The Commercial Break - My AI Voice

Episode Date: January 16, 2026

EP887: Bryan and Krissy have an opportunity to sell their voices to an AI company....but Bryan does it for free! Another solid investment by BG. Also, Richard Grieco is a multi-talented man. We just don't know which talents. Plus, 1980's love rock is on full display! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brian got it wrong. On this episode of the commercial break. They wanted to buy our catalog so they could strip our voices and train their language models on it. And they were willing to pay pretty good money for it. Yeah, why didn't we do that? Well, I had first two reasons. Number one, I thought better about it. Like, if I give it to him now at one price, then I lose all power to over my own catalog

and training, I don't know what the future holds. Maybe we can train our own language models with our own voices, and maybe that's much more money. But also, I'm really dumb about this kind of shit, and now the opportunity is past. Bye hi, Selo. And now I'm just giving it to META for free. So there you go ahead, Meta and take it.

Yeah, just have it. Go ahead. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Haudley. Best to you, Chris.

Back to you, Brian. Best to you out there on the podcast and streaming audience from a very cold Atlanta, Georgia. Jeez. Thursday afternoon. The feels like temperature this morning was 11. We don't do that here in Atlanta. Not very often. We don't do that.

And down all the way down in Florida, it's in the 20s. Wow. Yeah. So there you go. Here we are talking about the weather. yet again. Thanks for joining us on the commercial break. Chatting about the weather is the lowest form of social conversation. And we do it three times a week.

So there you go. Anyway, welcome aboard. How are you? Thank you very much. I appreciate everybody joining. It's been a, it's an interesting time here at the house. Yes, it is. It's never a dull moment. There is never a dull moment. I thought about it when you told me the news. And I was like, oh my God, I was like, they, there's no pee. We get no peace.

Yeah, yeah. No rest for the weary around here. If it's not blue barking her full head off, it's one of the kids vomiting all over the hallway. The car engine exploding. Some dog falling in the pool. My mom breaking a leg. It's all, we take all comers around here. The car, which I just got a brand new engine in, courtesy of the lovely people at the place

where the car is made. We just got a brand new fucking engine in that car. I know. And we haven't even driven it three, four thousand miles. And now there's another check engine light on it. Not the kind of check engine light where like, oh, the gas cap is off. No, this is like stop the car immediately. And so Astrid's on the highway and she calls me, I don't know what to do.

And I'm like, pull over, I guess. I don't know. I don't know. This now I'm fussy. Now I'm fussy. Well, yeah, because you gave. You know, you gave the people some leniency. A month and a half.

They had that fucking car. They were testing and measuring and calling people, and they were in touch with folks across the ocean, and I don't know. And then they go new engine. And I was like, fuck, yeah, new engine. They had 56,000 miles on it. Now it's got an engine. But you don't get credit for the 56.

The odometer has to stay there, which is the worst part about it. Yes. It goes with the chassis of the car, not the engine of the car. And that's a big bummer to me because I thought if I could roll that odometer back to zero. I get rid of that fucking thing right now. Yeah, that's right. I get a truckster. I get a station wagon from 1977 and throw that thing in the trash. I love it, but it's an expensive car. And I don't know what we were thinking. Well, what we were thinking is that the podcast would make a billion dollars forever. That's what

we were thinking. But hey, how now, brown cow? Wasn't meant to be. So now I got to take that car into the shop yet again. And that really frustrates me because we were so long without that car. I mean, they gave us a loaner, and that was the good news. And the loaner was the exact same car, just a couple of years newer. I shouldn't complain. Maybe I say, hey, I'll trade you. Give me the new one.

You take the old one. Let it be your fucking problem. Yeah, exactly. Do an even trade. The dealership absolutely did the right thing. And I can't fault them for that. But it took them a long time to get to the decision of new engine, a long time, like a month to get to that decision. Every three days I'd get a text message. Hey, still working on it.

Still checking it out. Still looking for the problem. And I'm like, don't you guys have computers that just tell you immediately what the problem is? Yeah, but then the computer's not talking. I don't know what the fuck. Chat GPT that shit and give me my car back. Somebody get in there. Who's that guy? Dad lessons. Let's get dad lessons in there, fix that car and be done. That's right. Yes, I have seen dad lessons. Yeah, there's a lot of guys online right now that are jumping on that dad lessons shit. And they're of all makes and varieties. Dad car, you know, dad Venezuela, dad Spanish.

Like, there's a lot of them that are out there. I can appreciate what's going on. Because, you know, I had a dad who was into all that teach you out of. Me too. Yeah. But he taught you exactly once. He used very few words. And if you didn't get it, sorry.

The lessons were never repeated, if that makes sense. Yeah, I would always just be calling him. And I am the kind of guy. who needs the lesson repeated over and over again. Consider myself smart if I stare at it long enough. Like, if I stare at a math problem long enough, I can figure it out. That's my personality. But yeah, so now we've got to take the car back in and I don't even know what to do.

I don't even know what to do anymore. I mean, I guess I just take it in. Just roll with it. I guess. Yeah. What other choice do I have? None. None.

Can't sell it. I'm upside down on it like everybody is on all their cars. Yeah. Welcome to fucking America, 2006. Oh, no. Everyone's upside down and everything. And a fucking bottle of laundry detergent cost $29,000. I know.

Fucking crazy. Yeah, it really is. I saw something that said it was at like 25% from this time last year. New York Times did a breakdown where they took, I think it was 75 items and looked at it from 2018 pre-pandemic to 2026 or 25. Price adjusted, looked at how much they give you and how much. That's the other thing. They're sneaking now is they give you less. A shrinkflation is what they call it, right? It's been going on since the pandemic started. When they did it during the pandemic, it was because they may have legitimately not had enough material to give you.

Yeah. Right? So they put less chips in the bag so they can make more bags of chips and more people can eat chips. But now it's just highway robbery. Yeah. So it's like tied detergent is giving you 17% less for 11% more. price adjusted for inflation. That's what? Yeah. Why? Why are you charging me? Because they can.

