Welcome back to wshit. This hour of WSHIT news sponsored by Jerry's Pawn Shop and Petting Zoo. At Jerry's, we're making deals while the piggies squeals on a follow up to a follow up story. After newly elected Mayor Slough Bush announced that Tom Beetleberry would be the president of the Crabapple Women's Club, the citizens of the township were outraged. In response, Mayor Sloughbush put out a video further enraging the citizens of Crabapple. He then signed into law buy one, get one mango margaritas at Margarita Chacheritas, causing the township to be further outraged and mostly drunk. In response to the Bogo declaration, the pastor of the Hard Sword of the Lord called the mayor and demanded that he rescind the buy one, get one mango margaritas at Margarita Chachoritas. So if you're following up to this point, everyone is outraged at everyone. Now with the entire township in chaos, Mayor Slawbush has put another pin in the paddle, signing yet another mayoral declaration that Crabapple citizens can only drink two alcoholic beverages per week. As you can imagine, most crab appliance, this crab applian included, are very upset by this current declaration. Our man on the street, Jimmy Peckerwood, caught up with some people on Main street to find out how they felt about being limited to just two alcoholic beverages per week. Here's what one Crab Apple citizen had to say.
Chris Joy Odley
Two drinks a week? Well, that's just not feasible, not in this country. Well, come on, man, two drinks a week. What's that going to do for you? I mean, that doesn't even get you through a day. A reasonable amount if you're, I mean, if you're at home, you should be able to have like four beer. That's just. That ain't. That's just two more. I mean, I'll have six, but four is a fair number.
Jimmy Peckerwood
And in further developing news, many citizens of the township have gathered in protest at Margarita Chachoritas and in a sign of solidarity, are drinking as many alcoholic drinks as they possibly can. With some customers reportedly there for over 36 hours. While the local municipal hospital only reports a few minor injuries. The Crab Apple Pharmacy has seen a run on pregnancy tests. WSHIT will be first on the scene as soon as I get off my shift. We'll be back after this commercial break.

On this episode of the commercial break, fortune favors the bold. Fuck you. It's luck, and luck is a roll of the dice. It's not because you're smarter than the rest of the people around you. Likely you're dumber. The truth is you just blindly walked into a goddamn nut. So sit down and shut up. No one wants to hear it. Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car. Jeff Bezos didn't invent books or the Internet. They got lucky. That's what happened. Fuckers. Okay, maybe Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea for social media, but it wasn't a particularly good idea. You see what it's done? Nothing. Nothing for nobody. Except make Brian angry about Grant Cardone. Fuck you. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green.
Brian Green
This is my dear friend and the.
Chris Joy Odley
Co host of this show, Chris Joy Odley. Best to you, Chris Ash.
Chrissy
And best to you, Brian.
Chris Joy Odley
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us.
Chrissy
Yes, I love that sound.
Chris Joy Odley
Breaking news. The Fire Fest scam continues and I couldn't be more puffed up about it. I am fluffed this morning. I gotta rock harder.
Chrissy
Oh, yeah. The saga continues.
Brian Green
Chrissy alerted me.
Chris Joy Odley
I can't believe I didn't get this on my notifications as I'm paying close attention to the Fyre Fest too, as it falls all apart in so many different ways. But Billy has found yet another dipshit to hang on to his ideas as he has sold the Fyre Fest ip. Whatever that means. I know whatever that means. I don't even. How could.
Rachel
What.
Chris Joy Odley
What is the Fyre Fest ip? A literal, like, flame that someone drew on fiverr. The name Fyre spelled weirdly Firay. The Firay Fest has sold to a guy named Daniel Rauch. Roush. Rauch.
Chrissy
Or Craig.
Chris Joy Odley
Craig Crouch or something. Rauch and the guy, Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator started a true crime streaming channel streaming service that is essentially an app that you can get anyone in the United States of America that knows anything about applications to build you probably for a song and a dance, like a hundred dollars. I mean, these things, they come out of the box. Now you come out of the box, you connect it with the content, you people download it and then you just. This is like Simcoe fm. Simcoe FM bought a program at the time that was pretty expensive. It was like $4,500. We bought a program, we loaded it with all this music and content that we had created, and then it would just run on a schedule. We'd put it on a schedule. It would run on a server out there in the universe and people would connect to it and they'd hook up. It's very simple technology, comparatively speaking, in 2025. So they have essentially gotten some developer in Bangladesh to build them a streaming application. That's true Crime network where they run Chris Hansen's new To Catch a Predator, which is the old To Catch a Predator, just without the professional cameras or a major network. And you pay 399amonth for it. And they've bought Billy's IP and they are starting a brand new streaming music service called V Ray. And for the. For $3.99 in the worst economy in almost 30 years.
Chrissy
Yeah, just that. Another streaming service, you'll have the ability.
Chris Joy Odley
To see music on demand, and then you'll also have nobody. No one's done that before. Spotify, Pandora. What was that title that Jay Z was involved in? Puffy and Jay Z. Yeah, it's still going on. And then. But the. The amazing part about this is. And this is where really where I think this kind of breaks the mold. The part where I get interested in what a leap forward in technology Billy and his partners have created. You'll have the ability to upvote or downvote the music. Putting the upvote. Even if you upvote enough, then that music will be showcased more. It's called analytics.
Chrissy
Ooh, wha bam.
Chris Joy Odley
Wa b. Like Instagram, just much worse without all the actual content. Wha bam.
Chrissy
Is this like MTV's TRL?
Chris Joy Odley
This is yes in app form. No 1, 800 number to call here. You just. No texting, no data rates may apply. This is just 3.99amonth. You get the privilege of putting that right in Billy's pocket. For what reason, I don't know. And I can promise you that what they will do is they will junk up that application by getting a bunch of bots to download it to make it look like there's millions of people on it. This is done pretty often in the app world, in case you didn't know, in all the worlds of streaming and everything is that you get a bunch of bots to essentially attack the app, to pull it down, to use it. Even Facebook and Instagram have both been accused by insiders of Doing this. And I don't doubt it for one second. Clubhouse. All these. All these places, they get fake users and then they open up the accounts and then they get bots to then transact on those accounts to make it look like there's engagement.
Brian Green
And then you get some larger company.
Chris Joy Odley
To come in and buy it. And what happens is the larger company realizes there was no traffic in the first place, correct? Yeah. We just took a $300 million bath. But they never say anything about it.
Brian Green
Because they don't want to look like.
Chris Joy Odley
Idiots to their investors. So this happens all the time. Very rarely do you. Very rarely are you. The commercial break level success where over 15 people are actually downloading you at the same time. This is like, this is pretty well worn territory. It's NFT level scamming is what this is. And what surprised me, quite frankly, is that Billy hasn't had his own NFT. Why Fyre Fest 2 wasn't transacted on the blockchain. He really missed an opportunity to scam a lot more money out of people by not making this into an NFT.
Chrissy
Bitcoin.
Chris Joy Odley
Bitcoin. And the NFTs are. They're just. They're on fire now. They're seeing their way back into our consciousness. I saw over 12 transactions happened yesterday on OpenSea, the NFT open marketplace. I went and looked at NFTs.
Chrissy
You did? After we were talking about it.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, after we were talking about it, I said, okay, I got, you know, and I was really. I was thinking about Fyre Fest and I'm like, why didn't they get into the NFT game? Maybe even they know that the nft. Maybe even Billy understands that the NFT game is too scammy for him. And I went and looked and there are transactions that are happening on that blockchain chain mostly around baseball cards and Pokemon cards. So I guess the new thing to do is collectible.
Chrissy
Yeah, you sell is always the collectible.
