We don't care all shapes and sizes are fine. Preferably I like the bigger pickles. Well, big little, darker, lighter, and no matter. There are darker pickles and lighter pickles, okay? Go look it up. Gherkins are darker than a deal. She's been around a lot of pickles. I'm actually talking about pickles, y'all.

Shady Okra's. I like Shady Okra's.

The Shady Okra retirement center. That's where I'm going. Shady Okra. That's some Shady Okra you got on your plate right there. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Yeah, boy! Oh yeah, Gatsigan's welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green, and this is the master of the universe, Shira, Kristen Joy, totally best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian.

And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Well, what is there to say, really? I think we should wrap the show. That was a good episode of the commercial break. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for joining. I'm not going to have to say so many episodes. Just go back and listen to them. That's all you got to joining. I'm not gonna have to say so many episodes. Just go back and listen to them.

That's all you gotta know. I'm out of stories. I'm kidding. I'm definitely not out of stories. I know. I look at the world in a very fanciful way. My perspective, my dad asked me this weekend, I was over at my dad's and he's like,

how do you come up with so much content? And I said, well, first of all, I mostly make it up. So that's good. As long as I have an active imagination, How do you come up with so much content? And I said, well, first of all, I mostly make it up. So that's good. As long as I have an active imagination, I figure we'll have episodes forever. But then he said, do you look at the world when you go around on the daily basis?

Do you look at the world in a way where you're like putting together a story for the show? And he said, no, not necessarily. I don't go through the world like that. But quickly after a day happens, I'll review, right? What happened? Exactly, was that? Is this chewable material happens, like I'll review, right? What happened? Exactly. Was that this chewable material?

Can I make something out of it? And then I make it up. So there you go. I do think of things throughout the day, you know, I'm like, oh, we should talk about that. Yeah. Well, I'm in a, I'm in a terrible, I mean, not a terrible, I'm in a really kind of like auto mode of writing everything down.

I see a news story. I write it down. I have a funny thing happen. I write it down. I have a not funny thing happened that I I see a news story. I write it down. I have a funny thing happen I write it down. I have a not funny thing happen that I think I can make funny I write it down and so I'm always constantly taking notes because it is it is a lot to fill And then I think about people like Howard Stern who are doing four or five hours a day three days a week We're just doing four hours for maybe five hours of content a week. And Stern is doing like 15 hours of content a week. Now he has a cast of characters and I think he can dig into it.

Plus he's been doing it for what, 80 years or some shit like that? I mean, the guy is getting old. I wonder when we stopped. Do we like, I think he's 75 years old, 72, 73, something like that. So what, is he gonna, will he stop anytime soon? Or is he still culturally relevant? Or do you die when you stop? Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah. Like I had a grandfather and he was an FBI agent before FBI agents could carry guns. So he was an FBI agent way, way, way, way, way, way, back in the day. They were just an investigative bureau. So they, they didn't, they weren't like armed services, right? They, they didn't carry guns for whatever reasons. This is what he told me. So in the his nineties, the guy would tell the nurses to send off his resume

at his senior care home where he was in a bed because he had broken both his hips and had colon cancer. He would literally give his resume to the nurses and ask them to send it, fax it to a certain phone number to see if he could get a job. Like a consulting job as a security assistant or something. And he told me once, he said, when you stop working, you start dying. That's what he said to me. And I think it was true for him.

I think when he lost that purpose, he was like, he just kind of started to go downhill. Yeah, for a lot of people. But I am under no illusion that I wanna do this He lost that purpose. He was like, he just kind of started to go downhill. Yeah, for a lot of people. But I am under no illusion that I want to do this into my 90s or even 75. I'm thinking another good year and a half is what we're obligated to do. And then we just sail off into the sunset to do the, I don't know, to do the next thing. Hopefully retire, but at the current rate, I think we're going to break even in 2036.

So we might have to do it a little bit longer than I anticipated. Yeah, we might have to keep going for a little bit. Yeah, I was hoping it'd be like a five-year run. We'd make $600, $700 million and then we'd just sail off into the sunset. Can I get our plane? Yeah, we'd be like those smart list guys. We'd get our $100 million payday. We'd fulfill the obligation and then we'd sail off into the sunset. But

having done the math, I'm now convinced that sailing off into the sunset happens well after the world ends, actually, which might be soon. So you know, hey, I don't know, maybe the things looking up. Do you think people will listen to us? Be your own motivation, Brian. Yes, be your own motivation. Yes. Be your own. Not to be your own motivation. Here's my labia. I got that. I'm coming to you live from the carnival shit house of the seas. Ready to inspire people with purpose and focus. Are you? We're talking about some Instagram folks. You know, we like to, even though we're clearly trying to do the exact same thing in a different way, we like to make fun of the influencers, especially the

beauty queens who are out there showing their ass and their tits and they put some inspirational quote behind it, right? You have to float before you fly. Do you have to float before you fly? Is that how birds do it? They just spread their wings and hope that things turn out or what's going on there? And then they have, you know, they're showing their nipples or the other kind, which is just people who think they're way too, and they think they're way too important.

They have to update everybody about everything that they're doing. Yes, that's right. The inspirational quotes coming from the influencers, not only do they not inspire, I'm not sure they influence at all, unless they're influencing my nether regions We've got one guy that I just I'm sorry I'm sorry I hate watch him That's it and another chick that I just I hate watch and I don't hate watch because I hate them I hate watch because I hate their Instagram posts. They make no sense whatsoever They're like literally take a picture of a half-eaten bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.

GM GM, what the fuck does that mean? Are you assured that I'm watching, that I'm looking at this in the morning? First of all, second of all, do I really need to hear good morning while looking at your half-eaten breakfast? It makes me sick to my stomach, you know? Here at the airport, so early no one's here,

picture of thousands of people in the airport. And by the way, this particular person takes more bathroom selfies than I've ever seen anybody take. It's like she purposefully goes to the bathroom to take a selfie wherever she's going. And I'm wondering, like, do I really want to know that you just shit and now you have a brand new haircut? Is that what you're going for?

