Starting point is 00:00:10 On this episode of the commercial break. During the six, almost seven years of this incredibly mediocre comedy podcast, Chrissy and I have done one thing and one thing only consistently. And that is put out that mediocre comedy content every single week. Chrissy and I have big changes coming, big news, lots of exciting stuff. And one of those things was a technological move from one hosting platform to the other. You don't give a shit. I couldn't explain it if I tried.
Starting point is 00:00:40 So last week, when you opened up your podcast player expecting to hear a brand new episode of the commercial break, you heard silence. And for the first time ever, since we started this show, no show was to be found. But alas, we've solved the problem. And now, for your listening pleasure, more new commercial break episodes. You're stuck with us, kids. We're going to be here for a long time, a long, long time. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris Joy Houdley. Best to you, Chris. Good. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast. Universe, fall is upon us.
Starting point is 00:01:22 I've got a spring in my step. I'm feeling good. The crisp air in the morning. There is, the crisp air in the morning. In New York, it's even crisper in the morning. It's like almost cold at night. It's not cold, cold, but a sweater is an order. I like it.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I know, me too. Everyone's bouncing around. New York is very lively right now. It's everyone's out there, you know. Oh, yeah. Fall in New York. It's fun. I've been up there for times in fall. I haven't been. I mean, I have been up there during fall, but I was too stoned to realize that I was up there during fall. Last time I was
Starting point is 00:01:49 up there in fall, so I'm hoping with a clear head, you know, things will feel better. I'm really excited about Christmas time because I know that that is magical in New York. That I do recall bits and pieces of being there when I was in Christmas. In between snorting lines of ketamine, I was, you know, paying attention to you. I want to go to 30 Rock. I want to go do all of that. hopefully I can convince Astrid to come up there. So far, I think she enjoys me just being, I think she likes New York being my thing. I think she likes New York being my thing. She gets a break?
Starting point is 00:02:19 Yeah. Well, she's going out of town with her friends this weekend. Oh, fun. Under normal circumstances, I would call a foul on the play, but I don't see how I can call a foul on the play, given that I'm literally not here two nights a week. Yes. It's hard for me to say, no, I don't want you to do that. And she's going with all the girls and they're going to get a cabin and just, no, no.
Starting point is 00:02:39 No, no. No. No. No. Yeah, okay. Maybe she deserves it, but I deserve a break too. I've had surgery on my birthday. That was your break.
Starting point is 00:02:48 That was my break. According to some people in my family, I've given you long enough to recover. Fuck twads. But, you know, listen, okay, go, you know, go to your lesbian convention. I don't care. Go up there with the bears. You run around in your 90s. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:07 That's what I envision. Having pillow fire. I envision pillow fights and nighties and the fire in the background. Yeah. And then all of a sudden people are making out. I have a whole porn movie going on in my head. Yeah. Meanwhile, it's probably, you know, sitting around eating Cheetos, farting and talking about what an asshole our husbands are.
Starting point is 00:03:25 So I'll allow it. I'll allow it on this occasion. I'll allow the play. I'll allow the play. I'll, uh, you know, uh, what do they say? Uh, you know, the penalty is, uh, declined. The penalty is declined on this one. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Good. Yeah. Exciting. Speaking of bears, too, that made me think of, have you seen the Fat Bear Week? Oh, is the Fat Bear Week? Well, it was last week. They crowned the winner. And, okay, it was a Fat Bear.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I can't remember the name, but it had a fun. Isn't it like a Japanese mountain bear or something? I think I saw this. No, it's just the big brown bears. Oh. It's like the 15th year they've done it. Oh. Yeah, they, you know, everybody votes online.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Oh. They have videos of them, and it's just, you know, these bears pack on all this way before they go hibernate. Oh, that's true. Yes. I've seen, only recently in my life have I seen bears come out of hibernation, like on video. And that's a rather strange thing to watch. Like, you think about it, they literally have slept for four months. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah. They just slept for four months. I feel like at 50, I feel like a bear sometimes. I feel like I want to sleep for four months. But the way they come out of those, and they're all drunk and they're just like, kind of coming alive again. Yeah, I think it's the best time to be in front of a bear is when they're just coming out of four months ever sleep. Although they're hungry. They're hungry. That's true. But they're still a little, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:42 like what in their brain, what chemical allows them to sleep for four months in a row? It's amazing, really? It is. And with all that hair and fat, like, aren't they cool? Can they just be out? I mean, polar bears, I guess, are out in the cold, but can't they just be out there in the cold? But I guess there's nothing to eat, nothing to do. So they've just developed this, and it's boring. Let's just sleep through it. It's like, it's boring. There's nothing going on. It's like Saturday afternoon golf. It just puts you to sleep. You're like, yeah, nothing else going on. I'll take a nap. And when I wake up, I'll have missed nothing.
Starting point is 00:05:12 So there's, there you go. Right, and it'll be spring. We went to a pigeon forge. Oh, you did? Yeah, a couple of years ago. I think we've been up there twice now. But we went up there, we got a cabin, and, you know, and that's kind, it's not where Astrid is going, but it's close-ish.
Starting point is 00:05:29 It's like up there, you know, Delonaga Blue Ridge up there in the northeast Georgia Mountains. And, you know, I said to some of the girls and my wife, I said, you'd be You got to be careful. There's bears up there. And they're like, no, no, no. And I'm like, oh, no, no, there are bears up there. And they come into people's cabins and they take their food. They're very keen to hang out with humans because humans are where the good food is. Yes. And there are, there's video after video of the pigeon forge area, the Lonega, Blue Ridge. They go into shops, like candy shops, and they'll take all the candy out of the candy shops in the middle of the night. You can Google these Instagram videos. They're all over the place. It's not uncommon to see bears up there. And when my dad had his cabin, we saw bears up there. When we went to Pigeon Forge, we heard bears up there in the nighttime. We were like on a big porch, but you can hear them forging around, you know, out there. And it's very scary. So I told the girls, I said, you got to lock your shit. You do. You have to lock it down. And they have, like, bear locks and stuff on, like, the trash and things like that up there. Yeah, you got to be real careful about that stuff because you'll end up face-to-face with a bear and you won't know. Dude, now, these are like brown bears, you know, black bears. You know, they're fast.
Starting point is 00:06:40 They can climb up trees, but they're, like, not the biggest bears in the world. But I don't care what kind of bear you're up. You just don't want to fuck around with a bear. No, you don't want to come up against that. But we were at Pigeon Forge. Yeah, Pigeon Forge, like near Dollywood. And it's like Daytona in the mountains, right? It really is.