Chris Joy Odley
It was always a collectible. Now you just pay extra because you're using the blockchain to transact it. But there's a company out there who's doing. Seems like it's doing pretty well transacting, really like rare baseball cards and Pokemon cards on the blockchain. And then I guess you get to take. I would hope that you get to take physical hold of it. So essentially, when you think about it, all NFTs have become is another PayPal. That's it. That's all it is. It's just another way to send money from One person to another with maybe a little more privacy, but not really privacy. And all of those NFTs, like bored apes and stuff like that, they're just not transacting at any volume. They're still expensive, but they're not transacting at any volume. I saw one bored ape out there for like US$63,000.
Chrissy
Wow.
Chris Joy Odley
And there's a. Like you can bid on stuff. And so there are people that are bidding well below that. Like in the 30s and 40s of thousands of dollars, those things were transacting at millions.
Chrissy
And then what do you do once you have it? Do you just show people, like a piece of art on the wall?
Chris Joy Odley
Instead you're just showing it on your phone.
Chrissy
Showing it on your phone?
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, you show it on your phone. Look at me, I got a drawing of a monkey on my phone. But then that can get you into certain exclusive parties and places. And there's like a boarding. They're actually a board Ape Yacht Club, I believe. I think there's actually a place where.
Chrissy
You can go board Ape Cruise.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, aboard Ape Cruise. Why not? Like to see that cruise? Deodorant, please. Nah. If you're into NFTs, you already got enough trouble. I don't want to beat up on you. You already lost enough money. I don't want to beat up on you. I did see a story on Instagram and I don't know if it's true or not, but it's makes for interesting conversation about a guy in his late 20s who, 12 years ago, so he was a teenager, bought bitcoin and forgot about the bitcoin. How anybody would forget that they bought Bitcoin in 2025, I don't know. So this is what makes me think. I don't know if this story is true, but he bought like 387 Bitcoin back then, and now he just opened up his wallet over the last couple of days. So if you bought 387,000 bitcoin, you'd be a millionaire a couple of times over now. And you probably bought it for, I don't know, $600? Yeah, six. Much less than that, $600. Actually we have a friend or we have a family friend, I think I've spoken about this before, who was an absolute degenerate. I mean, an absolute degenerate from the moment that we met him. But we liked him because we were degenerates too. So all the degenerates kind of hung out with each other, but he even more degenerate if you know what I mean? He was like a couple levels below. Like, even deodorant, please, would be the right way to put it. Like, he was just one of those kids. And I don't think his parents cared about him all that much. So we always kind of felt for him. It was like a special place in our heart. But you never got that close to him because you didn't know exactly what he was up to.
Chrissy
Right.
Chris Joy Odley
He made millions and millions and millions of dollars on bitcoin. He got in on early. He thought this was the best thing in the world. He kept telling people around. Now, I didn't know him at this time, but my one of my bro others did. And he kept telling everybody, you got to buy into this bitcoin. It's going to be huge. It's going to be huge. And everybody ignored him because he was a degenerate of epic proportions. He was like a class a degenerate. He was the kind of guy.
Chrissy
What does this guy know?
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, what does this guy know? He's probably got bodies in the back of his, you know, buried somewhere in his house. Like, what's going on with this guy? Why? What's bitcoin? What's that? Who cares? And he made millions and millions and millions of dollars. Multiple houses around the world. Living high on the hog in Northern California right now. Has like a. Started a weed, like a legal weed business. He was in the illegal weed business and then he went legal with the weed business. And he just does that for fun. And he is retired forever and he is 10 years younger than I am. And so, yeah, so it can happen. It can happen. It just doesn't happen to me. I have, I don't know where I fell off the turnip truck, but if an investment looks good to me, you should run away from it. If Brian says here's a business opportunity I think is really going to work out, you should probably go the opposite direction and you too will be a millionaire.
Chrissy
Buy high, sell low philosophy.
Chris Joy Odley
Buy high, sell low. Look at this piece of real estate. Everything else around it is selling for $100,000. This one's selling for a million. There must be something special about that property. Yep. It's got a stream in the back and there's water. So you can't put a found there's water under the ground, so you can't put a foundation there. So you got to spend an extra $300,000 to put poles in the ground and oops, let's hire the cheap company because they're really good at what they do. And now those poles broke. So let's do it again. It's gonna sell for $6 million. And the real estate agent says 600,000. And he said, meet you in the middle. And she says 600,000. And you say, okay, 600,000. Let's be optimistic, we'll only lose a million dollars on this. And then she says, best and final offer, 326,000. And then you say, get rid of that real estate agent. So the next real estate agent comes in, he says, yeah, we'll sell it for $8 million. Best and final, $237,000 from the same guy who offered you 326,000? Yep. I guess we'll have to take that. That's how, that's how Brian's crash course and real estate. Yeah, we're just talking about how real estate is like the. If you think NFTs is the scammiest business out there, try real estate for a living. That's, I mean not. There are certainly lots of well heeled developers and people in real estate that do very well and they build homes for people. And people seem happy about it, but it is just like such a tough. People seem happy, people seem happy about it. But is anybody really happy about having 500, $600 million in debt to the bank? I mean, I don't know. Anyway, whatever. It's just like the biggest scam ever on earth that let's take something that is really just part of earth and then let's put a value on it and then we'll give it to the bank and then they can, then they can lean on it so they have your balls in a sack for the rest of your life. I mean it's just, and then, and then every step of the way everyone's getting everybody else with a bunch of money. Except for Brian. Except for Brian.
Chrissy
You know, you should have become a coach.
Chris Joy Odley
I should have become a coach. I should have. But even, even I knew that was like where the real scammy people go, you know. I was listening to one of the biggest con artists in the game. My opinion, Grant Cardone. Did you know Grant Cardone is.
Chrissy
Yes, I've heard. Yeah. So he's around for a while.
Chris Joy Odley
He's been around for a very long time. Hit 10x. Anybody who's heard of Grant Cardone will hear 10x, 10x, 10x everything. Oh yeah, 10x. So let me tell you a little story about Grant Cardone. Now, I don't know Grant personally. I was in a Few clubhouse rooms with him. I talked with him briefly for a couple of minutes. But I've never really been on board with Grant Cardone. And there's a lot of people who have sued Grant Cardone. I don't know all the ins and outs of that. I'm not claiming I ever had any interaction with Grant Cardone. So this is legally, I'm not claiming anything about Grant Card Cardone because he is litigious and so I. He's not listening to my show. But I just. Grant Cardone is really like a sketchy son of a bitch. And it's been known, it's widely understood in the real estate business that he is. That's just the way that it is. What, how he got there, I don't know. I'm not making any of those claims. But I knew a guy with, I first met when I got in the, in the real estate business. And this guy was one of those dudes who, he looked very presentable and he appeared to be very smart. That's the first step to scamming everything is you have to appear presentable and then you have to, you know, then you have to talk the talk. And so I remember sitting down with my partner at the time. We're brand newbies in the real estate business. But here's the thing about the real estate business. Everybody who takes a weekend course then thinks they're experts on the business. So all the newbies come in with the attitude that we are. We have been doing this for like 50 years. We don't know nothing. But you have to go in looking like you know something. So here we are in these suits and ties, sitting in a patio next to the Chattahoochee River. It's July, I'm sweating my potatoes off, and there's this guy across and he's giving us a 15 page PowerPoint presentation on an apartment complex, mixed use, that he's going to build somewhere north of Atlanta. It's only going to cost $385 million, but. And he's never personally been involved in a $385 million project. But he knows all the pieces of the puzzle, he knows all the players, he's got the money raised, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This guy goes off and instantaneously, even though I've taken a weekend real estate course and I know better than anybody else in the back of my mind, I know that I don't really know anything, but I know that this is bullshit. How does this guy have $385 million raised. And then why is he, all he needs is a million dollars so he can get the permits. And then it all comes into play. Right? That's it. That's what every scammer ever said. All I need is that one piece of the puzzle and then it all comes rolling. It's like a, it's basically a Nigerian oriole scam.
Chrissy
Yes.
