I don't know if I could be amazing today. But too exhausted from being amazing yesterday. On this episode of the commercial break. Start with the gold rose. Yeah, start with the $200 gold rose. Uh, think about it for a few days. Yes, perfect. Yeah, you want to marry me?

Here's the ring. Perfect, just. I know it's a little weird. There are six other people sitting around the table along with a camera crew. We're in a hotel lobby where they sell live chickens. But don't you want a marry, baby? The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

The third year tomorrow! Ah, yeah, Kazakins. Welcome back to another episode of the commercial break. I'm Brian Green, this is the director of Swarty Services, Kristen Joy-Hodley. Best of you, Krizet. What's he, Brian? I'm best of you out there in the podcast universe. What's on store for Rush this year, Krizet?

Um, I don't know. My, uh, sub daughter just went through Rush, though. Oh! And she got into theity that she would like. Very nicely done. Very nicely done. Very nicely done. I'm excited.

I did not do this sorority life. I really didn't have a lot of friends that did either because we kind of all over our own sorority because we went from high school to college. High school to college and then from college to bar to bar to bar to bar. Exactly. Chrissy is still looking for her sorority sisters. The local bars around Atlanta. I think it's Alabama Rush time. to bar to bar to bar to bar. Chrissy's still looking for her sorority sisters. Local bars around Atlanta.

I think it's Alabama rush time. Well, was it Alabama rush time? Is it Alabama rush time? I think it's already half a rush. Oh, okay. I think it's an hour. I think it's an hour. I see what's going on out there.

It seems like it could get crazy, but it seemed like hers was not like that. And it seems like it does have a lot of benefits. Well, listen, I'm not saying that when we reviewed Bam Aarash, that is the most ridiculous version of sorority. And obviously, the filmmaker has an agenda, right? And while I may agree with some points of a agenda, may disagree with some points of her agenda,

there's clearly an agenda. Number one, number two, I don't think, I never did it, so I can't say one way or the other, whether it's good or bad or indifferent. And I do understand, when you go from high school, where you probably know most people, if not in your classroom in the entire class, depending on where you're coming from,

and then you go to college, where there are thousands of strangers, it's not a bad thing to buddy up and learn the ropes and all that stuff. Yeah, and I think it's good for career opportunities later and for help with different areas of school. That's really what it is. It's like when you get out of college and you go get your law degree and then you're going to be a partner in the firm where your fucking fraternity brother is, right? It's very nepotistic and it's just kind of setting you up with friends for life that hopefully can help you out in certain situations or may or may not help you out in certain situations. So I don't have anything against sororities or fraternities, but that Bama Rush shines

the most ugly light on exactly what's going on. I just started to watch that because I had not watched it when we did our review. Oh really? You did the motion in your way through that Bama Rush. What you You Review I said I hadn't seen it I Just plow right through I got a I call you to your review. Well, thank you. Chris. He was reviewing my review while it was happening But I did start to watch it a little while back and then I was like no, I can't now you it's did start to watch it a little back and then I was like no I can't uh... now you know it's

it's ugly in all all shapes and forms and fashions and you i don't know bama sororities i have no idea so they're supposed to be the most prestigious in the in the country according to bama rush which obviously again there's a agenda there which is she's got to make that netflix she got a high-pup that netflix special or netflix certainly has to have up the netflix special but i will see this.

I have Instagram and you know my Instagram is full of all kind of nonsense. And one of the things that appeared on my Instagram was the rooms of sororities, right? The sorority rooms. Yes. So what they do is it's just like hundreds of pictures of girls mainly who have dolled up their room in their

or it's dorm life, it's dorm life and sorority sisters actually. They doll up their room where they're budding up with somebody, small room, and they make it luxurious and wonderful. Right, well there's a variety home where there's lots and lots of rooms and I've seen that before and then there's the door. I mean when you're in a freshman you go straight to the dorm so you don't have that house shed. Yo, oh, when do you get to house? It usually is second or third year.

Sophomore, you gotta wait. You gotta grow up a little bit. You gotta be of legal drinking age. Is that probably? Is that probably? I don't know. Yeah. Did I tell you the one time I ever walked

into a sorority house? I was working at that damn chileys, which was the source of all my misery in life. Some guys went to fraternities, I went to Chili's. Yes. Where I got taught how to order a kid's margarita full of cocaine. Literally, full of cocaine. So Rochambo, baby, Rochambo.

Rochambo. So this girl running around the chiles, very cute. She belonged to a sorority at Georgia Tech. And one afternoon just out of the blue, she comes and she says, will you go on a date with me? And I was like, wow, I'd never been asked out by anybody for any reason whatsoever. And I'm not sure I'd been on that many dates whatsoever.

I mean, if a date included getting drunk at a pool and fucking get your next door neighbor's apartment, that is a date I'd been on many times. However, an actual date, I never, I don't think I'd ever been on a proper date. Really? I was so young in like, you know, keeping it casual, you know how we do it.

Us, Jen, what are we? Jen Z's, Jen X's, boomers. What the fuck am I? I don't know whatever I am. We're not boomers, that's for sure. We're not. I sound like one sometimes. I think we're genetics. So she asked me out. She says, we go on a date with me. I say yes, of course I will because you're cute and

yeah, we're friends and you're now you're asking me out and you're showing me all the love and affection and attention I never got from my parents. I love this. This is awesome. My therapist has been telling me this will happen so She goes it's a surprise date, and I can't exactly explain what's going on, but I will send a cab for you, and because we're gonna be drinking, I'll send a cab for you,

and you'll come to my apartment first, and then we'll go together to the date. That was as luxurious as Marlon got. No, I did not get a Porsche 911 at my front door that I could use at my leisure. It was literally a yellow taxi cab. All those smell, sights, and sounds that came with it. So I get in this cab,

take me down to a house in near Georgia Tech that has, I don't know, it's like a quadplex. There's four rooms in there, and it's all young single females. Perfect place for Brian to show up. Perfect. And I'd been drinking beforehand because I was so nervous about this surprise date

that I was pretty lit up by the time I got there. You're thinking about, this is a 22 year old Brian running around town, right? So, I get there, I have my uniform on, which is basically a Hoya Beta, which is an old man's Cuban shirt with four pockets. Why are we talking about this white band of four? When does it make an appearance?

