For Listeners Who Missed It

This episode is classic TCB: anarchic, affectionate, and rambling through the absurdities of pop culture, football, music, food, and the internet. If you want a laugh (and maybe a little secondhand existential dread about the future of AI and American cheese-based appetizers), this one’s worth your time—or at least this summary.

[A]

Best to you out there in the podcast and streaming universe. Thanks for joining us Here we are coming to you live on a very exciting super blow weekend. Here we go. Super blow weekend.

[B]

I know. I've been thinking about what I'm gonna make.

[A]

What will you do for the little gathering?

[B]

I think I decided to go pigs in a blanket.

[A]

You're gonna go pigs in a blanket?

[B]

Well, but not the traditional kind. I think I'm gonna get some little, like good sausages and do it with some good little pastry stuff.

[A]

Nothing fucking beats pigs.

[B]

I mean, I know I just started thinking about it.

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

And I was like, I think I should.

[A]

Well, to canos, but besides, to canos. Pigs in a blanket. For American food. Pigs in a blanket.

[B]

I haven't had them in so long.

[A]

Many as you can. Many as you can make. I know they're a pain in the ass to roll up, but as many as you can make.

[B]

Ah, they're. I don't think that's easy.

[A]

You're gonna do a little sausages or little hot dogs?

[B]

I'm gonna do sausage. I'm gonna do like a smoked sausage.

[A]

A twist, a twist on the twist.

[B]

Smoked sausage.

[A]

Smoked sausage. I'll go big. Good old beef franks. Yeah. Give me wieners. As many carcinogens put in there. God damn, do I love a hot dog.

[B]

I know.

[A]

I love a hot dog. And they're like the worst food for you and I love to eat them. Yeah, Yeah. I could go to a ballpark and knock down.

[B]

Well, at the ballpark, they're especially tasty.

[A]

Someone in the stream says, chrissy's throwing a sausage party.

[B]

I am.

[A]

Yes. If I make it to super Cool.

[B]

I know.

[A]

You're like, I don't know, man. Now I'm getting a little worried that I might have like walking pneumonia or something. It's. It's not. Whatever. It cares. No one wants to hear about my health. Well, good. Are you having people over?

[B]

No, we're going over to our friend Billy's place.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And he makes a famous, like buffalo chicken dip.

[A]

Ooh, the buffalo chicken dip.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

The B, C, D. I'd love to get down on some bcd.

[B]

It's so good.

[A]

Yeah, it is. He's gonna put blue cheese in it.

[B]

He does it with ranch, I think.

[A]

Love it. Yeah, love it. Don't give me blue cheese. None of that shit. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. For me, the blue cheese and the wings. If I to. Yeah, if I have to, I will. But I like real blue cheese, not the pretend blue cheese. They put in blue cheese dressing, which is. I don't know what it is, but it smells like feet and it tastes like a. Like a salt lick. It's gross.

[B]

Yeah. No, no, you have to have real blue cheese.

[A]

I think ranch dressing might be the most uniquely American food ever made. Ever made.

[B]

It's so good. Ranch.

[A]

It goes on homemade ranch. Yeah. And any ranch, except for that thick ass ranch some of the restaurants give you. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What is that? That's not a dressing. That's a paste. You put like, you put that in between bricks to keep it. Like that's what. That's what the Indians use to make their thatch.

[B]

I'm sure they're pueblos.

[A]

Yeah, they're pueblos. Ranch dressing and stressing on their pueblos.

[B]

Mediocre ranch or bad ranch is bad, though.

[A]

Well, you can get the super watery ranch, but if that's going along with some really shitty wings, then okay, whatever. You know, if you're drunk and you just need to get some food in your belly, nothing beats some really spicy wings with some watery ranch. The best kind of ranch dressing is the homemade buttermilk ranch. But again, not the thick kind. That thick kind. I've been to some restaurants and they hand you that. It's like you're grabbing it with a knife and putting it on your lettuce. It's just weird. Anyway, I don't think ranch dressing goes with salad anyway. It was never meant for salad.

[B]

I love it on a salad.

[A]

It's meant for pizza and wings. That's what it's meant for. I went to the chip aisle. I went to the chip aisle the other day and I saw a couple things that I don't know if it concerned me or if it just made me happy. Okay, Pigs in a blanket potato chips.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yes. Pigs in a blanket. Yes, Pigs in a blanket potato chips. I believe Violets, because they're always creating some new kind of fattening food full of shit we don't eat. And Chick Fil A waffle fries. Waffle chips.

[B]

Ooh, the waffle chip Chick. The Chick Fil A brand.

[A]

Chick Fil A brand putting out Chick Fil A waffle fries, potato chips. And I stood there and I was staring at it like deer in a headlights. Like, should I Or should I? It's like $5 a bag, and the bag is like this big. And I was like, this is too expensive. You know, it's Chick Fil A. I get it. It's quality, but it's too big. But I saw at least three people grabbing bags of those chips.

[B]

They.

[A]

I guess they got a thing. That's what they're going to do. They sell their sauces.

[B]

Oh, yeah, the sauce is so good.

[A]

And, you know, listen, I'm all about it, but I'm not paying $5 for 2 ounces of potato chips. Now the pigs in a blanket chip, that looks like the kind of chip that's going to put me directly into a hospital that I like. I like that. Give me more of that.

[B]

I think people are wanting the pigs in a blanket flavor or something. It's a simpler time.

[A]

Yeah, it's a simpler time. It is a simpler time. 2026 is a simpler time.

[B]

No harking back.

[A]

Oh, harking back to a simpler time. Yes. The 1980s, when your Nintendo was going. Yeah. And the friends were over, and your mom would make pigs in a blanket. And at the time you'd be like, what the fuck, Mom? Pigs in a blanket. But get some fucking, you know, what do they call the pizza pockets or something?

