Transcription

Chapter 1: What does it mean to be an 'Oracle's Oracle'?

0.301 - 24.064 Unknown

On this episode of the Commercial Break...

25.023 - 28.207 Bryan Green

I am an oracle oracle, if you don't mind. An oracle oracle.

28.507 - 50.153 Unknown

Whabam! Brian knows shit from Shinola. Did you buy the stock? No, I forgot to. Whabam! Still an idiot. Did you short the stock? No. Still a moron. Whabam! The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.

Welcome back to the commercial break.

Chapter 2: How are Super Bowl commercials evolving with AI?

57.673 - 63.701 Chris Hoadley

I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian.

0

63.821 - 77.457 Bryan Green

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. Here we are just reading that the Super Bowl commercials have reached an eye-watering $8 million for 30 seconds of airtime.

0

77.437 - 78.399 Chris Hoadley

That's incredible.

0

78.419 - 86.253 Bryan Green

And that Fox does expect that a large chunk of the 10 advertisers that have now agreed to that crazy rate are going to be AI commercials.

0

87.595 - 101.74 Unknown

What I am. The quantum computing. Quantum computing. It's very exciting. It's very exciting to spend 8 million of my dollars on showing you just how shitty I can be. What I am.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Times Square billboards in marketing?

102.344 - 112.002 Bryan Green

Come on, $8 million. There is a panic in the market right now because China has released Deep Seeker.

0

112.323 - 113.205 Chris Hoadley

Yeah, Deep Seeker.

0

113.265 - 115.048 Bryan Green

Or Deep Seeker, Deep Seeker. I don't know what it is.

0

115.108 - 121.821 Unknown

Deep Seeker, who cares? It's going to steal all your information and track and monitor your behavior.

0

121.953 - 144.889 Bryan Green

I couldn't get onto it. I tried to actually make an account. Oh, you did? It refused to let me make an account for some reason or another. You can be in the United States and have it. So all of these companies, from Oracle to NVIDIA to Microsoft to Google to, you know, Chat, GPT, which is mostly owned by Microsoft, all of them are...

144.869 - 164.841 Bryan Green

Sucking up resources, hundreds of billions of dollars, large server farms, electricity left and right to make their AIs learn, whatever that means. And Deep Seek goes out and for, quote unquote, a mere $8 million gets it all done.

Chapter 4: What is the latest trend involving 'Ice Penis'?

165.101 - 186.267 Bryan Green

Yeah. Now, I read an article that's a little bit misleading, that that's the second version of it cost $8 million to learn, but the first version cost a lot more money. But I think that maybe the AI bubble is about to burst, as I predicted it would. You did. I am a business oracle, if you will. I am an oracle oracle, if you don't mind. An oracle oracle.

0

186.247 - 204.053 Unknown

Brian knows shit from Shinola. Did you buy the stock? No, I forgot to. Still an idiot. Did you short the stock? No. Still a moron. Still broke.

Chapter 5: How does Bryan's perspective on Logan Paul change?

205.836 - 213.287 Unknown

You take a little insight and you put in some bad investments and then you throw in the commercial break. On the verge of bankruptcy.

0
0

215.221 - 217.024 Unknown

There you go. There it is.

0

217.044 - 220.631 Chris Hoadley

So you're telling me we will not be buying a spot in the Super Bowl.

0

220.671 - 249.194 Bryan Green

I am telling you it's highly unlikely that the commercial break is going to show up. I was hoping maybe Odyssey would front the money for it. But I think they just got out of their virtue. They just got out of bankruptcy. But they're doing good. They're doing well. They went in and out of bankruptcy in like a day. They did. So no commercial breaks on the commercial breaks for anybody.

Chapter 6: What are the challenges faced by '90 Day Fiancé' participants?

249.214 - 266.639 Bryan Green

But that would be incredible. Of all the genius marketing ideas I've ever had, I think that would be one that we could probably bet that we would get new listeners because of a Super Bowl commercial. And what would the Super Bowl commercial be? I don't know. Would it be me talking about penises? Maybe cocaine?

