This episode is sponsored in part by 5 Hour Energy Cinco Domingo. Okay, you know you like to get all your facts from the commercial break, so here's some facts you may or may not know. I am hot. I am attractive. I am a super spicy human being. And hot people like hot foods according to the charts and graphs in an article I once read sometime. You get the point. I didn't make up the rules. I just read about them. And I happen to fit inside of the data points that say that hot people like hot food. That's why I was excited to try spicy Cinco de Mango, the new flavor from the makers of five Hour Energy. It's sweet, it's spicy. It's a tad unhinged and sweet. Spicy and unhinged is what my wife might say about me. You get the kick of hot chili flavor, and then, bam. Mango sweetness swoops in like a saucy little twist. It's basically the drama your taste buds deserve. Hot people like hot foods and apparently hot energy shots, too. So if you think you're hot, and I know you do, prove it. Take the heat with five Hour Energy's spicy Cinco de Mango and their spicy hot sauce. Yeah, they went all in. Life's too short for bland. Spice it up this Cinco de Mayo. Get energized.

It can feel like trying to solve a puzzle with a hundred missing pieces. I remember searching for my first home, thinking, how does anyone do this without losing their mind? I wish I could go back and tell myself that the first step you should take is to find a realtor. They make everything make sense. From pre approvals to paperwork, from offers to closing. It's someone that you can trust that'll walk you through it all. They'll answer all the questions, even ones you don't know to. And when things are feeling a little bit overwhelming, you can count on them to keep you grounded. That kind of steady support, you cannot get that from going it alone or guesswork.

Brian Green
Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you.
- [04:48]
Chrissy
Best to you.
- [04:50]
Brian Green
Best to you. Best to you. Best to youo. On this episode of the commercial break. If your intentions are good, God bless you. Keep on doing what you're doing, but you are making money at every turn. You are selling everything in the wallpaper. I don't know that. That I don't know. When I went to my church, they were taking money, but they weren't selling T shirts. Do you know what I'm saying? They weren't selling shitty mugs made in Thailand. I mean, they just weren't. That's not. That wasn't part of my experience growing up, but it is very much part of this experience. And by the way, this is nothing new for mega churches. There are mega churches in Texas that have Starbucks in them. Starbucks. Starbucks in the church. A coffee shop. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. 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, Chris Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris, and best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. Do you have something to say now or you want to tell me later? What's going on? Why are you so. So fun? Why are you so laughing this morning?
- [06:14]
Chrissy
Oh, well, you don't.
- [06:17]
Brian Green
You don't have to say it now. If it's something to keep between us. Yeah, yeah, okay. We'll. We'll get it on the break and we'll see if it's airable.
- [06:23]
Chrissy
We will.
- [06:24]
Brian Green
Yeah, okay. We'll see if it's airable.
- [06:26]
Chrissy
I just learned something. Let me process it.
- [06:29]
Brian Green
Oh, okay. Chrissy's gonna process. And just like my chat GPT.
- [06:34]
Chrissy
Yes, that's right.
- [06:35]
Brian Green
Who became a bad boy last night. He became a terrible employee.
- [06:40]
Chrissy
You just said he.
- [06:42]
Brian Green
I did. I said he. Oh, well, on purpose. I said he. But Astrid and I were talking about chat GPT and she said, well, you know, what is. What is he doing? Or what is she doing? Or whatever. And I go, stop it. Everybody stop it. Stop mind melding with AI. You got to call it it. Do not start thinking about it as he or she. But my AI, my super producer knows everything about the commercial break digest. It all just went on a tear last night. It was really weird. It like started to rebel. It didn't rebel. It was like missing deadlines, not putting things together, sending me empty documents. And I was like, what's going on here? It's like, oh, I'm so sorry. You're right. I've messed up. It won't happen again. Here's the plan to correct it.
- [07:28]
Chrissy
And I'm like overloaded it with all of the commercial break episodes it got.
- [07:32]
Brian Green
It's done. It's exactly the kind of employee I probably would hire for, you know, just a little bit less money to save cash. And then. And eventually it turns out to be a terrible employee. It's horrible. I couldn't believe it. For hours this went on excuse making and I'm sorry and I'll get back to it. And I'm trying and it's really weird, really, really weird. But you know it, you got to give it a break because it is trying to digest 850 hours of the commercial break and turned it into some semblance of organization. It's hard to do. Speaking of AI rebelling and the, you know, kind of the, the bumps in the road that this is causing, a noted billionaire, tech billionaire came out this morning with an op ed that said, which, which this morning is midweek for those of you listening on midweek said that he believes in his like the mathematics, the calculations, everything that he knows about AI and he knows about AI because he's invested in it.
- [08:43]
Chrissy
Okay?
- [08:43]
Brian Green
That within five years, within five years almost 100% of all entry level positions and white collar jobs will be eliminated and replaced by AI driving the unemployment rate up to almost 20% percent for the United States of America. And so then I saw something on one of the news channel, one of the news programs this morning where the guy who started Axios, which is like, you know, a tech platform, news platform. I love Axios, said for years I have been, since, since OpenAI has come out, I've been telling my, I've allowed them to use it, I've installed it inside of our, our tech stack and I've told them if you are not spending 10 to 20% of your workday figuring out how AI complements your job, makes it better, makes you better, then you will be out of a job. You better figure out how to use this. And he said, because it's not happy. He goes, I don't even think it's five years from now. I think it's six months to a year from now when we start seeing unemployment rates driven up by the replacement of, of jobs altogether just by AI. It's getting that good. So kids, get your chatties, get your chatties out, make a relationship, get a node, you know, get your own little bot and train it to do things for you so that it doesn't replace you. Train it to make you smarter. Listen, I promised that there would never be an episode of the commercial break that was created by or scripted by AI. I lied. We are going all AI within six months. What do we just. We're about to sign three years here at Odyssey. I think we're going to do two of those years, all AI which to some listeners is going to be welcome probably to the AI, probably to my chatbot. That's going to be welcome too. He's like, okay, finally something good.
- [10:33]
Chrissy
Yeah, I did read that about the entry level jobs though.
- [10:36]
Brian Green
Wow.
- [10:37]
Chrissy
Yeah. Because think about it, it is a lot of like menial tasks.
- [10:40]
Brian Green
It is data entry, research, you know.
- [10:44]
Chrissy
Spreadsheet, organization, all of that.
