Sophia Rain & OnlyFans Controversy

Bryan introduces the main topic: Sophia Rain, touted as the highest-paid OnlyFans content creator, who claimed to have earned $43 million in 2024, including a staggering $4 million tip from a single customer.

Bryan Green [03:05]:

Bryan compares Sophia's potential earnings to those of high-earning podcasters like Joe Rogan, questioning the feasibility of a single user generating $4 million.

Bryan Green [07:00]:
"That's a niche. And then to gain $43 million doing that niche. I don't know."

Chrissy offers a more open-minded perspective, acknowledging the vast reach of podcasters and their potential to influence public discourse.

"Why not? Why not see how it goes?"

The conversation touches on the integrity of news reporting versus opinion-based media, with Bryan emphasizing the importance of factual journalism.

Wouldn't Jesus just be a normal guy there on this episode of the Commercial Break, I felt so good about myself, and I'm feeling so good about myself that I get to announce that live here on air. Don't you think? I'M a good person now. Don't you realize what kind of human being I am after I've shared that story in such a humble way? I am a big dipper and I have a huge dick. Let it be known worldwide.

[Chrissy]

That was very sweet.

[Brian Green]

From the valleys to the hollows. Let it be known that Brian tipped good one time. 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, Chris. Enjoy. Totally. Best to you, Chris.

[Chrissy]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. Sophia Rain. Does the name ring a bell? Sophia Rain?

[Chrissy]

No.

[Brian Green]

Sophia Rain is apparently the highest paid only fans actress, I guess. Sex worker. I'm not sure what you what the appropriate term is, but let's just say content creator. Content creator. There you go. That's a good one. As we are here. But no one's paying to see me naked. Nothing in my butthole. Sophia Rain is being called out by her fellow only fans stars such as Farrah Abrams of Teen Mom.

[Chrissy]

Yes. Remember?

[Brian Green]

Of course, she did all. She did the porn movie, then claimed she didn't do the porn movie. Then the porn movie came out and everyone knew that clearly she did the porn movie. Farrah, who is completely unhinged in my opinion. But that's a story for another day.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, you used to love that show.

[Brian Green]

Oh, God. Teen mom was.

[Chrissy]

I could never.

[Brian Green]

I can't keep up with it anymore.

[Chrissy]

We were working together at Clear Channel, just getting to know each other.

[Brian Green]

I know.

[Chrissy]

And you were like, I love Teen Mom. I was like, what?

[Brian Green]

Something so fascinating about watching those young ladies try and navigate life with children. Then once I got children, I was like, not so fascinating anymore. Now I totally understand where they're coming from. And it's very difficult work. I mean, listen, I always thought it was difficult work. I was never under the impression it wasn't. But I don't know, the way the, their, the way their lives unfolded became like of interest to me. And Farrah in particular was a real hot cat. I mean, she was just like always screaming and yelling about something and everybody did her wrong song and it was like one big country song was fair as life.

[Chrissy]

Right.

[Brian Green]

But then she went on. Then they kicked her off the show because she was so difficult. And then she went on to porn fame, I guess is the best way to say it.

[Chrissy]

That's the next step.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Now she's on only Fans after protesting that she Was not the next step. That's Next step. That's right. Well, Only Fans makes it easy for people to be in the sex work business and make good money doing it. If you can amass a following, I guess if you're good at what you do, then just like anything in life, just like the commercial break has 5,000 almost Instagram followers, Farrah Abram has, I guess, millions of people that are out there watching her Only Fans. Good for her. Sophia Rain went on Twitter, I think it was, and put a screenshot of her Only fans revenue for 2024. She claimed she made $43 million in 2024, including a $4 million tip from one happy customer. One very happy customer indeed. $4 million. I mean, who's got that kind of jingle jangle? Obviously, this is somebody who's trying to get her attention.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, that would get your attention.

[Brian Green]

Listen, if someone tipped me $4 million, I would. I would be gaping anus everywhere. I'd be like, hey, no problem, $4 million. That's. I'm ready. Whatever you want, I got. But other stars on Only Fans are calling her out, saying, that's clearly bullshit. You did not make $43 million on only fans. It's very hard to make that kind of money on Only Fans. And from what I understand, I mean, listen, we're content creators, so we get it. We know how much content creators make. It's very difficult to get into the millions of dollars unless you have hundreds of millions of downloads or views or whatever. I know Only Fans is different because I guess you can tip. And I don't really know because I've actually never paid for an OnlyFans.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. And I think you can sell things, too, like sell like a package of.

[Brian Green]

Photos or your urine, like that one girl.

[Chrissy]

Or your urine or your fiance or.

[Brian Green]

Your fart in a jar like that one girl did. Or the. The bath water. Remember, the lady was selling the bath water and she was making good money doing that. I think someone paid her, like a hundred grand for some of her bath water. I. I wish that anybody was that interested in me because I. I would not be too proud to do that. I'm not sure the parents at my kids.

[Chrissy]

Your shower water.

[Brian Green]

My shower?

[Chrissy]

Well, you take like three showers a day.

[Brian Green]

Plenty of shower water to kids that would be gallons and gallons every time. I got plenty of it. But $43 million seems like it. Like, let's put it this way, Joe Rogan makes about that much for about a half a year worth of work. And by all Accounts he's getting, you know, I don't know, 20, 30, 40 million downloads on episodes of his show. That's a lot. You have to have a lot of people engaged in your content. And I just, I might agree with Farrah on this one. While I don't agree with her on a lot, I might agree that that seems like a very large amount of money to make for such a, like kind of niche platform. And Sophia Rain, while very beautiful, you know, is she going to be. Is that's like a very specific thing. You have to be really? I guess it's a niche, right? You have to. That's a niche. And then to gain $43 million doing that niche. I don't know. So. And then she posted a screenshot of her revenue. So is it bullshit? Will only fans come out and confirm or deny the drama drop continues? I will keep you posted. Thinking about getting a subscription.

[Chrissy]

Only fans.

[Brian Green]

Only fans.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

OnlyFans.com I don't know, I'm just curious.

[Chrissy]

Is this like a big company or.

[Brian Green]

It is a large. I mean, person.

[Chrissy]

One person. I.

[Brian Green]

No, no, it's got to be. There's got to be employees.

[Chrissy]

Well, no, I know there's employees, but I wonder how it got started or if it was even in this country who started.

[Christina]

I googled it.

[Brian Green]

Over here.

[Christina]

Your fact checker.

[Brian Green]

Yes, please.

[Chrissy]

Christina, inform.

[Brian Green]

Hi, Christina.

[Christina]

It is Leonid. I don't know how to say that name, but it looks like Leo with nid on the end. Leonid Rudvinsky.

[Chrissy]

It was one person.

[Christina]

UK based Ukrainian American billionaire businessman and computer programmer.

[Chrissy]

Oh, he's a billionaire now, that's for sure.

[Brian Green]

That is for sure.

[Christina]

He's the majority owner of OnlyFans and he also is the founder of a campsite called My Free Cams.

[Chrissy]

All right.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my Free Cams.

[Christina]

Good for him.

[Brian Green]

I'm a frequent customer on My Free Cams.

[Christina]

The founders are Guy and Tim Stokely.

[Chrissy]

Okay. Oh, Guy and Tim.

[Brian Green]

Guy and Tim. Two just regular guys on the street paying their neighbors to get naked. They said, hey, let's make this into a business. God damn, I wish I had one really good idea like that and could actually put it to the test. The. You know, I knew there was a guy. That was. When we were in our clubhouse days, there was a guy who approached me. He had a very similar.

