Transcript

[Brian Green]

Hello, me darling.

[Chrissy]

I just want you all to know.

[Brian Green]

You need cakes, a bit of fruit, some laughs, a movie night.

[Chrissy]

I've got magnums of Prosecco.

[Brian Green]

We are in this together. Love you all. On this episode of the commercial break, Boba Fett had a love child. And now that love child has a cousin who one time went to a, you know, a space garage and that's the owner of that space gar garage had a daughter that ended up being the princess of Yakatomi. And now we all gotta watch 7 Satan's about it to stay informed. So you can watch the next movie. I don't care. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my alien friend Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.

[Chrissy]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best to you. Out there in the podcast universe, you sound like an alien.

[Chrissy]

At least I do sound like an alien.

[Brian Green]

I know Chrissy has some ailment while she's in the alien.

[Chrissy]

It's always good to have a cough.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chrissy]

And. Or you know something wrong with your voice when you do a podcast.

[Brian Green]

That's right. Nothing says pleasant. Well, I mean, I don't think we're like anybody's meditation podcast of choice, so I suppose that's a good news.

[Chrissy]

We could still be the one that people that are having sex to.

[Brian Green]

That's right. We are the number one podcast in the world to have sex to. So if you want that. Apparently we're not the number number one podcast in the world to show up to. You're scheduled, though.

[Chrissy]

That's true.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Anyway, I'm not gonna get it.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Why? Why get into it? I shouldn't.

[Chrissy]

Well, I've got my lozenges and my waters and all kinds of things.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Just to let you know, even when you're a big time podcast, like the.

[Chrissy]

Commercial or you think you're a big.

[Brian Green]

Or you think you're a big time podcast, you still get ghosted. It does still happen. And so don't feel bad out there. If it's nothing of getting ghosts on this date, though. I don't feel that bad. I can still go to sleep at night.

[Chrissy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Did you. Do you know Ingrid Andres is Ingrid Andres. She's like a singer of some fashion. Never heard the name before on. Oh, she's a country music singer.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

Until she had made her fateful national television debut at the Home Run Derby singing the national anthem. Oh, and Chrissy, did things go wrong? Yes, things went Terribly.

[Chrissy]

Oh, no.

[Brian Green]

Oh, my God. Did they go wrong? I have never heard a national anthem sung so poorly in my entire life. And I think everyone will agree with me on this now. I think it was Tina, and I think when you were out, Tina and I did an episode where we reviewed bad national anthems over a period of time. And then, of course, the very, very good ones, like, no one's ever going to beat Whitney Houston's national anthem. Was that at the super bowl or something like that?

[Chrissy]

I think so.

[Brian Green]

Super bowl, um. That national anthem, that doesn't give you chills. If that doesn't say America. I mean, that doesn't really, like, make you feel patriotic in some way, shape, or form.

[Chrissy]

But I always do feel nervous for the people every time I watch it.

[Brian Green]

I understand why they just don't tape it and, like, tape it in some studio somewhere and then put it on the jumbotron. Get it right. Because doing it live, it's not an easy song to sing. We've all sung it before.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. And you've got to hit those notes.

[Brian Green]

You got to hit those high notes. You got to remember the fucking words.

[Chrissy]

You have to remember the word.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And it's, you know, I don't know. I've heard Billie Jean just as much as I've heard the national anthem in my life. I can repeat Billie Jean backwards and forwards. But the national anthem, for some reason, anytime I have to sing the words, I get them, but barely. You know, my brain is teetering. I'm thinking about it. I don't know why it's so hard to remember that damn national anthem. But anyway, Ingrid, so here. Here's the Bible.

[Chrissy]

Flavor Flav. Didn't we see something with that Flavor?

[Brian Green]

Did the national. But you expect that on a Flavor fave. Like, did anyone really expect Flavor was going to nail it? Like, they would expect the Whitney Houston version to come out of flavors, mouth? No, no, because Flavor is flavor. He's not a singer. He's a rap Flavor. Flavor. Flavor Flav.

[Chrissy]

What time is it?

[Brian Green]

You know, it's just one of those things, like, you know, Flavor is not going to be the guy that. Yeah, boy. That voice is not going to give you a rousing rendition of the national anthem. It's just kind of like a novelty to see him out there doing it. Of course, you give him some grace because you know that you. His best work is with Public Enemy, and it's behind him. And he's just. Yeah, he's just a good guy now, just running around making people smile. So here's a byline. Country music star Ingrid Andres is owning up to her now infamous national anthem at Monday's Home Run Derby. Admitting owning up, admitting she was absolutely hammered during the performance, Andres faced the music hours after her rendition was widely panned on social media. Going to Instagram and explaining why things went so awry. Not going to bullshit, y'. All. I was drunk last night, she said in a statement. I'm checking myself into a. So nervous, I guess. And, you know, I think sometimes rehab is like, you know, you have an embarrassing moment in public and rehab is just the thing you do. But I don't know. I don't know her. I have no idea who this woman is until I heard this. Until I saw this on social media, and I was like, that is the most terrible version of the national anthem I've ever heard my entire life. And so she's admitting that she had been drinking beforehand and now saying she's checking herself into a facility. I mean, poor girl.

[Chrissy]

I know.

[Brian Green]

Poor girl. So I'm not gonna both. Shit, y', all, I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get help. That was not me last night. Yes, it was you, Andres. Also an extended apology to major league baseball, sports fan and the entire country for her performance. I'll let y' all know how rehab is, and I hear it's super fun.

