The Commercial Break - Bryan Got It Wrong, Yeah!

Episode Date: May 9, 2025

Episode #745: Bryan and Krissy arena rare form , and chaos is on the menu—served with a side of mistaken identity and a heaping scoop of AI-generated nonsense. In this episode, Bryan nearly crashes the show with a rogue software update, accidentally confuses Bill Belichick with Bill Bellamy (yes, really), and proudly unveils a brand-new jingle segment: “Bryan Got It Wrong… Again.” But it’s not all confusion and caffeine—there’s a revealing look behind the scenes at how AI (hi, ChatGPT!) now fuels their frantic interview prep for the 12 Hours of TCB. The team digs into their no-holds-barred approach to interviews, jingle writing, and life on a podcast that makes exactly zero dollars and thrives in beautiful disarray. Mistakes were made. Jingles were born. Nobody’s sleeping in this episode of The Commercial Break. The episode opens with a race (literally) to the studio Bryan’s Mr. Bean impression meets studio disaster A rogue computer update nearly tanks the whole production Astrid calls Bryan out on a missing episode (before sunrise!) Bryan puts episodes out “at midnight for your pretty little ears” Bill Belichick vs. Bill Bellamy: The mix-up of the century A new segment debuts: Bryan Got It Wrong… Again! Bryan explains how ChatGPT helps with guest research and jingle work Krissy tries to keep Bryan focused—it almost works Behind-the-scenes of the 12 Hours of TCB interview marathon Why TCB interviews are more barroom banter than biographical deep dives The team’s low-budget, high-effort approach to comedy podcasting “You’re not talking to Terry Gross—this is The Commercial Break” TCB Intro Clips: Hawley Smoot Tariffs didn't work!

It was like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,

beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep know, man boobs, like, yeah, at least I have my underwear on. So then she comes in and she was like this.

She literally put her hands like horse blinders. And she's like, I just want to make sure no one else is in here. And I'm like, no, I'm the only, I'm the only old fat guy you're going to see today. So thank you. All right. I mean, she was like young too. And I think she was like, Oh God, this is not, I don't get paid enough for this. Exactly.

I don't get paid enough to look at this guy, Nick. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Hey, you. Hey, you. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Holdley. Best of you, Chris. That's Brian. Best of you welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Ryan Green, this is my dear friend and co-host of the show. Kristen Joy Holdley, best of you, Kristen.

Best of you, Ryan. Best of you out there in the podcast universe. Why not start off with a race? A race? Do you remember that movie with Mr. Bean, like the great race, or whatever it was called? Yes, that's right. I don't know, for some reason I remember finding that,

thinking I found that movie extraordinarily funny as mr. Bean ran around and goes he's a race I Just like raced to the chair to put my earphones on and Fix all the things that are wrong with the studio because that's just the way it goes here the commercial break old updates Yes, good old updates updates almost took a salt One simple computer update almost took the entire show down. Astrid called me this morning. She goes, um, did you put out an episode this morning? And I'm like, yeah, of course. I always put out an episode.

You know, I'm pretty timely with that stuff. I always put out an episode, but I in fact did not put out an episode this morning. So, some listeners recognize that and text it in. Chill out. It was like eight o'clock in the morning. What are you guys doing up so early? Fuck that. Fuck that, it's too early.

I put them out at midnight on the dot just for you. So when you wake up in the morning and your pretty little ears are waiting for Brian to scream and yell at you, you've got it ready to go. That's how it is, Chrissy. I know it is. The trains must run on time. They might have, the trains must run on time.

They might have been over across the pond. They might be across the pond. That's right. In a race. In a race. In a race. We were talking about before right when we came on air, we were talking about this whole Bill Belichick thing,

which I mistakenly thought was the Bill Bellamy thing. Chrissy said, have you heard of the Bill Belichick thing? And I go, who fucking cares about Bill Belichick? And she goes, Bill Belichick's girlfriend? And I go, Bill, the old MTV VJ? Right. Does anyone really care about the old MTV VJ? He was hot for a while.

He was hot for a while. Brian got it wrong, yeah. Brian got it wrong, yeah. Brian got it wrong, yeah. Brian got it wrong again. Ah, that's a new one. Brian got it wrong, yeah. Brian got it wrong, yeah. Brian got it wrong, yeah.

Yes, Brian got it wrong again. So, will it ever end? Brian got it wrong, will it ever end? Probably not. That's a great one. There's another one in there too. So, will it ever end? I got it wrong, will it ever end? Probably not. That's a great one. Where did you find that? There's another one in there too. Will it ever end?

Did you have this made? Yes, I did. Let me tell you what happened. Let me tell you what happened. So chat GPT, you know, we're all getting a little used to this AI thing and we're all trying to figure it out. So chat GPT is we're moving into doing 36 interviews in one month because of the 12 hours of TCB and it just happens to be interview season.

I have trained AI to do one thing really well. And it's really the only thing that I use it for, well, there's two things that I use it for. One is I ask it to do chapters on our show. So I'll say, hey, can you take this file and do chapters on the show that I can then put into YouTube or into our hosting system called Megaphone.

The other thing that I ask it to do is I ask it to do is I ask it to do deep research on our guests because that's a really hard thing to do. We used to have like five people doing the research for the guests. And since we make no money here, we can't afford those five people anymore.

So what I said, what I trained Chad GPT to do was anytime that we have a guest, I ask it to go do deep research on the guest. And then a couple of days ahead of time, I can start digesting that information, going and watching links and specials and the highlights of someone's career, which, you know, we don't tend to be like, if you listen to the commercial break, then you'll know that our interviews are not the, this is your life type of interview, which a lot of people do, but we don't have the time. We only request an hour from our guests

because quite frankly, that's all the, that's my attention span limit is one hour. But also we don't wanna tax the guest with some lengthy interview, especially when we don't know them. And a lot of times they've already done it somewhere else. They've done it a million times somewhere else. It's like, okay, recount, how did you get started?

