Transcript of Big Corporate Baby Oil

Hey, Christie. Best to you. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. It's the holiday season, and a lot of times, podcasts like ourselves will take off. But not us, Christie. We have bills to pay and miles to feed. So we are going to be producing brand new episodes of the Commercial Break this entire holiday season. And I thought it was important to let our audience know.

Jingle, jingle all the way home.Jingle.

Jangle your dingle-dangles. Stick with the Commercial Break and stay tuned for the 12 Days of TCB, our first ever 12 Days of TCB. That's right. December 13th through Christmas Day. Brand new episodes every day. I feel pretty awful inside, but I'm enjoying myself because I have got some new friends, and it's pretty strict, but I'll think I'll be all right. On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Well, it all does go back to P. D.

It all comes back to pea diddy. It all comes back to baby oil. This is a conspiracy by big oil, baby oil. Big corporate baby oil. Big corporate baby oil wants us to believe that P. D. Was the reason baby oil was sold out during the pandemic. But no, no, don't you believe it for a second? Big Baby Oil does different. The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now. It's 30 in the morning. Oh, yeah. Cats and Kittons, welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hotley. Best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. You're the shrimp paste on my mango. What else can I say? There you go. Chrissy and I doing hard research here at the Commercial Break. We learned a new delicacy. Yes, we learned a new delicacy, shrimp paste and mango. Mango, mango, mango, which sounds like... It tastes like puke in my mouth. That's what it sounds like. But hey, who am to judge. There are different cultures and different foods for everybody. I think we've asked this before, but what is the strangest food you think you've ever put in your mouth?

Yeah, I don't know. I can't remember. I mean, I've eaten... Probably it would be maybe related to the sushi world.

Yeah. For me, it's got to be Live Baby Octopus or beef heart, one of the two.

I haven't had either one of those.

Yeah. Just the whole... I went to a beautiful restaurant restaurant on Berkeley, near Berkeley in San Francisco. We were just traveling around the campus area over there in that retail district, going in and out of record stores. I mean, they do have some really fantastic places, little out-of-the-way places there. We went down some alleyway, down some stairs. Don't ask me how we got there, but then there was a door that we opened, and then we were all of a sudden in this dark, damp basement, and there was a paper door that we slid open, one of those real Japanese doors. There was a restaurant no bigger than this room. I'm not even kidding. There was 12, 13, maybe 15 seats in there. A little hidden secret. I know. Two top tables, four of them, and then bar chairs around. They had a window, but it went nowhere. It's just like a window to a brick wall. It looked authentically Japanese because it was authentically Japanese, so Japanese that no one there spoke English. At least not to us, they didn't. The menu was in Japanese, and I'm not even sure that they had a... I'm not even sure the health department had ever visited.

But it looked clean enough. It looked wonderful. At the time, I was up for a challenge. I said, All right, let's eat here. The lady that I was with, the young lady that I was with, loved sushi. That was her thing. I was like, Okay, let's do an authentic experience. We get this menu. It's all in Japanese. I have no fucking clue. There's some pictures, but none of it looks like stuff I would eat. I asked the waiter in English because I know no Japanese, give us what the chef would give us. Give us the chef thing. I get the chef's tasting. Eventually, after some hand gestures and drawing pictures with a pencil, I think he figured out- Food in mouth. Yeah, food in mouth. Chef, chop, chop. Chop, chop. Dumb American. Need worst food you have for most price. So he got it. He was like, Suckerborn every day. Here they come. And the first course comes out, fine, whatever. It's some, I think, calamari, quid, something, not cooked, but okay, all right. You put some... There's a little sauce with it. Ate it, a little spicy, a little sweet. I liked it. Very good.

Next one comes out. It is a plate with ice on it, and then there are like... I don't know how to describe it. You know how sometimes if you eat Escargot, you'll get it in a plate with little bowls in them? Like little tiny little bowls?

I've seen Escargot, but I have not He's not eating Escargot yet.

Oh, that's another pleasantry that I could skip altogether. Escargot, not my favorite. In there were, and it was like the ice was like, there was some dry ice. It was like that smoke coming out from it. And he put it down and in there was what looked like a baby octopus, right? A little tiny octipi. And I was like, Oh, okay. All right. I like a little octipi. I don't mind that. That's good. It didn't look cooked, but okay, whatever. Surely they're not going to give me anything that's going to kill me, surely. Then as I went to go grab the chopsticks, as I picked one up, I realized that the tentacles were wiggling.

It was swimming? Was it in water?

No, no, no, no. It was just sitting there. It was just on the ice, on the dry eyes? Yes. They were so chilled that they were sleeping. They were in that state of, Oh, shit, my body just shut down because, of course, it's a cold-blooded animal. So it just went to sleep, I guess. I don't know, Chrissy. Because all I know is now I'm in it. Now I'm there. Now the girl I'm with is challenging. Now it's a challenge, and she was a challenge altogether, right? Right.

Yeah, she was. And you love a good challenge.

I do love a good challenge. I wasn't going to back down from this. Listen, I'm not the most manly man in the world, but when someone puts me to a test, I don't know. I very rarely turn down something really idiotic. I'm just going to go ahead and do it. And as I'm putting it in my mouth, it is coming back to life. It is like,. And I was like, Oh, shit. This is live baby I put it in my mouth and it squiggled around and I could feel it and I swallowed it. I didn't take any bites. I swallowed it and I could feel it squiddling in the back of my throat. Absolutely terrible. There was nothing... I don't remember a taste to it, but I remember all of the texture. Did she eat hers? She did not, bitch. I know. I was like, Oh, my God, come on. You got to be kidding me. There were, I think, five of them in this little thing, and we just left four of them sitting there. Eventually, they really started to squivel around, and I was like, urgh. Then the waiter came back and I was like, Those are alive.

Those are not cooked alive. He was just like,. He bowed to me like I had done something great. Hey, listen, but Then as the night went on, I noticed that we weren't the only one who got this dish, and there were other people who were eating it also. I thought, Wow, that's brave. That is the freshest sushi you can get, is the kind that's still alive. It was not pleasant. For sure, yeah. Not pleasant at all. I don't remember the rest of the meal being particularly pleasant either. What I do remember is the $280 bill I got in the end. I mean, it was expensive.

