Earnest Goes Camp!

Summary

The Commercial Break – “Earnest Goes Camp!”

Date: March 11, 2026
Hosts: Bryan Green and Kristen Joy (Krissy) Hoadley
Episode Theme:
A classic dose of TCB’s chaotic, offbeat banter: government ridiculousness, current news, the wildness of modern streaming, pop culture tangents, childhood nostalgia, and the enduring legacy of “Ernest” — all peppered with their darkly comic, “just FINE” vibe.

---

Main Themes & Purpose

This episode mixes political absurdities, pop culture riffs, and affectionate nostalgia, all with Bryan and Krissy’s signature irreverence. The episode title is a nod to the 1980s “Earnest” movies, but the real heart is their commentary on everything from government incompetence and the insanity of streaming culture, to the quirky journeys of actors like Harrison Ford and “Ernest” himself.

Detailed Breakdown & Key Discussion Points

1. Government Incompetence and Political Circus

[00:52–06:00]

• The episode opens with Bryan and Krissy riffing on government shuffles — Christine Om being out at DHS, replaced by a former MMA fighter.
• Quote:

  “She will go down as one of the most incompetent government officials in history. I guarantee it. She was terrible.”—Bryan ([01:41])

• They touch on the political spectacle: “She’s the one who shot her dog.” ([02:20])
• Quick aside on possible VP selections, the Iran situation, and regime changes, noting the deep lack of trust in leadership.
• Quote:

  “We live in an unserious country, in unserious times, going through some serious shit.” —Bryan ([12:06])

2. Streaming Culture Gone Wild

[06:57–10:38]

• Commentary on the social-media circus surrounding Savannah Guthrie’s mom’s kidnapping, with random streamers (including one in a bikini) posting live from the crime scene.
• Quote:

  “Clicks and views. Cool. I know the game. We play it. But… we don’t bother anybody. We’re not out there… pissing all over the crime scene for a couple extra views. It’s just a really shitty thing to do.” —Bryan ([09:02])

• They shake their heads at the extreme lengths people go for online attention.

3. Legal Insider Trading & Betting Markets

[12:43–15:13]

• Discussion of betting sites like Kalshi and Polymarket, where major sums are wagered with inside info.
• Quote:

  “$500 million move the entire market... Do you think that's because someone didn't know that? Like, generals, people inside meetings...” —Bryan ([13:44])

• They point to the absurdity and legality of insiders betting on war and world events, and the inevitable outcome that “the house always wins.”

4. Nostalgia, Pop Culture, and “Earnest”

[15:45–29:56]

• A brief celebration of TCB’s near-900th episode.
• “Let’s go back to a simpler time…” leads into rants about old TV, nostalgia (“Lassie!”), and how things have changed.
• Ernest Franchise Origin Story
  • Bryan recounts Jim Varney’s rise from local commercials to becoming the inescapable “Ernest” character.

    “Everybody in town wanted an Earnest commercial… so now he’s regionally famous… and it just snowballed from there.” ([26:29])

  • That catchphrase: “What you talking about, Earl?” ([27:33])
• Quick detours to favorite cult movies (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Better Off Dead,” “Revenge of the Nerds”) and modern VHS nostalgia YouTubers.

  “There was nothing like being a child or teenager and waking up in the morning, or going to bed late at night, to television. It’s just a magical time when things were just different.” —Bryan ([29:02])

5. Hollywood Weirdness: Army Hammer, Harrison Ford

[20:12–24:49]

• Army Hammer’s return — jokes about his infamous scandals, self-awareness, and his family’s strange history.

  “He understands that he has come across… he has done some things that are not great… says he has narcissistic personality disorder… getting treatment for it.” —Bryan ([21:16])

• Harrison Ford’s late-blooming stardom, origins as a carpenter, and his now-legendary status.

  “Harrison Ford will go down as one of the greats. I mean, he’s got to, right?” —Bryan ([24:49])

• Playful comparisons: “Him, Andy Dick. Who else? … Earnest De Niro. … Pacino. … Ernest Goes to Camp.” (24:52–25:03)

6. Personal Anecdotes & Wild Wedding Stories

[34:02–39:07]

• Bryan shares about his twin brother's upcoming wedding, recalling his own mishaps: crashing into a glass door (on Xanax), nearly drowning in the ocean at night, and being rescued by a friend.

  “Had Raphael not been with me, I might still be in that ocean today. … He literally put me to bed, took off my wet, sloppy shoes… closed the door.” ([38:06])

7. Nostalgia for Simpler, Fuzzier Times

• Tangent about 1980s/90s-era television, commercials, and growing up before everything became “flipping and flashing in front of you every five seconds.”

  “The commercials all had jingles. They went on for 60 seconds. … your brain was allowed to go somewhere and the screen was fuzzy and you couldn’t see things clearly, but you just loved to watch…”—Bryan ([29:02])

8. Finals: Night Swimming, Speeder Tickets, and Urging Listeners to “Go Vote!”

[39:16–45:57]

• Banter on the dangers of swimming at night, the brackish Atlantic, and his own insurance-wrecking speeder tickets.
• A rousing call for voting and a bit of anti-incumbency:

  “If you’ve been a senator for 48 years… it’s time for you to go do something else.” —Bryan ([45:32])

---

Tone & Language

The hosts keep their trademark blend of dry sarcasm, Gen X nostalgia, affectionate ribbing, and a smattering of dark humor. They’re as likely to skewer their own industry and foibles as they are to roast politicians or TikTokers.

