Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, Marisha didn't always look incredible to me. I mean, like some of these dudes Instagram anniversary posts, my god. You're the strongest woman I've ever known. What did you do to her, Kyle? On this episode of the commercial break, On this episode of the commercial break. How come in the entire history of our planet has not one person walked off the edge of the earth mark? How come not one person has walked off the flat edge and fall into their death?
Starting point is 00:00:38 And he said he genuinely said, oh yeah there's an ice barrier so it catches them. Oh, it's like, barrier, so it catches them. Oh, really? Since now. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Ah, yeah, kids, again. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Ryan Green. This is the bad-ass bitch, boss. Christy Joy, hoodly, best of you, Chrissy. Best of you, Ryan. Best to you, Brian. Best to you, I bet.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I'm not gonna get it over. I never know, it's gonna be. You never know, my head's always turned in the shower at night. When I'm masturbating, well, I'm currently on the sideline for masturbating, but you know, it's not I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about what nasty words can I call you. But I thought badass bitch boss was cool.
Starting point is 00:01:21 So I said, badass bitch boss. Oh, I can. Because it's true. It's all the girls that are running in this place. Don't let me fool you. I do all the talking, but the real success of this show is with the crew of Halloween. Yeah, all the other people that are working on my behalf.
Starting point is 00:01:36 So thank you. Thank you. Best of you, Chrissy. Best of you. Uh, when I say best comedy movie of all time, what is your go to? Just think of one. You don't have to pontificate about it.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Just give me the first thing that comes on top of your head. Do you have one of your favorite movies to watch comedy? Well, I mean, I think that animal house is always up there with me. All right. Yeah, but as far as, I mean, we're in the Christmas season right now and love that, I love that. Vacation.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Well I do love vacation and that one has quite a few memorable moments. Oh my God, so funny. What's the South Rogan one, the last? Oh, the last night before Christmas. Last, the little night before? Night before. Yeah, night before. It's pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Oh, it is pretty fun. Mainly because they are just torn up. I mean, the amount of drug use that goes on in that movie is incredible. You know, Harold and Kumar's like Christmas. The White Castle. The White Castle Christmas or that Christmas movie with, um, uh, who's Neil Patrick Harris is really fucking funny too. And I always think of those two movies because they have, I don't know, they have similar
Starting point is 00:02:42 senses of humor. But what I think of when someone says best comedy movie of all time, certainly best mock umentary of all time is spinal tap. Oh, of course. Spinal tap is brilliant. Yes. And if you haven't seen spinal tap, I don't know who the fuck you are. Don't, don't.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Those Christopher Gasp movies in general. All of them. Really. Waiting for Guffman. Best in show. That's really funny. Yeah, all of them, they're all funny. But the single funniest line, in my opinion,
Starting point is 00:03:08 that I laugh at so hard every time, is in the movie Spinal Tap. When they're standing outside of that little arena in the kids area, and it says, you know, clown show tonight, right? And or whatever it says about the kids, it's on the marquee. It says clown show tonight. And then spinal tap on the bottom.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And he says, I'll tell them every time it's spinal tap, then clown show, spinal tap, then clown show. What are we going to do now? We're opening up. And the one guy goes, what we could do jazz Odyssey. He's like, we're not going to do a free form jazz exploration in front of a bunch of fucking children. I just can't get over it.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Sometimes I'll say that. Astrid or whoever, when we're having some kind of debate or argument and I'm like, we can't do a freeform jazz expiration in front of the children. I love it. It's so funny amongst all the other million other one-liners in that brilliant, brilliant movie.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Well, I never wanted there to be a spinal tap too because I thought spinal tap one did the trick, but 35 years later, they're going in for spinal tap to with all of the original cast members, well, the original four cast members, the crew. I think including Rob Reiner, I think Rob Reiner is going to direct it. They're all back. They're all going to put gear up in their leather. What was that? What was that to spank the glove? Yeah, we have spinal tap action figures. You do?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Jeff did. Oh my god. You know what to give me for Christmas. Spinal tap action figures. And I want Jeff's actually. So if you can take them off and just one leg keeps coming off. I have to keep gluing. What if you just take it apart piece by piece and you bring it to my house for Christmas? And then we'll see if Jeff notices.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Yeah, we'll shank it. That's your final tap is going, that's right, shank it. Spinal tap too is in pre-production right now. I don't know what to think about this, because you know that Bob Iger, he's running that Disney right now and Disney has all kinds of troubles financially
Starting point is 00:05:02 and problems with the parks and all this other stuff. They're having a moment over there at Disney, the Disney Corporation. But he said in like a shareholders meeting, which I thought was pretty smart of him, but then also he should have thought about this 10 years ago, he's like, I think we may have IPed it to death. Meaning they have so many number two's, number three's,
Starting point is 00:05:22 number four's, Star Wars this, Star Wars that, galactic galaxy this, Marvel marvel that all this other stuff They have basically buried their IP in so many sequels prequels and tree quills or whatever the fuck they call them that now They just robbed all the joy out of it right? I watched Star Wars as a kid and I just loved that my mind could go to crazy places thinking about what was going on outside of the movie. Well, now I don't need to worry about that because there is literally a movie for every question I ever had about Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Oh, no, about like every character and then it's before and it's after. Yeah. I know, I know, I'm the same way. It's like we ask Felicia, like, you know, what do you think about fanfic, right? And fanfic has often become some kind of lure, some thread that they
Starting point is 00:06:05 pull on, that then becomes a movie or a television series to answer the questions left by the original material. Well, I got news for you. You don't need to answer every fucking, I find that to be a little bit too much sometimes, certainly with the Star Wars. And then I worry about it with like spinal tap too. Can you ever really be better than the first one, especially 35 years later? Maybe, maybe, because Christopher Guest is so fucking funny. So maybe they can be. I'm gonna watch it. Oh, no doubt, I'll be the first one in line.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And you kid me, I'm like a 13 year old boy. I can't wait for spinal tap two to come out, but I'm a little bit concerned about the quality of spinal tap two. I hope, I hope. Elton John's already signed up to be in it. Who else did they say? Elton John's Sir Paul McCartney is gonna be in it. So I would be in it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Hey, if you need, here's a plot line for you. Spinal tap is on the way down. They're on the outs. They're getting back together 35 years reunion tour, but no one really knows or gives a fuck about spinal tap. I'm imagining this is how it starts, right? This is my, in my head, this is what they're writing right now. If you need, since podcasting is so ubiquitously like terrible and wonderful at the same time,
Starting point is 00:07:14 everybody hates them and loves them at the same time, and so many podcasts are out there, if you need like a thread to pull inside of that storyline, Spinal Tap announces their new tour on the commercial break. And no one hears about it. How about that? So Rob, Christopher, I'm talking right to you. If you need a place to announce that spinal tap is going back on tour in your mockumentary
Starting point is 00:07:38 to non-announce to non-announce to announce to nobody that you're coming back. It will be the truth if you do come to the commercial break. So you won't be lying. It'll be your documentary moment of truth. You know what I'm saying? I'm hoping. Let's start a petition to get spinal tap to the commercial break.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Spinal tap reunion tour commercial break. Although I think they've already done a reunion tour. Didn't they go out on tour at one point? Like maybe like 10 years ago. Maybe. Yeah, they got the actual band together and they like went out there and did shows as spinal tap. I would love it.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I'd absolutely love it. And listen, there have been a few sequels, a few in movie history that have turned out okay, like Empire Strikes Back. Sure. Some people think that's the best Star Wars movie out there, not that I would know. I'm not that into it. Some people think that's the best Star Wars movie out there, not that I would know. I'm not thinking that. I'm not thinking too. Gremlins II was good.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Rambo Part Seven was good. I thought. Predator. Predator Seven was awesome. Starring Old Steven Segal. Steven Segal's ridiculous, by the way. I just got to tell you that. I don't want to fuck with him.