You're going for the, I just had diarrhea from my bacon, egg and cheese sandwich at this airport. Half roll's a bunch better now. He's a selfie. Just use half a roll of toilet paper here at LAX. GM GM. GM GM to you. Fuck Twad. That's sort of

The human psyche is just coming apart at the seams and we're all watching it and we're all participating in it in our own little way And I'm not saying I'm not claiming that we are not because we certainly are if there is anything less important in the world than the commercial break I'm not aware of it Maybe the Taylor Swift conspiracy theory with Travis Kelsey and they're getting Joe Biden elected. Maybe that's dumber than the commercial break, but that in and of itself is a high debate. I don't know, I don't know.

But what I do know is I don't care if you just took a shit. I'm not sure your highlights in your hair excite anybody and GMGM to nobody. Nobody fucking cares GMGM. The morning is the worst time. Say, GNGN, like good night, good night. I could take that a little bit more. Anyway, let's move on with the commercial break.

Word of the day. Word of the day time. Yeah, I'm liking this. I feel like I'm expanding my vocabulary just a little bit. That's right. Now we'll write it down in the notebook too because I've been keeping track of the notebook. Did you see my new pen, by the way way? Oh, I did disco ball. There you go. I don't really like it. Oh, it spins spins Oh, it's like a little

What do they call those the fiddle sticks or the fiddlers or I don't know what they call it Yes, something like that fidgets fidgets spinner fidgets spinner fiddle sticks That's what they used to they had a toy called a fiddle stick. It's not this. No, it's not. I bought it. I bought a fiddle stick with that pocket pussy I got. It came with a free fiddle stick. I've used both of them. All right, go.

I thought I'd start off with a little something. We'll ease this back in here today. Okay. Please do. Blarney. Oh, Blarney means bullshit. Mm. Blarney means. Does it? Well, the Blarney stone,

I think kiss the Blarney stone, doesn't that mean the bullshit stone or something? Ha ha ha. You're full of Blarney. Ha ha ha. I don't know, I've heard it a couple times. I mean, I guess it could mean bullshit, but it means to talk that aims to charm,

pleasantly flatter or persuade. Yeah, it's bullshit. That's what it means. It means bullshit. Amusing and harmless nonsense. The commercial break is most definitely Blarney. We should call it the commercial Blarney. We should.

Here's an example in a sentence. She certainly was a charmer as she relied on Blarney. We should call it the commercial Blarney. We should. Here's an example in a sentence. She certainly was a charmer as she relied on Blarney to persuade her co-workers to share details about their lives. I just love that word Blarney. It's fun. Yeah. Is that an Irish word, right? I mean, it sounds like it's got to be. Yes, it's got to be. Origin Irish from the 18th century. From the 18th century. Well, that's almost as old as I am. That's how long the Howard Stern show's been on.

Right. I turned it on this morning. I don't listen to it very much anymore. I used to listen to it a lot, but I don't listen to it much anymore just cause I don't have time. Now I'm doing my own fucking song and dance here. Yeah.

And so I turned it on this morning and I just, how do you have that much energy? morning and I just, how do you have that much energy? I mean, honestly, how do you have that much energy? To do- It's a lot. Money, the money is a big matter. Yeah, when you're getting a hundred million dollars a year, I guess that kind of prods you along.

He can't stop. Like, I think his contract comes up at the end of 2025. And I'm just so curious to know whether or not Stern renews and here's why I'm curious to know. I think the over 70 crowd that's currently listening to him may come over in our direction should he decide to retire. I'm gonna get to Stern's sloppy seconds. Well, Blarney, there you go.

The commercial Blarney, now a very Bon Homie podcast. And if you're interested, it is Quetidian also as it comes on every day and it's completely terrible. Yes, it's terrible. All right, let's get to some headlines. The Grammys were a few days ago and so I thought I would touch on the Grammys, which I'm now referring to as the Grammys.

You are. I just used to be so excited about the Grammys. The Grammys was like the one night a year. I had to watch network television. I mean, back in the day, you had to watch network television because that's all there was. But I mean, you know, when cable came, it was the like the MTV music awards

were the absolute best coolest music related. Edgy. Yeah, a live television show that you could watch. But then the Grammys were a close second. It was like the respectable, like if someone won a Grammy, they were like, wow, a Grammy. And I guess it's still like that. There are so many artists that wanna win one.

And I never will. So I guess that maybe that's why it's lost some luster with me, I thought for sure. You finally accepted it. Chrissy, you don't know how many times. That you're not gonna get to the Grammys. No, you don't know how many times. And I not gonna get to the Grammy. No, you don't know how many times and I was like 13, 14, even 15 years old

in my bedroom by myself and my parents weren't home that I would pretend that I was winning a Grammy and I was up there. Really? Yes, absolutely. I know. Well, I had this whole map drawn out in my bedroom, in my mind, not actually drawn out.

But the bedroom was big. Would you stand up on your bed? I would stand up on my bed. Those were my mind, not actually drawn out. But my bedroom was big. Would you stand up on your bed? I would stand up on my bed. Those were the speakers. Those were the towers. So I'd have the guitar and I'd jump off it. And the way you don't remember, you'll find it here and I'm a little bit. So I'd put my, whatever it was, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, whatever.

I liken myself to the Eddie Vedder. So I would just oftentimes do the whole routine. I'd pick a song and I'd go through it was Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, whatever. I liken myself the Eddie Vedder. So I would just oftentimes do the whole routine. I'd pick a song and I go through it the whole time and I do the thing. And then I had a little line that was the stage, the edge of the stage. And I would, and girls would be, that didn't help you in your later years when you fell off the stage. No, that's probably why I fell off the stage because I was just like instinct to know that there actually was no stage. No, no, that's probably why I fell off the stage, because I was just like instinct to know that there actually was no stage. And no matter how far I walked, I wasn't falling

off. Yeah. But after 62 tequila's on a three and a half foot tall stage somewhere in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Brian took a nose dive in the fog of war, literally the fog of war. The combination of secondhand cigarette smoke that probably came for me. And then the fog machine, I just walked right off stage. Just, oh, there, look at that guy. Oh, there you go. There you go. And meanwhile, the two people who were in front moved out of the way.