---

Recap & Utility

For listeners or newcomers, this is a quintessential TCB episode. You get:

• Biting, self-aware cultural commentary (from world news to minor scandals)
• Warm, chaotic storytelling about personal mishaps (weddings, near-drownings, allergies)
• Irreverent nostalgia for 1980s/90s pop culture, especially the tale of “Ernest”
• A parting call to civic action — and to not take any of it too seriously, unless it’s the voting.

If you’re looking for a structured, “serious” breakdown, you’re in the wrong place — but if casual, tangled, and cheerfully odd podcasting is your thing, “Earnest Goes Camp!” delivers.

Best to you! (As Bryan & Krissy would say.)

Transcript

[Brian Green]

On this episode of the commercial break, Lucas, George Lucas was looking for Han Solo, saw Harrison and asked him to do a screen test and a screen test to be the person talking against Princess Leia. And there was such chemistry between the two of them that he said, this is my Han Solo. It gotta be my Han Solo. And Harrison had only done bit parts here and there and whatever. And so really, Harrison Ford will go down as one of the greats. I mean, he's got to, right?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

He really does. Yeah, absolutely.

[Brian Green]

Him, Andy Dick. Who else?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Earnest De Niro.

[Brian Green]

De Niro.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Pacino.

[Brian Green]

Ernest goes to camp.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yep. That guy.

[Brian Green]

What are you talking about? The next episode of the commercial break starts now. 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 you, Chris. Best you out there on the podcast, the streaming audience. Thanks for joining us here. We're just hearing the breaking news that Christine Om is out as the DHS person and the whole world is shedding a tear right now. Oh, yeah, why Don, why? She was doing such a great job. All has confidence in her. What's that?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

She's bought that plane.

[Brian Green]

She's bought that plane with the bed in it. What's she gonn now? Who's gonna sleep in the bed now? Apparently a former MMA fighter, Markowayne Mullen. Listen, he's a former soldier. I know that much. I think he, I think he was in the military. So. Okay, give the guy a chance, I guess. What do we.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

What's he gonna do, take over now?

[Brian Green]

He's gonna take over now. He's gonna take over the secret police known as the DHS now. So there you go, hot dog. All right, but we can all agree Christy will be missed because without her, who's going to lie to our faces? Who's going to lie to our faces? She will go down as one of the most incompetent government service government officials in history. I guarantee it. She was terrible. Yeah, terrible. She's the one who shot her dog.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I know. Yeah, I was. What was I watching? I was watching something where I guess Trump originally was maybe gonna have her do the. Be the vice president.

[Brian Green]

Yes. Like, I saw that. Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

But then with the whole dog thing came out, he was like, oh, that's really bad.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I'll put her in charge of rounding up humans. Unbelievable. Oh, it's all going to work out just fine. I'm sure of it. I am sure that's the only way

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

that we can think.

[Brian Green]

Somebody asked me the other day, they said, how do you feel about the situation in Iran? And I said, listen, I don't think anyone's going to be upset that the Ayatollah is gone. I actually have Iranian friends from Iran who are now living here in the United States. And I asked them directly over the weekend, what do you think? And again, no tear is going to be shed by most people. Most people, let's call it. He said, he said 90% of Iranians are not going to be sad that the Ayatollah is dead at all because he has had an iron fist, he has killed a lot of people. It's a terrible regime to live under. And then he said, well, you know, don't you think it's a little bit like Venezuela? And I said, yes, ish. And here's why it's an ish. I don't believe for one second that Iran should be able to have nuclear ballistic missiles ever because they do have a regime based on ideology that is very reactionary and opposed to, to any Western type of civilization. Right. So in other words, they want to see us dead. That's just, that's a fact. They say it. That's it. That's what they've been saying for 47 years. The Iranian people are living under in terrible oppression just like the Venezuelans were. So, but this is not that, if you understand what I'm saying. Venezuela is a banana republic and has no real standing army and is just basically a bunch of people playing pretend with oil money in a very oil rich nation.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I thought that they were preparing an indictment for Del C. Yes, it just reminded me, yeah, let's put her in

[Brian Green]

charge of that indictment. Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

What, what, what happened there?

[Brian Green]

I don't know. I don't know. I'm going to reserve judgment until I hear the rest of it. Listen, I'm going to just, I'm going to chill out on the Venezuelan speak for a second when it comes to politics for a lot of reasons, but I'm just, let's put it that way. I don't know what, I'm going to put a pin in it. I will comment sometime down the road. But the difference with Iran is Iran has a very capable, very big, very dangerous military and the Iranian National Guard, the irc, the Iranian Republic, Republic Command, they are dangerous and they are capable and they are all over the world. They have a huge spy organization. They have tried to have people murdered on American soil, including our President, senators, you know, former directors of National Security, like they are dangerous. And to not exactly have a plan when you're just going to go randomly in there and start loading people up with missiles seems a bit unhinged to me. But. But I will share that. That if it leads to some kind of change in the Iranian leadership that is more. Less ideological, let's put it that way, and so irrational about their hatred for most of the world, then I would consider it a good thing. But right now it doesn't look good.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It looks chaotic.

[Brian Green]

Doesn't look good right now. Yeah, it doesn't look like it's going the way they had hoped it would go. But they will say different until the cows come home. But I do I have to say this. Anytime. The men and women who go and fight for this country, even when it's misguided fighting, they should be honored. Their service should be honored. They are brave.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Absolutely.

[Brian Green]

I am. And I respect the people who serve in our military 100%, and I support them 100%. I don't only support the mission, but I support them. And already six, eight, ten people are dead, with many more citizens and people around the world suffering. So let's see how this all plays out. But this is a tough time. This is a dangerous time for sure. And now Britney's in rehab. So what are we going to do? Top it off, top it all off. Britney's in rehab. And that, my friends, is really what's at the top of my mind today, is that Britney is in re. And they still haven't found that. Savannah Guth's mom. No.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

God.

