Brian Green
So I played with myself next to.
Buck
A hundred other women playing with themselves.
Brian Green
Today and laughed with them and cried with them and screamed with them and became just feral fucking animals in the jungle in Costa Rica. And I feel so bad.
Chrissy
So go masturbating with your friends.
Brian Green
On this episode of the commercial break.
Buck
You take some donuts and some doritos and you put them into a cauldron. Wa bam. You have buck. I take a little seagull cyberlin, a little lsd and some ayahuasca. Wa bam. We're in for the final night of hunting. I'm the forest quantum witch.
Brian Green
Ooh.
Ashton Kushner
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian green. This is the Tommy demise. My tang.
Huckleberry
Chris.
Brian Green
Enjoy. Hopefully. Best to you, Chris.
Chrissy
Oh, bestie Brian, meet me at tang.
Brian Green
Best to you. Oh, yeah, we had a tang twang. You know what a tang twang is? It's a cosmopolitan with orange juice. It's a tang twang. I love it. Little ro, baby ro. Oh, how I wish, how I wish we had been graced with the knowledge or the presence of atomy tangs within 20 miles of us.
Chrissy
We did a little bit more digging.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Chrissy
After hearing about tommy tangs and what a great date night spot.
Brian Green
Hey, listen, everybody, like the tang, everybody was out of the tank.
Chrissy
Yeah, I guess he's a famous thai chef and he opened his own spot out in l. A on melrose.
Brian Green
And they used to say Tuesday at twang tangs, baby, meet Tuesday at tanks. Let's go. Let's hit it.
Chrissy
We would have said that. We would have been every day, man.
Brian Green
I would have been at tanks. You would have fuck, man. I love tang.
Chrissy
You know, there were a couple of people that were tough, total regulars.
Brian Green
Oh, you know, there were a lot more than a couple people. There were a bunch of out of worked actors and actresses and guys who had made like b movies, like directors of b movies back in the 70s who just found themselves bellied up to the tang bar. Yep, to the tang bar top. And just hanging out, regaling people with stories of old Hollywood. I mean, tang's just. I can only imagine. I bet that place of the walls could talk. I want to hear about tank and is there a documentary about tangs? Everything has a documentary. I think I have a documentary. I. I need a documentary about Tommy tanks.
Chrissy
That's what I need. That would be very interesting, Chrissy.
Brian Green
I'm just so disappointed that I never got to a tangs. I mean, really? I've been to the Rusty Nail, though, and The Rusty Nail.
Chrissy
Well, the Rusty Nail might be a good substitute for Tommy T. That place finally closed. Jeez.
Brian Green
It did, yeah. The one on Ross and the one here on Roswell Road in. In Atlanta. Is the one out on Buford highway still open or not? Buford. Whatever that is. Yeah, I think it's Buford Highway.
Chrissy
Oh, I thought there was just one.
Brian Green
No, there's two of them. The Roswell Road one, I believe, was the original that opened in the 70s, 80s. Had to be, because when you walk in.
Chrissy
God.
Brian Green
The Rusty Nail was the divest of dive bars. Some people will claim that Northside Tavern is the divest of dive bars. And it. But Northside Tavern, in its own way, is cosmopolitan.
Chrissy
Yeah. They have live music and Eric Clapton is played. Right.
Brian Green
It's not that divey. Right. It's a dive bar, no doubt. And it's like, you know, you're listening to some of the greatest musicians on earth make their way to Northside Tavern and. But there's pool tables in the middle of the dance floor. I mean, and there's a bar that barely looks like a bar. It looks like someone built it with their own two hands. On a Saturday afternoon. Old wood scraps from the back of a Home Depot.
Chrissy
Crazy. There's graffiti everywhere. It's terrible, but it's kind of their thing.
Brian Green
It's their thing.
Chrissy
It's their thing was just.
Brian Green
The Rusty Nail just got that way. Not because of good music, but because of really bad cover music.
Chrissy
Did they have live bands?
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. The Nail. Yeah. They used to put them right on.
Chrissy
Circular bar, right?
Brian Green
It did have a circular bar, yeah. Yes.
Chrissy
Rachel and I bellied up to that bar.
Brian Green
I can't think of how many hours in my life I wasted at the Rusty Nail.
Chrissy
Yeah, but, you know, like, smoking, drinking.
Brian Green
Smoking, drinking, drugging, doing whatever there, you know. Listen, I've said this about a number of places in Atlanta, and it remains true about all those places. Club, Anytime, Back street. And the Rusty Nail there were. And the speakeasy that used to be here in Buckhead. There are only two reasons to go to the Rusty Nail. You had drugs or you needed them. That was it. That was the only two reasons to go. But once you got, like. Once you kind of got in the. And it was also very cliquish. Like, there were people who were hardcore nail heads. You know what I'm saying? They were the head of a nail. I mean, they were like the Hammers. They were. And if those bar Seats were almost reserved, basically reserved. And there was a couple open for randos. And you had to work, you had to earn your way into a bar seat because it didn't matter what time you went there. If you went there at 12:30 on a Tuesday afternoon, the people who had reserved bar seats were already there.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian Green
Drinking. And there was one lady, and I'll. I'll never forget. I won't say her name here. God rest her soul. She's still alive. I think she passed away. She was in her late 60s and she was the head blow dealer for the Rusty now. And I think to a large extent, the manager, the general managers put up with it because she knew, like, everybody knew. There's no way a place like this survives unless there's a cocaine dealer. No way. No way. People would go in there for no reason. It was. I mean, I don't know. I think at one point, the cushions on the. Whatever you call them, the boots. The boots were made purely of fry grease, spilled Jaeger cocaine and cigarette smoke. It was like, literally, those. That was the place. The carpets had never been changed. The walls had never been changed. Used to be they didn't do this when. By the time I started getting there. But when they first opened, all of the walls were wood. It was wood paneling on the inside of it. And at each table they would have a wood burner. Like one of those things where you could carve your name into the wood with a hot gun. It's just like a thing that would heat up to, you know, the surface temperature of the sun, and then you just burn your name into it. So no matter where you sat, there was always something had been written by somebody. And then people just started using markers after a while. But they had dart boards that had never been changed. Like, you throw the dart and it would just fall. It go right into the bullseye, but it just fall down because there were a million holes, holes in the middle of it. Never changed it. They had. Of course, they had one of those whatever. Not top golf, but, you know, golf pro, whatever, that.