Starting point is 00:08:42 So I'm not going to talk too much shit, but he's ridiculous. Uh, Godfather Part Two, of course. Well, that was a real, yeah. I think that's a clear example of the best of the set, even though it was number two. You know, what other movies? My little ponies, too, was awesome.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Or Trolls Two was good. I gotta say that, the kids movie Trolls Two. Trolls Two. Not the Trolls scary movie that we have often made fun of here. Yeah. Commercial break. But trolls the actual cartoon. I thought it was good. That my kids went and saw that trolls band together when the in sync gets back together and does the song and the whole nine yards. Yeah. And the kids are running through the house singing that song. Because I thought this song is not so good. Like, you know,, for 15 years away from each other
Starting point is 00:09:25 to come back to do a song for the trolls movie and they're all voicing some character in the movie. Like, I get it, seems exciting. I think it could have been a good way to like reintroduce yourself into the world and we're gonna go on tour, we do this a whole lot. You know the reunion tour for InSync is coming. I realize Justin Timberlake is a bit out of style right now
Starting point is 00:09:42 and a lot of people are at this throat, but I gotta be honest. You think he would join the tour? Yeah, and I'll tell you what, even though he's going on his own tour next year, it's not gonna happen next year. I was reading about this because you know, I'm keeping up on all the in sync actions.
Starting point is 00:09:58 But he's going on tour. I think next year, he's dropping an album going on tour. So I don't think he's going to be part of that reunion if it happens next year is dropping an album going on tour. So I don't think he's going to be part of that reunion if it happens next year. But there is no in-sync tour without just reunion tour, without Justin Timberlake. How are they gonna sell out those big arenas? But if they do get back together,
Starting point is 00:10:16 when they do back gig it back together, because you know they are, Justin is going along for the ride. There's probably a billion dollars worth of money to be had left on the table selling out those arenas, don't you think? Maybe. Did you like and sink? I don't even know one of their songs. I'm kind of embarrassed. Oh, bye bye bye. Is that the one? Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye. Am I gonna give you a straight voice? Is that factory voice? They were around the same time.
Starting point is 00:10:40 They were, they were definitely around the same time. Yeah. I think they were both coming up under the Pearlman. Oh, God. Anybody named Lou Pearlman who's bound to be a creep fall. Oh, dude, he was crazy. But in sync is when they go on reunion tour, they're getting Justin to be with him. And I'll say, I've said to myself, and can happen with this trolls movie. Like, I mean, that's not the thing that, and then I got these kids running around here singing this new and sink movie. So maybe they're reaching a whole new generation of fans. They're being smart about it. They got the older fans. They got the T.N. ageers with the kids and the kids original fans and then the fans had kids. That's how you do it. That's how you get Taylor Swift famous. And I don't think everybody's going
Starting point is 00:11:22 to be Taylor Swift famous. Let's just be honest about it. She's time is woman of the year. It's unbelievable. Person of the year. Person. Who else would it be? I know. Honestly, who else would it be? Who has occupied more of our brain space?
Starting point is 00:11:36 And quite frankly, more of the commercial break can't Taylor Swift as Frankie B. Maybe. I mean, everybody's talking about that girl 24 hours a day, seven days a week. She got the best PR firm in the world. She's a badass bitch out there making a bunch of money, making everybody happy or making most people happy. If they can afford to go to her $10,000 concert.
Starting point is 00:11:54 But the point is, of course it's Taylor Swift. Who else would it be? There is no one else comparable. But if there was to be another person who was time's person of the year, you know what I mean? Blair Saki, Blair Saki, the comedian, is coming on our show today and I'm very excited. I watched her special last night.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I had a ton of fun watching. It's on Veebs by the way. There's a link in the show notes. So I highly recommend that you go. It beeps as the new live nation, right? Yeah, live nation, like they do live shows. And then they record them. They started a comedy channel.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yeah. And it is brilliant. It looks like Apple TV. It really does. It looks like Apple TV when you're watching it. Live nation, of course, you know, I'm not going to do anything cheap, I guess, because they've made, because the reason why the Taylor Swift's $10,000 tickets were so expensive is because of live nation. But that's a different story for a different day. Weeps is their new platform.
Starting point is 00:12:50 They've been doing music for a while. Now they've got comedy on there. And Blair's one of the first to do a comedy special on there. And we're super happy to have her here today. So why don't we do this? Let's take a little break. And then let's get with Blair, so we can have a conversation. You're going to love this girl. Blair Saki on the way after this. What? Commercial Brake. Yeah, I did it.