[Brian Green]

You know, I saw the most disturbing thing I think I've ever seen in my entire. And maybe one of the most disturbing things I've seen certainly this year, if not in the last decade, if not ever. And it has everything to do with this life that we live on our phone, social media, streaming, Twitch, all this other shit.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Thank you to all our streamers.

[Brian Green]

Thank you to all our streamers. Thank you for streaming. Thank you, thank you, Twitch. Thank you, thank you, Restream. Someone was taking a video from like a up up high on their patio that overlooked the street where the house is where Savannah Guthrie's mom lived. And there was a line, a line. Four or five different people. Not reporters, people. One girl in a bikini, basically streaming from the scene of the crime, streaming from the scene of the crime in various states of dress and undress, making commentary and comedy and basically being jack holes. Do you remember in the movie Natural Born Killers when the guy is running around with the Video camera and taping. Everybody.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I do.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. It's going to be streamed live to 600,000 people. You're going to be famous. Mallory and whatever his name was. This is starting to feel like that. And I am really disappointed.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

So, Chrissy, what are they streaming saying?

[Brian Green]

Well, I don't know, because you couldn't hear it. Like they were. They were filming the people streaming. They weren't. It wasn't the actual stream I was watching.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

They were filming the stream of the streamers.

[Brian Green]

Like 10 people, one person filming one person, you know, being the host of the show or whatever. So Chrissy and I are going to take the commercial break there and straighten this all out. We'll solve this problem lickety split.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

As soon as we get there.

[Brian Green]

Yes. This is not all the murders in the building, guys. This is a real life caper that they're trying to solve. And there are people's lives and family members and relatives are there suffering. And you fucking morons are in your bikinis out in front of her house trying to get clicks and views. Now, listen. Clicks and views. Cool. I know the game. We play it. That's the same game that we play. But we sit here in our studio. We don't bother anybody. We're not out there in the middle of someone's investigation, pissing all over the crime scene for a couple extra views. It's just a really shitty thing to do.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I think so, too.

[Brian Green]

Shitty. Shitty thing to do. Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

If I profit off of a tragedy.

[Brian Green]

That's right. If you're one of these people that is streaming the streamers that are at Savannah Guthrie's mom's house. Turn it off. Turn it off. Like, you know, vote with your pocketbook. Don't give those people more clicks and views. It's just terrible. It's just terrible. It's like, what's going to happen next? You're going to show up at the site of a school shooting or something like that. Why? For what reason? You can sit. If you want to make commentary like everybody else on the Internet about Savannah Guthrie's mom's kidnapping, then do it from the comfort of your studio like the rest of us. But don't go out there and bother everybody with your fucking bullshit. People are terrible. People are terrible.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

People are the worst.

[Brian Green]

People are the worst. I'm out of here. I don't even want to be around you. Everyone's terrible. I'm kidding. I'll be around you.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Okay, thanks.

[Brian Green]

I'm contractually obligated to be around you, but I'LL be around you.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. I mean, it's just. It is. It's awful. It really is. Just people just again, trying to profit.

[Brian Green]

And to what end? Right? And to what end? What are you getting? Are people really tuning in to see you at the scene of the crime? Is that really going on? I don't know, because I don't know who. The street. None of them look particularly famous.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Seen footage of the house. What. What else are they going to show?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, so footage of the house on cbs, on abc, on NBC, where, like, there's actual reporters out there trying to, you know, report on the actual, like, actual facts of the case, not someone just out there shitposting to make a few extra bucks. I mean, that's just like. Let's not go there. I don't think we need to go there.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You know, I wonder if people were streaming, like, when. Because I saw that Savannah Guthrie actually went to the house.

[Brian Green]

Oh, she did?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I guess. And like laid flowers down or something and said, you know, we're still thinking, still hoping.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I mean, after this long. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't seem likely that Savannah Guthrie's mom is going to be found alive. The question is, will she be found at all? Found at all? You know, I know Cash is on the job, so we got that going for us. Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Speaking of competency.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I texted Chrissy the other night two weeks ago when they arrested somebody in connection with this. And I said, oh, it looks like they. They. They caught somebody, you know. Chrissy said, yeah, it's Cash Patel announcing it, so. And now I'm sure it's true. And one day later, they released the guy. Yeah, they've arrested like six people. They've. They've released them all.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

And that's been through different investigations. Not even just Savannah Guthrie's.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, all of them.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

We caught him.

[Brian Green]

Got him. Oh, no, sorry. Just kidding. Jk. Jk.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Hashtag Cash is got his girlfriend. All SWAT teamed up.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Cash Bash. We're having a party on the plane. Cash Bash. Yeah. I mean, listen, it's just ridiculous.

[Rachel]

It is.

[Brian Green]

We live in an unserious country, in unserious times, going through some serious shit. That's the truth. It's unserious. People are raiding the liquor cabinet while the world crumbles around them. And we've got clowns at the top of every single post. Clowns. We've got the Vince McMahon's wife running the Department of Education. That is no longer. We've got Cash Patel flying billion dollar planes around so he can go have a beer with the guys. We've got Christine Om shooting dogs and her a special assistant to the envoy of whatever. And it's just like there's no competent human beings at all in charge of our government.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

All the insider trading knowledge and stuff. You know those sites where you can bet on things?

