It's 910 on a Saturday morning and it's time to start Crabapple's
longest running high society and gossip show,
The Crab Gab.
I'm your tiara tart, Jocelyn Winglebag.
Crabapple, quite in a stir this week.
As for the first time in our 267 year history
as a township, we will be welcoming Royals.
That's right, those of us lucky enough to be invited to the High Society event
Little Miss 30-something Crabapple will be in the presence of royalty. Those who are in the know already
understand who's coming, but for those of us just a little bit outside the social circles, you've got me to spill the tea.
Later on this week, we'll be welcoming Gwynifred Serradania, a Spanish countess with a bloodline
going back all the way to year 878, when her great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather,
Willifred the Hairy, ruled over a 12-square-mile area in the south of Spain.
Winifred lives a life that most of us only dream of. High fashion, fast cars, and Spanish men.
She lives on the second floor of a two-story building,
taking up almost 700 square feet.
Of a 1,400 square foot apartment,
she shares with her roommate.
I can imagine the nights they have now,
sitting alone, drinking Spanish wine,
watching Love Island, and being pampered on
by one, if not two, servants.
Her relative Willifred the Hairy was known as a great ruler, who would often chop people's
heads off if he found them to be criminal or wearing things he didn't like.
That's my kind of royal.
What might you ask is Winifred up to?
Well, I had a chance to troll her social media earlier this week, and while there's no evidence
she's chopping anybody's heads off, she is on to the latest and greatest
investment craze la boo boo let's take a listen to a little clip I found so
you're famous and magnificent yes I am so many people have commented syfm on my
videos and that's what it means so you're famous and
magnificent and yes I am I have had to go and get bigger eyelashes because
every single time I go out there's so much paparazzi that I needed something
to just help cover my eyes so I don't get blinded by all the paparazzi taking
photos of me thank you so much for
realizing I'm so famous and magnificent. So all my beautiful fans saying this to
me, I love you all and I can't wait to see you at my meet and greets. And
remember for my little trials that keep saying that my 24 karat gold la boo boo
is fake, make sure you upgrade your Android to iPhones.
Apple phones is the only way forward.
Much love from me and the 24 karat gold Labiboo.
Ah, the royal family.
They live a different life, don't they?
Let's welcome them with the finest
that Crab Apple has to offer.
When we crown little miss 30 something
crabapple changed from little miss teen crabapple a couple of years ago because of some incidents
with the then high school principal but that's a story for a different day we're going to
talk more about this royal visit after this commercial break. On this episode of the Commercial Break...
And some of the more darker versions do have this kind of tortured Joker, like you're getting
into the psychology of the Joker.
And Heath Ledger took it to a crazy place, right?
And everyone was shocked and loved.
Heath as the Joker, but Jack Nicholson
is legitimately crazy.
He is crazy as a human being.
Yeah, I just watched that Batman actually,
like six months ago.
The one with, yeah.
Batman!
And I mean, Jack Nicholson is just,
he's just mind dropped. He's not even playing a character. Uh-huh, and I mean, Jack Nicholson is just... It's my drop on...
He's not even playing a character.
He's playing Jack Nicholson.
He is a fucking lunatic.
Yeah.
The next episode of The Commercial Break
starts now.

I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley.
Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
Thank you for joining us.
It's a day of celebration, a day for make a joyful noise, as they would say, Chrissy.
Make a joyful noise.
You ever go to church?
I have been.
You have been to church?
Yes, I have.
They say make a joyful noise, and then they make the most unjoyful noises ever. They have a... That's in your church. That's in your Catholic
church. Well, you do have a different church. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. It's like... Hallelujah! Yeah,
we got a lot of singing and dancing and music. Yeah. Reminds me of the Blues Brothers when like
they go to that church and people are like doing flips down the aisle. Yeah, it is. It reminds me of the Blues Brothers when they go to that church and people are doing flips
down the aisle.
Yeah, it is.
It's a very joyful church.
James Brown and the Blues Brothers.
One of the best scenes in all of movie history.
It's got to be.
It's James Brown in the Church of the Holy Roller or whatever it's called.
Yes.
It's awesome.
That is an awesome scene.
I love it so much.
It brings me so much joy. Anyway, make a joyful noise.
And to you, the listener, thank you very much.
Even though I'm not sure it's all of you listeners,
I'm just gonna say it out loud.
I think it's very possible.
I think it's very possible that after five years of this show
and almost a thousand episodes,
certainly a thousand hours of content,
it's very possible that we may reach 10,000 followers
on Instagram before the end of this week.
I don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch,
but we're getting very close.
It's like watching the odometer at 9999.
I'm just hoping that no one unsubscribes
because there are days where we have more unfollows
than we do follow-ups, it's true.
That tracks.
It tracks, it's true. Some months we'll get like a couple hundred follows,
but the net net of it is like 30 because we have a couple hundred unfollows. And that,
listen, I understand. I get it. I'm not for everybody. And it's mostly me just
gabbing on about whatever. It's like condensed milk. It's a very sweet version
of what you put in your cereal.
Condensed milk.
Yeah. It's even too sweet version of what you put in your cereal.
It's even too sweet for me.
Condensed cream.
Condensed cream, that's right.
Have you ever had condensed milk?
Well, no, well, I mean, maybe like a long time ago,
but I've used it in like recipes and things.
Well, speaking of Venezuelans,
it's something that they use frequently in their desserts.
It's something that they will put on like the weirdest thing in the world. And my wife is going
to kill me for saying this out loud, I'm sure. But I'm sure there are other Venezuelans who are
familiar with this. My wife will take condensed milk and she'll eat crackers with like crackers
and condensed milk. The powder?
No, no, no.
Oh, the actual liquid.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the weirdest thing.
I don't know, but this is coming from a guy who eats cream and cereal, so I'm not going
to scream too loud from the rooftops, but it is a little unnerving because condensed
milk is extraordinarily sweet.
I mean, it's so sweet, but the Venezuelans, they love it.
They put it on everything. I do like tres leches though. I was, it's so sweet, but the Venezuelans, they love it, they put it on everything.
I do like Trace Leches though.
Trace Leches.
I was gonna say Leches, yeah.
Yeah, it's one of my favorite desserts in the world,
and you can soak that shit in as much condensed milk
as you want.
As a matter of fact, the more condensed milk,
the better with the Trace Leches.
So I guess I kind of do understand,
but that combination, that cake and the liquid,
oh, delicious.
Anyway, 10,000 followers on Instagram.
And why do we speak of Venezuela? Because every time we speak about Venezuela is really
when that Instagram starts to set on fire. I don't know if we have a lot of Venezuelan
listeners. I think we have a few. But come on, Americans, what's up with you? Start following
us. Why do we have to rely on the Venezuelans? Why won't you follow us?
