Episode Date: June 18, 2025

EP #779: Bryan finds "Alabama Fraternity Consulting" on Insta and is instantly drawn into this mystical creature's world. How does this work? Who uses his services? Who is he?

Call Her Daddy has an interesting question about "the body count". Finally, Bryan tells Krissy how his Disney vacation is all planned out. Every. Single. Minute.

So pledge. So yeah, you pledge. You get in, you don't. I imagine you apply for a lot of them, probably. Yeah, I would think. Three or four, five, six, all of them. Me, I would probably do all of them because there'd be zero chance I'd get into any of them. Whoever takes me. Yeah, whoever takes me.

I'd be a gamma, gamma, phi. There's a guy from the nerds, Delta, gamma, gamma, or whatever, Delta, gamma, phi. That'd be me. I'd be the, he's like that guy from old school. He started his own fraternity in his bedroom and now he can just hang, now he's the coolest guy on campus.

The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh yeah cats and kittens welcome back to the commercial break I'm Brian Green this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show Chris and Joy Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. I am watching an Instagram account that I've been watching for a while because my Instagram is fucked up. Yes, it is. It's all over the place. I love it. I love it.

We got like a lot of new followers on Instagram, a lot of interactions going on on our Instagram because we started rolling out clips from the TCB's Endless Day, the big birthday bash. And a lot of people interacting and reacting to Tig Notaro and Ricky Lindholm, who was not part of the Endless Day, was supposed to be part of the Endless Day, Mike Lee and Black, stuff like that. So I've been spending a lot of time on Instagram, just like kind of bouncing around and interacting. There's a guy that's been on my Instagram, my personal Instagram. I've been spending a lot of time on Instagram, just like kind of, you know, bouncing around and interacting.

There's a guy that's been on my Instagram, my personal Instagram. I followed him for a couple of years and I forget the name of the business. It's not the name of a person. It's like Alabama Fraternity Consulting LLC. And he's 50, 55 years old and all of his Instagram is filled with him at fraternity and sorority parties, bars in Alabama. That's it. He's consulting.

He's consulting. He's in the middle of the fray. 18 to 22 year old women, 18 to 22 year old guys. He's drinking, he's funneling, he's fuzzing, he's fucked up, and he's pitching you his business. And that business is, don't go it alone, I can help you get into the fraternities. I can tell you what to do, what not to do, what to wear on the first day of Rush, what to wear on the first day of whatever they call the male version of that.

What is it called? Is it called Rush for males? Uh... Is it bid What is it called? Is it called Rush for males? Uh... It's a bid? It's bidding? It's bid day or something? Something like that, yeah. This guy's entire life is reliving his entire life.

His glory days? His glory days as an 18 to 22 year old. That's all he does. I don't know how I feel about it. I kind of feel like, dude, really? It's a little weird to be this old and have an Instagram filled with you at parties with kids that are inappropriately young

for you to be hanging out with. I think I would feel weird if I was the kid at the party. They love him. Okay, he's like a thing. They fucking love him. He's a legend. He doesn't look like a legend. I'm not knocking the way the guy looks.

I'm not saying I look any better, but I'm saying... He doesn't look like he would have made it in the first place. Do you know what I'm saying? This is what I'm saying. He doesn't look like a typical fraternity kind of guy, but he just, weekend after weekend, day after day, week after week. It's him either talking in his phone, I imagine he's got like a Toyota Corolla, in his Toyota Corolla driving down the street. I got a phone call, 13 out of 20, bid on the first go, who you gonna call?

Alabama Fertility Consulting. And I'm like, wow, that's a weird pitch for your business. Is this for like the University of Alabama? It is for the University of Alabama. He is, I mean. They've got that Greek life down there, huh? It's wild, it's wild. Cause they're the ones that had the show on, right? Yeah, Bama Rush.

Bama Rush was one of my favorite television shows because it showed just how ridiculous Rush was one of my favorite television shows because it showed just how ridiculous the business of finding friends is. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I think had I been a different human in a different body with a different mindset, had I at all been cool enough to be in a fraternity and additionally gone to a campus where they had a fraternity, I probably, I might have been differently, I might have thought differently. I'm not saying it's good or bad. Yeah, I probably would have done it if I had gone to a school where I didn't know

anybody, but I happened to go to a school where I knew a bunch of people. Knoxville. Alabama fraternity consulting. You see this guy? All right, look. consulting. You see this guy? All right, look. He's at the bar. You didn't know where to go. You didn't know what to do. You should have called me, but so it's just endless, uh, endless feeds of him in his car pitching, but then, but then he, he's at the parties. He's on the stage with all the hot girls and guys.

Hey, he looks like he's having fun. Although that is what Instagram is, is portraying yourself. Yeah. I mean, if you're the fraternity consulting guy, you're not going to have a boring Instagram. No, he's hit on him. He's got a niche.

Now listen, there are a lot, we saw in Bama Rush, the show, we saw that there are lots of women that do this for women, right? There's lots of women that help them prep on how to get into the right sorority, what to say, what to do. And are they at the parties?

No. No, but I mean, this guy lives on campus. You know he does. He probably lives in some apartment, some old rusty crusty apartment he's had since 1972. Yeah. And he's just, he never, he couldn't shake the life. I have a friend who lived, who went and moved to Athens.

Never went to UJ, came from Texas. This is my good friend, my wild friend that we did all this wild shit with as a teenager, including buying pounds of cocaine and catching, you know, playing cops and robbers out the side of my house. He moved to Athens when he was 22, 23, 24 years old. He just went up there because he wanted, he liked the campus life. When he was in Texas, he didn't get a taste of the campus life, but he liked to be on the University of Texas campus.

