A
Feel pretty, you know, awful inside but.
- [00:05]
B
I'm enjoying myself because I have got.
- [00:08]
A
Some new friends and it's pretty strict. But I think I'll be alright. On this episode of the commercial break.
- [00:23]
B
Well, it all does go back to P. Diddy.
- [00:25]
A
It all comes back to P. Diddy. It all comes back to baby oil. This is a conspiracy by big Oil Baby oil. Big corporate baby oil. Big corporate baby oil wants us to believe that P. Diddy was the reason Baby oil was sold out during the pandemic. But no, no, don't you believe it for a second. Big baby oil knows different. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. 2:30 in the. Oh yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you Chrissy.
- [01:10]
B
Best to you Brian.
- [01:11]
A
You're the shrimp paste on my mango. What else can I say? There you go. Chrissy and I doing hard research here.
- [01:18]
B
We learned a new delicacy.
- [01:19]
A
Yes, we learned a new delicacy. Shrimp paste and mango. Mango. Mango. Mango. Which sounds like it tastes like puke in my mouth. That's what it sounds like. But hey, who am I to judge? There are different cultures and different foods for everybody. What's this? I think we've asked this before but what is the strangest food you think you've ever put in your mouth?
- [01:38]
B
Yeah, I don't know, I can't remember. I mean I've eaten like probably it would be maybe related to the sushi world.
- [01:47]
A
Yeah.
- [01:48]
B
But I can't.
- [01:48]
A
For me it's got to be live baby octopus or beef heart. One of the two.
- [01:52]
B
I haven't had either one of those.
- [01:53]
A
Yeah, that's the whole like. Yeah. I went to a beautiful restaurant and on Berkeley, near Berkeley in San Francisco. We were just kind of traveling around the campus like area over there in that retail district, going in and out of record stores. I mean they do have some really fantastic places, little out of the way places there. And we went down some alleyway, down some stairs and don't ask me how we got there. But then there was like a door that we opened and then there was. We were all of a sudden in this dark damp basement and there was like a paper door that we like slid open, one of those like real Japanese doors and there was a restaurant no bigger than this room. And I'm not even kidding, there was like 12, 13, maybe 15 seats in there.
- [02:38]
B
Hidden secrets.
- [02:38]
A
I know two top tables, like four of them, and then, like, bar chairs around, and they had a window, but it went nowhere. It's just like a window to a brick wall. And it looked authentically Japanese because it was authentically Japanese. So Japanese that no one there spoke English, at least not to us, they didn't. Right. And the menu is in Japanese. And I'm not even sure that they had a. Like, I'm not even sure the health department had ever visited. But, I mean, it looked clean enough. It looked wonderful. And so at the time, you know, I was up for a challenge. I said, all right, let's eat here. The lady that I was with, the young lady that I was with, loved sushi. That was her thing. And so I was like, okay, let's. Let's do an authentic experience. So we get this menu. It's all in Japanese. I have no fucking clue. And there's some pictures, but it doesn't. None of it looks like stuff I would eat, right? And so I asked the waiter in English, because I know no Japanese. Give us what the chef would give us. Get the. Give us the chef.
- [03:36]
B
The chef's tasting.
- [03:37]
A
And eventually, after, like, some hand gestures and drawing pictures with a pencil, I.
- [03:43]
B
Think he figured out food in mouth.
- [03:45]
A
Yeah, food in mouth, chef. You know, chop, chop, chop, chop. Yeah, Dumb American need. Worst food you have for most price. So he got it. He was like, ah, sucker born. Every day, here they come. And the first course comes out. Fine, whatever. It's some kind of, I think, calamari, koit, squid, something not cooked, but okay. All right. You know, you put some. There's a little sauce with it. Ate it. A little spicy, little sweet. I liked it. Very good. Next one comes out. It is a plate with ice on it. And then there are, like. I don't know how to describe it. You know how sometimes if you eat escargot, you'll get it in those. Like. Like a plate with little bowls in them. Like little, tiny little bowls.
- [04:29]
B
I've seen escargot, but I have not eaten escargot.
- [04:31]
A
Oh, that's pleasantry. That I could skip altogether. Escargot, not my favorite. So in there were. And it was like the ice was like. There was some dry ice. It was like, you know, that kind of smoke coming out from it. And he put it down, and in there was what looked like a baby octopus, right? Little. Little tiny octopi. And I was like, oh, okay, all right. I like a little octopi. I don't mind that. That's good, right? It didn't look cooked, but okay, whatever. Surely they're not going to give me anything that's going to kill me. Surely. And then as I went to go grab the chopsticks, as I picked one up, I realized that the tentacles were wiggling.
- [05:11]
B
They were swimming. It was swimming. Was it in water?
- [05:13]
A
No, no, no, no. It was just in the ice. Yes. They were so chilled that they were like sleeping. Right. They were like in that state of, oh, shit. My body just shut down. Because, of course, it's a cold blooded animal, so it just kind of just went to sleep, I guess. I don't know, Chrissy, because all I know is now I'm in it. Now I'm there. Now the girl I'm with is challenging. Like, now it's a challenge. And she was a challenge altogether, right?
- [05:37]
B
Right. Yes, she was. And you love a good challenge.
- [05:39]
A
I do love a good challenge. I wasn't gonna back down from this. Listen, I'm not the most manly man in the world, but when someone puts me to a test, I. I don't know. I don't. I very rarely turn down something really idiotic like, I'm just gonna go ahead and do it. Yeah. And as I'm putting it in my mouth, it is coming back to life. It is like, oh, God. And I was like, oh, shit. This is live baby octopus. And I put it in my mouth and it squiggled around and I could feel it and I swallowed it. I just, I didn't take any bites. I swallowed it and I could feel it squiggling in the back of my throat. Absolutely terrible. There was nothing, like, I don't remember a taste to it, but I remember all of the texture. She did not. Bitch. I was like, oh, my God. Come on, you gotta be kidding me. So there were, I think, five of them in this little thing. And we just left four of them sitting there. And eventually they really started to squiggle around and I was like. And then so the waiter came back and I was like, those are alive. Like, those are not cooked alive. And he was just like, you know, he's like, bowed to me like I had done something great. And, you know, hey, listen. But then as the night wore out, as the night went on, I noticed that we weren't the only one who got this dish and there were other people who were eating it also. And I thought, wow. Wow, that's. That's brave. That is the freshest kind of sushi you can get, is the kind that's still alive. And it was not for sure.
- [07:00]
B
Yeah.
- [07:01]
A
Not pleasant at all. And I don't remember the rest of the meal being particularly pleasant either. What I do remember is, like, the 280bill I got in the end. I mean, it was expensive, of course. Yeah. Because when you have a restaurant with 10 seats, you're gonna have to charge everybody $2,000 in order to make it work. When you have even a room in a basement in Berkeley, you're gonna. It's gonna be expensive.
- [07:20]
B
Yes.
