Isn't it funny? I wear mates. But if your mom would let me bury me face in a day, I would without hesitation.

Isn't that weird?

I've never really thought about it, mate.

Would we really not be mates anymore?

We'd get through it.

I suppose, yeah, but I thought you'd ever come and have a tea, again, then? No.

She know that's a problem because your mom makes a sick podcast at all. Now I'll have to rethink. On this episode of the Commercial Break. There's a DJ booth in back, and the guy is playing a weird mix of Trap and Eña. I swear to God he is. It's on just loud enough so you have to speak up when you're talking, but just low enough that you can't really make out which song it is. But it's like,. The next episode episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Oh, yeah, Katz and Kins. Welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Diggity Diggity Dink. Chris and Joy holding it. Best to you, Chrisy. Hey, Brian. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Good. I think we're approaching episode number 500. Of course, I really don't know because I don't know. But I feel like we're the 500 range. And I would say that we should do something special, but then I know it's just not going to happen. So let's just make it a regular episode. This might be episode 500.

I'm not really sure, depending on how many we throw away between here and there.

Exactly. I think we're maybe 20 episodes away. 20 episodes away.

Yeah, maybe a little less than 20 episodes away. I think we'll do something special, but you'll just have to wait till the 500 episode to figure out because we'll also figure out on the same day as the 500 episode, what special we're going to do. I am just, week after Super Bowl, inundated with all this content about all the after parties and all the junk that went on afterwards. I'm not going to speak the name. I'm just not going to speak the name anymore on this show because I'm over it. But Travis Scott was doing some after-party pre-show, whatever concert, and he's doing it in this weird... I don't know where this was, but he's doing it in this, let's call it a courtyard of what must be a hotel. Then there are hotel rooms that are overlooking this courtyard, but rather close. So somebody's filming Travis Scott, and then they pan up and I've noticed that one of the rooms has a window wide open, and these two, a guy and a girl, are fucking going at it, Chrissy. I mean, banging hard, right? Everybody starts looking. Now the security guards are pointing, now people in the audience are pointing, and Travis stops the entire concert and he's like, Can we give it up for those two going at it?

Everyone's like, these people have no idea. Either they're doing it because they know that people are going to be watching them.

Exactly, which is what I would think.

Or they're just so fucked up. They have no idea what's going on. It is a 50/50. It's a 50/50. Or it could be both. Yeah. I felt a little jealous. I was like, wow, no one's ever going to find out who they are, right? Unless mom and dad see them on it, or friends see them on Instagram. Unless this was a lady of the night and this guy just was wild that night. He was fucked up. He's like, I'm going to 6, 6, 7 Bunny Ranch or whatever and get this girl over here. Christie, they were multiple positions, her giving him head, taking him from behind. It was fucking outrageous. I thought to myself, at first I was like, Wow, they should close the windows. Like, holy shit, they should close the windows. Then as the video went on, I found myself getting a little jealous. I was like, This guy's got stamina. We're already two minutes into this reel and he's still going.

Two minutes.

Do tell. Show me. Do tell. Show me the secrets. Oh, Yoda.

Well, I guess you just could have watched. You shall come, he does.

Freak up. Edging, he will. Edging, he does. I'm learning all about the edging. Have you heard about the edging? Do you know about the edging? I have heard about it. Are you guys practicing the edging at your house? Safe edging practices over there?

We haven't delved into the- The world of edging? The world of edging quite yet.

When you do, let me know so I can imagine it here at my house. I just pretend. Now I'm just going to start- I've heard about a lot.

I've known it- Not a lot, a lot, but- I've known it under a different name for a long time, right?

There's a yogatic, a tantra practice. That's what I meant.

Yeah.

And you go, go, go, go, go Then that practices your stamina, keeps everybody happy.

Didn't Sting do this?

Sting did this for seven hours he claimed at one time. I also have a friend who claimed he had sex for seven hours once, and I was like, No, I know you. I know you. You drink entirely too much whiskey to go anywhere for seven hours. I just don't believe it. I don't believe it. Seven hours is a long time to have sex. It is. Now, I can understand if multiple- Like there's a a stop and a start. Yeah, there's interludes. Interludes. Yeah, intermissions. Intermissions. Intermissions. Yeah. And by intermissions, I mean start. Let's take a typical seven-hour sex session. This is how I would do it. This is how Brian would accomplish that. Foreplay at noon, sex at 12:03, cigarette at 12:05, lunch, nap, watch a couple of episodes of The Office, come back to it at 6:45. I'll probably go a little bit longer the second session. You know what I'm saying? That's the benefit of the second session. You go a little bit longer. Now I'm thinking we're at 6:51. By 6:57, we're done. Everything feels good. Another cigarette, put the children to bed. That's how I imagine my seven hours. If that is a seven-hour sex session- What a day.

Then I have done that plenty. What a day. If I could actually accomplish two things in a day with all these children, I would be proud of myself.

Me too.

Yeah, you'd be proud of me too? I go to Starbucks a couple of days ago, and it's totally off topic. Sorry, I just change topics real quick. I go to Starbucks.

Your favorite place.

Yeah, my favorite place. I go to Starbucks a couple of days ago, and I order the drink, talk to the people. The EVO? No, I had the EVO. Well, Well, let's talk about that for a second. I had the EVO.

Because last time we talked, you were going to try it. Yes.

You hadn't yet. The Olaid or the Olaidi or whatever they call it. So someone made it for me. They just made it for me. They were like, Here, just try it. I will confirm that putting olive oil in coffee is like coating your stomach with super slick... Do you remember in Christmas Vacation, how he put that stuff on the bottom Sprayed it, yeah. Sprayed the bottom of the aluminum sled, and then he went flying down like this, whatever was a food preservative or something? Yes. Like a flash of light. That indeed is what happens to your stomach when you drink the olive oil-infused coffee. It just coats your stomach with super slick, slidy stuff. Anything that's trying to stick to the walls of your gut just runs right out. I am telling you, cleaned me right the fuck out. I wasn't necessarily... When someone makes the drink for you, You can't then just walk out the door when they're saying, Oh, try this. You got to try it. Tell me how it is. It's really good. It's so good. It was good. It was extra creamy. It was extra frothy. It was extra creamy. I liked it very much, but I had to go.

I drank two sips of it and I was like, Whoa, see you later, guys. I'm getting a call. That was gone.

From my stomach.

I was out of there. I swear. I'm going to stay away from it because you never know when that's going to hit. Sometimes it It goes instantaneously, but sometimes you're in the middle of a meeting and then you're like, Oh, is that a fart? I hope so. I hope so. Excuse me for 30 to 40 minutes. I'll be right back. I got to go have a press conference. But I will confirm that it was good. Okay. I will also confirm that it helps you pass your morning... Pass your morning pleasure.