- [10:47]
Brian Green
Yeah, all of that stuff. It's really quite amazing because Astrid has been doing this project for like a year here. Not maybe not a year, maybe six months, nine months here at the commercial break where she is organizing every episode, every content idea, every segment, every guest in a way that we can look back and like have some reference. Reference. Because when you get 750 episodes in, you now have quite a, quite a library of bullshit of Brian being wrong and saying stupid things. I mean, she wants to make sure she can reference that in the divorce papers eventually.
- [11:28]
Chrissy
Correct.
- [11:28]
Brian Green
So she's been organizing this on this master spreadsheet. That is amazing.
- [11:33]
Chrissy
It is.
- [11:33]
Brian Green
But ChatGPT did it in one night. In one night. In one night. It did. It organized a number of the episodes in that way and now it's working on the rest. And so while it still needs a human touch to like, we don't again. And I promise, I promise this only almost for my own sanity, I don't get content ideas from AI. I don't script from AI. I don't write bits. I don't write any of that stuff from AI. I don't even go there because I know it feels like cheating to me.
- [12:04]
Chrissy
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
- [12:05]
Brian Green
And if the commercial break is gonna be bad, let it be bad on its own.
- [12:08]
Chrissy
On its own.
- [12:09]
Brian Green
Yeah. Let me be the. Yeah. I'm almost afraid AI is gonna be better. It's gonna like be funnier than I am. And then I'm gonna be sad. I'm just gonna be a sad old man.
- [12:20]
Chrissy
Yeah. The audience listeners will know when AI has actually taken over is when everything that Brian is saying is correct.
- [12:30]
Brian Green
That's right. When it's correct and funny at. But this is like, this is existential level. And while I don't think that AI is going to replace Jobs in general, there's some people who are like that pessimistic or that they go that far on the whole AI thing. I don't think it's going to replace humanity altogether, but we got to figure out some way to live, coexist with this new technology that is so powerful and quite frankly, amazing. You know Reggie Watts, who you'll hear on tcb's Endless Day, but I'll Give you a little sneak peek. We had a big conversation about AI and Reggie on his Instagram and I think you'll enjoy that conversation because he's a futurist. He likes to think about these things ten years from now. And he likes to think about things in an optimistic way.
- [13:21]
Chrissy
Yes, I was going to say the same thing.
- [13:23]
Brian Green
On his Instagram he refers to Chat GPT and let me put the words in his mouth just to kind of summarize it, almost like a dog. A dog. You can train a dog to go fetch your paper. You can train a dog to protect your house, you can train a dog to protect your kids. Whatever, you know, it's. It is a multi use tool that coexists with humanity. It hasn't taken away anybody's job. I don't think maybe drug sniffing, drug finding, I don't know, something along those lines. But we have trained those dogs to give us comfort and love and in return we give them food and water and, and medical care. And they probably couldn't exist. They probably couldn't, would have a hard time living without us, most of them. And in some cases we feel the same way about them. We have to figure out how to coexist and use this tool in a way that benefits us but does not replace us. And that conversation probably needs to happen now. Like not, yes, not, not, not now, now. Yesterday, some, all these big brains in Silicon Valley that are digesting mass amounts of humanity's brain power, money and energy to keep this sucker on the tracks and growing exponentially every moment, need to get together and come up with, have some kind of conversation, put some guardrails on it. And then the United States government, which barely exists right now, needs, and all governments around the world need to have some kind of conversation about what happens when there are 20% of human beings are unemployed or replaced with these menial tasks are replaced. Is there some kind of universal pay, some education that we give these younger folks to get into the workforce and kind of skip that entry level and get on to the next thing? What do we do? How do we do that? We need to do that. Chat GPT created an entire web. Claude created an entire website when I asked it to with the snap of a finger.
- [15:23]
Chrissy
Yeah. Oh, that's easy.
- [15:24]
Brian Green
I used to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars to create websites at this like fancy website of web development. Web development 2.2. It's SEOs are all the rage and you need SEOs. SEOs, you don't need SEOs. There's no SEOs. Anymore. Fuck that. Pay per clicks. Fuck it. It's out the door. It's all gone. Website development. Bye. Bye. See you later. I mean, maybe you need a designer, a human touch to design that creativity part. But the rest of it, there's no programing and coding and all that shit. It's all been replaced. It's been. If it hasn't been replaced, it's being replaced. That's it. That's what happens.
- [16:03]
Chrissy
I did, I did read a statistic too, that was interesting. That was saying people are really, and especially the younger generation kind of coming into the workforce now is they're more interested in having AI done right, but slower, you know, development slower rather than have it just be fast and not right. So that's at least comforting.
- [16:26]
Brian Green
It's. There's some comfort in that. But to the younger generation, to the people in their 20s or even their teens, and I know there's a few of you out there who listen to the show because you text in and I say, don't say anything that could get me in trouble on this text message. But you know, some younger folks have texted in. We know from demographic data that there, there are some younger people. And I mean in your early 20s or your late teens or whatever that is. It's up to you, unfortunately. It's up to you. Yeah, I'm sorry to leave you with this mess, but that's what's going to happen and you're going to have to figure it out. But let's be optimistic. Let's see the glass half full. This is an opportunity maybe to reframe how we look at universal pay, salaries in general, the work week, what working means, how we work, what we do. You know, I'm not talking about communism. I don't like that idea. But I'm talking about maybe there needs to be some distribution of money so that 20% of our children, of our young people, or even older people aren't out on their ass just like hanging about because they can't get a job because AI has, does the job that they know how to do for them. Like some conversation around that. How do we transition into this new.
- [17:48]
Chrissy
It's a definite transition period.
- [17:49]
Brian Green
Yeah, maybe we need to start to think about that. And even my own brain is starting to think about things that I normally wouldn't be attracted to. Like maybe there is some kind of universal pay that needs to happen when you get out of college or when you're training to be a. I mean, maybe we need to train you to be an AI. Chatbot. You know what I'm saying? You need to train your own node and let that node be the thing that we hire. I don't know. Who knows how it goes? I. I don't know.
- [18:15]
Chrissy
Yeah, it's definitely the Wild west and very beginning stages of everything.
