You know, this relationship is basically headed for disaster. And I don't love it because
Starting point is 00:02:19 I love seeing people. Yeah, I do. I love the drama. I love the drama. That's what you watch it for. Of course. There's no issue. Why else would I watch it? I'm not watching it so I can see everything turn out great. I'm watching it so I can see the train wrecks. Yes. Which is the only two storylines I'm following are the train wrecks because I like that, right? The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.
Starting point is 00:02:41 The dirty in the morning! Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the leg washer of the group, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Why is it that you and I can talk about something and we never get any coverage from TMZ?
Starting point is 00:03:01 Well, I don't think we're on the radar. Swellsy or whatever his name is, the Kelsey brothers talk about it and it becomes big news all around the country. Were they talking about leg washing? They were talking about leg washing. And Travis explained that he does not in fact wash his legs every time. He posted something on Squitter, Twitter, X, Flitter, I don't even know what they call it anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Whatever it's called. He twatted, all of you have been fed diabolical lies that washing every crevice of your body and hair all the time is somehow better and healthier. Any dermatologist not in bed with big soap will agree. Big soap? I'm hoping this is satire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Hot spots are all that is necessary and actually leads to cleaner, healthier skin. Byline TMZ, Travis Kelsey, I don't wash my feet either. Dirty feet are apparently commonplace in the household of the Kelseys. Dirty feet. Because just days after Jason Kelsey admitted he doesn't wash his feet, Travis Kelsey revealed he too does not wash his piggies. The Kelsey brothers dove into the topic on Wednesday's episode of New Heights after Jason caused an internet uproar earlier this week when he posted on X that he does
Starting point is 00:04:09 not routinely scrub his tootsies. I know. Piggies and tootsies. It was a slow news day for them. Jason reiterated on the pod that he thinks it's a complete waste of time telling Travis who the fuck washes your legs or what kind of Psychopath washes their feet he insisted he then insisted Travis doesn't wash his either and the chief star didn't exactly disagree Okay, so I don't think you're a psychopath if you don't wash Your feet it's your personal preference, but I think we agree and and I get the feet
Starting point is 00:04:44 Big what what are leg doctors? What's a doctor of the legs? Is there a leg doctor? I guess an orthopedic would be as close. Orthopedics and dermatologists agree. Well, I mean, I guess an orthopedic doesn't care if you wash your legs or not. They care if your bones are broken.
Starting point is 00:04:58 No, exactly. But okay, big dermatology agrees that the soap running down your body can probably suffice for a good leg wash. You don't have to wash your legs every single time you're in. And I admitted on this show years ago, two years ago now, that I in fact am not an everyday leg washer.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Every shower. We agreed on that. We agreed on this. It was something. And I think the feet go hand in hand with that. Now, I take care of my feet. I do wash my feet every night because I'm using the Pumice to Pumify my feet. Because if my feet are not Pumified,
Starting point is 00:05:30 especially in the summer, it's like an alien foot. It just gets weird. And with these pretty feet I have, according to the lady at Publix, I gotta make sure that my feet stay on fleek. I wanna have rizz on my toes. Rizz on my toes.
Starting point is 00:05:44 You got to. Yes, you got to. Yes, you have to. It puts a little pub in your step. Especially when you have sandals. I want you to look at my sandal sunburn right there. All right, there I have sandal marks burned into my foot. I was looking at your foot though.
Starting point is 00:05:57 It does look very smooth. It does, look at that. Good job. Yeah, well, that's the pumice. You just do the pumice. I know all about the pumice. I went and bought a new pumice. So for like, I don't know, I've had this same pumice for like pumice, whatever the fuck you call it. I've had it for this old one that I had. I've
Starting point is 00:06:14 had it for like six to eight months. I think a pumice should last as long as a pumice lasts, right? Yeah. I mean, you should maybe clean them regularly, but... Well, I figured putting soap on it would clean it, but I guess that's not right, because when I would go to pumice my feet, I started sensing this increasing smell of musty, moldy stuff. And I was like, is that my foot? Does my foot smell like that? Yes. But no, it wasn't my foot. It doesn't smell like that. You know what it is?
Starting point is 00:06:40 It's the skin. It's the skin. When you use that pumice over and over again, you got dead skin all over. It builds up. So I threw away the old… and over again, you got dead skin all over. It builds up. So I threw away the old, so Astrid, I said, Astrid, does this thing smell? And Astrid threw it right away. This stinks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Smell it. Pull my finger. So Astrid smelled it and she immediately threw it away. And I was like, that's my pumice. I need it for my feet. And so I went to the store. Time for a new one. I got a new pumice. I got a new pumice and some period products for Astrid. I'm sure the lady at CVS was like, wow. Exciting purchase.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Check out where it is your house. And so I got a new pumice. I feel very excited about this. Good. Fresh pumice. Fresh pumice for my nasty ass feet. And so that's why my feet are so smooth, because I pumice every night. So I do wash my feet. Leg washing, not necessarily. That's not a thing. I don't do it every time I'm in the shower.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Jason and Travis say it, and it's front page news on TMZ. You and I say it, and Joe Dombrovsky wonders who we're connected to, to get guests in our show. Exactly. I don't think we're on TMZ's radar, which I'm fine with. No, no, no, no, I don't think we're on TMZ's radar, which I'm fine with. No, no, no, no, I don't want to be on TMZ's radar. You know, the second you say that is the second the TMZ starts covering us.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I hope not. Actually, we could probably use the press. TMZ, we said it first. No, I'm sure it's a common topic that all top podcasts talk about, right, Chrissy? Yeah, gotta be. All right. Speaking of Joe Dombrowski, Joe was a great guest. We got a lot of feedback on the Joe Dombrowski interview. Lots and lots of people loved it. I really loved him.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Especially his calling us out on the possum. And then I sent you the picture. And then a possum showed up at Chrissy's house. I know. It's unbelievable. It was a baby. It was a baby. We were sitting outside enjoying a beverage in the evening
Starting point is 00:08:31 and all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye, I see a little baby possum. You know what? Running over and then it just stood there and it was scared. It's hard to dislike a baby anything. I know. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:42 And I was like, first of all, this is weird because we just had a whole talk about possums and I've never seen a possum at my house before out in the yard. And I think it had gotten lost maybe from its family, which I felt bad about. But what am I going to do? Well, it's probably it's dad is like sitting out in the middle of the road somewhere with a tire mark on it. I mean, those things, they just don't get out of the way. I think are those one of the animals that get like, like deer in the headlight type thing? I think so. I think so too. They can't see they're blind or something. But the opossum drama continues here at the commercial break,
Starting point is 00:09:13 because we got someone that wrote in that said, you're saying it wrong, it's opossum. It's opossum, not possum. And so Astrid said, you're saying it wrong, because we even say it opossum. Like in the English translation of opossum is opossum, not possum. And so I said, no, that can't be true. I've been writing it possum my entire life. It's been possum my entire life. So when did it turn into opossum? Like opossum! No, you don't sound like I'm calling it.