It made an appearance from age 19 to 37. That's when it made an appearance. I used to have four hoiabadas, two of which I bought Miami, two of which I literally got from an old Cuban man, my friend's dad, who was like off the boat Cuban, you know what I'm saying? Okay, so I am wearing the clothes of a person...

60 year old Cuban man. A person in an asylum Would have completed the look I look like I came straight off a boat from Cuba That's Doc Martins The only pair of slacks that I own which were my ch chile's black pants, were they permanent awesome blossom sauce stain on it. I probably a little faded, were they black? They were black, but on the bottom they were like white from all the bleach water from dish washing. Yeah, that's so cool.

I remember that we're not wearing. So I've got dark green combat boots on basically. Black kind of black pants in certain places still black. So I've got dark green combat boots on basically. Black kind of black pants in certain places still black. A white blue way of that. A six-butt lights in. So I show up and she comes out to the living room and she is dressed.

I mean killer. Like white dress, so white summer dress on, looking beautiful, you know, cha cha's out the whole nine yards. I was stunned at how good looking this girl looked because I'd only seen her in her uniform at Chili. That's it. But man did she dress up well.

And I was like, this is it, man, Brian, you hit. I never even had this girl on my radar, except to know that she was cute and worked at Chili's. But all of a sudden, I'm like, she really must love me. She is taking me out on a proper date and she is dolled up to do it. She smells good, she looks great. She goes to Georgia Tech.

I'll never go to Georgia Tech. I'll never, yeah. I never even stepped foot on a college campus. So I'm like, wow, this is lovely. She goes, are you ready? And I'm like, I am, I'm so, I'm so eager to hear about this. And she's like, that's right. Is that what you're wearing?

Because this is what I'm wearing. Did we need to check? Did we need to check? Well, she asks, then she goes, do you think a tie would go with that? And I'm like, a tie in a Hoiabera? No. And she's like, because I have an extra tie.

First of all, I don't even know where you get an extra tie from as a single woman that's 19 years, 20 years old. But anyway, she says, well, listen, our ride is going to be here in just a few minutes to pick us up. And I thought, great, fantastic. And then all of a sudden, all these other girls from all these other rooms are coming out.

And then there are guys showing up for them too. And I'm like, oh, I guess we're going on like a double date, triple date, something like that. Yeah. And these guys are showing up, and they're showing up in full suits, Chrissy, full suits, some of them wearing that. She should have told you to.

She should. She never told me. Either she never told me or I never asked. I probably never asked hoping she would never tell me so I wouldn't have to prove. First of all, I didn't have any money to go spend on new clothing. Second of all, I was gonna have to break out the only button down shirt that I owned and it was from my high school uniform. So all these guys, and

now I'm starting to get what's going on here. We're going on a big group date. This is the surprise because all the guys don't know what's going on either, right? They're also not talking to me because they're probably like, who's the homeless person in the corner. It smells like booze. Who is that guy? So all of a sudden, a bus shows up, a limo bus shows up, it's all right, we're going on a limo bus. I am.

Just startled, stunned. And I'm like, this is cool, creepy, weird, fun, exciting. I don't know. I'm up for it, whatever it is. I'm a stranger danger, whatever it is. I'm a stranger danger. Let's go. We get on the bus.

There are now 30 other couples that are sitting on this huge limo bus. They're all dressed up to the nines. I am the least dressed person at this occasion. Hey, I'll be your entertainment for the evening. Hey. I'm super sales. Like, I have a flower that probably pull out of my she. I'm doing magic tricks.

Look at there in your ear. Yeah, that, digress. I just have to deal with it now, because I'm in it. You know, you're in it. I'm in it now. And now I'm so nervous that I'm the least dressed person. I'm so nervous that I don't know what's going on. And I'm so nervous that no one is explaining to us exactly where we're going,

that I have these huge sweat stains. It's also 112 degrees in it. Hot September day. So I have these huge sweat stains under my armpits. I'm wearing this way of bare. I got these dirty shoes on. I smell like awesome blossom sauce. And so I, I, so finally, a little bit is being revealed. These are sorority sisters of hers. I never even knew she belonged to a sorority. And we are on our way

to the sorority house. Oh, okay. It was like a social. Yeah, Chrissy. I walk into the, you know, bus goes to the front, everyone's filing out, we're toward the back. I walk in the front door, and I fail to notice that everyone is walking around the sorority seal that's tiled on the floor, and I am standing right on the middle of it. So there's this huge grand stair case going down each way, just like something right out of going with the wind.

I mean, it's insane, right? And not a bit of diversity to be seen. Like it's, this is Georgia fucking tech. So I am standing in this seal and all of the sudden some girl at the top of the stairs is like, excuse me. And I'm, huh? Huh, is that me?

Excuse me. Could you mind getting off of the seal that is a rule number one in this award? I have the role. I have the role. Yeah. And I was like, what, the seal? What are you talking about?

The seal, you're on it. I don't understand a fucking word this girl saying, she might as well have been talking actual Greek to me, because I'm like, what is she talking about the seal? And then my date comes running along and she pulls me off to the side and she's like, you can't step on the seal. And I'm like, there's a seal.

Like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, like seal, dude, tricks, what are you talking about? And she's like, the seal, the sorority seal. I'm like, you guys have a sorority seal? Where do you keep him? Is in a tank? Does he eat fish? What's going on? I don't know what you're talking about. It's the seal, like the slogan of the fraternity of the sorority. I step on it and all the sudden I am a fucking outcast. I mean, as if the clothing wasn't bad enough. I already was. I'm drunk. I'm dressed like an insane person. I'm stepping

on their seal. And clearly, I'm just, this is not for me. So we all, all every guy got handcuffed to their date and blindfolded as we got driven to an improv comedy theater where the improv comedy theater would be focusing on the poor bastards who had just shown up not knowing they were going to an improv comedy theater for a full-on roasting of the date. He for now all of a sudden dressed perfectly. Chrissy, I was target number one because some looky-loo smart-ass, you know, Brian Green want to be, the commercial break wanna be pointed out

that I was wearing an old man's Cuban shirt and it became the joke all night long. I was the joke, you're wearing army boots in a Cuban shirt, are you just, are you with Che Guevara? What are you doing there, dude? I was mortified the entire night, it was miserable for me and and now that I am handcuffed

to the date, I cannot drink as much as I would like to. Oh, I cannot, pee, I cannot use the drugs that are in my pocket. I can't do any of that because this girl's standing right next to me. I also can't smoke cigarettes like I am just dying inside because I got to sit here during this entire improv comedy thing that's going on. And now I just have to sit there and take it.

