On this episode of The Commercial Break.
I'm going to name a new sexual position that one after another.
The pop-off?
Yeah, I'm going to throw a leg over here and a foot over there and I'm going to go,
we're doing the pop-off.
You know what your're your knee pops.
I know.
Here's my boner, my half boner.
My prostate is enlarged.
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break on Brian green this is my
dear friend and the co-host of the commercial break Kristen joy holy best to you Chris
best to you by the best to you out there in the podcast universe
hey I wanted to say a couple of things about some of our nice guests that have come on
Hannah Burner is so very fucking sweet
Remember when Luna L told us not to jet never to judge a book by its cover. Yes. Mm-hmm
I was never judging Hannah anyway, but I'm just saying that Luna L told us that
She is so sweet not only did she come on and we had a fantastic
Yeah, but then on top of that, she,
and I know this may sound like small potatoes
to some people, but it feels like a really nice thing
for her to do for us, is that she shared a post
on Instagram about her being on the commercial break.
Now, all you need to do is be a casual observer
of Instagram, a user of Instagram for like seven minutes
to understand that Hannah Burner has clout
and the commercial break has the opposite
of whatever clout means.
We do not have anybody that follows us on Instagram.
It's growing, but it grows very slowly.
We have no riz.
Yeah, we have no riz whatsoever.
Maybe we don't do a great job of it,
but I just wanted to say,
I thought it was very sweet of her to share
That she was on the commercial break. Yeah, and I mean she just was so much fun. I and you're right judging a book by its cover
I wasn't judging her, but I didn't know much about her. Yeah, and so afterwards
That's what's been actually a really great part of our interviews
I agree with you too is finding out more about people we know or finding out about people that we have no idea about. Getting to know them. Yeah. I think it's been
a lot of fun. It's been a lot of fun. And I hope that the audience feels the same way,
but since there's three people listening, fuck all three of you if you don't. Yeah.
Gustavo, Astrid, and Jeff. Screw you guys. We don't care what you think anymore. We've
outgrown you.
We're big times.
Yeah. And you know, if I, and I just wanted to share that if I was Hannah Burner and had come on the commercial break, I would do everything in my
power to keep that a secret, actually.
I can't believe some of these people come on this show.
It's so crazy. It's so crazy. And you know, uh, blue also is making more appearances
than any guest. She is. I mean, oh my God. We were, who were we recording with? Was it
it was Tom? Tom, Tom Papa. You may not have, oh yeah, no, the episode will be, it just
came out yesterday actually. So, you know, he's a big deal. He, to us, he's a big deal
because you know, we've been watching Tom Papa for a long time and he's a big deal. To us, he's a big deal. Because, you know, we've been watching Tom Papa
for a long time and he's a very notable comic
in our, like in our generation, in our ethos.
And I think he's still a big deal to the state.
He sells out theaters, right?
The guy is great.
The poor bastard had to listen to 28 minutes,
you know, 38 minutes, 48 minutes, however long we went,
had to listen to blue barking the entirety of the episode.
And there's nothing that I could do about it.
What am I gonna do?
We're in the middle of the interview, so yeah.
And we had recorded another episode earlier that day,
and she was silent.
I was notably silent.
And then I thought, good, good.
I thought, good, good, she's gone to heaven.
Yeah, exactly. She's gone around. I thought good good. She's she's gone
She's not outside the door barking, but that all changed
Changed as soon as second Tom Papa got on it says if she thought Tom Papa was in the room with us And she had to protect us
Even at one point so Tom kind of cock his head like he was listening to see if it was his dog or something.
You know, like, hey, you guys want to pause for a second?
And Tom comes on and he's like, wow,
you guys got a really professional studio over there.
And then I have to stop to explain to him that my dog,
the landscaper and three of my children are in the bathtub
within 15 feet of our professional studio. So I'll be back.
I hope that thought, Astrid sent me this reel the other day and she's like pure, the bathtub within 15 feet of our professional studio. So I'll be back.
Hold that thought. Astrid sent me this reel the other day
and she's like pure, green family, pure hell.
And I was like, what does that mean?
So I pop it open, you know,
because that's what Astrid and I do.
We lay three feet from each other
and just send reels back and forth.
That's how we communicate that.
When she's mad at me for something,
she'll send me a reel about some girl
complaining about her husband doing the exact same thing.
Or sometimes when she's, you know,
everyone has a moment to get fussy or whatever.
And I think Astrid and a really good,
both of us are really good at identifying
when a little lashing out might not be
because we're actually angry at the other person,
but because we're just tired, angry, fussy, whatever,
hungry, whatever it is.
So we do a lot of apologizing to each other.
I'm sorry, it wasn't my best today, you know, whatever.
So Astrid sends me a lot of reels, you know,
that is basically, I'm a woman.
You know, when it's like me apologizing to my husband
for being crazy today, and it's like, you know,
doing whatever it is.
And so Astrid often sends me those, I know it's her apology, and I'm like, you know, doing whatever it is. And so Astrid often sends me those.
I know it's her apology and I'm like, oh, that's okay.
But she sends me this green family pure hell.
And then I open it up and it is a lady who's got,
I'm gonna guess 20, maybe 30 Yorkies in the backyard.
And she's throwing this big bouncy ball in the yard
and all of the Yorkies are like, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr say the name on air, it's a total rip off by the way. They got me in on the premise
that they were going to give me some good meditation.
They were gonna do certain types of meditation
that I'm into.
They were like these guided meditations,
a type of meditation that I'm into,
like full length, full like hour long body scans
and stuff like this, which I do all the time, baby.
By the way, I look at my body and I go,
holy shit, you got old and fat
and tired looking real quick.
So this meditation is to make you feel better?
That's right, this is a meditation
to identify how old and fat you are.
And so I thought that's what they were getting me in with.
It was, this is years ago on,
I mean, so long ago when I first got on Instagram.
