A
New Year's resolution.
B
Drink less.
A
Oh, and quit smoking. Oh, and keep New Year's resolutions.
B
On this episode of the commercial break. And Chipper came, and there was. We were all sitting in a booth, and Chipper slid in, and, man, was he miffed hot. He was hot. He came in hot. But at that time, nothing else, nothing was going on. So the first thing that this young lady does is head to the bathroom so that me and Chipper are there alone. And I'm like, so, hey, Chip, what's going on? And he's like. He's like, you tell me, bro. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. You're probably smoking crack cocaine. Aw, yeah. Cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene. This is my hungover friend, Chrissy. Best to you, Chrissy.
A
Best to you, Brian, and best to.
B
You out there in the podcast universe. I'm easing you in this time. Easing you in so that when you wake up from your hangover, you don't feel terrible.
A
I'm still drinking from the night before.
B
I know. Look at you, you little drunky skunky. Chrissy's our little drunky skunky. Listen, every podcast needs one.
A
That's right.
B
Brianna has Grace. I have Chrissy, have you been keeping up with this whole thing about Brianna? Chicken Fry and Grace o' Malley aren't.
A
The only one keeping up with that.
B
I am not the only one keeping up with. Okay, Christina's a little bit tuned into this. All right, so here it is. You ready? Okay. And what? Happy New Year's, everybody. Happy New Year. Hope you're enjoying your day. Watching lots of football. That's a great thing to do.
A
Drinking mimosas.
B
Drinking mimosas, having a brunch, ringing in the new year with friends, family, or yourself, which is what I did a lot of years in a row, now that I think about it. It's kind of sad. I wish I had joined Chrissy at Widespread Panic. I like coconuts. You can't break them open, and they smell like ladies lying in the sun. All right. Of football on today. Lots of stuff to be discussed. We're here at the commercial break. We're going to take it easy on you. We're here in our pajamas just like you are, and we're going to enjoy.
A
We should do every show in our pajamas now.
B
Well, we usually do do every episode in our pajamas until we got the cameras in here. Now I got to wear a shirt every day. I got to wear clothes. According to Astrid, half the time I was like a newscaster with like pajama bottoms on and a shirt, pants. I know. Now we have to wear actual clothing to the show. It kind of. Kind of sucks. But anyway, it's a small price to pay to have every episode Moving forward on YouTube.com/the commercial break available right now. This episode, you can watch us in our pajamas. All right, so listen, let me give you the lowdown. Drama drop on Brianna and Grace. Brianna Chicken Fry had that big fallout with Zach Brian. She accused him of controlling behavior, breaking up with her online, generally being verbally abusive. And then he pulled some real douchebag moves. But in this big argument that they had. Brianna Chicken Fry is a content creator and podcaster that works for Barstool Sports owned by Dave Portnoy. Dave Portnoy supported Brianna during this whole thing, said that Zach was an asshole, had her come on his podcast and talk all about it. And it really was some weird behavior on behalf of Zach. He's kind of a douche knit. He's kind of a douche. News on why anybody wants. Now he's in concerts and people are throwing stuff at him on stage, which I think is great. Cans, bottles, beers, tomatoes, phones. This is a new thing people are doing, throwing their phones on stage, hoping that the artist will take a photograph.
A
Oh, really?
B
Yes, because. And I think this all started, if I'm being honest, with Chris Martin from fucking Coldplay. It's goddamn Coldplay's fault. Everything's Coldplay's fault. Listen, the whole world is all goes. Oh, seven degrees of Coldplay. Chris Martin. One time, I think this was Chris Martin, he took somebody's phone that they had thrown on stage recording. They were like making a video. And he went around the stage and did this whole number with the phone and then gave it back to somebody. So now people are literally throwing their phones at artists to try and get them to take a selfie. You are willing to lose your thousand dollar iPhone to get Billie Eilish to take a photograph. That's ridiculous. You're right there. Take a photograph yourself.
A
Insurance.
B
That's true insurance. Yeah. Apple does make it pretty easy. Apple does make it pretty easy to get that phone back.
A
Yeah.
B
And now everything's in the iPhone.
A
Later, Newest one.
B
Yes. So if they. If she takes the phone and decides to put it in her pocket and not give it back to you, now you've got. Now you can track her to which hotel she goes to. It's all a big ploy. But the behavior at these concerts is out fucking outrageous. Go see your favorite artist. Shut up. Sit down. Here's an idea. Put your fucking phone away. Enjoy the moment. That's when Chris Rock. When I went to go see Chris Rock, he made us all put our phone back. Yeah, Jack White's the same way. And that is the right thing to do. And I've recently seen that comedians are walking off stage when people start recording their sets on video. And you've seen a video? Yes, of. I saw a video someone walking off stage because they were being videoed. But the video was coming from the club. Yes. And the actual artist put it up there. And it was someone we had on the show. I don't want to misspeak. So I want to say it was Gian Marco, but I'm not 100% sure. Okay, so Brianna drama with Zach Bryan. Big deal. She has a podcast with her friend Chrissy. You look so drunk. You really do look very intoxicated.
A
My hair's just shoveled. I've got my disco ball.
B
You are doing the perfect impression of.
A
Chrissy drunk, drinking out of the champagne bottle.
