I'Ve been keeping this a secret for years, but I think it's finally time to come clean. I don't like your attitude on this episode of the commercial break. Oh, okay. You want to give us any detail on that, Stephen? Or you just want to let us know that 48 hours later everybody knew about it? I want to know what you did, Stephen. What did you do? You left your household. I highly doubt that. She left. She left and that. And. But Stephen's twisting it. Stephen's now making a YouTube video to let everybody know what's going on. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Yeah, boy. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this incredibly terrible show, Chris. Enjoy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris Bestie.
Chris Hoadley
Brian.
Brian Green
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Happy Heidi Ho. How are you? Election day is here. No TCB infomercial today. We felt it was so important to bring you breaking election news that we will not be bringing a guest to you today. And here's the breaking election news. We don't have a clue either. We don't know. That's it. We don't know. You don't know? No one knows. It's Tuesday, Election day. As you're listening to this, it's Tuesday, election day. As we're recording this, it's Monday, the day before election day. So everyone hotly Anticipating what exactly is going to be happening with the United States of America just hours from now as the polls close. And I personally will be hiding under my bed. Yeah. Putting my children out front, saying them first. The world needs me. The world needs my voice. What will the world do without the host of the commercial break? But my children, they are delicious. Take them first. Lovely.
Chris Hoadley
Blue goes first.
Brian Green
Oh, blue. No one wants blue. That's the thing. Blue is like Donald Trump. She's old, she's orange, and she never shuts up. I can't understand the words she says. That's it. So if you're listening to this on election day, go vote. There you go. One more. One more day, if you haven't already. Although I think most people have already.
Chris Hoadley
I hope so.
Brian Green
Yeah, I think most people kind of heeded the warning that it might be kind of a shit show. Yeah. On election day. So they just decided to avoid at all costs election day going to a polling place on election day. And listen, I'm hoping that the worst of the predictions don't come true, but if they do, I already voted, so I'm not worried about it. I'm. I've already voted. Yeah, that's it. I voted. So I'll be here hiding in my house, and Chrissy will be here with me, hiding in the house, recording yet another episode of the commercial break for our contractual obligation. For our contractual obligations. Speaking of contractual obligations, it's important for us to remind you it's important for us on behalf of our network, to remind you that we will be live the entire holiday season. No rest for the where you hear. Chrissy and I will be working through Christmas day to bring you fresh episodes of the commercial break, including the 12 days of TCB. Our first annual. Our first annual.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, there's no first annual.
Brian Green
I think you have to do it to actually be annual. It's our very first.
Chris Hoadley
It's inaugural.
Brian Green
It's inaugural. It's the inaugural 12 days of TCP, December 13th through the 25th. So gather around the tree, open presents, turn on TCP. Brian talk about his high calcium. You'll have a ton of fun and tasty.
Chris Hoadley
Tina.
Brian Green
Here comes calcium. Here comes calcium with Brian brain. Oh, that's a good song. We should, we should. We should follow that. Here comes calcium, Here comes calcium.
Chris Hoadley
We should probably do a couple songs.
Brian Green
A mix and mingle. And his fingers gonna tingle as his calcium's low again. His parathyroid's been removed. Now he's going through menopause. He's acting crazy and feeling lazy. But no one really knows the cause of your.
Chris Hoadley
That was a good one.
Brian Green
Thank you, Chrissy. It took me all the entire weekend to write that. Yes, I did. I went to Disney Junior with Disney Junior Live with my 13 children yesterday, which, in case anybody doesn't know what Disney Junior Live is, if you've ever been to a church and where the pastor speaks about hell and the fiery. The fiery demons that shall torture you for infinity, that is Disney Junior live. That's what that is. Chrissy. 700 or probably more like a thousand screaming children as characters sing your favorite songs that you can't get out of your head because they're playing 24 hours a day at your. At your house. But it is pretty cute to see all of the children get very excited.
Chris Hoadley
Showed me the little video. Oh, my God, it was adorable. But we're dancing.
Brian Green
It's just such a. I mean, it's so like toddlers in general.
Chris Hoadley
Do they serve alcohol at this.
Brian Green
They do serve alcohol at this event. You can get alcohol, though. If you're getting alcohol, you really look like the shitty parent, you know what I'm saying? So I don't think they sell a ton of alcohol.
Chris Hoadley
Well, one could be the drinker and then the other one's the driver.
Brian Green
Well, I. There was a little.
Chris Hoadley
Or just Uber. Just Uber.
Brian Green
It's just Uber.
Chris Hoadley
Disney Junior.
Brian Green
Come on, kids. Uber's here. Angel Ride. What is that like when they take your car home? Yeah, we're waiting for daddy's angel to show up. Safe ride. Well, they used to. I had. They had one where I worked called Angel Ride. Yes. And you know, they really were angels on many occasions as you. They would pick you up in various states of. Up in this.
Chris Hoadley
I used it a couple of times.
Brian Green
Oh, I used it on way more than a couple of times. I used it many times because there was no Uber back then. So it was either you take the taxi cab and leave your car wherever it is. And to be honest with you, for drinkers and drivers, that I think at the end of the day, that is like the biggest drama that you think about when making that decision is leaving your car. Now in 2024, there never has been a good reason to drink and drive. But let's put aside that, like, common sense thinking for just a second there. Back in the day when there was no Uber, it was. It could be really difficult to get a cab, especially if you were like, not in a major city to come pick you up at 2:30, 3:30 in the morning. They had I remember waiting at apartments, bars, restaurants. I remember waiting hours for taxi cabs to show up. They you would call and they'd be like, yeah, they'll be there in two hours. And when you want a taxi cab, you want it. Then you are either so paranoid from the cocaine you've just ingested or so drunk that you're like sloppy. You just want to go home. You don't want to be wherever it is you're at now with Uber, you, you're two minutes away from so nice.
Chris Hoadley
So nice.
Brian Green
And the great thing about Uber and taxis and all, you know, whatever, all the other things that you can, you know, kind of dial up on your phone these days, the great thing is, is that you can cheaply get there and back. So. But in my day, at least when I started drinking my 21 years old, that wasn't a thing. So you took your car to wherever it is you were going, and then you had to make that faithful decision. And no one ever had the fucking common sense to decide ahead of time what they were going to do with the car. So it was always a debate at the end of the night, do I leave my car here and have to come get it before work tomorrow or whatever you were doing the next day, or do I just take the chance that the three mile drive down the street is going to be okay, like I won't get arrested? But of course, you know, 90% of DUIs happen within a mile of somebody's home.
Chris Hoadley
That's right.
Brian Green
So I moved. That's my dad joke for the day. So it was just like a whole different animal back then. Decisions were not. You never made a decision in clear thought. Never once did I go out with a friend and get in the car at the beginning of the night and go, what are we going to do with the car at the end of the night?
Chris Hoadley
No, you just get where you're going.
Brian Green
Yeah. And that includes Chrissy holding. So throwing her under the bus.
Chris Hoadley
We've left many cars at the Brave stadium.
Brian Green
That's. Oh, my God. Yes. But we didn't leave our car at Bonnaroo. No, we didn't, Chrissy.
Chris Hoadley
No, we didn't.
Brian Green
Brian drove it home for you that night. 260 miles back to Atlanta.
Chris Hoadley
This is true.
Brian Green
So, yeah, so. So we go to Disney Junior and I do have to say there was. So we go, we get there early because we have to get a lap seat for one of our children that's 10ft tall and 360 pounds. I mean, I swear, I don't Know what is in the water. I don't know what's in my jizz, but I have made some huge children. They are so big. And I don't mean like fat big. I mean like big kids. They are tall and they are husky. I mean, they're just meaty kids. They're like, you know, and the one, the youngest one of our brood is really big.