Yeah, exactly. I want to get something else out of them. I would rather pretend like I just met them at a bar and we were having a conversation. If you met Margaret Cho at a bar or Kyle Kanane at a bar, you met Margaret Cho at a bar? At a bar, yeah, Barcelona down in Edmond Park. Oh, that's right. You did say that to her when she came on. But if you met Kyle Kanane or Margaret Cho,

Des Bishop, Hannah Berk, whoever, what a name the person that we've had on the show. If you met them at a bar, you wouldn't say so. You started your career in 1983 with a cameo appearance on Silver Spoons. I mean, you just wouldn't do that. Right. Where were you born? Yeah, where were you born? What were your parents like?

Tell me about your journey to get to comedy. Right. I mean, no offense to anyone who does interviews like that. And some people quite frankly think my own interview style is really obnoxious. And I've heard it. So you don't have to text in and say it again. I've heard it. Trust me, the ones that are, the comments that are terrible are the loudest and I hear them.

But in any case, we just have conversa- even sometimes the agents, especially with the bigger names, they'll write in and they'll say, can we get some questions ahead of time? So we're prepared. And we have a stock response, Astro just cuts and pastes it. Brian and Chrissy like to have a conversation with our guests. In other words, we're too dumb to have an actual interview with them and too scared to ask them the tough questions. So we're just going to talk to them about whatever's on our mind. But I find that that often leads to a more interesting conversation. And at least those who like the commercial break have,

some of them have said so. So we'll keep doing that because that's easy. So, Hey, can you, but I like to be informed about the guests. There are a lot we've had, I think Astrid counted them. We've had 68 guests on the show so far. And I just want to know who they are, especially if they're not in my purview, like my everyday feed or whatever. Okay. All right. So, chat, here's how I'd like the deep research done. Here's what I like. Please go do this. Okay, so then the other day I asked, we're having an AI system transcribe all of the episodes

and put the transcript on a server so that we can, like when I say, okay, I'm gonna do a best of about Frankie B, or we're gonna do the 12 hours of TCB, I wanna pull some clips. I can search through the transcripts real quick and pull up all the references. Yeah, look at us, look. Yeah. Look at us. Look at us.

Look at us. Yeah. So. With all of this leading to the fact that you got chat. Yeah, but listen, okay. So chat, so I'm asking this AI system to do it. So I say, hey, please tell me what some of the most, the biggest running themes of the show are.

And what I wanted it to tell me is, what are the things we've talked about most? Like mountain monsters, whatever. You know what it said? Brian gets it wrong. Number one theme. Brian gets it wrong. And so I was like, so I literally responded to it.

I need a song for that. And it goes, I can help create a song for that. Here are some suggestions. So I wrote the lyrics and then I said, okay, make me a song in this style. Make it 80s cheese rock. And there it goes. I wrote a song about Jackie Beans.

I wrote a song about Bestie U. I've always wanted to have like this kind of like, you know, fun songs on the show. Yes. But it's really expensive to get musicians to do it. And I've paid some musicians and it's failed miserably. It's just been terrible. I mean, terrible, but God bless them.

They're trying to take what's inside my head and put it on sheet music. It's really hard to do that. So if you're a musician out there and you'd like to work with us bless them, they're trying to take what's inside my head and put it on sheet music. It's really hard to do that. So if you're a musician out there and you'd like to work with us and you think you get the commercial break, text me 212-433-3822. I'd rather work with a musician. But anyway, I was just having fun.

In a pinch I use chat GPT or some offshoot of chat GPT. So there you go. Our new house band is chat GPT. So there you go. Our new house band is chat GPT. Every musician in our audience just turned off the commercial break. We just lost every one of them. Hey, listen, I'm sorry guys, I'm just having fun. And you know, when you find a tool that's cool,

then you use it. And you know, I don't want to shy away from using the tools that every other human being is currently using. I... I know, I need to get back into it. I went to a massage yesterday. So Astrid got me a surprise massage. That's for you.

So listen to this. Okay, and then we'll get to Bill Bellamy's girlfriend. Right. Well, I think it's old news anyways, so. It is old news, but I think it's worth talking about. It's weird. The whole situation is strange. But who am I to cast dispersions?

But anyway, I wake up on Saturday morning, Astrid's all of a sudden there's a calendar notification. You're invited to a 90-minute massage on this day. She's a gem. I know. And we had gotten these gift cards for Christmas. But I kept refusing to go, because I was like, you know when you have kids,

all of a sudden everything gets deprioritized, financially, everything. New shoes, new clothes. I used to buy a new wardrobe. When me and, when Astrid and I first met, I'd buy a new wardrobe every two months. But now, I don't think I've, I think this is the same T-shirt I've been wearing

all five seasons, six seasons. So she keeps saying, go get the massage, go get the massage. And I say, no, we have gift cards. I know, but then it's like a $70 tip. And by the time you leave and they want some fucking cream they want you to have and some special bunion sauce or whatever, by the time you leave, it's $700. Bunion sauce. Bunion sauce.

So I'm walking out the door. So if she finally just says- Was it to the place that you went the last time with the weird curtains and things? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is to a place I really like. Oh, nice. A really nice spa in a really nice location.

Like a good solid spa, a type of place you would want to go. Is it the best I've ever been to? No, that would have been in when we went to the wedding and we went to that, like, whatever it was, ancient Greek massage place. You were like up on the top. We were up on the top and some guy was throwing ice into there. The ice machine was dumping into the pool.

So I'm getting ready for the massage and then I'm about to leave and I say, hey babe, thanks very much, I really appreciate it. She goes, no problem. And I hope you have a great time and I got you the masseuse you like. And I said, oh, well, who's the masseuse I like? She goes, well, last time you went,

you said you had a great massage. And so I asked for the masseuse that you had last time and she happened to be available and there you go. And then it dawned on me that the last time that I went to this place three or four months ago, I actually had a terrible time because the masseuse wanted to play 50 questions while we were having a massage and she didn't give a massage. She was like breathing on my back. Right. Or the worst is just the rubbing of the lotion.

