When somebody asks me if I'm having a good day, I just gotta ask myself three questions, brother.

One, am I alive? I usually am. Two, am I in the land of the free? I usually am, baby. And three, do I feel the smile and spirit of George Washington gazing down upon me from the great pearly land of the free in the sky? Brother, there ain't a moment that goes by that I don't feel that.

And when I add up that math, makes me realize there are no bad days in the land of the free, baby. On this episode of The Commercial Break. I'm not gonna go and interview him. You see Chrissy wiping my ass. I'm like hanging on the side of the tub, just shitting myself, and Chrissy's like,

I would pass you good toilet paper and some dude wipes. I would. Chrissy looks like someone from ET. I'd throw them in there. Yeah, she'd be like. I'd open the door quick paper and some dude wipes. I would. Chrissy looks like someone from ET. Yeah, she'd be like. I'd open the door quick, throw them in there. Sorry about your ass!

Great episode. That's a ride or die. Great episode. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Wilford to my Brimley, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian.

And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. So it's been, there are many things to talk about today. I'm actually excited because this is one of those days when our cup fill is over with shit to talk about. I like the cup. Me too. Full cup. Two podcasters, one cup.

Okay, by the way, my brother said, do not whatever you do, Google one boy, one cup. Oh. It doesn't sound like anything I'd want to Google, but now when someone tells you not to Google something, then of course you have to Google it. Like I made the mistake many years ago, two girls, one cup. Okay, there's nothing I'm interested in,

but thanks for showing me the world's most disgusting video. Wilford Brimley, I gotta tell you a story that I want you to tell me about why you sent me this picture. This morning I wake up and Chrissy has sent me a picture of Wilford Brimley, who we were talking about a couple of episodes ago, because Wilford Brimley was a tender age of 51 years old

when a photograph we saw on Instagram was taken. He looked no younger than 79 years old. No younger. I mean, the guy honestly looked like any other 80-year-old walking down the street in 2024. But in 1981, he was 51 years older. In 1982, 51 years old. And man, did he look old. I mean, old. And Chrissy and I have been talking about this forever, about how people who were in their

30s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, back in the 70s and 80s, they just look really old compared to people who look like us today. So I go to Starbucks and I'm opening my phone for the first time. See, you know, who's calling me for money. So I open my phone for the first time and I see your text Starbucks and I'm opening my phone for the first time. See, you know, who's calling me for money. So I open my phone for the first time and I see your text message and I start laughing. One of the girls comes over, is standing right in front of me while I'm waiting for the coffee.

And she comes over, she goes, what are you laughing at? And I said, well, I'm laughing at this photograph. How old do you think this gentleman is in this photograph? And she replies, I don't know, 50, 60 years old, something like that. And I was surprised at why she said 50, 60. I thought for sure she was going to say 70 or 80. She is, I believe, around my age. But there's another young girl, Katie, who works there. She's probably no older than 19, 20 years old. I might be getting that wrong, but that's my guess based on her energy and the way that she looks. 19, 20 years old. She comes bouncing over and she goes, 35. And I said, 30, you think this guy is

35 years old? And she says, no, I thought you were 35 years old. I thought you were asking how old I look. And I said, no, it's this picture. And I go, you think I look 35 years old? And she said, 33, 34. Like she had gotten it wrong. Right. And I said, do you honestly believe I'm 35 years old and she said 33, 34, like she had gotten it wrong, right? And I said, do you honestly believe I'm 35 years old? She's like, oh yeah, I guess you're in your like mid thirties, like lower to mid thirties. I said, I'm going to kiss you right on your mouth, right on your mouth, Katie, right on that mouth, because that is a lovely thing to say. No, I am not anywhere close to 34 years old, but thank you very much. I really appreciate it. How old do you think... I mean, you're not that far off. God, you make yourself sound like you're 80. Well, I mean, okay, I'm not that far off. But I'm not exactly right around the corner from 34

years old either. I'm not 50, but I'm also not, you know, 35 or 36 years old. So I just wanted to kiss her on her mouth. But then I saw, I said, hey, listen, how old do you think the gentleman in this picture is? And she goes, I don't know, 80? And I was like, he's 50 years old in that photograph. 50, and he does look 80. You're right about that.

Why did you send me that picture? Well, first of all, I don't know exactly how old he was in the picture that I sent you, but basically every picture that I looked at, they all looked the same. So I just screen-shotted one and sent it to you. But the reason I sent it to you was because we were talking about Wilford Brimley and somehow he seeped into my dream last night. And it was so bizarre. I woke up and- Chrissy was riding his handlebar mustache in the dream.

No, he was just there. He was part, he was the owner or the manager of this like general store type place that maybe had like a cracker barrel-ish type feel to it, except we were in Jamaica and there were some nice Jamaican wares that were for sale in this place. So I was trying to pick out like a special necklace or something that I wanted, but he was floating around.

And so it just made me laugh. And so I woke up and found a picture incident and said, good morning. Yeah, good morning, Wilfred Brimley. It was nice, at least it's a nice warm face to wake up to. For those of you who just don't know who we're talking about, which I imagine is, not a lot of the audience, but some of the audience. Let me remind you of the commercials that played forever in the 80s and 90s

for two specific companies. One is Liberty, the people who sell diabetes meters or something like that. We all say it diabetes, but we'll say it diabetes. But he said it diabetes. diabetes, but he says it diabetes, diabetes, diabetes, diabetes. But then also he was a very famous spokesperson for Quaker Oats. If there is ever a man who looks like a Quaker, it is Wilford Brimley. Because one of the girls at the counter asked me, what ethnicity is he? And I go, fuck am I supposed to know? I don't know Wilford Brimley. I don't know. But then I thought to myself, he's as Quaker as it comes. His last name is Brimley and he looks like the guy on the Quaker Oats box. Let's listen to that commercial real quick. Hold on. You know, when I was a kid and got ahold of a nickel, I thought I was rich.

