- [03:08]
B
Really?
- [03:09]
A
And crying when she didn't get the special or whatever it is. The special labubu. Chrissy. What in the world is going on? What in the world is going on?
- [03:18]
B
Bizarro.
- [03:19]
A
It's. It's like late stage consumerism run amok. And I love it. I love consumerism. I'm all about it. I love buying things.
- [03:28]
B
Who doesn't?
- [03:28]
A
When I got this sweater, it made me so happy for one minute until I got the credit card bill. You know what I'm saying?
- [03:36]
C
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
- [03:45]
A
Oh, yeah. Guys and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break again. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Kristen Joy Ho. The best to you, Kristen.
- [03:54]
B
Best to you, Brian.
- [03:55]
A
Best you out there in the podcast universe. Case you didn't know, we are testing out our capabilities to go live on Twitch and YouTube for now, maybe other platforms later. And I know we got at least one person watching.
- [04:06]
B
We do.
- [04:07]
A
Lauren. Lauren. Lauren says hi. Hi, Lauren. How are you doing?
- [04:10]
B
Yes.
- [04:10]
A
So make sure you subscribe to our Twitch TCB podcast. Go to YouTube at the commercial break. You can type that in. Or slash commercial the commercial break and you can follow us, turn on your notifications so you know when we are going live, which we intend to do at least a couple of times a week moving forward, we're testing it all here. You know how it goes. When we test something in the studio, it all goes wrong. So this is like our second, maybe third time starting the show here on the live stream because recording is an important part of what we do. Since you can't go live on the RSS feed. There you go. Anyway, another person has fallen off a carnival cruise. What? What? No, guys, it's just like. Okay, you know what? This is a great topic to talk about because I wanted to discuss this a couple of weeks ago. A thorough investigation has been done into the Disney accident that happened on that boat. They have come out with more information. Neither the father nor the mother are going to be charged in the incident. However, if you recall. Let me, let me take you through the timeline of what happened, in case you don't know, back in June, May or June of this year. I want to say it was months ago. A little girl, five years old, six years old, I think she was, fell off a Disney cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean. She fell off the ship, like 12 stories. 7, 9, 10, 12 stories, whatever it is. I know the. I guess it depends on how high the boat is sitting in the water, but it's not a small fall, it is a large fall. Stories. You're talking tens of feet, 70, 80, 90ft off of the Lido deck, which is, or the promenade, which is the deck that goes all the way around the boat. People walk around it. You can, you know, it's basically the balcony deck. You can go out there and chill.
- [05:54]
B
Is the pool on this deck or no?
- [05:56]
A
No, the pool is above the deck. Yeah, it's higher. So she falls off and in an instant her father, who was lauded as a hero, as he should be, jumped right in after her, found her and held her above water for 20 plus minutes while Disney did what they do, which is. And they did apparent, apparently very efficiently, effectively and with like. They did exactly what they should have done, by all accounts, including the sheriff's office, who investigated.
- [06:27]
B
Sirens.
- [06:28]
A
Sirens. Boat in the water. Yes, including the mother. The mother and a bunch of people get on a boat, they take it down to the water, which in and of itself probably takes 5, 10 minutes to do, and then they find the child and the father, who has been now treading water with his daughter. Treading water with his daughter for many minutes. One minute of treading water with a child in your arms. I can tell you as a guy who has a lot children, it's a lot. You feel like you're being pulled down under. So God bless that this all worked out okay. The father ended up having a broken back. The child suffered some bruises and obviously emotional distress. But they were found, they were brought back to the ship and an investigation ensued. When this became public knowledge the very next day, many people took to all the different platforms, including an unverified source that was supposedly on the boat that said, yeah, that's because the mother had her on the railing. The railing taking a picture. And then a couple of days later the sheriff's office came out and said, there are a lot of stories going around on social media right now. Please don't jump to conclusions because what you're hearing probably isn't true. I don't. That's all I have to say, period. In the sentence. Imagine. Guess what? It was true.
- [07:46]
B
What?
- [07:47]
A
After investigation. After an investigation and talking to many people who were on the boat and people who saw what happened, the mother asked the young lady to sit in a essentially porthole, a place where there is not glass or Plexiglas on the railing.
- [08:06]
D
Oh, my God.
- [08:06]
A
She asked her to sit there for a picture, and when she did, she fell backwards. The father, who was close, within 10 or 15ft, saw what happened and saw or heard what happened and wasted no time, jumped in directly after her. The parents will not be charged in this incident because the sheriff's office believes they have suffered enough emotional distress and that there was no malfeasance in what happened. In other words, the lady was just dumb. I mean, just dumb as dirt. And I. I don't want to like, knock another parent because parenting is hard in the first place, but you don't put your child on a railing on a cruise ship. No, there is. Do you know the chances of someone surviving that kind of accident? Do you know? I don't know what the chances are, but it can't be a lot because that's like concrete.
- [08:57]
B
When you hit the water, you have.
- [08:59]
A
To hit the water in a certain way to make sure that you don't break every little bone in your body. And the father suffered a broken back because he probably hit the water the wrong. Hard to control your body. You know, if you're Jumping more than 10ft, your body wants to go where you're like, I don't know, wherever it wants to go. Yeah, look at all those. Look at all those kids on TikTok and Instagram. And I say kids, you know, the teenagers and the guys in their early 20s, mainly guys doing these incredibly insane high jumps off of all different manner of places, high up in the air into water. One of these kids, one of these guys who is very famous for doing this, broke like 36 bones in his body. And he's back at it.