Chris Hoadley
She is.
Brian Green
And so we. Astrid is like, we have to get there early because we have to get a lap seat. For now I've already.
Chris Hoadley
Lap seat.
Brian Green
A lap seat is where you basically, there is no seat for the child. She's got to sit on one of your laps. So it's a lap seat.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, okay.
Brian Green
A lap ticket. A lap ticket.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
But they call it a lap seat. Whatever, I don't care. Then listen, I didn't know if there.
Chris Hoadley
Was like a little seat that went in your lap. No, they had to sit in.
Brian Green
Yeah, there is. When you go to the. So here's the crazy part.
Chris Hoadley
I learn about all these things from you, okay?
Brian Green
Since. Since I just spent 27 hours in an airplane with this kid in my lap. Right. It's not a very comfortable thing. And she's really squirrely. I mean, she's like not even 2 years old. She's really squirrely. Every time that I have had a child in an airplane for one of those long haul international flights, they give you an attachment to the seat belt. Basically a seat belt on top of a seatbelt, a seatbelt that clicks onto the other seatbelt so that the kid is safe on this flight. Both of them on the way there, on the way back, both of those airline attendants looked at us and said, no, that's not going to work. Just hold on tight. Just hold on tight is the safety protocol. Hold on tight. Hold on tight. All I could think about in my head was those goddamn TikTok videos where people are flying around in the air because of the turbulence over the ocean and I'm holding on tight to this child who will not sit still. So we go to the Disney Junior. We get there a little bit early as we have to go up to the box office, which. When's the last time you've been to a B.O. office?
Chris Hoadley
I know, but usually just walk right in.
Brian Green
Unbelievably, there are some really what I would consider parents that are standing there trying to pick out their seats last minute for Disney Junior Live. But anyway, let's put that aside. I get the lap seat, we go in, we go to the, you know, whatever they Call it concession stand and get the accoutrements. You know, 17 drinks, 12 buckets of popcorn. $683 later, now I'm $6,000 into one hour of Disney Junior live on a Sunday afternoon. And we go and we sit down. Beef. We are there 20 minutes early, and before the fucking show even starts, all of the kids need more accoutrement. They're all done with the buckets of popcorn, the candy, the drinks. They need more. And I'm like, fuck this, man. You guys just ate a whole. You ate 600 worth of popcorn and candy before the show started, and now you want more? Yeah. God damn, my soft heart. That's all I gotta say. I'm sending these kids to therapy and I don't even know it yet because of my soft heart. I'm so angry inside my head, but all I can do is go, you know, don't be a shithead. Fuck. Don't be like your dad, Brian. Go get that fucking popcorn. Don't be like your dad. We're not getting anything at the show. You can eat before or you can eat after, but it's gonna be no goddamn popcorn.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, I remember sneaking stuff into the movie theater.
Brian Green
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Hoadley
We were gonna buy candy beforehand.
Brian Green
Yeah, that was my mom's move, too. Yeah, but she'd bring, like, an apple. Be like, oh, oh, no.
Chris Hoadley
I remember getting the snow cones or the little snow things. What were those? The chocolate with the little white.
Brian Green
Oh, snow caps.
Chris Hoadley
Snow caps.
Brian Green
Snow caps. Snow caps were good.
Chris Hoadley
Snow caps in forever.
Brian Green
I don't even know if they still make snow caps. I don't think I've seen a snow cap. But I don't know because I've been to a movie theater in years. I mean, I've been to a movie theater, but I don't pay attention to the candy. So I. So there's like this countdown on the stage, right? There's this pretend DJ who comes out and starts, you know, playing it, hamming it up for the kids. Hey, atl, you want to hear your favorite Disney Junior song? Everyone starts screaming bloody murder, and there's this countdown on the stage as if we're waiting for Taylor Swift to appear, right? 10 minutes and then his countdown. And so I tell the kids, I'm shut the fuck up for 10 minutes. And when this thing. When I. When the show starts, then I'll go to the concession stand, because right now I know what's going on. There's 3,000 parents with their shitty little children screaming and yelling about whatever Candy they want. I don't want to wait in line for an hour. So when the show starts, I go, okay, I'm going to go get another round of whatever popcorn and candy. I go up there, it's empty except for just a couple of stragglers. Couple of us smart people who decide that after the show starts is when we're going to the concession stage again. Thank you very much, Chrissy. I'm smart. I'm the guy who goes. I'm the guy who goes during the best song the band has to offer live to go get a beer.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Because I think I'm being smart. And then everybody for the next next 10 years talks about how great that one song was. You know the Tweezer reprise by fish? That was 17 minutes long. And Brian is taking a piss, smoking a cigarette and buying beers for everybody. Do you Remember Tweezer Reprise93? No, I don't because I was wearing my doc Marten, smelling like patchouli, buying beer. So I'm waiting in line in front of one lady. One lady. There's three concession stand attendants. They are all paying attention to somebody. They're all taking care of somebody. And we're in the middle line. And when it gets to this lady's turn, the attendant just takes off. She just leaves.
Chris Hoadley
Lunch break.
Brian Green
Yeah, lunch break.
Chris Hoadley
See you later.
Brian Green
See you later. No. And this. But I think my impression of what happened because I was watching it was the lady was just going to get something. She was like refilling the cups or something. I didn't think she was gone because I thought I heard her say, hold on just one minute. That's what I thought I heard her say. It is. We are not three seconds into this and the lady in front of me is throwing a full blown conniption fit. Did you see the lady? Did you see where she went? I don't want to get involved. So I'm like, I don't know.
Chris Hoadley
Right? Yeah.
Brian Green
What kind of. What kind of. What kind of person just runs off? I was standing right here and I'm like, lady, I don't, you know, what do you want me to do? She's talking to me. Why do you have to get me involved in your bullshit? You know what I'm saying? Like, don't get me involved in your drama. I don't want anything to do with it. If you're looking for me to commiserate with you about the situation, there is nobody in this concession area. We had to wait exactly one second to be attended to. And it's Disney fucking Junior Live. You're not missing a goddamn thing. I can promise you Puppy Dog Pals is on every three seconds.
Chris Hoadley
I would actually prefer to be out in the.
Brian Green
Exactly, Chrissy.
Chris Hoadley
Concessions.
Brian Green
I consider that I'm getting the good end of this. I'll wait for an hour if I have to. Astrid can care for the kids. What do I need a lap seat? Let the kids sit on my seat. I don't care. This lady starts fussing and moaning. There are two other people being attended to on the left and the right. And she is, like, butting in. She's like moving her body right in front of the other person. Excuse me. Excuse me. I was here. I was here first and then that lady took off. I was here and I was like, holy wow. This is what's wrong with this country. This is what's wrong with this country. No one gives a shit. You are not special or privileged. You were not born with any special right to be attended to before anybody else. A little situation has happened and you could have handled it much more delicately than this. You could have said, rev down. It's old. Rev fucking down, says the guy who's yelling and screaming into the microphone. You could have just been a polite human being and said, excuse me, did the lady close her lane or do I need to get into another line? That's all that needed to be said. But she is literally scooting her body first to the right. Then the lady at the right is like, I really don't know. I'm sorry. Then she moves to the person on the left and she's like, excuse me, I was here first and then that lady left and I need something. And the guy was like, hey, listen, hold on one second and I'll address you. Chrissy. She has now disturbed every. The six of us that are in line for this. She's now disturbed everybody. We're all really irritated. So she turns around to me again and is like, can you believe this? And I said exactly, Almost exactly what I just said to you. I said, it's really not that big of a deal. There's just a couple people in line. You'll get attended to in just a minute. And she was like. She looks at me.