Blair, so nice to meet you. So nice to meet you guys. This is a thrill.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Thank you so much for having me on. You're welcome. Thank you for joining. I have one question. It's very important for Chrissy and I don't understand this. You have an angle on something that we've been trying to get into for a long time. And it seems like you've had some success and I want you to tell me how you did this. Chrissy and I have been trying to sell get into for a long time. And it seems like you've had some success, and I want you to tell me how you did this. Chrissy and I have been trying to sell feed pictures
Starting point is 00:16:07 for a long time. We talked about it for a long time. Like, should we just try it? I actually started a foot finder account, like feed finder or whatever. And I did. Yeah, but I think my hairy toes weren't anybody's particular go to foot fixtures.
Starting point is 00:16:23 No matter what I smash. You'd be surprised. There's so many freaks out there. I honestly had no idea. How did you put feed on your Instagram? You talk about it in your special, which is on Veebs right now. Very funny. I watched it last night and I had a couple stitches in my side. How exactly did you get wrapped up in this foot thing? Explain to me how your Twitter left it some kind of weird foot thing. Yeah, well, I mean, I talk about it at length in the special, so go watch that. But, you know, it was just started as a joke. And I say this in there, but like, I had no idea the foot thing was real.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I just, no, I just tweeted out one day, because I just treat my Twitter as something very non-precious silly. And I tweeted out, I said, on OnlyFans, is anyone know, can you just do Feeder? Do you have to show whole? And I just walked away. I didn't think anything of it. And I came back and it had like thousands and thousands and thousands
Starting point is 00:17:27 free. Wow. Wow. And I was like, I really was so perplexed what's going on here. And then I read the replies and I was like, oh, this is a real thing that I was just joking about. And so yeah, I started in only fans within 45 minutes. And I tied the Blair flare socky ankles down no
Starting point is 00:17:48 hole. So that everybody would know. But then, you know, I had to take it down after 24 hours because my agents found out about it because it was all I was, you know, pushing it all over my socials having a great time. And they were like, yeah, this is great except for you know, you auditioned for Disney a lot. So I was only, I had it for 24 hours. Only my dreams were crushed. And has, has Iger called you yet to explain to you why he's not hiring you in the next version
Starting point is 00:18:20 of Star Wars, whatever they're doing now. I have not gotten the call. I do think that that's probably, you know, that they never found out about it. But I do mention this to my agents regularly. I said, okay, you know, my foot career was really stopped than its tracks and its infancy. So you better pay up with the Disney jobs.
Starting point is 00:18:43 That's right. And did you, like my genuine curiosity is, did you actually make money on only fans when 25 hours of only fans or whatever it was? Did you actually, like, I did. Holy shit. Brian, we got to do this all wrong. Because we got to.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Well, if you already have a little following, and then I just, you know, cheated out these privy men and they were like, they subscribed. My, my, my, remember my manager being like, I'll pay you all the money that you made to take it down. I said, oh my God. You said, oh my God, send me the check. That's what I would have done.
Starting point is 00:19:21 I didn't take the money because I'm too prideful I should have though. Did you grow up the money because I'm too prideful I should have though. Did you grow up? Where'd you grow up, Southern California? Yes, how could you tell? I grew up in Orange County, little surf kid, you know, did you enjoy growing up out in Southern California? Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 00:19:42 I'm the youngest only girl of all boys, and my whole life was just hardcore sports growing up. And then I took a dramatic turn into the arts. What, how many brothers did you have? I have two older brothers 11 months apart, but I grew up in this neighborhood of 13 families with boys is the exact same age as my brother. So it was this bizarre mob that I lived with with nobody else around by age.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah. And when you were a little kid, you just ran around with all boys in the neighborhood playing sports. Yeah, I was like moglie. And know, like I and I I want it I genuinely wanted to my family still talks about this all the time like when I was a child I always said I want to be the first woman in the NFL. Oh nice Honestly, not all dreams do get to come true, but that was what I wanted I like that aspiration, but listen, you're auditioning for Disney, so maybe dreams do come true, as they say. Yeah. Maybe I'll be Rudy in the next reboot or something. Oh, such a wonderful movie.
Starting point is 00:20:55 But how do you take a turn into the arts? Like if you're sports oriented, what happens that turns you on to comedy? Well, in Orange County, and I, you know, just everything, it was just so hardcore. The sports from such a young age. And, you know, I did love it. I did go on to play Division One volleyball at UCLA. I was at training with like the junior national team and all this stuff. But when I was a kid, I always loved like I would audition
Starting point is 00:21:25 for the plays at school and I would get parts, but I wouldn't be able to do it because of my score schedule. And I was always a book nerd. And then I ultimately decided I wanted to be a writer. And I went to grad school to be a novelist. And while I was there like accidentally started comedy without ever like thinking it was going to be a novelist, and while I was there accidentally started comedy without ever thinking it was gonna be my career. So you just got up on stage, did you go to open mics and just decided you were gonna get up and start writing some jokes?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Well, as the tale is all this time, I started dating a guy who was starting comedy from my hometown. And he showed me comedy. I had never been exposed to really any comedy. No like, specials, no shows, nothing. And then I just became a fan. And then we broke up.
Starting point is 00:22:17 And then like one day in the shower, I had this thought, oh, I should do this. And then I started like, you know, a week later or something. I'm so lazy. You're so brave. I'm so lazy. What am I doing with my life over here? I always think about stand-up comedians who I have a great admiration for, no matter how
Starting point is 00:22:39 wonderful or terrible or growing or not growing or whatever. I have an admiration for that 15 feet that you walk from the side of the stage to the front of the stage or from the back of the club to the front of the club. Whatever it is, that 15 feet would kill me. I don't know if my knees would let me get up there. And isn't that, does that feel particularly unnerving to you? Like the first 100 times you do that,
Starting point is 00:23:00 you still get that kind of like, take your breath away feeling before you walk on stage. You know what? My legs shook for about the first eight months and people that were there at those first open mics, like literally remember my legs shaking while I was on stage. And I really don't know why I continued doing it.
