Brian
You can't just have one kid. Every only child I've ever known is weird. They're weird. I'll take a weirdo. I'll take a little weirdo. Give me a little weirdo instead. I got three kids that somehow all have the exact same villain origin story. Oh, you can't have one kid. They're not gonna have anybody to play with. They don't play together. They don't play together. They don't even like each other. They're enemies. The closest they come to playing together is body slamming each other on the nugget sofas. Okay, It's a fight club in here. Just have one and know some peace in your life.
On this episode of the commercial break.
Chrissy

Chrissy
Oh, yeah.
Brian
Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break.
Chrissy
I'm Brian Green.
Brian
This is the fans of my walls, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best of you, Chris. I made you the nicer one. Yeah. As we're recording the VP Deb last night, I. I'm over it. I'm officially over all of it.
Joy
I know.
Brian
Get me to the voting booth. Let me do my duty as an American citizen and let's. And let world War III begin.
Chrissy
Oh, hey.
Brian
And let world war III begin.
Chrissy
That's it.
Brian
That's all I gotta say.
Joy
I know. I'm so over Ted. Text to do that.
Brian
Last night I was like, what a nightmare all around us. Just a nightmare. I mean, it really is pretty. It's a tense time for the entire world. Thank God you got the commercial break because quite frankly, we can't talk about serious stuff because we will get all the facts wrong. I'll become a disinformation machine immediately. And I don't want to do that. It's turned on TCB minus, which is going to be the name of our tour when we get back on the. Let's say back on the road when we actually get on the road.
Joy
Right.
Chrissy
Oh, lord.
Brian
We are here in the TCB studios for you. This may be a couple days later because we're about to take a whole shitload of time off. But we'll keep the fresh episodes coming.
Chrissy
As long as we can. I guess as long as we can.
Brian
There might be a Few Best of Us in there. And, you know, listen, I know it's not your favorite to hear a rerun, but for some people, that might be the first time they ever hear it.
Joy
Exactly.
Brian
Because they might be new to the show, wondering what all the kerfuffle is about. So just bear with us through the month of October. We'll all get through it together, I promise. Chrissy's gonna go down and do Mempho. So I actually think this is gonna. This will be airing, I think, the day before or the day that Mempho starts on Friday.
Joy
Yes.
Brian
Okay. So this will air the day of Mempho. So there you go. If you're in the Memphis area or you want to travel to the Memphis area, if you're close, then go ahead and get your tickets@memphofest.com Great lineup. Jack White. And Jack White is also. I'm sorry, I forgot. Yeah.
Announcer
The Roots.
Brian
Wow.
Joy
Trey, Anastasia, Goose.
Brian
Okay. I imagine a Goose and Trey, some stage time together is possible.
Joy
They're playing on different nights.
Brian
I still say that's possible.
Joy
Yes, it could definitely.
Brian
I think it's happened once before, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I think I saw that on somewhere on the Fish page or something like that. I follow the Fish page, although, you know, I find some. Some of it. I love Fish. I think Fish is a great band. I really do. I love them. And I've been to a lot. A lot of live shows, but when I turned, like, 40, I was like.
Chrissy
Well, I don't know that heroin and.
Brian
Balloons are my thing anymore.
Joy
Plus, you got 30 kids.
Brian
Plus I have 30 children. That's right. I started having 30 children right about when I turned 40. But anyway, so there you go. Mempho Fest.com.
Joy
It'S starting today, which. God damn.
Brian
Let's go to the parade of terribles that's going on right now.
Joy
First of all, last weekend. Yeah, this. Well, I guess it would be two weekends before now.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian
Two weekends before now.
Joy
Yeah.
Brian
We haven't talked about it.
Joy
Horrible storm. Horrible storm. People up in the Asheville area and the Carolinas really got it.
Brian
It is unfolding. I think, in real time for everybody. That North Carolina is a complete disaster zone. The entire state, eastern Tennessee, northern South Carolina. I have family that live there in, like, that Clemson area. Yeah, they avoided the worst of it, but it still was not great. Greenville got hit. Augusta, Georgia got hit. Anywhere south and east of I75.
Joy
If you know, it was just a huge storm. It went so much area.
Brian
It was just a haymaker That's. That's what it was. And now people are missing and people are dead and livelihoods are gone and complete towns are washed out. Asheville may never be the same again. And I like Asheville, Astrid. And I's very first. I say our second date was in Asheville, and I love it. It's. It's a beautiful town. I spent a lot of time in eastern Tennessee and that Asheville area in the Blue Ridge Mountains and that blue. Riding up and down that Blue Ridge Highway. Yeah. And I'm just so sad about all of it because. And I have so many friends that, that live up there, have lived up there, have friends up there. You know, the whole party in the woods scene. There's a lot of people in. Up in those Blue Ridge Mountains, in Chimney Rock and Asheville and all those areas up there, and it's complete devastation. Actually, you know, this isn't funny at all, but one of our friends on Facebook for days was like, my daughter and her boyfriend, for what reason, I don't understand, because that wasn't told in the story, but let's assume that it was. They were there on an extended stay, were in an Airbnb in Chimney Rock, and they could not get a hold of them for days, making pleas on Facebook and Instagram and people were, you know, call this guy. This person might be able to trek up the hill. This dude is in the area, you know, this girl.
Joy
They haven't had power, cell service, any of that.
Brian
Yeah, none of it. And, and. And so finally a helicopter was. They put like a GoFundMe page together that get a helicopter up there. And somebody here in Atlantis said, I'll fly the helicopter. I'll. I'll. And. And they were found. But that's the, like, the level of devastation is that you can't make a phone call. You don't have any water, you don't have any power. Your house might complete, might be completely gone. I have friends, yeah, I have friends that own a campground. They're gone. Every bit of it is gone. It's a huge campground sitting near a creek, a fucking creek. And everything is gone. Everything. The creek rose to, like, it was like a quarter mile wide at one point. It's insane. And Asheville is one of those places where you think, well, I mean, let's be honest.
Joy
The mountains.
Brian
It's the mountains and it's a bunch of hippies up there, like, trying to save the planet. I mean, and it's just one of those places. You would never think that that kind of devastation would come to. First of all, because the mountains often dissipate any really intense weather like that. And second of all, because the elevation. But that. That was not true. When you get 29 inches of rain in 70 hours, there's nothing you can do. And you're in the mountains with all those creeks and rivers and the water just keeps coming down the mountain, there's nothing you can do. So my heart goes out to all of those folks.
Joy
Absolutely.
