out of the segment like desperate and he was just taking his dear sweet time they were like okay okay hurry up hey hey hey all right put the bacon on there's the eggs there you go they were desperate to get out now he's going on tour now Brooklyn is going on tour he's got a book

coming out. Of course. This is what you do. You strike out on your own. You got to make a big stink. You got to make sure people know who exactly the fuck you are. And who the fuck are you? I don't know. You're the kid of Victoria and David. That has got to be a difficult punishment in life. Like being a royal. It's got to be a difficult punishment. Yeah. I mean, I see where, you know, you want to break out and have your own identity and that kind of thing. But you don't have to do it that way. You could do it with a little bit more class. I mean, you honestly could. Everyone, you know, people are going to see this as spoiled milk. Hey, South Georgia Sean. Hello, hello. Hey. All right. And then there's Ohio Shannon. Oh, they're recognizing South Georgia

Sean in the chat. We're streaming right now. For those of you the listening on the podcast version, we're streaming right now. People are in the chat. South Georgia Sean is showup. He's like a celebrity in the chat now. People are like, it's South Georgia Sean. Hey, hi, Shannon. Hi, Hi, everybody. Thank you for joining us. So, yeah, I, you know, I understand. It's not an easy life. Everything is about perspective. Everyone's got problems. But let's look at the world around us. And let's evaluate whether or not you and your wife, your mom and your wife, snipping at each other is really of national news importance. Apparently it is because everyone's talking about it. So there you go. There are so. Beckham name attached to it.

Yes. There are so many more important things going on. Strike out on your own, have your own identity helping the world. Yeah, when you take all that money and go like, you know, start a food bank or something. I don't know that you didn't, but let's go start a food bank. Why don't you go, you know, I don't know, to Miranmar and break up all of these phone banks that are trying to sell us views. Oh, kick. So anyway, great weekend.

Here at the house, the in-laws left. Oh, they did? I was going to ask. Yes, they left. I didn't know if they were making their way back to Venezuela. They made their way back to their home of Venezuela, unharmed. Good. Okay, good. They're back in their house, and everything seems to be okay. They got there fine. Like, everything turned out okay. Yeah. I mean, at least I haven't heard any different. I heard that a couple of days ago. It is great news because I was getting concerned. Because one of the legitimate concerns is, I'm here yapping about my.

family in Venezuela 24 hours a day, but they have to go home. Right. And the current regime, the people that are still in charge of Venezuela are really no different than the last people. I was going to say I'd be interested to hear their perspective on as things evolve down there, how things are changing, hopefully for the better. Well, the heliocide, the place where they torture political dissidents, has started to release people. They've released Americans that were being held down there. They have released some people. who were caught up in the melee after Maduro was taking out. They were looking at phones and putting people in custody and people were pro-Moduro leaving the country, like anti-Moduro. They were putting them in handcuffs. And apparently those people have now been released due to pressure from Marco Rubio and the State Department. So we'll see, you know, I think right now and I don't want to talk about it too much in-depth, but just know that they are there and they are safe and they are good. So we'll continue to see how this evolves. But it's funny. The news cycle move, so fucking fast that no one remembers anything about Venezuela.

No, it's all focused on Greenland now. Who happened? Yeah, it's like a very interesting time to be alive. Yeah. Because the news cycle literally lasts for four hours until someone tweets something. Yeah, until you look at your phone next and see a new headline. Yeah, it's, I don't know. But anyway, Chicago Bears.

Yes. We don't talk about the Bears. The Bears. The Bears lost and a nail biter. I know. I really wanted them to win. Six fucking degrees in snowing in Chicago. It was so cold.

That is a football game. I love it. I mean, I love to sit in the heat and watch it. Yeah, exactly. I have no interest in being in Soldier Field. No. And Soldier Field is like right off the lake.

It's like a really windy cold place. It's all that shit just swirls around. Looking at it. Yeah, everything was swirling. Bend to one game. All I remember was being cold. That's all I remember was being cold and I have no interest. But anyway, football's getting interesting.

last night was a national championship's playoffs and Fernando Mendoza Indiana wins for the first time ever. Listen. What a story. I don't give a shit. Like I'm not a sports guy, right?

You know, you've listened to the show. I'm not a sports guy. There's a couple sports that I keep up with. I like college football because I like to root for a team, whoever that happens to be. I like to, you know, UGA or whatever. I like to root for a team and see what happens. College football seems like they're playing

like for the love of the game. and $7 million. I was going to say, although not so much anymore now. Yeah, the NIL. I just realized that Carson Beck, the football player, he did not even in college. He graduated two years ago.

This is the funniest shit to me. He graduated two years ago. He was the one that was driving around because he was at UGA, you know. He was driving around town in his Lamborghini. He was driving around town his Lamborghini before the NIL. And people were like, how'd you get that Lamborghini? And he's like, I don't know. I don't know.

What are you talking about, my Lamborghini? I borrowed it from a friend. It was, this has always been going on. But the NIL levels to playing field. But I, I have a friend. I won't say who. You'll be able to figure out. I have a friend who is being pitched by his alma mater to like, they need a quarterback.