Chris Joy Odley
If I could just borrow $50,000, I could get 100 million out of Nigeria.
Chrissy
And then we'll all give it back. You'll make ten times.
Chris Joy Odley
I'll give you 80% of my hundred million dollars if I could just borrow $7 on an Apple gift card that you buy at Walmart. Don't tell your friends. It's basically how it goes. So this guy, whose name is also Brian. So this guy, he kind of travels around the circle of real estate people we know, and he tries to get, you know, everybody investing in all of these cockamamie things that he claims he's doing. And everybody with any good sense understands that this is, this is just not true. It's way too good to be true. He doesn't have 385 million. I didn't know anybody with. And if he does have $385 million, why is he having trouble raising 50,000? It just doesn't make any sense. So, but he travels in this like real estate circle of human beings.
Chrissy
He looks good and he talks, he.
Chris Joy Odley
Looks good, he talks good. He's always, he's always with a good looking girl, he's shaking hands, he's kissing babies. So, but pretty soon the whispers start and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then pretty soon like people in the business are looking for him because they, he owes them money and like, you know, hey, have you seen this guy? I got to talk to him. He owes me money, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, no, I really don't know. I don't know because I never loaned him any money. So I didn't keep tabs on the guy, but whatever. A year later, he pops up on Instagram and he's making these, and Facebook and he's making these videos from a multimillion dollar mansion in West Palm Beach, Florida. And I mean, he's, I, here's my new house. It's a club. We're turning it into a club. For $10,000 a month, you can be part of my club. I just bought this beautiful property, blah, blah. And everybody is like, well, holy shit, he did it. He figured out a way to actually do Something, this beautiful property in West Palm Beach, Florida. Multimillion dollar spread, right on the beach.
Chrissy
It's being shown on Instagram. It has to be true, right?
Chris Joy Odley
Well, he's doing this for like months. He's making these videos until in the comments section, people start saying that he is not actually. He doesn't actually own the house. He rented it on Airbnb and the owners can't get him out. It's like people are like, posting, you need to leave the house. You know, this is these poor people's house. They're trying. They're not poor people. Yeah, he's squatting inside of the Airbnb, but he's like, you know, responding, this is my house. It's a misunderstanding, blah, blah. It's like this whole fight that. All right, so it's clearly he's scammed somebody and he's getting caught and blah, blah, blah. Eventually he gets evicted from the house. Everybody learns this. Everybody in the circle that we run in learns that he gets evicted from this house in 2020, I think, and like, right in the pandemic. So he goes away for two years. And then all of a sudden, right when we start the show, all of a sudden he pops up again after no one hears from him for years. We thought he might be in jail. We didn't know.
Chrissy
Yeah, yeah, he's gone.
Chris Joy Odley
No one hears from him for years. All of a sudden he pops up. He is part of Grant Cardone's brand new streaming television service, 10X streaming television service. Just like Fire Fest. Just like Free Ray Fest. It's this shitty website that Grant Cardone has where 24 hours a day, scammy real estate guys are teaching scammy real estate techniques.
Chrissy
For 1995.
Chris Joy Odley
For 1995. 1995 plus 1995 shipping and handling, you too can scam your grandma out of her last $50,000. Want to learn how to squat in an Airbnb? Brian Vincent is here to tell you. Oh, sorry, hold on one second, hold on. Cut that last name out. Marco. For 1995 plus 1995, shipping and handling, you too can scam your grandma to the last $15,000 for 1995, plus 1995 shipping and handling. Brian from Atlanta Real estate infamy will teach you how to squat in an Airbnb. Make it so good it's yours. This guy pops up on Grant Cardone's website giving like a daily course on what to do in real estate. Chrissy, if one day, if I didn't think Grant was so fucking litigious I would show you some of these videos which still live on that website to this day, at least, last time I checked a couple months ago. Still live on. I have never heard such mumbo jumbo come out of anybody's mouth in my entire life. It is absolute horse hockey. It is clear that he knows nothing about this. And these are the type of people that Grant Cardone surrounds himself with. This Grant Cardone guy is a real fucking lug nut. A real fucking lug nut. And he's on one of those business channels the other day. They're talking about tariffs, which are just killing everybody in the world, right? They're going to kill the economy worldwide. And they're already doing so, actually. And actually, as we're recording this right now, it seems like Donald Trump is all of a sudden, he's given up on the tariffs. No more tariffs. Don't worry about it. No more tariffs, tariffs. Because he knows that he's tanking the economy and now he's getting nervous. People are privately biting his ear and saying, this isn't about high prices. This is about empty shelves and people are gonna go bananas. You're gonna cause chaos. And so all of a sudden, yesterday, he said, no, no more tariffs. No bad Donald Trump good.
Chrissy
I know I can't even keep up with it all. I mean, I briefly do, but.
Chris Joy Odley
But listen to this. So Grant Cardone is on one of these business channels and he says, all you people out there, all you real estate guys, all you brokers, all you small business, big business people that are complaining about tariffs, you need to shut up and sit down. This isn't about you. This is about Donald Trump taking control of the situation. It's like, oh, okay, this isn't about us. This is about everybody. It just goes to show that Grant Cardone knows shit from Shinola about business. And yet he continues to do it again. Him, Billy McFarlane, Stephen Roush, and now Craig Roush, Bob Jousch, whatever his name is. And now Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. All in the same category of fucking lug nuts that get lifted up into the stream of consciousness as business gurus. When the truth is experts. Experts. When the truth is no one's really an expert on anything. No one really knows shit about anything. We're all stumbling through life blind as a fucking bat, hoping that we get a goddamn nut like a squirrel in a tree. And if we do, we are lucky. Lucky. And we should consider ourselves so. And we should shut up, sit down, and be nice to the people around us. Amen because luck fortunes does not fortune the brave or whatever the fuck you say. Fortune favors the bold. Fuck you. It's luck. And luck is a roll of the dice. It's not because you're smarter than the rest of the people around you. Likely you're dumber. The truth is, you just blindly walked into a goddamn nut. So sit down and shut up. No one wants to hear it. Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car. Jeff Bezos didn't invent books or the Internet. They got lucky. That's what happened. Fuckers. Okay, maybe Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea for social media, but it wasn't a particularly good idea. You see what it's done? Nothing. Nothing for nobody. Except make Brian angry about Grant Cardone. Fuck you. All right, that's out of the system with that. Let's take a break. And when we get back, we're gonna go completely the opposite direction. Yes. I'm gonna tell you about the swing cruise temptations. Oh. Oh. All right.
Chrissy
Talk about lucky.
Chris Joy Odley
We'll hear someone review the cruise when we get back. We get back.

Hey all you cats and kittens out there in the podcast universe, I want to tell you about Rule breakers with Saraya. It's a new podcast from our partners at Odyssey that celebrates the rebels, the risk takers, and the ones who make their own way. It's these people who often change the lives of the people around them and the world at large.
Chris Joy Odley
And while in the the moment it.
Brian Green
May be hard to see the forest through the trees, those rule breakers often define what it means to be a success. Each week, former wrestling superstar Saraya sits down with the boldest voices in sports, entertainment and beyond to talk about breaking barriers, defying expectations and rewriting the rules. They're talking about it all the fights, the failures, and the moments that changed everything. You can follow and listen to Rule breakers with Saraya on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcast. And here here to the rule breakers for keeping life interesting. This episode is sponsored by Discover. If there's one thing we've learned from the entertainment industry, it's just how easy.
Chris Joy Odley
It is to earn a reputation, even.
Brian Green
If it doesn't reflect who you really are. For example, everyone thinks that Discover is a card that isn't widely accepted but in reality, it's accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, 99%. So maybe now you'll think twice before.
Brian Green
Judging a book by its cover. Unless it's celebrity cookbook.
Chris Joy Odley
In that case, judge away.