So he fell in love with UGA and all it had to offer and the music scene and the whole nine yards. It's beautiful. It's gorgeous. So he became what they call here a townie. That's what they call him. If you live in Athens, pass your expiration date, you're a townie.

But guess who else is a townie? Half of widespread panic, Michael Stipe from REM, the guy from Cracker. I mean, these people, they live up there because they love the town of Athens. And it is just one big fraternity and sorority party going on 24 hours a day. He loved it so much that he opened a bar in the middle of downtown and then opened additional bars as it went along. So he kind of became like a little townie entrepreneur, my friend did.

I would have voted him least likely to do anything in life and he managed, now has one of the most successful, best reviewed bars in all of Athens. You'll have to tell me what bar that is. I'll tell you, it's called The World Famous. Okay. It's called The World Famous. It's a great name for a bar too. The World Famous, going to The World Famous's called The World Famous. It's called The World Famous. It's a great name for a bar too.

Going to The World Famous. Right across the street from 40 Watt. So he gets a lot of that crowd, comes in there. He's got a little music room. He puts on shows. He had, what's that band? Milk, something about milk, mother's milk, not Mother's Milk, but I can't remember the name of the band.

They were famous for a minute in the 2000s and something, they had Milk in there. Yeah, but I went up there one night and the place that you couldn't have fit another human being in there. It was packed. It was packed because the singer from this band, they had reunited for a couple of nights. They played the 40 Watt and then the singer did like a special thing there. It was packed and everyone seemed very excited that this guy from this milk band was there and I didn't know what the fuck anybody was talking about. Anyway, listen, what a life to live.

What, if you're going to live one life, let it be the one where you're acting like an 18 year old for the rest of your life. I guess. So I'm not sure. I'm not sure I approve. Like if that's my son or daughter and they're hanging out with Alabama fraternity consulting dude, I'm not sure I'm putting my stamp of approval on it.

But if I take myself out of, you know, if I take myself- The parent equation. The parent equation or the just generally being a decent human being equation for a minute,'m saying why not live your best life, dude Yeah, as long as you're not being inappropriate with any of these. Yeah Essentially the creepy. Yeah, don't be the creepy old dude. Just don't do that You're already kind of the creepy old dude just by choice of your profession Just don't take it to the next level

Like you shouldn't be hidden on the girls. But the kids seem to love him. He takes pictures of them all the time. They're always like calling him a legend. But when you're 18. Maybe he's like the novelty legend. I think so. Yeah, yeah, I think so. It's like that guy Paul that I used to hang out with. He was my painter boss during the Olympics.

And he would say things like, you're at that age where you're scared of pussy. And we would all laugh at him. And now many years later, I'm like, he was absolutely right about that. Still am, still am, still don't know what they do. What ever happened to Paul? I don't know, he can't be alive.

He cannot be alive, that's true. But he was just this tiny little painting company, come paint your house, hang on ladders, not afraid of nothing, kind of a dweeby little guy. But we always used to think of Paul as like a legend. He was like, you know, he's a legend. Well, he wasn't really a legend. He was just a guy who said weird stuff that would drive us from party to party. So, you know, I think that's kind of where the Alabama fraternity guy consulting, he's got that energy. Like he's harmless. So that makes me believe that there's a good chance he might be harmless because if he was like actually

creepy Alabama fraternity dude, I don't think all these kids would be so enamored with him. You look in his comment section, there's like, you know, you're such a, you're the dude, you got me in, my brother's brother loves you, blah, blah, blah, come visit, you know, whichever college. I wonder how he like gets them in. I mean, is it again, like with the women words, the way you dress and the things you do and say, or is he like, he's got connections? I think it's both probably.

Yeah, I think you're not gonna get in just because you know Alabama fraternity consulting guy. I don't even know his name, but you're not gonna get in just because you know him, but there- It helps. It helps. Like, if you're on a track to get into a fraternity and it's gonna go one guy or the other guy and you use this dude, you know, who knows?

There could be bribes or kickbacks. This could go deep. This could be a conspiracy level shit. It could be. Yes. And I wouldn't... Let's go with that. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

No. Wouldn't surprise me if this guy gets paid $10,000 to help a guy get into a fraternity. And three of that goes to the fucking keg fund for the party. Right? And okay. Cool. However you got to do it. Yeah. It's not like, you know, I mean, we all treat it like, I don't know. It's the FIFA World Cup or it's a fraternity. Honestly, who cares? Okay, somebody got in, somebody didn't.

That's life. Learn that lesson early. Sometimes you get in, sometimes you don't. You know what I just thought has been driving me crazy? It's you pledge. You pledge. Yes, the mail is pledge. Pledge and rush.

Got it. Okay, so pledge. So yeah, you pledge. You get in, you don't. I imagine you apply for a lot of them, probably. Yeah, I would think. Four, three, or four, five, six, all of them. Me, I would probably do all of them

because there'd be zero chance I'd get into any of them. Whoever takes me. Yeah, whoever takes me. I'd be at Gamma Gamma Phi. Was the guy from the nerds, Delta Gamma Gamma, or whatever, Delta Gamma Phi? That'd be me. I mean, he's like that guy from old school.