And so I thought to myself, yeah, this is,
I could use this, you know, 1999, a month I thought to myself, that's a small price to pay for a piece of mine.
For Zen.
Yeah. And it ended up being a portal for shitty conspiracy theories and dumb ideas about medicines
and doctors. I mean, honestly, it's just conspiracy theory 101 across the board.
So not only do I not use it, I wouldn't use it
and I don't like it, but they keep on claiming
it's not them, even though it's their phone number.
I'll call them and they'll be like,
nope, it's not them, not us.
And then I'll call the phone number on the charge
and the same guy will pick up.
And I'll be like, well, this was on the charge.
Nope, not us, wrong Mr. Pickford all together fucking assholes can you give me your username
and password no I don't know it I hated your app the second that I got on it I
don't know it I don't understand it I can give you one of 75 email addresses
I've had in the last 10 years true I have so many email addresses is a matter
of fact it's probably not hard to find one of my email addresses
because all you got to do is just type some random numbers and characters into your keyboard at Gmail
and it's probably my email address.
So dumb.
I was so happy when we finally did the TCB ones because now I know.
Now you know exactly how to get a hold of me.
It really would. It would pop up for me if I wanted to send you something.
I mean, it would be a list.
It would be like 30 email addresses?
10.
I'm like, well, which one's he checking?
And I'd say I sent that to you.
And you're like, oh, that email?
I never, I never checked that.
That was a job I had for two months.
Brian at McDonald's, Brian at Wendy's.com,
Brian at LittleCaesars.com, Brian at ClearChannel.com,
Brian at, I mean, I had so many email address.
It's a testament to my work history.
Yep.
This is the longest job I've had.
I'm being honest.
I think it is.
Me too.
I think it is.
And job, usually you get paid when you do a job.
But you know, whatever, we're working on it.
Yeah, we're being Lucy Goosey with that term.
Yeah, you get Lucy Goosey when, you know, I'm an entrepreneur.
When someone says I'm a lifelong entrepreneur, like I do,
that means I'm a lifelong broke person.
Lifelong broke person.
When you don't say what you do,
when you say I'm an entrepreneur,
that means I'm also broke like you.
I mean, that's what that means.
I rented the car for the night because I didn't want you to know.
I drove a Honda with no headlight with one headlight. Remember that song?
Yeah.
What was that Bob Dylan's son?
Is Jacob Dylan member?
Yeah.
With one headlight.
That was like the theme song for my car.
Remember? Yeah.
With one headlight.
That was like the theme song for my car.
Ha ha ha.
If only you'd had Apple music piped in.
I know.
You could just hit a plate every time you got in.
But trust me, that card did not have Apple car play.
It barely had AMFM.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Oh my God.
Barely had AMF.
I had to get one of those tapes that you had to put in to get a CD.
That was so happy when I did.
Actually, I did have a CD player and I was so excited about that when I got it.
Well, it was big.
You know, the world had long since moved on to Apple music and series XM,
but Brian was so excited about the CD player.
I still had that binder atop my,
you know, that flip down binder with the CD.
But of course, where were the CDs on the floor?
Because that's what I would do,
take it out there on the floor, put it in the next one.
I remember one time in that shitty Honda,
my mom, when we were kids, I think my mom,
and actually I actually talked about this
when she was on one time,
my mom for probably two years straight
when she would pick us up from school,
which she would do every day.
She would pick us up to school in a Toyota Previa,
which was one of those egg mobiles.
The ones that look like, the mini vans look like little eggs.
They were rounded at both sides, remember?
The engine was in the floorboard of the car.
So there was no, there was no hood.
It was just like, you were just driving
this little weird bus.
It looks like an egg around.
So she would pick us up in that Toyota Previa.
And Phantom of the Opera would be playing
because my mom bought the CD or the tapes for Phantom of the Opera.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, all right.
Fast forward years later, I'm driving in the-
How did that work out with your school friends?
How did it work out with our school friends?
I know, and it's blasting.
Phantom of the Opera.
The Phantom of the Opera is out to burn my mind.
Your ride's here.
Yeah.
Hey, Brian, your ride's here.
That egg playing Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Andrew Lloyd Webber egg is here.
And then they would have to like call out your name,
you know, cause we were all standing in this little area
and then they would call out your name
when your parents showed up and which lane you had to be in.
It'd be like, you know, Brian and Kevin Green, lane four.
You know, Brian and Kevin Green, for, you know, Brian and Kevin Green
and Andrew Lloyd egg mobile is here
And we know because my mom would be beaten to it, you know
Okay, so listen so years later fast forward Brian's got his own car and Honda with one headlight
and I go to a So years later, fast forward, Brian's got his own car and Hondo with one headlight.
And I go to a thrift store one time and there's like a box of CDs.
This is when CDs were out of favor.
Now they're coming back into favor like records are, right?
But they were out of favor back then.
So everyone just gave their CDs away.
And so this whole box of CDs
and the lady was at the behind the counter
was like pick five for a dollar, whatever they are.
So I rummaged through and I managed to find three that I like and then she's like,
well, you got another two to pick and I was like, ah, I don't really see anything that I like in here.
But then I see Phantom of the Opera, original cast, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
And I don't know if I was feeling particularly nostalgic that day, but I was like, ah, what the fuck?
It's, you know, I got to get two extras. I think I bought that and I don't know third eye blind or some shit like that.
I was taking bombs taking on the most and the first and the
Back there to the place we want to
So I picked Phantom of the Opera, right? So I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's or something.
I'm newly divorced, you know, I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's.
I'm going to pick a shirt at Marshall's. I'm going to pick a shirt at like later, I'm going to the thrift store, then I'm gonna go take a walk,
then I'm gonna get all excited about this first date
that I have with this girl.
I'm newly divorced, you know, I'm going on the first date,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I get in the car and I put in Phantom of the Opera
for whatever reason.
I'm feeling, again, I'm feeling probably nostalgic
and I'm excited and I'm just like,
yeah, let me listen to the little Phantom of the Opera.
