That's a virtue, brother. Because these holes out here are low. They just stayed working for three.

They never realized this. They all sold Jesus. They just stayed working for free. For free, for free, for what? Father, that claim Jesus, Father's name. W.S. State Chat, he will be back after this commercial break. On this episode of the commercial break. Oh my God, are we going into this?

Is this the... is this the student Is this turned into Dr. Phil? Yes, just, just, just, well, okay, you want to go there real quick. Let's go there real quick. You want to turn into Dr. Phil? How about Jenny Jones? You worked at Jenny Jones? Oh my god, okay.

I have done my homework. I'm not allowed to see that because of that age of me. My god, you could have been 18 when you did Jenny Jones. Yeah, but you know what, yesterday when you were like, hey, is there anything off limits? I should have been like my age. My age? It's an off limits.

Break, I wanna get back to one question. I ask her, I can do this. When you and I work together, can we call it preparation age? Yes. Yes, we can call it whatever you want. Preparation age, fluffing, I don't care. Whatever you wanna call it preparation H? Yes! Yes, we can call it whatever you want. Preparation H? Fluffing?

I don't care. Whatever you want to call it, you can call it. I'm going to go fluff Oscar up you right back. I love that! I'm going to go fluffing Oscar up that preparation H. Just for the tip. Whatever you want to call it Oscar up in. So here's the thing.

So I've noticed, Brian, is that I am good on a receiving end. He-he-he. He-he-he. Wait, what's a blouse? I'm good. What's a blouse? I'm a receiving. It's a feminine top.

Calm down. It's a feminine top. I'm good. On a receiving end, but I'm not sometimes always good on the other, also for all the game, and out there calm down, because I know you're... Alright, yeah. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Oh!

Oh! That's dolphin for a club! Somebody told me you were locked out of your house, Mrs. Crabbit. I am. How many keyholes do you have? I have two. No. Nays three keyholes.

Let me get on it, Mrs. Crabbit. The continuation of Brian's Thesbianic porn series. Yes. Here in the commercial break porn studios. That's how we make extra money. That's how you shh. Shhh. Quiet. I don't want the IRS to figure it out.

I'm Brian, this is Heldy Ann. Happy New Year. Welcome to the commercial break. We're back for another edition. I found out something interesting this morning. I thought you'd be, I thought you'd love to know this. What's that, Brian? The number one determining factor in whether or not

you make a connection with someone on Tinder is what? Now. I don't know if I thought you were gonna tell me. You used to be, you used to be looks, right? And that's what swipe right was looks. It's still a big part. That's the algorithm. I'm sure it's still a big part.

I'm sure it's, is right under the following factor. Your political affiliation. Oh, okay. Fucking figure that one out, right? But I guess it's true. Like if you were a hardcore, if you're a hardcore Republican, nah.

I was talking to a friend about this and I was like five years ago, six years ago, seven years ago, when I was single, I would not have given one shit. No, not a deal breaker. It wasn't a deal breaker to me. I mean, if you're a Republican,

okay, we don't see eye to eye on a few things, but I really wouldn't have been like, you know, at least until, at least until we slept together a couple few things, but I really wouldn't have been like, you know, at least until At least until we slept together a couple times and then I maybe wouldn't let you go But it would have at least gotten you through a couple of dates, right? But now you say hardcore Republican hardcore right when you extremist it I'm probably I'm out of here see you later Yeah, and so I can understand why so the good folks hit Tinder keeping us surprised of all the

Of how just how fucked up our nation has become. Thank you, Tinder. Wonderful. I mean, as if swiping right and left wasn't fucking up enough, they have to do that. Also in China, I've learned that they are now doing COVID-ass drive-through tests. Oh my god.

They are testing people. Drive-through. Drive-through. As soon as I get to stick grass out the window, thank you very much. J.B. I give a long poll and they just they have figured out that testing through your ass is the most effective way to figure out whether it's the most it's the quickest way to figure out

whether you have COVID. Okay, that's the rapid rapid. That's the rapid rapid rapid rapid rapid. Hey listen, they've been sticking their fingers up my ass for a long time and then they all of a sudden decided it wasn't a way to find out about prostate cancer. Go figure that one. They in Switzerland months ago they were testing the shit, like they were testing the water inside of the sewers to determine where the next outbreak was going to be and it was an incredibly effective way to do that in Switzerland kind of clamped down on their rising

COVID problem. So I guess up the ass is just the way to go. It's the quickest. Yeah, it seems like a messy affair on a drive-through test. I had my kids done. Maybe it's easy for the kids though, because I can, you know, well, temperature checks. Yeah, temperature checks are much easier up there, but then it is in there anywhere else. www.tcbpodcast.com is where you go to find out more information about Chrissy or I, you can view our entire library, listen to all the audio episodes and at the commercial break on the ever growing Instagram account. I think we're almost at 500. Nice.

I figured that's about a third. Yeah, one tenth of our audience has decided to take the jump. The plunge over to Instagram. Yes, we appreciate that one sound. And on the ever popular clubhouse at Ryan Green at TCB Chrissy, the commercial break club and the comedy podcast club. You can join that if you need an invitation. I got about a hundred of them so just hit me up.

