Never dated a hot guy who I who I felt like respect for.

Yeah. On this episode of the commercial break, I don't force women into giving me a blowjob before my sermon. I ask politely.

They do it for God.

They do it for Jesus.

That's right. They're feminine. This.

That's my D for Jesus.

I got my d up on the cross.

That's what the cross is. Just two dicks.

I'm sacrificing my D just like the Lord sacrificed himself. Something's got to give, and it's my dick.

Thanks. A baby.

That's right. I believe in feminism. The next episode of the commercial break starts yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is the person voted most likely to hate my voice. Christina, our executive editor. Best to you, Christina.

Best to you, Brian.

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Yes. Our good friend Hodley, the person who normally sits in this chair, I must remind you, is out temporarily while she deals with a family issue. We're sending all the love and healing over their way. And I know that she is eager to get back in the chair. Yes, she heard your voice and she called me immediately. Does that mean my paycheck is going somewhere? And I was like, Paycheck. What paycheck are you talking about? Make any fucking money on this show? You're the only one that gets paid here, Christina.

Love that for me.

Love that for you, too. So, yes, to all of the people who first of all, we had a couple comments about you on the show, all positive. I think that was a good sign. So you accepted the second invitation. We'll see how this one goes.

I'll take it.

The nature of the TCB audience is fickle, so we'll have to see what happens.

Hopefully people don't hate me as much as I hate everyone. On hinge.

I just found that to be so fascinating. I was just on the phone with Chrissy, and she had listened to the episode, some of the episode, and she was like, aren't you so glad we're not single anymore? And I was like, I am so glad we're not single anymore.

It's not good.

I felt excited to be single when I was single. I never felt like anything was wrong or I was lonely. But I realize now how greener the pastures are when, I mean, in my opinion, in my perspective, when there's just some like, as far as relationships are concerned, when there's some long term stability there, it does feel good. Like, I don't think I was missing anything when I was single. I wasn't like, yeah, I didn't have a broken leg or a broken heart. But I do enjoy, quite frankly, waking up and knowing that I have a supportive partner.

Yeah, I mean, there are definitely our days where I'm like, nobody loves me. Everybody hates me. And that's why I eat worms.

That's why I kick dirt.

It's really hard sometimes.

You're fine. You're going to find the one. I have full confidence.

I'm cool and chill.

You're also just a child.

I'm just a little.

You're just a little. That's what one of my daughters says. Some days she's little, some days she's big. It depends on what she wants from us.

Yeah, I get that.

Sometimes she's like, I'm a baby still. And I'm like you are. And then other times she's like, I'm big. I can do that. I can watch. Scream four, daddy. No, you cannot.

I get that. She's an icon.

She is.

Yeah.

Who? My daughter. Yes.

Truly relatable.

She's already had four outfit changes today.

Same.

She does costume changes throughout the day.

So do I.

Really do. Do you? Yeah.

I can't help it.

Me, too. My wife hates it. It drives her crazy. I don't wear one T shirt a day. I wear four T shirts a day, and I don't know why.

Sometimes it's just like I'm uncomfortable all of a sudden, and I need to change.

I get an itch in my Snitch, and I have to go find another T shirt to wear. Oh, wow. But people enjoyed you on the so. And then many people saying that, asking about Hodley, and she is fine. Everything is okay between Hodley and I, between the show, and I with Chrissy. She's okay physically and mentally. I think she's just dealing with some stuff emotionally, like every family goes through. And we wish her well. We wish Papa Joe well, too, who is sick and in the hospital right now and in hospice. She told me that I could share that information. The iconic Papa Joe, who at 82 years old when I first met him, I walked into a Christmas party that he was throwing. He worked down at the Georgia Farmers Market.

Okay.

And he was like a purveyor there. But he had worked there for so long that he was, like, the custodian of the Georgia Farmers Market and the international man of mystery. A playboy of epic proportions, a legendary Coxman. And so Chrissy invites me. We're just newly friends. We've been friends for, like, six or eight months. She invites me to come to this Christmas party that he is throwing for the workers of this oh, my God. Christina, when I tell you this, I say this without a bit of irony, sarcasm, or indulgence. When I walked in, he was 82 years old. He was on the dance floor running circles around people half his age, and he was dancing with a woman who was so spectacularly gorgeous, probably 30 years younger than he was. And she wasn't doing this to pacify Papa Joe. They ended up dating. They ended up being a couple for a long time. And I just was mesmerized, by the way, that he could navigate through a room without a bit of chauvinism without a bit of without being patronizing. He was just one of those guys that he is one of those guys that you just felt his presence.

No matter where you go, you were better for having met him. And so we love him very much. He is in his 90s. So this is what happens. This is what happens for sure.

Fucking sucks.

Fucking sucks, man. So Christina and I were just talking about this. I want you to share this information with the listener. Christina was explaining to me when we were testing the microphones that what's her name? Ariana Grande. She talks in a high toned voice that is absolutely obnoxious for a reason. I'm saying it's obnoxious, not Christina.

Yeah. I love Ari. I'm not going to lie.

I love just I think that that.

Voice that she yeah, so, like, you can tell, obviously in the past when she was on shows and stuff, she would use well, before her character had that voice, she would use this normal speaking voice. And if I'm speaking to you right now just like this, that's normal. But she uses this affectation where you sort of raise your voice a little bit and you don't really use you.

Don'T use any tone.

Talk just a little bit higher up and it sounds so stupid. But you talk like this. It's a little bit softer and it's supposed to be a lot better for your vocal cords. So she sounds like an idiot baby.

She does sound idiot, baby. You know what else? So I never knew this until you told me this, but I know that there are legendary singers protect their voices in legendary ways. I think Whitney Houston demanded that it be a certain humidity in the room and it had to be a certain temperature in the room so that she could sing appropriately. Celine Dion is notorious for being fickle and finicky about the conditions around her with her voice. And she doesn't talk if it's too dry. If it's too dry right up, yes. How does she talk? She's a French Canadian.

I don't think I could do a Celine Dion impression.

