The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Ohio State to my George Bulldogs, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris and best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe Bulldogs, Chris and Joy Hodley. Best to you, Chris and. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Oh, you're actually a vol. Yes, I am. A vol.

Let's see. Me here. Tennessee vol. If I could, sharing my day to day. The vol's not doing too badly this year. No, not at all. I will say this. Not at all for the vol. This is the year I have slowly but surely

turning into my father. Yes, yes, I'm like that Allstate commercial, asking people to take their shoes off and putting coasters down the drinks. I am slowly but surely turning into my father as I now understand the allure of football. And talking about weather. And talking about weather.

And bitching about people driving slowly. I now know it all. I'm all, all of it. I'm come full circle. Listen, I've always been a casual, very casual observer of sports in general. Baseball, golf, women's volleyball, beach volleyball. Those are the things that I have traditionally like paid a little bit more attention to for this period of my life where I could tell you every golfer, professional

golfer that was in the top hundred. I don't know. But I found that golf got a little less exciting when Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and some of those people stopped playing. It's still exciting, but it's just a new generation and I haven't kept up with it because I have children and I can't afford to spend five hours watching a tournament. Well, may I recommend that Netflix show, All About the Swing? Yes. I can't remember the name of it right now. All About the Swing or something? I don't know. I know what you're talking about.

Yeah, it's really good. It catches you kind of back up with what the current situations are. I actually do know because I pay attention to it enough. I say pejorative, but I'm not into it Like I used to watch every swing of almost every tournament at some point during the week, right in between my binge drinking and cocaine Habit, I would find a way to watch golf and I you and I went through a period where we watched a lot of golf together We did we did we'd watch all the majors and then if it was a sad way the masters the masters and that a Saturday afternoon I'd be you know laying on the couch nursing a hangover. And I would be too, on the other couch. On the other couch, watching some, you know, the Douchebag 3000 or whatever, you know, the Douchebag final or whatever we were watching.

But anyway, I have found it's a little bit more digestible to watch. And I've always been into college football. I've always thought that was, I always thought that those guys play so hard for the love of the game. Not all of them are going to be professional football players. They're playing for pride. They're playing just their little hearts out. Right.

And so I, now for money, now for money. And I think that's an interesting point that we should talk about, but college football, I found this year I'm keeping up with a little bit more because I find it to be exciting that there's now a 12 team playoff. Instead of the, when I was a kid, you just went to a bowl gang and then they would have rankings and you would be number one because you were ranked number one. And sometimes the one and two would play and usually what was that? The sugar bowl or the cotton bowl or something, the Pasadena bowl, the Rose bowl. I'm not sure which one, but there was a bunch of bowls that were prestigious and then they would send the top ranked schools to those bowls. Then they

formalized it with a playoff, and it was used, and that's been a 14 playoff for a while, the first and second play, and the third and fourth play, and then whatever, you know, there you go. But now there's a 12 team playoff, it's a bracket, so it's a little bit more exciting. And that, on top of the conference championships. Now don't ask me how all this works, I don't even know what a Nickelback formation is. I don't even know what a Nickelback formation is. I don't even know what a running back does. I really don't. I'm so unknowledgeable

about the actual mechanics of the sport. But I like watching a good touchdown just as much as the next person. Exactly, yeah, it's just fun to get in the spirit. It's fun to get in the spirit and watch all the college kids root and raw for their team. It's exciting, the atmosphere is exciting. And the coverage is usually good.

They usually have people that will talk knowledgeably about what's going on, usually something about, this is the most underrated defense in all of the college football. They're really stuck. They're in the pocket and they're standing there, look at that guy blocking.

And I'm just having a special team. You're not prepared for what happens next? You're not prepared for what happens next. You're not prepared for what happens next? You're not prepared for what happens next! This weekend, the Ohio State versus the Tennessee Volunteers, what will happen? It's life or death out there for those guys, you know? Something about the offensive line and the defensive line, and that's where there's one in Lawston.

I don't know. It's all, and then the post-game conferences are always something like this. Yep, well, the fact of the matter is, if we would have scored more points and our defense would have held better, we would have won this game. And then it's like, isn't that every game? There's no variation of a post-game conference that makes any sense unless some crazy drama happened. It's all the same bullshit. But anyway, I digress. I don't get that into it, but on a Saturday, I will put it on in the background and watch

the big games if I can. So I'm, I'm excited this year because it seems like there is now some parody in college football. And here's what I mean. I think in the past, really great players go to the hot schools and that tends to be somewhere in the s, really great players go to the hot schools, and that tends to be somewhere in the Southeastern Conference. LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, you name it. I mean, they're not Tennessee lately, but this year they're doing well.

They are. Clemson is not in the SEC, but it's a Southern school. But anyway, so these- Ohio is always big too. Ohio is good, Texas has always been there. SMU, unbelievably, SMU. Michigan. Michigan, Notre Dame.

Listen, any school can be good at any given year, right? But the SEC, they always talk about as like, the big bad boys of the college football, and everyone wants to go to a Southeastern school because the girls are good looking and the weather is warm and, you know, the campuses are crazy and whatever. So, but this year, it seems like more than ever, there's a lot of parody in college football, there's upset after upset, there's victory after victory. There's, you know, one team, there's, usually you would have to be like 10

and 0, 11 and 0 to get anywhere close to the college playoffs. Now there's teams with two losses, three losses that have been upset that are, have a chance at going to the bracketed tournament, let alone to get into the final or the semi-final. That is exciting to me. That is exciting. And I think what changed the game here is the fact that you can get paid to go anywhere. You could literally go to, uh, Virginia fart university in Southwest Virginia with

nobody playing there and plays no other schools. Right. And be the quarterback, the star quarterback in that particular division and get paid $200,000 for doing a Doritos commercial if you're a personality and they want you to do that. You can get a sponsorship, whatever. It changed the game. Now it matters less where you go because if you're really, really good, you're going to get paid, right? And I think we can all say it out loud now, they were getting paid anyway. They were getting paid anyway. Yeah, definitely. It doesn't fucking matter anymore.

