There's an ice cream van there selling just two ice creams with two chewing gums in it. Yeah, the bloody nine pound for two of them. Nine quid for two. Yeah, nine quid. That is going to get nowhere.
Chris Hoadley
One that comes on my street is out of £1 a P or two pound.
Brian Green
Like he's going to get nowhere with that.
Chris Hoadley
No he ain't, is it?
Brian Green
No, he know he ain't. That's well bad, isn't it? He should know. And he only just bloody card stood there with my cash. Bloody hell. That's well bad, isn't it? Bloody well bad. Yeah. Yeah. Then you can hear me.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
On this episode of the commercial break. Mark them for death.
Chris Hoadley
It just flashed to the previous time. I guess they saw the woman in the woods and one of them, one of them.
Brian Green
He's just like an Indian with war Paint on his face. He's got like a Benetton shirt on.
Chris Hoadley
And like a headpiece.
Brian Green
He's got a headband with a long feather. He's screaming into the void. This looks like my weekend.
Chris Hoadley
The cacao ceremony.
Brian Green
It really does, yeah. The cow mushroom ceremony. I think a few people are doing the same thing. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. 2:30 in the morning. 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 and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris Best. Brian, best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. 2:30 in the morning is right. I'm watching a video about a guy who like the Doraville police. Doraville is a place here in the metro Atlanta area. Right. They were called to a Waffle House because a guy was sleeping at the table for about three and a half hours and they couldn't seem to get him up and so they had to call the police. Waffle House, take a nap. Yeah, yeah, Waffle House. We limit you to three hour naps.
Chris Hoadley
Can't go over three.
Brian Green
Yeah, Waffle House. Three hours is the limit. So after three and a half hours, they called the police, the Doorville. I saw the body camera footage. Doville police show up. The guy is non rousable. He's just not getting up.
Chris Hoadley
He was out.
Brian Green
He was out like a light. But they like, you know, they finally like, like, like pull his eyelids back just to make sure that he's up. And he kind of like wakes up and he's like, what, what, what? And they're like, hey man, you've been here for like four hours. Like they want you to leave. Yeah. And he's like, man, fuck that shit, man. I pay my bill, I'm here. Fuck that shit. I'm taking a nap. And the guy does not look like an unhomed person. He looks like, you know, he's got the jeezies on and the whole nine yards. And so the officer's like, man, you gotta, you got a place you can stay? He's like, fuck, yeah, I got a house, man. I live right around the corner. He's to go home and he's like, fuck that, I took a nap. You know, I paid my bill, I.
Chris Hoadley
Can, I can take a nap.
Brian Green
I can take a nap.
Chris Hoadley
God, that reminds me, that would be a fantastic cam to watch. They need Waffle House cam.
Brian Green
Yes, that's a good idea. Where is The Waffle House live stream.
Chris Hoadley
Need that in our lives?
Brian Green
Yes, they have. They have a Bonnaroo live stream. They have a Burning man livestream. They have a live stream on every beach in the entire world. Why don't they have parks? Yes, we have an Eagle Nest cam. Why do we have a waffle? I guarantee it's more interesting than Eagle Nest Camp. So the guy. Anyway, the guy causes trouble and after some, you know, after the officers, for about three and a half minutes taking his shit, they're like, okay, dude, leave or go to jail. Right?
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
And he's like, man, fuck that. And so they take him down, right? They pull him out, they take him down, they put him in handcuffs and they find over a half a pound of cocaine in his pant pocket. A half a pound of cocaine.
Chris Hoadley
I mean, that's for one, for two. Why was he, why is he sleeping?
Brian Green
Why isn't he up and about? I mean, now. Yeah, dude, you can't go on a bender and decide to take a nap with your fucking. With your fit in your fucking pants. That's the number one bonehead mistake always made by drug users and dealers is keeping the shit on you out in public when you're fucking up. It's like my uncle said, my pretend uncle. I don't never. I don't, I don't remember where I heard this from. Don't fuck up while you're fucking up. Yeah, that's the one thing you can't do if you're going to do your, your shit, if you're going to blow lines.
Chris Hoadley
He was that adamant about not leaving, all he had to do was leave.
Brian Green
Yeah, see, some people are just dumb. Some criminals are just dumb. They're just dumb, dumb, dumb. So anyway, moral of the story is don't leave cocaine in your pocket. If you're taking a nap at Waffle House, it's likely you're going to go to jail. And not for the sleeping part. For the not sleeping part of the.
Chris Hoadley
Okay, yeah, yeah. And if you do leave it and take a nap, just leave them when they ask you to leave.
Brian Green
Yes, Just leave. Just say, I'll take the. I'll take the ticket. Which is usually like a trust passing ticket. I'll take the ticket and I'm out of here. Walk home and wake yourself back up with all that cocaine you have in your pocket. Number one. Number two, second part of this story is after this is like a Facebook video that I saw. Then after watching this entire video, which was like 26 minutes long, then I get an ad again, I don't know what in the world is going on with Facebook, but they have un. They have uncoupled from any kind of ad safety whatsoever.
Chris Hoadley
Are you releasing the tatas?
Brian Green
Yeah, not the tatas. I got an ad for something called Wanna Bump. And Wanna Bump is a product, a powder product made with pure caffeine and something called Nosetol. Nose at all? It sounds like it's just made up nose.
Chris Hoadley
You're kidding me.
Brian Green
No, I'm not.
Chris Hoadley
I mean, it's good product placement, I guess.
