Do dwarves have normal size penises?
Yes.
How come you said that so confidently?
I ask every single one I meet.
I'm being dead serious, too.
On this episode of the Commercial Break.
I will kick people out like it's nothing.
I love it.
I love it too.
I love it. I love it. Yeah. Nice, I would too.
And I never have rude hecklers.
It's always people that love me, but it's usually people that have had a little bit
too much to drink and they just want, instead of listening to me do stand up, they just
want to talk to me in the middle of my set and I will give them a couple breaks.
I'll say, okay, now you need to be quiet,
you know, because people didn't come here to hear you, you know, and if they keep going,
I'll just say, come get this bitch.
The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.
2.30 in the morning!
Oh yeah, cats and kittens,
welcome back to the commercial break.
I'm Brian Green, this is my dear friend and the co-host
of this show, Brian Green. Best to you, Brian.
And best to you, Brian. And best to you
out there in the podcast universe.
Welcome to another episode of the
commercial break. It's a TCB
infomercial Tuesday
with a very special guest indeed,
Chelsea Lin, also known as
trailer trash Tammy but let me not ignore the elephant in the room why am I
saying hello to myself because Chrissy's not here because Chrissy's not supposed
to be here you see long time ago well let me explain it this way when a man
loves a woman or a man loves a man or a woman loves a woman sometimes those people do things with each other more adult things and
Chrissy and I recorded an intro and an outro to this episode, but for one reason or another I cannot get it to work
So since Chrissy's not supposed to be here, and I would like to let you listen to the Chelsea Lynn interview
I'm just gonna do it solo
Fuck it. We gonna do it solo.
Fuck it, we'll do it live, as they say in the business.
Let's talk a little bit about Chelsea Lynn,
and then we'll get to the interview
where Chrissy is a part of that interview,
and I know that's the part you really wanna hear.
Chelsea Lynn is one of my personal
pandemic guilty pleasures.
I found her social media during the lockdowns
of 2020 just as I was starting this podcast, actually. And one of the things that instantly
hooked me into Chelsea was this universe of characters, this cast of characters that she
had created that were living and breathing on video and podcasts and social media around trailer trash Tammy which is essentially an alter ego so I want you to imagine
for a minute if you will if you have not heard of Chelsea that the crabapple bits
that I do at the beginning of the show had come to life in a much funnier much
grander much more visual way and ten and a half million people also liked those characters.
So 10 and a half people like the Crabapple Bits,
10 and a half million like Trailer Trash Tammy
and the universe of characters that she has created
or other people have created and brought into her world.
And she goes out there in the universe and she interacts with people as Trailer Trash
Tammy.
She's been in music videos.
She's had many a celebrity, a comedian on her podcast, in her videos, and she's just
done it.
I mean, I don't know any other way to explain how crazy huge Chelsea Lynn and trailer trash Tammy have become.
Here's one way I can put it into perspective.
In 2026, in March I think of 2026, Chelsea will be doing the second annual Tammy's Pond pontoon party which is a Norwegian cruise line that is completely occupied
by people who love Chelsea and Tammy and these other rotating characters that she
has in her world so like 1,500 people will get on a cruise for four nights and
they will travel around the Caribbean in Mexico and you can do this too you can
go to eat mytrash.com
and find out more information about that.
By the way, check out that URL,
eatmytrash.com for all things Chelsea Lynn.
But she will go on this cruise and it is wild.
You should watch some of the videos on YouTube
of last year's cruise, this year's cruise,
and how insane it was.
Here, let me give you a little snippet
of what's to come on the interview.
So in the last
version of the cruise, she hired a band called Mini Kiss. And that's not like a small kiss,
like a half kiss. That mini kiss means that it is people of a shorter stature who are dressed up
exactly like the band Kiss and they play Kiss covers.
That's not even the wild part. That's pretty wild, but that's not the wild part. The wild part is that Chelsea wanted to have them on cruise number two.
So she called and asked if they would come. And of course they said yes.
She then pitched that to Norwegian Cruise Lines to which the higher ups at New Regents said, fuck no, Minikiss is never coming back on not only
your cruise, but any cruise of ours, period, end of sentence.
Chelsea will explain why in this interview,
but it is insane.
And if that's your kind of party, if you're into it,
I would highly suggest you go to eatmytrash.com soon
to book your room because I think there are,
right now there are limited rooms available.
I've been kind of keeping up with all of the sales emails
that come through.
So she's got TikTok,
five, six million people follow her on TikTok.
About a million people follow her on Instagram.
She's got a number of different accounts.
Million and a half people are subscribed on YouTube.
She's got an OnlyFans page.
She does multiple podcasts and she is everywhere.
Chelsea Lin, also known as TrailerTrashTammy,
I would normally throw it to Chrissy right now
and I would say, hey Chrissy, why don't we take a break
and then do the magic of tele-podcasting?
Chelsea Lin will be right here in front of us
on our video screen.
But since Chrissy's not here, I'm just going to tell you, why don't we take a break?
And then through the magic of tele-podcasting, I will fanboy out a little bit about one of
my personal favorites, Chelsea Lynn, coming here to talk to Chrissy and I.
We'll be back.
Hey there, cats and kittens.

Alyssa Bennett.

or just plain bad.
Listen to Unfollow the C-Word
with Lena Dunham and Alyssa Bennett.
Available now wherever you get your podcasts.
And she's here with us now, Chelsea Lynn, one of my pandemic heroes, as I was just telling her.
Yes.