That's it. That's all she was doing. Yeah, the oil. I remember telling this story, she also was wearing gloves. So she's wearing gloves. She's doing the oil that she's just spreading around my back.

And she's really spending a lot of time just conversating. It seems like this was her hour of break that she's just spreading around my back and she's really spending a lot of time just conversating. It seems like this was her hour of break and I happened to be scheduled during it. Do you know what I'm saying? Now listen, massages are like food or like sex or like dating. Not everybody's gonna be, or the commercial break,

it's not for everybody. Not everybody's gonna be the same. Not everybody has the same style or taste. It's very personalized. Like every masseuse is different. But I instantly get this picture in my head of this lady who I really just did not like, not her, but the massage, the experience I did not like. And I go, Oh, thanks, babe. You know, she was like, No, really? I said, Actually, I think this lady was really kind of obnoxious last time I was there.

I did not like her at all. And so now I'm freaking out a little bit and Astrid's freaking out. I know, right? Astrid was so excited. But also, you don't want to blow a couple hundred dollars. Now I'm not getting a 50 minute massage. I'm getting a 90 minute massage, double the time, double the aggravation as far as I'm concerned.

So I explained to Astrid, and then I said, but you know what, it's a massage, and it's better than sitting here and listening to the kids screaming, listening to Blue bark at me. So I'll take it. Like, I'm not gonna complain, no worries. She said, let me call the place.

You know, I will call the place, I will find another masseuse, don't worry. I go, listen, it's an 80, 90 minute massage. They don't, there's only like three of those available a day. They're not gonna have some other person that's gonna be able to fill in. And I'll probably get some dude that wants to fucking break my back.

No, just don't worry about it. I'm good. I'll just tell her at the beginning, like you do on an Uber ride. Yeah, I want deep tissue. I want, yeah, I want deep tissue. Deep tissue, no talk, 70 degrees. No talky, no ticky, no tacky, 70 degrees,

deep tissue, pick me up at the bar. Raphael. So she's like, I'm on my way out the door, I'll call, no, don't worry about it, don't worry about it. So I get in the car and I'm driving there and I'm a little like- Anxious. Anxious is the right word to say.

I'm not upset, but I'm also not totally relaxed because I'm remembering this experience and I'm thinking not totally relaxed because I'm remembering this experience and I'm thinking if I had to do this for 90 minutes and kind of bat this lady back with all her questions, great. So as I'm pulling in. I wonder if you could put like in your earbuds too, maybe just to kind of be like, hey, look, I just want to listen to my own music.

I'm sure you could. I'm sure you could. Wow, okay. I'm sure that nobody would ever probably put your beats on or whatever. But, you know, might get in the way. You put your head down in that pillow and they might fall off. So I'm pulling in and I remember that I'm not that good of remembering because two times. Because... Brian got it wrong again! Brian got it wrong! Brian got it wrong again!

Brian got it wrong again! That's exactly where I was going with it. So, pulling in... Brian got it wrong! Yeah! I love it. When is it gonna end? When is it gonna end? I wrote the lyrics, by the way. I love it. I think it's great. When is it gonna end? When is it gonna end? I wrote the lyrics, by the way.

I love it. So there you go. I just had to repeat, Brian got it wrong. Yeah, Brian got it wrong. So I'm pulling in and I go, but two times ago, I had a really, really good massage. Wait, what was that? Was that the last time or was that two times ago?

Was it two times ago that I had a bad massage or was it last time that I had a bad massage? Now I can't remember. Now I'm all screwed up in my head. So now I'm basically playing masseuse roulette. And I know for a fact that the lady I had with the bad massage had an accent, like a foreign accent that would be very recognizable.

So I get into the place, I go, I change, I lock myself out of my locker. So I'm in my underwear and I have to like open the door and hope that an employee walks by. I actually did that when we were down in Tulum. I forgot the code when I got back to the locker. I just locked it and you have to press in the numbers before you lock it or else it's the last person's code.

And so then, and then it just started yelling at me. It was like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, red, red, red. And I was like, OK, all right. So here I am, you know, with fat, you know, man boobs. Yeah, at least I had my underwear on. So then she comes in, and she was like this. She literally put her hands like horse blinders. And she's like, I just want to make sure no one else is in here.

And I'm like, no, I'm the only old fat guy you're going to see today. So thank you. All right. I mean, she was like, I just want to make sure no one else is in here. And I'm like, no, I'm the only old fat guy you're going to see today. So thank you. All right. I mean, she was like young too. And I think she was like, oh God, this is not, I don't get paid enough for this. Exactly. I don't get paid enough to look at this guy naked.

So I get in, I go, I sit, I'm sitting in the waiting room. You know, they have a fire going, no matter how hot it is outside, these people have a fire going in the waiting room. But fine, whatever, it's nice and it's relaxing. And cucumber water. And cucumber water. There's some ladies trying to talk to me, and she's like, so, you here for a massage? And I go, no, I'm sitting in a robe.

I'm sitting in a robe waiting to get my oil changed. What are you doing? Am I here for a massage? No, I just come here every Tuesday to enjoy the fire and get free lemon and sage water. I go, no, okay. All right. So, people are getting called one by one.

I'm there just a couple minutes early. Door opens. Brian? And to my relief, there's no foreign accent. And I'm like, okay. All right. Thank God. I think this is the one. And I turn the corner and, all right, thank God. I think this is the one.

And I turned the corner and I recognized it's the lady that I really enjoyed the massage with the last time. That she was a pro. She knew exactly what she was doing. Enough pressure to get the knots out. I don't mind a deep, like I don't mind you getting in there with your elbow because my back is a hot mess. Like a lot of people, you know, like a lot of people,

I'm not the only one in the world with knots in their back and holding your stress in your shoulders and your lower back. Oh God, no, I love it. So I tell her this funny story, so we're talking, she's asking, she's like, okay, I think I remember and okay, we'll get that and we'll do your whatever. And I'd say, hey, listen, I gotta tell you a funny story.