[Chrissy]

Okay, well, I'll let y' all know how rehab is.

[Brian Green]

It's got a weird thing to say. I'll let y' all know. First of all, I don't think they let you have phones in there. And if they do, it's not a real rehab. Let's just put it.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, this might just be like a getaway.

[Brian Green]

So of course we have to listen to it, don't we?

[Chrissy]

I think we do. I didn't hear it to begin with.

[Brian Green]

So here we go. This is Ingrid singing the national anthem at the Home Run Derby just last night, a couple days ago. Oh, say can you see.

[Chrissy]

By the D?

[Brian Green]

So far, so good.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, not bad. Okay.

[Brian Green]

That's what I thought when I started listening to it, I was like, what's. She's a little odd. She's a little out of key, but that's the nerves. What?

[Chrissy]

So proudly we hail by the twilight. Wow. And there's like a sexiness kind of being thrown in, too.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Didn't. Never thought of the national anthem as sultry. But I can see maybe she's just trying to throw some individuality into there. But this does not get better, my friend.

[Chrissy]

Well, tried. Oh, here's the part. Here's the part coming up. Oh.

[Brian Green]

That's bad. That's really, really bad. And now watching her do it, while I'm listening. While we're listening to this, watching her do it, she's definitely hammered. Definitely.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Her head. Her eyes are half closed. Her head is hung down low. She's. She already knows. She's putting her head. She's burying her head in her sorrow already.

[Chrissy]

She's kind of got. I got to finish it at least.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And listen, you're at the All Star event. You know, baseball, everyone's having fun. You're probably, you know, got all access pass, probably. You're probably just drinking a couple beers and having fun, and then realize, I got to go out and sing in front of millions of people on TV and a full stadium. I think this is in Houston. Unbelievable. Unbelievably bad.

[Chrissy]

Yikes.

[Brian Green]

If you're going to do the national anthem, you gotta practice, practice, practice.

[Chrissy]

You gotta make a motherfucking game.

[Brian Green]

If I'm doing the national anthem, I am demanding a sound check. I'm not gonna be 33. Penis. I'm not gonna go up there in front of millions of people and be like, what's. I have a sound check, dude, this is your sound check. Go ahead, get. Get started. So, like, we're doing the sound check now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. You have 13 minutes.

[Chrissy]

Sound check or not.

[Brian Green]

Call it whatever you want, bro. You had 13. You had 15 minutes. You got 13 left. Okay, Similance, Similance. If I'm doing a national anthem in that. In that stadium, I am asking to do it in the stadium full PA system beforehand so I can hear the.

[Chrissy]

Feedback and the whole night part of it.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You got to practice, right? Yeah. You think they just let anybody. But who is. I mean, maybe she's a big, Big hit, big star, big country star.

[Chrissy]

Must be.

[Brian Green]

I don't know, because that's not the thing that I listen to. But, like, wouldn't you think you would get, like, a really big name? Get. What's that guy's name? Gasm. Gasm. Gasm. Get Smokey Robinson to go.

[Chrissy]

He's probably done it before.

[Brian Green]

He's done it a million times. You know? He has. I wonder if he's done gasm in front of people yet. Nothing like waking up to a little gas. Jas, have you ever heard, like, a really bad national anthem at a live sporting event?

[Chrissy]

I don't think so.

[Brian Green]

I have.

[Chrissy]

You have?

[Brian Green]

I have. It was that, like an indoor soccer game, which admittedly is not the place where you're going to hear the best national anthem in the world. Indoor soccer game. Atlanta, I think it was the Atlanta Gladiators, if I'm not mistaken. The Atlanta Attack or something. Oh, Atlanta Attack. That's what it was, I think.

[Chrissy]

Atlanta Attack.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. They had an indoor. And ever. All the people that played soccer, all the kids that played soccer thought it was fun to go to those games because first of all, no one was there. So you had the run of the Omni at the time. You could go up and down the stairs and go wherever you wanted to. But second of all, it was just kind of cool to watch people play indoor soccer, right?

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Especially when you played the sport. And one of the games that we went to, I do remember vividly that they had a guy come out, he was an older gentleman, maybe in his 50s at the time, and this guy slaughtered the national anthem. He repeated the first verse three times. He sang it way out of key. There was music behind him, like, you know, a track behind him. Yeah. He was so far off the track that he continued to sing for about 30 seconds after the track.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. Well, yeah, that's memorable.

[Brian Green]

It was like super duper. But that you expect because there's 12 people in the audience and they just have to find someone to please sing the song like, you know what I'm saying? Please sing this.

[Chrissy]

It wasn't televised.

[Brian Green]

No. The Atlanta Attack.

[Chrissy]

What was the attacks mascot, do you remember?

[Brian Green]

Soccer ball, I think.

[Chrissy]

Attacking.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. We used to have a professional indoor soccer team, Atlanta, because now we have.

[Chrissy]

Atlanta United, which is pro and great. Everybody goes. Those games, they're fun.

[Brian Green]

Back in the 90s, let's see here, what was it called? The Atlanta Tech. That's right. And I can't believe I remembered that correctly. That's just amazing.

[Chrissy]

It really is. Good job.