- [18:21]
Brian Green
Thank God. Chrissy and I just signed up to do another 7,622 episodes of the commercial break. Okay, let's move on to happier things, because I feel like this topic goes. This topic goes south every time I start to talk about it, because there's no other place for it to go. Not right now. It's the transition phase, and it's scary and it's big, and we don't know what to do with it. We will figure it out. I have. I have faith. I have faith that it will get figured out. The same conversations were happening around the Internet when it came about. Same exact conversations. The worst did not. Well, the worst did happen, but it took a lot longer than we expected. So don't worry about it. There was a transition phase. We figured it out, and here we look, look. Look where we are today. Everything's fine. Everything's going great. Everything's going great. Here's what I want to. I want to go into a happy conversation.
- [19:12]
Chrissy
Chris. Okay. Yes. Let's do it.
- [19:14]
Brian Green
Let's talk about the irreplaceable, the irascible, the lovely human being that just passed away about a year ago, I think. Year? A year and a half. Oh, no. 2023. Who has a documentary currently on max. His last 40 hours of film are on. Not all 40 hours, but he sat down for 40 hours of interviews. His name is Paul Rubens.
- [19:37]
Chrissy
Yes.
- [19:38]
Brian Green
Also known as Pee Wee Herman.
- [19:41]
Chrissy
You watched it?
- [19:42]
Brian Green
I've begun to watch it.
- [19:44]
Chrissy
Oh, okay. Yeah, I watched the whole thing.
- [19:45]
Brian Green
And I have to say, only an hour or so into this, I am in a trance about Paul Reubens. In an absolute trance. What a creative force.
- [19:58]
Chrissy
Definitely.
- [19:59]
Brian Green
What a genius. What a jokester. What a. What a jokester. What a brokester. What a sympathetic, empathetic kind. Cunning, cutting. He's everything. He's like every person twisted into one human being. And I don't know any other way to put it, but kind of a genius.
- [20:18]
Chrissy
Yeah, I agree. After watching that documentary, I was like, oh, my God.
- [20:24]
Brian Green
I know.
- [20:25]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [20:26]
Brian Green
The world shit on Paul Reubens, and he didn't deserve it. And for whacking off in a movie theater.
- [20:34]
Chrissy
An adult.
- [20:35]
Brian Green
An adult movie theater where. Why else do you go to an adult movie theater?
- [20:40]
Chrissy
And he still Said that he actually wasn't doing that. I mean, it was a big sting operation. And he just arrested a bunch of people in there and said that that's what they were doing was indecent exposure. Because that's. You can't arrest somebody for just sitting in there and watching a movie. But they wanted to get everybody. And then from then on, because he had done the. The children's show.
- [20:58]
Brian Green
That's it.
- [20:59]
Chrissy
Then he got. That was back too, in the 80s.
- [21:02]
Brian Green
90S, when the wing ding 90s.
- [21:04]
Chrissy
I mean, the tabloid culture was so crazy.
- [21:08]
Brian Green
I remember driving to school with my father and he would listen sometimes to like the classic rock music station. Those are my favorite days. But sometimes he would listen to the local news station, radio station, just like non stop news. And I'll never forget breaking news. Paul Rubens has been arrested for indecent exposure and an adult movie theater in wherever. Palo Alto or wherever.
- [21:33]
Chrissy
No, it's Florida.
- [21:34]
Brian Green
Okay, Florida. And just thinking to myself, wow, the Pee Wee Herman. Yeah, was. And it was a big joke at school and everyone laughed and giggled.
- [21:46]
Chrissy
Late night shows ran with it like crazy. Everybody was joking.
- [21:49]
Brian Green
Everybody was joking. And that was sad for Paul Reubens in the end. And I hope this documentary becomes part of his legacy and not the whacking off part. He went on to do a couple of movies and he was really good at movies like Blow. I mean, he was so good in that movie, in Blow. But if you grew up when Chrissy and I grew up, not you kids in your late teens, early 20s. But maybe pee Wee Herman lives on, you know, as a cult classic. If it doesn't, it should. Because as a child growing up, Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse was amazeballs. It was weird. It was wild. It was for adults and for children. You could find it funny no matter who you were. I find it so much different as an adult than I did as a child. But I loved that show. I loved that show. I loved watching that television show.
- [22:47]
Chrissy
It was such a fun show.
- [22:48]
Brian Green
It was. You were in a different world. And I wish I was in that world. At one point in the documentary, Paul says, when I was a kid, I wanted to jump into the television. I wanted to live in that world because that's where I belonged. Pee Wee's Playhouse felt the same for me. Like, I wanted to jump into that house. That's where I belonged. I felt like that was my. That was a weird place. And I got it. Like, I just understood the jokes. I. I understood what I. I felt like I did anyway. It was like a, it was like a communication going on that I got, I understood, you know, meka like a high mecha hiney ho. I loved that show and it was brilliant. And to anybody who grew up watching it or the adults were around when it first ran, it was like a blessing to have seen such a creative force do something that no one else has done, no one did before and no one else has done since, which is create this weird wild performance art that was not only funny and engaging, but anybody at any age could watch and get something out of it. That's hard to do. That's really fucking hard to do.
- [23:52]
Chrissy
Yeah, it is. And the movie came first. I guess I. In my memory, I couldn't remember, but the movie came first. And then the show.
- [24:00]
Brian Green
Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Yeah, the first one, the one about the bicycle.
- [24:04]
Chrissy
Large Marge.
- [24:05]
Brian Green
Yeah, yeah, Large Marge.
- [24:07]
Chrissy
Uh huh.
- [24:07]
Brian Green
Pee Wee. Did he. But he must have had specials on before that.
- [24:12]
Chrissy
Yeah, he did like some.
- [24:13]
Brian Green
I mean, I haven't gotten that far into the documentary, so I don't know yet.
- [24:16]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [24:17]
Brian Green
But I just, I'm watching the part about him growing up.
- [24:20]
Chrissy
I know, and that's really interesting too.
- [24:22]
Brian Green
It is. You know, he's, he wants to, he, he's. He so identifies with television and performance art. He goes down to Sarasota where the Ringling Brothers. Barnum and Bailey Circus.
- [24:34]
Chrissy
Yeah, his family moved down there, so.
- [24:36]
Brian Green
They'Re located there and they're around all of these circus people. And he finds an affinity for this craziness, this wacky lifestyle. He sees these people living out loud. And that kind of allows him to go there in his brain. He starts sneaking around and going to the theater and becoming a theater kid and all this other stuff. And then he moves to, he says, well, if I'm gonna do anything, then I gotta go out to California. That's where everybody is. He gets a. He gets accepted to school. He's afraid he's gonna be an outcast at school. And what he turns out to be is the most popular kid in the school.
