I know you love listening to my podcast and thank you so much, but I do want you to check out the commercial break.

It's another great podcast with my friend Brian and Chrissy. They do it twice a week every week and they're good friends of the show. Brian's regular guest on crossing the streams, but definitely check them out and get them on your podcast rotation list. On this episode of the commercial break. But then one day, I was sitting in my father's office and he was watching Comedy Central and up popped a set from Norm McDonald. Where he did a joke, a very long joke

that he set up the premise was, you know, what if your neighbor for Halloween pretended to be an ax murderer, but then really went murdered everybody and then pulled off the mask as a joke, right? It was very macabre joke. Right. And I don't not sure how the audience got it, but I thought that delivery was so fucking funny.

He was very loud. And I laughed out loud, I'll never forget thinking to myself, like this is the moment when I think comedy or being funny is a, is a noble profession. I'm a Zumba dance instructor. and I'm an extreme cheap skate. Zumba dance instructor. Everybody's all into Zumba. It's fun.

Is that it? I've taken it. My Astrid's gonna do a few classes. Yeah, it's pretty fun. Yeah, and she's like at the gym, and then I'll go to the gym with her, and I'll work out. I mean, when we actually had time to work out. But she was behind the glass and doing the whole Zumba thing, and she said, you should come in and join me.

There's like, there's other guys. I saw those other guys. Oh, sorry, thank you. Did you want to try some of those? No, that's okay. Are you sure? Yeah, there's a little off there. I mean, is it one rib?

Did he say it, he would have tried. Did you want to try? Nice. Something in. I love the bone for you, do you want it? It's the best part. There's no love there. The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

Another episode of the commercial break. Good day to you. Best of you, Chrissy Hosey. Best of you, Brian Green. Best of you out there on the podcast universe. I hope everyone is doing well. Welcome to another episode of the commercial break. I start on kind of a somber note today because just some time ago, I mean, depending on when this runs, but we're just learning about Norm McDonald's and his, the end of his

fight, I guess a long fight With cancer. Yeah, it's sad when I was a young man Comedy central rolled out and comedy central probably back in like the very late 80s comedy central was a channel and Just kind of popped on our cables, you know our basic cable package. They only ran And just kind of popped on our cables, you know, our basic cable package. They only ran stand-up acts. They did, that's right. Three or four minute bits from stand-up acts over and over again, from like the comedy store and the punchline.

And wherever, I mean, these recorded sets that these comedians were doing. They weren't doing specials. It wasn't from Dave Letterman. It wasn't any of that shit. It was just literally three or four minutes of a comic like a music video like MTV played music videos And I'm sure that was the concept that was pitched at first at least is you know MTV for Comedience we're gonna put these little three or four minutes that sets together It would say the name at the bottom where they were where it had been recorded

Went and had been recorded and then on to the next one and then on to the next one 24 hours a day seven days a week for many, many months on end. If not a year, I don't know for however. But when it came on at first, I would tune in every once in a while between watching MTV is very young, like maybe 12 years old. I would tune in every once in a blue moon.

But then one day, I was sitting in my father's office and he was watching Comedy Central and up popped a set from Norm McDonald. Where he did a joke, a very long joke that he set up the premise was, what if your neighbor for Halloween pretended to be an ax murderer, but then really went and murdered everybody

and then pulled off the mask as a joke, right? It was a very macabre joke. Right. And I don't not sure how the audience got it, but I thought that delivery was so fucking funny. And I laughed out loud, I'll never forget, thinking to myself, like this is the moment when I think comedy or being funny

is a noble profession. Is this guy made me laugh out loud, like really tickled me with this particular very, like weird and dark joke and the way that he delivered it. And of course, we all remember him from Saturday Night Live, the best weekend update pod. The best weekend update or that had ever lived.

The thing with Norm is though he had many television shows, no one ever really knew what to do with him. So all the television shows, while he was super funny, they were always canceled, none of the audience got it, right? He ended up being the best talk show guest that ever lived for sure without a doubt. Anytime he was on a talk show, I wanted to see it because he was just going to be so fucking funny.

Yeah, he's so witty, quick. Yeah, I think he will be one of those. But deadpan, kind of, so yeah. So deadpan. And what else I liked about Norm was he laughed at himself. Every joke that he told, he giggled under his breath a little bit You know, he'd tell a joke and maybe like He was laughing at himself. He was laughing

I think the trend nowadays with some comedians is they laugh at you, right? They're smarter than you are they tell the joke and and they're funny because they're more intelligent than the crowd Norm was never like that. I think he they're more intelligent than the crowd. Norm was never like that. I think he understood that some of his stuff was weird and he giggled because he knew it was funny and he was just waiting for you to catch up with it, right? So he was laughing with you and not at you.

And I always like that Norm didn't take himself too seriously. I think Norm is probably will go down as one of those people who was not recognized in his time enough. He should have been way more popular than he ever was. Now that he's passed away, everybody's coming out of the woodwork and talking about what a genius he was, but I didn't see a lot of those people saying the same thing

when he was alive. And I mean, not that they should have. I mean, I'm not trying to, you know, I'm not trying to, I don't know, I'm trying to, to pour gasoline on a fire. I'm just saying that I think Norm was so underrated, I think he's one of the best comedians that ever lived.