It's a 28% swing. We carry the one plus the three. Yeah, that's 28,000 percent more, like Donald Trump would say. People are making $1,000,000 more than they were last year. It's like, does that how math works? I mean, I'm no math genius, but I'm not sure that's how math works. No. But yeah, it's just a terrible mess out.

out there. But then, you know, thank God we have social dads out to teach you how to buy smartly. I guess. I guess. I don't know. I don't know. But I have been on this run putting out Venezuelan content on my personal social media. And there's a- Grain some real traction too. I'm always on their liking it. Yeah. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I think before I started all this, I had 300 followers and now I'm getting close to 25,000 followers, which is still not a lot of followers. But I'm enjoying it. That's fun. I love it because it's like there I was talking to another creator, let's call them, about podcasting. And we've said this so many times on the show. I've said it on stages in front of podcast audiences and fun of other creators. Podcasting is a lonely venture because

you get feedback, but it often comes days later and it doesn't come in a, it's not a faucet, it's a trickle. Even if you have big audience, it's still a very small percentage of your audience that interacts with you. And his name is South Georgia Sean. And Jenny. And, you know, I mean, they are like our hardcore. We'll communicate with you no matter. And there's so many others, too. Vincent and all these other people, I'm naming people who are often communicating with us, especially by the phone. But we don't get instant feedback here. You don't get instant feedback on social media, but you get pretty quick feedback. You do. Right? People leave comments. They DM you. And so that's an interesting and refreshing change. It's like, I'd love to be a.

a stand-up comedian, but I have no time. First of all, I'm not sure I would be any good at it. Second of all, I don't have any time for it. Third of all, I would never be able to do all the traveling that is required to be a stand-up comedian. But one thing that I think is interesting about stand-up comedy, and we've talked to a lot of our guests about, is that instantaneous feedback that you're getting from the audience. Yeah, the live audience. Yeah, so you can kind of, like, you know, snake your way through something. It's like, if you weren't here, I'm not sure I would ever know what's funny. Right. I might think it's funny, but it might be landing. So you're like my one bell weather. Yeah, you are the barometer. And that's important.

I feel like it's really important, actually. I can't, I wouldn't, I couldn't think about doing a comedy show without you in the room. But at the same time, there's still no other feedback except for yours, right? And you don't have any feedback except for mine. So it's like, okay, what the fuck do we do? But so this, on social media, it's been interesting. It's been kind of a refreshing change of pace. And I get to go in. I get to do the videos. I get to do them until I feel like they're good. And then I put them out there. And you get almost an instantaneous response. It's like it's either good or it's not. It flies or it fails. It just you figure it out real quick. But one of the things that Instagram has been encouraging their creators to do, including me,

is to use their translation services. Oh, right. That means they will clone your voice and they will make your videos. They will dub your videos into another language. Now, it asks you which language. What about dubbing blues bark? Oh my God. That dog. Into a silent language. Sign language. When Noemmy is here? Sign language. Just a sign language. Yes. Dub it, blues bark into sign language. I would love to dub it into silence. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Silence. Yes. Every time she barks, it's just, that's just nothing. Every time Noemi is here, which is Tuesdays and Thursdays when we're one o'clock, when we're doing our lives, every time she is here, blue goes extra crazy because she loves Noami. And no Emmy, she just follows Noemi around. She's not following me around. Now she has no Emmy to follow around to park at. Anyway, so this translation service, it dubs it into languages. And I asked it. So after a couple of months, I was like, okay, I can see the benefit of this because a lot of the people who follow me are Venezuelan. They probably speak Spanish as their primary language. And they may not understand some of the, even though the subtitles are corrected for language,

I could see the benefit of having my audio there, right? So I put out a reel yesterday. It got translated. And I woke up this morning. You have to approve the translations. It got translated into 12 different languages. Wow. Even though I only asked it to do Spanish, it got translated into 12 different languages.

This is my voice. I'm going to let you listen. I can't wait for those. What are the languages? Okay, I don't even know. To be honest with you, I don't even know what these languages are. Let me see if I can. Okay, view translations.

Bangladesh, ready? You ready for this? This is, here's my voice. That's English. That's my voice. If you need a place. If you need a place, if you're not going to be. If you're thakka-jai-go-provision-h.

There you'll have to ask for it. Here's Kondahar. But is that your voice? It's my voice clone. Okay. Here is Maharasnehita, Sangata, here is Maharashi or Mahatari. As I've Venezuela,

as much as much as it. And my one's a siddhance. I sound very smart there. You do. That's very interesting. Okay, Spanish. You know what is to be in money or solo. Asustado or peridio.

I guess they give you the, they give your voice the actual accent. They're giving, they give you the accent, but it sounds like me. Yeah. Just doing an accent. Here's Tamali. Tamali. Tamali. Tamali.

I don't even know what I'm like, where do people speak that language? Sounds like India's, I thinkerra, Kornahua'an may I feel like that could put me to feel like India somewhere, right? They speak like 38 different languages there, I think. Kut, kut, kut, kut, kut. I feel like that could put me to sleep. Like, I could go to sleep to my own voice in a different language.

That's very interesting. Very interesting. I think I sound smart. I'm going to tell people I speak, though. language is now. Yeah. All 12. But I only communicate with you on Instagram after a couple of hours, because I need the translation time. That's it takes hours for it to be translated. But they say that then you reach a wider audience. And that does theoretically make sense. I don't know if that's actually true, but theoretically I could see how that could make sense. But it's very interesting

that meta can just take your voice, clone it, put it into a different language, and it sounds pretty cool, I think. But, you know, people are going to say you're just giving meda. meta your voice. I am just giving meta my voice, but let's be real about it. We have a podcast with over a thousand, with over 1,200 hours of content out on a public RSS feed. If you don't think meta's already got my voice, that's, that's foolish. We're already being right on. Yeah, our sense of privacy and any of that's gone. Just gone. Yeah. Just gone. We actually got approached by some of these companies a couple of, maybe like a year ago, two years ago. Yeah, the AI. Yeah, they wanted to buy our catalog.

And they wanted to buy our catalog so they could strip our voices and train their language models on it. And they were willing to pay pretty good money for it. Yeah, why didn't we do that? Well, I had first two reasons. Number one, I thought better about it. Like, if I give it to him now at one price, then I lose all power to over my own catalog and training any other language model.

I don't know what the future holds. Yeah. Maybe we can train our own language. models with our own voices, and maybe that's much more money. But also, I'm really dumb about this kind of shit. And now the opportunity is passed. Buy hi, Salo. And now I'm just giving it to Mehta for free. So there you go. Go ahead. Meta take it. Yeah, just have it. Go ahead. Feel free. But I've noticed a lot of people, a lot of creators on Instagram are doing this translation. A lot of them are doing the translation. How do you know? Because you can see it.