Brian
And I just. If there's anything that we can do. I don't even know you probably even hearing this. You're probably gonna have Internet. Well, they have Starlink. Listen, I don't care for Elon Musk. I've made my views clear here. I don't care for him. But I do have to say that that Starlink has become a godsend to a lot of people. And so I. I don't care what his politics are right now. I would say that that is a. That that has been a small ray of sunshine in the Elon Musk story, is that he has done some good in this particular situation by providing free star length to anybody up in that area so that at least they can get a text message to family members or somebody saying, hey, I'm alive, or I need food or come get me, or whatever it is. And so our love goes out to those people who are affected just right up the hill from us. And if there's anything, you can certainly reach out and we'll try our best. Or if you need us to say something or. I don't know, you have some gofundme you want us to announce? We will be happy to do that. So just reach out to us. 212-4333. TCB around and. And then going down the list of terribles Be fucking Diddy. This story keeps on getting more and.
Joy
More terrible as if it were just at the tip of the iceberg.
Brian
Someone is shopping a pornographic video of P. Diddy with a more famous person involved, quote, unquote. A more famous person than P. Diddy. A more famous.
Joy
How I saw that.
Brian
Holy. Whoa. Who not? I'll tell you who not P. Diddy right now. That guy is insane trouble.
Joy
Ah, yeah, he should be. I mean, he should be held accountable for every bit of it.
Zan Perrion
Yeah.
Brian
Oh, yeah. Don't ever get out of jail. I mean, just. It's rot. It. Just go ahead. And if I. If I was him and half of this stuff was true. Yeah. I would honestly go to the government and I say, I'm I want to make my amends. I know I'm never going anywhere. Do me a favor and at least don't put me in solitary confinement for the rest of my life. And I will do what I need to do. I'll pay the victims.
Event Host
I'll.
Brian
I'll spill the beans, whatever. I mean, he's in a tough situation, but he has apparently hurt a lot of people, and now they are coming for their pound of flesh, and that is crazy. Including children. I mean, that's just insane. That is kind of. You know, I don't believe in conspiracy.
Chrissy
Theories, but you hear this shit and you're like, well, you know, I don't know.
Brian
You know about these elites and, you know, these big sex rings and all that. And then you go to yourself, wow, you know, this was. This is big. 120 new accusers supposedly filing lawsuits, 120 in the next couple of days, which is just insane. And now the federal government has at least alluded to the fact that many of these victims who are going to sue P. Diddy are also coming forward to talk to the government. And so he will never get out of jail if half of this stuff is true. I don't think. I mean, unless he's got, like, a really fantastic. This guy needs. Atticus Finch is who he needs, basically, to defend him. I mean, obviously, this is.
Joy
I don't think Atticus Finch would defend him.
Brian
No, no, I don't think so. But you know what I'm saying. Yeah, he needs F. Lee Bailey or somebody like that. Remember F. Lee Bailey? I do. The guy from the O.J. trial. And then what else did he do? Didn't he. Wasn't he part of the. Was he involved in the Manson case? In some ways.
Joy
Shape or form, I think so.
Brian
Didn't he, like, prosecute? Oh, no, that was. Or was that Giuliani? Well, no, Giuliani did the Mob. I think it was that Flea Bailey that at one point prosecuted Manson. And Manson jumped out the back of the court window. Like, he went to go to the.
Chrissy
Bathroom and he jumped out of the court window.
Brian
He's gone for, like, three months. No one could find him.
Chrissy
You didn't know that part of the story? Yeah.
Brian
Which. Oh, no, not Manson. I'm sorry. Ted Bundy.
Chrissy
Ted Bundy, yeah.
Brian
Ted Bundy was at court one time, and he, like, said, can I go to the bathroom? And they were like, sure. And he was such a. They. He. He was like such an apparently nice guy that everyone was like, yeah, no problem. He's like, I'll be right back.
Chrissy
Jumped out the window and fled for like three months.
Joy
Oh my God.
Chrissy
It was insane.
Brian
So, yeah. So this P. Diddy story just keeps on getting curiouser and curiouser and I can't stop reading about it. I'm like, oh my God. And then all these pictures of him with these celebrities look worse and worse. The more that you see it, the more that you look into it, it looks worse and worse. It's like my pool right now and every day I wake up and it looks a little bit more murky.
Chrissy
You know what I'm saying?
Joy
Chrissy, do you put a cover on it?
Brian
No, I can't put a cover on it.
Joy
Yeah, huge.
Brian
Well, it's also very dangerous to put a cover on it. Yeah, it's. It's dangerous. It's huge. And then you just. You open it up to a big problem that then you have to fix because you can keep the pool running even with a cover on it, but it's. You can't put any chemicals in it, you can't clean it. You can't do any of that stuff.
Joy
I don't know the ins and outs of all this.
Brian
So you can close the pool. I think. I think you. I don't know because I'm not really good at this actually. But I believe you just shock the shit out of it and just make the chlorine levels super high for the winter, I believe. And then you try and manage it that back down when you're going swimming. But also the pool's huge. It would take a lot of COVID to cover it. And third of all, it's just dangerous. Like if someone falls in, if a dog. The dog walks on it. And then it's just a whole nightmare. I mean, they have safety.
Joy
Plus. I'm thinking about what you would uncover when you uncovered it.
Brian
Oh my God. A frog pond like it is right now. There were three fucking frights of the. It was fine until the storm came. And the storm here was nothing. It was a spritz. I mean, it rained a lot. And there was some trouble downtown with some, you know, some of the creeks and rivers and stuff like that. But I think for the most part we got out unscathed. People who got flooded here had their house on stilts because it's been flooding there for a long time. I mean, most of them anyway. I don't want to minimize the damage, but you get what I'm saying is that it wasn't necessarily unexpected that those areas would flood because they're in flood plains. We did not get it. Like Asheville got it say that. But after it rained, you know, I had it all fucking fixed. And then after it rained day after day, I would look out there and I'd go, is that. Is it turning? I'm colorblind too.
Chrissy
So I'm like, is that.
Brian
I got a little twinge of.
Chrissy
Is that a little. Is that a little greenish?
Brian
A little murky. And this morning I woke up and it was a straight up frog pond. So two days ago it was green. Like everything was green. Algae all over the side of the walls. And I'm like, what the fuck? What happened? And I go in there and. And Gustavo was here. And I'm out.
Chrissy
Gustavo. Gustavo.
