Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah Kwanzaa, Festivus for the rest of us. You know, all the things, they're all tropes. I could say them all, but we would be here for a day. It's your old friend Brian and merry Christmas a week later. It's actually now New Year's Eve. I realized last week that our Wednesday episode, the Christmas Eve episode did not go out the door due to technical difficulties. And while that's the first time that has happened in almost six years of doing the show, if it was going to happen, Christmas Eve was going to be the day. That's just how we roll here at TCB as we move into our new schedule of Mondays and Wednesdays releasing episodes. I didn't put out the Wednesday episode. I tried, but it didn't go out the door. Anyway, so I'm going to run the episode I was going to run last Wednesday, which is Christmas Eve episode from the 12 Days of TCB. You remember that way back a year ago, Christina was here with us. So you're gonna hear Christina's voice. I hope you enjoy it. And then I will be back on Friday to bring you another TCB classic on the New Year's Eve episode from the 12 days of TCB. And just know that I love you very much and I can't wait to get back to live action next Tuesday Right here from this studio, YouTube.com the commercial break on Twitch and on kick. Until then, my friends, my fine feathered friends, I hope you take 25 and put it in the trash and I Hope you kick 26 directly in the potatoes. See you January 6th on YouTube.com the commercial break for Live TCB.

Christmas Chip is basically a Christmas dinner all in one. So it's your turkey, your ham, your stuffing, your cocktail sausages on your chips with gravy. People can have cranberry if they wish, but the majority don't. Some people switch it up a wee bit and go for peppered sauce rather than the gravy. But the gravy is the most popular.
Brian Green
The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Yeah, dancers and prancers, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the you a log to my dreidel, Kristen Joy Hoadly. Best you, Chrissy.

Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
It's a snowflake.
Brian Green
It's a Christmas Eve rave.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
It is a Christmas Eve rave.
Brian Green
It's a Christmas Eve Rave.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Yay.
Brian Green
When I worked in the restaurant industry, I loved Christmas Eve because I knew I was going to get shit faced. That's right. It was a favorite tradition of the people who work in the industry who had to work on Christmas Eve was to party very hard on Christmas Eve.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah.
Brian Green
Yes. I partied so hard one time I spent spent Christmas Eve in jail. Oh, Merry Christmas to Brian.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Was that the jail night?
Brian Green
It was one of the jail nights. Yes. It was one of the jail nights. I had to beg my dad to come get me. I actually got arrested on the 23rd and then was well into the Christmas Eve when my dad decided to bail me out. That's like 5:00pm Merry Christmas here, dad. Yeah. I went straight from jail to the family function.
Frank Bernardo
Yeah.
Brian Green
Which I got no presents. Ah, thanks Dad. I appreciate it. Merry Christmas Eve everybody. I hope you're doing well. Thanks for joining us. We're on the last couple days here of the 12 days of TCB. But fret not because I think there's six more episodes after the 12 days of TCB and we'll get them to you. Unbelievably, we'll get them to you. I think we have some guests lined up for that in between space that, that, that space where you're just a little bit depressed to that Christmas is over but you're very thankful because you have a couple more days off of work. Yeah.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
And on the way.
Brian Green
Not us. We'll continue to work for you. Congratulations to you. So I hope you're doing well on this Christmas Eve. A lot of people have been writing in saying how wonderful it is to have 12 days of TCB. They're so excited. Thank you for writing. Thank you for listening, quite frankly. That's really nice. I think the intended, intended effect has happened and that is that people are tuning into the 12 days of TCB. So who knows, Maybe we'll do it next year if we're still alive and kicking. If this year hasn't killed us. Maybe we'll do it next year.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Maybe what we can do next year if we do do this, is just record an extra episode. One, one a month, one a month.
Brian Green
And then we'll have the 12 days of TCV. Well, there you go. It's. I think we'll be a little ahead of ourselves. We'll be in shorts recording the 12 days of TCV. Hey, listen, what do you do? What is the bigger day to you? Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Growing up, it was always Christmas Eve.
Brian Green
It was.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Well, yeah, we did a big holiday Dinner with family, and everybody got together and exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve.
Brian Green
So your Christmas Eve gift exchangers. Okay.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
But Christmas Day then was for Santa.
Brian Green
Wow, you guys are wild. You have two full days of Christmas giving. You know what, actually that's how it was in my family too, is that we would go to my grandmother on my mom's side would, where I have, like 32 cousins, many aunts and uncles that go along with those cousins that had those cousins. And then they would all get together for a huge spread. Couple hours of gift giving, laughing, joking. Yes. Christmas Eve, my uncle making slightly racist jokes. You know, stuff like that.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh, yeah, the big family get together.
Brian Green
That's right. How is it done over there in Scotland? Christina, Is Christmas Eve the big day?
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Well, not in my house.
Brian Green
No.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
No. I mean, we have a good Christmas Eve. It's. It's like we just go over and have some sausage rolls at someone's house and it's just a nice day. But all of our gift receiving and giving goes on on Christmas day. And we have a massive Christmas dinner with the three, like, expat families.
Brian Green
Okay.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
So we have, like two British families and a Canadian family that we do our Christmas Day with.
Brian Green
How many people in total come to that?
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Yeah, like 20.
Brian Green
20 people. That's nice. Yeah, that nice.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
It's really fun.