0

269.526 - 270.969 Chris Hoadley

It would get some people's attention.

0

271.07 - 275.861 Bryan Green

It would get everybody's attention, especially people who know us. They'd be like, what?

0

277.104 - 279.028 Unknown

Those two fucking morons?

0

280.426 - 302.162 Bryan Green

It's like, you know, I have a lot of friends that I don't know why this has become such a thing. I think my belief is because it has become incredibly easy and relatively cheap to do. But I can't tell you how many of my Instagram friends have shown up for their business or for their podcast or whatever. With a sign, with a billboard in Times Square. What?

Chapter 7: Why is the 'Wrap Up Show' format considered excessive?

302.442 - 322.062 Bryan Green

Yes. Like 10 people I know have made an Instagram post in Times Square pointing to their billboard in Times Square. Is it real? It's real. It's absolutely real. So this makes me believe it's not as expensive as it used to be to be on the Times Square billboard. But they're also all digital. So it happens in such a flash.

0

322.182 - 323.443 Chris Hoadley

They move quickly.

0

324.031 - 326.074 Bryan Green

Yeah, just like that time Brian bought digital billboards.

0

326.094 - 327.295 Chris Hoadley

I remember.

0

327.476 - 333.123 Bryan Green

I'd play them for five seconds on Rodeo Drive.

334.004 - 336.708 Chris Hoadley

And it was the height of COVID when no one was driving.

336.748 - 339.632 Bryan Green

No one was driving. That's why I could afford it.

Chapter 8: What insights does Bryan share about parenting and school events?

339.772 - 364.22 Bryan Green

I thought to myself, if someone's walking down the street at 3.36 in the morning... They're going to clearly check out the commercial break. And the tagline was, the commercial break, a break from reality. Oh, okay. All right. Let me tune right in. No pictures, no nothing. Just words. It was just words. The commercial break, a break from reality. Now, we did do billboards in like Iowa.

0

364.24 - 384.53 Bryan Green

And believe it or not, we could tell because we had absolutely no traffic whatsoever. We did get a few people who listened to us in Iowa. But I could afford to buy like a couple hours on a billboard in Iowa. It was like $10 or something. But I have all these friends who show up on these billboards in Times Square, like Roy Wood Jr. I can understand that. He had a Hulu special.

0

384.57 - 407.733 Bryan Green

Hulu's going to foot the bill for that. And he's probably on the billboard for like a couple of days. But then I, you know, I don't want to say his name, but there's a guy who we know on Instagram. And let me, I'll share with you his personality trait and then you'll know it. Yeah, man. Yeah, absolutely. Recorded that with Foreigner. Oh, yes. Hey, everybody.

0

408.614 - 428.98 Bryan Green

Just here talking to my very famous friends, even though there's no one in the room. Just here chatting with my very famous friends. Yeah, I was just recording a new album for Michael Jackson's estate and talking to the engineer and I thought I'd hop into Instagram. This guy will interrupt every time he does an Instagram reel. He's interrupting another one of his conversations.

0

428.96 - 429.26 Chris Hoadley

Yes.

429.601 - 452.136 Bryan Green

If it's me, I'm probably just waiting till the conversation is over to start recording the reel. But not him. He wants you to know how important he is. And he's interrupting himself to get on and make sure he gets this urgent message to his fans. Yeah. Yeah. To which he'll be like, you know, I'm playing. I'm playing in Wichita, Kansas. Anyway, he had a billboard. Really?

452.437 - 452.537

Yeah.

453.125 - 473.081 Bryan Green

Yes. And he's like, you know, with some he had some saying on the bottom, like a motivational quote, like, you know, you can dream it. You can do it. Just get to it. You know, it's like, oh, OK. All right. How much did that cost you? But the question I had for this particular guy is what exactly are you promoting? I don't know. Like your Instagram.

473.341 - 476.928 Chris Hoadley

Didn't he do something with a arena or something?
