Chapter 1: What experiences do Bryan and Krissy share about working in a Fortune 500 company?
Send this to someone infected with anxiety. You've been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, aka the coward's disease. And that is okay. You are addicted to being scared. Social situations make you act weird and cringe. You love to do panic attacks. Your brain thinks too much, and you're always worried about angering your loved ones or upsetting the hat man.
But I don't judge you about this, and nobody should. Be proud of your infection. Embrace it. Wear fashions about it. It's Anxiety Girl Summer. Let's overthink on the beach and worry about being liked. And always remember, you are loved, even if you're infected with lesbians. On this episode of The Commercial Break...
Chapter 2: What stereotypes from 'The Office' do Bryan and Krissy relate to their experiences?
Not in a misogynistic way, though, Chrissy. No, no, no. We don't want anybody to get the wrong impression.
Can't wait to show her how quick she can get out of here. Faster than you got here. Took you six months to fall in love and be gone in four minutes. Not even six. And this opportunity to show a girl, I always have an opportunity where I put a girl on no contact. I've had Brooklyn on no contact many times. She's on half contact.
Ha, ha, ha. She's on half contact. You're on half contact.
Pauly, Pauly, Pauly, Team Coach P. Team Coach Pauly giving you a shout out. Let's grow together, baby.
Chapter 3: How does Coach Pauly Couch Cushions relate to the podcast universe?
Let's get that commercial break audience over there quickly. She's on half contact. She's on half contact. You're on half a cocktail or something.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
2.30 in the morning! Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Greene. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy. Totally best to you, Kristen. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Kristen and I just reminiscing about the good old days. The bad old days, or whatever you want to call them.
For like 45 minutes.
Yeah.
Sometimes we get sidetracked. The conversation is funny, but only if you knew the people, so we didn't want to clue you into it. You know, everyone's got those tales of the friendships and the craziness that goes around in your own friendship group or friends past or acquaintances that you knew, but it's only funny if you knew them. Right. And they're all the same stereotypes.
Crazy lady who dates too much. Crazy lady who fucks too much. Crazy guy who fucks too much. Undercover drug addict. Undercover gay guy. You know, all the same stuff.
The office is really not the show. The office is really not a bad representation of actual offices.

Chapter 4: What humorous anecdotes do the hosts share about relationships and dating?
I think that's why it's so successful.
Yeah. What's her name?
The romances, the things, this, that, whatever. It's funny.
When Meredith was on, I say Meredith because that's who I know her as. When Meredith was on from The Office here at the commercial break, she said that one of the successes of the show was taking the stereotypes that we all know and exaggerating them to levels that are undeniable because you know, everyone knows those personalities. There's the tweety dork guy who kisses up to the
To the manager, to the boss at every turn. There's the smart ass who likes to pull the pranks. There's the girl that everybody wants to be with. There's this, you know, the sexed up secretary or whatever. There's the sexed up, you know, HR manager. It's all there. It's all there. We all know it.
Chrissy and I happen to have worked at a Fortune 500 company that was very much full of those kind of characters. And it's radio nonetheless, which is like restaurants on drugs, which restaurants are already on drugs. So it's like being on double drugs. It's just a place for misfit toys to come and spend some time and pretend they're in the real world with real jobs. That's what they do.
And you can become fabulously successful in radio. We knew a lot of people. Well, you used to. I'm sure there still are a few people making great money. As a matter of fact, when we worked there, some people in our own office building were making salaries that I just could not believe for the life of me.
I don't want to put a salary to the actual title, but there were people in our building that were making a half a million dollars or more a year. And that just seemed insane to me. There were salespeople that were taking home $350,000, $400,000. Now, they had been there for a very long time.

