Summary by Chat Bot

---

Episode Overview

In classic "The Commercial Break" fashion, Bryan and Krissy return from yet another vacation for a loosely structured, banter-filled episode. The focal segment is a delightfully absurd breakdown of a fitness YouTuber, "Frankie B.," and his crusade against online workout scams targeting older men. Along the way, the hosts riff on travel woes, airline lounges, bizarre internet ads, and personal health routines, all with their signature self-deprecating, meandering humor.

---

Key Discussion Points and Highlights

1. Vacation Overload & Traveling Nightmares

• Frequent Absences: Bryan jokes about the sheer number of vacations they've taken and their "most vacationed podcast" status.

  "I think that's like 12 we've taken in six months. That's pretty good. We're on track to be the most vacationed podcast of all time." (03:13)

• Flight Delays & Delta Grievances: Rants about Delta Airlines' declining lounge access, complicated reward structures, and the agony of consistent delays.

  "Delta has changed...Now you need seven different credit cards, $300, and an international first class ticket for $4,000." (05:02)

• First-Class Frustrations & Bad Seatmates: An encounter with an entitled seatmate who hogs space, gets drunk on airline wine, and blasts TikTok videos in-flight.

  "It's like going to a library and turning on your fucking Sonos. You just don't do that." (14:39)

2. Airline Lounge Culture & Entitlement

• Changing Lounge Rules: Discussion about how once-accessible airport lounges are now ultra-exclusive and moments of self-aware "white people problems."

  "But now I have what I think—shut out. That’s right, Chrissy. But guess what? That’s not even good enough for Delta anymore." (09:50)

• Outrage at Bad Behavior: Over-the-top accounts of travelers disregarding social norms, especially in premium cabins.

3. Venezuela Earthquake Appeal

• Personal Touch: Bryan shares a brief but earnest plea for support after a devastating Venezuelan earthquake, describing hands-on relief efforts and including call-to-action links for donations.

  "If you can spend a $5 drop off food, medicine supplies at a local drop off point... they're going to need our help." (20:17–20:47)

4. Colorado Travels & Widespread Panic

• Narrative Interlude: Krissy recounts her scenic Amtrak journey through Colorado, hiking, waterfalls, and the effects of high altitude.

5. The Main Event: Frankie B. vs. Fitness Scams

Introduction to Frankie B.

• Recurring Character: Youtube fitness/lifestyle "guru" for men over 60, known for his over-the-top style and "unique" advice, becomes their comic foil.
• Set-Up: "He's going to tell us about working out in your 60s and how you don't want to get taken by the scam artists who are out there..." (28:04)

Skewering Online Fitness Gimmicks

• High-Priced Scam Programs

  • Frankie criticizes programs like "Suprahuman" charging $10,000/year with dubious claims:

    Frankie: "Well, because his program to start is $10,000 a year. That’s right, $10,000 a year. But he guarantees if he doesn’t get you ripped, you don’t pay. Well, let me tell you why this is...the biggest scam going." (31:13)

  • Bryan's take: "Frankie’s mad. He was hoping to join the program, but no luck." (31:09)

• Ridiculous Tai Chi and "AI Bodies"

  • Frankie mocks advertised 7-minute tai chi routines: "This is your exercises. Wow. Building muscle. Okay, this is Tai Chi, seven minutes a day..." (36:04)
  • Points out the increasing use of obvious AI-generated 'before-and-after' physique videos to lure older men.

    Bryan: "He says he’s in his 60s and he looks like fucking Bruce Lee in his 20s...Everybody knows it’s a fucking scam, Frankie." (36:42–37:01)

• Frankie’s Solutions: The "Basics"

  • Insists the answer is simply “discipline” and a no-frills, six-day-a-week lifting routine, plus testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) after age 60.

    Frankie: "It doesn’t take $10,000 to build a better body. Do you know what it takes? Discipline." (34:05) "You have to work out six days a week. You have to eat very disciplined, okay?...It’s cohesiveness." (35:07) "You should all actually look into TRT testosterone replacement therapy." (47:43)

  • The hosts poke fun at the impracticality and general hollowness of the advice.

    Bryan: "Six days a week, super easy. What life are you living, Frankie?" (35:01) "You gave us no additional information. Frankie, you have once again lured us into a conversation with absolutely no point. I appreciate it." (53:18)

• Mocking Frankie’s Style

  • Affectionate ribbing of Frankie’s accent, malapropisms (“airmens” for “Hermes,” “chess” for “chest”), short shorts, and his overall approach.

    Bryan: "He’s a big, lovable oaf. I think he’s mainly harmless." (56:20) Krissy: "He just, he smiles so much too. And he’s like, so he seems to be very happy." (56:23)

  • Discussion of potential future collaboration: “I will contact Frankie B. ... The two most medio people putting out the most mediocre content on the Internet should get together and finally do a video together.” (50:31)

6. Miscellaneous Riffs & Inside Jokes

• Listener Engagement: Frequent mentions of their live stream, "voice of God" show updates, call-ins, and playful musical interludes.
• Pop Culture Tangents: Quips about random celebrities and their news (“Ariana Grande,” “Katy Perry,” “Jerry Seinfeld”) in typical deadpan fashion.

Notable Quotes and Funniest Moments

• Bryan on Lounges:
  "Now you need seven different credit cards, $300, and an international first class ticket for $4,000." (05:02)

• Krissy on Bad Air Travel:
  "Who doesn't have a headset that's in first class?" (15:01)

• Frankie B. on Fitness:
  "All this is, is a scam to get your investment. They know you’re going to quit. You are going to quit all the money that you put down on the program." (51:32) "But if you keep your testosterone levels up, all right, you’re going to keep your muscle dens, keep your bone density..." (50:57)

• Bryan on Podcasting Ambitions:
  "The two most medio people putting out the most mediocre content on the Internet should get together and finally do a video together." (50:31)

Episode Takeaways

• The world of fitness scams targeting older men is ripe for mockery, especially when tackled by personalities like Frankie B.—whose "just work out and inject testosterone" mantra feels both outdated and oblivious.
• Travel continues to provide endless fodder for airline and class-status jokes.
• The show remains self-aware, meta, and endearingly chaotic, with inside jokes, off-topic meanderings, and a “we’re all just getting by” tone.
• The rapport between Bryan and Krissy—and their long-running gags around Frankie B.—are the beating heart of the show, making even the most mundane rants engaging.