Chrissy
Yeah, yeah. What was that?
Brian Green
Tea.
Chrissy
Golden tea.
Brian Green
Golden tea, that's right. Golden tea. And that was a hot ticket. If you could manage to scoot your way into the Golden Tea, you'd be there for days because you were coked up and nothing better. Exactly right. But that girl, that lady at the.
Chrissy
End of the bar in Nashville, that was very similar.
Brian Green
Yeah, but it was tiny, too. It was like a thousand square feet. There were like five booths, four tables in the middle and that circuit. Two bar tops, two bar tables. And then that circular bar that maybe sat 20 people. Maybe sat 20 people. And then there was a couple of televisions. And those televisions were the furthest thing from flat screen you had ever seen. They still had UHF dials on them. You could tune in UHF channels on those things. And so you'd have to work your way into the respect of the people who were there.
Chrissy
Yeah, you would.
Brian Green
Or. Or you'd walk in there and people would look at you strange. They would. They'd be like, who's this kid? And when you were young, they look at you a certain way. But eventually you'd get an introduction to the dealer at the. You know, you'd have to, like, go through other people. And then eventually you'd get the introduction to the actual lady, and then you could just kind of go up and talk to her yourself. But this went on for years and years and years. I'll never forget, there was a guy who would. When we worked at the restaurant across the street from the Rusty Nail, the Trattoria, the Italian restaurant, we had a bar manager that. We had a manager. They're not a bar manager, but a general manager.
Chrissy
Okay, so look, I'm sorry, I was looking at Brusty now while you were talking. And they closed. They were open for 50 years.
Brian Green
So they did open in the 70s. Yeah, yeah.
Chrissy
After 50 years on Buford Highway.
Brian Green
Okay. And then they closed the one in Roswell, and I think that one was open probably equally as long as. So when we worked at that trattoria, there was a. A manager there. His name was Mike, and he was this slick, talking guy from Chicago, mustache and everything, salt and pepper hair, kind of like diminutive small guy, but he was a sober guy. He had been sober for like 10 years. And he was like hardcore sober, like preaching the A thing all the way, you know. Ah, you kids are gonna get yourself. And you know, you know, you got. You guys gonna get yourself in trouble running all around like that. And we'd be like, okay, okay, whatever. He fell off the wagon one time.
Chrissy
Oh, no.
Brian Green
It fell off the wagon. And we found him at the Nail, and he was just twacked. I mean, he was just like, like literally papered onto one of those bar stools. And we were like, oh, well, you know. But we were young. Mike, what are you doing, dude? He's like, ah, you know, relapse is part of recovery. That's the way it goes. Relapse is part of recovery. You don't worry about it, you know, I got it. Don't worry. I'll be sober in a couple days. Okay. So this bender went on for quite some time. Like a couple weeks. It was a bender. He'd come in hammered at work, he'd be drinking behind the bar. He'd go back to the nail. He had a wife and kids, too. Drove around a Lincoln Town Car. That's the kind of guy this was, right? Always dressed nice, smokes, never without a cigarette in his mouth. Like, just classic Chicago guy. Chicago guy. And one time I was staying, I was living with these dancers, these strippers. I was living with these dancers. I just moved in a couple weeks ago. It's like 4, 5 in the morning, and the phone rings and we're up. Of course we're up. We're up. Phone rings. One of the dancers answers it, and she goes, brian, it's for you. And I had just moved in, so I didn't even know anybody knew the number. And I was like, hello. Ready? Hey there, Brian. It's. It's Mike. Oh, hey, man.
Chrissy
Mike.
Brian Green
Hey, man. Listen, how you doing? Yeah, I'm good. How'd you get this number? One of your friends gave it to me. And just giving you a call. Okay, thanks, Mike. Hey, listen, you doing all right? Yeah, you just asked me that. Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm okay. You okay? Yeah, I'm fine. All right, cool. Listen, you remember how one time you told me you could get, like a couple pounds of cocaine from somebody? No. Yeah. Remember we were talking that one time you told me you could get me a couple pounds of cocaine, all I had to do was like, call you and figure it out for me? No, Mike, I don't ever recall telling you that I could get you any amount of cocaine, let alone pounds of cocaine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember we had the nail that one time and you said there was that girl at the bar and she could, you know, she hooked you up with a couple pounds of cocaine? No, I don't. So you've never done cocaine? You don't. You don't buy or sell cocaine? No, I don't. Okay. All right, well, listen, try and make some calls for me and call me back at this number. He's like, giving me a number and. Exactly. And I hang up the phone and I'm like, what the was that? Yeah, so I tell the girls what just happened, and they're like, he got busted and he's trying to roll over on somebody, and he's trying to roll over on you. And I was like, Whoa. People really hate me. That's fucked up.
Buck
That's up.
Chrissy
Oh, my God.
Brian Green
Never told the guy any of the sort. Yeah, never did. And never did drugs with the guy. I worked for him. He was my general manager. I wasn't even that stupid. I mean, I did. Of course, I did drugs with general managers, but not this one. Because he had sober for so many years, we all felt like it was like a crime against humanity to, like, egg him on. You know what I'm saying? We had some empathy in our hearts, and so. And I also knew he had a wife and kids. I had met his wife, and I was like, you know, I. I just. We never even went there. We'd see him at the bar. He was all twacked out. We'd feel bad for him, and then we'd go work a shift and come back and whatever. But this guy tried to rope me one time. He tried to fucking rope me. Meanwhile, he was supposed to work the very next day. He never showed back up to work, ever. When questioned, the owner was like, I don't know. Like, Tony. Dino Venturi was like, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I get a phone call in the middle of the night, and he says, I don't come into work anymore. I don't know. And I was like, wow. Wow.
Chrissy
Was it a business guy?
