Summary

Episode Summary – The Commercial Break: "B-Moji!" (February 4, 2026)

Overview

This improvisational comedy episode of The Commercial Break finds hosts Bryan Green and Krissy Hoadley riffing on a medley of cultural topics: the chaos of sports media rights (especially watching the Atlanta Braves), unforgettable moments and fashion from the Grammys, generational style trends, and the absurdity of the Kid Rock “All-American” Super Bowl counter-programming special. The episode also delivers a signature TCB mix of irreverent storytelling as Bryan recounts a late-night encounter with a car accident, and the duo discuss true crime media and high-profile missing persons cases.

Key Discussion Points

1. Sports Broadcasting Drama: Braves, Fanduel, and the Streaming Quagmire (00:08–07:38)

• Media Confusion: Bryan and Krissy vent about the challenges of figuring out where to watch the Atlanta Braves as the team (and nine others) leave FanDuel Network due to missed royalty payments.
  • Bryan: “What the fuck? Braves… The Braves is one of the most valuable sports franchises ever. When they get sold, it will be for billions with a B of dollars.” (03:00)
• Streaming Future: Optimism about the possibility of Apple or Amazon picking up broadcasting—enthusiasm for easier access if it goes to major streaming services.
  • “If you have dead air, you can’t have dead air. So what do you do? You just give people freebies. That’s what you do.” (07:40)
• Nostalgia: Banter about the simpler days when TBS and WGN made the Braves and Cubs household names across the country.

2. Tits, Fashion, and Outrage at the Grammys (09:05–14:45)

• Chappell Roan's Prosthetic Fashion Statement: The duo dissect pop star Chappell Roan’s much-discussed (and prosthetically enhanced) Grammys look.
  • Krissy: “Those were prosthetics.” (09:16)
  • Bryan: “I love the look, actually… Not everyone’s gonna fit the mold.” (09:37)
• Fashion & Sexuality in Pop Culture: Deeper reflection on how breasts, sex, and outrage cycle through fashion, generational perceptions, and whether parents want their kids emulating such styles.
  • “There is nothing outrageous about a set of tits. They are tits. They are tits. Everyone has them, including men.” (10:41)
• Generational Trends: Discussion of shifting fashion norms—loose, comfy clothes come back, with JNCO-style jeans and joggers replacing leggings for younger generations.
  • Bryan: “Everything old is new again. And that’s how it works.” (12:10)
• Parenting Dilemmas: Bryan jokes about the challenge of admiring pop fashion trends versus setting boundaries for his kids.

3. Overproduced Grammys, Bieber in Silk Boxers, and Award Show Ennui (14:45–18:23)

• Award Show Critique: The hosts lament the overproduction of modern music awards, expressing nostalgia for simpler formats and genuine musicianship.
  • Bryan: “Clearly they’re trying so hard, and they don’t have to do it in that fucking stadium.”
• Justin Bieber’s Grammys Look: Hilarity over Bieber’s infamous appearance.
  • “Why are you doing that, Bieber? You’re like, literally train-wrecking in front of the entire world live.” (15:30)
  • Krissy: “It was bizarre.” (15:41)
• Changing Culture: Commentary on the difference between past and present Grammys, with a shift towards more outlandish, unpredictable, or “trainwreck” moments to capture attention.

4. Super Bowl Halftime Culture War: Bad Bunny vs. Kid Rock (18:23–22:16)

• Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl:
  • Appreciation for Bad Bunny’s massive influence and transcending genre—plus his brave Grammys speech while wearing a bulletproof vest due to threats.
    • “He killed it… The spotlight is directly on him. People are watching his every move.” (19:00)
  • Pushback against the manufactured outrage around his selection.
• Counter-Programming Ridicule:
  • Satirical take on the “Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show” (with mentions of right-wing media, “rumble,” and daily wire).
    • Bryan: “I do not have any interest in seeing Kid Rock do any… Anything.” (22:47)
    • Krissy: “No.”
  • They deride the idea as unhinged culture-war pandering; plenty of humor at Kid Rock’s expense.

5. After-Hours Drama: The Curious Case of the Car in a Tree (29:23–43:59)

• Bryan’s Neighborhood Adventure: Vivid retelling of finding a crashed car stuck in a neighbor’s yard post-party, horn blaring, with the driver nowhere in sight.
  • Astrid: “I think there’s a car in the tree.” (30:36)
  • Bryan: “I slowly crept up to that car. Both airbags deployed, iPad in the passenger seat, credit card in the middle…” (33:09)
• Speculation on Hit-and-Runs: The duo consider why drivers bail on accidents (dui avoidance, immigration status, fear), sharing stories of similar incidents in their respective neighborhoods.
  • Krissy: “She was drunk… They were trying to get a tow truck out to come get the car before the police got there. The police got there first.” (39:46)
• Insurance Realities: Leaving the scene negates coverage—remarking on how common sense (and fear) sometimes clash in such scenarios.

6. True Crime Tangents: High-Profile Missing Persons Cases (47:03–57:46)

• Savannah Guthrie’s Missing Mother & the Olympics: Commentary on media coverage and the strains celebrities face in personal crises.
• Viral Social Media Rescue: Bryan narrates the wild story of a dad finding his missing teenage daughter thanks to viral videos and a boat rescue—acknowledging skepticism about the story’s movie-like qualities.
  • Bryan: “He decides to go full taken and storm the boat himself. Storms the boat, and guess what? His daughter is there.” (52:08)
• Reflections on Parenting, Media, and Judgment: The complexities families face under public scrutiny, from Elizabeth Smart and JonBenét Ramsey to their own evolving opinions over the years.

7. What They’re Watching (58:12–59:14)

• Series Chat: Krissy brings up "The Pit" and Bryan reviews "The Night Manager"—banter about suspense, plausibility, and entertainment trends in streaming drama series.

Transcript

[Brian Green]

On this episode of the commercial break. I thought all those gambling companies were flush with cash, aren't they? I guess not. If they can't make their payments. I mean, and you would think with the media rights to all of the. Here's the thing is that when I was watching sport, when I was watching the Braves on the fanduels network or what was called Bally Sports.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, Bally Sports. That's right.

[Brian Green]

Which I think Bally's owns FanDuel. I guess I don't know who fucking do it. Ow, ow.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, the emoji. I don't know.

[Brian Green]

I have my own emoji. Like Apple made me an emoji with, you know, with a bald head and a big glass. And whenever I press that particular emoji, instead of being a small emoji in the middle of a sentence, it just automatically sends it as one huge emoji with me going, oh, I look like a fucking asshole. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best to you out there in the podcast and streaming audience. Thanks for joining us. We just got done with a lovely conversation with the brand new host of the CW smash game show sensation, Scrabble. The none. Only the. The one and only none other than Craig Ferguson.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Personal hero of mine. And I don't say that lightly. He is. There was no other television show like the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It was really good.

