Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Atlanta’s Ice Storm & Parenting Under House Arrest

[00:17–03:36]

• The hosts open with jokes about being stuck indoors during Atlanta's “Flopageddon” freeze—a much-hyped but underdelivering ice storm.
• Bryan highlights the “ice porn” aesthetic while expressing frustration at news overhyping the weather, prompting early grocery hoarding.
• Parenting challenges arise as cabin fever sets in. Bryan and Krissy commiserate over kids demanding entertainment and dragging their feet when it comes to cleaning:

2. Serious Interlude: ICE Enforcement and Political Shifts

[05:10–07:04]

• Bryan addresses listener requests to weigh in on ICE's actions in Minneapolis, decisively condemning recent events as “fascism gone crazy.”
• He draws parallels to historical abuses and stresses the importance of trained police over militarized, unaccountable agents.
  • “This is a bridge too far. This man will be remembered as the turning point... Get the criminals off the streets, but this power is unchecked and it’s dangerous.” (Bryan, 07:04)

3. Venezuelan Idioms & Social Media (with Astrid's Reluctance)

[11:14–16:31]

• The mood shifts to Bryan’s attempts to get his wife, Astrid, to participate in his Instagram, highlighting funny Venezuelan-Spanish idioms:
  • “Throwing the dog” = flirting aggressively
  • “Leave the hair” = leaving someone in the lurch
  • “There are many people, but Grandma gave birth” = compounded trouble
  • “Run over by the ice cream push cart” = too smart for your own good
• Bryan describes Astrid’s camera shyness, leading to the “picture on a stick” suggestion.
• Viral engagement on strange idioms is recounted, with Bryan joking about needing consent for every photo he posts of Astrid.

4. Binge-Watching, “Binky TV,” and Media Comfort Food

[18:27–24:36]

• The pair discuss their depleting attention spans with children at home, comparing strategies for re-watching familiar “binky TV” shows (e.g., West Wing, Seinfeld) as comfort media.
  • “There’s Baba Binky Time—a show I know so well my brain need not tune into it.” (Bryan, 23:17)
• Reality TV is critiqued as formulaic but prime background “Adderall”—sometimes you really need “A Thousand Pound Sisters.”

5. Pop Culture Reversals & Political Mea Culpas

[34:00–37:13]

• The hosts observe a shift in celebrities and podcasters distancing themselves from right-wing stances—citing Kanye West’s apology and surprising pivots from figures like Theo Von and Joe Rogan.
  • “He has like flipp[ed] the script 180 degrees... I think better late than never.” (Bryan, 37:13)
• Gwen Stefani is ribbed for her religious transformation and nostalgia is served up with stories of her ska days in No Doubt.

6. Music Memories: From “Scar Bitch” to Bush and MTV Spring Break

[38:31–48:01]

• Bryan recounts writing an in-retrospect-offensive high school ska song called “Scar Bitch.”
• A tangent on ’90s alt-rock hits, Bush, and MTV’s Club La Vela exploits:
  • “They hit the MTV clitoris right there... For a year you could not get away from that song.” (Bryan, 45:32)
• Anecdotes about fake IDs and awkward spring break encounters evoke hilarious memories of their youth.

7. The Legendary Radio Days: 96.7 “The Legend” Station

[50:34–62:07]

• Bryan relives the chaos and low stakes of his early DJ days on “a toy radio station”—Atlanta’s smallest country radio stick.
• Hilarious tales of disastrous live appearances, limp remotes at “Twitty’s Oil & Lube,” and the legendary, barely functioning station van:
  • “It was a murder bus... no windows, no seatbelts. Just a big empty van... Cam and I went down... they had no fucking clue what we were there for.” (Bryan, 56:00–56:34)
• Their radio hustling yielded little money but plenty of memories and on-air gaffes.

8. Podcast Reflections & Looking Ahead

[66:32–67:56]

• Bryan and Krissy consider the declining popularity of comedy podcasts, joke about doing “too much, too fine,” and announce a shift to three new episodes weekly plus a Friday “TCB Classic.”
• Teaser for upcoming Billy Gardell interview.
  • “The world of comedy podcasting is in a lot of tumult right now... We’re just not that good at what we do, and we do too much of it.” (Bryan, 66:36)

Transcript

[Brian Green]

In the real world. Here in the real world. Alan Jackson on 96 7. The legend. Ten in a row every single time we start the music. Just a few days ago, he started a Western Canada tour with Brooks and Dunn. Interesting.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, I was born to coal miner's daughter.

[Brian Green]

Slow burn, T.G. shepherd. He's gonna be at the Georgia Mountain Fair in Hiawassee, Georgia in October. This song goes out to my dog, who apparently is my wife's new husband. The queen of the house and the terrorist all at the same time. Why me? Why me, Lord, what have I? On this episode of the commercial break, you're at Twitties on lube on Highway 777. It's Brian and Cam from late Night on the Legend. Come on up for your chance to win half off your Twitty Lube. And there was no one there. No one there. And people would pull out of the Louvre and they'd be like, what station you in? WWFG967. The legend. You ever heard of Late Night on the Legend? Those fucking liberals, Lady Nat. The two funny guys. That's right. They've just been fired. We're the new management.

[Chris Hoadley]

We're not them.

[Brian Green]

We're new management here to talk to every single of the three listeners. We're here to find the three listeners of wwg. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.

[Chris Hoadley]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Hope everyone's doing okay. Hope everyone survived flopageddon.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, we did here in Atlanta, but.

[Brian Green]

Oh yeah, but millions of people. Yeah, you're right. I. I shouldn't, I shouldn't joke because there are a lot of people without power. Full of ice, full of snow, full of cold, cold weather.

[Chris Hoadley]

Lots of damage.

[Brian Green]

Damage, yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Trees down.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Right now it's. For me, it's just ice porn. That's what I've been looking at for the last two days, ice porn. I mean, we did get a good glazing up here.

[Chris Hoadley]

We did.

[Brian Green]

We got a nice glaze. But it all went away within hours. So it was kind of like, meh. But all night long, all I could hear was that ice falling off the trees, smashing against the roof. And it really made me very nervous. So I didn't get a lot of sleep on Sunday night. On Sunday night, I did not get a lot of sleep, but I didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday. I have children, so I don't get a lot of sleep in any situation. Fucking kids.

[Chris Hoadley]

And can't go outside.

[Brian Green]

I'll tell you what. What's that?

[Chris Hoadley]

And can't go outside.

[Brian Green]

Can't go outside. They wanted to, but I said no because I let Blue out the back door on Saturday, on Sunday morning, and she was like. She was just sliding from one side of the porch to the other. And so I said, well, I'd go out there and help you, but I'm not gonna get hurt. No, you figure it out. Dog come back. So anyway, for a lot of us, it was just a wet mess. Just a cold, cold, wet mess.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, it's still going to BE in the 20s, I think, throughout this week.

[Brian Green]

At night, it is freezing cold. That is really cold. That is the line, you know, here's what I love about the weatherman who for a straight 10 days could not warn us strongly enough about how dangerous this whole situation was going to be. And we needed to stock up on this and make sure you have that. And the power is likely going to go out and you're going to be stuck for days and days without any. They painted a scene straight out of a horror movie. And now they're back at it again for this weekend. They're back at it. Yeah. I watched one of the weathermen put together a whole. Well, now that it's over, let's recap what we got right and what we got wrong. And he couldn't find a. He couldn't find anything that they got right. No, they found every. He got everything right. They got everything right. You know, we were right on about the timing. No, you weren't. It happened. It happened like you said it was going to come on Friday. It happened on Sunday.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, I know. We were, like, out stocking up Tuesday.