That's it. That's all I had to do. Wait, so was it like the audience you guys were part of the show doing the improv or it was just an improv comedy show with other people and they were doing it. At times they brought up some of the couples for little games But they avoided me altogether What they did was they also made the guys in the audience they made them part of a kind of roasting that they were an ongoing Roasting that was going on. Yeah, we were like open targets, right and some of the other guys got some shit and a few of your date

Chose you me because I was the most laughable human being a chillies targets, right? And some of the other guys got some shit. And if you're a date chose you. Neap, because I was the most laughable human being in chilies. Maybe she thought you would bring some pizzazz. And you did. I brought some pizzazz. I didn't bring the gizzazz, which is what I thought it was going to be doing. And I was going to bring the gizzazz. But what I brought was the pizzazz. Chrissy, this was one of the most mortifying nights of my life, and I will never forget it as long as I live, never dated the girl again, by the way, because I felt a little bit jilted by the whole.

Right. What happened at the end of the night and what happened after when you saw her and worked with her again? I just, we played very friendly with each other. I think it was clear that we were not meant to be together. Yeah. I'm not sure we were ever meant to be together and I think you're right. I think she brought me because she believed I could take a good joke, right?

I don't think she knew that I would show up as the joke. I think she thought I could take a joke. Yeah. But I turned it into the joke. I was like, I can picture you at Chili's and you know, you have that magnetic personality. I can beat. And you like to joke and laugh with people you always have. And that's part of your charm. And said she probably thought this guy will be great for the comedy show.

I've seen this guy polish 50 cents silverware and he is gonna be my brother. I see her thought process. I do see the thought process. Probably yes. I'm sorry he's fine for you. It was it was awful. It was just awful. At the end of the night, luckily after the comedy show, they unleashed us, they unhand cuffed us. I quickly ran to the bar then,

outside for a cigarette. I actually... I guess they ran like a wild wolf. Oh my God, Lucy. I could not. I knew a girl in the improv comedy troupe. I knew a girl who worked at the improv comedy theater. That was fortuitous.

And she wasn't working that night. She was on stage that night, but she was working as one of the helpers. It's like a very famous improv comedy troop here in Atlanta. And so she was actually in the facility. So as soon as I broke free from this girl, this girl's name was Aaron. I was like, Aaron, please, you got to get me out of here. Like, I got drugs, I got booze, I got, you know, $20 for a case of bud light. Like, let's go somewhere else. And I actually don't even think I went back to this. I actually know I didn't, I didn't have it.

I would not have it. No, I didn't go back to the sorority house. No. I stayed with Aaron and I went off drinking my sorrows away. Exactly. But anyway, it's rush time. So if you want, into Bam a Rush, go ahead and scroll through that Instagram and TikTok.

Speaking of improv comedy, I do like improv. I did not use to like it. Because remember what was that? Whose line is it anyway? Yeah, I hear that. Like Drew Carey had and I didn't like that when I used to watch that. But I've been to a few live improv shows before and I've done a little improv myself in different little workshops and things over the years and I like it. I really like it. This is what exactly what we're doing here. We're just bantering back and forth. And then my penis fell out and then Dick joke here

and then pussy lips and then I have always thought about joining an improv comedy troupe. But I should do it. I mean, I asked her to tell me every once in a blue moon, she's like, you gotta go do that improv comedy. I'd love to do it really. I don't even have a fucking time to do that. No, you don't. I do. Yeah, you know, I, Astrid tells me every once in a blue moon, she's like, you gotta go do that improv comedy. But I'd love to do it with even a fucking time to do that. No, you don't. I do. Yeah, you do.

Why don't you go do it for us and bring back some of that knowledge. Maybe we'll make this show a bit more funny, digestible to the list, but, you know, here, Dad's Garage, whole world improv theater, you know, whole world theater, Red Door Theater, they all do like great jobs at improv comedy. They do. And Dad's Garage is right on the street for me.

Yeah, it's, you know, improv, improv comedy when you go and you catch there like a-trupe can be really, really funny. However, most of the time when I've been to Whole World, it's to see other people that I know who have joined the improv comedy. That's the way I've been to it too. And it's like the C-group, right? It's their learning.

They're learning and this is their free show and they make a little bit of money on the bar and the whole nine yards. So, you know, I'm all about it. I'm behind it, but how do we find the time, Chrissy? I've got 10 to 12 children. And- I've got 90 day fiancee to watch, so.

Here, I'm gonna put it to the listeners. Yeah, you do. If we talk about 90 day fiancee, one more time. I know, I'm trying not to. But that is now taking up my time. I know it is. It's hard not to like one more time in this. I know, I'm trying not to, but that is now taking up my time. I know it is. It's hard not to like get stuck in your brain. Yes.

So I wanted to share something with the listener. I'm gonna put it to the listener by the way. Would you rather see Brian and Chrissy take an improv comedy class and get better at being funny on the show and do less episodes or would you rather just stick to the episodes and try and work it out ourselves because we have no coaching or training so,

we're probably gonna stay the same forever. Maybe I'll dip my toe in the water. I think it's a good idea. We bet kids on the house now. Yeah. Jeb's busy. I support you a thousand percent. I come see you. Yeah. I can make it out once a month to go see you. Okay. Yeah. If you want to do that. Okay. I mean, if you're going to go forward, go right to Whole World theater or Dad's garage. Go right to the bed. That's right. That's next time. Tell them on your own commercial break.

That should do it. That pulls them away. No where except for. I mean, it'll elevate me to the A group right away. Except for Mimpho where you get a 10s right next to the port of less. And in front of the main stage so you can record clearly. And fairness, that was like our first year. No, in fairness, it absolutely was nobody's fault.

