Episode Overview

In this episode of The Commercial Break, Bryan and Krissy dive headfirst into their signature blend of chaotic, witty improv and pop culture commentary. The central theme: reality romance TV, focusing especially on "Love is Blind," its current state, and spin-off oddities. The hosts riff on their recent TV binges, drop sharp commentary on the evolution (and devolution) of popular dating shows, and critique the wild world of TLC’s polyamory spectacles. All of this comes wrapped in the familiar, frenetic banter and irreverent humor that define the show’s identity.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Show Updates and New Directions

Timestamps: 06:32–08:29

• Bryan teases big changes coming to The Commercial Break: new themes, possibly more structure, and even some paid/gated content.
• The duo promises plenty of free content remains, encouraging listeners to follow on social media for updates.
• “Anything would be more methodical than the way we do the show right now.” (Bryan, 07:17)

2. TV Show Roundup: What’s Hot & What’s Not

Timestamps: 09:08–22:10

The Diplomat (Netflix)

• Bryan and Krissy rave about "The Diplomat" and the spectacular performances by Keri Russell and Allison Janney.
• They draw comparisons with "The West Wing," ultimately agreeing "The Diplomat" is more dramatic and less grounded.
• “Keri Russell deserves an Emmy for this.” (Bryan, 11:17)
• They praise the balance between realism and over-the-top plot lines, the international flavor, and the compelling cast.

The Chair Company (HBO)

• Both hosts highlight the surreal, dark comedy "The Chair Company" starring Tim Robinson.
• Show structure and tone are compared to "Barry" and "The Office," but with Robinson’s distinctive, paranoid comedic spin.
• Noteworthy for its hilariously outrageous premise: a man’s life spirals into chaos after a chair breaks under him.
• “He looks fucking—he looks at the chair company and...he gets obsessed.” (Bryan, 16:48)
• The show is applauded for keeping things just grounded enough for the comedy to hit.

Detroiters (Netflix)

• Quick recommendation for "Detroiters," another Tim Robinson vehicle. Bryan claims every episode is “fucking hilarious.”
• Sam Richardson gets a shoutout as a fantastic comedic partner.

Slow Horses / Slough House (Apple TV+)

• The hosts love the series, led by Gary Oldman, but note the premise can feel stretched (“it’s getting a little ridiculous that Slough House seems to save the day every time” – Bryan, 20:41).
• The show’s charm is credited to Oldman’s grumpy, lived-in performance, even as newer seasons try to reign in his vices for realism.

3. The "Love is Blind" Deep Dive & Reality Dating TV Fatigue

Timestamps: 23:23–29:42

Love is Blind – Waning Enthusiasm

• Krissy asks if Bryan has watched the latest season; both express disappointment in recent seasons.
• The experiment, in their view, has become unmoored by fame-seeking contestants. No one got married this season—a series first.
• “It’s gotten to the... point where it’s one of those reality shows... they’re eventually like parodies of themselves.” (Bryan, 23:49)
• The hosts lament that the show’s incentives skew away from genuine romance and toward TV exposure.
• They recall a standout from season three—one genuine love story—emphasizing their belief that the format is now broken.

Unfiltered Reality TV Wisdom

• Bryan and Krissy propose ways to “fix” reality dating shows, joking about making it a real game show (“You can only go on that vacation and get married if you both pick the right number with the right voice and you fall in love—that’s it.” (Bryan, 27:42)).

Comparison to Other Shows

• Attempts to watch "Love is Blind" UK and other global versions didn’t land.
• They argue "Married at First Sight" gives couples a marginally better chance, thanks to expert matchmakers, but that show has also become stale or hard to access.
• They both recommend "Married at First Sight Australia" for maximum drama and self-aware spectacle.

4. TLC’s Polyamory Circus: ‘Seeking Sister Wife’ Breakdown

Timestamps: 29:42–69:22

Initial Impressions & Scene Setting

• Bryan introduces Krissy (and listeners) to the wild world of "Seeking Sister Wife," setting up the show’s appeal: a revolving door of “idiots” seeking plural marriages for reasons ranging from religious to logistical to...just plain desperate.

The Williamsons: A New Breed of Polyamorists

• The hosts focus on Reed & Billie Jean, a rural Indiana couple raising infant twins and a host of animals indoors (“Bird flu, dude. Sweetie, come on.” – Bryan, 36:46).
• Reed, effeminate and expressive, repeatedly raises suspicions about his sexuality—played for both comedy and (genuinely) gentle critique.
• “I don’t want to like, throw the baby out with the bathwater and say everyone who has a lisp or does jazz hands is gay...But he was in the chorus?! She was undressing him. There’s no sex.” (Bryan, 45:28)
• Billie Jean is the driving force for polyamory (“The idea for our polygamy family came from me.” – Billie Jean, 40:37).

Relationship Dynamics & Family Reactions

• Scenes include egg-laying chickens in the kitchen, jazz-hand introductions, and the couple’s search for a “sister wife” via dating apps.
• “The only thing is that we have to do IVF and so why don’t we have someone else come in who wants more kids and so we can have an even bigger family...” (Billie Jean, 41:11)
• Reed’s “lack of game” and awkward attempts at flirting become a focal point (“He has a challenge ahead of him...Keep the jazz hands to yourself.” – Bryan, 55:42).

Coming Out to Their Family

• Reed and Billie Jean break the news to their (conservative, sometimes religious) family, which provokes confusion and concern about the kids’ well-being and social stability.
• Christina (relative) voices the most pointed opposition: “I think it’s selfish because you’re fulfilling your needs...But what about the kids? Are they going to be made fun of?...It can cause confusion in the house.” (Christina, 64:27)
• The hosts weigh in thoughtfully, musing on whether polyamory works for families, with Bryan summing up: “I think polyamory is an indication something is wrong with the original relationship...I just don’t see how the mechanics work out in the long run.” (Bryan, 57:24)
• They highlight the emotional risk for children, citing the chaos of high-profile TLC poly families (e.g., Cody from "Sister Wives"): “The real losers are the children. They are suffering in some way...” (Bryan, 66:06)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On TV Show Fatigue:
  “It’s one of those reality shows...they’re eventually like parodies of themselves.” (Bryan, 23:49)

• On Love as a Game Show:
  “You can only go on that vacation and get married if you both pick the right number with the right voice and you fall in love—that’s it.” (Bryan, 27:42)

• Polyamory & Parental Caution:
  “You have to make sure it’s not just for now, it’s forever. Because those kids are going to need that parent forever.” (Bryan, 67:16)

• TV Binge Wisdom:
  “Smoking looks so cool, but it smells bad. It stains your fingers. It makes life miserable. And eventually you start wheezing. And when you start wheezing, you should let it out.” (Bryan, 23:06)

• On Seeking Sister Wife Participants:
  “This guy, he’s no Casanova, that’s for sure. Unlike a lot of these guys...this guy, not that guy.” (Bryan, 45:00)

Memorable Moment

[54:05]
Reed, attempting to flirt with a waitress to prove his “game” for finding a sister wife (awkwardly):

“If I was gay, I would. Yeah, I would tell everyone. I’d shout it from the rooftops. Like, no problem there. But I like the boobies too much.”

Krissy and Bryan lose it at Reed’s “proof” of his straightness, reflecting on how humor and honesty make the show both irresistible and ridiculous.

---

Tone and Language

The hosts' candor, relentless riffing, and ability to bounce between sarcastic observation and genuine empathy keep the tone light but insightful. They are playful, self-deprecating (“We might throw that in the trash as soon as we start” – Bryan, 07:49), and openly judgmental in the way only good friends and pop culture vultures can be.

---

Recap & Takeaways

• Reality romance TV has lost its innocence: The experiment has become the joke, and fame-seekers have overrun the dating trenches.
• Polyamory on TV = drama gold but cautionary tales: Bryan and Krissy have more skepticism than hope for these unconventional families, especially when kids are involved.
• Strong takes, soft hearts: Sarcasm aside, the duo underlines the importance of stable, loving homes for children, regardless of the format.
• Watch recommendations: "The Diplomat," "The Chair Company," “Slow Horses," and the comedic heights of "Detroiters"—but maybe skip the latest "Love is Blind."