It says translate this reel on the bottom. Okay, okay. It says C translations, right? And then you can also, if you are a Spanish speaker, Instagram puts your account in Español, and then it knows that you want to be served content, mainly in Spanish. Yes. And then it'll also, when you look at a reel from, say, me, and I only speak English on my videos. When you look, because my Spanish, if I had to do videos in Spanish, I'd still have 300 followers.

I was going to say you lose your people. Yeah. But when you look at the subtitles, they're automatically translated into the language of your preference, the one that your account is in. So now, when somebody sees my reels and they have a Spanish account, an account in Spanish, they will only hear my translations in Spanish. You can also do AI video and make your lips fit the translations. But I thought that was a bridge two-fold. Wow. I thought to myself, I thought better of that.

I was like, no, that's just going to freak people out. Because it never looks right. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't. I know. Though the AI is getting really fucking good, it never looks right. It never, ever does. And AI is often wrong, as Chrissy and I were just talking about.

I watched a video for seven minutes this morning, a seven minute Instagram video. Wow. About a guy trying to. Got your attention for that long. Got my attention. Got hundreds of thousands of other people's attention, too. a guy trying to convince his chat gpt that strawberry had three rs in it and not two hours in it and when chat gpt was responding to him like it was a voice responding to him he had on a voice

service like we've done here before it was also translating what it was saying onto the screen and it was spelling strawberry with three rs but it was saying that strawberry only had two hours in it the guy kept going but when you put it into the when you're writing it it down, it's got three R's. And it would be like, oh, I see where you're having some confusion. Your brain just wants to put extra emphasis on that second R. But nope, it's still only got two R's. It was like maddening.

Yeah, you have to check it. Yes, it was. You do have to check it. So, okay, wait, I don't know what's happening. What did happen? Everybody went away at the same time, I think. Well, I don't know. We're doing this stream now, and sometimes, you know, sometimes it gets

Fussy. And, okay, it seems to still be streaming. Okay. So it's just like maddening that chat GPT can be the smartest thing in the world and still not be really still not be 100% accurate. You would think after reading. It'll get that. It'll get there. It'll get there. I guess. I think. I don't know. I personally think that a lot of the AI stuff is a bubble. And of all the wonderful things that have come of AI, chat GPT is still the best thing that we got out of AI. And Chad GPT is essentially a really smart search engine is what

it is. Yeah, that's true. It's like my little assistant. Yeah. It hasn't cured cancer, although I do understand that some medical advancements have happened because of AI. My doctor's appointments aren't any quicker. I don't find that it's less frustrating to call customer service. I still, I can get answers to simple everyday questions, but I could get those from Google if I knew how to Google anyway. So while I love chat GPT, I do, I love it. I love the ability to go in there and get a really thorough answer and have it help me do things like understand analytics

and all this other stuff. I still think, you know, there are trillions of dollars tied up in AI in the economy. And what have we got? It doesn't really tell you like, no, that's not a good idea, right? Never. Yeah. And that's kind of weird, scary.

I don't want to get into all the depressing stories, but there is a guy right now who's got a lawsuit that has now passed like the third phase of like lawsuit them. I don't even know what it is. It's not a tort. He can go ahead with it. That he was convinced that a mathematical problem he had come up with and then solved. In other words, he came up with a mathematical problem. You know, like two plus 2.2 equals B minus farts, right? Equals, you know, smelly onions. And he came up with a problem. He solved it. himself and then Chad GPT convinced him for seven months that he had solved the keys to life and told him that he could not stop until he let until people knew that he had done this like he need another words it gave him a god complex yeah yeah and he was already subject to mental health issues like depression and stuff and he went into a real pit a real hole and lost friends lost family, lost his job, lost, you know, cars, lost whatever, all this shit. And it was very problematic for him. So now he has sued OpenAI. And apparently it's moving through the court system. They are allowing the lawsuit to go ahead. And I don't think this is the

last lawsuit like that we're going to see. I was going to say, I mean, it's only going to, it's bound to happen more and more with, you know, yes, that's a great idea. Keep doing, keep going that way in that direction. Yeah. And you shouldn't be. Let me give you an example. So, you know, I'm a big analytics guy. Like, I like to look at our podcast analytics. I like to look at the social media analytics. I like to try and infer stuff. But my brain only works, you know, you've, you've listened to the show, you know. My brain only works so well. I'm not particularly smart. So I feed, start feeding these stats to chat GPT. And I said, you are the algorithm. Now you're the algorithm. So in other words, you're an algorithm. I want you now to be the social media algorithm. And tell me what these stats mean. about this post and that post. And let's get good at understanding what all of this information means. Now it's all pretty straightforward information.

And hopefully predicting what you should do. So then I do a video and I can feed it to chat and say, is this similar to other social media posts that have done well? So, you know, it's just me trying to get smart about, you know, like putting out content. I mean, for six years, we put out videos on our social media, and got nobody to pay attention.

Not one person. Like, we had 185 followers for the first three years of this podcast. And only now are we above 10,000. And that's because, you know, we're just getting a little smarter about, well, you can't have three-minute monologues on a social media video. And we're going to start doing more. Yeah. And we'll do stuff that just for, like, we're on Instagram right now, streaming on Instagram.

So I feeded this information. And then it wants to tell me that I'm the greatest creator. that ever lived. And I know that's not true. Like, I know it's not true. But it's like, you have passed the ultimate algorithm test. You're doing everything right. You're acting like a 2 million follower account, not a 2,000 follower account.

You have huge testicles. Right. Everybody loves you. You are little, you could run for president of Venezuela. It's like, I know, I want to believe you. I really do because I love. when people blow smoke up my ass. I'm not, I'm not inhuman. But I also understand, you're just made to do that. Yeah. And that that is not true. Well, there's different styles,

right, too. You can put different settings. But that still, and I, because I chose a style when it asked me the last time, and I was like, don't blow smoke. Like, just make it straight up, facts. But even still, the straight up facts are the, yes, you're doing this so well. You're doing it great. Yeah. You're in the right direction. You're doing this exactly like I would do it in And so now, because I am always treating it with a dose of skepticism, right? I'll go, you know, well, I understand that's not particularly true. I just want the facts on why this watch time is good and why that watch time is bad. And so now anytime I feed it anything, it thinks that I'm just like some depressed loser in the corner and it's trying to pump me up.

It'll be like, let's not get sad about this. Let's read this like an actual adult human being. And I'm like, fuck you. I also gave it high sarcasm. So I guess that's partly my fault. Yeah. Oh, you did do the high sarcasm. Well, when I was, when I'm working with it with the commercial break, I said, you know, take on the tone of the commercial break.