Brian Green
I used to always love that get together at my grandmother's house because there were so many people there that I could kind of hide out. Right. I could kind of do my own thing. My parents weren't up in my ass. Yeah. And my grandparents were getting drunk. Yeah. My grandmother and my grandfather had this loft, like, you know, that overlooked the living room. But then there was like this little room off to the side, so you could go up the stairs and then you could look down on the crowd in the loft. And that's where all the kids would be at the railing looking down on it. But then my grandpa had this TV that you would, you know, watch. You could watch stuff on. So I remember that when my grandpa eventually got cable up there, one of my older cousins had figured out that you could do the squiggly line. See a tit thing on, like, the pay per view channels. Yes. So then that became a running, you know, theme.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
You know, I just race upstairs, race.
Brian Green
Upstairs to see the squiggly tits. Squiggly tits on Christmas Eve? Who doesn't want squiggly tits on Christmas Eve? But I remember thinking to myself the first time that that happened, that Santa wasn't going to Come. Because I was being bad. That's right. Because I was being naughty. Little did I know I could be much, much worse and still receive gifts. But not on the time I went to jail. Yanked those presents away from me. I think he literally yanked. I think he decided your present is out of jail. Well, I mean, listen, I'm just a boy on a mission to get french fries. Hitting somebody in the middle of the street in downtown Atlanta.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Time.
Brian Green
It was that time. Yeah. Yeah.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Was your bail.
Brian Green
I don't think it was that much. I think it was like probably $1,000. You know, they. They ended up charging me with a DUI because they. They threw the book at me because I. It was the 23rd, it was 3 o' clock in the morning, and there was absolutely nothing else going on on Ponce de Leon in Atlanta, except everything goes on in Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, 24 hours a day, except for white boy. Dr. Pattern, you know, looking for. Looking for. I was looking for French fries is what I was looking for.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I thought you said it was weed.
Brian Green
No, I had gone to the. I had been high and I was going. I needed French fries. Yes. But the funny thing was, is I had been asleep. Like, I was asleep. The TV was on. I woke up, saw a commercial for McDonald's, like the Christmas milkshake and the french fries. And I. I knew that the McDonald's is open 24 hours a day. Popped in the car, go down the street, take a left at a light. The light turns green. I go to take a left at the light, and when I take a left, someone just is right in front of me. They're right there. And boom, they came up on my mirror is what happened. They broke the mirror off, but then somebody else was running behind that person. So I can only assume they were chasing each other down the street, probably for crack or something, you know, something more important. But they never found him, so. They never found him. There's no blood. So I think we can all make the assumption that. I hope they're still alive. I'm really sorry if that was you. I really apologize. But anyway, that was my Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve was always the bigger deal in my household. And I think we continue that tradition now because you. Yeah, I do. Because there's something like. I feel like Christmas Day, the steam gets taken out a little bit after the morning presents are open. It feels like, okay, now I have to get used to the fact that it's not the holiday season anymore. Christmas is over. I know I'm depressing everybody right before on Christmas Day, I was going to.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Say, that's when you break out the mimosas, like holiday spirit going, you do.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
A big breakfast and a breakfast casserole and do the mimosas.
Brian Green
We do do the breakfast this year. We'll have the Grandma and grandpa will be over to do the Santa Claus presents with us. So I feel like it'll be a really special, probably elongated Christmas, but everyone comes over on Christmas Eve, and then Christmas Day, we invite everybody over. They all say they're coming over, but they all. No one ever makes it over. And I can only imagine it's because Christmas mimosas. Right?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Exactly.
Brian Green
So Since I have 12 to 15 children, you guys do Christmas mimosas for me. Because if I start getting drunk on Christmas Day, forget about it.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah. When you're a dad, the Christmas Eve.
Brian Green
Anymore for us now it's Christmas Day. Now you've turned it into Christmas Day.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Turned into Christmas Day, yeah. Because there's no Santa anymore.
Brian Green
Oh, that's true.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
So now my mom still writes that presents are from Santa.
Brian Green
It's cute. My mom still does that, too. Jean jackets and all. Jean jackets and pizza pockets. My mom still writes from Santa. Pizza Hut delivered.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I went home and had a pizza that night.
Brian Green
I know. You told me. You called and told me. It did make me hungry. It did make me hungry. Hungry for pizza. But I know we're gonna have pizza if I just wait another day. Yeah. I swear to God, there's so much pizza. The other day, the funniest thing is we recorded that. And then a day later, my twin brother comes over, getting kicked out of his house. And he comes over and I say, hey, listen, I'll order some pizza for the kids and then we can all have some. So my wife goes to order pizza, and one of my kids who is just fascinated by pizza, like, everything is pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza. He gets into the pizza companies he wants. He has favorites. He knows which one is which one is bad. He ordered the triple decker pizza box from Pizza Hut, which is three pizzas stuck in a box this big in a holiday box. It looks like it's gift wrapped. And so it came to the door. I had no idea. And the guy takes out, you know, out of that bag, he takes out this huge wrapped present. And I was like, what is this? And he goes, it's the triple decker pizza, sir. And I'm like, the triple decker pizza? Is that a sexual position? What are we doing here? You're wrapping pizzas now? It was festive, but, you know, it was still Pizza Hut at the end of the day. Listen, Pizza Hut's not the worst of the worst.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
It's not the worst of the worst. Which have. Which has your children identified as the worst?
Brian Green
I don't think we get very much into Domino's. Little Caesars is good, but they don't deliver.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Their cheesy bread is good.
Brian Green
Yeah, but Little Caesars is good value.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
They don't deliver, though.
Brian Green
They don't deliver. So you gotta go.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
They don't even like doordash it.