Starting point is 00:06:59 It's so redneck. We would go up there, you know, every so often. Yes, it is. Yeah. It's got like a strip, you know, like a main drag, and it's got all the little cheesy shops and things. It's beautiful up in that area, though. It's gorgeous outside of the strip of Pigeon Forge. I mean, they have like a Paula Dean complex there.
Starting point is 00:07:20 It's like a strip mall for Paula Dean with her three-story restaurant, and then they have, like, you know, rides that you have to pay $50 apiece for the kids to get on there. It's very much like Panama City Beach in the mountains. And a lot of the stuff is old. It's been there for a long time. They had this breakfast place you would go to. And then you go to the breakfast place. And all around you up on top, like of this little ledge are these like chickens. There are chicken, like, you know, stuffed chickens or animatronic chickens and animals. Yes. And you get your breakfast and then the chickens come to life at some point and starts singing you a song.
Starting point is 00:07:58 It's like the Chucky cheese for rednecks. Do you know what I'm saying? With the animals. The barnyard animals, and they're singing songs, and if somebody has a birthday, they do the happy birthday thing. It's so incredibly terrible. And then they have these, you know, I don't know who does this. I don't know who gets this in their mind. I don't know if it's a good business idea, but it must work at some point.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Let's get a motion simulator and then let's make a ride, right? Let's buy a million dollar motion simulator and then let's make a ride. And one of the rides that I saw someone else do, and I didn't do it. I saw someone else do was like, Hurricane the ride. And it is the worst thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It's literally one of those cars that you would sit in in Disney World with like 10 people side by side. You know, and then the car is supposed to go somewhere. But all it does is just move forward into a room and then a bunch of, you know, shitty effects and a lot, like a wind machine.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah, like a wind machine and like a cow flies by on a video screen. And you paid $50 a piece for it. And then it backs out three minutes later. And it's like, you've now been a hurricane. And then you go through the gift. shop, yeah. And I can only imagine that there are hundreds, if not thousands of people out there with a I got hurricane t-shirt. Yeah, that they paid $40 for because that was the first time they'd ever been on any one of those rides. And I'm not knocking it. Listen, by the way, the lovely people up there, we actually went to Paula Dean's restaurant. We didn't know it was Pauline's restaurant until we got sat down. And then it was like, you know, some video in the corner was like, hi, I'm Paul Dane. And I don't like black people. but thanks for joining my restaurant. I was like, I go, babe, I think, I don't, I think we're in Paula Dean's restaurant.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And so we got this food. It's like, I'll serve to family style. My opinion was terrible. It wasn't good. And then we go downstairs to go exit. We like, come up on the second floor, but then we go to exit out the, out the, and it's not, like, we knew it was Paul Deans' restaurant, just to be clear. We knew it was Paul Dean's restaurant when they handed us the menus. And I was like, I have mixed feelings about eating here.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I really do. But it was like the only place that looked like decent within miles. You know what I'm saying? Unless we want to eat at the cluck, cluck, cluck factory or whatever it was. Yeah. Cluck, cluck, chicken huck. I don't know. And so we go and I'm having mixed feelings the whole time.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And I'm looking around and I see a couple of families, you know, families, African American families, black families. And I'm thinking to myself, geez, if I feel bad about this, imagine how they feel. Like, you know, they must be like, I can't believe I'm. All the Dean's her restaurant. Yeah, that was a big scandal. Yeah, it's clear she didn't like black people. Yeah, I mean, that's just clear. But I'm guessing Pigeon Forge, that's acceptable, right?
Starting point is 00:10:44 I don't know. I have no idea. I have no idea. So we go, so then we go downstairs to get to leave the restaurant. And no shit, there's like crate and barrel for Paula Dean. Like Paula Dean's crate and barrel. It's like all these things. Like spices and towels.
Starting point is 00:11:03 and serving trays and, you know, tens of thousands of chotchkes and knickknacks and cookbooks and all this other stuff. Paula Dean may not be anywhere to be found except on her online YouTube channel or whatever she's still doing. But, man, she must be raking it in that three-story fucking restaurant that she's got. It was, by the way, absolutely packed when we went. Absolutely packed. So anyway, so we go to this gift shop. Pigeon Forge's oldest largest gift shop. Come on in.
Starting point is 00:11:37 You know, ride or die. Come on in. Beep, be, be, boom. So we go in. It just looks like a strip mall out front. Yeah. But it's got all that old wooden, you know, feel to it. That southern, you know, you're off the beaten path, look to it outside.
Starting point is 00:11:53 But we go in and it is the size of 10 super Walmarts. I mean, it is huge. And it has got every single. souvenir that you could ever possibly want under the sun about Pigeon Fort and anywhere else, quite frankly. You want a Panama City beach souvenir even though you're 650 miles away? It was there. It was there.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Toys. Oh, God. I've been to those before. Four aisles dedicated to hot sauces. T-shirt on T-shirt on T-shirt. Jerky. Yes. Oh, jerky.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Potato chips that you couldn't find, nor would you want to eat anywhere else in the world. Like all this shit, you know, whiskeys. Oh, yeah. All of it. Everything. It's just there. It's like we spent hours in there. The kids were touching everything.
Starting point is 00:12:40 It became a nightmare after a while because I was like, I just want to get the fuck out of here. I don't want to spend any more money here. But, you know, fish tank the size of Houston that, you know, you could go fishing in, I guess. I don't know. You have fishing poles, shotgun shells, just everything. Plenty of, you know, rebel regalia, gear, all this stuff. But to be fair to this place, and I don't know what this place was called, but to be fair to this place, it was 2023 or four, I guess, right? And so Donald Trump would have been on his, you know, trying to get his second year in office. And they had T-shirts on both sides of the ideological aisle. And I felt, I felt that was a fair way to do it, right? They had, you know, the fuck Trump, you know, Mr. Orange guy. And then they had plenty of pro-Trump stuff. And so I thought, okay, All right, well, at least you're being fair.
Starting point is 00:13:35 You're not losing the audience here. You just go over one aisle and you get what you want. So at some point, I realize that there's an escalator in the middle of this place and it goes upstairs. And it's like, see our, you know, fat bears upstairs. And I'm like, oh, the fat bears. I wonder what that is. Must be these big stuffed animals that you get. You know, you're probably selling $38 stuffed animals up there.