The NCAA, after years of doing the wrong thing, did the right thing and said, if we're gonna make $6 billion a year on this fucking college football and television rights and stadium rights and everything else that comes along with it, we should give some of that money to the people who make it so popular, which is the guys that are fucking cracking their heads every Saturday afternoon.

And I think that was the right move and the right call. And now I do believe there's some parity along with that. I guess there's a portal where people can, it used to be that if you transferred, you had to sit for a year or Something like that and some kind of complication Where if you transferred you may have been sat for some period of time like a cool-off period and now you can just transfer Schools and you're playing the next week and we're whatever I don't know how that portal works But there's a portal and you could transfer through the magic of the internet inside of it and whoo. There we go You're now getting paid $200,000

from Bob Corvett's and Willekeegan, Illinois. Brand new Mercedes, whabam, no problem. RBM of Milwaukee, Wisconsin grants you a brand new Mercedes. These players are getting paid as they should be. Yeah, the quarterback for Georgia is driving around in a Lamborghini. Boom! Wabam!

Wabam! He's not even that good! He almost ruined the season for us! Get paid those big bucks and you start slipping, buddy. Yeah. Well, listen, that's a flashy example of what can happen, but when you're the number one school going into the year, when you're the number one school and you're the quarterback of the number one school, you just won a national championship, of course, you're going to get paid, right?

But you got to keep working. But if this was 10 years ago, he would have been driving around in a two-year-old Mercedes Benz that was pretty good looking, right? But his grandma got it for him. Right, exactly. Which means somebody gave it to his grandma and his grandma gave it to him. Yes. So as to skirt the rules. I was watching this documentary about Southern Methodist University,

which was a powerhouse football, college football team back in the 80s, but it was payola everywhere. They were literally like, not Eric, I can't remember the name of the guy, but they, like, he showed up, someone gave him a corvette, one of the schools gave him a corvette during, like, the courting period, you know, when they were trying to get him onto the team. And come signing day, the team that gave him the corvette, he decides to go with the other team. So now he's got a corvette from one team and he goes with the other team and they give him a bunch of money too. It was all happening anyway, but now it's just changed. Like now it's an even playing field. Everyone gets to put it out there in the open and at least there's some transparency as to what's going on. And I see these college kids in

these ads all the time and I'm like, good for fucking you, dude. Get that fucking money. Get paid. Now it sucks if you're like the fourth string, you know, I don't know, Nickelback, I don't even know what the fuck you call them, but fourth string punter, you know, you're not getting a deal. Maybe you're getting free Quiznos or something. Right. Here's a Quiznos card, kid.

Make a post on Instagram about it. But anyway, the reason why we're even talking about this is because we have a TV here and we watch stuff in the background when we're not recording. And we were watching the Pat McAfee show, which is on ESPN. And he's a highly, highly popular and controversial figure who has been doing this live ESPN show for a while now. It's a podcast, quote unquote, radio show, quote unquote, whatever the fuck that even means anymore. I don't know. I don't even know what podcasting means anymore. But, and that's part of the reason now we're going to be on spot of my video is because I don't know what it means, but I don't want to be lost. I don't want to get, God forbid I'd

be behind. I'm going to get on Clubhouse early this time, kids. I'm going to ride the wave to fortunate fame. Yes. This time kids, I'm gonna ride the wave to fortune and fame. Anyway, this Pat McAfee is now on this, you know, the college game day. Yeah, so now he's a personality. He's like the, you know, ruffian. He's the crazy guy who does anything, says anything.

Rogue, he's going rogue. Look at right now, we're watching this and Aaron fucking Rogers is on. Now, Aaron Rogers, I don't know what happened to that guy Rogers is on now Aaron Rogers I don't know what happened to that guy I mean Aaron Rogers anyway I'm not gonna talk about Aaron cuz I just don't give a shit but um Pat McAfee is so popular and he's been he's been such a star for ESPN that they live and so we were watching him talk about like the stadium series in the NHL where they put an NHL

rink in the middle of a stadium and they play a game. This year it's going to be in Ohio, it's like in February or March. But they're talking about college football and the rankings and who's going to be where and all this other stuff. When this comes out, it'll be a little bit more clear who's in the playoffs. But Pat McAfee, he is so wild. He's such a wild child that they have to put a disclaimer on the ESPN ticker that constantly says, you are watching a show where, live, where anything can happen. Like, please excuse us in advance for anything Pat McAfee may say. This is ESPN owned by Disney. ESPN owned by Disney is putting a disclaimer saying that Pat McAfee could say anything at any time.

Man, how things have changed. Oh, for sure. It used to be, it used to be that if you were anywhere on broadcast television, there was just a certain set of parameters that you had to live with inside or you were fired. You would never be seen again on network television or cable network television. And Pat McAfee is, we just watched the show and we heard two shits in like 15 minutes. This is on like one o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah. It's crazy. I think, I think it's great. First of all, I love it. I think good. They should, they should be able to

say what they want to, as long as you know and understand there's some transparency into what's being said, right? Now, I don't know Pat McAfee well enough to like him or dislike him. I'm just sharing with you that I've been hearing a lot about him. I've watched the couple hours of his show. He really is a loose cannon and he will say anything and ESPN does nothing about it. They just put the ticker on the bottom. Please excuse us in advance for all the shitty things Pat McAfee's about to say. Aaron Rodgers, you should have a disclaimer on his tattooed on his forehead, honestly.