Brian Green
Or they might, they might. But I. Yeah, they might. But I tell you what, there's one Little Caesars around us and it's like, you know, 15, 10, 15 minute drive away. And you go there, and it does not fucking matter what time of day or night you go there. There is a line at that Little Caesars because it's pizza. Pizza, right? Am I making everybody hungry on Christmas Eve? Yeah, here we go talking about pizza for the second time on the 12 days of TCP. But that little Caesars is really good. And I used to work at a Little Caesars. It was one of my first jobs. Yeah. The time that the manager showed me his gun and a pound of weed, it was fun times in the bucolic town of east Cobb, Atlanta, where the manager to the Little Caesars traveled around with a gun and a pound of weed. It was unbelievable.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Is that before or after McDonald's?
Brian Green
That was after McDonald's. After McDonald's. I was now venturing into, you know, more shady kinds of restaurants.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
You were working your way up. Listen, that Little Caesar's, you're fine dining in cocaine.
Brian Green
I was, yeah. Fine dining in cocaine. I just had to get. I had to get some weed from the Little Caesars guy first. You know, the weed is the gateway drug. And when a guy sticks a gun in your face and tells you to roll a spliff, you do it. But that Little Caesars, I was so terrible at making pizzas. That. And this guy was such a. He had. He was a former military guy. Now selling weed and carrying guns is a former military guy who was very diligent about everything. You know, one ladle of sauce, don't put too many pepperonis. That's not enough cheese. More cheese, less cheese. You know, you're ruining the dough. The dough we used to make every day. And then you'd put it in. You measure it, weigh it, put it in a ball. I couldn't even get that right. He had to throw away so many fucking pizzas because of me. That eventually he just sat me down and he was like, you are not a good pizza employee. Yeah.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
You're not working.
Brian Green
Yes. So he said, you can either work the register or I'm sorry, I'm going to have to let you go. And I worked the register probably for about a week before I decided that was the worst job in the world too. Because when pizza, when people want pizza pizza, they want pizza pizza now. And they're not, they're not, they're not going to take in the no for an answer. So anyway, I hope you're not having Little Caesars for Christmas Eve, but if you are, it's not the worst thing in the world.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
It's not.
Brian Green
But Domino's has become the least favorite in the household. I think they changed their recipe about 10 years ago and something happened. You and I used to that Domino's is on. Speed dive.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah, exactly.
Brian Green
Speed dive.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Pepperoni and black olives.
Brian Green
Pepperoni, black olives. Get it to us now. Yes, Mr. Green and Mrs. Hoadley will be right over. You know, we'd give a $30 tip because we were too drunk to note any different. And that happens six times a week. Honestly, let's be real about it. Six times a week. So anyway, it's Christmas Eve. We just are have been in love with the 12 days of TCB. Apparently you have too. I actually think this has been a lot of fun.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
It has.
Brian Green
It's given us purpose and direction and content ideas. Purpose direction and content ideas.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Something like that.
Brian Green
Yeah. And it's almost over. To end this long, exciting journey that we've had. Reviewing all of our content favorites, ideas, events, stories that we've talked about, there is one that continues to reign supreme. Among all content related events that happen here on tcb, there is one. One leather faced, strap backed turtleneck wearing cheap knockoff Rolex having man that always takes the cake. And his name of course is Frankie B. I'm from Chicago. Now this has been the year when we have done the least amount of Frankie B. If you remember season one, we started to get into him. Season two was basically Frankie B. The entire for all Frankie B. All the time. And he was pumping out videos and we could not wait to get another one. Season three, we made a decision. We were going to not do Frankie B. Anymore. That lasted for about a month but we chilled out on it.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
The people demanded it, people wanted it.
Brian Green
Season four, we went back to Frankie B. A little bit. We. I'd say probably once every other month we did it. In season five, we have done remarkably few Frankie B. Videos. I think maybe three the entire year. And we've done more episodes this year than we ever had before. So I have been waiting and waiting and waiting patiently saving two video. Now. Frankie B. Has stopped posting a long time.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I was going to say. And we figured when this happens, he has a girlfriend.
Brian Green
He has a girlfriend. And I think you're right.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
His girlfriend makes him stop with all the crazy posting. Then the girlfriend and him break up. And that's when he really pumps the content out.
Brian Green
The Frankie B's YouTube channel is a like, I guess it's basically, it's a needle right into the vein of whoever he has dated or divorced last. Right. He is desperately hoping that someone that he has recently been with sees the content that he's making because it's so obviously personal. And he says things that are so obviously personal, like smoking crack cocaine. Like the time he did a whole series on dating a party girl and it was obvious that he had been dating a party girl. Because slowly but surely he started to tell the story about how he was dating a party girl or the divorce at the beginning, when he got the divorce. Listen. No, no. Of all of the paws that we do, and I do consider Frankie a pickup artist because he's teaching men how to get women. Of all the paws out there, he is the one that's nearest and dearest to my heart. He's a kind of a softy.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
He was our first.
Brian Green
He was our first. Never forget your first. Never forget your first Frankie B. Pounding. Never forget your first slicked back hair, turtleneck wearing pinky finger. Who wears a pinky ring anymore? Frankie, let's be honest about it. But Frankie has had some videos that we amazingly have not done.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I cannot believe it.