---

For fans of unfiltered banter on reality TV, relationships, and the quirkiest corners of modern entertainment, this episode is classic Commercial Break: hilarious, incisive, and just a bit out of sync with the mainstream, in the best possible way.

[Dr. D]

Hello, and welcome to WSHIT's special ongoing program with me, Dr. D. I am noted podiatrist and phlebotomist, and this is my show. What happened to your foot? However, tonight we are going to take a little bit of a detour away from your beautiful feet to spend an hour discussing a very hot topic indeed. Masks. Should we wear them? Should we not wear them? Do they make us safer or less safe? Did our forefathers write in the constitution that we had the protection against surgical mask tyranny? And what is that smell when I put on the mask? So many bad breaths out there. I'm going to try and navigate through that, if you will. So many more important questions we were answered. But first, let me introduce my guests. We have two opposing viewpoints from people on the street. Our goal tonight is to have very calm, rational conversation around masks and the practice of wearing them or not wearing them, if you choose. Our first guest is Karen Moskowitz, an essential oil salesperson and an Internet activist. Karen believes that we are suffering from mass mind control by being asked and then forced to wear masks. Karen, what say you? What's wrong with your foot? And what do you think about the mask?

[Karen Moskowitz]

What I want to say is we the people, will work day and night to clean every single seat. If need be, we will get together and do a citizen's arrest on every single human being. That goes against the freedom of choice, okay? You cannot mandate. You literally cannot mandate somebody to wear a mask knowing that that mask is killing people. It literally is killing people. And the people, we. People are waking up. And we know what citizens arrest is because citizens arrests are already happening, okay? And every single one of you that are obeying the devil's laws are going to be arrested. And you, doctor, are going to be arrested for crimes against humanity. Every single one of you have a smirk behind that little mask, but every single one of you are going to get punished by God. Okay? Six feet, like I said before, is military protocol. You're trying to get the people to train them. So when the cameras, the 5G comes out, what?

[Chris Hoadley]

They're gonna.

[Karen Moskowitz]

They're gonna scan everybody. We gotta get scanned. We gotta get temperature. The kids have to go to school with masks. Are you insane? Are you crazy? I think all of you should be in a psych ward right the heck now. Because none of you, none of you know what the hell you are all talking about.

[Dr. D]

Karen, this is a very well thought out position and I appreciate your point of view. Let's take quick commercial break and we allow everyone to take their medicine. We'll be right back after these words on this episode of the commercial break.

[Brian Green]

Or I say you put the pictures of everybody up on the wall.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And you don't tell them whose voice goes with what picture.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's good.

[Brian Green]

You put a number on there and you get. And you can if you, if you choose to guess. You choose to guess. Yeah. If you put numbers.

[Chris Hoadley]

Got an idea?

[Brian Green]

Yes. You have an idea. This is one of these people, right? One of these 10 people is talking to me right now and I'm really attracted to her. And only. You can only go on that vacation and get married if you're both. Pick the right number with the right voice and you guys fall in love. That's it.

[Von Miller]

The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[Brian Green]

5:30. Oh yeah. Cows 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, Chrissy.

[Chris Hoadley]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. In case you didn't get us last time, I will quickly and briefly review what we we discussed about the commercial break. After 850 odd episodes of the commercial break, big changes are coming to TCB starting next week or the week after that. You'll have to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break to tune into all of the finer details. Chrissy and I will start broadcasting all of the recordings that we do here except for the interviews. We will still be doing those in private in secret. I don't know how the celebrities would react to actually having 10 people watching them on Twitch, on YouTube, maybe on Instagram and Tik Tok. You can follow us at the commercial break and we will let you know. And also I guess from like the way in which we do the show will be a little bit more methodical than it is right now. We will be break anything. Anything would be more methodical than the way we do the show right now.

[Chris Hoadley]

We might have different days that are.

[Brian Green]

Different themes will be thematically the show is going to change. So just hang on tight. Instead of doing 10 random thoughts in an episode or sometimes 20, we might just be doing one or maybe two. I don't know how we're going to do it. Well, we might. We might throw that in the trash as soon as we start. But we're going to do our best, so stay tuned.

[Chris Hoadley]

Little Hambone and Odley thrown in.

[Brian Green]

That's right Hand bone and true crime. Maybe some bad reviews. We'll talk about reviews.

[Chris Hoadley]

Dating.

[Brian Green]

Dating. We're gonna get into theming out the show and then at some point we may gate some of the days that we do. And what I mean by gate is make it paid content. That's just to help support what we do here at the show. And if you can afford it, great. And if you can't, we'll work it out. Don't worry.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, they'll still be free stuff.

[Brian Green]

There'll still be free stuff. Lots of free stuff. We're not going anywhere free wise. You can still have the show with ads and all that good stuff. Okay. All right. But starting today, let's see if we can make our way through talking about one topic and one topic only. And that is the television shows that we are currently watching. And if my hands look like I've dipped them in red ink, you got dye. I got dye all over my hands. Food coloring actually is what it is. So anyway, I'm not going to go down that road. We're talking about television shows. I just wanted to warn anybody that's watching on YouTube that, you know, my hands aren't bloody, they're just full of red ink. I have been watching the Diplomat.

[Chris Hoadley]

We were just. Yes, talking about that. I blew through it, Jeff and I blew through it and I'm ripping through it the third season. So good God, it's such a great show. I mean, I can't say enough good things about it.

[Brian Green]

It is. There are episodes that I think move along quicker than others. I think some feel a little bit Philly to me, like they're filling some a little bit of time. But I will say, with only six, seven or eight episodes per season. You know, I was thinking about this last night in the shower as I was watching one of the episodes. I was thinking, used to be like, when I watched the west wing, there are 22 episodes per season. That's what a season was. And that's 22 hours of a particular season. And man, are there so many great episodes in a 22 season, especially the first four of the West Wing. But there certainly are filler episodes too. I just wish there wasn't the filler episodes with a season that's only six episodes. But the Diplomat is fantastic. It. Keri Russell is amazing.

[Chris Hoadley]

And I love her husband, too.

[Reed]

I don't know.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

He is so good.

[Chris Hoadley]

Allison Janney.

[Brian Green]

Allison Janney's in it now. Allison Janney is from the west wing. She played C.J. craig on the West Wing. The Press. The press secretary.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Let me ask you this, because I don't see it. Bradley Whitford, who was also a main star, if not the main star in the West Wing, made one appearance for three minutes on one episode in season five, like the last episode of season five.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

But I haven't seen him back.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, you'll see him.

[Brian Green]

He comes back.

[Dr. D]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Bradley Whitford comes back. Okay, good. I was like, is that just a nod to what a lot of people are comparing the Diplomat to the West Wing?

[Chris Hoadley]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

I don't think they're anything alike, if I'm being honest. But now Allison Janney is the president at this point. You'll. You'll go through. I hope I didn't blow anything for you. Sorry. But.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, you learn that at the. If you watch the last season.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, you watch the. If you watch season two, then you know that Allison Janney became president by default. But she is so good in this role. So good in this role. All. Everybody is so good in their respective roles in this television show. I don't think it's anything like the West Wing.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, No, I don't. I don't see that either. I mean, there's some similarities.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

And of course, now we've got some of the actors from that show.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Now we've got some crossover with actors, but I think this is way more dramatic and, like, unrealistic scenarios. I'm not saying they couldn't happen. I'm saying they likely wouldn't happen. Like, the West Wing seemed very rooted in some kind of reality, except for a couple of different episodes where things just. They ratcheted up the drama by making things extra dramatic. But I think this is a fun show to watch in the sense that it's not always grounded in super reality. I love it. I think Kerry Russell deserves an Emmy for this.

[Chris Hoadley]

Me, too.

[Brian Green]

This role.

[Chris Hoadley]

She does a great job. She and Allison Janney were on Andy Cohen show. Watch what Happens live.