Chris Hoadley
She didn't agree.
Brian Green
She didn't agree whatsoever. But I thought it was important to point out that you're really acting like a dum dum for no fucking reason whatsoever. Again, Disney fucking Junior. Not Bruce Springsteen's last concert ever. You know what I'm saying? This isn't this Isn't the Beatles Reunite from Heaven? This is Disney junior Live. No one's upset. And by the way, you're in line by yourself, which indicates to me that you either don't have children or someone else is attending to your children. It's not. Not that big of a deal.
Chris Hoadley
Do you think there's parents there that went.
Brian Green
There are definitely human beings that show up that don't have children. They're probably on some kind of list somewhere. But I think that there are definitely people who show up to that Disney junior Live that do not have children. Why? I don't know, but I just suspect that if it's a crowd of 3,000, I'm guessing there's at least 10. At least 10 human beings, probably male, probably females.
Chris Hoadley
Definitely on a list.
Brian Green
Yes, for sure. Definitely on a list. But I just want to point out, like, the. The world doesn't have to be so ugly. And it can start with you, lady like you. You can start the world to be a little less ugly by being a little less ugly. That's it. All you had to do was just ask politely, what's going on? We were standing in line. The lady left. Is she off? Do I need to stand into another line or should I continue to wait? And by the way, after five full minutes of her having a conniption fit, she ran off into another concession stand altogether. She, like, threw a fit and then just left. And guess what?
Chris Hoadley
And the lady.
Brian Green
The lady came back. And there I was. Ready to be served?
Chris Hoadley
Of course.
Brian Green
Can I get another $686 worth of popcorn, lays, potato chips, and lemonade? Thank you very much. Your card has been declined. Take mercy on me. Just let me have it, please, for the love of God.
Chris Hoadley
Anyway, what an experience.
Brian Green
Oh, it's just. It's just so much fun. These are the funnest things we've now been to. Disney Junior on Ice. Disney on Ice, Disney Junior Live. The Puppy Dog Pals live. What? The Bluey Live. I don't know how many.
Chris Hoadley
I've been to that Disney on Ice, and that was pretty cool.
Brian Green
Yeah, Disney on Ice is a thing. I mean, I've now seen it like, 16 times, so.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, I've just seen it once.
Brian Green
Kind of the same thing over and over again.
Chris Hoadley
It was cool.
Brian Green
Did you take one of the girls to go see it?
Chris Hoadley
No, we took my nephews.
Brian Green
Oh, you took your nephews to go see it? Yeah, the kids really love it. I mean, a couple of my kids. One of my kids in particular. I think it's clear to me that he has gotten too old for this because he was singing along a little bit, but he didn't get quite as excited as the younger ones did. And the whole time all he wanted to do was ask me if he could get more candy or a toy.
Chris Hoadley
The important thing.
Brian Green
And by the way, all these little running around this Fox theater last night, they all had this. There's always one toy that everyone buys. It's always light up and bothers everybody else in the crowd. And I don't know why. Whoever runs this, it's not Disney. I think it's like a franchise that does this, but you know, Feld Entertainment or something. I don't know why they decide to make the most annoying obnoxious toy for every single event that they put on. So that everyone else around them can be annoyed by it. It. It's literally a Mickey Mouse spinning super fast with a. With five strings that have light up Mickey Mouse heads on the bottom. So when you press the button, the five Mickey Mouse heads that are lit up start spinning at a hundred thousand miles per hour. My kids would. I told my kids before we go, this is Astrid and I, because we've learned this lesson. Under no circumstances are we going to buy any toy or souvenir. When you go to the actual Disney World or a Disney cruise or whatever it is, you can buy an actual Disney item. This is a piece of. That's going to cost 312.
Chris Hoadley
Oh yeah, that's. Price gouging is crazy, right?
Brian Green
That's gonna break before we even get out of this event. Well, it doesn't matter how many times you prep them for this. The second we get in the door and they see that they have to have it. They have to have it. But I hold my ground.
Chris Hoadley
Good for you.
Brian Green
Until about intermission when I take one of the kids to the bathroom and as I'm walking back, there's like a guy standing there, you know, get your Mickey Mouse. You know, get your Mickey Mouse murder weapon here. Swear to God, those things look like they can hurt people. But he's only taking cash. Like he's standing in the middle of the room screaming and yelling about these Mickey things. But he's only taking cash, so there's no line anywhere. They take a credit card, there's a line out the door. So I just might like. My soft heart goes, okay, if it's less than $20, maybe. Excuse me, sir, how much are the Mickey Mouse. Spin your head off. How much is that piece of crap? That was made in Taiwan and He says, no, $42. 42. $42. And I go, and you're only taking cash? And he goes, yes. And I go, is this why you have no line?
Chris Hoadley
And he said, yes.
Brian Green
He goes, smart guy. I go, I know I am. Because no one has 42 in cash on them anymore. No. And I thought. And so I looked at my kid and I. I literally said the following words, son, There is no way. No way. There's no way I'm buying a 42 spinning Mickey head that is going to, first of all, kill somebody, and second of all, is going to be broken by the time we get home. It's going to be broken. I'm not spending $42 on something that's.
Chris Hoadley
Going to break and then also thrown to the wayside a week later.
Brian Green
They don't care about it. That's the thing. They want it. They want it. They want it. They don't care about it. And to be fair, all humans are like that.
Stephen Maxwell
True.
Brian Green
We want it. We want it. We want it. And unless it's like a $50,000 Rolex, we don't give a shit about it. But it's scare. Think of how many pieces of clothing or things that you've gotten that you're so excited to get and within hours you're like, I don't give a. You know what some people don't give a. About women. Chrissy, I just wanted to let you know that some people on this earth just don't give a shit about women. And it's one of the sad but prevailing things undercurrent pinning our society today. And I think a lot of that has to do possibly with religion and the way that religious. Some. Some religion or some people who interpret religious text decide that women are less important in society and they should always be subservient to men. I found a gentleman. I would call him a. I guess a televangelist, but I don't think he's ever really been on television. More like a YouTube evangelist is probably what it is with 25 subscribers. But he's preaching the good news. 25, Chrissy.
Stephen Maxwell
Wow.
Brian Green
And this video we're going to review today has four views. Five now that we're watching it. But this guy, I'm telling you right now, even though this is probably one of the more interesting ways to. And like interesting ways to hear this message, this message is not from just one guy with five subscribers. This is a message that has being sprayed all over the place by people with large and small followings. It's Been a long time since we've reviewed any kind of televangelist.
Chris Hoadley
This is true.
Brian Green
Or any kind of preacher or religious text. And so I thought, here on this most holy of days, Election day. Here on this most holy of days. I was watching a video how Trump was talking about the Bible. It's my favorite book. I've got 70, 70 Bibles. Got them all over the house. So it's hard not to interpret the election day, but anything but a holy day.
Chris Hoadley
Chrissy, that makes sense.
Brian Green
And I thought on this most holy of days, you and I should go back to the well, back where it all started. If you do remember, we did episode number two.
Chris Hoadley
We started with the evangelist.
Brian Green
That's right. We started with the televangelist. It's been a long time since we visited him today. I thought today was a great day to listen to some of the prevailing thoughts that the religious scholars have on women so that we could just kind of put you in your place.
