If there's one thing we've learned from the entertainment industry, it's just how easy it is to earn a reputation, even if it doesn't reflect who you really are. For example, everyone thinks that Discover is a card that isn't widely accepted, but in reality, it's accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide. Yeah, 99%.

In breaking news, the whole world is talking about the astronauts who became astronauts by not even traveling to space. In a giant leap forward for humanity, these five brave souls took a Very short plane flight, risking life, limb and pedicures, and somehow managed to find a way back to earth, safely leaving the entire world in awe and not a dry eye in the house. Our intrepid WSHIT reporter on the ground managed to catch some of the first words out of one of these astronauts mouths. Words that will certainly be written about and remembered in the history books. These words are already reverberating around the entire globe. Such profundity could only be expected from someone who experienced such a journey. Let's listen to that clip now.
Katy Perry
Or officially an astronaut. Thank you so much. How do you feel? I feel super connected to love. So, so connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you, like how much love you have to give and how loved you are until the day you launch.
Brian Green
The astronauts went on to say that they only survived the ordeal because they hung onto their motto of taking up space. Taking up space indeed. These brave humans truly are putting the ass back in astronaut. We'll be back after this commercial break. On this episode of the commercial break, that is the one thing that I will say about this is think whoever that you pray to or meditate to, they did come back alive. And deep breath, Brian. I'm just as vapid as I thought I was. So self important. Thank God. Thank God me, Katy Perry did not blow up because I put the ass back in astronaut.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
She's got Florence Sanchez on like high heeled boots too.
Brian Green
Yeah. Cause that's what you wear to space. That's the all purpose shoes you want to take to space. It's high heel boots. Oh my God. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Chrissy Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Best to you Brian.
Brian Green
And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. I don't want to delay right now, Chrissy. I want to get into it because there's a lot of, there's a lot of conversation that's going around about our fearless cackle of geese that went to the flight. Yes. That went to the Carmen line. It's also known as space to some people. Not to me, but to some people also known as space. How do you feel about that? Did they go to space or did they not go to space? Or is that not for you to figure out?
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I mean it's, you know, I mean they went up really, really high. I don't know if I would consider that.
Brian Green
Space. I think that's a good way of putting it. They went up really, really high.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I would not consider that necessarily. Space.
Brian Green
No, I don't think it's space. You know, there are people that actually have been to space, people that have like slipped the surly bonds of Earth. So as Reagan said after the Challenger space shuttle disaster, which by the way, I remember watching that live and how emotional that moment was, even as a seven year old or however old I was. That was, that was intense, that whole Challenger thing. Those people on their way to space.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
Katy Perry, the morning news anchor of Oprah's best friend and the girlfriend of the rocket Dick owner, not necessarily heading off to space. And I find this to be an exercise in futility and opulence.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
And there's been a lot of blowback. Yes, there has.
Brian Green
And I think rightfully so, if I'm being honest. I think rightfully so. I don't argue anybody's right to go to space.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah, no, but why didn't they just say we just wanted to do this and like go up really, really high?
Brian Green
Yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
They're on the best ride of our lives.
Brian Green
We're going on a really cool roller coaster that cost a billion and a half dollars to complete this journey from one end to the other. Instead, they're acting as if they're the first people to step on Mars. And it's ridiculous how self important all these people just think they are when there are so many things going on in this universe that need addressing.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
The resources.
Brian Green
Yeah, the resources, the time, the air time. The Kardashians did the play by play. That's all you got to know about this is the Kardashians. The noted rocket scientist Kim Kardashian and her mother. Yeah. Were invited to do the commentary on the space mission liftoff thing. And it was just about as dumb as it was a PR stunt. Like I have never seen really. I mean, since the Tyson Paul brother fight, I have never seen a PR stunt so stupid in my entire life. But that's the name of the game in 2025. How dumb can you be and draw as much attention to yourself as possible? But what really caps this off? Listen, I think if they had gone to space and then told everybody post. If they had gone to the Carmen line and told everybody post Carmen line, hey, you know what I did? I got a ride on a rocket ship and it was really cool, you know, didn't really mean anything. But at least I took a ride. We did it. Congratulations. But all the hype leading up to it, all the press leading up to it, and then the press afterwards puts the icing on the cake. Now, I know you've seen some of this, but I wanted to quickly get into reviewing the press conference. The absolute fluffing that took place after these ladies landed on Earth. Now we're in a very staged. I just want to set it up for the listener. You can go to YouTube.com the commercial break. We're on a stage. It's very staged. There are cactuses on each end. Because they're in the desert. They have to let you, you know, they're in the desert. There's a huge image of the penis in right behind Katy Perry's head. Yes. And then the audience is filled with press and family and friends. So all the other rich folks are in there also applauding the journey to nowhere, essentially. So I'm going to skip all of the complete nonsense that is the human being. I think she's a sports reporter for espn. She is doing the, like, interview. Yeah, she's the interview. She is the moderator of this panel. All the. I'm not going to call them astronauts. All the ladies who went on the ship, on the dick ship, they're all sitting there in their spacesuits, which are highly tailored to their physical forms. I mean.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah, well, apparently Sanchez, what's her. Lauren.
Brian Green
Lauren Sanchez, Yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
She designed or got the, you know, commissioned the design and.
Brian Green
Oh, my God. Honestly, it looks like they're posing for an Instagram. It looks like they're Instagram influencers in these. That is not a spaceship suit. I mean, listen, I also don't argue that astronauts should be comfortable and look good doing their job. But this is so. These are so highly tailored. Like, every inch of Katy Perry is seen in this high.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Lauren. Yeah.
Brian Green
Tight fitting space. Anyway. Okay, here we go. Ready? I'm going to skip all the fluff. We're about 10 minutes in. They're getting to the question and answer part. First we're going to hear from Lauren Sanchez, us, then Katy Perry. Then, if we cannot throw up on ourselves, we'll eventually get to Oprah's best friend. Okay, here we go. And bear with me, I got to jump around this a little bit. And since I'm not, you know, we're not. I'm not Howard Stern. I don't have the ability to just like jump from one clip to the next. I'm going to have to scroll through. So hold on here okay.
Katy Perry
What about as I heard you speaking and I want to get into it with all of you guys. First of all, just I felt like, yes, please.
Brian Green
I want to get into it. I want to take a deep dive on your shallow flight.
Katy Perry
We should all do one big breath in and one breath out.
Brian Green
Oh, my God. Could you please breath in?
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Breath.
Brian Green
Why don't you just lick the shaft of Jeff Bezos? Why don't you do that? Everybody bending to the will of everybody else. Why not be an actual reporter and go, was this a trip to space? Really? That's the first question I would ask.