Because, you know, let's get together on this one, right? Let's be, if I'm going to talk. I want to talk to myself, essentially. Yeah. And so it's taking on my personality and fuck me. I mean, I'm just an asshole, I guess. I don't know. That's how it is.

What I've started doing, too, is asking. And this is so basic, but, you know, we haven't used a DVD player in so long. But the other day, we wanted to watch a movie. I knew we had it on the DVD. I didn't want to buy it because I knew we had it. And I'm like, let's whip out the DVD player. Well, of course, 45 minutes later, we're like, why doesn't this work? What's happening?

So, yesterday, I was like, so I started asking it, like, tell me. So I gave it the model number and everything. I just said, tell me what you know about this. Do you, are you familiar with this brand and model? Yes. That's me. It's actually running the whole system right now. I'm built.

The Panasonic TV player from 2008. And a Blu-ray. There's one eye in strawberry. So what did it do? So I feel like that's a little bit more helpful too. Are you familiar of this? Tell me a little bit about it. And then it kind of launches into that.

I don't know. I'm trying to, you know, you're trying to have different little ways to communicate with it. Because, yeah, I would like for it to be more. one time to be like, you're going in the wrong direction. Do not do that. That's what I wanted to tell me. I know. I wanted to say, you have less than 50,000 followers. You are nobody. No one's paying attention to you. I mean, congratulations on a few hits. But, you know, Richard Greco also had a couple of musical hits, too.

He didn't turn out so hot. Richard Greco. I posted a, I reposted a reel I found Richard Greco's hit. Do you remember Richard Greco? I remember the name. I can't remember what he said. Oh, he ended up being like an actor and movies and like he just, he ended up like glomming on to this one hit he had. I think he took over Johnny Depp's role in 21 Jump Street.

If I'm not mistaken. Yes. If I'm not mistaken. You were on a 21 Jump Street kick. Oh, my God. Back during the pandemic. Yeah. I would come in to the studio.

24 hours a day, all 21 Jump Street content. For the first two years of the show, I would edit the show, but I didn't know how to edit. So I'd be in the studio for hours. This is when we had one episode a week. And one child. I'd be in the studio. I set up a TV, and I found that Pluto would run 24-hour nonstop 21 jump streets in order. I must have watched it 10 times.

That and what was I watching? The Hills? Oh, the Hills. That's right. Or not the hills, the other one. The one that preceded that. Laguna Beach. Yeah.

I'm watching teenagers. And their little love dramas. I'm watching boys run around in their board shorts. Going, oh, Elsie doesn't love you, bro. What are you going to do? You're 16. And Rich, what do you need in life? All right, here we go.

Headed for another two-hour show here at the commercial break. God, I know. Where does the time go? I don't know. I guess when we're staring at ourselves, it feels a lot. We always were before. Were we? Oh, yeah, we were. Oh, I don't know. I guess when the thought of that somebody might jump in and watch us at some point makes us happy. A little bit longer. If we just go another hour, somebody's going to figure it out.

So instead of, now we've cut down to two days away, but we're going to go two hours. Yeah, that's right. We got it in us. I have a feeling we're going to be doing more than two episodes a week. It's just a gut feeling I have. Here I am. I'm so burnt out. I got to pull back.

I want more. What am I doing with my life? I think we've been so conditioned to do six hours of content a week that now we're doing two. We feel like we're being restrained in some way. We've been conditioned. We're marathon runners and we're doing sprints now and that doesn't feel good. So I think you, the audience is going to be the benefactor, depending on who you are, of additional content. All right, let's take a break.

30 minutes in. We'll take a break and we'll be back. Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB. It's pretty simple. Astrid asked me to shut Brian up, even for a minute. Well, lovely Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid too? You know you do.

Leave a message for her, or me or Chrissy, at 2. 212 4333-3-3-T-B. That's 2-1-433-3822. You can be on the show too. Mm-hmm. Just call and say something. Anything. Or text us and we'll text you're right back.

Promise. Then head over to TCB Podcast.com and get your free sticker. It's your constitutional right to a sticker, and we must abide. You get the point. Follow us on Instagram at the commercial break. And watch all the episodes on video at YouTube.com slash the commercial break. best to you and Astrid, especially Astrid. Let me wait a few minutes until Blue decides to get all the barks out.

Yeah, Richard Greco did do a couple songs, but I was wrong about, I posted something. I thought it was Richard Greco, but it wasn't hot in the city. Theme from Booker. Wait, so what you posted was wrong? Yeah, what I posted was wrong. But go figure. Brian got it wrong. Brian got it wrong. Brian got it wrong again.

Where is that? Yeah. I got to get back to making music. Yeah, I know. I was just thinking those were the early days of us dipping our toe. Well, I made another one last week for one. Let's see what else we got in here. Best to you.

Oh. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. I love it. I love it. I think it's great. What else do we have in here?

I've been put it in the work. That's like a motley, true. Oh, yeah, that's what I gave it. Is this a Frankie? Yeah. That's a good one. That's a good one. Let's see.

You do like a heartfelt one that's like acoustic or something. I do like that. Yeah, that's... I took the reviews. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Oh, that's the best. That one was great. That was one of the first one. Yeah, I just fed it a bunch of bad reviews that we got. It came up with that. That's great. You know, I actually logged into that the Udio, the Udio Studio that I used to create AI music. And yes, I create AI music because I don't have a band here to do that for me. And it's very expensive to get musicians to do this. And it's expensive to use UDiO. Studio Studio too, but also, you know, I have my reasoning. So hate me if you want to, but whatever. I'm just using it on the show.

So I could log into Udoo Studio. I hate me if you want to. Apparently some of you do. So I log into Udio Studio and I try and I make a song and I try and download it. And it said downloads are not longer available. In conjunction with ASCAP, we have, we are changing our platform altogether. Soon you'll be. be able to take your favorite musicians and their songs and recreate them in your own voice. Wow. So now these AI music platforms have now been cornered by the music industry, is how I understood this. Yeah. And they are getting sued left and right. And rather than, you know, if you can't beat them, join them, I guess is the way to put it.

So they are now going to feed all of these millions of songs that ASCAP has rights to, which is the big music rights owner. and the publishing house. And what they're going to do, I think, is then you're going to be able to say, give me a month, give me, you know, Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crew, but use these lyrics in his voice. And so you're going to be able to do that soon. And that's less interesting to me, but I guess kind of, it'd be cool if we could take songs that we knew and, you know, make our lyrics, I guess. But then I'm paying the musicians.

