On this episode of the Commercial Break. Hey, cats and kittens. It's Rachel, and I'll be your tour guide as we all navigate the next 12 hours of TCB's endless day. It's a 12, maybe 13-ish, episode marathon, celebrating five years of mediocre comedy podcasting excellence. Hard to believe we've let these two do this for so long. Let's all talk about it when this is done.

So whether you're just getting up or just getting in, we're keeping you company for at least the next 12 hours. Grab some caffeine, load up the carbs, lock the kids in the basement, and ignore the phone. The first hour of our endless day starts now. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. of the commercial break starts now. Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome to TCB's Endless Day. I'm Brian Gray and this is Chrissy Hodley.

Best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Sounds totally unnatural to do the opening that way. I'm not gonna do that again. I'm just gonna do a regular opening. Do a regular opening. Yeah, I didn't like that. I didn't like the way that rolled out, but welcome to TCB's endless day against all

odds. I think we've gotten this first one licked. We'll see how the rest of the day goes. We are celebrating five years of the commercial break, 700 and by the time we get done with this day, 72 episodes of the commercial break according to Chad GPT over 13 million words spoken 896 hours of the show could anybody have ever dreamed and could anyone have the worst nightmare in the world and think about the most mediocre comedy podcast you could put out there and then replicate it 772 times. This is quite a feat I think we have accomplished here. I think so too.

And so let this be our last. Today, at the end of the day, we're done. We're retired. I'm retired. Well, this is certainly the earliest we have ever recorded. I was going to say the same thing. Rise and shine, campers. Yeah, seriously.

And I know we have some people out there who are listening to us because we've had lots of text messages. Thank you very much to everyone who has texted in, giving us love and support. I just got a text message from one of our listeners that said, it's perfectly okay if you guys just run TCB Classics next week. And that's good news because that's exactly

what I intend to do. At least one, at least one at least one I'm not getting back to a regular episode till July 31st For sure. I went to Starbucks this morning a little earlier than I normally show up on a Saturday and the crew took note of how early I was in and So I just sat at the end of the little bar there for a second drinking coffee having breakfast Which I never do never have breakfast, which I never do, never have breakfast, but I thought I better get some breakfast in me

or I'm gonna pot out. Yeah, get a little fuel. Yeah, get a little fuel for the rest of the day. And so I told you that like there was one or two people I think that are on, I know they're onto it because they've said they're onto it. They know that I do the commercial break, but by and large, no one ever talks to me about it.

Like they don't ask me about it. I don't get a lot of questions. And so my impression was that it was just this one or two people that knew, and even one of the guys said, hey, I won't say anything to anybody. And I'm like, well, it's not that big of a deal. I just don't want to talk about my podcast at Starbucks, right? It's just one of those things that I don't want to do.

I talk about it all fucking day long. I don't want to talk about it here. And, uh, OK, so then there's this lovely manager lady who's been there since the day that I walked in the door. She's been there since the store opened, which is like, I don't know, a decade ago. So, uh, she's a very lovely human being. We always have a small or nice conversation

every time I go in, so I kind of know her, she kind of knows me. She's in there making the drinks with a couple of other people. It's very early, it's not very busy. Sitting at the end of the bar, and I kind of know her, she kind of knows me. She's in there making the drinks with a couple of other people, it's very early, it's not very busy, sitting at the end of the bar, and I start wrapping up, put my trash away, and getting ready to go.

And she goes, hey, Brian, I hope you get some time to yourself today. I hope you get a break. And I said, oh, okay, thank you. And she goes, I know you got a long day ahead of you. Oh. And winked at me, and I was like. And winked. Oh, shit. It's official, I have to find day ahead of me. Oh. And winked at me. And I was like, oh shit.

It's official. I have to find a new coffee shop. I can never go back there again. No, they seem very respectful of your celebrity status. They do. Thank God. I wouldn't want, if they started calling the paparazzi and stuff, I think that would be rather bothersome.

I think they're secret safe within the confines. Yeah. I don't even like when Astrid comes in here and takes a picture. She's like, let me take a picture of you guys. And I'm like, I don't like that. I don't want that. I want to be in my own little bubble here. And then never-

It is our little dark bubble. The good news is, no one's listening to this fucking show. So the truth is, is that I think the people at Starbucks are the only people who know about our dumb little show. So five years, what did you expect? What did you not expect? What has surprised you along the way? Wow, what did I, I did not expect to still be doing this.