One of the people that pulled me through the pandemic, got me inspired and made me laugh
along the way. Did your stuff really blow up when everybody was sitting at home? I mean,
I know you've been around for a long time, doing vines and all that, but did it set on fire during
the pandemic? Yeah. Well, first off, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, it was a slow burn there for a minute.
You know, I was gaining a little bit of following a little bit of love. And then I just I think
people were just bored at home and just because I didn't change anything I was doing. Yeah.
And then during the pandemic, it just got a little woof. It kind of went off. It hit. It went off there.
Your shit is so wacky and so wild and so relatable. It's like you are this exaggerated version
of everybody we know or some character in your world is.
Thank you. We do a little bit of everything. You know, I do the trailer trash Tammy stuff. I'll do just some regular Chelsea life stuff.
We do positive talks, podcasts with the wig.
Like we just, honestly, I'm just having fun.
And if something sticks, great.
If it doesn't, I'm still having fun.
So I just do a little bit of everything.
Were you the kind of child who would sit around
and like make characters and,
you know, do little funny things? I imagine your family's pretty funny.
Everyone's all in on this, right?
Yes.
I was the type of kid that if there was a camcorder,
if anyone had one of those big camcorders on their shoulders,
I was the one who was in front of the camcorder being like, watch me do this,
watch me do this. So yeah, we have footage of that actually, so yes.
Okay, one of those tapes getting released,
the Epstein tapes and the Chelsea Lynn tapes,
I want them both released immediately.
We need them both, we need them both, yes.
I love how you're wearing a Dr. Phil shirt.
I know, you gotta tell us.
That's my guy.
Yep, Phil McGraw, he was our guy too. I love Dr. Phil, yeah. We got him to do a gotta tell us. That's my guy. Yep, Phil McGraw. He was our guy too.
I love Dr. Schell.
Yeah.
We got him to do a commercial for us.
A couple of commercials actually.
We convinced him to do some commercials for our podcast
and it's still to this day,
it's the funniest fucking thing ever
because we give him this script
and like the first six times he read it,
it was very, I didn't know he
didn't know what to make of it like if you're a big fan of fucking ghosts check
out the commercial breaks and but then the seventh time I think he understood
that it should be comic you know that it's comedy and he got with it and he
did the best read we've ever had ever. Dude I am so. You got Dr. Phil to do a commercial for you.
What the hell, dude?
That's crazy.
We paid him.
Yes.
I would do the same thing.
Call him.
He'll do it.
Call him.
He's got a very popular podcast.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Okay.
I love him.
Is he one of your guilty pleasures?
One of your TV guilty pleasures?
Yeah.
I mean, come on.
Just watching Dr. Phil, even if it's a serious episode,
it's so funny.
Just the things he says.
Yeah.
He's Dr. Phil, dude.
I've actually been in the audience several times.
No way.
I love him.
What were the shows about?
Yeah, what were the shows about?
Oh, yeah, were the TV.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, I can't even remember.
Did you get on TV? Did they like, did the camera pan to you?
Oh yeah, me doing this.
Oh yeah.
Yep.
Because you loved him so much, you actually traveled to Los Angeles to go into the studios and sit there?
Well, I used to live in San Diego.
Okay.
the studios and sit there? Well, I used to live in San Diego.
Okay.
So super close and I'd go up to LA all the time anyway.
So it was just like, hey, well you have a free day.
Let's get some tickets and go type of thing.
Wow.
That's crazy.
I've also been to the Price is Right.
Oh.
It's been several years and I've never got on
and that is still a goal.
That's still, I still need to do that.
Oh, that's one of our favorites.
All right, so you want a Price is Right story? I'll tell you, I'll take up a little, I'll cut,
I'll lead up a little bit of your time with my story. So, we used to have this streaming
radio station, like we went from working in radio to having like a homegrown streaming radio station.
There was a guy who worked for us, his name was Alfie. Alfie was the world's biggest Price is Right fan.
And I hired a girl and he met this girl
and they fell in love.
And he went, he was such a big fan of Price is Right.
He wrote them and he said, I need to be on the show.
I need to ask my girlfriend to marry me on the show.
Can you make this happen?
And no shit, they made it happen. So it's out there on
the internet. There's a lot of different places, but I think he's one of the only people who's
ever been on The Price is Right and gotten engaged. So he gets called, he does a game.
At the end of the game, Drew Carey says, hey, listen, I hear you have something else in mind.
And he asks his girlfriend to marry him on the Price is Right.
So he didn't win it much, but he won a fiance.
That is a dream, dude.
That is awesome.
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
I love watching it every time it makes me smile because he just was so in love and then
Price is Right.
I've been to the Family Feud taping.
Yeah, Family Feud's a fun one too.
That's a goal of mine.
I love game shows.
I love, I wanna be on Family Feud.
Oh yeah, that would be so much fun.
But you know what one of our dreams is here, Chelsea,
is to have our own cruise, like a commercial break cruise.
And right before you came on,
we were watching like your hype video
for the pontoon party.
Yeah, it looks like so much fun.
What is that all about you got to dig in?
Tell us.
I can't believe it.
Um, I've got my own Tammy's pontoon party cruise and a couple, about three years
ago, my agent came to me and said, would you ever want to do a cruise?
And I'm thinking like, Oh, would you, would I ever want to be booked as a
comedian on a cruise?
Yeah.
That sounds, that'd be awesome
Yeah, she was none at all like your own cruise and I said, I don't know if I could sell
Wild wild I go she goes well, I think we should try and it it just it's sold it sold out
I was just we're doing we're back to do our second cruise. I'm like, oh
Tell us some of the things that go on on the cruise.
Well, for starters, we had many kids on our first cruise
and they've been banned.