I'm not blaming anybody for anything. It was just funny how it all went out. It was. Poor Jeff. He got violently ill. Poor Jeff, he just didn't know what to do with us. He was like, just don't bother me and you'll be okay. He was trying to appease me his wife

and as a loving husband should. He was like, okay, I'll do it. We have a banner made. Okay, I guess. He got a banner made. We've a banner made. It's still holding space somewhere in the studio. I think it's one of the behind one of these curtains where it will forever live and die.

I do want to say something to the audience real quick. I think this is like important. Break the fourth wall type show stuff. So we are going to start extending the show a little bit longer than we normally do. And along with that, and there's reasons why, and you'll figure it out as we go along. Exciting, new and exciting stuff coming to the commercial. Yeah, always changing and rolling. And what you think we're always just going to be reviewing Frankie B, even though we'll

always just be reviewing Frankie B in our hearts. We're not always going to do that every episode, but the show is going to grow and change, and new things are going to come, and new people are going to visit, and all that other good stuff, so stay tuned. But along with that, we need a little bit more room and space in the show. So we're going to move from 45 minutes to an hour, to an hour, and 15 hour, and between an hour and an hour and 15 minutes. With that, we have made the decision, which many people have told me before they would prefer to have two shorter commercial breaks,

like actual commercial breaks in the commercial break, rather than have one longer one. So we're gonna take that, we're gonna heed that advice, and because we're going a little bit longer, I feel it could be appropriate to bring in two smaller commercial breaks, just a couple of minutes each, rather than have one five or six minute break

in the middle of the show. These commercial breaks, they provide us a small, and I mean a tiny little bit of money to help us out with the costs associated with the show and keep Chrissy and I fat and happy and all that good stuff. So I know that if you had a choice, there would be no commercials. And someday we might have that option too.

But right now, this is the only version of the commercial break we make. And the version that we make, and the reason why we make it this way, is so that we can make a little bit of money off advertising in our show. And it supports us and it helps us feed our families. And no joke, you guys have been wonderful. Like we incredible. I was just signing the autograph. We just signed like 30 more

Post-Pers. I can't believe how many people are requesting. It's crazy. They're requesting the stickers and then they're requesting us to sign something and we love it and so grateful. You are the best listeners in all of podcasting and I know this is not sure only choice of Oh, there's a million. There's a million of them. And we love you for listening. And so we're asking you if it's okay with you that we make some changes in the show, some of the structural changes in the show, and then some actual content changes in the show that will hopefully help us grow, stay interested in what we're doing, and keep you interested in the show long-term.

We can't stay, you know, dick jokes and Frankie B forever, although we'll always do that. Yeah, we'll always do that. That's right. So just stick with us. We're evolving, we're changing, and one of the things that we're doing structurally is we're making it a little bit longer, and then we're adding two small breaks instead of one larger break into the show. I think that'll help with the flow a little bit.

And also, I imagine most people just skip those after a while. You know what I'm saying? They know the flow of the show, so they skip it, so I'm gonna fuck it up for you, so you don't know when to skip. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be like a lot of other podcasts, and I'm gonna stick a commercial literally

in between a word that I'm saying. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Do you have you heard this? No. It's like, hey, Chrissy, welcome to the f***ing commercial break here. F***ing commercial break. No. It's like, hey, Chrissy, welcome to the f***ing commercial break here. The commercial break. No.

Literally put a commercial break in the middle of a word. They have no understanding of how audio should actually flow. And so so many podcasts do this up to and including Joe Rogan for a long time and still today. They'll put it in the middle of it.

Yeah, so that you don't stop listening so that you don't fast forward because you don't have the rhythm of the commercial break. That's sneaky. That's sneaky. It is sneaky. What Chrissy and I do is we telegraph that the break is coming so you can skip it and we

can make less money. We are the dumbest people at podcasting. But it is our industry. We love you very much. Stick with us right in if you have any questions, comments or concerns. You know how to do it. We'll give you the information later on in the show. Okay, Chrissy. Now that we've talked enough serious shit for one day, I want to get back to what we have been discussing this week, which is Russian mail order bride. And I guess it's hard to avoid the topic. I promise myself I wasn't going to talk about this third show in a row, but I guess we

will. 90 day fiancee got a started on this thing. The international love stories that we all see play out on these different television shows. Most of them named some in some way shape perform 90 day fiancee. Yeah. Before the 90 days, I have the 90 day. I have the 90 day.

During the 90 days. Therapy 90 days. Yeah. In London. In Ireland. Not on the island. Toon into TLC. In the city. Right now and you're going gonna see some version of 90-day fiancee.

But they're fascinating, I have to say. They are fascinating, fascinating, but hardly new. No. This has been going on since mail. So, yeah, because it used to be catalogs, right? There used to be catalogs, Russian mail order brides, and then when the internet came on.

Literally, you could, yes. You could. Order the ones from the catalog. That's it, that's why they call it a Russian male order bride because you could write to them from this particular male. She's your girl.

Write your number down and send them. But one thing has remained true also is that for every lonely heart out there looking for a Russian beauty, we're saying Russia could be any country but that's just the term, that's the colloquial term that's been used. And the video we're about to watch, every time there is a lonely heart, there is someone

willing to make money on that lonely heart trying to find their love. So we are watching currently a documentary television show that was presented in 2011, called Love Me. And it's all about Russian mail order brides online, and how one company in particular called, isn't it like a foreign affair? Isn't that what it's called? AFA?

Yeah, a foreign affair. A foreign affair, I don't even know if they're still around anymore, but a foreign affair had a website where you could go and you could troll or scroll for your Russian bride. But that wasn't all. But wait, there's more. It was free to join, but then you could message them for a price.

You could message them and then they would charge for that message to be translated and then that message would come back translated. You also get charged for that. And then that is not all. And then that is not all. Wait, there's more. You too can have a Russian mail order ride for $17,000 and 700 cents. All you have to do is get on a plane that we chartered from some cheap airline company. Fly all the way to Ukraine and meet your brand new wife. Is she

the same girl? No one cares. There's plenty to choose from. There's plenty to choose from. So right now the movie has so far introduced us to four lonely older white men that are looking for their next love in Ukraine. And this company is taking them on a trip around Ukraine. They're taking them on a ride. They're taking them on a ride. Basically, they do as they put them on a ride.