Starting point is 00:09:40 I'm saying it's opossum. So in fact, Astrid was correct and I was correct. It can be said either way. Oh possum or possum. Either way. Either way. I'm sticking with possum. Still don't like possums. Oh possums or possums, still don't like them. So, my mind has not been changed. Well, I like the baby. I felt bad for the baby. Well, it's really hard to dislike a baby. Right. Anything. A baby anything, let alone a baby possum. Do you know what I'm saying? So the drama continues. Commercial break is in fact possum haters.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And so Joe united with us. Except for babies. Except for babies. Okay, baby possums get a, after they turn one, I hate them. But before one, they're fine. I'll leave them alone. Small babies, good.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, small babies, good. Big ones, no. That's right. Pee-pee-poo- poo poo in the diaper, good. It's just like kids are dogs. Puppies don't stay puppies forever, they eventually turn into dogs. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Right. They're cute as a button until they start chewing your legs off your $10,000 furniture. Then you fucking hate them. Case in point blue. Case in point blue. I wish blue was chewing on the furniture. That would be the, I would accept that as a good alternative
Starting point is 00:10:43 to what's actually going on in this house. Blue. Fucking blue, man. Oh, man. I'm not going to get into it. I'm not going to get into the 3000th story about blue, waking the baby up, shitting on my feet, whatever. Anyway, so, okay, under one years old, possum good. Over one years old, possum bad. And I don't care if you call it opossum or possum. And I know that there's one particular person out there who really dislikes our stance on possums, but I'm sorry to say they are weird, strange animals who really skeeve me out. They're like roaches. Do you find roaches to be friendly? Are you a roach lover? No one is a roach lover. No one. You want to know why? Because they're weird, disgusting animals.
Starting point is 00:11:25 They crawl around your walls. Yeah, really fast. They skeeve you out. They're like in the middle of the night, they're crawling against walls. It's the same thing that possums do. The same thing. They're in your trash. They're walking around walls. They crawl out at night. They're under your porch. You never know where they are until they show up at Chrissy's house to have a drink with her and Jeff. Okay? Just, that's's all agree possums are not saying kill them. I'm just saying, you know, I don't know what I'm saying. What I'm saying is I don't like them. That's what I'm saying. And that's okay. And that's okay. And neither does Joe for the record.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I think Joe's on our side about this one. He seemed to be. Or at the very least he's on the side of shitty internet comments. Exactly. Leaving dumb reviews. But I think this person actually wrote a long email to us once. And Astrid was trying to find it. I don't know if he'd been successful. And that we haven't, because I would have it if we had.
Starting point is 00:12:18 But she swears, up and down. And I remember her telling me this, that someone had written in and given this long soliloquy on possums and why we should take given this long cylindrically on possums and why we should take a second look at our opinion on possums. Now I put a call out to the audience earlier this week, asking them to, if you can find that clip of us,
Starting point is 00:12:35 I'd buy you coffee for a week. That still stands. I haven't had anybody- No one's taking you up on it. No, because no one's listening. So I'm just talking to myself. I'm just talking to myself. We're just talking to each other.
Starting point is 00:12:47 But if you do know, if you remember, if you can find the clip of me talking about opossums or possums in my stance on them originally on the show, I'm not talking about when Joe told us about this review, then I'll buy you coffee for a week. Whatever your favorite coffee shop is, I'll send you a gift card to it. But I'm just, I- Jared Sussman I'm not sure what their attributes are. And I'm sure they have some. But I'm not quite sure. Because, you know, like if you have a spider that can be good for the bugs or, you know, a cat running around outside can be good for the rodents. Jared Sussman Let me tell you about spiders. I don't like spiders either. Danielle Pletka Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Jared Sussman But I will deal with them under certain circumstances because I understand that they are eating the creatures that I really don't want. There are like house spiders that will eat roaches and flies and gnats and stuff that you don't actually want in your house. So, they're a necessary evil as far as I'm concerned. Danielle Pletka Right. Jared Sussman Now, there are- Danielle Pletka Speaking of spiders, have you ever seen one of those that's the, it's got all the different colors on it? They're the Japanese Goro spiders.
Starting point is 00:13:49 I remember seeing this one that was in between two bushes at my grandfather's house and it had this elaborate web and it was beautiful. I didn't want to mess with it. It looked like it was doing its work and it was gorgeous. Are you talking about this spider, the Joro spider? Maybe, I just remember it being black and it had yellow, like bright yellow. This is it. It's called the Joro spider. It's from Japan.
Starting point is 00:14:15 It originally was found here in Georgia. They think because of the port of Savannah, it got brought over on shipping containers. It's an invasive species and it's made its way up the East coast and they are now flying. The Joro spider can be four to five inches in diameter. It's big.
