Wait, Chrissy, are you on TikTok? Do you doomscroll?
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Okay, Chrissy doesn't know about it because she has a good relationship with technology. A healthy relationship. I don't know about it because my TikTok becomes Nate the Hoof Guy instead of that. And then I watch this man clean and shave horse and cow hooves for hours. And do you know about Nate the Hoof Guy? I love him.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
That's actually true. If you listen back, I only invited Chrissy.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
long it's been in my eye for it must have been and then it got me thinking think about like your eye literally is outside inside yeah yeah yeah so i was like what stuff has gone to the inside that never came out because i feel like that hair was in there for a while yeah yeah yeah yeah i guess because your eye is constantly washing itself it probably like a little bit of it got stuck and then it just started sucking it in while you were sleeping oh it's in the brain it's in the brain yeah

You physically can't become a billionaire without murder. Murdering people.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Murdering people. It's not possible. Yeah. And I like, okay, I heard someone just really put it into perspective, and I'm actually going to really butcher the actual...
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
uh math of it but you get the idea all the time oh yeah don't worry yeah yeah okay don't matter on this podcast but someone was like a million seconds is like 11 days okay or 11 minutes a million seconds is 11 11 minutes is 11 days but a billion seconds is like 36 years oh That's a big difference.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
So to become a billionaire, you're fucking up. You're fucking people up.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Just for today. And that's just for today. Think about that. Think about that.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Well, we just shared it. It's way too much. I'm like, they're my employers. Yeah. I'm like, cut it out.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
And I'm like, for what? And I'm like, yes, I'm sending my child to college. But that like... I that blows my mind. I actually think this like how every week there's like a new sort of like hot thing that happens. I saw this like on TikTok.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I saw one of those like time-lapse graphs of like, starting from the early 90s or maybe even the 80s, what like the hottest, the most watched shows were every month.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
From then until now. And it's like, you can see in the 90s, there's like, you know, like Friends really like kind of like had a stronghold. And it was like the top show for a really long time. And like kind of Grey's Anatomy came up and it was up there. And like, you know, like Baba, you saw this. And then as we get into sort of the streaming era, like, The graph starts going crazy.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Every week, it's a different thing. Oh, yeah, it is. And you're like, oh, God, there's just so much stuff to watch.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I mean, it probably won't be me. It'll probably be like the Disney exec that's making that.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I will be able to, you know, put my kid through school.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I have chickens. Oh, I love chickens. I have three chickens, but my best friend just told me that for Christmas, he's getting me three more chickens. And he's going to get me, it is actually one of the nicest things, one of the nicest, most thought out presents I've ever gotten. But do you know about Silky Chickens?
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Oh my God. Okay. Look them up and then like, maybe like add a image of them. If this is going to also be a new, right here. Soak the chickens. They're gorgeous. They're little pom poms as chickens. They're like five different pom poms put together. They're incredibly hot. And so like, you can't, once they become like an adult or even teenager, you basically can't get them. Oh my God. I know. Right.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
My best friend is going to drive two and a half hours out of LA to go to a silky chicken farm and to get three silky chicks. And it's a bit of a gamble because you can't tell like the sex of the chicken until they get a little older. And I don't really want roosters because they're going to impregnate all my hens. And then I'm going to have 1,000 chickens.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
A million. Yeah. But again, you can't tell. And once they are adult, they're just snapped up. You can't even get them. So they're like statistically, if we got three baby chicks, at least one or two of them will be hens. And we just have to take the gamble. So I'm getting three silky chickens, one or two or three of which may be a rooster. And I might have... Breed them. Yeah, totally.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Oh, my God. That is my contribution. That contribution is eggs.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Yes, because I come with chickens. I also come with a toddler. And so that's that. But, you know.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
You will have silky chickens. But I'm going to have, and they all give me at least, they give like one egg a day. I get a lot of eggs.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Chrissy can. Chrissy, who's in my bunker, can. Silkies don't lay that many eggs. I think they lay like maybe three a week and they're really, really small. So they don't contribute that much. But silkies are like me in that our contribution is mainly vibes. Oh, Jack.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
We do. Our bunker has lights out at 10 p.m. And then doors are closed to guests.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
So that's okay. The ingrown hairs will be plucked. Yes, they will. I want to add that too. I will pluck ingrown hairs in our bunker.

TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
My mom let me pop a blackhead for her once and it like made, I mean, I'm obviously still thinking about it.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Well, I do feel like I should let your listeners know that I look like a full trad wife right now. Just so you have a visual, behind this voice is a trad wife. Yeah, I look like I'm going to sell you a toaster oven or like a vacuum.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Or are we both models and we're both coming from our joint modeling jobs, Koff Koff, Nara Smith, Lucky Blue Smith. Yes. I know that I'm really deep in that lore. I say this as someone who doesn't have any trad skills. I really can't cook. I have a child, too, and I thought after I had my child, I would learn how to cook. Some maternal instinct for cooking would kick in. And it hasn't.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I don't have the je ne sais quoi for, you know, like, I feel like you just need some people don't have it. Yeah. I really don't. And that's okay. You've got other, you've got other skills.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Thank you to Des. We love Des. Wait, actually, that's funny, though. Me and my friends were just talking about what all of our skills would be in the apocalypse, like what we would contribute to the commune. Oh, that's a good question. I really spent a long time trying to think what my contribution is. I really, really struggled. I think, most honestly, the thing that I bring is vibes.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I really think I can bring some solid vibes. And also I was like, I guess I could start a thespian society. Yes. Yes. Which the apocalypse needs. Yes. Yes.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I would say right below cooking and electrician is the vibe guy, which is me. But interesting to say, first thing in the morning, My vibe guy would probably come in around noon to start the vibes. So the people that wake up in the morning, you don't get the vibes until a couple hours later. I'm with you on that.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I'm like, I need my coffee and I need my Vyvanse before I talk to anyone. Oh, Vyvanse.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Yes. Well, the thing with Vyvanse is it can, you can accidentally use it for the wrong things. So like I have sort of my productivity window after I take it and like on a good day, I can really get all my shit done during that window. On a bad day, I really waste my Vyvanse productivity on like a super animated conversation. And then I'm like, oh God, now it's over.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Wait, what would both of your skills be? What would your contribution be to the bunker?
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
Oh, no, but you would also do the bunker podcast, which every bunker needs.
The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu

The Commercial Break
TCB Infomercial w. Poppy Liu
I do a really good pre-bed routine in which I doom scroll for at least an hour. And then... and then have incredibly bad anxiety dreams. And that's just a little bit of my evening routine that I love to do.

I know the building that everyone likes to climb in Shanghai. It literally, but they built it in such a way that like, you want to climb it. It's basically ladder-sized footholds the entire length of the building. They basically... I hate to say it, but that building was kind of asking for it. I would never say that phrase in any other context, but for that building, it's saying...
