Major breaking news today in the Crab Apple Township: as the escalating war between Tina of Tina Tan and Twees and Diane of the Diane Duck Inn has reached a fevered pitch.

As now, Tina and her toothless wife, Wanda, have laid bare accusations against Diana and Duck Inn and their severely overcooked chicken fingers.

Many in the CrabApple Township have been torn asunder by these accusations.

Family member against family member, neighbor against neighbor, Tina Tan and Twees or Duck Inn.

Quite frankly, it's hard for this reporter to stay impartial.

However, on social media, just today, Tina and her wife Wanda releasing the video moments after receiving unchewable chicken fingers.

This video is as emotional as it gets.

If you have children in the room, I highly suggest they leave now.

Let's listen now to that video of these accusations that are currently tearing the township apart.

We asked them for chicken strips that my wife can chew that are not hard.

Please do not cook them too long.

What do they do?

They cook them too long.

And now she can't eat them.

Let me finish this first.

We ordered freaking french fries with cheese sauce on them.

Didn't get that.

I ordered chicken chicken wings

with a side of fries with cheese on it.

Didn't get it.

My wife calls up there to tell him what was wrong.

She was calm.

She was, she's like, hey, I just left there.

And my chicken fingers are cooked too long.

Can you...

And the lady stops her.

Well, if you weren't such a fat fucking bitch, and

she called her a cunt and everything else, all because my wife was actually being nice and was like, can you please fix it?

Well, she called her everything under the sun.

And instead of my wife fighting back, she's sitting here fucking crying.

I was the one that flipped out on him and we're calling the Better Business Bureau.

And let me tell you do not go to the duck-in because obviously they need better management than that bitch behind the bar diana die no was it diane yeah

well let me tell you diane i'm coming for you diana from diana's duck end then responded by calling tina's wife wanda the toothless wonder our world as we know it spinning in the opposite direction we will of course be here in studio live with any additional breaking news.

But for now, we must go to a commercial break.

His face changes.

I offer a 30-minute complimentary podcast.

I will not try and sell you anything.

I will add no value to your life whatsoever.

You will have to listen to commercials.

Get on my calendar.

The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.

5:30.

Oh, yeah, Cats and Kittens.

Welcome back to the Commercial Break.

I'm Brian Green.

This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Odley.

Best to you, Chris and

best to you out there in the podcast universe.

How the hell are you?

Thanks for joining us on yet another episode of the South Commercial Break.

It's the only one you need.

The only one you'll ever need.

It's not for everybody, but at least it's free.

Fact, news, or fiction, guaranteed in five minutes or less.

Or your money back.

Go to tcbpodcast.com to collect your winnings.

I did it.

Yes, you did.

I still remember it.

It's like riding a bike.

Once you get into it, you just never forget it.

That, of course, is the season two and season three opening that left us with little to no listeners.

Average listen time, 3%.

I wanted to say a few things.

We were just talking about one of my brothers is going to Europe on a little vacation, and of course he's having all kind of travel drama because the travel drama is high right now.

All the thunderstorms and weird weather.

I was just watching.

My flight got canceled coming back from Memphis.

Yeah, that's right.

You were stuck in Memphis for an extra day.

He got stuck.

They canceled his flight.

He found another flight.

He gets to Charles de Gaulle, which is in Paris.

And Charles de Gaulle, a two, one and a half, two hour layover turns into like 25 hours or something, enough time to go sightseeing in Paris.

And it's not like the airport's, I mean, it's close, but it's not right around the corner.

And Paris traffic can be terrible, too.

So he's out there.

Listen, there's all kinds of travel drama right now.

And the 4th of July weekend that just happened does nobody any favors, but the weather is wild.

I mean, it's wild all throughout the country.

All throughout.

And even in Europe.

And even in Europe.

You're right about that.

Yeah, no, there's flooding and hail.

Greece is on fire, or one of the islands is on fire.

And they had like, I saw that there was like a tornado in Ireland or the UK.

Like, they don't have tornadoes over there.

And there was a tornado.

They don't have tornadoes.

It's just not a thing that they're north enough that tornadoes don't happen.

They don't have that kind of weather.

But I saw that some they spotted the tornado.

But then I saw in Vegas

that a windstorm, a dust storm came by, and it blew like 55 power poles down on one street.

They all just went down in a row.

Wow.

And people on the internet are fucking stupid because they can't just accept that something happened.

It all has to be some mysterious global conspiracy.

terrorism, aliens.

Joe Biden is always the default reason.

COVID, the vaccine, vaccine, Kamala Harris, Beyonce took $10 million to push the telephone poles down.

I mean, it's really quite crazy how crazy people are online.

They're nuts.

And with the chemtrails, it's all being caused by the chemtrails, and the sunsets are no longer the same as they used to be.

They're now a different hue of red because of global elites flying their planes over Leonardo DiCaprio.

Thank God that JD Vance is saving us from wind turbines and chemtrails.

People are fucking loony, too.

A dust storm blowing at 90 to 100 miles per hour.

That's a level, that's a Hurricane Cat 1 in Las Vegas, where there is basically nothing to stop the wind or the dust.

The desert, too.

One of the poles goes down, they yank all the other poles down that are already getting stressed by the wind.

There's a lot of video of this windstorm that happened.

There are tractor trailers that are blown over.

There are porta-potties that are like a mile away from where they originally were.

It's pretty clear what happened, but no one can accept that on fact.

Everyone has a different conspiracy theory.

And I think you're all very sick and you need mental evaluation immediately if you believe these things.

Why?

Why does it all have to be a conspiracy?

Why can't it just be the thing that happened?

Why isn't it just the thing that happened?

It was a windstorm.

When it rains here, I don't say it's because Joe Biden is seeding the clouds above my house to make my pool overflow and some grand global conspiracy to spread E.

coli all across my yard.

It rained.

Now, how did the rain happen?

Why is it raining so much?

I don't know.

That's a different story altogether.

Maybe that has to do with something called global warming.

But you know what?

God forbid me from accepting science as fact.

I don't know, Chrissy.

I just think people are really mentally challenged.

There's a lot of people on this earth, and most of us are not well.

And that remains my belief to this day.

I agree.

And if you don't accept my hypothesis, then you are welcome to turn off the commercial break.