I think he will be remembered as one of the best comedians that ever lived. He is a true original. Like there is no one else out there like him, RIP, Norm, McDowell. Absolutely. And he will be sorely missed. And yeah, that's all I gotta say.

Well, I was watching, I was to say one more thing, I was watching the last time he was on David Letterman, which was like the last week of Letterman. And I had never seen Norm ever get emotional about anything. He was always very goofy and silly. And he was never really emotional. Like I never seem to cry or anything. Nothing, he would, he's a stand up comic.

Why would you see him cry? Right. But when he was saying goodbye to Dave, when he at the very end of his set, he talked about how when he's 13 years old, he saw Dave do stand up. And he found just like I'm saying about Norm, he said about Dave, I was 12 years old, I saw this joke and I remember thinking that is the funniest thing I've ever heard. And it made me want to be a comic, right? And when as he was telling this story, he started to cry. He got very choked up. And, uh, you know, I don't know. It's just sad. It's really sad. And to fight cancer for 10 years without telling anybody, it's a pretty noble thing to do. I know. Oh my God. Yeah, I guess he didn't want to make it a big deal. He didn't want people to get stressed about it. Yeah. I'm not sure even the people who were closest to him knew. Apparently, they didn't, because

they're all like, wow, I had no idea that Norm was fighting cancer for 10 years. Fuck cancer. And onward and upward, Norm, you will certainly be remembered by me here and us here at the commercial break. Hey guys, I wanted to let you know that this episode is sponsored in part by DBS Alliance. I've told a lot of stories about when I was younger, I worked in the restaurant industry for many years. The restaurant industry is full of characters and oftentimes can be rough around the edges

when it comes to drugs and alcohol, which can take its toll on your mental health. But it's also a place where there's a lot of love, and oftentimes a restaurant crew can be considered your second family because you spend so much time there. That's exactly what happened with a dear friend of mine that passed away just about a decade ago from suicide. He actually jumped off of a building and I kept thinking to myself and I keep thinking to myself if I just had had the opportunity to sit down with this young man and have one more conversation I know for a fact that I could have talked him out of jumping off that building. We were that close. DBS Alliance is trying to bring awareness to this fact.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US amongst all age groups. It's estimated that one in five Americans may deal with mental illness problem, and about 20.9 million Americans have a mood disorder. Depression and bipolar support alliance provides free support groups, wellness tools, and inspirational stories to guide you on your path to holistic mental health wellness. My friend is not alone. On average, there are 130 suicides a day. Think about that, 130 people, and it's probably more during the pandemic.

Middle-aged and older adults have a higher rate of suicide than adolescents and young adults, but it's a problem amongst all age groups and growing amongst younger children. Women are 1.4 times more likely to attempt suicide and men are 3.6 times more likely to die by suicide. So, how can we help? Well, there's a couple things that we can do. First of all, if you think something is off with one of your friends or family members, reach out and say something.

If you feel like something is off with yourself, reach out and say something. And reach out to learn more about how you can start conversations about mental health and suicide in your community by visiting dbsaliance.org slash suicide-prevention. That again, dbsaliance.org slash suicide-prevention. I know a lot of us out there feel the same way. If we had just had one more opportunity to talk to that person, we might have saved our lives. This is your opportunity to start that conversation.

where we say, in a year what's gonna be going on? We'll give ourselves, yeah, we'll give our guesses. We'll talk about what's gonna be going on in politics, what's gonna be going on in politics. What's gonna be going on in, you know, pop culture, world affairs, technology. Yes. What else? Sex with dolls.

Let's look at it. What's that game? Or you choose the category, it's not life, but trivial pursuit. trivial pursuit. We'll just go with those calories. Okay, that's not a bad idea. I like that idea.

So I was gonna to say speaking of time capsule, my wife was up there cleaning out the attic with my with my brother-in-law. And there's just a bunch of shit up there. We've traveled from one house to the other. That traveled with me from like my teenage age all the way to here. And stuff that I never looked at. Oh my god. I didn't want to throw away. I just recently had to do that for my dad's house. And it was, you're looking at stuff from when you were 17. I know. Which I'm guessing you just did.

I came across gold. Oh, for the TCB crowd. Let me tell you what I found. I found hours and I mean hundreds of tapes, the blank cassettes. Yeah. Of me playing guitar and singing into the cassette tape recorder. Just you, just you want a guitar? Me, me and this guy, me and that girl, me and this person.

Many of these are drug-induced and I, so I know when my voice is like three octaves higher that it's me on cocaine and I know when I'm slurring it's me hammered and then there's times I'm sure, you know, like I'm a wisdom teeth out. I'm probably all, uh,, bike down or something like that. That was not lyric. Hey, we should play this game when we were, like, just high as shit, we would play this game where it would be, I do a lyric, you do a lyric, right?

I'll start playing guitar and I do a lyric, you do a lyric, we write it down and we'll make a song. Yeah. And one of my houses, we had a white board. We like, lift me in this guy named Dave, we, we lived in the screened in porch of a one bedroom apartment. Really? Dave and I did.