So they're like desperate to get a quarterback. So my friend has some money. So they're keep pitching him, you know, donate, donate. They're asking for $1.5 million. But he is. one of like 3,000 alumni they're asking money for. Yeah, it's just a big money game now. Yeah, it really is. The schools that can compete that have, you know, deep pockets of big alumni, University of Texas, Indiana, Miami, UGA. But this really kind of levels the playing field in the sense that

if you got a couple of guys that did well after they went to college and they really like their school, you know, you can buy some players. That's what you do. But it's got something's, I don't know how long this can go. I mean, how long can it go? I don't know. Anyway, Indiana won. last night in a fucking fantastic final quarter of football. I mean, the game was good, but the final quarter was unbelievable. That kid Mendoza, what's wrong with his mom? She has ALS. She has ALS. Okay. Every time they pan to her, I just like, I just got goosebumps. Yeah. I was like, wow, you know, that's unbelievable. Here you are struggling to keep your head upright and your son is muscling his way, using his body in every way possible, contorting and

jumping and scrambling to make a dream come true. Yeah. And I thought it was lovely, actually. I thought it was lovely. It's always good when there's a story, you know? I know. Always like those endings, too, when everybody's celebrating and it's just, it's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They do it.

They do a good job. They always make it. There's a human story somewhere. They're going to find it and they figure it out. And I love that. That's why I like, that's quite frankly why I like college football too. It's because you watch professional football and it's like, oh, you know, big burly millionaire hits other burly millionaire.

I mean, there's some good games, but when it gets to the playoffs. But I much prefer college football. Yeah, it's more human. But we'll see, we'll see what happens. You know, and right around the corner, the Masters. A tradition like no other. We've got the Super Bowl for that, but yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. Looking forward to the Masters. And then the Olympics. Olympics are coming up. Yes, they are. The Winter Olympics. Is it just me or am I not as excited about the Winter Olympics as I am about the Summer Olympics? Yeah, I think a lot of people.

Well, I don't know. You've got ice skating. Everybody loves that. I'm not into ice skating. Well, wait, because this is what we were, hold on, four years ago. Yeah. When we were watching the Olympics before, remember we were doing little commentaries and stuff. Yes.

Curling. Curling. Yeah, that was the whole. Curling. The one, yeah. You throw the puck or the rock. You throw the rock. You throw the rock.

You throw the rock. Yeah. You know, scratches the ice. Yes. Absolutely. I love that. I love where you scratch the ice. Yeah.

rubbing the ice real quick. That really makes me excited. And then, you know, snowboarding, skiing. Downhill skiing is pretty fun to watch. The skiing and the snowboarding is a lot of fun. Skiing and the snowboarding. Yeah, I love it all. Ice skating.

I mean, I listen. When I was younger, that was like a big deal. My mom likes the ice skating. Hi, Brian. Are you watching the ice skating? No, Mom, I'm not. Because my mom went ice skating one time and they like, you know, she had a coach. And they like coached her out of twirl.

And so I think it was like her dream to be a professional ice skater. That didn't happen. So she now, but, you know, it's like me. Anytime, you know, anytime there's a rock and roll band on TV, I tell my kids, hey, check that out. You see those guys? I did the same thing. To far fewer people and much smaller stages. Actually, it wasn't a stage.

It was a garage. It was in a rug in someone's living room. I was going to say, it was the senior living. It was the senior living. Shady Oaks Retirement Center. Oh, everybody's in the chat having a good time. It looks like South Georgia-Shon is holding court over there. Oh, good.

Yeah, good for you. Keep it down. Hold the fort down over there, South Georgia, Sean. We would appreciate it. Nice. Yeah, these people are agreeing with me about college football. Yeah, it does feel like college football, even though now these guys are millionaires, too, some of them are millionaires too. It feels to me like they're still doing it.

Exactly. And you can see, too. I mean, you don't see a lot. of that with the NFL players where their mom who took them to every single practice when they were young is right there. And you see a lot more of that with like the parents really being, you know, all the dedication that they, I mean, it's a lot of work. Of course. For the parents, too. All the practices and the money that goes into it and the time. One of my kids is into gymnastics. She happens to be good, but she's tiny. She's like, I know I say tiny. She's young.

and we're already getting the coaches who are saying, okay, take her under our wing and try to turn of her. And I'm like, first of all, I don't want her to break her neck. Like, you know, like, I get nervous. Like, they're asking her to do some, like,

stuff that she's flying in the air and all this other stuff. She loves to do it. But your body, I see a body is like a battery, right? It's only got so much life in it. And if you push those kids so hard physically when they're young and growing,

you know. Yeah, there's something to be said for that. I have mixed emotions about pushing my kids into additional sports. She's already doing it three times a week. Don't we need to have her doing it eight times a week? You know, two-hour practices, all that other stuff. And there's no guarantees that anything happens. And one injury, and it could alter her life forever.

And then she won't be able to do the thing that she enjoys. So for me, at this age, I'm kind of like, let her relax. Yeah, have fun with it. But then again, I look at those, you know, those gymnasts, they're nine. They're nine years old. They're nine years old with, you know, big, like huge, thick legs and, you know, who's that? Who's, who, Simone Biles? Yeah, Simone.

Let her come back. We don't, you don't need my daughter. Let Simone Biles do it for the rest of her life. Even at 60, she's going to be better than some of the girls that are out there right now. That's just my opinion. So anyway, lots more to talk about. Everyone's settled down. I know it's been a very, you know, crazy couple of weeks.

Yeah, since January 1st. Yes. Just since January 1st, we now own Venezuela, Greenland, and part of Canada. Yeah. So, or according to some people, I don't know. But anyway, we'll try and give you a break from all that stuff. We'll try. Yeah. We'll try to give you a break from all that.

We'll think about trying. Yeah, we'll think about trying about not talking about politics too much on the show. But if you want us to talk about that, if you have any ideas, if you have any ideas about what you want to talk about. Drop it in the stream. Yeah, let us know. Yeah. I mean, that's part of the, part of the reason why we want to go live, right?

