Impress even the toughest of critics with freshly prepared Canadian barbecue favorites from Sobeys. ["The Grilled Guy"] ["The Grilled Guy"]

["The Grilled Guy"] On this episode of the Commercial Break. You know how at a concert, the band will play a song they know everyone isn't in love with just to give the audience a pee break? Yeah, well, the next six episodes are like that song. Go ahead and excuse yourself, you won't miss a thing. I'll text you when it gets good again. Or if it ever gets good. TCD's Endless Day is in the fifth hour.

The next episode starts now. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Yeah, boy! Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to TCD's Endless Day. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. BestB's Endless Day. I'm Brian Greene, this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best of you, Chris and.

Best of you, Brian. Best of you out there in the podcast universe and we know you're listening because we're seeing the text messages. Thanks for joining us. TCB's Endless Day rolls on. What is this, episode 17? I don't know.

It feels like episode 17. Yeah. The first two were great and then I kind of crashed after the third one. Here I am, trying to keep the boat steady. I changed my pants. I threw some water. I got a little Chick-fil-A.

Did you get a little Chick-fil-A? I did. I scratched the it. Chick-fil-A, best fast food in the biz. And I just don't think about it until I'm 30 minutes or more outside of my house. Yeah. Chick-fil-A, man, you got to give it to Chick-fil-A.

They are the best fast food in the business. There's a reason why. It's because they smile and the chicken's good. That's the reason why. Those waffle fries are damn good too. Oh man, those waffle fries. Crispy, just salty enough. Put a little barbecue sauce on them, maybe some Chick-fil-A sauce.

Anyway, I'm getting hungry. I'll have to eat after this. Oh, the buffalo sauce is good too. It's really good. Hey, shout out. Marianne, Chad, South Georgia Sean, Jenny, our new friend who's a post, a mail carrier. Just texted. I don't know what the name is. I asked for the name. And so many more of you. Postal executive. That's right. Erica, Dana, all these people. If you're listening, text in

and we'll shout you out. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Too many to name, but we'll try and get to some of them as we go on throughout the day. And maybe some phone calls a little bit later on. Looks like around 4 p.m. Eastern time. Around 4 p.m. Eastern time.

Around that time. We're gonna go live on Twitch, at least for one episode, maybe on TikTok. TCB Podcast is the Twitch account, so go follow it, hit the notifications. Not the commercial break. Don't even say that, don't even say it. Because we made it and we forgot how to get into it.

I don't even think it's ours, actually. I don't know, no one knows how that got made, but let's not even say that. TCB Podcast is TCBB podcast is the Twitch handle. Go there, subscribe, hit the notifications so that you get notified when we go live. All right. So it's episode number five. Are we on five now?

I think we're on five. Episode number five of TCB's endless day brought to you with a limited commercial interruption by our friends at Five Hour Energy. Thank you very much. Fivehourenergy.com for all the flavors, the hot sauces, the merch, everything you can get at all there or anywhere in the world. Five Hour Energy is everywhere, literally. And thank you very much for sponsoring this whole day.

We really appreciate it. Fifth episode, Five Hour Energy and five years. Celebrating. Five hours in, five hour energy. That's right. Hey, I didn't even think about that. Look at you making all those connections. Chrissy's working like chat GPT today.

She's got a little PT head. Hopefully I don't explode. Yeah, mine's totally off the rails. I don't even know. It keeps on telling me it's going to do stuff and then it doesn't happen. And then I'm like, what happened? And it's like, I'm sorry, I can't do that. And I'm like, but you told me you could do it.

You're right. That's my fault. And I'm like, you're the worst employee I have ever had. Chat GPT was supposed to be the miracle cure for everything. And it can't even create a Google drive. Well, you overloaded it. I did. Well, I asked it to, I sucked it.

Whatever. He fucking cares about my chat GPT. Season three, season three is what we're on right now. So season three here at the commercial break was marked by kind of a turn in tone and texture for a little while. And that is, I think toward the middle of the season and then season four, kind of lump these two together a little bit, season three and season four were really marred by video reviews.

It was almost every episode of the commercial break, another video review. We were having so much fun. We were, it was a lot of fun. To be honest with you, we had a great time and we got really good at what we were doing, but there seemed to be a couple of themes that we kept repeating over and over again.

Dating game shows, mountain monsters, Frankie B. And occasionally a Teresa Caputo here and there. And we loved it. We loved every minute of it. I think that's when Piggy Fronting happened. Yes, Piggy Fronting. I think Aliens happened in season two or season three. The old, let's see if I can pull up that noise here. Many of you who have been listening for a while will remember.