Brian Green
Based on the February 2024 Nelson Report.
Chris Joy Odley
Learn more at discover.com credit card. Sorry about that. I took my blood pressure medication and I feel better. Yeah, I guess so. I get so worked up that all these idiots just fall upward all the time.
Chrissy
I know. And you probably see more of it.
Chris Joy Odley
I've seen a lot of it.
Chrissy
Feed and stuff, too. Because you were in the business.
Chris Joy Odley
Well, I've seen a lot. I've seen a lot of it personally. And then I see a lot of it just going on, just people just falling up. Complete idiots and scam artists and con artists, and they just keep falling upward into more and more money and more and more fame and more and more riches and, you know, I guess that's the world we live in in 2025. But again, it's. I think it's really more about luck than it is about expertise. Because if you look around at some of these billionaires and millionaires and people who have just, like, kind of come into my. It's like that guy, that degenerate that we knew, yes, he had some forethought to look into bitcoin and say, this could be something down the line, but do you think he really knew when he saw it at that moment that bitcoin is going to be worth a. Of course not. He's a degenerate. He couldn't. He didn't even. Couldn't even. High on acid. Decided that was good. All right. So temptations. I followed this lady who had an interesting couple of reels one time, and she's a sex therapist and sex coach.
Chrissy
Okay.
Chris Joy Odley
And maybe someday we'll get her on. But her most recent reel, or the most recent reel that got served to me, she was on a cruise ship. And the cruise ship, like the promenade, part of the promenade, which is that big galley area in the front of a car in the cruise ship when you walk on, had been totally cleared out. And there were 48 beds with new linens put down on that promenade. And she was talking to the. One of the concierge. And this guy was a man from a different country, I would assume maybe the Philippines or something like that. He had an accent. Cute as a button. Dude was cute as a button. And she was asking, how do you like being the concierge of this Whole setup. And he goes, yeah, it's fine with me, you know, and what do you think about being around a bunch of people who are having sex at the same time? And he said, hey, listen, it's just part of the job. Doesn't bother me one bit. I've seen it on tv. I've done it myself, you know, whatever. Cool. You know, I'm just here to clean up and get your drinks, I guess. And I was shocked. Clean up, clean up and get your drinks is what he said. And I was shocked. I was like, wow. So what this was was essentially a cruise where they had set up 40 plus beds in the same room so that people could fuck and then you could have drinks and someone would come clean up your tasty teeners when you were done, I guess. I don't know. Towel you down. Not sure how that works, but I got fast.
Chrissy
Here's a cool lemon towel.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah. Like one of those hot towels you get at the. What do you call them? The Hibachi Grill or the spa. Yeah. Or the really nice plane flights. Like when you go first class and they bring you a hot towel, here's one for your tea bags. And this just fascinated the shit out of me. Are there really cruises dedicated to just swing? Because you can't do this. Like, I'd be really upset if I went on Royal Caribbean and the Promenade on Tuesday night, like on our sail away day, had a bunch of people just fucking. Yeah. It wouldn't be the. I'm not saying I. I'm not saying I would be against it. I just wanted to be against it if my family was there also.
Chrissy
Of course. Yeah.
Chris Joy Odley
Right. There's. So this clearly had to be.
Chrissy
Well, it makes sense. I mean, there are these, you know, sex parties that people have at clubs and different things. In fact, you were. You went to one time not because you wanted to participate.
Chris Joy Odley
Not because I wanted to participate, but because I was doing a concert next door.
Chrissy
Yes. Jam Land.
Chris Joy Odley
Jam Land Productions was putting on its. Its weekly loss of money for the bar with its shitty jam bands. Occasionally a DJ slipped in there.
Chrissy
And then there's resorts that you can go to, so it makes sense. There's a cruise.
Chris Joy Odley
So Temptations Resort apparently is a swingers resort or a singles resort or whatever you want to call it. Adults only resort. And Temptations has started to put on cruises. They rent an entire cruise ship just like Heather McMahon does did, or the wrestling people do or the bad 90s rock bands. Smash Mouth used to have a cruise. And Jam Cruise is one that's been going on for a long time. That's very popular, sells out every year. And so these cruise ships are up for rent and you can rent them for private occasions, just like you could rent restaurants for a private occasion if you had enough money or enough people to do it. And so twice a year now, Temptations, apparently the resort puts on a cruise where you go down on the Caribbean cruise. It's like a four day sail away. Four day fuck away.
Chrissy
And there's international waters.
Chris Joy Odley
That's right. You hoist a flag. You hoist your sails.
Chrissy
Pineapple flag.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, you hoist your pineapple flag and then you hoist your other flag and you meet some other frisky folks and you get down to it. And so I thought, well, okay, I want to know more about it. I found one or two videos about it. But I understand these people that we're about to review, they also do vlogs from the actual cruise but they don't show any of the juicy parts because of course they can't show any of the juicy parts. There's privacy involved and all that other stuff. But I thought why don't we do an after cruise review and let's hear what's going on there on the cruise ship.
Chrissy
I'd love to.
Chris Joy Odley
Okay. All right, so this is what we're about to listen to. Here we go. Young looking, nice looking couple sitting in front of their couch. Typical vlog type. Type.
Unknown Speaker 1
Typical stuff is all about temptation cruise versus temptation Resort.
Chris Joy Odley
Oh, before we start, she says, let's make sure that we get lifestyle merch.
Chrissy
We got you.
Chris Joy Odley
All right. Okay. We're going to fast forward through their commercial questions about yeah, merch. By the way, we're going to have merch in the 20 on the 12 hours of TCB.
Unknown Speaker 1
Which one would be better for you? And we're going to be talking about the differences between both because they are both very fun but very, very different. If our content helps you out at all and you plan on going to Temptation Cruise or Temptation Resort sometime in the future, we would greatly appreciate if you would use our links to book your vacation right here.
Chrissy
May I mention that the link is the number four. Our play.com travel.
Chris Joy Odley
We'll give them a shout out. Four hourplay.com travel in case you're into that kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker 1
Thingplay.com travel for more information about all the different types of resorts and cruises that there are. And it doesn't cost you anything extra, but it helps us out a ton and we would greatly appreciate.
Rachel
So if you do book the cruise specifically. We do go on all those. And so for all of those we do a few little extra activities. We do a group dinner. We do a group meet and greet. So everyone kind of get to know everybody. We also have a group online so you kind of get to know people before you actually go on the trip. And so there's a few extra little things like that we do. We also give out some love.
Chrissy
You can target your partner.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, you can. Yeah. We have a. We have a. A pre party where we oil each other down. A fluffing party, if you will.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Rachel
And stuff that are personalized. And so if you guys are going to the cruise, you book through us or if you're going really to the resort at all, if you book through our links. It just helps us support us and be able to continue to make content like this. So we really appreciate if you consider it. And we also want to say that we are going to try to compare these and it's not going to be the ignition most extreme deep dive into both. We do have extreme deep dives into the cruises and the no pun intended. And so we'll have those videos linked below. So after you finish this one, if you want to get even more details about maybe some of the night parties or more details about this, make sure to go watch those specific videos because that will help you learn even more. So the first thing we want to announce.
Chris Joy Odley
Well, that was six minutes of commercials. Okay. Are we done now? First of all? Second of all, turn off your air conditioner and get a microphone please. So loud in there that we're really excited about that.
Rachel
We.
Chrissy
That has recently kind of weird music.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, yeah. And lose the music bed. I know I've been accused of playing music beds too much too. But I think I don't wouldn't have it running the entire video is Temptation.
Rachel
Cruise has always just been February and starting in 2025 it is going to be in February and in November.
Chris Joy Odley
So you get double penetration.
Chrissy
That's right.
Rachel
So there's going to be two different sailings, which can help a lot of people out because I know everything. You know, sometimes people can only go.
Chrissy
Nothing like a pre Thanksgiving.