[Brian Green]

Oh, they were.

[Dr. D]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

You've got to. I'll send you the episode.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Please.

[Chris Hoadley]

They were great on there together.

[Brian Green]

Please send that to me. And I love Carrie. Kerri Russell is so beautiful. In my opinion, she is just a gorgeous woman, but she is one of the best actresses of our time. I'm sure of it. As is Alison Janney. And she's already. Yeah, she's won a bunch of stuff. Emmys and she won an Oscars. I don't know. She was in something. She's won a lot that she was nominated for an Oscar. If you're not watching the Diplomat, you're really missing out on a lot of good politically, like, government drama kind of thing. If that's your thing. Action spies, you know, malfeasance, crazy kooky characters, high end government offices. Then this is the show for you, is also an international show. So they're moving all over the world and doing this and doing that, which.

[Chris Hoadley]

Is fun to see. And that's on Netflix.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, The West Wing was stuck in the West Wing for the most part. On every episode, at least they called the East Wing. Yeah, that's true. The East Wing no longer there. I was. I'm watching the West Wing also again for like the 55th time.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, you've definitely watched it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Oh, I've watched it so many. I mean, I can. Some of these episodes I've memorized at this point, but every time I seem to pick out something new when I'm watching it. And I love it in that sense. And the theme song. It's almost worth watching an episode of the West Wing just for the theme song. It makes you long for the days when government was who we thought might be working on behalf of the people. But I was trying to think if they did any shots from the East Wing. And they did, on occasion, do some stuff from the East Wing, mainly when it came to Mrs. Bartlett or, you know, the president's wife, the first lady. So it's a great show. The Diplomat. I'm all about it.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Tune in. Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

All right. Let's talk a little bit about something that you turned me onto. And that's. What is it? The Chair. The Chair Company.

[Brian Green]

The Chair Company. Wow.

[Chris Hoadley]

I've seen two episodes and a half. Okay, so.

[Brian Green]

And there's four out now, so. Yeah, yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

And this is on hbo.

[Brian Green]

Oh, wait, just wait. Just wait. It is wild. It is.

[Chris Hoadley]

It's bizarre. It's funny. It's Tim Robinson. Right? That's his name.

[Brian Green]

His name. And he is.

[Chris Hoadley]

He plays just such a great character.

[Brian Green]

I don't know how to describe. He is a paranoid, weird, kooky, nuanced or unnuanced.

[Chris Hoadley]

What's the premise again?

[Brian Green]

The premise is this. It's pretty simple, actually. Tim Robinson plays a husband and a worker At a company that builds malls. Builds and refurbishes malls. And now they're building a new mall in town. And he has been assigned like the head of that project. Right. So he's got a big job. He's got a big promotion. He's got a big job. The very first episode, we kind of see him go through this promotion. He's giving his first big speech. We already can see from the first, like from the first scene, he's a kooky character. He's Tim Robinson. All of the hijinks that come with Tim are still there, but it's a much more serious. The way it's shot. Kind of dimly lit and with the overtones of the musicality of the show. It feels like a drama. But it's Tim being Tim, so there's. It's hilarious. At the same time, the only thing that I could liken it to would maybe be Barry, like the show Barry.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, I could kind of see that.

[Brian Green]

Right. The characters weren't as. They were crazy in Barry, but it wasn't as wild of a show. Yeah, it wasn't as kooky of a show.

[Chris Hoadley]

So that was like the office kind of. Yeah, there's a little office sprinkling of the office.

[Brian Green]

Hard to describe really. It is, yeah, it's. There are other things that are like it, but this is Tim.

[Chris Hoadley]

So the thing is, is that he falls. He goes a little speech up in front of the whole company.

[Brian Green]

The president of the company's there, the CEO. He introduces Tim. Tim gives like a two minute speech about the new mall and heading up the project and how he's grateful. He's very nervous about this speech. And then he goes and he goes to sit down in a chair and the chair breaks when he sits. Embarrassing moment for him for sure. And everyone laughs at him and. Or he thinks everybody's laughing and people are helping him up and you know, okay, an incidental situation that happened that most of us would go, that was embarrassing, but it's not the end of the world. And it wasn't my fault. It was the chair's fault. Right. I mean, the chair broke. Well, Tim gets super paranoid about this chair breaking. He thinks that he's been targeted, that this is a conspiracy, that people in the office maybe did it. And then it just gets. He looks fucking.

[Chris Hoadley]

He looks at the chair company and.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he gets obsessed.

[Chris Hoadley]

He does.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he gets obsessed. But then he might be right because there's someone's following him around telling him to stop calling the chair company stop Looking up the chair company, blah, blah, blah. So he all. Now he's got reason to be paranoid. And, man, does it go baloony toony for him.

[Chris Hoadley]

There's a little person involved in the closet. I don't know.

[Brian Green]

There's like a private eye. Yeah. There's like a gangster. There's a guy's hiding in the closet. There's now. I mean, I don't even want to give it away because I wanted to.

[Chris Hoadley]

See where it goes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it goes to a really crazy place. This last episode that came out, I mean, you like in the. The show does this good balance of making Tim look just as crazy as he's acting and wondering whether there's actually something there. Like, is. Did the chair company do something?

[Chris Hoadley]

Who is the chair company?

[Brian Green]

Who is the chair company?

[Chris Hoadley]

Try. He goes to this warehouse, and it's empty.

[Brian Green]

Where's the chair company? Yeah, they're supposed to be here, but they're not tech. A chair company. It's great. Every bit of it is great. Detroiters is another show that Tim did with. Okay, I can't remember the name. He was an average. They were advertising executives, like local advertising executives doing creative.

[Chris Hoadley]

I want to go back and watch that.

[Brian Green]

You got to watch Detroiters, because Detroiters quickly rose up the top of my list once I started watching it. Every episode is fucking hilarious. It is wild. It is outrageous. The. I need to name this actor because he's really good.

[Chris Hoadley]

Where can we watch Detroiters?

[Brian Green]

I think on hbo. I think on hbo. Max. Or is it Netflix? It's Netflix. I'm sorry. Watch it on Netflix. The cast is Sam Richardson.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Sam Richardson, I think was on SNL for a couple of seasons, I believe. Was he on snl? Or maybe not. Maybe he wasn't. He was on Veep. He's been. He's been in Ted Lasso. He was in After Party, which is a show that a lot of. Like an indie show that a lot of people.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Loved. So these two get up to a bunch of craziness in Detroiters and this show. There's like four seasons, three seasons. It's great. Every episode is great. I wish it had continued. They tried to. They tried to get someone else to bite off on. It was on Comedy Central, but. But Tim. Rod. This is like the evolution of Tim Robinson's, like, kind of dark, weird, crazy, paranoid comedy. And I just love everything about it. And I've. I'm so glad that they're doing this show, and I hope it gets the accolades that it deserves, because if you like kind of that weird, like just crazy comedy. If you like crazy comedy, you'll be up for this. But there's a through line there. The, the best kind of crazy comedy is where there's enough touching the ground that it seems like a little bit realistic. And they do a great job of this. I don't know who the directors and writers are. I'm sure Tim, Yeah, they're doing a great job of moving in and out of this weird world that Tim's creating around a fucking chair breaking. I mean, it's insane. And that's when Tim is best, is taking one simple idiotic life thing, incident, situation item, and just going ham on it. And he is going ham, apparently for seven episodes on a chair. So it's great. You're going to love it. I highly recommend you tune it in. So we love the Diplomat, we love the chair company be tuning in. I also have to say that I just finished the latest season of Slow Horses, Slough House.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay. Yeah. Jeff and I were waiting. We were waiting until it was all done.

[Brian Green]

It's all done.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay, it's all done.

[Brian Green]

You can watch it. Okay, you can watch it. And they actually have a preview at the end of the season. Have a preview for the next season.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay, good. They did.

[Brian Green]

So that's already in the can, right?

[Chris Hoadley]

I love that show. It.