He's a walking, he's a walking shotgun. And- It is very interesting. I need to check him out. It's so fascinating. It really is. And Pat McAfee was like a punter for NFL and then he became like a commentator

and now he's just a superstar. Yeah. And why is he wearing two rings? Well, and he's got a very gold watch. Yes, is he married to two women? Might be. Man and a woman, is he a polygamist? There's gonna be a reality show about this later.

Let's start a rumor that Pat McAfee is a polygamist, but not married to two women, married to a man and a woman. It's a throuple. That's right. Yeah, he's got two rings on the left hand only, no rings on the right. I know, that's weird, isn't that? And that is a very gold watch. It is. 1986 call. Huge gold watch. Yeah. Back to the future, the actual movie called it Monster Watchback. That is not, I don't know,

I guess some people are into that really orange gold look, but that's not for me. But piggybacking on that, here's what's interesting about that college football playoff. And I know that we have mostly a female audience, they probably all tuned out at this point. Actually, I think a lot of women like college football too, because they went to college and they love it. And at least- That's how I got into it. Most of the ladies I know watch college football.

I really was not into it at all before I went to college and then participated in all of the games and go to the games and it was a big deal and part of the culture. I know a lot of women that are into NFL football. Yeah, oh, Tom. NFL football is just not my thing. But, you know, I cannot, I don't know. I don't know.

Something about watching overpaid good guy. I mean, I just don't think they play as hard. And I know that that's probably not true, but it seems like when you're in college, you're young, you're fit, and you blood and sweat and tears, you leave it on the field. It seems like when you're in pro football, you're careful not to get, you know, sometimes you're just like careful not to get hurt so you can play next year. I don't know, I don't know what it is.

It's just like, something about it is not as exciting as college football to me. But a lot of people feel that way. A lot of people feel that way. Okay, so here's what's exciting about the 12 team playoff. So Georgia, the UGA Bulldogs are in this interesting situation where as a two lostloss team, it was

likely, at least before this previous weekend, and now we're recording a little bit ahead of time, so remember this, at least before this previous weekend, it was likely they were not going to go to the SEC Championship unless some upsets happened, like Ole Miss losing to Florida, which happened. But they were still ranked high enough to be in the playoffs. So if they had not been in the SEC championship game, great. We have a bye week. We have an extra week to recover and then we still go to the playoffs.

But now since there's been an upset, they have to go to the championship game. It looks like we'll see what happens this weekend, but they have to go to the championship and so now they have to play, I think they said they were going to be in like 14 games if they go all the way to the national title, 14 games playing. Yeah, that's a lot. I mean, can you imagine 14 games in a season? I can't imagine what kind of toll that must take on your body. Yeah.

And go to school. Nah! Well, now listen, there are a lot of athletes who are very smart and like you hear about them all the time. They always find that one smart athlete, that one guy on the team who's overachieving and they talk about him constantly. He's like a bioscience major. Double major in biology and science, triple master's degree, he's a PhD, he's like 29

years old. He's like, you know, seventh year senior out of downtown Mariana, whatever it is. And, you know, he's got a 17.0 GPA and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They always find that one guy to point out that you can be a sportsman, you can be an athlete and also have an education. But let's be real honest about it. A lot of those guys are there to play football and that's what they're there for. But I would think that if you're getting a free ride, you get the education to go along with it. You're at least pretty reassured that everyone that plays on the football team, if they make it four or five, six years, however long they're in

college, that they actually get that degree because that's what really matters. There's no guarantee you're going to play NFL football. There's hundreds of college campuses that have high level football. Yeah. I mean, most people don't. Yeah. There's only how many NFL teams? Twenty-eight? Something like that? Mm-hmm. Something like that. How many NFL teams are there? That's a good one. I'm really interested. Let's see here. Somebody is yelling at the speaker right now.

It's going, 32, you shithead! How many NFL teams are there? Okay, you don't want to answer me? How many NFL teams are there? Your thing messes up every time you try to do it. I know. 32. Okay. I was close. Well, I was right when I nailed myself. It was 28 before the expansion. I don't know what expansion, but the expansion, you know, where the Jaguar, Jacksonville Jaguars got in. I'm old enough to remember that.

But anyway, so, you know, who knows what's actually happening now as this is being released. By the way, it sounds like there's a professional football game going on outside my door. I know, going down the hallway. Yeah. Geez. Those kids wanted to play football the other day in the hallway. And so I was teaching them, you know, hot, hot, hike, like simple football. You know, they were so excited because we got this little mini football we wanted to

play. Yeah. That's cute. And they really went at each other. They were like throwing each other against the wall, tackling, crying, screaming. And then I was like, okay, let's do baseball. And so we have this like little softball and I'm like teaching them how to swing the bat.

And within five minutes, like half the Christmas tree ornaments were on the floor. Broken, and Esther's looking at me and I'm like, okay, maybe not baseball. What about Monopoly? It's a great sport for everybody. I hear chess is making a comeback and it is. Chess is quite popular right now, by the way, while we're speaking about sports. Did it go away? Well, yeah. I mean, okay, there's always been people who play chess.