Maybe from the dinner last night.

Maybe from dinner two weeks ago. I mean, it really felt like a colonic is what it felt like. Like that time I had the high colonic and they had the bathroom right next door, and I could barely make it three steps after I got off that table before I just emptied the contents of everything I had ever eaten. This also felt like that. So congratulations, Starbucks. You have now... You have a awesome diuretic. You need to lose a quick 5 pounds. Yes, a 5 pounds. I think I lost 12. Okay. So I go to Starbucks the other morning and I'm just standing there. I go and I sit. I stand there saying hello to everybody, and then I go and I sit at the end of the counter.

I say hello to everybody. I do.

I say hello to everybody. Hey, Jennifer. It's like cheers in there when I walk in. Hey, everyone's like, Brian. I'm like, Hey, good morning.

I said hello. Thirty minutes later, after I said hello to everybody.

Did you know he's a middling podcaster? I feel like that's what's coming next. I I feel like Starbucks is safe, too, because I don't think anybody's on to me over there. They're entirely too young to be on to the commercial break. Yes. I say hi to everybody. And then as I'm standing there, I notice that there's a gentleman in the corner at one of the tables. I'm going to guess in his 60s, he's got very disheveled hair. He's got a big old, I don't know, Walmart-type T-shirt, long sleeve T-shirt. You know what I'm talking about?

Like a worker-type shirt?

No, like a pastel well shirt.

Oh, okay.

That obviously has seen its better days. Probably could use some washing. He's got those khy pants on that oftentimes men of a certain flavor will like. Then the knees are all dirty and everything. But he's over there with a brand new Apple laptop. At first I thought, Is he dehomed? No, he's not dehomed. He's got a brand new Apple laptop. He's okay over there. But he's banging on the counter. He's banging on the table. I was like, Uh-oh, here we go. I'm waiting for someone to come shoot up the local Starbucks. Here it comes. He's like, Hey. Then I go and I sit down at the end of the bar and I can hear him continue, God damn, every fucking state has a different rule. I'm like, What? Every state has a different rule? What is he talking about? Every fucking state. Why does Starbucks do this? I was like, Every state has a different I'm not understanding. Now I think clearly the guy has mental illness.

Right.

I'm trying to put my empathy hat on, right? Okay, guy is a little disturbed over there. He's having a bad day. Every state has a different rule. I agree. Every state has a different rule. I just can't keep up with all of them. I'm like, Just thinking to myself, Well, I hope this doesn't escalate. He gets up, he walks over to the barista counter, and he's like, Excuse me? Excuse me? I was like, Whoa, dude. I'm standing right next to the guy because I'm at the end of the counter in one of those seats, and he's like, Excuse me? Finally, someone turns around and said, Yes, sir. Can I help you? I don't understand why I cannot connect to your Internet. The guy was like, Well, all you have to do is just, No, no, no, no, no, behind the barista says, I'm sorry? Just let me... I can explain to you. No, no, no. Every state has a different rule. These goddamn Starbucks, and I don't know how to connect. I thought, Well, change my oil while you're at it? I mean, while you're at it, can you change my oil? Give me a prostate massage, brush my teeth.

Also, maybe don't go to a Starbucks if you're so frustrated.

Chrissy, I couldn't understand for the life of me why this guy was asked all of a sudden, are these We're at Best Buy? Is this the geek squad? I know. Why are you asking him to connect your internet for you? If you can't do that, you probably should not have a computer where you're getting on wifi. What about your old hotspot? I don't know. Or like anybody else in the world, go home and use your computer. Exactly. Like anybody else in the world, go steal your neighbor's internet. Fbi. That's my favorite. When people put FBI Why?

We put virus on ours one time.

You put virus? Yeah. My dad put fuck off or something like that. It's pretty funny. Here he is, pounding the top of the counter, just, God damn it, every state has a different rule. I don't understand why you can't connect. Why can't I connect? You have to do this for me. Finally, someone walks around the counter, the manager walks around the counter and says, I'm sorry you're having trouble connecting, sir. I don't think I can touch your laptop, but I would be happy to stand there and see if you're connecting correctly.

Right. I mean, I would think as soon as if he touched it, then something could be broken or whatever.

I was one second away from getting involved. I was real close to getting involved. I bet you were. I was real As opposed to being like, Hey, dude, you got to settle down just a little bit. I'm happy to explain to you how to use your laptop. But then he seemed so disturbed about this that I felt it was best left to the professionals. I don't want to get involved in any draw. I don't want to be on TikTok or anything like that, arguing with an old man about how you get on your- No, you want to be on TikTok parking in the hotel. Yes, that's exactly what I want to do. I want to be on TikTok with a large schlong getting action in Travis Scott's concert, which conveniently happens to be in the middle of a hotel. I don't know how that worked out. So bam, bam, bam. Slaming at the guy. Okay, let me go over there. So now I'm like, Well, I better stay here and pay attention and videotape this for posteriors. No, I didn't. I did. But he goes over there and the guy goes like this. The manager is like, Sir, you got to turn your Wi-Fi on.

You got to turn the Wi-Fi on. You got to actually have it on your computer. You got to be able to connect. You have to turn it on. And he's like, I didn't have to do that at the last Starbucks. The guy was like, I don't know. I don't know what to tell you.

And he's like- That's generally the way it works.

He goes, You should be able to connect automatically. And the managers- Automatically? Automatically? What? Like, is there some magic WiFi genie that's just going to connect automatically to every internet? You're online. Starbucks Internet. So finally, the guy They connect and the guy says this, and the manager goes, Well, thank you very much. Have a nice day. You just let me know if you need anything. He goes, Well, I think I need a cup of coffee. He goes, Okay, well, just come up to the thing and order it. No, No, no, no, no, no, no. I should get a cup of coffee for the trouble Starbucks has put me through connecting to their Internet. What? Are you serious? Then I noticed the guy has no drinks, has no water, has no food. He's not even a patron of the Starbucks. He's sitting there, and now he's demanding a free cup of coffee because he could not connect to the Internet. The balls on this guy, the cojones on this guy. Now, let me tell you the kicker. Let me tell you the kicker. I leave. I come back an hour later to get a refill on my coffee because they spilled my coffee.

I come to get a refill on my coffee, and the guy is leaving.

And to get away from the kids.

