Chapter 1: What surgery is Bryan discussing and what are its implications?
On this episode of the commercial break. Wait one minute. Don't forgive quite yet. First you have to do the ritual beating of the person you're upset with. And then you can do all the forgiving you want. You're blocked!
You're blocked, bitch!
First you have to do the blocking. I'm blocking her. No more Facebook messages. Why do I have a feeling all these ladies are currently on Nextdoor? Oh yeah, for sure. Ah!
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Oh, yeah.

Chapter 2: How does Bryan's experience with his cardiologist unfold?
Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this incredibly dumb podcast, Krista Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Krista.
Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe. How are you? Thank you for joining us, the two of us, here with you again for the 55th time this week. Nice to hear from you. We're here just for a brief moment before I venture off into the best sleep I've ever had. We had a friend who had this surgery.
The same surgery that you're getting?
Yeah, it's actually funny because now that we have been talking about this, my wife and I, we have one family member and a couple of friends. One had the surgery, a friend we know directly, and one's friend's mother had the surgery. Yes.

Chapter 3: What humorous anecdotes does Bryan share about his health journey?
Really? And they said what a huge relief the recovery was, like almost a complete reversal of symptoms in general, like 100%. And I was like, God bless America. I no longer have an excuse to take a nap. But so I'm going to get it while I can. I'll take a nice nap today. I'll tell Astrid how it's hired. I'm filled with calcium. My upper calcium has got me, babe. Gotta take a nap.
And she'll feel for me, and she'll go, okay, you go nap, and I'll take care of the kids. I'm so sorry I can't help you. I really want to be there for you and the kids, but it's my condition.
It's got the best of me. You need some local medicine.
Chapter 4: What is the significance of the psychic show in Niagara Falls?
Yes, I'll tell our network, I'm sorry about all those best ofs, but it's my condition. And so I kind of feel shitty because I'll no longer have that excuse. But hey, whatever. You'll feel better. I'll feel better. I'll feel better in general. So there I go off to Na Na Land. But anyway, so I was talking to this guy that I know. And he's not like me.
He's not probably as sensitive as I am to every little whim of my own body. You know, he's not probably as neurotic as I am about it. And he's like a man's man, you know, like a big burly man's man. And so I'm like, hey. So anyway, we go to this kid's thing for Halloween and my wife is talking to his wife. And they're off like, I don't know, 15 feet away from us.
Chapter 5: How do Bryan and Krissy react to the psychic convention content?
And all of a sudden Astrid starts waving her hands furiously like one of our kids had run out in the street or something. And I'm like, what? And she's like, he had it. He had the surgery. And she's like pointing to his neck. And I'm like, who's choking? And she's like, no, the surgery. And so I'm like, oh, hey, man, you had the surgery? And he's like, what surgery?
And I go, oh, the parathyroid surgery. He's like, oh, yeah, a couple of years ago. I don't know. I was feeling shitty. And I got a couple of high calcium readings and they sent me to the doctor and I got it removed. And I have like a tumor and I got it removed.
Chapter 6: What unconventional advice do they offer regarding emotional healing?
And I was like, no shit. I got it, too. And he's like, yeah, yeah, cool, cool. And I'm like, OK, cool, cool. Like, cool, cool. Like, all right. What does that mean?
You know, tell me.
Tell me everything.
I'm like a woman.
I'm like, tell me everything. I want to know who the doctor was. What was he wearing? What were you wearing? Was it sunny or cloudy outside?

Chapter 7: How do crystals play a role in their discussions about wellness?
How did you get there? What did you have for breakfast?
Speaking of wearing, do you have your recovery outfit that you're going to be wearing? Your comfy?
Oh, I do. Your jammies? No, I've got a G-string banana hammock.
Whatever makes you comfortable. Whatever's your comfy attire.
If you're going to cut my neck open, you've got to be comfortable with one of my balls hanging out of the frock. You know what I'm saying? I'm a crazy old man filled with calcium. What do you want me to do? Yeah, I figure I'm going to bring a pair of jam jams, like a sweatpants, you know, sweatpants and a t-shirt. That's kind of the outfit I always wear anyway, so I'll just do that.

Chapter 8: What conclusions do they draw about the nature of psychic abilities?
Jeans and a t-shirt, sweatpants and a t-shirt. So I say to the guy, so now I'm so excited to know another person. Like, it's not a commonly diagnosed thing, you know, 100,000 people in the United States. It's certainly a lot more common than other very rare diseases, but it's not exactly common.
Well, and it's only just in the past, what, 20 years? 20 years. That they've discovered that this was a thing.
Yeah, you know, I read the other day that there may be a connection between fibromyalgia in women and this condition.
Oh, really?
Which would make a lot of sense. Aches and pains, you can't explain. Fatigue, depression, anxiety. A lot of the stuff that people are commonly treated with, like narcotic pain medication, because they just don't know what it is. It's like this general term for unspecified pain in your body. And now some doctors are starting to study the connection between hyperparathyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
It definitely should be studied. Yeah, I agree.
It does make sense. Because I had a doctor one time tell me, it sounds like you're describing the symptoms of fibromyalgia. And he goes, and no, it's not as common in men. It does happen. And I was like, well, what is that? And he's like, well, we don't really know.
I'm like, oh, that's great. Thanks.
I appreciate that. Anyway, so I'm like, dude, tell me all about it, bro. Like, how'd you feel? What were you feeling? What were your levels? What were your numbers?