I have to tell you this, and I'm sure this is going to be no surprise to the listeners here because I'm not a legendary Coxman, but sometimes I have this music playlist on YouTube and sometimes I'll play it when I'm sitting here on the computer and I'm doing something. The videos that go back and forth. I had this video of Celine Dion performing all by myself in Canada in this auditorium. And then she's like, lifted up on this platform, 50ft above the stage, all by myself. I don't know what it is about that fucking song and that performs, but.

It gets me every time you cry.

I don't know, chills. Like the goose pimples. I get chills. I don't know.

Reminds me of Bridget Jones's Diary. My life is iconic scene and I'm like, yeah, that's me. That's me, man. She's, like, drinking a bottle of wine and she's alone on New Year's Eve or something. And I'm like, that's me.

But no longer are you alone. You get to listen to my voice for editing purposes.

I love my job.

I find it really interesting that Ariana Grande protects her voice in that manner because it really does make her sound like a little bit of a baby.

Yeah, it's a weird little baby voice. A weird little affectation. As baby Dante, I will say that.

Oh, baby dante.

Baby Dante. That's not baby Dante, but that's a good one too. Hi, I'm Eric Grande. I appreciate you coming to my concert. I have helium in the room to protect my voice. I now like to sing all my songs in the register of A minus.

So stupid.

I mean, she does hit those whistle tones. You got to say.

It's a little weird, isn't it?

It's weird, but God, it's amazing.

It is amazing.

I always see her in concert once.

And I was did you?

Blown away. Yeah.

Does she do, like, a lot of concerts?

I'm not she had, like, a huge tour. I don't know. It was, like the sweetener thank you. Next tour. That's what I went to. Okay. I don't think she's toured since then.

Did you read about how Miley Cyrus was saying that her Wrecking ball tour she had to pay for all by herself and she lost a bunch of money?

I did not hear that.

It's a very interesting read. If you get a chance, Google it. It was, like, a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it made big news, but she explained that no one would back her tour for I guess that.

Kind of makes sense. She was in her Bangers era.

Yeah, bangers tour. That's right.

It was a weird time.

Yeah. She was fucking a lot of things on stage.

She does switch genres like a boss. I think that is so sick that she switches genres all the time. Like, her rock album, she's got obviously, country. She's got, like, pop. She's got it all.

I think the one thing that I really appreciate about Miley Cyrus and I consider myself a Miley Cyrus fan oh, okay. Because I'm way too old. I love that.

It's me.

The one thing that I really appreciate about Miley Cyrus because I'm way too old to have liked her during whatever that show was on Disney.

Oh, yeah. Hannah Montana.

I knew about Hannah Montana, but did not know Miley Cyrus was Hannah Montana for years. The one thing that I'm sorry, I didn't what do you expect out of me?

So embarrassing.

All right, it's embarrassing, but it's the truth. I mean, Hannah Montana I was, like, in my late teens when Hannah Montana came out. So I wouldn't have been in.

No, you weren't. You were, like, 30.

I don't know if I was that.

In my early teens.

You're in your early teens? Yeah, when Hannah Montana yeah, you were.

Like twelve in middle school.

Okay, so maybe I was in my 20s when Hannah Montana was out.

Okay. Brian's trying to pretend that he's young and cool. Next thing you know, he's going to be like, I'm a gen z. I.

Just admitted that I like Celine Dion all by myself and that I like Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande.

The chameleon.

Yeah. I'm definitely not trying to pretend I'm young and cool. I'm old and out of it. One of the things that I just love about Miley Cyrus that I think is so enduring is her absolute credibility. She is herself, and she doesn't give any fucks. She does what she wants to do. She is who she is. She is constantly evolving. She is a badass bitch who just owns her own personality. And I think that is very attractive in it. In humans in general, when I see someone that owns who they are, all the quirkiness, all the weirdness, all the outlandishness, when I see someone that owns that I may not necessarily like their music or appreciate their art, but I do appreciate them being who they are. Holding that unlike Ron DeSantis.

Waiting for that one.

You're waiting for that one? You'd like that? Smooth.

I felt it.

I call that a segue there, Christina.

Wow. The terms of the biz.

The terms of the biz. Segue. Celebrity entertainment.

Brian.

Brian. Hollywood entertainment. Jazz hands. You sent me this article, I immediately went down the rabbit hole. Let's take the politics completely out of it, right? Ron DeSantis is a class A ass hat of a human. I can't stand the guy. I just can't stand him.

Terrible.

I think he's a real fucking shithead. I don't think he's a Republican. I don't think he's a Democrat.

I think he's a fool.

Yeah, he's a fool. And he's like a mini dictator. Just he has such Napoleon complex. And now it makes absolute sense.

Now we now we get it.

So for those of you that may not have gone down the same rabbit hole that Christina and I happen to be in, the word on the street is Ron DeSantis uses platform shoes, which is platforms in his shoes lifts, which is why he is always wearing those stupid fucking cowboy boots that tilt up at the know. There's like, little elf shoes.

I look so dumb.

Have you seen the video of the Awoxa singers in Mexico that wear the.

Shoes that look like I don't picture it.

Yeah, but imagine it way exaggerated.

Yes.

Like, imagine a shoe that is elongated at the toe, curls upward.

It's giving Buddy the Elf it's giving.

Buddy the Elf vibes. But it is really a fashion statement for some of these mariachi bands down in Mexico. Ron DeSantis is like his shoes are a little bit less dramatic than that, but not by much. No, not really?

When he stands in that shoe, it literally looks like he's got a crick in his leg. Because that's his heel.

That's his heel.

He's, like, sliding down into the shoe boot.

Yes.

Because he's on his little tippy toes just trying to be a bag man.

I can't believe this. But now it all makes sense as to why he walks so weird, why he stands so weird, why those boots are always kicked out. In a weird way, it all makes sense. Why you never see him in shorts even though he lives down in like it's all making sense right now. Ron DeSantis. And the question is, after reading this extensive article that someone wrote about why Ron DeSantis is actually wearing platform shoes.

20 TikToks about it.

Chris.

I'm obsessed.

I'm obsessed, too. Some guy wrote, like, a 10,000 word essay making his point, proving it with pictures, making drawings.