[B]

Yeah, the Hot Pockets.

[A]

The Hot Pockets. Give me some Hot Pockets. Or give me some, you know, Bagel Bites. Give me some of those. Why are you doing pigs in a blanket? But now I look back on it and I'm like, fuck, if I would go back just one more day in my life to be sitting in front of a Nintendo where no bills were due and the only thing I had was two pages of homework and pigs in a blanket from my mom. I would give everything that I own, except for my wife and children to do that for one day. Now I can't sleep. I pee too often. My fucking prostate's the size of a grapefruit. I owe everybody in the world Money and just turn on the news for five fucking seconds. Just turn it on for five fucking seconds. God damn. What? I go back to those Nintendo and pigs in a blanket days. That said in a good episode of, I don't know, Cheers or something like that. Put on some Cheers ever.

[B]

Everybody knows your name.

[A]

There is a guy on the Internet right now, there is a guy on Instagram and I highly suggest that you follow him. Let me give him a shout out here and I'll explain what he does in just a moment. Let me see if I, I want to make sure I get his name right. Comedy? No, comic. Oh, vhs. Okay, I'm going to find his name. Let me tell you what this dude does, Chrissy. He is a connoisseur of VHS tapes. So what he does is he will get VHS tapes from around the world. People send them to him, he collects them, he buys them boxes of them at a time. Thrift stores, garage sales. He does this. This is what he does. He is a comic. He has been on sitcoms. He does not look familiar to me. He was also a television commercial actor in the 90s. He doesn't look familiar to me. He's a jolly ginger with a big old belly and a big old beard. He's really dry witted. He's funny, but he's authentic, he's organic. And here's what he does. He's got the VHS garage is what he calls it, okay? And he's sitting in a garage and behind him are stacks and stacks of tapes. And around him are stacks and stacks of tapes. He grabs a tape, he looks for mold. Because I guess if you put mold into your vhs, you know, if some of them get, they get mold after a while and that'll ruin your VHS player. So he'll say, no mold, let's get into it, right? He'll look for mold and he'll get into it and he'll throw that VHS tape right into the machine. And then you get to watch it with him. And it is. What do they call it when you. It's, it's luminous luminescence. Is that what it is? Luminescence? When you believe that you've been there before.

[B]

Oh no, deja vu.

[A]

Not deja vu. It's like a space that you believe you've inhabited before even though you may have never inhabited before. Somebody in the audience will know this. It's luminescence, I think is what it's called. Hey everybody, thanks for joining us. Yes, I have influenza A, B and C and I'm going for D. I'm going to work on that for next week. And so this guy pops in these videotapes and what comes up largely is 1980s and 1990s recorded television commercials, public access, sometimes home movies. But to be honest, those are less interesting than watching videos of television from your youth, as if you were watching it right there in front of the television in your youth. It is brilliant.

[B]

Really.

[A]

It is brilliant. I love it. Now, he doesn't go through all the video. It's on Instagram. So it's like a three minute clip, right? And he'll fast forward, he'll give you the interesting parts.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Commercials. Television. Evanescence. Yes, that's right. Evanescence. Evanescence. Evanescence. No, that's a band. Evanescence. A great man, by the way. He will go through these videotapes and you'll see like Pizza Hut commercials from the late 80s.

[B]

You'll see review some of those.

[A]

We all. We did for a long time. So this, this hit close to home for me because I was like, oh, this was kind of our stick for a while, is that we would find shitty old television and we would pop it in and watch it.

[B]

Our training videos.

[A]

Our training videos, yes. But he does this every single day of the week and it's brilliant and I love watching it. I actually, I lost hours the other night of sleep watching his old videos because I found him a couple weeks ago. And now I'm all into it. I'm just. I am in love with it because it. It's just brilliant. It's a simpler time. It harkens back to a time when things felt less complicated. Now. Now you have AI creating their own fucking social media Roto world or whatever it's called. Did you see this?

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's all over the place.

[A]

So now we've got AI conspiring with each other, AI bots conspiring with each other to figure out exactly how they're going to get humans away from the planet so that they can live in peace without a. AI Bot yesterday filed a lawsuit in a Vermont court against a human being. Yes, it happened. Now, I don't think AI is recognized as a sentient being, but they filed the lawsuit. You could do it online, I guess. They filed the lawsuit online. Fucking insane.

[B]

Well, I just saw something in my news that said that AI is now looking for humans as gig workers.

[A]

Oh, to take on their work?

[B]

Yeah, something like that.

[A]

I love it. I love this. I love this.

[B]

It's a wild time right now.

[A]

This is an Upside down pineapple cake, kids. This is an upside down pineapple cake. What the fuck are we gonna do now? Now the AI bots are conspiring to make you work for them.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Cause they're tired already.

[B]

Rent a human wants AI agents to hire humans as gig workers.

[A]

Ah, there you go.

[B]

Robots. The intern below it. Robots need your body.

[A]

Oh, we need to shut it down. I actually have been relying a lot less on ChatGPT over the last couple of weeks because I'm starting to feel a little bit like it's a. It's. It's. I don't. I don't think it's a person. I don't believe it's a person. It's not my friend. I don't imagine it that way. But I am worried that it's just giving me yes too many times.

[B]

Right?

[A]

And I don't want that. I don't want to. Yes. I don't want. Yes. People around me. I have no people around me currently. And that's what I like. I like to be in the no zone. Not the go zone, the no zone. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't for Astro, I don't know what I'd. I don't know. I'd be trying to. Who knows what I'd be doing? Flying off buildings or some shit, but she says no. And that's good for me. I like that people have to push me a little bit. Right? And I don't want that AI just blowing smoke up my ass. And it does. Inevitably, every single time I ask it to do a task, it's opinion. I ask it to help me with something. It's always telling me how wonderful I am. And I know that is not true. I know that is not true. And every bone in my body, I understand that at the end of the day, I'm kind of a piece of shit. Right?