And I think we're on Android now. So I don't, I mean, I don't know that for sure, but some people say it. So if you have Android and you want to try it out, I'll send you an invitation. And that is it. We're in here in the studio today recording speaking of Clubhouse. So let me take a minute to explain. So Clubhouse is such a fantastic application. We've talked about it a lot here on the show.

It's a social audio app. What does that mean? Well, it means, I don't know what it means, but that's what they call it. And basically you get on this application. It's like chat rooms. Yeah, like the 90s, like telephone chat rooms only. It's through your phone on an application

and there's some kind of management of how people have discussion, right? It's not just a total cluster of 30 people making, you know, horse noises over and shut there. And it doesn't cost $19.99 a minute. You go into specific rooms. You can go into specific rooms. You're invited to go talk. You don't have to talk if you don't want to.

No. You don't have to talk if you don't want to. Whatever floats your boat is probably there. And one of the things that I like to do is I like to run in and out of the comedy rooms because, you know, trying to be funny on the show. So I like hearing other comics and what they're up to. And during, it's perfect timing. Because during coronavirus,

all the comics have to go underground. They can't do their stand-up. And so they either have to do it on Instagram. And now Clubhouse, they've found a new place to live and breathe and find an audience. And so there are a couple of rooms, or there are a couple of clubs that are very popular on Clubhouse and I'm just a big fan of some of the comics that come up there. Our guest today is Oscar Aiden.

He's a New York-based comic. He's producing four shows and three burrows. He says his goal is to do five shows and five burrows. He is a wonderful human being and an ever brilliant personality. Welcome Oscar Aiden to the show. Oscar, how are you? Oh my gosh, can you, can you? Follow you around.

All of that. You just said. Can you take all of that what you just said and send it to my parents? Oh, yes. Is that. How do you, what? Where are you from?

Like, oh, I know, I've done a little research on you. Where are you from? Where are your parents from? done a little research on you. Where are you from? Where are your parents from? Oh my God. Are we going into this? Is this, is this, is this, is this turned into Dr. Phil? Yes, just, just, just, well, okay, you want to go there real quick. Let's go there real quick.

You want to turn into Dr. Phil? How about Jenny Jones? You worked at Jenny Jones? Oh my God. Okay. I have done my homework. I have done my homework. I'm not allowed to see that because of that teacher.

Me. Me. You could have been 18 when you did Jenny Jones. Okay, I have done my homework not allowed to see that because You could have been 18 when you did Jenny Jones Yeah, but you know what yesterday when you were like hey, is there anything off limits? I should have been like my age I'll cut this part out of the show I'm Editorial control I'm keeping this in the show. Editorial could show. I actually did. I worked at Jenny Jones when I was like, you know, just a freshman baby.

High school. Just a young to live right out of high school. What was it like working at Jenny Jones show? My God, it was hysterical. It was absolutely hysterical. So I did audience warm up for them. Wow. It was, yeah, I did audience warm up ish for them. And then also I was on the show actually a few times. Oh, yeah. What are you playing apart? Yeah, so it was one of those, I was in drag where it was like your hot, but not hot,

or like you think you're hot, but you're not that hot. Or so one of the really awful branded episodes that they do. Like the clickbait, early clickbait, yeah. They just say something ridiculous and try and follow through on it. Yeah. Right, and so like I would be there

and I would judge them and be like, uh-oh, girlfriend. I was so confused. Look back and I'm like, oh, God. Like, I was the reason for reality TV. I'm just like, oh, no. Jenny Jones. For those that don't know for it, and we do,

we might have some younger listeners. We do have some younger listeners. For those of you who don't know, it's like a precursor to, I don't know. Dr. Phil Jerry Springer of all of it. Jenny Jones was like, I think she was angling to be Oprah at the time and then she kinda went the other direction and just had it fun.

Yeah, they all do. They figured out they can't be Oprah and they all are like, all right, let's go to the trash. Yeah. Well, what an experience to have at a young age. So then when do you make the decision you want to be a comic? Is that how you already there? Gosh, let's see.

So going back to the question that you asked me, Brian, is that I am from Chicago. I actually, I studied a very prestigious school. I studied at Columbia. Holding. Cheers. Yeah, college in Chicago. So it was very amazing.

Looks and brails. I would like to say that because people are like Columbia in New York and I'm like, no college in Chicago. Because, I mean, it is, it's the college for performing arts people who are awful at everything else. Like my science class was the science of chocolate and candy. I just knew how I was. I love that.

I love the dumb I was. I had to like, they're be like, okay, so how is chocolate made of? Like, oh god, this is too complicated. I can see the professor like, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie roll? role and the Oscars like I'll figure this one out. I can answer that one. Um, but no, I, uh, what was the question? You grew up in Chicago.

Your parents like I know you're you can get HD. You're getting HD. So sorry. Your parents. Where are they? Like where are they from? Are what is your answer? My mother's Norwegian.

My father's Turkish. You're... I grew up in the outskirts of Chicago. I know, you know? People that? Because you always like, oh, I grew up in Rockburn, and they're like, what shit hole place is that? I'm like, why are you growing up in Chicago?

I say the same thing. No, but I'm not a shit hole. I'm sorry. Rockburn's not a shit hole. I can't say that. It was definitely a city that I was excited to get out. Let's just say. Mm-hmm.