B
Someone get her a bag of bread. Where's a bag of bread? That's all we need. And then it'll be, I do need some bread.
A
To some.
B
You can have some. You can go in my refrigerator and get it later. All right. Brianna Grace have a podcast together. Best friends. They're BFFs. They love each other. The podcast does pretty good. It's on the Barstool Network. But all of a sudden, Grace o', Malley, who's become very popular on the Internet, decides to walk off the Chicken Fry and Grace o' Malley show. She just leaves. She no explanation. She's just not there. One day. Okay, so everyone's trying to get to the bottom of it. Grace o' Malley goes through a few stand up routines and she drops some hints as to why she has left. And Brianna Chicken Fry comes out and says she was not supportive of me during this whole Zach Bryan thing. So it's best that we just part ways. Dave Portnoy then gets involved because he can't keep his mouth shut because that's how he makes his money. He just talks about drama all day. Right? So back right before Christmas, Grace o' Malley leaves Bar Barstool Sports. She quits. Or she leaves and everyone says Dave Portnoy must have fired her because of the drama between her and Chicken Fry. But no, she says, no, he did not fire me. I quit. And Dave Portnoy says, Grace OMalley's great with me. I didn't fire her. She chose to go a different direction. I wish her nothing but the best. Then Call Her Daddy announces. The lady who does Call Her Daddy announces, I am bringing Grace o' Malley onto my network to do her own podcast. So now Grace o' Malley has gone from second fiddle to chicken fry during this whole Zach Bryan drama. You know, kind of the playing the back, you know, the passenger. Here's what I want to say, Chrissy. Don't go to Call her Daddy. That's all I gotta say. Don't go to call her Daddy.
A
I won't leave you. We're in it now.
B
The passenger in this shit show called Brown a Chicken Fry, all of a sudden is the hottest commodity in podcasting. And Call Her Daddy has picked her up, and now she's got her own show. I think it's gonna be called Unwell. I'm rooting for. I'm rooting for Grace o' Malley on this one.
C
Unwell's the network.
B
Oh, Unwell's the network. What's the name of the podcast? I thought it was the name of the podcast.
C
I don't know, but I know Unwell is the Call Her Daddy network.
B
Okay, I'm sorry. I misspoke. Unwell is the network. She's gonna have a new podcast on the network. That's right. You know, just. Even. Just. That would have gone unnoticed by.
A
Because I don't know.
B
Yeah. You think I have time to.
A
Yes. Kris Kristofferson died.
B
Yes. Yes. Brad Williams penis is 10 inches long. Yeah. You think I have time to keep up with everybody else's podcast network? I can't even keep up with my own. I mean, for God's sakes, when you're in here 17 days a week, you don't have time to talk about.
A
I'm surprised we're not at Unwell. That would be a perfect.
C
I'm surprised you don't have a job alert set up.
B
I know. Seriously, I should. I should.
A
You should do that.
B
Oh, hey, listen, Alex Cooper. Who's her name? Who runs. Call her any. You want to have a conversation, go through Odyssey, because we really do like Odyssey.
A
We love Odyssey.
B
But, I mean, if Alex Cooper called, I wouldn't. I wouldn't hang up on her.
A
Well, just seems like a good name for us.
B
Yes.
A
To be associated.
B
Well, we keep on saying it. So many people out there, and most of them are Unwell. Yeah. So now Brianna Chicken Fry finds herself playing second fiddle to Grace o', Malley, and I'm not. Not rooting for Brianna, she was an abusive relationship. That sucks. Zach Bryant is really the shithead in this whole situation. But I'm just so fascinated by all this little drama going on in the podcast network. And now, like, Travis Kelsey's cousin is doing a podcast. That's number one. I mean, for God's sakes, it's all getting out of control. Everyone has a podcast. Yes, some. I was talking to someone the other day and they, and they know we have a podcast and they've been listening to it and they said, wow, everybody has a fucking podcast. And I go, everybody has a fucking podcast because there's zero barrier to entry, right? You get a microphone, you repress record, and then you publish it on all of these major players. And if you're lucky, someone will listen to it, right? If you're lucky, someone will listen to it. Or if you pay Dr. Smart. Listen, Dr. Phil. A lot of money. A lot of money to talk about. Oh, Joe. Good old Brianna and Chicken Fry man. I mean, good old Brianna and Grace o'. Brien.
A
I still don't know what the. The drama is between them.
B
She didn't, according to Brianna. Here's. If I'm going to take a guess, here's what it is.
A
All I know is she left.
B
Yeah. Brianna Chicken Fry. I don't know how to say this without being a total jerk off. How do I say this? Brianna Chicken Fry. Lovely lady. Lovely young lady, right? And she gets a lot of attention for being a lovely young lady with Dave Portnoy and all this other stuff. And she seems like a very lovely person also, as a human being, Grace o' Malley's doing a podcast with her, and the two of them are supposed to be riding this rocket to success. And then Brianna gets all of this attention because of her interaction with. With Zach Brian, but Grace is left by the side. So now you've got this. These two podcasters who really want to take on the world together. But Brianna starts to kind of. Her star starts to rise a little bit in this world. And maybe Grace wasn't so cool with all of the, you know, drama that was going on with the Zach Bryan thing. Maybe she thought that, you know, hey, while you're getting all this attention, maybe you should talk about our fucking podcast or bring that traffic to our podcast. Now, I don't know that, but sometimes there are. There's this little interplay that goes on between people and it's like it can really turn into just kind of a fuck you situation. They're best friends.