Brian Green
Was it a collect call? Yeah, that's all. That's what I mean. That was it. Never knew what happened to Mike. Never followed up. No one ever heard from him. Nothing. Somebody one time came in that supposedly had known him and said he had moved back to Chicago. And I just never believed it. I never believed it. But I think he tried to roll on me when I tried to get me.
Chrissy
That's crazy.
Brian Green
Yeah. Try to get me to say something incriminating so that hopefully he could let himself get out of the situation, whatever situation he had happened to be in. And I was like, wow. And the strange thing was the phone number that he had given me was not his phone number. And I knew his phone number because we had. You know. Back then, you knew people's phone numbers, which is what you did, right. You had it somewhere in a little black book or whatever, a sten pad, or you had your book of phone numbers, or you just knew people you would call frequently. You know, it'd be like, 72-3-3456. Anyway, I hope you're doing well out there, Mike. If you're listening, I hope you're doing well. Thanks for you for trying to roll a 22 year old kid who had nothing to do with your life.
Chrissy
But anyway, I'm glad you didn't know, you know, even say, yes, I think I know where I could get some.
Brian Green
Exactly. I think I knew I was telling the truth. I had never had that conversation. And I had never told him that I was doing drugs. Had, could get him drugs. Never. I mean, the reality was, the reality was I was not a drug dealer. Had I been a drug dealer, I would have done all my drugs, you know what I'm saying? I mean, I think one time I tried to deal something, but I just ended up doing it all. Every, every person who's been into drugs for long enough eventually becomes a drug dealer for like a day. And then you're like, I just did all my profit. It doesn't work out. It never works out. Drug dealers have to be really disciplined about what they do if they're going to be good at it. And you know, but it's 20, 24, maybe you don't have to be so disciplined about it anymore. No one gives a shit anymore. But back then, back then, when we're talking about this time, this period of America, everything was still illegal. You could not be smoking weed riding down I85, every third car just, oh my God, I walked up to Starbucks today. The entire time is just a trail of tears, whereas a pot smoke, I can smell it everywhere. I'm like, oh my God, everyone is smoking weed too.
Chrissy
I was just walking down the street and all of a sudden I smelled it.
Brian Green
I don't understand why it's not legal here yet. I really don't know why we haven't had a referendum on this. It's. Medical marijuana is not even legal in the state of Germany. Not thc. Nope. Hemp is. I think there are some random like, like really stringent circumstances where a doctor can get some kind of medical grade marijuana, but you have to be like dying of cancer for that. It's glaucoma. Like you walk into California. I remember I was in LA and it was like, you know, get your doctor's card here. And I was talking to somebody and they were like, you don't need a doctor's car, dude, it's perfectly legal. And I was like, well then why do they have that? And he's like, well, some people think it's easier to go through those kind of dispensaries, like to go through the medical dispensaries than it is to just walk in and buy, buy weed. And he's like, but really, it's just a $50 ripoff. Doctor says, are you anxious? Yes, I'm always, you know, who's not anxious? Everyone's anxious, right? Yeah, yeah.
Chrissy
Having trouble sleeping, anxious.
Brian Green
Right. I bet that was a good gig for a doctor. While you could get it when it was just recreational, you know, Pharmaceutical marijuana.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian Green
And everybody needed a card because if you remember, that was just 10 years ago. Everybody had a card. Everybody I knew had a card. Anyway, speaking of cards, get your Halloween cards. Halloween's coming up soon. I can already see the decorations going up and I'm sorry. Sick.
Chrissy
I'm so excited. I mean, if I could, I would put them up next week right after Labor Day.
Brian Green
Your decorations? Your Halloween decorations.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian Green
Why don't you put them up after Labor Day?
Chrissy
I think I will.
Brian Green
Walmart is. Why don't you, you know, saying like, Home Depot already has them out. I can already see the Halloween balloons at my local grocery store. It's insane. My. One of my kids is already bothering me about getting Halloween candy and I'm like, no, candy. It's not. Yes. Oh God. This year we're trading cand for a toy. You give me 20 pieces of candy, I'll give you a $10 toy. Because.
Chrissy
Little negotiation.
Brian Green
Yeah. It's too much. We have this parade.
Chrissy
There's so much candy.
Brian Green
So much candy. And. And it lasts for months.
Chrissy
I know my nephews, I remember them last year around this time. And the Halloween and candy.
Brian Green
Uhhuh.
Chrissy
As soon as they come home from school, candy.
Brian Green
Yeah. I know why they. I know why Halloween is like all monsters and ghouls and goblins is because children literally turn into monsters and goblins when you give them fucking candy. It ridiculous. They're little monsters. That's what they are. All right. Speaking of monsters, we've had a couple of requests. I know it's been a while. We are doing. Just to give you, like, some insight because Chrissy and I are going to be traveling to Florida this month and then doing some traveling later on down the road. We are doing some episodes that we are recording now but are airing later. So there. We're going to do a couple extra video episodes because that way we don't get stuck telling you about a news story that is six months old by the time that you hear it.
Chrissy
You hear about Justin Timberland.
Brian Green
Hey, guess what? Ben and Jen have broken up. Yeah. Justin Timberlake just got arrested for dui. It's crazy. And then you're like, what the fuck are these two talking about? So we're Trying to keep it. We're trying to keep it timely while not getting. While actually getting far ahead of ourselves. And so since we've had a bunch of requests, since so many of you say that you love these episodes, we'll do them. Let's break down a Mountain Monsters episode. It's been so long. But we love them and we know there's good times to be had with every monster.
Chrissy
Every time. Every time is the best time.
Brian Green
It's classic Frankie B. And Mountain Monsters you can count on. Every time. It's going to be classic Teresa Caputo. 90% of the time. Dating shows 75% of the time. You know, the weird people out there, strange addictions and stuff like that. 50 of the time. The old 50s educational films. Chrissy says 0% of the time. I say 30% of the time. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, there's a home run coming. We got a Mountain Monsters episode on deck, and we do for you today. So let's do this. Let's take a break, and then we'll come back and we'll do a Mountain Monsters.
Chrissy
Sounds good.
Brian Green
We'll be back.