Starting point is 00:14:32 It's huge. Like maybe the size of my hand. I have seen a number of them on corners on the outside of my house. And the pest control guy was like invasive species, I'm going to kill it. Sometimes I leave spiders alone, but I'm going to kill these because they're invasive species and they'll eat all the other spiders or whatever they do. I don't know. They're poisonous and they can like, you know, they eat bugs and stuff like that, but they can also kill the spiders that you really need. So piggybacking on the possum thing, spiders serve a purpose except for the Joro spider.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Except for the invasive one. They serve a purpose in Japan. They serve a purpose in Japan, They serve a purpose in Japan, but they are out of their own element when they're here in the United States. And so now New York is waiting for what they're calling spiderpocalypse, because they do very well in cities, they breed fast, they lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and they can make parachutes. They actually like tall buildings, and they have been known to make their own parachutes and they can make parachutes. They actually like tall buildings and they have been known to make their own parachutes and fly from building to building. Not even kidding. Wow.
Starting point is 00:15:30 That is a nightmare come alive. Spider apocalypse. Spider apocalypse. I am not interested in spiders that build parachutes. Anything that is better at building things than I am, that is not a human being, is pretty much on my shit list. Do you know what I'm saying? Right. We're just interested in watching Franky B go down in a parachute. Not, not, not. Oh, God, I'd love to see.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Well, no, it's at the beginning of his new intro. Oh yeah, he jumps out of the plane. He's doing parasailing and he just lands on the beach. He's so crazy. So I'll give you, remind me in the next segment to tell you about Frankie B and why I think our listeners may be poking the bear a little bit too much. I'm going to implore my, our listeners to calm down a little bit on Frankie B. But okay, so, let's talk about the opossum a little bit. The Virginia opossum is the only species found in the United States and Canada. It is often simply referred to as an opossum. And in North America, it is commonly referred to as…
Starting point is 00:16:28 There's no O on the spelling, is there? Opossum. Oh, okay. Okay, but it's… You can spell it either way? Yes. It's simply referred to in North America mostly as opossum, not opossum. Okay, so listen, they have definitely been, they are 20 million years old. They come from there.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Right. That's what the review said. Yes. They're very old. Got it. Check. They probably came from the Amazon region. Their diet consists of rodents, birds, eggs, frogs, plants, fruits, and grain.
Starting point is 00:17:01 In other words, they eat anything that they see, like goats, right? Some species may eat the skeletal remains of rodents and roadkill. Oh, God! In captivity, they will also eat dog food, cat food, and human food waste. So, this is what they do. They are immune to the venom of rattlesnakes and pit vipers, and regularly prey upon these snakes." Okay, all right, all right, okay, well, I guess you're doing something good out there. All right, all right. One point opossum, ten points prion. Okay, still beating you on this one. Some authors have suggested this adaptation, oh wait, hold on one second, similar adaptations are seen in other small predatory animals such as mongooses and hedgehogs.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Opossum's Correlative Vipers have been suggested as an evolutionary arms race. Some authors have suggested this adaptation originally rose as a defense mechanism to allowing a rare reversal of evolutionary arms race where the former prey has become the predator. In other words, they have defended themselves. The phaerthalans, one of the most venomous snakes, that has nothing to do with opossums, that's what can kill them. So, they're found everywhere, north, central, South America, as far north as Canada, and, you know, they eat trash, That's what they do. Look, Miranda's messing with an opossum right now. My daughter's just losing it right now. She's got an earache. She's,
Starting point is 00:18:31 poor thing's miserable. I just don't, I'm just not, I don't see my mind getting changed on opossums or opossums anytime soon. No matter how you say it, I just don't know what purpose they serve in my trash can. Do you know what I'm saying? Now, I'm not going to kill them. I want to be clear. If I haven't yet put Blue down, I'm not going to go out of my way for opossums. They bother me a lot less than Blue does. But I'm telling you right now, they're ugly little alien creatures and I'm not a fan. If you want to be a fan, be a fan.
Starting point is 00:19:00 But what drives me crazy about this one review, what really drives me crazy, is seriously, are you going to choose possums over the commercial break? Are we that bad? Are we that terrible? I mean, I realize we are not like the cream of the crop comedy podcast. I realize we are not like best in class comedy podcast. Possums? We can't be better than possums?
Starting point is 00:19:22 We hit a nerve. Oh, Chrissy, we are so fucked. I don't even know. Why are we bothering? Why do we bother? We put so much effort into this thing. And then I say one thing about possums and everybody's running. Imagine I was talking about politics. Oh, we're not going there. No, thank you. All right, let's take a break. I'm going to diagnose my daughter and find out what's going on. And then we'll be back.
Starting point is 00:19:46 What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio, video, and TCBDO. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at tcbpodcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB Podcast.

Starting point is 00:20:37 This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. It is hard to believe that half the year is gone, and each year seems to go by faster and faster. But at this halfway point, I think it's a good time to stop, look at some of the accomplishments. And of course, it's also important to check in and see what kind of progress I can make for the other half of the year.
Starting point is 00:20:55 One of the people who's been instrumental in helping me do this and stay focused on the tasks that feel important in my life is my therapist. We talk about therapy a lot here on the show. Chrissy and I are big proponents of it. We do not shy away from sharing our excitement around therapy because it really does work. Therapy can help you smooth out the rough spots in your life, but it can also be a place where you can stop for an hour and think about the things that you are doing right. I've said it before and I'll say it
Starting point is 00:21:20 again. Therapy is awesome in the bad times. It is awesome in good times, and everything in between. And so if you're thinking about starting therapy or you've had therapy in the past and maybe you're thinking about re-engaging a therapist, might I suggest you try our sponsor BetterHelp?