If you're one of these people that are conspiracy-minded, let me hand you a ladder down that rabbit hole you've gone down.

And if you don't accept crawling out of it, well, then that's at your own detriment.

I just was reading somebody the other day said the moon is hollow and aliens put it there and they're watching us.

Then I'm watching a pretty well-known NFL player.

I'm not going to name because I just think he's also mentally challenged, talk about how the moon could not possibly emit its own light or couldn't reflect the light of the sun, that it's like a flashlight.

It must be turning itself on and off.

We went to the moon.

We saw it for ourselves.

Well, that's a whole other conspiracy.

Even Joe Rogan changed his mind on that one.

He was also a, it never happened.

And now he's like, well, it probably happened.

Yeah.

Yeah.

come on guys let's get it together that moon is hollow really is it made of cheese too is there a man on the moon with cheese in his eyeball come on guys get it together it's i mean i don't know what it's made of and i don't know who put it there and i don't know why it's there because none of us know because we weren't there when it happened But I'm pretty sure we would have figured out it's hollow and that there are aliens living in it and staring at it.

We've been staring at that moon for like 70 million years.

I mean, come on.

You don't think somebody would have figured it out by now?

You can look in a telescope and see the moon for yourself.

It's not that hard to figure out.

It's not a light bulb turning itself on and off.

That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my entire life.

It's a light bulb turning itself on and off.

Who do you think we are?

Jim Carrey in the movie, whatever that movie is?

Man on the...

What is that?

Oh, no, that was

the Truman show.

Yeah,

someone's just turning the lights on and off.

You think the sun turns itself on and off, too?

Come on.

And it seems stressful to me if you are believing all of these these things.

Like,

wow.

Yeah, you must really, really, really,

it must be hard just to live a normal life if everything is a grand conspiracy of something else.

I understand.

You want answers and the mind abhors a vacuum.

And that living on your own and watching

freedom news by the My Pillow Guy is 24 hours a day on a loop is really getting to you.

But please, take a break.

Go outside.

Take a walk.

Don't concern yourself with all the things that could possibly be.

Yeah.

Listen, a wise monk once said this.

We need like a little music.

I know.

We do need a music intro, but I'm going to make one.

A wise monk once said, you don't

worrying about things that may or may not happen is anxiety.

Right.

And stress is worrying about all, or fear is worrying about all the things that did happen.

You only have today, you only have right now.

Let's not concern ourselves with whether the moon moon is turning itself on or off.

Let's concern ourselves with being a good human being to those around us.

That's the only thing that we can control.

Just being a good human being, just trying to be nice to the next guy.

Try not to be an asshole.

And then you might say to yourself, Brian, but you're an asshole.

And I say, yes, but I have a podcast.

And that's what podcasts are made for.

Being an asshole.

That's right.

Thank God for podcasts.

It gives us up to assholes a place to go.

That's right.

But speaking of travel drama, I got very caught up in a, in a, in a very, a travel drama that happened to a young lady,

I don't know, a couple weeks ago, or maybe, I don't know, maybe this was last week or something.

Let me play the Instagram reel and I'll get you up to speed on what's going on, okay?

Okay.

Here we go.

Okay, so I'm recording this right now because we are on United Airlines going from Cico to Chicago and we booked these seats.

We're in first class.

We booked these seats very square.

And all of a sudden,

my fiancé just got engaged.

My fiancé just

got moved to coach.

They bumped him because they wanted a flight attendant to

not a flight attendant.

They wanted someone a part of the crew to sit in first class instead.

I understand that the crew works really hard.

However, we book these teams ahead of time and this is not fair.

This is not customer service.

I'm sorry, it's just not customer service.

Like, this is ridiculous.

What they're hiding, what you need.

Okay, so

what they're hiding is

a conspiracy.

Of course it is.

It's a conspiracy.

It's Joe Biden again, taking everybody's first-class seats and kicking them into coach.

Must be Bill Gates.

What they are,

what this poor girl, and then there's lots of follow-up information about this, but with this poor girl, what happened to this poor girl is her and her husband, they booked this trip, or her, her fiancé.

They booked this trip.

They just got engaged.

They're going to celebrate.

They booked this trip.

They book first-class tickets, business-class class tickets on this united airlines flight and when they get onto the plane the husband who happens to be in seat number whatever because the crew just decided seat number whatever is now going to be reserved for part of the crew part of the staff part of the airline my guess is could have been could have been an air marshal right last minute air marshal problem

or concern or needed an air marshal and that happened to be the seat they chose and the husband got put back in coach.

Now, there was some kind of recompense for this.

It wasn't like they just put him back in coach and said, sorry, shit out of luck.

Nope, no money, no ticky, no tacky.

He, there was some kind of reciprocation, like they got a free ticket or whatever.

Okay.

Free upgrades on the next flight or whatever happened.

But I agree with this young lady.

Like I have to agree with this young lady.

I bought it.

I bought it ahead of time.

I bought it so that I could sit next to my fiancé in business class, which is not cheap.

And we are celebrating something and I'd like to be with him.

And this poor girl was brought to tears because now she cannot sit next to him.

There is no choice.

There is no seat available in coach to sit next to him, even if she wanted to.

And now she's stuck all alone next to a stranger that she doesn't know.

And that's not the biggest part of the deal.

The biggest part of the deal is, is that United Airlines felt that they could just do this.

Now it's their plane.

They certainly have the right to do whatever.

And the law allows it.

If you can get bumped at any time for any reason, but this is happening to a lot

of people.

Yes, they are getting bumped from their flight.

We're back to oversold.

We're back to airlines paying thousands of dollars to get people out of their seats or just bumping them all together,

even if you have a reserve ticket or switching seats or whatever it is.

We're back to terrible customer service with most airlines.

Now, luckily, the only airline that I choose to ever fly on my own for any reason, there's a couple, but the one that I choose to fly on is Delta.

Yeah, I mean, Delta, I have never, ever had an issue with a Delta flight.

I've had cancellations.

I've had delays.

I've i've had problems with aircraft but i've never been bumped out of my seat and i've always gotten the seat that i had chosen at least i've always gotten that i know that's not everybody's delta experience um but and but united airlines is one of the other premium uh carriers out there and now i heard the united airlines ceo recently give a talk where he said the discount airlines are terrible and they were terrible from the beginning and they're even worse now and they're going to go out of business and i agree with him because they're not really really discount airlines, but this is not a discount airline.