Part of the reason why we want to go live and why we want you, the listeners on the podcast, to join us when we go live, is so that we can get you involved. See, there's a fun little group going on in there. Everyone's having a good time. Actually read it. I can't see. Yeah, there's South Ohio Lauren or something. Now everyone's got a name in the chat.

So give yourself a name. Have some fun. Right. We'll try and read it with our old eyeballs and we'll see if we can figure out. I'm going to bring my banana. You really do have to. We have the world's biggest TV in front of us, and we have seven TVs in the studio. Still can't read what you said.

I mean, I can a little bit, but not read it. It's far away is the thing. Yeah, it's far away. Maybe we should just put it right in front of us. Yeah. Maybe I should get a thousand-inch TV. Should we get a projector in here? I'm just going to bring, you can wear your monocle.

Yeah. I'll bring up it on. South Jones is shown. Who's that? All right, let's take a break. We always go long. We do. Look, we're already 25 minutes into the damn show.

It's halfway over and we still got four more segments to go. All right, we'll be back. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple. Astrid asked me to shut Brian up, even for a minute. Well, lovely, Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid, too? You know you do.

Leave a message for her, or me or Chrissy, at 212-4333-3-T-CB. That's 212-433-3822. You can be on the show, too. Mm-hmm. Just call and say something. Anything. Or text us and we'll text you're right back. Promise.

And watch all the episodes on video. at YouTube.com slash the commercial break. Best to you and Astrid, especially Astrid. Best to you, best to you, best to you, best to you.

All right, okay, okay, settle down. All right, I just figured that I can throw up the comments onto the screen. We're figuring this out as we go along. Hey, everybody in there. I see Jenny in there. There's a bunch of people in there. Hey, guys, how are you? Lauren.

Lauren. She's been admitted into a group. Lauren has been admitted into the group. There's more central Florida people. I have a feeling that we have a lot of Florida listeners. I mean, I'm a feeling. I see it on our chat. We have a lot of Florida listeners. And that tracks. That tracks.

Brains are frying with a commercial break and all that sun down there. But I love Florida. Don't get me wrong. God damn, do I love Florida. I love it. It's a dream come true every time I go down to Florida. Every time I go down to Florida, I feel like I'm in heaven. I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be.

That smell, that fresh smell of the wood factories. You know, and they're making the paper mills? Have you ever been to a beach town where they have a paper mill? Close to it. Like Amelia Island has a paper mill? That's what it was, Amelia Island, yeah. That smell. But you get used to it.

It's like this sweet, toxic, I'm burning my nose hairs out kind of smell. Pollution. Yeah, that's right. Wow, I was watching a, so I belonged to all these. Amelia Island groups. Oh, yeah. And I was watching somebody put the funniest fucking thing up. So they have a dock down in the harbor at Fernandina, which is the town.

And the town is on the harbor side. It's on the inlet side, right? And so the ships come in there. There's fishing boats. And they have recently renovated it so they can get big yachts in there and all this other stuff. But they have all these cameras down there. And there's two fucking nudniks, you know, Mike and Jim or whatever his name is. And they decide they're going to go on the dock.

piss on a door, like a storefront door, and like steal a camera and then put shaving cream on other cameras. These guys are like in their mid or late 20s. They're not, they're clear, yeah, they're clearly tourists from Amelia Island. Like, you know, they don't look like local Floridians. They look like a couple guys who wear pop collars. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And the funny, the person who wrote the, they put the video up, the ring doorbell video up the Ness camera, whatever it was. And they wrote the funniest thing. It's like, I may tease, take a look at these two pirate.

One pirate decides to pee while the other one says, Mike, there's a camera. And he does. He goes, hey, Mike, there's a camera. Hey, Mike. He used his name. Then the other guy is like, what? What did you say, Jim? It's like they said their names.

And it's like, pirates shouldn't use each other's names when doing pirate stuff. Help us find these two. I bet they get some interesting footage. Yeah, they probably do. I mean, they probably put the cameras on there, so they make sure if someone falls over, they can catch it. And what they call it was two pirates being pirate assholes. I can understand kind of why Florida, first of all, I think that Florida gets a bad rap, like the Florida man thing. Now there's a whole show on HBO called It's Florida Man.

It is really funny. It is really funny. But part, this is. And they have the real people on there, too. They do. Sometimes they get the real people to tell the stories about how. of their shitheads. Part of the reason why Florida gets all of these wild stories is because of the public

access. Yeah. As soon as you're arrested in Florida and the officer writes a report and files that report, which is usually within 24 hours of you being arrested, sometimes much quicker, it goes up in the system and then anybody can see it as long as you know where to look, right? And so they have all the, like, these news, you know, these places that get these articles, they have these screen scrapers. They just go in and start, you know, looking for certain words or phrases or whatever.

So I think that everyone across the country is just as bad shit crazy. Oh, yeah. But in Florida, there's two reasons why you get more of these stories. Number one, the public accessibility to all of the stories. But number two, because Mike and Jim, that's why. Because Mike and Jim are shithead tourists that come down to Florida and pee all over the front doors of shops. Everyone goes down to Florida and thinks like the law doesn't exist. You know, I'm down on vacationing.

So it's like these Americans that go into all of these far-flung locations and start acting the idiot. Yeah, at like world heritage sites and stuff across the world. Yeah. There's blue. Hey, say to blue everybody. Shannon says she used to work in a ferry in Mayport. Mayport is very close to Fernandina Beach. So I think that when like we, my rule is when you go to a far-flung location, when we go to wherever, Spain, Europe, wherever.

Islands, Florida, you know, 12 miles from my house. I always think to myself, try not to stand out. Try not to stand out, right? Don't be a fucking moron. Act like a local or try and act like a local or at least don't make trouble for the locals because that is why we all get a bad rap when we go around the world. That and trying to invade Greenland. Those things can give us bad news.