Brian
I go out there and I start, you know, cleaning up some of the leaves and stuff. And then I'm trying to get some of the algae off the side of the walls. And every time that I go down to pick up another pile of leaves off the bottom of the. The pool, another frog jumps out. And I'm like, what the is going on? And I mean, jumps out. I mean, like, jumps off the bottom of the pool and. And is now swimming in the pool. So me and Gustavo and the frogs don't know how to get out of the pool. Once they're in there, they don't know how to get out of the pool. So me and Gustavo are playing frog rescue. Throwing the frogs out, like, you know, trying to like, scoop them up with our hand and throw them out of the pool.
Chrissy
And they just bounce back in. It's a whole thing going on.
Joy
I noticed a bunch.
Brian
I had.
Joy
I saw a huge grasshopper on my fence the other day. And then also too, like just yesterday running around town, there were these grasshoppers all over the place.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian
You know, probably be because they. The storm. Yeah. When the storm comes and it soaks the ground, the ants get, you know, the ants, their mounds get disturbed and roaches fall off the trees. I know. It's like a whole thing. Yeah. When there comes a lot of rain in Chicago, where I used to live, you know, it used to happen when it rained a lot is the earthworms would come out in bundles. I mean, they would just all be like. And it was. If you went after a storm and you went into your, like, backyard, nice green grass, all you see is just earthworms crawling out of it. It was kind of creepy. Yeah. I never, like. I love the rain, but I never wanted to go in my grass right after a storm because the earthworms creep me out. And then Forget about it. My grandpa took me fishing. The one time my grandpa took me fishing. I'm like, I'm not touching that shit.
Chrissy
Don't get that shit away from me. Stop being a big baby.
Brian
I was in World War II. So I just, I don't, just don't know what to do with that pool anymore. I called professional help, you know, but of course it's $10,000 to clean your pool when it's that. When it looks like that is $10,000. So I'm talking to the pool guy, the Bubba from the pool company, Bubba's Cool Pool company. Cuz they're also all very busy. So I had to call 30 different pool companies until someone called me back. And the guy calls me this morning, he's like, yeah, I'll be out there tomorrow. So you sent me a couple pictures of your pool, man, that pool's out of whack. And I go, yes, it is. And he goes, how long did it take you get that green? And I go well, about a week.
Chrissy
About a week.
Brian
And I said a week?
Chrissy
And he goes, a week? And I go, a week?
Brian
And he goes, man, you've been, you've been messing with those chemicals in ways I don't understand.
Joy
If it got green, all your hard work of going works thousands of dollars worth thousand dollars. And back your back issues.
Brian
Jesus Christ. Back issues. The calcium running through my brain. So I'm like, so I'm like, yeah, but you can help me, right? And he's like, well, I'm going to tell you something. And I know this is true because I've heard other pool companies say it to me. He goes, well, I'm going to tell you something now, brother. I, I do great job cleaning the pool. I come out every week and I, I, I'd be happy to do that, but you need a green to clean service, which I do, but it's very expensive. This would be about $400 every time I come out. Could take me four times to get it right. And I was like, four, four. Sixteen hundred dollars to clean my pool, to make the water clear. I've already spent $4,000 on chemicals it's not doing. And he's like, that's the problem is you gotta, you gotta, you tickle it.
Chrissy
A little this way, tickle his balls this way, and then tickle its balls that way.
Brian
And then rub the shaft a little.
Chrissy
Bit and get it to jizz.
Brian
And I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, 104. He goes, I take that pool water up to the pool place, get them to test it. And then what you need to do is get some green to clean. It's about $58 a bottle. Get you about 10 bottles of that. And then you need about. He got this is what he said. You need about 40 pounds of shock. And I'm like, 40 pounds of shock? No, I put 40 pounds of salt in there. Well, I know I put 200,000 pounds.
Chrissy
Of salt in there. So many bags of salt.
Brian
So I'm like, really? And he's like, yeah, just go there. They'll tell you how to use it and everything. And you got the whole thing, and you got to do it. He goes, but you're going to save yourself probably about 7, $800 on me. He goes, because I'm just going to do the same thing. And I was like, okay, all right. Well, I appreciate you being honest at this point.
Joy
Are you just like it? I'll deal with it.
Brian
Honestly. Yeah, honestly, with all the drama that's going on. But I can't stand. I'm just too OCD to look out there and see that green pool. I got the pool and my. Like, you open these two big, huge windows in my bedroom, and all you can see is that green pool with the frog swimming in it. And I swear to God, they're swimming in it. It's like a field day for them. They love it. It's Perfect. It's perfect pH balance for the frogs. They're eating the algae off the walls and having a field day. So I go. I go up to the pool place again, you know, and they're looking at me like, dude, you've been in here like six times with your pool water, trying to get this right. And I'm like, it just. I don't know what's going on. So this guy.
Joy
Well, the storm, too.
Brian
Yeah.
Joy
Because you said your pool was overflowing.
Brian
It was overflowing. And it was overflowing for hours. And that, you know, you can put all the salt you want in a pool. If you keep on refreshing it with fresh water, it's going to get.
Joy
Exactly.
Brian
And then you put leaves in it. And that's, you know, organic matter. So it's just like having people swim in it. That's also organic matter. That's why you have to put chlorine in it occasionally to get the organic matter to die. Skin cells and hair and all that other stuff. Anywho.
Chrissy
So I say I go, hey, listen.
Brian
To get your children to die, you.
Chrissy
Got to throw a bunch of chemicals in there. So anyway, I say, hey, here's my pool water.
Brian
Guy goes, all right, well, it says the same thing. You need green to clean. And a bunch of shock. Like a box of shock. 12 bags. And I'm like, okay, all right, just what's the damage, doc?
Chrissy
And he's like, about 460.
Brian
Okay, all right, whatever. Let's just get this. I don't have 460. I'm putting on discovered card is going to cut me off pretty soon. So I'm like, okay, let me just swipe it there. I'm. No, I have a Discover card. I probably owe $70,000 and it's. I only buy stuff at the pool store. The Discover card. At least I'm getting cash back. Thanks.
Joy
Exactly.
Brian
So I guess I get all this green to clean stuff and I'm out there with the broom dusting up all the algae. Chrissy, that pool is a hot fudgeing mess. And if this doesn't work, if this doesn't work, I am going to pay the guy the $1600. I don't know. We're going to have to do 16 episodes fucking additional episodes of this show. Yeah, but to pay for it. But I swear to God, because I.
Chrissy
Can'T deal with it anymore. I don't know what I did.
Brian
I don't know what happened. Maybe some of the pool equipment's broken or something. Maybe that's the part that thought about.
Joy
God, you're going to drive yourself crazy.