Chris Joy Odley
Nothing like a pre Thanksgiving Dick down Flushing. Oh man. Can you imagine? This guy says sometimes people have trouble taking time off work. If you're into this kind of thing you're taking. Yeah, yeah. You probably own your own business. You don't care you're quitting your job.
Chrissy
Yes.
Rachel
So we want to say that first. So if you are not Aware. So we will be on that one as well. So there's going to be a February and a November sale sailing now. And so yes, we have not been on that one but we have talked to them and it should have a very similar feel to the February one. And so we're really looking forward to the fact that there's going to be two Temptation cruises every single year.
Chris Joy Odley
I'm looking forward to get pounded. By the way, double earrings. I like you, guy. You're going brave with the double earrings and the double necklace.
Chrissy
And double necklace double chains.
Unknown Speaker 1
To talk about the demographic on the cruise, it's more about 40 to 50 with a SKU on each side. You'll see younger people as well and you'll see people who are older as well.
Chris Joy Odley
That is very good. Did you get to you pick up on that? Yes, it's 40 to 50 with a skew on each side. As opposed to what? As. As opposed to.
Unknown Speaker 1
And then at the resort it's a little bit more like 35 to 45. So it does skew a little bit younger at the resort.
Rachel
Temptation as a whole is not technically branded as a swinger resort or a swinger cruise. It is more an adult spring break. One thing we have noticed though is.
Chris Joy Odley
Adult spring break with beds in the promenade and a guy who fluffs you. A guy who cleans up. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Rachel
From the cruises we feel like there is a larger population of swingers or people in the lifestyle on these cruises where the resort seems to be more of a mix. While yes, at the resort there is a lot of people who are swingers, we've also noticed a lot of people that are just going there for an adult friendly vacation.
Chris Joy Odley
We met people you gotta be really into wanting to be around just adults.
Chrissy
Not actually participate in everything, but just be around it.
Chris Joy Odley
I think horny guys in their 30s who want to see a lot of tits probably is what that is. That's just my guess. I don't know. I'm not trying to like brand everybody. Listen. And by the way, I, I am have nothing against the swinger community. God bless you. Have fun, do your thing. But it's just a little funny to me. I think if you're going to Temptations, you're pretty open to a lot of stuff. Yeah.
Rachel
There last time, that said they looked up kid free resorts and that's where they ended up.
Chris Joy Odley
We also saw kid friendly resort.
Chrissy
Well, I mean that's a big difference. I'm gonna have to say. I Just was at an adults only or a kid free resort and it certainly was not swinging.
Chris Joy Odley
When you look up Kid friendly resort or kid Free resort and Temptations is the name of the resort. It's not Sandals. A little more recent sandals is kid Free. Temptations is full of dicks. It's Dick plus. It's either kid free or Dick plus. You figure out which one you want.
Rachel
To go to a lot of bachelor bachelorette type groups there. And so you will notice that there's a lot more singles at the resort and there's also just a lot more.
Chris Joy Odley
People that are not bachelor party.
Chrissy
I mean I think I might be pissed.
Chris Joy Odley
I've got an idea.
Chrissy
Going to a swinger resort for your bachelor party and I'm getting ready to marry you.
Chris Joy Odley
I mean listen one last harage they say right Chrissy?
Chrissy
Yeah. Forget about the strip clubs.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah. I can only resort. What kind of bachelor bachelorette parties are there?
Rachel
They just want an adult friendly vacation where as the cruise this happens too. But a lot of the people that we feel like we do interact with on the cruise are in the swingy lifestyle or at least are away aware of the swinging lifestyle.
Chris Joy Odley
And who's not aware of the swinging lifestyle? Dude. Okay, I get it. You're not like this isn't your full time job to do to do this kind of stuff.
Rachel
But okay, somewhat you know maybe involved in some sort of aspect.
Unknown Speaker 1
The cruise definitely feels more like a lot of couples where the resort is again like he said, more of a mix. You're not going to see bachelor bachelorette parties on the cruise. The cruise there's fewer singles. Like you won't see that that many singles. But at the resort you'll see that there's quite a few. However if you are going to temptational resort when there is a lifestyle takeover there are some that are more geared towards people in the lifestyle.
Chris Joy Odley
Lifestyle takeover. Hashtag 2025. Is this a jam cruise? What is. Why is your dick out? Dude, I came to see Smash Mouth and all I'm seeing is a bunch of squishy penises. Where's Smash Mouth? Third eye blind. That's I was told third. That is a third eye. That is a third eye. I do see that. I see how I got confused on this one style.
Unknown Speaker 1
Those ones will be all people who are in the lifestyle and then 33.
Chris Joy Odley
Penis at Temptations Resorts.
Chrissy
I was just thinking the same thing.
Chris Joy Odley
Maybe I can get the guys back together.
Chrissy
33 Willy.
Chris Joy Odley
Although they've all sworn me off. I can't even get a return phone call anymore.
Chrissy
Really?
Chris Joy Odley
You wonder why those wouldn't be allowed.
Unknown Speaker 1
In at that time since they are taking over the entire resort.
Rachel
So length when it comes to the cruise.
Chris Joy Odley
Length. Let's talk about. Well, we're going right into it. Look on the bottom it says length. The very bottom of the screen in tiny print it says length.
Rachel
The cruises are five nights. It's pretty set and standard. That's one good thing about the resorts. If you like to maybe go for a little weekend, you can go for two or three days. Now these places do normally have a minimum of two night stay, so usually it's at least two nights. But if you wanted to be there for a week or two weeks, I guess however long you want it to be there, you can be there that long. And so that's a good thing to note. One thing that we take into consideration with this is when you go on a cruise, you get on with everybody at the same time, you get off with everybody at the same time. And so you have a chance to make.
Chrissy
That is usually how it works. You're not picking up people along the way.
Chris Joy Odley
I wonder if this is more of a review. It's less of a review and more of a. Aliens came down to earth and wanted to know what a cruise is. So they're letting him know.
Rachel
Connections and you know, people are going to be there for that entire duration.
Chrissy
Whereas at the resort, AKA you're stuck.
Chris Joy Odley
AKA you're stuck. And so is he. Oh no. All the concierge. Bruce. Oh, Bruce.
Rachel
You may meet someone you really love the first night you get there and they're going home the next day. So you're going to see more of a turnover at the resorts because people, people are constantly coming in and out.
Chris Joy Odley
That's Turnover is the key word. I got turned over a couple times. Krissy. Oh, stop it. You meet someone and they leave the next day. I'm pretty sure if you go to one of these places, you're not looking for a long term relationship. If someone leaves the next day, you're just assuming that's part of the game. Right.
Rachel
Something else to take into consideration, which.
Chris Joy Odley
We got to do a podcast. I think of all, you know, we have a lot of ideas about where to go, like, you know, the Juggalos or Jazz festival or Coachella or whatever.
Chrissy
Or really Waymo.
Chris Joy Odley
What's that? Or ride in a Waymo. That's right. Or the Braves stadium, which will never let us in, but we can just pretend like we're official. But I think really where the rubber Meets the road for us. Where the juice. Where the juice is worth the squeeze, so to speak, would be the Temptations Cruise. Not as participants. Yeah. But as observers.
Chrissy
Live from Temptation Cruise.
Chris Joy Odley
Live Temptation Cruise. And then take us to the resort. Can you drop us off at the resort? I'm sure we'll be be sick of the smell of semen by that point, but we can get onto the resort and give an actual review without all the details. Like on a cruise you get on with everybody and you leave with everybody.
Rachel
One of those kind of groupings and meeting people works better for you. And the weekends are definitely going to be the busiest at the resort. So especially Friday, Saturday are going to be the busiest days of the week.
Chris Joy Odley
You don't see.
Chrissy
As are every resort.
Chris Joy Odley
Yes. Okay, so the next chapter is called Size, Length and. You gotta be kidding me. They named the chapters.