He started his own fraternity in his bedroom. And now he can just hang, now he's the coolest guy on campus. I bet he gets free drinks everywhere and all kinds of stuff. Anyway, saw him on a, I was watching a real one before we came on, he was on a podcast. Like a podcast, there's a guy who does a podcast all about Alabama, from Alabama, like, and he must be a student at, from Alabama, like, and he's must

be a student at Alabama. He looks that young and he's on the podcast and the guy's treating him like, you know, Superman came on the podcast. I'm like, maybe we should get him on. He's a legend. Yeah, maybe we should get him on. I'd like to ask him so, so, so, so many questions, for sure. Speaking of like- I think you should reach out. College towns, we did this episode where we talked about Bentonville. And we were very excited about the prospect that Walmart had this big associates party

where all these huge A-list singers and actors and whatever else show up and put on this big to-do for the Walmart associates, the Everyman, the Joe Schmoes and the Betty Boops that work in the stores helping us out. Check out or stock the shelves associates, the Everyman, the Joe Schmoes and the Betty Boops that work in the stores, helping us out, check out or stock the shelves or drive the trucks or whatever it is, and not the highfalutin billionaires that are running the company. And we got very excited and we thought this must be a fucking party. Well, I mean, according to Reddit, you haven't lived until you've been to this party. Three or four different people said the same version

of the same sentence, which was, you haven't lived until you spent a week in Bentonville, right? And so we said, hey, if anybody's ever been to Bentonville or knows about this, you gotta write in. And somebody did, a guy named Craig wrote in and like loosely knows the commercial break. I'll just put it that way. I don't know if Craig Johnson has given up the goose here, but Craig says Bentonville essentially is a college town.

There, I think the, maybe the university of Arkansas is near there. I don't know. Okay. That makes sense. It's essentially is. And lots of people come in town for the Walmart associates week. It's essentially like a big festival, a very well-run conference, where in fact the public can stay and play.

I mean, I don't think everything, I don't think you're gonna go to the concert. No, or you're not gonna go to the- With Benson Boone or whatever. You're not gonna go to the breakout session. No, yeah, yeah, you aren't going. Yeah, no. You're not gonna be in the projections meeting.

Yes. But cool that you can just kind of show up and do a little dance. Party around the festivities. Show up at the bar, show up at the restaurants. We could do the podcast from out there. I mean, I would think that they're going to have the Walmart studios. Yeah, they're going to have the whatever studio, Walmart podcast studios that they've started to roll out only in one place in Tennessee so far, but I'm sure it'll get there.

But I really did think to myself, I mean, listen, I, you know, we had this conversation. I'm not cucking for Walmart. They're not a sponsor. They're, they're, no one's giving us money to say this, but we just want to go for the party. Yeah. Working people are our people. Trust me.

That is, that is the vibe of the commercial break. We're not a crypto bro show. You know what I'm saying? We don't have people in Miami who live in multi-million dollar condos are not listening to the commercial break. They're listening to a different kind of show. You know which show, I don't need to say it out loud. But we're the working man and woman show, and Bentonville probably represents

one of the largest employers out there. I would love to go to Bentonville during that week. I'm telling you, we need to put it on the calendar. Yeah, and I don't wanna go. It'll be our spring break. Yeah, exactly. I wanna go to Bentonville for a spring break. I don't wanna go for the breakout sessions,

for the projections meetings. I wanna go for the bars at night. This seems like actually the best kind of conference we could have ever gone to. I mean, you know, you've been to plenty, I've been to plenty, and the sucky thing about them is having to think about work. That's right. At those freaking breakout sessions. Now it's just all party all the time.

That's right. We can nurse our hangovers in the day, party at night with the rest of the people. I love this idea. The worst part about a conference, and anyone who's ever been to a conference will know this is the shitty fucking motherfucking schedule that the dumb ass organizers put together to curb your drinking. If you don't think for one second that the organizers of every business conference ever, no matter which industry you work in, say to themselves,

we have to have the first breakout session at 7.15 in the morning and free breakfast from 5.30 a.m. to 7 a.m. is so that you don't stay out till 2.30 in the morning drinking. You're fooling yourself because that's exactly what they're doing. And let me tell you- And that's exactly what you're doing. And that's exactly what you need to do. It does. Right. It does. Well, I'm going to say that's exactly what I'm doing. And let me tell you- And that's exactly what you're doing. And that's exactly what you need to do. It does it. Well, I'm gonna say that's exactly what I'm doing. No matter what time in the morning,

you're still gonna party. Yes! And then you're just gonna be so- How many conferences have we rolled through to the morning? Yeah. I say to myself, from 11 to 3 p.m., my boss is gonna be in highfalutin corporate executive meetings, and that is when I will be in the hotel room sleeping with my phone right next to me so I can text back and say, oh yeah, I'm in a networking event. I had a special meeting with this new client we're trying to... I have a million of them. Yes.

I went to so many podcast conferences that I could look at the name of the breakout session and I could certainly pretend as if I was there and probably get 90% of the conversation correct because I just knew it and we've all been there in whatever industry you work in. Team building. Yeah, launch a podcast. Why are you at launch a podcast? I, listen, I'm just trying to keep my finger on the pulse. I don't know, who cares? I wasn't, I was upstairs sleeping off my hangover. That's what I was doing.

I was buying weed down the street. You did in Vegas. I did. I went to the first weed store I've ever been to. Listen, that's the way it is. I look forward to the day when we can all just be adults and go to a conference where the first breakout session starts at 1130 in the morning.

Exactly. Because then that's what we all look forward to. We're all drinking on the company dime. We know it. Why fool ourselves? Let's just get started at 1130. That way everyone's bright-eyed and bushy. I would say 10, maybe 10, And then, you know, you just,

you do a little work for an hour, break for lunch for like three hours, come back, have another breakout, and then you're done. Perfect. Chrissy got it lit. 10 to 10.15, good morning breakout session. 10.15 to 3.15 nap time. And lunch.