[Brian Green]

I was at. We were out Monday ordering groceries. I was like, babe, we better get this now, because people are going to go crazy by Wednesday. Since Friday, it's going to be a mess. And then I noticed a weird thing happened. I was looking out my window on Friday evening, there wasn't a fucking car driving by my house, really, for like an hour. It must have. It was really strange. Yeah, it was eerie. It was strange.

[Chris Hoadley]

Were you just sitting there looking for the entire hour?

[Brian Green]

I was. I told my kids I had to go do some work and I just sat.

[Chris Hoadley]

Meditated?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, meditated. Yeah. I was watching all the drama on the tv. What a Fucking mess. What a fucking mess. So I've had some people on Instagram who have written and said, why don't you address this situation with ice, immigration enforcement in the United States? Because on my personal page, I have a lot of people that are Venezuelan and some that are here, some that are there, some that are spread all out across the world. And I'll address it really simply and really quickly. And then we'll move on with happier topics because we'd like to give you a break. Hence the name, the commercial break, but I'll address it quickly. There is no rational human being, apparently now, including Donald Trump, who think that anything that's going on in Minneapolis is good for the United States of America. It is fascism gone crazy. It is very reminiscent of the videos and photos we used to see as children about World War II and the not and the fascist Nazis. And this gentleman Pretty, who was murdered, was murdered. He was murdered. There is no other way to put it, by a bunch of reckless, untrained, bootlicking stormtroopers. That's all it is. With their faces covered. And they ran away from the scene, as they did in the last incident. They ran away from the scene. At least in this incident, somebody tried to do something, where I saw some officers above him trying to do something, but they disarmed him. Then they shot him. And that is crazy. That is just insane. And you can't make justifications for it. There are no justifications. Whether you like guns or don't like guns, it's in our Constitution. You're allowed to carry them. And he was legally carrying a gun, but he was never brandishing it. Never, not once in that.

[Chris Hoadley]

Any of the videos that I phone in his hand.

[Brian Green]

Yes, this is a fucking hot mess. And it needs to get solved quickly or there will be a dark nightmare, a dark cloud that falls across the United States. It's already halfway over the United States, and it's certainly in Minneapolis. Minneapolis. And the President needs to stand down. And the Republicans, some of them, I give them credit, are finally saying something too little too late, in my opinion. But here we are, and this is a bridge too far. This man will be remembered as the turning point, I think, in a very dark chapter in American history. Get the criminals, the violent criminals off our streets. No one's going to disagree with that. But this power is unchecked and it's dangerous. And fuck it, and fuck the people who agree with this. That's it. That's all I got to say. There's no other way to put It. It is a dark nightmare that needs to end. Everyone needs to stand down, stand down. Take ICE out of Minneapolis, out of Maine, out of Chicago, out of Los Angeles, and put trained police officers in the streets where they belong. You know, I've never had so much appreciation for a trained police officer as I do now. That's true, because I was watching, like, on YouTube. It's serving me. It serves me up all these videos, you know, based on my history or whatever. And I got like 12 different Gmail accounts for you do I do. I had so many Gmail accounts, but I was logged into one. And a number of years ago, I got into, like, watching videos about people getting arrested for this or that, you know, whatever. And it. When I was watching. So it was popping these videos back up over the weekend. And it made me appreciate a trained police officer who is trained to de escalate and look for situations. And I even watched a couple of videos where the perpetrator had a gun on him, and never once did the officer take out his gun. He disarmed the perpetrator professionally. That's what he did. Because that's what they're trained to do. So these guys are just, you know, untrained, jackbooted thugs. And that's.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, the masks, I mean, I just. It's scary.

[Brian Green]

It's really scary. It's meant to be scary. It's meant to instill fear in the normal citizen so that they don't speak out, so they don't protest, so they don't help. Like Preeti was doing. That's what he was doing. He was helping a woman. He was picking her up off the ground after the ICE officer pushed her down on the ground. And he lost his life. And he was a fucking nurse and a veteran's home. God damn, dude. Really, honestly, I mean, we're losing good people now because of this. You know, not only are there, like, we're filling the streets with the bad people, the. The criminals are the ones with the masks on and ICE enforcement badges. Those are the bad people. Make no mistake about it. They mean harm. That's what they want to do. That is their mission. And it needs to stop, and I hope it does. And I. No matter what side of the aisle that you're on, you can agree with this one.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

I don't. I don't know. You know, I go on that fucking X every once in a while. Yeah, I think it's mostly bots created by Elon. I really do. I'm convinced of that to charge people up and to. To talk about it. But I will say this. There are a lot of people who are excuse making saying you don't bring a gun to a protest. You don't bring a gun to a protest. You mean like January 6th, like, all those people went to a protest legally carrying their firearms. Is that. I mean, it's just.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

It's unbelievable how some people will twist and turn just to suck the dick of.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Their dear leader. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Anyway, okay, all right, enough. Brian said it. Okay. There, I addressed it. But I'm not going to do it on my Instagram page because I talk about Venezuela.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

That's right.

[Chris Hoadley]

You're Venezuelan.

[Brian Green]

That's my. I'm Venezuelan. It's crazy. It's crazy how people just go crazy about the content that I create. And it's so dumb. It's just so dumb. But people love it. And I'm. I get excited. I'm like, oh, okay. So I said to Astrid, hey, Astrid, she won't be on camera, though. Like, people are asking, they're like, where's your wife? Like, get her on camera. She won't go on camera. So I said, you should have like.

[Chris Hoadley]

A picture of her, like on a stick, you know?

[Brian Green]

Oh, that's not a bad idea. That is not a bad idea. I will even have to get permission from her to do that too.

[Chris Hoadley]

Of course. Of course. But that could be a little bridge.

[Brian Green]

It could be a little bridge. We could do that. I put a picture up of her once, but it was the only authorized picture I have of Astrid. I only have one. Every person that married to a woman who is a reluctant photo taker will know that you have to get direct express permission to put photographs of your loved one online.

[Chris Hoadley]

Absolutely.

[Brian Green]

But to be fair and unfair, I also hate every photograph that I take.

[Chris Hoadley]

Meanwhile, I see a ton of them you guys take.

[Brian Green]

We take all kind of photos, but we don't put them up online. I mean, Aster does, but her account's private. She's got a couple hundred people that follow her. Excuse me. We take a ton of photographs. I don't like any of them, but Astrid will post them regardless of whether or not I like them. But when it's Astrid's turn, I am not allowed at all to pose photographs unless I get her express written. I have to get a release form for my own wife. So I have one picture that I know from like six years ago that I know is approved. And so I put it up. People Went crazy. So anyway, so I don't have any. So she won't come on camera, even though people. People are asking. And I said, okay, I've got an idea for a real. I want. You have these, like, crazy sayings in Venezuelan. In Spanish in Venezuela, like throwing the dog, or it was crowded, then grandma gave birth. Like, there are in. In English. Okay, I'll explain. All right, you can go watch the real. But you. I'll explain. Throwing the dog means that you are hunting someone. You are, like, flirting with them. You're. You're. You're after them, Right. And you're flirting with them hard. And you're trying.

[Chris Hoadley]

Hunting the dog. Throwing the dog.

[Brian Green]

Throwing the dog. Which makes no sense whatsoever, but that's what it means. Okay, so I have this idea. I said, give me some things that you say in Spanish that I can repeat to the audience in English, and then we'll have a little fun with it. And then I, you know, I throw in a punchline or whatever.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And so we sat here for, like, 10 or 15 minutes. And she said it, but I had to. Microphone. Put a microphone on her. But she sat in your chair, and she refused to be filmed. So I had to keep the camera right here while she was talking and I was responding to some strange human being. So throwing the dog means to hunt someone, to. To be after them. Okay, there was another one. Leave.

[Chris Hoadley]

Chasing them in a romantic way.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Sexual way.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like actual.

