Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Listener Appreciation & Call-In Day

[04:07]

• Bryan proclaims it “Listener Appreciation Day,” setting the episode’s interactive tone.
• A rare listener call-in is on the docket, triggered by Betty’s responses to a previous Great Wolf Lodge story.
• Betty, a listener since “the great pandemic” and a six-year staffer at Great Wolf Lodge, promises inside knowledge and “shenanigans” from her time there.

2. Ask TCB: Listener Q&A

[05:52 – 22:05]

Wildest Moments Recording the Podcast

• Krissy recalls when “part of the wall came down” mid-recording (soundproof panels falling – scared both, found in an early episode) [09:50].
• Bryan describes the time a “microphone was smoking” and they thought “the studio was on fire” [10:31].
• They joke about everyday interruptions—lawnmowers, barking dogs, kids running—but nothing ever stopped recording because of laughter (“laughing is a TCB trademark”) [15:31].

Notable Quote:

"I stood up and was like, 'We gotta get out of here! We're gonna die. Like a Great White concert!'" — Bryan [10:38]

---

Describing the Show in a Few Words

• “It’s about friendship... two friends talking like we’re at a bar, telling stories. And it’s not for everyone.” — Krissy [11:37]
• “Relatable, ridiculous, and at times redundant.” — Bryan [11:48]
• The show is “a non-linear conversation that goes all over the place” (see: frequent tangents like John Mayer/Atlanta trivia) [11:53].

---

Off-Limits Topics or Edits

• They sometimes shelve or edit bits that feel too insensitive after the fact, especially ones that accidentally toe into uncomfortable or sensitive territory, such as a “My Strange Addiction”-style video involving a sexual baby fetish.
• The “Mirika robot” segment didn’t air because it was “so depressing, not funny at all” [15:14].

Notable Quote:

“We thought it would be funny... but it didn’t turn funny when he was like, hand job, hand job. You know what I’m saying? It was like, it got a little weird.” — Bryan [14:43]

---

Dream Podcast Guests

• “Frankie B. is the gold ring of getting Internet weirdness on the show.” – Bryan [16:59]
• They marvel at viral oddballs: “Hawk Tuah girl,” and a singer with hilariously awkward, conversational lyrics (who later apparently ghosted them fearing mockery) [17:03–18:45].

---

Relationship Question Detour:

A listener asks if he should be concerned that his girlfriend, while asleep, dreamt out loud of a romantic “Brad.”

• Bryan: “First of all, I’m going hunting on all her social media for Brad connections” [21:05].
• Both agree—dreams can’t be controlled.
• Tangent: Bryan recalls vivid sex dreams about Lisa Kudrow from “Friends,” admitting “something in my brain turned Lisa Kudrow into the world’s sexiest woman” [22:16].

Notable Quote:

"Unless she brings home some of her coworkers and Brad shows up at the front door, then you might have some problems." — Bryan [23:42]

---

3. The Great Wolf Lodge: Listener Tales with Betty

[25:10 – 60:57]

Background

• Betty is a longtime listener (“since 15 episodes in”) and a six-year employee at Great Wolf Lodge.

Betty's Story Categories:

• “Karen Stories”
• “Really, Really Gross Stories”
• “Wholesome Stories”
  She offers listeners a choose-your-own-adventure, and naturally, Bryan and Krissy opt for “gross.”

---

Gross Out: “The Skee-Ball Incident”

[29:35 – 39:48]

• Heavy rain led to kids sneaking behind skee-ball machines in the arcade.
• Four 10-year-old boys egged on a friend to “drop a poop” behind the machines.
• Caught on camera, a chain-reaction occurs:
  • One poops,
  • Another throws up from the sight,
  • The area is flooded with water and biohazard.
• It took three hours to clean up, including walls.
• Bryan ponders why kids put “shit on the walls,” recalling similar horrors at highway rest stops.

Notable Quote:

“Worse on worse… one of the kids apparently throws up during the pooping.” — Betty [32:05]
“These little shitheads… I can’t even think of the minutiae.” — Bryan [34:23]

---

“How Clean ARE the Pools?”

• Bryan presses Betty for real talk.
• Betty reveals the code for a pool accident: “AFR” = Accidental Fecal Release [36:43].
• When AFR happens, the pool is shut down, chemical treated, biohazard-bagged—each pool has its own system.
• Bryan fantasizes about the mythical chemical that turns urine blue in pools; Betty doesn’t know if it’s real.

Notable Quote:

“I was like, I’m in ass water right now. That’s what I’m in. I’m in somebody else’s asshole water.” — Bryan [38:33]

---

Karen or Chaos? “The Christian Boys”

[41:40 – 50:23]

• A church youth group (matching shirts) runs riot:
  • Food fight
  • Screaming, running, throwing footballs inside
  • Chaperone utterly absent
  • Wreak havoc on a revolving lobby door: staff purposely trap them in it for a “lesson” [46:08], giving them “a few minutes of pure fear.”
  • The unruly group is confined to quarters by order of the Manager on Duty, only to sneak out again at 3am.

Notable Quote:

“The MOD [manager] goes over and… waits until the doors are in the exact spot where you can’t get out, can’t get in, and hits the emergency stop. Now, you’ve got security… just looking like freakin’ The Rock…” — Betty [47:01–48:16]

---

Service Industry Saints vs. Entitled Chaos

• Bryan and Krissy shout out often-invisible struggles of the service sector; cleaning after kids and entitled parents is “death by a thousand paper cuts.”
• They reminisce about their own (less disgusting) youthful misdeeds compared to modern “lawless” kids—Bryan: “I was one of those kids but never thought about defecating anywhere except a toilet!” [63:15].

---

Service with a Heart: Wholesome Story

[54:27 – 59:15]

• Betty spies a toddler trying to play with a MagiQuest electronic wand in water (sure to break).
• She cogitates, then procures a plush wand from Build-a-Bear (with wrist strap) so the child can safely play.
• The gesture brings joy to kid and grateful dad—“the smile on her face… makes it all worthwhile” [57:46].

---

Notable Quotes & Favorite Moments

• “People will. People. A person is good. People are bad.” — Betty [27:46]
• “We’re just talking to hot chicks and making cocktails all night long… while the guy cleaning the bathrooms makes 10% of our tips.” — Bryan [41:20]
• “I swear… I get no respect on my own show.” — Bryan [41:23]

Tone & Takeaways

• Chaotic, irreverent, and self-aware—this episode leans into the show’s signature “cheesecake factory of comedy podcast” energy, mixing outrageous anecdotes with moments of genuine sweetness (“There is a small amount of hope for our world, and her name is Betty.” — Krissy [66:14]).
• The combination of listener interaction, gross-out true tales, and playful banter is both shocking and unexpectedly heartwarming.
• The podcast’s beating heart: “It’s about friendship. And maybe a little pee-pee poo-poo.”

---

In Short:
If you want to understand what’s really going on behind the scenes at a family water park—and get an unfiltered window into the weird, wild, and weirdly touching moments of human behavior—this is the one to hear. And God bless the Bettys of the world.

TCB's colloidal collada coolers Drink it all down and go to Pound town. On this episode of the Commercial break.

[Brian Greene]

But now. And I'm trying not to pass this germaphobia onto my kids, but now when they take their shoes off in a hotel room, I'm kind of like, put your shoes back on. Put a socks on or something.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Put a socks.

[Brian Greene]

Because I know socks. Socks. I know just like everybody, every other adult knows that that carpet, if that hotel is more than a year old, has seen all kinds of DNA on it. All kinds of DNA. And I don't want anything to do with it.

[Betty]

It's a crime scene.

[Brian Greene]

So did what? It's a crime scene. I bet. I bet.