I didn't turn on my nose at pennies either. Today some folks won't even bend to pick them up. Well here's a bowl of steaming Quaker oatmeal. And I can't think of a healthier way to start the day. Cost you one nickel and four pennies. So if you can't be bothered with nickels and pennies, throw them in a jar. Start an oatmeal fund. Quaker oats. Well if I've ever been convinced to not eat something in my life, Wilford just did it. A nickel and four pennies. It cost nine cents to buy oats. When was this commercial? It's probably per serving.

Per serving. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, no, it's pretty funny. Yeah, well, I did the Wikipedia on him and he had quite the story This bowl of hot steaming dog shit cost me five pennies and two nickels He was in some Westerns. Yes. I was and then he was an activist Against the ban on cock fighting. There's nothing wrong with a little cock fighting And the reason was is because he thought that was stripping away then at your liberties, and then everything could be taken away if cockfighting was banned. Well, cockfighting's banned. Next thing you know, we're going to be marrying goats.

I'm Wilford Brimley for cockfighting. It was very strange to read that part. So yeah. I'm Wilford Brimley for gay-related cockfighting. I like taking out my penis just as much as the next man. Cost me a nickel and four pennies when I was a kid to put my penis in a glory hole. I don't want that taken away. I'm a libertarian and a Quaker. Wilford Brimley here for cockfighting. Cockfighting. I know. But here's where Wilford, I think, is maybe in the lexicon of popularity in 2024, is because

everyone loves to hear him say, diabetes. Yes. Diabetes. You have diabetes and you're on Medicare. You may qualify for a free meter from Liberty Medical. If you have type two diabetes like I have, you're confronted with choices. You can choose to feel sorry for yourself. I hope you don't

I hope you choose to get involved with a good doctor Get involved with a good doctor. I hope you get off your fat ass and start working out So it takes us to get involved starting to get a doctor quicker oats Chris Chris said do you have diabetes? I do not. If you do have diabetes, I sure hope you die tomorrow because you suck. Thanks, Wilford. Wilford's such a nice guy. Diabetes and your own body in the bargain. You learn to check your own blood sugar and check it often.

That along with a simple diet and exercise program can help keep your diabetes under control. If you're on Medicare, call Liberty Medical. He has a sense of authority. Well, yeah, he's scaring the shit out of you is what he's doing. He comes from a different time, you can just tell. If you have diabetes, you're sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, get yourself a nickel bowl of Quaker Oats.

And then test your glucose with my Liberty Mutual, not Liberty Mutual, with my Liberty testing strip. Diabetes, diabetes. How do you come up with diabetes from diabetes? He did. I know, he's got that mustache that covers his entire mouth. I think that's what it was. Yeah, you can't see his mouth, yeah, it was kind of fuzzy.

He kind of pronounced the BD's part. It's so strange. So strange. But I think we're right about this. I think people just grew up faster. I think we are literally being mummified by all the plastic that we're putting in our bodies. It's so strange.

Probably. All right, second item of note here for you, Chrissy. Yesterday, you heard our interview with Joe Dombrowski. Yes. We loved Joe. Joe was great. Joe is just one of those guys. Blue agrees. Yeah, blue agrees. God damn that dog. Honestly, can I have one moment of peace in this house? I think I just heard Astrid.

Yeah. Blah, blah. Yeah. Astrid knows, she like manages the dog for the commercial break. As well as the 30 kids. Yeah, seriously. It's a superhero.

But the kids can be screaming at the top of their lungs, won't be anywhere close to as loud as Blue, that piercing bark that just keeps on going. So we had Joe on yesterday. He's got a big tour coming up this fall. So please go to thejoedumbrowski.com. You can check him on his social. He's got millions of followers, so he's not hard to find. He's really funny. He's like a naturally funny human being. And that's the best kind. I like when we have people on that they're not making an effort to be funny. It comes out of them. It's like running through their pores.

And unbelievably, after we've had a little bit of experience talking to comedians, a little bit of experience, not everybody that we've talked to I think has that natural sense of humor, right? I think they're good at standup comedy, but maybe when they're not doing standup comedy, that's not their natural disposition. Joe is definitely one of those people

that I think you just put in a room and you'd find him funny regardless. But anyway, so Joe pointed out something that we had no idea about. And that is we have really pissed off Possum Lover 54. Yes, we did. I don't know where this started. I don't know how this started.

I don't even know which episode. We couldn't know how this started. I don't even know which episode. We couldn't figure it out. Couldn't figure it out. We were like, when did we even talk about possums? Having germs or something? So I'm gonna tell you this. I'm gonna give you a $20 Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, Caribou Coffee,

whatever place you like to go to coffee. I'm gonna buy your coffee for a week. If you can find, because it takes us a long time to do, I'm going to buy your coffee for a week. If you can find, because it takes us a long time to do this, maybe you'll understand it right off the bat. If you can find in the commercial break catalog, where I was so upsetting to the possum lovers out there, there is literally a review on Apple that says someone used to like us. Yeah, I really liked your show until- Until you talk shit about possums.

They've been around longer than humans. They're better than humans. They deserve to be here more than humans. Yeah, it was very, very interesting review. Someone really has a connection with possums. Now, while I find this hard to believe, and I stand my ground that possums are aliens on earth, I didn't say they don't deserve... Well, maybe I did say they don't deserve to be here on earth. I don't know. I don't remember. Maybe I said that. It's not, I don't throw it past me. I'm speaking for seven hours a week on this fucking show. I sometimes I say stuff just because I say it. It's not necessarily

that I believe it with all my heart. And now I'm apologizing to the possum community. Fuck you. Fuck you. I don't like possums. What else? Well, also too, I was wondering, I mean, if you're that passionate about possums, are you, because I unfortunately, I mean, see them dead on the road quite a bit. Is this person like doing something about that, having a little ceremony? Yes. Or, you know, burying them? I don't know. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo garbage last night now it's all over the front lawn. I see one every 30 feet on the street. So people eat them for dinner. Yeah, I think people do. Oh yeah, people eat possum roadkill.

