I am so dreading groceries this week. Why? You can skip it. Oh what, just like that? Just like that. How about dinner with my third cousin? Skip it. Prince Fluffy's favorite treats?

Skippable. Midnight snacks? Skip. My neighbor's nightly saxophone practices? Er, nope. You're on your own there. Coulda skipped it? Shoulda skipped it. Skip to the good part and get groceries, meals, and more delivered right to your door on skip.

Here's an interesting fact about TCB. The most popular episode on YouTube is the least popular episode on the audio feed. And the least popular episode on the audio feed is a best of, or what we used to call the best of the worst of, the commercial break. Here's a little revisionist history for you. Go all the way back to the beginning of the commercial break, and Chrissy and I did one episode a week, and sometimes we would skip a week. That went on for the first 20 or 30 episodes, until we got our shit together and decided

we could in fact put in one full hour of work every single week. Somewhere around episode 50 or 60, we upped that to two episodes a week, and then the worse the show got the more episodes we put out. But the more episodes we put out, the more opportunity for us to fuck it all up. And man, did we. I think we've got about 50 or 60 collective hours of episodes that we have never put out for one reason or the other. And on the off chance or the odd times that Chrissy and I were sick or needed to take

a day off, we would haphazardly take that shit from the can, cut it up, and put it out as the best of the worst of the commercial break. On episode number 203, that is almost 470 episodes ago, I dug around the trash, found an episode where Chrissy and I talked about Vince Neil from Motley Crue and how terribly out of shape and out of form he was, and we broke down a couple of live performances that we happened to catch on camera in what was then the new studio. Because most of the episode was crap, I just put out that 17-minute clip on YouTube, and that 17 minutes still gets a ton of views on a daily basis.

Ignoring the other 800-plus hours of content we have out there on YouTube, the algorithm has shined on the horse's ass of this 17 minutes. And the only time that this 17 minutes has played on the audio feed was that episode number 203, the best of the worst of the commercial break. And that episode is the least downloaded episode in commercial break history to this day. So now that you know a little commercial break trivia, welcome to a brand new version of the commercial break that I'm referring to as TCB Classic. So while Chrissy Christina and I lick our collective wounds from 28 days

of non-stop recording for December, I'm gonna put out the very first TCB Classic episode number 203. 203 revolves all around singing. First, my bad singing from a long time ago, then Vince Neil's bad singing from not so long ago, and then bad singing by Wes Scantlin from Puddle of Mud from any given time in their catalog. That guy's a national treasure. Someone ought to protect him. I know I promised you a TCB infomercial with Felipe Esparza, and we'll get to it.

It's a good one. But here's a TCB treat on a Friday, our very first TCB Classic, Shining Light on episode number 203, titled Puddle of Dud. I guess I'm gonna have to do this. I'm so nervous about this. I know. Well, it's just, the time has come. Here's the story. You're a good man, a big man.

I'm a big man. For doing this. I'm a man of my word. I don't want anyone to say that I didn't do this because I did do this. This may be the first and last time this ever gets played on the commercial break and who knows how long this episode stays out there.

I'm just gonna put that out there. Okay, to be brief. Here's the deal. I'm 15 years old and I start a band with a couple friends of mine, Dan and Mike. I won't give away their last names in case they don't wanna be heard. Yeah.

Dan is an incredibly talented, like an idiot savant type musician. He can play multiple instruments extraordinarily well. He's such a great technical musician. And he is the lead guitarist and or the bassist of our band. And then there's Mike, who is a drummer, a self-taught drummer, and he's very good himself. And then there is me, and I am playing guitar,

and I am singing and I'm writing the songs to the band that we named 33 Will. I'm so mad. At one point, we got asked to go, I think this is actually our first show, we got asked to go and play a house party. We had been practicing in Dan's Attic for like a year and making up these horrible, horrible songs that you're about to hear. And at one point we got asked to play a house party. Somebody that Dan knew was having a house party, their parents were out of town, it's like a Saturday afternoon at like 11, 15 in the afternoon. I mean, it was like, totally not conducive to this music. I'm not saying this is going to make the music any better

if it was at night, but I'm trying to give myself some excuse. It's like 11, 15 in the afternoon, we're playing in someone's living room, we've moved all the furniture mainly out of the way. So now it's circling the room and people are sitting on couches. Well, a person is sitting on a couch and we're playing in front of a fireplace in someone's pedestrian house in North of Atlanta. Okay, here we go. Ready?

Here is how the CD covers from the beginning until the end of the concert. Now I don't have the time to play all of it. So I've got to be choosy every every so they oh my god Okay, so let's just start. This is the beginning This is us getting warmed up. I like it. I like it. This is a little mood music. I can hear a little twinge of like a Pearl Jammy thing.

Oh yeah, there's a Pearl Jammy thing going on. Oh my God. Tuning up the instruments, getting ready. You got to prepare properly. You want to make sure everything's in tune. It's like when Fish does a jam. They're in between jams and they're transitioning. You start with a transition.

We end with a transition. It's like starting a sentence and ending it with a preposition. Getting going. This is so bad. This is the 26 minute intro. We're just so scared! We just keep twanging around. Eventually a song will come out.

We don't have to play the ones we wrote. We're already five minutes in and we haven't even played a song. No wonder people left. They were like, where are these guys tuning their instruments? Call me when they're done tuning it up. You guys should have taken care of that outside or something. Let's do a sunny side up. Sunny side up.