Starting point is 00:13:56 So we go up the escalator and you turn the corner a little bit. And then there's this whole waiting area, like a ticket line. to go see a bear an actual bear not a bear three of them three bears three brown bears or black bear not black bears yeah black bears three black bears and i'm like okay all right i mean is this safe do they have do they have fencing like what is the situation what is the situation exactly but there's a lot of people are waiting in the line to do this and i'm like okay all right let's uh let's check this out so i asked guy he said what's this all about he goes 15 dollars per person you go stand as long as you want you feed them and i'm like feed them and i'm like how close do they get and he goes oh no you're about 40 feet above
Starting point is 00:14:41 30 40 feet above them and i'm like above them what do you mean he's like looking down on him he goes you're going to pay or you're not going to pay he's like you want to you can google it there's probably a video out there and i'm like all right smart ass i guess i'll pay get a kid's discount now kids don't get no discount now do you want the do you want the he's like He's like, do you want the bear buns or not? I'm like, what's a bear bun? And he's like, it's a bun, you can throw it to him. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Yeah, give me five bear buns, I guess. It's actually like a little cup of this like bear like bread or I don't know what it was. It was some kind of weird concoction. So we get it. And then you walk out the door. And I remember you're on the second floor of this place. So you are really like 20, 30 feet up. And you walk out and it's like this wooden plank that's all around this big
Starting point is 00:15:33 stone area. The stone area is like two slides down into a pool and the water, I have never seen water like this before. It reminded me of my first apartment. Yes. Yes. It reminded me of my first apartment and some of the
Starting point is 00:15:49 stuff we would leave in the refrigerator in there. It was weird. I mean, it was disgusting water. They had like one single garden hose. It was like spraying out water. And then they had these slides coming down from like this area where the bears were up in like an enclosure, right?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Okay. And so those poor bears look like the saddest creatures on earth. First of all, it wasn't very big. It really wasn't. Second of all, they were all matted and you could smell them from up where you were. And then you throw the bear buns at them. And it's like, is this peak terrible humanity here? I'm trying to like hit the bear in the head with a bear bun.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Like, I mean, I just paid $28 to throw bear buns. the bear that's clearly not living its best life. It made me feel so fucking bad, honestly. Yeah. Meanwhile, the kids are like, wow, bear buns. You know, throwing the bear buns down there. The kids love it, but the kids don't understand that this is not the way that bears were meant to be. And then we wonder why they end up in our candy shop and the bottom of our basements, you know, our log cabin for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:16:56 It's because we treat those little things like fucking shit. Of course, we're feeding them bear buns all weekend. I didn't like it. I felt sad when I left there. I felt sad. And then there was like another enclosure, like go see the world's first, you know, raccoon tiger or something. I don't know. Like a tiger.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah, weird conchoxion. It's like the time that I went and saw the Ligers. The only two Ligers ever birthed in captivity are here in Georgia at this place. Same place I told you about the monkey, like, me and my ex-girlfriend went and the monkey went fucking bananas. It's like the safari thing. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:35 It's a safari thing. But then they have a zoo with enclosures and they have ligers in there. And these are the biggest cats, period. And dissentants. They're bigger than lions. They're bigger than tigers. They're ligers. They're huge.
Starting point is 00:17:49 But they are in enclosures that are like not much bigger than this room. And it just made me feel sad. Yeah. You know? And they didn't look very happy. I don't think I'd be very happy. That's like the old zoos. I mean, I never remember.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I remember those from when I was really young going to the zoo. And, you know, they would just be in these concrete, you know, cell type looking things. Terrible. Yeah. Terrible. It does make you feel that. You go to Atlanta Zoo and you see the guerrilla exhibit and you're like, that's okay. Like, I get a great job now.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Yeah, they really did a great job. Oh, the pandas are back, by the way. You hear that? Yeah. Lingling and Sing Sing or Zing and Wing Wing. I don't know. Ping and Jing. I don't know what their names are.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It's not the same too that we had two years ago. Oh, I thought it was the same too. No, it's new ones. Oh, okay. The ones we had were cute. But you know what? I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference anyway. No, you wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:18:35 No, it's not like I, it's not like we dated. Yeah. But you go to the zoo in Atlanta and you look at the gorilla enclosure and it really is pretty magical. It's like it looks like a hill in the rainforest. It's very large. They can run from one side to the other. I would get tired running from one side to the other.
Starting point is 00:18:51 And they all look like they're having a great deal of fun out there. But then there's, you know, you go to some of these places. And I can appreciate it if you're like a rescue. You know what I'm saying? And it's better than nothing or it's better than what they had. Right. But in some cases, it's just sad. It is.
Starting point is 00:19:06 The bear enclosure in Pigeon Forge, it didn't make me feel good. I felt like I had contributed to, and like, I'm paying $35, $38 per human being to go in there and look at them. And they must do 600 of these people a day, right? Day and night. Yeah, they're making money from those bears. Yeah, they're in their bear bun in it. And they're selling these, you know, cheap, you know, cornmeal and throwing it out there. They must be making a dickload of money.
Starting point is 00:19:29 you could put some of that back toward the bear enclosure. I know. Like, clean the fucking water at least. Yeah. Let's give the bears a little love. I mean, I get it. Maybe they shouldn't be in, like, chlorinated water. But, like, there's a way to do this.
Starting point is 00:19:39 There are people. I don't think there's anybody on the, I don't think anybody at the gift shop has the zoological expertise to make sure that those bears are taken care of properly. No, I would say not. They probably get the local dog vet to come over and, you know, when you're a vet, I don't think you, like, have a specialty, like dogs and cats. You just do all animals. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:58 Yeah. Yeah, that's true. So they probably just call up the local dog vet and say, hey, I need to de-louse this fucking bear. It's sad. God. It's there. Anyway, you know, ask her and her friends who have fun. Go see the bears.
Starting point is 00:20:12 The bears. Don bears. Go see those damn bears. All right. We'll talk about more sad stuff when we get back. Wee. Thanks for joining us on this episode of the Commission Bank. Hey, it's Rachel.

And then we'll return to this episode of the commercial break. Man, I'll say you what, thank God I don't have a pot to piss in. I don't think you do either. Because, you know, when we die, I don't want our fans. families to go all. If you reading about this Dolly Parton situation? Yeah. About how all of a sudden everyone's all fucking up in arms trying to take the money and get a wrangle control of the estate. She would hate that. She would hate that. Yeah. It's not good.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Here's the thing, guys and girls, all these guys and girls that are involved in this. It's not your fucking money. You didn't earn it. You had no part in it. I mean, maybe you played some small part in the support network that was Dolly Parton's outer and inner ring. Right. But you didn't sing the songs. You didn't go out night after night and write them. And that's all Dolly. Dolly did it.