Don't you love the modern media?

I hate the modern media, but that's how I make my living. So I guess I should appreciate it in some sense, maybe a little. Ron DeSantis is wearing platform shoes. There is no doubt in my mind. They are specially made for him. So now here's my question.

Okay.

Is he five nine with shoes, five three without? Or is he five nine in real life? Six two or three with platform shoes?

We need to get some side by sides going.

I know. We need to understand this.

Compare him to someone who doesn't wear lifts, who we know doesn't wear lifts because they don't need to.

They were comparing him to Donald Trump.

In this, but we don't know if we can trust if he does or does not wear lifts. I guess he's quite a tall man, but Donald Trump? Yeah, I wouldn't put it past him to wear no lifts because he's probably, like, makes me intimidated.

I got to get me some platform shoes.

Yeah.

I can't even do a Trump. No. I've purposely stayed away from it.

That's fair.

That's a George W. Bush voice, I think. Gotta get me some platform shoes. Hey, Donald, let's go down to.

The.

Bootery, to the leathery, and we'll get ourselves some platform shoes. Oh, man. So there's a side by side reference with Donald, and Ron DeSantis does not look he looks shorter, but not that dramatically shorter. Like, if you're six four and five nine, there's going to be a huge difference between the two people. Yeah, it does not look all that different in the pictures. It looks like there's probably donald has three or four inches on him, not almost a foot.

So we'll guess he's, like, 5859-5859 and just wearing really tall lifts.

Are you one of these people who has to have a relationship with someone that's taller or shorter than you? No. I always find no.

Although ridiculous. I did call five six twerps. I did talk about five six twerps on the last episode. I was on but that being said, no, I have dated or had liaisons with young, not younger men. Well, no, liar. Shorter men.

Shorter men and younger men.

A little bit of a little column. A little column B.

What is the youngest person you have dated, like, age wise? What's the age gap?

Well, okay, you've got to remember, I'm fairly young. Okay. The worst gap was, like, four and a half years younger than that's.

Not bad.

Yeah. But at the time, it was, like, 22 and 28. Oh, yeah, that's 28.

That's a whole scene.

I can't do math.

22 and 26.

22 and 26. Yeah, that's a whole and then I quickly turned 27, and I was like, oh, my God, this is horrible.

I am dating the most immature man in where?

No, it was bad.

It was bad. It was bad because men's brains don't stop growing till we're 37 years old.

Rumor has it he's still working on that brain.

Rumor has it.

I wouldn't know.

He's still eating cereal in his boxer shorts and forgetting to clean up his toilet seat.

Definitely. Oh, God, that's so embarrassing for me.

I never understood why people had such a big deal about height differences until I dated someone that was much taller than me, and then I can understand. Yeah, I dated a woman, and I'm 510 and a half ish change. I'm not the tallest guy in the room. I'm not the shortest guy in the room. I'm kind of average, I think. But I dated someone that was six one.

Okay.

And then when she wore heels, which she liked to do, she would be six three. So, I mean, she was very tall. And it's not that I felt emasculated. It's that it felt weird to always look up at somebody. I guess that was the weird part for me.

I guess I wear heels a lot. I wear platforms a lot as well, me and Ron, and I wear platform Doc Martin's a lot. And I feel like you would hate that for me because you went through such a Martin phase, but I love them.

I love Doc Martin, but I'm always.

Like, six foot in. I kind of I love it. I love the power.

You like being taller than the people in the room. You like being able to see over.

I feel in charge.

Yeah.

And I feel like it's also kind of hilarious when you're with a five, eight man and it's just like face to breast. I'm like, you know what? Good for you, sir.

Good for you.

He's like, I'm having this is the best day of my life. Face full of like, look at this.

Face full of goodies.

Good for you, buddy.

This episode is brought to you by regain couples therapy by BetterHelp when someone is asking for relationship help or advice, and someone else replies, making a relationship work takes hard work. I'm not even sure what that really means. You can go with all the low hanging fruit, date night, scheduled intimate time, put the screens down, get a babysitter so you can get away from the kids for a couple of days. But I recall asking my father one time for some relationship advice, and his response surprised me. It was just four words go to couples therapy. It was the best advice I could have ever received.

And thank you to Regain Couples Therapy by BetterHelp for being a sponsor of the commercial break. When you look at the most successful people in the world, a lot of them are tall. And I feel like Elon Musk, donald Trump, like him or don't like him, he's done some things in his life, right? You can go on and on. I think Steve Jobs was notoriously tall. I think there's lots of tall people. Howard taylor Swift. Taylor Swift, Howard Stern. You look at the entertainment industry, there's a lot of tall people and a lot of short people, I guess, too. Tom Cruise. Five four.

Sorry, I'm not a Tom Cruise.

Five, four and scientologist.

And he was with Nicole Kidman, who.

Is like five foot ten.

Five foot eleven, yeah.

There's something about being tall, I think that puts a certain perspective. You get a certain perspective that does make you feel in charge.

Yeah.

And therefore you're like a natural leader.

I think that's true.

People who are taller live shorter lives. Just remember that. So while I may not be as tall as Elon Musk, I am definitely more successful financially much better off.

I'm waiting for my $100,000 bonus. God damn it.

I'm not taylor swift. I'm not handing out $100,000 bonuses.

What's the point in working here?

I don't know if I'm being real honest. We're all still trying to figure that out.

Fine.

I'm sticking around for a little the ever shifting sands of time here at the commercial break. You just look at people who are tall and you sense that they have an advantage in life. They know things.

Yeah, that's me.

The weather is different up there.

Call me big brain.

Tina, how tall are you without?

I'm only five nine. I'm not that tall.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. But I just seem tall, I think. I have got broad shoulders and tig old bitties, and people are just like, wow.

You just seem like you people feel like there's your presence when you walk in the room.

Damn, look at that hot ass beat.

Look at that hot bitch with big titties platform shoes and hot doc mar.

Look at those platform docs. She looks fucking fire.

A broken knee and one of the most successful executive editors ever. I can't bring your knee into it. You don't want to bring your knee into it.