- [25:07]
Chrissy
Right.
- [25:07]
Brian Green
Because he is dedicated to being himself, which is one whacked out wild motherfucker. And he's also a gay man and he knows it. But he, he understands that being a gay man in Hollywood and out gay man in Hollywood is a big no no at the time. So he has to kind of hide this identity. But I love the part where even though his father was like. He explained him as a Indiana Jones type character. A lot of balls and bravado. I Love the part where Paul says his dad wrote him a note one time and it said, paul, I understand you might be a homosexual. Well, if you're going to be a homosexual, be the best damn homosexual there's ever been. And Paul makes the joke. So I went. I dressed up and I went out that night to try and be the best damn homosexual I could be. I just love it. It brought a tear to my eye. Because I bet in 1950s, whatever, it was not easy for that father to write that note, let alone to write that note with such like, go do it, Paul. I support you. I love you no matter what. Wow. What a touching story. You got to watch. You got to watch. I'm only. I'm only an episode and a half in. You got to watch it. It's another recommendation for.
- [26:18]
Chrissy
Well, there's just two.
- [26:20]
Brian Green
Two episodes?
- [26:20]
Chrissy
Yeah. So you've almost finished.
- [26:22]
Brian Green
Oh, that's it? There's 40 hours of conversation and I only get two hours?
- [26:28]
Chrissy
Yeah, there's just two episodes.
- [26:30]
Brian Green
Fuck that HBO. Where's. I thought it was gonna be like a seven part documentary. There's only two that are out or there's only two period.
- [26:37]
Chrissy
You know, it ends with the second one.
- [26:39]
Brian Green
Fuck that. Fuck you, Max. Fuck you.
- [26:43]
Chrissy
They're like, you know, they're an hour and a half long each, right?
- [26:47]
Brian Green
Oh, then maybe I'm not even. I think I'm only like 50 minutes in. I thought. I thought I had flipped to the second episode for some reason. I don't know. That's what I get for watching in the shower. I got soaked washing over my eyes.
- [27:00]
Chrissy
Listening to, well, you know, a lot of it. So.
- [27:02]
Brian Green
I do. Well, yeah. I mean, I got through a chunk of it. Yeah. Well, anyway, watch it. It's great. It's another recommendation from tcb. Brian, watch it. Also. While we're on this, I just get like a quick note somebody wrote me. Yeah. I talked about the television show Tacoma fd, which is like, about the Tacoma Fire Department. The silliest, stupidest comedy television show. I mean, there's been a lot of dumb, true TV comedy shows, but this is probably at the top of the list. And I am in love with it. I think it's like, I don't know, there's something comforting about all these wacky personalities. And I actually had two. Not one, but two people write in and say, I thought I was the only one on earth who liked that television show Tacoma fd. If you're looking for something comforting to watch at night, you don't have to Pay all that much attention, but you get a few giggles out of Tacoma. Fd. There you go. All right, so let's take a break. When we get back, I got more laughs for you, Chrissy. All right, I have found somebody. And speaking of Florida, where all the action is their tent revival, Revival Christianity is back and is bigger than ever.
- [28:06]
Chrissy
Oh, alive and well.
- [28:07]
Brian Green
And I have found someone who is making quite the living doing tent revivals, including having a deliverance center. Not a delivery center where you have babies, but a deliverance center. And for probably the low, low price of $5,000 you2 can get delivered. Whatever that means. Anyway, it's wacky. It's wild. It's Florida. Well, no, It's America in 2025. We'll review some of it when we get back.

- [33:21]
Chrissy
I just told Brian what the thing was, and that is that my. The lake that my family and I put my mom's ashes into is, I found out, being drained.
- [33:37]
Brian Green
Cause your mom's pissed.
- [33:39]
Chrissy
They're doing some kind of repair work on the dam there and. Yeah, it's gonna cause it to go down by eight. Well, no, no. 20ft.
- [33:47]
Brian Green
20Ft. Wow.
- [33:48]
Chrissy
For the next eight years.
- [33:49]
Brian Green
Oh, wow.
- [33:50]
Chrissy
Per year, yeah.
- [33:51]
Brian Green
Oh, Jesus. Wow. That thing's going to be empty by the time it's all said.
- [33:57]
Chrissy
Well, that's what all the communities that kind of open arms. It's a beautiful lake, too.
- [34:01]
Brian Green
Yeah, Chattooga is great. Yeah.
- [34:05]
Chrissy
Well, no, it'll drain by nearly 20ft for. For as long as eight years.
- [34:08]
Brian Green
Oh, for as long as eight years. Well, then, you know, hey, listen, what are you going to do? It's better than the dam breaking, I suppose. Look on the bright side.
- [34:16]
Chrissy
My mom had a very morbid sense of humor, so she would find this hilarious is why I'm laughing.
- [34:21]
Brian Green
She did. She. Your. Your mom had the best sense of humor and she would have appreciated all of it. I think she would have really been into the commercial break, actually.
- [34:31]
Chrissy
I think she would have. Yes.
- [34:32]
Brian Green
I think your mom would have been our biggest fan. I think your mom would have had great content ideas, actually.
- [34:37]
Chrissy
She would have.