[Brian Green]

In history. It would go down is the best ever, ever, ever, ever. As my son would say, ever. Craig was just as funny and witty and charming and as intelligent. He's a Scottish guy, so he can say anything.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Good looking.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You can say fuck you and it would sound nice. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he's good looking. He's fucking handsome. That dude is handsome.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I love his hair.

[Brian Green]

Ah. I got the Irish side, not the Scottish side, so I'm not going that direction. Yeah, he's Silver Bullet now. Dude. No, not a lick of color in that hair, but he looks better than ever. I do have to say I want.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

To watch the Scrabble.

[Brian Green]

I do want to watch Scrabble.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I'm now interested about the cw.

[Brian Green]

Was figure out how to get to the cw. Yeah. But once we did, then we found it. Cw. What's that? What's that? Well, you see, kids, back in the day A lot of bikini clad women used to run around of a place called the cw. Yeah, yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Turn on very often.

[Brian Green]

No, but now I will. I actually press. I got, I got Scrabble on record now. So I'm gonna watch Craig on the cw, but I don't know where I'm going to watch my Braves. Did you hear about all this?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, God. There's always something.

[Brian Green]

What the fuck? Braves. The Braves is one of the most valuable sports franchises ever. When they get sold, it will be for billions with a B of dollars. And that's, you know, that's. I don't think I'm, I don't think I'm venturing a guess there. I think that's true.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I agree.

[Brian Green]

Their media empire is unmatched. The Cubs and the Braves. And the reason why is because TBS and wgn, they used to carry those games nationally. Uh, so a lot of people who didn't have a professional baseball team that they could access on their local television stations would watch through TBS and wgn. That's why the Cubs and the Braves are two of the most popular baseball teams ever. Uh, and the Braves, along with nine other teams, have now separated with FanDuels Network. The FanDuel Network owned by Main Street Sports. Because Main Street Sports was not paying them their royalties, they missed some royalty payments and so now it looks like the channel's gonna go. But I will have to say this is good news for the everyday fan. And, and the talk is that the Braves are now in conversations with Apple and Amazon to put their games on streaming. On Apple or Amazon? Fuck yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. Every year I have this whole conversation with Jeff about because he has to order some special package to be able to watch the Braves. And I'm like, it's like a hundred dollars more.

[Brian Green]

That's it, Just to watch the Braves. I know we did the same thing. We bought the FanDuel package just so we could watch the Braves. And it is a load of horseshit. Now you have to get Amazon or Apple, I'm sure, to watch the Braves. Now, it's not going to be 100% free, but nine other local teams are dealing with the same thing because of this whole deal with FanDuel. But last year, the last two years, it has been awful confusing to figure out exactly where we watch the Braves. And like we were talking to Craig about game shows and sports are the two things that we can watch as a family that everybody understands or at least, you know, pretends they understand.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You know, my playoffs.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, my playoffs. I don't really understand. My 7 year old understands some of these sports better than I do. But they get into it. You know, if dad's into it or mom's into it, then they're into it and that's it. So the game shows and the Braves and I want them to watch the Brave. I like the Braves. You know, of course, listen, our home team, that's right, 278 games a year. So, you know, almost every night between March and September you can watch a baseball game. Why not? Let's do it. And so I hope that they get this straightened out or at least go to a local media station. You know, whatever happened to the good old days when you just turn on tbs?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I know it was just there.

[Brian Green]

Sanford and Son at 7:05 and the Braves game at 7:35. That's how it rolled for years and years and years. It was an institution. It was an institution. Or you could listen to. Or when I I'm going to date myself a little bit here, but you could turn on WGN and listen to Harry Carey call the day games at the, the old Wrigley Field. So anyway, bit of drama. Fanduel. I thought all those gambling companies were flush with cash, aren't they? I guess not if they can't make their payments. I mean. And you would think with the media rights to all of the. Here's the thing is that when I was watching sport, when I was watching the braves on the FanDuel's network or what was called Bally's Sports.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, Bally Sports. That's right.

[Brian Green]

Which I think Bally's owns FanDuel. I guess. I don't know. Who fucking knows.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh yeah, the emoji.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. I have my own emoji. Like Apple made me an emoji with, you know, with a bald head and a big glass. And whenever I press that particular emoji, instead of being a small emoji in the middle of a sentence, it just automatically sends it as one huge emoji with me going, oh, look like a fucking asshole. Whenever I would try and get that fucking. Whenever I would watch that Braves and the Bally's FanDuel Sports Southeast Network or whatever the fuck it's called this day, these days, the commercials in the middle in the games were uniquely local commercials. Uniquely repeating themselves uniquely. Every advertising break, every break it'd be Anderson. Windows has been, you know, giving windows to Atlanta since 1979. You know, it'd be like, lookie, lookie, lookie, here comes cookie cooks Pest control. Same shit. Every fucking ad break. And so some people might say, well, good for. They got all the. You know, they sold all the. No, that's not what's happening. What's happening is likely they didn't sell all the advertisement, but they cannot run a television like ad break without anything.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. So they just steal it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, same with radio. If you have dead air, you can't have dead air. So what do you do? You just give people freebies. That's what you do. That's what you have to do. So anyway, we'll see what happens. But it looked like. I'm hopeful that this ends up on Apple, Amazon, or the CW or the C. There you go, the cw. I take the cw. Give me yet another reason to watch the cw. I. I would take that. So there you go. Lots of news. Lots of interesting shit going on in the news. I mean, without stating the obvious, Chappelle runs Brett. Yeah, we're fucked. We're fucked. Nationalize the elections. What the fuck is this guy talking about, man? It's. Hey, hey, hey. Let me tell you something. I went to a party this weekend. I was with a lot of people. It's not nice to talk politics in front of mixed company. But I did because that's because I got a big mouth. I can't shut the fuck up. And talking to some Venezuelans and Venezuelans, I don't know. And that's weird because when you're Venezuelan, you know every other Venezuelan, but we didn't know these Venezuelans. But I was talking to them. This looks very familiar to them. What's going on here in the United States looks very familiar to them. So mind your P's and Q's, kids, because, you know, fascism coming right to your front door, authoritarianism. Anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk about. What I wanted to talk about was Chappelle Roan's tits.

[Rachel]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

I mean, what else? What else is the biggest news of the day? Chappelle Roan showed up to the Grammys. A lot of nearly nude, nude, see through dresses on the red carpet.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Rage.

[Brian Green]

Tits are all the rage.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

She. Those were prosthetics.

[Brian Green]

I saw that. I zoomed in and it was taken.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

From like, I guess a look from the Runway. Mugler, I think, was the designer from 1998.