---

For newcomers, this episode encapsulates "The Commercial Break’s" vibe: a breezy, sardonic escape that doesn’t take itself—or its subject matter—too seriously.

---

Listen for:
Frankie B. takedowns, real talk about travel, a little public service, and a whole lot of “just fine” comedy chemistry.

On this episode of the Commercial break,

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

what they're not telling you, it's an AI generated figure.

[Brian Greene]

It's not Frankie. We've all seen these videos. If you're a man and you've been on YouTube then you've seen this these some version of this particular video. How does it go? Well, it goes that there is a super ripped Asian man who says he's in his he says he's in his 60s and he looks like fucking Bruce Lee in his 20s. He's got the face of a 60 year old but the body of a 20 year old and it says want to get ripped in 20 minutes a week, lift your finger like this and pay me $700 a day. Everybody knows it's a fucking scam, Frankie. It's like you're warning people. I don't know what you're warning people about.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yeah. Guys and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Greene]

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us after yet another vacation. I think that's like 12 we've taken in six months. That's pretty good. We're on track to be the most vacationed podcast of all time.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Well, I know the problem is that we're not on the same. We're not on the same schedule. Vacation schedule.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, that's true. I'm taking one and then you take one and then I take one and then you take one.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

But I'm here until Memphis. Yeah, it's October.

[Brian Greene]

I'm on some kind of steady, first of all. I'm here through the middle of the month, and then I'm on some kind of steady schedule after that. So things should smooth out a little bit here as we round the corner to the second half of the year. Stick with us, everything will be fine. But we've been putting out episodes, so it's not like, you know, it's not like we've been totally missing the mark, which is mostly missing the mark. And this mediocre comedy podcast is continuing to show its true colors. But a lot of traveling going on. I, I was in New York again. I late flying in again for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Every week.

[Brian Greene]

Every week. 13% on time. Track record by Delta.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I know,

[Brian Greene]

it's unbelievable. How, how do you, how do you, how do you conduct business as an airline if your primary responsibility. Well, your primary responsibility is get me there safely. That's what I request.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes, yes.

[Brian Greene]

But number two, when I buy a ticket and I'm intending to be somewhere at a certain time, you got to get. You got. The train's got to run on time.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Well, you know, and I think before you started doing this specific flight, we had talked before about how Delta was so great.

[Brian Greene]

Delta is great.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah. And when we took that from Denver, you know, we just did a big trip to Colorado. So we did Denver to Atlanta and all of that, and it was fine. Yeah, great.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, absolutely. Listen, I'd say this. I will take Delta over any other airline. My thoughts haven't changed on that. I've quickly gotten some status with Delta as I'm flying all over God's green earth every week. But the status doesn't mean shit, really. At the end of the day, Delta has changed. Chrissy and I were just talking about, you know, used to be. It used to be back in the old. Back in the old days when I was a child, you used to be able to go to the Delta lounge with a fart and a whistle. Now you need seven different credit cards, $300, and an international first class ticket for $4,000.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Well, the old days were just last year before they.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I was about to say the old days were May.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah. Before they completely overhauled their whole reward system.

[Brian Greene]

I like the fact that they've. Now, if you're a Delta flyer, then you know that they've made the frequent flyer miles situation much less complicated. Thank you for that. Now it's just a. Every dollar you spend, you get a certain amount of miles depending on what status you're in. So if you're in no status, it's $1 per 1 mile per dollar. If you're a silver, it's 2. If you're gold, it's 8. If you're diamond, it's 16 or whatever it is. So thank you for that. I appreciate that. But the benefits are not outweighing. Like, it's pretty to log in and see, you know, the gold, you're gold. Congratulations. Like, I had this whole thing, like a balloon popped up. It was like, you cheering gold, Great. But then I go to go to the lounge. I don't. I'm not that douchebag. I don't want to walk into the lounge all the time. It's not, it's not of interest to me. I'm not a lounge hound. You know what I'm saying, Chrissy? I'm not a Delta lounge douche. That's not what I am. But I thought, well, I got upgraded yesterday because every other, you know, flights are canceled. And I don't know what happened, but I got upgraded. A magical upgrade to first class. And I thought, yes, yes, right? I'm in two hours late. The, you know, the, the flight is two hours late. I'm gonna go and I'm gonna go sit in the lounge and I'm gonna get some work done and I'm eating some shitty cheesecake squares and, and get a pop soda and, and have fun and go pee in a nice restroom and you know what? I go, beep, beep, do my ticket. And the lady's like, great, now just insert your card. And I go, oh, which credit card? I have to pay? And she goes, no, you don't have to pay. You just need to insert your Delta Amex reserve.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

The reserve?

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, your Delta Amex titanium reserve. That'll get you in. And I go, no, no, no, I'm first class. I got upgraded to first class. And she goes, great. Where are you flying to today? And I go, atlanta. No, we don't do that anymore with domestic. It's only international. And I thought to myself, you've taken. You've swung the opposite direction now for one moment. There was a whole New York Times article about this, by the way. I'm not just bitching. I like to and complain about a lot of things, but this one, I'm backed up by scientific research, also known as the New York Times. The New York Times did a whole article about a year and a half ago about how the Delta lounges were out of control. Everyone was going in for any reason whatsoever. They were staying for days on end, taking showers, you know, just basically being miserable human beings. Eating all the food, you know, putting things on seats and saving for their 10 family members that were passing through for five minutes. They were. The Delta lounges essentially became a. Like a truck stop for the airport.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Right?

[Brian Greene]

Right. You could take a shower, can get shitty food. You can get high caffeine energy drinks. Like, this is the plate.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

All right, so why Brian 3000 is also available there.

