Chapter 1: What are Bryan's holiday grievances?
It does. I can't take it.
I've been in the car with you. I just can't take it. I hate the Christmas season for... Excuse me. Let me repeat that. I love the Christmas season, but I dislike being on the roads during the Christmas season. Because it seems like every nudnik who got their...
fucking license on the back of a cereal box is out there driving around trying to find uh gifts for their great grandson and they get in front of me and i go crazy crazy either that or it's the soccer dad who thinks he's the police officer of the neighborhood so he's gonna drive exactly 33 miles per hour in a 35 zone to make you slow down young man I got places to go, and there's 75 children.
And then I seem to be living in the land of Tesla trucks up here, and it's driving me bananas. I can't take it.
There are so many Tesla trucks where I live. So many Tesla trucks.
And they all, all of them seem to be driving like assholes. Why are you driving a Tesla truck in the middle of north suburbs in Atlanta? There's no good reason. Never ever has a tool been in the back of that truck and never will be. Why are you driving it? What? What are we doing? You're driving a refrigerator around my town. Stop it. Is there an ice maker in that thing? I don't know.
OK, listen, I get it. Some people think it's a cool car and it has nothing to do with politics and they don't care about Elon Musk. They just think it's a cool car. OK, God bless you. I'm not saying you shouldn't ever own a Tesla truck because Elon Musk or politics or whatever. But honestly, can you drive like a fucking human being?
Take it off auto driver, whatever is going on, because those Tesla trucks, anytime I get behind one to the side of one or in the front of one, someone is always driving rather erratically.
in those things and i think it's because they can't see because there's no right angles in the car it's perpendicular angles everywhere 50 feet off the ground there are 75 different window shades and colorings and angles how do you see out of that thing i guess it's got magic cameras that keeps it on the road or something whatever just stop it stop it

Chapter 2: Why does Bryan dislike driving during the holidays?
Oh, yeah. The smooth sounds of Smokey Robinson's Christmas Channel on Sirius. You'll hear hits like chasms.
The worst part is this is actually a good groove.
It is.
I know. Here it comes. Ready? Oh, no, that's not it. It's coming. Nothing like a French horn to get things settled in. You know what I'm saying, Chris?
I mean, I get into the music part of it.
I can't help it. When I look at you, it makes me feel better than good.
When I look at you, it makes me feel better than good.
And what I see is you and me together forever. I'm knocking on wood.
What?

Chapter 3: What is Bryan's opinion on Tesla trucks?
I know, the last years, which is the entirety of the commercial break. Howard Stern's was like two weeks long. It was like literally 28 hours or something like that. Ours would be 28 minutes.
I like it. Yeah.
Well, hey, listen, give the listeners a break from just hearing the regular, hearing us. Here's the challenge, Christina. Make the life of the commercial break using none of our voice. Everybody else just talking about it. I don't think you could find people to fill 28 minutes talking about the commercial break. All right, we've gone so long. Let's take a break. We'll be back.
In case you guys were wondering, I am currently trapped in the closet in the studio being forced to record liner after liner and I never get to leave. So help me by following us on Instagram at thecommercialbreak and on TikTok at tcbpodcast and go to our website tcbpodcast.com for more information about Brian and Chrissy and access to our massive catalog of video and audio episodes.
Now please text us at 212-433-3TCB and tell Brian and Chrissy to let me out of the closet.
I'm Emma Greed and I've spent the last 20 years building, running and investing in some incredible businesses. I've co-founded a multi-billion dollar unicorn and had my hand in several other companies that have generated hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. The more success I've had, the more people started coming to me with questions. How do you start a business? How do you raise money?
How do I bounce back from failure? So it got me thinking, why not just ask the people I aspire to the most? How do they actually do what they do? I'm so incredibly lucky to know some of the smartest minds out there. And now I'm bringing their insights along with mine unfiltered directly to you.
On my new podcast, Aspire With Emma Greed, I'll dive into the big questions everyone wants to know about success in business and in life. Through weekly conversations, you'll get the tangible tools, the real no BS stories and undeniable little hacks that actually help you level up. Listen to and follow Aspire With Emma Greed and Odyssey podcast available now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Okay. All right. A little housekeeping here. I know that Christina probably just said it to you during the commercial break, but we'll say it again. All episodes of the commercial break now available on YouTube and soon on Spotify video. So there are some peppered in their videos on Spotify if you're interested in watching that. But soon, Chrissy and I will have all of the videos on YouTube.

Chapter 5: What does Bryan remember about his time at McDonald's?
And you can just tell this is she's a Brian. She's her dad made her go get a job or she's working on her own volition or whatever to make a little bit of extra cash. Here she is, you know, serving food out the window just like I was back then. And then I hear that fucking frying machine. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I'm like a Pavlovian dog. Something turns in my head.
And I'm like, get those fries. Get those fries. You got to get those fries. The fries are going to burn. Get those fries. Put them in there and shake that salt while they're still hot. You better do that, right? Not too much salt. Just a little bit of salt. Not too much. I'm like, all of a sudden, I turn into like a McDonald's employee. I'm not saying that to her, but I'm thinking it to myself.
Yeah, yeah. And one of my kids is like, what's that beeping noise? And I go, that's the fry machine. And if they don't pick those fries up, they're going to burn and they're going to have to throw them away. And that's waste. You don't want to waste. I'm like working at McDonald's again. I swear to God. It was crazy how it happened. It came back to you. It came back because of that fry machine.
I would hear that beeping noise in my head at night.
You probably got a whiff, too, of the smell. Oh, yeah. And that's definitely associated with memory.
Yes, absolutely. I could smell those French fries in the pool place because they opened a vent to release some of that hot air. They have like this auto vent and that fry thing comes. And even one of my kids who was like waiting on his turn to go in the pool, he was like, Daddy, I smell French fries. Yeah, I smell McDonald's. And I was like, that's it. It's right next door.
It must be terrible for those people in there. To have McDonald's right next door is real temptation if you're so inclined. So I'm just like, now I'm Pavlovian dog hearing that beeping noise, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And now I'm remembering that for years, I could not get that sound out of my head.
And if I heard it, I would be like be working the front counter on a Saturday morning in the 90s. McDonald's is everything. It's in suburbia. And everybody and their mother goes to McDonald's on a Saturday in suburbia to go get their value meal or whatever lines out the door. Not even kidding. Four or five, six cash registers in the front. Oh, it was insane. And this would just go on for hours.
It would start at 11 a.m. and it would go on for hours. And there was a breakfast rush at 8 a.m. Right. Whatever. And if you heard that noise. The management beat it into your head. If you didn't have a person specifically working the french fry area, it'd be like, get those fries. Don't let them burn. That's waste. We can't waste. Waste is killing us. Food costs is going through the roof.