Listen, I tell people the same thing. I was born in Oak Forest, Illinois, but I was born in the Pailer's Heights Hospital, which is the Chicago hospital. So I always say Chicago, because trying to explain to someone that you're actually not from the city of Chicago, it's just a lot cooler to say that's your first Chicago.

And also, then people understand geographically where you're talking about because no one knows what the fuck Oak Forest Illinois is. A rock for Illinois. Atlanta kind of is very spread out too, so if you said Oh, my brother in-law says not Chicago. Chicago is a much, like Chicago is a much cooler city. So your dad is Turkish. How do you end up in New York? So you grew up in Chicago and then- Yeah, the thing is, you have a Brian, the thing is, when it comes to Chicago,

people always think that Chicago is four streets. And like Chicago is not four streets. It's much bigger. In an entire area, but they're like, oh, four streets, those four streets. I'm like, no, no problem, those four streets. Those four streets are business. And most of that is whack or drive.

Like, that's true. That's not Chicago. It's not at all. Oh, yeah. We think of like, I mean, it's like people think of LA and they think of, you know, Beverly Hills or rodeo drive,

but LA is a fucking incredibly large city and it's not, you know, rodeo drive and Beverly Hills. It's so much more than that. Chicago, you're right, is the same way. And I heard an interesting line. I think it was on a West Wing episode where the president at the time who his martin's sheen goes, he goes, I keep on hearing about Chicago

and then I have to get there and how amazing the city is. And I hear it from all the people who still do don't live in Chicago anymore. And it's so true. But I think Chicago is a wonderful city. I would never live there again. It's too fucking cold for my taste. And it's just a big hairy city. So Chicago, go ahead.

Well, here's the thing though, Brian. I mean, like, if you look at it, like Chicago is a great city for people that want to raise kids in a big city feel. Agreed. They still want that Midwest, like that Midwest environment and a big city feel. So you're getting the best of both worlds, right? And I think Chicago is a great city. I, you know, I went to college there. I worked extensively in so many places when I was in college. I think I had like 14 jobs in the span of three months. And, you know, it's a great place to live. But I probably would not go back just because it's so cold. However, I will say this, Chicago is an easier city to get around the United States than New

York. Yeah, I feel like I love New York. I love New York, but anytime I think about myself living there with my family and my children, it's a big fucking NO because it's such a beast of a city. And I know so many people that get eaten alive by the city. They go from Atlanta or wherever they're from and they say, I'm gonna move to New York. I can make it there, I can make it anywhere.

And they go there and they're there for like six months and then they come back home because I feel like it just takes a certain type of personality to really make it in a city like New York. It's the biggest of the big, it's the baddest of the bad. It's a beautiful, wonderful city to visit. But for most people, you should not even entertain the idea of living there. How do you feel about New York living there?

Well, here's the thing. If you're going to make it in New York City, the only way that you can do it is if you throw your hat up in the air when you arrive, like Mary Tyler. Exactly. You have to do that. If you don't, then obviously you're not going to make it here. But New York is great, but it's exhausting to live in. I mean, it's a city of what?

700,000 million people, and you can feel alone by yourself one day walking down the street. And so it's a great city, but it's one that you have to hustle. Like, you have to know how to hustle, and you have to know how to hustle and you have to want the hustle. If you don't want the hustle and if you don't want that, all right. I guess you can come here and not if you have a good job and you have good... If you're rich, then you don't have to. Yeah.

But if you don't have a good job and you don't have good credit, like 95% of the people in New York cities, no, I shouldn't say that. A lot of people do have good jobs. But if they just have shitty credit. Amazing 800 credit, then it's like, you know, it's like, you know, that's a little bit like I, you know, okay, maybe I'm making generalizations. I don't know, but.

We're a show full of generalizations, so please continue. Yeah. Okay, great. Now, New York City is a great city. You want to come and you want, and you have a dream, but I mean, there's reality versus expectation.

Correct. And I think, yeah. Now, here's the thing, I don't know what either of those words mean, but I hear a lot of people saying it, so I just repeat it. Well, like, for instance, I have a bunch of gratitude. Well, I just watched Sex in the City when I was younger. It was like, oh, yeah, I'm going to go up there.

It's going to be exactly like that. And, you know, it's not. No, it's not. No, there's nothing like this. I mean, that's the thing. Is it Sex and the City is an incredibly, you know, horrible portrayal of New York City, because everyone has wonderful, big, beautiful apartments.

They all run around as seemingly with no jobs, not ton of money. It's like, if you don't have those, could that kind of access, then you know, I think he's right, you have to hustle in that city to make it and you're probably living in a three foot by three foot apartment, taking public transportation everywhere you go, hoping that you can get groceries tomorrow. Oscar, what do you look for in a woman?

Oh, awkward. But can I just say something? Of course you can. I'm gonna say this as a gay man and this may trigger some people. Okay. And some people might have the need to cancel me and I don't know if that's necessary right now, but maybe we'll just take it as is. I have never seen an episode of Sex in the City.

Oh my God. It's okay. There it goes. There's always tomorrow. Every vision and thought I had of a gay man just out the window, all my gay friends, that's just unbelievable. You've never seen Sex in the City?