They didn't try and catch me. They moved out of the way. They literally took a step to the right. So there I am bleeding on the floor, microphone squealing with feedback. I'm shocked that the Grammys were not alerted to this performance. I think the Grammys were alerted to this performance. I think I've currently blacklisted forever and ever from any Grammy related activities. I'm a liability. I'm really not that good.

But I mean, listen, so here we are. It's so stupid. I'm so stupid. I look back on that and I think, what are you doing with your life? You could have been studying to try and pass high school in a kind of meaningful way. You could have played the saxophone,

which you might have been good at. Had you given it any actual time or effort? But no, I was up there with my, you know, broomstick or whatever up there pretending I had a guitar in my hand. Right. I was actually trying to make my fingers move to the guitar solo's too. So not only did I sing along and pretend that there were thousands and thousands of adoring fans,

but I had to make it technically accurate by moving my fingers up and down the broomstick in a way. I never forget. I was at a party, I'm like 20, maybe like 19, 20 years old. I'm at this party, I think I've told this before and me and this guy, we figured out how to play one song together and we thought we were the next best thing in rock and roll. One song went on for 12 and a half minutes,

it was three chords and at one point we would play the chords so fast but together, right? In opposing directions, but it was like melodic. And I swear we thought we, chicka-dee-chicka-dee-chicky chicken. Take my dick out and you don't stop licking. I mean, I don't know what we were singing. But we get in this room at this party.

It was really good though. Yes, it was so good in which everybody is super high on cocaine cocaine and we're playing this song and there's like a little crowd There's like 12 13 people in a bedroom. We're sitting on a bed. We're playing it We're doing this number And we get done and everybody's like You know Not sure what that was. It went on for 12 minutes, no chord changes.

It's pretty good. So I get it. So I get out now. I'm feeling all proud of myself. Probably just a little cocaine confidence running through me, right? I'm like, hey, yeah. Did you have like the sweat towel?

No, I didn't have the sweat towel, but I, you know, I put my head down. I just acted like I was humble, you know, put my head down, I walked around. But in my head, I was my head down. I just acted like I was humble, you know, put my head down I walked around but in my head I was flying 300 feet high, right? Someone that had actually put their hands together for something we had done Which was a new experience for me, right? And so

So you got that first rush that first I know that first taste of fame Deetee tiner of fame. Now. also get noticed, mainly by the parents at school. Stay away from me. Oh, there it is. Oh, yeah. I heard your podcast. You did? I did. I did.

Yep. All right. Well, this is awkward, so I guess I'll just walk away. What do you do for a living?. What do you do for a living? What does it you do for a living? Oh, I'm a neurosurgeon. Yeah. Uh-huh. I hear they're doing great things in that surgery room.

Well, I guess this has been awkward enough. I'll walk away now and I'm going to go let our kids play together. I'll be the opposite side of the room. Did I tell you about my kids birthday party coming up soon? I'll get an invitation for you. So I walk out of the room and then the party's going on and some song comes on. And the song comes on, I know the song

and I'm doing a little air guitar in the corner, you know, like dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee. And I'll never, ever forget this. A girl comes up to me who I thought was rather attractive. I remember kind of like eyeing her at the party. Oh, shit. She saw my three chord song for 37 minutes that we just played. She's into me, right?

She walks up to grab another beer. I'm standing in the kitchen. She walks up to grab another beer and she says, wow, it looks like you're actually fingering the solo correctly. And I'll never forget thinking to myself, all those years of fake, get air guitar. Paid off. Paid off.

This girl likes me. She likes, never spoke another word to me the entire party never saw her again, but that one moment I was shining in the sun four years of pretending that I was on stage in my bedroom have paid off I'm gonna get laid because of it. Yeah, and you know what you gotta start somewhere once happened We're gonna talk about the Grammys at one point, but then Brian just went off on his own little He said his own little world Hey, well, oh, there's blue. Hey, blue. How you doing?

The Grammys made me think of your career. It's my burgeoning music career that never quite took off as noted by the 600,000 episodes of the commercial break. We reviewed my music one time here on the show. We did, we did. We never got one. Sunny side up. Sunny side up. We never got one.

That was my jam. Sunny side up. That was your jam? Yeah. Sunny side up. What was the other one? Yeah. She's lying on the floor.

No, she's lying on the lawn. I'd like this moody song about a girl who was tried to commit suicide. Lying on the lawn. I like this moody song about a girl who tried to commit suicide. Live on the ground. Yeah, live on the living on the ground. When would she be found? Oh my god. Beaten by her dad. Things are sad, sad, sad, sad. In all fairness, that was kind of the mood of that time. It was.

You know, with a lot of the Allison Chains and Pearl Jam and this. Well, actually it had already passed. Grunge was way over. We are now into, you know. Chickadee Chines. Chickadee Chines was a Chinese chicken. Looking at the clock because it don't stop ticking.

Ba-da-da-da-da-da. Getting french fries with your shoes on. I got no booze on. How can I love you when you think I might be mad at you? Whatever the fucking song is. I hate it. To be fair, I think we were more in limp biscuit territory than Brian was trying to bring like.

Biscuit territory. Brian was going back to collective soul days I was pulling from early matchbox 20 people that moved on they were on to wrap rock or whatever the fuck that shit was It was all the stuff that was at the the the Lollipool or not. 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Woodstock 99 Wood Come on down to Woody's stock. I'm going to set fire to the stage. I did. That was the craziest documentary. That was the nuttiest documentary. I'm glad I didn't go. And it was like the producer of the concert was like, well, I did see a lot of tits.

I know. You didn't think to put a little extra security in the middle? Geez, that was crazy. It all went to hell in a handbasket. Yeah, I mean, I think we reviewed this on the show, but that Woody stock 99. That was a. It all went to hell in a hand basket. Yeah, I mean, I think we reviewed this on the show, but that Woody stock 99, even MTV had to leave.