Brian Green
I realized this a couple of months ago and I said, I'm going to save this for the end of the year. And so to round out the 12 days of TCB, you not have one. You have two days of Frankie B. Coming your way. Two videos we have not reviewed in the past. And we're going to get started with those. But first, I want to remind you over the last couple of weeks that we've been here with you on the 12 days of TCB. We've talked about a lot of different charities. We talked about four of them. It's been so important to us because this time of year is when these charities who are doing a lot of good in a lot of people's lives, when they collect the most amount of money, just like everything else in the world. All of it happens in the last two months of the year. November, December, the holiday time. We spend the most amount of money, we give the most amount of money. The most amount of money exchanges hands at the last two months of the year. And it's so important for these charities. And some of these people are doing real heroes work, like God's work. And so if you would, please, we're going to put all four. We're going to list all four of those charities in the show notes. If you would please go pick one of those charities. Give five dollars, give a dollar, get 50 cents. Doesn't matter. Every dollar counts. If you want to, you can share with us which one that you donated to or which ones you donated to. Send us a screenshot of that donation and we'll be happy to send you some free swag. We have nothing to do with these charities. We have not talked to them. They have no idea we're doing this. We have no idea we're doing this. We have no idea what we not like that.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
We're.
Brian Green
They probably don't like that we're talking about them. Yeah, but the links on the show notes go directly to their websites where they collect money on their behalf. It has nothing to do with us. We don't touch the money. We just thought it was a good thing to do to give back at the end of the year to hopefully brighten somebody's lives. And these are causes that are near and dear to our heart. Chrissy had the National Breast cancer coalition fund, St. Jude's ASPCA. And then there was one more. We'll put them all. We'll list them all on the show notes in these next two days. So if you think about it, right before the end of the year, you want to give a few bucks, that would be fantastic. So why don't we do this on this Christmas Eve? Keeping you company, keeping you warm and cheery and bright with our talk of pizza and Brian's potatoes. We are going to take a break and when we get back, we'll do some Frankie B.

This episode is brought to you by McAfee. I got a message that our flight.
Brian Green
Was canceled, but they can put us on another flight and we just need to confirm our credit card info.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Wait, I got a security alert from McAfee. It flagged that message as a scam.

Brian Green
All right, we're back. And Chrissy, no man in the TCB history has quite got our goad like Frankie B. Frank Bernardo. He's a content creator out of the greater Chicagoland area. He's a master of all things fitness, fashion, fun and grooming. And here he is again, looking his best with his black turtleneck on, his pinky fingering slick back hair standing in front of his fresh follicles. Fresh follicles. Frankie Bees follicles standing in front of the silk screen that he got from the JCPenney family photograph. Bankruptcy sale.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah, portraits.
Brian Green
Yeah, from the portraits from the 80s. You know he did. You know he did.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh, yeah.
Brian Green
And who has one of those just hanging around, by the way? Honestly, who has one of those? I mean, just do it in your house. Who fucking care? Do you think he sets us up at his house or his studio?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I think he's got some kind of little studio.
Brian Green
You think he does? Well, we've seen his. And we've seen his salon Sui. His salon suite is no bigger than this room. The entire salon.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
And we also saw an apartment one time when he was showing us his cooking.
Brian Green
Yes.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Methods.
Brian Green
Where he like fake fruit in a bowl. Yeah.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
We think it was a model apartment.
Brian Green
I think it was the model apartment. He had given some girls downstairs to let the leasing officers to let him use it. So Frankie B. As we had meant as, as we mentioned, he has stopped creating new content at least over the last six to 12 months. And we've done a few of his videos this year for that reason. But, but Chrissy, we are six inches from gold on this because we dropped some nuggets on the floor. We had done one video, I think, back in season number four about dating traps with Frankie B. And he created two more videos. I just don't think we ever got around to them. At least I don't think so. You know, we've done so much Frankie B. It's very possible we've done one of these videos, but I don't think so. So here we are at the end of the year. I saved these in my pocket just for these purposes. And so let's do this. Let's review. We're going to go backwards here. We're going to start at number three and then we'll go to number two for Christmas day because that's just the way that I want to do it. These are day Frankie B's dating traps and how to avoid them.

Brian Green
Before I make a point, right? I want to make no point whatsoever. A. Yeah. B, three. He's like Clark Griswold number one and.
Frank Bernardo
B, no talking about in this video. It's not something that I was reading in the book. These are actual dating experiences.
Brian Green
And you don't.
Frank Bernardo
Unfortunately, I'm still on the dating scene. And you know I did have a.
Brian Green
Unfortunately, no you lucky lady has knocked me down yet, Chrissy. But I am just waiting relationship and it ended again.
Frank Bernardo
So. So what? Back on the wagon, Back out there.
Brian Green
Chris, you are so right about this. He just said it. I was dating. I went back to it, it didn't work out. Now I'm back on the wagon. Back on the wagon.
Frank Bernardo
A lot of people out there go, ah, dating. Who needs that?
Brian Green
Listen, you're all needs sex. Who needs companionship? A lot of people out there say people aren't for me full of bs.
Frank Bernardo
Okay, you know anyone who says that you'd rather be alone. A lot of women say that. Oh, I'd rather be alone. I don't.
Brian Green
A lot of ladies with their breasts say that. Ah, all their period stuff. I'd rather be alone. Frankie, come on, man, eat a man.
Frank Bernardo
They're awful of. Okay, they do need a man. The problem with them is they can't get a man. That's why they, they talk like that.
Brian Green
The problem with them is they can't handle a man.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh my God.
Brian Green
They see the little red rocket come out and all of a sudden they're scared. I pop a couple extra Viagra, I'm half hard and ready to go and they say I'm out ski. Well, let me tell you something. You need this man. Look at all the things I can do. I'm a content creator, a lifestyle guy.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I have over, I play golf.
Brian Green
I have over five locations of my salon Suisse paying me jack every month. You know what kind of rent I bring in? $60 per. That's right. You can't get a guy like me, Rocket.
Frank Bernardo
You run into a woman right off the bat that starts chirping that they don't need a man, they're fine.