[Chrissy]

About what?

[Brian Green]

I don't know. He thought that I was going to add some fans.

[Chrissy]

And then you're talking about a guy who approached.

[Brian Green]

He did approach me in a very similar. He said, listen, I've Got this subscription based website that I'm starting to kind of compete with places like Patreon and Onlyfans. And it's only going to be for the elite of the elite, like, you know, stars and athletes and, you know, people who wanted, you know, porn stars and stuff like that. I thought I said, oh, okay. So he said, can we. Can we get on a. I know you have a background in Internet marketing. Can we get on a phone call? Will you talk me through your content creation and Internet marketing background? So I did. And then I thought to myself, well, if this takes off this guy, you know, maybe I'll hitch a ride on this guy's back, right? Maybe I'll ditch that commercial break in clubhouse and get on this guy's coattails. And then I saw the kind of stars he was getting, and it was like a friend of a friend of the Real Housewives of New Jersey with four followers. And it just. There was absolutely no steam behind that engine. So not the thing about what makes only fans. I think such a success story is not only is it a. Is it a good idea and put to. Not only is it a good idea that also has a good interface that's easy to use, but then it caught the imagination of the collective consciousness at the right time. During the pandemic when everybody was looking to whack off. I take a dick and keep on licking. Exactly. When everybody was looking to get off without getting Covid. So Onlyfans really exploded. And you know, I say, I've said this to you about lonely fans many times.

[Chrissy]

Sonia or Sophia.

[Brian Green]

Sophia Rain.

[Chrissy]

Sophia Rain.

[Brian Green]

Sophia Rain. I'm gonna ask Astrid if I can get a subscription for show research purposes. That's right. Remember I was talking about that website, that sponsor that was gonna come on that was teaching women and men how to give women an orgasm. So for research purposes, and I swear to God it was. I was on that site this morning looking at something so I could communicate about the sponsorship and asked her and walked in and she's like, what in the fuck? I said, honey, the kids are at school. I'm just doing a little show research time. Yeah. So when it says only Fans. Sophia Rain. $4 million tip. Show research. What? Who gives a $4 million tip? Saudi Arabian prince.

[Chrissy]

I was going to say, yeah, that's.

[Brian Green]

What I would think.

[Chrissy]

Big oil.

[Brian Green]

Big. Big baby oil.

[Chrissy]

Big baby oil, corporate baby oil.

[Brian Green]

That's right. Bitcoin enthusiast, early investor in bitcoin. I would say, I told you about this guy that I know that in Seattle who was buying bitcoin way back when it just first started. He just. He liked it. He thought it was cool. He thought it was interesting to have bitcoin. Right. Even though at the beginning there was absolutely no use for it whatsoever. And the guy had, like, 500 bitcoin. Bitcoin went over $100,000 yesterday.

[Chrissy]

I saw that.

[Brian Green]

So he's got. According to sources that I have on the inside, he's got, like, 350 of those Bitcoin. The guy is, like, a verified millionaire.

[Chrissy]

Cash out.

[Brian Green]

I know. Cash out. Take it.

[Chrissy]

Take the take. No, I'm of the mind, like, if I go to Vegas or something, and I. Then I leave.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you're smart. Yeah. That's why. That's why you're not a friend of any casino is because. Yeah, they hate people like you and me because I'm the exact same way. I go to Vegas, I get $500 out of the ATM, right?

[Chrissy]

And that's what I play with.

[Brian Green]

That's it, right? 500.

[Chrissy]

You can lose it. Or if you start winning, then cash out.

[Brian Green]

If I start. If I win, I don't always cash out, But I know I've got that $500 to play with. Like, Aster and I went to this place in the Dominican Republic, the Hard Rock in the Dominican Republic.

[Chrissy]

I stayed there.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that' there's, like, bands that play there all the time and stuff like that. So we went there. Beautiful resort, lovely people, great experience. But they have a casino there. And, you know, it's a casino in the Dominican Republic. It's not Las Vegas, but it's pretty big for, I would say, a hotel casino in the Dominican Republic.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, we walk through there, and we.

[Brian Green]

Were walking by the slots. Every day you have to kind of walk through the casino to get into this little food and beverage area, you know? And so we would walk by and walk by. And then, like, the third day, I'm like, ah, let's get out 50 bucks, and we'll see what happens. We'll throw in the slot machines, and we won, like, $125. And so I was like, that's it. Okay, great, wonderful. But then every time we walked in or out of the casino, we found ourselves at the atm really excited that, in fact, we could win more than 125 bucks. So we were down, like, 700 by the time we left. And I was like, that's it. I'm done. I've given them enough of my money. I know, but that's. But that's Why I will never have a frequent flyer card at any of those casinos is because I just. I know instinctively that the house always wins. And I also know instinctively that I'm really dumb with money. So it's. Of course I can be dumb with money in a lot of things. I just don't want to lose it. I don't.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, I agree. Unless you just really love the game you're playing. Like you just really love to play poker or you really love to play the game itself, then I guess, then you're paying to play. It's.

[Brian Green]

What's your favorite game to play at a casino?

[Chrissy]

I guess blackjack.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, me too, blackjack. But right behind it very closely is the roulette wheel.

[Chrissy]

Ooh, I do like some roulette.

[Brian Green]

That is my. That is big money.

[Chrissy]

Big money.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, big money. Big. That is my downfall. There was a guy on online. I was watching this, like I follow a few gambling people and how they teach you how to like play cards and gamble. Instead they give you tips. And it was a guy who specializes in table games and he was showing you how you can pretty much over the course of some period of time, beat the casino every time by betting in this certain pattern on the roulette wheel. But you have to put like 30 chips down in a different place in different places every single time. The exact same way every single time.

[Chrissy]

Oh.

[Brian Green]

And so he had a. This guy is so into creating content about table games. He has the tables at his house and he like hires dealers to show you how to do it. Right.

[Chrissy]

That's.

[Brian Green]

So he's got a little casino in his basement or whatever. So he was showing you.

[Chrissy]

Love to have a real cool.

[Brian Green]

Isn't that real?

[Chrissy]

In my basement.

[Brian Green]

Yes, I'd love to. One time I found like online gam. I was in Costa Rica and I found like online gambling, you know, because it was legal there at the time.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And I found this pop up ad for like online roulette. I must have sat there, I mean, $100. I must have sat there for like four hours just gambling on roulette online. And then I thought to myself, what a dumb fucking idea, Brian. You know, it's rigged inside of the casino. It's clearly rigged on a computer. Yeah. They're not going to let you win. That's never going to happen. Why are you doing that?

[Chrissy]

They give you a little snippet of winning and you get excited and then you lose.

[Brian Green]

But let's say that I am a single guy with a lot of bitcoin Or I'm very good at gambling. And I have amassed a fortune. I don't know. I have $100 million to my name. There is no way under any circumstances that someone on onlyfans will get 4 million of my dollars. Like a $50,000 tip, I think would be enough to. I think the intended purpose is probably to get the attention of Sophia Rain.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And hopefully he did, because that's a huge fucking tip. If indeed it happened. But there's just no way that I would waste that kind of. You must have no concept of money if you're spending $4 million on one only fans content creator. And then what are you getting out of that? Like, I don't. I don't really want to. I don't know if I don't want to know the answer to that. I know. Christina. Sex. Yes, sex. A blowjob. That's what he's getting out of it.

[Christina]

Well, I just also wanted to tell you. It's Sophie Rain.

[Brian Green]

Oh, Sophie Rain. Why do I keep on saying Sophia?

[Christina]

I don't know.