Oh!
Why did they get banned?
Why?
I don't even know if I can say on here.
You can say.
You can say anything on here.
She doesn't know if she can legally
with her lawyer.
Well, no, they, they, uh, let's just say day one, they were giving and receiving oral in the hot tub on the upper deck.
Oh, what?
And even for me, I'm like, Hey, go to your room.
But if that just gives you kind of like, it was a, that was my first cruise ever.
It was wild and fun.
And I'm not even kidding you, me and my whole family to this day say that was the
funnest time I've ever had in my life.
Wow. It looks fun.
That hype video looks fun.
Incredible.
And we're doing our second one, gosh, in like six months, I think it's in, um,
into February, into February, we're going to Mexico out of Tampa and we are
counting down the days.
But is it, is it a lot of work?
Do you like, is it, I know you say it's fun.
I can only imagine that it's like a blast.
You're drinking with everybody saying hello to the fans.
But one of the things that Chrissy and I talked about when we discussed doing a cruise,
which is like a dream for us too, not that anybody has approached us to do a cruise.
Yeah, nobody's asking for it yet.
It seems like it would be a lot of work. Like you'd have to be on almost 24 hours a day.
Well, you're doing about a year of planning before Yeah. Before we have weekly meetings of planning every week
starting about a year before.
So it is a lot and I am involved in everything.
It's not like they plan it and I just show up.
Like this is like-
Your crew.
Planning.
Yeah.
Yes.
And then, yes, it's a lot of work.
So on the crew, the first cruise we did,
I had so many,
cause we had shows and meet and greets and activities and stuff.
And so many fans came up to me and they're like, Oh gosh, they're working
you to death, you must be so tired.
I'm like, if this is work, dude, like this is the best job in the world.
Like I was having so much fun.
It's unbelievable.
I think it is awesome.
I think that's one of the things that I admire about you personally is that you do have the
best job in the world.
We do have the best job in the world.
We're not digging ditches.
We're not out there in the hot sun most of the time, not out there in the hot sun.
We're just talking on a microphone, making up silly shit for a living and blessed enough
then to have people on the other end who receive it and then whatever the revenue is.
But the reality or the way that I see you interpreting
all of this is really just still humble and having fun.
You're not like, it's not, some people,
I think sometimes they get a little bit of fame.
I mean, this is a tried and true story,
old is time is that you get a little bit of fame
and then it goes to your head
and you act like a real asshole, but you just seem to be having a whole bunch of fun with this.
Man, you'll never hear me complaining about this job ever, ever, ever, ever. And, and I started
this just having fun. I never anticipated doing stand-up comedy. I never anticipated being famous.
I never, I mean,
nothing. I literally just started this for fun. And when I was able to quit my nine to five,
seven years ago, that was insane to me. And it's every time I get to do something,
it's mind blowing to me that I even get to do this. So I will, you'll never catch me slipping
on complaining. Yeah. This is crazy.
Thank you.
It's just crazy.
I'm like, you know, I grew up in Oklahoma in a rundown trailer house, literally.
And it's just the fact that like people show up to these things for me, it's just like,
I can't even, it's wild.
And now I will tell you, you're in New Orleans right now as we're recording this, not as you're
listening to it listeners, but as we're recording this, you're in New Orleans. I know which hotel
you're at in New Orleans, because I've been to that hotel. Yes ma'am. And that is, I mean,
from the trailer in Oklahoma to where you're spending the night tonight. Yeah, one hell of an updo
Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's one hell. Yeah, yeah crazy crazy crazy
What all the time? What was your nine to five before you kind of hit it? Oh gosh
I was doing a little bit of everything but right before I quit I had two jobs
I was working at Whole Foods in the bakery and
Right before I quit I had two jobs. I was working at whole foods in the bakery
And um, I also worked for like a tech company as like an assistant top thing
Okay, uh, so I was basically working for engineers. My husband was an engineer
And he got me the job. So I was working kind of as an assistant for engineers
and um, I was working those two jobs and
Uh, I I don't know what it was. I was on my way to work one morning, literally.
And like a light bulb went off and I just said, I'm, I'm putting in my two weeks
notice and yeah, cause I wasn't making any money at that point.
Yeah.
Um, and I just went in and put my two weeks notice and it's been great ever since. It frees you up.
It took off.
Yeah.
Yes.
Exactly.
We were talking to Don-El Rawlings, the comedian about this.
Yep.
And he said that someone told him when early on when he was making no money, when he had
no change, when he's couch surfing and you know, we're doing gigs for food and beer and stuff like that. Someone told him, you have to firmly believe with blind faith that this is the
only thing you were ever put here on earth to do and go do it. Don't give yourself another option
because if you give yourself another option, you're going to do something else because this
ain't the easy way. This is not the easy way. And, you know, we did the same thing with the podcast. All of a sudden we went from one episode, you know, basically a month
to four episodes a week. You just kind of blindly have to, have to like take that leap
of faith. And when it works out so spectacularly, it's almost like there's no doubt the universe
is saying, hey, Chelsea, this is where you're supposed to be. This is where you're supposed
to be.
Right. And you know what? If it doesn't work out, you had nothing to lose.
You're back to square one, so what?
So you might as well just do it.
Exactly.
Might as well just do it.
Yep.
Yeah.
And you're taking your family along for a ride.
Does your hub, does your husband still work?
I'm sorry, I don't know.
Does he still work?
No, he, I forced him to quit his job about a year ago.
Nice.