And to get away from the kids. Okay. Which is my favorite part of the day. I come back and this guy is packing up and he's leaving. I thought to myself, Well, now I got to say and see what the punchline is here. Where is this guy going? Is he walking down the street? Does he have a shopping cart somewhere full of his stuff? Or is he getting into a car that's got Alabama license plate? Now I just need to know some more about this guy. Now I'm so fascinated because it's stuck in my head for the last hour. Why would that guy demand that someone connect him to the internet, then demand a free cup of coffee because he couldn't turn on his WiFi? This guy gets into, I shit you negatively, a brand new E-Series Mercedes Ben. Shiny fucking tires and all. Brand new. 2024. I know my Benz. This was one of them. I know my Benz because I would desperately want one someday. And this guy got into a brand new E-Series Benz with his brand new Apple laptop. I think this was all a ploy to get a free cup of coffee.

Now, some of you might say to yourself, God, Brian, that's really shitty of that guy who probably has money to go in there and bother everybody to look for a free cup of coffee. But as they say, as our friend Mark Cuban would tell us, it's not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you save. In my advanced age, I think what I'm going to do is go get myself a pair of Dickey Cackers, the Cacky Slacks. I'm going to get some Cackers, an old Walmart T-shirt, and I'm going to start walking around demanding free stuff because I cannot connect to their Internet. It's my new ploy to get rich, Chrissy. Well, let me know how that goes.

Let us know how that goes.

Here's the only problem. When they say that it's not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you save, we actually have to make money in order to save it. To save it, yes. So if you would do us a favor and send in donations to my GoFundMe page, Brian can't connect. Gofundme page, Brian can't connect. That's my new ploy, I can't connect. That's why you get Rich, quick scheme. Brian can't connect with listeners or to the WiFi. I'll donate. Yeah. There was a moment at the Starbucks. I thought, I've been going to that Starbucks for years. Never had one strange thing happen. There was that one time when they shut down for a week because it was a crazy person stalking one of the employees or something. But I didn't see any of that. I knew who the guy was. I had seen him in there before, but it wasn't a party to any craziness. And besides the really handsome dude that comes in every once in a while that smells like an angel, there's nothing particularly extraordinary about this Starbucks until this couple of days ago when this guy was making a big stink for a fucking free cup of coffee.

Is this where society is at?

Yeah, I bet they see all kinds of stuff. I remember I used to have to go to Starbucks to meet people when I was doing recruiting and just to meet them and talk, be sure, go over the resume, that thing. I would see a lot of crazy stuff at Starbucks.

Oh, you did? Yeah. Well, you live in that part of town where there's crazy stuff happening anyway. Every big city has its issues, right? Atlanta is no stranger to its weirdness. And so you live in that part of town. And I probably know which Starbucks you go to. Well, maybe not at your new house, but at your old house, I knew which Starbucks you went to. That was the Midtown one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to that Midtown one a couple of times. It was scary. It was scary in there a couple of times. Very nice people there, but there was some scary people there.

That I can only imagine with the people that work at Starbucks, see.

Oh. They're all the day. They're closing Starbucks left and right over there in California and other places because it's just the situation is out of control. People, they lock the bathrooms here at this Starbucks. So I think I've used the restroom one time to pee. I'm not going to take a dump at fucking Starbucks. It's just not my thing. I'm just not an outside dumper. Are you an outside dumper? I'm not an outside dumper. Unless there's an emergency. Who? Yeah. Unless there's a poop emergency, I don't go to outside dumping. I don't know. I had a friend one time. He had to visit every fucking bathroom we ever went to. Really? Every time we went somewhere, he had to go to the bathroom.

Oh, not unless you have to. I mean, for me.

Got to go drop a deuce.

And I'd be like- Not unless I have got not like, it's an emergency. Do I, dude? No. No. No. I want the comfort of my own bathroom.

I had this friend in like- Privacy.

Privacy.

Let the smell- Good toilet paper. Yeah, good toilet. Exactly. The comfort of knowing my ass germs or my ass germs. And my fecal matter stays here in my own fecal matter world.

Right.

I hate, I hate. It's like my nightmare when the urge comes and I'm somewhere out in the universe, I'm like, Oh, how quickly can I get home? I have been in Spain before and literally been like, How quickly can I get back to north of Atlanta before I really have to do this? I'm just not an outside dumper. I don't know. I can't do it. I can't do it. I have to be inside my house. I will go days without pooping. Sometimes there's hotel rooms I'm not comfortable. I'm like, Well, it was nice while I knew. I've been on cruises before and it was a tiny little room and I'm like, oh, it's a seven-day cruise. Keep the food light. Juice and ice cream. That's all we need, bro. Well, no. Juice and ice cream is going to make it go through you. So cheese platters and rye crackers. Let's do that. Cheese and rye crackers. Let's go that direction. I just feel so discomforted by knowing that other people have used the facility. They locked this Starbucks bathroom. And one time I asked, Why do you lock the Starbucks bathroom? Because I've been in plenty of Starbucks where there's not locked bathrooms.

She said, Well, it's a corporate policy for most stores now because people will go in there and they will do drugs. People will go in there and they'll be in there for 2 hours and we don't know what they're doing. Then it's just a general safety issue. We don't want people just hanging out in the bathrooms for days at a time. That's a terrible reflection on society. Yes, My first job at McDonald's, not only were the bathrooms wide open, but there were a lot of outside dumpers, lot of outside dumpers. It was two or three guys who came in every fucking morning. I worked mornings, came in, same thing, bacon, egg, and cheese, shit bagel or whatever. Give me four packets of mayonnaise and a cup of coffee. They'd just be eating their... And we had the free newspapers. That's right. They take their newspaper. They take their newspaper, they take their cup of coffee, they'd go in there with an ashtray and a cigarette. And then my the manager would be like, Let's do a restroom check at 10:00 and 20:00 after. 10:00 after and 20:00 before. I'd be like, Oh, man. Can someone else do the morning bathroom check?

You're 14. It's your job. I wanted to be my... I think that's honestly where I got some of my fear of poop.

Probably. Yes. Probably.

The things that I saw.

Well-founded.

It was like a war. It was PTSD.

I bet. That's why if I'm on the road, you're traveling and you've got to go, and I normally, thank goodness, don't have to go number two. But if I have to pee, I have to pee. I will usually go to a Chick-fil A because they're good. They're going to be good.

You're so right. Tino Venturi, my mentor in all things Italian territorias and fine wine, used to say, Brian, give them a bottle of chianse classical. Give them some softsheer clabs. Come on, Ryan, what are you doing? And remember, when someone goes into the bathroom, it is the cleanliness of the bathroom that determines the cleanliness of the restaurant. And I thought to myself, this bathroom looks pretty good. But that fucking restaurant back there, you are literally using old bread to make crew talks. There's nothing cleanly about that back there. It's all unsanitary. But it felt true to me, and I've carried that with me through the rest of my life. And you're right, the Chick-fil-A just does it different. I don't know what to tell you.