Oh, we shared a bedroom. We shared a bedroom. We shared a porch. I was on the floor. He had a little cot, like a military cot. And then inside the house, we were like, when you open the screen door to go, so old, rain, snow, whatever, we lived through it. And then inside the house we were like when you open the screen door to go so

Old rain snow whatever we lived through it. We slept there on that floor No matter what happens so some nights were freezing fucking cold Some nights you basically had to sleep in the nude and fan your nuts off I mean it was so hot when you walked in the screen door or or and when you the entrance of the screen porch was this tiny little kitchen at Right, and then we put a big whiteboard up there and we used to write lyrics to songs on the right whiteboard or in the entrance to the screen porch was this tiny little kitchenette, right? And then we put a big whiteboard up there. And we used to write lyrics to songs on the whiteboard when we were so snowed out, we didn't even know what the fuck was going on.

And I found some of those tapes, those things. This sounds like a great story for behind the music. Oh, it's behind the cocaine is what it is. Behind the cocaine. I am gonna be- How are you living on a board? Well, because cocaine. What prompted you to live on a screen porch?

Cocaine! It was a great idea. It came in one night. Cocaine! I don't know. I don't even know. This guy named Booty. His name was Booty. Booth. His name was Booth. I don't want to give his first name away but we called him booty like he was oh it was a big old Texas boy and he just was like who's those two fucking rats even in my he didn't care as long as we paid him the hundred dollars a month or whatever yeah it was it was it was crazy

that I got in place it It's my porch. It's my porch. There's a roof for two. It's been to the screened in forage. We were so obnoxious. We'd be up all night long playing guitar, snorting lines and drinking Bud lights. There'd be Bud light cans all over the place. I mean, we're like 21 years old. There's no responsibility in us whatsoever.

And this guy actually had a fiance at one time. He moved here at one time. At one time. That's right. He would go over to her house all the time. That's why I think why we didn't get bothered. Then there was another guy who lived in the apartment too, but he also had a bad drinking problem.

And he slept at the bar some nights. We opened and closed the bar. So listen to this. So the guy they see Thomas forget about pets they've got you guys and people would like go out to the woods to walk their dogs and we'd be out there fucking guitar and fartingasing office came to him, and he had taken it from Texas,

and it had been there for like nine months, and it was this old Toyota truck, like one of the dinky little Toyota trucks, you know, I'm taller than the Toyota truck, right? Just a horrible piece of shit truck, but I did not have a car. And more. So it was grand.

Nor did I have a license, but at least not one that I had like on my person. I had lost it many years earlier. So the leasing office comes one day and then you know that I can hear them talking you know booties kind of getting all riled up and he's like fine I'll get you know whatever comes back and he's like I get to get I got to get rid of the fucking truck with the blue tarp you know neighbors are complaining and I'm like I'll take it and he's like you'll buy it and complaining. And I'm like, I'll take it. And he's like, you'll buy it. And I was like, I'll buy it. And he goes, how much you buy it for?

And I was like, 200? And he's like, 300 and you got a deal. I bought a Toyota truck for $300. Okay. So we go outside the next day and we take off the tarp and it's a piece of shit. And it's got mold all over it. And the seats are coming off.

And there's not even, the radio doesn't work. So I have to put like a boom box in there so I can play my cassettes. And it's a stick shift, which I barely know how to drive. So, he goes, Brian, I took this from Texas nine months ago, and the three years previous to that, it had been on a farm, and I never once got an oil change in it. Never once changed the oil.

You must change the oil. First thing you should do, change the oil. Go get the oil changed. Six weeks later, I am driving down the highway and I literally put a rod through the roof of the hood of the car. Boink, a rod came up through it because the engine seized up and the rod broke

that whatever and the thing broke, that whatever. Boink. And I was just like, you should, it was the most awful noise I've ever heard. Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, and I managed to roll up one of the exits and I find a pay phone and I call and I'm like, you know, I'm like, hey man, I'm not paying for this car

because I hadn't given them the money yet. I'm like, I'm not paying for this car, just broke. And he's like, did you get an oil change? And I'm like, I was gonna do that today. Yeah, it's on my way. I was on my way. He's like, it's nine o'clock at night. I was like, but I was on my way back

from the drug dealer's house. Poor booty, he suffered us fools. And I mean, just, wow. What am I gonna say? I was 21 years old and we're, we're all, none of us are proud of our past. And some of us aren't proud of our present, but I try.

I have been digging deep in the anals of the internet. As you do. As I do. And I wanted to bring attention to something that I think is kind of like a, I know it may be a disturbing thing that's going on out there in the world. You know there's these like extreme coup honours, right?

Okay, we'll get to that in a future episode. But there are people who take it a step further. They call themselves extreme cheap skates. Okay. And what they do is they try and save a penny every single place that they go or pick up a penny, every single place that they go. Okay.

They will do things like never use electricity, except when they have to walk in the hallway at night, they might flip on the light for like five seconds just to see where they're going. Right, they never use the air conditioning. They've sold their air conditioning unit to someone else, or they dumpster dive for everything that they eat or they take home.

