0

13.563 - 16.43 Krissy Hoadley

Well, I'd love to, but my measles is done acting up again.

0

16.972 - 41.028 Unknown Speaker

Are you suffering from monthly, weekly, or even daily flare-ups of your measles? Ask your doctor what Placebitide can do for you. Placebitide, also known as table salt, is a prescription drug targeting receptors in your brain. Those receptors can make you believe that you can cure your own measles. Placebitide is known to be over 0.003% effective in all adults and 0% effective in all children.

41.767 - 63.283 Unknown Speaker

I used to think my rash was contagious I used to sit inside all day I used to think my doctor would cure me Now I can just wish it all away Placid by Tide makes my measles better Placid by Tide makes my rash a less redder Placid by Tide

66.581 - 91.32 Unknown Speaker

In rare circumstances, placebo tide may have serious side effects. Consult your doctor. If you experience any of the following rash fever, better tasting chicken, high blood pressure, the inability to retain water, over seasoned pasta and fruits name like a horse hospitalization due to measles, the actual measles, the retraction of invitations to social functions and

91.4 - 99.646 Unknown Speaker

The inability to join other human beings in public places. Losing touch with family members. Losing touch with reality. And in rare cases, divorce.

100.587 - 114.217 Unknown Speaker

I used to avoid indoor parties. I used to fear going outside. But now I love my little red bumps. I love my rash. It's pretty fly.

Chapter 2: What is Placebitide and its effects?

266.767 - 273.952 Unknown Speaker

Yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Gray, and this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Holdley. Best to you, Kristen.

0

273.992 - 274.752 Unknown Speaker

Best to you, Brian.

0

274.812 - 278.915 Unknown Speaker

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. The 5.30 kind of slowed me down for a minute. 5.30!

0

282.417 - 290.059 Unknown Speaker

Dinner time. Dinner time. Chicken nuggets to serve. What was he serving? Chicken pot pie or some shit like that? Yeah, what was it?

0

290.079 - 302.321 Bryan Green

Chicken nuggets. No, dumplings. Chicken and dumplings. Chicken and dumplings. Good old Mother's Day dinner with a weirdo in the corner that I didn't attend because I had to get my kids out of there. For their own safety. For their own safety.

302.481 - 303.301 Unknown Speaker

Yes.

304.362 - 318.638 Bryan Green

Oh, my mother. My good old mother. She left me a message that some other people in the place are listening to the show and I thought, okay, well, you know, I won't be allowed there anymore, so that's good news. The old retirement home is going to kick me out.

319.299 - 324.021 Bryan Green

I don't know what to say anymore. There's going to be a picture of you on the front door that says, if you see this guy.

324.281 - 346.827 Bryan Green

Yeah, see this guy. No inties. No tixies, no taxis. No takesie-backsies. Which reminds me, like, I go up to that Starbucks so much. And I know a few people up there do know now about the commercial break. But they don't say anything, which is very nice of them. Some people have said a few things. But it's never been anything that made me feel uncomfortable. I do appreciate that.

Chapter 3: What embarrassing moments can happen at family gatherings?

3793.659 - 3798.734 Unknown Speaker

Yes, you are. The no dance. The body dance.

0

3798.774 - 3804.456 Bryan Green

The body dance. The body double dance. We're going to call it the body double dance. All right.

0

3804.516 - 3814.56 Unknown Speaker

All right. Depressing statistics and things there. Yeah, thanks. Can't all be shits and giggles.

0

3816.761 - 3820.522 Bryan Green

Yeah, I had to talk about that stat that I heard on International Women's Day. That was...

0

3822.458 - 3823.919 Bryan Green

That's awful.

3824.5 - 3829.044 Bryan Green

It is awful. It's awful. It's depressing as a matter of fact.

3829.084 - 3829.345 Unknown Speaker

Yes.

3829.525 - 3841.782 Bryan Green

But we should be talking about it. People should be talking about this. How is that even possible? How is it even possible? And the music singularity is not as depressing, but it's kind of depressing when you think about it. It is, yeah.

3841.882 - 3862.248 Bryan Green

It's just so hard for people to make a living doing music anymore that it dissuades good musicians from making music for a living because we don't pay attention to them because they can't be paid attention to. There's nowhere for them to go. There's no MTV. There's no radio. All of the music apps are just game algorithms.

Chapter 5: What challenges does the new Snow White movie face?

2116.676 - 2135.433 Bryan Green

And you've got to imagine that that TV has changed their life in so many ways. They're on season number 15. But here's the part that gets me, is that they really do not shy away from talking about any of the drama going on in the family, including problems with their kids. Like problems those kids would probably rather not have the entire world watching.

0

2135.773 - 2144.582 Bryan Green

And yet they do not shy away one bit, those parents, from talking about... like the kids, like in the cutaways, you know, the confessionals.

0

2144.602 - 2145.163 Unknown Speaker

Right, right.

0

2145.263 - 2161.281 Bryan Green

They talk about those children in ways that I'm like, oh my God, if my parents were talking about me like that, I would be mortified, mortified. But yet that train keeps on going. It's these parents, they just don't shut up. And I am, this last episode, I was floored.

0

2161.781 - 2188.78 Bryan Green

florida one of the girls in the family is having trouble with the family she was adopted and she is her behavior is not to the liking of the parents but she's like 24 years old but it's not to the liking of the parents and the parents are like we will not give up on our children but we will not give in and if she's she's acting like this for attention and you know what we're not giving it to her she can be a baby she can go off in the corner and cry we're not giving her the attention she is seeking it's too dramatic and i'm like oh my god

2189.4 - 2200.843 Bryan Green

Like, imagine being that child walking through life and the whole world is like, oh, your parents think you're an idiot. It's hard enough that she's having trouble with the family and that the parents are talking shit in the confessionals.

2200.963 - 2204.524 Bryan Green

I know. God. Well, but the girl, the child is 24?

2205.744 - 2206.925 Bryan Green

Yeah, she lives on her own.

2207.085 - 2208.138 Bryan Green

Oh. Yeah.