Sunny side up. Okay. Alright. Now I'm gonna go hide in the corner while you listen. This is so bad. It's probably not that bad. Totally. It's that bad. It's that bad. It's so bad. I'm so embarrassed. Okay. All right. Oh my God. Okay. Nice. There's the only talented musician in the group playing the bass line. Yeah, we should have kept it like that. It should have been the whole song. Do you just keep on going, man?

Mike and I are heading, we're going to go upstairs and smoke a cigarette. We'll be back when the important part starts. I think there's another guitarist, I don't know who he is. It's very doors-ish. Yeah it is. Very moody. This is the end. This is the end of your musical career, my friend. This is perfect for 11.15 on a Saturday afternoon. We're gonna bring things down a bit.

Let me bring it so far down you can't hear me singing. Yeah, I'm picturing. Yeah, with all the it up a notch. We're at like a 13, the party's at like a 1. Oh, back down, Get moody again. Yeah, yeah. If you notice there, I started singing way before I was supposed to. I'm 15. Give me a break. Yeah, I am, I am. I mean, good for you to try. Thanks, Oli. I appreciate that.

I mean, everybody's got to start somewhere. This is where we started. and the podcast is where we ended Listen to my voice I sound like Scott's tap from I mean the bass line is good. I think Again, we're gonna give it up to Dan Yeah, Mike's good. Mike's a good solid drummer What am I making breakfast This is my heavy metal song about Waffle House.

You've always had a love for Waffle House. I never stopped. Oh yeah, take it back down. Oh yeah. Guitar solo. Is that you? I don't know actually. I don't know if this is me if there's someone else because we had a second

Guitarist sometimes yeah, and I don't know if that guy is with us or not sounds like me. It sounds pretty bad By the way, this is the same talentless guitar playing that I Also my singing voice. Shutting light up! Shutting light up! Well, in fairness, it was like a time when there was a lot of, you know, angst and screaming and grunge was kind of, you know, around. If I'm 15, this is 1991. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, this is mean, this is just when Pearl Jam

and Nirvana have come out. I mean, not even. I don't even think some of these albums have even been out. Yeah, like Alice in Chains. Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, and we are just channeling that energy is what we are.

Oh yeah. The crowd is really responding to us by walking out the door. You're wearing your Doc Martens. I was. Same Doc Martens I was wearing at 22 with the fish coat thing. Did you have a chain? Like with the... Oh, you know I did. Martin. I was. Same dog Martin as I was wearing a 22 in the fish content. Did you have a chain? Like with the...

Oh, you know I did. Oh, you know I did. And not a small chain. A long chain, like down below my knee. And not a real chain either. The kind that gets wet and it starts peeling. Because I'm 15 and I can't order it. I can afford a Fender Stratocaster but I can't get a pair of shoes, clean underwear, or a chain that works. But sunny side up! Oh, it's so, so bad. Don't be too hard on yourself. You know, sometimes people they like meditate to their former self.

You know, saying they believe in like, you know, the string theory and multiple universes and time is just a dilation and you can talk to your younger self. I just keep telling my younger self, you're eventually behind a microphone. You're not much better at that either, but at least you're not screaming, SET IN TIGHT UP! And where are these lyrics coming from? I'm talking about all the drugs I'm taking.

Oh man, I bet I have the lyrics somewhere in one of these lyric books. I should bet. Lyrics books, yeah. There's like 22 songs in here, folks. So there will be another episode of this and I will try and get out the lyrics. You were like a season of 21 Jump Street.

I was. Well, a couple of them are cover tunes. We actually do The End, I think, by The Doors. And we do, In Killing in the Name of, by Rage Against the Machine, which is a song that like had just come out. So this must be 1992 actually, probably. I'm channeling my inner Anthony Kiedis.

All three of the notes we're playing sound really good. I don't know what the rest of the song says. I only heard Sunnyside Up. Well you can't hear me because I'm not talking. I'm not actually singing in the microphone. This is the thing that I remember doing. This is by thing that I remember doing. I was... this is by the way, it's just...... ... ...

Can you imagine being at like an afternoon brunch house party? This is what's coming at you? No one was brunching, let's be real. They were doing cave stands in the back. Smoking pot, just trying to chill out. Parents are out, you take advantage of what time of the day. It doesn't matter what time of the day.

Yeah, that's correct. All these guys were hoping like Widespread Part 2 was walking in the door, and they got Creed. Five years before Creed was a thing. They're like, wow, that's a really bad impression of Eddie Vedder. Well, you couldn't get Eddie better. So you got 33 Willy. You couldn't get any better or any better. So there you go. Hey, we paid inside the budget, which was $0.00 and 0 cents. I don't even think we got free beer at that point.

Anyway. You just needed the experience. Oh, we got plenty of experience. I remember a thing that I did. I wonder when you fell off the stage. Oh, yeah, plenty of experience. I remember a thing that I did. I wonder when you fell off the stage. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I think my singing got a little less like imitative. Like I wasn't trying to imitate somebody.

Here, clearly, what I'm doing is I'm trying to imitate a bunch of different singers of the time, and I'm not using my own voice. Not that my own voice was that much better. I was not a great singer in any stretch of the imagination. But what I've noticed about some of these old recordings, I have a habit of moving away from the microphone because I think I'm scared of being heard. Right? It's scary. But then when I get loud, I'm like, okay, well, I might as well just scream at this point. Just shake it in. Sunny side up!

