Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
On this episode of The Commercial Break.
Chapter 2: Why haven't we been back to the moon?
Well, why haven't we been back? Well, because getting to the moon. Well, first of all, we have been back many, many times. And so have other countries, right? It's not like moon exploration stopped altogether. It's just that we went there. We did it. And I don't think we found anything like soup. No, there was other stuff to explore.
Yeah, it's like this restaurant I went to a couple of years ago down the street. I went there. Yeah. I found that there was nothing. Yeah, I had explored all there was to explore. I saw just this much of it, and that was enough for me. I said, no reason to go back.
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, Chris Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast and streaming universe. Thanks for joining us. We really appreciate it. You sent me a picture yesterday that I found highly disturbing. Yeah. So here's a little context. You know, for years, I've been saying on my channel that I know a person. I've known a person not very long, but maybe I don't know, since the pandemic started. And I follow them on Instagram.
They follow, you know, as you do when you meet somebody. Hey, follow me on Instagram, whatever. And no shit. She takes a photograph in the shitter every place she goes. She takes a selfie, not on the toilet, but in the bathroom. Oftentimes with people behind her in the bathroom. Mirror selfies where she's sometimes covering her face, sometimes not. Checking the fit. Whatever. Cool.
You're checking the fit. But I can't for the life of me understand why bathroom selfies... Unless they're in your own bathroom or a thing. No. Why would you be putting yourself in a situation where you would be taking a picture in a public bathroom with other people behind you? Is it just a tag, like where they are? I don't know. I haven't looked at these. I don't know.
So much clout chasing going on. And this is coming from a podcaster, so take it all with a grain of salt. But to me, it's a lot of clout chasing, trying to seem cool, I-K-Y-N-K-D-Y, all this other shit. But the first thing that you think about when you see someone taking a bathroom selfie is them taking a hot shit.

Chapter 3: What disturbing picture did the host receive?
If it's brown, flush it down. Or number three. That's an emergency. That is an emergency. Listen, in any case, the bathroom selfie has jumped the shark. Let's stop it unless you're in your own bathroom. Taking a picture of your fit before you're heading out the door. I get that part. I get that one. That one I can understand.
It's still not my favorite place to be taking a selfie or looking at a selfie from someone else. But I do understand. If you have a nice bathroom. If you have a nice bathroom. That's right. Because if you don't have a nice bathroom, you have no business taking a selfie in a bathroom. But Chrissy yesterday sends me a picture of Kim Kardashian trow down on a toilet.
And then it was from TMZ and TMZ's caption said, you know, check out the potty shots. Well, it says National Toilet Day. I then, because of you, flipped through 29 additional celebrity photographs sitting on the shedder. Why is this a thing? Have we no value? Have we no sacred space? You know. Well, we certainly don't have any privacy. Yeah. Let me give you some marriage wisdom from Brian.
Marriage wisdom that I got from an old Jewish couple that one of the guys was soccer coaching me. And then sometimes we spent the night at his house because he had a son that was our age, blah, blah, blah. You get it. We woke up one morning. Breakfast was being cooked by this very nice woman, the mother of my friend, the wife of the soccer coach.
And I don't know how we got on this conversation, but there was some conversation about marriage or, you know, being a husband or being a wife. And she said, let me tell you the reason why we have a happy marriage.
We never shit in front of each other ever. Always shit by yourself.
That is correct. And I thought to myself, that seems like a pretty common sense ground rule day one relationship kind of thing. And is it not true that when you get into a relationship, you spend at least the first six months of that relationship hiding the fact that you go to the bathroom? Yes, of course you do. That is common courtesy. It's not you're not trying to hide parts of yourself.
You're trying to hide parts of yourself that no one wants to see.

Chapter 4: Why are bathroom selfies considered inappropriate?
Not even you. If I could get away with not shitting, I'd get away with not shitting. But I can't. It's something I have to do. It's healthy to do. Now it's an escape from my children, but my children always find me. It's just one of those things. Now there's group activities because my kids come in. Oh, your morning press conference. My morning press conference, as Chrissy likes to call it.
