This episode is sponsored in part by Zbiotics pre-alcohol. Let's face it, most of us are not 21 years old partying like we used to. We have to make the choice between a great night or a great morning after. At least that's what we thought, Chrissy and I, until we tried pre-alcohol. I don't drink a whole bunch anymore and I was on the fence about this one. But a few weeks ago, Astor and I went out for some drinks for my birthday. The pre-alcohol was sitting on the counter and I decided why not give it a try. And let me tell you, pre-alcohol is the real deal.

Zbiotic's pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. This was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Let me tell you how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in your gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for your rough next morning. But pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. You just need to remember to make Z-Biotics your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and then you're going to feel your best tomorrow.

I kept hearing about pre-alcohol and I wondered what is it actually like. Now that I've tried it, I get why everyone is talking about it. And with their GMO technology, Zbiotics is continuing to invent probiotics that will help the everyday challenges of modern living.

and of the commercial break. Fucking crazy. And we have to sit here and watch them in a race with each other to become the first trillionaire. These guys are so fucked. Imagine you made $35 million a minute and still no woman wanted to fuck you. That is what we're dealing with. On this episode of the commercial break.

They seem to be so supportive of each other. They're like always showing up together. Yeah. Makes you root for them. It honestly does. Like the opposite of me and my husband where I like make fun of him whenever we're in public. Like, wow, they're so unsupportive of each other.

It really makes me feel better about my marriage. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Yeah, boy. Yeah, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. DCB Infomercial Tuesdays are back after a little oscillation.

Hiatus. Oscillation. We had Reggie Watts on a special bonus episode last Saturday for all those who were wondering. Going into the- Love Reggie. Love Reggie. Loved our second interview with Reggie. We got so far all good praise, although someone said, why so much discussion about romance? Why not? What do you got against romance, dude? I mean- Yeah. He doesn't want to talk about love.

No, but not everyone's happy about anything. You love? Not everyone's happy about anything. You do something and everyone's miserable about it and then, I don't know, I don't care anymore about the whims of the listener. Who needs listeners? We've done just fine without them. So Reggie down there, to answer your question, we will be doing a number of bonus episodes going into the holiday season because that's how we roll Including the 12 days of TCB and we're looking for chair

We want to do each one of those days we want to do for a charity Maybe we do a couple days for a charity We haven't all figured that out But we'd like to know what the charities that you like to get behind during the holiday season Because we're gonna do some good here at TCB. All right. If we're not making money, somebody might as well be. I'm going to cast a vote. Go. Yeah.

Well, two, I think, breast cancer and Habitat for Humanity. Love Habitat for Humanity. Love Toys for Tots. Love breast cancer. Fuck cancer. That's all I got to say. Fuck cancer. And who knows?

Maybe I'll get behind the hypercalcemia. Yeah, there's got to be a group out cancer. And who knows, maybe I'll get behind the hypercalcemia. Yeah, there's gotta be a group out there. There's gotta be. There's only a few of us, but there's gotta be a group out there. Anyway, today's TCB infomercial with Natasha Ligero. We think we're, I think I'm saying that correctly.

And we're so excited to have her. She's been in so many things. Oh my God. The roasts, the- Oh, Chelsea Lately was where I got to know her from. Chelsea Handler Show, yeah that's right, Chelsea Lately. She also did Another Period. Another Period, which was so funny.

So fucking funny. It only had three seasons, I think, which is surprising, because I felt like there was more seasons to it, but there's no seasons, but the place where I really got to know, or the first saw her, was as one of the, I guess you call them like a host of this weird reality show back in the early 2000s on MTV called That 70s House, where all these kids thought they were going to be on like road rules and they show up at some like 70 house made in the 70s, decorated like the 70s and Natasha makes them only talk in 70s lingo, wear 70s clothing, do 70s things, no

telephones, no computers, none of that stuff. And I remember it being kind of interesting, like this funny, quirky little reality show. And I don't know, we'll ask her about that, but what she's really doing right now, the things she wants to focus on, two things, Endless Honeymoon, which is her podcast, I don't know if it's based on or if the podcast was first, another question I'd like to ask, based on this series of Netflix shows she did for Netflix is a Joke, where her and her husband each did a stand-up routine basically revolving around relationships, and now they have a podcast where they take questions from the audience about relationships, and then they answer them in the most terrible of ways.

Kind of like Ask TCB, which is why I have put aside a Ask TCB question about relationships and sex that I'd like her to give some offhand advice about. She's also focusing on Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, which is hosted by none other than one of our favorites, Travis Kelsey, the man of the hour, can't get away from him, international superstar, sensational footbag player, whatever you call that game. And also- I'm surprised it's not Patrick Mahomes. I was watching TV the other day for the ball.

He's in every commercial. Yeah, he is. He and Peyton Manning. I saw this, they do the AI refs now, or people will take post-game press conferences, or they'll take calls made by referees. You know when the refs are standing there explaining why the foul was, what the foul was, all that, and they'll make an AI version saying stupid shit. Right, right. what the file was, all that, and they'll make an AI version saying like stupid shit. And it's like, they had one about Patrick Mahomes and it was like, roughing Patrick

Mahomes and breaking the international laws of something, like, you know, talking meanly to Patrick Mahomes, 100 yards and jail for life. The referees were basically saying, you know, Patrick Mahomes everything, it's all about Patrick Mahomes, which, hey, listen, the kid is a superstar. Exactly. Yeah. I'm not like the world's biggest Chiefs fan. I'm not the world's biggest anything football fan, but I'm not the world's biggest Chiefs fan, but I can appreciate that the guy's really good. And that Super Bowl last year was one of the better actual football games I had seen in a

very long time. It was also one of the only actual football games I had seen in a very long time. It was also one of the only actual football games I had seen in a really long time, given I have 26 children. But she's on this show, hosted by Travis, you know the premise, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, that was made famous by Foxworthy, Jeff Foxworthy. Lauren Ruffin Oh, that's right. Jeff Foxworthy Back when Fox, I think this one's on Fox too, but back when Fox did it. Now, they're asking similar type questions, like basic questions you would learn in grade school, but the celebrities play as a backup. So they can ask the celebrities,

hey, what is your answer? What do you think? They're like the lifeline? They're like the lifeline. And here's the couple episodes that I watched, I think three or four are now available on Prime, Amazon Prime. But the person gets up there, they start to ask these questions. They pick a celebrity to stand there with them and ask the questions. If they get it wrong, if the contestant gets it wrong, they have another chance to get it right. If the celebrity gets it right, they get a lifeline. So they get to go on, they get to move on to the next. So I have a couple of questions for Natasha. Number one,

doesn't it feel miserable when you're the reason they lose? But I guess they already got the question wrong in the first place, so you can't feel too bad. And second of all, I don't know that I'd want to at all be on a television show where you have to answer grade school questions, because there's a reason why that show was so popular in the first place. It showed just how dumb America was. The grade schoolers were smarter than any adult ever. I don't think anyone ever won that million dollars. But then I also want to know, is Travis Kelce really seven foot 10 in real life? Because if you watch the show,

