and though I'm not gay you make me feel the way I hope it never ends My new Starbucks boyfriend On this episode of the Commercial Break. We say piggy fronting because I can imagine a ghost like full balls deep into Teresa's hair. But it reminded me that a while ago I collected a video as I do when I'm trolling on the internet. Sometimes I'll collect videos and put them in a folder and we never got to it. Two of my favorite people in the world, Dr. Osmed something or other and Teresa Caputo got together for a one-time special appearance where Dr. Oz really tried to debunk that Teresa had the abilities

to be psychic. Like the Dr. Oz? The Dr. Oz. Okay. The doctor who is now Secretary of State or something. I'm not sure. He's something. 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, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. I wanted to share a story about Disney. I'm dragging it out so I keep mining for little nuggets about my trip to Disney so we don't

get it all in one show and turn off the three listeners that we have currently. Give us little crumbles. Yeah, a little. Yeah, I'm going to lead a trail so that when I go back to Disney next time, I'll remember all the shitty things about it. So, when we went to Disney... I don't think I've told this story. Tell me if you've heard it. I might have told you, but maybe I didn't. Okay, let me just tell it and then you tell me. Stop me if I've already told this on air. Sometimes I don't remember. You can't remember a thousand episodes worth of-

I can't remember a thousand episodes worth of content. Oh, well, we've talked about it. Actually, unbelievably, the one thing that stands clear in my mind a lot of times, in a fog of confusion, children, and mass chaos, is when I listen to an episode of the commercial break, I can almost remember verbatim what I'm about to say next. It's kind of crazy. It's like my brain is making a movie

that's there for, like I can pull it. So when I listen to episode four, five, or six, or 40, or whatever it is, I can remember what I said in the moment. Like when we're talking, I can remember the next thing I said. It's a little bit weird. It's a little bit unnerving sometimes. How good my brain is at recalling that, yet the really important

stuff in my life, like my anniversary, children's birthdays, taxes, all that stuff I can't remember for the life of me. But a dick joke comes back to me so clearly. And then there's all the years before we even started the podcast that we were just doing the same thing that we were just doing the same thing that we're doing now, telling each other stories. And I don't remember any of that. Well, alcohol was involved in it. Maybe a Tasty Teen are here or there.

I go to Disney and I am, as I explained, when you're in Disney, then Instagram serves you up Disney content. Right. Because it knows you're on the property. So it serves you up. It's very evil in that way. But I know the game. I'm not stupid. And I'm okay with it. Let's serve me up the Disney. Let me be in the Disney bubble while I'm in the Disney bubble. So here we are at this resort inside of the property and up comes a reel from an account I have been following for a very long time. I don't want to name the account because I don't want to shame anybody here on air, but

let me explain the account a little bit. The account is from a number of people who sometimes may or may not have trouble getting on certain rides for certain reasons. They are not 100% able to be fitting in a ride. Let's put it that way. And that's the whole point of the account. The whole point of the account is if you are like me, can you fit in a ride? What can you eat? What can you eat?

Where can you go? The things that you can do in Disney World that are comfortable for you with this certain body type. Let's put it that way. I'm trying to be as ginger as I can here. And it's a number of people that share the same account. It's like a group of people that are doing this content. It's become very popular online.

As you can imagine, they have their fair share of people that love them. They have their fair share of people that do not care for them, that are just mean to them. I have never been one of those people that has been mean to them. I'm sure it's useful. It can be, sure, sure.

There are, it seems to be to a lot of people because in the comment section, there are hundreds, if not thousands of comments sometimes saying, thank you for that. I appreciate it. You're great. You're doing this, whatever. Okay. So I have come to know these people because I see their content online.

I've come to understand that there are other people out there in the world who are relying on this information for their future trips to Disney World. And so good for them. Congratulations. You found your niche. There are riches in niches. There it is. And you've amassed a following. I wouldn't call myself a super fan of this content because it doesn't always relate to me, but I find it interesting in some ways sometimes.

And so I am there in my Disney Resort at night and I am flipping through the Instagram. I am doom scrolling as I often there in my Disney resort at night and I am flipping through the Instagram, I am doom scrolling as I often do in my weird algorithm and up pops a reel from this particular account and I recognize immediately that in this reel they are not only at Disney World in this moment or at Sea They Seem to be, but they are in the resort, the specific hotel that I am staying at, and I recognize that they are probably staying in the building right next to me. Because I know the resort that, well, there are identifying characteristics about this particular reel that they did that lead me to believe they are right here with us right now. Cool. Whatever, right?

Yeah. So, at some point in one of the afternoons, here is how we did it. We said, let's go in the morning, let's shake all the willies out until we can shake our willies no more, until the kids are absolutely at their wits end, about to die, falling asleep, melting down, sunburned and hot and hungry and hangry and all that stuff. Let's get them back to the hotel, cool them down for a couple of hours, maybe splash in the pool and we'll go back at night

when the temperature's a little bit more reasonable. That's a good plan. And hope that we can get a couple extra hours out of kids that normally go to bed pretty early. And that worked for the most part. So here we are at our resort on one of these afternoons, we come back, but the youngest of the brood can be a real fuss nut sometimes.

She's got the most personality, and that personality can flip on a dime. If you have multiple children, then you know. The last one is often the one that tests you the most. She does, but she's also the cutest of the group at times. She can be the cutest. She does, but she's also the cutest of the group at times. She can be the cutest. She's having a meltdown, total meltdown.

She will not take a nap. She is not laying down. She has nothing to do with it, but we know because we know her so well that she is in absolute meltdown mode because she needs a nap. That's the only thing that she needs is sleep, but she will not recognize that.

