And now the estrogen network presents Afternoon Yak. Man. On this episode of the commercial break. What was the message? The message, we don't know what the message was. Well, that could mean something. Correct. I still like your dick.

And then you like that. You like that, then that's no bueno. I like the silky smooth feeling of your penis inserted into my vagina. And then you like that. Yeah, and then the guy likes that, that's different. Then like, hey, good luck on the show. Right.

Hey, I heard you're on Love is Blind. I hope everything works out. Like, okay. That's different. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Yeah, boy! Yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host,

Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best of you, Kristen. Best of you, Brian. And best of you out there in the vodcast universe. How are you? We're back. I'll talk more about my parathyroid surgery tomorrow. Mañana, as they would say in Spain. Mañana. But if my voice is a little throaty, then just excuse me,

because I had a scalpel all in there digging around in my throat. But luckily, I still have a voice. We're glad to have you back with your voice. Yeah, I was wondering if I'd come back with like an octave higher or an octave lower. Do I sound any different? No.

I don't think I... I don't hear myself sounding any different. It's a little slightly raspy. It's a little raspy. That's all those cigarettes I was smoking after my parathyroid surgery. Can you imagine? Oh my God. You know, for some reason, I really wanted a cigarette after my surgery. Really? Because of your anxiousness?

Yeah, it was all that fentanyl that they were getting. God. They gave me 50 micrograms of fentanyl right afterwards. Like they don't give you, for a parathyroid surgery, the standard is don't give narcotic pain medication afterwards. And I understand why. First of all, you're down in Florida, which was like one big pill mill for like 26 years. And probably still is with all those old people down there. They probably hand out a lot of pain medication. But second of all, you know, you're inside behind someone's thyroid.

I don't think there's like a ton of nerve endings down there, so you get a sore throat. But they say that every half hour, you should feel like 10% better. And it's really true. It's not like a ton of pain. It just feels like a bad sore throat. Yeah.

So they say in the paperwork beforehand, we don't, as a rule rule give out pain medication after surgery. But I woke up and I was in some pain. And so she's like, okay, I'm gonna order 50 micrograms of fentanyl. And I thought, oh, here we go. And on the ride I went, woohoo. Now I understand, 50 micrograms, micrograms of fentanyl.

And I went on quite a ride. So anybody has had any enter of fentanyl, and I went on quite a ride. So anybody that has had any extra of fentanyl, let me know and I'll give you an address to send it to. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm kidding, send it to my PO box. Send it to my PO box. Hee hee. So Halloween right around the corner,

mañana as they would say, mañana. A little spooky. Yeah. So what are you gonna dress up as? I think I'm gonna be Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman? Yes. Will you wear underwear?

Yes. I'm just curious. As pants, which is on trend right now. Oh, you're gonna wear pants? Well, underwear as pants is the trend right now. Underwear as pants. If you did not know. Yes, I do have to say, I do know this.

I know that ass cheeks, ass streaks are all the rage right now. Everyone has asstreeks. When we were down in Tampa at the airport, there was many young lady with their asstreeks hanging out. And I thought to myself, I guess it's just kinda trendy to be cheeky right now. Yeah, maybe it's harking back to the old Daisy Duke era.

I guess. And all 90s stuff is like brand new again. But Asher and I were standing in front of like someone getting on an airplane and it was like a father and a mother and a daughter. And that daughter, I imagine she was heading to some kind of sports related activity to go down to Tampa. We were in Atlanta waiting on the airplane.

And the length of the shorts was, I mean, no shorts, zero shorts. It was like wearing a thong, basically. And Astrid and I were looking at each other and I thought to myself, my future is filled with stress, anxiety and dread. There may have been a time when I was like hot ass, but now I'm like, have my daughters ever decided

to walk out of the house like that? I'm gonna be so stressed out, so stressed out. So Wonder Woman, what's Jeff gonna dress as? Well, he has the standard mask that he wears every year. It's an old man mask and it's scary, it's rubbery. Oh, he's got like a go-to. Yeah, yeah. He puts it on and he scares the kids.

I'm so excited to scares the kids. Ah! I'm so excited to scare the kids this year. I've got this mental patient. It was just his birthday, wasn't it? It was. Does he need to wear the mask anymore? Yes, yes. He will never look like this.

Wait, you've got a mental patient? I do, I have a mental patient robot thing that is just sitting, waiting, waiting for the kids to come up to the door. Oh, you have one of those fucking things that when you walk up it scares the shit out of you? Yeah, it's motion activated, but I have not turned it on at all because I didn't want to scare the postman

and other delivery people that are delivering things. I've kept it off, it just sits there and it's kind of creepy just sitting there looking at you. But when I turn it on, it is motion detected and it has its arms tied behind its back and it tries to get out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and one of the houses, it just looks like a regular house and they have a few scattered decorations out front. Door closed, lights off, and it's kinda like twilight when we went, right?

Like that six o'clock hour. Yeah, it is, it is. Because I have little kids and so I don't take them when it's actually dark outside. But they had like this spider in the front yard and then they had like a ghost near the door and then a couple of pumpkins. It didn't look all that scary to me.

Right, until you get close. Until you get close. Until I got close. And when I got close, that fucking spider, which was like the size of a large dog, popped up out of the ground three and a half feet with its eyes all, ah! Chrissy, I literally shat myself. I was like, I shat a little in my pants.

I was so scared. It's the point. I know it's the point, but fuck you, fuck that. I know, I know. I don't like jump scares, I'm not into it. I probably won't turn it on until maybe a little later. Yeah, I would be angry at you. Yeah, right, because we do get the little kids first.

That's right. I'm excited to hand out candy though too, which, you know, it's expensive. Oh my God, everything's expensive. I know, but I- Everything's so fucking expensive. I was like, I wanna get some Halloween candyic and I spent like, you know, a hundred dollars.

