Kristen Hoadley
You know how at a concert the band will play a song they know everyone isn't in love with just to give the audience a pee break?
Brian Green
Yeah.
Kristen Hoadley
Well, the next six episodes are like that song. Go ahead and excuse yourself. You won't miss a thing. I'll text you when it gets good again. Or if it ever gets good. TCD's endless day is in the fifth hour. The the next episode starts now.

Chrissy Hoadley
Best to you, Brian.
Brian Green
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. And we know you're listening because we're seeing the text messages. Thanks for joining us. DCB's endless day rolls on. What is this episode 17? I don't know. It feels like episode 17. Yeah, the first two were great, and then I kind of crashed after the third one. Here I am trying to keep the boat steady. I changed my pants. I threw some water.
Chrissy Hoadley
I got a little chick Fil A.
Brian Green
Did you get a little Chick Fil A?
Chrissy Hoadley
I did. I Chick Fil A.
Brian Green
Best fast food in the biz.
Chrissy Hoadley
And I just don't think about it until I'm 30 minutes or more outside of my house.
Brian Green
Yeah, Chick Fil A, man, you got to give it to Chick Fil A. They are the best fast food in the business. There's a reason why. It's because they smile and the chicken's good. That's the reason why.
Chrissy Hoadley
Those waffle fries are damn good, too. Oh, man, those waffle fries just salty enough.
Brian Green
Put a little barbecue sauce on them. Maybe some Chick Fil A sauce. Anyway, I'm getting hungry. I'll have to eat after this. Oh, the buffalo sauce is good, too.
Chrissy Hoadley
It's really good.
Brian Green
Hey, shout out. Marianne Chad, South Georgia. Sean, Jenny, our new friend who's a post A mail carrier just texted. I don't know what the name is. I asked for the name and so many more of Postal Executive. That's right. Erica, Dana, and all these people. If you. If you're listening, text in and we'll shout you out. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Too many to name, but we'll try and get to some of them as we go on throughout the day and maybe some phone calls a little bit later on. Looks like around 4pm Eastern Time. Around 4pm Eastern Time.
Chrissy Hoadley
Around that time, we're going to go.
Brian Green

Chrissy Hoadley
Hit the notification, not the commercial break.
Brian Green
Don't even say that.
Chrissy Hoadley
Don't even say it because we. We made it and we forgot how to get into it.
Brian Green
I don't even think it's ours. I don't know. We. No one knows how that got made, but let's not even say that. TCB podcast is TCB podcast is the Twitch handle.

Chrissy Hoadley
Fifth episode, five Five Hour Energy and five years.
Brian Green
Five hours in five Hour Energy. That's right. Hey, I didn't even think about it. Look at you making all those connections. Chrissy's working like ChatGPT today. That's. She's got a little PT head.
Chrissy Hoadley
Hopefully I don't explode like yours did.
Brian Green
Yeah, mine's totally off the rails. I don't even know. It keeps on telling me it's gonna do stuff and then it doesn't happen. And then I'm like, what happened? And it's like, I'm sorry. I can't do that. And I'm like, but you told me you could do it. You're right. That's my fault. And I'm like, you're the worst employee I have ever had. ChatGPT was supposed to be the miracle cure for everything, and it can't even create a Google Drive.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, you overloaded it.
Brian Green
I did. I asked it to. I sucked it, whatever. It fucking cares about my ChatGPT season three. Season three is what we're on right now. So season three here at the commercial break was marked by kind of a turn in tone and texture from for a little while. And that is, I think, toward the middle of the season. And then season four, kind of lump these two together a little bit. Season three and season four were really marred by video reviews. It was almost every episode of the commercial break another video review.
Chrissy Hoadley
We were having so much fun.
Brian Green
We were. It was a lot of fun, to be honest with you. We had a great time, and we got really good at what we were doing. But there seemed to be a couple of themes that we kept repeating over and over again. Dating game shows, Mountain monsters, Frankie B. And occasionally a Teresa Caputo here and there. And we loved it. We loved every member.
Chrissy Hoadley
I think piggy fronting happened.
Brian Green
Yes, piggy fronting. I think aliens happened in season two or season three. The old. Let's see if I can pull up that noise here. Many of you who have been listening for a while will remember.
Ray Bennett
That, of course, came from the guy who claimed.
Brian Green
To have sex with 3,000 aliens, and he got to visit his children up in the space capsule. And he was on our favorite morning show, our favorite ITV morning show called Morning Show. I think that's what it's called, itv this Morning. This Morning or whatever. And the morning show had this guy on. They always had these wacky characters that would come on and they would try and take him seriously. This guy came on, he had drawn his interactions with these magical creatures, of which he had tens of thousands of interactions with aliens, most of them sexual. Like, he was having sex with a lot of alien chicks, you know what I'm saying? As one does when they have no teeth. And our boy, I just never forget when he was like, well, have you ever taken a photograph of it? And he goes, well, it's kind of hard to bring a camera. And I thought to myself, yeah, it's kind of hard to bring a camera on every device that ever has been since the year 2001, there's a camera. This guy was such a nudnik. Anyway, we thought to ourselves, well, if there's gonna be aliens, let there. Let this guy be the aliens guy. If there's one human being that they would choose to give to deliver the message to, it's the hornbag from South Georgia who just can't get along.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, he was, like, from a farm or something.
Brian Green
Oh, he was. Yeah. He was from another planet because he is from. So the aliens. Teresa Caputo, Mountain Monsters dating shows. Man, did we do a lot of Love Connection. Man, did we do a lot of mountain monsters in season three and season four, so beggars can't be choosers. I think we should talk about both of these things, but we might not get it done in one episode. We might have to roll it over into the seventh episode. But I think we should start off by talking about one of our first Love Connection videos, which is what the Fuck Chuck? Is the name of the episode that.
Chrissy Hoadley
Must have been back from season one. Well, I remember being in the other studio for that one.
