How about a swim in the above-ground pool, take a bath in our eco-friendly outdoor repurposed
beer cooler, or visit Donna's day spa and salon for a happy ending you, nor your doctor,

But get some rest, because the party starts early and you will not want to miss being

On this episode of the Commercial Break. We'll give you a hundred dollars, get a motel room,
fuck each other, and come back and tell us all about it.
Go dancing.
But only in innuendos.
A rip here and a tear there, and clothes were everywhere has got to be melting
What that means is we're having a pretty good time we left the bar and we pretty much did the streets of San Diego
You did the streets of San Diego. I'm not even, is that lingo that I'm not understanding?
I did the streets of San Diego.
Your date with Miltie end up, Tracy?
After you're driving around the city streets...
Around the corner, he jizzed on the wall of the bar.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Aw yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.
I'm Brian Green.
This is my dear friend and the cohost of this show,
Chris and Joy Hoadley.
Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe.
I'm terribly sad today because I just learned
that Val Kilmer died.
I know, I saw that this morning.
Val Kilmer.
Ah, what a classic.
If you're younger than 30 years old,
you probably don't even know who Val Kimmer is unless you're a movie buff
And then you will know Vel Kimmer because he was in some of the most wonderful movies ever made quite frankly
I mean, it's a few of them, right? So he was in Top Gun
Tombstone tombstone
Batman he played that's right. He was a Batman one a one-hit wonder Batman, but I think he played a good bad
I like Vel Kilmer as Batman.
True romance.
True romance, that's correct.
He was in, was he in Weird Science?
Not Weird Science, he was in one of those teenage movies.
He like made his debut in one of those 80s teenage movies.
But for me, like when people say that,
what's that movie that won all the awards
about the trans woman? Oh, I
can't it's so forgettable at this point it's so forgettable the musical with the
trans you know drug dealer or whatever. Yes Selena Gomez was in it and yeah.
Everybody said or some people said that movie changed my life and we were all
like really that movie changed your life? we were all like really that movie changed
your life oh no nevermind it was an aura an aura they were like that movie
changed my life it's like really it was a life-changing movie the doors doors for
me was a life-changing movie he did such a fantastic job as Jim Morrison I
actually have a hard time distinguishing between the real Jim Morrison and Val Kilmer's version.
Because he embodied Jim Morrison so incredibly, accurately, and ethereally. Like, I don't know,
it was like Jim Morrison came down and just took over Val Kilmer. He looked like him, he danced
like him, he sang like him, he acted like him. And even though there's like, you know, not a ton of offstage footage of Jim Morrison,
like documentary footage of Jim Morrison,
if you watch any real footage of the real Jim Morrison
and then you watch the doors,
you cannot tell the difference.
It is really hard to do that.
And that movie is so incredible.
And I know that it's Oliver Stone
and Oliver takes a lot of creative liberties. But still it's a fantastic movie. I know that it's Oliver Stone, and Oliver takes a lot of creative liberties.
But still it's a fantastic movie.
I mean, it's great.
But as a 11, 12, 13 year old boy,
or whatever it was, when that movie came out,
I went and saw it in the movie theaters
with some of my friends.
Like my parents would have never let me see that movie,
but someone's parents took us to the movie theater.
We snuck in to see the door.
The guy sold us the tickets.
We went and saw the doors.
And I just remember being in that movie theater, captivated. Oh, captivated.
It made a big impression. I said, that's what I want to do. I want to do that for a living.
I'd always loved music, but then that just solidified it for me. And who could have guessed
it that just a few short years later, I would be falling off stage in a drunken stupor at a empty bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
to nobody, doing my best Val Kilmer,
doing Jim Morrison impression.
It was unbelievable.
I will always be in love with Val Kilmer
for playing that role.
He also did, didn't he do like a drug addict in a movie?
Like, wasn't he in, was it Rush?
No, Rush was the other guy.
No, I was going through his whole list of movies.
I was like, oh yeah, I forgot about that one, this one.
He's played all kinds.
He really was so versatile.
He played anybody and everybody.
He was amazing.
Amazeballs, amazeballs, amazeballs.
I'll be your Uncle Barry.
Yeah, I'll be your Uncle Barry.
That's a good one.
When he met in the movie, when Jim Morrison meets Andy Warhol.
And Andy Warhol says, everybody will have their 15 minutes
of fame.
So true.
He was so accurate about that.
He knew it.
He saw it coming.
And now, look at us all.
We all have podcasts and Instagram channels.
And we're all getting
our 15 minutes of fame.
Fame and like being famous is not such an elusive thing
anymore, it's quite frankly, it's really easy to do.
All you need is a social media account
and either a really rock hard body
or the ability to say and do dumb, stupid shit
like we do here at the commercial break.
But anyway, he says, I got this phone,
like Andy, the guy playing Andy Warhol,
who's also a fantastic actor, by the way,
he says, I got this phone and God called.
But when he called, I didn't have anything to say to him.
And I just, like the way that Val acts in that scene
is so mesmerizing that I don't know any other way to put it.
It's one of the best moments on screen ever, ever.
That in the one scene where they're doing acid
in the desert, because I've also done acid in the desert
and it was very accurate depiction of what it's like
to do acid in the desert.
You're scared, you're lonely,
and you're certainly gonna die.
There you go, there it is.
Val Kilmer,mer gone way too young
I know he got throat cancer
Yeah, he got throat cancer, but then recovered from that and his latest thing was he was in the Top Gun Maverick. Yeah that one
But they had to use AI for his voice something. Yeah, that's what they said
I saw his last video he put out a social media video
Maybe like two or three days ago two or three three days ago, and he donned a Batman mask. But his voice was not Val Kilmer's voice.
Yeah. Well, there's a documentary out there that came out a few years ago that I watched.
Yeah, and it was like critically acclaimed, wasn't it?
I think, but yeah, it was really good and it goes through his whole kind of trajectory
of with the throat cancer. But he died of pneumonia.
He died of pneumonia?
Yeah.
Geez, that's what takes you.
That's the random shit that takes you when you get our age.
When you get into your late thirties.
That's what takes you is pneumonia or hip break
or something like that.
You just can't recover.
Your body just doesn't do it.
Oh, Val gone too soon.
And he went to Juilliard too,
which I did not know until I read the articles.
He was like the youngest person to get in.
Oh really?
At 17.
Really?
I didn't know that.
There you go, you learn something new every day.
Anyway, RIP Val Kilmer, I'll pour one out for you.
You will always be one of my favorites for,
if for anything.
I mean, there's so many other great roles you had too,
but if for anything,
you literally sucking up the ghost of Jim Morrison
and allowing it to be on screen.
And if you haven't seen the movie, The Doors,
get a glass of wine or your favorite,
call your favorite D and get him to bring over a bag
of your favorite, you know, Laffy Taffy or Speedball
or whatever it is you choose to do.
Be safe out there kids, do it at home.
Don't drink and drive, don't drug and drive,
but watch that movie in some state of intoxication
or meditation and tell me that it's not just
an amazing movie start to finish, it really is.
Anyway, that's the sad news today,
but there's lots of other good stuff
that's happening in the world, Chrissy.
Yeah.
I haven't read about any of it.
You tell.
But I haven't read about any of it,
but I'm sure that there's- No, there's always good stuff. I have't read about any of it. You tell. But I haven't read about any of it, but you know, I'm sure that there's.
No, there's always good stuff.
I have my nice news newsletter.
Okay, give us a nice news newsletter.
