What is the significance of manually stimulating glands?
What are you, darling? Where's your costume? This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else. On this episode of The Commercial Break... So yeah, it's adapting to the new technology, and I think the new technology is helping people. It's like, how many of these comics are releasing Netflix specials every two months, three months? That used to be like... But, you know, you'd have a special like once every once every three years.
Yeah.
How do pinpoint pupils relate to health issues?
Like they'd be working on that for three years and then they do the special. Now it's like you see like a comic that you just kind of it's his like eighth Netflix special. It's like, is it? The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. Minus one pair of thyroid. This is Chris and Joy. The best friend and co-host of this terrible podcast. Best to you, Chris. Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
Alien.
I miss that. So many people do. I get that often. Where's the aliens? After 772,000 different episodes of me pressing that button, I decided to give it a break. But every once in a while, I do miss it. I agree. You got to hearken back to the days.
What role does Hulk Hogan play in contemporary comedy?
I was going to do... Yeah, boy! But I went with the aliens. As we come back today. Yesterday, our first day back after my parathyroid surgery. And I just got to tell you right now, not the best the commercial break had to offer. For sure. But I was just trying to muddle through somehow. And I'll explain why. So yesterday was... Yesterday was Wednesday. Tuesday, we had a best of. Christina did a great job on the best of. Did you listen to the best of?
Yes, and they were very good.
Christina did a great job. I laughed out loud. I do love me some Christina sometimes. She was really funny on Tuesday's best of. She replayed a couple of the episodes where I was talking about my vasectomy, pulling my V-card, and also not foliating beforehand. You were telling me that I had to exfoliate my nuts?
How does Doug Bass describe his experience on Kill Tony?
Yes. But anyway, I got my parathyroid taken out. Yesterday, Chrissy and I, I said, okay, let's try and get back in the studio. My throat's not 100%, but let's try. When I got my parathyroid taken out, one of the things that they have to do is they have to go behind your actual thyroid. So they make a slice in your throat where your thyroid is. Then they pull your thyroid out and they look for that sick parathyroid, the tumor behind my throat. when they do that they stimulate they manually stimulate that gland like a lot of glands are manually stimulated uh they manually stimulate the thyroid in some cases and then you get an additional you know another fun little thing you get to deal with which is called thyroidism hyperthyroidism and that's like when you get a shot of thyroid hormone which is
It feels to me like being in my 20s behind a bar. That's what it feels like to me. It feels like 17 cups of coffee, way too much cocaine, additional speed in your body. I don't know any other way to put it.
Yeah, and you were so tired before.
Now it's gone the other way. Yeah, now it's going the opposite direction. I can't sleep. I'm jittery. I'm nervous. And so I called the surgeon. The surgeon gave me his cell phone number, which I think is about the dumbest thing you could do to a hypochondriac.
What are the implications of cancel culture for comedians?
Give a hypochondriac your phone number when you have an actual medical degree. See how that works out. So I called the surgeon and I said, hey, man, I just want to check and make sure that these things that I'm feeling are like normal in the process after a parathyroidectomy. And he said, no, actually, they're not. What I think you have is that we were feeling for nodules on your thyroid and we probably stimulated your thyroid. And then it released a bunch of this. thyroid medication and I said oh okay well you know I haven't slept in a couple days hopefully tonight I'll get a good night's sleep and he said yeah probably not you're probably gonna be dealing with this for a couple more days and I was like oh thanks so then last night I'm staring in the mirror like because now I'm just totally out of my fucking brain so I'm staring in the mirror like a crazy person and I'm like oh my god I just want to come down just a little bit I want to come down just a little bit
