As a locally owned television station serving our community, WSHIT is proud to present your
candidates for elected officials.
Tonight we hear from the Spron Spritz campaign.
Spron is of course running for Assistant Sanitation Director.
Now here is his paid for commercial. That's right, Vogue 8 and Yeo! We're all adults here, let's be reasonable.
We all do cocaine most of the time!
A recent article by Science revealed that 98% of all people everywhere enjoy cocaine.
And that's science talking, you know the number is probably much, much higher.
How do you think all those teachers stay awake while teaching your shitty kids?
Okay, that's how!
I recently asked 10 adult entertainers which would they prefer?
A carbon neutral real estate tax credit program or a Columbia's finest no snow?
10 votes pixie dust?
Zero for the fucking tax credits!
I've written some of the greatest music ever created while high on blow and now I want you to feel the same. We can create a concept album together like
Pink Floyd's The Wall. So remember, if you want co-covered tits or
dick, make sure you send your vote straight to split.
WSHIT feels obligated to let you know that Assistant Sanitation Director does not make
decisions about drug related policy
We do however hope that Spron gets the help he so obviously needs. I'm Spron Spritz and you bet your balls. I approve of this message
We'll be right back after this commercial break
Hey, you sit there you guy from Oklahoma and we listen to the commercial break.
No, Brian, best of you, brother.
On this episode of the commercial break, it was 4.5 hours long.
I left after 2 hours because I was like, it's just gonna be another two hours of you know
CGI and explosions and stuff that I'm I get it. I got it 10 for I'll read the I'll read the ending on a review
Yeah, I'm one of those guys who looks for the spoiler articles
Like I'm gonna say spoiler alert and I'm like
Yeah, tell me I don don't know how to waste all that time.
They ask us if we would do all the keynote speeches,
and we said, listen, we have things to do.
The coronavirus and all that shit, we can't do all of them.
And we can't even do one of them.
So we'll be in the audience.
Listen.
Yes.
You know, listen, when you get to as famous as Chrissy and I
are, they're people.
They want to nip at your heels.
A lot of five wants to pay you money,
I heart looking for us to come back.
And we have a long relationship with Clear Channel.
And we feel strongly that we'll never have
another relationship with Clear Channel.
You can imagine that after they got done with their speech,
all the throngs of people who just wanted to come up
and have touched me, have a piece of me.
You're close.
We're being ripped.
They weren't being ripped.
Everyone was being gentle,
because the coronavirus, but they were like,
we're, where are they talking about you?
And I was like, me.
I stood up on the chair and I was like me.
It was all about me.
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
How you doing friends?
Welcome back, I'm Brian. This is Chrissy Houdlian.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Chrissy Houdlian!
Best of you out there in the podcast, the universe.
It's another fantastic episode of your favorite show, The Commercial Brick!
That's right!
It's my son would say, come here, you're brieee!
I think it's all that's so cute.
Oh, getting him into the family business, that's what I'm gonna do. You two can be- he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he YouTube can be a middling no-mugney-making podcaster, son. Let me show you how to struggle financially for the rest of your life.
I told Rachel, our good friend Rachel McGrath, who does actually make money doing
it's spinning behind a microphone.
I said, I'm the most well-paid podcaster in all of North Georgia.
I'm making $2.12 an hour.
Fantastic.
I have a question before we get the show started.
It is a mentioned project because there's no other reason to do this.
But thank you for listening.
We do appreciate it.
We know that many of you are listening on a frequent basis.
So thanks for that.
What's wrong with your head?
That's all I got to say.
I got a question before we get started.
Or did you have a question for me?
Look like you had a question for me.
Do we have a high, no?
Okay.
It's a question and answer time.
Christine Bryant.
What is your question?
How do I get anal?
Oh God.
Oh God.
Go to a glory hole.
That's my answer.
Glory holes are good for anal.
All kind of fun.
My question is, have you seen the new look that Fred Derst? Yes, I did. What the fuck is going on with him?
Yeah, I don't know. One of the funniest things that's always to my
friend. It was the, you know, the BC boys sabotage.
Ah, the sabotage video. He kind of does a good sabotage video.
Look a wig. Great hair. But apparently it wasn't.
Apparently it's actual, I mean, I don't know for sure, but somebody I read on the internet said,
no, that's actually how he looks right now,
which is fucked up.
If you haven't seen the new Fred Durslow, go Google,
Fred, go Google Fred Durslow, the pollution,
you'll see it.
He's in like an old 70s style suit
with grey hair and a mustache
that is just can only be described as porn-tastic.
I mean, there's no other way to describe it. It's
really fucked up. But then I watched his performance, right? And I
would say that, you know, the carpet match the drapes on that one,
he looked like an old man trying to rock it out. It's just like,
you know, it's all about that nookie. What is it? It's all about
that nookie. What? I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead.
Did you watch the HBO on Woodstock 99?
No, but I'm about to get to that one.
Yeah.
I'm about to get to that one.
I just watched the Suicide Squad over the weekend
because I had a little bit of extra time on Friday night.
What did you think?
You know, that's not my thing.
Yeah.
DC comic, the Marvel comic universe,
not my particular thing.
I couldn't even sit through whatever it was. The the Avengers Superstorm or whatever that show was it was four and a half hours long
I left after two hours because I was like if it's just gonna be another two hours of you know
CGI and explosions and stuff then I'm I get it. I got it 10 for I'll read the I'll read the ending on a review
Yeah, I'm one of those guys who looks for the spoiler articles, you know what I'm saying?
I'm kind of due to the alert.
I can't edit it.
It's my kind of article.
Yeah, tell me.