Pick one out, pick an article out,
because you know I'm only gonna talk trashy shit.
And I'm sorry, that's just my,
the thing is, is that because I love my Instagram
and my news feeds and I've kind of honed them
into this very specific version of the algorithm, the problem is it's not always the most positive
version of the algorithm because that's not always what I'm looking for.
It's not that I'm a negative person.
I'm trying to find humor in all of this.
I really have decided that this is all becoming very tragically hilarious.
Like, the world around us is becoming tragically hilarious.
It's a good way to put it.
And I think that I'm just going to laugh at it,
because there's nothing else to do.
I have no purchase in what goes on in the larger scene.
All I can do is control the things that are directly around me,
and maybe make some other people laugh in the meantime.
So I think that I've just decided this is all for
like I think was it George Carlin that said this this is all for my
entertainment the world is for my entertainment and I'm just choosing to
laugh at it observe it and laugh at it. It does sound like something he was to say.
So if it's something that I'm saying that I'm brilliant if it was something
that he said then at least I've quoted him I think George Carlin said that and
that's all really that we can do.
I mean, there are other things that we can do, of course, too, but not a middling podcaster.
What am I supposed to do, Chrissy?
Speaking of middling podcaster, while you figure out which story you want to tell us.
We've got a couple here.
Middling podcaster, Morgan Whalen is getting Morgan Wallen, Morgan Whalen, how do you say
his name?
I don't know.
Don't care. Really, quite frankly, don't care.
Morgan is not my flavor of music.
I'm just not a huge country music fan.
I think there are some great country songs.
There are some great country artists.
Morgan's not my flavor.
Now that's not to knock his music.
I just don't really get into it.
Okay, fine, whatever.
But did you see where he walked off Saturday Night Live?
Yes, God.
Without saying, like, doing the traditional goodbyes to everybody in the cast? Why? Why do that?
I don't know. And then that's afterwards was when he tweeted or said, yeah, whatever.
Ext. Ext out.
I kind of get back to God's country or something. So I guess he just had to get out of there.
I don't know. He hated New York for Saturday at Live.
I'm not sure.
First of all, must be really nice
to have a 26 million dollar Lear jet
waiting to take you to God's country.
How tone deaf is that?
I guarantee 99.999% of your fans
probably will never sit in a private plane. Most of us may never even sit in first class again, sit in a private plane.
Most of us may never even sit in first class again,
let alone a private plane.
And then to tweet that I got to get back to God's country
as if something is wrong.
You know, it's like, it's just, it's just divisive.
It doesn't make any sense.
And walking off directly in front of the camera
where you knew that was going to be out on live television
in front of millions of people just seemed rude to me.
Like, Saturday Night Live,
and I wanna say this about Morgan Whalen, Wal-en.
Whalen, Wal-en?
Whalen, Wal-en.
Whalen, Wal-en.
Wham-bam!
I changed his name.
AI.
When Morgan went through his drama
where he was using expletives
that most people should never utter out of their mouths
because you're just a decent human being and that's the wrong thing to do.
When he did, he was supposed to be on Saturday Night Live.
When that all blew up, you're supposed to be on Saturday Night Live that week.
Saturday Night Live obviously made the decision that is too hot to trot right now.
More, Lauren Michaels said, yeah, I'm sorry kid, you can't come on.
Not now.
This is this, the, the kitchen is too hot, you gotta get out.
But six months later, they invited him back and they said, okay, here's your shot, you
know, here's your shot at redemption.
After he went on the apology tour and I'm really sorry and that's not, you know, who
I am and all that other stuff.
Like, just like empty words that come out of every person's mouth when they get in trouble,
but they get caught being themselves and all of a sudden they have some different story or excuse as to
why it happened.
Welcome to 2025.
Well, Saturday Night Live had him on six months, seven months later.
So they invite him back for a second time and it's not like, so you decide to go do
the show, but it's not where you want to be.
Why do the show at all?
You're doing the show so that you can get attention because that's what people who are
creating, that's what mainstream artists do.
They have to go feed the machine and you went and fed the machine and the people at Saturday
Night Live and NBC and all the other people who are involved in that decision, gave you the platform to do that,
but you can't sit still for 15 seconds
and just say goodbye to those people.
Seems really rude.
You don't have to love everybody on stage.
You don't have to love what they're about.
You don't have to love their politics.
You don't have to love who they love.
You don't have to do any of that.
All you have to do is just stand there and say goodbye.
But you make a show of it and then- To me, it's an honor to be on Saturday Night Live. All you have to do is just stand there and say goodbye. But you make a show of it.
And then-
To me, it's an honor to be on Saturday Night Live.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
It's an honor. And I know that people like, some people may argue that like Saturday Night Live
is a bastion of liberal thinking, and they're always beating up on conservative ideas. They're
beating up on everybody. That's what they do. And yes, do they tend to lean liberal?
Yes, a lot of people in Hollywood creative types do.
They just have empathy for other human beings, so that's how they lean.
But if it's good enough that you can get yourself in front of 15, 16, 25 million people, then
it's good enough to sit with the 15 other artists and creators who are helping you get that message out get your music out it's good enough that you can stand
there and be respectful for a second now I'm not sure I don't think anybody's
yet found out whether Morgan even understood he was supposed to stand
there but that seems like would seem like a convenient excuse since he's
been there before he's done this another time. So I would say nay
to Morgan. First of all, don't invite him back. Second of all, Morgan, just be nice.
That's all you got to do is be nice and respectful. We don't all have to agree on politics or
anything, but can't we stand, you know, can us as artists or creators just stand there
and celebrate each other? I mean, whatever. Anyway, who cares? Fuck Morgan Whelan. There's
a girl on my Instagram. I think I mentioned this Whelan. There's a girl on my Instagram.
I think I mentioned this the other day.
There's a girl on my Instagram, she got catfished.
I don't know how I found this girl.
I don't know why I'm following her.
I'm following a bunch of people that I don't know
because I found one of the reels funny or interesting
and then I just followed him so I could follow up on it,
maybe for the show or whatever.
She got catfished by someone claiming to be Morgan Wayland's assistant, mother,
brother, sister, she had this whole situation go down and the person, those
people stole tens of thousands of dollars from her, like from her credit card.
They asked to send money.
She kept sending it on her, whatever it was, credit card or Chase credit card
or whatever, she kept sending them money through PayPal and Venmo and all this because they kept telling
her that Morgan was going to invite her to wherever he lives and that they were going
to have a date and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Listen, I think you got to be pretty thick to believe that any famous person would reach
out via social media, ask you for money and then invite you on a date.
Do you know what I'm saying?
And I don't think Morgan,
with his $28 million private jet
where he's going to God's country, needs any help with,
I don't think he needs tens of thousands of dollars
from anybody, but let's make the assumption
that the story was at all believable in the first place.
Wouldn't you do a little checking?
Like, wouldn't you talk to him on the phone,
get him on a FaceTime, meet them in person?
If Morgan wanted $20,000 from me,
I'd meet them in person.
Yeah.
Okay.
So this whole thing goes down
and while this whole thing is going down,
she's getting very, she's like one of these people
who posts constantly almost as if the screen is a friend
and she's update, or a boyfriend or a husband or a wife or whatever, and she's updating, or a boyfriend, or a husband,
or a wife, or whatever, and she's updating them constantly
on what's going on.
Hey, here's what I had for breakfast.
Here's me brushing my teeth.
Here's what I'm doing for my dance routine.