That of course came from the guy who claimed to have sex with 3,000 aliens. And he got to visit his children up in the space capsule. And he was on our favorite morning show, our favorite ITV morning show called Morning Show. I think that's what it's called. ITV's morning, this morning or whatever. And the morning show had this guy on. Well, like they had, they always had these wacky characters that would come on and try,

they would try and take him seriously. This guy came on, he had drawn his interactions with these magical creatures of which he had tens of thousands of interactions with aliens. Most most of them sexual like he was having sex with a lot of alien chicks you know what I'm saying as one does when they have no teeth and our boy he I just never forget when when he was like well have you ever taken a photograph of it and he goes well it's kind of hard to bring a camera. And I thought to myself, yeah, it's kind of hard to bring a camera on every device that

ever has been since the year 2001. There's a camera. This guy was such a noodnik. Anyway, we thought to ourselves, well, if there's going to be aliens, let this guy be the aliens guide. If there's one human being that they would choose to deliver the message to, it's the horn bag from South Georgia. I just can't get enough. Yeah, he was like from a farm or something.

Oh, he was from another planet, Chris. So the aliens, Teresa Caputo, Mountain Monsters, dating shows. Man, did we do a lot of Love Connection. Man, did we do a lot of Mountain Monsters in season three and season four. So beggars can't be choosers. I think we should talk about both of these things. But we might not get it done in one episode. We might have to roll it over into the seventh episode.

But I think we should start off by talking about one of our first Love Connection videos, which is What the Fuck, Chuck Chuck is the name of the episode. It's easy to remember. That has to have been back from season one. Well. I remember being in the other studio for that one. I don't recall exactly what season it was.

I'm just talking about like our first Love Connection was What the Fuck Chuck because. That was so funny. That was so funny. But in season three, if I'm not mistaken, and I looked last night, the problem is that they don't carry season numbers anymore on any of the podcast platforms.

So I don't even know, I have to go like in the server to take a look at it. And let's be honest about it. Brian's lazy. We're lazy. Yeah, you think I want to, that's why I want Chad GPT to do all of this shit for me, fucker. In season three, we did an episode where we found a guy on the Love Connection who was like not a bouncer,

but a guy who like handed out pamphlets for the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in LA. The little postcard things on the street. I get chicks all day long. I wanna do that video again because I think it bears repeating. It's really fun. And we'll do it in the second segment of the show.

But man, did we have some fun with the love connection. And for a minute there, I had the bright idea. This is like, I'm just recalling this because I think it's interesting to discuss. I had the bright idea, let's do a dating show. Yep, I remember this. This is like 12 phone numbers ago. I also remember that season number three or two,

we got our first phone number and then we changed it every three months. That's right. For two years. That's right. We had so many different phone numbers. 1-888-CALL-TCB, 1-212-TCB-456.

Who knows? Was season three also the season where you did the really long intros? Yeah, you want me to repeat it? Here, okay, ready? It would be like, the next episode of the commercial break starts now. This same noise every time. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Oh yeah, cats and kittens.

Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene. This is my dear friend Chrissy Hoadley. Best you Chrissy. Best you Brian. Best you out there in the podcast universe. welcome back to yet another episode of this, the commercial break. The only one you'll ever need. Hey, it's not for everyone, but at least it's free. Get your money back guaranteed.

Go to tcbpodcast.com. It was ridiculous. It was ridiculous. I would drone on for days. The good news, the intro was 17 minutes long. So we knew every episode was gonna be at least 17 minute long. The bad news, we had was 17 minutes long, so we knew every episode was going to be at least 17 minute long. The bad news, we had like this symposium one time. We invited some listeners to like tell us what they like

and what they don't like about the show. And the number one thing they don't like about the show is Brian doing a 17 minute intro every fucking episode. It was ridiculous. So I have this bright idea. Let's do a dating show. Yes. Text me or call me at this phone number

if you would like to be a part of this dating show. We wrote it in the notebook. Wrote it in the notebook so you know it was never going to happen. So I start getting text messages from two people in particular. I think we got like four or five people. I think we had like four or five people text us that entire season. Yeah. And three of them were regarding the dating show. With these two people in particular.

And I'm not going to use their names, of course not. But they were guys. And they started texting me. And I said, OK, great. Well, here's my idea. We'll put the girl behind a screen. You can ask some questions if you guys get along. Like if, you know, kind of like a is it hot or is it not type of thing. We'll put the girl behind a screen. You can ask some questions if you guys get along.

Like if, you know, kind of like a, is it hotter, is it not type of thing. You ask a question, see how she answers. We'll have your answers ahead of time. If those answers are similar, you guys are connected and then we'll send you off into the world to do a Zoom date or something like that. Because I think that we still,

the lockdowns were going on, right? That was my bright idea. But. But. Then we thought about legal ramifications. Not only did I think about legal ramifications, I started getting some text messages that I just weren't, I wasn't comfortable with. So I knew that the girl on the other end wasn't going to be comfortable with.

It was like, you know, well, I'll tell you what, I never dated anybody minus a B cup, so, or minus a D cup, so make sure she's got grand T-toms. And I'm like, dude, you're texting a podcast that has three listeners to find a girlfriend and you're gonna be choosy? Really? And the other guy was like, well, I gotta be honest,

I'm still living with my mom. And I was like, oh, that's okay. You know, lots of people live with their mom. It's the pandemic. Like I'm sure lots of people went home. Now I never really left home. And I'm like, oh, that's okay. You know, sometimes it takes a while to get out of the house.