Brian Green
I don't recall exactly what season it was. I'm just talking about, like, our first love connection was what the fuck Chuck?
Chrissy Hoadley
Because that was so funny.
Brian Green
That was so funny. But in season three, if I'm not mistaken, and I looked last night, this. The problem is that they don't carry season numbers anymore on any of the podcast platforms. So I don't even know. I have to go, like, in the server to take a look at it. And let's be honest about it, Brian says we're lazy.
Ray Bennett
Yeah.
Brian Green
You think I want it?
Ray Bennett
That's why I want ChatGPT to do.
Brian Green
All of this shit for me. Fucker. In season three, we did an episode where we found a guy on the Love Connection who was, like, not a bouncer, but a guy who, like, handed out pamphlets.
Chrissy Hoadley
Oh, yeah.
Brian Green
For the whiskey. A go Go.
Chrissy Hoadley
Right. The little postcard things on the street.
Brian Green
I get chicks all day long. Yeah. I want to do that video again because I think it bears repeating. And we'll do it in the second segment of the show, but, man, did we have some fun with the Love Connection. And for a minute there, I had the bright idea. This is like. I'm just recalling this because I think it's interesting to discuss. I had the bright idea. Let's do a dating show.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, I remember this.
Brian Green
This is, like 12 phone numbers ago. I also remember that season number three or two, we got our first phone number, and then we changed it every three months.
Chrissy Hoadley
That's right.
Brian Green
For two years.
Chrissy Hoadley
That's right.
Brian Green
We had so many different phone numbers. 1, 8, 8, 8, call TCB 12, TCB. 4, 5, 6. Who knows?
Chrissy Hoadley
Was season three also the season where you did the really long intros?
Brian Green
Yeah. You want me to repeat it here? Okay, ready? It would be like the next episode of the commercial break starts now. This same noise every time. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend Chrissy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy.
Chrissy Hoadley
Best to you, Brian.
Brian Green
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Welcome back to yet. Wait. Welcome back to yet another episode of this. The commercial break. The only one you'll ever need is.
Chrissy Hoadley
Hey, it's not for everyone.
Brian Green
It's not for everyone, but at least it's free. Get your money back, guaranteed. Go to tcbpodcast.com la la la la la la la la. It was ridiculous. I would go. I would drone on for days. The good news, the intro was 17 minutes long. So we had already. So we knew every episode was gonna be at least 17 minute long. The bad news, we had like this symposium one time. We invited some listeners to like, tell us what they like and what they don't like about the show. And the number one thing they don't like about the show is Brian doing a 17 minute intro every fucking episode. It was ridiculous. So I have this bright idea. Let's do a dating show.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
Text me or call me at this phone number if you would like to be a part of this dating show.
Chrissy Hoadley
We wrote it in the notebook.
Brian Green
Wrote in the notebook. So you knew it was never going to happen. So I start getting text messages from two people in. In particular. I think we got like four or five people. I think we had like four or five people text us that entire season.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
And three of them were regarding the dating show with these two people in particular. And I'm not going to use their names, of course not, but they were guys. And they started texting me and I said, okay, great. Well, here's my idea. You know, we'll put the girl behind the screen. You can ask some questions if you guys get along. Like, if, you know, kind of like a is it hotter? Is it not? Type of thing. You ask a question, see how she answers. We'll have your answers ahead of time. If those answers are similar, you guys are connected. And then we'll, we'll send you off into the world to do a zoom date or something like that. Because I think this we still. The lockdowns were going on, right? That was my bright idea.
Chrissy Hoadley
But. But then we thought about legal ramification.
Brian Green
Not only do I think about legal ramifications, I started getting some text messages that I just weren't, I wasn't comfortable with. So I knew that the girl on the other end wasn' going to be comfortable with. It was like, you know, well, I'll tell you what, I never dated anybody minus a B cup. So I'm. Or minus a D cup. So make sure she's got grand tetons. And I'm like, dude, you're texting a podcast that has three listeners to find a girlfriend, and you're going to be choosy. Really? And the other guy was like, well, I got to be honest. I'm still living with my mom. And I was like, oh, that's okay. You know, lots of people live with their mom. It's the pandemic. Like, I'm sure lots of people went home. Nah, I never really left home. And I'm like, oh, that's okay. You know, sometimes it takes a while to get out of the house. He's like, 67 years. I was like, 67 years old. You're 67? Probably should have been the first question I asked, but. Yeah, but then I was like, well, maybe we can find someone your age, you know? He's like, I'm not looking for someone my age. And I thought, well, I can think of all the ways this could go wrong. And I can think of none of the ways.
Chrissy Hoadley
Let's change our phone number.
Brian Green
Yeah, let's change our phone number.
Ray Bennett
And we did.
Brian Green
We did. I still have access to one of those old phone numbers. Like the. You know, it's like an online. The phone number is not actually a phone number. It's a system that we use. And then, you know.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, because we started off with that Gmail version. Right, too.
Brian Green
That I had every cheap thing. I have free phone number, dot com.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, didn't one of them. Then they go out of business?
Brian Green
Yes.
Chrissy Hoadley
And you couldn't get the number?
Brian Green
I couldn't get the number. I had 1-888- call TCB or whatever. Right. I had the best phone number ever. And we had it for, like, three weeks. And then all of a sudden, it stopped working. And I was like, oh, okay, let me get in there. And da, da, da, da, da. And then nothing. It was like, I'm sorry, this account doesn't exist. And I'm like, yes, it does. I paid, like, $600 for the lifetime use of 888, called TCP, and now I'm sorry, this doesn't exist. So then I call another phone company, and I'm like, hey, I want to port this over. And they're like, well, you don't own that. And I'm like, well, yes, I do. And they said, no, you don't. This guy, you know, John Smith in Idaho, owns it. And I'm like, no, I own it. Here's the receipt I have. And they said, well, yeah, that receipt's no good anymore because that company went bankrupt and we bought all their phone numbers and we sold it to someone else. And I'm like, well, how much to get it back? And they're like, well, we don't know. We'll call John and ask him.