She wants anything but sleep. Of course they do. They're fighting it to the last. That's what they do. So in cases like this, sometimes you have to pull the emergency cord and the emergency cord, in her case, as has been most of my children, and parents will recognize this, is a ride in a stroller or a ride in a car. Just get them moving. When they're moving, they'll fuss, but they'll start to calm down because there are new sights and sounds, and then eventually it just all fades away

and they fall asleep. Oh, the car usually happens like that. Oh, like that. But this one, sometimes you can't even get her into the car. She becomes wild. She'll like kick and scream and yell, and she doesn't wanna be in the car.

But the stroller, she's usually game for because that means we're going somewhere and we're doing something. So I say to Astrid, I got it. Let me put her in the stroller and away we go. So we go in the stroller and we're going from building to building. And this resort is very spread out. There's lots of walkways and pools and characters and things you can look at. And so we're going from building to building and pathway to pathway in and out, characters and things you can look at. And so we're going from building to building

and pathway to pathway in and out, in and out. And the hot fucking Florida sun just melting me and every, my bones are at 180 degrees. It's just miserable. But I just keep walking and praying that at some point she falls asleep, but she does not. She's awake. She's really fighting it.

Yeah. So I turn the corner on one of these pathways and there's a bunch of benches along the pathways, trees and shade and all this. And on one of the benches in what I think is like a smokey, it's supposed to be a smoking area, there's like a couple of bunch of benches sitting there. I see one of the people who creates content

on this page, on Instagram. So I'm right, they're here and there's one of them. And I think creator to creator, fellow creator to fellow creator, let me say hello and just say, hey, I follow you and congratulations on your success. I'm feeling generous of spirit and generous of heart because it's Disney and that's a nice thing. Congratulations on your success. I'm feeling generous of spirit and generous of heart because it's Disney and that's what you do.

So as I'm approaching, it's like my little radar, I've little computer in my head and I'm looking up and down and seeing and making sure and coordinating and triangulating, yes, that's the person that I think it is. And I stop and I say, excuse me, are you one of the creators on lalalalalalalalalalalalalala? To which they reply, yes, but I only say hello to fans during fan interaction events.

And I go, oh, well, I don't know if I would consider myself a fan. And they go, well, either way, I only interact during fan interaction events. And I thought to myself, well, haven't we put the crown on our heads, you fussy little fuck. And I said, okay, I was just gonna congratulate you on all the success, but I guess I won't. And I'm certainly not attending a fan interaction event after this fan interaction.

Right. To which they replied, thank you, bye. And I was like, oh, okay. Alrighty Rudy, Mrs. Snooty. Well, hoity-toity, Ella Boydie. I mean, who the fuck died and made you queen? You're not that big of a deal. You really aren't.

You aren't Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Tom Cruise. You're a person who makes content online. And you have found some success doing that. And I have been following you for a number of years and have watched as your success has grown. And I thought it was a nice thing to do to stop and say congratulations on all your success. I'm not a fan quote unquote. And I'm not here to fan boy, ask your autograph steal any of your precious fucking time.

All I'm doing is saying hey congrats on all the success but they couldn't take a compliment they couldn't even wait to tell to shut me down and I mean they shut me down quick and I think to myself after this interaction, which is very weird, a little rough around the edges, and I just moved on. Like I just moved on. Okay, whatever, no skin off my back. It's not like I'm meeting my hero.

It's just someone I see online. Oh right, and you've got the baby too. And I've got the baby, who luckily at that point was like halfway asleep. You know, halfway asleep. She wasn't as fussy as she had been or twirly-whirly. But the next 15 minutes putting the baby fully to sleep, give me the opportunity. You're thinking about it. It's running through your head. Oh, it was running through my head. And I thought to myself, let me never be the asshole. Let me

never be the asshole who denies someone the opportunity to tell me thank you for whatever it is I have done for them or Congratulations, or I saw you online and I liked this or maybe even I saw you online I don't care if you like it or not Let me never be that asshole and if I ever have an interaction with anybody that's listening to this show or sees us online Or whatever it is that's anywhere close to that anybody that's listening to this show or sees us online or whatever it is that's anywhere close to that, it's time to pack it up and go home. Because that is the epitome of entitlement and just shittiness. I mean, absolute shittiness to someone you made the assumption was- Were they alone?

Yes, they were. Okay, so it wasn't like they were with the family and you were interrupting or anything. No. Sitting on a bench. I wonder if they just had a really shitty day at Disney. Listen, I can understand that Disney is hard for anybody. It's hard. It's a lot of stuff going on.

It's a lot. It's not a relaxing vacation. It is a go, go, go. Every moment is consumed. People are pushing and shoving and walking in front of you. It's hot. Hot, being rude, and you gotta switch hotel rooms and my ticket doesn't work, and I had a fast pass for this,

and all that other bullshit. I get it, I've done it so many times I can't even count. However, you gotta rev down. I should've just said thank you. Yeah, you gotta rev down a little bit. Like, I understand, maybe you don't wanna get mauled by people, but I don't imagine that's the kind of creators these people are. I can imagine they get stopped.

I bet they do a lot, get stopped and, hey, thank you for the content, you helped me out, thank God, whatever it is. But I wasn't asking for an autograph. I didn't have a plushie with her face on it, asking for an autograph. I was just there to, I was just trying to be nice. And what I got was complete rudeness. I mean, absolutely disgustingly rude.

And it really- It was their loss. It really just shone a light, shined a light on the things that I don't wanna be. You know, we had, really just shone a light, shined a light on the things that I don't wanna be. We spoke to Chelsea Lin, also known as Tammy, a couple of days ago. You'll hear that interview coming up shortly.