So at least I'm paying the musicians. So you can hate me a little bit less. I feel like you coming up with your own. They'll let you make the song, but I have. to dub it. I can't download it. I have to play it through a loop, essentially, and record. That's how I made the song the other day. Yeah, Richard Greco had a song.

Let's see. What was he in? He was an actor, too, right? He was. What was he in? Oh, you said he was the 21 Jump Street replacement. He was in 21 Jump Street. Let's see. Richard Greco. We'll do a little breakdown on Richard Grecoe here. Because that's what... Because that's what everyone came in

for... Oh, the unofficial website. The unofficial website for Richard Greco. Where's the official website? He doesn't even have a Wikipedia? That's weird. Huh. You would think Richard Greco would have a Wikipedia. What else do I know him from, though? There's something... Oh, no, here's his Wikipedia. He's done a bunch of stuff. Okay, career. Ready? Richard Greco worked for as a model for Amani, Calvin Klein, and Chanel. One of his first roles was Rick Gardner on One Life to Live. He did that from 87 to 88. He was then Detective Dennis Booker, Detective Dennis Booker on 21 Jump Street. Okay. And he did a spin-off of 21 Jump Street.

I remember this. It was on for like four episodes. It was called Booker. And so that went on in 91. He then starred if Licks Could Kill in 1991. He was in the film Mobsters as Bugsy Seagull. When you think of great mob movies, don't forget. Mobsters?

Mobsters. I couldn't even remember the name. And Richard Grieco as Bugsie Siegel. Bugsie Siegel. He also played himself in A Night at the Roxbury. I do remember that. Okay. And he's been in an episode or two of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

He sang a song, Waiting for the Sky to Fall. Waiting for the Sky to Fall. Maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Is that waiting for the sky to fall? Telling my heart is in your arms. That's where you belong in my heart. I don't think that. Is that Richard Greco? Is that? Because that's not a bad movie. It's not a good one, but it's not a bad song. You know what I'm saying?

Richard Greco waiting for the sky at a phone. That can't be it. Is that a hit? No, that was a huge hit, wasn't it? It was. Okay, let's see. I just remembered the words to it. Of course it's got fucking ads on YouTube. I stopped paying for premium because I was like, fuck premium. And now I want to get premium again. I'm not having Now I want to pay They get you coming or going It's 17 ads on every fucking YouTube video It's unbelievable And I'm getting $0 from it

You know what I'm saying? We're on the monetization program over there We've made a total of like $600 Okay, wait No, that's not it Oh God, yeah No, that's definitely not it That's not it

What is waiting for it? Waiting for a Star to fall. That was it. Let's go to Spotify here, even though I equally hate Spotify, but... They're getting ready to jack their price, too. Yeah, they're scurring everybody left and right. Waiting for a Star to Fall was by a band name Boy Meets Girl. Oh. More keyboard.

That's what I was thinking of. That must have been on the radio, like, a lot, because I remembered the words. Oh, yeah. Oh, it was a huge hit back in the 80s. Ooh, the saxophone. You had to have a saxophone. You always have to have saxophone. Okay, let's get to the good part. Hold on.

I do remember this song, yes. It's a trash, baby. And love you from this far. Banana. Huge it. Your mom loved it. Not Richard Greco, though. Not Richard Greco.

Greco? Greco. Greco. Greco. Greg. Hey, brother. Some people in the chat. Hey, how are you?

He says he caught a TCB live. Yeah, we do it at the most convenient time for everybody. One o'clock in the afternoon. Directly after your lunch break, four hours before you get off work. Congratulations to you. But it's good to have you. He says he loves to jamming out. I like to do a music episode every once in a while.

We do. I like to break copyright laws whenever I can. This episode, D.C. monetized by Brian. Congratulations. Boy Meets Girl is sending us a cease and desist right now. That was a huge hit, though. I remember.

Big. You know what was big back in when I was growing up was soft rock, light rock, right? They would call it Light Rock FM. They had a station here in Atlanta called B98.5. Oh, yeah. My mom listened to that. Which was the most popular station by a mile. I mean, the talk station 750 a.m.

Then B98.95, owned by the same people. It was playing in every office. Every office, every mall, every car, everywhere. They had the most popular morning show. And it was like dumb shit. I mean, we're talking like not morning zoo crew, but good morning, 805, a sunny afternoon in Atlanta, Georgia, expected later on today. No clouds. Lots of sun.

Here's boy meets girl waiting for a star to fall. Are you waiting for a star to fall? We'll catch you on the flip side. Like the dumbest, lamest stuff. and it was non-offensive, and every mother in Atlanta loved it. Oh, yeah. Every mother in Atlanta loved it. And my mom was no exception.

Me too. So it was just dumb love rock the entire morning on the way, the two-hour drive to school and the two-hour drive back because we lived so fucking far away from our school. And that song played six times an hour for at one point. It was a heavy rotation. Heavy rotation. Now I'm recalling a time being at a pool as a kid, like a neighborhood pool, and that song coming on. and like my mom like oh Brian great pool music my mom knew I was like music party well yeah exactly when you get your friends together at 13 what you want is boy meets girl the smash 1989 sensation meanwhile dog next door was listening to metallic on guns and roses master of puppets and Brian's list wait for a star to fall my

mom knew I was kind of musically, I wouldn't just call it inclined. Let's not go that far, but musically interested, you know, like, you know, like, you, you're gravitated. Flirting with gay. You know what I'm saying? So she would pump in all this stuff she thought would be good for me to know. Meanwhile, my dad had an excellent taste in music. He's like, listening to The Doors and Beethoven's 9th and all of this great music, like this wide variety of music, but I spent less time with him in the car listening to music. So my mom would listen to B98.5 and then she got the Phantom of the Opera CD, the original cast. Yes. You've recounted your time with the Phantom of the Opera. Feeling lovely. Didn't you did it date get in the car or

something and they're playing? Yes. Yes. This was not and this was not when I was a child. I got on a kick. I'm sorry. I did. I was like, I was living over, you know, in the Howell Mill area. Oh, yeah, yeah. I had that old beat up car with no headlight. Wanted light. And my mom, we, my mom moved. And when she moved, I found the Phantom of the Opera CD. And so she didn't have a CD player. So I threw all of her CDs in the car because my car had a CD player, you know, state of the art, had a CD player. my mom had a CD player and I put Phantom of the opera in there and it got stuck in the CD player

and so every time I would start the car for a period of time this is what would play are you ready I'm going to let you listen to and I went on a date with someone that I thought was pretty hot like I think this is one of those one of the three Tinder dates that I went on

that all ended with the police showing up to get people out of trees Here's what I swear to God, Chrissy. This is what played every time I started the car. Let's see. Where is it? Were you blasting it as you were rolling into the Clear Channel, do you? No, I had left Clear Channel at this point, I think.