What did you expect at the beginning? Honest, honest injury. Really, it was just a fun thing to like be a distraction during the pandemic and, you know, all of the craziness that was going on in the world at that time. So I welcomed our once a week check in. I know seriously. And we first we were doing it over Zoom you know so it was just like fun funny whatever and then the ball kept rolling. The ball just kept rolling and rolling and rolling.

Picking up more rubber bands along the way. And yeah, I mean, I have to say it has really been quite the lifesaver in many ways because I have gone through some unexpected deaths over these past five years with very close family members. And so I have to say, having this purpose to get up and get dressed, come here, come laugh with my best friend, you, really helped me get through a lot of things. I am a hero in a lot of ways, to a lot of people.

And I know that I won't get the recognition that I deserve. But I'd like to applaud you for saying it out loud. I am a hero. You are. I'm the hero that everyone didn't know they needed. But here I am on the commercial break, just starting a podcast. It's been funny and frustrating and loving and laughing

and all this stuff. It's been all the things. It really has been all the things. I asked a couple of days ago, who has listened to the commercial break every single episode of the commercial break? And a couple of days ago, who has listened to the commercial break every single episode of the commercial break? And a number of people texted in and said, I've listened to every episode.

There's a couple that said they started a couple months after we started the show. And then there's a lot that said, I started at some point, a couple of years in, but I went backwards and I listened to all of the episodes. That's crazy to think that you've listened to 770 episodes of The Commercial Break, but thank you very much.

But origin story for those who don't know, I started this show as a, when my wife, I think she just got sick of hearing me talk. We didn't have children at the time. We had just gotten married. Yes, and you were just incessantly talking to her. Incessantly rambling or on the phone talking about commercial real estate or I just never stopped talking.

This is my personality, you know, because you listen to the commercial break. So Astrid said, I think you would be really good at doing like a video vlog, like a YouTube channel and you could do it about commercial real estate because you seem to never stop fucking talking about commercial real estate. And I thought to myself, well, I don't want to be in front of the camera. I really didn't want to be in front of the camera. I like the microphone, the microphone I feel comfortable with because I think I have a face for radio and I'm just not that interested in looking at myself. I'm barely interested in listening to myself back, but I do talk a lot. So I say, okay, listen, hey, maybe and a week later,

a thousand dollars worth of camera equipment, microphones, and, you know, microphones, stands, and all this shit shows up at the front door. And she's like, let's do this. And so we actually recorded a couple of episodes where I talked about commercial real estate. So bad. The riveting content. episodes where I talked about commercial real estate. It's so bad. Not gonna- The riveting content. I'm not gonna make you suffer for that. We did that one time and I went back

and listened to that recently. It is terrible. Listening to us listen to it is terrible. So I do this like, you know, 30 minute long show, a couple of them, I put them in the can and they'd never go anywhere. A year later, in, I think it was December or January of 2020, our friend Allison Hare, shout out to Allison,

Yes, hello Allison. makes a Facebook post that Astrid notices, and it is, I am doing a podcast, have been doing a podcast for about a year, I'd like to teach others how to do a podcast, if you're interested in joining a class that I'm going to put together, like a little group I'm going to put together on how to launch a podcast, let me know. So I did that. I joined that. Astrid, again, pushed me out of the nest, pushed a little bird out of the nest and said, hey, go do this. And so I did that. I joined that group. I knew technically what to do, but I just wasn't like, I didn't have the

motivation to get it out there. And so in that, what came of that was the name, the commercial break. And was the idea that I could never do multiple episodes about the commercial real estate game, because here's a little hint for all you kids out there. In case you didn't know commercial real estate is a really slick, shady, shitty, secret on secret on secret type of business. People do not want you talking about their commercial real estate ventures because half of them are likely illegal.

I mean, it's just the way that it is. It's just a weird business. It's just a weird business. A lot of money flows in and out of it. And me talking, first of all, it's boring. I don't want to, who the fuck cares about commercial real estate? I guess people in commercial real estate, but that's a different story for a different time.

But second of all, who wants to hear Brian talk about commercial real estate ventures? So I decided, okay, I could do a comedy podcast. I could just sit and talk and be funny, grab news headlines and be funny. But I didn't wanna do that by myself. Ring ring Chrissy Houdley. Hey Chrissy, can you join me for the first couple of these so that at least I have someone to talk to,

like someone to bounce ideas off of, someone to laugh if it's funny, someone not to laugh if it's not funny. So I know which direction I'm heading in. So Chrissy says, sure, because in that moment, when I first called Chrissy, people were getting sick on the West Coast. They were getting sick from this.