This is United Airlines and you're flying business class.

You should be entitled to that seat, even if it's not on that plane.

You should be entitled to that seat.

You should be entitled to some option to get together in a business class seat on another flight that same day or in the same manner that you were going to be accustomed to

in a short period of time.

And even if that's another airline altogether, because that's just not fair.

I mean, it doesn't matter matter what they're allowed to do.

It's just not fair.

It's not good customer service.

And I feel really bad for that girl.

I really do.

She seemed very upset that she was going to be alone during this flight.

Is it the worst thing that ever happened?

No.

Can you make it through?

Of course.

Are you going to survive?

No one's dying.

It's just a seat change, but it's kind of shitty.

I would feel bad about this too.

I agree.

I mean, I don't know what happened with that.

I mean, and do we really know all of the things that surrounded it?

We just know that he was asked to move, that he was told to move, that they needed the seat for something and that he needed to move, but that it was someone crew-related, United Airlines-related.

My suspicion is, and this is just a suspicion, is that this was an air marshal.

And air marshals fly on a lot of flights.

They don't tell you how many flights, but some people have estimated up to 70% of domestic flights and maybe 90% of international flights.

There are air marshals.

There are tens of thousands of flights every day in and out of the United States, into and out of those.

There are a lot of air marshals, and they're there to keep everybody safe.

And they don't announce themselves.

They never will unless something bad happens, and then you'll see them.

But they need to be there.

However,

kicking someone out of their seat to get an air marshal on there shouldn't be part of the program.

Those seats should be just always reserved for an air marshal.

And I thought that that's how it worked.

There was always just one seat on the plane that we reserved for the air marshal.

Well, I don't know why the air marshal had to have first.

Maybe they felt that that was the place he needed to be.

Maybe there was a reason why he needed to be there.

Exactly.

Maybe there was a person he needed to sit near just in case.

I don't know.

But what a shitty thing to do, United Airlines.

I'm glad that I'm glad that she got there and that there's something happened for them.

But at the same time, in that moment, that would feel terrible to me too.

Astern and I have had to sit in different places on airplanes before.

Me too.

It's happened.

I just had to do it coming back from Memphis because we flight was canceled and we were on standby.

And I was like, we were like, give us whatever seats you got.

Yeah.

Hey, listen,

in certain situations, you just got to take what you can get.

In certain situations, that's her doesn't even want to sit next to me.

Yeah.

So it's kind of like she chose that seat.

Sometimes we go to the airport and I'm like, okay, what seat you got?

And she's like, 21A.

And I'm like, okay, well, I got 27B.

And she's like, oh, I don't know how that happened.

Yep.

But you got the kids, right?

Yes, I do.

They're all in 27.

I don't know what happened.

Airline mistake.

As a matter of fact, that's happened the last six flights we've taken to Europe.

We don't fly business class, though.

That's the only difference.

Business class.

I can't afford that.

That's crazy.

I've flown business class before, but only because I managed to grab an incredible discount.

And I tell you, the first time that I ever went to go see Astrid in Europe when she had moved to Switzerland and she was in Spain for the holidays.

And so it's our first year together.

We've been together like six or seven months.

I show up to the airport, nighttime flight, as they often are, over to Europe, taking Delta.

And I get to the gate relatively early.

I'm there like 30, 40 minutes before we even start boarding.

So I'm sitting near the,

I'm sitting right near the desk, thank you.

The desk.

Yeah.

Where?

Those fucking kids, I swear to God.

That's wrong.

They took my megaphone.

I wanted my megaphone.

They did.

They did.

I see it, but I'm not going to go grab it.

It's going to bore everybody.

But you know what the good news is, Chrissy?

Oh, i see it now too yeah i see it

all the way across the room yeah they took it those little rap scallions

those little rap scallions rap scallions oh no i don't even have it on there the rap scallions are all in trouble all of them anyway i'm sitting there and i'm waiting we're all you know i'm waiting to wait to board and i'm in the back of the plane in coach

And all of a sudden, the lady comes on in that terrible, awful little microphone that they're still using at the airports.

I don't know why they can't just upgrade that system to something you can hear.

But anyway,

and I'm like,

I don't understand that.

She said something about Charles de Gaulle.

That's where I'm going.

That's where I was flying into.

Five minutes later.

And I was like,

she says, upgrade available.

And then a third time.

I thought,

I'll create the first class for $100.

Thank you.

And I'm like,

let me go up there.

And I go, did you say something about an upgrade available?

And she goes, yep, we have like 10 first class seats, business class seats available, $100.

And I was like, $100?

Wow.

And she was like, $100.

And she goes, $100.

And I go, really?

$100?

And she goes, $75.

And I was like, $75?

Yes, I'll take that.

And she was like, okay, swipes my credit card.

And then I have a business class seat.

Nice.

All of a sudden.

So, my very first trip across the pond, I got to take it in style.

And ever since then, I have longed.

Yes.

I have longed for sitting in a first class class.

I know.

I've, on rare occasions, been in first class too, and it's so nice.

Amazeballs.

I'm laid out.

I'm watching TV.

They're pampering me.

They're fluffing me up and turning on softcore porn form.

I mean, it's just a lovely experience.

They're pouring champagne in your mouth.

It's a lovely experience.

But unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen to me because now I have eight people to pay for.

And that doesn't include if we have in-laws coming with us, if we have 40 people with us.

But anyway, you know, when you book a flight like that, you just expect that certain things are going to happen.

These inalienable, non-legal rights.

It's not like you you put a labooboo in your house and Satan has the legal right to your house anymore.

But it is kind of a social contract that you make with an airline when you pay for the seat.

I would have said, okay,

I understand something's going on here.

Can you take us off this flight and put us on another flight in business class together within a reasonable amount of time and refund us some portion of that ticket?

And that's it.

Because

now that all the cancellations are happening, all the delays, all the things, there's a strike at Charles de Gaulle or whatever's going on, shit's getting hairy and crazy again, as it always does around the holiday time.

Let's just admit it.

And planes are falling out of the sky and half of them don't have wings and doors are flying off and people are jumping out of airplanes.

