Maybe I like to take the edge off

at the end of the day with

a couple of bottles of wine,

a few shots of tequila,

and a fistful of muscle relaxers.

What's that

what?

Every morning at 6 a.m.,

I pick myself up off that floor,

steal some of my kids' Ritalin, and start the day anew. On this episode of The Commercial Break.
No one's life is that perfect. No scene is always that pretty.
No relationship no relationship is that perfect no even when you have an airplane private airplane your life still sucks in some way shape or form money doesn't solve all problems vacations don't solve all problem problems and no one and i mean no one mormon moms cooks fucking chocolate cake in a goddamn $3,000 dress. Fuck you.
The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now. Oh, yeah, cats and kittens.
Welcome back to another episode of the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green.
This is the CEO of TCB. My wife, Astrid.
Best to you, Astrid. Hello, hello.
Best to you, Astrid. Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. 800 episodes of this show and you still don't know to say best to you.
You're fired. I do notice.
But actually, I was thinking about this. Uh-oh.
This is kind of like Chris's signature. Well, yours and Chris's signature, you know, welcome to the show.
True. So as I was getting ready, I was like, well, no, I don't think I should.
You know, I don't want to like. You don't want to say best to you? I mean, I do.
Yes and no. Yes and no.
No, there's no yes and no about it. Our fans say best to you when they text in.

I tell best to you to everyone I talk to on email and text messages on Instagram. But what I mean is, since Chrissy's not here today, I don't want it to sound like I'm just copying what Chrissy says.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
But as my wife and as the OGTCB, I mean, honestly,

you are kind of the reason we're all here. So fuck you.
Thank you. And best to you.
Best to you.

There you go. I don't even know where to best you start.
I think I was talking to Chrissy about

something or somebody said. I don't remember.
I think someone wrote it in an email one time.

Best to you. And I thought that was a very strange way to end an email.
So I started saying it every