They can give us bad looks. Right? Yeah, it's a bad look. The thing is that when you go down to Florida, I get it. You're going down there. Vacation. Vacation. You have a few extra beverages.

You know, you're feeling good. The sun is baking you. Yeah, it's a true thing. It's a serious thing. When you get all that sun in you, you feel high in life. It's a little extra vitamin D. That's why you go to the tanning bed. Right.

That's why I go to the tanning bed. That's why I go to the tanning bed. I had to break up with my tanning bed. And let me explain why. This is a good segue here. So it's probably been about seven years, six years, since I've been to a gym, like an actual gym. Well, you went that one time. We talked about it on the show.

One time. That was funny. That guy was funny. So I went back to that gym because Astrid's part of that gym. I go back to that gym and we use the friends and family pass. that you get, right? And I go in there, and Astrid says to me, whatever. This is recent.

This is recent. Over the weekend, she says, you want to go to the gym with me? And I said, no. Actually, I really don't want to go to the gym with you. And she said, and I said, why don't I go take a run? I'll take a run. Because I like running. I said, let me go take a run.

I'll drop you off the gym. I'll come pick you back up. But then I step outside and I realize that I have no fucking interested. I'm too old to be running in 22-degree weather. Yeah. That was me when I was in my late 20s. Now my bones are brittle. I can't handle it.

I'm afraid they're going to bring. I got calcium problems. Calcium freezing. So I say, ah, you know what? I'll go to the gym with you. I'll go run on the treadmill. There you go. So I go run on the treadmill. I walk in. They, this is kind of embarrassing, actually. You know, they, Astrid goes, he's my, I'm going to use him on my past. And the guy goes, great. I just need your ID. And then have you ever been here before? And I said, I did. It was years ago. I don't remember. And then he gives me, he gives me the tablet. And he says, find your email address and log in. And I find my email address, which is like an email from six years ago. And then it also, and it says, you know, you've been here one time. Your membership expired due to non-payment. Oh, no. Did you have to pay? No, he was like, you're good.

Don't worry about it. You know, as it's flashing. Non-payment, non-payment. You're one of six million people that cancel their membership by cutting off the credit card. Right. And this is the big time for the gyms. Oh, the biggest. And they have salespeople dripping all over the place.

I mean, it's a weekend afternoon, and there are just like seven people like meandering behind the counter. Oh, yeah, advertising. Yeah, and they're all like looking at you. That was the biggest. January is the biggest month for that. So I give the guy my ID and he says, I'm going to give your ID to Ellen, whatever her name is, Ellen. And she'll have it when you're ready to go. And I already know the score here. I'm like, Ellen is not the friendly lady behind the counter.

Ellen is a salesperson for a timeshare company known as Crunch Fitness. I'm going to get fucked. So I go and so I'm like, okay, all right, I know the deal. I'll find a excuse not to talk to Ellen at the end of the thing. So I go and I run and then I do a little working out and feels good. That's good. Once you do it, it feels good. That's right.

Well, until after we wake up the next morning. Well, right. And I can't move my abs. No, I know. I've been trying to get back. to strength training. And it's those first few times. But if you push past that.

Yeah. But it really hurts. I have this cough that doesn't go away. And so I did, I only, my thing is that I do four muscle groups. Yeah. And I do what's called six by six. You do six repetitions six times of the heaviest weight that you can do. Oh, God.

Yeah. So you start, so I start off like the heaviest I can do. And then I'll bring it down a little bit. bit if I'm stressed, if I, if I can't get those last reps in, I bring it down a little bit. But it's muscle confusion and you're really just going for heavyweight short bursts, right? And so I did that on the crunch machine. And Chrissy, I have this goddamn cough. I can't lay down in the bed without like putting my hands down first and like maneuvering my body.

So I don't have to use my abs. Every time I cough, I'm like, it hurts me so bad. I know. After doing squats and lunges, I mean, those first. few times. It's like, I can't bring it to sit down. Oh, made you cough just thinking about it. Did your abs hurt? It hurts. It hurts. It hurts up here.

So, I go, I do the workout. Then I see it the crunch fitness. They have all these doors. It says, relax. And I'm like, oh. And Asher did told me one time in a far-flung conversation where she was trying to convince me to stop paying so much money for the goddamn tanning bed. She was like, you know they have a tanning bed at the gym that she's, that she's can use for free. And I'm like, now that's not true. They don't have, that's not true. So I see these new doors relax. So I just go behind the little area and I'm looking at all, looking into the doors. They have these massage chair, massage tables, like the electronic ones.

Yeah. That in like in case you and the little thing that they have massage chairs. They have four tanning beds. Oh. Stand up tanning beds. So I go to the, the front counter and I said, hey, can I use it? And she goes, and this is, and then Ellen comes. And she's like, there's she's looking for you. And she's like, hey, I'm Ellen. And I'm like, hi, Ellen. I'm Jason. And she's like, do we have you, are you a member? And I go, I'm not. I'm just here with my wife on a friends and family. And she's like, let me find your ID. And I go, did I say Jason? I meant Brian, because now I'm embarrassed, you know, because I'm lying. And she's like, she gets, oh, here it is, Brian. Okay, great. We don't,

usually allow people to use the tanning bed when they're on the friends and family pass. But I'll tell you what, why don't you use it? I'll wave it this time. And once you come talk to me when you're done, we'll talk about your 2026 fitness goals. And I'm like, fuck, I really want to use the tuning bed. But I don't want to talk about my fitness goals because I don't have any. I have none. People are commiserating in the chat about this feeling of,

New Year, New Year, New You. So here I am in the tanning bed, and I'm thinking to myself, how do I get out of this? How do I get out of this? So Astrid had left, and she had gone to the store down the way in the little complex. And so I said, great, I'll be there as soon as I'm done. And then I'm thinking to myself, I'm telling this lady, my wife's waiting for me. I got to go. She's a bag of groceries.