Yeah. I like my eggs and sunny side up! Here we go now. Covered in smothered! Eggs to bacon! Cream in my coffee! What the fuck am I thinking? What were some of the other names in your songs? Do you remember? Oh, God, yeah. I've got him right here slide here's one called slide I think the Google

dolls then stole our song remember that why don't you slide yeah that was it why don't you slide that was it was think it was that slide. Yeah, that was it? Why don't you slide? That was it, it was most definitely. I think it was called Smile, no? No, it was Slide. Okay. Yeah, it was like, why don't you slide? Remember the Goo Goo Dolls? Oh yeah.

They were like a hardcore punk band that turned into like, you know, Goo Goo, Goo Goo. Goo Goo, Goo Goo. Goo Goo, Goo Goo. Goo Goo, Goo Goo. Why don't you slide? What other songs did they sing?

Oh God, I can't remember. Yeah, they were bad. It was bad. We all sang their songs back then, but it's bad. You don't hear those songs on the radio anymore. Okay, this is by 33 Willie. Before they were known as 33 Willie, we were known as Slowhead.

That was the name of the band. Slowhead, make up your own interpretation of that one. Yes, 15 year old boys. Dan-a-dan-a-dan-a-dan-a-dan, Dean Bodie show. Slowhead. Slowhead. Slowhead. Oh my God.

It's so bad. It's so cringy. Slowhead. Oh my god. It's so bad. It's so cringy. So 33 Willie, Slowhead, and Chopper Johnson. I don't think, yeah. All have references to penises. I just want to, I want to say this. I don't think Slowhead was my idea. I don't know whose it was, but it wasn't mine.

I would have never named my band Slowhead. 33 Willie was a much better name. Was this the same band too where you showed up and Tina dropped you off and you were that's shopper Johnson That's the act like this is my teen. This is a teenage band, right? This is a high school band, right? We're doing this thinking that we're gonna be famous. Yeah, obviously the talent I don't know where the talent scouts were clearly. I mean, you were still developing.

Yeah. In many ways. We're puberty basically is how we were developing. I still wait for my balls to drop. I just can't get over how bad that is. This is my teenage band, but then in my early twenties, I just can't get over how bad that is. This is my teenage band. But then in my early 20s, I joined a band that I affectionately named at some point

Chopper Johnson. We named Chopper Johnson at some point. Chopper Johnson was a more adult band. They were... I don't even know what that means. Meaning you were adults in it? Meaning we had to do porn to pay the bills? I don't know.

I think we played at a strip club once. I'm not sure. I don't remember. Meaning they were older than I was. It was a more mature band if you will. Yes, and they had recorded albums. They were like, and they had the same, their manager was the touring manager for Rush.

Wow. So their band manager was the touring manager for Rush. I mean, that's big. They were going places until I showed up. Oh my God. going places until I showed up they were well on their way here's what we're gonna do we We're gonna change the name to Shopper Johnson. That's right. And I'm gonna sing and we're gonna really take off. Have you guys ever heard of 33P?

No? Let me play you one of our classics. Sunny Side Up! Sunny Side Up! I'm Sonny's out of Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop

Well these guys still be Crying I don't know if I'm laughing because I'm embarrassed Yeah, so when I knocked on that when I knocked on that door last week

Imagine Imagine in a little record label and picked us up. You know what I would be? I would be like Puddle of Mud. That's what I would be like. I would be like that West Scanlan guy running around drunk and high on heroin trying to explain my music. And people would say, See, what Sonny said, I mean. Yeah, people would say, don't worry, everything old comes new again.

Yeah. Not for some people. I don't see the goo goo dolls running around with a farewell tour. You know what I'm saying? It just doesn't work that way for some people. I don't want to be running the you know boys demand what's What's left of Nsync and 33P? What is that music compil- Time Life Music Collection presents the best of 33P. Enjoy all the old classics like Sunny Side Up and Slide. like sunny side up and slide. You can only find this collection exclusively on time. I would love to see a VH1 behind the music.

I'd like to see any of us survive 50 years old. I'm picturing you like a stool. You know, y'all are all kind of hanging out. There's a black curtain behind. Picturing stool is about right for 33 feet. We also were playing behind the porta potties at this particular party. Not one person clapped. Tough crowd.

Yeah, tough crowd. Yeah, tough crowd. Tough crowd. A crowd insinuates that there were more than one person listening. That didn't happen. So to get back to the story, when I showed up with Tina, I answered a personal like not a personal ad, but an ad in like the creative loafing, a local

alternative trade. Looking for singer. Looking for singer. You know, bandwidth whatever, you know, album looking for singer. And so that's when I showed up at the door. Tina dropped me off and the guy was like, can I take these songs and call us back in a week with some ideas. And I was like, I don't have a car or a phone. But I still have my Blue Dog Martins from 33B. You want to listen to Slide? Why not? Why not?

We're in it now. I heard a woo. I think that was us. I think that was me. Maybe it was the dog. It was Mike. It was Scoot. Yeah, his name was Sco dog. It was Mike. It was Scoot. His name was Scoot. We called him Scooter.

Scooter. Scooter. It was the dog. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Hey, Mike's drumming pretty good here. Yeah, he's getting going. Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm doing, but Mike's going. I'm sure I'm going to come in and ruin the song at any moment. Remember Rob Zombie? There's this kind of Metallica, yeah. Remember White Zombie? Yes, White Zombie.