Yeah, they have those big tournaments and things. Of course, and, you know, Yegayev-Lavalsky or whatever Russian name is next, you know, playing the supercomputer, however it goes down. Chess has never gone away, but chess is seeing a resurgence in popularity and they are now starting a new type of chess where you can move the back pieces in certain ways,

so you now have like 192 different combinations as to how you get started. Yeah, so there's about to be a big shake up in the chess world and there's startup companies that are putting big money into like, chef's website, big chess. I didn't say big chest, I said big chess. Settle down out there.

Brian's talking about tits again! Big chess, like big oil? Yeah, like big oil. That's right, big baby oil. Gotta look out for big baby oil. We're on to you, big baby oil. Free Diddy! It's big baby oil! That's who's behind this. B. Diddy's basement was just a proving grounds for big baby oil, for big lube. It was like a test kitchen. So yeah, chess is seeing a resurgence. They're dumping a lot of money into technology companies that do stuff with chess. I don't know. During the pandemic, I started playing online.

Yeah. And like, you know, there's like, you can be a thou, like a grand master or whatever. There's different levels, right? Within five minutes, I was like, you know, there's like a thousand levels. Within five minutes, I was like on the 27th level, right? But then within another 10 minutes, I went back down eight levels. I won one game and then I was like on the 27th level, right? But then within another 10 minutes, I went back down eight levels. I won one game and then I was like, woo, I'm so intelligent. And then I was playing three year olds in Switzerland

who were wiping the floor with me. I was like, fuck this. Then he stopped. Yeah, Davios is five, play him. Okay, I'm level 27. Yeah, I'm level 3000, asshole. I'm starting with the Bukinski move. Yeah, I'm starting with the Guru BG move.

Knight four to king seven, whatever that means. Meanwhile, I have another tab open and I'm reading like, how to play chess for beginners. Swear to God. Swear on the Lord. Oh, I can see it. Oh, Brian always has the best of intentions. It ends up ending with Brian angry at somebody. A five-year-old. 5 year old in suedavios. I'll teach you! I'll be back randomly! You'll never know when I'm coming! You can't prepare for what comes next, little davios! You better look out that Swiss bedroom of yours. I'm coming for you. All right. Oh,

we're extra chatty today. Let's take a- We're hyped up. Yeah, let's take a- we're hyped up because we actually get a break for a minute after this. All right, let's take a break and we'll be back.

I am not one to imbibe a whole bunch anymore. I've got 13 to 15 children. Checklists to get done and jobs to do. But even with moderation, I don't bounce back like I used to from a night of drinking. I find myself having to make that choice. Can I have a great night or a great, responsible day tomorrow? A tough choice to make, indeed. That is until I found pre-alcohol.

Z-Biotics' pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by a PhD scientist to tackle rough mornings after drinking. And here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in your gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for that rough next day. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break down this byproduct, and just as long as you remember to take pre-alcohol as your first drink of the night, then drink responsibly,

you'll feel your best tomorrow. We've now been out for a few nights of drinking where pre-alcohol is the first thing that I drink. Let me tell you, when I can get up in the morning, take care of my 12 to 13 children, still record an episode of the commercial break, and make it to bedtime with a little bit of energy left in the tank to watch bad television,

I know that pre-alcohol has done its job. And with the holiday season upon us, I know I'm going to be consuming just a little bit more alcohol than usual, but with pre-alcohol I can stay on track and not let the holiday season throw me off course.

We're watching bad McAfee and as, as previously mentioned, and Aaron Rogers is on and on the title tag, it says New York Jets QB Aaron Rogers, Super Bowl champ, four time NFL MVP, Ayahuasca enthusiast.

Some Disney employee typed that out. Ayahuasca enthusiast. Now, I will say this, I have heard Aaron Rodgers talk about his ayahuasca experience. You know, I also heard, what's his name? Jake Paul talk about his ayahuasca experience and how that led him to calling Mike Tyson to do this fight. He had a vision. I don't know what version of ayahuasca he was doing, but I did not have a vision of doing anything except surviving this journey on ayahuasca. I mean, I did not, I was not, I didn't see some motivational movie playing in front of me. I mean, I saw a lot of things. And the bottom line is what almost everybody walks away with is that we're

all interconnected. Everything is interconnected energetically and physically in this form and that your body is simply a vessel, a vehicle where that energy takes, you know, can move in this particular realm. I mean, it's really hard to explain, you got to do it. And if you do do it, then you will understand probably, but beware. This is not for the meek. Be prepared. That's all I gotta say. Have a guide. Don't do this recreationally like on a Tuesday night, you know. You take some ayahuasca on a Tuesday night, you might wake up the following Tuesday wondering why you're standing on top of a building without your shirt on. That's all I gotta say. But I have heard Aaron Rodgers, whenever I hear somebody has done ayahuasca ceremonially, not in a party atmosphere like DMT, like smoking DMT or dropping DMT, which is the same drug

or the same chemical that is in ayahuasca that activates this hallucinogenic experience, I feel a kinship with them because I know what that's like and it's not, it's just hard to explain. You go off into a different place and you come back. And you will be changed in some way, shape or form. And I guess that could be said of any experience that you have in life. You could go to the fucking Whole Foods tomorrow and your life could be changed because you got, I don't know, butterfly effect. But ayahuasca. Because somebody masturbated on you. Remember that story?

Oh yeah, there was some dude whacking off on women at the Whole Foods. Geez. That guy. That's life changing. Yeah. He did not have that vision with ayahuasca. That's for sure. There's no whacking off in Whole Foods. But anyway, you get what I'm saying.