I'm sorry. or somebody said...
Yeah, I don't know. I don't remember either.
I think someone wrote it in an email one time, best to you, and I thought that was a very strange way to end an email, so I started saying it every episode of the commercial break. Anyway, Chrissy is not here today.
Inclement weather in Georgia, which means it's farted cold wind for two seconds, has closed down the entire city, and for the sake of safety, we'll keep Christina and Chrissy out of the studio today. So my fine wife Astrid has shown up.
A lot of Venezuelan-related content flowing through the commercial break lately. Well, just like in your life.
Yeah. A lot of Venezuelan content.
I mean, it's only fair that Venezuela is represented in some fair way here on the commercial break. It is a big part of my life.
It is a big part of my life. And it is probably 5,000 of the 6,000 Instagram followers we have are from Venezuela.
Well, that's about true. Yeah, we've got to feed them some Venezuelan content on occasion.
Gustavo was here on a special episode on Saturday. Who won the game, by the way? I totally didn't.
I watched the beginning. Honestly, I don't know.
We should Google that. We should see who won the Venezuelan USA game.
You're the worst. I know.
I am the worst. You put out a special episode.
For the Venezuela USA game, and I don't even know. Venezuela USA.
Let's see here. Venezuela USA.
We didn't even watch it. USA 3, Venezuela 1 on January 18, 2025.
So there you go. For what? USA did by 2.
That's 3 to 1. I found that to be a weird game in the sense that it was in a very small stadium.
It wasn't at Hard Rock like I assumed that it was going to be. Very small stadium.
Yeah, because it's not part of any, like, big league. But it's the first international game.
You would think that down in Florida. No, but those games are, you clearly don't know much about soccer.
Okay, Miss Soccer BBC, tell me all about it. Well, those games are to classify.
For the World Cup. Right.
Yeah, yeah. So even though, yeah, of course, you know, soccer fans watch them.
But they don't, they're not a spot. Like people don't feel so inclined, I guess, to like pay for a ticket to go see the, meaning like they're not that big of a deal.
I know it's a classification game. There are many of them.
If it was the world cup, if it was like last year, Copa America, well, that would be sure. Then you're, you're, I also understand as the stakes get higher than the, then the, I guess the interest gets larger, but being down in Fort Lauderdale, so many Venezuelans living down there, it's kind of like a mini Venezuela down there in between Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
You would think that they could fill a relatively small stadium. I mean, I would assume there was no more than 5,000 seats in that little stadium, whatever it was called.
No, I'm sure they can fill it up but again i don't think now i mean and i talk for the venezuelans um every time la vino tinto which is how we call our team plays yeah especially in the last yeah i would say decade um you know the whole country turns and in support and And, you know, we have like a slogan that it's basically we have faith. And it's because we've never actually made it to the World Cup.
But it's been a big dream of the whole country. Of course.
The day we make it to the World Cup. Because I was explaining this to you last week.
Our national sport is baseball. So that's what the country has always been big on.
Baseball players. Well, baseball in general.
So soccer, it's almost like a newer sport. Right.
But the younger generations, like my brother, they're soccer fans. In my house, even though we did watch baseball and I also grew up, we also have our teams and our local teams and just like here.
I would say my house was more of a soccer house than a baseball house. But let me ask this, because this is counterintuitive to me.
You're down in South America, where soccer is huge. I mean, obviously, it's like...
But that's a misconception, though. It is huge.
But is it? But it's not huge. Like, it's huge in Brazil, of course.
Colombia? It's huge in Argentina. Yeah, but Colombia also, like Venezuela, if you look at historically, it's not like they've been into...
Colombia has grown as a team and has made some bigger accomplishments in the last decade. Okay, but follow me just for a second here.
I don't... Okay, maybe it's a misconception.
I don't live down there and I don't want to claim to speak for the people that live down there. I would say the big...
But hold on. Then Venezuela is mainly or largely Spaniards from Spanish descent.
Well, first of all, if you want to have Venezuelan content, you got to let me speak on top of you. Yeah, I don't want...
That's the one thing that drives me crazy about Venezuelansans this is a good topic to talk about because it's the one thing that drives me up a fucking wall about being in a room full of venezuelans is that no one finishes a sentence ever finishes a sentence because someone's not talking on top of them how do you how do you manage to accomplish to get anything through to anybody i don't know we our brains work that way your brains work and We and have sentences. Okay, all right.
Go ahead, talk over me. Listen, I'm no soccer expert, and if any Hispanic soccer expert listens, I'm probably saying half of what I'm saying, it's not true, which goes along with the theme of the commercial break.
Don't worry about it. We got you covered.
But what I believe is, soccer is not like a big thing in all of the Latin countries. It is for sure a thing in Europe, yes, which includes a Hispanic country like Spain, where it's very big yes um but and yes venezuela was built mainly by spaniards italians the natives right got it okay yeah right and all those countries are big in soccer however like i mean i don't really know the historic facts but our sports like the low the the native i guess the native sport or something somehow it was it's baseball and actually and that comes also because we're a country that it's even though it's inland in the continent it's part of the caribbean and baseball, it's a Caribbean sport.
I got it. Like, I totally understand.
I'm following your flow here. And I also do know that Venezuela has contributed a lot to American professional baseball.
Some of the best baseball players are Venezuelan. Yeah, like if you look at Dominican Republic, Caribbean, big on baseball.
I think half the Atlanta Braves were Venezuelan at one point. I really do.
Yeah, we have exported, that is true, we have exported a lot of baseball players to the major leagues here, which the country has always been very proud about. But soccer is not one of those.
I would say the big countries that have, in my humble opinion, have led the soccer culture in the continent have been Brazil, like I said, Argentina, Uruguay, and Mexico. Mexico is big in soccer, too.
but other that, I think the other countries we've kind of like follow. Chile has a good team too, but I'm not sure if that has been...
So now we've named most of the countries down in South America. Then if you think I named all the countries...
Ecuador, Panigua. You don't know geography.
I do know geography. Okay.
I named four. So I guess the point is that USA beat Venezuela.
I don't think that's any big surprise there. I also understand.
How dare you? I really don't think it's a big surprise. And I think leading up to the world.
It's not that you guys have the best team in the world. No, no, no, no, no.
America has, even though, I mean, America is relatively new to the sport of soccer. Also, we had like when I was a kid, everybody played soccer.
Everybody. I was part of the first wave of children playing soccer.
And now the chickens have come home to roost, even though I've kind of, I'm not of the age where I would be playing professional soccer. I'm a little too old for that.
But now we've had a couple of generations of children that have played soccer, and now it's an incredibly popular sport here in the United States. It is dwarfed by basketball, football, and other sports.
But people get excited now about the sport of soccer. It took us a long time to catch on, but now here we are.
we are and i would say that you know the reason why it's so popular is because parents don't mind their children playing soccer soccer is not a sport i personally and don't take offense with this but i'd rather have my kid play soccer all day long than football just based on like the injury the potential injuries. And then then of course we can go down the rabbit hole about the things you know i personally actually don't even understand football so there's nothing for me to say well speaking of football last night as we're recording this last night ohio state beat notre dame in the first college football bracketed playoff system and they played here here in Atlanta.
Here in Atlanta in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Yeah, they played in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Man, I feel for those people who had to walk just from their car. Here in Atlanta, I was just emailing with somebody at our network, Odyssey, and they are up north.
I think they're in Pennsylvania. And I was saying that it's very cold down here.
But then I looked, it's 20 degrees here feels like zero in Atlanta. But up north, like in the upper peninsula of Michigan, it's like it feels like minus 45 degrees feels like minus minus 45 degrees.
And our city's shut down. I know our city's completely shut down.
No one's going to school over there. Kids are in school.
That's it working it working five feet of snow they just do it but i mean i mean the old adage is they're better prepared for winter weather than we are fair enough but i mean i you know the kids are home from school today and it really makes me a little bit upset because he there is no real threat of snow like any kind of winter weather i was gonna mean, again, I know nothing about cold weather or snow, but it's not snowing. Like, okay.
No. What I thought was like, well, I guess I'll rub the kids with a bunch of layers.
But they don't want the kids out in the cold. I think this is because some kids have to wait for transportation to school and standing out for a bus in feels like zero degree weather.'s serious like you can get frostbite doing that but then since we don't typically experience this kind of cold weather the thought is those children are less prepared than if you live in detroit or the you know chicago wherever if you're a parent it's you just have gloves and ski masks i don't know you have a bunch of shit ready for those kids to go with ski masks to rob a bank or you know you have stand outside for the bus yeah you have snow boots and crampons to get to school yeah skis it's those little walking shoes the snow walking sleds all that shit so here so here we are um we the only thing we have it's like sand buckets for when we go to the beach.
Yeah, I'm just not interested in cold weather. I mean, thank God you and I are on this same page.
Well, and you were born in Chicago. To me, it's like actual torture.
No, it's torture for me too. I was instantly cured of my cold weather, my thick blood the second that I moved down here.
I took to it really well. I dislike the cold with a passion.
I went to go take the trash out last night, and I don't know what it is, 19 degrees, 18 degrees outside. Babe, it's like a different kind of cold.
It doesn't feel good to me at all whatsoever. And now I'm going down.
Also, you don't put jackets on. Well, I mean, I'm just going to take out the trash.
What am I?

Right.

Well, if you're going to starve, it doesn't matter where you're going. What am I, some frou-frou man?

I'm a guy.

I'm a dude.

I can go out there without it.

Clearly.

Yeah.

I had no...

I'm wearing sandals and a short-sleeved t-shirt

complaining about the fact that it's cold.