A hundred dollars? It was close to it, yeah. Here's the fucking thing about having little, little kids is that, you know, I remember when I used to go trick or treating, this is basically what happened. My mom would dress me up like a hobo. Right? Every year for like 10 years in a row, I would be a hobo until I was a vampire hobo one year. She let me put like fake teeth and some blood coming a row, I would be a hobo. Until I was a vampire hobo one year, she let me put like fake teeth and some blood coming

down, but I was still a hobo. So I was like, you know, Dracula the hobo or something like that. I'm not even sure. But we would get home from school, the twilight hour would appear. Yeah, you'd get changed. I'd get changed. Head out, out. Head out, out.

No, parents, parents. What are you talking about? We just walk around the neighborhood knocking on the door with friends in the neighborhood. And I remember doing this as young as I can remember. So probably six, seven, eight years old. I mean, I'm sure there was a parent somewhere, but I just don't remember them. And then, you know, when I came here to Atlanta, 11, 12, 13 years old,

never once was there a parent involved in trick or treating. I went out by myself. Now, I don't have a house where, like, I see a lot of trick or treaters because I'm on a very busy road. But sometimes, occasionally, I'll see kids on their own, but there's always like an older brother or sister involved, it feels like. When I was a kid, there were no parents that went trigger treating with us. We just did it. That's just, we went out and hoped that we didn't get murdered. I mean, that was it. I hope that someone didn't take us

in their house and murder us. But now these kids are so pampered. They don't even go to houses now. Literally, we're going to 17 different events over the next three days. All of them are trunker treats. We pop open the back of the car and then you decorate it in some way, shape or form. And then the kids walk from car to car with their parents and we hand them out candy. It's not even a house anymore. It's just, you just go and they just give you free candy. Half the parents don't do candy anymore because candy is a big no-no. So, you know, you're allergic to something,

it's too much sugar, we have enough candy at home, so you get shitty little plastic toys or, you know, some kind of educational device that no one gives a shit about. These kids are so pampered, they don't understand what it is to really be scared that you might be kidnapped. That's what Halloween was always about for us. And now it lacks its luster. It's all gone, Chrissy. We take the shine off everything. Chrissy Larkin I know. I hear about the parties, the neighborhood parties, golf carts, bouncy houses, house parties.

Jared Svelter That's where we're going. We're going to somebody's neighborhood where the bouncy houses and the, you know, I guess we're just going to sit in a parking lot and go from table to table collecting candy. That's not trick or treating. There's no fun in that. You don't get an old lady to yell at you. You don't get that random house with absolutely no lights on that you have to make a decision whether or not you're going to knock on the door. You know what I'm saying? You don't get the creepy old guy like, you know, take a spin and let me see your outfit. Right. You don't get that.

Let me see your outfit. Let me see your outfit. Come closer to Uncle Todd. You don't get any of that because everything is so, I don't know, it's like padded. We all have those bowling alley lane balloons that blow up in our lives. And so, but I also- Not the ones who come to my house though. Oh no. I will be scaring.

You will be scaring them. Well, because you have the jump scare. I'm giving out tricks and treats. Are you giving just mainly candy or are you also giving toys away? No, just candy. Yeah, okay. See, you're the good house that I would go to.

And you're gonna get two. Yeah. You know- You get No, just candy. Yeah, okay. See, you're the good house that I would go to. And you're gonna get two. Yeah. You know. You get two pieces of candy. When I was a kid, I used to, for like three years, I went to my good friend Philip's house because he had a big neighborhood and, you know. And I was never into Halloween.

I think mainly because I was dressed up like a hobo for seven years and that was rather embarrassing. So I also, like Jeff, got a mask when I was like 11, 12 years old and I just wore that mask over and over again. I made zero effort to get dressed up. I would have jeans, a t-shirt and that stupid mask. I'd get a pillowcase and we'd walk around the neighborhood. In that neighborhood, there were a lot of houses

that were dark and now you know that that means I don't want any fucking kids. Yeah, for whatever reason. I have dogs, I have animals, I don't practice Halloween, I'm not home, whatever it is. But in that neighborhood, I will never forget there was one house, dark as it could be, no welcoming, no welcoming signs whatsoever. But if you made that brave walk up the, you know, leaf-covered driveway with the craggity old trees and the shitty house with spider webs, not fake spider webs, real spider webs everywhere, if you managed to ring that doorbell, you would get a full KitKat bar, Snickers bar, Butterfinger bar, whatever it was, because there was an old lady that lived there, and I don't

think she really practiced, like, I don't think she really wanted kids at her front door, but if you managed to make your way up there… She had a little something for you. I think she just had random candy bars in her drawers, and she would just give them to you. And every year, three years in a row, we would, you know, we would go to that house and we would get candy bars. Until the fourth year, like the last year that we went there, and we rang the doorbell and hoping the old lady would open the door, because now the house is like, now you know the house, that's the house you want to go to first. And same dark, you know, house, same unkempt driveway, same all

that other stuff. And we went up to the door and a younger lady opened up the door and she handed out pencils, number two pencils with Halloween theme, right? And she was like, here's some pencils for, I hope you study hard, do get good grades in school. And at that time I was like 14 years old and I was like, oh, I remember an older lady here, you know, and she's like, yeah, that's my mother.

She got too crazy spending too much money on the campy, so we got number two pencils. Fuck you and your number two pencils. That's what I gotta say. But now I'm checking out our booty that we're gonna be giving out at our million chunker treats and Astrid's got like number two and stickers and stuff like that. And I'm like, hun, why, I'm gonna get the kids candy and she's like, no one wants candy. Well, it does become a problem. It's a more, it's a, the kids love it, obviously.

Kids love it. Oh, but then it's the, it's the week after and maybe even more than a week after. Well, listen, I understand. Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy! We talked about this last year. I know, I know. You're one who is the really tall one. I am the same. Yes. Your youngest is the... The huge one? Yes. She was tall last year and was like climbing up on top of the refrigerator, the cabinets in the refrigerator to get to the candy. Yes, to get the candy.