I sound like the guy from White Zombie. Why am I trying to emulate the guy from White Zombie? Oh, he was successful. Was it White Zombie? Yeah, it was White Zombie. No, from White Zombie. Why am I trying to emulate the guy from White Zombie? Oh, he was successful. Was it White Zombie? Yeah, it was White Zombie. No, not White Zombie. White Zombie was with... Oh, that was the Cranberries. Never mind. You seem like you're getting more confident. Yeah, we're drunk. Well, I'm getting more confident because I realize no one's listening. Because you are getting drunk.

I realize no one's listening. At this point, there's no one in the crowd. So I'm like, oh, I'm playing to nobody. It's just like when we're playing in the attic. Yeah. I think I've been disarmed by the fact that there is no one there yeah and we're just kind of treating it now like band practice right and at band practice we can be as bad as we want to be right and it goes

Never tell me something. What you looking for? What you looking for? To be fair to those of you who were not born or around in the 90s, there was much worse music than this that was playing on the radio. Not the singing, but the actual music part. I just want to let you know that. This is Dan slapping on the bass, he's had plenty of practice at home. There's some comic relief. Hey, I'm Brian over here at Chuckle's Laugh Factory all weekend long. Wow, what witty banter, Brian. It's

Jim Morrison-esque. It is. It is. As Astrid heard this. Seven miles. As Astrid? No, she has not. This will it's me. Has Astrid heard this? Seven miles. Has Astrid? No, she has not. This will be the first time. I'm praying this is one of those episodes

she won't listen all the way through. Yeah. It's the final kick, show me your drum. The cancel thing is all that I'm brahminin' I'm Brian. I'm Brian! In case anyone's listening. I'm Brian in case you're taking pictures for some magazine. Who cares? They are why. I'm Brian, like I'm introducing myself to people.

Like, I'm Brian, nice to meet you. People are like, dude, enough. I'm Brian. I'm Brian. I'm Brian. I can't even get to the bedrooms. Fuck man. Oh I shouldn't have taken a picture of you. I'm gonna be like, oh my god I'm gonna be like, oh my god, I'm gonna be like, oh my god I'm gonna be like, oh my god, I'm gonna be like, oh my god

I'm gonna be like, oh my god, I'm gonna be like, oh my god I'm gonna be like, oh my god I'm gonna be like, oh my god Instead I gotta listen to this shit. You're blocking the stairway, I can't even get to the bedrooms. Fuck man. Oh, I shouldn't have taken that LSD. Slow head is killing me. The guitar's ripping into me like a million knives.

You had to suffer through 33p, just like the two people who happened to show up at that house party. So you deserve a prize, a prize you shall get. Chrissy and I one time did an entire episode on Vince Neil and Motley Crue. I started finding all these really funny videos focusing on Vince Neil's vocal performances.

This guy is a hot mess. I'm not ever sure he was a really great singer, but as of late, he's drunk, out of shape, and it appears he just doesn't give a shit. He doesn't know his own lyrics, he gets exhausted just walking on stage, and he's trying to convince everybody in the audience that whatever he's doing to that microphone is actual singing, but it's not. For a couple of different reasons, we never ran that episode. And now, for your prize, the gift at the bottom of the cereal box, I am going to play Chrissy

and I reviewing Vince Neil live from Who Fuckin Cares singing the song Kickstart My Heart. Honestly, this is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. I hope you feel the same way. But don't go anywhere after this. I'll be back to present one more segment of this episode of the best of the worst of the commercial break podcast. Enjoy.

Go Google Motley Crue rockin' Rio on YouTube search engine. Okay, what year was this from? 2015, I think. So many smarter and funnier guys than me have actually put the, so we're about to listen to him sing Kickstart My Heart. Okay.

Vince Neil and the band play Kickstart My Heart. Vince is obviously drunk, fat, out of shape, out of breath. But he barely sings the lyrics. They're like, it's like mumble rap. You can't even fucking understand it. So what people have done is they have gone and they have made their own lyrics and put them on the bottom.

Now I don't wanna show those because that's somebody else's video. I mean, you get it. I don't wanna like take credit for somebody else's video. But wait until you hear the trash coming out of this guy's mouth. You don't even need to be watching this video

to hear how bad this is. Okay, this is gonna come on in one second. Oh, is that Nikki? That's Nikki. No, no, that's not Nikki. That's the other guy. The guy who's dead. Nothing like sliding your hand across a guitar for three minutes. and a crossing guitar for three minutes. Wow. I can already hear in the comment section. Fuck you, man. All right.

Wow. Woo. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Just listen, this is so good. Drive through pudding gonna cover me Drive through pudding gonna cover me Drive through pudding gonna cover me It's so bad Wack out Wack out Now we got the cops Having me

Being back 103 What? What? Being back 103 One two six four three two three I think the real lyric is what is it look out? My heart my kick start my heart right, but he's like look out start my heart right but he's like look out is every inch of his diaphragm is straining to make that noise he's like he takes a huge breath in You know that you know the old Batman where they had the Bam yeah, there was one that was like

Because you really know I'm a rat Rawr rawr rawr He's like making cat noises out there And then just pumping his fist in the air He can't move because he's so big so he just pumps his big fat arm up in the air I love this. I can't stop my heart no, but never does. Yeah. Yeah.

What? What? Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like. We're gonna fucking hear you, we are. It sounds like a dead cat WABOW! WABOW! Oh my god. Oh my god, this is what a heart attack looks like live. Geez, I know.

I feel worried for him, actually. Look in front of the good time. I was just able to decipher that. You can't keep up with the lyrics. He's like, ah, right, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'm gonna go to the bathroom.. I was disabled to decipher that He's wearing the same pants I wore for 12 years The bell bottoms. Uh huh. Yeah! Ready girls!