So I feel a certain kinship with them because I say, okay, you've been there, you've visited that realm, you've gone outside of your body energetically in that way. What did you learn? But then I hear some of the things he says and I'm like, I don't know if we had the same, I don't know if we had the same type of ceremony. I don't know. I don't know. Also, ayahuasca has become a rich people's experience, right? Because you can pay thousands of dollars, go down to Costa Rica, Brazil, wherever, down in South America. And

ayahuasca, the vine that it grows on in the different plants that they use to brew up the ayahuasca. Were you at a retreat? Did you go to the South America? Okay. No, I was here, a shaman came here and I was invited to go once, I ended up, they asked us to fast. That was the time that I told you where I went into a room at our friend's house. I will share that friend at a different time. Yeah, the doctor. It's not a doctor.

The guy I thought was a doctor and I think this is where it all started. You're going to do to me as a doctor. Yes. Until I'm talking to him and he says, you know I'm not a doctor. And I said, what? I thought you were a doctor. Remember that time you invited me to take ayahuasca? I thought you were a doctor. I thought a doctor was asking me to.

I thought it was being prescribed to me. I didn't know. Anyway, oh my God, that's funny. I don't want to give too much away, but that is funny. It'll always be funny. It'll always be funny. And he'll always be doctor to me. Yes. The doc. Yeah, the doc. And sometimes I look at him and I'm not sure if he understands. Like sometimes

the doc has this look on his face and I'm like, is that your normal look? Since I'm sure the doc does not listen to this show. Or maybe he does, who knows? I know, we don't know. Anyway, so I got invited to his house by a friend of mine and this was years ago and I barely could say the word ayahuasca, let alone understand anything of what it was, but there was a room of about 20 of us. And there was a man there who was very well cherished and respected in the community that the circles of friends- He was wearing a white turban and everybody thought he was a shawl.

He was wearing a tie-dye shirt. He always had a walking stick and he was likely wearing some kind of skirt. He had a big beard like Santa stick and he was likely wearing some kind of skirt. He had a big beard like Santa Claus and he was like Papa Bear. He was like the Jerry Garcia, like the Pied Piper of this group. Everyone loved this guy, everyone. And he really was like a Jerry Garcia like character. He was just wise in ways that you didn't understand. He would say things to you. It was like the matrix. I don't even think he knew what he was saying to you. I think he just had a bunch of sayings that he would say, but it always made sense in the moment because you were likely too fucked up to realize he was just repeating things. But whatever,

I took it. Listen, God comes in many different forms. She is a funny bitch and, you know, I'll take it, right? And she just happened to be in a skirt with a big beard. I don't know. Okay. All right. I got it. And the walking stick. I never forget the walking stick. Oh, yeah, you gotta have the walking stick. Yeah, but he actually did have trouble walking at that point, so... He wasn't afraid of a jelly donut. You know what I'm saying? There's the skinny Buddha, there's the fat

Buddha, you know, I'll take it for what it is. Oh, Brian. I'm picturing all of this. Okay. So we go in, so I go into this, I get invited, my friend is hyping me up about this. This is a once in a lifetime experience. You're never... Until next weekend. Yeah, until 2024 when you could buy it at QT. I mean, honestly, until 2024 when Aaron Rodgers sets up an Ayahuasca day camp for rich kids. I mean, come on. It's like, seriously.

Yes. It was a, so I walked in there not knowing anything except for there was this tea, this substance, this thing that they could brew up. And at the time, so we went and there was a couple of people there that spoke to us, like a group of 20, imagine we're just sitting around in this living room, a bunch of people, and some people get up to speak, and this guy got up to speak, this kind of, you know, Pied Piper, the group got up to speak, and he had been, Pied Piper, he had been to South America, and he had met this shaman through the grapevine. He had been invited down to

this actual ceremony for $5,000 a piece. I make it sound so special. It was probably so transactional. Do you take American Express? But I'm wearing a skirt. Don't I get a discount? Kind of already weird. I've got the stick. Yeah, I've got a stick. Do you think I have an American Express, dude? I mean, come on. I bought this tie-dye shirt at an actual Grateful Dead show and Jerry was still here. So we go into this room and here's the pitch. Imagine this. He says, listen, those of you who have never done this before, and there was like 19 out

of the 20 of us, we have rented or we have been granted access to a room. We've rented a room at the Holiday Inn. There's going to be Lido or Derves, champagne and plastic cups. And then you're going to die a million deaths and throw up on yourself. It's going to be so much fun. Can't wait to see it. So we're taking small donations to buy me a new walking stick for the event. Oh my God, I get so laughing.

I am so bastardizing this whole thing. It was special at the time. It was special at the moment, and it's still special in my head. Yes, yes. But I see it a little bit for more of what it is. I mean, you know, we're trying to make a little scratch, but they were also inviting you to experience something that they hadn't experienced. Okay, all right. You know, I get it. So, this is what was said, is they gave us this list of instructions, basically, which was, you know, some people react to this differently. It's a tea. It's going to be brewed as a tea. It's not particularly pleasant tasting. It's not unusual

to vomit. Maybe multiple times after you take it, the body can react like that. But if you do vomit, know that that probably means you're on your way to a spectacular trip. Right? Yeah. And, you know, just like some of the physical things that you might experience. And then he got up and he talked about some of the other things you might experience. And he was like, I'm going to tell you right now, it's highly unlikely that if you, and he said, by the way, there are people sometimes that do not react to the tea at all. They may. Yeah, I've heard that too. Yeah, that just your body just does not alkalize it like other bodies do and you may experience little or nothing.

