On this episode of The Commercial Break.
I almost tripped out on that corner because they had jazz bar, jazz bar, tofu restaurant, Atlanta Punchline, and some Mexican restaurant with a Sharpie, and then the daycare.
And right across the street, they had the strip club. Flashers. Iconic.
Flashers. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Hey there, cats and kittens, and best to you. Welcome to the episode before the episode that officially starts season number six of The Commercial Break. Here's a history lesson. On March 10th, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the very first phone call to his assistant, Tom Watson. And do you want to know what the first thing ever said was? Speak louder, you dipshit. I can't hear you. And then Watson and Bell went on to figure out how to charge us all a bunch of money to send electrical signals across wires. And when I was born, if you wanted to call a place like England, you'd pick up your physical phone sticking to your kitchen wall, dial zero, and have an actual person help you connect to the phone number across the pond.
Then AT&T would charge you $26.56 a minute to say three words, wait six minutes, and hear three words back. And if you were lucky, you'd be able to understand each other. But if it was raining or the sun flares were out or whatever the fuck, it's likely you'd hear some weird echo, fuzzy noises, or just generally have a shitty connection. Telephone technology has come a long way. Now I can call Timbuk2, and it'll sound like that person sitting right next to me. Why am I giving you this lesson, you ask? Well, here's a TCB history lesson. Early on in the show, I made a decision, for better or for worse, to air everything that came out of the microphones. You see, some podcasters like to cut out the ums and the ahs and the breaths.
And they even go so far as to fact check and make sure the things that they are saying are actually true. Not here on the commercial break. When I speak, I'm just as dumb as I sound. So when you hear an episode of the commercial break, there's almost zero editing of the actual content. This is a very long precursor to today's episode with the incredibly talented comedian Felipe Esparza. A couple of weeks before the holidays, Chrissy had to take a day off. So Christina joined me in the studio when I interviewed Felipe. And even though we're using the magic technology of 2024, this episode at times sounds like we're making the very first phone call in 1876. We didn't realize any of this until long after Felipe had said goodbye. Then I struggled and striped in my own brain.
