Leading Krissy to agree...let it go Bryan!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

On this episode of the commercial break. We disagree on a lot of stuff. Not fight like yell and scream, but we go out. Yeah, yeah, but heads. Eventually, the Irish guy goes, who fucking cares, Brian? It's not working. Let it go. Just let it go.

Smart man. And so I tell her, I go, you know what? I'm not releasing it. She goes, no, no, no, I just want to reshoot it with me in a robe. And I go, honey, if we redo it in a robe, the innuendo is gone. Like, why did you take the towel off the rope? You know what I'm saying? Why would you take a towel off the room?

The innuendo is gone. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, just don't worry about it. I'm letting it go. I'm letting it go. But I can't let it go. I can't fucking let it go. My fucking brain won't let it go.

The next episode of the commercial break starts now. My favorite. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show. Chris, enjoy Haudley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian.

Best to you out there on the show. the podcast universe and the streaming universe. Thanks for joining us on yet another episode of this commercial break. The only one you'll ever need. The only one you ever need. Fact fiction are new. The podcast is a lot of time. Got the TCBPodcast.com to collect your winning.

Get your sticker. And get your free sticker. TCBPadcast.com. Still got stickers in case you don't have any. I've got some left. There's like 30 of them. And maybe we'll do a new sticker in 2026, but we had a lot going on there. So we decided to.

Yeah. And we have stickers. So we have extra stickers. if you need it. We bought a lot of them and we don't need all of them. So please, please. We got them to give away. Yeah. And we have some extra hats and a couple extra sweaters and stuff like that. So if you guys want some TCB merch, email us through the website and we will do our best to accommodate if available. And it doesn't cost us a lot of money in postage and handling. We'll figure that out. Yeah, we had some people that that heated the call when I said TCB Classic. Let us know which episode. Oh, good. Yes. We had some suggestions.

Yes, and we had a number of people that dialed in and told us which episodes they would like to hear in TCB Classic. Two people, I think we have one episode in the running because two people named the same episode. And out of 900 episodes, when two people named the same episode, there's something going on. Pay some attention. Pay some attention. And that would be two weddings and a funeral where I talk about my mother going to Irving's funeral. Funeral, yes. I mean, that really is a classic. One guy said, I think his name was Vinny. He said, listen, I think it was his brother, had just passed away, and it was a tough time for him. And he heard the episode. And he said, I just could not stop laughing at that episode. Please, please play it. You can use my name. Please, please play it. And I will. I'll do that this Friday. Two weddings and a funeral, TCB Classic coming up. So two of you request and it shall be done. Look at that.

It really was a hit. Yeah, a super majority of our fans had spoken. And that's it. There you go. So we, and then somebody asked why have, why has the schedule been a little funky? Well, it's a couple of different things, but I was sick on it. Whatever, it doesn't matter. We're here now. What does it matter? What does it matter? We're here now. We do 70. We thought we wanted to do one thing. As per usual with us and the commercial break, we decide one thing and then change it. Yeah. And then that's how we keep everybody on their toes.

That's right, including ourselves. Yes. And you know what? That's the beauty of the pie. podcast world. We can literally, but I will tell you what, since we started this show, there has not been a week where we have not done an episode. Not one, not one. Not one. Not one week have we ever missed an episode. A couple we've had to play like, you know, TCB classics or whatever. But we've never missed a publishing schedule. And that's more having to do with my OCD than anything. But I would say you right now. There is plenty of commercial break. We're consistently inconsistent. Consistently inconsistent. Good way. Good way to put it, Chrissy. We don't know our hands. from a hole in the ground. That's what Chrissy's trying to say. And neither does the podcast industry. We're consistently schizophrenic.

Yes. We're schizoaffective. We're going to do this. We're going to do that. Oh, my God. Speaking of schizoaffective, I'm not going to name names because I do not want to psych shame anybody. And a mental illness is a serious thing.

And there's no fun to be made. It's like having cancer. Only you can't see it and it affects the way you behave so people misunderstand you. So I'm, I really am not shitting on anybody. No, we raised money for mental health awareness. That's right. Mental health awareness. That's right. And both of us have had family members who have been affected by serious mental disorders or psychological, problem, emotional traumas, whatever you want to call it, you know, diagnosed on diagnosed. We all know people who are suffering or have suffered temporarily, permanently, whatever. You get it.

But the internet, the social media really brings that out in some people. There are, there is one person in particular that I have followed for a very long time. And I'm not even going to, I'm not even going to give the description. It's that girl. Okay. And she's literally falling apart on social media. And I almost, I came this close to DMing her the other day. Because her stuff pops up because I watch a lot of her stuff. And if I'm being honest, I watch it for the entertainment value. But I'm starting to see that that's, That is exactly what she doesn't need. She doesn't need people hate watching her essentially. I don't hate her, but I'm just like amused. Well, it's like a train wreck. It's a train wreck.

You can't look away. It's really hard to look away. But that's the downside of social media is that if you're having a moment and you put it out there, then everybody watches it, but they're not watching it for the right reasons. And she's clearly having an episode. She's clearly falling apart. She's clearly in trouble. Like, clearly.

She's not making any sense. She's all over the place. She's crying one moment. She's laughing the next. She's talking nonsensically. She's talking about beings and entities and all this other stuff. It's at another level now, right? Right, because she was the one that thought she had a relationship with the country music star.

Morgan Whalen. Morgan Wallen, whatever his name is. She still believes that, right? She believes that Morgan Wallen is, she believes that Morgan Wallen owes her an explanation and an apology. because she was catfish by someone who claimed that they were Morgan Wallen. Morgan Wallen doesn't know you shit. He just doesn't. Right.