[Nick]

The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[Brian Greene]

Oh yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Chris Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris. Best of you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us on yet another episode of the Commercial Bay. Hey, listen, I want to make today all about listeners, listeners, listeners, listeners. You the listeners. I want to waste no time.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Listener Appreciation Day.

[Brian Greene]

Listener Appreciation Day. That's right. We're going to be having a listener call in later. One of our first listeners that's ever called in. I know, I am excited too. We've been texting, interacting for a while. I'm interested to find out how long she's been listening to the show. But she texted us for the first time after she heard my story about the Great Wolf Lodge. Because she is an employee or was employed by the Great Wolf Lodge. Not the same one that I went to, but there's a series of them throughout the country.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, it's a chain.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. And she was throwing a bunch of stories out there. And, you know, between me, Astrid and Christina, who I think interacted with her once or twice. I think interacted with her once or twice. It kind of bubbled up to the top for me. And I was like, oh, yeah, I would like to hear. I'd like to hear straight from the horse's ass. Exactly the kind of shenanigans that are going on.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

You know, she's got some good stories.

[Brian Greene]

I know she does. So that later on in the show. But first, it's been a minute since we. We did an ask tcb, so I thought now was a great time to do an ask tcb. In the meantime, look at how cute my. One of my daughters is. Oh, mine. You don't get to see it, listener.

[Betty]

Mine.

[Brian Greene]

That's mine. We're gonna keep my kids out of it for right now. Yeah, yeah, I think that's the best idea, actually.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Well, you tell enough stories about them.

[Brian Greene]

But I do, but I try to. I don't think I've. Maybe once or twice I've said a name. I don't give the ages. You don't even know how many children I really have.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

No.

[Brian Greene]

And I'd prefer to stay that way. Thank you very much.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I think I got a gaggle. I do say that.

[Brian Greene]

I do. I have a gaggle. Okay, so let's give some shout outs to some listeners. Let's answer their questions. What I have done is I have put together a series of questions that are specific to you and I like, about the minutiae of the show, about the actual commercial break. And I thought, oh, that's. That's a good one. So I put a couple of them together that have come over the years.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, after five years, we're catching yeah.

[Brian Greene]

After five years, we're finally catching on. First and foremost, it's kind of cold in here, so let me turn off the air conditioning.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Thank you. I was going to say, have you jacked up that air?

[Brian Greene]

Well, now that I can feel it on my feet now, and that's always pretty annoying when my feet get cold, you know?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Well, no, here's a fun fact. If your feet are warm, it really does warm the rest of your body.

[Brian Greene]

Well, here's the thing.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Same with being cold.

[Brian Greene]

Do you know that my mom did this when we were a kid? And I have done this for friends, family, and my children. Now all of your blood moves through your body. I think it's in about, like, I think it's 36 seconds. So your blood goes from your heart and back to Your heart, in, like, 36 seconds, very fast. Right. That your blood flows through your body. I think that.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, check that fact.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, let me check that fact right now. This is when we need somebody. Okay. How long does it take for the blood to flow through your body? About a minute. Okay. About a minute. It moves at 3ft per second. Wow. Your blood's really going, right? That heart's really going. Your body is a wonderland Touch my hand Kind of creepy, John Mayer, but you play guitar really good. But then you dated some teenagers, and that wasn't so hot. And then you were here in Atlantis singing songs with another guy and you forgot to give him credit on the album. Sorry about that, John Mayer. But now you're with the Grateful Dead, so I guess everything's okay. Your body is a wonderland Take my hand why, Georgia? Why?

[Betty]

That's right.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

He is from Georgia.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. It's unbelievable. So John, now. Totally, totally different tangent. Just real quick. John Mayer was a local singer songwriter here in Atlanta, and he had another writing, singing, songwriting, writing partner that he would go and do gigs with here in Atlanta. And the scuttlebutt was from people around that other guy. And that other guy was that John went and took some of the songs, some of the tunes that they had created together, and he made it into that very first, very famous, very popular album with Wonderland and Georgia. Why Georgia, Why? That was unlike a lot of what John had done here in Atlanta, which was very bluesy, rocky kind of thing. Now he's come back to his roots. He is an excellent guitar player, by the way. Excellent guitar player. I really enjoyed the way he plays guitar. But the scuttlebutt was is that. Oops. Forgot to. Forgot to. Forgot to mention that guy. Yeah, forgot to mention that guy. But who knows if that's true or not true. And I would imagine that if it was true, they've settled that score long since. Like, there's been some lawsuit that got settled or something.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Definitely.

[Brian Greene]

Or John just did the right thing because he does seem like a nice guy. Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

No, he really does.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, he dated some young girls. But then, I know. Who hasn't? Apparently, everybody on Love is Blind has. So there you go. And I'll follow up on that on the next episode. We'll talk about Love is Blind.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, you gotta get caught up.

[Brian Greene]

I know. I was saying, you know, this other guy was so emotionally mature and such a good guy. And then I read some stuff online that maybe indicated he wasn't. So the blood in your body moves at one. At all through your body in one minute. And your wrists have these major arteries that go through them. You know, we all know that. And so if you put a cool, damp cloth or coal or ice on your wrists when you're extremely hot, or warm water when you're extremely cold, in about a minute, your body will be warmed up because the blood is moving through there. So it warms up your blood. So there you go. Little tip from Brian. Now you know.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Also socks.

[Brian Greene]

Now you. Yeah, also socks. And turn off the air conditioning, Brian.

[Betty]

Okay.

[Brian Greene]

All right. So Dave from Chicago asked. Hey, Dave, thanks for listening. What is the wildest or most unexpected thing that has happened while recording an episode? Well, I know this. I think I know this one.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I thought one right off the bat.

[Brian Greene]

Which is what it was when we.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

First started out and we were recording in the other room. And while we were recording, like, a part of the wall came down.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yes. Oh, that was pretty wild, too. Yes. We had some soundproof panels on the wall taped on the wall, and a couple of them fell at one time. And it scared the holy shit out of both of us. And I think it's still in the episode. It might be like episode number six or seven. I mean, or maybe not six or seven, but 30 or something like that. I thought about the time I got to say this carefully because I want to make sure I don't say too much, but I thought of the time when all of the sudden the microphone was smoking.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh, yes.

[Brian Greene]

And we thought the studio was on fire and we were freaking out.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Smoke was just pouring out of the microphone.

[Brian Greene]

And I stood up and I was like, we got to get out of here. We're going to die. Like a White Snake concert. Great White. Sorry. Like a Great White concert. I think that would be it. I mean, you know, there's.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

There's always the lawnmower outside or blue barking, your gaggle of kids running around. But those are too crazy.

[Brian Greene]

Couple times when I've literally stopped recording because I'm supposed to. I was supposed to have been on a conference call or something like that. Yeah, like, oh, hey, everybody stop. I gotta. I'll be back in an hour.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And then there's the times we've recorded without actually hitting the record button.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I mean, there's. But besides that, there's been not like anything too, too, too crazy. Jennifer asks. No indication of where Jennifer is. If you had to describe the show to someone that has never heard it before using only a couple of words, what would they be? Tcb. It's about friendship.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I've been trying to figure that out for five years. Jennifer.

[Brian Greene]

We don't know. We don't know.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

It's two friends talking like we're at a bar. We're telling stories. And it's not for everyone.

[Brian Greene]

It's not for everyone. I think it's a good one.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Somehow we have a listener base.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. I think it's relatable, ridiculous, and at times redundant. I mean, I think those are the three words that I would use. It's like, you know, it's, you're a fly on the wall and a friendship that's existed for a very long time. And we're always. It's like you and your friend getting together. It is a non linear conversation that goes all over the place. Right.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

One person says one thing, it takes you off and it holds a whole different tangent. I. E. John Mayer.