[Brian Green]

Kyle Sheet. Yeah, yeah. Kalshee will be the downfall of our society.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

There's that one in another one.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Polymarket. Yes, Poly Marketing. Kalshi. Let me share. And if you trade on this. I don't. Listen, I know you're trying to get in on the hype and I get it. If you could make $1 million simply guessing if Brian's wearing a white or a black sock today. It's black, by the way. If you can get, if you can make $1 million doing that, then I would too. The truth is though, the house always wins and the insiders always have the information before you do. So even if you win, you're going to make much less than they do. So people, $500 million worth of money went into the trade. Will the US attack Iran 10 hours before the US attacked Iran? $500 million move the entire market, move the entire line. Do you think that's because someone didn't know that? Like soldiers, people that generals, people that were inside of meetings or people that were just told that so that they

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

could go make money on the board?

[Brian Green]

He's on the fucking board of both. You don't think he was moving money around his crypto, bipto or whatever the it is?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Of course he's all anonymous.

[Brian Green]

So. And here's the hard part that I'm going to give you the hard truth, Chrissy. It's completely legal. It's completely legal. Even if it was Don Jr. It's completely legal because he's inside of the government. If he had that information, it's not, it's not illegal. It might be illegal for him to share it. It's not illegal for him to place a trade. It's. These markets are completely legal. They should be illegal, but they are completely legal and it is a fucking disaster. And meanwhile there are people probably just like you and I who have very little money, if any money at all that are betting their homes on this stuff happening. But they are not going to make the line because they don't have the inside information. They can't do it quick enough. And that's the way that it is. It's just a fucking nightmare when you think about it. It's Really a nightmare. And then, I don't know if you heard about this, but there was like $2 million worth of bets that were placed on whether or not the Ayatollah was going to be killed.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yes, he was killed today.

[Brian Green]

There was like a hundred million dollars worth of payouts that were supposed to go and. And. And Kyle, she. Or polymarket, sends out an email saying, I'm sorry, we're not paying these out. You can't bet on someone's death. Meanwhile. They were the ones who put the line up. Yeah, they were the ones who put the bed up. You can't just pretend do that. They did it. It's like. Yeah, it's. And they even showcased it in an email. Like, there are people that.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

We must read the same story because. Yeah, that's what I read it.

[Brian Green]

It's just. It's unbelievable what is going on and who's going to do anything about it. I don't know. Not me. I can't do anything about it. I wish I could do something. I could talk about it, but that's not going to make any much difference. If me talking about anything made a difference, we would have known about it a long time ago. Do you know what I'm saying? We would have known about it a long time.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, congratulations on our 900th show.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah. Our 900th show. Yeah. We're rounding the corner. Maybe. Maybe before the end of the year.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

Maybe before the end of the year we'll hit a thousand.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

We got another hundred in us before the end of the year.

[Brian Green]

I think we got another hundred in us before the end of the year. Yeah. In some way, shape or form.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

The holidays.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Our new network is asking for more episodes. So I. I think we'll probably hit 100 before the end of the year. We might be again, contractually obligated to do at least three a week, if not four a week. So. Okay, let's do this. Let's take a short break, and then when we get back, we'll talk about more. We'll keep. We'll. We'll keep you in the cups. How's that? We'll keep you happy. What are we going to talk about?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I don't know. Let me look at my phone.

[Brian Green]

Okay, look at your phone. Let's go back to a simpler time. Let's talk about an episode of Lassie. Remember Lassie?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, Lassie.

[Brian Green]

No one seemed to be upset when Lassie was on tv. Let's go back to the days when CBS was run by the people who put on Lassie instead of the girl who's making billions of dollars on polymarket. Oh, I'll tell you this real quick. Also Harvey Levin, the guy who runs tmz.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

And Mark Garagos, the very famous lawyer who defended Scott Peterson and other people. Mark Garagos, they have a show called like, Two Angry Guys or something like that. Right. The podcast that they do live every Thursday. Right. Last Thursday, before this whole Iran thing happens, they go on live with their show, and Mark Garagos is in a restaurant, and Harvey is busting his balls because he's like, you know, we do the show once a week, and for once a week, for an hour, you'd think you'd be able to go somewhere it's not noisy, right? And Mark says, I was gonna go somewhere that's absolutely gonna go somewhere. But you will not believe what I just heard. And the conversation I'm hearing at the next table that I overheard at the next table, and that's why I stayed. And Harvey goes, what are you talking about? And he goes, you wouldn't believe this. You won't believe it if I told you. And he says, tell me, what are you talking about? And he goes, I just overheard at a conversation at the next table, he goes. And I'm not going to say who it was, but this is legitimate information that it's happening. Iran is going to be attacked in the next 24 hours. He said that on Thursday.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, wow.

[Brian Green]

And it happened on Friday. So in a crowded fucking restaurant next to Mark fucking Garagos, someone is letting the cat out of the bag. It's an unserious government and an unserious time when very serious things are happening. That's all I gotta say. Mark Garagos knew before we did. I bet Mark Garagos placed out 500. Probably I would have if I was Mark Garagos. Fuck. Yeah. He doesn't need money. Hey, Garagos, call me. I need your services. I'll be back.

[Rachel]

Okay. You're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over 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] the commercial break. Best to you and Astrid. Especially Astrid.

[Brian Green]

Well, we had a dis. I'm talking to somebody on the stream. We had a Discord server. We have a Discord server. And we started to do it, but that's when we had somebody that could help us with the Discord server. Like somebody that was actually helping us with the managing of the Discord server. And that was Christina. And when Christina left, I did not keep up with it because, quite frankly, I'm already doing quite a lot. And so to manage a Discord server at the same time was really difficult. But if someone wants to volunteer to manage the TCB Discord server, I'm all about it. Like, I'll just hand it over to you and you could be in charge of it and you can do what you like with it. Just don't say bad things about me.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

So I've got a. I've got a little headline here that I saw. One of your favorite people, Armie Hammer. Armie Hammer is returning to the big screen.