Katy Perry
It's like collective sigh of relief that you guys are back. That you are.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
That what? It didn't blow up.
Brian Green
Yeah, that it didn't blow up. Well, you know what?
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Know what else could have happened?
Brian Green
Exactly?
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Like a big sigh of relief. You were supposed to come back down.
Brian Green
After seven seconds in space. Yeah. With absolutely no images to prove that you were there.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
That is the one thing that I will say about this is think whoever that you pray to or meditate to, they did come back alive.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Deep breath, Brian.
Brian Green
I'm just as vapid as I thought I was. So self important. Thank God. Thank God. Me, Katy Perry to not blow up because I put the ass back in astronaut.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
She's put Florence Sanchez on like high heeled boots too.
Brian Green
Yeah. Cause that's what you wear to space. That's the all purpose shoes you want to take to space. It's high heel boots. Oh, my God.
Katy Perry
Just this incredible experience that you've had. And I know all your friends and family that are here in the front few rows also feel like we should just take a deep breath. So shall we do it? Okay. I'm gonna count down from three. We're gonna breathe in and out. I love yoga. Here we go.
Brian Green
Oh, my God. I'm already sick to my stomach about this.
Katy Perry
Three, two, one. All right. Don't we all feel better?
Brian Green
Okay. Don't we all feel better? Aren't I doing a great job of conducting this press conference? Professional. Am I okay?
Katy Perry
I know I do, Lauren.
Brian Green
I know I do. Well, thank God for me.
Katy Perry
Congratulations.
Brian Green
I love yoga, by the way.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Congratulations.
Brian Green
I love yoga and long walks on the beach.
Katy Perry
I wanted to start with you in researching.
Brian Green
I want to. I have to start with you because Jeff told me to start with you.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah.
Katy Perry
This entire process. I heard a lot about the overview effect, and it was something that I didn't know anything about. But what I have learned that you.
Brian Green
Learned with a T. Well, that's all it was right.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
It was to go up there and see the curvature of space.
Brian Green
By the way, there are pictures. You can do that. There are pictures. Other people have taken pictures now we'll.
Katy Perry
Be able to share, to experience is because when people that go up to base and see Earth from space, they come back and their perception of Earth is different. How has your perception.
Brian Green
Amazing.
Katy Perry
Of Earth change now? I know, albeit it's only an hour or so since you've been back, but how do you feel? Yeah, definitely still processing.
Lauren Sanchez
Right?
Katy Perry
We all talked about that.
Brian Green
We all had a little pow wow before we came out, got Botox and then we came. We got additional Botox. Holy shit.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Cat lady on the way to cat lady. On the way to cat lady.
Katy Perry
Profound is like the one word I would use.
Brian Green
That's the one word I was thinking too, when I was thinking about this flight is how profound it all really was There.
Katy Perry
And you see Earth and then, you know it's completely black. But what we got was the moon.
Brian Green
It's space.
Katy Perry
We got to see the moon. And it was in complete and utterance, darkness. And then you look back at Earth and it's like this beautiful.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Like the pictures have shown.
Brian Green
Just like when I go out on my back porch, the moon is behind complete darkness. Something I hadn't realized till now. Chrissy. It's the overview effect. When I see a presentation and it has the word overview on it, I completely blank out.
Katy Perry
It was quiet. It felt like it was breathing. It was so alive.
Brian Green
I heard that those microphones on that ship and all that was going on was screaming for three and a half straight minutes. You guys were. You ladies were screaming at the top of your lungs.
Katy Perry
And that's kind of what I felt, just this aliveness of Earth. But you look at it and you go, wait a second, we're all on this planet, all the people that we love. This is it. And that's. I was like.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
And that's why I came back. And now I want to help the guy from El Salvador.
Brian Green
That's right. I want to come back. And now I'm going to help Jeff get.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I've got to get back to planning my wedding.
Brian Green
I've got to get back to a state dinner with Trump and Melania. I'm sorry, I've got things to do, places to go. Imagine all the people are still stuck on Earth.
Katy Perry
We have one planet. Because out there it's dark. It is. You know, William Shatner even said this when he went to space. And now I understand what he was talking about it's like death and.
Brian Green
Katy Perry in the audience.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
It's like death.
Brian Green
I don't even understand what she said, but it sounded really pretty.
Katy Perry
No, it just made me want to understand. Oh, yeah. I just come back with an open heart and it really opened me wide open. And hopefully I can bring that to other people and also just protect.
Brian Green
Yeah, there's a lot of other people that could use that open heart empathy. I look forward to seeing it.
Katy Perry
Planet we're on, I mean, this is the only one we've got. So I'm completely, completely and utterly humbled by this experience.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
That's why the yacht that I get.
Brian Green
On next week, the yacht that consumes 75 million gallons of diesel every five minutes. And by the way, we're going to make the boxes even bigger for Amazon. You ordered one razor. A 12 foot by 12 foot by 12 foot box. Yes.
Katy Perry
Wow. And beyond grateful. Absolutely. There are so many people on this planet that you love and care about. You have one in particular that you would like to highlight. Who is that?
Brian Green
Who is that? There's so many people on this planet that you love. Which other planet did you assume those people were gonna be on?
Katy Perry
What?
Brian Green
Dumb Paris conference.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Tell us who all you love.
Brian Green
Oh, my God. We're gonna have to watch. We're gonna have a palette cleanser with an actual astronaut space conference.
Katy Perry
Oh, I get to do that right now? Yeah. Oh, okay.
Brian Green
Oh, this wasn't completely planned out ahead of time.
Katy Perry
Oh. There is one person who I. Let me just. I was in community college. I'll say this really quick so everyone has a chance to talk up here. I don't want to take up a lot of time. And she saw a little girl in the back of the room who never felt like she belonged and pulled her up. And she got me tested for dyslexia, and my life kind of took off from there. And Laurie, if you're here, I flew this feather to space for you.
Brian Green
She pulled me up from the doldrums of private school and hoisted me right into the arms of the world's richest man. And I took a space dick to the Carmen line.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Christine, this feather's for you.
Brian Green
And this feather, I'm not giving it back to you, but I just want you to know I flew it to space.
Katy Perry
Laurie, there you are. Everybody put your hands together for Lauren's. I can give it to you later. I can give it to you later. But I just want you to know.
Brian Green
Put your hands together, please, for the lady that we're talking about. This Moderator.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Unbelievable. She's not moderating anything. She's like that moderator at the PodFest conference.
Katy Perry
This teacher changed here. We can pass it back. She changed my life.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
We can pass it back.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. Let's handle all that minutia while we're all watching.