I do want to say to the commercial break audience right now, guys and girls and possums, possum lovers everywhere, we do not want to ruin a good thing. And by leaving comments on Frankie B's YouTube channel that is clearly coming right out of my mouth onto
Starting point is 00:24:05 the YouTube comment section is not going to help us stay under the radar. If we want this train to continue, we have to do it, we have to have a little bit of tact. So while I appreciate the hilarity and it is pretty funny that the comments that are being left on some of his videos, while it is pretty funny, can we just like calm it down just a little bit? Because now I know that Frankie is deleting comments that are left that are clearly from the commercial break. So like someone said on the latest video that we did, latest breakdown of how you eat right in your 60s, 70s, where he's making these juices, smoothies. With like 20 ingredients. Yes. Someone said, high T, low T, no hard P. Someone else said,
Starting point is 00:24:55 can you tell me how I can make a million dollars using your salon? Sweee. They had sweee, like W, S-W-E-E-E-E-E. Well, it was only a matter of time. It was only a matter of time. Well, this has been going on for years, by the way. But it's been one or two random here or there. S-W-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E- The goal. If I pull my curtain back a little bit, if I pull up my dress a little bit, I'll give you a sneak peek. My goal is to eventually have Frankie with us in some capacity. Yes. Not like a permanent member of the show, but someone that pops in and out and we can have fun
Starting point is 00:25:35 with it live, like ask him questions and live. And I'm waiting for the perfect moment to pull that trigger, but it's going to be ruined if he thinks he's going to get, you know, smashed with just shitty comments all over the place. So let's be a little bit nice, let me do the talking on behalf of the commercial break. And then you guys send him emails, don't put it on, don't put it on public on his YouTube channel. Go to someone on swees.com. Oh my gosh. All right. hey, I wanted to talk about something real quick, Chrissy. This is not a commercial, but we did get sent, we did, were sent a cool little game that you can play.
Starting point is 00:26:14 It's interactive. It's interactive. It's a music game, music related game called the Hitster. So me and one of my family members were playing this the other day and Hitster is a game that connects to your Spotify, if you have Spotify, you can play with Apple Music or whatever, connects to your game. And basically there's two ways to play it.
Starting point is 00:26:28 One way to play it is that you try and put the, so let me give you an example. I'll just show you, okay? You take out a card, the card has a QR code on the back. You scan that QR code, it pops up your Spotify, it plays the song that is on the other side of the card, along with the year the song was a hit, right? So here's an example. We wanted to play it on air, but we don't think we can get the song rights.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah, I don't think I can legally. I think I legally have the rights to play the songs. But 21 Pilots had a hit called Stressed Out in 2015. So I would start making a timeline guessing what years these hits were made. So, Whitney Houston's, I Will Always Love You came out in 1992. So, I would start to build a little timeline. And if I get 10 cards in that timeline correct, then I win the game. But there's another way to play it, which is kind of like name that tune, which is you
Starting point is 00:27:18 scan the QR code and you guess the song title and the artist, not necessarily having to do with the year. You don't have to get the year exactly right, you just have to get like a range of years. Right. Can you determine within a year or two on your timeline when that song was a hit? The other way of playing it, which I had a little bit more fun with, was like kind of guessing which name and which artist and which name, because they're all hits. So it's likely you've heard most of them, right? There's some random ones in there that I didn't know, but it was a lot of fun. We played for like an hour. I had a good time. And so I want to thank Hitster for sending
Starting point is 00:27:55 the game to us. I just appreciate that they care enough to send us a free game in hopes that I will inspire a million of you to go buy the game. So, hitster, it's a game you can buy. Music games are fun. Music games are fun, especially like when you're drinking. I like, you know, it's like, say you have... I find that once you're over five people at a particular get together, board games, games are probably not the thing to do,
Starting point is 00:28:22 but you're having an intimate get together, and you've gotten done with dinner, and you have a few glasses of wine in you, that's a good time to break out the board games and the cocaine. Just letting you know that. Right. Followed by heroin, speedball it into some Xanax and you'll take a good nice nap for a couple of days. Saturday night. Saturday night out, Saturday night at Chrissy Holtley's house. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:28:48 As your daughter says. Not in her house. Someone else's house altogether. Rachel's house. So thanks, Hitster, for sending the game. We did play it. We had a good time. And check it out. I think it's hitster.com, you can go to it and check it out. I'll put a link in the show notes. It's hitster-app if you wanna check it out. Okay, so I wanna talk to you about something, Chrissy. It's very important.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I hope you're ready for this conversation. I guess. It is Men's Health Mental Health Awareness Month in June. That's good. And so let's take this with a degree of seriousness that I know the commercial break has inside of it. It is Men's Health, Mental Health Awareness Month in June. Okay, that's good. And so, let's take this with a degree of seriousness that I know the commercial break has inside of it. We have this inside of us, we just need to flex that muscle a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Dig deep. Yeah. You know, I know a lot of men who have suffered greatly, and I think unnecessarily, because they are embarrassed to talk about their mental health. You know, I can think of family members who had took a real long time to admit that maybe they needed to get some kind of professional help, like a therapist or a psychiatrist or whatever it was, because they weren't feeling good.