Chrissy Hoadley
That's right.
Brian Green
Yeah. And John wanted, like, $6,000 for it. And I'm like, fuck John. Fuck John in Idaho. And John's probably a listener, too. John is probably the guy living in the basement. 67 years old, wants a double D hot blonde that's 28 years old to come flying in his mom's barn house door. Swear to God, John, give us our phone number back. Because I'll never change this phone number again unless I get 1-888-call-TCB back. Then I'll get the phone number back. So our dating shows, you know, we. I think we're better just reviewing them rather than trying to do that.
Chrissy Hoadley
I agree.
Brian Green
In the history of the commercial break, we reviewed all kinds. We've reviewed the Dating Game, Naked Attraction. Naked Attraction, which I have never gotten a response. Like, I've gotten. Naked response. Naked attraction response. Never. People all over the place. I love that show. I hate that show. I was eating breakfast. I was trying to eat breakfast, you know, I can't hear you. Talk about penises for another episode. I think we almost lost an employee over it.
Chrissy Hoadley
I think so, too.
Brian Green
We had Christina here. You remember Christina? She was our producer for a while. I hope she's doing well. Love, Christina.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, we were just talking about her.
Brian Green
I do miss Christina a lot. I do. I miss someone that does the hard work.
Chrissy Hoadley
That does the work.
Brian Green
Yeah, that does the work. But Christina was here, and we did that episode, and I thought to myself, let's do penises that way. You know, it's a touchy thing. It's like an HR problem. Right? I mean, she signed a contract, and it said in that contract, specifically, we talk about all kinds of shit. So if you're bothered by that. And to be fair to her, she was never bothered by any. No, she was right in there with us in the mix. But that episode, when we recorded the episode of Naked Attraction, when we just looked at penises for an hour, the look on her face told me all I needed to know. I was like, I'm either getting sued or she's quitting after this because we just looked at a bunch of penises for an hour.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, that was something.
Brian Green
We've done all kind of dating shows, and I've loved them all it's one of my favorite types of television programming, to be honest, because there's always a train wreck right around the corner.
Chrissy Hoadley
What was the one that we did recently?
Brian Green
That was the Celia Black.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, there was Celia, but there were the two, like, wrestlers. The women wrestlers.
Brian Green
Oh, that was. What show was that Was that they'd.
Chrissy Hoadley
Have their hearts on their pants.
Brian Green
Studs.
Chrissy Hoadley
Studs.
Sponsor Announcer
Studs.
Brian Green
Studs was good. Studs was good. Every. There's. Studs was on for, like, six seasons. But you can't find it anywhere because it's, like, lost in that, you know, IP rights.
Chrissy Hoadley
Oh, right.
Brian Green
You know, universe. That black hole. Because really, is Jeff Bezos going, hey, can we get the rights to Studs, where the chauvinistic host talks to chauvinistic guys who just dress down girls with their words in their eyes? Like, it's the most awkward thing you've ever seen. But we found a couple episodes and we did it and we loved it. It was really fun. It's a snapshot in time.
Chrissy Hoadley
It is.
Brian Green
But the Love Connection is the one that is closest to our hearts. It's the king of dating shows. You're right about that. Because get this. In case you haven't. In case you don't know, and I think a lot of you do, but in case you don't, in case you're young and you're listening, the Love Connection would get one person on the couch, and then they would make videotapes of three of the opposite sex. So one guy, three girls would put together these videotapes answering questions and talking about themselves. And, you know, just from the shoulders up, you know, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. And the guy would choose a girl to go on a date with, or he would let the audience choose somebody.
Darcy
To go on the date with.
Chrissy Hoadley
Both really happened. He chose, and the audience chose.
Brian Green
Well, I'm talking about, like, at first, you can either let the audience choose or you can choose. And then at the end, you can let the audience choose and you can go on a date with them. But get this. Then they give them a bunch of money. They say, hey, here's a thousand bucks. Or whatever it is. Probably back then. 500 bucks. Here's 500 bucks. Go have a date. Here's their address and their phone number.
Chrissy Hoadley
Right.
Brian Green
Pick them up.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah. People would show up other people's doors.
Brian Green
And by the way, we can't afford to send a camera crew or security out there, so you're on your own.
Ray Bennett
Good luck, Chuck.
Brian Green
What the fuck?
Chrissy Hoadley
Chuck Let loose on Newport.
Brian Green
Yes. Let Loose on, you know, they were always like, newport, Rancho, Kunkamonga, California.
Chrissy Hoadley
Southern California.
Brian Green
Yeah. All kind of shit happened. Some. Some guys spent the money before they even got to the date. So they took him to, like, you know, a porta potty. One guy. Brad. Brad. Van. Bus station. Took his date to a bus station to get candy bars out of the candy machine. Good job, Brad. A lot of times, they would end up back at the house, and they would end up doing it. A lot of times they would end.
Chrissy Hoadley
Up back or showing knee.
Brian Green
Yeah. People.
Chrissy Hoadley
The audience.
Brian Green
You get it. It was a different time. The audience would go crazy when these, like, a whiff of sex would be in the air. He got a hand job. People would pass out.
Chrissy Hoadley
They would go crazy.
Brian Green
Yeah. And they never even talked even close to explicit. It was an amazing time to be alive in America. Amazing. And this ran. Any kid who stayed home from school sick in the 90s or early 2000s. The early 90s through the early 2000s knows what love Connection is because it ran endlessly in syndication. And that's what you would watch when you were sick. Price Is Right.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yep.
Brian Green
Let's Make a Deal.
Chrissy Hoadley
Young Fucking Love Connection and the Restless for me.
Brian Green
Young and the Restless and the Love Connection and maybe Judge Wapner, if you were lucky. You got Judge Wapner. The People's Court.