And he did not want to do it, but it was a very stressful job and I was like
Greg I'll go just quit your job and you can you know he's real big into racing and cars and stuff
so he started a YouTube channel himself he's he's grinding you know on this side also so um my sister
yeah my sisters are in my videos one of my sisters is my tour manager.
The other works on my podcast.
So it's a family business for sure.
We know all about it.
That's incredible.
Yeah, we know all about it.
And that's the way it's got, I mean, and not only like,
are you living this kind of like dream existence now,
making content and getting up on stage,
making people happy, but then you to bring your family along with it is like the ultimate
F you to your former nine to five.
You're working in a bakery at whole foods now.
Yes.
I'm so happy for you.
And then you're bumming a cigarette from post Malone.
I saw that video and I could not believe it.
I go, is that a setup or did that really fucking happen?
I watched it believe it. I go is that a setup or did that really fucking happen? I watched it
I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it and we we saw him dude
It was just the most random chance meeting in the world
Okay. Yeah, we we just I saw him randomly in an alley
Behind the Ryman. Yeah, it was like there there's Post Mal. It was just the craziest thing.
The nicest guy I've ever met.
Oh yeah, you've got Tootsies on one side,
the Ryman on the other.
I was walking out of Tootsies.
I was walking out of Tootsies
and I was just waiting on my ride.
I was trying to figure out where to go for my ride
and he was right there just standing.
That's insane.
That's Nashville.
Did he know who you were?
Did he know who you were? I don't think, I don't think he did. Oh, you don't think he know who you were? Did he know who you were?
I don't think I don't think he did. Oh, you don't think he knew who you were?
OK, no, no. And and yeah, all when I post that video, people were like,
how does he not know who you are?
Like most people don't know who I am.
Well, that's true.
You can be a pretty fucking famous and still have a fair share of people
that don't know who you are. Right.
It's nice sometimes. Right. Exactly. But I would have noticed a lot. Recognize a lot.
Oh yeah, probably every day. Yeah.
But it's not like crazy. It's not like crowds of people or what, not at all. But it's like,
it's pretty, it's several people a day probably. It's wild.
That's great.
That's got to be-
It's crazy.
Yeah, that's got to be a big change, like to go
from a rather anonymous existence, right? Because Chelsea, just so the listeners know, this is not
like you showed up on social media in 2020 and blew up. You had been doing like vines in 2012 and 13,
right? I was about to say, I think I started 2012, 2013. Yeah. And like I said, it was a slow burn.
Like my podcast co-host, Paige Jinn,
she went to bed one night with like 100 followers
and woke up with like half a million followers.
That did not happen for me.
Oh my God.
It was very gradual.
So I kind of got used to everything very slowly.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's still crazy.
I'm like, this is wild.
Well, that's got to be a little bit of a blessing though, that it happens a little bit slowly
because then you ease your way into it.
Yes.
You know, there's an old saying that an overnight success never happens overnight, right?
It's like, you know, but sometimes I guess like in the case of page it really did I
Know she posted in followers. Yeah something crazy like that. She had posted like a fault like a
falling she does like a
Stunts and stuff like following videos and one of them went crazy and like world star reposted it and boom did it was she woke up
I was like what the hell?
Holy yeah Star reposted it and boom, dude, she woke up and was like, what the hell? Holy shit.
Yeah, mine was more of a slow thing.
So now you're on tour.
So you go from The Vine, then you go move over to YouTube,
then you're following it on social media,
burning, burning, burning, slowly gathering followers
and kind of figuring out your own comedic voice,
I would imagine.
Yes.
Doing these funny characters and Tammy and the family and all that.
Now you're doing stand-up.
Now you're selling out shows, right?
You're going and you're doing your own brand of humor, probably in a way you never imagined
you would have.
No.
What?
Never.
Do you love the, like that feedback that you're getting on stage?
Is that the best in the world?
It's the cra, dude, it's the craziest.
I never thought in a million years
I would do standup comedy.
Yeah.
And what, how I started it was,
years ago, fans would message me,
you need to do standup, you need to do a show,
do, you know, I'm like, I'm not doing standup.
Like what?
Yeah. You're crazy. You're crazy. I'm not doing this.
And then I think it planted that just little thing in my head.
And I was like, for years I thought about it. I was like, you know what?
I'm just going to try it. And if I don't like it,
then I'll be done. And if I, if I'm not good at it, then I'm done. You know,
at least I tried it. and if I if I'm not good at it, then I'm done, you know, at least I tried it
well, I
Did I did a show and I was like, okay. Yeah, this is this is awesome. That's the mother's milk right there
This is this is cool. This is cool
And I haven't stopped since and that was four years ago
And where did you try it out at for the first time?
In Dallas at Hyena's Comedy Club.
So what happened was I had a friend who does stand up,
Vinnie Montez, he's out of Denver and he said,
hey, I know you don't do stand up,
but would you wanna do this show?
Hyena's wants to book us for the show.
And I kind of took that as like a universal sign to be like, you know
what? Now or never, give it a shot. Let's do it. And I booked a show, announced it, it
sold out in 10 minutes. They added another, and they added another show that sold out.
They added another show that sold out. Oh my God. They winded up doing four shows
and they wanted to add more and I said,
hold on, let's just do these four.
Let's just try this out.
And by the way, I'm not tooting my own horn.
Shows do not sell that good for me anymore, by the way.
Okay.
Well, the demand was there.
The demand was there.
Right.
Right.
Right.
And I did those four shows and I said,. Right. Right. Yeah. Right.
And I did those four shows and I said, let's keep going.
Yeah.
How did you work on the material?
How do you, how do you work out that material?
So, and I still do this four years later.