A
That's why I let you just ride the wave.
B
That's why I like Chrissy. She has zero interest in being successful. I get to sit here and take all the flack, all the slack, and all the acclaim, whatever that means. Whenever that comes, whenever the acclaim comes, Chrissy's going to be fine with it. Whenever my Zach Bryan moment comes, I want to fuck Zach Bryan just so I can get some attention from Dave Portnoy. Also, when is that gonna happen? I wish. Grace o'. Malley. Nothing but the best. This sounds great. I love it. She's got her own podcast.
A
Great for Grace.
B
Just another podcast to dilute our listenership. Just another podcast to steal more listeners from us. And since our audience is currently all female, I'm sure they're gonna run right over there. That's an amazing turn of events, by the way.
A
Is it? So do you think, though, just thinking back to 2020, when literally everybody had a PODC podcast, do you think it's more now or more then?
B
I think it is a quicker. I think people are realizing they can cut out the TV networks, Netflix, Amazon. They can cut all these people out. I was just read an article about the Chicken Shack show, about how. Chicken Shack. Chicken Shack. Chicken. Chicken Shack Game. Chicken Shop.
C
Chicken Shop.
B
Too Many Chickens. We're talking about today. Chicken Fried Chicken Shack. Chicken.
A
Is that like Shake Shack?
B
No, it's that Date Show. I know, Okay. I read an article about this, and the guy who was writing the article said it's amazing that she has usurped any television network, anything like this might normally go on, like, you know, MTV or maybe even Netflix or whatever. She has usurped all of them, has started her own production company and has a fabulously successful show and just as much reach, if not more, because she's doing it all on her own. And she's got her own distribution through YouTube and all these other platforms. Right. It does happen media. So I think everyone who otherwise would go the normal Hollywood mainstream route has figured out that you don't need Hollywood. Fuck Hollywood. You don't need the agents and the production, you know, the producers and the productionists. You don't need all that.
A
You might need an agent. Thank you, Matt. We love you.
B
Well, Mads is a great agent, but he's not really, like. He's not agent. He's an agent, but he's not agent D. You know, he doesn't like a slick, slimy kind of guy. He's a nice guy and I like that about him. And he gets us good deals and I like that about him. Too. And he saved our asses a couple times. And I like that about him, too. But I think that all of these people who would normally kind of be funneled into this, like, Hollywood, you know.
A
Mill, it's been shaken up.
B
It's been shaken up. So now the first thing that you do is you go get a podcast so you can tell your side of the story, make people believe that you're interesting and get it.
A
Tell people wrong facts.
B
Tell people wrong facts. Listen, this is why podcasters should not be at the White House. That's my opinion exactly. Speaking of podcasts, it is really strange that the hawktua girl, ever since that hawk coin went in the shitter.
A
Yeah.
B
The hawk to a girl is nowhere to be found. She has not produced an episode of her fabulously popular podcast. She has not gone. She has not made any social media posts. She has just disappeared. Yeah, well, probably a lawyer told her to do that.
A
Yeah, exactly.
B
Yes, a lawyer probably said, hey, the.
A
SEC might be investigating.
B
They might be investigating you. Yeah, well, I mean, it is a pretty obvious. It's a pretty obvious scam. And despite what everyone involved in it says, it's an obvious scam. So the hog to a girl, no more. All right, so let's do this. Let us take a short break. And we come back. We're going to continue to celebrate New Year's with you. We're going to make some college football predictions. We're going to try and keep one or two men around the listenership around here.
A
I need a fresh drink.
B
Get a. You're drinking out of the bottle.
A
It's almost gone.
B
Oh, okay. Here, you got a one right there. All right. We're getting saucy on a New Year's Day here on the commercial break. We'll be back.
C
Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath. And now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right. It's 212-4333, TCB. And you can text us anytime you want or you can call and leave us a voicemail and we might just use your message on the show once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok CB podcast. And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on tcbpodcast.com now I'm gonna thank G one more time that we have sponsors. So thank G. And here they are.
B
We don't need no Hollywood production staff around here. We got our own smoke machines. Fuck you. Fuck all the agents in the smoke machines. We got it covered. Fuck it. We'll do it live. All right. Happy New Year. We're back. Let's make some college football playoff predictions. What do you think?
A
Tennessee all the way.
B
Okay. All right, settle down. I don't think so, but maybe. You never know. It's been a wild year. All right. Okay. All right. So the first game is going to be before, after we're recording this. So we won't be able to make those. That prediction. That's going to be Notre Dame at Indiana, number seven and number ten. Let's assume that Notre Dame is going to win that one, though. Indiana, I think, is a pretty good team this year. Let's assume Notre Dame is going to do that one. On the. On yesterday, New Year's Eve, we would have had you make these predictions and then we'll see if they come true. SMU at Penn State. Number 11 against number 6. Who are you going to go with? I'm going to write these down. We'll see what happens.
A
Penn State.