[Brian Green]

I can't remember stuff. They're like. Yeah. Their logo was like a red soccer ball. Like a soccer ball with red streaks. Yeah, yeah. And all of us had attack shirts because they gave them to you for free. Just for paying the $7 for showing up, you know, it was all.

[Chrissy]

I can see why that name didn't carry through to today.

[Brian Green]

No, nothing. Indoor soccer in general has made a big splash in the United States. But we played it like when we got too old to play field soccer. I don't know why, when we got too old, it just. You went and played an indoor soccer leagues because the. You don't chase the ball around Too much because it bounces off the wall. You know what I'm saying? There's no. Like, you don't throw it in or anything like that. It just bounces off the walls. It's a much faster version of the sport. Smaller field, you know, and not as much running. Not as much running. So it's for old guys. Yeah, old white guys play indoor soccer. I guess all colors are. Speaking of soccer, the M. The organization that puts together the Copa America and the Miami Hard Rock Stadium put out a statement regarding what happened the other night at Copa America. If you didn't listen to the episode.

[Chrissy]

They'Re looking for their vents.

[Brian Green]

They are. Yeah. They're looking to shut down the stadium altogether, realizing that it's useless. That now that everybody knows how to just get in for free. And they put out this statement. And then someone put together kind of like a super cut of the videos that are out there on social media. And it did look scary at times. Like there were people.

[Chrissy]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

People were handing their children to sheriff's officers because they were getting crushed. And so they were throwing them up there. People were going through the air conditioning events. Yeah, literally, Chrissy. Literally. They were like tossing the kids over to the sheriff's officer.

[Chrissy]

Oh, no.

[Brian Green]

And then at one point, the gates just break. They break. And the sheriff's officer, you can see them, they just like, stand back. Right.

[Chrissy]

They drop the babies.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, they drop the babies and they run away themselves. Good luck with your kids.

[Chrissy]

Try.

[Promo Announcer]

Sorry.

[Brian Green]

I'm going to the Sweets. To protect the rich people.

[Chrissy]

Right?

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it did look a little hairy there at times. And then there was a lot of damage to the actual stadium. Like there was a lot imagine to the stadium. So they say they're working with local authorities and running through videos and trying to find those who were there.

[Chrissy]

Stadium where they played, like football.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

The Dolphins play there.

[Brian Green]

Yes. Okay. At the Hard Rock Stadium. And. And they have major events there. And it's been around for a while. It's not a brand new stadium. It's been there for a minute. So they put out a statement saying that because things got. Sorry. Yes. So sorry.

[Chrissy]

We're going to rehab.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, we're going to rehab. And we'll call you when we get there, let you know how things are.

[Chrissy]

Going, how it goes.

[Brian Green]

On behalf of everyone at the Hard Rock Stadium, we've sent the stadium to rehab. We realize it had a drinking problem.

[Chrissy]

Seriously, it needs to be rehabbed.

[Brian Green]

It does. That's right.

[Chrissy]

You know, Damage.

[Brian Green]

Yes. Now the Imagine Dragons won't Be playing this Sunday as we go to rehab or whatever they say. They put out a statement saying things got hairy and they made a strategic decision, which, watching the video, there was no decision about this. The gates literally broke and people started running in. And the shittiest thing about all of this is that while go. Smashing people. Yeah. Go. Small children getting trampled. Yay.

[Chrissy]

Because the game go on.

[Brian Green]

The game went on, but two hours after it was supposed to start with.

[Chrissy]

Everybody just free for all in there.

[Brian Green]

Everyone free for all. Ing, by all accounts of people who have been posting on social media say that it was like people were literally standing in the stairwells, up and down. It was standing room only. It was crazy crowded. People were getting pulled out of their seats. People were finding their seats taken by people who did not have tickets. They had to call security, which, you know, you can imagine now there's thousands of people who didn't pay for anything to get into the stadium. They're all over the stadium. So getting a hold of a security guard was probably.

[Chrissy]

They could have bought beers.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, you know, look at the bright side, Hard Rock. You have a drinking problem, but you make money off of it, so. Yeah, well, actually, here's a funny thing, is that when this happened, the Hard Rock made the decision. The Hard Rock Stadium made the decision to cease all alcohol sales in the building. So all these yahoos who crashed the gate, now they can't even get a beer. They probably have been drinking out in the fucking parking lot.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, you had to.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Unbelievable. I mean, just like, why? Why over a soccer game? Watch it at home. You don't have tickets. Just watch it at home.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I don't know, like, I'm a trouble.

[Chrissy]

Or even, like, in the parking lot on a tv.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chrissy]

You know, you could have set up, like, a tailgate thing.

[Brian Green]

Yes, you could have set up a tailgate. You know, what happened to the good old days when people stood around a TV shop and watched through the window?

[Chrissy]

I forgot about that.

[Brian Green]

What happened to the moon landing when they just watched through a TV stop window? Where's there a TV shop when you need one? You know, I mean, for God's sakes. Yeah, just continue to grill out and have fun and hang out with your boys. But no, you crash the gate, put other people's lives in jeopardy, and then you're celebrating on the way in because you got in. Congratulations, you fucking moron. It's. You've made everybody life, everybody else's lives miserable because you couldn't Afford couldn't be bothered or didn't get your own ticket. I realize those tickets are expensive, but that's kind of the gig. We all know it. We all know what's going to happen when you have one of those finals. It just seems to me to be a really shitty thing to have to go through. Like, parents are posting whole videos about how they were scared for their life and their children. Some parents said they wouldn't even go in the stadium after that. They were like, we're out. Yeah, see you later. I want to know what happened to the guys in the air conditioning vents. Like, are they still there? Are they gonna get that bad smell? Like when you get a dead rabbit in your house or something, you know?