[Brian Greene]

John Mayer putting ice on your wrists. And now listener questions. That all happened in the first seven minutes of the show. Okay, hold on one second. Give me one second. I want to make sure I credit this one, but it's on a different app. Terry, Terry says, has there ever been a topic or a joke that was too outrageous to talk about or make in an episode? Would you be willing to share it here? Well, no, because it was too outrageous to say then. It's not going to be okay to say it now. I think there have been times when we have not aired episodes or parts of episodes because upon further review, they felt insensitive or maybe it cut too close to the bone, like we were talking about a topic that maybe we should have waited a little while to talk about it, I guess would be the best way to put it.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I can remember that. Yeah, yeah. But you know, I mean, it's so funny because I was talking to somebody about this and they said, you know, is there anything that, like it's too embarrassing or whatever you want to talk about? I was like, I used to feel that way, but not now. It's all out there.

[Brian Greene]

It's all out there.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I'm numb to it.

[Brian Greene]

So I don't think there's anything that we personally feel is off limits. I mean, obviously there are some things about our family members that we want to try and protect. The people who didn't volunteer to be on this stupid fucking show. But as far as our own personal inner workings or inner thoughts are concerned. Go back and listen to 700 episodes of the commercial break. There isn't too much in my life you haven't heard about. And there might be a few Stories, but it's just for reasons to protect other people who were involved in them who may not want those conversations had. But there are topics that we have talked about where we felt afterward. I can. I'll think of one and I'll just. I'll just share the topic and then you'll know is that we frequently, especially in season two and three, we would do videos, a lot of videos. And one of our favorite kind of videos to do was My Strange Addiction or something along those lines, you know, and we found one about a guy who liked to be a baby and he wanted to be a baby. And. But it was a sexual fetish. Yeah. And we felt that was very uncomfortable. It was very uncomfortable. We did the entire episode, and then we felt afterwards that fetishizing, you know, sexual behavior in this manner involving babies. Yeah, it didn't.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Even if that's the guy, it didn't.

[Brian Greene]

Sit well with us. Yeah, it wasn't a very funny episode because Chrissy and I were kind of like, we thought it would be funny. Goo Goo Gaga, Pee pee, poo poo. But it didn't turn funny when he was like, hand job, hand job. You know what I'm saying? It was like, it got a little weird, suck on your tits, hand job kind of thing. I was like, I don't know. There's another one that we just recently did where Mirika, the world's most advanced robot. Oh. Was on. And we may run part of this in the future. It wasn't that it was too outrageous. It was so depressing.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

It was so depressing that it didn't.

[Brian Greene]

End up being a very funny episode. Chrissy and I were kind of like, oh, this.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

It was a robot infused with AI and it was certain.

[Brian Greene]

Dude.

[Betty]

Frightening.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

It was literally frightening. I mean, I was still thinking about it. I think it took me an hour to get home that day, and I was still thinking about it after I got home.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, I was thinking about it for a week. I was. Yeah. Same guy asks, what's a moment from the podcast that made you laugh so hard you had to stop recording? We've never stopped recording because we're laughing too hard. That's. That's also an ear. A trademark of the commercial break is that we laugh a lot on this show. I think Covid Christmas.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

The COVID Christmas Castle Waffle House. I. I think I peed a little bit.

[Brian Greene]

Did you really? Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And then the Waffle House.

[Brian Greene]

Waffle House was pretty funny.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Was really funny. And there's been some other. There's definitely what was. God. Well, I think Carl.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, Carl was really funny.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Carl, when you first.

[Brian Greene]

We first started talking about Carl and I was doing the voice.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Hey, girl.

[Brian Greene]

Hey, girl. Hey, girl. I can't go preaching on a full dick. That was pretty funny. Yeah. And there's even recently there was one that I can't remember what we were laughing about. It happens all the time.

[Disclaimer Voice]

It does.

[Brian Greene]

We're always laughing hard.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Even on our. Or on or off the microphone.

[Brian Greene]

That's right. On or off the microphone. A lot of times we don't even catch the funniest stuff because we're just talking about it here in the studio. And Jane asks if you could bring any bizarre, obscure, or Internet personality on as a guest. Who might it be and why? Well, this. I find these all the time. I would love to bring a lot of these people on, but I think at the end of the day, Frankie B. Is like the gold ring of getting.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

We've said we don't want to have him in here because it's like, don't meet your heroes.

[Brian Greene]

That's right. Right, dummy. Your heroes. I have asked a guy to come on who made the rounds over the summer. I think that. I think it's. It's. The popularity has faded because I don't see as many of his reels out there now. But he's a guy who makes music and he sings songs about his ex girlfriend, but he doesn't. But the lyric. His voice is not good. The music is not great. It's very nonlinear. But the problem is all of that stuff, I think you could auto tune your way into something. The lyrics that he writes are not really lyrics. They're like conversations that he's had with his ex girl. He'd be like, you know, I broke up with you, or you broke up with me because you said we didn't do fun stuff. But that one night I was on the couch with you. We were watching Netflix, and it was really great because Love is Blind is our favorite show. Not a bit of irony. The guy was not Joe. This wasn't a joke. This was like he was singing these songs, but he was just talking. Like the lyrics were just him talking. And everybody went crazy. I mean, he had hundreds of thousands of views on these videos and these songs. And I tried desperately to get him on, but I think at the end of the day, he probably listened to the show and was like, yeah, I'm not going on to be made fun of. That's not gonna happen. There's lots of Internet. I Mean, I think hawktua girl would be someone that I would bring on the show though. She's not obscure, she's pretty popular. She's pretty famous, let's put it that way. But I would love to get in her head because Hawk to a girl. Let's. Or who's the girl who does the. What's her name? The girl that does the crazy dancing and drinking that I. I don't know. Anyway, you get it.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

There's plenty of them out there.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. But there's one specifically we've been talking about a lot, but now I can't remember her name because we haven't talked about her in a while. Talking about hawk to a girl I think would be an interesting Internet celebrity to feel like.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I've seen so much about her though. I don't know what we else we could uncover but.

[Brian Greene]

Well, I just like to dig in to not only what a shit show hawk to a coin was and all the things that she is hacking as hawk to a girl from, you know, beats on a beat website. Like she literally has her own beats.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh really?

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, she makes her own beats like drops to the altcoin to the meme coin to the T shirts.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

She may not be legally able to talk about the coins.

[Brian Greene]

Well, she has been talking about. She showed back up and she did a podcast, her own podcast where she brought on some people to grill her about this and she. There was no. Nothing else was answered. She didn't. She just kind of dodged all the questions. But even the people who were there, as you know, crypto experts were like, dude, this was a total rug job. Like you really screwed a lot of people here. But what I think is more interesting, the angle that is more interesting is what it's like to get so famous so fast and how you handle that. She like got a dusty agent at WME and then they sign her to a big podcast deal and this all happens basically overnight. She goes from complete obscurity to someone that everybody knows. And that's got to be a hard thing to do. Okay, so that's all the listener questions about the commercial break. But now here, let me give you one that is a relationship question. My. This is Brad, I guess is his name. My girlfriend talks in her sleep and a couple of nights ago she had a full blown romantic conversation. Oh no, his name isn't Brad. Excuse me, he doesn't give his name. She had a full blown romantic conversation with a guy named Brad. I don't know who Brad is. She swears she has no idea who he is. But now I am stuck wondering, do I confront her about the dream boyfriend or just accept that I am in a weird love triangle with her subconsciousness? That is an interesting question.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

It is. Because, I mean, you can't really be jealous because she's talking in her sleep. Brad could be somebody from a show she watched earlier.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, true. First of all, I'm going hunting on all her social media for Brad connections. Right. That is happening.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I mean, once is one thing, too, but if it's. If it's like every night.