Thank you to the Venezuelans. Thank you to the, gracias, muchas gracias, muchas gracias for, uh, for the follow. We really appreciate it.
And I'm just very excited. We've waited for this day for a long time, Chrissy.
I didn't, I never thought it would come. I thought if we get to 10,000 in 2025, it would be good.
We're six months ahead of schedule, five months ahead of schedule. I'm really, I'm really just super thrilled about it. I don't know
what happens when you get to 10,000. Does anything happen when you get to 10,000?
It's just at least a little bit of a milestone.
Yeah. Instagram keeps like sending us notifications, like congratulations. They are even there
taking notice, like congratulations.
We can't believe you did it either. Yeah, we never thought it happened either. They're even taking notice. 10,000 followers
on Instagram. If you are not following us on Instagram, please do so at the commercial
break. Help make a dream happen for two lowly podcasters just looking for a little bit of love.
That would be fantastic. Now, on to more important things besides stroking
our own nuts. Chrissy, Michael Ian Black is a sophisticated master of illusion and deception.
Did you know this?
I did not know this, but I enjoy him very much.
I will tell you why. I do like Michael Ian Black, but I don't love Michael Ian Black
any longer. Because Michael Ian Black came here
to our little old podcast, The Commercial Break,
if you don't mind, Chrissy.
He came here, spent almost an hour with us
from his hotel room in Vegas where he was gambling.
Now I think he might be actually a degenerate gambler,
if I might jump to conclusions.
He might be a degenerate gambler
if I might jump to conclusions. He might be a degenerate gambler
with a keen eye for con artistry.
Because he came here for an hour.
He made fun of us. He yelled at us.
He told us all about his political leanings.
We let him go. We loved him.
We thought he was our friend.
But he failed to mention in all of the discussion about all of
the wonderful things that Michael Ian Black was doing, he failed to mention that he is in 15
minutes of the new Superman movie. That's right. That's right. I saw that. Failed to disclose that
to us. Failed to tell us anything about it. And I am disappointed in him. Because I watched the new Superman.
Oh, you did?
With great fervor.
It's getting good reviews, right?
It's getting great reviews for great reason.
Now there's a bit, is it woke Superman?
I don't know where the woke was.
There was a woke.
It was just a good movie.
It was a good, feel good movie.
It's what we need right now.
We need to install some semblance of hope and faith in humanity and Superman
is like the, is the condensed milk of that. Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that makes sense.
It's a great movie. It's a little fluffy in parts, it's a little overblown. There are
some dramatic, there are some, you know, extra action scenes that I think it could do without,
but that's just my personal opinion.
In sum, in total, it's a fantastic fucking movie.
That's great to know.
The new Superman is the best Superman,
since Christopher Reeve,
and man oh man, did I want that last guy to succeed.
What was his name?
Who was that Superman?
I don't think I watched it.
Who was that Superman?
You didn't watch that dark version of Superman?
No.
Hold on one second, because Astrid and I were talking
about this on the way out the movie.
We went and saw it on Friday night
at a packed movie theater, not an empty seat in the house.
Yeah, we almost took my nephews.
They were with me this weekend.
Who has played Superman?
I want to make sure I get this.
Henry Caville. Henry Caville, I wanted to make sure I get this right. Henry, Henry Cavill. Henry
Cavill, I wanted to love him as Superman, but the movie itself was not good. And so
it fell flat. I love that kind of that Dark Knight Christopher Nolan version
of superhero stuff. That's my favorite kind. Okay. But the truth is the movie
that Henry was in,
just, it didn't do him any justice.
That movie didn't fit in general in kind of the,
and Superman is a reluctant hero in that movie.
He's not excited to save humanity.
He feels like it's a burden.
And so it's Oh Me, Poor Me, the entire movie.
They have a fucking Alice in Chains,
a Soundgarden song, a Pearl Jam song,'s like a sound garden song to open up that that movie
I mean we start off with part with sound garden
There's not many other places to go with it as far as darkness is concerned
But I will tell you right now that this new Superman is
Fantastic and you should go see I can't wait to see it. It's getting all kinds of buzz. Well casted, well played.
The script is fun.
It's like I said, a little frivolous at parts,
but otherwise a very tight two hours of action and fun.
I love it.
And you should go watch it for sure.
I will.
And this new Superman, whose name alludes me also,
David Cornswett?
Corrin Swett? Is that his name? David Corrin Swett?
Okay, I'm going with that.
Corrin Swett?
David Corrin Swett?
I guess so, yeah.
I didn't know the guy from Adam when I walked in the movie theater.
Yeah.
Christopher Reeve, here's the problem with Superman.
The challenge with Superman, not the problem with Superman.
The challenge with Superman as a movie character is that Christopher Reeve is Superman.
He will always be Superman to me.
He will.
That's what I grew up with.
Always be Superman.
He will always be the OG Superman, the guy who made us all believe that Superman can fly,
that he is good at heart,
and that Clark can't, for some reason,
cannot be recognized when he has glasses on.
Okay?
It just, we just believed it.
Because Christopher Reeve was that chiseled,
strong-jawed, oh shucks.
I don't know. It's kind of like Christopher Reeve wasn't the best actor in the world Strong-jawed, oh shucks.
I don't know.
It's kind of like Christopher Reeve wasn't the best actor
in the world and that played in his favor.
It made you believe that this could be...
He was an everyman.
Exactly.
It's a really good looking everyman.
Super sexy everyman.
And then Christopher Reeve, Superman,
to everybody that grew up with this, and I think to a lot of people who just didn't even grow up a Superman, who
were born long after Superman, the original Superman. Christopher Reeve was the embodiment
of that Superman. He hated it. He got typecast and he hated it. And it was a, it was a like
kind of a chain around his neck. And then hated it. And it was a, it was a like kind of a chain around his neck. And then
Superman falls.
Well, I know the whole tragic irony.
It's insane. It's insane when you think about the symbolism and the idol worship that we
all had around Christopher Reeve and Superman, and he falls off a horse, and we realize that he is not Superman. He is just human, and he is afflicted with the worst kind of
disability that an able-bodied person can experience, which is no longer using your
hands or your legs for the most part. And then how do you recast Superman after that?
How do you do that? You don't, you can't, it's not right.
It's not a good thing to do.
So years later, time has passed.
Even Christopher Reeve says, hey, you can have another Superman.
And then they just kind of muddy the waters with this dark experiment
in this dark nightish Christopher Nolan type of movie.
Doesn't work on most levels.
Even though I really wanted Henry to work because I thought Henry
would have been a good Superman. But then this guy comes in, this
Cornswaltz, Corns and Blats, Corns and Wetts. We'll call him David. Then David comes in. Yes, David C.