They ask other people if they're eating, you know, you go to like the food court at the mall and you're done with your food and you have a couple bites of your cheeseburger left and they come over and they go, are you done with that cheeseburger? And then you say yes and they take it from you, right? They're like, okay, can I have that? I guess. I'm just going to throw it away. These people do crazy things to save a dollar, crazy things. I think it's kind of disturbing, but some people just live like this. This is, you know, they're... Yeah, it's a fine line, I think, you know, because I do, I like to turn off the lights when

I leave a room. I like to, you know, generally be good for you. Thanks, Thanos. Go for Thanos. I don't even think we'd run that episode yet. Which is probably confusing you guys, but there's an episode where we call the Thanos, and this is Thanos. Good for you. Thanks, Thanos. We appreciate it. Okay.

Yeah, I mean, I can understand turning off the lights when you're in the house. Yeah, it can be coming up session, then I could see how it would be. Like my dad when I was a kid. I know it. Yeah. Oh, like we'd be all day. Because I do, I get mad about that too, like in our refrigerator, Jeff, the Jeff and the kids, they want bananas. Every time I go to the grocery store and I get the bananas and the bananas go brown,

I'm not getting the bananas anymore, guys. Jeff, you're listening. Not getting the bananas anymore. You don't eat them and I hate throwing away food. So I can kind of see where it can go. Take it to set up too far. Yeah, I think so. I agree with you.

I remember when I was a kid, my dad bordered on this because he wouldn't turn on the air conditioning. He turned on what was called the whole house fan. The fan. Which is the fan in the ceiling. I ever had fans. That would just suck in air from the, and it would suck in 90s.

Yeah, central fan, we called it a whole house fan. And it would just suck in, I remember, we would go to the lake. It would like sweating. I know. But there's a breeze, but you're sweating. So what ended up happening is everybody and got a fan in the room.

We had the whole house fan, and then everyone had one of those little box fans that sat on the floor in their room, and we all end up laying in front of them, you know, during the middle of the night, because it was just so hard. I know when my dad would think this whole house fan was just like the cat's dick.

I mean, he was just like, he was so impressed with himself that he didn't use the air conditioning. And I love my dad. Another thing that commonly happened is we'd all get in the car. He is enjoying a nice retirement right now, isn't he? He's a minute. He's the air conditioning and I love my dad. Another thing that commonly happened is we'd all get in the car. He is enjoying a nice retirement right now, isn't he? He's a minute.

He's a minute. He's got lots of money. I, on the other hand, not a minute. And I've got seven lights going on in the studio for a show that no one watches. So he, one of the things that would happen frequently, we all pack in the car to go somewhere, and my dad would not be in the car because he would be running around the house

making sure that every electrical thing was unplugged or turned off. And then we get home and we have to go around plugging everything back in and turning on the lights. I guess with four boys, you have to watch your pennies, but these people take it to the extreme extreme. And so I've got a couple of examples of that. If you'd like to listen,

and you know what I'm saying, if you'd like to listen, I'm gonna play it anyway. Thank you, I have a choice. You're here. That's the whole point of the fucking show, Brian. I like that you get my buy-in. Yeah, it's good to get my buy. I want to make sure that we have.

It might be a time I say, uh-uh, that's a, I have said it about a couple things. Yeah, there's a couple things, but I agreed with you on those because then we got into it. We were like, and this is weird. There's a couple episodes that you all will never hear because when I recorded the bit, when I started thinking about the episode, I put it together, it was funny in my mind, but as it started to play out, it was just either borderline creepy, racist or just ended

up being something that just didn't play well or that we didn't agree with. We were like, okay, that's enough of that. But cheapskate, I think we didn't all agree on. No, we can make it fun. Yeah, we were both like, you can do anything like that. The ASMR video was almost like that. The little 11 year old who was going to knock people out and take a picture of them.

Oh my god, go back and listen a picture of them. Oh my God. Go back and listen to the ASMR video. That is really, really strange. That being said, we're going to start our own channel or on ASMR video. We're going to have our own ASMR. There's going to be... We're going to have a video. There are going to be compartmentiums to our actual episodes.

So we might do an ASMR video episode about ASMR. We also might append that with an actual ASMR video or we might listen to Bigfoot Hunters. We also may go out and change and try to with rides back yard. That's right. That's what the telling word is. We're gonna be on secret location.

All right, this is in the Cheapskates. We'll get into it and here we go. I don't know what this is, but cheap, cheap skates. We'll get into it. And here we go. I don't know what this is, but it's a cheap skate. I love the happy music that comes along with this. My name's Greg Enscot. I'm 29 years old. I've lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, all my life.

I'm a Zumba dance instructor, and I'm an extreme cheap skate. Zumba dance instructor. Everybody's all into Zumba. It's fun. I've taken it. My Astrid's gonna do a few classes. Yeah, it's pretty fun. Yeah, and she's like at the gym and then I'll go to the gym

with her and I'll work out. I mean, one we actually had time to work out. But she was behind the glass and doing the whole Zumba thing and she said, you should come in and join me. There's like, other guys. I saw those other guys. I think I tried to get Jeff and Joey to.