[Brian Green]

No, you're not hunting dog styles, right? Hunger Games. You're not hunting doggy style. You're hunting the dog. Got it right. Okay. The next one was leaving the hair. Leave the hair, which means to. Like, when someone leaves you high and dry, they leave the hair, right? Oh, they left the hair. It's like. It's such a weird fucking thing to say.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like, in the lurch.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. They left you in a lurch. They left you high and dry. They took off without, you know, helping. Whatever. You know, I guess it can be used in multiple different situations. But the other one. Yeah. Okay, ready? This is the one. This is the one. And this has got people just going online right now because, you know, I hit a nerve. Like, in a good nerve, but a nerve now. People are giving me all kinds of phrases that they use.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

That are just strange. A lot of stuff about the kulo, which is your butthole. A lot of kulos. A lot of sayings with kulos. Yeah. But the one that got everybody going, and I think even in English is very strange, is there. Are there Are many people, but Grandma gave birth. Is the. Is how you would translate it in English? Generally, there are many people, but Grandma gave birth. It means we were in trouble before, but now we're. It's a real problem.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, no. Okay. Well, yeah, Grandma's given birth.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. That's what I said. In the real. I go, poor Grandma. Yeah. If Grandma gives birth, we are definitely in trouble. Why does Grandma. What? Why do you bring Grandma into it? Why Grandma? You say, it was a lot of people and someone gave birth, but no, they have to say, grandma gave birth, which is a hell of a thing. And then there was to get run over by the ice cream push cart. Not the ice cream truck, but the push cart. You know? Yeah. You know, one of those like.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like a streetcar.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. What is that King of Pops shit that they have all over the place? King of Pops. And that means that you're too smart for your own good. You got run over by the pushcart.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh.

[Brian Green]

Which makes no sense to me either.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

You got run over by a very slow push cart full of delicious ice cream. Makes no sense, but whatever's clever, I guess. Yeah. So anyway, so I had to bring Esther in here and convince her that her voice should be online, and she reluctantly did it. And it just.

[Chris Hoadley]

Baby steps.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. People just go crazy over it. It's like, wow, it's not that easy to make people go crazy here at the commercial break. I wish.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

I mean, some people go crazy. They go crazy on the. On the phone line. I didn't even check the phone over the weekend. I was like, I don't. I just want to leave it. I thought about going live on Sunday night. Like, just turn it on. Go live. Talk to some people. But then I was afraid nobody was going to show up and I'd be talking to myself. And I don't like to do that. I don't like to be here without you. It's like talking to myself. And I thought sometimes I think sometimes about going live on Instagram, too. But then it's like, do I really want to talk to myself about myself? You know what I'm saying to myself about myself. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like, hey, Brian, how are you? Good.

[Brian Green]

Hey, Brian, how are you? Great job on your Instagram lately. Let's review the videos on your Instagram together. You and me. And me and you.

[Chris Hoadley]

Do a comment on your own.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, comment on my own videos. That's right. And then I'm like, well, I could go live, but my Spanish. I have to have time to translate The Spanish, meaning it's got to go slow. So if I really get like, you know, 50, 60 people on there and a couple of them are speaking really rapid Spanish, I will not be able to keep up and I'm just going to sound dumb. That essentially. The wizard. The curtain's going to come down from the wizard. Right.

[Chris Hoadley]

You can't do that.

[Brian Green]

Oh, so talking all about Venezuela, but you can't keep up in Spanish. Got it. When it's comments, I have time. I can read it. If there's a word I don't know, I ask Astrid or I put it in translate and I go, oh, okay. Now.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Don't drop the curtain.

[Brian Green]

I'm not going to drop the curtain. No. No one wants to see how the sausage is made. Really? No one wants to see how the sausage is made. Especially not. And then I managed to get through. I haven't start. Have you started the pit. The pit yet?

[Chris Hoadley]

No, we almost did last night, but I think I might wait until tonight. Okay. Because it comes out on Thursdays. Right?

[Brian Green]

It comes out on Thursdays.

[Chris Hoadley]

I was even thinking about waiting till Thursday.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I'm gonna wait till Thursday, but.

[Chris Hoadley]

So we haven't started any of it yet.

[Brian Green]

Okay, good. I didn't know if we needed to talk about it. What I did start and what I've been watching in pieces is the movie Sinners because.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, it's so good.

[Brian Green]

Oh. You know, on our ice storm break, Sinners was nominated for more Academy Award nominations than any movie in history. I think that. Right. Yeah, I think so. I think that's what it said on. On TMZ or something like that. And like 18 of them, and that's a lot. Now I'm about halfway through the movie. Little more than halfway through the movie. I know the writer and director is known for his horror movies mainly. And I can see where this is going. I can see where it was going. But I will have to say that Michael B. Jordan, who's in the movie, is already excellent playing both sides of the twin. The twin brothers. Brothers. Yeah, I guess the, you know, antagonists or protagonists in the movie already doing a great job. And the movie is something, you know, I'm not a big period movie kind of guy. Like period time, you know, the. The go back in time and watch a movie about, you know, early 1930s Mississippi. Like, that's not necessarily my thing. I would rather watch something that's a little bit more modern or. You gotta put me in the right mind frame. And he has put me.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

In the Right. Mind frame.

[Chris Hoadley]

The music's great in it.

[Brian Green]

It's Delta blues. Mississippi, or they don't they. I think they kind of. They allude to there in Mississippi. Right. And. But they're definitely in the Delta.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

This sharecropper time. And the. The music is so fucking excellent. And the way that he twists in popular music, pop music, and music from, like, you know, caveman days all the way through now, even though you're stuck in this one time period in the movie, like, Jimi Hendrix shows up, essentially. Right? Run DMC shows up, essentially. Not them, actually, but, like, a representation of them shows up. And the way that he weaves this in is brilliant filmmaking. Brilliant filmmaking.

[Chris Hoadley]

Jeff's friend is the one who did the. All the music.

[Brian Green]

What?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Boo Mitchell.

[Brian Green]

Boo Mitchell. Well, good job, Boo.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, he's from Memphis.

[Brian Green]

Boo on you, Boo.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, good job, Boo.

[Brian Green]

Okay. And so Boo put the music together. He did the score. He did. Or he picked the songs?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. I mean, I. I'd have to go back.

[Brian Green]

He's like the music director.

[Chris Hoadley]

He was in charge of the music.

[Brian Green]

Okay. So he's the music director. So he, like, pulls together all the pieces and weaves it into the story. Wow. Good for him.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Really brilliantly done. Have you seen Sinners?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You have?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. I want to watch it again.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Don't tell me what happens. There are parts are a little slow for my taste, but I keeps you bouncing along. It drives me fucking crazy that I have to watch a goddamn movie in seven parts. I know.

[Chris Hoadley]

I was gonna say, why are you watching in pieces, but I know.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you know the answer. It's the fucking kids. You know, I don't have any time except for the last hour of the day before I go to sleep. And by the time I lay in bed, I am so exhausted. I know I'm not gonna make it through. So I watch until my attention span starts to fade and I press pause and I say, okay, watch the West Wing and then go to sleep.

[Chris Hoadley]

Exactly.

[Brian Green]

I mean, I've been on the same episode of the West Wing for three weeks.

[Chris Hoadley]

Seinfeld.

[Brian Green]

Same episode. I just keep restarting it. I'm like, I'll get through it tonight. And I never get through.

[Chris Hoadley]

Those are 30 minutes. So for us. So it's usually that we, like, get through half of it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

You know, almost all of it. And then pick back up again.

[Brian Green]

That's it. That's the game. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people play it. That's the game that a lot of people play is that, you know, you have your stuff that you want to watch, stuff that you're interested, you pay attention to. And then you have your night Night juice, right? Your baba, your binky.

[Chris Hoadley]

Your baba, your binky.

[Brian Green]

Your binky tv.