They They have flowers on the tables.

They have flowers on the tables. They make two things, chicken and French fries, and they're both goddamn good. They're so delicious. I don't agree with all of Chick-fil-A's Cummings and goings and musings about this, and that are the owners or whoever it is, the Cathy's or whatever. But the food is dangerous. But the food is delicious. And so I will separate the chaff from the way or whatever you say. The Chick. The Chick. The Chick from the Filet. I will separate the Chick from the Filet and say to you, now, the Chick-fil-A just does it different. That's why there's lines out the door every time they fucking open a fucking Chick-fil-A.

They even do a great job with their drive-throughs.

Yeah. What's up with that? Quick. Yeah. Go to Wendy's. Yeah. Go to Wendy's and try to get anything correct in your order. I'm not knocking on the people that work on Wendy's. I know. It's a tough job. You're slinging fucking burgers and fries for nothing. I get it. But go to Wendy's at 11:00 PM and see what's happening, see what's doing at that Wendy's, and then go into their bathroom and see if you want to be an outside dumper. You want to be an outside dumper after you visit a Wendy's bathroom? That's on you, my friend. Not for me. I go to the Ritz Carlson, and I'm afraid to take a shit. You know what I'm saying? I want to tell you about seeing Pete Davidson. Oh, that's right. Over the weekend, a couple of Saturdays ago. Yeah, it was. All right, so let's take a break and we'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Christina. Again. Here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast. Com for all things audio, video, and T-C-B-D-O. Give us a follow on Instagram at the Commercial Break and on TikTok at T-C-B podcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number.

I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last T-C-B phone number you will ever have to remember. So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3-T-C-B. Once more for the people in the back, that's 1, 2, 4333TCB. Oh, and check out our YouTube channel at youtube. Com/thecommercialbreak. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. Okay. I'm not 100% sure, but I think Christina has the new phone numbers in the liners now. She has new liners. But just in case you're still stuck on that old phone number, I want you to remember that due to Our phone. Com's incompetency, we now have a brand new phone number, our fifth one in the history of the commercial break. It is, and it's ours. We own it forever and ever. Amen. We'll probably not be a show forever and ever. Amen. Maybe not even for two more weeks. But 212 433 3TCB. That's 1212 433 3TCB. Questions, comments, concerns, content, ideas, you get it. Okay.

It goes directly to a phone. It does.

Our studio phone. Our studio phone. Standing right there.

Sitting far away from us.

Sitting far away from the studio. I don't know who it was, but one of our guests the other day was like, Now I'm talking to you guys from your basement. I was like, Does it look like we're in our basement? Most people are complementary, but someone saw right through us. They were like, From your basement. I am scrolling through Instagram a number of weeks ago. As you do. As I do. Oh, man, do I? You do. Yes. Before I tell the Pete Davidson story, I'm scrolling through Instagram and I follow this person who is the anti-influencer influencer. Her whole life on social media has been dedicated to being the anti-influencer influencer. She will make duck faces, she will stick her ass out in pictures, and she's generally trying to be, I think it's like she's trying to be a little satirical about this and say that, I can't believe all these girls with the fillers and the liners and the hairs and the blah, blah, blah, blah, they're all trying to be influencers. So thirsty, thirsty, thirsty, thirsty this. Then I wake up the other day. By the way, she's been saying this forever, but then she's posting these pictures, and they're a little too on the nose, if you know what I mean.

It's like she'll say that she's the anti-influencer influencer, but why are we showing... Why are we posing like this? I believe she's embarrassed by her own behavior, so She has to make it look satirical because even she feels like she's a little thirsty. And whatever you do with your Instagram is up to you. I don't give a shit. I'm not a hater. I just find it very funny because the other day I wake up. Now, I'm not going to describe the pose because I don't want necessarily... I don't want this to come back in any way, shape, or form. I don't want to embarrass anybody in any way, shape, or form. But we've talked about this before on the show. I wake up and this girl is half fucking naked on Instagram and Jam Jam. I normally don't post pics like this, but I wanted you to see the results of my working out. I mean, this was Am I right? It was a rather risque photo. Yeah. It was not something that I think- I wouldn't send my dad that picture and say, Hey, look at me.

No. Look at... I've been working out.

I think she's married.

Look at me.

Yeah, I know. Look at me. I've been working out. Here's my undercarriage, which is basically what the picture was. Undercarriage. Not even a good cleavage pick. It was undercarriage. It's the post, the girls who are on Instagram doing the yoga poses when it has nothing to do with yoga and everything to do with the fact that you can see their vagina through their fucking yoga pants. You get it, you've seen it, we do it. Some inspirational quote down behind it. I just thought to myself, the fucking hypocrisy that we also probably do all the time, too, but the fucking hypocrisy. It was so fucking funny to me. I had to send it to Chrissy immediately. I was like, Chrissy, look at this. Thirstrap, thirstrap, thirstrap. I guess we've gone from anti-influencer to full fucking influencer. By the way, she got like 12 followers, so I don't know who she's influencing, but so do we. I'm not going to throw stones in a glass house.

I got to scrolling- Well, if you're going to go to me, and I think I brought this up in the text back to you, to me, if you're going to go full Thirst Trap, go all the way. Amen. Show your face, show the whole thing and say, Look at me.

She was covering her face.

Yeah, don't go halfway in.

Well, I don't think you go out tonight without pants on. But I mean, that's just... And it's another bathroom selfie, which is the most... Which is the strangest part about all the postings of this particular person. They are always in public bathrooms somewhere. So she's in a public bathroom.

Maybe she's an outside dumper.

She's an outside dumper for sure. She takes pleasure in outside dumping. She's like, Let me take a quick shit, and then I'm going to snap a photograph of my ass and send it out there to the world. Just lost 12 pounds outside dumper.

#outsidumper #outsidumper.

Listen, no shame if you're an outside dumper. It's just not for me. It's not for me. I'm an inside dumper. I like to dump inside my own house. I like to remove the contents of my tummy here in the comfort and privacy of my own home. A couple of weeks ago, scrolling through Instagram, and I see Pete Davidson's mug, but it's one of those sponsored posts. I was like, Oh, it's Which is what Pete up, too. Which hot chic is he dating now? It says down below, Working out new material. Click here. I was like, Working out new material? Click here. What is that? Now I'm thinking it's just click bait, but I'm bought in now. I see Pete I'm like, Okay, let me see. So I click over. He took the bait. I took the bait. I did. I took the click bait. Absolutely. It's Pete Davidson. I take the bait. I don't know. He seems like the guy you take the bait for. So I click over and what happened or where I went was this tiny little comedy club north of Atlanta, not in the city of Atlanta, definitely not in the city of Atlanta, north of Atlanta.

