on this episode of the Commercial Break.
Well, what was the message?
The message, we don't know what the message was.
Well, that could mean something.Correct.I still like your dick, and then you like that.You like that, then that's no bueno.
I like the silky smooth feeling of your penis inserted into my vagina.And then you like that.
Yeah, and then the guy likes that, that's different.Then like, hey, good luck on the show.
Right.Hey, I heard you're on Love is Blind.I hope everything works out.
Like, okay, that's different.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Hey cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.I'm Brian Greene, this is my dear friend and the co-host, Kristen Joy Hoadley.Best of you, Kristen.
And best of you out there in the podcast universe, how are you?We're back.
I'll talk more about my parathyroid surgery tomorrow, mañana, as they would say in Spain, mañana.But if my voice is a little throaty, then just excuse me, because I had a scalpel all in there, digging around in my throat.
But luckily, I still have a voice.
We're glad to have you back with your voice.
Yeah, I was wondering if I'd come back with like an octave higher or an octave lower.Do I sound any different?
I don't think I... I don't hear myself sounding any different.
Yeah, it's a little raspy.
It's a little raspy.That's all those cigarettes I was smoking after my parathyroid surgery.
Oh, my God.You know, for some reason, I really wanted a cigarette after my surgery.Really?
Because of your anxiousness?
Yeah, it was all that fentanyl that they were giving me. They give me 50 micrograms of fentanyl right afterwards.Like they don't give you, for a parathyroid surgery, the standard is don't give narcotic pain medication afterwards.And I understand why.
First of all, you're down in Florida, which was like one big pill mill for like 26 years.
And probably still is with all those old people down there.They probably hand out a lot of pain medication. But second of all, you're inside behind someone's thyroid.
I don't think there's like a ton of nerve endings down there, so you get a sore throat.But they say that every half hour you should feel like 10% better.And it's really true.It's not like a ton of pain.It just feels like a bad sore throat.
So they say in the paperwork beforehand, we don't, as a rule, give out pain medication after surgery.But I woke up and I was in some pain.And so she's like, OK, I'm going to order 50 micrograms of fentanyl.And I thought, oh, here we go.
And on the ride I went.Now I understand.50 micrograms, micrograms of fentanyl.And I went on quite a ride.So anybody that has had an acre of fentanyl, let me know and I'll give you an address to send it to.I'm kidding.I'm kidding.I'm kidding.
Send it to my P.O.box.Send it to my P.O.box.So Halloween right around the corner.Manana, as they would say.Manana.
Yeah.So what are you going to dress up as?
I think I'm going to be Wonder Woman.
Will you wear underwear?I'm just curious.
As pants, which is on trend right now.Oh, you're going to wear pants?Well, underwear as pants is the trend right now.
Yes, I do have to say, I do know this.I know that ass cheeks, ass treaks are all the rage right now.Everyone has ass treaks.When we were down in Tampa at the airport, there was many a young lady with their ass treaks hanging out.
And I thought to myself, I guess it's just kind of trendy to be cheeky right now.
Yeah, maybe it's harking back to the old Daisy Duke era.And all 90s stuff is like brand new again.
But Asher and I were standing in front of like someone getting on an airplane and it was like a father and a mother and a daughter.And that daughter, I imagine she was heading to some kind of sports related activity to go down to Tampa.
We were in Atlanta waiting on the airplane. And the length of the shorts was... I mean, no shorts, zero shorts.It was like wearing a thong, basically.
And Asher and I were looking at each other, and I just thought to myself, my future is filled with stress, anxiety, and dread.
There may have been a time when I was like, hot ass, but now I'm like, have my daughters ever decided to walk out of the house like that? I'm gonna be so stressed out.So stressed out.So Wonder Woman, what's Jeff gonna dress as?
Well, he has the standard mask that he wears every year.It's an old man mask, and it's scary.It's rubbery.
Oh, he's got like a go-to.
He puts it on and... He puts on a rubber, does he?And then scares the kids. I have.I'm so excited to scare the kids this year.I've got this mental patient.
It was just his birthday, wasn't it?It was.Does he need to wear the mask anymore?
Yes.Yes.He will never look like this again.Wait, you've got a mental patient?I do.I have a mental patient robot thing that is just sitting, waiting, waiting for the kids to come up to the door.
Oh, you have one of those fucking things that when you walk up, it scares the shit out of you?
Yeah, it's motion activated, but I have not. I have not turned it on at all because I didn't want to scare the postman and any other delivery people that are delivering things.I've kept it off.
It just sits there and it's kind of creepy just sitting there looking at you.But when I turn it on, it is motion detected and it has its arms tied behind its back and it tries to get out.
Fuck you.Fuck you. Last year, I took one of the kids trick-or-treating with my father-in-law because the other two were sick.They were ill at the time.
And so I went over to the neighborhood next door and one of the houses, it just looks like a regular house and they have a few scattered decorations out front.Door closed, lights off, and it's kind of like twilight when we went, right?
Like that six o'clock hour. And because I have little kids and so I don't take them when it's actually dark outside.But they had like this spider in the front yard and then they had like a ghost near the door and then a couple of pumpkins.
It didn't look all that scary to me until I got close.And when I got close, that fucking spider, which was like the size of a large dog, popped up out of the ground three and a half feet with its eyes all...
Chrissy, I literally shat my, I was like, I shat a little in my pants.I was so scared.
I know it's the point, but fuck you, fuck that.
I don't like jump scares, I'm not into it.
I probably won't turn it on until maybe a little later.