Of course.

Yeah, because when you have a restaurant with 10 seats, you're going to have to charge everybody $1,000 in order to make it work. When you have even a room in a basement in Berkeley, it's going to be expensive. Yes. Wow. That, for sure, is at the top of my list. Then one time we went to a restaurant here, Cooks & Soldiers, which I I love very much. I love Cooks & Soldiers. It's a great restaurant. I didn't know, but when I worked at Chili's, there was a waiter that I worked with there, and I considered him a nudnik. You know what I'm saying? Not the smartest sharpest tool in the shed, but he was nice enough. He just always seemed to need help doing something. Like rolling silverware was a challenge. You know what I'm saying? How do you roll this silverware again? You'd be like, Really, dude? It's 50 cent silverware that you could bend with two fingers rolled in a piece of tissue paper. I mean, how hard can this be? It just was always everything was a challenge. Where do we get the ramecans? They're sitting right in front of you. How do you put ice cream on a thing?

And this went on for years. He didn't know how to do anything. But then all of a sudden, he's like the general manager at this really... And not all of a sudden, but 10 years later, he's his general manager at this really nice restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought, wow. He failed up. You You did. You found out where the ramecans go. Congratulations. You know where the ramecans go. It's all great. But I think he knew that I felt like he was a little bit of a dumb ass back then. But he treated us so wonderfully when we showed up to this restaurant. He was like, Oh, my God, it's been years. What are you doing? I said, Oh, here's my new wife. This is papa. Everyone's very pleasant to each other. I thought, Please don't talk about the cocaine margaritas. Please don't talk about the cocaine margarita. Please don't bring any of that up. Please don't bring up anything that ever happened then. This is my new... I hadn't known Astrid for all that long at the time. I think we were together for about a year, year and a half. He said, Let me do it.

You guys order the entrees. Rest. Let me take care of it. Oki doki, smoky pokey. First thing that comes out is some carpaccio. Delicious, beautiful, lovely. Second thing that comes out is octopus, right? Yeah. But actually cooked this time, right? So lovely. Polpo, It's a traditional Spanish way with a little paprika, salt, pepper, boiled, lovely. Then the third thing that comes out, he says, I'm not going to tell you what this is. I just want you to try it first. You're going to love it. Astrid smartly stayed away from it. Me and Rafa were there and we were like, Oh, okay. It looked like a steak. It looked like a piece of, not like steak, maybe like a liver, like a pâté or something like that. I thought to myself, This is foie gras. This is foie gras. This is what this is. We He started eating it. It had a distinct flavor of blood.

Oh, I can imagine.

Yeah, like when you cut yourself your finger and you lick it, it's like that irony taste to it. Iron taste, yeah. You can even smell it, right? You can smell that iron. In the first bite that I took, I was like, Oh, that tastes like I'm just drinking my own blood. That's gross. No shit. I don't know, 10 minutes later, he comes by. By the way, Rafa is gobbling it up. He's like, This is delicious. I love this. This is fantastic. I'm like, Of course, Of course. You lived in Costa Rica. You were literally picking stuff off the ground and eating it at one point. Honestly. Rafa claimed he was growing jalapenos in Costa Rica one time, and he's like, You love jalapeno? I love jalapenos. He brought something that didn't look like a jalapeno back to the house. He was chopping it up, and I tasted it, and for a week, I shot fire. It was not a jalapeno. It was something else, but it wasn't a jalapeno. Anyway, Rafa is gobbling it up. I'm trying to be polite because now this guy has given us something, and he's being so nice. Right. Now you feel obligated.

I feel, of course I do. I'm just pushing it around my mouth, trying to swal, trying not to... It's not the worst flavor in the world, but it's certainly not something I'm enjoying. Then he comes back whenever... The waiter was being coy with us, too. What do you think? We're like, Oh, yeah, it's great. What is it? He's like, I don't know. You guys take a guess. We're guessing all this. I'm like, It's foie gras. No, it's not foie gras. It's pâté. It's not pâté. It's guselet. No, it's not. Okay. All right. I'm like, I don't know. I'm at a loss. It's some liver. I'm sure of that. That's what it is. It's beef heart. I know this is a delicacy for some people, really like beef heart, but not for me. That was not for me. Bull's testicles, I've had those, the Rocky Mountain oysters.

You've gone bold in your life.

I have. Now, I stick to cream and cereal because I've had my moments in the sun. I've decided. I will share that Rocky Mountain oysters were not as good as some people claim, but not as bad as you would think. It is somewhere in the middle, and they're fried. It's anything that's fried. Everything that's fried has the same taste. It tastes like fried food. That's what it tastes like. What's the best bite of food you've ever had?

Oh, God. I mean, probably there's been some sushi and maybe a steak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A really, really good steak. Yes. Rathpins has a good steak.

Rathpins does have a good steak. Yeah.

I don't know. I love a good mashed potato, too.

Oh, well, there you go. That's bold. Your favorite bite of food is a mashed potato.

A creamy, buttery, salty mashed potato.

Yeah, that's really good.

I can think of all kinds of really good foods. I think it would be hard to narrow down the best I've ever had.

It's really hard. Yeah, because I also think it has to do with the moment that you're in, the place that you're at, the company that you're keeping, the smells in the restaurant, maybe even the tunes in the background. It all has to do with... I think there's two. One is a steak I had in Not in Valencia, but a steak that I had in the northern region of Spain. I can't remember the town that I was in specifically now. They are known. Portugal, northern Spain, they are known for their steak, for their beef, and the way that they age it, and how they use every bit of the cow, and how their cuts are perfect. That's what they do. For eons, they've been doing it the same way. We go to this town to go see Astrid's grandfather. Her grandfather has a best friend that lives down the street. So this best friend comes, Astrid, me, Astrid's father. Astrid's pregnant with Matias at the time with our child. Here, The whatever it is, the seven of us are. And Astrid's, she calls him an uncle, but it's not really an uncle. This best friend, right, is of Astrid's grandfather, is so excited to take me to this restaurant to get this steak.

