This is my dear friend and beautiful co-host, Kristen Joy,

hopefully best of you, Kristen. And that's you, Brian. Best of you out there in the podcast universe. Alright Greg, a brat, Brunberg. I see you, and I raise you, my friend. We've spotted you. We've spotted you. We've spotted you. Now, prerequisite, there aren't often a lot of prerequisite

episodes to listen to for the commercial break. We make it that way. We make it because we know that it's unlikely you're going to listen to two episodes in a row. So we make them all compartmentalize so that you can understand no matter when you're jumping in. However, prerequisite, prerequisite, listening is to listen to the last episode

of the commercial break. And I think that's episode 367 if I'm not mistaken. Chrissy and I stumbled upon a very old episode of the Love Connection. We've done 150 episodes of Love Connection. As we do before, we love the Love Connection. Love the Love Connection. Love us some older Chuck Wollery now, not so much.

But back then, he was, seemed like an affable guy. So Chuck brought on stage, a guy named Brad Grunberg. Brad was a complete ass hat. And I mean a huge ass hat. He really was. He, it's hard to explain what happened without going down like a total rabbit hole on the episode, but he picked a girl.

He went on a date with her. He took her to the bus station for ice cream sandwiches. Then he claimed that he took her to the local temple where they wedding crashed a party and got drunk. And she says, we never went to the temple and we never went to a wedding. We never crashed a party didn't happen. We drove by it And you said something about it, but we never left in Brad

Gaslit her so bad. He was like, whatever. I guess she's she's always right. I'm always wrong Whatever. Yeah, right blah blah blah. He basically it appeared to me by my spidey senses takes one to no one bullshitted the entire time and Gaslit this girl to make this situation sound bad for her and good for him Brad was a kind of a roly-poly Dude that he was wearing a crazy outfit wearing an insane outfit. He had like pinstripe pants on with Nike shoes, a yellow polo shirt and a gray blazer. It was the worst outfit I've ever seen on a man. And then he did this whole shtick with Chuck where he was obvious that he was just trying to get attention. And I made mention in the episode. I said, like within two minutes, I said, this guy is been in some, this guy has been an extra on a bunch of movies. He trying to get his big break in a hollywood

and he's proving to the casting directors right now just how good he could be on camera which was not good which was not good at all just like an obnoxious asshole to me well guess what Brian we dog every once in a while even a blind squirrel gets enough because Brian was right blind squirrel gets enough because Brian was right. Brad Grunberg has in fact had a long illustrious career in Hollywood and I say illustrious very liberally. His brother on other hand is brother on the other hand. Greg Grunberg was, let me, let me give you a review. Let's, let's start at the time. Yeah, so we, we, back up. So we found Brad. We found Brad. Right, right after after the show after we finished recording I said I have to find these two people on the computer and

Looked and he was like there. He is. Oh my god. He was like in meatballs for he's a meatballs for he has got an IMDB He's got a he's got an IM DB, but he does not have a Wikipedia page Is brother, however, has a huge Wikipedia page and has done really well for himself. So this is the tale of two Grunbergs here. Now. It was the best of brothers. It was the worst of Grunbergs.

The best of the Grunbergs. The worst of Grunbergs. Ah, ah, ah, ah make mistakes and certainly I know a lot of people, including myself, who at times were assholes. That's just the way that life is. Sometimes you're an asshole and you shake that loose. So I don't know you now, but I can only assume based on your resume that things kind of went the same way in your acting career. Yeah, but his brother on their hand turned out to be a big actor. Huge star. A huge star. And now, not, like, I would say, be list celebrity. He's like, yeah, he's like, the A-list movies. Yeah, let me, I'll share.

I'll share. Okay, let's start with Brad. Brad is the guy from the, from episode 367. You gotta go listen that way you have the full color. He was on that look in action in the 80s. Yeah, the 1983 was the episode that we reviewed. It's all long fucking time ago, 40 years ago at this point. Yes, 40. So let me give you a sampling selected filmography for Brad Grunberg.