And now I'm like, at night, I'm going down this rabbit hole

of watching people climb Everest.

I'm in this Everest rabbit hole, they call it. I have no idea why people want to i mean have no idea to each their own to granted i'm not like but from from the outside to me that looks like why would you i think this is why i'm down the rabbit hole why would you ever want to go almost i don't even want to hike to Stone Mountain.
Four miles. I know.
I don't even want to hike up Stone Mountain here. We've done it a couple of times.
I mean, we've been to the top of Stone Mountain a couple of times. I don't even like being that high.
Why would I really put my life at risk? Consciously, from the moment I say, yes, I'm doing it. There is, and I don't even know the statistics.

One out of seven.

Okay, well, then first, and then to make my life miserable?

That's it.

To what?

Because when I was a kid, I remember there was, and I forgot.

There's like a Venezuelan guy that when I was a child made it to the top of the everest and then the everest you go to the top of the everest it's got a name the everest bow to the everest climb the everest do it on the everest okay go ahead that's very royal English of you thank you well that's what I get from watching Bridgerton that's right Bridgerton but um so whatever until the guy became like you know locally famous yeah and then he went on to be like some type of like coach that would go to businesses to give like speech and blah blah yeah of course that's what they do but and back then i remember he went to like my mom at the time the company where my mom was working at and he gave you know a conference and my mom came back like a motivational speech and then my mom came back like oh my gosh we saw this guy blah blah blah you know like he's one at the time apparently he was like one of very few people that had made it to the top right but i i believe by now like after internet and social media and all that like we realize there's actually a lot of people have made it. Now, I'm not taking...
I don't want to take away the challenge. It is hard, no matter how you do it.
But I don't want to be one in already thousands of people have made it. Here's the wrap on Everest.
Having watched now hundreds of hours of content, and I don't know why I'm watching it. I think because it's so antithetical to anything I would ever think about doing.
I understand it. So you now have at base camp down at the bottom of the mountain, you have five different camps.
And at base camp, it's basically a five-star hotel. They bring chefs.
bring chefs they bring tvs they bring satellite radios you have internet everybody's going up there for the clicks everybody wants to get to the top because they want to do a like some dude was the first dude this last year the first guy to do a backflip on the top of the mount don't the backflip on the top of efforts hundreds of people if not thousands of people have died in pursuit of getting up to the top. No matter how you do Everest, it's hard.
And no matter why you do Everest, it's hard. You are putting your life in your own hands, and you are very likely putting other people's lives in your hands, like the porters and Sherpas that have to go with you and do all this stuff.
And if you are ill-equipped, if you have never done something like this before, you can still get to the top of Everest but do you make it down is the question and I just am baffled by people who have no experience doing mountaineering whatsoever deciding that Everest is all of a sudden something they want to do because you can pay a company to basically float you up to the top of it but people die and they die because inexperienced people try and go up there but it's similar to and yes exactly i agree like random people who have never never because if you if that has been a goal of you for years and you have like worked and trained sure get to that point i mean sure right same thing happens with like divers and fishermen or whatever, you know, all kinds of different high risk. Activity? Right.
Fishing. Do you know how many people dive fishing every year? No.
Tens of people. When you dive.
Oh, diving. No, but people who fish.
Spear fishing? Yes. My grandpa, I see, did that.
Oh, okay. I didn't know spear fishing.
No. I didn't know spear fishing was such a dangerous sport.
Right, when you don't have any equipment with you. Well, no, I wouldn't try and do that either.
I am equally as afraid of the top of Everest as I am of the bottom of the ocean. I don't want to do either of those two things.
Or no, I don't, I forgot the name in English, but when you like, the ones who dive with no equipment. Oh, free diving.
They call it free diving. Yeah, yeah.
I've watched a lot of movies on that too. That's crazy.
But it's just like people, you know, you have the people who died and you know, oh, I want to see the Titanic. Yeah.
Like, what for?

Listen, those people, we talked a lot about that.

I still have a hard time believing that people went down in a tin can developed by some dude that was just grifting off people.

By the way, and listen, I like explorers are important people.

People who want to push boundaries, go places other people don't want to and test endurance, human endurance. But I can appreciate that there's a difference between doing that blindly because you think there's some recognition or some hoopla for it and then having some internal drive to do it and also having a brain to go along with it.
But let me, I would just ask a person who has no mountaineering experience, decides they want to go on an Everest adventure, which, by the way, can be two to three months. You might get one or two days that the window is good.
And when there's thousands of people on the mountain, there's a traffic jam. And that's why people are dying.
I would ask somebody, if you have no experience mountaineering and you want to go to the top of Everest and you think paying somebody $50,000 to shepherd you up there is a good idea so you can take a picture at the top of the mountain, would you also go 500 to 600 feet underwater, hold your breath for 15 minutes? No, without any training? Of course you wouldn't, because that's a dumb fucking idea. The same principle applies when you go to the top of Everest.
And listen, I'm not the guy who would ever climb Everest. I don't know what it's like.
And I will say that anybody who even tries it, attempts it, has bigger cojones than I do. So I'm not trying to like shit on people who just decide they want to up and decide they want to go to Everest.
But I watch all these videos, and I understand that people who really do love Everest and love mountaineering and love climbing and do it for a living, they're very concerned about how many people are now just showing up at Everest trying to get up to the top for no reason. It's become like a commercial thing.
It's very commercialized. Like everything, right? And we should really try to maybe pay more attention to.
Yeah. Let the professionals go up Everest national geographic do that they're good you know they're good at finding people who are professional for that we all have stone mountain to climb stone mountain over 200 feet over 200 feet tall you could take a tram up to the top last week there was a bad news um it was bad news last week? Yeah, about something happening.
Dun, dun, dun, dun! Bad news. Don't tell me.
I can't take it. No, somebody...
Somebody fell off the mountain? Unalived himself. He fell off the mountain? Or something like that.
Oh, he unalived himself? Or he accidentally unalived himself? Well, I read it was like with that purpose. He like ran and jumped off the mountain? I have no idea.
When you go to the top of that stone mountain, it's very flat at the top. And there's like a huge area where you can stand.
But it's clear that there's a line. And if you go past that line, it's just a sheer drop off.
off and they have gates there they have like fences and gates they do it's on some parts of it they have fences and gates but still it always makes me very nervous you know the couple times you've taken the kids up there especially if they start running around yeah yeah yeah i just don't like heights in general i don't like heights in general and that's why i even surprised myself climbing up that rock wall at great wolf lodge it's very proud of myself i don't know why i did it i did it because you said that i couldn't do it that's why i did it i did it just to spite you how do you feel about that you're my fourth child i am i'm like a child and you're and you're my fourth child no there you go i just have to take care of you a lot less i'm a very mature child if that's okay okay well we'll