[Brian Green]

Armie Hammer.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Armin Hammer is back. What is an Army Hammer? The one that was eating people?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yes. All right.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Oh, good old Army Hammer. I love that guy. Wasn't he selling condos in Barbados for a second or something? Yeah. Okay. Well, he's handsome. It's hard to deny that he played the Winklevoss twins in Social Network. Yeah, he was. He was good in that. What? So what's. He's returning to the. To the big screen how?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, let's see. I'm still reading it here. Five years later. Is making his return to the big screen. In December. He starred in the Western Frontier Crucible playing an outlaw.

[Brian Green]

Oh, okay. I didn't see that one.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Me either. He has two other movies in the works.

[Brian Green]

Okay, listen. Hey, you know, I actually have been watching. I follow. And have been watching a podcast that army has been doing. Yeah, like inside Armie Hammer or whatever it's called.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

The Army Hammer Time.

[Brian Green]

Army Hammer Time. And I do have to say, while army is a little on the weird side, he does seem to have a bit of self awareness. And so I will give him that. He understands that he has come across. He has done some things that are not great. He said, I never Ate people. I was interested in the topic for a while, but I never had, like. I was not eating people or anything like that. But I will share with you that, you know, someone who's self aware is at least self aware. He also says that he has narcissistic personality disorder. Not hard to believe. And that he's getting treatment for it. So it was actually fascinating to watch his Instagram for a while because he was talking to all of these people in his life, and these people were being real honest about what an asshole he was.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, well, he comes from that family. I watched the whole documentary on that. Didn't you? You watched it, too?

[Brian Green]

I watched it, too. We talked about it. It was like three or four years ago during the pandemic. We talked about it.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, it was bizarre.

[Brian Green]

It was bizarre. The whole situation was bizarre. Army was bizarre. His family is bizarre. He comes from weird circumstances and he is weird. But, you know, everybody deserves a second chance. And I don't think if he didn't actually hurt anybody, they. He tied some woman up one time. Wasn't that it? Like, tied her up and left her there. Yeah. No, it's not cool.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

God.

[Brian Green]

But. But there was some question about whether or not she asked for. Like, she asked to be tied up or didn't ask to be tied up. I can't remember the whole situation. Listen, if army has made amends, then, okay, you know, Army's the least of my concerns right now. Do you know what I'm saying now? I know Arm and Hammer, okay? Just not good movies. Shitty movies. As long as he's in shitty movies, that's good. Get Brendan Schwab or what's his name, Brendan. The guy everybody loves.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Frazier.

[Brian Green]

Frazier. Brendan Frazier. Let Brendan Fraser have all the good roles. Leave the shitty Rolls. Arm and Hammer. Brendan Fraser is the light of the life for everybody. Everybody. Do you see that? Harrison Ford got a lifetime achievement award at the sag.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I did.

[Brian Green]

And got up there Voice Week. You know, old man, he's in 87 or something like that, and gave a beautiful, touching speech about his career and. And how he was excited that everyone was excited about him having it. And, you know, I'm excited that you're

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

excited that you're excited about me.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. But that is Harri Ford. He is.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

No, he's great. He's. I started watching that show Shrinking, and it's. It's cute.

[Brian Green]

Harrison Ford, for those of you that don't know and may want to know, really got his start in acting very late in life at, like, 36 years old. Right. And when the first Star wars became a hit, I think he was 40 already. And then he went on to do Indiana Jones and all this other stuff. He was a carpenter who worked his way on set to whatever.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Lucas.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, but he wasn't working for Lucas. He was working at Universal or whatever.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Like the building.

[Brian Green]

The building, Right. And he. Lucas. George Lucas was looking for Han Solo, saw Harrison and asked him to do a screen test and a screen test to be the person talking against Princess Leia. And there was such chemistry between the two of them that he said, this is my Han Solo. Got to be my Han Solo. And. And Harrison had only done bit parts here and there and whatever. And so really, Harrison Ford will go down as one of the greats. I mean, he's got to, right?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

He really does. Yeah, absolutely.

[Brian Green]

Him, Andy Dick. Who else?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Ernest De Niro.

[Brian Green]

De Niro.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Pacino.

[Brian Green]

Ernest Goes to Camp.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yep. That guy.

[Brian Green]

What are you talking about, Earl?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Ernest.

[Brian Green]

Hey, Bob, what's talking about?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I forgot about Ernest.

[Brian Green]

Oh, Ernest. Ernesti. Ernest Wankadoodle or something like that. Ernest, do you. I watched a documentary on earnest on YouTube because, you know, it wasn't going to get the full HBO treatment, but it was a YouTube documentary and it was good. It was like 40 minutes long. Take a guess how Ernest got his start. Gas station attendant, local television commercials.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Okay, okay.

[Brian Green]

So he's working at a, you know, wtt.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

That's what he used to do on the charter, right?

[Brian Green]

Exactly. He's working at WTT or whatever in Tennessee, I think it was. He's working at WTT in Tennessee. Double tits at Tennessee. He's working up there. They say, ah, the window world needs a new commercial, you know. And Ernest, or whatever his name is, he says, oh, okay. And they said, well, can you be the guy? The, you know, let's do some help, create some creative. And so they do some screen tests and he comes up with this wacky character. He's like, well, when I need to get some new windows, you know where I go. And then the window falls on his hand and he's like, earl, Earl, you forgot about me, Earl. Right. He does this whole. He does this whole bit and the company loves it so much that they're like, give us 10 of those. Give us a series of those. Right? And he goes and he does a series of those.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, he parlayed that.