That's nice. We drive a little bit outside of town. We go to this restaurant. It is a beautiful restaurant in this old building. It's rather large, cavernous, well-lit. It's the afternoon. There's not a lot of people there. They put us at this big roundtable. They come to take the order and the... I'm going to call it, say, uncle, right, says, in Spanish, I got this, right? I got this. Let me order for you. He's like, You want a steak? I'm like, I want a steak. Give me a steak. He orders this steak. Chrissy, the piece of meat, it's a cow. A cow shows up to the table, kills itself, and then puts it on my plate. It is the biggest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. It is bigger than a tomahawk. It is the biggest steak I have ever seen. I'm not a big eater. I can eat when I'm super hungry. Like anybody, I can eat a large amount of food. I cannot eat five pounds of meat in a sitting. Nor should you. This thing is huge and it is absolutely spectacular. It is delicious. Now, I only took six bites of it because there's only so much food that you can eat in one sitting.

I only took six bites of it. Then, of course, I tried to pay the check, but no one will allow me to do that because someone just ordered a $600 steak for me. Now I feel bad. I only took three bites of it. But I mean, what What do they want me to do? I don't know. I'm just a boy. I'm just a boy with a small appetite eating live octopus in a strange place in a basement in Berkeley. But I think that if that's not my favorite bite of food, my favorite bite of food would have been Polpo, Octopus, done the traditional Spanish way in a market in Madrid in their very famous Square. They have a lot of squares there. There's squares everywhere. There are, yes. There's a square and that square. Europe has lots of squares. Guadeloupe Square. Yes, there's squares. It's a great place to be festive and have a party and stare at your neighbor. I don't know. It's something like that. There's this huge Madrid food market there. It's this big building. It feels open air, but it's not. But it's a huge building, and there's a market inside.

It's always crowded. It's packed with people. We've been there a number of times. They have all these food vendors all around and in the middle of it. Then you go and you pick your food, and if you can find a seat, great. If you can't, you just eat while you're standing there talking to people. From one of these vendors, we got Octopus, which is not out of the ordinary there. You can get that almost anywhere. We got this octopus up. Sure, near the sea. Yeah, near the sea. Madrid is not near the sea, but Spain is known for their seafood. And sprinkled on a little bit of spices. A little lemon, a little salt and pepper. A little lemon, a little salt and pepper. Christie, it was the most delicious piece of food I've ever had, but not necessarily because the octopus was good, because the company, the atmosphere, the smells, the sights, the sounds, it was like a perfect moment in heaven. You know what I'm saying? I do. Then we had children. I know.

As you were talking about that.

I never had a moment again.

As you were talking about that, I thought about all the food I had in Italy. Basically, that is all the best food that you can imagine. The food there is just incredible. It's so fresh, so delicious, homemade, I mean, the pastas, the sauces, all the stuff. It's so good.

When you're talking about this, it reminds me of the time that Astrid and I were in Venice. Same trip, baby moon, whatever you call it. Baby moon before our first child. We went to Venice, and we spent, I don't know, I was thinking four or five days in Venice. It was cold. It was in February, freezing cold there. But that was good because that meant there were a lot less people. Tourists. Yeah, a lot less tourists, and we got the town to ourselves. One of the nights, Astrid and I were just dumping around, walking back to the hotel, and we're both hungry. We passed by this pizza place four or five times. The sign literally has one of those pizza guys. You know what I'm talking about? The guy with the pizza in his hand. In one hand. Yeah, and his hat's flying off. Like a caricature of a caricature of the pizza man, right? The roly-poly with an apron on. It's a drawing. I was like, That's not an Italian. This is their version of Domino's. But every time we pass, the place is packed, packed, right? And so it's the last restaurant before we get toward the hotel.

Esther and I look at each other, we're like, Why not a piece of Domino's Pizza before we go to bed? This was anything but Domino's Pizza. This was the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life from the cartoon Pizza Man. I got the best pizza I ever had in Italy from the cartoon Pizza Man. It was unbelievable. It was so good.

It's so good. God, the food there is just so good.

You can't deny that it went... The food in Europe is just so much better. I mean, listen, there are lots of great places to eat in the United States. I've been to a lot of them. Definitely. I'm not saying that every place you go to in Europe is so much better than the United States. It's not. But there are restaurants on every corner. Most of them are mom and pop restaurants, the family. That's the difference. Here, it's a fucking TGI Fridays on every goddamn corner. Not anymore. They went bankrupt. Or Cheesecake Factory, or everything is homogenized and it all tastes the same. You don't have that same mom and pop, the family gives a shit. Someone's back there cooking because they care, they love it, it's their livelihood. Neighborhood. You just don't have a lot of... You don't have as much of that here in the United States. I agree. That's what I love about Europe.

I feel like there's beginning to be a resurgence, though. Kind of. Especially downtown, where I am. There's a lot of just one place.

One off places?

Yeah. Family places, two friends, start something. Yeah.

I feel like because of the American dream, everybody wants to be and famous, that you open up a restaurant. It might start off as the love of food, but then you have to open up 12 more, and you have to stamp it and make it the next McDonald's or make it the next whatever. I don't know. I wish I'd love that about America because it really can come true. All your dreams can come true. You can be rich and famous, and all it takes is a little hard work and maybe some luck and a little bit of smarts and financial backing from Elon Musk. But then if you can do that, then that is the true American dream. But what sometimes sucks about the American dream is that because everybody wants to be rich and famous- More bigger, faster. More bigger, faster, run fast, break things, is that we don't ever, not we don't ever, but we get a lot less of the individuality. Because when you're trying so hard to be that stereotype- Bane to everybody. Yeah, you're trying to be everything to everybody, you're nothing to nobody. That is the challenge. That is why live octupus, and I'm not even kidding about this, that's why live octupus in a basement in Berkeley, that's why people are standing outside in line to get into that place, is because there's some originality to it.

There's some dude back there who just decided that this 300-foot office space turned into a beautiful Japanese replication restaurant is going to be my baby, and I'm going to take it to the moon, and this is all I need, right? Now, I say that it's probably the guy who started, Benny Hannah owns that. There's probably 12 of them in Berkeley. It's like a sushi chain. Probably. What do I know? Anyway, do what you love. Make it your passion.