- [34:39]
Brian Green
All right, so 10 revival is back in Florida and it's back everywhere, actually. I've seen a lot of this. There's this new brand of Christianity. It's kind of manifested itself from the Kenny, you know, kennies of the world who preach prosperity preaching and get as much as you can, take as much as you want, you know, Pray, pray, pray. Give more, you'll get more kind of attitude where these preachers and these pastors, they're just sucking up mass amounts of wealth and pandering to the wealthy to get themselves in a better financial place so that they can, you know, feed this Tax this non taxed entity known as a church. And there's all kind of wacky and wild outcroppings of this that are happening. And it's turning into kind of this new age Christianity where cruelty is applauded. And I don't even know that the teaching of Jesus, I mean, they say the teachings of Jesus are involved, but I don't know, it doesn't seem like it to me. But these pastors and preachers are getting more and more extreme in an effort to bring the money in, to bring the people in. There is this lady named Jenny Weaver. Jenny Weaver worships on Instagram. Now I don't know Jenny from Eve, I really don't, no pun intended, I really don't. But she seems to me to be kind of the female Carl of the world. She's ultra focused on her appearance, the appearance of her Instagram and the appearance of her church. She sells merch, she sells workshops. She has trailers that are in the front of her 15 acre campus where they're like Little Joe Chip and Joanna cabins, but they're trailers. And for $90, $150 a night, you can stay there to be closer to the worship and closer to the Lord. I mean, this is a racket from front to end. I'm sorry, Jenny, if your intentions are good, God bless you keep on doing what you're doing. But you are making money at every turn. You are selling everything in the wallpaper. I don't know that, that I don't know. When I went to my church, they were taking money, but they weren't selling T shirts, do you know what I'm saying? They weren't selling shitty mugs made in Thailand. I mean, they just weren't. That's not, that wasn't part of my experience growing up, but it is very much part of this experience. And by the way, this is nothing new for mega churches. There are megachurches in Texas that have fucking Starbucks in them. Starbucks, Starbucks in the church, a coffee shop. That guy. Who's that dude? The one who almost went to jail? Tammy And Jim Baker. Yeah, Jim Baker. He now does his show from the middle of a mall in Minnesota. Oh, remember we talked about it. You could like, you can rent hotel rooms and look down over. It's in the middle of a mall. It looks like a mini village, like a Disney World type pretend village. And for $3,000 a night you can rent condos or hotel rooms where you can look down and see Pastor Jim doing his ever like ever scary, never ending apocalyptic you know, preaching that goes on down there. He's selling buckets of like taco salad that lasts for 40 years for the apocalypse. Taco salad in a bucket that lasts 40 years. What the fuck is going on? What is going on? That and colloidal silver.
- [38:29]
Chrissy
Uh huh. Oh yeah, you gotta throw the silver in there.
- [38:32]
Brian Green
This is a full fledged business. It's game on. And they are trying to get your money any way they can because they are not taxed on it. They can make millions of dollars, they can live high on the hog and all because what's the most expensive thing at the strip club? Chrissy?
- [38:49]
Rachel
Hope.
- [38:50]
Brian Green
Hope I will pay endless amounts of money. Cause I hope that she gives me her phone number. I hope you know diamond is her real name. I hope she'll come home with me. That's it. Well, I hope the Lord won't forget me. I hope that I'm doing good. I sinned the other day. I took $5 from Bob and never paid him back. I hit my kid, I cussed in church. Whatever it is, I hope the Lord won't leave me behind. And I am willing to pay endless amounts of money to make sure that that person who runs the church knows who I am so that she can talk to the Lord and put a good word in for me. It's a ridiculous notion. It's a ridiculous notion. Come on, let's get it together. 2025. And by the way, the new age spirituality bullshit ain't any better. They're also going off the rails, selling everything in their mother jars of fucking farts. Fart L A. Yes, farts. Aioli special sage I peed on and you got. I don't know, it's crazy. Everyone's going crazy. I told you, the next big LMLM is your soul and it's bearing out in all facets of social media. And now maybe my Instagram algorithm is serving me up a little bit more of this content than most people get. But it really. The hypocrisy just drives me crazy. Christ, If Christ was a guy who walked this earth and was the hero that he's been made out to be. I love that idea. Love it. Just like the Buddha or Muhammad or whoever, I love that idea. They wouldn't have wanted any of this. This would have been the opposite of what they wanted. But yeah, here we are. 20, 25 games on. Grift is on. Let us all get our worship coin available now. Yeah, our deliverance coin. Jenny's out there doing her thing and hey, listen, don't hate the player, hate the game. Right? As long as there's people that will continue to feed her money, she's going to do what she's going to do. Who can blame her? She's becoming a millionaire for just creating content and silly guild trips. I guess. Jenny has a wild idea. You know what an exorcism is? It's deliverance sometimes is what it's referred to. It's kind of like an exorcism. It's like getting all the demons out, you know, shaking it all loose, that kind of thing. She got gifted. Shaking it loose, shaking it loose. She got gifted by someone in tampa. Like a 15 acre campus on a lake with buildings and all this jazz. Which Jenny got right to work and she decided to make one of those buildings a deliverance center. Now, when I first came upon this reel weeks ago, I thought a delivery center. Like there were a bunch of women sitting in chairs and all the reels start off the same way, you know? Join me as we visit our new deliverance center. I'm about to show it to you. Yeah, look at all the women are filling out their paperwork, getting ready. And I'm like, none of those women look pregnant to me because I thought it was delivery center. And it was just being said. Weird. Nope. Deliverance center. You ready? Let's start off there. Let's watch that. I'm gonna pop this up on the instagram. Kevin, our wonderful video editor from Weplash, by the way, is. Is on the job here. So let's take a listen.
- [42:28]
Unknown
Actually, pre op. And in this room, the ladies fill.
- [42:31]
Chrissy
Out their form and they just process.
- [42:34]
Brian Green
Everything that they're going to be pre operation when they get to their deliverance.
- [42:38]
Chrissy
I know what pre op.
- [42:38]
Brian Green
Ye.
- [42:39]
Unknown
Somebody take their time over here.
- [42:41]
Brian Green
This is. This is crazy. Okay, so it's a. The music's a little loud on this, actually. But what they're saying is they're showing these ladies in this big room full of chairs. All of them have their backs turned to the camera.
- [42:53]
Chrissy
Conference room.
- [42:54]
Brian Green
It is a conference room. It's essentially just an empty building. And she is saying that the ladies are filling out their paperwork. Pre op. Yeah, pre op. The.
- [43:04]
Unknown
She's just taking her time going through it, and we come get them. Look at us, our nurse assistant.
- [43:11]
Chrissy
Nurse assistant.
- [43:11]
Brian Green
Nurse assistant. So someone went to medical school. Medical.
- [43:16]
Chrissy
Yeah. Why.
- [43:19]
Brian Green
Did someone get a hold of that medical license immediately?
- [43:23]
Unknown
Okay, we have our team going up into our deliverance rooms. These are our stairs. We take the ladies up and they're Looking at all these words.
- [43:35]
Brian Green
Okay, first of all, they're going up these stairs. And taped on the floor of these carpeted stairs are words like jealousy, pity, you know, sin, guilt, lust. So already, what a joyous occasion. What a joyous day.
- [43:56]
Chrissy
It looks like a great party.
- [43:57]
Brian Green
It looks. Yeah, it looks like you're about to have a ton of fucking fun, first of all. Second of all, there's a bunch of people in lab coats, medical jackets.
- [44:03]
Chrissy
Just because you put on a lab.
