Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. Opening Banter: Cheesy 90s References and Word of the Day

(00:00–05:32)

• Bryan muses absurdly about the first person in history who wanted straighter teeth, setting the tone for random, lighthearted humor.
• Krissy introduces a “word of the day” segment with bonhomie (“cheerful friendliness and geniality”), prompting playful mispronunciations and jokes about classing up the show:
  • Bryan (04:13): “It means cheerful friendliness and geniality. Oh, well, bonhomie to you and a…”
  • Hosts joke about their show’s distinct lack of “class” but surplus of “sass” and “ass.”

---

2. DIY Woes and the Saga of the Grumpy Recycling Center Guy

(05:32–19:16)

The DIY Soundproofing Fiasco

• The hosts retell their disastrous attempt at building and hanging sound panels for the studio, making fun of their lack of handyman skills and the ultimate rescue by Bryan’s highly competent father-in-law.

The Recycling Center Ordeal

• Bryan’s weekly trips to the local recycling center turn into a recurring nightmare due to an overzealous worker obsessively policing residency and requiring physical ID, even when Bryan provides multiple proofs.
• Bryan (11:19): “There is one [worker] who has to ruin my day every time… now I drive an extra five miles not to go to that recycling center.”
• Despite being a regular customer, Bryan repeatedly gets hassled. The worker refuses electronic ID, physically returns recycling to Bryan’s car, and demands to physically touch Bryan’s license for verification.
• Discussion on the environmental irresponsibility of Amazon’s shipping practices and the irony of obstacles for those trying to recycle responsibly.
• Bryan (14:52): “You work at a fucking recycling center. You are not the CI Goddamn A. Why would you need to touch my driver’s license?”
• Eventually, Bryan takes his kids on a literal stakeout from a neighboring gas station to avoid the problematic worker.

Krissy's Local Angle

• Krissy shares her own recycling drama—her center requires appointments, possibly to thwart “illegal dumping.” The hosts mock the idea of criminals so dedicated to recycling that they travel interstate to properly drop off boxes.
• Krissy (17:00): “You have to make an appointment to get drop off your goddamn recycling.”

---

3. TV Talk: True Detective, Happy Valley, and Streaming Woes

(23:54–38:38)

True Detective Deep Dive

• Bryan’s obsession with the series, from binging the first moody, “mystical” season to critiquing later seasons and speculating wildly about the new “corpsicle” mystery in the current run.
• Bryan (24:27): “So moody and cool and… could it be? Would it be? Is there ghosts? Are there dragons? What’s going on? There’s circles, lots of circles. I like circles.”
• Both hosts celebrate Jodie Foster’s performance and tangent into her other works (“Contact,” “Silence of the Lambs”).

General Streaming Frustrations

• Discussion about the proliferation of streaming subscriptions, hidden charges, and Amazon’s new ad-supported Prime Video experience.
• Bryan (34:04): “You are now watching ad-supported Prime TV… For an additional $2.99 a month you can go ad free. And I was like—the fuck?”

---

4. Ask TCB Segment: Sibling (Sort of) Love

(43:00–53:27)

The Question

• A listener (“Angela”) asks for advice: Her “sister” (technically a former stepsister, no blood relation) wants to start a relationship with another former stepbrother, Rob. Angela is conflicted but admits there’s nothing technically wrong; she’s more wary of Rob’s womanizing reputation.

Hosts’ Reactions

• Bryan—ever irreverent—suggests tongue-in-cheek that they “put it on Pornhub,” referencing how step-sibling scenarios are trending in adult media.
  • Bryan (48:07): “Videotape it and put it on Pornhub, because I think it’s going to make a lot of money…”
• Both ultimately land on a live-and-let-live stance, provided no one’s being hurt—emphasizing that love is complicated, families are messy, and what matters is the sincerity of the relationship.
  • Chrissy (51:15): “I mean, I guess they haven’t been siblings even for a while…”
  • Bryan (50:41): “If they love each other, they love each other.”
• They express support for people finding connection wherever it happens, as long as it’s healthy.

---

5. Nostalgic Music Tangent

(53:27–57:51)

• Spirited reminiscing about the 90s Seattle scene—Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers—and which classic albums have stood the test of time.
• Bryan (57:10): “When I think of great albums… I think of Nevermind. But it wouldn’t be my first choice… I just don’t know if it’s aged as well as some of the other music of that time.”
• Ends with a tongue-in-cheek admission of his own lack of art credentials:
  • Bryan (57:40): “That’s the thing about art is that Brian is constantly critiquing and knows nothing about it…”

---

6. Tech Anxiety: Neuralink Brain Implants

(57:51–65:27)

• Discussion of Neuralink’s first human brain implant and its potential to empower people with paralysis, balanced against concerns about invasive technology, animal testing, privacy, and unintended consequences.
  • Bryan (60:43): “My private thoughts are my private thoughts. It’s like I tell my children, ‘Your privates are your privates, including your thoughts.’”
• Scenario comedy: Bryan imagines future social disasters when intrusive tech mishaps accidentally blurt NSFW thoughts.
• Both hosts express trepidation about where the technology could go if it becomes mainstream for less essential purposes.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the recycling guard’s authority issues:

  • "Do you really think that you’re like some fiefdom here at the fucking recycling center and you’re the king of the fiefdom?" (16:18, Bryan)

• On modern streaming subscriptions:

  • “You give me boxes that are too big and now you want me to pay $2.99 for an ad free experience?” (34:04, Bryan)

• On pop culture consumption:

  • “You want ideas, I got ideas all day long… you want work, go to someone else for that.” (38:38, Bryan)

• On step-sibling romance:

  • “At 30 years old, you are adults. And there are adults doing a lot worse in this world than having sex with a stepsister.” (52:03, Bryan)

• On Neuralink’s possible unintended effects:

  • “What if someone walked in and you were just like, ‘Nice dicks’? What? I’m afraid this thing would go amok. Like, I would just be totally... I’d be busted in every situation…” (61:44, Bryan)

---

Conclusion & Tone

The episode is a quintessential Commercial Break meander—quirky, irreverent, on-the-nose about the mundane (and absurd) struggles of daily life, with sharp comedic timing and self-awareness of its own chaos. Bryan and Krissy use their easy friendship and lack of filter to dissect not only the weirdness of recycling bureaucracy but also broader issues of technology, streaming fatigue, TV mysteries, unconventional relationships, and personal growth (or lack thereof). For listeners seeking laughs and relatable, cathartic commiseration, it’s a solid entry in the show’s loose but lively canon.

I like to take, like to take a break but I'm phone La la la la la la la la apparently that guy had some respect in the. I think we talked about this on the show and like, apparently he had some respect in the community. They were like, oh, yeah, man, this shit's a jam. And I'm like, that shit's a jam. I'm white, and I know that shit's not the jam. I'm 13, I'm white, and I realize that's not the way forward. That is not solving any of the problems. Yeah. On this earth at this time. All right, go ahead with your word of the day. Chrissy's now got a new segment she wants to called word of the day.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Well, I thought it, you know, might be a little go.

[Brian Green]

Fuller is yours.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You know, let's throw in some actual facts.

[Brian Green]

Oh, well, don't go crazy. Don't go crazy.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

The word for today is bonhome, which kind of goes with what we were just thinking.

[Brian Green]

Bon homie. Is that how you say bonhome? Okay, I'm going to guess that this is a German word. Bonhomme. Is it spelled B A H O m m E, B a N H o M m e?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No, it is B O N, B.

[Brian Green]

O N H O M I E. Oh, bonhommey. Okay.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's actually French.

[Brian Green]

It's French word. I'm gonna guess that this is some kind of pastry. Am I right? Is it a pastry?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No, it lick me.

[Brian Green]

Boom boom.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It means cheerful friendliness and geniality.

