Starting point is 00:00:00 There's regular cold. And then there's the mountains are blue cold. Mountain cold refreshment. Coors light. The chill choice. Celebrate responsibly. Must be legal drinking age. What's better than a well marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?

Starting point is 00:00:38 Service fees, exclusions, and terms apply. Instacart. Groceries that over-deliver. Don't say, I want to poo. I want to poo is impolite and informal. Here are five polite, formal and sophisticated ways to say, I want to poo. Number one, nature is calling. Number two, a brief visit to the restroom is in order.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Number three, excuse me, personal affairs to attend to. Number four, pardon me, biological urgency. And number five, may I step away for a private matter? Don't say I want to poo. On this episode of the Commercial Break. I liked him. I hope that he liked me. I mean, I don't know. But anyway, this starts kind of this back and forth.
Starting point is 00:01:35 The next day, Mark and Fallon. So let me stop here for a minute and explain that at the dinner, Mark is talking about fireside and his investment in fireside. And he is asking me what makes fireside different? How can we be better? What can we do? And I go on a typical Brian rant for like 20 minutes, throwing magical words and weird sentences out there.
Starting point is 00:02:00 The Romdoss. The Romdoss that somehow gets Mark's eyes spinning like a Cheshire cat. He's really into whatever it is I'm saying. and I'm not even sure what I'm saying because I can't believe I'm standing there talking to Mark Cuban having a beer. The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now. It's 30 in the morning! Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green.
Starting point is 00:02:21 This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best of you, Chris. Best of you, Chris. Best of you, Brian. Best of you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. Well, I had my yearly exchange with Mark Cuban yesterday. You did?
Starting point is 00:02:34 On email. Yes. Nice. I love you all. It's a little friendly connection. I know. We have a little friendly banter, which mainly includes me emailing him and then him yelling back at me.
Starting point is 00:02:43 But that's okay. I like you, Mark, regardless of your... Your absolute... Your absolute irritation with me. Ha-ha! Ah, it's like a lot of the celebrity relationships here on the show. I bother them too much, they get irritated at me. He does respond, and he responds lickety-split, too.
Starting point is 00:03:01 That's what you said. Oh, he's so quick. And I don't know if he's like this with everybody. He probably is, but it doesn't take him but five minutes to respond every time I email him. Let's roll it back to 2021, kids. When this show is just a baby show, probably on episode number 482, early on in our evolution.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And Chrissy and I get invited to do, I am on Clubhouse doing a lot of rooms for podcasting on Clubhouse, as well as having the show, The Commercial Break. And we get a phone call or an invitation to do something called Fireside, which is supposed to be Clubhouse 2.0, where they, but they curate the content.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Rather than letting anybody and everybody open up a room and be an idiot, they're gonna just pick certain idiots to be. It definitely was a cool concept. It was a cool concept and how it was pitched was imagine we are the HBO of audio video social so we are going to curate the people we put on the platform and those people are and then we're going to give them resources to develop their talent and their shows. And the commercial break was one that was invited early on by Fallon
Starting point is 00:04:09 Fatemi, Fallon Fatemi was the CEO and founder of fireside and she was bankrolled by Mark Cuban. Now, for those of you who don't know, Mark Cuban has really been at the forefront of streaming since day one. He actually owned one of the original streaming platforms, one of the platforms that would allow you to press live and other people on the internet to hear you almost instantaneously.
Starting point is 00:04:33 So Mark has been doing this for a long time. I think if I'm not mistaken, he started Ustream, or what became Ustream, which unbelievably was the platform that ScamCole FM would go on to stream on. Oh right, that's right. So we get invited to be on this platform, we take the dive, we do a few intro shows on fireside. There's no one there, it's empty as it could be.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And just because the platform is just getting started. It really was, yeah. But within a couple of weeks or maybe a month of being on the platform, there is a podcast movement, which is one of the larger, one of the three large podcast conferences that go on. It's gonna be in Nashville. It is the smack dab middle of COVID, coronavirus,
Starting point is 00:05:18 and all the whole hubbub blew. But I am not, so I am not intending to go to podcast movement because I have a new baby and because it's just not smart to go stand around a bunch of other people, at least in my mind, at that time. However, days before the podcast movement, Fallon Fittemi's assistant reaches out to me and she says, you are cordially invited to a private dinner with Fallon and Mark Cuban in Nashville on this particular night, the night before the podcast movement.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah, because we had decided we weren't going, but then you got the last minute invite and I said, please go. I got the last minute invite and I went, really, again, Alison Hare steps in and says, you're a fucking moron if you don't go. I got the last minute invite and I went, really again, Alison Hare steps in and says, you're a fucking moron if you don't go. Yeah, so I booked my room the morning of, and I'm on the road later on that afternoon.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I get in, I go to dinner and no shit. It's me, 20, 22, 23 other people in this private room, in this restaurant in Nashville with Fallon, other creators and notable podcasters of which I'm not at the time, but there's other notable podcasters in the room and Mark Cuban and Mark Cuban and I get to spend some time together. And I liked him. I hope that he liked me. I mean, I don't know, but anyway, this starts kind of this back and forth.
Starting point is 00:06:44 The next day, Mark and Fallon, so let me stop here for a minute and explain that at the dinner Mark is talking about fireside and his investment in fireside, and he is asking me what makes fireside different, how can we be better, what can we do? And I go on a typical Brian rant for like 20 minutes, throwing magical words and weird sentences out there. The Ram Dass. The Ram Dass that somehow gets Mark's eyes spinning like a Cheshire cat.