Look at us. Life's too short to eat bad food.

That's right. Hey, listen, you are so fucking right about that. And look at us. You don't see us trying to stamp out franchises of the commercial rate. You know, there's some of these podcasters, all of a sudden, they want to build a network of other podcasters who sound just like them. Fine. Be a millionaire. Go ahead. Make a living. Pay for your kids, dude. Be good at what you do and have people like you. Instagram accounts more than 5,000 people. But I'll tell you what, it's fine. The water is warm down here in the shallow, and that's where I'm staying. That's right. We'll be back. In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner, and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at the Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB podcast, and go to our website, tcbpodcast.

This episode is sponsored by Prealcohol from Zbiotics. I am not one to and by a whole bunch anymore. I've got 13 to 15 children, checklists to get done and jobs to do. But even with moderation, I don't bounce back like I used to from a night of drinking. I find myself having to make that choice. Can I have a great night or a great responsible day tomorrow? A tough choice to make indeed. That is until I found a pre-alcohol. Zbiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by a PhD scientist to tackle rough mornings after drinking. And here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in your gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for that rough next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break down this byproduct. And just as long as you remember to take pre-alcohol as your first drink of the night, then drink responsibly. You'll feel your best tomorrow. We've now been out for a few nights of drinking where pre-alcohol is the first thing that I drink. Let me tell you, when I can get up in the morning, take care of my 12 to 13 children, still record an episode of the commercial break and make it to bedtime with a little bit of energy left in the tank to watch bad television, I know that pre-alcohol has done its job.

And with the holiday season upon us, I know I'm going to be consuming just a little bit more alcohol than usual. But with the alcohol, I can stay on track and not let the holiday season throw me off course. Go to zbiotics.

Thank you to zbiotics for being a sponsor of the Commercial Break and for making my mornings after drinking just a little bit easier. Okay, a couple of pop culture things that I want to talk about. Now, we're recording a little bit ahead of time right now. Not we're the most timely podcast in the world, anyway. No, we're not. But we're recording a little bit ahead of time because we got 12 days of TCB coming up, and we also would like to spend some time with our family or without our family, which is fine with me.

In the studio. In the studio. Here we are. I asked her to woke up this morning. She's like, I thought you were going to take some time off. I'm like, Yeah, Thanksgiving Day. You're all mine, babe. Don't worry about it. A couple of things. I just heard through the grapevine, and I'm I'm having a hard time seeing this in mainstream media, but apparently Jamie Fox was here in Atlanta at the Fox Theater.

Yes, I saw that.

Back in October or early November. Was it early November?

I thought you were going to talk about him doing karaoke with the housewives of Atlanta down in Miami.

Oh, no, I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit about that. Okay, Jamie Fox was down in Miami doing karaoke. We could do that one, too. Sure. Why not? Was our friend part of it?

Yes, our friend was part of it.

You're kidding me.

No, no, no, no, not our No. The other- Simon Guvaria? Well, the girl he's divorcing, Portia. Portia.

Yeah, she was part of it. We'll talk about that in a second, too, because this is Simon. For those of you who have listened to the Commercial Break for a very long time, you'll know that we have some inner twinglings with some people in the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I'll explain in a minute. What I really wanted to share was Jamie Fox is here in Atlanta doing a string of, I guess, stand-up comedy shows, entertainment four nights in a row. Jamie Fox, about a year and a half ago, he was here in Atlanta filming some movie with Cameron Diaz, and he fell very ill very quickly. He was rushed to the hospital, and for many weeks, No one heard anything from the Jamie Fox camp. Everybody was worried. He was alive. He was going to be alive. Everything was going to be okay. But no one said exactly what happened. A bunch of people speculated that he had a stroke on set. This upset Cameron Diaz so badly that she reportedly told Friends. This is all hearsay, by the way. Don't take anything here on the commercial break as actual facts. Cameron Diaz reportedly told Friends, I'm done with acting.

This is it. This is the last movie that I'm doing, and I'm walking off into the sunset. Now, whether or not this was a year ago or a year and some change ago, so whether or not that remains true, I don't know. But at the time, I remember reading that Cameron Diaz was so upset and flicked out that she decided no más. Jamie Fox's camp stays really tight-lipped about whatever it is that happened on that particular day.

We still don't know, right?

For sure. No one's ever said exactly what happened. But he did say, I came extremely close to death, and by the grace of his words, God and the help of the people in the medical facility and my friends and family, I'm here today. It took me a long time to get back on the horse, but here I am. About a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago in some change here in Atlanta, does this string of shows, four Nights at the Fox. Some people online, after they went to that taping, I guess it was a taping for something from Netflix, maybe. After they got done, some people popped online and started saying that Jamie Fox reportedly said that P. Diddy poisoned him, and that is why he almost died. What? Yes. Some people claim that he was not joking. While in general, this was of a comedy show, that this part of the show was not comedy, that he was being serious, that he said on stage and claimed that he was poisoned by P. Diddy. That's why he almost died, and that was no joke. No one seems to understand what he's talking about.

How P. Diddy got to Atlanta and tried to poison him? Don't know. How P. Diddy was on set or someone on behalf of P. Diddy tried to poison him?

I don't know. At this point, I'm not putting anything past the guy.

I'm not putting anything past it. I'm not saying it happened. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I thought it was interesting enough to talk about. I read this maybe a couple of weeks ago. Then our friend Paul Sheer put out a video sharing the same information. When Paul Sheer said it, I thought, Okay, I think I want to talk about it, too. I didn't want to talk about it a couple of weeks ago. Not that we have the reach or not the notoriety of Paul Sheer, but I didn't want to talk about it because it seemed like pure speculation to me. But now that people are talking about, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon, get some clicks. You know what I'm talking about, Christie? I think this is a very interesting turn of events. It starts to make some sense why Jamie Fox and his entire team never said a word. If Jamie Fox had a stroke, I think people would just say Jamie Fox had a stroke, and then he came back and now he's better.