I'm still restrengthening.

You're doing good. You don't walk with a GIMP most of the time.

This morning was a little rough.

PT is yeah, you'll get there. I just look at everybody who's tall, and I feel like they just have a different perspective on life. And I think that there's a bit of confidence that comes with being tall that can help you navigate your way through the world. When I worked in the real estate industry, a lot of the most successful developers were really tall or really short. One of the two really tall that.

Really shorts, like the oppenheimer the oppenheimer twins, the little bald ones, you know, selling sunset.

Selling sunset.

Do you not know about selling sunset?

I know about selling selling set. Is that those guys who sell all.

Those the two little bald twins who sell all the multi million dollar mansions? Are they little? Like actual little they're just they're just quite small. They're small men.

Yeah.

And they have this rack of women working for them who are all just like, stunning tall goddesses. Really. Now it's a TV show. They probably have like, six seasons now or something.

I don't know of selling sunset or of their own show.

Selling sunset, which is their show.

Well, I've seen selling sunset.

Oh.

But I can't remember the two bald twins.

Jason is one of oh, okay. And there's another one are we crushing.

Here on the show, on whoever his name is?

Maybe I am a little bit dude.

Tell me.

I don't know.

Some successful, if not short dude walks in, he's got a big old pocketbook. If you're selling sunset, you're a millionaire. If you're selling sunset and if you do your job halfway decently, you're a millionaire. You know how much money those guys make on each of those transactions? Millions and millions of dollars.

I would gladly be a little I wanted to say boy toy, but I'm.

Not a boy toy.

The girl toy, gladly.

I think that there is something there's something powerful about being tall. There's something motivating about being short, and that motivation is a chip on your shoulder. I think I work best when I have a chip on my shoulder. I know a lot of people who do this. They work better when they have a chip on their shoulder. They're under stress. They're backed into a corner. They have to fight their way out. And I think that when you're tall, you may feel like the world is your oyster. And when you're short, you may feel like, why the fuck did I get the short end of the stick? No pun intended. Pun intended. So I feel like that there is a lot of people who are successful tall, but then there's a lot of also short people who just work really hard, really hard, because they feel like they have to.

Yeah. It's funny, though, as a taller woman, I won't say tall, because I'm not, like, that tall.

You're kind of tall.

Yeah, but I don't want to take it away from the six foot bitches. They're my queens. They're my president. Sorry.

I love it.

There's something like, I've always wanted to be, like, a small, petite woman. I had always wanted that growing up. Like, I hated being tall, but my grandma is a very shout out to Granny. She's a very small pecan, and she always every time I'm around her, she goes, oh. She goes, I wish I was tall, because she'll be like, can you get that jar for me? Or whatever. She has a little spatula she uses to scoop them off the top shelf and toss them into her hand.

I love your grandma.

She's incredible. She's honestly incredible. I love her so much, so she's always given me a lot of confidence in being tall, but I feel like short people always want to be tall. Tall people always want to be short. It's just complicated.

I think you're 100% right. And I think my wife is my same height, and there's always been this discussion between the two of us when we're going somewhere, when we have to take pictures. She's really considerate. She's like, do you want me to wear heels? Should I wear heels, or should I not wear heels?

I would never do that.

I know you would never do that. That's why you and I aren't married. Well, that's one of the many reasons you and I aren't married. Not to mention we barely know each other outside of our professional relationship. That probably would stop.

That considerate.

But she's always considerate in that way. But I always of course I don't care. Honestly, I really don't. So I'm like, wear. The shoes. If they make you feel good. If you feel good in the shoes, wear the shoes. But I always have to prop myself up a little bit in the photos just so it doesn't look like I'm.

Going to get some lifts for Christmas.

You give me a pair of bright blue Doc Martens. We're talking like that color blue, like the background blue. You get me bright blue Doc Martens with lips. They may never come off my feet, just like they didn't for the first ten years of my adult existence.

I love that vision.

Christina, you are young, you're hip, you're in with the kids.

Sure.

You know how things go out there in the IRL. You're not on the Internets. You're out there amixed amongst the young folks.

Yes, I would say so.

And there's this, like I don't know how to say this without being a total asshole, so I'll just say, go off.

Be an asshole.

I feel like there is a push by some younger folks right now to really bring the world backwards when it comes to the female form. I really do. And I don't think I'm exaggerating this, because I'm out on the Internet all the time looking for this kind of content so that we can have it on the show. The show is subversive and it's satirical and all that stuff, but there seems to be a lot of women out there on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram that are romancing the time when women's place was in the home or the perceived woman's place was in the home, and that's fine. They want to live their lives like that, that's cool. I have no whatever you choose to do with your life, however you choose to live it, that's your personal choice. I have no say in it. I don't care for the way sometimes it's splayed out there. I feel like it's really counterproductive. In my opinion, it's counterproductive. And I know that you are one of these women that are trying to pull us back to the 1920s working.

You want to be a housewife, will marry rich.

That's why I think this often dude, these often twins.

The twins?

Yeah, the twins.

I can't remember their names, but I know that they're rich and bald.

You could be a thruffle and an instant reality celebrity if you would just get with those Oppen twins.

Let's be honest. I'd be amazing on reality television. I would start so many fights, because.

You know, reality television, really and before we forget, before we get to the meat and potatoes of the show, christina has her own podcast, which is part of the reason why she sounds so good behind the microphone is because she's been on the microphone many times before. So tell the folks, tell the good people at home about your podcast. Tell them where they can find it. Tell them where they can listen.

Okay, well, my podcast is called To All the rom coms we've loved before. I co host with Sarah Kelly. She's a comedian, really funny, an expert on, like she honestly knows so much about pop culture. I feel like such an idiot around her. She's amazing. So, yeah, we chat shit about romcoms. We get old ones, new ones, the ones that are Republican propaganda secretly. It's amazing. It's really fun.

You're also very soft spoken about your politics on the show.

Sorry.

It's a Republican beehive over there. It's like a conservative beehive over on your show. No, don't apologize for I am who I am.

You guys should know by now I'm.

