Episode Overview

In this delightfully chaotic episode, Bryan and Krissy fully embrace their “boomer” tendencies, riffing on grown-up obsessions like grocery stores, weather chat, medical mishaps, and nostalgia. The show’s signature blend of self-deprecating improv, variety-style banter, and semi-serious (but always hilarious) takes on modern life shines as the hosts discuss everything from podcast ad strategies to the perils of bargain cosmetic procedures. If you ever wondered how an irreverent comedy podcast could spin a whole episode out of grocery stores and dental horror stories—and still be hilarious—this is your answer.

    “I don’t like it when I’m listening to something; it gets chopped up too much.” (07:39)

2. The Mount Rushmore of Grocery Stores (08:31 – 17:29)

• Krissy and Bryan go deep on their favorite (and least favorite) grocery stores, with heart and humor:

• Comparison of Publix, Kroger, Whole Foods, and Aldi:

3. Medical Drama & DIY Danger (18:02 – 34:04)

• 21 EPMs—Bryan shares a study supporting the health benefit of “21 Ejaculations Per Month” for prostate health, riffing on his vasectomy and the show’s plan to sell “mediocre sweatpants.” (18:02)
• Veneer Tech Scandal:
  • They dive into a disturbing trend: unlicensed “veneer technicians” in Atlanta receiving dubious certificates after just a two-day course and performing dental work without dental qualifications.
    • Bryan: “This is a horror movie... for $6,000, there’s no way you’re not getting a certificate... Not gonna fail you out of the class.” (25:08)

4. Dental Trauma Tales & Implant Horror (34:56 – 45:06)

• Bryan recounts his own root canal nightmares, a parable about procrastinating on dental work:
  • “Three and a half hours in the chair ... he starts lowering the gas ... ‘I’m really sorry, but I’m not able to complete the root canal.’” (37:50)
• They then discuss a truly shocking Daily Mail story about a Turkish dentist who botched an implant, driving a screw into a patient’s brain cavity.

    “The screw went all the way up into his cranium, causing him to scream in agony. ... This is why you don’t go to the knockoff dentist.”

    • Bryan: “I’d be a dolphin. … If I’m going to let me be a cute animal.” (48:34)
  • The “always go full dolphin” bit wraps with Krissy quipping:
    • “Be a medical professional, folks—and go full dolphin.” (50:06)

Transcript

[A]

Well, look, can we go in there in case they got something Disney, It's a chemist. Yeah, but they might have some Winnie the Pooh panda pads. Come on. Why do I like Disney so much? Probably because I'm quite thick. On this episode of the commercial break.

[B]

We're really going full boomer on this episode.

[A]

Yeah, I think we've been going full boomer for a long time.

[B]

We need to bring, we need to put the weather in there somewhere.

[A]

Weather to grocery stores. But everybody has to go to a grocery store.

[B]

Medical things coming up next.

[A]

Coming up next, check your problem state and look out for pre menopause, vasectomy, vasectomy, weather, Kroger. It's all here for you if you're 55 and over. Don't worry about it.

[C]

The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the beanie to my baby, Kristen Joy Hood. Bestie you Chris.

[B]

Bestie.

[A]

Best of you out there in the podcast universe. Chrissy and I were just thinking about all the ways we could ever make money on this show potentially if we ever actually put in any work and effort into this show. And one of the things we were talking about is like, what if we sent out an ad free version of the show that people could listen to if they wanted to. And then we thought, you know, who's going to pay for like, you know, so many people are have subscriptions, subscriptions to everything in the world. Would they really pay for a subscription free version of this fucking podcast? I mean, there's a lot of shows, you know, Conan, Smart List, you know, Joe Rogan you had to pay for on Spotify at one point. Like there's a lot of people, A.

[B]

True crime if you want to know what happens all at once.

[A]

Npr, if you're actually interested in facts and figures, you know, like that, I, I don't know, something, you know, ABC News, I'm not sure, but whatever. And so we, we, you know, like most ideas, they come and then they go very quickly because we think, because we don't think very highly of ourselves. And then so we were just talking about advertisements in the show and you know, you may have noticed or you may not have noticed because you're probably gone from the show at this point.

[B]

Right. We ran you off last summer, last.

[A]

Summer when we decided to put 20 ads show. I don't know what I was thinking. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money.

[B]

I, I didn't even realize this. I told Brian I was listening to a show the other day and they had like, you know, five ads in one break. And I thought, okay, that's a.

[A]

That's a much.

[B]

Yeah, I can do three, but.

[A]

But 25 ads in a show is probably not best practice. But there really isn't a lot of, like, there isn't a lot of data on best practices around ads. Some audiences are more tolerant than others. But I have to agree. I do, I do. I guess, you know, I bow to the point that maybe at one point we were putting too in the show.

[B]

We were on a new network now.

[A]

Yeah, we're on a new network.

[B]

They were like.

[A]

And they said Odyssey came to us and was like some of those, like, waiting through 26 minutes of ads four minutes after the show starts. Probably not best practice.

[B]

God, was this back still when you were doing that long intro, too? Yes, it was amazing.

[A]

Well, it's amazing we have any listeners now. I mean, for God's sakes, we did a six and a half minute intro to the show to follow directly by a six ad break. We go another three minutes, another four ads, another seven minutes, another five ads. I mean, it was stu, you know, listen, I. I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I wasn't thinking.

[B]

You were thinking about Spain for a month.