And this year she's twice as tall. She's getting a breech. Yeah, I think she just breeches now. She's a year and a half, she's six foot two. I do have to say, and I will, you know, I'm just not like a total hypocrite now, but I will have to say that I will appreciate the fact that the kids didn't get all candy.

They have a Halloween parade upward near where I live. Oh, I love those parades. And they actually call it the Youth Day Parade. It's not the Halloween parade. I think it's Halloween might upset some people, so they just call it the Youth Day Parade. But it's thousands, I mean, I'm being, obviously I'm exaggerating, but it feels like

thousands of cars and floats, you know, little community floats, trailers with kids on the back. And every single car, every single float, every person that walks down has a bag full of candy and not the shitty, not tootsie rolls, nerds, butterfingers, sour gummies, and they just toss them at the side of the street. And there's thousands of children a mile up and down

this street that just grab this candy. And by the end of the youth day parade, you have bags and bags of candy. It's like an embarrassment of riches. I oftentimes feel bad. There are children in this world that don't eat, and my kids have 14 bags worth of Halloween candy before, two weeks before Halloween even comes. Oh, wow. Yeah. So, yeah, you've got enough candy. Yes. It is a joke in this community that oftentimes when you'll go to houses to do trick-or-treat, what you'll get is you'll get the candy from the youth day parade because you have so much of it.

That's a good way to recycle it, actually. And give it away. So, three years in a row, even though we don't get a lot of trick-or-treaters, I'll put candy out in that basket and I'll put it out in front of the house. We're always somewhere else. Didn't you show the ring camera last year too? Chrissy, every fucking year, the same shitty kid takes my fucking candy every year. But you know what? My faith in humanity is not totally gone. I'm going to do it again this year.

Maybe I'll bring you, maybe I'll bring the mental patient up here for you. Oh, I've got a mental patient. Her name is Blue. Right, that's true. We've got two mental patients, Brian and Blue. I swear to God. That's the other thing too, is that I'm glad that we leave and I'm glad we don't have a house where the doorbell rings a lot because that doll would go fucking bananas. And I do understand how some people really get very stressed

out about the fireworks and about people ringing their doorbell, because I also have a shitty little fucking dog that will do nothing but bark incessantly the entire time on Halloween. We put her in the back because quite frankly, I know it's stressful for her too. She's just trying to defend the house from creepy crawlies. And then she looks outside and she sees like, you know, discombobulated, dismembered head walking through the streets. It's, I like Halloween for like 30 minutes every year. That's, that's the extent of like, Oh, I love it. You know, I started buying stuff back in like, over the summer. Remember I bought those skeletons and pumpkins and everything? Yeah. Ever since I've known you, you've liked Halloween. And ever since I've known you,

I don't like Halloween. I don't go to the parties. Have we ever been to a Halloween party together? They used to have that big huge one at Piedmont Park, you know, that we were, I think the radio station was a part of when we worked there. Yes, we did that one year. But I don't know other than that that you and I have really, because I mean, Halloween parties in your like 20s are, they get crazy. Well, they used to be- There's alcohol and sexy outfits involved.

Oh my God. Did you come with me one time to that house party that's pretty notorious here in Atlanta? Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Okay, so we've been to two Halloween parties together. That is the house party. And it doesn't have... Scarraween or Skeleween. They don't have it anymore, but they used to have it literally in an old funeral home. This guy owned a house that used to be an old funeral home. Yeah, and it would drive a hearse around to promote it. Drive around town to promote it.

It was a house party where they would promote it by driving around a hearse. And it was the biggest, it was huge. Thousands of people would show up to this, various states of undress, many different illegal activities going on. And it was just awesome. I think eventually, I think, well, he got a little old and I think he said it. I think there was a divorce involved too. There was someone got the house and somebody could get to get the house. But I think a couple of years in a row, the police were like, he got a little old and I think he said that. I think there was a divorce involved too. There was, someone got the house and someone didn't get the house. But I think a couple

years in a row, the police were like, you got to go get that. Because I remember when you and I went, I think we had to park three miles down the street. And we were friends with a guy, we couldn't get premier parking. I think neighbors were charging for parking spots. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, there's pictures of us. I think that was Jeff and I, maybe his first Halloween with the group. Yeah, I think you might be right. Yeah, we were all at that party.

Wow, wow. Yeah, we got old. When did we get old? Now my Halloween party. He's getting old, I'm still having fun all the day. I'm looking forward to bouncy houses and trunker treats. This year it's a Halloween on a Thursday, treats. This year it's Halloween on a Thursday, which means next year it'll be on a Friday.

And that's where they, oh my gosh, speaking of the neighbors behind us had a huge Halloween party on Friday night. And Jeff and I were like the creepy old people. You guys were just like, oh yeah. We like actually walked out and sat on our porch and we're like, you know, watching, watching, listening. And then finally I was like,

I can't be the creepy people anymore. Let's go inside and watch. But the police got called at 6 a.m. the police arrived. We'd gone to bed, but all of a sudden, so, woo, woo, 6 a.m. I was like, Oh my God, they kept partying. Yeah. You were like, we used to do that. We used to do that. Yes. like, we used to do that. We used to do that. I don't envy someone, I don't envy it one bit. No. I gotta be honest. Been there, done that. I enjoy my sleep. Yeah. Now when I stay up till 6 a.m. it's because of my acute thyroidism.

Or the babies and dogs. Or the babies are waking me up. Now I get up at 6 a.m. I don't go to sleep at 6 a.m. anymore. All right. We got lots more to talk about. Let's take a break and we'll be back.

we've covered one story per season. We tried to figure out who killed Margaret Coon. She told me I'm gonna kill you. I said, well, do it bitch. Go ahead and do it. We delved into the violent world of the Dixie Mafia. I'm an outlaw and I was a thief, but I'm far from being the psychotic nutcase that I've been made out to be.