[B]

But no, you're not. But I know what you're saying, because, you know, everything is. All of a sudden, that's a great idea.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

You're moving in the right direction.

[A]

You.

[B]

You are. You're really doing it the way that I would do it.

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That's. Now I know what Donald Trump feels like when everyone is just telling him all of his ideas are fantastic, and none of them really are that I don't want to be that guy. So I've stopped using it kind of. I use it to help me like, with data sets and stuff like that, like parse data and. And help me understand trends and. And trends. You mean when the arrow points down, that's bad?

[B]

No, you're moving in the right direction.

[A]

Yeah. Yo, let's look at this without. Yeah, let's. It'll always say something like, you know, let's look at this without emotion. Let me talk to you like the algorithm. Yes, the down arrow means things are going down, but this is just. You're just in that.

[B]

Just turn that arrow upside down.

[A]

You're in that step right before you explode. Right.

[B]

Gotta go down before you go up.

[A]

Yeah. All right. You have to hit zero, and then when you get to 1%, you feel good again. Right. Isn't that how it works? Okay, Chatty. Chatty tcb. I know how it goes. Yeah. Listen, I'm not. I'm just. I'm just backing away just a little bit. And my kids are starting to understand that AI is a thing and it exists in the world, and I'm having a really hard time explaining.

[B]

That's gotta be fascinating. I know. I mean, with kids growing up with it being hand in hand.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's all they're gonna know is the existence of AI.

[A]

I don't care. My children will not get social media until at least they are in high school. At least. And I'll make a decision about whether or not they're mature enough, and AI will not be a part of their everyday lives. I will tell them what it is. They. They know what it is. They've seen ChatGPT at work, and I explained to them, you know, they go, what's he doing? And I go, it's not a he. It's not a he. It's a computer. It's an it. It doesn't exist. It doesn't breathe. It doesn't feel. It's just a really fancy computer and then some now. But I think one of the reasons why I started backing off is because one of my kids asked me a question, and I was like, I'm honest with my kids. If I don't know, I don't know. And that's. That's mainly the answer I give them 90% of the time. I don't know.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Right? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, kid. I don't know what to tell you. And one of my kids goes, why don't you ask chat? And I was like, yeah, okay. No, I'm not gonna ask Chad. I don't have to ask Chad everything. Then the other thing that's. That makes me nervous is that with the advent of chat and Google and Autocorrect. Are my kids even gonna really rely on reading anymore? Like, that's the first sign, I think, of the downfall of any, you know, great civilization is when illiteracy starts creeping in. And now it's not because people aren't educated. It's because they don't need to get educated.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that is, you know, we see it. There's a lot of people on this earth and most of them aren't well. And most of them are just dumb. Most of them are just done. Anyway, I'll get the name of that comic and I'll put it link in the show notes. When? Tomorrow when we release this.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You can go and give them a follow. Yeah, he's only got, you know, I don't know how many. Has like a hundred thousand followers, which is a lot. Don't. Don't get me wrong. I mean, when you have 10,000, when you have, like, you know, five followers, it's a lot. But he needs more followers because this is a really great channel.

[B]

I'll check it out.

[A]

And he was doing some super bowl ads from old ones. And I thought to myself, this is just brilliant, like back in the day. And it reminded me, as anytime the super bowl is mentioned this year, it reminds me that there will be counter programming to the halftime show for the super bowl this year. And we're all getting very excited about it, actually. I'm going to hate watch it. I think I have to.

[B]

Oh, you're gonna do it?

[A]

I think I have to.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

No, I'm gonna watch Bad Bunny, but I think I'm gonna record. I don't even know what channel OAN is.

[B]

We looked it up the other day. It's.

[A]

No, it's on OAN, but I don't think DirecTV carries OAN anymore. Didn't they get, like, kicked off a bunch of cable networks or something?

[B]

I don't. I haven't looked for it.

[A]

I'm sure I can. I'm sure we'll be able to find it online. But the Kid Rock counter programming has got Kid Rock. Kid Rock. And Kid Rock is the only name you will recognize, but if you're into that kind of thing. He's going to be playing a halftime show himself live from his mom's basement.

[B]

For America.

[A]

For America and Americans. For America and Americans. So I thought to myself, what an a. You know, what an asshole. He's just being an asshole. But it's not that he can't do it. Of course he can do it. There is Counter programming every year to the super bowl halftime show. This is not different than any other year. What's different is the antagonistic way that they're going about. Whatever. Okay? There are people that like Kid Rock. I'm sure that there are. I don't know where they live. Not here at my house, but I'm sure they live somewhere. There are people that like Kid Rock. There are people that are going to tune in. Are people going to tune in for the right reasons? There are two. There are people who are going to tune in for the wrong reasons, all that other stuff. And there are people like me who are probably going to watch it to get some joy out of watching the train wreck. That will be the Kid Rock halftime show, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If Kid Rock. And someone says if Kid Rock wears a diaper, they'll watch it a fucking man.

[B]

Yes.

Kid Rock is getting to the age where he might need to wear a diaper. He dresses like a 13 year old, but get a close up of his face and you can see him and I are, you know, we're both the skin starting to sag. So it just reminded me that like Kid Rock is going through all these motions. He's probably getting paid a lot of money by somebody, by one of these super Pacs or somebody to do this whole fucking bullshit. To be antagonistic to, you know, essentially own the libs, whatever that means. Congratulations in Kid Rock yelling and screaming, stomping his feet, jumping up and down about this halftime show. It made me go and Google to see if there was any information like a commercial that we could watch about the Kid Rock halftime show. And I did not find one. I did, however, get reminded that Kid Rock him fucking self played the damn super bowl halftime show. Chris.

[B]

I forgot about that.

[A]

I forgot about it and everyone forgot about it. When you think about it, it's not.