Natasha, when she gets up there, when it's like her turn to do it- Well, she's short. I know she's short. She's petite. But okay, let her be petite, fine. But he is a monster compared to anybody else that's on that show. A monster. He looks not like a monster monster, but a giant, like a green bean, like the giant green bean guy. Who's that? Jolly green giant? Telly green giant.

Looks like the Jolly green giant. Speaking of terrible foods we all ate as children, I just want to mention this real quick because I think it's too interesting not to talk about. Do you remember, you know Cheetos? Oh, I do. Okay. Cheetos is sprayed with a cheese type product. I don't think they can really call it cheese. I think it's a cheese type product, right? It's sprayed, the Cheetos are sprayed, these corn puffs are sprayed with this Cheeto. I didn't realize that. I thought they were made from real cheese.

That's what they say. I'm kidding. I mean, honestly, let's be real about it. Maybe at some point they were made with real cheese, but I don't think so anymore. But I don't know that. I don't want to cause slander. I don't know that for real. I haven't had a Cheeto in 20 years.

I don't know. I just had some the other day. Yeah. Well, at Mimfo, there was a bag sitting out and I was hungry and I was like, I'm going to go in for some Cheetos. They're delicious. Yeah. Listen, I'll going to go in for some Cheetos. They're delicious. Yeah.

Listen, I'll tell you what, my kids eat a Cheeto type product, but they're not Cheetos. They're like for kids, you know, they're supposed to be healthier and better and actually made with real cheese. I don't believe any of it. So anyway, that Cheetos stuff that you spray, that they spray on there, for some reason, and don't ask me why, this is how the strangest shit gets started. Some scientists decided they were going to spray that on bald lab rats. What? Lab rats that had their hair shaved off. And guess what happened?

They died. They turned translucent. They could see inside their bodies. What? Yes. Not even kidding. This is a true story. Scientists sprayed that cheetah. First of all, doesn't that just turn them orange? I mean, that's what I think, right? But it's an actual enzyme. It's a chemical that they put in it, right? They sprayed it and no fucking shit.

Those rats turned clear. They turned translucent and they could see inside their bodies. They could see their hearts beating, their muscles, their different organs. Yes, it is insane. So now they're moving on to the step where they do this for human beings or for primates and then for human beings to see if the same thing happens. And the scientist was explaining skin is nothing but these molecules, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, the light hits it, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. If you can take away, if you can make those molecules do something different, then you can see right in, you could be like a see-through person.

And I thought to myself, that is insane. But imagine the medical magic that will happen if you can actually turn yourself translucent. You would never have to have another pipe stuck up your ass or, you know, things stuck down your throat. Not I guess. I mean, I don't know if I want to see. Imagine you walk in with a broken bone and they just spray you with some Cheetos. They just tell you, here, take a bath and Cheeto does. Yeah, no, that's true.

I don't want to see it. There's a reason why it's on the inside. It's because it's not so good looking. But I just thought this was amazeballs. Amazing. First of all, second of all, who came up with this idea? I was going to say the same thing. How did you try it?

Let's experiment this. Yes. Why are we? Hey, guys, let's get together on Tuesday. We're going to spray some bald rats with Cheeto dust and see what happens. It's amazing. I don't know. Anyway, just, uh, keeping everybody abreast of all the really important stuff here. And there's so few, so few things going on in the United States right now, a week before the election that I thought I'd do that.

And while we're at it, go vote. Go fucking vote. Vote for democracy while you're at it. We had a record here in Georgia. I know a million people as of this past weekend had already voted. I will do that tomorrow before I get my throat slit in case I die.

I wanna make sure that I am part of keeping the United States strong and going for another couple of decades. That's right, Jimmy Carter voted. He did. Wow. If he can, you can. Well, if he can, definitely I can, that's for sure. Jimmy Carter is a hundred years old, looks every bit of a hundred, but good for him. He's still around, he's still kicking, and he's, yeah.

Still voting. He doesn't look so great, but he's voting, and that's all that matters. And so go out and vote. We think it's really important. This is it. This is the election, kids. I know we've said this for the last four elections, but this is the election. They keep on ratcheting up in pressure and circumstances and really consequences, and this is the one. So go vote and do the right thing. That's all I gotta say. No matter what you believe, no matter what your fiscal, social, economic policies, foreign policy leanings might be, do the right thing. And you know what that is. You don't have

to live on Mars to know what that is. So let's take a break, Chrissy, because I know people don't want to hear me talk about politics, so this would be a show about politics. Let's take a break. And then when we get back through the magic of tele-podcasting, we're going to have right here on our studio television, we're going to have Natasha Leggero. And we'll talk to her all about stuff. Natasha Leggero I'm excited. I'm excited. We'll talk to her all about stuff. I like it. We'll be back.

Thanks so much for joining us. How are you? Hi Natasha. Great with us now. Thanks so much for joining us. How are you? Hi, Natasha. Great to be here. On the set of your podcast, I can see, is the set of your podcast inside of your home, it must be with your partner? Yes, it is.

And this is- I love the wallpaper. Discontinued Hermes wallpaper. Oh, it's beautiful. I don't know how many road gigs I had to do to pay for this, but it was worth it. Yeah. And now no one else can have it.