- [07:21]
A
And. Wow. That. So that for sure is at the top of my list. And then one time we went to a restaurant here, Cooks and Soldiers, which I love very much.
- [07:30]
B
I love cooks.
- [07:31]
A
Restaurant. We had the. I didn't know, but when I worked at Chili's, there was a waiter that I worked with there, and I considered him kind of a. Kind of a nudnik, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, not the smartest, sharpest tool in the shed, but he was nice enough. He just always seemed to need help doing something. Like rolling silverware was a challenge, you know what I'm saying? How do you roll this silverware again? You know, you'd be like, really, dude? It's. It's 50 cent silverware that you could bend with two fingers rolled in a piece of tissue paper. I mean, how hard can this be, right? And he. It just was always. Everything was a challenge. Where do we get the ramekins? They're sitting right in front of you. How do you put ice cream on a thing? And this one, for, like, years, he didn't know how to do anything. But then all of a sudden, he's like the general manager at this, really. And not all of a sudden, but like 10 years later, he's this general manager at this really nice restaura. And I was pleasantly surprised. I thought, wow, you failed up. You did. You found out where the ramekins go. Congratulations. You know, where the ramekins go. It's all great. But, you know, I think that. I think he knew that I felt like he was a little bit of a dumbass, like, back then. And so. But he treated us so wonderfully when we showed up to this restaurant. He was like, oh, my God, it's been years. What are you doing? I said, oh, here's my new wife. You know, this is ba, ba da da da da da. Everyone's very pleasant to each other. I thought, please, please don't talk about the cocaine margaritas. Please don't talk about the cocaine margaritas. Please don't bring up anything that ever happened Then, this is my new. This is. I had known as for all that long at the time. I think we were together for about a year, year and a half. And he said, oh, let me. Let me do it. You guys order the entrees. The rest, let me take care of it. Okie dokie, smokey pokey. First thing that comes out is some kind of carpaccio. Delicious, beautiful, lovely. Second thing that comes out is octopus, right? But actually cooked this time, right? So lovely, traditional Spanish way with a little paprika, salt, pepper, boiled. Lovely. And then the third thing that comes out, he says, I'm not going to tell you what this is. I just want you to try it first. You're going to love it. And Astrid smartly stayed away from it. And me and Rafa were there, and we were like, okay, it looked like a steak. Like, it looked like a piece of not like steak. Like, maybe like a. Like a liver, like a pate or something like that. And I thought to myself, this is foie gras. This is foie gras. This is what this is. And so we started eating it. It had a distinct flavor of blood. Like.
- [10:05]
B
Oh, I can imagine.
- [10:06]
A
Yeah. Like when you cut yourself, your finger, and you lick it, you know, it's like that irony taste. You can even smell it, right? That. You can smell that iron. And in the first bite that I took, I was like, oh, that tastes like I'm just drinking my own blood. That's. That's gross. And no, like, I don't know. Ten minutes later, he comes back. By the way, Rafa's gobbling it up. He's like, this is delicious. I love this. This is fantastic. And I'm like, of course. Of course. You lived in Costa Rica. You were literally picking stuff off the ground and eating it at one point, honestly, Rafa claimed he was growing jalapenos in Costa Rica one time. And he's like. He's like, you love jalapenos. I love jalapenos. And he brought something that didn't look like a jalapeno back to the house. He was, like, chopping it up, and I tasted it, and for, like, a week, I shat fire. It was not a jalapeno. It was something else, but it wasn't a jalapeno. Anyway, Rafa's gobbling it up. I'm trying to be polite because now this guy has given us something and he's being so nice.
- [11:05]
B
No, you feel obligated.
- [11:06]
A
I feel. Of course I do. So I'm Just kind of pushing it around my mouth, trying to swap. Trying not to. Like, it's not the worst flavor in the world, but it's certainly not something I'm enjoying. And then he comes back whenever. And the waiter was being coy with us, too. What do you think? And we're like, oh, yeah, it's great. What is it? And he's like, I don't know. You guys. Take a guess. And we're guessing all this. I'm like, it's foie gras. No, it's not foie gras. It's pat. It's not pate. It's goose lips. No, it's not. That's okay. All right. I'm like. I don't know. I'm. I'm at a loss. It's. It's some kind of liver. I'm sure of that. That's what it is. It's beef heart. And I was. And I know this is, like, a delicacy for some people, like, really like beef heart, but not for me. That was not for me. Bowls testicles. I've had those. The Rocky Mountain oysters. Those are.
- [11:50]
B
You've gone bold in your life.
- [11:52]
A
I have. I don't now. I stick to, like, you know, cream and cereal. I've had my moments in the sun. I've decided I will share that. Rocky Mountain oysters were not as good as some people claim, but not as bad as you would think. It is kind of somewhere in the middle, and they're fried. Like it's anything that's fried. Everything that's fried has kind of the same taste. It tastes like fried food. That's what it tastes like. What's the best bite of food you've ever had?
- [12:22]
B
Oh, God. I mean, probably there's been some sushi and maybe, like, a steak, you know?
- [12:29]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [12:29]
B
A really, really good steak.
- [12:31]
A
Yes.
- [12:31]
B
Rathbun's has a good steak.
- [12:33]
A
Rathbun's does have a good steak.
- [12:34]
B
Yeah. I don't know. You know, I love a good mashed potato, too.
- [12:39]
A
Oh, well, there you go. That's bold. Your favorite bite of food is a mashed potato.
- [12:44]
B
Creamy, buttery, salty mashed potato.
- [12:47]
A
Yeah, that's really good.
- [12:48]
B
You can think of all kinds of really good food.
- [12:51]
A
I think.
- [12:51]
B
I think it would hard to be narrowed down. Narrowed down. The best I've ever had.
- [12:54]
A
It's really hard. Yeah. Because I also think it has to do with the moment that you're in the place that you're at the company that you're keeping the smells in the restaurant that maybe even the tunes in the background. Like it all has to do with, I think the. There's two. One is a steak I had in. Not in Valencia, but a steak that I had in the. In the northern region of Spain. I can't remember the town that I was in specifically. Now they are known like Portugal, northern Spain, they are known for their steak, for their beef and, and the way that they age it and how they use every bit of the cow and how their cuts are perfect. And you know, that's what they do that. And for eons they've been doing it the same way. So we go to this town to go see Astrid's grandfather. Her grandfather has a best friend that lives down the street. So this best friend comes, Astrid, me, Astrid's father. Astrid's pre pregnant with Matthias at the time. With our child.
- [13:56]
B
No.
- [13:57]
A
And so here the, the whatever it is, the seven of us are. And Astrid's, she calls him an uncle, but it's not really an uncle. This best friend, right, is of Astrid's grandfather is so excited to take me to this restaurant to get this steak.
- [14:18]
B
Oh, that's nice.