But she's under the delusion that somehow Morgan Wallin has now further harmed her by not reaching out and talking to her. And she talks to him. She like goes on dates with him online. It's weird. It's weird. Goes on dates. Yeah. So a couple of like a month and a half ago, two months ago,

when she started going on like pretend dates with him with her phone, you know, like taping it for social media. I'm pretending I'm on a date with social with Morgan Wall and hi Morgan. Here's what we're going to do today. Here's where we're going. Like really delusioned shit. Oh God. I was like, okay. No thanks. Like I'm out. Peace out. See you later. And so I just kind of ignored any posts that came up. And then a couple, like maybe I don't know, like five posts ago. She like really, she was naked in her kitchen on the floor crying. Oh, no. And I really thought about, like, DMing her and being like, girl, girlfriend, been there, done that scene, this movie. You need professional help. Right. And stop filming. Yeah, and stop filming. Immediately. Cut yourself off. Like, call Instagram, tell them to never

allow you to have an account again, because this is doing way more harm than it ever, than it ever could. But the problem is, is that when she did this whole, you know, filming, you know, filming, of this breakdown that she had, almost no one ever likes her comments on her posts. But this time, a bunch of people came out of the woodwork and were like, hey girl, we support you, you know, don't, because she said, this is the last time I'm ever going to

post on social media, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And people were like, no, no, don't go away. You know, we love you, blah, blah, blah, blah. And fed into the psychosis, I think. And now, so I was like, okay, I'm going to DM this person once, just once, and I'm going to say, hey, I'm going to give her, the comforting words that I know to give her,

I don't know if it'll work, but then I thought better of it. Because she also has a tendency to take DMs that people send her and, like, go crazy on them and, like, tell her the people that are following her to, like, go to the page. And, you know, this person is abusing me, you know, unfollow them. And I was like, no, I don't want to be in the fracas. I don't want to be in the fracas. Yeah. This whirling dervish is not something that I want to be a part of at all. So eventually, the bottom line is I unfollowed.

I was just like, you know what, there's nothing I can do. I think that was the best. There's nothing I can do. Yeah. There's nothing I can do. Now, that said, where is she located? I don't even want to say. Okay.

I don't even want to say here in the United States, but I don't want to say. I don't want to give anybody ammunition to then go do the same thing that I was doing. I realized that it was just like a parosocial relationship that I was having. And I was essentially enjoying the train wreck, right? And I don't need to enjoy somebody else's train wreck. I'm a train wreck enough. I don't mean. I'm sure that.

People are watching me for the same reasons. And I don't need it. But at least I know that some people might be watching me for the train wreck. Like, I get it. Yeah, you showed me a few of those posts and I was like, I had to look away. It was painful to watch. It is painful to watch. It's painful when you see somebody.

I don't know this person. I have never known this person. The reason why I followed this person was because she was going through this catfish drama. And it was entertaining. I thought it was entertaining. And at the moment, I thought, poor girl got catfished. Let's see how this, let's see how the story ends. By the way, she was on like a show, too.

She was on a television show. That's how I even found out about it. And I imagine that's how most people found out about it, right? How found out about her account. She's got a couple thousand followers. It shrinks. It's shrinking because I think people like me are going, no, we don't need to contribute to this.

All that said, that's the kind of train wreck. I need to step away from. I don't want to watch that kind of train wreck. I don't want to watch children getting hurt, essentially. Oh, God, no. And I'm just giving an example. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm making a metaphor.

It's a terrible metaphor, but whatever. But the kind of train wreck that I like to watch is our other friend that I like to watch on social media. Who starts every single real, every single video by talking to someone else off the camera. Like, you're interrupting his conversation. Yeah, like you're just popping in. Yes, it is so fucking strange, and I don't understand what the deal is. He'll be like, let me give him a name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, yep, okay, two Grammys. I think we're going to be nominated for two Grammys this year. Oh, hey, guys, how you doing? It's Sammy, your old friend Sammy, and I'm going to be playing Josh's Deli next Tuesday, sold out, but I have some extra tickets available. Give me a call. Okay, do we get those Grammys? Yeah, we got them. Great. God, I know. Yeah, he's been doing that for years. That's right. Did the Oscar invitation come through yet? Oh, hey, didn't see you there.

Yes, you did. You press record. Right. You press record. Oh, I didn't realize all of life. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Oh, sorry about that. Tell Chappelle I'll have to call her back. Chappelle Rhone. Tell her I'll have to call. Oh, my gosh. I'm instantaneously on a video on Instagram. So sorry to keep you waiting. I was doing unimportant work of talking to Chappelle Rhone.

And by the way, he's not talking to Chappelle Rhone. No. But that's the kind of delusion, I think. That's an appropriate train wreck to watch because he knows better. He's just being an idiot. Yeah. And why is he doing that? Excuse me. He's got some. I know. I think you've giving me that cough. God. I was so excited because my cough had gone away. Then I've been hanging out with you. And now I got the cough back. Anyway. It's terrible. I had, it was gone yesterday and now it's back because you're here.

I think it's a studio. I think it might be. Maybe we need to clean the drapes. Astrid wants to get rid of these so badly. Yeah, once we find a way to make money doing this, then we're going to change these drapes. Well, also, too, not to bring up the weather again, but we're having crazy warm weather right now. I've seen stuff sprouting out, blew me out, and that's going to be spring allergies hit me. Insane. Yeah.

Anyways, the guy that we were just talking about, he has some kind of like notoriety. He does. Because he was on, again, he was on a show. I would call him E list. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but E list. Yeah, E, meaning you are. He slash to F. You're an extra in the reality in the famous universe, right?

You, some people, some very small amount of human beings, may still remember you from something that you did. And you did it well. I will say that. I'm not even going to get into who it is. Because I don't mean to, like, trash the guy. He seems very nice. He's just an idiot. He's just an idiot.

Yeah. That's been driving you crazy for years with him because he's doing it. Oh, he begged me for a year to come on our show. Oh, that's right. That's right. Oh my God. And at first, geez Christ, man. And at first I was like, okay, it was the beginning of the show.

Yeah. We were on Clubhouse. That's right, Clubhouse. And I thought to myself, oh, look at this guy. He was on a thing. He did a thing. Like a singing thing. Yeah, and a singing thing.

And then he gave me his bio, and it was, like, rather impressive. He was, like, you know, nominated for two, you know, Music of the Year awards. But then when I started to like really dig into it, but I realized it's a lot of made-up awards and a lot of made-up things. And like we all do on our resumes. He beefed it up a lot. Okay, yeah. Like Atlanta's Best of? Yeah, Atlanta's Best of.