Katy Perry
For all of you teachers out there, just know that you have such an impact on the kids in your classroom. And that's why we cut the Education Department.
Brian Green
That's why we've taken the Education Department, thrown it in the trash.
Katy Perry
Lori, thank you so much for. For seeing the little girl in the back who didn't think she belonged a. Thank you, Lori. Thank you. Thank you, Lauren, for sharing that. I know that we.
Brian Green
Thank you. I'm sorry that you're so poor because you're a teacher.
Katy Perry
All had the incredible privilege of seeing you guys go up. But we.
Brian Green
But I want to skip over to Katie because she's important.
Katy Perry
Get to see what was happening inside the capsule. So why don't we take a look at that video right now?
Lauren Sanchez
We haven't seen it.
Brian Green
I want to see it myself.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
You were weightless.
Katy Perry
One, two, three.
Brian Green
Take a space. She's got a. She's got a fucking dandelion in her hair.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
It's a daisy, and her daughter's name is Daisy. That's not to die, but this is.
Brian Green
How profound. How absolutely profound. They don't even really look like they're weightless. They're kind of like a little bit floating in space, but I guess gravity's still holding you down a little bit.
Katy Perry
Oh, the moon, you guys.
Brian Green
I don't have to tell you.
Katy Perry
Look at the moon.
Brian Green
Look.
Katy Perry
Okay.
Brian Green
God, it's like riding in a car with one of my kids. Look at the moon, dad. Look at the moon. Look, look, look, look. Look at the moon.
Lauren Sanchez
Oh, my gosh.
Brian Green
Rather than focusing on the. What you seeing is a bunch of people who are showing the. They're showing off for the camera. That's what they're doing. Not paying attention. There's no profundity in the moment. They are not. Lauren Sanchez is not coming to a realization about how many. How it's one Earth and it's breathing. They are literally mugging for the camera because this is the best Instagram reel ever. Thank you so much.
Lauren Sanchez
Whoa.
Katy Perry
That's amazing.
Brian Green
So far, Katy Perry has shown 15 things to the camera and is paying no attention to what's going on outside. There's only three and a half minutes to be in up there. I would not. I wouldn't give a shit about the camera.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Wow, wow, wow, wow. So incredible. Just what a moment for humanity.
Katy Perry
Katie's face says it all right there. So, Katie, I'll jump to you for a comment. You holding up that Daisy. I know you got to tell me outside the capsule how important that was. Not only.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
And actually like to hear from the other people that weren't.
Brian Green
Well, good luck with that because they know exactly what this is. It's a PR stunt and they need the pr. And so Lauren gets to talk first. She is the boy. She is the girlfriend of Jeff Bezos. Katie gets to talk second because she's in the famous line. The second one down. Well, she's really the most famous. But right. You know, Lauren has to talk first.
Katy Perry
But everything that it encompasses for you and I would love for you to share it with the.
Brian Green
You can make a rocket go to the moon, but you can't make a microphone work for five minutes.
Katy Perry
I don't know if I can cry anymore.
Lauren Sanchez
Daisies.
Katy Perry
Some. Sometimes people consider daisies weeds because they grow everywhere.
Brian Green
Oh, here we go. With some long winded explanation about why daisies are so important and through everything. And they show up and they in.
Katy Perry
So many different places. But daisies are just so resilient.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I know it.
Katy Perry
Flowers for me, I believe are. Are like God's laughter and God's smile. And I brought a daisy because I have so much love for my daughter Daisy. And I have so much love for mother Earth. And I believe you can.
Brian Green
And that's why I took a completely pointless, vapid exploration into high atmosphere, burning a bunch of fuel, resources, time, energy and money.
Katy Perry
See the beauty in the mother Earth in a single resilient daisy. That's why I brought it. It's beautiful.
Brian Green
It's beautiful.
Katy Perry
When you saw even just a snippet of that right there. First of all, congratulations. You did it. You did it. You did it.
Brian Green
You did what? What?
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I don't know. You got all that.
Brian Green
You sat in the seat. Yeah, yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
No.
Brian Green
What? What? No.
Lauren Sanchez
What's.
Brian Green
What's funny about this, Chris?
Lauren Sanchez
Is that our instructor?
Brian Green
Please tell us what's funn. Sarah, my new best friend said you are my most success story because I've.
Lauren Sanchez
Never trained anyone that was afraid to.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Fly was a nervous flyer.
Brian Green
So I consider you a big success.
Lauren Sanchez
And I'm so proud of us.
Brian Green
I really am proud of me because I never in a gazillion years and.
Lauren Sanchez
I just saw a video of us walking up the.
Brian Green
I don't want to call it plank.
Katy Perry
But what do you.
Lauren Sanchez
What's the Proper. What's the proper thing?
Brian Green
Lauren? Sounds like they got a lot of training.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I don't know.
Brian Green
It sounds like they got a ton of training. I don't even know what it's called.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
That's right.
Katy Perry
You can call it. You can call it anything you want. You're an asshole.
Brian Green
But walk.
Lauren Sanchez
Dancing on the threshold, walking up the platform, and people are ringing the bell.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
And everybody's smiling and I'm just walking.
Lauren Sanchez
In and it's because at that moment.
Katy Perry
I was so afraid.
Brian Green
I just wanted to get into my seat because I just wanted to let.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
The training kick in.
Lauren Sanchez
I. I just wanted.
Brian Green
What training? What training? Do you need to go do nothing? Learn how to sit? Do you have to learn how to sit, Chrissy, to get inside the capsule and sit down, you need to learn.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
How to sit down.
Brian Green
I don't know why this charges me up so much, but it charges me up. I just feel like. Like this is such a waste of our collective time.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah. Walking up there was a little daunting.
Brian Green
For me, and here I am spending time on this. But, yeah, you gotta. But I. At least I have content to create. My friend is from Germany, so, you know, you have to appreciate the sense of humor.
Lauren Sanchez
He says once you get there, you're.
Brian Green
Gonna feel like it's sex with the gods.
Lauren Sanchez
Well, that's.
Brian Green
Never had sex with a God, to my knowledge.
Lauren Sanchez
So thank you for the visual.
Brian Green
I didn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a daisy. It's a weed everywhere. It grows everywhere. It grows under our feet and in the flowers.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
So there was death out there. Katie has said daisies. Daisies. And Gail saying sex with fucking the gods.
Brian Green
That's right. Think that. But I do did think Neil Armstrong would be proud that what all the.
Lauren Sanchez
Stuff that you hear about the blackness.
Brian Green
And the blue is.
Katy Perry
Is.
Brian Green
It's a neon blue and it's still and it's quiet. And we were all feeling this experience together.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I know I will never forget it.