Not going to change. No, but I do have to say this. I have listened to the show. I've listened to hours of the show, actually, and I find it to be really funny. And the banter, it's really good. You two are really good together.

Thanks.

You have a similar, if not more sparky, like more sparky back and forth going on between the two of you. But I feel like it's a lot like the commercial break in the sense that it's two friends that know each other well that are getting together to rib each other about certain things and talk over some material that can be really funny.

We might be a little spicier.

I think you're spicy.

A little spicier.

There's a lot of cussing that goes on that show. A lot of fucking cussing.

So much fucking cussing. I can't stop. I'm so bad.

I have to tone it down sometimes because I feel like I'm being so bad about my cussing, too. But you two take the cake. If you had a coin jar, we'd all be rich, right?

It just doesn't even cross my mind anymore.

Why the fuck would it? No one monitors these podcasts. No one gives a shit.

I'm always like, who the fuck is listening to me about all this bullshit?

I don't know.

No one.

And they're funny. Go take a listen to the podcast one more time.

The name is to all the Rom coms we've loved before.

Okay, go check that out. So in an effort to jolt Christina out of her clearly backwards ideas about where women should be in this world right now, I thought I'd pull up some material that would let you know just how silly this all is. And of course, it comes from the right wing Christian nationalist groups. And God bless. God bless. God bless. So I don't give a shit what your personal political beliefs are. However, when I hate what I dislike with a passion is when people have completely asked backwards ideas that they push on other people in the service of religion.

That drives me fucking proselytizing for me.

Oh, God, Christina drives me crazy. Yes. Doing so much harm pisses me right off in the thought that they're doing anything good is just, like, beyond me. And one of the things that drives me a little bit baddie is when Christian men and women decide that they're going to use the Bible to figure out how to continue this incredible chauvinism into 2023. It's insane. So without further ado, I was trolling on the Internet, as you do as I do like to do. Oh, look, you stepped right in there. We didn't even practice that. We have reviewed some of this material before, Chrissy and I have, but I found a new couple that I'd certainly like to review who are talking about a Christian woman's place in the home. Even Blue's upset about this. If you can hear in the background that's episode number 412 out of 413 that Blue's been in. Just letting you know. All right, let's take a listen to these two ding dongs and see what they have to say about what God has to say about what a place and a woman's place is in the home.

We once heard an old preacher say, you want to know what the secret to a good marriage is? Yes, ma'am. And we were like, no. This is a huge idol in our culture. The whole thing of, like, pleasing your wife, being a servant to your.

Her.

Being nice to her, letting her out of the house every once in a while, not making her do every chore in the house, maybe saying hello to your own children every once in a while. Christina opinions are overrated. I've heard a lot of them from women, and I got to be honest.

Women don't know things.

If you only knew things, we're just stupid. If you could only come up with a good idea, then maybe I'd listen. But like I keep telling Acrid, I'm not sure what you just said because I wasn't listening.

And a lot of people say that, like, happy wife, happy life. A lot of this just comes down to our cultural frame of weak men and strong women.

This has nothing to do with weak men, strong women. This has to do with you twisting the Lord's word to make sure that your wife doesn't speak up at all so that you have an easy life, so you can whack off, eat cereal in your boxes on the couch, and not pay attention to your goddamn children.

Literally. He's like these women. They have opinions, and I hate that.

I am not about to listen to no woman tell me what to do.

I don't want you to be happy.

Yeah.

I want you to just shut up and stand there.

I'll tell you whose fault this is. Kamala Harris. It's Kamala.

Kamala.

Where did Kamala go?

This is the feminist dream. Feminism is not about equality between the sexes. It's about an inversion. So woman becoming men, and then libertarianism men becoming woman.

What in the good?

Believe me, buddy, that is not it.

That is not at all true. I think you got that all wrong there.

I do not want to become a.

Man you do not want to become a man. And libertarianism is not about men becoming women.

No, that's not the definition, bud.

Yeah. And some of those manly men, quote unquote that you know, that are world famous consider themselves libertarian. They are hardly shrinking violets. And I would argue that some of them do not see the point of view of a female. That's just what I would argue. I don't know them personally. I'm not trying to cast stones. I'm not saying any names, but this guy has it completely wrong. And I would argue I would argue, okay, that maybe somewhere on a corner of the Internet, there are always extremes in every one of these quote unquote groups, right? All these ideologies, all these religions, there's always extremes. You are an example of extreme Christian behavior. Right. But there are feminists and libertarians that take it to the extreme, but that is, by and large, not what's going on. What is going on is that maybe the girls just want to have a say in how their own lives are run.

We just want equal pay.

Yeah. A little bit of respect, control over our own bodies.

Yeah. Not this horrific power dynamic.

Yeah. It really sucks, man. It really sucks that you've been getting I don't even want to go through it. You know what? You're a jack hole. We already know it.

You heard a great word from Elizabeth.

Elliott talks about how the woman's role is to respond and how it's the man's role to initiate. And that is very clearly what God's design was for with Adam and Eve in the garden.

Very clearly. Didn't you read it? It's explicit in the text.

That's right, girl. That's right, girl. I don't know even I have to disagree with you here. It's me, Carl. Preacher from Hillsong church. Ex. Preacher from Hillsong church. And I just gotta let you know, girl, you're getting this completely wrong. What God said is, don't let Carl preach on a full dick. That's what Carl said. I don't force women into giving me a blowjob before my sermon. I ask politely.

They do it for God. They do it for Jesus.

That's right. They're feminists.

Ask my D for Jesus.

I got my D up on the cross.

That's what the cross is just two dicks.

I'm sacrificing my D just like the Lord sacrificed himself. Something's got to give, and it's my dick.

Thanks a baby.

That's right. I believe in feminism. Somehow I think that Carl might be more of a feminist than this guy is, genuinely. Yeah. I actually think Carl looks good compared to this guy. At least. At least Carl asked.

And did you see how this guy, he really led her up to that question too. He had to cut it so that he could tell her what to say.

That's right.

He's like, now it's your job is to respond. Please tell me what to say so I can respond.

I'm supposed to respond?

He's supposed to initiate.

What does initiate mean, I'm wondering.