She was fantastic. And overnight successes are never overnight. And I'm not claiming we're a success. I'm not claiming anybody would even know who we were because we haven't had a lot of fan interactions at all. I think I can count two, three, something like that. Four, I don't know, people who have ever recognized any of us outside in the real world. But we were asking her what it was like to be like,

you know, go from zero to hero in just a relatively short amount of time. She said, it happened very slowly for me, you know? I had a couple fans here, a couple fans there. And then during the pandemic, it blew up a little bit. She said, but I had that seven years of kind of no notoriety whatsoever to get used to, to like build into it, to slowly get there.

And she seemed very grateful for all of it. It seemed like she was very humbled by the experience. And that not a, I didn't see an air of snootiness about any of this or entitlement about any of this. But you make some videos about Disney world and now you're going to treat everybody like you're fucking, I don't know. Who's a notorious pain in the ass? Who's a celebrity who's a notorious pain in the ass?

Well. Oh, yeah. You know, I don't know. Who's that guy? Ari? Yeah, from Entourage. Entourage? I've heard he's an asshole. I've heard that. I wouldn't know, or maybe I would, but you know, I've heard he's a douchebag. Mariah

Carey, I've heard can be a real pain in the ass. Who's the person who they said don't look at them on set? Like you can't, isn't that Ellen? You couldn't look Ellen in the eye or something? Ellen, no, it can't have been Ellen. Well, remember when all that drama came out that she was treating everybody like shit on her show? Is it raining outside? Oh, it's thundering and raining like crazy.

It is? Yes, I heard it. I didn't even recognize her in the middle of a torrential downpour here, because everybody's in the middle of a torrential downpour. But I hear Ellen was, remember that whole expose? The reason why she's off air is because people came out and said she's a real nightmare to work with,

and that don't look her in the eye. That kind of shit I just don't understand. I don't get it. No matter what, oh, I have a friend, let's call it a friend, who was on set with J.Lo. And J.Lo's security had to meet with this friend on set, worked in the movie business, had to meet with this friend on set

to discuss security protocols around J.Lo. Fair enough, when you get to that level of fame. Yeah, you gotta be careful. I get that, I understand protection, I understand wanting to make sure that everyone's safe, including your family. But then apparently there were like some weird requests, like you can't look J-Lo in the eye, don't say hello.

I mean, just like weird ass shit. It's so strange to me. It's so inhuman and disconnected from anything that I would believe. Yeah, it does seem foreign. And it made- Most celebrities that I have met, or even musicians that I've met, have been extremely nice and graceful.

So I think, I feel like I hope that it's more of the exception than the rule. We were just talking about this a day or two ago. I met with, spoke with, interacted with Mark Cuban, probably one of the most famous billionaires that lives today, at least in the United States of America. And he couldn't have been more human than, I mean, he was just a dude. And nicer. And nicer. Until you emailed him excessively.

Until I've emailed him into irritation. Somebody texted about that. He originally was really nice. Yeah, somebody texted about that. They were like, listen, Brian, I get it. You like to talk for a living and I understand. But if I was ever friends with Mark Cuban, the last thing I would want to do is irritate him about anything. I can't help myself.

I know. It's cute. The thing is, if you meet me, it's unlikely I'm going to say I only interact with you during a fan interaction. It's more likely that I'll just email you into irritation and submission. I'll probably want to hang out with you for the rest of the day. I'll be like, hey, what you doing? Yeah, exactly.

I was just chilling here. I need somebody to talk to. Astrid won't listen to me anymore. You want to take a seat? No, you got actual friends and family? Okay. Can I follow you with your friends and family? I might be the opposite of that girl.

I might actually just hang out with you for the rest of the day. If I ever get there, let me be the first to hang it out. I'll give you a love tap. Give me a love tap and I'll turn off the sign and we'll all go home forever. And okay, I'll put this out there. Could have been a really bad day.

Could have had a scary interaction with a fan. Could have, yeah. Could have had multiple scary interactions with a fan. Could have been that all the hate that they get online, they just have a rule amongst themselves. We only do this when there's, we only meet people when there's security around to check out the good, the bad, and the ugly. I don't know.

Could be at that level. I want to know more about these fan interaction events. I know. What's a fan interaction event? You like charge people to come and say hello to you? Comic Con? I guess. I don't know. They do like a day. I think they do like a day where everyone meets up in Disney and they all go around figuring out if they can ride rides together. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know enough about it because I don't... Because you're not a fan.

I'm not. I see their reels and if I see one, I stop. Number one, it's Disney. I'm interested. Number two, the content in and of itself is interesting. It's not something that I have to worry about, but it's something lots of people go to Disney have to worry about. And so I find it interesting. It's not something that I have to worry about, but it's something lots of people go to Disney have to worry about. And so I find it interesting. Oh, you know, can you get on that ride? Can you go to that restaurant? Can you be in that particular mode of transportation? Is it made

for you? Because there are lots of people at Disney and all around the country and world who are concerned with that kind of stuff. So they aren't serving a purpose. They are, they're doing it on behalf of other people so that they can save themselves some time, some energy, effort, money, and I imagine embarrassment. Right? And so I think in that sense, it's good. It's good content, let it be. So yeah, but you know, okay, let's take it on faith that maybe they were having a bad day or had a bad fan, quote unquote, interaction. Maybe they had some haters that were driving them a little bit crazy and they needed to put some rules and parameters around it. But oh, but not to say thank you. Not to say thank you. Is that thunder? That's thunder. Okay.

All right. So we're going to take a break and take these earphones off of our heads so that we don't get electrocuted in the process of making this episode. And then we'll be back when it's all over. You make this rather snappy, won't you? I have some really heavy picking to do before 10 o'clock. Hi, cats and kittens. Rachel here.