Brian
Oh, well, I'm just going to let Bubba deal with it. I'm just gonna be like, Bubba.
Joy
I think that's probably.
Brian
I don't care what it costs anymore. I don't give a. I'm one guys that when I'm in over my head, I like to pay people to fix the problem. Do you know what I'm saying? I'm not one of those trying to fix it myself. I'm not that smart. Go to the professional. Yeah, I quit taxes. Right?
Chrissy
Don't. But don't.
Brian
Get the guy who's half retired and 79 years old. Get the people who are actively involved in actually doing tax.
Chrissy
A little lesson from Chrissy and Brian.
Brian
To you out there.
Joy
Psa.
Brian
A little PSA for you. Speaking of psa, I have. So since we're going to take some time off, I found a video. Remember Zaun? The guy, Zaun, the. The pois that we did. Who? He was like the most depressing in.
Joy
Turkey or something or. Where was he?
Brian
He was in Switzerland or Sweden or Amsterdam or something.
Joy
And he had it was like Algeria or.
Brian
Oh yeah, maybe it was maybe Turkmenistan or something for Uzbekistan, one of those countries over there. He was living there. And Romania. Romania, yeah. Yes. He had a whole apartment full of books that he never sold. He was going to give them away for free. He's like, worst mistake I ever made. Spent 10 years writing this book and didn't sell one copy. Anyway, Zaun actually has given a more recent, had a more recent appearance at the 21 Convention, which we just love because the mining content there is like easy. Just pick any video and go through it. So our ridiculous, our favorite Zaun is back and we'll go through it. But I think this might be a good one and maybe this is a multi episode one for, for you and the folks out for you, the one listening and the other folks in your car listening people in your office or at your warehouse.
Joy
Thank you, listener.
Brian
Yeah, thank you listener. And we'll go through it and we'll see how everything goes. But maybe we'll, we'll go all the way through his little presentation, see what he's got to say about his brand new book, 10 Ways to Be an Alpha Male.
Joy
I wonder if he like did it all, researched it during the pandemic.
Chrissy
Oh yeah.
Brian
Well, I mean, he's such a great author. His last book did such huge numbers. Why not? All right, we'll be back.

Just like that guy on my Facebook calls his the tour when he goes to the open mic nights. So there you go. All right. Zahn is at the 21 conference. I think this is about a year ago. The last 21 conference there has been. Because of course they didn't continue in 2020 though.
Joy
There was a shakeup.
Brian
There's a big shakeup. Big financial trouble over at 21 Conference.
Joy
Yeah, the. The leader.
Brian
Yeah. Apparently the Motel 6 that they were doing it at was owed some money and they couldn't get it going again. So there you go. But here's the. The Premier Men's Conference 21 Convention. And here's our old buddy Zaun. He's going to give a presentation. We'll listen through it.
Joy
Conference of the century.
Event Host
Welcome back to the 21 Convention. 2022 of Orlando, Florida, celebrating 16 years of 21 Studios and the 21 Convention.
Brian
Oh, it says 2022, but then the video says 2023. So I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
Event Host
Live events being held at 21 Summit, Super Duper Triple event and our next.
Brian
Super Duper triple event.
Joy
I think that's the leader. The guy that's talking right now. Is it the guy that sank the.
Brian
Whole, that sank the whole men's conference business in Central Florida?
Zan Perrion
Yeah.
Event Host
Speaker is actually an alumni returning speaker to the 21 convention. First speaking in 2007.
Brian
I mean he's. If you're not. If, if the, the, you know, elite alumni of the 21 Convention is Zaun, the guy who couldn't sell any books. You're really scraping the bottom, struggling. Yeah.
Event Host
Scene at our event in Miami, Florida and again at our 10 year anniversary in 2017. He's a returning speaker from those events. He's also the founder and the of ours, Amarata and the.
Brian
Well, this guy, which in Romania is just a huge hit with all the. One time we did that mail order brides.
Joy
Oh yeah. I was thinking about that thing for days after we listen.
Brian
We got so many people that contacted us, including my father. My father listened to that episode. He was like, oh, does that really happen? I said, yeah, I think a couple of your sons could use.
Event Host
Through the alabaster girl. I think above and beyond that though, he is a legend in the manosphere. He's a godfather of the manosphere. More specifically.
Brian
Come on. Zahn's a godfather of a manosphere. Which manosphere is he godfather of? I don't see any fiefdom. Okay, I'll let it go by the way I do.
Chrissy
Let me.
Brian
Let me go off on this for a minute. I started watching that Aaron Hernandez. Remember Aaron Hernandez?
Joy
I do, and I've almost. I've almost watched that a couple times, but.
Brian
Get on it.
Joy
Get on it. Okay.
Brian
It's another cheesy, campy, you know, retelling of events, but there's 10 episodes. They've only released four of the episodes, and I haven't watched the fourth one yet because it just came out this morning. But I do have to say I'm. I'm invested in this story now, and Aaron Hernandez was apparently closeted, and that may have led to his. To some of his troubles. And, you know, I got. Yeah, P. P. Diddy and Aaron Hernandez. You just be who you are. Everything would have turned out okay.
Event Host
Godfather of the seduction community that you guys probably have heard about through all the fame and the media.
Brian
Dude, this guy has Zahn coming up, has the greasiest hair. I mean, listen, I don't care what you look like, and I don't want to make fun of your looks, but if he's the godfather of the seduction community, then you don't have much to hang your hat on, because it's like Zaun Mystery, that guy who's now the head of Trump Bitcoin University or whatever.
Chrissy
And fucking Adam the Liar Lions.
Brian
Really?
Zan Perrion
Yeah.
Event Host
Picked up over many decades. There's a true godfather of that.
Brian
He's old school.
Event Host
I mean, this guy's been around even longer than me, and I found it in 2005 when I was still very young.
Brian
I grew up. Wow, this guy's a ball of excitement, isn't he? It's hard to believe that this conference went belly up.
Chrissy
That guy's got big dick energy.
Event Host
Watching this guy. Very inspired by him when I was very young, as a teenager. So I'm very proud to have him not only at our events, but back at them again for his third time. So without further ado, please let me welcome Zan Perrion to the stage.
Zan Perrion
Okay.
Brian
Okay. All right. Now let me get into it, because I've got other things.
Joy
Why do they have those flags?
Brian
Yeah, they have. You know why they have those flags? Don't ask that.
Joy
That is the one of the. Is that that one on the right? Is that the.
Brian
This is the state of Florida flag. Yeah. Flying the Ron DeSantis flag for all people to see. And right next to the American flag and the MAGA hat.
