No one breaks up with me. No one ever breaks up with me except for you because you're my only girlfriend ever. I went to McDonald's today, drove through the drove-through and ordered number two. I asked for extra barbecue sauce, but the lady forgot to put it in. So I went around again. I turned down the music in case you couldn't hear me. Knock, knock.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
break i'm brian green this is my rbl to michael tony krista joy oddly best to you krista best to you i'm poking you along i'm poking you along i know what that is very excited to have you back thank you for joining us everybody i wanted to say a quick hello and a quick note to one of our dear listeners allison i don't want to say her last name i know her last name but i don't want to say it because i don't know if she wants everybody knowing she was a commercial break but she's so sweet and she's been writing us for a while now she works i think i told you about this young lady she works in a factory did i tell you about this one okay she works in a factory and she listens to the commercial break while she's making the widgets or whatever's going on and her bosses are not the nicest people in the world according to her not the nicest people in the world and it really kind of gets her down sometimes but she listens to the show and then it brings her back up and she was like i you know sometimes i just feel like you know nothing's going on in life but i'm glad i have youtube because you're my friends and i get to listen to you and all this other stuff
And I was like, oh, that's a very sweet text message that she wrote. It sounded like she was a little down and out about the job. And I explained to her that everybody, big or small, soon or far away, has some kind of purpose. Right? We all have some kind of purpose. And it's not to make widgets. Maybe it's to tell the show that you like how good of a job that they're doing so they keep on doing it. That's right. And I was like, so maybe that is your purpose. God damn that we do. We don't get it from our spouses.
Why do the hosts think fencing is a sport for attractive athletes?
That's right. And so I just wanted to say, but the great part of the text message had nothing to do with all the niceties that we were, pleasantries that we were exchanging, but that she goes home and tells her boyfriend what they have to watch based on my opinions of television. Oh, Lord. So I had to write a text. So I saw this text message the other night when I was here in the studio and I was like, oh, I got to write her back and then I got to apologize to her poor fucking boyfriend. I was going to say. I don't know if... Who's watching My 600-lb Life and the Seven Little Johnstons on repeat. Whatever, the other way, this way, that way. That way, 90-day the other way, 90-day the other way. Sideways.
But here's the good news for everybody involved. The Olympics are on, so at least for the next couple of weeks, we don't have to listen to Brian O'Pine about any of that stuff. It's on 24 hours, seven days a week. Because I love the fucking Olympics. I don't know. It's just something exciting about all the international sport and thinking about what a history they have. And I know it's corrupted shit and it's all bullshit and it's just a big moneymaker. But for the athletes, it's a real thing. No, yeah. They train all their lives for this. And there's always great stories. And, you know, NBC, who's had the Olympics forever and ever and will have it forever and ever, has been does a good job of bringing out those stories with Olympians and athletes that you would never otherwise know a fuck about.
I mean, you just wouldn't. Who watches? We're watching. Badminton is on in the background right now. Yeah. Who the fuck watches professional badminton? No one. I enjoyed the fencing. I was watching the fencing. Did you watch it today? I didn't watch it today, but I watched it, whatever, yesterday or Saturday.