Metamorphically. Yeah, metaphorically and literally taking them their wallets for a ride. More like it. They're put them on a plane,. It was a pretty fun. Mademontically. Yeah. Medivorantly and literally taking the, their wallets for a ride more like it. They're put him on a plane, then they put him on a bus, then they travel around Ukraine, stopping at these smaller cities. And in each smaller city, the company has set up a party where literally hundreds of girls single, attractive, Ukrainian women show up in hopes they can meet a rich American and the rich Americans are there hoping that they can meet their next wife and so Where we left off is we've been through two of these parties which are wild by their wild

They're wild. They're there's ballet dancing. There's boobs. There's men ripping their shirt off There's there was a scene where one of the two or directors a guy who owns part of the company, was onstage shirtless with a woman sitting on his face. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. I mean, I've been to some fucking wild parties. And without having to check your clothes at the front door, this is the wildest party I've ever seen. Can I ever see it?

Can I ever see it? Oh, the Kyra-f-f-f-f-the Kyra-f-f-actors. Kyra-f-actors take it to a whole note. This is the wildest party that did not have chiropractor at it. It's probably gotta say. They might have needed them because the way that guy was back then, over it's not to see the woman. Is there a chiropractor in the house?

I just see that guy unable to get off the floor, but he's like, well, my mustache smells like pussy. Exactly. But I got that Ukrainian stank on me. All right, so let's get back to it. Without further ado, I was trolling on the internet. As you do. I do love to do.

And let's get back to love me, the documentary about Russian mail order brides from the website of Foreign Affairs. Okay, oh, so I wanna preface this. So we're focusing on one guy right now. I was talking to a girl who he says looks like Angelina Jolie and she does to be fair. She's very pretty, but we just had stopped at this part, young, the last episode.

She's a travel agent. She's a travel agent. She's a travel agent. That works directly with the travel company that brought them over there. You don't say. I can't imagine why, what kind of incentive she has to. She's tripping him along.

She's triple dipping. You got triple dip. She's taking money from foreign affairs. She's booking the travel. And then she's also getting money from one of these guys. Anyway, let's follow up with him. Let's see what he has to say. Okay. Alacity. And I'm down to one. travel and then she's also getting money from one of these guys anyway let's follow up with him let's see what he has to say okay

last city and I'm down to one to be honest this is probably the one that my eye always came back to her name is him is Julia she works in a travel agency incredibly beautiful we've been hello a foreign affair of a travel agency. Oh, are you connected to travel a foreign affair? No, who is this? It's Spill, your love. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, each other for, it's gotta be seven, eight months now.

Well, me, at the social, I'm coming to basically try to sweep her off her feet. Do you have pictures on her? Yeah. Of course. Of course. You don't think that picture comes out of every bar he goes to? At work, at every bar, every time he's at home,

he's masturbating to it in virtual reality even though the picture isn't virtual reality. Yes. How old is she? 26. She was a little bit under my uh, target age. Oh, we talked about this yesterday a little bit under my target age of 27. This is the one from the website where she looks like Angelina Jolie.

That's it. You know, that looks like a natural picture, doesn't it? Yes, completely natural picture. It's just what you take. You're sitting around. It's in auto focus. It's got a little fade in the background. Yeah.

She's in black lingerie because who doesn't just, you know, wear black lingerie? The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. The fire in the background. She's not looking for rich American. She's looking for true love. Yeah.

She does. How can you go wrong there? Bill. Bill. Bill. If your name is even Bill. Which, who knows? I don't know. But how could you possibly look in the mirror and then then also think that this girl who by the way is in my opinion more attractive than Angelina Jolie in that particular picture? How can you even imagine like I'm not no Brad Pitt, but I also know I'm not like Bill, right? Yeah, poor Bill. I also understand that I'm probably not dating Angelina Jolie. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you just gotta put two or two together for one second. And it's not a menu where you just order up the best thing on the menu and that's what they make it seem like. Yeah, that's what they make it seem like because that's how they spend money. And if one girl just does it falls through, you just move to the next girl, right? But this guy's been doing this for seven or eight months.

They count much money he's put on the message. I bet he'll tell us in this documentary. By the way, might I say they couldn't have made Ukraine look more miserable if they tried. It's dark, it's gray, they have a filter on it that makes everything look low light, it's awful. They have cranes, everything. Yeah.

Well, it's because of the Ukraine. Yeah. Yeah. That's how it goes. It's a name. Did you know that? Ukraine. Did you know that?

No. The Ukraine's named because of the famous cranes on the shoreline. Oh, I did not know that. I'm kidding. Brian, tag days are fixed. It's me from the travel agency making sure you're doing okay and shandy fifty dollars. The worst. Just waiting this is last hour and a half wait is just driving. Let me just say to the listeners out there and I hate to keep stopping it.

We didn't need to keep playing it, but he looks like the cartoon Dilbert. Mm-hmm. You're right. He looks looks like the cartoon Dilbert. Mm-hmm. Like, he looks like a real life Dilbert. Yeah, with a little extra weight. Mm-hmm. Something special, all the other guys, they go out and buy roses. I wanted to get something that would last

hopefully as long as the relationship. So, One gold rose Ah the old $6,000 gold rose I got one of those for Astrid my kids having their playroom It's literally sticking in one of the toy baskets. That's how important it was to her. So thanks Brian Thanks to be fair. I bought it at a mall kiosk. I was like, I'm going to do something special for Astrid. Before I go to, yeah, I'm going to banana Republican by Mr. Roger sweater. I'm going to give myself a $3,000 rose. I forgot how much they were 89 bucks or something. Hey, those, it's a cute idea.000 road. I forgot how much they were, $89 or something.

Hey, those insincute idea. It is, it's sweet. It's awful. It is above and beyond. I agree. I agree. Listen, it's the thoughts that counts. However you can't have it in the play-time.

They do. I was like, hey, don't play with that. Your mom wants that. It's okay. Let them play with it. It's fine. But it could break and they could choke. If we're only so lucky!