B
Okay. Chrissy says Penn State. Do you have any interest in college football?
A
Yeah, of course.
B
Do you?
A
No, No, I didn't.
C
You know, I just wrote in the show notes, football, parentheses, barf.
B
And we wonder why 90% of our audience is female.
C
Sorry.
A
I went to an SEC school. Yes. I have a big interest in college.
C
I went to a school without a football team. Yeah.
B
So there you go.
A
I wasn't into it before. I went to school there and then.
C
Yeah.
B
I stepped foot on a campus with a football team once.
A
You. You dated a girl?
B
I dated a girl school once. Right. I wrote on my resume one time I went to a school, a football team. I didn't get that job, though. Didn't get that job. Background checks. All right. Number 12, Clemson against number 5, Texas.
A
I mean, Texas is good.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
But I want Clemson to win.
B
Okay, so you're going to say Clemson. Oh, I'm. Are you going to say Clemson? I don't know. I'm also going to say Penn State. Okay. And I'm going to say Texas.
A
I think Texas. I have to say Texas, but I want Clemson to win.
B
Okay. I think that Texas. I think they're hurt, but hurt a little bit about the Georgia to Georgia losses in a year. So I think they're going to come back rowdy and ready to go. All right. Another game being played on New Year's Eve is the Boise State. Penn State game.
A
I thought we just said Penn State.
B
Oh, I'm sorry. Boise State against the. Well, it's going to be Penn State because they won. This is like the next bracket.
A
All right. Oh, oh, oh, we're doing brackets.
B
Yeah, it's a bracket now. That's how they do it. That's how they're doing it now. That's how they're doing it now. This concludes the football portion of the commercial break.
C
We wonder why.
B
And we wonder why.
A
Wait, hold on. I thought we were just going to pick the winners of these games.
B
We are, but.
A
No, but who did Boise play to get to to this level?
B
Boise State got a buy because. Because they're ranked number three. Yes. So they're number three. Penn State will be number six. You predicted Penn State will win, so those will be the two that play. I also predicted Penn State would win. So it's number three against number six.
A
I'm going Penn State.
B
You're going Penn State. Okay, Penn State makes it to the next one.
A
Connection to Penn.
B
Oh, you do?
A
Or Pennsylvania.
B
What's your connection? To what? What's your connection. What's your connection to Penn?
A
Kelly's husband's family is from Pennsylvania.
B
All right, gotcha.
A
So I'm just gonna go that way.
B
Okay. I'm gonna go Boise State because I think. I think they're really good. And how. Why do I think that? Because they have a three in front of their.
A
Exactly.
B
Because they have a three and the other one has a six in front of it.
A
Exactly how.
B
Three is better.
A
Basketball.
B
And that's why. March Madness. That's why I lose $50 every March. Because I go, oh, well, they're number four. They're number 12. They must win. Yeah. Having no knowledge of any of it. All right, and today, as we sit here, as you're listening to this show, here's the games that are being played. Number four against Arizona State and the Texas Clemson winner. So we said Texas was going to win, so Arizona State number four against Texas, number five. Who's winning that game?
A
Texas.
B
Texas. Okay, you're going to go Texas.
A
I'm going to go to Texas, too.
B
I'm going to go Texas also. So so far, we're here. We're. We're almost together, except for the Penn State one. All right, number one. Oregon versus Ohio State or Tennessee State?
A
Tennessee.
B
I mean Tennessee. I'm sorry.
A
Oh, well, I mean, I got to say Tennessee.
B
Okay, you're going to say Tennessee. I'm going to say Ohio State. Love you, but I Don't think that Tennessee is going to beat Ohio. Why do I not think that? Because the numbers are different. Yeah, that's right. Because their colors, they're better.
C
My physical therapist was a really big Ohio State, so this one's for you, Mark.
A
There's a lot of people from Ohio in Atlanta.
C
There are a surprising amount.
A
Yes.
B
All right. And then the final game on today, January 1st, is going to be Georgia versus the Notre Dame. Indiana winner. We picked Notre Dame, so I have to say Georgia.
A
I'm going Georgia as well.
B
And they are looking connection to Georgia.
C
Me, too.
B
Yeah.
A
My stepdaughter goes there.
B
Okay, so we got Gawaja and you got Georgia. Georgia. So really, it's going to be. Oh, wait, it's going to be for you. Penn State versus Texas. Tennessee versus Georgia. That will be very interesting. For me. It will be Boise State, Texas, Ohio, Georgia. That is also an interesting matchup. So my prediction is that the Bulldogs win this all because I think. Let me tell you this, because I've been watching all the games this season or some of all the games this season, and Georgia has had two incredible games where they went like multiple overtime. Did they go nine overtimes, Seven overtimes in one of those games. It was crazy. Went on till midnight. It was a nuts. They just kept on moving back up and down the field.
A
Yeah, it was against. It was against Ole Miss. And Ole Miss beat Georgia.
B
I know that was a big deal.
A
For Ole Miss fans.
B
No, that was not the overtime one because Georgia won the seven overtime one. That was against. I can't remember who was against. Anyway, we don't know anything about football, so fuck us. So here's my prediction. If I had to say, as a very educated, college sportsman guy, I would say that Georgia's gonna win because they looked not so great at the beginning. Carson Beck, this. This guy who throws the ball guy. He. That guy who throws the ball guy.