[Brian Green]

I did see that. Yeah, I saw that. But that was like the real. That was the real, real tits. Yeah, yeah, those were real tits. But what she did was she put prosthetic nipples on.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And then they covered them really well, so it looked essentially like she had a breast without a nipple. And then nipple rings were holding up her garment, which was extraordinarily interesting. I love the look, actually. I thought it was really cool. And not your. I mean, listen, you gotta have Chappelle Roan's tits to do that, right? Not everyone's gonna. Not everyone's gonna fit the mold.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, I know. I guess. And she's kind of her own person, you know, she's her own artistic person. But I guess the picture that I saw too was like she was kind of slouching and then had like a bad expression.

[Brian Green]

Oh. So the tits were like kind of hanging.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Rachel and I were kind of talking about it, like, I don't know.

[Brian Green]

The only picture I saw, she was standing straight up. And I thought, well, you can do that at a certain age or with a certain type of breast, right? But not everyone's going to be.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, I mean, it seems like when was the whole sensory. Bianca, sensory and, and you know, the Kanye and the new dress. When did that. Was that Grammys or was that something.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that was the Grammys. That was two years ago. He stormed the Grammys.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

So. Oh, my God, everybody can believe it. And now everybody does it.

[Brian Green]

That's right. Everyone's doing it. That's how fashion works, right? That's how outrage works. You get a reaction and then everyone else wants to follow. This is. There is nothing outrageous about a set of tits. They are tits. They are tits. Everyone has them, including men. But the, you know, we have. And I'm guilty as this. I'm as guilty as anyone of doing this. Hyper sexualized breasts. That's what we do, right? So someone walks on the red carpet and they have their tits out. You know, listen, as far as I'm concerned, I don't know if I'd want my children watching it, right? Because you know, there's like, you got to have.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Human body is beautiful.

[Brian Green]

It is.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Especially women's. But as far as like fashion, right? I don't know if there's a fashion.

[Brian Green]

Part of that fashion sex to me go hand in hand, right? Like fashion, sex, rock and roll. It's all goes hand in hand to me. And I don't know that I want to encourage my daughters to be wearing see through tops, right?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, it's happening.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I know it's going to happen. I know it's already happening. Yeah, I'm out there in the world. I see. I see these fuck, 18, 19, 20 year olds barely there or not there, you know, just Wearing see through stuff.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Also, though, I was reading that there's. The new trend with the younger generation is actually to be more comfortable.

[Brian Green]

Have a little more.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, like, more comfortable things.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Leggings are out now.

[Brian Green]

No more leggings.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. Now it's like joggers, track track pants, you know, whatever. Be comfortable. Men maybe be a little.

[Brian Green]

The Django jeans are back in for the women. Janco jeans. Not that. Not Janko the brand, but that style is back in. Is. Astrid's got a pair and I thought, are you going skating? What are you doing in those? She's like, it's the new, like, hit mom style. And I was like, oh, okay. Took me a minute to get used to it because it was a flashback. But everything old is new again. And that's how it works. And so for me, I just want to be careful that I'm not modeling something for my children that then I have to explain to them why they can't, like, I can't get all excited about Chappelle Roan's tits hanging out. And then my daughter at nine comes to me and says, oh, I want nipple rings. I want nipple rings to hang my clothes off of. And I go, well, well, you like it, Daddy? Well, I. Daddy's creepy, so let's leave that out. But anyway, I, you know, listen, this is like, tits are tits. And they've always been a part of fashion, by the way.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

You go way back to the 50s and 60s and 70s and, you know, boobs are part of. It's an accessory in some ways.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I guess what I'm saying is I don't know if a nude, like, now what Chappelle Roman was wearing was fashion, but like the. Just the nude dresses. I don't know that that's fashion.

[Brian Green]

I don't know either. I'm having a hard time. Like, I like it because I like to look at it, but I don't know that it looks good. Yeah. But I don't know that it looks good. I don't know. It might as well just show up with nothing on it. Right? You're putting on a piece of sheer lace. Whatever. Anyway, that's the Grammys. That's what they do. And these have always been Grammys.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Were.

[Brian Green]

Grammys are just like this year. I ha. Because the Grammys are. When I was a teenager, like, I know 11 to 28, 29. Because I desperately wanted to be a musician of note.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

The Grammy is what I wanted. The Grammy is what I dreamed of the grant showing up at the Gram playing at the Grammys show there.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Used to be playing at the Grammys.

[Brian Green]

Hanging my pants from two dick rings. Like nut rings. Goals. Prosthetics. Goals. Goals. Kids, hashtag goals. But that and I loved watching the Grammys and the MTV Video music awards, the VMAs. Those two things to me were like, that's the Mount Everest of award shows, and I could give a shit about anything else. Now I'd much rather watch the Golden Globes than the Grammys. Part of it is I'm not listening to a lot of the music that is that.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

There's that. And then a lot of it is just so produced. So produced.

[Brian Green]

Over produced.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. Overproduced.

[Brian Green]

All the numbers. And they're like, you know.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You know, clearly. It's just. Clearly they're trying so hard and they don't have to do it in that fucking stadium. Let's get over that whole thing. I'm serious. Put it back in a room with 300 people sitting at tables. And I know that it's not gonna be as electric for the audience, but, you know, the Grammys has done something interesting over the last couple of years. I think they should do more of which is they go live to an actual concert somewhere in the United States or wherever across the world, and then that musician does a number.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, I like that.

[Brian Green]

At the concert. Right. I like that. That's a real representation of what music is.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

But instead they cut to Bieber and silk boxers and the fuu. When he came out, I was like, what?

[Brian Green]

What are you doing? Why are you doing that? Bieber, you're like, literally train wrecking in front of the entire world live. That was the most.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It was bizarre.

[Brian Green]

I don't know who advised him that that was a good idea, but you could hear people laughing when he came out. You could hear it. It was like a dead silence pin drop as he came out. And then you heard people laughing as the light shined on him. Listen, I'm rooting for the kids.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

Tough life. Tough life. You know, billionaire tough life, but tough life, right? I mean, come on.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, he's had some health problems.

[Brian Green]

He's had health problems. He's had mental health issues. He's sometimes. I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to speculate on what's going on with Bieber, but at the same time, like, dude, yeah. If this is your big comeback after five years, I'm not playing live music anywhere. Whatever the deal is, show up dressed, kill it.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Simple. Understated do it. Everyone's. Everyone's rooting for you.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Exactly.

[Brian Green]

You don't have to do it in your fucking boxers and socks. And socks. By the way, I cannot tell the difference between Bieber's 13 year old body and Bieber's 30 year old body.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

That's true.

[Brian Green]

I will give him that. Good for you. You're beaten. Father time. No dad bod there, that's for sure. Do they have a kid yet?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

They do.

