Chapter 1: What is WSHIT's Couples Corner and what advice is given for Mindy's relationship crisis?
And welcome back to WSHIT's Couples Corner, where we take listener questions about relationships and bring experts in to help navigate the ups and downs and the ins and outs of love. Mindy writes in, My husband and I were married for 25 happy years, until last Tuesday when I found nude photographs of our nanny and uncovered an affair that's been going on for four years.
Hmm, I'm holding space for that, Mindy. She continues, I sent the photographs around to the PTA email list. Now my husband's living in a Motel 6. I'm taking care of four small children. I think I'm about to get laid off from work. And divorce is right around the corner. Any advice? Well, Mindy, we're really feeling this in our heart chakra.
So we tapped into Source and put out a call to the light beings. And we were blessed.
with a response dr franella lunden pop from the united kingdom is an expert on holistic healing for couples and families we dialed her up told her your story and here's the response she had for you have you got your minge around the tree recently because i'm gonna vouch for this this is one of the most healing things that you can do all you need a tree
and a minge. Now we just need to get off a sort of very comfortable position there. Arms right round. Give it a big squeeze. I highly recommend it. Foon shit. Minge on a tree. Feeling sad? Minge on a tree. Feeling happy? Minge on a goddamn tree. Serves so many purposes. I thoroughly, thoroughly recommend it. Get down to the forest now and get your goddamn minge on a tree.
Wow, such powerful and authentic advice. Mindy, ride a tree. Save a marriage. We'll be back after this commercial break.

Chapter 2: Who is Mick Jagger and what is Bryan's personal experience with him?
Mick Jagger was the nicest, nicest guy you could have imagined. I mean, he really was. Generous to a fault. Love that. Nicest he could be. Talking to everybody. Anybody that wanted to have a conversation, he stood for a minute.
Giving out gift cards to Mick's.
Giving out gift cards to Mick's to Chrissy's version of Mick's, which is Mick Jagger's. 17 locations throughout the Atlanta area. It's franchised.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene, this is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us. The other day we were talking about Mix, which you mistakenly had thought that it was Mick Jagger's restaurant. It was not Mick Jagger's restaurant, but I can kind of see how you might have thought that. Got it all twingle twangled in your head.
Though I did find a notable mention about Mick Jagger here in Atlanta and that Mick spent quite a bit of time here in Atlanta. He lived here for a period of time. He filmed a movie here. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was like some sci-fi, futuristic sci-fi movie. What was that called? A Night Run? Something like that. Anyway, he's the star of the movie. It's terrible.
I've seen it, but it's filmed here in Atlanta. So for a period of time, Mick Jagger and Atlanta were kind of a thing.

Chapter 3: What is the story behind the confusion between Mix restaurant and Mick Jagger's involvement?
Co-mingling.
We were co-mingling. But I got to thinking about Mix and that restaurant, and I got to looking back at pictures about that restaurant. And what I realized after we got done recording that episode was not only do I know Mix, not only had I been to Mix, not only did I remember the whole Mix situation... But I went there for homecoming.
Yes, it was like one of those kind of places.
Yes. You know, for years, you know, you get a little older, a little longer in the tooth. And memories sometimes become like cartoons. They're little snapshots. You remember certain things, but it's not crystal clear. Everything is not crystal clear. You'll learn this as you get older, kids. It's not all crystal clear, fun, shits and giggles.
It's almost like a dream-like thing that you're just remembering.
And I remember... Especially like high school memories.
Oh, God, high school. That seems 10 lifetimes away. 10 lifetimes ago. But I remember calling the limousine company. Yeah. I remember picking up the white pages, which the white pages kids was an actual phone book where they had phone numbers listed for businesses and people. Well, excuse me, the yellow pages was for the businesses. The white pages was for the people.
So I picked up the yellow pages. And I looked up limousine and I remember calling the limousines. I was in charge. I remember calling the limos, arranging the limousine and then getting the limousine to pick us up. And me and the girl that I took to homecoming, Brooke, who I'm still friendly with to this day, beautiful young lady. We went to where?
Mix.

Chapter 4: How did Bryan end up side-stage at a Rolling Stones concert?
What's going on? What movie? This is long before Atlanta was like the movie capital.
Yeah, now it's every other day I get that notice.
Yeah. I know. It's like, yeah, that's just a common thing now. No, he won't tell us. He's not budging. He's not saying a word. He literally drops it off and he's out the door before we have a chance to really grill him. And so then all the tenants of this office, like these other tenants in the office, we're all like getting together. We are Googling because that's what we do.
You know, who's in town? What movie is filming? Can't find anything else about it. But the only thing that we do find is that at the Georgia Dome, at the time the Georgia Dome, playing that weekend, this is a Rolling Stones.
Does this involve you smoking a cigarette?
What's that? Does this involve you smoking a cigarette? Smoking a cigarette and meeting Keith Richards.
Yes, I knew it.
You've heard this story. You've heard all my stories, so I'm just sharing it with the audience now. You have to suffer twice through it, but they only have to suffer once.
That's okay. I like it again. So...