Yeah! Pretty girls! Yeah! Here comes it. Kick, slap my head, hit or die! Kick, slap my heart, I'm about to die! You can't remember the lyrics? No. And by the way, they're pasted all over the stage.

He's got lyric sheets all over the stage. Look down next time they do a stage shot. A lot of musicians do this now, right? Or they have an actual teleprompter. Sure it's helpful. Yeah, I mean when you, I can't, you know, I don't know. Rolling Stones or The Grateful Dead. I mean, I don't know if The Grateful Dead does this,

but you know, I know there's some bands who do this. They have such deep catalogs. It's like, I can't remember every single lyricateful Dead does this, but I know there's some bands who do this, they have such deep catalogs. It's like, I can't remember every single lyric to every single song, even though I wrote it. I mean, I can barely remember. This was a pretty good, a pretty big hit for them though. I bet he's sung it a ton of times. There weren't too many.

It's like, Dr. Feel Good, Girls, Girls, Girls, and this one. Right, Kickstart More. All the other ones are like, mm, I could understand. ["Shine High"] Wow. I don't know how he makes it through a whole set. Yeah. ["Shine High"] Yay.

Yay. Yay. This reminds me, this honestly reminds me of me and that man. 33 feet? So bad, yeah. Yay! Instead of going like, yeah! He's like, yay!

Can't breathe! Wacko! Look at him, he's drenched already. He's been out there for five minutes It's whispering We were talking about, oh we needed, needed was a laugh. Years come by and say we... Whoa! Okay. Here's the stage, dreamily the road you've been walking on.

You have to have the girls on there on stage to take away from the distraction. You better have something up there. From not remembering this. If it's me and you, this is the best thing that better have something up there. From not remembering. If it's me and you, this is the best thing that ever happened at a concert. We're like, this is incredible. I hope someone's videotaping this. If this is people who actually came to see Motley Crue

because they enjoy Motley Crue, they're like, what in the world? He's not even singing words. He's just like, and it's turning on the down. Wabow! Oh, oh, ah! He's just like, it's a weird series of honking noises. Oh, he looks really out of breath.

Yeah, he's out of shape. Wow. Yeah, he's out of shape. I'm gonna say, then I'll be too wild. Wild! Wow! Let's do fire and have girls. I'm gonna say, then I'll be too wild. He's giving up now. He's just like, I'm just going to point to the crowd, have them sing.

Keep your scum a hide, have a neighbor stop. Ha, ba, ba, ba, ba. Ha, ha, baby, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba Kickstart my skinlitty whapow!

Wes is worse for the wear. And what does he choose to sing? One of Nirvana's most beloved songs. I have a feeling from the moment that Wes Scantlin woke up, or maybe he was just still up that morning, shit was gonna hit the fan no matter what. Lucky for us, it hit the fan directly in front of the cameras. Here's Chrissy and I reviewing Puddle of Mud singing Nirvana during this most infamous of

live performances. I'll be back after this nightmare of a performance to wrap up this episode of the best of the worst of the Commercial Break Podcast. Enjoy! And I'm talking of course about one of the greatest bands that has ever lived really. I mean, you think of, when you think of artists, famous artists, like the best rock bands in the world, who do you think of? Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones.

Certainly. Mm-hmm. Beatles. Beatles. Yeah. Yeah. Nirvana. Nirvana. Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam, maybe you throw in a Grateful Dead in there. Yes-hmm. Beatles. Beatles. Yeah. Yeah. Nirvana.

Nirvana. Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam. Maybe you throw in a Grateful Dead in there. Yes, absolutely. There's lots of emo bands that were, My Chemical Roman. There's like, you can go on and on and on. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

My Morning Jacket. My Morning Jacket. Willow Smith, who I think is just excellent. She's, I'm all about her right now. You're a willow in Willow. Yeah. You're a willow in Willow. Yeah. Sixth dimension. But I think of one band,

one band stands out to me, Tannema amongst the rest. Okay. All the rest are small little minions compared to one huge behemoth, juggernaut of a band that came out in the late 90s and kind of had a run through the early 90s. Juggernaut.

They're a juggernaut. I think it's Juggernaut. It's a Juggernaut? I thought it was a Jurgenaut. It's not a Jurgenaut? It's Juggernaut. Juggernaut. Juggernaut? There's no R in there?

There's no R in Jurgenaut? I don't know, we'll look it up later. Spell check that for me. They had a lot of songs on the radio. They toured relentlessly. They made fans of every person that ever heard them. I'm talking of course about Puddle of Mud. Oh shit.

I mean that was. Name one of their songs. I didn't even have to. Name one of their songs. Is it Superman? Muddy? Muddy? I'm just making shit up.

Is it Superman? I'll be your Superman or whatever. I don't know. Hold on, we should know this. Look at Puddle of Mud real quick. We should know this. You look at Puddle of Mud, I look at Juggernaut. Yeah, okay, Puddle of,

I know the audience loves it when we stop to. Yes. This is the high quality kind of entertainment you get here at the commercial break. Okay, Puddle of Mud with band members. It's Juggernaut. Jurgernaut? Juggernaut.

Juggernaut. Okay. So they had, okay, here is their discography. I know, but what is their famous songs? Come Clean, Life on Display, Famous. Yeah, but what are the songs that... I really wanna know the songs that they had that were famous. And then I'm gonna get into, let's see here.