David C.
David C. comes in, and all of a sudden you have belief again, from the moment that he appears on screen,
you have belief again that there is a Superman
that makes sense.
It fits. All of it fits. I loved it.
I thought it was great. Congratulations
to everybody involved. I think it's a good movie.
It's getting great reviews. A lot of people saying
it's already a billion dollar property.
And it's the feel-good kind of superhero movie
that we needed. We did not need another, you know, sulky,
I'm Batman, I'm Batman, or whatever.
We needed a fun, upbeat, high tempo,
I wanna be a superhero, I wanna save the world,
people are good, humanity survives,
all that good bullshit, and you know what?
We got it.
Congratulations to us.
Humans have done well. And to all the other people who were in the movie too, congratulations
to all of you. And Michael Ian Black, fuck you. Fuck you. You couldn't have broken the
story here. I mean, come on, Chrissy. I thought we were all friends. I thought he was going
to give us the big scoop.
I do. Yeah, he should have.
But that is not the... And now I'm ruining it, of course, for everybody who didn't...
But I mean, I don't think Michael Ian Black does not play some surprise character.
Like, all of a sudden, you go, oh my gosh,
I can't believe this.
He plays a reporter, I'll tell you that.
He plays like a TV news reporter.
Like a, I don't want to say Tucker Carlson type,
but like a opinionated news guy.
And there are other surprises in the movie
that will shock you, surprise drop-ins
that will shock you. But altogether, great movie. And they brought in the other superheroes
to kind of round it out inside of that universe. You don't really have to know all of the backstory
of Superman to understand what's going on. You don't have to be like a comic book nerd
to get it. It all comes together very nicely.
And in the end, of course, Superman saves the day.
And Lex Luthor is there, in case anybody wants.
Okay, now who's the best Lex Luthor?
Oh, I guess you can't say that
because you haven't seen this new one.
Right.
Who's your favorite Lex Luthor?
Well, the original.
Of course, Gene Hackman.
Yes, Gene Hackman.
Gene Hackman will always be the best Lex, but this runs a close to number two. I will say that. Well done. It's a close two. Who plays the
Lex Luthor? Well, let me tell you who plays Lex Luthor by asking Google. Nicholas Halt. Okay. Yeah.
Let me see him. That guy. You've seen him in some stuff. You'll recognize his face. Oh, yeah. Okay, let me see him. That guy.
You've seen him in some stuff. You'll recognize his face.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you'll recognize who he is.
Oh yeah, he has been in a bunch of stuff.
He has been in a bunch of stuff.
And he does a really fine job, bald-headed and everything.
He does a really fine job, but Gene Hackman is Gene Hackman.
God damn.
And by the way, Gene Hackman hated being in Superman.
He hated it.
That's right.
I remember hearing that.
He didn't even want to sit down for table reads.
He didn't want to work.
Christopher Reeve wanted to work with him on scenes.
And he was like, this is a superhero movie, dude.
Not going to do it.
Not interested.
And it ended up being one of the biggest successes
of Gene Hackman's life.
And I think everybody roundly loved,
you know, Gene as Lex Luthor. Okay, now who's the best Batman?
Oh, that's a toss up. I mean, I do love that Michael Keaton.
Michael Keaton is like close to my heart.
Me too. I think it's just because I love him. But he played a guy, I think that first one is good,
although it, you know, Prince, Kim Basinger,
but it's got the Jack Nicholson.
Jack Nicholson is the-
That amazing Joker, he's gotta be the best Joker.
I get it.
Yeah, I agree with you.
I get it.
We all wanna remember Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Yeah, and he-
He won an act, he won it posthumously,
won an Oscar, I think, for that role.
And what a great movie.
He kind of started that tortured Joker thing
that happened then with now Joaquin Phoenix.
Yes. And love it. I think it's great.
I think it's a great storyline.
And I think that tortured Joker, it makes a lot of sense.
And I haven't read a lot of the comic books,
but I've read some of them.
And some of the more darker versions do have this kind of tortured Joker. Like you're getting into the
psychology of the Joker. And Heath Ledger took it to a whoa crazy place, right? And everyone was
shocked and loved Heath as the Joker. But Jack Nicholson is legitimately crazy. Yes. He is crazy as a human being.
Yeah, I just watched that Batman, actually, like, six months ago.
The one with, yeah.
Yeah, with, uh-huh.
And I mean, Jack Nicholson is just, it's the mind drop on...
He's not even playing a character.
He's playing Jack Nicholson.
He is a fucking lunatic.
I love Jack and anything that he does.
Jerry Hall is in that too.
I know Jerry Hall.
That's his girlfriend.
Hey, listen, didn't Jerry Hall buy a,
I think she bought a, or was that Kim Basinger?
Was Jerry Hall or Kim Basinger, one of them bought like a-
Well they're both in that move, in that first one.
That's true.
Bought an entire town in Georgia.
It was Kim Basinger.
Oh, okay, Kim Basinger.
Listen, legitimately.
Brasilton.
Brasilton, Georgia, that's right.
She bought the whole town.
She like bought the township.
They sold it to her for like $200,000 or something.
And now Brasilton's a great place.
Like everyone wants to live in Brasilton.
Yeah.
I totally understand why Heath gets all the accolades
and the accoutrements.
His version. His version.
Was really, really good.
But they're not even comparable because Jack Nicholson,
Heath plays a crazy person as the Joker.
Jack Nicholson is a crazy person as the Joker
with that weird like.
Oh yeah, the smile, the permanent smile. I'll always be creeped out by that. And I'll always love that version of the Joker with that weird like oh yeah that smile permanent smile I'll always be creeped
out by that and I'll always love that version of the Joker I will always love it but that
Batman is getting the video in that one too?
No he's in the next one I think okay yeah and then by the fourth one it's like Mr. Freeze
with Arnold Schwarzenegger yeah Jim Carrey as the Riddler.
Oh right the Riddler.
It gets a little ridiculous I guess a a lot ridiculous, let's be honest
about it. That version of Batman wears thin real quick. And then you have Val Kilmer,
George Clooney.
Yeah, Val Kilmer was good too. George Clooney, yeah, he did.
I actually think Val Kilmer was pretty good as Batman.
Me too.
Michael Keaton is the OG, always going to love Michael Keaton as Batman. Val Kilmer
did a good job.
George, that's unfortunate.
It's just unfortunate all around.
I think even he will admit it.
I think he was the one with Mr. Freeze.
It's unfortunate all around.
Everyone makes a mistake, or seven.
But listen.
Yeah, he recovered nicely.
He did.
He did okay for himself by doing the exact opposite of whatever that was for the rest
of his career.