Where you just pay to be in the magazine and then we did the award. We did Atlanta's Best Up and we didn't even pay. They just begged us to do it. They were like, but you write it. And I was like, me, I write it? We'll give you the questions. You give us the answers. Oh, that's right.

Yeah. So I made this whole thing. So now even sometimes when you Google the commercial break, What comes up first is the best of Atlanta. That's right. I forgot about that. The best of it. We're not even the best.

That and podcast magazine. Oh my God. Podcast magazine. Which is funny because that's kind of how we met this guy. It's like in this inner, you know, this fucking incestual cluster fuck of podcast universe. We met this guy. He begged me for a year to come on. I told him yes at first.

And then I just kind of like ghosted him a little bit because I was like, eh. I started to see what was really going on. And I was like, well, two hundred and twelve far. followers. I don't know how famous you could be. But we had 112. So I figured, you know, hey, listen. It was a double. Double what we had. That's right. But now he's just. He's still doing it. Well, he's speaking of consistency. He does it. He's staying consistent with what I think he thinks works. I think he thinks it works. Looks good. He keeps mentioning that he's got that he's in that he's a top podcast in the world. Yet he only does. does a podcast like, you know, four times a year. He puts out an episode, but he says it's monthly,

but it's really only four times a year. And I don't see anywhere where his podcast is the top podcast in the world. But listen, that is the nature of the podcast business. We've been on Apple charts. We've been high on Apple charts. And I'll be honest with you, it doesn't make a shit from Shinola. It really doesn't mean we have the most traffic. Doesn't mean we're the most popular. Doesn't mean we have the most reviews or the most stars. It doesn't mean we're in the conversation with the other ones around us. It just means that for some reason, that's how Apple ranks like podcasts. I think it's how many people unfollow you in a day and you go up. And I think that's how we got there. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's not important.

None of that shit is important. What's important is y'all. Are you tuning in? Yes. And thank you to the people that are in the streaming. Yeah. Thank you to the people that are in the stream right now. And there's been a lot of people who have traveled in and out over the last couple of weeks. I actually enjoy doing it live because it gives it. There's some it's like flying without a net a little bit. Yeah, exactly. It's some kind of feedback too. Puts a little fire in my bones. A little fire under my balls. I like, I like warm balls. I don't know about you. And ball warmer, it's a bit of a ball warmer. It's a bit of a ball warmer, Chrissy. As I've always said, I'm sure how my children's teachers are tuning in.

Yes, that's right. Oh my God. Now that your secret's out. Astrid and I got in the biggest disagreement about my social media. You would not believe. Oh, do tell. Well, you know, the commercial break isn't the only place where you can see me be a train wreck. You can also see me be a train wreck on Instagram, too. And my personal Instagram has become a bit of a hotbed for Latinos, Latinos, and Venezuelans.

more specifically. And gringoes who are involved with Latinas, Latinos, and Venezuelans specifically. Because there's a lot out there. It's a ton out there. And by the way, I'm not the only gringo that does this either. There are like five or six of us who have some measure of fans. And I'm the smallest of them all. Some of them have hundreds, a thousand. One is almost out a million followers. I mean, he's a big deal, right? And he makes a living doing this and all this. But I've been having a great deal of fun. No money. Just having a great deal of fun, throwing out content that's relevant to my multicultural wife and my multicultural life. Okay, so you listen to the commercial break, then you know this. I don't need to repeat myself. But I started making content

specifically about the multiculturalism in, let's call it November of last year. So it's only like five months old that I've really been doing this. I've got like maybe 30, 40, 50 posts. And I do it pretty consistently. It's like every day or every other day I put out a new post. And some of them hit and some of them don't some of them have a million views some of them have 500,000 views. Some of them have 5,000 views. Which if this was the commercial breaks account, we would die for 5,000 views on anything. But I'm a little braddy now and I'm like, hey, like, thing, thing, d. And my wife's like, shut up. What do you talk? You're bratty about what? Like your notoriety? I get braddy about like the statistics sometimes, right? And I'm just being honest, right? You put you, you, you've think of an idea, you put some hard work into it. You flush it out. You write a script. You've tailored the script.

You do it over. You sit in the camera for 45 minutes doing it over and over to get it right. And then it flops. Yeah. And on my personal account, a flop is like, you know, five, six thousand views, right? Which, again, six months ago, five or six thousand views would have been the best things and sliced bread for all of us here. And just being honest about that.

Now I got a little spoiled because a lot of my reals... That's the nature of the game. That's why I got off of it, quite frankly, because it's a wheel of, you know, oh, you get a little bit of love. Expectation. Yeah. And then, yeah, then you expect more of it. And when you don't get it, then it hurts your feelings. Yes.

If I'm 100% honest, I got a little spoiled. And it's not about the, the hearts don't make me feel anyway. I love the engagement. I like talking to people. I like when I talk back and forth to people, like on DMs and stuff like that. Or I go live sometimes and people join me on the live and we talk about Venezuela or whatever, the funny things that happen. Okay. That's besides a point.

But I get a little brady about this stuff. But I came up with an idea and I run in the kitchen the other day and I tell Astrid about this idea. And she says, no, I don't think that hits, but what about this idea? She's like my executive producer. Yes. She's like tailor it a little bit like. She's a great sounding board. That's right.

tweak it a little bit, tweak it to this, which then led to a third iteration. Let me give you a little bit of an idea about the process. My thought was being with a point of view, being with a Latina is like, be like, okay? And I walk into the bathroom and Astrid's hand comes out of the bathroom door with a towel. And I'm like, oh, yeah. What's that? And warms your balls? Worms my balls, exactly.

The innuendo is there, right? and she has, I just see her arm and the towel comes out, right? And I'm like, oh yeah, write some music playing behind it or whatever. And the next shot is me sleeping outside pulling the towel up like a blanket. Right. Okay. All right. That is my idea, which I still might do, by the way. Don't take my idea. All right. So that's the idea. I walk in, Astero's like, yeah, funny, but not that funny. I don't know if, I don't know if it would be culturally relevant. She goes, what if you put the towel, like the towel ends up on a pile of laundry. And then I turn it into a third version, which is, what if the same thing. I walk into the room, towel comes out, but then the next shot is me with a pile of laundry and she's putting the

towel on the laundry. And then I'm saying, give your Latina the load she really wants of laundry. Right? Okay. Okay. There you go. Okay. So that's what's currently on my Instagram. You can go watch. All right. So fully executed. But now, the amount of drama. that this real caused internally in this household is significant. And I had to make a determination at one point in the argument, I am not getting a divorce over fucking Instagram. No. That's not happening.

