Right, there are two things I'd rather be doing this morning.
One, not going to work, and two, not going to fucking work.
Oh, and I'd also like the long summer evenings back.
And to be able to fit into a size 10, but those days along, I don't know if they've used it.
Oh, there are fucking said it.
On this episode of The Commercial Break...
You know, there's 100 prestige television shows that I should be watching
in my 600 pound life reruns come on and I'm sitting there all goddamn day
Just found two cattle out in the West range. They're covered in jizz. Get your guns son. We're gonna go
We're gonna go shoot that cock in the balls. I barely had time to eat. I don't want to eat
I'm in a class right now teaching women how to make poikrest
I'm in a class right now teaching women how to make poik roast
The next episode of the commercial break starts now
Yeah, welcome back to the commercial break. Hi, Brian Green. This is my dear friend and beautiful co-host Kristen Joy Hodley best to you Chris
Best to you out there in the, best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
How the hell are you?
Thanks for joining us on yet another episode of this,
The Commercial Break.
It's not for everyone, but fact news or fiction is guaranteed.
You heard it here last.
What is your favorite television show from 2022?
Oh, God, that's tough.
Yeah.
Probably should have prepped you for the moment.
I know.
Well, just, we're sitting here and taking a break, uh, in between recording, and Chrissy's
watching the real house, what do you think of the house as a Saudi Arabia or something?
Oh, Miami.
Oh, Miami.
It's the reboot.
And she yells at me for watching TLC all the time.
Oh, wow.
As, you should not throw stones in a glass parade
Another euphemism by Brian true. Okay. Okay, okay besides real housewives of fucking whatever. Yeah, what are you?
What did you watch that's my trash TV guilty TV? How do you watch all of them? No, I don't watch them all but I watch a lot of
Serious event there's like two CDs the cities I don't watch them all, but I watch a lot of foam. I'm a serious event.
There's like two CDs of cities I don't watch.
But don't you think, like, okay, not to get into, I mean,
certainly I'm not the guy to be talking about trashy
reality television shows because I'm the king
of trashy reality television shows.
But don't you think that that really is just kind of
very formulaic, like throw a bunch of caddy women
that don't even live in the city,
nor are they rich, nor are they anything.
And then throw them in.
Those women in Miami are rich.
I'll tell you that.
Oh, they are?
Yeah.
Okay.
So they finally found somebody who actually has money.
I mean, we've talked about this in the show
a million fucking times before.
But when Real Housewives of Atlanta
has Simon fucking guabadiya as a character,
you know that they do zero background checks on these people.
Well, let me say there.
Yeah, there's certainly a lot of charlatans on there.
People pretending to be something they're not.
Uh, don't they just don't they just enjoy for some reason I enjoy the drama.
I enjoy with addictive the caddiness.
Yeah, it's kind of like the bachelor like I don't watch the bachelor,
but if I do watch the first one, I'm in.
Here's the funny thing.
And that's the thing, same thing with the housewives.
Yeah.
If I watch the first one, then I'm in,
then I want to know about them.
Are they really that rich?
Where do they, where do they from?
Where do they, I just, yeah, I get into it.
So it's, I'm kind of binge and then stop.
I would have never thought of myself as a bachelor kind of guy
But Astrid puts that shit on and then I get sucked into 30 seconds up and all of a sudden
I'm like, well who the fuck is I'm gonna make fun of it the whole time she hates that but it's fun for me
I make fun of them too. Yeah, I mean, I don't take it seriously
But is there any other television shows behind that besides the 75 different versions of real high times that you watched in 2022?
I'm trying to pull a tons of good ones and now I mean, damn.
We're doing the end of the year lists at the beginning of the year.
So there is no stuff that I watch on HBO.
It was good.
I have to say, also was Ozark.
Did that end in 2022?
Because I love that.
I guess.
Oh, you didn't get into it.
Really?
No, I thought it was too much of a breaking bad rip off.
I love that.
And something about Jason Bateman, I will always think of him as a smug, sarcastic,
sardantic little guy.
Yeah, the rest of development was fantastic.
I mean, all of his roles, the rest of development, every movie he's ever been in comically, he's
always just this kind of like, you know, grumpy, sarcastic guy.
He's a straight man.
In a cute way.
In a cute way.
But then so try and transfer that into like Brian Cranston type role where he's supposed
to be some.
You and I love breaking bad.
That was the OG.
That was the OG.