- [14:19]
A
We drive a little bit outside of town, we go to this restaurant. It is a beautiful restaurant in this old building. It's rather large, kind of cavernous, well lit. It's the afternoon, there's not a lot of people there. They put us at this big round table every, you know, they come to take the order and the. Astrid, I'm gonna call it, say uncle, right? Says in Spanish, I got this, right? I got this. Let me order for you. And he's like, you want a steak? And I'm like, I want a steak. Give me a steak. He orders this steak and Chrissy, the food, the, the piece of meat, it's a cow. A cow shows up to the table, kills itself and then puts it on my plate. It is the biggest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. It is bigger than a tomahawk. It is the biggest steak I have ever seen. I'm not a big eater. Like I can eat when I'm super hungry, like anybody. I can eat a large amount of food. I do not. I cannot eat five pounds of meat in a city.
- [15:18]
B
Nor should you.
- [15:18]
A
This thing is huge and it is absolutely spectacular. It is delicious. Now I only took like six bites of it because there's only so much food that you can eat in one sitting. I only took six bites of it. And then of course I try to pay the check, but no one will allow me to do that because I just ordered a six. Someone just ordered a 600 steak for me. And, like, now I feel bad that I only took three bites of it. But, I mean, what did they want me to do, right? I don't know. I can't. I'm just a boy. I'm just a boy with a small appetite eating live octopus in a strange place in a basement in Berkeley. But I think that if that's not my favorite bite of food, my favorite bite of food would have been Polpo octopus done the traditional Spanish way in the. In a market in Madrid in their very famous square. Like, they, you know, they have a lot of squares there. There's squares everywhere. This square and that square, Guadalupe Square, and yes, there's squares. And that's, you know, it's a great place to be festive and have a party and, you know, stare at your neighbor. I don't know. It's something like that. And there's this huge Madrid food market there, and it's this big building. It feels open air, but it's not. But this huge building and there's a market inside. It's always crowded. There's packed with people. We've been there a number of times. And they have all these food vendors all around, and in the middle of it, and then you go and you pick your food, and if you can find a seat, great. And if you can't, you just eat while you're standing there talking to people. And we got. From one of vendors, we got octopus, which is not out of the ordinary there. You can get that almost anywhere. We got this octopus sure. Sliced up. Yeah. Near the sea. Madrid's not near the sea, but Spain is known for their seafood. Right. And sprinkled on some. A little bit of spices, a little lemon.
- [17:09]
B
Pepper.
- [17:10]
A
Lemon. Little salt and pepper. Chrissy. It was the most delicious piece of food I've ever had. But not necessarily because the octopus was good, because the company, the atmosphere, the smells, the sights, the sounds, it was like a perfect moment in heaven. You know what I'm saying?
- [17:27]
B
I do.
- [17:27]
A
Then we had children.
- [17:30]
B
I know. As you were.
- [17:31]
A
And I never had a moment again.
- [17:32]
B
As you were talking about that, I thought about all the food I had in Italy, and basically, that is all of the best food that you can imagine. Yeah. The food there is just incredible. It's so fresh, so delicious, homemade. I mean, the pastas, the sauces, all the stuff. It's so good.
- [17:49]
A
When you're talking about this, it reminds me of a Time. The time that Astrid and I were in Venice, same trip, you know, baby moon, whatever you call it. Baby moon. Before our first child, we went to Venice, and we spent. I don't know, I was thinking, four or five days in Venice. And it was cold. It was like in February. Freezing cold there. But that was good because that meant there were a lot less people and. Yeah, a lot less tourists. And we kind of got the town to ourselves. And one of the nights, Astro and I are just dumping around, go walking back to the hotel, and we're both hungry, and we. Pat. We've passed by this pizza place four or five times that the sign literally has, like, one of those pizza guys. You know what I'm talking about? The guy with the pizza in his hand. Yeah. And his hat's flying off, you know, like a caricature of. A caricature of the pizza man. Right. The roly poly with an apron on. You know, it's a drawing. And I was like, that's not a Italian. That's not. This is some crap. This is their version of Domino's.
- [18:43]
C
Yeah.
- [18:43]
A
But every time we pass, the place is packed, packed, packed. Right. And so it's the last restaurant kind of before we get toward the. The hotel. And so I. So Asher and I look at each other. We're like, let's give it a shot. A piece of. Piece of Domino's pizza before we go to bed. This was anything but Domino's pizza. This was one of the best. This was the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life from the. The cartoon pizza man. I got. I got the best pizza I ever had in Italy from the cartoon pizza man. It was unbelievable. It was so good. So good.
- [19:16]
B
God, the food there is just so good.
- [19:18]
A
You can't deny that it went. The food in Europe is just so much better. I mean, listen, there are lots of great places to eat in the United States. I've been to a lot of them, definitely. And I'm not saying that every place you go to in Europe is so much better than the United States. It's not. But there are. You can go. There are restaurants on every corner. Most of them are mom and pop restaurants. The Bennett family. And that's the difference. That is here. It's a TGI Fridays on every goddamn corner. Not anymore. They went bankrupt or Cheesecake Factory or. Everything is homogenized and it all tastes the same. And you know, you don't have that. You don't have that same mom and Pop. Kind of the family gives a shit. Someone's back there cooking because they care. They love it. It's their livelihood. You just don't have a lot of. You don't have as much of that here in the United States. And that's what I love about.
- [20:08]
B
I feel like there's beginning to be a resurgence though, that, you know, especially downtown where I am, there's a lot of just, you know, one place, one off places. Yeah. You know.
- [20:19]
A
Yeah.
- [20:19]
B
Family places, two friends. Start something.
- [20:22]
A
Yeah. I feel like every. Because of the American dream, everybody wants to be rich and famous. That you open up a restaurant, it might start off as the love of food, but then you have to open up 12 more and you have to like, you have to stamp it and make it the next McDonald's or make it the next whatever. And I don't know, I wish. I love that about America because it really can come true. You can like, your all your dreams can come true. You can be rich and famous. And all it takes is a little hard work and maybe some luck and a little bit of smarts and financial backing from Elon Musk. But then, you know, if you can do that, but then that is the true American dream. But what sometimes sucks about the American dream is that because everybody wants to be rich and famous. More, bigger, more, bigger, faster, run fast, break things is that we don't ever. And not we don't ever, but we get a lot less of the individuality. Because when you're trying so hard to be that like that stereotype.
- [21:26]
B
Yeah.
- [21:27]
A
You're trying to be everybody to every, everything to everybody. You're nothing to nobody. And that is the challenge. And that is why live octopus, and I'm not even kidding about this, that's why live octopus in a basement in Berkeley, that's why people are standing outside in line to get into that place, is because there's some originality to it. There's some dude back there who just decided that this 300 foot office space turned into a beautiful Japanese replication restaurant is gonna be my baby and I'm gonna take it to the moon. And this is all I need right now. I say that it's probably the guy who started, you know, Benihana owns. There's probably 12 of them in Berkeley. It's like a sushi chain.