[Chrissy]

Wow. Hopefully they're checking all the crevices and tunnels and corners.

[Brian Green]

Oh, I check all my crevices and tunnels. I know you do. Every day.

[Chrissy]

You just don't wash the leg.

[Brian Green]

That's right. Anyway, so we'll see how the world.

[Chrissy]

Thanks for the update.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I saw it this morning and I was like, oh, that's a nondescript way of saying we completely fucked up. We had no idea what was going to happen. You had no idea what was going to happen. You have Colombia and Argentina playing in a final in Miami, and you had no idea that there might be some fans that. Extra fans that would show up. You can have like 7 per. Like I said the other day, what's up with the security in the United States of America?

[Chrissy]

Yeah, it's lapsing.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. In all different ways. So anyway, so if you were at the. I'd love to hear. I know we have a lot of people that listen to us in Miami, so I would love to hear if you were there or if you had friend that was there or family member that was there. I would love to hear your perspective on exactly what went down. Apparently, there were some people that said that they got there early and that everything was just fine. They had made it to their seats early and everything was just fine. They. They noticed the stadium was actually. You noticed that everyone was standing in the fire exits, and if there was an emergency, you'd have nowhere to go.

[Chrissy]

And it's two hours late.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, two hours late. And you got small children in tow. Yeah, listen, I'm a troublemaker, but I'm just not that kind of moron. You know what I'm saying? I don't have any interest in crashing the gates.

[Chrissy]

I don't either.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, like, if I was at Woodstock, I would have been like, isn't This a lot to go through to hear. The Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Can we just put it on the record player? You know what I'm saying?

[Chrissy]

Right.

[Brian Green]

Isn't this a lot of drama? Do we have any food? Did anyone plan for that tent? I don't know. All right, let's take a break, and we'll be back with more shenanigans. Hi.

[Promo Announcer]

No, you're not dreaming. And, yes, this is a new promo. See, I made you wait, and now look how happy you are. I know, I know. You're smiling. Anyway, since we're here, why don't you just hop on over to Instagram and give us a follow at the commercial break? Seriously, Please. It's getting hard for me to listen to Brian and Chrissy beg. So just follow us on Instagram again. That's hecommercial break. You can also follow us on TikTok@TCB podcast. And of course, you know where to go for all things TCB. That is tcbpodcast.com, baby. And of course, you can always text us or call us and leave us a voicemail at 212-4333, TCB. Yep, that phone number is no longer new, but it is still around, and that's a win. 212-4333, TCV. Love you. Bye.

[Brian Green]

All right, and we're back as Chrissy and I discuss the woes of the world here on the commercial. So much going on, and you and I are worried about the smallest of potatoes. I mean, honestly. But, you know, I guess everything's about perspective, right?

[Chrissy]

Yes, it is.

[Brian Green]

Speaking of perspective, did you see that they have a new twister movie?

[Chrissy]

No, I did not.

[Brian Green]

Did you see the first Twister?

[Chrissy]

Oh, Twister.

[Brian Green]

The movie about the tornado.

[Chrissy]

God, I was thinking about the game.

[Brian Green]

I didn't. I saw that movie, but, man, was it good. There was a lot of action twister, a lot of jolly shots in that movie.

[Chrissy]

I did see the first Twister. That's been a while back.

[Brian Green]

It's like in 1992 or something. Was it Kevin Bake? No, it was that other guy. It was the other guy that was in the movie with Kevin Bacon. I don't know. Was that Apollo 13 or so? I don't know. Whatever. Anyway, I don't know what I'm talking about. No, it wasn't him. It was. What was the first.

[Chrissy]

It was that other guy's name.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was that.

[Chrissy]

Was he in Jurassic Park?

[Brian Green]

Twister. What's that?

[Chrissy]

Was he in Jurassic Park?

[Brian Green]

No, he wasn't in Jurassic Park. Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Philip Seymour Hoffman was in that movie.

[Chrissy]

That's right, Bill Paxton. I loved Bill Paxton. Sorry, he's gone.

[Brian Green]

Oh, is Bill Paxton gone? Oh, man, I wish I had been told about that. I don't know what I could have done, but I wish somebody informed me.

[Chrissy]

Obviously says Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[Brian Green]

Now there's a loss. I mean, not that Bill Paxton wasn't, but there's a loss. Philip Seymour Hoffman, he was wonderful. Truly one of the best actor, one of my favorites. At least anytime he was in a movie, I felt like it was going to be good. Except for Twister.

[Chrissy]

It came out so long ago.

[Brian Green]

I remember 1996 or 95. Yeah, it was a long time ago.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. So I think I remember I. It was just one of those like blockbuster things at the time.