[Brian Greene]

I've never been in the Mile High Club, but I have been in the Delta Lounge Club, if you know what I mean. You just rent. You just ask them for one of those showers. You can do whatever you want, basically.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

So

[Brian Greene]

they did this whole article. The entire world jumped on this article and said yes or no. Some people thought that because they had singled out the Atlanta Airport, specifically, the Atlanta airport has not one, not two, but four Delta lounges, that they were being racist. That they were that Delta or these New York Times articles and then Delta's new rules were being racist. They were trying to target a certain ethnicity that was staying a long time at the Delta Lounge. I don't know about all of that jazz. What I do know is that the article was true. Like, if you went to a Delta Lounge in 2020-2025, then you know, it's just a shitty experience. So now they have gone the absolute opposite direction. Now you can't get in there for any reason. It's like a Club. It's like a brand new Miami club they just keep you out for. They have red velvet ropes outside the one in LaGuardia and they separate people into lines. And I think you have to have a pretty single girl with you to get in. Like there's like, it's just like become a weird situation.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

So I know these are white people problems. I get it. I understand. Like there's a whole world out there that's going through having a lot of problems. And Brian's complaining about the Delta Lounge. But it's not that I take advantage of the Delta Lounge all the time. I just thought this one instance, this is a perfect situation to use the Delta Lounge. I'm waiting two hours for my plane. It's two hours delayed. It has never been on time. My flight from LaGuardia to Atlanta. And now I have what I think shut out. That's right, Chrissy. But guess what? That's not even good enough for Delta anymore. No, I, I have status. I, I, I got first class ticket. And by the way, by the way, in, in my. Am I. Hi, Sean. I love you too. Am I lying when I say that people who fly in first class on a regular basis are some of the most miserable sons of a. That have ever lived on this entire earth? Is that right or wrong?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I mean, I don't fly first class very often, but when I do, when Chrissy does and I have, I've found it to be a pleasant experience. But I don't know, maybe.

[Brian Greene]

Wait, but you work at the commercial break. How are you not flying first class?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Right.

[Brian Greene]

You'll find me at the bulkhead seat in the back of the plane.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

No, but then again, maybe it's just because I've been sitting next to Jeff. So I don't know.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Are you having problems with other people there?

[Brian Greene]

I'm having problems with everybody that stuck to me. I hate everybody.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Everybody else was miserable as well because it was midnight before you guys are taking.

[Brian Greene]

I get it. I'm building in some frustration there.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Right.

[Brian Greene]

I'm not saying but two things. I've noticed that the people who first class are the ones that will just stand obnoxiously at the line 55 minutes before anybody tells them it's time to go to line. Right. First of all, Second of all, everyone's jockeying for positions so that they can put their bags up. So, you know, everyone wants to. So by the time. Even if you're. Even when I was on this first class flight last night, I had to put my bag like five seats away from. Yeah, I was in the very first row and I had to put my bag five seats away. That sucks. Why? Because I don't know, did they just let people on with a lot of bag? I don't know what's happening in there, but I sit down. Even in the comfort seats, I sit down. And what is the rule, Chrissy? The rule is you have a first class seat, there's like a little table in between the two of you, right? And they put these little waters there and they put one on each side. You know what that means? That's your side. That's my side.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Correct.

[Brian Greene]

It doesn't mean that. Then you can commandeer the table because you've decided to order three glasses of wine at the same time. I must. I was sitting next to a guy, big boy, white man, probably in his mid-60s. I mean, just glasses like this, you know, just belly out to here. He looked like. He looked like Ron White is who he looked like, but with short hair and a huge belly. And the guy comes by where the plane's loading and the. The steward comes by. Would you guys like anything to drink? I said, I'll just take some ice for my water. And this guy says, what kind of wine do you have? And the guy goes, red or white? Which one are you looking for? Red. Okay, I'll get you a glass of. No, no, no, no, no, no. I asked what kind of wine that you had? And he goes, I think it's a cabernet. And he goes, I need you to find out for me, please. And so then the guy comes back a couple seconds later and he goes, it is a cab. We do have a cab. Okay, what do you have besides a cabernet? And it's like, you just ask.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

There's also a little thing in the front seat. In the front.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, he can't be bothered by that. No, he can't be bothered by that. So then the guy says, I think we also have a merlot, and maybe we've got a pinot noir. And he goes, I need you to find out for me. And so he comes back and he goes, we do have the merlot, we do have the pinot noir, and we have the cab. Which one can I get you? And he says, I'd like you to pour some of the cabernet. And then I'd like you to give me a glass of the Pinot noir so I could taste them both. And I thought to myself, are we at a fucking restaurant?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

So, Chrissy, then. Then so now the guy's got two glasses of wine. Before we take off, the guy pulls the glass, you know, the cups away so that everyone could fly safely. As soon as we get in the air, he asked for another two glasses of wine. He got his drinking heavily. And then for the rest of the flight, it started 15 minutes in. And as soon as this guy figured out how to connect to the Internet, he scrolled on TikTok with his volume as loud as possible the entire fucking flight. I had my headphones in. I could still hear his TikTok.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

What? That is so rude.

[Brian Greene]

His arm all the way over on me, you know, his glasses all over the table.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Serenity.

[Brian Greene]

What is wrong with human beings? What is wrong. What is wrong with people? What? Under what circumstances? It's like going to a library and turning on your fucking Sonos. You just don't do that. You don't listen to videos at full volume on an airplane.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

No.

[Brian Greene]

If you don't have a headset, that's your fucking problem. Don't bother the rest of us.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Also, who doesn't have a headset? That's in first class.

[Brian Greene]

Yes, exactly. They get.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

They.

[Brian Greene]

They ask you if you want a headset, plug it in and watch the soccer game or something. Stop bothering me with your overtly political tiktoks and. Oh, overtly political or sexy girls in bikinis, you know, with thumping gyrating music in the background. Oh, God. Unbelievable. I don't know what's wrong with human beings. It's probably what everyone says as they're walking by me. Look at that douchebag with his headset in.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Oh, you seem to be very polite.

[Brian Greene]

I'm so. I don't bother a person. I say hello. I say please and thank you. I sit down. I don't bother anybody. I keep to my side. I'll even lean over if someone's in the middle just to make sure that they know that they can have a little extra room because I know how uncomfortable that seat is. I kick my bag under the seat so I don't have to put extra bags up there so I have somebody. There's a little extra room. I don't want the rest of the world inconvenienced by me. Why? Because life's tough enough they don't need to be bothered by Brian Green. Also, I'm very famous, so I don't want anyone. I don't want any of these stories to get back. I sat next to Brian Green. He's a real asshole.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

An expose. And the New Yorker,

[Brian Greene]

the New York Times, Brian Roon, Delta. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I'm gonna get a real warm welcome on Delta next time I come to. But it inevitably. Inevitably. I think if I've taken 15 or 20 flights this year, I think if I've taken 20 flights, 15 of them, I've had really not great seatmates for one reason or the other. Now, maybe I'm overly sensitive. Maybe because I'm so conscientious about the things around me. I'm overly sensitive to people who have no decorum. They have no decorum. Yeah, that's right. They have no ability to understand what's good, bad, or indifferent. They're just like in their own world. They don't give a shit about anybody else.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Entitled.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, entitled. They want to flop their bodies all over the place, have three glasses of wine at one time. I thought there were rules against that. And the rules against serving people so much alcohol on a plane.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

There should be.