[Chris Hoadley]

You do have the binky tv.

[Brian Green]

You've got your binky tv.

[Chris Hoadley]

I've got TV for all kinds of different situations too. I was thinking about it the other day. Cause I wanted to go up and do some work, like in my little office area upstairs. And I wanted to have something in the background, but I didn't want to have to pay attention to it. Made me think of you with the 5,000 pound twins or whatever.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, A Thousand Pound Sisters.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, my little Johnson's. Whatever. You get the teal.

[Brian Green]

Seven Little Johnsons.

[Chris Hoadley]

My stuff is usually like the peacock stuff, like the Bravo stuff.

[Brian Green]

So now that's binky TV too. That's Ba Ba. Binky tv. That's what that is.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's on my Sleepy Time tv.

[Brian Green]

Sleepy Time TV is different.

[Chris Hoadley]

It is, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Like Thousand Pound Sisters. Not for Sleepy Time. No, that's for. I'm working, right?

[Chris Hoadley]

Something on the background.

[Brian Green]

Tune in every like 10 minutes and go. Oh, there's the plot point. Yeah. Okay. Move on to the next right. Oh, she lost another 10 pounds. Oh, she gained another 10. You know, that kind of stuff. And then it's very formulaic tv. So, you know, like seven Little Johnsons. I've said this before. It's the same fucking thing every episode. Some family drama, some game they're gonna play that's clearly set up just for the cameras. Some niceties, you know, someone got married, someone got an A. Someone, you know, has a girlfriend, whatever. And then end with some cliffhanging drama that you're gonna find out the next week, right? That's how it goes. That's formulaic reality tv. And so that is my. I don't know what to call. It's like my Adderall, right? I keep it on and I can. My gears can switch back and forth. But then there's Baba Binky Time. And Baba Binky Time is a show I know so well that my brain needs not tune into it. I can recite some episodes of the West Wing. I can recite some episodes of Kath and Kim. I can recite some episodes of Mr. D. I can recite episodes of certain shows that I've just watched so much, and I enjoy it so much that it puts me in a place where I'm not. My mind isn't racing about the 7 million things that are wrong with my life.

[Chris Hoadley]

I agree.

[Brian Green]

Happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday, everybody. Happy Tuesday, everybody. I'm just bummed out that we didn't have an actual ice storm. Nothing happened. I was actually. I wasn't bummed that we didn't lose power and, you know, trees crashing through people's houses and all that stuff that.

[Chris Hoadley]

You wanted some snow.

[Brian Green]

I wanted just like a little additional drama making all of the effort that we went through worth it. Right. Like two days of kind of really being stuck in the house. There's ice outside. We can't go outside. You know, we step outside, we're gonna slide and kill ourselves. But that only happened for like two hours. That was it. Two hours on Sunday morning. And then the rest was just bullshit.

[Chris Hoadley]

But I think we count ourselves lucky. Like bt, our super fan. Bt.

[Brian Green]

Oh yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

He's without power still.

[Brian Green]

Oh, he is, yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, they've got a gas.

[Chris Hoadley]

Fireplace and so they're able to do that. I've decided I'm going to buy a portable generator. But in the spring like everyone else is.

[Brian Green]

If you really want a portable generator at a time when it's the cheapest bite in the summer.

[Chris Hoadley]

Summer.

[Brian Green]

Portable generators in spring.

[Chris Hoadley]

But what about summer camping? I thought people might use it for camping in the summer, but whatever, I don't know.

[Brian Green]

My father in law told me the.

[Chris Hoadley]

Summer, two days before the ice storm. That's what I'm.

[Brian Green]

No, no. And that's why you don't buy it in spring. Because there's always, there's always the threat of severe weather in Georgia in the spring. Tornadoes and thunderstorms and stuff. People's power goes out and.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay, I'm going to chat, I'm going.

[Brian Green]

To Chatty Jetty, GPT, all that. Yeah. And if you need help. Are you getting like an actual generator or a portable generator?

[Chris Hoadley]

Portable. Not when you put on the house.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Because if you're going to get one, you're going to put on the house permanent. I have friends. We can talk, you know, because that's like a thing you got to do. A thing. Yeah, I have wires and electricians.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You can't just like 10 grand.

[Brian Green]

Oh, they're terribly expensive.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

But more and more people are buying them because, you know, I think we all realize that, you know, well, with.

[Chris Hoadley]

The climate change for sure there's all this severe weather, more extreme weather.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's happening.

[Brian Green]

Here we are In Georgia, it's 19 degrees outside. It's like the high today. 19 degrees.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, not good. Anyway, let me find the commercials here. Anyway, lots more to talk about. Thanks for joining us. Give us a few minutes, we'll be back.

[Rachel]

Best to you and Astrid. Especially Astrid.

[Brian Green]

Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you, Sam.

[Chris Hoadley]

Hearing that takes me back to my old Casio keyboard.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah, the old Casio keyboard. No one, no nothing like an old Casio keyboard. Hours of fun. Yes. Let's tell my kids over the weekend because they rely on you for everything. You know, Danny ain't playing with me. Play with you. I bought you 70 million toys.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

You got seven TVs, two iPads, and a partridge and a pear tree. The do you want from me? You got a gymnastics bar and a Toy Story thing and a million puzzles and blocks and all this Legos. I don't even know. I don't even know. What's in the house is literally filled with junk that's mainly for you to play with. So why do I now have to be the. But the problem?

[Chris Hoadley]

Entertainment.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Like Astrid said, the problem is you brought this on yourself. And I said, how did I bring this on myself? And she said, because anytime they come to you, you decide. You say yes. Anytime they come to you. You know, one of the gymnastics daughter wants to do flips all, you know, around your head. You say yes, and then you complain that your back hurts. You know, your kid wants to sit with you and go through the history of Disney World. You go through the history of Disney World with them because you say yes. You know, little one wants to, you know, play school all weekend. I was the teacher, you know.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, you were.

[Brian Green]

You're the teacher, Daddy. You're the teacher. I'm the student. I'm the student. And you have a baby and you need to go pee, pee, change the diaper. Now it's time to go to lunch. I'm putting on makeup. I'm doing a whole thing. I got a whole routine that's going on in these. But to me, I'm like, okay, that's why the kids love me. Like, mom serves one role, dad serves the other one, which is mainly to fuck off, right? I mainly fuck off. Teach them lessons in life, you know, don't snort the green cocaine. Right? You know, I mean, there's, like, lessons I teach the kids.

[Chris Hoadley]

Practical.

[Brian Green]

Practical. But all of a sudden, now I gotta be like, all weekend. We have to entertain the kids from everything. And they're moving from one room to the next, just making a mess. That's it. Swirling around, little whirling dervishes.

[Chris Hoadley]

Whirling dervishes?

[Brian Green]

Yes. Bowling the china shop, as my mom would say. They bring all the toys into one room, plop them down, throw them on the floor, mess up the beds. You know, lampshades are this way. They close the blinds, turn off the lights, you know, lock the doors, hide under the bed. You know, they're doing this whole routine. And I said, so finally I got irritated. I'm like, that's it. You gotta clean up your mess.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

And my kids are at the age right now where we're learning these lessons, and they spend days like this. Clean up. I'm so tired. I don't feel good. My leg hurts. I didn't mess it up. You messed it up. Why can't you help me? Days doing this, when it takes exactly seven minutes to clean it up. You know what I'm saying? They spend the whole day on the floor pounding their fists and kicking their feet. And I don't want to do it, and I didn't mess it up and fucking clean it up in seven seconds. And then finally I go, finally. I just, like, draw the line. I'm like, no TVs, no iPads, no more fun, no more daddy playing with you until this room is cleaned up. And I'm. And I'm taking away that iPad for. I'm taking away the TV for a week. 5, 4, 3, 2. And then all of a sudden, they're running around cleaning up. Yeah, okay. So they're running around cleaning up, and it takes exactly seven minutes and it's all clean. And I'm like, we spent three days talking about cleaning up and seven minutes cleaning up. Why did we do that? But they don't get it. They're just kids.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, I know. They won't get it until they maybe are out of college.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, they're. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Honestly, you know, until no one else is there to clean it up. That's when.