[Brian Green]

It was, it was when like tentpole movies were first starting to come out. Like the first and second Batman. First and second Batman had come out like late 80s and then early 90s. And then the studios started to think that Die Hard became a hit out of nowhere. Like these big blow them up, lots of action sequences, you know, plot kind of thin. They started to put up, pour a lot of money into these and they really got good. Independence Day was another one. Yeah, I remember seeing Independence Day in a movie theater that was fucking packed. I mean every seat was taken. It was crazy. But Twister, I also remember seeing and being thoroughly unimpressed. Except for the one shot where the cow like flies by the, you know, like the big deal in the movie. To me it was a kind of like a corny movie about tornadoes. And I just didn't care at the time. I mean, I thought, oh, okay, whatever. Did we need a twist or two? Is there anything fucking original going on in Hollywood?

[Chrissy]

No, that's the thing. I was thinking the same thing the other day. It's like all sequels or remakes or some kind of, you know, it's like that new Roadhouse. I refuse to watch it, but I've heard it's really. I did hear it was good, but I principle alone.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I just don't. I agree with you and my point.

[Chrissy]

But I guess for a generation that never really saw the first one.

[Brian Green]

Yes, then it's new. And my point is this is, it's not necessarily about Twisters, the new movie or whatever it's called. It's about the general non creativity that goes on in Hollywood right now. It doesn't seem like there's any of those middle of the road movies. Like medium budget movies that have good actors and actresses in them, good plot lines, well thought out, you know, some kind of mystery or, you know, action movie. That's like. I remember when I saw the first Bourne movie, right?

[Chrissy]

Oh, yeah, Jason Bourne movie.

[Brian Green]

That movie, to me was so original and so well done and so action packed. It didn't have a minute where you felt like you could close your eyes. It was so good. But I don't. I'm sure they're out there. And I know that there's lots of great movies being made every single year. And maybe in some way it's like an embarrassment of Richards. There's too many to see all of them. But these movies that get like, press, the movies that are out there that get a lot of publicity and marketing and all that, they all seem to be the same whitewashed bullshit that we've seen before, taken from, you know, unoriginal scripts that did well before, but now let's remake them because we have to. When we don't really need to do. We need a Jurassic Park 12. We know what happens. The dinosaurs eat people and some. And then the people find a way to pursue Minions for. Okay, I'll give Minions a pass on this because Minions is pretty fucking good. I do like the Minions movie, but everything is just a retread of everything else.

[Chrissy]

Well, I think too, a lot of people are watching. I mean, I know I go more towards like all these series.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chrissy]

You know, so I guess maybe it's. Those are. Some of. Those are really kind of like a really long movie.

[Brian Green]

That's exactly what they are.

[Chrissy]

You know, so you're giving the director.

[Brian Green]

And the writer and the actors time to let it breathe and be well thought out and say everything you need to say and great character development. And I think that's. And I realize a lot of people will say prestige TV has jumped the shark. That might be over. And now the streamers are spending less money on these kind of things because they have to. They actually have to make money now that Wall street is like, well, you've been losing money for 42 straight years. You think you might want to make a profit at some point. I get all of that. Like, I understand the economics behind it and why prestige TV might in some sense be over. But that doesn't mean that you still can't make great movies or television shows. It doesn't mean that everything has to be part of the Marvel universe or the whatever universe. Doesn't mean that everything has to be a retread of everything Else there can be some originality in this artistic expression that I artistic venture that I enjoy so much. There's nothing to me, nothing like a good television show about little people.

[Chrissy]

On TLC or crazy fiance.

[Brian Green]

Or crazy fiance. There's nothing to me like a well paced, well done series that knows when it's time to go. Like Breaking Bad. You know, I would have died for two more seasons of Breaking Bad. I'm sure a lot of people would have died, but I think it was ended at the right time, quite frankly.

[Chrissy]

And then they had the movies.

[Brian Green]

And then they had the movies. Yes, well, they also had one of the best televisions. This is where I give a pass, is that I'm telling you what. Better Call Saul was just as good as Breaking Bad in my personal. I agree, just as good.

[Chrissy]

It was so good.

[Brian Green]

And even though it was timeline adjacent, toward the end there was an original storyline. Thoughts? Character development throughout. This character that you loved in this one television show got a chance to breathe and you got a chance to understand who he was and how he got there and what all the twists and turns of his life that brought him to the point of Breaking Bad. It was really good and I think it was warranted. Now, twisters, do we need twisters? Why? Because you can make. You can now actually get a cow to spin around like that. I don't know. I don't know why we would have twisters. I just don't know it. So many unoriginal things being shoved down our throats. Bad Boys 4 made a billion dollars at the box office. Bad Boys four. Four. Did we need two, let alone four?

[Chrissy]

No, I didn't. But apparently other people needed it.

[Brian Green]

Yes, and a lot of people needed it. Now listen, I'm not a bad boys hater. If you like bad boys, fine, whatever. I don't give a shit. I'm not a bad boys hater. But the truth is, did we really need it? Do we really need another Star wars movie or Indiana Jones 7? No, I was thinking about that last.

[Chrissy]

One that came out. No, I didn't either.

[Brian Green]

Because I just don't find there's any dignity in de aging Harrison Ford as 20 year old for 2/3 of the movie and then having some if I wanted to. Indiana Jones one fan fucking tastic. Indiana Jones Temple of Doom fan. Fucking incredible. Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade. Pretty fucking good. I can understand that. Then the last two or three or however they made. And listen, I get it. River Phoenix was in one of those movies and we all loved River Phoenix. And he was, you know, I think. Was that his last part or one of his last parts? Indiana Jones, he was in. Yeah, he was in the Last Crusade.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

But then, you know, you get into this territory where it's just like, let's just rehash it for rehashing sake. Let's just make some more money. Let's just push people to go see a movie that really nobody requested. And if I did request it, I'd request the 85 year old version of Harrison Ford. Because that is life. That is what happens. Let him. True, yes. Put him on a tank and let him get chewed up by the tread again. Let's do that and see if he survives this. He's a national treasure. I don't want the guy to get hurt, but at the same time, let's see, let's just see twisters 2. No one ever asked for it. No one. I didn't sit around with my friends and go, you know, they should have made Twisters too.