Well. Puddle of Mud, She Hates Me is one that I think we could all know. Yeah. And now she hates me. I know I'm not. I'm all of the way, ney, woo, woo, see, woo, woo, hey, hee, hee, mey, mey, mey, mey, mey, mey. I know I'm not doing his voice justice. I know there's a lot of

West Scantlin fans out there. So excuse me if I just, you know, I have to because anytime I hear that song, I just, it gets so catchy. She hates me. Good old puddle of mud. West Scantlin and his puddle of mud crew came into a, what I believe is a

Clear Channel or iHeartRadio studio Yes. one morning, one early morning, and decided to do one of their Puddle of Mud crew came into what I believe is a Clear Channel or iHeartRadio studio one morning, one early morning, and decided to do one of their live at five bullshit or whatever the fuck they were doing. And they decided to cover. Was I there? Were you there?

We used to have live performances where we were. We did, I don't think we had anybody that famous. I think we had that guy from Hootie and the Blowfish one time. We did and we had Lady A. Lady Antebellum? Well, they don't call themselves Lady Antebellum anymore. Yeah, that's not Lady A. Yeah, people got upset about that.

They came into the studio, I think this is in New York. This is, okay, this is a highfalutin. They decided to do a Nirvana cover, highfalutin. Yes, this is super fancy shit right here. Okay. Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath and now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right, it's 212-433-3TCB.

Are your ears prepared? I think so. Are that you have ever heard? I'm always ready your ears prepared I think so they powdered and nursed Their fluffed. Okay. Are you ready?

I want you to listen to puddle of mud covering nirvana's about a girl and let this run for a minute Then we'll play back the tape. Okay I need an easy friend I do with a head to land I do thank you for this too I do, thank you for this too. I do, but you have a clue. He's really getting into it. Does it look like Wes Cantlin's about to take a shit on the I Heart Floor or what? It does. Okay, I'll let it run. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

And it's wild. You hang me out to try. I can see you every night rain I know you're down there Now standing in your line I know you have a time I know you have a time I know you have a time I know you have a time I know you have a time I know you have a time I know you every time I... That guy next to him's like, eww.

Everybody in the band is like, holy shit, we're dying a slow death live on radio. First of all, second of all, I want you to notice that half of the band members, of which there are four, are wearing pajamas. They are. They're wearing pajama pants. So I'm not here to beat up Wes Scantland 100%. I'm just 80%, because I will say this. First thing in the morning, if you're a singer, like I was in 33P. That's right, you know. Those early morning radio events are really difficult to do

because I never did one, but I imagined it if I had to wake up early. We tried early morning band practice, like we were having a couple shows. So we tried to go like, you know, and I say early morning, I mean like 1130 in the morning. We'd all just like be so drunk, hungover. And we tried the early morning and it never worked because it's really hard to get your gears going.

Yeah, that's a nighttime thing, right? For sure. But you know, Wes is- It's like us trying to record at 10 a.m. when we tried this a few weeks ago. I said, come at 10 a.m. when we tried this a few weeks ago. I said, come at 10 to two. I saw, come at 10. To two.

Yeah, well you didn't say that. Make a number two. I do. Keep up. Stay with you. That's getting worse. What year was this? Like was Nirvana still alive?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is like five years ago. Oh, this is five years ago? Yeah, when did, he died in 97, I think. Was it 96 or 97? Yeah, 96 or 97. No, this is like five years ago. Poor Wes, man.

He's just trying his little heart out. He's really screaming. Nothing's working. Meow! He's got this look on his face, he's just trying his little heart out. He's really screaming. Nothing's working. He's got this look on his face where he's like taking a dump. He's like, I do hope a number. I do keep a day with you. Other guys like laughing. Yeah, he's laughing.

He's like, oh, there goes the other guy. The other guy's like laughing. Yeah, he's laughing. He's like, uh oh. There goes my regular paycheck. I mean, this is well past Puddle of Mud's Prime. I think, this is SeriousXM by the way, not Clear Channel. So I think Clear Channel, or Serious was just like, Puddle of Mud's gonna be in town tomorrow playing the Rinky Dink Arena in front of the the circus You guys what do you think? Wanna bring him in to have him do a song? Yeah, sure. We'll throw it on the internet This is like 380 million views because it's the worst vocal performance that's ever been recorded by a professional musician I'll be with you every night, friend. I'll be with you.

Well, at least the guitarist has got it together. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. At least, there you go. A little guitar solo. Is that the bass? No. He's doing the guitar. Yeah, he's doing the guitar And I mean he is struggling

He's struggling to put it all together. Yeah And when you're playing and singing at the same time, it's not an easy thing to do. Really? Yeah, no, uh-uh Well, imagine your mind's working on one tempo here and one tempo here so it's it's difficult to do I give him credit for that Number two? He said number two! He did, he goes, I take it number two! He said it. Uh, SiriusXM, studio number three. This is CEO SiriusXM! What in the good fuck is going down downstairs? It sounds like there are rats dying right below me!

Oh no no no, that's just wet scantlin from puddle of mud! Who? What? Get him off our radio before he kills the whole satellite industry Sounds like if diarrhea had a voice That would be it. Lord, it's painful. Cover flop. I love it when this's asylum and it's cover flop. The musical instruments sound great. Listen, not a particularly difficult song to play,

but all the rest of the band came and they brought their A game. Now this is Wes, I think Wes is high. That's my personal opinion. Because no one makes this kind of face unless there are narcotics involved in the situation. I love it. So Wes, you're so good. Well, that was three minutes of my life, I'll never get back. Wow, 3.16.