[Brian Green]

That's it. I mean, yeah, I keep on telling him, your mom and me, but mainly your mom. It's not her responsibility to clean up after you four times a day. But that's what they're. They're doing. Finally, after, like, by day number two, they, like, started playing on their own. They all were playing together, like, just running around the house.

[Chris Hoadley]

There's enough of them to play together.

[Brian Green]

There is. I know. And so Astro and so Astor was like, oh, my God, they're making a mess. I said, hey, listen, they're playing on their own. Just leave them be. Let them make the mess. At least they're doing it on their own.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Let that be the lesson to all of us. If we weren't here, they'd be fine. The house would be a mess, but they'd be fine. They wouldn't eat anything of substance, but they'd be fine.

[Chris Hoadley]

Smarties.

[Brian Green]

That's right. I was interested to see that Kanye west, over the weekend, put out a very long apology letter explaining his situation, and that is that. You know, Kanye's always had a weird jaw. As a matter of fact, I think for the first, like, two years of his, like, that public life, his jaw was wired shut, wasn't it? Or something like that. I don't know. He's got a weird mouth. You can just tell it's puffy. His teeth are weird. I mean, they're straight. But his overbite is weird, and that's because he got into a terrible. Was he shot or was he. Was there an accident?

[Chris Hoadley]

No, it was an accident.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Car accident.

[Chris Hoadley]

I was reading this. Yeah. The other day.

[Brian Green]

Oh, car accident. I'm sorry. He was in a car accident. Broke his jaw and had brain damage. Brain damage. Yeah. Well, we all knew that because he's just been weird.

[Chris Hoadley]

Seemed obvious.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. He's been saying something was off out land as shit, dressing up like a Nazi, like, just doing weird shit. Like, almost publicly trying to tank his career, or as I had assumed, at times, trolling the world, like, just saying weird shit just to get a reaction because he's so followed. Everybody watches his every move. He just decided, fuck you. I'm just going to do what I want. Want to do. Well, he wrote this big, long apology letter.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. He, like, took out an ad right in the Washington Post.

[Brian Green]

Yes. And it was a very long letter and it just kind of explained that, you know, he's got real mental health issues and they're not always under control. And he's just been going through a period, I mean, a long period, like three years he's been doing this whole song and dance, just being a big troll. Now I say, why do I say this? Because I really don't give a shit about Kanye West. I've never been like the world's biggest fan of his music, though I can see that he's a talented musician. It's not my cup of tea. Kanye isn't. But I also notice that I've noticed a general softening of the tone, a general flipping of the tone on a lot of people who were rooting for the election of Donald Trump. Celebrities mainly. And now the backtracking of these people, including some of the most hardcore podcaster, right wing podcasters now kind trying to kind of like flip the script a little bit, especially after this whole Minneapolis thing happened over the weekend. Joe Rogan. Theo Vaughn had on Bernie Sanders.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, wow.

[Brian Green]

He had on Bernie Sanders. And he said, and he mentioned that he liked what Mandani is doing in New York. He liked Mokana, like the, like Rokhana, some of these, like more really progressive. And Theo Vaughn mentioned, I'm learning as I go and I'm starting to learn that I like what these people are saying. And I think they have a point. I think you have a point. Bernie Sanders. Now I'm not like, you know, that's not, that's not my opinion. That's what I'm saying. Theo Vaughn said, I will share this, that, you know, when you're in the public life and you know, you put down this stuff on celluloid and it gets like hard coded into the universe and then you have to make some big, you know, Maya Copa. That must be incredibly difficult. It must be incredibly difficult.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, I would think so. But needed.

[Brian Green]

But needed. And so I hear, like online and on news programs, all this stuff is being mentioned. How Rogan is now pushing it back against immigration enforcement, how Theo has kind of changed his tune altogether. I mean, really all together. He has like flipp the script 180 degrees. You know, Kanye's coming out and said I was an idiot. You know, this guy in Minneapolis or the guy was running for governor of Minnesota, came out yesterday with a long video saying, I, I can't in good conscience run as a Republican because when my daughters look back on this, I don't want them to think I was on the wrong side of history. And I don't want to be on the wrong side of history. You know, all these people coming out and then I hear, like, there's a lot of people pushing back on this. They're like, oh, you should have too little too late. I agree. Too little too late. But I also think, you know, well.

[Chris Hoadley]

Better late than never.

[Brian Green]

Better late than never. Yeah, better late than never. What I am waiting for, me personally is Gwen Stefani to come out and apologize. I want Gwen to come out and apologize.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, God. What did she do?

[Brian Green]

Nah, she's just an idiot. I think she's like a. Like a born again Christian now.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think she is, isn't she?

[Brian Green]

Like her and who's that guy? Blake Shelton.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Aren't they like born again Christians? Like rabble rousing Christians.

[Chris Hoadley]

I do remember reading something her and he probably is too. I guess they're married, right? They did actually get married.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, they did get married. Yeah. They slept with, they cheated on their spouses and you know, then became born again Christians. Makes sense. Follow the road. I was watching some old no Doubt videos. Like, old no Doubt videos. Like, yeah, public access TV no Doubt videos. And they were. Besides her, they were absolutely terrible. And I. They were ska. Like, you know, straight up ska and with the horn section and everything, you know, And I remember for a brief period of time that 33 penis did some ska ourselves.

[Chris Hoadley]

You did?

[Brian Green]

We did. And I would scat on top of the ska.

[Chris Hoadley]

Nice.

[Brian Green]

We had a song called Scar, bitch.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, you're being hard too.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. It would start off like, slow, like Rocky. It was like Scar. And then it would go into the scoff.

[Chris Hoadley]

I can't believe it didn't take off.

[Brian Green]

It didn't. There was this one girl in our school, in our high school, and she was straight Scott. Right? Like, and everybody was afraid of her. And let's just be honest, like, no one knew what Scott was, so we were all kind of scared of whatever it was. Excuse me. This damn cough.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know. It's just lingering.

[Brian Green]

Will not go away. And it sometimes, like, for an hour or two during the day. I feel like I have a bad cold, you know, like, like right now, like, achy miserable. So I hope I'm giving it to you good. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Thanks.

[Brian Green]

You're welcome. Stuck in this studio with all the particles flying around. I probably have measles.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, you got vaccinated.

[Brian Green]

So there. So this girl would, you know, she was walk around school with her, you know, Scar stuff. And her plaid and all this crazy crap. And so we wrote a song, not to be pejorative, Scott, like, but, you know, like, almost like a. I. I guess kind of like a bad. Like a scobbage was a bad. Right. A girl who was like, you know, a badass in our school. So we had. We wrote this song called Scar Bitch. And so then we play the song called Scar Bitch at one of our two appearances.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And someone came up afterwards and was like, you shouldn't do that song. And I'm like, why? Part of the. It's one of the four songs.

[Chris Hoadley]

We have originals.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah, originals. The rest is just cover songs, and they aren't that good. Well, it's kind of offensive to call a woman A. I remember this guy said it, I think. I think this is when we went and played the actual, like, you know, rec room, and this guy was like, oh, it's kind of offensive to call a woman A. And I was like, the. What really is it? I was learning, as, you know, I'm a young kid, 15 years old, and I was like, oh, okay. So I asked the girl that I was dating at the time, time, I said, is Scar Bitch an offensive song? And she was like, extremely offensive. And I was like, okay, I guess we'll take Scar Bitch.