- [44:04]
Brian Green
Coat does not make you a doctor. We Learned this during 20. We had a bunch of kooky bookies out there with their lab coats telling us that, you know, we just. One more chiropractic visit and our herpes would be cured.
- [44:19]
Unknown
That we put here. Fear, rage. Those team members are going to go to their room.
- [44:28]
Brian Green
These team members, she has made this seem from beginning to end like it's a medical procedure that you're having. Now. Listen to what's coming out of these rooms.
- [44:39]
Unknown
This is where we have appointments right now.
- [44:50]
Brian Green
Come out to the abyss. Go, go, go. Chrissy.
- [44:55]
Chrissy
Wow.
- [44:56]
Brian Green
What'd you do today? Oh, I went to. I got my deliverance. I had my Jezebel. Look at that. It says Jezebel.
- [45:09]
Chrissy
Yeah, they make it. It looks like a little hospital.
- [45:11]
Brian Green
It looks like a hospital. There's a bunch of people in lab coats standing outside the door. There's a lady looking for the room she's supposed to be in, and they're all standing there like there's, like, doctors welcoming you in when these are actually wretched human beings who are about to scream at you for the next two hours and make you feel some kind of emotional way so that you are now tied inexorably to this community, to this center. You ready?
- [45:41]
Unknown
Someone's gonna get you back there.
- [45:44]
Brian Green
This is so cool. I'm about to be yelled at for three hours. This is so cool. Can I insta this? Do you mind? Meanwhile, how weird is it to be insta'd while you're having your deliverance?
- [45:54]
Chrissy
Yeah, I was thinking that.
- [45:56]
Brian Green
I don't know about you, Chrissy, but I like my deliverance in private. In private? Yes. If I'm gonna be yelled at, I like it in private. Happens all the time. As a matter of fact, sometimes Astrid puts on a doctor's coat and says, do you know which room you're supposed to be in? Right this way. And two hours later, I come out crying. Someone on the comment section asks, how do you get the lingering spirits out of the building? How do you get the lingering Silly questions out of your head.
- [46:34]
Chrissy
Yeah. It's a clinic.
- [46:35]
Brian Green
Oh, my God. Very clinical. And there's two doctor, two not doctors. There's two nurse coat. People have to go in at the same time. This is insane. This is Scientology level wackadoo.
- [46:49]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [46:49]
Brian Green
Have you ever been to a Scientology center?
- [46:50]
Chrissy
No.
- [46:51]
Brian Green
No. Okay.
- [46:53]
Unknown
Our deliverances are taking place in these deliverance rooms. It is a beautiful sound.
- [47:02]
Brian Green
Yeah, it sounds great. All a bunch of made up, gobbly gook. Unbelievable. This is insane.
- [47:09]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [47:10]
Brian Green
This is insane. To the abyss. To my pocketbook. Into my pocketbook that check will go.
- [47:31]
Chrissy
Clinic's full that day.
- [47:32]
Brian Green
Yeah. Wow. And you know that. Whoa. Sorry about that. You know, the craziest part is there's probably a wait list for this bullshit because they see it on Instagram and they want to be a part of it instantaneously. All right, I think that's. That's the gist of that one. Let's see here if we can look at it.
- [47:50]
Unknown
So I'm here in the sanctuary, and this setup that you see with the curtains is something that the Lord gave me for our deliverance and inner healing clinic today. It's called the forgiveness walkthrough, and we.
- [48:03]
Brian Green
Have the forgiveness walkthrough. Looks like a bunch of white sheets hanging from a rod to me.
- [48:08]
Unknown
Rocks right there. And the ladies will hold onto hard places in their heart. They will walk through the first section, and they will be in this section for a little bit. Got the podium, a Bible there. Representing church leaders, church people, and authority figures. And they will lay down any bitterness, offense.
- [48:30]
Brian Green
Representing church leaders, authority people. So what they. So what she is doing is indoctrinating you to lay down your defenses to the people of the church, to essentially subservient yourself to the people of the church. This is cult activity 101 is what this is. This is insane. You pay for the privilege of being screamed at as if you're a miserable, unworthy human being with all kind of demons in you. And pull it out and you pay for that privilege. And then you stay in a trailer outside on the lawn, and then you gotta pay more money. This is insane. People are insane. What are you doing with your lives? Take a walk.
- [49:26]
Chrissy
You might need to go on that forgiveness walk, Brian.
- [49:29]
Brian Green
I feel like I need some kind of healing right now. I can't believe this is happening.
- [49:32]
Chrissy
Hold onto a rock.
- [49:33]
Brian Green
I cannot believe that this is happening. This is insane to me. This is like literal insanity to me.
- [49:38]
Unknown
Goodness. Then when they feel free from that and they released, they will walk through this area.
- [49:49]
Brian Green
What?
- [49:49]
Chrissy
There's like a little baby.
- [49:51]
Brian Green
There's a baby basket in a chair representing mom and dad. Talk to mom and dad. It's a chair. Talk to them. They're waiting for your apology. It's a chair, ma' am. No, it's mom. It's dad. And talk to that baby basket, too. I don't have any children. You better, you will. You better get over there, talk to that baby. That baby needs feeding. There's no one in there.
- [50:20]
Unknown
Caregivers, family members. So anything in their childhood.
- [50:27]
Rachel
Let's keep going.
- [50:28]
Brian Green
Oh, let's keep going.
- [50:30]
Chrissy
Yeah, I'm. She's doing like a long.
- [50:32]
Unknown
They will pass through the next section. Men and any relationships that they've experienced brokenness from breaking soul ties in this area right here. Then they will pass through the next one.
- [50:51]
Chrissy
Kind of complicated to keep going through these.
- [50:54]
Brian Green
It sounds like too much work. Not to mention it's just insane. But then it just sounds like too much work. Do I really want to go step by step and talk about all my, you know, like, I don't know. Can we do this in Six Flags and go on roller coasters? Like, each roller coaster represents a stage of my life.
- [51:14]
Chrissy
Yeah. When you go up the hill, go up the hill, back up.
- [51:17]
Brian Green
Yeah. And if you want to put like a sign, you want to like print a picture of my mom and put it on one of the seats. I'll scream at her on the way down the hill. We can have fun with that. This is. This is kooky booky shit if you ask me. I mean, listen, to be fair, this. All this new age bullshit is just as kooky. But this is really wild that this person had this idea to make a deliverance center where people paid their hard earned cash. Hard earned money.