Because Hermes stopped making wallpaper. I don't know why it was, they had so many cool options, but yeah, so now it's kind of like. I didn't know that Hermes made wallpaper, but I wouldn't be the guy who would know Hermes made wallpaper, just to be fair. I'm wearing a Pac-Man t-shirt. Your Pac-Man shirt, yeah, does kind of give it away. So it's not like...

What does it give, straight old white man vibes out? Is that, am I right? You have, in this podcast, you, I saw I was flipping through some of your reels and you said one of the funniest things that Chrissy and I talk about, which is you were talking about DJs and you and your husband were going back and forth about DJs and you're like, yeah, that's the kind of DJ that doesn't do shows or have an actual record contract,

but has stickers. And Chrissy and I talk about this all the time. We have these friends that'll say that, you know, oh, summer tour announced and it's like six open mics in the same place over the course of seven days, and you're like, that's not a tour, dude. That's you showing up and playing somewhere for free. I'm pretty sure you have to get paid to qualify for tour. My husband has somehow, first of all, too many hobbies. Why do men have so many hobbies?

So one of his hobbies right now, in addition to surfing and Burning Man prepping and Burning Man going to and Burning Man coming down, it actually ends up taking about like a quarter of the year. He also has become obsessed with DJing, because I guess he used to be a DJ, but I'm like, you're 44, why is there a beat dropping? It's noon, he is just doing it all day long.

And he's so into the, and he's like, you don't like this music? I'm like, this isn't even, these aren't even bands. Like who are these people? And he's like, oh, it's like mostly about the transition. So you don't even really understand how it works. Like for a good day, it's really like, Paris Hilton can do it, okay?

It's not like, what the hell? So he's like, for a good DJ, it's really, like, Paris Hilton can do it, okay? It's not like, what the hell? So he's like- If you have to explain where the creativity is in the music, pretty sure you're taking it a little bit too far, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's really into like 90s, there's like a lot of 90s trip hop. I don't know what the hell it is,

but it's just like, it's just definitely grating. And then, oh, and then when we're in the car, so when we're at home, he's got, he's doing the transitions loud. I'm like, can't you be, can't you have like headphones on? He's like, no, that's not how it works. And then he wants to listen to his wares in the car. So we'll be then like driving in the car

and then it has to be loud. And I'm just like, am I in hell? So this has been like sort of an ongoing debate. So I will often take the podcast as an opportunity to roast him on this. Yeah. The reason why husbands have, the reason why men have so many hobbies

is to shirk responsibility and stay out of the firing line of our wives. Yeah, golf, what are you talking about? You're just like getting drunk for eight hours, like in the day. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And you know what I've decided? Fuck golf.

I used to be a golfer. When I was like dating and didn't have children, I, you know, engage stuff like that. I used to think golf. I was like, golf, let's go golfing. It was a reason just to get drunk. It was like a pregame for the rest of the night when you'd eventually get into the cocaine and ecstasy. Beautiful scenery.

Beautiful scenery. You think you're out in nature. But I realized that golf is just screwing you constantly. You have to buy new clubs. You have to get the new thing. You pay $180 to get on on the course. And then there's, and then what is the prize? The prize is I'm extraordinarily frustrated, hot, sweaty, and I now have a hangover at three o'clock in the afternoon and I can't do anything for the rest of the day. It's fucked up. I say golf is a sport that screws you. It's not a sport that at the end of the day is very much fun unless you're really good at it.

Is your husband, does he golf? Oh no, no, he surfs and he's really bad at it. And I'm afraid he's gonna like. I was hoping that the guy that. Get brain damage. So I make him wear a helmet. Actually I told Tony Hawk that I did his podcast and he was laughing.

They were just making fun of my husband so hard. They're like, he's wearing a helmet? And I'm like, yes, and don't tell him not to, okay? It's like, I need his help, okay? He's the cook of the family. He drives everywhere. He's an essential part of this family. Wait, but Natasha, do you really make him wear a helmet?

Is he really wearing a helmet? Yeah, but a surfing helmet's kind of cute. It's not like he's wearing like a big old, you know, surfing helmets are kind of like really flat to your head. They're like black. They have like a little like bill, so you could like maybe not get the sun out of your eyes.

I think they look kind of cool. The chin strap's slightly humiliating, but you know what? I flew planes like right before we decided to have children. I started, I decided I was having a midlife crisis. So let me go learn how to fly a plane, even though I'm terrified of heights and I'm not good at driving things. I'm like, let me go fly a plane.

So I take like 10, 12, 15 lessons. And you were really into that. And the second that my wife told me she was pregnant, it was like within the minute of saying she was pregnant, she was like, oh, honey, I'm pregnant. And the overjoyed, excited, and she goes, by the way, you can't fly anymore. You're going to be done with that. And I was like, yeah, okay, all right. And I understood. And I think that at some point, you have to know that safety comes first. It just does, because as we get older, we realize our mortality.

You can't be out there flying around in the Great Barrier Reef without a helmet. What if he dies, then what are you gonna do? Then you have to raise. And it's so crazy, like, you know, before you have kids, even before I was married in the courting stage, I wanted to seem like I was this really cool, you know, this cool lady.

And I'd be like, oh yeah, let's go whitewater rafting without a helmet. That sounds fun. And like my risk factor was like through the roof. And like now I'm kind of like, no, I don't want to do any of this. I went to Burning Man three times. Like you just end up doing all this stuff.

And then what happens now, what I'm going through is not to share overshare, but like, you know, as you start to lose estrogen and approach periomenopause, it's like estrogen is what makes you tolerant. So like all of a sudden, all of your tolerance is just like getting sucked out of you. And so that's why the podcast has been so great because I can just start bringing up all my grievances.

Yeah. Yes, it's for the content, honey. We're doing it for the content, but he's probably smart enough to understand. So, hey, congratulations on the new show on Prime, Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? And I was telling the audience in the intro, this is likely, it's based off of,

Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? Which was a highly extraordinarily popular show. It was like the number one game show. And now as this read, how they've redone it, I mean, I was just happy anyone was calling me a celebrity, to be honest. But yeah, it's- Of course you are.