It is my morning press conference. Okay, kids, what are we doing? How's school? What's going on? But still, I have the common courtesy to avoid pee-pee-poo-poo in front of my wife.
Yes.
Because I still don't think that's an appropriate thing. Well, pee-pee. Okay. Okay, every once in a while, pee-pee. I get it. That's not the world's biggest deal. Poo-poo, yes. Poo-poo, for sure. No, no. Just say no. Just say no-no to poo-poo. Say no-no. Say, how now, brown cow? No, no, no, no, no. Stop sign right there. The reality for most of us is that this seems like common fucking sense.
We're not going to take a picture of us on a shitter because a picture is not a video. So therefore, I cannot tell whether it's pee-pee-poo-poo, let it mellow or flush it down. I cannot tell. But celebrities who have no healthy boundaries whatsoever, like Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. They did it? I didn't see it on there. No, I'm just saying they have no healthy boundaries. Oh, right.
These celebrities are absolutely in the wrong about this. There should be no good reason why we wouldā It's not a good look to begin with. You're not in a good position bodily. No. You're hunched over. Yeah, you're squatting. Yeah. White pasty, the pastiest part of you is available for human consumption. It's just not a good look. It's not like I'm standing full frontal.
It's a weird position to be in. None of us want to be in that position in a picture. But there are at least 29 celebrities, according to TMZ, who have posted these potty pictures. And I just cannot for the life of me get on board with this. I knew you'd find that funny. Yes. We have jumped the shark officially on social media.
I mean, we did a long time ago, but now we're going to a whole new level. I'm realizing just how much social media is ruining everybody's lives. It's giving our kids mental health problems. It's giving us anxiety. And now we're taking pictures of ourselves on the potty.
I imagine the inventors of the internet, like, you know, the CIA guys and the DARPA dudes, we're probably not like, someday, someday, we're going to be exchanging shitter pictures. Won't that be a day? Classified alien information back and forth is what they were thinking. When the aliens come, we'll be ready for it.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of National Toilet Day?
All the time. She's a billionaire with a lot of influence and a big PR machine, and she's always doing something. And so she said something, I don't know if it was on her television show or on a podcast or whatever, probably on a podcast, because that's where all the dumb shit is said. She was on a podcast and mentioned that she has some doubts whether or not we actually landed on the moon.
And I'm wondering if we can just put this one to rest. I mean, do you have any doubts that we went to the moon? No.
No.
Have you ever had any doubts that we went to the moon? No. Is it something that you ever thought about to any degree? Not unless it gets brought up that somebody doesn't believe it. Listen, Joe Rogan for a long time was a non-moon landing believer, and then he kind of turned the corner on it. There are a lot of books and videos and all kinds of stuff. There's convincing evidence.
I think a lot of it has been debunked. I do believe that the United States had a backup plan. They may have had Stanley Kubrick record ā videos that looked like we landed on the moon in case we didn't land on the moon. But, and I think we did. But I do think there is like, there's a little bit of smoke, but the fire is not the fire everybody thinks it is.
I also think that the video technology back then was so terrible that it wouldn't be out. Did you know, here's an interesting fact about the moon landing. When the moon landing happened, The receivers that sent the video images back to Earth came into essentially a radio station, like a radio station with a big satellite dish on top of it.
But because there was really no way to relay that broadcast back to all the channels that were going to pick it up, they essentially put together a master feed by then pointing the camera at another video image that then was relayed. So it was a copy of a copy. And only one videotape was ever recorded. And for some time, those videotapes were at some point those videotapes were recorded over.
So the masters of the essential running the landing on the moon were lost for some period of time until they were pieced back together by, I don't know, videologists. I don't know who does whatever they do. But the moon landing, there's a lot of suspicion, I think, rightfully so, because there's some stuff that just seems kind of hanky.
Stanley Kubrick did say that he was approached to do some filming of activities that make it look like the moonscape. If you look at some of Stanley Kubrick's movies, you can see that even before the moon landing, he was making videos of space that looked pretty convincing, Space Odyssey 2001. Yeah. So I get it. I get why people can be, you know, why does the flag wave?