Chris Hoadley
Praise God.
Brian Green
Praise. Praise Jesus.
Chris Hoadley
What was that one?
Brian Green
The Father Son.
Chris Hoadley
And what was that one that we reviewed that one time? And then we heard the guy in the background.
Brian Green
What did he say? Oh, I can't remember. Oh, that was a good one. I do remember that, but I don't remember what he said. All right, so let's take a break and we got a special episode coming up with you. Coming up for you as we interpret the religious text of Jesus Christ. We'll be back. Since you clearly haven't had enough of.
Chris Hoadley
Me yet, I am back to yap in your ear and subsequently gently into your heart to tell you to follow.
Brian Green

You can also check out our website, tcbpodcast.com if you feel like Peru bruising our catalog or if you're just bored. Now, let's listen to some sponsors because they keep me paid. This episode is sponsored in part by ZBiotics pre alcohol. Let's face it, most of us are not 21 years old partying like we used to. We have to make the choice between a great night or a great morning after. At least that's what we thought, Chrissy and I, until we tried pre alcohol. I don't drink a whole bunch anymore and I was on the fence about this one. But a few weeks ago, Aster and I went out for some drinks for my birthday. The pre alcohol was sitting on the counter and I decided why not give it a try. And let me tell you, pre alcohol is the real deal. ZBiotics Pre alcohol Probiotic Drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. This was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Let me tell you how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in your gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for your rough next morning. But pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. You just need to remember to make ZBiotics your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and then you're going to feel your best tomorrow. I kept hearing about pre alcohol and I wondered what is it actually like? Now that I've tried it, I get why everyone is talking about it. And with their GMO technology, ZBiotics is continuing to invent probiotics that will help the everyday challenges of modern living.

All right, so no shit. So let's talk about this real talk for a second. So one of the, you know, I don't know how this happened, but politics over the last probably eight or 10 years has taken on in certain sectors a particularly religious tone, right people? Even though, even though the Constitution dictates that there should be some separation between church and state, that's never really been the truth throughout our history. I mean, we've got it on our fucking dollar bill. God we Trust. And so, but religion is religion and politics have kind of taken over in my opinion, and taken on, in my opinion, a particularly nasty tone over the last eight years with a lot of these preachers, evangelists, and you know what I would consider conservative Christians kind of like brow beating women into their place because I think they're really scared that women have any kind of say in anything whatsoever. And. And some of this comes from the Bible where they. I think they just misinterpret text. And I mean, not that I hold any particular weight in the Bible, but let's just say for a second that you do believe in those words. Some of these guys especially take these words and they twist them into their own will. Well, our friend Steven Maxwell, I think that's his name. Steven Maxwell.
Chris Hoadley
A really friend is a strong word.
Brian Green
What a handsome man Stephen is. Stephen from his backyard yard is giving a speech, a preach, if you will. Chrissy.
Chris Hoadley
His backyard, that's also got a couch. Lazy boy. And I. I don't even know what's going on here.
Brian Green
When I go to someone's house and there is living room furniture in the backyard, I know I'm exactly where I need to be. Yeah. Yes. There's couches and sofas in his backyard along with junk. I think that's just the best way to. The best way to put it. But that will not deter Stephen from preaching to the masses, Chrissy. And by the masses, I mean, I'm not even kidding. This has seven views. Two of those are me. So we're at seven views now, to be fair. This is four years old. And Stephen may have changed his tune since then, but.
Chris Hoadley
Probably not.
Brian Green
Probably not. Let's take a listen to what Stephen has to say about a particular passage in the Bible. That a lot of these. And by the way, this is. It's not just Stephen like people. And I say Stephen like people. I mean, probably people who have never seen a woman, let alone. Let alone touched one. But like really popular young evangelists who are taking this exact scripture, like these two paragraphs in the Bible and twisting them into women, into the thought that women should be subservient to a man in almost every way. Almost every time. Which to me is just. I don't know. Why do we hate women so much? I love them. Quite frankly, I love them. Me too. I'm just all into it. I love it. Here we go. Let's. Let's take a listen to what Stephen has to say. Let me not put words in Stephen's mouth. But Stephen put plenty of words in his own mouth. Slow start on.
Stephen Maxwell
And a very good evening to you. My name is Stephen Maxwell and I. Maxwell.
Brian Green
Steven Maxwell.
Chris Hoadley
Is he missing one front tooth?
Brian Green
He's missing about four of them.
Chris Hoadley
Okay.
Brian Green
Yes.
Chris Hoadley
I just wanted to be sure.
Brian Green
He's missing four front teeth, but one of them is really long, large, and the one he has is really large.
Stephen Maxwell
Okay, I'd like to preach to you and teach you on the word of God. And it will be a woman. What is her place in the church and in the home. Precious Father, we thank you for all you've done.
Brian Green
Oh, let us talk to the precious Father.
Stephen Maxwell
All you ever going to do. We pray now that you would move, oh God, in your word, pray, O Lord, as this stuff has been going through my mind, through my heart, for.
Brian Green
Many, many, through my penis for many.
Stephen Maxwell
Many, many years, hours and many, many days. We pray today that you would move, O Lord, and help us speak that which you have let us be spoken.
Brian Green
What did he just say? I love when they do this opening, this opening, you know, monologue that no words were spoken there. By the way, let us be the spoken that God has let us be spoken. It makes no sense when it spoken. Just letting you know that.
Stephen Maxwell
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. If we should censor something, Lord, help us do it. In Jesus name, amen. And amen. If you will please go with me to the first book of Corinthians.
Brian Green
Which of the two people that have watched this video are going to go with you? Stephen?
Stephen Maxwell
The first book of Corinthians will start at chapter 14. The first book of Corinthians will start at chapter 14.
Brian Green
Now, there's a glitch in the Matrix. He said it twice in a per.
Stephen Maxwell
On a personal note and as a scriptural conviction, I do not believe the woman should be telling the man what to do at all.
Brian Green
Says the guy that's never seen a real live woman. Says the guy who's never touched a woman. Oh, my God. Okay?
Stephen Maxwell
And I do not believe a woman in authority or have an authority place at all, including the police, the fire, mayors, presidents, governors, etc.
Chris Hoadley
Is he reading from the Bible or.
Brian Green
No, he's saying this himself. Yeah. First of all, what a. What kind of fucking affectation does this guy have on his voice? It's so weird. It sounds like he has been literally listening. You remember when I told you I walked into a gas station one time and I heard a radio station that was playing nothing but these preachers who all speak like this by way. By the way, all speak like this in this weird affectation and tone of, you know, fire and damnation and all this. I feel like Stephen has been probably by his parents locked in a closet, listening to this particular radio station for way Too long.
Chris Hoadley
He has to.
Brian Green
He's mimicking what they sound like. It's really weird.
Stephen Maxwell
And I sure don't believe in women pastors. Evangelists, fine, but I don't believe in women pastors.
Brian Green
Well, he does give a pass to the evangelist. Chrissy, let's. Let us not think he has a progressive mind. Thanks be to Jesus.
Stephen Maxwell
I believe that a woman lies on God when she says she is a pastor. So let's. Let's just get that out of the way.
Brian Green
Right, well, now that we got the good stuff out of the way, Stephen.
Stephen Maxwell
First Corinthians, chapter 14 and verse 34. Let your women keep silence in the churches, for it has not permitted them unto them.
Brian Green
Do you believe women should be dentists, Stephen?
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, he mentioned. Did he mention governors?
Brian Green
Governors, firefighters, waitresses, police.
