Of WW A-O-G The next episode of the commercial break Starts now Podcasts and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-hosts of this show. Chris and Joy Haudley.

Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Hope everyone's doing okay? Hope everyone survived. Flopageddon? Well, we did here in Atlanta, but...

Oh, yeah, but millions of people. Oh, my God. You're right. I shouldn't. I shouldn't joke because there are a lot of people. Without power, full of ice, full of snow, full of cold, cold weather. Lots of damage.

Yeah, trees down. Yeah. Right now, for me, it's just ice porn. That's what I've been looking at for the last two days. Ice porn. I mean, we did get a good glazing up here. We did. We got a nice glaze, but it all went away within hours.

So it was kind of like, meh. But all night long, all I could hear was that ice falling off the trees and just smashing against the roof. And it really made me very nervous. So I didn't get a lot of sleep on Sunday night. On Sunday night, I did not get a lot of sleep. But I didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday. I have children, so I don't get a lot of sleep in any situation. Fucking kids.

And I'll tell you what. What's that? And can't go outside. Can't go outside. They wanted to, but I said no, because I let blew out the back door on Saturday, on Sunday morning. And she was just sliding from one side of the porch to the other. And so I said, well, I'd go out there and help you, but I'm not going to get hurt. No.

You figure it out, dog. Come back. So anyway, for a lot of us it was just a wet mess, just a cold, cold, wet mess. Yeah, it's still going to be in the 20s, I think, all throughout this week at night. It is freezing cold. That is the line. You know, here's what I love about the weathermen, who for a straight 10 days could not warn us strongly enough about how dangerous this whole situation was going to be. And we need to stock up on this and make sure you have that.

and the power is likely going to go out and you're going to be stuck for days and days without any they painted a scene straight out of a horror movie and now they're back at it again for this weekend they're back at it yeah i watched a i want one of the weathermen put together a whole well now that it's over let's recap what we got right and what we got wrong and he couldn't find he couldn't find anything they got they got right no they found every he got everything right They got everything right. You know, we were right on about the timing. No, you weren't.

It happened to, it happened like, you said it was going to come on Friday. It happened on Sunday morning. Yeah, I know. We were like out stocking up Tuesday. I was at, we were out Monday. We were ordering groceries. I was like, babe, we better get this now because people are going to go crazy by Wednesday since Friday it's going to be a mess. And then I noticed a weird thing happened.

I was looking out my window on Friday evening. There wasn't a fucking car driving. buy my house. Really? For like an hour. It must have, it was really strange. Yeah, it was eerie. It was strange.

Were you just sitting there looking for the entire hour? I was. I told my kids I had to go do some work and I just sat in here and watched that. Meditated. Yeah, meditated. Yeah, I was watching all the drama on the TV. Oh, yeah, yeah. What a fucking mess.

What a fucking mess. God. So I've had some people on Instagram. who have written and said, why don't you address this situation with ICE immigration enforcement in the United States? Because on my personal page, I have a lot of people that are Venezuelan and some that are here, some that are there, some that are spread all out across the world. And I'll address it really simply and really quickly. And then we'll move on with happier topics because we'd like to give you a break, hence the name of the commercial break. But I'll address it quickly.

There is no rational human being, apparently now including Donald Trump, who think that anything that's going on in Minneapolis is good for the United States of America. It is fascism gone crazy. It is very reminiscent of the videos and photos we used to see as children about World War II and the fascist Nazis. And this gentleman, pretty, who was murdered. was murdered. He was murdered. There is no other way to put it by a bunch of reckless, untrained, boot-licking stormtroopers. That's all it is with their faces covered.

And they ran away from the scene, as they did in the last incident. They ran away from the scene, at least in this incident, somebody tried to do something where I saw some officers above him trying to do something. But they disarmed him, then they shot him. And that is crazy. That is just insane. And you can't make justifications for it. There are no justifications. Whether you like guns or don't like guns, it's in our Constitution, you're allowed to carry them. And he was legally carrying a gun, but he was never brandishing it. Never. Not once in that any of the videos that I saw. No, he had his phone in his hand. Yes. This is a fucking hot mess and it needs to get solved quickly or there will be a dark nightmare, a dark cloud that falls across the United States. It's already halfway over the United States. And it's certainly in Minneapolis. Minneapolis. And the president needs to stand down. And the Republicans, some of them, I give them credit, are finally saying something. Too little, too late, in my opinion.

But here we are. And this is a bridge too far. This man will be remembered as the turning point, I think, in a very dark chapter in American history. Get the criminals, the violent criminals off our streets. No one's going to disagree with that. But this power is unchecked and it's dangerous. And fuck it. And fuck the people who agree with.

this. That's it. That's all I got to say. There's no other way to put it. It is a dark nightmare that needs to end. Everyone needs to stand down. Stand down. Take ice out of Minneapolis, out of Maine, out of Chicago, out of Los Angeles, and put trained police officers in the streets where they belong, you know, I've never had so much appreciation for a trained police officer as I do now. That's true. Because I was watching, like, on YouTube, it serves me up all these videos, you know, based on my history or whatever. And I got like 12 different Gmail accounts for the... You do. I do. I had so many Gmail accounts. But I was logged into one. And a number of years ago, I got into like watching videos about people getting arrested for this or that, you know,

whatever. And it when I was watching, so it was popping these videos back up over the weekend, and it made me appreciate a trained police officer who was trained to de-escalate and look for situations. And I even watched a couple of videos where the perpetrator had to be a trained. And I, a gun on him and never once did the officer take out his gun. He disarmed the perpetrator professionally. That's what he did because that's what they're trained to do. So these guys are just untrained, jackbooted thugs and that's it. And I mean, the masks. I mean, I just, it's scary. It's really scary. It's meant to be scary. It's meant to instill fear in the normal citizen so that they don't speak out, so they don't protest, so they don't help like Preeti was doing.

That's what he was doing. He was helping a woman. He was picking her up off the ground after the ICE officer pushed her down on the ground and he lost his life. And he was a fucking nurse and a veteran's home. God damn, dude. Really, honestly. I mean, we're losing good people now because of this, you know?