I don't want to waste all that time.
And so for me, it's not like it's not my cup of tea.
But if I had to, like, I don't necessarily enjoy those movies, but for a movie that I watch late at night
on a Friday night laying in my bed,
I will say that it was entertaining.
Okay, well that's supposed to be.
Yeah, and it's not your usual PG or PG-13 type shit,
it's rated R, there's a lot of blood, a lot of guts,
a lot of comedy, and so I would,
half the suicide squad, a spoiler alert,
half the suicide squad dies in the first three minutes
of the movie, so it's really kind of strange, because you're like, oh, here's our soup, here's our anti-hero, a spoiler alert, half the suicide squad dies in the first three minutes of the movie. So it's really kind of strange,
because you're like, oh, here's our soup,
here's our anti-hero antithetical
of the superhero, whatever the fuck it is.
Yeah, I don't even know what the fuck it is.
There's a weasel and a guy and a dude
and a thing with a javelin.
I don't know, they all die.
Who cares?
At the end of the day, who cares?
We got real shit going on in the world, right?
Like, uh, like what?
I'm like ghost hunting.
Like ghost hunting. Like ghost hunting.
We're super shit again, but to get it get to.

If you've been paying attention to the Easter eggs
that we're dropping and we'll give away what?
I don't know.
I'm gonna tell you, I'll tell you in a couple of weeks.
It's such a super secret surprise that I don't wanna tell you
yet mainly because I haven't decided what is such a sledge
you about when we get a chance.
It'll be good.
I have to tell you that I have probably some of the str-
probably some of the strangest hours of my life have occurred in the last
week. Really? Well, you know this. I do. I was for the listener. Okay. Okay, okay.
I'm surprised. Some of the strangest hours of my life occurred over the last
week. Yes. And I'll explain. You'll be explained? Yes. I'll explain for the listeners. Yes. I'm now probably the most famous podcast or on the north side of the street that I live on at this point
The gong
Not a gong not a gong hold on. I think I have a gong sound in here. Let's see if I can you want to play with my little okay, ready? Let's see
Definitely not a gong see Not a gong
Definitely not a gong that's a dong
Crack is whack crack is whack you have no authority
No, you're not sir sir. Never had one lesson. At all. Read them and understand them. You can't just break the rules, Chuckie Weaver.
That was fun with Brian's sound effects.
Mm-hmm.
I, there's a platform out there.
It's called Fireside.
Fireside chat.
Don't mistake it for Clubhouse
because it's not Clubhouse, it's not at all what it is.
It is a live streaming audio platform.
So, video and video now, just announced a couple of days ago,
started by a young lady named Fallen Fatemi,
Fallen Fatemi decided that podcasting needed a fresh
and up and unlike Clubhouse, podcasters, mainly,
but people who wanted to do audio shows,
needed a place to go where they could produce their audio shows to an audience have control over the content
root root through all of the crap like club houses and listen I'm not knocking clubhouse if you like it great wonderful we are already did that that whole stick
I'm not doing it again. Yeah, but clubhouse is anybody can open a room anybody can talk about anything
It just ends up being a mishmash of a lot of different stuff where
anybody can talk about anything, it just ends up being a mishmosh of a lot of different stuff.
Where fireside focuses on the creators
and allows them to control what they're creating
and then the distribution of that creation afterwards.
So everything is recorded, everything is distributed
throughout the fireside platform.
And then if you wanna take other places,
like if we wanted to send that out to Spotify
or Apple or Google or the normal channels,
we could, we own the content, we control it,
we can take it somewhere else.
So in other words, we can do the same live show,
we're doing, the same show we're doing here,
we can do live and then get audience members
to interact with us if that's what we choose.
Or we can just do it live so that y'all can listen to it live.
Fire site, now available on the app store
for people who have iPhones, not available yet on Android,
but they're getting there.
So Fire site a couple of months ago, they asked us to start creating some shows on fireside,
and we said of course, because they need to put out some comedy shows, and the good people
at fireside have become good friends of ours over the last couple of weeks.
Also, I want to try and get this story without confusing everybody.
Also, there is a podcast conference.
Well, there's another major player that helped Fallon create this.
Yeah, I was going to get to that.
But okay, so I'll tell you, Mark Cuban is the main investor in fireside.
He has been funding it and he of course started broadcast.com many years ago.
He sold that for many millions of dollars.
That's part of how he got so fucking rich because he had broadcast.com.
Literally the first streaming service available on the internet was broadcast.com.
And he was explaining to me, explaining, you know, having telling me us people,
I'll get to that part too, that he was at one point, you know, broadcast.com was
literally broadcasting to like 17 people.
Like he was on the other end of a camera, broadcasting to 17 people or audio or whatever it was at the time.
So, Fallon, Mark Cuban, start FireSide. Now it's available to everybody. We were asked to do some creating on there.
We've started, we've volunteered, we've loved it. Early adopters to this.
There is a podcast conference called podcast movement out there. Podcast movement is a We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it.
We've loved it.
We've loved it.
We've loved it.

We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it. We've loved it. available anywhere in the world. A shining example for the world to see and imitate.
They ask us if we would do all the keynote speeches and we said,
listen, we have things to do.
The coronavirus and all that shit, we can't do all of them.
Right.
And we can't even do one of them.
So we'll be in the audience listening.
Yes.
You know, listen, when you get to as famous as Chrissy and I are,
there are people, they want to nip at your heels.
A lot of I want to pay you money.
I heart's looking for us to come back.
And, you know, we have a long relationship
with Clear Channel.
And we feel strongly that we'll never have
another relationship.
And you get the point.
Podcast movement, big conference happens in Nashville.