Brian Green
Listen, they knew I was interested in the cocaine video. They said I'm probably interested in cocaine. Here's the closest thing we got to it. But it literally is powder. Like in one of those little, you know, like in a capsule, like a cocaine vial.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
Have you ever gotten cocaine in a cocaine vial? I mean, have you ever seen cocaine in a cocaine vial? I've seen it in movies. Okay, You've seen it in movies. I used to have like a really hoity toity dealer, like, you know, back in my 20s. Not D, okay? No, that was D. No, D was a baggy kind of guy. You know, I'm saying D was a baggy kind of guy, but I used to have like a hoity toity dealer. I worked in the. What's called the rich part of town near Buckhead Vinings. And we used to have a hoity toity dealer. And that hoity toity dealer would give you a gram in a little vial, like. Yeah, the little brown vials with the black tops on it. You know what I'm saying? And he said it was to keep it from getting moist and all this other shit. And I always just found it to be a waste of resources. And it's extra stuff you have to get rid of in a weird way around the house. I mean, at times I'd have like 10 vials just sitting around the house.
Chris Hoadley
Did you save them?
Brian Green
I did, I saved them. For what? I don't know. You can't bring them anywhere. I mean, if you think a baggie is bad, wait till the cop pulls out a vial from your fucking pocket. And you know, it just. And then doesn't anybody ask questions way before Amazon? Doesn't anybody ask questions when you go to the head shop or vile store? The vial store, the glass vial store. I mean, honestly, it's just so silly. This guy thought he was all that in a bag of cheese, but then he also charged like $110.
Chris Hoadley
I was gonna say he probably upcharged you with the Vile cost.
Brian Green
Listen, he thought he had the best cocaine in anywhere. Like that was his thing. But it wasn't ever. He had more nose at all than actual cocaine in there. I'm sure of it. Baby laxative or whatever they come with, you know, B vitamin B12 is, I think, is a popular one. Baby laxative is another one. Because you think you're doing good cocaine until you actually get good cocaine.
Chris Hoadley
Like I can imagine.
Brian Green
Let's just pretend for a second. Let's go down the. Let's go. Let's go to Mr. Rogers neighborhood and be in the imaginary kingdom and assume that one was to take a trip picturing puppets. Mrs. The Queen of a match is the queen. Yes. I hereby declare this to be brown cocaine vial day. The little trolley.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah. It'll take you to the land.
Brian Green
Daniel Tiger's neighborhood, which is Daniel Tiger, if you remember, from Mr. Rogers neighborhood. Daniel Tiger was the cute little tiger puppet.
Chris Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
And Mrs. Fern Gully, or whatever her name was, the lady who always talked to Daniel Tiger. Daniel Tiger is now an extraordinarily popular cartoon with the kids. They've got a whole series, and I love that that tradition is carried on. I tried to get my kids to sit down and watch, like, actual episodes of Mr. Rogers, but it's just so grainy and weird and like it's from a different universe.
Chris Hoadley
Right.
Brian Green
They're like, who is that guy?
Chris Hoadley
Right.
Brian Green
Why is he changing his sweater? Here's a little fun. Here's a little fun fact before we get back to it. Yes, you change the shoes. Little fun fact before we get back to Imagination land about cocaine. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood intro song the theme song to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was the Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood played the same way twice. There's like 1400 episodes of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
Chris Hoadley
Really?
Brian Green
And never was it the same twice. Never. And the reason why is because it was always sung by Mr. Rogers live. Well, you could tell that just by watching it. But it was also. The piano was also played live in the studio by a certain gentleman. And that gentleman was there for all the episodes. And he always played it just a little bit differently.
Chris Hoadley
I like that.
Brian Green
Just twinkling on the keys just a little bit differently.
Chris Hoadley
I like that.
Brian Green
I like that little. That little fact warms the cockles of my heart.
Chris Hoadley
It does. And makes it unique.
Brian Green
And my heart does need some warming.
Chris Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
So let's go back to Imagination Land and pretend that we were to take a. Take a trip down to a Central American country. I'm not going to name the country, but let's let's pretend that it was Costa Rica.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
And then let's pretend that you were in Costa Rica visiting and one was to get some cocaine somehow. Right. It's much closer to the source down there than it is up here. And so therefore it doesn't pass this through as many hands. So if you were to do cocaine here in America that someone said was good, and then you were to go down to a place just imagining like Costa Rica, closer to the source. Closer to the source. Then you will understand what really good cocaine is all about. And the difference is monumental. It's monumental. You remember the scene in Blow where Paul Rubens, Pee Wee Herman does the cocaine and he can't feel his face. He's testing the purity of it. He's like, it burnt. You know, bad cocaine burns at 100 degrees and you know, medium sized cocaine. What medium. Okay. Cocaine burns at 120 degrees, but pure cocaine burns at 180 degrees or whatever and it gets up to like 172 degrees. I have, I have felt that feeling in my face before where no feeling in my face before. It's, it's very interesting to notice the difference. I can't feel my face, my teeth or my toes. Cause I just put good cocaine up my nose.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah. All the, you know, I love those rock docs and I love to read biographies of all the rockers from the 60s and 70s. And they all talk about how back then it was completely different.
Brian Green
Yeah. Because they would, like, they had American pilots who were making deals with the cartels down there, the newly formed cartels that were figuring out that they were sitting on this goal and they were getting American pilots like the cocaine cowboys to put, you know, 180 pounds of pure cocaine.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
And then just fly it straight to Florida or wherever they were flying it to Texas or Florida, the panhandle. And then it would just get on the streets. And at that time it wasn't a game like it didn't have. You got to think of it like an industry. It's an industry now and people step on it all along the way so that they can make extra money and sell it to fucking morons like Brian out of margarita cups of chilies. Do you know what I'm saying?
Chris Hoadley
Sometimes in the fancy vial, sometimes in the fancy vile.
Brian Green
But I think I was paying more for the vial than anything. Yeah, but it just was a, like it's just a different game.
Chris Hoadley
Fleetwood Mac in it, in and of itself helped bring cocaine to the.
Brian Green
It's true. I mean, go back to blow and think about that story. They ended up with a hundred pounds of cocaine. And they had. They didn't know who to sell it to because not that many people even knew what cocaine was. I mean, they might have heard of it, but they didn't buy it. They didn't know what it was. And so they were creating the demand as they got the cocaine. And that's an amazing story of some ingenuity. Now I'm, you know, okay, we can all debate the morals of it, but it's really quite ingenious how they put all that together.