Not only are they're filling the streets with the bad people. The criminals are the ones with the masks on and ice enforcement. Badges, those are the bad people. Make no mistake about it. They mean harm. That's what they want to do. That is their mission. And it needs to stop. And I hope it does. And I hope no matter what side of the aisle that you're on, you can agree with this one. I think so. I don't know. You know, I go on that fucking X every once in a while. I can't even get on there. Yeah, I think it's mostly bots created by Elon. I really do. I'm convinced of that to charge people up and to talk about it. But I will say. this. There are a lot of people who are excuse making saying you don't bring a gun to a protest. You don't bring a gun to a protest? You mean like January 6th? Like all those people that went to a protest? Legally carrying their firearms? Is that? I mean, it's just, it's unbelievable how some people will twist and turn just to suck the dick of their dear leader. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Anyway, okay, all right, enough. Brian said it. Okay, there, I addressed it. But I'm not going to do it on my Instagram page because I talk about Venezuela. That's right. That's right.

You're Venezuelan. That's my place. I'm Venezuela now. It's crazy. It's crazy how people just go crazy about the content that I create. And it's so dumb. It's just so dumb. But people love it.

And I get excited. I'm like, oh, okay. So I said to Astrid, hey, Astrid, she won't be on camera, though. Like, people are asking. They're like, where's your wife? Like, get her on camera. She won't go on camera. So I said,

You should have like a picture of her, like on a stick, you know? Oh, that's not a bad idea. That is not a bad idea. I will even have to get permission from her to do that too. Of course, of course, but that could be a little bridge. It could be a little bridge. We could do that. I put a picture up of her once, but it was the only authorized picture I have of Astrid.

I only have one. Every person that's married to a woman who is a reluctant photo taker. will know that you have to get direct express permission to put photographs of your loved one online. Absolutely. But to be fair and unfair, I also hate every photograph that I take. Meanwhile, I see a ton of them that you guys take. We take all kinds of photos, but we don't put them up online. I mean, Aster does, but her account's private.

She's got a couple hundred people that follow her. Excuse me. We take a ton of photographs. I don't like any of them, but Astrid will post them regardless of whether or I like them. But when it's Astrid's turn, I am not allowed at all to pose photographs unless I get her express written. I have to get a release form from my own wife. So I have one picture that I know from like six years ago that I know is approved. And so I put it up, people went crazy.

So anyway, so I don't have any, so she won't come on camera, even though people are asking. And I said, okay, I've got an idea for a reel. I want, you have these like crazy sayings in Venezuelan, in Spanish in Venezuela, like throwing the dog or it was crowded than grandma gave birth. Like there are, in English. Okay, I'll explain. All right. You can go watch the real, but I'll explain.

Throwing the dog means that you are hunting someone. You are like flirting with them. You're after them, right? And you're flirting with them hard and you're trying to. Hunting the dog. No, throwing the dog. Throwing the dog. Which makes no sense whatsoever, but that's what it means.

Okay. So I have this idea. I said, give me some things that you say in Spanish that I can repeat to the audience in English and then we'll have a little fun with it. And then I throw in a punchline or whatever. Yeah. And so we sat here for like 10 or 15 minutes and she said it. But I had to put a microphone on her, but she sat in your chair and she refused to be filmed. So I had to keep the camera right here while she was.

was talking and I was responding to some strange human being. So throwing the dog means to hunt someone to be after them. Okay. There was another one. You're chasing them? Like it's in a romantic way? Yes. Okay.

Yeah, sexual way. Not actual. No, you're not hunting doggy style. Right. Hunger games. You're not hunting doggy style. Right, right. Right.

Okay. The next one was leaving. leaving the hair, leave the hair, which means to, like, when someone leaves you high and dry, they leave the hair, right? Oh, they left the hair. It's like, it's such a weird fucking thing to say. They left you like in a lurch. Yeah, they left you in a lurch. They left you high and dry. They took off without, you know, helping or whatever. You know, I guess it can be used in multiple different situations. But the other one is. Well is the grandma on the crown. Yeah, okay, ready? This is the one. This is the one.

And this has got people just going online right now because, you know, I hit a nerve, like in a good nerve, but a nerve. Now people are giving me all kinds of phrases that they use that are just strange. A lot of stuff about the cullo, which is your butthole. A lot of cullo's, a lot of sayings with cula. Coolos. Yeah. But the one that got everybody going, and I think even in English, is very strange, is there are many people, but grandma gave birth. is how you would translate it in English generally.

There are many people, but grandma gave birth. It means we were in trouble before, but now it's a real problem. Oh, no. Oh, okay. Well, yeah, if grandma's given birth. Yeah, that's what I said in the real. I go, poor grandma. Yeah.

If grandma gives birth, we are definitely in trouble. Why is grandma? Why is grandma? Why grandma? You say there's a lot of people and someone gave birth. But no, they have to say grandma gave birth, which is a hell of a thing. And then there was to get run over by the ice cream push cart, not the ice cream truck, but the push cart. The push cart.

Yeah, you know, one of those like a street cart. What is that King of Pops shit that they have all over the place, King of Pops? And that means that you're too smart for your own good. You got run over by the push cart. Which makes no sense to me either. I know. You got run over by a very slow push cart. Full of delicious ice cream.

Makes no sense. But whatever's clever, I guess. Yeah. So anyway, so I had to bring Astrid in here and convince her that her voice should be online. And she reluctantly did it. And it just people just go crazy over it. It's like, wow. It's not that easy to make people go crazy here at the commercial break.

I wish they did it. I know. I mean, some people go crazy. They go crazy on the phone line. I didn't even check the phone over the weekend. I was like, I don't, I just want to leave it. I thought about going live on Sunday night. Like, just turn it on, go live, talk to some people.

But then I was afraid nobody was going to show up and I'd be talking to myself. And I don't like to do that. I don't like to be here without you. It's like talking to myself, eh. I thought sometimes, I think sometimes about going live on Instagram too. But then it's like, do I really want to talk to myself about myself? You know what I'm saying? To do myself.

About myself. Yeah. Like, hey, Brian, how are you? Good. Hey, Brian. How are you? Great job on your Instagram lately. Let's review the videos on your Instagram together.

You and me and me and you. You can do a comment on your own. Yeah, comments on my own videos. That's right. And then I'm like, well, I could go live, but my Spanish, I have to have time to translate the Spanish, meaning it's got to go slow. So if I really get like, you know, 50, 60 people on there and a couple of them are speaking really rapid Spanish, I will not be able to keep up. And I'm just going to sound dumb. Essentially, the wizard, the curtain's going to come down from the wizard, right?

You can't do that. Oh, so talking all about Venezuela, but you can't keep up in Spanish. Got it. When it's comments, I have time. I can read it. If there's a word, I don't know, I ask Astrid or I put it in translate and I go, oh, okay. Yeah, don't drop the curtain. I'm not going to drop the curtain.

