Who are the hosts and what are their New Year's Eve traditions?
I'm off to gloak shampers through a funnel.
You're off and out. On this episode of the Commercial Break. What did you regret in 2020 for this one?
I'm hoping we'll be introspective.
Oh, okay. Let me see.
But Chrissy says no. It's going to be Teresa Caputo.
I said that Jeff and I didn't cook naked enough.
Oh, there you go.
Hey, that's a good one.
That is a good one. 2025 goals. That is a good one. And when you guys cook naked, please videotape it. I'll Instagram it for you since you don't like to do that. I'll put it up there and I'll even put little blurbs. I'll blur it out for you.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Yeah, boy!
Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Dick Clark to my Ryan Seacrest, Kristen Joy Odley. Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. And Happy New Year's Eve to you. Happy New Year's Eve.
The countdown is ticking.
The countdown will be ticking. Stay tuned because at the end of this episode, we will do a countdown for you. So if you want to, like Pink Floyd and Wizard of Oz, you can sync up your countdown with our countdown and everything will be wonderful in the world. Who are you going to watch on New Year's Eve, Chrissy?
I usually watch Andy. You watch Andy.
You go Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper. I go, I choose Miley Cyrus. That's just me. I switch back and forth a little bit. Yeah, I like Miley. I think Miley's got a thing going that I'm into.
Is she again this year?
Don't know, but I imagine. Right. I think it went so disastrously wrong the first year with Pete Davidson that how could you look away? Yeah. And then year, I think they did it last year, didn't they?
I think so.
I think they did it last year.
What unique Venezuelan New Year's traditions are discussed?
I think Dolly was involved maybe too.
Dolly Parton was involved. I think Pete took a break for rehab. Yeah. And a show in Conyers, Georgia. Right. And then, yeah, I like Ryan and I like Andy. I like both of them. I think they're good. But since they stopped drinking, you know, it's not as interesting. Is it? I thought that they weren't allowed to drink. I thought they told them no more drinking.
Well, they got a little crazy with it. They're allowed again, though.
They're allowed again? I think people demanded it. Well, fine. Finally, CNN coming to their senses. Doing something to improve the ratings over there at CNN. What a fucking train wreck that channel has become, honestly.
I haven't even watched.
I mean, Anderson Cooper is the only reason to watch, if we're being real about it. Anderson Cooper, I think, is the only interesting one that's still over there. But anyway, and of course, you know, Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark Productions is the sentimental favorite because that's what I've been watching since I was a child. My grandmother, we would always spend New Year's Eve with my grandma, Green, on my dad's side, my dad's mom. And while I think my dad would argue that He wasn't her biggest fan. I always enjoyed being around my Grandma Green because she always made it a big deal to be at her house. Yeah. And I've told you this. She had this house in Melrose Park, Illinois, in Chicago. And in this house, it had a basement, like a lot of houses in Chicago do.
And in this basement was a bar. And we're not talking about a bar like most people have a bar. They've got a little nook with a couple of bottles and glasses on it. We are talking a full cheers bar downstairs in the basement with cocktail tables and a TV and things hanging on the wall and a little fireplace. You could literally belly up to this bar. And there could be a bartender back there serving you drinks.
I love that.
And they had all kinds of booze and beers and everything. So when my grandfather was alive, apparently this was the place to go for Smokey Bones and, you know, Guns Magoo and Fishneck Rogers. You know, all these gangsters that used to live in Melrose Park, all these Italian guys used to come over and drink at my grandfather's. bar my grandfather of course was irish at the speakeasy that's right at the speak even though it was legal to drink but you know still they had their neighborhood little bar and they would come down there and they would have parties so when my grandfather passed away when i was very young my grandma took it upon herself to take us for new year's eve so that my parents could go out and we would go to party city the party place down the street my grandma would let us spend some loot