Yeah, I don't, I would be angry at you.
Yeah, because we need to get the little kids first.
I'm excited to hand out candy, though, too, which, you know, it's expensive.
Oh my God, everything's expensive.
I know, but- Everything's so fucking expensive.I was like, I want to get some Halloween candy, and I was like, You know a hundred dollars a hundred dollars to it.
Yeah Here's the fucking thing about having little little kids is that you know I remember when I used to go trick-or-treating.This is basically what happened My mom would dress me up like a hobo, right?Every year for like 10 years in a row.
I would be a hobo until I was a vampire hobo one year She let me put like fake teeth and some blood coming down.Yeah, but I was still a hobo So I was like, you know dracula the hobo or something like that.I'm, not even sure
But we would get home from school, the twilight hour would appear.
I'd get changed.Head on out.Head on out.No parents.Parents, what are you talking about?We'd just walk around the neighborhood knocking on the door with friends in the neighborhood.And I remember doing this as young as I can remember.
So probably six, seven, eight years old.I mean, I'm sure there was a parent somewhere, but I just don't remember them.And then when I came here to Atlanta, 11, 12, 13 years old, never once was there a parent involved in trick-or-treating.
I went out by myself.Now,
I don't have a house where, like, I see a lot of trick-or-treaters because I'm on a very busy road, but sometimes, occasionally, I'll see kids on their own, but there's always, like, an older brother or sister involved, it feels like.
When I was a kid, there were no parents that went trick-or-treating with us.We just did it.That's just, we went out and hoped that we didn't get murdered.I mean, that was it.
Hoped that someone didn't take us in their house and murder us.
And, but now these kids are so pampered.They don't even go to houses now.They're literally, we're going to 17 different events over the next three days.All of them are trunk or treats.
You know, we pop open the back of the car and then you decorate it in some way, shape or form. And then the kids walk from car to car with their parents and we hand them out candy.It's not even a house anymore.
It's just, you just go and they just give you free candy.Half the parents don't do candy anymore because candy is a big no-no.So, you know, you're allergic to something.It's too much sugar.We have enough candy at home.
So you get shitty little plastic toys or, you know, some kind of educational device that no one gives a shit about. These kids are so pampered, they don't understand what it is to really be scared that you might be kidnapped.
That's what Halloween was always about for us, and now it lacks its luster.It's all gone, Chrissy.We take the shine off everything.
I know, I hear about the parties, the neighborhood parties, golf carts, bouncy houses. house parties.
That's where we're going.We're going to somebody's neighborhood where the bouncy houses and the, you know, I guess we're just going to sit in a parking lot and go from table to table collecting candy.That's not trick-or-treating.
There's no fun in that.You don't get an old lady to yell at you.You don't get that random house with absolutely no lights on, but you have to make a decision whether or not you're going to knock on the door.You know what I'm saying?
You don't get the creepy old guy like, you know, take a spin and let me see your outfit. Let me see your outfit.Come closer to Uncle Tom.You don't get any of that because everything is so, I don't know, it's like padded.
We all have those bowling alley lane balloons that blow up in our lives.Not the ones who come to my house, though. Oh no.I will be scaring.You will be scaring them.Well, because you have the jump scare.
I'm giving out tricks and treats.
Are you giving just mainly candy or are you also giving toys away?
Yeah.Okay.See, you're the good house that I would go to.
And you're going to get two.
Yeah. You get two pieces of candy.When I was a kid, for like three years, I went to my good friend Phillip's house because he had a big neighborhood and I was never into Halloween.
I think mainly because I was dressed up like a hobo for seven years and that was rather embarrassing.So I also, like Jeff, got a mask when I was like 11, 12 years old and I just wore that mask over and over again.
I made zero effort to get dressed up.I would have jeans, a t-shirt, and that stupid mask.I'd get a pillowcase and we'd walk around the neighborhood.In that neighborhood, there were a lot of houses that were dark.
And now you know that that means I don't want any fucking kids.
For whatever reason.I have dogs.I have animals.I don't practice Halloween.I'm not home.Whatever it is. But in that neighborhood, I will never forget, there was one house, dark as it could be, no welcoming signs whatsoever.
But if you made that brave walk up the leaf-covered driveway with the craggedy old trees and the shitty house with spiderwebs, not fake spiderwebs, real spiderwebs everywhere, if you managed to ring that doorbell,
you would get a full Kit Kat bar, Snickers bar, Butterfinger bar, whatever it was, because there was an old lady that lived there, and I don't think she really practiced, I don't think she really wanted kids at her front door, but if you managed to make your way up there, I think she just had random candy bars in her drawers and she would just give them to you.
And every year, three years in a row, we would go to that house and we would get candy bars. until the fourth year, like the last year that we went there.
And we rang the doorbell and hoping the old lady would open the door because now the house is like, now, you know, the house, that's the house you want to go to first.And same dark, you know, house, same unkempt driveway, same, all that other stuff.
And we went up to the door and a younger lady opened up the door and she handed out She handed out pencils, number two pencils, with Halloween, like a Halloween theme, right?
And she was like, here's some pencils for you know, I hope you study hard, you get good grades in school.
And at that time I was like 14 years old, and I was like, oh, I remember an older lady here, you know, and she's like, that's my mother, and she got too crazy spending too much money on the candy, so we got number two pencils.
Fuck you and your number two pencils.That's what I gotta say.But now... I'm checking out our booty that we're going to be giving out at our Million Trunk or Treats and Astrid's got like number two pencils.Part of it.And stickers and stuff like that.