He's like 67 years. I was like 67 years old. You're 67. Probably should have been the first question I asked. But yeah, but then I was like, well, maybe we can find someone your age. You know, he's like, I'm not looking for someone my age. And I thought, well, I can think of all the ways this could go wrong. And I can think of none of the ways.

Let's change our phone number. Yeah, let's change our phone number. And we did. We did. I still have access to one of those old phone numbers. It's like an online... Phone numbers are not actually a phone number. It's a system that we use. Well, yeah, because we started off with that Gmail version, right, too.

I had every cheap thing. I had free phone number.com. Well, didn't one of them, they go out of business and you couldn't get the number. I couldn't free phone number. Well, didn't one of them, they go out of business. Yes. And you couldn't get the number. I couldn't get the number. I had one 888-callTCB or whatever. I had the best phone number ever. And we had it for like three weeks.

And then all of a sudden it stopped working. And I was like, oh, okay, let me get in there. And then nothing. It was like, I'm sorry, this account doesn't exist. And I'm like, this account doesn't exist. And I'm like, yes it does. I paid like $600 for the lifetime use of it, 888, call TCB. And no, I'm sorry, this doesn't exist.

So then I call another phone company and I'm like, hey, I wanna port this over. And they're like, well, you don't own that. And I'm like, well, yes I do. And they said, no, you don't. This guy, John Smith in Idaho owns it. And I'm like, no, I own it. Here's the receipt I have. And they said, know, John Smith in Idaho owns it. And I'm like, no, I own it. Here's

the receipt I have. And they said, well, yeah, that receipt's no good anymore because that company went bankrupt and we bought all their phone numbers and we sold it to someone else. And I'm like, well, how much to get it back? And they're like, well, we don't know. We'll call John and ask him. That's right. It's like, yeah. And John wanted like $6,000 for it. And I'm like, fuck John. Fuck John in Idaho. And John's probably a listener too. John is probably the guy living in the basement, 67 years old, wants a double D hot blonde that's 28 years old, flying in his mom's barn or house door.

I swear to God. John, give us our phone number back, because I'll never change this phone number again, unless I get 1888, call TCB back. Then I'll get the phone number back. So our dating shows, you know, we, I think we're better just reviewing them rather than trying to do them. Yeah, I agree. In the history of the commercial break, we reviewed all kinds.

We've reviewed the dating game. Naked attraction. Naked attraction, which I have never gotten a response. Like I've gotten naked response, naked attraction response, never. People all over the place. I love that show, I hate that show. I was eating breakfast, I was trying to eat breakfast.

I can't hear you talk about penises for another episode. I think we almost lost an employee over it. I accepted. We had Christina here. You remember Christina, she was our producer for a while. I hope she's doing an employee over it. We had Christina here. You remember Christina. She was our producer for a while. I hope she's doing well. Love Christina.

We were just talking about her. I do miss Christina a lot. I do. I miss someone that does the hard work. That does the work. Yeah, that does the work. But Christina was here and we did that episode. And I thought to myself, let's do penises.

That way, you know, it's a touchy thing. It's like an HR problem, right? I mean, she signed a contract and it said in that contract specifically, we talk about all kinds of shit. So if you're bothered by that, and to be fair to her, she was never bothered by any of it. She was right in there with us in the mix.

But that episode, when we recorded the episode of Naked Attraction, when we just looked at penises for an hour, the look on her face told me all I needed to know. I was like, I'm either getting sued or she's quitting after this because we just looked at a bunch of penises for an hour. Yeah, that was something. We've done all kind of dating shows and I've loved them all. It's one of my favorite types of television programming to be honest, because there's always a train wreck right around the corner.

What was the one that we did recently that was the- Celia Black? Well, there was Celia, but there were the two, like wrestlers, the women wrestlers. Oh, that was- What show was that? Was that- They'd have their hearts on their pants.

Studs. Studs. Studs. Studs was good. Studs was good. Studs was on for like six seasons, but you can't find it anywhere because it's like lost in that IP rights universe, that black hole. Because really is Jeff Bezos going, hey, can we get the rights to studs? Where the chauvinistic host talks to chauvinistic guys who just dress down girls with their words in their eyes. Like it's the most awkward thing you've ever seen.

But we found a couple episodes and we did it and we loved it, it was really fun. It's a snapshot in time. It is. But Love Connection is the one that is closest to our hearts. It's the king. It's the king of dating shows. You're right about that.

Because get this, in case you haven't, in case you don't know, and I think a lot of you do, but in case you don't, in case you're young and you're listening. The Love Connection would get one person on the couch and then they would make videotapes of three of the opposite sex. So one guy, three girls would put together these videotapes answering questions and talking about themselves and, you know, just from the shoulders up, you know, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. And the guy would choose a girl to go on a date with, or he would let the audience choose somebody to go on a date with. Or both. Both really happened. He chose and the audience chose.