Chris Hoadley
It's fascinating.
Brian Green
Created an industry basically out of thin air. And listen, the product is good. It makes people feel good and that's why. That's why they like it. Right. I assume. Let's talk about. While we're on cocaine, let's talk about Charlie Sheen's new documentary.
Chris Hoadley
Yes, I have. I watched the first part.
Brian Green
Okay, haven't. I haven't watched it, but I did read an article, 13 Things We Learned from Charlie Sheen's new doc.
Chris Hoadley
It's really good so far.
Brian Green
Okay. I cannot wait to get. I'm so over my head, busy right now that I know I don't have a moment to breathe. So many things going in million different directions. But I will get to it this week and I hope. Here's what I learned that I was really shocked by. Shocked. And I think it's. I don't know, it reminded me of D. The drug dealer that's in the program. I don't know if he's. I don't know if you've seen if he's popped up yet.
Chris Hoadley
I think he's in the second part. I don't. He hasn't popped up yet.
Brian Green
One of the things that's revealed in the documentary is that the drug dealer himself, the guy who was selling Charlie the cocaine, buying coke, cooking it up for him and making it into cracks so that Charlie could smoke it. And Charlie was smoking like, we're talking like baseball sized rocks of cocaine. Right? That's. I mean, I don't know because I was not a crack smoker, but I can only imagine that that just must have been like professional level crack addiction.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, yeah, yeah. He discusses how he got. How he started doing the crack, but.
Brian Green
Okay, yeah, his dealer became so concerned at Charlie's abuse and use and his own health and his decline during all of this drama that was going on with Two and a Half Men. And, you know, Charlie out there high on coke, you know, doing all These interviews and all this other stuff and that the dealer himself said, I think I kind of like this guy. Like, I think he's kind of my friend.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah. I don't want to see.
Brian Green
I don't want to die. Yeah. So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna start cooking the coke. I'm gonna start cooking the crack with less and less coke to make sure that Charlie doesn't kill himself.
Chris Hoadley
Okay?
Brian Green
And so he did that over the course of a year and a half until the coke was so shitty, like, the crack was so shitty that Charlie was just getting a headache from it. He was just getting sick. He was getting a headache. He wasn't getting high. And that led Charlie to believe that he was so, like, tolerant of cocaine that he could no longer get high and he needed help. He was getting sick, essentially because he was getting sick because he was just, like, smoking baking soda, essentially.
Chris Hoadley
Right?
Brian Green
So that really surprised me, and I love that. I love that little story. There's, like, a little. There's a little humanity in that story that makes me happy. I don't know why it's a story about Charlie Sheen and his crack dealer, but I don't know. But it made me feel kind of happy.
Chris Hoadley
Plus, that was a good money source, I'm sure.
Brian Green
Yeah, I thought, too. I thought, well, he's making more and more money every time Charlie asked for it back. I don't know. Listen, hey. Charlie is an enigma wrapped in enigma.
Chris Hoadley
It's a fascinating story.
Brian Green
So far, he's lived a life. One of the things that I hope that they address in this is Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. Because if you don't know, about 10 years ago, about a decade ago, Corey Haim died from a drug overdose himself. Corey Haim was a mess, and he was a mess. And him and Feldman kind of had this pact that they were going to out and take down sexual abusers inside of the entertainment.
Chris Hoadley
I remember that.
Brian Green
And only when Corey Haim passed did Corey Feldman feel, I guess he felt compelled to share what Corey Haim had shared with him. Which was one of the things was that on the set of Lucas where Charlie Sheen and Corey Haim are opposite each other, star in the movie, opposite each other. That. How do I say this without, you know, getting censored? Corey Haim was graped by Charlie Sheen. Graped. Think just figure that one out. Graped.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
Okay. Take the G off. Graped.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
By Charlie Sheen.
Chris Hoadley
Really?
Brian Green
On set of the movie.
Chris Hoadley
Really?
Brian Green
And Corey Feldman. You can find this out there. Corey Feldman then graphically explains what Corey Haim graphically explained to him. The place, the time, who was there, who wasn't there, all this other stuff. And so I. I don't know if it's going to be addressed, but I hope it's addressed because it's a pretty serious allegation.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, that is.
Brian Green
And, you know, I don't know, but that. That wouldn't look, that doesn't make me think fondly of. Of Charlie Sheen, at least not at that period. Oh, no, no, for sure. Without a doubt. Speaking of Corey Feldman, one last thing.
Chris Hoadley
We'Ll talk about before you love you some Corey.
Brian Green
I do love me some Corey Feldman. He's like the world's biggest goofball.
Chris Hoadley
He's still out there playing to the.
Brian Green
Oh, he's so fucking popular, but not for the reasons he wants to be. But I don't. I don't know if it matters anymore. Like, if we had 10,000 people that wanted to show up at the Fox Theater just to laugh at us because we were silly and stupid and terrible, I think at some point it would hurt. And then at some point it would just be like, okay, just go with it. Whatever fuck people are paying to go to the Fox Theater and laugh at us. Let them pay to laugh at us. And we'll all be in on the joke together. And we'll play. We'll play it up. We'll ham it up for whatever. Whatever it is they want. But Corey Feldman is out there not only creating music that's terrible and. And laughable, in my opinion, and then people go to watch the terrible, terrible, terribly laughable music that he puts out there. But Corey Feldman is now going to be on Dancing with the Stars. He was announced as one of the people that's going to be on Dancing with the Stars. Okay, so Corey is seeing a little bit of a resurgence in popularity here. And, you know, can't fault the guy for winning, can you? I mean, at the end of the.
Chris Hoadley
Day, no, not at all. I might tune in for that.
Brian Green
I think I have to. You do?