Starting point is 00:07:13 He's really into whatever it is I'm saying. And I'm not even sure what I'm saying because I can't believe I'm standing there talking to Mark Cuban, having a beer. But okay, so then we all go out for drinks and stuff afterwards. And the next morning at 8 30 AM, he is giving the keynote address at podcast movement and there's hundreds of people in the room and I managed to pull myself
Starting point is 00:07:36 out of bed. This is like one of the last times I actually can remember myself being intoxicated with alcohol and I wasn't that intoxicated, but I just had a hard time getting out of bed. And I go because I figure I want to be at this keynote and see what they say. There, Mark drops my name at least four or five times up on stage. He drops my name, Brian Green. He actually asked me to stand up at one point. Where's Brian?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Is Brian in the crowd? Where's Brian Green? He had some good things to say last night. And I couldn't believe what was going on. It was kind of a weird, surreal moment that Mark Cuban is up on stage dropping my name, but he does. Okay, so let's fast forward. I have his email address,
Starting point is 00:08:16 and I started an email exchange with him over a couple of different things over the next couple of years. It seems like once every six months to a year, I email Mark about something. It's usually irritating him to no end that I'm emailing him, but he does respond to me. So let's go to now, 2025, just a few days ago,
Starting point is 00:08:35 Elon Musk, who has been really the, and really a fucking moron for a long time. And I'm just gonna say it out loud. He's been a fucking moron. Yeah, I think most people agree. But there is no doubt that Elon Musk is really good at what he does. And what he is good at is getting hyped, getting people
Starting point is 00:08:53 hyped, raising funds, and then putting those funds to use. I think some of the things that he is doing is noble. I think a lot of the things that he is doing is click bait. And he does, I don't know why he's doing it. I don't know why the whole doge, I don't know. Who knows? You can't get inside someone's head. But he bought this fucking Twitter, turned it into X, and now it's a total shit show over there.
Starting point is 00:09:12 He's got this grok running crazy, you know, believing that it's like Hitler himself. It's weird. Spouting crazy stuff. Just weird. All of it is just like strange and surreal, but it's 2025 and nothing surprises me anymore. But one thing that Elon Musk did a couple of days ago that I might, might get behind
Starting point is 00:09:34 is he decided to start a third party here, the American party, the America party, whatever he's calling it. He filed the paperwork, he put some money down. He got a lot of people all excited about this and he's starting a third party because he doesn't like what's going on with Trump. He doesn't like what's going on with the Democrats. And I can agree with him on this one point is that both of these fucking parties are way out of touch with anybody.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah. I mean, it's like, we even talked to, gosh, his name is escaping me, but that one guy who was saying that independents are going to really be who kind of rise up out of all of this. That was the Channel 5 guy, right? Now his name is eluding me too, and I watch him almost every day. Anyway, the Channel 5 guy, who also, by the way, little announcement on the Channel 5 guy, he bought back the original all-gas, no breaks name, which was taken from him by Vice Media.
Starting point is 00:10:28 So I don't know what they're gonna do with that, but I did read a little blurb about that. Okay, so all of this, so he says, so Elon makes this announcement, a lot of people get excited about this. Some people still think he's an idiot. I agree with, I have no loyalty to any party. If you're an idiot, you're an idiot.
Starting point is 00:10:46 And I'm going to call it out. If you're doing something I like, you're doing something I like. And I'm going to say that Trump included as much as I don't care for the guy, there are some things that he has done and probably will do that I agree with. And when he does, I will say, so I agree with that. Same with the Democrats. Biden was not my favorite president in the world. He did some things I liked. He did some things I didn't like. So Musk is doing something I like.
Starting point is 00:11:08 He's starting a true third party, independent third party, which we need to support a strong middle class in the United States of America and common sense thinking. Will Elon follow through on common sense thinking? I don't know. He seems to have a lot of ketamine in his body for common sense thinking. But okay. All right. We'll see. If the right people get behind it and Elon can temper some of his more crazy impulses, maybe.
Starting point is 00:11:35 But Mark Cuban is one of the first people that tweets at him and says something along the lines of, I'm on board. I'll help you get on tickets across the nation through this particular organization. He says that. So I get excited that Mark Cuban gets excited because I like Mark Cuban and I agree with a lot of what Mark Cuban has said in the past about politics. And I think he's for a strong middle class. I think he's mostly for a strong democracy and I think he's mostly for humanity in general. Yeah, he seems to be. He seems to be, anyway. I don't know, he's a billionaire, so, you know, maybe he's out of touch in some ways.
Starting point is 00:12:10 So I say to Mark, hey, listen, Mark, if you decide to get behind this third party, you got an open door to come have a conversation about it here on the commercial break. And that's basically what I say to Mark. And, and, and I remind him that I actually am the guy on the commercial break. And that's basically what I say to Mark. And I remind him that I actually am the guy on the commercial break, because he probably doesn't know who the fuck I am, right? To which Mark responds, Jesus, Brian, it's just a social media post. And I go, I realize you're not announcing a candidacy for presidency, Mark. I'm just saying if you should decide to support it, you have an open door. You have a platform that you can come on and talk about it.
Starting point is 00:12:52 We reach over three people in two different states and I think we could be of service. We'll really blast out your message. We got you, Mark. Don't worry. You need to reach people. We've got two of them. You need the heavy? Yeah, one of them is my mom, and she's not exactly sure
Starting point is 00:13:12 how to get the podcast. But I think everything's going to be just fine. I just wanted Mark to know that he had an open door to come debate policy, to come talk about the platform. That would platform. God, that would be a dream to have him on. Yeah. And I would have made that invitation to Elon, but I'm still not so sure about Elon. I don't want to platform craziness. Some lady said the other day on Spotify, you know, Spotify, you can do comments now. And some lady said, stay out of politics. You're absolutely uninformed. You don't know what you're talking about. Well, we all have our blind spots, whoever you are.
Starting point is 00:13:46 We all, I think her name was Ashley, we all have our blind spots, Ashley, and obviously you don't agree with something that I said or you wouldn't have posted such a comment. We don't talk about politics on the show. We talk about things that affect our own personal lives and the things that we think. And if you don't care for it, that's okay. We can respectfully agree to disagree. Um, but. You know, I largely stay out of politics because everybody else talks about it and everybody else has the same fucking talking points.
Starting point is 00:14:13 They all have the same opinion. It's just a big echo chamber and I don't want to be part of it. However, if there's something different that comes along and they know what they're talking about, I welcome them on the show. We've had a few people that are political experts, Mike Peska from The Gist, who I consider a true independent, has been on this show, and I like what he has to say.