- [09:41]
B
Of course.
- [09:41]
A
Of course. But, you know, youth is for the young. And I guess if you're going to do that, then go ahead and do that. But this goes to show brains. Yeah. Underdeveloped brain is the woman who allowed her child to sit on a railing.
- [09:55]
B
I know. That's like those where you go to. You've heard of the zoo stuff where people go in trying to get a picture with the animals.
- [10:02]
A
Harambee. Yeah. Harambe is dead because. Well, I don't know if. Did the kid get into the enclosure or did his mom put him on the railing? I don't remember. But remember they shot Harambe. Unbelievable. Unbelievable that this mother would think this. But yet now here we have another incident out at sea of someone just being silly and being silly or on purpose, whatever.
- [10:25]
B
What happened in that instance.
- [10:28]
A
There's not a lot of details around it, but apparently overboard. There you go. Some people do do this, by the way, not to talk about unaliving yourself, but some people do do this. Like it's a plan that they have and they go and they do it and it's sad and whatever. And this is actually. There's a rash of these happening right now in Disney World, too. People jumping off the contemporary hotel. People.
- [10:47]
B
Really?
- [10:47]
A
Yes. People unaliving themselves at Disney World. I guess they think it's like they want to spend the last day of their life at the happiest place on earth. But it's a problem for Disney because it's caused. It's a problem for Disney because that's not. You know, no one wants to encounter that any.
- [11:04]
B
No one else's happiest day.
- [11:06]
A
No. Yeah. I mean, imagine you're. It's just a whole fucking sad situation. But anyway, so Carnival Cruise, you know, they are trying to whip that. Those cruise ships into shape by putting all these new rules and all that. And, you know, you still got people out there doing the hooky dookie. Why would you. Why would you sit on a balcony? No.
- [11:28]
B
I don't know. And to me, like, the picture that you could get, what would that. It's just going to be the water in the background. I don't know.
- [11:34]
A
Can't you get that by just standing at the balcony?
- [11:36]
B
Yes.
- [11:36]
A
What is like. I don't know this. They didn't give the details, but when people fall overboard, I think you really have to make an effort to fall overboard on most of these cruise ships. I've been on a few. I think you really have to. On a Disney cruise, you have to make a concerted effort to fall overboard. There's plexiglass everywhere. Yeah, yeah. And they have the high railings that comes up to like your armpit on an adult, basically on. On your armpit. And they do have furniture out on the balconies. But I mean, it would have to be shuffled around.
- [12:05]
B
Yeah.
- [12:06]
A
With knowledge and with intent. The first thing you do when you're a parent and you have kids and you go on a cruise and you have a balcony is you take the furniture off the door off of the balcony. Right. That's what you do. At least that's what I do. Because it just, it, there's zero chance. Zero chance. But anyway, Chrissy and I will be doing our Cruise Ship Tour 2026. Gonna be going on the Jimmy Buffett. My kids are like watching this. Here's why I don't like YouTube for kids sometimes. All of these channels that these fame, now very famous children on YouTube have, they're all based around one thing, spending money and incredible amounts of it.
- [12:51]
B
The unboxing.
- [12:52]
A
The unboxing. Every toy in the world that they get for free from all the toy companies, the vacations that they get free from the, you know, resort, cruise and hospitality industry, they basically get thrown all of these incredible gifts and then they, the kids unbox them. I'm sure with the parents out now, this is where as a parent you, you have to make some decisions in your life. It's like, yeah, I don't want my kid to be out there on YouTube 24 hours a day. I want to be, essentially be a child star with all the child star problems.
- [13:24]
B
But they make a lot of money.
- [13:27]
A
They got some cool vacations, they go, you know what I'm saying?
- [13:29]
B
They make a lot of money and they get the free toys and vacations.
- [13:32]
A
Should I throw away any chance my child has at a normal future for short term vacation gain? And the answer in my head is yes, but my wife says no. So for right now, at least, I haven't. I've lost the war, but I will. I mean, I've lost the battle, but I will win the war.
- [13:48]
B
What about if we did an unboxing?
- [13:49]
A
Yeah. I just don't think it's the same when Chrissy and Brian are unboxing. What are we going to unbox? Five hour energy. If you want us to unbox five hour energy, we have a lot of five hour energy.
- [14:02]
B
I just got the holiday package.
- [14:03]
A
I just got the holiday packaged. I'm gonna die of a caffeine overdose at some point. Listen, these. And so these kids, they're going on this vacation, like obviously given to them by Royal Caribbean, but they get the suite on the boat, on the brand new boat, the brand new suite with the slide and the water bed, you know, bunk beds and four rooms and TVs that slide out.
- [14:28]
B
They get their own slide.
- [14:29]
A
It's A slide in the room.
- [14:31]
B
Oh, wow.
- [14:31]
A
It's a slide that you take from the second story down to the first story.
- [14:35]
B
Oh, that's cool.