Chris Hoadley
You have to?
Brian Green
Yeah. I love watching Cory. I just. Anytime a Corey felt like something about him, he didn't have a Corey fight. There is something about him, and it's.
Chris Hoadley
Very nostalgic for us, too.
Brian Green
Well, I was never like. A lot of kids my age I think were like, the two Coreys were the coolest, you know, Feldman, I was not. It was not my thing. Lost Boys was cool.
Chris Hoadley
Lost Boys was good.
Brian Green
But I was a Kiefer Sutherland guy. Oh, I was in it for Kiefer Sutherland. Right. I thought he was the baddest ass on plan. Yeah. All the fangs and the red eyes. Yeah.
Chris Hoadley
I used to have the magazines and stuff, like bop and whatever.
Brian Green
Oh, you did? Oh, yeah, she had a bop.
Chris Hoadley
I would get those and they would have all the, you know, the splashy pages with, you know, the latest actors of the time.
Brian Green
Mm, mm, mm. Chrissy, they have like a cool thing.
Chris Hoadley
You could pull it out and put it on your wall.
Brian Green
I could see little Chrissy just on her bed like this.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
No phone, no iPad. Right.
Chris Hoadley
You didn't have it?
Brian Green
No. DirecTV.
Chris Hoadley
Just checking in with your favorite stars, imagining what your favorite teen stars.
Brian Green
Imagining what her and Corey would do on a day at the mall. We go to Spencer's and get our ears pierced.
Chris Hoadley
It's weird. Cause I don't remember having like too of, you know, like, oh my God, I'm so in love with them. But it was very interesting to me. Like, what are they up to? What do they do?
Brian Green
They're cool. Yeah. But listen, they were living a dream that I was not living. I think I. I think I appreciated them for that, is that they were, you know, they were older than me at the time, but they. But maybe I could be there someday. Maybe I could be living.
Chris Hoadley
I could be in that world. Yeah.
Brian Green
I could be a Brad Packer. Right, right. And the Bratpackers were way older than me, but you know, Roblo and Molly Ringwald.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
All those kids. So anyway. All right, well, listen, to address the elephant in the room, yesterday we put out an episode where Gary Vee and I had an opportunity to commiserate over the events of the day. You can go listen to it. I'm not going to rehash all of that. We're going to take a. I think it's. We're just going to leave it alone at this point. But to address another thing, Chrissy wasn't here because of a scheduling conflict. And that. So that's why you do not hear Chrissy in that episode. There's been a few people who texted it.
Chris Hoadley
I couldn't make it.
Brian Green
It's okay. I think we had a good conversation with you did.
Chris Hoadley
You did a good job.
Brian Green
Thank you. I appreciate it. And a lot of people texted in and shared that they felt better after the episode or it was good that I put it out. Thank you very much. And then a few people were concerned that you weren't there. Let me repeat again. It was a scheduling conflict. Scheduling conflictual. It had nothing like, we didn't fire Chrissy or anything.
Chris Hoadley
It's actually a funny story behind it, but.
Brian Green
Yeah, but we're not going to. Yeah, we'll leave it. We'll leave it at that. I don't want to embarrass anybody. Wasn't our fault this time. Actually wasn't our fault. We just rolled with the punches.
Chris Hoadley
Yes, you did.
Brian Green
Okay, let's take a break from everything today. Let me do a mountain monsters. Let's do a mountain.
Chris Hoadley
We need some mountain monsters in our life right now.
Brian Green
Let's have a giggle.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I'll.
Brian Green
I'll take a break. I'll load one up, and when we get back, a mountain monsters.

I was thinking about it and I was like, we need some mountain monsters, don't we?
Brian Green
I agree with you. I agree with you. We need to lighten the mood a little bit. It's a dark time, so let's go into the dark with a mountain monster.
Chris Hoadley
With our infrared lights.
Brian Green
With our infrared lights.
Chris Hoadley
Our night goggles.
Brian Green
Let's get the night vision out. Oh, by the way, this is Huck and Chuck. And get kidnapped.
Chris Hoadley
Get kidnapped.
Brian Green
Yeah. This should be a good one.
Chris Hoadley
Wood Cat. Where are they? Wood County.
Brian Green
Wood County. Wood County, Virginia. Let me turn that.
Chris Hoadley
Oh my God, look at. He's got a mask on.
Brian Green
Oh my God.
Chris Hoadley
Oh. Are these the kidnappers?
Brian Green
Yes. Oh.
Chris Hoadley
Why are they building them?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Oh, that road team pushed all three of our guys in the back of that van. Me and Wild Bill's gonna haul ass across this field.
Brian Green
Me and Wild Bill gonna haul ass off this field. They let me out temporarily to do this video and then I have to get back to kidnapped. I'm screaming loudly in the hopes that someone comes to save us and try.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
To catch up with them. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's.
Brian Green
Go, let's go, let's go. We got all these guns, but let's not use them. If you don't use the guns. And this in the case of kidnapping, when are you going to use the guns? Yeah, they're right there. Shoot them.
Chris Hoadley
There's chasing a van on foot and this guy says, damn, don't you feel alive?
Brian Green
I do. Oh, and by the way, two 83 year old men who've been down at the wacking tree chasing after a brand new Ford focus van. Yeah, it's not gonna do it.
Chris Hoadley
That's what I was saying. Why are they on foot?
Brian Green
Well, because, you know, where's their four by whatever they call it.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Oh, come on. What?
Brian Green
The Monster mobile.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
What? Where we going? We're gonna go for a little ride.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, they kidnapped him with their mics on.
Brian Green
That's right. We put microphones on the kidnappers.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We have somebody that wants to talk to you guys.
Brian Green
We have somebody that wants to talk to you guys. His name is Mr. Big.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Let's go. Come on, let's go.
Brian Green
Him.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Brother boy. Beat Pete over there and get Bucks.
Chris Hoadley
I didn't understand anything he said.