And Pete is putting on two performances, and I guess working out new material is either the name of the show or what I'm really assuming is that he's working out new material for his next special. He's going to do that in small rooms where he can throw the stuff at the wall. A lot of people do that. Of course, everybody does it. Jerry Seinfeld still does it. He says, I'm going to do a new hour. I hit the clubs and I go around New York, and Chris Rock, everybody does it because that way you have to figure out the timing. You have to hone in the jokes that are working. Musicians do it, too. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. I just saw Rolling Stones the other day at Buffalo Wild wings. Right. Yeah, they're working on their album. It's Eddie Vedder's over at the Shake Shack tomorrow night for his new solo record.

No, I meant they do it in obscure cities. To of the stars. Yes.

I do remember when Rolling Stone did that tour of Small Club. They have 75 albums, but they had this one album, I don't know, maybe 10 years ago. They were going to these tiny little rooms to play acoustically, to work out their new music. I think, if I'm not mistaken, they came here to Atlanta and played one of the small rooms around here. That's an amazing opportunity, right? If you can actually get a ticket, what an amazing opportunity to see someone that you like up close and personally.

Well, I mean, Pete Davidson is the rolling Stones of comedy.

He's the rolling Stones of people who got famous for dating famous people. But he also was on set at the Night Live, and he has gotten a chuckle or two out of me. I generally think Pete's an okay guy. All right, I don't feel anything about Pete one way or the other up until this performance. I don't feel anything. Here we go. Tiny little club north of Atlanta. You got tickets. I got tickets. Pete's going to... I got tickets. There's only 100 tickets in the entire room. It's a tiny room. I managed to get two seats. Esther and I decide we're going to go. The show's at 10:00 PM. We get a babysitter, unbelievably. I know. Un unbelievably. I can't believe it. The babysitter will be important here in a second. We get a babysitter for this, let us go out between 8:00 and midnight. There's a second show at 11:55 I should also mention. I thought, okay, for this amount of money, which wasn't a small amount of money, but it wasn't crazy either. For this amount of money, I'm going to get 30 to 40 minutes of Pete Davidson working on new material.

At the very least, it's going to be entertaining. Sure. It might not be hilarious.

That's always better in person.

We're right there. We're sitting 15 feet from Pete. He's going to be working out some new material. I'm sure he's going to have something interesting to I'll be entertained at the very least. If I get a chuckle or two out of it, well, then that's good news, too. I don't think anybody would argue that Pete, as a stand-up comic, doesn't exactly have a huge long resume. It's not like he had 13 Netflix specials or something like that. I know he's got the one special. But I thought, Well, okay, let's go give this guy a try. It's interesting. He's here. I'm 15 feet. We're seeing the Rolling Stones. Not seeing the Rolling Stones, but it's seeing the Rolling Stones right there. So day comes around, Saturday night, Aster and I pop in the car. Kids are sleeping, lovely, jump in the car, and we drive, I don't know, maybe 30 minutes from the house to a part of Atlanta that is maybe not known as the best part of Atlanta. It's not the rolling hills of Hollywood, California. It's not Buckhead, Atlanta. It is off the beaten path.

Well, it's part of the Metro. It's part of the Metro, but it's seen better days. How about that?

Yeah, I think so. It's seen better days or it will see better days. One of them two is happening.

It's in a transition.

It's definitely a transitional neighborhood. But I explained to Astrid, I said, These comedy clubs, they don't have Pete Davidson every night, so they don't make a ton of money. You get 100 people in a room paying $50 a ticket. You've made $5,000, a two-item minimum. Maybe you make another $5,000 on cheap food and cheap liquor. So you're making $10,000 on the best night of the year inside of this Comedy Club. You got to have cheap rent, and you just got to hope you survive from one show to the next, because probably most shows, it's less than 20 people in the room. We pull up to this strip mall in this not-so-great part of town. I am telling you what, Chrissy, I am instantaneously nervous because there are a lot of people that are mulling around. I think to myself, wow, there's a lot of people mulling around at 11:00 PM at night. Here I am pulling up with Astrid, and I just hope that I'm safe. Not that I had any reason to be concerned, but it was unfamiliar territory. Sure. Let's put it that way. The strip mall has coin laundermats, lots of empty spaces.

What looked like it once may have been a Cole's is now a thrift store owned by the guy who collects a lot of stuff. You know what I'm saying? Old washer and dryer parts, just in case you need them. We pull up, and outside, there's a number of police officers. You're like, okay, at least they know this. You got to put, let's be safe about this.

Let's add a little security.

Pull up. We're a little bit early, but they told us to be there early. They said, be there early. It's going to be a process to get in the show. You got to be there early. Be there at least 30 minutes early. Esther and I are there 45 minutes early. We're one of the first people inside the club. Here we are, imagine this, walking into this dark, dingy strip mall place, and we walk in the front door.

There's a big- You're like, come on, Esther. I'm taking you out.

Hey, baby. I got one hell of a night plan.

We haven't been out in forever.

We're going to go to the gun range, only it's not a range. It's just where people shoot. Everybody shoots because we're all out to carry guns in Georgia. No matter what, don't worry about it. Carry your gun everywhere. I probably should have carried a gun. We walk up, we get close parking, so that's good. Police officers are right there, so that's extra good because Esther doesn't deal well in some of these situations. She's got some PTSD from Venezuela. We walking in, red velvet rope, but we didn't have to wait because we're one of the first people in there. We go in, they scan, they ask for our ID. The ID has to be connected to the name on the ticket. It's a whole process getting in. Then we go through security, which is a very nice off-duty police officer, I must mention. But he gives me the full pat down up into my crotch and everything as if I'm being arrested. I just didn't have to put my hands on the wall. I just had to put them directly up in the air. In Trust me, I know this position, so I'm like, All right, don't reach for anything.

Don't make any sudden movements. I've been here before. I've been here before. I know how to do this. Hey, I'm part of the Five Time Club. Here we go. All right. Hands up. So I put my hands up. He gives me the full Proctor exam. He's just giving it to me. And he's like, I'm sorry, man. And I go, Hey, listen, if you're buying me a drink later, I'm cool. But he goes, Now I got to deal with everybody. I'm like, No, I understand. Totally. Cool. All right. So we get into this room. Now, imagine a room, let's call it 20 by 20, not a particularly bigger, a little bigger than this studio that we're sitting in here right now, which is tiny, by the way. There's two couches lining each end of the wall. There's a big desk, like a desk, the hostess desk for a restaurant, but it's big. It's like six feet long, and it has two double doors behind it. So I'm imagining there's the club, it's in there. There is a guy standing behind. There's a lot of security in the room. There's a couple of us that have come for the show.