Brian Green
I'd like to remind all the ladies out there, welcome to my video.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I hope you're having a lovely day.
Brian Green
I hope you're having a great day. You won't be here long. Yeah, for life.
Frank Bernardo
Guess what? I would run because that's already showing attitude and that's dating trap number one.
Brian Green
Dating trap number one. A woman who talks that attitude. If you catch attitude. If you catch words from a bit, you'd say I'm out of here. I don't need all of that. Yeah, yeah. I can Hear that on espn. I don't need you dating trap number two.
Frank Bernardo
When you're having a conversation.
Brian Green
Horns.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah.
Brian Green
Dating trap number two. I poke your eyes out.
Frank Bernardo
Hey, girl, before your date, you're gonna definitely talk a few times. And one of the big questions is, how long have you been divorced? I asked that. The women ask me that.
Brian Green
And the first question.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Which time?
Brian Green
How many times have you been divorced? As if it even matters. I mean, I'm so annoyed with all the questions. Yeah. Who fucking cares?
Frank Bernardo
This is funny.
Brian Green
There's.
Frank Bernardo
There's the story that's gonna unfold here. So bear with it here.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Okay?
Brian Green
We're barren. We're barren. As much as we can. Frankie, bring it home, baby. Tell us that story.
Frank Bernardo
So I asked this one woman and.
Brian Green
Come on, kids, gather round. The Frankie Bee hear a little story about that one time he got ghost.
Frank Bernardo
And she says, I've been divorced five years. The biggest mistake I made was not asking her how many times she was married. Okay? I asked her how long she was divorced. Okay? Big mistake. We're gonna get to that story shortly.
Brian Green
Here. Oh, a cliffhanger.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I know. He's stringing us along.
Brian Green
Who knew he was a storyteller? Wow, he is the George Carlin of pickup artists here. I'm fascinated. All right, let me guess. She's divorced more than once. Is that the end of the story? Okay, I'll. I'll do it for you. How's that?
Frank Bernardo
We go out on a date. We're at the restaurant, and then again in conversation, the divorce thing came up. She looks at me and she goes, I got something to say to you.
Brian Green
I got something to say to you.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Frank.
Brian Green
I happen to be a Max murderer.
Frank Bernardo
I go, what?
Brian Green
What? I knew it. You woman. I knew you women can't be trusted. What? She.
Frank Bernardo
Oh, three times. La quinta, por favor. You know what?
Brian Green
That queen style, poor fable rape. Frankie, Frankie. When you get into your advanced age, you can't expect that everyone's going to be on divorce number one. I promise you, you aren't on divorce number one. Thousand bucks. At least two. At least two means.
Frank Bernardo
That means check, please.
Brian Green
Yeah, Frankie, we got it. I think all of us speak enough.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
He thought he ate with that one.
Brian Green
Mic drop up. They're gonna be hitting me up in the comments section. I'm as good as laid.
Frank Bernardo
I almost had a heart attack dating trap number two. Before you get out on that date, ask them how many times they were married.
Brian Green
What a joy. Am I right? I get it.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
That there's like, maybe, could be A warning sign there with three divorces. But. But everybody deserves love. And you know what, what it did to just automatically, hey, listen, everybody deserves.
Brian Green
Love, but not with this guy, ok? If you're not fresh out of the oven, I don't want to have anything to do with it. You also got to make sure they're virgins. That's all I gotta say. Ok? All right, conversation over. Nuffset.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Check, please.
Brian Green
La cuente, por favore.
Frank Bernardo
Hey, dating trap number two. Don't go out with a woman.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
That was number two.
Brian Green
Three times. I know. He's making his point. Six times.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Times.
Frank Bernardo
Any trap number three.
Brian Green
Now, why can't you just stick up three fingers?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
He just did two hands.
Brian Green
Why did he have to use both hands to get to number three? Dating trap number three. If it takes more than one hand to make three, you got a problem. Hey, listen. But not everybody has, you know, fine motor skills, but he isn't an esthetician. So I would hope that he's got that one in the bag, that woman.
Frank Bernardo
And you're having conversation. I want you to pay close attention to what she says about.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Also, are these. Should these be considered traps or like, red flags?
Brian Green
Chrissy, Chrissy, if you've learned trap. If you've learned anything about Frankie B. It's that he doesn't always have a master. He's, like, not always mastering the English language. And so. Dating trap. This is not a dating trap. This makes no sense what he's saying, how he's using the word dating trap, but yet words Dating trap. But we. We love him anyway.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yes.
Frank Bernardo
Or it could be an ex boyfriend that they live with for years. If they're talking how dominant the man was in their life, how much control he had over her, how much control he had over the family, you press.
Brian Green
The button and take her home. This is game on. I'm telling you what, you've hit the. You've hit the jackpot here, Chrissy.
Frank Bernardo
And he kind of struck the fear of God in everybody. And she's going to tell you how much she hated that, how much she disliked that.
Brian Green
You know what?
Frank Bernardo
I'm gonna feel sorry for the woman, and I'm sure you would, too, because that's the furthest thing that. That I would do to a woman or a family. And I'm sure the average guy out there is going to be the same way. But unfortunately, there are women who get.
Brian Green
Wait a second. Wait a second, Wait a second. Slow your roll here just a little bit. Frankie, are there like. So you just kind of Controlling of women, you're kind of dismissive of them. You're kind of put their feelings in the back seat. But if someone really does those, like if someone just goes full bore on those things, then what's to be considered is that they are weak minded and you don't want them. Yeah, that is the. Hello. That's the kettle calling the turtleneck black.