A
He drives a Lamborghini.
B
He drives a Lamborghini. And that's all I need to know about him. He's my kind of guy.
A
It goes fast.
B
Because nothing says humble sports guy like Lamborghini at 18 years old.
C
Yeah. I mean, honestly, he should try a 2003 Accord. He should try it.
B
I have TR. I have tried it. That's what I own.
C
But Carson Beck should try it.
B
Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying.
A
Yeah. Rev him down a notch.
B
Yes. That five years ago, he probably would have been driving a 2003 Accord and they just would have been putting money in his mom's account. But now they can actually pay him directly. So they give him a Lamborghini. How did he get a fucking Lamborghini anyway? Lamborghini went straight to his head.
A
I think it's Lamborghini, not Lamborghini.
B
But did I say Lamborghini? Lamborghini, Lamborghini. It's a new breed. It's a Labrador.
A
Welcome to the akc.
B
Yeah, it's like. It's like a Labradoodle, only with a tailpipe. They're all the rage in the Hamptons, the Lamborghini. It's a mix between a Labrador retriever and a porcini mushroom. It's a Lamborghini. It keeps you bright, brain strong, while not pissing on your carpet. Protects the doors. They're lovely. They don't walk so good and they bark a little.
A
Weird problems.
B
Yeah. They got hip problems because all those dogs have hip problems, because every one of those breeds has a hip problem. I saw the other day an Instagram reel, literally, in a puppy mill, like, in a convention center where they were showing off new breeds of dog. And this guy, this guy was so excited. He's like, this is a. You know, it's a mix between a Labradoodle and a poop. A doodle and a superdoodle. It's a fluff, a doodle. And he's like, this is all the rage in Japan. It's this little tiny thing with these big eyeballs. And it was like it couldn't keep its head up. It was a Pokemon. It couldn't keep its head up. It kept falling to the side. And I was like, that poor thing. It's missing chromosomes. You can't breed them like that.
A
I know.
B
They're not supposed to be bred like that. Dogs are meant to be inbred. Just keep breeding them the same. That's how it goes. That's why mutts are so smart. When they try to make those designer dogs, they end up being like, blue. Yes. Blue's not even a fucking Yorkie. I gotta be honest with you. We bought a Yorkie, but that's not a Yorkie.
A
You don't have.
B
Papers are small. I have no papers. Papers. I bought it in a double wide. Conyers, Georgia. I mean, honestly, Conyers again? Yes. It's always Conyers. Fucking Conyers.
A
Oh, my God. Conyers is where we rode the Ferris wheel.
B
We rode the Ferris wheel at the.
A
Conyers, and everybody thought we were together.
B
Yes. We also went to the world's biggest hodey. Dodie down or whatever it was. The Hokey Pokey Bar, whatever the fuck it was.
A
Oh, my God, that place.
B
That place was terrible.
A
That's where, like, Chipper Jones showed up drunk and was mad at me because.
B
I was screwing his girlfriend and he was married.
A
What?
B
Yes. Okay.
C
Dive in, please.
B
Okay. All right. I gotta tell this story. Chipper, I love you. You probably don't even remember this because God bless you, child, but Chipper Jones is a very famous bas. Baseball player in the 90s and 2000s for the Braves. He's like, he will go down in history as one of the best Braves players ever. He was truly a franchise man. He played the Braves almost his entire career. But Chipper had a way with the ladies. And this was no secret.
A
He was a good looking guy.
B
He was a handsome dude, third baseman. He could sit there and, you know, all summer long and just talk to the girls on the side because he was on. He was playing third base. And Chipper had a couple of kids out of wedlock. He ended up dating a Hooters girl. That Hooters girl got pregnant. And, you know, he had his problems being faithful. And I don't think this was any secret to anybody who knew Chipper or even didn't know Chipper.
A
Like a lot of.
B
Yeah, like a lot of sports. Sports man's people. The sports man's people. Ben Carson. The football thrower guy. The football thrower guy. So Gibbert took a liking to some of the cheerleaders for the Braves. They were called the Braves. The Brave. Bravers or something. The Brave girls or whatever. Well, Brian also took a liking to the Braver girls. He too. Yes.
A
You did? Well, we were down at that Brave stadium a lot.
B
A lot. And there was a young lady who was there who we kind of kindled a little flame for the summer.
A
It was a Yule log.
B
Yes, it was a Yule log. It was more like a. I don't.
A
Know, a Yule stick.
B
It was more like a boy scout trying to start a fire for the first time, fumbling around with his stick, his twigs and berries, you know what I'm saying? But anyway, she was lovely, but I knew pretty early on because she told me that she was also involved with Chipper Jones. And I thought to myself, well, you know, whatever, let me dive in. If it's good enough for Chipper, it's good enough for me.
A
I should do this.
B
I should do this. This sounds like a great idea. Yeah, why not? I mean, Chipper's married. I'm not you know, let her have her cake and eat it, too. What do I care? So. But here's the thing. So it got hot and heavy for a few weeks, but then I just decided it was best just to be friends, because I didn't want. I really didn't want to, like, be on the bad side of a professional baseball player who didn't. Whose personal life seemed to be a little bit of a disaster. And he would oftentimes look at us sitting in his seats at the Brave Stadium, not lovingly. That's just the eye that I got. So. So when Chipper came to this bar.