Starting point is 00:23:21 That was happening. I really don't understand the whole thing or how it happened or what. But that's nice that you admire standup comedians. You know, I feel a lot of the feedback on the internet is it's bizarre. But I think here, if I may, right, mansplain to you for a second.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I feel like part of the issue is, because I love mansplaining here on the show. It endears me to, our mostly female audience. I feel like in a lot of your material, you talk about reading comments, looking on the internet and being on the socials, you gotta fucking ignore those comments.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Man, the people go fucking bananas there. They're so mean. People are so mean on the internet. They're so mean on social media. Because they're behind a screen. Yeah, that's true. They're probably also 13 year old boys. So I know I find that bizarre and I actually talk about this in therapy. It's, you know, it's funny is that like I get very few mean comments like so few. That's right. But you know, like typical comedian you like remember the mean ones.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Thankfully, and like I don't even want to put this out there, the sick thing is like when I, most of them are all about my voice, you know? Yeah. And then when I read those, my sick, sick, poisoned brain from childhood goes, ah, at least they didn't call me ugly, you know. I'm not so win. This isn't that sick. It's so true. I at least they didn't call me ugly. You know, I got to win. Isn't that sick?
Starting point is 00:24:48 It's so true. So when Chris and I started the show, we had, you know, no listeners for the longest time. I'm not sure we haven't each currently, but somebody tells us we do. But we get these comments in 99.9% of them are just lovely. People are good for the show. You're so funny. We love you. You wake us up and whatever it is, right?
Starting point is 00:25:06 But it's that one asshole every week or two that leaves that comment where you can't shake it out of your head. Even though you read 100 nice comments, the one bad comment always sticks with you. But you're right about something. I even try and find like good in that. Well, I did too. At least they're listening.
Starting point is 00:25:24 At least they're listening. At least they're listening. That's true. Yeah, you know what another thing about it is to me? I think that it's less about even what they're saying and more like I cannot ever fathom going on someone's page and saying something mean to them. So it's really just a non-acceptance of the act versus actually the material of what they're saying. I've said the same thing. I'm like the fact that
Starting point is 00:25:52 they actually took the time to go on there and write something bad is amazing to me. Yeah. I'm like, why would you want to hurt intentionally hurt someone? Because I don't understand this thing. Well, I don't understand this. Well, that's true. Her people hurt people hurt people. I think someone said that one time. Yeah. And I honestly also believe that it is a large amount of probably younger people that are just have too much
Starting point is 00:26:17 fucking time in their hands. They don't know how to regulate quite yet. So they feel like if I can say something nasty than the whole world will know how bad they are. And yeah, so I just ignore, well, that's not true. I read the comments, but I try. I try so hard not to read any, you know, and now I did see this one creator,
Starting point is 00:26:36 something on TikTok, because TikTok is the social media that I enjoy. I love it, I mean, I got the dogs, the babies, the chiropractor is on there. The chiropractor. I can eat it, I love it. I love it. I mean, I got the dogs, the babies, the chiropractor. The chiropractor. I love it. I love it. And it's so non-toxic to me. Like, my feet is so wholesome. So I just, oh, and the recipes. I'm watching these women with their French music and their gorgeous kitchens, with their Dutch ovens. You know, they're cutting the garlic in the most gorgeous ways. But I did see with this one creator that said,
Starting point is 00:27:06 yeah, we just respond, thank you to every single comment. Smart. Like even the meanest comments and it just drives the algorithm and I'm thinking, that's a beautiful sentiment. However, I do not want to be spending that much time online, but I respect that they're just like, oh, I will not take any of this personally and I will use it.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I got to talk to my therapist about that. I feel like I need a couple more therapy sessions around the comments. Actually, because it does hurt. And I couldn't sit there all day and say thank you because I just don't want to go through the act of reading all of it. Maybe that's why we're our social media does so quickly, poorly. So you have this new Veepe special.
Starting point is 00:27:46 And like I said, I went and purchased it last night. It is so very good. How long does it take you to write an hour of that material? How long have you been banking this around? Well, you know what? I've been doing comedy for 10 years and they say that your first hour special usually takes 10 years because there's
Starting point is 00:28:05 so much material that was not included, you know, in that. I can see that. That's over the years. So it's really like the most polished stuff, your best stuff. And there was a lot I didn't include, you know, there's things that I could have included that I had on in, you know, like my late night set with James Corridan or Comedy Central sets that were taped. I really was so intentional about what I put in there. But yeah, I think most people, they're best.
Starting point is 00:28:35 It's the best stuff after about 10 years. That's why the debut special is such a big deal. And then everyone says that it takes way less long to write the material for the next special because you're just a much better writer and you're, you know, much more skilled. Yeah, and it's in demand. You're under your under a little bit of pressure. And you're under a flow. Yeah, you're under a flow too. The flow that's right, Chris, you were in the flow. Yeah, you know yourself better. You are a more lived in person and probably more true to your authenticity and voice at this point.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Chris, I feel like this is coming right around the corner for us. We're in our 62,000 episodes, by the way. So I feel like this is coming right around. No, I'm kidding. It feels like that. It feels like we've been here forever. Stuck. I have to ask you about this because Chrisissy and I have done a couple of episodes
Starting point is 00:29:26 on this Yahoo Mark Sargent who runs around doing the flat earth thing, you know, what's up. And while I would love to have them on the show, I don't know that I could stomach anything that he says because it's just ridiculousness. And Chrissy and I had this theory that Mark Sargent only believes in flat earth because he can find women there at these flat earth conventions. Yes. He seems way too smart to believe in this shit, right? And but he's kind of a nidnic. How did you, how did you meet Mark Sargent?
Starting point is 00:29:56 I don't know what circumstances are you around, Mark Sargent. Sure. I mean, what a bizarre thing. So I was co-host of the Trevor Moore Show on Comedy Central, Rest in Peace, Trevor, my dear friend who passed away two years ago, incredible comedian. But the show was basically around Trevor loved like the weirdest stuff, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:19 just the fringes of society. So we had on the most bizarre people to interview. And we had him on. And he was really like, you could go watch the episode if you want. It's online on Comedy Central called the Trevor Moore show. But basically, I, you know, my role on the show was sort of like the Needleer, the little like sideid kind of like needle bully kind of. You were the sweetie for that. I don't know how, because I'm really not of the bully type.