Chrissy Hoadley
God, I loved him.
Brian Green
Right? All right, so let's do this. Everyone settle down. We're all getting too excited. I saw her toe.
Ray Bennett
She's got tears.
Brian Green
There's nipples under that sweater. I swear to God. Oh, my God. Imagine how farts are wonderful things. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Chrissy Hoadley
You just let fly. I love her.
Ray Bennett
Sue Johansson is the best in the West.
Brian Green
She really is. Remember that guy?
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah. Well, there's the Scaramucci, too.
Brian Green
Yeah. No, that's Dean. John Dean. Dean, yeah. Scaramucci. Scaramucci.
Chrissy Hoadley
I don't know where that came from.
Brian Green
I don't know.
Chrissy Hoadley
We're feeling loopy.
Brian Green
The guy who was a press secretary for Trump for one afternoon and then became anti Trump the next afternoon. Thanks, Scaramucci. You did us all a favor. I appreciate it. Could you at least stuck in there and then become anti Trump? Could you have been the press secretary that hates the president? That would have been so much more interesting. Now Theo Vaughn's in the front row, and we're all trying to figure out who Carolyn Levitt or whatever her name is. Fucking saying. She's screaming half the time like I am. These tariffs are working. Since no one ever. All right, we're already loopy. And it's only episode number three that we're recording today. All right, we're going to take a break now to totally turn the tables. 180 degrees. 988. If you or anyone you know is in mental distress or in crises, 988 is a free telephone line that you can call or text 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They never sleep. They never take time off. And they know. And in English and in Spanish, and they know how to get you the resources and the help that you need. Or if you just need someone to talk to, they are there, and they're there for a reason. Because everybody, everybody, Rachel will talk about this later. Oh, I want to say thank you to Rachel, by the way.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
For. For being the narrator for this entire dumb idea. I mean, she really.
Chrissy Hoadley
And our best friend.
Brian Green
Yeah, and our best friend. She's so great with the show, and we love her to death, and she's narrating all the intros to the show. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Rachel, for all that. And she'll talk about this later. But we have all been through this, all of us. If you live long enough, you're gonna have a mental health crisis of some sort. If it lasts a day, a month, or a year, you're gonna go through it. Don't do it alone. Call a friend, call a family member. Call 988, call TCB. I don't know. We're not professionals. We can't help you out. A mental health crisis. But we can say hello. And sometimes that's all it takes. It's just someone to say hello and know you're not alone. And I know that there are people out there in the commercial break audience who have been through this because you have texted us and told us so. And so whatever it takes. An episode of the commercial break. Throwing the commercial. Unfollowing the commercial break. Yeah, unfollowing the commercial break. Blocking the commercial break on Instagram. Whatever it takes, you can get through this. It's just a season. And seasons change. They always do. So take care of yourself. Take care of your head, take care of those around you. We love you. Everyone loves you. You know, I'm talking to whoever it is out there that needs this message today. Alien Light language. Receiving transmission. $39.30. All right. Okay. We're gonna take a break so we don't get off track. We'll be back with Love Connection.

Kristen Hoadley
Best to you.
Sponsor Announcer
Are you buying a home in California? Yeah. It can feel like trying to solve a puzzle with a hundred missing pieces. I remember searching for my first home, thinking, how does anyone do this without losing their mind? I wish I could go back and.
Brian Green
Tell myself that the first step you.
Sponsor Announcer
Should take is to find a realtor. They make everything make sense, from pre approvals to paperwork, from offers to closing. It's someone that you can trust that'll walk you through it all. They'll answer all the questions, even ones you don't know to ask. And when things are feeling a little bit overwhelming, you can count on them to keep you grounded. That kind of steady support, you cannot get that from going it alone or guesswork. A realtor knows the ins and outs of the California real estate market and helps turn what feels like impossible into done. Don't let what you don't know stop you from starting your next chapter. Find your realtor@championsofhome.com that's championsofhome.com.
Brian Green
Okay, Marissa is listening. And then who else is listening? Hey, Marissa. How are you doing? She's working today, I think so.
Chrissy Hoadley
A lot of people listen while they work.
Brian Green
A lot of people listen. Listen while you work. Anyway. Hi, Marissa. Good to have you on board, and I hope your day is going well. Someone just texted us halfway through episode number three. Well, you're listening to the minute. I mean, honestly listening to the minute. And in just a couple minutes, episode four will release. So there you go. Okay. As we're recording this, of course, this is not live.
Chrissy Hoadley
Okay. You're gonna confuse everybody.
Brian Green
I don't wanna confuse anybody. You are not. We are not live. We are recording this an hour ahead of time. Okay, so Love Connection. What the fuck, Chuck? Let's go back and let's revisit the guy who handed out pamphlets for a living and see how his date went. This is a short one, I think, because for liability reasons, they kept it short with him. Yeah. Next guest.
Chuck
He enjoys all types of music and loves the dance. He says that he's been.
Brian Green
Okay, hold on one second, let me turn it up a little bit so the good folks at home can hear it.
Chuck
There we go. Reading signals. And has had to slow down lately. And he claims that his part time job is.
Brian Green
Ray Bennett is his name. He's a lighting technician. Never been married. Go figure. Age 30, looks 80. Age 30, looks 60.
Chrissy Hoadley
Kind of looks like Eddie Van Halen.
Brian Green
He does look like Eddie Van Halen. You're so right about that. And I think that's part of why this clip has gone so viral. You know, we're not the only ones who have noticed Ray Bennett. As a matter of fact, on TikTok, there's a whole account called where is Ray Bennett Now?
Kristen Hoadley
Really?
Brian Green
And he showed up and I saw he's an old gray man with a mustache and bald. And he looks like an old. He looks like your dad. I mean, not your dad, but your dad. Right? That's who he looks like.
Chrissy Hoadley
Did he ever get married?