I don't care. I don't care that much. It's a fucking real. I'm not going to do it. Okay. All right. Now, I'll tell you this story. Let's take a break.

And when I get back, I'll give you all of the details. I can't wait. This will probably cause a divorce. Oh, God. It's going to reignite. Yeah. It's going to reignite passions. So at least listen through the commercial break, okay?

Oh, and by the way, somebody said there's like six commercials before the show. Oh. Yes. Sometimes there are multiple commercials before the show because with this new hosting platform, it's about the amount of time that the commercials take, not about the amount of commercials. In other words, with Odyssey, you might have heard two or three minutes of commercials. in every break, including the ones before and the ones after the show, the pre-roll and the post-roll. Now, still the same amount of time, just different amounts of commercials.

They'll do 10, 15, 30-second, 45-second commercials. So just know the amount of time that we take on commercial breaks has not changed. The number of ads might change. So I hear you. I would prefer quicker commercials anyways when I'm listening to other podcasts. Yeah, just move on. Okay. And if it's really that irritating,

DM us at the commercial break on Instagram. I want your feedback. So if it gets like overly irritating, then let me know. I know ads aren't your favorite thing in the world. I get it. But we got to make some money somehow. And trust me, that's getting harder and harder to do in the podcast universe. And we'll continue to get harder to do.

So we need all the help that we can get. And this is the help that we're, that this is what's come to the rescue right now. So it's not, no amount of time has changed just the amount of commercials. Okay. I just wanted to explain that. All right. Let's take a break. Now that you know all about the podcast, you yours.

And then we're going to hear the Instagram story. So Brian's answer is, fuck you. We're going to play them anyway. And then we'll hear about the Instagram story. We'll be back. Two and Two. Hey, it's Rachel. Your new voice of God here on TCB.

And just like you, I'm wondering just how much longer this podcast can continue. Let's all rejoice that another episode has made it to your ears. And I'll rejoice that my check is in the mail.

Now, I'm going to go check the mailbox for payment while you check out our sponsors. And then we'll return to this episode of the commercial break. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. All right. Okay. You'll have to tell me more about that later. Anyways, oh, hey. I didn't realize you were here. Hey, I have no idea. You were here after I opened the camera and press record. Exactly. While I've got you, let me tell you, we will be playing Titty Joe's Cafe and Coffee Shop next Tuesday at 2.15 p.m. to 2.25 p.m. Tickets are going fast. Actually, there are no tickets. Just show up. I was a former American Idol extra. No, the guy is bona fides. He actually did the thing. He did the thing twice, actually. So me figure that one out. That's true. Yeah, now maybe you have enough information to go figure that out.

All right. So, okay, so here's my idea. My idea is I walk in the room. Esther's hand comes out of the door. All you see is the hand with the towel. The innuendo is there. She just got out of the shower. She dropped her towel.

And I go, oh, yeah. And she goes, oh, yeah. And I go, oh, yeah. Hold on one minute. And then I turn around, leave the room, come back with a pile of laundry. Towl goes on top of the laundry. Next shot is me putting the laundry into the washer. Give your Latina the load she really wants.

of laundry. Okay. All right. Yes. It's an innuendo. It's all immuendo based. All right. So now, a little backstory on this. For the four or five months that I have been doing this, of course, the main, the sun in this universe, the black hole, the infinity pool of my universe as far as listening or as far as talking about multiculturalism is my wife, because she is, Venezuelan and that is where I get most of my content from. Now, I've known Venezuelans for 30 years, long before I met my wife, but this is the thing that's in my universe. Now, my kids are partially Venezuelan. Right. And the day-to-day living. But Astrid is terribly shy. Yes. It took me three years to get her in that seat. Three years to get her in that seat. And it took a long time to get her comfortable with that idea. Okay. She didn't want to hear her voice on camera. She didn't want her voice on camera. She doesn't want her face on camera. She gets used to the idea, but she really, doesn't like it. Yeah. But the people on my Instagram are clamoring for Astrid.

Clammering. Instagram has a thing called edits. Edits is essentially an edit app where you can record your videos and it makes it easy for you to edit them. Cut, paste, slice, add text, add music, all that stuff. It also keeps track of the comments once you post the video. Okay? So when it does that, it will summarize it.

via AI. So it'll say, you have a new summarization. So on these posts that sometimes get millions of views, Astrid, I mean, the comment section gets summarized, and I will bet you every fourth one, or every third or fourth one, says, users suggest bringing Brian's wife into the videos, right?

Users want Brian's wife in the videos. The demand. The people are demanding it. They're clamoring for Astrid. Okay. But she's never been on the channel. I eventually got her to use her voice in some incredibly popular reels that went around. I loved it. I thought it was great. People loved her. They love her. They loved her. Who wouldn't? She's gorgeous. She's funny. She's interesting. She's intelligent. And she's Venezuelan. All the things. It gives me the bona fides. It's my street cred. Right. Yeah. That's my girl. But she's my wife also. So I understand this is a anxiety for her. I don't want to make it crazy. Right. I don't want to make her crazy. I don't want to push too hard. I don't want to push too hard. Okay. So I convince her to do this real with me. And the real basically is I just need her hand and the towel and I need two face shots, right?

Of her with a towel wrapped around her head, here up, shoulders up, going like this. Okay? And I shoot it. And I shoot it. Oh, she did it? Yes. And it is perfection. It is so fucking funny.

I loved it. I don't know. I think it's going to be it. I don't know if it's going to be it. I don't care if it's going to be a hit. To me, it's perfection. It is funny fucking shit because of the way I cut and spliced it. And she's on screen total of three seconds, total.

But she gets so frazzled at the idea that she is naked on the camera when she's really not. Her shoulder is naked, but she's really not. And we go round one, round two, ten rounds on this, back and forth. It is just going back and forth. Did you want you to completely scrap it? She wanted me to put a black box to edit it so just her neck up. Okay. Okay.