It was so fun. And I got to be with a bunch of fellow comedians, Ron Funches, Nicole Byer, Lily Singh. It was such a fun experience and crazy. These are elementary school questions. I know, we were talking about that. Some of it was really traumatizing because you start to realize,

I mean some of the math stuff, I'm like, I don't know even where I would begin with this. Science, you know, I think we all had our strengths and it was really fun too, like seeing our fellow comedians, like what their strengths are. Because we all kind of relate on this comedy goof off level, but really, who are we, who were we,

as elementary students and school students? And how well did we retain that information? Yeah, it was pretty fascinating and surprising. I was pretty shocked actually. It was the opposite. I was kind of shocked how, I don't want to give too much away, but how much people did know and I was not one of those people who knew a lot.

I wouldn't be. That's not true, you did okay. Let me, well I mean, I do okay in certain areas. You, I'll give away one. I wanna give away two, actually, because I wanna ask you a question. But the one that you got was, where was Frida born?

Where was she born? Do you know the answer to that? That's easy. What's that? Frida Kahlo? I didn't think so. I just got back from Spain and there was, and I did not know this because I could have sworn

I got this like Frida everywhere in Spain, right? And so just for some reason, everywhere. I mean, she's everywhere everywhere, right? I agree with you. I thought she was born in Spain. And I was for some reason, I was playing along with the game show, like we all do. And I was like, oh, I think it's Spain.

And then everyone was like, Columbia, Argentina. And you said you were right. And I was like, wow. They are it's Spain. And then everyone was like, Columbia, Argentina. And you said you were right. And I was like, wow. They are gonna cut this out. Wait, spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. It's one question. They can beep it.

Really, they're gonna cut it out? Please beep it. Okay, I'll beep it. Yes, no, I was, well, I was an art minor. So anything that is like even vaguely connected to art or music, like I could kind of, I kind of, especially at the elementary level, I definitely could triumph at.

But you know, anything, they were hard. These things are hard. Even the ones that they told me the answer, you know, I probably wouldn't remember. It's hard to, as you get older too, to retain information. I agree with you 100%. We have so much information coming at us all the time too. It's hard to kind of decipher and retain stuff.

I think that must have something to do with it. Like all the amount of information is at our fingertips. Like we don't have to know information because Google knows information or wherever you choose to search. It knows the information. So we don't take the time to learn it anymore. We just know the answer is at our fingertips. Yeah, or like phone numbers, all the phone numbers we used to know. If I went to jail today, like I had the jail phone numbers, you know, if I got busted on it,

like, you know, whatever, a long night of drinking, I ended up in the drunk tank. I knew that I could rely on my brain to have at least 10 phone numbers available that I didn't have to have anything else with me. I just know them. Now I might know my wife's phone number. I know one, yeah. Yeah, for sure. When you are, when you, this Travis Kelce

is the host of this, when you're, when you meet him, did you realize how large of a human being he was? I mean, on the show, he looks like the Jolly Green Giant. He is huge, tall, I mean tall. So anyone standing next to me looks very large, but yes, he is a very strapping lad, I would say. And I mean, he's a football player, football, right? I don't, right, track of sports.

But I mean, football is like, isn't that like the biggest, meatiest one that you have to be? Like. I think the meatiest one, yes. And I do think a lot of them are tall because that's just how we grow human beings these days. So if you're big, then you guys are gonna be tall.

I mean, my daughter is huge. She's like one and a half years old. She's huge. She's clearly gonna be much taller than I am. And I'm not a particularly tall person either. But he just, compared to anybody on the set, it seems like he is so, so big. I don't know, that would seem a little like unnerving to me,

I think, if the host was so very big. I'd be like, I'm a little scared of what's going on here. Did you, how many episodes did you tape altogether? What's going on here? Did you, how many episodes did you tape altogether? It's a blur. I don't remember, no, I'm sorry. I wanna say 10, but I don't remember if it was five or 10, but let's say 10.

Let's go to 10. Okay. And, but yeah, yes, cause there's 20 episodes total. And it was just so fun being, it was almost like a cast that we were a part of and it was the same people, a lot of the same people. And it was just so fun, kind of getting back to the old days of comedy where all the comics would hang out with each other.

And we're a little more separated now. And I think that there's a lot of division happening and also COVID, people just started going out less and we don't see each other at auditions anymore. So much stuff is on Zoom. And so, you know, I mean, we can still see each other at standup and that's still fun. But you know, shows like this I live for

because we all get to hang out. And you know, it's like I said, it's like the old days. And I think it really shows when you watch it, we're all just having fun with each other and with Travis. And let me just say one thing about Travis. I don't think we mentioned this. He freaking killed it. I mean, the guy, he's like a star football player

and he's good at football, right? He's like one of the good ones. Yeah. So he's a star football player. And then he came in and he was so disarming. He was so good at his job. You could tell he really worked on it. He really took the job seriously.

But then he was also being fun and funny and not taking himself too seriously and just down for like us to make fun of him and you know, play around. And I just, I really thought he killed it and I think he has a bright future. Yes. If we didn't already know that. I really thought he killed it and I think he has a bright future. Yes.

If we didn't already know that. I do have to, I will agree with you on this, Natasha. I do have to say that I think he did an extraordinary job. Like the guy has the it factor. He may be a football player and that might be what he started his career off in when we look back on this 20 years from now, but he does seem to have the it factor. He knows how to handle himself.

He knows how to handle a crowd. He's good with the contestants. He interjects in a funny and a charming way. He naturally fits the role. Which I'm sure is not always an easy one. And I also think he likes comedy. He was laughing at the jokes and really getting them. Yeah, it was just, he made the whole thing really fun

and I heard his girlfriend's cool. I don't know, he just seems like he has a lot going on. Yeah. He does. I'm sure Taylor Swift was not on set with you at the time of that. No, she actually was at Tay-Tay's sighting and I did not see her, but the day before I left,

there was some hubbub that she was there. And I don't wanna give too much away. They seem to be so supportive of each other. They're like always showing up together. Yeah, makes you root for them. It honestly does. It's like the opposite of me and my husband where I like make fun of him whenever we're in public.

They're like, wow, they're so unsupportive of each other. They're like, wow, they're so unsupportive of each other. It's really interesting. It really makes me feel better about my marriage. Yes, I agree with you. We have listeners that are rooting for the downfall of my marriage constantly. They're like, anyway. Okay, so 20 episodes altogether, but here's why I ask how many of these you put together. It's because I wanna know, is it, do you feel any kind of way sometimes

when it's you're the person or you're the reason why someone may have to exit the show? It's like feel bad. So honestly, it's the worst part about the show, I have to say, cause I'm talking about how fun it is to be with my fellow comedians. But you know, I was on $10,000 pyramid or whatever it's called, $100,000 pyramid.