And we tracked a serial killer in Laredo, Texas. Just turn around, please. Turn around. Now, Gone South is back for a fourth season, but this time we're doing things a little differently. So, in Gone South Season 4, we'll be bringing you new stories every week with no end in sight. I'm Jed Lapinski. Welcome back to Gone South, an Odyssey Original podcast.

What is happening? What the fuck are you doing? We just got a notification that there was a gunman barricaded at the Four Seasons. Barricading themselves at the Four Seasons.

What problems do you have? If you can afford the Four Seasons, what issues do you have that bad that you've got to barricade yourself in with a gun? I mean, I hope everybody's okay. Yeah, yeah, of course. I really do. Yeah. Well, I guess he's missing the Halloween party. What band is playing in town? Oh yeah, that's true. They all stay at the Four Seasons.

I don't know. I think it's P. Diddy. Oh my God, that P. Diddy, man. Wow. It's coming. Curiouser and curiouser. Left, right, left, right. Yeah. I mean, every day it's another story. And yesterday it was a 10-year-old that was accusing him.

I gotta tell you that. A 10-year-old that was accusing him. That P Diddy, man. Wow. Curiouser and curiouser. Left, right, left, right, yeah. I mean, every day it's another story. And yesterday it was a 10 year old that was accusing him. A 10 year old. I mean, that is a certain kind of sickness. That is really a certain kind of sickness. If true, of course, you know, innocent until proven guilty, but man, wow.

P fucking Diddy. I mean, I knew the guy was wild. Of course, we all did. Everyone knew it. You just, all you had to do was pay any attention whatsoever. And the guy came from the streets and he was part of that era of rap that was like the golden- But I didn't know about the whole underbelly here.

No, I mean, listen, I had heard stories on certain shows like Stern when certain people would come in and Stern would poke them about P. Diddy parties, like, tell me about them, tell me about how rowdy they got. It leads me now to believe that Stern may have heard things all along and he was trying to get somebody to say something on air. Now I could be reading way too much into that, but some people did say things now, looking back in hindsight, if you go back and listen to some of these clips that are running around the internet, some people did say things that make you believe that things really were a little bit too wild, even for some

crazy celebrities. They were just like, yeah, I left the party early. I couldn't be into all that kind of stuff. But some of the accusations that are coming out now, if true, if true, are absolutely fucking sick. Sick. It's just like, that's all there is to it. Sick. And wow. What happened to the nineties when who hot, who not met something else altogether different? You know, I love doing that, who hot, who hot, who not. Now it's, nah, nah, nah, nah. Ah, I'm not, I'm not Kill Tony. I'm not looking to get canceled. By the way, speaking of Kill Tony, tomorrow we will have on our good friend, Doug Bass from I'm a Basshole, from Basshole the podcast and the live show. And he'll talk a little bit more about the, we'll talk with him.

He's kind of a comedy insider. He is. He works at the Imbrav. He's in the LA store, you know, the comedy store. He's like a comics, comics, so to speak. He works there. So he knows about all these, he hears the rumblings. And I'm

interested to get his take on the MSG Kill Tony appearance that everybody has heard about. And wow, I don't know if I can get into the politics of it, but I just got to say, that is an interesting gig to accept. Do you know what I'm saying? Like opening for Trump. I don't know. You have to be 100% in on that, on your career, if you really say, okay, I'm going to go open up for Trump or Harris or anybody. I mean, you really have to, yeah, fire the agents. Fire the agent. Speaking of Hollywood, I just finished, as I was getting my parathyroid surgery, I watched the last episode, the night of the parathyroid surgery after I got the surgery, I watched the last episode of Shogun.

Oh! And... You want more, don't you? I do want more, because I feel like I didn't really get the satisfaction, satisfactory conclusion that I was looking for. I was hoping this would all culminate and we would see some kind of battle, action. I don't want to give it all away in case you haven't watched Shogun, but what a beautifully crafted show. And you're right, I watched the first episode and I thought to myself, a little slow period piece, I don't know if I'm into it. But halfway through the second episode,

I was fully invested and I loved it and I loved how beautifully they, how beautifully and how carefully they showed the Japanese culture, the, it's just such a nuanced television show, I guess is the best way to put it. And it takes the time to be nuanced. And you get to know the characters and you really get inside of their heads and their lives and I loved every minute of it but the last episode was just like it felt like a little bit of a let down to me and I get it I get the conclusion I understood what happened not that I don't get it I get it but maybe I'm just not smart enough to understand I don't know but I just wanted something a little bit more I guess I. I wish the last shot, I wish the last 30 minutes of the show were just something a little bit different.

Well, there's gonna be a season two, I'm sure. No, there's not. That was it. That's it. See you later, Shogun, one limited series. One and done. And that's it. Yeah, and you know, I think it took like 10 years to make that Shogun is what I read.

It took 10 years to write, produce, direct, get it done. They spent a ton of money on it because it's so beautifully crafted. I know there's a lot of CGI in it, but you wouldn't know. I think you really have to pay attention. It was just so well done that I read that, first of all, there's no season two coming. There's not a season two available. But second of all, it took so long to bring it to screen. I think I do remember reading about that. Yeah. And that is disappointing because I would love to see season two. Cause it changed hands or something, right? Yeah, one person started it, FX, and then Disney bought it and all this other stuff. So I'm talking to my father about this. I'm like, dad, you got to watch Shogun because my dad used to work a lot in Japan and he

would travel a lot to Japan. He became fascinated by the culture. Then I became fascinated by the culture through him. And so I said, Dad, you got to watch the Shogun. And he said, I read the book many years ago. And I said, oh, there's a book. And he goes, oh yeah, it's like a big book. And it was a huge thing back in the day, Shogun. And so, you know, I won't read the book because I don't, you know. Well, you read the subtitles. I did. Oh man. That's the other point that I wanted to make. I got so invested in every subtitle. You know how many times I press rewind on that son of a bitch? I'd be like taking a

shower and watching it and I'd be washing my hair and I got to rewind 30 seconds to go get the, because I didn't want to miss anything. And, you know, and I don't know, I wish there was more to Shoga. That's all I got to say. There might be something. It was such a big hit. I mean, it won a lot of awards and people... I think it won all the awards, didn't it? People loved it. When did you watch it? I watched it, I want to say back over the summer. Okay.