Even they thought it was too much. And who's the other guy? Moby or whatever his name, remember Moby? And Moby went and played and he was like, we're out of here. We are not doing this. There are too many tits and too many dicks. Like, you know, and I really, like when I watch that,

I feel so, so sad for a generation of music fans and lovers who just went to that show to have some fun and the absolute greed of these, the Woodstock producers, who by the way- They were sitting backstage too, with like these velvet couches and every kind of blues they wanted. Yeah, like time.

Yeah, they had their own set of tits in their face. And the truth was that was like the Woodstock producer, I wanna just share this right now. I know we're not, we're supposed to be talking about the Grammys, we'll get to it obviously in the next segment of the show. But I just wanna share that the Woodstock producers, especially that one guy, Michael Levy I I think is his name was a name,

Michael Levy. Okay. The one guy who the original, they had the mastermind of Woodstock, the original 69 Woodstock was never in it for peace or love. He was never in it for peace or love. He only let the gates fly wide open when he realized what a nightmare he had on his hand. Hundreds of thousands of people had shown up because the word had gotten out on Yaspers Farm that everybody was going to go there for three days of peace, love and whatever the fuck. And the only reason why he flung the doors wide open is because people were already climbing the

fences. There was chaos anyway. He was trying to make the best of a very, very difficult situation. He wanted to make money. He did it again in 1992, 94, 94 Woodstock, I think. And then he did it again in 99. 94, he got away with it, made cabillions of dollars. And then for some dumbass reason, he decided to rent an air force base that is all cement

so that he could make yet more money off the good will of the Woodstock name. And by the way, there are lots of people who went to the original Woodstock that did not look upon it very favorably. They had a really tough time just surviving for four or five days. Yeah, water was scarce and the heat and the sun and yeah. Yeah. And so when in 99, it's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. You put a bunch of kids with a bunch of booze and drugs

on a hot tarmac, and then you ask them to listen to music that sometimes was good natured, but at other times was super aggressive. Yeah, ragey. Yeah, withagey. Yeah, with little to literally rage against the machine, right? With little to no security or oversight.

Yeah, those security, that was a whole other part of the documentary was the security people that were basically like, Yeah, they were kids. They were kids that wanted to go to the show. Yeah. They didn't care. So as soon as they got their t-shirts,

they just walked into the show through the t-shirt away, gave it to somebody else here You you go backstage. I don't want to do that Right and then these poor teenage girls and Who are just hot as shit and they see one girl take their top off and then everyone's doing it because they're feeling pressured by all of these Oh by the by the crowd group think takes over real fucking quick And if you don't think you're you don't think you can be subject to it You are mistaken.

And so all these girls with their tops off, it's just a recipe for fucking, I'm not saying that, I'm not saying it's anybody, like the girls fault that they took their tops off. What I'm saying is, is that booze, drugs, tits, sexual energy, a violently aggressive energy,

like all of a sudden, that is just a terrible disaster. And meanwhile, Michael, whatever his name is, is sitting in the background, telling everybody everything's cool, and let's let Limp Bizkit go on next. Let's let Limp Bizkit go on next. And he even told the guy, he said,

someone told the guy, some producer told the guy, could you please calm it down? Like we need you to calm it down? Like, we need you to calm it down. Well, Fred Durst, I mean, I know he's trying to make a comeback tour and everything, Grandpa, a comeback tour, whatever Limp Bizkit is, but Fred Durst went the absolute opposite direction.

And you shouldn't probably trust a 20-something rock and roll god to then calm the crowd down. Cause that's exactly the opposite of what he did. And you know what I have to say to that? Fun to watch on TV, terrible documentary. And I don't know, I just never, I was at Sunnyside Retirement Center

trying to let people know that it's Sunnyside Up. Like, come on guys, Sunnyside Retirement Center, trying to let people know that it's Sunnyside Up. Like, come on guys, Sunnyside Up. You had your own little festival. I did, I had my own little festival. At the retirement home. One person stayed in the room after we began playing. There were 20, one person stayed. We have to review that music again.

I think it's long overdue that Brian breaks out that tape. Yeah, because we were talking about it, and this is the early days of TCB, but we were talking about it for a while, and then your friend that was in the band with you, is that what happened? He contacted you and got you the tapes. He came to my birthday party.

Yeah, he got me the long lost live tapes of TCB of 33p. Yeah, the archive. And I'm telling you what, I thought I knew it was going to be bad. I had no idea how bad it was terrible. And I'm not afraid to poke fun at myself. However, I did see recently over the holidays, I saw the other two of the other members of that band that like a little reunion, not like a band reunion, but like a reunion of Fred to band reunion. 33p back for one night only. Live at Shady Acres Retirement Center. Get ready to have your dick pounded inside out. Brian Green, that other guy, the third guy who doesn't want to be named. I think they were all a little pissed at me actually if I'm being honest.

Because one of them is a very successful musician, like a very successful studio and touring musician and I think he would rather that just die where it died that day. At the retirement home. At the retirement home. Let it die at the retirement home where it belongs. Please. But nope.

Brian's commercial break needs content ideas. So I guess we all have to suffer. All right, we've gone on the way too long. Let's take a break. We'll talk about the Grammys, I promise. I always have to put me first. Oh my God. All right, we'll be back.

Sorry to interrupt, but that's kind of my thing these days.

