Or better yet, his entire 23andMe ethnicity breakdown tattooed on his arm so he can roll up his sleeve whenever someone questions what he’s allowed to say.Tommy also has some serious complaints about the kid from Angels in the Outfield, arguing that the little foo was way too much of a crybaby. The guys get into Tommy’s unexpected discovery that Cup Noodles with mayonnaise is actually delicious, his confusion over Cup Noodles suddenly being advertised as microwavable, and why Morrissey can’t just perform a concert without showing disturbing animal videos.And of course, they question why wealthy celebrities like Keanu Reeves insist on riding public transportation. Is it genuine humility, or are they trying a little too hard to seem like regular people?From childhood movie criticism to celebrity behavior and everything in between, it’s another episode packed with wild takes, hilarious tangents, and plenty of shit talking.Perfect for the drive, the gym, or whenever you need a good laugh.Connect with Holding It DownInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holdingitdownwith3plates/Our SponsorsSuavecito Pomade: https://www.suavecito.comCervezacito Brewery: https://www.cervezacito.comConnect with Martin RizoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/comicmartinrizo/?hl=enProduced by Ethan Wells