Starting point is 00:30:00 And, you know, whether that's temporary depression or a more serious version of a mental health disease, they were afraid to do that because men typically don't talk about this stuff with each other or to anyone else. Yeah, we're not good at that. I mean, I'm putting a broad stroke on this, but you get what I'm saying. And I think it's much more acceptable in 2024 to say, I'm going to go see a therapist or I'm having trouble, you know, I'm feeling low and I'd like to go see a therapist. It's much more acceptable than it was even 20 years ago. And thank goodness, but I still think there's a large subset of the male culture that doesn't address these things because they think somehow it's a weakness or somehow it's going to mean I'm not good enough or I'm sick or I'm going to be painted with this.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yeah, or like, I can handle it on my own. Yeah, I can handle it on my own. The truth is that very rarely, I think, can you handle it on your own. When you're really going through a bad time, you need people in your corner. And whether that's professional help or whether that's some friend or a family member, a sibling, whatever it is, I think that we as a gender, as a group, need to admit that we fall short in this way and that we need to up our game and allow each other space to talk about feelings that are otherwise sometimes just hidden. It's just, because I can remember like when I was a kid and I look at all the male figures in my life, and all of them were very strong men. And they weren't mean men, they were strong men. And they very rarely-
Starting point is 00:31:34 Stoic. Yeah, stoic. And they never really showed emotion, and they never admitted that they were having a hard day. And, you know, they were silent, they were like suffer in silence kind of people. And that's Irish Catholic male from Chicago. Like, that describes Irish Catholic male from Chicago to a T, suffer in silence. That's what you do. You are the strong one. You're the Gibraltar. You've got to keep steady with everybody else. But I could also know from some of those same men years later that they admit that wasn't the healthiest approach.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Exactly. And that it wasn't good. And now they've, you know, especially my dad, I can think of, has done a 180 degree turnaround because he at some point just said, you know what, I can't do this on my own. Mm hmm. And he had a really difficult period there for about 25 years. It was called Brian from zero to 25. When I'm sure he just needed a therapist to guide him through raising such an asshole. Right? But I wanted to share that I go to therapy, Chrissy goes to therapy, some of my brothers go to therapy, a lot of the men in my wider circle of friends
Starting point is 00:32:47 go to therapy, and a lot of us also, you know, once a year, twice a year, we'll get together and just spend a couple of days like, hey, let it out. Whatever it is, let it out, we're here for you. That doesn't mean I'm going to write you a check if you're having money problems. It doesn't mean I can solve your relationship issues, but it means you can talk about it at the very least. And I think it's an important topic that needs to be discussed because I believe that lonely men who do not know how to deal with their feelings about life in 2024 are dangerous to society. They are dangerous to society. And it starts with you. It starts with you admitting that maybe you're not
Starting point is 00:33:26 feeling well, maybe you're having some thoughts that are dangerous, that are violent, that are depressive, that are sad, maybe you're lonely. There are people out there who can help you. You don't have to do this alone. Maybe you're feeling even suicidal. You don't have to do this alone. No one has to do it alone. It takes a village to raise a human, period and a sentence. And I encourage everybody out there to hold some space for yourself. And it's okay to be aware that you're not doing well. And it's okay to reach out and say, I just need some help. And some people don't know how to get started with it either. They don't know how to get started with it either.
Starting point is 00:34:05 So, you know, there's definitely local resources in each city, town that, you know, Google it, look it up, start somewhere, you know, and not every therapist is going to be right for you. Now, you might have to, you know, you might have to switch a couple different ones. But, you know, eventually, it really does help. It's like a tune up for your car. The car will break down if you don't keep up with the maintenance. It's a release valve, it's a tune up, it's someone to talk to, it's a third party, independent.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I'm talking about therapy specifically, but this is not a commercial, so we're not talking about a specific mental health company or therapist or therapy company. I'm literally sharing this because I think it's an important topic and I do believe that lonely men in this country specifically are having a really tough time of it and I think lonely men are dangerous. That's what I think. I think lonely anybody is dangerous, but I think lonely men who don't know how to deal with their repressed feelings are super dangerous to themselves and to other people. And I don't mean that like necessarily in a violent way, like they're going to be a serial killer tomorrow. What I mean by that is, is that, you know, when the mental health of a community takes a dive in general, that can't be good for
Starting point is 00:35:24 anybody that is in relative contact with that community. Period, end of sentence. And like it or not, males are here, we're probably going to be here for a hot minute, so I think we need to learn how to deal with some of this stuff. I agree. So, I encourage you as a man specifically, since it's Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, I encourage you specifically men to put some self-awareness on it, hold some space for yourself and get help, reach out,
Starting point is 00:35:51 talk to friends, talk to family. And you know what really brought this on? What's that? So, I think I've told this story before, but maybe it was like a decade and a half ago, 10, 15 years ago, I got a phone call that I never expected to get, that one of my dear friends, when I worked in the restaurant business, had jumped off a 21-story building here in Atlanta. That's awful. If you had ever met this guy, his name is Burke Boger,
Starting point is 00:36:17 if you had ever met Burke, he was the life of every party. He was universally loved. He was a guy that would walk into a bar. Maybe 50% of the people already knew him and the other 50% of the people were going to get to know him. He was just that guy. He wore a suit and a tie everywhere. He dressed like a blues brother. He wore sunglasses at night. He was an energetic, absolutely the kind of guy you needed on a bad day. If you had a bad day, Berkwood would make you smile. He was funny. He was engaging. He was an energetic, absolutely the kind of guy you needed on a bad day. If you had a bad day, Burke would make you smile. He was funny, he was engaging, he was personable, he was a great
Starting point is 00:36:50 friend to have, and never not once, maybe with the exception of one time when we were like really fucked up one night, did I ever get an inkling that Burke may have been struggling with his mental health. And when I got that phone call 10 years ago, whenever it was, it absolutely devastated me, devastated me. And Burke had called me about a month and a half earlier and I didn't return his phone call. I was busy, I couldn't get to it, whatever. I'll call him back, whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:37:21 He had called me and I never answered that phone call and it sticks in my craw to this day that I never picked up that phone to talk to. And he called me at like a weird hour. It was like 12 45 at night, right? 12 45 in the morning, whatever. And I understood like reflecting on it, maybe he was drunk, maybe he was whatever and he needed to talk to somebody. And he picked up the phone to call his old friend Brian, and Brian didn't answer because Brian was too busy or whatever. Now, I realized that maybe I could have changed the course of history, maybe not, but it just reminded me that if this guy, if this dude, the most unlonely person in the world, the guy who could make a friend with a fucking bar chair was suffering with his mental health, then
Starting point is 00:38:03 there must be so many others that you look at and that you think, that guy's got it together. That guy, you know, he's on top of the world. The world is his oyster. There are so many more people that suffer in silence needlessly, needlessly. So I know this is not the funniest segment the commercial break has ever put together,
Starting point is 00:38:21 but I think it's an important one. And I would encourage anybody, male or female or whatever, that is suffering in silence to reach out and get help, whatever that looks like for you. But specifically for men, it's okay to talk about your feelings. And it's okay to say, I'm not okay. It's okay to say, I'm not okay. Beth Dombkowski Definitely. Jared Svelter Just ask Chrissy. She gets that phone call from me about three times a week. She called me yesterday, she said, what are you doing? I said, or I called her and she said, what are
Starting point is 00:38:50 you doing? I said, I'm staring at the bottom of the pool wondering how long it would take me to get to it. And we talked about it. And we talked about it and I felt a little bit better. Yes, there you go. You know, even yes, even Brian sometimes suffers with, you suffers with his feelings. My feelings are, I wish I didn't have them, but I do. I wish I had no feelings would make life easier, but I do. And I certainly have strong feelings about opossums, in case you're wondering. Nicole Soule-North You've got to feel the bad to know what the good is.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Jared Soule-North That's right. So So if you have possum-related mental health issues, you can call me. Otherwise, call a professional. I may not be the guy to go to. All right. So there's my spiel. Christy's right. There's lots of local, national, and international help available. Like if you literally don't know where to start, I'm not feeling mentally healthy. in Google or AI or whatever, and it'll shoot you back a number of places you can call or write to or go to. And of course, you know, hopefully you have a friend or a family member, at least you can pick up the phone and say, you know, hey, dad, I'm not doing good right now.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I need somebody to talk to. It's not going to solve all the problems overnight, but at the very least, it's a release valve. It's someone to talk to you, then that person can keep an eye on you. That person can check in with you. That person can say, hey, how are you feeling today, right? Take the next step. Do the next thing. Get up in the morning. Make your bed. It's going to be okay. We're going to figure it out. I'm here for you. So, anyway, that's my little, that's my once a year, be serious, take life seriously kind of thing. There you go. I love it. And also remember to get your 33 ejaculations in.