I almost got a job.
I applied for this.
I did that.
All of it, kind of like stream of consciousness,
a little weird.
And I noticed there are a lot of people out there
who are doing this.
Three, four, five reels in an hour.
And they're just like, it's as if they're talking to somebody in the room and who they're
talking to is social media.
If you're going to put yourself out there like that, you're likely going to have people
that are not going to be nice about what you're saying.
True.
I've never said a word to this person, by the way.
I'm not that person.
I don't jump in on the comments, but I like to read the comments.
I just don't jump in on them.
So this whole thing is going down.
She has this imaginary relationship going on with Morgan in her head,
and she keeps talking about it, blah, blah, blah.
Turns out he's not real, they're not real,
and after some months and some,
trying to get her money back from the credit card company and all this,
it's just gone. It's lost.
The police are like, what do you want us to do?
How are we supposed to find some random...
Those cases are hard to prosecute.
They never get prosecuted. Never.
Unless there's like a firm trail of evidence.
Those people are in, you know, Timbuk fucking 2.
They're never, they're never gonna get prosecuted for anything.
It's likely they barely know how to, you know,
they barely know, they barely have a grocery store around them,
let alone a police
department that gives a shit. So all this goes on. She's lots of tears, lots of upsetness.
She goes on a local, not a local, but an internet television show that's much like Catfish.
It's actually called Online Catfish. But it's not the actual, it's not Neve. It's like two
other people. I don't know if it's connected or not connected, but it seems to be pretty popular.
And they do catfish stories.
So she gets picked to do one of these stories.
And the guy on the program, the girl on the program
are kind of level-headed and they're like,
didn't you have any indication
that this might not be Morgan Whelan
when Morgan Whelan is like, he's talking, you know,
he's talking to you on this, on his mom's Instagram account.
But he's actually playing a sold out show in Los Angeles.
Like, doesn't it seem like, didn't you put two and two
together that he might not be able to talk to you
while he's doing a sold out show?
And sometimes she seems to get it,
and other times she's like, well,
he could have been backstage.
And it's like, no, come on, lady.
I mean, you know, honestly, sad.
All this goes down, show comes out, she's very upset about how she was portrayed but then here's the kicker over the last couple of weeks she has started to talk to the camera about how she believes
that she is owed at least owed a conversation with Morgan, like an invitation to meet with him and have a conversation
since somebody else used his name to screw her over.
And she thinks that if I just had a chance,
if I just could meet him,
then he would see what a beautiful relationship
we can have.
This is scary stalker-type shit.
Now, I don't think she's like a dangerous,
she doesn't seem to be a dangerous or violent person,
seems to be very sweet, actually. Or what she's showing you. What she's showing is right. Exactly. She doesn't show us cooking the rabbits in rabbit stew, you know what I'm saying?
But I just keep thinking to myself, I'm watching someone turn in real life. I'm watching someone
turn a corner in real life. They have gone from, I had a really bad situation
to almost full blown delusional.
Like, listen, I would love it if Dua Lipa
would show up at my house.
She could ask me for any amount of money.
I wouldn't be able to give it to her,
but she could ask, I'd try.
Maybe I'd rob a bank or something for Dua.
But if Dua came to my house and asked me for something and said, we could have a beautiful relationship,
I'd say, Astrid, what do you think about polyamory?
No, not for you?
Well, take care of the kids and tell them I love them.
I'm kidding. I'm them. I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I take the kids with me.
OK, so Dua Lipa is never going to reach out to Brian Greene
or Chrissy Hodeley or my wife.
Never.
Why?
Because those people have lives that
have their own friends and their own family members.
And they are very busy.
And they know better.
It's like rule number one of fame.
An agent somewhere, we've had agents that have told us this and we don't and no one
knows who the fuck the commercial break is.
Be careful about interactions.
Be careful about interactions because people, you don't know who's on the other end of them
and people can interact and react in all kinds of ways.
But in my head, I just know that's never gonna happen.
Like, Dua Lipa doesn't give a shit about Brian Greene,
never will. Never has, never will.
And with good reason, I'm an idiot.
But this poor girl, she just doesn't seem to get it
through her head. And I'm starting to believe
that I'm watching her turn in real life.
Yeah, you could be.
A little delusional, like a therapist
needs to intervene immediately.
But second of all, it's really hard to date out there.
When you're just like, when you're hoping that Morgan
Whelan is going to show up at your front door,
it must be really difficult to be a single person in 2025.
I think so, yes, from what I hear.
I wish we'd go back to the good old days, Chrissy.
Like the 80s or 90s, when it was, you know,
when literally, Poo Tang was, yeah, I mean days, Chrissy. Like the 80s or 90s, when it was, you know, when literally, Poo Tang was...
Yeah, I mean, I wasn't dating in the 80s.
Ah! Was I dating?
Is it, like, when you're in second grade and you get a crush,
is that a date? Like, when you go to the All-Skate
with somebody at the skating party?
To, like, the movies or something?
Couple skate, yeah, couple skate, hold hands,
stuff like that. I don't know. I don't know.
Okay.
Okay, in the 90s and 2000s, life just seemed a little easier.
It seemed hard back then, but now I realize just how easy it was.
You literally walk into a bar and pussy be falling from the sky.
No doubt. Not really. But that's what mystery thinks.
Anyway, in the 90s and 2000s, life was easier.
And that's why, Chrissy, I want wanna take us back to a simpler time this episode,
and I wanna catch up with Blind Date UK.
Ooh.
But first, do you have a good story for us
so we can end this segment
on a little bit of positivity? I do, I do.
All right, tell us.
Well, again, I highly recommend this newsletter.
It's called Nice News Daily,
and it comes to your inbox every day, first thing.
So you can start with that before you get to the slush
and dumpster fire stuff that's happening.
So here's something, Paris Hilton, of all people,
is helping women-owned businesses begin again
after they've eaten fire.
So just two months after her house.
Well, that fire's out in.
Oh, the eaten fire.
Okay, I'm sorry.
They said after they've eaten fire. And I'm like's out in... Oh, the eaten fire. Okay, I'm sorry. They said after they've eaten fire.
And I'm like, what?
People are out there eating fire?
This is sounding like good news to me.
Okay, all right.
Yes, so just two months after Paris Hilton
watched her Malibu home burn to the ground,
she's already helping others rebuild their lives.
The reality star and entrepreneur
is harnessing her nonprofit, 1111 Media Impact,
to offer grants up to 25,000 to women-owned
businesses impacted by the fire.
Good for her.
I got to be honest with you.
I have liked Paris Hilton since day one.
I have liked her since day one, since that stupid fucking whatever, you know, that show.
There's definitely been a fascination with her.
Yeah.
Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, I was into it from day one.
The simple life.
The simple life. I was into it from day one,
and I've always liked Paris Hilton, and I don't know why.
And I was with her one time at a bar.
Oh, that's right.
I was with her at a podcast conference one time.
I watched her spin, and I gotta be honest, it wasn't bad.
And she really seemed to be into it.
And even though she was with kind of like a bunch
of like old, fat, you know, weird podcasters,
she gave us a party. She threw a party.
Yeah, I think she kind of got a bad rap. But I know what you're saying. She was just like
kind of in that wheelhouse when we were younger. Yes. And she was rich, beautiful, fun, party.
What are you going to do? She's going through her teenage years in front of everybody. And
yeah, there was drug use and alcohol. Of course. Like everybody goes through, a lot of people, especially celebrities.
Yes, like I hope to go through again.