Christina
Okay, you guys, I have an idea. Why don't we take a break? Gotcha.
Brian Green
This is the break.
Christina
And you already know when you hear my sexy voice, it's time to whip your phone out and follow us on Instagram or skip the ads at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast. And of course, you know, if you want to get involved, you can always give us a call or text us at 212-4333, TCB. That is 212-4333. And guess what? I finally have information on TCB Live. So the links are in the show notes. But let me tell you right now, you can come see us at Danya beach improv on Tuesday, September 24, or at the Funny Bone Orlando on Wednesday, September 25. It's gonna be fab. So go buy your tickets and we'll see you in Florida.
Brian Green
Okay, we're back with Mountain Monsters on board. We're ready to go. I'm not even gonna preface this. Let's just get the boys going. This is one of my favorite comedy shows on television today. Buck, Huck, Chuck, and all the guys are bad. All the guys are back.
Chrissy
The gangs together. Gangs all together, by the way, too. It's just to preface it, it's a final night hunt.
Brian Green
A final night of the hunt. As opposed to the beginning of the hunt. I imagine they're all filmed in the same night, but okay, whatever.
Huckleberry
Some just come flying through the air and landing in the brush or something up there. We're in Lee County, Virginia.
Brian Green
We're in Lee County, Kentucky slash Virginia slash Indiana. They're always in Lee County. Never outside of Lee County.
Chrissy
Huckleberry, he's had a security.
Brian Green
Oh, Huckleberry. Huckleberry gained a few pounds, did he not? He did. Did he not gain like a hundred pounds?
Chrissy
He did. His pupils are still black as ever.
Brian Green
Yeah. He's got the blackest eyes I have ever seen on human being. First of all, did Huck just say or Chuck or whatever his name is? Did he just say that something flew out of the air and landed right in front. Why don't you go check out to see what it is. It just landed in front of you.
Huckleberry
Something just come flying through the air and landing in the brush or something up there. We're in Lee County, Virginia. We're going after the raven mocker. The raven?
Brian Green
Oh, the raven mocker. I hate when those ravens get mocked. They're so mean to the ravens. Chrissy. Raven mocker.
Chrissy
Oh my God. Well, wait now, here they're gonna, you know, show us their animated.
Brian Green
That's right. Here is the four year old. The four year old's drawing of what a raven mocker would look like.
Huckleberry
There's a huge Bigfoot. Seven foot tall, 500 pounds, jet black fur.
Chrissy
He's a big big.
Brian Green
Oh, he's a big Bigfoot. He's the biggest of the big. He's got extra teeth and white eyeballs. He's very scary. It looks to me like a Halloween mask, doesn't it?
Chrissy
Absolutely.
Ashton Kushner
I got no.
Huckleberry
Guys, we gotta get moving.
Brian Green
What the hell? What the hell?
Buck
What the hell?
Brian Green
He is pointing that gun everywhere.
Chrissy
Oh, flying it around.
Brian Green
Yeah. There is no gun safety on this show.
Chrissy
No.
Brian Green
What?
Buck
What's the matter?
Brian Green
Where's Alec Baldwin when you need him? Sorry, that's a. That's a distasteful joke. I'll take that back. Maybe some.
Huckleberry
Touch me again. There's nothing there. Where?
Christina
Damn it.
Huckleberry
Where?
Brian Green
I love how one of the guys carrying a camera around. I know when there's 12 other camera angles he might get something they don't.
Huckleberry
When this thing touched me on the shoulders, we all jumped around there and started looking.
Brian Green
Oh, did you see that? I did.
Chrissy
That was the pa's hand.
Brian Green
Yes. Coming.
Buck
Hi, guys.
Chrissy
Billy.
Buck
Hey. Snacks are ready. Snack time. Snack time. I was just trying to give you a little massage. I sensed you were stressed. This is a pretty scary situation for everybody. You need a little Rubbing tug. What's going on there, Huckleberry?
Huckleberry
We all jumped down there and started looking. There's bar patches behind me, thick brush on this side you can't beat a goat through. There's no dead.
Brian Green
Why would I want to beat a goat? Who's beating the goat? This is like this lady at the yes lab the other day.
Buck
I got a pussy willow stuck in.
Brian Green
My crag hole for this thing to go.
Huckleberry
Why can't we hear it? Why can't we see it?
Brian Green
Cause you're yelling so much.
Huckleberry
The hell's going on in here? Something touches Huckleberry's back. There's nothing there. Something's playing games with us in these woods.
Chrissy
Yeah, that huge big Bigfoot is creeping around playing games.
Brian Green
Playing grab ass with you. Yeah.
Ashton Kushner
Tag your red.
Brian Green
Wait, hold on. That's not it.
Huckleberry
Hello.
Ashton Kushner
I'm playing hide and seek with the mountain monsters. I'm here from Hollywood, and I'm here to predict the mountain monsters. I'm a mut raven. Monterey.
Brian Green
Raven.
Ashton Kushner
Mark, don't tell them I'm here. It's been five years since I've seen Huckleberry, and I'm gonna jump in front of him, scare the out of them, and then we're gonna go on a date.
Huckleberry
Hate to say it, but, guys, we're not done here. We have to keep moving.
Brian Green
I hate to say it, guys, but we're gonna have to kill ourselves. I hate to say it, but we're gonna have to walk into sure death. Yeah. For no reason whatsoever. No scientist has ever come with us on any of these. We've never recovered any actual evidence. We don't have one picture of any mon. But we kind of keep going.
Chrissy
You have to. The train's already rolling.
Brian Green
Yeah, listen, I just. I was born this way.
Huckleberry
This. Look at this here, man. Look at that.
Brian Green
Look at that. That looks like a sign from Tommy Tangs.
Buck
It's pointing us to the tank.
Huckleberry
Right there. You can see something humongous has slid down off.
Brian Green
Yeah, it was probably one of you. You've all gotten rather humongous. I'm just gonna take a guess.
Chrissy
We did see what's his name going on his butt down the. Oh, yeah, the hill that time.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah, that's right. Whatever his name is. Huck. There's Huck and Huckleberry.