I will, I'll just write a bit and I will just rehearse it
in my room by myself until it's memorized
and I'll go on stage and do it.
And things that I thought would get a laugh if they don't
I'll take it out. I'll replace it and I literally just do it in my room by myself. Wow
Yeah, I mean it's like the old school and when you're in school trying to memorize, you know
Your project to get up in exactly and talk. Yeah, but I get this.
You know what?
Go ahead, please.
Well, you know what's funny is I have a really weird attention.
Like when I'm on stage and there's if it's like a small club, if there's people in front
of me and they're ordering a drink or talking to the person beside them or if they're like
doing stuff, it my focus, it's so hard for me to
focus on my stand up. So when I, when I'm rehearsing at home, I will make my husband
and my two sisters stand, sit in front of me on the couch and I make them talk to each
other while I stand in, while I stand in the room and perform the stand up.
What a great technique.
That is very smart. in the room and perform the stand up. What a great technique. While they're talking,
to try to work that muscle of like ignoring what's going on around me. So they're used to
doing that for me. That's like the Super Bowl teams that'll go to the big, whatever stadium
it's at, you know, the Superdome or whatever, and they'll have the audio people, guys,
or whatever, and they'll have the audio people, guys, hype in super loud music, crowd noise, firecrackers,
gunshots, whatever, to make sure that,
to get used to the noise and all the stuff
that's gonna be going on in a really loud environment.
I do think also that if I was up on stage
and someone was not focused on me,
they were focused on something else,
that my natural inclination would be to tune
into what they were doing.
And that is super distracting.
Yes.
It's hard.
That's the hardest part about it.
That's the hardest part about doing standup for me.
Do you get it?
Is the attention.
Do you, have you ever had hecklers at your show?
Oh yes.
I will kick people out like it's nothing.
Like it's nothing.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah.
And I never have rude hecklers.
It's always people that love me, but it's usually people that have had a little bit
too much to drink and they just want, instead of listening to me to stand up, they just want to talk to me in the middle of my set. And I will give them
a couple, a couple of breaks. I'll say, okay, I'll say, okay, now you need to be quiet,
you know, cause people didn't come here to hear you, you know, and if they keep going,
I'll just say, come get this bitch. Yeah. You know, you can't ruin it for other people. So I have no problem kicking
people out if they're disruptive.
I have been, I've seen my fair share of live comedy. I went to a show, the Pete Davidson
show. I saw Pete Davidson like working out some material in a really small club here
in Atlanta. And he had a couple of openers and one of the openers was trying to do his
set and there was a guy in the audience
who had a little bit too much,
who thought that he was supposed to be part of the act.
You know what I'm saying?
He would try, the comedian was trying to tell a joke,
and he would have a punchline ready,
and he would say it out loud.
And the first time it happened,
he got a little bit of a laugh.
The second time people were like,
errr, and the third time, the comedian just led into him.
I mean, he just was like, hey dude, you want to get up here?
Cause I'll give you the microphone.
I'm getting paid.
And he ended up getting escorted out, out of the show.
I do think that's the right thing to do after a minute.
Hey, listen, they didn't pay to see you.
They paid to see me.
No offense.
Yeah.
And this is not our personal conversation.
Right.
And, and one of my very first shows, I had been doing stand up just a few months.
Um, I had a girl kind of towards the front of the stage and she was drunk and
just talking to the person next to her the entire time and I ignored it.
I ignored it.
I didn't, you know, I was fresh at standup.
I did know how to, how to handle that situation.
And after the show, during the meet and greet, I had a lady come up to me and I was like,
did you have a good time?
And she's like, well, yeah, I did.
But I didn't get to hear hardly anything you said because the lady beside me was talking
the entire time.
And I said, I said, never again will I ever let that happen at another show of mine.
And I haven't. And I have it.
And I have it.
Yeah.
It should be a rule.
We've talked about this on the phone, Chelsea.
People at live events are getting fucking loony-tuned.
People throwing phones on stage at live music events, people standing up between music and
comedy.
The weird things that you see people doing, there's a certain kind of entitlement and bravado that goes on,
and they ruin it for everybody else
who's just there to have a good time.
So I think it should be a rule.
If you talk during a comedy show,
if you're not talking because the comedian asks you to talk,
you need to leave.
Go somewhere else, take that shit outside.
Take that shit outside.
Brian has said, put it in the book, put it in the book.
We'll put it in the notebook.
This is part of a family, when you were growing up and you were hamming it up for the camera,
was your family in on this too?
Like now it's a family affair, but are a lot of these characters like organic that you
and your family have been?
I don't know, in my mind, when I watch some of your videos, I think, I bet they've been
doing this for years.
I bet they've been doing these voices and these characters for years.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes and no.
Some of them yes, some of them no.
And I kind of will try things out and if people ask for more of it, then I'll keep doing it.
So that happens organically in that way.
Like me and my sister have been doing these characters and these voices called the barbers since we were
And they're real they wear like bottle bottle
Bottle cap glass and they'll talk like this and they're kind of old ladies
and we've been doing that since we were
12 13
and
We were kind of just snapchatting us doing it and people just begged for more.
So now we have to do full barber skits and, and, and the positive talks. It's a, it's
a, um, I love this. Thank you. It's a podcast. I do it on my Patreon and I started with just
doing one and now it's the number one requested thinged thing I do. Oh really we we would post maybe one episode every couple months and people were like
Literally met daily Chelsea. This is not enough like I
subscribed to watch
This yeah podcast click so now so now we have to put out we do two episodes a month. It's
So now we have to put out, we do two episodes a month. It's fucking hilarious.