hear astrid toot more of her own horn when we get back i want to talk uh i want to talk about the tiktok ban that lasted 24 hours talk about trump meme coin and the melania meme coin and tell you why i think we should all get in on this action grifting ourselves to death right after these We'll be back.

Okay, back here with Astrid as Chrissy and Christina take an inclement weather day, whatever the fuck that means, inclement weather day. It's cold outside.
I can't be outside. Actually, I don't want to go outside either, so I can't blame them.
Yeah, and if there is, on the off chance that there is snow, I wouldn want chrissy and christina stuck here yeah because that would they would be miserable in this household if they had let's listen to our children run around for five six days however long it's going to be it's going to be cold for the next week too jeez well there's like a winter storm yeah there's yeah through like the whole country i know you know the crazy thing is is like even in Ameliaelia island they're expecting snow down there that's kind of insane i know that's what i listen i don't know how the things go but yesterday last night i was looking at the weather channel yeah and it showed like parts of south of here yes we're getting snow yes and we're not and I I was like, well, I don't know how the math works, but in my head, I would have thought. Well, it just has to do with the way the jet stream is passing over us, and the jet stream pushes the moisture down south instead of up here.
So don't ask me. I'm not a weatherman, but I think I can predict the weather better than some of the weatherman, if I'm being honest.
A week ago, we were going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. Now we're not even going to get any snow, but the kids are still home, and Chrissy and Christine aren't here.
So Astrid and I doing an episode here in the studio. It's convenient for us to just walk down the hallway and do an episode.
So there you go. All right.
So TikTok ban. TikTok ban went into on sunday on monday afternoon donald trump signed an executive order giving basically giving tiktok more time i think he gave them 90 days to figure out whatever it is they need to figure out i don't know if they need to be sold or change the way they're doing things apparently the deal was that they needed to sell it to an american owner yeah to a u.s based corporation and there are many wait now they'll sell it to yeah they're gonna sell it to well i don't think that should happen i mean i i don't think it i don't think you i don't want to go down a big political rabbit hole but it's clear to me that elon has lost his marbles and i don't know if any of these funds that could afford to fund elon to buy it would actually take the risk on elon

buying it because if elon did to tiktok what he did to twitter he will devalue it overnight and

it will just be another shit show lots of other platforms like blue sky and threads they're really

getting they're they're getting a ton more traffic because people have realized that when you build

your world on someone else's platform the rug can get pulled any day now threads and blue sky

I more traffic because people have realized that when you build your world on someone else's platform, the rug can get pulled any day. Now, threads in Blue Sky are somebody else's platform too.
But being a content creator is really tough. And a lot of these TikTokers rightfully had the holy shit scared out of them because their only source of revenue was turned off for a day.
And what was scary was the thought that that could happen forever. So I really feel for a lot of these creators.
Apparently, TikTok paid good money. TikTok pays, I think, the best of it.
I mean, Instagram just started paying. What, about a year ago they just started paying? YouTube is a joke.
I don't know because we don't have enough followers to know. Yeah, we don't yeah we don't have enough followers this is and this is gonna i'm gonna go there in a second and i know i know where your head is at but you know youtube is a joke you have to get millions and millions of views and you have to be on the safe side of the content you can't like the content that we produce it's just not favored by the algorithm and i don't know that it ever will, you know, we'd have to have millions and millions of viewers just to make any kind of living.
So the RSS feed for us, where you're listening to us on whatever player, is really an opportunity for a creator to kind of own their world. It doesn't matter if one of these platforms goes away because you can listen to us on 150 other platforms.
And I like that about the RSS feed. It's decentralized.
I own it. And in partnership with my network, I get this produced and out to you whenever I want to, however I want to.
And if I want to turn Spotify off, I can turn Spotify off. I don't like what they're doing.
I just turn it off, right? If I don't like what Apple's doing, I just turn it off. Now, I wouldn't do that because those are the places where y'all are listening to us right but these content creators they're really putting their lives in the owners of tiktok's hands and if it goes away what do they do well they i mean it's like being a one-legged table if the leg gets kicked out from under you the table's gonna fall and everything on it's gonna it's going to go with it.
That's why, like, in the last years, I've seen more and more of people. I remember when Instagram started.
Back in the day, back in my day, when Instagram started. Nope.
2010. 2010.
And, you know, the people who were kind of already famous

