I'm Emma Greed and I've spent the last 20 years building, running and investing in some incredible businesses. I've co-founded a multi-billion dollar unicorn and had my hand in several other companies that have generated hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. The more success I've had, the more people started coming to me with questions. How do you start a business? How do you raise money?

How do I bounce back from failure? So it got me thinking, why not just ask the people I aspire to the most? How do they actually do what they do? I'm so incredibly lucky to know some of the smartest minds out there and now I'm bringing their insights along with mine, unfiltered, directly to you.

On my new podcast, Aspire with Emma Greed, I'll dive into the big questions everyone wants to know about success in business and in life. Through weekly conversations you'll get the tangible tools, the real no BS stories and undeniable little hacks that actually help you level up. Listen to and follow Aspire with Emma Greed, an Odyssey podcast available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

I mean, I see the logic.

In, uh, was it, uh... Sorry, that rom-com with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, You've Got Mail, when she has the shop around the corner, it's a reference to that.

I'm a rom-com girl.

Brian, you would love The Real Housewives. Oh, well, hey. I mean, honestly, I'm hearing this and I'm like, God, the drama with Shannon Bedore and John Chan said you would love it. You would eat that shit up.

Yeah. I mean, you could just start with Salt Lake City. I know.

It's such a good one.

That's Vince Vaughn.

Hot in that movie. He is so hot in that movie. Oh, you like Vince Vaughn? Oh, my God. Yes. But, okay, at the very start of that movie, when they, like, get in a fake fight, oh, I've never seen anything hotter in my life. I implore you on this Christmas to go watch the first five minutes of Four Christmases. Okay, all right. I love Vince Vaughn. That's a good movie.

He spells it at the start of the video.

Have you seen this? Oh, I have seen that. It's pretty good. I haven't seen it, but I think it's lesbian. Pretty good.

Oh, my God. Carol, another lesbian love story.

It's incredible.

Well, let's see. Every single year I get Band-Aids from my family. Oh, Band-Aids. My mom gives me a pack of Band-Aids.

I think they're very handy, but like every year I'm like, what kind of Band-Aids am I going to get?

Yeah. Like, I mean, last year I think there were unicorns.

No, they're real band-aids and I really use them.

But they're like for kids. So last year I was in charge of my mother's stocking and I gave her band-aids.

Well, funnily enough, it started because as a kid, I used to use so many Band-Aids.

I just used to always get cuts on my fingers.

Yeah, I was known for having Band-Aid hands.

I was going to say it's not that thoughtful.

I think I might have done it once or twice. But not like a mean way. Normally it's like it's a nice thing, but like I just already have it.

And like I don't want to tell someone if I already have something that they got me because they feel like they did put thought into it. It is something I would like. I do have it.

Okay, rich guy. I know.

I'm rich.

100%.

Uh-huh.

Well, I was thinking that's a two-for-one deal.

Good king wins his loss.

Have you guys heard the rendition of Ave Maria, sort of a different style, by David Bisbal?

Bisbal.

Yeah. He's a Latin American artist, and it's very party forward. It's Ave, Ave Maria.

And I love his music videos. I love the dancing.

David Bisbal.

I've had six espressos to get me through this. I'm coming down off my espressos. I need more espressos. But I went up on the Ozempic this week and I had a spray tan and I've got new teeth done for you. No, no, no, no. I've got the gloves. I've got the gloves to do. So, you know, got to get it all in.

Ding!

But it's time to take a break and listen to some sponsors and then we'll get back to the show.

Oh, pearl.

Why do they celebrate Christmas in the Harry Potter movies? Wouldn't Jesus just be a normal guy there?

And I gave the lady who was there was we got into a conversation and she communicated that, you know, she had small children and she was a single mother. And this was not like she wasn't giving me an oh me, poor me story. I was just.

Yeah, I was like the only one in the Waffle House. It was like New Year's Day. I was the only one at night, and I was the only one at the Waffle House. And I was just communicating, you know, just talking with her, having a little chitty-chatty. And I left her a $250 tip on like a 17th. That was very nice.

I felt so good about myself, and I'm feeling so good about myself that I get to announce that live here on air. Don't you think I'm a good person now? Yeah. Don't you realize what kind of human being I am after I've shared that story in such a humble way? I am a big tipper, and I have a huge dick.

While avoiding all responsibility, Brian was at Waffle House. getting close to the waitress congratulations to me I am incredible Yeah, $4 million. I mean, that's out of proportion, too. I just felt extremely generous in that moment. Her story struck me, and I was like, oh, this lady, you know, she probably has to wait on 55 tables just to make, you know, $70 a day or something like that.

She's got to really, really hustle. She was good at what she did. She was very kind. I felt for her circumstances.

That you have to be. You really do. You have to be. There's no slackers at Waffle House.

Oh, God. Teen Mom was... I can't keep up with it anymore.

Say what you will about Waffle House, but it is a southern institution. It is never closed. Very rarely is it closed. I mean, I've heard they've closed for hurricanes and stuff like that, but it is never closed. Why they have locks on the door? I don't know. Probably to keep the crazies out when it gets a little nutty sometimes. Waffle House. We'll keep you out. Waffle House.

When you get kicked out, you know you're a shithead. Waffle House. Put your pants back on. You can come inside. So that Waffle House is a Southern institution. It is always on. It is always there for you. You will always be greeted with a somewhat friendly face. You will get the same food every single time.

It's a greasy spoon, and man, is it goddamn good, especially after a long night of drinking or drugging. I love the Waffle House. and those people work extraordinarily hard, probably for not a lot of money. I don't know if they're passionate about their jobs, but they don't seem dispassionate about their jobs.

I'm sure not everybody is happy to be working at the Waffle House, but there's a pride in getting it done, getting it done efficiently and quickly and cleanly. I don't have enough praise for a Waffle House. As a matter of fact, I want Waffle House right now. That That's what I want.

Hey, listen. What do you want? You think I'm made of money around here? That was back then. Now, I'd be lucky to tip at a Waffle House. I'd be lucky to be at a Waffle House, let alone tip at a Waffle House. All right. Well, listen, we'll call Sophie Rain and see if she can lend us some money. She seems to be in it. Let's take a break. And, yeah, we'll be back.

There's something so fascinating about watching those young ladies try and navigate life with children. Then once I got children, I was like, not so fascinating anymore. Now I totally understand where they're coming from. And it's very difficult work. I mean, listen, I always thought it was difficult work. I was never under the impression it wasn't.

Well, if what you're missing is a little giggle, you should follow us on Instagram, at The Commercial Break, and on TikTok, at TCV Podcast, because, you know, we're posting clips. We're being silly.

And those are really all the ways I can help you. So maybe you're missing something from our sponsors. Let's find out.

I felt so good about myself, and I'm feeling so good about myself that I get to announce that live here on air. Don't you think I'm a good person now?

Did you hear that President-elect Mr. Donald Trump has been bantering around the idea of allowing podcasters like ourselves to be at White House? I mean, not ourselves. We're not going to get invited to anything. But, you know, like other people who have cachet and importance in that Trump circle, like Rogan, Theo Vaughn, and others, to be in the White House press briefing rooms.

But I don't know, the way their lives unfolded became like of interest to me. And Farrah in particular was a real... Hot cat. I mean, she was just like always screaming and yelling about something and everybody did her wrong song. And it was like one big country song was fair as life. Right. But then she went on. Then they kicked her off the show because she was so difficult.

They're essentially getting credentialed to be White House press. And there's a lot of conversation going on about this. And some people have confirmed that, in fact, they may allow podcasters to be in the press room. I wanted to get your take on this. What are your thoughts on allowing podcasters like Theo Vaughn or Joe Rogan into the White House press room?

Okay, you take a very interesting angle on that. Why not see how it goes?

I think this is like letting the Hawk to a girl do our hurricane reporting because she knows about wet things. And so let me let me share my opinion. OK, well, please. My opinion is this. Nothing against Rogan or Theo Vaughn. They're powerful podcasters who do a lot for the industry. And how you feel about their show personally is whatever. But they are not news reporters.

They don't report the news. They report opinions. And kind of knowing about things and talking about things are two different things. Like, I don't know about things. I just talk about things.