No, no one wants to see how the sausage is made. Really, no one wants to see how the sausage is made. It's actually not here. And then I managed to get through. I haven't started, have you started? The pit? The pit yet. No, we almost did last night, but I think I might wait until tonight.

Okay. Because it comes out on Thursdays, right? It comes out on Thursday. I was even thinking about waiting until Thursday. Yeah, I'm going to wait until Thursday. So we haven't started any of it yet. Okay, good. I didn't know if we needed to do.

talk about it night. What I did start and what I've been watching in pieces is the movie Sinners. Oh, it's so good. Oh, you know, on our ice storm break, Sinners was nominated for more Academy Award nominations than any movie in history. Is that right? Yeah, I think so. I think that's what it said on TMZ or something like that. And like 18 of them. And that's a lot. Now I'm about halfway through the movie, little more than halfway through the movie. I know the writer and director is known for his horror movies mainly. And I can see where this is going. I can see where it was going.

But I will have to say that Michael B. Jordan, who's in the movie, is already excellent playing both sides of the twin brothers. Yeah. I guess the antagonist or protagonists in the movie. Already doing a great job. And the movie is something, you know, I'm not a big period movie kind of guy, like period time, you know, the go back in time and watch a movie about, you know, early 1930s Mississippi. Like that's not necessarily my thing. I would rather watch something that's a little bit more modern or you got to put me in the right mind frame.

And he has put me in the right mind frame. The music's great in it. It's Delta Blues, Mississippi. or they don't they I think they's kind of they allude to there in Mississippi right but they're definitely on the Delta yeah this sharecropper time uh and the the music is so fucking excellent and the way that he twists in popular music pop music and music from like you know caveman days all the way through now even though you're stuck in this one time period in the movie like Jimmy Hendricks shows up essentially right run DMC shows up essentially not them actually but like a representation of them shows up in the way that he weaves this in is brilliant filmmaking brilliant filmmaking Jeff's friend is the one who did all the music what yeah boo Mitchell well good job boo yeah he's from Memphis they had he's boo on you boo yeah good job boo okay

And so Boo put the music together? Yep. He did the score? He did. Or he picked the songs. Yeah, I mean, I'd have to go back at the scene. He's like the music director. He was in charge of the music.

Okay, so he's the music director. So he like pulls together all the pieces and weaves it into the story. Wow. Good for him. Yeah. Yeah, really brilliantly done. Have you seen sinners? Yes.

Yeah, you have? Yeah, I want to watch it again. Okay, don't tell me what happens. There are parts are a little slow for my taste, but it keeps you bouncing along. It drives me fucking crazy that I have to watch. a goddamn movie in seven parts around this. I know I was going to say, why are you watching in pieces? But I know that.

Yeah, you know the answer. It's the fucking kids. You know, I don't have any time except for the last hour of the day before I go to sleep. And by the time I lay in bed, I am so exhausted. I know I'm not going to make it through. So I watch until my attention span starts to fade. Then I press pause. And I say, okay, watch the West Wing and then go to sleep.

Exactly. Yeah. I mean, I've been in the same episode of the West Wing for three weeks. We did the same thing with Seinfeld. Same episode. I just keep restarting it. I'm like, I'll get through it tonight. And I never get through it.

Those are 30 minutes. So for us, so it's usually that we like get through half of it. Yeah. You know, almost all of it. And then pick back up again next time. That's it. I'm sure a lot of people play it. That's the game that a lot of people play is that, you know, you have your stuff that you want to watch, stuff that you're interested.

You pay attention to. Right. And then you have your night night juice. Yes. Right. Your baba. Your binky. Your binky TV.

You do have the. Binky TV. You've got your binky TV. I've got TV for all kinds of different situations, too. I was thinking about the other day because I wanted to go up and do some work like in my little office area upstairs. And I wanted to have something in the background, but I didn't want to have to pay attention to it. Made me think of you with the 5,000 pound twins or whatever. Two thousand pound sisters. Yeah. Or my little Johnsons, whatever. You get the TLC stuff. My stuff is usually like the peacock stuff. the Bravo stuff. No, that's Binky TV, too.

That's Baba Binky TV. That's what that is. That's why my Sleepy Time TV. Sleepy Time TV is different. It is. Yeah. Like, 1,000 pound sisters, not for sleepy TV. No.

That's for, I'm working. Right. Something on the background. Tune in every like 10 minutes and go, oh, there's the plot point. Yeah. Okay, move on to the next, right? Oh, she lost another 10 pounds. Oh, she gained another 10 pounds.

You know, that kind of stuff. And then it's very formulaic TV. So you know, like Seven Little Johnsons, I've said this before. It's the, it's the, it's, same fucking thing every episode. Some family drama, some game they're going to play that's clearly set up just for the cameras, some niceties, you know, someone got married, someone got an A, someone, you know, has a girlfriend, whatever, and then end with some cliffhanging drama that you're going to find out the next week, right? That's how it goes. That's formulaic reality TV.

And so that is my, I don't know what to call, it, it's like my Adderall, right? I keep it on and my gears can switch back and forth. But then there's Baba Binky Time, and Baba Binky Time is a show I know so well that my brain needs not tune into it. I can recite some episodes of the West Wing. I can recite some episodes of Kath and Kim. I can recite some episodes of Mr. D.

I can recite episodes of certain shows that I've just watched so much, and I enjoy it so much that it puts me in a place where my mind isn't racing about the 70, million fucking things that are wrong with my life. I agree. Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday, everybody.

Happy Tuesday, everybody. I'm just bummed out that we didn't have an actual ice storm. Nothing happened. I was actually, I wasn't bummed that we didn't lose power and, you know, trees crashing through people's houses and all that stuff. You wanted some snap. I wanted just like a little additional drama, making all of the effort that we went. through worth it, right? Like two days of kind of really being stuck in the house. There's ice

outside. We can't go outside. You know, we step outside. We're going to slide and kill ourselves. But that only happened for like two hours. That was it. Two hours on Sunday morning and then the rest was just bullshit. Bullshit. But I think we count ourselves lucky. Like BT, our super fan BT. Oh, yeah. He's without power still. Oh, he is? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean. They've got a gas fireplace and so they're able to do that. I've decided I'm going to buy a portable generator, but in the spring. Like everyone else is a buying one. If you really want a portable generator at a time when it's the cheapest buy it in the summer.