Stephen Maxwell
Speak. But they are commanded to be under obedience.
Brian Green
As also, I want to point out there's a dog in the background laying on one of the sofas. And the dog's got up and now he's leaving.
Chris Hoadley
Here goes Stephen again.
Brian Green
Yeah, I can't even believe he's saying.
Chris Hoadley
I need to take.
Brian Green
Yeah.
Stephen Maxwell
And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. Now let me also go to Genesis.
Brian Green
Oh, please, let us go to Genesis.
Chris Hoadley
I can't stop watching the dog.
Brian Green
I know. The dog is. The dog is spinning circles. The dog has been driven crazy by Stephen's non stop chattering.
Stephen Maxwell
Good evening to you.
Brian Green
This is why I think we need to start having a. You should have a. You know, you have to have a driver's license and a license to fish. I think some people should have a license to be online if I'm being on.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Stephen Maxwell
We also go to Genesis.
Brian Green
We heard you captivating, Stephen.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Stephen Maxwell
Chapter two.
Chris Hoadley
He's on point.
Brian Green
He's on point.
Stephen Maxwell
And verse 21. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam. And he slipped and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the real which the Lord God had taken from man, man made he a woman.
Brian Green
And then I went to Chili's and had additional ribs. That's the only kind of rib Steven knows about.
Stephen Maxwell
And brought her unto the man. And Adam said, this is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken. Taken out of a man.
Brian Green
Therefore you shall make me chicken wings every Tuesday to my heart's desire. And make me chicken fingers, the dinosaur kind, if you don't mind. Barbecue sauce on the side.
Stephen Maxwell
Shall a man leave his father and mother? Not cleave to his father and mother, but leave his father and mother not put a pacifier in his mouth and call mommy all the time anytime he has a problem with his wife?
Brian Green
Is that exactly what Genesis. The book according to Stephen? Yeah, Stephen, I don't think the word pacifier is anywhere in Genesis. He's now he's making up.
Stephen Maxwell
And they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife. And were not ashamed.
Brian Green
And so I have been reviewing only fans and found many a naked woman and man while eating my ribs with a pacifier in my mouth.
Stephen Maxwell
Truly, that should be the only time. And I know a lot of us are not innocent on that part, but truly, that should be the only time when a man and a woman is naked in front of each other.
Brian Green
Oh, Stephen admits he's been naked in front of plenty of women. Not now.
Chris Hoadley
Wait, what was he saying?
Brian Green
He's making no sense. He's saying that when a man and a woman lay with each other should be the only time that they're naked with each other. Other on that part.
Stephen Maxwell
But truly, that should be the only time when a man and a woman is naked in front of each other is when they are on their honeymoon or after they have said I do.
Brian Green
Well, thanks, Stephen, for the clarity.
Stephen Maxwell
Let me be very frank, ladies.
Brian Green
By the way, that's ex. That's exactly what has happened with Astrid and I. Only on our honeymoon were we naked in front of each other.
Stephen Maxwell
If the. If the man in. Don't put a ring on it. And they're not going to say I do, you don't. And for those teenage young ladies who are dating at this time, I.
Brian Green
Because I imagine that Stephen's got a huge crowd of teenage young ladies that are watching his.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Brian Green
Sensation man who sound.
Stephen Maxwell
Sounds just like a. A walrus right now with his pimply face self and no house, no car, no money.
Chris Hoadley
Sounds like a walrus.
Stephen Maxwell
I would be glad to tell him that you. You need to be 35 years old. And ladies, you need to tell that individual that you're going to have your own cash, your own home and your own car, ladies. Your own cash, your own home and your own car. And that he needs to do the same before he ever thinks about asking for another day.
Brian Green
Like, what was your world is he talking about?
Chris Hoadley
No idea.
Brian Green
The men need to be 35 to date the 18 year old to date those teenage young girls.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, okay.
Brian Green
And they. But the girls need to have their own cash, their own house and their own car in order to go on a date with that 35 year old. I would say that this took a progressive turn that I did not expect. Now expect Stephen to have the views that a woman should have her own car, house, her own life. Her own life. Life. Because it seems like Stephen's pretty clear he doesn't want women doing anything. Not any. He doesn't want to interact with women on any kind of professional level. I think he just wants to lay naked with them. But only after the honeymoon, Chrissy.
Stephen Maxwell
Or marriage. And. And to be very honest with you, if the man is not going to provide for you, and I just read that scripture in silence recently, that if he's not able to provide.
Brian Green
Thanks for sharing that.
Stephen Maxwell
Right. Then you need to kick him to the cart.
Chris Hoadley
I think the dog is looking at the balls.
Brian Green
That dog is giving his own commentary. This is what I think.
Stephen Maxwell
I'm stupid. Want to tell about the women? I'm going to tell the men too. Okay. If you're not able to break out the $100 bills to support your wife or your kids, I would highly suggest you think about staying single for a while, Preacher brother.
Brian Green
Look at Stephen.
Stephen Maxwell
Okay? If you're not able to purchase groceries on the spot, if you're not able to put gas in the. In the tank just like that, then you do not need to have a wife or children.
Brian Green
Well, now you're talking my language. What's up, Chrissy? Girl? Hey, girl, what you been doing?
Chris Hoadley
What's up?
Brian Green
You looking good. You looking good. But you know, my boy Justin Biebs has been in a bit of trouble lately. He's been hanging out with P. Diddy and stuff. That's okay, girl. I see you listen to my friend here, Steven Maxwell. He's got the goods. He knows if you can't break out that hundred dollar bill, girl, you better not be dropping that trial, you know what I'm saying? Luckily, your boy Carl here has got plenty of money just skimming off the top, if you know what I mean, girl. So before Carl goes preaching on a full dick, I thought I just might stop by and let you know that if you. I am 35 years old. I have already been on my honeymoon. He didn't specify I had to have sex with my wife on the honeymoon. He just said anytime I'd be lake and nay and naked with women should be after my honeymoon. I have been on my honeymoon and I got the $100 bill. So what do you think, girl?
Chris Hoadley
Oh, yeah, drop that. That cash.
Brian Green
You drop that trial. I dropped that.
Chris Hoadley
Stags attack.
Brian Green
Listen, just one thing. I do need to baptize you before I have sex with you because I don't want you. I can't have any of that impure pussy, if you know what I mean. I was rapping with Stephen the other day. We were preaching in silence and he was sharing with me that I don't want an impure dick. I don't need to be oozing Satan's fire, if you know what I mean. I already had that happen once. Girl penicillin takes care of it. So listen, I'm gonna stop by your mom's house, I'm gonna drop a stack of cats and then send me some photos. You know what I'm saying?
Chris Hoadley
I'm on it.
Brian Green
Okay? Neck down. Thanks, girl. Talk to you later, Carl. Out. Oh, Carl, you do not think you'd.
Stephen Maxwell
Be able to take correction off your in laws. Don't even start dating, okay? Because it's gonna happen.
Brian Green
Well, take correction. How do we get here from there? How did we get from. Stephen doesn't want win doing any. Stephen doesn't want women talking to make sure that women are independent, strong creatures. I don't know. But all of a sudden I like Stephen. Now I'm. Now I'm with Stephen and even the dogs chilled out in the background.
Stephen Maxwell
Most. Most of the time. Your divorce ends in three different ways.
Chris Hoadley
Money we have gone from that is a wide range that we have gone from. Now quoting about, you know, Adam and Eve and how they were made. Then jump to independent women.
Brian Green
Independent women laying naked. 35.
Chris Hoadley
Somebody has to be 35. Then you better be able to take direction from your in laws. And then now divorce.