Brian Green
I don't know because the only video is just slideshow pictures of him. But clearly he's still out there and kicking. Hey, Ray. What's up, buddy? This is the greatest Love Connection appearance in history.
Chuck
Great way to meet women. Please welcome Ray Bennett.
Brian Green
Nothing like raising your eyebrows like that. Come hither. Raising your eyebrows.
Chrissy Hoadley
Hey, what's up?
Brian Green
Yeah, like you're bidding on pigs at a livestock auction. Ding, ding, ding.
Chrissy Hoadley
Solo.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Chrissy Hoadley
Oh, that's right. He's got the cowboy boots on over the jeans.
Brian Green
Cowboy boots over the jeans. That was a look for. It was. I also pinch rolled my jeans at times.
Chrissy Hoadley
Oh, me too.
Brian Green
And nothing like tucking your shirt into your acid wash jeans. He does not have the build to be wearing jeans, boots, or that shirt. He has the build to be wearing an elfin costume.
Chuck
So you have this great job that helps you meet women.
Darcy
Yeah.
Chuck
Are you a bartender, a disc jockey or a. What?
Darcy
Better.
Brian Green
No, no. Better.
Ray Bennett
Better. I hand out pamphlets on the street.
Brian Green
Better.
Darcy
I'm part time. I promote for rock and roll bands on the Sunset Strip. And I just have the option of just meeting women all.
Brian Green
Day long.
Chrissy Hoadley
I do have to say the Sunset Strip back in his. This time.
Brian Green
It'S all tits.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah. Hair, big hair, low cut shirts and short skirts.
Brian Green
Those of you who live in California and LA will know this and I know we got listeners out there will know that. Sunset Strip still to this day, rocking.
Ray Bennett
At the Sunset Strip.
Brian Green
Let's see here, hold on. Do I have a song for that? Probably. Give me a minute here. Yeah, that's the music that was het back then in the 80s. Big hair, big fake breast implants were just coming into fashion so everyone was getting them. Yeah. So here's Ray doing his best. He said he had the option of meeting ladies all day long. Didn't mean that he did that because sometimes he had other things to do. Chrissy. But let's go back and listen to that one more time.
Chrissy Hoadley
The option.
Darcy
And I just have the option of just meeting women all day long. I love it.
Chuck
Promoting rock and roll bands on the Sunset Strip.
Darcy
Yeah, you know, passing out like gizards.
Ray Bennett
Passing out flyers telling people that I'll be at the bar at 7pm if they want to come on by.
Chrissy Hoadley
Chuck's trying to figure it out with him too.
Brian Green
Yeah, Chuck with his coiffed hair is like, I don't understand. I get my escorts delivered to me.
Chuck
This is like, what is it?
Darcy
Gazaaris, the troubadour, the rocks, you know, passing out flyers all day long.
Ray Bennett
Yeah, Ghazaris, you know, famous Gaza's. You know what they say. Not at Gazaaris. So, so sorrys, sorry, it's not at Gazaaris.
Chuck
Have any of these women that you've met ever turned into a serious relationship?
Ray Bennett
No, I'm not looking for that. I'm like, I'm. I got more flyers to pass out, Chuck. I got a van to go back to. I got a van and a hamster.
Brian Green
Oh, he had a van and a hamster. I can guarantee. Superficial.
Darcy
It's superficial. But gotta tell you, if I've had like 40 or 50, like one night stands just meeting these women on a strip.
Brian Green
Yeah, yeah.
Chrissy Hoadley
He's nodding vigorously.
Brian Green
Wee, good for you. You are a rock star of. I'm not a rock star, but I live like one, chuck.
Ray Bennett
I've had 40, 51 night stands, no sex involved, but you know, they needed a place to stay. My van was parked right out front so I let them hang out there.
Chuck
Well, I won't ask you to define that. I just take your word. And you say you had to slow down.
Darcy
Yeah, usually because I'm with these women. I'm usually a Very aggressive person. But I usually now, over the years, I let them do the initiating because, you know, I've been slapped like a quibble.
Chrissy Hoadley
I've been under police because the judge.
Ray Bennett
Told me I got smooth, you know. You know, Chuck, I'm usually a very aggressive person.
Brian Green
I can see this guy in this day. I don't know about. I don't know about Ray now, but I can see Ray back in the day being the kind of guy who, if you got within 10ft of him at a bar, like, let's say you, Chrissy, went, let's transport you back to 1982. You're at Ghazari's. So sorry. Gazaaris, Atari, Gazaris. You're there. And Ray, like, you get in his. Yeah, you get in his tractor beam and he just, like a magnet, sucks to you. And he never stops talking to you. Cockblocks. Every other guy. Your girlfriends leave, they go home and he's like, guarding the door. Hey, I'm handing out flyers.
Ray Bennett
You want to see my flyers? I almost own Gazaaris times.
Darcy
It's like, whammo, whammo. And they're sitting there going. I go, what'd you do that for? He goes, I'm not ready for it. So I was just like, I let them do the initiating.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Chrissy Hoadley
Was he just saying that he had gotten slapped a few times by girls?
Brian Green
He said he. No, he actually said guy. If you listen. If you listen, he says guy. Now that's cool. Whatever. Listen.
Darcy
I was just like. And they're sitting there going. I go, what'd you do that for? He goes, I'm not ready for it. It's not just like, I let them do the initiating.
Brian Green
He said, I'm not ready for it. I'm not ready to do the initiating. Listen, whatever, you know, it's a wild time. It's the 80s. Listen, this is before you know anything. I mean, in the 80s, we didn't know anything. You just had sex with anybody you wanted to. That's the way it was. It was like a Roman bathhouse back in the 80s in the sunset strip. Chuck's like, well, yeah, how did this get past legal? How did he get past legal?
Chrissy Hoadley
Oh, yeah.
Chuck
Well, okay, let's take a look at the women that Ray had to choose from. Now, remember, you're going to pick the woman that you.