[Brian Green]

I just am all about Slough House. I love Slough House. Listen, it's getting a little ridiculous that Slough House seems to save the day every time. Like the worst.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

The whole, the whole premise of Slough House is that when you are in the British Secret Service, MI5, and you fuck up, but they don't want to quite get rid of you, you go to Slough House where the Slow Horses are, and it's this rundown, beat up shack in the middle of London.

[Chris Hoadley]

And Gary Oldman.

[Brian Green]

Gary Oldman is heading this whole.

[Chris Hoadley]

He's perfect.

[Brian Green]

He's perfect. He's a dirty, disgusting, cigarette smoking, drinking, smelly farty guy who just hates everybody and hates the world. But he seems, yes, he seems to save the day every time. Yes. So what he's got is essentially a bunch of outcasts that are really the best agents in MI5 living a futile existence in this, this terrible place. But it's like a. It's like purgatory for MI5 agents. But apparently they're all the best in the world because they always seem to save the day. They're in the middle of it every time. So it's getting a little ridiculous in that sense. But if you can suspend belief, if you can suspend disbelief for just a moment.

[Dr. D]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Then I think that Slow Horses, Slough House is one of the best television shows that Apple is betting on. They can. They were on season four, and now, see, we know season five is coming. I love it. Keep it coming all day long. As long as Gary Oldman's willing to be old and cranky, let it come.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, he carries it. I mean. Yeah. You've got to have him.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I wonder where Gary Oldman and him, his character, start and stop.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

He just seems like a job where he can walk in, act miserable, smoke cigarettes, and pretend to drink booze. It's amazing. And the one thing I will note is in this season, like, he's got kind of a handler, a secretary that looks over him.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, right.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah. And she is. She's not letting him smoke this season. So he does get a couple of cigarettes in here or there. But she's like. Right from the first episode, she's like, you got to put that out. The doctor said not to smoke, but I'm like, I want my Gary Oldman smoking all the time. I don't give a shit. I like smoking and television and movies. I liked. You know. Listen, anybody that tells you that smoking ain't fun is lying to you. Smoking is fun, but it will kill you. That's the problem. It will kill you. You shouldn't smoke. No one should.

[Chris Hoadley]

It does look good in film.

[Brian Green]

It looks good. Great on. It's so cool. It looks so cool. Smoking looks so cool, but it smells bad. It stains your fingers. It makes life miserable. And eventually you start wheezing. And when you start wheezing, you should let it out. And of course, I've got my lineup of TLC shows.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, I was gonna say, now, this isn't tlc, but have you gone. Have you dipped your toe in the blind?

[Brian Green]

No.

[Chris Hoadley]

Episode. New season. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

We were not.

[Chris Hoadley]

I might be done.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. We were not jazzed by the last season. It was okay.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think I might be done after this one.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I think it's run its course, if I'm being honest. It was a great Covid experiment that everyone. It was shocking that we. They could do this, but now everybody who's in on Love is Blind wants.

[Chris Hoadley]

To be on tv.

[Brian Green]

Wants to be on tv. It's gotten to the. It's got. It's one of those reality shows. Like all reality shows, they jump the shark. They are eventually. They're eventually like parodies of themselves, essentially. And I think Love is Blind did that about three seasons ago. But this last season, one season ago, it was clear to me that none of these people, I think, were really in it for love. I think they're in it for fame.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. And this season, they do a big reunion at the end. And, I mean, I was just cursing myself. Like, why am I even watching this? It was just so dumb. It was all of the stuff that comes out. Yeah, yeah. And I mean. Yeah, if you're not gonna watch it, I'll tell you.

[Brian Green]

I'm not gonna watch.

[Chris Hoadley]

Nobody gets married.

[Brian Green]

Nobody.

[Chris Hoadley]

No one.

[Brian Green]

Not one.

[Chris Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Green]

Wow, that's a new record for Love is Blind because they know that it's a. It's not a ridiculous premise. People can fall in love instantaneously and get married. Listen, Astard and I got married in a year. Like, I mean, we did. We got married a year after meeting each other, and 10 years, 11 years later, we're still together. So I'm not judging how fast or how slow someone gets married or whatever it is, but, you know, is love really blind? I think most of the time not. And I think that's proven time and.

[Chris Hoadley]

Time, the premise of it. But there does also have to be that chemistry in person.

[Brian Green]

It's got to be there.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

It's got to be there to have.

[Chris Hoadley]

Sex with the person, live with the person, be together, have children with the person. Yes.

[Brian Green]

And how can you spend 10 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours in a compartment not looking at somebody and fall in love with them? Okay, I get it. There's some energy building up between the two. You know, you're not getting to the next step unless you get engaged. So there's incentive already. If you want to be famous, if you want to be on television, if you want to go on vacation, if you want this ride to continue, you've got to get engaged. So there's. It's highly incentivized on the wrong things. Not the right things. The first season, we didn't know that.

[Dr. D]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

So, okay, no one knew that. The second season, maybe some people didn't know it. The third season, but the third season ends up having one of the best love stories of them all. And that is the love story where, you know, the song plays at the end if you. What was that? If you want a better give it up on damn, just dance. He falls in love with somebody, it quickly becomes. He falls in love with two women, he dumps one of them, he picks the one. That's clearly not the right choice. We all Were yelling at the screen. They go. Two days later, they're like, this isn't working. It's not for us. And he comes crawling back to the original woman in her hometown. And it's the best love story. And now they are married with children. They have married and they have kids. So I will say that it just goes to show, like, this experiment is a little bit broken in the sense that it incentivizes the wrong things. Right. The right thing is. Yes. The personality matches and all that.

[Chris Hoadley]

Values.

[Brian Green]

Values and.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Religions and whatever. All the things.

[Brian Green]

Learn that after you fuck them, because that's how most of us do it. Make sure your dick fits in the right hole first. You know what I'm saying? That's the. That's just basic human anatomy. Me, I'm not trying to rabble Ralphs. I'm just being honest. It will not work if you're not attracted to that person.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Maybe they don't need to make it with a marriage. Maybe they could somehow change it to where it's like you just. You move in together.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

That's where things go wrong.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

If we're being honest.

[Brian Green]

Or I say you put the pictures of everybody up on the wall and you don't tell them whose voice goes with which picture.

[Chris Hoadley]

Ooh, that's good.

[Brian Green]

But you put a number on there and you get. And you can. If you. If you choose to guess, you choo. Like, if you put numbers.

[Chris Hoadley]

Got an idea?

[Brian Green]

Yes. You have an idea. This is one of these people, right? One of these 10 people is talking to me right now, and I'm really attracted to her. And only. You can only go on that vacation and get married if you're both. Pick the right number with the right voice and you guys fall in love. That's it. And then it's like a game show. Right. I think they need to make it get. Where's J. Where's Jess. Nick and Jess. Nick and whatever. Vanessa.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, we need to get that. Of course they show up for two minutes every season.

[Chris Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Green]

I thought. You know, I thought they were executive producers. They are not really executive producers. Yeah. They're just. They get paid, like $12,000 a season.

[Chris Hoadley]

They've got to have some part of it now.

[Brian Green]

There's got to be something. Yeah, there's got to be something to pay them to go ask dumb questions at the end of the season. I mean, it has been a huge hit, but I think it's jumped the shark.

[Chris Hoadley]

I think so, too. I was like, okay, I'm Done.

[Brian Green]

I'm not biting on season. What is it, season seven now? Six.

[Chris Hoadley]

Six, I think seven.