Summer. Portable generators in spring. But what about summer camping? I thought people might use it for camping in the summer. But whatever. I don't know. My father-in-law told me the summer. When it's not two days before the ice storm, that's when I'm going to buy it.

No. And that's why you don't buy it in spring because there's always the threat of severe weather in Georgia in the spring. tornadoes and thunderstorms and stuff. People's power goes out. Okay. I'm going to chat. I'm going to chatty. JETT. All that. Yeah. And if you need to help, are you getting like an actual generator or a portable generator? The portable. Not when you put on the house. Okay. Because if you're going to get one, you're going to put on the house permanent. I have friends. We can talk. You know, because that's like a thing. You got to do a thing. You've got to have wires and electricians. Oh, yeah. You can't just like, whoop-wop.

They're like 10 grand too. Oh, they're terribly expensive. But more and more people are buying them because, you know, I think we all realize. that, you know. Well, with the climate change, for sure, there's all the severe weather, more extreme weather that's happening. Here we are in Georgia. It's 19 degrees outside. It's like the high today. 19 degrees. Yeah. Yeah, not good. Anyway, let me find the commercials here. Anyway, lots more to talk about. Thanks for joining us. Give us a few minutes. We'll be back. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken. Taking over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple.

Hours of fun. Yes. I'll sell my kids over the weekend. Because they rely on you for everything. You know, I think Danny, play with me. Play with you. I bought you 70 million toys. I know.

You got seven TVs, two iPads and a partridge in a pear tree. The fuck do you want for me? You got a gymnastics bar and a, toy story thing and a million puzzles and blocks and all this shit, Legos, I don't even know. I don't even know what's in the, the house is literally filled with junk that's mainly for you to play with. So why do I now have to be the, what the problem is. Entertainment. Yeah, like Astrid said, the problem is you brought this on yourself. And I said, how did I bring this on myself? And she said, because anytime they come to you,

you decide, you say yes, anytime they come to you. You know, the gymnastics daughter wants to do flips all, around your head, you say yes, and then you complain that your back hurts. You know, your kid wants to sit with you and go through the history of Disney world. You go through the history of Disney world with them because you say yes, you know. Little one wants to, you know, play school. All weekend, I was the teacher, you know. Oh, you are? You're the teacher.

Daddy, you're the teacher. I'm the student. I'm the students. And you have a baby and you need to go peepee, change the diaper. Now it's time to go to lunch. I'm putting on makeup. I'm doing a whole thing. I got a whole routine that's going on.

But to me, I'm like, okay, that's why the kids love me. Like, mom serves one role, dad serves the other one, which is mainly to fuck off. Right. I mainly fuck off. Teach them lessons in life. You know, don't snort to green cocaine, right? You know, I mean, that's like lessons. I teach the kids.

Practical. Practical. But all the sudden now, I got to be, like, all weekend, we have to entertain the kids from everything. And they're moving from one room to the next, just making. a mess. That's it. Swirling around.

Yes. Little whirling dervishes. Whirling dervishes. Yes. Bowling the china shop, as my mom would say. They bring all the toys into one room, plop them down, throw them on the floor, mess up the beds. You know, lampshades are this way. They close the blinds, turn off the lights, you know, lock the doors, hide under the bed. You know, they're doing this whole routine.

And I said, so finally, I got irritated. I'm like, that's it. You got to clean up your mess. Yes. And my kids are at the age right now where we're learning these lessons. and they spend days like this. I'm cleaning up. I'm so tired.

I don't feel good. My leg hurts. I didn't mess it up. You messed it up. Why can't you help me? Days doing this when it takes exactly seven minutes to clean it up. You know what I'm saying? They spend the whole day on the floor,

pounding their fists and kicking their feet. And I don't want to do it. And I didn't mess it up. and fucking clean it up in seven seconds. And then finally I go, finally I just like draw the line. I'm like, no TVs, no iPads, no more fun, no more daddy playing with you until this room is cleaned up. And I'm taking away that iPad for, I'm taking away the TV for a week. Five, four, three, two, and then all of a sudden they're running around cleaning up.

Yeah. Okay. So they're running around cleaning up. And it takes exactly seven minutes and it's all clean. And I'm like, we spend three days talking about cleaning up and seven minutes cleaning up. Why did we do that? But they don't get it. They're just kids.

No, I know. They won't get it until they maybe are out of college. Yeah, they're, yeah. Honestly. You know. Until no one else is there to clean it up. That's when. That's it.

I mean, yeah. I keep on telling them, your mom and me, but mainly your mom, it's not her responsibility to clean up after you four times a day, but that's what they're doing. Finally, after, like, by day number two, they, like, started playing on their own. They all were playing together, like, just running around the house. There's enough of them to play together. There is. I know. And so Astor, and so Astor was like, oh, my God, they're making a mess. I said, hey, listen, they're playing on their own. Just leave them be, let them make the mess. At least they're doing it on their own. Yes. Let that be the less.

into all of us. If we weren't here, they'd be fine. The house would be a mess, but they'd be fine. They wouldn't eat anything of substance, but they'd be fine. Smarties. That's right. I was interested to see that Kanye West over the weekend put out a very long apology letter explaining his situation.

And that is that, you know, Kanye has always had a weird jaw. As a matter of fact, I think for the first like two years of his, like, that public life, his jaw was wired shut, wasn't it? Or something like that? I don't know. He's got a weird mouth. You can just tell. It's puffy. His teeth are weird. I mean, they're straight, but his overbite is weird. And that's because he got into a terrible, was he shot or was there an accident? No, it was an accident. Yeah, car accident. I was reading this, yeah, the other day. Oh, car accident. I'm sorry. He was in a car accident, broke his jaw. And brain damage. Brain damage. Yeah, well, we all knew that because he's just been weird.

It seemed obvious, yeah. Yeah, he's been saying something was off. Outlandish shit, dressing up like a Nazi, like just doing weird shit. Like, almost publicly trying to tank his career or as I had assumed at times trolling the world. Like just saying weird shit just to get a reaction because he's so followed. Everybody watches his every move. He just decided, fuck you, I'm just going to do what I want to do. Well, he wrote this big long. apology letter. Yeah, he took out an ad, right, in the Washington Post? Yes, yes. And it was a very long letter. And it just kind of explained that, you know, he's got real mental health issues and they're not always under control.