Brian Green
Now divorce. And by the way, he said there's one of three ways a divorce ends. Divorce is usually the end. Just sharing that with you, Stephen, but keep going, please.
Stephen Maxwell
You can't get along with the family or the kids, okay? Especially if you have a ready made family. All right?
Brian Green
What is a ready made family? Is that like those biscuits you buy at the store? Instant, you know, where you pop the can and it scares you every time.
Chris Hoadley
I love those biscuits.
Brian Green
Oh, man, those biscuits. Those flaky crusty biscuits. Probably made of some kind of radiant active cement or something.
Stephen Maxwell
Woman. Let me get back to the woman. Now. The woman is made from the man. Man. And if we find it biblical, it'd be Jesus Christ. The man, the woman, the child. That's the way of the. That's the order of things in the house. Now, did I say that? The woman.
Brian Green
Well, I don't know, but I think Astrid has missed that particular scriptural passage, because in my house, it goes woman, children, blue Brian. Yes, that's how it goes in this household.
Stephen Maxwell
Used to be barefoot and pregnant. I could care less if they get on the ceiling fan and swish around like they're a gorilla.
Chris Hoadley
What?
Stephen Maxwell
Okay.
Brian Green
No.
Stephen Maxwell
Okay. But they ought not to think that they're in authority over the man, over the house, but over the children.
Chris Hoadley
But it's okay to swing around from the fan.
Brian Green
It's okay to swing from the fan like a gorilla. Have your own money, have your own car.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Make sure that your parents are busting the balls of the husband. Husband. But let them not have any authority in the house. I think Stephen's a little confused, Chrissy, if I got to put it out there, honestly, I think so. I think Stephen doesn't know what he's talking about. This is what happens when you give a guy like Stephen a microphone and a camera. And Brian and Chrissy also. All right. Plenty more Stephen where that came from. We'll be back. In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner and I know never get to leave.

Steven Maxwell, the very noted YouTube preacher. Stephen Maxwell. The 25.
Chris Hoadley
Seven views.
Brian Green
27 views, Chrissy. But 25 YouTube followers. He's amassed quite a following in the last four years. Stephen is teaching us how the women have no place in society, basically, but do make sure that the women do make sure that the men take care of the women and that the women have their own cash, car and house before you date them. So I'm, I'm just as confused as you are, Chrissy. But let us not be, let us not be slowed down by confusion. Confusion. Let us plow ahead.
Stephen Maxwell
Okay? And anytime a woman wants to run the house over a man and go against her husband's authority, scriptural authority, according as God has made it, then her hind end needs to pack her bags.
Brian Green
Her hind end needs to get off the ceiling fan, man, climb down off the walls and leave the house. That'll show him. Yeah, nothing's going to show him, Stephen, like leaving. She's going to feel free as a bird and he's going to be left cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes and the laundry all by himself. How about this? How about we split those responsibilities and we call it a day?
Stephen Maxwell
Stay, please, and leave the house. In my opinion, or the man, I.
Chris Hoadley
Think that's what happened in his case.
Brian Green
Case. I, I think that's what he would have wanted to happen had he ever been with a woman. I, I highly doubt that they. I mean, I don't know though. You know, unbelievably, Chrissy, there are many, many, many women who subscribe to this theory. And there are people, there are women on YouTube with millions of views that are trad wipes that absolutely buy into this.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Now if you buy into to this, if this is your way of living, if you make a conscious decision that I want the man to be the head of the household and I'd like to be subservient to his every needs, I'm going to be in service of my husband. God bless you. But I don't think here's, here's where I kind of get it twisted, is when the man puts this down on the woman, like, or when you feel that you're going to hell. Hell, because you're not doing that. That to me sounds like manipulation, emotional brainwashing. Emotional brainwashing. And that to me is twisted. It's just fucked up. Listen, I don't think Christy and I have said this a million times. Every time we do it, every time we do a preacher something on religion, we have to always disclaim this and. Okay, I get, I get it. I don't think that religion is bad. Wholesale fails, full stop. I think there are a lot of people who are religious, whatever religion it is, that are fantastic human beings and religion is a vehicle. It's a place that they feel safe. It's a thing that they believe. They love their faith and they do good works out of that faith.
Chris Hoadley
Yes.
Brian Green
In the service of whatever it is they believe in. And then for that I thank you for adding just a little bit more good into this world. Quite frankly. The story of Jesus Christ is a fantastic story and I wish we were all a little bit more like that dude. But so many people twist these words into horseshit like this guy does. And there are other people who unfortunately believe it or they're stuck believing it because that's all their friends and family know. That's all that they have known their entire life. My hope is, Chrissy, when we do these videos is that we get more sponsors and more downloads. Let's get back to Stephen Kiss Bags.
Stephen Maxwell
And leave the house but somebody has got to stay in authority. Elsewise, the house is in a coup d'etat and it's in a wreck.
Brian Green
Have you ever had children, Stephen? It's a. It is a literally a slow motion coup d'etat until you die and they put you in an old. Until they put that you in an old person's home and you die.
Stephen Maxwell
You understand? And if. If the woman is not going to leave, then the man needs to leave, okay? It's going to hurt the kids. It's going to hurt the church that you go to. Your. Everybody is going to disapprove. Everybody's going to start talking about you. Let me give you an example. I'll give you myself as an example.
Brian Green
Here we go.
Chris Hoadley
I know it.
Brian Green
Well, at least Stephen's being honest. The church is going to disapprove. People are going to start talking. I hear them talking. Talking about Stephen, man.
Chris Hoadley
Yes. Said the solution is one of the parents should just leave.
Brian Green
Dad. Just leave.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
Yeah, that's it. Chrissy, you want to listen to me? I'm out. I told you. Pancakes with blueberries.
Chris Hoadley
The people at church are talking bad about it.
Brian Green
These are strawberries. I'm out.
Stephen Maxwell
You live in a small town.
Brian Green
Did you hear about the strawberries and the blueberry incident at the Hly house?
Chris Hoadley
It's crazy.
Stephen Maxwell
Now, in 24 hours or 48 hours, everybody's gonna know what you did. Okay? So just to give you an example, I didn't put up with it, and I wouldn't suggest anybody else put up with it, all right?
Brian Green
Oh, okay. You want to give us any detail on that, Stephen? Or you just want to let us know that 48 hours later everybody knew about it? I want to know what you did. What did you do? You left your household. I highly doubt that she left. She left and that. And. But Stephen's twisting it. Stephen's now making a YouTube video to let everybody know what's going on.
Stephen Maxwell
The woman is made for the man and the man is made for the woman. And they are both of God. For we move and have our being and breathe and live through Jesus Christ. Do I.
Brian Green
Okay, okay. Whatever that means living and breathing through Jesus Christ.
Stephen Maxwell
Suggest divorce. I would suggest divorce over murder one charges.
Brian Green
What? Whoa.
Chris Hoadley
Murder one?
Brian Green
Somebody called the Valdosta Police Department because I think Stephen has lost his.
Stephen Maxwell
Yeah, I would suggest. I would suggest separation for a time over assault charges or domestic assault. All that. I would. Yes.
Brian Green
Well, thanks for that wise advice. Do I have to pay for that, Stephen?
Stephen Maxwell
And. And I. I would. I would Greatly suggest that you get to know each other and you get to know each other's temper and attitude and all that. Okay. Before anything happens. You understand?
Brian Green
No, I watch Love is Blind and I think his range marriages are awesome.
Stephen Maxwell
By the way, Pepper says hello.