Fuck no.

I bet one day in the life of these people is total hell. Total God arguing 24 hours a day.

And the sin came when Eve initiated and Adam responded.

And let's talk a magical fairy tale and let's wrap our whole lives around it.

Yeah. Why?

You know, it sounds completely plausible that.

Adam and Eve just onto something.

I know, silly.

We can see that today. That that is the main role, inversion of our culture.

It's our own lives that we've had to repent from and disciple out of our own upbringings in this culture, for me, taught to be passive, taught to be the nice guy. Just say yes to everyone, servant, leader, just be nice.

Just walk around, not punching women in the face for no reason. I'm just supposed to do that for no reason? That's not what the Lord said. Didn't you read Adam and Eve? Adam and Eve is not Adam and Steve. Okay? I learned this from my grandfather, who was a perfectly rational man. Killed all three of his wives. They weren't subservient.

I'm doing such an aggressive laugh today. I'm so sorry.

No, be aggressive. Laugh it out.

This guy, he's like, you know what, being nice really wasn't getting me laid, so I'm just going to start telling them what to do. They're like, oh, be the nice guy. Be the nice guy. I'm like, you can be the nice guy and still be a bit of a shit. And still people don't want to shag you and that's okay.

I am literally proof that you can be nice, still get your dick wet. You know what I'm saying, girl? Hey, who's that new girl in the chair? Brian. Oh, that's Christina. Delicious.

Gross.

Find her on Hinge. I'm not allowed on Hinge. The judge still? All right, I gotta go, guys. Bye. Don't worry, Christina, I'll drop some fat stacks on your mom's front porch.

Although I'll take the money.

Yeah, I'll take the money, too. Split it with me if he shows up.

You know, I hate interrupting Brian when he's yammering, but he's always yammering, so it's kind of my only option. Anyway, it is about that time for me to remind you to go to Tcbpodcast.com. Text us at eight five five, TCB 8383, and check out our socials at thecommercial Break on Instagram and at Tcbpodcast on TikTok. Go on, Brian needs this. And don't forget to go to Youtube.com, thecommercial Break for fully edited videos. I promise you're gonna love them. Also, it would mean the world to us if you'd support us by supporting our sponsors. So let's have a listen to them and then we'll get back to this episode of the commercial break.

To repent of that, because that's not good for my wife, that's not good for my mission, and likewise your me.

It's like, control the situation, make demands, be the one to initiate. That has been my experience. And that is what, as girls, we're pushed into through college, we're put into a position where that's how you have to survive is by take on the masculine being, the initiative person.

Where were you getting taught that? Well, I would have loved that.

They have to make a connection between the liberal college education that everybody argues about forcing you to be masculine and an idiot and all this other stuff. Teaching you to be an independent human being is not teaching you to be some radical feminist who can't look at men without heads popping off the shoulders. That's just teaching you how to be a human being, to ask for what you want, to initiate conversation. And, yes, demand sometimes that you be treated equally. It's not that big of a deal, dude. But the Adam and Eve story from the beginning, I think, sets it up, sets the entire rest of the Bible up for what's to come, which is complete domination by men and very little mention of women except for Mary, who.

Fuck your brother's wife. That's cool.

That's cool. Don't worry about it.

Not a big deal.

Kill that guy who just touched the pigskin.

Kill him when you get married.

Yeah, so when we got married, yeah, kelly was very headstrong, very great editing.

Job here by these guys, by the way.

Great editing job, demanding, very initiative in the masculine role. And here's me, the nice, kind, passive guy, and it's like a lot of resentment starts building. She resents me because I'm not taking the lead. I'm not having a vision.

I resent her because sounds like he.

Was just a little bit of a lazy shit.

Yeah, it sounds like dude, you just.

Sounds like you just sucked. It sounds like you were just, like, a little bit nicer, did more things around the house, just in general. She'd probably like you more.

I cannot imagine the conversation that goes down between Astrid and I, where we identify our marriage, our troubled marriage, not that we have one, but we identify our imaginary troubled marriage as the problem being that Astrid is not submissive enough to me. I would argue the exact opposite. I would argue that Astrid should take more and keep us out of trouble.

Why won't you just relax?

Quit controlling things.

Controlling things. So it's like, oh, my gosh. We had to realize this is not God's way. God's way is I needed to repent, of being passive, of being a libertarian, of being well, she's her own woman. She can do what she wants as long as she's happy. It's like no, that's wrong.

That's wrong. You shouldn't have your own happiness.

Why does he keep saying libertarian?

That's not he doesn't understand what's going on.

You're really missing it there, buddy.

Feminism and libertarianism are two totally different ideological spins.

The libertarians I know are not that nice to women.

Well, listen, I agree with libertarianism. You do your thing, I'll do my thing, as long as we don't harm each other. That's kind of the basis of libertarianism. All the other extemporaneous bullshit that comes along with it, I think, is just like a newly found but you're attaching a meaning to libertarianism that's not at all true. Yeah, I don't think he gets it. Liberalism might be what you're trying to say.

I think that's what he's trying to say.

Yeah.

And I needed to repent of controlling and of being passive aggressive when I'm trying to control him into doing things instead of just praying for him.

So now the frame that we find.

Ourselves in praying for.

I pray that he starts doing the dishes.

I pray that it'll fix that freaking shelf.

I pray that Limb dick gets hard sometimes. I pray this viagra works.

That might be the big issue in this marriage.

You never know. Christina we have stranger videos than this.

Like, all right, Lord, what do you want us to do? And so for me, it's like, as a man, I have authority in the relationship of I am the one who's going to have to give account for what our marriage, for what our family, for what our life amounts to.

To who?

Because to who are you giving this account to? Are you giving, like, an actual account?

Like a bank account? Ryan to God.

God who has a penis, by the way.

We don't know that.

I was at a store the other day, I swear to God. Not the other day. This was a couple months ago, actually. I go to the store. There is a lady that's at the vegetable in the vegetable thing, and I'm trying to grab some vegetables or fruits or something. And so I said, Excuse me, ma'am, I just want to grab something in front of you. I'm just being trying to be polite, let her know I'm about to stick my hand in front of where she's at because she'd been standing there for a minute. And she goes, oh, no. God bless you, son. May you have a blessed day. And I go, I really do hope that God blesses the rest of my day. I really like her. That's what I said, right? I really like her.