Starting point is 00:22:09 She was a maid woman. Her husband didn't even show up to events because he didn't want to steal her spotlight. He knew. He knew that she was the show and that he needed to stay the hell out of the way. I think he notoriously didn't like the spotlight either. But I didn't even know she was married until like four years before she died, six years before she died. Now you got the cousin's brother's uncle, Bob the security guard, who's like, you know, the third cousin of, of him who announced the death and maybe he wasn't even supposed to do that, apparently.
Starting point is 00:22:36 And they're all trying to get in on the action, right? They're like, they want to open up their own gift shop with $40, you know, the bear bun t-shirts. And it's like, come on guys. Nothing shines light on the dark corners of a family like a will. That's true. It's terrible. It's terrible.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I had friends that went through this. And they're like pissing and moaning over tens of thousands of dollars. And I don't want to get in all the specifics because I don't want anybody to know who I'm talking about. If you're listening, you know who you are. They really showed their ass over tens of thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars. That was like otherwise, like it's inconsequential. Tens of thousands of dollars goes nowhere. It does nothing.
Starting point is 00:23:22 As a matter of fact, most of the people who got the tens of thousands of dollars when it could have gone to another cause that was much more, that I think the person who died would have wanted. but he left it unclear, so it became unclear. That's the thing, is that then those people who got the money and decided not to help out with this clearly needy situation, you know what they did? They went to fucking Paris. That's what they did. And posted pictures all over Facebook about it.
Starting point is 00:23:48 It was just like a really shitty, terrible way to treat the memory of someone that everyone cared about, and it left an ugly taste in everybody's mouth. Now, I had nothing to do with the family. I'm not part of that particular family. But I just was so sad about all of it. I felt like it was really doing a disservice. And like, Dolly Parton wouldn't have wanted all this.
Starting point is 00:24:08 No. There's enough to go around. Exactly. You're in the fucking will. Just be happy about that. Just be happy about that. It's fucking. People contesting it?
Starting point is 00:24:17 Is that what's happening or what? The executor of the estate said... Hopefully she had everything, like, really nailed down as far as... Yeah, you'd think so. You'd think so. Is the executor, too? Was it her manager? Like her long-time manager?
Starting point is 00:24:35 Her long-time security guard. The guy who announced her death. He was the nephew or whatever. The nephew. His dad was the longer-time security guard, like in charge of security on the estate and her personal security. And then nephew, Bob, became whatever. And then the executor of the state fired that guy because apparently there was some stuff that he was trying to do that the executive said, the executor said, nope, we're not doing that. They didn't specify.
Starting point is 00:25:01 But what it sounds like is that the nephew was trying to take steps to capitalize on the death and the executor decided not now, not here, right? And that's the executor's job. Yes, it is. And Dolly put the executor in charge because she believed that his wishes and his direction would be needed here. A line with hers. Yeah. And so he said you're fired, but you're not out of the will. You're not out of the will.
Starting point is 00:25:28 You're just fired, right? We need to fire you. We need to get you away from the situation for right now. I'm filing for a restraining order. However, I want to make it clear. And he even said this in a press release. I want to make it clear. You are still in the will.
Starting point is 00:25:40 You are still part of the estate. I'm not taking any action there. I just don't want you around the estate. I don't want you in the physical space. I don't want you on the property. Right. Okay, something must have happened. He didn't take that action for no reason.
Starting point is 00:25:54 And maybe the simple reason is, might be as simple as, Dolly's not here anymore. There's nothing to protect. Right? I mean, that might be it. I don't know. But, you know, now the nephew, and apparently maybe the nephew wasn't even supposed to announce the death. Really?
Starting point is 00:26:05 I don't know. It's all conjecture and speculation. But here we go, drumming it up. And I had just gotten done maybe a day before I heard about this. I'd just gotten done reading an entire story about Jimmy Buffett and his crazy estate. Really? Oh, Jimmy's worth billions. You know, the guy had, he turned one song into an entire universe.
Starting point is 00:26:25 I know. I mean, no one in the history of rock and roll did a better job. No anti-capitalist in the history of anti-capitalism that did better being a capitalist than Jimmy Buffett. Yeah, he had everything. Planes, trains, houses. Retirement communities. Those things are packed too. They're packed.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Yes. The one down in Orlando is sold out and it's going for phase eight or whatever. I know. I know. It's going to match the. It's going to the villages and Margaritaville are going to meet at some point down in Orlando. It's going to be the villages at Margaritaville. I mean, it's insane.
Starting point is 00:27:00 because he sold the lifestyle, the salt and sugar, the margarita lifestyle, and old white people who are going crazy over it. They love it. They want to go sit next to palm trees and drink margaritas and snort cocaine. That's what they want to do. And that's what they are doing in all these places. And not to mention, they've got resorts. They have a cruise ship that's been rated the worst cruise ship ever. We talked about that. We were going to go on the cruise. We were going to go on the cruise. I still am up for that. But it's just like, it's a whole mess because the wife, the daughter, right, was apparently like Jimmy's baby. The daughter was. But there were problems, right, with the wife and the daughter. And the daughter at the rock and roll hall of fame
Starting point is 00:27:48 something or other made a gesture like you mom or something like that, right? Said something on camera, it showed up. And then the mom went apeshit and tried to take the daughter out of the will. Then the executor of the will, the executor of the will, filed a restraining order against the mother, saying she's trying to take over actions that are clearly in my per se. Jimmy wanted me to be the executor because he did not trust his wife with, he did not trust her to make these kind of business decisions. He did not think she was savvy in that way. And there's all these millions, billions of dollars that are at stake. There's real estate holdings and lots of stuff out there. And so now they're all going at it too. Now the dollar and
Starting point is 00:28:29 the mother aren't talking and the executor suing the wife and the wife is suing the executor. It's just like a whole fucking hot mess. Meanwhile, juxtaposition on all of this. And Jimmy Buffett's barefoot on stage, you know, waste it away again and Margarita Ville. And everyone's backbiting each other. I mean, everything was fine when Jimmy was cutting the checks, but now Jimmy's not here. We all got to wrangle to get in control of the money that you didn't earn. Now, I'm sure the daughter and the wife were an important part of the support system to make Jimmy have the ability to, you know, to prop him up and put him out there sometimes. I'm sure that had something to do with it. And I don't think Jimmy ignored any of them. He said, yeah, here's the, here's the money.
Starting point is 00:29:10 What am I going to do with it? Here, you have it now. But I just like, there's this. Money makes people do crazy things. It really does. I swear there's that show on headline news that I love watching. It's not headline news anymore, you know, I mean. Oh, no. There's no news. What is it? It's the forensic files. It's just 24-hour forensic files, which sometimes I like to tune into. Hey, who can blame you?