[Brian Green]

Yes. And then he parlayed that into. Everybody in town wanted an earnest commercial, so everybody in town got an earnest commercial. So now he's like regionally famous and, you know, like northeast Tennessee or whatever. People love it. And it just snowballed from there until someone said, hey, you should do this as like a show show. Like a television show. So I think if I'm television special or something like that. So if I'm not mistaken, that he did like a local television special that then got picked up. John Jim Varney. That's right. As it was his name. That's right. And he. I mean, for like a year, you couldn't go anywhere. Not a McDonald's, not a movie theater, not a television channel. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing Ernest

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

T. No, he's everywhere.

[Brian Green]

Whatever his name was, he was everywhere. And that catchphrase, Ernest T. Bass. That's right. Thank God we have an audience. They can.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I know, Help us out.

[Brian Green]

Ernest Steve Bass.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

And he wore the jean overalls and the stuff.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. What you talking about, Earl? Hey, Earl. Earl, help me out here.

[Rachel]

Earl.

[Brian Green]

Earl was always the guy behind the camera. You know, you were looking as if you were Earl. I mean, you have to watch. Go watch some Ernest T. Bass commercials. You'll see it. Ferris Bueller will go down as one of the greatest movies. So will better off dead. I was talking with a friend yesterday.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

It's a fantastic movie.

[Brian Green]

Fantastic. I want my $2.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I used to laugh with my mom. Mom and my sister about that scene. That's so funny. He's snorting snow off the top of the mountain.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that guy from Nerds. Yeah, the guy from Nerds. It's pure snow, man. He's like. That actually is snow. I know, it's fantastic. And they have like the ski race off Meyer.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

The guy that pulls up next to him.

[Brian Green]

Oh, great movie. They don't make it like that anymore. I'm telling you. I'm watching this guy that does these VHS tapes.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, yeah. So still watching that.

[Brian Green]

I'm so in love with him. He's my best friend and he doesn't know me, but he's my best friend because he takes these VHS tapes and he pops them into his VHS tape machine and he does commentary on them and he. If people send them from all around the world. Oh, I'm sure he doesn't know what. What's in them. He's got a garage full of them. Right. But he's. He's doing it and he's doing it well. But mainly what he likes is not only to watch what's on the videotapes. It's very rarely home movies. It's almost always something that's been recorded off television.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

From the 80s or 90s.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

And he said something the other day, and it was 100 true. And he said there was nothing like being a child or a teenager and waking up in the morning or going to bed late at night to television. He's like, it just. It's just a magical time when. When things were just different. Right. And he's so right about that. The commercials all had jingles. They went on for 60 seconds. You know, it was just a magical time when there was, like, narrative and story and, you know, your brain was allowed to go somewhere and the screen was fuzzy and you couldn't see things clearly, but you just loved to watch what was on television. And I know maybe everybody gets nostalgic for that time in their life because it's formative years, but, I mean, it must be tough to grow up right now when everything's just flipping and flashing in front of you every five seconds. Listen to me. I sound like a fucking dead man. I sound like my dad. I'm talking about Ernest T. Bass. Better off dead.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Let's talk about the weather next. Next.

[Brian Green]

It's nice outside, but the allergies are hitting. That's all I gotta say. Oh, I couldn't breathe yesterday. I was like, I know, it's awful. It's terrible. If I'm not. If I don't have a cold in the winter, then I have allergies in the spring. The only time I get any relief is for, like, eight weeks in the. In the summer. That's it. That's the only time.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I was saying I think I need to go to see, like, an allergy specialist.

[Brian Green]

You might need to. You might need to. If anything, just for some peace of mind. Yeah. He can tell you you're not crazy, that you're actually full of allergies.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

No, I know I am.

[Brian Green]

And then I have coffee every morning with Chipper, and I'm allergic to dogs, and he sheds all over the place. So I gladly turn in Chipper. Blue for Chipper. But listen, I'll deal with Blue. I'm dealing you. Okay. I'm learning to deal with Blue. I'm learning to fall in love again with the doll. And by fall in love, I mean ignore her. Just ignore her.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, you're not going to see her for a couple days, right?

[Brian Green]

That's right. I'm not going to see her for a couple days. So this will be good for our relationship.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

You know, sometimes you just need a break. That's the way it Goes. All right, we'll be. Give us. Give us a minute and we'll be back. Let us. Let me go tinkle. I'll be back.

[Rachel]

Let me do something Brian has never done.

[Brian Green]

Be brief.

[Rachel]

Follow us on Instagram at the commercial break. Text or call us 212-4333, tcb. That's 212-433-822. Visit our website tcbpodcast.com for all the audio, video, and your free sticker. Then watch all the [e-mail] thecommercial break and finally share the show. It's the best gift you could give a few aging podcasters. See, Brian? That really wasn't that difficult, now was it? You're welcome.

[Sam]

Just a guy who ran. It's not funny at all. The co host is sleep. She's pretty dark. People like the show. Why are they on the charts? What's the fuck they talking about? I should have a suit of stats. TCB is terrible. This show is bad. I'd like to punch Brian'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 him deaf. In my defense. PCB 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 are unfunny and so old. Why all the hype? How did this get made so many episodes, none of which are great. ECB is terrible. Worst show you could do. TCB is terrible. Worst to you.

[Brian Green]

That's my favorite song. That is my favorite song. Nice trill up there, girls. Nice trill up there, you fake. AI grills.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

That's a great song.

[Brian Green]

Cha cha cha, cha, cha cha. Yeah. Gotta go to my brother's wedding.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

That's exciting.