So, and then I get out of the car and I turned it off.
And the girl says, she is going to meet me at the bar
that we're gonna meet at,
but then calls me like 10 minutes ahead of time
and says, I actually have been drinking a little bit.
So would it be okay if you picked me up?
She didn't live too far.
And I thought, yeah, I will, sure.
So I go, I pick her up, she gets in the car.
We're gonna go ahead to the sparse,
like 15, 20 minutes away.
And we're driving in the car and she's like,
oh, I'm so excited, you know,
I was out all day with my friends,
okay, great, great, great, great.
Yeah, you might have to turn on the radio
and I'm like, sure, no problem, turn on the radio.
And so she hits the on button and there it goes.
M-uh, the f-uh, the f-uh, the f-uh, the f-uh,
the f-uh, the f-uh, the f-uh, the f-uh, the f-uh,
and she's like, what's this?
And I was like, uh, trying to like press it off
real quick, I'm like, uh, I don't know.
My mom drove this car before, earlier in the day.
It's NPR, it's public radio, I don't know what it is.
Ah, ah, ah, Chrissy, I swear to God.
That date went terribly.
Oh no.
She was so excited when she got in the car,
Phantom of the Opera comes on,
the mood completely changed, completely changed.
Completely.
She wasn't the right one?
No, she wasn't.
No nookie, no love, no nothing.
The date may be lasted an hour.
Here's how you know what date is going bad.
And this is when I realized that I was like, not the Mr. Stud that I thought I was.
When you're on a date, a first date where you picked
the girl up and she calls her friends or texts them
secretly to invite them to the same bar
so that she can just slowly gravitate away from you
with her friends and leave you at the bar by yourself,
that was it, that's what happened. All of a sudden her friends are at the bar and she's like,
oh my gosh, I had no idea you were gonna be here.
And I'm like, you like these girls would never come to this bar.
Fucking central city tavern. No one would come to this bar.
That was a shitty bar in a strip mall nonetheless.
I mean, it was our spot, but it wasn't her spot, apparently.
Maybe it was a combination of Phantom of the Opera
and Central City Tavern that turned her off, possibly.
But they came, they showed up and she just-
See, I would have been curious.
I would have been curious as to why Phantom of the Opera
was playing, what was the backstory on that?
Yeah, I don't think-
And that's why we're lifelong friends.
That's why we're lifelong friends.
And this girl judged a book right by its cover
But to be fair if you show up in some strange guy's car and he's playing Phantom of the Opera. It's probably a murderer, so
leave him alone. I
Thought I was you know, I thought at least I could go in my head. I won't forget at least it wasn't third eye blind
At least it wasn't third eye blind. Yeah, could have been a lot worse. Could have been Smash Mouth.
And all the rage at that time was Kings of Leon.
Remember that's all we played for like a year
was Kings of Leon.
I thought you played.
Yo, sexes!
Oh, ha!
Oh, I love Kings of Leon.
Those first two albums are amazing.
I loved Kings of Leon.
You went on like Leon tour.
I did go on a Leon tour.
I remember like my friend got the,
my friend was writing for the college magazine,
the Athens flagpole.
And he got an assignment I think from Rollingstone.com,
their first US stadium show,
which was actually the College of,
or the Charleston College of Charleston Coliseum, which is kind of small. It's only like less than it's like 8,000 people
7,000 people, but it was their first on this big tour they had done after that sex on fire song came out
and I'd liked them along before that but I was so excited to go with him to this and it ended up being a
total shit show, but there's a number of episodes where I talk about that. I don't want to repeat it.
But you know, I would have thought in my mind,
I thought this is embarrassing,
but it shows my softer side.
So I'm giving her a little taste of what's going on here.
Right?
But obviously she wasn't a musical theater fan
because she left without saying goodbye.
She did too.
She left without saying goodbye.
She went off with her friends and never came back.
But to be fair, if I was a girl and I had met Brian Green,
I'd probably be like calling my friends too.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here.
She was the right one and thank goodness you found Astrid.
I did find Astrid.
Yes, and now Astrid is.
You bamboozled your way.
Yeah, that's right.
Now Astrid, like that girl is trying to get her friends
from Venezuela.
So she could shuffle off into the night.
Not so fast.
Like my baby does.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
That's right.
No, now we have kids.
You're stuck with me.
I'm sorry.
Right.
All right, I wanna talk about Peter Popoff
when we get back.
Christina Dino, Peter Popoff.
I do not.
I'm gonna teach you all about him.
I can't wait.
All right, we'll be back with Peter Popoff
and the Andrew Lloyd Webber Eggmobile.
What do we get back?

All right, Peter Popoff is one of the OG televangelists.
He sells Miracle Holy Water for a living. That's what he does.
You people-
His last name is Popoff?
Popoff, yeah, kind of like whack off, but Popoff.
He's popping off.
Yeah, he's popping off.
He is just, it's hard to describe Peter pop off without actually seeing him and we're
going to review a video, an infomercial actually.
Peter pop off is a guy who actually pays for time on TV so then he can sell you this
magical spring water that's been blessed by him, this miracle water that's been blessed
by him.
He is one of these preachers, like a number of them,
like Benny Hinn, some of these other people,
who actually hit people across the head
and throw them on the floor and, you know, I'm blind,
so you throw them on the floor and they wake up,
you know, seeing everything.
Such horse shenanigans going on here,
such chicanery that's happening with Peter Popov,
that it's hard to believe that anybody would send him
a hard earned dollar.
But the guy, at least for a while,
was ranked one of the richest televangelists
in the world for many years.
Now, I don't know what's happened to Peter,
but I'd like to get to the bottom of it.
I don't know what's happened to Peter.
I haven't seen him recently,
but of course I don't watch as many
late night infomercials as I used to.
Yeah, I'm usually in bed by 6.15.
