With the largest annual gathering of spiritually advanced human beings set to take place in the middle of the desert just weeks from now, Burning Man attendees from all over the world have just one question on their minds.

22.802 - 40.913 Unknown

How in the world will I get through an entire long weekend without portable air conditioning, a fully stocked bar, gourmet food options, private air travel, and the best drugs money can buy? Well, worry no more. From the makers of Why Brian 3000 comes the Taint Tent 2.0.

41.234 - 66.542 Unknown

The Taint Tent is a portable 5,000 square foot inflatable luxury condominium that allows you to enjoy the comforts of home while communing with crypto bros, star seed children, middle-aged podcasters. Mostly naked influencers, EDM burnouts, nepo babies, wannabe Hollywood starlets, that bartender from the local pub named Winkle Breath, and rich naked hippies from all across Silicon Valley.

You'll be dropping your high quality ecstasy and smoking DMT right from a sacred Indian desert toad in style. Don't ever let your high-octane Peruvian marching powder get warm and moist again. Each Tate Tent 2.0 comes with its own dehumidifying refrigerator to keep your cocaine clean, dry, and cool.

86.174 - 106.426 Unknown

And who wants to be bothered with all the chores like taking out the trash, cooking your own food, or making your own king-size luxury bed? While you're trying to find the meaning of life in the high desert, you'll have at least 10 underpaid, non-domesticated workers to answer at your beck and call. No need to worry about immigration raids here. You're rich and powerful.

198.388 - 235.187 Bryan Green

They're bringing in the big guns. Yes. Post Malone, Noah Kahn, Kamiya Cabello, and Jimmy Fallon were in attendance to entertain the good folks of Walmart, starting at 8 a.m. in the morning.

237.26 - 244.909 Bryan Green

Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green, this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chrissy Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy.

0

244.929 - 245.65 Chrissy Hoadley

Best to you, Brian.

0

245.67 - 251.757 Bryan Green

And best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. I got some schmutz in my throat.

Chapter 4: How does Walmart's podcast studio initiative impact content creation?

252.277 - 253.559 Chrissy Hoadley

I know, I've had it in mine.

0

253.579 - 258.244 Bryan Green

Yeah, every time you walk into the studio, you start coughing. I know. Yeah, maybe it's the studio.

0

258.364 - 259.926 Chrissy Hoadley

Maybe it is.

0

261.037 - 284.441 Bryan Green

Maybe all the years of wires and God knows what else in here. It's time for a change of scenery. It is time for a change of scenery. Just let you know that Chrissy and I will soon be doing some in-person recordings with some of our guests. Thanks to the good people at Odyssey. Odyssey is our network. They essentially... They handle a lot of stuff on our behalf.

0

284.501 - 288.807 Bryan Green

But, you know, when you're a podcast, you can't do everything, although we try. You can't do everything.

Chapter 5: What are the after-hours activities at the Walmart Associates Gathering?

288.827 - 303.548 Bryan Green

And so they do some of the business stuff for us, including, you know, find sponsors and put them into the show and all that. But they're wonderful people, all of them. And Odyssey has hundreds of local radio stations across the country or maybe thousands. I'm not sure.

0

303.528 - 320.313 Bryan Green

They have one here in Atlanta, and they have offered the use of their studios, their professional studios, for Chrissy and I to host people in person. So we're going to be starting that in July. We'll be in person. And so here's what I want to say.

0

320.373 - 323.117 Chrissy Hoadley

God, it's been a long time since I've stepped into a radio studio.

0

323.137 - 339.302 Bryan Green

It's going to be really weird. It's going to be really weird. You know, we got a video last night from one of the operations people saying, And, yeah, just looking at the video made me feel weird. I know. Because there are some similarities.

Chapter 6: How does Walmart celebrate its employees during Shareholder Week?

339.442 - 340.042 Unknown

There's some PTSD there.

0

340.223 - 347.171 Bryan Green

There is some PTSD there. I just hope we don't run into anybody we used to work with. I know. Yeah. Like you two idiots?

0

347.291 - 350.374 Chrissy Hoadley

Well, I think we do know a good friend.

0

350.454 - 355.42 Bryan Green

Okay, but those people we know and we like, right? I hope we don't run into anybody we don't like. How's that?

0

355.44 - 355.54

Yeah.

355.958 - 366.898 Bryan Green

Anybody that made our radio experience so miserable, I hope they're long gone out of this town and not at Odyssey. I don't think they are. And the people at Odyssey are great. So maybe we'll give them a pass if they are with Odyssey.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges faced by Walmart employees regarding pay and benefits?

367.899 - 389.257 Bryan Green

But here's why I bring this up. I think in the future, not anytime soon, but I think in the future, there may be an opportunity for people who live close to see us record in person. So do us a favor, 212-4255. 433-3TCB, 212-433-3822. If you live like within an hour of the Atlanta area, let us know and we'll start putting a list together.

0

389.297 - 408.632 Bryan Green

And if that happens, if it comes to fruition, if we're allowed to do it, if we decide to do it, we'll pull out that list and we'll start emailing. So 212-433-3TCB. Let us know you're interested. And seeing a live taping of the commercial break. Also, we're going to be doing that on Twitch and kick. And we'll start that probably in July at some point, too. So stay tuned.

0

408.652 - 417.027 Bryan Green

Follow us at the commercial break on Instagram. If you would, if you could, if you don't mind. So one of the weirdest things I've seen in podcasting in a long time, I found this morning.

Chapter 8: What are the wild stories shared about Walmart Associates Week?

417.047 - 438.483 Bryan Green

I passed it around. This is crazy. And this parlays into another topic I want to talk about. So there is a guy here in Atlanta who claims to be the podcast guru, you know, launch your podcast, whatever, with a million and a half Instagram followers. Mm hmm. But, you know, like sidetrack just for one second.

0

438.503 - 443.752 Bryan Green

Chrissy sent me this article the other day and she's like, oh, I guess now they're just telling you where to find fake followers.

0

444.213 - 444.353 Unknown

Mm hmm.

0

444.333 - 453.868 Bryan Green

Chrissy sent me this article that it appeared that it was from the AJC or an adjunct like, you know, the AJC can own these smaller newspapers around town or business.

0

454.048 - 456.132 Chrissy Hoadley

Rough Draft or something was the name of it.

456.152 - 473.858 Bryan Green

Something. Yeah. And she sends it to me. It takes a keen eye, but you would realize that this is really just an advertorial, which means that it's. It looks like it's a real article, but what it really is is an advertisement for a service where you can buy fake followers. And it's giving you the pros and cons to buying fake followers.

473.938 - 489.515 Bryan Green

Like, oh, if you're a business, then juicing your followers could lend some credibility. If I thought that was true, I would have done that a long time ago. No, because fake followers are only going to get you so far. People are going to realize they're fake followers, and then they're not going to want to follow you because you have a bunch of fake followers.

489.536 - 511.195 Bryan Green

I'd rather have 7,000 real followers than 7 million fake followers. I mean, let's be real. I'd rather have 7 million any followers, but I'd rather have 7,000 real followers because at least we know that, you know, they're out there somewhere. And, you know, it is what it is. Okay, we have 7,000 followers. So pathetic.

511.175 - 532.625 Bryan Green

Tens of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of listeners, and only 7,000 of them could see fit to go to Instagram, which I know you have, to go to Instagram and press follow. Please do that. And that's the only way you're going to find out if we do special stuff like live recordings at Odyssey or on Kik or Twitch. So go follow us, please.