That's d-a-z-n dot com slash fifa okay couple of exciting things in the works that i want to let the listeners know about we mentioned this earlier this week but i'll follow through on it tcb plus minus chrissey and i's streaming platform idea from 2020 that we wrote in the book and we never really got to may come to fruition that we wrote in the book and we never really got to, may come to fruition in this sense. Chrissy and I are going to, sometime in the next, let's call it month, month and a half,

we are going to do a special two-parter episode. Looks like it might be about three hours long, two-parter episode where Chrissy and I review a movie in its entirety as we watch the movie together. All of us will be doing this on streaming and then we'll put it out as special episodes on YouTube and on the audio platform. That movie is a movie made, produced, written, and starred in by one of our favorite fucknut preachers, Kenneth Copeland.

It's his first movie, actually, and it's a Western. And it is so fucking funny. I've only, it's two and a half, two hours, 10 minutes long. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. I've only watched about 20 minutes of this movie, and it is so crazy and funny that there's no way this is not going to be the best three hours of our lives. TCB plus minus is coming to a screen or your ear balls. Soon enough, stay tuned, we'll give you exact dates and times, it's likely gonna be on a weekday at some point.

And we're gonna stream it live and then we'll put it out as an audio too. We want you to be a part of that. There is no, we're not like, you don't have to sign up for anything or any, we just want you to be aware that that's out there. Also, it appears that after five years of being a podcast and after 350,000 pitches for the same merch ideas, we have finally found a merch partner that is worthy of our attention.

If you don't mind Chrissy, that they're not using AI to generate bad logos and stick them on shitty t-shirts that will fall apart the first wash. A quality, solid merch company, and we have gotten some really good design mockups in conjunction with our friends at Odyssey and Astrid and everybody who's, Juliet, who's been working on it. It appears our very first merch drop will happen sometime in August.

Limited edition merch, it'll only be on sale for about two, two and a half weeks. You get it, you don't, and then you'll have to wait till the next merch drop, which looks like it will likely be the 12 days of TCB will be the next merch drop. So stay tuned, get your credit cards ready, save up your money, put the toll booth change in a bag and get it ready. 1995 plus 1995. 1995 plus 1999 shipping and handling,

probably more like 39.95 plus 1995 shipping and handling. But save your money, get it ready, because we are going to do our official first merch drop. And we are looking to sell at least, we're looking to sell out on this first go, and we're making at least two hats the first run. So both of you have to buy a hat. That's what I'm saying.

Both of you, both listeners have to buy a hat. OK, here we go. In preparation for our TCB plus minus, in preparation for our very first merch drop, we were coming up with ideas for merch and something that came up that is always coming up with when we're talking about merch or stickers is Teresa Caputo and how we take the likeness of Teresa Caputo, her hair, something, and put it into a, into merch. Piggy fronting, of course, is probably one of the more, I'd say, recognizable sayings that we have around here.

Piggy fronting is, of course, Teresa's way, she used to say piggybacking, that one ghost would piggyback onto another one, and they'd go dancing through the room, indicating how they were murdered or whatever. Drinking wine. Yeah, We say piggy fronting, because I can imagine a ghost, like full balls deep into Teresa's hair.

But it reminded me that a while ago, I collected a video, as I do when I'm trolling on the internet sometimes, I'll collect videos and put them in a folder, and we never got to it. Two of my favorite people in the world, Dr. Osmed something or other, and Teresa Caputo got together

for a one-time special appearance where Dr. Oz really tried to debunk that Teresa had the abilities to be psychic. Like the Dr. Oz? The Dr. Oz. The doctor who is now Secretary of State or something. I'm not sure. He's something.

Is he Surgeon General? This guy is the biggest snake oil medicine salesperson. He sells dick pills. I mean, this guy is a crackpot. He really is. I think any doctor that really wants to be a television star, like Dr. Phil, Dr. Ra, they should all be taken with a grain of salt because something's wrong with them. They have something's wrong with their brain. Anybody wants to be famous, something's wrong with our heads. It's just's wrong with their brain. Anybody who wants to be famous, something's wrong with our heads. It's just true.

You wouldn't take medical advice from Brian, would you? Don't take it from doctor. Just cause he went to school longer than I did, or he went to school at all, doesn't mean that he knows more than I do. But Dr. Oz, Mehmet Oz. Mehmet, yeah. Dr. Mehmet Oz and Teresa Caputo got together,

skeptic versus psychic. They wanted to know. Really? If these psychic abilities she had were real or not. And so he kind of put her to the test in an hour long episode, special episode of the Dr. Mamet Oz show. So I've downloaded it.

This is probably going to be a two-parter, maybe even a three-parter episode. So here we go. Let's get started on a Friday for you here on the commercial break. It is Teresa Caputo on the Dr. Oz show. I think in its entirety, unless we just get bored and turn it off. So let's see. I don't want to make any promises because there's only so much Dr. Mehmet Oz that I can take. But we'll start it off here. Today on Dr. Oz, Long Island medium, Teresa Caputo has a gift for communicating with the dead. But there have been critics accusing you. I love that intro voice. But.

Yeah. Long Island comedian, Long Island comedian, Teresa Caputo has a knack for making people laugh. but now Because of dr. Oz things got serious being a fraud What do you have to say to them see for yourself when Teresa shows you why millions turn to her for hope? I just got the goosebumps. Did you just get the chills? The three things you should eat to live a longer, okay, we'll get to that later things you should eat to live a longer life. Okay, we'll get to that later. There are three things. Just three. Yeah, just three.

Alright, let's get to Dr. Oz. On our hit TLC reality show, Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo captivates audiences with her self-proclaimed gift for communicating with the dead. But there are some critics who question her legitimacy. Today, Theresa's here to show us why millions look to her

for help. Please welcome, Theresa Caputo. Dr. Today, Teresa's here to show us why millions look to her for help. Please welcome Teresa Caputo. Dr. Oz, if you were a real doctor, an actual scientist, you would say that there is absolutely zero proof that psychics can communicate with the dead. Hi, thank you. Thank you. Here's my helmet. It enters the room a couple feet before I do. Thank you. Nice to see you.