I was like, okay. Yes.

I was just having a little fun, right? I said, I really like her. And she goes, did you just call God a she? And I go, I did. And she goes, that is not accurate. And I said, Because you know how and she goes, Because of the Bible. And I was like, well, the Bible has turned out to be mostly 100% accurate. And by the way, I don't think anybody ever mentions whether God has a penis or not.

Yeah.

So I was just having fun with it.

Kelly what she has to give an account for is, did she submit to me and did she pray for me, and did she honor me? Now, a lot of people are just their minds exploded. This my mind would have exploded at this, like, ten years ago, be like, oh, Scott, you misogynist. But it's like, no, he had to.

Put the gay affectation on that. Yeah.

There's a very real scriptural authority that if I just say, well, Lord, she's her own thing. What she and the devil do in the garden is up to her and the devil. I was.

If you would ask me ten years ago before I got brainwashed, I probably would have said, has skipped, dippis.

I feel like that's what people just say about me, just regularly. They're like, well, what you're doing with the devil, that's up to you. You and the devil.

That's my tagline. What Brian and the devil do is up to them asshole.

It's this woman you gave me, Lord, and that is what so many of us do. We abdicate, and we watch her eat the fruit of becoming a man, of becoming God. And we're like, well, let's see if she dies. And unfortunately, this goes, what in the.

Good fuck is this guy talking about? Let's see if she dies all the.

Way from family into institutions. Can a woman become a policeman? Can a woman become a boss babe? Can a woman become a pastor? Can a woman become a soldier? All of us guys, all of us fathers and brothers and husbands are just sitting by and being like, well, let's see. Because we're afraid. We're afraid of her being upset, because a woman gets all upset when I.

Go, this is misogyny of the most incredible type.

I'm just like, what the fuck?

I cannot believe that this guy is saying this, that a woman can't be a firefighter or a soldier or a boss babe. Or a boss babe. A boss babe.

It's like a boss babe. Speak for yourself.

Speak for yourself, dude. Wow.

This going through his head.

I want to know what happened to them in the last ten years that he went from, buddy, if we're going.

To talk about being the masculine, you might want to grow a full beard.

Yeah. And a full dick. Just want to go there. Just say it.

Okay, as long as you're happy. What'll make you happy? And it's like, that is bad fatherhood. That is bad husbandry.

Husbandry is when you have two cows fuck each other.

That's not the word.

This guy is totally off face.

The biggest issue here is just that you can't fix stupid, can you?

No, you can't. And he's proven it right now over and over again. And she's just sitting look at her eyes right now in this paused position. She's like, oh, God, just let me get through this video, and I promise I'll run away as fast as I.

Honestly, I'm like, imagining what kind of resentment is building up in her. Now, if she was mad at him for not doing the dishes.

Yes.

I'm like, imagine that over the years. What is going on in there?

Bubbling.

She must be having just the worst time. You're just being she gets in therapy, shit's going to hit the fan when.

They get a divorce. Not if they get a divorce. When they get a divorce and she eventually comes out of the cocoon and she goes to therapy to start to heal herself or yoga or whatever. When she meditates, she's going to start to realize what a terrible situation she was in because this guy is controlling her and using the Bible to do it, which is no different than someone using a rope to kidnap somebody. I mean, honestly, it isn't. You're brainwashing this poor girl, and you're brainwashed yourself. I don't know what you're thinking here. Dude.

Nuts. Absolutely.

Totally. We don't give in to our children's. Tantrums. And we don't give in to our wives tantrums.

Since when do I not give in to my children's tantrums? I give in every day to my children's tantrums.

And we don't give into our wives tantrums.

Wife's tantrums.

What about yours?

You're having one right now. You're literally having a conniption fit on this video.

Like, you forced her into this video. Now you're talking about this online, which is so embarrassing.

By the way, can I say this for those of you that aren't watching? This is two white, middle aged people sitting in front in their home in a living room type area in front of a brick fireplace. And I'm looking at the decoration in their home, and I'm wondering which 1970s design which person took the DeLorean back to 1970 to bring this stuff forward into their house? Because anytime you put a ladder as decoration in your home, but, like, with no blankets, no blankets, no towels, no.

Nothing on it, just a plain just a ladder.

Just going to prop this ladder up here. It looks good, doesn't it, hon? It's bad. This is what happens when the men make the decisions.

You're so right. Ugly house, ugly life.

If it was up to me, if I was to make all the design decisions in this house, it would literally look like this studio with Pearl Jam posters on the wall.

Not great.

That's not a good look.

I don't think you even realize that you have those traits until you get married, and then it's like a mirror, and you're like, oh, my gosh, I thought I've worked through so much, because I would say we did as singles. We did great.

We were sincere after the Lord.

Yeah. And then you get married sincere after the Lord. You guys were fucking like bunnies. Everything was great. You were a nice guy.

We were sincere after the Lord.

After the Lord.

Something I cannot say for myself.

I know. It just drives me so fucking crazy, so brainwashed.

And it's like, whoa, I have a lot of work to do. But it all comes down to doing things God's ways. When you do things.

Here's a terrible part about this. This woman seems relatively level headed and smart. Like she's well spoken. It seems like she would just be kicking ass and taking names if it wasn't for her husband. Absolutely smothering her.

Yeah, it seems like it.

And when you follow God's ways, there is a blessing to that. And we've talked about this often. Most of our arguments have come from an inversion of our roles.

Me being weak and not leading and.

When I'm reaching instead of responding.

And so a lot of people will be like, whoa, Scott, this is like you're saying your wife is upset and that you're the perfect it's like, no, you don't understand. It's all from me. It starts with the man. It starts with my frame. What?

That just really is fucking annoying. It does not start with you, you dipshit. You are just one person. Other people also exist.

