Description

EP #751: Bryan and Krissy review the proliferation of Alien Light Ladies (and guys) across the socials. It seems every other reel is talking in tongues and selling a course on aligning your inner star child! In this wide-ranging, off-the-rails episode of The Commercial Break, Bryan and Krissy start with preschool graduations and end up in the intergalactic rabbit hole of light language influencers. Buckle up. More About EP751: Bryan opens with a hilariously detailed recap of attending a preschool “graduation” where kids practiced their choreography for months… only to immediately collapse, cry, strip, or play dead the moment they hit the stage. Krissy and Bryan swap stories about the madness of modern school ceremonies, audience weirdos, and what happens when parents start crisscross-applesaucing in a sweaty multipurpose room. But halfway through, the episode swerves hard into the stratosphere—literally. Bryan introduces a new obsession: a subculture of TikTok and Instagram influencers claiming to speak alien light languages. These spiritual content creators, often scantily clad and surrounded by rose petals, offer $10,000 courses to “activate your Palladian power” and speak in made-up cosmic tongues. Bryan and Krissy watch and roast a collection of these videos in real time, trying to decode phrases like “divine abundance,” “sacred soul blueprint,” and “cosmic wealth activation”—and trying even harder not to cry from laughing.

On this episode of the Commercial Break.

71.031 - 76.853 Bryan Green

Some of them are Palladians. Some of them are more generic alien light language girls. Yes. The Palladians.

76.893 - 78.674 Bryan Green

But the Palladians is a species of aliens?

78.694 - 85.537 Bryan Green

It's a species of aliens. And they believe that they've been dropped down here on Earth. And they've co-mingled, co-mated with humans.

85.677 - 86.978 Rachel McGrath

Okay. That's how the hybrids happen.

Chapter 2: What is the phenomenon of Alien Light Ladies?

762.905 - 780.88 Bryan Green

There's plenty of chairs like let's make sure that everyone can take a seat. And so I go over there. I'm not necessarily directing traffic, but kind of directing traffic. Right. And these seats are they're wooden and they're really heavy. So I'm pulling one. I give it to a guy. I pull one. I give him a second chair, two chairs. That's good. You're good. Two chairs. It's a very heavy thing.

0

782.04 - 808.122 Bryan Green

Meanwhile, I don't know, Biff Johnson comes over and he's like, I'm just going to get the stack. It's like five chairs. And I go, oh, okay, all right, go for that. Literally cannot move the stack one inch. He's like... He's trying. He's trying too hard for too long because now he knows kind of what a dum-dum he looks like. Yeah, like, okay, bro.

0

823.712 - 823.952 Tim Ferriss

Okay.

0

824.292 - 825.053 Bryan Green

Do it your way.

0

825.493 - 826.594 Bryan Green

Yeah. So, okay.

826.614 - 837.242 Bryan Green

There are wooden chairs, though. I'm kind of hung up on this for a minute because I remember in school having like, you know, the small like plastic ones with the butt carve out and like some metal legs.

837.902 - 858.275 Bryan Green

I don't want to give away too much because I care about the safety of my family and I don't know who's out there listening. Yeah. But the hall is a place where very nice wooden chairs would be appropriate. Let's put it that way. Like nice, solid wooden chairs. So these aren't like the kids' chairs? No, no, no, no, no.

858.655 - 859.495 Bryan Green

Oh, I was thinking.

859.535 - 868.757 Bryan Green

The school is on one side of the building, and on the other side of the building, it's used for something completely different. But once or twice a year, the school.

Chapter 3: How do modern school ceremonies differ from the past?

Chapter 4: What are the traits of Palladian aliens according to influencers?

826.614 - 837.242 Bryan Green

There are wooden chairs, though. I'm kind of hung up on this for a minute because I remember in school having like, you know, the small like plastic ones with the butt carve out and like some metal legs.

0

868.777 - 871.098 Bryan Green

I'm picturing a school and like the kids' chairs.

871.138 - 875.739 Bryan Green

No, no, no, no. Like stacks of kids' chairs. The school does have kids' chairs, but this place has wooden chairs. Right.

875.979 - 878.021 Bryan Green

Nice wooden chairs for those kids.

878.522 - 901.204 Bryan Green

Right. So I, so I grab, then, okay, now we've, I think we've got enough chairs for two rows. I grab two chairs. I go walk over there. And that same guy is just like standing in the middle of this, like the row that I have to get by to put these chairs down. Yeah. And I'm standing there looking at him and he's standing there looking at me and I go, oh, excuse me.