Yeah. I mean, it is very strange that they haven't confirmed that because then that could help other people that have a stroke. Yes. He could be an advocate for stroke survivors.

But let me tell You know what the strangest part about this whole story is. You ready for this? Mm-hmm. Jamie Fox, at this same live event, claimed that the reason why the FBI got to P. Diddy was because Jamie Fox notified the FBI of his misgivings. Really? So Jamie Fox is claiming that he was the one who called the FBI. He was the one who notified them about all the shit. He was the one who also notified them he had It was poison. He cracked it wide open, and that's why P. Diddy went down. Jamie Fox and P. Diddy have been seen, filmed, lots of places. P. Diddy and Jamie Fox have been a lot of places They've been filmed and photographed and recorded. So many places together. It would, by all accounts, would appear that they were friendly with each other, right? But maybe not. Maybe something else was going on. This all reportedly might stem, might stem, from a time that P. Diddy allowed Jamie Fox for some documentary movie, something, to record one of his parties. Oh. Jamie Fox had cameras inside- Really? Of one of these parties. Now, some people say that Jamie was only allowed to record to a certain time, and then he had to shut the cameras down when the freak off started or whatever the fuck is going on in that place.

And some other people claim that maybe Jamie has footage that P. Diddy or the knowledge that P. Diddy didn't want out there. And so when When things started getting hot and heavy for P. D. D. He- It's poison time. It's poison time. Let's just go poison our enemy. It's poison time. I'm not talking about unskinny pop. You know what I'm saying? Unskinny bop, bop, bop, bop. I'm going to poison my best friend who's got the tips. Unskinny, bop, bop, bop. Yeah, that's wild. She's my cherry pie. Eat a poison.

That's not Poison.

Oh, that's not Poison? Who is that? Oh, that's Warrant. I think that's Warrant. That's Warrant. That's a different band. Okay, all right.

But anyways, I get the picture.

Yeah, you get the picture. This is absolute insanity, as far as I'm concerned. Like, P.

Diddy, if true, if true. I mean, there was the whole thing with the Molotov cocktail that he like, pitched onto somebody's car and blew somebody's car up. I mean, all kinds of nefarious things.

Threatening to kill people. Having them sign NDAs.

The obvious abuse.

The obvious abuse.

Physical abuse and mental abuse. And yeah, I mean, I'm not putting anything past the guy.

Listen, I've said this before. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I tend to think that the thing that makes most sense is probably true. Not always, but 9/11. I don't think thousands and thousands of people could cover up one incident. I just don't think that because it doesn't make much sense to me. You can't have one person keep a secret for very long, let alone thousands of people that would have to be involved in this. I'm just giving you an example. When people say that there's some crazy sex ring running around Hollywood and la, la, la, la deals with the devil and all this other shit, it, at least until recently, seemed not far-fetched. I believe that there are lots of bad deeds going on in Hollywood that are covered up by wealth and Fame. I have no doubt about that. I've been hip to that for a long time. Sure. Since Kennedy and Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, this has been going on for a long time. But I didn't think it was so crazy, and Diddy is now confirming that it is so crazy. It is crazy when you're poisoning other famous people because you're afraid they're going to turn on you or what the information that you have.

And all these people that are just like, Why is no one saying anything? Where are the other famous people that were at these parties saying something? And now there are lawyers trying to pay people to not mention other names. There are private- Yes, I've been seeing all that. I know. Private investigators are showing up to content creators' houses asking questions, saying that they can pay them to shut up or influence them.

It's a web.

It's It's a web. It's a big web. I think I'm seeing what's starting to happen here is that P. Diddy has money, wealth, and fame, and he is starting to use that money, wealth, and fame to throw a smokes screen out there. He's trying to get everybody all twisted up and mangle the facts and get to people before they say anything or get them to say something else or pay them to say something else. So that when the time comes for him to go on trial, it's so confusing and it's so he said, she said. There's so much bullshit out there, and people been threatened and paid and all this stuff, that there's a likelihood that the jury doesn't want anything to do with it. They just say, not me, hung jury or not guilty because I don't want anything to do with it. This happens a lot with people that are rich and famous. That's why there's two different systems of law in this country, one for us and one for the people who have power and wealth. So this is becoming insane to me. And if true, P. Diddy tried to poison Jamie Fox.

Is that not the craziest thing That is nuts.

You've ever heard? That is nuts. I mean, to the point of almost death.

Yes. Now it's making sense why Cameron Diaz got freaked out, right? Because Cameron Diaz and Jamie Fox are apparently very friendly with each other, and she may have been one of the few people that knew what was going on. Now it makes sense why Jamie Fox's team or Jamie Fox never said anything about what exactly happened. Now it makes sense why all of a sudden the FBI got hept to this and really went after Diddy hard core. I mean, there was that lawsuit Yes, but the FBI probably was on to him before that.

It had to have been. I mean, after all the years.

I know. All of this for a terrible movie that Cameron D. S. And Jamie Fox made. It bombed, like big-time bomb. What was the movie? Oh, I can't even remember the name of it, but I saw the trailer and I was like, That looks like the most uninteresting movie I've seen. I mean, listen, props to both of them. They're great. It's a great actor and a great actor. Yeah, they're. Getting together. Jamie, Fox, And Cameron Diaz's movie is called... Oh, it was on Netflix. Parents Back in Action is what it's called. Back in Action.

That didn't even pop up on my Netflix. Like, we recommend this for you.

Well, oh, maybe it's not even come out yet.

Oh, that's why.

Well, this is November 19th, I think. Well, let's put it this You haven't heard much about it, right? It's not one of those movies. It's not out yet. What movie? Oh, it's not coming out until January 25th. Okay, rewind the tape a little bit. Brian's wrong. No one said anything about it. I did see the trailer. No one said anything about it because it's six months. Critics have given it a zero. Critics have said nothing. It's a cone of silence about anything having to do with this movie. This is why we We desperately need a producer in here to help us fact check shit, man. I swear to God. I'm sorry. It doesn't come out until January. It doesn't come out until January. It's called Back in Action. Maybe it's great. I saw the trailer for it. It didn't look great, but okay, whatever. I don't know. Who knows? Maybe I should actually watch the movie before I make a determination about whether it's good or not.