[Brian Greene]

Every single night. Yeah. If it's happening more than once.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. If Brad's making a repeat appearance.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. If there is a guy making a repeat appearance, then he definitely is in her head. And for some reason. Yeah. You might want to dig in and listen. You can't control your subconsciousness. As much as I'd like to say that I have never dreamed about another woman since I met Astrid, that's not true. Right. Because. And I can't control it.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I had one last night about Jack White.

[Brian Greene]

About Jack White. Oh, was Jack White giving you the Slinky Seven?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Well, we weren't, like, you know, doing anything. Yeah, but I was, like, at a concert, and I was meeting him and talking to him. We were friends, and he was, like, getting me backstage, and it was a whole thing.

[Brian Greene]

And then he was touching your boobs, I think.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Cause we were talking about the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Probably. Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Well, listen, stuff can slip into the subconscious.

[Brian Greene]

Yes. When I first met. When Astrid first came here to live with me, when we got married, I had a series of dreams over the course of a month about Lisa Kudrow from Friends. You did.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

You told me about that.

[Brian Greene]

I was so. It was as if Lisa Kudrow and I had actually had sex.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I remember you telling me that.

[Brian Greene]

Yes. And I was so weirded out. I could not get her out of my head. And I gotta be honest, I wasn't a huge Friends watcher when it came out. I have not done the rewatch. I've probably seen a lot of episodes by default. Cause it's been everywhere forever. But Lisa Kudrow is the last of the girls. Yeah. It was not the one. It was Jennifer Aniston every time. I mean, and I wasn't even all that attracted to Courtney Cox. But she might be the second. It's not that Lisa wasn't attractive. Of course she was. But something in my brain turned Lisa Kudrow into the world's sexiest woman. But not Lisa Kudrow now, or Lisa Kudrow, the actress? The girl from Friends. Phoebe. Right. She was Phoebe. It was Phoebe and that smelly cat. And we were having sex, like multiple times in my dreams. And it was really weird, and I could not get it out of my head. For a couple of weeks this went on. So you can't control your subconscious? Obviously. I'm not sleeping with Lisa Kudrow, but, you know, or Phoebe, either of them. I wish I could. I will tell you right now that I don't think you can control your subconscious. So if she's telling you that I don't know who Brad is and I have no idea why I'm saying his name, I'd take that on face value and just. Just, you know, run with that. Right.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Unless you go to an office Christmas party and you meet Brad Boss.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, that's right. Unless she brings home some of her co workers and Brad shows up at the front door. Hey, I'm Brad. I work next in the office, next to your wife. Then you might have some problems, but okay. All right, listen, we got to get Betty on the phone. Betty works for or worked for. We'll get some clarity on that for the Great Wolf Lodge. She's got a few stories to share with us. These may be cautionary tales. I'm telling you what I'm not trying, by the way, I'm not trying to poo poo on the Great Wolf Lodge. It's a great place to take the kids and kill a day or two or whatever it is.

[Betty]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

But we all know what goes on. And let's not try and pretend Great Wolf Lodge is something that it's not. And I've told you about my story. I'd like to hear about other people's experiences, especially insider. Insider. Someone that works there. So let's take a break and when we get back, we'll talk more about it.

[Rachel]

Let me do something Brian has never done.

[Betty]

Be brief.

[Rachel]

Follow us on Instagram at the commercial break. Text or call us 212-4333, tcb. That's 212-433-3822. Visit our website, tcbpodcast.com for all the audio, video and your free sticker. Then watch all the [e-mail] thecommercial brick and finally share the show. It's the best gift you could give a few aging podcasters. See, Brian, that really wasn't that difficult, now, was it? You're welcome.

[Brian Greene]

And taking a listener phone call now. Betty from the Midwest is here with us.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Hello, Betty.

[Brian Greene]

Hi, Betty.

[Betty]

Hey, guys.

[Brian Greene]

Hey. Well, thanks for calling in. We certainly do appreciate it. Betty was texting us because Betty was explaining that at one time she actually worked for Great Wolf Lodge. Oh, Inside knowledge inside the inside scoop of the Great Wolf Lodge. And I said, you have to call in because I have to hear more about the inner workings of the Great Wolf Lodge. One of my least favorite vacations that I've ever taken. But it wasn't the worst vacation I've ever taken, that's for sure. But you gotta understand, as an adult with small children, it was a little strange to see full grown adults sitting at the bar boozing themselves greatly to great effect, while everybody else ran around, you know, peeing in the pool. Peeing in the pool. So tell us, Betty, first of all, thanks for being a commercial break. Listen. One of the few commercial break listeners out there willing to say that they actually listened to the commercial break.

[Betty]

Hey, you know, I was. I advertise your stickers on my water bottle.

[Brian Greene]

Whoa.

[Betty]

So the 21. Yeah, I gotta get. No, I. I actually. You know, I don't. I don't actually have the stickers.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, you don't?

[Betty]

I don't. I don't. I don't know what happened to them.

[Brian Greene]

We'll send you some more.

[Betty]

Please do. Please do. Because I'll text you my address.

[Brian Greene]

Okay, text us your address. And then Astrid will be happy to send you some pictures. I mean, some stickers, so. And pictures. Astrid likes to sen Listeners pictures, but maybe you're not her flavor. I don't know. How long have you been listening to the show?

[Betty]

Since the great pandemic. Very long time. I think I started when you guys were maybe 15 episodes in.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, when we were 15 episodes in. You're kidding me.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Thank you for sticking with us.

[Brian Greene]

Wow, Betty, I had no idea that you were listening for that. I had no idea anybody was listening for that.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Those people had all gone.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, we figured people had turned. Turned over many times. Wow.

[Betty]

No, I stuck around.

[Brian Greene]

Okay. So how long did you work with the Great Wolf Law? I mean, how long have you been associated with the Great Wolf Lodge?

[Betty]

I am on my sixth year.

[Brian Greene]

You're on your sixth year. And let's start with this question. Do you think people are absolutely the worst after working for the Great Wolf Lodge for six years?

[Betty]

Let me just say, people will. People. A person is good. People are bad.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, that's a good way of putting it.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, I can see that.

[Brian Greene]

So in other words, when you're interacting with just one person, they tend to be nice. But when a group of people is together, they're dismissive and, like, the group think mentality takes over and people start becoming real shitheads. Is what I experienced at the Great Wolf Lodge also. Yeah. Is that everyone just kind of went wild. Like, they went wild when they couldn't get their pizza in five minutes. But it was everybody working everybody else up is really what was going on. What is. So.

[Betty]

Yes, it's a peer pressure type of thing.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I think it's, you know, I think it's well documented. Groupthink mentality takes over and people. You know, one person gets irritated. It can. That energy can literally pass on to the next person.

[Betty]

Yeah. So it's us.

[Brian Greene]

So tell me, give me, like, a little slice of some of the experiences that you've seen from the Great Wolf Lodge that would make us all turn our stomachs.

[Betty]

Well, I've got. I've got three categories for you.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

Okay. It's gonna be like Jeopardy. You can do Karen stories.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

We can do really, really gross stories.

[Brian Greene]

I like those too.

[Betty]

Or a really wholesome story.

[Brian Greene]

Okay. Why don't you do this? This. Why don't you give us one? Let's start in. Let's do it in this order, and we'll see if we have enough time to get through three. Why don't you go gross, Karen? We'll end it on a high note with wholesome.

[Betty]

Okay. All right. So I have permission from my co workers to tell you their stories too.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Gross.

[Brian Greene]

Ooh, we've got a. This goes deep. It's a conspiracy.

[Betty]

I've been collecting them.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, my God, I love this.

[Betty]

So one of my co workers got a call on the radio that somebody had pooped behind the skeeball machine in the arcade.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh, no.

[Betty]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

How do you get behind a skeeball machine?

