Chapter 1: What societal fears do Bryan and Krissy discuss in relation to love?
No creature on earth, except for my dog, is ever going to control me.
On this episode of the Commercial Break.
A week before Astrid gets here, I walk outside of that house I had down in East Atlanta. And I go, I just can't. I just can't bring that thing up there. That was a good call. That's when you got the other car. I got a Kia. A brand new Kia. You did. I came over one day and I was like, ah, you got a new car.
Because I'm like, in six days, this woman that I love is going to show up and I can't impress her. When there's no passenger seat for her to sit in.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
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, Kristen Joy Holdley. Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. All right. We've had a weekend to lick our wounds and... Drink? How are you feeling? How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good. Yeah? Yeah, I'm feeling okay.

Chapter 2: How does the recent election influence the hosts' perspectives?
Where is Trump? I mean, the same shit that happened in 2020 is now happening on the other side of the aisle, claiming the election was stolen. Look at the, you know, they're still sending out these fucking fundraising text messages.
Are you getting them?
I've gotten like 30 of them. Hey, Democrats still have a chance to win the House. Can you send $5 and secure the election? And I'm like, how in the world is this going to help now? Haven't people already voted? Where's my $5?
Some smart human being that had way too much time on their hands read on the very bottom of one of these fundraising emails that the money could go toward a recount of elections. What? And so now there is a conspiracy theory running around that Kamala is secretly, and her team are secretly...
going to go and ask for a recount of the election because elon starling stole you know change votes in california or something like that i don't know but i don't think elon star i listen i am open just like in 2020 i am open to any evidence you may present of shenanigans But you can't have it both ways.
We can't say yet the election was the securest in history and then also say it was stolen when it's not in our favor. So I'm open. I'm open. But so far, I have not seen any reputable news put forward that the election was stolen. Chrissy's ready to move on. So tell Kamala, Chrissy's ready to move on. It's over with. Chrissy has spoke.
I'm ready to move forward.
Oh, move forward.
That's a better way to say it.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Monday Morning Misogyny mentioned?
This like sad realization that maybe my fellow Americans, most of them, are not ready or not willing or not able to punch the button for a female candidate.
I think that's part of it.
I think that is part of it. And that's sad. I don't get it.
Yeah, I didn't realize we were still there, but I guess we are.
You know, I don't know. Maybe it's because I was a mama's boy. Maybe it's because I like tits. I don't know really why I am like this, but I really am enamored with the female form. I just think they're the fairer of the sexes. And quite frankly, I think y'all would do a great job of leading this country. I mean, we've done a lot of... Men have been in charge for a long time.
And so far, nothing good has come of it. I mean, look... Look, all right. Look at where we are in world history right now. The oceans are full of plastic. The earth is literally melting itself. Every country in the world is experiencing some kind of strife. We're just on the verge of World War III and the Middle East.
And there is 90% of the people who lead these countries and these situations, 90% of our leaders have dicks. And we have not done a great job. And I think I understand why. And so I wish we would just go ahead and turn it over to the women for a little while. And then we'll see where we're at in like 10 or 20 years. You know what I'm saying?
And then we can all collectively come to the table and make a decision about which one did a better job, the male or the female. I hate to make it a war of the sexes, but I think that's what we need. And I have been reading that on the war of the sexes that many women and I say many.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts react to the 90 Day Fiancé phenomenon?
I mean, I read one post that many women are choosing to withhold sex. I saw that because of the election results.
Well, there's this movement right in South Korea.
It already happened.
Yeah. But they're mirroring that, I think, where it was like the women in protest are just like giving up.
Not giving it up. This is the answer, my friend. So sorry, Jeff, but I'm going to now convince your wife that this is the answer.
Jeff's on our side.
Astrid's already been on this kick for like two months.
Yeah.
She knew long before the election results. She said, this country's headed in the wrong direction. No sex for you. So there is a movement going on quietly, I think, online and in social media spaces. I don't think this is at the mainstream. Well, some mainstream media places.

