Timestamps: 03:39–10:30

• Bryan’s Mistake Theme: The episode launches into Bryan’s confusion over Bill Belichick and Bill Bellamy, which Krissy gleefully immortalizes in a new jingle: “Bryan Got It Wrong, Yeah!” (03:39).
• AI Comedy Songwriting: Bryan reveals that AI (mainly ChatGPT) helps generate TCB chapter markers, do guest research, and even create comedy jingles. He describes training AI to identify running show themes—resulting in “Bryan gets it wrong” topping the list.
• Quote:
  • “Bryan got it wrong. Yeah, Bryan got it wrong again. That’s a new one.”—Bryan (03:51)
  • “Our new house band is ChatGPT. Every musician in our audience just turned off the commercial break. We just lost every one of them.”—Bryan (09:30)

2. Behind-the-Scenes: Massages, Memory Lapses, and Human Connection

Timestamps: 10:30–24:16

• The Massage Mix-up: Bryan narrates his anxiety about an upcoming massage, thinking he’d be stuck again with a chatty, glove-wearing masseuse. Astrid (his wife) had booked his “favorite”—but Bryan misremembers who that is. He jokes self-deprecatingly about being locked out in his underwear and the humiliation that ensues.
• Empathy for Service Workers: Both hosts reflect on their pasts in the service industry and campaign for more universal understanding—bad tippers have never waited tables!
• Notable Quotes:
  • “Now I can’t remember. Now I’m all screwed up in my head. So now I’m basically playing masseuse roulette.” —Bryan (16:21)

• Speculation & Suspicion: The hosts find the couple’s reticence about how they met (“We’re not talking about that”) more suspicious than just being honest. They riff on motivations and the tabloid-meets-PR dynamic.
• Quotes:
  • “I am not here to cast aspersions on the age of a relationship. As long as it’s legal. As long as it’s legal. Legal and appropriate are two totally different things in my mind.”—Bryan (27:25)
  • “It seemed more suspicious to jump in and say... we want to talk about it.”—Krissy (30:22)
• Who Cares, Really? They ultimately admit this is a media circus story that doesn’t matter.

4. Bill Bellamy > Bill Belichick: A Throwback

Timestamps: 32:05–34:34

• Bellamy’s Return: Krissy notes that former MTV VJ Bill Bellamy—who apparently coined "booty call"—is more interesting than football coaches’ love lives. Bryan agrees: “Bill Bellamy more interesting than Bill Belichick on any day of the week.” (33:10)

5. The NFL Draft Prank Call Scandal

• The New Rave Frontier: Raving has returned—now as extended, home-based, VR events with avatars, sensation suits, and virtual “60-hour drug fests.”
• Tech’s Drive by Base Instincts: The hosts argue these developments are natural—sex and drugs drive technology as much as anything else.
• Fatboy Slim VR Concert: They review a video of a virtual Fatboy Slim concert, finding the graphics primitive and the “crowd” sparse, but acknowledging it might feel different inside the headset.