Always in his seat, always the hero, but not loudly.
I love George.
I really do like a lot of his movies.
I love any movies he's in.
I do.
I think he's a great actor.
He is.
But Batman is not it.
It's not.
That's not it.
But he was just coming off of ER or whatever.
True. Now he's going to be a superhero. They he was just coming off of ER or whatever. True. Yeah.
He's making it. Now he's going to be a superhero. They probably paid him a
bo-bo to money to do that. You would have done it too. I would have done it. Everyone would have
done it. And that's the one where they put the bulge in his pants.
In the suit?
Yeah. They put the penis in the suit. That was the whole thing. It was a kerfuffle.
There was a kerfuffle. And then we can all, I think, agree that Christian Bale is another type of Batman.
And it's hard for me to shake that Batman because I do love Christian Bale in that role.
It's dark, it's moody, it's sultry, it gives a lot of realism to Batman where the Michael
Keaton Batman, those movies are very colorful and playful.
They're dark too, but they're colorful and playful
and you're in a comic book world that's-
Does Dick Tracy show up in that one?
No, Dick Tracy does not show up in that one.
Smartly, even the Riddler was taken more seriously
than anything Dick Tracy ever did.
Who played the best Dick Tracy?
Well, there's only one so far.
I can't believe it and continue with that series.
I can't believe there wasn't a Dick Tracy too.
I think there was talks of it.
I think there was.
I mean, Al Pacino is in Dick Tracy.
That is so true.
Madonna is in Dick Tracy.
Some of the best actors that have ever lived
are in the movie Dick Tracy.
And it is a weird, wacky, trippy, colorful film noir.
I know, it makes me wanna watch it again.
I don't think you can find it.
I don't think anybody has agreed to license it.
Yes, I think so.
I think you can watch it Pluto with ads.
You know what I'm saying?
Pluto TV with ads.
Did you end up watching The Penguin on HBO?
No, I didn't.
You gotta watch it.
I didn't, it's on my list.
But so are so many other things.
I know, you gotta pop that up.
Yeah, now I just put Fire Island on my list.
So I guess I'll get to that someday.
Someday I'll get to it.
But I found time to go see Superman.
And I do have to tell everybody that it's a good movie.
Thank you for the review.
And don't worry about whatever, you know, woke Batman and all,
woke Superman and all that stuff.
Take that shit out of your head.
It's not true.
I didn't see any indication that this was like a liberal leaning movie.
There's no, there's not even politics in the movie.
It's just Superman doing what he does.
All of the, you know, he saves a country.
I think you can see that in the trailer.
Those are like fictitious, you know, trailer.
Those like fictitious.
They're probably saying that just because Michael E.
Lambeck is in it.
Probably.
You know?
Probably.
You are probably right.
But suspiciously, Michael E. and Black,
like there's no talk of politics.
No right or left, no nothing.
No American, none of that stuff is in the movie.
There's no any of the regular trigger words that get everybody all crazed about.
There might, this might be a neo lib movie is that none of that stuff is in there.
Michael Ian Black plays kind of like a tough talking opinionated,
like TV talking head type.
And so that is what he is essentially. I know, yeah.
But there's no talk of politics.
So you can put your mind at ease,
you and all the family.
I would tell you that this is not a movie
for probably children on, I think it's PG-13, I think.
Oh really?
It's not a movie, like my kids wanted to see it.
And so I said, okay, I'll go see it with mom
and then we'll tell you, we'll make a decision
after that.
I think it gets a little too, it's a little too edgy at times.
Really?
Yeah.
And I wouldn't bring super young children to see it.
Okay.
Depending on who your children are, of course.
But there were super young children in the theater and it surprised me quite frankly,
like three and four and five.
And I thought to myself, geez, that's a little young to be watching.
You know, there's blood and guts and stuff like that at times.
And it's not super, like it's a little realistic.
So, you know, you just, you know, you've got to be, I'm, I don't know why I'm saying this.
It's commercial breaks.
Only kids are watching this.
All right.
You know, you make a decision that's best for your family.
I'm not here to tell you that.
All right, let's do this.
Let's take a break.
There's lots more fun things coming up.
The week is just getting started

So go follow us on Instagram.
I'll be by myself, but at least I'll be doing that.
We'll be back.
You make this rather snappy, won't you?
I have some really heavy thinking to do before 10 o'clock.
Hi, cats and kittens.

Well, I've got just the place for you to do that.

Okay, I gotta go now. I've got a date. With my dog. No, seriously, Axel
needs food. Today is pork chop day.
Hey, so what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wigovie. Wigovie?
Yeah, Wigovie. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you.
Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor. About Wakovie.
Yeah.
Ask for it by name.
Okay.
So why did you bring me to this circus?
Oh, I'm really into lion tamers.
You know, with the chair and everything.
Ask your doctor for Wakovie by name.
Visit wakovie.ca for savings.
Exclusions may apply.
Hey, what's up, flies?
This is David Spade.
Dana Carvey.
Look, I know we never actually left, but I'll just say it. Come on. And every Monday you're stuck with just me and Dana. We react to news, what's trending, viral clips.
Follow and listen to Fly on the Wall everywhere
you get your podcasts.
Woo!
All right, and we're back.
Over the weekend, Wimbledon.
Did you watch any of Wimbledon?
I did not.
I did not either.
I mean, I did.
I watched, because the American.
I watched the updates.
The American young lady was there.
I'm sorry, I don't remember her name.
I don't watch a lot of tennis,
but she was there unexpectedly,
I think she was like a number 14 seed
or something like that, and she ended up being,
representing the United States of America,
she lost handily, lost in I think like,
a very easy match for the opponent.
So, but congratulations to the opponent,
can't remember her name either,
but then the Spanish and the Italian
were against each other in the men's final,
which Alcaraz, I think is the guy's name, the Spanish guy.
And so I don't...
Uh...
I can get into tennis, like, if it's the only thing on,
and there's something at stake.
Sometimes I like to watch tennis.
I used to watch it when I was a teenager.
It seemed like there was a lot of my friends were watching tennis. And I used to play a
little bit of tennis, very poorly played tennis. I could never do the overhand serve. So I
always did the underhand serve.
I took tennis in college, like a class.
Oh, you did?
For a semester.
Were you any good at tennis?
Nah.
Medium.
Medium? Yeah. I remember batting the ball back and forth.
It was very hot.
It was always in the summer.
It was always miserable.
It was always playing on those red, hard courts.
Yeah, I don't even think it was clay.
I think it was pretend clay.
I think it was made to look like clay.
It was hot as fucking balls.
Yeah.
And my parents, like they hired a tennis coach one time.