game... when instagram started no and um and you know the people who were kind of already famous gained like a lot of follow followers quickly and and then of course like the whole platform started growing more and more with celebrities and and content creators and whatnot but then people i remember at least in venezuela it started happening to happening to uh famous you know radio artists actresses and actors that they would get hacked and all of the sudden they had a platform with you know 200 000 people half a people, and it went away because somebody hacked it.
And they couldn't figure a way to get those accounts back. So they had to start like...
Start all over again. Again with an account from zero.
And then eventually I started seeing all these, you know, like social media experts, marketing, you know, accounts that you follow to kind of like grow your, you know, your Instagram account. And the one thing they would say, it's like you need to convert those Instagram followers in whatever it is that actually, and that's why people, you know, are always like, sign up to my newsletter.
Well, yeah, the word is, is that get what's called first person data, get an email address. Get a physical address.
Get a phone number. Get them over to your website where they can get involved in the club.
You remember we had the break room for 35 seconds. Or if you sell something, just convert them into your own ecosystem.
Because the second that platform goes away, for whatever reason, then it's like what's happening with TikTok. All these content creators just basically built, quote unquote, you know, like a career on there in the last couple of years or since the pandemic.
And one day it was off and they were all. Yeah, they're all scared shitless.
And it's really understandable. And I think there's a valuable lesson here.
And that's that the tech billionaires, the tech oligarchs, they can at any time fuck around with whatever they want to fuck around with. And things change.
There's a big to do right now about whether or not a podcast should have video. That's the huge conversation going on in podcasting right now.

Spotify putting videos up, and there's a lot of people in our industry,

in the audio podcasting landscape, that don't want to play nice with Spotify

in this push to get video on their platform,

because they don't believe that Spotify is going to treat those creators correctly,

and that Spotify is just making a play to get Mr. Beast over, to get all of those big video content creators over to Spotify so that they can eat YouTube's lunch.
Okay, you know, the commercial break is not going to make a difference either way, one way or the other, whether or not we put videos on Spotify or not. It's not going to materially affect us or the traffic on Spotify, whether or not we do.
But these content creators on TikTok, I mean, I hope are learning a valuable lesson about diversifying where you're at. And here's the thing.
When you're a content creator like we are, and you're listening to our show, and so many of you write in and you're very faithful to the show and you're loyal to the show and you love us and we love you and it's a great relationship that we have the one so and a lot of you ask like what's the one way that we can help like how can we help what can we do for the show there's one thing that you can do for the show that's super important and that is there's i mean under one umbrella, and that is engage with the show. Follow us on Instagram.
Follow us on YouTube. Comment, subscribe.
Watch the shows when we put them on social media or on YouTube, because by engaging, you then allow us to go out and to place sponsorships into the show. We have made the decision not to do memberships and stuff like that.
First of all, I'm not sure anybody would pay for this shitty show. But second of all, it's just, I'd rather do it for free and have a few sponsors in the show and make our living that way.
But we do need your help with that. Like this whole thing with TikTok, I think underlines the importance that if you like our show, if you like what we're doing, if you're engaged in the commercial break, engage with us in multiple ways.
Subscribe, like, comment on the show, because that way we're diversified. We're not just on...
Well, it helps us grow. It helps us grow, yeah.
Which means that it also helps us stay, you know, produce, like continue to produce a show. We can't produce the show.
Yeah, we can't produce the show unless we have sponsors. We can't have sponsors unless people are engaged in our show.
Here's the other thing that Astrid pointed out that I think is really smart. Yeah, I was going to.
Is that if you really like our show, if you're like all of you who are texting me, like, you know, on a daily basis, some of you, if you really like the show,

the biggest compliment,

the biggest favor,

the biggest financial

and spiritual

and emotional favor

you could do

the commercial break,

share it with people.

Share it with your friends.

Share it with your family.

Word of mouth.

I know you're a little embarrassed

that you listened

to the commercial break.

I'm a little embarrassed

to create it.

But hey,

we can all take our lumps

and just share it with them. Share an episode with them you know um it really it's something that i understand you don't think about like on your daily basis but um just one minute of your time to click the share uh share an episode with somebody that maybe you heard something that reminded you of a friend or that you saw a family member that you think can relate to.
If you saw a family member you don't like, share the commercial break with them. Right.
If you're dating some hot chick and you want her to break up with you, you want to ghost her, don't ghost her. Send her an episode of the commercial break.
That that random action yes uh that may not really mean anything to you for us means a lot yeah and like i tell you guys like like two years ago three years ago you can ask astrid i would refuse to come on air and say something like this because i don't want to like grovel at anybody's feet if you like the show, you like the show. That's it.

That was in my head for a long time.

But now I'm of the opinion that there's a community of us

that are talking to each other,

and you're listening to the episodes and commenting on Spotify.

Sorry it took me a year to get back to you.

But there's a bunch of people out there

who really do like the commercial break,

and we like producing it.

So if you want us to continue to produce it, you can do a huge favor share the show engage in the content um and communicate with us too we'd love to hear from you and i i think that's the groveling that that's all the groveling i'm going to do for this week um it's sweet yeah blue needs to eat blue needs a new home so if you like blue if you like the idea of a dog constantly barking and shitting all over your house, please text us. I'll be happy to eat.
Blue needs a new home. So if you like Blue, if you like the idea of a dog constantly barking and shitting all over your house, Text us.
Please text us. I'll be happy to ship her to you.
DHL. None of that fancy FedEx shit.
All right. Okay.
Speaking of TikTok creators, one of the things that was interesting that came out of this whole TikTok ban was TikTok creators who are extraordinarily popular on the platform believing that TikTok would go away forever and forever and really not wanting to like you know i guess they figured the game was up the gig was out we aren't going to do this anymore they would reveal their secrets did you hear about this so many tiktokers revealing that in fact they are full of fucking shit what do you mean so i'll give you an example there is a uh and i have a couple of