So. Okay. Were you in love with it? Did Jeff watch it? Jeff and I watched it together. Well, because I waited to watch it because it was coming out on Hulu. And I kept hearing about it, hearing about it, hearing about it, but Jeff was traveling and I didn't want to watch it without him. I thought it was something we'd both like. So I waited and then we waited to the point of building it up until it was almost over. So then we could really binge it out and watch it, and we loved it. And it takes so much time because you got to read it.

Yeah. You know, but it's 2024, and I would venture to guess, and I don't know when this happened, it feel like maybe like five years ago, seven years ago, all of the sudden, everybody watches television with the captions on, we all do it. And there was this reel that I saw the other day, which was, this is what I saw the other day, which was,

this is what I hear when the closed captions are off or when I turn my head away from the closed captions. And it was just like this muffled sound, like two people talking muffled, like without the closed captions on, it's all of a sudden it's weird to watch a television show without the closed captions. I go back and forth. Sometimes it's too distracting because I'm like, wait a minute, I can actually hear these people fine. But a lot of shows now have accents or in another language, or you just want to be sure you catch everything they're saying. There's this mumbling going on or something. Well, yes. Here's what I wanted to point out. I don't know who the fucking sound editors are on some of these television shows. But man, are they, it feels

to me that they are getting it wrong. Now don't call into me and say that I have the settings on my fucking sound bar incorrectly, because I work with sound for a living. If you don't think I know how to work sound, you're correct, I don't. But I've checked all the sound settings and I know that it's right. I will tell you that Astrid and I are watching the new season of Love is Blind. Okay? Oh, you're back. We're back watching the new season of Love is Blind. Oh. You're back. We're back.

We're back. And I'm not sure, this might be the last one. I'm not sure. I thought about it, but I haven't done it yet. I am not as fascinated by this Love is Blind as I have been by past seasons. But anyway, besides that, it feels to me like the sound is all over the place. At times you can hear exactly what they're saying, at times they are whispering or it's muddled. Does anybody have a volume button? Is anybody editing this with a volume button?

It's true. Yeah, Jeff and I have to do the volume up or down. Yes. And then every time a song comes on that show, I have to turn it way down. Yes. What the fuck guys? First of all, second of all, let's talk about lighting. Okay? Now, I realize that this was a big deal, the Game of Thrones, the Pent-ultimate episode of Game of Thrones, the second to last episode. Everyone complained about how dark that episode was, how dark it was. You couldn't actually see what was going on because it was filmed with such dim lighting that no one could really understand what was going on. It was filmed with such dim lighting that no one could really understand what was going on. It was a big deal. I remember reading about it all over the place. I feel the

same way about a lot of television shows now with the sound and with the lighting. You have to make it bright enough so that people can see what the fuck is going on. And you have to make it loud enough so that we can understand what people are saying. Please. I am begging all sound editors to ride that volume, ride that volume, ride that amplification. Because I can't understand a fucking word that's being said half the episode and then the other half of the episode, you're waking the entire house up with your fucking bebop music or someone screaming when they don't need to be screaming. It's ridiculous.

It really is. I know that I'm not the only one that's complaining about this. I need to be screaming. It's ridiculous. It really is. I know that I'm not the only one that's complaining about this. I can't be the only one. No. I asked Astrid. I said, is it just my ears? Am I getting old? Is it too many years wearing inner ears or what's going on? And she said, no, you're absolutely right. That fucking music comes in and it's like- It does. It's like I'm watching Interstellar in IMAX.

It's unbelievable. It's crazy. It's so fucking loud. Well, and Shogun had a little bit of that too. Like there would be some very loud parts. I know our daughter was home for the summer and was upstairs above us listening to it. She was like, whoa.

Yeah. What are you guys watching down there? I know. We're like, it's not that loud. Here's what I think. This is my guess, is that most watching now is done on small screens, not most, but a lot of watching. That's true, like on your phone or iPad.

So the editors have a choice to make. Do we make it sound good on the phone or the screen or the iPad or the computer, or do we make it sound good on the phone or the screen or the iPad or the computer, or do we make it sound good on a regular television? And there's some kind of editing magic that is unable to be done to make those two things work together. I can see that. Because when I watch Shogun on my phone or with my earpods in, no problems whatsoever. When I put it on the TV, all of a sudden I'm writing that

volume again. I literally have to have the remote control in my hands for Love is Blind. It's insane. It's insane. It's so much work. Not only do I have to read the subtitles and pay attention to what's actually going on on the screen, but then I have to turn up and down the volume based on whether or not there's music in the background. It's crazy. It's crazy. Crazy. Now, let's talk about Love is Blind for one second. You haven't watched it, have you? I have not watched this season. I've watched, in fact, I think I really only watched one season, maybe two. How many have there been a lot? Oh, I think this is like season number seven or something. Yeah, this is season number

seven, I believe. So season number seven and they're back. I don't think it's quite the cultural zeitgeist it once was because I'm not reading a lot about it out there. So, season number seven and they're back, I don't think it's quite the cultural zeitgeist it once was because I'm not reading a lot about it out there, so I don't think that everyone is like super excited about this particular season. And I agree with that sentiment. It's not as exciting as some in the past. And now, like I was sharing with Astrid, yes, it's an interesting experiment to bring people together and see if they fall in love without knowing what each other looks like, just based on conversation alone. Well, and also, isn't it based with the psychiatrists that are there too, to try and help actually match people?