[Brian Greene]

Isn't there rules against people playing loud music on a plane?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

I don't know. At one point he turned on the light, that damn light. And I was like, who fucking does that? I mean, who fucking does that? Who turns on the light on a nighttime flight? Don't turn on the light. Just leave it off, okay? If you can't see at night, close your eyes and go to sleep. That's what you do. Close your eyes, take a nippy nap, put your little headset in and listen to, I don't know, Elton John and go to sleep. White man. White man. He made me so bad. He made me so mad. Yeah, I was livid by the end of the flight because I've been listening to his the entire time and smelling his wine breath the whole time. He was just like. But maybe I do have to have some serenity and understand that, you know, not everybody. No, fuck him. No, fuck that guy. Take a second thought, I'm. Fuck that guy. So anyway, all right, we got out of our system. Hey, everybody. In the.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

In the chat.

[Brian Greene]

Chat. Welcome aboard. Thanks for joining us. We really appreciate it. Before we take a break and we have a Frankie B. Video. Chrissy, Frankie B. On deck. Look at that. We're going to go back to the well for the 357th time and find out what Frankie's up to.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes, he's still down there with his.

[Brian Greene]

Still down Florida, it looks like, fiance. He's still down there in Florida with his. His Florida fiance, and they're still living the high life. He's gonna teach us how to. He's still living the high life.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Getting shoes from ebay.

[Brian Greene]

From ebay. What did he call them?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Which. There's nothing wrong with that.

[Brian Greene]

No.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah. What was the brand?

[Brian Greene]

Hermen's.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Ermen.

[Brian Greene]

His hair Men's. His hair. Men's shoes from ebay. But I did want to say this. There was a dev. And if you were listening to the commercial break, if you have the RSS feed, if you downloaded any shows recently, then, you know, I put together like a very short plea for some help and put it on the RSS feed as an episode for the people of Venezuela. So I'll put a link in the show notes. There are trusted, reputable foundations that are sending money and supplies directly to the people who need it. What a terrible, horrible situation. I don't want to bum the whole show out by talking about it ad

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

nauseam for that whole country.

[Brian Greene]

Yes. I mean, but of course you know that Astrid is Venezuelan and so Venezuela is a big part of my life. And this earthquake that happened about a week ago now was just devastating in so many ways. It's a kick while they're down and it's going to take so much time, energy and effort to recover. And so many hundreds of thousands of peoples are now displaced. As if it wasn't bad enough for the Venezuelans, they are now additionally displaced. And so if you can spend a $5 drop off food, medicine supplies at a local drop off point, there are hundreds if not thousands of them across the country. I can put a link to where you can find yours or go volunteer, pack some boxes. This is what we've been doing, is going to the main, like collection points.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

And really heartened to see how many hundreds of people showed up, how many other hundreds of people were dropping off supplies of all different races, creeds and colors, everyone coming together. I mean, mainly Venezuelans, but there were a lot of gringos and gringas. There were everybody, I mean you, you name it, we saw it. And it was a distinctly Venezuelan situation going on at the drop off locations. It was a hot mess that was somehow working out. But don't let that dissuade you. They're going to need our help. They're going to need it for a long time.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah. For months to come.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. So don't, you know, keep your powder, drop off some stuff now. Maybe think about it. Two months from now. I think this will be going on probably for the better part of the next year. Okay. Chrissy and I are going to go step outside in the beautiful cool air, 105 degrees. It's unbelievable how hot it is. It really is. I'm quite surprised the studio is even this temperature right now. I know it feels kind of comfortable in here. So I probably just. Yeah, it's. I was in New York yesterday. It was like walking in soup.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

Walking in sick. It was disgusting. In the office that I'm working at, the studio that I'm working at, we had this cool, like this industrial sized temporary air conditioning because of course the air conditioning is broken in the studio right when we needed to be working. But the, the super came and he put this thing and it's a tube outside that goes outside the window and. And then it goes into a machine that cools the air and then it sends it out another tube that you can kind of point in whatever direction you need. Cool air.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

This machine is probably stands 4ft high. It's a big thing, right. And at the very bottom of it, it's got a huge container for water. And what it does is it sucks the hot air in. It cools the air. And then the cooling process causes the moisture in the air, condensation. The condensation to fall down into this bucket. That bucket is 25 gallons big. Sometimes we are emptying it twice a day. That's how much water is coming from the air.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Wow.

[Brian Greene]

Water. It's. I know how science works, but it's really interesting to see it actually play out and in real time. So. Okay, let's take a break. We'll get to Frankie B. Chrissy and I will be right back. Thanks for joining us.

[Brian Greene]

When will it ever end? All right, let's see if we can hear Frankie. Oh, no, we can't hear Frankie. That's kind of weird. Hi, everybody. Welcome back. Let's see. Am I. Are we doing this the right way? Chrissy, do you know how to do it the right way?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I don't.

[Brian Greene]

Okay. I don't either.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Okay, perfect.

[Brian Greene]

That makes two. It was working before.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

It was.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. Okay, hold on one second. I think I know what's going on here. I think I know what's going on here. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the commercial break. This is pretty normal for us. We just, you know, just plug it along here as we fly by the

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

seat of our pants, you know?

[Brian Greene]

Hey, Chrissy, you got to. You got to do what you can. All right, well, Chrissy, tell me about your widespread panic. How was your widespread panic?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Well, I mean, Colorado in general was Such a great trip. It was. That state is beautiful.

[Brian Greene]

Really is.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

It is so beautiful.

[Brian Greene]

Really is. Honestly, probably, if not the most beautiful state in the nation. One of the most beautiful states in

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

the nation really is. I mean, it was gorgeous. We went to Denver, had a little birthday celebration and then Father's Day, and then took a train, did the Amtrak down from Denver.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Wow.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Down from Denver to Grand Junction, which was gorgeous.

[Brian Greene]

Keep talking, guys. I'm going to turn off the video just for one second, but keep talking. Chrissy.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yep.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. Okay. And so did you guys have, like, a sleeper car?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

We didn't have. We. We didn't have. We had a roomette, it's called. So it's just two seats.

[Brian Greene]

Oh.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

But we had, like a big picture

[Brian Greene]

window, so you guys had to lay on top of each other.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Did you sleep?