examples here but i there's one that i there's a famous girl on tiktok sat down and did videos saying like they did videos i was teaching you how to clean your house i was teaching you how to do makeup i never liked the makeup i taught you to do the 10 pump foundation 10 pumps is way too much uh i made all of these uh beautiful fruit-based ice cubes that you could put in your water i've never used ice cubes i don't like them uh one girl who was famous for having a billionaire boyfriend she would create content about her and her billionaire boyfriend but the boyfriend was never in in the videos. The boyfriend was fake.
He never existed. I mean, just like Charlie D'Amelio.
Is that like that famous girl, Charlie? Whatever. Anyway, she was caught one time with what people said was a vape because her fan base is so young.
She said, it's not a vape. It's an anxiety pen, a pen that you fiddle with for anxiety.
She admitted it was in fact a vape because her fan base is so young she said it's not a vape it's an anxiety pen a pen that you fiddle with for anxiety she admitted it was in fact a vape like so many people went on tiktok and just like admitted that they were full of fucking shit yeah but i mean i i guess that's good that they did that just so that people realize that what you see in social media but honestly also at this point don't we all agree that most of the things that I just said this the other day even influencers that I personally follow and somehow you know like respect in a way like I feel like their content is genuine and you know and i like them or i like what they share right now i don't know them personally so it could very well be just you know a show that they're just putting on for the camera but i understand also because how do they make a living like with all the because instagram makes you this close when it's a partnership like you're getting paid and they have to put like a hashtag on of course this is a big deal that's happening right now in our industry yeah it's like i get it like i believe that you know i'm sure they like the product or especially if they're talking about products that I've seen they have been, you know, promoting for, like, years. It kind of makes sense, right? Like, if you don't really like a product, I guess you're not going to promote it for five years.
But at the same time, I'm also not oblivious to the fact that I'm sure, like, it like that product is you know the god of the whatever it is that you're promoting it's like okay you know you have to take it all with there's a yeah so if someone is i mean i think everybody understands that if someone is promoting something they're getting paid to do so they're not going to say negative things about it right period into sentence i see a lot of content creators out there that will literally promote whatever the fuck is thrown their way regardless of i think regardless of whether they feel it's a good product or not we kind of take the stance here that you know we are likely to use it if we promote it it's something that we would use it's something do use. It's something that we like.
That's just because I don't want to fuck

over the listeners. There's so

many things that we get requests for.

Will you do this? Will you do that? And we say no

because I wouldn't use it in the first place.

So I'm not going to do it. I'm not even talking about

the promoting. These people are not talking

about promotions. They're talking about their content

in general was full of

fucking shit. I just said this about that girl

Bobby Althoff. I said her name was Atloff.
It's Althoff. I'm sorry.
However you say her last name. She, you know, so many people are like, oh, Bobby's fake.
She's fake. She's fake.
It's all a thing that she's doing for the camera, this kind of disinterested, you know, flat tone that she has with these interviews she's doing. What did you expect?

Did you expect that everybody who turns on a camera is going to be 100% organic? There's like something a little bit showmany about wanting to be on camera. There's going to be a little twist in your personality or voice when the cameras go on.
That's just the way that it is. Yeah, but like, for example, talking specifically about this girl, you say that she used to share you know content about her billionaire uh boyfriend and you know i'm sure the all the private plane trips and all that okay it's like it's just like people who all that they share is the pretty you know the the pretty way they decorated their living room or how they redid their bedroom.
Wonderful. And I'm sure that's how it looks when after you clean up and organize.
Right. I'm sure you also, you know, clean the scene and all of that to take the picture and post it on Instagram.
that's what people forget it's like you think

everything in their lives looks like that no i think there's a lesson here even when you like the listener or we go to take a picture of our kids of ourselves or we're taking a video or whatever we clean up behind us we look for the best spot we look for the best view behind us And you pose the picture, you feel like you look the best.

Of course.

There is always a bit of... Clean up behind us.
We look for the best spot. We look for the best view behind us.
And you pose the picture, you feel like you look the best.

Of course.

There is always a bit of in, I guess, like...

Appearance.

Yeah.

It's non-organic.

It's non-authentic because you are making sure that it's the best angle.

Because that's how you want to present yourself to the world.

It's just like most people don't go out of the house wearing just underwear with holes in it or shit stains. They don't do that because they want to present themselves to the world in the best possible light.
Now, that doesn't always happen. That doesn't include everybody in the world.
But there's a certain amount of showmanship that goes into just being a human being. Now, making up a billionaire out of whole cloth and trying to convince everybody and their mother that you have a billionaire boyfriend that's a little andy kaufman-esque and what i mean by that is it's like now you're just putting on a whole show forever now you're creating a character out of whole cloth there's nothing organic about it i don't know if i agree or disagree i don't really give a shit if I'm following somebody and they're creating content that's entertaining to me.

Well, maybe it really doesn't matter at the end of the day because I'm not paying them to do that. I do.
I agree with what you just said. And also, those people, the problem is, again, yes, if you have followers and they enjoy your content, go ahead, you know, to each of their own, whatever.
but I

like that also then becomes part of the problem of the problem that social media has actually increased uh you know mental illnesses insecurities in people because you go there and it's like you know oh everyone's house is perfect. Like for some people that has become a true.
Absolutely. I personally actually last year I unfollowed a couple accounts that I used to love because I came to the conclusion that it's like, if this is really their life the wonderful that's

not how my life is and just because i it was kind of like bothering me that it was so perfect you

were jealousy watching not jealousy but also like comparing yeah wow my life is not yes you know

that put together all the time and one day i realized i was like no i mean i'm sure theirs

is not either no they're just showing the pretty picture so i just decided you know what