On the way here, my wife tells me this, I tell her the whole story. And she goes, oh my God, that's so funny. And I go, yeah, and you know, it was just like the whole time she was talking the entire time. And that was just made it like a little bit uncomfortable. Okay, fast forward to 90 minutes later, the two of us yackles have not shut up

the entirety of the 90 minutes. Not one moment of silence in the entire massage. The two of us were just yucking it up the entire time. I could tell already the fact that you're like, let me tell you about this story. It's just like, I just demonized this poor girl in my head because she would not shut up. And I would not shut up the entire massage. I talked the entire time. The entire time. I mean, honestly, I left and I was like, oh, that was like, and she gave me a great massage, by the way.

And we were laughing and joking and, you know, having fun and talking about wild, weird stuff. She was like telling me about how she believed that Chris Rock was slapped on stage because the Masons hit a rock. and it was like a symbology of some sort. I mean, listen, not my flavor of conspiracy theory, but okay, it's each their own. She told me what shoes I should be wearing when I was running.

She explained that there's a pillow that can help me with my pain. She had a large variety of conversation. Sounds like it. And it was great. I just chatted it up. I felt like I did an episode of the commercial break is really what I felt like. And it was good. I had a great win and she gave me a great massage in the meantime.

And you know, so I want to say to the masseuse who will never listen to this show and never understood that I give them care for that massage, that I'm sorry I demonized you for talking so much because I turned around and did the exact same thing after I told the lady that I was upset for the last massage. Well, in your defense. So when you're getting a good massage, then it's your, it feels good. You're talking, it's fine. I'm relaxed. I'm good. When you're getting a bad massage, that's like all you can focus on.

Yes. Really is. It really is. I think good. But you're getting a bad massage. That's like all you can focus on. Yes. It really is. It really is. I think I was sharing this with my missus, who I won't name. And by the way, now she knows the show. She's probably listening to this, right? We might need her in a pinch. No pun intended.

I might need her in a pinch. I said to her, I think people who do the services for us in general are like little angels. We agreed on one thing and talked about this quite a bit. Everybody should spend some portion of their life, maybe three to five years at least of their life working in some service oriented business. 100%. Retail, hotel, restaurant. Be on the other side.

Be on the other side. So that you have just a little bit more empathy for the people who are bringing your food, making your coffee, doing your dry cleaning, serving you at the hotels, the restaurants, the resorts. That's like all I did. Me too. Up until, you know, I got the quote unquote real job.

The real job was a clear channel knocking on dry cleaner doors. It was after college, the advertising agency. So, you know, that was kind of like, oh, the big thing. But yeah, and in a pinch, you know, you can always go back to it. You can always go back to it. I had considered it a couple times during the run of the commercial break. to it. I had considered it a couple of times during the run of the commercial break. Me too. In fact, I need to talk to you later. Okay. Are you going to go back to doing restaurant work? Yeah. It's one of those things that you can always rely on and one of those things that gives you some perspective about what it's like to do service for others, even if that is

you're getting paid. Bad tippers have never worked in a restaurant, never. Guarantee it, guarantee it. Love some of my family members, but a few of them are terrible tippers. And it drives me crazy. And I cringe every time we go out to eat with these people specifically,

because I know I'm going to have to make an excuse, go back. I always bring an extra, sometimes I'll even bring like, if I know I'm going to have to make an excuse, go back, I always bring an extra, sometimes I'll even bring like, if I have it, cash, so that I know I gotta go back, run, and give an extra tip, because I know what's about to happen. They're gonna give five or 10%

because they don't believe, and all of their children worked in the service business. And these masseuses are a special type of angel, because they touch my nasty ass body to make me feel better for 90 minutes with their hands. That takes a lot of energy, effort, and just patience to do that with people. And good training.

And good training and constant learning and knowing the body. Listen, this girl was lovely and she gave me a great massage and I wasted, well, maybe I didn't waste 90 minutes of her life, maybe I made it go a little bit quicker because I just decided to yak it up. Sounds pleasant. I don't know, like I was so upset about having to be in a talkative mood for the other girl,

I got in a talkative mood and just decided to chat it up with her. So anyway, all right, let's talk about Bill Bellamy's and Belichick's girlfriend on the other side of the break. We'll be back.

We talked about that, I think, what? A year ago. A year ago, yeah. Back in Christmas time, because it was Thanksgiving Day, I think, that he was kind of caught on

a Ring cam, like leaving some shitty apartment complex in his underwear or something. Yeah. In a bathrobe. He looked like Brian leaving the masseuse. And so, you know, rumors fly as they do. And then fast forward. Now it's well known because they've taken a lot of photographs together. Bill Belichick has just- And she was in a commercial, remember? She was in a commercial. Oh yeah, like a Doritos commercial or something. Yeah, something like that. Cheetos, Doritos, Pizza Hut, Domino's.

I don't know, one of those commercials. She was. And in an obvious ploy to either jump on the zeitgeist or get her some money that she needed, Bill kind of wrapped her into his world. And so, you know, since then there's been some, I'd say probably strange things that have happened regarding Bill Belichick, a notoriously private person, a notoriously quiet person who led the Patriots with the help of Tom Brady to seven Super Bowls, I think something like that.

I'm not a Patriots fan, so I don't really know all the numbers, but nor am I really good at sports, so don't... Hold on one second. So Bill Belichick, this kind of notoriously like hermit crab of a human being starts popping out of the woodwork, including jumping on social media, TikTok and Instagram, to start accounts at the behest of Jordan and starts posting pictures of them going to now these like kind of Hollywoodish events. And doing yoga. Like he, there was something where he was like holding her up. Oh yeah.

She was doing some kind of yoga. Yeah. I saw that. Yeah. Yeah. And on the beach, holding her up by his feet, you know, she was flying in the air, you know, as Instagram influencers are prone to do. 74 year old former Patriot head coach's influencers are prone to do. It's all very odd. I am not here to cast dispersions on the age of a relationship as long as it's legal. I don't, as long as it's legal, legal and appropriate are two totally different things in my mind. Is it appropriate? I don't know. I guess that's legal, legal and appropriate are two totally different things in my mind. Is it appropriate? I don't know.