Well, I'm talking about like at first, you can either let the audience choose or you can choose. And then at the end, you can let the audience choose and you can go on a date with them. But get this, then they give them a bunch of money. They say, hey, here's a thousand bucks or whatever it is, five, probably back then 500 bucks. Here's 500 bucks. Go have a date. Here's their address and their phone number. Right. Pick them up. Yeah. right pick them up yeah people would show up other people's doors and by the way we can't afford to send a camera crew or security out there so you're on your own yeah good luck Chuck

what the fuck Chuck let loose on Newport yes let loose on uh you know they're always like Newport Rancho Cunca Manga, California, Southern California All kind of shit happened some guys spent the money before they even got to the date So they took him to like, you know a porta potty one guy Brad Brad van bus station took his date to a bus station to get candy bars out of the candy machine Good job, Brad to a bus station to get candy bars out of the candy machine. Good job, Brad.

A lot of times they would end up back at the house and they would end up doing it. A lot of times they would end up back at the house. Or showing me. Yeah. Ah! People, anyway. The audience would go crazy. It was a different time.

The audience would go crazy when this, like a width of sex would be in the air. Ah! He got a hand job! People would pass out. Everyone there would go crazy. And they never even talked even close to explicit, it was an amazing time to be alive in America.

Amazing. And this ran any kid who stayed home from school, sick in the 90s or early 2000s, in the early 90s through the early 2000s, knows what love connection is because it ran endlessly in syndication. And that's what you would watch when you were sick. Price is right.

Let's make a deal. Young and the- Fucking love connection. Young and the restless for me. Let's make a deal. Fucking love connection. Young and the Restless for me. Young and the Restless. And the love connection. And maybe Judge Wapner. If you were lucky, you got Judge Wapner. The People's Court. Oh, Wapner. Yes. God, I loved him. That's right. All right. So let's do this. Everyone settle down. We're all getting too excited. Ah! Ah! I saw her toe! Ah! She's got tits! There's nipples under that sweater! I swear to God! Imagine how farts are wonderful things. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. You just let fly. However.

So, Johansson is the best in the West. She really is. Remember that guy? Yeah, well, there's the Scaramucci too. Yeah, no, that's Dean. John Dean. Dean. Yeah, Scaramucci. Scaramucci. I don't know where that came from. We're feeling loopy. I don't know. The guy who was a press secretary for Trump for one afternoon and then became anti-Trump the next afternoon. Thanks, Scaramucci. You did us all a favor.

I appreciate it. Could you at least duck in there and then become anti-Trump? Could you have been the press secretary that hates the president? That would have been so much more interesting. Now Theo Vaughn's in the front row and we're all trying to figure out who Carolyn Levitt or whatever her name is fucking saying. She's screaming out the time like I am. These tariffs are working!

Since no one ever! All right. We're already loopy and it's only episode number three that we're recording today. All right, we're going to take a break. Now to totally turn the tables. 180 degrees. 988, if you or anyone you know is in mental distress or in crisis, 988 is a free telephone line

that you can call or text 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They never sleep, they never take time off. And they know in English and in Spanish, and they know how to get you the resources and the help that you need or if you just need someone to talk to. They are there and they're there for a reason because everybody, everybody, Rachel will talk about this later. Oh, I want to say thank you to

Rachel by the way for being the narrator for this entire dumb idea. I mean, she really- And our best friend. Yeah, and our best friend. She's so great with the show and we love her to death and she's narrating all the intros to the show. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rachel, for all that. And she'll talk about this later, but we have all been through this, all of us. If you live long enough, you're going to have a mental health crisis of some sort. If it lasts a day, a month, or a year, you're going to go through it. Don't do it alone. Call a friend, call a family member, call 9-8-8, call TCB. I don't know, we're not professionals.

We can't help you out of mental health crisis, but we can say hello. And sometimes that's all it takes. It's just someone to say hello and know you're not alone. And I know that there are people out there in the commercial break audience who have been through this because you have texted us and told us so. And so whatever it takes, an episode of the commercial break,

throwing the commercial, unfollowing the commercial break. Yeah, unfollowing the commercial break, throwing the commercial, unfollowing the commercial break, unfollowing the commercial break, blocking the commercial break on Instagram, whatever it takes, you can get through this. It's just a season and seasons change. They always do. So take care of yourself, take care of your head, take care of those around you. We love you. Everyone loves you. I'm talking to whoever it is out there that needs this message today. Alien light language. Receiving transmission. $39.30.

All right. Okay. We're going to take a break so we don't get off track. We'll be back with Love Connection. All right, all right, all right, cats and kittens.

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.

Spring is here and you who else is listening? Hey Marissa, how are you doing? She's working today, I think. A lot of people listen while they work. A lot of people listen. I love that. Listen while you work. Anyway, hi Marissa. Good to have you on board and I hope your day is going well. Someone just texted us halfway through episode number three. Well,

you're listening to the minute. I mean, honestly, listening to the minute. And in just a couple of minutes, episode four will release. So there you go. Okay. As we're recording this, of course, this is not live. Okay, you're going to confuse everybody. I don't want to confuse anybody. You are not, we are not live. We are recording this an hour ahead of time.