[Brian Green]

Oh, well, bonhomie to you and a.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Bon homie to you.

[Brian Green]

I'm in such a bonhomme mood.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And they said next time you sing the song, you know, for he's a jolly good.

[Brian Green]

For he is a jolly good fellow.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

For he's a bon homie, a jolly bon homie.

[Brian Green]

Oh, that's a good one. Okay. Bon homie, are you feeling bon homie today? Like, is it a feeling? Is it an adjective? He's feeling bon homie or he is bon homie?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Examples in a sentence. The show was well received due to the co host. Bon homie.

[Brian Green]

Oh, well, now you're the. You're the bon homie homie. I was gonna say about homie broad, but I guess that's language from like 1950. I probably shouldn't use it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Here's another one. Jess extended the same. The same bon homie to everyone she met.

[Brian Green]

Oh.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Whether friend nor or stranger, I've never.

[Brian Green]

Heard that word before in my entire life. That's right.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That's why we're passing things up around here.

[Brian Green]

Classing things up around here. It's gonna take A lot more than Bon Homie to class things up around here. If there's one thing that the commercial break is not, it's full of class. Full of sass. Maybe full of ass sometimes, but full of class, no. Well, thank you for trying. I really appreciate it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And to the audience, be more bonhomey about this.

[Brian Green]

Listen, it's hard. My natural disposition is anti Bon homie. I'm in Bonhommy. What would the opposite of that be? What would be the negative on Bonhomie or in Bonhomie? I don't know.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That's mean.

[Brian Green]

You know who's not Bon Homie?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Who's that?

[Brian Green]

I'll tell you who's not Bon homie is the guy at my recycling place is not Bonhome. Did I tell this story about the recycling dude?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No, but I've been to your recycling place with you. One time after we went to Home Depot, we were building the studio.

[Brian Green]

Go get more wires. We don't need. I've got $6,000 worth of wires.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And we were stapling. We were stapling cloth.

[Brian Green]

Oh yeah. And we did such a terrible job. So we were making these soundproof panels. You can't see them, they're right above us right here. But the room has tall ceilings. So we were putting some soundproof paneling because I was. Because I'm absolutely obnoxious about my sound. And I could hear it bounce. I could hear the sound bouncing back and forth causing a little bit of an echo. So we made these. We decided let's do it homemade. Because they're very expensive. You get them custom made. They're like twelve hundred dollars. And I'm like, I can do this. Get some insulation, some foam, put it on. We'll build a frame and then we'll throw the foam on top of it. And then we'll put this soundproof like cloth over it and it'll look nice and neat. Well, Chrissy and I did Brian and.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Chrissy to the Home Depot.

[Brian Green]

We go to the Home Depot.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

We didn't know where anything was.

[Brian Green]

I have no idea. First time I've ever used a saw in my entire life I didn't cut my dick off. I mean, seriously. So I'm out there sawing. I'm not measuring anything.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No, no, no.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. This measure, it called for an angle. So, you know, be together nice and neat. But I didn't do that. I. So what it looks like it just was a total kafukta job. And so we hang it up and then my father in law comes in like a month later, he stares at the ceiling and he goes, the is that. And I'm like, it's a soundproof panel. I made it myself, Brian. It's completely obtuse. It's completely off angle. It's kitty corner.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Basically like it's falling apart, hanging sideways.

[Brian Green]

And I just decided to put an extra piece of wood in the middle that that would make it more strong, that would fix all the problems. So my father in law came in and he just tore that thing apart. He was like, I. But I. The way we hung it, the way we did it, everything was wrong. It was all wrong. It was all wrong.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It was hanging down like so it.

[Brian Green]

Was right on our heads. You could see it in the camera angle. It's like barely in the camera angle. And I thought to myself, well, small price to pay for good sound.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

The fan was supposed.

[Brian Green]

Oh my God. So yeah, the fan was almost hitting it. And at times it would like, if you move the wrong way, it would be like. And I was like, well, that can't be good. I don't know how long that'll last if the fan keeps on hitting it. So my father in law comes and he also puts it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

C for effort. I was gonna say A for effort. C for effort on our part.

[Brian Green]

I would have passed high school if I put that much effort into it. So my father in law comes in and he says, well, where do you want it? And I said, well, I think it's got to be close to the fan. And he goes, okay, no problem. My father in law, I don't know, what do you guess? That's a quarter of an inch away from the fan? Yeah, it's a quarter of an inch away from the fan on both sides. Two different panels on each side of this fan that we. It's a key to this awfully hot box here. Fucking cool. And he put it a quarter of an inch away. It has never once touched the blade. Never not moved. Never once hanging from perfect. Hanging from an angled ceiling, perfectly straight. My father in law knows everything. I know nothing. I am humbled every time he comes that he can do anything. Like hang a picture. Like, oh, that's amazing. How did you do that? I went and got a nail. Oh, okay. He's like, I got a nail. I measured.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

But. So we went to the recital recycling place that day because we had to drop something off there.

[Brian Green]

So we go to the recycling place. So now this is our recycling place. You know, we have people, people that come pick up the recycling up front. But you only are allowed one can per week. And we get those damn Amazon boxes.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

That are terrible for the environment. I mean, I know there's only. I know I'm the one ordering it, and it's at my convenience. Like, I'm the one destroying the Earth. But Amazon isn't helping me in any way, shape, or form by putting a pair of earphones in a box the size of a small car.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh, my God, I hate that.

[Brian Green]

It's terrible.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah. They're doing a really bad job. Really bad with boxing.

[Brian Green]

And.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And I even check the thing a lot of times where it says, get fewer boxes. Have everything delivered in one day. I'm like, perfect. I don't think. I don't need that. All these things immediately. Individual boxes. So I checked that box. I checked the box, and they send me more boxes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. So I am like, everybody. I'm trying to do a little bit of good and I'm trying to teach my kids because my kids won't have an earth by the time they grow up. So I'm just like, hey, listen, let's make sure that we put everything in the recycling. We end up with all these Amazon boxes at the end of the week, and inevitably we have to take them to the recycling center because or else we'll have to pay some 25 fee to have more shit picked up. So I'm like, we're not lazy. Let's go a couple miles down the street, we'll go to the recycling center, and we'll put the extra recycling. The big recycling stuff. Big box.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

So every time I go there, it's a local recycling center. It's run by the taxes that we pay here. Yeah. Locals. Well, it's run by people, I think, who have been charged with community service. But regardless, okay, I've been there, done that. Got it. All right. 10, 4. I understand. If I could have done the recycling center, I would have done it. But no, I had to do hard labor. I had to be on the side of the highway while people are driving 98 miles per hour picking up trash.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Picking up trash.

[Brian Green]

So I go there all the time. Yet there is one who has to ruin my day every time that I go there. To the point now where I drive an extra five miles not to go to that recycling center, but the other recycling center. Because this guy finds it in his small, weak little mind that he has to make sure that we live in the county in which we are dropping off the recycling because it's a community center. It says on the back of my license plate, which county I live in. All he has to do is look at the license plate and say, oh, yep, this guy lives in this county. This is the county community recycling center. Let's do this. But every time I go, this guy comes up to me and he's like, I need to see your id. And I'm like, okay, one time, I didn't have it. I had this electronic, you know, ID thing. In Georgia, you can have an electronic driver's license. So I show them the driver's license, but it does not show your address on the driver's license. It does, however, say which county you got your driver's license in, right where you're living. So I show him, and I'm like, here you go. I don't have my driver's license with me. I'm using this. And he goes, I'm sorry, you can't drop off your recycling. I need to see your address. And I'm like, why would you need to see my address? And he's like, because I need to make sure you live in the county in which you're dropping off the recycling. And I'm like, listen, bro, I have it on my tag. I've got it on my license. I'm not giving you my physical address. That's. That's fine. I'm not going to dox me here at the recycling place. So, no, he's arguing with me. Me. He actually. He had. I took my recycling, I put it next to the place where the guys would come pick it up and throw it. He brings the recycling back and puts it back in my car.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Did you show him the label on the box?