And then there is a huge, and when I say huge, Christie, he must have been 600 pounds guy standing behind that desk. And he's like, All right, listen up. Absolutely No phones. Sold out show. Buy your food early. Get your check 50 minutes before the show ends. Do you understand? We're like, Yeah, okay. Watches, cell phones, electronic items, security cameras, pacemakers, brain implants, screws and plates and legs and knees all need to go in a bag, a Yonder bag. Absolutely no telephone communications during any part of the show. I'm like, All right, dude, we got it. Then out come the Yonder people, the Yonder bags. You know what I'm talking about? Those locked bags that they do. We I have a babysitter. I'm like, Oh, shit. We got a babysitter. So instantaneously, the lady comes up, Hey, I need to check your phone and then your watch. I thought I'd get away with the watch. The watch, yeah. You know what I did? I had this code on, so I slid it on my arm a little bit. I did this number while she wasn't looking, I shook my hand a little bit. She found it.

I was like this. Yeah. Then she goes, Do you have a watch on? I was like, Do I have a watch on? That's what I said. I go, Do I? I'm holding my hand up like this. I'm holding the coat on my fingers. You told me, Do I? Yeah. Like a three-year-old. I got my coat over my hands. Do I? I don't think so. I don't remember. I can't remember if I put on a watch today. Let me check when I get in there. I'll let you know. All right. I give her the watch, we stuff it into this Yonder. This poor Yonder bag is like, I can't take anymore. I've got my watch in there. I got my phone in there. But I quickly dial through the phone and I'm like, Okay, I got the baby's first phone number. Let me turn on emergency contact real quick. So at least we'll get some notification. Astrid says, Well, make sure that it's on buzz. And I go, Yeah, the lady's standing right there. And I'm like, Yeah, it's on buzz. Is buzz okay? And she's like, Well, as long as it doesn't make any noise, right?

As long as it's buzzing. And she goes, And you can always come back out. I'll open it for you if you need to check or whatever. And I'm like, Oh, thank you so much. Emergency. But I know, I know. She doesn't know, but I know that when I put on my emergency contacts, that phone is ringing. It is ringing, and I will hear it, and I don't give two fucks who said what? Because it's my children. I know my babysitter is not going to call unless it's an absolute emergency. Okay, so phone's on buzz except for emergency contacts. Watches away. Everybody's happy. We go, we sit down at the table. They open these doors. And, Chrissy, it is the strangest... Comedy. It's the strangest room I've ever been in, period, in the sentence. There are paintings on the wall of people, all like the face paintings of people, with these weird colored bubbles around their head. It is surreal painting, but I can't make out who one of those people is. I'm sure they're supposed to be famous people, but I cannot make- Bubbles like small bubbles or like they've got an astronaut bubble head?

No, like small Okay. I don't know if... Imagine if my head is the actual picture, the bubbles are this big, the size of my hand. But they're placed- Biger than your eyes? Yeah, way bigger than my head. They're placed all around the face. So you can make out the face, the silhouette of the face, But it's not immediately apparent who it was. I spent the next 20 minutes trying to figure out who any of these people were. Of course. Like, has someone been famous?

They were photographs or they were paintings? No, they were paintings.

But they were pretty realistic renditions. If it had been someone famous, I don't know, Chris Rock, somebody, somebody you would have known, I would have been able to tell, but I could not for the life of me figure out who it was. Now, the room has seven tables up front, seven tables right behind them, two foot tables, two feet wide, and then five chairs along each table. We've got, I don't know, whatever it is. Do the math. It's carry the one, seven, 16,000 people in this one room. I am sitting right next to, right across from Ashron on this table. Are they round tables? No, they're straight, like card tables. Oh, okay. But like card tables that have been cut in half. There was no room. You could barely put your elbow. You know the airplanes, how they have those little dividers? It felt like that width, like you were uncomfortable. Like, if I put my elbow there. Then these terrible chairs. Listen, it wasn't great. There was a smell in the room, a smell like dirty feet. There was a bar This is the side. Smoked from 10 years ago. God, it was just weird and disgusting.

But I'm not here for the room, and I understand it's got to be hard to make a Comedy Club work. I'm here to see Pete Davidson. There's a DJ booth in back, and the guy is playing a weird mix of Trap and Eña. I swear to God he is. It's on just loud enough so you have to speak up when you're talking, but just low enough that you can't really make out which song it is. But it's like, I, I, I, I, I don't know what's going on. I have no idea. I'm like, what? He looks like he's doing having fun back there. He's got his one earphone on like, But there's no wiki, wiki, wiki going on. It's just him playing this weird music on top of other weird music. I thought, okay, it's a vibe. I don't know what vibe it is, but it's a vibe.

Something confusing vibe because you can't make out who's on the walls. Well, I was confused. You can't make out the music.

It was so strange.

You can't put your elbow down.

Yes, it was so strange. Stage up front, two, three feet, riser, and then on the back wall, there's two red velvet curtains to the floor, and then this big sign that says the name of the Comedy Theater. I'm like, Oh, okay. Interesting. The decor in there, I don't know how to explain it. It looked like It looked like my basement when I was 13 years old. We got really high, put a couple of those glow in the dark posters, some mood lighting, and then just really paint the walls black because I don't know, that's just the thing to do. There's really a weird essence going on in this room. The mix in the crowd as that people start filing in, it was some of the most fun people watching I've done since I've been to the airport because it was all kinds of people. Black, white, yellow, green, big, small, short, tall. It was everybody. Everybody was there. Guys with guys, girls with girls, the girls out, single girls out for one. There was one girl who... There were seats up front, and there was one girl by herself that she made it known when she came in the club that she was there by herself.

I thought to myself, this girl wants to get at Pete. She was dressed, boop, cha-cha's out the whole night. Yards. And she was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, to everybody. I thought, Oh, there she is. There's Pete Stalker walking right in the door. Kim Kardashian, too, walking in the door. Or maybe she was someone famous, and I just didn't know. Then you had the four white guy comics, and you know that they were white guy comics because two were already seated and two came in the door. Give me a brewsky, 420. They're like cracking jokes. Each time I could hear them crack a joke, I use this line on the... They were talking loud enough that everybody around them knew that they had been on a stage before they, Oh, yeah. One time I used that set at the punchline. It was One time on my podcast. That's what I thought. I thought, Okay, I'm going to go for it. Let me start screaming about the podcast. All right, so we're getting to the show. Let me tell you about it, and we'll do that right after these messages. I'm using this against you now.

