What insights do Bryan and Krissy share about Superblow 2026?

Brian Green 0:08
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.
Unknown 0:28
Yeah, Bally Sports, that's right.
Brian Green 0:30
which I think Bally's owns FanDuel, I guess. I don't know. Who fucking knows? Owl.
Kristen Joy Hoadley 0:37
Yeah, the emoji. I don't know.

How are gambling companies impacted by media rights deals?

Brian Green 0:39
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.
Unknown 1:17
Best to you, Brian.
Brian Green 1:17
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.
Unknown 1:45
It was really good. In history. It would go down as the best. Ever.
Brian Green 1:52
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.
Unknown 2:03
Good looking.
Brian Green 2:03
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.
Unknown 2:08
That dude is handsome. I loved his hair.
Brian Green 2:10
I got the Irish side, not the Scottish side, so I'm not going that direction. Yeah, he's Silver Bullet now, dude. Not a lick of color in that hair, but he looks better than ever, I do have to say.
Unknown 2:22
I want to watch the Scrabble.
Brian Green 2:23
I do want to watch Scrabble.
Unknown 2:25
The whole thing about the CW was perplexing us.
Brian Green 2:28
We had to figure out how to get to the CW. But once we did, then we found it. CW? What's that?
Unknown 2:35
What's that?
Brian Green 2:36
Well, you see, kids, back in the day, a lot of bikini-clad women used to run around to a place called the CW.
Unknown 2:46
Yeah, it's not one I turn on very often.
Brian Green 2:48
No, but now I will. I actually pressed—I got Scrabble on record now, so I'm going to watch Craig on the CW. But I don't know where I'm going to watch my Braves. Did you hear about all this?
Unknown 2:59
Oh, God, there's always something.
Brian Green 3:01
What the fuck, bro?

What humorous stories do they share about their personal lives?

Brian Green 3:01
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.
Brian Green 3:55
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.
Unknown 4:11
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.

What was the significance of Craig Ferguson's hosting of Scrabble?

Brian Green 4:21
That's it. I know. We did the same thing. We bought the FanDuel package just so we could watch the Braves.