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Oh, that was the next thing. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Look, it's. It's going to.

[Brian Green]

I am like, bro, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to drop this off. You've seen me 30 times. And he's like, I don't know how many people come to this recycling center. Why are you doing this to me? And I'm like, why are you doing this to me? What is going on? What are we doing? And I'm looking at all these 20 other people standing around, and I'm like, can anybody here help me could talk some common sense into this guy? And everyone's just standing around, you know, kicking their feet because obviously they're doing community service, and they don't want to get in trouble by the boss, who. I imagine this one guy gets paid for some reason. So I leave, and I'm so fumed this is like, right before Christmas.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Foreman.

[Brian Green]

He's the foreman. The foreman of the recycling center, which. Okay, that's a job. It's a thing. You're doing it good for you. Making a living. I can't argue with someone making an honest living. This refuses to let me drop off the recycling, okay? Right before Christmas, two weeks after Christmas. Now we have every box that has ever been made under the sun in our fucking living room. And I'm like, I gotta take this stuff to the recycling center. And I go, I'll try again. Maybe he was just in a bad mood, Right? Right. And maybe he's not there. They have to have more than one.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

He wasn't feeling bon homie.

[Brian Green]

He was not feeling bon homie. There's no bon homie about this guy. He was. He was bon bromy. He was. This guy was like. He was so pissed at me, and I couldn't imagine why. So I go. This time I decide a different tactic. Rather than park, I'd go through drive thru. They have Drive Thru. You just pop open your back and they take your stuff. I have never been asked for my driver's license. Except for that one time before. I pull up, I don't see the guy, and I'm like, oh, yeah, great, Pop my trunk. Guys are coming over. You know all these boxes going, yep. They're all going, thanks so much, guys. I really appreciate it. Happy holidays, Happy New Year, whatever. And then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Unbound Homie starts walking toward me and I'm like, oh, you gotta be kidding me, dude. And so he walks up and I crack my window a little bit, and he goes, I need to see your driver's license. And I go, dude, we had this conversation last time.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Why didn't you just take your driver's license this time?

[Brian Green]

I did take my driver's license this time. And I put it up to the window, right? Like one of those cop videos. Like one of those assholes who's trying to antagonize the cops for clicks on YouTube, right? I'm like, okay, here you go, bro. And he's like, please give it to me. And I'm like, no, I'm not giving you my driver's license. And he's like. He's like, I need to touch your driver's license, make sure it's real. And I'm like, dude, you work at a fucking recycling center. You are not the CI Goddamn A. What are you talking about? Why would you need to touch my driver's? License.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

He had it out for you.

[Brian Green]

He did. He absolutely had it out for me. And I was so miffed because I'm like, what did I ever do to this guy? What did I ever do to this bro? That now he's pissing me off. So I'm like, bro, you don't need to touch my driver's license. And he goes, you don't need to drop off your recycling, boys. Put it back. And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. No recycling for you.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's like he's got a gang squeal off.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I, no, I go, no, don't put it back. That's what I said. I tried to close the thing. Yeah. And he walked back and he grabbed it and he's like, come on, boys, put it back. He does not show you my driver's license. And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh my God.

[Brian Green]

So now I go, okay, bro, here you go. He takes it out. He's got these gloves on that have been touching horseshit all day long. Somebody else's crap. And he's like fiddling with it. And I'm like, okay, dude, give me it back. Now we're having this like three year old argument. Give it back to me. No, it's mine. I want my driver's license back. So finally he hands it back to me and he says, okay, he can drop off his recycling. And I'm like, did you just really say I can drop off my recycling? Do you really think that you're like some fiefdom here at the fucking recycling center and you're the king of the fiefdom. This is awful. This is terrible. I don't understand what in the world that we are doing. So the. So then, okay, so I leave now. Last week, and now I've been driving to the other recycling center, but last week I got the kids in the car.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

At least you can go make a drop off. Ours is you have to make an.

[Brian Green]

Appointment to make an appointment to get drop off your goddamn recycling.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

So they want you to not ruin the earth, but they want you to make sure that it's on their schedule?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Well, apparently it's just popular. I think what. I think what it is is a few bad apples ruined it. Then for all of the rest of.

[Brian Green]

Us, what exactly did they do?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

They were just driving in from out of state.

[Brian Green]

Driving in from out of state. Drop off there every single.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I think, you know, like, I think illegal dumping was what was happening.

[Brian Green]

Oh my God. Illegal dumping at the Recycling center. I mean, thieves that care. At least they care.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Exactly. So just take the boxes.

[Brian Green]

Criminals that care. You gotta be kidding me. Really? You have to make an appointment. What do you do, like scan your thing when you.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No. And in fact, that's why I a couple times have brought things up here to you.

[Brian Green]

I know. Well, now I got my own problems. Now I got my own problems.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I don't want to make an appointment.

[Brian Green]

Oh my God, dude, it's like terrible. So last week I got the kids in the car and I'm like, okay, this guy can't be possibly working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Let me go try this one. And you know what I did, Chrissy? This is most ridiculous. So there's a gas station across the street, sits up a little bit on a hill. You can check out the recycling area. You stay.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You did a steak out.

[Brian Green]

I did. One of my kids is like, daddy, what are we doing? And I'm like, sh.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You got your binoculars?

[Brian Green]

Give me some coffee, give me some coffee and two bear claws. Going to be here all night, son, if it takes all night. Mean, my one year old is just screaming, she can't take it anymore. She's in the car. I'm just sitting there in a gas station, freezing cold outside. I got my window rolled down a little bit. I'm like, huh? I don't think I see him. But do I see him? I don't know. I must have sat there for 10 minutes and I didn't see him. So I was like, okay, great. But now here's the point of the story. The coast is clear. I'm going to go. I pull up to the driver's to the drive through because I got the kids in the car. I pull up, I pop open my. My trunk. No one says a word to me except, how you doing? Have a nice day. Thank you very much. That was it. No one asked me for my driver's license. No one. And so this guy obviously has pointed me out.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

As I don't know. Yeah, we have a bon homie bromance going on. It's like an anti bon homie bromance. We hate each other and I don't really know why. Why does that happen in life? Why do you just meet people that you dislike right off the bat? It feels so, I don't know, incongruous, I guess. I don't know. I'm using another word, I don't understand what it means, but I've got to be honest with you. It Just doesn't feel good. Like, I don't know why this guy didn't like me from the beginning. What happened? What did I do? I just got out of my car to drop out. The reason I honestly, because I am so not into strangers. I just treat them all with kindness so I don't get bothered. You know what I'm saying? Of course, I don't care that much to get into arguments with strangers unless I see something going down that I clearly need to get involved in. I just don't do that. And even then, I'm likely to run away. Likely to tuck my tail and run away. So I have to say to this, my friend at the recycling center. Let's be friends now. Okay? I know you're not listening to the commercial break, but if you are, if you know anybody that works at the recycling center near where I may or may not live, if you know anybody and you know this brother, just tell him, you know, Brian just wants to drop off his recycling. I just want to drop off the recycling. That's all I want to do. Do we have to get. Do we have to be enemies? Mortal enemies? I'm literally staking you out. Checking out when you. What would I have done if he had been there? I don't know. I told you, I didn't even have a plan B. If I just felt like, well, he's not gonna get me today, fucker. You're not gonna bug me today, fucker?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It almost sounds like that $25 extra a month would be worth it just to not deal with this guy.

[Brian Green]

I totally agree with you. I told Astrid.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

But, you know, you got coffee expenses, bear claw expenses, binoculars, binoculars, gas, gas.