Starting point is 00:14:35 That guy from Channel 5 News that we can't remember his name. Yeah. I like him. I think he's, yeah, please do, because we sound like real fucking morons. People are screaming at us while they're listening.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And if Mark Cuban decides for any reason that he wants to support a third party, or he just wants to talk, I'll have them on here. So, yeah. So Mark and I currently bickering at each other. Jesus Brian, it's just a social media post. But Mark, it sounded like you were supporting the idea. That's why I reached out and I said something. Andrew Callahan.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Andrew Callahan. Thank you. I like Andrew. Me too. And he's got a lot of followers. I mean, he has like blown up even a lot more. Andrew did all gas and oil breaks, then he went to Channel 5 News, once Vice Media kind of crashed and burned.
Starting point is 00:15:25 They took the rights away from him. And he had a big blowout. And he talked about that on the show. Then he did the HBO documentary. Then Andrew had an issue. A couple of young ladies came out and said that he didn't assault them, but that he was awful pressury after having had some drinks and kind of crashing out on their couch.
Starting point is 00:15:48 One specific incident I can remember. I don't want to talk out of turn here, but, and this is, this may not be exact details, but here's the gist of it. She felt like she was being pressured by Andrew, that he was kind of drunk and being a little needy and, you know, fawning over her a little bit more than she would have cared for.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And he took some time off and he went to rehab like a lot of people do. You crash out and then you realize I got to do something different. Yeah, you got to make a change. And he took some time off and he came back and he has really blown up since then by pointing out a lot of the hypocrisy that's going on on both sides of the aisle. And then also he just does like these, he finds the weirdest people in the world and follows them around for a couple of days or has correspondents doing it, having nothing to do with politics.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I remember he was down in Miami and he went to this place called the Magic Castle or something, have you ever heard about this place? Well, I thought that was in California, but there's another one. Maybe it's not called the Magic Castle, it's something castle. And it's this guy that owns this place.
Starting point is 00:16:46 And it's like a 24 hour rager with the weirdest, strangest human beings you've ever met. It's like part strip club, part techno rave, part monster truck rally, part monster energy drink promotional video. It's like the weirdest place. And I remember during the pandemic,
Starting point is 00:17:05 he went down there and partied for like some period of time with them. It was the wildest video I've ever seen in my entire life. And I thought to myself, if only, if only, we could do stuff like that. But again, getting out of this house is really hard for us. We like being in the tree of trust. Because look what happens when we venture outside our bounds.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Mark Cuban's yelling at me. When I try and go outside the four walls, I get yelled at by billionaires. That's what happens. Anyway, Mark, we love you. Open invitation to the show. And so that's that. Okay, listen, I have a smorgasbord of things to discuss. I can tell you've got like an energy about your excitement. I do. I'm very excited about all the stuff that is that I have to discuss with you today. I have found some oddities on the internet I'd like to share and some other notables. I do have to say this. I do have to go one step further with my comments on Friday when I talked about how the booboo I believe has officially fucking irritated the shit out of
Starting point is 00:18:03 me. It has jumped the shark. You do realize LeBubu fans, and I'm not mad at you for loving LeBubu. Love LeBubu. You like a LeBubu and you wanna spend $1,000 on a LeBubu, spend $1,000 on a LeBubu. I can't quit laughing at the name, but anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Lafoofoo, LaCuckoo. We're gonna start selling LaCuckoos here. Because now it's so crazy that people don't even care if they're getting lafoufous. They just want it. They want something that looks like a lafoufou. That was that whole article that I read. They want little devils in their house biting their neck and bringing demon seed into their
Starting point is 00:18:37 home. They don't care. They want to get the devil in their house anyway they can, according to our friend that we listened to the other day, who people despised, by the way. That guy, former Satanist, people despised him. He's terrible. Yeah, I got a lot of comments. People were not happy.
Starting point is 00:18:52 They were like, that guy's an asshole. He was an asshole. But I'm watching, I watched a pop-up, like, I guess you would call it a fashion show with La Boo Boo's that a famous online fashion influencer pop up like, I guess you would call it fashion show with La Boo Boo's that a famous online fashion influencer put together and there was like four people that showed up for this fashion show in Central Park.
Starting point is 00:19:14 But then it drew a crowd, but guess what the winner got? A $10,000 Chanel Coco bag, a Coco Chanel bag. Okay. Can you believe, that's fucking insane. We are, we're taking it just too far guys. It's like Beanie Babies went the same route. Garbage Pails went the same route. Tigamachis or whatever the fuck you call them,
Starting point is 00:19:40 they went the same. Everything goes the same, Brat Dolls, they all went the same route of the dodo bird, as is LaBubu, it's gonna go. So just be careful about how you spend your money. Take it from a guy who got in on the Dick Tracy craziness early and then the craziness never quite happened. It never peaked like LaBubu did, no.
Starting point is 00:19:59 My Dick Tracy stuff went down in value, not up in value. Well, it's the old buy high, sell low. That's right. My mom had to pay for that stuff to be taken out of the house. She had to pay for something to take it away. All right, just be careful about your little foofoos and your little booboos.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I don't want anybody to make, also, did you know that Cabbage Patch dolls, Beanie Babies, Bratz dolls, Tagamachis, or whatever they used to call them, all of that stuff has been an indi- has, that all happened within months of a major recession. Really? A lot of people call them recession indicators when people start hoarding these collectible, hot collectible items. So- Great.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Be mine- yeah, great. Great. Right before we sign our new contract. Great. So be mindful. So be mindful of what you spend your money on. That's just Brian. Listen, if Mark was here right now, he'd give you the same advice. You think Mark Cuban owns the boo-boos? He probably does. He probably actually owns the boo-boo. He probably does. He probably owns part of Pop Art. Didn't he just sell? He just sold his basketball team, didn't he? For like $17 billion or something?