And months ago, it's announced
that they're going to do this live in a person.
And I say, hey, let's go to podcast movement.
All our buddies are gonna be there.
A lot of people we've been speaking with,
we haven't met in person.
Let's go to fucking podcast movement.
Yes.
But as the time draw drew near, my friend, Chrissy,
I had been, I just been down in Florida,
spent a lot of time, you know, in my car,
I was feeling exhausted, Kids weren't feeling well.
They don't have coronavirus, but they weren't feeling well.
Just the time didn't feel right.
A lot of different reasons, but the main one being coronavirus, that even though I'm
vaccinated, I don't know.
I have kids at home.
They're not vaccinated.
I just kind of try and take extra steps.
So I made the decision.
So this happens.
Podcast movement happens last Wednesday.
That's when it's starting.
And on Sunday, I make the executive decision here
at the commercial break.
We are not going to podcast movement.
Fuck that.
That's what I said.
You have no authority to do that, Jackie Weaver.
Fuck you, Jackie Weaver.
I'm making myself sound so much more important than I can.
It's a good job.
Thank you.
I say no to podcast movement. Yeah, I'm getting ready to so much more important than I can. It's a good job. Thank you. I say no to podcast movement.
Yeah, I get ready to go to town.
Yeah, I can.
It was kind of bad for me too.
It's bad for you.
It was bad for me.
It was bad for the whole staff.
And so as you can imagine, the podcast world reels.
Yeah, they.
The news quickly flies through the podcast universe.
And people are like, what?
Yeah, the guy is not going live and bother.
The disaster, yeah.
And I said, calm down, calm down.
If you're gonna go, you guys should go and do your thing
and I'll still be the most famous podcast
around the world.
Don't worry, things are gonna change.
Nothing's gonna change.
You go, keep me a prize of the situation.
I'll watch online, go, okay.
And I have to give credit to my friend,
Alison, risk hair here.
It's been a cheerleader for the commercial break since
they won.
Yeah, she's like super fan, super charged,
love my dear friend, Alison, we all do here at the
commercial break.
And she really is one of those people who's basically,
she's like a podcast fluffer.
She like goes in and gives everyone a heart on about
your shit.
Yeah.
And then you're like, come from behind the,
I'm excited. Yeah, you come then you were like, you're like,
come from behind the curtain.
And you're like a D minus maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like your friend, you're like,
hype up that friend of, you know, the friend of his girlfriend.
And he's like, oh man, she's super hot.
Yeah.
Come on, on this double date with us, her friend is super hot, dude.
You're gonna love her.
She's got a really great sense of humor.
Yeah.
And at any time, they say that, it's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then you show up and you're gonna love her. She's got a really explain how this happened. Allison had tried to convince
me to go. She said, you must go, Brian. Not only do I have this commercial break, but
then I work in the podcast industry. I help consult with others on how they do middling fuck
I'm not so many listeners
I don't know why but once I said it out loud
You're a mentor
Yeah right
Is Brian there?
Yeah, it's me
I heard you too can help me lose some of my listeners.
That's right.
You've come to the right place.
So I'm, so I act as a podcast consultant.
Believe it or not, I act as a podcast consultant.
You do, great job.
They said, have been watching the trajectory of your show.
I don't want something similar.
Sparkling fade, sparkle in fade.
So I say, so anyway, so she says,
all these people that you've been doing work with
and that you're on phone calls
and over the year of the pandemic,
like they're all gonna be there
and you have to take this opportunity to say hello.
Yeah, where I'm asking if you're worried about coronavirus,
you have to go, Brian, you have to go.
And to Allison's credit, she did try and get me to go to,
but to know avail.
I still said, I just don't think I can make it.
Even Matthias was upset.
Yeah.
He can hear him in the background.
But at the same time that we're having this phone call,
she's forwarding me an email.
And this email says, you're invited to cocktails
for, at the firesideide after Thursday night's activities.
There's a private event going on for fireside on Thursday.
I looked on and she said, well,
just you must be going to the fireside party too.
And we've been talking with fireside.
So, but I did not see an invite in my email.
Looked and I said, actually,
I don't think I was invited to that at all.
So now I gotta make the executive decision,
whether or not I'm gonna be a full on douche bag
or just a half douche bag,
and contact the people at fires, now remember,
I'm not even planning to go to fireside.
But now I'm so upset that I haven't been invited
to a fireside party, that I have to call,
I actually have to figure out
I get to the bottom of this.
Why did I not get the invite to the thing
I'm not going to, right?
Yes.
There's an old saying about Brian, if you want him to show up at your party, don't invite him.
So, okay. So, no, it all say it runs through the yonder over by the creek, down the
hallways. So, I say to myself, clearly this is an oversight by the people at fireside.
They were going to throw a party. Why wouldn't it include me? I must find out. I send a email to my good friend
Allison, the other Allison over at Fireside and I say, dear Allison, I don't want to sound
desperate, but clearly this is going to be a needy email. Other people are telling me
that they've been invited to a party which which I have not received an invitation. Yeah. I understand this is probably just an oversight.
Well, it was.
Oh, clearly, clearly an oversight.
Could you please forward me the invitation?
No, basically what I said was, hey, I don't want to be that douchebag.
And if it's a private party like you don't want me invited, that's okay.
Tell me.
I'm used to rejection like that.
So I'm used to rejection.
Don't worry about it.
You would drive up there fast.
Yes.
If you were specifically not invited.
If I was not invited, I'd be there in a don't worry about it. You would drive up there fast. Yes.
You were specifically not invited.
If I was not invited, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
Crashing the party somewhere.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Brian Green.