Okay. So, Love Connection, What the Fuck Chuck, let's go back and let's revisit the guy who handed out pamphlets for a living and see how his date went. This is a short one, I think because for liability reasons, I kept it short with him. Yeah, I did. Yeah.

Thank you. Amy, our next guest, he enjoys all types of music and loves to dance. He says that he's been to... Okay, hold on one second, let me turn it up a little bit so the good folks at home can hear it. There we go. Oh. He's reading signals and has had to slow down lately.

Andy claims that his part-time job is... Ray Bennett is his name. He's a lighting technician, never been married, go figure. Age 30 looks 80. Age 30 looks 60. Kind of looks like Eddie Van Halen. He does look like Eddie Van Halen. You're so right about that.

And I think that's part of why this clip has gone so viral. You know, we're not the only ones who have noticed Ray Bennett. As a matter of fact, on TikTok, there's a whole account called Where is Ray Bennett now? Really? And he showed up and I saw it. He's an old gray man with a mustache and bald and he looks like an old, he looks like your dad.

I mean, not your dad, but your dad, right? That's who he looks like. Did he ever get married? I don't know, because the only video is just slideshow pictures of him, but clearly he's still out there and kicking, hey, Ray, what's up, buddy? This is the greatest love connection appearance in history.

Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. He does not have the build to be wearing jeans, boots or that shirt. He has the build to be wearing an elfin costume. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. So you have this great job that helps you meet women. Yeah, actually. Are you a bartender or a disc jockey or what? No, better. Better. Better. I hand out pamphlets on the street.

I'm part time, I promote for rock and roll bands on the Sunset Strip and I just have the option of just meeting women all day long. All day long. I do have to say the Sunset Strip back in his time. It's all tits and ass. Big hair, low cut shirts and short skirts. Those of you who live in California and LA will know this,

and I know we got listeners out there, will know that Sunset Strip, still to this day, Rockin' at the Sunset Strip. Rockin' at the Sunset Strip. Let's see here, hold on, do I have a song for that? Probably, give me a minute here. Ryan got it wrong, yeah. Ryan got it wrong, yeah.

Ryan got it wrong, yeah. Ryan got it wrong again. Yeah, that's the music that was hept back then in the 80s, big hair, big fake breast implants were just coming into fashion, so everyone was getting them. Yeah, so here's Ray doing his best. He said he had the option of meeting ladies all day long. Didn't mean that he did that because sometimes he had other things to do, Chrissy, but let's go back and listen to that one more time. And I just have the option of just meeting women all day long. I love it.

Promoting rock and roll bands on the Sunset Strip. Yeah, you know, passing out flyers. Yeah, passing out flyers, telling people that I'll be at the bar at 7 p.m. if they want to come on by. Chuck's trying to figure it out with him too. Yeah, Chuck with his quaffed hair is like, I don't understand. I get my escorts delivered to me. A gazari's, the troubadour, the rocks, you know, just passing out flyers all day long. Yeah, gazari's, you know, famous gazzaris.

You know what they say, it's not a gazzaris, it's so, so, sorry. Sorry, it's not a gazzaris. Have any of these women that you've met ever turned into a serious relationship? No, I'm not looking for that. I got more flyers to pass out, Chuck. I got a van to go back to. I got a van and a hamster. Oh, he definitely had to go back to. I got a van and a hamster. Oh, he definitely had a van.

Oh, he had a van and a hamster, I can guarantee. Superficial. It's superficial, but I gotta tell you, if I've had like 40 or 50 like one night stands, just reading these women on a strip. Yeah. Yeah. He's nodding vigorously. Sweet.

Good for you! You are a rock star of... I'm not a rock star, but I live like one, Chuck. I've had 40, 50, one night stands, no sex involved, but they needed a place to stay. My van was parked right out front, so I let them hang out there. Well, I won't ask you to define that, I just think you're working. And you say you had to slow down. Yeah, usually because I'm, with these women,

I'm usually a very aggressive person, but I usually now, over the years, I'll let them do the initiating, because I've been slapped like a cobble. Because I've been under police. Yeah, because the judge told me I got a snow dad. You know, Chuck, I'm usually a very aggressive person. I can see this guy in this day.

I don't know about Ray now. But I can see Ray back in the day being the kind of guy who if you got within 10 feet of him at a bar, like let's say you, Chrissy, transport you back to 1982. You're at Ghazari's. So sorry, Ghazari's. Atari Ghazari's. You're there, and Ray, like, you get in his tractor beam, and he just, like, a magnet sucks to you,

and he never stops talking to you. Cock blocks every other guy. Your girlfriends leave. They go home, and he's he's like guarding the door. Hey, I'm handing out flyers. You want to see my flyers? I almost own Gazari's. Sometimes it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

And they're sitting there going, I go, what'd you do that for? He goes, I'm not ready for it. So I just like, I let them do the initiating. Yeah. Was he just saying that they had gotten slapped a few times? Yeah, he said he no he actually said guy if you listen if you listen he says guy now. That's cool Whatever listen I was just like whoa whoa whoa and they're sitting there gonna I go would you do that for he goes? I'm not ready for it. It's not just like I let them do it

Yeah, he said I'm not ready for it. I'm not ready to do the initiating. Listen, whatever. It's a wild time. It's the 80s. Listen, this is before, you know, anything. I mean, at the 80s, we didn't know anything. You just had sex with anybody you wanted to. That's the way it was.