[Brian Green]

They do. Okay. No, dad bod has not set in on, on Justin Bieber, but he might be smoking too much weed for it. I don't know. Like him and Snoop Dogg just have like these, you know, just tiny little bodies. But I don't know. It took away from the entire performance. I couldn't tell you whether or not it was good because all I could see was Justin Bieber and his silk boxers.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

And his socks.

[Brian Green]

And his socks. It's too comfy. We don't need to. We don't need to be that intimate. We can like. How about business casual? Can we say business casual? How about stoner casual? Can we go stoner cash? Put on a pair of jankos.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Right, right. Barrel jeans.

[Brian Green]

That's right. You want to wear a tank top. Okay, cool. You know, show off your little beeb fleebs. Okay, got it. 10, 4. But don't just show up in boxers. That's a ridiculous thing to do. It was ridiculous and I think everybody thought it. I think I'm saying the thing that we all felt right, like. But I read all these articles and, you know, everyone's too afraid to step on it, step on the line. But they're like, oh, Justin Bieber shows up in boxers. And I go, what the fuck? And everybody else is like, you know, makes his grand comeback. Yeah, he made his grand comeback. And everyone goes, shouldn't he be in an asylum somewhere? Where's Haley?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

She was in the audience.

[Brian Green]

I know. Lovingly looking.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

At her husband in his silk boxers and socks playing his little guitar, chingy, ching ching. All right. Okay, then what else did we have? Okay, we had a bunch of performances. Way overproduced, way over.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I didn't even watch the whole thing.

[Brian Green]

But we had one moment. I think that stood out from almost any of the moments. One of the notable moments, which was Bad Bunny getting up.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I saw that and I loved it.

[Brian Green]

Barely able to. Barely mastering the English language. And I give him all the credit in the world because I know it's very difficult when you speak a second language to be in front of people trying to speak that second language, Especially if you haven't fully mastered it yet. And I'm not. I don't think I'm saying anything out of. Out of turn here. Bad Bunny has not fully mastered English yet, but he just killed it.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Killed it. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I was like, yes, yes, amen. And then everyone else who followed had to say something. But I give him a lot of credit. He is under an immense amount of pressure right now. The spotlight is directly on him. People are watching his every move. He's getting criticized by at least a third of the people that live in this country who are not thinking with all of their brain cells. I don't know. I don't know cares. The super bowl is not about American musicians. The super bowl halftime show has traditionally been about the musician. People who deserve that are big enough.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

The Stones played. I mean, there's been plenty of people that aren't from Katy Perry.

[Brian Green]

Came out in like a blow up dildo or something. Okay, we're all right. Prince played, Tom Petty played, Bruce Springsteen played. Stones, Metallica. Everybody's played because they are big enough that they transcend pop culture, they transcend the style. So Bad Bunny is reggaeton, mostly, mainly, right? And Bad Bunny, my friends, is the artist. He's got like 182 billion streams or something like that.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

He's great.

[Brian Green]

His music, I like a number of his songs. Do I listen to Bad Bunny on rotation? No, I do not. But I know Bad Bunny because I am in a multicultural family and Bad Bunny is everywhere.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

We interviewed the producer, Nicky Jam. Yeah, Nicky Jam.

[Brian Green]

Nicky Jam and Bad Bunny. Friends. Friendly and friends. And so reggaeton has transcended culture, just like country music has transcended the pop culture one lane. It's now everywhere. It's part of everything. So Bad Bunny's gonna do the Super Bowl. But I say all this to say that Bad Bunny said what needed to be said. He said the thing, and I appreciate that. And he did it wearing a bulletproof vest. I don't know if you noticed.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It did. No, I didn't.

[Brian Green]

He had a bulletproof vest.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Whoa.

[Brian Green]

And if you pay real close attention. Actually not even really that close of attention. If you watch him walk up to stage, you will see that Bad Bunny was wearing a bulletproof.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, I guess that's the times we're in. Unfortunately.

[Brian Green]

That's it. I mean, unbelievable is his security team has said that he's gotten like, you know, 4,000 death threats a week or something. It's just insane because he got invited to do the fucking super bowl death threats.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I just. I mean, really bad enough you're, like saying mean things, but then you're going to death threat.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, but don't worry if that's not your thing.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You can tune in to Kid Rock, the alternative.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, Kid Rock hoedown showdown. They'll be going head to head.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Who is it? Kid Rock and who else but Lee Green?

[Brian Green]

Kid Rock on the wb. Kid Rock's on the wb? Check them out. Yeah, it's like Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood, the only. All the suspicious suspect Nasta, Pastor Martin, the token black guy, you know, somebody they paid $1 billion to to pretend he likes Trump for 10 minutes. You know, it's all the. That, you know, just to show that it's about. It's about. It's not about diversity. Yeah, sure it is. All right. Okay. This is totally insane concept, but whatever.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

So dumb.

[Brian Green]

Listen, to be fair. To be fair, they have the Puppy bowl while the super bowl is on, right?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I love the Puppy Bowl.

[Brian Green]

There is counter programming to the Super Bowl. So, you know, not that they can't do it. Go ahead, do your thing. Get. Knock it out. But I can guarantee, you know, you'll get people that are tuning in. No doubt about it. People will tune in. They're mindless. They're brainwashed. They're going to tune in to the Kid Rock super bowl show. But I would much rather be watching the Real Deal. And I do not have any interest in seeing Kid Rock do any. Anything.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Green]

I watched a YouTube video of him playing at the Sturgis or something like that. And.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, the motorcycle thing.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah. People waited for like three hours in the rain to see Kid Rock. And he came on like 48 minutes late. Oh, God, it's like the crowd just left. They, like, people just dispersed. They were like, no, not for me. Listen, that's your thing. That's your thing. But we should. I think. I think.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Hello.

[Brian Green]

Hi. Someone on the stream says hi. Hi. I think we should really not be that upset about Bad Fucking Bunny. He's a good artist. He's. He's gonna do a great job. And if it's not your thing, that's cool. Turn it off. And if you feel like flipping on Kid Rock, he'll be on the wb, wherever that is. On the wb. All right, let's take our first break. Don't worry, you didn't miss much. You never do. So let's take our first break and then when we get back, I'll tell you about my weekend. I had a Very interesting.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, yes, you did.

[Brian Green]

Weekend here at the Green household and out and about. I actually left my house.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You did?

[Brian Green]

Yeah. It's during Snowmageddon two weekends in a row, hoping for a little bit of fucking fuzzy activity so that my kids could go outside and have some fun in the snow.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It was too windy for the snow to stick.

[Brian Green]

I mean, it was Dr. Out right away.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It just swirled it.