It really is.
So I kind of just go with what people are asking for.
Honestly.
Smart.
Honestly, yeah.
We should take that advice.
No, we can't.
We should stop doing this shit people don't care about.
Now, hey, some stuff I do for myself,
if I think it's funny and people don't like it,
I'm like, hey, I'm having fun, I'm gonna keep doing it.
Yeah, exactly. You got to. If you're not enjoying it, then,
then right. What else are you doing? The positive talks? The best thing to me is the little intro
that you guys did for the positive talks reminds me of like, I don't know, Reba in the eighties.
Yes. It is very, it is very funny.
You're all very naturally funny together.
It's obvious that there's a rhythm going there.
And that's, that is, I think everybody can probably relate
to being in a setting where you have a few beers,
you're sitting around with the guys or the girls,
and you have a rapport with somebody where you're laughing
and you're yucking it up maybe a sister or a brother but it's
very I think unique to find people who do that in an ensemble so naturally so
gifted so quick and funny because that's the part that's that that's really hard
it's like one two three be funny right that's really yeah and I know there's
probably takes and stuff like that,
but you're just, it's just really good.
You guys are, you girls are gifted at what you're doing.
And have you ever had any interest in doing,
or have you ever had anybody interested in taking this
into a fully scripted or unscripted television program?
For a streamer, I can't imagine somebody has an approach to you to say hey
Can we can we develop this?
Yeah for positive talks or for any of it any of it. Yeah
Yeah, we I feel like I've met with a thousand production companies over the past, you know several years
Yeah
Yes, I
Part of me wants to write a tanny movie
You know, i've been working on
um a pilot for
Kind of a tv show that we're out pitching actually right now
But you know, i've i've pitched other stuff over the years and you know how things go. It's like
You know how things go. It's like You know, thank you get excited about something. It doesn't happen you get so I
Nothing has happened
Solid, but I'm always out there grinding trying to get a show or a movie done. Yeah, absolutely
Yes. Yeah, we have a little bit of experience with this. It's very much hurry up and wait
It's like yes get excited get excited, then nothing happens.
Get excited, nothing happens. Yep. And I also don't want to wait around for someone to come to me
and be like, Hey, let's, let's do this, which I have had people come to me, but I want to like,
create something, you know, I've been, like I said, I've been working on, on this show that I'm
actually really excited about that. We're trying to go out there and pitch.
So, you know, fingers crossed and you know what?
I'm a tough person.
If that never happens, that's fine.
I'm living the dream with what I'm doing now.
So you know, whatever happens, will happen.
It'll be fine.
You're doing cruises.
You're selling out shows.
You're doing okay. You're smoking cigarettes with Post Malone, I think
you're okay, I think you're doing fine. I'm good. You're staying at the finest
Hampton Inn in all of New Orleans, you're doing okay for yourself.
Yes. Right. How hot is New Orleans right now, by the way?
Oh yeah, good question.
I've been there in the summer.
It's very hot.
Yes, it's very hot, but it's been raining off and on,
which has kind of been nice.
But it's hot, girl.
You got that swampy.
Yeah, New Orleans is hot in December.
It is, yeah.
Absolutely, New Orleans is one of those places.
It's like being in a soup bowl. Of course, I think that's part of what makes it, is hot in December. It is. New Orleans is one of those places. And one of my favorite places in the world.
It's like being in a soup bowl.
Of course.
I think that's part of what makes it, like makes the people of New Orleans so weird and
wild and wonderful is that they're constantly steaming their brains.
The heat.
Yeah.
They're in a sauna 24-7.
That can't be good for your, yeah.
We're going on a Gator tour tomorrow and I've
never been on one.
Oh, those are good.
And I'm excited.
You got to get excited about that.
Are you going on the airboat?
I think it's, yeah, it's one of those. Yeah. Which I'm a little scared of, but it's, I
don't know. You know, it's like, Hey, we're here. Let's do it. It's fine.
We've been on two and we went on one of them when my kid was like just maybe a year old.
Oh my gosh.
I know.
And so this guy down in, you know, middle of nowhere,
Florida, and he's like in the Everglades.
And he's like, don't worry about it.
We have kids here all the time.
And I'm like, he's one, like, you know,
am I going to be able to hold onto him?
And that guy was whipping around those Everglades
and I was hanging
on to my son for dear life and he's calling the Gator by name and it's open.
It was wild.
It was wild.
I think it'll have fun though, because seeing a Gator really up close in
person is kind of one of the, like it hits you in a place that's very primal.
You're like, wow, this is why we're scared of Gators because they're wild.
I'm, I'm the nervous one out of the group. Everyone else is excited. This is why we're scared of gators because they're wild.
I'm the nervous one out of the group.
Everyone else is excited.
I'm like, oh my gosh, my heart's pounding right now
just thinking about it.
Here's a piece of advice.
Sit in the middle of the boat.
Don't sit on the edges.
Sit in the middle of the boat.
Done.
Those guys, they always think that the gators, for some
reason, they treat them like pets.
They're their friends.
They call them by name.
But we all have seen those weird wild videos where the tigers were everybody's pet until
they bit off a head or something.
Exactly.
Look at those.
And I mean, you've seen a lot of crazy stuff in your life.
You saw Minnie Kiss giving head inside of the jacuzzi.
I still can't get over it.
Hey, we hadn't even been on the boat five hours and that was happening
No fucking way to kick them off like from then or just like no they did the rest of the cruise but their band
So I love them to death. I had never met them before the cruise
But when we were picking people I go many kids has to be number one
So since the cruise we have become really good friends. I
They've come and stayed at my house. Like I love them
So we hadn't been on the cruise for a few hours and my sister
I was getting ready to do our first show. I was filming my first special that night
And my sister came up and she said did you hear about minikiss? I was like no what?