Brian Green
I think Ray's high on cocaine. Just the way he's holding himself, it looks like he's on something.
Chuck
Things best for him. First, there's Maria. She enjoys dancing and miniature golf. She thinks that there are some great places to meet men, like bars, beaches, Navy bases. She usually dates once a week.
Brian Green
Navy basis, I guess.
Chrissy Hoadley
I mean, okay.
Brian Green
I can imagine that's one of the best places to meet guys. Yeah.
Chuck
And she says that good looks are not the priority for her. And here's what.
Brian Green
Well, thank God with Ray. That's a. That's good.
Chuck
He's looking for instead.
Chrissy Hoadley
An honest, sincere person. Someone that can talk to me, doesn't have to yell at me. Can tell me whatever he wants to tell me. Because I'm gonna either take it and deal with it as I can, or the door's right there if he don't like it.
Brian Green
Maria, you seem sweet. Run.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yes.
Chuck
Next. Dawn. She works out regularly.
Ray Bennett
She stood up for herself. I told you, Bob. I told you. Women are standing up for themselves.
Chuck
Loves music. She'd like to meet a man who is talkative and considerate, with a firm chin and larger hands. We asked dawn if she usually kisses.
Brian Green
On a firm chin.
Ray Bennett
Firm chin and larger hands.
Chrissy Hoadley
Hopefully the hand is bigger than the chin.
Brian Green
Yeah. I mean, Dawn's looking for a meat wagon. She's looking for a baby arm.
Chuck
What?
Brian Green
She said.
H
If I felt it was right, you know, I really like the guy and I felt he really liked me, I would kiss him. I wouldn't do anything else. Just like a little pep or something. I don't think it's too good. You know, Go all out and start making it out on the first date. You don't even really know the person.
Brian Green
Ray says not into it. No, thank you.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, no, he was.
Ray Bennett
I got standards to uphold. What would the guys at Grizzares think if I didn't make out with a chick?
Chuck
Finally, Darcy says that sometimes she goes to nightclubs by herself. She describes herself as, quote, wild at times. She says that lately she's been losing interest in the men that she's been meeting after two weeks. Or the men that she's been meeting after. I suppose she's been with him for two weeks. It seems that a lot of guys approach her at work. And here's more on that.
Brian Green
I love that noise.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, she does work at an auto parts store.
Brian Green
This is perfect for Ray. And I think this is who he picks, if I'm not mistaken.
I
Unfortunately, you have to sift through those, too. You know, once in a while, you'll get someone who will just be completely covered with oil and grazing, and he'll just look at you. Ooh, baby, you know, will you go out with me? And I'm like, I don't think so.
Brian Green
1 900.
I
Get real.
Chrissy Hoadley
You know, 1 900, 900.
Chuck
Those are the three women Ray had.
Chrissy Hoadley
A john in Idaho owns that, too.
Brian Green
Yeah, John, probably. Yeah, that's right. John owns 888. Call TCB. And 1900. Get real.
Chuck
Time for you to decide who you would match him up with. If you'll do that.
Brian Green
Now, I know best one.
Chrissy Hoadley
I mean, the audience participation part of this was really fun. That was a huge part of the show.
Brian Green
That's what everyone got excited about.
Chuck
We come back, we'll meet the woman that Ray selected here. Everything that happened on their date, we'll do it. Two and two. Be right back at you.
Brian Green
Two and two, baby.
Chrissy Hoadley
Who coined that term?
Brian Green
Can you imagine? Back then, commercial breaks were only 2 minutes and 2 seconds long. We can't even get Rachel to do a liner in less than a minute and a half. And that's not because of Rachel. That's because of Brian.
Chuck
All right, we're back. Ray's gonna tell us who he selected.
Darcy
I picked Darcy.
Chuck
Haven't seen each other since their date. We always hear both sides, wiggly, wiggy what?
Brian Green
Well, wiggle wiggles, wiggle, wiggly. Yeah. What are you angling?
Ray Bennett
Chuck.
Brian Green
What the. Chuck. What the rc. I'll get it.
Chuck
It's wiggy, right?
Darcy
Yes, it's a wiggy.
Chuck
Yeah. Nice to have you here, Darcy. Make yourself at home back there, and Ray will start us off.
Darcy
We went on, we went to. What was it? Actually, we met up at the 7:11.
Brian Green
Ah, nothing like meeting up at the 7:11.
Chrissy Hoadley
Pick me at the 7:11 at 7. Hey, go out from there. See how things go.
Ray Bennett
Hey, it's Ray. I picked you in Love Connection. They gave me your phone number, your address, your dress size, your Social Security number.
Brian Green
What do you say we meet up.
Ray Bennett
At the 711 for a big Gulp and some Slurpees? All day long.
Darcy
Yeah, she came over at the 711 because if you live in Hawthorne, there's.
Chuck
Only Mr. Hollywood, you know, why not?
Darcy
So we met at the 7:11. And I. I looked her over. She was wearing some nice. You know, I would.
Chrissy Hoadley
Looked her over.
Darcy
She came up in the car, looked her over and had some really nice sunglasses on, driving gloves, which was kind of neat. And I go, okay, Driving glasses, Driving.
Brian Green
Gloves is what she said. Driving gloves. What is going on in Hollywood? You're at the 7:11. Ray pulls up, checks you out. You're wearing driving gloves. Hey, you want to race? What? What is this, Fast and Furious?
Darcy
I liked it.
Chuck
And what did you Think of Ray when you saw him, Darcy.
I
He was dressed really casual in shorts and like a tank top. You kind of look pretty dorky. I don't know.
Chrissy Hoadley
Shorts and a tank.
Ray Bennett
Shorts and a.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, that does fit to.
Brian Green
Yes, it does. You fit right in a 711 with shorts and a tank top. But, Ray, are we not. I thought you were the Casanova of Sunset Strip. I thought you were the Grizzares. I'm not. Sorry's Casanova. Oh, my gosh. Hey, hey, listen, I come in cash. I figure there's only. Only one way to go if I. If I'm half naked.