I'm a straight white man and I've seen Sex in the City. How have you missed an episode of Sex in the City? I don't, I can't get into it. I just can't get into it. Oh Oscar, we gotta talk. Okay. There's nothing good about it. There's, I don't know, maybe that's just me.

It's my opinion. Of course, there's a lot good about it. Fashion trends were set. You know, there was this whole dialogue about independent women. And I think that's great. I just was never a fan of the show. Yeah, no problem.

I'm a fan. Now, if we talk about the Golden Girls, I love the Golden Girls. I love the Golden Girls. I'm a Golden Girls fan. I've been ostracized. I've been ostracized. Gay ostracized.

God ostracized. He took away your card. I'm not a fan. Yeah add just add G to everything like GD HD Gaster sized, you know like all that I've been Gaster sized for not having seen sex in the city. It seems a little strange that you're a gay man and that you've never seen sex. It seems a little strange. Let me just take the gay out of it. It seems a little strange that you're a human

and never seen an episode of Sex in the City. I feel like that show is so incredibly popular. But I've never actually had the patience or the, like I've never had the desire to sit down and watch a full episode. I didn't make it through many of the episodes. Yeah. It's like Ina Gartner and Barefoot Contessa.

Great show. Can't listen to that fucking voice. Yeah, that's right. But you know what though? I'll fall asleep during it. Yeah, I can't do it. Like honestly, I love barefoot contest, but they should actually sell her voice as an audio book to put babies to sleep.

Right. So fucking monotone and... I didn't. She's like... She has great recipes though. I really could. What's her husband's name? Jeffrey.

Jeffrey. Jeffrey. Jeffrey. Do you want to know if I'm making Jeffrey's or my potatoes? It is like that. When I put melted cheese in it. What is she saying? I know I didn't make bonka.

I didn't make penny all about it. It's gonna be amazing. Do you want to know what? Cause I took Jeffrey to Italy once. And Italy. And then we come back. And it makes me make money all the time. And you're gonna love it, don't you?

He's got AMS, ASMR for Inaigarten. I feel like to bear with Kadeza. I feel like she lives in a world that no one lives in. You know what I'm saying? That's true. I had the Butler set up a table in the Shelle for 15 people. That's like, I would. Well, they're childless.

And she makes a bunch of money. What's the best cheese they've got? How much was the cheese? $1,000 tons. Yes, exactly. We love 7. Just throw some in there. I had it flown first class from Italy.

Yeah, first class from England. In UK and England. Yes, he did. It's Italian, is he? I'm the top one. Yeah, he's not. The cow drank champagne the entire entire life. That's how the cheese came out so wonderful Let's take a walk out to the chalé where I have where the napkins are gold plated

She's like, you know if you can't I love making breakfast with ostrich eggs and if you can't get ostrich eggs Your local supermarket From Amazon who the fuck orders ostrich eggs Living was so fucking try totally did not make my eggs with She can I ask a question? Do anybody know what she does for a living besides beyond TV because Because it seems like they have an incredible dick load of money. Yeah, no they do. So they're in the hampton.

The hampton, that's how she started. That's why she's always in these beautiful locations. That looks like she's in the hamptons because she's in the hamptons. Oh, barefoot contesta. Barefoot contesta. So that's where she, you know, and then, you know, obviously a lot of TV folk

like going out to the hampton. So I'm pretty sure an executive producer out They was like we should put you on TV and you know history was made The guy just wanted free cheese at barefoot contest It's a show that won't the austere jigs who the fuck gets austere jacks I mean to that sounds disgusting to me by the way That anybody who gets free food at her place is like winning the lottery, you know that anybody who gets free food at her place is like winning the lottery, you know. Yeah. That's, I'm gonna see you sell that.

That's what it is. Stern lives on the Hamptons. I wonder if he goes to Barefoot Contessa. I bet he doesn't even show his face half the places. Oscar, what has it been like? I ask her, I love that name. Well, what has it been like for a comic in New York City during this pandemic that we're going through? Um.

Truth, truth. How do I answer that? I think it is to each their own. Yeah, so I looked at it as you know Obviously this pandemic hurt a lot of people and a lot of entertainers especially comedians and the performing arts especially especially in Broadway and everything when they shut down. And it was really terrible because that's how people made their money. Like that's how they got, they got spots and they got paid for these things. And so, you know, I think the pandemic was obviously awful, but it really helped in a way because it opened up a new door to comedians taking and making things their own. And that's your story. The thing is to see how it's great to see how comedians have adapted to this pandemic.

Because I mean, let's be honest, like, you know, the pandemic of 1912, no one was standing outside of their bond being like Gert. We got Gert and her lady You know Two fields down one should come no one was barking outside of their barn To get people to come in and fucking comedy True they were just worried about the next meal is gonna come from on the Titanic next week And you're like, that's just not how it works So I think what Emma was is a lot of people obviously went to Zoom comedy shows.

That started taking off. Like people were doing Zoom comedy shows, but you had a lot of comedians who are like, I'm not doing that, that's not real comedy. Listen, you know what, to each your own. But I look at it as a spot as a spot, no matter whether it's online in the dingy basement, on a stage, a spot is a spot.