I guess that's up to them. You can't really help who you fall in love with, I guess, at the end of the day. I'm not saying a 75-year-old should be with a 25-year-old, but I'm not saying it shouldn't happen either. I just don't know. It's not the first time. It won't be the last time. Oh, God, yeah.

And obviously the angle here that a lot of people think is that she's after his fame and riches because she's a relatively unknown human being who jumps into the Bill Belichick spotlight, actually jumps into the Bill Belichick void, really. He's nowhere to be found. He's not out at like, you know, Spago or Lago. He's not at L, having yuckles with fucking Conan O'Brien. That's not what Bill Belichick does. But all of a sudden he writes a book, he's on CBS News This Morning, he's doing interviews, he's showing up at nightlife places, he's out and about on town, he's going to Hollywood Red Carpets, and all with Jordan right in tow.

He's acting as his publicist, his PR person. This is all- Oh, she's acting as his PR person. I didn't realize that part. That's what she said she was doing, was acting as his, she's now part of his team, quote unquote. Okay. She's managing the situation.

It's not hard to get Bill Belichick in interviews since he notoriously doesn't do them. All you have to do is pick up the phone and ask anybody if they'd like to have Bill Belichick on and they're going to say yes. He's a seven time Super Bowl winner. He's a seven time Super Bowl champ. Some people might argue one of the better coaches that's ever existed. But he, again, is totally oblivious to any of this star-lit, star-power type of bullshit. Oblivious or maybe willingly doesn't do it

until Jordan shows up and now he's out there on the scene. So, so what do we make of this? I don't know. Well, I mean, I guess the thing that I wanted to bring up was that CBS morning thing, where, you know, they're doing the interview and then the interviewer asks Bill, so, you know, hey, tell me how you guys met again. And I guess she really jumped in and said, we're not talking about that. We don't talk about that. We're not answering about that.

And I guess people were kind of like, why? I mean, I wonder why, why not? Why not say we met here, we met there, who knows? I mean, a lot of people meet on apps now and it's fine. There's nothing wrong with where you met. It seemed more suspicious to jump in and say, you don't, we don't, we don't talk about it. That's right. I agree with you on this. I agree with you that it leads to suspicion.

You know, the mind abhors a vacuum, and that's how all of these crazy conspiracy theories get started is when the answers are not 100% clear, why would she not wanna answer that? I can think of a few things. Maybe they did meet on an app. Maybe they met on an app that they don't want people to know about, like sugardaddy.com or something like that.

Or OnlyFans or something. Or OnlyFans, yeah. Or maybe Bill was trolling Facebook for young women. I don't know. It's hard to know because they don't say. Or maybe there is a friend or a family member that was involved in the meeting of these two that wants to remain nameless. And you know, the heat's going to be on them if they say, well, we met through X and Y.

And then that person, of course, is going to be hounded by the tabloids and the paparazzi trying to figure out what the real story is. So maybe they're just trying to protect the innocent. Listen. I mean, I don't really care. But it was in my news feed. That is like my bottom line about this. There is a story here.

20-75-year-old former Super Bowl champ, head coach, meets 25 year old, nobody, you know, kind of rags to riches story, so to speak. That kind of meeting a prince, an old prince, a king if you will, yes, like King Charles, like, is way out the door. That kind of story, but at the end of the day, who cares? I mean, is Bill Belichick really the guy that we're interested in knowing all about his love life? No. There are so many other, Bill Bellamy, actually.

I know, that's what I was just looking at. Is more interesting. Yeah, where is Bill Bellamy now? I don't know where Bill Bellamy is. Well, it made me think, and I looked it up. He's been in some movies and stuff, I think. Has he? Bill Bellamy is a former MTV VJ from the 90s, I believe.

Yeah. And if I'm not mistaken, he was part of the Woodstock 99. He went to Woodstock 99. I think he was part of that coverage when they all had to like run out of the place because people were literally losing their shit and turning it into a riot. Oh my God. Well, this is really funny. I mean, this is so funny how stuff comes together.

So here in my news, when I did a lookup, it says Bill Bellamy talks comedy, MTV days and his top Billin comedy stuff for the first time in almost 20 years. Oh, he's back on the scene. Bill Bellamy returns. Okay, yeah. This is from nine days ago. Bill Bellamy making a comeback. Yeah, he was part of that deaf comedy jam.

He was part of the deaf comedy jam. But honestly, Bill Bellamy hasn't been heard from in 20 years. He created or coined the phrase booty call. Oh, he did. Okay, well there you go. Bill Bellamy, more interesting than Bill Belichick on any day of the week. Yes. I mean, at the end of the day, we're talking about it

because everybody else is talking about it. But I really don't care how Jordan and Bill met. It's not of interest to me. Like, even if they say they met on a Sugar Daddy website, OK. All right. Listen, Bill seems to me like a guy who's just all consumed with his job, 24 hours a day, seven days a week,

always recruiting, always thinking up the next play, always riding Tom Brady's patootie, like those two just hand in hand having conversations. Thinking out ways to read lips. Yeah, long, yes, that's right. Figuring out ways to plant people, figuring out ways to deflate footballs. Like there's a lot of different things

that I imagine go into being a head coach of a football team. And so it's probably all consuming. And I would bet that if you would ask, 90% of the wives of head coaches of professional football teams or even college football teams don't see a lot of their husbands for about nine months a year. And so it's a hard thing to have a really start a relationship when you're a head coach of a professional football team. Well, he's done. And now he's trying to recapture some of that youth that he had 50 years ago, but that's okay. Whatever.

I mean, cool, dude. All right. Yeah, as long as everybody's cool and the kids are cool. I'm cool with it. Because I think I would have a, me personally, this is just me personally, I think I would have a problem with my dad dating someone much younger than me.