Chapter 5: Who are the key people Bryan met during the Rolling Stones filming in Atlanta?
And he goes, so much time to kill. That's what he said. He goes, so much time to kill. I wanted to stay, but I'm leaving out the door. What can I do? Just turn around and sit there and watch this. I look like I've, I don't, the guy's not, I don't even know if the guy's famous, but he looks to be famous. Like, I think he must be famous.
Yeah, yeah. He had the air.
He had the air of femininity. Femininity. Femininity. Femininity.
Mm.
So I go back out. Now I'm smoking another cigarette. Now I'm like killing myself double time with cigarettes because now I don't want to leave. Now I'm like I'm caught up in the action.
Bad food, cigarettes. Yes.
Terrible food that I'm not eating. 15 cigarettes. It's not even 830 in the morning. I've got no work done. Zero work. My boss is pissed, but he understands, right? They don't smoke, but they're also coming up and down the stairs and checking it out. So I'm standing there. Guy comes out. No food in hand. Nothing, right?
Comes out five, ten minutes later, and he walks into the trailer, and he grabs Mick Jagger, and the two of them go down to the shoe store.
Okay.

Chapter 6: What was the atmosphere like during the Rolling Stones filming and Bryan's interaction with Mick Jagger?
I've seen that and heard that. He's really friendly. They just were in town a couple years ago. Mick was about town.
Yeah.
It was like at the Claremont Lounge and popping up here, there, everywhere, taking pictures.
The most amazing thing about this whole day, that, by the way, went on for two days. Like, this all went on for two days. Mick and Keith were there. I have a really crazy story about Keith Richards, but I don't know if I'm going to share it on air, because I don't know if I should. But...
But the craziest thing was, is that so Mick goes and he records whatever he's doing, you know, blocking, camera blocking or whatever. This goes on for a couple of hours. And now it's like seven o'clock at night and I'm still there. And my wife is wondering where I am. But the lights and the rain machine, it's all very exciting to me. And I've been hanging around now with this guitar tech.
And the guitar tech says, you know, listen, if you want to go to the show, I got a couple tickets. I can certainly get you a couple tickets if you want to go to the show. I'm thinking, this is amazing. When Mick comes out at one point, he's over there and he's talking, him and the boy and the guy, and they're talking to the guitar tech. And I'm standing close.
And the guitar tech says, I think we're going to get him to come to the show. And Mick says, well, great. We'll treat him right then. Treat him right. Make sure he's sitting close. And he goes, yeah. The guitar tech goes, yeah, you mean like close, close? And he says, on stage close. And I was like, on stage close? Yes. Because that's where the rich people sit is on stage.
Oh, yeah.
Rich people don't sit out in the crowd. Not Brian Greene. No, sorry, Bob.

Chapter 7: What unique insights does Bryan share about Mick Jagger's personality and generosity?
Oh, God. Dang, it's on the tip of my tongue. We were just talking about them. Oh, we were just. I think the other day.
Little Miss, Little Miss, Little Miss Campyron. Spin Doctors.
Spin Doctors.
The best part about this was is that the guitar tech was like good friends with the spin doctors who also happened to be in town. And I went to the spin doctors concert. And let me tell you something. While the Rolling Stones were great, the spin doctors are where the party is at.
Oh, yeah.
guy is crazy really that dude is crazy i don't even know if i should tell that i mean that story is insane but the spin doctors know how to party that's all i gotta say the rolling stones you're probably likely not going to get to party with them no spin doctors anybody it's all welcome yeah when you're a one-hit wonder and your days of long since passed and you're just hoping to sell tickets
Share the drugs. That's all I got to say. Share the drugs. All right. Hey, listen, we might talk to some listeners. Let's see if we can get them on the phone.

Chapter 8: How do Spin Doctors compare to the Rolling Stones according to Bryan?
That's a hard one to get out of your head.
That was an interesting song, and it was an earworm that just went... Like, you know, 1990s viral, which meant that they played it every 15 fucking minutes on the radio. It didn't stop. The spin doctors were everywhere. And for the life of me, cannot remember another song that they sang. Not one song that they sang. But this whole conversation reminds me that I wanted to share something with you.
See if there's another song.
Yeah, that's what I was just going to look up. Probably. There probably was at least one more.
Well, yeah, all one-hit wonders have that other song, right? The other song that almost was as famous because gravity kind of pulled them along with it, right? So it's like, I don't know. It's just one of those things. Okay, hold on.
Pocket Full of Kryptonite.
Pocket Full of Kryptonite. Now it's the same song.
Pocket Full of Kryptonite was the name of the album.
Okay.