If you listen to the fucking show, I have no idea about anything, but I don't, I'm also not giving anybody the impression that I do. Like I'm not trying to report the news here. Right. So Rogan and Theo are the same way. They're not newscasters. They don't report on the news. So they go to the white house press briefing room and they listen to something.

And then they go back to their followers, listeners, and then they have a conversation with their followers about, about their opinion about what was said. That's not reporting the news. That's just being opinionated.

So someone... Well, I mean... A news briefing. Right. You can read or... Watch it, right? So the people that are in the press room typically are news reporters, right? I don't even know what that means. I have no idea, right? I don't think you need any special kind of magic to be a news reporter. But I think their job is to listen to what's being said, report back on the facts, right?

This is what they said. This is how it was said. This is the context in which this particular situation is being discussed, right? Report and just report the facts, ma'am. Right now, I totally realize that that doesn't happen a lot in 2024.

They're in the room also. But their reporters are not there to be opinionated. They don't have four hours of conversation. I mean, that's not what they're supposed to be there for. I just think it's kind of a little bit of a bastardization of what the White House press briefing is even for in the first place. It's like, you're there to report. The White House press briefing is the

we're updating you on what's going on inside of the West Wing. And that's not always factual either. There's lots of bullshit coming out of their mouths. I'm not saying that Joe Rogan or Theo Vaughn would mean anything malicious by going back and talking to their audience about what they heard inside of the press briefing room. I just think that, you know, I don't know.

To me, it feels like it's opening up a can of worms. It is the new media. It is where most people are getting their information. YouTube and podcasting has officially... Seeing it stay in the sun for sure, without a doubt. But I just don't know about like letting anybody in the press room just because we happen to like them feels a little bit. I don't know.

And then she went on to porn fame. I guess is the best way to say it. That's the next step. Yeah, now she's on OnlyFans after protesting that she was not infected.

It feels a little too loosey goosey to me. And maybe I'm a bit of a traditionalist and I would prefer that news come from news reporters, news sources like that. When you read the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or even when you get a report from a newscaster on Fox or on CNN, typically you're not watching for them. You're not there for the personality.

You're listening to what they're saying, how they're communicating, what's going on inside of the West Wing as per the White House press briefing. You're not there for the personality. You're not there for their opinion. People have been opinionating on that for a long time.

And I hear you like, what's the danger of just letting him in the room?

I don't think Anderson is inside the press briefing room. I think he communicates his opinion on what was said inside of the White House press briefing room, right? Because he clearly has an opinion show, right? Just like Tucker Carlson does or whoever is on Fox News and just like, I don't know, Rachel Maddow and that Jose Diaz-Balard.

That's the next step. That's right. Well, OnlyFans makes it easy for people to be in the sex work business and make good money doing it if you can amass a following. I guess if you're good at what you do, then just like anything in life. Just like the commercial break has 5,000 almost Instagram followers, Farrah Abrams has... I guess, millions of people that are out there watching her OnlyFans.

Thanks, Jose. Again, this is just my opinion because this is what we do. We opinionate on things. We don't necessarily know all the facts. We don't necessarily have a clear understanding of any of the issues. But it'd be honestly like letting me in the press briefing room to then come back and report to the world on what's going on inside of the press briefing room. Would be a dumb fucking idea.

It just would. I wouldn't remember. I'd pretend like I knew.

No, you can't just walk in there.

Yeah. But here's another.

C-SPAN oftentimes covers all. Well, I think they do actually cover all of the White House press briefings as they do all of the congressional sessions and all of the things that go on that they can report on in the government. However. No one watches C-SPAN ever for any of that information.

And that's, I guess, another point, and maybe this could go either way, is that I don't think the typical commercial break... listener or the typical Theo Vaughn listener or the typical Joe Rogan listener or call her daddy or whatever, I don't think any of us are sitting around watching C-SPAN White House press briefings.

So if the only source of information you have is Brian Greene telling you what happened, then you are fucked as a human being as far as knowing and understanding what's going on in our government, because I am just going to give you my opinion. I'm not a trained reporter. I didn't go to school for that. I don't know how to report

Yeah, I hear you. You know, I know that it's like, you know, you're swimming upstream with a lot of these things, but it just seems like yet another move toward the movie idiocracy.

I mean, you know, it's like you can... You know, the press is the, what do they call it? The fourth estate, right? The press is supposed to be the fourth estate. And what the press means these days is very, it's very nebulous. Does it mean Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn in the commercial break? I'm not putting myself with Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn. Thank you. We are in a different class.

Thank you very much. A class that gets much less money and many few listeners. But at the end of the day, it feels like we're one step away from putting a neon sign in front of the White House. Vacancy.

Oh, I know it. And I'm just like, I'm trying to decide in my head. Yeah. You know, are we going to do any splitting of hairs or it's just like the baby is directly going to go out with the bathwater? I don't know. It feels... Doomed.

Good for her. Sophia Raine went on Twitter, I think it was, and put a screenshot of her OnlyFans revenue for 2024. She claimed she made $43 million in 2024, including a $4 million tip from one happy customer. One very happy customer, indeed. Oh, gosh. $4 million. I mean, who's got that kind of jingle jangle? Obviously, this is somebody who's trying to get her attention.

It feels like we're doomed. And to be clear, it's not because I, you know, it's not because Joe Rogan specifically or Theo Vaughn specifically. I'm mentioning them because they are the most mentioned in these news stories that are coming out where Don Jr. is saying they've talked about this. It's going to happen. They're going to let these people in the press room and all this other stuff.

But then again, you know, Trump's saying a lot of stuff and, you know, some of it's just not – he's finding a lot of headwinds. Like, what was that guy's name? Matt Gaetz.

Matt Gaetz. That guy's awful. Oh, he's terrible. Now he's doing – you know what I saw? He's doing cameos. I saw that. Cameos. I saw that. It's $550 to get a cameo. It's $25 from Big Ed at 90 Day Fiancé, and he's 10 times more entertaining and less creepy. And that's saying something, because Big Ed's fucking creepy. So I'm telling you right now.

There was four. Well, he doesn't have a job now.

He doesn't. That was crazy. He quit because he was going to be the attorney general, and then all of a sudden he's like, well, this is not going to work out clearly. And so he just jumped ship, which I would have too if I was directly in his position. I wouldn't want – that's even more scrutiny than he already had on him, and he's not exactly been the brightest star student in the classroom. No.

So $550. So then when I went and I looked to see, like, you know, you have to give a review, I think, every time you do a cameo. You have to, like, give them some kind of star or something. I think that's how it works. So you look at someone like Big Ed or some of these stars out there, reality stars. They have thousands, tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of stars, ratings, right?

And Matt Gaetz had been on for three days and he had four stars. It was like, oh, okay, well, at least he's not getting a ton of traffic on that website. You got to do a lot of cameos to make money. At $550, you know, at $550, you have to hope that 10,000 people come and pay $550. I would do them at, if I was on Cameo, which I could be, I know some people who are on Cameo. Yeah.

who have like, you know, 2,000 Instagram followers and they have a Cameo page. I don't know who's paying for that Cameo, but okay, good for you. I guess we could have Cameo pages.

We could do it. What kind of Cameo would we do? Well, I mean, don't you... Let's say it's Jason's birthday.

Yeah, you have to write a little something. So, hey, Jason, it's Brian and Chrissy here on Cameo from the commercial break, and we're so happy it's your birthday. We have no fucking clue who you are. We've never met you before in our life, and for all we know, you could be a criminal shithead.

You're our new best friend. We love you. Call us anytime. Things are great. We love best to you and your hairy tees and... We hope everything's going lovely. And remember, 21 EPMs, check your prostate each year. Thanks. That's right. Look at that, $50. We could do that for $50. And instead of doing an episode of the commercial break, we could just sit here all day long and do cameos.

We'd probably make a lot more money. We probably would. Of course, that's not saying much either.

Foot Finder.

Still haven't gotten, I had like, I've checked my Foot Finder, I don't know, like four weeks ago and I had six views. No, no payments, no requests for more feet photos. Just,

I did. I put a couple pictures of my feet.