No one knew what it was. 20 cases turned into 200 cases, turned into 500 cases of coronavirus. People were passing away. It was getting a little hairy and a little scary. So Chrissy and I decided, okay, let's not take the chance. Plus, at that time, I think you were like, I'm not going to drive all the way up to where you are. Well, yeah, as you're sitting here talking, it reminds me that, you know, really doing

this podcast furthered and grew our friendship because we were best friends. We were ride and die. We were running around, running and gunning and all over town. For a long time. For a long time. And then you got married and I got married and you moved a ways away, OTP. OTP, outside the perimeter.

If you live in Atlanta, you know what that means. Outside the circle, the highway, that's called the perimeter highway. Yep, yep, 285. So. It's a true story. You know, I never really thought about it that way, is that when the two of us got married,

we certainly weren't out four times a week. Right. Drinking, dragging ourselves out of the bar. I certainly wasn't carrying you out of any Braves game after you got married. No. That was Jeff's responsibility. Exactly.

Yeah. That's what Jeff said, dude. Exactly. Yeah, we weren't working together responsibility. Exactly. That's what Jeff said, too. Exactly. Yeah, we weren't working together anymore and running around town. And yeah, we both got married and kind of went on to do our own thing. And you were in a separate area of town that really I just didn't get to very often. And so, you know, we didn't see each other very much anymore. So I said, join me for the first couple of these.

We record right as the COVID is getting scary for everybody. You remember that moment in time, March of 2020. And by the time we put out our first, it took me one month to edit our first podcast. One month to edit our first podcast. And so a month later, April of whatever, April 15th of 2020, we put out our first episode, which is so terrible, so incredibly bad, that not only does it not exist

on the RSS feed, you can't find it anywhere, I don't even think I kept it, period, in the sentence. I know that's a little bit sad, because even though it is terrible, like the 33 penis songs are terrible But I managed to keep some of them. Do you know you know like I should have kept it for posterity sake It's got to be somewhere. Somebody has it if it went on the internet. Somebody's got it, right? It's got to be out there somewhere. Actually we weren't we weren't doing YouTube

Nobody We put it up there we put it up there in case you want to know, in case you're one of the six people that's out there. So one episode a week turned into two episodes a week turned into three, turned into four. The ball just started rolling. We got approached by a network so they could sell some ads on our show. That went great for like a year. Yeah.

Yeah. And now, and then this just turned into a business all of a sudden. And anytime you turn something into a business, it takes on a different tone and a different texture that in the studio, it's still fun outside the studio, it's got all of the stresses and wins and losses that any other entrepreneur or small business feels. There are ups, there are downs, there are complete kicks in the potatoes, there are people who pay you, people who don't, people you pay, people you don't.

I mean, there's a lot of stuff that goes on in a small business that makes it, it takes it to a different level. But now this is a business. This is what we do. We have had some wins. We have had some level of success. I asked somebody the other day, I forget who I was talking to, somebody else in the podcast industry. And they said, you know, I consider the commercial break a real success from an independent podcast

perspective. You guys have reached this kind of middle tier of like the top of the middle tier of podcasts where you're doing really well. You make a living doing not like you're not making millions of dollars, but you're making a living doing this. You're not Theo Vaughn, Conan O'Brien, Joe Rogan, Call Her Daddy. Yeah, with the level of notoriety. But you're in this kind of sweet spot where you can, you're one of the few that can do this for a living. And I explained to them that the only the few that can do this for a living. And I explained to them that the only reason why we can do this for a living is because we're doing so much of it.

That's the only reason. Why do you think we're doing 12 episodes in one day? It's fucking insane. But I do have to say this. It's been sweet. It's been sour. It's been all the things in between. We've had so many people that have worked with us and for us and around us that have

been great. Christina and Tina and all these people I've seen all three how thousand of your children being born. Yes, that's true All 30 of my children have been born during the pan during well, I had the first one was yeah Yeah, but then the rest of them came over the last five years the pregnancy And the sweetness when they start talking and walking. I know. I mean, they're like, I mean, I see them, I see them every week. And now they're little. Three, four times a week.

Money, goblin, food eating, pee pee poo poo little turds. Projectile vomiting. Projectile vomiting little turds. It takes like 15 minutes to get them out of the studio. I'm like, okay, we gotta go. We got a timeline to occur. Nico was here when we first started. The smelly ghost dog.

The smelly ghost dog, yeah. Yeah, Nico, those some of you will remember. RIP Nico. Yeah, RIP Nico. I don't miss the smell, but he was a very sweet dog. And he was dead long before his body actually. Yes. He smelled like a corpse.