Chrissy
They knew what they were doing.
Chris Joy Odley
Length and size.
Unknown Speaker 1
Oh, Onto the size. Temptation Resort.
Chris Joy Odley
He's got a little smirk on his face.
Unknown Speaker 1
He knows is much smaller than the cruise. So there's about 430 rooms at the resort and so. And not all of those are couples rooms. So you could say about what, 800 or. Or so people. 850 people. Whereas on the cruise it can be anywhere from about 2500 people up to about 3000.
Chrissy
Wow, that's a lot.
Chris Joy Odley
Wow, that's a lot of people looking to get hammered in more ways than one.
Unknown Speaker 1
Yeah, maybe 3,500. And that's just going to depend on whichever ship they are using to sail.
Chris Joy Odley
Next time I'm going to Disney Cruise, I'm going to look for a pineapple on the door. You know, a lot of people stick stickers on the door. Mickey stickers, Donald stickers, you know, princess stickers, whatever, whatever. I bet there's some cheeky out there who have like a little pineapple sticker somewhere.
Chrissy
Oh, you gotta look for that even.
Chris Joy Odley
On a Disney cruise.
Unknown Speaker 1
Yeah, that specific cruise. So if you're looking for more people, more variety, the cruise is definitely a better option.
Rachel
But it is good to note that you said yes, it's 800 people at the resort. But since you have turnover, you are going to meet more people. But there is a larger population of people on the cruises. So we are now going to talk about how it's organized.
Chris Joy Odley
One of the. Okay, they left the. They couldn't find a good one for this. Yeah, listen, if I'm into that kind of thing, I probably am feeling like a smaller group of people that I could get to know easier is better. 3500. 3000 seems like a lot of people. It's very overwhelming. Yeah. I'm overwhelmed with all the dicks coming in my direction.
Rachel
Yeah.
Chrissy
Also it's a crapshoot because you don't know, like at least maybe at the resort there is more turnover, there's more options.
Chris Joy Odley
You've got more options if you don't like somebody on the cruise. Yeah. Plus it's 40. It's 40 to 50 with people on each side.
Chrissy
Yeah.
Chris Joy Odley
So, you know, things that is a.
Rachel
Distinct factor between these two is Temptation Resort does not have playrooms. If you're wanting to do, you know, spicy group activities that is going to be in somebody's room and that's really the only option for that as far as the cruise goes. They do have playrooms aboard. And so if you're looking more.
Chris Joy Odley
Geez.
Chrissy
They have separate rooms from your room for. With the playroom.
Chris Joy Odley
Yes. Well, this is just like the sex club that I went to. What's that? Yes, yes. They have different rooms and those rooms have different themes. Like when I went to the sex party, I told you there was a room with multiple mattresses in it. And it was just a lot of people getting dicked down. Right. A lot of. A lot of guy on girl action with some observers doing whatever they were doing. But then there was like a themed room with bondage and then it was another themed room with toys.
Chrissy
Yes.
Chris Joy Odley
Right. Now here's what I'm wondering. Who can we have like some kind of alert system as to which cruise ships were used for this? Right before I decided to get on.
Chrissy
My regular cruise down. And yeah, again, like if, you know.
Chris Joy Odley
The Oasis of the Seas, which is one of those huge Royal Caribbean ships that are very nice and have malls in them and you know, multiple floors of retail and shopping and restaurants and all that. I'm gonna want to know ahead of time. Time if there was. If my restaurant was just used as a jizz factory, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. As a slip. That's a slip inside.
Rachel
For a place that has playrooms, Temptation Cruise is definitely going to be a better option. So the resort has a huge pool. I mean it is massive. And that is generally where people are hanging out. They have a party pool, which is normally where they're doing all the parties. They have the most loud kind of music there.
Chrissy
I'm picturing. Hold on. I'm wondering if the. They have the same alert system as Great Wolf Lodge does. Foreign objects.
Chris Joy Odley
Oh yeah.
Brian Green
The yellow.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah. Yellow alert or brown alert? Brown Town Brown town pool. One brown town pool run. Yeah, you. This is why I. I do not like hot tubs under any circumstances that have been used by anybody else. Except for maybe a private hot tub, but like a friend's house or something like that. That. But now it's got me thinking about the pools. I mean, come on. Like, I hope they. I just hope to God that there is some kind of procedure after these. I don't mind the parties. Go have the parties. Right? That's sounds like a lot of fun for. If you're into that type of thing.
Chrissy
Yeah, for sure.
Chris Joy Odley
Sounds like there's. There's not a lot of places where this can happen. Like, you don't go to a Ruby Tuesdays on a Tuesday and see a dick down room. You just don't. Right.
Chrissy
Also, you just don't go to Ruby Tuesdays.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, you just don't go to. I don't even think they exist anymore. Oh, I gotta tell you about Mix, but I'll tell you about that next episode. But you know, like, we just gotta have some kind of procedure for delousing after this whole thing goes down.
Chrissy
Gotta be.
Chris Joy Odley
Because if there's a. I hate pee, I hate poop, I really hate vomit, but if there's something above that in my mind, it's some other dude's jizz. It's really my own jizz. But then right above that is some other dude's jizz. Do you know what I'm saying? And all that stuff mixed together. We've all. All had a friend who's been at our house, and then you walk into the room and you're like, shit, it smells like jizz in here. You know, they were fucking. You know what I'm saying? Let's be adults about it. There is a distinct smell to sex. And you know it when you smell it. And it's not your own. And you know it when you smell it, and it is your own. So if we're gonna have these like, kind of lifestyle takeovers, can we also have like a cleaning party too? Like somebody goes, yeah, extra deep, extra clean. Pun intended. All right, let's take a break and we'll get back to more of this. I don't know, telling us about how.
Chrissy
Cruise ships work, I guess, how cruises and resorts work.
Chris Joy Odley
That's right.
Chrissy
Just be the weather.

Chris Joy Odley
All right, we're back with the dick and cruise. But real quick, I just wanted to mention that Danny Ricker is going to be was on Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday. So two days ago essentially. So go watch that appearance. Danny was great. We got a lot of great feedback about that. Maybe more feedback than we've had on most interviews on Danny Ricker who is not the most most famous guy we've ever had on the show. I mean, I think he would readily admit that too, but he wrote a book. It's called wow, you look terrible. It's available now on sale, links in the show notes, all that. So I was telling Danny, congratulations on your on your upcoming appearance. This was a couple days ago and he's gonna be on the show with Ben Affleck who obviously is one of the most famous people in the world. His new movie the Accountant too is getting great reviews. And so I actually was one of the only human beings in history that saw the movie Surviving Christmas with Ben Affleck. Oh yeah, you probably don't even. You mean.
Chrissy
I do, actually. I saw it too.
Chris Joy Odley
In the theater.
Chrissy
Not in the theater, but this past Christmas I was looking for things and I saw that I couldn't finish it.
Chris Joy Odley
I couldn't make it through the entire movie. So I told Danny to tell Ben that he owes me $20 refund for surviving Christmas. I shouldn't be hard to find. Cause I was probably the only one who actually saw it in the movie.
Chrissy
It's got a lot of good people in it is the thing. And that's why I thought I'd watch it. It was not good.
Chris Joy Odley
No, it was not good. I think, I think we left about 57 minutes, 47 minutes into the movie. And I haven't walked out of many movies but this one I just had to walk out of. God bless you, Ben. You've made a lot of my favorite movies like, well, okay, whatever. I don't want to get a whole band Affleck conversation. We'll do that on we'll do that next week. Okay. All right, Back to Temptations Cruises and Resorts. We're hearing a review. So far they haven't reviewed much, but okay, we'll see. We'll give it a few more minutes. Minutes here.
Rachel
Resort. They also have a quiet pool. That is where people kind of go if you want to be a little bit more relaxed. It's just a little walk over. It's not far at all. But they kind of have both options.