Thank you. And one day I realized, I was like, no, I mean, I'm sure theirs is not either.
No. They're just showing the pretty picture.
So I just decided, you know what? I'm not. But I think we've gotten to the point, I would like to think, at least a lot of us, in the collective consciousness, that we inherently understand that no one's life is that perfect.
No scene is always that pretty. No relationship is that perfect.
No, even when you have an airplane, private airplane, your life still sucks in some way, shape, or form. Money doesn't solve all problems.
Vacations don't solve all problems. And no one, and I mean no one, Mormon moms, cooks fucking chocolate cake in a goddamn $3,000 dress.
Fuck you, trad wives. That's all I got to say.
Fuck you and your weird sense of feminism. Fuck that.
Fuck that trad wife bullshit. Do you see that? No.
You see those ladies that they're cooking like chocolate cakes in like $3,000 Belonziongzio dresses or whatever whatever if all the dresses and the outfits in my closet were three thousand dollars then i guess you would make chocolate cake and three thousand dollar dresses now but since they're not even the fifty dollar dress i i go change yeah babe to my pajama i love you and your fifty dollar muumuu from Walmart. It's my favorite.
I love you regardless of what you wear. And that is why you need to share an episode of the commercial break.
Get Astrid a new Moo Moo from Target that she can cook chocolate cake in. Alright, we'll take a break.

Terms and conditions apply. You know, the TikTok reveal that killed me was Jojo Siwa.
You know Jojo Siwa? What is the obsession you have with Jojo Siwa? I don't know. There's something like, there's something weirdly interesting about Jojo Siwa and all of her machinations.
I don't know. I got fascinated by that dance she did in the video.
You know, she's like a child star that's now like every other child star. No, I know who she is.
Okay. No, I'm explaining to the audience.
Like, she's breaking away from this child star persona that she has, and now she's, like, hyper-sexualized. You know, like, all the female child stars have to do, according to the Hollywood rules of sexualization, I guess.
I'm not sure. No, but think about it.
But hold on. But one of the things that she was doing was running around, doing all these performances, and, like, drinking out of a Tito's or a Fireball bottle, like like drinking straight alcohol.
And people were like, holy shit, like she would take six, seven slugs out of it. Well, she admitted, at least on one occasion, that that Tito's was not in fact Tito's vodka.
It was just water. And so that's good for her health.
But I was really disappointed by that because I thought, well, she's breaking away from her youthful appearance and also then getting highly intoxicated on stage.

But it's just fake.

So fuck JoJo Siwon, her fake T-dotes.

So let's talk about Donald Trump for a minute.

So here we are, day three of the Donald Trump presidency.

Not going to get into all the politics because that's for a different time, for a different show. For a different podcast.
Different podcast. But I will say this is that the grand grift is on.
Donald Trump and Melania Trump have both within hours, actually Donald did it beforehand, Melania did it afterwards, within hours of the inauguration, put out these meme coins these all alternate alt coins you know bitcoin like uh electronic currency a meme coin is basically this it has a cryptocurrency that has no value whatsoever they just make it based on a meme like a personality or something out there on the internet and there are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of meme coins and they are well known are they based on the donald trump memes they are based on the donald trump memes because those i personally love well this one is just the based on his on him donald trump he created his own and at one point, the Donald Trump meme coin had a valuation of $85 billion dollars hours after the inauguration. Do you know how much Target the corporation is worth? $62 billion.
The Donald Trump meme coin was worth more momentarily than the Target corporation was, Target being an S&P 500 company. Melania then announced her coin hours after the inauguration.
And guess what happened? The Donald Trump coin lost half of its value. And then the Melania Trump coin shot up in value.
In other words, everybody's trying to rug pull everybody else. Everybody's trying to be the last sucker in the pot essentially the last frog in the pot so to speak everyone is launch a tzv coin i have thought about this so this this is exactly what we were talking about with the hawk to a girl remember the hawk coin that is now probably going to get her landed in jail what in the fuck is going on why are we all just grifting each other at this point? Why is everybody allowing people at the top to just absorb massive amounts of wealth while everybody else gets stuck with the Trump coin or the Melania coin or the Haktua coin or whatever coin, the Pepe coin? It doesn't matter.
You name it. They have no intrinsic value whatsoever except to make other people rich and

those other people will not be me it will not be you because we are the suckers who are giving the money it's fucking insane to me we need a tcb coin immediately if not sooner why don't we have a tcb coin well we can call it the possum coin well yeah possum coin that's it i like that Possum coin.

It's just crazy to me.

And then, so, like, there was this guy who was doing the, you know, when Donald was getting sworn in, he was doing the, he was the preacher. The preacher giving some kind of speech.
That preacher got off the dais of giving that speech, walked into the back of wherever the fuck they were, the rotunda or whatever, walked into the back and immediately started recording himself. He put out his own meme coin.
Minutes after he gave like some, you know, I don't know, eulogy or whatever the fuck he was talking about. Some, you know, passionate, the Lord loves us, the Lord loves Donald Trump, the Lord will save us, all this shit.
He walks right into the back. He starts filming himself.
And now he's got a meme coin also. He's also grifting everybody.
I'm sure he did. Because what happens- Well, should we jump in the train? I think we- Don't we have to at this point? Isn't this the only thing that's going to save the commercial break is a meme coin that can get grifted? How many people listen to the commercial break don't know a couple hundred thousand people a couple hundred thousand people bought a meme coin i thought it was 10 people well and in my mind it's a couple hundred thousand people i like to pretend that we're bigger than we are i like to pretend just like meme coin people like to pretend that they're actually making money it's fucking insane to me babe it's insane everything is for.
Everything is for sale. Everyone is for sale.
Everyone's a sucker. It's insane to me that you were reading about all of this.
That's what's insane. Why is it insane that I was reading about this? I personally find it so boring.
I didn't. I actually watched a video on it by this guy named Coffeezilla.
Because also, you know, I am hooked with that show that i'm watching how did

we go from trump to your show how did we go from trump mean coin to your show i knew you're gonna try and fit this in somewhere what is this show okay tell us about the show no tell us about the show now we're gonna talk about the spanish show like from spain okay and from and it's in spanish yeah of course

yeah

yeah it's just

it's Bridgerton

yeah it's Bridgerton

yeah

well

yeah Okay. And from.
And it's in Spanish. Yeah, of course.
Yeah. Yeah, it's just.
It's Bridgerton. Yeah, it's Bridgerton.
Yeah. Well, yeah, it's like a Bridgerton.
What is it about? Did Gustavo recommend this to you? Yes. Is Gustavo recommending romantic period pieces to you? No, because even though it has romance.
Yes. It's mainly like suspense.
Like there's a mystery in the family.