We were on a Zoom one time.
Remember?
Is that a party for people at fireside?
Because I'm on fireside.
Remember we talked.
So, Allison responds quickly.
Oh no, no.
Are you're going to podcast movement?
Yes, of course you're invited.
This, you know, I thought we sent an invitation.
Sorry.
It wasn't oversight.
It wasn't oversight.
Please look out for the invitation.
Yes.
And I said, oh, okay, well now I feel better, right?
Still not going to podcast movement,
but now I feel better, right? Still not going to podcast movement, but now I feel better.
Then, then a couple hours later, an email comes through.
And it says, invitation, exclusive dinner
with Mark Cuban and Fallon Fatimi.
God, I mean.
Now, this is not the invitation
that Allison had forwarded me at all.
The invitation was to a cocktail party
forced hosted by fireside.
Yeah.
What I got was an invitation to dinner
with Mark Cuban and Fallon Vittem.
Exclusive.
Exclusive.
That's what it said.
Literally exclusive.
Small group.
Small group.
Small room.
I mean, I didn't know all this then,
but Allison sends this to me and then she says,
confirming that you're going to be there, right?
Yeah.
I'm trying to get a head count confirming that you're going to be there. Well, I mean,
of course, not every day. Well, no, Mark and I know each other. We go way back.
Right. And I send a text to Mark and I say, Mark, do you really need me at dinner? And he said,
Brian, I'd prefer it if you were there, right? Just neat, you know, I feel uncomfortable in these situations. I'm a little socially awkward. Right. I don't
know anybody if you could come so that we could come so that you'll be the embarrassment
of the party. I appreciate it. Yes. Mark Cuban invites you to dinner.
Yes.
Or if someone invites you to dinner,
I'm Mark Cuban's behalf.
Right.
One of two things has happened.
But in either case, you should attend, right?
Yes.
Because how many other times you're gonna get to be
in the same room with the 110th most richest person
in the world, not to mention, I just like the guy
on, yeah, seems like a cool guy.
It's Shark Tank and I've seen his other appearances.
I generally kind of agree with the guy on, yeah, it seems like a cool guy. It's dark tank and I've seen his other appearances, I generally kind of agree with the guy
on the sensibilities.
And so, all the time we've been talking with fireside,
I've never met Mark.
I've met Fallon a few times on the Zoom.
Even being in a room with Fallon feels to me
like it was a big deal, right?
So, I don't mean to diminish Fallon
because even though Mark's got the bigger name,
Fallon is herself quite an outstanding human being.
Oh, absolutely.
So now I'm scrambling because it's now it's Monday night.
You and I have to record.
We're on Tuesday, we have to record real quick
and then I have to get up up there.
The entirety of, and let me explain, okay?
First and foremost, you have to decide what to wear.
This is the most important part of this entire, in my opinion.
Yes.
The most important part of the...
Welcome to the world.
Yes.
Yes.
I can't.
I can not wear a t-shirt.
That is clear.
What is clear is that my normal uniform of t-shirt and shorts is not probably going to be
acceptable at this dinner.
Right.
I find out that the dinner isn't in some big exhibit hall or anything like that.
Like, you know, with hundreds of other people, it just happens to be Mark happens to show
up.
This is in a tiny little Italian restaurant downtown Nashville.
And I'm like, holy shit, this is like the real deal.
Like one of the two things has happened, either he's, and by the way, even though I ask for
context, like, why am I showing up?
Why was I invited?
What are we talking about?
Do I have to prepare for anything?
Even though those questions were asked,
they remained unanswered.
Yes.
So no response.
So now I'm like, holy shit.
I'm literally walking into dinner with Mark Cuban
and I have no idea why I'm there.
No idea what I'm gonna say.
Flying blind.
Flying blind.
But because I am the one of the more notable podcasters
in the podcas universe,
I figure my mouth can get me by as long as I can get it loose enough.
Yes.
Mind you, I haven't had a drop of alcohol in for almost five years.
More to come on that.
What am I going to wear?
Yes.
So Astrid says, well, you got to wear a jacket.
Clearly, you have to wear a jacket.
You got to be, and I said, what if it's casual?
Would people are like in shorts?
And people aren't going to be in shorts.
Mark Cuban's going gonna show up.
Yeah.
I was a dinner.
It was a dinner.
And evening with Mark Cuban.
Yeah.
And evening with Mark Cuban and Brian Green
is how the invitation read to in my mind, right?
An intimate evening with Brian Green.
A fire side chat with Brian Green and Mark Cuban.
Yes.
Details to follow.
Yeah. I spent four fucking hours trying to figure out what to wear.
It's a hard decision.
I know.
And I'm one of those guys.
If I'm not in the mood, everything doesn't, I don't like anything.
I'm like, no, fuck that.
I look fat.
I hate this outfit.
Why would I wear brown shoes of the blue jacket?
Why can't I just wear what I run and wear?
Sandals and a day shirt.
You know what I'm just like,
I'm throwing a hissy fit, right?
I'm already feeling rushed and and nervous.
Yeah.
I don't know why I feel nervous
because me and Mark, we run in the same circles.
I just never met him face to face.
We have the same pilot.
I just don't know why we didn't,
you know, we never put it in his.
Right.
I paint, this is come up later. I paint for four hours why we didn't, you know, we never put it in his. Right. I paint, this is a come up later.
I paint for four hours of it's fucking,
and finally I make, Astrid makes a decision for me.
She's like, here's what you're wearing on Tuesday.
Here's what you're wearing on Wednesday.
Night, here's what you're wearing on Thursday night.
Here's what you're wearing on Friday.