[Chrissy]

Would have been so good.

[Brian Green]

Man, could they really squeeze that tornado more storyline out of that tornado.

[Chrissy]

So are they doing it like as a sequel to that original one or are they just remaking?

[Brian Green]

Well, as you just pointed out, and unfortunately half the cast is dead, so I don't think they can really, you know, make it a sequel necessarily. I think it's like, oh, there's more tornado, you know what I'm saying? Like, oh, there's still tornadoes and we should make another movie about it. I don't know, I just, I just wish so much of this shit wasn't being shoved down our throats because it's really unoriginal and it points to the lack of creativity in these boardrooms with these people that are making these decisions. Need I even talk about Star Wars? Need I even say the word? Need I even say that there are 17 different movies that are all mixed up in that universe and no one gives a anymore? Because you just absolutely diluted every bit of originality that everyone loved about Star Wars.

[Chrissy]

I know, exactly. Because it was so fun to know that this person is connected to that person that now, I don't know.

[Brian Green]

Hypocrisy.

[Chrissy]

I couldn't tell you that's it was a pilot.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

And now he has a whole sequence of things.

[Brian Green]

Boba Fett had a love child and now that love child has a cousin who one time went to a, you know, a space garage and that's the owner of that space garage had a daughter that ended up being the princess of Yakatomi. And now we all gotta watch seven seasons about it to stay informed. So you can watch the next movie. I don't care.

[Chrissy]

It is very confusing.

[Brian Green]

Yes. You know, you know what's good? Dune. That's what's good. Dune. Dune was a rehash that I can appreciate because the guy who did that movie, the director, d' Urville or whatever his French name is, I can't remember his French name. Whoever did that movie, he really bought an original eye to that whole situation. And he stayed true to the universe from the first Dune and he made the story into what he supposedly is going to have. Three well paced movies. There is not one second of that movie that is not stunning, interesting, action packed. It is beautiful. It is so well done because he brings a creativity and a point of view to it, a perspective to it that, that we didn't see in the first one is very unique. And let's be honest about it, Dune's kind of a niche movie that a lot of us saw when we were kids but didn't care much about as adults. When it came back, I thought, they're doing Dune. Dune. Really? I felt the same way about Twisters, you know, Dune, okay. But when I saw it, shame on me because that fucking movie, those, both those movies are fucking incredible. Maybe some of the best visually stunning movies ever seen. I never thought that about Twister. Well, never said that about.

[Chrissy]

Maybe you should give it a shot, though.

[Brian Green]

You know what? I wouldn't be surprised if Dick Tracy 2 is in the making.

[Chrissy]

Oh yeah.

[Brian Green]

And who's looking for that?

[Chrissy]

They could go on a whole series. You could have another chance to get your collectibles.

[Brian Green]

I could, I could. If I, I wish, I wish I had those collectibles because now I see that an original McDonald's Happy Meal toy, Dick Tracy is going for $12.36. Yeah. But I, I think, I think you get. My point is we're just year after year shoveling shit after shoveling shit after. It just keeps going down our throats. And I think there's only one way. I mean, if a billion dollars has been made on Bad Boys four, obviously I'm wrong. A lot of people wanted bad boys 4. Apparently. When is the next Fast and Furious coming out?

[Chrissy]

Oh, you know.

[Brian Green]

Oh, do. Yeah. Because Vin Diesel and the Rock have made up and now they're all going to be in the movie together again or whatever the situation is. But there's got to be some original, you know, there's got to be some originality in some of these movies. Take a Fucking chance. Do something different. Yeah, you might bomb a few times, but your movie studios, that's what you're supposed to do. Take chances on big creative artistic visions and then if it works, it works. And if it doesn't, you lick your wounds and you live to see another day. Don't tell me you're hurting for money because I know you are not. And I guess that's the point. I don't think this is the, the. I don't think there are not creative ideas out there. I bet there are a million writers with really good fucking ideas for big tentpole movies or universes or whatever it is, and they're not being given a chance. Yeah, yeah, because, well, we know, yes.

[Chrissy]

This is going to pull in a million versus taking the chance.

[Brian Green]

That's right. I really liked your space opera with sex robots. That's a whole thing that I really enjoyed, Mr. Director. However, twisters is what the world is calling for right now. Twisters. Twisters. Now watch, tomorrow we're going to get a car. Agency is going to call us. Do you want the director? You want the actors from Twisters? Well, I would have said yes yesterday.

[Chrissy]

We can't now.

[Brian Green]

But unfortunately for everybody involved, it's not going to sound so great if I do that. I have to tell you, Chrissy, I'm not going to say the movie, but we got invited to go see a movie.

[Chrissy]

Oh, yes.

[Brian Green]

Loosely based on a video game. Yeah, I didn't want to say that. Loosely based on a video game.

[Chrissy]

Okay, well, a lot of things are not based on video games. There you go. That's a whole other genre.