The milk is going bad. I don't know. I'm going to get out of the tanning bed. And then I'm thinking to myself, while I'm getting dressed, I'm thinking to myself, well, I'm paying X amount for the tanning bet. Yeah. But I probably should go to the gym every once in a while just to keep up this physique. Right, just to maintain.

Yeah, I mean, speaking to David Beckham, like, you know, I look like this naturally, but, you know, you got to put a little weight on it occasional. Yeah. So you don't get this dad bod sitting around and eating to read. Actually, you do. Yeah. You'll get this dad bod making a podcast. Actually, every podcaster has this dadbod. So I say, okay, all right, Astrid wins.

I'll go. I'll do the thing. I'll sign up for the shit. That's for you. So I go to- And the tanning bed was the carrot. Tanning bed was the carrot. Speaking of orange.

Karen on the cake. So I go up and I say, hey, Ellen's like, hey, how was the tanning bed? And I'm like, great. I probably read like a shrimp. You know, it's great. Wonderful. And she goes, great. Do you have time to talk about your fitness?

gold now and I said let me make this easy for you sign me up yeah sign me up and she's like great let's look at the package can you sit down with me for a minute let's look at the packages and I go Ellen whatever package and she's like the premium gold and I'm like sounds great does it come with the tanning bed is it $80 less a month than the actual tanning bed fantastic let's go Ellen get that side I'm going to be the easiest sale all day. That's what I say to her. I go, be the easiest sale. What's the different package types? Like how much access you have to the whole gym or something? Yeah, I don't know. It's all bullshit. It's like $9.99 a month. You can come on Tuesdays between one and three in the morning. Oh, okay. The times and the access. It's like the certain things you can do. You can get in the

classes. You can do the gym. You can go to the relaxing station. You know, you can only go to the relaxing station if you pay more than $30 a month. But still, $30 a month is not bad compared to what I was paying for just tanning bed access. And the truth is, yes, I go to the tanning bed. But I don't go every fucking day. I go once every 10 days. So it's like I'm only using it once or twice a month at most. So I just say,

Ellen, just sign me up. Shannon, Ellen, whatever. I'm reading the chat at the same time. So I say, hey, listen, just sign me up for whatever package you got that's got the included and the things and the stuff. And same. Just think the tanning. You do the same one as my wife does, right?

And then she's like, okay, this is just going to take a few minutes. Let me take a picture of you. And I'm like, great. Let's take the worst picture possible. Right. Yeah, and then they have like these TVs and it's like, new member, welcome new member Brian. And I'm like, ah. Fluorescent lights.

Yes. Welcome new member Brian. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome. Bad-ass boning up Brian for his 2026 goals of losing 300 pounds and getting rid of those man titties. Please look at the picture on the screens in front of your treadmill. You can see he needs it more than you do. Brian's signing up for the tanning men. And I'm like, holy fuck, you got to be fucking kidding me. And then, okay, okay.

And then she goes, I'm going to be back in a few minutes. Let me go put some information in the computer. Then I'm like, what information could you possibly be putting in the computer? And okay, she goes to the computer. And then she's like in the computer and she goes, hey, Brian, I want to introduce you to one of our team members. And I'm like, oh, fuck. Here comes the personal trainer. Oh, yes.

And here comes James. Of course. Yeah. This is the whole protocol. Chrissy, James has a voice like this. Hey, Brent. I's wondering what's your 226 goes on? And I'm like, do that voice come out of you?

Or we're playing jokes? You got jokes? It says jokes. Oh, God. This is jokes. Hey, Brent. Hey, I want to talk to you about your 2026 goals. What are you doing? Are you just here having fun? Or are you trying to lose some weight? What are you doing?

And I'm like, uh, yeah, I just want to get generally in shape. Do you have a program you're using or do you follow some methodology or something? I go, yeah. The 666. Yeah, I go the 666 method. Oh, yeah, that's popular among old people. I've heard of that. That's from the over 70 crowd.

You're going to do great. Have you ever thought about having a personal session? I saw one one time and it looked like the guy. I'm here for the vitamin D, but it looked like that guy was getting vitamin D. You know what I'm talking about? We really like to push it hard. That's the only way to get, meet your goals.

I'm like, okay. All right, James. Listen, I like what I'm doing right now. But if, you know, if I ever come back, if I ever come back, I'll look you up. Well, I tell you what, let's just throw you on the calendar. You don't have to go up, I just want to put it on your calendar. That's right. And I'm like, what?

And he goes, he's got to meet his goals. I know, he's got to meet his goals. And he's like, he's like, well, do you think you'd. be available next Tuesday around 230? I go, no. Actually, I don't know when I'm going to be back. I don't know if I'm ever coming

back now. Well, say you what, I'm just going to send you a calendar invite. Can you open it up and say accept? You don't have to show up. Don't worry about it. Everything's going to be fine.

And I'm like, yeah, I don't have that email connected to my phone. soon as I do, buddy, you're going to be the next one. We'll tell you why, you want to use our computer to log into Gmail? No. Why don't you give me the password? I'll log in. I'll accept.

And then it'll be good. He's literally chasing me out the door. And I'm like, got to go. The milk is bad. Don't worry about the milk. Worry about those mantis. That's what you've got to do, dude. That milk's going to make your ass.