- [22:13]
B
Probably.
- [22:14]
A
What do I know? Anyway, do what you love. Make it your passion. Look at us.
- [22:19]
B
Life's too short to eat bad food.
- [22:21]
A
That's right. Hey, listen, that's. There's. You are so fucking right about that. And look at us. You don't see us trying to stamp out franchises of the commercial break. You know, there's some of these podcasters. All of a sudden. They want to build a network of other podcasters who sound just like them. Fine, be a millionaire. Go ahead. Make a living.
- [22:42]
B
Pay for your kids.
- [22:43]
A
Be good at what you do, and have people like you. And Instagram accounts more than 5,000 people. But I'll tell you what, it's fine. The water's warm down here in the shallow end, and that's where I'm staying. That's right. We'll be back.
- [23:00]

In the studio. Here we are. Asked her to. Woke up this morning. She's like, I thought you were gonna take some time off. And I'm like, yeah, Thanksgiving Day. You're all mine, babe. Don't worry about it. So, couple things. So I just heard through the grapevine, and I'm having a hard time seeing this in mainstream media, but apparently Jamie Foxx was here in Atlanta at the Fox theater back in October. Or early November. Was early November.
- [24:22]
B
Oh, I thought you were gonna talk about him doing karaoke with the Housewives of Atlanta down in Miami.
- [24:27]
A
Oh, no, I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit about that. Okay. Jamie Foxx was down in Miami doing karaoke. We could do that one, too. Sure, why not? You know, was. Was our friend part of it?
- [24:38]
B
Yes, our friend was part of it.
- [24:39]
A
You're kidding me.
- [24:40]
B
No, no, no, no, no. Not our friend. No, the other.
- [24:43]
A
The The Simon Guavadia.
- [24:45]
B
Well, the girl he's divorcing. Portia.
- [24:47]
A
Portia, yeah.
- [24:48]
B
Yes, she was part of it.
- [24:49]
A
We'll talk too, because that. This is Simon. This is Simon. And for those of you who have listened to the commercial break for a very long time, you'll know that we have some intertwinglings with some people in the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I'll explain in a minute. So what I really wanted to share was Jamie Fox is here in Atlanta doing a string of, I guess, standup comedy shows, kind of like entertainment shows, four nights in a row, you know, Jamie Foxx, about a year and a half ago, he was here in Atlanta filming some kind of movie with Cameron Diaz. And he fell very ill very quickly and he was rushed to the hospital. And for many weeks, no one heard anything from the Jamie Foxx. Worried he was alive, he was gonna be alive, everything was gonna be okay. But no one said exactly what happened. And a bunch of people speculated that he had a stroke on set. That this upset Cameron Diaz so badly that she reportedly told friends, this is all hearsay, by the way. Don't take anything here on the commercial break as actual facts. Cameron Diaz reportedly told friends, I'm done with acting. This is it. This is the last movie that I'm doing. And I'm walking off into the sunset. Now, whether or not this was a year ago or year and some change ago. So whether or not that remains true, I don't know. But at the time, I remember reading that Cameron Diaz was so freaked out and freaked out that she decided no mas. Jamie Foxx's camp stays really tight lipped about whatever it is that happened on that particular day.
- [26:18]
B
We still don't know, right? For sure.
- [26:20]
A
No one's ever said exactly what happened. But he did say, I came extremely close to death. And by the grace of his words, God and the help of the people in the medical facility and my friends and family, I'm here today. Took me a long time to get back on the horse, but here I am. So about some couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago, and some change here in Atlanta does this string of shows like four nights at the Fox and some people online after they went to that taping, I guess, I guess it was a taping for something from Netflix. Maybe after they get done, some people popped online and started saying that Jamie Foxx reportedly said that P. Diddy poisoned him and that is why he almost died.
- [27:04]
B
What?
- [27:04]
A
And yes, and some people claim that he was not joking. While in general, this Was like kind of a comedy show, that this part of the show was not comedy, that he was being serious, that he. That he said on stage and claimed that he was poisoned by P. Diddy. That's why he almost died. And that was no joke. And no one seems to understand what he's talking about, how P. Diddy got to Atlanta and tried to poison him. Don't know how P. Diddy was on set or someone on behalf of P. Diddy tried to poison him. Don't know.
- [27:42]
B
I mean, at this point, I'm not putting anything past the guy.
- [27:45]
A
I'm not putting anything past it. And I'm not saying it happened. I'm not saying it. Not it didn't happen. But I thought it was interesting enough to talk about because then. So I read this. I read this maybe a couple of weeks ago, then our friend Paul Scheer put out a video sharing the same information. And when Paul Scheer said it, I thought, okay, I think I want to talk about it, too. I didn't want to talk about it a couple weeks ago. Not that we have the kind of reach or not notoriety of Paul Scheer, but I didn't want to talk about it because it seemed like pure speculation to me. But now that people are talking about, I want to jump on the bandwagon, get some clicks. You know, I'm talking about Chrissy. I. I think this is a very interesting turn of events, and it starts to make. It starts to make some sense why Jamie Foxx and his entire team never said a word. If Jamie Foxx had a stroke, I think people would just say, Jamie Foxx had a stroke. And then he came back and now he's better.
- [28:45]
B
I mean, it is very strange that they have. Very strange that. Because then that could be. That could help other, like, people that have a stroke.
- [28:53]
A
Yes.
- [28:53]
B
You know, he could be an advocate for stroke survivors.
- [28:56]
A
But let me tell you what the strangest part about this whole story is. You ready for this? Jamie Foxx, at this same live event, claimed that the reason why the FBI got hot to P. Diddy was because Jamie Foxx notified the FBI of his misgivings.
- [29:18]
B
Really?
- [29:18]
A
So Jamie Foxx is claiming that he was the one who called the FBI. He was the one who notified them about all the shit. He was the one who also notified them. Poison. He cracked it wide open. And that's why P. Diddy went down. Jamie Foxx and P. Diddy have been seen filmed, you know, lots of places like P. Diddy and Jamie Foxx have been A lot of places together. They've been filmed and photographed and recorded so many places together. It would. You, by all accounts, would appear that they were friendly with each other. Right. But maybe not. Maybe something else was going on. And this all reportedly might stem. Might stem from a time that P. Diddy allowed Jamie Foxx for some kind of documentary movie, something to record one of his parties. Oh, and Jamie Foxx had cameras inside, really, of one of these parties. Now, some people say that Jamie Foxx was only allowed to record to a certain time, and then he had to shut the cameras down when the freak off started or whatever the. Is going on in that place. Place. And some other people claim that maybe Jamie has footage that P. Diddy or the knowledge that P. Diddy didn't want out there. And so when things started getting hot and heavy for P. Diddy, he. Poison time it's poison time let's just go poison our enemy it's poison time and I'm not talking about un skinny bop. You know what I'm. You know what I'm saying? Unskin it bop bop bop Gonna poison my best friend because Got the tapes. Unskin it bop bop bop yeah, that's wild she's my cherry eat a poison.