Brian Green
There was cackling going on the entire time. What do you mean, still and quiet? There was nothing quiet about that flight for me.
Lauren Sanchez
It just says to me, if I can do this. I was telling. I was telling these guys, I might.
Brian Green
Even now get my ears pierced.
Lauren Sanchez
I've never gotten my ears pierced.
Brian Green
Oh, wow.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Look.
Brian Green
With that one small step. One small step for man. Yes. This is unbelievable. I hope Christa McAuliffe is not watching this. I hope she's moved on in the ethers, because Krista McAuliffe, a teacher who spent a year training to go up in space, one year away from her family and died a horrific, terrible death in front of of hundreds of millions of people. A true saint, kissing the stars slip the surly bonds as Reagan said was going up there to advance man's understanding of humanity in space and possibly onto the next step. She did it. And that is a woman who certainly advanced the causes in so many ways and became a martyr in the process for manned space flight. These ladies, while one, while wonderful in their own right, in their own professions, singer, you know, press person, boy, girlfriend of the richest man in the world, while wonderful in their own professions, did zero for anything yesterday except cause a bunch of ruckus. And now sitting there sounding so self important, it just makes them all sound vapid. If I'm being to me, it makes them sound vapid. So Christa McAuliffe, the real hero, I say we should remember her today. And that is what I have to say about that. Krista.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
That's right.
Brian Green
Now let's get on to a vapid man. Let's move on from the vapid women. Let's get on to the vapid men. Frankie B. I have one in my pocket. I said we've done all the Frankie B's, but I'm really, I'm like a. I'm like a father saving the last cookies, hiding them away for a rainy day. That's right, for a rainy day. And I have a video that I've been keeping in my pocket from Frankie B. And so from listener request, Frankie B Video when we get back. Stay tuned.

This episode is sponsored in part by Chime Checking. A few years ago, I was doing my end of the year bookkeeping and I got white hot when I realized that I had spent hundreds of dollars in banking and overdraft fees on one of our checking accounts.

All right, from one self important video to another, Chrissy I felt, you know, it's only fair that we take a potshot at the dipshit guys that are out there too. And our favorite dipshit, Frankie B. Well, not a new video has an older video that we actually unbelievably haven't reviewed before. And so I give it no preface, I give it no conversation. Let's just get Right into it. This is how to be. Well, I'll say this, it's how to be fashionable and fit it for men over 50.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
Some tips and tricks, Chrissy, on how you too can, you know, get that.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Navigate the world.
Brian Green
That's right. Bed those 20 year olds even well into your 50s. Look at that hair. That hair is a masterpiece. It looks like ocean waves.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Classic.
Brian Green
Gray background, black shirt, gray background. Ready to rock. Here we go. Oh, God, I love Frank. Frankie.
Lauren Sanchez
So in today's video, guys, we're gonna go over nine simple things that guys over 50 can do to look better.
Brian Green
Guarantee it won't be nine, guarantee it won't be simple and guarantee it won't work. I do have to, I do have to say I'm a. I'm a fan of the old intro. Like this is the older intro and I'm a fan of it. He's.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
He's got scissors, like cutting scissor hands.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
To the camera, even though he doesn't cut hair.
Brian Green
Who decided to put that in the intro anyway? Was that it had to have been him.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah, him rising up out of the.
Brian Green
Pool like a Creed video. I love it. I love it.
Lauren Sanchez
What's going on, everybody?
Brian Green
What's up, everybody?
Lauren Sanchez
Welcome to today's video.
Brian Green
What's up, everybody? I've been up since yesterday at 4:00.
Lauren Sanchez
Yo, if this is your first time here, my name is Frank Bernardo and this channel is geared for all guys out there, 50 and above who want to up their game, look and feel better about themselves. But hold on, dudes, if you're a guy in your mid-30s or if you're even in your 40s, don't turn this.
Brian Green
But hold on, dudes, if you're a guy in your mid-30s, I can only imagine that some guy in his mid-30s stumbled upon this video and said, wait, there might be information in here for me.
Lauren Sanchez
Chrissy, video off. Because it's going to contain some super valuable information that's going to catapult your ass all the way up to the 50 and above club.
Brian Green
It's going to catapult you just like Kate, Katy Perry on the dick ship in style.
Lauren Sanchez
My take on this is far too many guys, once they enter into their 50s, you get complacent.
Brian Green
Everything I do get complacent all the time, Chrissy. Well into my 40s and I'm complacent.
Lauren Sanchez
Well, I got a wife that I've had for 25 years. I got an old bag.
Brian Green
It's getting fat and ugly.
Lauren Sanchez
I've had the same job now for 25 years too. Everything is perfect. Perfect. I don't have to worry. My wife's not gonna replace me. My work, they're never gonna get rid of me. I'm too good for them. Shame on you. If you are the image you.
Brian Green
Of.
Lauren Sanchez
A company, let's just sit here in sales. And you have let yourself go now for years and years and years. You're probably overweight, your hygiene is terrible. You probably drop dress like shit.
Brian Green
What the fuck does that have to do with your job? You dress like shit, your wife is fat, you're ugly, you're hygiene. You got pimples on your nose.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Stop brushing your teeth, please.
Brian Green
When's the last time you put on deodorant? I can smell you from here. But stick around. I got some useful tips.
Lauren Sanchez
How long do you think your company is going to want that image? Okay. And when you finally realize that you you're in trouble, it's probably going to be too late. So, guys, in today's video, I put together nine things that guys over 50 need to do daily, weekly, monthly in order to not let in or what I just talked about happen before we get into them.
Brian Green
Frankie loses letters in words. Have you noticed this? It's like my favorite part about him speaking. It's like one of my kids who's just learning how to talk and they say things funny. So does Frankie. Now I also misspeak a lot too. So I'm not throwing stones in a glass house. It's almost endearing. It's a little cute order in order to do things. Speak of this video, by the way, nothing like the double bracelet on a man. Oh yeah, yeah, we get what's better than one two bracelets.
Lauren Sanchez
Oh, let me remind you, if you.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Do like it, it's probably rings on there too.
Brian Green
Oh yeah, it never went out of fashion. Even though in the 90s everybody was wearing multiple rings. Chrissy, for Frankie, it never went out of fashion.
Lauren Sanchez
Give it one of, please, and hit the subscribe bell so you don't miss.
Brian Green
Any of the subscribe bell.
Lauren Sanchez
My upcoming videos. All right, cowboys. So the first thing we're going to talk about is grooming. And this is a known fact that guys in their 50s completely forget about this.
Brian Green
That is not a known fact. No one has forgotten about grooming. My father is in his 70s and he still grooms himself. Yes. What the fuck is he talking about?