[Brian Green]

Not to mention the kids just going crazy in the back. And I am like a myopically focused murder detective. Like Jody Foster and true detective. Can't think about anything else.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That's a great show, by the way.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah, it's really. I am like the corpse. I call I. Well, you know what? We'll get into it. The next segment, let's take a short break and then we'll be back. Ugh.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Thank you, Magic Spoon, for being a sponsor of the commercial break and giving me something to look forward to late night after I get out of the studio. You know, we were talking about True Detective before the break. I am getting back into this show after taking a couple of years, taking a couple of seasons of going well.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It hasn't been on in a couple years, but.

[Brian Green]

Well, I know, but like the last two seasons, the first season was outrageously good.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

So I watched it all in one night on my very first iPhone, sitting in my apartment by myself, I was up to like 6 in the morning. I watched one some. I. I don't know who gave me their login to hbo. Or maybe it was free at the time, like a free trial that I tried. But I. I started at like 7:30 at night and I just bowled through it in one night. I loved it so much. It was so, like, you know, moody and cool and.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah, mystical.

[Brian Green]

Mystical. And could it be? Would it be. Is there ghosts? Are there dragons? What's going on? There's circles, lots of circles. I like circles. People hanging from trees. I like circles, you know, in weird ways, by their feet and their toenails. This is interesting. I like this. And then they followed it up with that damn Vince Vaughn dude. And I'd like Vince Vaughn.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Was that the second one?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that was the second one.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

The second season, there was another one. And then there was the Vince.

[Brian Green]

No, there was Marshall Ali.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Marshalla Ali did the. The most recent one, season three.

[Podcast Announcer]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

And that was good, but it wasn't great. I thought it was good, but it wasn't great. He was like revisiting the ghosts of the past and blah, blah, blah. Okay, I got that part. Vince Vaughn. I don't even know what in the world were they like in tunnels and street crime?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And I just think of Vince Vaughn is comedy.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You know, he's the wedding crash, not a mob boss.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah. Or the swinger. You know, swinging. Hey, baby.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

What's the saying?

[Brian Green]

Hey.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Something about babies.

[Brian Green]

I don't know.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Beautiful babies.

[Brian Green]

Beautiful babies. My beautiful babies. Like in a trailer. I thought that movie was okay. I thought Swingers was okay.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I love Swingers.

[Brian Green]

I never thought it was great, but I thought it was okay. It's a good start, right, for Vince Vaughn. And then he had a couple of.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Comedies and Jon Favreau.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah. And Jon became a very famous director and actor in his own right. And then you have Vince, who went on to do some of the comedy greats of the early 2000s. Old school wedding Crashers. Old School Wedding Crashers.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

He was in a few rom coms, which I one just happened to be on the other day, and think it was the one with him and. And Jennifer Aniston or he and Reese Witherspoon. I don't know. I think he did movies with. Oh, Couples Retreat was funny.

[Brian Green]

Couplers Retreat was really funny.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

But that was Jason Baitman, wasn't it? Anyways, we're.

[Brian Green]

Well, Vince Vaughn was in the movie, but yeah, Jason was also in the movie, too.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Back to the corpsicle.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, the corpsicle.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's good.

[Brian Green]

I want to say that the cor. I've got an idea about what's going on with the corpse, so spoiler alerts ahead. Turn off for the next period of time. Fast forward for the next five minutes if you do not want to hear about True Detectives most recent episodes. The Corpseicle found out on the ice.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Are we recording this? Because.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, okay.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It just made me think that maybe someone will never even hear this.

[Brian Green]

Nope, it's here. Here we are. We got it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Okay, Just checking.

[Brian Green]

Okay. I thought maybe you need to take a break or something. Like, are we recording this? Because I want to leave, so it's not a totally strange question to ask, by the way. Are we recording this? So there you go. Given how many we've.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No, not recording. I know.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And our. Our computers are acting a little funny the last couple days, so. So that corpsicle that's found out there. Another most recent episode. The dude who survived. If you. If you know, you know, the dude who survived. He wakes up in the hospital. He's got legs, no arms, no eyes, no whatever. He's just. He's a mangled mess. He's screaming bloody murder. And the detective, played by Jody Foster says, who did this? Who killed it? What were you running from? Why were you so scared? And he says, we woke her up. Woke her up and she's coming after all of us. We woke her up and she's going to kill all of us. Or whatever he said. Now, here's what I believe. If you remember, those scientists were doing like super high level research on bacteria, right? That could save or. Or kill everybody. Save everybody or kill everybody. And they had to drill down 53 million miles into the Earth's core to find this particular bacteria, Whatever. And they found it at some point, but they couldn't bring it back to life because of whatever. Right. There was some explanation that was given. My opinion is that they indeed woke up the bacteria and the bacteria had them going crazy. Like something happened to them. The bacteria infected them. Something happened.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

What about the circles? The tattoo circles?

[Brian Green]

I think that's just a mislead. I think it's just a misdirection.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And what about the dead guy that the one woman sees like her dead son that showed where those people were on the ice?

[Brian Green]

I think this is all part of the mystical, magical experience of true detective. But my true detective detective tells me that this is all misdirection. Yeah. That they're just. Yeah, it's bacteria. At the end of the day, it's a common cold that killed everybody, I think. I think. And then people are like, what about the tongue that they found? I think the tongue was being used in that experiment. I think they cut out the tongue. I think somehow it got over there because they needed the tongue for some reason and they warmed that bad boy up and then they put the bacteria on her tongue. I don't know. I think. I think maybe the tongue started to move after they put it back.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Great detective skills based on your stakeout.

[Brian Green]

Oh, never again will that guy find me in his drive through recycling drop off area. I've decided no more. You won't get me anymore. You're never gonna touch my license again, ever. Why do you need to touch my license? Why? For what reason?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

With the gloves.

[Brian Green]

With the gloves. With the nasty ass gloves on. You've been grabbing everybody else.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Was he holding it up to the light to see if, like, the seal.

[Brian Green]

It was, like, flexing it. I'm like, flex it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

What are you doing showing up with a fake id?

[Brian Green]

I know, like, he's a bouncer at the world's hottest nightclub. Like, making sure, you know, no underage spin. Get in. I'm like, come on, dude, I'm not on Roomspringer. I'm trying to drop off my recycling. Let's go, bro. Come on. It's supposed to be like a quick and dirty kind of thing. You know, we're dropping off, going, going, going, right? If I'm in that, if I'm ahead of that recycling, I'm just like, let's get them through as fast as we can. No bother, no must, no fuss. Let's get that recycling there because we're doing some good for the earth and so are they by dropping it off. So let's give them a break. If they don't have their driver's license with them or their license plate says something different than what it's supposed to, I would only question if it was, like, an out of state driver's, like, license plate.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I said out of state.

[Brian Green]

Y I find it hard to believe anybody's driving out of state.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Honey, I've gotta go to Georgia. Well, drop off.

[Brian Green]

Honey, I don't know if you know this, and I know that this is going to be very disappointing after 27 years of marriage and four children, but I have been leaving this trailer every Tuesday night and returning every other Monday night because I have been dropping off our recycling at the not local recycling center. Six states Away in Georgia. I don't know if you know, but they have the nicest recycling centers in the world. You can drive right through. Pop open your trunk. I'm also sleeping with your sister. I've also been taking your sister on these trips. She really enjoys them. Yeah, I don't know.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

True Detective. I don't know. It's very interesting. I love seeing Jodie Foster back. She's just one of the greats.

[Brian Green]

To me, she's a heavy hitter, man. She is one of the. One of the great actresses of our time, I have to admit. You know what? You know what movie I like from Jodie Foster is that Contact movie. You ever seen Contact? Contact is so good.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

One of my favorites. One of my favorites.

[Brian Green]

It gives you, like a hope that.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

There is some kind of crazy machine that's being built.