- [14:36]
A
This is a suite that even on you would be happy to have, right? Like if you went to an Airbnb, this would be the best Airbnb you went to. But this is on a cruise ship with 180 degree view of the ocean and the boat and high up in the air where you're overlooking the, you know, the pool deck or whatever they call the poop deck. I love that they call it the poop deck. So my kids are watching this. We very rarely let them watch YouTube, but I'm like, okay, go ahead. You know, if you want to watch a video, just let me see what you're watching. And it's like, you know, Kylie and Casey take vacation. And I'm like, kylie and Casey, what could that, you know, I'll watch it with them. And then all of the sudden they're in this $50,000 a night suite on a 50 day cruise, vacation, getting pampered. And then Jojo Siwa shows up in the video, like on the cruise. And I'm like, why is Jojo Siwa showing up on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship to meet these Kylie and Casey? I don't know who they are, but okay. And my kids are then begging, begging us, can we please go on a royal. Can we please get that room? Go on a Royal Caribbean cruise? To which I say no, to which Astrid says yes, you keep on saving your money and then we can go on it. And so then we're trying to do the math. They're trying to do the math. And one kid's like, I got $31 bills. And I'm like, times 1,000 times. Every five hours you're on the cruise and there you go. That's it. You can't do that.
- [16:09]
B
Marketing. I mean, that's a good marketing trick. Get the kids on board to pester the parents.
- [16:13]
A
Yes. We had nothing like this when we were children. There was no such thing as unboxing. Unboxing happened on Christmas. And it was usually a box we were unboxing. These kids on YouTube, they are unboxing box after box after box after box. Thousands and thousands of toys. The best toys. The, you know, and they got rooms full of toys and they live in these Candyland mansions. It's completely unrealistic. And so while it's fun fantasy and I, you know, I don't argue their ability to make a living doing it. I'm not knocking the kids. It's just complete. It's a fantasy land that is unattainable by any stretch of the imagination. Unless you are willing to be a child star unboxing these gifts. And even then this market is saturated. There are adults who unbox there. I saw the Boo Boo unboxing and you would have thought it was Kylie and Casey was not Kylie and Casey. It was a 46 year old woman who was unboxing 300 Labubus.
- [17:14]
B
Really?
- [17:15]
A
And crying when she didn't get the special or whatever it is. The special Labubu Chrissy. What in the world is going on? What in the world is going on?
- [17:25]
B
Bizarro.
- [17:26]
A
It's cons. It's like late stage consumerism run amok. And I love it. I love consumerism. I'm all about it. I love buying things.
- [17:35]
B
Who doesn't?
- [17:36]
A
When I got this sweater, it made me so happy for one minute until I got the credit card bill. You know what I'm saying?
- [17:43]
B
Yes.
- [17:44]
A
But this lady was going bananas over these Laboo. First of all, Labubus 6 days ago, don't buy Labubus. Now. If you think you're gonna make money on Labub, you're someone else is making money on you buying their Labubus. The Boo Boos are no longer the thing.
- [17:58]
B
They're like the Beanie Babies.
- [17:59]
A
They're. They're already gone. They'll come back in trend and fashion at some point. But you know, a trend is only a trend is called a trend because it goes Labu Boo because it goes like this and like this. La Poo Poo. What's. What also is hot right now and what's been hot for a long time is Pokemon.
- [18:17]
B
Oh God, did that ever really go away.
- [18:19]
A
Here's what's happening in the Pokemon world. I think I should inform you. I think I should give you a heads up on this.
- [18:24]
B
Okay?
- [18:24]
A
I've been following these Pokemon Pokemon card accounts on Instagram because that's really where all the drama is, is in the Pokemon world. You see with the cards, with the cards.
- [18:36]
B
Back to the cards.
- [18:36]
A
Back to the cards.
- [18:37]
B
Those were the original.
- [18:38]
A
Those are the og and now they're back. And you know, they make them in limited editions and special runs and special packages and they, they meaning the Pokemon community go apeshit over Pokemons. And what is happening is there is a whole cottage industry of what they call scam artists, what I call first in line people who will go when the Walmart is going to put out the new Pokemons. And they will buy the entire shelf of it. And there's 50 other people waiting behind them and they refuse to give them anything. To me, it's kind of a dick move. But it's late stage consumerism that there's where it is. Where in the rules does it say he can't buy all of them. He should be a good human and give some to other people. But that's not what he's going to do because he is just profiting off of these cards. And so they go in, they clean out the Walmart. Here's another one. Just had a video right here near where I live. And this, like this was, you know, hundreds of thousands of views on this video of a security guard at a Kroger here in Atlanta standing in front of the Pokemon machine. Have you seen the Pokemon machines that sell Pokemon cards? They're these big digital machines.
- [19:51]
B
Your Kroger. I need to go to this Kroger.
- [19:54]
A
Because it's a video, it's a casino.
- [19:57]
B
And it's got 30 people with the Pokemon box, everything.
- [20:04]
A
You can buy lotto tickets, Pokemon and go bankrupt in the casino all in one fall swoop. And if you need a gallon of milk to bring home on the way, tell your wife you just busted $10,000 at the Kroger casino.
- [20:17]
B
Yes.
- [20:18]
A
This security guard stands in front of the Pokemon machine waiting for someone to transfer money into his account so that he can clean out the special edition Pokemon cards that have just been put in the machine minutes earlier. So he's got the inside track because he knows when the Pokemon cards are coming. Then he's standing there guarding the machine while other people behind him are waiting. And he's waiting for someone to transfer money into his account so he can get these Pokemon cards.