Starting point is 00:29:35 I know. And I swear, like, the majority of it all, of any kind of murders and things that have happened is somehow to do with money. Somehow to do with money. It always, yeah, it always comes. Yeah, there's motivation. Money is usually at the top of it. Money, love, or lust, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:55 But you just juxtaposition. upon this woman who's been with Jimmy for a long time, right? They were married and divorced and married again. Oh, really? Yes. And his... But it's not the mother of the child, or is it? I don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I think you're right. I think it's like from another merit, like the in-between time or whatever. But the current wife, the wife that he had when he died, apparently was like rock-solid. When he was dying, they went up to Connecticut or wherever he had, you know, he wanted to be. They went up there and he was in this room overlooking the ocean. He had this huge house and he had this room with a balcony and they would roll him out there on his bed. And he had this lawn in the backyard. And she convinced Paul McCartney to come and play music for Jimmy and what would be a couple of his last days
Starting point is 00:30:52 because she knew how much that relationship meant to Jimmy. and Paul did, and there was like a whole crew of people that she invited to come sit on the lawn, and she respectfully took everybody's phones so that it was just a moment they remembered, and it wasn't a moment that got filmed. And, like, apparently she was a very loving and doting wife and did the best she could under really difficult circumstances at the end. And then money comes into play, and everybody turns into a fucking monster, right? Remember that moment, and just remember that Jimmy probably would have wanted none of this.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Now, I don't know Jimmy personally. but I can't, but I did meet him one time. And I can't, I did. And I can't imagine, I did. You ready for this? I want to hear this? Yes, I didn't know that you would mention. Let me cap this by saying,
Starting point is 00:31:35 I can't imagine that the guy that I met, that the guy that we all heard, that the guy that I saw on stage a couple different times, even though I was not a parrot head. Let me make that clear. Yeah. But sometimes he would come through Atlanta and it was a party, so you just went.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Right. I can't imagine that this is what he would have wanted. There's plenty to go around. I go to, this place called Adisto Island in South Carolina. It's just north or south of Charleston. I can't remember at this point. But at that time, back in the late 90s, it's just a tiny little island with one strip and maybe a hundred houses on it, right? And I went with my friend, the girl that I was dating, and the girl that he was dating, that we all worked at Chili's. No, this was her Chili's days.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Yes. And the girl that he was dating, her grandfather, was like the guy who was like the longtime mayor of a disto island. He was like the guy, right? So they had long roots. They had lots of roots there. And we drive one night. We're all excited. We get off work. We drive one night through the night to get to a disto island. And we get to this house. And David and I have about four grams of cocaine on us. Right. With the kids margaritas. Yes. Yes, the Rochambeau and kids margarita. That's right. And we. And we. we go to this house and then we end up being up all night. I end up being up all night. Let's put it that way. And then at 8 in the morning, my friend comes downstairs and he goes, do you want to go to the driving range? There's a driving range here.
Starting point is 00:33:06 And I am like, have had maybe 15 seconds of sleep, right? And so then we start cutting some rails and we decide to go to the driving room. It's like 8 in the morning. Nothing like protecting your swing. That's right. While you're gacked up. So we get in the car, we stop by the only store in town, we pick up a case of beer, whatever it is, or maybe we brought it from the refrigerator, I can't remember, and we go to the driving range,
Starting point is 00:33:32 and there are two guys there, one on this side of me and one on that side of me, all the way at the end, all the way at the end, and my friend and I kind of just buddy up in the middle. I had never swung a golf club in my entire life. What? That was the first time. The very first time. I really did not get into golf until later on in life, and I still probably would not be any good. Anyway, I started swinging the golf club, annihilated. I mean, I am annihilated.
Starting point is 00:33:57 This is the same trip, by the way, that we went to Charleston, and I drove back, and I fell asleep on the bridge for like a minute and a half. And my friend was, like, staring at me in disbelief that I was driving. This is probably the same day, actually, I would imagine. Of course I'm tired. I'm wasted. And so I start swinging the golf club. And if I hit the ball, I have the club face open. It's just like heading toward this guy every time.
Starting point is 00:34:26 On the right? Yeah, on the right. So finally the guy comes over and he goes, hey, man, you ain't good at this. So I don't know. Did you stop? No, he goes, why don't we switch? And I'll be on the left of you. You be down here.
Starting point is 00:34:40 That way it goes in the net, don't hurt nobody. And I was like, ah, okay. Am I in trouble? Yeah, exactly. Huh, ha, ha, ha, ha. So we get done, we go back to the house. The girls are up there waiting, you know, they're cooking us breakfast. Of course, breakfast, I'm not going to eat, but okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:57 So David and I run downstairs in the basement. By the way, these girls, they don't know. They're goody, too. Like, they have no idea what's going on, right? We're just drinking. It's 10, 30 in the morning, and we're drinking, and our mouths are going a mile a minute. No one's eating breakfast. And we go and we walk out on this boardwalk beach access.
Starting point is 00:35:14 And as we're walking, and I shit you negatively, we can hear somebody playing guitar, acoustic guitar. Okay. We're walking in between these two houses that are on the beach. And as we walk on this boardwalk along the house and we look over to who's playing guitar on a patio, it is Jimmy fucking Buffett. 1130 in the morning, Disto Island, South Carolina. I don't know. We could probably double check my train. triangulate, whatever. How did you know for sure? Because we were close enough. And I, and I, and I had, I knew who Jimmy Buffett was. Like, I mean, I was a kind of like a music officiant on, a little bit of like a savant in that way. I knew exactly it was a savant. I knew that, because I knew that was Jimmy Buffett had seen pictures.
Starting point is 00:36:04 No sleep. Yeah, no sleep. Gacked out of my head. Yeah, I'm just like, but he was also like singing a tune. There were a couple of other people that were with him. He was like singing a tune. It was clear. It was. It was. clear as day that either this was the world's best Jimmy Buffett impersonator or this was actually Jimmy Buffett. And so I said out loud, are you Jimmy Buffett? And he goes, and he stops. And he goes, hey man, how you doing? And I go, are you Jimmy Buffett again? Right? And he's, and his friend, the people start laughing. And he goes, well, last time I checked I was. You know? Oh my God. And so then And everyone's going crazy. We're all like, oh, my God, what are you doing here? And, you know, I forgot what he said. You know, I have a boat. It's up in Charleston. Whatever, we're here for the weekend. Forget what he said. And he comes to the railing. And so now we're like five feet apart. Like, hit the railing of his balcony, this elevated boardwalk. We're Brian's mouth going a million miles per hour. Probably the blood coming out of my nose. Two beers in my hand. I don't think I did it. I've never worn sunglasses. I'm sure. I was like, he probably just thought I was really excited to see him, which I was.