Zan Perrion
We go get my water.
Brian
Yeah, I remember this guy likes to drink a lot of water. So we get into it.
Zan Perrion
I have no PowerPoint for you guys.
Joy
Does that have no PowerPoint?
Brian
Yeah. Well, that's exciting. Thanks.
Chrissy
Thanks for already making me go to sleep.
Brian
My parathyroid is now shutting down for the rest of the afternoon.
Zan Perrion
I don't even have a speech. Oh.
Chrissy
Oh, well, great. Yes. It's jumping with no parachute.
Brian
I like his style. Well, of course, there's nobody in the audience anyway.
Chrissy
Did you hear how many people were clapping? Do you prepare for this? I wouldn't. I just feel like, listen, I've been to a lot of podcast conferences and I know what kind of crowd is.
Brian
Going to show up. And after a while, you just stop worrying about it. You're like, well, I know what I know and I'll say some things and people will go, oh, wow, exciting.
Chrissy
Here's my advice to all new podcasters. Just press record. I'm so inspired by what you said. Yeah, I was inspired by that too, at first. Now I'm inspired by cold hard cash.
Zan Perrion
I've been talking for 20 years on stage, as Anthony was saying, for 20 years around the world, and. And I just. I thought, what am I going to talk about here? It's been a couple years, because coronavirus, that I did talk, but it's like I have nothing that I have to earnestly say to you. You're gonna. You're gonna like this. So I'm just gonna.
Brian
This is the exact same thing he said at his last 2017 conference. Besides the coronavirus thing. He said, I. I'm not. No speech prepared.
Zan Perrion
Riff on a few things I think I'm thinking about and I'm curious about.
Joy
Oh, please.
Zan Perrion
Riff that I love.
Brian
He looks like an overweight Jack White. Jack White forgot to go to the orthodontist.
Chrissy
You know what I'm saying?
Zan Perrion
And interesting. Like Anthony was saying that I've been doing this for a long time, 20 years. And there's something changing in me after all these years. A new phase, I guess.
Chrissy
A new flower.
Brian
I'm 58 years old, blooming in my genitalia. 58 years old. Doesn't work like it used to. What's up?
Chrissy
About the bolo tie?
Joy
So that's it. That is a bowler. I thought it was a necklace, but it is a bolo.
Brian
It's a bolong low. Yeah, it's hung low, I gotta say. A couple weeks ago, my. My youngest, the youngest of the brood, Patrick, my brother, texted me and it was like, I don't know, 8:30 on a Saturday night or something. And he says, hey, Brian, whatever. Do you remember your bolo phase?
Chrissy
And I was like, what the are you talking about? And he goes from, like, fourth grade to, like, ninth grade. You were into bolos. Do you remember that?
Brian
And I was like, I do remember that. Actually, I think it was more like third grade, so 12th grade.
Chrissy
But yes, I remember, like, your bolo.
Brian
And he's like, do you have any.
Chrissy
Pictures of you in a bolo? And I'm like, I'm sure I do somewhere, but I went through a bolo phase.
Brian
It was all I was. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. But now I realize the error of my ways.
Chrissy
And by 58, I would hope that Zahn would also. But maybe in Romania, bolos are cool, you know?
Joy
Yeah, well, it's hung low, too. Kind of styled differently.
Chrissy
Slow and low. Bolo.
Zan Perrion
Be 60 in a year and a half or year.
Chrissy
Look at the crowd. They're doing a crowd shot for the.
Brian
First time ever in a 21 convention.
Joy
Three people.
Brian
There is literally three people. They are so far apart from each other. What's going on? I guess that's what you do is when you don't have anybody, you space them out.
Joy
Yeah, Here.
Zan Perrion
So. And I'm thinking, you know, there's guys out there who are looking to me as a father figure, which is interesting. And, you know, part of the theme.
Brian
Of this conference is the, Daddy, I need pussy badly.
Chrissy
I smell a little funky and I eat Taco Bell. Oh, Daddy, I need some vulva. I'm watching too much Netflix and I'm going through hell. I need sticking in some hot chucha.
Zan Perrion
You have the patriarch, the benevolent patriarch, which is a beautiful concept.
Brian
Oh, you're a benevolent patriarch.
Chrissy
Oh, that's what you are. Have you ever been.
Brian
Have you ever had a girlfriend?
Joy
Well, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah.
Chrissy
Where's the hot chicks around Zah, Right?
Brian
I mean, she's obviously not going to come up on stage with him. We don't know that part the of of his life. But if I'm not mistaken, that's a wedding. Is that a wet. No, that's a pink.
Joy
Pinky.
Chrissy
The bolo and the pinky ring at 60 takes balls.
Brian
Takes balls to do that.
Zan Perrion
And. And I'm. I'm shifting into a kind of a different phase where I'm thinking I'm gonna. I don't.
Brian
Shifting into a low T phase.
Chrissy
I'm kind of winding things down a little bit.
Brian
By the way, this is awful fancy camera work. It is, it is. They got, like, the sliding camera panning zoo Crowd shots of all three people for three people. This is ballsy. In a very small hotel conference room.
Zan Perrion
Well, as much as I used to, I don't talk as much as I used to, but I sure believe in a good message that I'm going to try and share a little bit with you, and I hope you get it. You know, I'll just throw.
Brian
There is literally like a crowd. Wow.
Zan Perrion
Some ideas in the air and let it land on you, on your shoulders and see if it's. See if it resonates.
Chrissy
I'm gonna jizz on you. I'm gonna see how far I can shoot a load. How do you feel about it?
Joy
Let it land on you. Let it settle in.
Brian
If it just starts, like burning through their clothes.
Zan Perrion
With your. With you and your experience. Talking about this.
Brian
What's up with the long T shirt covering his. Long, tight T shirt covering his butt. Like, this is a style. He's got a style going on. And I'm not saying it's good or bad because God forbid that, you know, I wear a T shirt on every episode of the commercial break and usually the same T shirt. So God forbid I say something about somebody else's style, but this is a. This is out there, but maybe in Romania, this is where it's at, you know? Yeah.
Joy
Maybe.
Zan Perrion
Of the patriarch. My. My concept that I. That I. That I'm thinking these days is what exists. This. This phrase. What exists because of you. What exists because of you.
Chrissy
What exists because of me.
Joy
What exists because of you.
Brian
A statue I made out of Happy Meal boxes.
Joy
He's throwing out the wisdom.
Brian
A super computer I built by myself. Pikachu cards everywhere.