Is that the one? No, that is- Love at first sight. Love at fight, love, married at first sight. Married at first sight. Okay, I'm getting a little confused. Which is a whole different shit show that I can talk about. Married at first sight is on Lifetime, Love is Blind is on Netflix,

that's the one Nick Lachey and- Love is Blind, okay, right. Love is Blind. They put each other in pods. In the pods. Yes, okay. Oh, God, yeah. All right, season number seven. At season number seven, it is almost exclusively understood

that anyone who has decided to go on Love is Blind also wants to be famous. That's why I haven't watched it, yeah. There is no way under the sun, you don't understand walking in the door, that it's likely if you get chosen or if you find your match and if you get to take the full ride, meaning you fall in love with somebody, quote unquote,

you get engaged, you go on the honeymoon, the cameras follow you around for four weeks afterwards, that you are gonna be some level of more famous than you are walking in the door. That's it. Definitely. There are ulterior motives from the beginning and there's no one that's going to convince me otherwise. Because if you are just looking for love and you have no ulterior motives, going on a television show is not the right way to approach it. Right? So everyone has ulterior motives. Everyone wants to be an influencer, a famous, they

want their day in the sunlight. Or to even parlay to other shows, because that's what's happening with quite a few of them, right? I think Astrid pointed out that almost every Love is Blind star, someone who has taken the full ride so far, has hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Instagram followers. A lot of them make money off of their Instagram, or they have podcasts, or they're influencers of some nature, their lives change, and they fundamentally change,

and I don't know about forever, but at least for the moment, right? And you're right, maybe they parlay that into some other kind of fame. So, when you watch this television show, it's really hard for me to take any kind of altruistic view on anything that's going on. And it starts to affect the way that people talk about it. At season number seven, every person who walks into the pods has seen the other six seasons. They know what happens.

They know what goes down. So let me share with you an example of this. Two people in the pods and they're talking and the guy says, listen, at some point if we get engaged and we go on a honeymoon and the cameras follow us around, there are going to be people that come out of the woodwork and want to talk shit. That's just what's going to happen. The guy was prepping the girl for ex-girlfriends to come out of the woodwork and talk shit about it. He had to preface his love life with, by the way, I have a bunch of people that don't like me and they're going

to start talking about it, should it come out. In the real world, you would never, he would never have said that to anybody, never. You don't walk into the first date and say, by the way, a bunch of people dislike me and they're going to start talking about me. It's the, the, the experiment as Nick Lachey so egregiously calls it, incorrectly calls it, is not an experiment at all. If it's an experiment in anything, it's an experiment on how to, about to be famous people, navigate a fictitious relationship. That's it. I think that everybody knows the game. And so Love Love is Blind to Me is now just, really just an entertainment show where people who are about to be famous try and navigate the

first four weeks of fame. That's it. That's all they're doing. They're just trying to navigate the first four weeks of fame. It's so disingenuous. Yeah, because there's a couple of ones from the first season, right, the very first season. They're still married, right? Yes. There are some that are still married. I think last season, if I'm not mistaken, last season, they only had two couples that ended up going on a honeymoon, only two couples. And then the real action happened at that reunion show where a bunch, you know, where one of the idiots that had said something or done something, he was on the show, but he had a girlfriend at the time.

And, you know, that just goes to show that, you know, it's just, I don't know. This season is not as interesting as other seasons are. But I would like to ask you a couple of questions that have come up during the relationships for these people. I think they present interesting, I don't know about conundrums,

but they present interesting challenges to the relationship. And I'd like to know your opinion. Ask TCB ourselves. Ask TCB, but they present interesting challenges to the relationship. And I'd like to know your opinion. Ask TCB ourselves. Ask TCB, love is blind, we're asking ourselves. We're asking ourselves, what would we do in these situations? So let's take a break and we'll come back with love is blind, ask TCB ourselves questions. Sounds good.

Brian, minus a pair of thyroid, tries to get through the last segment of this episode. We'll be back. My darlings, my angels, my sweet little cherubs, it's that time again where I try to convince you to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. We really don't post that much, so it's no skin off your nose. If you'd like to get in touch with us directly, you can text us or call us and leave us a voicemail at 212-433-3TCB. You know we are just sitting by the phone waiting with bated breath for you to call,

so please leave us an Ask TCB and we'll give you some mildly concerning advice. Peace and blessings. All right, let's throw a couple of curveballs at you, see what you would do. Peace and blessings. I really appreciate that. A couple, perfectly lovely, actually one of the couples where I might actually believe there's genuine interest there, halfway through one of the episodes we were watching last night, all of a sudden they're in some kind of drama. Like the cameras just cut to them and there's some kind of dramatic conversation. In the pods? No, this is outside the pods. They're out of the pods. Okay. We're already on episode like number 10, so they're already living with each other and meeting the parents and all that other stuff. And the woman in the relationship is very upset at the man because he hasn't been

truthful with her about something. In a couple minutes into the conversation, what you learn is that he has children, not one, not two, three children. He has three children, they've been together for two or three weeks, he hasn't said a word to her. They're engaged. They're engaged. They're engaged. But now, here's the twist. Here's the curveball. The children are surrogate children. They are not children he cares for. A gay couple that he knew, he donated sperm so they could have children. So, now, they are his children technically. Physically, they're his children, as far as DNA is concerned.

But he has no interaction with them. He doesn't care for them. He's not involved in their lives. Not that he doesn't care for them. Not that he doesn't care for them. Yeah, he doesn't care for them, meaning. I don't care for those kids. I don't care for Blue, but I care for Blue.

I feed her every morning. You know what I'm saying? Right. Is he involved in their life at all? According to him, no. So far and up until we've gotten, he says no. Okay. And he doesn't even think they know

that any of the children know that he's the father, doesn't even know what he looks like, quote unquote, according to him. So sounds like this relationship, these friends that he has are now at a distance and he doesn't know them. But we haven't gotten into every detail. So he didn't know the friends, like they were friends.