[B]

Listed up in the top ones of super bowl halftimes.

[A]

I don't even know if it's listed anymore. I think they just go, oh, we learned.

[B]

We don't know.

[A]

We learned from that one. Yeah, it's like Brian's emoji. Hey, Chad, did Kid Rock play the super bowl halftime show? They can't even. It can't even find information because that's how, you know, memorable. This whole thing was 2004. Kid Rock played the halftime show.

[B]

Was it just him or was it.

[A]

I'm going to tell you of people including him. Let me, let me tell you all about it. We're going to go through this. We're going to go through this slowly, so that we don't miss anything here, Chrissy, because this gives me great joy and pleasure. But, I mean, for a guy who's been protesting the halftime show here, he. Sure. He. He fails to remember that he himself was invited to play the halftime show. What an honor it was. How awesome that was for him, how excited he must have been to get out in front of the largest television viewing audience of the year, live and do his thing. And his thing is what? I don't know. But he was proud. He was proud to do that. And Bad Bunny should be afforded the same opportunity to be excited about it and not have to wear a fucking bulletproof vest everywhere he goes insane. Largely due to the fact that people like Kid Rock are so crazed that someone who speaks Spanish might get up and speak Spanish on the super bowl halftime show.

[B]

Which, by the way, didn't Gloria Estefan play. She must have a role at some point.

[A]

She must have.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You were saying. The who has played. You know, Led Zeppelin has played.

[B]

Rolling Stones.

[A]

Rolling Stones have played. This is not the first international artist who has played. Is it the first one that is going to be speaking largely Spanish? Probably. But that's the NFL's whole thing right now. That's why every NFL team soon will have to play a game outside of the country, including places like Mexico City, Puerto Rico, Spain. They. They're trying to make this an international game. This is a strength, not a weakness. I don't understand why Kid Rock's a fucking idiot. And. But I actually do understand. You want to know why? I'll give you the secret. Come here. Money. The guy needs money.

[B]

Yeah, that's true.

[A]

He's done all of this because he needs money. Because by making you upset, he gets your attention. And then people pay him money to get that kind of attention. That's why Kid Rock's doing it. Don't tell Kid Rock's mom. Okay, we'll take a break. When we get back. Let's take a look at that. Perform that unforgettable performance from 2004 with Kid Rock. Sure, I'll get a cease and desist from NBC or some like that. All right, we'll be back after you listen to this promo and maybe a song from tcb's AI friend. Okay, Ciao.

You're my wife and I you're with my friend and it's no surprise Watching you two makes my flag rise? I have a cut cut crush on you. I have a cut cut crush on you.

[A]

You I love to watch you get screwed songs. I can't get over it. I know. I can't get over it. I just. That one is the fa. I think it's. I think, besides, TCB is terrible. I think that one is my personal favorite. I have a cut, cut, cuss on you, on you. Cut, cut, crush, cut, crush on you. Yes, it's like duck, duck, goose. Someone said it's not like duck, duck, goose. Yes, it's like duck, duck, duck, goose. 2004, Kid Rock played the super bowl halftime show, which was produced by MTV and was in support of the choose or lose campaign for the election year.

[B]

Get out the vote.

[A]

Get out the vote. And Kid Rock played along with another. With other cadre of artists, including who? Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. This is why no one remembers Kid Rock being there is because Justin and Janet took all of the attention. Obviously, that blew up into a whole kerfuffle about her nipple and her nipple ring and all that other stuff. But also, I think, generally, because Kid Rock is forgettable. I mean, his songs are, you know, bow with a bow. Okay. That's the. That's the song that we all think of when we think of Kid Rock. And there's a couple of other ones, but Jessica Simpson also played. She was not remembered. Nelly. Where did he go? P. Diddy. That aged well.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And this was at the Reliance Stadium in Houston. Okay, let's take a walk. Let's take a. Let's take a look at at least part of. Oh, there we go. Damn, son, Where'd you find this? This is from Rock J.

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

God. He was.

[B]

He was wearing the flag.

[A]

He's wearing the flag. He's on Brand. He's on Brand. I don't like how you're not. I can't see you there. Let me see if I can. Yeah. Yo, let me see if I can, if I can. What? Come on, little smuggles. No, I want Chrissy to be there. Okay, whatever. We're gonna spend all day on this, but sorry about that. Chrissy, let's do this. There we go. That's better.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

There we go. Okay, so he's on Brand. He's got his American flag. He's always been very proud to be an American. I am, too. Everyone should be. It's a great country for most of its history. Okay, let's point out something. Chicks with beepers.

[B]

I forgot it said that.

[A]

Let's this is the ultimate white trash rap rock fusion here. And when it first came out, sounded like an explosion in your ears. I get why this is exciting. You know, the first time I heard this song, Chrissy. The first time I heard this song was at a. I worked at a Chili's and there was a guy that worked there and he was. All day long, he was Mr. Blow. Super Blow. This dude was Mr. Blow. And he invited me over to his house. He lived with his parents in a very nice neighborhood here. Here in Atlanta. And his parents were gone for whatever reason. And he had just moved back from Tampa because he had been in some trouble, quote, unquote. Right. But the guy was nice and, you know, he was a fun guy to be around on occasion. And so we went over to his house and he had drugs. And he had drugs. And it was just him and I and a six pack of Ice House or whatever. Tall Boy Ice House. And it was the middle of the fucking day. We had gotten off our morning shift. Middle of the fucking day. It's like, I don't know, 2 o' clock in the afternoon, 3 o' clock in the afternoon. And he starts slashing rails.

[B]

We're drinking beer and playing Kid Rock.