So sometimes Chrissy will call me at nine
and I'm like, what is she calling me so late for?
It's crazy.
She's gonna wake up the kids.
What is she doing?
I'm already in bed.
Don't call me after eight o'clock.
I'm no good.
I'm no good.
Even if I'm awake, my brain is mush.
So don't call me.
I won't be able to talk about anything meaningful.
No.
But so I thought, let's review an info, Marshall.
Okay.
And let's see if we can get to the bottom
of what Peter Popoff is doing now.
Now this video is about five or six years old,
at least from YouTube, it's five or six years old.
You heard it here last.
You heard it here last.
We're continuing with that theme.
Much like the guests, they show up here last,
the news comes here last,
you're least informed when you go to the commercial booth.
Yes.
We tried to be in the news category on Apple,
but legally they did not allow us to.
Yeah, their law department, their legal department
sent us a letter.
Legally we cannot consider this news.
It's the opposite of whatever news.
Due to new fake news restrictions,
you will not be allowed to be on Apple's news department.
So let's review a Peter Popoff info Marshall here.
If you wanna watch this YouTube.com slash the commercial
break, the episodes are usually up the same day
that they air, but sometimes they're up a day later.
So just be mindful of that, but you'll Google Peter Popoff
safely if you're driving, don't do that, but Google it
and you'll know exactly who I'm talking about. further ado I was trolling on the internet as you
know I just realized it's been a long time since we've done a video here on
the commercial break that is by design by the way because Brian doesn't have
any more time on his hands to find silly videos yeah we just you know
changing it up a little bit all right right, here we go. I meant to do that. Yeah, I meant to, sorry, I meant to.
Sorry, I meant to.
All right, here we go.
Peter Popoff.
You're watching Vision TV.
Vision TV.
Mother was in the hospital on life support.
The doctor said, you got five minutes
or you're gonna go on life support
and you're gonna stay on life support.
His wife called in for him
and got the miracle spring water.
Wait, hold on.
What?
Listen here, sir, you're about to go on life support.
If you, the next five minutes.
Sir, ma'am, I've got good news and I I've got bad news the bad news is you're deathly ill
There's nothing we can do about it and once you go on life support. You'll never come back
The good news you've got five minutes to call for Miracle of spring water
If we can get that spring water in here stat then you things will be different
Which disease is cured in five minutes?
And when do they give you a countdown?
There's a timer?
I didn't know that.
I've watched a lot of medical related shows.
The new season of the 600 pound life.
I don't see Dr. Nalzad going,
you've got five minutes to lose 100 pounds.
I thought they put you on live support forever.
Forever.
By the way, this is not Peter Popoff talking.
This is one of his lackeys.
He looks like a Peter Popoff lackey.
Look at him. He's dressed in a $7,000 suit.
Meanwhile, the guy next to him has no teeth.
They probably had to take the teeth out
to get the life supported there.
They said, you got between three and six months.
He's out of the hospital, and that was almost a year ago.
Oh! Welcome to the Peter Popoff miracle in six months. He's out of the hospital and that was almost a year ago.
Welcome to the Peter Poppall Miracle Easter Special, a time to celebrate the resurrection
of Jesus Christ. And get your money. The tune could not hold him. He arose victorious over
death and the grave. His victory is your victory. God's word
declares that the same spirit that raised Christ from...
Pisses me off because this is one of the most...
There's so much going on.
I know. This is the Messiah. This is the most beautiful, one of the most beautiful
songs ever written and they're playing it so they can get your cash out of your
handbag. It's fucking insane. And there is a lot going on.
Yeah, there's moving pictures and two songs, I think, happening.
Well, there's the chorus.
There's the chorus going on of the Messiah.
Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha direction power will flow to you today. Jesus lives. We'll touch your body just like a pit of pop-off.
Get ready for him.
That's fine.
I'm gonna name a new sexual position
that when Astrid and I are in bed.
The pop-off?
Yeah, I'm gonna throw a leg over here
and a foot over there and I'm gonna go,
we're doing the pop-off.
Yeah.
I mean, your knee pops out of your body.
I know.
Here's my boner, my half boner.
Ah, ah, ha, ha.
My prostate is enlarged.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
The power to touch you today.
That is touching hurting people around the world
and now he wants to touch me.
There's Peter Popoff right there.
Is that Peter?
Oh yeah, he's got the dyed hair too.
Yeah, and look at that jawline.
I very rarely see people with bigger jaws
than they have heads, you know what I'm saying?
He kind of almost looks like a Herman Munster-ish.
He does, it looks like he's got makeup on or something,
but nope, that's him.
You with his miracle working power.
I'm Reverend Peter Popoff.
This is my precious wife, Elizabeth,
and we're just so excited about-
To get more money from you today.
What God is doing in the lives of so many people today.
Salvation, healing, deliverance.
We've got testimonies to share with you today
that I know will challenge your faith.
Is that right, Liz?
That's right.
Is that right?
Because if you don't say what I like,
it's a backhand to the forehand.
I know, she looks like she's blinking.
Yeah, she is.
Like help messages.
She's got the SOS morse code.
You know, you've been traveling so much lately
and that's why there's.
That's right.
I've been fucking a lot of pussy.
On my private jet.
My precious pussy on my private jet.
So many more testimonies,
but we've been getting letter upon letter
of hundreds of letters every day of testimonies. but we've been getting letter upon letter of hundreds of letters
every day of testimonies. First we get the prayer requests and then we pray and then
we get the testimonies.
It just works like magic. It works so magical.
You have to request the prayer, didn't they pray?
The magical spring water.
And then things are cured.
Yeah, that's right. Only if you pay for the magical spring water, Chrissy.
But that's only, yeah, you have to buy that.
That's right. Here's my precious Chrissy talking, talking out of turn. Don't talk magical spring water, Chrissy. But that's only, yeah, you have to buy that. That's right, here's my precious Chrissy, talking out of turn.
Don't talk over me, precious Chrissy.