Yes.
I hope to go through it again.
But now she's married and she has a baby and she's come out talking about that abusive
school that she went to.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those like wilderness things or tough love things.
The wilderness, yeah.
Those things are terrible.
Yeah, they've shut down.
I had friends that went to those. I had friends that went to those.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like Paris.
I've always liked someone who's in on the joke.
I think it's, I think that we were talking with Tim Balz,
go back and listen to Tim Balz's episode,
Righteous Gemstones Shrink.
I'll put some links in the show notes so you can go see it.
But we had a great talk with him
and we were talking with him,
and he was talking about Chris, who's the guy?
Chris, now I can't remember his name,
but he was like this weird kind of standup comic,
but kind of Andy Kaufman-ish.
He had his own show for a while.
Anyway, I always liked when someone had a persona,
but they seemed to be in on the joke.
When she was like, that's hot, and everyone was freaking out
because they felt she was dumbing down society,
I think she was just, her and Nicole were just in on the joke.
They just got it. They got the zeitgeist.
They were the zeitgeist.
And when the zeitgeist ended, she smartly went away
and she came back, the real Paris Hilton,
and that's enjoyable too.
So I liked both versions of her and good for her
helping out those ladies.
There's your nice news.
Yeah.
I mean, about $25,000, can't we put a little bit more
in the tank?
I mean, your dad owns Hilton.
I mean, come on, let's go.
Your dad, your grandpa was counting around.
Come on, let's go.
All right, let's take a break.
And when we get back, Chrissy, we're
going to do some Blind Date UK.
It's been a while, and I look forward
to hearing what Celia Black has to say for us. Okay, we'll be back.

Hey all you cats and kittens out there in the podcast universe!
I want to tell you about Rule Breakers with Serea.
It's a new podcast from our partners at Odyssey that celebrates the rebels, the risk-takers,
and the ones who make their own way.
It's these people who often change the lives of the people around them and the world at
large.
And while in the moment it may be hard to see the force through the trees, those Rule
Breakers often define what it means to be a success.
Each week, former wrestling superstar Serea sits down with the boldest voices in sports,
entertainment, and beyond to talk about breaking barriers, defying expectations, and rewriting
the rules.
They're talking about it all, the fights, the failures, and the moments that changed
everything. You can follow and listen to Rule Breakers, the failures, and the moments that changed everything.
You can follow and listen to Rule Breakers with Surya
on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts.
And here, here to the Rule Breakers
for keeping life interesting.
All right, and we're back.
Listen, I said I was gonna do Celia Black, Blind Date UK,
but we actually got into it a little bit
and figured out that we could not understand
a fucking word that was being said.
No, the accents were so thick.
The accents were way thick.
So we're gonna bail on that
and I'm gonna change it up a little bit.
I still have 90s dating show material.
I've got lots of it.
I think we should do, as a good backup plan here,
I think we should do, remember the show Studs?
Yes, God.
Studs, this is a mid, I know.
We're talking like mid to late 90s, grunge era,
new rock, think Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit.
Paris Hilton era. Paris Hilton era, that's right.
And there was a show where they would take two or three men,
two or three women, they would put them on couches.
They would send them on dates and then they would get their opinions of what
happened afterwards on a couch and what you win.
I don't know who fucking knows who fucking cares.
That's not the point of the thing.
There's a host.
He prods it along and basically here's how it goes.
The people who went on the date as they go on the dates with each other, they
write things down, their impressions of what's going on and what's happening.
And then the host will read these options out,
did, who said this?
And then they give them three options.
Okay, so I'm just telling you how it's gonna go here.
Obviously the producers highly edit and can these responses.
No one is this quick witted, but you'll get it.
It's a fun, bordering on sexual assault type of show.
The 1990s were wild.
When you look back on it, it's like, where were we?
What were we?
What was anyone thinking?
How did we get away with this shit?
And why do we get away with this shit?
So let's take a look at Studs here.
Hey, how are you?
Welcome, welcome, welcome to a very special week of shows here on Studs all week long.
It's Wild Women Week.
Wild Women Week?
What channel was this on?
This was on like UPN or the CW.
I think it was like in that syndication.
Back in the 90s, they started to do this syndication model.
Television channels would pop up,
and what they would do is they would buy mainly syndicated television shows,
shows that were made that no network really wanted.
But they would buy them on the cheap, syndicate them,
and then the syndicated show would take a cut of the revenues.
Channels like CW, UPN, WB,
all these channels popped up out of nowhere,
and they had very little original content, but they were syndicating, like, you know,
Judge Judy, Studs, all these dumb shows that no one else wanted,
and they would put them on during the daytime or late at night.
Studs was one of those shows. It floated around,
depended on where he lived, because it was the local markets that would buy the show.
In addition to that very special week of shows,
we got a reversal show.
A special week of shows,
as if anybody got excited about Stubbs.
Do you think someone came home and said,
mom, it's a special week of Stubbs.
I can't go to school.
Three guys on the couch, two women over there.
Are they oiling up?
They might be because they're hot mud oil wrestler women.
Hot mud oil wrestlers.
I didn't know that was a profession.
I think that's AKA porn star.
I think that's what that means.
Let's make a noise.
But no knock on the porn stars.
No knock on porn stars.
No, I think that used to be a thing.
Like, they would have, like, oil wrestling at night
or something.
Yeah.
Clubs and things.
Yeah, they would travel around, like, regionally.
They had, like like these regional competitions.
I remember that good old days.
Do you remember good old days here in Atlanta, Roswell Road?
Anybody who's hit remembers, anybody who's lived in Atlanta for any
period of time might remember good old days.
First bar I went to, first bar I went to.
And first night I went to that bar way back before the Olympics.
Mud wrestling. mud wrestling.
Mud wrestling, yeah, it was a thing.
It was a thing.
It was a thing.
I tell ya.
And those girls knocked the shit out of each other,
by the way.
I love this 90s, like, logo design.
Yeah.
Let me introduce the guys on the couch right next to me,
27 year old underwear model, Michelle KM.
Give him a big hand.
Underwear model, AKA porn star.
I mean, he's wearing like a sleeveless button down.
That's classic.
Why is his body so big and his head so small?
You know what I'm saying?
Look at that guy at the end.
Look at that guy at the end.
Steroids.
Sterol.
26-year-old flooring contractor.
Yeah, high five, bro. Sweet. Contractor
Ty Taigo. Ty Taigo. I love Ty Taigo. He's got that hair from, like he's got the Kevin Bacon
Flash dance hair. He does have the, you're right about that Kevin. That's a very, it was a very
popular style. Flat top, high, you know, they would like tease it up. It was that transition period
between the 80s and 90s
when you didn't quite know what to do with your hair.
And by the way, if you like Tai Teh Go,
you should try Tai Teh sitting down at the restaurant.
It's delicious, it's wonderful.
Milton Holmes, the third land developer. He's wearing a blazer.
He's got cascading curls.
Cascading curly hair, light blue blazer, white t-shirt, acid washed jeans, dark colored boots
on.
This is a time capsule right here.
I'm going to show my kids this and I'm going to tell them, I don't know, this was George
Washington.
They're giving up for him.
Yeah.
Yeah, high five, high five.
Why are they high fiving each other?
What's that all about?
I don't know, are they in competition?
What kind of woman are you looking for?
Yeah, I think it's all the testosterone
makes them have to do something with their hands.
Four.
Hard, flat, stomach, tight butt.
All right, sounds pretty good.