[Brian Green]

Well, it looked like a snowstorm for about three hours, but then it was so windy and that wind was so dry that it just sucked up all the moisture. So as soon as it hit the ground, it just went. Just went away. I think it. I think we had snow on the ground for about three hours. Okay, well, I got to find my commercials here. That's always a problem. Let's do that. All right, let's find the commercials. When we return, more fun and shenanigans from Chrissy and I here on the commercial. Wb, wb, Kid Rock. Coming up next on the wb. Kid Rock just bought the wb, so he had a station to put his show. All right, we'll be back. Okay.

[Rachel]

You're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at tcb. It's pretty simple. Astrid asked me to shut Brian up, even for a minute. Well, lovely Astrid, your wish is my command. Do you want to help Astrid too? You know you do. Leave a message for her or me or Chrissy at 212-4333, TCB. That's 212-433-3822. You can be on the show too. Just call and say something, anything. Or text us, and we'll text you right back. Promise. Then head over to tcbpodcast.com and get your free sticker. It's your constitutional right to a sticker, and we must abide. You get the point? Follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and watch all the episodes on [e-mail] thecommercial break. Best to you and Astrid. Especially Astrid.

[Caller/Listener]

Just a guy who rants. Not funny at all. The co host is a. She's pretty dark. People like the show. Why are they on the charts? What's the fuck they talking about? I should love a suit of stats. TCV is terrible. This show is bad. I'd like to punch Ryan's mouth. This podcast is kinda sad. Is this what we think is funny? Now how do I turn it off? My ears are saying ow. Stop laughing at yourself. Are these two making sense? At least I didn't pay. I am deaf. In my defense, TCB is Terrible. That is being kind. Both the hosts are idiots. They left the funny behind. What is this show about? It's offensive to my soul. Brian is a ha. These two aren't funny and so old. Why all the hype? How did this get made so many episodes, none of which are great. TCB is terrible. Worst show you could do. TCB is terrible. Worst to you.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Worse to you.

[Brian Green]

Worse to you. Indeed. Worse to you. All right. Kid Rock's All American halftime Show airs Sunday, February 8th, around sometime. I'm not gonna tell you on YouTube. And rumble.

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

What's Rumple?

[Brian Green]

I don't know, but let's get there. Oh, it also airs on Oan. Okay.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Of course it does.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, we. Okay. And the Daily Wire plus which you have to pay for. Oh, charge. Whatever that is. Go ahead, tune in to charge. Brantley Gilbert, Lee Bryce and Gabby Barrett, who won 2021's Country Music New country Music artist of the year award. So she's doing great. Doing great things. Going places there with the new Kid Rock halftime show. And I see the kid rocks. While Kid Rock's getting older, his wardrobe has not changed. So Kid Rock says Bad Bunny's gonna be singing in Spanish, wearing a dress and doing a dance party on national tv. Cool. We'll be doing an all American halftime show for Americans who love America. All right. With real music is what he said. All right. Okay. His words, not mine. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Kid Rock there. I wonder what Craig Ferguson would have to say about that. Craig won't talk about politics. You know what? It's probably best when you get one of those syndicated talk shows, board game type thingies that you don't. Yeah, yeah. You just shut your neutral. Yeah. Game show. Yeah. Everyone's going to be watching what you say and all that other stuff. So Astrid and I had an opportunity to leave the house after the non event. Yeah, it looked a little dicey there for a couple of hours.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It did.

[Brian Green]

We managed to get out there. Noemi came and watched the kids. So we had. We had an opportunity to get out of the house. So we went to a party, a birthday party. That was lovely. Ever it was just lovely. It was catered.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Sounds like so much fun.

[Brian Green]

DJ and 70, 60, 70 people there in a lovely home. And everyone was just having a good time. Lots of Astro co workers, lots of some people that we knew, but lots of people that we didn't, we got to meet. And they were lovely. It's just. It was a good party.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

They put a good party.

[Brian Green]

Good party. Everyone was dancing, singing. They had karaoke. And people were getting into it. Yeah, they had a good dj was doing karaoke. It was good. Like, he'd intermix the karaoke with songs, you know, Everyone was having a good time, drinking. The bar was open, bartender catered, lovely food, everything. So we were there, I don't know, five, six hours, maybe seven hours. We were there for a long time, but we had to get back at some point because, you know, Amy can't watch the kids forever. Although I sometimes I wish she would. So we go and we leave the house. We are in a. I would say an upscale neighborhood in Atlanta. Not the. Not the nicest. Like, not the Buckhead billionaire houses, but a nice neighbor.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Of course.

[Brian Green]

A neighbor's been around for a long time. Got nice houses. You know, Bob's got a nice house. Let's put it that way. I love Bob. Got a beautiful house. You won't even know where that's from, but someday I'll tell you. And we leave down these residential streets. So we go up, we take a right, do the thing, and we're driving by, and we're driving down this street to get out of the neighborhood. And I hear. And I thought, oh, did I just cut somebody off or something on the stop sign? And I look behind me, and I don't see anybody. So I'm like, okay, well, I didn't hit anybody. You know, I didn't almost hit anybody. I don't know why somebody was honking at me, but I kept going. And Astrid goes, I think there's a car in the tree. And I go, what? And she goes, I think there was a car in a tree. And I go, a car in the tree? Babe, what are you talking about? And Astrid had a few drinks, so I was like, oh, she must be hammered. Car in the tree. And I go, did you really? And she goes, no, seriously, that honking noise. Like, I think that there was a car, like, in a tree or up somewhere off the road. And I go, seriously? Yes. Okay. So now we're, like, you know, football fields away from where this happened. I pull in the driveway, I turn around, and now as I'm pulling back up this hill, I can see that there is a car off the road in somebody's. Like, the house is up on a hill. And I can see that the car is up the hill.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, geez.

[Brian Green]

With the lights on inside and the headlights on and the lights are on in the car. And so I pull and I maneuver my car where I can put my Brights on to see what's going on. Now you come up upon this after midnight in Atlanta. You gotta be careful. You never know what's going on inside of a car. You know, somebody just crashed. But what it. What I could see was somebody had clearly crashed.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

They had run into a tree, and then they had hit, like, a decorative rock, like a. Oh, right. Landscaping. Not a small1. Like 13 times the size of this table that's just sitting there.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

The boulder.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. People in Atlanta, they decorate their landscape with rocks. I don't get it, but my dad did it too, but I don't know. But it had hit the rock, so I can see what's going on. And I'm like, oh. And the horn is just going. There's no beep, beep.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It's just laying on the horn as.

[Brian Green]

If someone's head had hit the horn and was just staying there. So now I'm all kerfuffled. I don't know what to do. Right. But the first thing I know to do is let's call 91 1. Let's get some police officers out here. Because they have ammunition. Right. And I don't. But.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, there needs to be some kind of investigation done.