Well, a better call Saul ended.
Better call.
But I haven't watched the last season.
So I don't want to hear about it.
Very, very, very good. Yes. but answer me this riddle me this does Brian Cranston
make an appearance in better call Saul that's the only thing I want to know don't tell me how
to like he does but I think you know it's from a flashback oh it's a flashback okay did
that movie come out to remember the movie there was a movie and a lot of people this past year
the year before I think it was 2021.
If it wasn't at the very beginning of 2022, it was 2021.
Or maybe even 2020 at this point.
I don't know, it's just blood together
because we all sat in our houses doing nothing,
but watching fucking press each TV.
Thank God for Netflix, HBO, and Amazon.
That's all in Disney Plus.
That's all I gotta say.
But that show show which was
Really about the character that Aaron Paul played right just focused it on what happened afterwards
Um, I thought it was fantastic. I did too. I loved it
I got it. A lot of people criticized it because you know
They didn't say that whatever they were saying, but a lot of people didn't like it
They thought that it was kind of just like um
Like a manufactured extension when it was already perfect the way that it was kind of just like a manufactured extension when it was already
perfect the way that it was. And I understand. But I like knowing that Aaron Paul's character ran
off into the Alaska woods. I think that's kind of cool. I really wish that Brian Cranston
that he, that his character that Heisenberg, that Heisenberg had survived the shooting
and that there were additional,
like a movie to be made or something about it, right?
I really do.
I just, I have withdrawals from that fucking television show.
It was so good and so perfect in every way,
every time you sat down.
And at that time, I did not have a DVR when it first started.
When it first came on, I watched the very first episode,
the very first time that it came on, right?
And no one else watched it.
No one.
And I'm a being that guy that like, I'm into the band first,
you know, but I'm being that guy.
Yeah, I think you got me into it.
I think you got me into it.
So it was not until Netflix came along
and bought the rights to show the first two seasons
and then be a week behind the third season
that it actually gained some steam.
And they almost thought about canceling it
after season number one.
But from the very first episode.
It started on AMC, right?
I was good, AMC.
It did AMC the entire time, but the very first episode,
I was married to my ex-wife from the very first episode
came out and I'll never forget how drawn in I was.
I was like, because
you know what I loved? Fucking Malcolm in the middle. Did you ever watch Malcolm in the
middle with Brian Cranston? So good. Not a lot. He's so talented. He's definitely is.
And he's in that other show, the judge show or something. You're on it. You're on it. I just
saw that there's a season two coming out. And you know what else is coming? True detective season four with Jody Foster,
which I'm a sucker for a Jody Foster vehicle
because she doesn't do many of them.
And when she does, she's good.
Because ever since Silence of the Lambs,
Jody Foster kills it in almost everything that she's in.
What was that contact, the space movie?
Oh my God, that's one of my favorite movies.
It's one of my favorite movies. It is one of my favorite movies.
It is the only, it is the only.
It is the only.
Me too.
Me too.
It is the only sci-fi movie that I've seen in a long time,
sci-fi, strictly sci-fi, that I feel I could actually happen.
And it's really fucking cool.
Really?
And she goes in the space for those you haven't seen it.
She is a,
well, she's a scientist. She is a scientist.
She's a scientist.
They find some signals coming from outer space.
She picks up on it.
Yeah, they decode it.
They find out that it's instructions on how to build a structure.
They build a structure.
She gets picked to go in this structure, which is a big ball that gets dropped in the middle
of the thing.
You'll have to watch it.
Go look for contact, if you go to YouTube and you do contact Jody Foster Goes to Space
or something along those lines, that 12 minutes of that movie is fucking incredible.
Oh, God.
Fucking intense.
It's incredible.
Anyway, true detective is another one.
It is a great show.
I was living in the apartment and you and I were doing a lot of hanging out and I remember
that on my third iPhone, iPhone V3 or whatever it was, I got the true detective app, somebody gave
me like the HBO app or maybe it was free, if you got cable or something like that. So I remember
watching that in one fucking day and night. One day and night, the whole season and I was like,
God damn that's good. That fucking Woody Harrelson
Man, he's a fucking master master actor. I'll tell you what I really enjoyed this year. Okay. I enjoyed the movie
About now I'm forgetting is Jeffrey Dahmer. Oh right you did like the series about Jeffrey Dahmer was very good. I liked I am Sean Array
about Jeffrey Dahmer was very good. I liked, I am Sean Array.