[Brian Green]

Built.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And it was coming through on radio waves, the messages on how to build the thing. And then that one exploded. But then they had the backup.

[Brian Green]

Yes. It gives me hope that Elon Musk is actually in outer space right now, floating around, shaving his head every day and going, I built two of them. Why build one when you can build two at twice the price? It's in the Japanese ocean with Godzilla. Godzilla helped us build it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh, it's so good.

[Brian Green]

It is so good. And then she goes through, she finds out some meaning of life, and then she comes out the other end and everyone's like, no, you didn't. You've totally ruined the thing. And it's just such a good movie, such a good premise. It's such a good movie. It's really well done. And then, of course, everyone. No one can forget Silence. Which is just a star making role for her. She is so good, the father Beans.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh, it's so good, that movie.

[Brian Green]

Do you hear the little lambs crying.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

With your fava beans like Yanti.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, Mr. Lecter. Mr. Lecter. Stick with the subject at hand. Father Beans.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's still such a scary movie.

[Brian Green]

I know. And that guy. Yeah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

He was making a skin suit.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And he's dancing with his dick tucked in. That's such a great scene. Such a great scene. So, Jody Foster, True Detective, new season. I highly suggest you watch it. It seems like they're back in form. Maybe not first season form, but certainly back to the moody, weird, twisty turny kind of thing that we all like. Have you ever watched the show Happy Valley on Amazon?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes, yes.

[Brian Green]

I am getting into this Happy Valley because I find this to be a very detective show. The detective show with the lady and her sister's a drunk and the whole nine yards. That is such a good show.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

So. Well it is. It's been listed as one of the. One of the great shows.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, one of the past few years. Oh really? Okay, I did not know that. I thought I was just watching yet another.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's on Amazon now. That's great because before it was on amc, it's on AMC and then it was on BBC by the subscription and I'm putting my foot down.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I'm putting my foot down because what is the first what subscription see have to offer? I went through my Amazon the other night and I found out that I had signed up for amc, Sundance Channel, Acorn tv, BBC. Did you know Amazon now? Did you get your message on Amazon yesterday? I got my message on Amazon and if anybody else got this message, you should write in and we'll bitch about it. Amazon put a message on my fucking Prime TV yesterday. You know what that Prime TV said? You are now watching ad supported Prime TV.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh yeah.

[Brian Green]

For an additional 2.99amonth you can go ad free. And I was like the. You're a trillion dollar company. Two, three trillion dollar company and you're going to charge me $2.99 to not have ads and all of my favorite television shows and movies? That is insane. I don't think the movies actually have them or they might have pre rolls or something like that. But I was so pissed. I'm like $2.99. Amazon, really? I spend all of my money with you. Every dime that I make goes to Amazon in some way, shape or form. You give me boxes that are too big and now you want me to pay 299 for a ad free experience. So I was like, I'm not doing it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No putting your foot down.

[Brian Green]

Then I got something I got in bed last night. I go to watch Happy Valley and up pops a commercial and I'm like, where's that button for 299 subscription?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Well, there's that whole freebie thing too, right? Because some of the things that I watch have the freebie, which is ad ads.

[Brian Green]

I know what I'm getting into with freebie. I understand that I'm getting ad supported TV with freebie, but I didn't know.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That when I got on Amazon.

[Brian Green]

I know, but. Well, I mean they also have their own app too. But I, you know, that's the other thing about Amazon is they suck in all these other channels and then they get you. It's like, oh, watch this wonderful British comedy television show. Fantastic. And then it's like, you know, free for a month and then you pay.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

7.99Amonth and then you forget about it.

[Brian Green]

I know, I always forget about it. So I had to cancel like three of these television.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I think it was curiosity stream that I had for like five years.

[Brian Green]

Oh my God.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I just kept getting charged. And by the time I would get charged, then it was too late.

[Brian Green]

And you forget about it the next time you got charged. Yeah, that's $7 and that's $12. I know, I don't know what I signed up for, but I signed up for one of those services, like, I have to guess, five years ago, one of those documentary, you know, Hooky Boogie, you know, the Healer. The Healer. You know what I'm saying?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Right.

[Brian Green]

Because they had a documentary about the Buddha that I wanted to watch.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

I signed up for it, never watched it. And then for years never watched it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

We watched it.

[Brian Green]

This was a different.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That was a different.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, okay. So for years they have been charging my credit card ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And every time I go and I try and cancel and I cannot for the life of me remember my password. And it's on an email that I canceled years ago. So now I'm stuck in this endless loop. So finally I tried to give him a call. Of course there's no number that, you know, this is, this number is no longer supported. And I'm like, fuck, these fuckers probably are in bankruptcy and they're still charging me 1099amonth so that I can watch some shitty documentary which I never watched. Fuck.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

See if you can get on there and watch it.

[Brian Green]

No, I can't because I can't remember my password and I can't reset it because I don't have access to the email. It's like I'm just stuck paying these people 1099amonth. It's ridiculous. And I think that's part of the, the part of the problem. He says, like in the podcast industry, there's a big conversation that's going on right now. Ad supported or subscription.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Right.

[Brian Green]

And some people, some of the bigger podcasts are saying subscription model is best because then we know that we're, you know, people are paying for the content. They're getting what they want without the commercials. We chose to do commercials because we didn't, aren't convinced no one would pay material. Although some people have written in and said they would support an ad free version of the show. That is really nice of you. But I haven't seen, like a thousand of those emails come through. I've seen, like, you know, 12. And I'm just pretty sure that my family is not going to live on $1.99 times 12.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I'm pretty sure that's only going to support your. The app that you can't get into.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's the only thing it's going to support is fucking Healer Stream or whatever it is. Healer Stream. So I am just like, this is. I think, like you said on one of the episodes. I think there's an Instagram reel about this. Like you said on one of the episodes. It is so bifurcated. And you have. Everybody has to pay for everything, and everybody's charging you for everything every month. You know, this subscription model is great for the people who are charging it because you will likely forget that you ever use the service in the first place. And they will just keep dinging you. They'll just keep dinging you until you realize that you didn't use this service.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I do have to set up a reminder. Every time I do sign up for one of those free trials, automatically go to my calendar and set a reminder.

[Brian Green]

Oh, that's a smart thing to do. I wish I had thought of using my calendar for anything. I've always, like, it works half the time. Yeah. You don't know how many meetings people call me, and I'm like, five minutes after the meeting started, they're like, text me, hey, you jumping on this? And I'll be like, yeah, but I don't have the link. The link's not working. Can you send it right now? This second? And then I jump on.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You're a big picture kind of guy.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I'm a big picture.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I learned this years ago when we worked together.

[Brian Green]

I'm big picture picture. You want ideas, I got ideas all day long.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You do.

[Brian Green]

You want work, Go to someone else for that.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Exactly. I remember being like, brian, you said you were gonna do that proposal.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I did. Oh, I probably will.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Sorry, I've gotta run to this other meeting.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my God, dude. I just hated it so much. I hated it everybody. I know I would. And I. I'm just one of these guys. I do what's in front of me. Whatever needs to be done today, I do whatever needs to be done tomorrow, I'll. Tomorrow is today.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Five minutes late.