[Brian Green]

Yes. So I call 911 on the speakerphone in the car. And we're trying to, you know, we're telling them where it is and what's going on and all this other stuff. And the officer or the person on the phone goes, is anybody injured in the accident? And I said, I don't know. I can't see anybody in the car, but I'm not inside the car. And the officer's like. Or the. The person is like, do you see anybody around the car? And I'm like, I don't see anybody around the car. And then he said, is it safe to check to see if somebody is in the car? And I was like, I really don't know, but I'll go check. And Astrid's freaking out. She's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. And be careful. And I'm like, okay. Okay. Stay on the phone with the. With the dispatch and let me go. So I slowly crept up to that car. Both air bags deployed, iPad in the passenger seat, credit card in the middle, debit card in the middle of the console with a name on it and everything. And the car smashed a bit. Smashed to shit.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

No one's there.

[Brian Green]

And the first thing I know to do in a car accident, if you come up on a car accident, that's Bad enough, especially if it's been hit, the engine is damaged, is that you turn off the car so that it doesn't set on fire, right? If you can safely do that. So I. By the way, both windows are rolled down. It's nine degrees out there. It's freezing fucking cold. So I open the door and I go to pull the keys out. There's no keys in the car. There's no keys in the car. And the car is stuck in drive, right? And I can't. I can't move the. This. The stick shift. So I'm like, well, shit, it doesn't take 15 seconds after I do this, that the first police officer. Okay, good. Now, luckily, I've not been drinking or anything, but, you know, I'm just here to help. Leave me alone. Right? But that's the first thing I thought when I got, oh, is the officer gonna, like, give me, like, the officer gonna give me the rigamaro? Where are you coming from? Huge Venezuelan party, bourbon room.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

They had tequilas from all over the world.

[Brian Green]

They had a bar and a DJ and karaoke dancing girls. So. So then, you know, the officer, he's gotten his flashlight and he's like, what's going on here? And I go, I, you know, I don't know. I just rolled up on it. You know, I heard that. We heard the horn. My wife thought something was going on. We turned around, yada bada, yadda, there we are. Here we are right now. And so he says, okay. So he's looking around the car and he. I go. He goes, well, we'll have to find out whose car this is. And he's like calling in the license plate. And I go, there's actually a credit card and an iPad sitting right there if you want to go ahead and check that out. He goes, there is. I go, yeah. So he takes out the credit card. He's looking at it, he calls it in. Okay, all right. Okay. So we stay there for about another four, three, four minutes tops. And I say, hey, listen, do you need me to give a statement or anything? And he goes, no, you just happened up on it. If you're not part of it, I don't know what you would need to state. I got your phone number in case we do. Okay, great, wonderful. So we leave. All right, so somebody in the neighborhood knew somebody in the neighborhood who knew somebody in the neighborhood who figured out that apparently this was a dude who lives in the neighborhood who is having some, let's call it, familial drama, right? And that Familial drama is putting him under a lot of stress. But the first thing. And that's what. And that's what he told. I guess that's what he told the officers. Right. That's the word of the through the crystal.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Once they found him a few days.

[Brian Green]

Later, once they found him the next day. That's right. Once he's had a chance to sober up.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

And that's what you think about. The first thing when it rolled up is Astrin and I were thinking about this. We must have rolled up on it one minute after it happened because the horn was going. And this is in a residential neighborhood. I don't know. But it wasn't like 4 in the morning, 3:30 in the morning. It was like midnight. Ish. Little past midnight. If I'm living in that neighborhood, I'm thinking to myself, what is that noise? Like, if I'm anywhere close to it, I'm like, who's laying on their horn? Somebody's in trouble. Let's go look at it. Now, there's one of three circumstances where I could think about that, the reason why somebody would have run off from an accident like that. The first and obvious one is, you're drunk.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You're drunk. Yep.

[Brian Green]

The second one is you're an immigrant. Right. Okay. It's 20, 26. Let's not deny that that could be a possibility. You are not legal here in the country, or you even think for any reason that somebody could be looking at you sideways about anything having to do with your immigration status. Or number three, you're doing something illegal like driving a stolen car. Or it's a teenager that has taken their parents car out for a joyride or something. And they live in the neighborhood and they just wanted to get home where they were gonna feel safe, had time to sober up or whatever. And so. But here's the thing. Like, I was in astrosis, what are they gonna do? And I was like, leaving the scene of an accident, I think is about the best they got. Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

If you're drunk, for sure.

[Brian Green]

If you're drunk, you're not. A day later, no one's getting you for dui. They can suspect you get DUI all day long, but if no one saw you driving the car, how do they do that? Even if you said you were driving the car, how are you gonna get a DUI a day later? So that made me think, why don't more people run from accident?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, we had the one when you told me this story, this happened over the holidays, and Jeff and I were. It was like, I don't know, 10 at night.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Jeff and I were in our bedroom, we're watching some tv, and all of a sudden I heard a loud boom. And, you know, I'm in downtown Atlanta.

[Brian Green]

Booms happen.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Booms happen.

[Brian Green]

Booms happen. Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Sometimes people are doing fireworks. I mean, sometimes it's maybe a shot. I don't know. So we were like. That didn't really sound like what we normally would hear, maybe. And so I go out and I look outside of our front door and the house, we're on a corner, and then there's another corner right next to us. And that house, right in front of that house, a car had hit this tree right in front of it. And so I'm like, oh, my God, Jeff, come out here and look, you know, and we're looking at it. We're watching this all unfold. All of a sudden, there was a girl, and she was outside the car and she was crying. And, you know, there was like a neighbor that had kind of come out and was kind of trying to help. Well, next thing you know, this guy pulls up in a pickup truck, pulls up, grabs her. They grab her purse, they take off.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

And so we were like, what?

[Brian Green]

What?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

And ended up talking to a couple of neighbors. Yes, she was drunk. She was coming home from a party, I guess, kind of lost control and hit the car. She was okay.

[Brian Green]

But.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, they were trying to get a tow truck out to come get the car before the police got there. The police got there first.

[Brian Green]

The police got there first. They give her a dui?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

No, she left the scene.

[Brian Green]

She left the scene. What can you do? Yeah, you get to see.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

So they got. The tow truck did come out, but the police had already made. And we were talking to somebody and they said that. Back to your point of why more people don't do that, I guess, like, insurance, I think, won't cover anything to do with your car.