- [30:58]
B
That's not poison.
- [30:59]
A
Oh, that's not poison. Who is that? Oh, that's Warrant. That's Warren.
- [31:02]
B
That's a different.
- [31:03]
A
That's a different band. Okay, all right.
- [31:04]
B
But anyways, I get the picture.
- [31:06]
A
Yeah, you get the picture. This is absolute insanity as far as I'm concerned. Like P. Diddy. If true. If true.
- [31:14]
B
I mean, there was the whole thing with the Molotov cocktail that he, like, pitched onto somebody's car and blew somebody's car up. I mean, yes, all kinds of nefarious.
- [31:22]
A
Threatening to kill people like, you know, call, you know, having them sign in.
- [31:27]
B
Abuse, abuse and mental abuse. And. Yeah, I mean, I'm not putting anything past the guy.
- [31:32]
A
Listen, I've said this before. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I tend to think that the thing that makes most sense is probably true. Not always, but, you know, true. 9, 11. I don't think thousands and thousands of people could cover up, you know, one incident. I just don't think that. Right. Because it doesn't make much sense to me. You can't have one person keep a secret for very long, let alone thousands of people that would have to be involved in this. So I'm just giving you an example. So when people say that there's some crazy sex ring running around, you know, Hollywood and La La la la la. You know, deals with the devil and all this other shit, at least until recently, seemed not far fetched. I believe that there are lots of bad deeds going on in Hollywood that are covered up by wealth and fame. I have no doubt about that. I've, I've been hip to that for a long time.
- [32:23]
B
Sure.
- [32:23]
A
Since Kennedy and Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. This has been going on for a long time. But I didn't think it was like so, so crazy. And Diddy is now confirming that it is so crazy. It is crazy when you're poisoning other famous people because you're afraid they're going to turn on you or what, the information that you have.
- [32:44]
B
Yeah.
- [32:44]
A
And you know, all these people that are just like, like, who's, why is no one saying anything? Where are the other famous people that were at these parties saying something? And now there are lawyers trying to pay people to not mention other names. There are private. I've been seeing all I know, private investigators are showing up to content creators houses asking questions, saying that they can pay them to shut up or influence them.
- [33:11]
B
It's a web.
- [33:12]
A
It's a web.
- [33:12]
B
It's a big web.
- [33:13]
A
And, and I think I, I think I'm seeing what's starting to happen here is that that P. Diddy has money, wealth and fame. And he is starting to use that money, wealth and fame to throw a smokescreen out there. Right. He's trying to get everybody all twisted up and mangle the facts and, you know, get to people before they say anything or get them to say something else or pay them to say something else so that when the time comes for him to go on trial, it's so confusing. And it's so he said, she said. And there's so much bullshit out there and people have been threatened and paid and all this stuff, stuff that there's a likelihood that the jury doesn't want anything to do with it and they just say, not me. Hung jury or not guilty, because I don't want anything to do with it. This happens a lot with people that are rich and famous. That's why there's two different systems of law in this country. One for us and one for the people who have power and wealth. So this is becoming insane to me. And if true, P. Diddy tried to poison Jamie Foxx. Is that not the craziest thing that you've ever heard?
- [34:13]
B
I mean, to the point of almost death?
- [34:15]
A
Yes. And now it's making sense why Cameron Diaz got freaked out, Right? Because Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx Are apparently very friendly with each other. And she may have been one of the few people that knew what was going on. Now it makes sense why Jamie Foxx team or Jamie Foxx never said anything about what exactly happened. Now it makes sense why this whole like. Like all of a sudden the FBI got hep to this and really went after Diddy Hardcore. I mean, there was that lawsuit. Yes, but the FBI probably was on to him before that.
- [34:45]
B
It had to have been. I mean, after all the years.
- [34:48]
A
I know. And all of this for a terrible movie that Cameron Diaz Jamie Foxx made. It bombed like, big time bomb.
- [34:58]
B
What was the movie?
- [34:59]
A
Oh, I can't even remember the name of it. But I saw the trailer and I was like, that looks like the most uninteresting movie I've seen. I mean, listen, props to both of them. They're great. It's a great actor and a great actor. Yeah, they're getting together. Jamie Fox and Cameron Diaz movie is called. Oh, it was on Netflix. Parents Back in Action is what it's called. Back In.
- [35:26]
B
That didn't even pop up on my Netflix. Like, we recommend this for you.
- [35:32]
A
Well. Oh, maybe it's not even come out yet. Well, this is November 19th, I think is I. Well, let's put it this way. You haven't heard much about it, right? It's not one of those. It's not one of those. Yeah. What movie? Oh, it's not coming out to January 25th. 25th. Okay, rewind the tape a little bit. Brian's wrong. Yeah, I did see the trailer. No one said anything about it because it's six months. Critics have said. Said nothing ever. It's a cone of silence about anything having to do with this movie. This is why we desperately need a producer in here to help us. Fact check, man. I swear to God. I'm sorry. It didn't come out till January. It doesn't come out till January. It's called Back in Action. Maybe it's great. I saw the trailer for it. Didn't look great, but okay, whatever. I don't know. Who knows? Maybe I should actually watch the movie before I make a determination about whether it's good or not. Yeah, here's Brian, the trailer critic. Ah, the trailer was terrible. It must have already come out.
- [36:44]
B
The trailer was terrible.
- [36:46]
A
Well, another hot topic segment ruined by Brian's complete inaccuracy. Complete disregard for any facts or research whatsoever. Maybe I should have started with what was the movie they were filming when he got poisoned. Where did that go? How's that doing? Oh, my God. Oh, Brian. You know, if I was another podcaster, I'd cut this part out. But guess what? I've got too many episodes to do. So you get shit and I'll get shit. We're all gonna get shit. My face hurts. I'm laughing so hard. Sorry, Jamie. I'm sure the movie's great. Cameron, my apologies. Like they're listening.
- [37:37]
B
Well, it all does go back to P. Diddy.
- [37:40]
A
It all comes back to P. Diddy. It all comes back to Baby Oil. This is a conspiracy by Big Oil Baby Oil. Big Corporate Baby Oil. Big Corporate Baby Oil wants us to believe that P. Diddy was the reason Baby Oil was sold out during the pandemic. But no, no, don't you believe it for a second. Big Baby Oil knows different. Big Oil. Yes. Big Oil. Big Baby Oil. P. Diddy is gonna be. P. Diddy is gonna be found dead in a jail cell because of Big Baby Oil. That's what the truth is. Oh, my God. Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, P. Diddy. They're all covering up for Big Baby Oil. I see you, Johnson and Johnson. You gotta manipulate your price. After women stop using it for suntan lotion. Your stock went in the shitter. Well, guess what? We know. We know.