Was this before? No, I left Clear Channel at this point. Ready? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It just plays for like six or seven minutes. And then if I hit it the right way, it'll stop. I can't control the volume. You couldn't control anything about it? Chrissy, I could not press stop. I could not press stop.

Why do I not remember this family? Because I quickly took it to the best buy and got a problem to solve. Okay. This happened for a period of time. And then I was like, this is maddening. I could turn it off and I could turn it on. but the car would turn on and the radio would turn on automatically. And so it would just start playing the shit. And I did not impress this girl. But to be fair, I had to get her out of a tree later on. Yeah.

It's a good thing. That's great. Congratulations to me, Brian Green. I was smooth with the ladies. I was listening to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. They're together again, right? They are. They're writing movies again, I think, is the word on the street.

and I heard them on just briefly on Howard Stern. I don't listen to Stern. I don't listen to Stern. Stern, by the way, signed a new contract. He signed a new three-year contract. If you remember, we were following that drama loosely for a minute there as he was going and staying and coming and going. He signed a new contract, which indicates to me that there are not 20,000 people listening to him in the morning. Like some people were saying, oh, he's going from 20 million to 20,000 people listening every morning.

They don't pay somebody $100 million a year for 20,000 people. He's so ingrained. He is. He is serious radio. Yeah. And listen, maybe he doesn't have the audience he used to because he didn't like, you know, cuck some politicians like other people have. But, but. He's still up there. Yeah. Like on a side note there, I've noticed some of those podcasters are not so cucky anymore about the Trump administration. Now that ICE has turned into the fucking Gestapo. It's insane. It's really crazy. It's insane. I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat. You cannot agree with this. And apparently nobody. does. They did a poll, like, only 16% of Americans are supportive of ICE's actions. Yeah, it's really bad. It's insane. I can't believe what's going on in Minneapolis. And thank God I don't live there because I would be moving immediately. But anyway, okay, so I'm listening to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. And they were sharing, like, hey, Howard asked, hey, do you guys, were you guys, like, good with the ladies when you were young? And if you didn't know, Matt Damon went to

Harvard. Did you know this? That's right. He went to Harvard. Like, they accepted a certain amount of locals from the local high schools that they do every year. They, like, dedicate some slots to local students and give them, you know, some form of tuition. He was one of those people. And so the movie that they wrote, Goodwill Hunting, is loosely based, loosely based on their experiences in and around Harvard, right? So Matt went there, didn't finish schooling. I didn't know that. He was like 12 credits short of a degree. But he was asking, hey, were you good with the ladies? And they were like, no, we were not. He's like, until they gave that speech at the Oscars when they won for Goodwill Hunting, he said, the weird thing was, the movie was so popular. I was in, Ben Affleck was in

Titanic. He had been in chasing Amy long before Goodwill Hunting came out. What did Ben Affleck play in Titanic? Someone who died on Titanic. He immediately doesn't come to, I can't immediately picture him in Titanic, but okay. He said he was in Titanic. That's what he said. I don't remember him either. But maybe, maybe. Maybe. Maybe that's like a bit of movie trivia. But he said he was playing like these bit parts. Sure. Right. And then he said, we, we, I was terrible. No girl wanted to pay attention to me until I became like a sex symbol. Right. Because of the Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Oscars speech that he gave. He said, overnight. I became world famous. They were good-looking guys before that, too, so I don't know.

Listen, if you got to pick two guys to have sex with, why not Matt Damon and Ben Afflix? You know what I'm saying? I just got into an elevator with Matt Damon. What? Yeah, a couple of years ago, we were out visiting, yes, out visiting our daughter out in Colorado. How did I know this? I told it to you. Oh, okay.

Well, I'm forgetful. Wait, you got into it. Over the thousands of hours of content. Yeah, that's true. You got into an elevator with Matt Damon. Yes, we were like, that's my, Matt Damon. He was there with his daughter visiting. checking out the schools.

And you were too? At Boulder. No shit. No. Oh, she was already there. She was graduating. She was graduating. So that's what we were there for.

But we'd go from the, he was coming from the, from the, you know, from the lobby into the, into the elevator. Said right next to him. He was so nice. And so was the daughter. Did you guys talk? I mean, elevator talk. I think somebody made a funny joke. I corner him.

You want to come on the podcast? We have over seven people streaming us at any given. Yes. Look at our audience. Hey, listen, I'm appreciative of anybody. And we're not telling anybody we're going live right now. So how would they know? True. And I didn't know that.

That's pretty cool. Yeah, that is awesome. Is that the most famous person you've ever met? Oh, God. I don't know. I don't have to think about it. I met a lot of music people through Jeff's work. We've met a lot of people here.

We have. But, like, super bonbon, bond famous. Like, I don't know, we had that, we had that Latino. music guy on that one time. Oh, God, the bad bunny producer. Yeah, the bad bunny producer. I just read something or heard something about him the other day. Hey, everybody.

Everybody's in the chat right now. Yeah, they felt bad for us because we said we didn't have anybody listening. They were like, I'm here. Oh, good. It's, hey, Matt Damon is here. It says, I'm Matt Damon. Hey, Matt. What's up?

Come on the show, buddy. The elevator encounter. Yeah, Chrissy wants to know if you remember the elevator encounter, because I'm sure you do. Boulder, Colorado. A Boulder, Colorado, two years ago. She probably has it on his calendar. He does an anniversary every year. He says the year that I met that one chick in the elevator.

He would remember because he would be visited for his daughter. That I think he would remember. Yeah, but actual every elevator. I was the girl in the elevator. Yeah, I know. For 10 seconds that we rode together. That's right. I have to imagine that when you're that famous, these kind of interactions go in and out of your head like water.

Yeah, you don't remember anybody. Like you just don't. And I bet you tell it with like some really loony tunes. people too. We were at a really nice hotel. So that's, I think, there was a decorum that was there. So no, I did not corner him. Okay. I would have, but that's just me. Let's think about it. Who's the most famous person we've had on the show? Who's the most famous person you've ever met? You can jump in in the chat, too. Who's the most famous person you've ever met? Let's see. Okay. All right, let's take a break. We're an hour into the show. We're only on the second break. This is going to be an hour and a half long show. We're not doing the 12 hours of TCB. Let's get on with it. What are we doing?