[Brian Green]

Not if you leave the scene of an accident. Yeah, but this car was. I don't think you would worry too much about that. It was an older car, like kind of a, you know, junkie car. I don't think you would worry about it. I mean, I've known people. We've. We've known people who have run from scenes of accidents because they are drunk. One car accidents, just to be clear about that, like, not involving anybody else, but, you know, hit a median or whatever, and then, you know, I'm out of here. See you later. Yeah. I mean it. Listen. Yeah, you Got to do what you got to do. I guess sometimes, you know, no one wants a dui. And. Yeah, maybe it is just dumb just to stand around. Maybe just.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Take off.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Why am I gonna wait to go to jail? Let's get out of here. I'll deal with it in the morning. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. Thank God I wasn't that idiot too much, but, you know.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, so you were saying now, though, it's been circulated throughout the homeowners, so.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Well, that's the. That's the embarrassing part, is that when you leave your car on a rock in someone's front yard, it's hard to get away from that drama.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Right. I mean, that's what you gotta deal with. But. But I guess it's still better than going to jail. And. But, you know, I feel bad. Anybody that's in that type of situation, it's just a shitty, shitty situation. When I was a teenager, I was dating a girl. Like, dating. You know, loosely. They go to the movies kind of dating. Right. And I think I was like. It was. I had. I was at my first job. I was working at McDonald's. I was probably 14 years old. I was dating some girl. We'd see each other on the weekends and make out, you know, under the shirt. Over the shirt kind of thing.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Second base. Right. Right. And one night I got a phone call from the girl that I was dating, and she was crying. They were at the hospital because my. The. The. The guy who was driving a car with two girls in the background and a. A. Two girls in the back seat and a girl sitting next to him that he was dating. They were. He was known to drive fast. Like he was one of these guys. Like, you know, he had the stick shift and Night trailer. Yeah. Spoiler. The whole nine yards. Right. And he had like a Celica. Right. Would go really fast, or at least we felt like it would go.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

He's just that guy. He thought he was a race car driver and he's a teenager, and he had no sense of timing or direct. I mean, he's just like. It's completely, you know, dumb that he would do. And he was riding down a really curvy street here in Atlanta, and the girl that he was dating wanted him to slow down and grabbed his hand while he was driving. And when she grabbed his hand, he yanked the wheel. She yanked the wheel. He yanked the wheel. Whatever. Grabbed his hand, wheel yanked, and they went flying off an embankment into a cement mailbox, into a, like a brick mailbox. And the car was in no shape. I mean, it was just completely in. In tatters. And everyone walked away from it. I think some people got stitches. I think there was a broken bone here or there, I can't remember. But. But the first instinct of the girls in the backseat was to run. They started to run. And the kid who got in, the kid who was driving was like, why are you running? And like, my mom's gonna kill me. And it's like, you don't run because your mom's gonna kill you. Your mom is gonna be okay. Your mom wants you to be okay. Wait for the fucking ambulance to show up and then, you know, everyone will figure it out. I mean, that's like. I get the instinct to run, but you gotta stay. You definitely have to stay. And listen, I. I remember one time I got in a hit and run accident. Someone hit me and then they just took off. They took the off. And I know why they took off. They didn't have insurance. They were drunk, whatever. You know, they had problems that they didn't want to catch up. Luckily, the damage wasn't that bad. And my. You know, I haven't. I have uninsured motorists, so all that stuff. But I know for a fact if you leave the scene, your insurance company is out. They say, see you later, skater.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You're on your own.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, we just got a free pass to charge you more on your insurance. And we don't have to pay for anything. So stop being such a shithead and stay around next time. It's just one of those things. All right, let's take another break. And when we get back, I. I have. I have some more stuff to talk to you about. You're going to be really excited. I don't know what it is, but I'll figure it out over the break. All right, we'll be back.

[Frankie B]

[Brian Green]

Oh, I'm watching a video here that. Is this true?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I don't know. You never know with videos now.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you never know with videos. That is true. The work has begun. It appears that the Venezuelan Embassy is. The US Embassy in Venezuela is being opened back up as we speak. So good news. That's good news for Venezuelans because then they can get visas and do the work they need to do down there and that that embassy has been closed for a long time, so. So that's good news. It's good news for family and friends that want to, you know, travel places and do things. You know, Venezuela's. Venezuela's looking better than, you know, states in some ways. It's crazy. I'm reading about Savannah Guthrie's.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, Mom.

[Brian Green]

Mom, what the.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, they think. Now that I was reading earlier, they think she was maybe abducted.

[Brian Green]

Who abducts an 80 something year old woman.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I mean, I guess Savannah is a famous person. I don't know. Maybe for.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, but Savannah Guthrie is not exactly the lightning bolt of controversy that you think she is, is she?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Green]

I don't know.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Maybe it's for ransom or something. I don't know.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. We'll see. I hope that everything's pulling out of.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

The Olympics because I.

[Brian Green]

Would you. Yeah, yeah. How are you going to concentrate on the Olympics and it's the Winter Olympics. It was a summer Olympics. Maybe I, you know, maybe I think about it. But it's the Winter Olympics and you know, you, you, you, you don't want your mom out there without a like missing cold case missing while you're trying to, you know, ham it up with some downhill skier. You know what I'm saying? That would be really tough to do. Of course, I can totally understand where she's coming from. I would. Absolutely.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

That's a bizarre story, though. I. I don't know what happened.

[Brian Green]

It is.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I guess we'll find out.

[Brian Green]

The good news. The good news for Savannah is she is a famous person. So it's getting a lot of attention.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

So hopefully, you know, maybe someone took her and didn't know who she was. Like, you know, oh, maybe I should let this lady go. But you know, with each passing hour, it. Things don't look good. Which reminds me of a very strange story that I don't think has gotten enough news attention, but I've seen it on social media here and there. 14 year old girl in New Jersey.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Supposedly walks out of her house onto her driveway to make phone calls and text or whatever. Just takes a walk, stroll outside in the neighborhood where she lives. Her dad is a very big burly tattooed, like on his. He's bald guy with a big beard tattooed on his face and his head. That's neither here nor there, but I'm giving you a visual representation. And this dude is huge. 6263-250-1250. He's a big fucking boy. Big strapping guy, right? She disappears from her driveway. She never comes back in the house. And dad freaks out, mom freaks out. Apparently. I think they're separated, but they all. Everyone freaks out. And dad goes full taken and starts papering every neighboring town, making social media videos that get spread around the Internet like wildfire about his daughter. His daughter's missing. This is my baby. I need her back. You know, $25,000. You just let me know, you know, drop her off here, call me. No police involved, whatever. Like real Fucking movie type shit. And guess what? Someone calls him about three weeks. Two, three weeks after she disappears, someone calls him and says, I think I saw your daughter near a boat in Islip.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, Islip, New York.