- [38:52]
B
That's right.
- [38:53]
A
It was actually Johnson and Johnson that tried to poison Jamie Foxx. Big Baby Oil. Okay, maybe that's a good place to take a break so I can research the story I'm about to talk about before I talk about it. Wow. I've had it. I got my face a lot on this show. But that was a big one. That was a big one. Back in action. Coming on Netflix, January 17, 2025. Check it out. That I'm going to give him a plug now that I just ripped him a new for no good reason except for I can't be bothered to read. All right, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Netflix.
- [39:39]
B
Oops.
- [39:40]
A
Whoopsie.
- [39:44]
C
In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTokCBpodcast and go to our website, tcbpodcast.com for more information about Brian and Chrissy and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes. Now, Please text us at 212-4333, TCB and tell Brian and Chrissy to let.
- [40:13]
A
Me out of the closet. All right, here we are. Chrissy doing her makeup.
- [40:20]
B
Well, my lips are insanely chapped I know.
- [40:23]
A
My. Some of my kids have that, too. It's terrible. My face is.
- [40:27]
B
I can't get it better. I can't get them better. I've tried every kind of Vaseline. Oh, yeah.
- [40:32]
A
I've tried all regular lotion. Like Cetaphil.
- [40:35]
B
Yes. I've tried regular lotion because you know what I found? And then it just doesn't.
- [40:39]
A
If anybody had. I know you have this, and this is terrible. I. I dated a girl one time when I was in high school who had, like, the permanent chaplet lips, and her lips, like, crawled like, half an inch down below her face right now. Oh, yeah, you do. You poor thing. Have you. Anybody out there have a good like. And we're not talking about a little bit of dry lips. We're talking about, like, super chapped lips. The kind where your lips start to extend beyond their normal range.
- [41:07]
B
Yeah.
- [41:07]
A
Because it's so red and irritated. If anybody has a good idea about that.
- [41:12]
B
This does happen, like, a lot of times when I go to Colorado, if it's in the winter, then they get really tough, too, because it's dry.
- [41:19]
A
It's dry.
- [41:19]
B
And so with the heat now, because it like all of a sudden went from 70 to 20 here in Atlanta, and of course, the heat's kicking on now. There's the dry heat. So I even got a humidifier. Put that in the room. I just have had that going for a day.
- [41:35]
A
So give that some time to work. I put a humidifier on summer, winter. Because, you know, air conditioning can be dry too. Right. So either which way, it's like you go on an airplane, you got that air conditioning blowing on. It's just like your throat is dry, your skin is dry, your body is dry. You feel like you're dehydrated. So I've had that air conditioner. I've had that humidifier kicking for like, three years. Every night. It's a pain in the ass. But I fill it up, I turn it on low, and I let it go. And it has helped some of my children and myself with dry skin. I get dry skin around my belt line.
- [42:04]
B
Okay.
- [42:05]
A
Like on my hip. And it's weird because, you know, I don't norm. That could have something to do with the calcium. So much calcium in my body, too, for such a long time. Time. But some of my kids have that. That chapped lips. And this girl that I dated, it was so terrible. It looked painful kissing her. Like, you could feel how dry her lips were, you know? And that didn't matter to Me, Whatever. You know, it's just. It is what it is. But what I found sometimes helps. One of my children specifically who has really dry lips is I'll put Vaseline on during the day or Burt's Bees or whatever. But then at night I just put regular lotion, like the cedar fill that I use on their skin. Yeah, that's myself. I just put it on the lips too.
- [42:47]
B
Okay. And occasionally we all try that combo.
- [42:50]
A
Yes, try that combo. Like. And here's the thing I think about Chap chapped lips in general is that once you start using some of those moisturizers on your lips, your body starts to depend on it.
- [43:01]
B
So it's like I'm a chapstick person anyways, no matter what. So, yeah, this is the thing.
- [43:06]
A
But all right, any dermatologist.
- [43:09]
B
That's the worst thing.
- [43:10]
A
Yeah, no, that's the worst thing that you got. That's, you know, it's not. That's not bad.
- [43:14]
B
Bad.
- [43:14]
A
I got chapped face. I'll tell you what. So not only do I have like, I've. I've been putting this cream on my face, right. And then apparent. I think maybe I also got shingles on there too, which is something sometimes that can happen. Yes. Which is terribly painful. Hurts very bad. And it's like now I have all these like pock marks on my face now it's going away a little bit, but it's going to take a little while for it to recover from, I think that 1, 2 combo that has been going on. And I'll. I'll tell you what. I feel like I'm a teenager again. When I was a teenager, I had cystic acne.
- [43:54]
B
Yeah.
- [43:54]
A
Cystic acne is not like, you know, it's also the annoying little zits that are all over the place in clusters and all that other stuff. But then it's cystic acne.
- [44:05]
B
Really ingrown.
- [44:06]
A
Yeah. Big zits that are. You look like Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer if you get one on your face. And that was happening to me when I was a teenager. And I'm telling you what, you wann hide your face in a shirt or something? And I think that may have been where maybe I started feeling like I needed to be funny. Tan. Tan. Well, that's it too. That's it. So I'll tell you the. The story. So I started to feel like maybe I needed to use something besides my good looks to impress people because I wasn't that good looking with this cystic acne all over my face. I would Start to be funny, like I would. It was a defense mechanism, essentially, I think. And then on. So like two years into this. So now I'm like 14, 15 years old. I've been dealing with this for three, maybe four years. I. I started getting hair on my legs when I was like 10, right. So I went through puberty pretty early. It's all that, all those antibiotics in the milk, steroids in the meat. So I go. So we. My mom drags me to dermatologist. I've tried everything. I've tried Retin A, I've tried Clearasal. I've tried oral medication to dry out my skin. All this other stuff. New product on the market, clinical called Accutane. Now Accutane, I don't even think they give it out.
- [45:24]
B
I don't think they do either. Jeff was on it too. Oh, he was, when he was younger. And it damages your liver.
- [45:29]
A
I think it damages your liver, it can damage your kidneys. But the worst part about it is it can make you suicidal. Oh, it's known to induce suicidal ideation. It. With your brain too. It's a terrible, terrible drug. But at the time it was considered miracle.
- [45:44]
B
Like the thing I remember a lot of people were getting on that.
- [45:47]
A
Yes. So my doctor put, put my dermatologist said, you got a pretty bad case of acne. I mean, you got it on your face, on your chest, on your back. Like, let's get you on this Accutane. You know, you gotta take. I think it was first 30 or 60 days, something like that, and you take it. And I took it religiously now, let me tell you, it did with my brain. It. It sent me into some weird tailspin. And now that I look back on it now, knowing what I know, I realized that I wasn't going crazy. I was just taking a weird drug. Right, Right. But that period of my life, like that 90 days or whatever that I was taking it or. Or around the time when I was taking it, I was in some weird, like, emotional tailspin for sure. No, also going on at my house too. So it was hard to tell, you know, what was going on.