Even flatter. You don't get a physique like this. Not agreeing to meet the personal trainer. All right, James. Well, listen, I guess I'll talk to you later, but I gotta go. Thanks for signing me up and scaring me at the same time. I really appreciate it. Thanks, everybody.

I'm going to feel... Welcome new member Brian. Yeah, welcome new member Brian. Oh, man, oh man. That is exactly. Exactly the way that things go down. That's the way that things go down. They always have, always will.

Yeah, it's time shares and gyms. They have the same kind of pressure tactics. They take your ID for a reason so that they can fucking corner you. You cannot leave the door without talking to a salesperson. They have figured this out. Because it's not like they think you're going to cause, you know, like steal a treadmill and run out the door. It's unbelievable. Oh.

Oh, Jenny says to call Frankie B. That's right. Oh, no, Sean says to call Frankie B. Frankie is one of the guys behind the counter. That's the problem is that Frankie would be all about it. He'd be agreeing with everything these people are saying. Got to get rid of those mantis, Brian. All right, okay. Yep, we're running way late. Okay, that's okay that we're having fun. Let's take a break and we will be back. Two and two. We think. It's on the calendar now. I've accepted. Yeah, I've accepted. It's Rachel, your new voice of God here on TCB.

Now, I'm going to go check the mailbox for payment while you check out our sponsors, and then we'll return to this episode of the commercial break. About the gym. Oh, I did. I got it right. I know it. Spot on. It's fucking obnoxious.

It really is. I mean, listen, this is why people don't like going to gyms, because they feel super pressure to do shit that, you know, maybe or maybe not they want to do. Like, I don't, you know, when Asteran and I first moved out here, we joined L.A. Fitness. Oh. L.A. Fitness was super difficult about this.

Like, they really wanted to rope us into every package that they had, and they were always pitching. But we ended up going with the person. trainer package because we felt like... I remember when you guys were doing that. Yeah. And listen, it was fine for a couple of weeks. And then it just got a little obnoxious.

And then when I started getting personal trainers that looked worse than I did, then I was like, I'm not sure this makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Like when they were, you know, I saw them eating Doritos while I was working out. Right. I'd do another squad. Okay. How about a Dorito?

How about Sharon? I'm sharing your Cineabund, bud. Okay? All right. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah, that's egg for. So obnoxious.

All right, I hate to talk about the weather again because the weather, you know, it's not, we're always talking about the weather. But we've got some impending. This could be it. This could be Iso-Megedin. This could be Issa-Megedin again because, you know, it's, we are in a situation here in Georgia as anybody who, Florida just got snow. I just saw pictures. of Florida, Destin, Florida, snow on the beach. That's a weird, that's weird to watch the waves

like lapping up against the snow. But it happens every once in a bloom. Even Orlando is prone to a snow here and there, like once, twice a decade, right? In Atlanta, we usually get snow once or twice a year. Yeah. But it almost, the conditions are almost never right for it to stick around.

Yeah. I would say once every five to seven years, we get an event that cripples the city. For days. And I have learned, in my infinite wisdom, be prepared. I was just telling this story to someone the other day as I was talking about maybe this impending weather event, which might happen this weekend. We might get ice. And ice is, and this is like meteorologically, I just starting to understand this.

But warm air comes from the Gulf of Mexico. Cold air comes from Canada. And so the warm air has lots of moisture. but down here, it's warm up here, 32 degrees plus, but it's cold down here, 32 degrees minus. So as it's falling through the air, it turns into ice on anything it hits, right? It's like a really cold rain that just turns into ice.

And those are dangerous because it adds so much weight to trees and power lines and roads are a fucking hot disaster. And there's no such thing as around the block in Atlanta, Georgia. You have to, like, go up, one hill, down and next, turn left, turn four right, six highways. to get anywhere. So I was talking to somebody about this the other day that during the last ice storm that we experienced, the last bad ice storm that we experienced, I was on a second date with somebody and they ended up staying at my house for four and a half days until I decided that it was fine

to drive. Like no one else in the city was driving, but I decided it was okay to drive. And I slipped and I sled all the way to that girl's house and all the way back. And I was, was happy to do it because I was just about over it at that point. But you got to be prepared. You do. Like you do have to be prepared because one mile this way or one mile that way and things could be drastically different. Yeah, we're going to load up tomorrow. We loaded up. We called Costco. I called Costco a couple of days. And it sounds a little dramatic. But in Atlanta, we just don't have the equipment to deal with this shit. And we don't have the streets to deal with it. Like when you have to go up and down hills around curves, just on every city, there is a left-hand.

turn and our fucking highway. A left-hand turn on our major highway. 75. You go down into the city, you take a left-hand turn. You think I'm joking. I'm not. It's called the Grady Curve. And it's responsible for more accidents than any other highway in America. I have to pass through it every time. It's a terrible, terrible thing. Because you can't go 70 miles per hour taking a left-hand turn. You just can't. You're going to slide into the next person. And I've been in an accident on the Grady Curve. You live here long enough you get in an accident on the Grady Curve. Yes, and that's correct. There is not a single snow tire in Georgia. We don't need them, 99.9% of the times. But when it happens, even the snow tires aren't going to save you. So all this to say, Chrissy and I would be taking off the next four weeks. If you don't hear

from us, it's our reason why. No, unfortunately, it's happening over the weekend. It could have happened during the week. I know. At least we have an excuse not to do something. It's got to happen over the weekend. Every fucking time it happens over the weekend or like, you know, at night and then it's gone in the morning. And you're like, fuck. But this could be it, Chrissy. This could be the death of us all. This could be the one. I know you were talking, at least you guys have a fireplace here. We don't have a fireplace. Get a fire pit. We do have a fire pit. Oh, you do? We do have a fire pit. Okay. Get a fire pit and, you know, some sleeping bags. But then don't have to go outside. No, bring this out. Turn your fan on.