[Brian Green]

Something like that. I'm not biting on season six or seven. And forget about all the other cultures, you know, Sweden, uk and I tried to watch uk. That's, that's.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, I tried to watch the UK one too and I didn't like it either.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And now Married at First Sight, which is different but similar, which I think there's a better chance of those people getting along. Right. Because at least you see them when you're walking down the aisle.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

And they have, they have like experts that help you along and coach you and all this other stuff. And the experts match you guys together.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

So they, there's some. They have a better hitting rate. The hitting average, I think. Batting average. I don't think they're actually broadcasting that on the television anymore. I think you got to go to Paramount plus or Lifetime or whatever it is. But anyway, the Married were at Married at First Sight, Australia is the best of the bunch because everybody wants to be famous. They know they're there to be famous and they don't give a shit. They just rabble rouse and cause trouble. And that's fine with me. If we're going to deal with what we're going to deal with, let us deal with, with it. That's it. All right. But still, TLC still hitting home runs with some of the programming. Married at First Sight, I'm out.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Married at First Sight, the Other Way is a little interesting this year. But Married at First Sight with the same five people, you know, is everyone's. Whatever. I don't care anymore. But there are a couple of shows. 7 Little Johnston's out Loud, Balin Out Loud, which is the girl who has extreme Tourette Syndrome. That show's pretty fun and funny to watch. But Seeking Sister Wives. Oh, is still, really still up there. Yes, because the same idiots are back and new idiots are there and everyone's trying to fuck everybody else. Really? Yes. I wanted you to watch a little bit of it with me and tell me what you think. So let's do that. We'll. We'll take a break.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

And we'll watch some, some of the most recent season.

[Chris Hoadley]

Cody's still there.

[Brian Green]

No, that is Sister Wives. That's a whole different show. No, the. All those people are divorced, by the way. That's what I thought. Not one sister Wife. Not one. I mean, they had. There's one.

[Chris Hoadley]

I was confused.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, but the other 4, 5, 10, whatever they were they all left now they're all dating now. They're all on Tinder or Tinder people now. I don't know.

[Chris Hoadley]

Onlyfans.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it's a whole different show now. Now it's like single sister wives, I guess. Seeking single sister wife. Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Seeking single wives.

[Brian Green]

Yes. Seeking one wife. All right, we'll be back.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay, hold on.

[Christina]

This.

[Brian Green]

This show, the show's wild. All right, now, the guy that we're going to introduce you to, I. I'll just let you make the judgment call here. You. You make the judgment call.

[Reed]

So, you know, you guys have been part of our journey as we've been growing our family.

[Brian Green]

This guy's name is Reed.

[Reed]

We are going to continue growing it, but this time not with a baby.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay, well, the family. He's saying this to the family.

[Brian Green]

This is Reed. Reed's talking to his family. He's letting everyone know that he's gonna crow without his family. Tell me what you think about Reed. Yeah, Yeah. I don't want to make assumptions based on someone's affectation, but it. Yeah, it might or might not sound like Reed is playing for Both teams, you know what I'm saying?

[Reed]

We're actually seeking a sister wife.

[Chris Hoadley]

The family.

[Brian Green]

The family can't even. They can't even. Oh, this is gonna get juicy.

[Reed]

I love it.

[Brian Green]

Okay, here we go.

[Reed]

So we got the chickens today, huh?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it was cold.

[Reed]

Hey, Paqua, where's your other sister wife?

[Billie Jean]

She's over there.

[Reed]

Aw.

[Brian Green]

Aw, so sweet. Look at little rooster over there. First of all, all you got to know that Reed, they are in a rather small house somewhere, probably rural. That's fine. Whatever. They have five chickens inside. Inside the house, in the kitchen, around their small children. Bird flu, dude. Sweetie, come on.

[Chris Hoadley]

What are they feeding it, too?

[Brian Green]

What's that? What are they feeding that tomato? I don't know. I didn't know chickens ate tomatoes.

[Billie Jean]

I'm Billie Jean and we're the Williamsons.

[Brian Green]

What's the best I have never been so excited about without saying my name?

[Billie Jean]

And we're the Williamsons.

[Brian Green]

What the babies doing?

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay, so they've got two. Are they twins?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, they're twins.

[Chris Hoadley]

I mean, they're young.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, they're really young. 9 months, 10 months old.

[Reed]

We live in New Ross, Indiana. We are a little bit country, a.

[Brian Green]

Little bit rock and roll.

[Billie Jean]

We've got two kids, two dogs. We've got three cats, chickens. Hello, my loveies. And we are seeking a.

[Jess]

My sister.

[Brian Green]

Oh, sister wives. Why is he doing jazz hands every time?

[Chris Hoadley]

He talks about doing jazz hands a lot.

[Brian Green]

What's going on?

[Chris Hoadley]

And what an enticing situation that they fostered in order to entice someone to come over and be their sister wife. Yeah, Screaming bees, chickens, cats.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chris Hoadley]

Tiny place, Indiana.

[Reed]

Nice.

[Brian Green]

Oh, shoot.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well.

[Brian Green]

The chicken's now on the counter.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I, I, I can't even.

[Billie Jean]

No, she's like, I've got an egg to come out and I need a place to lay.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, your kitchen counter sounds like a good place to lay an egg around.

[Chris Hoadley]

Your nest up there.

[Brian Green]

10 month old child. I love my chicken eggs.

[Reed]

I love that for you.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my God.

[Billie Jean]

Do you guys want some eggs?

[Brian Green]

They're feeding eggs to the chickens. What? Oh, this is all wrong. It's just wrong. I know you'll eat it.

[Billie Jean]

We've been together for seven years.

[Chris Hoadley]

Lay the egg. And then they. She fed it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, then she boiled it and then she fed it the shell. I, I guess the shell. Okay, all right. I didn't know chickens ate chicken. Shells.

[Chris Hoadley]

Tomatoes and shells.

[Brian Green]

It's your name. Tomatoes and shells.

[Billie Jean]

And married for four. But we've known each other for over 20 years.

[Reed]

We met.

[Billie Jean]

We were in middle school.

[Reed]

We were both in show choir together. And I was like the star of the show. And she was.

[Billie Jean]

I was on stage crew.

[Reed]

She was stage crew. And she actually was the one that helped me, like, get into my outfit. So she was already undressing me a long time before we knew it.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh.

[Brian Green]

I've almost never been so sure about something in my entire life, Chrissy.

[Chris Hoadley]

I read an article about this the other day, though, and it was. It was about a gay man and his best friend, the woman, and they got married and they were having a baby, and it was like a thing.

[Brian Green]

This happens. One of the most controversial.

[Chris Hoadley]

They both knew.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

One of the most controversial shows that. That has ever aired on TLC was My Husband is Gay. And it was about Mormons who lived in Utah whose husbands were gay, but because they didn't believe in homosexuality, they married women who knew they were gay. And then the guys. Then there were a bunch of them. Right? A bunch of guys that. That. That. This was well known.

[Chris Hoadley]

Retreats.

[Brian Green]

They would go on camping trips and have book club and have drinking nights. They would hang out together. That's it. That's all I gotta say. But it was. Yeah, it was so controversial that it only ran for two episodes and they pulled it off air and you can'. Find it anymore.

[Chris Hoadley]

Who does that with shows?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, sometimes they. They bury it. Well, because when you're going this far off the radar, you're about to have a. You're going to have a up somewhere. Yes. Oh, no. His pacifier fell.

[Reed]

I got to get a new one.

[Billie Jean]

The idea for our polygamy family came from me. We had to do IVF because I can't use my own eggs to form an embryo. When we went through our infertility journey, one of my friends donated her eggs for us so we could do ivf. We want a big family, and I think we would have as many kids as possible.

[Chris Hoadley]

She'd be pregnant right now.

[Billie Jean]

Yeah. The only thing is that we have to do ivf and so why don't we have someone else come in who wants more kids and so we can have an even bigger family than what we can do.

[Chris Hoadley]

You mean like a surrogate?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, or adopting you. This is weird. You're bringing in someone just to your husband.

[Reed]

So we really have been.

[Brian Green]

I mean, I guess that's what seeking sister wife is, huh?

[Reed]

Talking about adding a sister wife and polygamy. For a couple years she's been talking.

[Billie Jean]

I've been talking about it anyways.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Billie Jean]

Bringing it up trying to put a bug in his ear.

[Reed]

Yeah. And I mean, I just really, you know, recently took her serious on it.

[Billie Jean]

A. You got the pretty ones. That one's sweet.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh.

[Billie Jean]

Oh, goodness.