I don't even think I can put that many ads in the show. I don't think we have that many ads. All right, we'll be back. Hey, it's Rachel, your new voice of God here on TCB.

while you check out our sponsors. And then we'll return to this episode of the commercial break. Okay, I think Nikki Jam might be the most. That's who it was. Famous person we've ever had in the show is Nikki Jam.

Although I didn't know who he was until he booked him. Listen, like, fair is fair. I had no idea. Maybe I'd heard his name once or twice. Maybe. But only because of my brother. other in-laws because they were into some regga tone music and they knew the history of Nikki Jam,

who is like, when I say world famous, world famous, like 500 million collective followers on social media. We even got breaking news on that. We did. They wouldn't let us put it out. Those you don't know the story, we had Nikki. So Nikki Jam was on a, like, our booking agent sent us a list of people. Hey, if you want any of these people, let us know and we'll approach them.

This is before we started taking artists on the show, started taking interviews on the show. And we were going through the list, and Gustavo happened to be here, and Nikki Jam's name was on it. And he said, holy shit, Nikki Jam. Like, dude, you got to interview Nikki Jam. He's like, one of the most famous musicians ever.

And I'm like, who? Like, Nikki Jam? And look at his social media. And I'm like, oh, the guy's no joke. Like, he's got so many fucking followers. So we put him on a list, right? Months and months and months and months go by. And then we get a, we hear.

And we're plenty of other people have now. come on the show and we hear, you know, we say, hey, can you talk to Nikki Jam? It's even, it's very amazing that he confirmed with us. Well, listen, so he, we approach him. They say, we'll get back to you. And then they eventually say no. Then three months later, Nikki Jam's agent reaches out directly to me and says Nikki would like to come on the show.

And I was like, what the fuck? Really? So we get all excited about this, right? And then. Oh, it was a big. It was a big deal. A big deal in this house, yes. And so we get on with him, and he, a little rough start, you know, the plane kind of shook

when it took off, but we eventually got into a groove with Nikki. We did. He was late. We only had a certain amount of time. We felt rushed. But then he got comfortable with us, and he goes. He was spilling the beans to us. He had just announced he retired.

Mm-hmm. Right? Just announced this. Like two months earlier. He was retiring for music, no more music. After this new album, he was done. No more touring, no more nothing. And then he says on our show, I'll give you a bit of breaking news.

I haven't told anybody this. I'm actually not retiring. I'm going to do a tour. I'm going to do more music. I'm going to do a tour. I was in a bad place. I said those things, but I'm announcing it. And so the second that we get off air, I run out.

We call our video editors, cut it up, put it out, clip right now. Like, do not delay. In the next 10 minutes, we've got to have this out. This is breaking news. It's the only time in commercial break history that we will have ever been mentioned in the same breath as new. So let's do this. Yes, we're not two weeks late.

Yes, we're not eight weeks late. Somebody doesn't say something that's completely irrelevant by the time we put it out 30 days later. But we're not doing 30 episodes a week where the episode recorded on Monday comes out in 2029. So it's like, okay. You heard it here last. Okay. You heard it here last. That's where it all came from.

So, and I think it came from Nikki Jam, actually. I'm in the middle of, you know, we're in the middle of this big scramble to call a PR age, all this other stuff, and we get an email. And it's from his agent. Hey, sorry, but Nikki said some things on the show that we can't discuss right now. So if you could, could you please hold that interview for the next two months? Well, what are we going to say? No. I mean, I guess we could have said no.

But then we would have gotten into a fight, and that just wasn't going to be cool. And I don't want to do that to Nikki. And so, okay. three days later. I'm laying in bed. Oh, with it on Good Morning America? And I'm watching Good Morning America. And here comes Nikki Jam to do like the morning performance or whatever.

And he's jamming out, da-da-da-da-da. Song gets over and I'm like, oh, he did a good job. And the interviewer comes up and he's like, so, I hear you have a bit of breaking news for us. And he's like, that's right. I'm not retiring. And I'm like, fuck. Fuck. Fuck-a-fuck.

So not only did Nikki tell us to hold it for 60 days, but then he wants to be. wanted to let everyone else in the entertainment industry talk about it before we could even say it. To be fair, I would have done the exact same thing. Now we had a good interview with him. That was fun. He was great. Steve-O, yes. Someone has said Stevo. Stevo would have been the second most famous person. Steve-O, the most famous American we have had on by a mile, by a mile. Margaret Cho, we had on. Tom Papa's pretty famous himself. He's done a lot. We had Larry the Cable Guy. I know you're going to laugh at that one, but he's pretty fucking famous. He is. He was. He's, well, he's the voice of Mater.

I mean, you know, how many hundreds of millions of people have seen cars and loved cars? Larry the Cable Guy. Who else? Who else have we had on? Audience remind me, because I don't remember. But I, but I. But I think the most famous person that I've ever met that I would consider the most famous person that I ever met would have been Eddie Vedder, probably. Yeah.

Yeah. Because, I mean, who doesn't know Eddie Vedder? I mean, I hung out with Flav or Flave. Flav of Flav! Flav! Yeah. Oh, that's not it. What is that?

I have no idea. Yeah, boy. That's the Flavor Flavs version. Chuck D and Flavor Flavent. Yeah. That's the Bryant version. That's the white boy version. 5.30.

With a clock. You can do the clock around your neck with 530. 530. Yeah, boy. Yeah, somebody in the chat is saying that Larry the cable guy was on local Florida radio.

He was. That's how he got famous. That's how he started doing his shit. I mean, I remember in the what 90s? Was that the 90s? He was part of that Foxworth? the crew, wasn't he? Yeah, the regular guy, not the regular guys, but the, whatever they call that.

Yeah, the good old boy sent him around. I don't know. Yeah. The good old boy. Yeah, dreadnecks. I don't know, but that was immensely popular, immensely popular. Oh, God, back in the day. It was all over the place.

It was all over the place. And I loved him. He was so good. He had a movie, too, right? Yeah, he did. He had a Larry the Cable Guy movie. I don't think he'd smash any box office workers. Stick with cars, but he could not have been more nice.

And then we're about to get off. We get off. The interview. And he says, hey, man, hold on. I want to do something for you because I had explained to him that my children were huge cars fans, which kids are not. It is a great show. Great movie. Great, great movies.