A
It was this huge bar.
B
Huge, huge. Honky tonk.
A
Honky tonk, yeah. Huge bar, multiple bars, the wooden dance floor, people out dancing, everything. Yeah. People playing. What was that? The flip cup.
C
Darts.
B
Oh, flip cup. Yeah, flip cup. When that was popular thing to do back in the 70s when that was a thing back in the disco years, we used to twirl and touch. But then came Country Western, and my arm got sore. So he came, and this young lady was there at our invite. It was like all the 94, nine, the bowl, all the Braves people. Everybody was there. I invited her, she came. Chrissy and I took an uber. It took seven days to get there, and $7,000 from where we lived in downtown Atlanta.
A
I was working it.
B
Yes. And Chipper came, and we were all sitting in a booth, and Chipper slid in, and, man, was he miffed. He was hot. He came in hot. But at that time, nothing else, nothing was going on. So the first thing that this young lady does is head to the bathroom so that me and Chipper are there alone. And I'm like, so, hey, Chip, what's going on? And he's like. He's like, you tell me, bro. And I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about.
A
You tell me, bro.
B
And he was like, yeah, I bet, bro. He was like.
A
He'd had a few. He'd had a few.
B
He'd had a few. And he was like, yeah, I bet, bro. And I was like, listen, Chipper. Nothing. Whatever. It's done. We're over. We're over. You can. Yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm done having an affair with her now. You can continue. Okay. We're Sharon, we're buddies. We're vulva buddies. All right? I don't know what to tell you. What do you want me to do? And he was hot. And, you know, so it. We. There was uncomfortableness for, like, five minutes as she went to the bathroom. I just kind of muddled my way through a conversation. And then when she came back, I left, but this wasn't the last time.
A
And found me immediately. What just happened?
B
I know, I was like, okay, Chrissy, let's go. Time to go. And then we took another seven thousand dollar cab ride where we were like, can you put five dollars on this card and six dollars on this card and I have twenty dollars in cash. And then. Do you take Diners? Do you take Diners Club? Do you have. Do you take Groupon? Remember when that was a thing?
A
Oh my God, I bought so many Groupons. Oh my God, I bought so many.
B
I think they forced us to buy Groupons at Clear Channel.
A
I think we started our own Groupon.
B
We did like the clear day. Clear half days or something. Clear days for what?
C
What were you offering?
B
Oh, the sponsors would come to us and then every day it was a new.
A
Yeah, it was a massage place or a nail place or whatever.
B
It was a lot of massage and nail places. Let's be honest about it. They didn't have enough money to advertise. So they would give a deal out and then they would get talked about on air. It was like a way to bring them in the door.
C
I just can't believe you're Eskimo brothers with Chipper Jones.
B
Yeah, yeah. Well, listen, there's a lot of things in my life that if you would ask me what I regretted in 2013 or seven or whatever it was, I would have been like dating Chipper Jones girlfriend. But we remained friends for me and this young lady remained friends for a long time. Yeah. And so because I, I like. He would talk to her when, you know, while he was like playing. He would talk to her on the field and he would come over and talk to her on this other thing. And so I learned I knew which seats were chippers, like the ones that he could give away for his family, that his family was suspiciously never there. It always her or some of her friends or whatever. And so I always stayed out of those seats from moving forward. I was like, I don't want enough.
A
In the bar with me.
B
What's that?
A
And up in the bar with me?
B
Yeah, and up in the bar with you. And then I had this pass where I could walk down in the locker room. Right. I could walk down where the players went. I could park over there. I could go inside the locker. I could go in the. They don't. I'm sure they do not do this anymore. But back then it was a Little more loosey goosey. I could walk in past the police officer down under the stadium, and I could walk straight into the stadium where the players walked into the stadium. And I just remember one time, weeks after this whole happened, all this happened. And I'm walking past the part where all the, you know, the clubhouse where the players are like the locker rooms, and Shepard Jones is standing there, and I was like, hey, bro. And his response was, yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
I tried to keep it cool. You did. I was like, hey, man, I don't want to fight you. You're 12 times the size of me. Now, Chipper owns a bar.
A
I think that's right.
B
And I think he's been married for a while. I think he's been happily married for a while. I think he's been through a couple divorces. But, you know, I'm. I. You know, anyway, whatever. Here I am spilling the tea on Chipper Jones 20 years later. It's not. It's not chicken. It's not Brianna chicken fry, but it's some kind of drama. Okay, there you go. You got the Chipper Jones story out of me. I shared a Volvo with Chipper Joe. All right, okay, let's take a. Let's take a break. Please get me out of this story. Yeah, I probably just caused a legal action divorce. Yeah, there's legal action happening. All right, we'll be back.

B
Bye.
A
I just realized that I still had the countdown going from New Year's for.
B
A day and a half. Yeah, yeah. Chipper was married three times. He was married once from 92 to 99. I won't mention their names because maybe they don't want the attention, but maybe they don't want people that. That they were cheated on. And then his. The wife that he would have been married to when I was around was from 2000 to 2012. So that didn't last very much longer after I left. And then he's been happily married since 2:15 and he's got a number of children here and there and everywhere. Here and there and everywhere.