Brian Green
It's so good.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Duck and follow.
Brian Green
Expert tracker.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We're the only backup the team's got. We got to catch up with them, Bill.
Chris Hoadley
Now they're in a vehicle.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Back up.
Brian Green
Why does he always sound like he's got more air in his mouth than he's.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I see him now stay back.
Brian Green
I don't want to get too close. Turn on.
Chris Hoadley
Don't get too close. Why not?
Brian Green
Turn on 107.6.
Chris Hoadley
Stay back.
Brian Green
That they got a marathon.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Brakes.
Brian Green
Stay back. You have your headlights on you. You're the only ones in the middle of this field. But stay back.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Only stopping for moves. Now you can have your camera back.
Brian Green
Now you can have your camera back. So you can take evidence to the police. I've got news for you. The man I'm taking You to see is the sheriff of these here woods. Sheriff. Not in ham.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
You don't know where the hell you're at. You can film all you want now, big boy.
Brian Green
Say cheese.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
The van stops, A guy gets out and comes back and gives us her camera.
Chris Hoadley
I'm filming, but they've got hoods on.
Brian Green
Yeah, and Buck's got a lot of. On his shirt.
Chris Hoadley
God, he looks like he has a bra on.
Brian Green
He does. Huck needs to get that to the dry cleaners immediately. That is the dirtiest shirt I've ever seen on a person.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, it's bad.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We must be so far out.
Brian Green
Yeah, they're. Yeah. By the way, they have, like, corn sack hoods on them. Like the scarecrow.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Matter if we start recording? Because no one's gonna recognize where we're at anyway.
Brian Green
Because no one's gonna take this for evidence when we give it to the FBI. I don't know, but I don't remember seeing in the news that these guys got kidnapped.
Chris Hoadley
No, it was. It didn't make the news.
Brian Green
And by the way, why are you talking outside of the van if you're kidnapped inside of the van?
Chris Hoadley
This has really gone off the rails.
Brian Green
It's a bit incongruent, but let me not point out the obvious. Let's roll with the imaginary. Let's roll with the imaginary. Here, Chrissy. All right.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
You have her? Yeah, I'm doing fine.
Brian Green
Yeah, I'm doing fine. You got a Bud Light?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We're talking to a minimum. You guys have no idea what you done got your left.
Brian Green
You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.
Chris Hoadley
Well, did they?
Brian Green
These guys chase mythological tiger camels for a living. They absolutely have an idea of what they're getting themselves into. He's making a left, Right?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Here we go, guys. What are they stopping for? Showing up a little bit, see what's going on.
Brian Green
Yeah, let's just stay way far behind so as not to rescue them on accident.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
There, like home. Stay calm.
Brian Green
You guys. Ease right out. Out of there. Huck has never eased right out of any anywhere. Poor boy. He is huge.
Chris Hoadley
Really is.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Back up camera.
Chris Hoadley
Back up, back up camera.
Brian Green
Yeah, backup camera. Why are you just letting the cameraman walk around? What is going. What kind of kidnapping is this?
Chris Hoadley
One kind that could happen in Wood County, Virginia.
Brian Green
Wood County, Virginia.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Guys, right now I'm getting led into this old, creepy building. We have no idea what these guys want or what the hell they're capable of. Cameraman.
Chris Hoadley
I love that he's narrating his own kidnapping.
Brian Green
Seriously, they are. There's nothing. There's no. These are the worst kidnappers in the history of kidnapping.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
You get right on in there. We gotta get to them, guys.
Brian Green
Oh, I think we've seen the end of this one. This is looking familiar to me now. I think we do see the end of this one. Like a mythological creature saves them from certain destruction.
Chris Hoadley
Really?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We go into our camera guy. Keep your mouth shut about what we do.
Brian Green
Yeah, they're chaining them to the floor. Interesting. But it kind of. It kind of drops the suspense level a little bit when you know that they're already been released.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
So when they do these cutaway videos when they're talking to the camera solo, it, you know, I already know that they've been released, and that kind of drops the. The scare factor. Yeah, I'm not really all that worried for them because they look fine in the cutaway videos.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
My cabin should be right up here. Me and brother Willie, we're recon around this cabin. We're gonna get up there and put an eyeball on, see what the hell is going on with our team.
Brian Green
I'm gonna run in circles around the cabin.
Chris Hoadley
That guy. That way. That guy talks.
Brian Green
I know. I'm gonna run around in circles around the cabin with my pants down. And then Willie's gonna go in there and stick his pink pony right in the hole. We're gonna see if we can't jizz him out of there. It's a good old fashioned jizz.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Remember? Sit down. I said sit down. Sit down. Go easy, guys.
Brian Green
Go easy, guys. I mean, you already done kidnapped us. You gotta push us around too. Yeah.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Come on, big boy. We walk into this cabin, it's pitch dark. Yeah.
Brian Green
Come on, big boy. Give it to me.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
They slam us down into these chairs. I can only imagine that guy pee his pants.
Brian Green
Did I see pee in his pants? I think he did. Let's see. Yep, there's the tail of the tape. Oh, a little pee pee poo poo.
Chris Hoadley
Or is that the. The shadow from the camera?
Brian Green
Well, I'd like to imagine this pee, pee, pee, peeing his pants.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I can only imagine what's going to happen next.
Brian Green
I'm getting really excited about what's happening next.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
It'll be all right.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Oh, oh.
Brian Green
I guess we can turn the thermals off now.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
There's a huge bright light just turned.
Chris Hoadley
Like a floodlight.
Brian Green
Yeah, but we're still in black and white thermal mode. Oh, oh. There we go.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Kicks on right in our face. You can see a mirror on the wall and you can see a speaker and a camera.
Brian Green
Wow, someone really thought this out very well. Yeah, they thought the kidnapping of the mountain monsters out to a T. They built a cabin in the woods with a two way mirror and a camera and a light.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I've never seen a place like this, but it looks like an interrogation room. Why are we here?