Thank you so much. I've always loved Teresa's hair. How long is it to make? It's just one, two, three. Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes. Lots of practice, I'm sure. I'm sure.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I don't know, how long is it to make? It's just one, two, three. Get out of bed in like 20 minutes. 20 minutes. Lots of practice, I'm sure. It's because it's hiding a series of devices that let her know, I know it, I know it, I know it.

And recently she's gotten a new hairstyle. It's more choppy changey. It's less big bouffant, more choppy changey. But I know, and we all know, somewhere in that head or somewhere on her body is a series of devices that let her know from behind the curtain. Yeah, I think it's like a hairpiece almost. I think it's a hairpiece. And here's what I imagine. There are little like pulsating somethings or others.

So right means yes, left means no, front means maybe, back means, you know, the Braves are winning. I don't know, something like that. I don't know, but that's what I imagine because no person in their right mind, no human being in the right mind chooses to have their hair like that. That's just a ridiculous crazy haircut. And it just looks too thick. You can't even see through. That's right. Yeah. No one has hair like that. No one. The media can be tough sometimes. Oh, sure.

It's difficult questions. Sure. Let's softball Teresa Caputo, my mate. Some local critics accusing you of being a fraud. What do you have to say? Local critics? I think they're pretty unlocal. I think they're all around the world. Yeah. I don't say anything. I think they're all around the world.

I don't say anything. I feel everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I have a beautiful and amazing gift that helps people. And I just don't focus on the negative. I love how they put the words on the bottom, like the little flair. It says, Teresa Caputo sets the record straight. Yeah, she's setting it straight. Yes. Let's hear about the bullshit straight from the bullshit artist.

That's all. There's been reports of this, you know, she says these live tours where she actually does readings. Yeah. There have been reports that you've cancelled that tour. And it's been your fans, not just the critics, your fans say maybe it's because of the controversy. Absolutely. Now, well, that just shows you how accurate that information is because I am literally on tour right now, touring all over the country. And I'm going back out on how accurate that information is because I am literally on tour right now, touring all over the country,

and I'm going back out on tour in June as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's remarkable. Yeah. It's remarkable.

It's remarkable. Remarkable. Thank you, Teresa. Thank you for setting the record straight on that. This gift you have, a lot of folks don't really understand how it came about, whether they might have it. I'd love to hear your story of how you first figured out

that you felt things differently. Well, I was about 15 years old, and I was hanging out with my mother. And this lady walked in, and she had a nice purse, and I said, watch, Mom, I'm going to get $15 out of this lady. And I said, looks like you have a ghost hanging out behind your head. Have you ever known a dead person?

I always felt that since I was a child. I always felt different. I used to say that to my mom at the age of four. I used to say, I don't feel right. I don't feel like I belong. And I thought what was going on in my brain was going on in everybody else's brain. And once I found out that it was.

Well, then why would you feel different? Yeah, then why did you feel different? in my brain was going on in everybody else's brain. And once I found out that it was. Yeah, then why did you feel different? That's a good question, Chrissy. Chrissy points out something very interesting. She just said she always felt different, but she always felt like she was just like everybody else. And I just trusted it and embraced it. And here I am.

Here you are. Healing hearts. So I was curious about how your mind works. Healing hearts. He's so full of shit. Some of you may remember this. Last year I asked a leading brain expert to take a look at what's happening to Teresa's brain. What she says she's...

Leading brain expert. Keep kidding with the dead. I want you to take a look at this very carefully. Yeah, let's take a look very carefully. Can science detect the spirit at work? That was the question we tried to answer with our first of its kind experiment. With the help of first of its kind, leading brain... You don't think this has been done before? No, I said this is the first. You don't think they've ever put a psychic in an MRI machine?

Come on, Dr. Oz. Researcher Dr. Daniel Amon, we hooked up Theresa to a QEEG to scan her brain in its normal state. He is a renowned brain guy. He is a renowned brain researcher. But he's just researching what she thinks she's doing. Yeah, and I remember the results of this, because I think we talked about this years ago on the show, and the results are that her brain goes into some meditative state. And my belief is, it goes into some meditative state because she's full of fucking shit and so it's almost like a pathological liar believing their own bullshit she

has to to keep a straight face. And when she read our audience for messages from the other side. That's the best haircut we've ever seen Teresa with. She's got a full brain cap on. I love it. Allow the messages to come to you, and when they do, raise your finger. She's going at it already. Raise your finger. Come here.

Hello. It's me, Spirit. For the results. Do I have a choice at this point? What we discovered was that when Teresa was channeling, there was a dramatic shift in her brain activity. Oh my goodness. She went from almost all full of shit to totally full of shit.

What we see is the alpha waves go down, actually her frontal lobes go down significantly, and it activated both of her temporal lobes. So there's just some evidence now that it is in fact a brain phenomenon. It's a brain phenomenon. Hold on one second here. Let's back this up with some actual science. Just give me one second. Bear with me, audience, while we get through this together.

What is the temporal lobes in your brain responsible for question mark? Because now we want to know what the, because what they're not doing is giving you a clarity on what those are responsible for. Auditory processing, the primary auditory cortex, processing sound and is crucial for hearing and interpreting language, language comprehension, memory formation, emotional regulation, visual recognition, and integration of sensory input.