It was like a Roman bathhouse back in the 80s in the Sunset Strip. Chuck's like, well, how did this get past legal? How did he get past legal? Oh yeah. Okay, let's take a look at the women that Ray had to choose from. Now remember, you're going to pick the woman that you- I think Ray's high on cocaine. Just the way he's holding himself. It looks like he's on something.

...things best for him. First there's Maria. She enjoys dancing and miniature golf. She thinks that there are some great places to meet men like bars beaches Navy bases she usually dates once a week Navy bases I got I mean, okay I can imagine that's one of the best places to meet guys And she says that good looks are not priority for her and here's what well, thank God with Ray. That's a that's good looking for instead God, with Ray, that's good. He's looking for her instead.

I'm an honest, sincere person. Someone that can talk to me, doesn't have to yell at me, can tell me whatever he wants to tell me because I'm going to either take it and deal with it as I can or the door's right there if you don't like it. Maria, you seem sweet. Run. Yes. Next dawn you seem sweet. Run. Yes. Ha ha ha.

Next, Dawn, she works out regularly. Ooh, she stood up for herself. Ha ha ha. I told you, Bob. I told you women are standing up for themselves. Loves music. She'd like to meet a man who is talkative and considerate with a firm chin and larger hands.

We asked Dawn if she usually kisses on a firm chin. Ha ha ha. Firm chin. Firm chin and larger hands. We asked on if she usually kisses on a firm chin Firm chin and larger hands. Hopefully the hand is bigger than the chin. Yeah, I mean Don's looking for a meat wagon She's looking for a baby arm If I felt it was right, you know, I really like the guy and I felt he really liked me. I would kiss him. I wouldn't do anything else, just like a little pep or something. I don't think it's too good to go all out and start making out on the first date. You don't even really know the person. Ray says, not into it.

No thank you. Yeah, now here's... I got standards to abode. What would the guys at Grisauri's think if I didn't make out with a chick? Finally, Darcy says that sometimes she goes to nightclubs by herself. She describes herself as, quote, wild at times. She says that lately she's been losing interest in the men that she's been meeting after two weeks or the men that she's been meeting after, I suppose, she's been with them for two weeks.

It seems that a lot of guys approach her at work and here's more on that. I love that noise. Well she does work at an auto parts store. This is perfect for Ray and I think this is who he picks if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately you have to sift through those too. You know once in a while you'll get someone who will just be completely covered with oil and grease and he'll just look at you Oh, baby, you know, will you go out with me? No, I don't think so 1900 get real, you know Those are the three women John and Idaho owns that too. Yeah, John probably yeah, that's right

John owns 888 call TCB and 1900 get real time for you to decide who you would match him up with if you'll do that now. Ron! I know best! Ron! I mean the audience participation part of this was really fun. It really was. That was a huge part of the show. That's what everyone got excited about. When we come back we'll meet the woman that Ray selected here. Everything that happened on their date will do it. Two and two, be right back. Two and two, baby.

He coined that term. Can you imagine back then, commercial breaks were only two minutes and two seconds long? We can't even get Rachel to do a liner in less than a minute and a half. And that's not because of Rachel, that's because of Brian. We're back. Ray's going to tell us who he's selecting.

I picked Darcy. Haven't seen each other since their date. We always hear both sides. Salo to Darcy. Wiggle. Wiggy. Wiggy. What?

Wiggle Wiggles? Wiggle Wiggy? Yeah, what? Are you angling Chuck? What the fuck, Chuck? What the fuck, Chuck? Darcy, I'll get it out. It's Wiggy, right?

Yes, it's Wiggy. Yeah, nice to have you here, Darcy. Thank you Darcy make something home back there and Ray will start us off We we not we went to what was it? Actually we meet up at the 7-eleven Nothing like me number the 7-eleven meet me at the 7-eleven at 7 Go out from there. See how things go Hey, it's right. I picked you and Love Connection. They gave me your phone number, your address, your dress size, your social security number. What do you say we meet up at the 7-Eleven for a big gulp and some Slurpees?

Aw, dayla! Yeah, she came over at the 7-Eleven because if you live in Hawthorne, it's only Mr. Hollywood. So we met at the 7-Eleven and I looked her over. She was wearing some nice, you know, she came up in the car, looked her over and had some really nice sunglasses on, driving gloves, which was kind of neat. And I go, okay. Driving gloves is what I said driving gloves What is going on in Hollywood?