I say all the time. All the time. I love a good possum stew. What are you talking about? Some people might eat it all the time. We don't know. I don't know how I offended you. I think was it like Bella something? Yeah. Or was Bella the girl who wrote it? I don't know how I offended you. I think it was it like Bella something? Yeah. Or was Bella the girl who wrote it? I don't know. Yeah. Somebody wrote this. And if you're still listening, I don't know what to tell you. We're sorry. I just don't like possums. Isn't that okay? Can't we disagree on the possums?

I agree they have their place here on earth. They're not going away. I don't know that I would choose. If I was picking, like, if there's a flood coming tomorrow and I was going to be, you know, who's that guy? Noah? Noah. If I was going to be, who's that guy? Who's that guy? Who's that guy? You know, that famous guy had a boat, flooded through the, if I was going to be Noah, I don't know that I would choose two possums to come along on the boat ride, but, you know,

okay, that's just my personal opinion. So, I'm sorry that I offended you. I'm begging you to come on the show and explain why possums are better than the commercial brake. Because if we can't even be better than possums, then I think we have zero chance of ever making this show successful. That's what I took away from it. I'm like, people are literally leaving the show because they prefer possums. Possums! They prefer a possum to the commercial break. We are terrible at our jobs if we're not beating possums on the totem pole, you know? I thought we'd like be in the conversation like, eh, I prefer Theo Vaughan over the commercial. Eh, Conan just a little bit better. Eh, Smartless has, you know, they're better guests than the commercial break. But we're not even going past Possums.

Possums. By the way, like a dolphin or something, at least the dolphins are pretty and they make cool noises. You know what I'm saying? Well, we love dolphins. Look, our show is not for everybody. Our show is definitely not for everybody. And I guess we can't even beat possums.

Here's my call to you, the podcast audience. First one to find where I said that I did not like possums and find it in context so that we can understand exactly what we said to piss off this poor lady. I will buy you coffee for a week. First person, text in 212-433-3TCB. Find me the episode number. Two nickels and four pennies. I'm buying you Quaker Oats for a week.

Quaker Oats for a week. But I'll sign the Quaker Oats. That's better. I'm sending you a crate of, no, I'm just sick with the coffee. I don't want to say things I can't. Is that the FCC calls me and they're like, hey, you're doing uncertified contests.

Not a contest. I'm just asking somebody to do me a favor. Find me the quote. The possum offense. Yeah, do I have to issue an official apology? Like, what's going on? I don't know. I don't know what I said, so I don't know how it goes.

But I cannot believe for the life of me that we can't even be, you know, I'm going to put on the show description now. You know, right now it says we're like the Cheesecake Factory, we're fine, we're fine. I'm going to say, hated by possum lovers everywhere. Number one possum enemy, eminy, eminy. Number one possum enemy, the commercial break. Do you have any inkling of where we might have said this? No, when Joe brought it up, I was like, what? I just really don't remember when we talked about it.

Well, first of all, good on Joe for doing his homework. He did. Yeah. He was like, I decided to check you guys out before I got on here. Here's another thing Joe said. Here's another thing Joe said, and I think he'll be okay with me sharing this. After we get off air, Joe says,

who in the world are you guys connected to? And I said, what do you mean? And he goes, who are you connected to? I'm going down your list of guests. I looked up their managers, their president. You go by all my friends. Yeah, I just wanna know who exactly I was getting involved with here.

And I looked down and I'm really impressed by this list. It's like all my friends, all the people I look up to, like all the managers, all the, they're all been, you know, a bunch of them been on the show. And I said, well, you know, we have a booking agent, you know, someone that helps us out with the booking. And then he goes, oh, okay, all right. And so I took that as a high compliment. And then when I walked out of the studio, I shared with Astrid, I said, Hey, you know

what Joe said? He said, you know, he's really impressed with the guest list that we've had this all. And she goes, yeah, it's probably because he took a look at your Instagram and saw 3000 people not even following you. He can't even get to 3000. I wondered how exactly Rachel Feinstein showed up on your show. Exactly. Oh, fuck you. I said, Astrid, come on. I had a moment where I was actually feeling good about myself and then you had to bring me down a notch. That's Astrid, come on, I had a moment where I was actually feeling good about myself,

and then you had to bring me down a notch. That's Astrid's job in life, is to make sure Brian's head doesn't get too big. It's so true. He's probably like, wow, look at that. Rachel Feinstein, Heather McMahon, Margaret, these guys are big time. Let's look at their Instagram. Did it did it did it did it. Do you? I love it. What?

We're big in Venezuela. Yeah, he was probably like, is this the same commercial break that I'm going? Right. Is there another commercial break? There is another commercial break. They talk about, I don't know, taxes or something. I'm not sure what they do. All right, so let's do this. Let's take a break.

I got lots more fun stuff to talk about. Our cup phyllis-o-phyllith- Diabetes. Diabetes. Every time I start making fun of Wilford, my tongue doesn't work. We'll be right back. We'll be right back with more diabetes related information. Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath and now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right, it's 212-433-3TCB. And you can text us anytime you want. Or you can call and leave us a voicemail and we might just use your

message on the show. Once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on TCB Podcast.com. Now I'm going to thank G one more time that we have sponsors. So thank G and here they are.

My mini-series is live now, each and every Monday, and the only person missing is you. We're dating, we're dumping, we're learning, and we're tapping into all the feels that originally brought us together.