Starting point is 00:40:27 That's right. What is it? 21. 21. Yeah, 21. Make sure you get your 21 ejaculations in. So now that I've given you the PSA of the day, let's take a break and we'll be back with more hilarity.
Starting point is 00:40:37 What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio, video, and TCBdio. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCBpodcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB phone number you will ever have to remember! So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3TCB. Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB. Oh, and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash The Commercial Break. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. Okay, weirdest thing happened on our text message line. So, we have a person, I won't even name the gender, but we have a person who has been texting us pretty frequently
Starting point is 00:41:46 for a couple of months, right? What I would call a fan, if not a super fan, a fan of the show. And they texted me after we had been talking about 90 Day Fiancé and one of the story lines that was going on on 90 Day Fiancé the other way. 90 Day Fiancé has 75 fucking versions of it. Yes, they do. And you can't keep up with all of them, but there's like one that I'm paying attention to, and there's two specific storylines. And I mentioned this on the show a couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:42:10 There's two storylines that I watch it for. I fast forward to those two storylines because I don't care about the rest. I'm over it. I can't have 90 Day Fiancé in my brain 24 hours a day. Chris, hey! It'll get in there too. Oh man, and it will. Yeah, it'll be in your craw. You'll go through three seasons in a day, and you'll be like, what happened to my life? Where am I? That's when you reach out and get help, man. I should probably get help for my TLC-related mental health issues. All right, so someone texted me and said, I know one of the people, or I'm like loosely connected to one of the people
Starting point is 00:42:42 that is on this show. Right. So here's the storyline. Dude, I guess the best way to explain it is that there's a guy and he's probably in his 30s I think, okay? And we first meet him, he is wearing, in Los Angeles, in fucking Los Angeles, he is wearing a full fur coat like Sugar Daddy, pimp, like a pimp cup. He's got a pimp cup in his hand, he's wearing this fur coat, like Sugar Daddy pimp, like a pimp cup. He's got a pimp cup in his hand, he's wearing this fur coat, he's got these sunglasses on, big chains, he's, you know, muscular guy, he's had plastic surgery or at least his face looks plastic fantastic, he's got this hair that's sticking up. I mean, the guy is like straight out of casting, right? Douchebag,
Starting point is 00:43:21 that's what it is, straight out of douche bag casting. Okay. And then, of course, we know what's coming next. He's falling in love with some smoking hot 20-year-old from some far flung country in South America, which I think is Brazil. This girl has had plastic surgery of her own. She's had her boobies done. She lives in the nicest apartment. She drives a nice car. She's got all the nice things. She's got her nails done twice a day, you know, a kind of woman that is very pampered. And she's young, so she's a little bit on the immature side. But this guy is in love with her, not hard to see why.