It's be fine. I think it'll be fine. So I was looking because the other night, Jeff said, well, don't they have, you know, because I was like, well, all those old space heaters and stuff that you have to plug them in. He's like, Don't they have ones with batteries? No. And I try to look and they do not. No, it's too much energy. Those things suck up energy. If they had batteries, they would last for a half an hour and you'd be done. Yeah.

You know what you got to do? Get a small, I mean, they're probably gone at this point, but maybe you can find some on Amazon. Get a small $150 battery pack. The kind that can like actually you can plug in your refrigerator. Okay. They also have solar powered ones. They're much more expensive. But they have solar powered ones.

You can stick them in the sun for six hours. it saves the battery. And then for like six hours, you can, like I said, you can plug in your refrigerator. Okay. And you could plug in a small, small space heater on low for maybe an hour or two just to warm up the room. I mean, you're just going to have to get warm clothes and plenty of all that stuff. But the good news here, at least where I'm at, is that I am off a major road where major power lines run right in front of my house. Yeah.

So if there is a problem, I am usually pretty quick to get fixed because it supplies the right. of the town, you know, it's going into the town. So for me, I'm like a, my, my street is a priority. So I have never been without power for more than a couple of hours. I mean, but you never know. If there's ice all over the place, you know, all of us could be fucked, right? So I hope it doesn't happen, but, you know, we'll see. Also, also nothing could happen. Absolutely. That's happened. That's, that's why in Georgia, this is how it goes. Ready? on Glenn Burns from ABC WSB TV Emergency Alert. Next Thursday, 12 days from now, we have an idea that it might or might not snow.

And then all holy hell breaks loose and there are lines at the grocery store. Milk and bread. Milk and bread. Why? Milk and bread. I have no idea. Can you make a sandwich with milk and bread? What are you making?

French toast? I have no idea why people buy milk and bread. But you know what we bought yesterday? Milk and bread. Everybody goes fucking apes shit. Everybody gets all the stuff that they need. And then the wind farts to the left and nothing happens. It snows, but it doesn't stick.

It rains, but nothing happens. Nothing freezes. The kids get out of school for four days, but there's no reason. There's no reason. Bone dry, right? But it's, you know, it's going to be a cold rain later on this afternoon. And then we all get stuck in our houses for 12 days because it, fucking happening.

So everything, everything depends on the fart of the wind. That's just basically how it happens here in Georgia. That is. It's the truth. We'll see. Of all of the technological advancements that have been made in the last couple of decades, they still cannot predict the weather with any degree of accuracy in Atlanta, fucking Georgia.

Yeah. Why is that? There's a general probability. Yeah. You can predict. lottery numbers with chat GPT, but you can't fucking predict if it's going to rain or not. It's literally insane when you think about it. I do trust Glenn, though. I do trust Glenn. Glenn Burns is the man. If you're going to listen to one weather reporter in town, he is not

alarmist. He does not get too crazed. He has a steady hand. He's been steady for, what, 30 years around here? Yeah, he's getting old. He's like in his 90s. Maybe longer. He's like in his 70s. But Glenn Burns, like if there's a tornado event and there can be here in Atlanta, often tornado warnings and watches and all that stuff, like there is across a lot of the country, you want to tune into Glenn because Glenn keeps a steady hand on the wheel. He doesn't get too excited, right? He tells you what the, he tells, he gives you the straight smack, as is, also when these weather events happen with winter weather. He keeps a steady hand. And I think every town has that one guy that they trust. And all the other guys are just drama fucking

queens looking for clicks. They're young bucks, you know, who's the other guy? Leslie Chesney or whatever his name is. Chesney, yeah. Chesney, he's too excitable. And then there's the other guy. I don't even know who he is, but he's just a young buck. And he's like, got to snow. Everyone's going to die.

I got your shit right now. Okay. All right. Hurricane is coming. Hurricanes don't come. Stop it. You're being a drama queen. Settle down.

I mean, I guess Leslie Chesney is okay. He's pretty good. Chesney is the only, I can't remember. Kenny Chesney is our other weather reporter. He's, I'm going to sit around you. Yeah, he's predicting son and no shirt shoes or problems. Yeah, yeah. Leslie's like, hey, don't worry about it.

It's all going to be good. Get yourself a six-pack of Corona. That's right. Belly up to your fire pit in the middle of your living room. Burn the furniture. That's what I say, Chrissy. Set your bed sheets on fire. You'll be warm.

Everything will be fine. I worry about the trees. That's what I worry about. I don't like that. I can keep everybody on this side. of the house. But that's where the fireplace is, too. So I keep everybody where the fireplace is. But of course, I haven't used that fireplace in three years. Oh, God, be sure it's cleaned out. It's not. But, you know, it'll either get cleaned out when I said things on fire or it won't. I mean,

I don't know what I'm going to do. What is it? What am I going to do? You know, I can't call the guy now. Everyone's getting there. That's the other problem, too, is you need something done. Thank God, I got my water heat. Did I tell you about my water heater? No. I didn't even tell you about my water heater. What a disaster that water heater situation ended up being. I had to go two showers in a row with lukewarm water. Oh, no. It was a disaster. Not disaster. Two in a row. Two in a row. Two lukewarm showers in a row. Couldn't turn it on hot. Wasn't so cold. It's just body temperature. Those can make you more cold. They do. Yeah. Especially when it's cold outside. Because the cold air is just waiting to creep in. an open shower door. I like to cocoon myself, encase myself, and hot steam that's going to cause mold in my house

at one point. Hot steam. And then I take, I put the towel over the shower glass so I can pull it down so I don't have to open the door. Because the second I open the door, my little feats is get cold. That's right. That's right. I would like to encase myself in steam. Yeah.