[Brian Green]

Five minutes late. But, you know, that's just part of dealing with Brian is that sometimes I don't check email for days. Why? Because I don't want to Be bothered by it, really. I don't want anybody to demand anything of me. So I just say, hey, listen, I never saw that. I never saw that email. And it's, I'm being honest, I didn't see that email. Never saw it. Never once, never came through. Well, it came through, but I never once checked it. And then sometimes when I checked, must have gone up.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

John.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Wow. It went in junk. Meaning it's more than an hour old, it's junk. If it's more than an hour old, it's junk. I started this rule a long time ago with myself. I said, okay, Brian, you're getting nothing done because all you're doing is responding to email.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

I learned this when we worked at the radio company because everybody just sending emails all the time, I need this, I need that, I want this, I want that. Get your reports, get your projects, all this other stuff. And so what I said to myself, okay, Brian, check your emails twice a day in the morning and right before you leave. That way you can address whatever needs to be addressed. But it's not ruining your entire day, just putting out fire after fire after fire.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Except when you're late to meetings hour after hour.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, listen, I didn't, I didn't say, I didn't say I had to follow up on the email. I just said I would check the email. Huh. To be fair, I was usually the first one in for the projection meeting, figuring if I'm going to get my ass pounded, do it without anybody else here, I might as well do it, be the first one, right? Get it out of the way. So, you know, I just, I don't know, it's just a part of my personality to not use a lot of these time based reminders. That sounds so awful.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Personality to not pay attention to time.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I don't want that. Who wants to be bothered by the TikTok? TikTok. TikTok. It's always coming at you and you're like, I don't know what to do. I got a meeting in five minutes ago. I got a meeting in five minutes ago. And so I've got to stop doing what you're asking me to do right now so I can go to that meeting that started in five minutes ago.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That's true.

[Brian Green]

That meeting starts in five minutes ago. And I can't think of how many times that has happened to me. Hundreds.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh, I bet.

[Brian Green]

But this, I digress a little bit. Yeah, True Detective is a great show. You should watch it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes, it is.

[Brian Green]

And so is Happy Valley. You should watch it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Subscribe to Max.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you just got to pay. But remind yourself in some way, shape or form, I'm gonna make a sundial out front and then I'm gonna put little reminders. I like tie blue to the ground.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Every time you're going, you're going Mayan.

[Brian Green]

Yes, I'm gonna go Mayan calendar with dog barking when it's time to cancel. Oh, time to cancel. Max. Someone go feed that sundial so she shuts up. I'll just have Blue run in circles until it's time to cancel. Oh my God. All right, so you know, we gotta now speaking of ad supported content, we now got to put some ads in the show so we can support this content. So let's do that and you know, we'll be back, I think. Ugh.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Finally.

[Podcast Announcer]

I feel like I was waiting forever for my turn to talk. Now that I have you, go to tcbpodcast.com to find all of our audio and video content and follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast. Want it to be your turn to take talk? Call us and spill the tea at 626 ask TCB3 and you may hear your voice on the show. You can also text us your tea at 855-TCB8383 and boy, do we love to hear it. Anyway, take a listen to our sponsors and let's get back to the show.

[Brian Green]

All right, so I got an ass TCB I thought I'd throw out here.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's a. Oh good.

[Brian Green]

It's a very interesting one.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I like.

[Brian Green]

I've gotten a couple of questions. I like just breathe breeze by this a little bit. I got a couple question about what, what do we think about the upcoming election? And I don't think about the upcoming election because all it does is stress me the fuck out. Yeah, there's, there's not a lot of great options here. But I will say this. I think, you know, the world is so divided right now and I don't want to add to it by, you know, talking shit about this person, talking shit about that person. But I will say this. Vote yes.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That is all I got to say.

[Brian Green]

Show up and vote. Don't rest on your laurels. Don't think one thing is going to happen or another thing is going to happen. Listen, I think if you listen to the show long enough, you'll probably figure out who I'm going to reluctantly choose in the next election. But at the Same time. Like, the reason why we don't do political commentary is because so many people do it and so many people are much more knowledgeable. The pundits are much more knowledgeable than I am. You can turn on any given number of television stations 24 hours a day to hear that they're political leanings, probably with some actual information that has to do with facts. Yeah. And we are just not that show. No, it's not that we are afraid to talk about politics. It's that we don't want to talk about politics.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That's the, that's the break, the commercial.

[Brian Green]

Break, the break you get. You. We give that to you every day. And we don't want to start running backwards on that now. I'm also not afraid to share that I will not be voting for any furry related bill that comes out. I don't think we need to stop furries from pissing in public bathrooms in schools. I just don't think that's an issue that anybody needs to be concerned with. Okay, so there you go. There's your answer for the five or six people who have recently started to poke us a little bit about who we're voting for. Tell you what, I will tell you who I voted for the day after the election. How's that? I'll do. I'll be happy to do that. All right, so ask tcb. You ready for this one? Non politically related.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Hey, Brian and Chrissy, best to you and best to you, my friend. We're going to call her Angela. That's what she's requested. Angela. Angela says, and I don't want to read like this whole thing. It's very long. Thank you, Angela, for bringing in so much detail. But I kind of truncated this story a little bit to fit a segment of the show so we don't go on for two hours. It was a very well written, well thought out email. But here is the premise of it. The premise is that Angela has a sister. Okay? That sister came to the family by marriage, not by blood. Then it by. By her mother. Her mother got married to another man. Then the sister came in and then her mother divorced that man. And then another man came in and he brought his two sons. The son, though the son is the same age as her sister. Let's call her Diane.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

So Angela's sister with the sister, that's not the sister anymore.

[Brian Green]

Not technically a sister anymore, but they have. They consider themselves sisters.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Got it.

[Brian Green]

Like they're all a big happy family or we're all a big family. Until she got a second divorce, that third divorce. I guess this is at this point when she divorced the man who brought the two sons into the family. They were married for about 10 years. The. Her sister was 16 years old when her mother got married, and the two sons came into the family. So now there's four children all together. We got Angela, we got Diane, we got the two sons, Rob and Bob. Let's call him Robin. Bob, Rob and Angela. Rob and Diane are the same age. Ten years later, they get divorced, and now they're 26 years old. But they all still get together, and they all still sometimes show up at similar family events. They make sure they have Christmases together, they make sure they have Easters together.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And that was an amicable divorce.

[Brian Green]

It sounds like the siblings wanted to kind of hang out, keep that going. Yeah, they wanted. They realized what a kind of crazy situation it is.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah, that's a bond over.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it's like the Brady Bunch with a lot of divorces in between. A lot of divorce is making up the makeup of that. That family. But sounds like the siblings at least tried to stay together. Here we are four years later. So now Diane is 30 years old, as is Rob. So Rob And Diane are 30 years old together. Her sister came to her recently to explain that she was indeed attracted to Rob. She felt like Rob and her had. They were soulmates, quote, unquote. Soulmates. And now Diane, my stepsister, is asking for my approval, my tacit approval. In other words, do you think it's okay if Rob and I start a relationship? And Angela says she is very confused by the whole thing and she doesn't know what to think. She never liked Rob's dad in the first place. And she always felt that Rob was kind of a womanizer. He had many girlfriends in the 10 years that, that my mom and his dad were married. She felt that he sometimes was a little too slick for his own good. I get that. Kind of like he's a quick talking, fast talking type of dude.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

This is the son.

[Brian Green]

The son.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Okay. Okay. And. And she.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Just as a side note, she didn't like the dad either.

[Brian Green]

She didn't like the dad, she didn't like the. The kids. So sounds like her perspective may be a little bit colored here. But she goes on to explain that she is trying her objective about this and that at a base level, she does not see anything wrong with the two of them dating because they were never blood related and they were only, you know, brother and sister because of marriage, which didn't last and has now been over for four or five years. Brian and Chrissy, what do you kind of advice do you think I should give to my sister? And I would say I only have one piece of advice, and that is videotape it and put it on pornhub. Because I think it's going to make a lot of money because that's all anybody seems to be interested on that damn pornhub hubs brother and sister sex activity. Honestly, what is going on in this country? There's like entire sections. Not that I would know myself, but in my. In my circle of friends, I've heard that stepsister, stepbrother porn is extraordinarily popular on a lot of these websites. Who knew? I find it a little bit repugnant myself, but okay, whatever. So. But I'm also thinking of, like, the traditional, you know, we're young and then our mom and dad marry and they stay together forever, but we're having sex in their background. Whatever. I feel like we've heard something similar.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

To this kind of question.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I feel like maybe we did a show.