She goes he was eating something in the heart. I'm like, she goes, she goes, they had about 30 people around
them just sitting there cheering. So we continue to have a great time on the cruise and then this year when we were when we were
planning this next cruise I told them I said Mini Kiss coming back they're my number one
and they came back and said yeah we we banned them. I was like what dude I was like I go let
me talk to the call this I was so as I was not happy, but yeah, it was fun though.
It was worth, they said, they all told me they said, worth it.
Yeah, exactly.
Worth it.
I got ahead, it was worth it.
Right.
Hey, listen, you know, when you're in Mini Kiss,
you gotta live up to the expectation.
That is wild.
And well, so Mini Kiss, for those of you that don't know, you got to Google this.
They really are, they're a cover band of Kiss made up of little people, people who have
whatever kind of...
Dwarfism.
Dwarfism, yeah.
And by the way, Seven Little Johnston's my favorite show in the world.
So just...
Oh, yeah.
Have you ever seen that show?
Yes, I have. Yeah. Johnston's my favorite show in the world. So just have you ever seen that show?
Yes, I have.
I tried to get them on the show, but for some reason they won't.
You tried to get on their show. I tried to get on their show too, but for some reason.
Don't give up.
I won't.
Don't give up.
I'm not. As soon as they go blue, I think I think I'm okay.
But so the mini kids, so they do the whole cover band and the makeup and all that stuff.
So you can imagine the wild scene as one of them is-
Oh, there were girls walking around, I did see, there were girls walking around the cruise
ship with white makeup around their lips.
Oh!
No!
Where they had just been making out with Mini Kiss.
Yeah.
Wow.
Those guys are wild.
Those guys know how to pull tail.
Yeah. They're better at it than I am. Wow. Those guys are wild. Those guys know how to pull tail. Yeah.
They're better at it than I am.
Right.
But hey, listen.
Yeah.
I mean, again, when you're in Mini Kiss, you got to live up to all of the expectations
of Mini Kiss.
Exactly.
You have to.
Take advantage.
Would Gene Simmons be doing anything less?
No, I'm afraid he wouldn't.
Right.
Yeah.
Maybe his tongue's a little bit longer, but he's a little bit more proportional.
So there you go.
But no, this cruise is is gonna be just as good
We have L King coming on
Yeah
Wow
Tam Patterson Josh wolf
Lots of comics the girls that open for me Tina and Libby will be there. We're doing a live
viral podcast a live trailer tales podcast.
I've got some special things planned that I don't want to say yet. It's going to be epic.
We added another night, so it's even a longer cruise.
So it was three nights, now it's four.
Yes.
So when you do these cruises, because I don't know this, I understand that sometimes these
cruises are you are just a party on another cruise and then sometimes it's the whole boat.
Are you the whole boat?
We're the whole boat.
Oh yeah.
Fucking A dude.
We are the whole boat, which is crazy.
Fucking A.
We're the whole thing, baby.
Chrissy and I do not know one kiss song that we could play, but if you need a
replacement for many, yes, we'll come with it.
That shit's wild.
I just love the thought that.
Yeah.
I know.
And it's a, it's an indicator of some level of success.
I mean, that's thousands of people you have to get on a boat from all across
the country or coming to Tampa to see you doing your thing. You've had a wild amount of success,
and I think rightfully deserved because you are fucking funny. You're working a muscle that not a
lot of people do. It's a comedic muscle that's also an acting muscle, which is-
Yeah.
And just authentic. Yeah, it's just authentic. It's coming from the weird, wild world of Chelsea Lynn.
Thank you.
Damn, thank you guys so much, dude.
We're fans of Chelsea.
Joya, I'm a fan.
I am like a fanboy of Chelsea Lynn.
Because again, when I found you at the beginning of the pandemic, I was like, what in the good
fuck is going on on this girl's Instagram?
And then I just went down the rabbit hole
of all of it from the farting videos to the positive talk. Just all of it was so, it was
inspirational to me. And as I went along my own journey with creating my own content,
I thought, well, she's out there making her own little worlds and universes and finding
some success doing that. Let's make our own little worlds and universes and finding some success doing that.
Let's make our own little worlds and universes.
You're just one of the people that I look to.
So I am, I, when I knew you were coming on the podcast, I was like,
that is fucking fantastic.
You're in a, Chelsea Lin's in a Dirk Spentley video for that.
I know I saw that.
With Bordeaux, with Joe, with the Bordeaux guy.
Yeah. With Joey bro. Joey bro. I'm sorry, bro. I call him Bordeaux, with the Bordeaux guy. Yeah, with Joey bro.
Joey bro.
I'm sorry, bro, I call him Bordeaux.
That's okay.
I don't know why.
And I got to meet John Anderson, bro.
I was like, this is crazy.
Did they call you and just ask you?
Dirk Bentley messaged me on Instagram asking me.
No fucking way.
That's incredible. I was like, what the hell is going on? I said, yeah. I go, I'm in town that day.
I'll be there.
Yeah.
Literally.
That is wild.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
Things like that happen.
And I'm like, what is happening?
Yeah.
I will, I will never just be like, oh yeah.
Dirk Spintley.
Chuck.
D.A.
I'm like, what is happening? I'm like, what is happening? I'm like, what is happening? I'm like, what is happening? I will never just be like, oh yeah, Dirk's
Bentley.
Right.