Lauren Sanchez
Your hair in your nose, your ears in your eyebrows grows at almost twice the clip as it did when you're in your.
Brian Green
Well, he's right about that. It's weird. As you get older and this doesn't happen in your 50s. This happens in your, like, late 20s. All of a sudden, the hair on your head stops growing. But that one hair in your ear, it shows up overnight.
Lauren Sanchez
20S, in your 30s, and before you know it, you. You got this monster face going on. There's Nothing.
Brian Green
I'm over 50 and I forgot how to gr.
Lauren Sanchez
That bugs me more is when I'm talking to a guy, okay? And all I can see are his nose hairs or his.
Brian Green
It's me, man, over 50 with lots of nose hair.
Lauren Sanchez
Your hairs. Or let's go with these giant eyebrows, okay? It's like, what's he talking about? Because I'm so focused on what the hell is going on with this guy's face. It's like the only thing going through my mind is, does he groom? And if you are an older guy and you're going out on a date.
Brian Green
Frankie can't hold a conversation because he's too worried about your skin care routine.
Lauren Sanchez
Yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
He's going over the terms of his.
Brian Green
Will, the terms and conditions, and you're.
Lauren Sanchez
Not paying attention to this. Trust me, she's looking at it. So really pay attention to your grooming. The second thing we're going to talk about is your.
Brian Green
So, so far. Yeah. Hook em. Horns. Second thing, hairstyle.
Lauren Sanchez
So, guys, if you've had that same haircut year after year, cut by the same stylist year after year, maybe it's time for a new stylist. If that girl or your barber has not suggested something new to you so.
Brian Green
Far, put on deodorant and change your Silas. If your Silas isn't working. Yes.
Lauren Sanchez
And they're not doing their job, and you guys are all together collectively in a rut. I think you maybe need to change it up a little bit. Why don't you get yourself a magazine, look through some hairstyles.
Brian Green
Go get yourself a magazine. Go on BMG music and order 100 CDs for a penny. Change up your music style.
Lauren Sanchez
Watch some videos for. For haircuts and styles for guys over 50. I guarantee you, you will find something in there that you're going to see.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
You that they're not. They don't have Frankie's style.
Brian Green
Yeah. I can guarantee you they don't have Frankie style. And I can guarantee you you can't find a magazine anymore, Frankie. I mean, magazines just don't exist.
Lauren Sanchez
That's gonna look good on me. But, guys, you won't know until you try. So definitely change up your hairstyle. The third thing we're going to talk about is skin care. I venture to say that 99 of you guys don't even give a rest. Ass about your skin.
Brian Green
Rants. Ass about your skin. I like the way he said that. You don't get right.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
There are plenty of men that I know care about their skin.
Brian Green
Yeah, Frankie, Chrissy, you're just not paying attention out there. Most guys literally don't even know they have skin. It's a fact, a known fact.
Lauren Sanchez
And this is where you're really looked.
Brian Green
At the men's magazines lately, Chrissy. It's a known fact.
Lauren Sanchez
Listen to both. Because if you have old weather dried, cracky skin, you're just looking older than you already are.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
And unfortunately the guy that he is painting really is in bad shape.
Brian Green
The guy that he is painting old.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Weathered, cracked face is the typical orange beach blasting out of the nose, ear hair blasting out. Old, you know, no hygiene, not brushing your teeth. Hair, old style hair. I mean, wow.
Brian Green
Yeah, he's really painting the picture of like an incel that lives in his mom's basement. Me, I don't think most men are like that.
Lauren Sanchez
If you keep letting it go, the older you get, the harder it's going to be to reverse it. And before you know it, it's going to be way too late. But if you attack it now, you can still save yourself. And it all starts with drinking water. That's the number one thing in having gorgeous good looking skin. That's right, guys.
Brian Green
I, that is a good tip. Yeah, drink a lot of water. Right?
Lauren Sanchez
Gorgeous good looking skin. And there's nothing wrong with do your.
Brian Green
Avocado eggs, man, having great skin.
Lauren Sanchez
Like I said, it all starts with drinking 8 to 10 bottles of water a day.
Brian Green
8 to 10 bottles of water a day. I think, I think that's a little much. Slow down. Don't take medical advice from Frankie, guys.
Lauren Sanchez
That's the first and foremost important thing. Then it goes with having a great, great skincare routine. That's face moisturizers, that's eye creams, it's wrinkle reducing creams. There's a lot of different products out there. Do your own.
Brian Green
Yeah, if you got $6,000 a month to spend. That shit's expensive. I, I looked for an eye cream I don't know, about a week and a half ago. Yeah, yeah, they're $36 for like an ounce. No, it's for an ounce.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
No, I'm saying that is on the low end.
Brian Green
Jeez. It was crazy easy homework.
Lauren Sanchez
But whatever you do, do it.
Brian Green
So I just bought Vaseline, and I smear it all over my eyes at night, and my son is like, what is that?
Lauren Sanchez
I'm like, vaseline morning and do it at night. And soon, guys, you will notice a very wonderful change in the appearance of your skin. So the fourth thing we're going to talk about, guys, it's your body. Most of you are probably.
Brian Green
I love talking about my body, Frankie.
Lauren Sanchez
And you know what? I'm just not happy with it. It. I could do better. But you know what? I'm in my 50s. Why am I going to start now? Where am I going with this? No one cares. My wife, she's happy. I work. They don't give a me. You know, if you're him and ha.
Brian Green
At it, if you're him and humming what if you're him and you're homin, do you him and ha or do you hum and ha? Do you hum and hum?
Lauren Sanchez
It's time to take action and change your body type.
Brian Green
It's not Take action now. Emergency. Pull the ripcord. You're fat, you're ugly, Your skin's a mess. You got nose hair growing out of there. Your job. Your boss is talking about you behind your back.
Lauren Sanchez
Too late. All right? If you are in, your divorce is imminent 50s and you've never done a workout routine, it's not too late to start because you're going to kick yourself right in your balls. Or you kick yourself in your.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Right in the balls.
Brian Green
You're gonna kick yourself right in the balls. That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Lauren Sanchez
Pass. If you waited another two years and then you decide to do it, because at that point, you would have already changed your body. It's taken initiative. It's getting off of your dead ass and getting out of your bullshit comfort zone.
Brian Green
Wow, Frankie. Frankie is charged up about this, by the way. Of all the videos that we have done, and we've done a lot of Frankie B. Videos. This is part of the reason why this is in the back pocket, too, is because some of these tips are actually not that bad. He's like. He's trying to motivate you to understand that first of all, it's not too late to change the way that you. To change your body, be healthier, feel better about yourself, look better on a daily basis. He's going about it a weird way. He's trying to endear himself to the person on the other end by insulting them the entire Time.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah, he's trying to kick people in the ball.