Starting point is 00:21:04 He did? Yeah. I think he sold most of it. Anyway, okay. We'll be back. Lots more to talk about. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple. Astrid asked me to shut Brian up, even for a minute.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Well, lovely Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid, too? You know you do. Leave a message for her, or me, or Chrissy, at 212-433-3TCB. That's 212-433-3822. You can be on the show, too. Mm-hmm. Just call and say something, anything, or text us, and we'll text you right back. Promise. Then head over to TCBpodcast.com and get your free sticker. It's your constitutional right to a sticker, and we must abide. You get the point. Follow us on Instagram at The Commercial Break and watch all the episodes on video at YouTube.com slash The Commercial Break. Best to you, and
Starting point is 00:22:01 Astrid, especially Astrid. It's me, your brain. And I, your mouth. I act on logic. I act on taste. For me, Pizza Hut's Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza with Spicy Fried Chicken, Pickles, and Creamy Ranch Drizzle is confusing. To me it sounds good. Pickles on pizza? Amazing. It shouldn't work, but it's so good. Try the Nashville Hot lineup at Pizza Hut. Your mouth will get it.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Hey, what's up, Flies? This is David Spade. Dana Carvey. Look it, I know we never actually left, but I'll just say it. We are back with another season of Fly on the Wall. Every episode, including ones with guests, will now be on
Starting point is 00:22:45 video. Every Thursday you'll hear us and see us chatting with big name celebrities. And every Monday you're stuck with just me and Dana. We react to news, what's trending, viral clips. Follow and listen to Fly on the Wall everywhere you get your podcasts. I have a question for the listeners. Did you grow up in Charlotte, North Carolina in the early 2000s? Were you there? Did you grow up? Did you live there in the early 2000s? And I think this was just for like a two year period where the local Fox affiliate weatherman
Starting point is 00:23:22 named Mark Mathis was doing his whole schtick. Because I imagine if you grew up during that time or you were there during that time, then Mark Mathis will be a name you will remember instantaneously. And until two weeks ago, I had no idea who this guy was. Yeah. But currently there are some people on the internet that are making Mark famous all over again. some people on the internet that are making Mark famous all over again. This is the wildest local reporter I have ever seen in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:23:50 He's a weatherman. He is the wildest, most coked up, craziest weatherman I have ever seen and I'm here for it. I wonder where these, I mean, he takes it way too far sometimes, especially when it comes to the ladies hanging around him. That's not my favorite part of this, but it's crazy what he gets away with as a weatherman. I don't know who Mark Mathis is.
Starting point is 00:24:11 In Charlotte, North Carolina, on a local Fox station. That was gonna happen anywhere and happen on Fox, but I cannot believe this guy was hired. And then they let him run amok for two years, I believe. It's insane. This is like W S H I T crab apple shit. I mean, this is what I would imagine in my head, the fake universe of crab apple would see as a weatherman. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:35 I found like a super cut of Mark. It was like four or five minutes long. You got to check out some of this stuff that Mark's up to back in 2005, 2006, I believe is when he was like at his prime and then either he got fired or he got cut off or they told him he had to settle down. Anyway, you want to listen to some of this? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Okay. Mark Mathis, Weatherman, Fox Charlotte, 2005. ... hot in here. I'm taking on all my glow. That's a song. Tony X is doing sports again. That was the worst poem I have ever heard in my life. We didn't write it!
Starting point is 00:25:06 Who wrote it? Who wrote it? Wow, yeah, you fired up. Here's a little one that I made up of my own. I'm Mark Mathis, do the weather just fine, I make it exciting every time, but when I act like a fool, the rule if you want the forecast watch channel nine What in the good golly, holy shit is going around here What in the good? Peruvian marching powder the name of the Lord is happening here. How does he get away with this?
Starting point is 00:25:43 Have you ever seen anything like this? No. Has Glenn Burns ever once done his own rap on WSB TV? No, not once. And I've been watching Glenn for 82 years. The guy's 97. He still looks like he's 40. He does. Dude, that didn't rhyme. It didn't write it. Here he goes again. He's rapping again. This is his, I guess this is a shtick for a minute. All right, here we go. Oh, by the way, you know this, Steve.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I got yelled at last night. I mean, yelled at. I don't believe it, for my little point. I wasn't off the set for two seconds and that phone was lighting up. He's like the Howard Stern of weathermen. He's going wild. Who allows this to continue? What producer in the back is saying this is good for our ratings? I guess it is good for their ratings. Well, yeah, now.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Because you should see the comments on some of these posts about him, people remember this guy. They're like, I couldn't, at the time, one guy said, I was young and I grew up with Mark Mathis. And then I moved to a different city. And I couldn't believe how boring the other weatherman were. I was wondering when the comedy was gonna come. I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I mean, you really, first I felt like going, you know who you're talking to? But I chose not to. I'm Mark Mathis, middling weatherman for the number 212 market in the United States of America. I wish Mark and Glenn Burns would have done this. Let me pause here for a second. I gotta be careful about how I say this. There was a guy here that was very similar, but he was on the radio.
Starting point is 00:27:36 He was part of the local alternative station. He was the traffic guy. Do you remember him? Let me say his name, I'm gonna press mute. Okay, he's still around today in some former fashion. It's not his old glory days, but he was very similar to this guy. That's true, it was like the loud and crazy.
Starting point is 00:27:58 But he was the morning, he was part of the morning zoo crew. It was perfectly acceptable to be like this and no one was really listening to him for the traffic or the weather. He was just like a lug nut that would yell and scream and get into all kinds of crazy shenanigans. And he would be at every single radio station promo ever.
Starting point is 00:28:17 People would- Yes, remote. The people would come to see him because he was a drunkard of epic proportions and he would make life entertaining. And somehow I ended up living with a guy who knew a girl who they were best friends. And I cannot tell you, in my mind for years,
Starting point is 00:28:37 this guy was like the coolest dude who was out there partying and having fun. And I imagined the life that he lived, driving a Lamborghini around and living in his condo and having fun. And I imagine the life that he lived, driving a Lamborghini around and living in his condo and having fun. When I got to know him, what I realized is he spent a lot of nights on people's couches, coked up and crashed out. You know what I'm saying? He was not the hero that I thought he was when I was 17 years old. And so when I look at Mark Mathis, I imagine in his nice suit on television, local television station, you probably imagine Mark's driving his Mercedes Benz back home to his very nice
Starting point is 00:29:10 house. He's probably coked out and crashing on people's couches. Yeah. You know how when you're talking to the boss, he's like, yeah, probably a wise decision. So tonight, I brought the cell phone in case he needed to call me. In case I do anything wrong tonight. Just call the cell phone. It's real easy.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Oh, my pretty god, he's not watching. All right, some scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. No phone call yet. 71 is the current temperature, 66 in Statesville. See, he's chicken. He's chicken. He's scared of me now.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I mean, whoa. It's hard to believe this guy only lasted two years. Boy, yeah. At the station, he's begging his boss to fire him on air. Exactly. Wow. Whoa. It's hard to believe this guy only lasted two years. Boy, yeah. At the station, he's begging his boss to fire him on air. Exactly. Wow. 91 and 71 are the... Doctors, figure that. Flushing your pipes once in a while kind of cleans out the system and protects you.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Pipes at least once a day. Is that what we're calling it now? You gotta flush them out. It's like your lucky weatherman here is gonna live to be 150. Oh my God. Not me. I love him. He's giving, he's giving Mountain Dew crystal meth.
