Chapter 1: What insights do Bryan and Krissy share about Superblow 2026?
On this episode of the Commercial Break. I thought all those gambling companies were flush with cash. Aren't they? I guess not, if they can't make their payments. I mean, and you would think with the media rights to all of the... Here's the thing, is that when I was watching sport, when I was watching the Braves on the Fan Duels Network, or what was called Bally Sports.
Yeah, Bally Sports, that's right.
which I think Bally's owns FanDuel, I guess. I don't know. Who fucking knows? Owl.
Yeah, the emoji. I don't know.
Chapter 2: How are gambling companies impacted by media rights deals?
Owl. I have my own emoji. Like, Apple made me an emoji with, you know, with a bald head and a big, little owl. And whenever I press that particular emoji, instead of being a small emoji in the middle of a sentence, it just automatically sends it as one huge emoji with me going, owl. I look like a fucking asshole. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. 2.30 in the morning!
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 Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast and streaming audience. Thanks for joining us. We just got done with a lovely conversation with the brand-new host of the CW smash game show sensation Scrabble. The one and only, none other than Craig fucking Ferguson. Personal hero of mine. And I don't say that lately. There was no other television show like the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
It was really good. In history. It would go down as the best. Ever.
Ever, ever, ever. As my son would say. Ever, ever, ever, ever. Craig was just as funny and witty and charming and as intelligent. He's a Scottish guy, so he can say anything.
Good looking.
Yeah, he can say fuck you and it would sound nice. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's good looking. He's fucking handsome.
That dude is handsome. I loved his hair.

Chapter 3: What humorous stories do they share about their personal lives?
Braves. The Braves is one of the most valuable sports franchises ever. When they get sold, it will be for billions with a B of dollars. I don't think I'm venturing a guess there. I think that's true. Their media...
empire is unmatched the cubs and the braves and the reason why is because tbs and wgn they used to carry those games nationally uh so a lot of people who didn't have a professional baseball team that they could access on their local television stations would watch through tbs and wgn that's why the cubs and the braves are two of the most popular baseball teams ever uh
And the Braves, along with nine other teams, have now separated with FanDuel's network, the FanDuel network owned by Main Street Sports, because Main Street Sports was not paying them their royalties. They missed some royalty payments. And so now it looks like the channel is going to go under. But I will have to say this is good news for the everyday fan.
And the talk is that the Braves are now in conversations with Apple and Amazon to put their games on streaming on Apple or Amazon.
Yeah, every year I have this whole conversation with Jeff about because he has to order some special package to be able to watch the Braves. And I'm like, it's like $100 more.

Chapter 4: What was the significance of Craig Ferguson's hosting of Scrabble?
That's it. I know. We did the same thing. We bought the FanDuel package just so we could watch the Braves. And it is a load of horseshit. Now, you have to get Amazon or Apple, I'm sure, to watch the Braves now. It's not going to be 100% free. But nine other local teams are dealing with the same thing because of this whole deal with FanDuel.
But last year, the last two years, it has been awful confusing to figure out exactly where we watch the Braves. And like we were talking to Craig about, game shows and sports are the two things that we can watch as a family that everybody understands or at least, you know, pretends they understand. Right. Playoffs. Playoffs. I don't really understand.
My seven-year-old understands some of these sports better than I do. But they get into it. If dad's into it or mom's into it, then they're into it. That's it. So the game shows and the Braves. And I want them to watch the Braves. I like the Braves. Of course.
It's our home team.
That's right. 278 games a year. So, you know, almost every night between March and September, you can watch a baseball game. Why not? Let's do it. And so I hope that they get this straightened out or at least go to a local media station. You know, whatever happened to the good old days when you just turn on TBS?
I know. It was just there.
Sanford and Son at 7.05 and the Braves game at 7.35. Yeah. That's how it rolled for years and years and years. It was an institution. It was an institution. I'm going to date myself a little bit here, but you could turn on WGN and listen to Harry Carey call the day games at the old Wrigley Field. So anyway, a bit of drama, fan duel. I thought all those gambling companies were flush with cash.
Aren't they? I guess not if they can't make their payments. I mean, and you would think with the media rights to all of the, here's the thing is that when I was watching sport, when I was watching the Braves on the Fan Duels Network or what was called Bally Sports.
Yeah, Bally Sports. That's right.