A
And that's the story.
B
Yeah, that's the story, man. I, I just, I forgot, totally forgot about that period of my life until you, you, you told me that was a summer. Yeah. And that was a summer easy to forget. Yes. Because there is so much drinking going on. So much drinking going on.
A
I mean, those were the good old days.
B
Yes. So let me tell you a story about. I'll piggy front off this and I'll tell you this story, you know, to get, to get you in the new year mood.
A
Bad old days.
B
Yeah, there was a good. Bad old days. That's right. Like we look back upon it fondly, but some of those days when we were in, it didn't feel so great. Right. A lot of people getting laid off, that the economy was terrible.
A
We thought our jobs were saved. We were so glad we didn't get laid off.
B
We're so glad we didn't laid off. And then three months later we're like, shit, we should have gotten laid off. We should have taken that package. Okay, so if you, I don't know if you remember this, but we used to go to this bar. I mean, I know you remember this part. Central City Tavern. It was across the street from my house.
A
We met every day.
B
Every day we went to this place and it didn't matter if we had gone somewhere else. We would end the night at Central City Tavern or we begin the night at Central City Tavern.
A
They even start off at one place and then they move to another place. So we follow the newer place.
B
The very first place we ever went out to drink.
A
Mexican.
B
Yes. Next to the Mexican place. And then they moved across the street from where I lived in this like shopping mall.
A
Which was serendipitous.
B
It was serendipitous. You could walk there. Yeah, you could walk there and I did a lot. Or you could drive there relatively safely because it was only a tenth of a mile. Right? It was a tenth of a mile. And the Atlanta PD had much more bigger fish to fry than Brian.
A
It was right next door to that Mexican restaurant too.
B
That's right.
A
Go have margaritas.
B
Where I would go have margaritas and then go to Central, go over to the other place. It was my favorite. Com 12 combo. Start off with the Mexican whisper, some cheese dip and a couple tortillas, and then walk over get loaded at Central City Tavern, then go wherever it was for the night that we were going to go, then come back to Central City Tavern. That's right. So there was a girl that was working. I know. It was so crazy. Those years were so crazy. Oh, man, I'd be a millionaire if I didn't drink so much. So. And we knew all the bartenders over there, and everyone was friendly, and it was just like. It was like cheers for us, right? It was that kind of place. And this place was easy, enormous, the Central City Tavern. And they had a bar area. And the only place that ever had people was the bar area, the restaurant. It was just completely empty all the time. Sometimes they have a band in the corner, and no one was listening to it. Just loud and obnoxious. So there was a girl who waited tables on that side, like on the restaurant side. Restaurant at Central City Tavern, but the restaurant side. And to me, and I think to a lot of other people, she looked like Elsie from. Do you remember that? So I called her L.C. i would call her L.C. well, she had a kid, and over months, I wore her down, and I finally got her phone number. Over months of tipping and hanging out and, you know, I just. I always thought she was cute. But then one day, you know, we just got talking, and then we. We exchanged numbers, and I said, let me take you to it. She. She was a Braves fan. She hadn't been to many games. And I said, let me take you to a Braves game. I got that pass. I can get you in. And, you know, we could have really good seats.
A
I got good, good.
B
Yes. And so I got that good, good. I got those third row seats where you get wet just sitting there staring at as Chipper Jones flirts with you from the third baseline. You know what I'm saying? I've shared a Volvo with that guy. How does that make you feel? Are you quivering in desire yet? How do those seats feel now, huh?
A
Like a poem you wrote to your last love?
B
Yes. You want some? You want some? You want some cotton candy, huh? I think I could scrounge one up for you.
A
That and a Jaeger. A Jaeger bomb.
B
Yes. We sit in the seats where they don't yell at you about stuff, they bring it to you. They wait tables here. So I say, let me take you to a game. And she calls me that morning. It's a Saturday afternoon game. And she calls me that morning and she says, I'd like to bring my son. And I'm like, oh, I am in way over My head now, but. Okay. Bring your son.
A
Yeah. You can't say no.
B
Yeah, you weren't there. I remember this. Or if you were there, you were somewhere.
A
No, I was not there.
B
But we go this Saturday afternoon. I get there early, as I always did. Yeah, it was a Saturday afternoon.
A
Yeah, I wasn't out.
B
I know, world. I had managed to pick myself up and get to there. So I got there early and started drinking. Drinking as, as one does when they're on a first date with somebody. And by the time she got there with her kid, I was well in the bologna sandwich, you know what I'm saying? And the Braves cheerleader was like. We had not been, you know, together for a minute, but. And this, this whole incident with Chipper Jones had already happened, but the Braves cheerleader was there and she was on me. She was like on me like glue.
A
She felt it. You were there with her.
B
She felt it. That's right, exactly. So when the LC got to the stadium with her son, I tried to dedicate some time to Elsie and her son, but the Braves cheerleader would not leave us alone. She came up, I remember we were sitting at this table, like in one of those, like park bench tables, like having a hot dog or something. Me drunk, you know, Elsie with her kid trying to go, oh, first guy I introduce after daddy's gone is a fucking lush.