You're at the 7-eleven Ray pulls up checks you out. You're wearing driving gloves Well, you want to race what? What is this fast and furious? I liked it. And what did you think of Ray when you saw him Darcy? He was dressed really casual in shorts and Like a tank top. He kind of looked pretty dorky. I don't know Shorts in a tank? Well, that does fit to 7-Eleven. Yes, it does. You fit right in at 7-Eleven with shorts and a tank top. But Ray, are we not...

I thought you were the Casanova of Sunset Strip. I thought you were the Grazari's I'm not sorry's Casanova. Oh my gosh, hey, hey this, I come in cash. I figure there's only one way to go if I'm half naked. Well, Ray, so. Oh, my God. Shocking. Ray, we don't want to get into any kind of legal proceedings, so can we move this along, Ray?

Yeah, so what are you, jumping her car or your car? Yeah, we jumped in the car and she did all the driving. She came down from Lancaster. Well, she's got the gloves. Why does she want to do the driving? You don't expect not to drive if you're wearing gloves. Driving gloves, nonetheless. Driving gloves?

Who wears those? Inspector Clouseau and the Girl From Love Connection. We went down to Hermosa Beach. Then we found our... Does it seem romantic to you at all, this whole procedure? Um... Procedure. Procedure? Um... Well, I really haven't laid on the charm yet, Chuck.

I have to get a little warmed up. Kind of sort of. It was like more of a friend... It was more of a friendship kind of thing. So far more of a friendship kind of vibe, which is, you know, most of the vibes that I get. Friendship kind of, you know, kind of the leave me alone vibe. Yeah.

You know, the uh, I'm not talking to you, but you're talking to me kind of vibe. You know, you know, kind of the leave me alone vibe. Yeah. You know, the, uh, uh, I'm not talking to you, but you're talking to me kind of vibe, you know, you know, one way conversation. You've been there. You are. And you're doing what? Uh, we went down to find a nice place to park. Then she goes, Hey, you went down to find a nice place to park. Hey, you want to go find a nice place?

Did they just leave the car? The seven 11? I guess they did. They left his. Why not? Hey, it's a different time, Chrissy. You can leave the car, the 7-Eleven? I guess they did, they left his. Sure, why not? Hey, it's a different time, Chrissy, you can leave your car anywhere you want to. And I might point out that both of them... Maybe he walked.

Yeah. In his tank and shorts. Probably. That's why he was wearing a tank and shorts. May I remind you, both of these young folks went to the same hairstylist. They did, they're here like tomorrow night. I want to see my chat talks. Whip?

I go, did you bring it? I They're hairline's the same. I want to see my hair toss. Whip. I go, did you bring it? I go, yeah, I brought the whip. So she lifted up the truck and she brought out this whip and then as soon as she starts twirling around and twirling around. What a date. 7-Eleven to the parking spot to whip. I want to be a part of this so bad.

They needed cameras the whole time. That was one element they were missing. It set up a couple of Coke cans out there and she just went, wham-o! And it snapped it right off, it was great. Wham-o! Set up a couple Coke cans. Couple Coke cans?

Now we're at a, what are we doing now? We're at a rodeo all of a sudden? I guess, I don't know So not just another pretty face So is this like a bull whip like one of those 12 foot bull whips Yeah, it's a nine foot leather bull whip exactly you get it out of feet horse and feed shop you what a horse and feed shop. You what? A horse and feed shop, yes. Yeah, one of those right around every corner.

Especially in LA. The horse and feed shops are on every corner at Sunset Strip. How does this come in handy, Darcy? Are you snapping snakes as you walk down the road or what? I use it for self-protection mainly. Self-protection. So let me get this straight bad guys come up you're at the dark street you pull down the wrong alley bad guys come up semi-automatic weapons you

say can you excuse me for a minute while i open my trunk and get my nine-foot bow whip i got it at the horse and feed store it's kind of wonder woman is Hey, listen, I love it. I love the idea of a woman running around, snapping guys with a bow whip. But I think this is a clear sign to Ray that he will not, in fact, be getting laid tonight. Get within nine feet of you or their eyes. 18 feet, you know. Every which way. I don't really use it on anybody. I've hit myself several times with it. So, you've had the whip demonstration. Now what happened?

Oh, then we went down to Redondo and stuff. We had a couple of drinks down there. Then she wanted to do like shopping and stuff. So I go, what do you want to shop for? She goes like skull earrings and handcuffs. She probably was trying to give him the hint that he needed to buy something to wear on this date. Yeah. Maybe she was just trying to intimidate him out of the date. She's looking for handcuffs and skull earrings?

Yeah, kind of stuff like that. So we went shopping around. She wanted to get this like bustier thing. It was like a Madonna black bustier. Ah! Bustier! Briss! Just the thought made me jizz! Her favorite color is black, so I go perfect.