Starting point is 00:37:21 So he came over and talked to us for a few minutes and, you know, he was there with some friends and they went a beautiful island. And, you know, and then the girl, you know, why, how are you here? And then she told the story about the, yo, my family's head thing. Oh, I know your, I know your dad. I think I know your dad. I think I met him at the Jimmy's, you know, shark shack down the way. It was like one bar on the island. The seafood bar and restaurant on the entire island, right, at the end of the strip.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And so there was like a nice little exchange and then, you know, that maybe lasted five, maybe 10 minutes, at least in my mind it lasted five or 10 minutes, probably 30 seconds. There were words, a lot of words exchange. I can't remember exactly what it was said. But then we went to the beach. We were there for all of like 35 minutes and I was like, like, just crashing. And so I decide I'm going to go back up, right? Because I need to get out of the sun. I'm irritated.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I'm tired. I'm drunk. All the things. And so when I go back up, now they're just out. there talking. And if I remember correctly, he had a cigar at that time, right? And I said, hey, man, I just want to let you know. It was really nice to meet you. Like, you know, I'm a big fan of music. I wasn't. I wasn't. But, you know, what am I going to say? Yeah, what am I going to say? I mean, I like a couple of the songs, but. And I said, hey, I just wanted to let you know.
Starting point is 00:38:34 And he goes, hey, man, well, thanks. You know, that means a lot to me. And I hope you all have a good, weekend. You want a cigar? This is what he said to me. Do you want a cigar? I said, no, I feel like I was going to throw up. I think, yeah. I go, I go, no, no. Thanks. But then apparently when the other people were coming back up a couple hours later, like they were cooking out or something and he asked if they wanted a steak or a burger or something. Like he just was a really, really seemed like a very down-to-earth guy. I've seen interviews with him. Yeah, he seems very down-to-ear. And I think that's the way that he lived his life. I think he traveled kind of from island to island
Starting point is 00:39:08 and adventure to adventure and just, you know, and he's saying about being a pirate, I think he really loved. What a life. So is he really going to want you guys fussing and fighting over all this money? there's so much to go around, so much to go around. And if you can't decide on it, why don't you call Chrissy and I, and Chrissy and I won't fight about any of it. Just give it to all of us. Just donate it to our cause.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Any cause. Related to the commercial break. Yeah, the human fund. That's right. All right, let's take a break, and we'll be back. Let me do something Brian has never done. Be brief. Follow us on Instagram at the commercial break.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Text or call us. 4333-3-3-3-TCB. That's 212 433-3822. Visit our website, TCB Podcast.com, for all the audio, video, and your free sticker. Then watch all the videos at YouTube.com slash the commercial break. And finally, share the show. It's the best gift you could give a few aging podcasters. See, Brian? That really wasn't that difficult. Now, was it? You're welcome. All right. Well, you know, it couldn't all be fun in shits and giggles this episode. So I'm now going to bring us down for the last segment of the episode. Wait, hold on me. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, yeah. We, the shits and giggles part, let me clarify that. That was talking about sad bears that are in close.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Sad bears. And then Jimmy Buffett. And death people are fighting. Yeah. Okay. Just one to clear that. Maybe we had a little bit of fun with my, you know, yacked up Jimmy Buffett story.
Starting point is 00:40:47 I know. Like for one minute in your life, Brian, could you have been an adult and maybe you actually would have connected with somebody? You know what I'm saying? At the time, I desperately wanted to be a. musician. I'm sure I said something stupid. Like, I play guitar. You want to jam?
Starting point is 00:41:02 Yeah, you want a jam? He was like, no, but how about a cigar? He's like, sure, if you can figure out how to get on this porch. Without touching the sand, I'll let you come jam with us. Yeah, his friends were probably like, oh my God, these guys. But I think we were the only people on a disto island at that time, too. Like, it was just, there was nobody there. I mean, just nobody.
Starting point is 00:41:24 It used to be. I don't think it is so. much anymore. Actually, every once in a blue moon, I'll like look at a image of a disto island. And I think I've been there once after. And I mean, like any beach community now, it's like everything got built up in a million-dollar houses. And it wasn't like that. I mean, I do remember the house that Jimmy was at was like one of those tall beach houses, right, with on the stilts and stuff. Right. What I wanted to share is, you know, the horrific story that's coming out of Tennessee. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I can't even imagine like I just I know I know it's awful I'm against the death penalty if for one reason and one reason only you there have got to be times when you're getting it wrong got to be times when you're getting it wrong we know from long enough living in this this country history that criminal prosecutions sometimes do go wrong people get framed for stuff they didn't do DNA doesn't is not a perfect science you can be as sure as you can be sure as you can be sure as you can be sure, but there's always going to be one or two or five that slipped through the cracks. We already know that we've executed people that ended up being innocent. We know that for a fact. There's like, I think there's like six people in the history of the United States of America that have been executed that were clearly not guilty of the crime. And many years later that was figured out. So those people are now dead, can't get that back. But even if it was just one, that's too many. Yes. Right. And I just am not a huge believer in eye for an eye. I think that life in jail is plenty of punishment enough if you've ever been. been there, I have, it's not pleasant. There is nothing pleasant about it.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Spend years there, can't even imagine. I spent a day there and I was terrified. Yeah. Terrified. But this lady, this Pikely, Pike lady, she killed a friend of hers.
Starting point is 00:43:16 It was like a romance or a love triangle or something. Kind of a love triangle, but really just like she just, she got annoyed by her friend and ended up killing her in the most brutal of ways, right? I don't even want to get into all that. Yeah. But killed her friend in the most brutal of ways.
Starting point is 00:43:32 She was a teenager. She was a kid. And she laughed about it afterwards. She clearly had no remorse, at least not immediately. She was, something was wrong with her. And it would indicate to me probably mental illness, but I don't know. I'm not here to make that judgment call. Nor do I think that's really an excuse.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Can't kill people. But now 30 years later, or whatever it is, the execution, her comes a calling. She has her final appeals. She does her best. She explains to the court in her final Supreme Court appeal. She explains that she has something that's different about her body chemistry. Yeah, that's what I was reading. This is just like insane. Yeah. She said something about it before the execution like this is not going to go smoothly. Yes, that something about her particular body chemistry, that doctors have figured out, that lethal injection could go wrong. for her. And the Supreme Court, or whoever, I think like the appeals court, before the Supreme Court,
Starting point is 00:44:33 Supreme Court didn't even hear the execution station. They just passed on it. So that means nothing. You're not going to get in it. But the appeals court said, the burden of proof is on you to scientifically share with us how that would happen. And they couldn't do that, not in the timely manner that they needed, nor was there like a lot of expertise on this particular disease or whatever she had. Well, guess what? It happened. They hit her up with two separate lethal injections in the course of an hour, and she's still alive. Yeah, they had to call the medical. Yeah, they had to call the ambulance. The attorney had to write an emergency stay, an emergency restraining order, a stay of execution, had to write it while she was sitting there on the gurney choking on her own spit, still alive.
