Chapter 1: What are the origins of the St. Paddy's Day Shenanigans?
It's cold, but there's a tent with heaters. It's a little rainy. Yeah, band playing. I happen to know the guy who's playing. Anyway, it's a whole fucking shit show over there. And we get right to it. We get right to work, as you do when you're in radio promotions. You drink and act like a fool.
Yeah. Just to make sure everything's tasting correctly. Yeah. And that the other customers are having a good time.
You got to make sure that everyone is having a good time. You got to make sure that when you leave, they know that 94.9 The Bull, they party hard there. They believe in the products they're selling.
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 Odley. Best to you, Chris.
Best to you, Brian.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. Hope you survived the St. Patrick's Day melee, although Monday, St. Patrick's Day, certainly helps keep things in check. Does it? No, because I remember a Monday, St.
Patrick's Day where you and I... Ah, it was a Monday.
I turned the red tide green. I turned the, I don't know, the pink tide blue. I'm not sure what I did. But it was a great St. Patrick's Day. It will go down in history, in infamy, if you don't mind, here in some circles.

Chapter 2: How did a radio promo turn into an unforgettable night?
Chrissy and I, that circle.
What we can remember of it.
What we can remember, what we can talk about. It was quite the ordeal.
The later in the day, I don't remember as much, but...
Well, I remember all of it. Well, most of it. I do remember carrying you into a hotel room.
I remember a lot of yingling and shots.
Green, shots, yingling, a lot of yingling, a tent, a hotel room.
We did have the foresight to get a hotel room.
We got it right. So here it is. Chrissy and I are working for the radio station, as we did for many years. Well, not many years. Four years. Three years. It seems like forever. Yeah, you go work in radio and tell me how long it seems like. One day is like five years. It's like interstellar. You know how 1.25 seconds is a day on that planet? Mike's planet or whatever?

Chapter 3: Why was Ari Shaffir's comedy show memorable?
At like 1 in the afternoon.
Well, that's the kind of breakfast you have when you're out drinking. You to 1230, me to 330 watching movies all night long. Anyway, that was a fun one. So I hope you survived your St. Patrick's day. If you got any shenanigans you'd like us to know about, go ahead and text them or call them in. But I thought it was important to start the morning off or start the week off, uh, sharing two things.
Number one, Aaron Weber, great guy, funny comedian. And, uh, he is our TCB infomercial this week. So if you didn't listen, go take a listen to Tuesday's episode with Aaron Weber of the Nate Borgazzi clan up there in Nashville, Tennessee. He's on Nate Lynn podcast. He's on the never ending tour. Uh, he's got a 30 minute special out. That's easy to digest. Really funny, fun for the whole family.
It's relatively clean comedy. You can watch it. Um, You know, with small children who aren't going to understand, like, the nuances of the comedy, as the kids get older, they may catch on to some of the things. I wouldn't call it clean comedy. I think that's the wrong way to say it. He doesn't use traditional cuss words. That's probably the best way to put it. But he's really funny.
He's a great guy to talk to, Aaron Weber. And then all the links in the show notes if you want to go. From Aaron Webber, clean comedy guy, to Ari Shaffir, not clean comedy guy. Let me tell you something. Ari came on the show a couple of weeks ago, and we had so much fun with Ari, and we laughed so hard. He is such a naturally gifted comedian. He's one of these guys.
But you're not going to fully understand the extent to which Ari can make you laugh until you see him on a stage doing his thing. I think even the special does not do him justice. Because two things. We saw Ari on Saturday night. He was nice enough to leave some tickets for us. So we went and we saw it. So number one, great tickets. Thanks, Ari. Really appreciate it.
Number two, I didn't expect Ari to be as physical in his comedy as he was. Like I watched the special and I know he walks around the stage and he uses his body in certain ways.
Yeah.
But he uses his body to great effect. And the microphone as a prop and whatever he's got at his disposal as a prop, he used it to great effect. He is a fantastic storyteller. He really is. And he went on forever, by the way. I expected a 45-minute, 60-minute set.

Chapter 4: What unusual travel experiences do Bryan and Krissy discuss?
Because that was just too convenient that the guy right next to us was like, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. And he laughed at everything. Everything.
Oh, he laughed at everything.
Everything. Or he'd say, well, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Okay, dude, we get it. It's funny. We know. But it was, it was funny.
It was funny.
I had a good laugh. Every minute or so, I had a belly laugh. And yeah, he... Tina came with us. Tina came with us. Tina was there. Some people have written in and said, why isn't Tina on the last few episodes? Tina was always here as in between. She was a stopgap measure. We... Christina was here for a long time. Christina moved on. Tina is always going to be a part of the show.
She helps write some stuff. She helps with content ideas and guest interviews and all that other stuff. So Tina was here physically in the studio because I had set up the studio in such a way that I could not conveniently do it myself. So, you know, Brian, with all his forethought, can't actually get to the things I need to get to in order to make the show work. So now I've bought more equipment.
We have more wires. And now I'm able to do it by myself. So Tina will be in here. We will check in with Tina soon. Don't worry. So I know that there's a lot of upheaval going on at the commercial break and everyone's all worried about it. Don't worry. It's, you know, it's back to Chrissy and I. Everything's fine. Astrid's still here. Tina's still here. Other people are still here. You're here.
Gustavo's here virtually.

Chapter 5: How do Greenland dogs live and work?
Chapter 6: What is the significance of the Tabernacle in Atlanta?
We get to the place a little bit early, grab our tickets, you know, old-style box office go, grab an actual ticket, like an actual ticket, which is amazing. I haven't held a ticket in my hands in years. And we go in and we go downstairs to the Tabernacle Bar, which is underneath the actual venue.
So you walk in and then you can go up the stairs or down the stairs, go up to the venue, down to the bar, you go down to the bar. And in the back, it says $20 off. uh, uh, what do you grind?
You were at the merch stand, right?
The merch stand.
Yeah.
Well, I thought, well, if there's a t-shirt or an album or something, I'll buy it. Cause I didn't pay for the tickets. Let me support Ari in some way, shape or form.
Sure.
But there was no merch hanging on the wall, but it said $20 Venmo at Ari Shafir. And I thought to myself, he really just put his actual Venmo out there. Like his personal Venmo out there. Yes, it was his personal Venmo. And it said, Grindr. So Raphael, being Raphael, thought, oh, he's selling mushrooms. That's what it is. There's mushrooms. We can go buy mushrooms.
So we thought, oh, let's go buy some mushrooms. Is he really selling mushrooms? Okay, let's go buy some. He told stories about drugs and stuff like that on our show. And I know he's told plenty of other stories about doing hallucinogens. Yeah. So I thought, well, maybe he's just ballsy enough to get someone to stand there and actually sell mushrooms.