And I'm like, hun, I'm going to get the kids candy?And she's like, no one wants candy.I know.
Well, it does become a problem.Kids love it, obviously.Kids love it.Oh, but then it's the week after.And maybe even more than a week after.
We talked about this last year.You're one who is the really tall one.I am the same.Yes.Your youngest.
And was like climbing up on top of the fridge or the cabinets of the fridges to get the candy.
And this year she's twice as tall.She can reach.Yeah, I think she just reaches now. She's a year and a half.She's six foot two.
I do have to say, and I will, you know, I'm just not like a total hypocrite now, but I will have to say that I will appreciate the fact that the kids didn't get all candy.They have a Halloween parade upward near where I live.
And they actually call it the Youth Day Parade.It's not the Halloween Parade.I think because Halloween might upset some people, so they just call it the Youth Day Parade.
But it's thousands... I mean, I'm being... Obviously, I'm exaggerating, but it feels like thousands of cars and floats, you know, little community floats, trailers with kids on the back.
And every single car, every single float, every person that walks down has a bag full of candy and not the shitty... not Tootsie Rolls, nerds, Butterfingers, sour gummies, and they just toss them at the side of the street.
And there's thousands of children a mile up and down this street that just grab this candy.And by the end of the Youth Day Parade, you have bags and bags of candy.It's like an embarrassment of riches.I oftentimes feel bad.
There are children in this world that don't eat, and my kids have 14 bags worth of Halloween candy two weeks before Halloween even comes.
Oh, wow.Yeah.So yeah, you've got enough candy.
Yes.It is a joke in this community that oftentimes when you'll go to houses to do trick-or-treat, what you'll get is you'll get the candy from the youth day parade because you have so much of it.
That's a good way to recycle it, actually.
I know, that's exactly it.And give it away.Yes.So three years in a row, even though we don't get a lot of trick-or-treaters, I'll put candy out in that basket and I'll put it out in front of the house.We're always somewhere else.
Didn't you show the Ring camera last year, too?
Chrissy, every fucking year, the same shitty kid takes my fucking candy.Every year.But you know what?My faith in humanity is not totally gone.I'm going to do it again this year.
Maybe I'll bring you.Maybe I'll bring the mental patient up here for you.
Oh, I've got a mental patient.Her name is Blue.Right, that's true.We've got two mental patients, Brian and Blue. I swear to God.
That's the other thing, too, is that I'm glad that we leave because and I'm glad we don't have a house where the doorbell rings a lot, because that would go fucking bananas.
And I do understand how some people really get very stressed out that about the fireworks, and about people ringing their doorbell, because I also have a shitty little fucking dog that will do nothing but bark incessantly.
The entire time on Halloween, we put her in the back because quite frankly, I know it's stressful for You know, she's just trying to defend the house from creepy crawlies.
And then she looks outside and she sees like, you know, discombobulated, dismembered head walking through the streets.It's, I like Halloween for like 30 minutes every year.That's, that's the extent of like- Oh, I love it.
You know, I started buying stuff back in like over the summer.Remember, I bought those skeletons and pumpkins and everything.
Ever since I've known you, you've liked Halloween.And ever since I've known you, I don't like Halloween. I don't go to the parties.We're set in our ways.I know.Have we ever been to a Halloween party together?
You know, they used to have that big, huge one at Piedmont Park.I think the radio station was a part of when we worked there.Oh, yeah, yeah.At the restaurant at the park?Yes, at the restaurant at the park.We did that one year.
But I don't know other than that that you and I have really... Because, I mean, Halloween parties in your 20s, they get crazy.There's alcohol and sexy outfits involved.
Oh my God.Did you come with me one time to that house party that's pretty notorious here in Atlanta?Yes.Yes.Yes.Okay.So we've been to two Halloween parties together.Yeah.That is the house party and it doesn't happen.
It's not, they don't, they don't have it anymore, but they used to have it literally in an old funeral home.This guy owned a house.Yeah.
And they would drive a hearse around, uh, to promote it, drive around town to promote it.
It was a house party where they would promote it by driving around a hearse. And it was huge.Thousands of people would show up to this, various states of undress, many different illegal activities going on.And it was just awesome.
I think eventually I think, well, he got a little old and I think he settled down.
I think there was a divorce involved too.
There was, someone got the house and someone didn't get the house.But I think a couple of years in a row, the police were like, you got to get them back.Because I remember when you and I went, I think we had to park three miles down the street.
And we were friends with the guy.We couldn't get premier parking.I think neighbors were charging for parking spots.
Yeah, there's pictures of us.I think that was Jeff and I, maybe his first Halloween with the group.
Yeah, I think you might be right.Yeah, we were all at that party.Wow.Wow. Yeah, we got old.When did we get old?Now my Halloween party.
He's getting old, I'm still having fun.
I'm looking forward to bouncy houses and trunker treats.
This year it's Halloween on a Thursday, which means next year it'll be on a Friday.Oh my gosh, speaking of the neighbors behind us had a huge Halloween party on Friday night and Jeff and I were like the creepy old
You guys were just like, oh, yeah.
We like actually walked out and sat on our porch and we're like, you know, watching and listening.And then finally I was like, I can't be the creepy people anymore.Let's go inside and watch.But the police got called at 6 a.m.The police arrived.
Yeah, we had gone to bed, but all of a sudden, woo, woo.
I was like, oh my God, they kept partying.Yeah, you were like, we used to do that.We used to do that.