Frank Bernardo
Together marry narcissists and very dominating people. Now pay special attention to that conversation, okay. And keep it up here. And then I want you to see.
Brian Green
Do you know how specific these examples are? I mean very few know. Yes, very specific examples.
Frank Bernardo
How she acts. Let's say you're, you're progressing in your dating and you're noticing that if you have a disagreement and I say a disagreement. We all have disagreements. That's part of life.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Okay?
Frank Bernardo
It's going to happen. But if you have a disagreement and.
Brian Green
She'S doing a lot of talking, tune.
Frank Bernardo
Her out and she becomes obnoxiously dominant and you're not allowed to have an opinion, you're not allowed to have a say.
Brian Green
So what.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Had been controlled?
Brian Green
Where did we go with this?
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
He hates when women have autonomy.
Brian Green
I know. It's really difficult for a woman to have an opinion. In Frankie's. In Frankie's opinion. In Frankie's opinion, it's really difficult for a woman to have an opinion. We gotta take a break. I'm just checking. So engrossed. I know. I love Frankie. Me too. And that's why I have to remind myself. Do we have to take a break? Is there a break? Okay, let's pay some bills. Donate to our sponsors links in the show notes. We'll take a break and we'll be back.

Brian Green
Frankie B. Is here telling us his dating traps. He's on the third video of three of a series that is apparently highly coveted. Everyone really wants one. And Frankie B. Is in the middle of telling us a story, a very specific story about when you go to dinner with a woman, woman, if she starts talking about how dominating her man was, you feel sorry for her. But then if she has opinions, they're into an argument. Yes.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
And she talks then.
Brian Green
And she has conversation. Yeah.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
She says something.
Brian Green
Well, listen, Chrissy, I mean, let's be real. He's kind of right about that.
Frank Bernardo
Kind of gets loud and in jumpy like. Like she's taking full control and you're not allowed to ask a question. And she kind of strikes. If you're a God and you to.
Brian Green
Ask.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Strike the fear of God in you.
Brian Green
How do I feel like. Why do I feel like this has never happened in Frankie B's life that a woman has struck fear into his heart? I mean, she strikes the fear of God in you.
Frank Bernardo
Particular question.
Brian Green
I just want to know so badly about Frankie B's personal life.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I do, too.
Brian Green
I want to know who he's dating. I want to know what they look like. Like, I want to know the interactions between them.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
We saw. We did see that one woman. When he tried to pivot to being a travel. Travel content creator.
Brian Green
He was a travel agent for a minute. The Holiday Inn in Puerto Rico.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
He showed us the hotel.
Brian Green
It was not great. It was not great. There was clothes all over the bedroom. He showed us the gym. It was. Was as big as my bathroom. I mean. And then he showed us the beach. He showed us the beach. Like, the weirdest beach I'd ever seen.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Didn't he go into the ocean?
Brian Green
He did. It's like the great thing about the ocean is you get. When you get right here, it's right up to your knees. And I'm like, that's how all oceans work, Frankie. At some point, you're going to get.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I really want to see that one again.
Brian Green
Oh, he's got another one. That's the review of the gym in Puerto Rico. But it's only like four minutes long. And it's not that funny. But he shows you all the machines that you can work out on. But what fascinates me maybe even more than Frankie B's love life is I want to know about his. His family life. Does he have children? Are they grown? Do they respect him at all? Does he have daughters? Probably not. Is he. Is his mother still alive? Is his father still.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Never mentioned. Never any of that.
Brian Green
Well, to be fair, they probably all sat him down and had an intervention. Struck the fear of God in him. If you say my name on that goddamn channel.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
A daughter.
Brian Green
That's right.
Frank Bernardo
That she knows is coming. So that woman just went through a relationship that she hated. But guess what? She lived that for years. So guess what? It's. It's in her. They know no better. They could talk.
Brian Green
They literally absorb feelings and emotions.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
They know no better.
Brian Green
They know no bounds. Chrissy, these women will do whatever they can to trauma dump on you. You got to stay steely like a man. Get back to your tuna and eggs. Get back to your tuna eggs. And espn and everything will be fine. Don't let that woman push her emotions on you. Not your problem. Those emotions, if they don't want that.
Frank Bernardo
But you got to be real careful with women like that. Because guess what? They could possess it.
Brian Green
They think they are witches. They go to therapy. They are witches.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
They think.
Brian Green
Think they're Wiccans, all of them. They go out into the woods and they curse our names.
Frank Bernardo
They're not doing it. And they think that it's right for them to do it because that's what they lived with.
Brian Green
All right?
Frank Bernardo
I was in a relationship like that.
Brian Green
Just two days ago.
Frank Bernardo
She actually was a narcissist, okay? And I had to end it because she was carrying on all the same. Same traits as her ex spouse. So pay careful attention to that. Pay careful attention to narcissism because I.
Brian Green
Want you to take notes and record the phone call.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Because he's not narcissistic at all.
Brian Green
Yeah, listen. Hey, Frankie. Yeah. By the way, I do have to point this out. Chrissy's right about this. If you're in one bad relationship, we all have bad relationships. If you're in two bad relationships, that's really shitty luck. If you're in three, you should start learning some lessons. If all of your relationships are terrible, it's likely you are the problem. That's it. Ask me, I know it doesn't end.
Frank Bernardo
They can change. It's embedded in them. Do yourself a favor. Dating trap number three. If you think she's a narcissist, get the hell out.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Out.
Brian Green
That was the most long winded way of saying if you're dating a narcissist, get out.