I'm wielding it as a tool. Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath, and now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number That's right. It's 212-433-3TCB, and you can text us anytime you want, or you can call and leave us a voicemail, and we might just use your message on the show once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on tcbpodcast. Com. Now, I'm going to thank G one more time that we have sponsors. So thank G, and here they are. Okay, so the witching hour is upon. You can tell. It took a long time for the room to fill up, but I think that was because it was this four-step process to get inside. To get in. Yeah. In that sense, I was glad. We were the first ones in the door, literally. Then in that sense, I was glad they were the first ones in the door because you know how much I like waiting around in line.

I hate it. Did you get to choose your seat? No, it was assigned We're on one of the back tables where if you're out at the stage looking right, we're at the right side, we're over near this right-hand bar, but we are right in between. We're at the end of the table where the next table starts, and the hallway or the walkway to get between those two tables is not but two feet wide. I have these gangly fucking legs. I'm not particularly tall, but I'm all leg. I'm trying to get to a comfortable position, but everybody's stepping on my feet. It happened every three seconds, a waitress was stepping on my feet, and at some point, I just had to give up. I was like, Whatever. I couldn't move backwards because it was a girl literally breathing down my neck the entire time. I had three sorority sisters behind me, and then a single guy who had friends in the room, but they were at a different table. He got that extra ticket, the last minute extra ticket, and he was hitting on them hard. I mean, hard. He's like, So we're bringing you to Atlanta.

And they're like, Well, we live here. And he's like, Oh, yeah, I live here, too. I got some friends that are over there. What are you guys doing after the show? And these girls are like, I don't I'm going to go back to the sorority house. I don't know. We're going to go back to this sorority house. I don't know.

We're cover where you're not.

Yeah, you're not. I am. We'll see you later. This guy was like... At one point, he went to the bathroom and he was waving at his friend. His friend was waving to him back and he's like, he's pointing toward the bathroom, and then they get up and go to the bathroom together. It took them at least 12 minutes to get back to the room. I knew exactly what was going on. A little toot, snoot, and boogie. You know what I'm talking about? A little toot, snoot, and boogie. All right, so now I can feel the witching hour is upon us. Rooms filling. There's not a particular mood. Everyone's just talking and mingling. The guy's playing weird music in the background. They're trying to figure out who the paintings are. Everyone's trying to figure out who the paintings are. Then finally, the guy says, In five minutes, you're going to see the show of a lifetime at Pete David dead. Remember, absolutely no flash photography. Anybody who has flash photography will be arrested on site, shot and killed. Don't talk about it. Don't look at him. Don't think about him. He's We're like, Okay, did we get it?

All right, we got it. We all have our phones locked in this fucking bag. What do you want us to do? Right? Meanwhile, they have menus on the table, but they only put two menus per table. So we've got to share the menu around. You have to buy two things. But they do have convenient table toppers, you know those little table toppers? Yes. With the QR code says, Scan here for menu. Oh, great. And I'm like, How the fuck do you want me to scan here for menu? Yeah. So, Wishing Hour, and then Astrid is like, Oh, no. What? The phone is buzzing. I'm like, Okay, all right, the phone's buzzing. Well, it could be. Could be the babysitter. Could be. Could just be American Express, reminding me that I haven't paid my bill in a couple of months. I don't know. What do we And so she's like, and I'm like, the obligatory husband thing, I'm like, Do you want me to go outside and check? Because it's a whole fucking production. Do you want me to go outside and check? Would you? Sure, babe. No problem. I scoot myself along this two-foot path while It's like a plane.

People are coming toward me and I got to move over to the side. The inconvenience, everybody.

Like, in somebody's lap.

Exactly. Yes, I know. I'm basically on my ass in someone's face while it's so weird and uncomfortable. It just really was. The comfort level in this place was zero, but I was optimistic that the show was going to be good. I get out, I check it. Of course, it is American Express. Then I come back and I'm like, No, just someone we owe money to. Talk to you later. Yeah. So lights go down. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Pete Davidson and Friends. And I was like, And Friends? I didn't buy an And Friends ticket. I bought a Pete Davidson ticket. What do you mean and Friends? And I think everyone was a little stunned because we were all like, and friends.

Who are the friends?

Now, welcome all the way from New Jersey. Schmuckety, bookety, whatever, whoever the guy's name was. I'm not going to mention the comic because I'm about to tell the story, and I felt really terrible for the guy. Guy comes out. He's obviously out of his element. He comes out. This may be his shtick. I don't know. I've never seen him before. The face looked familiar, but I don't know. He comes out and he's like, Hey, Atlanta, is this whole town cracky or is it just this side of the town? And everyone's like, Oh. And then he goes, I'm serious. This is the weirdest fucking place I've I've never seen. I don't know. I've done doing comedy for 26 years, and I've never seen a comedy club shittier than this. I thought to myself, wow, way to ingratiate yourself right out of the door. Not going to give his whole set, but the I bombed spectacularly to the point where he was telling jokes and I was the only one laughing in the entire room. I got his vibe. His vibe was a little bit off kilter. He wanted to catch you on your back foot a little bit.

His timing might have been a little bit off, but I actually thought he was very funny, but no one else did. I mean, no one else. Then he started with crowd work because I think he knew his set had gone sideways. He didn't do a great job of connecting his jokes. So he started telling these one-off jokes. Then he started doing crowd work. And not even the people he was doing the crowd work with were engaging with him. I thought to myself, Please. This is going to be a long fucking night for all of us if no one's laughing. No one's laughing. So this guy bombed. At the end of the set, he goes, Honestly, this is the best show I've ever done. This is as good as it's ever been. I just could not stop laughing. I thought it was so funny how self-effacing he was. He gets off stage. Next guy comes out. This is his shticked. His shticked is, I am going to shock you and then make you laugh. He gets out there. He's got this dopey stone personality. He's probably in his 30s and cute-looking kid, and he's like, A cute-looking kid.

I'm 80 years older than him. He goes, Israel, Hamas. Yeah, I'll talk about it. Then he starts going into it. Then he's like, I'm giving an example. I don't want to give his set away, but he was like, Abortion. Yeah, all right. Why not? Let's talk about it. So his whole shtick was, let's talk about super controversial things. He got the crowd worked up. Now the crowd is laughing and ooing and laughing and ooing and like, Oh, wow.

Right.

Oh, that genocide is funny. We're amongst friends. We can laugh about it. He also makes mention. He's like, I don't know who decorated this place, but I felt like it's my blind grandpa. He goes, I don't want to talk about the art, but And then everyone starts laughing. He's like, Oh, you all are already talking about the art. You know, I don't need to say it. I thought that was such a funny line. You all are already talking about it. I don't need to say it. So he gets a crowd worked up for 10 minutes, and then on time for the big show. It's Pete Davidson. I'm not going to repeat his jokes because if he's working on new material, I don't want to be the asshole who's out there repeating his new material. That reveals everything. There's a reason why he didn't want phones in there. And I'm not going to be... And besides, I'm not, could never be as funny as Pete was. Because I do have to say this. I didn't expect much, but I came out of there really fucking rooting for Pete. I mean, Pete- Nice. Entertained. He was sincere at moments.