In order, if I have an opportunity to work on my craft and make people laugh, then I'm happy no matter where it is. You know, like I'll do it. So I think what comedians did in New York City is, you know, a lot of the, before the pandemic, it was very much club based. And that's great because these clubs are places where a lot of People get their footing into comedy and really get to shine in front of it like an actual concrete audience But you do shows when you do shows at

You know when you do shows out in the park or at these venues a lot of times you don't know who's gonna show up You don't know what kind of audience there is, but when you do shows at comedy clubs, you know that you're going to actually do comedy at a comedy club and people are there to see comedy. So it's one of those things, so it's like, yes. Comedy clubs, yes, 1,000%. They should have been back a long time ago,

but obviously the people in our city Didn't want that to happen which was a synonym totally, you know You also still have the comedians who are very wary about going out and that's understandable There like there's no fault. And I think what the thing is a lot of times is you know We shouldn't shame people for wanting to either stay in or go out, right? Absolutely for wanting to either stay in or go out, right? It's absolutely. But at the same token, they shouldn't be chastised for doing what they need to do to further their career

wherever that opportunity pops up. And it brings to mind the connection is made that how long have you been on Clubhouse for? I joined February 14th, I think. February 14th of this year? Well, Jesus Jones, you've been, you've been for just like a month and a half and you're like a rocket ship.

I mean, honestly, I see you everywhere on that clubhouse. Do you feel like clubhouse is a great place to do comedy? Or is it hard to do comedy at clubhouse because you cannot see people's reaction to your material? I love it, because I finally lay on my bed naked eating pizza. Yeah. Like I don't... I don't get this. I don't get it either.

Why not? Why would I not want to just lie naked and do comedy? You know, like it's the best thing in the world to do is to... What comedian is gonna be like, ah, I want to travel 17,000 miles to do a show for 20 minutes. I've heard it. I've heard it. I've heard this complaint I've heard it. I've heard this complaint. You know, there's a thing, and here's a thing, you know what? Like I've been able to do comedy for 800 people.

Yeah. 800 people on Clubhouse are listening to comedians do comedy. That's a big fucking deal. A lot of comedians, their biggest audience has been what, 30, 40, 50 people, maybe, yeah. You're good, yeah, but you're getting audiences of like a thousand, 2000 people. That's fucking amazing. And so, you know, and people are like, oh, I can't do comedy on there.

It's so weird. Listen, comedy is comedy. You can either make people laugh on that. Now, I will say this. Some people who are good at doing live comedy don't always translate well to online. We've had an experience with that. We've had an experience with this.

Yes, we've had a couple, well, we'll just say it this way. We've had a number, Oscar and I had a phone call before the show yesterday and I said that I was, that I had unfortunately was unable to air an episode that had aired and he says, oh, sometimes you don't air episodes that aren't good and I said, no I had, unfortunately, was unable to air an episode that had aired. And he says, oh, sometimes you don't air episodes

that aren't good. And I said, no, and he said, it's good, you throw away your trash or something like that. And I was like, I do. Because some people don't translate well. They're not like, you're funny, I feel like, now that I'm in. And everyday conversation.

And everyday conversation. So you're funny anyway, right? Doesn't matter where you put your Oscar, Oscar's gonna be funny because that's his personality. But I think some comics, they only turn on in certain situations and that certain situation may be what they're conditioned to do, like in front of an audience where they have to fight

for the laugh, but you get them on clubhouse and it falls completely flat. And we've all heard it. I mean, if you've been in as many club comedy rooms as I have our Oscar has, you hear it. You hear the people that are really trying to translate that type of comedy into audio only and it just doesn't work.

It's usually the comics, I believe. This is just my assumption. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but the comics who just have one set, five jokes, and that's it. They've been working on it for a long time. They don't know how to kind of move quick on their feet and adapt. Where Oscar is a fucking riot, no matter where you put. If you listen to Oscar on Clubhouse,

he is by far the funniest moderators. I can't wait to. I can't wait to. By far, no doubt, Oscar. I have to give you props because you are the funniest comic that's on Clubhouse, in my opinion. In my opinion.

Aw, well, here's the thing. A, I greatly appreciate that. You're welcome. B, is that I've always been like, I don't know, like, I consider myself a comedian, but I also consider myself like an entertainer. Yeah. So my been, and I think that for me is that some people can be really 1000% beautiful comedians.

And their gift is unparalleled right but some people also are entertainers on top of that. Yes, that's where I think you get like the like that's where you get the real gold and I'm trying to build up to that. I'm not saying I'm there But I also am one of those people that's like I'm not gonna force trying to be funny just to be funny. I'm gonna be like, if it's funny, I'm gonna say something if not, I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut.

But that's what I like about, like I enjoy clubhouse because I get to just kind of riff and have fun and do whatever I want, and I appreciate that. And you know, yes, have I, you know, I've looked at it as when I first started, I got, I was in a room and it was Nick Hurley who is a comedian in LA

and Tally Perry who is a comedian from Canada. I went in and my friend Daniel Janine, who lives here in New York, was like, you should try the app. So I was like, all right, great. So I went on to Clubhouse in the first room that I went into. I was like, I have no idea what I'm doing.