Like we got into tennis, I would say when we moved here, so I was probably 12, 13 years old. And we started playing tennis with some of
the kids around the neighborhood. And so my parents said, you want to take tennis lessons? Sure, why
not? So they hired a, like a teenager, you know, a kid that was given lessons at the courts in the
neighborhood. And we ended up, I think I was there for like, maybe three lessons.
And it was hot, and it was clear that I wasn't good
because I wasn't coordinated enough.
I've never been a particularly coordinated person.
I mean, I'm coordinated enough,
but not that coordinated.
And so, you know, I was batting the ball around
and I just was never good
and the guy was always yelling at me and I didn't like it.
So I just said, eh.
Like a lot of things in life, I just gave up.
I just said, eh, this is too hard for me. I gave up. Yeah. But I have a mad appreciation for those who can bat the ball at a hundred and thirty seven
miles per hour. They're, they're serving that ball. That is crazy. But it's another very
posh sport, a lot like golf. And there, to me, there's a little bit of a disconnect sometimes.
I mean, listen, I don't like hate people who are rich.
That's not the way that I look at the world.
But sometimes there's a little bit of a disconnect.
The guy wins, old boy wins.
And the old boy, He wins whatever's Italian.
Oh, Sinz.
His name was Sinz.
Yeah, my way.
Old boy, old girl, she lost, he won.
Congratulations.
You see how much-
Somebody from the US.
Yes, you see how much I like tennis.
I love tennis.
So old boy Sinz was his name.
Sinz wins.
And Sinz goes up into the crowd.
He goes up into the stands to give a hug to his manager and the people and his parents
and all that stuff.
And there's like 15 famous people in the boxes all around him.
And I'm like, holy shit.
The guy's like shaking, you know, giving a kiss to his mom
and right next to him is, I forgot who it was.
I don't know, the princess of something
and there's the prince.
Well, Wimbledon's a big deal.
Wimbledon's huge.
Yeah.
It's a huge deal.
Mm-hmm.
And this reminded me that a couple of weeks ago,
I was sitting with my Starbucks boyfriend.
Oh, nice.
How is he?
Did he get the pool?
He got the pool.
The pool's all done.
Oh, good. It looks good. He's having a big party in a couple of days.
Uh-oh. Are you going?
I think I am. I think I am.
Okay. I love this.
The Starbucks boyfriend's great.
I love my Starbucks boyfriend.
We're so gay, but not gay. You know what I'm talking about?
We like to hang out and have fun and shoot the shit.
I wrote a song about it.
It was on one of the episodes.
It was in the beginning of one of the episodes.
So he's saying to me, and the Starbucks boyfriend
is considerably more wealthy than I am,
but he's also, he's done a lot in his life.
Like he earned it.
It's not because he just came upon a bunch of money.
He earned it.
He worked very hard, sold a couple of companies. He's done well for himself. So he says, eh, you want to,
what are you doing? You want to go to, you want to go to Wimbledon? And I'm like, Wimbledon,
do I want to go to Wimbledon? He's like, yeah, I was going to think about going to Wimbledon,
but I can't find anybody to go with me. And I'm like, he goes, but the question is like,
do I really want to spend the money on that ticket? And I'm like, what is, but the question is like, do I really want to spend the money on that ticket?
And I'm like, what is the price of a ticket?
$92,000 for a final ticket to Wimbledon.
One, one ticket.
We were looking at them and I was like, holy shit, bro.
I don't make that in a year.
Yeah, count me out for now.
So then we start talking. Yeah. So then we start talking.
Yeah, so then we start talking.
He says, what I really wanna do is,
what's on my bucket list is the British Open and Wimbledon.
Those two things, and I said the British Open,
definitely on my bucket list.
I wanna go the Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup too.
Patrick, my little brother actually just went
and played congressional, where Ryder Cup will be in 2036,
I think, or something like that.
And I don't play congressional, congressional. Who plays congressional? My little brother, I think, or something like that. And I don't play congressional, congressional,
who plays congressional?
My little brother, I guess, I don't know.
He's also doing considerably more,
considerably more wealthy than I am.
Actually, it's not hard to be considerably
more wealthy than I am.
Do you have a dollar?
Are you in the positive?
There you go.
Are you in the positive when you open up your bank app?
Okay, good, things are going well for you.
Congratulations.
And I said, well, that, I could get behind that.
Let's see.
Tickets are not terribly expensive.
It's like 300, 400 pounds for the week.
You go for the week.
Yeah, that's reasonable.
Which is great.
Now there's like 80,000 people that are spread out
amongst that course. It's like you're in a big throng of people and you have to get to Ireland and
then you have to find a place to stay in a small Irish village. But still, you know,
it's much more, that's way more affordable than even the masters, which is like two or
three thousand dollars for a Friday or Saturday or Sunday ticket. So I thought to myself,
oh, okay, you know, maybe, he says, well, ask your wife if you can go.
And then I instantaneously knew this is not happening because I got to ask my
wife if I can go away for a week.
Can I go to Ireland for a week?
Do you mind?
But the whole pricing of Wimbledon made me understand just how posh of a sport,
or at least this particular event,
really is.
I mean, to spend that kind of money,
to see one tennis match that's about four hours long,
where you are sitting in the hot fucking sun, baking,
the chairman of Augusta National was there.
And Augusta National is the place where they play the Masters.
And if you're the chairman of Augusta National,
you are considerably more wealthy than even the people
I've just mentioned who are considerably more wealthy
than I am.
You have to be somebody.
If you're, I mean, in the upper echelons of the Hootie Toots
and the Snooty Snoots, the chairman of Augusta National.
Pretty far up.
That's a title.
That's a fucking title, right?
It's like royalty, basically, here in the United States,
certainly in the golf world.
Well, he's there and he doesn't even have a good seat.
He's like sitting up in the top and I'm thinking to myself,
geez, the guy from Augusta National
didn't even get a good seat.
And I think the princess is there, isn't she?
Doesn't the princess show up?
I think so.
Isn't she the one who gives the award
or something like that?
People love their, the people, they love that tennis, man.
They die for it.
They pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to see people.
And I can understand it's a, it's a singular sport.
It's like golf and the singular sport in the sense that is you against an opponent.
Even golf is even more singular as you against the whole, but you're playing
against somebody, you have to beat somebody else's score.
But this is just two guys, two girls out there banging it out for four or five
hours and hot fucking sun on the clay or the grass, running around from side to side,
every point, do or die. It's an intense, intense sport.
It does look intense. I remember watching it back when Serena and Venus.
Those two girls were absolutely exciting. See, I grew up in Andre Agassi. Right. Agassi, Pete Sampras.
Yeah, I remember Agassi.
And it turns out he was on Crystal Methil, like, half the time.