[A]

Well, I got to Spain for a month and I wish I could take it all back now. I'd be like, spain for a long weekend, huh? What do you think? Have all your family members gather at the airport. We'll fly in on Ryanair and we'll fly out. We'll have dinner at the airport cafe and we'll fly out. What do you think? How's that? How does that hit you? Because it hits me right in the pocketbook. I might actually have some money left. Yeah, the summer. Yeah, you know, whatever. Anyway, Summer of love was the summer of love. And then the winter of our discontent, The very big winter of our disconnect. Man, did we. I don't want to get into the details, but, man, did we have a lot of. We had to get over a lot of things in the winter, finally off into the spring, probably into the summer. So, you know, it is what it is. It is what it is. You live, you learn, you make mistakes.

[B]

You do.

[A]

You say, hey, you know, maybe I shouldn't have done business with those people. I'm sorry. Maybe those people didn't do so great for you. They weren't the right people to do business with. But you know, but I do like the balanced approach now to, to the advertisements. I think two is probably much better. There's two ads in each break and then sometimes there's a third. But it's like a pro. It's a promo. Right. For another podcast that we enjoy, that we want people to hear about. So. And that runs only on occasion. Like, it doesn't run every single download, but it runs on occasion. So technically, theoretically, you should only hear about 4 minutes of ads for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes worth of content, which I think is. Is reasonable. Yeah, right. Yeah, you get the little pre rolls. You know, I used to. I haven't listened to Joe Rogan's podcast previous to Spotify. I wasn't consuming his audio version, but I do remember listening to an episode. Like one time listening to episode we first got into podcasting because I was like, okay, if he's the biggest and the best, let's see what he's got going on and then maybe we can take some ideas from there. I decided not to take any ideas from him. But, you know, I like Joe. I think he's fine. I think he's great for the business and seems like a really pleasant human being in general. But I listened to one of his episodes previous to the Spotify deal, and he had a shit ton of ads before the show would start. He would have like four or five, six minutes of ads right at the beginning of the show. Now granted, Joe does a four hour show however many times a week. Like, he has so much more content than we do. He's also so much better at doing this than we are.

[B]

And paid so much more.

[A]

Paid so much more than we are. But he deserves these guys, you know, whatever. 38 million human beings listen to him every. Every month. He's a. He's swinging a big stick. So I was listening to it and so I guess that's where kind of I thought, well, is. Is it inappropriate? How. What is the right balance? What is the right mix?

[B]

And then I see you, like, Joe's doing it.

[A]

Joe's got six. Well, the difference between Joe and the commercial break is people actually wanted to be on his show. We just had random ads running.

[B]

They request California Highway Patrol.

[A]

Yeah, California Highway Patrol and Kroger. Thanksgiving ads all through Christmas, all through the summer. Thanksgiving ads. Get your turkey or Kroger. I love Kroger, by the way. Love shop, love shopping at a Kroger. I love. You know what? This is a good point. Let's get off the podcast in the weeds. But I just want to say this, but then I know some shows that like have a strict one ad per break, but then they'll put in like five or six breaks in the course of an hour. So they chop it up much more. I prefer to have two breaks in the content. Like there's a couple of ads before the show. Two breaks in the content, two or three minutes of ads. I think that's a good balance.

[B]

I agree. Because yeah, I don't like it when I'm listening to something. It gets chopped up too much.

[A]

Yeah, there's one like.

[B]

I'm like an ad again.

[A]

I know I'm not going to name the show, but hour and a half average content, five to seven individual breaks of one or two ads per break. I mean, it is ridiculous. And on top of that, they promote their own like coaching and you know, seminars and well being camps and all this other stuff. It is insane. It's basically an hour and a half of content where 42 minutes of it is commercials. It's crazy. And I'm. I. That I won't. That I know better than to do. Yeah. So this episode brought to you by.

[B]

Kroger and and Brian and I's new coaching service.

[A]

Yeah, our new coaching service. You want to come to our wellness retreat? Meet us in Spain for two hours Thursday, August 4th.

[B]

And then you're on your own.

[A]

Yeah. Aero Puerto Cafe. Yeah. Then you're on your own. Good luck to you. Enjoy the rest of Spain. If you have money, spend a month there. So I, I wanted to share that. You know, I don't know which pub. You know, there's lots of grocery stores throughout the country and I've been to. You've been. Everyone's been to a grocery store. I don't need to give you the details on a grocery store. You know what it is.

[B]

This is how they work.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You pull.

[A]

What is your favorite? You pull up, you walk in. Yeah. All these materials, front of my face that I can have for money. That's how it works. Money, money, money, money, money, money. What is your favorite grocery store?

[B]

I'll tell you my favorite grocery store. And that is a grocery store that's in the Carolinas and it's called Lowe's. It is amazing.

[A]

Amazing. Such.

[B]

It's the best grocery store in the world.

[A]

It is the most amazing grocery store. Yes, I do.

[B]

I so wish we had any.

[A]

Oh my God.

[B]

Every time I go up and visit my nephews, I'm up there in Greenville south one right down the road, sister. Had introduced me to it. It's so great. You walk in, it's so pleasant. It's kid friendly. Yet no kids are. Are acting crazy. There's a bar.

[A]

It is so kid friendly. There's no kids there. That's how kid friendly it is.

[B]

Well, they give cookies to the kids at the bakery. They have all. It's just pleasant. It's so pleasant.

[A]

Chrissy.

[B]

It smells good. It looks good. People are so nice. You get your beer and you walk around and do your shop.