And my cast started crying because I did not know any of the answers. And I felt so bad. And I feel like whoever cast, are you smarter than a celebrity did such a good job. Cause these guys were like, the contestants were just so amazing and they really were like kind of heartfelt and they all had these like noble pursuits

that they wanted to do with the money. But you know, they also really seemed to have a good perspective and they knew what the show was and they weren't like, you know, taking it too seriously. Like I think they were just happy to be there. But yeah, it was so fun. So I didn't feel that much pressure,

but you know, I've had those situations in the past where I just did feel really bad because I don't know, I don't know these answers, I'm sorry, like I'm trying. But like, there's so much riding on it, and you just don't wanna like be the thing that is making someone be like, oh, well thanks to you, now, you know, my child doesn't get to go to that special school

that she needs for her ADHD. That's what I was saving up for. Yeah. I was putting myself in your shoes a little bit. Like I couldn't, I mean, you know, I have empathy for people. Like most of us do, I put myself in somebody's shoes and I'm like, damn, that's gotta be tough

when someone loses. And listen, to be fair, the way the rules work, it's not 100% on the celebrity, at least not that I've seen yet. And so when you do get an answer wrong, it's just part of the game, it's part of what it is. Did you really go on $100,000 pyramid and have the contestant cry when she was like so upset

that you didn't know some of these answers? I mean, to be fair, she cried as soon as the commercial break started. So she didn't save it for... Oh, God. She wasn't bawling, but I could just tell I really let her down. And that doesn't feel good. And I took it seriously, but ultimately it comes down to

you either know these things or you don't. And you always try to help. And I took it seriously, but you know, ultimately it comes down to you either know these things or you don't. And you always try to help. And I've also helped a lot of charities win thousands of dollars. So, you know, it's like, it's a crap shoot. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but yeah. There was nothing like that on the show.

The show was really like fun and good spirited. Super vibey, like positive. Yeah, it's a very positive show. And you know, honestly, so much of that was Travis. Like I learned that early on in show business. It's like whoever is the star can really set the tone for the whole show. And you know, they can play with the crew

and know everyone's name and have that like positive energy that they're, and positive energy with energy with even the audience that's been sitting there for eight hours and they're bored because they're just audience members. It's like he really was able to keep the energy up and going and just really the positive vibes. It's a feat because a lot of times too, you've got all these people fawning on you. Do you want this? Do you want this? Do you because a lot of times too,

you've got all these people fawning on you, do you want this, do you want this, do you need a coffee, more makeup, whatever you need. And then to be able to bypass all of that and still be an extra cool person, and it's hard and it takes a lot of inner strength and not to go too hard on Travis. But I recognized him as being one of those people

who was able to set the tone. Honestly, I try to do it and it's hard because then people will bring you ice cream and jewelry and finally you're like, where's my 3 p.m. latte? Why are there only six chocolate chips in my muffin? Yeah, like the entertainment industry is constantly testing you on that because people will bring you anything you want

and people will tell you you're amazing when you're not. So, you know, anyone who's able to bring those like positive vibes and having it show on camera, I'm very impressed with. Yeah, my brother has said this before about the entertainment business. He has said that certain people he's worked with, they have been less than stellar to the people around them,

but then he quickly qualifies that by saying, but you have to understand when you're on a television set or a movie set of a highly popular anticipated movie, whatever it is, it's a different world where everything is at their fingertips and they do nothing except read the lines and get that right. That's their job. So everybody else is there to cater to them.

So when they fuss, right, it's because the kind of the screen has been broken, the fourth wall has been broken of all this wonderfulness and now something has happened and it irritates them and he goes, you can only imagine being a human being that's weighted on hand and foot and then something irritates you and all of a sudden you're the dick, right? And then he said, but it's just the world that they present to you. It's like a whole different universe. I can't, I mean, I don't know what that's like. No one weights on me hand and foot. Here, Chrissy, get me my coffee. Chrissy Larkin Well, what's funny is it's like, all you have to do is have a kid and then it all comes back full circle and then you become a servant to a child.

Oh, Natasha, don't you know it? Yes. Which is my other job. Yeah, so how, so you have a daughter, right? I have a six-year-old. A six-year-old daughter. So it's a wonderful age. I have a six-year-old child also.

I think it's a wonderful age. They can communicate, you can talk to them. There's some reciprocity in conversation. I manage, they have less meltdowns. I can manage to talk them off the ledge sometimes. Parenting by distraction is not something I do as often. Do you, I'm an older father. I'm in my something 40s.

And I love it because I feel like I have some, I think I'm attuned to some things that maybe as a 20 something, like an early 20 something, like a lot of my parents, like a lot of my friends had kids, I don't think I would have been as attuned to, I think I would have been irritated and irritable and quick to go do something else, right? And hung over.

And hung over. And also, you know, 20 year olds, I'm reading this book, The Anxious Generation, and you know, I think they have a different Anxious Generation, and I think they have a different connection to their phones, and I think that they don't really realize that technology is going to kill us. And did I say that?

And they just give their kids phones. And I think as we remember life without phones and our childhood without phones, and so I think we're more like apt to try to recreate some of those moments for our kids more than maybe younger parents would. You know, my daughter came home and she said that the teacher asked all the kids

in first grade what they wanted to be when they grew up. And she said every boy in the class said they wanted to be a YouTuber. Two of the girls, my daughter included, want to be pop stars. And then another girl, she said, wants to walk the red rope. And I was like, the red rope?

And I was like, oh, the red carpet. And I was like, you know, that's not a job. That's actually like a result of a job. So I mean, these kids, and then all these Sephora kids, these eight-year-olds have skincare routines. They're taking better care of their skin than me. And it's just like, what is this? And it's all YouTube and it's all the corporations.