Hey, listen.
Don't hate the player.
Hate the game.
What are you going to do?
To me, I remember that being kind of shocking.
He was on Crystal Methil while he was playing?
Yes.
Cool.
That's cool. Really? Yes. Cool. That's cool.
Really?
Yeah.
No.
I thought, I knew he did Crystal Meth,
but I didn't think he was doing it while he was playing.
Don't they drug test those guys?
I'm gonna verify.
I think this was back before the drug testing.
Let us not besmirch Andre Agassi's good name.
He did wear a wig for a long time too.
He did.
Yeah, he had like an actual,
like a headband that had a wig tied to it.
It did.
And everyone was like, come on bro,
you aren't fooling anybody.
But he went with it and hey, you can't blame the guy.
Who wants to be bald out there on, you know,
playing Wimbledon?
Well, yeah, it was a protective for his head.
Yeah.
So he didn't get burned.
That's where he hit his meth. Look.
Oh, okay, wait.
Andre Agassiz admitted to using crystal methamphetamine in 1997, a year when his tennis ranking plummeted.
So he was buying.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
He revealed this in his autobiography.
Okay.
All right.
He also disclosed that he tested positive for the drug, but lied to the Association
of Tennis Professionals to avoid a ban.
Wow.
Well, I mean, yeah.
If you're under Agassi...
He claimed he had accidentally ingested the drug from a spiked drink.
Whoops!
Belonging to his assistant, Slim.
They accepted that and let him play.
Oh, pretty!
I got no idea what happened.
Yeah, it was a spiked drink. Accepted that
Yeah, there's a spike drink
Spike drink it was meant for slim
Slims a were working with.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there. Well, apparently, Andre Agassi's slim wasn't, it wasn't for him either.
How do you think he got the nickname?
How do you think he got the nickname Slim?
He lost a bunch of weight real quick.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, that crystal meth will do it to you.
I'll tell you what, I'm telling you,
the first time that I ever,
actually, that's not true.
One of the times that I encountered crystal meth,
the first time I ever encountered crystal meth,
crystal meth was with the chiropractor.
With the swinging party.
Yeah, the full on like, holy shit,
am I actually at a sex party?
I was at a pool party and it turned into a sex party
and everyone was smoking crystal meth.
And I was like, wow, this just got wild real fucking quick.
But when I, it was 9-11 and I was living in a, like a quadplex down by Piedmont Park,
big old mansion that they had turned into a quadplex, which was four apartments.
And so you would walk in the door and there was a set of stairs and right to the left
before you got to the stairs, there was a set of stairs and right to the left, before you got to the
stairs, there was a door to the downstairs apartment and then we had the upstairs apartment.
So you would have to unlock the front door and then you would unlock the door at the
top of the stairs.
I mean, there was like 20 stairs.
It went on forever.
I hated those stairs every time I had to walk up them drunk or hot, whatever.
But 9-11, when it happened, we had just moved in four or five months earlier.
We didn't really know the people downstairs.
We knew a couple of younger girls, like our age, and I say younger, our age at the time,
in their twenties, lived there, but we'd only said hi to them in passing.
But 9-11 happens, I have to work at 1130, and like no one knows what's going on.
Yeah, I remember I had to work that day too.
A lot of confusion, a lot lot of chaos, lot of sadness,
lot of confusion. And so I go downstairs to smoke a cigarette
outside. I needed to get out of my house for a second and like
see the trees, like just make sure the world was still revolving.
And I was smoking a cigarette and the girl downstairs came out.
So we met. We gave each other a hug. We didn't even say hello, we gave each other a hug.
That's how intense 9-11 was.
People who didn't know each other were just emotional
about this whole thing, because it's pretty clear
what it was all about early on.
So fast forward to like two weeks later,
now we know each other and she invites me downstairs
because she's gonna have some friends over. And I go downstairs and half the time when I would
pass this apartment, when I would come in late at night, it was always a funky
smell, like burning rubber or something, right? I never knew what it was. I thought
maybe it was just the building, maybe that's just the way this building
smelled. And I walked in and we're there not even 45 minutes and they're breaking
out the crystal meth pipe.
And I'm like, wow, you don't even hide that?
Like, hey, Brian, are you cool with smoking crystal meth?
I mean, it was really weird.
It was just like, it was assumed that I was cool with it.
I guess.
So I was cool with it, whatever.
Cool.
I rolled with it.
I was like, cool. Yeah, no problem
You got any cocaine?
Gristle mess a wild drug. It's a wild drug and sometimes those girls were up for like days in a row that
Yeah, you people don't sleep now
They'd come upstairs and ask we had wine and I'm on my third day and I'm on my fifth day
And I just got home from work and I've been up for seven days. And I'd be like, wow, you went to work?
I can't even go to work.
I'm up for a night and now you're up for seven days.
And one of those girls lost weight so quick while we knew her.
She lost like in three months, lost like 50 pounds.
It was insane.
She was like emaciated and it was because they were just doing it.
So, you know, Andre being
like an athlete at the top of his game and then smoking or doing meth at the same time,
it seems a little incongruent to me.
Well, they plummeted.
Well, you know, that's what happens. I wonder if that's what's up with Tiger. I wonder if
Tiger's on the crystal meth.
Well, I mean, he had the pills.
Oh, yeah.
He had the pill situation.
Well, I have a belief and I'm sure that I would be right about this.
And I'm not saying that, I like Tiger Woods and anybody who grew up watching Tiger Woods,
you got to have an appreciation for what that guy did.
Definitely.
As an athlete in that sport.
But I think that there are people who get injured or have injuries or they get addicted to surgeries
and then those surgeries are a vehicle
upon which they get their prescription pain medication
and that prescription pain medication is of course addictive
and so the surgeries follow the medicine,
follow the surgeries, follow the medicine and then there's just always a reason to have
the medicine right?
I mean how many surgeries has Tiger Woods had?
Just in the last five years.
Ten?
A lot.
Eleven?
The guy drove his car off a cliff.
He broke his leg in 38 different places or something.
He'll probably always be on pain medication and he admitted as such that he was on pain medication and that some of it I may be taking
for the rest of my life because that's how I manage my pain.
But the poor guy, I mean that poor guy, I don't know how you play all doped up on pain
medication like that.
I can't even hit a ball dead sober.
I can't hit a golf ball more than 10 yards.
And he's hitting at 350 yards on one leg and high on prescription pain.
I'm not saying he's high high.
He's probably very used to taking prescription medication
this time, but it just must be like a difficult task.
I gotta imagine.
Anyway, how did we get here?
I was talking about Michaelian Black.
And Andre Agassi.
And Andre Agassi.
Tennis.