Well, that really is, I think, the challenge. But, each to their own. Yeah, but does Bill Belichick have children is the question. He does? I think he does, yeah. the challenge when you're... But, it's to their own. Yeah, but does Bill Belichick have children is the question. He does? I think he does, yeah. So, speaking of like head coaches, did you hear about the guy who was supposed to go

like in the first round of the draft, Deandre Sanders? Yes, of course. That was a local place. And then our Falcons guy, we've got, they made a stupid call, prank call. Shadour Sanders was supposed to go, and I know this is going to bore people who don't want to pay attention to football, but I think this kind of breaks outside of just the football world. And this story, by the way, is a couple of weeks old.

You heard it here first on the commercial break. Best to you, best to you, best to you, best to you. You got all kinds of surprises today. Oh wait, there's one big surprise I'm keeping for you. I'm sorry, I just played with it all morning long and I was having fun. I thought that was good. That's a good one. Best to you, best to you, a good one. Best to you.

Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Okay. A little electronic keyboard in there. I said make it Cynthia and Poppy.

Shidhar Sanders, who is Neon Deon Sanders' son is a quarterback, talented quarterback who by some accounts had a really good season of college football. And he was a boulder. Colorado. Yeah, and yes, that's right. He played for his dad. He was the head coach, yeah. So a lot of people, including the prognosticators who do this kind of thing, decided that he

was going to go in the first round, decided, decided that he was going to go in the first round, he decided to predict that he was going to go in the first round of the draft. And just so you know, the NFL Draft is now 24 hours a fucking day on ESPN for like three days in a row. I know. I had no idea until about a decade ago, and it's just gotten crazier how interesting people

find the NFL draft. I understand if you're getting a good guy on your team, that makes you really excited. But who are these people who are showing up to these huge stadiums? Oh my god, my brother-in-law and I were talking about this. We were like, what are these people doing? What are these people doing?

What are you guys doing? I mean, they're fully dressed up. They have gone ultimate. Yes. And there's like people from every team. They show up. So much so that like this year, it was like an outdoor stadium.

And people, I was watching the fourth round of the draft and they were like, choosing. Yeah. I know they were going crazy. Let me give a little, um, example here. Choosing now the 375th thousandth pick in the 2025-26 draft. Clowny from, from DeVry. And people go, ah, ah, clowny, we got clowny. And then the camera cuts to them,

and they are just freaking out. I know, they're freaking out. While everybody else around them is like, like snoring because they're just waiting, they have to wait three hours for the next time their team gets picked. My favorite part is watching the families, watching, you know, when they get selected.

Yeah, they are insta-millionaire, right? But now in college, you're an insta-millionaire if you do well anyway. Should our Sanders supposed to go, should our Sanders supposed to go in the first round of the draft? And a lot of people thought that was like a lock. First round, second round, third round, he's not picked.

Yeah, it was all the talk. It was all the talk. Why was he going so low in the draft? Well, from the 15 minutes of coverage that I watched, the ESPN commentators, who had to refer to it every 30 seconds, or they were going to lose ratings, I mean, it became kind of like a ratings getter. I think now everybody, including myself, was tuned in to see when and if he was going to get picked.

They were all saying that, listen, could be a combination of a couple of things. He comes from a family of kind of like loud, uh, maybe some people consider obnoxious football players. He might be more trouble than it's worth. Uh, some people thought that he played for a team that played other teams that weren't that great. And his stats were whatever, and he doesn't have the arm

to throw, whatever the deal is. I don't know. But when you're supposed to go first and you don't go till like, I don't know, 236 or something like that. I don't know. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah. What was the, that was like the fourth round?

Yeah, fourth or fifth round, I think. But I don't know. I don't know. Brian got it wrong. Okay. I don't know. But that's not the point of the story. Okay. So he's waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. Camera's all over him and the entire world is waiting for this

Sanders guy to get picked and he's not getting picked. Call after call, you know, hour after hour, day after day, he's just not getting called, except he is getting called. He's getting a phone call on a phone, a burner phone that he got specifically for a team to give him a call. So his personal cell phone, he knew it was had a lot of, a burner phone that he got specifically for a team to give him a call. So his personal cell phone, he knew it was had a lot of, a lot of people were going to be calling his personal cell phone. So they got him a phone with one phone number and they gave it to each team coordinator so that if he got picked, that team coordinator could call that phone and let

him know he was picked. That phone was not supposed to ring until and if he got picked. And because of all the drama and detention surrounding this, you know, that phone number was valuable. And everyone, I'm sure, every news media outlet in the world wanted that phone number. Well, Jeff Ulbrich, who is a, I think it's Jeff Ulbrich, a guy who is coaching for the Falcons. Yes, our team here in Atlanta. Jeff Ulbrich, a defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, had the phone number, because of course he did. The team had the phone number, so he had the phone number. His snotty little kid, who was like a teenager, found the phone number and decided that on this

day the best prank in the world that he could play was to call Shador and pretend that he was a team calling to pick him in the draft. You get the prank phone call is that he calls the phone number that's only going to be called when he's picked and he picks it up and pretends that he has gotten picked in the draft. Well, quickly everybody realizes that that's not true. I mean, of course, there's a million people coordinating all these things and you're going to be found out pretty quickly. But Jeff Ulbrich's son decides to videotape this and then put it on fucking social media.

He decides to videotape himself, prank phone calling Mr. Sanders to tell him he was drafted when in fact he was not drafted, raising the hopes of everybody in the Sanders family, including all the agents and the press and the paparazzi. That phone rings and he answers it. And his dad. And his dad. Namely his dad. Yeah.

Dion Sanders. Dion Sanders, who's probably freaking out with every additional pick that his son is the best and he's going to get hundreds of millions of dollars and all this other stuff and he's not going in the draft. And that phone rings and everybody fucking freaks. Only within a few seconds they realize that that's not going in the draft, and that phone rings, and everybody fucking freaks, only within a few seconds, they realize that that's not it. Well, Jeff Obrick's son videotapes himself doing this and puts it on the fucking internet.