[A]

I have never experienced a grocery store in my life. Except for one in Denver that I can't. I fail to remember the name of it, but there was one in. No, not Denver. Indianapolis. It was a grocery store in Indianapolis that was like. Imagine a Lowe's. Three times the size.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Oh, huge. Huge. Like the size of a super Walmart, but just beautiful. It was in it. There was. They. They were actually growing bananas in there. I think it was like. It was unbelievable. There were like strawberries coming out of strawberry plants. Y. It was crazy. But this Lowe's, I am telling you what, there's one in Clemens, you know about it, North Carolina, where Astrid and I first physically met each other at my aunt. No, we didn't meet at a Lowe's. Yes, meet me at Lowe's, hon. Let's grab a glass of wine for our first date. It's kid friendly. They have alcohol and the butcher will cut it any way you want it. Any way you want it. That's the way I cut it. Anyway, you need it. These people, that grocery store. I actually approached a manager at the Clemens, North Carolina Lowe's. And I said, why and how can I help you get down to Atlanta, Georgia. I was in the real estate business at the time. And there was a mixed use project that was going on here in Atlanta that I was helping to finance. And I said, listen, I could probably talk to these people about getting you a lease because they had a grocery store available space and it hadn't been built yet. And they were like, yeah, actually the owners of this business, they are pretty hell bent on keeping it under control. They don't want crazy expansion. They want quality. Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you could tell because the second you went into the grocery store, you're right. There is a big beautiful bar. There are pastries, there are fresh breads.

[B]

The. Each section is just its own adventure.

[A]

Yeah, it's its own adventure.

[B]

It is the bread section, the cheese section, the meat section, the every. The bakery, the bar. It's all exquisite.

[A]

You ask Astrid about Love. And what you'll hear is that Brian would be missing for hours at a time when we were up at my aunt in law's house. Because I would be at Lowe's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Just dicking around.

[B]

It's a fun store to go to. Every time I go up to Greenville, I'm like, lowe's time to go. I've got to pick up one thing. Okay, whatever. I'm gonna go. That would pick up.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Astrid and I would be like the wine section. We'd get out of the house. We'd say, hey, we're going to Lowe's. And then we'd be going.

[B]

The spice section.

[A]

I gotta go into the spice section.

[B]

I was looking at that. I. I just thought, well, you know.

[A]

Well, now you're just being silly.

[B]

Normally at the other grocery stores, it's down an aisle, Right? This is not. It is down. It has its own section on the side, like pro. It's like spice and then produce.

[A]

Let me tell you, it's the.

[B]

It's laid out for just amazing.

[A]

It is an amazing grocery store. And let me tell you when I officially first felt old in my life. When I decide when I came back and. And told Astrid, I. I love Lowe's so much. And she thought, you know, it's like when my dad came back from his first Home Depot trip.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what I'm saying? He found a new place to be in love. He found a new place he could go. A home. A home for my dad away from home. A place where he could go and get away. The children. Somewhere he could waste time and look at screws.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is this kind of screw and that kind of screw. What kind of screw do I need? Maybe I'll look at multiple screws.

[B]

Nuts and bolts.

[A]

How much time my dad spend in that screw aisle. Hour, days, Months. And I used to think, what the fuck? What do we. Why are we. Who needs a screw? Who needs to look at a screw? This. Just buy a screw. Right? But now I understand having, you know, twice as many children as my father did. Now I understand it wasn't about the screws. It was the one single place where he could focus on something else. Except for, you know, mutually assured destruction and how much money he was spending raising his children.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And when I came home from that Lowe's and I said, babe, I'm just in love with this Lowe's, I don't even know what to tell you. I can't. I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave. I was like a cigarette smoker when I first met Astrid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so I. I just. I would go there. I would buy a pack of cigarettes. I would stand outside in the parking lot. I'd smoke next to the car. I try to leave, but then I go, yeah, you know, I could buy one more thing. I could go back in there one more time. It was like having an affair when I went to the.

[B]

I. I. I'm so happy you know this, because I didn't think you were gonna know. And I don't even know how to describe it to somebody.

[A]

You can't.

[B]

Hasn't been.

[A]

If you haven't been to a Lowe's, you can't describe a Lowe's. It's. It's nearly impossible to describe just how happy it makes you. It's like the Disney World of grocery stores. It really is. And I would argue that anybody who is in a grocery store aficionado, which is probably most human beings, because we have to go there and do something at some point. If you walk in there and you don't walk out falling in love with this grocery store, I don't know. You're not human. It's like people who say, I don't like music. You don't like music. Or puppies. It's like, you don't like music or poppy. What the fuck are you? You're not a human. You're an alien. But I will share with you that I've been a Publix guy as far as Atlanta is concerned. Yeah, I've been at Publix, Whole Foods, fine. That's a given. If you can afford it and you can go there, then fine. Whole Foods is great.

[B]

We go there to get specialty meats.

[A]

That's what we do too. We go there on occasion to get meat, but we don't buy the regular stuff at Whole Foods. You know what? Since Amazon bought it, it's much cheaper, but it's still not the cheapest around. And Publix actually is even more expensive sometimes than the Whole Foods.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, I'm not knocking Publix, because I am a Publix guy through and through, but I went the other day, and I go to the Kroger and all. Astrid will say this. Can you go to the grocery store and get something? And I'd say, yeah, of course. Because I know that means I get to take a trip to Publix, right? Which I really like. And she'll always tell me, go to Kroger. And I don't want to go to Kroger. I want to go to Publix. You're going to say it's. It's two and a half miles closer and you're going to save yourself 20%. And I'm like, like that. I'm going to Publix. I'm spending. I'm going to spend. And I'm going to tell you what right now, I walk into that Kroger and I. I walked out of there for 55, whatever it was. I would have spent 55 at Publix. I would have walked out with one thing of creamer and a box full of, you know, trash bags. That place is expensive. I walk out of Kroger, I got three bags worth of stuff for 55. It does make a difference. Does make a difference. But there is just something about Kroger, which I love. I love both of them. Publix and Kroger. I'm not saying anything, but there's just something about Kroger that lacks the shine of a public. You know what I'm saying? The sparkly newness of a. Of a public.