Starting point is 00:30:50 But that was my role in the show. And I was kind of pushing back with him a lot of what he was saying. And that was true. He said to me that like you're too young to understand like why the earth is flat. Oh my God. I was just like, I do not believe that that was his
Starting point is 00:31:08 face back. That's what it says. Yeah. I didn't know that. And I was like, I was like, oh, thank you. I'm like, you know, I really appreciate that. And you know what, it's funny that you bring up the women because he did talk about the merch that he sells
Starting point is 00:31:27 for an inordinate amount of time during the interview. And that's like, you're just like, okay, wow, what an incredible spiritually led cause. He's doing it for all of the right reasons. And Chrissy and I picked up on this immediately, even four years ago, when we started the show, we picked up on this immediately. He was talking about girls and how he was meeting girls or meet me after the show or whatever, on stage in videoed YouTube episodes
Starting point is 00:31:53 that he posted himself, the merch, the conferences, pay 1999 a month. And I was like, this guy knows fucking better. He must know better. He is clearly just doing this for money. But yeah, it's a persona. But I get the sense that there's a lot of people out there right now that know better about whatever they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:32:11 They just know the money is in talking about the bullshit, right? So that's exactly what they do. And I believe that Mark is one of those people, but how condescending, you're too young. What he probably meant to say was you're too dumb to understand this. And there's nothing to understand.
Starting point is 00:32:25 The world is round. We've been in the airplane. We can see it. Yeah, if you have satellite photography, I said that to him. I said, a mark. A mark. Have you heard about a little thing
Starting point is 00:32:37 called satellite photography? Cause we have some factual record that disputes your theory. Yes, astronauts. But Mark has no reportural faith. Well, what he says is that big space, you know, the big and astral corporation is here to keep us all under control.
Starting point is 00:32:57 It just, when people are presented with factual evidence and they believe in this hokey-poky bullshit, they go anywhere to twist and wind away from the question that you're asking them because they know they don't have any really good response. I say you're doing good work. You're not needling or bullying Mark in my opinion. You're just telling the truth. You're just trying to do the honest one.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Yeah, I mean, I say this in the special, but his answer, he genuinely said, because I asked him, I was like, okay Mark, how come in the entire history of our planet has not one person walked off the edge of the earth Mark? How come not one person has walked off the flat edge and fall into their death? And he said, he genuinely said, oh yeah, there's an ice barrier, so it catches them. Oh, that was like,
Starting point is 00:33:46 oh, that was like, oh, that was like, oh, that's so cute. Oh, okay, good. Yeah, right, right. We've all came together in that moment. I had been around Earth guy until Mark said, the ice wall, and I said, oh, now it all makes sense. That's what we've all been up against.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yes, but I understood. Yeah. How did you, when, did your family, are they supportive of the comedy, It all makes sense. That's what we've all been up against. Yes, but I understood. Yeah. How did you, when, does your family, are they supportive of the comedy? Are they supportive of, of your artistic side, so to speak, even though they were big supporters? Very interesting question that you raised. Thank you. Well, I can tell you they did not like it.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah, and it was actually my parents first time ever seeing me perform was at my special tapering. You were kidding me. Wow, they came right up. I'm not finally. I mean, my brothers had seen me over the years and of course I started in New York and lived there for about half of my career.
Starting point is 00:34:44 So, you know, they wouldn't have seen me there. But it's not what they wanted. They dreamed of me just being married and pregnant young next door to them. And I'm very family oriented too. And as I age, I understand where they're coming from. And yeah, they were like, why do you want such a hard life? And I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I can't really answer that for you. You're Italian too, right? Which is very family focused. I'm part Italian as well. It is. It's a big deal to be around family and have big gatherings and cook lots of food and just, you know, all be around each other. So I can see that. Yeah, I go home on Sundays a lot and we cook all day. Sunday dinner, I come back up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Yeah. So is this literally like a push and pull through most of the 10 years that you've been doing? This is like pushing pull between you and your parents. Hey, I want to do this and hey, you should go get a real job or find a real job. It's what we've done with our spouses. Yeah, by the way, we go through this all the time. Yeah, real job. No, I think it's about to work. Everything's going to have popped for us. Yeah, you know, I can't say it was easy. It was very painful at so many times, but like they were so proud at my special. My dad had tears in his eyes, which I can't even explain what that was like after this 10-year thing. It took a lot of forgiveness. It was hard because this thing I felt so passionate about.
Starting point is 00:36:23 It was hard to understand why like, why they wouldn't, I can't imagine not wanting to see my kid, but also it's, you know, it's generational. It is. And it's a different generation. And now I think everything's all good that they saw the special and they're like, okay, I guess it's like legit. But you know, it is hard.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Like, all the times I had been on TV in my career and they were still like, wow. You were on fucking James Corden and they didn't tune in. I wanna tell you something, little something. And when we started this, my father had never said, I loved you, I'm proud of you. He just wasn't that kind of daddy. He grew up in a different generation. I kind of thought maybe he did,
Starting point is 00:37:06 but he wasn't giving me any outward indication. And then I had children, right? And occasionally my dad was, I'm proud of you. You're being a good father, I'm really proud of you. But he never really loved what I did for a job. He was like, he never said I was proud of you until very recently when we've seen some success. And my dad came to me and he like genuinely said to me, well, I think a tear in his eye,
Starting point is 00:37:29 I'm really proud of you son. You're doing a good job. And let me tell you something. There were two full therapy sessions dedicated to that, those five words that he said to me, because there's something about when a father and I guess one of mother, but my mom always shared the praise. But when my father said that to me, there's really something about that a father and I guess one a mother, but my mom always shared the praise. But when my father said that to me, there's really something about that
Starting point is 00:37:48 that touches you in a way that it's hard to describe, especially if you've been starving for that for your entire life, even if you don't know it. When you get it, it's like holy shit, a whole other world opens up. Honestly, it now the earth is flat. My dad said he's proud of what I do for a living. Did you feel that when there's something about I also think being a grandfather for him
Starting point is 00:38:11 has turned him into like a different human being altogether. Oh yeah. Sure. Yeah. Great joys of my life is watching my father be a grandfather to my kids. Yes. But when you when he shows up at your show when they say, Hey, we're going to come, we're going to come watch you. This is really important. And we think we want to be there. Does that just fill you with some weird sense of absolute pride and joy? You're like, oh my God, this is awesome. I feel so proud of myself now.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Well, look, I still had to invite them and say, hey, you know, which was very vulnerable to me. Yeah. This is my one hour special taping. I'd love for you guys to be there. It wasn't like, we can't, we're dying to. Well, when is your next thing? We can't wait to be there, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:00 But they were so proud and supportive and sweet. And it was just really special. I have like beautiful pictures from the night. Oh, I always, I've always been close with them. It's like it's never been like we had a riff during last 10 years, but I'm always been super close to them despite this thing. But yeah, it's just so.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Despite most of my life being dedicated to comedy, they don't appreciate it. They're probably too, like, oh, this is like a hobby. It's a fact. Yeah, she's going to get over it. She's going to do something else. But now that it's really real, that's a touching moment. And now something makes sense.