All this crazy shit that's going on in the airlines.

Let's not let us go back to like 19 or to 2007 when it was just madness and everyone was getting kicked off flights and your seat was already booked and all this other stuff.

Let's not go back there.

Let's not allow the airlines to go back there.

So United,

I'm not even, I don't want to talk to Delta because Delta, you're doing a fine job, but United, one of the few regular airlines we still have available to us, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta.

Can we all just agree?

that when we have a problem, we do the right thing immediately.

Not like after someone puts together a social media post that goes viral, but like right then, just do the right thing, offer the right thing.

Let the poor girl sit next to the guy she just got engaged to.

They're not going to want to be next to each other for too much longer.

So let's let them have their moment in the sun.

Do you know what I'm saying, Chrissy?

Yeah, just love.

That's it.

Yeah.

So we started the show with one of my favorite sound bites that we've made this year, in this season, and that is 5:30.

5:30.

Because if you remember, I went over to my mom's for Easter.

I went over to the Happy Hills home for crazy people.

And we were in the common area, the common recreation area.

And there was a guy sitting there staring.

We were the only ones in there, my mom and my kids.

And then all of a sudden, some guy was just sitting there staring at everybody and he started answering questions we weren't asking.

Like, you know, 5:30,

cheeseburger.

Yeah, there was like a mention of death.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chicken fed steam.

Chicken pot pie.

Chicken pot pie.

And we were like, oh, okay.

All right.

Buddy.

Okay.

Sounds good.

Fresh flowers on Tuesday.

And I love, I love remembering that moment because it really did happen like that.

That guy's, that was his voice.

And I thought to myself, that's the most unique voice I've ever heard.

And the way he's saying things is just crazy funny.

However, he's got a doppelganger out there on the internet.

Really?

And he appeared on my social media because I just have the weirdest fucking algorithm ever created.

It's a mix of like pastors and religiosity and crazy people.

Light language.

Yeah, light language.

Most of the people that come up on my reels, like when I'm scrolling on reels, they have like less than five views.

I mean, honestly, I get like the most random of randoms.

But this guy is a sales consultant and he has the voice of the guy that was in the recreation home.

He was in the retirement house.

Either he's doing the best impression of the guy from the recreation room, or he, I don't even know what to say.

He's the guy.

He must be the guy.

So, without any delay, I'd like to take a break.

And we get back.

I want to let you listen to what this guy in the recreation room sounded like by way of this sales consultant.

The sales consultant.

Sales consultant.

Okay.

Sales consultants on Instagram

are a dime a dozen, I've learned.

All from Paul, the guy, you know, hee hee hee!

Yes, I love that guy.

Yeah, that guy's great.

We should go back to him.

We need to.

But honestly, he gave some good advice compared to most of the people that are out there giving sales advice.

And I found a new one, Chrissy.

Let's get to it.

We'll take a break.

We'll be back.

You'll make this rather snappy, won't you?

Somebody can be thinking to do before 10 o'clock.

Hi, cats and kittens.

Rachel here.

Do you ever get the urge to speak endlessly into the void like Brian?

Well, I've got just the place for you to do that.

212-433-3TCB.

That's 212-433-3822.

Feel free to call and yell all you want.

Tell Brian I need a race.

Compliment Chrissy's innate ability to put up with all his shenanigans.

Or tell us a little story.

The juicier, the better, by the way.

We'd love to hear your voice because Lord knows we're done listening to ourselves.

You know, it's been pork chop day for a long time.

I got to ask Rachel to free cups.

It's been pork chop day for like six months.

Good for Axel.

That's all I got to say.

All right.

Okay.

Back in Easter, I told a story.

And I was talking about the guy in the recreation room at my mom's place when he was, when we were talking, she was asking the kids to stay for dinner, which I wanted to avoid at all costs because they're just so disastrous.

And those old people don't take kindly to kids running up and down the fucking tables at that time.

My mom thinks it's great.

And everyone else in the place looks at me with disdain.

And there was a guy in the corner, not that old, probably in his 60s.

And he was answering, he was like responding to my mom.

She was like, God, can't the kids stay for dinner?

And he was like, dinner at 5:30.

And I was like, okay, great.

And so it was like, this guy, my mom, the kids against me.

Well,

I wish I could find that guy and have him repeat that voice.

But in lieu of that, I found another guy who has the same voice.

You ready?

I'm ready.

Okay, here we go.

The third key to success as an entrepreneur is organization.

That's logistics, protocol, processes, and structure.

Please hop on my calendar to learn more.

Wow.

It's the same guy.

All right, let's see.

He's got another one here.

Oh, look at here.

He's shirtless.

Oh.

You keep on getting all these certifications to show that you're an expert.

Nobody gives a fucking shit about your dumbass certifications other than stupid people like you.

Please hop in my calendar to learn more.

Please don't calm down.

You're stupid as shit.

Please hop in my calendar.

To learn more.

I can help you sell more.

Look at my beard.

It says respectable sales guy.

530.

Yeah, nothing says great sales trainer like shirtless.

Yeah, you got us on a beach with a fedora.

With a fedora and a beard that I don't even know how you grow that.

No.

Who grows that kind of beard?

Hugh Jackman for the Nothing X X-Men?

I mean, honestly, that is a Wolverine beard if I've ever seen one.

It's weird.

Okay, here he is again.

I got a number of these videos.

Do you want to get input from a bunch of very kind,

funny, intellectual multi-millionaires?

I run a productivity and accountability pod every Friday, 90 minutes.

It's $300 a month.

The information is in the description below.

Wow.

He's got a multi-million dollar piece of the podcast.

He's got friends

that do a pod.

Multi-millionaire.

Welcome to my multi-millionaire pod.

Here you will learn accountability and why your certifications fucking suck.

Jump in my calendar for more information.

But it's 30 is the time when I trim my beard.

Nothing says multi-millionaire like a tie-dye poster.

In the back.

In the back of your...

Right above your head.

Yeah, in the back of your Ikea furniture.

I mean, listen, he's making a living.

No knock on that.

You got to give it to him.

He's out there.

He's hustling.

He's doing his thing.

I give it to you, brother.

God bless you.

$300 a month.

That's expensive.

$300 a month.

It's $3,600 a year to join my pod full of millionaires.