[Brian Green]

The big party. The big party version. Gonna go and have a couple people and, you know, do the thing. Yeah, it's exciting. I'm, I'm. I am looking forward to it. As they would say, this is his first wedding. This is his first wedding. Let's hope it's his last wedding. Yes. Because we're getting too old to do this shit again. Kev. Yeah, no, I think he's got a good one. I think he's got a good one. And I'm. I'm wishing nothing but the best for them. And it's always exciting when you go to see two people commit in front of Friends and family. And then you have the big party, which I know is the important part for them. So. And they're gonna do it where I did it. They're gonna do their big party where I did my big party the first time around. And so let's hope the results are different. Let's hope it's not the place.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, I think. I think it will be.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I, you know, and this is a party crew that is showing up, so it's. Should. It stands to be interesting, for sure. There's gonna be stories to be told. Whether or not I can tell them, I don'. Have to see. I don't want to embarrass my friends, but there's, you know, I have a twin brother and his name is Kevin, and Kevin is the one that is doing the do this weekend. And I'll stand up there with him, alongside him, and we'll, you know, I'm sure lots of hugs and then lots of alcohol. I hate to think of the. The booze bill on my wedding with Astrid was pretty big because it was Venezuelans, Irish Catholics, all some of the same people. Hoadley. There's a separate line for Hoadley, Chrissy and Rachel. Yeah, it said Hoadley budget. Oh, Rachel was a third angel Budget. But the. I think this might even take the cake. This might even take the cake. There are lots of people that are coming that can really hammer it down, so we'll see how it all.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Plus, it's going to be at the beach setting.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, there's ocean, so I hope no one falls in. I hope no one falls in. My first wedding, I ran into a plate glass door and broke it and ended up with a bloody nose and a big bump on my head. And then after that, well, here's the thing. Everyone had been drinking after the rehearsal dinner, obviously.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, those rehearsal dinners.

[Brian Green]

Everyone took it back to a condo that was on the beach. Third floor on the beach, and I was already gone. But there was a girl that was part of Julia's wedding party, but Julia's part of the wedding party, a bridesmaid. And she was handing out Xanax. For what reason, I don't know. But she said, you need one of these. So you get a good night's sleep and you calm down and everything's good in the morning and all that other stuff.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Maybe she went for you to take it the next day.

[Brian Green]

I don't know what she meant for me to take it, but she gave it to me, and I do not take Xanax. It's not my thing. I have very rarely taken a couple times on. Usually for medical purposes, usually because I do need to take it to calm down. Right. So I took it. And when I took it, I. There was a big glass door, sliding glass door out to the patio. And I walked from the kitchen straight into that glass window and cracked it. And I mean, these are these like hurricane windows. They're not small. I ran into it with force, and I. With my forehead and then my nose, and it bled everywhere.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

So that was how you got married.

[Brian Green]

Well, listen, my nose wasn't broken, luckily. I don't think. I mean, it does look like I got broken at some point. Maybe that was it. But it didn't look like it wasn't swollen the next morning. That's the good. Okay, I did have a bump. You can barely see it. They put a little makeup on it. You could barely see it. But later on, I got some hair in my ass that I needed to swim. And rather than go to the pool that was right out front of the condo building, I went out back to

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

the ocean in the dark.

[Brian Green]

In the dark ocean. And had Raphael not been with me, I might still be in that ocean today. Because it was not a particularly calm night. I remember it was windy. There were waves. And if there are waves in this particular beach, it is choppy. That means the. The. The ocean is rough. And I walked straight out in there, and I dove in the water and started flopping around, and Raphael had to come in and pull me out. I wasn't trying to kill myself. I thought I was having fun.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Right?

[Brian Green]

Right. But Raphael was like, dude, you're going to die the night before you get married. You got to stop this. Let's go inside. And so we went inside, and I will never forget that we walked up, we went straight back to my condo, and he literally put me to bed, took off my shoes, my wet, sloppy shoes, took off my wet, sloppy clothes, handed me a pair of underwear and a T shirt, and was like, now in the bed. And he closed the door. This is what he said to me. He grabbed my phone, too, and he said, I'm going to be sleeping on this couch, and I'll wake you up when it's time to get up. Don't worry about your phone. Don't worry about anything, but you're not leaving the condo again tonight. And I actually woke up before he woke me up. And he was still sleeping out on that couch. When I woke up the next day, he was absolutely stepped in and made sure That I didn't do something really fucking stupid. High as a fucking kite, drunk as a fucking skunk. So I'm hoping something like that happens this weekend so I can report back.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

You'll be the person saving.

[Brian Green]

I'll be the person saving because I likely won't be drunk. But I, you know, I hope everybody stays, you know, shoreside. That's all I got.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. God. I have no interest in an ocean at night.

[Sam]

Night.

[Brian Green]

No.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Other than just maybe like walking on the. Well, that sand where it's just kind of the. The tide is just kind of splashing up.

[Brian Green]

Love that. You can give me a nice, long, beautiful stars outside. And I think there's a full moon this weekend.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, no, they just had the full blood moon.

[Brian Green]

Oh, really? Okay. So I guess there's gonna be no moon.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, no, it's. It'll be waning.

[Brian Green]

Waning. Okay. So at least it'll be a little bit of a moon out, Right? And so there'll be a little bit of a moon out. So at least there'll be some. Some light. And we'll be able to keep everybody on the shore because. Because that. You're right. Night swimming is a dumb idea. In the ocean. It's a dumb idea. You don't know what's down there. No. You can't see the sharks. You can't see the jellyfish. You can't see anything.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Certainly not the Atlantic.