- [20:46]
B
There was an actual security guard, like making sure that people didn't get too crazy.
- [20:50]
A
No. This security guard is probably getting paid 13 an hour and says this, I can make some money on these Pokemon. I'm going to stand here and wait. I'm going to stand here and get it. Listen, you can't argue because there's no rules. Doesn't say on the Pokemon machine, please patiently. If you can't, if your money isn't transferred in your account in two minutes, you must leave. That's not how it goes. And he's a security guard. What are you going to do? You're going to push him out of the way? Maybe, I don't know. But then you're probably going to get in trouble with the security guard. So it's just.
- [21:20]
B
So he is an actual security guard.
- [21:22]
A
He's a security guard at the fucking.
- [21:23]
B
Kroger, doubling as also Pokemon broker.
- [21:28]
A
A broker of Pokemon. Yeah. Broker of Pokemen, if you will. Chrissy. Pokemon Pokeman. It is literally kind of insane. Why, How I understand these Pokemon cards can be worth hundreds of thousands and a couple of them millions of dollars.
- [21:46]
B
Really?
- [21:47]
A
Yes. Yes. What is the most expensive Pokemon? I. I think one of the. One of the twins, one of the boys was involved in this. The Paul brothers.
- [21:56]
B
Oh. Oh, the Paul.
- [21:58]
A
Most expensive Pokemon card ever. $250,000. 30 most expensive Pokemon cards ever sold. Are you ready? Get ready for this.
- [22:14]
B
Okay.
- [22:15]
A
A Japanese promo illustrator. Holo. Cororo. Cororo Comics. $5.2 million.
- [22:26]
B
Wow.
- [22:26]
A
Jesus. Can you imagine? Can you imagine just like all of a sudden having a $5.2 million piece of property in your fucking hands because you waited at the machine as the security guard and Kroger to cockblock everybody else from getting these people are going bananas over the collectibles right now. Collectibles are the thing. They're in fashion, I guess, in kind.
- [22:52]
B
Of a down economy. That's what happens, right?
- [22:55]
A
Lottery, lottery. Casinos, collectibles, they all go up in value. You want to know why? Because we. It's an. It's an act of desperation. Now, of course, there are Pokemon collectors that are very serious. This is what they do. They love it. It's, you know, they're all about collecting the cards. And you can appreciate that. You know, I had a Dick Tracy collection, right? Worked out. Worked out in my favor. Yeah. Most expensive Dick Tracy card ever sold. It says, add on to value. Meal at McDonald's. 32 cents. You can appreciate the true Pokemon collectors. It's the guys and girls who are in there brokering, you know, getting in the middle of a transaction, it's always.
- [23:39]
B
Going to be that.
- [23:40]
A
Well, also, I think you have to be really fucking lucky to get one of those super expensive cards. But what they're doing is they're. They're. They're essentially creating a run on the bank. How are they doing that? They're doing that by gobbling all. Gobbling it all up and then reselling it on whatever, you know, sites you read sell Pokemon cards on for five point Pokemon. The Men of Pokey.
- [24:03]
B
The Men of Pokey.
- [24:07]
A
Hey, listen, Bouquet. Bouquet. I remember 1980, 1999, whatever. A girl that I lived with came home with a box of Pokemon car, like, you know, individually wrapped, you know, like a. Like a tops baseball card box. And she was like, hey, one of my skater friends gave this to me, like, wants to take me on a date. So I think he's trying to butter me up, but I have no, whatever this, you can have it. And I opened one of those, and I was like, I don't understand a word of this. I have no idea what.
- [24:39]
B
This will never take off.
- [24:40]
A
This will never be worth money. Throw that directly in the trash. It was probably $5.2 million Kororo. Kororo promo illustrator. $5.2 million, because that's the kind of investment vehicle Brian Greene is. Yeah, the kind of nose right off the cliff. Yes, I do have a nose for bad investments. All right, let's. Let's take a break, and when we get back, maybe we'll talk a little Frankie B.
- [25:08]

There's a new Starbucks.
- [29:49]
B
Have you seen this barista?
- [29:51]
A
Okay, I wanted.
- [29:52]
B
People are going crazy over there, going bonkers for these adorable teddy bear glass cups at Starbucks. The 20 ounce holiday bottles called barista cold cups debuted yesterday and immediately sold out. But most customers are leaving empty handed. This is the much sought after barista cold cup. It's a bear shaped glass mug with a green beanie and a Starbucks logo on its belly. It sells for 29.95. But if you're looking for one, be prepared to spend a lot more on ebay. They're selling for up to 550.
- [30:28]
A
Holy. I gotta use my connections up at the Starbucks and get me a barista cold cup. What in the world? So, okay, so I've seen all these videos of people just going. They're like losing their Looney Tune mind over the barista cup. They're standing in line hours before the Starbucks open in the cold and hot and the rain and whatever. And then they're opening the doors. And most stores only have one or two of them, right? They were very limited edition, so most stores are only getting a couple of them. And then people have been taking videos of the. There was one video in particular. Now, I don't know what the rules are. Not sure how.
- [31:04]
B
This one in the flesh, in the, in the plastic.