Brian Green
You'll find out soon enough. I don't know who the Medicare left here. Meanwhile, you know, frickin fracker outside, they don't know what to do except to talk to the camera. You guys gotta go in, use your guns. Well, I'll tell you what.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Well, if you felt. If you sit back, you're doing shows.
Chris Hoadley
Sit back and enjoy the show.
Brian Green
Yeah, sit back and enjoy the show. I now present to you Ghost Hunter Season 2 on Travel Channel.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
What is this place? This whole situation is weird. We can get up and walk out of here at any time.
Brian Green
Then why don't you?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
But if we want answers, we gotta see what's next. Listen, walk around. There's somebody in there. Hello.
Brian Green
Hello. You don't happen to have any deli meat back there, do you?
Chris Hoadley
A Mountain Dew.
Brian Green
A Mountain Dew. A submarine sandwich. I'm very scared. I get scared. I get the bubble guts. I need something to settle my tummy down and my friend here done pissed himself.
Chris Hoadley
He needs a fresh pair of pants.
Brian Green
Yeah, if you got an extra pair of drawers. I appreciate it. I know we could get up and walk out at any time, but we're just curious by nature. We thought we'd stay here and for certain death and figure out what's going on.
Chris Hoadley
See the show.
Brian Green
You don't mind if my cameraman walks around and takes some photographs, do you?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Hello. Why are we here?
Chris Hoadley
All right, Buck's getting up.
Brian Green
Yeah, Buck's getting up. He's going for it.
Chris Hoadley
Going head to eyeball to eyeball with the mirror.
Brian Green
Yeah, eyeball to eyeball with himself. Right to the straight to the two way mirror where he can't see through.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Hello?
Brian Green
Grandma, is that you? I told you boys not to be running around in the woods. Oh. Oh, cool.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Sit down. Sit down.
Chris Hoadley
Like out of a haunted house.
Brian Green
I've ordered dominoes and we're all going to watch the seven little Johnstons together. It gets lonely out here. What tomfoolery is going on here? All right, let's take a break. We'll get back to the kidnapping here very shortly. We'll be back.

A nurse practitioner from UnitedHealthcare. We meet patients wherever they live. During a house call, she found Jack had an issue.
Rachel
Jack's blood pressure was dangerously high.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
It was 217 over 110.
Brian Green
So they got Jack to the hospital and got him the help he needed.
Chris Hoadley
He had had a stent placed in.
Rachel
His heart, preventing a massive heart attack.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
If it wasn't for my guardian angel, I wouldn't be here.
Brian Green
Here, hear more stories like Jax@unitedhealthcare.com benefits, features and or devices vary by plan. Area limitation and exclusions apply. Okay, and we're back with Huck and Chuck and the boys and they are currently kidnapped, if that's what you call kind of kidnapped. Yeah, their hands are tied behind their backs. Unless they're not tied behind their backs or tied in the front of their backs. And they're chained to the floor. Unless they're not chained to the floor.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, then the other guy, he. His hands are out in front, but bucks are in back. I don't know what's happening.
Brian Green
Yeah, and. And he. Did he pee himself? Oh, is that just the color of the jeans?
Chris Hoadley
The color of the jeans.
Brian Green
Okay, well, that blows my imaginary joke out of the water.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Sitting. Damn, I'm sitting. As soon as that skeleton appeared in my face and said Sit down.
Brian Green
I knew you could buy it at Home Depot for 24.99 every Halloween season.
Chris Hoadley
It does look like it's straight out of, like, the cheap mask.
Brian Green
Those Halloween stories that pop up.
Chris Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
Spirito Halloween.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I sat down. There's not a whole lot of things that scare me, but that did.
Brian Green
That's why I'm not allowed at Costco. Between September 4th and November 3rd, you.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Got to kill the stone as giant.
Brian Green
Yeah, yeah.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
No, hey, wrong.
Brian Green
Here's the guy that killed the stone is giant.
Chris Hoadley
That was pretty specific.
Brian Green
That was really specific. He knew exactly.
Chris Hoadley
And then the guy goes, no, try again.
Brian Green
You're the guy who killed John T. McGillicuddy. Born 1933, Chicago, Illinois. No. Would you like to try again? I like this game.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We're going to play until you get it right.
Brian Green
Oh, my God.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
What do you want with us? I want to make a deal. A deal?
Brian Green
Yes. I have some tops, baseball cards from 1984 that I can't sell on the open market because. Because they've been slightly dented. You buy them and I will let your family live. I need a receipt and a bit of sale.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I tell you what, right now, boy, there's no way in hell we're gonna help you kill another damn bigfoot.
Brian Green
How do you know I'm old?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I never said I was after a bigfoot. What are you after? I want you to go back to Lee County, Virginia, Back to the dark forest. And I want you to pick up.
Brian Green
All the trash that you left there.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
To capture the woman of the woods.
Brian Green
Oh, the good old woman of the woods. We've heard about the woman of the woods.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah. Was that the one where what's his name fell into the ice cold water.
Brian Green
And he couldn't get out? He was shaking. And there was like an image of a small girl running around the woods. Yep, that's it.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
The woman of the woods. One of the woods is someone we don't want to mess with. This team's already had one heck of an encounter with her. When we were in Lee County. She touched Huckleberry and Jeff.
Brian Green
She tried to whack them both off, but they weren't into it, got scared.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
And marked them for death.
Chris Hoadley
It just flashed to the previous time, I guess. They saw the woman in the woods and one of them, one of them.
Brian Green
Just like an Indian with more paint on his face. He's got like a benetton shirt on.
Chris Hoadley
And like a headpiece.
Brian Green
He's got a headband with a long feather. He's screaming into the Void. This looks like my weekend.
Chris Hoadley
The cacao ceremony really does.