Yeah.
Ty, how about you?
I love the host. Sounds pretty good. Ty, how about you? I love to host. Sounds pretty good. Sounds great.
Someone's just going to put up a big challenge, make me work for what I want.
Says the guy who never wanted that.
Says the guy who can't deal with anybody.
Michelle, I like a woman that has nice body, long legs, nice breast, and a little bit of
an airhead.
I like that.
You like an airheaded girl? Yeah. A little bit of an airhead. I like that. You like an airheaded girl?
Yeah, a little bit of an airhead.
Airhead, huh?
Interesting, interesting.
A beautiful airhead.
Interesting angle there, my friend.
Who cut the sleeves out?
That's coming from the underwear model.
Yeah, who cut the sleeves out?
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
That's what I was saying, it's a button down too.
With a pocket.
This is peak Amber, Comby, and Fitch right here.
You don't have to worry about what they're going to say and you don't have to go into
complications.
You can just lift things and have...
Complications?
Like what, a conversation?
I think you meant to say conversation.
Complications.
Complications, like talking?
Right.
You don't have to deal with that.
I know.
What a dumb dumb.
We have two wild women for today, Sherry and Tracy.
Come on out.
Sherry and Tracy, probably not their real names.
Sherry, good to see you.
Tracy, good to see you.
Have a seat.
That's classic.
Classic 80s, 90s too.
Oh, this is, this is night.
I'm going to guess-
This is like video vixens.
Yeah, I know.
Oh yeah, video vixens.
That's right.
Without knowing the actual year, I'm saying 9091 is probably...
You've gotta be.
You've gotta be, because that hair is straight out of the 80s.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Curl, tease, bang.
Yeah. The guys in the crowd, they can barely hold themselves back.
It's like they're animals in a cage.
Ah!
Thank you.
Why is she not showing her face? Right next to me 29 year old oil wrestler Sherry Amundsen give her a hand.
She is straight out of a white snake video.
Oh, she is.
Yes.
I mean really.
Honestly, you're right about that.
That is that's Brett Michael's one of Brett Michaels' wives. And next to Cherie, she's 24, she's also an oil wrestler.
Give it up for Tracy Ray.
What's wrong with Tracy Ray?
Why is half her hair covering half her face?
Yeah, she's got that going.
Sit back, Trace. There you go.
Alright ladies.
This is back when breast implants came in one size and one size only. Huge.
Now this works, the woman with the most hearts in the show is Queen Studge.
You go on a date, we pay for it.
Fair enough?
We're going to start out with a Ben Stiller hairy back heart.
Ben Stiller?
Ben Stiller, hairy back heart.
I don't even know what that means.
Ben Stiller, hairy back heart.
Oil on this would get all clumpy.
So we'll keep it oil free.
Oh, Ben Stiller, hairy back?
Yeah, but why would we know that Ben Stiller has a hairy back
at this time in life?
I remember, it was like the brief Ben Stiller show on MTV.
It was a brief moment in time when
it was like part late night talk show,
part like comedy sketches, kind of SNL.
Maybe that's what he's referring to.
When you're getting ready to go out on a date, how long does it take you?
An hour, maybe more.
Okay.
Oh, that hair?
It doesn't surprise me.
An hour.
All right, so we asked the guys if they were pleased when they first saw you, Sheri.
Here's what they told us.
One of the guys said, her honey-dipped hair had my drool glands working overtime.
Her honey-dipped hair had my drool glands working overtime,
said no one ever. And the second guy said, I flutter those baby blues and I was Mr. Happy,
said none of the guys on this couch. And the third guy said, you gotta love a woman whose Oh my god, this is so peak 90s.
And the three guys on the couch supposedly said these things, but clearly none of these
guys have two brain cells to wrap together, let alone make a comment like that.
You got to have a woman whose breasts have their own zip thread must be melty.
Milt?
No.
Oh!
I can't get over his hair.
It looks like a wig.
It does.
It does.
It really does.
I think it's the first guy.
Yeah, I think it's the first guy, too.
What did you say, Milt?
The flutter of those baby blues.
She does have blue eyes.
That's pretty pretty.
You like that?
Yes.
So what did you think when you first saw her?
I figured she was just mine, mine, mine.
Oh, me like woman. Oh, me like tit-ass. Yes.
Mine, mine, mine.
I'm sorry, Chrissy. Mine, mine, mine. You no agree?
When you first saw him, Sherry?
Pretty much the same thing.
Really? The Enor Gansman says? Alright, whory? Pretty much the same thing. Really? You think you were against this?
All right, who actually?
Most she likes, Milton.
Get down on your knees.
Close clean floor.
Blow dick.
Duh duh.
Rest with their own zip code.
Michelle.
I knew it.
You knew it.
Good job.
Would that be the new nine digit zip code
or the old five digit zip code?
Nine digits.
Really?
Yeah, nine digit zip code. You're like a busty woman though, you said that earlier.
Yeah, sure.
I mean I like it when there's something there.
Sure.
Is she too smart for you?
No she's not.
What did you think when you first met Michelle, Sherri?
No, she's not.
No.
I basically didn't think anything.
You're right.
I just kind of lost brain freeze because he's so attractive.
Really?
Oh, she likes him.
OK, she goes for that small headed, big forehead
kind of look.
Yeah.
Do you notice his forehead just moves right into his hair?
It does.
Like, there's no transition there.
All right.
Oh!
Let's try and get over this gridlock.
We're going to move on to you, Tracy.
When you talk to a guy on the phone, can you tell anything substantive about him?
Tell whether he's sexy or not, or self-confident.
Really?
Whoa, listen to that voice.
How?
Spent a ton of his voice on how he speaks.
We asked them what they thought of you when they talked to you on the phone.
Oh, God.
And they talked on the phone? I have no idea what the phone. Oh, God. And here's their phones. They talked on the phone?
I have no idea what's going on here, actually.
I thought they went on a date ahead of time,
but maybe I'm wrong about that.
I didn't watch Studs for the actual minutiae.
And I only think I watched a couple of episodes,
but I do remember it being a mainstay of daytime television
for a while there.
Her savage growl made me feel like King of the Jungle.
Oh, man.
Second guy said that dreamy voice
is as smooth as satin sheets.
And the third guy said, sexual, straightforward, oh my god,
it's Dr. Ruth.
Ah!
Well, wait, this had to be more than the phone call,
because they had to say what they thought
of what they saw.
What they looked like.
That's right.
Now, either they looked at photographs or they saw each other in person.
That savage girl made me feel like the king of the jungle would probably be Michelle.
No, I don't say anything like that.
What'd you say, Michelle?
I said sexual straightforward. Oh my God. It's disgusting. Really. What'd you say, Michelle? I said sexual, straightforward, oh my god, it's disgusting.
Really?
What'd you talk about on the phone?
Well, I could talk about anything and she wouldn't mind.
I mean, we could just talk about, let your mind work.
Let your mind work?
Let's get complicated.
I know.
Yeah, was he a good conversationalist on the phone?
Yes.
Who said the king of the jungle? well who said the king of the jungle?
Who felt like the king of the jungle?
That was me.
Milk!
King of the mobile home park, perhaps.
Perhaps.
Ooh, burn.
Listen to that.
Jeez, I like this host.
He's sassy.
Why, what'd you talk about?
We talked about wet things, oceans, and fun things
that we don't want to talk about here.
What did you talk about with Mil?
I don't even understand what's going on.