If we're only lucky, you choke! Hopefully it gets through this and I would say it would be okay. I'll be either really happy or really sad. Well there's other kids in my dad. There's no end between with this guy. It's like pranford, guys. That's the way I'm looking at it. Which is nice since I never went to Pranford.

Oh, no. Nice, very nice. Thank you. The housekeeper of the hotel is telling him he looks very nice. I think he should get with her. She seems like a... She seems age appropriate.

Yeah, and like a really nice person. A very nice person and It's obvious that everybody in Ukraine is in on the Perfect is like a Truman show Everyone's just hanging around Okay, actors number 14. I want you to iron that shirt and tell him he looks nice. Cue the maid. Yeah, cue the maid.

Cue the gold rose salesperson. Quick, double the prices. He, he, he, he. Oh, good. Good as a poor master. I don't feel so bad for him. I know. Because you know this is not going to work out the way he wants it to.

I think. I mean, I think it's one million that it will. Yeah. I think it's highly unlikely. They're saying there's a cheat. Every time I see someone with black hair walking the door, like, what? That's not her.

Oh, not her. When I did my search, I looked for certain specific things. I like women that have black hair, blue eyes, people that are smart, that are independent. Someone that's gonna make me want to be a better man. A business woman.

Yeah. A woman of business. Well, she's in business. Oh, she is. She's in your business. Q the fluffer. Exactly. That guy was put there. I know. He's at the front door. So they're at the front door watching all the women walk it in there's a guy just turns to me goes your romantic moment is about to happen in a minute yeah just keep standing here

when the guys come over uh... they have their own set of expectations which may be on target and may not be on target these things oh gee i've been writing says the guy who is naked on the dance floor with Russian women on his face yeah says the guy do arenas fedlana elena i've been writing all these women and they write to me and i wrote to them i told them i was coming over and maybe that works and maybe that

doesn't you'll be waiting for a while i'll see you guys again Okay, so the exchange is very loud in there, so what you didn't hear in subtitles was that the producer says, so you've been waiting for her all night if she doesn't happen, it shouldn't come, what happens, and he says, well, I'll just go to the bar and have a few drinks. And she says, well, what happened? The producer says, well, what happens? The whole trip has been predicated upon you meeting this girl.

And John says, well, if it doesn't happen, at least I went on vacation and I saw a whole new country. I mean, that's a good way to think about things in front of a camera. In front of the camera. When you've had plenty of time to think about what you're going to tell the camera. But what you're probably feeling is absolute heartbreak. Hi, the women's chickening with you too. Oh, no English. What did you expect your innu'krain?

A small town in Ukraine. Yeah, this isn't like Odessa or Kiev. You're in a tiny little town. By the way, might I point out how weird the music is? It's a weird... It's a weird... It's a weird... I thought she was going to show up, I really didn't.

So I made sure I was staying off by myself because I didn't want to hand off other women trying to keep them away while I'm trying to wait for her. I wanted to come in here. Well, Bobby, I don't think there was any chance of that happening, but you don't know, there's a lot of women in that place. To this place, to this person, and now we don't know what's going on. That is so sad, he's got his forever rose. I know, he's got his forever rose, and now he doesn't know what to do with it.

And might I point out this probably happens to most guys on these trips. They've been talking to a woman who gets paid to talk back to him. That's exactly what happens. They because I can guarantee you, even though 200 single women show up to these parties, they're getting free drinks and free food, and there's no obligation that they have to leave with any man. However, if they want to, then that's a different story. But if you're talking to someone online via text message that has to be translated and takes days to get back to you and cost $15 a word, then-

I'd seen pictures that are clearly professionally taken and touched up. Yeah. it's it's probably not even these women that we're talking back to them. Yeah The party looks fun. There's bubbles. Yeah, there's bubbles. There's balloons Uh-oh, it's the morning next morning after It's like anybody would feel. Definitely not good. I've said that a few times in the morning. So I had a conversation with John this morning saying, the lady I'm talking to online, the lady I'm writing to, works full-time in a tourist agency Monday through Friday, half a day Saturdays,

and isn't a student. And the person that Max is talking to is a student half time. I said, you know, I've been writing this lady, you know, we're almost daily for months now. Emails are $10 a pop going and coming. $9,854 is how much he spent on email. Talking to her. That's 1,000 emails he sent to her, holy shit, in 8 months, 1,000 emails.

Let's do the rough math, carry the one minus two. That's 652,000 emails a day by my rough math. And did you do the same math I did? No, and instead I'm looking at these numbers over here. What are those? I mean, how long it took to send? Their time stamps. Yeah, I think their time stamps.

Oh, I just sent stamps. I imagine that they're also based on the length of the email, too. Yeah. Yeah, because once 2199, this one's 1699. 1699. Balance, too. 9,854 dollars, 63 cents. So let. Yeah, balance due. $9,854.63. So let me get this straight.

He said he talked to John, I think John is the owner. John is the guy who owns it. Yeah. He said he talked to John and he's talked about arena. Yeah. And he said, this is who I've been messaging with, but John said, well, that's not who I've been. I don't, I didn't get that whole point of that.

I'm not really sure what that meant. That's the student and the student. Yeah, but the student and the tourist. I don't know, maybe that comes into play later. I didn't get that whole point of that. I'm not really sure what that meant. Yeah, but the student and the tourists I don't know maybe that comes into play later. I didn't really understand why that was relevant, but maybe we'll figure it out So I'm probably up 10 grand My biggest fear is that it was a scam That she's writing a 50 or 60 guys and she's getting a cut of the fees for the emails going back and forth Your biggest fear of the last yeah, your biggest fear is probably true this woman is speculated a little league or just

that you don't know oh my god city care song her nickname is rabbit that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that like one two. He's trying to find out what's really going on. Yeah, I bet John was like, let me get to the bottom of that. You're asking the guy who's scam you? What's going on with the scam? Come on guys. They finally got a hold of Julia and she is supposed to be coming here in about half an hour hour for her. They're like, get your ass over there now. Oh yeah. Well, I bet what they're going to do. I have not made it past this part in the movie, but they could literally find anyone that has black hair and say,

oh, this is photos I took when I was younger, right? Right. I have to go in there, approaching it like she's honest and all that, and hoping, so I's not being screwed. So. There's a lot of waters. There's tons of water bottles.