Four months. Okay, now just listen to the beginning of the song for a second. Watch his face right before he goes into it. He's gearing up. He's like, I hope they don't know I'm fucked up. That's a face I've seen. That's a face I've brought to the gas station, many a six o'clock in the morning.

To get beer when that six o'clock beer on Oakens. I do use my credit card to buy some more beer from you. I do use my credit card to buy some more beer from you. Sorry man, can't open my mouth. My teeth are wired shut. Yeah, exactly. Ground them down. That's why I need the beer to unlock my mouth. It's been three hours since we had beer.

Do you remember, do you remember the days when you would walk into the gas station? I remember. I'll say me. I remember when I walked into the gas station. I'll never forget this. There was one time when I was living downtown and there was a couple of gas stations. They were like half a mile away. You could take the back roads to them, right? So I felt it was safe. I remember after a long, one particularly long night, I needed beer. Because that was the only thing that was gonna cure my woes. And it had been about four hours since I had had a beer. So first of all, watching the clock was a painful event,

right? I just was waiting for six o'clock to roll around. And when 5.58 finally came around, I just never waiting for six o'clock to roll around. And when 5.58 finally came around, I just never forget this. I decided that it was now appropriate to get in the car and start making my way. It was beer o'clock. Beer o'clock. And I get in the car,

which I was driving this big old like hefty truck at the time. Like a, I don't even know what you call it. Hefty. It was, yeah, it was a Ford. Like a, like a. Like a Bronco? Like a Bronco. That's what it was. It was like a Bronco. You know, it was a four, like a- Like a Bronco? Like a Bronco, that's what it was. It was like a Bronco, you know, it was a four door Bronco.

And I just remember- Jacked up wheels. No, jacked up Brian. It's what it was. Jacked up wheels, jacked up Brian. And I'll never forget backing down that driveway in the neighborhood, driving like six and a half inches per hour because I didn't want to get pulled over, right?

And I only had to make it half a mile to the gas station. Every side street that there was, I decided to turn into to make sure that I wasn't being followed by a police officer. By the time I got to the gas station, it was 6.45. I was like, that was just such a mess. I stood out, I sat in the car for like 15 minutes deciding whether or not I really wanted

to go into the gas station. Drugs are a hell of a thing, kids. Stay away from the drugs. That's all I gotta say. Wes Scantlin obviously did not stay away from the drugs because he is a hot fucking mess. Now let's review this in more detail Chrissy. I mean again my cue is from the guy to the left of him stage right stage right stage right He's laughing and he has pajama pants on he has pajama pants on he's laughing probably because he knows how fucked up his singer is

Yeah, he's like god damn it when I left him at 1130 last thing I said was no more cocaine go to sleep. We gotta be at series XM at 515 in the morning and Wes said yeah no problem bro I got any more blow meanwhile in Wes's brain Just trying so hard. I mean, his facial expressions really are painful looking. Just imagine, you know when people stick their head out the window at 100 miles per hour, like the dog is going down the street with his face is all pulled back and floppy.

That's how Wes looks every time before he opens his mouth. Ow! No! Take it, then it's wild You hang me out to try I can see you every night Rain Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Oh my god. What do you think those serious executives are saying at this moment? If there are any serious executives that attended this particular event. Yeah, they're like, this was a mistake. Yeah, they're thinking, we should have left Puddle and Muddle alone.

They were fine where they were. We should have had them do an instrumental. Yeah. But maybe they're thinking. Somebody made a bad call on it. I wonder if anybody lost their job over this. Probably not after 300. I wonder if like they are the ones that decided

to cover this or it was somebody that suggested it. Here's my guess, because this is how, because just knowing, being in a band for so long, being a singer of a prominent rock band myself, I know how this goes. You go on tour, right? And you're touring, you know, whatever. Nursing homes.

200, yeah, nursing homes, house parties. Nursing home, house parties, and you know. It's a nursing home house party. Band number one out of 22 that will play on Monday nights starting at 6.15 in the afternoon. Right, you know the drill. Yeah, you're playing 200 nights a year. You don't wanna play your own shit always.

And so what usually happens is like during a sound check, or when you're in the van, or when you're just stopped somewhere or whatever, some guy goes, hey, let's play, you know, Nirvana's about a girl, you know, and they start twiddling around and they play it. Like I said, it's not a particularly hard song to cover. To sing, it is because Kurt's original register

is very high. But Kurt had an open throat. There is nothing open about Wes right now. His teeth are clenched, his mouth looks like he's taking a turd, his vocal cords are absolutely closed. There's no air going through those vocal cords. That's why it's,

mm-mm-mm! You know, and so they just pick this as one of the songs. I'm so glad we have you to break this down. Yeah, what happens if Brian's not here? I know. Then it's just another useless West Scantlin breakdown video. But when Brian's here, it's just another useless West Scantlin breakdown video.

You bring a breadth of experience. I do, it's all bullshit, but at least I'm trying. Wes's throat is so close where Kurtz was not. He had this very free, scratchy, lot of air going through his mouth. That sounded actually technical. So I think this just, they happened upon this song as one of those songs that they would play

every once in a blue moon. Probably like the rest of us. They were like, let's bust it out. Yeah, when they were high on cocaine at the hotel room, they would be like, let's play About a Girl again. We'll get this one down, the crowd'll go wild. And so they broke this out. They said, hey, we'll play About a Girl

if it's cool with you. Unfortunately, they didn't count on Wes being up for six days in a row before he showed up. But I think this is how his voice has always sounded. Because I went back and listened to a couple of their live performances. Yeah, a puddle of mud. Well, Wes Scantlin more specifically, tours on his own.