Yeah, maybe.

Here's Brian, the trailer critic. The trailer was terrible. It must have already come out.

The trailer was terrible.

Well, another hot topic segment ruined by Brian's complete inaccuracy. Complete disregard for any facts or research whatsoever. Maybe they should have started with, What was the movie they were filming when he got poisoned? Where did that go? How's that doing? Oh, my God. Oh, Brian. You know, if I was another podcaster, I'd I'll shut this part out. But guess what? I've got too many episodes to do, so you get shit and I'll get shit. We're all going to get shit. My face hurts. I'm laughing so hard. Sorry, Jamie. I'm sure the movie's great. Cameron, my apologies. Like they're listening.

Well, it all does go back to P. Diddy.

It all comes back to P. Diddy. It all comes back to baby oil. This is a conspiracy by big oil, baby oil. Big corporate baby oil. Big Corporate Baby Oil. Big Corporate Baby Oil wants us to believe that P. Diddy was the reason baby oil was sold out during the pandemic. But no, no. Don't you believe it for a second? Big baby oil does different.

Big oil.

Yes. Big oil. Big baby oil. Pea diddy is going to be found dead in a jail cell because of big baby oil. That's what the truth is. Oh, my God. Cameron Diaz, Jamie Fox, P. Ditty, they're all covering up for big baby oil. I see you, Johnson & Johnson. You got to manipulate price after women stopped using it for a Suntan lotion. And your stock went in the shitter. Well, guess what? We know. We know.

That's right.

It was actually Johnson & Johnson that tried to poison Jamie Fox. Big baby oil. Okay, maybe that's a good place to take a break. I think so. So I can research the story I'm about to talk about before I talk about it. Okay. Well, I've had it my face a lot on this show, but that was a big one. That was a big one. Back in action. Coming on Netflix, January 17th, 2025. Check it out. I'm going to give him a plug now that I just ripped him a new asshole for no good reason. Except for I can't be bothered to read. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner, and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at the Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB podcast, and go to our website, tcbpodcast. Com, for more information about Brian and Chrissy, and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes.

Now, please text us at 212-4333-TCB, and tell Brian and Chrissy to let me out of the closet.

All right, here we are. Chrissy doing her makeup.

Oh, my lips are insanely chapped.

I know. Some of my kids have that, too. It's terrible. I can't get it.

My face is chapped. I can't get it better. I can't get them better. I've tried every Vaseline? Oh, yeah.

I've tried all these- Regular lotion, like Cetaphil?

Yes, I've tried regular lotion. It works for a minute, and then it just doesn't. Because you know what I found?

If anybody had... I know you have this, and this is terrible. I dated a girl one time when I was in high school who had the permanent chap lips, and her lips like, crawled like a half an inch down below her face. I have that right now.

I have that right now.

Oh, yeah, you do. You poor thing. Anybody out there have a good... We're not talking about a little bit of dry lips. We're talking about super chap lips, the kind where your lips start to extend beyond their normal range because it's so red and irritated. If anybody has a good idea about that, help Chrissy out.

But this does happen. A lot of times when I go to Colorado, if it's in the winter, then they get really chapp like this, too, because it's dry. It's dry. It's dry. And so with the heat now, because it all of a sudden went from 70 to 20 here in Atlanta. That's crazy. Of course, the heat's kicking on. Now there's the dry heat. So I even got a humidifier. You should. I put that in the room. I just have had that going for a day.

We give that some time to work. I put a humidifier on summer, winter, because air conditioning can be dry, too. So Either which way, it's like you go on an airplane, you got that air conditioning blowing on you. It's just like your throat is dry, your skin is dry, your body is dry. You feel like you're dehydrated. I've had that humidifier kicking for three years. Every night, pain in the ass, but I fill it up, I turn it on low, and I let it go. It has helped some of my children and myself with dry skin. I get dry skin around my belt line, on my hip, and it's weird because I don't... That could have something to do with so much calcium in body, too, for such a long time. But some of my kids have that chap lips. This girl that I dated, it was so terrible. It looked painful, kissing her like you could feel how dry her lips were. That didn't matter to me, whatever. It is what it is. But what I found sometimes helps one of my children, specifically, who has really dry lips, is I'll put Vaseline on during the day or bird's bees or whatever.

But then at night, I just put regular lotion, like the C to fill that I use on their skin or my skin. That's what I use. I just put it on the lips, too. Okay. And occasionally- We all try that combo. Yes, try that combo. Here's the thing I think about chap lips in general, is that once you start using some of those moisturizers on your lips, your body starts to depend on it.

I'm a chapstick person anyway, no matter what. So yeah, this is bad.

It's your worst thing. All right. It'll get better. It's fine. Any dermatologist is out there.

That's the worst thing.

Yeah, I know. That's the worst thing that you got. That's not bad. I got chapped face. I'll tell you what. I've been putting this cream on my face, right? And then I think maybe I also got shingles on there, too, which is something sometimes that can happen. Oh. Yes. Which is terribly painful. It hurts very bad. Now I have all these pock marks on my face. Now it's going away a little bit, but it's going to take a little while for it to recover from, I think, that one, two combo that has been going on. I'll tell you what, I feel like I'm a teenager again. When I was a teenager, I had cystic acne. Cystic acne is not like It's also the annoying little zits that are all over the place in clusters and all that other stuff. But then it's cystic acne.

Like really in the ground.

Huge, yeah. Big zits that are... You look like Rudolf the Red Nosed Reinder if you get one on your And that was happening to me when I was a teenager. And I'm telling you what, you want to hide your face in a shirt or something. And I think that may have been where maybe I started feeling like I needed to be funny. Tan? Tan. Tan. Well, that's it, too. That's it. So I'll tell you the story. So I started to feel like maybe I needed to use something besides my good looks to impress people because I wasn't that good looking with this cystic acne all over my face. I It would start to be funny. It was a defense mechanism, essentially, I think. Then that went on. Two years into this, so now I'm 14, 15 years old. I've been dealing with this for three, maybe four years. I started getting hair on my legs when I was like, 10. I went through puberty pretty early. It's all those antibiotics in the middle. Steroids in the meantime. My mom drives me to dermatologist. I've tried everything. I've tried retin A, I've tried Clearacel. I've tried oral medication to dry out my skin, all this other stuff.