Because I'm just fascinated by this first time.
I don't know, I can't get over it.
I'm totally fascinated.
Yeah, we can't help it, we're fascinated.
Do you know that we had that whole conversation
about Sean Array about the like, the,
was that the opposite that didn't air?
It's possible.
There are so many that don't air, I don't know.
That's why when we start, when we open up these microphones,
I never go back, I very rarely do I reference old shows.
Because first of all, they don't air.
I have no idea in which order they're gonna air,
because it's just really at the winds of Brian.
I'm like, oh, that sounds like a good episode to put out tomorrow.
And we're not that far ahead, but some episodes you write.
They just never air for one reason or another.
If Chrissy and I turn off the microphone,
usually if it's a bad episode,
I ended around minute 30,
and then you know it's not going anywhere.
I could really do 30 minutes.
It's just going in the can.
But I am Sean Array, brought up some like, for me,
I've just been thinking about this question the whole time
that poor Sean Array deserves love.
But how can she have love?
She has a good deserves love. But how can she have love?
She has a deserve love.
Absolutely.
And she deserves to have a romantic relationship,
like, not just say deserves,
she should be able to have a romantic relationship
like everybody else,
but how do you fucking?
How do you get out of the fight?
It's gotta be different.
It's gotta be different.
It's gotta be different.
She looks like a ten year old.
Yeah, and like I said,
I think the only way that there might be a chance
of something working in my opinion,
if I'm her parents,
is knowing that maybe they went to school together
like when they were 10.
Yeah, that's true.
So for those of you that don't know,
they he knows are from when she was actually 10.
I totally agree.
And the more that I think about it,
the more I think you're right about this.
For those of you that don't know,
I am Sean Array is a show,
of course it's on fucking TLC
because that's a Brian as a shill for TLC and all
their stupid reality shows but I am Sean Array focuses on a girl who had cancer at young age and it's
stepped on her pituitary gland mess with her pituitary gland or something so she is literally stuck in
stasis she looks and sounds like she's 10 or 11 years old, but she's really 21 or 22 years old.
And so the show focuses on her life and navigating,
and navigating kind of the like adult life,
driving, getting your own apartment,
having your own job.
Her parents have completely ill-equipped her for this
because they have just shielded her
from any kind of anything, but maybe they needed to.
I don't know how I would deal with it.
How would you deal with Matthias?
I would lock him in the basement basement and give him everything he needed.
He grows up to be 22 and he still looks like he's sick.
You know what I do?
I go to Disney World and get him in for free for the rest of his life.
I do, I do.
I do like it's under 10.
You're preparing them.
But so this show, I am Sean Array, one of the things that they focus on also, especially
in the last couple episodes, it's her love life.
And some guy that she met on the internet, he's like, this British dude, has all the sudden,
you know, come into her life as a romantic possibility.
And I just have to really question the motives.
And if I'm the parents, I really have to question the motives of a 20-something-year-old man
who flies across the pond to date my 10 year old looking daughter.
Right, I am in that boat too.
But then I'm walking around,
I'm literally walking around them all the other day
and this question is stuck in my head
and I'm like, what would I do if one of my-
I think I was thinking about it too, the rain shower.
It's such a complicated question
and then I feel so bad for Sean Array.
But the truth is if you want to if you are
Like just in the normal course of dating they've showed her going on a couple blind dates and the guys have said no
Yeah, well and that is a great reaction because you're like I don't think I can I mean
I don't want to be graphic about this
But I don't think I can get physical with a girl who looks and sounds like she's 10 years old
Yeah, and if you're comfortable with that you have to question whether I think I can get physical with a girl who looks and sounds like she's 10 years old.
And if you're comfortable with that, you have to question whether this person is a trouble maker.
I don't know the guy who seems perfectly nice on the television show.
They don't show any, I think they kiss once or something like that.
But Chrissy said, so I said, what do you do?
How do you solve this conundrum? She is entitled to love and romance just like everybody else,
but she has the body of a ten year old
and may always have the body of a ten year old.
And besides some wrinkles on her face,
a few like smile lines and stuff,
you would never know that that girl was 21, 22.
And Chrissy said,
that you would need to maybe get together
with somebody you went to school with.
Someone you know in your entire life.
Yeah, someone you've known your entire life
and you know that personality.
They're true intentions.
Or you have to get together with someone who has actually had this in the syndrome.