He does like the casino tours, you know what I'm saying? Casino and small clubs. People show up. And the reason why they show up is because Wes is inevitably fucked up. And I mean way fucked up. Like sometimes he's fallen asleep on stage. Sometimes he just sits there and smokes cigarettes and yells at the crowd

while the band is playing. Yeah, Chrissy, there are all kinds of incredible videos about Wes Cant. No, he's got a bad drug or alcohol problem and probably some mental issues to go along with it. Yeah. So I don't want to make fun of that, but it's kind of funny. You know what I'm saying? He just like tips over on stage one time. He's sitting on a chair. that she used to go along with it. So I don't wanna make fun of that, but it's kind of funny, you know what I'm saying? He just like tips over on stage one time.

He's sitting on a chair. He's singing the Puddle of Mud songs, which are not meant to be saddened. If you're gonna have a band called Puddle of Mud, you don't sit on stage. That's not what you do. It's all about the cocky, rocky dick shit, right? You're just, ah, wow, she hates me.

Ah, ah, hate me. What? What? What? So he falls over all over the place. Wes is a hot fucking mess. I didn't realize this about Wes. Oh, he's like a notorious mess too. Although I've just never paid attention to him.

No, why would you? Unless you spend 57 hours in front of your computer every day staring at absurd YouTube videos, then you would know. But just know, this is not unusual for Wes to phone in a horrible- Par for the course. Par for the course is exactly right.

Let's listen to just another minute of this. ["In Your Line"] Now, seven in your line. In your line. His head like rose up further off of his body. I know, he went like seven inches in the air. He was a turtle. Yeah. Poor Wes Scanlon.

Yeah. I hope you have a time. I do. Pick a number two. Number two. He does say, I do take a number two. Didn't he? Is that the actual lyrics of the song? I think so.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Hold on one second. I'll go back to about a girl. I don't think it said I do take a number two. I don't know. Let's see. It could have. Kurt could have gone down that it said I do take a number two. I don't know, let's see. It could have, Kurt could have gone down that road.

I do pick a number two. I'm standing here in your line. I do hope you have the time. I do pick a number two, meaning T-O-O, I do pick a number two. I do keep a date with you. He says, I do take a number two. I'm pretty sure he said take. Just to bring it to that next level of, you know,

artistic authenticity. Creativity. He made his own lyrics to about a girl that included, I do take a number two. Which is so apropos for his face. It really is. Yeah. Yeah.

It goes. With you. God, with you. With you. Yeah. Yeah. It goes. With you! God. With you! With you! With you! Yeah! You hang me out to dry.

Yeah! I mean that guy is laughing. That guy is, the guitarist is laughing. Thinks this is way too funny. It thinks it's way too funny. Which makes me believe maybe that this is all a joke. Like maybe Wes has always been singing this song badly. And he's a guitarist is like, I'm gonna get you dude.

I hate all your fucking drinking and drugging and boozing on the tours. I hate the small paychecks I get because you wrote the only song that ever mattered in the puddle of mud category. So guess what? I'm gonna fuck you dude. And he said, you know what we should do?

Yeah, he encouraged it. We should do About a Girl. It's so good. You did such a good job with that. Wes, I do? I do? I do. Well, let me sing it here.

Hey guys, let's sing About a Girl. I do. So bad. Well, you know, I was never a big Puddle the Mud fan in the first... Did you ever like Puddle the Mud? No. Do you ever know any of the Puddle the Mud songs? No.

Do you ever care about Puddle the Mud? No. Well, there you go. Wasn't that fun? It's two days after Christmas. The post-holiday depression is slowly setting in. The holiday channels on satellite radio are soon to go away. You're disgusted with yourself about how much you ate during the holiday feast, and you have no idea how to tell your

spouse, "...that was a terrible gift you gave me." But you can always count on Brian and Chrissy to make you feel a little bit better about yourself when you turn us on and wonder how exactly we make a living doing this. Financial acrobatics, my friends. Financial acrobatics, my friends. Financial acrobatics. Okay, but you do have to admit, after almost 700 episodes, we have earned the right to play an old one here or there. We've been your friends through thick and thin. We've seen you through almost five years of

life cycles. You've probably been through a relationship or two, maybe had a child or two, most definitely had a job or two, and probably cycled through a few comedy podcasts. But for some reason, like that bad meth addiction, you just can't put us down. I'll admit, it surprises me anyone listens, but I'll also admit, and I've said it many times before, there are a lot of people on this Earth, and many of us are not well. And if you couldn't tell that I'm one of them by this first segment of the show, where I delusionally thought I was good at singing, then your crazy picker is off.

Ok, well the new year is right around the corner, and Chrissy and I will not disappoint. New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, brand new episodes, all of us in the studio, some of us drunker than others, and you will not want to miss my New Year's Day revelation about being helmet buddies with a professional baseball player you will know by name. Drama drops everywhere, I'm spilling the tea, I don't give a shit anymore, I've entered the crazy age where white people either join a cult, spend too much money on CrossFit, or start a podcast they refuse to stop despite

all evidence they should. So hey, tune in next Tuesday and Wednesday. New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, brand new episodes. Okay, I'm gonna let you go so I can go spend time with my family. My wife may or may not right now be planning our divorce. TCBpodcast.com. That's the whole shebang. That's everything.