Zan Perrion
Which is the concept of legacy. What does that look like?
Brian
These guys didn't come to hear about legacy. These guys did not come here to.
Joy
Hear about tips on how to pick up chicks.
Brian
Now you aren't, you know, Titmon chan, no one gives a.
Joy
About your.
Chrissy
You're not a shogun, dude.
Brian
I mean, honestly, let's be honest about it.
Zan Perrion
A living legacy, not something after your dad necessary. But what are you creating in this world? What do you have to look forward to? I think the worst deficit in the hearts of men and women is when they don't have anything to look forward to. Nothing that they're yearning toward.
Brian
Did these guys come to hear a speech about their legacy or are they trying to get laid? I mean, the few people that are there look. The guys look rather young, normally showing the back of their heads. I can understand why that is because no one has Agreed to be on tape.
Chrissy
It's kind of like, you know, you.
Brian
Never show the jury or the victims in a courtroom.
Chrissy
You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day.
Brian
Like, these guys didn't come to hear this, Z. They want to hear about the, like, how you get girls.
Joy
Yes.
Brian
How you've been so successful. What made you the patriot, the benevolent patriarch of the seduction community.
Zan Perrion
And I think about my. What, you know, what exists because of me.
Brian
Dandruff, that's what.
Chrissy
Because of you.
Zan Perrion
I have a daughter I talked about in the patriarch side yesterday, and I'm very close.
Brian
Yeah.
Joy
She must be proud that what you've.
Brian
Created in this world is a bunch of zombie like pickup artists that run around being in sincere and inauthentic about who they are and what their intentions.
Zan Perrion
Are, but private about this, because she's my. She's my darling. She's the.
Brian
She's embarrassed of you, really.
Zan Perrion
Of the Valley. To me. And I adore her and I love her. And I was early 20s when she's in her 30s now. I was in my early 20s when she was born, and I didn't know how to be a dad. I was a single guy chasing girls.
Joy
So I went to Romania, bused off.
Chrissy
To Romania, and I wrote a couple books. They're still in my apartment in Romania.
Brian
The books, not the girls.
Chrissy
But, you know, she's been awful proud of me for the last three or four days that I've been speaking with her.
Brian
She asked me to keep her name.
Zan Perrion
Out of it over two, three times a week. And I didn't know how to be a dad, so I just played. She'd paint my toenails and we'd dance to Madonna. And I loved her every minute of every day to the point where all these years that I've been speaking, nobody knows this, but for 20 years that I'm public speaking, including today, every time before I go on stage all over the world, from South Africa to Panama to Stockholm, I always call her because as soon as I hear her voice, I'm good. There is nothing what that can attack me when I hear her voice.
Joy
He's been calling her for the past 20 years before he steps on stage.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian
Okay. All right. I do have to say, as a dad of. Of females, I do have to say this resonates a little bit, like there is something specific about a father daughter relationship and a father son relationship. They're. They're equal and different at the same time. But there is something that is special about this Relationship, So I'm following him a little bit, but I find it hard.
Joy
I mean, if I was her, though, I would rather have him in instead of.
Brian
Yeah. Instead of calling me from Stockholm where I'm about to talk to guys about how to get.
Announcer
Yeah.
Brian
Also, it's. It's a little bit rich to be giving this particular speech when you're at the 21 convention, which is all about the manosphere, quote unquote.
Zan Perrion
You might have some naysayers. Well, you say that women are. Blah, blah, and you did it. I can live with that because I have her, and I believe in women because of her.
Brian
You just don't believe that they have the. Their will.
Joy
Yeah. That they're very intelligent.
Zan Perrion
Yeah.
Brian
You don't believe they're very intelligent, that they have their own will. You believe that they're. They're creatures of mathematical habit, and you can manipulate. You can manipulate that if you can just break the code.
Zan Perrion
I believe in the kindness and gentleness and grace of the female spirit because of what I see in my daughter. I'm good.
Brian
No, Good for you.
Joy
Well, thank you.
Brian
Give me a lot of.
Zan Perrion
A lot of relaxation and comfort.
Brian
Yeah.
Joy
Believe that.
Brian
What in the. Does this have to do with anything? These guys are probably like, I paid a thousand dollars, $3,000 for this.
Joy
Yeah.
Zan Perrion
I. I don't feel the need to try to try convince you of something, you know, because of your daughter. And I also believe in men. I. I'm here for a good message for you guys, because the world is broken. Society is in anarchy. There's no good messages, save one.
Joy
Oh.
Brian
Oh.
Chrissy
And I, Zon, benevolent patriarch, I'm here to deliver it.
Joy
Godfather Zahn.
Chrissy
Godfather Zahn.
Brian
I'm here to deliver it kindly, with my benevolent hand. Let's hear that message after we take a break.
Chrissy
You knew it was coming.
Brian
You started laughing because you knew it was coming. All right, we'll be back.
Announcer
Look, I only just started following the commercial break on Instagram, too, and that's on me. But you need to follow us at the commercial break on Instagram and CBpodcast on TikTok. I know that you are not sick of hearing that, and you never will be. Right. Something else you're definitely not sick of hearing is our phone number, 212-4333, TCB. So text. Text us or call us, but be nice to me, because I'm a highly sensitive person, and I just can't take the fame. If you want to be nice to me on another platform, you can go to our website, tcpodcast.com and actually you can just watch videos of Brian and Chrissy and listen to them all day long. And I know that that will be the best day of your life. Now let's listen to someone who's actually very, very nice to me and that's our sponsors. And let's get back to the show.
Brian
We're laughing at Christina's liners.
Joy
We love them.
Brian
Yeah, okay, back was on. He's gonna give us the. He says there's no good messages in the world save one. And he's about to deliver it.
Zan Perrion
What exists because of you is the. Is the thought and the process I've been sitting in, you know, that's the message. I'm shifting into a phase where I'm sitting in my. In my study. I have a study. My man cave.
Chrissy
Oh, you have a study.
Joy
Leather bound.
Chrissy
Yes, with a leather bound book that are mine. And a throne. Bring me the phone so I may ring my daughter and tell her how I get pussy. She's 30, she can deal with it now.
Zan Perrion
Mania. And I sit there in my rocking chair. I got a rocking chair.
Brian
Yeah, we were right. There you go.
Zan Perrion
I love it. When I was a kid, I used to sit and dream and I would read like, you know, fiction books as a kid, Tarzan books and stuff. And I would sit in a rocking chair.
Chrissy
Bring me my phone so I may ring up thy.
Brian
Hello?