Even this.
I know.
But yeah, listen, the whole situation is weird.
I'm rooting for Sean Array and her life.
Of course.
But at the same time, I'm like, I just.
Maybe this was the way to do it was to get on TV.
You know what?
Maybe so.
That way all of the pedophiles can come out of the water.
You know that her Instagram is blowing up or whatever.
She's even got an Instagram.
With those parents, she probably does not.
What other television shows did we like?
I don't know.
I was looking at an end of your list.
Let me see if I can pull that out.
I liked the crown.
I thought the crown did another great season.
This one is a little slower than most, but I
Did enjoy the crown. I didn't get a chance to watch any of those
You know, there's a thing about having kids too kids and the stupid fucking podcast and a stupid fucking job is that I have
Zero time to watch anything. So what I end up watching is a lot of reruns of shows that I've already seen because it's just I can fall asleep during
I don't give a shit or I pick like short British sitcoms.
And you know which one I found that I really liked.
There's two of them.
It's not British actually, it's Irish.
Bridget and Iman on Amazon.
You can watch, it's free V is like a, yeah, okay.
So free V is being piped in through Amazon.
This Irish sitcom, this 30 minute television show,
this comedy show called Bridget and Iman,
is one of the funniest fucking shows I have ever seen
in my entire life.
And while you may have to watch it with the subtitles on
because they have thick Irish accents,
it's based on a couple that lives in Ireland in the 80s.
And Chris, write it down. What is the name?
Bridget and Iman. Iman is spelled E-A-M-O-N.
You gotta watch this show. Watch the first two episodes
and tell me you didn't fucking laugh out loud,
at least 60 times.
And then another show I wanted to shout out
was After Taste on Amazon,
which is an Australian show about a chef
who gets canceled culture uh, cancel culture.
And then he moves back in with his niece or something like that.
My God speaking of chefs.
So last night, Jeff and I watched a show on HBO and it was a doozy.
What show was that?
The menu.
Is it the movie?
The menu that we talked about this.
Is that the one where they're like killing each other and okay, don't give, don't give
way to get on my list.
But it's so good. I way to get on my list.
But it's so good, I loved it.
Jeff was a little rattled by it, but I loved it.
Because it's also a very cynical look at the food world.
Oh good, I love that.
The foodies and the different people and like the tech bros
that have to go to the best restaurants.
Because it's supposed to be the best restaurant in the world.
Yeah, the coke bros. Yeah, says to be the best restaurant in the world. Yeah, the Coke Bros.
Yeah.
You know, they had a fascinating television show.
I think it was on Bravo for a hot minute where,
I can't remember the name of the restaurant,
but it was a very famous restaurant in New York
and was considered the best one of the best restaurants
in the world.
And they did a total refurbishment of the place
and the cameras followed them
as they re-shut down then re-open the restaurant in a new way and all the things that went into it.
At the end of the day, my heart is always going to be with the restaurant industry. I think I'm
always going to be like a service guy at the end. You know, we were talking about like, we were
saying on an episode, I don't know when it's going to air, but we said on an episode. I don't know when it's gonna air, but we said on an episode, we were talking
about how Astrid often says, Brian, go give him the Brian look, which you means is sometimes
the Brian Charm can bring about nice things like-
Riches and gold.
Yeah, Riches and gold. 70-inch cocks in tight vagina.
Why Brian do that?
Why Brian do that. Why, Brian, do that, huh? And I think that I understand a little bit why I can communicate in that way.
And I believe it has to do with the restaurant business.
Because when you are a waiter and a bartender, you get really attuned at picking up somebody's
momentary attitude, the where they're at their perspective you get really
Quick at putting yourself in someone else's shoes and kind of intuitively understanding what they may need out of an interaction with
Well, and also with sales. I mean, I know
I'm advertising sales. Yeah, you have to adapt to a lot of different people's personalities
Yeah, I mean unless you're like doing the clear channel boiler room bullshit,
go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
how many calls did you get in, call now, call now, call now.
That was always more relationship to sales.
And you have to really get to know somebody
and see what's important to them.
In most sales jobs, the ability to build a quick relationship
and some trust is, is tantamount.
And, you know, if you're selling widgets
like transactionally online, you don't need that.
But if you're selling any kind of consultative sales
and advertising is one of those things.
But I'm really a restaurant guy at heart.
So any time that I see these restaurant-based shows,
I have to pick up on them.