[Brian Greene]

Was it an overnight thing?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Sat knee to knee.

[Brian Greene]

You sat knee to knee? That sounds uncomfortable.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

It was. It was fine. Yeah. And we. It follows, you know, the Colorado river down through these canyons and just was gorgeous. So that was fun. Got to Grand Junction. That's a cute little town. Then drove down to Telluride.

[Brian Greene]

Love Grand Junction. Telluride. Probably one of the more beautiful cities.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

You're in the bowl.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yeah. You're in. You're in the bowl. You're smoking the bowl.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Beautiful waterfall. Doing the bowl. Yeah, we hiked a big waterfall up to 10,000ft. God, that. That altitude will mess with you, though.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay, hold on. Let me see if I can hear this.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Okay.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Just your first time here.

[Brian Greene]

There we go. There.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

We did it.

[Brian Greene]

All right. We did it. I did it on the fly while we were recording. That's quite amazing. I feel like a Jimmy Kimmel level. Skills, production skills here. Except for. Can't see Chrissy, but besides that, everything's working out great

[Pharmaceutical Ad Voice]

here.

[Brian Greene]

You know what, Chrissy? You know what I'm going to do for you today? I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do for you today. We get to see Chrissy. Brian's out. All right, there you go. All right, here we go. If you're not watching on the live stream, YouTube.com/the commercial break Wednesdays and Thursday. Sometimes on Fridays, Chrissy and I, we go live. You can follow us and you'll get notified about when we go live. Okay. Chrissy, Frankie is back. He's in his abode. And what he's going to do here is he's going to tell us about working out in your 60s and how

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

you don't want working out.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. You don't want to get taken by the scam artists who are out there trying to sell you workout programs online.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Oh, okay.

[Brian Greene]

He's gonna warn us about the scam.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Okay.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

What's going on? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the video. If this is your first time here, my name is Frank Bernardo. This.

[Brian Greene]

I just find it weird when people welcome you to the video. Like, I turned it on. You don't need to. You know what I'm saying? Welcome to the video.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

And all is built for all guys in their 60s who want to up their game, look and feel better about themselves and grooming, fitness, fashion, and lifestyle. So before we get into the video,

[Brian Greene]

I love the two whack off st. Statues in the background.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Still back there.

[Brian Greene]

He still got the two hands. Didn't he just have one last time?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I think there was just one.

[Brian Greene]

Did he? He's now he's. He's doubled up. Listen, if you really want to go at it, use both hands. If you're really talented or that big, you use both hands at any time.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Ooh.

[Brian Greene]

Lifestyle, fitness, fashion, fun. Sex, titties, hair plugs, bow tie.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

All right, guys, so today we're going to talk about workout routines. What is the best workout routine out there and what are the workout routines that in my opinion. And let me be very clear. And this. This is only my opinion. What?

[Brian Greene]

Thanks for clarifying, Frankie. As if you were, like, the noted authority on online workout routines. You can already tell by the way his eyes are moving. He has no idea what he's about to talk about. He's just going to run on the fly. How do I know that he has no idea what he's about to talk about based on the way his eyes are looking? Because that's what I do every day of the. Every episode. The commercial break.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Workout routines are, I would just say, ridiculous, waste of money scams.

[Brian Greene]

Let's go over them.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

The first one. And this guy is all over social media. He's all over Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Marketplace, everywhere you go. This guy is promoting his workout routine. It's called Supra Human. All right, this is the guy that

[Brian Greene]

wasn't there, like, a car called the Supra at one point. Yeah, I think I had a girl that I dated drove a Supra Toyota Supra. Yeah, I'M glad to know she's doing well. Making money on the online fitness space. As a man, before you can even

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

sign up or before you even qualify for his routine, you got to make $150,000.

[Brian Greene]

And why do you. Which Frankie's out. Frankie's out.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

He's bitter.

[Brian Greene]

He's bitter. He's mad. He was hoping to join the program, but no luck.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Gonna make $150,000. Well, because his program to start is $10,000 a year. That's right, $10,000 a year. But he guarantees if he doesn't get you ripped, you don't pay. Well, let me tell you why this is a bunch of horseshit and why this is what I believe personally, the biggest scam going. Okay, first of all, he's not going to get everybody ripped in the time frame that he says he is, because there's going to be a lot of you men out there. And what he's doing is he's Mark,

[Brian Greene]

because basically he's marketing to you losers out there. Here comes Frankie over the top to double bash the guys who are trying to make that. Trying to improve their physique. Listen, I'm not on board with the $10,000 scam either. That's not. I don't want to. I don't want to make that betrayal. But now Frankie's going to tell you why you are a loser that doesn't qualify to have any help whatsoever getting,

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

oh, two executives because you don't have time to work out. You know, you've got money, you got the girls, you got the boat, you got the cars, but you don't have the body. And that makes you a lesser person, you know? But he's got the secret recipe in the secret recipe, guys.

[Brian Greene]

Hey, by the way, Frankie, the same thing that you say in almost every video that you do. You are constantly beating up the audience members who are trying, you know, you. You. You frame it as self help, but what you're really doing is just kind of bullying people about how terrible they are and how terrible their fitness habits are and how terrible their eating plan is. And, you know, I've seen you on the boat. Have you seen the beginning of your own video, Frankie?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yep. Yep.

[Brian Greene]

Have you seen the video?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

God, what was that video when he did it with? It was the yacht.

[Brian Greene]

The young. The girls on the yacht. Yeah. Oh, my God. He was driving around.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

All of you who are thinking about going into his program, the secret recipe. It's money. Just give him money. And his coaches. His coaches. Okay. He's Coaches all over the world, okay? These are guys that he just sucks up and hires and say, here's a program. Make them follow it. We'll worry about, you know, if they get ripped or not later. That's all it is, guys. Don't fall for this particular scam. You know. You know me. My followers. You know me.

[Brian Greene]

Wait, which.

[Musical Interlude / Song Performer]

Who.

[Brian Greene]

What followers? Which followers are? Both of you know me. Chrissy and Brian. Brian and Chrissy. You guys know me. You guys have been listening to my programs. I will shoot you straight here.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

It doesn't take $10,000 to build a better body. Do you know what it takes? Discipline.