901.344 - 923.678 Bryan Green

Can you, you know, Chrissy, he didn't even like didn't even acknowledge on his face that he had heard what I'd said. But he's like looking directly at me. I know he's not deaf because we just had a conversation like I'm I don't know what's going on. So he doesn't move. Another guy recognizes what's going on here, walks around the guy and says, hand me the chair.

Chapter 5: Why do some TikTokers sell courses on 'cosmic wealth activation'?

1073.458 - 1084.626 Bryan Green

Not one that warranted an entire restaurant in Manhattan, but an interesting idea nonetheless. That's a college town kind of thing. If you did that in a college town, you'd probably never go out of business.

0

1084.646 - 1085.167 Rachel McGrath

That's true.

0

1085.447 - 1108.637 Bryan Green

All right, so party's over. Everyone's done. Thank you very much. You know, tears and happiness, mainly because it's done, and now we get to go home. And by the way, my kids killed it. They killed it. They danced. They sang. They knew their motions. They knew their movements. I was really proud of them. But this is also not their first rodeo doing this, so I think they were prepped for this.

0

1110.646 - 1132.012 Bryan Green

So we get done and then the same Biff Henderson all of a sudden – Biff. Yeah. By the way, I'm standing in the front. So when it's over, the front where I'm standing gets very crowded because now this is the open space. So now everybody has crowded the open space to get their kids, to say goodbye to their friends, have a happy summer. Thank you, the teachers, all this other stuff.

0

1132.032 - 1148.337 Bryan Green

So it's very crowded where I am. And I understand that. I'm just trying to kind of like maneuver to get out. But I'm not going anywhere because no one's going anywhere. And then all of a sudden I notice right behind me, and I mean like breathing down my neck, is Biff Henderson. The same guy who was standing in the middle.

1148.357 - 1150.559 Rachel McGrath

Your nemesis at the ceremony.

1150.599 - 1170.951 Bryan Green

Yeah, my nemesis at the ceremony. And now I'm like, do we have a thing here? But I don't know because I'm not man enough to know. I don't have that kind of vibe. But I do wonder, do we have a thing here? Should I be worried that he's going to snap my neck from behind? Is this Jean-Claude Van Damme film? Do I need to stand up on the chair? Bloodsport. Bloodsport.

1170.971 - 1191.0 Bryan Green

Do I need to grab one of these heavy wooden chairs and just... Hit him over the head with it. I don't know. And I'm a little bit nervous that now I've got this guy just literally drooling down the back of my hairline. And so I think to myself, geez, you know, just give me a little bit of room, buddy. He's got like his chest up against my back. And I'm like, it's not that tight in here.

1191.02 - 1194.462 Bryan Green

You've been hitting from all sides, the back, the front, your legs.

Chapter 6: What absurdities occur during preschool performances?

1686.351 - 1707.54 Bryan Green

Okay. Well, in the non-sexual way, like us finding a mate. Let's put it that way. Finding a mate. When you're doing that, when you're trying to attract yourself to somebody or you're attracted to somebody, you want to be in your universe and you see potential in the situation. Yeah. you are definitely not going to be 100% the person you are behind closed doors.

0

1708.14 - 1726.577 Bryan Green

Because let's be honest about it, the person you are behind closed doors, maybe even in very long marriages, sometimes is just a little bit different. No one can be in your mind. No one can know you exactly for who you are in your perspective every single moment of every single day. People can come close. I think I know Astrid pretty well. I think she knows me pretty well.

0

1726.597 - 1743.794 Bryan Green

Does she know every single thing about me that I ever think, that I ever want, that I ever desire? No, she doesn't. Because if she did, then Dua Lipa would be on this show. But the reality for a lot of... I think she knows about Dua Lipa. I think she knows about Dua Lipa, but she still hasn't gotten Dua Lipa to come on the show.

0

1743.814 - 1745.175 Bryan Green

Well, that's a hard ask.

0

1745.556 - 1746.016 Bryan Green

It's A!

1747.6 - 1758.647 Tom

We had... I don't know if we're at that level. Tom Papa on the show. Why not Dua Lipa?

1760.288 - 1773.093 Bryan Green

I think we put our best foot forward because that is what we are doing. That's in our DNA. That's what we do. We do a mating dance. Just like those birds that have pretty feathers or baboons.

1773.173 - 1774.273 Bryan Green

I love watching those shows.

1774.373 - 1776.735 Bryan Green

Butts get all pink and red and rosy, right?