Are you ready? Yeah. Going from starting in 1984, so right after he was on the love connection, he was in Revenge of the Nerds. Now you saved yourself, wow, that was a huge hit. It was, but no one expected it to be a huge hit. It was like a sleeper huge hit.

He then goes to Robin Hood Men in Tights. Okay, that was a movie that if you were alive at the time, you'd probably had heard of. Spy hard, another silly mockumentary style bullshit. Strip T's in 1996 with Demi Moore. Really? I guarantee he was an extra. I don't know, it doesn't Moore. Really? I guarantee he was an extra. I don't know, it doesn't say here, but I guarantee he was an extra. Spider-Man in 2002, Austin Powers and Gold members, Miss Congeniality 2, Miss Congeniality 2. Who knew there was a 2? And

by my research, his most prominent role to date has been in the movie. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry, the incredibly bad taste movie where Adam Sandler and that guy from that show, I hate Queen of King of Queens or whatever that was, get together and pretend their gay so they can get benefits for their family or something like that. I don't know what it was. I never watched it. But he plays an extraordinarily large man who gets stuck in a fire and chuck and Larry go and make the prerequisite silly jokes about fat people while they're trying to rescue him from this fire.

But things don't get much better for it. That's kind of the pinnacle of Brad's career there as he goes to Get Smart, which was a much hyped about movie, but it was terrible. Eagle, I never heard of it. That's my boy, the Pac-2 burning dog, through rose-colored glasses, and a bunch of television shows like Lizzie McGuire. I can only imagine he played the fat funny man that came in and made a joke. How I met your mother, I can only imagine he played the fat funny man that came in and made a joke. How I met your mother, I can only imagine he played the fat funny guy that came in and made the joke. Shameless, castle, the guest book. Here's one that I actually found,

sons of Anarchy. So I looked through a lot of these and I tried to find if he had a speaking role. He does have speaking roles in some of these but they're very small speaking parts. Sons of Anarchy, let me give you the breakdown on Brad's. Sons of Anarchy appearance. Okay. They're in the town. Whatever town Suns of anarchy is currently taking over as a motorcycle gang. They're in the town and they go and they offer him some

free, he's a real estate agent. Some one of the gang members is all dressed up nicely like in disguise. He opens the door and he says, hey, I just opened the candy shop next door. Do you want some free fudge and Brad's character responds, I'm diabetic. It's clear he's not diabetic. The guy's like 380 pounds. And so as the guy is leaving, he's like, okay, sorry, you know, and he's like, no, I'll leave it for my customers.

But of course, as soon as the guy leaves, Brad eats the candy. The candy is drugged, so then Brad passes out and the sons of anarchy motorcycle gang comes in, strips him down, is big old, you know, body just laying there. They hire a trans prostitute to come in and have sex with him and they take pictures of it to use against him and a future show. Chrissy, like, okay. So it totally went off the rails. That is Brad's in part. Resim. Are you ready? Let's take a look at Greg. Grun. Brother brother brother two years younger. Let's take a little sampling of Brad's movies.

Are you ready for it? Greg's movies. You ready for this? Yes. Okay. Austin Powers and Goldmember. Same movie his brother was in. Malibu's most wanted. I remember that with Jamie Kennedy. It gets better from there. Mission Impossible 3. Star Trek. Group sex. Star Wars the Force Awakens. He plays the guy who's one of the guy the one of the guys with the tie fighters trying to get the death star right uh... the clover field paradox which is a huge follow-up to the clover field which is you suicide squad hell to pay a star is born star wars rise of the skywalker the fable men's uh... movie that just won a bunch of it didn't just win a bunch of

awards. Okay. His television career, monk, heroes, love bites, Hawaii five o, psych, baby daddy, masters of sex, hell's kitchen. He was a guest on Hell's Kitchen, the Simpsons 911 Low Star. Wait, help Kacen. Is that the one with the one Ramsey? Yes, but he was like a guest, a famous guest on the show. Oh, he was like a judge? Yeah, like a judge, like he came in and ate at the house restaurant.