- [46:29]
B
So you were young, like that's your life. What, 13, 14.
- [46:33]
A
I was 15 when I started taking it. My first girlfriend. Dramatic drama kicking. I love you. I would die for you I die for you. Robin Hood had just come out, you know. Okay, so I take this drug and. And it's. Your face just starts peeling at some point, repeatedly, never ending. Peeling, peeling, peeling. It's drying out your skin. That's what it does, it like stops the oil production in your, in your body. Body. And I think that's what it does. That's how it was described to me. So it goes. So my doctor explains to me that, hey, listen, so I gotta, I gotta like do this checkup like once every three weeks. I gotta go in there, you know. And he's like, okay, it's working. And now the peeling part start comes. It didn't end. It went on for like two and a half straight months. My, I was just peeling all the time and it was really weird and gross and, you know, I hated it and I wanted to kill myself. I wanted to throw myself into the McDonald's fry basket. I did. I was like, this is terrible, horrible. And my skin was red.
- [47:39]
B
No, at that time of your life again, you're so awkward. You're so worried about appearances and what other people think.
- [47:45]
A
It was horrible. And luckily I had some good friends around me that were like, you know, didn't seem to care though. I, I noticed they didn't want to eat around me. But it went, you know, hey, listen, what are you gonna do? But, man, did it work. And it worked like a charm. I mean, after like six months, which is, you know, what the, like the whole, whole course, the whole duration after six months, I don't think I ever had another cystic acne breakout again. But my doctor explained to me, hey.
- [48:12]
B
Listen, dude, if you could make it past the suicide thought, you can make it past suicide. Yeah, and crazy feeling.
- [48:18]
A
That's right.
- [48:18]
B
You're good.
- [48:19]
A
If you can make it past the unalive part, you're gonna be great. Right? But no one knew this at the time because it was a brand new drug on the market. And so there hadn't been a lot of. There hadn't. It hadn't been out long enough for anybody to know. And I'm telling you what, work like a charm. It was six months of huge fucking roller coaster and really dark, deep, weird thoughts. But again, you're a teenager too, so those are coming anyway, right?
- [48:42]
C
Right.
- [48:42]
A
It's just amplified by this weird drug that you're taking. And then. So we get. Toward the end of the course now it's. And he said, listen, we have no idea how long this is going to work, but it for. But it's likely not to last for the rest of your life. So, you know, know it's not a bad idea just to keep your, you know, keep a little sun on your face, keep it dry, you know, wash it frequently. All that other Stuff. The stuff that dermatologists were saying at the time about Accutane and the thoughts that they had around acne, which is dry out your skin, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah. So that's part of the reason it kind of got me hooked on sun. Yeah, on sun. I love sun. Now I'm all about sun, and I think it's helping my skin, yada, yada, yada. So. But I'll tell you what. When you have this, like, kind of onew combo of putting this fluorosil on your face and then also possibly shingles, it's so painful, and it's so red. This feels like the worst sunburn I have ever had in my entire life. It's so painful, and I want to hide my face.
- [49:42]
B
It doesn't look bad.
- [49:44]
A
I know it doesn't look bad now, but I tell you what, over the weekend, it was angry, and I stopped taking this, by the way. Like, I don't know, six days ago, five days ago, when I think I had shingles pop up around there. I was like, oh, okay, okay, okay, that's enough.
- [49:55]
B
Yeah.

So we're out over the weekend, and Astrid, lovely, lovely wife of mine that I just love and adore so much, and she is just such a champ in my corner all the time. But, you know, you got to bullshit your partner sometimes, right? You just have to bullshit your partner sometimes. So I'm like, hey, you know, we're getting ready Saturday, whatever. And I'm, like, looking at myself in the mirror, and I'm like, oh, my God, this is terrible. I hated it so much that I put a mask on before I went to Starbucks. I had, like, one of those Covid Mas masks on. So we're getting ready to go to the social function, and I say, oh, babe, this just. No, babe, it looks fine. Honestly, you put your glasses on, it looks fine. Now I know she's singing me a song. She's trying to calm me down a little bit, right? It looks fine. You're fine. Doesn't look all that bad. Blah, blah, blah. And I go, babe, I think everybody notices this. It's, like, so bad. It's terrible. She goes, don't worry. No one's gonna notice. It just looks like a little bit of redness on your cheek. Don't worry about it. I'm like, I hurt so bad. She goes, don't worry about it. No one's gonna know notice. So we walk in to this birthday party at this Chucky Cheese.
- [50:59]
B
Oh, God.
- [50:59]
A
Which I thought was going to be terrible. Not the birthday party itself, but, like, being at Chuck E. Cheese for two hours with the kids screaming and yelling and asking for more money. But it wasn't. It was actually a fun. We had a fun. Everybody had a fun time. It was a great party. So I walk in, bunch of people that I know. Everybody. Everybody within three seconds of talking to me. What happened to your face? I was in a fight with Mike Tyson. What do you want? Want. What do you want from me? And every time I look over at Astron, Astrid's like. She's like, it just look that bad. So, okay, so then Sunday morning, we got more social functions to go to, and we're gonna go to my mom's, right? Then my mom's gonna have lunch for the Thanksgiving because she's got to stay in the. The place. She's. She. She can't get up the stairs here. So right now. So I'm like, honey, it looks bad again. It looks so bad. I wish it would calm down. It's. No, it looks better. You look fine. It looks better today. You're fine. Everything's gonna be great. No one's gonna notice. Don't worry about it. We walk in to the. This private room that my mom got it, like, the facility to, like, have a little party. And we walk in, and what's the first thing my mother. What happened to your face? I don't even answer. I'm like. And Astrid's like, oh, he. It's a thing. No, don't. Don't mention. Mention it. Vicki, just calm down.
- [52:21]
B
Don't mention it. It's a thing.
- [52:25]
A
So now there's this, like, second party that we gotta go to, and we're driving home from my mom's, and I'm like, I told you, babe. It looks bad. It feels bad. It's like. It's just so bad. And she's like, okay, all right, you know what?
- [52:37]
B
You know what?
- [52:38]
A
I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you a break here. You don't have to go to the second thing, okay? We can just, like, go ahead, stay home. I'll take the kids and go home. And I'm like, honestly. Honestly, I would not normally be like, go, okay, I'm gonna bail on this, right? I do. With. You have all these kids with you. Like, you need to. But I said, honey, I'll give bath times. I'll give you an orgasm. I'll. I'll give bedtime. It's all me. As long as you take these kids this thing. Because if one more person Stares at my face and asks me what's wrong. I'm gonna go back into full broken 15 year old psychosis.
- [53:17]
B
Right?