Buck
Listen, guys, I've been trying to tell you about your unhealthy BMI for years. You gotta slow down on the Doritos.
Huckleberry
Contraction and headed right up that trail.
Brian Green
It had a contraction. Is it pregnant?
Huckleberry
The tree Bent over right there, too. We're finding a bigfoot sign everywhere. Right behind you. We know the raven markers in these woods. All we got to do now is get him in that.
Brian Green
Really? Really. All we got to do now is get him into that trap I done built just two hours ago with the help of special effects from Warner Brothers.
Huckleberry
Guys, keep your eyes open. Damn it.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. As if. What am I gonna do? Sleepwalk through the hunt for the extra Big Bigfoot. Bigfoot. Extra Bigfoot.
Chrissy
Senior, Close your eyes.
Brian Green
Yeah, close your eyes now. No, that. Now's not a time to be fooling around. Keep your eyes open. Damn it. He said damn it. As if people are falling asleep on the job.
Huckleberry
Eyes open, damn it. This thing's been running around all over the place on us tonight.
Brian Green
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
Huckleberry
We got. There's something up in that damn tree. There's something up in that there tree.
Brian Green
The whole forest is filled with trees. Which tree do you mean?
Huckleberry
I got nothing on the camera.
Brian Green
I got nothing on the thermals. There's nothing on the thermals. It's just pure tree out of this game.
Huckleberry
Yeah. Huckleberry, go to the right. Jeff, go to the left. I'm going right up the middle. Whatever's in there.
Brian Green
I've got a brilliant idea. Let's split up.
Chrissy
Yeah. That's always what they do.
Brian Green
Yes. That's way. That way. One of us will get murdered, followed by the other one. Followed by the other one. We'll make it more difficult for him to murder us.
Huckleberry
We'll find out. All right, guys, let's go.
Brian Green
Be ready.
Huckleberry
Tired of this crap. We heard something in this damn tree.
Brian Green
Oh, he's. Damn it. Yeah.
Chrissy
I'm tired of this crap.
Brian Green
I would be, too, if I was carrying an extra £400. I'd be tired of everything. I'd just be tired. He's a big boy, and he really is. He got so big ahead of us.
Huckleberry
Whatever's in there, we're gonna flush it out and see what it is. Keep your eyes open.
Brian Green
What do you think these guys home lives are like? I'm just wondering, what do you think? You think that they live moderately well from this television show?
Chrissy
I think so.
Brian Green
Probably in whatever in Lee County.
Chrissy
Well, I was gonna say in Lee County. They're very famous.
Brian Green
They're very famous. Yeah. They got to be very famous in these backwoods. I would imagine each one has got a nice home with acreage. Maybe they even have cabinets with some ATVs. Yeah. Under cabinet. Lightning lighting. I bet that's a Thing in one of their houses. They probably have the latest, greatest recliner where they watch a lot of television and eat a lot of food. And they probably. There's probably a local restaurant. I wonder where these guys live. I would be surprised to find out if they live in like Charlotte or downtown Atlanta or something like that. I'm imagining it's out in the sticks, I think so.
Huckleberry
Clear so far over here. Huck, you got anything? No. What was that, Jeff? Right over here somewhere.
Brian Green
Buck. Settle down, Buck. Geez, you're always talking to me like that. It's really started to hurt my feelings. It's like I'm doing something wrong.
Huckleberry
Sound like right up there?
Brian Green
Well, yeah. It's the other guy coming from the other direction. You dumb shits. You tell him to split up and come back around.
Huckleberry
Let's go to the left of it. All right.
Brian Green
This. Are you there? Buck? Is that you?
Buck
I'm really scared, Buck.
Brian Green
Buck.
Huckleberry
Huckleberg.
Brian Green
It's always inevitable one of them gets lost, and that's a weird encounter. But none of them. None of the other ones. See? That's right.
Huckleberry
You got anything?
Chrissy
Oh.
Brian Green
Oh. Hey. Wow. That was crazy. Swung around and pointed it right at his buddy. Easy, easy, easy.
Huckleberry
What are you doing back there?
Brian Green
What happened? You don't notice the guy with the headlamp weighing 498 pounds is your buddy?
Huckleberry
Are you games with me? No, I ain't playing games. Bucky was just right there.
Brian Green
Take it easy. Take a breath.
Huckleberry
I was not in front of you. You just called me over. You said, I need help, Huck. I never said your name.
Brian Green
That's right. See? Beside the dust. Right in their face.
Buck
Hey, huckleberry.
Ashton Kushner
Hey, huckleberry. Finger dip. Finger dip. I'm here with Ashton Kushner. You're about to get pumped.
Brian Green
Oh, I shot my own best friend. Oh.
Ashton Kushner
You'Ve been punct.
Christina
What's wrong?
Huckleberry
What's going on? I damn near shot Buck.
Chrissy
I heard Buck's voice in front.
Brian Green
Bob damn near shot my belt friend. I'm all tore up inside about it. I got the bubble gut over it. Oh, give me some leaves. I'm about to explode from the rear.
Huckleberry
Whatever was in front of me imitated Buck right down to the last letter.
Chrissy
That's how he got the Raven Mocker name.
Brian Green
That's right. He got the Raven Mocker by mocking you morons out there. Up there.
Huckleberry
I know. Right up in there. Let's walk up that way and see what's going on. Let's just stay together.
Brian Green
I love how lately Mountain Monsters has got more psychologically trippy. It's like one guy is always tripping out for some reason. You know, he's. It's the raven mockers now affecting their mind psychologically.
Huckleberry
Hold up, guys. Hold up, hold up.
Brian Green
It's a stick. They got a stick.
Huckleberry
Stick.
Brian Green
Oh, wow. They are on the hunt now.
Huckleberry
Right across the middle. This is how you funnel on coyotes. Right here. A coyote steps over top. Look here.
Brian Green
Oh, my damn. Damn buck.
Chrissy
What was that?
Brian Green
How did you know there'd be a hole in the ground where the coyotes get funneled. He saw a stick, he lifted it up. There's a hole in the ground. As if the raven mocker is brilliant enough. This is so silly.