I don't envy someone.I don't envy it one bit.I got to be honest.I enjoy my sleep.Yeah.Now when I stay up till 6 a.m., it's because of my acute thyroidism.
The babies are waking me up.Now I get up at 6 a.m.I don't go to sleep at 6 a.m.anymore.All right.We got lots more to talk about.Let's take a break and we'll be back.

I mean, you never want to see someone barricaded in somewhere with a gun, but at the Four Seasons, what do you have to complain about?
What the fuck are you doing?
We just got a notification that there was a gunman barricaded at the Four Seasons.Barricading themselves at the Four Seasons.What problems do you have?
If you can afford the Four Seasons, what issues do you have that are that bad that you've got to barricade yourself in with a gun? I mean, I hope everybody's okay.
I really do.Of course.Yeah.Well, I guess he's missing the Halloween party.
What band is playing in town?
Oh yeah, that's true.They all stay at the Four Seasons.
I think it's P Diddy. Oh my god, that P. Diddy, man.Wow.
I mean, every day it's another story, and yesterday it was a 10-year-old that was accusing him.A 10-year-old.I mean, that is a certain kind of sickness.That is really a certain kind of sickness, if true.
Of course, you know, innocent until proven guilty, but man, wow.P. fucking Diddy.I mean, I knew the guy was wild.
Everyone knew it.All you had to do was pay any attention whatsoever.And the guy came from the streets and he was part of that era of rap that was like the golden... But I don't know about the whole underbelly here.
No, I mean, listen, I had heard stories on certain shows, like Stern, when certain people would come in and Stern would poke them about P. Diddy parties, like, tell me about him.Tell me about how rowdy they got.
And it leads me now to believe that Stern may have heard things all along, and he was trying to get somebody to say something on air.
Now, I could be reading way too much into that, but some people did say things now, looking back in hindsight, if you go back and listen to some of these clips that are running around the internet, some people did say things that make you believe that things really were a little bit too wild, even for some crazy celebrities.
They were just like, yeah, I left the party early.I couldn't be into all that kind of stuff.But some of the accusations that are coming out now, if true, if true, are absolutely fucking Sick.Sick.It's just like, that's all, that's all there is to it.
Sick.And, um, wow.What happened to the nineties when who hot, who not met something else altogether different?You know, I love, I love doing that.Who hot, who not. I'm not Kill Tony, I'm not looking to get canceled.
By the way, speaking of Kill Tony, tomorrow we will have on our good friend Doug Bass from I'm a Basshole, from Basshole the podcast and the live show, and he'll talk a little bit more about the, we'll talk with him.
He's kind of a comedy insider.
He is, he works at the Improv, he's in the LA store, you know, the comedy store.He's like a comics comic, so to speak.He works there, so he knows about all these.
He hears the rumblings, and I'm interested to get his take on the MSG killed Tony appearance.Everybody has heard about, and wow.I'm not gonna get into the politics of it, but I just gotta say, that is an interesting gig to accept.
Do you know what I'm saying?Like, opening for Trump.I don't know, you have to, You have to be 100% in on that on your career if you really say, okay, I'm going to go open up for Trump or Harris or anybody.
I mean, you really have to, yeah, you fire the agent.Fire the agent.
Speaking of Hollywood, I just finished, as I was getting my parathyroid surgery, I watched the last episode, the night of the parathyroid surgery, after I got the surgery, I watched the last episode of Shogun.
Oh. You want more, don't you?
I do want more because I feel like I didn't really get the satisfactory conclusion that I was looking for.I was hoping this would all culminate and we would see some kind of battle, action.
I don't want to give it all away in case you haven't watched Shogun, but what a beautifully crafted show.And you're right.I watched the first episode and I thought to myself, a little slow, period, peace.I don't know if I'm into it.
By halfway through the second episode, I was fully invested.And I loved it.And I loved how beautifully and how carefully They showed the Japanese culture, the... It's just such a nuanced television show, I guess is the best way to put it.
And it takes the time to be nuanced.And you get to know the characters, and you really get inside of their heads and their lives.And I loved every minute of it, but the last episode was just like, it felt like a little bit of a letdown to me.
And I get it.I get the conclusion.I understood what happened.Not that I don't get it.I get it. but maybe I'm just not smart enough to understand.I don't know, but I just wanted something a little bit more, I guess.
I wish the last shot, I wish the last 30 minutes of the show were just something a little bit different.Yeah.
Well, there's going to be a season two, I'm sure, so.
No, there's not, actually.Oh, that was it?That's it.That was it.See you later.Shogun, one limited series.One and done.And that's it. Yeah, and you know, I think it took like 10 years to make that Shogun is what I read.
It took 10 years to write, produce, direct, get it done.They spent a ton of money on it because it's so beautifully crafted.I know there's a lot of CGI in it, but you wouldn't know.I think, you know, you really have to pay attention.
It was just so well done that I read that, first of all, there's no season two coming.There's not a season two available.But second of all, it took so long to bring it to screen.
I think I do remember reading about that.
Yeah.And that is disappointing because I would love to see season two.
Because it changed hands or something, right?
Yeah, one person started it and FX and then Disney bought it and all this other stuff.So I'm talking to my father about this.I'm like, Dad, you got to watch Shogun because my dad used to work a lot in Japan and he would travel a lot to Japan.
He became fascinated by the culture.Then I became fascinated by the culture through him. And so I said, hey, you gotta watch the Shogun.And he said, I read the book many years ago.And I said, oh, there's a book.