[Brian Green]

We did do a show on. On cousins. The cousin. Kissing cousin. We should check in on those cousin. Honestly. We should see what they're up to. I've always wondered what happened to those two cousin. They were all over TV for a minute and now they're gone. They were like petitioning the state of Utah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

They were.

[Brian Green]

If they could have sex together. Yeah, it's something like that.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah. They were gathering signatures in the park.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's what I say. Angela, tell Diane to go gather signatures in the park. Can I? My stepbrother. Yeah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Get out and.

[Brian Green]

Get out and vote. This is what I say. You got to get out there. If you want change, you got to make it yourself. No one's going to do it for you. You want that kind of activity to be legal, which I think it already is anyway, in most states. Then I say go for it. I don't give a. But honestly, like, you met when you were 16 years old. It's not like you met when you were two.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Right.

[Brian Green]

Which I think may not be all that different, but kind of different.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It is, I think growing up from a young age versus meeting someone when you're going. You're going through puberty.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Well, you're already sexually aware. It's not like, you know, it's this complete naive. We're three year olds and, you know, playing around, and then when we're 25, we all of a sudden want to have sex. With each other. Other. Right. I think that's a little bit different. A little bit. My perspective is, who gives this? Honestly, if they love each other, they love each other.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

If they're talking soul mates.

[Brian Green]

That's a big word.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That is a big word.

[Brian Green]

It's a big word. That they might be their true flame. What is that? Twin flame. They might be a twin flame.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

God, that's.

[Brian Green]

That is twisted. But they might be. You never know. They might be, like, true soul mates. And I do have to say I support love in most of its forms.

[Podcast Announcer]

Love.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Well, the heart wants what the heart wants.

[Brian Green]

The heart wants with. The heart wants. I don't know what to tell you. I want to have sex with my sister. I can't help it. God wants. What the hell wants?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I mean, I guess they haven't been siblings even for a while. And if that was, you know, in the 16 type range when they lived under the same roof, that could have only been for, you know, a couple years, I guess. If they went for a couple years.

[Brian Green]

And the one question that I. I think, was kind of answered, but not really answered, I read over it a couple times just to make sure that I didn't get, like. I didn't get the firm answer, but the answer was, did Diane stick around and live with them after her dad divorced? She made it sound as if they did. So I don't know. Like that. That situation in and of itself is kind of weird, and it deserves more exploring. I think that question is more confusing. Confusing than any question about them having sex. Yeah. At third, at 30 years old, you are adults. And there are adults doing a lot worse in this world.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

True.

[Brian Green]

Than having sex with a stepsister. I would tell you.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Former stepsister.

[Brian Green]

Former steps is not even a current stepsister. I think the Runway is clear on this. Yeah. I think you've given it enough time. Five years is a long time, you guys. The parents were together for 10 years during your formative years, and you have found some kind of relationship. Listen, the guy is a womanizer. The guy is a woman. That's a different story altogether. But I have to take at face value what's being said here in the sense that I don't know him to be a womanizer. You said he was a womanizer. That's your perspective.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And maybe he used to be a womanizer, but now he's come around.

[Brian Green]

Now he's settled down with his sister. So, I mean, what more could you ask for? I don't know. I'm kind of rooting for this Couple, actually. Listen, Diane, keep us posted. Yeah, keep us posted. I like the thought. I like the thought that you meet somebody, the relationship grows over time, and you find out that this is really the person you're supposed to be with. I like that kind of story. I think that's. That's a story that I can relate to, that I'm familiar with. It's like, you know, unlike Chrissy and I, who are like brother and sister, probably will never have sex. Actually, probably not ever have sex. But our twin flame has grown into this twisted pot of bullshit that we call the commercial break. Yes, we spend more time here than we do with our own spouses. The lights burn bright here at the commercial break, the studio. It is better to sparkle than to.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Fade away, as they say.

[Brian Green]

I don't even know what that means. I mean. I mean, it is better to. What, is it better to burn bright? Burn bright than sparkle and fade or something? Yeah, something Kurt Cobain said. I don't know. Poor Kurt. They released his autopsy report. Did you see that?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No.

[Brian Green]

Kurt Cobain, I read through it. It's. I don't. It doesn't say anything surprising. It's just there's a lot of detail into what happened with Kurt. And poor Kurt, you get. You think back on that time, what a. What a superstar. And what like a voice of a generation and a guy who, by all tense and purposes, wasn't hurting anybody. He was just like a good musician.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Who wrote a lot himself.

[Brian Green]

He hurt himself. And it's a terribly sad, Terribly, terribly sad thing. And when you think of music, back in that time period, were you into Nirvana?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You were?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh, yeah. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

All the Hips, Temple of The Doll.

[Brian Green]

Matchbox 20, Barenaked Ladies.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

It's been four weeks since you looked.

[Brian Green]

At me Ranch ran ranch Ranch hands, ram and I still say I'm sorry Chickadee, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick Chicken Get a.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Watch Smiles when the lights on.

[Brian Green]

Nope, different band. All those Bare Naked Ladies. So do you think of. When you think of the album that you want to play today, do you think of Nirvana's Nevermind? Would you put that in? Listen to that Stip to stern. Or would you rather listen to like 10 or verses from Pearl Jam or Sound Gardens? Bad Motor Woozy. Or I call it Bad Motor Woozy. It's Bad Motor Finger. But I like to call it Bad Motor Woozy for some reason. I always have. I don't know. Yeah. Alice in Chains, man in the Box and Chains.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

That was a good One, Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Peter Cetera's.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

We just listened to Chef. We have a big vinyl collection, and we just listened to Blood Sugar Sex Magic the other night.

[Brian Green]

Not a Chili Peppers.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

And it was good. It was really good.

[Brian Green]

Chili Peppers fans, you can't get into them. I don't know why. I just never have been able to get into them. It's not that I don't think they're talented musicians. Flea. Talented musician. Anthony Kiedis is doing that thing on the stage. And Will Ferrell's a great drummer, so that's all I gotta say. Yeah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No. Well, that whole genre definitely evokes emotion.

[Brian Green]

Feeling.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Feeling, yeah. I was there.

[Brian Green]

I did it because I was like. I was like, just coming into my teenage. You know, to my formative years and, like.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Right.

[Brian Green]

I identified with a lot of what was being said in the moodiness of the. The whole thing. The whole. Everybody's moody around that.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Absolutely.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. We're all upset.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Feelings.

[Brian Green]

I have feelings. And I want to emote, but no one lets me emote. I want to be a rock star, but I don't want the fame, man. I don't want to do it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Parents. Parents don't understand it.

[Brian Green]

They never have.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You don't want them to.

[Brian Green]

Why would we?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Your music, it's mine.

[Brian Green]

I'll be in the basement. Idea suicide and smoking lots of pot if anybody needs me in my sweater in my flannel I'll be back. It's August. It's 93 degrees, Brian. Yeah, that's what you would say, man. You don't understand. You never understood. No, no, no, no. We just went through Vietnam, but everything's cool, dude. Don't worry about it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Exactly.

[Brian Green]

Whatever. You lie on your own. You're the man in the box. But when I think of great albums, and I have to say this, I think of nevermind. But it wouldn't be my first choice of albums to put in today and listen to. And I don't know why that is. I just don't know, in my personal opinion, if that has aged as well as some of the other music of the time. And that is a controversial thing to say, but I'm going to say it right now. I just don't know. For my own dollar. I don't know if it's.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Well, that's the thing about art. It's all that is.

[Brian Green]

The thing about art is that Brian is constantly critiquing and knows nothing about it. I have Dick Tracy collection on my wall. I mean, what more could you ask of a guy?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Exactly. Says it all.