Listen and follow Sophia with an F on the Odyssey app or wherever you got your podcasts. You know, we talk a lot about weird food combinations on this show. You know, Brian likes his cream and cereal. There's the ramen incident. There's the ramen noodle. Oh. I cannot believe that I put that in my body. For years, I put that in my body. It's probably why my ex-wife divorced me. She was probably like, remember how we had Jenna? Yes.

Was it Jenna? Yes. Jenna wrote in and was like, wow, the guy that I'm dating eats a bunch of slop and he eats it sloppily and I just can't take it anymore. What do you guys think? Well, I'm just wondering now what Julia was thinking on the other end of my ramen noodles, chipotle beef, ramen noodles, so the chipotle beef packet, probably an entire bag of Mexican shredded cheese. By the way, I would put two or three bags of ramen noodles, entire bags of Mexican

cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, steak sauce, crackers. I mean, I just, I put everything under the jalapenos sometimes. It just didn't matter. I would put it all in there and it would just be this disgustingly gloppy, gloopy mess that I thought was delicious. And no wonder I dropped 75 pounds after I divorced her. I stopped eating that shit. I was like, well, I guess I got to stop eating like a three year old now. She probably went to the divorce attorney and was like, I cannot for one more minute watch that man eat another fucking, literally we spend $180 a month on ramen noodles.

On the ones that are 10 for a dollar. That's right. That is a nickel and four pennies. Ramen noodles is a nickel and four pennies. So there's lots of weird food combinations that people like. My wife was pregnant 75 times, so I know that when you get pregnant, sometimes you have cravings for weird foods. And a lot of the weird, some of the weird food that is often mentioned when it's talking about pregnancy is something related to pickles, right? Pickles. Ice cream and pickles or cookies and pickles, some sweet and tart, that's like the combination

for whatever reason that pregnant women will often report finding themselves craving. But I saw something on Instagram the other day, and I had no idea this was a thing. No idea this was a thing. And I'm probably six months behind this conversation, but you heard it here last. You heard it here last from the number one enemy of possums and podcasting. There was a lady who drove through the sonic drive-thru and ordered a Dr. Pepper with pickles. A Dr. Pepper with pickles. So you want to just hear the little reel here? Pickles in the Dr. Pepper or just some pickles and a Dr. Pepper on the side?

Okay, listen. Let me restart. Yes ma'am, I need to get a large Dr. Pepper with pickles. All right, we got a large Dr. Pepper with pickles. And you're gonna see the cherries up there, ma'am. And that's gonna be your pickles, okay? Okay, thank you so much. Yes ma'am, and you have a great day today.

We had a total of 362. First of $3.62 for a fucking Dr. Pepper. Inflation is out of control. Second of all, it really is. That's crazy. $3.62. I don't know if she ordered anything else, but I mean, if you're paying $3.62 for fucking Dr. Pepper, but what the lady is saying here, just so you don't get confused, when she says you'll see cherries, meaning they have to charge extra for the pickles

So they are charging for chair They're putting cherries on the screen not in her drink what they put in her drink is actual fucking pickles So this right here is a pickle Dr. Pepper so is Dr. Pepper with deal pickle sauces and Don't knock that till you try it if you like pickles and you like Dr. Pepper with dill pickle sauces in it. And don't knock it till you try it. If you like pickles and you like Dr. Pepper and you're probably like, ew gross, I would never ever drink that.

But there's a lot of people that do drink this. Did you hear her the way she took my order? Yeah, she seemed like- I'm the only person that's ever. Right, she didn't seem surprised by it. No, the lady on the other end was not shocked. The lady on the other end was also a Dr. Pepper and pickle drinker because she clearly was not fazed by it one bit whatsoever.

She didn't skip a beat. She didn't. And this seems strange to me. Now, there's a thick Southern draw going on here, so I got to imagine she's somewhere in South Georgia, Alabama, somewhere like that. But I had no idea that this was a thing. I had no idea putting pickles inside of your soda was a thing. And I can't, I mean, I can't remember the last time I had a Dr. Pepper, but I do like it. It's not a bad drink. I like it. Every once in a blue moon, I don't go to fast food restaurants a lot or at all anymore, but when I do, sometimes I'll choose the Dr. Pepper on the thing. Sorry, she's doing it again. Sometimes I'll choose the Dr. Pepper as a foul drink.

Yeah, every once in a while, I'll do the Dr. Pepper as a foul drink. Every once in a while, I'll do a Dr. Pepper. But it just sounds really fucking disgusting to me to put pickles inside of your Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper is so sweet. And then you put those pickles in there. Doesn't that cause like some weird taste? Apparently not to her or other people. So second call to the audience in one show. I want to know if anybody does this.

This is a thing for anybody else, because I've never heard of it, and I've been around some people that are really southern, and I've never heard anybody say, I want a pickled Dr. Pepper. She referred to it as a pickled Dr. Pepper. This is making news in like the New York Post. Maybe it's like the saltiness or something, because I remember my grandfather liked to have Coca-Cola with some salt on it. Really? Yes.

Really. You know, when chocolate and salt started becoming a thing, I like that. whatever it was, two decades ago, when chefs started putting, you know, salted caramel, salted chocolate, putting salt on top of desserts that you get at restaurants, it didn't faze me one bit, because when I was a stoner kid, 16, 17, my favorite snack, my favorite snack was to get chocolate covered graham crackers, like graham cracker cookies, graham cookies, whatever they were.

Okay. Right, they would sell like the Keebler elves. Yeah, something like that. Little bears, little bears, that's right. Something like that. And then I would also grab a bag of whatever potato chips were around, Ruffles, Lays, whatever was around. I would grab it, and then I'd take a handful of chocolate I put in my mouth, and then I'd stuff a bunch of potato chips in there. That sweet and salty. That sweet and salty just hit the spot, especially when I was stoned, especially when I was,

of course, when I was stoned I didn't eat anything, but, so when people started putting salt on chocolate and some other people around me were like, oh my God, that's crazy. I never thought it was all that crazy. I thought, oh no, that's a good combination right there, salt and chocolate. And now is one of my favorite things in the world to eat is like, you know, chocolate covered pretzels, a little sweet, a little salty, whatever it is. So, I'm not saying, I don't know because I've never tried it, might taste perfectly lovely. But it just seems like a weird thing to put in a drink. Pickles?