You think I'm joking about this. I'm really not. Blue, the dog who will live forever is still here. I guarantee in five years from now, you and I are gonna do another one of these stupid stunty ideas for our tent, and Blue is still gonna be barking outside. We actually had to take her to,

because I'm like, I have to clear everything in the world for this to happen. I have to like get babysitters and put the dog away and Astrid is, you know, ordering groceries. Like we're hostages or something. For us to do today. For us to do today. And I'm like, I cannot do this. I cannot do this if Blue is barking in the background.

I just can't do it. And Astrid says, let's just take her to the play place. And I'm like, perfect idea. Leave her there until I wake up on Wednesday. If you don't mind, please. Actually, Blue was really sweet last night. Me and Blue had a sweet moment together. She was really sweet.

She came in, she was running around my wires as she does. And I'm like, Blue, stop, you're gonna knock stuff over. She like runs into the wires, gets caught in them, and then pulls them out. But she runs into the wires, I'm like, Blue, stop pulls them out. But she runs into the wires, and I'm like, Blue, stop. And she comes over and she jumps on my lap, right? And she starts rubbing her head against my leg.

I think it was to like get the dirt out of her eye, but you know what, it was a sweet moment, and I'll take them where I can get them. Every once in a Blue moon, I'm reminded of why we love Blue so much, and that is because she can be a very sweet dog. 99% of the time, complete dum-dum. Sometimes she's OK.

But here's what I can say about Blue. She has been with us for every episode of the commercial break and among and of any other person that's been here, any other thing that's been here. Brian and Blue have been on every episode of the Commercial Break. There's a bark in there somewhere. You gotta check, but there's a bark in there somewhere.

So I love you. Congratulations on five years. And I love you. All the memories, all the things. We're gonna go through as much of it as we can today. We're gonna start, we're gonna go season by season. We're gonna do six, maybe seven episodes depending. We possibly will go live on Twitch youtube, maybe tik tok later on go to at the commercial break on instagram

To when if we decide to go live asterid will announce it. It will tell you where to go Uh to get that this is all brought to you with Extremely limited commercial interruption by a great sponsor five Five Hour Energy. Fivehourenergy.com for special flavors. You can order stuff, get it sent straight to your front door. Or of course you can find it at every gas station, supermarket, liquor store, everywhere in the world. Five Hour Energy has been really good to us. And when we came up with this stupid idea, this is why we're doing it at all.

I've got to be honest. Because when I came up with this idea about like six weeks ago, I'm like, this is a stupid idea. Why are we doing this? Let's just not do this. And then Five Hour Energy was like, we'll buy it. I was like, fuck. Now I gotta do it. So Five Hour Energy, Five Hour Energy dot com, limited commercial interruptions, only one commercial break. They do. We've got a bunch of boxes here. So thank you to Five Hour Energy. They've sent us like every one of their flavors. We've got a bunch of boxes here, so thank you to FiberRNG. Yeah, they've sent us like every one of their flavors. We have enough. And they were going to send us more, and then I was talking to one of the guys at Odyssey the other day, and I was like, it's okay. It's okay. We got it. We got it. Yeah, we got it covered.

Odyssey is our network. Thank you very much. Covert Creative is doing all of our public relations. And Bella at CTV, Bella, Joanna, Antoine at CTV. They have booked all of the guests today. Tom Papa, Tig Notaro, Reggie Watts, Rachel Bloom, Michael Ian Black, who was fantastic. You gotta listen to that episode. You wanna, you have to listen to that episode. You will understand why about halfway through, but you have to listen to that episode. All of those are about halfway through, but you have to listen to that episode.

All of those are coming up. Here's a little bit about the minutia. Chrissy and I are recording this on the date that you're listening to this, but the guest episodes were recorded earlier because we didn't want to subject our guests to our bullshit, to our technical bullshit. So-

Plus you need to time in between to do the editing and the flash show to give it up. So it's about an hour delay. There's about an hour delay. So we're recording this at nine o'clock in the morning. You're hearing it at 10 o'clock in the morning, so on and so forth. Later on, maybe we'll take some phone calls.

Text us 212-433-3TCB again at the commercial break on Instagram if you want to check us out doing a live. Later on, maybe. I don't want to promise anything about the live because maybe we just decide to bail on that. I've told a bunch of people now They're like, how do I tune in? They're gonna get their first introduction to the commercial break Chad one of our listeners said I have a strong suspicion

You never wrote this in the book and I was like it never went in the notebook It did not. The 12 days of TCB and the 12 hours of TCB, which is called TCB's endless day now Those didn't go in the notebook. And that's why we're doing it. And for those of you that don't know about the notebook, it became a joke because I had this notebook where we would write down ideas and different things that would come to us. And the majority of those never got done.