But this is the frame of reference that some of these Christians and it's not just Christians there's lots of ideologies out there that have this same spin on it. And let me remind everybody, at least from my point of view, my perspective is that religion in and of itself not a bad thing. If it makes you happy, it makes you a better person. If it makes you feel more whatever. If it makes you feel better, awesome. I just think that the ideology and the dogma are two totally different things. And the dogma is what gets me. It's absolute brainwashing. You can't think for yourself. You have to use the words and twist them up. All these the Bible or whatever, the Torah, whatever it is that you're using to twist it all up, it gets all twisted up. And here what he just said is the root of all of the problems is that it all starts with the man or the priest or the pope or whatever. You cannot have a relationship with God on your own. You have to have a conduit. And in a marriage that conduit is the guy, is the man.

I don't understand. Why can't she have the same relationship? Why can't she initiate things?

It's just crazy. And it's like we know that having men in these religious positions of power has caused problems.

Yes.

And I'm not saying whatever it needs to switch around. I don't know. For me, again, I'm like, you do what you want to do, but if you are going to cause harm to people, then I am not about it. I'm not about it. Do not force anyone into your views. Don't do that. That's not cool.

Don't force anyone into your views and don't force your poor wife to sit there and in the corner on the couch for the rest of her life because you have heard, have taken, have read your scripture in a way that allows. You to basically kidnap someone's spirit. It's fucked up.

And it's like the thing is, if you are in a relationship and you want to have a little bit like, it sounds like it was very unequal before. If you want to have a little bit more of an equal relationship or change the give and take, like if you want to be a little bit more submissive, go for it. If that is what works for you and you both feel cared for and taken care of and whatever, that's great. But don't come out here on YouTube and put this shit out here being like, you need it all starts with me. And women just need to do what their husbands say. And that's in the Bible.

That's in the Bible.

I mean, it might not say explicitly, but I could tell. And also the Bible is it real? I don't know. It doesn't matter. But this is my world, and you're just living in it.

You're 100% right. Other dick humming, dick having human I know.

What if I just pretended? What if I put a little eggplant in my pants and went around and I was like, look, man, look, man. I'm actually a little dululu, and I feel like if I could pass for, like, a male country singer if I really wanted to no, I think I could voice.

You got a little bit of the voice, but your voice is a little.

I think I don't could I think I could do it.

All right. Say, like, two sentences in your country voice. I'm going to close.

I'll do a little Morgan Wallen here last night. Wait, we let the liquor talk. I think I could do it. Okay.

It's not bad. It's not bad. Maybe it's because you're sitting right in front of me that I can't totally get the vision out of my head. But you do.

And imagine my big old dick, too.

I know. Join us Monday when Christina comes in.

As a man, when I reveal my.

Big old when we have country singer.

Superstar Chris Chris holding for her to know. So there's this whole kind of idea of a man will provide a frame and a woman will fill it. And if there's no frame, then the woman goes into chaos. There's no boundaries, there's no strength, and there's anxiety.

I'm just going to say women are the ones providing the frame physically.

Yes.

And you're filling the frame, if you will.

That's what I'm talking about, girl. I knew I liked this Christina chick. Brian, keep her on the air. Hey, it's me, Carl, and I just wanted to say that's absolutely right, Christina. It says in the Bible, you provide the hole to the frame, and I shall fill it with the word and the semen of the Lord.

The word of the Lord.

Fill it with the wet word of the Lord.

That's all I got to say.

If there's a hole that needs filling. I find it.

Carl is on it.

Don't worry, girl, I got you covered. I'm going to fill every frame. You got that's right. Go empty that frame. I'll come back, I'll fill it again.

This guy's so barf.

What are we doing? And then that's why a woman gets into like, I'm going to reach, I'm going to provide frame. And then the guy is like, okay. It was actually a lot of hard work providing frame. I'll just fall into your frame. And so it's this thing that we're constantly having to repent of in our life, of like, it's not that she's evil or that I'm evil or like, oh, it's a terrible marriage or terrible partnership. Like, no. This is the struggle of our generation. This is the struggle of our culture, is weak men and strong women.

That is most definitely not the most worrisome thing about this culture in any way, shape or form. Let me go down the list. This is what keeps me up at night. When I think about my ten to twelve children, some of them having to be vagina, having humans, I am so worried that one of them is going to bring home a dipshit like this. And the more that I dislike him, the more that she'll like him.

OOH, that's concerning.

Yeah, that's concerning.

We'll get Chrissy on the case.

If Chrissy can just talk to my daughters, I mean, I think my wife can probably have that conversation too.

But then if Astra hates him too.

Then it's going to be two against one.

Yeah. So you got to get Chrissy to be, like, the cool aunt I know.

Anytime that my dad said something to me, I did the exact fucking opposite. Then 28 years later, I woke up one morning and said to myself, my dad was fucking right about everything. Every single fucking thing.

I'm not there yet.

Yeah, don't worry about it. Still a baby. You're going to wake up 35 and you're going to go, my parents were always right because I don't know, for some reason, parents are always right.

Yeah, I guess.

Well, listen to the wet noodle and his wife. Congratulations on your happy. This seems like very constructive marriage you have going on there. I'm glad I'm not your neighbor.

God, they'd be so annoying about trees and stuff.

Oh, God. Yeah. If I tried to take down a tree, say, repent, repent, hot neighbor. I thought I'd come over and ask you if you wanted to come to church with us this morning. No, I've got to stick some hot needles in my eye, but try me again next Sunday. Thanks very much. I appreciate it. No, I'd rather be kidnapped. I appreciate it, though. Thanks, Tcvpodcast.com.

So that's my personal opinion, mainly because I decided on what the next sticker was going to be. But if you want your sticker, hit the drop down menu.

I want my sticker. Six two six, ask TCB three. That's six two six, ask TCB three. Questions, comments, concerns, content, ideas. Leave us a voicemail we may play on air at the commercial break on Instagram, Youtube.com, Slash thecommercial Break and TCB podcast on TikTok. Okay, Christina, that's all I can do for today, but I will say best to you.

Best to you and best you out.

There in the podcast universe. Until next time, Christina and I will say we do say and we must say goodbye.

Jam it.

I take a dick and keep on licking.