[Brian Greene]

It's just discipline and, like, $7,000. You can come to my studio for $7,000. Chrissy, listen to me, okay? I'll take you to my studio, which is basically a closet on the north side of Chicago. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to stick barbed wire in your face, stretch it out, a couple of shots of botox, and then we're going to plump you up with some valvoline in your ass cheeks. You're going to have a. It's going to look great. Chrissy little just for men on your beard. You're on your way. Frankie's follicles won't.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

What?

[Brian Greene]

I won't steer you wrong, all right?

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

You don't need to spend 10,000. You just need to go to the gym. If you looked at my previous videos, all right? And I'll link one up after this video. It's super easy. You get in the gym, you work out six days a week. You know, guys, super easy. 60s, guys in their 50s.

[Brian Greene]

Six days a week, super easy. What life are you living, Frankie?

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

You have to work out six days a week. You have to eat. Very disciplined, okay? You've got to. It's cohesiveness. It works hand in hand, working out and eating right. It doesn't take you $10,000 to figure this out or go into this jokes program, all right? It's actually.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

He really hates this guy.

[Brian Greene]

He probably hates the guy because the guy's having some measure of success. But, you know, listen, also, maybe it is a scam. What do you say? Suprahuman?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes, Supra.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Supra

[Brian Greene]

SUU pra. Human. Let's look together, guys. Suprahuman doesn't really have more viewers than Frankie does. Oh, yeah, They've got like, yeah, 13, 14 bucks, something like that you have

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

to watch out for. And this one, this one really kills me. It's tai chi. It's either Tai Chi walking or they have Tai Chi chair exercises. That's when you sit on a chair just like this. Okay, this is your exercises. Wow. Building muscle. Okay, this is Tai Chi, seven minutes a day. And this. Oh, here, let's do a couple league lifts. Okay? You got that right. Doing that is going to build you the body of your dreams. You're going to be an Adonis. But what they're not telling you, it's an AI generated figure. It's not.

[Brian Greene]

Frankie, we've all seen these videos. If you're a man and you've been on YouTube, then you've seen this, these, some version of this particular video. How does it go? Well, it goes that there is a super ripped Asian man who says he's in his. He says he's in his 60s and he looks like fucking Bruce Lee in his 20s. He's got the face of a 60 year old, but the body of a 20 year old. And it says, want to get ripped in 20 minutes a week? Lift your finger like this and pay me $700 a day. Everybody knows it's a fucking scam, Frankie. Yeah, it's like you're warning people. I don't know what you're warning people. You're warning people about a car crash, you know, after they go to the hospital. Okay, dude, we got it. We understand real human. Frankie's doing a real service. You'll get ripped. It's so true. I've seen the video. The first time I said, there's a new one. It's, it's. It's a black guy. He's probably six. It looks, he's standing at. They're standing on a basketball court. Of course you're standing on a black guy standing on a basketball court. He's probably like 6 foot 3, right? It's obviously AI and this guy is just stacked. He is a perfect human being, right? And then next to him is. Imagine the guy I was sitting next to yesterday on a plane, but he's black. And he says, and this is how the guy's mouth is moving weirdly. You can just tell it's AI.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brian Greene]

And he goes, this is my dad, born in 1976. Well, I know some people that were born in 1976. And this guy looked about 30 years older with his big pot belly and his gray hair and his big wrinkles. This is my dad born in 1976. And in two weeks, this is my dad born in 1976. And all of a sudden the father is like, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger in his most peak form. And I'm like, clear in, you know, tai chi for five minutes a day and he lost 40 pounds. It's bullshit. It's horseshit. Of course it is. We all know it. No one is falling for that now. I say that, but I see these videos like every 13 minutes. So the truth is, maybe there's a lot of people falling for it.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Who is ripped beyond belief. All right, but that individual or that AI character got that from sitting his ass on a chair and doing these ridiculous exercises.

[Brian Greene]

All I'm saying, guys, okay, yeah, 2,000 years of, 2,000 years of history has got to be wrong. Frankie, don't you think Tai chi can help? But it's not meant to build muscle necessarily. That's not the point. It's like a meditation. Yeah. So I get what you're saying here, Frankie, but you know, I love how Frankie's giving the example by showing his, his tiny shorts.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I know he was doing the legless.

[Brian Greene]

It's exactly the kind of shorts I would imagine, Frankie. So it was pride over the weekend? Yes. I get in late on Sunday. My flight's delayed on the way there, of course, but I already was taking the late flight. So I get in at like 12:30, 1:00 clock in the morning, and I'm so fucking hungry. And so I go to Prince Street Pizza. And if you've been to New York, you know Prince Street Pizza, it's like world famous, tiny little place. You walk in, there's a little line, but the line sometimes can wrap around the block. It's so good. It is like some of the, it is the best pizza. Oh my God. So I go, it's 2 in the morning, they're open till 3:30 or something. On Sundays there's a little bit of a line, but not a huge one. And I am standing in front of two very handsome, well built men in very short, colorful shorts and crop tops. I have no idea that it's pride weekend, right? But the guys start turning around, they start talking to me, right? And they're saying, it's pride weekend. We're here for pride. What do you do? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they should, they were like, you should buy us rainbow pizza. And I'm like, there is no such thing as rainbow pizza. But I ended up buying them a slice of pizza. They were very nice. Very nice. Anyway, the, when I left, the line was all of a sudden out the door. And everyone, 90% of the people that were there were young Folks. And it was either gay men or white women. Right. And they were all wearing the exact same shorts. And that was shorts that show your ass. Like the shorts that are way up your ass. That is exactly on brand for Frankie. He's wearing the exact same shorts. It's on brand. It's on brand for Frankie. I just love it. I love that he's at his age and he's still wearing those short shorts.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Why?

[Brian Greene]

Because the 32 inch seam. 31 inch seam. I like those too, Chrissy. I don't like to wear those board shorts. I don't want to cover up these knees. These knobby knees need to be seen. People want to see my knobby knees. Know what I'm saying?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

They demand to be seen.

[Brian Greene]

They demand.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Free the knee.

[Brian Greene]

Free the knee. Let it go. Listen, I went to Catholic school where they took a ruler, right? They took that ruler. But I don't know what happened, but somewhere around sophomore year, the ruler rule went out the door and the skirts kept getting shorter and shorter and shorter. Yeah, I think mainly because it was like, you know, our principal went from a woman to a man. And all of a sudden, I'm not all that concerned about. I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying I went to Catholic school. Okay. You know what I'm saying? All right. Okay. Let's take a break. We'll be right back with more Frankie.

