What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
As a librarian, I get frustrated and angry when I don't have the resources I need to help people find the information they want. Well, I never in all my life. Ma'am. Ma'am? I came in here to find out something about the surgery my doctor wants to do on my heart. Well, I know you're upset and you're scared about this angioplasty procedure, but we just don't seem to have anything on clogged arteries and balloon surgeries. I'm sorry. On this episode of the Commercial Break... The Washington Monument, the rusting nature of man. The Eiffel Tower, thrusting, penetrating nature of man. The space station, basically a big penis.
A big, hearty, wrecked penis in the space sky.
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 the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley.
How does Reggie Watts influence the conversation?
Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. Here we are. I wanted to say this really quickly. Pretty soon, you're going to hear the second... Coming of John Zahn and of Reggie Watts here on the commercial break.
Oh, right.
And so he just announced, just like today, he just announced that he'll be going on tour next year. A fairly extensive tour. I think it's like 16, 18 cities, something like that. So if you get a chance, go check out Reggie. Tickets are available now.
What is the significance of the TCB server mentioned?
We love Reggie. He's so interesting. He's so interesting. If you want to see an interesting comedy show, like, you know, not the... You know, callback response, punchline, setup, punchline. There are some comedians out there who are doing this really well, just being unique. And Reggie is the uniqueness of the uniques, I think, in my opinion, doing it right now. It'll be music, it'll be comedy, it'll be shenanigans. Reggie Watts, tickets are on sale, so go check it out. And then you'll hear his second interview with us. Maybe, maybe... Next week? Or maybe you already heard it this week? I don't know. Who knows?
How do the hosts address the concept of masculinity?
Because we are recording in bundles so that we can take some time off. Chrissy's going to Mempho. I am getting surgery. So we're going to be taking some time off. I'm going to be getting that hyperparathyroid taken out, Chrissy. Yes. Yeah. Did I tell you that they... Sent me a link to the video.
Yes, you did. I did, yeah. And you said you shouldn't have watched it.
I should not have watched that video. Should not have watched that video because now I go to sleep. I'd like right before I go to sleep, you know, like that little phase where you're like in and out of it a little bit.
What are the challenges of modern relationships discussed?
All I can see is my neck being slid open and it doesn't feel good. That's not a feeling anybody wants.
I know, but it sounds like you're the best of care.
I am in the best of hands, literally. Astrid will be doing this with sterilized silverware. So it's going to be... It's going to be good for the whole family.
It's a whole family affair.
It's a whole family affair. That's what it is. Scalpel. Knife. I started watching... Spatula. Spatula. I don't like... Anyway, I don't want to get into it because it's just going to eat me up.
What humorous anecdotes are shared about photography?
Tongs. Tongs. Hand me that t-shirt. He's bleeding. Stuff it in there. I started watching Shogun.
Which is amazing. I love that show.
Did you watch it? Yeah. You did? Okay. I'm like through the most of the first episode. Yeah. It's not necessarily my thing.
How does the discussion shift to the 'thrusting nature of man'?
I don't love period pieces. It's not my thing. But I do have to say I'm impressed so far. It's been interesting.
It took me a little while to really get into it. Go through the first two episodes.
I'm in now.
Give it two and then you want more and more and more.
I'm going to do it. And there's what, ten episodes altogether?
There's a great story to it.
It just takes a while to get into the characters.
They kind of give you a lot of backstory to start with, I think. But then the story itself starts to come together.
I will have to say, if we're going to do a period piece, Japan in the 1400s through 1600s is a cool period to look at because it's so different from our culture.