Chris Hoadley
Pepper.
Brian Green
That's Pepper the dog. Pepper the penis looking dog. Pepper.
Stephen Maxwell
But this is. Some of these situations are very difficult to teach and preach upon. It. It is.
Brian Green
But luckily God has given you the.
Chris Hoadley
Wisdom, Stephen, to muddle your blue sweatshirt.
Brian Green
That's right. To mumble through YouTube in your blue on blue on blue sweatshirt. By the way, how many shirts are you wearing today, Steven?
Chris Hoadley
There's so few going on.
Brian Green
You look like Steve Bannon.
Stephen Maxwell
The fact that the woman is the weaker vessel. Who was the first one that ate the fruit? The woman. Who's the one that's the childbearing? The woman.
Brian Green
Okay, let's just stop there for a second because, Stephen, if you think that bearing a child makes you the weaker of the sexual. Yeah, go ahead, Stephen. You've been burying a Chili's Fried onion baby for seems like 20 or 30 years. When's that shit coming out, Stephen? Giving birth, I think, is universally understood to be one of the more difficult things a human being has to go through and then forget about giving the birth, quite frankly. And I never went through this, but I'm just making an assumption on Astrid's behalf. Giving birth was the easy fucking part. Then you have to stick with them for the next 18 years. Rat balls.
Stephen Maxwell
Woman is the weaker vessel.
Brian Green
You try going to Disney junior Live four years in a row.
Stephen Maxwell
Is she weak minded? I did not say she was weak minded. I said she's the weaker vessel. In other words, she cannot lead a church. She cannot be in authority. It'll break her.
Brian Green
Oh, I got it. 10, 4. She's not the weaker mind. She's just the weaker mind. Okay, yeah. She's not the weaker mind, Chrissy. She's just the stupider one. Will break her break.
Stephen Maxwell
Whether they want to hear it or not. It will eventually break them. Okay.
Chris Hoadley
Even as a church, I'm so confused.
Brian Green
Oh, my God. This is the one thing that a lot of I. I have reviewed so many of these videos about this same passage. Young, old, popular, not popular. I've just seen so much of this crap on YouTube. YouTube and all of them, Universe, like, he takes it to the extreme and says, you know, fire department, police officers, mayors, presidents. He doesn't believe anybody in authority should be female. There are others who are a little less rigid on that whole part of It. But they all universally believe two things. If you believe in this particular passage, you believe two things. Number one, the woman's place in the household is to be subservient to the husband. And number two, under no circumstances should they be leading a church because that is directly against God's will. Because the church is the house of the community. It's the church of the people. It's the church of humanity. It's the house. Yeah. The. The. The person in charge of that particular house always needs to be a man, which is just horseshit. You. All you need to do is look at any passage in history where anybody has died to know that men have a. They have a pretty terrible track record of leading things. Give the women a chance for a while. I mean, you know, except for that one. Who's that lady who chopped off everybody's heads? Marie Antoinette?
Stephen Maxwell
Wife. That. That I know. Okay. Even as a pastor's wife of several. That I know. Okay. They are crying in front of the saints. They are in fear of the saints. Let me tell you pastors wife something. The more you show fear and the more you show them that you have a weakness, the greater they're going to go after you. There are wolves in sheep's clothing. And even though you help carry that staff, I'm going to tell you now. There are wolves in sheep's clothing. There are people who want to see you hurt. There are people.
Brian Green
Why everybody taking this so seriously? Why do people want to see people hurt? What's the big deal? It's just a little bit of fun.
Stephen Maxwell
Who want to see your weakness? Do not be crying in front of the saints of God. Do not show weakness in front of the saints of God. And if you have to, let me say this on behalf for all. Put your fist in their face.
Chris Hoadley
What?
Brian Green
What? Whoa.
Chris Hoadley
Oh, my God.
Brian Green
Stephen. Where? Dude, what are you talking about? You're telling women that they're the weaker mind, that they shouldn't lead the church, they shouldn't be head of the household. They shouldn't be, you know, all kinds of professions that you see as positions of leadership in the community. Community. But if you have to punch the guy, what does that even mean? What are you trying to say? I really want, like, I wish I could have Stephen on the phone and ask him exactly who hurt his feelings.
Stephen Maxwell
Okay? Heaven coming by violence and the violent, take it by force. And whether you go to jail or not, you do not need to show a weakness to any saint in the church. And whatever you say or whatever they.
Brian Green
Do, who Are the saints in the church? Are they alive or dead? Are they ghosts?
Chris Hoadley
Silence. Before. He was saying the before assault. You should just walk away.
Brian Green
Oh, Stephen, get it together, man. Take a minute. Go hang out with Pepper. Yeah, hang on the couch with Pepper and come back and talk some sense.
Stephen Maxwell
It does not matter. They were coming up against you in threat and they were threatening your life. As far as I'm concerned, they were a threat to your life, and you, you were protecting yourself. Take your fist and ram them right down the throat. Geez, I hope each and every one of you understand me. Do not take trash off of anybody.
Chris Hoadley
I do not understand at all.
Brian Green
I think this is what happens when you live in a rural area and there's not a whole lot to do except for go to church, and everybody starts taking this just a little bit too seriously. I'm just saying this is like universal rule, you know, attitudes or moods.
Chris Hoadley
I think something happened where he did get into a fight at church is what I'm kind of with a woman.
Brian Green
Who was crying in front of the saints. Yeah.
Chris Hoadley
And now he's been banned from church, and that's why he's there.
Brian Green
That's right. Atlanta Falcons cry in front of the saints twice a season.
Stephen Maxwell
Ghost field or not, do not take trash off of anybody, okay? I don't care what these saints say, I don't care what these people say, I don't care what evangelists say, and I don't care what pastor say, friend. Don't take trash off of anyone. I'm talking to you pastors. I'm talking to you pastor's wives. Do not take trash off of anyone.
Brian Green
Okay? We got it. We're not gonna take trash off of anybody. We're gonna keep our own trash.
Stephen Maxwell
It is not scripture. We do not rebuke an elder, but we entreat him as a father and the younger his brethren, and the older women as mothers and the younger as sisters. That's Apostle Paul. That is scripture.
Brian Green
Go. Hot diggity dog. Hallelujah.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, he's rolling up his sleeves.
Brian Green
Yeah, he's rolling up his sleeve. He's ready to get into it. Now there's some drama going on at the local church, and I really want to know what it is.
Stephen Maxwell
We're coming up against the elder of the church, and there's only one. And not a bunch of gas bags that get.
Brian Green
Okay.
Stephen Maxwell
Oh, there's only one elder of the church. So when people say that we need to respect our elders, there's only one in the church. Okay? All these older Folks that. That are full of hot air, I like to say gas bags.
Brian Green
They need to keep the fat mouth shut.
Stephen Maxwell
If the pastor of the church is not saying something, then everybody else needs to shut up. It is not appointed. It is not appointed to any other individual to rebuke anybody but the pastor.
Brian Green
Why do I have a sense, the feeling that Stephen is the one who's been rebuked?
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, that's exactly why he is. Is doing this video.
Brian Green
And he's been rebuked by other people besides the pastor in the community. Why do I have the feeling gas bags, put them right in the throat.
Chris Hoadley
There's only one elder.
Brian Green
There's only one elder.
Stephen Maxwell
If you have visiting preachers that come in and start rebuking yourself saints, you need to put that preacher in their place.
Brian Green
Oh, now it's coming much more clear. Stephen has been rebuked by a visiting preacher. I rebuke you and tell them exactly.
