The Commercial Break – "A Tantra Master!" (May 16, 2025)

Hosts: Bryan Green and Krissy Hoadley
Podcast Type: Improv-comedy, variety, sex & pop culture commentary
Episode Theme:
This episode mixes TCB’s signature offbeat banter with a deep pop-culture dive into the Menendez brothers case, a tongue-in-cheek “Ask TCB: Sex Edition” segment, and a nostalgic look at legendary sex educator Sue Johanson. The hosts riff on everything from prison sentencing reform and the psychology of eye contact during sex to the perils of Crocs in bed and the wonders of vaginal farts.

Main Topics & Key Discussions

1. The Menendez Brothers: Justice, Abuse, and Pop Culture

[05:11–23:41]

• Background Recap:
  Bryan outlines the Menendez case: two brothers convicted of murdering their wealthy parents, citing years of physical, mental, and sexual abuse by their father (who managed the boy band Menudo).

  “The Menendez brothers... lived this life of opulence... but the father was known to be an extreme hard ass.”
  — Bryan [08:49]

• Media & Trial Coverage:
  Multiple TV dramatizations (e.g., Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story”) reignited public debate; Bryan and Krissy discuss factual liberties in Hollywood recreations.

• Trial & Sentencing Insight:

  • First trial ended in a hung jury; the second found them guilty.
  • Abuse claims were largely barred from defense testimony.
  • Recent developments: resentenced from “life without parole” to “50 to life,” making them newly eligible for parole after 30+ years.

  “If the parole board… finds that there is some genuine remorse and growth… then I think you’ve paid your debt to society.”
  — Bryan [18:08]

• Psychology of Trauma:
  Bryan links childhood trauma to later psychological struggle:

  “Your psyche does not stand one fucking iota of a chance. You are dunzy.”
  — Bryan [16:07]

2. Religion, Hell, and Internet Riffs

[21:47–24:03]

• Dogma & Hellfire:
  Bryan describes seeing contrasting preachers on Instagram—one seeking to free Christians from “fear-based” beliefs around hell, another aggressively deconstructing Christianity.

  “I liked that vibe… Still don’t believe in the dogma, but I liked that.”
  — Bryan [22:46]

3. Ask TCB: Sex Edition—Listener Questions with Unfiltered Advice

[26:33–46:51]

A. Crocs During Sex

• Question: Boyfriend insists on wearing bright yellow Crocs for “traction.”
• Advice: Bryan and Krissy reject Crocs-in-bed as a red flag bordering on grounds for divorce.

  “When you bring those Crocs into bed, you’ve taken Disney adult into a whole new realm.”
  — Bryan [28:28]

B. Edible Body Paint Disaster (with Dog)

• Question: Listener’s dog licked up “raspberry glaze” from the aftermath.
• Advice: Close the door before sex with pets; give the dog a bath.

  “This is the problem with animals. They get awful curious when you’re procreating.”
  — Bryan [32:04]

C. Eye Contact—Too Intense?

• Question: Girlfriend says too much eye contact during sex is “serial killer” vibes.
• Bryan’s Take:
  • Eye contact is good, but “use it sparingly… to show connection and compassion.”

  “Now, as a guy who is basically a tantra master—”
  — Bryan [38:03]

  • Eye contact exercises at tantra retreats are “not a dry eye in the house” after 15 minutes, but sex might not call for that intensity.

D. Pegging & Prostate Play

• Subtopic: Pegging enters the conversation; Bryan invites listeners to share experiences.

  “Get pegged, stare at yourself, problem solved. Thank you, TCB!”
  — Bryan [40:20]

E. Spanking—Bravo?

• Question: Listener loves spanking but husband claps and yells “Bravo!” instead.
• Advice: Clear communication and gentle instruction—maybe watch Fifty Shades of Grey together.

  “You gotta teach them. You gotta be instructive. Because guys, sometimes we just don’t get it.”
  — Bryan [42:50]

F. The Sensual Hover / Sexy Ghost

• Question: Listener initiates sex by “hovering…like a sexy ghost”; wife says it’s more Cirque du Soleil.
• Advice: If your moves make her laugh “at you, not with you,” it’s time for a new playbook.

  “I think she’s about to sexy ghost you.”
  — Bryan [44:33]

Irreverent, improvisational, empathetic, and joyfully NSFW. Both hosts balance real talk (on trauma, sex, and self-awareness) with constant playful ribbing, tangents, and over-the-top analogies. The episode delivers a blend of sex-positive education, cultural nostalgia, and “just fine” anti-expert wisdom.

Recommended For:
Anyone who likes their sex advice with a side of sarcasm and ‘90s pop culture, or who wants a reminder that communication, humor, and exploration are all vital to both relationships and personal growth.

Best To You!