[Brian Green]

It does say it all. Hey, I. I wanted to ask you about Neuralink. No, talk to me about your feelings about Neuralink.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I think it's really scary.

[Brian Green]

I think it's super up, man. I know that Elon thinks that he's trying to save the world with this one, but I just wonder what in the world's going through his head. Well, neural link, obviously.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I don't see Elon with neural link in his head. I mean, that's kind of where I go with it now. I'm not beating up Elon. I think he's trying to move forward. A technology that was clearly coming anyway. Right. If somebody was going to do this at some point. And it seems like he is the first to get on board. Neuralink has a long and very controversial history with ape research. Some of these apes went ape and they literally ripped their skulls out trying to take this thing out of their head. What? The first human being. After approval by the fda, the first human being last week was implanted with a neural link by a special robot that was designed to do this type of surgery. The neuralink goes in the head and it.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

What part does it go into?

[Brian Green]

The frontalis lobalist. The maximus gluteus. I'm not sure. I don't know. But it goes into some. You have to do a craniotomy. Like, you got to take it out, put it in. At least that's the way it appears. You definitely have to have something in your head and you got to drill a hole in order.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Exactly. What happens?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

So they put it where and for what purpose? I was reading a little bit of it earlier about.

[Brian Green]

It's apparently where the. The verbal neurons get shot off so that you can. You think. Like if I'm thinking, not saying thinking.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Like if you're helping somebody with brain damage, say, after a horrible wreck.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Or something like that. Like, if it's being used for good, then. Okay. And there's already types of different things that you. That you can do with your. With people's bodies to enhance them after some kind of.

[Brian Green]

They have magic machines. Like, if you're totally paraplegic, you're.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

You can look at a list of words and stare at it for like a microsecond, and then it can talk. That word. Right. I think that's. I think that is how Stephen Hawking, if I'm not mistaken, communicate at certain points. But what this is supposed to do is it's supposed to. When you think it, it's in that it's in that cortex of your brain that has thought. Right. Like words come out of that part of the brain, but you don't have to say the words. You think them and then all of a sudden they're being said, I don't want that. No, I don't want that. But someone who cannot use their mouth may.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Correct. That's what I'm saying. What is it being used for right now?

[Brian Green]

It went in.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I don't know that I completely trust the Olympus after the whole Twitter X takeover.

[Brian Green]

So listen, I don't want anybody to be able to turn me on and turn me off. Right. And I don't want anybody be able to download what's in my head.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No.

[Brian Green]

Because then for sure, the commercial break is over. Work. It's over. No one's gonna want it. Yeah. It needs to stay private. My private thoughts are my private thoughts. It's like I tell my children, your privates are your privates, including your thoughts. And right now it's only being used. The only test subjects that have volunteered and have been approved to do this are people who have all loss of their limbs, so they cannot communicate via computer because they can't type. So in this sense, maybe if I'm in the game changer, if I'm in that situation, maybe I'm volunteering. Maybe I'm saying, okay, I don't want this necessarily. I don't want someone, you know, being.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

But to change your life. Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I mean, what if someone walks in? Like a hot girl walks in, right? This is what I'm thinking. Twenty years down the road, everybody's getting neural links like iPhones. I'm updating my neural link. I'm upgrading to neural link 7 or whatever, right? But it starts getting on the fritz and some hot girl walks in the coffee shop and, you know, you.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Or hot guy.

[Brian Green]

Or hot guy. But I'm saying hot girl for me, right?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

No, but you really, you. You've had your man crush.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I do have had my man crushes. And I do have man crushes. Oh, yeah. There's the guy at the Starbucks.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And then all of the sudden, right, you're like, he smells so good. Yeah. Oh, my God, I bet his dick is huge. Huh? Sorry, I meant to say, I bet your dick is huge. Like, what if someone walked in and you were just like, nice dicks. What? I'm afraid this thing would go amok. Like, I would just be totally. I'd be busted in every situation, You know? I mean, imagine the situation where I Was at the. The park the other day, and I was like, oh, my, what a. Oh, no.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

The kids place.

[Brian Green]

The kids place. Where the two ladies of the night walked into, you know, watch their children break their heads wide open. And still carrying two glasses of wine.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I mean, Stupid brat.

[Brian Green]

Yes, stupid brat. You're an asshole. Sir, please. Seriously, he's an asshole. Isn't there a place where assholes go, I'm gonna need one of these buttons? Yeah, yeah. Excuse. My neural link's on the fritz right now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's not me. That's Elon. He's reading Twitter to me.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

You're on an unsupported version.

[Brian Green]

I know. Your credit card has been declined. Nice ass.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You are not able to access the sensor function. Your credit card has been declined.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah, I mean, you know, the thing about it is, it's like the artificial intelligence and all of that. Once it's out there, it's out there. So I guess we need to learn that.

[Brian Green]

We're done. Yeah. It's all. It's game over.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I need to learn about it now.

[Brian Green]

There is nothing else we can do. The game is over. And we are all going to be having neural links in our head in the next 20 years because it's going to become a popular, cool thing to do. There's going to be some cool thing that you can do with it. That. That's the Trojan horse. And everyone's going to go, oh, I have to have that because I got to be able to read my. My. You know, I gotta be able to just wake up and have the news downloaded into my head or the whole season of True Detective is now in my head. Wouldn't that be freaky if, like, it gets to a point where they can implant memories into your head or like, television shows, you don't even have to watch them. You know what they're about. You've seen it because it's in your brain. Isn't that interesting? I mean, scary, but interesting. I can think of all the different possibilities.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

I like to discover things, though.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You're gonna discover that you got a robot in your head, that you got to pay 5.99amonth, dude, to download Twitter.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Terminator Life.

[Brian Green]

I know. I mean, honestly, this really does. This part really does scare the out of me.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Yeah. Because scary.

[Brian Green]

I saw. I mean, I don't want to, like, get all macabre here, but I did see the. An investigation that I think one of the big, you know, news agencies did. I can't remember which one. So I don't want to misspeak, but. And they did it about the chimps that have, for the last two or three or four years, however long it's been, have been getting these neural link implants as a part of the process to get approved by the fda. And it's terrible, horrible, horrible stuff. And it's like, you wouldn't wish that upon your worst enemy. And the way that these chimps were acting after they got the. The neural link and the things that they were doing to try and get it out of their heads, like killing themselves. That's how. That's how bad it was. And so I wonder if they have taken care of those problems. I wonder if that. Well, hopefully, yeah. Seriously? Yeah. You just watch a bunch of people on the side of a building banging their heads trying to get their neural link out. It would be really scary. So I'll end on that happy note.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Oh, yes. Happy Valley.

[Brian Green]

Happy Valley. Watch it on Amazon 2.99 ad free. I mean, an additional 2.99, right? Ad free. Yeah. Well, it's been an interesting afternoon here at the commercial break, but, you know, it always is. Yeah. More fun to come next week. We got lots of guests lined up, actually. And so while we haven't had any in this couple first shows of the season or a couple weeks of the season, don't you worry your pretty little heart out. We've got some great people coming up.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

We do.

[Brian Green]

And then some people you may not like, but, you know, hey, listen, I can't. Can't make a winner every time, can you?

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Can't be everything to everybody.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I want to say thanks so much.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Star burn out.

[Brian Green]

Sparkle and fade or fade and sparkle or what? Yeah, whatever. Kurt said go vote. I choose voting. That's what I choose. I choose voting. Show up at those polls, kids. It does make a difference and it certainly will this time, no matter who you choose to vote for. This one's a big one. I feel like the last four elections have been like, on life or death. It's like existential crisis. And here we go again. Yeah, one more. Can we just have like a normal election where no one really gives a. Ah, that guy's okay. And that dude's cool too. Like, whatever.

[Chrissy DeJoy]

Exactly.