I shut up and go, right?
Yeah.
And okay, so I rush out the door
and on Wednesday morning, thank God for Astrid
because honestly, I don't know what I do without the girl.
No.
Love of my life life super supporter. Yeah
He's something wrong with her. She's been well. There's a language barrier
There was to begin with
We were able to lure her in
Even though I spoke the language of music.
And by my way, the TV free.
You set the trap.
She walked in it.
Now she's stuck with it.
And she's like, we got to make you look great.
I know. She's stuck with you. And she's like, we got to make you look great. I know, she's like, fuck.
I mean, this guy has a nothing going for him.
How he got invited, I mean, she knows the truth.
She's like, why would anybody invite Brian
to dinner with Mark?
He does a really good job in putting a show on.
I always be very supportive of us
that you're gonna be the star of the show.
Star of the dinner.
I have to say that too.
I just say, well, Hody was giving me words of encouragement too.
And I appreciated it because, yes, you can imagine.
And in all seriousness, there's a little bit of nerves that comes with that kind of invitation,
especially when there's no context to it.
I don't know what's going on.
Yeah.
So, but what I imagined in my mind, like if I just tempered myself for two seconds was that
a number of other people from fireside and creators were invited to a dinner
because they wanted to just kind of like, you know,
show, like, hey, we want, we're of the people,
we're of the creators, we want you to feel comfortable.
And Mark said, if I'm gonna be there anyway,
I might as well spend time with some of the people
who are making this platform go, right?
Exactly.
But while I was invited, I had no idea why.
We still haven't broadcast yet.
Yeah, I mean, we've done a lot of shows on Fireside,
but mainly they've been like this.
Shots and y'all are here to learn.
Because we can't fucking figure out how to make
the technology work, not on their end, on our end.
Because that's the commercial break, right.
I go to the dinner, I get to Nashville
at the Opera Land Hotel, the world's biggest hotel, right?
It's huge.
It's like one of the top 100 biggest hotels in the world.
It's huge.
It's like 17 and a half acres.
It's so worth the gondola ride.
Yes, it's great.
It's crazy.
It's great to river running through it.
Imagine like a Vegas hotel in the middle of Nashville,
right? That's what it is.
It's incredible.
Takes me three hours to find my room, by the way.
Right, it's not really, it's like a Vegas hotel
in the sense that it's not really set up for success either.
It's like, you know, the guy who checked me in,
he had to go through three different maps
because even he couldn't map it out correctly.
He was taking his pen and going like this.
We're right here, and if you go here,
and he's like, oh no, let me start over again.
And then if you go here,
it's the world's most confusing hotel also,
but beautiful place, beautiful.
Lovely, they did a great job with it. And Nashville's a great hotel also, but beautiful place. Beautiful. Lovely.
They did a great job with it.
A Nashville's a great city.
Yeah, it is.
Okay, so I get there.
Dinner's at 6.30 at like 4.30.
I go back to the room and I meditate for an hour because I'm like, I got a chill out.
I just like, I was feeling, I don't know why I was feeling a lot of nerves about this
whole situation.
Well, it's the unknown.
That's when people get anxiety.
And I had sent an email just to double check
that I was actually invited to this particular event.
You know, I started to get the sense that
what really my head was, I really should have gotten
the invite for the cocktail party
and I accidentally got the invite for the dinner.
So I emailed back, hey, just, you know,
hey, thanks so much.
It's so exciting, just confirming, yeah.
It would be complex for this.
I walked in there and within 20 minutes,
I had two gin and tonic.
I haven't had a drink at a year and five years.
Not because I'm an alcoholic,
but because I just chose not to drink, right?
Yeah.
I shmanned it.
I was like, I was lubed up, nice and smooth up.
And of course, I get there.
And what it looks like to me is that I have clearly been been invited to a board meeting because the people that are standing around, I first of all,
I notice some famous podcasters are there. And second of all, the people that are standing around
look very important, like very important people, not like Brian Green, the podcaster, right?
So they were exuding confidence. It confidence or it was kind of like a high school dance.
Yeah.
At the very beginning of the high school dance.
Right, right.
Like everybody's huddled in their little packs, right?
And I'm not part of that pack.
And I don't know anybody.
Yeah.
It's at the back of a restaurant, nice restaurant.
And it's the room.
It's a room.
And the room is probably 100 by 40 with a bar full bar running
the entire length of the thing, a hundred foot bar, right?
So I get in there and I'm like, oh shit,
like this is a board meeting and I'm not supposed to be here.
How embarrassing is this gonna be for everybody involved
when they have to tell me that actually,
I'm not supposed to be here and I'm gonna show them the email
and they're gonna go, oh, but you were invited
and then they're gonna go, once you go to the,
once you go to the other part of the restaurant
and have dinner and it's on us.
Right, right, okay.
And invite some of your friends.
Sorry, you're an asshole.
I spent three to five minutes at the end of the bar, like,
in full on emergency panic.
Okay.
Like, holy shit.
Shut, shut, shut.
I'm one of the world's most famous podcasters.
No one said hello to me.
Doesn't anybody recognize me? But then
someone did recognize me. And it became clear that I actually was invited to this. And
that way, thank God, hopefully. Do you know that feeling?
You let out a big gin and tonic filter. Yeah. I threw up once it's right in the trash can.
Did a couple of rails in the bathroom
and got right back to it.
I'm like, woo!
Where's Goobin?
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Where's Goobin?
Where's Goobin?
I got an idea.
Ha ha ha ha.
I got an idea. I got an idea.
You take these stilts.
They're like, oh, stilts.
You ever seen Inspector Gadget?
You put them in your shoes.
