What makes Mike Pesca a notable guest on this episode?
I love being dramatic because why would you ever deal with any emotion in a logical way when you could have the option of absolutely losing your mind?
On this episode of The Commercial Break...
Maybe that person had a podcast lower rating. I think that might be the case.
It might be the case.
And this guy's like, I'm playing ho-hos in Hocus. I'm busting my ass. And this ball damn effort.
The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and co-host of the show, Chrissy Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
How does Mike Pesca's Mensa membership influence his perspective?
Super excited about today's activities, today's events. Soon, we will be bringing in Mr. Mike Peska, noted political pundit and overall commentarian on current events and news. Used to work for Slate Magazine, now host of the very popular daily podcast The Gist. And The Gist is taking a long and winding road, and we'll talk to him about this, into the land of comedy. I thought that was our lane, but Mike's going to take over, as he always does, because he's much smarter than I am. I think he's actually a member of Mensa, so we'll discuss that with him. One Mensa member to another. We'll have a discussion on the fees and how the locker rooms have gotten quite messy.
The secret handshake?
secret handshakes and how the locker room has gotten quite messy over there at the Mensa Country Club. But I want to get right to an Ask TCB that we received. I thought it was timely. We should discuss it. Let everything be on the table here, Chrissy, at the commercial break.
What is the significance of the 'Ask TCB' segment?
All the guardrails are now off TCB.com, TCBpodcast.com. They weren't before? Yeah, but we kind of stayed in a certain lane. I don't open it up just a little bit because I think this is an important question and one that we that my wife and I have dealt with directly in our own sphere of influence, like not us, like we haven't dealt with this particular issue, but people we know have. So here is the Ask TCB. It's flat out simple. I don't even need to read it. Here it is. My boyfriend and I have been together for four years, recently moved in together about six months ago, and everybody in the entire world, us included, were affected by the election crisis. Like the ramp up to the election and the stress that comes along with that and all the daily news and daily junk.
But without having much conversation about it, the two days before the election, she learned that her boyfriend would be voting for the candidate she did not care for. And she is now rethinking her entire relationship with said boyfriend. What to do? Dump them. That's what I mean. You got to dump them. I don't know any other way to put it.
How did that not get talked about before?
Well, there's a little bit more to the email. I need to leave out certain identifying factors, so I don't want to get into every single clue. But I will say this, is that they had agreed they were going to vote for one candidate. And then a couple of days beforehand, he changed his mind and thought for the following reasons.
Oh.
obvious would be the better candidate now of course you probably figure out you don't she voted for harris he voted for trump but you know i'm not gonna allude i'm just gonna say it out loud and what to do here's my opinion on opinion you can have a difference of opinion differences of opinion are what make the world go around i don't think there's any true you know i don't think that a difference of opinion is i don't like blue cheese stuffed olives that's an opinion that is an opinion right do you really not or i not fully i hate blue cheese i love god damn are they and look at us That is fine, but we're not married and we don't live together. I mean, we kind of live together, but, you know, only for like four hours, three days a week.
So that's good. Yeah. But, you know, we we have heard about similar situations going on in our own sphere of influence. Yeah.
Why do the hosts suggest 'Dump Him' in a relationship dilemma?
And how this young lady says, it really makes my stomach turn to think that he voted for the other person.