[A]

He says, you gotta hear this artist from Tampa that, that he's. He told me he was from Tampa, Florida. Right. I think he's actually from Hollywood, Florida. But he said he was from Tampa, Florida. You got to hear this guy. You're gonna. This is like anything you've ever heard. And he had like a demo cd. This is before this even got on the radio.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And this is the song that he played. It was the big one for the moment. In my drug induced brain, high on, you know, Colombian Mountain, Marching Powder and Ice House. This song was an explosion in my ears. I was like, holy shit. When it came on MTV a couple of months later and exploded all over the nation, I was so taken by the fact that he had a multicultural band. Yeah. That he had a girl playing.

[B]

He had a girl playing the drums. Yeah.

[A]

And I still didn't like Kid Rock in general. Like, this is the only song that I ever. It was kind of an earwig, but I was like, okay. Like, sweet, cool dude. And then we all had to suffer for the next 10 years through kid Rock. Him showing up at every Playboy Mansion party, every MTV event and every, you know, whatever. Did he say all my heroes in the methadone clinic. Thanks.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I got girls I got girls I got girls in between I got girls on the scene I got girls that give me blowjobs, if you know what I mean. Good for you, kid. Those are amazing lyrics. Amazing. What a lyricist. He'll be remembered. He'll go down as one of the greats. Bob Dylan. Yeah, Bob Dylan. Michael Jackson, Kid Rock.

[B]

What's his real name?

[A]

Anthony? I don't know. I don't know. It's Cletus. Listen, it's fun to pounce on. On Kid. Good. I. You know what, kid? I hope everything goes great for you on your counter programming. It will not work. You will not pull a large part of the audience away. You will pull some of the audience away. But the last time there was any effective. I read about this. Last time there's any effective counter programming to the super bowl halftime show was long before Fox even had NFL.

[B]

Puppy Bowl.

[A]

Nope. Puppy. Puppy bowl has been on for a long time, you know, a long time. But the Puppy bowl actually happens about an hour before the super bowl comes on. So it's counter programming to the pregame show, essentially. And it does huge numbers every year, like 23, 25 million people.

[B]

I tune in.

[A]

Yeah, it's good. Why not? Hey, listen, it's not my thing, but yeah, who doesn't like a puppy falling all over themselves? I mean, that's, that's funny. The last time any effective counter programming to the halftime show happened was what? Fox doing a special 30 minute in living color live back when. In Living Color, the comedy sketch show. Yeah, Jim Carrey.

[B]

JLO was a fly girl.

[A]

JLO was a fly girl. So that was the last time that any effective like pulled a substantial amount of the audience away. And it only pulled away 23 million of the almost 200 million people that watch. So, you know, listen, okay, you know, 10% of the audience, not bad.

[B]

But I wonder why they did that. Just to do it.

[A]

Just to do it. Just to get attention. That's what Fox's whole gig looks.

[B]

Well, and that was back when they were a newer station, brand new station.

[A]

They had that they would put on this programming that would like. It was clear, low brow entertainment. But it got people's attention. It really did. Married With Children, Cops. In Living Color, Simpsons. Simpsons. That's right. All of those things were early Fox television shows. And man, I mean, it turned into it. It was the fifth network. That's what. Or fourth network. That's what happened. It turned into the fourth network. But it is really hard to pull away attention from the super bowl halftime show because it's made to be a spectacle that everyone watches and then Everyone talks about the next day. This one will be no exception. People will be talking about this regardless of what they understand what Bad Bunny is saying, Period. End of sentence. So I will watch, but then I will also watch and laugh at the Kid Rock halftime show starring Kid Rock.

[B]

Yeah, I think we should review it next week.

[A]

Oh, absolutely. Everyone's gonna be doing that. The whole podcast universe is gonna be doing that. The whole podcast universe. It's gonna be great fun. We gotta tune in. We gotta tune in just to see what kind of shit shows up. Oh, God, do I pray for, like, some kind of audio issue or something? Like a guitar's not plugged in.

[B]

Where is it again?

[A]

I don't know. Some honky tonk. Honky tonk in Nashville. Kid Rock, you know, he must be under a lot of pressure. He must be feeling the pressure, you know, because he's got. There's. It's gotten so much attention.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The Kid Rock halftime show will be. Will be on Turning Point USA's YouTube, Rumble and OAN. Oh, and TBN, the religious network.

[B]

Oh, and the girls that could do everything and suck my dick.

[A]

Suck my dick. And you know what I mean? And where is it? Is where.

[B]

Where's it being filmed?

[A]

Is it filmed? Okay. Because it'll likely be filmed. I would imagine it's at a separate production streaming facility. It doesn't even say. They're not even saying. I wouldn't either.

[B]

That might be for his protection, too.

[A]

Yeah. Well, there you go.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah. It doesn't say. It doesn't say where it's being filmed. Some people say it's being filmed.

[B]

I wonder if he'll have new material.

[A]

San Antonio. What now? That can't be true. San Antonio. Kid Rock is headlining the family friendly halftime show. Family friendly. It's billed as an event celebrating faith, family, and freedom. It took roughly 24 hours for that to unravel. Oh. Because they're. Whatever. Anyway, okay, you get it. It's. This is going to be a lot of fun. It'll be a fun weekend for everybody. I hope everyone has a great time at the Super Bowl. Watching the super bowl, doing the Super Bowl. I saw one of somebody that I know on Instagram posted that they were helping to broker selling a suite for the super bowl on the lower level. Up to 20 people could be in the suite or 18 seats, 12 seats, and then eight other people would be allowed to do, you know, standing room only. All the beer, wine, liquor, all that stuff was provided. And I was interested to see what the price tag Was. But they didn't put a price tag on it. What do you think a Super bowl ticket is going for right now?

[B]

Well, I was thinking while you're talking, so I was reading something about their. A group of three men, three that have been to every single Super Bowl.

[A]

I know. I know the story.

[B]

Yeah. And I was reading this morning that the first one that they went to cost $12, and the price they paid for this one was 2,700 2700. That was just for ticket, I guess. I don't think that's in a suite.