The first room that popped up was vent for 20 seconds and then shut up, which was a great, great, great. I knew what was going on. I knick hurl eight and tally Perry. And a few other people, and I don't remember who it was, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot of the people that I see around now. And I vented something and they were like oh this

guy's funny they brought me up on stage and then they modded me and I was like I have no idea what that means. Can we just say this? Modded hallway and hand raising was a not on my fucking bingo card for 2021. Right. Come on, you just stand there. Like, come and understand it. You would have put all that and been like, here you go. Put that on your bingo card. What is this?

So, but I think them because they kind of like helped guide me through clubhouse and I just kept going to the rooms where they were at. Yeah. I just learned how to do things and learned how to speak and learn how to moderate. And so now it's like, I enjoy being that. I've also kind of taken a little bit of a break.

Like I'm like, meh, sometimes. Like the big rooms are great and I enjoy them. But then there's a part of me that's like, meh. Yeah, I agree with you. It's ebbs and flows. Yeah, I agree with you. I think there's an obsession factor to clubhouse. It's easy to get obsessed and sucked into it,

but then you need to take a deep breath because what do we all, I mean, at the end of the day, it's like a game, you're getting followers, you're making friends, you're having fun, but it can consume your life. I'm sure that there's going to be a room for divorces at some point of clubhouse, because there's some people on there

that I see 24 hours a day. I go to bed, they're there, I wake up, they're there, they're never point of clubhouse. Because there's some people on there, I see 24 hours a day, I go to bed, they're there, I wake up through there, they're never not on clubhouse. And I wonder if they have lives outside of clubhouse, speaking of life outside of clubhouse, are you single? Is an important question that the audience wants to know. I am not single. Whoa!

I thought you were the consummate single man out there in the city. Oh God I know I am currently in a relationship and I can just tell you it's it's it's wonderful What needs to have love in their life? It's absolutely awful Fuck down before I forget because I do have GDHD when you do your podcast rooms I really love like I really love listening to people, but I go into a lot of the rooms outside of yours, Brian. I listen to people talk about podcasts and things like that. And what they don't do is they don't do this,

which is the sound test. And people don't realize is, like they'll like, oh, start a podcast and you need this and you need this. But what they don't tell the people is you gotta do a clap test. Yeah, that's about the STD. Right, I'm talking about.

That actual clap test where you clap in your apartment to see where the echo is. Echo goes, that's right. This right behind me is actually whiteboard to stop the echo from what you're looking at. Look at Oscar. Look at Oscar. Oscar took us 22 episodes to figure that out

in this fucking room and you should see, you cannot see, this room is, I know, I would be around the room going like this. And Holesley's like, what are you doing? I'm like, we're trying to figure out where the sound is going. So we have carpet on the floor, we have panels all over the,

it looks like a disaster. This is the only part of the room that actually looks good. It's all good by one wire. One of the things, one of the things that drives me fucking crazy about podcasters is that they will get on and they won't take 15 fucking seconds to make sure that they sound okay.

And they sound like they're in a goddamn tin can, talking. And then they think that it's, you know, they, oh, I got the best podcasters in the world. No, you don't. It doesn't matter if you got fucking Oprah on. If you sound like you're in a tin can, talking. And then they think that it's, oh, I got the best podcast in the world. No, you don't. It doesn't matter if you got fucking Oprah on. If you sound like you're in a tin can, I am not listening to your shitty show.

Take five minutes, make sure the microphone works and the headphones are on and you're so right Oscar, make it dead, dead, dead, dead. Okay, so that's the key. That's the key. That's the key. I have a question for both of you. Okay.

So as a comedian who always loves to learn and wants to grow, then I accept constructive criticism and, you know, and feedback. I would love for you to take time whenever you can and listen to my podcast, Gaby HD. It's on Spotify and tell me what I can do to make it better. Absolutely. I love to. Oscar, I will work with you personally on your podcast. Yeah, and there's a thing, my prime-green. My podcast is I've tried to, and I don't know, maybe I've said this in other places. So my podcast is, I've always wanted to do a podcast because I feel like I just have a natural gift for talking.

I think so. I've never had any friends growing up, so I just talk to myself. Perfect. So my thing is, and I feel like that's what every podcast is. It's true, sorry. We're trying to fill it all in our soul,

over and over again. Every episode. Yeah. I started gate, well, my first podcast was everybody calm the fuck down. And then I was like, okay, I can't do that because of the wording. Well, then I'll do stir the podcast.

And I was like, no, everybody's trying that. And I was like, all right, let's do GADHD. And that also stems from ADHD. And I was like, I'm still probably going to change the name 5,000 times because I'm still probably gonna change the name 5,000 times because I'm never happy. Yes, so I finally settled on GADHD and I did the artwork and I Did the first episode and it sounded awful and then I did the second episode But like what I'm noticing is I'm trying to make sure that it's obviously fun

But I'm focusing on entertainers and comedians who have been diagnosed with ADHD and how they cope with that. What a brilliant idea. Because I would bet that most comedians or others are a large subset of comedians who suffer from this problem. That's my guess. Right. Right.