And he's like, now I was like, I do not have a unit or. I do not have a skin type unit or I know one guy literally was wearing a skin type unit art. It was like 70. His ball each ball. One ball was on each side of his leg And then his dick was just like breathing straight out you know what I'm saying like there's little small dicks are just kind of like No, it looks like a little button. Yeah, it's like a button you push

Push here for fun What's Zumba what's Zumba I't know, push my button and find out. Anyway. I'll do a clinical study anytime I can, those pay really good money. I really want to buy this low rider and I had to get $3,500 somehow. I got really lucky.

The clinical study that I found online was paying the same amount. I had to put, oh wait, man, my butt, but I got a car out of it. Uh-huh. Nothing like our Zoom-Answer to roll in up in a low rider. Nothing like your Zoom-Answer to struck or having oily stuff leak out of his leotard

while your Zoom-Answer is struck, dang. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, man, you got some discharge there. Yeah. That's just a clinical study. I mean, don't worry about that. It smells pretty bad. I think there's blood a clinical study. I mean, don't worry about that. It smells pretty bad. I think there's blood in there somewhere. You might want to check that out.

That's a clinical study. Hey, man, there's literally a whole burning in your leotard right now. I have a clinical study. That's just where we inject herpes directly in our assholes. Yeah, this is the story of it. We're so grateful. We're so grateful. Yeah, it's for the safety.

Good of all human kind. That's why they were paying 35 cents. That's right. I can't sit or shit anymore. I have to shit out of his bag. But man, I got my car. I got my low rider. Yes, you did. So it was well worth it. I have to shit out of his back, but man, I got my car. I got my low rider.

Yes, you did. So, it was well worth it. I'll do anything to make a fuck. You just use the window squeegees? Have you heard of old-nie fans? And you can really wash your whole car with it. I don't know who would spend money on a car wash when you can wash it yourself right here.

So, if you can't get the visual there, but what he did was he pulled up to the gas station and had the squeegees with the water that's like, you know, half trucker piss. I'm just using that to have him do it as low rider. He was washing his letter-eye with the squeegees. Only under the most brutal of circumstances do I ever pull out that wall? Well, I know it's dirty. I worked at the gas station and never once in my one year of working at the gas station

did anybody ever change or ask me to change that one. Yeah, now. Ever. It just happened to be there all the time. It's like people were pissing in it or something, I'm not sure. Hi, welcome to my condo.

I got pretty lucky. One of the ladies from Zumba said, Hey, my grandpa just passed away if you want to live in our condo for free. In return. It's booty. It's booty's mom. You got the floor greened in boards.

This is spaces of boards. I'm supposed to move her lawn, but you know, you can't beat free rent. I agree with that. That I agree with. This is all from when the guy passed away. He left it all here. I didn't have any furniture.

It worked out nice. These are my roommates. You got Raj and Kevin here. Wait, he's living with a grandma. What a brooch. What a brooch. What up Kevin? This is my roommate, Brian.

How's it going in a dead grandma's house? These are my roommates from the screened in porch, Dave and Brian. What's up, guys? Cocaine. That's what's up. With all that money we spent on cocaine, we probably could have been living in a really nice. Oh, yeah, with both with central AC and walls.

When it rained, everything got wet. I just want to let you know that. Dave's bed would just be so good like his coverage would just be so. But he wouldn't care. He'd be like, it'll dry out in the morning. Yeah, that would be. He'd be out there with a hair dryer. It's painful bringing women back to the apartment because furniture is everything. It's embarrassing. This place definitely smells like old people. I don't know how much great it pays for the apartment, but I do know that Kevin and I pay a pretty fair amount. It's a large three bedroom pot. Oh, he's making money on something for him.

He's getting for free. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's not a their business what he's paying for, but at the end of the day, they're gonna see this video and be like, Hey, hey, first of all, we want walls. Hey, Kev, we watched your TLC episode. We were really impressed with how much money you've saved. We want out of the screened in porch. We want walls. We want out of the screened in porch into the kitchenette area. That's what it did in the real cold winter months.

This ended up sleeping under the kitchen at. So I knew I'd be able to take my roommates with me and charge them rent even though I'm a little free. This is the kitchen. All right, where to begin? There's no point in paying for anything that you should get. I agree. I agree. I agree.

For free in life. I never spend money on condiments. Anytime you go to a restaurant, just take extra when you're there. No, okay. All right, good fun. A lot of people do that. I have a bunch of Chick-fil-A barbecue sauce.

Yeah, I do too. Yeah. I would never pay for paper plates or any kind of plate really. You got lucky, I got these from my nephew's birthday party. To save money on cups, I got these from my nephew's birthday party. To save money on cups, I actually reuse yogurt cups. I got this from my grandma.

This way they're all labeled, everybody knows who's cups who's, but if we get a guess, I actually give them the yogurt cups. I'm trying to picture because we like little chabonis. Yeah, the little yogurt, the little like. And then there's also the yo-play, which are taller. So is he going with the taller ones? And now I think I don't know. They have a lip on them. I didn't watch. Yeah, they have yogurt, the little like. And then there's also the yo-play, which are taller. So is he going with the taller ones? And now I think I don't know. They have a lip on them.