Chrissy
Raven walker's like the chipmunk. It's gonna just go up and down.
Brian Green
Or Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator.
Huckleberry
It's a foot trap. This thing was trying to lure me into it. If I step into it, it'll cut my foot all the hell and back. We know the ravenwalker makes the sound of a raven.
Chrissy
The ravenwalker made the trap.
Brian Green
Oh, this is so good. You guys are so good at what you do.
Chrissy
I know.
Brian Green
They really are. Who in America is left believing mountain monsters? Because I want to talk to you. I know there's a few of you out there. I know there is. I've seen what other stuff people believe. There's got to be one or two out there.
Huckleberry
What makes you think he couldn't learn to mock a person? Now my question is, did the Ravenmacher make this trap? Or was it whatever else is screwing with us in these woods?
Chrissy
What else is there?
Brian Green
What else would there be? Wha. Bam.
Buck
You take some donuts and some Doritos and you put them into a cauldron.
Brian Green
Wa.
Huckleberry
Bam.
Buck
You have Buck. I take a little seagull sibling, A little LSD and some ayahuasca. Wa Bam. We're in for the final night of hunting. I'm the forest quantum witch.
Brian Green
Ooh.
Buck
Now you can google 2.5 times faster what kind of shit you're going.
Brian Green
To put on your show.
Buck
I'm the Lee. I'm the AI Witch of Lee County. I can mock your name.
Brian Green
Listen.
Buck
Hey, it's me, Buck. Doesn't it sound just like you?
Huckleberry
Whatever's out here touching me on the shoulder, imitating Buck.
Chrissy
It's not human building traps.
Brian Green
Yeah, someone's out building traps for humans.
Huckleberry
They're out for blood. We're weighing above our heads here. But we're not too far from the trap. The best thing we can do Is just keep pushing forward and get to that trap. And that's a big timber, dude. Yeah, I know, dude.
Chrissy
Oh, they got the other team out there making more. Jimmy and Willie.
Brian Green
That's right. They got the more serious Jeff and Willie. The. The screamer and Willie. We've got to get down to the. We got to get down to the thing.
Buck
I'm.
Brian Green
Right now. I said I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell so much. What is it?
Huckleberry
It's a deer head.
Brian Green
It's a deer head.
Buck
He done ripped off a de.
Brian Green
Hung it. This ravenwalker is a particularly cruel individual.
Huckleberry
Watch out.
Brian Green
Watch out. That might be. That might be a what?
Chrissy
Bait.
Brian Green
Bait.
Chrissy
I think he said, as if I'm.
Brian Green
Hungry for deer eyeballs. What bait could take kill about that size?
Huckleberry
Look, it's Chris. Nope, this man ain't been cut off. It's been twist off. Look at that.
Chrissy
What was that head? That was not a deer head. That looked like one of those ones from Texas.
Brian Green
It's a steer. Yeah, it did look like a steer, didn't it? It did not look like a deer. No, it's a deer. It's a deer with a lot of antlers. Yeah, but that's probably from some hunt or it's just a really clever, you know, special effects team.
Chrissy
They said it was twisted off.
Brian Green
Yeah, but they don't show the part was twisted off because of course they don't then twist them.
Huckleberry
Look at that, man. That's kind of spooky looking, having dead heads hanging around trees.
Brian Green
Oh, you don't say. You walk into a dark forest and they got heads twisted off. Wouldn't scare me. No, sir. Revive.
Chrissy
He's gotta keep pushing forward.
Brian Green
You gotta keep pushing forward. Just ignore the old deer head hanging off the fresh kill hanging off of a tree. Don't worry about that. Nothing to see here. That's kind of spooky. You know what's kind of spooky? A daddy long legs on your ceiling. You know it's all out shit scary when someone's twisting deer heads off, skinning them and hanging them off a tree. That shit's scary. All right, we'll be back with more mountain monsters after this.
Christina
You already know who it is. Christina, here to keep you actually informed, unlike some people we know.
Brian Green
Hmm.
Christina

Brian Green
All right, Amber, back with the boys. Mountain monsters just found a dead. Well, a dead deer. Fresh dead deer with the skin ripped off and head twisted and all mangled. And someone mentioned that it's kind of creepy. Don't say.
Huckleberry
Yeah, that's a whole lot spooky. Let's head on down this flat back out towards the trap. Gladly. Let's do it.
Brian Green
All right.
Huckleberry
Back here, Huck.
Buck
Yeah?
Huckleberry
Trust anything anymore.
Brian Green
Wow. Huckleberry's trousers are ripped. He's so big. Jesus Jones. There's no one looking out for these guys, Health. There's no one over at the travel channel saying, hey, guys, lose a few pounds. We need you for the next season. I guess not. Maybe they're saying. Maybe they're saying the opposite.
Huckleberry
I'd like to know what it is that's out here screwing with us. I'm about tired of this. Hold up, hold up, hold up. We got.
Brian Green
We got.
Huckleberry
What is this?
Brian Green
What the hell?
Huckleberry
Right there.
Brian Green
Look at that. Look at that.
Chrissy
Look at that.
Brian Green
It's a tree.
Chrissy
Tree.
Huckleberry
Wow, look at the size of that one. What the hell? Yucks. We're looking at this big structure on the side of the tree. We've seen this before.
Brian Green
It's.
Huckleberry
It's evil.
Brian Green
It's evil.
Chrissy
What is it?
Brian Green
I really don't know, Chrissy. It looks like a bunch of branches to me. But who am I? I'm no expert. These gu are, so let's let that be evil. Yeah, it's. Whatever it is, it's clearly evil.
Huckleberry
He's made by the Raven Walker. Well, how close are we to the trap? Over there. It just jumped up in front of me.
Brian Green
It's evil. It just jumped up in front of me.
Buck
It just took a on my head. What happened? I don't know.
Chrissy
Well, they would spin the camera around.
Brian Green
They shake that camera. Yeah, that camera is just a shaking left and right, and the guys are twirling around with their guns pointing at each other. They don't know what's going on. But I didn't hear a thing or see a thing because of course I don't. That's not the way the show's supposed to go.