They were friends. And he donated his sperm. He donated his sperm't gotten into every detail. So he didn't know the friends, like they were friends. They were friends. And he donated his sperm. He donated his sperm so they could have children. And then walked away, but did he walk away from being friends? I guess so, because he says that the children don't even know what he looks like. I don't know all the details,

but let's just say you're in a relationship with someone, you're engaged, and then they pop it on you that they have three surrogate children. They have three children that are not involved in their lives, but they are, you know, DNA-wise, your children. She is blowing a gasket over this. Not blowing a gasket. She is very upset by this. Let's put it this way. I actually think she handled it okay. But to me, I was kind of like, oh, okay, all right. Well, you know, you guys haven't known each other that long. Even though you're fucking engaged, you've only known each other for two and a half weeks,

three weeks. He's bringing this information to you. You know, yeah, he did, he did a good deed for one of his friends who wanted children. What do you think? Well, I mean, there's three, there's three, there's three, and they were friends. And they were friends. And yeah, no, I would want to know that like kind of right up front. You think so? Like right in the pods? Yeah, because then if you progress on to actually getting married, then, you know, eventually

down the road, these kids might come looking for their DNA dad. I have to imagine there's a good chance they would. And you kind of want to know that in advance and be prepared for that. And that's part of the package. That would be part of his package to me. I don't disagree with you. Part of who he is.

And now that there's been something withheld, well, then what else has been withheld? You start questioning. So it kind of unravels the trust a little bit. And the trust is already shaky in the beginning. Okay, so I don't disagree with you, right? I don't think it's a bad thing what he did. I think it's a noble thing what he did. I agree. And I think he should be proud of it and say that. He seems to stand by his decision. He said, I'm not apologizing for what happened, but I hope, you know, I hope you can understand.

Through two and a half weeks into the relationship, now let's put aside the fact that he's already engaged, right? That's a big part. But it's kind of a weird way to go about getting engaged. You're on the television show. If he had said this in the pods, it probably would have precluded him from any further advancement, I would imagine, with most women. Do you think? I don't know. See, I don't know. Because I mean, it's, you know, I think if you even just know that the person has children, that wouldn't preclude me, obviously. I'm a stepmother. And I knew that right off the bat. Jeff had two children, two young children. And it was part of him, part of the package. I think that they, here's my, and I haven't seen the conclusion to this, but my opinion

is she gets over it. Like they find a way to work on this because otherwise he seems like a relatively good dude. He seems like a, at least with a show on camera, they seem like they're trying to communicate with each other openly and honestly. I can understand it not being something you lead with. I think it's part of who you are, and you must tell somebody that. But time-wise, put aside the engagement and the strangeness of what's going on. Time-wise, two and a half weeks is really at the extraordinary beginning of a relationship. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, it's not that deep into a relationship, two and a half weeks. I think that's normally when you would bring something like this up.

Hey, by the way, I wanted to share something with you. I've donated my sperm and I have 16 children. Now here's an interesting question that Astrid brought up. How did he donate the sperm is probably more important than whether or not he did donate the sperm. Well, that could be true too. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, he just says that they're a gay couple. He doesn't say whether they're male

or female, but that's what he says. It's such a twist that I like, it's a twist I haven't seen before, right? And I was like, oh, she was really upset by this in the moment, but then she kind of cools down and she's trying to take it in stride. And, you know, he's being as honest, it seems like, as he can, he's like, hey, listen, I did this, and you know, three kids. Although, you know, yeah, you're right about that. Maybe a couple years later, then all of a sudden you've got three kids knocking at your door

and saying, I want to live with you, daddy. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, another scenario that popped up, and I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this. Couple gets engaged. They otherwise seem like solid, they seem like solid human beings. I don't know if they're a solid couple, right? I think, again, we have to understand that this is all under the lights and camera action of Love is Blind. But they're trying to communicate with each other

and give each other space and, you know, be honest with each other and give each other space and, you know, be honest with each other and tell each other how he's feeling, even if it's uncomfortable. So, in other words, they're having uncomfortable conversations. Yeah, well, they are. They're just getting to know each other in person. Yeah, correct. In person. Yeah, you've only known each other for two weeks in person. Including uncomfortable conversations like, I don't know that my mom is coming to the wedding because I don't know that she agrees with us, right? Just letting you know. She's been, we've been talking to each other via email. There's been some of

those. A lot of those. Throughout the seasons. Okay. They're about to go to a party where all of the other cast members are going to show up, right? One of those, what I call shit-stirring parties. Yeah, cocktails, booze, and all the feelings from the pod. Yes, all the other people you dated in the pod. That's right. The person that you didn't pick looks hot. Correct.

And is really cool. Okay, so cut to the cameras, this couple walking into this party, they're like on the street walking into the party, but they're having a heated conversation, in which he is apologizing to the woman for having liked a message from his old girlfriend on social media. And she says, well, why did you like the message? Why did you not even respond? And he said, well, I just liked the message because I didn't know what else to do, right? I didn't want to be impolite, I just liked the message? Why did you not even respond? And he said, well, I just liked the message because I didn't know what else to do, right? I didn't want to be impolite. I just liked the message and that was it.

That's what I did. I'm sorry, I liked the message. This is all new for us. I didn't know what to say to her, yada, yada, yada. And so the woman is uncomfortable with this situation, but she agrees that I'll get over it. I'm just learning about it. Well, what was the message?

The message, we don't know what the message was because we don't read it. Well, that could mean get over it. I'm just learning about it. Well, what was the message? The message, we don't know what the message was because we don't read it. Well, that could mean something. Correct. I still like your dick and then you like that. You like that, then that's no bueno. I like the silky smooth feeling of your penis inserted into my vagina.

And then you like that. Yeah, and then the guy likes that, that's different. Then like, hey, good luck on the show. Right, hey, I heard you're on Love is Blind. I hope everything works out. Like, okay. That's different. Call me if you, if things don't work out, call me.