[B]

I think Kroger is like the biggest.

[A]

Grocery store in the world. Is it?

[B]

At least in the United States. And I was listening to something because there's. Right now, there's. People are trying to block a merger, like the government's trying to block a merger with Kroger and Albertsons, I think.

[A]

Albertsons.

[B]

Yeah. And they. This, this thing I was listening to listed all of the other grocery stores that are actually owned by these two chains and.

[A]

Okay. A lot. Oh, really?

[B]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[A]

You know. You know where Asterisk started shopping? Is that Aldi?

[B]

Aldi.

[A]

Aldi.

[B]

Aldi's a good one.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know. I've never been into an Aldi, but I hear that, you know, you have to buy. It's like a Ryanair. You have to buy. You have to put a penny in to get the. The shopping cart.

[B]

Well, there's the little.

[A]

A little. That's where she's at. The little. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

You don't actually need the penny there for the. For the cart, but you need to, like, bring your own bags and that kind of thing. But I, you know, it's close to you. So I did stop over there and I thought this is actually a great grocery store.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

Yeah. I mean, if you, if you just need to run and get some stuff and it's not as expensive, for sure.

[A]

Listen, I don't care where you shop. I just gotta Say one thing. Buy your sweatpants at Walmart. Walmart. Here's another little hint about the commercial break we're doing. Well, we were on the topic of inside baseball merch drop coming soon, and I am highly considering buying sweatpants from the same company that makes them for Walmart and putting a big TCB logo. What do you think?

[B]

I think I love it.

[A]

Yeah. And then we're going to put, you know, best mediocre sweatpants in all of podcasting. All right.

[B]

I could put 21 EPM right at the crotch.

[A]

Oh, you know, 21 EPM is coming. I just read an article the other day. Brand new article, brand new science coming out supporting our 21 EPMs. It says you are up to 30% less likely to get prostate cancer if you can get 21 ejaculations per month. That's right. And I'd like to announce to everybody, I have no sperm. Just. Just sharing that with you. I took you through my adventure with the vasectomy and trying to practice and get my 21 EPMs in, and I have no sperm. So congratulations to me. Everything's great. There will not be a 31st child. It's over. It's all over. Okay? So don't ask. I got a bunch of medical stories I want to cover today, so let's.

[B]

Really go in full boomer on this episode.

[A]

Yeah, I think we've been going full boomer for a long time.

[B]

We need to put the weather in there somewhere.

[A]

I decided to skip away from the weather.

[B]

So we went grocery store.

[A]

So we went grocery store weather to grocery stores, but everybody has to go to a grocery store.

[B]

And I thought, how do you make money in podcasting? And I thought this was, like, off air.

[B]

I thought about that, too, and I.

[A]

I can just hear Christina right now probably cringing in all of our boom attack. No, because Christina, our editor, of course our producer here at the commercial break, is most definitely not a boomer. She's much younger than we are.

[B]

We're not actual boomers either.

[A]

No, we're not boomers. Geez. We're not that old. I mean, we aren't. Even though we talk about the weather in Kroger. We're not that old. We really aren't. I'm in my mid-20s. I'm younger than Daniel Thrasher. I don't know why he called me a boomer calling you out, Daniel. So here's what, what I want to talk about. I want to talk about three very disturbing stories in medicine. Your teeth are beautiful. Do you have veneers?

[B]

I do not.

[A]

You do not have veneers. Those are. Those are like that. You have braces when you were a kid.

[B]

I did.

[A]

You did. They're beautifully straight. They're really white. They're beautifully straight. Acid has veneers. I know a lot of people who have veneers.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And you know, it can really make a difference if you, if you feel like your smile is kafuckeda. I can understand how that could knock your self confidence a little bit. It so veneers Are the hottest, latest, greatest trend. They've been for five, six, ten years, whatever.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And the veneer technology is getting really good. Like you can now get veneers for a lot less money than you could a decade ago. I think a decade ago was like a thousand dollars a tooth. Yeah. Now it's like 200 a tooth or $250 a tooth. But you must go to a dentist to get this done because they literally shave your teeth down to nubs.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And then they stick these veneers in there. Veneer, Right. That's how they get them on. If you've ever. Do yourself a favor, if you want to throw up your breakfast or lunch or dinner, whatever you've just eaten, go look at veneer prep videos or veneer prep pictures. You will see just how disturbing a mouth looks before the veneers are implanted. After they're shaved down before they're implanted. It is highly disturbing. It literally little, tiny little nubs for teeth. It's gross. There is a company in Atlanta that has just been called out by a dentist on TikTok, a famous dentist on TikTok, A company that is giving out certificates for quote unquote, veneer technicians. They are training in a two day seminar completely unfamiliar to dentistry, Human beings, People who have never worked in the dental industry. They are giving away certificates, certified dental veneer tech to ins. To implant your veneers. You blue, you trying to do a show? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna take this dog and I'm gonna send him to one of these veneer technicians, quote unquote, and I'm gonna have them shave off her throat. That's what I'm gonna do. Can you implant some veneers in her throat?

[B]

Yeah. That's crazy. Isn't that in the certificate?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You can't just get no certified as a veneer tech.