And aftertaste was such a good show.
And I know that it was, I critically acclaimed
in Australia, it runs on their television stations
before it does over here.
Okay. And then it does over here. Okay.
And then it comes over to Amazon.
So season two is coming out and I'm super excited about that.
I was thinking that and all the, so they're saying that the end of
press the prestige TV is here.
Yeah, I was, well, I was saying that.
The companies are going to start scaling back on the, and listen, I get it.
I totally understand this.
You know, how many more television shows about...
Severance, severance, severance was a good one. I never watched Severance. I didn't I'll have to get into it
You did we talked about it Severance on Apple. Oh
Severance yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, for some reason I thought you were talking about that show that ever no that's
Billions or whatever that show is I like that show too. Okay, Severance is so fucking good and in season two they have a bunch of special guest stars that they're filming it right now
I can't wait that's such a good such an original concept
Yeah, and there was apparently a television show in the 70s that did a very like a similar takeoff on it
And it's so good watch Severance if you have it on Apple TV the morning show was a great one the morning show was wonderful
I was going through these yellow stone.
I look, I waited four seasons in until to watch Yellowstone.
I was like, eh, but everybody's talking about it.
Let me know if it's about boom, addicted.
You were hooked, yeah.
Really?
And Jeff was too.
We love it.
Really?
Okay, maybe I'll give it a try.
I'm afraid to get sucked into yellow stone
You know what else what other show was the Amazon?
The Amazon show oh my god. I'm not I'm nominum
Three three pines
Not three pines the one about the hole in the ground. Did you see that one?
Do you know I'm talking?
It got canceled?
No.
Where they would go to another world?
What?
Were they good to another world when they stepped down
into the hole?
They stepped into the hole and they get transported in time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was so good.
Who was the star of that?
It was everybody.
I was a star of that.
It was everybody.
Not Javier Bardem, but the other guy that was in.
I stumbled upon that show and I was like,
oh my god, this would be a touting.
So fucking good. It was all over Amazon. I stumbled upon that show and I was like, oh my god. This would be a touting. Oh, fucking good. It was all over Amazon.
I loved it.
Damn it. I really wanted to see what happened in season two.
I know.
He was in no country for old men.
One of my favorite movies, but I can't remember the fucking guy's name.
I know. I can remember the show.
Such a handsome dude, dude.
Like, he's like, he's like one of those old guys that's handsome.
You know what I'm saying? He's like Harrison Ford type.
He keeps getting better.
Look it, and I get up there.
God damn it.
That was a great show.
It's such a great show.
I saw it, I loved it.
Love it, loved it.
Yeah.
I'm watching Jack Ryan right now.
Season three.
I'm not gonna end of that.
You know, it's so stereotypical.
That's the thing.
Like, you know, action, but there's something about it.
Like I like watching what's his name play, Jack Ryan, you know, the guy from the
office, whatever his name is.
I like watching him play that.
You know, so they're saying that's the end of Prestige TV.
Everyone's going to start scaling back on spending.
I totally get it.
There's a lot of television shows and you just can't get to all of them.
And these streaming services have to start making money or they're going to go away. And none
of them are making money. None of them are making money. Netflix is losing money. Amazon
can afford to lose money. They'll probably stick around for a long time. Disney is just Disney,
but they're losing a shit on the money also. Yeah, I know. It's getting too diluted.
It's you can't watch all of it. No. And so therefore, everything, instead of getting a major audience for the really good shows,
we're getting pretty good shows and it's just so spaced out that you don't know it's
a watch.
You have no idea what to watch.
I always feel like no matter what I start watching, I'm missing out on six other things.
I agree.
I have that feeling too and that's why I go straight to housewives and zoning.
Kind of me too. It's kind of like I go straight to housewives and zone out of me too
It's kind of like I know what to expect on TLC. I got this. I know this I got this
It's gonna be some shitty reality show that I don't have to get that emotionally involved in and I can yell with the screen
I have to cut it off. I cut it off. Yeah, it's okay
You know there's a hundred prestige television shows that I should be watching and my 600 pound like reruns come on
I'm sitting there. Oh god damn day
Okay, so it's called like the horizon or the event or something like that
Good look on your watch again. Maybe that's oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, or Amazon originals. Okay, I'll keep talking about you do that.
Yeah.
So when they say the end, but you know, we, it wasn't too long ago when there were just
a few television stations that could even afford to do these kind of television programs.