[Chris Hoadley]

We'll take another rotation.

[Brian Green]

And she goes. But I think what's more offensive than the actual words of Scar Bitch is the song Scar Bitch, because it just sounds bad.

[Chris Hoadley]

The actual song.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it's some mix of ska and grunge rock that doesn't really live in a world that I understand. And.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. So I let it go. I let Scar Bitch go. But I was watching those old Gwen Stefani videos, and I was like, first of all, she was a baby when. When they started off, 16, 17 years old. Second of all, it was terrible. I mean, it sounded like music, but it was just bad music. You know, they really refined their.

[Chris Hoadley]

They were big in the 90s.

[Brian Green]

My God.

[Chris Hoadley]

Wow.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I'm just a girl. I mean, you couldn't get away from that.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

And she just was a badass. You were like, wow, that girl is badass garbage. Really? A badass girl.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And then I don't know what happened, but, I mean, you know, I guess a no Doubt couldn't go on forever.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, it was no Doubt. But then she went on her own, you know, and then they kept.

[Brian Green]

They got back together, they did a reunion.

[Chris Hoadley]

They did do the reunion tour. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And wasn't her brother in the band? Her brother was in the band. He was like the guitarist, wasn't he?

[Chris Hoadley]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

I think he was too. He was a guitarist. And then she dated the bassist, the Filipino guy that was. I think he was Filipino. The guy that. The guy that was. And the Bases, they were an item for a little bit when she was younger. And so then she broke off on her own and she had a string of other really big hits.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, it was her harajuku face. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Which then became offensive to a lot of people, I guess. I don't know. And, you know, and. And then. And then she met Blake Shelton and became a Christian. Yeah. Then she went on the Voice and she married Blake Shelton and became a born again Christian.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, I guess she was married to what, Gavin Newsom?

[Brian Green]

No, Gavin Rossdale. Rossdale. Gavin Newsome. Kevin Newsom.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Now with Bush. Yeah, he was the. From Bush and there was a big dusting up. I guess he had an affair and then they had like three kids together, I think.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, they did. He dated the nanny, didn't he? He was like, yeah, he's sleeping with the nanny. Yeah, it's always the nanny.

[Chris Hoadley]

She left and then got on the Voice and then met Blake Shelton and then.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, Astrid won't allow a babysitt. Are under the age of 45 in the house.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

She's always said it, by the way, even before we had children. She's like, just want you to know. No way are we getting some 21 year old foreign exchange student to be our nanny. Yeah, an au pair is. Oh, no. Au pair. Oh no.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, no to au pair.

[Brian Green]

That is not happening. And I was like, I didn't even think. I. This is like, you know, a week after we met and I was like, what? Why so sensitive? And she's like, everybody in Venezuela has an au pair. And it's always the reason for the divorce. Yeah. She's like, it's always the reason for the divorce. And fair enough, you know, hey, listen. Yeah, that's the way it goes. And. Oh, there was one more thing that I wanted to say. Bush was another band that for 12 seconds.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Took over the world.

[Chris Hoadley]

I remember loving that one song. What was that?

[Brian Green]

Everything.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was so moody.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he. He was moody. It was moody. They couldn't follow it up with a, you know, a strong second song, let alone second album. But, you know, you gave them credit for. In that moment. They hit the zeitgeist because people were sick of. Yeah, they were sick of Pearl Jam. They were sick of, you know, Alice and Chains. They were sick of Soundgarden. That lasted for, like, three years. And then came Bush and. And like this. This was like, right before new metal started. Like, yeah, you know, Fred Durst came on the scene and stuff, like Kid Rock and all that. Yeah. Limp Bizkit. Don't get me started. Not that anything against Red Durst. That's just crappy music, though. This just is. And I know there's a lot of people that are in the new metal. I'm just not into new metal. Whatever. Anyway, there's this weird in between. I'm into Scar, Bitch. Sc. I don't know how I didn't see that was offensive in the first place. But listen, you know, we were kids. I'm trying to run from my history. Okay, Yes, I have Scar Bitch in my background.

[Chris Hoadley]

You're facing it.

[Brian Green]

I'm facing it head on. There's probably not one recording of scobage, but if there is, yes, it was me, and I'm sorry. Okay, there we go. Bush hit the middle. They hit the.

[Chris Hoadley]

They were big for what, a year?

[Brian Green]

They hit the MTV Clitoris right there. I mean, they just hit that buzz button. And for a year, you could not get away from that song. And I remember that for MTV spring break, they went down and they played Club La Villa in Panama City.

[Chris Hoadley]

Last spent some time there.

[Brian Green]

Oh, man, did I, too. Right over by that pool, desperately trying not to look like an idiot, trying to get with my Janco jeans. And my pool was huge. Huge. And they had four levels. Oh, man, that place was huge. And they checked your id like they were blind, dumb and deaf. They were like, what? Yep. Come on in.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's where I found my fake id. It was in the bathroom at the Club La Villa.

[Brian Green]

You just grabbed it?

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, it was laying on the counter. Nobody was around. And I looked and I was like, well, she kind of looks like me.

[Brian Green]

Oh, really?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Wow.

[Chris Hoadley]

So I grabbed it.

[Brian Green]

I told you that one time I went down to Panama City, and one time my dad let me go to spring break and we went down to Panama City. We couldn't find a hotel. So we were 20 miles away from Panama City inland at a Holiday Inn, and we drove into town and we got kicked out of one party. Remember I get kicked out of the hotel party people were like, who are you? I was like, I'm the guy. But somebody told the party was here. But we got into Club La Villa by just literally walking in. Like, we had our driver's license. We just went like this.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Just flashed it yeah, we just flashed it. They weren't even. They didn't even give a shit. It was 90s. No one cared. And we went in and we tried not to look like idiots for about 45 minutes and then we left because it was clear that we were idiots. No one cared about us. We had no friends there. We knew no girls, we had no game. We talked to nobody. I think I'd lit up a cigarette and some girl was like, gross. It's like, okay. And everybody smoked back then.

[Chris Hoadley]

Everybody did smoke.

[Brian Green]

So I wasn't sure if she was thinking the cigarette was gross or I was gross. But one way or the other, she made. She made it known it was time for me to go anyway. Bush played Club La Villa and I remember thinking, oh, wow, I've been to club. But like, you know, you have the connection. You're like, wow, I've been there, pouring down rain. And he's out there with his electric guitar doing that. Everybody Zen. It's a great. Actually go on YouTube. It's there. You can go. It's a great version of that song. But that's the only song that Bush ever did that anyone gave a shit about. Or maybe he had one or two.

[Chris Hoadley]

There was one or two others, I think, mixed in there. On that same album.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, on that same album. Yeah. He. Yeah. But Gavin Rossdale continues to be a handsome man.

[Chris Hoadley]

He is.

[Brian Green]

He got the. He got the maid, the nanny.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Who knows if they're still together.

[Brian Green]

But no, of course it never works out. That's the thing about cheating. It never works out. It never works out that all this, you know, you think? I mean, okay, on occasion, for Gwen and Blake, it did. But Gavin starts.

[Chris Hoadley]

They weren't together. I mean, they weren't with their people.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I thought they were.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, she had already left Gavin, he was single too.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, sorry, Gwen. Sorry unto. Sorry about all of it. And now you're born again Christian. Not there's anything against being Christian, but born again Christian. Like that hardcore Bible beating kind of bullshit.

[Chris Hoadley]

I don't know.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. I don't know. You know, same thing happened with. What's that? Russell Brand. He's a Bible beaten Christian, born again Christianity. Yeah, but he's a real. That guy. The less we see of him, the better.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes, I agree.

[Brian Green]

We'll take a break. We'll be back.

[Brian Green]

Scott.

[Chris Hoadley]

I wish there was a recording.