New product on the market called Accutane. Now, Accutane, I don't even think they give it out anymore.

I don't think they do either. Jeff was on it, too. Oh, he was? When he was hunger, and it damages your liver, I think.

It damages your liver. It can damage your kidneys. But the worst part about it is it can make you suicidal. It's known to induce suicidal ideation. It fucks with your brain, too. It's a terrible, terrible drug. But at the time, it was considered a miracle.

That was the thing. I remember a lot of people were getting on that.

Yes. My dermatologist said, You got a pretty bad case of acne. I mean, you got it on your face, on your chest, on your back. Let's get you on this, Accutane. You got to take, I think it was first 30 or 60 days, something like that, and you take it, and I took it religiously. Now, let me tell you, it did fuck with my brain. It sent me into some weird tailspin. Now that I look back on it, now knowing what I know, I realized that I wasn't going crazy. I was just taking a weird drug. But that period of my life, like that 90 days or whatever that I was taking it, or around the time when I was taking it, I was in some weird emotional tailspin, for sure. No, also going on in my house, too. So it was hard to tell what was going on.

Also, you were yawn. That time in your life, 13, 14?

I was 15 when I started taking it. My first girlfriend, dramatic drama. Hormones, kicking. Everything, I love you. I would die I'd die for you. Robin hood had just come out. I take this drug and your face just starts peeling at some point. Repeatedly, never-ending peeling, peeling, peeling. It's drying out your skin. That's what it does. It stops the oil production in your body. I think that's what it does. That's how it was described to me. It goes, so my doctor explains to me that, Hey, listen, so I got to do this checkup once every three weeks. I got to go in there. He's like, Okay, it's working. Now the peeling part comes. It didn't end. It went on for two and a half straight months. I was just peeling all the time. It was really weird and gross. I hated it. I wanted to kill myself. I wanted to throw myself into the McDonald's fry basket. I did. I was like, This is terrible. My skin was so red.

I can imagine. No, at that time of your life, again, you're awkward. You're so worried about appearances and what other people think.

It was horrible. Luckily, I had some good friends around me that were like, didn't seem to care, though I noticed they didn't want to eat around me. But, hey, listen, what are you going to do? But, man, did it work. It worked like a fucking charm. I mean, after six months, which is what the whole course- Whole duration. The whole duration after six months, I don't think I ever had another cystic acne breakout again. But my doctor explained to me, Hey, listen, dude.

If you could make it past the suicide thoughts.

If you could make it past suicide. And crazy peeling, then you're good.

That's right.

If you can make it past the unalive part, you're going to be great. But no one knew this at the time because it was a brand new drug on the market. There hadn't been a It hadn't been out long enough for anybody to know. I'm telling you what, work like a charm. It was six months of huge fucking roller coaster and really dark, deep, weird thoughts. But again, you're a teenager, too, so those are coming anyway, right? It's just amplified by this weird drug that you're taking. Then so we get toward the end of the course now, and he said, Listen, we'd have no idea how long this is going to work for, but it's likely not to last for the rest of your life. It's not a bad idea just to keep a little sun on your face, keep it dry, wash it frequently, all that other stuff. The stuff that dermatologists were saying at the time about Accutane and the thoughts that they had around acne, which is dry out your skin, Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's part of the reason it got me hooked on sun. Yeah, on sun.

I love sun. Now I'm all about sun, and I think it's helping my skin, yada, yada, yada. But I'll tell you what, when you have this one, two combo of putting this florasourcil on your face and then also possibly shingles. It's so fucking painful, and it's so red. This feels like the worst sunburn I have ever had in my entire life. It's so fucking painful, and I want to hide my face. It doesn't look bad. I know it doesn't look bad now, but I tell you what, over the weekend, it was angry. I stopped taking this, by the way, I don't know, six days ago, five days ago, when I think I had shingles pop up around there, I was like, Oh, okay, that's enough. We're out over the weekend, and Astrid, lovely, lovely wife of mine that I just love and adore so much, and she is just such a champ in my corner all the time. But you got to bullshit your partner sometimes, right? You just have to bullshit your partner sometimes. I'm like, Hey, we're getting ready Saturday, whatever. I'm looking at myself in the mirror and I'm like, Oh, my God, this is terrible.

I hated it so much that I put a mask on before I went to Starbucks. I had one of those COVID masks on. We're getting ready to go to the social function and I say, Oh, babe, this just... No, babe, it looks fine. Honestly, you put your glasses on. It looks fine. Now, I know she's singing me a song. She's trying to calm me down a little bit. It looks fine. You're fine. It doesn't look all that bad, blah, blah, blah. I go, Babe, I think everybody notices this. It's so bad. It's terrible. She goes, No one's going to notice. It just looks like a little bit of redness on your cheek. Don't worry about it. I'm like, I heard it so bad. She goes, Don't worry about it. No one's going to notice. We walk in to this birthday party at this Chuckie fucking Cheese. Oh, God. Which I thought was going to be terrible. Not the birthday party itself, but being at Chucky Cheese for 2 hours with the kids screaming and yelling and asking for more money. But it wasn't. It was actually a fun... We had a fun. Everybody had a fun time.

It was a great party. I walk in, the only two people that I know, everybody, everybody, within three seconds of talking to me, What happened to your face? I was in a fight with Mike Tyson. What do you want? What do you want from me? Every time I look over at Astrid and Astrid's like, Oh, it's not that bad. Okay, so then Sunday morning, we got more social functions to go to, and we're going to go to my mom's, right? We know my mom's going to have lunch for the Thanksgiving because she's got to stay in the place. She can't get up the stairs here right now. I'm like, Honey, it looks bad again. It just looks so bad. I wish it would calm down. No, it looks better. You look fine. It looks better today. You're fine. Everything's going to be great. Wait, no one's going to notice. Don't worry about it. We walk in to this private room that my mom got at, the facility to have a little party, and we walk in. What's the first fucking thing my mother, What happened to your face? And I don't even answer. I'm like, and Aster is like, Oh, it's a thing.