Damn.
Yeah, you don't get used to that.
It's like what in the world is happening? I just get to do so much cool stuff. It's
insane.
What is the coolest thing you've been invited to or done so far? Besides having your own
cruise and being in the Dirk's Bentley video and smoking cigarettes at Post Malone, what other, what doesn't like something that's
just like really blew your mind? You were like, holy shit, I'm doing this.
You nailed it. But just, just the comedians I get to meet and hang out with, I'm like,
I'm in a room with these people. Like it's like, I, that's probably the number one. Cause
I'm a comedy. I love these people.
And the fact that, and the fact that I walk into a room
and they're like, Oh, Hey Chelsea.
I'm like, I feel like I'm like a person who like want
a sweepstakes and I'm, and I'm getting to do all
these cool things.
Like that's what it feels like to me.
I'm like, this is crazy.
You, you, you have imposter syndrome sometimes you're like, Oh my God, what am I doing here? Yeah, to me. I'm like, this is crazy. You have imposter syndrome sometimes.
You're like, oh my God, what am I doing here?
Yeah.
I do.
I absolutely do.
And I envy the people who are like,
oh no, I don't have imposter syndrome.
I, this is, you know, I deserve it.
I'm just like, I've got it, dude.
This is, I feel like this is a fog.
Yeah.
Like what?
Well, enjoy every moment.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I wouldn't change it. This is awesome. This is crazy. Thank you. Thank you.
I wouldn't change it.
This is awesome.
This is crazy.
Chelsea Lynn is on tour.
She does live standup comedy.
She also has a number of podcasts and social media channels that will make you laugh until
you're blue in the face.
It's wacky.
It's wild.
It's all over the place.
Wild.
And it is, if you'd like the commercial break,
there is no doubt you're gonna be into her brand of comedy.
I'm gonna put all the links in the show notes.
If you're so inclined,
she's got a cruise coming up in February,
leaving from Tampa.
There are still rooms available
because Kristi and I were looking at it right before you came on.
My birthday's in February, Ryan.
Hey, listen, birthday present.
We might have to go on the cruise.
Oh, I'm going to get on that cruise.
Yeah, but my wife catches me in a hot tub with mini kiss.
We're done.
We're done.
It should be a little more tame this year, hopefully.
Who knows?
Who knows?
I don't know.
I don't think those things get more tame.
I think they get more wild.
I know, I know.
Did you have anybody else that was kicked off the cruise? The question,
was there any other trouble that went down? No, and you know what? I had countless,
so apparently no one got arrested. They have like a jail at the bottom. I do know that. Yeah. And they were kind of shocked. They said no one got arrested, not one person. And I had dozens of cruise ship workers that came up to me
and said, I've been working on cruises for 10 years, 20 years. And we have never, number
one, had more fun working a cruise and number two, had more kinder, more respectful people
to deal with on a cruise.
Oh, that's so great.
That is really fucking cool.
I cried when I got off. I go, that makes me so great to hear. That is really fucking cool. I cried when I got off.
I go, that makes me so happy.
Yeah, that is really fucking cool.
Isn't it cool?
Amazing.
When we interact with our listeners,
it's something, it's cool to know
that they are the cool people I imagined
that they would be, right?
And it happens almost 100% of the time.
There's always one or two in the crowd,
but 99.9% of the time, I just like to
think of my listeners as people who I would like to hang out with.
And it turns out most of them are.
And so it's nice to hear like you didn't like breed a bunch of shit heads online
that came through chairs off the deck and, you know, we're punching people.
And yeah, exactly.
It's not exactly you. You nailed it.
It's not a Carnival Cruise. Carnival?
No.
No, no, no, no, no, none of that Carnival bullshit.
All right. So Chelsea Lynn, all of her links are in the show notes. If you ever come to Atlanta,
Chelsea, do us a favor. Come into the studio and talk with us.
I literally will.
Yeah, we'd love to meet in person.
It would be one of the honors of the podcast so far
if you would come and grace us with your presence.
Yes, let's do that.
Yes, absolutely.
And thank you guys for having me.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Again, I'm not saying this insincerely.
I am a fan of yours.
I think your comedy is great.
And I hope that you do it for a long time to come and I hope we see that Chelsea Lynn television show soon enough
Yeah
There's a lot of crap out there. I hope they get somebody gets it right so they do safe and on the Gator
No, the Gator. Hey, I will
Thank you guys so much
All right, bye Chelsea, thank you so much. Bye
Middle of the boat, middle of the boat. Alright.
Bye Chelsea, thank you so much.
Bye.

Let's pay some bills, and we'll be back to this episode of The Commercial Break.
It does not get any sweeter in life. Does not get any sweeter.
That ranked that among my personal favorite interviews here at the commercial break because
it's one of my...
Like I was trying to explain this to Astrid the other day I love
doing those crabapple bits at the front of the show I know it's not everybody's
favorite thing but I love it it creatively it scratches an itch for me I
like making up characters I like this little world that I've kind of pieced
together but it's not very linear.
There's not a lot of
There's not a lot of detail to it, right? It's just the bits. That's what it is, and I color in whichever page
I need to color in to do that bit.
Chelsea has taken this to the nth degree. She has made an entire universe around
trailer trash Tammy, and she just continues creatively to knock
it out of the park, in my opinion.
And it is so fucking funny, and obviously it is, because like 10 and a half million
people follow her collectively on social media, YouTube, and otherwise.
And if you don't already, you should.
All of that information is down below in the show notes, but there's just really one place
you need to know
where to go, it's eatmytrash.com.
That's eatmytrash.com.