I didn't watch. Yeah, they have a lip on them. Well, I mean, that's so you don't spill on yourself. Oh my god. Oh my god. But you have a guest come over. They're like, hey, you know, can I get a slice of that cake? Yeah.

No problem. Got it out of the dumpster. If you go ahead and get yourself a Spider-Man styrofoam plate from the dishwasher, grab yourself a yo-plank, go ahead and grab yourself a gogurt, fill it up with soda, that I got by collecting old sodas from the street and boring them together. I spit in it for fizz. I spit it for fizz. Big cup, so it makes them feel special.

I don't put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher weighs way too much money on electric and water, so I just hand wash them in the sink. That actually is a myth. It actually is not. You use a lot more water washing dishes yourself. Yes, I know this for a fact, because I convinced my wife that was true.

Ball inside a refrigerator. I took the bulb out of the refrigerator. It stays me almost $40 a year in electric. $40 a year. That's your $40 worth of work. I assume I see what I'm grabbing in the middle of the night. How do you hear? Okay. I'm pretty a year. Okay. Hmm. Yeah. Hi.

This cake tastes like broccoli, but I'm gonna go with it. I don't know what the fuck I got in my hand. This is my closet. When I go shopping, I always leave the tags on the shirt because you never know if it's gonna go out of style. So always keep the tags and you can just return them later. I paid for them, it's not stealing if you pay for it.

I'm living the dream. Wait, yeah. yeah, it's stealing if you use it and then Come on man I have heard a lot of people doing this I have dated women practice. No, it's not good practice. I have dated women who do this they take a Outfit for the night and then they take it back the next day. And it's like, mmm, it's a little shitty. I mean, I get it, I get it, but it's a little shitty. Wait, he's talking about wearing a stuff

so it goes out of style. Oh my god. I mean, look, it goes out. How long does it take for something to go out of style? That's a year. I'm still wearing my quick silver shirt from 1987. How about this one? I was 12. As soon as I'm done wearing my quick silver shirt from 1987. How about this one? I was 12.

As soon as I'm done living the dream, I just return it. Living the dream. Biggest money saver in the whole condo is right here in the bathroom. Great things that he lives a pretty normal life and most other people would probably think so too until they get to know him. He takes showers with his clothes on. Why? Why washing my clothes and wait, what?

Why? How do you get yourself clean by taking? It's, that doesn't even seem like it's saving money. Nope. There's time, there's time that's involved in it. And like, what? It's story time, you wanna hear a story? Is he washing it with tide?

Yeah, no. It's washing it with a bar soap. So, I mean bar soap can get your clothes clean. We've all done that number. I stayed in Costa Rica for three, one, two, and a time. I bar soap. Yeah, no. It was the bar soap. I mean, bar soap can get your clothes clean. We've all done that. Number I stayed in Costa Rica for three, once, one time. I bar soap cleaned my, my same underwear, night after night. You want to hear a story? Yeah.

So one time I was in my, maybe it's my late teens and there was, I was working in a restaurant. There was a girl who was kind of religious, right? I mean, that's, I don't know what kind of religion she was in matter. She was kind of religious, meaning she was a girl who was kind of religious, right? I mean, that's, and I don't know what kind of religion she was in matter. She was kind of religious, meaning she was a bit straight-laced. We all went to an after party after one night after a shift and it was someone's birthday and then we went to someone's house.

Everyone's party and everyone's drinking and everyone's having a good time. So you're born? Yeah. This wasn't my house, this is someone else's house. So even this girl, let's call her, I don't know, let's call her Betty, even Betty was getting drunk, right? She was a very attractive young lady.

And after a while, she starts getting kind of flirty and handsy, right? And so we decide at the end of the night that we are gonna go back to her apartment. We go back to her apartment and she goes to take a shower. And I hear from the shower, now everyone's pretty drunk at this point, I hear from the shower, why don't you come join me in the shower?

And I was like, oh, I don't mind if I do, thank you very much. Yeah. I go into the shower, into the bathroom, and there's one of these curtains, right? And so I get naked, thinking like I get naked, probably already at a half-masked, ready to go. Right. And I smooom back the curtain and she is in a one-piece bathing suit taking a shower. She was like, what are you doing? And I was like, you've said get the shower. And she's like, oh, I, you know,

I'm like, what are you doing? Is the question, what are we doing? Like, I can do it in here. This is the unsexyest thing that's ever happened to me. The bathing suit never came off. I'm just gonna let you know that. The shower with me, I'm saving at least $15 a month because I don't have to use a washer, a dryer, soap.

When I take a shower, I keep a bucket in there and it catches all the excess water from me. At the end of the week, I wash the toilet. I take that water and pour it directly into the toilet and that's what causes the toilet to flush. Where does the shit go until then? Oh, man, that's gross. Gearco-rose.

I can't stand it shit. We are having this whole conversation in the car the other day about farting, like the types of farts and whatever, right? Just this whole conversation between adults about farts. It's good adults. And someone made this suggestion, you should do a show about this. And I said, I would if I didn't think I would gag the entire time. Like, I just don't like that, I don't like that conversation.

