In this lively episode of The Golden Hour, hosts Brendan Schaub, Erik Griffin, and Chris D'Elia dive into a mix of personal updates, pop culture commentary, and absurd humor. The conversation kicks off with each host sharing new projects: Chris drops his raw, unedited 'B-Side' special on YouTube, Erik reveals his new website and a new comedy hour, and Brendan teases his upcoming show on Tubi, Gearheads Gone Wild. They riff on the absurdity of modern streaming, with a standout moment celebrating Tubi’s 300 million subscribers and its underdog status compared to Netflix. The hosts then pivot to a candid, comedic discussion about hiring nannies, exploring the tension between personal attraction and professional boundaries—using the metaphor of 'activating' and 'joint effort' to highlight the shared responsibility in such situations. They also share bizarre Amazon delivery stories, including a package thrown into the driveway and SD cards that don’t work, before reflecting on how quickly society moves on from major news events like the Charlie Kirk assassination or the Ukraine war. The episode closes with a nostalgic look at limos, a deep dive into the new Netflix show 'Love is Blind' (which they mock for its age-gap absurdity), and a playful, over-the-top bit about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legendary status. Throughout, the tone remains irreverent, self-aware, and deeply bonded, celebrating friendship, creativity, and the chaos of modern life.
Embrace raw, unedited content—Chris’s 'B-Side' special proves authenticity can outshine polish.
Streaming platforms like Tubi are rising fast; don’t underestimate their reach and influence.
When hiring help, maintain professionalism—shared responsibility ('joint effort') is key to avoiding awkwardness.
Society moves on too quickly from major tragedies; stay aware and engaged.
Humor is a powerful tool to process absurdity—whether it’s a nanny’s outfit or a broken SD card.

The Nanny Dilemma: A Joint Effort

Amazon Delivery Chaos & Life’s Absurdities

The Speed of News & Society’s Attention Span
“People still dying in Palestine. People still dying in Ukraine. No one talks about it. Oh, I forgot about the Ukraine war. Yeah, Ukraine. Of course. Ukraine is what made us stop caring about COVID.”
Limos, Limos, and the Death of Luxury
The hosts reminisce about the golden age of limos and how they’ve been replaced by Sprinter vans and Uber Black, symbolizing a shift in how luxury and status are perceived in modern culture.
“If a fly gets in, I'll chase it and come on it. I'll wait till it gets to the window and I'll fucking wait till I'm jerking. I'm jerking and then at the end, I'll run over to the window and just play them with my cum. It's mine!”
“They're mine. You can tell because I got to fuck them and they're going to be cum dripping out of that cat. Mine! How many cats? It doesn't matter. Why are you so dumb? Get 12 cats. There'll be 12 cats with cum in them. Mine! A dozen cummy cats.”
“It's like you pull up to a thing and then your friend jumps out and goes into the liquor store and you're just chilling. You look up, he's robbing the place. He's like, drive! And you're like, what happened? I didn't even...”