Yeah, I'll show them to you. Yeah. It's not, I mean, listen, it's, you know, they're feet. It is what it is. I don't have like stubby toes or anything. I mean, I've been told I have pretty feet, but I was told by the cashier at Publix. I was guessing.

Well, I was told by a guy at the DMV that I have pretty toes. Oh, really? It's not true, but he told me.

Well, it's because he's a creep. It's because he wants to suck your toes. Which, by the way, is like my nightmare fetish. Like the last thing I want to be sucking on is toes. And I'm glad that Astrid and I share that in common. It's our anti-fetish. We're like, toes? We would keep socks on if we could. I don't keep socks on during the summer. I wear sandals.

But what I'm saying is I don't have any interest in getting toes involved. You know what I'm saying?

But you're not like, toes aren't a thing for you. It's not like a fetish for you. Was it Tina? I'm sorry, Tina, if I'm bastard. Someone was here and said they liked feet. And I'm sure it wasn't my wife and I'm sure it wasn't me.

It's a big thing. People are really into toes. I wonder if for $550 we could get Matt Gaetz to talk to our toes. You know what I'm saying? Gross. I don't know.

Listen, if someone tipped me $4 million, I would be gaping anus everywhere. I'd be like, hey, no problem. $4 million. I'm ready. Whatever you want, I got. But other stars on OnlyFans are calling her out saying that's clearly bullshit. You did not make $43 million on OnlyFans. It's very hard to make that kind of money on OnlyFans. And from what

Oh, my God. They were pointing out like they were doing a side by side of him with when he started in Congress and now and how much plastic surgery has been done on his face. They were doing this with a lot of... Listen, I think this could be said... This is representative of an entire population.

I'm not trying to point anything out, but they were doing... Someone was saying there is a trend on TikTok right now to show what's called MAGA face, right? People who are in Trump's orbit who have gotten a lot of... plastic surgery done to their face. And so it's like all these side-by-sides and there's like, you know, tons of reels out there showing different people.

Laura Loomer and, you know, whoever. And so they were showing Matt Gaetz and I was like, wow, he really like dolled up his face. He went from... Looking like a rat to being a rat. Like being officially a mouse. It was incredible.

He got his eyebrows lifted. He clearly had something like a lot of Botox in his forehead and eyes. He had his nose.

It is really weird looking. You know, I get it, like, you know, as you grow older, those muscles start to fade, and so your eyebrows start to droop a little bit. But then when you get them, and you're like the Wicked Witch of the West, I mean, honestly. Totally. Yeah, it looks so weird. And he had this huge like, you know, just almost like angular lines.

Like someone had literally taken fish hooks and pulled his eyebrows up. And it does look a little disconcerting. And I've seen people out in like in the grocery store. And then there's this like new trend for women to get like six inch eyebrows. Have you seen this too? Some people they're like painting on eyebrows like that are six inches thick.

I mean, I swear to God, they're like halfway up their forehead. Yeah. And I think to myself, there are a lot of people in this world and some of them are not well. Exactly. What makes you think that looks good? You can always get back to that saying. I basically run through life thinking that to myself.

When I get behind an old lady that's driving slow, there are so many people in this world and most of them are not well. When I see the eyebrow lift, so many people in this world, most of them are not well. When I see that four people have actually paid Matt Gaetz for a cameo, there are so many people in this world and four of them are not well.

I know. I really wanted to get somebody like Big Ed or somebody on Cameo. I wanted to send them a request, like an almost ridiculous request to do a Cameo, pay the $100 or whatever it was, and then run it on the commercial break as a joke. Oh, that's a good idea. It would be if it wasn't against their terms of service to do that. You can't actually do that.

You can only use it for private use. You can't redistribute it. So it's... So Dr. Now Zartan.

Yeah, Big Ed should open it up because if he could do cameos on the commercial break, I'd be paying every episode to get a new Big Ed.

I did. I slid into his DMs and I asked him to come on the show. Of course, that's when we had six listeners and no interviews. Now we have 10 listeners and a couple of interviews. So maybe I'll try.

I mean, we did have some luck doing that. You know, the first person ever that we asked to be on the show through Instagram DM immediately responded to us as if they were up waiting for us to call them. It was like, wow. Okay. All right. But I tried to get Big Ed on the show.

And, you know, on Instagram, you have a limit as to how many private messages you can, you can only send like, I don't know what it is, two messages. Oh, I didn't realize. If they don't accept your instant, if you don't accept your message request, and if they don't allow you to instant message them when they're verified or whatever, then you can't send them any more messages.

So I've reached my limit with Big Ed, but Big Ed, I implore you, you're welcome on the show anytime. I know there's some downtime for you right now, bud. So if you'd like to, you're welcome to come on the show or just allow me to use a cameo and I'll pay you to be on the show.

i understand i mean listen we're content creators so we get it we know how much content creators make it's very difficult to get into the millions of dollars unless you have hundreds of millions of downloads or views or whatever i know only fans is different because i guess you can tip and i don't really know because i've actually never paid for an only fan subscription yeah and i think you can sell things too like sell like a package of photos or your urine like that

Oh, you know what? Knowing Big Ed the way that I know him from reality TV, knowing Big Ed the way that I know him, I would bet you have a much better chance of getting Big Ed to respond to you than I do. And so maybe you should. On this break, why don't you DM Big Ed and say, Big, would you come on? Biggie. Say, Biggie, would you come on the show? Pretty please.

And then show them a picture of your feet. Because if there's one person in this world that I am almost positive is into feet, it's Big Ed.

Chrissy, you are hot to trot, babe. I just love you so much. Jeff, you're in for a rollicking good time tonight. Chrissy's got those feet shined and primed. All right. All right. Why don't we do this? Let's take a short break. And when we get back, there is more fun and shenanigans at the brand new TCB studio.

You can now see on youtube.com slash the commercial break Instagram at the commercial break. But Christine is going to tell you all about that during the liners. So we'll take a break and we'll be back.

In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at thecommercialbreak and on TikTok at tcbpodcast and go to our website tcbpodcast.com for more information about Brian and Chrissy and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes.

Now please text us at 212-433-3TCB and tell Brian and Chrissy to let me out of the closet.

Have you seen the new, not Ivan Reitman, but who's his son, Jason Reitman? Is it Jason Reitman? I think it's Jason Reitman. He made a movie about the very first night of the very, I mean, the night that Saturday Night Live went live. He made a movie about it.

And there are a bunch of people that play, you know, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase and, you know, all these other characters, John Belushi in this movie. And I saw like an extended trailer. It was like seven and a half minutes long. And it was absolutely, to me, fascinating because I am fascinated by Saturday Night Live.

The mechanics of it, how it works. Is Jason Reitman, Christina? It's Jason Reitman. Good job, Brian. Thanks. Look, I can get a White House press credential, too.

Broken clock is right twice a day. So this movie that he made.

Like I heard about it, but then until I saw the trailer, I didn't even remember that they had talked about making this movie. But now they've made it and it does look fascinating. And I would love to watch this movie. I don't know. It's like out in independent theaters or something like that. I don't know what's going on. Can you tell me when that movie is coming out?

Okay. Yeah, I want to see when it's going to be on the streamers because that's when I'll really see it. Because seeing Wicked the other day, it was literally an act of Congress to get out of this house. And that's never going to happen again until Gustavo and Ale, congratulations to both of you, until they come back here and decide to watch the kids for us. But, like, go ahead.

Jesus, Jones. I know, I know.

Come on, there's almost as much to go to the movie theater.

That's, yeah.

Yeah. Okay. All right. I'm not going to buy it yet. I'll wait a couple of years until it comes out on Netflix. Can you rent it? Yeah, you can buy it, but I don't think you can rent it. No. You know, they have a period where you can buy it and then they have the rental period too. Usually it's the other way around. Usually you can rent it first and then you get to buy it later. Go ahead.

So you can buy it for $24.99 or rent it for $19.99. Oh, well.

Well, buy it.

I know.

That's the point. Why rent it? And then you've got that two-day period where you have to watch it. And that, to me, is the killer. I always just decide to buy it because I'm like, I'm never going to get this done in two days. Never.

Yes, I am also like that, but no, my children do not allow me to do that. That is a complete farce. Okay, you can't follow through with that. No. It's like getting five minutes of work done at any time of the day or night in a row, five minutes in a row, is nearly impossible with the chaos that goes on in this house. And I love it.