And he's just been going through a period, I mean, a long period, like three fucking years. Oh, yeah. He's been doing this whole song and dance, just being a big troll. Now, I say that, why do I say this? Because I really don't give a shit about Kanye West. I've never been, like, the world's biggest fan of his music, though I can see that he's talented musician. It's not my cup of tea. Kanye isn't. But I also notice that, I've noticed a general softening of the tone, a general flipping of the tone on a lot of people who were

rooting for the election of Donald Trump, for celebrities mainly. And now the backtracking of these people, including some of the most hardcore podcaster, right-wing podcasters, now trying to kind of like flip the script a little bit, especially after this whole Minneapolis thing happened over the weekend, Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn had on Bernie Sanders. Oh, wow. He had on Bernie Sanders. And he said, and he mentioned that he liked what Mondani is doing in New York.

He liked Moana, like Rocana, some of these like more really progressive. And Theo Vaughn mentioned, I'm learning as I go, and I'm starting to learn that I like what these people are saying. I think they have a point. I think you have a point, Bernie Sanders. Now, I'm not like, you know, that's not, that's not my opinion. That's what I'm saying. Theo Vaughn said. I will share this that, you know, when you're in the public life and, you know, you put down this stuff on celluloid and it gets like hard-coated into the universe and then you have to make some big, you know, Maya Copa. That must be incredibly difficult. It must be incredibly difficult. Yeah, I would think so, but needed. But needed. And so I hear like online and on news programs, all this stuff is being mentioned, how Rogan is now pushing it back against immigration enforcement, how Theo has kind of changed his tune altogether.

I mean, really all together. He has like flipped the script 180 degrees. You know, Kanye's coming out and said, I was an idiot. You know, this guy in Minneapolis or the guy was running for governor of Minnesota came out. yesterday with a long video saying I can't in good conscience run as a Republican because when my daughters look back on this, I don't want them to think I was on the wrong side of history and I don't want to be on the wrong side of history. You know, all these people coming out. And then I hear like there's a lot of people pushing back on this or like, oh, you should have too little too late.

I agree, too little too late. But I also think, you know. Well, better late than never. Better late than never. Yeah. Better late than never. What I am waiting for, me personally, is Gwen Stefani to come out and apologize. I want Gwen to come out and apologize. Oh, God. What did she do? Nah, she's just an idiot. I think she's like a born-again Christian now. I think she is, too. Isn't she? Like her and who's that guy Blake Shelton? Yeah. Yeah, aren't they like born-again Christians? Like rabble-rous Christians? I do remember reading something about her and he probably is too. I guess they're married, right? They did actually get married. Yeah, they did get married. Yeah. Yeah, they slept with, they cheated on their spouses. And, you know, then became

Born Again Christians. Makes sense. Follow the road. I was watching some old no doubt videos, like old no doubt videos. Like public access TV, no doubt videos. And they were, besides her, they were absolutely terrible. And I remember, they were SCA, like, you know, straight up SCA. And with the horn section and everything, you know.

Uh-huh. And I remember for a brief period of time that 33 penis did some ska ourselves. Oh, you did. We did. And I would scat on top of the ska. Nice. We had a song called Skaw bitch. You're being hard to.

Yeah. It would start off like slow, like Rocky. It was like, scah, bitch. And then it would go into the scoff. Oh, my God. Scab bitch. I can't believe it didn't take all. It didn't.

There was this one girl in our school, in our high school, and she was straight scot, right? And everybody was afraid of her. And let's just be honest. Like, no one knew what Scott was. So we were all kind of scared of whatever it was. Excuse me. This damn cough Oh, no.

It's just lengthy. Will not go away. And sometimes, like, for an hour or two during the day, I feel like I have a bad cold. You know, like right now, like achy, miserable. So I hope I'm giving it to you. Good. Yeah, thanks. You're welcome.

Stuck in this studio with all the particles flying around. I probably have measles. Oh, God. No. You got vaccinated. So this girl would, you know, she was a walk around school with a, or, you know, ska stuff and her plaid and all this crazy crap. And so we wrote a song, not to be pejorative scobitch, like, but, you know, like a, almost like a, I guess kind of like a bad bitch.

Like a scobitch was a bad bitch, right? A girl who was like, you know, a badass in our school. So we wrote this song called Scobitch. And so then we play the song called Scobitch at one of our two appearances. Yeah. And someone came up afterwards and was like, you shouldn't do that song. And I'm like, why? Part of the, one of the four songs we have.

And the originals. Oh, yeah, originals. The rest is just cover songs and they aren't that good. Well, it's kind of offensive to call a woman a bitch. I remember this guy said it. I think this is when we went and played the actual, like, you know, rec room. And this guy was like, oh, it's kind of offensive to call a woman a bitch. And I was like, what?

Really? Is it? was learning as, you know, I'm a young kid, 15 years old. And I was like, oh, okay. So I asked the girl that I was dating at the time. I said, is scobitch an offensive song? And she was like, extremely offensive. And I was like, okay, I guess we'll take scovitch. We'll take it on the rotation. And she goes, but I think what's more offensive than the actual words of scabitch is the song scobitch, because it just sounds bad. The actual song. Yeah, it's a mix of ska and grunge rock that doesn't really live in a world that I understand.

Yeah. Yeah. So I let it go. I let Skobbage go. But I was watching those old Gwen Stefani videos. And I was like, first of all, she was a baby when they started off, 16, 17 years old. Second of all, it was terrible. I mean, it sounded like music, but it was just bad music, you know?

They really refined their... They were big in the 90s. My God. Wow. Yeah, I'm just a girl. I mean, you couldn't get away from that song. And she just was a badass. You were like, wow, that girl is a badass.

God bitch. Really a badass girl. Yes. Yeah. And then I don't know what happened. But I mean, you know, I guess a no doubt couldn't go on forever. No, it was no doubt, but then she went on her own, you know. And then.

They got back together. They did a reunion tour. They did do the reunion tour. Yeah. And wasn't her brother in the band? Her brother was in the band. He was like the guitarist, wasn't he? I think so.

I think he was, too. He was a guitarist. And then she dated the basest, the Filipino guy that was, I think he was Filipino, the guy that was in the bassist, they were in item for a little bit when she was younger. And so then she broke off on her own and she had a string of other really big his. Huge. Yeah. It was her Harzuku face. Yeah.

Yeah, which then became offensive to a lot of people, I guess. I don't know. And then she. She went on the voice. Shelton and became a Christian. Yeah, then she went on the voice. She married Blake Shelton and became a born-again Christian. Well, I guess her either she was married to what Gavin.

Newsom. No. Gavin Rosdale. Rossdale. Gavin Newsom. Yeah. Now with Bush. Yeah.