[Reed]

I hope whoever this sister wife is.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, the chickens okay with a lot of chicken poop? Yep.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, the chicken's shitting all over her. Yeah. I think we can get over the chickens.

[Billie Jean]

Yeah. She kind of needs to be a little bit more country than city.

[Reed]

I just. I don't know where to begin. Like, are we gonna go to the apps? I don't think anyone in small town New Ross is going.

[Christina]

No.

[Billie Jean]

That's why you can set your distance out so you can, like, meet more people.

[Brian Green]

Throw the net wine, move.

[Billie Jean]

That line on the app is definitely something to get us, like, our feet in the door and see what we're doing.

[Chris Hoadley]

Where do you start with the apps? Is it the apps for threesomes? You just kind of start there.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. I'm sure that there are polygamy apps. There must be polygamy apps.

[Chris Hoadley]

Probably.

[Brian Green]

I would imagine it's popular enough now that you can probably have an app to consolidate. But there's also, I think on the regular apps, you can just indicate that you're looking for someone else.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, you can. No, but I'm saying that for like, a threesome, though. But this is like, to marry.

[Brian Green]

Wow. That's a different whole. That's a whole different bag of wax. Yeah. And I do have to say I think it's a little. Maybe not weird, but I think it's a little shoe on the other foot that it's the women in some of these cases that really are pushing their husband for another wife.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Billie Jean]

Begins right.

[Reed]

We are completely brand new to this. I don't know what we're really getting ourselves into because we have no idea what this life is.

[Brian Green]

Is life. Because I was lucky enough to get one. I don't know if I'm gonna catch two.

[Billie Jean]

But we're willing to give it a shot because it's focused on what we are looking for. A community.

[Brian Green]

A community.

[Reed]

I mean, I feel like we have to have.

[Brian Green]

Go to church, get involved in the pta, Some guidelines.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Billie Jean]

You know, we'll figure it out as we go. There's no rules, really.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, the old wolf. Figure it out as we go. That always turns out every time.

[Brian Green]

We'll figure it out as we go.

[Billie Jean]

Dates and me hanging back because I feel like we have a good enough connection and I trust his opinion and I want him to also that when he's meeting someone new, I want them to have those first few moments together in the bond and to get to know each other. So down the line I can totally see me like jumping in and wanting to get to know them. But as far as first impressions and getting the feels out there, I trust Reese totally with that.

[Chris Hoadley]

What was that show on hbo? That was the. Was it called Sister Wives? That was a great show. To looking back on it now, it was so revolutionary. But then, now TLC has come out with actual reality shows. But it was a. It was a act. All the actors.

[Brian Green]

Chloe Svengali.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah. Was in it. She played one of the wives.

[Brian Green]

Not Svengali. Svenji or whatever her name is. Yeah. She's beautiful. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. God, I can't remember the name.

[Billie Jean]

I think it'll be funny to kind of see you on a date with someone else because you wanna watch me.

[Reed]

Just friend zone someone else.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, kind of.

[Billie Jean]

Because like, you're lucky you got me. You know, like if I hadn't spoke up, imagine where we would be. So that's my only.

[Reed]

See, I'm already nervous just thinking about it and I haven't even. I don't even know if anyone's gonna date me.

[Billie Jean]

But.

[Brian Green]

I mean, wow, this guy, he's no Casanova, that's for sure. Unlike a lot of these guys who want Sister wives, that they're macho alpha males who are ready to stick their dick in anything that moves. This guy, not that guy.

[Reed]

No, we're not like hyper sexual people at this point. Like, I know there's some times that.

[Billie Jean]

Mr. Mr. Spicy is non existent. This is Mr. Mr. Tone.

[Reed]

She adds the sprinkles.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, I had the.

[Dr. D]

The flair.

[Brian Green]

He is gay. There is no doubt about it. The way that he's touching her, looking at her, his affectations. I don't want to like throw the baby out with the bathwater and say everyone who has a lisp or does jazz hands every time they talk is gay. Because that's. I don't also want to then throw a big blanket over everyone.

[Chris Hoadley]

No, no.

[Brian Green]

Every gay man. Like, clearly there are very macho gay men. There are very effeminate gay men.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, he was in the chorus.

[Brian Green]

He was in the chorus? Yeah, he was on. She was undressing him. There's no sex. He doesn't care. He doesn't like women.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, right.

[Billie Jean]

But this is my plain vanilla.

[Reed]

I'm just the prop.

[Brian Green]

Sorry it's so cold.

[Reed]

First margarita's on me.

[Brian Green]

Let's go margarita.

[Reed]

Tonight we are baby free. So we are gonna meet up with my dear friend Kayla.

[Jess]

Reese.

[Brian Green]

Are you wearing slippers? Oh, my goodness. Doesn't surprise me. You've been wearing slippers since high school. Kayla is that's a way to get the ladies, get them to love your slippers first.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, yeah. It was called Big Love.

[Brian Green]

Oh, big Love. I do remember that. Okay, let's take a break and when we get back, we'll get more of Reese's opinion on plural.

[Chris Hoadley]

Man on slippers.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, for sure. Sure.

We're watching Sister Seeking Sister Wives and we're looking at Reese and Billie Jean's relationship. They are new this season. There's always a couple new ones, a couple old ones. Ones.

[Chris Hoadley]

What's the old ones? So they don't start off new every season?

[Brian Green]

No, they don't start. Well, not some of them. Like, some leave and then, you know, I imagine that it's hard enough to find a sister wife, but then you have a camera crew following you around and a lot of them just don't work out. So I think the next season, the camera. The cameras are uninterested in following them around. But this is Reese and Billie Jean. They are new this season. This is the beginning of their journey. I want to point out that they're at a Mexican restaurant. The most colorful Mexican restaurant I've ever seen in my entire life. There are two grandmas in the background having nothing to do with this. They are drinking margaritas that are neon. They're neon. That's not the natural color of a margarita. I'm sure of it.

[Reed]

My best friends. I've known her, gosh, since high school when we were on show choir. Her and I also went to the same college. She was in our wedding. She's like, like, like a sister to me.

[Billie Jean]

I mean, but not like the sister wife. Sister.

[Reed]

Yeah, we could never. That's gross. I love her to death and. But I could never. She could never be a sister wife.

[Brian Green]

Says every guy when they're attracted to another girl.

[Chris Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

So how's the search been going for the sister wife?

[Reed]

Well, like, I'm worried because I've been out of the game. I was never really in the game.

[Brian Green]

I was going to say, at least he's on it. Yeah, I like it.

[Reed]

One of my biggest concerns is in the past, people have said, like, assumed I was gay.

[Brian Green]

Okay, okay, there we go. We are addressing the elephant in the room right away. I like it. Go.

[Reed]

I don't know what I mean.

[Brian Green]

I remember, like, the first time it got brought to my attention, they were like, I thought he was gay. And I was like, well, I mean, I can see. Oh, come on, girl. Oh, come on, girl. You knew it from the moment you met him.

[Christina]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brian Green]

I can see how you would think that. Yeah. He loves the arts. He loves humans and loves that connection. And it's not coming across to women as, hey, I want to go home with you. I think he comes off as feminine. I think you're right about that.

[Billie Jean]

Even the first time my dad met him, my dad asked if he was gay. I took him over to a family dinner.

[Reed]

Well, we were just art, so. I mean, I didn't help.

[Brian Green]

Jazz hands don't help.

[Reed]

Yeah, I was flipping them around.

[Brian Green]

Jazz hands don't help. See, everybody's recognizing the same things, but that's me.

[Reed]

Like, I don't give.

[Brian Green]

I don't give a crap. Yeah, you're animated. You use your hands a lot.

[Reed]

Yeah. And I've got a higher voice, a little guy.

[Brian Green]

I think people just, wow, this is just a beat up session on his masculinity. Oh, poor guy. Sure, you're short, you're ugly, you're gay. That's why people think you're gay. It's cause you're gay. You were a late bloomer.

[Billie Jean]

Super flamboyant and loud, but that's.