It's not my favorite. No. That way, I'm not wasting any water. Oh my God, dude. I'm going on free internet dating sites. But I'm far the best part about online dating, because you don't have to spend money on dinner and drinks and wasting gas all in places meeting people just get online and it's free. This girl's kind of hot. How do you get late?

It tastes just the same. It's not as filling, but it tastes the same. Your mind doesn't know the difference. Hey, Brandy, you want one of these old bones? Cheers. I picked them out of the garbage on the way in. I'm gonna hold basket of bones. Look, there's some moose knuckle right there. I'll take a basket of bones. Side of ice. I'll take a basket of bones, one potato. Don't worry about cooking it.

Do you mind if I wipe my ass with this tissue paper in the basket? I'll take a large water. What I don't drink, I'll flush my toilet with. I'll wash my nuts within.

Do you mind if I wash my ass all out of your sink? I don't even have to take my clothes off. I just literally scrub through my underwear. I'm gonna take one of these bones and stick it on my ass. It could be clean as a whistle, both the bone and my ass. And so I eat. I eat it only. So that I don't shit. It goes the other direction

Do you know why you mind to see No work for me. Would you mind feeding my aides? No, it's not for me. Would you mind feeding my A to say? It saves on digestion costs.

It's just a long used trick by editors and what they do is they put the music under, promoting you to feel a certain way. So you know, when something funny is about to happen, they play the funny music, when

they're playing, they're at the blues place. Ready? I'm just going to take the pooled pork sandwich. Hi, it's pretty popular for you here, right? It's very good. Is that pretty good size? The pooled pork sandwich. It's a nice portion.

I mean I mean I might be hamming it up for the cameras. I understand. Yeah. But this is a little much. I don't like the waste food. Are you gonna eat the food? Oh yeah, absolutely. Alright, perfect. All that. But you can never have too much barbecue sauce.

I agree with that. No, don't forget your to cook that. Yeah. Greg is a very sweet guy, funny, little cheap but nice guy overall. Thank you for taking me out. I want to grow like me for me. I'm a sweet guy, funny, little cheap, but nice guy overall. Thank you for taking me out. I want to grow like me for me. Well, I had a lot of fun tonight.

Would you want to go out again sometime? Yeah, I did. I had a good time. Thank you. Even though he's a little cheap, I could look past that and definitely, he's a really sweet guy, so I would definitely go out and spray again. He ordered a rib! He ordered one rib, girl! There must be no single minute since an adi.

I got a dog. Fuck is going on a little hard. You ordered one rib. One goddamn rib woman. That's what he ordered. He ordered one goddamn rib. They'd have your plate. They'd have your plate.

Yeah. If somebody doesn't like you for who you are, you shouldn't be with them. Why don't you bring your guard back? Well, yeah, you're an asshole, Greg. I said that, I don't think I like you. You ordered one rib, ate her meal, took her plate home, then asked her out on a second date.

You got some balls, kid. I don't know. You got some balls. Hey, that's a zoom, man. You want to listen to what's more? That's zoom a body. That's zoom a body. That's zoom a body.

I think there's a motor oil coming out of your asshole. And that's just the latest experiment they're doing on my butt. I got a car on it. I signed up for a 10 year series of anal probes, three a week. But I'm making thirty dollars a year That's thirty dollars you'll never see they are mr. Cranky band who's driving around the low-rider Oh driving around in the 1967 B.D. Blow Rider I do believe that laundry detergent does want to scam on people. I learn how to conserve my detergent by my method of work, drawing blood. The measurements are very precise.

Oh, this lady uses a syringe to measure her detergent. Oh, by using the amount that I put in. Not the worst thing. I mean, that's like a measurement measure on the top. That's true. I mean. Oh, by using the amount that I put in. Not the worst thing. I mean, that's like a museum of measuring cups. No, that's true. I mean. Oh, wait, there's another one that I wanted to play for you. Hold on, one second.

We play this. They use that home. We need the lights on all day and all night. So what I like to do is just tape it up. What I like to do is cut off their fingers. That way they can't turn on any lights. Right. Now, you know you break into rules. As Houston

residents, Marlon Thomas and his family face some of the highest electricity bills in the country. So to be. I'm a funny story. It's just that. That's it. That's it. Oh, that's a story. That's a funny. No, so we have our electric toothbrush, you know, the charger. Yeah, yeah. Plugged into the wall. Yeah. It's got the little white thing, and you know, you can put the thing on there. So anyways, I, we also have our sono speaker plugged into that same outlet. Oh, I never, I never unplugged.

And I also have to use that for my hair dryer, that same, all in the same outlet. So I will unplug the toothbrush thing to, you know, the toothbrush charger instead of the sonos because the sonos gets reset. Yeah. Whatever. So Jeff for the longest time, and sometimes I forget to plug it back in.

So Jeff for the longest time. Just putting his thing in there. No, no, one day he has. One day he goes, is there a reason why you're unplugging? The thing is that yeah, because sometimes I use my hair dryer and I forget to plug it back to him because I thought this was like a saving money. Your dad taught you. Yeah.

A young age. No, it's just an accident. The same thing I used to razor for my head. I've saved thousands of dollars. No, it's just an accident. But the same thing, I used a razor for my head. I've saved thousands of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars on haircuts. I've got you, man. I've just got a hundred dollar haircuts.