Starting point is 00:39:41 There's a certain lightning in a bottle kind of about what happens on your special. There's an energy about it. And now knowing this story makes me look at that special a little bit differently too. So now I feel a little bit sensitive. Yeah, you know what? It was like, I honestly forget that.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Like it was a really charged night for that reason because it was honestly like the first time that they were seeing me and also, you know, it was just, it was was honestly the first time that they were seeing me and also, it was wild, like, the emotions of that night. It really was. I haven't even kind of thought about that, I guess. You caught lightning in a bottle. There's something energetically there.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And now that I know the backstory, I think I can connect the dots, but I'm no therapist, but I'm just sharing with you. It's very energetic, right? There's a lot of it. And we appreciate that because there's nothing Chrissy and I do better than loud and obnoxious and you're loud and funny. So we're almost in the same room.
Starting point is 00:40:33 You know what, that's interesting. I do, I'm pretty introverted in my regular life. Yeah. You know, I'm a homebody, all these things. And I look at my onstage presence as sort of my id, where I'm just like a maniac onstage. You know, it's really different from who I am in real life. Do you think this is like,
Starting point is 00:40:58 I feel this way sometimes too. Like I go outside in the world, and I'm not looking to put on a show for anybody, right? I mean, I'm an outgoing person, but I think Chrissy would agree with this. Like, we don't, this is not how we normally act, but you turn on the microphones and our sense of humor gets exacerbated to get some, it's, there's a microphone and a megaphone. Or egging each other on. Yeah, we're egging each other on. But I feel it's like, it's in me. And it gets in me. And when the microphone goes out,
Starting point is 00:41:22 it just naturally comes out. And it is the id, I think. Do you just get that sense? When you, let me ask you a question, when you're on the side of the stage and you're about to go on for your first special, is it like something just turns on? The energy just comes, you just feel it, you're getting yourself charged up.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And then when you get out there and you see the crowd, I don't know, do you go to some different places, or like Chris, he said, the flow, you're in the energy, you're in the flow Sort of yeah, I would definitely describe it as a flow. I mean, I've been on the road since January and honestly for the last like five years But since January I've been on the road About three weekends out of the month and so my schedule this year of how many reps that I got and just being on the stage and being at the comedy store
Starting point is 00:42:07 When on the days that I'm back I mean, I you just I'm getting so many reps. I'm doing so many shows that it's more was before the show that I'm nerve-racking because I'm like this is my first special, you know all this stuff But once I'm on stage once I'm on stage, I'm completely comfortable, you know. Yeah, I love it. Go check out Veebs. We'll put a link in the show notes for you. I, you and I have something in common
Starting point is 00:42:35 and I'm gonna pull out something from way back. I also love, I also in love with Owen Wilson. You have to tell me, because I didn't get a, who isn't? Who isn't? Who is God in love with him? Are you like a huge Owen Wilson fan? You must be dedicated a whole podcast to it. You know what?
Starting point is 00:42:53 I love Owen Wilson. This is crazy. I was actually, okay, well, I'll just give you the short synopsis. Basically, I was in college around the height of his wedding crashers, like all this stuff. And I thought he was the funniest, most unique person.
Starting point is 00:43:10 I was like, no one has his sensibility at all. Like he's so, so funny and just one of a kind. And when he had those mental health problems and like, you know, that suicide attempt or whatever, I was so struck by it. I mean, I'm a very clearly very sensitive person, but I'm so struck by it. I felt so sad that this person that I thought
Starting point is 00:43:37 brought so much joy to the world could be experiencing that, that I wrote him a letter, like saying, I hope you feel better. And like, you know, you are so talented and you make such an impact on the world. And I just looked up an address on the internet, like the best one I could find. I'm sure he never received it. And then years later, somehow came up to someone and one of my friends was like, that is
Starting point is 00:44:04 like so bizarre. And I was like, that is like so bizarre. And I was like, yeah, I guess it is really bizarre. And then I thought of the idea because like, this was back sort of, you know, when podcasts are becoming popular about like 10 years ago. And I was like, you know what? I would love to, and I was just finding comedy and I loved like hearing I would love to, and I was just finding comedy, and I loved hearing comedians on podcasts versus learning who they were in real life versus seeing them on stage. And I was like, I would love to hear comedians write letters.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Everyone's a super fan of someone. I would love to hear comedians write letters to the person they're a fan of. And so then I started this show called Dear Own Wilson and comedians would come on and they'd read a letter, a funny letter to someone you know they're obsessed with or loved growing up. And then I would interview them with the help of my
Starting point is 00:44:56 private detective Lucian Wickels. I know. It was a between two ferns style. I love that. A lot of questions. And you and that Lucian thought of. And that I would say. But yeah, it was interesting because full circle came to LA then Demi Moore happened to come to the show a few times.
Starting point is 00:45:18 She texted him in front of me telling him about the show. And I just couldn't hear. You kidding me. Yeah. That he said I can't believe anyone comes to that typical humble Owen Wilson fashion. And then a month ago, I was at a party and he was there. My manager was like, you want me to go introduce him to you? And I said, no. No, you don't want to meet your hero. No, I don't. You don't want to meet the guy who you made all podcasts about.
Starting point is 00:45:52 No, I don't. I don't want to. I don't blame you. I don't blame you. I love Owen Wilson. And when I saw that you hadn't created this podcast, it reminded me that Owen Wilson, I don't know if you've seen the movie Bottle Rocket. Have you seen the movie, Bottle Rocket?