Frank Bernardo

Brian Green

Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Christmas gift.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Oh, but I can't believe you've never.
Brian Green

Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
And that's why I'm helping with show research now.
Brian Green
Yes. Frank Bernardo. We're gonna have to look because there are many Frank Bernardo's. Oh, wait, I think I found it. Oh, it's locked. That one. Only three followers. Christina, you got to get on this. Let me know if you find. There are lots of Frank Bernardo's out there. And this. Wait, Founder of CEO Boss recruiting. No, that's not him.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Are you looking up Bernardo or Bernardo?
Brian Green
It's Bernardo.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
It's on. He wrote it as Benardo.
Brian Green
He wrote it as Bernardo?
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Yeah. I always thought he just had like a weird way of speaking, but it's B, E, N, N. He does have a weird way.
Brian Green
He does have a weird way of speaking. Benardo.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Benardo.
Brian Green
Frank Bernardo. A, R, D. Okay, I don't see that either, really, quite frankly.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
I'm on it.
Brian Green
You got it.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Please hold.
Brian Green
Please text immediately. If not. Oh, you're airdropping it to me.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Well, just a second.
Brian Green
Okay. All right. I'm just. I'm excited now.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I know it's very exciting.
Brian Green
I'm really excited. Christina. And Christina is. We just gave Christina the employee of the week award.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yes.
Brian Green
Because there's only four of us. But she had a 25% chance of winning. But you should know that Christina comes into a really tough situation. Chrissy and I have been doing 650 episodes all alone with no help from anybody. When we're recording every. There's a lot of people that help us outside of the recording, but when we record, it's just Chrissy and I. But Christina comes in as the third wheel in a situation where Chrissy and I know each other very well. The needed third wheel. And she's been doing such a great job. So I just thought I'd say that. Christmas Eve. Thank you, Christina.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yes, thank you.
Brian Green
You've added a layer. Facts.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I was going to say of some kind of validity. I'm sending you the link to what we're doing.
Brian Green
Yes. This is amazing. How did I never think to get on a social media hunt for Frank Bernardo? Bernardo? Why? And why did I always think it was Bernardo?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Because he says Bernardo.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Sounds like he's saying Bernardo, but just with a Bernardo. Like a speech impediment.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah, he does have one.
Brian Green
Oh my God. He just posted on in October.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
He's got a girlfriend.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Well, we figured that.
Brian Green
Oh, she's very pretty. She's very pretty.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh, good for Frank.
Brian Green
She looks like Darcy from 90 Day Fiance. Am I right about that?
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Oh, my God. Have you seen his tattoos?
Brian Green
Yes.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh, yeah, I've seen the tattoos.
Brian Green
Wow. I hadn't look at him. Oh, yeah.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
That's why he does his workout videos.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
He's happy.
Brian Green
Oh, my gosh. This just opened up a whole.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Oh, he's over 60. Because he hashtagged over 60.
Brian Green
He did, yeah. He's looking really old in that. In these recent videos, I will say.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
He looks happy, which is nice.
Brian Green
Yes, he does. Well, he's got a girlfriend. We were right. That's why he's not posting. Here's his girlfriend.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Oh, my God.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Okay.
Brian Green
Don't stop believing. The most cliche real music ever. Oh, my God. This opened up a whole new world. There's going to be a lot more Frankie B. In 2025, guys.

Let's get back to the video trap number four.
Frank Bernardo
And guys, if you fall into this, this is your fault.
Brian Green
Okay?
Frank Bernardo
First impression, all right? Especially for guys.
Brian Green
First impression. You're good looking, you're a little yappy, and you don't speak great English, but I still love you.
Frank Bernardo
We're not, you know, actively dating. Say you're dating for the first time in 20, 25 years.
Brian Green
Okay, 20, 25 years.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Well, that's how he started. Or that's how we found him.
Brian Green
Yes, that's true.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Because he was recently coming out of a divorce and he was getting people back in the swing of the game.
Brian Green
In the swing of things.
Frank Bernardo
Impression. It's everything with a woman, all right? Check your grooming. Us older guys, we got hair growing out of every orifice.
Brian Green
Well, he's right about that. Fuck. God. In his funny sense of humor as he gives us hair growing. The hair cannot grow on the top of my head, but inside of my asshole, no problem. If that's why the Frankie Follicles gets transported from your balls to your head. That's why all these guys with hair transplants looks. Oh, by the way, if you look on his Instagram, it doesn't look like the hair transplant did all that great. No.
Frank Bernardo
On the sun. So do yourself a favor. Even if you got to get a magnifying glass, you think you're getting all these hairs in your ears and nose out, but you're not remember, you're going to be very close to that woman.
Brian Green
Woman.
Frank Bernardo
And what's that woman doing? She's dissecting you, all right? She's going.
Brian Green
She.
Frank Bernardo
She's looking at you and she's going, I don't like this.
Brian Green
This sucks.
Frank Bernardo
Ah, this is. Okay, he's a little pudgy there.
Brian Green
This.
Frank Bernardo
This is.
Brian Green
Wow. Who are you dating, first of all? Second of all, Terminator.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
It's like. Yeah, analyzing every little thing through a magnifying glass.
Brian Green
You're not Jude Law, first of all. Second of all, on a first date, are we really getting close enough to see someone's little ear hairs or nose hair? I mean, listen. However, I have seen some guys, and I know some guys in my personal life, and it's.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Sometimes the nose hairs are out of control.