[Brian Green]

I slip. New York or wherever, Jersey. I think I saw her boarding a boat in Islip, right? Islip, however you say it. And I'm really scared because I know who owns the boat. I know the people that are involved, and they're not. And it's not good news, right? If this is your daughter. And he says, okay, I'm getting a lot of tips. How do I know this is real? And she says, well, if I see her again, I'll take a picture. He says, well, she's got a tattoo. Take a picture. If you can get a picture of the tattoo, I'll know it's her for sure, right? So day later, he gets the picture of the tattoo and he's on his way. And he still doesn't believe that this is his daughter. He still. He doesn't want to get his hopes up, right? But he shows up in the middle of the night at this boatyard at this dock. And the boat is wet, slipped, it's sitting in the water. It's like a houseboat type thing. And he goes, he doesn't know if anybody's on the boat. All the drapes are closed, Lights are on, drapes are closed. He doesn't hear anything. He doesn't know if anybody's on the boat. And the lady who knows who owns this boat, the people that he. He's been communicating with, he's been communicating with, she could knock on the door and see if this dude is home or these people are home or whatever. But she backs out last minute. She gets scared. She don't want anything to do with it. So he decides to go full. Full taken and storm the boat himself. Storms the boat, and guess what? His daughter is there.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

What?

[Brian Green]

And he finds his daughter and he brings her home. Crazy story. Insane story. Hours later, the boatyard is stormed and the police arrest the owner of the boat.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Okay?

[Brian Green]

A guy who is apparently connected to some real bad, right, you know, older white guy who's had some. Some stuff on his record. Some bad. Let's just put it that way, right? And I just started following this story about four or five days ago. This story is from September of last year. I couldn't believe it didn't get more attention. But it is an amazing story. But then you think about the story, like, think it all the way through, and you go, it's so amazing. It's so amazing that this guy just randomly got a phone call from a random lady that. Yeah, it's too. Almost too good to be true. Now, I don't know if it is or if it isn't. All I know is what's being told through media. But there are a lot of people who know the family, who know this guy, the father, who are saying something doesn't add up here, right? Maybe not a setup, but maybe the dad was involved with some people who. Or maybe the daughter was not the. And this is a 14 year old girl. How in the world could she possibly have. She's not fully formed yet, right? Her brain is not fully developed. But that the daughter may have not necessarily been taken.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

She may have went with.

[Brian Green]

She may have went with somebody and this all kind of blew up into this whole drama thing that maybe it was still dramatic, but it wasn't this kind of drama. This is a fascinating story and I cannot believe that this is not like national news because how often do you have someone go missing and then the dad literally storms a boat to pull the daughter to safety? Like, this is a. This is a crazy story and I think it deserves some media attention and maybe a little bit of scrutiny to see what's really going on. I mean, you know, just so we can all have some knowledge about. How did you find her? How did this all go down? What worked? What didn't?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, just by talking about it on this platform, I think you've elevated it to national stuff.

[Brian Green]

Three people that are listening to this show will now be ready to pounce on. But I mean, you know, there's children go missing every fucking day. It's a nightmare that any parent will never get out of their heads because that is like the ultimate. Oh, shit, what do you do, right? This guy figured it out. He did it. Whatever it was. He did, he did. And he got his daughter back. So I hope that people shed some light on this story so that other people can hear about it and other parents who may be suffering the same fate or who may suffer the same fate can take action like this guy did. Listen, I would go to the ends of the earth, of course, I would drop everything for however long.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh my God.

[Brian Green]

Until I got the conclusion. Until I got to the end of the fucking rainbow. That's it.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

God, that's like. That reminds me of the Elizabeth Smart. You know that story? She. They just came out with a new documentary with her on Netflix. Yeah, she's recounting all that. I started to watch it. And then I kind of had to pull away. But taken in the middle of the night.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

And then recovered later.

[Brian Green]

Years later. Years later. Like, like what, three years later or something. She lived with some dudes and some homeless people in the woods for a long time. It's bad. Or the JonBenet Ramsey case that has never been solved. I mean, that is literally the definition of insanity. Some people think that Je is involved in that. I'm not going to say his name on this podcast. There's like a whole weird web there that I don't think everything is connected to Je Just that's my own personal opinion. He's a boogeyman, no doubt about it. But I don't think we can connect every bad thing that ever happened to him. And I think people want to solve things that are terrible and bad by putting other. By putting someone who's terrible. Yeah. You want an explanation? The JonBenet Ramsey case really affected me when I was, of course, in my late teens, early 20s.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Talk about national news. Geez.

[Brian Green]

She. I saw Patsy Ramsey on. And, and the father.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

I saw them on multiple occasions on the restaurants. I wouldn't serve them. I refused to serve them. But I might have been wrong. I don't know. It's hard to tell. But, you know, I, I don't know. Now, as a parent, I think maybe Patsy Ramsey was just grieving. Grieving. I think she might have just been grieving. But when she was on tv, it looked. She was, you know.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, they just came out with that other. This, I think we did.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, the father did the whole documentary. Yeah, it was a. Yeah, it was, it was fascinating. And, And I believe him. I, I, I believe him. I watched the documentary. I want to believe him. Him. I want to believe him. He seems like he's being sincere. It's a terrible case. There was so much scrutiny and pressure. They really, I think, found the guy, but they just couldn't loop him. Like, they just couldn't.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Get that last piece of evidence they needed to keep him in jail. But you know that the, the family has suffered and, and they suffered at the hands of people like me, too, who refused to serve them at a restaurant because I made judgments about what was going on when I had no fucking clue what was going on. But you got to remember this was an international news story, and the press really hounded those parents because they assumed that they did it or had something to do with it. So. But, you know, maybe, maybe not. I don't know.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, I'm glad the girl was found.

[Brian Green]

In your story, she was found, and apparently she's safe and sound. And people who do know them say that she is doing okay. And the father refuses to talk about exactly what happened. He says that's not. That's not for public, you know, consumption. And you know what? Fair enough. She's 14. She needs to go ahead and live her life if she can, you know, in somewhat of a normal way. So. All right, there you go.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Have you watched the Pit?

[Brian Green]

No.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

I haven't watched the Pit, but I'm watching the Night Manager.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I saw that pop up.

[Brian Green]

Is it good? I like it.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

It's not great, but I like it. It's not great. It's another one of those, like, the first seven episodes. Season one was really good. I thought. I thought it was really good. It had its. It had its problems, but it was really good. But season two is another one of these, you know, Jack Ryan, every bullet misses everybody kind of thing. And I'm like, ah, you know, they're, you know, they're dropping style. They're dropping, you know, advanced, advanced weaponry from helicopters in the middle of the jungle. And it's just cross, double cross, triple cross, quadruple cross. It's like, okay, come on. It's almost like they have superhero abilities without being superheroes. You know what I'm saying?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. It's a little too far.

[Brian Green]

That's right. Okay, so this is what we're gonna do. We'll be back on Thursday.

I was surprised he told me that tidbit about the trains.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. He told you it was going to be called cold?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, I knew that, but he said even on the train.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You know, we noticed that in France, too. Is that the trains can't. Depending on what part of the train you're in.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Can be cold if you're in the nice part of the train, it's perfectly level.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]