Never. Actually, none of them ever got done. Not one. We're going to make a special sticker over the next couple of weeks. TCB's endlessless Day sticker. Go to the website, tcbpodcast.com. Put your information in the contact us button and we'll put you on the list.

If you've listened to every episode of the commercial break, yes, there will be a pop quiz if you have. I may or may not have something special for you. So write in at the website or write in on the phone call. Okay, one more thing. 988 is a mental health crisis hotline. If you or anybody you know are in mental health crisis, you need help, you can't get out of bed, you know what it is. Whatever it is for you, whatever that means for you, if you are in crisis, even if you don't have the resources, the financial resources to get yourself the help you think you may need, 988, dial it,

text it, someone is there 24 hours a day, English or in Espanol, and they can help you. We have all been through it. We have all been there. It's the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month. Kristi and I feel strongly that we will be crazy by the end of this day, but we also feel strongly that even sane people go crazy sometimes and we all can use a helping hand. So this is what I'm going to do. We're going to be tight on the timeline here, obviously, because we've got to stick to

it. So we are going to take a very short break. As long as I can figure out what I'm doing here. This is our first one. So it's going to be... Is it? Yeah. Okay.

So we're going to take a very short break here, a little liner, a little announcement from our sponsor, Five Hour Energy, and then we'll be back. All right, all right, all right, cats and kittens. You're in the middle of another episode during TCB's Endless Day. Make sure you're following us at the commercial break on Instagram for more information on all of today's events and maybe even a live streaming recording. Wouldn't that be a miracle?

Looking right at you, Brian. Best to you. What do we mean by almost? You can't get a well-groomed lawn delivered, but you can get chicken parmesan delivered. Sunshine? No. Some wine? Yes. Get almost almost anything delivered with Uber Eats. Order now. Alcohol in select markets. See after details. Do you know what our second episode of the commercial break was?

Shamalama Ding Dong? Shamalama Ding Dong. That is right. If you remember at the time during coronavirus, there was a preacher who became, I guess infamous is the word? Is it notorious? Yeah, sure. Kenny Copeland. Kenny Copeland is the guy who was begging people for more money because he needed to buy his third, not his second, his third private jet. He

could blow the coronavirus away and he told the tornado to turn backwards, and it did. Kenny Copeland is the epitome of shithead TV preachers. He looks like the devil incarnate. If you can Google a pic, I don't like to make fun of people's looks too much, but Kenny Copeland is really a scary looking human being. He has a look. He has a look, and it looks like the devil. That's what it looks like. And he is a very rich, a filthy rich televangelist. And he has been, you know, spreading his seed

and spreading his word and spreading his bullshit for a long, long, long, long, long time. And Chrissy and I reviewed some footage on our second episode, season one, second episode of the show, where we went through clips. I'll never forget this. I was playing the clips through the phone. I was playing clips through the phone into the microphone. That's how advanced the commercial break was on episode number two. And we've grown just a tiny bit since then.

Yeah, now we play them through the TV. We went and reviewed a bunch of clips of his, and I still to this day find a lot of... I get a lot of joy out of listening to still to this day find a lot of, I get a lot of joy out of listening to that episode because it really is funny because he has this guy that runs behind him and the guy is like a hype guy so Kenny Copeland would be, I'm gonna blow the coronavirus away in the name of the Lord and the guy in the back right round is like, he's talking in tongue, hyping up Kenny. It's like Public Enemy. He's the flavor flay for Kenny Copeland.

It is so fucking incredibly dumb. I cannot believe for the life of me that probably mainly older people give this guy money in the millions of dollars every month. But what you don't know about Kenny Copeland, I thought about reviewing that particular video but there's so much new good material in the last five years. From him? From him and anyone around him. Kenny Copeland made movies.

Drama movie, drama, action, thriller movies. Really? Yes. He funded them and he was in them. He starred in them. And here is the premise. Kenneth Copeland is a Mexican drug cartel lord that spreads the good word of the Lord. And he has a rival Mexican drug cartel lord that is like the bad guy.

So he's the good guy selling drugs and spreading the word of the Lord. And the other drug lord is the bad guy because he doesn't spread the word of the Lord. It is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard. But not only is there one of these movies, there's a part two. There's The Rally with Kenneth Copeland and The Rally LA. It's like NCIS. They made different versions of it. You don't mess with a good forum.