Or your urine or your farts. Or your farts in a jar like that one girl did. Or the bath water. Remember the lady was selling the bath water? She was making good money doing that. I think someone paid her like a hundred grand for some of her bath water. I wish that anybody was that interested in me because I would not be too proud to do that.

I wouldn't change it for the world, but there's just a certain rhythm to the way things go. Yeah, I agree. And I know it's going to take me three to four days to watch two hours of anything in a row. But this Saturday Night Live, you remember we had Rosebud Baker on? We did. Rosebud Baker is a writer, a senior staff writer, a senior writer for Saturday Night Live.

And she kind of explained to us the chaos that goes into... writing an episode of Saturday Night Live. They have one day off a week, and then the rest of the week, they are there till midnight, one, two, three, four in the morning, trying to get this show ready to be broadcast to millions of people live every week. And they do two of those shows.

I am a big tipper, and I have a huge dick.

They do one in the afternoon, and they do one during the night when it's live. So it's a big lift. to get all of that done, to try and make it funny. There's 12 to 15 skits that go into each show. There's musical acts. It's got to be so frenetic and so incredible to watch that all come together, to do it for the first time.

When Lorne Michaels put this together and pitched the network, he didn't even tell them what the show was going to be about. He just said, listen, it's gonna be a comedy show live on Saturday night. I need an hour and a half after the news broadcasts. And the network said, okay, sure. And he knew the play. They knew the players that were involved. And I'm sure they had people at rehearsals.

But I can almost imagine just how crazy that first night was, especially with the personalities that were on board. Yeah.

Chevy Chase was a walking eight ball in the 70s and 80s, and he has admitted it as such.

Isn't there a movie about like Chevy Chase being stuck in a room with somebody doing cocaine at a country club for days in a row? Does this sound familiar to you? No.

can you google chevy chase uh cocaine country country or hotel a movie i don't know there's something interesting in caddyshack there's a documentary about this go ahead did you find it okay um the i remember reading about this or hearing about maybe we even talked about it but like yes the lots of cocaine lots of liquor you have john belushi who's a by all accounts a pretty hot mess but also extraordinarily talented uh

And they're all trying to come together to put on a live television show on a broadcast network when broadcast networks were the only game in town. So there are probably millions, if not tens of millions of people that are tuning in to see this new television show on one of the three channels that they had after the network news. It just seems so exciting to me.

And I would love to go up there and watch a Saturday Night Live TV.

Rosebud, because I know you follow the commercial break. Dear Rosebud, please send tickets ASAP, backstage passes if you would, all access, so that I can come back and report on that frenetic energy here at the commercial break. That would be to me, to me that is on the bucket list. Go see a taping of Saturday Night Live. And I've had friends who've gone and seen tapings.

I'm not sure the parents at my kids' school would appreciate it. Plus your shower water.

And I've had friends who have gone to the rehearsals who were lucky enough to get the rehearsal tickets. And they said it's just like, it's amazing. It's crazy how it all comes together. It's so fast. It's so whiz bang. And yeah, I want to see the movie. Jason, put it on Netflix so that we can all watch it at our own time without having to pay extra money. Poor Jason.

But here's the crazy thing is I never even heard about the movie coming out in the movie theaters. Or maybe it didn't. Maybe it went straight to video. Maybe Wicked and that goddamn Gladiators pushed it out. Or probably Twisters pushed it out of the movie. Twisters. Twisters with Glenn Frey or whatever his name is. What's his name? Glenn...

There's plenty of shower water to keep. That would be gallons and gallons every time. I got plenty of it. But $43 million seems like... Let's put it this way. Joe Rogan makes about that much for about a half a year worth of work. And by all accounts, he's getting, you know, I don't know, 20, 30, 40 million downloads on episodes of his show. That's a lot.

Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell. What's his next movie?

No, I know. Glenn Frey was in The Eagles. Glenn Frey. Talk about a walking eight ball. Glenn Frey from The Eagles. He might still be a walking eight ball. I don't think that. I think he's actually been sober for many years. But Glenn Frey is so fucking talented. You know, I saw him on that. Remember that for a while there on VH1, they had that live from Daryl's house? Yes.

Hall got, what's that disease you get from lice, from deer lice? Lyme disease? Lyme disease. He got Lyme disease. It affected him terribly. Oh, from ticks. Yeah, not lice. What? What's the difference, really, at the end of the day? He got bit by a deer tick. He got that Lyme disease. It affected him terribly. He was sick for many years, actually, I think is what he said.

And then as he started to get better, he couldn't play out in the public. So he was inviting people to come and play with him.

Well, at first, according to him, he was literally just inviting people over to come play. Like there was no cameras or anything in his big barn where he had set up this music studio. People were coming to say, you know, hey, hope you feel better, helping him get better playing music. And then he put some cameras in there and did live from Daryl's house.

And he had some really great, talented musicians come up there, play their songs, play Hall & Oates songs, and just have a good time. Eat some dinner and have a good time, and it was all taped. And I saw Glenn Frey do an episode, and he is so fucking good at what he does. He's so talented. If I just had one inch of that talent, then maybe there's a chance Astrid stays with me until I pass away.

Just one inch of that guitar talent. That's all I want. But no, Brian can't even play Home Sweet Home from Motley Crue. Keep practicing. Yeah. You know that Motley, that Home Sweet Home song is now in a car commercial. And so every time I hear it, every time Astrid and I are in the same room and it comes out and Astrid looks at me. Is that the song you were trying to play? That's it. Yes, dear.

That's the song that I was trying to play.

Yeah. And, you know, have you read the Saturday Night Live book? Have you read the book about Saturday Night Live?

Yeah.

What was your favorite, like, cast of Saturday Night Live?

He's like the person who's hosted The Most or something?

Kristen Wiig?

Oh, you said Kristen Wiig?

Maya Rudolph is so good.

Mike Myers.

Eddie Murphy was fantastic. Yeah, there's so many. John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd.

Garrett Morris. Yeah. Lorraine Boosler. But who was the other one? Rosanna, Rosanna Dana. You know who I'm talking about. She was married to

I can't remember her name, but she was.

My dad used to watch. My dad, everybody in my family, you know, my grandparents and everybody. Yeah. Used to watch Saturday Night Live. So when I was growing up, I would see not only what I see the new episodes, but then they would rerun old episodes during when they were not live.

50 years. But I just remember as a kid that Saturday Night Live kind of being the mainstay. You know, on Saturday Night Live, Saturday night, I would be allowed to stay up and watch TV. Of course, yeah. You know, got a little extra slack. And it was one of the shows that was a little bit more adult that I was allowed to watch. And my dad just loved it. He loved seeing John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

You have to have a lot of people engaged in your content. And I just... I might agree with Farrah on this one. Well, I don't agree with her on a lot. I might agree that that seems like a very large amount of money to make for such a kind of niche platform. And Sophia Rain, while very beautiful, you know, is she going to be – that's like a very specific thing. You have to be really –

Wow. My parents loved it, too. Steve Martin cut up. He thought it was the greatest thing. When they did that, oh, God, when they did the Blues Brothers or when, who was that? The father that would come on, the smoking cigarettes, the father on the newscast. And all the newscasters over the years. I mean, we can think, just like so talented.

And I think the guys who are doing the Saturday Night Live news right now are so incredibly talented.

And Michael Che. Uh-huh, Michael Che. They may be the best that have ever done it. And there's been a lot of Dennis.

Not better than Seth Meyers.

I don't know. I think he was the best. Seth Meyers was great. Dennis Miller was great. Dennis Miller. Colin, what's his name, did it for a while. Colin Quinn did it for a while.

Yeah, Chevy Chase, I think, even did it for a few minutes.

I know.

Yeah, crazy to think about. But then, you know, Chevy's never been one to get along with humans. Yeah, exactly. I mean, Chevy's never been one to get along with humans.

He is so fucking talented, but he apparently was so full of himself that he was just very, full of himself and full of, you know, Brazil's finest, you know, that Columbia's marching powder, that it just became impossible to work with him. But I think he left the show because he wasn't being billed as the biggest star. I think he was.

