What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
In the 90s, we didn't have Google. Like, we had to do this really weird thing, which was just believe people. Such an odd concept. And in fifth grade, this boy, he told me, Mo, if you want to have an orgasm, you have to find your clit. And your clit is in your butt. And I believed him for way too long.
On this episode of The Commercial Break. So your daughter does this too? She just snacks the entire time?
Yeah, and I think she knows that she could break us.
What unique background does Mo Welch bring to her comedy?
She already knows that we're not that difficult. We would give up so much information in an interrogation immediately. Fine, we'll buy you McDonald's.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the captain to my crunch, Kristen Joy. Totally best to you, Chrissy. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
I like that one.
Sometimes I just make shit up right before I turn on the microphone. I'm like, what should I say? Captain to my crunch. That sounds good. Okay. That's a little insight into how Brian's brain works. A little insight into how the entire show works, actually. It just comes into my brain and I say it out loud. For better or for worse, that's how it goes, kids.
How does Mo's upbringing influence her comedic style?
Welcome to another episode. TCB infomercial today with Miss Mo Welsh. Well, Mrs. Mo Welsh. Yes. Who we're excited to have in. Her brand new special, Dad Jokes, on 800-pound gorilla channel on YouTube. Please do check it out. I watched it, and I thought it was really funny. Let me give you a little insight before she comes on, and then we can dig into it. Okay. So, Mo comes from a large Catholic family. She's got four siblings. So, she's one of five. Grew up in this tiny little town in Normal, Illinois. And her dad... Normal. Normal. I know. She talks... I don't want to give any of the... You know, let the jokes be hers. But... But it's not a normal town. Basically, it's how it goes. And none of her siblings turned out to be normal.
You have to watch the special to kind of get to the bottom of it. But just let's say this. One of her siblings is a furry. One of her siblings is a stripper. And one of her siblings, I think, is in jail or something like that. You can check the special out and watch it. Sounds normal. Yeah, sounds normal.
What is the premise of Mo's special 'Dad Jokes'?
Here's why I think this special is really interesting. It's like a docu-comedy, I guess, because it intersperses her stand-up comedy with documentary footage.
Of her life.
Not of her life, of her pilgrimage to find her father and have a chat with him after 20 years of not speaking with him. He was in jail at some point, and then he comes back. Go watch it. It's really funny and interesting. It's an hour, so it's a good digestible bit. And she's got that dark humor that we are such a big fan of here at the commercial break. So Dad Jokes, aptly named Mo Welsh, writer, stand-up comedian. And yeah, we'll talk to her in just a few minutes. Yeah. She does those New Yorker cartoons. I think she's done a few of those. I love it. Those are great. I wish I understood them. They're very highbrow, and I wish I got them, but sometimes I just don't.
I agree.
Do you ever look at that New Yorker and go, yeah, that's too smart for me? I don't know that Mo's done that kind of work, but I'm just sharing that I've seen those cartoons sometimes, and I'm like, I don't get it. Where's the joke? Where's the punchline? But then I remember that, you know, I probably should have gone to college. Yeah. I want to talk about something quickly before we have Mo on. What in the good fuck is going on with Creed? I know Mo's going to be so happy to hear this at the beginning of her episode. Do you know that band Creed?
Of course.
How does Mo describe her experience visiting her father after 20 years?
And we did a show a while back, right? Where there was like a DJ playing Creed over in Ibiza.
Ibiza. No, it was actually in like some little hotel in California or somewhere in Italy or something. Okay. Maybe it was an island. Let's pretend it was an island. Because I don't remember. But I do remember the reel you're talking about.
Well, where she, like, mixed Creed with, you know... Yeah.