My uncle used to say something to kids, and now I want you to listen to me. Well, take your glasses off for that. I wanted this to be serious. I want these kids to understand something. And I'm going to tell my kids this. Do not fuck up while you're fucking up. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Anybody who has a brain in their head will understand what I'm saying. And this is wise advice. And by the way, I keep saying my uncle said this to me. I don't know who said this to me actually. I just have said it forever and I remember it this way. Don't fuck up while you're fucking up. If you get the- It's good advice to live by.

It's great advice to live by. If you get the guy's phone number and you decide to make that prank phone call, do not videotape it and put it on the internet for everyone and their mother to recognize what a dumb shit you are. This has got to be one of the dumbest things you could have ever done,

because now your dad was fine, the FCC is looking into it. It's like $300,000 or something too. It was no joke. $225,000. Yeah, I remember reading it and I was like, oh man, like his dad is pissed. They find the Falcons $250,000, Ulbrich $100,000 in response to the situation. Excuse me, the kid was 21 years old. Jax Ulbrich wrote down the number from his father's open iPad while visiting his parents' house to conduct a prank phone call.

And I promise my son and I will work hard to demonstrate we are better than this. Of course, this is all PR speak. They probably got like one of those PR firms that I'm sure we're going to have to call at some point. The emergency. Yeah. We better have one of those. Crisis management. Do we have one of those? We need to have one of those. Because I get it.

I think Jeff's got one, so we'll tap into his. He has one? Well, I mean, they're a company. They work with a PR company. Is that PR company? Yeah, but there's specialized companies that come in during times of shit, and they just- They can do it. This woman can do it. Yeah, they write really fancy press releases

that make it sound like you're really sorry when you're not. Sorry, I'm going to rehab. Sorry, I'm gonna take some time to myself. Sorry, I'm gonna go away and reflect on my actions. There's like step-by-step, A's and B's. I'm gonna be best. Yeah. We're gonna be best. Yeah, I'm gonna be best. Be best.

He he he. That's the stupidest phrase. That's best to you. Honestly, it is. So this kid does this, and now his dad's $350,000 in the hole. I mean, I don't know what you could pay to as a defensive coordinator,

probably a million, million and a half years or something like that. Well, I mean, the fact that the team, the team got- The team got the- Find, and him personally. I mean, not only did the kid fuck up with the dad, he fucked up with the team. He fucked up with the team, yeah.

And his dad's work. Yes. He fucked up with his dad's work. If this guy doesn't have one of the best defensive years in the AFC, whatever the fuck we're in, then I promise you Jeff Fulbrick is not returning to the Falcons. Arthur blank do not play kid. No, he's not a jokester.

He has desperately wanted a winning team forever and never had one. I mean, one year we went to the Super Bowl, one year and got stomped by who? The Patriots. That's right. Bringing it all back to Bill Belichick and Bill Bellamy. All right? And by the way, the last time the Falcons were in the Super Bowl was when Bill Bellamy was on MTV. That's how it worked. All right. Let's talk about VRAs when we get back. Let's take a break. And uh... Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh. Best to you.

In the Brian Got It Wrong department, they have picked a new pope. As we're sitting here recording right now, I'm just seeing that the new pope is going to greet the throngs, the masses in just a few minutes. So I guess we'll follow up on that next week. But very interesting. I assumed it would take a very long time for that to happen. So there you go. Yeah, you called a month. I called a month and took less than 24 hours.

Less than 24 hours. They just got in there yesterday. I think we were talking about this yesterday at this time and they were just entering the conclave and they puffed that black smoke yesterday. And so, well, okay, there you go. Hey, why not? Not that I really care. I was just hoping for some like long drawn out process so it could make some drama. I did. I wanted the Italian media to go crazy, but they didn't. Now they're just, well, I hope it's a good pope for all those who care. Okay, one of the things that is interesting, did you send that to me? I did. Chrissy found an article and I've heard about this before, about the raves, the VR raves.

VR raves. Raving is back. For those of you that don't know, raving was a thing that started back in the 70s and 80s, I think, in the underground club scene, when electronic dance music or disco and electronic dance music really started to hit the scene. People would put on these kind of underground parties. I mean, you can think about this like Club 54, Studio 54, really probably would be one of the first,

I don't know because I'm not a historian on this, but I would imagine that's one of the places that really bred this kind of party culture. Go, do drugs, dance all night long, or don't do drugs, but you know, party, just party all night long. Party and dance. Get out in the sun. This has been going on in Europe for a long time.

The Germans are known for this, the Swiss are known. There's a lot of different cultures that have this kind of party all night long and listen to a certain type of music, more specifically electronic dance music, EDM. So this culture was really hot in the 90s. I went to a number of them myself when you would get the chocolate chip ecstasy, like the really early ecstasy pills that some people claimed were like, you know, meth and heroin mixed together. Who knows what I was taking?

It made you feel good. That's all I know. Made you feel good. And then you would just dance. You'd have that, you know, lovely, I love you energy and you just dance the night away. And a lot of times these were in warehouses and fields. The ones that I started going to were in warehouses. People's houses sometimes, you know, these really small events, like the acid fest, you

know, trip fest that we did. Only that wasn't electronic dance music. That was Pink Floyd the Wall. Not exactly the same vibe, but you know, you can get it. So these parties were in England, sometimes they'd be thousands of people would show up in mass to one location based on flyers that were passed out. There was no email largely available back then. So, you know, I don't need to tell you,

if you've been alive on this earth for more than 21 years, then you know what a rave is, at least you've heard about them. This culture is back. It went away for a little while largely. And there's been a lot of articles about how raving as a culture just kind of died down once ecstasy went away and harder drugs hit the scene

like meth and not heroin, but- Fentanyl. Fentanyl. Once these kind of drugs, like these synthetic drugs hit the scene, once these kind of drugs like these synthetic drugs hit the scene the culture kind of died a little bit because that lovey dovey dance all night energy turned into something else and I wrote I read this really well written article and I forget which I wish I could cite the author or the magazine but of course. I read this part.