Yeah, they did some great ones.

Classic movies. So I really want to see this set.

A documentary?

A Making of Caddyshack?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you know, Bill Murray wasn't even supposed to be in that movie. Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, I mean, and Chevy Chase hated each other.

By all accounts. I know. Didn't they get into a fist fight once or something? Yeah. And they hated each other so much that they are, I think they're only in one scene together in the entire movie. And then they had to be separated. They had to come in on set at different times because.

Because Bill Murray was kind of the anti-ego to Chevy Chase's ego. But Bill Murray's turn in Caddyshack is like star-making.

I know. Didn't they buy a country club?

Yeah, and they were like staying at the country club, like the hotel inside of the country club.

We should rent a country club and do a couple episodes of the commercial break and see how things go. We just get like stockpiled drugs and alcohol. Leave our kids, hide your kids, hide your wife kind of thing, and just make episodes of the commercial break at the highest level of craziness. Yes, TCB gone wild. I'll flash the camera. We'll put that TCB gone wild thing.

Oh, man, if we could only make money on OnlyFans, we wouldn't be here. I do this because I have no choice. There is no OnlyFans option for me. If you would just want to see my penis, then I wouldn't have to do this over and over again. What's up with you guys and girls, mainly, or guys, mainly? I don't know. I don't know. I'm a friend of the gays. What can I say?

There's a drop for you, Christina. I'm a friend of the gays. What can I say? Yeah, so I'll watch that Saturday Night Live documentary, or mockumentary, I guess, and I'll get back to you.

I guess it's a niche, right? That's a niche. And then to gain $43 million doing that niche. I don't know. So then she posted a screenshot of her revenue. So is it bullshit? Will OnlyFans come out and confirm or deny? The drama drop continues. I will keep you posted. Thinking about getting a subscription.

I will. And I am not... watching a lot of Saturday Night Live right now. Astrid watches it, but I'm not watching a lot of Saturday Night Live right now because I just don't have a lot of extra time.

1,000 Pound Sisters is a fantastic show. No replacement for Saturday Night Live, but it's also not on at midnight on Saturday when you have 13 to 15 children. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I do record it, but I don't find myself getting around to it. 1,000 Pound Sisters comes first. Tammy and whatever her name are. They come first. They always will. They're my friends on the TV. Yes.

Both of them have lost a ton of weight. There's no more 1,000 pounds about it. They have lost a ton of weight. And, you know, good. They'll live a couple more years. Tammy, she was really, really sick for a while there. But how did I get on 1,000 Pounds? Oh, because you said 1,000 Pounds Sisters.

Because every time I see a television show, it ends up somehow, you and Jeff are in there watching it, getting wrapped into it.

Okay, you take the kids every Saturday Night Live from 11.30 to 1.30.

I record it. I just told you I can't even watch a movie in four days. How am I supposed to get an hour and a half of Saturday Night Live in every time? The Aves Why Thousand Pound Sisters is great.

Here's why it's great. I'll explain. There is no paying attention to it whatsoever. You can literally tune in and tune out with your brain.

You don't have to hang on every word. But if you're going to watch a comedy skit, you better pay attention because it's likely to be funny at some point and you want to laugh. There is going to be... It's also formulaic, reality television is. It's also formulaic. You know what's going to happen. And it's also written. It's like literally a written show.

So you know there's going to be drama between the sisters. They're going to get into a fight. Then they're going to go on a big trip and everything's going to be fine. And then next season they're going to get into a fight again. And then everything's going to be fine after the production crew flies them to some far-flung location. Right now, the Thousand Pound Sisters are about to go to London.

They're going to go to London. They're going to get on a plane for the first time in their lives, apparently, and go to London. Do you think they come up with that idea? Fuck no, they didn't come up with the idea. They haven't left West Kentucky in their entire lives, and now they're flying to London? It's ridiculous.

Two weeks ago, they met with a genealogy specialist to see if they were related to the Queen of England. It's like the most ridiculous thing ever. But guess what? Who are they? Now, we don't know. Maybe. We couldn't go back that far.

Tune in next week. Let's go to London, because we have to find out if we're... It's so stupid. And guess what? Every single reality show on TLC and everywhere else does the same fucking thing.

OnlyFans. Onlyfans.com.

You get a hit on your hands, you tape some people, and they're doing their lives, and you piece it together, you edit it the right way. That's why I like the first season of any kind of reality show. First season, second season, third season's always good. Fourth season jumps the shark.

I can almost tell you what every My Seven Little Johnstons will be every single week. There's some kind of family dynamic drama. Then we play a game. We do something interesting. We go on a trip. And then the drama gets resolved at the end. And then there's a new drama. Stay tuned next week. Here it comes. That's how it goes. You know why?

Because Brian knows how reality TV goes because I watch entirely too much of it. Saturday Night Live, save me!

I will. Okay, fine.

Well, that's true. It's not that big of a lift. Sprinkle it in.

I will. I will. Then we can talk about that. I want to talk about your yacht rock.

Yeah. Yeah, Yacht Rock is making a comeback.

It's been around here in Atlanta for a long time, though. This is nothing new to us here in Atlanta. Well, there's the band, Yacht Rock. Yeah, but they have made that style of music very popular. It's a whole event. Every time they play, everybody gets together and does the whole ditty. And young people, too. Like, you know, 18, 19, 21 years old.

No, no. It's got to be – there's got to be employees.

He created Yacht Rock. Sailing takes me away to where I want to be. We've been singing this song since season two.

We are ahead of the trend for once. But don't ask me to talk about White House press briefings. Yacht Rock I got. I can't go to the press briefing. All right, tcbpodcast.com.

It is Leonid, I don't know how to say that name, but it looks like Leo with Nid on the end. Leonid Rudvinsky. It was one person. UK-based Ukrainian-American billionaire businessman and computer programmer.

And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Until next time, Chrissy and I always say, we do say, and we must say, goodbye.

He's the majority owner of OnlyFans, and he also is the founder of a campsite called MyFreeCams.

Oh, MyFreeCams. Good for him. Yes, I'm a frequent customer on MyFreeCams.com.

Oh, Guy and Tim.

Guy and Tim, two just regular guys on the street paying their neighbors to get naked. They said, hey, let's make this into a business. God damn, I wish I had one really good idea like that and could actually put it to the test. There was a guy that was, when we were in our clubhouse days, there was a guy who approached me. He had a very similar, yeah, he approached me.

I don't know. He thought that I was going to add some value to this conversation.

He did approach me in a very similar... He said, listen, I've got this subscription-based website that I'm starting to kind of compete with places like Patreon and OnlyFans. And it's only going to be for the elite of the elite, like stars and athletes and people who wanted to – porn stars and stuff like that. I said, oh, okay.

So he said, can we get on a – I know you have a background in internet marketing. Can we get on a phone call? Talk me through your content creation and internet marketing background. Right. So I did. And then I thought to myself, well, if this takes off this guy, you know, maybe I'll hitch a ride on this guy's back. Right.

Maybe I'll ditch that commercial break and clubhouse and get on this guy's coattails. And then I saw the kind of stars he was getting. And it was like a friend of a friend of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

with four followers and it just there was absolutely no steam behind that engine so not the thing about what makes only fans i think such a success story is not only is it a is it a good idea and put to not only is it a good idea that also has a good interface that's easy to use but then it caught the imagination of the collective consciousness at the right time during the pandemic when everybody was looking to whack off i take a dick and keep on exactly

when everybody was looking to get off without getting COVID. So OnlyFans really exploded. And, you know, I've said this about LonelyFans many times.

Sophia Rain.

Sophia Rain. I'm going to ask Astrid if I can get a subscription for show research purposes. That's right. Remember I was talking about that website, that sponsor that was going to come on that was teaching women and men how to give women an orgasm? Yes.

So for research purposes, and I swear to God it was, I was on that site this morning looking at something so I could communicate about the sponsorship and Astrid walked in and she's like, what in the fuck? I said, honey, the kids are at school. I'm just doing a little show research.

So when it says OnlyFans, Sophia Rain, $4 million tip, show research. What? Who gives a $4 million tip? Saudi Arabian prince?

Big oil. Big baby oil.