Chapter 5: How do Bryan and Krissy feel about the current state of sports broadcasting?
Here comes Cookie Cook's Pest Control. Same shit. Every fucking ad break. And so some people might say, well, good for – they got all the – they sold all the – no, that's not what's happening. What's happening is likely they didn't sell all the advertisement, but they cannot run a television ad break – With nothing.
Yeah, so they just steal it.
Yeah, same with radio. If you have dead air, you can't have dead air. So what do you do? You just give people freebies. That's what you have to do. So anyway, we'll see what happens. I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that this ends up on Apple, Amazon, or the CW.
Or the CW.
The CW. I'd take the CW. Give me yet another reason to watch the CW. I would take that. So there you go. Lots of news, lots of interesting shit going on in the news. I mean, without stating the obvious, Chappelle runs breath. Yeah, we're fucked. We're fucked. Nationalize the elections. What the fuck is this guy talking about, man? It's hey, hey, hey, let me tell you something.
I went to a party this weekend. I was with a lot of people. It's not nice to talk politics in front of mixed company, but I did because that's because I got a big mouth. I can't shut the fuck up and talking to some Venezuelans and Venezuelans. I don't know.
And that's weird because when you're Venezuelan, you know, every other Venezuelan, but we didn't know these Venezuelans, but I was talking to them. This looks very familiar to them. What's going on here in the United States looks very familiar to them. So mind your P's and Q's, kids, because, you know, fascism coming right to your front door. Authoritarianism.
Anyway, that's not what I want to talk about. What I wanted to talk about was Chappelle Rohn's tits. I mean, what else? What else? It's the biggest news of the day. Chappelle Rohn showed up to the Grammys, a lot of nearly nude, nude see-through dresses on the red carpet.
It's all the rage. Tits are all the rage. Those were prosthetics.

Chapter 6: What are the challenges fans face in accessing sports content?
When did that was that Grammys or was that something?
Yeah, that was the Grammys. That was two years ago. He stormed the Grammys. It was so, so.
Everybody can believe it. And now everybody else is doing it.
That's right. Now everyone's doing it. That's how fashion works, right? That's how outrage works. You get a reaction and then everyone else wants to follow. There is nothing outrageous about a set of tits. They are tits. They are tits. Everyone has them, including men. But, you know, we have, and I'm guilty as this, I'm as guilty as anyone of doing this, hyper-sexualized breasts.
That's what we do, right? So someone walks on the red carpet and they have their tits out. You know, listen, as far as I'm concerned, I don't know if I'd want my children watching it, right? Because, you know, there's like, you got to have comfort.
I mean, the human body is beautiful. It is. Especially women's. But as far as, like, fashion...
Right.
I don't know if there's a fashion part of that.
Fashion and sex to me go hand in hand. Yeah. Like fashion, sex, rock and roll, it all goes hand in hand to me. And I don't know that I want to encourage my daughters to be wearing see-through tops, right?

Chapter 7: What did they learn from the recent news about a missing girl?
You go way back to the fifties and sixties and seventies and, you know, boobs are part of the, it's, it's an accessory in some ways.
I guess what I'm saying is I don't know if a nude, like now what, Chappelle Rowan was wearing was fashion, but just the nude dresses, I don't know that that's fashion.
I don't know either. I'm having a hard time. I like it because I like to look at it, but I don't know that it looks good.
Beautiful bodies.
Yeah, but I don't know that it looks good. I don't know. Might as well just show up with nothing on, right? You're putting on a piece of sheer lace, whatever. Anyway, that's the Grammys. That's what they do.
The Grammys were wow. Grammys are just like... This year.
I hate it because the Grammys are... When I was a teenager... I know. It was big. 11 to 28, 29. Because I desperately wanted to be a musician of note. Yeah. The Grammy is what I wanted. The Grammy is what I dreamed of. The grant, showing up at the grant, playing at the Grammys.
Well, there used to be playing at the Grammy.
Hanging my pants from two dick rings, like nut rings.

Chapter 8: How do Bryan and Krissy reflect on parenting and societal issues?
somewhere in the United States or wherever across the world. And then that musician does a number. Yeah, I like that. At the concert, right?
I like that.
That's a real representation of what music is.
But instead they cut to Bieber in silk boxers and socks.
The fuck?
When he came out, I was like, what?
What are you doing? What, what, what? Why are you doing that, Bieber? You're like literally train wrecking in front of the entire world. Live. That was the most... It was bizarre. I don't know who advised him that that was a good idea, but you could hear people laughing when he came out. You could hear it.
It was like a dead silence pin drop as he came out, and then you heard people laughing as the light shined on him. Listen, I'm rooting for the kids.
I know. Tough life.