Starting point is 00:45:16 He had to write it and fax it in or run to the courthouse. I can't even imagine what happened in that situation. but the judge immediately was like press pause get her medical help immediately and that's what they did thank god there was a judge with some fucking common sense in his head but get help immediately this is like not even the first botched lethal uh there's not the first botched execution that has happened this year it happened earlier this year too this is insanity it's insanity yeah you cannot do this to people i don't care i understand she her her friends suffered also i get it i get it i get it i get it there's a lot of lot of reasons to dislike this woman. There's a lot of reasons to dislike this woman. There's a lot of reasons to be angry. There's a lot of reasons to believe that we want action to be taken because something bad happened. But that doesn't mean that then we get to inflict that same kind of horror on somebody else. It just doesn't. I just don't believe that. And I'm not some believing heart liberal. I just have never believed in the death penalty. And I've thought about this. I agree. And, you know, I mean, it's one of those things where in the moment,
Starting point is 00:46:21 I would want that person to be dead. If that's what had just happened, they had just killed my sister or whatever. Yeah, my child or my wife or whatever. Right, no, you would want that. But I agree. I don't believe in that, a killing. Yeah, I don't either. I think, you know, just life in prison, life in solitary confinement, right?
Starting point is 00:46:42 You're basically dead anyway. What does it matter? But then no one has to press the button. I can't even imagine what it's like to be an actual excuse. Oh, God. Who has that job? Who thinks that's cool? Who does that? A sadist. It must be a sadist, right? Someone that likes to kill people and it doesn't want to go to jail for it, I suppose. I don't know. But I mean, I guess it's your job. It's your job. But do you apply for that job? How do you? How do you? I don't know. And is it like a doctor? Or is it just somebody shooting up a shot full of chemicals or whatever? I think that, well, I think this is actually how it goes. Is that they mix up the chemicals and then there are, are a couple of people who press a button. Okay. On an IV, it's just like the, if you get, you know, shot by death by firing range, five people,
Starting point is 00:47:32 five guns, all aimed at the head, only one has a real bullet. And no one knows what the real bullet is. No one actually knows, right? They randomly assign the guns. They randomly assign the bullets, and that's how it works. But I think that's what happens is that, you know, you, you know, like a couple people press the button. Okay. So no one really knows. Who did it? Yeah. So there's no. And I think, I believe that's how it works. I don't really know. But again, how do you get that job?
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah. Like maybe. Yeah, who's doing it? Maybe you just killed the money. It's like you volunteer. Do you win the lottery? You did a good job at work. Employee the month? I'm not really sure. I don't know. I don't mean to laugh about it. But it seems like a weird position to put another human being in. If I'm being super frank about it, I would be out. I'd be like, I quit. I'm not doing that. Fuck that shit. But, you know, then there are people in the room that are watching this, because there's always press that's watching this. And they all are starting to describe what happened, and it's not pretty, you know?
Starting point is 00:48:26 She was still alert and talking after the first shot, and she was explaining that her arm felt like it was on fire. And then they gave her the second shot some period of time later, and then she closed her eyes, but they could still see she was breathing and she was making noises, right? And she was like, you're moaning or whatever. Just terrible, terrible. It really is.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And then no one knows how she is right now, like not even her attorney. Her attorney is like, yeah, she's in critical condition, but I haven't heard anything besides that. Where is she? What's going on? It's fucked up. It's like that guy who got shot by ice and they took him straight to the holding cell and let him sit on the floor while he's bleeding out his back. I mean, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:49:05 What in the fuck? Honestly, what in the fuck are we doing? I know. Like, we're all humans. Yeah. But I don't know. There's this weird, like, sadist energy that's like, do anything to anybody because we're better than you. It's a real terrible.
Starting point is 00:49:20 It's a terrible energy that goes around this country right now, really the world. But it's a terrible energy that goes around this country right now. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. I want to go back to the days when a disto island and being yacked out of my head and having to worry about hitting a guy with a golf ball. And just get to retirement age. Yeah. That's all you need to do.
Starting point is 00:49:39 That's right. I'm going to get to retirement age. Get on down to Margaritaville. I was telling people at the office. Did drugs when I was young, do them again when I'm old. Yeah. But I'm in this in between time. But I've got to be somewhat responsible.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Right. But, you know, whatever. Do you know who I met yesterday? Totally fanboid, totally fanboyed. I spent some time with yesterday in a meeting. Hamilton Morris. Do you know Hamilton Morris? Hamilton Morris, for those who know, if you, I, K, I went N-D-Y.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Hamilton Morris was on vice.com. Oh, okay. Vice magazine, vice.com. Love vice. Pharmacopia. Oh, that was that guy? That's Hamilton Morris. Oh, that was him.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I loved that show. It is one of the best television shows ever produced. He does all the drugs. He can make all the drugs. He's an actual chemist. Yeah, he's an actual chemist. That's right. Oh, I loved him.
Starting point is 00:50:30 He's an expert in pharmacology and in hallucinogens and in all things drugs. Yes. All things chemical alterations of your brain. All things. He's an expert. And he doesn't just feed you the nonsense that everything's bad. He doesn't just feed you the nonsense that everything's good. It gives you the straight shit.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And I was telling somebody the other day, I think if you had never done a drug, in your life and you watched all of Hamilton's stuff, which I may have at this point, watched all of his stuff. Yeah, I watched all of it. It was like two seasons or three seasons. It was three seasons. It was the most, according to him, it was the most popular show. Well, it flipped flat between him and another show. Most popular show that was ever on Vice, it's viewed, been viewed millions of times. And he's still out there. He's still making content. And is he? Yes, he is. I need to tune in. Yeah, you do. And now his stuff has been bought up by ITV in Europe and now they're rebroadcasting it. Love it.