Right.
And it was the way that they did it was, they went around, people would pitch them television
shows or they would be at the upfronts,
and they would see television shows
that had already been produced, a pilot, or whatever.
And they would only green light a few.
And those television shows would then go on air
for one, two, three episodes.
And if they didn't find an audience, they were done for it.
They were canceled.
And in the 90s, this happened to left and right.
There are so many television shows in the 90s and early 2000s.
Night sky. Oh no, I wasn't. That's not what I'm thinking of. I'm not thinking of night sky.
Okay. This was sissy space. I love her. And JK. Oh, is that the one that got? Is that
the one that got canceled? I canceled. So maybe years is still going. I'm thinking
about. I'm thinking about that was so good. Oh, I saw, have you seen the outlaws?
Oh.
The outlaws was so good.
Oh, the Amazon originals?
Yeah, now, I know this guy is just taking a beating right now
because he said some really, really nasty stuff
about Meghan Markle, but Jeremy Clarkson,
who the guy who did the top gear, top racer, top gear,
out in the UK,
that incredibly popular show.
He was one of the original guys who did that.
He was the top gear star,
and he did something called Jeremy Clarkson's farm.
And it's about him buying a farm,
and what it takes to get that farm going.
It is one of the fucking, it's so sincere,
but so funny at the same time.
Because he's really trying to make it work.
And even though he's a climate change denier,
he gets into like, you know,
making sure he's protecting the wetlands
and all this stuff.
He's kind of like, leans right, but he jokes left.
It's kind of, it's interesting how he straddles that.
But Clarkson's farm was really good too.
I wish, yeah, we gotta find this
because I really wanna tell people
to watch this television
show.
And kind of scrolling through and I saw that.
Have you seen that Val movie about Val Kilmer?
No.
Current, it's like him currently, rare in the past few years.
But you know, he had, he had throat like a, was it cancer?
Yeah.
I think he had throat cancer.
Yeah.
Yeah. And it talks about it. It's a great movie. It's a great Yeah. I think it had throat cancer. Yeah. And it talks about, it's a great movie.
It's a great movie.
I highly recommend it.
Val.
Yeah, it's kind of sad what happened to Val Kilmer actually.
Yeah, but he's making it.
He's doing it.
But his son is the one who does the movie and interviews him.
Josh Brolin is who I'm thinking of.
And good old Josh Brolin.
If you see it, I feel like I'm in.
Okay.
So, outer range is the name of the show.
Have you seen outer range?
No.
Okay, outer range is the show.
Watch the show, Chrissy.
Tell me you don't love the show.
Watch outer range.
So back in the 90s and the early 2000s,
we only had a few television stations
that could afford to put on any kind of television show,
whatsoever, sitcom, drama, melodrama.
And then reality television is like peak reality TV
is like 2005, 2006,
when really actors and actresses got replaced by regular people doing regular things.
Regular idiots like Brian on the real world trying to do bullshit.
So I started googling because I was just fascinated by this.
I started googling television shows in the 90s and 2000s that only lasted for a couple of episodes,
right? Cause I wanted to see if I had ever seen any of these shows and how bad they were,
or how good they were. Like, could we have had an extra season? And do you know what I came upon?
You're never gonna, I, I, if you've seen this, I'm gonna be so, so incredibly surprised. Um,
I'm gonna be so, so incredibly surprised.
Here, let me. Oh my God, if that's what the show is about,
Outer Range, the year you would love,
you would love Yellowstone.
What?
Well, a rancher fighting for her.
No, no, no, no, no, this is completely different.
Okay, okay.
Completely different.
He finds literally, finds a hole in the grocery.
A whole lot on his ranch.
The glory.
And he said one big cock.
It was a hole in the ranch and just a big penis came out and gizzed on you every time you got close to it.
That would be incredible. It would be all over TLC.
I'm going to wish.
Listen, two years ago we probably got to go to got this concept greenlighted, the glory hole, a a rancher fights for his family the big penis spews sticky
seamen all over just found two cattle out in the west range they're covered in jizz get
your guns son we're gonna go we're gonna go shoot that cock in the balls. Hahaha. Oh my god, what a brilliant television show.

So Chrissy, I was trolling on the internet.
As you do. As you do.
As I do.
Listen, my wife told me to do a show about television shows,
and so I'm doing a show about television shows,
mainly to satisfy my wife,
because she thinks we're boring otherwise.