Hey, buff off.
Put the lotion in the basket, buff off.
And deliverance, and it's so sweet.
We just love to see the progression.
It's exciting.
It's exciting to get all that money from people.
We're gonna share it with you today.
That's right.
And we're gonna tell you about the Miracle Spring Water List.
It's going to read to you some of the testimonies
of people who...
1,000 bucks that comes from their tap.
1,000 bucks that comes from a tap in there.
Yeah, exactly.
Gold-plated tap is one at house in Texas.
Use it as a point of contact
and see the most amazing miracle,
spiritual, physical and...
Did you drink the water?
Or did you just douse it over yourself?
I do whatever you want with it.
Don't give a shit to me as long as you send a check.
I use it as a godly douche is what I use it for.
I was gonna say you could mix up some enema solution with it.
I just like you to shut up now, Chrissy.
I brought you on as a look pretty,
not to do all that talking.
We're just so excited about all the miracles of Chrissy shutting up right now.
Fuck off, papa.
Now fuck you.
I told you about talking back.
Financial testimony.
Everywhere we go, people want to know
whether we have any miracle spring water with us.

All you need to do it.
But it's not really free.
Right.
Call the number on your screen.
We'll tell you more about it.
Now we're going to go right into the powerful miracle service already in progress.
Here we go.
Wait, how is he in two places at once?
It's amazing.
And now they're just showing some B-roll footage of, you know, scripture and the tomb.
I don't think they actually ever found the tomb.
I think that's a pretend tomb.
I think it's Peter Popoff's backyard.
I'm not over here.
Amen.
How long have you had that pain, sister?
Almost a year.
Almost a year. Don't you believe that's long enough? I'll tell you the old year one guy
Get on with it the 49ers are playing at 12
Get on with it! The 49ers are playing at 12! Devil wants to torment you and oppress you until he wears you out, but I'll tell you he's a liar!
Ooh, here it comes. I'll tell you that tightness is going to be broken.
Oh, there it is. Oh, she's wobbling.
She's drunk in the spirit. She's drunk in the spirit. That's right.
Now!
In the name of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus.
Jesus.
There she goes.
God's given her a divine chiropractic treatment.
Ha ha ha ha!
Divine chiropractic treatment.
Ha ha ha ha! This lady is wobbling around, twisting her head in all kind of ways.
She just kind of vaguely pointed to her neck too.
Yeah, she's a pain.
I got seven children.
I got that vague pain too, all over my body.
In places I didn't even know I had.
You just needed divine chiropractic trust.
It's apparently so. Hallelujah. Oh, she's
dancing. She's dancing. Look at her. Speaking of Herman Munster. Yeah, speaking of Herman
Munster, that's the weirdest dance I've ever seen. Gloria God. What happened to her? Look
Oh my God! What happened to-
Look at her, she's in terrible pain.
She's like, oh, I shouldn't have done that dance.
I don't feel so good, Reverend.
Pain.
What happened to the pain?
No more pain?
Is there a lady here you've got something in your heart?
No, there's nobody in a crowd of 150,000 people that has a thing with their heart.
Peter, pop off.
When the average age of the audience member is 88 years old.
This has been afflicted you for a long time.
You want God just to make it.
Do you notice the same parlor trick that Teresa caputo uses is done by these preachers
Yeah, general questions. Yeah, right
Hey, man, I'll tell you God's gonna make all the organs in your body
Work the way they should I've got terrible gas
What he just shits himself right there
I just shat myself for the first time in years!
And I'll tell you, the Lord is speaking to me even as you're walking up here.
He says, I'm going to turn her tears of sorrow into tears of joy.
Tears of sorrow.
There's just been a distance between even your loved ones that you didn't you didn't experience before now God's gonna heal the she's looking at him like what?

nope not me but I guess I'm up here now with the microphone and all I should pay
attention.
Chasim he's gonna bring you together and you're gonna feel his love and his power
and the love of your family members like you've never felt it before. He's even now touching your body, tuning your body.
Tune it!
Tune it up like a piano so I can play it later with my heritages.
He's wearing a Rolex gold watch while he's doing this.
No.
Oh, but she's upset now. Glory to God. He's putting her blood pressure down. Is that why she's getting so upset? That's what
happens to me anytime the blood pressure goes down, Chrissy. I start crying.
He's starting crying. Oh, it got something's breaking loose in her. There it is.
Oh, he smacked her right on the head.
Now she's running, dancing.
I'll tell you she's got energy now.
Was energy the problem before?
No, he said the heart.
And then he said, your family hasn't talked to you in a while.
And now she's got energy.
What happened?
She had a whole series of problems we didn't know about.
But now she's literally running around the hall.
She's running circles. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen if she really does have heart problems. She had a whole series of problems we didn't know about. But now she's literally running around the hall.
She's running circles.
That's a lawsuit waiting to happen
if she really does have hard problems.
Woo!
I tell you, God shocker!
I look like I'm playing like a down home.
Yeah, they're playing a little...
A little widespread in the background.
Traveling live.
Hey, live, grand.
Hey, live, grand. Dang, dang, dang. background. I like coconuts. I'm gonna move out of the way.

Years years
Well, I'll tell you get ready cuz you're gonna get up and go
Called his wife called and got the miracle spring water
Okay, we're on screen
Yes, he looked like he rolled right out of the bar into the...
Actually, I think he was at a conference.
He just cheated.
He's just really drunk.
He just cheated on his wife.
His wife called the hotel room and said,
I know where you are.
He walked into this conference room.
I gotta go.
Yeah, he looks drunk from last night.
He looks like an old Chris Farley is what he looks like. Yeah
He had excruciating back pain or leg pain. He had excruciating back pain. Oh
Wait wrong one. Get him in back. Yeah, might have been led. By the way, he shook his head when he said you had excruciating back pain
The guy was shaking his head
This is all but
Or shit
Oh, I think leg pain. so bad. He was in tears. He followed other people
or just mingling. Yeah, this is a party. Yeah. Coffee and donuts. It's like an AA meeting.