Starting point is 00:43:57 She is a gorgeous woman. It's not hard to see why he's in love with, it's not hard to see why he's in love with her looks at the very least, right? But she's kind of immature and a little bit obnoxious, but he's a little bit immature and obnoxious too. So I guess they're a perfect fit. So we meet this couple on the first episode and she explains that she's living in the lap of luxury because he's paying for everything, he takes care of all of it. They even have a condo that they've bought in Rio that they rent out and they're living the high life basically. But at the end of the episode, we come to learn that this guy has lost his job and he
Starting point is 00:44:30 has hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, in debt from bad investments like cryptocurrency and failed company after failed company, you know, he's investing in friends' companies. He basically had a little bit of money, he didn't know what to do with himself, and he spent it all. He's Brian Green, companies. He basically had a little bit of money He didn't know what to do with himself and he spent it all he's Brian Green Okay Let's buy more podcast advertising With all the money we don't have So you get the deal he says I'm going and he's on his way to go down to Brazil to spend a month with her
Starting point is 00:45:02 So he's telling the camera in this cutaway, he's saying- Credit card, dime. He's saying, I don't have a dime to my, I'm like down to my last couple thousand dollars. And I've got to explain to her, I've really only got a month and a half of living expenses left and then we're done. And I lost my job, so I have no income.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And I'm really worried about going down there and telling her this because I'm afraid that she's in it for them. I'm afraid that she loves me, but the money might be a perk she may not be able to overlook. Well, you can know how this goes down. It goes down like a wet fart in church, right? He goes down there, and I got to give the guy credit, from the moment that we meet him, he's absolutely, at least to our understanding, transparent about what's going on. He's not trying to hide it. He's not trying to pretend. He's not Simon Guavaria, you know, pretending he has money as an oil man, and he has, you know, not a dime to his name. He is actually sharing that he's really broke. He's
Starting point is 00:45:54 broke as a joke and it's stressing him the fuck out. Now he's got this girlfriend, he's paying all his money to rent her a condo while they own another condo, and he's, you know, buying flowers, thousands of flowers to fill the rooms and all this other stuff. So, he gets down there and he says to her pretty quickly, oh, and by the way, he paid for her to open a nail shop, like a nail salon. Okay. Right? So, she's working at the nail salon. It's been open about a month. He says, how many customers per day do we have in here? And she says, oh, usually about one, maybe two appointments per day. And he said, how many do we need to break even? And she's like,
Starting point is 00:46:29 18 to 20? Right. Exactly. And at least, listen, he may not be the smartest business guy in the world, but he understands, I'm not going to bridge that gap. Like, I don't know how we're going to survive if we're only at two and we need to get to 20. It's never going to happen in two months. So he starts slowly kind of easing her into the situation, right? And she does not take it well. You know, first of all, he's hiding things from her. He did. He's, you know, he's been up and not had employment for a couple of months and he didn't share that with her. He's hiding. This girl basically throws a tantrum,
Starting point is 00:47:00 like a five-day long tantrum. Jared Like a five day long tantrum. Are they engaged? They're engaged. Okay. And so, fast forward a couple of episodes. And now what this guy wants, or what this girl wants to do is she wants to now start planning the wedding that they are supposedly going to have. Well, she's taking him to these places that's like $28,000 American dollars just to rent. And then you, that doesn't even include the food or the booze. And he is stressed the fuck out. He says to her, I don't know where we're going to get this money. We don't have this money. We're not going to be able to do this right now. And
Starting point is 00:47:32 she throws a holy shit fit. You don't love me. You never loved me. If you loved me, you would make this happen. Blah, da, de, blah, da, de, blah. And she goes into the back of the car. They're like at this wedding, this empty wedding facility. And she goes into the back of the car, they're like at this empty wedding facility, and she runs to the back of the car, curls up in a ball and starts crying, right? And he comes in and he's like, you know, trying to calm her down. Baby! Baby! And this is what he says to her, baby, I just, I love you, and you know, I'm trying to make all this happen, but I don't think you get the seriousness of this situation. I literally don't have any money. We don't have any money. The condo is all we got left,
Starting point is 00:48:04 that's it. By the way, will you sign a prenup? Oh my God. It's crazy. You threw a prenup in there? It fucking explodes. She goes crazy. But that's not the worst of it.
Starting point is 00:48:16 The worst of it is, they're riding down the road. So finally, after all this gets settled down, right? I can't remember if this comes before or after, but I'm telling a story here, so follow me. So they're riding down the road, two are from this wedding facility, and he goes, hey, honey, I wanted to show you the new sunglasses. And she starts showing her these sunglasses that fold up and have a necklace on them. So, you can fold your sunglasses up and then you've got a necklace that he says looks like a pendant. To me, it just looks like shitty sunglasses folded up. But he says, don't they look great? And she goes, oh, they look so sexy. Great job, baby. He goes,
Starting point is 00:48:48 yeah, I spent our last $10,000 getting 300 pairs of these made. And she's like, what? Oh, he was making them. He, his brilliant idea to get out of debt is to have a sunglasses company. It reminds me of the time I worked for the Olympics. and the genius idea of the owner of the booth that we were standing in was to make a shirt that when it got wet, it turned colors. Oh, that's right. And it had lizards on it.
Starting point is 00:49:15 It was called like lizard shirt or something. It was like the worst name, the worst idea. We did not sell one t-shirt, not one. This guy bought boxes and boxes of t-shirts, not one got sold. Wait, was it, hold on, let's break this down for a second, side note, but was it just a blank white t-shirt and then when it rained, it turned colors and made a lizard? You could tell that there was a lizard on it, but once it got wet, it activated. First of all, who's regularly just pouring water on themselves?
Starting point is 00:49:47 You want to see a cool trick? I mean, it's like a, I don't know, a wet t-shirt contest? Maybe that would come in handy? I'm not sure how else do they even do wet t-shirt contests anymore? I don't know, somewhere probably. But it was like the dumbest idea from the beginning. And I didn't care, the guy was paying me. So I went to the booth and people would walk by and I'd be like, colorest idea from the beginning. And I didn't care, the guy was paying me. So I went to the booth and people would walk by and I'd be like, color change your t-shirt. And people would come over and I'd do a demonstration and they'd be like, yeah, I think that was a thing back in the early 80s. I think I remember something about that back in the early 80s. They had like the heat
Starting point is 00:50:21 t-shirts. This one had to get wet, It had to get hot and wet. It was the dumbest fucking idea. I don't care if they would have put us in the middle of the Olympic Stadium and had a 50 minute commercial on wet colorized t-shirts. We would have never sold one because it's a terrible idea. And the only version of the shirt was a gecko. It's like a gecko. Who the fuck cares about the gecko? It has nothing to do with the Olympics, no one gives a shit. You don't go to the Olympics to buy a gecko t-shirt
Starting point is 00:50:50 that you can only see when it gets wet. It's dumb. Yeah, you at least could have had the Olympic mascot on there, but I guess that probably cost more money. Yes, that's right. Now, while I can believe there's some 62 year old beef caked up, very red yacht captain down in Florida that probably wants foldable sunglasses that turn into a necklace. I cannot see how this
Starting point is 00:51:09 is going to be a raging hit. I could be wrong. I'm not exactly Mr. Business either. So I'm not casting dispersions. But I mean, in this case, I could see why she was so very angry because it's like a dumb thing to spend your last $10,000 on when you have no promise of revenue coming in whatsoever. We know all about this, Chrissy. And I'm telling you right now, this is a train wreck waiting to happen. So this girl texts in and starts explaining that everything that we're seeing, I said girl, okay, it's a girl, there you go, all right, it's a girl.