Franchise. Now they did another 212 episodes or something of like Mator Tales. And so, yeah, he did another like, 220, major episodes for Disney Jr. But anyway, so we get off the interview and he says, hey, man, hold on. I want to do something for you. He's like, just be quiet for a second. What are your kids' names? It writes them down.

And then he does a greeting. And not like a, hey, it's Mater, you know, ba, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, have a good day. He did a whole thing. A whole shit. Oh, that's really nice. And I let my kids listen to it. And it brought him the biggest smile. It really did.

They couldn't believe it. They were like, that's Mater? Is Matern't talking to you? We've had a few of those on that have done children's stuff. that then the kids were impressed with. That's right. Joanna Hausman and Phineas and Furb and then, you know. Paul Shear.

Paul Shear. Paul Shear is pretty famous in and of himself too, I guess. Oh, we had that lady on from Reno 9-1-1. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I love her. That new show, the St. Dennis Medical. It's killing it. It is.

It's really, it's pretty funny. I haven't watched it, but it's killing it. I know that it's killing it because it's on the third season already. Yeah. And they have ordered another four, a four. fourth and fifth season. So I think it's like the office in a hospital, right? Am I right about that? Yeah. It's very similar. Yeah. So, you know, listen, we've had a lot of brushes with it. Whosh. I just got a hug from Sal Volcano. What more could you want in life? I can die happy.

That's right. I can die happy. That's it. That's all I needed. Just a big hug from Salvo can. He's a good hugger. I just can't let you. Well, I mean, and he's a germaphobe, too, but that's an extra kick in the hug. He's a germaphobe. He doesn't like to fly. He's OCD. The guy's got a bunch of problems,

but he's pretty famous. Seems like a lot of those famous people have those problems. Jerry Seinfeld to Howie Mendel. Howie Mendel is one of the most popular podcasts out there. Did you know that? Yeah. Yeah? That's crazy.

But he really likes to spice it up. I mean, he brings on like really controversial figures or people who are arguing with each other. Listen to it. It was the guy from Smashing Pumpkins and. Oh, right. There was that whole thing. About they were twins or they were long lost brothers or something.

Billy Corgan. And I can't remember the other guy. And the other guy. The actor. But they brought him on and then he spied. Yeah, I don't know. But they really got into Bill Burr. Was it Bill Burr?

Was it? I think it might have been Bill Burr. Maybe. Yeah. And they really got into, I mean, like they got into it. It was. And he has like this weird. He has robots and a big.

shop and people go there and he's got like AI machines and he's building his own robots. Yeah, we were talking to another guest about it. Yeah, I said, who's your favorite podcast that you've been on so far? And they didn't say the commercial break. They said how he mended out. And he's like in his own like encased bubble or something. Like, well, he's on, he's on the other side of the studio. He doesn't like to touch people. And, you know, I can't believe he does that, you know, that whole AGT thing because it seems like a very messy big production where you're a lot a lot of people. You have a huge crowd behind you. But he manages, I mean, he gets through life. He's taking private planes everywhere. Um, so listen, uh, we've had a lot of famous people. I've loved

most of them. I've loved most of them. Yeah, yeah. And so we'll take a little break from interviews for right now. I think we've done a lot. And I've, I really have enjoyed the interviews have kept it fresh for us content wise. But the truth, here's the truth about interviews. interviews only matter to the people who are already listening to you unless the interviewee lets their audience know that they enjoyed this conversation they're coming, which would happen sometimes, but not frequently. And so for us, it was like, you know, kind of a return on investment, not money-wise, but just like time-wise. If we're going to only do two or three episodes a week, is the interview the right move? should we kill one episode with an hour-long interview? And the answer was not every week.

And so we'll, you know, we'll keep going. By the way, we were supposed to have Nurse Blake on. I saw that and what happened? He is supporting the New York nurses that went on strike. Oh, good for him. Yeah, he canceled. Then he said, listen, until this is over, I'm taking a break. I'm just going to take a break.

Good for him, though. That's great. Yeah, listen. Amen. Go support them and do your thing. those nurses they deserve every dollar that they get. For sure. Watch you an episode of The Pit. Tell me that those nurses don't deserve every single dollar.

I've got an itchy remote finger. I want to watch it, but I'm holding off. Me too. There is a new season of a Night Manager, which is an Amazon show that I watched, a spy show, like a kind of a spy show, that I watched with, is it Ralph Fines? No, not Ralph Fines.

I can't remember the guy's name, but it's really good. Okay, Night Manager. All of a sudden, a new season popped up. And I'm trying to slug through Jack Ryan. I love the first season. I like the second season.

The third season's okay. It's okay. I'm trying to slug through it. It puts him in the most ridiculous situations and he misses every bullet. And it's just like, okay. You know, have some fight scenes. It make it a little bit realistic.

I understand it's just like super, you know, it's like super spy bullshit. Yeah. And people love it. And it's very popular show. And I love, you know, I love Jim from the office as Jack Ryan. I think he actually does a good job.

But the show itself. John Krasinski. John Krasinski. The show itself puts him in such ridiculous situations. He's South Georgia, Sean. He's here. It puts him in such ridiculous situations that it's hard to wrap your head around any kind of realism in the show. Yeah.

And that, I need you to have one foot on the ground. I agree. One foot on the ground. And if you can put one foot on the ground, then I can suspend belief on some things. But please don't ask me to suspend belief on everything in the most ridiculous of ways that really irritates me. It irritates me. It irritates Brian. All right.

Well, slug through that. I'll try. I'm going to try. I got a lot of other things to watch. There's so much. Were you the one that was telling you about the fall? Yes. I can't wait to watch that.

I forgot about it. So, it popped back up and there's three seasons. So, I'm so excited to delve back to that. Three seasons. Yeah. Each one of them good in their own way. The first two, excellent. I mean, I love Julian Anderson so much.

The third one, it's good. You have to watch it. Okay. Just so you can wrap it all up. Just so you can put it to bed. But the first two seasons are master, a masterly crafted television show. Can't wait to watch it. I loved it.

I thought it was good. Yeah, and there's a lot of great British television that's coming online, too. It's like, I don't know. I don't have enough time. And there I am every night, night after night, watching the West fucking wing. I could literally tell you every line from every episode. And here I am watching. We do the same thing with Seinfeld.

Yeah. It's comfort food. It is. It's comfort food. I think, wow, we could have a democracy again someday. And Jed Bartlett will be in charge, President Bartlett. We'll see. We'll see how it all works out.