So it's big.

Romance is actually not like the main part of it.

Romance is not the main part of it.

No.

It's a drama.

Yeah.

It's suspense.

It's a thriller.

What are we suspended about?

What is the drama?

Babe, three seasons. Each season has 28 episodes.
Jesus Christ, this is on Netflix? No. What is it on? Bix.
Bix. On Amazon Prime.
Bix? B-I-X? V. V-I-X? Yes.
Vix. Like the vapor rub? That's like the platform for all the Hispanic shows.
Okay. All right.
28 episodes. Hour-long episodes? And by the way, this also is a show from 2011.
Oh, okay. But since it is a period piece, you actually don't know it is.
Yeah, I guess that's the good news is you can watch it anytime. I just don't get it.
I can't get into those period pieces. I really can't.
But it's really good, I have to say. All right, fair enough.
I'll let you watch it. Actually, I think you would like it.
I think you would get hooked into the story, but you would have to watch it with subtitles. It's not translated.
Well, I will tell you something. Here's a little knowledge about Brian and Ast astrid back right when we had our first child or maybe you were pregnant with our first child there was a show on um what was that show on what's that univision yeah on univision your first telenovela and what was the name of it uh something de muerte yeah I forgot I forgot what it was called too

but it was on

every And what was the name of it? Something de Muerte? Yeah. I forgot.
I forgot what it was called too, but it was on every night. I was totally hooked.
It was on every night, four nights a week. Five nights a week.
I thought it was four nights a week, Monday through Thursday. It was on Monday through Thursday at 8 o'clock, and I was absolutely hooked.
And the show was about a father of a rich, like he owned a company and he died and he came back as another person. He like inhibited somebody else's body and came back as another person.
And this show made no sense whatsoever. There was, it was like loose ends everywhere.
And I was absolutely hooked on this show. It was only in Spanish, only Spanish subtitles.
And so we had to watch it very painstakingly slow so that Brian could pause and read what was in Spanish and try and understand it. I loved that telenovela.
I really did. We haven't found one since that's all that good.
We tried to watch a couple of others. Well, I don't think you've really given it a try.
No, it took up a lot of my time. And now we have so many children.
I don't know how I would ever. How am I supposed to read that much Spanish? Instead, you like to watch videos about people claiming the Everest.
Astrid likes to go to the Everest. Astrid's going to go to the Everest in climate.
Or about. The meme coin.
The Donald Trump meme coin. Donald Trump coin.
I'm sorry. It got me hot under my collar.
I just couldn't believe that so many people are jumping in on this when they know they're going to get fucked. How? You know.
You know what's coming down the track. I mean, listen, it's a Ponzi scheme.
And the people who get in early and the people who sell quickly, they will probably make some money. There are suckers that always come in behind you, right? but at the end of the day when it has no value and it can't be used anywhere

and there's nothing to be done

except There are suckers that always come in behind you, right? But at the end of the day, when it has no value and it can't be used anywhere and there's nothing to be done except to try and make a little bit of cash in the transaction, you're giving all the fees to someone who's already incredibly wealthy with all of the power in the world. And then you're also giving money to his cronies who essentially hold a lot of this meme coin.
This, by the way, this is not just donald trump there are so many people out there that are doing this there was a guy who started the official cuba meme coin the day like the day of the on monday the day of the inauguration he started the official cuba meme coin and people thought it was actually cuba putting out a meme coin and that guy got filthy fucking rich while the rest of the people are left holding the bag it's there's no value in it you can't make money unless you're so fucking

quick and it just drives me crazy i feel bad for people who don't know any better and they're like

you know dump fifty thousand dollars of their hard-earned money in this shit and they lose

forty nine thousand of it because they don't inherently understand how dumb this really is

it's just a grift it's just a way to suck up a bunch of other people's cash and it makes me sad

Thank you. 9,000 of it because they don't inherently understand how dumb this really is.
It's just a grift. It's just a way to suck up a bunch of other people's cash.
And it makes me sad. Astrid, it makes me sad.
Maduro would be proud. That's all I got to say.
All right. All right.
Well, thank you for coming in with me today. I certainly appreciate it.
Thanks for having me. My beautiful wife, Astrid, here in the studio.
Hopefully tomorrow we'll be back with Chrissy and Christina. But if not, this one will show back up because she's contractually obligated to do so.
You are the official sum. Because you're close and you can walk down the hallway and come in the studio.
It's either you or some of the kids. And I don't think we want the kids on the episode.
Yes, she's wonderful. All right, you heard us.
We're groveling today on the episode. Please do us a favor.
Don't let us fall at the hands of the fate of the TikTok or the Everest or the Instagram or whatever it is. Do us a favor.
Subscribe to the show. Engage with the content.
Share it with a friend. And that way we can keep doing these episodes for another 700 episodes, which is like only a year's worth of it.
I think we're doing like 280 of these episodes a year. So when we get to a thousand, we get to a thousand, I'm going to feel pretty accomplished actually.
There's not a lot of podcasts out there that have a thousand episodes. I think there's only like 600 and people who get to 3000 episodes, I think there's only a few.
Joe Rogan. Is this Joe Rogan? I think he's on 3000.