And he goes, oh, yeah, it's like a big book.And it was a huge thing back in the day, Shogun.And so, you know, I won't read the book because I don't, you know. Well, you read the subtitles.I did.Oh, man.That's the other point that I wanted to make.
I got so invested in every subtitle.You know how many times I press rewind on that son of a bitch?
I'd be like taking a shower and watching it, and I'd be washing my hair, and I got to rewind 30 seconds to go get the... Because I didn't want to miss anything.And, you know, and I don't know.I wish there was more to Shogun.
There might be something.It was such a big hit.I mean, it won a lot of awards, and people loved it.
I think it won all the awards, didn't it?
I watched it, I want to say back over the summer.
Okay.And were you in love with it?
Did Jeff watch it?Jeff and I watched it together.Well, because I waited to watch it because it was coming out on Hulu.
And I kept hearing about it, hearing about it, hearing about it.But Jeff was traveling and I didn't want to watch it without him.I thought it was something we'd both like.So I waited.
And then we waited to the point of building it up until it was almost over.So then we could really binge it out, watch it, and we loved it.
And it takes so much time because you got to read, you know, but it's 2024 and I would venture to guess, and I don't know when this happened.It feel like maybe like five years ago, seven years ago.
All of the sudden, everybody watches television with the captions on.We all do it.
And there was this reel that I saw the other day, which was, this is what I hear when the closed captions are off, or when I turn my head away from the closed captions.And it was just like this muffled sound, like two people talking muffled.
Without the closed captions on, all of a sudden, it's weird to watch a television show without the closed
Back and forth sometimes it's it's too distracting because I'm like, wait a minute I can actually hear these people fine but a lot of shows now have accents or in another language or You know, you just want to be sure you catch everything.
They're saying there's a mumbling going.
Yeah.Well, here's what I'm yes Here's what I wanted to point out I don't know who the fucking sound editors are on some of these television shows, but man, it feels to me that they are getting it wrong.
Now, don't call into me and say that I have the settings on my fucking sound bar incorrectly, because I work with sound for a living.If you don't think I know how to work sound, you're correct.I don't.
But I've checked all the sound settings and I know that it's right.I will tell you that Astrid and I are watching the new season of Love is Blind.
We're back. We're back.Hair back.And I'm not sure.This might be the last one.I'm not sure.
I've thought about it, but I haven't done it yet.
I am not as fascinated by This Love is Blind as I have been by past seasons.But anyway, besides that, it feels to me like the sound is all over the place.At times you can hear exactly what they're saying.At times they are whispering or it's muddled.
Does anybody have a volume?Is anybody editing this with a volume button?
It's true.Yeah, Jeff and I have to do the volume up or down according to different parts of the show.
comes on that show, I have to turn it way down.Yes, what the fuck, guys?First of all.Second of all, let's talk about lighting, okay?Now, I realize that this was a big deal, the Game of Thrones, the pent ultimate
episode of Game of Thrones, the second to last episode.Everyone complained about how dark that episode was, how dark it was.
You couldn't actually see what was going on because it was filmed with such dim lighting that no one could really understand what was going on.It was a big deal.I remember reading about it all over the place.
I feel the same way about a lot of television shows now with the sound and with the lighting.
You have to make it bright enough so that people can see what the fuck is going on and you have to make it loud enough so that we can understand what people are saying.
Please, I am begging all sound editors to ride that volume, ride that volume, ride that amplification, because I can't understand a fucking word that's being said half the episode, and then the other half of the episode, you're waking the entire house up with your fucking bebop music, or someone screaming when they don't need to be screaming.
It's ridiculous.It really is.I know that I'm not the only one that's complaining about this.I can't be the only one. I asked Astrid, I said, this is just my ears.Am I getting old?Is it too many, too many years wearing inner ears or what's going on?
And she said, no, you're absolutely right.That fucking music comes in and it's like, it's like, I'm watching interstellar in IMAX.It's unbelievable.It's crazy. It's so fucking loud.
And Shogun had a little bit of that, too.Like, there would be some very loud parts.I know our daughter was home for the summer and was upstairs above us listening to it, and she was like, whoa, what are you guys watching down there?I know.
We're like, it's not that loud.
Here's what I think.This is my guess.Is that most watching now is done on small screens.Not most, but a lot.That's true.Like on your phone or iPad.So the editors have a choice to make.
Do we make it sound good on the phone or the screen or the iPad or the computer?Or do we make it sound good on a regular television?And there's some kind of editing magic that is unable to be done to make those two things work together.
Because when I watch Shogun on my phone or with my ear pods in, no problems whatsoever.When I put it on the TV, all of a sudden I'm riding that volume again.I literally have to have the remote control in my hands for Love is Blind.It's insane.
It's insane.It's so much work.Not only do I have to read the subtitles and pay attention to what's actually going on on the screen, but then I have to turn up and down the volume based on whether or not there's music in the background.It's crazy.
It's crazy.Crazy. Now, let's talk about Love is Blind for one second.You haven't watched it, have you?
I have not watched this season.I've watched, in fact, I think I really only watched one season, maybe two.How many have there been a lot?
Oh, I think this is like season number seven or something.Yeah, this is season number seven, I believe.So season number seven and they're back.
I don't think it's quite the cultural zeitgeist it once was because I'm not reading a lot about it out there.So I don't think that everyone is like super excited about this particular season.And I agree with that sentiment.
It's not as exciting as some in the past.And now, like I was sharing with Astrid, Yes, it's an interesting experiment to bring people together and see if they fall in love without knowing what each other looks like, just based on conversation alone.