Oh, I was talking about Michaelian Black.
Tennis let us down a dark road.
Yeah, we went down a dark road there.
All of a sudden, we're talking about my neighbor losing
weight on Crystal Mountain.
And Tiger Woods.
Cracking his leg on purpose.
I didn't say he did it on purpose, but maybe.
I don't know.
Tiger, did you do it on purpose?
You can tell Brian.
Uncle Brian.
Uncle Brian.
Uncle Brian won't tell anybody else. All right, let's
take a break and we'll be back.
Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's

They cleared John Elway of any man-slaughter charges.
Oh.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Do you remember that?
No.
Chrissy was just going to roll with it.
She was just going to pretend that she knew what I was talking about.
John Elway, famous quarterback.
Of course I know who John Elway is.
What happened with the-
Wasn't John Elway making out with some sideline reporter one time when she didn't want him
or something like that? He was kind of creeping a little bit. Yeah. Who Wasn't John Elway making out with some sideline reporter one time and she didn't want him or something like that?
He was kind of creeping a little bit.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Who knows about John Elway?
Oh, right.
He was leaving stagecoach the music festival and his agent was on the back of the golf
cart and he fell off the back of the golf cart and just one of those crazy freak accidents
hits his head and goes brain dead and they had to pull the plug, unfortunately.
But he donated his organs, and so I applaud that effort and one final act of humanity.
I'm a donator.
Me too.
I don't care.
Right.
If they'll allow you to use my organs, go ahead.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not so sure.
If they're good.
Yeah.
If they're still good.
I think they're going to get all excited when they see that.
Then they're going to open me up and be like, what is this crystal meth pipe doing in his
liver?
How did he get it there?
We had a kidney for you, but it was 93% cocaine.
So I don't think we could use it.
We were going to give you his heart, but it's seven times the noticeable size from all the
barbiturates he's taken.
Sorry about that.
You don't want this guy's brain.
Throw that one in the trash.
Give that one to science.
Right, they can study it for other uses.
Yes. We were going to give you, we had an eye.
How did this man live this long?
We had an eyeball for you,
but it's permanently dilated from LSD.
So the ayahuasca did it.
But John Elway, I mean, just like a freak accident,
true and true, but there were a lot of people
who said that they saw John had been drinking at stagecoach. And of course, he's at stagecoach. Of course,
he's drinking. I mean, don't be an idiot. Like he's drinking. And of course, driving
a golf cart, it is illegal to drink and drive a golf cart. Now, so many people do.
Oh my God.
If you've ever been to a golf course.
Golf course.
Yeah. Did I tell you this story? Speaking of golf cart, and listen-
Or those neighborhood golf cart communities.
Yes, and when my- two stories about golf carts.
People ride around with roadies on those.
All the time. When my dad got married to my stepmom, they got married in Peachtree City.
Peachtree City is just south of the city. It's known as the town that Delta built because it's near the airport.
So it's not really in the city. It's like probably 20 minutes south of the city.
It's even like 20 minutes south of the airport, really.
And it's like this bedroom community.
It was a bunch of farmland.
A bunch of farmland.
And then they started building neighborhoods down there
for the people that worked at Delta, the pilots,
the air attendants, the mechanics, the executives.
And because Delta is such a huge company,
it quickly filled in.
What did they do?
A lot of the developers got together
and they built golf cart trails inside
and outside of these neighborhoods.
And now it's completely, there are trails,
hundreds of miles of trails,
of golf cart trails in Peachtree City.
Those golf carts can be expensive too.
They have like golf cart dealerships.
Yes, yes. In the town where I live actually it's legal to drive golf carts on the roads and I see
that more and more frequently now too. But we're not talking about your dad's golf cart from the
no we're talking about tricked out Mercedes Benz golf carts with air conditioning and all kinds of shit.
You can get all kinds of upgrades.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speakers and we got a ride one time to the fireworks a couple of years ago with one of
my brother's friends.
We parked at his house in downtown where I live and then we took his Mercedes Benz golf
cart down to the park.
It's probably a 15 minute ride down there.
And this thing went 45 miles per hour. I mean, it was so fast.
I was nervous for the kids.
It was like a three-bencher.
So it was big.
It had air conditioning.
It was blowing air conditioning on my face.
It was crazy.
I'd never seen anything like it.
Anyway, so my dad gets married down in Peachtree City.
And the place where he's getting married is not,
it's close to the hotel, but it's probably like four miles, three or four miles away.
And so some of us rented golf carts
to get to the wedding venue and back.
And we were alerted very sternly
by the people who rented these to us.
You will get pulled over and you will get a DUI
if a cop sees you with a beer in your hand. Yeah. And we were like, oh wow. And then we heard stories from other people at
the wedding who had known somebody who had either been in an accident, gotten a
ticket, gotten a DUI on a fucking golf cart on these trails because they were
drinking. Now you go to a golf course any day of the week and you're gonna see
guys that are drunk, guys or girls that are drunk driving around
these these golf carts. Well, I mean for God's sakes I used to be the golf cart
girl. Oh yeah, that's true. They have a golf cart that drives around and delivers drinks.
It's a mobile bar. Yes. It's encouraging you to drive those things drunk, but I
think the assumption is... Those things don't go like super fast. No, they put
governors on those. Yeah, so they maybe go 15, 20 miles per hour.
They're not that fast.
And, you know, now they have them where they're like geo-fenced.
So if you get that... So if they...
If like, you're not in the car and they start rolling off,
they'll stop themselves.
If you get onto the golf course and you're going a certain speed,
it'll slow you down.
You get up toward the greens, it'll stop you. It's all like GPS controlled and all this other stuff. There are
at least at the fancier golf courses. And so it's, I used to golf a lot with my brothers,
like in my thirties. I would go once, sometimes twice a week. And it was just a thing that we did.
We'd like to go out there and dig around and have fun. And I was never married. No kids. No kids. My money went to golfing. It went to golfing into
alcohol. That's where it went. So we get together with my twin brother and my little brother,
Patrick, and then some other guys get together on like a Saturday morning. Early morning is
usually when we like to play because it was cool outside.
You could get there, you know, you could get it in.
Yeah, early morning.
Yeah, before the worst of the day.
Get that early morning drunk going.
That's exactly. Or you're still drunk from the night before.
Right, and you gotta keep going.
We always made the eight o'clock tea time, that's what we would, we would always set
the tea time at eight o'clock in the morning. Then we would all bitch and complain for the first hour
about how hungover we were until we got some alcohol in us.
Right?
So we get there.
I am assuming it's eight o'clock
because that's the tea time we liked, eight, eight, 15.
And all of us, not because we were together,
in disparate ways are hungover.
We're all not feeling it.