Did they say, Hey, do you mind if we do some miracles up here? No, no, no. Keep on doing
your thing. We're just going to film. We need to film with some people in the background
instructions. Hey, do you mind faking you have back pain?
I mean leg pain.
I mean back pain.
Thanks.
A miracle spring water and has had no leg.
His is off the medication and has had no,
doesn't need surgery and has a no leg.
It's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
This sister.
A miracle spring water.
It'll do it every time.
I do want to know how to use it.
And you just sprinkled it all over your, they said they were going want to know how to use it. You just sprinkle it all over your...
They said they were going to show us how to use it.
You sprinkle it all over your juicy numbshaws
and then watch.
Watch as things grow and prosper.
Called and got the Miracle Spring Water
after watching you on television
and she was suffering from terrible breast pain.
Oh my God, do you see...
Okay, I want you to notice something here, Chrissy. And I'm going to explain it. from terrible breast pain. Oh my God, do you see, okay,
I want you to notice something here, Chrissy.
And I'm gonna explain it.
So there's an older lady standing next to Peter Popoff's
guy, right?
The guy that's out there doing-
A correspondent.
A correspondent that's doing all these interviews.
As he is saying the words,
watch as she lip reads the words, mimics the words.
Like she's not saying them,
but as if she's reading the cue cards along with them.
Watch.
And got the miracle spring water
after watching you on television.
And she was suffering from terrible breast pain.
Do you see that?
Do you see how she's lip reading the words?
That's insane.
On her left side.
They've gotta have a script.
They gotta have a script.
Yeah, can't free wheel this. God forbid you get paid millions and millions of dollars On her left side is she called... Well, they've got to have a script. They've got to have a script? Yeah.
You can't free-wheel this. God forbid you get paid millions and millions of dollars a year for doing nothing.
She got the Miracle Spring water, she followed the instructions, and the pain left instantly, totally vanished and hasn't been back.
How long had she been suffering with that pain?
About six months.
Six months, our sister was an excruciating pain.
I mean, a pain in your breast.
That is not something you should use
Miracle Springwater for.
And that's also not a thing, really.
Well, no, I have to disagree
because I know somebody who has been having pains
in their breast and they went to the doctor
and the doctor said, did a mammogram,
said nothing that I see, but oftentimes muscles and tissue, especially if you have children,
sometimes memory ducts and stuff like that.
Yeah, it's not.
Yeah, but maybe you don't like, yeah, unless you get punched in the boob.
I've heard that hurts too.
Yeah.
Eating pain.
She used the miracle spring water instantly, the pain left.
Instant. Is that miraculous? What happened to you? She used the miracle spring water instantly the pain left instant
What happened to you brother is when you sent me that spring water I had prostate cancer from the courtesy of the devil
I said you're a liar and I got healed from the past they can I mean this is awful. Yeah, this is terrible that he is
On people that have kids medical conditions. Yeah, but this is the Peter pop-off thing
And for by the way for every one of these testimonials that get done
There are 30 people on the internet that will tell you it's horseshit. They've been there. They tried it
They did it they got their money taken from them and nothing fucking happened because of course
Yeah, and by the way the the mind is a powerful trick,
it's a powerful tool and you can trick it
into making you better or making you sick.
I do firmly believe that, firmly believe
that attitude is everything.
And so I think some of these people may be healed
because they believe so much that they are healing themselves
that that's what happens.
But by and large, most of these people are either not...
The story is not true.
It's fake. It's a complete lie.
Or...
They didn't get healed.
Custodic cancer!
After he used the miracle spring water!
I'll tell you!
This brother here was suffering from something that a lot of people are suffering with.
He was suffering from excruciating back pain.
So bad, he couldn't even work. He
saw you on television, he called, he got the Miracle Spring Water. And now unfortunately
he has to work. And he followed the instructions and his back pain left immediately and better
than that he's back at work.
Brev, you mean when you used it,
the Miracle Spring watered the pain left instantly?
Yes, yes.
And it's never come back?
Never come back.
Bend over a little bit.
Shut up. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Turn around bend over. Show us your black hole son will ya?
I'd like to see your shiny under bits.
All right there is a phone number on the bottom of this.
I don't know.
This is five years old.
Yeah.
At least five years old.
But would you like to call it and see if we can get some miracle spring water
sent to the studio?
Yes.
And ask for, have a prayer request.
What should we have?
Yeah.
Let's talk about this when we get back from the prayer.
Please tell me make money from this podcast.
That's our prayer.
Yeah.
We're suffering from podcast or syndrome.
Everyone tells you you're gonna make money,
but it never quite happens.
And then even when you do, they don't pay you.
Not Odyssey though.
Odyssey is great.
Odyssey is amazing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wanna make that clear.
I don't want you to think that we're upset with Odyssey.
We are not.
We're upset with...
Okay, we gotta take a break.
We'll be back.
Well, thank the baby Jesus.
Brian took a breath,
and now I will use this opportunity
to let
you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right, it's 212-433-3TCB.
And you can text us anytime you want. Or you can call or leave us a voicemail and we might
just use your message on the show. Once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last
year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast.
And of course, all of our audio and video
is easily found on tcbpodcast.com.
Now I'm gonna thank G one more time that we have sponsors.
So thank G and here they are.
Okay, we're here talking about Peter Popoff in his miracle springwater. Peter Popoff
was a late night infomercial guy, like preacher. He would pay for the airtime be about a half
an hour long. Anybody that grew up in the 80s, 90s, or maybe even the early 2000s and stayed
up late at night would have seen this person for sure. It's all horse shit. It's like
Teresa Caputo. It's just a big guessing game.
You find out what people are wrong.
You hit them across the head a few times
and you tell them to go dance around the room.
And of course they're gonna do that
because they are firm believers in what you are selling
or they wouldn't be in the room in the first place.