But he was in heroes, the television show. Remember that, okay? But he's real claim to fame, not only as a... And Star Wars. Star Wars. He was in lost. Whoa. Ailius.

He played one of the main characters on Ailius. These are huge television successes. And if you saw, and I'll ask Morgan to put it on YouTube, dot com slash the commercial break, if you saw Greg Grundberg, I guarantee you would know that face. You would know who he is. He's just that act. He's said it to me Yeah, he's an actor and you'll recognize him right away

You may not have known his name, but now you do because he's brothers with Brad Brad the ass hat or guess it this poor lady now I'm trying to track down this lady because I want her to come on the show and tell us what really happened to that date If she can remember it's 40 fucking years ago Chrissy. Brad, Brad, Brad. Brad, Brad. Brad, Brad, Brad.

Brad news, Brad. We've got you in our crawlshairs now. We got you now. You're in the commercial break crawlshairs. What does that mean? That means at least 27 people across the world. I couldn't know what an asshole you are. Asshole.

You're an asshole. But that is not all. But wait, there's more. Brad was on a string of dating shows. The love connection is not the only show he was on. So because I troll on the internet. He was trying to jumpstart that career. Oh yeah.

Maybe he should have actually jumped started with like a run down the street or something. But because Brian trolls on the internet, as you do, as I do, I was able to get down to the nitty gritty and find him. I pron, the funny thing is, Brad, who I'm sure wrote his own IMDB page, had Jesus, that phone just jumped right out of my hand. So I was trying to show Chrissy something and the phone just jumped. It did, didn't it?

It was like a cricket. I know it was like a ghost. It's got Theresa Caputo sending people over here to fuck us up. That reminds me, just like total side note, I gotta tell you this. Because I've been wanting to say this for weeks and I keep forgetting. Chrissy and I recorded a couple of episodes, like a month ago at this point. We were doing a like a full deep dive, a three episode deep dive on Scientology.

Yeah. And when I pulled the tape, we record into these, these couple systems. When I pulled the tape, we got a noise through the entire thing that made it almost inaudible, like you could not listen to Chrissy and I with this noise that happened across the entirety of all episodes. and Well, that was like an alien So that kind of freaked me out and I decided to put Scientology on the back burner Right, I mean Elron Hubbard. That's what he was writing about was were the alien where the aliens Yeah, and what happened did they come into the studio and actually attack the roadcaster or is it roadcaster saying you owe us $50 monthly payment

for six months? I could have been that. It could have been Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. You're just being glib, Matt. You don't know, Matt. You're not a scientist, Matt. We did a whole deep dive.

A whole deep dive. We did almost a three episodes, I think we did on it. All of them. Was it three episodes? Yeah. Sometimes things work out. Sometimes things work out sometimes things work out And sometimes they don't that one goes in the can the good news is you can't hear anything

So even if I even if the Scientologist come in break into my house and get the server. That's not gonna really matter Back to Brad Let's get to Brad on another notorious dating show Then had so many different forms this dating show is called the dating game. The dating game was like the OG, the original back in the 60s. Let's put people on a blind date. Let's put one person behind a curtain,

have three people just like the, just like the, the ITV. Oh, this is called the dating game. I'm sorry, just like the blind date on ITV. Right. With Celia Black, which is one person, one single person,

is talking to three other single people usually of the opposite sex or certainly of the opposite sex at this time we think they're single yet we actually don't think they're single all i think they're actors is what they are and now i know for sure i mean i always knew it because so many people have said it they were picking from a casting pool essentially but there are many different versions on American TV of the