And then every time you go to put a basket,
you just go up and you go down.
Go go and inspect your legs.
You're going to pitch them shark legs.
I was going to pitch them shark legs.
The commercial break.
You ever heard of it?
Faking millions. So then I realize that I am amongst friends.
I'm amongst many people that I have been talking to or some people that actually have
heard the show for years, as well as the fireside people who then trickled in after me.
I just happen to be a little early.
It was just a bunch of other nervous people standing around, pretending like they knew
each other too.
But once we everyone kind of got loose, then it was like, okay, now we're here.
30, 35 people in this room, you know, food at the,
whatever, anyway, but no Mark, no Fallon.
No where to be found.
And now we're gonna have into the party.
Mark and Fallon show up with a gentleman named Mazja Brony,
who's a pretty famous,
communist stand-up comedian in his own right.
And actor, he's been in a couple of movies
you've probably seen, and television shows.
So Maz shows up, and I actually recognize Maz
long before I actually recognize,
before my eyes kind of lock in on Fallon and Mark
on the other end of the bar, I recognize Maz.
I'm like, oh, that's Maz Jabroni, right?
I know him, I've been following him. I like him
And he walked right up to me stood right next to me and ordered a drink
Not because I guess it was a spot at the bar and we hit it all
Lovingly and by hit it off. I mean I was talking to him and I think he was trying to
He was like
Now that Dan's the people do what they're trying to get away with from you
They're like look at their phone,
they turn around and talk to somebody else.
And I'm like, Maaz, Maaz, hey, hey,
you want to do some blow? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, was a perfectly lovely human being and we talked and we talked about fireside for a good chunk
of time. We talked about like comedy and the clubhouse air and you know a lot of different stuff right
we're just having a lovely conversation. It's blowing. Yeah and his manager Ray was there also and
so it's a bunch of us standing around and then Fallon comes in and it was nice to see Fallon and
and Mark is making his way through the room. Very affable saying hello to everybody taking pictures
you know five minute conversation here,
five minute conversation there.
He knows how to do it.
Yeah, and everybody's just kinda trying to sneak
their way up to Mark though.
I can't sure.
No one really knows what to say to him, right?
They're all just kinda like, at one point,
poor guy was standing near the buffet,
just trying to get a bite to eat.
And it's like, when someone's trying to get a bite to eat,
doesn't matter how fucking famous they are,
just leave them alone. They just wanna eat their food, right? So trying to get a bite to eat, doesn't matter how fucking famous they are, just leave them alone.
They just want to eat their food.
Right?
So when he got to the dessert station,
that's when I went up to him.
Because I was mad at him.
Yeah, you're good.
Eventually, he made his way around the bar.
And he was standing next to me.
I think he was trying to eat or talk it on the phone
or something, and I just said,
hey, Mark, how you doing?
And he said, hey, we had a lovely conversation
for a period of time.
He was a very, very cool guy.
Like, he was glad to hear it.
Just talking shit.
Yeah.
Here's the crazy part, right?
So at some point during the conversation,
it's like, it's a big circle, right?
Of people.
Mark, Ma's, Fallon, we're all talking.
Ma's says, hey, Fallon, you should have Brian come up on stage tomorrow.
This guy, like he can talk for you guys, right?
This guy right here.
Fallon then says, hey, Mark, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I can't tell if anybody's joking or at that point,
like I'm just laughing along with it, right?
And that becomes important later.
Let me explain how my wardrobe came into play.
I, I weighed it.
I, I, for, for fucking hours, hold the,
I changed in and out of fucking shit,
looking for something to wear, right?
I'm too fat, I'm too skinny, I don't like this,
I don't like that, I'm old, my wrinkles,
my shoes, my socks, my color, my nuts.
I mean, my balls hang low, my bangs was sweaty.
Day-odd, anyway, it's not that I'm gonna get it.
So, Mark Cuban walked in with jeans, I mean, my balls hang low, my dangits was sweet. They don't, anyway, it's not gonna get it.
So, Mark Cuban walked in with jeans
and an underarmor shirt on.
Yeah.
That's what he worked in.
I could have worn a fucking T-shirt the whole time.
Actually, you know what, Mark Cuban can do that
right here.
He can do whatever he wants.
At some point, Mark and I are talking,
and I say, hey, listen, my mom, my wife, they love you.
They love you on Shark Tank.
As a matter of fact, you're on my wife's list.
You know that list that every married couple has the list?
Nah, I'm half joking about this.
Like I don't think I, whatever.
Right, I'm making a joke in general.
Mark grabs my phone and he makes a personal message
to Astrid on my phone.
And I won't give away the message.
I'm not gonna be that douchebag
that like you know, post bullshit,
but just know that like the joke rolled
and he rolled with it,
he was really fucking funny and really fucking cool.
He seems like that, so I'm glad to hear.
Our spent talking, drinking, having fun, everybody leaves.
At one point they just kinda disappear into the night, right?
I'm sure security was like,
you better be away from that Brian guy.
Bip, bip, bip, bip-bip, they probably have like a computer in the
Mark
And so they disappear into the night and the next morning they're giving the keynote address.
The deal is that Maz is going to set up and he's going to he's going to Q&A, Fallon,
moderate, Fallon and Mark having a conversation about fireside, right?
Right.
I guess the thought is that the comedian can make things a little light and they can roll
out, they can kind of introduce themselves to the world.
They've been around for a while,
but now, say a while since March,
but now they're actually available
to everybody on the app store.
Not 10 minutes of, so I show up,
a little worse for the way,
but I show up, I feel a little rough,
but it's Allison and I sitting kind of,
there's probably 1500 people in the room,
and we're sitting about halfway back in this room.
