I think everyone should be in therapy, especially more men need to be in therapy. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. But they're very reluctant. Men are very reluctant. My best friend, his name is Josh. He's my age. He just went through a second divorce.
Chapter 2: How does Gianmarco Soresi view therapy and mental health?
He's been very depressed. And I told him, I was like, you should go to therapy. And he was like, nah. Running. Running. That's my therapy. And I was like, oh, that's so interesting because sushi, that's my haircut.
We need to treat depression like the disease that it is. Right? Yes. Yes. You know, you wouldn't tell someone with diabetes to run it off because you need both feet.
On this episode of The Commercial Break.
We're going to get pretty stoned and go to the mall tomorrow and see the seals. And, you know, it's these poor seals. Because, you know, at least at a zoo, they recreate a natural habitat. But, like, I don't think any of these seals grew up next to a Spencer's Gifts. And that's going to be tough for them.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.

Chapter 3: What unique experiences does Gianmarco have while touring?
I'm Brian Green. This is not my missing best friend Kristen Joy Hoadley.
She is away in Memphis seeing yet another concert, being at yet another festival as her husband plows through May with a concert or festival every single weekend. So best to you out there in the podcast universe. I'm going to be your only host today, Brian. And as you're listening to this, I'm probably getting a tooth cracked out of my head while my eyes are still open.
It's literally my living nightmare. But why listen to my drama when you can listen to today's TCB infomercial with Brian? One of the funniest touring comics out there, Gianmarco Sorisi. We actually interviewed Gianmarco a while ago, but because he is in the frozen tundra of Canada when we interview him, his internet was really spotty and he dropped off a few times. No fault of his own.
We love this conversation with Gianmarco. It took me a while to edit it in a way that is listenable. And so I think I've got a good one on deck for you today. Gianmarco is on a forever tour. He's touring forever. You can go to his website, gianmarcosorasi.com. Don't worry. You don't have to know how to spell it. I'll put a link in the show notes and you can see if he's coming to your town.
He probably is coming to your town because he's got dates through December 31st. You know a comic is good when they are touring 160 nights. in just the last six months of the year. I mean, this guy is everywhere all the time. He's also got a hilarious podcast that I have started to listen to, and it's called The Downside with Gianmarco Sorisi.
And tune into the latest episode where they decide whether or not he's actually turning into Jeff Goldblum. It's a weird conversation on alternate universe theories. I think you're going to laugh a lot, and I think you're going to like it. So let us not delay. Let us not waste a lot of time listening to me drabble on because I have to go and, you

They know where to put the bone graft in my head. Brush your teeth, kids. Brush your teeth. That's all I got to say. So Gianmarco Sorisi, here's our interview with him. Why don't we do this?

Chapter 5: What insights does Gianmarco share about his podcast, The Downside?
You're in very cold Edmonton. Yes, I'm performing in, it's a mall. It's one of the biggest malls. It's a comedy club in a mall. It's the second biggest mall in North America. Oh, really? Yes, they have seals. They have a seal show. Wow. Yeah, because that's why, because these colder places, they have to make it all.
We were just talking about that. Yeah.
Yeah.
not true not the seals we weren't talking about the seals we had no idea about this but we were wondering so we had heard maybe this is just like you know uh one of those rumors you hit legends like urban legends canada legend does canada do they have tunnels where they can like walk from place to place no you're you're thinking of the hasidic jews in new york city i think
I don't I mean, I haven't seen any. I don't know.
I certainly maybe covered walkways. I don't know. Maybe just they have huge malls. That's I think so.
Like there's definitely like tunnel like things that I walked through to get to the comedy club.
Minus one, bro. That's what that's what minus one. But feels like what minus one feels like minus 10. I grew up in Chicago and minus one is that's even cold for a guy from Chicago.
Sure. I mean, I don't know how you grew up in Chicago. I can't even imagine.

Chapter 6: How do societal perceptions of therapy influence men's mental health?
In the summer, it's lovely and hot, but in the winter, it's not. Gian Marco, I have more important things to talk to you about. It's a pressing question. It's a pressing question. Inquiring minds want to know, Chrissy and I, do you like your dental hygienist?
You know, I am glad you brought that up. I appreciate that. I, you know, I used to be on the actors union insurance many years ago, and then I did not make enough money to qualify. So I had to like downgrade all my doctor. I had to lose. I lost my whole team.
Sure.
And so the doctor I see now, they're, they're in Chinatown. And they, no one at the office speaks English, which honestly, it's, it's, it's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. It can be ā I think when they lecture me about what I should be doing, I don't follow. So I don't feel bad.
They're just saying floss more. Floss more.
That's what they always say. Yeah. So it's going okay. I don't seem to have a lot of cavities, and I think that's just genetics.
Yeah.
You know, that's really good news because Chrissy and I were just talking off air about this pressing problem we have with our hygienists, just to fill you in on why we would even ask the question. Please. It's ridiculous. They like to talk. Yeah, we have chatty hygienists. And when we, you know, when you got somebody sticking things in your mouth.

See? That's perfect.
I want the name and phone number because my hygienist ā You're going to go to Chinatown.
I'm going to go to Chinatown.
Cleaning.
I wish we had a Chinatown. My hygienist likes to show me pictures of her dog while she's cleaning my teeth and then wants me to react to the dog. And I'm like, honestly, I don't care. I mean, I could care, but I really don't. Now's not the time to talk about your dog. Let's get this over with.
They're holding you captive.
Yes, they are. Yeah, I think you always ā people need to understand when they have a captive audience and go like, if in this situation I should be ā And think about it. She's showing her dog to everybody. She doesn't get tired of showing this dog. Well, she doesn't get tired because no one can tell her that we really don't want to talk to her about her dog.

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes does Gianmarco share about his life on the road?
And I really do believe that like some of the propaganda against ā
therapy is simply that no we need you to be pent up so we can uh direct that frustration towards a very specific cause yeah i like this kind of thinking right here because i've always said i don't you know i think we have a loneliness problem in this country like like people are extraordinarily lonely grasping at straws hoping for meaning in their life and a therapist could probably tell them you know hey there's listen there's no hope or meaning you just gotta
kind of trudge through from one to the next, but you'll be okay, bro. But I kind of, I think I might agree with you for this. People aren't as angry and fearful if they're a little bit self-aware. So it's like, you know, then they don't, you know, go so crazy.
It's, it's, it's the same thing with like masturbation. You know, I think religions go, you know, don't jerk off. Cause then if you don't, you get so mad. You're like, you're like, we all need to go to church on Sunday and you need to give the money. And it's, you know, it's, it's, that's the real impetus, I think, for that kind of thinking.
We've given bumper stickers out. We support men's prostate health.
Yes, we do.
And we need to stay healthy with our masturbation. We have 21 EPM stickers, which means 21 ejaculations per month.
We're just doing our part.
Yeah, we're doing our part.