And so it can be, it's a very challenging area to navigate. And I think with the schools, trying to find like-minded parents can be very helpful. Was this even a question? This is just on my mind. No, I enjoy the conversation. I like talking to other parents and my point of view was that as an older father, and I say older doesn't mean I'm old, I'm just saying a father who doesn't have kids in their 20s, that I appreciate the moments that are coming. I realize they're not going to last forever. I'm not pushing them to grow up. I like where I'm at. I'm more appreciative, I think, of things in general, of life in general. And I do also understand that there is life outside of a telephone

or an iPad. Raising your daughter, are you fighting the same battles that I am? Like, I want my iPad, I want your iPhone. I want your- I'm actually fighting battles with my husband. Cause he's five years younger than me. And so I'm like, I think just maybe it's my generation or age, but like, I kind of feel like I'm better than social media.

Like I don't want to spend my time on it. And this whole idea that they talk about in this book I'm reading, the Jonathan Hape book, is just being forever elsewhere. And I told my husband, I'm like, she goes to school at 8, 10. She's back at 4, 45. You can look at your phone from 8, 10 until 4, 45, like just stare at it all day long.

I don't care, but like when we're with our kid, you know, cause like it is a weird thing to be like, no iPad, no social media, no technology. And then we're just like completely addicted to our phones. It's like, you obviously have to be modeling this. And also who wouldn't benefit from like a couple hours a day where you're like, you know what, I'm gonna dedicate these hours to not being on my phone.

It's like, can you imagine anyone who's like, yeah, this has been really bad for me? I mean, actually maybe some 20-year-olds would be. I mean, I talked to this girl in her 20s recently, I worked with her and she was like, I go, have you ever been away from your phone? She's like, yeah, well, I was abroad and I lost it for about eight hours.

And it was a very stressful period for me. I just did eight hours. No, it was rough. Oh my God. So I guess my big battle, I didn't buy my kid an iPad, so she doesn't really know about that and I've never really emphasized screen time that much. But the problem with screen time is like,

hey, I need a break. So I try to put on TV for her, and that just feels a little better than her being in control of changing a screen and having her synapses moving around so fast. And with him, it's like, is there any way you can not be on the phone? So we've got a rule that we're not on the phone for dinner.

And I think that's really helpful because I have friends who have teenagers and they'll send me videos and I'll just look and I'm like, wait, your kids are just like staring at their phones during dinner. Like I cannot deal with this. It's so crazy. Yeah, no, I'm a big dinner. You know, but I do have to also have to say this.

Astrid and I, we get married. Astrid, I love this name. We know we're gonna have kids that- Her name's Astrid. Her name is Astrid, yeah. That's the best name. Her name is Astrid, yeah. That's the best name. Her name is Astrid. What should I name my kid that?

She's just as beautiful as her name indicates. She is. She's just as beautiful of a human being as her name indicates. She, Astrid. Oh, that's how they say it in Spain. We just got back from Spain and they say Astrid. And it's so-

You should start calling her that. Extra sexy. That would make me go. Astrid. Yeah. Astrid. Yeah. Oh, Astrid.

She and I are, you know, we're brand new couple or we got engaged, we're just married or whatever. We watch the families around the, we're out to eat and we watch a family and we see all the kids with the iPads and we're like, never, never gonna happen to me. Never gonna do that. Never, ever, ever. And then you realize that as a parent,

you do need a fucking break and you need 15 minutes without chaos. And is you realize that as a parent, you do need a fucking break and you need 15 minutes without chaos. And is it possible for us to go out to dinner without someone throwing a plate of pasta on the waiter? Like, is that possible? Can we do that? And it becomes, it's such an easy crutch.

But we also tend to default to the television too, because we have a rule with all of our kids, no screens that you can hold at all during any weekday period whatsoever. But maybe you can watch some TV because that gives us a break. But I read also that the televisions are different than the screens that you can control.

You're so right about that. It's just so difficult. Raising kids, there's so much difficult things that are difficult about it. And I'm so much difficult things that are difficult about it, and I'm sure there are things that are easier about it, but raising kids in 2024 is just full of pitfalls, and I'm glad I'm doing it now, I suppose. I was 22.

It also depends on what's important to you. Like, you know, motion art comedians, and like, I've always loved repartee and conversation, and I want to be able to like, have conversation with my kid. If you don't really wanna talk to your kid, then yes, you should definitely give them an iPad and they'll leave you alone

and you can just have your cool life. But I don't know, I wanna incorporate it into our family life. And so, you know, I think that, I think that, yeah, just teaching them conversation. And we do this thing called Rose Bud Thorn. I'm sure you've heard of this where like you go around the room and you say, your rose, the best thing

that happened to you today, your bud, the one thing you're looking forward to happening to you, you know, happening tomorrow, and then your thorn, the worst part about your day. And honestly, that usually gets you through, not divorce, dessert. Dessert. Dessert.

No, but yeah, so that kind of gets you through the whole meal and then it's like once that's done and sometimes she's annoyed, but ultimately, then when they bring it up, it kind of warms your heart. They wanna start talking and also it's really challenging to get things out of your kid. Like we're not really, once your kids start school, you're only really seeing them for like three hours a day,

four hours a day max. And it's really hard to get anything out of them. It's like, what'd you do? I don't know. You know, they won't tell you anything about. So yeah, good, fine. What'd you eat? I don't remember.

It's just like, so the more you can engage with them, the more you can kind of start to figure out like, oh, this is going on or this isn't going on or what's, my daughter's so funny. She's like, she wasn't going to gym and she's like, yeah, I just go to the nurse's office for gym. And I was like, what? Is that an option?

She's like, yeah. Well, you know, mom, my legs weren't feeling good and I have to listen to my body. And I'm like, how do I argue with that? What is happening? But like, you know, I'm glad I know that. And I'm glad that like, I'm now privy to what scams

she's running with the school and with nature. So I can like, you know, follow up on it and yeah, I'm really enjoying being a parent though. I love it and it just gets better and it's, you know, it's really like such massive value shifts and yeah, it's just great. I love it. I have to tell you this.

One of my sons, he started this, the new school when he went to kindergarten. And the school was much bigger than the preschool he was going to and all this other stuff. So we were obviously naturally concerned about his wellbeing and how's he doing? How are you adjusting all that other stuff? The first week, he would not say a fucking word to us for hours. He was not, he wouldn't say anything about school. And I was getting concerned. I'm like, oh my God, you know, I'm like in my own head about this whole thing, projecting onto him.