Starting point is 00:46:06 Yes, of course I have, yes. Oh, thank you. So, Bottle Rocket to me is the best Wilson Brothers movie ever. Period and descendants, and Owen is so brilliant in that movie, and I'd never heard of him, no one had ever heard of my own thing, but when I saw that movie, when I was in my early 20s,
Starting point is 00:46:23 some friend of mine put it on, it like literally changed my life, it changed the way that I looked that movie, when I was in my early 20s, some friend of mine put it on, it literally changed my life. It changed the way that I looked at comedy. It changed the way that I looked at comedic movies because it is so dry and so witty and so, you have to watch it 10 times to get every joke that's in it. It is so brilliantly made
Starting point is 00:46:37 and Owen, in my opinion, drives that movie. It's so good at being like, I don't know. He's a character that has a lot of depth, but he's so dry and funny. And he always plays that similar type of character. Owen is playing Owen and I. I just love him for it. And I'm glad that he's better too,
Starting point is 00:46:56 because there was a period there where he might not have been doing something. I just saw him here in Atlanta. Yeah, I met him in Atlanta one time too. I think he's here a lot. Oh really? What was he up to in Atlanta? I think he was filming Loki actually.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Oh yeah. He's so good. Yeah. You know what? I would love to meet him in a circumstance where it's like, you know, we are working together or something. I wouldn't want to just bother him at a party, you know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:47:21 You wouldn't want to make small talk. No, no, no, no, no, no.. Hi! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But you got the perfect opening line. You just say, hey, you never responded to my letter. And then you go from there. But I hear you, if I was in your shoes, maybe. Yeah, I would never tell you my dog thing. On the spot at a party.
Starting point is 00:47:39 That's right. The only way I would reveal that, yes. The only way I would reveal that is if we somehow bizarrely became very close and I think about two years into our relationship, I would say. I would tell him, you know, it's funny. It's like, I start, when I first started comedy, or before I started comedy,
Starting point is 00:47:57 I was writing for this website split cider for like about six months and I was interviewing comedians like, you know, before they had a special come out doing profiles on them. And I met a lot of the people that I know now and they don't know that I interviewed them. I've been touring with Anthony Jusslinick for the past year.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Oh, they have been in Jusslinick. Yeah. For the last 12 months, I've been touring with him all over the country. I just told him last week. I said, do you know that I... I said, do you know that I hear you? Do you tell me you're still going?
Starting point is 00:48:29 Your TV show came out and he goes, what? Why are you just telling me? Do you know why I find this funny? Because five years from now, Blair is going to come on the show and we're going to have some reminder that we did the commercial break.
Starting point is 00:48:44 No, a few years ago. A few years ago. A few years ago when we had that stupid podcast. Yeah, I think- I'm the way I'll never forget you guys. I will never forget you guys no matter what. I love you. We love you.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Best of you. You're touring with Anthony and then you tour with Ron a lot also, don't you? Or you do do a podcast for a problem? I do. Yes. Oh, I don't do a podcast. Well, you know, we've been friends for years. He was the first guy to take me on the road. And, um, yeah, I'm sort of, you know, it's headlining time now.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Yep. But I've been so grateful to be on the road with some of the best in the business and be taking under the wing of some really good people because, you know, it's not like that for everyone. A lot of people have stories about, you know, especially women in the road and, you know, people like that and I have just been so lucky and blessed with the people who have believed in me and kind of helped me along. I feel like when we talk to the comedians who succeeded, they all have someone who took
Starting point is 00:49:49 them under their wing. I know a lot of people who are still doing open mics 10 years later who have nobody taking them under their wing. I mean, there might be a reason for that too. Not everybody can be Babe Ruth, right? But at the same time, it feels like there's there's always that important mentor story in comedy. And I think when you're on the road, you're vulnerable, you're learning, you don't know the ropes, you're trying to just, you know, make it from one, you put one foot in front of the other, make the new
Starting point is 00:50:14 joke, make the next thing. And if you have somebody that's next to you that's saying here, let me tell you my version that made it a little bit easier for me. Yeah, the champion in your corner. And I think that in the comedy world, even though we're not in the standout comedy world, I feel like the comedians that we do interview always have a good mentor story, right? They always have someone that was behind them. It gave them their first break
Starting point is 00:50:36 or took them under their wing. So how long does the two go on for? Like are you in the middle of it right now? Do you take a break for the holidays and then you get back on the road? This is my, this coming weekend will be my last date with Anthony. I mean, we've been going since, and it'll be in San Diego.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I think it sold out. Unfortunately, otherwise I'd say come on down with a commercial break listener. Yeah. But yeah, this man, this man is a beast and it's sold out like thousands and thousands of tickets. But yeah, that's the conclusion of that. I'm honestly, I'll be on the road next year, but I'm hoping a little less.
Starting point is 00:51:20 This year kind of was insanity, but it ended up being great for shooting the special. But you know, I do a lot of voice over. I'm always auditioning for acting and writing and hoping to do some more of that as well this year. And so, well, best to you. Yeah, best to you. When you go, that's our tagline. Yeah, we just say it to each other for ridiculous reasons. you good. That's our tagline. That's our tagline. Yeah. We just say to each other for ridiculous reasons. Um, when you are on the road, is that, is that tough for you? Like being out on the road? Three weekends every month. Yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Yeah, I will just say it was a lot. I mean, and I was doing, I was on the road and basically the best circumstances that you could be in. Sure. But still it's that amount of travel and then you come home for two days and you like, you know, you do your gym, you do your laundry, you do your, and it's all jammed in your auditions. It's all jammed into two days. It's hard. It is hard to go for that long, that, that much travel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Yeah. You need like a buffer, you need some buffer days to like lay in bed and watch TV. I feel like I'm already a book. Yeah, I'm gonna take two weeks off. Yeah, I'm just rest, I really need it. I really, really need it. It's needed.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Good for you. If you feel like you wanna do something at a two week off, you feel free to come sit here and do this microphone so I can take two weeks off. Cause I'll tell you what, if I take a freaking shower in the morning, sometimes I feel like, come on, I've got so many children, I don't know what to do. And I travel and I always need a vacation from my travel because I always feel like it
Starting point is 00:52:52 exhausts me, right? That's a planes and trains and automobiles. And then I'm like, damn, I do this once a year and I feel like I want to take another week off just to get myself ready set. I don't envy that travel part of it because the other thing too is it's not like you're going to, you know, Paris to go sightseeing, you're going to do a job and you do it usually probably later in the evening. So you see the inside of a hotel room. That's exactly what you, inside of a hotel room, a couple bars, living out of a suitcase. Yeah, like two weekends ago, I did three cities.. We did Portland, Seattle, Vancouver within three days,
Starting point is 00:53:26 so she just wake up and travel to the next and then do that show. And then, you know, so it's not a lot of sightseeing. Anthony always says it's like, I get paid to travel because the shows are so fun. The shows are great. It's just the travel part that is hard. It's a lot of shit punctuated by a little bit of fun at the end of each evening. Yeah. Well, at least that you know the places you want to go back to, right? Maybe as you're traveling through some of these places, then you could go back to them on actual vacation.