Huckleberry
He says this thing was right in his face, but there's nothing there. Was it the raven mocker? No, it was something about that.
Brian Green
No, it was my ex wife looking for alimony.
Buck
She's here for the child support. Get out quick. Shoot me now, boys.
Huckleberry
And it opened his mouth up and it looked like it was throwing fire out at me.
Buck
Why are yelling so much?
Chrissy
It threw fire.
Huckleberry
It was.
Chrissy
Fire came out of its mouth.
Brian Green
Oh, fire came out of its mouth. That's a new one. It's a fire breathing raven mocker.
Huckleberry
We got you. We got you. Don't move. Stay right here. God, that scared me.
Brian Green
You all right? Yeah, I'm fine.
Chrissy
Bucks radioing.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah, he's got a radio in for help. Someone just shot flaming ass over here and. Billy, you gotta get over here. Where are you? I don't really know. I'm over here at the evil tree thing. Can you head over this direction? I'm over yonder near the creek, over by the holler.
Chrissy
The wagon tree.
Brian Green
The old wagon tree.
Huckleberry
Go ahead, Buck. I need you over here with us as quick as you can get here. Just go past the trap another 75 yards, you'll run into us. All right, we're on our way.
Brian Green
Let's go.
Huckleberry
Let's go.
Brian Green
All right, no questions asked. We're coming. You can count on us, Buck. We'll be there.
Huckleberry
I'm telling you, it was right there on the other side of the log and it was right there. Who goes there?
Brian Green
Who goes there? Who else has a camera crew with them? Who goes there? What is this, the Renaissance Festival? Who goes there?
Chrissy
Friend fest.
Brian Green
Who goes there? It is me, King Arthur of the Round Table. Would you like a butterbeer?
Huckleberry
Oh, it's us over here. What's going on? We got problems. We got big problems. We got this and we got somebody here in the woods. It's the damnedest evil thing you ever seen. It had a ball of fire come out of its mouth right up at the thermal, at me. I'm telling you, it just went.
Brian Green
It had the breath of a thousand asses. It had fireball. And I don't mean the kind you drink. What?
Huckleberry
A ball of fire came out of his mouth and it pushed me in the chest. I don't know what it was.
Chrissy
The other guy goes, what?
Brian Green
What? That's not what you said at first. You said you saw a face. Then it had a fireball. Now it's pushing you in the chest. Let's get our story together.
Huckleberry
See anything like it? If I see it again, I'm gonna shoot it. I don't care. I'm killing it. Willie Moon Huckleberries right here.
Brian Green
Of course. Of course. As a general rule, if you see a creature with fire coming out of its mouth, you go ahead and shoot it and ask questions later. You let the scientists figure it out. We all know this from ET and other movies. Kill it, and then we'll figure it out.
Huckleberry
Looking this over. Jeff was within 15 yards of us. And Jeff's seen it and we didn't. He just walked. He's white as a sheet right over there, man. I'm sorry, guys.
Brian Green
He's always apologizing for something. Wasn't he crying a couple episodes ago?
Chrissy
Yeah, they're patting him on the back.
Brian Green
Yeah, he's the sensitive one. Yeah, there's always one. I was one. I was a sensitive one in my group.
Huckleberry
He jumped up right in his face. Yeah. I mean, and we. And we was within 10 yards of him and didn't see it. I look over.
Brian Green
Look at that guy.
Chrissy
I know.
Brian Green
Never seen someone on so much crystal meth. Then we're looking at a picture of one of the randos that. That follows these guys around.
Chrissy
That's Jeff.
Brian Green
Oh, that's Jeff, I think. No, the other one's Jeff.
Chrissy
Throw.
Brian Green
His name is Jeff. Not Jeff, but. And it took me a while to figure that out too. This is Billy. Billy has the blackest eyes, and his pupils are so dilated. And he has the stare of a thousand crack pipes.
Huckleberry
Jeff. He's white as a sheet. He sees something.
Brian Green
Willie. I got older. Willie.
Huckleberry
We need to get back to the side beside. And we need to find out exactly what he seen on that camera, because.
Brian Green
I don't think I can watch much mock much further. I'm just gonna be honest with you, boys. I'm pretty big.
Huckleberry
He got it on camera. I got it on camera. He's got it on camera. Let's get out here and get back here and get.
Chrissy
He got it on camera, but the cameraman.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. The cameraman was nowhere, but he got.
Chrissy
It on too much to.
Brian Green
He got it on his thermals. Yeah, but see. Let's see.
Chrissy
Can only imagine.
Huckleberry
We got to step out of here and find out what's in these woods.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Chrissy
I mean, bugs. Bug stomach is almost to the ground.
Brian Green
Yeah, it's. It's down to his knees.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian Green
It's crazy how big this Boy is. And he hasn't always been this big. He's always been big, but not this big.
Huckleberry
Come on. We're here. Jethro.
Brian Green
Jeff.
Huckleberry
Over here, buddy.
Brian Green
We're here, buddy. We're here. Sorry about your fireball seeing accident. You'll be all right. They've been running around chasing these deadly creatures for decades now, it seems like.
Chrissy
Oh, yeah.
Brian Green
And all of a sudden, Jethro needs a therapist because he saw something he didn't like.
Huckleberry
Oh. You all right, bub? Huh? Guys, we're safer, but we're not safe. We've been doing this for a lot of years. Something was running circles around us down there. Oh, yeah, You. We ain't never had to deal with this crazy. What?
Chrissy
Every time they deal with us, it's the same thing.
Brian Green
Every episode, same thing.
Chrissy
We've never had this happen.
Brian Green
We've never had this happen. For the most part, whatever we was.
Huckleberry
Dealing with is not a Bigfoot.
Brian Green
No. Hell, no.
Huckleberry
Not at all. I can't even explain what I've seen. I'm not sure I want to see it again.
Brian Green
Well, I promise.
Huckleberry
Y' all said we got to know. Yeah, I want to see.
Brian Green
We got to know. As if there was a choice.
Chrissy
Yes. No.