Yeah, waters, Sprite, all kind of stuff. You know what, at least he's smart enough, like he's not totally blind, right? At least he's recognizing that there could be another possibility besides some young, hot, wonderful, beautiful woman in Ukraine isn't loved with me. It could be some hairy dude in Wisconsin riding back to me. You know I hate interrupting Brian when he's yammering, but he's always yammering, so it's

kind of my only option. Anyway, it is about that time for me to remind you to go to TCPpodcast.com, text us at 855-TCB-8383 and check out our socials at the commercial break on Instagram and at TCB podcast on TikTok. Go on, Brian needs this. And don't forget to go to youtube.com slash the commercial break for fully edited videos. I promise you're gonna love them. Also, it would mean the world to us if you'd support us by supporting our sponsors. So let's have a listen to them and then we'll get back to this episode

of the Commercial Break. And it's been hours, I've been sitting here thinking the same thing over and over, how do I know? How do you know? How do you tell? What is that? Well, they just walked in with like two huge guys in front of her. Yeah, I think so here's what's going on.

They're down at the hotel lobby now for those of you listening. They're down at the hotel lobby. He was up in his room talking to the producer and now they're down at the lobby. I assume that they're going to meet this woman. To not be meeting you. Yes. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. что они будут в this one. I was probably zoomed in to the whole of the relationship that was shining. I was like, what did you say?

We've been writing for so long. I was hoping that we'd be able to move on. I came here to see you. It's the only reason I came. Was to see if... That is not the same woman from the pictures. No way. Move. Maybe further in the relationship. Do you feel like she was the woman that was writing to you? I had some questions and doubts because the pictures I showed her to her pictures of things that she's seen before, the house, the yard, my work.

You're just showing off your work. You're an excellent government. Oh yeah, he works for the government. That's great. Ha ha ha ha. It's fun the government. That's really fun. I think she's seen before the nuclear code. War plans for China. You know, it's all stuff I work on.

John, you gotta be careful, everybody. That's fun. NASA, this is actually pictures from the last shuttle launch. Well, that gets them wet every time. That gets them wet every time, John. Show them the pictures shuttle launch. Well, that gets them wet every time. That gets them wet every time, John. Show them the pictures of the it's shuttle. Well, once they get every is my

point, you shouldn't be sure we know these pictures. There's a picture of the new overpass near my house. Here's a before and here's an after. We're getting a circle K. Yeah. She wasn't doing right in the letters. Does it matter? It would have.

It probably should. But what I don't wanna do is for me to overthink and I cause the problem that isn't way there Because honestly I can't get this girl out of my mind It's not the same girl He's like I would have yeah, probably should he doesn't even give a shit I just want somebody yeah, he wants something to show for his $10,000 That's what he wants exactly and he doesn't even care and you Like, I can, I don't think I'd make the same decision, but I can put myself in his shoes.

I can totally put myself in his shoes. Yeah. And Mary. Oh, she got me. He's my boyfriend. You want to marry me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do There are six other people sitting around the table along with a camera crew.

No, gotta still go for the service because I need to have the translations Oh my god, John you don't need the translations all you need to do is Google it need the translations. All you need to do is Google it. Go go. Oh my God. Did you get a email now? No. Why would I do that? No, we're going to get married. We're going to get married through the service.

Yeah, he probably loaded up while he was You know, we did He probably loaded up while he was in Ukraine. You know he did. I'm leaving him stuff, that's how I feel.

You can actually figure it out. No, I don't think most of the people here like Americans particularly. You take a woman from the Ukraine and you have to overcome the language barrier if she does speak excellent English. So they're getting a group of people. You have to overcome the clave.

I ain't this fucking company. Hey, group photo. I want to be front and center. I guess the classic. Sure. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю.

Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю.

Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. Я не знаю. So we've probably spent about a total of three hours actually face to face. the man that I want and what's important to me, right? This is the girl who met another guy at one of the parties and they kind of hit it off.

And that she said, this is the most important thing to me is that he must be reliable. I was only hoping that this would happen. I never dreamed that it actually would. Oh, this guy got engaged too. He did. Wow, so that's, we're two for two now. Well, we're two for four.

Well, we're two for 12. This is really what we are. Right. What you know, not bad. Not bad. Two out of 12. Two out of 12. I'd say that's actually pretty good I mean you were talking about getting engaged here. We're not talking about you know

Do you want another date? Yeah, right? This is not Full blown will you marry me and this goes very pretty by the way and now after this show is where they transfer to 90 day Fee yes The second half of the documentary is dedicated to heartbreak in hell. Yeah. I really don't want to leave. Can I have to really rough leave in Victoria here? This is the cow milker, by the way. If you listen to the last episode, we got introduced to this guy.

He was milking cows in Wisconsin. He lives in a town of population like 50 people. Yeah. I'll try to keep him in constant contact with her. Hopefully he's a guy who I talk on the phone. Anything else you want to say before taking part of Victoria? I had he been talking with her at all. He just straight up met her at that social?

No, I think, remember this is like his seventh trip there. Oh, this is the guy who's been seven times before, yeah. Too much of a white cat. I'm pretty torn up. Down very. So you're gonna be okay. I don't know, we'll see. It's so hard to tell you who I think will be successful because to me, if someone comes

over and has a wonderful time, it opens their eyes, that's a successful time. But as far as finding out one woman in game, you're too different. What's it? That's a successful time to him and someone can come in and open their eyes. Opening their eyes to the fact that they're gonna skimmed. Yeah. $50,000 to go over there.

Mm-mm. But I guess it works for some dudes. But I guess it's gonna work for some dudes regardless. Yeah. Well, and again, we don't know after the 90 day, like after this. We might see the other. I know that is success.

That's really hard to tell because this is real life. This isn't controlled. They're all adults. We're introducing and whatever happens happens. Well, that's a convenient way to cover up your scam. What? Wisdom from the guy charging $10 per email. Whatever happens happens.

Yeah, he's making a killing. What ever happens happens. Yeah, he's making a killing. Three months later. Three months later. Yeah, that's a dairy farmer. Yeah, he's in Wisconsin, USA. He's getting up in the morning and stoking us. Stoking us. Stoke cattle. Stoke cattle. Stoke farmer. Yeah, like a wood burning stove. Cheese. Great. Yeah. Great. She's's gonna have a great time. She probably has heat in her house. The Ukraine, it's not like the North Pole. It's been almost three months since I've seen Vika.