Brian Green
Yeah. Look at mushroom ceremony. I think a few people were doing the same thing.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Ended up facing off with her. His hut collapsed down on him and walked off with her.
Brian Green
And now we haven't seen him since.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
When we found him, he's bleeding. He's bleeding. He was covered in blood.
Brian Green
Yep. That's as realistic looking blood as I've seen in a long time.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
He threw this team for a loop and she affected Jeff's mind. Maybe for life. All right.
Brian Green
Maybe for life. Life.
Chris Hoadley
They're so dramatic.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
We help you get this woman of the wood.
Brian Green
They really are. They're really overdramatic. By the way, why is there a stereo in the background? Are they gonna play some music later?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
How's this benefit us?
Brian Green
Let me make a deal with you. Since my hands are tied behind my back. What do we get out of it?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I have something you want. What's that?
Brian Green
Deep dish pizza from Chicago.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
If you capture don't have the woods in exchange I'll bring you those who killed the stone giant.
Chris Hoadley
Stone is giant?
Brian Green
Oh, they want to get their hands on the stoneish giant killer. For what reason? I don't know. I don't watch the show. What are you asking me about?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
You didn't kill him. No. But you know who did. And I know where the bodies added. He says he can deliver who killed the stone as giant and let us know where the body is if he.
Brian Green
Can make and we really want to know.
Chris Hoadley
Telling me to believe him.
Brian Green
Yeah. Something, I don't know trustworthy about it, but the skeleton mask behind the two wave mirrors seems trustworthy. So I'm deciding in order for them to release me from my kidnapping, I will agree to such a deal.
Chris Hoadley
The other guy who's just sitting. Jeff, I think is his name. He's just sitting there with his hands in front of him. Just sitting in the.
Brian Green
Yeah, because he's like, holy shit. I gotta go to the woman of the woods again. Last time I ended up with my pasty white legs all full of blood Deal.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
That's something we're really gonna have to consider. Go to the dark forest and you'll find what you're looking for. Right down through there.
Brian Green
All right.
Chris Hoadley
Swarm, we got the other two out.
Brian Green
Yeah. Now the other two guys have decided they're gonna move in.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
How do we know you'll keep good on your deal? I've never.
Brian Green
You can have my car keys.
Chris Hoadley
I've never lied to you.
Brian Green
I've never lied. I've never lied to you. He said, I've never lied to you.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Lied to you, and I never will. Yeah, you kind of did because you told us she was going to contact us. We sat around by the phone for months.
Chris Hoadley
Give them hell.
Brian Green
Give them hell. I sat there waiting for you to call for months.
Chris Hoadley
I sat around the phone for months.
Brian Green
You told me you could pick me up, take me out somewhere. Eyes. It's all lies. I wash dishes, I clean the house. I take care of the chitlins. And all you do is lie, lie, lie. I'm done with you, stoneish giant killer.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
You speak with such certainty. There are secrets you've yet to learn.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, Jedi master.
Brian Green
Yes. What the?
Chris Hoadley
You have secrets left to learn.
Brian Green
Secrets you have not learned yet. I do. You must kill stoneish giant. And then I will tell you. I will.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I don't know what that means. So far it seems like one big riddle after the next.
Brian Green
I don't know what that means, but it does not coordinate with the storyboarding we did for season three.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Right now we're playing by his rules and I'm about tired of it. Everything you need is in front of you.
Brian Green
A stereo, a light, a two way mirror, candlestick, a candlestick, a candlestick, a matchmaker, a matchstick, and a widowmaker.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Where'd you go? Hey.
Brian Green
I can't do this voice forever. It hurts my throat. I gotta get some tea.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
I don't know who in the hell this guy is, but he claims that everything we need to catch this woman of the woods is right in front of us. See that moving in that left window again?
Brian Green
Yeah. The mirror. It's you guys. That's what you need, you dumb shit. It's not that hard of a riddle to figure out.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Yeah, I see somebody moving around a bunch. Jeff, I had you zip tied in front for a reason. I know you don't have no shoulder problems.
Brian Green
I know you don't have no shoulder problems.
Rachel
I know.
Chris Hoadley
He was zip tied. I didn't see that. I thought he was just sitting there.
Brian Green
But I'm figuring to give you one. If you could do me a favor and wrap your short arms around my body, we could stay together for warmth. Oh, we can just walk right out of here. Can you just hug me anyway?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
They patted up down. They missed a knife in the right top part of his boot. We're getting antsy. It's about time to get out of here.
Brian Green
We're getting antsy. I gotta do a number two and Jeff's done pissed himself again.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Me out of these things. Get the hell out of here.
Chris Hoadley
Get that one off the camera.
Brian Green
Yeah, the little red camera. The. Like the nest camera. Recording everything they do.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Answer's right in front of our face. I'm tired of these guys. The answer's right in front of our face. I want to see yours.
Chris Hoadley
Oh.
Brian Green
Oh. He's throwing the chair through the window. Don't get violent. Oh, now's the time to run. Now the guys outside decide to move. Yeah, they've been in there for an hour and a half. Death talking to the stone. Ish. Giant killer.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Hail bully.
Brian Green
Come on. Get over.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
What in the hell? What is the holy.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
It's a hog's head.
Brian Green
What the. He is a hog's head.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Well, Buck throws that chair through that mirror, all of a sudden, right there behind it, this damn hog's head on a stake. Blood coming out of its nose, its ears, its eyes. What the hell does that mean?
Chris Hoadley
What's the signature leave behind?
Brian Green
Yeah, that's what the stone is. Giant killer leaves. That's his calling card. Pig's head. Yeah, it's also the symbol for a lot of barbecue places in town. So, you know, could be one of the barbecue place owners. I don't know. I'm just saying. Now I'll shoot you. Shoot me? Shoot you?
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, those guys showed up and. No, look.
Brian Green
They're pointing the guns at the guys. They know.
Chris Hoadley
It's so stupid.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Look in here. Check it out. What the hell?