Well, and also, isn't it based with the psychiatrists that are there, too, to try and help actually match people?
Is that the one?No.Love at first sight.Married at first sight.Married at first sight, okay.
I'm getting a little confused.
Which is a whole different shit show that I can talk about. Merit of First Sight is on Lifetime, Love is Blind is on Netflix.That's the one Nick Lachey and... Love is Blind.Okay, right.Love is Blind.They put each other in pods.In the pods.Yes.
Oh, God.Okay.Yeah.All right.Season number seven. At season number seven, it is almost exclusively understood that anyone who has decided to go on Love is Blind also wants to be famous.That's why I haven't watched it.Yes.
There is no way under the sun you don't understand, walking in the door, that it's likely if you get chosen or if you find your match and if you get to take the full ride, meaning you fall in love with somebody, quote unquote,
you get engaged, you go on the honeymoon, the cameras follow you around for four weeks afterwards, that you are going to be some level of more famous than you are walking in the door.
There are ulterior motives from the beginning, and there's no one that's going to convince me otherwise.Because if you are just looking for love, and you have no ulterior motives, going on a television show is not the right way to approach it, right?
So everyone has ulterior motives.Everyone wants to be an influencer, a famous, they want their day in the sunlight.
Or to even parlay to other shows, because that's what's happened with quite a few of them, right?
I think Astrid pointed out that almost every Love is Blind star, someone who has taken the full ride, so far has hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Instagram followers.
A lot of them make money off of their Instagram, or they have podcasts, or they're influencers of some nature. Their lives change, and they fundamentally change, and I don't know about forever, but at least for the moment, right?And you're right.
Maybe they parlayed that into some other kind of fame. So when you watch this television show, it's really hard for me to take any kind of altruistic view on anything that's going on.And it starts to affect the way that people talk about it.
At season number seven, every person who walks into the pods has seen the other six seasons.They know what happens.They know what goes down.So let me share with you an example of this.Two people in the pods.
and they're talking and the guy says, listen, at some point, if we get engaged and we go on a honeymoon and the cameras follow us around, there are going to be people that come out of the woodwork and want to talk shit.
That's just what's going to happen.The guy was prepping the girl for ex-girlfriends to come out of the woodwork and talk shit about it.
He had to preface his love life with, by the way, I have a bunch of people that don't like me and they're going to start talking about it, should it come out.In the real world, you would never, he would never have said that to anybody.Never.
You don't walk into the first date and say, by the way, a bunch of people dislike me and they're going to start talking about me.When it, it's the.That's true.
The experiment, as Nick Lachey so egregiously calls, incorrectly calls it, is not an experiment at all.If it's an experiment in anything, it's an experiment on how two about-to-be-famous people navigate a fictitious relationship.That's it.
I think that everybody knows the game.And so Love is Blind to me is now just really just an entertainment show where people who are about to be famous try and navigate the first four weeks of fame.That's all they're doing.
They're just trying to navigate the first four weeks of fame.It's so disingenuous.
Yeah, because there's a couple ones from the first season, right, the very first season.They're still married, right?
Yes, there are some that are still married.I think last season, if I'm not mistaken, last season, they only had two couples that ended up going on a honeymoon.Only two couples.
And then the real action happened at that reunion show where a bunch, you know, where one of the idiots that had said something or done something, he was on the show, but he had a girlfriend at the time.
You know, that just goes to show that, you know, it's just, I don't know.This season is not as interesting as other seasons are, but I would like to ask you a couple of questions that have come up during the relationships for these people.
I think they present interesting I don't know about conundrums, but they present interesting challenges to the relationship, and I'd like to know your opinion.Ask TCB ourselves.Ask TCB, love is blind, we're asking ourselves.
We're asking ourselves, what would we do in these situations?So let's take a break, and we'll come back with love is blind, ask TCB ourselves questions.Sounds good.Brian, minus a pair of thyroid, tries to get through the last segment of this episode.

All right, let's throw a couple curveballs at you, see what you would do. Okay, so, perfectly lovely couple.And by the way, these are spoiler alerts, so if you're intending to watch Love is Blind, then turn off this segment of the episode.
But listen to our sponsors at the end of the show, if you would.I'd really appreciate that.A couple, perfectly lovely.
Actually, one of the couples where I might actually believe there's genuine interest there, halfway through one of the episodes we were watching last night, all of a sudden, they're in some kind of drama.
Like, the camera's just cut to them, and there's some kind of dramatic conversation.
No, this is outside the pods, yeah. We're already on episode like number 10.So they're already living with each other and the parents and all that stuff
And the woman in the relationship is very upset at the man because he hasn't been truthful with her about something.And a couple minutes into the conversation, what you learn is that he has children.Not one, not two, three children.
He has three children.They've been together for two or three weeks.He hasn't said a word to her.
They're engaged.But now, here's the twist.Here's the curveball. The children are surrogate children.They are not children he cares for.A gay couple that he knew, he donated sperm so they could have children.So now they are his children technically.
Physically, they're his children. As far as DNA is concerned, but he has no interaction with them.He doesn't care for them.He's not involved in their lives.
Not that he doesn't care for them.
Not that he doesn't care for them.Yeah, he doesn't care for them, meaning... I don't care for those kids.I don't care for Blue, but I care for Blue.I feed her every morning.You know what I'm saying?Right.
Is he involved in their life at all?
According to him, no.So far and up until we've gotten, he says no.And he doesn't even think they know that any of the children know that he's the father, doesn't even know what he looks like, quote unquote, according to him.