[Brian Green]

This is his own wife talking. Oh, my God.

[Reed]

Just not flamboyant.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, you are.

[Billie Jean]

You are.

[Chris Hoadley]

The margaritas are flowing.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, the truth comes out. He's learning. You're learning for the first time. You're flamboyant. I highly doubt it. Okay.

[Reed]

No, I'm just.

[Brian Green]

Okay.

[Reed]

I'm taking notes. Notes. I'm just taking notes.

[Billie Jean]

Yes, over here.

[Reed]

Yes. Chicken fajita. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

[Billie Jean]

Thank you.

[Reed]

Oh, my God, that's so delicious. Thank you. Thank you.

[Billie Jean]

If we're gonna be like really serious about this, then, like, you really need to step up your game.

[Reed]

When the waitress comes over again, I'm gonna make her blush.

[Brian Green]

Oh, really?

[Chris Hoadley]

Let's see how this happens.

[Reed]

I mean, I can make her blush. If I was gay, I would. Yeah, I would tell everyone. I'd shout it from the rooftops. Like, no problem there. But I like the boobies too much.

[Brian Green]

Anybody? That doesn't mean you're not gay. I mean, yeah, I've. I've been friends with gay guys. One of my roommates was a gay guy. And you know what?

[Chris Hoadley]

They can appreciate some boobs.

[Brian Green]

He loved hits more than I did.

[Billie Jean]

You need to be a little more smooth than goofy, because adult women don't want goofy.

[Brian Green]

We want a man. How's everything doing, darling? Oh, okay. Here comes a cute little waitress coming over now. His job is to flirt with her.

[Reed]

Everything was beautiful. It is great.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my gosh. He's touching her in a way that just screams not super manly. I don't know. We literally.

[Reed]

No, no, no, no. It is so delicious. Do you cook this yourself?

[Brian Green]

I mean, I like to say.

[Reed]

Can you.

[Chris Hoadley]

I could.

[Brian Green]

I could try.

[Reed]

Because I could eat this every day. So if you want to come home with us anytime, you know.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, my God. I'm embarrassed.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I get ass. I mean. No, he's probably not kidding about the. You can come home with them. They are looking for a sister wife.

[Reed]

What?

[Chris Hoadley]

A sister wife.

[Brian Green]

A what? Say that. A what?

[Jess]

A sister.

[Chris Hoadley]

A sister wife. Oh.

[Reed]

The big question here is, like, they're saying, I don't have any gang. How did I do?

[Brian Green]

How did I do? I think you did great.

[Reed]

All right.

[Brian Green]

Honestly, I think you did great.

[Chris Hoadley]

Also. I work for tips.

[Brian Green]

Date with me. Yeah. I need your money to pay my rent.

[Reed]

You can be honest.

[Dr. D]

Please.

[Reed]

I.

[Brian Green]

No.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh.

[Brian Green]

I don't know if I could ever be a sister wife. I've heard of it, but never actually been around people who want to, you know, move forward with that kind of life. That's a lot for me.

[Reed]

Me.

[Brian Green]

No.

[Reed]

Yeah, we'll call you. All right.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Sounds good. I'll be here.

[Reed]

Thank you so much. Beautiful.

[Chris Hoadley]

Oh, throw that.

[Brian Green]

Oh, just throw that. Beautiful in there. Try and macho it up a little bit. That was a little bit better. I was.

[Chris Hoadley]

I wasn't supposed to be.

[Brian Green]

Reese has a challenge ahead of him. He. He has Billy, which is great, but it took him a while to find Billy, and now you're starting from ground zero. This is a big task.

[Chris Hoadley]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Keep the jazz hands to yourself.

[Chris Hoadley]

To yourself.

[Brian Green]

That's crazy.

[Reed]

Today we are on our way to my mom's house because we are going to break this news to my dad and my two cousins that we are seeking a sister wife. So we are pulling off the band aid today. And, I mean, I've even been afraid of just, you know, the few people that we have said something to, like, is it going to get through? Are they going to hear? I don't know that you should just.

[Chris Hoadley]

Be announcing everyone before, but maybe they're.

[Brian Green]

Doing it because they live in a small town. Maybe. I don't know. And they might. Some people might be like, why is he out there searching for dates?

[Reed]

Fine. Like, we're in a small town, everybody.

[Brian Green]

So my mom.

[Reed]

I mean, she already knows. So it's not like. And she's. She's supportive. She at least has told us she's supportive.

[Jess]

Good.

[Billie Jean]

I know.

[Reed]

I started to sweat thinking about it.

[Rachel]

Right.

[Reed]

My parents, they've been divorced for 35 years, but my mom does know. She was a safe bet, like, definitely she's always gonna stand by me, so that was an easy one to. To be able to let her in. I think religion might come into it with Christina.

[Billie Jean]

I do too.

[Reed]

I mean, they're all gonna have an opinion about it. Everyone is right. I think we're kind of gonna. There's gonna be a lot of judgment, but we definitely wanna grow our family.

[Billie Jean]

I mean, there's all kinds of different family dynamics. So to me, a sister wife, it's not weird. And I think it would be amazing to have that support. Having a bunch of powerful women raising kids sounds awesome.

[Brian Green]

I just don't think I could do this. I just don't think that I could do this. I think this is like. I think polyamory is an indication that something is wrong with the original relationship. That's my personal opinion. Not in every case, but in a lot of cases. And I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's fair to the kids that you're going to raise. I don't know if it's fair to the people inside of the relationship, and I just don't see how the mechanics work out in the long run. Yeah, right. I don't know. That's just my opinion. That's just my opinion. All right, so let's get to the part where he breaks it to his family who are super religious.

[Reed]

So where is dad and Christina and Lindsay?

[Billie Jean]

They should be here anytime.

[Brian Green]

Wow. He just wants to get to it, huh?

[Billie Jean]

I absolutely support billion Reese to seek a sister wife. It's not something I would or could do in a. In a million years. But if it makes them happy, that's. That's my main concern.

[Brian Green]

Oh, it's blue. It is. It's ten blues. Oh, maybe I don't have it so bad.

[Billie Jean]

Is important to me because losing our support group would be detrimental.

[Reed]

We don't know what's gonna happen. So just the unknown is always scary. It's. It's definitely got me sweating a little bit.

[Brian Green]

Hey. Oh, so is his dad maybe not a part of the family anymore? I guess.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, they're divorced.

[Brian Green]

Oh, they're divorced?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, they've been divorced for like, 30 years.

[Brian Green]

Good. How are you, gorgeous?

[Reed]

We have kept it secret long enough, but, I mean, it would be absolutely devastating if I lost my family over this.

[Christina]

What can I get you, Karen? I washed my hands.

[Billie Jean]

No, I'm waiting.

[Reed]

I need to wash my hands.

[Billie Jean]

Honestly, honest, I'm good.

[Christina]

I'm waiting.

[Billie Jean]

I'm not in any hurry.

[Reed]

Of course. Christina's. They're gonna remind us to wash our hands. Keep everything.

[Billie Jean]

I washed my hands also. I just did.

[Reed]

All right, well, guys, after our little pizza party.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. After my pepperoni show slides down my throat, I wanted to let you know I'm looking to stick my dick in yet even more women.

[Reed]

Thank you, seriously, all for coming. So, you know, you guys have been part of our journey as we've been growing our family, and we are going to continue growing it.

[Chris Hoadley]

But the dad already.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, the dad was like, huh? You've had more sex?

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Tell me more, son.

[Von Miller]

Okay.

[Reed]

We're actually seeking a sister wife.

[Chris Hoadley]

Crickets. The cousin makes us a joke.

[Brian Green]

Do you know, like, is this real? Yeah, like, two wives, polygamy.

[Reed]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Oh, dad does not seem pleased when.

[Christina]

Reese tells me it's illegal.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah, that's true. It's also. Yeah, it's also about that.

[Christina]

My stomach dropped, and I instantly wanted to be like, no. Why?

[Reed]

What's your thoughts? You seem. You good. It's just everything's so different.