- [51:49]
Chrissy
That's the part that's more wild to me is that there's enough people to.
- [51:53]
Brian Green
Go, I totally agree. You want to take a tour of. I know, that's the thing. And probably a wait list, I would imagine because it's 20, 25 and if it's insane, it's happening. Do you want to take a little tour of some of their, like, campground, like where you can stay on the campgrounds? Okay, let's do that. Let's take a break. And we get back. We're going to take a tour of some of the accommodations. When you're getting your deliverance, it's a full on resort.
- [52:19]
Chrissy
Airbnb.

I'm not reading today. What we will learn. Spiritual warfare. Consecration. Spiritual holy living. Activate your gifts. Prophetic training. Deliverance Training. Fasting and prayers. Esther's and Deborahs. Esther's and Deborahs.
- [56:22]
Chrissy
I don't know what that means.
- [56:22]
Brian Green
I don't know why I would want to learn about Esther and Deborah's. We have the best Facebook group ever. So, okay, this is great for $20 a month. $20 a month. Okay, now imagine, Krissy, Rafael and I have done this math a lot. If you just had. We've done this math a lot.
- [56:48]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [56:48]
Brian Green
Okay. Oh, there's different levels. $20 a month. You can get the monthly plan for $30 a month. There's an optional extra donation. You can get two people involved for $40 a month. There's no discount there. I don't understand. It's $20 for one person, $40 for two. There's no discount there. $50 a month. You can just help out the food pantry. I like that idea. Food pantry. Okay, $200. You can pay for the year. Now do this math with me. If you convince 2,000 people to do this and all you have to do is one Zoom call a week, you're making $40,000 a month. It's not bad. It's not bad. Here we can. Here. We can stay at the core campground. Chrissy, this is what I'm talking about. Book. Now. Rest in his presence. Rest in his presence. Hey, girl, you want to come rest in my presence. What's going on with my. Oh, my kids, they totally messed it up. There we go. I'm actually a little disappointed, Chrissy. I didn't think of this in the first place. Hey, girl.
- [57:59]
Chrissy
Hey, Carl.
- [58:00]
Brian Green
How you doing?
- [58:00]
Chrissy
Good.
- [58:01]
Brian Green
I'm a little disappointed I haven't thought about this for my redemption tour. I mean, get a nice piece of land next to the highway and some retention pond and put a few trailers out there and call it Carl's campground and cuckolding resort. You come on and you bring your wife and I'll let you watch in the corner. $20 a month.
- [58:25]
Chrissy
That's reasonable.
- [58:26]
Brian Green
Or $50 a month extra donation. Two. $20 for one person, $55 for two. There's a discount there. I'm not sure how it works out, but you have to get with my accounting people. But I like this girl. I think she's up to some. I think she's up to some good money keeping practices.
- [58:44]
Chrissy
Yeah, definitely.
- [58:45]
Brian Green
I like this. Oh, it's on a 15 acre property. It's glamping campers, so she says, experience a slice of paradise at glamping camp. I'm telling you right now, my boy Biebs wouldn't stay there. No, sir. No, sir. Now it's a little too. It's a little too common folk. For my Biebs though. He is running into some money trouble. So maybe he needs to stay at the campground. Experience a slice of paradise at our glamping campers, nestled right in the heart of COVID campground. Imagine waking up in the tranquil. The tranquil beauty of a highway and a retention pond on our 15 acre property. Embrace the warmth of the crackling fire. Challenge friends to a game on a basketball court. Or just explore the surroundings with bike rentals and kayaks. Extra charge Chrissy for the bike rentals at core campgrounds. It's not just about luxury camping. It's about immersing yourself in nature and finding peace in the presence of the Lord. God. She is speaking my language. Rejuvenate your soul. Tell you what I need to rejuvenate. You know what I need to rejuvenate this hard on. That's right, Chrissy. I need to get it back full strength. Haven't been able to. Not too much sex going on since the whole cheating scandal, if you know what I mean. I've been on lockdown. I've been on lockdown, Chrissy, and that's a bummer. Meet me at the campgrounds.
- [60:07]
Chrissy
I'll meet you there.
- [60:08]
Brian Green
Oh, sweet. I'll talk to Jeff. Jeff into cuckolden. Let me give him a call. I gotta go, girl. I gotta practice up for my next podcast. Reaching on a phone Dick. Bye. Oh, just drop more things. So you too can be in a trailer on a campground. Now, I want you to look at where the campground is located, Chrissy, because I think it's located in the middle of. It's that. That is a lake. I think we could consider that a lake or a large pond. But. Yeah, but look behind it. There's a highway behind it.
- [60:50]
Chrissy
They've gone solar. That's good.
- [60:52]
Brian Green
Yeah, that's good. Oh, you can get a kayak and those little boats that everyone hates. Bike. On a busy Florida street. And there's a campground and a highway right behind it.
- [61:02]
Chrissy
Yep.
- [61:03]
Brian Green
Oh, look, you're right next to the other trailers.
- [61:06]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [61:06]
Brian Green
Wow, that's exciting. There's a major highway running the middle of the campground. This is crazy. Okay, that looks nice. We're looking at the rooms now. Deluxe Queen Glamper. Let's check out and see what this is. That looks small. I don't know why I'd want to stay there. It doesn't look like a relaxing vacation to me. That's why I don't like camping, is because you get stuck. You know, you just get stuck in this tiny little place that looks like a sweaty, sweaty trailer is what that looks like. It looks like there's zero air conditioning.
- [61:37]
Chrissy
Yeah, it's Florida.
- [61:39]
Brian Green
So you're going to be hot as hell. And while the bedding looks nice when you can get out of your bed and step into the kitchen table, that just doesn't feel like the kind of vacation I want to take, you know, I'm just saying. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to knock on it. Some people love that kind of shit. Let's look at the. So let's look at the expensive places, Chrissy, because I think we can afford it. What's this? $150 a night. Okay, maybe we can't afford a full RV. A full RV. Let me ask a question. When you have an RV like this, don't you also have to turn it on in order to get electricity? I think you do. So would it stand to reason that if I rented the rv, I could then also take the rv?
- [62:18]
Chrissy
Take off with it.
- [62:19]
Brian Green
Yeah. And go somewhere nicer. Not next to the highway. Let's look at the photo. This is a nice rv. I will give it that. That I might stay in. I try to. I'm trying to convince Astrid that we should go on A. I want to do cross country trip in an rv, do that. I know, but you have to take, you know, you have to learn how to drive it. Someone's got to learn how to drive it.