And he's like, and if that's you, then she's just not talking to you right now, like the medicine. She's just not talking to you right now. Maybe try it again later, maybe don't, whatever, you know, you'll find out. He's like, but it is likely that you will experience something because these people have been brewing this for hundreds of years in their family, right? It's like a lineage, you know, and then I, like the Tabasco people, they've been brewing it for hundreds of years, and old bourbon bottles. So he says, you, when you go in, and we knew what he meant, when you go in,

you go in, and we knew what he meant, when you go in, you- N-word. Yeah. When you go in, and that's no joke, when you go in, you're likely to go through the wormhole. And what you see on the other side is probably going to be representative of death. Because this is a death. Your ego's dying a death, and you're detaching from your body, and that's really hard for your brain to understand. And while we don't understand all the mechanics of it, just know that some version of death is probably gonna come to you,

and maybe it will come to you a lot. And it's like, now drink this tea. Now drink this tea, have a good time. So I've often said, it was like being invited into the most exclusive party in the world, but there's a good chance you're going to die. It's like, okay, I'm excited, but also, you know, it was scary to me at the time. And the first time I got invited to do it, I was not ready.

I just wasn't. And so, they wanted us to fast for like five days ahead of time, like only drink liquids because that would increase the chances that you would be affected by it and that it would be a powerful journey, you know, I mean, why you need it to be any more powerful? I don't know, because quite frankly, it does fine on its own. But okay. But then the second time I was invited by someone else in a very similar situation, and I was with doctors, lawyers, politicians, a person here in Atlanta that is well known, probably even outside Atlanta well known, like a celebrity type, a personality type. And there were, this is how weird this was. I went into this big cavernous room, the person, the shaman did not speak a lick of English. There was a translator

there. We all sat in a circle. We had a comfortable bedding with us. The lights were turned down low. There were candles. There were paramedics in the room with us, not doing the ceremony. That's how intense at that time people thought this could be and with good reason because I don't think a lot of people die doing ayahuasca. I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility, but you could hurt yourself because you are completely out of your body, completely. And here's how, and without giving away all of the secret magic, here's how it goes. There is a lot of vomiting, there is a lot of bodily fluids, there is a lot of shaking and weirdness, and you go in and out. You go into the wormhole, you come out of the wormhole. You go back into the wormhole, you come out of the wormhole. And

when you come back out, you are still way sauced, but you are now, you are in touch with reality. And when I came in touch with reality, at times people were making noises that I don't know animals make, let alone human beings. It was scary, like, like, ah, ah, ah, ah. Right. Like weird monkey ghost noises. And then, you know, the shaman

and then someone's playing a fucking tambourine, stop that, what are you doing? Like, it's all annoying. And then the shaman, you know, the shaman, and then someone's playing a fucking tambourine, stop that, what are you doing? Like, it's all annoying. And then the shaman, you know, when, I think when the shaman knew you were coming back, he would come over and then he would guide you, right? You know, go into it, feel it, relax, you know, and then sometimes, and then maybe another dose, and then maybe another drink, and then maybe another thing, and then back into it, you go and away you go and a thousand deaths and snakes and dragons and all the fire and death and all this other stuff. But what emerges out of that is something incredibly beautiful and powerful. And that is that every scintilla of matter and anti-matter is connected in some way and you do not, no matter how much you think

you do, you do not live this life isolated energetically from any other thing, including the fucking table in front of you. It is a part of the energetic field. And this is why, even though I am a pragmatic pragmatist, who likes to do Iowa School, even though I am a pragmatic pragmatist, who likes to do Iowa School, even though I'm a pragmatic pragmatist, this is why I do believe in things like the multiverse. Because I think that's my, maybe where I went is to another multiverse, right? I also saw myself, saw, felt, is probably the better word, myself as a child and as a dying human being and as reborn again and going through the birth canal. I didn't necessarily see these things

like in high detail, I don't remember, but I felt it. And the weird thing is- Danielle Pletka Did you see Aaron Rodgers? Jared Sussman I saw Aaron Rodgers and he was three and eight after his grand comeback, and he was on the Pat McAfee show as an ayahuasca enthusiast. Aaron, retire! I can't! The ayahuasca told me to! I've had COVID 12 times! I need to pay for the doctor's bills. Oh, Aaron. I know he's probably just doing what he thinks is best. I don't think Aaron's out to hurt anybody. I just think he's... Whatever. I think he's... We're connected to Aaron.

We're connected to Aaron in some way, shape or form. Though I'll tell you what I'm not connected to is those fucking old ladies driving down the street. Those ladies are in a different universe. You're still mad about that. Oh my God, I can't. Cause now I gotta think about me driving later on today. I gotta go on the same route. I gotta take the kids back to swimming.

And so it's gonna be another obnoxious drive to and fro, I promise you. All right, let's do this. Yeah, let's take a break and then we'll be back with more stories from Brian's life. Bye. Bye. In a shocking turn of events, it's me again, Christina,

your producer and resident rom-com lover here at The Commercial Break. And I just have one thing to say. I'm just a producer standing in front of an audience asking you to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast. Text us or call us and leave us a voicemail because when you realize you wanna spend

the rest of your life with TCB, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. And while you're at it, go to our website, tcbpodcast.com, but you don't have to because we like you just as you are. Now, if you immediately got those references, you're my kind of person, but it's time to take a break and listen to some sponsors and then we'll get back to the show. Speaking of doctor, Dr. Dave.