Are you okay? Did anything happen? Was it bad? Was it good? And so finally, like week number two, he gets in the car and I say, Matt, just give me like one word. Was it good?

Was it bad? Did you like it? And he goes, I just need time to myself after a long day at school. And I was like. First of all, these kids have too many boundaries. Yeah. I know. to myself after a long day at school. What's that like? First of all, fun. These kids have too many boundaries. Yeah, I know.

I was like, first of all, fuck you, second of all, thank you, I really appreciate it. No, we're like, you want an ice cream cone? Maybe then you'll tell me who you sat next to during lunch. No. We're too overwhelming too. Bribery is a form of parenting. Yeah, like we probably.

I know. Why are we even asking them? I don't know, it's like, we're kind overwhelming too. Brivary is a form of parenting. Yeah, like we probably, why are we even asking them? I don't know, it's like, we're kind of too on them and they're like, it's very, yes, it's so hard to navigate. And honestly, I had to get off social media because I did not find the, whatever my algorithm was of like new mom, all these like doctors with first names who were younger than me, telling me what to not say to my child and what to say to my child

and you know, how to pack their bento box. And it was just like, it's just every time I would log onto Instagram, it was someone telling me I was doing everything wrong. And yeah, so I just needed to have a little bit of distance and boundaries with that. It's the politics of fear. I'll tell you one thing,

I read a National Geographic article over the weekend and they were talking about a tribe somewhere that spends almost 24 hours with their child until they're like 18 years old. They never separate from their child ever. But the one thing that scientists noticed was that the parents almost never actually pay attention to them. So, the parents

have conversations. They go hunt, they clean the food, they do the whatever, they go into the village, they get water. They almost never talk to the kids. Never. They just ignore them the entire time. So you're saying that was proven as a positive thing? It was proven as a positive thing. And it was like the kids know they're loved and they're paid attention to and they're held and they're coddled in physical ways. But as far as mentally and emotionally, they don't, the parents don't stimulate the children, the children are supposed to still stimulate the children and they are to be just, you know, not heard essentially from

the rest of the tribe. And it was a positive thing. And I think to myself, I can't go one fucking minute without having a meaning, like having some, trying to have some, in part, some wisdom on my children. And I'm like, you know what? I did just fine. And my dad didn't talk to me until I was 36 years old. I was fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

I swear to God, I'm okay. You're almost a YouTuber. Let's face it, you're living the dream. Hey, I know. That's the problem now is that I try and tell my children, I'm like, listen, those people, all they want is, you know, they're just in for their 15 minutes of fame. And then I think to myself, so are you, you asshole. You're there for two. Hey, Natasha, it's been great. I want to tell you one thing. Chrissy and I are big fans of your Comedy Central show. I just loved that show, another period. It was another period.

Yeah. Thank you. Streaming on Paramount Plus, another period, three seasons. Yeah. And then I was trying to think like, sometimes when guests come on, I'm trying to think of the first time that I saw them doing something.

And I vaguely remember until I Googled it and figured it out that you were on this weird MTV reality show called That 70s House. That was my first job. I know, I went and I watched a few episodes. I watched it on the airplane actually. I had downloaded that show from YouTube and it is so fascinating.

What is high period? Yes, it's on YouTube. Well, anything's on YouTube. I'm sure it's not legally on YouTube, but it's on YouTube. They have all of the episodes up there on YouTube. The 70s house and I put Dawn and basically, it's kind of ahead of its time to be honest. And it was like a fake reality show.

And I play this woman who's come straight out of the 70s to, and I take all the cell phones and computers away from this group of teenagers, and this is like 20 years ago, and they have to just live in this house like it's the 70s, and it was pretty fascinating. I had so much fun. I mean, I didn't really interact with them as myself.

I was kind of this character, but it's, I mean, re-watching it, the show is actually really good. If you want a little snapshot of what 2005 was like. Now, on the one on YouTube that I saw, the version I saw, it had the commercials included. So it was like someone obviously VHS'd it and then put it on YouTube. Like a lot of these shows are done.

And it is a snapshot of 2005. Like a lot of these shows are done. And it is a snapshot of 2005. It is ahead of its time. And it's kind of a quirky little fun little watch if you wanna go watch it. Okay. Well, I might revisit that. Well, I did.

It was a lot of fun. Go watch yourself 20 years ago. Are you smarter than a celebrity is streaming now on Prime. Endless Honeymoon. One question, was the podcast first or was the Netflix special first? What was first?

Our podcast was first and our Netflix special, the Honeymoon Stand-Up special, that's something that we taped in Austin. But yeah, we were doing it kind of live on the road and calling people up and giving relationship advice. And my husband's been sober for almost, I think 30 years. And I've had maybe 10 serious relationships.

So I think together, together we've been able to, and it's been really fun also seeing a lot of young people calling in. So many of our fans are young people and just being able to talk to them about what it's like being married and giving them a little bit of perspective. It's very rewarding and I think we all kind of got each other through the pandemic.

We really souped it up during the pandemic because we had nothing else to do. So we were doing two a week and it really kind of strengthened the fan base and it's just been such a great thing. I really love doing the podcast, the Endless Honeymoon podcast, now on Dear Media. I just started listening a couple of days ago. Yeah, on which media?

Dear Media. Who are you with? Oh, Dear Media, great company. That's where it lives, yeah. Yeah, I just started listening. I think it's great. Congratulations on the show. We were both big fans of yours. So thank you for coming on.

You're welcome back anytime. Awesome. Thank you guys so much. Hopefully one day I'll see you. Yeah, thanks. Thanks Natasha. Yes, come to Atlanta. I do. Astrid will cook you a Venezuelan dish.

Oh, awesome. Some empanadas maybe. All right, thank you guys. Thank you. Bye. Bye. My darlings, my angels guys. Thank you, bye. My darlings, my angels, my sweet little cherubs, it's that time again where I try to convince you

to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast. We really don't post that much, so it's no skin off your nose. If you'd like to get in touch with us directly, you can text us or call us and leave us a voicemail at 212-433-3TCB. You know we are just sitting by the phone waiting with bated breath for you to call, so please leave us an Ask TCB and we'll give you some mildly concerning advice. Peace and blessings.