3.15 to 4.00 PM. Just show us all the slides you have to show us right now. And then that's right, free dinner from five to seven, bus to the local bar and then after party and then rinse and repeat. And then also let's do conferences, not, you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

So you got to get in there on Sunday night. Let's do it Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. That's right. Those three days. That way you can take off work Monday and Friday to pack and recover. And then you have the whole weekend. Essentially you get a week off.

We figured it out. We figured it out for you. When the commercial break conference happens, or we have our first cruise, or breakathon, or whatever's going on, don't you worry. There will be no official events that happen before 3 p.m. in the afternoon, nor will there be any that happen after 3.30 p.m. So you guys are good. Meet and greet from 3 to 3.30. If we say hello, great. If we don't, don't worry about it. Attendee capacity, five people.

You have to pay for everything. The commercial break conference. Can't wait. All right, let's take a break. We'll be back. You make this rather snappy, won't you? I have some very heavy picking to do before 10 o'clock. Hi, cats and kittens.

Yeah, we were just talking about Rachel, the beautiful woman who does our voiceover work for us, who's like the, we call the voice of God on the commercial break. So she does all the liners and stuff like that. And she had to put one of her cats down, Xena, over the weekend. Yeah.

So sad. Yeah, that is heart wrenching and heartbreaking, and anyone who's ever been through it will know. And we were sharing something I've been saying for a long time, is that's the deal that you make. It's like the unspoken agreement between you and a pet of any nature of any kind. Unless you're keeping an elephant as a pet or a turtle as a pet or a maybe a parrot as a pet. The deal is I'll feed you, I'll house you, I'll keep you warm and safe from the big bad world and I'll take you to the doctor when you need when you get sick and I know it and I'm able to do that. And then you just give me love. That's it, that's all I'm asking for, a little love. But then the second part of that agreement is,

it's highly likely that you will not outlive me. I will have to be there at the end. And- That's tough. It is the toughest thing in the world. I mean, it's not the toughest thing in the world, but it is very, it's close to the toughest thing in the world.

And a lot of us treat our animals like children. Absolutely. Now they become a part of the family for sure. Of course they do. They're a part of the family. They're a part of your events and your activities. They're in your pictures and your photos. And like dogs, you know, cats can be a little bit different depending on which cat you have.

But I was telling Rachel when I was texting with her, my condolences that Rachel and I have lived less than a quarter of a block away from each other in three different places. How that happened, I don't even know, but it just kind of randomly happened. But we lived down the street when we first started to know each other

and she went out of town on a couple of vacations and she asked me if I could take care of her cats while she was gone. Well, I am deathly allergic to cats. Cats are not my thing, but I love these cats. They were really fucking cool. Oh, and she got them when they were little kittens. They were so cute.

Yeah, but they were more like monkeys. They'd like swing off the chandelier. Oh, that's a kitten. Yeah, that's a kitten. It really is. Yeah, it was up in the rafters. It was like in the air conditioning vents. It was like the cats were all over the place

and they were the cutest things. And I took care of those cats on a number of occasions. I was so concerned about those cats that one time she left for like a day. I needed to go take them out one time. And when I got there, the doors were locked and she forgot to put the key outside. And I was freaking out about these cats that were not mine, but I love these cats and I didn't want them. To starve.

I just, I'd never forget that they were like sitting in the kitchen window. She had like the screened in patio and I could get into the screened in patio and she was sitting and they were sitting in the kitchen window, like pawing at the window. And I was like, oh my God, I got to get in here. I had to call a locksmith to get in the door. It's a weird conversation to have with a locksmith. Luckily, he wasn't too plussed about it. He was like, whatever, I'll just open the door. He's like, do you have paperwork?

And I'm like, bro, I don't have no paperwork for these cats. Anyway, Xena, to you farewell, my child. She's in the spirit world. She's in the spirit world. With my cat. It was your cat. With your cat. With a lot of our animals, with Nico. With all the others that we've, you know, with Nico, with Nacho, with Jordan, with all

the other animals that we've, to all the dogs we've loved before. To all the dogs and cats we've loved before. That's right. And cheer, here, here, and cheers to your many happy passings, many happy blessings. Nico, I can still smell you and I love you very much. Nicole doesn't smell anymore. No, unbelievably the dead dog smell went away when the dog actually died. No pun intended.

Back on the Instagram track, I recently followed Alex Cooper and Call Her Dad, the commercial break did, and flipped a post that I thought was very interesting and worthy of conversation. She took a letter from a listener that basically said, it was a woman, and the woman was saying, my boyfriend is really upset about my body count, right? And he can't get over it. How many people you slept with? How many people you slept with. And I wrote a comment that got a lot of response where I basically said,

it's probably the most childish thing that you can be concerned about, sweat over, be jealous of is someone else's sexual history. Past. It's redonkulous. It really is. A three-year-old would worry about this. A 15-year-old would worry about this.

Not a man, not a real man. Sounds like a boy. Yeah, that's major insecurity. Huge insecurity. And what does it fucking matter? Relationships are built on the new memories, as I put in the comment, the new memories that you forge moving forward, not the conversations about who you slept with before.

And Alex made the point that I've slept with people and I can remember every single one of them. I can mostly remember every single one of them that I've slept with. And that's true. And I know Astrid can too. I'm not asking her to recall that while we're having sex, nor do I care. I understand that my wife had a sexual history before I showed up, and that doesn't bother me one bit, because that's just a reference point in her life, a space and time.