Now I'm going to let you listen to a news story. I want you to hear this very closely. This is a very interesting doctor out of, oh, here, let me just, I'll play it for you and then you'll know. I think it's Louisiana. You ready? Um, I'm ready. Okay. Or about a Northeast Arkansas physician who had his license suspended. The suspension of Dr. David Diffinay stemmed from a complaint sent into the state medical board in July related to alleged inappropriate sexual contact in one of his medical offices. We sent in a Freedom of Information Act request to the Arkansas State Medical Board to get

access to Diffinay's file. According to the investigators report, Diffinay denied all of the claims listed in the complaint. Macy Davis joins us now breaking down what we learned. The board received the complaint on July 17th. It included multiple video files and we do want to warn you the video is graphic. We have censored it due to the explicit content. Anyone who might be sensitive to this content may want to change the channel. According to board documents, this video was taken in 2019 Diffinay family practice in Blival. In it, Dr. David Diffinay can be seen walking around naked, including in the hallway

between patient rooms. Another video clip sent in shows him in the receptionist area, walking around three women and performing a sex act directly in front of one of the women. The clip ends with him ejaculating on her. According to the documents we received, not only did the woman work in Diffinay's office as a lab tech for another company, she was one of his patients. According to the person who sent the board the videos, this all happened during business hours. Okay, first of all, I don't know what 17-year-old they have doing the news in Blytheville, Arkansas,

but you need to speak up a little bit. Was he on Hiawaska? Yeah, I don't know. He's mumbling a lot of words, but I mean, it is Blytheville, Arkansas, too. And God bless him. I mean, I know he's just getting started off in his career. He looks very young, but he mumbled. And I had to watch the video twice to understand what he was saying a little bit. This Dr. Diffie, right, I think is how they're saying it, Diffie, this Dr. Diffie owns a family practice, and he is a naturist. And he was known on Instagram as Dr. Dave Naked, Dr. Naked Dave. Dr. Naked Dave would often post videos of him in various states of undress because he's a naturist, which means a nudist. He extended that to his family fucking practice,

his medical practice, where he would practice medicine in the nude. He was walking around during the day, business hours, walking around his doctor's office nude, naked. And then, listen, when he did a sex act and then he ejaculated on the woman, that's what you heard, apparently that was consensual, but she was also working there at the time. According to, she didn't make the complaint, somebody else made the complaint. Yeah. Yeah, like, I mean. Anyone else?

But if you watch this video that Chrissy and I just watched, there's like an office, like a back office of a doctor, and there's a couple pizza boxes. Was that like the reception? Yes, at the reception. And Dr. Dave walks in with a hat on and nothing else. But, you know, tan all over, Jan all over, you know what I'm saying? He walks in, he pops the pizza box, starts eating pizza, and the three receptionists are just carrying on work as if nothing is going on. His dick is swinging around the office. That's unbelievable. Oh my God. Now, if you're at a nudist camp and you are the doctor of the nudist camp, okay, cool, dude,

but family practice, this gets my gourd, and I'll tell you why. Nudists, do your thing. I don't have any problem with it. I know that's how we were all born, and I agree to some degree that shaming our private parts, I try not to do it with my own children or my own family. God bless you, you are born that way, let it fly, kids. But there are places where that's appropriate and places where that's not appropriate, right? You know, nudists, I think sometimes take it to the extreme. And one of the places I think they take it to extreme is when they start talking about family naturists, like the entire family is going to go to the nudist village and run around naked. That to me in 2024 seems very odd.

It seems off to me. Like if you want to be a nudist because you're 18 and above and a consenting adult and you get it fine, you bringing your children into that world seems like a recipe for disaster. And then you've got this Dr. Diffie who's swinging around his dick while he's given DDT shots or whatever while he's given DDT shots or whatever while he's given COVID shots. It's crazy. It's crazy. And people complained about this before. And the way the Arkansas Medical Board reacts is like, oh yeah, I think this needs a second look. A second look! The first look was fine! I saw his dick! Put it back

away! What are you doing? How do you let somebody practice medicine like this? I don't know. I don't even know what to say. That is insane that they haven't immediately taken his medical license away is insane. I don't know. I think this is a rather recent occurrence. I just found the story like a week ago. You can't let someone family practice medicine when there's videos of him clearly walking around the office naked in the middle of the fucking business day. No! The dude needs to take his medical license away immediately. Let him be a naturist or a doctor at a nature reserve or whatever they call a nudist camp. let him do that.

Fine. I get that part with consenting adults that also are okay being around other naked people, especially during an exam. Are you kidding? It's embarrassing enough that I got to show my dick. I don't want to see yours, doc. I just don't. That's so strange. That's not what I bargained for. I didn't come in here to see your penis. I came in here to show you mine. I'm surprised that it lasted this long. It's crazy. It is just crazy. Like, what is going on? And you know, and you know, I'm not going to say it. I'm going to say it and then I'm going to get the people all riled up. I'm not going to say it, but you know what I'm thinking if you know me well enough, is that you know

this guy, you know, he's probably on X. That's why I said, what is he on? But also too, okay, so- No, on X, like the platform, X. Or probably on that too, Xstasy. Yeah, got it. So the woman that he consensually had the jack-off situation with in front of the other receptionist? Yes, in front of another receptionist. Now that's not consensual. Yeah. What? No, you don't... I don't think anyone goes to work to consent to watch your boss jack

off on somebody. I mean, that just doesn't happen, right? No. No. No. No. Unless you work at Clear Channel. And then I think you sign a piece of paper just consenting to all kinds of weird shit.