But there are many testimonials online,
anti-testimonials online,
where people share that they never got healed.
They never saw him.
Even though they came with real ailments,
he never talked to them because he knew
he can't heal real ailments.
But he can heal stuff like, you know,
random neck pain that no one knows about,
back pain that you can't see, all that other shit.
Bend over. Bend over.
Joe's where the sun don't shine.
Let's see that.
Let's see those hairy dingle dangles.
No more back pain.
No more back pain.
But I did find out I haven't been waving my ass the correct way for years.
So thanks, Peter. Pop off.
So what I was interested in doing is what if we called the phone number on the bottom?
I always wonder if these 1-800 numbers are still working.
Let's call it. Now, if you're hearing this part of the episode then obviously it worked and if you're not then you're in my server
And you shouldn't be doing that
All right ready
800
Okay, hold up, let's see's see if we can get this to work
I need just a little bit of information in order to
Bring water that's offered on TV in order to mister to you. I need just a bit of information
to you i need just a little bit of information
i'll guide you step by step through the
the security number or your credit card
exactly
so follow me and i'll put that you receive a miracle sprinter without any delay
here are the instructions
sorry about the shitty audio calling
i can't believe he doesn't have better audio
i know
i've answered each question
it probably hasn't been a phone number in 50 years please spell it for example peter p e t e r now don't forget
to wait for the beat samuel s a m m u u e l l e Samuel
Samuel
Samuel
S-T-A-M-M-M-U-L-E-E.
Now please tell me your last name and please spell it.
Puh!
Puh-t-t-t-t-t!
Z-C-T-U-T-U-T-T-E-W-L-L-Z-W.
Now please tell me your street address or P.O. box number and spell the street name.
Don't forget to include your apartment number if you have one.
Okay, now I'm going to put you on mute while I say this.
Okay, now I said the address to the studio.
Now give me your zip code. I get in the zip code. Mm hmm. Thank you for providing
all the information we need to effectively minister to you. Thank you for calling. This
is Peter Popov saying God bless you.
Wait, I don't get a prayer request? I don't get anything?
No, I just wonder address.
Well, I wonder if they're gonna send it to
to Amiol's, I was like, oh, oh, oh.
Well, to be continued.
I am fascinated to see if they actually,
first of all, they're not gonna send it
because I think they heard us saying,
we're in the studio.
Probably like the 12th time a podcast
has called them just today.
I mean, it's like the thing that,
I don't wanna listen to more of this
because it's just depressing and people,
you know, people do have real problems.
And some of these people probably do have real issues.
They're coming to Peter Popoff with it.
Five years ago that this video was created,
some of these people may not still be around, right?
Because they trusted Peter Pop pop off some miracle spring water
instead of actually going to a goddamn doctor.
And this piggybacks off something,
piggy fronts off something that I wanted to share with you.
There is a decreasing belief that therapists
can help people and an increasing belief that psychics can.
Did you hear about this?
No, I didn't.
They did an actual study where they called whatever,
it was, I don't know how many people,
around the country, I don't wanna give fake numbers,
even though I do all the time.
They called a bunch of people
and they started asking them questions about therapy
and whether therapy was an effective way to de-stress,
to handle your issues, to get to the bottom.
It is.
Like a trusted way.
It is a thousand percent.
Not every kind of therapy and not every therapist.
There are good therapists and bad therapists
and there are fair therapists that just don't work for you.
They're like, they're not the right fit for you.
But I firmly believe that it has helped me
work through some shit that was deep,
maybe generational, certainly had to do with my life.
And listen, I could go to therapy for the rest of my life
and probably still be just as much of an asshole
as I am today, but at least I feel like
I'm working through it, right?
So they did, so they asked a series of questions
and they asked the same series of questions about psychics
and psychics while they didn't have more,
while it wasn't like, you know,
the psychics didn't win, essentially.
They weren't, it wasn't,
more people didn't believe in psychics
than believed in therapists.
The numbers from this decade, from 2023,
as opposed to 2013, had grown enormously.
Like every one in five people believed more in psychics
abilities to cure their problems and help them get through life than
therapists and this is in fucking
sane.
Psychics, telephone psychics, who is what you're probably going to,
don't know shit about you and they're not going to help you solve your problems.
They're gonna take a good guess.
And maybe some of them are really intuitive.
Like they understand when they talk to somebody
about their problems, they're good advice givers, right?
Like a good bartender.
But are they actually going to help you get to the bottom,
to the root of what's going on with your emotional distress
and then help you walk through it?
Probably not.
90, I would say 90% of the time, not.
I have called psychic hotlines way back in the day
when I was a kid, just to see what it was all about.
Is that a thing?
It is.
You can call, call psychics?
There is a very famous, I'm not gonna say the name on air
because it's possible that they are advertising on the show,
which is insane.
So I'm not gonna say the name
because they are everywhere right now.
They are a psychic group
and you call them up and they guarantee that if you're, they don't give you life changing
information on the first phone call, they'll give you your money back, which is a pretty damn
intense claim to make. So you have to give the money first. Of course you do. Of course you do. Please Chrissy. I mean, come on. They're in it for
the money. But in my opinion, part of what is driving this or is the media who then puts these
people out there in front on television shows where they clearly know that the psychics have rigged the situation in their favor.
Tell me Teresa Caputo doesn't have 14 producers
on Lifetime or A&E or wherever she is now.
14 producers that know exactly who somebody is,
what they've gone through, every Facebook post,
every Instagram post, everything.
And even if their account is private,
they follow them because they're the producers
from the show that you're gonna get.
I mean, think about this, right?
There are cold readings and there are hot readings.
Cold readings are taking big guesses
at things that certainly somebody in a crowd of people
would have and then narrowing it down
and hoping you get some of the,
at least half the information correct
as you get narrower and narrower on your set of questions.