[A]

I knew women and a man who went to like beauty school for nails and hair and stuff like that.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And they spent months, months at that beauty school, of course, months before they got a certificate. They could go out into the world and do people's hair and do people's nails. And now you're giving away veneer technician certificates as if that's even a thing. It costs $6,000. They're walking into class and two days later they come out, out with the quote unquote knowledge to put veneers on your mouth. This is insane.

[B]

Were they supposed to then take that to like a dentist and say, here, I can Put veneers on. Or they were just gonna, like, do it?

[A]

No, they were doing it out of their house. They were doing it in like, you know, renting office type places, like, you know, communal offices. Literally. I don't even know if they're giving novocaine. Are they giving gas? What are they doing? I mean, you know, laughing.

[B]

Sounds like a horror movie.

[A]

This is a horror movie. And the worst part about it is not only are they giving away these certificates, basically giving them away, because if you pay them $6,000, there's no way you're not getting a certificate. Do you know what I'm saying? Not gonna fail you out of the class. Okay. You're not that good at it. But I guess go fuck with people's mouths, I think. Come on. The worst part is they're actually technicians out there who are promoting themselves on social media. Certified veneer tech. What the fuck is that?

[B]

Oh, God.

[A]

Maybe I could just make shit up. I have made shit up. Podcast class. Come to my podcast class and launch your podcast in three days. I stopped doing that. You want to know why? Because it didn't work. I didn't teach people shit. I mean, I taught them. They didn't do anything with it, but whatever. I'm not killing anybody talking on a microphone. Anybody can do it. You're not hurting anybody.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

This is insane. This is insane. And should. Should you come across a certified veneer tech, you should report them to the local dentistry authority. I don't even know who that is, but somebody needs to be called out on this. How can you go and just tell people just, you know, no?

[B]

Well, that's done a lot in the medical field. There's a whole gray line of where people want to save money and so they go get stuff done. But by people that are not fully trained, I think a lot. There was something that was just going on too with like the whole Botox. Did you read about that?

[A]

No.

[B]

Botox is actually. It was actually poisoning people. I mean, it is poison to begin with.

[A]

It's poison.

[B]

But they were getting these, you know, at home treatment type things like Botox party or whatever, and that was dangerous.

[A]

You cannot take botulism and anthrax and just.

[B]

Or implants like those BBL that I've heard about. Horrible stories of those.

[A]

I had a friend of a friend and I read about this on Facebook. A friend of a friend goes down to, I want to say Costa Rica. They went down to Costa Rica to get a butt lift. To get a butt implant. They ended up Being like medevaced. Yeah. To a local hospital because within 24 hours of the procedure, they have a horrible infection. The butt implants are carrying like, you know, triglycerides or whatever the they're carrying. And they went into like, you know, basically septic shock because of this terribly botched procedure that then included them spending an additional month and a half in the ICU here in the United States after being flown out of Costa Rica. I wanted to say it was Costa Rica in order to just, just get her better, get the implants out, get her better, make her better. She was in the ICU for a month and a half, 45 days in the ICU because she wanted to save $5,000 on her, her Brazilian butt lift or whatever it was. You cannot take shortcuts like this. I just don't trust it. Now there are a lot of people who go down to other countries to go to actual doctors who have reputable businesses. I'm not saying other doctors in other countries aren't good, but when you don't even decide to go to the doctor in another country, it's like if you're going to go to a certified veneer tech, you might as well stay home and go to a certified veneer tech. Do you know what I'm saying? It's a lie here, just like it's a lie there. Don't fly to another country to save 200 to come home with a bunch of nubs. Henry, come on. It's crazy. I don't understand it. I understand medical travel. Like, I get that. I think, I think you, if you need like a life saving procedure, something serious done and the insurance company's not going to carry cover it for you or you just don't have the kind of coverage that you need or at all. I can understand trying to find a place where you can get this done. And I believe that, you know, lots of people have done expert, flown to other countries and done experimental treatments for cancer and all kinds of things. Okay, I can understand that. But go to a doctor, Go to someone that's got an actual degree and a license in that country to perform those medical procedures. You can't just say I'm a veneer tech. Brand new veneers, 1999/99.99 shipping and handling. Come to my house, I'll shave your teeth and then I'll stick some old candle wax up there.

[B]

Chiclets.

[A]

And the pictures of the people who have had these procedures done from these people is ridiculous. It's as if you took. I don't know. It's as if, yeah, Chiclets or, you know, what's that? What are the boards that everyone. That. That lady Joanna got everybody into? Just ship laps, lap. It's like they took shiplap. Cut it up. You know the shiplap. The boards on people's houses, they're all white. Everyone's house is white now because of Joanna Gaines. Right? Okay, so they took that shiplap. It's like they took shiplap and just stuck it in someone's mouth. Their teeth are huge. They can't close their mouth properly. And they're like, hello, my name is Language, and I just want to see the veneer tech for my grand canier. I can now chew through wood. I've been sanding down my teeth for three days, and pretty soon I'll have the smile I want. 3.99, part 2.

[B]

I'm just thinking about. While you're talking, I'm just thinking about how sensitive, you know, your teeth can be at certain points. Like if, you know, you have an ice. Piece of ice or, you know, maybe bleached your teeth and they're sensitive, I don't know, but times 10 on that with your teeth being shaved down.

[A]

You want to listen to the guy who. Who. Who did that? Who. Who talked about this? Listen, this is on. This is called the Jasmine brand. I'm not sure what this is, but check it out on Instagram. I'm gonna play the audio from this clip that got me hunting down this rabbit hole. Listen, just took care of another teenager. Wait, sorry. Sorry. That's my porn. You're telling me that y' all are getting your veneers done by veneer tech with a certificate instead of a degree? What is a veneer attack?