[Brian Green]

I know why I keep on saying Sophia. But I won't say it here. But I'll share with the ladies of the studio after we get done with this. There's just no way under the sun I'm giving anybody 4 million.

[Chrissy]

I can't imagine doing that when you.

[Brian Green]

Live under a porch for some period of your life. You will never give $4 million as a tip to anybody. Largest tip you've ever given to anybody.

[Chrissy]

Largest tip.

[Brian Green]

The largest tip you've ever given anybody.

[Chrissy]

I mean, I'm trying to think about where I've tipped.

[Brian Green]

I've certainly never, like out of proportion tip. Now, I'm not talking about you go to dinner, you have a 500 bill and you give them a hundred dollars or 110.

[Chrissy]

That's probably about what I've done.

[Brian Green]

20%.

[Chrissy]

No, I mean, I've done like 50%.

[Brian Green]

Oh, you've done 50% on like a large bill?

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Oh, wow.

[Chrissy]

If it was a great service and it was on the company card.

[Brian Green]

Astrid, bring the company card. That's right. Do you remember one time that our boss. That the boss of like Clear Channel pulled me aside and started bitching about you and me going to the restaurant on the company called.

[Chrissy]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I think one time I went to Waffle House. It was the holidays, we were in Orlando. The family, we were with the family. We were going to the parks and stuff like that. It was like for New Year's Eve and for New Year's Day. So everybody went out somewhere. They went shopping, and I went to Waffle. I took a nap, and then I went to Waffle House to get something to eat for dinner. And the bill was like, how nice. $17.

[Chrissy]

It's a family vacation. You took a nap and went to Waffle House by yourself.

[Brian Green]

Welcome to being a gringo in a Venezuelan family.

[Chrissy]

I just was thinking about that.

[Brian Green]

Yes, that's me. That's what I do. I avoid all communication outside of the studio.

[Chrissy]

We took a big family vacation. Everybody else went out. I took a nap and went to Waffle House.

[Brian Green]

When you have 13 to 15 children, Yola, you can understand that. You just need a break sometimes from all the drama. And I gave the lady who was there was. We got into a conversation and she communicated that, you know, she had small children and she was a single mother. And this was not like, she wasn't giving me an oh, me, poor me story. I was just. Yeah, you were like the only one in the Waffle House. It was like New Year's Day. I was the only one at night, and I was the only one at the Waffle House. And I was just communicating, you know, just talking with her, having a little shitty chatty. And I left her a $250 tip.

[Chrissy]

On like a very.

[Brian Green]

I felt so good about myself, and I'm feeling so good about myself that I get to announce that live here on air. Don't you think I'm a good person now? Don't you realize what kind of human being I am after I've shared that story in such a humble way? I am a big tipper and I have a huge dick. Let it be known worldwide.

[Chrissy]

That was very sweet.

[Brian Green]

From the valleys to the hollows. Let it be known that Brian tipped good one time. While avoiding his family on a family vacation. While avoiding all responsibility, Brian was at WAPA House getting close to the waitress. Congratulations to me. I am incredible. Yeah. $4 million. I mean, that's out of proportion tip. I just felt extremely generous in that moment. I really. Her. Her story struck me and I was like, oh, this lady, you know, she probably has to wait on 55 tables just to make, you know, $70 a day or something like that. She's got to really, really hustle. She was good at what she did. She was very kind. I felt for her circumstances.

[Chrissy]

And servers at the Wa House are good.

[Brian Green]

That you have to be.

[Chrissy]

You really do.

[Brian Green]

You have to be. There's no slackers at Waffle House.

[Chrissy]

No, no, I've never seen the servers. The Clean the dishwashers, everybody. I mean, they've got it down.

[Brian Green]

Say what you will about Waffle House, but it is a Southern institution. It is never closed. Very rarely is it closed. I mean, I've heard they've closed for hurricanes and stuff like that, but it is never closed. Why they have locks on the door? I don't know. Probably to keep the crazies out when it gets a little nice sometimes. Waffle House, we'll keep you. Waffle House. When you get kicked out, you know, you're a shithead. Waffle House. Put your pants back on. You can come inside. So that Waffle House is a Southern institution. It is always on. It is always there for you. You will always be greeted with a somewhat friendly face. You will get the same food every single time. It's a greasy spoon. And man, is it goddamn good. Especially after a long night of drinking or drugging. I love the Waffle House. And those people work extraordinarily hard, probably for not a lot of money. And they. I don't know if they're passionate about their jobs, but they don't seem.

[Chrissy]

They seem like it.

[Brian Green]

They don't seem dispassionate about their job. I'm sure not everybody is happy to be working at the Waffle House, but they seem to take. There's a pride in getting it done. Getting it done efficiently and quickly and cleanly. And I just. I don't have enough praise for a Waffle House. As a matter of fact, I want Waffle House right now. That's what I want.

[Chrissy]

I know.

[Brian Green]

I want it, too. Right now.

[Chrissy]

Scattered, smothered, covered in diced.

[Christina]

Get lunch.

[Brian Green]

Hey, listen, what do you think I made a money around here? Those. That was back then. Now I'd be lucky to tip at a Waffle House. I'd be lucky to be at a Waffle House, let alone tip at a Waffle House. All right, well, listen, we'll call Sophie Rain and see if she can lend us some money. She seems to be in it. Let's take a break and. Yeah, we'll be back.

This episode is sponsored by pre alcohol from ZBiotics. I am not one to imbibe a whole bunch anymore. I've got 13 to 15 children checklists to get done and jobs to do. But even with moderation, I don't bounce back like I used to from a night of drinking. I find myself having to make that choice. Can I have a great night or a great responsible day tomorrow? A tough choice to make indeed. That is until I found Pre Alcohol zbiotics. Pre Alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by a PhD scientist to tackle rough mornings after drinking, and here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in your gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for that rough next day. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break down this byproduct. And just as long as you remember to take Pre alcohol as your first drink of the night, then drink responsibly, you'll feel your best tomorrow. We've now been out for a few nights of drinking where Pre alcohol is the first thing that I drink. Let me tell you when I can get up in the morning, take care of my 12 to 13 check. Children still record an episode of the commercial break and make it to bedtime with a little bit of energy left in the tank to watch bad television. I know that Pre alcohol has done its job and with the holiday season upon us, I know I'm going to be consuming just a little bit more alcohol than usual. But with Pre alcohol, I can stay on track and not let the holiday season throw me off course.

I mean, not ourselves, we're not going to get invited to anything. But, you know, like other people who have cachet and importance and that Trump circle like Rogan, Theo Vaughn and others to be in the White House press briefing rooms. They're essentially getting credentialed to be White House press. And there's a lot of conversation going on about this. And some people have confirmed that in fact, they may allow podcasters to be in the. In the press room. Okay, I wanted to get your take on this. What are your thoughts on allowing podcasters like Theo Vaughn or Joe Rogan into the White House press room?

[Chrissy]

Why not? Why not see how it goes?

[Brian Green]

Okay, you take a very interesting angle on that. Why not see how it goes?

[Chrissy]

Well, I mean, they reach a lot of people. Sure. And it is kind of like the new media in a lot of ways. I guess it depends on how they present it. I don't know. I mean, what are you just, you going in there and you're just recording it and then broadcasting it to your people?

[Brian Green]

I think this is like letting the hock to a girl do our hurricane reporting because she knows about wet things. And so let me, let me share my opinion.

[Chrissy]

Okay. Well, please.