Brian Green
What do you mean, what the hell?
Chris Hoadley
What the hell?
Brian Green
A Hogan. A hogan. I love pig's ears. Let's get them. Let's pickle those bad boys and have some dinner. It really does. Poor thing. It's got bat ears.
Chris Hoadley
It's.
Brian Green
Someone in the prop department went wrong on this one.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Dang.
Brian Green
That's not how a pig's ears look.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
What's that all about? I don't know. We gotta figure out how we're gonna get Zach unchained again. Chained up like an elephant. Are you freaking serious?
Chris Hoadley
Like an elephant.
Brian Green
He's laying right here.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Ernest Thomas. Man, look at that. How'd you not see that?
Brian Green
Dude, you're such a dumb ass.
Chris Hoadley
Else.
Brian Green
I hate you. I've hated you said you joined the crew.
Chris Hoadley
Who was changed.
Brian Green
The cameraman was changed. That's how it all went down.
Mountain Monsters Narrator
Let's get out here and look and see if we can see anybody.
Brian Green
Yeah, let's do that.
Chris Hoadley
I mean, he's asking the cameraman how he missed the key. Yeah, the cameraman always misses the.
Brian Green
The cameraman hasn't missed. The cameraman is known to miss. That's what he does. He didn't get the woman of the woods. He didn't get the Bigfoot. He didn't get the, you know, lion manes, Tiger. Yeah, the wolfish. He didn't get the Stonish giant. He didn't get any of it. What?
Mountain Monsters Narrator
In here? Holy. I'm telling you guys, there was someone in here. He was standing right there talking to us. We never seen nobody leave. Guys, they're. They're gone. There's nothing else we can do.
Brian Green
Guys. There's nothing else we can do. Let's not call the authoritas. Let's not get the FBI involved, local sheriff, the community helper or anything like that.
Chris Hoadley
No, no, no.
Brian Green
Because there's nothing we can do. Absolutely nothing.
Chris Hoadley
Wow.
Brian Green
Ah, geez. What an exciting episode. Monsters, adrenaline. That's only nine minutes of the 48 minute episode. What did they fill the rest with? I mean, honestly. Oh, wow. We. All right.
Chris Hoadley
They never disappoint.
Brian Green
They do never disappoint. It gave me a laugh for the first time in 24 hours. So that I appreciate. Good for you, mountain monsters. Good for you. All right, well, listen, it's good to have you back.
Chris Hoadley
Yes, good to be back.
Brian Green
You know, if you care to, you can go listen to yesterday's episode. That's me and Gary Vee having a little chat about the day's events. And yeah, listen, we gotta rev down a little bit. We've been saying it for a long time, but now this might be a moment where we all can find some clarity and rev down just a. Just a little bit. It's too hot in the kitchen. It's way too hot in the kitchen. And violence only begets violence. And we know this for a fact. So let's everybody take a deep breath and agree to disagree on some things. But maybe like Gary and I did, we just have some calm, rational conversation and work it through. Now I don't have a lot of faith that that's going to happen everywhere around the world, but it'll happen right here on the commercial break.

Anyway, I do want to thank Gary for coming on. He selflessly said, I don't want to promote anything on this episode. So go check out Gary Vee's social media. He's got a marketing company if you need help.
Chris Hoadley
He's an interesting guy.
Brian Green
Very interesting. He started like one of the first Wands 9 clubs. You know, he's, he, he's done it all. He's been very successful. He's into NFTs and cryptocurrency in a way that I think is meaningful. Check him out. Do a little research on Gary Vee. If you don't know who he is, but I have a suspicion you know who he is. He's pretty famous and. Yeah. And then we'll be back next week. Have a great weekend. We'll be back next week with Salva Kano. Check out that Chrissy. What do you think? Think about that.

Episode: Kidnap The Stonish Giant!
Release Date: September 12, 2025
Hosts: Bryan Green & Krissy Hoadley
This episode of The Commercial Break delivers a wild ride blending improv comedy, pop culture tangents, and a signature deep-dive into absurd entertainment. Bryan and Krissy, in their trademark chaotic chemistry, mine gold from a viral “Waffle House napper” story, 1980s nostalgia for the Coreys, the rockstar cocaine pipeline, and a bonkers breakdown of a “Mountain Monsters” episode entitled “Kidnap The Stonish Giant.” Listeners get a hilarious, unfiltered banter fest, with standout bits of dark humor, callback jokes, and meta-commentary.
"Don't fuck up while you're fucking up. That's the one thing you can't do if you're going to do your shit."
— Bryan [05:00]
“Let’s go to Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood and be in the imaginary kingdom... I hereby declare this to be brown cocaine vial day.”
— Bryan [09:44]
“His dealer became so concerned…he started cooking the crack with less and less coke…He was getting sick because he was just like, smoking baking soda.”
— Bryan [16:49]
[27:21–54:31]
Bryan and Krissy launch into a live riff/recap of a “Mountain Monsters” episode—the Discovery/Travel Channel series where self-styled mountain men hunt for cryptids. The featured plot: cast members are unconvincingly kidnapped as part of their quest for the ominous “Stonish Giant.”

“Don’t fuck up while you’re fucking up. That’s the one thing you can’t do if you’re going to do your shit.” — Bryan [05:00]
“Let’s go to Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood and be in the imaginary kingdom…I hereby declare this to be brown cocaine vial day.” — Bryan [09:44]
“There’s nothing, there’s no—these are the worst kidnappers in history.” — Bryan [33:30]
"That's only nine minutes of the 48-minute episode. What did they fill the rest with?" — Bryan [54:12]
This episode is a showcase of The Commercial Break’s formula: off-the-cuff riffing on life’s oddities, affectionate mockery of pop culture, and a warm, if slightly offbeat, call for unity in turbulent times. The “Mountain Monsters” parody is a particular high point, offering catharsis and comic relief for listeners in need of a break from reality.