Brian Green
But this is not the worst advice Frankie has ever given. As a matter of fact, I would put it on the top end of advice Frankie has given.
Lauren Sanchez
You're stuck in. It's taking that first step, and once you do it, it'll become habit forming. And then you're not going to want to stop because you're going to start seeing changes in your body. Your clothes are going to fit you better. People are going to notice. People are going to say stuff. Your wife is going to be going, oh, my God, Chacharita. You look fantastic.
Brian Green
Chacharita. That's not a word. Chacharita. I know a lot of Spanish, and I don't think chacharita is a word, but hey, I like it anyway. My wife went, hey, chacha Rita. But I. I say, I've been kicking myself in the balls and trimming my nose hairs.
Lauren Sanchez
Guys, tend the first step. So the fifth thing we're going to talk about, guys, is what you put in your mouth. Now, if you did decide that you are going to go in the gym, you did decide you're going to break your ass. You did decide that you were going.
Brian Green
To break your ass, killer. Nothing like breaking your ass at the gym. All right, I can't wait to see what Frankie puts in his mouth. Let's take a break and we'll be back.

Lauren Sanchez
Then kudos to you. But guess what? You could totally blow that. You could blow it in a New York second when you go home and blow.
Brian Green
What? What are we putting in our mouth, Frankie? Oh, okay.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
The body that you've all of a sudden built up by eating horribly.
Brian Green
Eating horribly. And chachorita over to the gym by breaking your ass and kicking yourself in the balls.
Lauren Sanchez
You eat like shit. All right, it's time to start changing your your eating habits. And we're not going to call it a diet because diets, you're never ever going to hold to them. Everybody breaks a diet. So let's just call it simply changing the way we eat. And it all starts with eliminating all sugars.
Brian Green
All sugars, all sugars, all sugars. I don't care what kind they are. Good, bad, indifferent. All sugars out of your diet. Chrissy, I'm coming over to your house. I'm going to raid your closet.
Lauren Sanchez
Your number one poison. That's your number one demon. That's your number one evil. Get rid of all sugars.
Brian Green
Yeah, you're gonn the number one thing your body craves for energy. Sugar. You can't eliminate all sugar from your diet. It's impossible. But okay, I get what he's saying.
Lauren Sanchez
Go through withdrawals, you're going to go through convulsions. You're going to be going, oh my God, I got to have my sugar. He'll get over it. All right, y'all.
Brian Green
He needs to be a drug counselor. You'll get over it. Yeah. You like heroin? Okay. You'll get over it. Yeah.
Lauren Sanchez
Need to start limiting your carb intake. Okay? You need to start upping your proteins. You need to start more vegetables, lean meats, lean chickens, and drink.
Brian Green
Lean chickens. Where are the fatty chickens? Lean chickens. I didn't know they grew fatty.
Lauren Sanchez
Plenty of water a day. So if you start eating good, wholesome foods that are below your maintenance levels, and you need to find out what your chloretic maintenance level is, it may be 2500 calories, what you need to do.
Brian Green
Chloretic. Yeah, I think that's what I do to my pool. Yeah, I think that's the problem with my green pool is it's not chloretic enough.
Lauren Sanchez
You need to be below that. You need to be below that every day. And if you are, you will continue to lose weight. And the good thing about it, guys, is you are in a gym and you're building muscle. So while you're losing weight, you're building muscle. It's all harmony. You are going to look good.
Brian Green
Because if you.
Lauren Sanchez
One without the other, if you just go on a diet without building muscle, you are going to look creepy. You're going to look saggy. And once you get that creepy, saggy skin, you're never gonna get rid of it. So you need to do both, guys. So the sixth thing we're gonna talk about.
Brian Green
I've seen you with your shirt off, Frankie. Now, it's just a fact of life that all skin is going to start to sag. No matter how in shape you are, it's going to happen.
Lauren Sanchez
Happen is conquering your weak points. Now, I'm not going to get into mine. I certainly have them. And we're not going to get in the ears, because you certainly have them. But let me tell you something, gentlemen. If you have weak points that went from one to six on everything that I just talked about, every item from the first thing I talked about all the way down to the bottom, then, gentlemen, you are in a world of hurt. And there's probably.
Brian Green
If you have a weak point in your week, he's not going to talk about his, and he's not going to talk about yours, but let's talk about yours.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Yeah.
Lauren Sanchez
No hope for you. But all kidding aside, guys, if your weak point is getting to the gym, make that step. If your weak point is eating right, well, make that step. Is it something that you're going to conquer right away? No. Is it something that you're going to conquer completely?
Brian Green
No.
Lauren Sanchez
But you.
Brian Green
Are you going to fail? Yes. Is this a useless exercise in me talking through this camera? Yes, it is. As all my advice, completely nonsense, of course. But give it a try.
Lauren Sanchez
Have to give you.
Brian Green
By the way, he just gave you six steps you can take, and now he's repeating himself. He's just telling you, go back to the six steps. Exactly.
Lauren Sanchez
You have to have the upper hand on it. You got to have control of your weak points or you're going to continue to cave. It's probably safe to say that your weak points are always going to be your weak points, and it's. It's probably never going to go away. It's just basically all about control. So the seventh thing.
Brian Green
Understand a word that he just said.
Lauren Sanchez
Number 50 need to do in order to look better. It's go through your wardrobe. You know, if you're a guy that's shuffling through the closet and you grab a shirt and you look at it and you have to give that shirt a second thought, throw it in the Goodwill bag. Bag. Go to the next shirt, Grab it, look at it. If you go, throw it in the Goodwill bag, because you know what's gonna happen? You are gonna grab that shirt and you are gonna wear it. And that's what most of the.
Brian Green
What are you talking about? You're gonna give it a second thought, but then you are gonna grab it. You are gonna wear it.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
You're gonna wear it. At some point. It's gonna look like shit.
Brian Green
Yeah, listen, he's. This comes from a guy who has worn the same shirt on every video that we have ever done. Yeah.
Lauren Sanchez
The black shirt pluses out there are doing it. They are wearing their old, stale wardrobe, and that's just total taboo. And it shows that you don't give a crap. I mean, guys, in order to make a statement at our age, I believe it all starts with the way a man dresses. It all starts with your shoes. You work that outfit from the shoes.
Brian Green
Oh, I go shoes up. I go dick down. That's what I do. I start with what makes my penis look bigger, and then I work my way down. Yeah. And I don't worry about the top. Yeah. You know, if I'm not going to get them from the waist down, Chrissy, I'm not going to get them.