Starting point is 00:30:16 He's giving, I make crystal meth in a Mountain Dew bottle kind of. Yes, he does. Rejoice. Once a day ain't nothing. Yes. Once a day ain't nothing! I mean, what are you doing in there? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:30:32 Just a little self-medication, mama. Medicating myself. Hey, we want to introduce you to somebody. Do you think this guy went to like the local comedy clubs? Maybe. I can see that. Where is Mark Mathis now? I have to know. Do you think this guy went to like the local comedy clubs to try? Where is Mark Mathis now? I have to know. He has a different girl in here every single night. But this could be the one people! This could be the one! Come here is it Laura?
Starting point is 00:30:58 Julie? I don't know whoever it was last night. Look out! All right from Charleston, South Carolina! Stevie's girlfriend! Beyonce! Hey! Hang on you're not done yet! Look out! All right, from Charleston, South Carolina, Stevie's girlfriend, Beyonce, Lover, what the, hey, hang on, you're not done yet. You gotta do the weather dance. Hello! Oh my God, Mark Mathis is currently employed by the San Diego KUSI News. No way. No. He isn't doing this whole thing anymore, is he? He can't be.
Starting point is 00:31:23 No, there's no way. Or maybe I could be wrong. I thought this was dead internet type stuff and I think he's still doing it. Oh yeah, that's him. Well, that media world is a small world. People just jump around from market to market. That's why you and I don't have a job at any media market currently. Okay you can get off camera now. I will see you. Oh the edge. Why don't you and I come over.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Wow. Are you doing good tonight my sweet angel of light Okay, I want to tell you what's going on here he's currently hitting on some girl that's in the back of you know This behind the camera meanwhile there is clearly a torn attic Activity going on behind him. It's dark red and purple Going across his screen and he's not indicating whether or not someone needs to be in the basement. He's hoping to get laid later on. Ha ha!
Starting point is 00:32:28 I did a little something earlier this evening that made Tomiko a little upset, but she doesn't stay upset long. Eh, eh. Ha ha ha! He's got his clicker thing. He's just flapping it around. Flapping it around, swinging dick.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Look at Mark. He is, I like this guy. Yeah. Not that much, but I like him enough that I could be entertained by him. I wish he was my weatherman. Except in moments like this, when the tornado is going through Davidson County.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Right, like you kinda wanna know, what is the weather? He's worried about what he's doing later on. Hey, we got some big old thunderstorms out there. Let me put this... Hey, looky there. Hey, look at there, tornado heading your way. God, it really is. It really is a tornado.
Starting point is 00:33:10 He's got the times listed out for each of the counties. Jesus Christ. People are dying and Mark's worried about getting his balls wet. That's crazy. Mount Pleasant, 1021 Finger. There's a town called Finger. Is that how you pronounce it? Ropers in the house tonight giving me the finger. Ah, let's see. I mean, he is so nonchalant about this touchdown of a severe storm. I am having a hard time believing that anybody would survive this employment-wise. No.
Starting point is 00:33:50 I need more time, Pete. Isn't one of your responsibilities as a TV weatherman to alert people? I mean, we just learned this lesson the hard way, right? Is that as much advanced warning as you can get about severe weather is probably better than little. Meanwhile, Mark has no regard for life right now. But as much advanced warning as you can get about severe weather is probably better than little. Meanwhile, Mark has no regard for life right now. Well, I need more time.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I'm going to put that in my next contract. You can start from the beginning, Jeff. It's not funny, Jeff. All right. I mean, it seems like a big party in the whole studio. Yeah, the whole studio. Yeah. Everyone's yacked out.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Everyone's yacked out. They're passing it around. Everybody's taking turns whole studio. Yeah. Everyone's yacked out. Everyone's yacked out. They're passing around. Everybody's taking turns going to the bathroom. That's right. This is the go-go 2005s. Things were different back then. Tommy Lee bears it all for an internet site. Oh, Tommy Lee. Back when Tommy Lee was a thing. Pamela Anderson video. That box needs to be just a little bit bigger. But trust me, Mr. Mathis, we've completed your box, sir. We completed your what? Your box. Like, you know, okay, Tommy Lee was standing in a picture naked and they had a black box covering his wang.
Starting point is 00:35:03 And he said, I saw the Pamela Anderson video and it needs to be a little bit bigger. And then some, the cameraman comes out with a tiny little black piece of cardboard and he said, we've got your box, Mr. Mathis. The whole studio is in on it. That's what I'm saying. It's a big party. Yeah. He must be getting the ratings.
Starting point is 00:35:20 He must be getting the ratings. Got to be. I mean, I would tune in. Yeah. Just to see what kind of antics will happen next. That's right. Where? I want to-
Starting point is 00:35:28 I'll be getting my real weather from another source. That's it. I'd record it. And watching him for entertainment. Back then, I'd TiVo this on my 2005. But I want to understand exactly what's going on in the other news stations. Are they even trying to compete with this?