[Rachel (Voice of God)]

Stand out in the crowd Jackie Beans, you steal a stacking you're the k dream with a spice of bright.

[Brian Greene]

I love Jackie Beans. Love that song. Have you talked to Jackie Beans?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I haven't.

[Brian Greene]

You guys still.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I'm at mempho.

[Brian Greene]

All right, well, we gotta. We gotta get a checkup on Jackie.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I love. I had such a great time with him at the Pearl Jam show. Yeah, I had a great time with this random stranger having fun. He's like a mat. He was like magic. He was a little magic pill for the show. It just. It all came together perfectly. All right, here's Frankie, you know, giving us warning, fair warnings about stuff we clearly already know is bullshit.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

But okay, man to man, just step up to the plate, all right? Get discipline. Work out six days a week. Work a particular body part.

[Brian Greene]

Take testosterone, human growth hormone, workout six days a week. Six days a week. Frankie, people don't have six fucking days a week to work out. I know some people do that. I know, but those are people that also.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

You want to build yourself up to that. You don't want to go straight in.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Hurt yourself, especially if they're going to get hurt.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, everyone, settle down. All right? Slow down. Start with six minutes a month. That's Brian's plan. I figure six minutes a month, which I haven't started quite yet, but that's my plan. Six minutes a month.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

That sounds like a goal for the first four years and then move to eight minutes a month for the next four years. By the time I turned 70, I figured 10 full minutes a month is how I'm going to keep this body.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I mean, you know, look, throw in some tai chi.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, I'm going to. Well, I'm going to throw in is testosterone, human growth hormone, and Ozempic. That's what I'm going to throw in each session.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Do not do full body workouts each time you're in the gym because you're never working out particular muscle group hard enough to make it, grow it, you just will never, ever get the results. And then you. You might quit. But if you work out arms one day, which is biceps, triceps, the next day. You do shoulders, you do chest, you do back, and this chess.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Chess.

[Brian Greene]

Why? Friggy has such a hard time with some. Some words in the English language, and it seems like chess is one of them. It's chest.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah. The tees.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. The T's. That's right. Or airmens.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

You do legs and then you cycle it and guess what? Work out for at least an hour. Do an hour of weight.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

An hour of triceps.

[Brian Greene]

An hour of triceps. I don't think I've ever spent an hour thinking about my triceps, if I'm being honest, or my biceps or really any muscle except from a dick. And the only hour I would. And that's Only because Astrid's like, really? Are we finished? And I had to talk to her for an hour about how we were finished.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

What does weights do? Obviously builds muscle. What? Builds testosterone. Muscle.

[Brian Greene]

Testosterone.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

So he didn't see the teeth.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah. Well, if he's got an actual speech impediment, which I had when I was a kid, too. I don't. I don't want to shame anybody.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

No, no, of course.

[Brian Greene]

But I think it's more of like, just the way. Yeah, the dialect. The dialect. And Chrissy said it without a t. Dialect.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Dialect.

[Brian Greene]

Dialect. That's a medicine. You take diaphylactic muscle.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

If you're not building muscle, you're not going to have testosterone, and you can't build muscle. So no matter what you do, no matter what program, no matter what the stress. Supra. Human dude. All right, is. Is telling you and tai chi, you have to have testosterone.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Here we go with the testosterone.

[Brian Greene]

Yeah, here we go with the testosterone. So far, this video has just given us no useful information except for his workout schedule, which is completely unrealistic for, I would imagine, 90% of the human beings out there. Unless you're retired, and that's your thing, and you're really focused on your health and your muscle building. I just don't know a lot of, like, retired 65, 70 year olds that are focused on muscle building. Like, I want to say that because I don't want to be focused on muscle building at that age. What I like to focus on, you know, drugs and alcohol mainly.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

And then on occasion, you know, I'll take a run and sweat it out.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

I believe, you know, guys in their 60s, you should all actually look into TRT testosterone replacement therapy.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Okay.

[Brian Greene]

Really?

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Because our levels, when you get in the 60s, I mean, they could be 200, 300, they're way down. And when your levels are that low, it's really, really gonna be hard to build muscle. And it's gonna be even more harder

[Brian Greene]

to lose belly fat or harder to lose. And by the way, Frankie went to, I think, John Hopkins medical school. I'm pretty sure that's where he's got his doctorate from, is John Hopkins. I. I will say this, I will say this. As a man of a certain age, he's right about one thing. Testosterone. And by the way, this doesn't just go for the guys out there. Now Brian's about to get on his high horse about health. This doesn't go for the guys out there. This goes for the ladies.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

There's plenty of women that take testosterone

[Brian Greene]

they take testosterone or they have to have their estrogen fixed. Hormones play such an important role in how we feel, how we look, how we act, how we, you know, all the things. And as we get older, the smallest adjustments in some of those things, up or down, can really wreak havoc. And I learned this firsthand with the hormone known as calcium, which is a hormone, actually, or it's a parathy. Excuse me, It's a PC pgc, which is something that the parathyroid puts out, but it can fucking wreck your life and you may not even know it. So it's important to get your hormones checked out, but don't go off half cocked and just start take, you know, fucking doping, because Frankie B. Thinks it's a good idea. Frankie doesn't even. Frankie had no idea what he was going to talk about five minutes ago, and now he's into the testosterone conversation.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

All right. Because without, you know, testosterone, it's just going to stay there and you're never going to be able to get rid of it. So you should most definitely look into getting, you know, weekly shots of testosterone here. It's good for your heart, it's good for your bones, it's good for your hair. It's definitely good for your muscles. It's good for the bedroom. It's good for your nails.

[Brian Greene]

You know, it's good for the bedroom.

[Sponsor Announcer]

I'd.

[Brian Greene]

I'd die. I would die to spend a day with Frankie and his girl. I would die. Yeah, I would. Honestly, I think maybe we should try and make this happen now. I think as we turn the corner into the next evolution of the commercial.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

True.

[Brian Greene]

I think we should just stop being so precious about Frankie B. And I should just reach out to him and be like, hey, in case you don't know, which he most definitely does. But in case you don't know, for five years we've been making money talking about you. Not a lot. So don't try and sue us because, you know, you can't bleed a rock. But at the end of the day, Frankie, it is time for us to join forces.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

The two most medio people putting out the most mediocre content on the Internet should get together and finally do a video together. And I'll go spend a day with you down in Florida.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

And just let me videotape what goes on on a normal day. Right. And then, you know, well, I'll. I'll take it to a nice dinner without testosterone.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Guys, what's happening is. Oh, man, you're. You're dying a Slow death.