Big corporate baby oil. That's right. Bitcoin enthusiast. Early investor in Bitcoin, I would say. Yeah. I told you about this guy that I know in Seattle who was buying Bitcoin way back when it just first started. He liked it. He thought it was cool. He thought it was interesting to have Bitcoin, right? Even though at the beginning, there was absolutely no use for it whatsoever.

And the guy had like 500 Bitcoin. Bitcoin went over $100,000 yesterday. I saw that. So he's got, according to sources that I have on the inside, he's got like 350 of those Bitcoin. The guy is like a verified... A millionaire. Cash out. I know. Cash out.

Yeah, you're smart. Yeah, that's why you're not a friend of any casino.

They hate people like you and me because I'm the exact same way. I go to Vegas, I get $500 out of the ATM.

If I start, if I win, I don't always cash out, but I know I've got that $500 to play with. Like Astrid and I went to this place in the Dominican Republic, the Hard Rock in the Dominican Republic.

Yeah, that's right. There's like bands that play there all the time and stuff like that. So we went there. Beautiful resort. Lovely people. Great experience. But they have a casino there. And, you know, it's a casino in the Dominican Republic. It's not Las Vegas, but it's pretty big for, I would say, a hotel or casino in the Dominican Republic.

And we were walking by the slots every day. You have to kind of walk through the casino to get into this little food and beverage area, you know. And so we would walk by and walk by. And then like the third day, I'm like, let's get out 50 bucks and we'll see what happens. We'll throw in the slot machines. And we won like $125. Nice. And so I was like, that's it. Okay, great. Wonderful.

Sophia Rain.

But then every time we walked in or out of the casino, we found ourselves at the ATM really excited that in fact, we could win more than 125 bucks. So we were down like 700 by the time we left. And I was like, that's it. I'm done. I've given them enough of my money.

Sophia Rain is apparently the highest paid OnlyFans actress, I guess? Sex worker? I'm not sure what the appropriate term is.

But that's why I will never have a frequent flyer card at any of those casinos is because I know instinctively that the house always wins. Of course. And I also know instinctively that I'm really dumb with money. Of course. I can be dumb with money in a lot of things. I just don't want to lose it.

I know. I don't.

What's your favorite game to play in a casino?

I guess blackjack. Yeah, me too. Blackjack. But right behind it very closely is the roulette wheel.

That is my... Big money, big money. Yeah, big money. That is my downfall. There was a guy online, I was watching this, like I follow a few gambling people and how they teach you how to like play cards and gamble instead of give you tips. And it was a guy who specializes in table games.

And he was showing you how you can pretty much over the course of some period of time beat the casino every time by betting in this certain pattern on the roulette wheel. But you have to put like 30 chips down in a different place, in different places, every single time, the exact same way every single time. Oh. And so he had a, this guy is so into creating content about table games.

He has the tables at his house and he like hires dealers to show you how to do it. Right. So he's got a little casino in his basement or whatever. So he was showing up.

Content creator.

One time I found like online gambling. I was in Costa Rica and I found like online gambling, you know, because it was legal there at the time. Yeah. And I found this pop up ad for like online roulette. I must have sat there. I mean, $100. I must have sat there for like four hours just gambling on roulette online. And then I thought to myself, what a dumb fucking idea, Brian.

As we are here, but no one's paying to see me naked. Nothing in my butthole. Sophia Raine is being called out by her fellow OnlyFans stars, such as Farrah Abrams of Teen Mom fame.

You know it's rigged inside of the casino. It's clearly rigged on a computer. They're not going to let you win. That's never going to happen. Why are you doing this?

but let's say that I am a single guy with a lot of Bitcoin or I'm very good at gambling and I have amassed a fortune. Uh, I don't know. I have a hundred million dollars to my name. There is no way under any circumstances that someone on only fans will get 4 million of my dollars, like a $50,000 tip.

I think would be enough to, if I think the intended purpose is probably to get the attention of Sophia rain. Yeah. And hopefully he did because that's a huge fucking tip. If indeed it happened. Uh, but there's just no way that I would waste that kind of, you must have no concept of money. If you're spending $4 million on one only fans content creator. And then what are you getting out of that?

Like, I don't, I don't really want it. I don't know if I don't want to know the answer to that. I know Christina, she'd sex. Yes. A blow job. That's what he's getting out of it.

I just also wanted to tell you, it's Sophie rain.

Oh, Sophie rain. Why do I keep on saying Sophia?

I don't know.

I know why I keep on saying Sophia, but I won't say it here, but I'll, I'll share with the ladies of the studio after we get done with this. Um, there's just no way under the sun. I'm giving anybody $4 million.

When you live under a porch for some period of your life, you will never give $4 million as a tip to anybody. Largest tip you've ever given anybody.

The largest tip you've ever given anybody.

Like out of proportion tip. Now, I'm not talking about you go to a dinner, you have a $500 bill and you give them $100 or $110.

Oh, you've done 50%? Yeah. On like a large bill?

Oh, wow.

Astrid, bring the company card. That's right. Do you remember one time that the boss of Clear Channel pulled me aside and started bitching about you and me going to the restaurant on the company card? Oh, yeah. I think one time I went to Waffle House. It was the holidays. We were in Orlando. We were with the family. We were going to the parks and stuff like that.

Do you remember Farrah? Of course. She did the porn movie, then claimed she didn't do the porn movie. Then the porn movie came out, and everyone knew that clearly she did the porn movie. Farrah, who is completely unhinged in my opinion, but that's a story for another day.

It was like for New Year's Eve and for New Year's Day. So everybody went out somewhere. They went shopping. And I took a nap, and then I went to Waffle House to get something to eat for dinner. And the bill was like $17.

by yourself welcome to being a gringo and a venezuelan family that's it that's how it goes yes that's me that's what i do i avoid all communication outside of the studio you know we took a big family vacation everybody else went out i took a nap and went to waffle house okay got it When you have 13 to 15 children, you can understand that you just need a break sometimes from all the drama.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth, Brian. Please put that penis away. I don't know what that is. It's gross. I don't even know what that means in English, but I know in Spanish it means mierda. Shit. Was that Astrid? That was Astrid. Of course it was, yes. Astrid, my love of my life. Brian! It's time to go down to the retirement center again. You're getting a little crazy.

That's right. Let's go get your calcium checked, honey. Come on with me. No chasms for you today or tomorrow. Oh, I've been having chasms with the pool boy. Don't you worry about it. I've got plenty of chasms. I'm all full up.

Now.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What?

What's he doing?

Oh, okay.

You booked me on what?

This is the highlight of my career. Gasms.

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.

10.

You know, I just wrote in the show notes, football, parentheses, barf.

On this episode of The Commercial Break.

My physical therapist was a really big Ohio State fan, so this one's for you, Mark.

I mean, honestly. You should try a 2003 Accord. You should try it.

I have tried it. That's what I own. No, but Carson Beck should try it.

That's what I'm saying. Yeah, rev him down a notch.

The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.

Conyers again.

Okay.

I just can't believe you're Eskimo brothers with Chipper Jones.

Brian might have just said it's time to take a break, but some of us have to work right now. And by work, I mean gently nudge you, nay, beg you to follow us on Instagram at The Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. Because listen, the more followers we get, the more clout I get with Chrissy and Brian.

If you've got something to say, give us a call and leave us a voicemail at 212-433-3TCB or shoot us a text. One more thing, check out our website, tcvpodcast.com, where you can find all of our audio and video and even request a new sticker from the contact us form. Bye.

Yeah, I'm right about that. I think it was also just on their album, though. Yeah, I think so, too. Rascal Flatts, for a minute, everybody loved Rascal Flatts.

Unwell's the network.

I don't know, but I know Unwell is the Call Her Daddy Network.

Chicken Shop Day. What's Chicken Shack? Chicken Shop Date.

I'm off to Glog Shampers through a funnel.

Hey, there you go.

You should.

We'll get to it. It's all good. I got a plan.

Yeah, what does that guy do? TCB Podcast? What is that? Let me see that. Oh.

Oh, it's fantastic.