Brian Green
As if they had a choice. As if there was any other choice. They were going to, like, make a group call not to ever see it. We'll never look at these photographs again. What is this, Hangover Part 5? Come on, show the film.
Huckleberry
Yeah, show it to me.
Brian Green
I go get it.
Huckleberry
We got to see what that thing looks like.
Brian Green
Oh, my God. He's got a laptop with an American flag on it. And it's an apple. Who knew? Who knew? Here we go. Here we go, guys. Well, there you go. A guy.
Chrissy
There's proof.
Brian Green
There's proof. A guy in a Walmart hoodie opened up his mouth, roared at you. That's about. That's about my estimation of what happened. You want to review one more time? Let's do it one more time. Oh, yeah, there he is. Yeah, it's a guy with a hoodie on. Yep, that's what it is. Well, he's got a beard, too, probably.
Huckleberry
Damn.
Brian Green
Damn. What the hell? Goddamn.
Chrissy
It's a good time.
Brian Green
Oh, man. I'll tell you what. It's never not a good time. It's never not a good time as a double negative. So that means it is always a good time. When you get those boys in a room together or in a forest together or in Lee county together, they're always there having some fun, shaking Trees and making babies. I do love it. I do love the mountain monsters, man.
Chrissy
Oh, my God, they're classic.
Brian Green
Sometimes little Brian Secret. Sometimes. I would will watch these episodes even though we're not going to run them. Like, I will watch them and I'll be like, oh, man, this is good fun. This is good talk. But I'm always watching from the perspective of who are they as people, what do they do? Like, TMZ isn't covering the mountain monsters, you know what I'm saying?
Chrissy
Oh, I know. Yeah. They're not out.
Brian Green
There's no paparazzi for the mountain monsters, so you don't see a lot about their life. I always wonder, do they have a Facebook page that I could check out or something like that? I don't know. Maybe I'll do some further investigation about the personal lives. Huckleberry, Jethro, Willie Bob, Bobby, I don't know. I want to find out if they have wives and why. If they have wives, why those wives aren't telling you to slow down on the turkey legs. Honestly, I'm actually worried about Buck now.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Brian Green
This is a newish clip clip, by the way. It was only released a number of days ago, so you check it out on YouTube.
Chrissy
He's traveling on his success, literally feasting on.
Brian Green
I know where all those extra dollars go. I bet they make. I bet Buck and Huckleberry probably make 20, 000 an episode, is my guess. They probably do 16 in a season. So, you know, not a bad deal. Not a bad deal. I Wish we made $20,000 an episode. That sounds dumb because we do 116. Actually 225 in a season. Oh, all right. Well, Chrissy and I will be live in your faces pretty soon down in Florida. We would love to see you, dania improv on the 24th of September in Damia Beach, Florida, and then on the 25th at the Funny Bone in Orlando. If you're going to be down there, please do let us know. 2124-3338-2212-4333, tcb at the commercial break on Instagram, tcb podcast on tick tock and YouTube.com thecommercial break. Oh. Tickets are available in the links in the show notes or on the website. Okay, Chrissy, I guess that's all I can do for today.
Chrissy
I think so. And I'm gonna let you know that they live in West Virginia.
Brian Green
I love you. I love you. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Now we know. Until next time, Chrissy and I do say, we will say and we must say goodbye.
Huckleberry
That cow killing bastard.
Release Date: September 5, 2024
Hosts: Bryan Green and Krissy Hoadley
This episode of The Commercial Break brings Bryan and Krissy back together for their trademark blend of raunchy, offbeat improv comedy and unfiltered banter. The main chunk of the episode is devoted to a hilarious, riff-heavy "watchalong" recap of the reality TV show Mountain Monsters, focusing on its “final night hunt” episode with the introduction of the so-called "Raven Mocker" creature. Laced with pop culture tangents and personal tales about Atlanta dive bars, it’s a showcase of their comedic chemistry, irreverent nostalgia, and running inside jokes.

Sprinkled throughout Mountain Monsters segment
[33:01, 46:25]
“There’s two reasons to go to the Rusty Nail — you had drugs or you needed them, that was it.”
— Bryan Green, [04:21]
“Relapse is part of recovery.”
— Mike (Bryan parodies), [09:06]
“No scientist has ever come with us on any of these. We’ve never recovered any actual evidence. We don’t have one picture of any mon(ster). But we kind of keep going.”
— Bryan Green, [24:35]
“Where’s Alec Baldwin when you need him? Sorry, that’s a distasteful joke. I’ll take that back.”
— Bryan Green, [22:13]
“You take some donuts and Doritos... wa-BAM! I’m the Forest Quantum Witch.”
— Buck (parodied by hosts), [33:35]
“Who in America is left believing Mountain Monsters? Because I want to talk to you.”
— Bryan Green, [33:01]
“Fire came out of its mouth. That’s a new one. It’s a fire breathing raven mocker.”
— Bryan Green, [40:38]
“A guy in a Walmart hoodie opened up his mouth, roared at you. That’s about my estimation of what happened.”
— Bryan Green, [46:58]
The episode is irreverent, unfiltered, and playfully chaotic—true to the show's self-awareness as “just FINE”—riffing on both their own lack of structure and the absurd earnestness of reality TV monster hunters. As always, the chemistry between Bryan and Krissy is authentic and effortlessly funny, with tangential deep dives, inside jokes, and a willingness to be silly just for the fun of it.
If you're new to The Commercial Break, this episode is a quintessential slice of what to expect: raw banter, affectionate mockery of nostalgia and pop culture, running gags, outrageous improv, and a sense of two friends goofing off with no filter. The “Mountain Monsters” breakdown is a highlight for fans of reality TV parody and anyone who enjoys seeing the surreal in everyday absurdity.
Huckin' Buckin' Forest Quantum Witch is a droll, fast-paced episode that encapsulates the weird appeal of The Commercial Break: tangents, affectionate mockery, and manic comedy all in a single, friendship-fueled package. Even if you’ve never watched Mountain Monsters, you’ll enjoy—and possibly relate to—the absurdity of people earnestly chasing nonsense… and two best friends laughing mercilessly about it.