I did. I had it on just kind of, I forgot that it was even going to be on. Me too. But then I got reminded of it somehow and I thought, oh well I'm at home and I need to organize and do some stuff. Sure. And so I just turned it on in the background. Well, I would have never known it was on head, after it or not told me or I saw it in one of the trade rags because the truth is,

well, I used to get really excited about the Grammys. The last number of years, I found it to be really underwhelming, just in general, like the production value and the hosts and the... I mean, I used, some people might still be of the mindset that they really love to watch those award shows, but... I don't know who those people are. Some people get really excited about them. It's like a tradition to watch it, but I don't keep up with that. Well, I do have to say this. Let's start at the beginning. I saw Heather,

our friend Heather, McMahon. Oh, I wanted to see her. That was the thing. I saw her on E. She's doing the red carpet. She did. Give her her best to you, girl. You go get it. That girl became super famous. Yeah, right after she was on our show. Two minutes after our show. Yes. You couldn't have waited, Heather, like a couple of weeks to come on the show so that we could piggyback off your fame come on Yeah, piggyfront off our phone, but no congratulations, and she does a great job. She's very funny, and she did the Golden Globes I think she did yeah, all right So she did that and what I noticed was they stuck her kind of behind a railing with e entertainment They stuck her behind a railing was talking about that on her podcast with the last show too

But if they like she didn't even have an opportunity to enter. They were all walking by her and she was just saying things like she was saying things at them, like not. So she would, you know, shout a question or a thing or whatever, right? Like, oh, see, low green, you know, and then she would turn around to the iPhone camera on the Instagram reel that I saw. And then she would be like, that's C. Low Green, you know, and I thought to myself, do they not let her interview the people they not like their publicist

Pull them over. I don't know. I did not miss that. I don't know Maybe he doesn't have as much cash a at the Grammys as they do at At the Golden Globes anyway, she was funny no doubt about it congratulations to Heather But then I watched some of the program. I'll say this, I think some of the live music was good. I really do. I think they did a good job of stuffing a lot of live music in there, which is what the Grammy should be.

It shouldn't be this talk fest or everybody, jacks themselves off and congratulations to you and you're the best that ever lived and all this. I understand doing one or two of those per program, but like in the last 10 years, some of that got a little lengthy and a little wordy. Trevor Noah's great. He knew how to work a crowd.

He did a good job. Taylor Swift actually smiled at one of his jokes. So I'll say that he was certainly in better favor than the last guy who did the award show. What was his name? You know, Chelsea Handler's old boyfriend. Oh yeah, Joe Coy. Yeah.

So I think Trevor Noah did the best with the situation that was given to him and Trevor's a very likeable and funny human being He is he keeps it light There There were so many production gaffes It seemed like to me in the live show that I found it to be hard to watch Let the in memorandum part of it Stevie Wonder for those of you that watched or didn't watch Stevie Wonder

They put him in a piano in the middle of the crowd with a band. He gives this lengthy speech about Tony Bennett, because Tony Bennett died this year and he's gonna be the big name that we all talk about, right, Tony Bennett. So Stevie does a rendition of Stevie's song that Tony Bennett liked to do live on stage. And they interspersed Stevie singing and then Tony was in the background on a video

Singing and then Stevie sang a line and then Tony sang a line and then Stevie sang a line and then Tony sang alone I realized that Stevie is blind and so he doesn't have any visual cues to tell him what is going on But he's pretty fucking good at music and I absolutely love Stevie Wonder Absolutely love him 100%, yeah, 100%. This is by far the most terrible singing I have ever heard from Stevie Wonder and really, really bad in general. He was in a different key altogether somewhere there in outer space. I'm not sure where he was.

He was kind of stepping on Tony at times. They shut off Stevie's microphone at other times because I think he was singing but Tony was supposed to be Oh god, so I realized the minutiae of this must be difficult, right? But then I also noticed that he was playing piano But at times he would like raise his hands and like make these weird gestures to the crowd For five or six seconds at a time when you could hear the piano, but not but it was for five or six seconds at a time when you could hear the piano but not but it was a prerecord it was a it was a track but really his voice like the singing that stevie did was not a track and it was just. Bad i mean i don't know any way to say it bad.

Then. Fifteen seconds into the performance with stevie they show a picture of jimmy buffett but the quick the picture quickly goes away and then tony bennett is back and i'm like wait are we we doing a Stevie Buffett tribute here or a Jimmy Buffett? Are we doing Tony Bennett or are we doing Stevie Wonder? I'm not really sure. I remember hearing the Jimmy Buffett, it was like come Monday. Come Monday, I'll hate my life. Come Monday, I'll interview Matt Rife because he's not so famous anymore. And he's at TCB, the entertainment floor. So, yes. So then Stevie finishes up, wraps up. Everyone's kind of befuddled. They're all like, oh, okay. Thanks, Stevie. And then on to Jimmy Buffett

Now clearly what happened was there was a production snafu. They showed Jimmy early They pressed the wrong button or whatever now they do a little video montage to Jimmy Buffett and then all of a sudden Annie Lennox is up there singing nothing compares to you Which was a beautiful rendition and nothing Annie Lennox does is bad to me. She is good. Good. Good. Good. And while her voice isn't like, you know, the voice from the 80s, it's still beautiful. And she did a great job. Nothing compares to you., that was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then so now we're we've showed more faces many of which no one is familiar with composer Singer pianist, you know, okay, they're probably academy members and you know, they deserve their their do But then out comes John Batiste and now John Batiste is giving a And now John Batiste is giving a tribute to this African American executive in music known as the Godfather of black music, right? And John Batiste is wonderful. Wonderful. But then all of a sudden his brother who died, Ronald Batiste Jr., the percussionist who died earlier in the year is it got like a picture of him and then John is singing

this song and then John goes yeah, whoa, and I'm like whoa are we like happy about that Is that a good thing? I didn't know I didn't know what how to feel about that. I was like are we happy? He died there That was the brother that we didn't like I'm not sure or were they even related. I don't know Maybe they weren't even related. They just shared the last name brother. we didn't like, I'm not sure. Or were they even related? I don't know. Maybe they weren't even related. They just shared the last name. The brother we didn't like.

Yeah. Then we got Jay-Z up there. Bitchin' and complaining because Beyonce didn't win album of the year. She's one of the most Grammys ever by any chance. But she wasn't up for album of the year. Oh, she wasn't? No.

Oh, well then there you go. Why are we complainin' Jay-Z? I don't understand. I guess he, I think he was saying in general, but yeah, did you not laugh. We've got Lenny Kravitz, who will always be cool in my mind. Oh God. He's just like- We talked about him the other day.