Pickles? If I brought Dr. Pepper in here one day, and I brought a series of things that we should put in that Dr. Pepper to see if we can come up with a brand new combination, would you go through the motions with me? I would try the pickles. I would try it.

What about other things? Like an oyster Dr. Pepper, would you try that? No. No? I don't like oysters really. You don't? I'll try it. What about other things? Like an oyster Dr. Pepper, would you try that? No. No? I don't like oysters really. You don't? What happened to you as a kid?

I just don't like them. You're not afraid of heights, but you like oysters. They seem slimy. You don't like oysters. They seem slimy? Uh-huh. But wait a second. You don't like them whatsoever?

I mean, I'll eat a Rockefeller, an oyster Rockefeller, but that's just because I- The tiny, tiny little ones? The ones that look like pearls? They look like pearls. They're tiny little, I- The tiny, tiny little ones? The ones that look like pearls? The ones that look like pearls. They're tiny little, the Rockefellers, those little ones, right? No, no, no, Rockefellers got the spinach and the cheese and stuff. Oh, oysters Rockefeller.

Oh, I thought you were talking about like a type of oyster. No. Oh, okay. Oysters Rockefeller. That's just because it has the spinach and the cheese on it. That's just cheese dip, where that happens to have an oyster in it. Only that. Ah, that's really interesting. I didn't know that about you.

Beth Dombkowski Not my thing. Jared Slauson But she loves, loves, loves, loves crab legs. Just letting you know that. Beth Dombkowski Yes, I do. Jared Slauson Don't take this girl out to dinner. She's going to order all the crab legs in the restaurant, regardless of how much they cost. Yeah, I think we got to try this. I think we should bring some Dr. Pepper in here. I'll bring some pickles and some other items. You know, we'll just throw them in the Dr.

Pepper and see what happens. Yeah, sure. Are you willing to do this with me? I am. Okay. Still won't do the hot wing challenge though. Still won't do the one chip challenge. I tried that one. No. Why not?

Because somebody died from it and also too, I don't like just hot for hot. It's gotta be flavorful. I don't need to challenge myself on that. I'm not, you were challenging ourselves for the show. No, you just specifically want me to eat it. Well, yes I do. Of course I do. Yes, I want you to do it with me.

I want us both to suffer equally at the same time. I don't want to suffer. I literally want to cover the studio in plastic because it would be full of snot and saliva and shit and puke or whatever it is we're going to do. And then I want to watch this ride around the paint. Hand bone. Hand bone's going crazy. I think we should do a weird food related episode. And so I'm trying to gather some ideas. I'm getting on board with the Dr. Pepper thing. So take it where you can get it. Well, whoopty fucking do. You put some pickles in your Dr. Pepper, but not oysters.

What about, well, I'm going to come up with a list of things and then you can approve or disagree. Maybe our listeners can write in some ideas. I'll put a G sheet together and then you can, you know, approve or disapprove of what my ideas are. I thought you were like, you were like, my ride or die. You just try anything for any reason. No, that's not the definition. That's not the definition of ride or die? Well, I got to revisit. I'll be there for you while you're shitting and peaking. Please!

I'll help you, but I'm not gonna go in with you on it. You see Chrissy wiping my ass? I'm like hanging on the side of the tub, just shitting myself. And Chrissy's like, God. I would pass you good toilet paper and some dude wipes. I would. Chrissy looks like someone from ET. I'd throw them in there.

Yeah, she'd be like. I'd open the door quick, throw them in there. Sorry about your ass! Great episode! That's a ride or die. Yeah. Great episode. The possum queen wants to talk to you. Possum queen. Speaking of things in your ass, there's a guy that's got arrested. Here it is. A man in Texas has been accused of contaminating items from an antique store by placing them in his ass. Michael Vest, 60 years old, was observed sticking $200 worth of antiques in his rear end and then putting them back on the shelf. Now he got caught

on camera doing this. Good God. That is... Come on. What's wrong? Do you remember... What is wrong with people? Do you remember these shit for brains during the pandemic who would run into the grocery stores,

take the lid off the ice cream, lick it and then put it back? No. Do you remember that was going on? I'm glad I didn't know that. No, it was a whole thing going on for like, in 2020 for like a month. People were running into grocery stores,

they were licking fruit, they were licking ice cream, and they thought that it was funny for whatever reason they thought that it was funny. This to me should be prosecuted like attempted murder. Like, I mean, you know, this is insane that you would go and stick something in your butt, put it back on the shelf, and then unsuspecting somebody would come touch it or buy it, whatever. That is insane. I understand. What were the items? I'm just curious now. Were they salt and pepper shakers or were they? No, here, you can see the video right there.

Or was it something pointy and sharp? Yeah, that's what it was. It was like antiques. It was? Look, he's like picking up tiny little antiques, sticking them up. He's got a kilt on. That should be your first indication. It's so weird.

Look at that. Isn't that strange? That's very strange. I mean, obviously the guy has some kind of weird fetish, right? My tolerance for fetish extends only so far. When you're going into stores, sticking things in your ass and putting them back because you get your rocks off on that, then I think you definitely need some help. Well, that's hurting other people.

Of course it is. And that's where we draw the line. Of course it is. It's hurting other people. It's hurting yourself. And that's where we draw the line. Of course it is. It's hurting other people, it's hurting yourself. I just watched the doctor a couple of days ago. He said, whatever my name is, I'm an emergency room doctor. And no, you did not accidentally slip and fall and get that thing stuck in your ass.