Don't mention it, Vicky. Don't mention it. It's a thing. Now there's this second party that we got to go to, and we're driving home for my mom's, and I'm like, I told you, babe, it looks bad. It feels bad. It's just so bad. She's like, Okay, all right. You know what? You know what? I'm going to give you a break here. You don't have to go to the second thing. Okay, we can just go ahead, stay home. I'll take the kids to go home. I'm like, Honestly, I would not normally go, Okay, I'm going to bail on this, right? You have all these kids with you. But I said, Honey, I'll give bath times. I'll give you an orgasm. I'll give bedtime. It's all me as long as you take these kids as a thing, because if one more person stares in my face and me what's wrong, I'm going to go back into full-grown, 15-year-old psychosis. Which is what I feel like. It's weird. Therapists say that's your inner child. It's all your experiences. It's your inner child speaking. I believe it. I've always believed it. But my inner child came roaring back. I felt so fucking weird.

I was just like, God damn, I feel like I'm 15 again. People just staring at my face. And Nasser is like, I just remember this. Next time you want to go to the tanning bed. I'm like, Don't even get started with me. Don't. Don't start with me, woman.

No more tanning beds, though. No more tanning beds.

Well, listen.

Look, the stuff that you were just putting on your face was for sun. Sun damage. Yes.

I know. Now I got a fresh start.

Oh my God.

That's where my brain goes. I got a fresh start. What did I say? I don't know if I'll be doing... Well, listen, I don't know if I'll be doing sun tanning anymore, but I will- Go all in on the spray tan.

Go all in on a spray tan.

I know, but it's just not the same. I don't want to be like Donald Trump walking around with two racoon eyes and like half my face sprayed, but the other half not. And two, I have a bald head. So if I'm going to spray tan, we got to go all the way. I got a little a bit of hair on top. Do you know what I'm saying? Because if someone spray tans me, because I've done this before, I've done this spray tan, someone spray tans me, there's going to be these lines around my hair. And how do I handle that?

I'm going to look like an idiot. There's plenty of things on the market, too, that you could try at home.

That's good quality stuff. I did. You gave me something. Then this girl at the tanning bed, I did spray tan for a while, and it didn't look terrible. It looked okay. But then this girl at the tanning bed sold me on the $700 whatever. Yeah. I mean, I swear to God, I have more lotions in there from that tanning place. I swear to God, that tanning place gets me every fucking time. She's like, You have $370 worth of tan pan credits, and you want to use them for this? And I'm like, No, no, no. Why? They're going to expire? And I'm like, Okay. She's like, You can get 12 bottles of lotion with that $300. And I'm like, Okay, tax and service fee is $500. I was like, Wait, I have $600, and now I'm spending $500? How did that happen? And then she gets me with this I'm like, Listen, I don't know how much longer I want to be doing the real stuff. You have a tanner. I don't know what you call it, whatever. She said, I'll use this. It's great. I use it, and I literally turn commercial break orange the next day.

I'm walking around like a neon song.

I have some other stuff I'm going to give you. I'm going to give you some other stuff. You can just try it on a little patch of your skin before you go full face and head.

I'm going to try it on my penis first. See if I can get a little darker, a little longer. Yeah. Well, listen, here's the moral of the story, kids. The moral of the story is don't take Accutane. That's the moral of the story. That's right. Jeff took it, too. Yeah, he's got good skin now, too. Yeah. Does he like the sun?

No. No? He's not a big sun, Tanner. Oh, well. I mean, he doesn't hate it.

The tale of two cities.

Well, he actually did have a little skin cancer on his face one time, so now he always slathers up the sunscreen.

Oh, he does? Like the serious skin cancer?

No, I mean, it wasn't serious, but he had it removed and it was fine. But since then, he's very adamant about putting sunscreen on, which I like.

I'm adamant about the self-checking all the time because I have freckles, too. I'm Irish, so I got to be really careful because what can appear to be a freckle may not be a freckle, right? Yeah, we both go for full body scans once a year. So do I. Once a year. The doctor always says, looks great. Nothing to be concerned about, right? Nothing to be concerned about. I had this little patch on my face, and one day I woke up and it was red. I was like, Oh, that's weird. I don't remember hitting myself. He said, Well, it could be this chisosis or whatever you call it. It's not cancerous. It's pre-cancerous, but it's not a dangerous kind. It just makes rough patches. He's like, Or it could be this other kind that is a little bit more upsetting, but we could just cut it out. He's like, So what you got to do is let's do that for a sorosil and let's see how it reacts. I think it's not the dangerous kind. But the point is, check your body all the time. Definitely. You got to do that. Then Astrid and I, we've got these.

He gave us this card, and it's like, This is what to look for. You can do the self-check or you can do the partner-check. Check your partner and check all over. He looks under my scrotal. That's how in detail he gets. No, I know. It's full body. Does your dermatologist go vulva? No. Okay, just checking. Well, then they're not doing me. Listen, he asked me, Anything weird in your butt hole? That's what he asks me. Anything weird in your butt hole? I'm like, How the fuck am I supposed to know? Now or before. What's that?

Now or before.

Yeah, now or before. When? Right now? I don't know. Is your finger up there? What's going on? What are we doing, Doc? I didn't come here for a full rectal examination. I came here to check my skin, and he's like, Skin's everywhere, dude. Biggest organ on your body. That's true. Do yourself checks. Check your tits, check your dick, check your skin. That's what we got to say. That's what we got to say. That's the of our story.

Another great PSA.

Yeah, another great PSA for Brian. That commercial. Check your butt, check your boobs, check your balls. Check it all. Check it all. Check everything. You got to check. It's your body. You need to take care of it. No one's going to do it for you. Even the doctors get it wrong sometime. True. Take it from a guy who spent almost 20 years with a body full of calcium. Like I was eating a calcium stick. Like I had a calcium lick to my face.

God, that's crazy to think about.

It really is. To be sick for so long and not even... And then to have indicators that that's what's happening and have no one pay attention to it is scary. And that's why I say it's up to you.