- [31:07]
A
I'll tell you a story in just a second. I wish I did. I would have bought it and, you know, I'd been up $300. So there's a video going around and people can find it on their own. There's a video going around of the store opens at 5am let's say. And at 5:01 the manager opens the cash register. She like, you know, goes to the cash register, but she doesn't open the front door where at least 30 people are waiting. The employees of the store then walk, grab the barista and buy them themselves. Oh, and you can see this because most Starbucks are just, you know, they have glass windows. I mean, it's easy to see Inside of a Starbucks. You can see it. And people were freaking out because this place only had two or three of them and they were purchased by the employees. So I go, so I'm watching all these videos of these people just losing their mind over barista. Same thing that happened with the whatever cups back early or those cups that everyone was so excited about.
- [32:12]
B
Was it the Starbucks?
- [32:13]
A
Yeah, the Starbucks, the whatever. They were, you know, everybody gets excited about the cups. So this happened like six months ago at the beginning of the year. They released a special cop, and everyone went crazy, and people were stealing them, and so the barista cups. So I go into the Starbucks today and seeing all my peeps, and I say, hey, what you got any of these cups? These barista cups? And the manager explains, I got reamed. First customer this morning. I got reamed out. Like, someone was yelling at me across the store. And I said, for what? Because we didn't have any of the barista cups. And I'm like, okay, you don't have any. And she's like, no, this store has not gotten any yet. And I don't know if we'll get any. They don't tell us that, oh, there's an arrival. Yeah, if it shows up, it shows up. If it, you know, it shows up in our orders, it shows up in our orders. If it doesn't, it doesn't. And she said, we don't have any. And I explained this to the customer, and they went crazy accusing us of. Of taking. And I was like, geez, these poor, you know, I know these poor service employees.
- [33:17]
B
Well, I saw Starbucks, too, is getting ready to, like, try and unionize.
- [33:20]
A
I think there's been a couple of.
- [33:22]
B
Some kind of striking.
- [33:24]
A
Yeah, there's been a number of stores throughout the country who have started to. Started to form a union, are trying to form a union. They're trying to get a vote to form a union. And, you know, listen, like, unions. Don't like unions, at least at first. I think most of them are altruistic in their intent to protect things better. The employees. Yeah, the employees up there were telling me that now they, like, there's certain things they can and can't wear that they used to be able to wear. Certain things. There are certain things they can and can't say where they used to be able to say. It's just like the, you know, the corporate model has started to stamp itself out everywhere. And listen, Starbucks has been that way for a long time. As a matter of fact, when you think of corporations Here in the United States, Starbucks is probably one that you think of that has managed to leak its way into the entirety of the world's societal woes. I mean Starbucks is on every fucking corner everywhere throughout the globe. I can't think of a place I've traveled where there isn't a Starbucks. True, Aruba, there. But that's just because maybe it wasn't around me, but I'm sure it was somewhere and I'll be damned if they didn't sell the Starbucks cold coffee in the grocery stores. So Starbucks is everywhere all throughout Europe? You may all throughout Europe they either have a Starbucks somewhere within earshot. I was driving in the French countryside on my way to Barcelona. From Paris to Barcelona, it's like a 20 hour drive and we had to take it in one shot. Me and my brother in law. Don't even ask why we were driving. We, it was, you know, I don't know, 50 degrees in France and it would drive up into the Pyrenees mountains and it's snowing up there and we would stop at a gas, the gas station would be like every 350km or whatever it was. They were spaced out because we really were in the French countryside, the middle of nowhere. You would stop, they would have a Starbucks machine that would make you whatever Starbucksicos you wanted. Do you know what I'm saying? Cold coffee, hot coffee, cappuccino, frappuccino, mocha latte, whatever it was.
- [35:29]
B
I remember seeing them very much in Italy, but.
- [35:32]
A
Well, yeah, you know, the Italians, they have pride. It's not that the French don't. The French also have a great history with coffee, but the Italians, I mean, yeah, there's some really good coffee in Italy and in Spain, but that doesn't stop Starbucks from popping up at every corner. There's a Starbucks in Venice. Venice. There's a Starbucks in Venice. Think about that, A Starbucks in Venice. Well, I guess you can't win them all, Chrissy.
- [36:01]
B
They have the bears.
- [36:01]
A
What's that?
- [36:02]
B
Is it international?
- [36:03]
A
I don't know.
- [36:04]
B
Okay.
- [36:04]
A
I don't know. It seems like it should be or would be causing problems all over the world.
- [36:09]
B
Well, I like the little beret. That seems French.
- [36:11]
A
Yeah, it's a beanie. It's a beanie. Yeah, twist this little.
- [36:15]
B
Have a beret in France and it's.
- [36:17]
A
Glass, it's gonna break in two seconds, you know it is. And what are you gonna. It's a bear. What are you gonna do with that bear? You're gonna like it for one Christmas season and it's gonna be worth a dollar next year. It's gonna go. I guarantee. If you go to any goodwill next year, next February, if you go to any goodwill, there's gonna be 10 baristas there for sale. Just like the Labubus. By the way, they're starting to pop up at the Goodwills. Uh huh huh. See, when. When your collectible $3 million lafufu shows up at your local Salvation army, the trend is probably over. I'm just saying. But not Pokemon. No, no, no, no, no.
- [36:55]
B
It's, it's. It's been consistent.
