What is a TCB Classic episode?
episode of the commercial break if you ask me today memorial day 2025 whether or not i regret having a wise idea to do 12 episodes of the commercial break in a 24-hour period i would tell you no nay no i do not because my original idea was to do 24 episodes in 24 hours to which my longtime and very faithful co-host said, fuck you. And cooler heads prevailed. I dug my heels in for a few days, but when she just flat out refused to go along with the idea, I figured it might be hard to do 24 episodes in 24 hours if I had no co-host. So 12 of them. That's what we settled on. I still think there's a chance she might not show up, but I'm hoping you do. DCB's Endless Day at the end of this week. We'll be right back. So, in return, I give you a TCB classic.
Every time I do that damn Carl voice, you know the one. Hey girl, it's Carl. That one. Based on the infamous preacher Carl Lentz, we get a slew of messages on our TCB hotline. 90% of them are from you, the good-natured listener who takes comfort in the laughable hypocrisy of megachurches.
How did Bryan and Krissy prepare for their studio sessions?
However, there is a small segment of the audience that gets really annoyed when I go after these guys and girls. I don't know. Call me a throwback. Call me a classic. I got a soft spot in my heart for the kind of satire that can actually open eyes to the world around us. Now, I don't place any importance on that satire that I'm doing. I just find it funny myself. We're throwing this back to April 15th, 2022. If you even remember that far back when Chrissy and I reviewed me reviewing a documentary about Hillsong where Carl was a preacher. This is the first time that Carl voice makes an appearance. along with some other noteworthy commentary on megachurches in general. You'll also note in this episode that the actual commercial breaks inside of the commercial break, the liner where Rachel tells you how to find us on social media and our phone number, and the commercials that follow those liners actually just come out of nowhere. They're random places in the episode because this episode was made before we even had advertisements. That's how long ago this was.
And yes, I do have to pay some bills, so you'll excuse me for dropping in a couple of advertisements. All right, enjoy this TCB classic, also known as Hey Girl, It's Carl. Episode 173, for those that are counting. We'll be back tomorrow with a fresh episode, and at the end of the week for 12 or 13 fresh episodes. Enjoy!
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Yes, ma'am. That's another episode of the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend Kristen Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian. I almost just said Happy New Year.
I told you. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. I gotta tell my daughter. No, no, no, no. And she'll go like this back to me. She'll finger wag back to me. If I tell her no, she'll finger wag. And if I tell my son no, he just does whatever the hell he pleases. But he's a three-nager, and that's what we got to deal with. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us on yet another episode of this, The Commercial Break. Another one you'll ever need, in case you're wondering. That's it. Don't worry about those other commercial breaks.
Especially not the vlog.
This is not the commercial break you're looking for. Yeah, the vlog that never seemed the light of day until I decided to make it see the light of day. How bad?
How bad was that? We both made fun of our younger selves.
Yeah, I mean, listen, we all make mistakes. We're going to look back on this in 10 years and go, well, that's a fucking train wreck. We probably should have gotten jobs.
Hey, we're living in the moment.
Yes, Your Honor, in bankruptcy court. I was trying my best. Look at what it could have been. It could have been much worse, Your Honor. It could have been much worse. So a lot of stuff to get to today. Let's jump right into it. I... You know, we just got back from having a little break. And so when I was on vacation, I didn't have access to my normal viewing activities.