[Brian Green]

My opinion is this. Nothing against Rogan or Theo Vaughn. They're powerful podcasters who do a lot for the industry. And what I, how, you know, how you feel about their show personally is whatever. But they are not news reporters. They don't report the news. They report opinions. And kind of knowing about things and talking about things are two different things. Like I don't know about things. I just talk about things. It's clear that I don't know about things. If you listen to the fucking show, I have no idea about anything. But I don't. I'm Also not giving anybody the impression that I do. Like, I'm not trying to report the news here. Right. So Rogan and Theo are the same way. They're not newscasters. They don't report on the news. So they go to the White House press briefing room and they listen to something, and then they go back to their followers, listeners, and then they have a conversation with their followers about their opinion about what was said. That's not reporting the news. That's just being opinionated.

[Chrissy]

Well, what's the difference between just reading what was said in a news or watching what was said in the news and then given your opinion on that?

[Brian Green]

So someone. Well, I mean. Right, you can read or. Or watch it. Right. So the people that are in the press room typically are news reporters. Right. I don't even know what that means. I have no idea. Right. I don't think you need any special kind of magic to be a news reporter. But I think their job is to listen to what's being said, report back on the facts. Right. This is what they said. This is how it was said. This is the context in which this particular situation is being discussed. Report and just report the facts, ma'am. Right. Now, I totally realize that that doesn't happen a lot in 2024.

[Chrissy]

Doesn't do that. CNN doesn't do that. But they're in the room, too.

[Brian Green]

They're in the room also. But their reporters are not there to be opinionated. They don't have four hours of conversation. I mean, that's not what they're supposed to be there for. I just think it's kind of a little bit of a bastardization of what the. Like the White House press briefing is even for in the first place. It's like you're there to report you. The White House press briefing is the. We're updating you on what's going on inside of the West Wing. And that's not always factual either. There's lots of bullshit coming out of their mouths. I'm not saying that Joe Rogan or Theo Vaughn mean anything would mean anything malicious by going back and talking to their audience about what they heard inside of the press briefing room. I just think that, you know, I don't know. Just to me, it feels like it's opening up a can of worms. It is the new media. It is where most people are getting their information. YouTube and podcasting has officially seeing its day in the sun for sure, without a doubt. But I just don't know about, like, letting anybody in the press room just because we happen to like them. Feels a little bit, I don't know, it feels a little too loosey goosey to me. And maybe I'm a little, a bit of a traditionalist. And I would prefer that news come from news reporters, news sources. Like when you read the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Or even when you get a report from a newscaster on Fox or on cnn. Typically you're not watching for them. You're not there for the personality. You're listening to what they're saying, how they're communicating what's going on inside of the West Wing as per the White House press briefing. You're not there for the personality. You're not there for their opinion. People have been opinionating on that for a long time. And I hear you. Like, what's the danger of just letting them in the room?

[Chrissy]

Yeah. I guess my difference is that Anderson Cooper, I really like him. So I am watching for him and maybe like his take on what happened that day. And I know Fox News has got their people that they like, whatever. Different outlets have personalities. I feel like that do give their opinions on what was said.

[Brian Green]

Sure.

[Chrissy]

In the, in the press briefing.

[Brian Green]

I don't think Anderson is inside the press briefing room. I think he communicates his opinion on what was said inside of the White House press briefing room. Right. Because he clearly has an opinion. Right. Just like Tucker Carlson does or whoever is on Fox News. And just like, I don't know, Rachel Maddow and that Jose Diaz Ballard, your favorite guy. Deal. And up next, and up next, Joe Rogan. Should he or should he not talk? We'll get more on that later. Thanks, Joseph. Just again, this is just my opinion because this is what we do. We opinionate on things. We don't necessarily know all the facts. We don't necessarily have a clear understanding of any of the issues. But you know, it'd be honestly like letting me in the press briefing room to then come back and report to the world on what's going on inside of the press briefing room would be a dumb fucking idea. It just would. I would be. I wouldn't remember. I'd pretend like I knew.

[Chrissy]

I, you know, maybe I'm thinking about this differently. But isn't it open Been like, it's not like it's a closed room, right?

[Brian Green]

No. You can't just walk in there.

[Chrissy]

No. But I mean, it's not like it's not open to the public to view it. Like, don't they always. Isn't it on C SPAN or on something or I don't know.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, but and here's another.

[Chrissy]

It's not like in a back dark room.

[Brian Green]

No. Well, I mean, dark room.

[Chrissy]

And then people are coming out of there and reporting.

[Brian Green]

C SPAN oftentimes covers all. Well, I think they do actually cover all of the White House press briefings, as they do all of the congressional sessions and all of the things that go on that they can, you know, report on in the government. However, no one watches C SPAN ever for any of that information. And that's, I guess, another. I, I guess another point and maybe this could go either way, is that. No, like, I don't think, I don't think the typical commercial break listener or the typical Theo Vaughn listener or the typical Joe Rogan listener or call her daddy or whatever. I don't think any of us are sitting around watching C Span White House press briefings, Right? So if you, the only source of information you have is Brian Green telling you what happened, then you are fucked as a human being. And as far as knowing and understanding what's going on in our government, because I am just going to give you my opinion, I'm not, I don't know how to. I'm not a trained reporter. I didn't go to school for that. I don't know, you know, how to report.

[Chrissy]

I think the cat's out of the bag on that, though. I think at this point, it's all people looking to hear other people's opinions. Social media, that's where a lot of people are getting their news from, too.

[Brian Green]

We are so screwed.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, it really is. I think we just have to accept that it's a whole new world. And if you do really want straight facts, you go to Reuters or, you know, the Associated Press or C span. Otherwise you're going to your favorite podcaster or your person on Influencer, on.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

On social media or whatever. But I think that's what people are seeking out.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I hear you. You know, I know that it's like, you know, you're swimming upstream with a lot of these things, but it just seems like yet another move toward the movie idiocracy, as far as I'm concerned. I don't disagree about it. I mean, you know, it's like, can, you know, they're. The press is the, what do they call it? The fourth. What are the fourth estate? Right. The press is supposed to be the fourth estate. And what the press means these days is very, very. It's very nebulous. Does it mean Joe Rogan Theo Vaughn in the commercial break. I'm not putting myself with Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn. Thank you. We are in a different class. Thank you very much. A class that gets much less money and many, few listeners. But at the end of the day, it feels like we're one step away from putting a neon sign in front of the White House vacancy. You know what I'm saying?

[Chrissy]

Oh, we are. Oh, I know it.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I know it.

[Chrissy]

I've just come to accept.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I know it. And I'm just like, I'm trying to. I'm trying to decide in my head.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You know, is there. Are we going to do any splitting of hairs or it just, like the baby is directly going to go out with the bathwater? I don't know. It feels sad. Doomed. It feels like we're doomed. It feels like we're doomed.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And to be clear, it's not because I, you know, it's not because Joe Rogan specifically or Theo Vaughn specifically. I'm mentioning them because they are the most mentioned. And these news stories that are coming out where Don Jr. Is saying they've talked about this, it's gonna happen. They're gonna let these people in the press room and all this other stuff. But then again, you know, Trump's saying a lot of stuff, and, you know, some of it's just not. He's finding a lot of headwinds. Like, what was that guy's name? Matt Gaetz.

[Chrissy]

Oh, God, that guy's awful.

[Brian Green]

Oh, he's terrible. Now he's doing, you know what I saw? He's doing cameos. I saw that. Videos.

[Chrissy]

I saw that.

[Brian Green]

$150 to get a cameo. It's 25 from Big Ed at 90 Day Fiance. And he's 10 times more entertaining and less creepy. And that's saying something because Big Ed's creepy. So I'm telling you right now, I know.