Did you jump on his calendar?

Of course I did.

I just wanted to record his voice.

Listen, I don't need any sales training.

It's not what I do.

But can you do me a favor and tell me what time it is?

5:30.

530 530

yeah look at this guy he is a one of a kind i we should call him and ask for some sales training because i think we need it

i think so too we're gonna need to sell something eventually on this stupid podcast

i love it and

here's my question

At what level of sales

are you

that you're like not paying, you know, $50,000 for like Brian Tracy sales training.

Like, Brian Tracy is like kind of known as like the god of consultative sales.

Brian Tracy is the master.

Everybody, I think, would roundly agree that Brian Tracy is kind of like a requisite sales training that you should take.

I remember reading some of his books.

Oh, yeah.

I remember that the first sales training I ever did when I first got into my first like office job, Rafa handed me this, the Brian Tracy method.

And it was like 12 tapes.

Yeah, 12 tapes and a bunch of books.

And I went through it every morning.

I'd listen to another tape, listen to another tape, and it gives you an idea of what it takes to be a consultative salesperson.

That means you're not transactionally selling.

You're not selling widgets or, you know, you're not in a Best Buy selling phones or whatever it is.

You're consulting with someone to figure out what their needs are and then how to negotiate with them back and forth and what negotiation really is and the mind tricks that people play with in negotiation, all that stuff.

It's like a really solid introduction to sales.

But at what level of sales are you?

That this guy becomes the answer.

Do you know what I'm saying?

What are you selling?

Like

mosquito services for your back end?

Something needed certification with something you don't need certification with because book your certifications.

No one cares.

Get in my calendar.

Let's listen to another one.

Here he is.

He's got a nice color shirt.

I'll give him that.

I offer a 30-minute complimentary conversation.

I will not try to sell you anything.

I will add massive value to your life and business.

My calendar is in the description below.

Please have my calendar to learn more.

His face changes too.

I know.

He starts yelling and then he's like,

Yeah, well, I wonder what that means.

I offer a 30-minute complimentary podcast.

I will not try and sell you anything.

I will laugh.

I will add no value to your life whatsoever.

You will have to listen to commercials.

Get in my calendar.

A 30-minute conversation for free where you're not going to try and sell me anything.

You're going to add value.

You're a sales consultant.

What else are you going to do on that 30-minute phone call?

You're going to try and sell me nothing?

Really?

Is that the truth?

I don't believe it.

This is why this guy rings a little bit insincere.

Let's not mention the shtick that he's got.

And listen, everybody's got a shtick online.

We got a shtick on this show.

Doesn't work very well.

I'm wondering if his does either.

But here's his shtick.

His shtick is, let me yell at you so I get your attention right off the, oh, right off the rip.

Let me yell at you and then kindly tell you where to go to use my products and services.

I am a sales consultant.

I will add massive value to your life, but I'm not being honest with you right from the moment that I meet you on that, which is, I am going to sell you something.

I do want your money.

I need your money.

And that's where Brian Tracy would tell this guy he's wrong.

He should say, he should say,

I need your money to change out my tie-dye poster.

Get on my calendar.

I offer a 30-minute

pressure-filled phone call to use my services.

Get in my calendar.

Yeah, he should be up front.

He should be up front.

He did in the other one.

He said it was $300 to get that.

That's odd.

Well, that's what I like.

I like to know what I'm getting myself into.

$300 right off the git.

There you go.

You know, our friend Allison Hare,

who should be credited to some degree with getting the commercial break its legs, its original legs.

What I mean by, yeah.

What I mean by that is that Astrid encouraged me to do a VOD cast, if you want to call it, like a video vlog show on YouTube.

I didn't love that.

I didn't love looking at myself in the camera.

I didn't like being in camera.

And then Astrid said, well, you should do a podcast.

But a couple of months later, it wasn't until a couple of months later when Allison Hare, who had been doing a podcast for about six or seven months before we started, put together a like a group of people, like a launch program, where she would teach you all the things you needed to know about starting,

naming.

It was like a little incubator.

Yeah, like a little incubator.

And then all the technical aspects about getting the podcast out the door.

I joined that.

It was like six weeks long.

I faithfully attended.

I did the homework.

I did the things.

We worked as a group together to encourage each other.

And then out of that comes the commercial break that you hear now, right?

Or this version of the commercial break.

Allison still does that.

She's still out there doing podcast launching and podcast coaches and podcast incubators and all of that.

As a matter of fact, that's what she does now, right?

Full-time.

What I like about Allison when she puts together a whatever, a podcast about her podcast launch program, a real, a whatever, is that she adds the value right there.

She tells you

how, or excuse me, she tells you why and she tells you what, and then she asks you to join her for the how.

part of it, which I think is the best way to do that.

Tell somebody, I'm going to charge you for my valuable knowledge, but here's a little tidbit so that you can understand whether or not this is the right service or program for you.

If our friend here, Hugh Hackman, would in fact start off with that, give us a little nugget of information, a little tidbit of information, something we could sink our teeth into beforehand, then I think I would trust him that if I was in the market for a sales consultant, that would be good.

Again, I don't know who needs his services.

What are you selling if this is it door-to-door bible sales yeah i mean there's so many types of sales it's true it's really true i have a friend who's selling um

solar panels right now and he is the perfect guy he is the perfect guy for solar panel sales you know uh who's the the guy in fast times at ridgemount high

the sean penn player right um whatever his name is yeah i can't think of it they They call him Bender.

Is it Bender?

No.

Okay.

Don't know his name.

Likowski or something.

No, no.

Nope.

It starts with a P.

Pa.

Yeah, look it up.

We got to look it up.

People are yelling.

By the way, we're going to get seven text messages.

You know what I love about you, the audience, the listeners?

Do you know what I love about you?

I'm going to share this with you right now.

And I love, love, love this.

And Allison is one of these people.

When you're listening to our show and Christy and I get stuck in a a moment,

spicoli, spicoli, when we are in a moment like this and we're stuck or we're saying something wrong or we can't get it right or we don't remember the name or whatever it is, you, the listener, will stream of consciousness text us the answer while you're listening as if we were right here waiting for the answer from you.

Like it was live.

I love it.

I love it.

It makes me laugh every time I get such a kick out of it.

And it happens more than I'd like to admit.