Hey, listen, once you, hence the commercial break, right? Am I right? Yeah. Yeah, who am I to be talking? Who am I to be talking? I'm doing 12 dumb episodes every day. Okay, so they did it,

to download the movie and to play it it was a little complicated and quite frankly that I have to watch it And I refuse to put money in Kenny's pocket But I did find a special that they made on one of his channels where they review they played the trailer and did this whole thing So you want to watch it? Oh my god, Chrissy, this is crazy. The Mexican accent on Kenneth. Where is he based out of? He's based out of like San Antonio or something. Of course. Yes.

Listen, I love Texas. One of my favorite states. I love it, love it, love it. But just like Florida, and in a lot of ways, Atlanta's got its own problems too. Everyone here is a movie producer, like Chrissy and I were talking about. We all have our own things, depending on where you're from. But Florida and Texas seems to be a hotbed for these kooks to spread their word and get money.

Okay, let's go through this real quick. Rallies for Christ. Oh yeah, it's always for Christ. The Mexican drug lord movie for Christ. Oh yeah, it's always for Christ. The Mexican drug lord movie for Christ. Okay, now this is a special announcing the movie. So this is not the movie itself, just FYI. This is just some guy up on stage announcing the movie. The producer and director of the movie does this special. I know. Look at all these people, they're in a trance. They're absolutely in a trance.

I guess maybe I'm a little jealous. I wish I could get that into anything. Do you know what I'm saying? You mean you're jealous of the people that, you're jealous of Kenny or the people that- Both. Yeah, both. I'm jealous of the money that Kenny,

I would like to have an airplane too. But then I guess I'd love to show up somewhere. I mean, I guess I have a few times, but there were a lot of narcotics involved. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, your tantric glasses. That's right. Rally TV, starring Jabroni. Okay, let's fast forward through all this.

When you make your intro too long, it's too much. A word just for you. Okay, here they are. I'm Rick Raina. This is my beautiful wife, Nettie Raina. Thank you so much for tuning into our show today. We are so excited that you are able to be a part. You know, we are excited. Eric Roberts is involved.

Yeah, yeah, I forgot to mention the name. Yes, it's Kenneth Copeland versus Eric Roberts. What happened to Eric Roberts? He's yeah, he used to be like a guy you'd want to watch on a movie. Not anymore. We've been standing and been believing in God for this moment. April 22nd, the Rally LA movie is coming to select theaters. Now if we don't look excited, believe me, we are. We've been standing on this word. My wife, myself, Brother Copeland, Sister Gloria, all the KCM staff, we've been believing

in God. Our farts are wonderful things. For this moment, why? Because this is a word that God gave us to show people that God loves them. That they don't have to be stuck in nothing. That God's love can- Wait, hold on, let me get this straight. God came down through you

and decided to give you a message to make a movie about Mexican drug cartels that spread the word of the Lord so that I know I don't have to be stuck in anything? What kind of ham-hhog bullshit is going on here? God came to me one day and said, you know what you should do? Hire Eric Roberts, LA's most successful actor to star in a movie alongside Kenneth Copeland. Now I know exactly what happened here.

You know what happened, Christy? This Tweedledee here, Tweedledee and Tweedledumum came to Kenneth Copeland and they said, we want to make a movie. And since you have a lot of money, will you be the executive producer? To which Kenneth Copeland said, absolutely, if I can star in it. I'm going to star. Yeah, I'll be the star of it. Set people free and give them a dream, a vision in life. You know, God spoke to us about making these movies because He said, people will see themselves in these movies. They will.

Now, April 22nd. I love when I go to a movie and I really connect with the Mexican drug lord cartel. The movie is coming to select theaters. Now, go to the- And by select, do you mean the ones at your church? Is that what you mean? Yeah, well, they're saying the rally at, this is like the LA premiere. This is the LA, this is the second one. Now, Chrissy, this is the next Fast and Furious. I'm telling you.

Yes, it is. It's a franchise. Valleymovie.com. If you don't see your city there, we need pastors, church leaders to sign up and say, hey, we want the movie to come through our city. Believe God. Nothing like buying 30 minutes of airtime on some, you know, off brand UHF channel to then go ahead and pitch pastors throughout the country to show your Mexican drug lord movie inside of their church. Yeah, that your seat. We just need you guys to show up. I want to say this, Nettie. We need you to show up on the first few days that the movie comes out, because the theaters told us if you do good on the opening weekend, we'll continue to hold the movie.

That means more souls. Amen? Amen! More souls. That means more money jingle, jingle in my pocket. That means Kenny funds number three. Uh huh. We're going to be showing you the Rally LA movie trailer.