[Betty]

So this is the thing. So you're gonna imagine that it's downpour rain.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

Okay.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

We've got water coming in underneath the doors. So they had moved one of the little Blocked the screens that block the view of the mate of one of the emergency exits.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

So there's like a little passageway behind skeeball machines for maintenance, for emergency exits.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

So there's a group. There's a group of about four boys, and they have this on. On camera. There's a group and they're playing skeeball, and they're doing the basketball thing in the arcade. And suddenly they disappear from the screen. They found a way to get behind the skeeball machine. Okay. And it's dark back there and dusty and whatever else. And you have. No. Yeah, it's probably full of trash. So he just apparently just pulls his pants down and just poops.

[Brian Greene]

Just shits right there. Oh, yeah. How old is this kid? Are these like 10 year olds?

[Betty]

Yes. Yeah. Give or take.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

That's the worst. I was. I was little.

[Betty]

Yeah, they're not little. They're just too involved and they can't go across the. The. The.

[Brian Greene]

The hallway to poop to get.

[Betty]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, my God.

[Betty]

Okay, so worse. Worse on worse. Okay.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

The four of them back there are apparently all together. They're all involved in this.

[Brian Greene]

They're all encouraging this kid to shit on the floor, essentially.

[Betty]

Yes. Yes, exactly. And you know, it's loud in there. You can't hear a damn thing.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, no. Lights, noises, Bells whistling, loud music, you know, splashing.

[Betty]

It's.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, it's very loud in that place.

[Betty]

It is. So one of the kids apparently throws up during the pooping.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh, God.

[Betty]

So now you've got water coming in from the. From the emergency exit. You've got kids in there playing in the. In the park, you know, in the. In the arcade. And then suddenly it's poop and puke.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, God. This sounds like, you know, Venice after flooding. This is like. This sounds really fucking gross.

[Betty]

So, Betty, it's like you thought the pool was bad. Oh, the carpets are terrible.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, no. I said this the second that I walked into that place. It had carpeting, which in general, in hotel rooms, I have learned. You know, it used to be that when I was a kid and we got to a hotel room, it was the best thing in the world. The smell of chlorine and bleach and the pool. Like something about a hotel just got all of us brothers so excited. We love to stay at a hotel. We take our shoes off and run around the hotel room like every kid would. But now, and I'm trying not to pass this germaphobia onto my kids, but now when they take their shoes off in a hotel room, I'm kind of like, put your shoes back on. Put a socks on or something.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Put a sock.

[Brian Greene]

Because I know socks. Socks. I know just like everybody, every other adult knows that that carpet, if that hotel is more than a year old, has seen all kinds of DNA on it. All kinds of DNA, and I don't want anything to do with it.

[Betty]

It's a crime scene.

[Brian Greene]

So DID was. It's a crime scene.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I bet.

[Brian Greene]

I bet. So did. Was management alerted quickly? Was this situation taken care of quickly or did it take some time to figure out what had happened or was the like security keeping an eye on these boys?

[Betty]

She told me it took her three hours to get it cleaned up completely to standard.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh my God, your poor co worker.

[Brian Greene]

Your poor co worker. These are the people.

[Betty]

So we, we do have like a little hand held carpet cleaner.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

Kind of like, like your little bissell, your spot type of thing. It's loud. Okay. Because it has to, it has to be.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, yeah.

[Betty]

But she, she said she had to refill it like six times.

[Brian Greene]

Oh my God. I just can't even think of the minutiae. Those little shitheads, those little fucking pots.

[Betty]

And. And she said she had to wipe it off the walls.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Ah, ah.

[Brian Greene]

That's the worst. You know, I don't like sometimes when you're on a road trip and you stop at the rest stop. You know, generally, if most, if the rest stops are maintained, generally there's like a 24 hour that's there, that's cleaning. God bless those human beings who are doing that because that is the worst of the worst. But what gets me every time I go to a truck stop or rest stop or whatever it is, what gets me is not that people shit, that it smells bad or whatever, that's everybody shit stuff on the walls. It's the shit on the walls. And I'm like, how did you, how possibly could you have gotten it up there? How did that happen? You have to purposefully be aiming in that direction or something. I don't know. Because I have never been one that ever thought about shooting shit on a wall. It's fucking disgusting. That is crazy.

[Betty]

Little monkeys. Yeah, they're like little monkeys.

[Brian Greene]

They are little monkeys. 10 year olds.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

So did those kids get kicked out of the Great Wolf Lodge? Did someone. Was there any conversation with the boy? Because I mean, I imagine if security has it on camera then you can. You have an idea of who did it, right? You see their picture?

[Betty]

That depends because you're all on wristbands. So identifying somebody. If they don't give a proper name, we can't know what room they're in. Unless.

[Brian Greene]

Got you, you have wristbands and plus.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I wonder how long it was until it was discovered. I'm sure they didn't come.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't like.

[Betty]

No, it was not. And they're not gonna tell anybody.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, that. But this is the best story they've ever told as a 10 year old. They're all running around school Telling the story of about the time little Timmy, I'm sure, shit on the wall of the skeeball machine in Great Wolf Lodge. Can I ask you a question while we're on Pee pee poo poo.

[Betty]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

How clean are those pools? Is it like the people who work there, do they have a general understanding that. I mean, I understand there's a ton of chlorine in those pools. Like, a ton. You can sell it burns your nose, Right. And I'm sure they keep those chlorine levels at. At such high levels that no bacteria could survive more than a couple seconds. But is it just how many times a day do little kids shit in the pool?

[Betty]

We actually have a code for it.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, of course you do. What's the code?

[Betty]

So we have an afr, which is accidental fecal release.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Accidental fecal release.

[Brian Greene]

I love it.

[Betty]

And they'll. They'll do an all call on the radio, and so whoever here has the radio will hear. Pool is. This certain pool is closed for an afr.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, my gosh.

[Rachel]

We will be.

[Betty]

We will radio you when we're back open. Yeah, so they'll take. They'll do that. They'll do, like, a full half an hour treatment. Oh, everybody's out of the pool. Everybody gets out of the pool. There's nobody allowed. They have to do the chemicals. They have to get the nets. They have to get the biohazard bags, and they have a specific place for all that. Wow.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. I was gonna say, because you can't really drain the tool. You got to get it out of.

[Brian Greene]

There and then cycle it. Yeah. To put chemicals in it.

[Betty]

And nobody's. Nobody's gonna touch that, so.

[Brian Greene]

No, of course not. This isn't Caddyshack. When they. When you have an afr. An accidental fecal release. If Tina's laughing so hard when you have an accidental fecal. It's making me laugh. When you have an accidental fecal release in one. So the Great Wolf Lodge that I came to here or I went to here in Georgia, there is the wave pool. There is the kid pool. There is the, you know, water slides. I'm sure they're all very similar in that sense. When you have a AFR in one pool, does. Does everybody have to get out of the entire Great Wolf Lodge water park? Does everybody just have to leave or. Just that pool? It's just that pool.

[Betty]

Just that pool.

[Brian Greene]

Okay. And they all have their separate filtration systems, so. Okay. Okay, good. Okay. That's. All right. All right. Somebody's. Somebody's working on it. Listen, you know, it wasn't the most like I, and I think I mentioned this on the show where I talked about my experience with Great Wolf Lodge. It wasn't the messy place. It was well kept. It was just seeing some of the people that were running around in there. One 10 year old boy running around literally with his ass hanging out in the water. I was like, I'm in ass water right now. That's what I'm in. I'm in ass water. I'm in somebody else's asshole water right now. And that kind of skeeved me out a little bit. Has Great Wolf Lodge ever considered putting that chemical in the pool that turns pee a different color like that?

[Betty]

I don't know.

[Brian Greene]

That would be a good idea.

[Betty]

I don't know.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Is that real or is that a myth?