It's a pin in space and time. And it's really silly to even, I mean, to ask the question, okay, if you really wanna know the answer, sure, I'll give it to you if I even know it. But even keeping track of your body count, it's kinda silly to me. After four or five, it's like, who fucking cares anymore? Like, what's the difference? We all have a history.

It doesn't really matter, because that's not why you're in the relationship to talk about someone else's sexual escapades previous to you showing up at the front door. And depending on what age you are, I think it's a good thing. I agree. I mean, you want to have somebody that has some kind of experience before you and maybe knows what they want a little bit more, has been had what they didn't like, had what they liked,

they're able to tell you that then. And also the person's not pining away like, oh, what did I miss out on? Yeah, correct. That's a good way of thinking about it. Like let someone show up with a few miles on the car because you just. Depending on what age you are.

Depending on what age you are. Okay, let's be clear about that, Depending on what age you are. Depending on what age you are. Okay, let's be clear about that, depending on what age you are. But someone shows up to your door. There's a new show on TLC, because of course leave it up to fucking TLC. There's a new show on TLC that I have not watched, but I've seen clips of called The Virgins.

And it's all these guys and girls who are well into their 30s or 40s, who are virgins. And the one clip I saw was a notable and consistent reaction on first dates as soon as the person mentions they are a virgin. You know what that reaction is? See you later. Out of here.

Because, and part of me thinks, oh, that's harsh. Like, that's a little harsh, right? Now, okay. But I can kind of understand, like, I don't want to be your first at this age. I just don't want to be because you never forget your first. And I was 15 when I had my first. I never forgot my first. Imagine I'm 50 and I'm looking for my first.

Like there's a certain level of attachment that's going to come there. And second of all, maybe it is, again, doesn't matter the body count, but maybe it is okay if someone shows up and they've kind of shaken some stuff out of their system. They know what they want. They know what they don't. I mean, to just be, to sweat it is so bumbling, stupid. It's not even funny. It shows how immature you re how emotionally immature you really are.

Well, insecure. Insecure. Go to a Tantra conference. You go to a Tantra conference and the body count is like 70 million. They're going to be four people in the room. Okay, I'm telling you. It's going to be 80 million by the time you leave. You just don't ask. If you don't want the answer, don't ask. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I have dated some people, I am 90%, 99% sure. The body count far surpassed my body count, but it's not a game and it's not a race.

And I don't care. It doesn't matter. If you're gonna have a conversation about sexual history for safety purposes, to make sure you're going to have a conversation about sexual history for safety purposes, to make sure you're having safe sex, to make sure you're into the same things, to make sure that their sexual past aligns with whatever values you have or morals you want in your life. Cool. But don't get upset about it. Don't be a douche. Don't be a douche. This is a good lesson for the kids out there.

Right? When you get into your 20s, like your mid-20s, start, know... I've said this a lot on this show, and I think this is the secret to a good relationship, and I'm about to let you in on it. Know which hills to die on. Yeah. That's it. I have figured it out, kids. Know which hills to die on. Yeah. That's it. I have figured it out, kids.

Know which hills to die on. There is a lot of stuff, and I mean a lot of stuff, that my wife does that is bothersome to me, that I don't care for, that I wish she wouldn't do, say, whatever. I don't care. I put it out of my head as soon as it comes into my head, because that's not a hill worth dying on.

It's not. I'm not going to tell her that brushing her teeth in that manner makes me upset. It doesn't fucking matter. She's a human being. She can brush her teeth however she wants to. Right? Sleeping with the mailman while we're married? That's a hill you might want to consider dying on.

Yes. But how she cooks chicken nuggets? I don't give a fuck if you cook them in the air fryer or the microwave. It doesn't matter to me. I think when I was young, I didn't know which hill to die on. That's so true.

So every hill I died on. And that became death by a thousand paper cuts, right? So know which hills to die on, and this is not the one because you can't change it. No. No one's gonna unfuck people. You know what I'm saying? So if you really like somebody, just deal with the body count. It's okay. And if you don't want to know if it's gonna make you upset, if you're gonna get jealous,

if you're that kind of twinkle toes, if you're really that sensitive about how many people someone has slept with, don't ask the question. Just don't. Live with it. Pretend if you're really that sensitive about how many people you, someone has slept with, don't ask the question. Just don't. Live with it. Pretend that you know it. Pretend that it's one and you are the one. Just do that. How's that?

Yeah. I mean, honestly, when I, when I saw the post, it, it kind of like got under my skin a little bit. I was like, wow, we're still, we're still worried about that stuff. Oh, there's still very many insecure people out there. I know it. I know it. I know it. I feel bad for them.

Yeah, it seems like, it seems like we are all so concerned about every little thing. It's like zero to a hundred in a second, right? Everything is a reason for everybody to be upset. I mean, maybe I consume too much social media, and I probably consume too much social media. But you just watch these reel after reel

or clip after clip of people going from zero to a hundred over the stupidest stuff. It's like, he disrespected me. Disrespected you? Is that a thing? Is it a thing? Just don't worry. Just go somewhere else.

Just do something else. Go do something else, you know? It's my parking spot. You're entitled to the parking spot because you showed up first. Is that the law of the land? People are definitely on edge. And I have to say, I mean,

we're kind of in that political environment, I think, which bleeds into other areas of your life. I do think you're right about this. I think that the politics has either one or the other, I can't, the chicken or the egg, I'm not, can't figure out what, but by osmosis, the tribalism and the entitlement and all that stuff has just soaked directly into our bones.