Chuck
All right? So why not?
Brian Green
We don't want to get into any kind of legal proceedings, so can we move this along, Ray?
Chuck
Yeah. So I saw you. What, do you jump in her car or your car?
Darcy
Yeah, we jumped to the car. And she did all the driving. She came down from Lancaster.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, she's got the gloves. Might as well do driving.
Brian Green
You don't expect not to drive if you're wearing gloves. Driving gloves, nonetheless. Driving gloves. Who wears those? Inspector Clouseau and the girl from Love Connection.
Darcy
We went down to Hermosa beach, then we found out.
Chuck
Does this seem romantic to you at all, this whole procedure?
Brian Green
Procedure?
Ray Bennett
Well, I really haven't laid on the charm yet, Chuck. I have to get a little warmed up.
Darcy
Kind of, sort of. It was like more of a friend. It was more of a friendship kind of thing.
Brian Green
It's a.
Ray Bennett
More of a friendship kind of vibe, which is, you know, most of the.
Brian Green
Vibes that I get.
Ray Bennett
Friendship kind of, you know, kind of the leave me alone vibe. Yeah, you know, the I'm not talking to you, but you're talking to me kind of vibe, you know? You know, Chuck, one way conversation, you've been there.
Brian Green
You.
Chuck
Right, Hermosa. And you're doing what?
Darcy
We went down to find a nice place to park. Then she goes, hey, you went down.
Brian Green
To find a nice place to park?
Ray Bennett
Hey, you want to go find a nice place?
Chrissy Hoadley
And also, did they just leave the car at the 7 11? I guess they did. They left his.
Brian Green
Why not? Hey, it's a different time, Chrissy. You can leave your car anywhere you want to. And I might point out that maybe you walk.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah, and his tank.
Brian Green
Probably that's why he was wearing a tank and shirt. May I remind you, both of these young folks went to the same hairstylist.
Chrissy Hoadley
They did their hair looks like the whip.
Darcy
I go, did you bring it? I go, yeah, I brought the whip. So she lifted up the trunk and she Brought out this whip and as it's in there and she starts twirling around and twirling around.
Chrissy Hoadley
What a day. 8, 7, 11 to the parking spot to whip.
Ray Bennett
I want to be a part of this so bad.
Brian Green
They needed cameras the whole time. That was one element they were missing.
Darcy
It set up a couple of Coke cans out there and she just went whammo. And it snapped it right off.
Chuck
It was great.
Brian Green
Whammo.
Chrissy Hoadley
I set up a couple Coke cans.
Brian Green
Couple Coke cans. Now we're at a. What are we, what are we doing now? We're at a rodeo.
Ray Bennett
All of a sudden.
Brian Green
I know, I guess, I don't know.
Darcy
Yahoo.
Chuck
So not just another pretty face.
Darcy
Just not a pretty face.
Chuck
So is this like a bullwhip? Like One of those 12 foot bullwhips?
I
Yeah, it's a nine foot leather bullwhip. Exactly. You get it at a feed horse and feed shop.
Chuck
You what at a horse and feed shop? Yes.
Brian Green
Yeah, one of those. Right around every corner.
Chrissy Hoadley
Especially in la.
Ray Bennett
The horse and feed shops are on.
Brian Green
Every corner at Sunset Strip.
Chuck
How does this. Are you snapping snakes as you walk down the road or what?
I
I use it for self protection, mainly.
Chuck
Self protection.
Brian Green
So let me get this straight. Bad guys come up, you're at the dark street, you pull down the wrong alley. Bad guys come up, semi automatic weapons. You say, can you excuse me for a minute while I open my trunk and get my nine foot bowhip? I got it at the horse and feed store.
Chrissy Hoadley
It's kind of wonder womanish.
Brian Green
It is. Hey, listen, I love it. I love the idea of a woman running around hit snapping guys with the bowhip. But I think this is a clear sign to Ray that he will not in fact be getting laid tonight.
Chuck
Get within 9ft of you or their.
I
Eyes, 18ft every which way. I don't really use it on anybody. I've hit myself several times.
Chuck
So. So you've had the whip demonstration. Now what? Now what happens?
Darcy
Oh, then we went down to Redondo and stuff. We had a couple of drinks down there. Then she wanted to do like shopping and stuff. So I go, I go, what do you want to shop for? She goes like skull earrings.
Chrissy Hoadley
And probably was trying to give him the hint that he needed to buy something to wear on this date.
Brian Green
Maybe she was just trying to intimidate him out of the date. She's looking for handcuffs and skull earrings.
Darcy
Yeah, kind of neat, stuff like that.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Darcy
So we went shopping around. She wanted to get this like bustier thing. I was like, like a Madonna black.
Brian Green
Boost.
Ray Bennett
Just the thought made me jizz.
Darcy
Yay thing and go. Her favorite color is black. So I go, perfect, perfect. So she would, you know, get ready.
Chuck
For the presence of all color.
Darcy
That's it. That's just.
I
No black roses. Sorry, no black roses. Every everything.
Chuck
I can write that down. So do you go someplace after this?
Darcy
Yeah, we went out dancing, a little place in Manhattan Beach. We got there early, so we're just going. All right, what do you want to do now?
Chrissy Hoadley
We'd him in his shorts and tank top.
Brian Green
Shorts, tank top. And so far all we've heard is about all the townships they've been to. Redondo, Thomasville, Manhattan Beach. Manhattan Beach, Yeah. He's one of these guys that likes to name drop the places he knows.
Darcy
Let's have a couple of shooters. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Chrissy Hoadley
Then that's what we're doing with five Hour Energy.
Brian Green
Oh yeah, two already.
Darcy
So we started dancing.
Chuck
Literally described as a two fisted drinker.
Darcy
And so we went out dancing. We're four or five songs later, we were all sweaty, panning and sticky.
