Who is Des Bishop and what is his background?
I can't remember the last time I just took a shit. It was definitely over a decade ago. Because now I am so addicted. That used to be like me time. You know, that was everybody's like, yo, this is me time. Don't bother me. You know, on the throne. You know, now sometimes I'll be like, I'll be running home. I'm so addicted to my phone. I'll get home. I'll make it to the bathroom. Wow, I just made it. And then I realized I left my phone in my jacket. I'll pick my pants back up. I'll go back outside. I'm like, oh my God. I was nearly with myself for two minutes. What would I have done with my thoughts had I not been able to swipe on my Instagram for two minutes while I'm in the bathroom? On this episode of The Commercial Break...
If your wife is anything like my wife, that nanny is going to be at least 60 years old. There's going to be no woman coming in this house.
I have a friend. Sadly, I lost his wife young. But anyway, the in-laws got the nanny, and they made a bad call.
Oh, they did? Ah!
Well, good call or bad call, depends what side of the divide you're on.
Yeah, exactly.
Good call on the nanny's part. But as a result of that story, you can be sure our nanny is definitely going to be 60 years old. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene. This is Kristen Joy, only my best friend and the co-host of this wonderful podcast. Best to you, Chrissy.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us on a infomercial Tuesday with a brother from another mother, Des Bishop, coming in.
I'm so excited.
I've been hot and heavy about this one, Chrissy.
I know.
What more could you want than yet another white, middle-aged man here on the commercial break?
He's good looking, too.
Oh, man. He's a handsome dude. God damn, he's handsome. He really is. So Des Bishop, for those of you that don't know, is the husband of Hannah Berner. When we talked to Hannah, she was... I'm trying to say it properly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Hannah. Hannah. Whatever your name is. Hannah explained that Dez would be a great fit for the commercial break. He should come on. I'll tell him all about you. I figured that was just stuff people in the entertainment industry say to each other. My people will call your people. Call me for tickets. Have my people send out some tickets. All that good stuff. A lot of times when Brian says, you must come back on the show. On the show where they have no choice but to say yes. But he did in fact want to come on the show and here he is today.
And I'm very excited about it. Dez has this special here's how i connected with yeah because you've known about him for a while for a long time i mean i say a long time as long as the podcast has been around because when the pandemic started i don't know how but i got you know served some of his content via instagram and then i was like oh this guy's really funny i like his like his style i like what he's doing up there let me check him out and what i landed on was des bishop breaking china And what this is, is it's a it's a show television show that he did where he spent a year in China learning Mandarin, like perfect Mandarin. And then he did a stand and all for doing stand up. in China, in front of a totally Chinese crowd, in Mandarin.
And he did it, and he got laughs. I don't even think they have stand-up in China. By the way, this was like 10 years ago when he did this or something. It was a long time ago. But I saw it online, and I watched all the episodes, and I just kind of fell in love with the premise. I fell in love with Dez and his style of comedy, and I just think he's one of the funniest comedians out there right now.
I like his style. I mean, just going for it. Yeah, why not just jump right in? Yeah, committing to it. Say you're going to do it. You do it. You move in with a family there and just only talk Mandarin.
That's it. You just dive right in. Let me tell you something about learning another language. Yeah. Then I can get around. But my Spanish is still pretty bad.