[Brian Greene]

It's real. You can get that. You can get it at the pool store, but there's like, it doesn't work in all circumstances. And it has to be at high levels of concentration. You can put it in the pool and it'll stay, it'll stay there for like 30 minutes. But if it. And then it eventually gets filled, the chlorine overtakes it and whatever. I don't know. There's some technical shit. Okay, that is a pretty disgusting story. I'm thoroughly grossed out. I hate pee pee poo poo. And I definitely dislike puke. And God bless the people who have.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

To clean that up.

[Brian Greene]

Do you hear me, listener? I don't imagine anybody at TCB who's listening to tcb. I like to think of our listeners as a very pragmatic, common sense kind people who don't. Who aren't adding to the drama of the universe. But if there's one of you out there or you have little shitheads that are running. You have little yous that are running out there acting like you. Can you please put a cap on the bullshit? Because somebody out there in the universe has to clean up after your little chitlins. And no one wants to clean pee pee poo poo off of the skeeball machine. No one. But that's somebody's job. That is somebody's job.

[Betty]

Them we're not making much, right?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I was gonna say, God, if there's those situations, you almost need like an instant bonus.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I would think so. It always gets me that like the people who do the most amount of work for us in the service industry are the people who are likely to get paid the least. You know what I'm saying, like, I'm not complaining because I was a bartender, but bartenders can bring home 100, 200, $300, maybe more in a night, depending on what restaurant you own. And we're just talking to hot chicks and making cocktails all night long. Right, but the guy who's cleaning, the busboy, who's cleaning up all the tables and the bathrooms and all that other stuff is making, like, 10% of our tips. Right? It always seemed a little bit. I guess that's just the way of the world. Okay, so tell us. I don't want to go on a tangent. Not while you're here. Betty, I'm trying to. I'm trying to be nice while you're here. Okay, so now that's a change.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

That's right. There she goes. She's got it.

[Brian Greene]

I get no respect on my own. Show no respect. But I guess I have no one to blame but myself.

[Betty]

No, you're good.

[Brian Greene]

Okay, so now tell us a. Tell us a Karen story, because, God, do I love Karen's stories.

[Betty]

Okay, so I texted you these two, and I'm gonna have you choose, because we'll do a part two if you want.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

I can do the birthday cake. Karen.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

Or the Christian boys.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, God. We want to do both of them. Okay. Do the Christian boys first. Let's do Christian boys first.

[Betty]

So you're talking a. A group of at least 10 boys.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

They're ranging in that same 10 to 13 age. Okay. So apparently they were awarded this great wolf trip for something in their youth group. They're all wearing matching shirts. They. They're just, you know.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Betty]

You know. You know where they're. Where they're from.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. So little Hitler youth. Yeah. Okay, go ahead.

[Betty]

Yes. Yes. Think cult. So they are a menace to society. They're running around screaming. Okay. They're throwing an actual football in the building across the. The golf course.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, my God. I'd be. I'd be mad. I'd be so mad.

[Betty]

Yeah. Because, like, if it hits you. Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

Or. Or a child or whatever. It's just. It's just rude.

[Betty]

Or you could break something.

[Brian Greene]

Of course. Yeah.

[Betty]

So there's. There. This is also video evidence. So they get their food. Okay.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

And proceed to have a food fight.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh.

[Betty]

Little motherfuckers. We had to go up there and clean those table areas.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

And it took hours because there's just pizza ground into the floor. There's salad, there's ranch dressing, there's soda. It looked like somebody had just literally flipped the table there's chairs knocked down. There is only one chaperone visible, and he's on his phone.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh, God. Of course.

[Brian Greene]

I bet this happens every day at Grave Wolf Lodge. That there is a group of shitty children and the parents are just as. Yeah, they're just as shitty. They're just not. They're not paying attention. If my son is throwing food in a public area, if one of my kids is doing that, this the. I'm going to yank it.

[Rachel]

Not.

[Brian Greene]

I'm going to jerk that knot right out of their tail, and they're going to be up in the room for the rest of the vacation.

[Betty]

We only wish that had happened.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Exactly. I'm sure they continued to terrorize the place.

[Betty]

They're running down the hallways. They're screaming. It sounds like somebody's being murdered in the building.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, my God.

[Betty]

So we have that long hallway we call Main street where you have your. Build a bear your Dunkin Donuts, stuff like that.

[Brian Greene]

Yep.

[Betty]

They're. They're running down there. We're thinking they're going to slip. They're going to fall. We're going to have a big, you know, incident. Code 3.

[Brian Greene]

Code 3 is a medical emergency.

[Betty]

Yes. Of, like, serious nature where you have to call an ambulance.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. There'd be a code 3. Fist up one of these kids asses. Yeah.

[Betty]

Busted nose, you know, bro. You know, broken bones, blood everywhere. That's what we're thinking. Right. So they head into the lobby and we've got that revolving door, right?

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

And this is also middle of winter, so the door is not revolving very fast. It's pretty slow. And people will complain because that's what people do. But these. These. These boys are in there, maybe four of them on each side, you know, of the doors. And they're pushing it. They're pushing the doors. Now, our revolving door, when you touch it, it will automatically stop.

[Brian Greene]

Fair enough. Safety. Safety feature.

[Betty]

Yeah. So. So you got people pushing on it, trying to put, you know, get it to open and, like, it's not going to do that if it can't see you. The motion detector, if it can't see you, it's. It doesn't care if you're in there.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

You know.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

You have to stay in view of that motion sensor in order for the doors to not stop. Wow. Simple common sense.

[Brian Greene]

So now they have four of them on in each one of the. Like, you know, there's 10 or 12 kids. Yeah. And four kids in each section.

[Betty]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

So I can only imagine the doors are just stuck because These shitheads keep. You know, there's four of them in there and they can't not.

[Betty]

They're trying to push it. They're stopping it on purpose and then letting it go and then, you know, pushing on the door to make it go faster. So they're like, you know, just screaming in there. They're pounding on the. On the glass. They're like, we're gonna. They're gonna break something. So the manager of the day, or manager on duty, the mod, he's. He's done. He's finished. It's. These kids are.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I swear, they've gone too far.

[Brian Greene]

They've gone too far. It's enough. Yes. Where are the parents? Where are the parents?

[Betty]

There are no parents.

[Brian Greene]

Exactly. Where's the chaperone? And now they're causing drama and inconveniencing and making other people upset because no one is there to tell them how to act like fucking human beings.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And here. They're from a church group?

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, they're from a church group.

[Betty]

Yeah, exactly. So the mod goes over and does the perfect thing. So he waits until the doors are in that exact spot where you can't get out, can't get in. And he hits the emergency.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

Sweet.

[Betty]

Now, the thing is about. This is the emergency stops. There's one on the inside and one on the outside.

[Brian Greene]

Okay.

[Betty]

So you've got the two side doors that you can use to get access to the outside.

[Brian Greene]

Yep.

[Betty]

If the emergency. If the. If the revolving doors are not working. So he gives them about five minutes and they're just kind of like. They're like. You can see them start to panic a little bit. You know, they're like, why isn't.

[Rachel]

What's going on?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

What's going on?

[Betty]

And then you got security. Yeah, you've got security there. You've got mod. And they just got their arms crossed and they're looking like freaking the Rock, you know.

[Brian Greene]

Wow.

[Betty]

They got their eyebrow up. They're just looking mean. So he gives them a few minutes and he has security go out and push the emergency stop on the outside so they can release the kid.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

And he's like, wait till they get out there. He pulls one their button and then it's reached the security comes back in until he pulls the inside button. So he's giving him a little, you know, a little few minutes of, like, pure fear.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

You know, I love it.

[Betty]

So he finally gets it to go again. They come out and they're looking like hang dogs. They're like, you know, oh, we screwed Up. Oh, man.

[Nick]

Sorry.

[Betty]

Yeah, we know you don't mean it.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, of course.

[Betty]

But he manager of the day has the power to ban people from the property.

[Brian Greene]

Oh.

