Chapter 1: What holiday greetings do Bryan and Krissy share at the start?
Ho, ho, ho. Happy holidays. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Kwanzaa Festivus for the rest of us. You know all the things. They're all tropes. I could say them all, but we would be here for a day. It's your old friend, Brian. And Merry Christmas a week later. It's actually now New Year's Eve.
I realized last week that our Wednesday episode, the Christmas Eve episode, did not go out the door due to technical difficulties. And while that's the first time that has happened in almost six years of doing the show, if it was going to happen, Christmas Eve was going to be the day.
That's just how we roll here at TCB as we move into our new schedule of Mondays and Wednesdays releasing episodes every... I didn't put out the Wednesday episode or I tried, but it didn't go out the door anyway. So I'm going to run the episode. I was going to run last Wednesday, which is our Christmas Eve episode from the 12 days of TCB.
You remember that way back a year ago, Christina was here with us. So you're going to hear Christina's voice. I hope you enjoy it. And then I will be back on Friday to bring you another TCB classic on the new year's Eve episode from the 12 days of TCB.
And just know that I love you very much, and I can't wait to get back to live action next Tuesday right here from this studio, youtube.com slash thecommercialbreak on Twitch and on Kik. Until then, my friends, my fine-feathered friends, I hope you take 25 and put it in the trash, and I hope you kick 26 directly in the potatoes.
See you January 6th on youtube.com slash thecommercialbreak for live TCB.
Christmas chip is basically a Christmas dinner all in one.

Chapter 2: Why did the Wednesday episode not air on Christmas Eve?
So it's your turkey, your ham, your stuffing, your cocktail sausages on your chips with gravy. People can have cranberry if they wish, but the majority don't. Some people switch it up a wee bit and go for peppered sauce rather than the gravy, but the gravy's the most popular. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Ho, ho, ho. Ah, yeah, dancers and prancers, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Greene. This is the Eulog to my dreidel, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Christy's going back to the 90s and starting a rave right here.
The snowflake.
It's a Christmas Eve rave.
It is a Christmas Eve rave.
It's a Christmas Eve rave.
Yay.
Yay.
When I worked in the restaurant industry, I loved Christmas Eve because I knew I was going to get shit-faced. That's right. It was a favorite tradition of the people who work in the industry who had to work on Christmas Eve was to party very hard on Christmas Eve.

Chapter 4: What unique Christmas dinner is mentioned in the episode?
No. I mean, we have a good Christmas Eve. It's... Like we just go over and have some sausage rolls at someone's house. And it's just a nice day. But all of our gift receiving and giving goes on on Christmas Day. And we do like a massive Christmas dinner with the three like expat families.
Okay.
So we have like two British families and a Canadian family that we do our Christmas Day with.
How many people in total come to that?
Yeah, like 20.
20 people. That's nice. That's a good one. Yeah, that's nice.
It's really fun.
I used to always love that get-together at my grandmother's house because there were so many people there that I could kind of hide out, right?
I could kind of do my own thing.

Chapter 5: How do Bryan and Krissy celebrate Christmas Eve?
The light turns green. I go to take a left at the light. And when I take a left, someone just is right in front of me. They're right there. Boom. Boom. They came up on my mirror is what happened. They broke the mirror off. But then somebody else was running behind that person.
So I can only assume they were chasing each other down the street, probably for crack or something, you know, something more important. But they never found him. So they never found him. There's no blood. So I think we can all make the assumption that I hope they're still alive. I'm really sorry if that was you. I really apologize. But anyway, that was my Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve was always the bigger deal in my household. And I think we continue that tradition now. You do. Yeah, I do, because there's something like I feel like Christmas Day, the steam gets taken out a little bit after the morning presents are open. It feels like, OK, now I have to get used to the fact that it's not the holiday season anymore. Christmas is over.
I know I'm depressing everybody right before on Christmas Day.
I was going to say that's when you break out the mimosas.
Well, exactly. Holiday spirit going. You do a big breakfast and a breakfast casserole. And do the mimosas.
We do do the breakfast. This year we'll have the grandma and grandpa will be over to do the Santa Claus presents with us. So I feel like it'll be a really special, probably elongated Christmas. But everyone comes over on Christmas Eve and then Christmas Day we invite everybody over. They all say they're coming over, but no one ever makes it over. And I can only imagine it's because...
christmas mimosas right exactly so since i have 12 to 15 children you guys do christmas mimosas for me because if i start getting drunk on christmas day forget about it yeah when you're a dad not the christmas eve anymore for us now it's christmas day now you've turned it into christmas day turned into christmas day yeah because there's no santa anymore oh that's true so now my mom still writes that presents are from santa it's cute it's cute i'm 30 yeah
My mom still does that, too. Jean jackets and all. Jean jackets and pizza pockets. My mom still writes from Santa. Pizza Hut delivered.