So it dominates language, logic, and detail processing. If someone is lying, would they be using their temporal lobes? Yes if someone is lying, their temporal lobes are most certainly activated and more involved. Here is how they play a role. Memory retrieval. recalling memories in order to distort and manipulate them, language processing, the ability to construct a believable narrative, auditory monitoring. When lying in conversation, people monitor how their lie sounds and how others are responding. So, there we go. What Dr. Oz and Amen are doing, which is not very cool in my opinion because the brain

guy is really a well-respected brain guy, is they are manipulating the way that we are interpreting these results by not giving you the full color context. The brain doctor certainly knows this, probably said it on the show, but it was not, it was cut out of this so that they could get more running room from the people who do believe that they want the people who believe in Teresa Caputo to watch their show and buy their My Pillows. So what do you conclude from this experiment? Do you think there's something really happening inside, Teresa?

Well, I do. I actually watched. You know, there's a lot more that's real than scientists believe that's real. Oh my God. I must say, Teresa, that little cap you're wearing is quite a fashion statement. It sure is. It was one of my better hair days. Well, we can all agree on that, Teresa.

So these results, they were studying to me. Were you surprised by them? I'd like her to wear the cap and then do the readings. Do the cold readings, yeah. I wasn't. I really wasn't. Because I knew there was something going on there, but it was just nice to see that it was validated. You know, and that's what I feel that I'm able to do as a medium.

It has never been, Dr. Oz, about me wanting people to believe in mediums. That's not the focus of my gift. I want everyone to know that their loved ones are with them and that they have the ability to connect with their own loved ones, knowing that what they're sensing and feeling is real, that they're not crazy, and they just want us to live a happy life after they're gone. Because what I found out is a lot of people, and this all ties into health, of living a healthy life as well, because if your loved one leaves the physical world and you're left with burdens and guilt, should have, could have, would have... That's why I'm selling my Teresa Caputo Get Rid of the Spirit's kale pills to take every

morning. For $19.95 plus $19.95 shipping and handling, we'll send you one full box of kale pills every month. These kale pills will get rid of demons and help you connect with your dead loved ones. Only ifs. That blocks you from healing, which turns into stress, anxiety, and it can snowball into serious health issues. And by being able to release that is such a gift.

In which case you should go see an actual licensed therapist. Psychiatrist or a therapist. In some sort versus spending that same money on going to see her on tour. Yes, and I want you to notice what Teresa is doing here. She's on Dr. Mamet Oz's show where Dr. Mamet Oz lies to you about the things that are making you healthy for clicks and for views. But what's really going on is that

she is trying to connect this with some kind of health angle to get Dr. Oz to buy into her bullshit. This is, she's very manipulative, extraordinarily manipulative. Because when we were showing that clip, I was drawn... We've listened to 100 hours of Teresa Caputo, and never once have we heard her talk about the health benefits of her readings. Over to that section over there. That's a nice little bonus she threw in there. Yes, it is.

Thank you. It's healthy. There was a mother energy, and she said to me that my daughter was left with the burden of feeling that she didn't make all the right choices for me. And I want my daughter to know that I knew that she was there. Is that you, ma'am? Can you stand up, please? Yeah, let's go over there.

Here we go. You just sensed that while you were watching that video. When I was watching the tape, I heard. But this is what happens. I sense and feel things. I might not necessarily know what it is, but I'm drawn to a certain... That is such a general statement. I might not necessarily know what it is, but I'm drawn to a certain. I'm getting it.

That is such a general statement. I know. Does anyone here have a mother? Does anyone here have a mother? Has anyone here ever had a daughter? Did you ever feel like you made the wrong decisions on behalf of your daughter when it comes to parenting? I just felt it, Chrissy.

I felt it right in my left tit as I was standing over here. Someone grabbed me in my left tit. I felt a piggy fronting. If you know what that ever feels like, if you've ever been balls deep, I know you and Jeff like to get into some freaky shit. I know you do. And that's okay, Chrissy. I felt balls deep here. And that tells me that Jeff's ready for your special lasagna, quote unquote, when you get home. Maria. What's your name now? And is that your mom's rings?

Yeah. Are those your mom's rings? Both. Both. Perfect. And I wore them because I was thinking about my mom, because well, it's 43 years. But that's the thing. That soul bond can never be broken.

That when we lose our loved one, the only thing that is broken is that physical connection. And when I was sitting there, I was made to feel that your mom couldn't communicate in the end, that you were left with choices and decisions, and now you're left with those burdens. Did I make the right choices? Again, it's so general. Everything's open to interpretation, you know? Chrissy, when you've experienced death in your family,

were you left with burdens and decisions that you didn't expect? Yeah, sure. Do you wish that you could have communicated, do you wish that your loved one could have communicated more at the end, the things that she wished and desired or he or whatever? Yeah.

Of course, that's what death is. Death is an abrupt ending, usually, an abrupt ending to someone's life, where you're left as a loved one with burdens and decisions. She's not saying anything groundbreaking, nor is she being super specific about anything. I'm proud of me. Did I disappoint my mom?

And your mom made me feel the emotion that she wanted you to know that you always made the right choice for her, and that as you told her that it was okay to let go and to leave the physical world, correct? I stepped on a feeding tube. I know, I was thinking the same thing, like what if she killed us? I know.

Know that she heard you. Your mom also talks about the brother that is also on the other side as well. I don't. No! She took a big swing. No. No. She took a big swing. Yeah.

Swing, matter, matter, matter. OK, who can connect with the brother? Who? Who's got a brother? Who's got a brother? Who's got a brother? Forget about you. Living or dead?

At this point, living or dead? I just want to get somewhere else. This is what happens in the cold reading. You take a swing, you miss, you move on to the next person. You couldn't just stick with it? Okay, can you stand up please? So unfortunately, your brother is departed? No, he's here, right here with me. This is Bob.

Yes. Okay. And you don't know this woman, correct? No, I just met her. Perfect. And you never met me before, right? No. Although we do phone calls.