[Chrissy]

Who is paying that?

[Brian Green]

I don't know. Well, when I went that. When I saw it, I immediately went into his cameo page and I was like, I gotta see how much this guy's charging. $550. There was four.

[Chrissy]

He doesn't have a job now. He quit his job.

[Brian Green]

He doesn't. It's like, that was crazy. He quit because he was going to be the, you know, the attorney general. And then all of a sudden he's like, well, this is not going to work out clearly. And so he just, you know, jump ship. Which I would have, too, if I was directly in his position. I wouldn't want that's even more scrutiny than he already had on him. And he's not exactly been the, you know, brightest star student in the classroom. So 550. So then when I win and I looked to see, like, you know, you have to give a review. I think every time you do a cameo, you have to, like, give them some kind of star or something. I think that's how it works. So you look at someone like big ed or something. 90. Some of these stars out there, reality stars, they have thousands, tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of stars, ratings, right? And Matt Gaetz had been on for three days, and he had four ratings. It was like, oh, okay. Well, at least. At least he's not getting a ton of traffic on that website. You got to do a lot of cameos to make money at $550, you know, at $550, you have to hope that 10,000 people come and pay $550. I would do them at. If I was on cameo, which I could be. I know some people who are on cameo who have, like, you know, 2,000 Instagram followers, and they have a cameo page. I don't know who's paying for that cameo, but. Okay, good for you. I guess we could have cameo pages.

[Chrissy]

We could. We could do it.

[Brian Green]

What kind of cameo would we do? Well, I mean, let's say it's. But it's.

[Chrissy]

Don't you read things that you want people to say or that people want you to say?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you have to write a little something, so. Hey, Jason, it's Brian and Chrissy here on cameo from the commercial break. And we're so happy it's your birthday. We have no fucking clue who you are. We've never met you before in our life, and for all we know, you could be a criminal shithead.

[Chrissy]

But thanks for paying us.

[Brian Green]

Happy birthday.

[Chrissy]

Happy birthday.

[Brian Green]

You're our new best friend. We love you. Call us anytime. Things are great. We love best to you and your hairy teas, and we hope everything's going lovely. And remember, remember, 21 EPMs, check your prostate each year. Thanks.

[Chrissy]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

Look at that. $50. We could do that for $50. And instead of doing an episode of the commercial break, we could just sit here all day long and do cameos. We'd probably make a lot more money.

[Chrissy]

We probably would.

[Brian Green]

Of course, that's not saying much either.

[Chrissy]

I say we started that and Feet finder.

[Brian Green]

Foot finder. Still haven't gotten. I had, like. I've checked my foot finder. I don't know, like four weeks ago. And I had six views. No payments, no requests for more feet photos.

[Chrissy]

Did you actually put your feet up?

[Brian Green]

I did. I put a couple pictures on my feet. I started.

[Christina]

Can you see the pictures?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I'll show them to you. Yeah, it's not, I mean, listen, it's, you know, they're feet. It is what it is. I don't have like stubby toes or anything. I mean, I've been told I have pretty feet, but I was told by the cashier of Publix.

[Christina]

Well, I was told by a guy at the DMV that I have pretty toes.

[Brian Green]

Oh, really?

[Christina]

It's not true. But, but he told me.

[Brian Green]

Well, it's because he's a creep. It's because he wants to suck your toes. Which, by the way, is like my nightmare fetish. Like the last thing I want to be sucking on is toes.

[Chrissy]

Toes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And I'm glad that Acer and I share that in common. We. It's our anti fetish. We're like toes. We would keep socks on if we could. All the. I keep sock. I don't keep socks on during the summer. I wear sandals. But what I'm saying, saying is I don't have any interest in getting toes involved. You know what I'm saying?

[Chrissy]

Yeah, no. A lot of people feel that way and then other people really love feet and toes.

[Brian Green]

You're into toes, right? Oh, I thought you were into toes.

[Chrissy]

I mean, I get a regular pedicure. I like to have nice toes.

[Brian Green]

But you're not like toes aren't a thing for you? No. It's not like a fetish for you, was it Tina? I'm sorry, Tina, if I'm. Bastard. Someone was here and said they liked feet. And I'm sure it wasn't my wife and I'm sure it wasn't me.

[Chrissy]

It's a major thing. Thing.

[Brian Green]

It's a big thing. It's. People are really into toes. I Wonder if for $550 we could get Matt Gaetz to talk to our toes. You know what I'm saying, bro? I don't know.

[Chrissy]

I don't want anything to do with him.

[Brian Green]

Oh my God. They were pointing out like they were doing a side by side of him with when he started in Congress and now and how much plastic surgery has been done on his face. They were doing this with a lot of. Listen, I think this could be said, right? This is representative of an entire population. I'm not trying to point anything out, but they were doing that Someone was saying there is a trend on TikTok right now to show what's called MAGA face, right? People who are in Trump's orbit who have gotten a lot of plastic surgery done to their face. And so it's like all these side by sides and there's like, you know, tons of reels out there showing different people, Laura Loomer and, you know, whoever. And so they were showing Matt Gates and I was like, wow, he really, like, dolled up his face. He went from looking like a rat to being a rat, like being officially a mouse. It was incredible.

[Chrissy]

Like, what did he have done?

[Brian Green]

He got his eyebrows lifted. He had clearly had something like a lot of Botox in his forehead and eyes. He had his nose. I think he had.

[Chrissy]

You can really go overboard with that eyebrow lift. I swear I watched enough. Well, we watch reality TV and I think I watch even more of the Housewives and that kind of thing. And it is just. It can be really weird.

[Brian Green]

It is really weird looking. You know, I get it. Like you're, you know, as you grow older, those muscles start to fade. And so your eyebrow, your eyebrows start to droop a little bit. But then when you get them and you're like the Wicked witch of the West, I mean, honestly, total. Yeah, it looks so weird. And he had this huge, like, you know, just almost angular lines, like someone had literally taken fish hooks and pulled his eyebrows up. And it does look a little disconcerting hurting. And I've seen people out in, like in the grocery store and then there's this like, new trend for women to get like 6 inch eyebrows. Have you seen this, too? Some people, they're like painting on eyebrows like that are 6 inches thick. I mean, I swear to God, they're like halfway up their forehead. And I think to myself, there are a lot of people in this world and some of them are not well. Exactly. What makes you think that looks good?

[Chrissy]

You can always get back to that.

[Brian Green]

Saying, yeah, I've DM'd. This is. I basically run through life thinking that to myself, when I get behind an old lady that's driving slow, There are so many people in this world and most of them are not well. When I see the eyebrow lift so many people in this world, most of them are not well. When I see that four people have actually paid Matt Gates for a cameo, there are so many people in this world and four of them are not well.

[Chrissy]

I know. That's what I do.

[Brian Green]

I know I really wanted to get somebody like Big Ed or somebody on Cameo. I wanted to send them a request, like, almost ridiculous request to do a cameo, pay the hundred dollars or whatever it was, and then run it on the commercial break.

[Chrissy]

Oh, that's a good idea.

[Brian Green]

It would be if it wasn't against their terms of service to do that. You can't actually do that. Who I really wanted to get private use only. You can only use it for private use. You can't redistribute it. So it's so doctor.

[Chrissy]

Now, Zard, is that like a cameo policy, or is that Big Ed's policy? Big Edge should open it up. Up.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, Big Ed should open it up. Because if he could do cameos on the commercial break, I'd be paying every.

[Chrissy]

Episode to get a new message him independently.