Wenn jemand Charles und Melanie gesagt hätte, dass sie nach ihrem Tinder-Match gemeinsam einen Channel mit crazy Aufgaben starten, also wirklich crazy, fünf Tage auf einer einsamen Insel verbringen, eine Zipline an einem Gurt runterrasen, eine Million Views knacken, eine Wand mit Saugnäpfen hochklettern und Fallschirmspringen in Ägypten? Das hätten die beiden niemals geglaubt.

Aber das ist das Ding mit Tinder. Es führt dich an Orte, die du nie erwartet hättest. Wohin es dich auch führt. It starts with a swipe. Tinder.

Yeah.

The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.

On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

That's the other thing.

I loved it.

Good to be here.

Yeah.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, there is the talk, the chatter. I would guess, yeah. But I feel bad talking about it.

No, I know.

I've seen some stuff on TikTok about micro-influencers with under 1,000 followers on Instagram, and they do pretty well. They make a good salary.

What are you guys talking about? TLC.

What do you mean you don't know our phone number? I only tell it to you twice a day, four times a week. Fine. If you insist, I will tell it to you again. It's 212-433-3TCB. That's 212-433-3822. And don't you forget it. Now, in case you can't remember, our Instagram handle is at thecommercialbreak. A tough one, I know. And our TikTok handle is at tcbpodcast.

And that one is the same as our website, tcbpodcast.com. And one last thing, go to youtube.com slash thecommercialbreak for all of our video episodes. Got it? Good.

And it's the lyrics to a Sabrina Carpenter song.

Oh, don't you remember last year I had you read the lyrics to A Nonsense Christmas? Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I was listening to it on the way here. Oh, you were. And one of the first lines is like, when he's sliding down my chimney, ooh, it feels so good. Yeah.

She loves Slutty Christmas, which, as you know, is my favorite genre.

Hi, you know what time it is. So let's get to it. Pull that phone out of your pocket and follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok for now, I guess at TCB podcast. You can also find all of our video content that we're filming in our brand new studio at youtube.com slash the commercial break. So check it out and throw us a follow, a like, a comment, whatever you can spare.

If you want to get in touch with us, you can always text us or call us and leave us a voicemail at 212-433-3TCB. Now I have one last request. During the 12 or 263 days of TCB, check out our featured charities and donate to them if you can this holiday season. All right, let's take a listen to our sponsors and get back to the show.

I was just really excited.

Yeah.

Well, is this the Russian one? Oh, maybe I'm wrong. I thought this was going to be the documentary you guys watched about the Russian brides.

Yeah, I just really liked it.

The one that we did for like three days? Yes, I loved those episodes. I was like, give me more commercial break watches, documentaries.

No, I thought we still had 10 more minutes on the clock.

I'm trying. Hang on. I can't remember his name.

I feel very special. I love all of my screens.

Have you got a hankering down deep in your soul to tell us what's up? Well, I am encouraging you to do just that. Text us at 212-433-3TCB and tell us what's going on. Give us the haves. Tell us the dirty secrets of your life. That's all we've ever wanted to hear. You can also leave us a voicemail at the same number. That's 212-433-3822.

And also follow us on Instagram at The Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And if you want to see any video episodes, you can go to youtube.com slash the commercial break and they are all right there. And if your hankering is not to tell us what's up, but it's for a new sticker, I'm sure there's probably one on the website.

Go to tcbpodcast.com, click contact us and find I want my free sticker. I know you can do it. And I can't wait to hear your thoughts on anything and everything. Love you. Bye.

I have a wild idea. Go to our Instagram and follow us at The Commercial Break and then go to our TikTok and follow us there at TCB Podcast. And then go to our YouTube, youtube.com slash The Commercial Break and follow us there. And then text us at 212-433-3TCB and tell us that you followed us on all of those other places. And then go to our website, tcbpodcast.com and... browse, I guess.

Well, those are all the ideas I have for today. So see you tomorrow. Bye.

Nein, wir haben ein paar Shows gemacht.

I mean, you could never be anonymous.

I was bringing up that movie the other day.

I'm feeling good. Yeah?

In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at thecommercialbreak and on TikTok at tcbpodcast and go to our website tcbpodcast.com for more information about Brian and Chrissy and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes.

Now please text us at 212-433-3TCB and tell Brian and Chrissy to let me out of the closet.

And 90 Day.

Yeah, you were the first.

There was a guy that is a paraplegic.

He turned around, he played professional rugby and went to all these other countries. Meanwhile, okay, so yeah, let's just go into talking about him first.

He's been married four times.

I missed that part. Four times! Four? Yes.

Yeah, I caught that.

This will be his fifth if it goes through. No shit. Wow.

I think that's what they said. I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, I know. I know. Plus, they're speaking Portuguese. You have to be watching it.

I do like her.

They're all meeting for the first time face to face on this show. They've been usually started up a video relationship. I guess I think they've been together like four months or something like that before he even went down there. I don't know.

Yeah, he's very independent, but...

Also auch, ich muss zurückgehen, weil in den ersten paar, es könnte der erste oder der zweite Episode gewesen sein, er zeigt ihr, was passieren muss. Und er sagt, dass er ein Kondom benutzen muss, um den Katheter anzunehmen. Oh, I missed that part too. Yeah, so I was like, how did he not have the condom again? Anyways.

There was something about the condom with the catheter.

That was like in the first or second episode.

Number 10 now.

Yeah, then he's not prepared.

Yeah, for a lot of women that's even more intimate than having penetrative sex. So, yeah, so she just wasn't ready and he took it as a rejection, but then he called his sister, his sister said, nah, look, that's a very, very intimate thing and don't take it as a rejection, so.

Oh, the mother, that's right.

Six hours, I think, from like the nearest city or something.

Doesn't eat the dinner with him.

I know. How do they do it?

Do these people write in and say we want to be on here? I'm curious as to this process.

We've never met before in person. Only had this online relationship. But yeah, let's put it out there for the whole world.

How was it? I have a question about this, because I was noting how much I really enjoy the airport meets. Yes. That's always so hopeful. Yes. When they run to each other and can touch and hug and love. I'm curious, what was it like when you guys met in person?

Putting the miles on that new car.

When really in reality you just smell like cigarettes and whatever you're trying to mask.

Und es ist eine echte Sache.

Yeah, you can't manufacture that.

We'll drive around the city.

I know this cute little gas station.

20 miles down the road.

Ich kann es mir nicht vorstellen.

In a shocking turn of events, it's me again, Christina, your producer and resident rom-com lover here at the commercial break. And I just have one thing to say. I'm just a producer standing in front of an audience asking you to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast.

Text us or call us and leave us a voicemail, because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with TCB, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. And while you're at it, go to our website, tcbpodcast.com. But you don't have to, because we like you just as you are. Now, if you immediately got those references, you're my kind of person.

But it's time to take a break and listen to some sponsors, and then we'll get back to the show.

I'm ready to move forward.

Oh, yes. I got caught up on that, too.

A sexual predator.

They talk about that.

Something in the Science Institute?

It is just on a different new age schedule. It is a multi-level marketing scheme.

Weil du so offen warst.

Isn't that what we all want, Chrissy?

I thought the same thing as I was watching it. I thought, you know, whatever people get out of it, okay, great. I mean, if it's doing you good, great. But yeah, like when you're pleading allegiance and just blindly paying all this money to attain this higher state, you don't need to be doing that.

She's even wearing like the headpiece.

I was very young.

Yogi Tea.

We'll see how that played out. Because apparently there was a lot of court drama. It went on for like 20 years. Oh, there was? I don't know that that's actually the case anymore.

I do have to say I got a lot out of it.

I know, right? But the voice is funny.

Well, there's this movement right in South Korea.

Yeah, but they're mirroring that, I think, where it was like, the women in protest are just like giving up.

Lots of people, lots of countries are doing it.

I mean, let's go back to Cleopatra.

Well, it's hard even just to believe that Kamala was the first woman vice president.

I thought about that just a few weeks ago and was like, wait, is that right? Yeah, that's right.

Nein, danke. Du willst nicht Präsident werden?

Astronauts? Astronauts?

Well, I wanted to.

Well, it was a, you know...

Ja, ich dachte, es wäre Spaß. Ich liebe den Raum. Ich liebe den Raum.

I don't care too now, but I did when I was younger.

I was going to say that you just go up and then come back.