He's the most interesting man in the world. He really is. Screw the white guy with the beard. The sunglasses, I think, are- Doesn't. He's always got sunglasses on. It's also smart because he's getting a little older and it hides his lines.

You know what I'm saying? So he always looks young and those dreads just always looking at him. But he's got this like, his nipples are peering through this shirt. He's got this big Prince cross on. And he's like, the godfather of black music. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm like, what better way to respect the godfather of black music than to show your nipples on TV I mean come on you look good in a suit, but put on a suit. What are we doing? So You get through that whole number and then you got you know Miley Cyrus winning her first Grammy all in Dolly Parton We get what was she wearing? What was that hair? Did you see the hair? Yeah, that hair was like a lion's mane It was it was real poofy and I think it was like a 70s type look or something

Yeah, if everyone's going for the mob wife aesthetic, that's the new thing I got an Instagram friend. That's all you know knew that Activate mob wife Whatever I don't know. Jim Jim. Whatever, I don't know. But okay, I'm down with it, right? Okay, you know, mob wife aesthetic, I get it. But she came out looking like half Tina Turner,

half Dolly Parton, half mob wife. And that's 150%, which is impossible. But anyway. Yeah, she had her nipples hanging out too. And they didn't censor them. She even said she forgot her underwear. She always forgets her underwear. I think she's just like one of those naked babies.

Yeah, exactly. You know, I got a kid that's a naked baby, who just wants to walk around naked all the time. The naked baby, you know? Listen, I'm here for it, whatever. It's 2024, do we really fucking care what people are wearing anymore? And if they're showing their tits, okay, fine, whatever.

Just don't put an inspirational quote down below. So, and then you've got Tracy Chapman. That was really good. Coming out of what seems like a very long period of not being around, I don't know. Yeah, you don't see her very much. No, I think I was watching a fast car performance from like 2016, maybe a couple of months ago, so good.

Tracy Chapman is so fucking good. Yeah, it's really good. And she did it with Luke Combs, am I right? Yep. Such a good song. And then who else was up there? Can we just let Travis Scott go? Can we just let him go?

He's dating that Kardashian girl. Bunch of kids just died at his concert, not too long ago. And now we got him closing out the Grammys, like late in the Grammy show. Why do we care? Yeah, when I saw that I was like, ah, okay, time for me to go back to do. Yeah, I'm just kind of-

I'm just kind of over as like dark underlord, you know, jump all over the place kind of thing. Travis has some good music. It's a music that I think is good nice to the ear, right? But I don't care for Travis' personality. Like he's always out there. I don't know, I just felt like it was like, why are we giving this guy props?

We waited the obligatory year after the kids died and now we have to put him back on the Grammys. Do we really have to put him back on the Grammys? Do we really? But then again, CeeLoGreen was there and he's had his own troubles too. But I noticed that C.L.O. Green wasn't anywhere to be found on stage,

at least not while I was watching. And Killer Mike gets arrested. I saw that. The fuck? I know, I really don't know. Mora's gonna come out probably by budget time that this airs. Yeah, well it was an altercation

with the security guard is what I heard. Okay. There was altercation with the security guard Some people said it was because he had a warrant for like a non-violent something that happened in LA But I don't think the police go after somebody at the Grammys like that. I just don't for a non-violent Benchmoren, that's what was said. Well, somebody probably didn't wreck it, you know, like some bullshit happened and he I Imagine Some bullshit happened and he I imagine

3 3 grammies and you know how old that guy is 48 years old it gives us hope Chris. Yes, it gives us hope that someday we too may be recognized by somebody for something I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm saying there's a chance it might or our advanced age Are we? Yeah. But so in total, I think that the Grammys were filled with kind of production snafus that made it sometimes difficult to watch.

Performances that were good and bad. And that a lot of reflecting was going on and it made it feel not so youthful. Does that make sense to you? It does. Yeah. And not that I'm the guy who should be talking about what's youthful or not youthful, but I used to get really excited about the Grammys.

They would have exciting performances by, you know, guns and roses and Madonna. And, you know, It was a big deal. Also, there were not five million, billion channels of other things. Yeah, I know, we keep saying that. But it is true. You're right. It's sound cloud, YouTube, Spotify,

every app that you can get, you're right about that. It's much harder to be a very famous music star today in 2024 than it was in 1982 when you literally had MTV and that was the only way that was the only way you could get your music out there and that had everything to do with PR And talent but PR agents and agents and publicity and all that other stuff. So I am volunteering I'm volunteering to host the Grammys next year and Make it of just a smidge more interesting. If you want technical snafus, bad jokes,

and old artists playing music, I got you covered. Check, check, check. The commercial break hosts the Grammys, two, zero, two, five. Kids, I'm gonna knock your dicks in the dirt with all the stuff that I have planned. I am literally going to roll Lane Staley's old bones out there. And man in the box, we're gonna put them right up on stage with us. While the bear naked ladies do their best rendition of the rooster.

All he came to roost off the rooster. 33B maybe. Chick-a-doodle-chick, when the chicken and the roost end? 33P may be around there somewhere. 33P may make a special appearance, just because. You know you want it, just right into them and tell them. Anybody who happened to be at the Shady Aker's. Shady Aker's.

Okers. Okers, Okers. The Shady Okers retirement center. Ha, ha, ha. Shadyokers, Shadyokers, Okers, Okers, Shadyokers Retirement Center. Shadyokers. I like Shadyokers. Shadyokers Retirement Center. That's where I'm going. Shadyokers.

That's some Shadyokers you got on your plate right there. Alright, let's take a quick break and we're gonna be back with lots more fun. Ugh, finally, I feel like I was waiting forever for my turn to talk. Now that I have you, go to tcbpodcast.com to find all of our audio and video content and follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at tcbpodcast. Wanted to be your turn to talk?