A
But he's got, he's a 33 year.
B
Old divorce radio sales guy. He's got that pass. And hey, the cheerleaders like him. The other drunk. Surely the other drunks like him. He must be a good guy. Now I'm thinking about this, wondering how I ever managed to get laid with anybody and how I probably will never get laid again after I tell this story. Astrid's gonna go, oh, it's worse than I thought.
A
Oh, she knows.
B
Oh, I know she knows. Yeah. All these stories are not new to her. These are all the stories I tell to woo a woman. Let me tell you about this funny time. I went to the Braves game, knock dicks with Chipper Jones.
A
Hey.
B
Hey.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah. Hey, yeah. Cool. So here I am, we're at this table and we're sitting there and overcomes Brave's cheerleader. And she sits down right next to this girl Elsie, and she starts talking to her. Oh, we love Brian here. Brian, Brian, Brian. He said he's always here, he's always drinking, he's always got a bunch of friends. It's so good. You know what? I've got some extra seats available. Little close. Let's get that little guy up there. Close. Chipper Jones seats. Let's get Chipper Jones seats. So she was angling. She angled to cockblock me.
A
She did.
B
And she did cockblock me. Because when we got down to those seats, guess who magically didn't need to work until the seventh inning? The Braves cheerleader. And she sat right there. Right there next to LC Right there. Unbelievable. Playing with the kid, talking to LC the entire time. By the end of the afternoon, LC Was like.
A
They were best friends.
B
They were best friends. I was out. And LC Was like, this has been.
A
A lot of fun that you did back in the day.
B
Yeah. Yes. Those two are in. I'm out. It's me and the kid holding our baseball bats in our hands. Well, no Ticky, no Taki today. Kid didn't get a foul ball, and I'm not gonna get any balls. But, hey, at least I shared a Volvo with Chipper Jones. Everything. Well, that ends.
A
You'll always have that.
B
I'll always have that. I'm telling you what, man. It was very interesting. And, you know, he listen is many, many years ago, and I've sobered up since then, and I'm still a jerk, but I'm not drunk, so you can. One could be forgiven for all that jazz. All right, well, listen, I hope all the college football goes well. Happy New Year. Let's get the fuck out of here and take a vacation. God bless you. Let's get these girls home before they kill somebody. Traffic's gonna be a bitch, girls. So don't hate me, but you get many, many days off. So there you go. Well, you get many, many days off. You get a few days off, I'll take a few days off. We'll figure it out.
A
We'll figure it out. Let me know how I can help.
B
Well, yeah. Can you edit episodes 665 through 672?
C
Oh, Chris ABM. She promises.

B
I just remember that song playing at the Honky Time. Yeah, from the Rascal Flats. It was on the. It was in Cars, the movie or something. I don't know. Am I right about.
A
About that?
B
Yeah, I'm right.
A
Yeah. Yeah, I'm right about that.
C
I think it was also just on their album, though.
B
Yeah, I think so, too. Rascal Flats. For a minute.
A
Everybody loved Rascal Flats, that original song.
B
I was a big fan. Listen, how can you not like a little rascal.
A
It's like that is not who sings that song originally.
B
No, that's not. No, that's not who sings that song.
C
I didn't know that.
B
And both versions are good by the way. It's like some one off 80s singer who sang the song and he had and, and it went crazy. Everybody listening it all the time. Back in like 88 to 90, you couldn't throw, you couldn't turn on a radio station without hearing that song. The original version, the Rascal flash baseball bat in 2000. Yeah, that's true. Hey kid, come on, let's get a baseball g bat. While the brave cheerleader blocks me. Your mom.
A
They're probably best friends of this day.
B
What's your name again? I can't believe I'm a dad now. That's hard to believe. Yeah, that was the other thing. After that day I was, I was like not ready to be a dad. I'm way too irresponsible for all that. I don't even have a car with a headlight. How am I going to take care of the kid?

Date: January 1, 2025
Hosts: Bryan Green & Krissy Hoadley
Podcast Theme: Irreverent improv-comedy banter between longtime friends, delving into pop culture, internet drama, personal stories, and comic reflections on ordinary absurdities.
This New Year's Day episode finds Bryan and Krissy embracing their self-proclaimed "drunky skunky" personas as they recount wild stories, riff on current pop culture podcast drama, and swap tales from their misspent radio days in Atlanta. The highlight is Bryan's legendary Chipper Jones love triangle saga. The episode weaves together sharp-witted commentary, meandering tangents, faux-serious college football predictions, and a celebration of old-school hangover brunches. Listeners are treated to the duo's trademark blend of chaos, warmth, and confessional comedy.
(Highly Memorable Segment: 25:26–32:22)
This episode is classic The Commercial Break: a mix of booze-drenched nostalgia, roast-level humor, and (occasionally) thoughtful satire on the state of pop culture. Bryan’s Chipper Jones debacle, a sloshed Braves game, and honest, sometimes cringe-inducing bar stories offer plenty for new listeners to laugh at—and maybe even relate to. You'll leave the episode grateful for your own less-messy love life, and with twelve new ways to call a dog or car a Lamborghini.
Best to you, Best to you, out there in podcast universe!