[Brian Green]

I did. I slid into his DMS and I asked him to come on the show. Of course, that's when we had six listeners and no interviews. Now we have 10 listeners and a couple of interviews. So maybe I'll try again. I mean, we did have some luck doing that. You know, the first person ever that we asked to be on the show through Instagram, dm, immediately responded to us as if they were up waiting for us to call them. It was like, wow, okay, all right. But I tried to get Big Ad on the show. And, you know, on Instagram, you have a limit as to how many private messages you can only send. Like, I don't know what it is. Two messages.

[Chrissy]

I didn't realize.

[Brian Green]

If they don't accept your instant. If you don't accept your message requests, and if they don't allow you to instant message them when they're verified or whatever, then you can't send them any more messages. So I've reached my limit with Big Ed. But, Big Ed, I implore you. You're welcome on the show anytime. I know there's some downtime for you right now, but so if you'd like to, you're welcome to come on the show. Or just allow me to use a cameo and I'll pay you to be on the show.

[Chrissy]

Maybe I should slide into the DMs.

[Brian Green]

Ooh, you know what? Knowing Big Ed the way that I know him from reality tv, knowing Big Ed the way that I know him.

[Chrissy]

The way that I know him, I.

[Brian Green]

Would bet you have a much better chance of getting Big Ed to respond to you than I do. And so maybe you should on this break. Why don't you. Why don't you DM Big Ed and say, big, would you come up, Biggie. Say Biggie would you come on the show pretty please and then show them a picture of your feet. Because if there's one person in this world that I am almost positive is into feet, it's big Ed.

[Chrissy]

I did just get a pedicure, so why not?

[Brian Green]

Shorten your cold at the first sign with cold shortening products from Zicam, the number one cold shortening brand available in stores. Or see where to [e-mail]. did you. Have you seen the new. Not Ivan Reitman, but who's this son? Jason Reitman. Is it Jason Reitman? I think it's Jason Reitman. He made a movie about the very first night of the very. I mean, the night that Saturday Night Live went live. He made a movie about it. And there are a bunch of people that play, you know, Dan Aykroyd and Jeffy Chase and, you know, all these other characters, John Belushi in this movie. And I saw like an extended trailer. It was like seven and a half minutes long. And it was absolutely, to me, fascinating because I am fascinating because I am fascinated by Saturday Night Live.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

The mechanics of it, how it works. Is Jason Reitman. Christina. It's Jason Reitman.

[Chrissy]

Guitar job.

[Brian Green]

Thanks. Look, I can get a White House press credential, too. You're not the only one.

[Chrissy]

Even a blind squirrel gets a nut.

[Brian Green]

Broken clock is right twice a day. So this movie that he made, I.

[Chrissy]

Think I heard about that.

[Brian Green]

Like, I heard about it, but then until I saw the trailer, I didn't even remember that they had talked about making this movie. But now they've made it and it does look fascinating. And I would love to watch this movie. I don't know, it's like out in independent theaters or something like that. I don't know what's going on. Can you tell me when that movie.

[Chrissy]

No time.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Yeah. I want to see when it's going to be on the streamers because that's when I'll really see it. Because seeing Wicked the other day, it was literally an act of congress to get out of this house. And that's never going to happen again until Gustavo and Alec. Congratulations to both of you. Until they come back here and decide to watch the kids for us. But like the. Oh, go ahead.

[Christina]

Sorry. You can. You can buy it on Apple TV, Amazon prime, etc.

[Brian Green]

How much is it?

[Christina]

$20.

[Brian Green]

Jesus. Come on. It's almost as much to go to the movie theater.

[Christina]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Okay. All right. I'm not gonna buy it yet. I'll wait a couple years until it comes out on Netflix.

[Chrissy]

Can you rent it? It?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you can buy it, but I don't think you can rent it. No, you know, they have a period where you can buy it and then they have the rental period too. Usually it's the other way around. Usually you can rent it first and then you get to buy it later. Go ahead.

[Christina]

So you, you can buy it for 24.99 or rent it for 19.99.

[Chrissy]

Oh, well, buy it. I know.

[Christina]

Yeah, that's the point.

[Brian Green]

Why rent it? And then you got that two day period where you have to watch it. And that, to me, is the killer. I always just decide to buy it because I'm like, I'm never going to get this done in two days. Never. Really?

[Chrissy]

I'm the opposite. Because when I go to rent something, I'm like, yeah, I want to watch it right now.

[Brian Green]

Yes, I am also like that. But no, my children do not allow me to do that. That is a complete farce.

[Chrissy]

It's like, okay, you can't follow through with that.

[Brian Green]

No, I was, you know, it's like getting five minutes of work done at any time of the day or night in a row. Five minutes in a row is nearly impossible with the chaos that goes on in this. And I love it. I wouldn't change it for the world, but there's just a certain rhythm to the way things go. I get it, and I know it's gonna take me three to four days to watch two hours of anything in a row. So. But this Saturday Night Live, you remember we had Rosebud Baker on.

[Chrissy]

We did.

[Brian Green]

Rosebud Baker is a writer, a senior staff writer, a senior writer for Saturday Night Live. And she kind of explained to us the chaos that goes into writing an episode of Saturday Night Live. It is. They have one day off a week. Week. And then the rest of the week they are there till midnight, 1, 2, 3, 4 in the morning, trying to get this show ready to be broadcast to millions of people live every week. And they do two of those shows. They do one in the afternoon and they do one during the night when it's. When it's live. So it's. It's a big lift to get all of that done, to try and make it funny. There's 12 to 15 skits that go into each show. There's musical acts that's just got. There's got to be. It's got to be so frenetic and so incredible to watch that all come together to do it for the first time.

[Chrissy]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I can only imagine when Lorne Michaels put this together and pitched the network, he didn't even tell them what the show was going to be about. He just said, listen, it's gonna be a comedy show live on Saturday night. I need an hour and a half after the news broadcast. And the network said, okay, sure. And he knew the play. They knew the players that were involved. And I'm sure they had people out rehearsed muscles. But I can almost imagine just how crazy that first night was, especially with the personalities that were on board.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, you have. Get your cocaine ready, boys. We're doing a show.

[Brian Green]

Yes. Chevy Chase was a walking eight ball in the 70s and 80s and he has admitted as such.

[Chrissy]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Isn't there a movie about, like, Chevy Chase being stuck in a room with somebody doing cocaine at a country club for days in a row? Does this sound familiar to you?

[Chrissy]

No.

[Brian Green]

Can you Google Chevy Chase? Cocaine?

[Chrissy]

Country.

[Brian Green]

Country or hotel? A movie? I don't know. There's something.

[Chrissy]

There's a Caddyshack.

[Brian Green]

There's a documentary about this. Go ahead. Did you find it okay? I remember reading about this or hearing about. Maybe we even talked about it. But like, yes, the. Lots of cocaine, lots of liquor. You have John Belushi, who's a, by all accounts a pretty hot mess, but also extraordinarily talented. And they're all trying to come together to put on a live television show on a broadcast network when broadcast networks were the only game in town. So there are probably millions, if not tens of millions of people that are tuning in to see this new television show on one of the three channels that they had after the network news. It just seems so exciting to me, and I would love. I would love to go up there and watch a Saturday Night Live. Oh, yeah, Rosebud, because I know you. Follow the commercial break. Dear Rosebud, please send tickets asap. Backstage passes, if you would, all access, so that I can come back and report on that frenetic energy here at the commercial break. That would be. To me. To me, that is on the bucket list. Go see a taping of Saturday Night Live. And I've had friends who've gone and seen tapings.