Call us and spill the tea at 626askASK-TCB3, and you may hear your voice on the show. You can also text us your tea at 855-TCB-8383, and boy do we love to hear it. Anyway, take a listen to our sponsors and let's get back to the show. All right, and we're back. I just want to say this. I think I own apology and I'm gonna, mya copa right here on the commercial break, which I don't do very often, but I seem like I'm doing more and more. I don't know if I own

apology or if I'm just totally off base about this the other day I'm scrolling through Insta Twitter or whatever the fuck I'm on and I catch DJ like a young Female DJ and it says you know French Riviera DJ I made a joke and was Mixing this doing a house remix on this song and all of a sudden it's my jam or something along those lines, right? But I had the volume off.

So then I turn on the volume and you know what it is? She is house remixing Creed, the band's song into like a house music song which everyone is dancing at and going crazy. There's probably 150 people in the room of this club, like this daytime beach club or whatever. And they are just going crazy. There's probably 150 people in the room of this club, like this daytime beach club or whatever. And they are just going bananas and none of them over the age of 25, none, not one,

that I could see, they were going crazy. Woo, I'm six feet on the edge and I'm thinking, around people going, woo. Probably were too young to catch, create in the first iteration. Everything old is new again. Exactly. Yes, you're right about this.

Everything old is new again, and apparently Creed is coming back into fashion because it wasn't one day later when I saw Paramount Plus, I think is what it was, had a commercial, and that commercial had Creed in the commercial. Drew Barrymore. Who's the guy who, uh, Captain Picard? What's his name? You know what I'm talking about? From Star Trek? From Star Trek.

The bald guy? The bald guy. Can you ever remember his name? Yeah, okay, Captain Picard, Lieutenant Picard, whatever his name was. Uh, family guy, uh, you know, that that the kids whose little heads are shaped like footballs. Anyway, a couple football stars and they're all in this like massive, probably way huge budgeted commercial. And up at the top of this mountain is Creed singing their song. And it's hip. It's cool. It's interesting. Best to Creed. No. What are we talking about?

You had your Creed time. Bad fact that I had no Creed time. My Creed time was never. I even if Scott Stapp came on this show, which he's been pitched, right? Even if he came on this show, even if we said yes and everything worked out in his favor. And I say his favor, probably our favor. But even if that happened, I would still have to tell him directly to his face, Scott Stepp, the lead singer, I'm assuming is the one that would come on the show.

Even if he came on the show, I would still have to share with him that I am not the world's biggest Creed fan. And I think that's okay to say, like, you know, I don't have to like everybody's music. I don't have to like everything about everybody for them to come on the show. I am not the world's biggest fan. I will say this, and I've said this before on the show,

and I'll say it again now. He did move his guitar case so I could put my stroller in an airport. So I'll have to say that. That's right, that's right. That he seemed like a nice guy. That's right. But, and I know that Creed played arenas around the world,

and you know, they were like- Yeah, a lot of people liked Creed. A lot of people liked Creed. A lot of people liked Creed, including a lot of my friends. A lot of my friends were into Creed. They were hot for a while. They were hot for a minute. And they definitely were the band of the moment for, I don't know, maybe a year or two.

But what, what, what? What are we doing? They're now like headlining Paramount Plus commercials. Either Paramount Plus has no content whatsoever. Or I am just stumbling upon the fact that Creed is having a resurgence in popularity in the underbelly of America. And I am not understanding this. I mean, I have not. I say best to Creed on that. Okay, you be nice to everybody. I'm gonna tell you how I really feel. You be disingenuous, I'm gonna be honest.

Here it is. Creed, yes, there are some catchy tunes in there. And I get it, there's some earwigs. Look, they've been hustling for a long time. You gotta give them that. Chris, do you know the story? Do you know what happened to Creed? No. Okay. Let me just share with you what I think the story is based on my

what you think bullshit version of the story. The version of the story is Creed was the hottest thing since sliced bread and then they quickly fell apart. Well, the one thing I didn't care for about Creed was that it sounded very religious. Even though it wasn't. I know I wasn't gonna say religious. I was gonna say he sounded a little too much like he was trying to sound like Eddie Vedder.

He'd go, yeah, yeah. But there was a million people. There were. Like, you know, Stone Temple, Scott Wheeland, I did it. Scott Wheeland did it, right? And Scott Wheeland did it to great effect. Stone Temple Pilots, one of the better bands that came out of the 90s, right?

Yeah. Still like the Stone Temple Pilots music. And at first you swore to God that was a Pearl Jam song. You were like, no, that first song that came out, you were like, no, no, no, no, that's a Pearl Jam song. No, no, no, no, no, it's not. It's a band called Stone Temple Pilots. Whatever the fuck that means.

So, yes, he did sound a lot like Eddie Vedder or tried to sound a lot like Eddie Vedder. What turned me off was all the shirtless, you know, flying in the air, pretending he's God, you know, Jesus Christ lookalike, Jesus Christ superstar, bullshit. When they didn't even intend to be a Christian band, they kind of became a Christian band.

Why? Why? What was the Christian part about? I don't remember that. Because a lot of the lyrics started to take on meaning to some people in the audience. Like it kind of caught on that they were a Christian band, even though they never intended to be one. And then they ran with it. They were like, oh, okay, we're a Christian band.

Sure, why not? And I think Scott Stapp was like religious at one point in his life. Okay. Right? Can you take me on you? It was all like weird, you know. It was kind of just there in the background for me.

Jesus fetish bullshit, right? Okay. So I went to one of their concerts. Do you know why I went to one of their concerts? To hate concert, yeah. Because my drug dealer was there. That's why I went to one of their concerts. Do you know why I went to one of their concerts? To hate concerts? Because my drug dealer was there. That's why I went to one of their concerts. Literally, the guy was like, you're gonna come to Creed with me? And I was like, no. He's like, yo, me 80 bucks. Okay, sure. Are the tickets for free? Yes, I need someone to go with. Meanwhile, there were like 30 people that went with the guy. I don't know why I showed up there.

I ended up standing around just like, okay, all right, well, can you take me higher? I guess so. People. Was it an outdoor show? No, it was an indoor show. Indoor, indoor. A lot of lights, a lot of fire, a lot of Scott Stapp's chest.