Yeah, I've been, it's crazy. I've been shaving my own heads since I was 15 years old. I've literally have not been to a barber since I was 15 years old. Yeah. Not even on my wedding day. So, so I have the, so I only have two plugs or only have two plugs. Right.

So I have my glasses cleaner, my little sonic carer lots of cleaners. I'm one of those by the way. Awesome, isn't it? I love it. Yeah. And then I have my little cup where you put your toothbrush and you're, you know, your sonic carer toothbrush.

Well, sometimes I unplug the sonic carer because I leave the toothbrush in the shower, right? And then I'll plug in my razor. I show my head twice a week. So sometimes, and this happens more than I would like to care to admit, sometimes I will literally leave the toothbrush there in the morning and then I'll come pick it up at night

when I go to take a shower. And then three days later, the thing will run out of battery and I'm like, what the fuck, I just charged it. And then I'll be, I'll realize many days later that I don't even have the thing fucking plug me I'm like I do that too Same thing. Well, how are you supposed to tell it's a fucking cup that you put it in looks gross It's like the worst of the bad habits. I used to hate that one the regular toothbrushes and you put it in the cup

And in the bottom of the cup and I'll sludge you and it's disgusting Clean it out putting the dishwasher cut. This husband and father of two sets strict rules on household energy use. My dad wants to save money just like anybody else, but he just goes to an extreme doing it. At nine o'clock, I shut down the breakers because these guys like to leave a TV on, the radio, the stereo, and by me shutting the breaker off,

I'm roughly saving about $100 a month on an electric bill. A round raise is a rule. I mean, they don't like it. They don't like it. I'm paying the bills around here, so, hey, it's 9 o'clock. Yeah, I can, you know. You know, I can agree with that.

Not the worst. Yeah, it's not the worst thing that you've ever, that's ever occurred. Time for the breaker to go off. I feel like I'm going crazy because I don't know anyone in America that is doing that. It's not the correct, it's an extreme penny pincher. It's kind of like fighting the cookie-moss for a cookie. Like, can I get a little bit?

By enforcing strict rules in his house, Marlon keeps utility costs to a minimum. But it's his job at the fire. Marlon keeps utility costs and his sex to a minimum. Yeah, yeah. Is that his wife or his daughter? It's his wife and his daughter of both talking. Where he finds real savings.

Marlon is the cheapest person that I've ever met in my life. He does a lot of stuff that I would do at home here at the station. He's a firefighter, by the way. The dishwasher is half empty again. I bring my own dishes Because this is just the waste Wildwash half a load when you can wash the floor. That's also a mess by the way

Yeah, you can have just like at least half of it and you're good. Yeah, it works out I don't understand where these people are getting this shit from So he brings his dishes from home to the fire station to wash. Can you imagine me bringing my dishes over to Clear Channel? Hey, that reminds me I'm over here doing Malone day. Hey, did you pull out a China plate? Did you get a 50th anniversary collectible Walt Disney World plate plastic? How did the this slide?

Did you get a Dick Tracy plate out of the... That was mine. That was mine. Tuesday, we have to clean out the refrigerator. So guys, the food in here all the time. So what I knew is that a buying dinner, I'll take this home. Oh. Yeah.

Am I just, is it just me? Or do you hate leftovers? Oh, no, I like leftovers. I hate leftovers. Okay. I won't eat them. I mean, I don't like the meal itself. I won't eat them.

I won't leave them over. I'll save them. Okay, fair enough. But if I like the meal, I will, yeah. In rare cases, I will eat leftovers, but I very rarely do. I don't know, something about it, it skips me out, like I can't do it.

I'm just like, eh, thanks anyway. It takes better the second day. Yeah, I can get that, like some soups and stuff like that, tastes better the second day, yeah, sauces. It's spaghetti, you can stuff. Yeah, you know, stark stir fry or something like that. I just, I don't know. I love some good cold stir fry.

Pizza, I cannot eat after it's been cold. I won't even know. No, no, no, no, no, no. I think that's disgusting. You people are crazed. Cold pizza is gross. Oh, one more day. It's good.

I don't clean out the refrigerator. People gonna let perfectly good food go to waste. Wow, that's not what you decide. Taste better than that. By stockpiling free firehouse leftovers, food go to waste. Wow, that's not what you need to say. By stockpiling free firehouse leftovers, Marlon saves over $400 a month. I do not like to eat leftovers from the fire station. I love them. I love them.

Get yourself a glass of water from the bird fountain. This one's going to be a little rough going down, but it is delicious coming out. Don't worry about it, girls. We just have leftovers and leftovers and who lives off leftovers. I guess Marlin does. Yeah. When you say $400 a month on groceries and there's only three people living in the house,

you are literally eating everything that everybody else is left over. That is fucking disgusting. That's bad bad. I couldn't do that. Oh, absolutely. If I would, I'd go to McDonald's every chance I got with if this was my parent.

For sure. Okay, I see that we're running out of time. We've got more of this and I would like I'd go to McDonald's every chance I got if this was my parent. For sure.