Starting point is 00:51:41 So this girl texts in and explains everything that we are seeing is true. He is, in fact, a terrible businessman who is just desperately trying to make money by throwing money at other things and hoping that it all works out and that, you know, this relationship is basically headed for disaster. And I don't love it because I love seeing people, yeah, I do. I love the drama. You love the drama. That's what you watch it for. Of course, there's no issue. Why else would I watch it? I'm not watching it so I can see everything turn out great. I'm watching it so I can see the train wrecks, which is the only two storylines I'm following are the train wrecks, because I like that, right?
Starting point is 00:52:19 So she knows him. She knows, loosely knows him. I'll just say that. I don't want to get into too much detail because we agreed that I wouldn't. But yes, there's like a direct connection there to him and the situation. And you know, sometimes you want to believe that some of these storylines are kind of propped up a little bit, right? They're made more... They're made more dramatic by good editing.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Embellished. Embellished. But in this case, I think this is the real deal. Like, this is actually what's going on behind the scenes. And, I mean, I did it, so I guess it's hard for me to say this out loud, but what is it about this fucking show that it's like a rubber stamp? Old white man meets young Latino girl. Old white man meets young Latino girl. Old white man meets young Latino girl.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Brian meets Astrid. I know. But in this case, I wasn't rich, never claimed to be rich. And Astrid happened to like me on my merits. Now, I'm sure she regrets the decision now, but we're stuck. You can't have 13 kids and get a divorce. That's just a bad idea. You're doing it. That's just a bad idea. I love when 90 Day Fiance turns into a train wreck. I love it. I just love it. I love it. I think it's so, it's high entertainment.
Starting point is 00:53:52 You know, it's high entertainment. It's high entertainment. And I can't wait to see what this girl does next. I mean, if you have nothing, what are you worried about a prenup for? I know. Yeah. That wasn't making things better with the whole dropping a bomb too, that we have no money. Well, I was thinking about asking Yaster to sign a prenup where I get some of her money. Like, hey, can you sign a prenup where you pay me some money if we get divorced? Because it's likely I won't have any then either. So if you don't mind. Let's do this. There's no, you know, they say potential is just energy,
Starting point is 00:54:20 energy not realized. I'm like a big ball of potential. When girls say never rely on potential, or he's got potential, or whatever it is, they're talking about Brian. He's got so much potential, look at him. Hasn't reached it yet, but it's there. No, and when I'll reach it, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:36 I'll probably be Wilford Brimley. Get old Wilford. That's like my nightmare, is that I end up being a spokesperson for diabetes strips. It would pay though. Oh yeah, at least. Well, you think, you'd like to think, you'd like to think Wilfred got paid. But maybe he was just so angry about diabetes. Diabetes, how does he say it? Diabetes.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Diabetes. It's not diabetes, it's diabetes. Maybe he's so angry about diabetes that he just decided to do the commercials out of the goodwill of his heart. Maybe. I don't know. Well, I can't wait for an update on this storyline. I got to keep watching this. I can't watch it now. No, you can't watch it. I already gave you all the juicy parts about the one storyline. What's going to happen is they're going to find a way to, and this always happens, they're going to find a way to remedy, and I'll tell you why is they're gonna find a way to, this always happens, they're gonna find a way to remedy, and I'll tell you why they're gonna find a way to remedy with
Starting point is 00:55:28 each other, it's because there are future seasons of 90 Day Fiancé at stake here. And if you break up, it's unlikely they're gonna follow you, unless you are some extraordinarily entertaining human being on your own, which a few of the cast members over the years have become a show in of themselves. But these two, I don't see a lot of, I just don't see it. I just don't see that spark, you know, like, oh my gosh, this person I have to watch or that person I have to watch. What ever happened to Angela and Michael? Angela, Angela. So funny that you ask, because Astrid had it on in the background the other day. It's like 90-day fiance the other way after the days, two years later, seven years later.
Starting point is 00:56:11 There's so many versions. Well, I didn't catch the whole thing and I have not kept up with the storyline very well, but he is still trying to get his visa to come to the United States seven years later. And he's been denied twice and then he keeps telling her he's got to go to the, you know, the embassy in Tanzania or wherever he lives. And- I think he's Nigerian. Oh, Nigerian. Yeah. And so he, this last, one of the episodes that aired recently, I don't know, because I don't actually watch, I've actually decided to watch good television from now on,
Starting point is 00:56:40 so I don't watch a lot of 90 Day Fiancé. But what I did see in the background was that Angela went through his phone and found out that he was like Nigerian scamming other American older women and collecting money from them. And she blew up as she does. As she does. As she always does. As she does. Yes. Angela is a ball of fire. I'm sorry, but I would run, not walk away from Angela in a relationship. Like, she is explosive. That lady, I like her. I think she's highly entertaining, but she is explosive.
Starting point is 00:57:17 And she's still smoking cigarettes. She's like 77 years old. She's chain smoking them. Yep. Every time I go down to that island we go to, to vacation, we drive through the town that she lives in. Yeah, and I always just want to go like run around and try and find it. I know her address is out there somewhere. I want to knock on the front door. Angela! Angela! Oh yeah, she's had so many surgeries too. Oh my God, she looks great. I mean, not really, but compared to what she did before, she's looking great. I mean, not really, but kind of. Yeah, exactly. Compared to what she did before, she's looking great. She's looking better.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Let's put it back. She's got that 90 day money. She's got that 90 day money with that Ozempic face. That's right. I think she actually had gothic bifest. I think so too, yeah. And boob job and a butt lift and skin removal and all this other stuff.
Starting point is 00:58:00 She's like a Frankenstein walking around. I know. Smoking cigarettes, drinking whiskey, yelling at Michael. I swear to God, Michael, I see one more bitch in your phone. I'm gonna fucking kill you. Don't fucking mess with the horn bowl. You get the horns. She has always had those like Southern isms. She yells at him. Don't mess with the bowl. You're gonna get the fucking horns. And Michael's like Angela Angela