Chapter 6: What are the common themes in Frankie B's content?
Little Caesars is good, but they don't deliver.
Their cheesy bread is good.
Yeah. But Little Caesars is a good value.
They don't deliver, though.
They don't deliver. So you got to go pick it up.
They don't even like DoorDash it or Uber Eats it? They might.
They might. But I tell you what, there's one Little Caesars around us. And it's like, you know, 15, 10, 15 minute drive away. And you go there. And it does not fucking matter what time of day or night you go there. There is a line at that Little Caesars. Because it's pizza pizza. Mm-hmm. Am I making everybody hungry on Christmas Eve?
Here we go talking about pizza for the second time on the 12 days of TCB. But that Little Caesars is really good. And I used to work at a Little Caesars. It was one of my first jobs. Yeah, that was the time that the manager showed me his gun and a pound of weed.
It was fun times in the bucolic town of East Cobb, Atlanta, where the manager to the Little Caesars traveled around with a gun and a pound of weed. It was unbelievable.

Chapter 7: What dating traps does Frankie B discuss?
So anyway, I, you know, I hope you're not having Little Caesars for Christmas Eve. But if you are, it's not the worst thing in the world.
It's not.
Yeah. But Domino's has become the least favorite in the household. I think they changed their recipe about 10 years ago and something happened. You and I used to. Yeah. At Domino's is on speed dial. Yeah, exactly. Speed dial.
Pepperoni and black olives.
Pepperoni, black olives. Get it to us now. Yes, Mr. Green and Mrs. Holdley will be right over. You know, we'd give a $30 tip because we were too drunk to note any difference. And that happens six times a week, honestly. Let's be real about it. Six times a week. So anyway, it's Christmas Eve. We just have been in love with the 12 Days of TCB. Apparently you have, too.
I actually think this has been a lot of fun.
It has been a lot of fun.
It's given us purpose and direction. That's right. Content ideas. Purpose, direction, and content ideas.
Something like that.

Chapter 8: What are the key takeaways from Frankie B's dating advice?
So I have been waiting and waiting and waiting, patiently saving two videos. Now, Frankie B has stopped posting a long time ago.
Well, I was going to say, and we figure when this happens, he has a girlfriend. He has a girlfriend. I think you're right about that. And then his girlfriend makes him stop with all the crazy posting. Then the girlfriend and him break up. And that's when he really pumps the content out.
Frankie B's YouTube channel is a, like, I guess it's basically, it's a... Needle right into the vein of whoever he has dated or divorced last, right? He is desperately hoping that someone that he has recently been with sees the content that he's making because it's so obviously personal. And he says things that are so obviously personal. You're probably smoking crack cocaine.
Like the time he did a whole series on dating a party girl. And it was obvious that he had been dating a party girl because slowly but surely he started to tell the story about how he was dating a party girl or the divorce at the beginning when he got the divorce. Listen, no knock. Yeah.
Of all of the poise that we do, and I do consider Frankie a pickup artist because he's teaching men how to get women. Of all the poise out there, he is the one that's nearest and dearest to my heart. He's kind of a softie.
He was our first.
He was our first. Never forget your first. Never forget your first Frankie B. Pounding. never forget your first uh slicked back hair turtleneck wearing it's pinky finger who wears a pinky ring anymore frankie let's be honest about um but frankie has had some videos that we amazingly have not done i cannot believe it i
realized this a couple of months ago and i said i'm going to save this for the end of the year and so to round out the 12 days of tcb you not have one you have two days of frankie b coming your way two videos we have not reviewed in the past and we're going to get started with those but first i want to remind you over the last couple of weeks uh that we've been here with you on the 12 days of tcb we've talked about a lot of different charities we talked about four of them
It's been so important to us because this time of year is when these charities who are doing a lot of good in a lot of people's lives, when they collect the most amount of money, just like everything else in the world, all of it happens in the last two months of the year, November, December, the holiday time. We spend the most amount of money. We give the most amount of money.