And I can say sometimes I'm guilty of the same thing. I'm not immune to all of the tribalism either, right? But it's like we get so upset so quickly over the dumbest fucking shit. And maybe it would be good for all of us to learn the lesson not only about relationships, but about life, know which hills to die on. That's it.

Just let some stuff go. It's okay. Good theory. I said to my friend, I said, I wish we could go back to a time, because I remember it when I was a kid. You would not ask my father who he voted for, because he would not tell you. And I was his child, because he would not tell you. And I was his child and he would not tell me. Now I know who he voted for,

but now that I'm adult, I know who he voted for, but I still wouldn't ask him to this day. Because politics was not something that was talked about. It was considered gauche. You just didn't do that. You didn't talk about politics and mixed company. It just wasn't something that you did. Religion and politics, right?

Stay away from this thing. Those two are not dinnertime conversation and they never were. It just wasn't something that you did. Religion and politics. That's it. Religion and- Stay away from this thing. Those two are not dinnertime conversation, and they never were. And even though we went to church, we didn't talk about religion. Even though we watched, you know, the nightly news, you didn't talk about politics. It's not what you did. And so, I wish we could go back to a time.

And I know, listen, I know that in 2025, some political decisions and religious decisions, they like actually affect our lives. And so we get very upset by that. I'm not saying ignore it either, but I just wish there was a little bit more like sanity in the way that we handle this. And, you know, I understand that political violence also has been like a, it's been a staple of American history. This is not new political violence, you know, over the weekend, some terrible murders happen, you know, we're all quick to run and figure out who did it and how they felt about the world around them so that we could either score one for us or score one for them. But we have to remember that there were like mothers and fathers and human beings that

lives were affected. It doesn't really matter who scores what. The reality is that we're all just like way too hot about this. And I think it goes back to something honestly as simple as getting really upset about how many people somebody slept with. That's a dumb thing to get upset about. All of it is. All of it is.

So anyway, I'm on my soapbox and I should get off of it. I got a throaty thing happening. Am I getting sick the week before I decide I'm going to go on vacation? That's always what happens. As soon as I decide I'm going on vacation, I get sick. That's it. Cancel the vacation. No Disney, kids. Oh my God. That's it. Cancel the vacation! No Disney kids. Oh my god.

That would not work. We had to start planning our Disney vacation. Like you have to like figure out every minute of every day and put it into an application. I heard this. It's priced a spreadsheet or something. Yes, or you're never going to go on any rides. A spreadsheet? It's like a billion dollar Oracle application. Really? Oh my god. Listen, I'll go on this rant. Let's take a break and then I'll go on this rant. I'll share it with you. We'll turn it to something a little more lighthearted.

But anyway, honestly, just one last note, my heart's go out to the folks in Minnesota because what a terrible tragedy. I don't care who the dipshit voted for. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Um, the people, and I would say this no matter what political affiliation the victims had, it's a fucking terrible, terrible thing. All right, we'll be back. We'll talk about something, um, not that. Why don't you text us, and we can text back, and then you can text us in reply, then so on.

We like Disney.

I've been to Disney more times than you've been to Disney. I can guarantee it. I'm not saying you. I'm saying you the listener. Guaranteed. Oh, and me. And you. And all of you put together.

I've been to Disney a lot. It's something that my parents did for us when we were kids. The only kind of vacation we took when we were kids and we didn't take and we didn't go on we didn't go every year, but we went quite a bit and that was the only vacation we ever took. We never went to like the beach or like, you know, go sightseeing. We went on a cross-country trip and we went to Disney. That's it. That's the only two places we went. So for us, that was kind of like our whole purview. If we were going to have fun and relax, we were going to Disney. That's what we were doing. Disney World down in Florida. And so, and as an adult, I've continued to go. I like it. I think it's cool.

But the more that I go, and anybody who's been to Disney will know this, the more that you have gone, the more modern Disney is not the Disney of yay. It is not. Because you cannot just show up at Disney World and have a good time. You now have to plan every minute of every day all the time, or you will not get on any rides. That's the way it is. So now Disney used to be that back in the day, I don't know, this probably started in the 90s,

they would put these little boxes in front of the rides. It was called a fast pass. Oh yeah. It was an invention by the Disneyland, the Disney World organization. Because when you think about it, I realized this on a trip with Astrid when we were dating, like we went on a Disney trip when we were dating. And I realized something. Disney is not in the business of theme parks. They are not in the business of hotels. The Disney world like, um...

Sphere, universe. Yeah, the Disney world, Disneyland. Like, I'm talking about the theme parks, right? They are not in the business of rides. They are not in the business of concessions. They are in the business of crowd management. They are in the business of logistics. That's what they do. They have in the business of logistics.

That's what they do. They have to figure out how you get you from point A to point B, and the way in which they want you to do that, and then they extract your American Express from your wallet every time you get there. And do that efficiently, and do it in a way where you wanna rinse and repeat

every time. And that way, if you like the experience and they do it efficiently enough, then they can continue to raise the prices every year and you will come back every time. They do a lot of things really well. They do some things I don't think so well. But at the end of the day, anybody who's been to Walt Disney World and likes Disney in general, believes that that's a place they want to go back to. And the kids buy into it because that's how they get you, they start you young. When I was in my teens and 20s and I started going there on my own,

I could literally show up at the front door, buy a ticket and go. You could show up to a ride, you could press a button, out would come a ticket. That ticket would say, you'd be back between three and four o'clock, and you can go in the back door, and we'll get you on the ride just as soon as possible. Yeah, that's what I'm picturing. I love Six Flags. Yes. And so that's what I'm picturing, is like that.