Lauren Sanchez
All about being in style. Don't be afraid to step outside the box. Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, because that's ultimately going to look better than the crap I think.
Brian Green
These guys you're describing, don't be afraid to step outside, period. Sounds like you're describing a hermit.
Lauren Sanchez
If you've had in your closet for the past several years, this is the only way that you're going to make a statement.
Brian Green
Statement.
Lauren Sanchez
And one thing that holds true to form, guys, is when you do go shopping for clothes, it's all about the fit. If you are a thinner man, okay. Don't wear big baggy clothes to hide your skinniness, okay? Because it actually makes you look worse. Because if you got short sleeves on and the sleeves are way bigger than your arms and they're swimming, it actually makes you look worse. Okay?
Katy Perry
Yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
You need to wear too small shirts.
Brian Green
Yes. Like Frankie, Go2 sizes is smaller than you actually are. And then squeeze every little ounce into it favor.
Lauren Sanchez
Get those sleeves tailored. Have them tuck in.
Brian Green
It'll actually tailor the sleeves on your short sleeve shirt.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Okay?
Brian Green
Yeah. It's going to the extreme level. You're assuming that everyone can afford to buy a new wardrobe every time they don't like a shirt and then go get the sleeves on a short sleeve shirt tailored. Just buy a shirt that fits well.
Lauren Sanchez
Make your arms look better. And if you are a larger man in overweight man, a lot of you guys will try to camouflage your weight with big, drapey, baggy clothes.
Brian Green
Walking around here I come with my nose hair and my sales job and my ugly wife and my moomoo from Walmart applies.
Lauren Sanchez
They actually look a little better. If they're closer to your body, you will look much more structured. Don't, don't, don't be fooled by thinking you whether you're skinny or whether you're big that you can camouflage behind your clothes. Just get the clothes that fit and the right style for you. All right, man. Almost there.
Brian Green
Oh, thank God.
Lauren Sanchez
Each thing that guys need to do over 50 to look better is to definitely finally look at your posture. Posture makes a man. Posture says.
Brian Green
Hunched over 300 pound man with nose hair just like sprouting out of his nose. His wife is like, like something from the blue lagoon. Frankie, you paint a picture, man.
Lauren Sanchez
You really do a lot about the individual.
Brian Green
I think Frankie's under the assumption that a lot of people out there, there are the opposite of what Frankie is. I'm not saying there's a lot of men over 50 that are in such shape because you got to give it to Frankie. He is in good shape. There is no doubt about that. I give him credit where credit is due. He takes care of his skin he's got hair plugs, but that's okay. We're learning to live with Frankie's follicles. He dresses not how I would dress. I can see how that would be attractive in a certain way, shape or form. I would get rid of some of the jewelry and the big belt buckles and stuff like that. But okay, he fits his. He, he fit. His fashion, fits his form. And he's a relatively good looking dude for over whatever he is getting close to 60, I think. But making the assumption that everybody is the opposite I don't think is the right assumption to make. I think most men are somewhere in the middle. They're not exactly taking care of every inch of their body, but they're also not ignoring things like women nose hair growing 3 or 4 inches out of your hair, out of your nose.
Lauren Sanchez
You know, if you are a guy that's constantly slumped over with your shoulders. Me like this, you know, hey, I'm Frank Bernardo. I'm going to do a video on how guys over 50 could look better. You know, you're not looking in the camera. How does that look, guys?
Brian Green
Why would you be looking in the camera? You're also assuming everybody's trying to be an influencer. Right?
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Right.
Lauren Sanchez
Versus your shoulders back. Getting your head up, showing confidence. Well, that's the way it works. Works in everyday life. If you walk in a room and you've got great posture, you're gonna command attention. People are gonna notice that. But if you walk in a room and you're lazy and you're moxy and stuff like that, people aren't even gonna give you mo.
Brian Green
I don't even know what that means. That's not a word either. It's I cha. Cha.
Lauren Sanchez
Do is moxie the time of day. So I would definitely check your posture. Go in a mirror, look at yourself from all angles. You know, if you're. If you are slumped, get your. Get your shoulders back. Okay. It's just a matter of learning.
Brian Green
Yeah. He wants you to put your ass up in the. Squeeze those butt cheeks and get those shoulders backwards.
Lauren Sanchez
Do it. And when you walk, keep your head up, never down. It looks like you're embarrassed, looks like you're hiding something. But when you walk and you're.
Brian Green
He's the Emily. He's the Emily Post of YouTube for over 60.
Lauren Sanchez
Head is up. You're showing confidence and you're showing power. Work on your posture, guys. All right, we are finally at tip number nine. And this is the most powerful tip that I could possibly have.
Brian Green
Oh, here we Go. We've been waiting for this all video. Here it comes. The absolutely useless advice Frankie's about to drop on us for you.
Lauren Sanchez
And that gentleman is confidence. How do I get confident?
Brian Green
Everything's fixed, My life is better, I have confidence.
Lauren Sanchez
Does it just grow on me? I'm going to tell you how you get confidence. If you start doing everything.
Brian Green
Yeah. Cut your nose hairs, go to the gym, start eating. Well, listen, confidence, it's so easy to get, Chrissy. So easy to get, so hard to lose. Once you have it about from steps.
Lauren Sanchez
One to eight, guess what, guys? Confidence will automatically follow because you got great hygiene, you got great skincare, you've got a badass ass haircut, you got.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
A hundred thousand dollars in debt.
Brian Green
You owe Macy's $250,000. You eat Planet Fitness $30,000 like a king.
Lauren Sanchez
And when you eat like a king, you look good and you feel good. You are dressing like a total rock star badass. And most of all, your posture is total, totally killer. So what does all that breed? It breeds confidence.
Brian Green
Because confidence is skin deep based on appearance. Said every therapist ever.
Lauren Sanchez
That's the end of the video, guys. I hope you enjoyed it.
Brian Green
All right, that's the end of the video we did. We really liked it. Thank you.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
All right, Pocket Frankie.
Brian Green
Yeah, yeah, listen, I just wish there was so much more of that dating content that he put out there, because that's where the gold is.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Remember too, that one that we reviewed where he was eating all the stuff that like.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
He was mimicking somebody.
Brian Green
Mimicking somebody that would.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
They would eat. Ho ho.
Brian Green
That's right, Ding Dongs. And I wish we could go back to the good old days of Frankie, but I think the golden age, at least for now, is gone because Frankie has a girlfriend and she won't let him do this anymore. She said do another video and I'm gone.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Rightfully so.
Brian Green
Oh, man, Travel.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
His travel days were good too.
Brian Green
His travel. His travel videos are gold also, but we just not getting any more of it. I guess we'll have to rely on Katy Perry and that group of women to bring us travel videos from now on.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
That's right.