- [53:19]
A
Which is what I feel like. It's weird. You know, therapists say that's your inner child. It's all your experiences. It's your inner child speaking. You know, I believe it. I've always believed it. But if my inner child came roaring back, I felt so weird. I was just like, God damn, I feel like I'm 15 again. People just staring at my face and master's like, just remember this next time you want to go to the tanning bed. I'm like, don't even get started with me. Don't. Don't start with me, woman.
- [53:51]
B
No more tanning beds, though. No more tanning beds. Well, listen, look, the stuff that you were just putting on your face was for sun.
- [53:59]
A
Sun damage.
- [54:00]
B
Yes, I know.
- [54:03]
A
Now I got a fresh start.
- [54:05]
B
Oh, my God.
- [54:08]
A
That's where my brain goes. I got a fresh start. Just put it on my side. I don't know if I'll do be doing. Well, listen, I don't know if I'll be doing sun tanning anymore, but I. I will go.
- [54:20]
B
Go all in on the spray tan. Go all in on a spray tan.
- [54:25]
A
I know, but it's just not the same. I don't want to be like Donald Trump walking around with two raccoon eyes and like, like half my face sprayed, but the other half not like. And two, I have a bald head. So if I'm in a spray tan, we got to go all the way, way like you. I can't. And it's. I got a little bit of hair on top. Do you know what I'm saying? Because if someone spray tans me because I've done this before, I've done the spray tan. Someone spray tans me, there's going to be these lines around my hair. And what. How do I handle that? I'm gonna look like an idiot.
- [54:53]
B
There's plenty of things on the market too, that you could try at home that I did.
- [54:57]
A
Quality, gave me something. Yeah. And then this girl at the tanning bed, you know, I did spray tan for a while and it didn't look terrible. It looked okay. But then this girl at the tanning bed sold me on the $700, you know, whatever. Yeah, I mean, I swear to God, I have more lotions in there from that tanning place. I swear to God, that tanning place gets me every fucking time. She's like, you have $370 worth of tan pan credits. And you want to use them for this? And I'm like, no, no, no. Well, they're gonna expire. And I'm like, okay. She's like, you can get 12 bottles of lotion with that and $300. And I'm like, okay, tax and tax and service fee is $500. I was like, wait, I had. I have $600 and now I'm spending 500. How did that happen? And then she gets me with this self tanner, and I'm like, listen, I don't know how much longer I want to be doing the real. So you have like a tanner that, you know, I don't know what you call it. Whatever, you know, I'll use this. It's great. And I use it. And I literally turned commercial break orange the next day. I'm like, walking around.
- [55:55]
B
Like, some other stuff.
- [55:56]
A
I'm going to give you neon sign.
- [55:57]
B
I'm going to give you some other stuff. You can just try it on a little patch of your skin.
- [56:00]
A
Yes.
- [56:01]
B
Before you go full face, I'm going.
- [56:02]
A
To try it on my penis first. See if I can get a little darker a little longer.
- [56:08]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [56:09]
A
Well, listen, here's the moral of the story, kids. The moral of the story is don't take Accutane. That's the moral of the story.
- [56:17]
B
That's right.
- [56:18]
A
Yeah. Oh, Jeff took it too. And he. Yeah, he's got good skin now, too, huh? Yeah. Yeah. Does he like the sun?
- [56:24]
B
No. No, he's not a big sun tanner.
- [56:27]
A
Oh, well, I guess.
- [56:28]
B
I mean, he doesn't hate it, but.
- [56:30]
A
The tail of two cities.
- [56:32]
B
Well, he actually did have a little skin cancer on his face one time. So now he always slathers up the sunscreen.
- [56:37]
A
Oh, he does? Serious kind of skin cancer?
- [56:40]
B
No, I mean, it wasn't serious, but he had it removed. It was fine. But since then, he's very adamant about putting sunscreen on.
- [56:47]
A
Yeah, like, I'm adamant about the self checking all the time because I have freckles too. I'm Irish. So you got. I got to be really careful because what can appear to be a freckle may not be a freckle. Right. And so, yeah, we both go for.
- [57:00]
B
Full body scans once a year.
- [57:02]
A
So once a year. And the doctor always says, looks great. Everything. Nothing be concerned. Concerned about. Right. Nothing to be concerned about. And I had this part, this little patch on my face, and one day I woke up and it was red and I was like, oh, that's weird. Like, I don't remember hitting Myself. And he said, well, it could be this, like, keososis or whatever. Whatever you call it. The, like, it's. It's not cancerous. It's like pre cancerous, but it's not a dangerous kind. It just makes rough patches. And he's like, or it could be this other kind that, like, you know, it's a little bit more upsetting, but we could just cut it out. And he's like, so what you got to do is let's do that fluorosaurus and let's see how it reacts, right? And so I think it's not the dangerous kind, but the point is, is like, check your body all the time.
- [57:46]
B
Definitely got to do that.
- [57:47]
A
And then Astrid and I, you know, we've got these. He gave us this card, and it's like, this is what to look for, right? And so you can do. You can do the self checks or you can do the partner checks. Check your partner and check all over.
- [57:58]
B
He.
- [57:59]
A
He looks under my scrotal. I mean, that's how.
- [58:00]
B
That's how detail. He gets.
- [58:02]
A
Full.
- [58:02]
B
It's full body.
- [58:03]
A
Does your. Your dermatologist go vulva, like, checking.
- [58:06]
B
Okay, just checking.
- [58:07]
A
Well, then that. And then they're not doing well. It. I mean, listen, he asked me. Anything weird in your butthole. That's what he asks me. Like, anything weird in your. You know, like, how the am I supposed to know before? What's that?
- [58:19]
B
Now or before?
- [58:19]
A
Yeah, now or before when? Right now? I don't know. Is your finger up there? What's going on? What are we doing, doc? I didn't come here for a full rectal examination. I came here to check my skin. And he's like, skin's everywhere, dude. Biggest organ on your body.
- [58:34]
B
That's true.
- [58:35]
A
Do yourself checks, check your tits, check your dick, check your skin. That's what we gotta say. That's us. That's the moral of our story.
- [58:46]
B
Another great psa.
- [58:48]
A
Yeah, another great PSA for Brian the commercial. Check your butt. Check your boobs. Check your balls.
- [59:00]
B
Check it all.
- [59:00]
A
Check it all. Check everything. You got to check. It's your body. You take care of it. No one's going to do it for you. Even the doctors get it wrong sometime.
- [59:08]
B
True.
- [59:08]
A
Take it from a guy who spent almost 20 years with a body full of calcium. Yeah, like I was eating a calcium stick. Like I had a calcium lick to my face.
- [59:19]
B
God, that's crazy to think about.
- [59:21]
A
It really is. To be sick for so long and not even. And then to have indicators that that's what's happening and have no one pay attention to it is scary. And that's why I say it's up to you. It's up to you. You got to do it. Thank God for my new doctor. Thank God for a bunch of doctors who just kind of got together and said, oh, that doesn't look normal.
- [59:42]
B
Exactly.
- [59:43]
A