Chapter 5: What relationship red flags do Bryan and Krissy identify?
I mean, they thrived. They had beautiful flowers everywhere. Sure, some people died making those pyramids. But at the end of the day, at the end of the day, Cleopatra was, I think, universally understood to be one of the more notable figures in history. And everything turned out. Look at Marie Antoinette. Was she somebody that led something? I think.
Well, she got beheaded. Well, you know.
It can't all be shits and giggles, Chrissy. Every once in a while you're going to have a bad streak there. But I'm telling you right now, like, I cannot believe that in 2024, the most progressive country in the world, which is not the United States of America, does not yet have – I think it's Sweden or something like that – does not yet have a female president.
Well, it's hard even just to believe that Kamala was the first woman vice president.
It is hard to believe that, isn't it?
I thought about that just a few weeks ago and was like, wait, is that right? Yeah, that's right. Right.
Yeah, that is right. You are right about that. I think there was a candidate. No, there have been. There have been candidates, but I don't think anyone has ever been in office until Kamala. And, you know, and good for her. And I think that's a step in the right direction. But let's be honest about the vice presidency. It doesn't mean shit. No one really cares about the vice president.
No one votes for vice president of the United States. It's about the president. It's about the candidate. I don't think anybody voted for Trump because of J.D. Vance. Quite frankly, I think it's the opposite. I don't think anybody voted for Kamala because of Tim Walz. He's a nice seems like a nice guy. And he certainly knows how to rile up a crowd of people.
But that wasn't who you were voting for. You were either voting for Kamala or voting for Trump. And so I don't think anybody was voting for Kamala. I think they voted for Biden and Kamala came along with it. So having a female vice president is like a consolation prize. It's not really like anybody's doing anything significant. But it honestly blows my mind.

Chapter 6: How does Bryan describe his experience at a kundalini yoga retreat?
Yeah. I think she was a terrible FBI director. But, you know, we've had like really people that have much more power than the president of the United States in office at some point. Now, I understand the FBI director is not like elected. But still, we've had some females that have really been – have some – been pretty close to the button, if you know what I mean.
And yet we can't just get over it and then elect. And I'm not saying that Kamala, like, okay, Kamala lost. I get it. Right. But over the years, over the last 30, 40 years, we haven't had one qualified candidate, Clinton, Kamala. We haven't had like one other female that was that close to the presidency. It just surprises me. It really does. It really does. And so Chrissy for president.
That's all I got to say.
Totally for president.
No, thank you.
You don't want to be the president?
No. No? No, no, no. Why?
Isn't it every person's dream to be the president of the United States at some point or the other? Never in your life have you ever thought, I'd like to be president of the United States. Never?
Mm-mm.

Chapter 7: What insights do they share about the influence of cult-like practices in spirituality?
It doesn't seem like very much fun. Like it just go up and go down. Now, I understand you're going to get a great view, which, by the way, the world is round. People who, you know, non- Scientists have now been up there and have decided the world is round. I didn't wonder where those flat earthers were.
I don't know.
There was a whole rage back in 2020.
It really was.
I really haven't heard from them in a long time.
No, we did a whole couple of shows on those.
We'll get back to it. I actually did some research on this a couple days ago. They're still out there. They are? Yeah, they're few and far between, but they're still out. They're not quite as loud and proud as they were before. Right. Yeah, once, you know, once a few commoners went up there, took a few photographs, yeah, and said, I really did go to space.
I came back and the Earth indeed is round, or at least the part that I saw is spherical. Some people, they just, all of a sudden they went away. Remember there was like that leader of the group and he was like, he said, being a flat earther is great for my love life. Right, right. He was the leader.
Yeah.

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes do they share about their early relationship experiences?
And then when we come back, we're going to talk about, we're going to lighten it up a little bit. Chrissy has gotten into the 90 Day Fiancé. Oh, did I? Yeah, let's talk about it when we get back.
Okay.

So help me by following us on Instagram at The Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast 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.
All right. So. So tell me. So Chrissy and I, after the election, were commiserating with each other via text message. And the first thing Chrissy said was, I'm turning off the news. What's a good junkie TV show to get into? And since I know all the junkie TV shows.
Yeah, you were the first.
I've got way too much time on my hands with 13 children, two jobs and a partridge in a pear tree. I said, hey, Chrissy. Why don't you turn on 90 Day Fiance?
Before the 90 days.
Yes. And she has. We were talking about this last week. There was a guy that is a paraplegic. Well, I think he's actually quadriplegic, but he has use of his hands. Just not full use. Not full use. He can't, like, move his fingers all the way. Yeah. So the guy really has a tough life, but he seems to do well on his own. He seems to be fully independent.