Well, that's a big step for her. That's a big step for her. I mean, to show the face. I know. And eventually, the Irish man and the Venezuelan woman who fight like cats and dogs when it comes to anything, like, we disagree on a lot of stuff. Not fight like yell and scream, but we go out. Yeah, butt heads.

Eventually, the Irish guy goes, who fucking cares, Brian? Yeah. Let it go. Just let it go. Smart man. And so I tell her, I go, you know what? I'm not releasing it. She goes, no, no, no.

I just want to reshoot it with me in a robe. And I go, honey, if we redo it in a robe, the innuendo is gone. Like, why did you take the towel off the robe? You know what I'm saying? Why would you take a towel off a rope? That's just the innuendo is gone. Blah, blah, blah. Okay, just don't worry about it.

I'm letting it go. I'm letting it go. But I can't let it go. I can't fucking let it go. My fucking brain won't let it go. My fucking, I have this incredibly. Waking up thinking about it. Yes.

Going to sleep. Thinking about it. All day, all night. Driving around. Like, rewatching it over and over again. Like, I probably put it out. She would never know. You know, I'll put it on YouTube.

She'll never know. But I'm like, no, no, no. But of course, I'm not going to do that. But I'm just thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. And I'm like, I know that it's a beautiful shot of her face. She looks beautiful.

half the half of instagram is innuendo it's like you know this is the least risk a thing you've ever seen on on instagram but but i have to understand her point of view so i'm like okay all right but so i keep telling myself let it fucking go brian just let it go of all the hills you're gonna die on this is not the one like you have let bigger steps of this you're chasing those stats chasing those views baby uh-huh i think what i'm really chasing is the idea that i know once people see how Astrid's face, and especially this particular shot where I think she looks particularly beautiful, that people are going to love it. They're going to be like... Well, that's probably Astrid's fear, too, is that people are going to love it. It's going to fly all over the place, and there she is not feeling quite comfortable. You said what she said, and I just couldn't fucking let it go. So day goes by, two days goes by.

The other night, I walk in. She's watching TV, and I say, hey, babe, listen, I love you. Thanks for all the help the last couple of days. I really appreciate it. What if I tailor the video just a little bit so that it's just like here up, like nothing like this? And she's like, I swear to God, I swear to God. I will think about it. But I don't know if I'm going to do this.

You're just trying to wear her down. I was a little bit trying to like, you know, sandpaper it down, sandpaper the sharp edges down. Yeah, just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit. Please, please, please. I know this is the one. I know this is the great introduction to the Instagram page. Come on, baby, no whammy. Come on, baby, no whammy's, no whamies.

And eventually, she said, I'm never going to look at your Instagram page again, but you can send it out. With the, if you edit the view, like, you can send it out. And I did. And people loved it. And it went crazy. They loved it. Now, listen, it's not going to get a million views. But maybe in this case, that's the best thing.

but I love the idea that now like the seal is broken because now I can bring Astrid onto the channel and hopefully hopefully she'll be a little less stressed about how people are going to react to her on the channel listen people on Instagram they they some of them don't understand that this is a parissocial relationship you should see you should see some of the DMs that I get they're really weird I bet people are strange Well, there's a lot of people in the world and a lot of them aren't well. A lot of them aren't well. That's what I said. Yeah.

Now, most of the DMs, 95% of them, but perfectly fine. They're lovely. But there's a, there are that, there's that 5% where you really have to, like, you have to be mindful of who you respond to because you don't want people going like, oh-hoo, like people go. Right. God. It's nuts. I had this one guy. I put out a reel about something completely innocuous, completely innocuous.

Yeah. The dumbest shit you've ever heard of. Like food, no one cares. No one cares. And this guy went fucking bananas. You're a fucking retard. You're a pop-da. I can't believe you would do this.

This food company is funded by Maduro. And I'm like, what are you talking about? First of all, with the language, dude, please. Second of all, I said, dude, you are so willing to throw out like really harsh work. Did you respond? I did. Okay. I did because I felt I wanted to defend.

I felt I wanted to talk some common sense into the guy. Like, first of all, you don't know me and you're willing to throw out these words to me over a real about food. Like, where are you coming from? I don't understand why you're so angry. Second of all, where in the world did you get the idea that this food company is funded by the Venezuelan regime? I don't think they have any money, first of all. Second of all, what are you fucking talking about? Did he come back with an okay response?

He never responded, but he follows me. And it's like, oh, okay. He's hate watching. He's hate watching for sure. You know, social media is a weird thing. And I'll share with you a video that I saw yesterday. It kind of summarizes. My thoughts about social media and I think where it's headed in general.

In 1962, there were two famous scientists. who did something called the rat colony experiment. Oh, yeah. They started with four rats, two males, two females. Okay. And for a decade, they allowed the rats to propagate, essentially. And within a year, they had hundreds of rats. Within two years, they had thousands of rats.

Within three years, they had 10,000 rats. And within seven years, they had five rats, like five, five rats. five rats. And they did nothing except feed the rats and give them a place to live. That's it. They were in like a big warehouse space. And they just observed what happened. And what happened was the civilization died.

And it died because they got overstimulated with the interaction with each other. Males started to groom themselves, like what they would call super males, started to groom themselves and became disinterested in the females. They became more interested in a. attacking the weaker males and grooming themselves, essentially, right? You see where I'm going with this? Yes. Okay? The females became disinterested in the males.

Because they were acting like idiots. Because they were acting like idiots, right? They were acting too aggressively. So the females shied away from them, and they went to their corners, and they didn't have babies. And eventually, the population went backwards until it died off. And that's just what it did. It just died off within 10 years. It exploded in five.