[Chrissy]

I've had friends that have gone, too.

[Brian Green]

And I've had friends who have gone to the rehearsals who were lucky enough to get the rehearsal tickets. And they said, it's just like. It's. It's amazing. It's crazy how it all Comes together. It's so fast. It's so whiz bang. And yeah, I. I want to see the movie Jason. Put it on Netflix so that we can all watch it at our own time without having to pay extra money. Poor Jason. But here's the crazy thing is I never. I never even heard about the movie coming out in the movie theater theaters. Or maybe it didn't. Maybe it went straight to video. Maybe Wicked and that goddamn Gladiators push it out. Or probably Twisters pushed it out of the movie. Twisters. Twisters with Glenn Fry or whatever his name is. What's his name? Glenn.

[Chrissy]

Glenn Powell.

[Brian Green]

Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell. What's his next?

[Chrissy]

Glenn Fry. He was in the Eagles.

[Brian Green]

No, I know Glenn Fry was in the Eagles. Glenn Fry. Talk about a walking eight ball. Glenn Fry from the Eagle. Eagles. He might still be a walking eight ball. I don't think that. I think he's actually been sober for many years. But Glenn Fry is so fucking talented. You know, I saw him on that. Remember that? For a While there in VH1, they had that live from Daryl's house.

[Chrissy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Did you ever see that?

[Chrissy]

Yeah, I did. Yeah. It was the Daryl Hall, John Oates of Daryl. Yeah, that's the Daryl.

[Brian Green]

That's the Daryl. They're not exactly hall and Oates anymore. They're having a little disagreement. Oats wants out and hall won't let him go.

[Chrissy]

It's like, crazy.

[Brian Green]

But in that disagreement, I guess in that period of we're not hanging out together anymore, hall got. What's that disease you get from lice? From deer lice.

[Chrissy]

Lyme disease.

[Brian Green]

Lyme disease. He got Lyme disease. It affected him terribly. Oh, from ticks and he. Yeah, not lice. What's the difference, really? At the end of the day, T slice. He got bit by a deer. He got that Lyme disease. It affected him terribly. He was sick for many years, actually, I think is what he said. And then as he started to get better, he couldn't play out, you know, in the public, so he was inviting people to come and play with him.

[Chrissy]

I saw quite a few of those. It was cool.

[Brian Green]

Well, at first, according to him, he was literally just inviting people over to come play. Like, there was no cameras or anything. In his big barn where he had set up this music studio. People were coming to say, you know, hey, hope you feel better. Helping him get. Get better at playing music. And then he put some cameras in there and did live from Daryl's house. And he had some really great, talented musicians come up There, play their songs, play hall and Oates songs, and just have a good time. Eat some dinner, have a good time. And it was all taped, and I saw Glenn Fry do an episode, and he is so fucking good at what he does. He's so talented. If I just had one inch of that talent, then maybe there's a chance Astrid stays with me till I pass away. Just one inch of that guitar talent, that's all I want. But no, Brian can't even play Home Sweet Home from I Was mly crew.

[Chrissy]

Keep. Keep practicing.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You know that Motley. That Home Sweet Home song is now in a car commercial. And so every time I hear it, every time Asher and I are in the same room and it comes out, and as her looks at me. Is that the song you were trying to play?

[Chrissy]

That's it.

[Brian Green]

Yes, dear, that's the song that I was trying to play.

[Chrissy]

It's the effort.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And, you know, I. Have you read the Saturday Night Live book? Have you read the book about Saturday Night Live?

[Chrissy]

I haven't, but I feel like I've seen quite a few documentaries from different perspectives of different people on it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

And it's very fascinating. I love it. I love everything about it.

[Brian Green]

What was your favorite, like, cast of Saturday Night Live?

[Chrissy]

Oh, God, there's so many. There really are.

[Brian Green]

But what do you think?

[Chrissy]

I don't think everybody was there, like, at the same time.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

That I truly love.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

I mean, just off the top of the head, I mean, it's gotta be Chris Farley. Kristen Wiig.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

Will Ferrell, obviously. I loved. I love Whenever, although never actually a cast member. Steve Martin has been on quite a few times.

[Brian Green]

He's like. He's the person who's hosted the most or something.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. God. Amy Poehler.

[Brian Green]

The Kristen Wiig.

[Chrissy]

I said Kristen Wiig.

[Brian Green]

Oh, you said Kristen a week.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. Who's the other one? Gosh. Maya Rudolph.

[Brian Green]

Maya Rudolph is so good. Yeah.

[Chrissy]

So many. I mean, so many. I mean, think about Dana Carvey.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah. And Mike Myers.

[Chrissy]

Mike Myers. Eddie Murphy.

[Brian Green]

Eddie Murphy was fantastic. Yeah.

[Chrissy]

There's Dan. Exactly. Over the years.

[Brian Green]

Garrett Morris. Yeah. What's her. Lorraine Boozler. But who was the other one? Rosanna. Rosanna. Dana. You know who I'm talking about. She was married to.

[Chrissy]

Yes, yes. Rita.

[Brian Green]

I can't remember her name, but she was.

[Chrissy]

She died early.

[Brian Green]

My dad used to watch. My dad. Everybody in my family, you know, my grandparents, everybody used to watch Saturday Night Live. So when I was growing up, I would see. Not only would I see the new episodes. But then they would rerun old episodes during. When they were not live.

[Chrissy]

Oh, I mean, it's literally been around for 50 years.

[Brian Green]

50 years. But I just remember as a kid that Saturday Night Live kind of being the mainstay, you know, you're on Saturday Night Live, Saturday night. I would be allowed to stay up, of course. Tv, you know, got a little extra slack. And it was one of the shows that was a little bit more adult that I was allowed to watch. And my dad just loved it. He loved seeing John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

[Chrissy]

My parents loved it too.

[Brian Green]

Cut up. He thought it was the greatest thing when they did that. Oh, God. When they did the Blues Brothers or when. Who is that? The father that would come on the smoking cigarettes. The father on the newscast and all the newscasters over the years. I mean, we can just like. So talented. And I think the guys who are doing the Saturday Night Live news right now are so incredibly talented.

[Chrissy]

Who's the guy that's married? God. Who's the guy that's married to Scarlett Johansson?

[Christina]

Colin Jon.

[Chrissy]

Jon and Michael Che.

[Brian Green]

They, they may be the best that have ever done it.

[Christina]

And there's been a lot of dentists than Seth Myers.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. I, I, I might. Seth Myers was great. Dennis Miller was great.

[Chrissy]

Dennis Miller.

[Brian Green]

Colin. What's his name? Did it for a while. Colin Quinn did it for a while.

[Chrissy]

Oh, my God.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Chevy Chase, I think, even did it for a, For a few minutes. Just like.

[Chrissy]

Well, he was only on it for one season.

[Brian Green]

I know.

[Chrissy]

And crazy to think about.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, crazy to think about. But then, you know, Chevy's never been one to get along with humans. I mean, he's never been one to get along with humans. He is so fucking talented. But he apparently was so full of himself that he was just very full of himself and full of, you know, Brazil's finest, you know that Colombia's marching powder. That it just became impossible to work with him and people were. But I think he left the show because he wasn't being billed as the biggest star.

[Chrissy]

I think he, well, he was getting into movies.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And he did some great ones. Classics, classic movies. So I really want to see this set.

[Chrissy]

There was a making of cast Caddyshack that I just watched recently, and it's really good.

[Brian Green]

A documentary.

[Chrissy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Making of Caddys.