Do you think if you're, if you like get cast in this movie, like if you're, let's say you're a struggling actor or actress, or you're just an actor and actress, and you're doing your thing out there in LA, you're waitressing, you got a side job, whatever it is, you show up to the casting call, the guy calls you back, girl calls you back and says, hey, you got the part. And you're really excited. And then you find out that you're in the rally LA with Kenneth Copeland and Eric Roberts. You think that's, you say, well, just like the commercial break, you say, well, I tried.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I mean, I guess it depends on if I need to pay my rent or not. Yeah, true. So enjoy. Okay, here's the trailer. There is something that I must do. There is something that I must do.

Is he Italian? Oh my God. He's got like, oh, he's doing like an Al Pacino. Okay. All right. I'm taking a picture of this and putting it on. I'm taking a picture of this. I'm putting it on Instagram.

Kenneth Copeland. He's Mexican-Italian. He's Mexican-Italian. He's a part Godfather, part Narcos. I should have done 20 years ago. 20 years ago, Chrissy. Oh, Rick, the director stars in his own movie. Okay.

What some of the things you're doing, we are dealing with the devil himself. Sandhya Sarika. The winds are changing. We need to be watchful. I am Antony Sarika. I am your grandfather. I am your very tan grandfather.

I go to the same tanning bed as Brian Green and Donald Trump. I have the same tan package as Brian Green. I feel like I'm losing it here. I don't care! You don't do that to me! You don't do that to anybody! I don't ever want to see you again. A tour de force of acting.

This is the weirdest trailer. Kenneth Copeland and some other people star in... The Rally LA. In April it's not to be told what to do. No, go away! No, go away! The whole thing makes no sense it's so disjointed as to what... There is...

About what it's about. I can guarantee you, should we watch the movie? And maybe we will. Maybe we do a special where we just watch the entire movie. I guarantee you, Chrissy, they don't even have enough money to do a second take on the film. So they just take the first take. And these are the, I mean, God bless these actors and actresses.

I'm sure some of them have nothing to do with Kenneth Copeland. And they're just trying to make it in the world. I don't want to bust on their chops. They have to make a living too. But this is terrible acting. Look at the camera. It's tilted sideways. It looks like a camera in the commercial break studios. It's not even set up correctly. Let me go. I promise I'll keep everything clean. We're going to begin to go out to the streets. Nothing like a movie about God where they shoot someone directly in the head. Find anyone that will listen to us.

There's a change coming to this town. Well, if you try to mess the way the business around here, I will not entertain you. They're eating spaghetti. Spaghetti. But they're Mexican. I had a dinner. They have spaghetti. And garlic bread.

Frozen garlic bread. Texas toast. It actually looks like Kenny's been eating the spaghetti. He's like, I'm hungry. I will eat my spaghetti in my weird accent. Silence you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you.

I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you. I'm going to's like, I'm hungry. I will eat my spaghetti in my weird accent. So let me get this straight. Kenneth Copeland, drug lord, who's going to spread the good

word, change things on the mean streets of LA. Eric Roberts, drug lord, who just wants to keep people taking his product. I guess. And also people die from getting shot in the head and some girl screaming, I won't let you in! And also Kenneth revealed that he was the grandfather of somebody. That's right, yeah. Well that's, listen, there's gotta be a twist

in every movie, right? This is Coen Brothers level twists and turns. You hear me? I will take you out. Out. I will take you out. Out. I will take you out. That was Eric Roberts saying that to Ginnit. Wait, let's count the amount of seconds when he, when out.

Let's count the amount of seconds. Oh, wait, hold on a second. I will take you. Oh, now I've messed it up. Oh great, Brian. Now you've messed it up. Now you've messed it all up. Oh no.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Okay, hold on one second. Oh. Oh no, what happened? Oh, I wanted to see the rest of that trailer. Damn it, Brian, now you going and messed it all up.

I tried to get funny with it and now I messed it all up. I think you get the gist of it, Chrissy. Oh, yeah. It's, okay, hold on one second. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. How are you gonna make a movie trailer, are you going to make a movie trailer? How are you going to make a movie about a Mexican drug cartel? And you are like a preacher of a neo-Christian church?

I just don't get it. Yeah. Okay, here we go. All right, hold on one second. Okay, now I'm going to... There's a change coming to this town. Well, if you try to manage the way the business around here, I will not hesitate to silence you.

So they both have bad Mexican accents. Let's get that straight. Yeah. Kenneth said, I need somebody else who can do a great Mexican accent. Eric Roberts, call in the man for the job. You hear me? I will take you out. Out!

We want to do a rally right here in your city. That's exactly what we've needed here. He is coming. So soon. Sooner than any of us. Oh my god. He is coming, Chrissy. Sooner than any one of us think. Eric Roberts.

