I still don't know what's in the vaccine, and I'll never know what's in the vaccine. I'm not so stupid, I'm gonna go sit down to find out how fucking dumb I am. Yeah, I got the vaccine. Yes, I got all the boosters. If it saves my life, fine. If it kills me, great. But the last thing you will ever see me do is Google what's in the vaccine and then sit there and pretend as though I understand the words that I'm reading. Whoa, Glorbosol, whoa, whoa, whoa, actually, whoa. Actually, that is like a big deal. I didn't know we were there yet with Glorbosol. Glad that's in there, but I'll tell you what, that tetratranazine, that's got me wondering, who's really in charge?
On this episode of The Commercial Break.
The start of that show was when Amazon was getting into streaming shows. And I remember this was absurd to everybody because everyone was like, Amazon is where I buy packages. And yet they were going to now do TV. So it seemed crazy. But they decided to do this competition where they would give all these applicants a certain amount of money to make a pilot. They would post all the pilots and whoever got the most views, the top two would like get a show. Yeah. And so these guys came up with this show. They hired me to play the principal. These are my friends on the lowest budget shooting something at a high school in Denver. And I didn't take it seriously at all.
The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you.
Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. It's a TCB Infomercial Tuesday with Rory Scovell. I am so excited to have him here with us today. This has been a long time in the making. I asked a long time ago for Rory to show up, and he did not. He did not. And now he is here, and I am very excited because one of my favorite television shows of all time is a show called Those Who Can't. It's a television show that had a brief run on TruTV three or four seasons, I think, and now you can't even find it. We were just looking for it, and you can't find it.
I know. It's crazy, but it is one of the—
Oh, yeah, he's also been on Physical. He's been in a lot. Babylon. He's been in a lot of television programs. He's done a lot of stand-up. And he is known as an improvisational comic. He's like on the top of the mountain as far as improv comedy is concerned. He's always down there. Largo. We're going to Largo, darling. We're going to Largo to see Rory and Conan. And maybe catch a little John Mayer of Largo. I wish I was in L.A. so I could go to Largo.
I know. We'd be down there.
Yeah, just to say you're going to Largo. I'm going to Largo, darling. I'm going to Largo.
Meet me at Largo.
Meet me at Largo. And you'd think Largo is this magical place with palm trees growing in the middle of it and a pool where they have girls in one-piece bathing suits and bathing caps. Largo seems like a magical place. But then you look at it, it looks like a dining hall. It's like a dining hall. But Largo... If you go to their Instagram, anybody who's anybody is at Largo. And I saw during the pandemic, the COVID, I saw Rory was at Largo a lot. So you know he must be good because everyone's there. Everyone's showing up at Largo. Every comic we've had on this show, maybe with the notable exception of just a few, I've seen their picture at Largo over the last six months. It's insane. And then some we haven't had, like Conan.
Right. Well, they do music and stand up.
They're known for a lot of things. So anyway, so Rory is a very diverse, very well-rounded actor and comedian. And I just couldn't be more excited. This is like a personal.
Yes.
It's a personal. I'm personally fanboying just a little bit because those who can't is great. And you can't find it anywhere. So I implore you, the listener, to write into True TV or whoever owns the rights. I think it's True TV. Release. Release the hounds. Yes. Release those who can't.