It died in five. that's what happened. And I think so. And so some people are now making comparisons to this groundbreaking study. They're making comparisons to what we're experiencing now or our children will experience when it comes to social media. We are over-stimulated by each other. And therefore, we are not stimulated by anything. And I see, even though I'm on social media and I do social media and I enjoy interacting with people on social media and I enjoy getting the content out there on social media. I see how social media desensitizes us to so many of life's small wonders because we're all too busy with our heads and our fucking phones to realize what's going

on in the world around us. And this is especially true when it comes to our children who are now not populating like we used to, not even interested in. sex like we used to, and the males are looks maxing and grooming themselves. Oh, my God, the looks maxing guy. Did you read in the Times about this guy? Yeah. Cavacur? What? Holy shit. I was like, what? First of all he makes $100,000 a month across his, you know, channels and all of that. But it's really crazy. And I mean, to read that interview with him, I was like, this guy isn't right. And the people that are looking at him are right either. What's happening? I don't know. I didn't. not read the interview, but I did the research. I saw the headline and then it was paywalled. And I was like, now fuck that. I'm not paying for the, what was it? New York Times? Yeah. It was the Times. We dropped our New York Times subscription just because it was not something that we were getting much use out of. Right. And not that we don't like the New York Times. We do. But I went, this is my first time, not hearing of the guy, but understanding. Like just the blurb told me something that was interesting. And I went and did my own research. And I found a lot of interviews. And I

watched him with the guy. This guy is grooming himself for other males. That's what he's doing. He's not grooming himself for males, for females. He's grooming himself for other males. And so I wonder what's really going on there. Like, why is he breaking his jaw? Yeah. Tanning himself to death, you know, listen, I tan myself too, but I'm not breaking my nose to get, you know, long, a bit more elongated features. Yeah, he wants to be like the perfect, quote unquote, perfect. I mean, I mean. a specimen of a male. But he really is a douchebag. Well, and he's also kind of a pickup artist because that's he, and he even admits

he's like, all these guys watch me on here because I, he was like going out on a date with a girl and he was like, yeah, all these guys watch me on here because they can't get dates. Well, congratulations to you. But that is very strange. It's very strange. All of these pickup artists that we have been busting on for years and years and years. have turned falsely, have turned the very nuanced idea of courting into what they call a science.

A formula. A formula, which doesn't work for most people. And social media has turned the female attention toward super males that, quite frankly, have no one's best interest in mind. They are literally lug nuts, right? And this has then been fed by this ultra masculine, I hate to say it, but these brocasters and MAGA and all this other stuff, take the politics out of it. That's the way that they lean, that the world is somehow being taken away from males and that we all need to like toughen up and, you know, bulk up and get guns and, you know, piss on each other's plates. And that's just not the way an evolved society works. So

therefore we are currently depopulating in the rat colony the rat kingdom we are currently depopulating and it is because we are acting like fucking idiots that's it i don't know that there's anything we can do to stop it to be honest with you i really don't know i think the the trains left the station i know but i feel so bad for my kids yeah yeah well i mean there could be a back i see i do see a lot of backlash to it of people kind of giving up all of it and saying let's go back to analog things. Let's go back to getting away from our screens. There would be nothing that I would like more than to get rid of my, I have turned off text messages. I've turned them off. I mean, not turned them off like I can't get them. I only look

at them once a day or twice a day at most because it's now the email. It was like my email for Blackberry. Anybody can get a hold of you at any time for any reason, right? And I just, people on emergency contact. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care. Ten years ago. 20 years ago, you would have to call my fucking house phone, 30 years ago, call my house phone and wait for me to respond when I got home. And there wasn't always this pressure to perform and to be on and to respond and to get to you back to you right away. And if I don't respond to you in 10 minutes, you know, this increasing urgency. I don't care. I really don't. I would like to be left alone sometimes. Yeah, you have to jump off the wheel at some point. You know, I told you this. Back when I worked at Clear Channel, I came up with, I don't know if I read it or I heard it, I don't know where I came up with the thought. Maybe it was Mark Cuban.

I don't know. I checked emails twice a day. That was it. And now I've gone to this with text messages. I almost never answer the phone unless you're in emergency contact. But now I check text messages and emails twice a fucking day. And if that, and that's it. But, you know, I'm not trying, I'm not going to be teaching my kids about looks maxing.

that's for fucking sure. That's insane. Yeah, I guess his parents tried to stop him, too. He's been doing this since, like, 15. He started ordering those, like, hormones off the Internet. At 15 years old, you do not need testosterone. That is insane. It was like the HGH growth.

Yeah, that stuff. And whatever, and the parents tried to stop him, they just realized they couldn't. And he just was barreling ahead. Now he's making all, yeah, now he's making all this money. and it's bizarre. It's a bizarre life. Hey, it's me, clavaker. What's his name?

Something like that. Clavaker, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, that's not his real name. I wish it was clavaker because that's a cool. That's a better name. Hey, it's me, clavaker. I'm just over here breaking my jaw. Hey, Chrissy, can I borrow your ball pin hammer?

Sure. Anybody got a ball held pin hammer? I can borrow. I'm just going to clink, clink. Click, click. I'll be in the hospital getting my jaw, iron chuck. What are you doing? Laser.

He probably has never had a girlfriend his entire life. It's like that Nick Fuentes guy, the guy who, you know. Oh, well, he's, yeah, I think he did some kind of. He's a virgin. Yeah, he did something with that guy on social. Oh, he did? Yeah. Yeah, that's what we need.

Those two hanging out to get. Oh, my God. We're fucked. I know. We are so fucked. Nick Florentes and fucking claver. her are hanging out together. Oh, God. They're both going to go on Rogan tomorrow and hang out. All right. We'll take a break. We'll be back at 2-2 and 2.

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. Well, lovely, 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, 3-3-3-3-3-3-2. TCB. That's 212-433-3822.

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 Astrid. Especially Astrid. I love it. I love my little AI tool.

We're all fucked, but I love my little AI tool. You always have that. You've been watching the Olympics? I have been watching some of the Olympics, yes. Oh, man, I'm all wrapped in this. There's some good stories, too. Some great stories. I'm all wrapped in the controversy around the...

Well, the curling? The curling. Yeah, what was that? Was that where the Canadian and the Norway were screaming at each other? I have to say screaming. They were like, for Canadians and Norwegians, they were insulting each other. They were using a pretty harsh word. Harsh language for, you know, nationally televised broadcast.

But, yeah. So, you know, curling is taken the world by story. I've been watching curling. You have. We were watching it during the last. Olympic. Yeah, and I was watching it. It's fascinating.