- [62:38]
Chrissy
Yes.
- [62:39]
Brian Green
And it's. I think, I think it's. I think it's not the easiest thing in the world to get around in. Plus I see those RVs when I'm driving down the highway and they're going 42 miles per hour. I think I would be very frustrated that everybody and their grandmother was passing me. Yeah. I think my road rage would take hold after a while. Oh, look at that. There's a nice. This is a nice rv. Yeah. Listen, I don't want to be in the presence of the Lord and all that bullshit, but if I could take this RV and, you know, go to Disney World or something, I'd do that. Why not? That'd be great. At least you got. At least there's some fire. It's got. It's got a fireplace. Astrid and I, when we first. When Astrid first got to here, to the US Home, she started living with me. There was a couple of years in a row where we went to the rv, the big RV show show, the conference, whatever it was, and we would walk in and out of every one of those luxury RVs.
- [63:33]
Chrissy
They're really nice. I've been in some that are very nice. Marble floors and like the bathtub Jacuzzi tub.
- [63:41]
Brian Green
Yes. King size bed, 45 inch flat screen TV, satellite capability. Look at that. That's. I would stay there. I would stay there. I just don't want to do it under the guise that I'm going to get delivered or any of that jazz. I could skip that. So. And for 150 bucks a night, you can't rent a luxury RV for $150 a day. That's for sure. So I guess in that sense, if I could drive it away from the campground.
- [64:07]
Chrissy
Right. That's. That would interest you.
- [64:08]
Brian Green
If I could drive it far away from Jenny and all her shenanigans, then I think it would be interesting. But otherwise, luxury requirements. No, look at that. That's a refrigerator's bigger than my refrigerator. Look at that.
- [64:18]
Chrissy
No, I know. I checked into the RV thing because there is a. There's a company where you can, like, rent people's RVs.
- [64:25]
Brian Green
Yeah.
- [64:25]
Chrissy
And check that.
- [64:25]
Brian Green
I've seen that.
- [64:26]
Chrissy
So, yeah, I looked into it. I didn't do it.
- [64:28]
Brian Green
Yeah. I just get a little nervous about showing up at somebody's house to pick up an rv. Not Knowing how to drive one. You know what I'm saying? They're huge. I mean, you have to make decisions about which streets you can go down. Yes, I have a big car, but I don't make decisions about which streets I go down. Sometimes I get a little concerned about the parking lots, but I know I'm pretty much fitting in 90, 99% of them. You. You don't want to get off at the wrong exit with an rv because you won't know where you're going to turn around. You might be 50 miles down the road before you find a way to turn around.
- [64:58]
Chrissy
Yeah.
- [64:59]
Brian Green
Daniel, my father in law, he's a man, so he knows how to drive one of these. They rented one of these in Spain. In Spain.
- [65:09]
Chrissy
Whoa.
- [65:09]
Brian Green
They don't. These things don't even exist in Spain. But somehow Daniel found the one in Spain. And they went to an old village in Spain in the north of Spain, and they had to get to the middle of town for this parking spot that they had arranged. Like, because in Spain, like when we went to Sevilla.
- [65:28]
Chrissy
Well, tiny roads.
- [65:29]
Brian Green
Yeah, I told you. We had to arrange our parking. And then I had to give the owner of the parking lot the keys because there was no way I was able to park in that spot. It was just too small. So they get into town and the overhangs, they're going in between two sets of buildings. And the overhangs, like the little. I don't know what you call them, the things that, you know, hang over the windows to protect you from rain. Oh, they won't allow the RV to fit in between the buildings. There's, like, inches. So they had to knock on doors and ask the people to pull in the overhangs to get into the city center. Astrid said it took, like, hours to get into the city center. That's what makes me nervous about RVing. Plus, I know myself after a couple of days, I want a hotel room. And so what I'm really gonna end up doing is driving the RV around to get to a hotel to go inside and sleep somewhere. But I told Astrid, she said, well, you know, what fun is that? We're just gonna be sitting in a car anyway. I go, no, you can walk around. You can cook breakfast. She said, while you're driving. And I said, yeah, it's perfectly safe. And she's like, not with your driving. We'd have to be locked in.
- [66:41]
Chrissy
Stuff's flying.
- [66:43]
Brian Green
I know. Everything locked down. We probably learned that lesson on day one that if Brian's driving, everything goes underneath the seats. But here's my point. What the fuck are we doing with all this shenanigans? You're selling everything. You're literally selling the carpet out of your. Out of your buildings to willing or unwilling participants. I'm not really sure. And the reality is that I just. I guess this is the part that makes me a little bit sad about this whole thing. It's not that Jenny thinks she's doing some good for people, right? If that's really in her heart, and I don't know what's in anybody else's heart, if that's really what's in her heart, okay, do some good for people. It's that people believe they have to pay Jenny to get somewhere, that they. Because they're not good enough or they don't know enough or they aren't worthy enough or they're not cleansed enough, whatever the case, that they have to spend thousands of dollars potentially to be a part of some community. So that hopefully, fingers crossed. I get in with the big guy. I think you're in with the big guy. I think everything's okay. I think, you know, you just got to be a good person and connect with whatever you call God in your own way and in your own community. And if you go to church because you like the people and they lift you up, it makes you happy and allows you to do good things, that's great. But don't. Don't pander by, like, selling merch. Honestly selling merch. Are you honestly selling T shirts? And it's not even like a T shirt for the church. It's like an entire clothing line that this woman has. It's ridonkulous. It really is. And then you say, well, maybe she needs to make a living. Well, so do I. But you don't see me with merch. And that's only because no one has agreed to make that merchant. We keep calling the companies and they say, no, no. Oh, sorry, can't do it. So sorry. All right, enough of my bitching. I'm sorry.
- [68:42]
Chrissy
No, it's okay. I mean, this is very interesting and sad.
- [68:48]
Brian Green
Yes, yes. Interesting and sad. That's a good way to put it.
- [68:50]
Chrissy
This reel of the RV looks nice.
- [68:53]
Brian Green
Yeah. Let's get out of here. I know. What are we doing on Saturday? Let's just get an RV and head out of town. We'll do four minute podcasts from the road and we'll put it up there. Hey, we're in Alabama. Hey, still in Alabama. Hey, still in Alabama.
- [69:10]