Ah, Natasha, what a great deal of fun. I like Natasha. She's just a happy person and so smart, witty, funny. She's smart. She's witty. She's one of those people where you get nervous about talking to her because you know you're outwitted. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, exactly. Like you're actually outwitted. So you go, well, I just hope I can hold my own during the conversation. No, she was perfectly pleasant. And she's been in so many things that we've all seen. She's also, I forgot to, and we didn't have a ton of time, and that's my fault. I had to cut it short,

this particular interview, not hers. She offered her time. But she's also been in a lot of those roasts. She's done a lot of the roasts. Beth Dombkowski She does a great job at those. Jared Sussman Yeah. The Netflix special is really good. You should go watch it. I think it's like, I want to say that it's three hours long altogether. She does a stand up 30 or 40 minutes. Her husband does a stand up 30 or 40 minutes. They come together and then they answer questions from the audience as Endless Honeymoon. And it's really good. So go check that out on Netflix. And then, wow, did she have a glowing review for Travis or what?

I know. Now I realize that she's working with Travis, right? That she's got to say nice things. No, he just sounds, he seems like a genuinely great guy. He does. He seems like a genuinely sweet person. And yeah, listen, I haven't heard anything bad about Travis Kelsey, have you? No. Yeah, and you'd think you'd probably get that through the rumor mill.

Like, oh, Travis is a dick, he doesn't tip, he's said bad things, he pushes people around, he's batting away photographers. He seems to be taking this all very much in stride, especially after his star has risen even more than it was already rosen when he started dating Taylor Swift. But hey, listen, I'm rooting for them. I am officially rooting for them. I have been since the beginning.

Well, good for you. Christy's been on that bandwagon since the very beginning. I just jumped on the bandwagon right after we talked to Natasha. I said, okay, all right, I'll give those two a try. All right, okay. Why not? Ah, you know, I can't be a dick to everybody, so why not? And hey, listen, there's the smallest chance that Travis would take a break from his, you know, 10 million download a day podcast to come on the commercial break. Yeah, a little cross promotion.

Well, listen, he needs it more than we do. But, you know, if he asked, I guess I'd say, okay. We'd be willing to offer ourselves. Travis, if you need a little boost, I'm there for you, buddy. Don't you worry about it. A commercial break is always here for you. I got to tell you something. So, the other day we got an email from a person. We got an email from a person. From a person? From a person. I don't want to give away any details here because I think they're very lovely and there's nothing bad to say. But they said, hey, listen, I listen to your show, I think it's great.

I also have a podcast, me and my friend have a podcast. I think we are extremely similar, and I think it would do us both a bunch of good to cross promote each other. Now, for those of you that don't know, cross promoting is when we talk about the other person's show on our show or we run ads. Now, we're part of the Odyssey Network,

so sometimes you'll hear other Odyssey show advertisements inside of our show. Those are, you know, we do those because we're with the Odyssey Network and we want to show them love. They do the same thing for us. But this was not one of those. This was like a cold email, like, hey, I love you guys, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Nicole Soule-Nichols-Geef-Miyazaki Reminds me of our old days, our beginning days. It does. It does. We used to try and get those too. We used to do the same thing, by the way, the same thing. So I say, hey, thank you very much for the kind words

and great to know you're a fan of the show. What's one of your favorite episodes? I just wanted to like push a little bit on it and I just make sure that they're actually listening to the show. And then I said, number two, give me an idea of how many people are listening and we'll make sure that, you know, there's some reciprocity here. That's the best way to do it. And I think anyone who knows how to do this would agree with that.

And so they respond, like, lickety split, they respond. And they say, well, my favorite episodes are your guest episodes. And I really loved the episode you did with Neil deGrasse Tyson. And we're up to her about 200 downloads. And so I responded and I go, well, I'm sure Neil was great on our show, but I don't remember being a part of the conversation. However, I am full of calcium, so I may not remember. Just let me know. And then I said, 200 downloads per day? You know, per day. And then they said, no, we're up to 200 downloads total.

And then they insisted that Neil deGrasse had been on the show. And they said, no, that episode where you did with Neil deGrasse Tyson and you guys were laughing about Mars. And I was like, yeah, I got nothing. I got nothing. I said, listen, I'm sure this would be.

We would love for that to happen. Yeah, hey listen, Neil deGrasse is on the list. If the booking agency finds Neil deGrasse Tyson in a bad way and he really needs to get himself out there again, well then he's welcome to come on the show. But otherwise it's Natasha Lazaro, who is just wonderful by the way. Are you smarter than a celebrity?

The first three episodes, maybe by the time, yeah, no, first three episodes, there are three more that'll drop tomorrow on Wednesday, but the first three episodes are available on Prime now. Natasha, Nikki Glaser, Ron Fuches, a bunch of people are on that show. I think you'll find it entertaining. When they put out quite a few episodes at once

to kind of give you the flavor. I agree. I made it through two and some change. But we realized we were gonna interview her yesterday. So there's only so much I could do in one day. And then she's got the podcast Endless Honeymoon. And her book, The World Deserves My Children. The World Deserves My Children.

I look forward to listening to it on audio. Yes, I do love those audio books. And then you can find her on all the socials. I think it's nsashaolajero.com. She does tour still. She goes and does live shows. She actually postponed her shows in Dania Point also. Oh.

Yes, so there you go. I don't know if it was because of calcium, but we'll have to ask her next time she comes on the show. It might have been the storm or something. Oh, that's true. It might have been the storm. But anyway, you know how you can, all that about Natasha,

we got to tell you a little bit about ourselves too. So here's how you do it. We would love to know which celebrity, which, which celebrity, which charity you would like us to get behind for the 12 days of TCB, the 12 days leading up to Christmas. So the 13th through the 25th, Chrissy and I are going to be doing an episode every single day, celebrity guests and all that other stuff. We're going to be doing it for a good cause. We're going to be doing it for a good cause. We're going to encourage people to go and to donate to charities.

But we need a couple of suggestions because it could be, I'm going to pick one, Chrissy will pick one, and then you'll pick one or two, and then we'll go from there. So let me know what your favorite charity is. Let me know why it's your favorite charity. And let's make sure that they're not, you know, using 98% of their budget on advertising.