Brian Green
The outer reaches of. Not outer space. There you go. And listen, let me be clear. I'm not beating up on women. I don't want to make it sound like that. They happen to be women. If it was men, I would say the same. I've said the same thing about Shatner's trip too. Yeah, not a. We're not doing anything fantastic. So. But you know, listen, Jeff Bezos can spend his money how he wants to spend his money.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
I just wish they would paint it more as we just wanted to go on this amazing ride.
Brian Green
I wish they would. I wish they would read the room and understand how superfluous it sounds and.
Chrissy Joy Hoadley
Is and maybe not make such a moment.
Brian Green
Yeah, like Katie could say, yeah, I went to the Carmen line. It was beautiful. It was awesome. It made me realize that we really got to take care of mother Earth. And it also made me realize that there's a lot of things down here on earth that need attention. So let's get to that right now. Let's spend our time and resources doing some good out there. And what that is, that looks like, that looks different for everybody. But to make it sound like bringing a daisy in space was changed, humanity forever is just dumb. Dumb as Frankie. Okay. May 31st, 12 hours of TCB. Maybe call it a baker's dozen. We just don't know. Will we even get through 12 hours? I don't know. You, you tune in and figure it out.

Brian Green

If you don't know me, it's probably because I'm not famous. But I did start a men's grooming company called Harry's.

Here's our secret. We make sure sharp, durable blades and sell them at honest prices for as low as $2 each. We care about quality so much that we do some crazy things like buy a world class German blade factory. Obsessing over every detail means we're confident in offering a 100% quality guarantee. Millions of guys have already made the switch to Harry's, so thank you. If you're one of them. And if you're not, we hope you give us a try with this special offer. Get a Harry starter set with a five blade razor weighted hand shave gel and a travel cover, all for just three bucks plus free shipping. Just go to Harry's.com and enter code man at checkout.

Podcast Summary: The Commercial Break – "Frankie B Is Also, Taking Up Space!"
Release Date: April 18, 2025
In this episode of The Commercial Break, hosts Bryan Green and Chrissy Joy Hoadley dive into two main segments: a satirical analysis of a high-profile celebrity space mission and a humorous critique of Frankie B’s latest video on men’s grooming for those over 50. True to their improv-comedy style, the duo blends sharp wit with insightful commentary, maintaining the podcast’s signature chaotic and unpolished charm.
Timestamp: 00:00 – 04:00
The episode opens with Bryan Green humorously mocking a fictional news segment about Katy Perry’s brief foray into space. He parodies a press conference where Perry, alongside Lauren Sanchez, discusses their "astronaut" experience. The hosts quickly transition from the spoof to a critical discussion:
Bryan Green (04:13):
"Think whoever that you pray to or meditate to, they did come back alive. And deep breath, Brian. I'm just as vapid as I thought I was."
Chrissy Joy Hoadley (04:13):
"She's got Florence Sanchez on like high-heeled boots too."
The hosts express skepticism about the authenticity and purpose of the mission, labeling it a "PR stunt" designed more for publicity than genuine space exploration. They highlight the superficial aspects of the endeavor, such as the tailored spacesuits and the involvement of celebrities, suggesting that the mission lacks the profundity and scientific merit of actual spaceflights.
Bryan Green (06:10):
"I find this to be an exercise in futility and opulence."
The discussion underscores frustration with how celebrity culture often intersects with significant achievements, reducing them to mere spectacles. They lament the waste of resources and time, contrasting it with the emotional and historical significance of genuine space missions like that of Christa McAuliffe.
Bryan Green (25:05):
"These ladies... did zero for anything yesterday except cause a bunch of ruckus."
The segment concludes with a call to remember true heroes in space exploration, emphasizing the disconnect between commercialized space ventures and their historical counterparts.
Timestamp: 33:05 – 62:00
Transitioning from space to personal grooming, Bryan and Chrissy delve into Frankie B’s video titled "How to Be Fashionable and Fit for Men Over 50." Frankie B, portrayed as a drill sergeant-like figure, offers blunt and unconventional advice aimed at men striving to improve their appearance and confidence.
Lauren Sanchez (35:02):
"Well, I have to make sure I'm not complacent."
Chrissy Joy Hoadley (37:05):
"Okay."
Bryan Green (37:28):
"Rants. Ass about your skin."
Frankie B’s advice covers various aspects:
Grooming:
Emphasizes the importance of managing body hair, skincare routines, and overall hygiene.
Lauren Sanchez (38:31):
"Your hair, in your nose, your ears, your eyebrows grow at almost twice the clip."
Hairstyle:
Encourages men to update their hairstyles and avoid stagnation.
Lauren Sanchez (39:43):
"Guys, if you've had that same haircut year after year, maybe it's time for a new stylist."
Skin Care:
Highlights the necessity of moisturizing, eye creams, and reducing wrinkles.
Lauren Sanchez (42:37):
"Gorgeous good looking skin. And there's nothing wrong with doing your..."
Body Fitness:
Advocates for regular workouts to maintain a healthy physique and boost confidence.
Lauren Sanchez (44:11):
"It's time to take action and change your body type."
Diet:

"Get rid of all sugars."
Posture:
Stresses the impact of good posture on overall appearance and self-assurance.
Lauren Sanchez (57:28):
"Posture says confidence and power."
Wardrobe:
Advises men to curate their closets, ensuring clothes fit well and reflect personal style.
Lauren Sanchez (53:40):
"If you're a guy that's shuffling through the closet and you grab a shirt and you have to give that shirt a second thought, throw it in the Goodwill bag."
Confidence:
Concludes with building confidence through consistent self-improvement practices.
Lauren Sanchez (60:33):
"Confidence will automatically follow because you got great hygiene..."
Bryan Green and Chrissy Joy Hoadley provide comedic interjections and critiques of Frankie B’s harsh delivery, highlighting the satire in his approach. They balance the humor with genuine appreciation for some of the practical advice, acknowledging that while Frankie B’s style is abrasive, the underlying messages hold value.
Bryan Green (45:05):
"But this is not the worst advice Frankie has ever given... he is trying to motivate you."
The segment wraps up with Bryan and Chrissy reflecting on the absurdity yet utility of Frankie B’s tips, maintaining their signature blend of humor and candidness.
Timestamp: 62:00 – End

"May 31st, 12 hours of TCB. Maybe call it a baker's dozen."

Chrissy Joy Hoadley (64:26):
"That's all I can do for now."
Bryan Green (04:13):
"Think whoever that you pray to or meditate to, they did come back alive. And deep breath, Brian. I'm just as vapid as I thought I was."