[C]

All right, everybody, I'm here. I'm ready to go ahead and discuss the thing you guys have been tagging me and bullying me about for the past week saying, ben, just talk about it. Ben, just talk about it. It's time to talk about this crazy veneer technician stuff. So apparently, if you guys didn't know down in Atlanta, they decided. Decided they were going to make up their own technician called a veneer technician. And we already got Lash, text, nails, text, every text, you know, Botox, text, everything else. So they said, hey, might as well just throw dentistry into the mix. And so my homies down there went ahead and made a school where they're charging you, like, $6,000 to learn how to do veneers in two days. And then printing you out a canvas certificate and just putting your name on it and saying, hey, congrats. And then they are basically tricking other people into thinking that they're professionals to go get veneers at a cheaper price. Now, obviously, there is a slew of problems with this, as I'm sure you understand. One of which is this highly illegal, like seriously federally illegal to be impersonating a person of dental care. You know, basically a dental professional, a doctorate of dental study, a DDS or a dmd, one of the two, if they're not, that they shouldn't be doing stuff on your teeth because. Newsflash. I don't know if I need to tell you this, but there's a lot of things that can go wrong with veneer tech stuff going on. I mean, I don't even want. I don't even know how to. How do we get here? How do we get here in the United States of America?

[A]

Okay, it goes on for a while, but you get it. Yeah. And so. And the reason why this got called out is because there were some people on Facebook, that's. That are on Instagram and Tick Tock that started posting these flyers that they were getting in the windshield of their car. Certified veneer tech. New veneers. $300. Veneers, $300. Now, even I, Brian Greene, who is knowledgeable about nothing in his life, can understand that veneers logically should cost a lot more than $300. It's crazy. So I'm just saying I've got my appointment scheduled for next Tuesday. I'm going to get pretty teeth.

[B]

Oh, under. You could do a hidden camera.

[A]

Well, listen, if my kids start needing veneers or braces or anything like that, I'm not afraid to go to the veneer tech. I'm going to be like, listen, you got a lot of life to live. Live. I can't fuck around with these teeth because I don't have much life to live left. I'm talking about Kroger. And Lowe's on the podcast now, so I'm pretty sure I'm on the back end. But I'm telling you right now, if my kids need veneers, they're going straight to the veneer tech because that's where you get the cheap prices. If I'm willing to go to Kroger to buy my groceries to save a couple bucks, don't you think for one second, Chrissy, that I won't go and get a veneer tech this magic microphone, I swear to God, what is Going on. It's just like I get close to it and it starts popping out. It's like. I don't know, it's like I have some weird energy going on my fingers or something. So that is highly disturbing medical story number one. You want to hear highly disturbing medical story number two?

[B]

Sure.

[A]

I know you do, but I'm going to take a break first. We'll be back. Well, we'll be back in one second.

[D]

Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath. And now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right, it's 2:1. And you can text us anytime you want or you can call and leave us a voicemail and we might just use your message on the show once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok CB podcast. And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on tcbpodcast.com now I'm going to thank G one more time that we have sponsors. So thank G. And here they are.

[A]

Okay. Highly disturbing medical story number two. Did you hear about the guy? Same, same. We're on the same medical nightmare. Dentistry. I know you've had some, some dent. Have you had dental issues?

[B]

No.

[A]

No. Who had dental issues? Your mom, your dad?

[B]

My mom did, yeah.

[A]

Your mom. Didn't you go through like a nightmare.

[B]

Dental situation for a while there and things and whatever?

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And I've been through some, some, some dental nightmares, yeah. The first time that I ever had to get a root canal, I went in. I had no idea what to expect. I am terrified of dentists. I do not like people putting their hands in my.

[B]

A lot of people are like that. I love the dentist.

[A]

I had bad experiences when I was a kid. That's.

[B]

It always stems from that.

[A]

Yeah, we had some guy that, this dentist that was like putting water instead of novocaine or watering down the novocaine. And then, you know, kids were screaming and he was just like, stop being a baby. It's like, why? What? I am a baby. I am a baby. Why do you think I'm screaming like this? But, you know, I've gotten over my fear of dentistry because I know just how important it is to stay away from the serious dental work, which is root canals and crowns and all that. It's. Those are all nightmares. Doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter how much you Tolerate pain. You're gonna get a root canal, a crown, a bridge, whatever the they call it, whatever you're doing. All that is terrible. It's terrible. It's going to be painful, and you're going to be in the dental chair for hours. Now, luckily, I huff a bunch of gas while I'm there. That keeps me nice and calm. But the first time that I went to go have a root canal, I got in there. Never had a root canal, so I didn't know what to expect. And I. The guy had to dope me up so high, he had to give me a nerve block, three or four shots of novocaine. The gas was on like, you know, an 80, 20 mix, 80 gas, 20 oxygen. I was so far in outer space face. But I could still feel it. It was still terrible. It still hurt, really. And it hurt, and I don't know why. And so he starts drilling. And I am in this chair for, I want to say, about three to three and a half hours. I was in the chair as he would drill, and then he would do something else and he would drill and he would go back out of the room and he would come and they would drill again. And I was just so high for like three hours, but still feeling this nerve running into my head. And it hurt so bad. It was terrible. And so three. After three and a half hours in the chair, he starts lowering the, you know, the gas so I could come back to earth a little bit. And he's like, listen, man, I'm really sorry, but I'm not able to complete the root canal. And why. Listen, you are never going to lose these teeth on their own. Those roots are so deep in your skull that you're never going to lose these teeth. You have incredibly large roots on your teeth, are very long. And he said, I actually don't have drills that run that deep. Drill bit drill bits, so I'm going to have to order them. They'll be in in a couple days. I'm going to give you lots of pain medication.