Perfect. So I should, you know, get ready for the ending. Black is the presence of all color. That's it. That's it. Just no black roses, Jack. Sorry? No black roses. Sorry? No black roses. Every, everything. Let me write that down. So, do you go someplace after this? Yeah, we went out dancing a little

place in Manhattan Beach. We got there early, so we just go, all right, what do you want to do now? I still picturied him in his shorts and tanked up. Shorts tanked up and so far all we've heard is about all the townships they've been to. Redondo, Thomasville, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa. He's one of these guys that likes to name drop the places he knows. Let's have a couple of shooters. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. That's what we're doing with five hour energy. Oh yeah, two already. So we started dancing.

It's literally described as a two-fisted drinker. And so we went out dancing. We're four or five songs later. We're all sweaty, panting and sticky. I'm picturing his hair like sweaty. Stuck to the side of his head. He's dancing hard. His bald spot showing in the back.

Dogs on the dance floor. He's dancing hard. His bald spot showing in the back. Dogs on the dance floor. So we came in. Cowboy boots with shorts and a tank top. She's got her bustier and handcuffs. And we sat down. We're just looking at each other and just started blowing each other off, cooling us down.

And we started getting towels and stuff. It was kind of neat. It's kind of neat. I actually talked to her. I've touched her. Touched a real live woman. I've never had a date like this on the show. No, it's Chuck. No one has. Chuck's stumped. Yeah, no one's had a date like this, unless they've been with Ray. These are things that I've never heard before. So how did this date end? Um, it ended about like 1230, you know, we were both on the tired side and she had to go see her dad.

So what I did... Does not sound like an excuse to get out of the end part of the date. I'm gonna go see my dad. To have her drop me off on the freeway on ramp. I don't remember this. I don't remember this Drop me off at the freeway on ramp I live under the bundle. I live on the overpass

What straight now just here on the on ramp no no that's my house the overpass! Where? What? Straight? No, just here on the on-ramp. No, no, no. That's my house. The overpass. Under it. Really weird. It's great because she doesn't know her way around at all. So I'm just like, here, just drop me here.

Sounds completely safe to drop you off on the side of the 101 in LA. A little tired. This is the way home. And, uh... So she drops you off on the freeway on ramp, and you walk home. And I walk home, yeah. The reason being, because she doesn't... The reason being...

There's no explanation that makes sense here, Ray. I know you're going to try, but there's no explanation. Five minutes away. I felt kind of strange about dropping him off at the freeway, but he insisted that I drop him off there. He didn't want me to get lost after dropping him off. No, he didn't want you to go to his house. Exactly.

He didn't want you to see his van. Yeah. He came off at home and then coming back and getting lost trying to find the freeway. So it felt funny. I didn't really want to drop him off there and I've never done that before. I've never heard of anyone ever doing that before. It makes perfect sense in the context of his day. It really does. I didn't really want to drop him off there and I've never done that before but... I've never heard of anyone ever doing that before. It makes perfect sense in the context of his date though.

It really does. Yeah, it was fine. So just hugging a kiss on a cheek and you know, I didn't want to... He sneaked that ad check. And boom, boom, boom. What? I grabbed all of his face, turned it sideways and gave him a... Oh, he tried to go in for the kiss and she turned her head, she said.

Yeah, I understand. Well, there's nothing that says, you know, how sexy I am, like dropping somebody off at the freeway all around. Listen, if you're so embarrassed of your house that you have to be dropped off in the most dangerous possible situation ever, that's bad news. I mean, listen, take her to the good side of town with the houses with the fences and the gate. Yeah.

And just pretend to be pressing buttons and go, it's not working. Code's not working. Don't worry about it. I'll get it. I'll get it. Go on. Can you call me a cab just in case I have to go to my other mansion? Have her drop you off at the nicest apartment building in Bel Air.

What's she gonna know? Go in the parking lot and then say bye and then walk to your house under the overpass. You got shorts on? Not too hot. Let's take a look and see what the audience picked for you. I guess this worked. We're to find out pretty soon. They picked Darcy, 252% as a matter of fact. All the way from Lancaster, if you'd like to ask her out again, she'd be happy to pay for it. Darcy, would you like to get some more peach margaritas? I'd love to.

What up, Darcy? Oh, wow. She said yes. I mean, they almost seem like they go together. Yeah, I guess. And once you drop someone off on the highway, you're kind of bonded for life. I think you have to go for a second time just to find out where he lives. Oh, we're the same height. That's good news because he is on the shorter side.

Not that I'm hating on short guys. I'm just sharing that he's short. I must, I must say for all the, for all the verbal bravado going on here, I got a feeling that, well, you all had a nice time anyway. We're going to come right back with our next guest. Would you like to be on? Oh, I do like Chuck, and I did like Ray, and you know what? I got a soft spot in my heart.

What is this picture now? I don't know. I don't know. It's the end of the episode. It's the end of the Love Connection episode. I guess they're gonna fill it in later. Fill in the face. Yeah, it's literally cardboard. Look at it. It's got shadows.

There's no AI. No AI technology there, Chrissy. The face has got off. Kevin, show that on the video so we know what we're talking about here. All right. The TCB's endless truck's on with our cowboy boots on the outside of our pants. We keep on moving along. Thanks to, I see the phone's going off. It's blowing up.