- [36:57]
A
Don't let the men of Pokey the Poke the Poke men. All right, listen. Just for shits and giggles, Chrissy and I are going to take a look back. Those of you that are just tuning in, which I know of, you, Chrissy and I have had a long suffering love affair with a man named Frankie B. Frank bonado. He's on YouTube. He's a pickup artist. He's. He's a man of many different.
- [37:26]
B
Well, yeah. What?
- [37:27]
A
Lifestyle workout, lifestyle fitness, fun, fashion, food. He does it all. Like, the guy is into everything, but he really, really. What he does is he gives terrible relationship advice for men in their used to be 40s. Now it's 50 60s, sometimes 70s.
- [37:44]
B
Yeah.
- [37:44]
A
He's for the older crowd. He likes to give you some life lessons.
- [37:49]
B
Like if you've been out, you've been out of the game for a while. But out of the jumping back in.
- [37:53]
A
You want to get back in. Chrissy's got it right. Then don't. Don't turn off Frankie. Don't sleep on Frankie, because Frankie is the man. He knows what to do. He knows how to do it. He's been there, done that. Divorced three times, lives in his daughter's apartment. He. This guy. But, you know, there's something about this particular pickup artist. And I think I would call him, like, maybe not, maybe not technically a pickup artist.
- [38:20]
B
He's like a.
- [38:20]
A
But he's in the zone.
- [38:21]
B
He's like a life coach.
- [38:23]
A
Yeah.
- [38:23]
B
Slash pickup artist.
- [38:25]
A
Yeah. Depends on which day you catch him on what video you're watching. But I will say this. He is the most lovable. I think he's just like the drunk uncle, you know, he means no harm. He's trying his best. So Frankie has. Sometimes he goes through a spurt where he'll create a lot of content. Sometimes he'll be creating no content whatsoever. We're on one of these dry patches.
- [38:48]
B
Which is where we think that he has a girlfriend.
- [38:51]
A
Yes. Anytime he's in a serious committed relationship, it's likely that that young lady, or lady is telling him, if I see another one of those fucking videos pop up, it's over between you and I. Yeah, and that's. That'd be my first request, too, honestly. Same thing with the commercial break. If for some reason I found myself ever single again, which I hope never to be, I think that it would be likely that if I got into a committed relationship, the first thing would be, take that before we meet my parents. Take it all off the Internet, all of it. But. So since we're on this dry spell, I thought, okay, it's been too long. It's been months since we've talked about Frankie. Why don't we. Why don't we go back way to the beginning? Because we're now six years into this. There's got to be, you know, there's some enough time has passed. So. Here we go.
- [39:40]
B
This is where we originally fell in love with him.
- [39:42]
A
This is, I think, our very first Frank Bonado video, which we called him Bernardo. Bernardo forever. Until one of our production assistants said, bernardo. Okay, whatever. B. Yeah, B, that's right. Oh, what's going on here? Why can't I hear him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see here. Do I have him on mute? Frankie.
- [40:07]
B
Oh, Frankie.
- [40:08]
A
Oh, Frankie, where are you? Where are you, Frankie? Oh, what's going on with Frankie? I thought we would be able to hear him. Well, that's.
- [40:16]
B
We were able to hear him in the test session.
- [40:18]
A
Yeah, in the test session. But, you know, that's. The test session, Chrissy. Why would it go right here?
- [40:24]
B
No, it wouldn't.
- [40:25]
A
No, of course not. Why would anything go right while we're actually doing it? Let's see here. Well, I got it set to the right. Oh, no, I don't. Never mind. There we go. Okay, now let's see. It's probably going to cause some horrible feedback and crash the whole system, but that's okay. We'll try it again. Here we go. Ready?
- [40:43]
F

A

B
What are you waiting for?

A
And. And now. We didn't know. For years, we didn't know who this woman was. It was in the beginning of this video, and then all of a sudden, she appeared in one of his videos. And then we were like, oh, okay. They're. They claim to be just friends, but I don't know. The friends do this to other friends.

F
5 of you guys are wrong.

- [46:45]
B
Your marriage and your relationship. Yeah, this sucks.
- [46:47]
A
Yeah, this sucks. I hate our marriage. It's terrible. It's got such an attitude problem.
- [46:54]
F
Cheating spouse, she's always going to try and rationalize her behavior. Always going to try and make out marriage is far worse than what it is. You know why? Because it makes Them feel like cheating wasn't an option. I had to do it. It was so bad. They're getting all the.
- [47:16]
A
I love how this is the convert. The exact convers that Frankie had with at least one of his ex wives.
- [47:22]
B
Exactly.
- [47:23]
A
Yeah. I had to do it. Frankie, you didn't have to do it. You could have been one of the four guys in the room that didn't. 4.7 guys in the room that didn't have their wives cheating on me to.
- [47:33]
F
Call and dramatic on the marriage. They're judgmental. Everything you do is wrong. All of a sudden.
- [47:39]
A
Why? Why?

F
All of a sudden? You know why? Because she's trying to rationalize her thoughts. You know, women are a strange breed.

A
He's too passionate about this strange breed. Women are a strange breed. And what are you, Frankie? What are you?
- [47:56]
F
They can actually train themselves in their mind.
- [47:59]
A

- [48:08]
B
Yeah, I used to work with a Don.
- [48:10]
A
Used to work with a Don. I know career bartenders who are very good at what they do.
- [48:16]
B
Yes.