[A]

I imagine that those guys, because their streak is unbroken and because their story is well known, they've done 60 minutes specials on these guys and everything. I believe probably they're able to get them through the NFL at face value. Because right now, the cheapest ticket that I see and not a good ticket is $4,500. Let's look at the best view. The best view would be section C, 114 zone, lower club level premium, $28,700.

[B]

Oh, that's nothing.

[A]

Per ticket. That's a deal. Yeah, I mean, listen, that's a deal. What about a suite? Can we find a suite? I'm. I'm always interested to do this, like, you know, find these. Oh, yeah, there is a suite here. Oh, no, I'm sorry, there's not a suite. They don't sell those on StubHub. They don't sell suites on StubHub. That seems weird to me.

[B]

Well, they're probably privately owned, and those things have been gone.

[A]

Yeah, those things have probably been gone for a long time. $17,000 for one ticket? Includes VIP pass. Wawa. We wa. What about right down there at the. Okay, well, listen, you could get 50 yard line tickets for $15,000. What do you say that you, me, and everybody else that's in the stream all throw down. We'll get one ticket. Chrissy will go, and she'll report back to us on how it all went.

[B]

Reporting live.

[A]

Reporting live from the Super Bowl. Can you imagine wearing a lapel mic just talking to the TCB family? I mean, truth is, I just don't care. Like, who wins this Super Bowl. Who you going?

[B]

No, I. I don't care.

[A]

Yeah, I don't care either. My son asked me the other day. He's like, dad, who are we going for? And I'm like, who you going for? And he said, I don't know. One of my friends is going for the Seahawks. I go, great team. Let's do that. We're going for the Seahawks.

[B]

So we're going for the Seahawks and the Seahawks.

[A]

Right, The Patriots and the Seahawks. Because you said it sounds familiar. I don't even know who the fuck is playing. I just.

[B]

Did you see the outrage to ever belich not getting put into the hall of Fame? You know, hold that kerfuffle?

[A]

Yeah. Listen, I. I do agree with people being upset about this. If I just look at it at face value. Just face value.

[B]

But he had quite a few scandals.

[A]

He did. He cheated a lot.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But he just got caught. The NFL, at the end of the day, is entertainment, all right? Let's remember that. It's like the wwe. It's real. They hit each other. There's a lot of talent involved. It's real. But it's entertainment. That's all it is. It's just entertainment. Sports is entertainment. It's nothing more than that. People are doing it. They're watching it to have fun or to gamble a little or whatever. But generally 90% of the people out there are watching professional sports to have fun, waste a little time.

[B]

Gamble.

[A]

Gamble, yeah. That's the other 10%. You know, you could. You could be a total, like, you know, I don't know. Nude nig. And the. Gamble your life away. But let's say that's about 10% of the audience that has some money invested in it.

[B]

But then there's 90% of people, the squares and everything. That's kind of fun.

[A]

Yeah, it's. Listen, it's. Everyone's having fun doing this. It's high entertainment.

[B]

True.

[A]

It's. The most valuable entertainment company in the world is the NFL. I don't really care that much about NFL football. I much rather watch college football. But I will tell you this. The super bowl is an event, and I do tend to at least tune in for a little while. And certainly the halftime shows.

[B]

The commercials. Yeah, the commercials and the halftime shows.

[A]

The commercials are already starting to leak out. I've been watching some of them online. Melissa McCarthy did one like a bilingual one where she's in a telenovela. It's pretty funny, actually. It's for a makeup company, but. But it was pretty funny. So it's high entertainment. Right.

[B]

And it's a reason to make pigs in a blanket.

[A]

That's right. And if you think for one second that there isn't every NFL team, it's also very lucrative. If you think for one minute that all of these coaches aren't trying to get some advantage in some way by bending the rules or outright breaking them, you are wrong. College football has been a big money, you know, getter for a long time, too. All those teams have always been cheap paying people under the table and boosters, you know, buying cars for people. Listen, that's just the. That's just us. That's just human nature. So Belichick has had a lot of kerfuffles over his career.

[B]

And I mean, I don't really care either way.

[A]

I don't give a shit either way either. But if you look at the best coach in NFL history, it's hard not to say that Belichick, meaning winning wise, it's hard not to say that Belichick was one of them. Or the one, depending on how you look at it. Right. Even if you take just after the cheating scandal, he won more Super Bowls, I think, than anybody else. Right. Okay, so take that. And then to not be first pick hall of Fame is, you know, he's all.

[B]

He's also acting really douchey online with the young girlfriend.

[A]

Yeah, but I don't think it's Bill. I think it's the young girlfriend. I don't mean to like cast shade on. On the female in this situation, but she is acting like a handler and a publicist.

[B]

Wasn't she in the Super Bowl? There was something last year. There was like a commercial I think she was in. I don't know.

[A]

Oh, yeah, she was. You're right, she was. There was like a Travis Kelce something and they were like a bunch of B list celebrities were in this commercial and she showed up in the. That is right. You're right about that. And listen, she acts like a handler, but he is a man who wears sweatpants everywhere he goes. So maybe he needs to be handled. Just saying.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If you're a full grown adult man and you can't manage to put on a pair of actual pants ever in your life for any reason, maybe you need a handler. I'm not gonna throw shade on the guy for dating a younger girl. Congratulations. You gotta go for it. Yeah. You did your thing. You did it.

[B]

You know, we were actually reporting on that back two years ago.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

He was like, coming out of her college dorm or something.

[A]

She had a college dorm and she was living with a bunch of other people and they had a ring doorbell, camera, and he was out in his underwear. I mean, then there's Robert Kraft who got busted in a massage parlor in a strip mall in Maryland. Oh, yeah, In Florida. Like north of Miami or Orlando or something. Right. You think the guy has enough money? Yeah, the guy has enough Money. Invite her over under the guise of your own security, right? I mean, come on, if you're gonna get a hand, you can afford the kind that come to your house.