He was the front of him from Bush. There was a big dusting up. I guess he had an affair and then sit. They had three kids together, I think. Yeah, they did. He dated the nanny, didn't he? Something like that. Yeah.

nanny. Yeah, it's always the nanny. She left and then got on the voice and then met Blake Shelton. Yeah. Astrid won't allow a babysitter under the age of 45 in the house. Yeah. She's always said it, by the way, even before we had children, she's like, just want you to know, no, no way are we getting some 21-year-old foreign exchange student to be our nanny. Yeah, an au pair is, oh no. O'Hare, oh no. Oh, no to O'Pair. That is not happening. And I was like, I didn't even. think I this is like, you know, a week after we met. And I was like, what? Why so sensitive? And she's like, everybody in Venezuela has an opair. And it's always the reason for the divorce. Yeah. She's like, it's always the reason for the divorce. And fair enough, you know, hey, listen. Yeah. That's the way it goes. And, oh, there was one more thing that I wanted to say. Bush was another band that for 12 seconds took over the world. Oh, I remember loving that one. song. What was that? Everything's in. Yeah.

It's so moody. Yeah. He was moody. It was moody. They couldn't follow it up with a, you know, a strong second song, let alone second album. But, you know, you gave them credit for in that moment. They hit the zeitgeist because people were sick of, they were sick of Pearl Jam.

They were sick of, you know, Allison Chains. They were sick of Soundgarden. That lasted for like three years. and then came Bush. And this was like right before new metal started. Yeah. You know, Fred Durst came on the scene and stuff like Kid Rock and all that bullshit. Yeah, Limbiscuit.

Don't get me started. Not that anything against Fred Durst. That's just crappy music, though. It just is. And I know there's a lot of people that are into new metal. I'm just not into new metal. Whatever. Anyway, there's this weird in between.

You're into Skob bitch. I'm into Skob bitch. Scobitch. I don't know how I didn't see that was offensive in the first. But listen, you know, we were kids. I'm trying to run from my history, okay? Yes, I have scobitch in my background. Face it.

You're facing it. I'm facing it. Head on. There's probably not one recording of scobage. But if there is, yes, it was me, and I'm sorry. Okay, there we go. Bush hit the middle. They hit the...

They did. They were big for, what, a year? They hit the MTV clitoris. Right there. I mean, they just hit that buzz button. And for a year, you could not get away from that song. And I remember that for MTV Spring Break, they went down and they played Club La Vila in Panama City. Club La Vela spent some time there.

Oh, man, did I too? Over by that pool, desperately trying not to look like an idiot, trying to get with my Janko jeans. That pool was huge, too. And they had four levels. Oh, man, that place was huge. And they checked your ID like they were blind, dumb, and death. They were like, what? That's what I found.

That's where I found my fake ID. It was in the bathroom at the Club La Vila. You just grabbed it? Well, it was laying on the counter. Nobody was around, and I looked, and I was like, well, she kind of looks like me. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah.

Yeah, wow. I grabbed it. I told you that one time I went down to Panama City. One time my dad let me go to spring break, and we went down to Panama City. We couldn't find a hotel, so we were 20 miles away from Panama City inland at a holiday inn, and we drove into town. And we got kicked out of one part. Remember I got kicked out of the hotel party. People were like, who are you?

I was like, I'm the guy. Somebody told the party was here. But we got in the club La Vila by just literally walking in. Like we had our driver's license. We just went like this. Yeah, just flashed it. Yeah, we just flashed it. They didn't even give a shit.

It was 90s. No one cared. And we went in and we tried not to look like idiots for about 45 minutes. And then we left because it was clear that we were idiots. And no one cared about us. We had no friends there. We knew no girls. We had no game.

We talked to nobody. I think I'd lit up a cigarette. And some girl was like, gross. I was like, okay. And everybody smoked back. Everybody did smoke. So I wasn't sure if she was thinking the cigarette was gross or I was gross, but one way or the other.

She made it known. It was time for me to go. Anyway, Bush played club La Vila. And I remember thinking, oh, wow, I've been to club. But, like, you know, you have the connection. You're like, wow, I've been there. Pouring down rain. And he's out there with his electric guitar doing that.

Everybody's then. Actually, go on YouTube. It's there. You can go. It's a great version of that song. But that's the only song that Bush ever did that anyone gave a shit about. Or maybe he had one or two others. There was one or two others, I think, mixed in there on that same album.

Yeah, on that same album. Yeah. But Gavin Rosdale continues to be a handsome man. He is. He got the maid, the nanny. Yeah, who knows if they're still together, but. No, of course. It never works out like that.

That's the thing about cheating. It never works out. It never works out that all this, you know, you think, I mean, okay, on occasion, for Gwen and Blake it did, but Gavin struck first. They weren't together. I mean, they weren't with their people. Oh, I thought they were. No, she already left Gavin. Oh.

He was single, too. Yeah, sorry, Gwen. Sorry, I'm too. Sorry about all of it. And now you're born-again Christian? Not there's anything against being Christian, but born-again Christian, like that hardcore Bible-beating kind of bullshit? I don't know.

I don't know. You know, same thing happened with what's that Russell Brand. He's a Bible-beaten Christian. Is he? Yeah. But he's a real fucking moron. That guy. The less we see of him, the better.

Yes, I agree. We'll take a break. We'll be back. Hey, it's Rachel, your new voice of God here on TCB. And just like you, I'm wondering, just how much longer this podcast can continue. Let's all rejoice that another episode has made it to your ears, and I'll rejoice that my check is in the mail.

Like the classic, let's see, is this it? Maybe this is it. Not something sad out. What is this? This is you guys? I am that kind of girl. Patty Loveless, 967, The Legend. It's another late night.

Thanks for being with us. Here is Conway Twitty. This is an hour of Brian talking in and out of classic country songs. You want to just round out the show with this. There's G. Shepherd for you. Only one you. Yes, there is. Only one me.

Thank you very much. All right. Here's some Michael Martin Murphy while they give you the weather. Tomorrow, same situation as today. It's going to be hot, and then there's going to be a chance of thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Saturday, it looks like it's going to be stormy all day long. What are you doing the weather? Wow.

Thanks for the weekend. That's so embarrassing. I don't know why I put that in there. Did we do that one time? I guess we did it one time, didn't it? I guess we did, yeah. Our farts are wonderful things. You need a little key.