[Brian Green]

That's true. Loosely based on a video game. And I gotta tell you, I was so confused from beginning to end. I didn't know what to do.

[Chrissy]

I felt so bad because I sent you into that alone. Yeah, I couldn't go the day before I was leaving.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And I told people, I'm like, listen, don't ask me to say, like, don't ask me for a review here because. And the funny thing was we got there and it's like a showing and there's just a few of us in the, in the thing and I'm sure it's other vloggers and I don't know, I was just in the. I just walked in the movie theater and sat down.

[Chrissy]

You said there was like an armed guard.

[Brian Green]

There was an armed guard, yes. Sitting right next to me. And they, they give you this whole speech and they tell, you know, the whole spiel and speech. They tell you not to videotape. And you can't tell anybody. And then they say you're. You cannot talk about this until a certain date. It's kind of like a guest we had on recently. Yes, you cannot talk about this to a certain date. And that date happens to be the day that the movie gets released. And I know why they say that. They say that because they're afraid of people giving their real opinion about the movie. Or they would say, share this with everybody you can, because we really want this to be a big hit. It's not original. It's all based loosely on a video game. Never played the video game. I know of it. Never played the video game. It. Yeah, it's loosely based on the video game, but there is no plot to it. Because when's the last time you had a really good plot in a video game? I mean, let's just be honest about it, right? Super Mario Brothers was a better movie. I watched that with my children, and I was like, all right, Super Mario Brothers. Not the best thing in the world, but at least it's watchable. You know what I'm saying?

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. This was not. And it's an example of how creativity has just been shot in the foot when it comes to Hollywood. And I really honestly wish that they would take big chances like they used to. Somebody walked in the boardroom in 1990, whatever, and said, I have a movie that I want to do about people who chase tornadoes. And somebody in that boardroom goes, it's a terrible idea. Let's do it, because maybe it'll work. And it did. You could have left it at that, but it did. It did work. And somebody walked in and said, work again. Yes. Somebody said, I want to blow up the Nakatomi Plaza. And somebody else said, what the is the Nakatomi Plaza? Well, we're gonna have a guy that rescues everybody on Christmas Eve, and it's gonna be a fun bang them up, shoot them up, get, you know, action movie. And they took a chance on that, and they spent big money on that. And they almost did blow up the Nakatomi Plaza. And the truth is, it worked like a charm. And then, of course, Die Hard 5. But, you know, you could. One could be forgiven. One could be forgiven. Anyway, I know no one important listens to this show, but if someone important does listen to the show, take big chances, take big risks. That's what creativity and art is all about. That's why this show is sometimes terrible and mostly terrible and almost always terrible, but sometimes we get it. Right. We take risks. We talk about stuff like this where no one will ever come on our show again. Where every studio head is going to go. Not the commercial break. We heard that episode. All right, let's take a break. We'll be back.

[Promo Announcer]

[Brian Green]

Bye. Oh, I. I love these kind of things. I saw this list on the socials of names that you never knew existed for weird things like what the official terminology is for something.

[Chrissy]

Oh.

[Brian Green]

Want to go through it?

[Chrissy]

Sure.

[Brian Green]

Okay, let's do it. What is this space between your eyebrows called? Do you know?

[Chrissy]

Your forehead?

[Brian Green]

The Glabella.

The Glabella.

[Brian Green]

The Glabella.

[Chrissy]

You've got something on your glabella.

[Brian Green]

I do. It's called more eyebrow. I almost have a union.

[Chrissy]

I've got some hairs.

[Brian Green]

I know, I know I do.

[Chrissy]

No, I'm not telling you that.

[Brian Green]

No, I'm just saying I do.

[Chrissy]

I'm going to start using that.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Tell Jeff. So you got to clean up that Glabella, buddy. Yeah. Be like, what? My. My. My scrundle. Bella, I gotta be honest. We had this kid that we. And I was never a bully because I was bullied, so. And a lot of people were. It's. You know. But I learned how to use comedy to diffuse people. I just learned that two years ago, by the way. But I used. I learned how to use.

[Chrissy]

I always hated to see that.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. But I hated to see it, too. And I have this real soft spot for people who. For anybody who may not fit the bill. Right. And then gets picked on like I was.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, it's a little different.

[Brian Green]

I'd like to think I was that kid. Not always, but I like to think I was that kid who would sometimes go sit with somebody at lunch because I really felt bad that no one was sitting with them for lunch, even if I didn't say anything to him. I'd like sit across the table from them and be like, hey, dude, you know? But there was this kid and he had one single eyebrow. And I mean, one single eyebrow.

[Chrissy]

I've seen that before.

[Brian Green]

Yes. And I couldn't help but think to myself, wow, that is amazeballs. You are in fifth grade and you have one single eyebrow just goes right across your head. And I always thought that was amazing. Kind of like, you know, what are those? You ever seen those old documentaries about the people who had the. Like that monkey man or whatever? The guys who have hair all over their bodies? Oh, like the Werewolf men, the Wolf Men, The Wolfman. Yeah. Okay. Back in the day, maybe. Maybe they just have one big glabella. Maybe that's what's going on. What do you call it? What do you call the smell after it rains?

[Chrissy]

Oh, delightful.

[Brian Green]

The Patrick Richore.

[Chrissy]

What?

[Brian Green]

Yes. Tick rechore. Yes, it's true.