Yeah, I loved it. I got onto it about probably like, I don't know, whenever the 2020 Olympics was or 2022 or no. 28, I don't know, whenever it was. I was watching it a long time ago. But it was like before that, it was like when Julia and I were split up. So that would have been like 2010 or something. Way back then.

It was like that time. I think when the Olympics started to get split up into, remember they used to have them summer and winter together. Like it was the same year. Did they? Yeah. I can only remember them now split up. No, it wasn't too long ago either.

It was like, I don't know, five Olympics ago, 10 Olympics ago, something like that is when they split up. I don't know. Anyway, I was watching curling, and it was, they only had very limited coverage because they didn't have DVRs and all the other bullshit and multiple channels. They just had whatever. But I found it to be a fascinating sport. It is. And so the coverage isn't grown. A little sweeper. Yeah, a little sweeper. Now you can watch every moment of it. Yeah. And I love it. I think it's great. From every angle. And every angle. And my kids are into it. And listen, I don't think it's like the best sport ever. But I think it's an interesting sport. It's like chess on ice, right? They're playing. Shot Rock, all that other stuff. They're kind of like a botchy situation too. Yeah. And I love Bocciball. I think it's great. Me too.

I was in a league. Yeah, I was in a league too. At Ormsby's? Yeah, at Ormsby's. At Armsby's? I was there, too. I mean, I was in a league. I don't know if we were playing together.

But so watching curling and then the Brits and the Norways, the Norwegians, they get into a disagreement. And the Norwegian guy is accusing the captain or one of the captains of the British team of cheating. Canadian. Canadian. I'm sorry. Of cheating by pushing the rock after. the line. So there's a, you know, they slide, there's a green line, they have to release it before that green line and try and get it in the, in the bull's eye, whatever. And there's, that's the

simple way of explaining. You've seen. I know everyone's seen it. So apparently, the Canadian guy was sneakily taking his finger and giving it a little extra spin or a little extra touch after. Oh. And the Norwegians, I don't know if they set up a camera to record this or if it was recorded, but there is clear evidence that this was done. Clear evidence. Now, to me, the touch looks insignificant, but it is a touch, right? It's clearly happening. Sneakily.

Sneakly. He was going over there. Giving it a little ding. Yeah. He releases it and then he just gives it a little. Oh, a little tap. Yeah, a little tap tap. Okay.

Go on, little buddy. Yeah, go on little buddy. Spin that way, right? And so, okay, not allowed. And that is clearly in the rules. It's not allowed. They even had to remind the teams that it's not allowed after this big controversy blew up. But just the thought that there would be cheating and the curling at the Olympics is funny to me.

I mean, I find it funny and I find it interesting. I don't want to see anybody cheating. But the way that they were politely yelling at each other was just really fucking fun. Yeah, I saw the video of it. It's crazy. I know. Are we really? Is this what we're going to do?

This is where we're going with it. We're going to get all upset with each other. But, hey, it's the Olympics. You know, you're going for the gold. You're going for the glory. You've got to do it. straight up. You just got to be that dude. Like, don't. I know. I was watching one that was fascinating, and I can't remember the name of it, but it was like where they go, they ski and then they shoot the gun.

The triathlon, the biathlon or something. Yeah, and then they ski again and then they're doing, I mean, the lungs on these people, they were skiing uphill. Skiing uphill. I was like, what? Oh, my God. I would have been over passed out. I know. How do you do that? The pile of snow. Yeah. And then shooting and you're, you. get down on your chest and then you get it, then you do like the standing shooting too. Yes. It was fascinating. Wow.

These are some athletes. They're real athletes. And like in Italy, the woman who does that, I can't remember named Bruno something. Yes. I saw her. She has like a hundred and ninety five million social media followers. Yeah, yeah. She's beautiful.

She is a fashion superstar and then she does this too. She's like one of the best in the world at ski shooting. I guess. I know. Yeah, it's amazing. I mean, when do you need to ski shoot in like a Christopher Nolan movie? I mean, what do we do in ski shooting? But cool.

I was watching it too. You're going after like an animal or something. I don't know. I don't know either, but I was all wrapped up in it too. I was all wrapped up in these beautiful women out there shooting. Ding, ding, ding, ding. And the crowds are crazy. There's like every seat is full.

And apparently it's the most popular sport in like three of the countries in Europe. Yes, exactly. This is. You grow up doing that. Yeah, you'll grow up doing it. You grow up watching it. You grow up knowing who the superstars are, like the Michael Jordans and the, you know, I don't know, the Simone Biles of the Eastern Europe or whatever it is. It's insane.

I love it. I love the Olympics. I know it's a big corporatized bullshit, but I love it. But here's what few people know. But if you watch closely, you'll catch on to it. These are not necessarily all the best athletes in the world. They are the best athletes from each country. So, like, Venezuela had like a cross-country skier.

There's no skiing in Venezuela. But they entered somebody into the competition, and the poor guy is just falling his way through the corner. God bless him. God bless all the heart he had. Go out there and do it. It's like Astrid getting on Instagram. He just broke the seal and went out there and did it. The poor bastard had no idea what he was doing.

But he was out there. He was doing it. it and listen, he did it better than I could probably. He can say he was in the Olympics. And that's what it is. For a lot of these people, it's just about showing up, just about doing it, just about being there. And, you know, I love it.

I guess the men won the hockey. To me, the hockey is the least interesting thing that's going on in the Olympics. I'd much rather watch those other randoes sports. Like, Skelton. Yeah, Skelton. The guy's going down, the luge with their head first. That is the dumbest fucking thing about it. And I was talking to talk about it.

I was like, how do you, like, how do you grow up saying I want, that's what I want to do? You don't grow up saying. You would have to maybe like have a family member or somebody that did it before you because. Where do they have a luge run? Where in the world do you, I mean, it must be in like the upper peninsula of Wisconsin. Yeah. Or upstate New York, I think. Yeah.

