Chapter 1: Why is the Super Bowl considered uneventful?
Oh, yeah, cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show, Kristen Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Kristen.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us on a Tuesday after the Super Bowl. One of the most uneventful Super Bowls in history. I mean, eventful in the sense that it happened and there were commercials.
It was weird.
And Kendrick Lamar was there. And so was Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. We'll get into all of that tomorrow in detail. But wow, what a blowout.
I mean, it was zero.
The Philadelphia Eagles. Manhandled Patrick Mahomes. They did. Manhandled Mahomes. Probably the best quarterback certainly of our, you know, in this time period. Shocking. It really was. I don't know the first fucking thing about football and I was shocked.
Totally shocked.
During the second quarter, I was like, well, this is over, I guess. I guess we're just going to all sit here and watch the Eagles. It honestly looked like a high school team playing a flag football team. It was unbelievable how the Eagles tore them apart in every aspect of the game. What do they have, like 100 yards of total offense or something like that?

I'll talk to him. I'll be back in two to three hours. We're going to go to the bathroom together.
you didn't know what cocaine was and you're like why is everyone's bladder so small everyone just keeps getting up I've been to those parties yeah before you knew what it was only parties I went to for a long time right yeah I was a manager at a bar and you would it was just clear as day if you knew what to look for and I did because it takes one to know one right if you knew what to look for you would know and then of course you always had the local dealer you know the guy that sits
They sit at the bar. They sit at the bar and you just kind of keep them in check a little bit. You're like, hey, don't be so obvious about it, you know, because it's good for business. Yeah, be less obvious about your cocaine. We talked to Steve O. It was like a couple, I don't know, a year, year and a half ago.
And Steve was telling us that when he was getting high, he had a night with Mike Tyson where they did two eight balls of cocaine. They sat in a Las Vegas bar.
bathroom for four hours eight balls of cocaine him and mike tyson he told this story and for like five minutes i didn't say a word my jaw was on the floor i was like think about being in a room coked up with a certified killer a small room and i know mike see you know he seems now like a very self-reflective smart you know empathetic human being but there was a time this is hope mike

Chapter 3: What to expect from Bill Murray's Blood Brothers concert?
Yeah. Well, we didn't talk about politics for four, five years almost. Then we said the word and then the election came and we felt that it was just like too big of a story to ignore. We had to say something, but we didn't bash anybody. We just said, you know, Trump's
president and even though he wasn't our choice uh we wish we hope that everything goes well and you would not believe that within a heartbeat we had reviews of people we're not i'm never listening to you again you bash trump and it's like i didn't bash trump that's not what i did i just said that he wasn't my choice but yeah so everyone's this round up like it's it's crazy i don't think you can change it you want to change it you can't change i think you just gotta focus on yourself and just be like you know the starfish thing no what's that those two guys walking on the beach and um
Let's make it a guy and girl so we can be inclusive today. It's a guy and a girl walking on the beach. And there's like a thousand starfish washed up from the high tide. They're all going to die, you know, because they're not in the water. Yeah. And it was like, this is weird. And so then one guy picks up one of the starfish and he like throws it back in the water.
um and then they kind of walk inside and the girl's like what's that gonna do that's like it's not gonna make a dent and all these starfish yeah die and he goes what's gonna matter for that one starfish yeah that's true yeah you're right yeah so it's like you just gotta focus on yourself when everyone's doing that just go okay how can i reach across an aisle how can i just focus on something positive i i mean it's like it's kind of easy it's a five days on vacation one day rained
All right, I learned a new card game where we're stuck inside. That's fun. All of Modest Mouse music is this. It's just focusing on the positive part. And then your mental state is pretty nice. Instead of going, look at that Trump flag on that house, go, wow, look at that deck they built on that house.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Focus on something different.
Uh-oh. Ari's getting to me.

Chapter 4: Is Yahoo making a comeback in 2025?
Like if he's going on a big travel expedition. Exactly.
I wish him... Good for him. That sounds fun. When I saw that he was taking a break, when I listened to his podcast, and then I kind of put two and two together... Which is called You Be Trippin'. You Be Trippin', yeah. When I saw that he was taking a break, the first thing that I thought was, oh, I hope there's no health issues or anything like that.
I hope he's not taking off because there's something that he needs to go do health-wise. But by all indications, he's just going to... Do it. Soak it all up. Enjoy life. And he's right. He's right about this. You should do that before you get to the villages, not after you get to the villages.
Because there are so many times that I'm traveling and with older people or I see older people and they're not having the time of it that they could have had had they done this 30 years earlier. That's not no knock on them. It's just like... He's right. I don't want to be that person.
I would rather do it now, have the memories, and then do what I can when I get older than wish that I had done all of that and trying to do it as I get older. Ari Schaefer, very funny. All the information in the show notes as it always is. Thank you very much for coming in, Ari. We certainly do appreciate it. Yeah. AriShafer.com, America's sweetheart.

62.
I was in the bathroom and the woman was talking about her cataract.
Yeah. I was like, oh.
Things have changed. Times have changed.