[Chrissy]

I'm telling you, it's on social media. It's true.

[Brian Green]

I looked this up on social media. I googled it on social media. What? And I love that smell after it rains. Especially in the summer. The hot pavement and it just rained. Smells so good.

[Chrissy]

There's something about it.

[Brian Green]

My God, it rained here for the first time.

[Chrissy]

I know.

[Brian Green]

Yesterday I was like, amazing. Now it's gonna rain for the next 26 days. Yeah. The plastic or metallic coating at the end of your shoelaces is called a what? Tip an egglet. And tip.

[Chrissy]

An egglet.

[Brian Green]

It's called an egglet. A G L E T. Egglet. An eaglet.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

When your stomach rumbles, it's called a what?

[Chrissy]

A rumble.

[Brian Green]

A wamble. I got the waffles. If I was with somebody and they'd be like, I got the wambles. I'd be like, yeah, I gotta go. I'm sorry.

[Chrissy]

It's called the wambles.

[Brian Green]

It's called the wambles. The cry of a newborn baby is called what?

[Chrissy]

Shriek.

[Brian Green]

Vegetus. Vegetus. I'm not even kidding you. Vegetus.

[Chrissy]

I have never heard that before.

[Brian Green]

Let's Google this. I want to make sure that I'm not just AI vagitus. Vagitus is the definite. The definition is a newborn baby's first cry. Go figure.

[Chrissy]

So like the very first cry, the very first time it's born?

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

I call. I called that. The sound you will hear for the rest three years. Yeah, I called that. Torture is what I call that. The prongs of a fork are called what?

[Chrissy]

Teens.

[Brian Green]

How did you know that?

[Chrissy]

I just did.

[Brian Green]

You knew what a teen was? Is it teen or tines? Teen. Wow. I didn't. Damn, Chrissy, I did not know one of these things. You got one. I consider that pretty high intelligence. Yeah. What? Do you ever ding? Yeah. I'm gonna take the teen out of your eye. Sorry, I just put my teen in your eye. The sheen of a light that you see when you close your eyes and press your hands on them is called what?

[Chrissy]

Oh, you know, I saw something about this. It's like where it goes rainbowy.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it goes rainbowy like dots and spots and stuff like that.

[Chrissy]

What is the name?

[Brian Green]

It's called a phosphenous. Phosphina Phosphinus. The tiny plastic thing in the middle of a pizza box is called what? I think I. I think this one I knew actually, because I worked at a pizza place. It's called a box tent. I mean, that's not even original. Let's move on.

[Chrissy]

It's not a vagititis.

[Brian Green]

It's not vagititis. Yeah, I think vagititis is different. I think if you have vagititis, you should go see a doctor. The day after tomorrow is called what?

[Chrissy]

The day after tomorrow.

[Brian Green]

It's called the day after tomorrow. As far as I'm concerned.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. Tuesday. A day that ends in Y.

[Brian Green]

That's right. It's called an overmorrow. Over morrow and over over morrow.

[Chrissy]

I'll see you over morrow.

[Brian Green]

See you over morrow. Like it? I'm gonna start saying all these weird words. Yes. Middle Earth.

[Chrissy]

Middle Earth. Speak.

[Brian Green]

I'm in south Middle Earth. Come see me. Your little toe or finger is called the digit. That's what I call my little pinky. No, it's called a minimus. A minimus.

[Chrissy]

Your pinky.

[Brian Green]

Your pinky or your little toe. They're called minutes.

[Chrissy]

They're both pinkies.

[Brian Green]

Or minimize. If you're just talking about one. You're talking about what? The weird cage that holds a cork on a bottle of champagne.

[Chrissy]

Oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

A graphe. It's called a graphe.

[Chrissy]

A graphe.

[Brian Green]

A graphe.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Brian Green]

The na na na and the la la la, which really don't have a meaning in the lyrics of. Of any song are called. I think you should ask.

[Chrissy]

Filler.

[Brian Green]

I'm still alive.

[Chrissy]

Filler.

[Brian Green]

It's called a vocabilis.

[Chrissy]

Vocabulary.

[Brian Green]

A vocabilis. I don't think that's true.

[Chrissy]

Multiple kids have multiple things going on. One of them's crying because she doesn't already. Is upset about tomorrow, and we have to get up super early to make sure that we can shuffle these kids from one place to the other. And so Astrid wakes me up this morning, and you got to understand, our room is basically like being at the bottom of a cruise ship. It's like the engine, the wave machine, the fan, the. Everything's going at the same time. It's really noisy in our rooms, and we like it that way. For whatever reason, we like it that we have an air filter, too, that just keeps on making noise. And so she comes in this morning. She's like, hey, babe. Hey, babe. We gotta leave in, like, an hour. And then she turns off the. The two. Like, two of the noisemakers.

Cursive anymore in school. So, like, I was writing something for. I think it was my nephew, and he was like, I. I can't read the cursive.

[Brian Green]

Why even bother teaching kids how to write anymore? I mean, honestly, they can just talk into their iPhone. Like, it's such a. It's such a renaissance thing to teach kids. And I want my kids to learn how to write. And they're. They are. They're learning how to write. But at the end of the day, I don't know if writing will just be something that some people do in the future. You know what I'm saying?

[Chrissy]

Yeah, that's so true. And now. And that I know cursive, that could be like a, you know, a lost art.