[Betty]

He'S like. He's like, it's 10 o' clock at night. You know, we're getting ready to pack up and go home. They want to go home. They're like, you guys, I don't care what you do. I don't care who you are. Go to your rooms and stay there. Yes, I'm gonna get your. I'm gonna get whoever is in charge of you, and you guys are gonna go, scram, get out of here.

[Brian Greene]

Right. Thing to do.

[Betty]

The thing is, security says they were down there at 3 o' clock in the morning.

[Brian Greene]

No way.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Of course.

[Brian Greene]

Of course they were because they have no rules. They are lawless little children. It's. I, I don't know how you feel about this, Betty, but I think that when kids get sheltered in one way, they have to act out in. They don't know how to behave. They don't have the place, the time, the appropriate venue to get that kind of energy out. So they don't know how to act when they get out in public because they're so sheltered in other parts of their life. I can only imagine, right?

[Betty]

Or they're indulged, they're encouraged, this behavior.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yeah, that. That too. Yeah. You have the right.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

They're not told no.

[Brian Greene]

They're not told no. Do you get this? I can't. First of all, you're an angel. You're an angel. I mean, I know you're doing this for money and you're doing this to feed your family or feed yourself or whatever, but at the end of the day, I can't even imagine what it's like to work at one of those places in a time when there's such entitlement and there's so little pushback on some types of behavior. As a matter of fact, people at the highest levels of our society are acting like these children are acting. No rules, no guardrails, no law, nothing. And so everybody. When you can't even point to anybody in our society and say behave like that, then where are the examples? It's certainly not here on the commercial break, that's for sure.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I think you have to have a sense of humor.

[Brian Greene]

You do have to hear.

[Betty]

Absolutely.

[Brian Greene]

A sense of humor, that's for sure.

[Betty]

I mean, that's what you guys are. In my Bluetooth, in my ears, and you're disassociating me from everything. Else going on.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, good, good. Okay, hold on, Betty. We're gonna take a short break, and then when we come back, then we will. I wanna hear the wholesome story. We're gonna pull this onto.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And now we got the other Karen story.

[Brian Greene]

Well, we got the other Karen story. We got a wholesome story. I don't know if we'll have time for both, but give us one second. We're gonna take a break.

[Betty]

Okay?

[Brian Greene]

And then.

[Betty]

Sure thing.

[Rachel]

[Brian Greene]

Okay? Okay.

[Betty]

So.

[Brian Greene]

So, Betty, so what I want you to do is. I don't know if we have time for both stories. We may have to. We may have to follow up with Betty, because you know what? I'm sure that every Betty might be.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Able to be a regular.

[Brian Greene]

Let's update the great Wolf Lodge situation. Let's see how shitty humans have gotten since the last time we talked to Betty. Because you only really will understand just how the depravity of some people in this that are walking amongst us. If you talk to the people whose responsibility is to go around cleaning up their fucking shit. That's it. Literally, they're fucking shit, Right? Yeah. And that. And that's it. Or work amongst that, you know, people at their worst, so to speak. And my opinion is, and I've said this many times on the show before, restaurants and people who work in the service industry See people at their worst for a number of reasons. At a hotel, in a resort like Betty works at Pete, you see people 24 hours a day and a whole cycle. Right. Most of the time, you see people, you're interact with them for two or three minutes, so they're on their best behavior. But when you see somebody at. Over the course of a day, then. And on vacation, then you catch them at their worst or when they're eating, because you have to do it three times a day, Everybody is picky about what they eat. Everybody has to guzzle down food. And so when you work in a restaurant or cleaning up after people who are in a restaurant, then you see the worst of people, because people, for some reason, when it comes to food, they just. We're animals. We're absolute.

[Betty]

Oh, God.

[Brian Greene]

So God bless you. First of all, Betty. Second of all, let's end this on a high note and tell us a wholesome story.

[Betty]

Okay, so I've got two. And there's. They're quick, so.

[Brian Greene]

Sure, go ahead.

[Betty]

So there's. This one is personal to me, and this one was a young father with a little baby. And the baby is trying and playing in the mining area where the water's coming down. And you see the kids, they're digging for rocks.

[Brian Greene]

Okay, so hold on one second. So let me explain to those who are listening, because my kids did this also in the middle of what she's calling mean street, where all the retail and restaurant and adventure park. Yeah, and the adventure park is. They have a. Like, a place where you can pan for gems. They give you a bag. It's full of rocks, mud, and sand, and then you put it in a pan and you sift it like you were sifting for gold, so to speak. But it's just like a little. It's a couple of wood canals that are made coming from a water fountain down into a pool. Right. Okay, so go ahead.

[Betty]

So. So you've got little baby playing in the water thinking, like, you know, splash park, Right?

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

You know what we did in the pool?

[Brian Greene]

Like, my kid.

[Betty]

Yes. And she's got her sister's magi wand from magiquest. Okay, so if you saw the magic quest, it's like a scavenger hunt.

[Brian Greene]

Yes, I did see it.

[Betty]

With, like, magical items and the dragon and stuff like that.

[Brian Greene]

That's how they get an extra $100 out of you. Yes, I saw. Yes. I told my kids, no. I'm like, no, you're not. I'm not doing that.

[Betty]

Wait till they're older.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Betty]

So you know that they're battery operated, and you don't want to get them wet.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Right.

[Betty]

So baby's trying to put the magic wand in the water, see if it's gonna float, you know, it's a toy. It's a toy. Put things in water, how things work.

[Brian Greene]

It's what kids do.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Betty]

So I'm seeing this, and I'm like, oh, that's gonna. It's gonna ruin it, you know? And then there goes, like. Like the 20 bucks. Their game. Everything's gonna get lost. And I. I walk over there, and I'm like, I'm sorry, sir. I really. I. I, you know, want to make sure that everything's okay with the baby. That's not a good idea. You know? He's like, I know she wants to play with it. She. She sees her sister playing with it. She wants to do the same thing. I'm like, I know. I'm. I'm thinking in my brain, what can I do to make this better? So I know, because this is what I do. There is a build a bear shop, and they have little stuffed magic wands for the build a bear.

[Brian Greene]

Okay?

[Betty]

So I go over there, and I'm like, look, can I buy one of those stuffed wands? Oh, it's not for me. It's for. It's for a guest. And they're like. Like, take it.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh, that was great.

[Brian Greene]

Take it.

[Betty]

Good. They. They cost, what, 30 cents, right? They're not that expensive. You can have one. I take it over to the dad, to the little baby, and I'm like, this is for the baby. This is for the. For the baby. She can play with this. She can get it wet. She can chew on it, whatever she wants to do. And it's got a little wrist strap, right?

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Betty]

So I put it around her wrist and her face, and this is what makes it all worthwhile, was just the smile on her face.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Oh, that's so sweet, Betty.

[Betty]

The dad was like, I was gonna get her one, you know, like, he was gonna go get her one. But I'm like, no, this makes me feel good, too.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Absolutely. It's those little moments that keeps you at least coming, getting up and going back to work.

[Brian Greene]

This is what gives me the smallest things. Like this give. Smallest amount of faith in some of humanity. Because, Betty, who. Whose responsibility it is is to literally clean up after you. Like, you're your mother. Like, she's your mother, right? And she cares so much about the people who are Coming in and out of the place where she works, that they have a good time, that they don't hurt themselves, that it puts a smile on their face. So she's willing to take money out of her own pocket to make sure that a father and a daughter have an experience that's not dangerous and that can, like the kid wants. I know this because I have the kids that are this age, like, they want to do this. And if they can't do it, then to them the world is ending. Right? So giving, lending to that experience, allowing it to happen is the best thing in the world to the kid. And then to the father, it's like, oh, I don't have to deal with a total meltdown because you can't put batteries in the water. The fountain at Great Wall flood.