Please be honest with us because we can only help you if you tell us exactly what happened. He's like, nothing accidentally goes in your ass. You don't slip and fall, you didn't back into a wall and get a painting in your ass, or whatever he said. He's like, I see so many people coming in this emergency room over the course of a year with things stuck in their anus. There are plenty of toys. Danielle Pletka Approved. Objects approved. Danielle Pletka Approved for anus use.

Yes, and that you can get out on your own. They can actually come back out. They have strings on them or whatever. They have large things. But he was explaining that many people come in with things stuck in their anus, but they won't tell the truth. They're like, I slipped and fell in the kitchen and I got a 75 inch dildo stuck in my ass or whatever it is. And he goes, please, please just be honest with us so that we can get to the bottom of it. Because if you continue to lie to us, then we don't know the best way to help you. If you say you slipped and fell, there may be different injuries that we need to pay attention to besides just this thing that's now stuck in your rectum. So, I get it. There is a, there is, it can get you off. But don't go into an antique store and do that, for God s sakes! No, that's just mean.

Yes! Go to Baskin Robbins, get those little spoons, you know, the little spoons they give you for the ice cream, and then go to your own house and do that. Do that thing. Pretend like you have your own antique shop. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because my goodwill extends for fetishes only so far. And sticking things in your ass and putting it back on the shelf is gross and disgusting. It's going to get everybody sick. This is how bird flu started. So I said it's hurting other people. Yes. It's gonna get everybody sick. This is how Bird Flu started.

Yes. It's how Bird Flu started. It's how Bird Flu started. Probably that guy. Sticking birds in your ass. Yeah. That dude. I wouldn't be surprised looking at him.

When I saw this story, it reminded me of the story that went around for a long time when we were kids about the gerbil in What's His Name's Ass. Richard Gere. Do you remember that? Yeah. Yeah. And I think it's been definitively proven to be, but that was way before social media.

And somehow that story, for those of you that weren't- It was like in the Inquirer or something, one of those tabloids. For those of you that weren't around back then, some story got started maybe from the Inquirer, who knows, that Richard Gere, a legendary coxsman, a very good looking dude who starred in movies back in the day. He was married to Cindy Crawford at the time too.

That there was some kind of sexual play that was going on and a live gerbil was involved in it and that gerbil went up his ass, then died, then he had to have surgery to have it removed. And I remember as like a third grader hearing this story and thinking to myself, wow, that's really weird that someone would want to stick a gerbil in their butt. I think that's how it spread because it was so outrageous. It was so outrageous, it had to be true, right?

Who would make that up? I mean, clearly, the National Enquirer, of course, but who would make that kind of shit up that you would stick a live gerbil in your pituitary? I mean, it just sounds weird. First of all, second of all, I don't think you could actually get a live gerbil in your butt. I mean, I don't know. Maybe this guy knows. Maybe the guy with the character. He would know.

Yeah, maybe you have to make like a gerbil house. You know, there's little gerbil tubes that the gerbils go through. Maybe you have to connect yourself to the gerbil tube and then just say, hey, come on in. I mean, I guess you could start there if you really wanted to try it. But this dude is wearing a kilt. The guy who had the antiques, he's wearing a kilt. If it's not like St. Patrick's Day or you're not in Scotland and you're just walking in somewhere with a kilt and sneaking around in the back of an antique store, I would be highly suspicious in the first place. I'd be like, why is that dude lifting his kilt in the back of an antique store. I would be highly suspicious in the first place. I'd be like,

why is that dude lifting his kilts in the back of our antique store? Let's go check that out. Of course, that's probably why they checked the video. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. And thank God they did. Thank God they did. Hopefully, they decontaminated that place too. I don't think they named the antique store, so I'm not going to name it here, but that's probably for the best because I don't know about you, but if they had named the antique store, I wouldn't go to that antique store. Because you usually do go to them. I've been known to antique.

I have been known to antique. I've never seen you antique. It's true. After now, I've been to a few antique stores. Now, I don't buy antiques, but I do like those mishmash, antique-y flea marketing type places. Yeah, they can be fun. There's one down in the island that we like to go to. It's huge. It's, you know, they got like, whatever, 75 different boots.

There's one here in Atlanta that comes every month. They used to be my client at the radio station. They're popular. And that place is cool. It's got a bunch of stuff. You can find a bunch of shit there. Absolutely find a bunch of shit there. Some people just get really into the antiquing though. Well, and with good reason. That's their hobby. With good reason. True.

Because you can literally find gold. Yeah, you can buy something there that could end up being worth tens of thousands of dollars, or maybe more. Or if you're into restoring things, you can buy something that looks broken down and restore it. Jared Sussman Do you think it's harder now to find gems, like to find treasure in the trash now than it was maybe 20 or 30 years ago because of the popularity of the shows where they, you know, like Pawn Stars and Antique Roadshow. Do you think it's like harder now that most, I would imagine, people who do sell antiques for a living or collect antiques

for a living to resale them, probably do a fair amount of investigation on everything that they get just to make sure they're not missing anything, like they don't give away something they think is trash for $10. Right. I would think so. I would think so too. I think a lot of it may be coming, any kind of fresh new finds might be coming from people's parents, or old, you know, family

members that had stuff in the attic. Jared Yeah, that's true. You know, like those estate sales, I've been to a few estate sales, I dated a girl who was like all into the estate sale thing. And so, like, you know, Friday afternoons or Saturday, whenever they're traditionally held, we would go to an estate sale. And I went to like three or four of them. Feels very strange to be walking through somebody else's house, clearly after someone has just passed away. It's like a fresh death.