And I noticed one night, I was like, wow, this is, the water's not very hot. It's not fogging up the ground. glass like it usually does. And that led to a whole series of trips to Home Depot. And thank God that Daniel was here, my father. Oh, yes. Because I would have just thrown my hands up in the air and borrowed $10,000 to buy a new water heater. But Daniel was like, I'll see. I'm not a water guy. He's an electrician, but electrical engineer. I'm not a water guy. I don't know about plumbing, but I know enough to be dangerous. And the breaker was flipping. Like every time we have an electric water heater. It's 80 gallons, so we will never run out of hot water. If we lose electricity in our house, because of an ice storm, we'll have

hot water for three days. Good. Okay, good. So I got that cover. So the breaker keeps on flipping. I notice. Like a lukewarm water, I go out, I look, the breaker keeps on flipping. Next morning, I hear Astrid scream. She's in the shower and freezing cold water, freezing cold water. We also have one of our daughters' birthdays that night. So Daniel and I go back there. We take off all the things. The bottom, you take, there's two panels on the water heater. Upper element, bottom element, the heating elements.

He takes off both panels. And there's a little fuse box there with a like a thermometer thing. You can turn up and down to heat. And the bottom one is fried. It looks like there had been a fire in there. Like it was not good situation. And Daniel's like, I don't know about this. We took out the element.

The element was, was. U-shaped, it had like exploded, basically. And it had gotten so hot it just melted sideways. From your hot showers. From my hot showers, that's right. But then I learned that we had had the temperature on like between 95 and 105. And apparently you have to keep your water heater at 130 or above to kill off all the bullshit. So it could have been that just sediment was building up on the heating element allowing it to get hotter and hotter and hotter.

I'm learning while you're telling you're telling us. I'm learning from him. I don't know the shit. I honestly would have called the plumber. A thousand dollars later, I would have had to get a new water heater. Because when we got into the water, when we were trying to take the heating element out, it took hours. I had to take seven trips to fucking Home Depot. I had to go talk to that plumbing guy, the plumbing guy at the Home Depot, who's, you know, the old cogity plumber who now just works weekends at the Home Depot who looks at you and knows that you're a fucking moron.

Yes. Like, oh, what is the heating element now? I was like, and he's like, well, what do you got your, what do you got your A circuit on? And I'm like, uh, does four sound like a right eye answer?

Far. Celsius? I go, uh, yes, Celsius. Four. What's your B circuit on?

Six. Fahrenheit? Yes. Wait, you got one on Celsius? One on Fahrenheit? And I go, yes. My wife's Spanish, part Spanish.

We like to keep it on Celsius. One for her, one for me. One for her, one for me. Just in case, you know, I got one element for it. What? And he's like, well, what's the wattage on the circuit? And I'm like, what is the normal wattage on the circuit? He's like, 4,500.

And I go, yep, 4,500. And he looks at me like, he's like, he's like, And how many gallons? And I go 80. You're running 4,500 to your 80? And I go, uh, yeah, I think. You're running way too few watts and way too many gallons. What are you doing?

You got your egg on your bean. And I'm like, I'm just looking for this rubber tube. Yeah, can you help me with this piece? Yeah, can you help me with this rubber tube? I need this piece. You don't need that. Where did that come from? And I'm like, I'm here on assignment.

I don't know. Meanwhile, all the professional plumbers in the aisle who are like buying shit, they're all like... Shaking their head. One guy came and gave me his card. He did. He walked over. He's like, if you need help with that, let me know. And I'm like, I got a guy.

I got a guy. And he's like, is that guy a plumber? And I go, that's question. Electrical engineer. And he's like, well, if you need my help, let me know. And I'm like, okay. He goes, he said to me, Nice sales opportunity.

Yeah, he goes, he goes, some things you don't want a tool with. I'm like, yeah, any tool I don't want a tool with. That's my gig. If I got a tool with something, I'm way in over my head. You did fix the disposal. I did fix the disposal. That was my brother who came and replaced that, actually. Let's call it.

Okay. Well, I was trying to give you some bread. Well, thank you. you. I really appreciate that. But the truth is I didn't fix that either. Okay. All right. There was. All right. Never a dull moment. Yeah. Jenny says they had their water heater out for

three and a half days in cold Colorado. No thanks. Uh-uh. I go to a hotel. That's where I go. I was being such a baby. She's like, I'll make you a bucket of hot water and you can, you know, do like a French horror shower. She's like, you can wash your parks. I was being such a baby, and I'm like, no, I'll just wait for the hot water. Because we fixed it like 30 minutes before we were supposed to leave.

And it wasn't like I could miss my own daughter's birthday party because I didn't have hot water. But 30 minutes was not long enough to warm up 80 gallons of water. So the water was, I would say that it was less than lukewarm. It was a very cold shower. It felt very cold. It makes me cold. It's cold in here. Yeah.

It's cold in here. What's going on? But by the next morning, all was well. Okay. Hot water's fixed. So pray for us here in Georgia. Pray for us. We'll keep you posted.

If we're here next Tuesday. Yeah. If we make it to work next Tuesday. Everything then okay. Well, I'll make it to work. If Chrissy makes it to work next Tuesday. I'm not doing it on my own. I'll come on here and I'll talk to everybody.