So I'm trying to figure out, okay, so now I've got, and I've got a list of people that I want to use and everything like that. I'm trying to figure out, okay, so now I've got, and I've got a list of people that I want to use and everything like that, and I'm excited, right? Extatic. And, but I want to know, like what can I do to make each show different? Because obviously people are tuning in and they want to hear about the experiences,

but after a while you're like, okay, everybody's kind of, and when it comes to ADHD, it kind of starts sounding the same. So what can I do to ensure that it's always kind of fresh and new? I feel like you are a ball of entertainment. And what you need is you just need, and you, there are two, in my opinion, there are two types at the then diagram of podcasting. There are, at the very top, there are two types of podcasts.

There are informational podcasts where you're receiving a giving information and laughing can be that comedy can be that information. And then there are personality driven podcasts. You are a personality driven podcast. If I have ever seen one Oscar and I feel like the possibilities are endless with you. And I think you're right. I think that if you do ADHD too, like over and over and over again, by episode number 50 or 60, it's going to be the same story relatively over and over again with a different flavor. So Brian Green, podcast coach extraordinaire, high end, hot, hot end demand will absolutely take the time to sit with you Oscar and make sure that you have some material moving forward and that, that you figured out, look at, look at the commercial

break look at what a huge success we've driven up the internet. We're tearing up the internet. Yeah, but you guys are like you guys are very successful. Well, thank you. So here's the thing. So I've noticed Brian is that I am good on a receiving end. He, he, he, he, what's he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, I know you're gonna be a fan of it right now. But I will say, on the receiving end, I'm good, like if you're interviewing me,

I feel like I'm okay, but when I have to turn the tables and start interviewing people, I feel like I'm getting boring. Yeah. And that's what my fear is. A little preparation goes a long way in this, and I will absolutely share with you

some of the things that I've learned over our time here at the commercial break. I wanna get back to one question. I ask her, I- Ryan, can we do this? When you and I work together, can we call it preparation age? Yes.

Yes, we can call it whatever you want. Preparation age, fluffing, I don't care. Whatever you wanna call it, you can call it. I'm gonna go fluff Oscar. I'll be right back. I love that. I wanna go fluff that. I'll be right back. I love that. I'm gonna go. I love that preparation age.

Just to the tip. Whatever you want to call it Oscar, I'm in. We'll talk to my love that. I can just do that. Preparation age for a preparation homo. I am a straight man who's not afraid of my of my gainus. I just am now. I love it.

I love you Oscar. I love you to death. Tell me about love. I'm gonna love you guys, of my gainus. I just am now. I have no, there's, I love it. I love you, Oscar. I love you to death. Tell me about love. I love you guys too. Tell me about love. Tell me about this guy that you're dating. It's, well, how did you find him? Disgusting.

No, you come. Whoever invented love, but they need to be drug out into the street. That's why. You're just not used to that feeling. You're not used to that feeling of wanting somebody and needing somebody. Emotions?

Yes, that's it. So how, did you meet him during the pandemic? You said that feeling of wanting somebody and needing somebody. Emotions? Yes, that's it. So did you meet him during the pandemic? We met. He's actually a really cool fun guy. And we both have GDHD, which is great because we never actually finished. We finished sentences. Right, just start new ones.

We actually never finished our thoughts. Yeah. Hey, where are we going to? You want to never finish our thoughts. Yeah. Hey, how you where we going to? Do you want to go to the toilet? Yeah, this is what this sounds like. This is a conversation between the two of us. Hey, what do you feel like dinner? Oh my gosh. Guess what I just saw on Instagram. I was thinking of getting sushi. I was wanting to go to the park. I love't know what I love the park in the summertime. You know what's great the summertime?

Beijing suit. Oh my god, I need to go to T.V. I need to get a bathing suit. And like seven hours later, we have no idea. It's seven hours later, you know. I'm still hungry. Yeah, I'm still hungry. And then what's worse is we both stop,

and then we never even think about what we just talked about. Oh my god. I'm not gonna talking about that. No, we actually met at the laundry mat. So you met at the laundry mat? That's so sweet. That's so sweet. That's so sweet.

You were doing your sundrys and- You were sunday vests. Can I borrow a cordy? Yeah. All right. This isn't hallmark. This isn't the hallmark. For once in our lives, we're trying to be serious.

No, so we met... What's interesting is that we probably wouldn't have met if the woman in front of me hadn't taken so long. What's interesting is I was going to drop off my laundry and there was this woman and she was walking kind of like next to me on the sidewalk of New York City And then she kind of just bolted a little bit faster Oh Right in there and then she took like so long now

Because she took so long he actually came in I was like standing there and we started like you know giving each other the googly eyes Yeah, you know and then And then but the only reason like he came in is because I had been waiting there for so long. I'm assuming Hatchie not been there, I would not have met him. So I don't know. And yes, this is Sarah and Dipitus and this goes back to the Great Walkway Treaty of 2021.

If you don't know that Great Walkway Treaty of 2021 is, Brian wants put install the great walkway treaty of 2021. We signed it and everything. Where we actually have fucking manners on the street when we're walking with each other. You stand, you walk on the right side, don't cut in front of each other, stop walking in front of, you know, there's like some competition about walking. That's why I feel like New York would be bad for me because I would be heated 24 hours a day. I'd be like, do you do that in the car? Do you do that in the car? Fuck an asshole. But look at that, it worked out well for you.