Yeah.
Not sure. Not 15 minutes goes by.
Chrissy, not 15 minutes goes by.
And Maaz has already mentioned my name twice.
Boom.
Boom.
My name.
One of your creators, Brian Green, I was talking to Brian
last night.
Brian Green, where are you, Brian Green?
In the crowd, right?
And I kind of like slowly raised my hand, like,
what the fuck am I?
They're going to ask me to literally ask me to come up there
and start talking.
I'm not sure I'm prepared for that, right?
I'm sure I want that.
But then Allison's like, he's over here!
And Mark's like, oh, there he is, there's Brian, right?
So, Fallon,
Maas, and Mark, talk about me for some period of time,
two or three times during the 40 minute conversation
that they have out there.
I love it.
There is nothing that makes your balls bigger
than having famous people talk about you.
I imagine you, it makes you quite the little star
in the universe that you're living in.
You can imagine that after they got done with their speech,
all the throngs of people who just wanted to come up and have touched me. that after they got done with their speech,
all the throngs of people who just wanted to come up and have touched me and have a piece of me.
You're close.
We're being ripped.
They weren't being ripped.
Everyone's being gentle.
Like the crown of iris.
But they were like,
were they talking about you?
And I was like me.
Me.
I stood up on the chair and I was like me it was all about me
And there were like throngs of people hanging out at me yeah, and then the janitor was like get down
And I was like it's about me're like, no, it's not.
You're blocking the entry.
Get off that chair, man.
Who are you?
I'm Brian Vee.
They just said my name.
Oh, Mark Cuein.
Oh, you mean the really famous guy?
Here in it, you know.
My brush with fame. He's get down. Oh.
My brush with fame. He's half and so quickly.
And it's just, it's as quick as it happened and went away.
I was famous in my mind right then when they were talking
about me, then afterward I expected just like many people
that come up and be like,
autograph.
Is that, were they talking about you autographs?
Yeah.
Can I get your name or phone number?
Hey, you want a contract? Spotify autographs? Yeah. Can I get your name or phone number?
Hey, you want a contract?
Spotify.
Where do I sign?
Yes.
Meanwhile, I got a text from one person who was watching it live.
Was that you?
Yeah, it was.
Why didn't you go up there?
I think why did I go up there?
Why did I go up there?
Why did I go up there?
They didn't invite me up.
They didn't say, hey Brian, come on.
What if you did run up with like your hand there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes Brian.
What's up?
Brian Green, nice to meet you.
I like prices, Brian.
Yeah.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
Oh, you know what? Okay, hold on. Once I, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh Yeah, you should have done that. But what happened was nothing.
That's what happened, nothing.
I think in a chance to talk to Miles afterwards and he was like, yeah,
I know you are.
They know your name.
We might, I think this is very fruitful.
I think this is fruitful.
That's what it is.
It's a mark now knows who I am, right?
His security team.
That's my picture.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right. Miles knows who I am. Yes. team. That's my picture.
Mod knows who I am. Yeah, he's spent the better half of three days ignoring my text messages. You know when they just put a heart when you say something. Heart
blocking you. Heart once they're closer. Heart is coming. Oh, I thought there's gonna be
maybe some kind of collaboration. There is. We're gonna get with my, so here's the point,
is besides a funny story that came up,
I did a couple people came up to me and they said,
oh, they was really nice of them to mention you.
What Maz said was what you said,
I thought was really smart about fireside,
I thought it was kind of well positioned
and that's why I used to do it.
What did you say?
I said the following.
I said the following.
I said that Clubhouse seems to be all about getting people
in the door, right?
They don't really give a shit.
Not that they don't give a shit.
I mean, I'm gonna rephrase that
because I don't know that Paul and Rohan
don't give a shit.
They're the two creators of Clubhouse.
Yeah.
They say that they are agnostic as far as creators are concerned.
So what they want is they want to level playing field.
They want to say hands off.
We don't want to get involved in what the creators are doing. Let the platform do what the platform is going to do
by the creators who are creating.
But it doesn't, even though they say that,
there are clearly people who get favorites,
favorite, favorited on that platform
and always seem to be easy to discover.
While others of us who are working equally as hard
are not ever discovered.
And I don't mean discovered like becoming famous,
but I mean having the opportunity for other people
to enjoy our content by finding us, right?
I spent months and months on that platform.
They'll tap a little following,
admittedly not as big as a lot of other people's.
They'll tap a little following.
And even when Stephen fucking write the comic,
walked in the door to sit down
for an hour with us or dick cavet or Henry Fonda, I mean Henry Winkler, Henry Fonda, Henry
Winkler.
Those people came in our rooms to sit down and have conversations with us.
We couldn't manage to get, we couldn't manage to get more than a couple hundred people in
there.
If you've been on the clubhouse platform for any amount of time, you know that a couple
hundred people is really not that big of a deal, right? There are some rooms that are
going five, eight, a thousand, two thousand people. So, Fireside puts the creators first.
They are looking for premium content that they can help cultivate and create and support
so that they can be kind of like the HBO of podcasting or audio social. They're saying,
let's pick some shows
that we think could be really good, live and recorded,
and let's support those creators in their vision,
and let's help them, right?
Yes.
Let's hire people who know what the fuck they're talking about,
as far as putting a show together is concerned,
an audio and video, and let's hire those people
to help these creators along.
Nice. That's the difference. They are purposefully putting their finger on the scale.
They are saying we are going to put our finger on the scale of content that we think is going to be good.
Also, they don't allow any bullshit on that platform.
That's another thing too, is it?
The very selective...