People, because sometimes I'll pick up the phone and it'll be like, um,

Bill Murray wasn't in Ghostbusters 2, or Bruce Willis started moonlighting because of this.

Yeah.

And I'll look at the phone and I'll go, well, that's a weird text message to get.

And then I'll have to remember

you and I were struggling to remember the answer to this.

And they were listening to the episode and texted us in that moment.

Do that more often because it really makes me happy very much.

So Spiccoli is this character in Fast Times at Ridgemount High.

And my friend is Spikoli from Fast Times at Ridgemount High.

That's who he is.

He is the exact same personality,

stoned and everything.

He is the perfect guy to go out and give sell you solar panels because mainly because he's not the one actually attaching them to your roof.

But then, additionally, he just knows his shit, but he's got this like weird way of selling it.

Like, he's the kind of guy you would, a crunchy dude that you would expect to be selling you solar panels.

He has no sales technique whatsoever, except to show up at your door and befriend you you and then explain to you why you need solar panels god who's still going door-to-door that's that's kind of dangerous now i totally agree with you especially when you're doing something as divisive as saving the earth with solar panels i mean it really is yeah i had a door-to-door bible salesman the new door-to-door vacuum cleaner is the roof people and they are ballsy they come to our house once every other week.

Somebody knocks on our door.

Really?

I can get you a new free roof with your insurance company.

Your roof needs to be replaced.

I can do it tomorrow.

I've got a crew on standby.

I was driving by.

I mean, they're ballsy and they won't stop ringing your doorbell.

If they see a car out front, they just keep ringing the doorbell.

Wow.

They're so desperate to sell me a roof and I don't need a roof.

I just replaced a roof like nine years ago.

I don't need a new roof.

I imagine I can get 20 years out of it.

They're so desperate to sell it and they have zero.

sales.

Maybe they are the ones who need this guy.

Maybe.

Because it's just, they just approach it all wrong.

Did you know your roof needs to be replaced?

I don't think it does.

I just replaced it nine years ago.

Oh, who replaced it?

What does it matter who replaced it?

Right?

They're going to knock it off.

Yes, my buddy Jose replaced.

What do you need to know?

I don't know.

Why does it matter?

Because if you didn't replace it, because if they didn't use the, you know, the potty technique, the potty technique, what's that?

Overlapping, underlapping, overlapping below under, you know, whatever, then you're going to have damage on your, you know, the under your roofing.

And I don't see any water in my house.

Oh, you don't?

No.

Oh, well, you will.

Okay.

Let's scare me into a new roof.

Oh, it's good.

Sounds great.

Yeah, sounds good.

Meanwhile, I got Pizza Hut.

I got my, I got one of my kids is drinking bleach right now because she thinks that's soda pop.

Can I let you go?

Is that all right?

One of my 13 children is currently setting the house on fire while you're trying to scare me into a new roof.

Do you mind if I go?

Is that okay?

Anyway, those are the people that need this guy's help

because, you know, he also also has a reel that I didn't collect, but he's got a reel

where he says,

all y'all in my comments talking about what an idiot I am.

Meanwhile, I sold, I made $453,000

today alone.

And it's like, oh, you did?

With the tie-dye poster or without the tie-dye poster and the Zoom phone call.

I'm not knocking him.

He's out there.

He's doing it.

Anybody who's hustling for a living gets my respect.

That's all I got to say.

However, that is the voice.

That is 5:30.

That guy.

That is that guy.

That is his voice.

And I just wanted you to hear it.

I would like for those two to talk to each other and see that.

Oh, God.

My mom doesn't even remember who he was.

And we suspect maybe he wasn't anybody.

He was just a dude who was there visiting or came in off the streets.

I mean, there is absolutely no security in that place.

People could just be walking in and out, taking packages, eating free ice cream, sitting down for dinner.

There's no, there's nobody checking anything there.

I mean, I think they pretty much think that, like, you know, it's older folks.

So, what could possibly go wrong?

But a lot could go wrong, actually.

Yeah, 530 dude could be in there just, you know,

rampaging.

He could be having sex with all the women.

I mean, you never know.

I know.

Yeah, those places, you really can just come in and out.

Yeah.

There's like a guest book that I remember I had to sign for my grandfather's, but like, if you don't sign it, half the time no one was there.

Yeah, if you don't.

that's right.

If you don't, if there's no guest book at my mom's place, and literally the doors just swing open.

Now they lock at 9.30.

They do at 9.

9.30.

But first of all, who decided 9.30 was the time when bad guys come?

Do you know what I'm saying?

Like, couldn't they come at 5.30?

Yeah, they ain't got any time.

They could come at 4.15.

Yeah, 9.30.

Like, that's a magical hour that nothing bad happens after, you know what I'm saying?

Nothing bad happens before 9.30.

Unless my parents were right, that nothing good happens before after 10 o'clock.

That's true.

Well, you know what?

That ended up being true.

So I'm just letting you know that.

Chrissy doesn't even go to bed till one in the morning.

Nope.

Nope.

All right.

We'll be back.

We'll be back.

Okay, you're probably wondering why I, Rachel, have taken over the voice duties at TCB.

Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC member NYSE SIPC.

Oh, well.

Well, okay.

No skin off my back.

You know the clickbait.

Yeah.

On the border is not the worst

food I've ever seen.

No, it's not.

There's one right there at Linux.

We were talking about

all these clickbaity articles.

You know,

massive food chain.

restaurant chain closes and then you it's a jazz which is in arizona

okay all right yeah in new mexico but on the backs of that we're just reading the breaking news that Phil McGraw's TV network, that was the anti-woke network that was going to stop the disease and pestilence coming through your television with woke networks in your children's faces all the time, that basically just played Dr.

Phil shows on reruns.

Yeah.

You know, because that's what my children should be watching.

It's bankrupt.

And I didn't know that it was being distributed by TBN, Trinity.

Trinity Broadcasting Network, which is, of course,

is a mega church offshoot.

It's a Christian broadcasting network.

Wow, did Dr.

Phil take a left-hand turn at Albuquerque?

Yeah, he did.

He really did.

I mean, there was a time when I think we all agreed Dr.

Phil was bringing

straight talk.

This is going to be a changing day in your life.

I want you to make friends with my friends at the Commercial Break.