dating game. There was the original one that was wild and wacky back in the 60s. Then there was one in the 70s. I think Harrison Ford was in one of those and so many other actors and actresses. And there was a version in the 80s. This is 1986. This is a version that's filmed in LA. I'm not sure this was nationally syndicated. It may have only been on television inside of LA because I'm not familiar with this version of the show But of course I was like a you know a tiny little top back then. I can't believe you're not familiar with this version. No I was only 26 years old back then So without further ado

now you tell us this time that you'd like to find a woman who's into paddles that could be true, fellas? yeah um pal tennis um in the 1986 i was in the Palo State Palo County State Championships and I'm looking for a goal to practice with, but what she does with her paddle after we play is her business. That's my make a central example. It's a paddle. Hey Greg, hey Greg, come here, I'm going to practice my sexual innuendos, maybe the 90 game

That's really big of you Brad. No thanks, I'm trying to cut down. Bachelor number three. Tell us your name again. Greg Champion. Greg, right.

You like to live one day at a time, you say? Yes, I work in a tuxedo shop, and one day, a girl came in for their date. I showed her some tuxedos. And the very next day, she dumped him and came in and asked me for the date. Tuxedo. That's the way things happen.

That's exactly the way things happen. In Hollywood, in a writer's room. Yeah, please. You go to get fitted with the seats. Well, I've done that guy and get with the salesman. We say this. Also, I'm just going to flash back for a second of the show, the love connection show, where Brad was Denver, his occupation on that show.

His occupation was dancewear salesman. That makes way more sense now because at the time we were like, what is a dancewear salesman? So it was obviously made up. It was obviously made up as is his, I was a ping pong champion. He gets exactly. Yeah, Brad's not physical activity. He's not Brad's strong suit. And listen, God bless him.

I'm not making fun of him for his weight, but let's just be real about it. He's not a ping pong champion. But this guy, I say that that's not what happens in real life, but this actually did happen to me. There was a girl who I dated, who worked at a boutique dress shop here in Atlanta, and one day I walked in and she was kissing another man and so she

did. That's so nice. That's work out that way. Wow, he's touched. No, I got my own. Guys, good luck today. Well, I'm sorry, Elaine, but you have zero personality for this show. Yeah. Like, you gotta be, it's like the cilia black and the difference between the white yeah cilia's quick and funny and sharpened she's not uh... funny it funny sorry

It's a lot of hairspray. Is it? And curling irons. Isn't that hurt your head after a while? Like just all that hairspray sitting on top of your head? No. No. This is really stuff. Oh, okay. It's got to be. It's not weighty. It's not weighty? Doesn't add, doesn't add pounds to your head? No? Okay. I was wrong. Becky, you have a hobby that most women would love to share, huh?

Oh, I have some guys here that would love to meet you. I'm going to have them say hello. Bachelor number one, say hello to Betsy. Oh, I wonder what she was carrying, but she's carrying a palm.

She's carrying palm palms, yeah. Hi, Becky. See, I wanted to say hi. I didn't really want to say hello because hi is just... Hello is too formal. I want to say hi. So hi, Becky. Hi.

I don't know, but he must know in a future movie he's going to play that exact same character in i now pronounce you chuck and larry the critically panned movie but the critically panned homophobic movie by adam samler and that's the number three

Yeah, it ran at three o'clock in the morning on LA in the 1980s. When they were, because it's years after love connection and I remember love connection. That's right. But this, no. Let me give you an idea of the TV landscape in the 1980s.

Mr. Belvedere was one of the most popular shows. Mr. Belvedere Benson. Benson was good popular shows. Mr. Belvedere Benson. Benson was good, I like Benson. I just thought of something. I wanted to name a person that I thought somebody could get an idea of what Brad looks like. Chris Christie is who Brad looks like. Oh my God, you're exactly right.

He looks like a younger Chris Christie. Yeah, that's a good visual. But the exact same face face the exact same size everything Christy and Brad or twins Brad the cocktail Christy Brad the cocktail Christy Cock period tail period Christy My cock in your tail still a virgin by the way

He was a virgin. Yeah yeah that's what he said okay that's my number two if my worst nightmare came to you i'd be second elevator with the guy who had claustrophobia what would happen to you if your worst nightmare came true well first you have any ranch dressing?