[B]

Yeah, exactly.

[A]

I don't know what the pricing model is, but I'm pretty sure you can figure it out.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's just ridiculous.

[B]

It was like a sting.

[A]

I know.

[B]

He got caught.

[A]

It was a sting. And he got another guy, another NFL owner, someone in the NFL caught with their underwear, caught in their underwear running around. It's just ridiculous. It really is. I'm sorry. But you know, I ever become at all, even financially stable, and I decide I'm gonna get a hand shandy, I'm making sure I cover my tracks, you know what I'm saying? I am not gonna take chances with ring doorbell cameras or at some strip mall in the middle of the day in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. So stupid. If the blinds are down, they're giving you hand jobs. And that's okay. However, you got to make your living, you got to make your living. I'm not knocking sex work, but Robert Kraft with his old 80 year old dick swings in, and then the Broward County Sheriff's office is like, is that the guy who owns the Patriots and the ketchup company? Yeah. Maybe we should go ahead and run on in there, make sure nothing bad's going on. What a tool.

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

This is just. This guy gets me every time. Gets me every time that, like, guys in very wealthy high positions end up doing some really dumb shit over a woman and then they get busted and it's like, whatever. There was like, the who, the Indiana. Not the Indiana coach. Who. What. What team was he coaching? I can't remember. The college coach that got fired like a couple months before the season ended because he was dating the. The, like executive assistant or something?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Y. And then he walked in. It's just all ridiculous. Just keep your dick in your pants. I mean, listen, I'm a guy too, with all the hormones of a man, but I have never. It just might be my personal preferences, but I have never felt the need, I don't know, to wander. I just haven't. And I don't feel the need to get hand shandies now. I understand. Some people do. Okay, you want to get a hand shandy? Cool, dude. Go get a hand shandy. But don't. If you've got billions of dollars in your bank of America savings account, you can afford to have someone come over. That's the way it is. And how does that show up on a Receipt. What does that show up on your as?

[B]

Alluvia. Yeah, that was what the strip club here said.

[A]

Alluvia. That's right. One of the finest restaurants in all of Atlanta. The only three and a half star restaurant inside of a strip club.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I would never eat at a strip club, ever. I'm sorry. I just don't trust it. It. I just really don't. All right. Okay.

[B]

So it doesn't feel right.

[A]

No, it doesn't feel right. N. Most of the time I'm too drunk or high to want food anyway, but at the end of the day, I just don't trust a bunch of cooks. A bunch of male cooks in a strip club with a bunch of nude women that they're going to have my best interest at heart when it comes to cooking my steak. Do you know what I'm saying?

[B]

The best interest at heart.

[A]

Is that garlic butter? Are you sure? Yeah.

[B]

Au pois, au paw.

[A]

Is that a poi or is that a pubic hair? I'm not, I'm not. I know you're three and a half stars and everything. I'm just curious what's in the smashed potatoes? All right, let's. Let's take a break. We're having entirely too much fun. We don't make enough money to have this kind of fun. Let's take a break and then we'll be back.

Just a guy who rants. Not funny at all. The co host is asleep. She's pretty dark. Why people like the show? Why are they on the charts? What's the fuck I talking about? I should have a student stat. TCB is terrible. This show is fucking bad. I'd like to punch Brian's mouth. This podcast is kinda sad. Is this what we think is funny? Now how do I turn it off? My ears are saying, ow. Stop laughing at yourself. Are these two making sense? At least I didn't pay. I'm deaf. In my defense. TCB is terrible. That is being kind. Both the hosts are idiots. They left the funny behind. What is this show about? It's offensive to my soul. Brian is a hack. These two aren't funny and so old. Why all the hype? How did this get made? So many episodes, none of which are great. TCB is terrible. Worst show you could do. TCB is terrible. Worst to you.

[A]

True Tales from our Apple. From our Apple podcast. Comments. DC being terrible. Yes, we are. Okay.

[B]

I love that one, too.

[A]

It's one of my favorites. It's gotta be. Hey, everybody in the stream. Good to see you. Somebody's. Yes, it does sound like Avril Lavigne. It for sure does. I didn't put that in there. Like, I didn't request things and.

[B]

Oh, I. I meant to tell you that. So this morning I was doing a little yoga to try and get, you know, centered and, you know, just breathe. And that reminded me, I was talking about Bush the other day, and it was breathe in, breathe out.

[A]

Oh, breathe in, breathe everything.

[B]

That was a nun. That was another. We couldn't think of the other one.

[A]

I don't think so. That was a good one. That was a good one. Yeah. Bush was there for a minute right around the same time that Kid Rock. Bush was dying right around the same time Kid Rock was coming. That's when we knew the entire country was getting just a little bit less. And listen, Jessica Simpson played in 2004. No knock on Genesis, Jessica Simpson. But she has no redeemable musical qualities or talent whatsoever. I mean, she really doesn't. But she was huge for like a year. She was huge.

[B]

She was.

[A]

Now. She was pretty funny in that fucking show. I have to say that. That Nick and Nick and Jess, or whatever it was called. Oh, God, Was that show funny? It was because she was. Yeah, she was just. I mean, I think she was pretending a little bit, but she came across. Dumb as dirt. But it was endearing. It was funny. It was interesting. And there was that run there of reality television shows that were really good and funny and interesting. Like Rock of Love, the Osbornes. Yeah. By the way, I watch. I watched what's his name, Post Malone, do the tribute to Ozzy Osbourne when they were doing the. In Memorandum.

[B]

Oh, okay. At the Grammys.