Yeah, all the movies, all the movie stuff.

In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at thecommercialbreak and on TikTok at tcbpodcast and go to our website tcbpodcast.com for more information about Brian and Chrissy and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes.

Now please text us at 212-433-3TCB and tell Brian and Chrissy to let me out of the closet.

Chicken Shop Date. Chicken Shop Date rocks. Is Chicken Shop Date an actual show? It's real and it's so awesome.

Yeah, she's been doing it for like 10 years and she has like... Okay, go on a date. Es gibt eine Geschichte online, weil sie eine Red Carpet Interview mit Andrew Garfield machte, die du wahrscheinlich kennst. Sie machte ein Interview mit ihm und sie hatten wahnsinnige Chemie. Es war unglaublich. Jeder war so, oh mein Gott, das ist phänomenal. Und er ging endlich auf einen Chicken Shop Date.

Ja.

How do you follow that?

Duyen.

Bis zum nächsten Mal. Text us or call us and leave us a voicemail because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with TCB, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. And while you're at it, go to our website, tcbpodcast.com. But you don't have to because we like you just as you are. Now, if you immediately got those references, you're my kind of person.

But it's time to take a break and listen to some sponsors and then we'll get back to the show.

Cynthia Erivo.

Well, Wicked has just broken some all-time records in the box office. Okay, talk to me. It's grossed over 264 million internationally so far.

Wow, it just came out.

Yeah, it's been out a week.

So, yeah. But I'm ready to see Gladiator, too.

I loved Gladiator.

I also love Paul Muskell, so I am here.

Idina? Idina Menzel. But there is this meme of, who is it, John Travolta, saying her name as Adele Dazeem.

Oh, you did. Yes, I did. I loved it. I'm a big Wicked girl, though.

Well, I saw it in London one year.

Das war schon lange her. Ja, es war schon lange her. Aber die Musik ist ein großer Teil meiner Musical-Playlist. Oh ja, Baby.

I literally worked out yesterday to the Wicked soundtrack.

And then people came in the gym right at the end of Defying Gravity and I was like, no. No, I want to sing it.

Sorry, I'm actually... I felt the need to mute you. You just did mute me. That one was an accident.

Oh, wow.

I love baked potatoes.

Yes.

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, nice.

I'll stay home alone. Yeah, you're like, perfect. My plot.

Yes.

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.

Merry Christmas to you and your balls. And cheers to you and your kitten.

No, honestly, it came to me in a dream.

It came to me in a dream one night, and I said, I must have another one, and her name is Myrtle.

Made it happen. Yeah, and here we are.

Okay.

Oh my God, yeah. This is crazy. No, I think she sucks. The racist stuff is just really, really grinds my gears. She's looking at this young black woman and she's like, yep, these three guys you know that have died, they've got something shaved in their head. I'm like, you bitch.

Oh, fuck no.

Yeah.

Leave him alone.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're your neighbors.

Yeah.

Yes.

The health department.

Yes.

Yeah.

That's almost us.

Yeah, boy!

Go watch it on TV.

Yeah, I know. Yeah.

I was asking.

Yeah, I mean, if you're not cold, fine.

This is my Christmas tree. Does anyone else think it's pretty?

Ja.

Ja.

Ja.

Well, then there you go.

Sophie Rain doesn't need any more money.

It's real. Please help us make money before we die. Ich meine, ist das nicht einfach furchtbar?

Throw Brian in there and Wabam. Shadowban for no reason. Half a percent engagement rate. You'll go nowhere, my friend. Wabam. Algorithm dooms you to no money and unpopularity.

One out of five stars.

Well, I read an article. Is that how it works?

Ich habe Keynoten gesprochen, viele, viele Events. Die Commercial Breaks.

Asshole! That's why girls in bikinis are so popular. Brian gets all the views.

Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene, this is the JoJo to my Brittany, Chris and Joy. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian.

Okay.

I was like, well, I'm not surprised. This is the first time you've seen a vagina, sir.

I just need to point out for everyone, just so you guys know, the screen is really close to my face. And I just need to report this to HR.

She's like, hell no, I'm not doing naked. Doesn't seem like there's much on her. Oh, she... Hold up. Someone has been replaced at some point in time.

She's just done a lot of hosting. She did a sex education show.

I thought there were like four uncircumcised.

I thought it said other way.

Split me.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to hear more of other people's drama. So help a girl out and tell us your drama at 212-433-3822. You can text it, or if it's extra juicy, leave us a voicemail with the full story. And don't forget to follow us on Instagram at thecommercialbreak and on TikTok at tcbpodcast. And watch our video episodes at youtube.com slash thecommercialbreak.

But also, you can find everything I just mentioned and more on our website, tcbpodcast.com. Okay, let's listen to our sponsors and send us your drama.

No, it looks like a cartoon character. But I think it looks like he's in the process of getting it removed.

This is the worst day of my life.

Turns out, fully gay.

Screw you, Keanu. I feel physically ill.

When they do the butt zoom in, it's horrible.

Join the club. We all love Keanu.

Keanu's my perfect little prince.

He's my little prince.

Yeah, you're damn right I would.

He's 60.

Yeah. He's 60? Yeah. And I don't think he's married.

You're 60 and you look like that? Uh-huh.

She's an artist.

Alexandra Grant.

I mean, nine years, age appropriate.

At 60 it's fine, at 20 it's not.

I've lived here forever.

I did.

He would have made $250 million by accepting a role in Avatar.

But he couldn't betray his Jason Bourne family. Oh, yeah. He was in all those. Hold up. Hold up.

Okay. Matt Damon's decision to turn down James Cameron's 2009 space epic Avatar, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, remains one of the more infamous casting what ifs of recent blockbuster history. He turned down the film despite an offer that included receiving 10% of the box office back end, which would have meant a $250 million payday for him.

I think he's doing okay, though.

Yeah.

Right On in 2023. Well, Right On in 2023?

Hang on. Karate Kid Legends 2025. Oh, okay.

We all saw it. Still moving and grooving.

She puts on a busty display. That's what I'm saying.

Sorry.

Now I'm just Googling Grace. Grace O'Malley, Barstool.

November 23rd, recently. So that's what I was thinking.

Yeah, I sent that to you.

I'd like to read it.

I don't think there is any situation where it is appropriate for a man to read me a poem. Oh, really? Unless I am at a poet's wedding.

Despite my snafu earlier. It's okay.

Christina, you have the European... No one knows this. I was embarrassed that none of us knew what temperature water boils at.

212.

I've never even seen it.

Oh, wow. I know that's weird. Where do you live? I've never seen it. Where did you grow up? Scotland. Same place we are right now.

No, no. I think just because it wasn't part of my parents' culture. It was very American. So I think it's just one of those things that we never really would have watched. But I did watch the Christmas special of The Singing Kettle.

It's a British children's sing-along TV show. Oh, okay. It's a live performance, though. It's cool.

No, with people.

Yeah, they do a sing-along show, like a singing show. Okay. It's like, spout, handle, lid of metal, what's inside the singing kettle?

Okay, now I'm seeing it. It has some great classic hits like You Canny Shove Your Granny Off a Bus.

Which is a good song.

No, you can't. But the song goes, you can shove your dad's mom off a bus, I think. But you can't shove your mom's mom off a bus.

And then every time after you say, like, you can't shove your granny off a bus, you go, push, push.

Isn't that silly?

He looks like Mr. Tumnus. Yeah. He's wearing some, I don't know, he's covered in mud or something. It looks like fur bottoms.

That movie is incredible. Is it really? I love it. Never seen it. It's in my top five Christmas movies.

That's a good one.

This is like one of the first times I've actually seen the video. Yeah. I was giggling. Oh, yeah. This is funny, isn't it? It's quite entertaining.

I don't think it was a red rocket. Exactly.

Yeah, I know. Santa. What?

I thought that was Tom Hanks.

Oh, he's Woody. Yeah, he's Woody. My bad.

I was trying to be discreet. No, it's okay.

Have you seen this movie? Actually, I hate that movie. You hate that movie. Surprise. The hair and makeup was atrocious.

Yes. It's the hair and makeup we have a problem with. They did her so dirty.

Yeah.

No, but I've heard really great things about it.