[Brian Green]

There probably is somewhere. I mean, all my friends have the recordings. I never. I never kept it. I never kept the. The recordings of anything. They send some stuff to me when I asked them to send me some stuff. Like the classic. Let's see, is this it? Maybe this is it.

[Chris Hoadley]

Not sunny. Sad.

[Brian Green]

What is this? This is you guys and that kind of girl, Patty Loveless. 967, the legend. It's another late night. Thanks for being with us. Here is Conway Twitty. This is an hour of Brian talking in and out of classic country songs. You want to just round out the show with this. CG shepherd for you. Only one you? Yes, there is only one me. Thank you very much. All right, here's some Michael Martin Murphy. While I give you the weather tomorrow, same situation is today. It's going to be hot and then there's going to be a chance of thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Saturday, it looks like it's going to be stormy all day.

[Chris Hoadley]

Look at you doing the weather.

[Brian Green]

Wow, thanks. The weekend. That's. That's so embarrassing. I don't know why I put that in there. Did we do that one time? I guess we did it one time.

[Chris Hoadley]

Vaginal farts are wonderful things. You need a little key.

[Brian Green]

I do need a little key. I can't. I thought I had. No, I guess I don't. I thought I had some 33 penis in there, but I guess I don't have any 33 penis in there? I'll put it in there for the next. Please do. We need to have some of that on standby just in case, you know, one of us falls over during the show. We need some extra pack. I need to play us out with some 33 penis. Live from shady Oaks Retirement. Yeah, that's for sure. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, that's me talking in and out of 96. Seven the legend. I'm on this app called Remember driving the Legend Van. I mean, if you're new to the show, then you will not have heard this. By the way, this restream makes us look like we have been sunning in Mexico for a week. Yes, it looks terrible. I mean, or good, depending on how you like it. That's not our natural skin color. If you're watching on, I'm assuming, too.

[Chris Hoadley]

With all the ice, you didn't get back to go see James at the gym?

[Brian Green]

No, no, no, no, no, no. The gym was closed on Sunday and Monday. But I'll get back there this week. I'll let you know.

[Chris Hoadley]

Please do.

[Brian Green]

But I do remember. I mean, 96. 7 the legend. WWLG 96. 7, the legend. For those of you who have not been around that long, the small stick is what it was referred to in the building because it was a really small stick. It was basically like a toy radio that you would buy at Radio Shack, and they put it on a stick somewhere down in South Georgia, and they would broadcast classic country through it. And I don't even know how this station survived. I think it made an average. I think it made like $4,000.

[Chris Hoadley]

You're always throwing it in.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you just threw it in for free when you sold the big stick, which was. Yeah, the bowl, which would. You could probably be here in South Carolina, some parts of South Carolina, because how radio works is it's essentially a transistor. And you turn the power up or you turn it down. The government gives you a license and tells you how basic, how tall it is and how powerful it is. And the government tells you how far you can run the signal, essentially how much you can turn it up. And WW lg, which is still in existence today, now it's a Mexican country. Now it's Mexican country station. Basically had like 4 watts. 4 watts. It couldn't have even powered a light bulb, that thing. And so there was about six or seven people in south Atlanta that could listen to the station. You might be able to crackle it in South. You know, in South Atlanta on a cloudy night. But that's how I got on the radio, is that I convinced the program director of, like, the whole company to, like, you know, hey, put. And he said, yeah, go do wwlg. No one listens to that.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

And now you can hear why. Because of my incredible talking in and talking out skills.

[Chris Hoadley]

But he did give you a shot.

[Brian Green]

He did give me a shot. And I remember taking this very seriously. And because no one else in the building wanted anything to do with WW lg. Anytime there was anything to do. Like when the oil and lube down near the racetrack wanted to have a remote but they couldn't afford 94. 9 the bull, the salespeople said, hey, get the Legend. That's perfect. It broadcasts right over the. Right. Right over the racetrack down there. That's the only place that can get the legend. Go down there. And they excitedly sent me an email. Hey, got a remote for you if you want to do it in appearance. And I was like, somebody wants me to do an appearance?

[Chris Hoadley]

I might have sold that.

[Brian Green]

You probably did. And probably because I was on the Legend. Yes, you were looking out for me. And so I think I got 300 bucks or 400 bucks. Yeah, you get a little extra cash. And I remember it was me and Cam, and we woke up on a Saturday morning at like 5:30 in the morning, and we went to the station, picked up the Legend.

[Chris Hoadley]

The van.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, we were.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was like a cargo van that had been wrapped. It had the Legend on the side of it.

[Brian Green]

Oh, it was terrible. Yeah, it had like.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was.

[Brian Green]

And so Cam and I are riding around Atlanta in the 96. 7. The legend van that had no seat belts, no anything in the. No, I rode in it too.

[Chris Hoadley]

Christy and I went down there. We took it down to South Georgia to go try and make some sales.

[Brian Green]

This was a murder bus is what it was. There was no windows.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Except for the two up front. There was no windows, no seat belts. It was just those two seats that bounced a lot every time you hit something. And then there were no shocks, no no hangers, no shelves, no nothing. Just a big empty van. And we threw a banner back there and a card table and a tent and we went down to the oil and Lube gas station. We pulled up, and they had no fucking clue what we were there for. None.

[Chris Hoadley]

We're here.

[Brian Green]

The manager was like, you're what? And I was like, 967 the legend for race day. I always talked with a tw, make everybody feel okay. I was like, 967 legend. We're here for race day because it was race day and, you know, everyone was going to drive by. We were giving tickets to the race away. And I think we had, you know, 100 bucks and, you know, Legend cash. You could all be cash. Yeah, Conway cash. We had Conway cash that you could only use on the radio station's website for, like, shitty deals. Like, you know.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, those deals.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Oh, those deals.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Deals.

[Chris Hoadley]

God, those things went crazy for a while.

[Brian Green]

They went crazy for a while. People, they needed to, you know, the managers were pushing those left and right. What were they called? I forgot. Well, I mean, it was like a Groupon.

[Chris Hoadley]

It was that person.

[Brian Green]

It was through the radio station. And so there'd be like. There was one poor girl just had all these gift certificates on her desk and she had to mail them out. And I mean, it was just like terror. The whole situation was terrible. There was no good about it. Except for you might get, you know, a personal pan pizza. Like a personal pan pizza when you buy 12.

[Chris Hoadley]

Mini golf. Half off mini golf.

[Brian Green]

That's right. All the shittiest stuff. And this was. And there was an oil and lube, you know, deal. And so we had these gift certificates, you know, 5 off your oil and lube. And so we were out there seven in the morning, freezing cold. Seven in the morning. You know, Cam and I, we had the. The speaker. The station was playing, and then I would press the button and I'd be.

[Chris Hoadley]

Like, come on down to Buddy's Oil. And Lou.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You're at Twitties Oil and lube on Highway 777. It's Brian and Cam from Late Night on the Legend. Come on up for your chance to win half off your Twitty lube. And there was no one there. There was no one there. And people would pull out of the loop and they'd be like. Like, what station you with? WWG 967. The legend. You ever heard of late night on the Legend? Those liberals late at night, the two funny guys. That's right. They've just been fired. We're the new management.

[Chris Hoadley]

We're not them.

[Brian Green]

We're new management here to talk to every single of the three listeners. We're here to find the three listeners of WWE L. G. And then later on, as the race got going, there was like a big line of traffic trying to get into the racetrack. And so some people pulled in. It got a little bit warmed up a little bit. It was like five people standing there and the music was playing and one girl was like, can I take a picture with you? And I'd be like, of course. She'd be like, which one are you? Which one are you? She was like, are you Cletus?

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, God, Cletus.

[Brian Green]

That's me. Cletus. Teacher.

[Chris Hoadley]

That guy.