You show up whenever, and then you kind of just mingle around the park and see what you want to ride and wait in the virtual line. Yeah, that's Six Flags for you, but you know, the Six Flags in Disney have two distinct experiences. You're right, yes. And, you know, you could get stabbed at Six Flags. It's probably not gonna happen at Walt Disney World. I mean, I'm just sharing.

There's stabbings at Six Flags. Don't you remember there was like a shooting here a couple of years ago? Was there? Oh, a couple of shootings. Yeah, I mean, listen, Six Flags, I think is generally a cool place too, but it's just two different bonds.

Of course, yeah. But then you don't spend the night at Six Flags. I mean, I guess you could, but you wouldn't really want to. But so now they have this billion dollar Oracle app that they've rolled out where you have to, a week ahead of time, if you're staying on the property, then you can plan all of, you can plan three or four rides per park, that, that, that, that, that, bop, bop, bop, the day before you show up. So today's the day we have to get up and plan every bit, every bop, every twist, every turn in our vacation. And we have 17 children, most of which don't even speak yet.

And we have no fucking clue what's gonna happen. I've been just me and Astrid and we have no clue what's gonna happen. We think that we can be at one park and make it over to dinner the next park in 45 minutes, but we don't really know that that's what's gonna happen because kids are unpredictable and humans are too and no one fucking really knows.

But Disney demands that of you or you will lose. How will you lose? You will have to stand in the regular lines that can be on average two to three hours long. If you go and stand in line for two to three, see the thing is now you have to upgrade and buy these extra passes, right? These lightning lane passes. I'm not saying this is a terrible idea because I don't really know. They're in the business of logistics,

I am not. I am the business of paying them to be in the business of logistics and then begging American Express to take $12 a day out of my pocket until I can pay them back. But the reality is, is like, you have to have to pay to make sure that you can get on these rides in a decent amount of time. Because if you don't pay, you're not playing the game that everybody else is playing and you will certainly wait in line much longer than you otherwise would have. Does that make sense? Yeah. Let me explain. If I go to Space Mountain, the roller coaster,

the world famous roller coaster inside of the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, the one that's in the dark that's been there since 1922. Yeah, I remember that was my favorite. It is my favorite, still my favorite years later, right? It's a silly little ride, but everyone loves it. That wait, that regular line, just go wait in line. Hey, we're walking around Disney. What do we do? Space Mountain, okay, let's go wait in line. Can regularly be over two hours long, two hours long. That's two hours.

That's two episodes of the commercial break. So if I go there and I just wait in line, okay, I'm waiting two hours. I've now wasted from 10 a.m. to noon just standing there waiting for a three and a half minute ride. But if I spend the extra whatever to get the Lightning Lane pass, I can go in the quick line and maybe I wait 15 minutes. Maybe. But if I don't buy that, then everybody else in the park, the 50% of the people in the park

who are paying that extra money are getting the most out of their vacation while the rest of us are spending two to three hours per ride just waiting on it. How many rides can you get in in a day if you're waiting two to three hours? No, you can like two, three. Four, yeah, tops.

Four, yeah. Yeah, and that's if you spend the entire day there. It's gonna be 1000 degrees down there. You think I wanna spend every minute of the day down there? No, from 12 to two, I wanna be at a cabana drinking a frosty chitterita. That's what I wanna do. So therefore, you have to play the game.

Cause if you don't play the game, you're not gonna get the most out of the experience you just literally sold sperm for. The tickets are expensive, right? They're very expensive. It's hundreds of dollars a day. Once you add the lightning thing on there and you plan it all out, and then you get an E.D. package or a Mickey Snacky package.

If you get the Mickey Snacky package, you're spending a couple hundred dollars a day per person. That's without the hotel room. It's incredibly expensive. And I'm not saying it shouldn't be. I don't know. Maybe it should be. Maybe that's the way they keep- Well, supply and demand.

Supply and demand. That's right. There was this overarching argument during the pandemic when Disney started reopening the parks after they closed for about a month from COVID, they would let just a few people in and they started slowly ratcheting up their prices. And people were saying, holy shit, it's like really getting expensive. But the people who were going to the parks were like, wow, we can get on a lot of rides. We can do a lot of things. It's not as crowded as it was just two years ago.

You couldn't even, the Magic Kingdom was regularly closing the front doors because no more people could fit in. No more capacity. Yes, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of hotels in the Orlando area where people just fly in. They stay at other hotels. Disney doesn't know they're coming. They show up at the front door, they buy a ticket

and guess what? They can't get in because it's closed because the fire marshal says no more PP. Listen, here's the reality. Disney had to do something, so what did they do? They raised prices in the hopes that some people that can't quite afford it would drop off and decide not to show up at the front door and they could still make the money that they needed to make. It's a game that they're playing. And is it the wrong one? I don't know, it's capitalism at work.