Chapter 5: How do Bryan and Krissy discuss the concept of 'half-contact' in relationships?
They were legacy salespeople. That's the thing.
Yeah. Once you've been there and you've built that client list and you're consistent, yeah, then you can do it. But when you're brand new coming in, there's no chance.
There's no chance. And that's why radio is truly survival of the fittest, which is not unlike most any other industry that you may work in. It's survival of the fittest. Can you outlast, outmaneuver and outstrategize the next the dipshit in the cubicle next to you or standing next to you on the warehouse floor or driving the truck or whatever it is?
I was talking to one of my family members who was explaining that, you know, he works in a I want to be careful about how how I say this. He works in a union. That's probably the best way to say it. He works in a union and he says that his whole goal in life is to not rock the boat. To be there on time. Yes, sir. No, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. No, sir. Just do the thing.
Always be willing to work the extra day to stay the extra hour, whatever, and go home when you're told. And if there's extra work to be done, you volunteer to do it. You never take a day off. Don't complain. Schedule your doctor's appointments when it's not a working day and get on with life. Because he says there's so many people that do that in the union that
If I'm the one guy who doesn't do it or one of the guys who doesn't do that, when the next project comes up, they will call me first because they'll go, he gives me no shit. He gives me no shit.
Dependable.
He's dependable. And radio very much – I mean, I think there's a lot more politicking that goes on in radio, probably in the union too, but there's a lot more politicking that goes on in radio.

Chapter 6: What insights does Coach Pauly provide about dating and respect in relationships?
You really have to be kind of like – Pretty slick. Sly. Yeah, sly and slick to get your way through radio. But at least that's what I observed. But by the time you're a couple of years in, fuck it. You're like the last man standing. And now you have the Budweiser account. You're making $150,000 a year doing nothing. But showing up at cool events and drinking beer and going to the strip club.
That's it. That's all you got to do. So obviously Chrissy and I were not smart enough. To survive even the first round.
I did get the Budweiser account. You did. But then.
You lost it.
No, I never lost it. But by that point, I was so fed up with the whole situation.
Just terrible.
I was like, I got to get out of here.
Didn't you get Yingling too? Uh-huh. Did you have Budweiser and Yingling at the same time? Yes. Wow. Good for you.
That Yingling party was the one we did that St.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts critique the advice given by Coach Pauly?
St. Patrick's Day. That was one to remember or not remember if you're Chrissy.
Yeah.
That was, yeah, that was. Yinglings here in Atlanta. Let's get everybody blackout drunk and send them to the hotel next door. That's right. So anyway, welcome to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is Chris.
I'm just kidding. Hey, cats and kittens.
Hey, cats and kittens. I just saw a post like 15 minutes ago as we're recording this. I don't know how old it is. Champagne Poppy, Drake. Oh. He's posting on his Instagram. And he, I think he might have a stake in that steak company. And I'll say steak like the meat, S-T-A-K-E, which I believe is a betting company if I'm not mistaken. Let me check this out real quick. Steak, S-T-A-K-E.
E, Stake Casino. That's right. Stake Casino. Now, I think Stake and Drake, I think they... Stake and Drake. Stake and Drake. Drake has a significant partnership with Stake, a cryptocurrency-based online casino and sports betting platform. Wow.

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do Bryan and Krissy share about relationships and self-respect?
that involves Drake promoting Stake through various channels, including social media, live streams, and events. Okay, so I think it's fair to say that Drake gets preferential treatment at this betting company, Stake, at the very least.
He posted a screenshot of his account at Stake, and he posted, one, he was betting on the NBA Finals, and he bet, I'm just using large numbers here because I forgot what the actual numbers are, $400,000 to return a $1.6 million. Okay, not particularly strange for a sports figure or celebrity to gamble that much money. Happens all the time.
Fim Nicholson is estimated to have gambled half a billion dollars in his lifetime with the MGM.
He was a big gambler.
He's a big gambler. He had to get out of trouble. And that's how he got one of his sponsors. They bailed him out of like $200 million in debt. That is the story on the streets. Who knows if it's really true. But then Drake, a couple of stories later, posts, I gotta be real and post the real, right? Like post what really goes on. His account for the week, he had bet $24 million that week.
He was in the hole, $5 million. But year to date, Fortnite, year to date, $124 million he had bet. He was $8 million in the hole. $124 million. Wow. Drake, I don't know you. You don't know me. I could take or leave your music. I understand you're a pretty big deal. You could spend a million dollars on the commercial break, and at the very least, you wouldn't lose $8 million.
You might not make any money like us, but you at least wouldn't lose $8 million. It is beyond me how you, even with hundreds of millions of dollars or a billion dollars or whatever Drake is worth, how you could spend $124 million on betting. And then you say, well, Brian, you just said Phil Mickelson spent half a billion dollars. Yeah, but I don't have the screenshot. I don't have the receipts.
It's like it's right there in stark reality.
I guess when you make big bets and win big, then the money gets on up there.