Chrissy
Barbara, are you available tonight? It's on. Benevolent king of pussy. Barbara, are you there? Barbara, this phone doesn't work. Bring me another phone so I may ring Barbara back and get thy pussy for the evening. Barbara, it's me, Zahn from another phone. The benevolent king of what? Barbara? Barbara, this phone is also trash. Bring me my computer so I may text. Barbara. What? Blocked. This computer is trash. Have it burned with my bolos.
Zan Perrion
And all the years I've been traveling and speaking and wandering around the earth in different places, I didn't have a rocking chair.
Brian
What?
Chrissy
I thought we were going to talk about the one good message on earth. Talking about rocking chairs.
Joy
All the years.
Chrissy
All the years I've been walking on earth, I've never. I've never had a rocking chair. But now I solve the problem.
Joy
Since I study, I could see him.
Chrissy
At like an Aldi in Romania. Where is thy rocking chair? Barbara, bring me my rocking chair.
Brian
Sure.
Zan Perrion
Randomly bought one. And I realized what I've been missing all these years. I can't think without it. I do all my zoom calls in a rocking chair. Yeah. Okay, guys, let's go.
Joy
I bet people love that on your zoom calls.
Chrissy
You know what's coming to mind at.
Brian
This part in the presentation?
Chrissy
The beginning of the presentation where he said, I have nothing prepared. I'm just gonna jizz on you. And hopefully it makes sense.
Brian
That's what's coming to mind.
Chrissy
If I was in this room, I would be out Ski Gobowski.
Brian
I'd be like, this is not what I paid for.
Zan Perrion
So I'm sitting in. I'm shifting into this. I'm shifting into a real patriarch type of phase. I can feel it.
Chrissy
I can feel it. I can feel it in my prostate. I'm getting up to urinate much more frequently than I did before. But thank God I have my rocking chair. It's got wheels. Bring me to the urinal so I may piss again. And where's Barbara?
Zan Perrion
Something to share. Gather around. And what would I say to my young self? My young self who was so lost and lonely and so alone.
Brian
Why is he patting his face like that?
Joy
I don't know.
Chrissy
I would say, take care of your skin. Moist your eyes.
Joy
Less. Less cologne.
Chrissy
Yes, less cologne.
Joy
Less cologne to the end.
Chrissy
More shurikens.
Zan Perrion
What would I say to that to him now, knowing what I know now? Incredible.
Chrissy
Incredible. I'm incredible. Did you hear that?
Joy
He is drawing this out.
Brian
He is not giving us any digestible information having to do with anything.
Chrissy
I mean, I was willing to take.
Brian
I was willing to accept the fact we were going to go in a different direction and maybe not do so pick up artisty type bullshit.
Chrissy
But now we are lost in space completely. And Will Robbins is not there to save us.
Zan Perrion
I would say blessings upon you, my son. It's gonna be okay because I believe that's gonna be okay. And I know it's gonna be okay because I've seen it.
Chrissy
I am a young pope in my mind. Blessings upon you, young son. It's gonna be okay. You're going to have a rocking chair someday.
Joy
And a study.
Chrissy
And a study. And copies of books that I signed for.
Brian
No one.
Zan Perrion
A lot of things.
Chrissy
Where was I?
Joy
And I'm done.
Chrissy
This is so good.
Zan Perrion
I have a beautiful girl in Romania that I'm been with for 10 years.
Brian
Wow.
Chrissy
10 years, Barbara.
Zan Perrion
Long term relationship. I showed some of you guys the text I got from her yesterday, right?
Chrissy
It showed her vulva. It was from 10 years ago. I have been in a relationship with Barbara. It's a pretty one sided relationship. She sent me some nudes 10 years ago and I've been texting back ever since. Mornings tidbit.
Zan Perrion
10 years. And it's got the, the, the, the height and the depth of devotion and admiration and love. And I tell you it's not fair to me that I have a daughter of that beauty and a girl of that beauty and other guys do not. That's not fair.
Chrissy
It's not fair. So I'm willing to sell them to you right here, right now. Highest bidder ebay style auction popcorn bidding.
Brian
Who's it?
Zan Perrion
It should be for all. So my mission just is to give you some concepts and ideas that you can have it too because it's for you, it's available to you. And that's not what the message you hear from this modern society. You know, we hear that from the modern world.
Brian
Oh, the messages. Your 30 year old daughter and your 10 year old relationship in Romania are available to all guys.
Chrissy
That's the positive message you want to send. Tell me how 19, 1999 plus 1999.
Brian
Shipping and handling Romanian chick plus 30.
Chrissy
Year old daughter needs nothing from you anymore.
Zan Perrion
But I'm a real believer in it, you know, Me too. I was telling a story yesterday last.
Brian
Why do I feel like he's always telling a story?
Joy
Somebody, no matter where he is, he's definitely doing that.
Chrissy
Why do I feel like this is.
Brian
The kind of guy I would avoid at the bar? I'd like walk into the bar and I go, zon's here, let's go over here. And as soon as he starts walking toward. Talk to me, talk to me. Pretend like we're in an intense conversation. Hey Zahn. Hey, good to see you. But listen, we're chit and chatting something up, really important. Give me like three hours and I'll be gone from the bar. But if I hope we see each.
Zan Perrion
Other again soon and a half ago, my niece contacted me and said, uncle John, my first name is Jonathan, my middle name is Ann. So my family calls me John. Okay, John.
Joy
Wait, Jonathan Zan.
Brian
Jon Zahn.
Chrissy
Jon Zahn. Your name is John Zahn Johnson. Ah, Johnson. So what Barbara calls you?
Zan Perrion
So she said uncle John, Ever since I was a little girl, she was getting married. Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed about that you were going to be the one to marry us. I'm like, what?
Brian
What?
Chrissy
We're getting married? This isn't Alabama.
Brian
No, I'm kidding. Alabama jokes are passe.
Chrissy
This isn't Romania.
Zan Perrion
I had no clue. She never mentioned this. I'm like, I can't marry you. I'm not, I'm not a reverend. Well, you go online, you get ordained. I'm like, okay, so I went online and got ordained. I'm Reverend.
Chrissy
Reverend Johnson here.
Joy
Blessings.
Chrissy
Blessings upon you. Blessings upon you, child.
Joy
That's where the blessings came in.
Zan Perrion
Of course. Jonathan Zan Perion.
Brian
Laugh here.
Zan Perrion
And I got ordained and I flew to Michigan a year and a half ago in the middle of COVID And I thought, okay, it's going to be a small eight person Covid wedding, right? Nope. It was a big giant thing on the lake with swans and unicorns.