One woman has a mother and one woman has a brother. This is amazing. I knew it the second that I walked in. You guys don't know each other, do you? You don't know each other. You don't know me, do you? Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. You don't know my producers, do you?

Ding ding ding ding ding. You didn't write a lengthy email before we got here about who you'd like to talk to, right? Ding ding ding ding ding ding. Oh my God, what a crock of shit. All right, we'll be back with more of this Clean out the bullshit from your ears and we'll be back with more Okay, you're probably wondering why I Rachel have taken over the voice duties at TCB

Okay, back with Teresa Caputo filling our ears with magical thoughts of dead people and... We'll let her talk. Oh, hey! But here's the interesting thing. When spirit communicates, I also want them to communicate with personality, the way that they were before they got sick or left the physical world, because I feel that's the best validation for you that it is your loved ones.

And your mother, she was such a giving person. And she said, don't leave until you speak to the brother. Do you understand that? Would that be your mother? But it's her... No, she was quite the bitch. That's why I stepped on her feeding tube. Ha ha.

It's her brother that's departed. Yeah, and you don't know this woman, but that would be your mother's personality. Oh, see, now, Teresa's got to make the connection. So now dead people are talking to each other? Yeah. Hey, don't leave until you talk to this guy. Well, why can't you talk to that guy? This is so convoluted.

Are you correct? Yeah. And you're? Yeah, I guess. Yeah, she goes like, I guess. He shrugged her shoulders. She's like, not really. Brother says that you didn't get the opportunity to say goodbye. That's correct.

So you were left with, I hope my brother knows how much I loved him. And I wish I could have been there more for him. But I didn't know. So know that your brother wants to take the responsibility of not you knowing that he was going to leave the physical world. Do you understand that? Yes, I do.

Do you understand? Do you understand? Say yes, please say yes. I want to hear your stories a bit. So what's going on with your brother? Just a back story. He, um... It's a very sensitive subject.

Is that correct, ma'am? Yes. Yes. He was an international drug agent. Have you seen the show Narcos? Yeah, have you seen the show Narcos? Well, he was an extra in that show and it's a very sensitive subject for me and my family. He said, please, Dr. Oz, I take responsibility for my departure.

Don't make my sister have to relive my death. Do you understand that? Yes. So no, I just got the goosebumps. Did you just get the chills? Yes. Know that that was your brother's soul that just moved through you. To validate that, he...

The brother said, shut up Oz. I better shut up Oz. Coming up piggy-fronting you. I'm gonna put my dick right in your mouth next. Yeah, Teresa squashed that whole thing when Dr. Oz wanted to dig in. Yeah, she did. It's a very sensitive subject. This lady will say yes to anything Teresa asks her because she's just so enthralled by

talking to Teresa. How do we know that? Because when Teresa said, do you know me, she says, have we ever met before? She says, no, but I've been to many of your shows. Uh-huh. And then Teresa goes, hi. Hi. Oh, hi. Hi. Thanks for buying the new Mercedes. Chose, made certain choices for himself that ultimately ended his life. And those burdens were left with his sister.

Even though she tried to help him, he kept her and pushed her away. Not in a mean way, just in an emotional way. Yes. And ma'am, you were hesitating. She said, wait a minute, what do you mean by that? Well, I actually dated her brother. Turns out he was gay. I mean before you said talk to my brother, well I have three brothers, but some of the things you said to this lady pertained to me too.

And that's amazing. And that's amazing. I actually wasn't talking to you. I was talking to her. This is crazy. There's people here. What are the chances of you sitting next to each other? Correct?

I can tell you. Sam Hewitt. Wait, what did she say? Our next guest is coming on. He's very popular amongst some women. What? Teresa Caputo. I only hear dead people.

Oh, Dr. Oz went in for the mouth kiss there. He did. Wow, Dr. Oz, it was kind of creepy. Oh, I thought this was the whole episode. No, they're gonna tell us just about the three only things we need to live longer. Yeah, okay, well, let's listen to that. Let's listen to that.

Why not? Okay, we're just rolling with it, guys. Yeah. Check out this guy. He's the world record holder for the most pull-ups in 24 hours. Today, Mark Jordan is trying to break a new record. Pull-ups are really tough. Yeah, they are.

Yeah, and the older I get, the less I'm even interested in doing a pull-up. You know what I'm saying? Hurts my shoulder, hurts my back. This guy's already at seven. I would be at half. Right here on our show, and if you can hang on, pardon the pun, you can keep going. I'll tell you the fantastic reason.

Look, even he's tired. He's the world record holder. He's at 10 and he wants to let go. But first, meet the national... That's not a pull-up. It's not. He was going, he was lifting his head up. He's not even close to bringing his chin across that bar.

A graphic explorer who traveled the world and learned about the world's longest living people. Today, Dan Buettner is gonna spill the secrets. Why is everyone excited about Dan Buettner? From places where people live to a hundred. What's the secret to a longer, healthier, The old Mediterranean diet. Yeah, the old Mediterranean diet.

Yeah, well, listen. It's healthy. Everyone is looking for the old Mediterranean diet. Well, listen. It's healthy. Everyone is looking for the fountain of youth. Life. Dan Buettner thinks he has the answer. Buettner discovered places where people live longer than anywhere else. Up to 12 years longer. I don't want those last 12 years.

I don't want 100 to 112. Do you know what I'm saying? I'm saying? I'm okay getting it. Yeah, and the people that live in these zones, they exercise a lot. They just naturally walk a lot. They walk a lot, yeah.