I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right. But I'm not particularly excited. And I will continue to go to Disney if I can afford it. And with so many children, I don't know, this might be the one and only trip we ever, ever take. It depends on the fate of the commercial break, it really does. It might or might not be the first and last trip that we take to Disney World,

but at the end of the day, if I'm going to go, I mean, I must, I need to play the game. Because I'm not going to take all these twidlins down there and not go on at least six rides in a day. It's just not gonna happen. Because then why else the fuck am I going to go to see how pretty Disney World is? It's a lot of money to spend to see some flowers in the shape of a Mickey. You know what I'm saying, Chrissy? It seems like a lot to think about. It's a lot! That's why we had, I didn't hire her because you don't hire her, but there's all these, mainly women, I'm sure there are men out there that do this too, but there are a lot of women

who are stay at home moms. I would imagine because that's what they target. They target stay at home moms that know the Disney world layout, Disneyland, Disneyland, Paris, Disneyland, Tokyo, wherever it is. And they are certified Disney vacation planners. And what they do is they will for free help you plan your vacation up to and including making reservations for dinners,

for rides and all this stuff. Well, what's in it for them? What's in it for them is they get huge vacation discounts. Disney often brings them down there for free vacations to show them new rides, show them how to do things. They're a specific Disney travel agent. Yes, and Disney kicks back the money to them, right? So they get access, I think, to discounts.

They get a commission. They get a commission and stuff like that. So for the first time ever, I could walk into any of those parks down there in Florida and you could blindfold me and I promise you, I could figure out where I was going. The first time ever, for the first time ever, we said, let's get a Disney vacation planner because this is getting a little too calm. This is getting a little out of hand. I don't know what to do anymore. Right. So anyway, so figures I'd probably

be getting sick. Number one, number two, uh, you know, we're going to go down there and we're going to see what happens. I'll, I'll certainly keep you abreast of the situation. Oh, I cannot wait to hear about all of this. Oh, you know that, oh, it's gonna be good. Listen, I'm also watching a lot of park videos as we lead up into this, just to kind of take the temperature, no pun intended, of what's going on down there.

And it's also, you know, the world, Disney isn't, Disney World is not immune to the world. And a lot of people are getting revved up down there about a lot of different things. Yeah, people go in there, they're all fussy and angry because they spent all this money and then they got somebody walking in front of them and cutting them off.

And why are you driving that stroller like that? And I demand this and I deserve that. The problem is the entire fucking world thinks that the goddamn King of England. And that's the problem. I have my own issues. I can get a little fussy when I'm driving. I think you might need to take an edible before you go. Before I go down to Disney? I don't get hot like that. Like I don't, when I go out in the world, I'm not like that. I mean,

I certainly get frustrated at things people do, but I'm not one to start vocalizing to get in fights, to get upset. That's not me. And I hate when people disrespect customer service agents, unless the customer service agents are acting like real assholes. That's a different story altogether.

But highly unlikely you're gonna find that down at Disney World. But people, they just get so entitled. It's like they, they think they have to have something that everybody else can't have because they are the grand poobahs of whatever nation they came from. They think they're Mr. Beast who just rented out Disney for a million dollars. Disney World or Disneyland?

It was... Disneyland. Maybe Disneyland. A million dollars. Yes, for one night for a date night. Disney World or Disneyland? It was... Disneyland. Maybe Disneyland. Yeah. $1,000,000. Yes, for one night for a date. For a date. Uh-huh.

Well, that's what you get when you're the billion dollar YouTube creator. We are the 32 cent YouTube creators. We're the penny creators. We are the penny creators. The dime store, if you will. And I can't wait... The dime store, if you will. Well, we are the petty creators. The dime store, if you will. Oh, we are the dime store.

What was funny is that we were talking the other day about we were talking the other day about tipping, to ensure promptness. Which is not really what TIP stands for, but this is what this guy said to me. TIP is like an old pirate

word or something, I don't know. And insure is spelled with an E, I know that. I understand. Insure is to like insure your car. Insure is to make sure something happens, right? I get that, I understand that. I'm just telling a funny story that a guy did when I was at a restaurant.

Okay, all right. So our Instagram and our YouTube went crazy, right? This reel's getting shared and all this other stuff. And then we get to 6,500 followers, which is no feat whatsoever at all. Kim Kardashian has 162 million followers and we have 6,500. But we get this holy shit notice from Instagram. It's like, you've reached 6,500. We put together a story for you.

Make sure you share it. Like through the years, here's your best reel. Your account is growing. And I'm like, if you think for one fucking second, all of a sudden you love us, you've showed us no attention whatsoever. And then all of a sudden we get one extra follower that gets us to 6,500. And now you want us to share that we're losers? Fuck you. Fuck you. That's so stupid. I was like, the hell I'm gonna share this. Fuck no. Well, but thanks to whoever that 6,500 person was.

Yeah. Jenny.attt.appc. Thank you. Love you. All right. Well, everyone settle down. We will be here next week, though. You'll hear new episodes.

That's right. We think. Anyway, unless I'm sick. And then, I don't know, roll the dice. I guess. Here we think. Anyway, unless I'm sick and then, I don't know, roll the dice. I guess here we go. It always figures when you need to be here at your best, you're at your worst. That's the way it works.

What's stressful sometimes is just to get to the vacation, you know? Yes. And we should have never told the kids we were going. We should have never told the kids. Brian couldn't keep his mouth shut. That's my fault. That's me. That's on me. Astrid wanted to, Astrid said, don't tell them till like the day before.

Yeah. And I'm like, guess what kids, we're going to Disney World. In two years. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Oh, I can only imagine. Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

We'll all figure it out. It's going to be a good time. One way or the other. Then I'm watching this, somebody put together a reel of kids meeting their favorite character down in Disney World. So like a sappy song. Yeah. Like freaking out, but like in a good way. Like hugging them, kissing them, like crying, you know. To this sappy song, it was like a minute and a half long reel.

And I thought to myself, all the drama, all the stress, all the planning, the driving, the heat, all of it. And it will have all been worth it at the end. Because I will have 3,000 photographs of my children at Disney World. So if we never go again, kids, here. Remember when. Look through the photos.