You can smell death hanging in the air. And then you walk around their house and pick apart their shit. It feels very weird to me. It feels very intrusive. And I don't know that I'd want that happening to me, even though I'll be dead and it doesn't really matter, but I still don't know if I'd want the-

There's big business in that though. Oh yeah, there's companies that make hundreds of millions of dollars, I guess, just consignment, just selling that stuff off and getting a part of the commission. Exactly. Well, because a lot of times the family doesn't want to deal with it. They live far away or they're too distressed or it's too overwhelming. So you hire these people that come in and do it for you. And they take a cut.

Is that how it works? They take a cut of the sales? So like if I did one of these at my house, clearly there'd be no money in it, do they come in and they assess it first? Do they come into your house and go, oh, okay, I think we can make, I don't know, $100,000 selling this shit, we'll charge 10% or 20%. I don't know exactly how it works,

I'm sure they do come in and look. Can you find out for me? Can you find out for me? Can you find out for me? Yes. We'll put it in the notebook. Yes, if we can make some money, I might just jump out the window and then let Astrid have it. Well, the Pearl Jam poster is calling the consignment name.

Let me tell you a funny story about the Pearl Jam posters when we get back from this break. We'll be back. What? Oh, hi, it's Christina again, here to remind you to go to tcbpodcast.com for all things audio, video, and TCBdio. Give us a follow on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at tcbpodcast. And guess what? We have a new phone number. I know what you're thinking, but I promise this is the last TCB phone number you will ever have to remember!

So call us and leave us a voicemail or text us at 212-433-3TCB. Once more for the people in the back, that's 212-433-3TCB. Oh and check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com slash the commercial break. That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. I was just seeing how long I could go sticking something in your face without you noticing. I was literally going like this the entire time. You're the one who put on the TV. And I have to turn to look at it.

I'm paying attention to the news. There's newsy things to be paying attention to. All right. So, you know, I don't usually have the TV on while we're doing a recording, but this time there's a special. What did you say? I was showing you something and then you don't have to make commentary on it. I was just showing you something that I felt like was cool.

That is cool. Isn't that cool? All right. There we go. We'll see. We we go. We'll see if it happens. We'll see if it works out. I won't put it in the notebook. Okay, don't put it in the notebook. Right before I tell the story about the Pearl Jam posters,

I do want to remind you, Joe Dumbrowsky's going on tour this fall. We would love it if you would go to his website, buy tickets, some shows are available. Some shows will be available closer to the dates, but Joe is going on tour, and I highly recommend you go see him, because he's really fucking funny.

He really is, I can't wait to see his show. So it's no secret, and I don't think we have ever made it a secret, that the show, while is popular in some circles, and by circle I mean here in the half acre that I live on, on a show that's popular in some circles, it doesn't, you know, It hasn't been a multi-billion dollar success yet, we're hoping. It has been a multi-billion dollar success. So while we keep ourselves afloat during this, I thought, okay, let's get rid of the junk. I'm like, get rid of the junk and see if we can sell. And I shared that we were selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace

that we didn't need, we didn't want. So there's this group out there that I belong to, and it's a Facebook-related, merch-selling Facebook group. Now, I don't spend almost any time on Facebook, but when we were going through the house and decluttering and finding stuff that may or may not be of value or that we could give to the women's shelter or whatever it is, I started looking up at the wall and I'm like, you know what, Brian? You paid so much fucking money for those stupid Pearl Jam posters. Somebody else has got to be willing to pay something related to that too.

So I got these Pearl Jam posters a number of years ago. And when I got them for my birthday one year, I just had them sitting in the corner figuring I'd do something with them eventually, like rolled up in the original box, the original tube that they came in. And Astrid delightfully went and got six of them framed, seven of them framed, beautifully framed, black mat, the whole nine yards, beautifully framed. And then we hung them on the walls here in the studio, because it's the one place Astrid knows no other, no visiting guest will go to, so she doesn't have to be embarrassed by my Pearl Jam poster. That was sweet. They look great. That was very sweet of her. They do. And so I said, you know what, let me go on that one

Facebook community that I know about and let's see if I can sell a few of the ones that are not- See what they're worth. Yeah, just see what they're worth. See if I can sell them. And it's like an auction style Facebook group. You put, you list it for sale, they call it popcorn bidding, which means you say, hey, at 9pm Tuesday, this auction ends, and then everybody starts bidding, and you say it's at 9pm it ends. So, usually at 8.50, there's a flurry of activity. Okay. And you basically, you comment, you make a comment and that's your bid, and then there

you go. But if someone makes a bid in the last five minutes, you have to extend it by another five minutes, right? And then another five minutes and then another five minutes and it goes on and on and on until it just stops and then someone wins, right? Until everybody says, no, no more, I'm not paying $6,000 for your Pearl Jam poster that was in your dog's shitty studio, right? So, okay. So I said, okay, let me start with one that I think has some value to it. The framing alone was like $200 per, because to get things professionally framed is not

cheap. No. And so I said, okay, let me start the bidding at $250. $200 for the framing, $50 for the poster, even though I think it's worth a lot more than that, I want to make it attractive for people to jump in here. So I put one on there and I'm like, okay. And this says, waiting for administrator to approve your post. And I thought, okay, just a formality.

I've been a part of this group for like six years now, just a formality. I've never actually said anything in the group, but you know, I'm a esteemed member of the Pearl Jam auction site. Let me get on that. Esteemed member. As if Eddie Vedder is my best friend, you know? I'm an esteemed member of this group. Let me go in there.

So I put it up, waiting for the admin, and then I keep checking, I keep checking nothing, I keep checking, I keep checking nothing. And I put it down for a couple of days and I come back and it says, the admin has disapproved, declined to make this post. See the reasons why here. Nicole Soule What was the reason? Jared Suellentrop So I look at the reason and one of the rules of the group is you can put any price you want the auction to start at, but don't be unreasonable. And the admins have the right to decline. Like you can't put a Pearl Jam pin from their most

recent concert on there for $6,000, right? It just doesn't make any sense. And you're just wasting space, essentially. No one's going to bid on it. Everyone's going to laugh at you the whole nine yards. But otherwise a very friendly group. I've seen some of these auctions go down and I'm like, oh, I actually bought a couple of these posters on a very similar auction site. So I'm like, what? Unreasonable price? What? That's not unreasonable.