I mean, it was a lot of like just stuff that I just, it wasn't for me, right? It was a little too flashy for me. I like my rock and roll a little bit more, you know, any Vederish. I don't know what else to say. Like put your head down, you're not supposed to be famous, be humble.

But, you know, okay, so they had their moment and there were a lot of people that liked them. I get that, I don't have to like everything everybody else likes, I don't have to like, just because you like it. It's not for everyone. It's not for everyone. Just like this show.

Just like this goddamn show. But I swear swear they are making a comeback and it is working. Whoever their PR agent is, whatever talent agents you're still didn't you didn't do the story of what happened with Creed. Oh, okay. So Creed fell apart when Scott started to get a little strange, like he was kind of flying off ego, drugs and alcohol

by his own admission. And I had known this because I had a friend that worked at a dance club. She was a manager at a, you know, a dance club, a shoe show, a lady of the night club. Yeah. The cheetah, right? She was a manager at the, she was a manager of the ladies at the cheetah

She would see him and it was her boyfriend was the dealer that I went to the Creed show with But he had shown up a couple times after shows in Atlanta or for whatever reason because was he from Atlanta? No No, I think he's from Michigan or something. I don't know But the she would report back that things were not all Christian with the Christian rock band if't know. I don't know where she's from. But she would report back that things were not all Christian with the Christian rock band, if you know what I mean. I'm just sharing that. I don't want to get into, she said bullshit. But so, and every time she said that, the guy that I was, you know, hanging out with, doing a lot of drugs with, he would get all angry and upset. He's like, no, I'll never do that. And his girlfriend was like, yes I was just there two hours ago. That's what happened

so things started to fall apart the band kind of fell out of favor and Scott had some mental health issues, which I don't want to make fun of but apparently it included Not being so nice to his wife and his children There are many many phone calls that he made to 911, to his wife, to these other places where he is clearly coming apart at the seams because of drugs and alcohol or because of mental health issues or because of a combination of all of them. So he was doing a lot of self medicating. And so Creed found another singer. They started Alter Bridge, I think was the name of the band. They became Alter Bridge.

Do you know way more about Craig than I do? Listen, as a guy who trolls the internet, this is just what happens. You start to like osmosis. You start to read this stuff. But then after many years swearing that they would never work together, all of the sudden they make this announcement six months ago that now they're going to do not a tour but a series of cruise ships. Cruise ships. Everybody's doing those cruise ships.

Everyone's doing the cruise ships. And I think they're doing a festival or something like that. Well, you know the world tour is now coming because they are now back in favor. When the 20-somethings are remixing your music as house music, dubstep, whatever the fuck, you know you're coming back into favor. Then Paramount Plus asked you to be the lead

in their promo commercial, or one of the leads in their promo commercial. Things are looking great for you. You have an official fucking comeback. And so I- You don't like it. It's not that I don't like it. It's that I don't-

It sounds like you don't like it. I'm not going to their concert. And I don't know why anybody else is, but that's okay, that's neither here nor there. Yes, I don't like it. I'm angry going to their concert. And I don't know why anybody else is, but that's okay, that's neither here nor there. Yes, I don't like it. I'm angry with them. I want the 33P comeback tour, but no one's looking for it. I wanna know who their PR is.

Well, maybe you need to get in touch with the DJ. Maybe you need to get in touch with their PR agent. I'm setting, setting, setting, setting. Setting, setting, setting, setting, setting. Ha ha ha ha. Hold on. S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s- the rights to the song, so we're all just staring at each other going, should we reissue that? Reissue it. I think you have to issue it in the first place in order to reissue it, Brian. So I, but I have to say this because on this show, not but two years ago when we were talking about Creed, I claimed that they would never make a comeback.

This would never happen. Creed was one of the, was in the annals of history where it should be. And this is where your apology comes in. I'm sorry, Scott. I'm sorry, Scott. I'm sorry I ever doubted the power of creed. Never doubt. Yes.

Lord. You have risen again after three days or 30 years in the tomb. The boulder has moved. You have risen again. You are in fact taking us all higher And While I may not be rooting for you directly just know that through Chrissy. I am really through you. Yeah I don't know if I'm rooting. I think I'm back to the same way. I've always felt about them

That is not not one way or the other Yeah, listen there and you know what if they what? If they're making some kind of comeback, it's been a long road. And, you know, best to them on their travels up the mountain. I will begrudgingly say, I'm very much from here, it's fine. It's like the bear naked ladies are playing some festival here in Atlanta

and my brother got all excited about it. And I'm like, really? Comeback no one's looking for. Yeah. But I will say this, if they have a comeback, as they're making their comeback, I guarantee that they will be sold out show after show, after show, because they had enough fans back then.

And now the kids are getting into them. Fuck, we're all fucked. We're all fucked. We're all going for another round of Creed. We're all gonna say take me higher for the rest of my life. And I for one am not necessarily down for it. But to each their own. That's right. To each their own.

I kid, I act like an angry old man, but I'm really not. I know. It's a put on. It's all a put on. I really love Creed. I've got Creed posters all over my room right here. It sounds like you had a little bit more of a personal investment in what their persona was to everybody else versus what it was. Yeah, you know what? That's right. I think I was a little angry at the fact that they looked like the do-gooder rock band bringing it higher. Right.

But behind closed doors, or behind the doors of the strip club. That's right. And I think I got angry at the hypocrisy that I've learned since was never even there because they never even intended to be a Christian rock band. Exactly. So I got mad at someone else saying they were a Christian rock band and then I got mad at them for being a Christian rock band doing lines off strippers tits. You know what I'm saying? That's what happened. All right?

It's not complicated when you think about it in my mind, but it might be complicated when you think about it in your mind. I can tell that was the underlying thing. Thank you. I'm just an angry little this and hoping that one day i'll have anybody cheering for me in the manner they cheer for scott's house always cheer for you thank you but appreciate it me all right okay enough with the good wishes commercial