Yeah. Like the time they put a guy in a refrigerator. Do you remember that? Yes. When they cleaned out the refrigerator and they put somebody in there, a small person in the refrigerator, and left him there for 20 minutes. Oh my God. People die that way. Oh my God, those morning show things used to get crazy.

Oh my God, did they get wacky and strippers up there and all kinds of shit. Like, okay, all right, if you're working at a radio station, you gotta imagine some amount of shenanigans. Do you know what I'm saying? But to put it, to put it, this microphone, there is a new microphone right there. And Brian has been just too lazy just to take it two inches over. No, I'm just waiting for the new setup to come. I don't want to break the new one before I get you. Right. That's a good idea. Okay. All right. This is insane. Cross wires.

Dr. Biffany or whatever your fucking name is, dude, do yourself a favor. Just resign. Put us all out of our misery. No one wants to see that. Was he arrested? They say he was arrested? No. No. No. No. No.

I didn't hear anything about arrest. The poor- It's just a complaint. Yeah. The poor newscaster, the woman in Arkansas, she's in charge of, you know, following up on it. So she's knocking on his door. I mean, you can only imagine he shows up at his door with a half hard is like, it's all overblown. Fake news. I mean, honestly, this, I don't know what's going on. Just weird. Yeah, that is definitely a weird, strange case. There are weird people in all professions,

including podcasting. Look at Kristi and I. But we're not walking around the studio naked. And we're not generally hurting anybody. But when there's a weird doctor, it always creeps me out. You know, I always like to think that if you have to get through 30 years of school and interning, you know, apprenticeship and all that other stuff.

And that you- It's like the code of ethics too, right? The Hippocratic oath. Doesn't that involve something to do with us? Do no harm. And I mean, generally, when I think about do no harm, not subjecting people to look at my penis is one of those things I think about. Don't ever let somebody see your penis on purpose. I mean, honestly, and that's just weird. I don't know. And who's going to this doctor?

Well, I don't know. Especially after the first complaint a number of years ago about him being a nudist in the office. Like you would think that you would go, oh, it's Blytheville, Arkansas. I'm sure word got around. Yeah. I mean, Arkansas is very red, quote unquote. So yeah, I'm surprised like some- Very conservative. Religious people weren't all over that to begin with. I don't know, sometimes, you know,

what's good for the goose is not always good for the gander. You know what I'm saying? It's a goose, it's a gander. We talked about this. Yeah, we did. So, you know, whatever. If you live in Blytheville, Dr. Biffany is out of service right now.

Don't go to Dr. Biffany. Biffany. David. David. Dr. Dave. Oh yeah, doc.

You're not prepared for what comes next. No. It's my dick. Spoiler alert, it's my penis. It's Venus. It's coming. Here it comes. Oh, got it on the pizza.

Order another one, corporate credit card. Oh yeah. I have a successful naked practice. Oh man. Yeah, I mean the women weren't naked. It didn't look like. No, because they, and you know, like poor employees of this place, you go, you're in Blytheville, Arkansas, there's probably not, you know, it's not Atlanta, I know that much,

right? I don't know anything about Blytheville. Like, you mean the opportunities? Yeah, there's not, maybe there's less opportunities, so you get a job as a nurse or receptionist. Have they ever been there being paid really well? Yeah, they're probably, I would imagine there's bonuses all over the place. Hey, don't tell the medical board. You got bonus for you, bonus for you.

Bonus for you, bonus for you. Christmas card with my dick on it. Little Santa hat. You're like a beard on my balls. Merry Christmas. Like a boner with a little Santa hat. A beard on the balls. A little face drawn in.

A little rosy cheeks. And. Merry Christmas from Dr. Dave From our family to your check your balls regularly From our from our future family to yours Oh my god, dr. Dave you've taken it to a new level my friends. Yes, but you're welcome on the commercial Here exactly what the fuck you're thinking honestly I'd love to get it. I'd love to get a hold of that story and figure out what in the world

Dr. Dave was thinking when he decided to do a nudist family practice and buy great. It's always a great idea I don't know but apparently he's been doing it for a while. So yeah, you know, he's able to get that far now what I yeah He's able to he's able to take that far. Now what I, yeah, he's able to, he's able to take it this far. The guy's not 22. He looks like he's in his forties. Probably looks like he's, he's my age. What's clear is, or what's not clear, what's clear is he walked around the office naked during, uh, office hours because they have lots of video of it and they, and now it's on social media. What's, and he took pictures of it and he put it on fucking Instagram.

But what's not clear is did he see patients while he was naked? That part is not clear. So while there's- Well, why are you not seeing patients during business hours? Because you know, it's the nudist doctor and no one wants to go to you. Because you were a pretend doctor. I don't know. I don't know. I really don't. You could afford to hire the three, the three ladies that were there. He's got the three ladies working.

They all look like they're working diligently on something. I would be too, just to keep my head down. Honestly, no pun intended. I'd be keeping my head way down, way down, like under the desk. Yes. I'm right here. Hey, Dr. Dave, I'm here, but I'll be under my desk facing the wall with horse binders on.

Dr. Dave. Yeah, that guy's got his own Pat McAfee show going on. Good old Pat McAfee. Good old college football, what else have we talked about? Ayahuasca, Aaron Rodgers. We touched on a lot. We touched on a lot today. Thank you for joining us.

If you're still here. Yeah. I imagine half the audience tuned out during college football and they didn't get the good Ayahuasca story. No. Maybe I should flip those segments around. Christina, tell them it's going to get good. Put a little liner in there and say, it gets good. Don't worry. Punishment and reward, punishment and reward, punishment and reward.