First of all, second of all, the girl on the couch, Tracy or Lacey or whatever her name
is, she cannot stop wiping her nose.
Oh.
Yeah, but again, this is the early 90s, late 80s coming out of the, you know, everybody
was high back then.
Well, we just basically talked about getting together and going somewhere because everything
was just so, spread the moment, but we like that.
Well, good.
All right, we'll come back.
We'll see what happened on those spread the moment dates.
We'll come back.
We have no substance whatsoever in this segment.
Let's get to the next segment.
I'm so confused.
Me too.
What's going on?
Do they like each other?
Do they not like each other? But they apparently have been on a date. Yeah, well, hey listen.
Let's find out in the next segment. Okay.
Okay, move along. Here we go. Sorry, there's some space for the commercial.
Hey, welcome back. All right, where were we? Sheri, how can you tell if a guy's having a good time when he's out with you?
Body language, definitely.
Like, show me body language that says, hey, I'm having a good time with you, Sherry.
If they lean forward and look in your eyes and try to touch you, definitely that says
they're having a good time.
All right, we asked the guys what they enjoyed most about their dates with you.
Sherry, here's your answer.
Yeah, so they have been on dates.
Okay, so we got that down.
They told us one guy said, nothing gets me hotter than a woman with a talented tongue.
Oh my God.
Well, and also too, I'm confused on the matching up to the person.
I think they all went on dates with each other.
So I'm assuming they all went on dates with each other.
I thought that's how this goes.
I think they all go on dates with each other, probably talk on the phone.
They get to know each other ahead of time.
But like who's writing these?
Perverted Dr. Seuss?
I mean, honestly, it's so weird.
Nothing gets me hotter than a woman with a talented tongue.
That's just not something a human being would say.
No.
The second guy said,
the second guy said,
hail Sherry Queen of the quivering hips.
Oh.
Oh.
And the third guy said, this girl really knows how to put a knot in my pants. A knot in your pants?
A knot in my pants.
Good Lord.
Oh my God, the innuendos here are terrible.
This girl really knows how to put a knot in my pants, Ty?
Nope.
No. Nope.
Who else did you sleep with?
Nope.
What'd you say, Ty?
Hail Sherry, queen of the quivering hips.
Really?
Why is that?
We went dancing, and she's a very good dancer.
Is Ty a pretty good dancer, Sherry?
Yes, he is.
OK.
Do you think he'd make a good wrestler?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, not as good as some of you.
Personality is flowing out of all these people.
I mean, honestly, no one has any personality.
I think like going out and going dancing
used to be a big way to go on a date.
It did. A first date.
You know, Astrid has been telling me
since the day that we met.
And I'm not a dancer, and no one's ever gonna claim
that Brian Greene is a good dancer.
But I'm also not afraid to dance.
I figure just let it loose, you know, I like dancing.
And so, you know, if you don't like my dancing,
you don't have to watch me, right?
But Astrid says that where she comes from,
and in Spain, it's not unusual to go somewhere and dance.
Go dancing, yeah.
Because that is a night out.
You sit down for a nice meal, you go dancing.
I kinda like that.
Where could we do that here?
Not at the Bill Murray concert, that's for sure.
No.
We can do it at places like, I guess, Tongan Gru.
I mean, there's some places out there,
but like, you gotta bring a bulletproof vest
to some of these places.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like dangerous, the three o'clock in the morning
with people that, some people are just out there
having fun, but then others are in the club doing,
you know, we've been to clubs.
We know what happened to the clubs.
Just back then, you weren't allowed to carry a firearm
everywhere you went, so.
I'd just slaughter, but maybe, you know,
the next level down.
Well, I could pin him up.
I'm sure you could.
Who really got a knot put in their pants? Who was that? Oh, Milt Holmes the third.
What happened there? Milt, what did you guys do? Well, I got a boner. Well we were out
dancing ourselves and one thing led to another and she ran over to someone else
and grabbed their tie and shoved it down my pants.
What?
What?
That's an interesting dance move I haven't heard about before.
Let me stuff random socks down your pants.
Someone's tie?
Someone's tie.
First of all, where did you get the tie?
Who's giving you a tie?
Yeah, you put it down his pants.
Third of all, did you give the tie back is what I want to know.
I have this fetish for ties.
I like this guy's tie and I got him to give it to me and I didn't want to lose it.
So yeah.
It's a good thing he says he has a fetish for shoes.
Tracy, when you think a guy is good looking, cute, what do you do?
How do you let him know? Tell him straight out. You just say, hey, what do you do? How do you let him know?
Tell him straight out.
You just say, hey, what would you say?
I just say, you're really cute or you're really attractive or...
You are hot.
You really get my goose?
I love you.
Whatever.
You've actually said that to a guy?
You really get my goose?
Oh yeah, I get my goose.
Yeah, like anybody has said any of these things you're talking about today.
Come on, dude.
But have you noticed that brooch keeps moving all over her shirt?
And it's like a jaguar or something.
Yeah.
We asked if there was any gislings over here on the dates, and here's what they said.
One of the guys said...
A gisling?
Her legs are as long as the stairway to heaven.
Second guy said, I envy the lint in that sweet little innie.
That's disgusting. Second guy said, I envy the lint in that sweet little innie. Woo!
That's disgusting.
Ugh.
My OCD just kicked in.
The third guy said, from the tips of her acrylics
to the depths of her D cups, this babe is one big boing.
Boing.
Boing.
Another bo- fit another boner joke in.
Dave on our staff's the boner joke writer. He gets one in every time.
Good job, Dave.
High five.
Oh my God.
I envy the Linton that sweet little Innie.
It's gotta be Milton.
There you go, Milton.
It's the first part of the night.
Oh, the back hair heart. That's what you get.
Yeah, they give you a trinket with hair from Ben Stiller.
I don't know what's going on.
What are you talking about there, Milk?
Well, when I first saw her, she had a pirate shirt on.
And all I could see besides her beautiful breasts were that little belly button.
She had a pirate shirt on? She had a pirate shirt on?
She had a pirate shirt on?
Like argh, that kind of pirate?
Or what are we talking about here?
We went to go to this one bar and there was a line around the door so we said the heck
with them and we went to a real very nice posh bar next door and we had a very nice
time except for the fact that he squeezed both my breasts together like they were cookie
dough. Oh, a little sexual time except for the fact that he squeezed both my breasts together like they were cookie dough.
Oh!
Oh!
A little sexual assault at the end of the day.
I'm Milt. Milt Jr. the Third.
Or whatever is Milt Jr. the Third.
I'm a land developer. Hey now!
Even the host knows he went too far.
Sometimes the dough is better than the actual cookie.
Is there a reason I don't know?
I don't even know him.
That made no sense.
He's quick-witted in a weird way.
As legs are as long as the stairway to heaven or...
That's gotta be the first guy because he talked about legs.
That's right.
By the way, do we just skip over the assault part of the night?
Don't we have to follow up on that?
No.
Like, why are you grabbing her breasts like that?
From the tips of her acrylics to the depths of her D cups, this babe is one big boy-ing.
Her legs are as long as the stairway to heaven.
Maybe Ty?
Nope.
I knew it.
Nope.
Who was the other guy?
Oh, Ty. Ty's losing on all fronts.
Look at Ty in the couch. He just looks like he's lost.
Ty, what'd you say?
I said from the tips of acrylic.
Well, we know what he said because there's only two
choices, you dumb dumb.
To the depth of our D-cup, this lady's one big boy.
What'd you mean by that?