Or, you know, we had way up there in Maine or New Hampshire. Somewhere where it's consistently cold during the winter and they, they, they, they, care for those things because I was watching a video. I was like, how do they even make these courses? Like, how do they get the ice up on that wall like that? And I watched a video about it. They literally take what they call slush, which is what you think it is, snow and water, and they take it by hand and they paste it up there like they're doing drywall. And they just, and then they spray a coat of water on it to keep it like icy and fresh, right? And they do this every day. They go into all the corners and they do it every day, which is insane to me,

the amount of work to just to have some people slide down there at 90 miles per hour. But these people are sliding down there at 90 miles per up. Oh, they're going so fast. And it's like by the tenths of a second that they're off from each other. That's it. And the people who are commentating, like the people who have done this before, they really know what the fuck they're talking about because it just looks like they're going fast down a hill to me. But they're like, oh!

He came in the corner to set him up for the third turn. He's going to make up that kind of time. And I'm like, he's going 90 miles per hour. That's right. How do you know that? You can't make it up? You can't make it up? He's going 90.

I know. It's like me on the highway. I know I can make it up. I'll figure it out. But then I was watching the men's like qualifying luge where they go down with their feet first. Yes. And there was an American. That's also scary.

I mean, you're laying. It's all scary. You can like barely see. You have to crash sometimes, right? I know, right. You have to. Okay. Two sports that I just cannot get, two tracks that I, with multiple events happen, where I just can't get it out, is the downhill slalom.

The one, the speed slalom. Oh, yeah. Where they are going 80 miles per hour. No, no, no, no. Okay. The ones where they're going, oh, the downhill XP is what they call it. Okay. Where they are going in and out of the gates.

We're doing great commentating on the Olympics. We have no fucking clue what we're talking about. That thing. You know. Someone on two skis, the things that Lindsay Vaughn does. Two skis, straight downhill, 70 degree angle, 100 miles per hour going in and out of the gates. There was one day when I was watching, like the women's qualifying, when of the 10 women that I watched, six of them crashed because the course was so fast and they were going, it was so unmanageable that they were. that they were going 80 miles per hour crashing,

like just flying downhill and then bones upon bones just flying all over the place. Yeah. It looked so scary to me that one of these people didn't die was a fucking miracle. And the second one is that goddamn luge.

The luge where you're going 90 miles per hour down this. And I watched the Americans. There was two Americans in there. The one would just seem like a happy-go-lucky guy he'd been in the Olympics a couple times. He was ready to go. He didn't do very well. But okay, whatever.

He was like an eighth place. The second one was a guy He was big He was a jolly ginger is what he was Just a big boy All sucked into that suit All the bits and pieces showing All the you know

Steaking potatoes everywhere And he's just going down And the commentator was like Now he's a bigger boy But that'll help him on the speed That's gonna help him When he crashes He's got some extra padding

to make sure he doesn't break every fucking bone in his body. These people are putting their lives on the line. To me, it seems like when you luge, you just go. The first part, you do. You run. You have to run. And then once you get on the luge. Yeah, you jump in.

You're just going for a ride. Like, what else are you doing? No. I don't know. I saw Seth, what's his name? The guy who does the weekend update. Colin Yost. Oh, right.

Yes. Colin Yost went on the bobsled, like the tandem bobsled. So the driver took him on a ride down. They were going 90 miles per hour. And Colin was like, I've never, ever been so scared in my entire life. And Colin was yelling like a girl the entire way down. He's like, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's so funny.

Fuck, yeah. I don't even know if I would be brave. I love that kind of shit. I love roller coasters. I don't know if I would be brave enough to do that. I really don't. I'd be like, I'm putting my life on the line here for, What? To go down some ice? Like, no. Anyway, I love the Olympics.

A slippery slope, my friends. It is a slippery slope. I think that's where the terminology comes from. All right. Well, listen, the Olympics, but it's almost over, and that sucks. You know, we got one more week of it, a couple more days of it, then it's all over. So pay attention. And then, of course, there is squad god. And squad god who just was absolutely miserable. I don't watch figure skating, but I watched the replay because I thought to myself, oh my god like it was such a big story squad god falls three times yeah no he choked poor thing he choked he really did but hey listen he's young exactly and he came out and said it the stress got to me it was running through my head the stress got to me it was too much i put too much pressure pressure

yeah yeah and you know also when you become like when you transcend the sport and everyone pulling on your time and you're doing all these deals and blah blah blah blah blah it's like the business of it just gets in the way being a creative like he is and an athlete like you like he is. Your mind needs to be focused on the task at hand. And when all the other crap comes in the middle, we know it becomes really sometimes stressful to get in and just do your job, right? Which is do the thing you know how to do. And that's, you know, and that's the that happens. It's the business of podcasting. We don't know what that is, actually. We have no idea. We're crazy. Okay. I do love the Olympics too, though, and I'm enjoying all of it.

I'm really excited to be... I've been really excited to watch it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Still no Nancy Guthrie. No. No, they're not going to find her.

I mean, they might find her, but they're not going to find her all. What happened? I don't know. I just... It's very perplexing. It's clear that someone without the, you know, super spy skills of James Bond took her. because he was trying to put like fig leaps in front of the nest camera

to turn it off. I mean, this was not a sophisticated criminal. But why did he take her and what did he do with her and why did he do that? I don't know. It's all very perplexing.

I don't know. They've had all these experts on too and they're like, we've never seen anything like this. I've never seen anything like it. I've been living on this earth for a long time. And we've seen a lot of kidnapping cases. John Bonnet and all this other stuff.

Jean Bonnet? you can kind of understand. Some fucking creep took her, right? Or something, you know, something. Or someone in the house did it. And they try to cover it up. Whatever. What's her name?

They got her back. I just watched that story. You know, there's the girls in Portugal. You know, I can't remember her name, but they were on vacation. And the girl got taken from... Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's all scary, but this one's weird.

Yeah, and it's very bizarre. It's weird. Some dude comes head to toe. dressed in black and puts a fig leaf in front of the nest camera and then takes a 70 plus year old woman. Yeah, I think she's in her 80s. 80s with her health issues. Yeah. And it's the mom of a famous newscaster.

For no reason. There's no reason that's really come out. No, and they don't even know if these, you know, the ransom notes are real. Yeah. And that's the worst part about it is there's somebody out there fucking with them probably. Yeah. So, fuck you. Anyways.