[Betty]

And then imagine the little girl who's like, got, you know, high score or whatever of the day on that wand and then suddenly losing everything.

[Brian Greene]

Yes.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Aw, you saved the day, Betty.

[Betty]

Superhero.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

That's right.

[Brian Greene]

Our listeners are much better humans than we are. Chrissy. I just have to say that right now, for sure. All right, Betty, I want to end this on a high note. We don't have a ton of time, but I will tell you this. We will be calling you back. Save the second wholesome story. Save the second Karen story. Maybe we check in with you in a month, continue to collect stories. Would you like. I would love to have you back. You're really our first listener caller. Except for Will, the. Will the champ who called in very early on and I, I can say I think this one was a winner.

[Betty]

Well, I've got to tell you one thing before I go.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, please.

[Betty]

I will never ever look at the wolf again without calling him the Swim Wolf.

[Brian Greene]

Swim swim.

[Betty]

Rah, rah.

[Brian Greene]

Swim wolf.

[Betty]

They all have names, they all have a personality, but he is now wolf.

[Brian Greene]

I love it, Betty. Well, Betty, longtime listener calling in to give us the skinny on just how terrible all of you are out there.

[Betty]

There.

[Brian Greene]

And.

[Betty]

But we do better people.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, do better people. But we do have to say there is faith in humanity because for every one of, for every shitty 10 to 13 year old boy that's out there making life miserable for people like Betty, there's a Betty to make life better for all of us. So, Betty, thank you very much. Best to you, Betty. Best to you.

[Betty]

Best to you guys.

[Brian Greene]

We will text you and we will check in shortly.

[Betty]

Absolutely.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Thanks again.

[Brian Greene]

Well, I have to say, I think having a listener, you know, I've always been very fearful of having listeners on. And here's the reason why. Even though I encourage people to call and leave a voicemail, there's a reason why I encourage them to call and leave a voicemail is because then, you know, we can edit it. We don't have to play it if it's not. If it's not particularly interesting or good or whatever. I always get a little fearful that we're gonna get dragged into a conversation that maybe, I don't know, you know, you never know. It's like a wild card that you have no idea about. But I have to say I had to play some experience with Betty.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And Betty gets a gold star, 100% a plus.

[Brian Greene]

She brought the drama, she brought the stories that were good. I cannot, I'm still trying to get over how for 10 year olds, I couldn't imagine. Listen, I did a lot of shitty stuff as a 10 year old. I put pixies. And I'm one of these kids. I am one of these kids. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna pretend like I wasn't. I put pixie.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

One of these kids.

[Brian Greene]

Straw pixie. What do they call them?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

The straw pixie straws.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, Pixie dust. I put that like 30 of those in an air conditioner in a hotel room on a field trip. And then I turned the air conditioner on along with a number four, three other ten year old boys. We did that kind of stuff.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

You're like wolves.

[Brian Greene]

We were wolves. And one of the kids threw a pizza up on the wall. Like we had a leftover pizza. You know, they ordered a bunch of pizzas and we had an extra one. It was like, you know, the vegetable pizza or whatever. And he took it and he threw it up onto the ceiling. It like stuck on the. But I will tell you what the adult. First of all, we realized the error of our ways in the morning and tried to clean up it. Tried to clean up it. We tried to clean up it. Clean up it. I will clean up it.

[Betty]

You will?

[Brian Greene]

Yes. Peach or throw on Wally did. But I will tell you what. The adults that were around us were going to be God damned if they were going to allow us to leave that hotel without every inch of it being cleaned up. The entire class had to wait for 90 minutes while the maid came up or the person who was cleaning. The cleaning lady came up, brought her little cart and we had to take the cleaning solutions, the vacuums and everything and do it ourselves.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

That's the way to do it.

[Brian Greene]

And it was clean. It was as if no One had ever even stepped foot in that room when it was done because the adults that were with us made sure of it. And had they been or understood. Been there or understood what we were doing at that moment, we would have been. We would have been. We were. As it is, I got grounded, we got demerits. We got all kind of. We had to write a letter to the owner of the hotel. It was a whole thing. I was a. At 10 years old, I can say that. But never once did I ever think about defecating anywhere except a toilet. That's just like a step beyond. Wow. You can't walk across the way and go to the bathroom. Unbelievable.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

The crazy thing is is that adults do it too. So my dad for years was, you.

[Brian Greene]

Know, like a facilities manager.

[Betty]

Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

He was like head of the, you know, and part of what he did was he was head of the maintenance department.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And I mean, the things that he used to come home and say that were done in the bathroom. Yeah. It was bad.

[Brian Greene]

What are we doing out there?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I know. That's the thing I remember hearing. I was like, what? Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

I don't mean to fuss at you, listener. I don't mean to fuss at you, but like I said, 99.99999999% of the commercial break listeners, I think, are like minded. I don't think you would listen to the show if you weren't like minded. I think it would irritate you. Right. But. So at least that's what I like to think. And I interact with a lot of you on text message and on email. But I know that there's one of you out there who has children that you just like, let them do what they want to do because that's the path of least resistance. You are going to teach them by. But you are going to teach them by acting, essentially by telling them what to do. They don't know any different until you tell them what to do. And shitting on the floor and that there's consequences.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. There's consequences for doing.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, I wish they had caught those kids.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I know.

[Brian Greene]

I want their mug shot on every fucking Instagram reel from here to Timbuktu. And I wanted to say these kids. These kids shit on floors. These kids shit on floors and then puke. Well, I'd puke too if I saw someone shit right in front of you. Yeah.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

And you're behind a skeeball machine where it's dark and cramped and bleh.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. Why?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I don't know.

[Brian Greene]

Why are you Going back there to poop. That seems like more trouble than just going to the bathroom. Yeah. And why do you have to bring your friends with you? Where did they even get the idea. Who conjured this up? I don't. Kids are so strange. Yeah. Were they playing skeeball and one kid went, I gotta take a hot dump. And the other kid went, let's do.

[Nick]

It behind the skeet.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

It might have been like a dare.

[Brian Greene]

Can I see Uranus?

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

The old dare.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, the old dare. I dare to do it behind a skeeball machine. And then just imagine the whole scene back there. A bunch of kids, just one. And one's puking on the other one's back. I mean, it's a whole nightmare anyway, that. Listen, and I mean, this must be like death by a thousand paper cuts when you work at a place like this, because you must see just the wildest stuff day after day, night after night, and have to deal with it. Oh, God bless.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

You have the sweet little baby.

[Brian Greene]

Well, you have the sweet Betty.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

The sweet Betty and the little baby. Smile and happiness. And then the other sisters games were saved, too. I mean, Betty really saved the day.

[Brian Greene]

There is a small amount of hope, a small amount of hope for our world, and her name is Betty. If we can just get Betty, maybe. Maybe Betty can be in charge of Doge.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

I think so. I think that's a good idea.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. We'll put Betty in charge of Joe Doge, and maybe we'll get some better results. Do you know what I'm saying?

[Betty]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, the good old Doji.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Well, thanks for calling in Betty again. And I think we're gonna have to continue.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. So we've. So we've been communicating with a number of our listeners and whoever is on the phones, we have been talking to a few of them about potentially coming on. There's a guy named Sean who has been a huge fan of the show for a long time. Love Arshon. And he's like a wildlife trapper, but like a wildlife trapper who traps, like, alligators. Oh, and snakes, you know, rabid raccoons and possums and all the things we hate.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Is he in Florida?

[Brian Greene]

He is. Well, yeah. Maybe I'll let him tell us where he is. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to.

[Chrissy Joy Hoadley]

Alligators.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. It's in the Southeast somewhere. Yeah. I'll let him decide whether or not. I just want to be. Be careful about. Oh, yeah, maybe Louisiana. Well, we'll ask him when he gets here.