- [48:16]
A
But then I know some bartenders who. That's just what they happen to do because, hey, listen, girls keep coming. The cash is good. You know what I'm saying? There's a coke dealer at the end.
- [48:28]
F
Of the bar to fabricate this. This marriage that just ain't working. So they can justify their ass cheating. Pay attention to that.

All right, back live on Twitch and on YouTube. Make sure that you Follow us. The commercial break on YouTube. Turn on your notifications and Twitch TCB podcast. We're back with Frankie. We're reviewing a pretty old video. We actually did this, I think maybe the first season.
- [52:12]
B
Definitely one of the. Yeah, we were in the other studio.
- [52:14]
A
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. And the other studio means across the hall.
- [52:18]
B
Yes.
- [52:18]
A
In case anybody was wondering. Not like we got some major upgrade. We just took over my other kids room. We've been in all my kids rooms. Here we go.
- [52:28]
F
Tip number two. It's the intimacy.
- [52:30]
B
Number two.
- [52:31]
A
Number two.
- [52:33]
B
Like that.
- [52:33]
A
Yeah, with the devil horns. Yeah, the devil horn too.
- [52:39]
F
Hello. Now this could be for a lot of reasons. You know, women are. Are very moody, so.
- [52:48]
B
What a strange breed.
- [52:49]
E
Very.
- [52:50]
A
Frankie, Frankie, come on, man. You've been on this earth too long. You know, this is all misogynistic bullshit. You can't. Can't talk like this anymore. Back in your day in Chicago, 1960s, 70s, when you're a teenager. I get it. You know, just whatever tail sign, you know.
- [53:10]
F
If your sexual life has just been fading on a regular basis, why is that all of a sudden? It's very easy. Gentlemen, open your eyes. She's getting laid from someone else.
- [53:22]
B
Oh, my God.
- [53:24]
A
That's not true. Frankie, it's not true. Relationships go through seasons. They all do. It's part of what happens.
- [53:32]
B
And if you've got kids.
- [53:33]
A
Oh, God. If you have kids, forget about it.
- [53:36]
B
Makes it harder.
- [53:37]
A
Yeah, I'm surprised people have more kids when they already have kids. It's like, when do you have time to have sex? How does that happen? When do you have time?
- [53:46]
B
Story right now. And they had 11 kids.
- [53:48]
A
Jeez Jones, have mercy.
- [53:50]
B
I was like, oh, my God.
- [53:51]
A
Yeah, like those 16 kids and counting. 16 idiots and counting. Holy potatoes. How do you. That lady was pregnant every year for 20 years or something.
- [54:01]
F
Constantly rejecting you. Open your eyes. So tip number three.
- [54:06]
A
What. What is going on here? What are you doing with your vans? Kicked off on the camera, idiot.
- [54:12]
F
Constantly asking you to go take trip. Why don't you go?
- [54:16]
B
Get away.
- [54:16]
F
Why don't you go visit family? How about the golf trip with the buddies? You need to go.
- [54:22]
A
Why did you pack a bag and get an apartment and move out for six to seven months?
- [54:26]
B
Try it.
- [54:27]
A
Turn off the nests and all the ring doorbell cameras. If you don't mind, I'm changing the security code. I'll be sleeping in the guest room with brand new sheets every day. Go ahead. She's telling you to go away. Yes, there might be a problem. In the relationship, there's a reason why.
- [54:45]
F
She wants you gone so she can spend more time with the person she's cheating with. Constantly push, push, pushing for you to take a trip. There's a reason why.
- [55:01]
A
Everything'S an ulterior motive to Frankie. But this one I could see. Like, if you have a loved one and they're like, hey, what are your friends doing? Ah, they're, they're going to Vegas and they're going to spend the week. You should go again to Vegas. Third weekend in a row.
- [55:18]
B
See what's out there.
- [55:19]
A
What is your aunt in Barcelona doing this month? You should go there.
- [55:25]
F
Or do you ever notice that the routine might be changing? Especially if you've been in a long term marriage? Let's face it, you have a routine and your wife has a routine. If all of a sudden that routine starts changing, well, there's a reason why. Because she's making time for the person that she's cheating with. So you need to pay special attention.
- [55:49]
A
I know everything's so dramatic. Okay?
- [55:52]
F
Pay attention. If she's doing things different, her routine varies. She's going out more, she's dressing different, she looks different, she's coming home.
- [56:02]
A
She got a new pair of socks yesterday. Look at her hair's did. All of her nails are painted. These are all signs. She's right up the divorce paperwork. She's cheating your ass a little later.
- [56:14]
F
She got stuck at the office where she never got stuck before. Guys, these are telltale signs. It could happen once in a while. I get that. But just pay attention to the pattern.
- [56:27]
B
Just be suspicious.
- [56:28]
A
Yes. Just be highly paranoid and anxious about everything that happens in your marriage. Then you're out. Yeah, basically. She's cheating. Don't even, don't even question anything. She's cheating. Out.
- [56:41]
F
Before we get into tip number five, let's talk about a few things. You know, most guys, when they get into their 50s or 50s, they get very complacent. They're not really paying attention to what's going on, the obvious signs, because you're, you're so caught up in your, your own life, your routine. You always take your wife, spouse for granted. And that's probably not a good thing to do. You know, if there's water going on in the background.