So now I'm arguing with the admin. I'm like, hey, dude, or whoever, listen, I paid 200 for the framing and I'm just, you know, starting off at 50 for the, for the poster, whatever. And the guy responds to me and he goes, okay, bro, but you want somebody else to pay for your framing? And I go pay for my framing. If they win, then it's their framing. What are you fucking talking about? Yeah, it's a framed poster. It's all in one now. So now he's just responding with this, you know, can't put an unreasonable price, can't put an unreasonable price, can't put an unreasonable price. And I'm really angry about this. And

I'm like, I keep going back to him, like, it's not an unreasonable price. I show him examples of another Pearl Jam site, where they're selling the same poster for like, you know, somebody bid $350 on it. It's not a ton of money, but it's something, right? And I'm like, yeah, that plus the framing is $550. What's so unreasonable about what I'm asking? Less than half of that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm going back and forth. I'm getting heated up. My head's getting red. I'm pacing around the house. Now I'm sure that I'm going to, and now it's, now I'm not going to take less than a thousand dollars. Now I got Dick Tracy collection all over again. It's worth a million. I'm so angry. I'm just like steaming and pacing

and steaming and pacing and steaming and pacing. Until I realized, Chrissy, that the group that I have posted in has six members in it. Six members. It's been so long since I've been on Facebook, I did not remember the right group. So, I tried to post it to a group that had six members of it. Six. A thriving group. A thriving community of auction related world trade materials that some jackass and his uncle started. Obviously no one decided to join the group

because this guy's an asshole. Right. That's what it is. Exactly. Right? Here he thought he, then the reason why he wanted me to lower the price is because he wanted someone in the group because this guy's an asshole. That's what it is. Exactly. Right? Here, he thought he, then the reason why he wanted me to lower the price is because he wanted someone in the group to bid on it. I don't think he makes money on it. I think he's just being a, you know,

he has this bully pulpit. He's doing whatever he does. But man, was I so fluffed up about this. And then I'm like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna report this group. Let me look into this group. Because the group that I bought these posters from, there's like 15,000 members in it. So I was thinking to myself,

well, someone out of the 15,000 will pay at least $250 for this. But then I look and it says, you know, six members, plus you, seven altogether. And I thought to myself, how many Pearl Jam related merch Facebook groups did I join? Yeah, right.

How many did I join back in 2018? I mean, I belong to like six of them and I'm trying to bid on the one that has six members. It pissed me off. So then I go and I'm like, okay, I cool down, I chill out, I don't get all fluffed up about it. I mean, I did get fluffed up about it. I defluff, defluff, I go to the actual- Rev down. Yeah, rev down. I go to the actual group with many, many, many members, thousands of, tens of thousands of members.

And I put the same poster and I put it for a little bit of a lower price. And I'm like, okay, got it, done. I read all the rules. I'm sure I'm within guidelines here. I know how to post this. You know, it's like a big deal to me. You know, I'm making my first foray into the group. I want to make my best foot forward

in front of tens of thousands of people. Admin waiting to approve your post. Okay. You know, I'm a little bit nervous that we're going to have a repeat, but you know, I read the rules this time. And so I say, you know, auction ends 3pm on Monday, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Come back, nothing. Come blah, blah. Come back, nothing. Come back, nothing. Come back, nothing. Day later, come back, nothing. Okay, now the auction's gonna end Monday at 3pm

and it's like Sunday at 2pm. I'm like, there's no time for anybody to bid. What am I gonna do? I didn't even been approved yet. And then it says, your post has been denied by the ad. And I'm like, what in the good fuck did I do this time? What's wrong now? What is it now? Look at your reasons. Well, it clearly states in the rules that all auctions must end at 9 PM Eastern Standard Time, but I put 3 PM. Why? I don't know. I

read the rules. I don't know why I put it. I just did. I just thought I was better than everyone else. And I guess I could do mine at 3pm. I'm going to stand out in the crowd. Mine ends at 3. Hurry, get your vids in. Hurry. Only one hour left. I posted it at, you know, 2.57. It's at 3. Pay me now. Payment must be made before 3.05pm. Oh my God. So I got denied because of the timing and then I just threw my hands in yeah hey I'm just gonna keep the Pearl Jam posters. I'm too embarrassed. They made something to you and that's the value. They do mean

nothing to me but I mean at the end of the day like there are so many more things in life that mean much more to me but I do like them I don't know I just have some connection with them. I don't know why. Oh, I totally get that. I'd either been to the show or heard about the show. You've seen our house. I mean, we've got framed stuff all over the place from shows. Yeah. I was going to start calling you and asking you if I could sell your stuff on the Facebook marketplace too. I was just curious.

No. Hey, Chrissy, I know you got a lot of stuff in that house. You probably don't need most of it. Ask Jeff what he doesn't want. Tell him to send it on over here. I'll be happy to meet them at the local PD station at the exchange. I probably do have posters. At the live sperm donation exchange. Yeah, exactly.

Oh my God, I got the craziest Instagram messages from someone about, well- The sperm donation? The live sperm donation. The live sperm donation. But I'm gonna save it for the next episode. Oh yeah. Okay. So now that's two Instagram related messages.

I've gotten about 90 day fiance and a close connection to 90 day fiance. So there you go Okay. All right more information to come on the live sperm donation thing. We did get a text message It is related to 90 day fiance. Somebody knows that dude. Oh somebody knows that dude Yeah, has had interactions with that dude. You have to wait till tomorrow to check it out, but I will talk more about it Now I'm excited. Yeah, I gotta just figure out a way to tailor