Chrissy
They were swans and unicorns. What's going on in Romania?
Joy
No, Michigan.
Chrissy
Oh, Michigan.
Joy
Michigan.
Brian
Oh.
Joy
Where everybody was defying any kind of order.
Brian
Just been made legal in Michigan over, like, the last five years, I think. John Zahn. That's not like Sean John, is it? Is it? John's on holding things.
Zan Perrion
And it was a giant like you see in the movies with the gazebo and everything, like. And I was nervous. I was nervous to talk at her wedding. Only had to talk for 15 minutes or so. And I've done a lot of public speaking and I did not get nervous. I was nervous there because I don't know why.
Brian
Because you're not talking about how to get pussy in front of a bunch.
Joy
Of guys you're actually marrying.
Brian
You got to be a human being for 15 minutes.
Zan Perrion
I just really wanted to give a good message for her, you know, my niece. And I'll tell you what my message was, because this is, to me, the essence of a loving, long term, beautiful relationship that goes as long as it needs to go, that's available to you.
Brian
As long as it needs to go. Not sure that's how marriage works. As long as it needs to go.
Chrissy
Till death do us part or as long as I need to.
Zan Perrion
Tiny little secrets I tell you I know a lot. I know a lot Devotion. How do you. This is what I said to them. I'm marrying them. They're here and here. The people are, you know, eight bridesmaids and aides.
Joy
I thought I was the marriage.
Chrissy
Did you bring a slideshow? Can we break out the slides? Because it might be more entertaining than this. I'm not sure, but this is crazy. He has gone from, I don't know, I don't even know where he started. He's gone from I have nothing prepared to I'm becoming.
Brian
I'm the benevolent patriarch of the seduction community to I got a rocking chair and a daughter to you two can.
Chrissy
Have it to I was getting married.
Brian
To Let me paint the picture where there's unicorns and swans on a lake.
Zan Perrion
In Michigan and This is what I said because I really believe it. I said you and you gaze.
Chrissy
Gaze over here. Gays.
Brian
I know what he means. Gays, like, look into each other. Yeah.
Zan Perrion
This is your beloved. That's a word we don't use anymore. We use. We use my significant other, my partner. Date night. Work on a relationship. We use these phrases that are what?
Brian
I don't think date night and beloved are interchangeable. Yeah.
Joy
Significant other, significant other.
Brian
Day, night. Yeah.
Chrissy
This is my date night.
Joy
This is actually called my date night.
Brian
My date night. Nice to meet you. Hi, I'm Brian, and this is my date night. Sounds like a prostitute or something. What is he talking about?
Chrissy
He's lost the plot, and there's, like, 40 minutes left to go. What's he gonna talk about next?
Zan Perrion
Soul killing. And we don't have the concept of the beloved. This is my beloved in whom I am well pleased.
Joy
I'm well pleased.
Chrissy
I think you're just upset we're not.
Brian
Talking in Old English anymore.
Chrissy
I know. This is thy beloved with whom I am well pleased and satisfied. In the groin Illustration. I shall now jism all over my beloved.
Zan Perrion
And if you have that, if you look at your significant other as your.
Joy
Beloved, they're like, yeah, but how do we get the first step? How do we meet girls?
Brian
He's like, how do I get out.
Chrissy
Of my basement and into a room where my beloved might be? How do I do that? Because I'm not entirely sure. And that's why I paid $3,000 to be here.
Zan Perrion
He's already. It already has a magic and a mystique. Because that's your beloved. It's a biblical word. We don't use it anymore.
Brian
Oh, my God. Where is he going with this?
Zan Perrion
So look upon each other as your beloved, which we're starving for in this modern world.
Brian
Okay. All right, listen.
Chrissy
We're an hour in. We've heard nothing substantive.
Brian
Yeah, I'm getting a theme with all these quads. If they just talk in circles, then you. Then they can charge money and talk slowly. Yeah, talk slowly. That's right. Well, you got to think it through. You don't want to sound like a total idiot all the time. I mean, listen, it's good to know.
Joy
That on his journey.
Brian
I'm sure that John Zon has been on his journey, quote unquote.
Joy
And now he's in his rocking chair face.
Chrissy
And listen, I mean, you know, I'm.
Brian
Sure the people that know Jean's on are. They think he's perfectly lovely guy, and he probably is a Perfectly lovely guy, but he's espousing some ridiculous notions and we're just going through and listening to him espouse nothing. Actually, not a thing. Haven't heard a thing from him.
Chrissy
No.
Brian
Except bolo. Yeah. Or is bolo. That's right. When's that thing gonna pop on, on it. Do like a 3D.
Joy
Like tighten it up.
Brian
Yeah.
Joy
You know, and get down to business.
Brian
Yeah, it needs to be up here. But he's wearing a T shirt. Like a Jack White T shirt.
Joy
Yeah.
Chrissy
All right, well, we'll get, we'll get.
Brian

Podcast Hosts: Bryan Green & Krissy Hoadley
Date: October 4, 2024
Main Theme:
A whirlwind comedic journey through ruined pools, natural disasters, festival lineups, the latest celebrity scandals, and the uniquely awkward wisdom of pickup artist "godfather" Zan Perrion—whose 21 Convention appearance becomes the episode’s meta centerpiece to roast and riff on.
Bryan, Krissy, and recurring guest Joy bring their signature chaotic banter to bear on the absurdities of life—parenting gripes, weather calamities, celebrity implosions, and the bizarre world of internet "alpha males." The episode's main event is a play-by-play (and takedown) of Zan Perrion's 21 Convention speech, which fails to deliver on its "benevolent patriarch" premise, providing instead a meandering legacy lecture to an empty room. The hosts' irreverent asides, singing, and roasting fill the gaps, making for an episode that’s simultaneously a comedy of errors and a sharp satire of self-help masculinity.

On Takeaway from Zan’s ‘Wisdom’:
"Benevolent King Zan" is a prime example of The Commercial Break’s irreverent, no-holds-barred riffing on the absurdities of modern living and the cottage industry of self-styled internet gurus. Bryan, Krissy, and Joy masterfully blend genuine concern for real-world troubles with their trademark lampoonery—whether dunking on their own domestic chaos or the bloviating solemnity of the manosphere’s would-be patriarchs. Their savage, comedic commentary makes even the slowest “self-help” speech become a case study in satire, ensuring laughs and quotable moments for anyone who feels (mercifully) left out of the world of alpha-male conferences, green pools, and rocking chair philosophies.