[Chrissy]

The Making of Caddyshack. It's a really good one.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You know, Bill Murray wasn't even supposed to be in that movie. Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd, I mean. And Chevy Chase hated each other. They did, by all accounts. They, like, didn't they get into a fist fight once or something?

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And they hated each other so much that they are. I think they're only in one scene together in the entire movie. And then they had to be separated. They had to come in on set at different times because, yeah, they made.

[Chrissy]

It work for the movie. But they did hate each other.

[Brian Green]

Other hated each other because Bill Murray was kind of the anti ego to Chevy Chase's ego. But Bill Murray's turn in Caddyshack is like star making. Yeah.

[Chrissy]

He was only available for like two days or something that they had him. And so they talk about how he had to come in. And of course, he was only supposed to have one line or something like that. And then he kind of stole.

[Brian Green]

Improv the whole thing.

[Chrissy]

Improv the whole thing got. Everybody loved him. The. The cat. I mean, the set. Set is like, set at an actual country club down in Florida.

[Brian Green]

I know. Didn't they buy like a country or a rent.

[Chrissy]

But yeah, they had to, like, rent it out. And again, it was for a very short time too, because it was an actual working country club.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And they were like, staying at the country club, like the hotel.

[Chrissy]

And yeah, they said it was a party. Party, party all the time.

[Brian Green]

Of course.

[Chrissy]

And it's a very interesting documentary. It's on Amazon.

[Brian Green]

We should rent a country club and do a couple episodes of the commercial break, see how things go. We just get like, stockpile drugs and alcohol. Leave our kids, leave our. Hide your kids, hide your wife kind of thing and just like, just make episodes of the commercial break at the highest level of craziness. Yes. TCB Gone Wild. I'll flash the camera. We'll put that TCB Gone Wild thing.

[Chrissy]

We'll film it on Only Fans.

[Brian Green]

Oh, man. If we could only make money on Only Fans, we wouldn't be here. I do this because I have no choice. There is no only fans option for me. If you would just want to see my penis, then I wouldn't have to do this over and over again. What's up with you? Guys and girls mainly. Or guys mainly. I don't know. I don't know. I'm a friend of the gays. What can I say? There's a drop for you, Christina. I'm a friend of the gays. What can I say? Yeah, so I'll watch that Saturday Night Live documentary or mockumentary, I guess, and I'll get back to you on Please do report back. I will. And I am not watching a lot of Saturday Night Live right now. Astrid watches it, but I'm not watching a lot of Saturday Night Live right now because I just don't have a lot of extra time. But I think Saturday night you're watching.

[Chrissy]

A Thousand Pound Sisters.

[Brian Green]

A Thousand Pound Sisters is a fantastic show. No replacement for Saturday Night Live. But it's also not on at midnight on Saturday when you have 13 to 15 children. You know what I'm saying? I mean, I do record it, but I just. I don't find myself getting around to it. Thousand Pound Sisters comes first. I know Tammy and whatever her name are. They come first. They always will. They're my friends on the tv. Yes, both of them has lost a ton of weight. There's no more thousand pounds about it. They have lost a ton of weight and, you know. Good. Yeah, good. They'll. They'll live a couple more years. That Tammy, she was really, really sick for a while there. But how did I get on thousand pounds? Okay, because you Thousand Pound Sisters and.

[Chrissy]

She said, you're not watching Southern Animal Life.

[Brian Green]

You disagree with my taste in television, Chrissy, because every time you watch a television show, it ends up if somehow Jeff. So you and Jeff are in there watching it, getting wrapped into it.

[Chrissy]

Well, no. You talk about it so much that I feel like I should watch it to see, for research purposes, what you're talking about. Then I get sucked in. Then I suck Jeff in and it's a whole cycle likely story. I think you need to start going to Saturday Night Live and then that we can talk about that.

[Brian Green]

Okay. You take the kids every Saturday night live from 11:30 to 1. Recordings.

[Chrissy]

You record it.

[Brian Green]

I record it. I just told you. I can't even watch a movie in four days. How am I supposed to get an hour and a half of Saturday Night Live in every time? Here's why. Thousand Pound sisters is great.

[Chrissy]

90 Day Fiance is an hour and a half.

[Brian Green]

Here's why it's great. I'll explain. There is no paying attention to it whatsoever. You can literally tune in and tune out with your brain.

[Chrissy]

This is true. And that's why I like it, too.

[Brian Green]

It's not like you don't have to hang on every word, but if you're going to watch a comedy skit, you better pay attention because it's likely to be funny at some point. You want to laugh. There is going to be. It's also formulaic. Reality television is. It's also formulaic. You know what's going to happen. And it's also written. It's like literally a written show. So you know there's going to be drama between the sisters. They're going to get into a fight, then they're going to go on a big trip and everything's going to be fine. And then next season they're going to get into a fight and then everything's going to be fine. After the production crew flies them to some far flung location. Right now, the thousand pound sisters are about to go to London. They're going to go to London. They're going to get on a plane for the first time in their lives apparently and go to London. Do you think they come up with that idea? Fuck no, they didn't come up with the idea. They haven't left West Kentucky in their entire lives and now they're flying to London. It's like, it's ridiculous. Two weeks ago they met with a genealogy special specialist to see if they were related to the Queen of England. It's like the most ridiculous thing ever. But guess what were they now? We don't know. Maybe we couldn't go back.

[Chrissy]

Tune in next week.

[Brian Green]

Tune in next week. Let's go to London because we have to find out if we're. It's so stupid. And guess what? Every single reality show on TLC and everywhere else does the same fucking thing. I know you get a hit on your hands. You get. You tape some people and they, you know, they're doing their lives and you piece it together. You edit the.

[Chrissy]

That's why I like the first season, any kind of reality show.

[Brian Green]

Third season's always good.

[Chrissy]

Four seasons because they don't know what they. They don't know. It is true reality. I think that's right.

[Brian Green]

I can almost tell you what every. My seven little. Seven little Johnston's will be every single week, right? They there's some kind of family dynamic drama. Then we play a game, we do something interesting. We go on a trip and then the drama gets resolved at the end. And then there's a new drama. Stay tuned. Next week. Week here, here it comes. That's how it goes. You know why? Because Brian knows how reality TV goes. Because I watch entirely too much of it. Saturday Night Live. Save me.

[Chrissy]

Yes, let's start watching Saturday Night Live.

[Brian Green]

I will. Okay, fine, fine.

[Chrissy]

Just sprinkle it. There's just one a week.

[Brian Green]

But that's true. It's not that big of a lip. Sprinkle it in.

[Chrissy]

Sprinkle it in amongst your viewing habits.

[Brian Green]

I will I will.

[Chrissy]

Well, I want to talk about that.

[Brian Green]

I want to talk about your yacht rock.

[Chrissy]

Oh, my God, it's so good. Speaking of hall and oats. Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yacht rock is making a comeback.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. There's a documentary.

[Brian Green]

It's been around here in Atlanta for a long time, though. This is nothing new to us.

[Chrissy]

Well, there's the band.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. But they have made it very. They've made that style of music very popular. It's a whole event every time they play. Everybody gets together and does the whole diddy. And young, young people, too, like, you know, 18, 19, 21 years old.

[Chrissy]

So Christopher Cross is like, supposedly, according to this documentary, the king of yacht rock.

[Brian Green]

He created Yacht Rock Takes me away to where I want. We've been singing this song since season two.

[Chrissy]

I love some Christmas.

[Brian Green]

We are ahead of the trend for once. But don't ask me to once talk about White House press briefings. Yacht rock. I got. I can't go to the press briefing. All right.