And they eat leafy greens and vegetables and fruits. And yeah. There is one place, I think it's in Italy. It's a town in Italy where they have more centigenarians or whatever they call them, than anywhere else in the world. There's like, I might be getting this wrong, but if I remember the article correctly, there's

like 60 people over a hundred years old. What is common? They have stairs all throughout the village. Cars are generally not something you would take to anywhere. They spend their entire life in that village. No fast food. They don't eat fast food. They don't eat fast food. They don't generally watch television.

They're not sentient. They eat a lot of olives. They eat a lot of leafy greens, a lot of lean meats like lamb. They're sentient, but not sedentary. Oh yeah, sentient. They're not sentient, which helps. My chat TCB is 130.

No signs of it slowing down. It happens when you get to the end of a long day. How about we let this guy explain. He tagged these places, blue zones, and then set about researching. Oh, this is what I was reading about. The blue zone. Yeah. Secrets.

Well, there's a couple blue zones. Yeah. There's a few blue zones across the world. Yeah. This room is a blue zone. One's in Costa Rica. Oh, this is what I was reading about, the blue zone. Yeah, well there's a couple blue zones. Yeah. There's a few blue zones across the world. Yeah, this room is a blue zone. One's in Costa Rica. Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh, okay. Health, nutrition, and lifestyle. Like Okinawa, Japan. Oh, right. And Sardinia, Italy. Sardinia, that's where it was. Where an astounding number of residents lived to the age of 100. And Icaria, Greece, where he found 20% lower rates of cancer, 50% lower rates of heart

disease and almost no dementia. Geez, I'm going to live there. Buter used these Blue Zone practices to create a longevity blueprint, putting them in the practice to improve lives around the globe. Places like Albert Lea, Minnesota, America's first city to go Blue Zone, losing a collective 12,000 pounds, slashing health care costs and adding nearly three years to projected... Health care claims for the city workers declined by 50%. Participants added 2.9 years to the projected lifespan and

they lost a collective of 12,000 pounds in Albert Lee, Minnesota. Albert Lee, Minnesota, which is probably a tiny fucking town. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. If you do put into practice some of the things that it really does help, but it's kind of common sense stuff.

I know, but common sense stuff is not always easy to do. No. Not in the world that we live in. No. You know what? easy to do, not in the world that we live in. You know what? This makes me think about, thinking about, maybe trying to do more research on this. Possibly maybe. Possibly maybe doing trying to do more research on this. Life spans. In California, where after two years

of blue zoning, three beach cities saw a 30% decline in smoking rates and a 14% drop in obesity. Proving small shifts in how we eat, drink, move and think can create large changes in our health, happiness and how long we live. Today, Dan shares his secrets from the places where people live to be 100 and beyond. Dan Buettner is here. Now, he says that the secret to living longer is not just about the choices we make. That's surprising to me. No, no.

We tend to think of discipline and individual responsibility, but actually, if you look at these spry centenarians, none of them were ever trying to be 100. They never got on that difficult diet or bought the StairMaster for their basement or called an 800 number for supplements. Longevity happened to them. They lived in... You don't say. They're not buying the stair master for their basement in Sardinia, Italy at 88 years old. Or, it's like a Greece.

Yeah. Places where the culture made the healthy choice for them. And that's what we're doing around America right now in 23 cities. Just to point out, it's spry centenarians. A lot of people say, I don't want to live days 100, but these are people who are 100, it's spry centenarians. A lot of people say, I don't want to live days 100, but these are people who are 100, but they look like they're 60. They're vital.

So the reality is, the longer you've lived, the healthier you've been. So these 100 year olds tend to live a long time and die pretty quickly. And part of the secret is they live in the right community. They create their own blue zones. We now know that if your three best friends are obese and unhealthy, there's about a 150% better chance that you'll be overweight yourself.

So it's about building the right community around yourself. Well, that is good news, Chrissy, because I consider you a rather slim, fit, healthy, spry young lady. Okay, and I you. Well, thank you very much. No, I'm not a young lady, but I've often been accused of being a spry, healthy young lady, but I've often been accused of being a spry, healthy young lady, that's for sure.

All right, well, I don't know how much more Dr. Oz I can take. I mean, not that he's not giving me out good information. Listen, even a blind squirrel gets a nut even every once in a while. But I've watched enough Dr. Oz to know it's a lot of snake oil. But this sounds great.

Basically what this guy's saying is if you're born in the wrong place, you're fucked. It's all about the geographic lottery. You know how much of your life, your wealth, your health, your happiness depends on where you were born? A lot. Your education level, your access to funds, and your access to economic wealth and prosperity,

a lot of it has to do with what lottery you won when your mom gave birth to you. That's it, your geographic lottery, that's it. And so that reminds us all that it is a lottery and we have no choices. And those who don't win the geographic lottery, they also have no choice in where they are born. So let's treat each other with just a little bit

of humility and respect when we do win the geographic lottery. Huh? Huh? I'm looking at you. You can't see me because you're listening to me. If you could see me, I'd be giving you a look right now. Right? That's right. Am I right?

That's right. You're right. Okay. That's right. Am I right? That's right, you're right. Okay. That's all I gotta say. I saw some ice rolling around my town yesterday. Oh, you did. Yes, I did. Some blacked out vehicles. Really? Splanked by some not blacked out vehicles

and I thought to myself, here we go. It's here. I mean, I know it's here because I can read the news, but I saw it and it just, it gave me a chill. Yeah. It's Gestapo I mean, I know it's here because I can read the news, but I saw it and it just gave me a chill. It's Gestapo type shit and I'm not for it at all. Not at all. 212-433-3TCB, 212-433-3822.

When the frustration grows and the doubts start to creep in, we all need someone who has our back. To tell us we'll be okay, to remind us of our ability to believe, because their belief in us transfers to self-belief and reminds us of all that we're capable of. We all need someone to make us believe. Hashtag, you got this.
