Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Chapter 2: What is TCB's Colloidal Collada Cooler?
Listeners, listeners, listeners. You, the listeners. I want to waste no time.
It's listener appreciation day.
It's listener appreciation day. That's right. We're going to be having a listener call in later. One of our first listeners that's ever called in. I know. I am excited, too. We've been texting, interacting for a while. I'm interested to find out how long she's been listening to the show. But she texted us for the first time after she heard my story about the Great Wolf Lodge. Nice.
Because she is an employee or was employed by the Great Wolf Lodge. Not the same one that I went to, but there's a series of them throughout the country.
Yeah, it's a chain.
Yeah, and she was throwing a bunch of stories out there. And, you know, between me, Astrid, and Christina, who I think interacted with her once or twice. I think interacted with her once or twice. It kind of bubbled up to the top for me, and I was like, oh, yeah, I would like to hear it. I'd like to hear straight from the horse's ass exactly the kind of shenanigans that are going on.
Oh, you know she's got some good stories.
I know she does. So that later on in the show. But first, it's been a minute since we did an Ask TCB. So I thought now was a great time to do an Ask TCB. In the meantime, look at how cute one of my daughters is.
Oh.

Chapter 3: Why are hotel carpets a germaphobe's nightmare?
It's like, you thought the pool was bad?
Oh, the carpets are terrible. Oh, no. A carpet. I said this the second that I walked into that place. It had carpeting, which, in general, in hotel rooms, I have learned... You know, it used to be that when I was a kid and we got to a hotel room, it was the best thing in the world. The smell of chlorine and bleach and the pool. Like, something about a hotel just got all of us brothers so excited.
We loved to stay at a hotel room. We take our shoes off and run around the hotel room like every kid would. But now.
Exactly.
And I'm trying not to pass this germophobia onto my kids. But now when they take their shoes off in a hotel room, I'm kind of like, put your shoes back on. Put a socks on or something. Because I know. Socks. Socks. I know just like every other adult knows that that carpet, if that hotel is more than a year old, has seen all kinds of DNA on it. All kinds of DNA. And I don't want to do with it.
It's a crime scene.
So, it's a crime scene. I bet. I bet. So, was management alerted quickly? Was the situation taken care of quickly? Or did it take some time to figure out what had happened? Or was the security keeping an eye on these boys?
She told me it took her three hours to get it cleaned up completely. To standard standards.
Oh, my God. Your poor coworker. Your poor coworker. These are the people.

Chapter 5: Who are the hosts of The Commercial Break?
It was just no seeing some of the people that were running around in there. One 10 year old boy running around literally with his ass hanging out in the water. I was like, I'm in ass water right now. That's what I'm in. I'm in ass water. I'm in somebody else's asshole water right now. And that kind of skeeved me out a little bit.
Has Great Wolf Lodge ever considered putting that chemical in the pool that turns pee a different color? No. I don't know. That would be a good idea. I don't know.
Is that real or is that a myth?
It's real. You can get that. You can get it at the pool store. But it doesn't work in all circumstances and it has to be at high levels of concentration. You can put it in the pool and it'll stay there for like 30 minutes. But then it eventually gets filled. The chlorine overtakes it and whatever. I don't know. There's some technical shit. Okay. That is a pretty disgusting story.
I'm thoroughly grossed out. I hate pee-pee-poo-poo and I definitely dislike puke. And God bless the people who have... Do you hear me, listener? I don't imagine anybody at TCB who's listening to TCB. I like to think of our listeners as a very pragmatic, common sense, kind people who aren't adding to the drama of the universe.
But if there's one of you out there, or you have little shitheads, you have little yous that are running out there acting like you... Can you please put a cap on the bullshit? Because somebody out there in the universe has to clean up after your little chitlins. And no one wants to clean pee-pee-poo-poo off of the skee-ball machine. No one. But that's somebody's job. That is somebody's job.
Fuck them. We're not making much. Right. I was going to say, God, if there's those situations, you almost need like an instant bonus.
Yeah, I would think so. It always gets me that like the people who do the most amount of work for us in the service industry are the people who are likely to get paid the least. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not complaining because I was a bartender, but bartenders can bring home 100, 200, $300, maybe more in a night, depending on what restaurant you're in.
And we're just talking to hot chicks and making cocktails all night long, right? But the guy who's cleaning – the busboy who's cleaning up all the tables and the bathrooms and all that other stuff is making like 10 percent of our tips, right? It always seemed a little bit – I guess that's just the way of the world. Okay. So tell us – I don't want to go on a tangent, not while you're here, Betty.