Chrissy Hoadley
His hair like sweaty, stuck to the.
Brian Green
Side of his head.
Chrissy Hoadley
He's dancing hard.
Brian Green
His bald spot showing in the back.
Darcy
Dogs on the dance floor.
Brian Green
So we came in cowboy boots with shorts and a tank top. She's got her bustier and handcuffs.
Darcy
And we sat down, we're just looking at each other and just started blowing each other off, cooling us down there and start getting towels and stuff. It was kind of neat.
Brian Green
It's kind of neat. I actually talked to her. I've touched her. Touched a real live woman.
Chuck
I've never had a date like this on the show.
Chrissy Hoadley
Oh, Chuck. No one has.
Brian Green
Chuck's dumped. Yeah, no one's had a date like this.
Chrissy Hoadley
Ex.
Brian Green
Unless they've been with Ray.
Chuck
These are things that I've never heard before. So how did this date end?
Darcy
It ended about like 12:30. You know, we were both on the tired side and she had to go see her dad.
Brian Green
So when I did does not sound like an excuse to get out of the end part of the date. I gotta go see my dad.
Darcy
Dad, have her drop me off on the freeway on ramp.
Ray Bennett
I don't remember this.
Chrissy Hoadley
I don't.
Ray Bennett
He dropped me off on the freeway on ramp.
Chrissy Hoadley
So he did walk. He did walk. On 7 11.
Ray Bennett
Drop me off at the freeway on ramp.
Brian Green
Wait, stop here.
Chrissy Hoadley
Here?
Ray Bennett
I live under the. I live on the overpass.
Chrissy Hoadley
What street? No, just here on the on ramp.
Ray Bennett
No, no, no, that's my house.
Brian Green
The overpass under it.
Darcy
Really weird. It's it's great because, you know, she doesn't know her way around at all. So just like, here, just drop me here.
Brian Green
Sounds completely safe to drop you off on the side of the 101 in LA.
Darcy
A little tired. This is the way home.
Chuck
And she drops you off on the freeway on ramp.
Brian Green
Right.
Chuck
And. And you walk home.
Darcy
And I walk home. Yeah. The reason being because she doesn't. Yeah, it was.
Ray Bennett
The reason being you don't.
Brian Green
There's no explanation that makes sense here, Ray. I know you're going to try, but there's no explanation.
Darcy
Five minutes away.
I
I felt kind of strange about dropping him off at the freeway, but, you know, he insisted that I drop him off there. He didn't want me to get lost after dropping.
Brian Green
No, he didn't want you to go to his house.
Chrissy Hoadley
Exactly.
Brian Green
He didn't want you to see his van.
I
Yeah, I'm off at home and then coming back and getting lost trying to find the freeway. So it felt funny. I didn't really want to drop him off there, and I've never done that before, but.
Chuck
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone ever doing that.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, it makes perfect sense in the context of this day.
Brian Green
It really does.
Darcy
Yeah, it was. It was fine. So just a hug and a kiss on a cheek. And, you know, I didn't want to.
Chrissy Hoadley
He sneaked that boom, boom, boom.
I
I grabbed a hold of his face, turned it sideways and gave him.
Brian Green
Oh.
Ray Bennett
He tried to go in for the kiss and she turned her head.
Brian Green
She said, yeah, I understand.
Chrissy Hoadley
Well, there's nothing that says, you know, how sexy I am. Like dropping somebody off at the. But the freeway.
Brian Green
Listen, if you're so embarrassed of your house that you have to be dropped off in the most dangerous possible situation ever, that's bad news. I mean, listen, take her to the good side of town with the house. You know, the houses with the fences and the gate.
Chrissy Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
And just pretend to be pressing buttons and go. It's not working. Code's not working. Don't worry about it. I'll get it. Go on. I'll get it. Go on. Can you call me a cab just in case I have to go to my other mansion?
Ray Bennett
Have her drop you off at the nicest apartment building in Bel Air.
Brian Green
What's she gonna know? Go in the parking lot and then say bye and then walk to your house under the overpass.
Ray Bennett
You got shorts on.
Brian Green
It's not too hot.
Chuck
Let's take a look and see who the audience picked for you. I guess this worked. We're gonna Find out pretty soon they picked Darcy. 2 52%, as a matter of fact, all the way from Lancaster. If you'd like to ask her out again, we'd be happy to pay for it.
Darcy
Darcy, would you like to get some more peach margaritas?
I
I'd love to.
Chuck
Come on out, Darcy.
Brian Green
Oh, wow. She said yes.
Chrissy Hoadley
They almost seem like they go together.
Brian Green
Yeah, I guess. And once you drop someone off on the highway, you're kind of bonded for life. I think you have to go for a second time just to find out where he lives. Oh, we're the same height. That's good news because he is on the shorter side. Not that I'm hating on short guys. I'm just sharing that he's short.
Chuck
I must. I must pay you for all the. For all the verbal bravado going on here. I got a feeling that. Well, you all had a nice time anyway, so we're going to come right back with our next guest.
Brian Green
Would you like to be on? Oh, I do like, like Chuck and I did like Rey. And you know what? I got a soft spot in my heart.
Chrissy Hoadley
What is this picture now?
Ray Bennett
I don't know.
Brian Green
I don't know. It's the end of the episode. It's the end of the Love Connection episode. I guess they're gonna fill it in later.
Chrissy Hoadley
Fill in the face?
Brian Green
Yeah, it's literally cardboard. Look at it. It's got shadows. There's no AI. No AI technology there.
Chrissy Hoadley
Chrissy, the face is cut off.
Brian Green
Yeah. All right. Kevin, show that on the video. It's so we know what we're talking about here. All right. The GCB's endless trucks on. With our cowboy boots on the outside of our pants. We keep on moving along. Thanks. I see the phone's going off. It's blowing up. So thank you very much to everyone who is texting in, and maybe we'll take some calls a little bit later.