Starting point is 00:35:43 I don't think you can. Do they have their own yuckles over there? What's going on? I heard punk. Oh my God. He just held it in front of his- In front of his dick. Yeah, this is so sexually charged.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I hope this is the 11 o'clock news, not like the 6 p.m. Everybody in the studio's smiling. There's nobody laughing. No, I think it is the 11 o'clock news, not like the 6 p.m. Everybody in the studio's smiling. There's nobody laughing. No, I think it is like that. Well, I mean, he's coming on because he was just pointing out times that were in the tens. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Well, there you go. This is the 9 o'clock Fox News. Yeah. I think we're all embarrassed for you. Have you all seen the Pamela Anderson video? No, no. Come on. Folks, I got nothing tonight. I'm dying out here.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I'm dying. With this crowd, 73 for a current... Okay. All right. So that's four minutes of Mark Mathis. That's hard to believe. I didn't watch it all the way through. That is hard to believe.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Let me see here for a second. I can see how it all the way through. That is hard to believe. Let me see here for a second. I mean, I can see how it spices things up. Yeah. I just want to know if he's doing the same shtit, but he doesn't have any of his weather reports on here. Oh, here's one. Are we doing the Mount Rushmore? We are doing the Mount Rushmore. And the way this came about was several years ago, Lauren and I began this little Facebook deal,
Starting point is 00:37:10 and we would go on at night, and about nine o'clock, huge hit, hundreds of thousands of people would watch us, and then Paul took over for Lauren when she went to Good Morning San Diego. Paul and I did it, and he would always ask me, who would be on the Mount Rushmore for KUSI? Right. Yeah, so almost nightly and then he would get back for about a month at doing it together he gave me notes. And so we asked the viewers one time, what would you call this show? OCD and ADD. I mean it's the same dude.
Starting point is 00:37:41 It's the same dude. His hairline is a little further back in his head. He's got big old fat glasses, but he is literally the same guy. It is hard to understand how this guy made it any amount of time in media. It really is. But he's, it's a gem. It's a dead internet gem. I guess if you're in San Diego, you still get your fair share, your dose, your daily dose of Mark Mathis.
Starting point is 00:38:04 If you're in San Diego, I'd like to know, is Mark still doing this whole number, like this charged up, this sexual, this crazy, bringing people, you know, talking to girls in a certain way? If he is, I want you to text me 212-433-3TCB. Maybe Mark Mathis is someone that we should be interviewing. I think so, targeting. Yes, I mean, we had fun with Courtney Michelle, but Mark Mathis,
Starting point is 00:38:28 she didn't do the weather for us. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. We get a weather and a laugh. That would be fantastic. Double dose. All right, more fun after we take this break and we return. Come on! You make this rather snappy, won't you? I have somebody heavy thinking to do before 10 o'clock. Hi, cats and kittens, Rachel here. Do you ever get the urge to speak endlessly
Starting point is 00:38:51 into the void, like Brian? Well, I've got just the place for you to do that. 212-433-3TCB. That's 212-433-3822. Feel free to call and yell all you want. Tell Brian I need a race. Compliment Chrissy's innate ability to put up with all his shenanigans.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Or tell us a little story. The juicier, the better, by the way. We'd love to hear your voice because Lord knows we're done listening to ourselves. Also, give us a follow on your favorite socials at the commercial break on Insta, TCB Podcast on TikTok. And for those of you who like to watch,
Starting point is 00:39:26 oh, that came out wrong, we put all the episodes out on video, youtube.com slash the commercial break and tcbpodcast.com for all the info on the show, your free sticker or just to see how pretty we look. Okay, I gotta go now. I've got a date with my dog. No, seriously, Axel needs food.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Today is pork chop day. Prime Day is here. With great kitchen deals, greatness is a deal away. So if you love baking, you can get a deal on a new mixer, transforming you into the Lord of the Loaves. Hear ye, hear ye. Make way for the barren of brioche, the salty enough sourdough, the Lord of the Loaves. Okay, I'm gonna approach this subject delicately, Chrissy, because I don't want to make sure that I don't offend anybody's sensible ears.
Starting point is 00:40:29 We have talked here, and I think the internet has been aflame for the last couple of years, probably since 2020, with tradwife culture. Oh yeah. Traditional wife culture, tradwife. We've all seen it. We all know that it exists. That's the whole thing. It really, I think we can like trace its roots
Starting point is 00:40:45 back to some Mormon influencers out in Utah. And they have made a entire career. There's a whole industry. The Mormon moms have blossomed an entire industry around tradwifing and around this family vlogging and blogging and how life is perfect and they are subservient to the man and they make the dinners and they take care of the children
Starting point is 00:41:09 and they do it beautifully dressed and in perfect makeup and looking their best. Cool. You wanna do that? Cool. And Alison Hare, our friend Alison Hare, did an interesting episode of what was then called at the time, Culture Changers.
Starting point is 00:41:25 It's now called Reinvention Room. She changed the name of the podcast a couple of times. It's called Reinvention Room. She did an interesting episode about Tradwife and she got an interesting perspective on it. And that was that some women have a lot of, are feeling a lot of pressure to be both a mom and a moneymaker and this and that and everything. And that there's some, I guess, fantasy or they feel like it might free them up a
Starting point is 00:41:59 little bit just to perform in a traditional role of being a mom and a housewife. I'm not a woman, so I can't, I'm not here to talk about whether or not that's good or bad or indifferent. I don't love the tradwife thing. Yeah, I mean, I think it's to your own as far as what you would like to do, but yeah, it's not for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I know that it's definitely not for you, and I know it's definitely not for Astrid. I mean, I can't imagine her doing anything for me, let alone everything for me. I mean, it's just not the way we roll. And it's not what I would want out of a partner. Just not, I'm not interested in it at all. No, I'm looking for like a partnership.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Yeah. I do for you, you do for me too. And it could be more than one, one time, more than another, another time, but generally you're a team. Yes, and I do believe in chivalry. I do. That's how my, manners, that's how my parents raised me,
Starting point is 00:42:55 that's how their parents raised them, that's how I'm raising my children. You hold the door, ladies go first, all that good stuff you offer to pay. It's a nice touch. It's a nice touch. But, some people don't want it. Some people aren't interested in it.
Starting point is 00:43:09 And some people are way interested in it. Some people take chivalry to like a whole new level. There is a lady on the internet who has started talking about what she's referring to or what some other people are referring to as the princess treatment. Have you seen this whole fad going around? No.