[B]

We're going through all this, but I didn't realize it was this.

[A]

Oh, it was terrible.

[B]

Why do you have to get the root canal to begin with?

[A]

Because you have a cavity that causes an infection inside of your tooth.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So they might seal it, but that doesn't. That doesn't prevent it from getting infected. Like, even the sealant itself can have germs on it. It. And then once it's sealed and an infection's running in there, you can get an abscess like root canals and abscesses can kill you. They can kill. Mouth problems, can kill you. Right. And so it's. It was. I had had this cavity for a long time. I just kept on ignoring the pain because I was like, I don't want to go to the dentist. And when I finally got there, it was so bad that the root canal was the only option. And for him to tell me that this wasn't over, that I was gonna have to do this all over again, and then I had to go sit another three and a half hours so he could try and get. Get all of the root out of the tooth and save the tooth. It was terrible.

[B]

So, but wait, so you saved the tooth. Okay.

[A]

You save the tooth and you fill it with cement.

[B]

Oh, okay. So you just drilled through the tooth down into the root.

[A]

You have to take out, and then.

[B]

You seal that up.

[A]

There is a pulp inside of your tooth. That pulp has nerves. That's why cavities can hurt so bad. Right. Because those nerves are connected to this pulp some way. Shape or form. Not. Dentists don't really know the answer. But I do know this much because this is what I've been told, because I've been through it a few times now. Right. And so the dentist will literally drill a hole in your tooth, in the top, in the flat part of your tooth, and then they will go in with these little. They call them drill bits. And I guess they do have drills that could actually probably drill. But what they're really doing is taking these very long, like. Almost like pins.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But they're twisty, so they can get in and around. Right. And they start digging through, taking out the pulp, like killing the pulp, going in, taking out the pulp, pulling it out. So it's almost like they stick it in. They kind of go. And then they pull it out. And you can feel it when they pull it out. It's like, you know, it yanks. It's. It's terrible. Anybody's been through a root canal knows this. It's terrible. It's terrible. Even if you're doped up, it's terrible because it's just the sensations inside of your mouth are really cringeworthy. And so this guy had to order special drill bits or whatever. I go back another three and a half hours. I was for like a month dealing with this. It was terrible. I would doped up pain medication. Nothing worse than a toothache. This guy, who I think is in Sweden. This all leads to this story, which if you're. If you're like easily squeezed out. Then you might want to turn this for like fast forward five minutes because I want to read you this story. Are you ready?

[B]

I'm ready. I think.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I might be easily queezed out.

[A]

Turkish.

[B]

That's a new term.

[A]

Squeezed out. Yeah, I made that up right then and there. That's a good one. Queezed out. Tcb. Squeezed out old and queezed out. Easy and queasy. Easy squeezy, queasy. Here at the commercial break, you want to throw up or talk about the weather? What's your favorite grocery store? What's your favorite grocery store? It's the stupidest question I've ever asked on this. I don't know.

[B]

I just got so we both had.

[A]

And you know what got me thinking about that? The lows. That's what got me thinking about this. I'm surprised you said that. It was actually. It's actually. You read my mind. Turkish dental surgeon screwed tooth implant into father's brain cavity in horrific blunder then dumped him at the hospital and fled. This comes from the Daily Mail. In the uk, a father of two had to have a dental implant removed from his brain after allegedly getting botched surgery in Turkey. Turkey. I can't say his name, so I'm not going to kill it. Mr. Yilmaz is his name. He's 40 years old. He went to a private dental clinic in Bursa with a toothache. The dentist examined him. The dentist who examined him told him he had a loose tooth that needed to be extracted. Mr. Yomaz had the teeth, had the tooth removed and the dentist recommended implants to replace them. The implant pieced through Mr. Yomaz's jawbone and into the area behind his eye where the brain and the spinal fluid are located. During the surgery, the dentist attempted to force one of the implants into place, but allegedly ended up ended up piercing Mr. Yamaz's jawbone. Speaking to local media, Mr. Yamaz said, after experiencing discomfort with my teeth, I went to a private, private dental clinic. Following examinations there I was informed that my bone structure was delicate, my teeth were loose, and it was advisable to go under surgery and get the implant procedure. The doctor claimed to have 24 years of experience in the field and he assured me of his expertise. So I entrusted him with the procedure. Later, while pulling my teeth and performing the implant procedure on the same day, he was informed, he informed his secretary that the device he was using was faulty. He then proceeded to perform the procedure Manually, he attempted to place the screw. I noticed that he was exerting excessive force. I pointed this out to him, mentioning that I heard a bone cracking sound. However, he. He reassured me this was all normal. But as he continued to force the screw, it pierced through my jawbone and into the area located behind my eye where the brain and the spinal fluid are located. The screw went all the way up into his cranium, causing him to scream in agony. Mr. Yelmaz was taken to a local hospital by the dentist, who left him there and fled the scene. Medics gave Mr. Yelmaz a CT scan and immediately took him in for emergency surgery. The grueling operation lasted four hours, but the surgeons managed to remove the screw from his brain. I screamed in pain and he finally took the X ray. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he took me to the emergency department at the university hospital. Holy. The father of two was discharged days later, is now recovering. As reported by this local newspaper, he added, before the operation, they warned me I could lose my life. I made peace with my children and I bid them farewell. Thankfully, I emerged safely from the surgery. I'm assuming he's talking about the brain surgery and not the initial right dental implant. That is insane. Now look at the picture. No, well, it doesn't actually show. His. Doesn't actually show.

[B]

Look at that, the X ray.