Brian Green
The toe hair, the nose hair and the ear hair. And they're not that old. I mean, we're talking, like, you know, late 30s, early 40s. And it's like, do you not recognize that you could braid your toe hair? Could you please take care of that? Astrid and I have a friend, and I swear to God, his toes are. The. Are much ballyhooed around here because it's like, could you just take a. All you gotta do is, you know, you have a razor for your face and a razor for the rest. You know what I'm saying? Get down in those toes every once in a while.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Like small scissors.
Brian Green
Yes. If there's a curl in your toe hair, it's entirely too long. All right, can we all agree that toe hair is not attractive? Listen, I know it can be on trend for women to have a little leg hair, a little armpit hair, whatever. Cool. I mean, I. Listen, that's my scene. Believe it or not, that's my scene, okay? Women with arm hair are my scene. But when you have toe hair that you've taken it too far, it's gone too far.
Frank Bernardo
That's what they do. Don't give them. Don't give them that ammunition. Make sure your grooming is on par, okay? Your clothes. Clothes. Don't pull out something that you've had in the closet for 10 years. Go buy a nice shirt, okay? First impressions don't wait.
Brian Green
Now, Frankie, you're taking it a step too far, because I will let you know that I only have things in my closet from 10 years ago. This sweater I bought. This sweater I bought when we worked at Clear Channel. Chrissy, I am not even kidding you. Still looks good, doesn't it? Doesn't smell so good. I Think it is Hollister.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
I think that's so funny.
Brian Green
I don't know what. I don't know what that means.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
It looks good. It was of the time when you were at Clear Channel. It's kind of of the time now.
Brian Green
It's come back. Hollister's new again. Yeah. Isn't Hollister the one that had all those guys, like, half naked? Yeah, Hollister and Fitch.
Producer/Researcher (possibly Christina's assistant or another team member)
Both of them.
Brian Green
Yeah, but I think the Abercrombie guy was doing a little, you know, new world pedoing. He was actually giving guys blush jobs.
Frank Bernardo
Come in a hockey shirt. I was talking to a girl in the gym yesterday. She went on a first date. The guy showed up in a Chicago Blackhawks jersey. I mean, are you kidding me? She almost had.
Brian Green
Hey, listen, Go team. What does it matter? It's 2024. I see people going grocery shopping in their underwear.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh, yeah.
Brian Green
I have sat next to people on airplanes wearing Grinch pajama. It doesn't fucking matter anymore. I'm wearing Hollister from 2007, okay?
Frank Bernardo
A heart attack. I don't care if you're into sports, okay? Save that for.
Brian Green
For.
Frank Bernardo
For your buddies, okay? Dress the part.
Brian Green
Look, save that for your prostate massage conferences art.
Frank Bernardo
Be a gentleman, and you will not fall into dating trap number four. Four is losing that woman right at the first impression. If you enjoyed the video.
Brian Green
Wait. Dating trap number four is don't lose her at the first impression? Yeah. Like, how is that your choice?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Right?
Brian Green
Yeah. Well, listen, dad, I'm. I'm agreeing. Frankie has made a point that I finally agree with. And that is, please groom yourself long before you decide to show up on a first date. Because nothing ruins Christmas like toe hair or nose hair. Okay? The first of, too. I'm gonna get you through Christmas. I promise I will. Chrissy and I are on a mission to make your Christmas a little bit more mimosa. You do? All right, we'll get you one. Settle down. We gotta call HR and ask what's the maximum amount of drink tickets we.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Can give Chrissy, I'm pre approved.
Brian Green
You're pre approved? Do you remember we went to.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Oh, yes.
Brian Green
And we got drink tickets because they didn't want people to get drunk at the rate of radio Christmas party at the bowling alley. No expense has ever been spared at a radio party.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
No.
Brian Green
Honestly, no.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Remember we knew the guy who. We knew who was handing out the drink tickets, so we got as many as we want.
Brian Green
Yeah, listen. Yeah, first of all. Second of all, you hand out the drink tickets and then you tell Everybody, it's a cash bar. We already knew we were going to pay for our own drink tickets. You cheap bastards. Here's. Did you get your two tickets? Yeah. No, I didn't. Give me two more.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I know.
Brian Green
Well, I'm throwing up in the bathroom. No, I didn't.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
We got wasted.
Brian Green
Holy. That was a long night at the office. No joke. Wow. I think I was still.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
We got there at like 12, like noon.
Brian Green
Yeah, they. They brought us. They busted us over at noon, actually. I think we took a car, but they bust everybody over.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I got my car there. I did not drive home.
Brian Green
I don't think you got that car back for a week. I was married. I don't think I got my wife back for a week. I think we were all in trouble. Didn't we end up at a Russian friend's house?
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
I think so.
Brian Green
High on whatever.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yeah.
Brian Green
Cheap bowling alley cocaine. Cheap morning show producer cocaine. Something like that.
Christina (Chrissy) Joy Hoadly
Yes.
Brian Green
Yes. Well, listen, don't get yourself in too much trouble tonight because tomorrow we'll have another episode ready for you when you have your Christmas mimosas, after the presents are open, Donna cap and put on your headphones and come along with us as new beats.

Air Date: December 31, 2025
In this festive edition of The Commercial Break, Bryan and Krissy revisit their chaotic, off-the-wall “12 Days of TCB” holiday special. This particular episode, originally intended for Christmas Eve but released on New Year's Eve due to technical hiccups, features nostalgic stories of family traditions, workplace shenanigans, debates on the best (and worst) holiday pizzas, and, most notably, a hilarious, takedown-filled review of “dating advice” content from their all-time favorite YouTube character, Frankie B. It’s a wild, unfiltered, holiday romp celebrating both the mess and the joy of the season—and of the podcast itself.