Like. Okay. But now wait, there's more to it. Okay. So we're out on the street. The woman agrees. I've been cheated on before. I'm giving you all of my trust right now, I'm just learning about this, it makes me very uncomfortable and I'm a little bit upset, but let's go to the party, I'll get over it. Like, you know, just don't do

anything like that again, don't be a dumb dumb. He says, okay, blah, blah, blah. Let's fast forward to like five minutes later in the show and they are sitting with another couple at this party and they're having a conversation about this situation with the other couple and the guy is having the other the same situation. No, no, no, they're just talking about it, right? So the couple that's going to get some feedback from the other couple. I think they're just trying to like, you know, air dirty laundry. Yeah, start the shit. Exactly. So the guy says, yeah, you know, an ex-girlfriend of mine contacted me on social media and I liked the message and then I responded with, and the woman goes, you responded with what?

You didn't say you responded with anything. And he goes, no, no, no, I didn't, we didn't really get into the details, but I did respond. And she's like, that's not what you said just, you know, an hour ago. And he goes, oh, no, no, no, I did respond. I said, you know, hey, good to talk to you. You know, I'm on a show. I fell in love. I'll talk to you later. And she's like, where's the phone? Show me the phone. Yes, show me the message. It's over in the corner. I'll have to get it for you later. Right? He's obviously dancing

around this situation. And the girl, the woman, she gets very upset by this. She kind of like falls apart. She's like, this is crazy. You told me one thing an hour ago. Now you're telling me something else. Totally. That's not what you said when we were outside. What you said was, I liked the message. You didn't say you responded in any way, shape or form. These are two totally different things. And the guy is tap dancing. He's like, you know, oh, I didn't, we didn't get into the details. I was gonna share that with you later. I didn't know that that was a big deal. It felt like the same thing to respond to like.

Your opinion is responding to a message and liking a message the same thing. What say you Chrissy Hogan? Well, I think the like is a response. So there was the first response. Now you're telling me there's a second response that involves words, not a thumbs up emoji. Yes, I agree with this 100%. And you're not revealing it all at once. You know, it's now coming out in different pieces. And again, what is the message? What was the

message? The message makes a difference. I agree with you. What is the message? Yeah, can I come over and suck your cock? Yes. It's different than, hey, hope things are well, right? Correct, very different. Okay, now he says that he responded with, hey, good to hear from you. I want you to know I went on love is blind,

I fell in love and now I'm engaged. Now, he never actually pulls out his phone to show that response, and she doesn't really press him on, at least not in this episode. But I, 1000% agree with the woman in this situation. There is a difference between thumbs up-ing something and then having a whole conversation with somebody or at least responding to someone with words. Yeah, even if it's, even if it is him saying, hey, I'm on this show and I fell in love, all that feels like you want some level of engagement. It seems like it's still kind

of fresh maybe that you care what she thinks. Absolutely. You are, you are playing for a backup plan, in my opinion, when you respond with words. You could have just said nothing, just say nothing. Everyone's going to find out you're on Love is Blind. It's going to happen, right? Everyone's going to know eventually that you're on Love is Blind. Right. And then the girl could say, well, that's why he didn't respond to me. Good for him. You play for the backup plan when you need the backup plan.

That's when you do it. If you're going to be fully invested in this process, this experiment, quote unquote, experiment, if you're going to be fully invested in it, then you just be fully invested in it. And then don't respond. That's all you have to do. That's where love is blind. That's where the rubber meets the road as far as I'm concerned. When you get back into real life after the honeymoon and you get your phones back. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's the difficult part. Because now you're being thrown into somebody else's lives

with all their bullshit and all their baggage and all their ex-girlfriends and all their bills and all that other stuff. It's crazy. That to me is the most interesting episode of it all is when they get done with the honeymoon. That's true. But if Love is Blind doesn't get more interesting, I'm done with you. I'm not watching season number eight. You're breaking up. Well, I'll probably watch season number eight. You probably will. I should change this microphone. It's been doing that for seven years. Longer than we've had the podcast. For as long as we've had the podcast, my microphone's been messing up.

Hey, thanks so much to everybody who wrote in with the well wishes about my surgery. I am back. We'll talk more about that tomorrow. I still want to hear more too about the Spain. We didn't get into the wedding. Oh, I know. I have a whole thing to do about the wedding. But I had to ease myself back in today because I'm still feeling very weird

after my parathyroid. My hormones are all over the place and now I know what it feels like. It's okay. I know, thank you. It's okay, Brian. Thank you, Chrissy. Can't give me your hand.

Yes. What do you do when your hormones are all over the place? Oh. Let me be killed. Jeff's saved a little bit of way. Yeah. I don't have that luxury, Jeff. Where's the my doll when you need it?

All right. We're just glad you're back. I'm back, I'm good. And everything's on the mend. Yeah, I got a sore throat and a spacey head, but besides that, that's why I figured let's talk about love is blind. Let me talk about something easy

before I have to remember what I was doing in Spain. That's hard to believe I was just in Spain. I know. And then I got surgery and now I'm back. That's crazy. Yeah. Man, life moves fast. We're done with MIMFO.

We're done with Spain. I was spying on the surgery. Done with surgery. So fast. We're done with MIMFO. We're done with Spain. We're done with Spain and the surgery. Done with surgery. So now. We have nothing to look forward to. Here's where we kick it into high gear for the holiday. Yes, that's right. And we're gonna be doing 12 Days of TCB,

leading up to Christmas Day. Whether or not you celebrate, I don't give a shit. We're just doing 12 Days of TCB. Don't bust my balls. And some of you have written in about which charity you would like us to focus on during the 12 days of TCB. We're going to try and do some good because if we can't make any money, someone might as well.

And it's going to be a charity of your choosing. We're going to pick one from you. So let us know which charities you support and the reasons why at 212-212-4333-TCB, 212-433-233-212-2333822.