Starting point is 00:43:24 This particular reel right here. I'm about to let you listen to a reel. It's a little bit long. It's about four or five minutes long. Actually, it's a TikTok video. This lady started the internet aflame when she, and I'll let her explain, but she shared how it wasn't acceptable for her husband to drop her off at the front of a restaurant to go in to get a table while he parked the car, that he needed to be the one that went in and asked for the table, that he needed to be the one that interacted with the hostess, that it was disrespectful for her to talk because he needed to be the one that let them. This is like taking this shit to a whole new level.
Starting point is 00:44:05 And she's being dead serious. There's not a bit of irony in this whatsoever. She is a trad wife. She's talking also about the difference between a housewife and a stay at home mom and how there's difference. I don't know. Let's listen to it and then we can get into it.
Starting point is 00:44:16 We'll debate it, all right? Let's listen to at least a little bit of it. Okay. The very first TikTok I did where I was like talking to the camera did really well. I remember it hit 10,000 views and I was freaking out. I was like, people are going to start being mean to me now. It was actually kind of scary.
Starting point is 00:44:32 But the conversation I was having, it was just like a random thought that I had. I was talking about housewives versus stay-at-home moms and I was saying, I'd recently been promoted to a stay-at-home mom, recently had stopped working, and my son is older. And so really my days had felt more like a housewife because I didn't have little children at home that I was in the trenches with. A lot of my days were just very relaxing and calming, like come and go and do what I want until pickup.
Starting point is 00:44:57 And so then that turned into the housewife shifts. I would walk you guys through how I broke up my day because I had a very specific system for how I would get things done during the day. And then the housewife shifts were born and then I talked to our princess treatment and then things turned into like I was the housewife princess. So that's how that came about. And then there were, you know, we've had conversations about summer starting and a lot of sometimes mean comments where people would say like, well, just wait for the summer
Starting point is 00:45:22 and then you're going to a stay at home mom again. And totally true, now that it's summer, it's my first summer not working, we don't have a lot of camps lined up, I just wanna enjoy it. And it's like I truly am back to being a stay at home mom, which is so funny, because I don't have the same kind of,
Starting point is 00:45:39 my son is older, things are easier time-wise, but it's just, it's not the same. So anyways, I got a comment on that video again today. I haven't seen a comment on that video in a long time, so it must be recirculating or something, but it just made me laugh because I was like, no, like I'm back in the stay-at-home mom trenches. Like I'm- I mean, honestly, like, stay-at-home mom is probably one of the most difficult and noble
Starting point is 00:46:03 things that anybody can do. Stay at home, dad, stay at home, mom. If you don't think for a second, that's a fucking job. It's a fucking job. Oh, full time. It's a full time, balls out, no time to yourself, stressful as it can be job. And especially if you've got multiples,
Starting point is 00:46:21 everybody's pulling, yanking on you. You gotta find things to keep them occupied and safe and fed and warm and clothed. I have the utmost respect for my wife and other parents out there who do that. I have the utmost respect for single moms or dads who do that. It's crazy. We have a friend who was a single mom, like truly single mom. Like the father just fucked off.
Starting point is 00:46:47 He was like a drug addict. He could care less. You know, he would show up once a year to do this or that. And she raised her two children on her own. And once I like got into her universe, I realized, and she worked. She brought home all the money. Yeah, you have to then. And I realized just how fucking difficult that is. But this whole tradwife thing takes this like to a new,
Starting point is 00:47:09 weird, in my opinion, creepy level. The video she's talking about with the princess treatment isn't one I was just talking about, is that she should not be interacting with anybody out there in the universe. Her husband needs to be leading the family. Her husband needs to be giving her the princess treatment. She explained that one day her husband dropped her, her husband and her wanted to go to a dinner. So they pull up
Starting point is 00:47:30 in the valet lane and he gets out of the car. He says to the valet, I'm going to go check and see if they have a table available. The valet says, okay. He goes in, he checks to see if there's a table. There is. He comes back to the car. He tells his wife to get out of the car while he goes and parks the car. This girl, she goes and she stands at the hostess' hand but does not interact with the hostess because that is what her husband is supposed to do. Princess treatment all the way and she explains that if I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom or a housewife or whatever, I need the full princess treatment. It's not my responsibility to do things like get a table, interact with hostesses, talk to anybody. Like this guy's ordering food for her.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I mean, the weird ass world that these people are living in, I just can't imagine. How did we get here, Chrissy? Yeah, I don't know. I really don't know, it's very foreign to me. And how do I become a house husband? Yes. With the prince treatment, that's what I want.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Astrid, go in there and get us a table and I will only be interacting with the hostesses if they are cute. That's it. I mean, this girl is like, this girl has really touched a nerve with a lot of people who are saying that by not taking responsibility for yourself and interacting and being a part of the conversation and getting involved. You are essentially acquiescing all of your, like wants and desires and life and willingness and free will to another human being.
Starting point is 00:48:58 And you're just becoming essentially like a little monster that this guy just kind of drives around and does for and does whatever. I mean, I don't understand it. Maybe someone can explain it to me. I gotta imagine somewhere in our audience, somewhere in our audience, there is a trad wife or someone who's into trad wifing.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Explain it to me. Explain to me why this feels good. Like a housewife or a stay at home mom, like in the most basic of senses, I can understand that all day long. It's a very noble thing to wanna stay home with your children and have that time and that precious little amount of time,
Starting point is 00:49:38 that first five or six years of their life, to get them started in life with all the love and care and daily interaction. But like baking an entire cake and like a $13,000 balanced Selangia dress or whatever they fucking call it. Yeah. It is, so that you don't look ugly for your husband
Starting point is 00:49:58 is like a whole level of insanity to me that I just don't think I understand. I don't either. I don't understand it either. But it's not for me. But you know, some people, that's really what they want to do and that's what the husband wants to go for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Whatever. Yeah. Maybe you should be my- I don't think we would be friends. No. I don't live in that world. But if that's what you'd like to do and everybody's happy. Cool. Cool. Cool.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Cool, dude. Maybe you should be my trad hostess. Like my co-hostess, my trad co-host, and you come in dressed in thousand dollar gowns and don't say anything unless spoken to. And some people might say, that's already happening, Brian. Minus the thousand dollar gowns, we can't afford that. No, we can't.