But he wrote this like five page essay on the rave culture and how it was officially dead. Well, it's back. And I've heard about this. And it's back online, virtual reality. The VR rave. You don't need to be in the same room. You don't need to leave the comfort of your home.

There's no getting taxis here or there. No chance you're going to get caught by security, you know, tooting in the bathroom or whatever. None of that shit. You are officially in your bedroom, raving with others in a VR world. You and your avatar are getting down. Yeah, so Chrissy said-

Drugs, sex, all kinds- Simulated sex. All kinds of things are happening for our days. are getting down. Yeah, so Chrissy said- Drugs, sex, all kinds- Simulated sex. All kinds of things are happening for our days. Listen, I really thought this metaverse was good for nothing. I'm sure it still is. But there are people out there

who are going to these raves. And like Chrissy said, 60 hour drug fests, simulated sex fests. This virtual reality world, like everything else technology-wise, is being driven by sex and drugs. Sex and drugs. Because these are the things that humans need to do.

We're hardwired for that. We're hardwired to follow the dopamine. We're hardwired to procreate. Those two things. So when it seems base, like it seems crass, that I say that sex really drove the evolution of the internet, porn, sex, it's really not. It's like one of the human,

it's the basic ingredient to life. We need to recreate, we need to procreate. And so, that instinct, that base instinct drives us to think of new ways and new things and that dopamine that we get from it makes that base feeling to chase that dopamine is why we do drugs, it's escapism and sex and all that other stuff.

Well now, you put on that fucking Mark goddamn Zuckerberg helmet and you go for 60 hours and you rave? Yeah, these people have like the body tracker things that you put on too, I guess. Oh yeah, they have like things, body trackers, and then they have these sensation suits that can have pressure sensors and they, wow. And then yeah, and this one guy they profiled

in the article was, he was doing drugs as well. Well, good for him. Yeah. At least he's doing it from the safety of his own home. I will say that. I hope he had a fentanyl test. Listen, if you're doing drugs and 2025 hard drugs and you're not getting a fentanyl test, you are as, you're as good as dead.

It's Russian roulette every time. Now I also realize that hype on the streets, hype outside the streets doesn't always mean truth on the streets, but I think we've seen enough cases of people who've wrongly mistakenly taken something and died to know that even like, even if it happened just a couple of times or where someone mistakenly took the wrong drug or thought they were taking blow or were taking fentanyl,

I would be testing my drugs for sure. When I get back into drugs, when I retire, I'm gonna be testing my drugs for sure. When I get back into drugs when I retire, I'm going to be testing my drugs. That's all I got to say. All right. So, I went out there and quickly found a video about someone who went to one of these dance parties. And so, let's watch this. I'm going to give, just for a few seconds before we head out of here and find out who the pope is. Okay, this is someone, Otterly World. Otterly World. Otterworldly.

Otterworldly, excuse me. Um, no, wait, hold on one second. Okay, you talk, Chrissy. Yes, well, we're looking at possibly a Fably Slim concert coming up here. I love it. Eat, Sleep, VR, Repeat. Okay, all right, let me see if I can make it work. Now, go. Today we are going to a Fatboy Slim concert in VR.

They're doing a special event today, so I'm gonna be at this virtual concert with hundreds of other users. Let's do it. Oh, why are there aliens over there and a naked person? That's kind of weird. Wow. Whoa.

That's so cool. It's showing this girl with the headset on. Yeah. And she's at the VR concert. She's at the VR concert and they're showing some weird like strange, you know, graphics and every time she looks down around her, there's other feetless, legless avatars walking around.

This reminds me of my time in the Metaverse when they told me to leave. Yes. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane.

That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. That's insane. Yeah, but these graphics seem like they're Atari. You know what I'm saying? Like these graphics don't seem all that impressive to me. But I think maybe when you have the headset on, it feels like you're there.

You're in it. You're there. You're part of it. Maybe it looks a little bit more 3D. When we're just watching it on the flat screen. Yeah. And Fatboy Slim had one hit, and he's breaking it out right at the beginning. If you're going to go for a 60-hour rave,

I think you saved that for some time toward the end, don't you? True. I have to praise you like that, too. I wonder if Fatboy uses chat GPT. I bet they do. They're in the... They're having a show. Hello, my friends. Hi.

Welcome home. This is so cool. I don't know if this is one of the coolest things my fat, Fatboy Slim isn't my favorite artist ever. And it looks like I'm a little lonely because even the crowd seems sparse and weird. It looks like I showed up to a party that I would show up to. You know what I'm saying? Like if I'm gonna show up to a party,

I want it to be a party like I think somebody else would go to. Do you know? You understand like what I'm saying to you? Okay. Well, at least there's other people there, I guess. There are literally like seven people at this, right? That's kind of sad. Yeah, I guess it's showing your name above it. Like, Alexander Boock. Yeah, that's how it works in the metaverse. Yeah, well, your username anyway. Eat, sleep, rave, repeat, eat, sleep, rave, repeat, eat, sleep, rave, repeat, eat, sleep, rave, repeat.

Oh, if someone is screaming to me, eat, sleep, rave, repeat, I would just be going absolutely bananas it's bad boys slim that's what you got to do all right so I think we need to investigate this some more okay we'll investigate it some more another time all Alright kids, that's all I got for you today. But I love you. And just know that everything will be okay. Everyone will be alright. Even with the meta raving we're gonna be just fine. Hey yeah, again, each to their own.

You know, if that's your thing, do it. To each their own. Yeah, but Fat Boys Slim. I don't know what that's, that's the same concert. No, it's definitely not the same concert. I don't think the hardcore ravers are showing up to the Fat Boys Slim concert and vice versa. Do you know what I'm saying? I don't think Fat Boys Slim is showing up to the hardcore. It's Fat Boys Slim. I love that there's like a drive-in too. Huh, interesting. It says Norm's Drive-In.

Why am I going to Norm's for the party? I don't know. Anyway, the 12 hours of TCB is coming at you May 31st. Be here with us. Starting at 10am or 9am. Pay attention. just hang tight.