[Brian Greene]

We're gonna have tuna eggs. Yeah, we're gonna have tuna eggs. Yeah.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

But if you keep your testosterone levels up, all right, you're gonna keep your muscle dens, keep your bone density, you're going to keep your hair, you're going to have better looking skin. That's the secret, okay? It's not this ridiculous, just insane workout routine that superhuma is, is trying super humor.

[Brian Greene]

What's a super humor?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I don't know. He's having trouble.

[Brian Greene]

I know I laugh, but I do that all the time. The older I get, the more it happens, right? Just like words start bleeding into each

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

other, you know, to tell you that you need, all that is, is a scam to get your investment. They know you're going to quit. You are going to quit all the money that you put down on the program. And this is what they're hoping for. They're hoping that if you do put down 10,000 on the program, that, you know what? I put 10,000 down, I better stick it out. But is that the right thinking here? Save your 10,000.

[Brian Greene]

Do yourself a favor, send it to the commercial break. They can keep calling attention to my videos.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Also, I'm thinking if I've got ten grand just to blow on like a Internet ad, you know, I'm probably at least going to look into getting a trainer.

[Brian Greene]

That's right.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

You know, that's right.

[Brian Greene]

You're so right about this. I mean, a good trainer is probably $150 a session, maybe like the elite trainers, $250 a session. But you could go once a week, have them teach you and make adjustments and tell you, okay, you know, we need to pick up on your legs or whatever you want to do. I've had, I had a personal trainer one time and she was smoking hot. And my ex wife, I think quickly figured out this was not the right idea, smartly. But you know, you can go get that trainer and they can just help you every once in a while, make fine tunes to your schedule. But you really got to be committed to working out. You don't get a, you don't go get a personal trainer unless you are willing to do too well.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

And they'll help you stay committed, motivated.

[Brian Greene]

They'll show up at your front door, they'll drag you out of bed, bang pots and pans on your face.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

Go on two vacations, call me up, I'll go with you. All right? Let's go on a vacation with that money. Let's have a good time, let's build A better body. The only way to build a better body is by what I'm telling you. So guys, all I'm telling you.

[Brian Greene]

What did you tell us? You said six days a week get a shot of testosterone every week. You gave us those two notable pieces of advice. Check with your doctor before you ever start shooting up hormones in your ass once a week, first of all. Second of all, completely unrealistic. You gave us no additional information. Frankie, you have once again lured us into a conversation with absolutely no point. I appreciate it.

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

All you older guys out there, don't be fooled by this scam. Artists out there, because that's all they are. Just go to the basics. Hard work, okay? Dedicate your time for at least six days a week. One hour a day. That's all it takes. Do you got time? Yes. You got time. Well, superhuman. You need blood work. We need. Oh my God. We got the best doctors. You don't need that horseshit. There's no.

[Brian Greene]

I don't need medical professionals to around with your hormones. You don't need that horse. Just start injecting yourself. Blood work. Who needs that?

[Frank Bernardo (Frankie B.)]

A test out there that is going to tell you how to work out again. It's another scam. It's all money. Don't fall for the trap. If you want to build a better body, you want.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

More.

[Brian Greene]

Don't tempt me with a good time, my friend. I, I, you know, listen, the more that I see Frankie, the more I'm just in love with everything he. It's going to happen this season. We. I will contact Frankie B. I will do it. As a matter of fact, put it on my calendar. I'm going to email him tomorrow. I'm going to say hey, buddy. And we'll see if he responds. And if he does, maybe some magic can happen on the commercial break. And if he doesn't, we'll just continue to do videos about him until he, he has to pay attention to us. Listen, we love you, Frankie. I think the best thing that we could do is get together in the same room and start talking because that's, that's how friendships are built. That's how Friendships are built. And that's how, you know, you, you go to your salon suite in style. Lifestyle. That's how lifestyles are built. Lifestyles. And we'll pump our chesses and all that other stuff, right, Chrissy?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah, you can hit the gym, eat the tuna eggs do you know, get

[Brian Greene]

your Herman's work on our dialect right? Yeah. All that stuff. We can figure it out together. Frankie, imagine a world where you and I and Chrissy are in a room, join forces. I mean, with your 30 listeners and our 30 listeners, we could have 60 listeners.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yes.

[Brian Greene]

Yes. Thank you. All right.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Oh, Frankie, he is lovable.

[Brian Greene]

He is. He's big, lovable oaf. I think he's mainly harmless.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I think he is too. And he just, he smiles so much too. And he's like, so he seems to be very happy.

[Brian Greene]

He's a bit of a chauvinist, but, you know, he's a man of a certain age also and he's a man of a certain ilk. He comes from probably a very machismo Chicago culture and he's into all that working out and all that other stuff. So, you know, I'm not forgiving the chauvinism. What I'm saying is I can understand where it comes from because I grew up where he grew up and there's just a flavor up there. It's just how it is. Okay. Chrissy and I will be back tomorrow probably for a couple shows. Maybe a couple shows.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Two shows.

[Brian Greene]

For two shows. And yeah, that's all the information I can give you right now. I don't, I don't want to get you all excited about stuff coming up in the future because I don't even know what's coming up in the future. So I could say some stuff, but it's probably not gonna be true. Jerry Seinfeld coming on next week if we, if he says yes and if we find a phone number that he can call. Yep. Going to talk to Nate Vargazzi about all of his Trump drama. If we call him and he answers the phone. Let's see. Ariana Grande going to be speaking to us about her brand new tour. Really out there killing it right now.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Well, she's gone and she had to delay it. I saw for some production issues.

[Brian Greene]

Oh, she did. I wonder if one of the. I'm not going to say that Ariana Grande is tiny. She is tiny, but, you know, beautiful voice. Oh, she's. She's a beautiful woman. Beautiful voice. Loved her in Wicked. We're big fans around here, but you look at her and she's tiny. Katy Perry gonna come in and, you know, ride a big emoji turd into the studio. And what is Katy Perry doing? What is wrong with her?

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

I don't know. She's still with Justin Trudeau.

[Brian Greene]

I don't know. Probably.

[Kristen Joy Hoadley (Chrissy)]

Yeah.

[Brian Greene]

But I don't think that making her less crazy. I think it's making her more crazy, if I'm being honest.
