Chapter 1: What is the Great Kate Photo Debate about?
On this episode of the commercial break.
So call me back on your ring doorbell. It's so strange. Give me a ring back on the ring, and I'll talk to you later. I'll try again tomorrow.
Bye-bye. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Freak in the Sheets. Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Can someone, for the love of all that's holy, please explain to me what is going on with the Kate Middleton photograph?
Chapter 2: How do Bryan and Krissy feel about the scrutiny of Kate Middleton's photo?
Do you know?
Do I know? Do you know?
Do you know?
I think the question is more like, do I care?
Well, I don't care either, but we do have a show where we've got to talk about something. So let's talk about this.
Apparently, you know, everybody was freaking out. They haven't seen her in months, and she had some kind of planned surgery, which she was always supposed to kind of be out, out of commission, like out of the public eye, recovering.
Okay.
And I guess that's a little mysterious.
It's a little mysterious that she has surgery and she wants to recover? It seems a ridiculous thing to be concerned about. I know, right?

Chapter 3: What are the implications of altering photos in the public eye?
Okay.
The other day, in fact, Jeff and I were watching the Oscars and some people were saying, happy Mother's Day. And at one point, Jeff goes, shit. I thought the same thing when I read the story. I was like, oh my God, I felt a panic too. And I was like, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait. I know it's in May. It's in May.
Yeah.
So we looked it up, and yes, it was the British version of Mother's Day, and she posted a picture with the family. But I guess she did a little editing to it, a little Photoshopping. I don't know what she did. Everybody changes photos that they post these days. For sure. Everybody.
Chapter 4: Why do people feel the need to scrutinize public figures?
Yes. So she says she was just trying to kind of play around with it, and people noticed that it was altered, and so now they're freaking out again.
OK, I got it. I went down the way too big of a rabbit hole here on the whole Kate Middleton thing. But first of all, who in the fuck is looking at a picture that closely? The picture looked fine to me until I actually started reading the comments about what was altered. And it took me a really long time to see that anything was wrong. Like I thought I was dumb there for a minute.
I was like, I'm just not seeing this. Yeah. I don't see what other people are seeing, that the kid has a cuff that makes her arm look weird, or that Kate's stretched out her arms too far to wrap around all the children. I mean, honestly, do we not have anything better to do with our time?
No, apparently not.
Aren't children starving? Aren't people setting books on fire in libraries?

Chapter 5: What are the challenges of using Slack in the workplace?
Why do we give a shit if Kate Middleton doctored up her photo? Plus, she's got to be one of the most photographed women in the world. Isn't it okay if she just makes herself look a little bit better? Because we all fucking do it. I don't because I don't know how to work the filters on Instagram. But once I figure it out, you better goddamn believe I will.
And this is why I sit so far from the camera on the commercial break so I don't get scrutinized. I don't understand why Kate Middleton can't take a couple months off to recover from a surgery. Why that's a big deal, number one. Number two, everybody alters photographs. And the AP goes out and they say it's against the rules, the United Nations of Photographs Rules or whatever.
It's like, come on, guys. You've never put out a doctored photo. I mean, I guess I know you're the AP and you've got to uphold some standards, but you've never put out a doctored photo ever. I call bullshit on that.
Chapter 6: How does Bryan feel about constant notifications from work tools?
Yeah. First of all. Second of all, who really fucking cares? Kate's just putting out a picture. There's a controversy about who's taking the picture and whether or not they have lights.
I mean, people were so obsessed with not seeing her. Then they see her. I know.
And then they see her. And then there's a grand conspiracy to change her daughter's hand. Yeah. Why? Did she get her hand cut off in the surgery? I mean, that I can understand. Like if she got her hand cut off and then she's like manipulating another hand onto her hand.
Chapter 7: What funny incident happened with Bryan's Ring doorbell?
Who cares? The poor lady just had surgery. Leave her alone. I read this whole article about how this is this whole thing. is a symbol of how the royal family is crumbling.
Is treated, too.
Yeah, is treated and it's crumbling because Charles is dealing with his cancer. You know, William's nowhere to be seen. Kate's nowhere to be seen. Harry and Meghan are, you know, in L.A. At Reed Hastings' house, which I would like an invitation to, please. I don't care how I get it. Meghan, what's up? We've had at least three comedians on that are on Netflix as a joke.
We still haven't gotten invited to Reed's house for dinner.
Chapter 8: What are the privacy concerns with doorbell cameras?
So, I'll... We'll deal with this later. I'll deal with this later. Thank you very much, Chrissy. That's exactly what I wanted to say. I'll take it on good faith that the invitation just got lost in the mail, quote unquote.
Or is on the way.
It should be on the way. It should be on the way.
Checks in the mail. Invites in the mail.
Invites in the mail. Receipts are didn't happen. 50% off my Netflix account. That is the least you could do. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Maybe I can't get an invitation to reads right now. 50% off my Netflix account.
Any little bit helps.
It's $122 I would be saving every month. So stupid. But I just think leave the poor lady alone. Like, did she really need additional scrutiny on her when she's just trying to pose and, you know, take a nice photograph and show everybody that she's okay and the family's okay?
She's essentially feeding the beast that was created by the same paparazzi tabloids and news outlets that need to see a picture of her so desperately because, you know, otherwise she's with space aliens. You know what I'm saying?
It's like... Well, it all, you know, it really...