So, she's not the only one, by the way.
Okay, if you can guess this show without before the title,
I'm gonna be surprised.
You can guess this show by the soundtrack,
by the opening
song. I swear to God, I'll give you are, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh TV, this is sitcom in a studio, fake laughing and everything.
This is basically about a girl whose dad has passed
and he turns into a crystal like,
I don't know, trinket, like an ash tray
that talks to her and she has the ability to stop time
by putting her fingers together, right?
Do you remember that?
I can remember the time stopping thing.
Yeah, the time stopping thing. That's what got me
too. I couldn't remember until she started stopping time, but this show is so fucking cheese
not, Chrissy. Well, listen to a few minutes of it, because I think it's just... Of course,
they're going to start off in a kitchen. They're going to start off at a diner. They just
so happens to be the same diner that the guys from, that the kids from Zach and Kelly I don't know no no no no no no no no yes also the peach pit it also
I will be yeah what oh god damn it why is my brain not working today where is Zach from
to save by the bell save by the bell thank you the name of the title of the episode is Hex Angels. Like what the heck?
Listen to that music. I'm gonna use that for our transitions. Dun dun dun dun. Don't you think that? Don't you think that's it? Let's listen to it one more time.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Yeah, I love it.

Insert laughjack here.
There's the wacky Zany server coming on out of the peach bed.
Yeah, I just fell.
Yeah.
Here you are, girls. Yeah, I just fell. Yeah.
Here you are, girls. Congratulations, Peter.
Thank you.
Just a little joke.
I will get the real burger.
All of these shows say cocaine's a hell of a drug, kids.
What you're not seeing is that there's
like a waiter that comes out of the diner thing and he's like making all these crazy
movements and clicking his teeth and yeah
Hong Kong let me feel tense
don't end Tokyo
it's so bad that it's funny because this and this is so formulaic every show in
the 90s saved by the bell you name a thousand of them they all have the same thing there's the zany
diner guy and then there's the girls who I can guarantee you even though I have
not seen this whole episode I can guarantee you are gonna fawn over some
cute boy that just came to town right?
Probably.
Need the new boy?
The new boy in town.
Hex Angels.
He's in the Hex Angels. It's a good thing I already had a big lunch.
Yeah, what do you always eat before you come to the goody-goody?
OOOOOOHHHHH!
That's why.
Boy, I don't have time to eat anyways.
Why not? Well, I signed up for that high school tutorial program.
I'm tutoring a kid in remedial English.
In fact, he's supposed to meet me here,
and then we're gonna head over to the library.
Easy.
I barely had time to eat.
I don't want to eat. I'm in a class right now,
teaching women how to make pork roast.
I can't believe you'd rather help an educationally starved young man
get his diploma than waste your time here with me.
I don't know.
I don't know. Well, who is this kid anyway. I don't know who is this kid anyway.
I don't know.
I feel like I went to high school plays that were acted better than this.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I wonder why these two girls have.
Yeah, not very good.
I think they missed out on the prestige TV gangbusters.
You know how every actor in the world got a job because of prestige TV?
These two I haven't seen again.
Okay.
Names! Brad for Dillingworth's third. Hey, that's a classy name. Yeah!
Dillingworth? Chad Dillingworth.
Name that has an air of new clothes and old money.
Which one of you uses EV-GOLLIN?
She is!
Is that the thong of the show? Which one of you is the TV college? She is!
Is that the fond of the show?
Which one of you?
Which one of you is?
Which one of you is the Dits of my Touch in the Day?
Hey, I got a note from the gym teacher
said, come in and fuck this young lady.
Who is that?
What is this?
Anterdice clay?
That's what it is.
It's an Anterdice clay. It's Andrew Dysclay.
The bandana and the leather jacket.
Look at him, he's got to pair handcuffs around his dick.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
YouTube.com slash the commercial break,

He literally, like, you know, guys in the 90s
would have the chains around their wallet.
He's got handcuffs around his dick. That's pretty suggestive.
Dilling worth the duck.
Yep, he's got an air all right.
But, uh...
Oh, my friends call me moose.
Excuse me, moose.

businesses in our town.

Yes, I want to hear about this.
So I'm going in the kitchen now because I trust you dear.
I raised you right. Have a good head on your shoulders.
You're very level-headed. Yes, I know you wouldn't do anything stupid.

Offly, send him. But sit next to you in the library today.