I do need a little key. I can't. I thought I had, no, I guess I don't. I thought I had some 33 penis in there, but I guess I don't have any 33 penis in there. I'll put it in there for the next year. Please do. We need to have some of that on standby just in case, you know, one of us falls over during the show. We need some extra back on.

I need to play us out with some 33 penis. Live from Shady Oaks Retirement. Yeah, that's for sure. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, 33P. Yeah, that's me talking in and out of 967, The Legend. A legend.

I'm on this app called... I remember driving the Legend van. Oh. I mean, if you're new to the show, then you will not have heard this. By the way, this restream makes us look like we have been a sunning in Mexico for a week. Yeah, it looks terrible. I mean, or good, depending on how you like it. That's not our natural skin color if you're watching on YouTube. Well, I'm assuming with all the ice, you didn't get back to go see James at the gym. No, no, no, no, no, the gym was closed on Sunday and Monday, but I'll get back there this week. I'll let you know. Please do. But I do remember, I mean, 967 The Legend, W. WLG, 967 The Legend. For those of you who have not been around that long, the small stick is what it was referred to in the building. Because it was a really small stick.

It was basically like a toy radio that you would buy at Radio Shack. And they put it on a stick somewhere down in South Georgia. And they would broadcast classic country through it. And I don't even know how this station survived. I think it made like $4,000 a month. We were always throwing it in. Yeah, you just threw it in for free. When you sold the big stick, which was the bowl, which you could probably be here in

Carolina, some parts of South Carolina, because how radio works is it's essentially a transistor and you turn the power up or you turn it down, the government gives you a license and tells you how tall it is and how powerful it is, and the government tells you how far you can run the signal, essentially, how much you can turn it up. And WWLG, which is still in existence today, now it's a Mexican country. Now it's a Mexican country station. Basically had like four watts, four watts. It couldn't have even power to light bulb, that thing. And so there was about six or seven people in South Atlanta that could listen to the station. You might be able to crackle it in South, you know, in South Atlanta on a cloudy night. But that's how I got on the radio is that I convinced

the program director of like the whole company to like, you know, hey, put in, he said, yeah, go do WWLG. No one listens to that. Yeah. Yeah. And now you can hear why because of my incredible talking in and talking out skills. But he did give you a shot. He did give me a shot. And I remember taking this very seriously. And because no one else in the building wanted anything to do with WWLG, any time there was anything to do.

Like when the oil and lube down near the racetrack wanted to have a remote, but they couldn't afford 94-9 the bowl, the salespeople. said, hey, get the legend. That's perfect. It broadcasts right over the racetrack down there. That's the only place that can get the legend. Go down there. And they excitedly sent me an email. Hey, got a remote for you if you want to do it in appearance. And I was like, somebody wants me to do an appearance? I might have sold that. You probably did. And probably because I was on the legend. Yes. You were looking out for me.

And so I think I got 300 bucks or 400 bucks or whatever it was. Yeah, you get a little extra boost. Yeah, you get a little extra cash. And I remember it was me and Cam, and we woke up on a Saturday morning at like 5.30 in the morning. And we went to the station and picked up the legend van. Yeah, we were trying. It was like a cargo van that had been wrapped with the legend on the side of it. Oh, it was terrible.

Yeah, it had like. It was. And so Cam and I are riding around Atlanta in the 967 legend van that had no seatbelts or anything in the... No. I rode in it too. Christy and I went down there. We took it down to South Georgia to go try and make some sales. This was a murder bus is what it was.

There was no windows. Yeah. Except for the two up front. There was no windows, no seatbelts. It was just those two seats that bounce a lot every time you hit something. And then sheds. There were no shocks. No.

No hangers, no shelves, no nothing, just a big empty van. We threw a banner back there in the card table and a tent, and we went down to the oil and lube. At a cat station, we pulled up, and they had no fucking clue what we were there for. None. We're here. The manager was like, you what? And I was like, 96-7, the legend for a race day. I always talked with a twang, make everybody feel okay.

I was like, 906, 7, the legend, we're here for race day because it was race day. And, you know, everyone was going to drive by. Oh, yeah. We were giving tickets to the race away. And I think we had, you know, 100 bucks and, you know, legend cash. You could only use. Twitty cash. Conway cash.

We had Conway cash that you could only use on the radio station's website for, like, shitty deals. Right. You know. Oh, those deals. Yeah. Oh, those deals. the fucking deals. God, those things went crazy for a while.

They went crazy for a while. People, they needed to, you know, the managers were pushing those left and right. What were they called? I forgot. Well, I mean. It was like a Group on. Exactly. It was that version of Group on.

It was through the radio station. And so there'd be like, there was one poor girl just had all these gift certificates on her desk and she had to mail them out. That's right. The whole situation was terrible. There was no good about it except for you might get, you know, a personal. PAN pizza. Like, personal pan pizza

when you buy 12 large pizza. Or mini golf. Half off mini golf. That's right. All the shittiest stuff. And this was, and there was an oil and lube,

you know, deal. And so we had these gift certificates, you know, half off your oil and lube. And so we were out there, seven in the morning, freezing fucking cold,

seven in the morning, you know, Cam and I, we had the speaker, the station was playing, and then I would press the button and I'd be like, come on down to buddy's oil

and lube. Yeah. You're at Twitties, oil and loo, but Highway 7777. It's Brian and Cam from Late Night on the Legend. Come on up for your chance to win half off your Twitty Loub. And there was no one there. No.

That's no one there. And people would pull out of the loom and they'd be like, what station you with? W.W.L.G. 967, the Legend. You ever heard of Late Night on the Legend? Those fucking liberals? Leading that The two funny guys That's right

They've just been fired We're the new management We're not them We're a new management Here to talk to every single Of the three listeners We're here to find the three listeners Of WW

ALG And then later on as the race got going There was like a big line of traffic Trying to get into the racetrack And so some people pulled it It got a little It warmed up a little bit. It was like five people standing there.

And the music was playing. And one girl was like, I'll take a picture with you. And I'd be like, of course. She'd be like, which one are you? Which one are you? She was like, are you Cleetus? Oh, God.

That's me. Cleetus T-Jezza. That guy. Oh, man, Cleetus T-Pud. Listen, God bless him. I hope he's doing well. well. But he was always nice to me, you know, he handed me all the drugs I want. No kidding. Yeah, he was nice. It was the drama that surrounded him that surrounded him.