Right, not a lot of...
Yeah.
...riffraph.
Riffraph.
Yeah, in clubhouse it's all...
It's the spurious theories, things like that.
All kind of shit.
And if he's...
Yeah. And even though a few of the schmucks All kinds of shit. And if he's, yeah.
Yeah.
And even though a few of the schmucks have made their way
over there, I won't say any names.
But, you know, there are a lot of people in the podcast business
who feel like making a buck of every schmo that gets
into podcasting is important to them.
And so they were doing it on Clubhouse
and now they're doing it on Fireside again too.
It's the worst kind of cannibalism.
And I, and then claim to be the
you know the pod the savior of the podcast industry is fucking horse shit. I won't get into
names but you know I'm talking about it. I spent any amount of time on that. It's just a bunch of
it's just such slick shady shit. Yeah. Anyway, Fireside is completely different. It is not clubhouse.
It is a premium audio platform where you can get just live.
So here's the thing.
We will now be creating once a week,
at least once a week, on FireSide Live.
You can download the app if you've got iPhone.
You can find me, Brian Green or Chrissy Hode
that you can go there.

So this is like a whole new error of the commercial break.
Now, it is exciting.
It is exciting.
What have we learned from this whole conversation
that we've had today?
Number one.
Be prepared with an outfit. be prepared with an outfit be prepared
Number two
No, it was not the right sound effect number two blow is your friend. Yeah
If you haven't been drinking start. Yeah
If you quit drinking
start. Yeah. If you quit drinking, if you're not calling, you quit drinking, and you got a situation that you're nervous. Come on back. One night ain't going to kill me. Come on back
to water some more. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Of course. Right. And there
was no blow involved in anything. I'm a father of two. I can't do blow by you kidding me?
I wanna be able to function.
No.
Yeah, I just deal with other people's add or all.
That's how I make it through.
At number three, clearly, the commercial break
is on a trajectory in fast track.
Fast track to fame and success.
And like almost every other story track to fame and success. And like almost every other story
about fast fame and success.
There is nothing, there's no warning signs.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Everything's gonna turn out fine.
Look at all of the other people
who have gotten fame and success quickly.
They've done well for themselves.
Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix.
Yep. The guy from Home Alone. They've done well for themselves. They have Kurt Cobain Jimmy Hendrix. Yep
The guy from
Home Alone
Look how he turned out
Britney Spears that's right. Yeah, we've got people in place to meet we got solid skills were older. Yeah, we've got
We've got management in place with management Gust. Gustavo's more excited about eddy.
I think he's under the oppression.
We're actually famous.
I won't tell you this though.
I will explain one thing real quick.
There are a lot of people who could have given a shit less
about the commercial break in my inner circle who could have given a shit less about the commercial break in my inner circle,
who could have given a shit less about the commercial break
until I posted a picture with Park Cuban.
Oh.
And they still don't give a shit about the commercial.
I'm praying.
But they thought it was cool that I posted a picture
of Mark Cuban.
So thanks for the love and support, guys.
We appreciate it.
You know how much we love you.
It's really good. Oh, how much we love you. Really.
Oh, that's my story about Marquim.
Well, it sounds like a very fruitful trip.
A very nice hear that you made some good connections.
I think that it was important.
It was an important...
And it got you back.
It got us really into fireside, me even more so.
Yeah, now we're really invested in fires.
Because now I can't be that asshole,
and then we do fireside,
and they're talking about me for 10 minutes.
Yeah.
The one good thing that did come out of this
is I got about 250 new fireside followers
in like an hour and our podcast traffic went,
you're like this.
I do, yes.
It was kind of crazy.
Nice.
Okay, all right, listen, I'm not taking this out of context. I understand Mark Cuban doesn't know it still doesn't know who I am
No one gives a shit
Fallen's like great just like she doesn't know what the things are worried about she's like, okay, go do your show. What do I care?
Are you doing a show yet? Are you doing a show yet? Yeah, I need content and
Moz while I did get his phone number. I won't overuse it. I
Just text every couple hours. Yeah, just number, I won't overuse it.
I just text every couple hours. Yeah, just.
Hey, I thought it was something funny to say.
He could even under two hours.
Hey, you're a real comedian.
You wanna hear something funny from a non-guy, non-commedian?
That's the thing about getting someone who's,
I mean, more famous than you are.
Or someone who has, I'm not famous at all.
What am I kidding? Everybody's more famous than I are. Or someone who has, I'm not famous at all. What am I kidding?
Everybody's more famous than I am.
No one knows me.
You were recognized.
One time.
One time.
And I'm starting to think somebody put me up to that.
Because I'm like, I walked into,
I don't know, I'm gonna get to say it.
Okay, but here's the thing.
You know, when I exchange phone numbers
with a guy like Maz, right?
Then it's like, you really did have a connection
for that moment in time.
Yeah.
But does that live outside of that moment in time, right?
It's kind of like that hot girl you met at the bar.
Yeah.
Like, if you text her the next morning,
is she gonna text you back?
And if she only puts like a thumbs up sign on what you said,
what does that, I message just given you yet more ways
to be dismissive to people but still a way, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No one has read receipts anymore,
so now you know, you put a little thumb,
a little thumbs up.
I think it means, yeah, okay, we had that moment,
but you know, come on man, really?
What do you want me to do for your friend?
You're gonna be your friend?
I just need a content for the next morning. What do you want me to do for your friend? You're gonna be your friend?
I just need a content for the next morning. I got it. You gave it to me.
But unlike some people, at least I got credit for it.
I'm gonna say this also really quickly, and then I'm gonna leave it alone.
Yeah.