[Brian Green]

Oh, man. Clean as a tea pud. Listen, God bless him. I hope he's doing well. But he was always nice to me, you know, he handed me all the drugs I want. No kidding.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, he was nice. The drama that surrounded him. That surrounded him.

[Brian Green]

He was like, pig Ben. It was like, just like a ball of craziness everywhere he went. I don't even think he showed up to work. Work Guy got a million dollar a year contract to do nothing. He came in twice, I think, and they had to pay him out because of some problems, right? Yeah, some problems. But yeah. We sat down at that oil noob for four hours, and I think maybe 20 people showed up total. And that was mainly people pulling off because they were sick of sitting in the traffic. And like, you know, we gave them a legend sticker or something. Yeah. T shirt or free coupon for ice cream. I forgot what it was all about. But I did earn three or four hundred bucks. And I was excited about that. And I took it very seriously. And I was like, oh, man, I hope I do one of these a week.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, that's where you can make extra.

[Brian Green]

Thousand dollars a month. But that was the only one we ever did. Twitties Oil and Lube did not ask us back. They did not ask us back. They thought it was a limp noodle.

[Chris Hoadley]

You gave it a good shot.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, well, it wasn't worth us, you know, it was like a pull in, pull out lube station. It was like, you know, two bays, pull in, pull out. And we took up all their parking spaces with our tent and our speakers. And I think they felt like it was more disruptive than it was, you know, advantageous. Let's put it this way. I don't think they did any additional business because Cam and I were out there acting like idiots. And I remember Cam had like, spinning tunes. That's right. We had the little board and like, Cam wanted to, like, do the. Had some bits that we did and he wanted to plug them in. And I was like, ah, I gotta read the room here, Cam. I'm not sure they're gonna report back. And I'm not sure that.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, my God, the radio days.

[Brian Green]

It was that girl from. I'm not sure the Sarah Palin bit's gonna fly down in Coweta County. I'm not sure. Sure, it was fun, though. Listen, we had fun and it was good. And I got experience on the radio, and that experience led to nothing. Nothing. One year of positive revenue at the commercial break.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, you know, I mean, I've been along for the ride the whole entire time.

[Brian Green]

I know. Poor Chrissy. Listen, which one's the bigger idiot, me or the one who keeps following me around? I don't know.

[Chris Hoadley]

I did leave Clear Channel first.

[Brian Green]

You did leave Clear for channel first? Yeah, but I was. Yeah, I was.

[Chris Hoadley]

You were right behind.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I was right behind. I think it was weeks later when I left. Yeah. I mean, I don't think. I don't think I stayed very long. Well, you were gone, and then, you know, I was in charge of seven radio stations on purpose because they knew that. That. That. That I wouldn't be good at. That it would be a reason to fire me. So I luckily negotiated my way out.

[Chris Hoadley]

And then you slipped right on over to Simon Goadia.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I went to Simon Goadia. Well, that was like a year later, but, yes, I slipped on over. I left clear channel in 10. 10, nine or 10, and I slipped over to Guabadi in 11. And yeah, so, you know, from one show to the next. That was terrible. That was terrible.

[Chris Hoadley]

I saw that he just dropped his lawsuit against Porsche because he's not sure he can actually get back into the United States.

[Brian Green]

I thought he was down in a holding cell.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, so I read today they shipped him out. He's now in the United Emirates.

[Brian Green]

Oh, he is?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I did see that. Yeah, I saw it.

[Chris Hoadley]

He's dropped his lawsuit against Portia because he doesn't know for sure if he could get back into the US and he has to be present.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you gotta be. Actually gotta show up in court. I mean, I think you can. Yeah. Or a representative.

[Chris Hoadley]

What? The whole thing was over, was what I'm saying. He had erectile dysfunction.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And I mean, how do you prove that or disprove that, honestly, is. He was going to have to do some kind of test. I mean, that's what happened. Like, you know, there's cases where, like, you know, people have to go through drama and listen, Simon's just a bad dude. Just stay away from Simon. He's over there in the Emirates probably, you know, scamming more people. That's what he does. That's what he knows to do. He is literally. When you get those Nigerian oil prince emails, you know, I'm a Nigerian oil man.

[Chris Hoadley]

He really had convinced everyone he was.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he was a real life Nigerian oil man who had no oil at all ever.

[Chris Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Green]

But somehow there was money flowing somewhere. I'm not really sure. Don't even want to be honest with you, probably, but, you know, I didn't get that involved because, you know, he just owed me a bunch of money. Still does. Jesus. If I had all the money from all the people who owed me, I'd be fine. Fine. But there is a point of diminishing returns when it's just like, what am I going to do? Sit in court all day long? You know, I'm not Donald Trump. I don't have 12 lawyers just waiting to sue anybody. And everybody who I think has done, you know, done me wrong. Song. But maybe that's a problem. Maybe I do need a team of lawyers. Maybe I could pay for the team of lawyers if I would just get some of this money back.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

I mean, Que body. It probably owes me $90,000. That's a lot of fucking cash. Yeah. I worked for that guy for a year for almost free. I think we got three paychecks. And then he just strung us along for the next five months. It was insane. Insane. And then I had to be the guy who was like, he's coming. Who's coming? Don't worry. Simon's good for it.

[Chris Hoadley]

He's got oil.

[Brian Green]

He's got oil. It's coming. It's on his way from Nigeria. Fingers crossed. Pinky promise. Oh, Lord, I'll tell you Good times.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, good times.

[Brian Green]

Good times. Times. Good times, everybody. Good times. All right, we'll be back on Thursday. We'll be back on Thursday, I think maybe for two episodes on Thursday.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Okay. We'll be back on Thursday for two episodes. So tune in early or late, whatever you want to do, however you feel. And then I think on Friday, I am going to run our interview with Billy Garage Cardell.

[Chris Hoadley]

Nice.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

That was fun.

[Brian Green]

That was a fun interview. It was a fun interview. He was a good guy.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I really enjoyed it.

[Chris Hoadley]

To watch that movie on Amazon. I can't remember the name of it now, but I'll go back.

[Brian Green]

I'll put it in the. I'll put a link in the show notes. So you get two episodes. I think what's gonna happen probably here very soon. Maybe as soon as this week or next week. You'll get three episodes of the commercial break, new every week. Week. And then maybe a TCB classic on Fridays so you can catch up and you know, yeah, we'll have some fun. We'll do it that way. Okay. We'll do it that way for the foreseeable future.

[Chris Hoadley]

We're flexible. We're learning as we go. Six years later.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, six years later, we're just figuring it all out. But that's the world of podcasting. The world of comedy podcasting is in a lot of tumult right now, just if I'm being honest. So I don't want to get into all the bad news, but there's a lot of comedy podcasts that are not doing so well. They're seeing numbers decline fast, and I think I know why. We're just not that good at what we do, and we do too much of it. Well, someone's excited about us doing three episodes.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Okay. All right, we'll do it. All right. So three episodes. You'll get Billy Gardell, I think, this Friday, the tune in. It's a good interview.

[Rachel]

He.

[Brian Green]

He's a good guy. You're gonna enjoy what he has to say. Promise you. He is not the guy from Mike and Molly. He's a new guy and he's really cool. He was really cool. So, I mean, he is a guy from Mike. You get what I'm saying? I don't have to explain everything to you, do I? Okay. And if you want to listen to my wife off camera, follow me at Brian W. Green on Instagram at. The commercial break is our official instagram page @tcb. Chrissy is Chrissy's YouTube.com. the commercial break is where you can watch all of the episodes that we do live, or you can go to the website tcb podcast.com, get your free sticker. Okay, Chrissy. I guess that's all I can do for today.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

I'll tell you that I love you. I'll say best to you, best to you. Best you out there in the podcast universe. Until next time, Chrissy and I will say we do say and we must say goodbye. Sa.