Starting point is 00:50:43 But there's something on sale somewhere. My finest Target. Your finest Walmart sweatpants, which by the way, those sweatpants are wonderful. You do love those. I do love my sweatpants from Target. I just am, I get incensed when I see stuff like this because I am under the impression
Starting point is 00:50:59 that this is just like a little bit backwards, but maybe my anger is misplaced. Maybe my irritation is misplaced. Maybe the- I mean, I guess what we all want is choice. Yeah. And if that is your choice, then- Then God bless you. Yeah, go for it.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Yeah. No one seems to be hostage here. No. Do you know what I'm saying? And they're making millions of dollars. There is one trad wife that is making like six and a half million dollars a year on her social media. Yes. Six and a half million dollars a year on her social media. $6.5 million a year on her social media. I can guarantee the balls in that family are worn by her and not him because she turned her love of cooking and tradwifing and dressing the children up in these million dollar outfits
Starting point is 00:51:41 and running them around like perfect JCPenney commercials, she turned that into a multi-million dollar enterprise and he's probably still at his job at the, you know, Spanky and Sparks law firm as a consultant or whatever, making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. And that is the ultimate empowerment, I guess, at the end of the day. Exactly. Right? She took something and ran with it and now she's got a fab, but not every, not every influencer that is a trad wife is like that. And Allison's episode made me think about this in a different way, because
Starting point is 00:52:14 Allison admitted on the episode that that is a fantasy to just be, all you do is just cook the food, take care of the kids, and then everything else is taken care of for you in a way that you don't have to be responsible for its stress about it. But Alison is the exact opposite, because Alison was raised by a mother who banged into her head, you must make your own money. Never rely on anybody else.
Starting point is 00:52:41 And so she has been at least a 50-50 breadwinner in that fam. I mean, Allison does more in one day than you and I will do in an entire month. I don't know how she gets it done. Look at Allison's social media. She does a lot. She's doing 75 things right now. Right now, she's biking on the belt line. She's heading to a yoga class where then she's going to learn how to make homemade cookies, and then she's going to go to a protest later, and then she's going to do aerial yoga, and by the time the day is done, she'll have learned seven new things.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Meanwhile, I'm lucky if we get this episode in the can before the end of the day. Lucky. Lucky. That's the extent of my work ethic. So in that sense, I guess I can appreciate that tradwifing, while not my thing, is a thing. It's a thing that people do. And it certainly is hot to trot on the internet. There are millions and millions and millions and millions of views on these posts. And whether it gets people irritated, you know, Professor G, Professor G, Prof. G, Professor Galloway?
Starting point is 00:53:45 You've talked about him. Okay. He's a guy that's on the internet. He's an author. He does a couple podcasts. He's on a lot of television. He does a lot of interviews on news when it comes to finances, when it comes to the manosphere, when it comes to men in 2025 and the things that are wrong, loneliness, society anyway. He used to be a professor. And he said that if you're on the internet and you're not getting negative comments, you're not getting people upset at what you're saying, you're not saying anything at all.
Starting point is 00:54:16 And so we are not doing it right because we don't get any comments. I'm kidding. Except from the one that said stay out of politics. Yeah, we do get quite a few comments actually. Where we don't get them is on our phone. People don't confront us directly. They do that out there in the internet. That's usually the case.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah, they don't do it directly on the phone, but man, do we get a lot of comments. Anyway, I thought I'd share this interesting post that has been setting the internet aflame about the housewives versus stay at home mom versus princess treatment and all that stuff. And- Yeah, no, I mean, I was raised to be pretty independent and I was for a very long time before I met Jeff. And, you know, even though I'm not the bread winner per se,
Starting point is 00:54:59 I- You're not the bread winner? With our finances here. You're not the bread winner? I contribute and that makes me happy. And I also love to cook and not bake, but cook. And do fun, you know, do yoga, do learn new things. And I think I would be really bored if I didn't have any goals or didn't want to go out to the world and talk to other
Starting point is 00:55:26 people. Yeah, no, I mean, if you don't want to go out in the world and talk to other people, and the truth is, I don't think anybody would accuse you of being a stay at home housewife. Like you come here, you do the work, we have lots of stuff that we do. You have other interests besides staying at home and cooking for Jeff. Nor do I think anybody would argue that Jeff wants you to be a stay at home housewife. He wants to get you out of the house just as much as you want to get out of the house. Well, he wants me to be happy and I love him for that. And so, you know, he supports me in whatever I like to do.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Yes. And even though this puts your account in the negative coming here, we have accomplished something. What that is, I don't know. There's going to be a retrospective on this show at some point. We've done a thousand episodes. Yeah, I don't think anybody can accuse us of not working. That part we got down. I was having a conversation with our agent and I'm like, we've got to be some of the hardest working people in podcasting, to which he giggled a little bit. But I mean, in podcasting, there's a lot of people who do podcasts and they do a bunch of other stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:25 But in just podcasting, we've got to be some of the hardest working people out there. We've got a thousand episodes we've been doing this show for five years. That's a lot of episodes. We have to pare down the amount of episodes we do. We should go back to once a week. I know. Well, then we'd really be in the negative if we did that. We got to start a TradWife account.
Starting point is 00:56:43 We need to. That's where all the money is, apparently. All right, okay. Overfoot finder. TradWife, you're out there in our audience. I know you are. You know I'm talking to you. Text us, 212-433-3TCB, 212-433-3822.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Let us know what exactly is attractive about being a TradWife. Why you like it, why you don't like it, whatever. Let us know. Yeah. I'll ask Mark Cuban what he thinks about trad life. Yeah, shoot him an email. Yeah, let me irritate him maybe more than I've already irritated him. I mean, he snapped back real quick, two minutes. It was like 11.45 at night too. He came right back at me. He's probably sitting in his, I just imagine Mark sitting in his, you know, palatial estate, either in bed or on a couch watching bat,
Starting point is 00:57:32 you know, foot, whatever he's doing, watching sports of some sort. And he sees my name come up and he's like, yes, that asshole. Fuck you, Brian. Been waiting for this all year. Like I said, at least he responds. He does. Until the next time we irritate each other, Mark. I love you, buddy. Door is wide open. All right.