So it sounds like this relationship, these friends that he has, are now at a distance, and he doesn't know them.But we haven't gotten into every nitty gritty detail.
So he didn't know the friends.They were friends.
And he donated his sperm.
He donated his sperm so they could have children.
And then walked away.But did he walk away from being friends?
I guess so, because he says that the children don't even know what he looks like.
I don't know all the details, but let's just say you're in a relationship with someone, you're engaged, and then they pop it on you that they have three surrogate children.
They have three children that are not involved in their lives, but they are, you know, DNA-wise, your children.She is blowing a gasket over this.Not blowing a gasket.She is very upset by this.Let's put it this way.
I actually think she handled it okay. But to me, I was kind of like, Oh, okay.All right.Well, you know, you guys haven't known each other that long, even though you're fucking engaged.
You've only known each other for two and a half weeks, three weeks.He's bringing this information to you.You know, yeah, he did.He did a good deed for one of his friends who wanted children.What do you think?
I mean, I'm interested to hear what you think.
There's three.Not one.And they were friends.And they were friends.And, yeah, no, I would want to know that, like, kind of right up front.
You think so?Like, right in the pods?
Yeah, because then if you progress on to actually getting married, then, you know, eventually down the road, these kids might come looking. for their DNA, dad.
I have to imagine there's a good chance they will.
And you kind of want to know that in advance and be prepared for that.And that's part of the package.That would be part of his package to me.
I don't disagree with you.Part of who he is.And now that there's been something withheld, well, then what else has been withheld?You start questioning.
So it kind of unravels the trust a little bit.
And the trust is already shaking in the beginning.
Okay, so I don't disagree with you, right?
I don't think it's a bad thing what he did.I think it's a noble thing what he did.
And I think he should be proud of it and say that.
He seems to stand by his decision.He said, I'm not apologizing for what happened, but I hope you can understand. through two and a half weeks into the relationship.Now, let's put aside the fact that he's already engaged.Well, that's a big part.
That's a big part.But it's kind of a weird way to go about getting engaged.You're on a television show.If he had said this in the pods, it probably would have precluded him. from any further advancement, I would imagine, with most women.Do you think?
I don't know.See, I don't know.Because, I mean, it's, you know, I think if you even just know that the person has children, that wouldn't preclude me, obviously.I'm a stepmother, and I knew that right off the bat.
Jeff had two children, two young children, and it was part of him, part of the package.
I think that they, here's my, and I haven't seen the conclusion to this, but my opinion is she gets over it.Like they find a way to work on this because otherwise he seems like a relatively good dude.
He seems like a, at least what they show on camera, they seem like they're trying to communicate with each other openly and honestly. I can understand it not being something you lead with.
I think it's part of who you are, and you must tell somebody that.But time-wise, put aside the engagement and the strangeness of what's going on.Time-wise, two and a half weeks, it's really at the extraordinary beginning of a relationship.
Do you know what I'm saying?It's not that deep into a relationship, two and a half weeks.I think that's normally when you would bring something like this up.Hey, by the way, I wanted to share something with you.
I've donated my sperm, and I have 16 children. Now, here's an interesting question that Astrid brought up.How did he donate the sperm?It's probably more important than whether or not he did donate the sperm.
Oh, well, that could be true, too.Yeah.
Yeah.And he just says that they're a gay couple.He doesn't say whether they're male or female.But that's what he says.It's such a twist that I like.It's a twist I haven't seen before, right?
And I was like, oh, she was really upset by this in the moment, but then she kind of cools down, and she's trying to take it in stride. He's being as honest.
It seems like as he can he's like, hey listen, I did this and you know three kids Although, you know, yeah, you're right about that maybe a couple years later Then all of a sudden you got three kids knocking at your door saying I want to live with you daddy.
Yeah Yeah, okay another Scenario that popped up and I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this Couple gets engaged they otherwise seem like solid They seem like solid human beings.I don't know if they're a solid couple, right?
I think, again, we have to understand that this is all under the lights and camera action of Love is Blind.
But they're trying to communicate with each other and give each other space and, you know, be honest with each other and tell each other how he's feeling, even if it's uncomfortable.So, in other words, they're having uncomfortable conversations.
Yeah, well, they are.They're just getting to know each other in person.
Correct.In person.Yeah, you've only known each other for two weeks in person. Including uncomfortable conversations like, I don't know that my mom is coming to the wedding because I don't know that she agrees with us, right?
Just letting you know, we've been talking to each other via email.
There's been some of those.
Okay.They're about to go to a party where all of the other cast members are going to show up, right?One of those, what I call shit-starring parties. cocktails, booze, and all the old feelings from the pod.All the other people you dated in the pod.
The person that you didn't pick looks hot.
Okay.So cut to the cameras.
this couple walking into this party, they're like on the street walking into the party, but they're having a heated conversation in which he is apologizing to the woman for having liked a message from his old girlfriend on social media.
And she says, well, why did you like the message?Why did you not even respond?And he said, well, I just liked the message because I didn't know what else to do, right?I didn't want to be impolite.I just liked the message and that was it.
That's what I did.I'm sorry.I liked the message.You know, this is all new for us.I didn't know what to say to her, yada, yada, yada.And so, the woman is uncomfortable with this situation, but she agrees that I'll get over it.
I'm just learning about it.
Well, what was the message?
The message, we don't know what the message was because we don't read it.Well, that could mean something.Correct.