We're like, oh my God, this sucks.
First hole, I'm going to paint a picture for you, Chrissy.
First hole, 300 yards, T-box.
Then as you look down the fairway,
on the right-hand side of the fairway is a huge hill.
And that hill is probably 30, 40 feet in the air.
And then the green is down the left side of the fairway. So you want to hit it
either straight down the middle or use that hill to roll it down toward the green. Okay, but that
hill is steep. It's really steep and it's 30, 40 feet in the air. The golf cart path follows the
hill. It goes up the hill and then back down toward the green, around the back of the green,
essentially downwards. Over the back of the green, the back of the trail is a lake, some woods in a
lake, like a pond or whatever, a retention pond. So we all tee off. Okay, great. And then we all
are going, Kevin's in the first cart and he's driving and we're in the back, we're in the cart
behind him when we're driving. And Kevin's ball is sitting near where the slope is,
the bottom of the slope, but not toward the green yet.
So he's got to go hit it.
He's got to park way up top of the hill.
Then he's got to run down to grab his ball.
Okay.
But Kevin decides that he doesn't want to,
I'm assuming this is what he decided.
He doesn't want to walk down that hill and back up.
So he's going to try and get the cart down there.
Well, it's so steep. There's no going down that hill with a cart.
But Kevin is driving the path.
We see him and then we see him start to turn left
toward going down the hill.
But you would have to go straight down that hill.
You cannot have any angle whatsoever
because that golf cart is gonna flip.
But Kevin goes down and he turns the golf cart.
That golf cart and then Kevin falls out of the golf cart.
Oh my God.
And the golf cart goes zooming down the hill.
Oh no.
On to the, Kevin rolls down the hill six or seven times, like flipping end over end down
the hill.
And we're all sitting, I stopped the cart and I'm like, I got my mouth wide open.
Kevin's rolling down the end over end like a little child.
Yeah, somersaults.
With a golf club in his hand. And then he stands back up and the golf cart is now heading
on the green. It's heading toward the lake.
Towards the pond.
It's running toward the golf cart. He's chasing it as fast as he can.
He's going, he's going, he's going.
I mean, Kevin, Kevin grabbed the golf cart with inches of despair.
It would have been in the lake, no doubt about it.
It would have been in that water, no doubt about it.
Oh my God.
But miraculously covered it.
But I have never seen a grown man roll down a hill like this.
Never in my entire life.
It was the funniest thing. I'm surprised he didn't break every bone in his body. I've never seen a grown man roll down a hill like this. Never in my entire life.
It was the funniest thing.
I'm surprised he didn't break every bone in his body.
He just flip-flopped all the way down the hill.
30 feet in the air.
And then just adrenaline to save the cart
is what sprinting is.
Adrenaline not to pay $7,000 to replace the cart.
I mean, I'm assuming they have insurance on those things.
But I don't think you get the insurance claim
when you're the one to just hook it down the hill.
It was miraculous and magic.
And none of us will let Kevin forget it.
Every time that Kevin gets into a golf cart,
we're like, you okay, bro? You got this?
I mean, those things can be dangerous.
They can be, yeah.
And, you know, John Elway had a really unfortunate accident.
I don't think there was any maliciousness about it.
By all accounts, they were good friends.
It was his agent.
Like, they were buddies, pals.
Yeah, I know.
It was a bad accident.
Oh.
It was just a really, really shitty situation.
But he's been cleared of all charges, and I guess that's that.
My, you know, just so we can end every segment
of this show with a dark segment.
My first girlfriend, like true girlfriend,
Brooke, her dad, they lived in a golf,
golfing community, they live on a golf course.
And for Easter Sunday, where his birthday was around Easter Sunday, like the week of
Easter Sunday, this particular year, he got a golf cart, like a brand new golf cart.
So he decided to take it out.
It was on Good Friday.
He decided to take the golf cart out, go hit some balls and hang out with one of his friends.
Storm came by, real quick, like one of those like micro version storms came by.
Yeah, we got those recently here.
Yes, they're crazy by the way.
And knocked a tree over,
and the tree landed on the golf cart and took his leg off.
Oh my God.
It was insane.
He lost his leg in a golf cart when a tree fell on it.
It was like, it was a devastating accident.
You can imagine that everybody involved,
including Brooke, they were like a mess for weeks.
But then her dad liked to do things like
one time I went to her house and her dad had a fake leg,
right, and he turned it upside down
and put his coffee cup on it.
Her dad had a good sense of humor about it.
He had fun with it. He had a good sense of humor about it.
Never liked me, never liked me one bit.
Neither her parents did.
They never liked me.
I was not the guy for their daughter.
And clearly that was the case, but God bless you.
God bless you, Brooke's mom and dad.
I know you were looking at me suspiciously.
Her mom didn't like the fact that I didn't chew my food at least 20 times before I swallowed.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, to each their own, you know, I didn't chew my food 20 times before I swallowed
because I grew up in a house with four other, three other boys.
Yeah.
You didn't swallow your food quickly.
You weren't getting it.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
It was kind of, I was like an animal, a little animal in that way.
Anyway, God bless you, John Elway.
I'm sorry about your friend.
That's, you know.
That's just awful.
Yeah, you're gonna have to live with that.
Yeah.
And I mean, unless he was driving like an idiot,
I'm sure it was just an accident.
That's why I do not like the kids.
My dad has a golf cart at his house
to go back and forth to the lake
because they live up this down, like the hill.
They live on the lake, but it's probably 200 feet
to the actual lake and it's down a big hill.
So they got a golf cart and made a little golf cart path
so they could go up and down.
But it's twisty, turny, it's very steep.
And I never allow those kids to sit
on the back of the golf cart because I'm like,
when you're going up those steep hills,
it's hard to keep yourself on the golf cart.
If you fall, you know, it's bad news.
So anyway, I'm glad we gave a bunch of safety information
today on the show.
And a fantastic Wimbledon update.
Yeah, and a fantastic Wimbledon update
of which we know none of the names.
And we basically shit on your sport.
I'm sorry, if you like golf, it's all good. Listen.
Cheers to you Wimbledon. I'm sorry if you like golf. It's all good. Listen
Here's a Wimbledon
Super Bowl movie. Yeah, it's not Superman. Yeah, and the new Super Bowl movie John Elway in the new Super Bowl movie
He makes out with a bunch of unsuspecting sideline reporters. Wasn't that him? I think that was it. Yeah, he was drunk I think. Yeah, he was like trying to kiss that poor girl who then, Erin Andrews, who then got like videotaped in her...
Yeah. Poor Erin Andrews. I know, she's gone through it. She's still around isn't she? She is.
She's doing something. Anyway, it's been a great episode of the commercial break.