- [57:14]
A
What's that?
- [57:14]
B
It sounded like there was like a water going on in the background.
- [57:17]
A
Yeah.
- [57:18]
B
Splashing.
- [57:18]
A
Yeah. Well, he is in his own med spa. Remember? He's in his closet spa.
- [57:22]
B
That's right.
- [57:23]
A
And when I say closet spa, I mean a spa. That Is literally the size of a closet. Someone's probably getting a face cleaning or something. We give the best face cleanings. Or a fris hook pole. Yeah.
- [57:36]
F
All the telltale signs. If you're good with that, then that's fine. But if you're not, you need to open up your eyes. You need to start paying attention to what they're doing, all right? Especially if they know you're very complacent, very lethargic, very non caring. They're gonna walk all over your ass.
- [57:58]
A
You're gonna walk all over your ass. If you're sitting on the couch eating doritos and playing fortnite trading Pokemon. You better watch out. If you're at Starbucks looking for your bear Rista, and she's spending late nights at the office, it's bound to be trouble. I'm telling you right now, you're like.
- [58:19]
F
Shooting fish in a barrel.
- [58:20]
A
Okay? You're.
- [58:21]
F
You're easy.
- [58:22]
A
All right?
- [58:23]
F
Start calling them out.
- [58:25]
A
Start.
- [58:25]
F
Start asking what they're doing. If you're suspecting things. Okay, guys, just.
- [58:30]
B
Just open a tracker on them.
- [58:32]
A
Yeah. Hire a private investigator immediately.
- [58:36]
B
Yeah.
- [58:37]
F
All right, guys, we're at the climax, and that is tip number five.
- [58:42]
A
Said no girl to Frankie ever. We're at the climax. You couldn't have picked any of them. We're at the halfway point. Here is number six.
- [58:55]
F
This is gonna be the last tip in this video. But it's the most obvious tip. All right, let's talk about your wife's cell phone.
- [59:03]
A
Here we go. The old cell phone advice.
- [59:05]
F
Anything different in the way that she's being guarded towards that phone where before her phone was laying out on the counter. When you go out to a restaurant or a bar, that phone is laying on the bar top or the tabletop, not hiding anything. Didn't care. All of a sudden, that phone is hidden. It's in her purse, and it's on silent. There's no ringing.
- [59:33]
A
There's no ringing going on. Oh, this is so funny.
- [59:42]
F
Why is that all of a sudden?
- [59:44]
A
She turned it on silent mode.
- [59:47]
F
Makes sense.
- [59:48]
A
It's apple intelligence. It's not. Neither apple nor intelligent.
- [59:53]
F
I don't even have to tell you another word because you already get it, but we're still gonna talk about it. She's doing that because she's expecting a text from her significant other. If she's got a cold. If she's got a cold.
- [60:06]
A
A cold. Is it. She's got a cold. Is there a flu season? Yes.
- [60:11]
F
And that phone a lockout code to her. She Never had it before. Come on, guys.
- [60:17]
A
Come on, guys. She's got a lockout code. She's begging the pool guy. I don't know how many times I gotta say it to you. Oh, he's so paranoid.
- [60:30]
B
Well, obviously we've discussed this happened to him.
- [60:33]
A
Oh, this is, this is the story of Frankie. See, the thing about Frankie is he wears his heart on his sleeve. So anytime that Frankie tells us something about a relationship, it's because he himself has been through it. He speaks with personal knowledge. This happened to him. This is too many details to know. If you have never been cheated on in this manner. He's looking at things backwards. He's saying, I should have seen these signs.
- [60:58]
B
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- [60:59]
A
But you know, again, when it comes to cheating, I don't think everything is good for the goose. Is good for the gander. Yeah, if your wife or your husband is hiding their phone from you all of the sudden, then maybe that's an indication that something's on. Or maybe they're just planning a surprise party for you.
- [61:16]
B
True.
- [61:16]
A
Yeah, you never know code.
- [61:18]
F
Well, in case I lose it, I want to make sure no one getting my information.
- [61:22]
A
No problem.
- [61:23]
F
Give me the lockout code. I. I want the lockout code. She won't give it to you. Or she'll give it to you and she'll change.
- [61:30]
B
Well, that's very suspicious.
- [61:33]
A
Okay, if you say, I need to use your phone and she says, over my dead body. Well then, yeah, let me do that. Yeah, you might, might want to investigate.
- [61:43]
F
A little further super heavily.
- [61:45]
A
But that's not what you're saying. You're saying if like some, you know, she starts putting her phone in her purse, maybe she just wants to put her phone in her purse, be guarded.
- [61:53]
F
With that phone, and she's never on it when she's anywhere around. You think about that.
- [61:59]
E
It's.
- [61:59]
F
It's the number one giveaway is a woman with that cell phone. So, guys, that. That's it, man. That. That's all I.
- [62:07]
A
That's it. She's cheating on you. Fuck it, Forget it. She's all over for you.
- [62:11]
F
Actually, I do got more, but that's for another.
- [62:15]
A
I do got five. I love the proper English that your.
- [62:18]
F
Wife might be cheating on you again. You know, guys, when we get into our age, we a little bit complacent.
- [62:23]
E
We.
- [62:24]
F
We take our wives for granted. We're not always looking at things. I. I think it's just time to open your eyes.
- [62:32]
A