Starting point is 00:53:56 That's right. If and when you get there, family, your mom is there. My Vancouver friends, since I'm going to Vancouver City and I can't wait. Oh, Vancouver's going to be beautiful. Yeah. Even when you get that. I've never been, it was gorgeous. That's what everybody says.
Starting point is 00:54:09 They say that Vancouver is one of the cities that you absolutely have to go to. The Veepe Special is available on the Veepe's website. We will have a link in the show notes to it. And I got to tell you, I caught it last night. It was really funny. It's an hour of, you're a different kind of comedian and I really appreciate what you're doing. Yeah, it's a fresh take. Yeah. And so for all those who want to make comments about her voice, she was born with it. What do you got? What do you fucking want her to do?
Starting point is 00:54:38 I mean, honestly, and you got to find out the voice comments. And I think the voice is like a musical punctuation to your comedy. I don't think it's distracting. I think it at times actually makes the joke even funnier. So go check out the Veepe special. It's incredible. We loved it. Blair, will you come back and see us sometime? I would it would be my highest honor to have you.
Starting point is 00:55:04 I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to meet both of you and I had such a nice time and thank you so much for watching the special that means so much to me, put my whole heart and soul and last decade of my life into it. So I'm just so grateful to you guys. Now you lazy listeners out there. You gotta go and check out our special to us a favor. Check out the special. It's worth it.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Link in the show notes, and we'll talk more about it over the next couple of days. Blair, we say this always, you're a friend of the commercial break. Best of you. Best of you. Thank you. And also with you.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Thank you. Thank you. Look, I know you guys are getting really sick of me, but that is too bad. It's my job!

Starting point is 00:56:34 Oh, Blair was awesome. She was amazing. I mean, listen, I've loved all the guests that have been here so far. They really have all been great. Well, the good news is we've been blessed enough to be able to say yes or no. So when we have somebody on, you know, we probably have a premonition that we're going to like premonition. Like I'm sitting here like to recycle food or having a premonition. We probably have a premonition that we're
Starting point is 00:56:52 going to like them. The Blair was fantastic. And that story about her dad honestly makes me want to go on to show it a different light. That's such a good feeling when your dad says I'm proud of you. And I like my dad's never said I'm proud of me. So I just said that story for effect. No, I'm just kidding. I never said I'm proud of me. So I just said that story for effect. No, I'm just kidding, my dad said he said I was proud of you. And honestly, it brought it to your to my eye. I was like, well, my dad said he's proud of me about something that doesn't have to do it.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Nothing I had control over, like the personality of my children, you know what I'm saying? That wasn't happened. But go watch players, special on Veebs. Again, there's a show in, there's a link in the show notes. I, we would appreciate it. She would appreciate it if you would go watch players special on Veebs again. There's a link in the show notes. I would appreciate it. She would appreciate it if you would go watch that special because you know that's how they get paid. I'm sure there's some kind of split on that or something that Veebs does. And I don't have Veebs have the commercial break on. Do you think? Soon. I can only imagine. Can we talk to Jeff? He
Starting point is 00:57:41 knows must-know-some people at Live Nation doesn't he? Doesn't he have a live nation connection somewhere there? Yeah, he does. Do they do the ticket handling for Menfo? Yeah, well, yes. Yes, okay. That's the answer. Okay. Yeah, I got it. Kind of. Yeah. There's so many subsidiaries of Menfo. There's companies upon companies upon companies.
Starting point is 00:57:58 But it all does lead back. Yeah, is he already getting ready for Menfo number two? I mean, Menfo number five or whatever it is, headphone number six, he is. God bless that. God, that sucks. That you get done with one and then you gotta worry about the next one immediately the next day. You're still wrapping up, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Thank God we have a lazy job like this where we just come in and talk on the microphone, shut it off, go home. It's not true. This stupid show takes so much work. Just like Blair's comedy special took her 10 years. 10 years to make her material. She said it's kind of like a cliche or a saying in the comedy industry that it takes 10 years
Starting point is 00:58:35 to get your first special worth of material and then you kind of quicken up after that. So if it's going to take us 10 years. Get the flow. I think we're going to be at the villages before we're actually in the flow. So don't you imagine the villages is right around the corner? Skid right into the villages. Skid right into the villages with my, you know, my big boy panties on already. Hey listen, there's only so much that I can do, Chrissy. There's only so much that I can do. Hey, I wanted to take a minute and I wanted to say thank you to everybody who has left those kind reviews in the year of 2023.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Everyone who's texted us and everyone who send us a voicemail. It's Christmas, it's the holidays, we're going to take a break, we'll keep on bringing you fresh ass but so it's, we're going to take a break. So I thought before we exited for the holiday season, I did want to let everybody know that we love you. Thank you so much. The commercial break has had one hell of a year and so many different ways, lots of highs, lots of lows, lots more lows, still waiting for some more highs.
Starting point is 00:59:34 But we have had one hell of a ride, especially this year in 2023, and it's largely due to the fact that you keep listening, whether you like it or not, we keep putting out these episodes. So I did wanna say thank you before we get out of here for the year. Okay. That's it.
Starting point is 00:59:54 As Blair Saki would say, what would she say? That's a wrap. That's a wrap. There you go. She's in the biz. She's in the biz. I still wish we could get that feed finder thing going on. Yeah, we needed checking about Golds for 2024.
Starting point is 01:00:12 The commercial break foot page on feed finder because if Blair made money in 24 hours on her feet you can make money in 24 hours on your feet. Yeah, let's do it. Now she actually has people that follow her Instagram, so there might be a little bit of a different. We might have to ask Blair to promote it for us. So do us a favor.

That's been so tough. It's been so tough. It's been so tough. It's been so tough.