He was entertaining always. He was hilarious most of the time. He told stories about his personal life, including Kim and Kanye. He told the story about how he drove into the house. Remember he drove into a house about a year ago? Yes. Yeah. He told the story about how he drove into the house and how that all happened and what got reported, but what actually happened, which it's his side of the story, I'm sure. The time he called Pita and said, Fuck you, you a bunch of cunts. You remember that? Yeah. He explained why he needed a hypoallergenic dog. He's like, You go to the pound and try and find a fucking labradoodle. I dare you. He was so funny. He was so good. He was so engaging. It felt like you were talking to him. That's good. It felt like you were just having a conversation with Pete Davidson. He had a way of really making the room much smaller than it was. Trust me, it was already pretty fucking small. Pete was spot on, and he lit up the room. I mean, people were dying laughing, and I was one of them. He won me over.

The guy won me over.

Maybe we can get him for the interview.

I'd love to have him on the interview, but he doesn't have a cell phone, so it's hard to reach him. He doesn't have a cell phone. I didn't know this because of his mental health. He doesn't have a cell phone. He talked a a lot about his mental health issues. He said he doesn't drive much because he's always fucked up.

Some other people should follow in those steps.

Yeah, probably Brian should be one of them, or maybe an American Express. It seems like they have a problem, too. You're so stalky when it's time for my bill to come do. I've gotten less text messages from eight crazy ex-girlfriends. Swear to God, I have. I have to tell you, Pete fucking killed it. He absolutely killed it.

Sometimes when you go in with a lower expectation, you are pleasantly surprised. Yeah.

So Pete comes out, and now I'm thinking to myself, I don't have a good sense of time because I have no watch I've checked in almost 2 hours, right? But I know he's got another show at 11:55. So my thought is they need at least 30 minutes to turn the room. They got to get everybody out, clean it up.

Go through the whole process.

Yeah, and then do it all over again. So I'm thinking 11:15 is probably the latest this show is going to go. Now these first two guys probably took 10 to 12 minutes themselves, and they started a little bit late. In my mind, they started a little bit late. Now I'm thinking, Oh, we got maybe 25 minutes with Pete, right? Maybe 25 minutes with Pete. Sure. He starts going down this road talking about the story about the car. I thought that was it. He's just working on this piece of his hour-long special, right? This is going to be the piece that he works on. He kept going and going and going and going. He even asked somebody on the side of the stage, he's like, Can I have five more minutes? I want to tell one more story to these guys. Can I have five He was feeling it. Yeah, he was feeling it. He was. He was feeling it. He's like, I really want to tell this one more thing. I really want to say this about Kanye, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada. He's feeling it. We get out of the room and we get that.

First of all, it's like deep planing, right? Everyone's got to shuffle out. Of course, we're the first ones in, so we're the last ones out. We're trying to squeeze through this crowd. Then you got your Yonder bag opened up. So by the time we get our Yonder bag opened up, it's 12:15. When we leave the club, that velvet rope, that red rope, sure did come in handy because now there are people lined up down the strip mall to get in. You could tell they're not too plussed about having stood out. The show is supposed to start at 11:55. It's 12:15. They probably got off stage at 2:30 in the morning. But I wanted to mention one more thing. I do want to say one thing about what Pete said, and I'll repeat this, and Pete, I apologize to you if this is a super thing you want to keep secret. Pete mentioned his story about Kanye, about how him and Kanye got into it. He said this about Kanye. He said, Kanye has Grammys. He's written albums. He's got more money than God. He married Kim Kardashian. He's got children. He's got that clothing brand that you guys keep buying.

I don't know why. He says, But at the end of the day, Kanye is a human being, and everybody fucks with him. He goes, Kanye was one of the first people that made other people feel comfortable, celebrities, about coming out with their mental health issues. He goes, And when people found out, they spent about a month going, Good for you, Kanye. Then they started fucking with him and fucking with him, and fucking with him. He's like, There is no good day for Kanye. No one says anything nice to him. No one comes at him in a nice way. They're all looking to prod him into some action that makes him look like an asshole so they can get clicks. He's like, In this sense, I feel for Kanye, he's bored, he's stressed, he's tired, and there's no good energy coming his way. When Kanye says, I love Hitler, he doesn't really love Hitler. He's trolling you. He's bored. He wants to garner some reaction that's going to make his day a little bit more exciting than the normal bullshit he goes through. I'm not sure I believe 100% of what Pete said, but it made me think about the whole Kanye situation just a little bit differently because, yeah, he's a human being with mental health issues, and everybody fucks with him.

Good night.

Hey. Well, that's that. Everybody, keep up with your mental health.

Yeah, keep up with your mental health.

If you need medication, there's no shame in taking it. No.

One other thing he said, I don't want to give too much away, but one other thing he said is a Imagine me without medication. He goes, I'm like this with medication because I take my medication. He goes, Imagine me without medication. That's Kanye. He goes, Kanye just won't take his medication.

A lot of people do that.

A lot of people. We know this from our personal life experiences. People close to us, Christie and I, we both have mental illness.

A lot of times people get on medication and then they feel better, so they think they don't need it. But the reason they feel better is because they're taking it.

Because they're taking it. That's right. Keep taking it. Yeah, I've seen that cycle a couple of times with people that I know, with people that I've dated. They feel good because they're taking their medication. So they say, Oh, I don't need my medication anymore. But what's making you feel good is a medication. I'm not saying everybody should take medication for every little issue. No, no, no, no, no, that if you need it, there's no shame in taking it. Go ahead, take it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Especially if you're displaying erratic behavior and saying awful things.

Yeah, I think Kanye is on the high end of erratic behavior. Yeah, he really says some shit that's way out there that I completely don't agree with. But then he'll say a few things that I do agree with. He'll be like, well, I don't want to get it. He said some things and you're like, wow. Yeah, absolutely. You're right, Kanye. But then he says something really fucking crazy. And this is along the lines of something Pete was saying. He said something really fucking crazy and everybody's like, oh, oh. I agree with two of the three things.

Well, that's good to know about Pete, though. I'll be looking forward to seeing the new special.

If you get a chance and he comes to a town near you, I promise he won't disappoint. That's my two cents. I'm throwing it out there. I walked in feeling like, Whatever. Let's see what this is about.