Starting point is 00:51:21 If you had never done a drug in your life. He seemed like a nice guy, too. I'll tell you what. He is exactly what you see on camera. Yeah. Right? Which is kind of this odd, quiet. Kind of nerdy.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Kind of nerdy. Yeah. Very straightforward, very monotone voice, not a very excitable person. But he had some funny moments. Oh, man. But, yeah. Yeah. He was an enjoyable human being to talk to.
Starting point is 00:51:42 I really enjoyed talking to Hamilton Morris. And I was fanboying. I wanted to ask him for a picture, but Hamilton Morris is not the kind of person you just go, Hey, man. Can I give a picture? Right. And then put it on my Instagram. The hot ones with the hot ones.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Hey, I'm a big fan of all the drugs you've done and all the drugs I've done. And so I was thinking, says, we've done drugs, not together, but like at different times. We're drug lovers. We're drug lovers. You take a picture for me? And then I'm going to promote it on Instagram. Can I tag you? So I decided to play a call.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Of course, I had people in the office telling me to do the same. Like, hey. Right. Yeah. Because I'm like, oh, Hamilton's coming upstairs. Hamilton's coming upstairs. And one guy in the office is like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, he. He's not that guy.
Starting point is 00:52:31 He's not that guy. And I'm like, ah, that sucks. And he goes, actually, nobody famous is that guy. So just, Brian, just so that. But he was great. He was great. He was great. He regaled us with some stories.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And I shared with him my favorite moments from pharmacopoe. Just to let him know that I, I knew, you know, and he was like, uh-huh. I think, I remember one, one of the ones was the, when he did the frog. Oh, yeah, yeah, the Bufo. Is it Bufo? They would lick the frog or whatever. Oh, yeah, the Arizona.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Yeah, that was the one that stood out to me. Oh, yeah. But they were all great. They're all great. They're all great. And, you know, you can be rest assured if Hamilton's telling you about something, he's likely put his dad was like somebody. Errol Morris.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yes. His dad was Errol Morris, probably the most famous documentary filmmaker of our, of a lifetime. or ever. He did thin blue line. He did something about dangerous. I can't remember, but the guy was very famous. He was like the first,
Starting point is 00:53:26 like, gonzo documentary filmmaker. Like, just take the camera and let it unfold, get in the middle, don't be part of the story, just observe. And yeah,
Starting point is 00:53:34 so he comes from a long line of kind of filmmakers. Yeah. Or he comes from a filmmaker, not a long line, a filmmaker, long line of filmmakers. Like,
Starting point is 00:53:43 it was filmed eight, a hundred years ago. He comes from a long line, yeah, long line of filmmakers. And by long line, I mean one. Yeah, his dad. One link in the long line chain.
Starting point is 00:53:55 But his dad was, his dad was rather famous. And Hamilton is now famous in his own right. I mean, if you know, you know, this is one of those things. But there's a whole community of people. I think, you know, I can't get into details. But I share this. He said at one point, he goes, yeah, you know, my audience, they're really invested in drugs. I thought that was like the funniest thing.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Yeah. It wasn't meant to be a joke, but I was laughing on the inside. I was like, that's funny. He said, it's funny. He made a funny. Good old hand to the law. That's cool. Okay. Well, I'm going to look him back up and see what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Yeah, I mean, I'd love him to come on the show. But, you know, I don't know that we're important enough to have, you know, to have him on. But I don't know. Maybe we are. Maybe we're not. We'll see. He's been doing some stuff lately. By some stuff, I mean, like interviews and stuff with Andrew Callahan from Channel 5.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Oh, right. who we had on our show. Yes, we did. Who was great. I could see how those two would dwell. Yeah, for sure, for sure. And love Andrew, and I fully support what he's doing. You can go to C5.Now. C5.Now, he's buying movies or putting movies on a platform that no one else will show, like really gonzo type stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:08 And for $5.99, you can get access to it and watch the movies, and then the creators get paid and the stuff. So I paid the $5.99, just to support Andrew and what he's doing. I don't think he needs my money, but, you know, whatever. I love you, Andrew. I love you. He was a good interview. He was a good interview because he doesn't bullshit. He's like so straightforward.
Starting point is 00:55:27 He'll tell you anything. He told us everything. He did. I asked the questions and he didn't mitigate any of them answers. He just told us. HBO, yeah, they fucked me. You know, Vice Magazine, yeah, they fucked me. It's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:38 He was just as straightforward as it comes. So, good. All right, okay. Everyone's settled down. Brian's getting too excited about Hamilton. You are. You've parked up. I did. I love him. I love the guy. I just think he's great. I think he's like an honest broker of information around the world of drugs.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah. And he's working on a documentary. I think I could share this because some of it's out there. He's working on a documentary about gas station heroin, 70H. Oh. And he told me an interesting stat, told us an interesting stat, that I didn't know, but is the reason why we need Hamilton Morris in the world. gas station heroin is as strong if not stronger than heroin. Then why Brian 3,000? Why Ryan 3,000?
Starting point is 00:56:26 Put it on your dick, take a lick. Yow! Lethal injection indeed. Ah, ah. It's stronger than actual heroin? I don't even know about this gas station heroin. I don't want to know. But it does not cause respiratory depression like actual opiates do.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Okay. So it gives you all the feelings. It can get you just as addicted. You can have all the withdrawals, but it will not kill you no matter how much you take. Wow. And you cannot inject it. That's an accident, not on purpose. It's just uninjectable.
Starting point is 00:56:59 So it's by nature. It's just a little bit safer. And guess what? Nationwide overdoses have gone down as millions and millions and millions of these doses are being sold in gas stations all across the country. Yes. Well, that's good. That's good. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Right? That's good. Now, we don't like the addiction. and the withdrawal part and people, you know, lose money and houses and cars and families and all that stuff. That's not good. But it just might go to prove a little bit of a theory that if you put it in the gas station, rather than in some neighborhood where you're likely to get shot or you're likely to die because you don't know what's in it. Maybe it's just a little bit safer.
Starting point is 00:57:36 It's a little bit safer. I don't know. Draw the conclusion of what you will. That's not an actual clinical study, folks. That's just Hamilton Morris sharing a little bit of information, which I think is valuable information. that you will never hear from like, you know, WSPTV, Channel 2, 708, gas station heroin, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Regular heroin, good, good, good, good, good. All right, at the commercial break on Instagram, YouTube.com slash the commercial break for all the things. Just go there. Okay. All right, okay. All right, Chris, that's all I can do for now.
Starting point is 00:58:10 I think so. That I love you. And I love you. I'll say best to you. Best to you. And best to you out there in the podcast and streaming audience. Until now. Next time, Chrissy and I will say, we do say, and we must say.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Goodbye. Bye.