[Brian Green]

No. And this is not crystal blue water. I was gonna say there are places on the Atlantic where it's crystal blue water, but that's down in Miami. That's not a. That's not where we're gonna be. And that mucky, muddy, brackish water. Also. It's gonna be freezing cold. Oh, it's still March. Yeah. It's not gonna be warm. It's really never warm, to be honest with you. Not that far, but we'll see how it all goes. Listen, Happy to just get a day away. Just a day away. We'll be.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, it'll be a little vacay.

[Brian Green]

Take the kids down there, show them a good time. Throw them in the ocean at night. Show them what night swimming's all about.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Night swimming.

[Brian Green]

Night swimming. There is that guy, Michael Shanahan, the actor Michael Shanahan, who usually plays some kind of creep in the movie, who has now done a tour with David Bowie's band after David Bowie died, posthumously as David Bowie, doing Space Odyssey and the Lazarus and all that other stuff. Right. And now he has been doing all two of the first rem Albums in a string of shows at the 40 watt club, where REM got it in Athens, got its start in Athens. And it's become such a big deal, these shows. He's been doing like. Like, you know, two a week, three a week or something like that for a month and a half, really. It's become such a big deal that now members of REM Are showing up and doing the shows with him or songs with him. That's cool. Including Michael. Everyone who's alive has been now up on stage. And then there's other famous musicians that have come. It's become quite the big deal to see Michael Shanahan doing his best Michael Stipe impersonation up at the 40 watt. You can check it out on Instagram. You can look at. I don't even know where they're selling the tickets. I look for tickets. I don't know where they're selling them. They might not be selling them. They might be just giving them away to people they know or whatever. But it is interesting. Very interesting. That Michael Shanahan. Yeah. You ever seen the movie Bug? Oh, have you seen Bug?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I. I don't think so.

[Brian Green]

Okay, here's the premise. You ready? Real quick? Here's the premise. Michael Shanahan is a stranger, comes into town, meets a waitress. Michael Shanahan is a stranger who apparently worked on some army base or something like that, and the army base implanted bugs in him. Right? Bugs. Like. Okay, mechanical bugs. Yeah, in him. And he's also happened to be doing a lot of meth. So. Yeah. This stars Priscilla Presley, I think. It's not Priscilla. Who's not Lisa Mali Marie. Priscilla, who's the actress?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, I mean, Priscilla was an actress.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Who's her daughter?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Lisa Marie.

[Brian Green]

Lisa Marie. It stars Lisa Marie Presley and. Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Shanahan get all of a sudden, like, the. It starts closing in, and now they're just in a small house, and then they're in a room, and then they tape the room off with plastic and then they've got. They think they've got bugs and they're looking at each other and sometimes they looks like they have bugs, and other times it doesn't look. They have bugs. It is a insanity inducing movie where Michael Shanahan is so good. So good. But it is bothersome. The movie is bothersome.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Thinking about it make me want to watch it.

[Brian Green]

It's the first time that I saw Michael Shanahan do anything. It's like this movie's like 20 years old now, but if you really want to freak yourself the out, watch Bug.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I'm okay.

[Brian Green]

You don't want to watch Bug? No, I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna tell Kevin to watch that before he gets married. Hey, Kev, come on, sit down. No, no, no, no.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I got some advice for you.

[Brian Green]

No, I know you want to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Let's watch Bug. It's great.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, mazel tov. And cheers to Kevin and his lovely bride.

[Brian Green]

Yes. Here's to doing the thing. Travels.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Going down there. Don't speed.

[Brian Green]

No.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Do not speed.

[Brian Green]

No. I don't think I'd have a license if I speed again. I mean, I already have two super speeder tickets. How many more can I have? Yeah, they got me in one week. Week. One week. I got two tickets going 20 miles per hour over. I can't do it again. Yeah, no, I've slowed down because my insurance went up.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Well, right? Yeah. Bad.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Well, no, you get their third one, I think they drop you. I got my license. My ability to get a commercial driver's license got suspended for one week because I got that super speeder ticket, like, one week. But I don't have a cdl. I don't need one. But it's on my driving report. I saw it. I was like, oh, my CDL got suspended. I don't have a cdl. But it was one week. It's like one week.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

They were just covering all the bases.

[Brian Green]

Gosh. All right, bye, Candle cane. Best to you. All right. Chrissy and I will be back next week despite all the festivities.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Tuesday.

[Brian Green]

Tuesday. Wish you nothing but the best. Have a good weekend. Keep your hats on South Georgia. Sean, best to you. Best to everybody in the group in the stream right now. Keep your hats on. We will survive this, whatever this is. We'll all figure it out, get through it together. Go vote. Register to vote. Make sure you're registered to vote. Make sure you know where you're gonna vote. And go vote no matter what. No matter what. Go vote. No matter who's standing there. No matter what. Guns are out front. Go vote. That's what we got to do. That's what we got to do.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

And I think Republicans and Democrats are both starting to realize this is what we got to do. We got a change that got to come. And let's get all those old farts out of there. They're all no good. They're all doing nothing. Get them out of there. We need fresh, young blood.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. If you've been a senator for 48 years. It's time for you to go do something else.

[Sam]

Else.

[Brian Green]

It's time for you to go retire, play some golf. You know, you made enough money. Add the commercial break on Instagram tcbpodcast.com for your free sticker and all the audio and all the video and YouTube.com they commercial break for all the episodes and streaming. Okay, Chrissy. That's all I can do for today.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

I'll tell you that I love you.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley]

I love you.

[Brian Green]

I'll say best to you, best to you out there on the podcast, the Streaming Universe. Until next time, Chrissy and I will say, we do say, and we must say goodbye.

[Sam]

Sam.