I have a lot of time when I bike you down the street. I bike in New York City and I scream at people. He's got 99% of the time. He's got road rage on the bike. The construction workers. Right. Do the construction workers cat call you? I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

Look at that. Oscar is a handsome man. He looks like a telemundo star. You really do. There's a large contingency of possibly bisexual construction workers. Look at that. This is a secret.

I did not know. Welcome to you. We're on the inside. We're on the inside. I feel like this is what the show needed the entire time. Yeah, bisexual construction workers from a homosexual. That's correct. We needed to know.

Let's get them on the show too. Oscar, I don't even feel like we have scratched the surface. I have a list of questions, 15- 15 miles long, but the truth is that we keep the show down for 45 minutes. I would love to have you back. Are you coming back? Yes.

My God, that's it. That's it. That's it. That's all we do. We just do it for 30 minutes. I mean, because we know that much like you, the rest of the pot, the rest of the pot get huge. That's 80-18. It's 80-18.

We go over it. And we're literally doing the show to nobody. I mean, I feel like after a while we'll get there, where people will listen for longer and longer. But we're only 65 episodes in our ish. And so I feel like, and we look at the stats and after 45 minutes, people just, they turn off and they go away. So we want to keep it.

But more interviews like Oscar, I think. I agree with you. I feel like we need to, this is just me talking and people can text me 4705848449. Or at the covers of the right people can text me and let me know. But I feel like if we brought someone like Oscar on, we should do a real in-depth interview Like it should go for an hour like I feel like we just get warmed up and then it's time to go with the interviews sometimes and I people you should do like the question there where you like you do a poll and be like do you want? This is true. We should do that or do you never want to hear this person again? Yeah, yeah Oh Oscar I have I have a feeling we're going to get some good feedback

about this episode because we've had some other songs that didn't work out so hot for us. And you have been a good minute. Oscar's been a minute. I can't wait to check out your podcast. I love you too. I can't wait to listen to your podcast too. Yeah, in GADHD.

I don't expect much. Yeah, like I tell people when they go to my Tinder profile, don't, don't expect much. And, like I tell people when they go to my Tinder profile, don't, don't expect. I don't have anyone. He's not single anymore guys. He's taken off the streets. Don't expect anything. I'm going to put a nice hands of picture on the premise

so you can see that Oscar, when you come back and when you come back soon. Like seriously, when you come back in the next month, okay, we're going to do a part two. We'll follow up with Oscar. We do that with the people that we love. Part two coming up. Oscar Aiden, you can find them at what's your Instagram.

Oh, it's my biggest thing. So here's my thing. I am trying to drive as many people to my Instagram because as a comedian who produces shows in New York City, one of the biggest annoyances is that I don't have this swipe up feature. Oh. If you are like either verified annoyances is that I don't have the swipe up feature. I'm like a swipe up feature.

If you are either verified or if you're above 10,000 followers, so every time I try and promote shows, I always have to link them, like, go to bio, but then I'm like, ugh, so I'm trying to get people to go to my Instagram and I think that's the best social currency for me. It's just pushing people to insta's. We will. Okay, so tell us what the Instagram is. Here.

It's Oscar Aiden. A Y D I N. Yeah. Yeah. A Y D I N will put all of that information in the show notes. We'll send it out via our own Instagram account. Oscar, you are a man after my own heart. I love you. I'll see you in club us.

I'll help you with your podcasts. So just we'll get together after the show. Thank you so much. Thank you too. Thank you so much. We'll see you soon. Bye. Bye.

That's Oscar Aiden. Wow. I love Oscar. I love him so much. Oscar's going to get a part two. There's no doubt about it. Oscar is the man. But he's taken.

So just for all of the guys out there who were hoping and there he goes He's gone and for all of the guys who were hoping Oscars taking he's a handsome dude He looks like a telemundo star. I'm not even kidding. He looks like a telemundo star doesn't he? He does I know he's Turkish and he's probably mad at me for calling him, you know, Latino But the truth is he looks like a telemundo star So that's Oscar a and we'll bring him back for part two and he's super funny He is I did check out his Instagram stuff and he's got some really fun video.

I got lost in it yesterday. I really did. At first on the surface, you really have to dig for Oscar stuff. But if you go look for videos, he's done a lot of podcasts, he's done a lot of podcasts and stuff like that. Some of that you have to dig for a little bit.

And I'll put some links to that on the show. But he is a genuinely funny person. And I feel like also a genuinely sweet person. Like, you know, the funnyness is there, but then there's also this kind of, you know, kind, super dude, and in my couple interactions with him, I've had a great time. So, you know, what else?

What else is there to say? I do feel like, I do feel like we need to push the show a little bit when it comes to interviews. Yes. Because I feel like 20 minutes is not enough. 20, 30 minutes is not enough. Why don't we give people our listeners as well to if they're listening this far? Yes. If you've listened to this far. They've listened to this far. I think they've made it to the author of the Austrian. They've sent us suggestions. People you would like to see.

People you would like to see. Please. You throw anybody out. And also text us 4705-48449. If you're interested in us taking the interviews just a little bit further, we'd like to hear from you because we know when we did it over the hour, you know, we went over the hour, usually people were bailing after the hour, right? So if you're interested in the commercial break going a little longer here and there, not every time, but going a little bit longer when we have guests or special events, let us know. Vote with your fingers, 470-584-849. Vote with your fingers, I don't mean the COVID test.