What do you mean?
Bang, bang, boom.
Cookie doll milk?
That's what they felt like to me.
It's that delicious tall house taste.
Oh, my God.
That's pretty funny, actually.
Soft bench.
She said soft bench cookies.
You usually get romantic on a first date with a guy?
If there's chemistry there, yeah.
If there's shmeck in there, yes.
Well, we asked the guys if there was any romance on their dates with you, and here's what they
told us one of them said.
Oh, that's good.
Let's get down to the good parts.
The Pacific Ocean is just a puddle compared to our deep desire.
Oh, okay.
Second guy said our mouths fit together like a cork in a champagne bottle. Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
The guy said, the only way I'll forget our passion
is to have my brain removed.
Boo-yoo-yoo-yoo-yoo-yoo-ing.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Our mouths fit together like a cork in a champagne bottle.
That's Michelle.
There you go.
Yeah, that's right.
I stung my tongue down her throat.
I showed her my underwear modeling photographs.
Buh-yoyoyoyoyoying!
So what did you guys do on your date?
We went to a restaurant and we ended up kissing after a while.
At the restaurant?
Yeah, in front of everybody. And it was getting a little bit too much kissing.
So what did you do?
Well, we stopped and we went somewhere else.
Where'd you go?
That doesn't concern you. Oh, that's got spicy.
Wow.
You're obviously not a regular viewer, Michelle.
Where'd you go, Sherry?
We had a hotel room, so I went there.
Wow, it's the whiz-bang 90s, kids.
Yeah, it is.
Get after it.
Get on it.
Hey, listen, two consenting adults
can have a good time, right, Chrissy?
Of course.
I don't know.
I don't oppose.
I don't object, Your Honor.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Nice hotel room?
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's where the date ended.
That's pretty much where it ended.
All right, well, you get to go again there.
Pacific Ocean is just a puddle compared to our deep desire or the only way I'll forget
our passion is to have my brain removed.
The only way I'll forget our passion is to have my brain removed.
Milti?
Nope.
What'd you say, Milti?
We know what he said.
It's the only choice left.
We don't, geez, you don't have to repeat
the dumb line four times.
Hey, do me a favor.
We're not saying my boner lines enough.
Can we repeat them?
The Pacific Ocean is just a puddle
compared to our deep desire.
Really?
What'd you mean by that?
Well, compared to our desire for each other,
I think the Pacific Ocean is just a part of it.
Okay, yeah, we got it. You just repeated the line. Again.
It's the same backwards and forwards, Mel.
We're not diagramming sentences here. We're trying to move ahead.
Why were you so desirous of Sherry? Give me some reasons.
Oh, the way she touches me, the way she holds me.
The way she holds you? What are you, two? The way she holds you. the way she holds me. The way she holds you? What are you two?
The way she holds you.
The way she holds me.
I don't know.
It's just funny to hear that coming out of that man's mouth.
Even she's like, creepy.
Two pretty damn good reasons, Sherry.
Tracy, when you're with a guy that you love.
All right, okay, let's take a break and then when we come back, we'll, this is a very interesting
time capsule here, Chrissy.
It really is.
I really am enjoying this.
Okay, we'll be back.
Let me do something Brian has never done.

See, Brian?
That really wasn't that difficult, now was it?
You're welcome.
All right, we're back reviewing the early 90s
daytime television dating show, Studs.
Because why not?
Name it Studs, get another boner joke in there.
They really like to give them any signals
to let them know that you're getting ready to get romantic?
Yeah.
What kind of signals?
Yes.
Touch them.
Oh!
Or I take their hand and put their hand on front of me.
I hold them.
I hold them like a baby.
She said, I put their hand in a place where... let's hear that again.
What kind of signals?
I touch them.
Oh! Or I take their hand and put their hand on part of me.
I kiss them and wait for them to kiss me and then I...
So you don't mind making the first...
Wow, she seems really jittery, doesn't she?
She does.
No, not at all.
Okay.
The brooch is gone.
Yeah, that brooch is gone. It went right down her shirt.
Someone's gonna make it and if they may be too inhibited at the time to do it hell I'm gonna do it because I'm not
gonna miss out on a chance of a lifetime. Chance of a lifetime? I'm sorry young
lady I'm sure you have lots of chances of a lifetime you're a pretty good
looking girl I'm I don't think many guys turned you down.
Well we asked the guys about your romantic moves.
And one of the guys said, she whipped out her gum and chewed my face instead.
The second guy said, that mouth is more than fast, it's downright supersonic.
And the third guy said, a rip here, a tear there, and lips and clothes were everywhere.
Wow.
Did everybody just hook up with everybody?
I think that's what goes on here.
I think that's what happened.
I think the premise of the show is we'll give you $100, get a motel room, fuck each other,
and come back and tell us all about it.
Go dancing.
But only in innuendos.
Oh my God.
A rip here and a tear there and lips and clothes
through everywhere has got to be Milton.
Milton!
Yeah, good old Milton.
What's that mean, Milton?
Well, what that means is we're having a pretty good time
when we left the bar.
And we pretty much did the streets of San Diego.
You did the streets of San Diego.
I'm not even, is that lingo that I'm not understanding? I did the streets of San Diego. Is that lingo that I'm not understanding?
I did the streets of San Diego.
Did your date with Miltie end up, Tracy?
After you're driving around the city streets...
Around the corner, he jizzed on the wall of the bar.
For a while.
And then it ended up the next morning.
Whoa. Yeah, because we were doing blow all night long.
I'm sure of it.
Fun evening? Yeah, kind we were doing blow all night long. I'm sure of it.
Fun evening?
Yeah, kind of sticky.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
I'm Mercy.
What is going on?
Oh my god.
I can't believe this didn't get censored.
Oh, it's kind of sticky.
He poured Dr. Pepper on me.
So you're part of the Pepper on me.
So you're part of the Pepper generation now.
I suppose.
She ripped out a gum and chewed my face instead or that mouth is more than fast, it's downright
supersonic.
That mouth is more than fast, it's downright supersonic.
No.
I missed out on that one.
Poor metal guy just keeps getting shafts.
Why are we not asking a follow-up question about Dr. Pepper being poured on you?
I mean, come on, host, whatever your name is.
Ambiguous host from the 90s dating shows.
He looks kind of familiar.
Oh, he was like a host of a bunch of these type of shows.
She wiped out the gunner and chewed my face instead.
Really?
Yeah. Where were you?
We were in my car and we were gonna kiss.
She said, hold on, wait, stop.
Come out.
What's the matter about this?
Is that for here?
I'm ready.
Come on back and we're gonna find out
which one of these guys is gonna sing a man a lullaby.
Is gonna sing a man a lullaby?
Sing a man a lullaby?
I don't know.
What in the writing on this show is horrific.
Of course we do.
That's very easy.
Judging by the reaction in the crowd,
Studs was pretty popular.
It was.
She's all nervous.
Welcome back.
All right, ladies, before the show,
we got these guys rounded up and they gave us
some descriptions of you.
You tell me who they're talking about,
I'll give you a heart. How many hearts you got there, Sherry?
One.
And how many do you have, Tracy?
Two.
Woo, boy, we're going to the heart bankruptcy now.
We're giving them something in the way.
Sherry, according to these three guys,
who's most likely to have a teddy bear collection,
you or Tracy?
Me.
She says Sherry, guys.
Sherry.
There you go.
Hey.
Hey. Hey. Sherry. There you go. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Hold me.