Now, they paid us a lot of money to say these things, but you can go to youtube.com/slash the commercial break if you want to watch, and they fuck ghosts and talk to aliens and talk to aliens and generally have potty mouse they are woke

yes we are dr.

Phil yeah dr.

Phil oh I used to have

I don't think I have it in here anymore but I used to have the dr.

Phil ad oh yeah you had that in there I had it in there for a while all right okay a couple more uh things I wanted to get to uh last week I forgot to talk about mystery I said I teed up that I was going to talk about mystery in his new boot camps I'll get get to that in one second.

But another thing that I found interesting online I wanted to share with you.

Did you know you now can roll your dead ones around town and have mobile viewing services?

Oh my gosh.

Yes.

There is some wild shit happening in the

funeral industry.

One of the guys who got us onto Clubhouse, who started like on what was called Club Pod at the time, or what he was calling the largest podcast-related social audio club in the world, because it was the only podcast-related social audio club in the world.

One of the guys who started that, not going to name him, he also owned Podcast Magazine.

He left the podcast industry, he left us all high and dry, just took off one day.

And I think because everyone started to understand he probably wasn't all that he claimed to be.

He didn't have podcasts.

I mean, he didn't even have a podcast.

And Podcast Magazine, no one was asking for a magazine about podcasting, nor were we asking for the Casey Kasim-style top 100 podcasts that you could basically game by just putting, submitting your name over and over again.

Anyway, he left to start a funeral home.

Really?

Yes.

And now I recently saw that he left the funeral business to be a DJ.

The guy's 62 years old.

I mean, he's, this is the goofiest motherfucker I've ever met in my entire life.

Don't knock the hustle.

He's hustling.

And listen, I've had a lot of jobs too.

You know, I've changed industries

a lot.

I was working in commercial real estate before I had a podcast, a comedy podcast, nonetheless.

But this funeral home industry is wild.

And when he was doing videos about his funeral home, that was wild.

Then I've seen that in the African-American community, in the black community, it's becoming very popular to pose your loved ones the way that they used to be.

I saw that.

To be like they are alive during the wake, during the services.

So I have seen some crazy shit.

Like a guy on a motorcycle, eyes wide open.

You showed me that.

Yeah.

And then I've seen guy sitting next to his TV with his beer in his hand and smoking a cigarette.

The cigarette literally smoking.

Like they made it smoke.

They made the cigarette smoke.

Yes, they lit it.

It was smoking.

There's just the nuttiest stuff you've ever seen.

Guy who loved to play football in a football pose.

It's his real body.

They stuck a bunch of sticks in it to make him look that way.

It's like they Disney-fied.

They taxidermied him.

They taxidermied him.

It's insane.

It's insane.

Well, now we've taken this all to new levels.

At a new level.

At a new level, as you can

throw her old bones on in there and roll her around town.

Let everyone see her.

In a mobile viewing cart.

In a van.

In a van.

Let's take a listen to this commercial for the mobile viewing services.

Today is one of our mobile viewing services.

We just loaded the decedent and all of the equipment to prepare us for the service.

A lot of Whitney Houston's miss you like crazy.

Like wind beneath my wings.

No, it's miss you like crazy.

Miss you like crazy.

I miss you like crazy.

But the elevator version, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Meanwhile, we just loaded the decedent.

We just loaded the decedent.

Family shoes are mobile fueling service due to religious restrictions, funeral phobias,

financial hardships.

Funeral phobias and financial hardships.

Well, how much does this cost?

Yeah, amen.

First of all, second of all, if you have a phobia of funerals, what do you have of a dead person rolling up onto your front lawn?

Showing up in your garage.

They're in my carport now.

They're literally brought.

We brought them to you.

Yeah, we brought the fear to you.

Congratulations.

Did you see, too, it had like a case of water?

Yes, well, wait.

Hold on.

It gets mustard.

Like a little rug.

Yeah, this is the most normal part of this commercial.

Hold on.

And here we are, writing to the location in which the family had chosen and that we have approved.

yeah there needs to be approval yeah to approve the location arriving

we begin to park the vehicle there is a pile with a mercedes sprinter van yeah hey listen those mercedes sprinter vans they're not cheap and they're really cool aster and i have talked about getting one if this podcast ever makes safe money

scene is safe

here you have it

what if on the way you're involved in a wreck and yeah what happens if someone dies?

What happens if someone dies while you're showing dead people?

This is our final setup.

Since it's a little hot today, we made sure that the families are

well hydrated along with ourselves.

They just pulled up outside of a cemetery.

Yes, they just pulled up outside of a cemetery.

Well, I guess it's a short drive to throw them down in the ground, I guess.

Instead,

We make sure that the area is safe.

Oh my god.

They have a TV in the back playing doves flying through the air.

Meanwhile, the day is hot.

I can only imagine the smell in there.

They have water outside.

They put a picnic table outside of the water.

I'm so confused.

I am too.

Just take him to the cemetery.

Just go ahead and do graves, though.

Yeah, just go ahead and roll his old bones on there.

This is our final setup

it looks like a bachelorette

a bachelorette party yeah i bet they rent it out too yeah you know they do party bus yeah tuesday jerry was in here on

friday we're going to the strip club yeah

open casket yeah open casket at 90 degrees yeah it's hot enough to be passing out cold water but it's just fine for open casket

And this vehicle was not bought.

This vehicle was built by my husband.

This vehicle was not bought.

Of course it was bought.

What are you talking about?

It was built by the husband.

Still got the party seats in the backpack.

And the family is also in the house.

And the lights.

They got like the colored lights.

The colored lighting.

Yeah, that's...

I got that in

one of my cars, too.

Alongside of their loved one with a comfort snack video.

A couple of snacks.

Oh, yeah, Snacks.

Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Hey, you want some Lays?

Yeah, that's what they've got.

Little baggies.

Now, you have to imagine, it's a sprinter van, a black Mercedes sprinter van, door wide open, casket in the back, casket open,

and then a picnic table with a black tablecloth on top of it.

And there's some Lays and some water in like buckets you buy at Walmart.

Listen, before you go see Jerry, would you like some Cheetos and a sprite?

I know.

I'm picturing people like munching the chips as they're looking.

I love Jerry, but these Cheetos are really good.