[Brian Green]

You good? Everything's so different nowadays. You got the gays with the gays. You got people marrying roosters. You got chickens on the countertop. It was hard enough when you guys had twins, and I didn't even know you were sexual, and now you're gonna have two vaginas in the same house. When I was a kid, we didn't even have one vagina in the house. We had two houses for each other. Is that even legal?

[Christina]

Uncle Reed was. I mean, if something's going on, we.

[Reed]

Don'T have to get married. But, I mean, you're only married.

[Brian Green]

We can live in sin. Hey, I'm not judging Billy. I'm just curious.

[Reed]

Billy is. Is the main one. Billy is.

[Brian Green]

Is why the main one? I'm sure she loves that for herself.

[Reed]

Number one queen.

[Brian Green]

So you want to, like, have more children with that other woman?

[Reed]

I mean, we want to have more babies.

[Brian Green]

So, grandpa, that guy looks like the guy from Nerds, doesn't he? Like the main character from Nerds all grown up.

[Billie Jean]

What do you think? I want Christina's honest opinion about the whole thing.

[Reed]

What do you think? Come on.

[Christina]

Well, a few things here. I think it's confusing for children. I think that it can cause confusion in the house.

[Brian Green]

It can cause disease.

[Christina]

Oh, and obviously, of course, you know, we just have different views. I believe that God created man and woman for man and woman to be together, be married. So, I mean, it is broken.

[Reed]

There's a lot of religions, though, that do practice. Practice that.

[Christina]

Right. But religion and Spirituality is not what you believe in.

[Reed]

Is not.

[Brian Green]

Well, okay, so wait, so you're saying that you believe God created man and woman to be with each other, but that's not religion. That's spirituality. Yeah, Yeah, I think you're. I don't. I guess I don't need to add any color commentary to that one.

[Reed]

What? Right.

[Christina]

Maybe so, but no, like, there's only one Bible, right?

[Brian Green]

No, there are thousands, literally thousands of different versions of the Bible.

[Christina]

Think that the world we live in now, anything is welcome because we have diverted so far away from the way.

[Brian Green]

Things used to be. Jesus.

[Christina]

And I also think it's confusing for children to have two of the same sex parents, let alone three parents. Isn't the sister wife gonna be a lesbian with you?

[Billie Jean]

No.

[Chris Hoadley]

I'm like, no.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my God. Some people are so thick.

[Billie Jean]

Basically, like a friend for me, I get like a built in friend. Like a sister.

[Reed]

Like a sister and a wife for me.

[Billie Jean]

I told him, I was like, honestly, it would be great to have another set of hands. He's like, are you serious? I was like, yeah, no, but really. And so, like, I would bring it up.

[Christina]

Can't do a nanny.

[Chris Hoadley]

Well, I know. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I mean, I agree with that. Yeah. Listen, I don't know. Every situation is different. I'm not. Again, I'm not trying to, like, throw the baby out with the bathwater. Every situation is different. But any time I've seen polyamory happen, it always, at least in my personal circle, seems to end in some kind of drama.

[Chris Hoadley]

It takes a lot of work.

[Brian Green]

It takes a lot of work and a lot of understanding and a lot of. Of like, I think backseating of your own natural inclination to feel something about your loved one being with someone else.

[Billie Jean]

Looking for a nanny. I don't.

[Reed]

I.

[Billie Jean]

We're wanting to grow our family, not have somebody take care of our family.

[Christina]

I think it's selfish because you guys are getting. You're fulfilling your needs, you know, you guys are wanting an extra person to help you raise kids. You're wanting to build a village. You're wanting to build a family. You know, really, Reese is going to be getting sexual intimacy out of it. Billy's going to be getting a sister out of it. But what about the kids?

[Brian Green]

What about the kids?

[Christina]

Are they going to be made fun of? I know we shouldn't care what people think, but the harsh reality, right? Like, how are these kids going to be treated because they have two moms.

[Billie Jean]

I want somebody with an emotional connection that we can get along with. That I can build a village and have and rely on, and that they know they can rely on me.

[Brian Green]

But you're assuming that relationship will always be there. That's why I think it's unfair to kids. We were talking about, my wife and I were talking about a friend of a friend who has now gone through his first wife, passed. Now he's been through a divorce. Right. And the kids are obviously not handling all of this very well. And how important it is to choose wisely when you decide to bring someone into the family, into the fold, when it comes to children. Because they get attached.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

As to parent, you know, to authority figures, to parental figures, to people who love them. And then if it's not the right person, if it's not the right mix, or if it's not the right situation, and then that person leaves.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

If they're not old enough to understand what's going on, that can be pretty devastating to their emotional well being. I'm not saying that happens in every situation, but look at that Cody guy. All his children are all whacked. They're all like teaming up with this family and this wife and that guy, and none of them like Cody.

[Dr. D]

Cody.

[Brian Green]

No one likes Cody because Cody has managed to not give his attention to 36 different children with 17 different wives. It's a hot fucking emotional mess. And the real losers are not the women. Yes, they're losing too, I think. Or they lost some part of their life. It's not Cody. He's a dipshit. It's those children. They are suffering in some way, shape or form because they don't have a bond with the dad they needed. And they, they are now torn apart from the moms they had because they're all gone in separate directions. Yeah, that can be so tough. So if you want to do polyamory and you're 25 years old and you're out on the New York single scene.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, go for it.

[Brian Green]

Cool, dude. Yeah, no problem. It's just your emotions involved. But that's, that's a different kind of polyamory, in my opinion. That's like, you know, having fun poly. That's exploring sexuality. And maybe you do that for the rest of your life. But when you bring kids involved and your whole purpose is to have and raise children inside of unit that's constantly growing with adult parental figures, you have to be careful about who you choose to bring into that unit. And you have to make sure it's not just for now, it's for ever. Because those kids are going to need that parent for ever. Lots of divorces happen and parents manage their way through it. That's not what I'm saying. But this feels like. This is not that, in my opinion. It's not about man or woman. I'm talking about man or man, Woman or woman. Man or woman, dog or cat, I don't care.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

You have to be careful when you bring the children in because the children are the most important thing. Children are our future, Chrissy. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Yes, I'm on a roll today.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yes, you are. Yeah, this show's wild.

[Dr. D]

And then.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, and then to be navigating it all with cameras.

[Brian Green]

Yes, document. That's the part that really kicks me in the potatoes. But I'm. But I enjoy watching. Watching it as a fun shits and giggles show. I enjoy watching it because it's. It's interesting to see how people are trying to navigate this. My favorite is the two, you know, the Merrimans or whatever their name is. The guy who's always picking another hot Colombian from.

[Chris Hoadley]

Yeah, from South America.

[Brian Green]

From South America. Yeah. He's got yet another one.

[Chris Hoadley]

They're still on.

[Brian Green]

Oh, they're on now. Their fourth try. They have young, young boys who they brought into the show from time to time. And those boys have gotten attached to woman after woman after woman. And all he does is have sex with them and then manages not to get married to them. I mean, honestly. And he's divorced her. She's their divorce. So that he can find that sister wife. And it's all because of God. God. God told him. God came to him while he was working out and told him.

[Chris Hoadley]

While he was working.

[Brian Green]

That's how he says. Yeah. He is such a dipshit. Honestly, that guy is a nudnik of epic proportions. I would tell it to his face. He's just. He's selfish is what he is. Yeah, he's selfish. And that poor Danielle, she's just a hot mess. Merrick's out looking for the next 20 year old Brazilian with big boobs.

[Chris Hoadley]

Twas a cold winter's night and without any heat. I wore Bombas socks so they'd warm up my feet. Yay. My feet cried. These socks are the best. So cushy and warm I can finally rest. But don't rest, I said. There's more if you please. Bombas also makes underwear, slippers and tees, and for each thing you purchase, they donate one new to someone who needs it. So they're cozy too. Everybody deserves to feel good all the time. So gift Bombas this season. That's the end of this rhyme. Go to bombas.comaudio and use code audio for 20% off your first purchase.