You get a heart with hair, back hair on it.
Girls have teddy bears.
You got any stuffed animals at your house?
No, just me.
Yeah, just white snake posters on the wall, beer cans.
Tracy, who's most likely to sing a man a lullaby?
You or Sherry?
Probably Sherry. Probably Sherry.
Probably Sherry, she says.
Guys?
Sherry.
There you go.
Hey.
Hi, Michelle.
Probably Sherry.
I think Sherry.
Sherry is the kind of romantic person
that would do that kind of thing.
And would that make a big impression on you?
Yeah, I guess it would.
Yeah, I like to be sung, too, like a baby.
Because my mom still does that to me every Tuesday
and Thursday night.
I call her up and I say, hey mom, rock my baby.
What song would you like to hear?
What song would I like to hear?
French song.
A French, okay, Frère Jacques.
Sherri, who's gonna iron her underpants, you or Tracy?
Tracy.
Tracy, guys?
Tracy's like, huh?
Tracy.
There you go. Iron, iron, iron. Underpants. Tracy guys she's like, huh
Yeah, it's iron underpants because when you're high in cocaine you do a lot of that stuff
Well as an oil wrestler, I think those anywhere we get quite a bit airtime
You are I wish they the sound effect like that boying sound effects I could play it under where Tracy You you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you Oh, her, for sure.

Actually, no, I'd guess Sherry.
Definitely Sherry before me.
Definitely. You're sure?
You're sure?
All right, she says Sherry, guys.
Tracy.
Ah.
I missed out on that.
She just swayed you.
Why, Ty? She's just an outgoing, aggressive type girl,
I just think. If she sees what she wants,
she's gonna go get it.
Uh-huh.
Just like I did with my hairstyle.
Sherry.
Who's most likely...
By the way, who's talking in the background?
There's like a bunch of conversation
going on in the background.
Is there another television show being filmed
in the same room?
Prepare a man breakfast in bed. You or Tracy?
Me.
She says it's her, guys.
Sherry.
There you go, Sherry.
You are great.
Very nice.
Wine, milk tea.
The whole show you're doing, like,
boner innuendos and sexual conversation,
and I get the most milk toast questions I've ever heard.
Well, if Sherry brought me breakfast in bed,
I just would never want to stop eating. Sure?
Sure.
Did you hear that guy in the background?
Tracy, who's most likely to hide a video camera in her bedroom?
Me.
Duh.
Why?
Because I'm a porn star.
Because I really think she has one.
What's that? Why? Why? Because I'm a porn star. Because I really think she has one.
Was that?
Because I really believe she has one.
I'm going to go all housey now.
Julia?
If I did, it wouldn't be a secret anymore and then it'd kind of blow it, wouldn't it?
I don't know, would it?
I don't know. would it? I don't know.
I don't know.
God.
For high A or VHSC?
High A.
Come on back, we're going to find out which one of these ladies is the queen of all chictivays.
The queen of what?
All chictivays? I don't know.
Who cares, honestly.
Look at that crowd.
Wow, that's a snop shout of 1991 if I've ever seen one.
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back.
Welcome back to the first in a week-long series on Studs.
All week long, it's Wild Women Week.
Yeah.
What was that?
It was a lion noise because the sound effects back then
didn't work all that well.
It was a lion noise.
A lion noise.
Come on strong there.
You got four hearts.
How many do you have, Tracy?
It's a tie.
We could give away two fabulous ultimate fantasy dates.
Wouldn't that be special?
Ultimate fantasy dates.
Call it in the air, Cheri.
It's...
You're right, so you're gonna start.
You tell them who you want to go with.
If he picks you, you get to go,
and we pay for it automatically.
Okay.
Well, I didn't pick Michelle,
even though it's really tough, all you guys are great.
He's very romantic,
but I just, I didn't pick him.
Okay.
And I didn't pick Ty.
Aww! And I didn't pick Ty because he's ugly. I didn't pick Ty even Okay. And I didn't pick Ty. And I didn't pick Ty because he's ugly.
I didn't pick Ty even though he's such a gentleman and I had a great, great time with him.
But since Miltie gave me the kiss of death, I picked him.
Miltie!
Oh, look at Miltie with that long, silky hair.
Is his name actually Miltie or Milton?
It's Milton.
Okay, they're just calling him Miltie.
Milton Junior, fourth to third or something.
I don't know.
What if Miltie picks you, then what?
I want to go to Costa Rica.
Costa Rica?
You want to go to Costa Rica?
What?
Oh, okay.
Wow, one date and you're already off to Costa Rica?
Sounds pretty cool.
Toes in the sand, cocktail in the hand, you know.
What else could?
You gotta love that.
All right, Tracy, you're tied. You could go too. What's it going to be? Well, who in the hand, you know. What else could... You gotta love that. All right, Tracey, you're tied.
You could go too.
What's it gonna be?
Well, who it's not gonna be...
Why don't you start there?
Well, it's not going to be Melton.
Sorry.
No.
We had a very good time, but he also ripped my favorite pirate shirt.
But wait, I thought you guys ended the date in the morning.
Doing the streets. Doing the streets.
Doing the streets of San Diego.
I mean, what more could you ask for?
He also squeezed your breasts together like a roll of Play-Doh.
I don't know, something about the cookies.
I would just say that makes you look more like a real pirate, Tracey.
Go ahead. And Michelle, I had a wonderful time,
but it seemed, I don't know.
Oh, Ty.
Oh, it's a Ty.
Well, no, One Pit Milton.
Oh, Ty, yeah.
Oh, I thought Ty was certainly gonna be the loser here.
Clicking until later on, but it was almost too later on.
Okay, therefore.
I'm picking Ty.
Ty, all right.
Ty is the silent strong type.
Look at him.
Blame his face.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Disney World or Back to Tides?
Disney World or Back to Tides?
Well, let me tick it.
He has the best cocaine. All right.
Michelle, neither of the guys that had ladies picked you.
And I don't think those guys picked you either, so you're off the hook there.
Did you have a good time?
I had a good time.
I had a great time.
Well, good.
Thanks for coming down.
Would you show us who you picked there?
Sherry.
All right.
Sherry, you picked Milti.
Milti, if you picked Sherry, you could be off on a fabulous trip
to Costa Rica.
I mean, you just decide where you want to go?
Yeah, I guess that's it.
That's what happens.
They just pay for you to go somewhere?
By the way, I love this show now.
Can we?
Oh, no.
I want an all-expense paid trip to all of Europe.
Yeah, no.
Sherry?
Oh, yeah.
All right.
They're going to Costa Rica. Ty, if you pick Tracy, not only are they going to Costa Rica right, they're going to Costa Rica.
Ty, if you pick Tracy, not only are they going to Costa Rica, but you're going to...
He seems pretty excited.
Yeah, he does.
...go to Disney World or back to your place.
What's it going to be?
Going home anyway.
Oh!
Oh!
What a shocker.
He revealed that he picked neither.
He said neither.
Wow.
Okay.
I think he felt like he probably wouldn't get picked and he didn't want to be what a dumb dumb
I didn't see that coming either. I didn't know neither was gonna be a choice
All right, maybe we'll do another Wild Woman Week.
You never know.
That was good, I like that.
All right, I didn't know what to expect there,
but I ended up going,
why, I should've watched more of this as a child.
This is completely mindless television
that I would've enjoyed.
Oh wow, studs!
Now available everywhere
Milk tea's jacket is I know well that was the style back then yet your jacket went below your butt