He was like Big Ben. It was like just like a ball of craziness. I mean where he went. I don't even think he showed up to work. The guy got a million dollar a year contract to do nothing. He came in twice, I think, and they had to pay him out because of some problems. Right. Yeah. Some problems. But yeah, we sat down at that oil loop for four hours, and I think maybe 20 people showed up total. And that was mainly people pulling off because they were sick of sitting in the traffic. And, like, you know, we gave them a legend sticker or something.

Yeah, a t-shirt or a free coupon for ice cream. I forgot what it was all about. But I did earn three or four hundred bucks, and I was excited about that. And I took it very seriously. And I was like, oh, man, I hope I do one of these a weekend. Yeah, yeah, that's where you can make some cash. $1,000 a month, but that was the only one we ever did. Twitties, oil, and lube did not ask us back.

They did not ask us back. They thought it was a limp noodle. You gave it a good shot. Yeah, well, it wasn't worth us. You know, it was like a pull-in, pull-out lube station. It was like, you know, two bays, pull-in, pull-out. And we took up all their parking spaces with our tent and our speakers. And I think they felt like it was more disruptive.

And it was, you know, Adventition. Let's put it this way. I don't think they did any additional business because Cam and I were out there acting like idiots. And I remember Cam had like... Spinning tunes. That's right. We had the little board and like Cam wanted to like do the, had some bits that we did. And you wanted to plug them in.

And I was like, I got to read the room here, Cam. I'm not sure. They're going to report back. And I'm not sure that. Oh, my God. The radio days. Who was that girl from, I'm not sure the Sarah Palin bit's going to fly down in here at Caledah County. I'm not sure.

It was fun, though. Listen, we had fun and it was good. And I got experience on the radio and that experience led to nothing. Nothing. One year of positive revenue at the commercial ring. Well, you know, I mean, not been along for the ride the whole entire time. I know. Poor Chrissy.

Listen, which one's the bigger idiot? Me or the one who keeps following me around? I don't know. I did leave Clear Channel first. You did leave Clear Channel first. Yeah. But I was, yeah, I was. You were right behind. Oh, I was right behind.

I think it was weeks later when I left. Yeah. I mean, I don't think I stayed very long. Well, you were gone, and then, you know, I was in charge of seven radio stations on purpose because they knew that that I wouldn't be good at that. It would be a reason to fire me. So I luckily negotiated my. way out. And then you slipped right on over to Simon. Gobodia. Yeah, I went to Simon Guavadia.

Well, that was like a year later. But yes, I slipped on over. I left Clear Channel in 10, 10, 9 or 10, and I slipped over to Gwabadi in 11. And yeah, so, you know, from one shit show to the next. That was terrible. That was terrible. I saw that he just dropped his lawsuit against Portia, because he's not sure he can actually get back into the United States. I thought he was down in a holding so. No, so I read today, they shipped him out. He's now in the United Emirates. Oh, he is. Oh, I did see that. Yeah, I saw him. He's dropped his lawsuit against Portia because he doesn't know for sure if he could get back into the U.S. and he has to be present. Yeah, you got to be actually going to show up in court. I mean, I think you can, yeah, or a represent. What the whole thing was over was saying,

he had a rectile dysfunction. He had ED. Yeah. And I mean, how do you prove that or disprove that, honestly, is he was going to have to do some kind of test. I mean, that's what I have. Like, you know, there's cases where, like, you know, people have to go through drama. And listen, Simon's just a bad dude. Just stay away from Simon. He's over there in the Emirates, probably, you know, scamming more people. That's what he does. That's what he knows to do. He is literally, when you get those Nigerian oil prints emails, you know, I'm a Nigerian oil man. He really had convinced everyone he was. He was a real-life Nigerian oil man who had no oil. at all, ever.

But somehow there was money flowing somewhere. I'm not really sure. Don't even want to know, to be honest with you, probably. But, you know, I didn't get that involved because, you know, he just owed me a bunch of money. Still does. Jesus. If I had all the money from all the people who owed me, I'd be fine. But there is a point of diminishing returns when it's just like, what am I going to do?

Sit in court all day long? You know, I'm not Donald Trump. I don't have 12 lawyers just waiting to sue anybody and everybody who I think has done, you know, done me wrong song. But maybe that's a problem. Maybe I do need a team of lawyers. Maybe I could pay for the team of lawyers if I would just get some of this money back. Yes.

I mean, Kwapatiya probably owes me $90,000. That's a lot of fucking cash. Yeah. Yeah, I worked for that guy for a year for almost free. I think we got three paychecks. And then he just strung us along for the next five months. It was insane, insane. And then I had to be the guy who was like, he's coming.

He's coming. Don't worry. Simon's good for it. He's got oil. He's got oil. It's coming. It's on his way from Nigeria. Fingers crossed. Pinky promise.

Oh, Lord. You'll tell you. Good time. Oh, good times. Good time. Good times, everybody. Good time. All right.

We'll be back on Thursday. We'll be back on Thursday, I think maybe for two episodes. On Thursday? Yeah. Yeah? Okay. We'll be back on Thursday for two episodes. So tune in early or late, whatever.

you want to do, however you feel. And then I think on Friday, I am going to run our interview with Billy Gardell. Nice. Yeah. That was fun. That was a fun interview. It was a fun interview. He was a good guy.

Yeah. I've been meeting to watch that movie on Amazon. I can't remember the name of it now, but I'll go back in one. Yeah. I'll put it in the, I'll put a link in the show notes. So you get two episodes. I think what's going to happen probably here very soon, maybe as soon as this week or next week. You'll get three episodes of the commercial break, new every week, and then maybe a TCB

classic on Fridays so you can catch up. And, you know, we'll have some fun. We'll do it that way, okay? We'll do it that way for the foreseeable future. We're learning as we go six years later. Yeah, six years later. We're just figuring it all out. But that's the world of podcasting. The world of comedy podcasting is in a lot of tumult right now, just if I'm being honest. So I don't want to get into all the bad news, but there's a lot of comedy podcasts that are not doing so well. They're seeing numbers decline fast. And I think I know why.

We're just not that good at what we do, and we do too much of it. Well, someone's excited about us doing three episodes. Yes. Okay. All right, we'll do it. All right. So three episodes, you'll get Billy Gardell, I think, this Friday. The tune in.

It's a good interview. He's a good guy. You're going to enjoy what he has to say. I promise you. He is not. the guy from Mike and Molly, he's a new guy, and he's really cool. He was really cool.

So, I mean, he is a guy from Mike. You get what I'm saying. I don't have to explain everything to you, do I? Okay. And if you want to listen to my wife off camera, follow me at Brian W.