Stephen Maxwell
What you think of them. Friends are not. You need. You need to put. You need to put them visiting preachers in their places. You need to do your job, pastor. You need to do your job.
Brian Green
Okay.
Chris Hoadley
I think he's saying this to the pastor in his church where he was rebuked.
Brian Green
Yes, yes. Gathering that Stephen has not been defended. I'm gathering that Stephen was either married or happened to have some woman fell into a relationship with Stephen for some strange reason and he walked out on her. More like she walked out on him. And then there was some chatter. Like he said, there was some chatter. Within 24 hours, some people were talking in the church. And then he got rebuked for whatever he did in that relationship, not by the pastor, but by other people in there. And now this is his. This is his slap back video. This is clap back video. Chriss. This is like con. This is like Drake and you know, what's that guy's name? This is like. This is like Drake's clapback video right here. Chrissy, not the church members.
Stephen Maxwell
You.
Brian Green
I'm surprised TMZ hasn't covered this, quite frankly.
Stephen Maxwell
Evangelists, you need to throw the rule book out and stop. Try trying to do the rules for the pastor of the church. The pastor of the church has already laid down the guidelines. You do not need to enforce them. Evangelists. And I'm talking to evangelists.
Chris Hoadley
Okay, Evangelist.
Brian Green
Did you notice when he said the s. His tongue went right in between all his four missing teeth. It was like.
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, yeah.
Stephen Maxwell
You do not need to be carrying around the law book. What you need to be carrying around is your Gavel as a judge. And your Bible.
Brian Green
What.
Chris Hoadley
How do you find these people? People?
Brian Green
Well, Chrissy, first of all, my algorithm is on fleek. Second of all, my. My googling skills are excellent. My searching skills are excellent. I find a lot of these and, you know, they're not all worthy, but if I just imagine that there's a church somewhere out there in the world where Stephen lives. There's a church somewhere out there, obviously where all of this is happening, all of this drama, this entire soap opera is going on, all under the guide that they believe in Jesus Christ as the person that they follow. Yet there's a guy running around with a Bible and a gavel, and he's like the elder of the church. And there are visiting, punching people out. Punching people out. They're rebuking things. People are leaving people because there weren't a gorilla on the fan. I mean, and all this. And poor Pepper is born into it. Without poor Pepper gets shit on because she has to be stuck on Steven's outside sofa. Oh, man, I love it. I think this is great. It gives us a view into a world that we do not know. I may seem like a city slicker sitting here talking about, you know, this little world that Stephen lives in, but it really does help us understand a good portion of this country.
Stephen Maxwell
A book needs to be thrown out until you become a pastor. Now, I'm not just getting on to women. I'm getting on to every last one of you.
Brian Green
Is that the fourth or the fifth person that has watched this video over the last four years?
Chris Hoadley
He really got. He really got his message out.
Brian Green
Yeah. I gotta be honest. I'm not sure Clapback video is really clapped at all, but that's okay.
Stephen Maxwell
Okay?
Brian Green
No, not okay.
Stephen Maxwell
Not now.
Brian Green
We're gonna get back to the women or what's going on?
Stephen Maxwell
Stephen, the clothesline situation. You wear exactly what you want. I'm not your daddy. If you cannot follow Jesus Christ in. In your. In your clothing, then evidently you ain't his child.
Brian Green
Whoa. What?
Chris Hoadley
Yeah.
Brian Green
I love this. I love this. Now there's a clothesline and involved. Is it scandal? Is there like, scandal in the community? Did someone put out there? I don't know. They're unmentionables. Out in the clothesline. There are things in pasties. I'm not sure, Chrissy, but I wish I knew. Where is Stephen when we need him?
Chris Hoadley
I don't know. We need to look this up.
Brian Green
Christina, find Stephen, get him on the show.
Stephen Maxwell
Evidently, you're not his child. All right. And the Hair styles and the hair long all the way down to the floor or up or down or side to side, men or women. Okay. If you can't follow after the pattern of Jesus Christ and by the way Jesus.
Brian Green
By the way Jesus Christ had hair down to the floor.
Stephen Maxwell
Dude, Christ did not wear long hair and a beat. Isaiah tells us that. Isaiah tells us that he shaved and Isaiah tells us that he cut his hair.
Brian Green
And, and I do know Isaiah to be a truthful guy. Chrissy, anytime I talk to Isaiah, he's. He's always right on the button.
Stephen Maxwell
You understand?
Brian Green
I do.
Stephen Maxwell
So before we get into that, I'm gonna tell you I'm not your daddy, but I will let you know. If you're not going to follow after the pattern of the word of God, stay out.
Brian Green
The church say, but you just told us that no one else should rebuke anybody except for the pastor. But yet you're going to tell people what they should wear and how their clothing should be church.
Stephen Maxwell
Stop being a hypocrite. Stop it. And you, you women that like to sit in the back and blabber, blabber, blather. That's exactly, that's exactly who else the apostle Paul is talking.
Brian Green
Yeah, Chrissy, stop sitting in the back and blabber, blabber, blabber. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Gas bag.
Stephen Maxwell
We don't need play by play of what everybody is doing in the church. And we don't need play by play of how you like to make fun of people in the church.
Brian Green
Is that why you're on YouTube giving a play by play of everything that's happening in the church?
Stephen Maxwell
You understand? If you have something to say, you say it to the pastor and the pastor will take care of it. And if the pastor don't deem it necessary, but that you're a blabbermouth and that you're being nothing but an old hand in a chicken coop. Then, then evidently it's just troublemaking. And has he.
Brian Green
I have never heard so many. What do you call them? I don't know what you call them, but I've never heard so many isms in my entire life. Sayings in my entire life. Like clear old saying, I think you could sit at a cracker barrel and not hear this many for days and not hear this many old sayings.
Chris Hoadley
That's right, Brian, get off your hind end.
Brian Green
Oh, the old head, the old gas bag. Man.
Chris Hoadley
Stephen had some drama. Go.
Brian Green
Oh my God is. Please tell us that Stephen has a halt.
Chris Hoadley
I mean, what's the rest of his.
Brian Green
Channel like God, Chrissy, let's see.
Chris Hoadley
Or was this just it? This was his message to get out and respond.
Brian Green
Oh, no.
Chris Hoadley
That happened.
Brian Green
Oh, no. There are many videos here by him. Yes, we talk about the United. The President of the United States.
Chris Hoadley
Bet he does.
Brian Green
Oh, he's running for President of the United States.
Chris Hoadley
No.
Brian Green
Say what? Is Stephen really running for President of the United States? Is that true? He is running for the President of the United States. Steven Maxwell for president, everybody. If I haven't convinced you, write him in today. It's election day. Write Steven Maxwell in. Oh, my gosh, I love Stephen.
Chris Hoadley
I mean, he's got some things to say.
Brian Green
He does have some things to say, and it's all to the people at his church. Unfortunately, none of them watched this video.
Chris Hoadley
Nobody's listening.
Brian Green
Yeah, nobody heard it. But I feel like. Well, you know, listen, everybody gets their feelings hurt every once in a while. We all have those dreams that after we get wronged or we feel bad or we get in a fight with somebody, we all have those dreams that we could just say what we wanted to say unchecked to them and they would all agree with us. This is just Stephen's way of getting it out through Jesus Christ himself, through the scripture, through the Lord, of course. All right, well, yeah, go vote. Vote. Go vote. Go, go vote. Vote your conscience. I wrote on Facebook I voted today on behalf of my daughters and their future daughters, if and when they choose to have them. And that's all I gotta say.