Chris Joy Odley
Oh, I like a quiet pool.
Chrissy
If you accidentally got on this cruise and you need a break.
Chris Joy Odley
Yes. Head to the quiet for the people who don't scream.
Rachel
The cruises, generally, because it depends on what boat it's on, has a couple main pools and there's normally one. One main pool party area, and then there's some other hot.
Chris Joy Odley
I like how all this footage looks like it's hidden camera footage. They're showing little tiny clips of places where there's no other human being in sight. And it looks literally like they hid a camera in their hat or something. Like it's that kind of footage.
Rachel
Tubs and things.
Chris Joy Odley
Probably because they have an absolutely no filming rule on the cruise. And the. And the resort. I have.
Chrissy
I wonder if they have lifeguards at these pools. Yeah, no running.
Chris Joy Odley
No running, no jumping. Tits are not a flotation device, sir.
Rachel
Spread around that. And then they also have a solarium. Generally, the solarium is the place where normally people will go to be a little bit more quiet. It's not as loud generally. No music in there. So they both offer those things. And then. I know I mentioned hot tubs a little bit. The cruise has hot tubs on the pool deck kind of by the party as well as in the solarium. So you kind of have hot tubs in both areas. And then.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, but where does the fucking happen? That's what I want to know. You're giving a review about a cruise ship. Who cares?
Rachel
And the resort has some hot tubs kind of above the pools. And then there's also a hot tub that's at one of the higher levels.
Chris Joy Odley
You're telling us about the location of hot tubs. I'll realize when I get there. They give me a map. It's okay. Or I have Google just like every other person does. Come on, dude. You got to give us the juicy stuff. Like, you know, if you're looking for rough sex, then, you know the cruise is the better. Head to the. Yeah, head to the dueling piano bar. You can get it from both. Double penetration at the Dueling piano bar.
Chrissy
Yes.
Rachel
That depending on what kind of ticket you have and what kind of room you're in, you're able to go up to that bigger hot tub. They're both pretty similar with the party type feel.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah. Oh, wow. I didn't know you had to buy extra access. What is this Disney World? A lightning lane pass to get. To get to the slip and slide party. That's weird. Weird.
Rachel
They both have main parties at the night time and they have kind of pool parties during the daytime. We'll get a little bit more into details about the parties later. But it's also.
Chris Joy Odley
I don't know that I'm gonna make it to later. You got to give us some more details here, bud. This is. You're not. There's no details here.
Rachel
Good to know that the resort is on the beach. So you're right there. You can just walk right off the resort and you're on a really nice.
Chrissy
Okay, the resort is on the beach.
Chris Joy Odley
The beach resorts on the beach. There's a beach at the beach resort. Congratulations. Oh, and there's yacht parking there. Can you imagine? You pull up, you're like yachting around the world and you pull up the temptations. Some 70 year old dude with a half hard meets you, nice beach.
Rachel
Whereas the crew.
Chris Joy Odley
Oh, that's a pretty looking resort.
Rachel
You are more going, you are stopping at different ports, you're seeing more different places. But it's not necessarily always just on an exact beach.
Chris Joy Odley
So as far as area we know what a cruise is to hang out.
Rachel
During the day, it's going to kind of vary obviously between both. The resort, I would say has. Has less areas to hang out, but still has several areas. People are going to hang out at the pool. You know, you can go to all the restaurants you have.
Chrissy
Should you see him?
Chris Joy Odley
Yes. He gave the peace symbol.
Chrissy
Yeah, yeah.
Rachel
Lobby. You have the hot tubs and you have, you know, little coffee bar type thing, the normal bars. So there is definitely areas to hang out. The cruise is just a larger space. So there is going to be more areas to go around and kind of hang out during the day, daytime. But they both have plenty of options. So if you're wanting to hang out, just have a nice time in the day and you don't want to party. Party, you definitely have options.
Unknown Speaker 1
This question is asked a ton and it's about the clothing optional aspect of.
Chris Joy Odley
Okay, now we're getting into details. We want to know. Let's go. Okay, here we go.
Unknown Speaker 1
Each one resort is topless optional as well as the cruise. However, on the cruise in the solarium areas, they do have places where you can be completely nude. And of course the cruise also has the playrooms where you could be nude in the playrooms. And the resort does not have that.
Chrissy
The way they picked the way that they portrayed the solarium earlier was a quiet place. Was a quiet place, but now it's nude.
Chris Joy Odley
Well, if I'm getting naked, I'm also being quiet, hoping no one notices what's going on down below. If I'm taking off my clothes, everyone's shutting up. They're all going, oh, oh, let's go to the promenade. I think things have turned. Taking a turn for the worst. Barry, get your towel, darling. We're going to the promenade.
Unknown Speaker 1
You do have more options for that clothing optional aspect on the cruise versus the resort. And you can only be topless optional at the pools, at the hot tubs, on the deck, on the cruise. So it's not like you're walking throughout the hotel or throughout the entire cruise. And a ton of people are topless. There are areas where you can be topless and all the other areas you are not allowed to be topless.
Chrissy
Why not?
Chris Joy Odley
Why does it fucking matter?
Chrissy
Exactly. Why does it matter?
Chris Joy Odley
Okay. Restaurants, buffets. I understand.
Chrissy
Yes.
Chris Joy Odley
Okay. Even men and women, everybody. You want to have a shirt on so you don't get boob sweat, flop sweat and pants. You don't want to get nut sweat in the potato salad. Yeah. Oh, God forbid. But if you're walking down the hallway at Temptations and you just got back from the pool where everyone was naked, half naked at least, why does it matter if there's a pair of tits walking down the. The thing, they're just hits. Let them fly. Who cares? But I agree when it comes to food around food, sanitation. But even at the bar, like if you're not serving any food and you're just at the bar, I don't care if someone's nude. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1
Or nude. The cruise.
Chris Joy Odley
I'll tell you, the sex party that I went to, there was no part of the party where clothing was not, not optional. You know what I'm saying?
Chrissy
No, it just makes sense. Let it all be optional.
Chris Joy Odley
Absolutely.
Unknown Speaker 1
And the resort do have different theme nights every single night. The one thing is, at the resort, it's going to be be the same theme nights every day of the week, per week, if that makes sense. So usually throughout the entire year, those themes are going to stay the same, which makes sense because there's people coming in and going out throughout the entire year versus this guy.
Chris Joy Odley
Reminds me of our IT guy when we work together, doesn't he?
Chrissy
Yeah, he does. He does.
Chris Joy Odley
It's always the unassuming one. Yep. Cruise.
Unknown Speaker 1
Since it only sells twice a year, they're able to be a little bit more creative with the themes in that way. And so you have a bit more specific themes on the cruise where people are.
Chrissy
That makes no sense to me.
Chris Joy Odley
No, you only have five nights on the cruise. You have seven nights a week at the resort. So in just mathematically speaking, you're actually able to be more creative with the seven nights than the five nights. So it doesn't make much sense to me.
Chrissy
But okay, saying themes stayed the same each week, but then they change on the cruise. But that's only one week.
Chris Joy Odley
It's only one week a year because you haven't even had. Well, they haven't even had the first November cruise yet. That only happens here in 2025 according to them. So, yeah, that mathematically doesn't make sense.
Unknown Speaker 1
But okay, that's up on theme more so on the cruise than they do at the resort.
Rachel
So next we're going to food. They are very different when it comes to food. Now the one thing that definitely is.
Chris Joy Odley
Very different, I do care about my food. I got to get car blowed before I. Before I got a carb load. Before I carb load. You know what I'm saying, Chrissy?
Rachel
There is a buffet at both of these types of things. They generally have a late night buffet for both and there's a daytime. There's a breakfast buffet. So if you're wanting buffets, you're definitely going to be able to get it. I feel like at Temptation they do a little bit more themed with their buffets. And so you do have your normal buffet.