I still like your dick and then you like that you like that then that's that's That's different then like hey good luck on the show
Right.Hey, I heard you're on Love is Blind.I hope everything works out.Like.
Call me if things don't work out.Call me.
Okay.But now wait.There's more to it.Okay.So we're out on the street.The woman agrees.I've been cheated on before.I'm giving you all of my trust right now. I'm just learning about this.
It makes me very uncomfortable, and I'm a little bit upset, but let's go to the party.I'll get over it."Like, you know, just don't do anything like that again.Don't be a dum-dum.He says, okay, blah, blah, blah.
Let's fast forward to like five minutes later in the show, and they are sitting with another couple at this party. and they're having a conversation about this situation with the other couple.
The other couple is having the same situation?No, no, no.
They're just talking about it, right?So the couple that's going... They want to get some feedback from the other couple.Yeah, I think they're just trying to air dirty laundry.Start the shit.Yeah, start the shit.Exactly.
So the guy says, yeah, you know, an ex-girlfriend of mine contacted me on social media and I liked the message.And then I responded with, and the woman goes, you responded with what?You didn't say you responded with anything.And he goes, no, no, no.
I, I, I didn't, we didn't really get into the details, but I did respond.And she's like, that's not what you said just, you know, an hour ago.And he goes, oh no, no, no.I did respond.I said, you know, Hey, good to talk to you.You know, I'm on a show.
I fell in love.I'll talk to you later.And she's like, where's the phone? the phone and he goes, Oh, it's over in the corner.I'll have to get it for you later.Right?He's obviously dancing around this situation and the girl.
the woman, she gets very upset by this.She kind of like falls apart.She's like, this is crazy.You told me one thing an hour ago.Now you're telling me something else.Totally.That's not what you said when we were outside.
What you said was I'd liked the message.You didn't say you responded in any way, shape or form.These are two totally different things.And the guy is tap dancing.He's like, you know, Oh, I didn't, we didn't get into the details.
I was going to share that with you later.I didn't know that that was a big deal.It felt like the same thing to respond to like your opinion. is responding to a message and liking a message the same thing?What say you, Chrissy Hilton?
Well, I think the like is a response, so there was the first response.Now you're telling me there's a second response that involves words, not a thumbs up emoji.
Yes.I agree with this 100%.
And you're not revealing it all at once.It's now coming out in different pieces.And again, what is the message?What was the message?Because the message makes a difference.
I agree with you.What is the message?Yeah.Can I come over and suck your cock?Yes.It's different than, hey, hope things are well.Right.Right?Correct.Very different.Okay.
Now, he says that he responded with, hey, good to talk to you, good to hear from you.I want you to know I went on Love is Blind, I fell in love, and now I'm engaged.
Now, he never actually pulls out his phone to show that response, and she doesn't really press him on it, at least not in this episode.But I 1,000% agree with the woman in this situation.
There is a difference between thumbs-upping something and then having a whole conversation with somebody, or at least responding to someone with words.
Yeah, even if it is him saying, hey, I'm on this show, and I fell in love with that, feels like you want some level of engagement.It seems like it's still kind of fresh, maybe, that you care what she thinks.
Absolutely.You are playing for a backup plan, in my opinion, when you respond with words.You could have just said nothing.Just say nothing.Everyone's going to find out you're on Love is Blind.It's going to happen, right?
Everyone's going to know eventually that you're on Love is Blind.
Right, and then the girl could say, well, that's why he didn't respond to me.Good for him.
You play for the backup plan when you need the backup plan. That's when you do it.
If you're going to be fully invested in this process, this experiment, quote unquote, experiment, if you're going to be fully invested in it, then you just be fully invested in it.And then don't respond.That's all you have to do.
That's where love is blind.That's where the rubber meets the road as far as I'm concerned.When you get back into real life after the honeymoon and you get your phones back. Yeah, that's the difficult part.
Because now you're being thrown into somebody else's lives with all their bullshit and all their baggage and all their ex-girlfriends and all their bills and all that other stuff.It's crazy.
That to me is the most interesting episode of it all is when they get done with the honeymoon.
But if Love is Blind doesn't get more interesting, I'm done with you.I'm not watching season number eight.You're breaking up.Well, I'll probably watch season eight.You probably will. I should change this microphone.
It's been doing that for seven years.
Longer than we've had the podcast.
For as long as we've had the podcast, my microphone's been messing up.Hey, thanks so much to everybody who wrote in with the well wishes about my surgery.I am back.We'll talk more about that tomorrow.
I still want to hear more, too, about the spay.
We didn't get into the wedding.I know.I have a whole thing to do about the wedding.But I had to ease myself back in today because I'm still feeling very weird after my parathyroid.My hormones are all over the place. And now I know what it feels like.
It's okay.I know.Thank you, Chrissy.It's okay, Brian.Thank you, Chrissy.Give me your hand.Yes.What do you do when your hormones are all over the place?
I have to stay a little bit away.
I don't have that luxury, Jeff.Where's the mydol when you need it?All right.We're just glad you're back.I'm back.I'm good.And everything's on the mend.Yeah, I got a sore throat and a spacey head.
But besides that, that's why I figured let's talk about Love is Blind. Let me talk about something easy before I have to remember what I was doing in Spain.That's hard to believe I was just in Spain.I know.And then I got surgery, and now I'm back.
It's crazy.Yeah.Man, life moves fast.
We're done with mempho.We're done.
Done with Spain.We're done with Spain and the surgery.Done with surgery.So now- We have nothing to look forward to.
Here's where we kick it into high gear for the holiday.