Can you roll this van over to my house and be done?

I'm hungry.

Of course, we have to always.

Whoa!

Oh!

A girl just popped out of the bottom.

She's wearing a t-shirt.

I look who came to help.

So Kylie is serving today.

Because of the heat, we made her dress accordingly.

We made her dress in her stitch outfit?

Did you have like Mickey Mouse gloves on too well those were like uh plastic gloves but so okay you know for food safety but obviously they didn't buy them in child size so they'd look like Mickey Mouse gloves I mean it's all just like kind of crazy

the cemetery where the decedent will be laid to rest this is our mobile viewing service I mean I

I hate to knock it, but I also, because I imagine that a lot of people use it.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I got to imagine that people,

listen, they wouldn't have spent all that money on that van unless they did.

All right.

So if you need to.

Sure.

Hold on, because I guess you're taking away the funeral home.

You're just, it's just the home.

The funeral home is mobile.

The funeral home is mobile.

So when she says, because of financial constraints, she's really talking about her own financial constraints.

I don't have a building to put your loved one in.

But hey, listen,

necessity is the mother of invention.

Somebody wanted this.

That's true.

And now this is probably popular in multiple places.

And maybe it is convenient.

I don't know.

I guess that doesn't really matter where you view someone.

And I'm probably not.

I would rather do it in a funeral home, but you know, that's not me.

All right.

I was talking about Mystery last week.

Before we go, I was talking about Mystery last week.

He's got a boot camp.

He's on the move.

He's doing things.

You know,

I've been paying attention to these boot camps as they move across the world, which basically sounds like they rent

Airbnb and then they spend three or four days with three or four guys who are willing to pay $5,000 or $6,000 a piece to spend time with Mystery.

Pick up girls.

Yeah, but I don't even think they get.

I've listened to reviews about this and watch videos.

A lot of times they don't even get to the picking up girls part.

They just hang out with Mystery and his friends for a couple of days.

I think what it really is, it's about connection.

I think people are willing to pay for connection.

It doesn't matter if it's female or not.

Anyway, Mystery, we'll get to that next week because it's a little bit more of an in-depth video about the boot camps.

But I did want to share this.

We got a little bit of time.

Mystery recently was on a podcast or something, and they're talking about what should be the first or second date.

Where should you go?

What should you do?

So let's listen to Mystery's answer.

Here we go.

I avoid the coffee date.

I hate coffee date.

We learned it the hard way.

It makes me shit.

Avoid the coffee date.

Look how old he looks.

He's like 62 years old.

He looks

flavor saver still.

Still that stringy long hair.

It doesn't work.

It's too me against her.

She's on the other side of the table at the coffee shop.

Me against her.

Well, what are you supposed to be

at a table?

Are you playing Dungeons and Dragons?

What are we doing?

Yeah, you go to a coffee day.

That sounds pretty ambiguous.

Yeah.

I don't like, but at a table, any kind of table, even if you're in a regular restaurant, sit in a booth, sit on top of her, ask her to sit on your lap.

That way, it's you, it's you and her against somebody else.

Set up, it's not conducive to pickup.

Instead, I would invite them to tag along with some chores I have to do.

Nothing says first date like, I've got to run some errands.

Yeah, nothing says.

I wonder if you would come along, tag along.

Nothing says first date, like, I got to get my carbuncle shaved off at the

podiatrist.

You want to come along?

Got to do some banking.

I got to do some banking.

Some banking.

I got to do some banking

why don't you come with me my account's 300 in the negative do you have a hundred i can borrow yeah bring your checkbook i gotta do some banking some banking

who does banking anymore gotta pick up headshots i gotta pick up headshots okay all right uh pick up my new boots why don't you come tag along with me maybe you gotta pick up my new boots i feel like these are chores he actually has to do

there they are got some chores you want to take care of too you got some banking.

We can get it all done together.

Double banking?

You want to go Dutch on banking?

Or picking up my boots or my headshots?

You want to go on a double banking?

I still owe the photographer $500.

You want to go double Dutch?

Hopscotch on that?

Hopscotch.

You want to go hopscotch on banking?

On day two, you know?

Just hang out.

Rather than putting the dating frame on top of it, it feels too formal.

Yeah, he's giving advice that's gonna get no one laid ever.

I mean, honestly, dude, I gotta be-you don't invite someone to go do banking with you

until you're married, okay?

That's probably the best thing to do.

Even then, yeah, who's doing the banking?

No one's doing banking.

Do it on your phone.

If you still have to do banking, you're banking at the wrong bank.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Oh,

howdy, doo-dee.

Well, I will say it's an interesting world out there.

We've covered a lot today.

I think this might need to be a new segment that was like weird Instagram.

That's what I'm doing.

I've been collecting them, and so I figured out how I can like

pull Instagram reels.

Because before I was just able to talk about them, maybe play the audio for them, but now I can pull them down and we can watch them.

And you can see them on youtube.com slash the commercial break, but not on Dr.

Phil's network anymore.

No, I don't even know if he does a podcast anymore.

He used to have a pretty popular podcast.

Yeah.

But you know what this is?

This is a restructuring.

Dr.

Phil will be back.

Don't cry.

Don't sing.

Don't sing such a sad song for Dr.

Phil.

Yeah, he's not going away.

No, he's a billionaire.

That guy's a billionaire.

And like all other billionaires, that means he's bending the knee.

He's bending the knee.

Oh, Lord, what are we going to do?

You know what I'm thinking about?

We need to get that South Georgia Sean.

Down there to that Gator Traz or whatever it is and get him to start collecting those Gators around there

and let those poor folks out.

I mean, unbelievable.

We're punishing people by putting them in a serpentine-soaked Everglades.

Dr.

Phil does still have a podcast I'm looking at.

Oh, he does?

Uh-huh.

What's it called?

It's called the Dr.

Phil Podcast.

Okay.

And the last episode was Beyonce Wore a Shirt.

The Internet Lost Its Mind.

The Real Story with Dr.

Phil.

Oh, it's probably, she's probably a Satanist.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Dr.

Phil.

I'm mad I ever paid the guy to do anything, you know?

I'm mad.

But this is before we knew.

None of us knew.

He was just a shitty

daytime television guy when we did that.

It was like one of our first host read ads that we did.