That'd be a funny one. Let's do that. I stuck this boneless wing in my shoe. In my sock. I got this for Chili's five weeks ago. I put it in my stack. It's ready to go. I got props, baby. Props. When you're working with props on a dating show, it's just like the guy who did Austin Powers on the Celia Black dating game. Never do props. Leave the props at home when you're on the dating show yeah yeah i

was stuck in a cardboard box with a guy who had a rash because i break out high all the time and i don't need a guy like that around me you like that rashes i just broke out wow wow this reminds me of a guy we knew we knew we don't me of a guy we knew. We knew.

We don't know him anymore, but we knew. I knew I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He tried way too hard and he took it over the line every time. And once he got going, you couldn't shut him up. Because it was like one embarrassing joke led him to want to cover that up with another embarrassing joke. And it just went down a rabbit hole all night long.

And by the end of the night, everybody was like, can you get that guy away from us? And I felt bad for him. I really did. I was like, dude, you just got to like, try not talking next time. It just, yeah, be mysterious. Mysterio.

He's faster than everyone. I absolute worth nightmare is happening as we speak. I would never wanna have a fight. True, yeah, he's next to two assholes and he's losing He's next to two of the worst singles that ever lived and he's losing That's what I'm doing the close He's pulling out all kind of chicken and stuff. He's just not going to let the bit go. He thinks it's so funny. He thinks he's so funny.

It's a terrible show and now I know why I know why we never knew about it is because it never made it past late night television in Los Angeles. No, and so I did not get picked up for some occasion. No, and I guarantee you that it was,

this is Greg, the Brad who put this up online himself. Huh? Huh. I mean, it's kind of on hold. Oh Wow, yeah, they actually they actually play the music while she thinks about who she's gonna choose She scratched her head. Yeah, do you know that the time would never be wasted like that on television in 2023 never never would you allow 15 seconds of music to go by with a shot of some lady thinking Never, never would you allow 15 seconds of music to go by with a shot of some lady thinking. Okay, man, now Becky, this is it. You choose one of our bachelors.

I know your eyes are going to like this. Help me. Will it be Bachelor number one? Bachelor number two? Or Bachelor number three? Who's going to be the lucky guy? I think it's going to be Bachelor number two. Oh! Oh!

Back to our number two. Get ready for the old 75 25 split. Oh yeah, the 75 25 split. He said on the love connection that women were not his equal until they did extra curricular

activities. Yes, he said until they do some extra curricular activities to prove it. Then they get that extra 25%. I guess he never made it to 50 50 because he wasn't laid. He was a virgin Why did you choose bachelor number two? Well, he sounds like he's a very Let's make the two you didn't choose first all right.

Yay. The crowd is going crazy. You got to understand why The crowd is going crazy. You got to understand why the crowd is going crazy is because two relatively handsome men just walked off stage and Brad is probably not going to be categorized in that way. Certainly not by the audience. The audience is like, this guy is a total fucking goob. Like he's never going to be wanted by this beautiful cheerleader. She already knows.

She already knows by the way that the audience is reacting. she's like, fuck, I chose the wrong one. Somebody get somebody get the medic. Okay. She's thinking what do I have to do? What do I have to do? I know. What do I have to do to get out of this? One day. One day. They don't get to go on one day. It's like they don't go on a date. It's not what happens. They just go home.

Yeah, he's trying to get the attention of the casting directors. He's already been in, in revenge of the nerds. What does he need to do, what does he need to do this show for?

Oh, there you go. I'm gonna take this, hey, I have a good time. I kind of do feel bad a little bit for Brad though because even the girl is making faces at him. She's like, oh man, god damn it. You're now going to a week in Cuba! Cuba! Cuba! Cuba! What's that? Oh, she's horrified. She's mortified. The good news is I actually don't think they have to go on any day.