A hot reading is when you already know
what someone has gone through
because you've seen their social media,
you know them personally,
or know someone of them, heard them talking, whatever it is.
These television stations put on these fly by night psychics
and they make them rich as shit.
And people love the shows.
They get, they're highly rated.
They keep going on forever.
How long has Theresa Caputo been on TV?
Two decades now?
I don't know.
Something like that.
Her new show is terrible too.
Oh, it's terrible.
And it's the same fucking show as it was last time.
She's terrible.
The show is terrible.
It's a, she's a complete noodnik in my opinion.
And if you like Teresa Caputo,
I'm sorry that I'm talking not so nicely
about a person that you think is awesome,
but I just don't believe it.
And I feel bad for the people that she interacts with
that they are being left with the emotional drama,
baggage and damage caused by her pretending
that she can talk to someone
that they care about on the other side.
But this happens, it's not just Teresa.
There are probably 15 of these shows with different names and faces and they're all doing the exact same thing
They're lying. That's what they're doing
They're lying to get your attention and your money and popularity
Exactly like the commercial break, but at least we will tell you that that's what we're doing at least we're honest with you
Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean I there it might give some people some kind of weird closure or
Solid solid. Yeah, exactly, but it's yeah, it's not it's not real
But no, you know, it's not real
But if you take it as entertainment like we do like highly entertaining stuff that we can laugh at because clearly
It's not true then I guess no harm no foul
But if you are one of the people that comes in touch
with one of these, whatever that guy's name is,
Tyler, the blonde guy who doodles,
the other lady who solves murder mysteries,
and all these different psychics on TV,
if you're in their crosshairs,
if you're the person on the television show,
you must feel an immense amount of pressure
to say, yes, this is working
because there are a bunch of cameras in front of you.
First of all, second of all,
there are cases of famous psychics.
I say famous psychics with a grain of salt here.
Famous psychics who have told people
that their children are dead when they're missing
and they're not dead.
They show up later.
They show up as grown-ups.
They've been held captive.
They were lost.
They were taken by an aunt or an uncle
and you know, it put in terrible situations.
There is one famous psychic.
I think she's dead now.
Her name is Cynthia something.
And she told someone famously on Montel Williams,
the Montel Williams show.
She told the parents that their child was dead,
that she had seen the child on the other side
and is dead and there's no chance of recovery.
There's no chance she's coming back. She's dead, she's passed.
Well, seven years later, the girl was found
and the girl was held in captive
and she saw the Montel Williams show
where she told her parents,
this is and she said that I lost all hope at that moment
because I just wish that that lady could actually see me
and could actually tell my parents I was alive
and that I needed help.
But no, the parents, I don't know,
I don't know if the parents gave up at that moment.
They probably never stopped giving up
unless I can't even imagine
what kind of terrible thing you must go through.
But imagine how terrible for the child
who's been kidnapped and now some lunatic on fucking Montel Williams
Is telling her that I'm dead and I'm never coming back
It's just insane to me that we keep pushing these people out front and giving them such
You know kudos for what for nothing. I Chrissy and I could do a cold reading Chris
Do you know anybody with a foot? I do, that's me.
Oh, it's you.
That's me, that's me, crazy man.
Did you ever get a necklace, a silver necklace
for someone that you love
or someone that you were thinking of?
Yes, have you ever wear a pair of headphones?
I'm seeing headphones.
Yes.
Yes, your loved one is kicking me in the back of the head
and in the ear.
That means you've worn headphones before.
You're nailing it.
Yes, Chrissy, have you ever had a cavity. Yes, Chrissy, have you had a cavity?
Cavity, you never had a cavity?
That's exactly what your loved one told me.
You've never had a cavity.
You never had a cavity?
Never not once?
I had one.
You had one?
That went a really long time without having one.
Yeah, that's what they told me.
They said you've read a really long time without having one.
That's what they said.
That's what they were saying.
Yeah, that's what they were saying.
That's what I meant to say, they were saying.
What is it, your leg, your back?
Thank you for this PSA.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My point is, Peter Popoff and these psychics,
they're all doing the same thing.
They are trying to get you to part with your money
or become popular or whatever it is
on the backs of your misfortune and don't go along with it.
If there are true supernatural healers in this world,
and I'm by supernatural, I mean things we don't think
normally occur in nature, if they are out there,
and I believe there might be.
I believe there might be people out there who could talk
to the dead or heal people. If there are are they're not going to be on the arts and fucking entertainment channel. I am guarantee you
I guarantee you nor are they paying?
You know
UPN
$300,000 to air their commercials at 2 a.m. In the morning. I can guarantee you there's gonna be a line around the block
at 2 a.m. in the morning. I can guarantee you there's gonna be a line around the block
just on their own to see them
and they're gonna use their powers
in the best way they see fit
and it's probably gonna be on the down low,
on the DL as the kids say Chrissy,
because they got the real Riz.
And they don't need your television show.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I know.
Thank you.
Yes, brother.
Yes.
This has been Brian, Brian's bitching. We're gonna do Brian's
bitching every Wednesday on the show. Just Wednesdays. Well, Wednesdays feel like a good day.
Well, we usually have guests on Tuesdays. Brian's bitching on Wednesdays. We're gonna start doing
Chrissy Fridays, where Brian just doesn't show up. I'll read my nice news.
Yeah, you can read your nice news. Nice news.
I do. I get a nice news email.
I know. You like to... you have those blinders on.
No, I just like to be reminded of some of my things.
Chrissy, did you hear about the terrible bombing in the Hootie Rebels in Nivella?
I like a good balance.
She's like, no, I didn't.
I'm like, it must be nice that life you live
I appreciate it. I really do it is a good balance. Yeah, Brian Brian goes into deep dark holes on the internet
Chrissy stays right on the surface
Yeah, no, I like if I'm gonna hear bad news
I have to balance it with some good news and be reminded that the world is not all bad
Well, yeah pass me one of those every once in a while. I gotta get out of the hole.