When I left Odessa, I knew we had a great connection, and I've said, I'd like to try that very much. I can't say I was in love. I knew I liked her a lot. I can't say I was in love, but I proposed to her with my $30 ring from... The kiosk of the mall. The kiosk of the mall. The mall.

I got her. Kira the ring. I got her bird stone cold. Thank you. I didn't want to lose that. After coming back home, I did not know I was in love with her until I seen the video the AFA had on their website from the Summer Tour. The first time I seen a ball of my eyes, oh, that was what I knew. It just brought back everything.

Well, it's got a date of December 2011. I'm putting it somewhere between 2009 and 2015. It's like a competitive zone. I'm putting it in that zone. It's in that range. Even though it's a time-stamped. Cause I knew exactly what she was doing. She was singing to me in Russian. Brought that back instant. What happened? Did she die? Or's going on? He's still here. He's dead to a major city and get her over here. Yeah dude, fuck the cows.

I just... Yeah, fuck the cows. Find somebody to get those cows. Turn them into some Tomahawk chop with... Oh no, who not? Cow head on the block. Like chop those bad boys up and go get your love dude. Yes. Yes I'll be there in one week today. Oh, he's going to sleep

He's got a proper engage Look at that if that's a real diamond that's fucking expensive dude. That's huge. That is huge That's huge. That is huge. That's what she said. No, that's glass or something. Yeah, it's easy. Okay, now we're in Texas. What's the other guy? You're the guy, the air guy. You're creating on six different trips over the course of about nine years. I've probably dated 35 to 50 women that I met there. And all the indications of art that I have found. So dating he means messaging, yeah.

Or one night with one woman in one of those parties. Someone that is truly serious about building a committed relationship and coming to the U.S. is truly serious about building a committed relationship and coming to the US. So I leave on my seventh journey in two days and we will be back together in about a week and a half. Oh, he's still with Marina. We're in the island.

In the island. Yeah, in the island. Yeah, oh, there's your parents, okay. I'm going to take care Oh, there's her parents. Okay. We have a little sister, Mom. We have a little sister. We have a little sister. You know how young people are. Here in Ukraine, girls get married very young.

They started to be a baby. We have a little sister. And we have already been married. She is a big old cow. She is beautiful, mom. She is an old cow who will die soon without help from man in USA. This is like something out of Borat, yeah.

The parents are basically saying they don't want it to be alone for the rest of the life. The mobs say, I want a grandkids. I want an American grandkids. Give me happy life in Ukraine. I'll hurry up. Your uterus is burning. You understand? Afraid?

I got her this engagement ring. Wow. The father is saying I was worried. It's far away. Any father would be. We're used to taking care of our children. The father says now she's flying away with someone. That wasn't very pleasant for the parents.

Yeah, that's gotta be tough. And now we're fine. But, of course, you're worried. I can't wait to see you at the airport. I agree. I'll miss you until I see you. I agree with the two sentences you understand in English. I will think of you like robot. Good bye. I really am looking forward to coming through that gate at the airport and looking into her eyes again and reconnect. But you can't wait to get through that gate.

Right. They're showing her in a pool right now. And if they keep you in the maze. that gate. Right. They're showing her in a pool right now. She's amazing. Hold her. Okay, now we're back to the guy who just mixed feelings. I mean, so now we are back with the guy who we started this episode with who did. Yeah, got jilted because the lady didn't show up at the party like she was supposed to. They magically found her somewhere and she showed up the next morning at the hotel.

Abbey. Not having the same face, but the same person. He proposed. He proposed. They were engaged. I bet they're not anymore. Sort of good that, you know, I met her. She's very, it was very attractive lady.

Thinking that maybe something's gonna happen, but still had that nagging feeling that something was gonna, something was wrong. Good test you got. We love it, yeah. I was, I left thinking that we were gonna get married. When I got back, we were corresponding very, very frequently. But every time I went back to something,

I was rocking up the charges, rocking up the fucking charges. So right. Never answered the question. So it really started bothering me. Eventually, I just gave up. I said, listen, you need to have got to answer the questions. Or it said, I'm done.

I don't want to talk to you anymore. So she sent me one final letter saying that she was hurt, you know, I wasn't the person she thought I was. I was like, well, okay. It was over. You're not the person I thought you were, even though I just met you. You are not person I thought you were, even though I am not person you thought I was. We are in what to say, Mexican standoff. So why did you propose to are knowing that something was wrong? What was I gonna lose at that point? You don't think that he was misled or scam?

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure he's not. It is what it is. It is what it is. I'm just trying to run a simple servicer, helping men find love across the country at $15 per word. We removed the women from the site because we have taken her off. You know, if she wasn't legit, he still hasn't made anything right by me. And I spent thousands of dollars, you know, just for the trip, a lot of me. Letter translations and photos.

I love my dear Bobby. Thousands of love. Just my dear Bobby paid. He paid for email. Pocket for this. All I can say is that we worry about us. We worry about a foreign affair. And we always try to do the best we can.

Oh, well, then there you go. There you have it. I just want to finish what he has to say. For our clients, we always try to act ethically. If we find a problem, we try to work to resolve the problem. But word number one, there's always going to be problems. But I think the measure of the company is how the company deals with the problems.

Okay, so you dealt with the problems by doing absolutely nothing to repair the problem. Wow! Great customer service over there. You an Xfinity, working to solve customer problems. Oh my gosh. That was amazing. I can't wait to see what happens in the final, final 20 minutes of our documentary here because I bet there's a few more heartbreaks before it's all said and done.

Yeah, you gotta be that. And you know, this poor bastard, this John guy, he went out in his way. John Bobby? Is his name Bobby John? John Bobby? What's that my dear Bobby? My dear Bobby.

Oh, Bob! Ha! I've always been good with names, you know that Chrissy. That's why every time you ask me about a 90 day fiance character, I'm like, who the one from that country? I'm so good at it. All right, listen, we love you very much. Thank you so kindly. We're very grateful for all of you