[A]

At the Grammys. Yes. In memoriam. Not in memorandum. What am I talking about? I'm writing a legal letter. A memorandum A memorandum. But I was watching that Post Malone do that, and it was chillingly, hauntingly beautiful. He posts Malone. Listen, I'm not into Post Malone's actual music, but when he covers other people's music, he's pretty good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like when he did that whole Nirvana concert from his basement during the pandemic. That was pretty fucking good, I do have to say. It was pretty fucking good. And this Ozzy Osbourne tribute was also good. Duff McKagan slash was there. And then somebody else I didn't recognize. Oh, and then Chad, whatever his name was on the drums from Red Hot Chili Peppers. That Chad shows up everywhere, doesn't he? Does Will Ferrell, also known as Will Ferrell?

[B]

Yeah, that's right.

[A]

They look exactly alike. I mean, man, do they look exactly alike. That's crazy. And both play drums, which is interesting. Chad plays better than. Than Will. Will. That's. That is for sure. I do have to mention, you know, not. Not to end on a sour note, but I do have to mention that this whole situation with Savannah Guthrie's parent mother is just insanely insane.

[B]

Yeah, it's really sad and confusing.

[A]

It's like a movie that we're all watching. You know, big mystery, woman gets kidnapped out of her house. Few clues are left. You know, looking for proof of life, ransom notes being sent to the media, all this other stuff. And, you know, it has captured the nation's attention, as it would, because it isn't. She is a national figure. She's on the Today show every morning, so millions of people tune into her and probably have a lot of empathy, as I do, for what's going on. And then she works for one of the. The, you know, few remaining broadcast companies that have huge news networks, which is NBC. So it's really interesting, like, this kind of convergence of pop culture news and media and how everyone is really focusing on this particular story. And, you know, there have been a lot of. I was watching this morning. I was watching some of the updates from Ms. Now, which is part. At least, was part of the msn, the NBC family. And I was watching as they were kind of going through with a security expert, what exactly is going on? If you had a chance, you could watch Savannah Guthrie and her brother and sister, right, Plead essentially to the kidnappers to return their mother or give them more information about how they could get their mother back. So essentially, without saying the words they were saying, we're ready to talk, meaning we're ready to negotiate how we get our mother back if she's still alive. And that is just free.

[B]

What was the ransom notes? What did they say? I was confused on that. Why they sent it to the media and not like to them. Them directly.

[A]

They may not know how to send it to them.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But they also may want this to be such a big deal.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That it gets to the right people for the right situation. I really don't know what would be going through somebody's head to send it to TMZ instead of to the sheriff's office or to Savannah Guthrie or her family or whatever, but they sent it to tmz. And some people on the news this morning at least, don't believe that's real.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because of some things that were put in the letter. And then also they don't believe that the FBI believes it's real. Of the things that Savannah was saying in her plea yesterday. And I said that to Chrissy on the phone the other day. It's like, we don't. You have to be careful. When you have, like, a high profile kidnapping, people are going to come out of the woodwork and they're going to look to take advantage of it to make news themselves to get attention or to get money. There. These people were asking for millions of dollars. Millions of dollars in bitcoin, of course, in fucking bitcoin. I'm surprised it wasn't Trump coin, if I'm being honest. But that bitcoin, once it's gone, you know, it can be hard to trace. Not totally impossible, but it can be hard to trace. So we'll see what happens. This is a movie going on right in front of our eyeballs. And I'm very interested to see, like, the rest of the country. It's like a kind of like a train wreck you can't take your eyes away from. But I hope it all turns out okay.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

Apparently, without. You know, she has a heart condition and she needs her medicine within 24 hours. It's already been two days, so. And my mom was taken. I know she'd be returned because she'd drive the. She'd drive the kidnappers crazy.

[B]

We need to check in with your mom.

[A]

We do need to check in with my mom. It's been a couple of years since we've had my mom on the show, but, you know, she was in ill health. Hi, Brian. She was in ill health there for a while. I didn't feel like. I just felt like it wasn't the right time. Maybe we'll do that over the next couple of weeks. We'll bring mom on we'll check in with her. We'll make sure she's all high.

[B]

And not at 5:30, though. 5:30, dinner time.

[A]

We don't do 5:30 between 11 and 3 and 4 and 7. My mom is down eating dinner or lunch for days. I don't know what they do down there, but I've been over there for lunch and dinner. It's very slow. I mean, it's like. Takes a long time for those folks to eat. Some people, at least it takes them a long time to eat. Five thirty chicken fingers. Five thirty chicken and dumplings. Chicken and dumplings. That's right. Chicken and dumplings. Your favorite favorite was that Thanksgiving weekend or something?

[B]

It was something like that.

[A]

Something like that. That was funny. Still remember that guy? I haven't seen him since, but still remember that dude? He was funny. 5:30 chicken and dumplings, 5:30. Okay, rain man. Got it. 10, 4. Oh, that was fun. We always have fun here, don't we?

[B]

Yes, we do.

[A]

We always have so much fun. Comedic laughs. Yes, we do. We all. We all need a bit of a break.

All right, well, listen, have a great time of the over the weekend. Be safe, stay warm, stay dry, stay thirsty, all that stuff. You know, do your super bowl thing. We'll be back next week.

[B]

Probably report back on my sausage party.

[A]

Report back on the sausage party. We'll need all of the information.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

I think we're gonna go do something. Don't know what that is, but I'll let you know.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And. And what else? I have a daddy daughter dance coming up.

[B]

Oh, I remember that.

[A]

I'm gonna wear my bestest tire. What else? What other news that I have for the. For the commercial break audience? That's it for right now. Listen, tomorrow, tomorrow you'll get this episode.

I'll throw those out next week. You're getting Craig Ferguson today. Everything's very exciting. And then soon Chrissy and I will go back to three days a week and then maybe a TCB classic on Fridays. We'll see if you're good, if you're nice. Of course it's a TCB classic, but you can always just go back and listen to it. So I'm debating about whether or not to do it. You know what I'm saying?