Chris Joy Odley
Themed buffet. What does that even mean?
Chrissy
Oh, but first he just said they're very different between the resort and the cruise. They both have the same.
Chris Joy Odley
Yes, they're very different, but generally the same every single day.
Rachel
That has your standard items, but they also kind of have a theme, whereas.
Chrissy
The cruises generally just have New Orleans style.
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, New Orleans, Mexican night, Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, edible underwear cuisine.
Chrissy
Yes.
Rachel
With a large array of food every single day.
Chris Joy Odley
Cruises are a bit more accommodating for dietary restrictions. However, there are options at both places if you do have restrictions. Restrictions.
Chrissy
Okay.
Chris Joy Odley
Okay, great. I'm lactose intolerant.
Rachel
So the food is included at both of these because they are all inclusive. But one thing to note is that on the cruises you only have one main Dining room, generally that is included in the price of your ticket. Whereas at the resort, there is a lot of different restaurants that you can go to on the cruise. You go to your sit down dining room that's included. It's more out elevated type food.
Chrissy
Do you dress up in like a tux?
Chris Joy Odley
Yeah, you dress up in a tux with chapless pants. And you walk in, you sit down.
Chrissy
A little bow tie, shirtless with the bow tie.
Chris Joy Odley
And by the way, he's saying the cruise has more elevated type food. And then they are showing a hockey puck of a steak with one potato, waxy green beans and old carrots. Elevated in what way? Like you're up on, like, actually geographically.
Rachel
Most amazing food in the world. But we always really enjoy it. It's really a fun time to go there. But the resorts, they have a lot of really fun options. So they have, you know, an Asian type restaurant. They have a steak restaurant that has a show. They have multiple different restaurants that are all included. So if you're there for three or four days every single night, you could go to a different restaurant, which we always feel like is really fun.
Chrissy
As in every single night on the cruise, it changes.
Unknown Speaker 1
Has a lot of different restaurants too, but they do just cost an additional extra charge. And also at the res, since you're able to.
Chris Joy Odley
This is like the worst review. For the sexiest thing, you're reviewing a swingers club and a like, adult sex cruise and an adult sex resort. If you're doing that, you have got to make it interesting. So far, we've heard about what a cruise is. We already knew what a cruise was. Welcome to earth. People know what cruises are. All right, I'm done with this. You guys have bored me. I'm sorry. Sorry. You've bored the commercial break. That's hard to do. Yes, because we need content. It's okay. I'm sure you mean well. I got it.
Chrissy
Really? Learned much?
Chris Joy Odley
No, you should have planned this out a little bit better. You should have talked about the sex room. You should have talked about your own experiences. Like, hey, we went into the playroom. We met this guy. He tickled my taint. I felt really good about it. Then there was a couple other people whacking each other off in the corner. It was interesting, and that's the kind of thing you can expect. Or we played some sex games on the promenade on Tuesday night. That was a lot of fun.
Chrissy
Hey, I got tied up in the shabari ropes one night.
Chris Joy Odley
Yes. Someone fell overboard playing put themselves on a balcony. I mean something like, you gotta give us the juicy details. Don't tell us about what cruise dining is like. We already know what cruise dining is like. Even people who haven't been on a cruise. Cruise. Yes, yes. The Love Boat was on for 17 seasons. We know everybody goes and eats at the same dining room every night. Okay, we got it. 10, 4. We've all been to an all inclusive resort or heard about them. Yes, we know there are restaurants you eat at. Plenty of them. That's how it works. Okay, well, you're gonna have to sharpen up your travel reviews here, guys, if you're gonna grow that channel, but God bless you, I certainly. No knock on the lifestyle, just a knock on general content. Says everybody who ever watched the commercial break. Hey, guys, you got to make it more interesting. Okay, well, we're throwing good stones in a glass house, but what can you do? All right, couple things I want to remind you of.

Summary of "Someone Check on Bryan!" Episode of The Commercial Break
Release Date: April 25, 2025
Host(s): Bryan Green and Krissy Hoadley
The episode dives deep into the murky waters of modern scams and the illusion of merit-based success. Bryan Green and Krissy Hoadley passionately argue that luck, rather than skill or intelligence, plays a pivotal role in achieving success.
Fortune Favors the Bold: Chris Joy Odley launches into a fiery critique of the adage "fortune favors the bold," asserting, "It's luck, and luck is a roll of the dice. It's not because you're smarter than the rest of the people around you" (05:14). This sentiment underscores the hosts' skepticism toward conventional success narratives.
Fyre Fest and Streaming Scams: The hosts dissect the infamous Fyre Fest scam, highlighting how Billy McFarlane's intellectual property was sold to create a dubious streaming service. Odley sarcastically remarks, "Owner of a streaming application... It's like Simcoe fm" (07:03), emphasizing the ease with which scams can proliferate in the digital age.
NFTs and Real Estate Parallels: A significant portion of the discussion centers on the rise of NFTs and their inherent vulnerabilities to fraud. Krissy notes, "All NFTs have become is another PayPal" (10:48), drawing parallels between NFT scams and traditional real estate frauds. They critique the superficial allure of NFTs, stating, "They're just another way to send money from one person to another with maybe a little more privacy, but not really privacy" (11:32).
Bitcoin Anecdote: Sharing an anecdote about a degenerate who made millions from Bitcoin by sheer luck, Odley muses, "He made millions and millions and millions of dollars on Bitcoin. He got in on early. He thought this was the best thing in the world" (15:17). This story reinforces their overarching theme that success often hinges more on chance than expertise.
Transitioning from scams to leisure, the hosts embark on a detailed yet humorously critical review of the Temptations Cruise and Resort, both catering to an adult, swinger-oriented clientele.
Differences Between Cruise and Resort: The duo outlines the primary distinctions, noting that the cruise accommodates approximately 2,500 to 3,000 passengers (50:35) compared to the resort's 800-850 guests (50:22). They humorously question the practicality of extensive onboard activities, stating, "You're telling us about the location of hot tubs. I'll realize when I get there" (61:06).
Facilities and Amenities: Discussions cover various amenities such as themed parties, playrooms, and multiple pools. Krissy highlights, "Temptations as a whole is not technically branded as a swinger resort or a swinger cruise. It is more an adult spring break" (43:24), clarifying the resort's positioning.
Clothing Optional Policies: A notable part of the review touches on the clothing-optional policies. They point out that while both the cruise and resort allow toplessness in designated areas, the cruise offers complete nudity in certain sections like the solarium and playrooms (64:15).
Humorous Critiques: Throughout the review, the hosts inject humor and frustration over the lack of "juicy" content. Odley expresses exasperation, "Do you care about rough sex? Then the cruise is the better option. But you're telling us about the location of hot tubs. I'll realize when I get there" (61:06).
Beyond the central themes, the episode includes various side conversations and mentions:
Danny Ricker on Jimmy Kimmel: The hosts celebrate Danny Ricker's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, praising his performance and promoting his book, "Wow, You Look Terrible" (58:02).
Upcoming Content and Promotions: They hint at future episodes, including a "12 Hours of TCB" event celebrating five years of the podcast and encourage listeners to engage via text or social media for participation and feedback.
Chris Joy Odley:
Krissy Hoadley:
Chris Joy Odley on NFTs:
"Someone Check on Bryan!" is a whirlwind of candid conversations, blending humor with sharp critiques of societal trends and scams. Bryan Green and Krissy Hoadley, alongside co-host Chris Joy Odley, offer listeners an unfiltered look into their perspectives on luck vs. merit in success, the proliferation of scams in the digital age, and a tongue-in-cheek review of adult-themed leisure options. The episode maintains The Commercial Break's signature chaotic and irreverent charm, making it an engaging listen for those navigating the blend of comedy and candid discourse.