Yeah, I was going to say, is he talking about Eric Roberts or Jesus? As Kaiser Soze. You know where I can find Rick Reina? Yeah, I think I saw him backstage. If you want God to make a difference in your life, I want you to raise your hands towards heaven, because I believe today is your day. Oh, I think I get the premise of this now. You ready? Okay. Old drug cartel guy gets out of jail. He probably went to jail the last movie. He gets out of jail.

He wants to spread the good word of the Lord. They're going to put a rally together, hence the name the Rally LA. Eric Roberts is determined to stop the rally from happening because the drug addicts will show up and they'll be changed forever and he'll lose business. So he's gonna put a hit on Eric Reina, the director, producer, lighting guy, cameraman, food truck operator for this movie. He's gonna take Kenneth out.

Out. It is too late for you. There is no power on this earth like the power of the love of God. Your God can't stop it. Oh no! Eric Roberts is gonna shoot Kenneth Copeland. He's got a gun pointing right at Kenneth. But Kenneth's got the Bible in his hand. Yeah, Kenneth's got the Bible in his hand.

I guarantee the Bible stops the bullet. We have to watch the movie now. That's just it. I have to watch the movie. Now, I'm so intrigued. So now that was a powerful movie trailer. I never get to know that was the most disjointed piece of shit I've ever seen. Rick Reina or Eric Reina, whatever your name is.

In the five years since we last saw Kenneth Copeland, he has gone from extremely strange televangelist blowing coronavirus away, turning tornadoes in the other direction, speaking in tongues. And then he went to the other direction, speaking in tongues. And then he went to Hollywood. Often farting in church. There's whole videos out there of him actually farting. That's not the farting preacher. That's a different one. That's a classic. That's hilarious.

But actually farting in church. He went from that to movie actor in LA. Do you think, Chrissy, I have a question for you. Do you think that Kenneth Copeland in his like wildest dreams goes to bed at night and imagines that he can win an Oscar for something like this? Like this has always been his dream. Yeah. And now he's getting to play it out loud

on the big screen. I think so. I think so. Why not? Do you also think that if we were- He's delusional, so. He is delusional. He thinks he could blow the coronavirus away. Yeah.

Do you also assume, like I do, that Kenneth Copeland in this movie moves in and out of the accent and no one has bothered to make sure that it's correct? Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. You know when you see those movies, like they have the con... You know you go to like YouTube, I don't know if you've ever seen this, but you can go to YouTube and you can look at some of your favorite movies and they have continuity problems. Like the Dunkin' Donuts Cup that was in the Lord of the Rings finale.

Somebody had left a Dunkin' Donuts Cup on one of the sets. You mean Game of Thrones? Game of Thrones, I'm sorry. What did I say? Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings. Not Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I can guarantee there's no continuity issues there.

But you know, there's that stuff. I am a stickler for continuity issues. And there's a person that's assigned to that for every... Yes, there are multiple people sometimes. I can see that stuff in television and in films all the time, drives Astrid crazy because she says it breaks the allure of being in the movie or whatever. So I can guarantee you if we went and watched this movie, it would be continuity issue after continuity issue after continuity. They'd be like different color t-shirts in the same, you know, in the same shot,

moving in and out of the accent, different guns, different people, maybe playing the same character. I, I, you know, when we were kids, they used to have these what they would call B movies. The movies were so terrible that they were good. They were like 50s, 60s, and 70s movies that were made for a couple hundred thousand dollars, or less than that. And then they became cult classics in the 90s and 2000s, and we would all watch them,

like Mystery Science Theater and stuff like that, we would watch them and get the biggest kick out of it because it was so terrible, it ended up being funny. I have to imagine that the Rally LA is going to hold a place in people's hearts at some point for just being the shittiest fucking movie you've ever seen. It's so bad, it's good kind of television. We should read reviews about the Rally LA.

You think any- I know, I wanna do some research now. I wonder if any serious review read reviews about the rally, A.L.A. I know. I want to do some research now. I wonder if any serious reviewer has reviewed the rally. I was thinking about, you know, Cannes. I wonder if they submitted it to Cannes. Oh, I don't know if they submitted it to Sundance. You know. But I bet Kenny Flew is playing there. Fucker. Kenneth Copeland. If you give your money to Kenneth Copeland, I don't want to know you. I really don't. I'm being dead serious about that. It's just too much for me to know.

All right, listen. One down, 11 to go. Yes, 11 hours left. We did it. All right. Little slow start. I had to get the juices working, but I feel like we're in it now.