[A]

Oh, that went straight through his tooth up to into his brain. Can you imagine the agony, the anguish just thinking about the fact that that pretty tooth will never be back? I mean, this is incredible. This is why. This is why you don't go to the knockoff dentist. You don't go to the knockoff doctor. You don't go to anything knockoff. You want to go to knockoff, you go to little. That's what I'm saying. Okay? That's what I'm trying to. That's the point I'm trying to make here. You go to little, if you want something cheap, you don't go to knockoff dentists and surgeons and veneer techs, quote unquote, because shit like this can happen. And then what happens when you got a drill stuck in your head? What are you going to do then? Huh? What are you going to do then?

[B]

Yeah, you don't have to go to the most expensive, but go to somebody who's actually a medical professional.

[A]

Chrissy, never have you given better advice on this show. I do have to say this is one of the golden nuggets that I think you've given is that piece of advice. I mean, We've had friends who've had lots of plastic surgery. Right. Did one of our friends have botched plastic surgery and have to go get something redone? Am I saying that. Am I thinking about that correctly? I feel like they did. I've had friends, girlfriends who've had boob implants removed.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Because of certain situations, leakage and stuff like that.

[B]

I mean, yeah, you can get wrong injectables and things.

[A]

Yeah. It's so dangerous. Luckily, my. My boob implants are. They're holding up my man. Boob implants are doing great.

[B]

Hey, they do that now, too. There I was.

[A]

The pectorals.

[B]

Yeah, the pectorals. I think I was watching botched that show, you know, with the two surgeons, and there was this one guy who had so many implants, like the arms implants and pecs and stab. Like, I guess you could get it for every cab. You can get it.

[A]

You can get it anywhere. Do you see these guys that are, like, in Russia, these far flung, you know, Western European countries that inject their arms with these solutions that make their muscles blow up, but then the rest of them looks like me. It's like squeaky and skinny, but they have these huge biceps that are all, like, deformed and weird. Yeah, it's. It's highly disgusting. I don't understand the body modification thing. I don't. But I also don't suffer from dysmorphia. Like, you know, it's not. It's not something that I suffer from. I think I look great all the time.

[B]

You do?

[A]

I think I look hot and sexy all the time. So I don't worry about it too much. But I. I just don't understand it. Like, I don't understand, you know, taking knives and making yourself. Not talking about plastic surgery. I'm talking about, like, disfiguring surgery stuff where you just don't think you look right. Right. And then you have to, like, you know, like the Catwoman or the cat guy who's, like, pulled their face so far back and put all these injectables into their face to make them look like a cat or a Barbie or a, you know, Kendall or whatever it is. That kind of stuff seems so extreme to me, and I just don't get it because it's never. It's never going to go backwards. You're never going to. You're never going to be able to undo what you did. And I wonder if some of those people. There's that famous cat lady, you know, I'm talking about she's like, probably in her 80s now. Now. But all through the 80s, the 1980s, I would remember seeing on occasion, some kind of, you know, crappy Access Hollywood or something story about this lady who was getting immense amounts of plastic surgery to make her look like a cat, like a lynx. And now you see pictures of her and she's. She looks terribly disfigured. But she kept saying, you know, this is the look I want. This is how I want to look. This is sexy. This is good. This is great. Great. And I. Ever since the first time I can remember seeing this lady, I always thought to myself, that is just disturbing a little bit.

[B]

Yeah. You wonder psychologically, you wonder if they.

[A]

Look at themselves and they think, this, this looks good. It must, I guess, if you keep on pursuing it.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

If you could look like. If I could do some surgery on you right now and you could look like any animal, what would it be?

[B]

Any animal.

[A]

Any animal.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

You don't know? Pick an animal. Just an animal. What animal do you like?

[B]

I'm cycling through them in my head and I can't think of one that I want to look like.

[A]

Do you want me to show you pictures of animals? I be a dolphin. I just get my nose elongated. What do you think?

[B]

I do like dolphins.

[A]

I do like dolphins, too. I think they're so cute. You know what I'm saying? If I'm going to be. If I'm going to let me be a cute animal. Do you know what I'm saying?

[B]

Would you just transform into that animal or just your face?

[A]

No, I'd want to go whole body. I'd do the whole body thing.

[B]

If you could just transform into an animal.

[A]

Sorry, Brian's not here anymore.

[B]

We put up a tank.

[A]

I just go back in my pool. I just be flopping around in my pool. Chrissy, be like. Like he said, welcome to the commercial. He said best to you, Podcast universe.

[B]

That's where our screen is, is where we would have like an underwater.

[A]

Underwater cam. And I just swim up every once in a while to the microphone and be like. Do like a flip in the pool. Come back down and be like, If I'm going to go dolphin, I want to go full dolphin. You know what I'm saying? You've got to dolphin penis and everything. No, you don't go half. You never go half. You never go full dolphin. You always go full dolphin. That's what I say. You always go full dolphin.

[B]

Words of wisdom.

[A]

Well, you. You decide.

[B]

Be a medical Professional folks and go full dolphin.

[A]

What else can we say? Go to Lowe's, take care of your teeth, go full dollar dolphin. Always go full dolphin.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. What an interesting episode of the commercial thing.

[B]

We were all over the place.

[A]

Well, not really. I mean, for us. Not really for the audience probably, but for us. We actually stayed on task there. I felt like pretty good. I wanted to ended with full dolphin. I wanted to do four medical stories. We got to two. I wanted to talk about ads in the show. We ended up at Lowe's. I don't know, whatever cares. And tell me you wouldn't pay for an ad free version of this.

[B]

That's right.

[A]