Watching you sit in the library with these handcuffs
around my cock.
I realized how much I'm in love with you.
With these handcuffs on my cock and this painted on mustache and a little bit too much
brown.
He looks like.
Remember the George Michael video?
I can't remember the video, but there was a George Michael video way back when MTV was
a thing.
And they dressed up like George Michael had the famous five o'clock shadow and then they had supermodels that also had the five o'clock shadow like
they were dressed up as men.
This with this guy looks like he looks like a supermodel dressed up like a band.
Like your fingers trip through the door he does almost just the most.
I knew you was the only one for me.
I knew you were the only one for me but really I don't know. one for me. But really, I don't think that's the reason.
So, so wait too!
No, no, no, no! She'd understand. Look.
Oh, I gotta go home now and study and make you proud of me.
Gee, after we're married, this will be my house.
I bring out the dad and the dad.
Yeah, now you gotta bring out the ass tray and you gotta talk to your dad about it.
You gotta talk to your space dad about what to do about the incredibly creepy 22 year old

I really need to talk to you.
I'm sorry dear, I can't right now. I'm busy here a minute. I really need to talk to you.
I'm sorry, dear.
I can't right now.
I'm busy fainting.
I can't believe this.
I can't believe this showed in.
Take off.
It's so hard.
I think I'll have the chocolate moves.
Please, I never want to hear the word
mousse again as long as I live.
Guys driving me crazy.
What's this?
Oh, it's a greeting card who sent me.
I want you close, I want you near,
because we go together like jerky and beer.
What's the picture of?
I want you close, I want you near,
because we go together like jerky and beer.
This is a high school student we're talking about.
I'm profound.
Right. Oh, socket wrench is against the sun's head. This is a high school student we're talking about. Profound. Front.
Oh.
Sock it wrenches against the sunset.
The hallmark's got nothing to worry about.
Do you know that he called me three times this morning?
First, he called to find out if I slept okay.
Then he called to find out if I woke up okay.
Then he called to find out if he was calling too much.
Ah! Which one he uses is Evie Garland. She is. Then he called to find out if he was calling too much
Which one he uses is Evie Garland. Oh
Here comes the mad girlfriend
Yeah, this is like there's a
They have a though. Yeah, what's that like? Yeah, Rizzo they have a problem in this town with really rowdy bikers
And if that police officer dad would just get on it. If he would get out of the strip club and sober up a little bit, maybe he could get rid
of the motorcycle gang that's terrorizing his daughter.
I'm moose-so-lengue.
You're moose's mother?
Gosh, you look so... Young and perky.
A moose's girlfriend.
Thumb. Thumb a little roof.
Thumb a little roof.
Vovalo-roo.
And my boyfriend's moosecock.
And I heard you two were doing the dewey decimal system together.
Please to meet you.
You know, Blondie, last year some chick tried to steal my mousse your way from me.
Really?
Oh, I'd like to meet the girl foolish enough to try something like that.
Sure, check Central Hospital.
I guess she can have visitors by now.
You see these tattoos, Blondie?
This V stands for Velma.
Wow! Oh, man, that's dedication. Who is storyboarding this out? You see these tattoos, Blondie? This V stands for Velma. Wow.
Oh, man, that's dedication.
Who is storyboarding this out?
I like to vote that prestige TV doesn't slow down,
and we continue to put out shows like this.
This is...
There's a V, and there's an M.
There's a V, and there's a...
And there's a...
Yes. A Velma.
What do you think the V, if you didn't know their names,
what would the V stand for?
Well she just said Velma and Moose.
Yeah.
I know it.
And this M stands for Moose.
What about the skull and crossbones?
That's a birthmark.
You know what happens when something comes between Velma and Moose?
You guys sit down and work things out calmly.
We get into a polyamorous relationship that respects everybody's boundaries and
personal sexual likes and dislikes. Bitch!
This happens! Just stay away from him, blonde or rough.
Or else what? Lindsay! Or else this!
I'm gonna throw this! I should just throw the...
She threw the zany...
Later.
Across the room.
Yeah, by the way.
I've seen a couple fights in my life,
and they usually don't target someone else.
Like, it's not like they're angry at one person
and then turn around and show you what they're gonna do to you
with another person.
And again, if that police officer would sober up and get out of the lab dancing mode
that he's in, then maybe he could stop some of this crime going on.
I think she broke my buns.
He meant butt. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa We need a break.
