Transcript of The Thrusting Nature of Man

As a librarian, I get frustrated and angry when I don't have the resources I need to help people find the information they want. Well, I never in all my life.

Ma'am, ma'am. I came in here to find out.

Something about this surgery my doctor wants to do on my heart.

Well, I know you're upset and you're scared about this angioplasty procedure, but we just don't seem to have anything on clogged arteries and balloon surgeries. I'm sorry. On this episode of the commercial Break, the Washington Monument. Thrusting nature of man. The Eiffel Tower. Thrusting, penetrating nature of man. The space station, basically a big penis, a big heart, erect penis in the space. Skydehe the next episode of the commercial break starts now. So 30 in the morning. 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 Oatley. Best to you, Chris Ann. Best to you, Brian. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. Here we are. I wanted to say this really quickly. Pretty soon you're gonna hear the second coming of Jon Zahn and of Reggie Watts here on the commercial break.

Oh, right.

And so he just announced, just like today, he just announced that he'll be going on tour next year. Fairly extensive tour. I think it's like 1618 cities, something like that. So if you get a chance, go check out Reggie. Tickets are available now. We love Reggie.

He's so interesting.

He's so interesting. If you want to see an interesting comedy show, like, you know, not the, you know, callback response. Punchline setup. Punchline. There are some that some comedians out there who are doing this really well, just being unique. And Reggie is the unique of the uniques. I think, in my opinion, doing it right now, it'll be music, it'll be comedy, it'll be shenanigans. Reggie watts. Tickets are on sale, so go check it out. And then you'll hear his second interview with us. Maybe next week or maybe you already heard it this week. I don't know. Who knows? Because we are recording in bundles so that we can take some time off. Chrissy's going to Mempho. I am getting surgery, so we're gonna be taking some time off. I'm gonna be getting that hyperparathyroid taken out. Chrissy? Yeah. Did I tell you that, that they sent me a link to the video?

Yes, I did.

Yeah.

And you said you shouldn't have watched that video.

I should not have watched that video. Should not have watched that video. Cause now I go to sleep, like, right before I go to sleep, you know, like that little phase where you're, like, in and out of it a little bit. All I can see is my neck being slid open, and it doesn't feel good. That's not a feeling anybody wants.

No.

But, I mean, the good news is.

The best of care, I am in.

The best of hands, literally. Astrid will be doing this with sterilized silverware. So it's going to be. It's going to be for the whole family.

Yeah. It's a whole family affair.

It's a whole family affair. That's what it is.

Gavel knife.

I started watching spatula. Spatula. I don't like anyway. I don't like it because this is going to eat me up. Tongs, thongs. Hand me that t shirt. He's bleeding. Stuff it in there. I started watching Shogun, and.

Which is amazing. I love that show.

Did you watch it?

Yeah.

You did? Okay. I'm, like, through the most of the first episode.

Yeah.

It's not necessarily my thing. I don't love period pieces. It's not my thing. But I do have to say I'm impressed. So far. It's been interesting.

It took me a little while to, like, really get into, like, go through the first two show.

Two. Two episodes. Oh, I'm in now.

Like, I'm gonna go want just more and more. More, more.

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do it. And there's, what, ten episodes all together.

Great story to it.

Yeah. Oh, it's like, it's. It just takes a while to get into the character.

They kind of give you a lot of back story to start with, I think. But I know the story itself starts to come together.

I will have to say if we're gonna do a period piece. Japan.

Yeah.

In the 14 hundreds through 16 hundreds is a cool period to look at, because it's just. They just. It's so different from our culture and. Yeah, I absolutely like, in the first episode, I mean, I don't think I'm giving too much away here, but in the first episode, the one guy speaks out of turn, and then they kill his child. Or he offers to kill his child because he spoke out of turn.

Yeah.

And it's like, how fucked up is that? I mean, just absolutely fucked up. And then there's some cuckolding in the first episode, which, you know, I like a good cuckold. So there you go. Yeah. If I'm gonna cuckold, let it be on tv. That's all I gotta say. And so, shogun, very interesting. And I'll keep you posted on. On what's going on because we got to talk about it now. I'm the last person to watch it, just like I'll be the very last person to ever to watch the bear because Astrid and I have agreed to watch it together, which means that'll never happen.

I know. Jeff and I have a couple of those where we. We don't watch without the other one. And they've been on hold now for a while.

It's hard.

It is.

It's hard. But because, you know, stupid. Here's why it. Pretty much all of my nights are taken up right now is because we keep our data here on a hard drive, what would probably be more aptly referred to as a server. It's got a lot of space and capacity.

It's our own personal cloud.

It's our own personal cloud. I have it right here in my house. And it's expensive. And it's expensive to house data. And so I got these guys up at this computer store. I'll give them a shout out. Peach tree computers. If you're anywhere near the area. I think they have a couple locations in Atlanta. So I take my. I go up there like the novice idiot, dum dum that I always am, and I'm running out of space on the one server that's got 18 terabytes worth of information. We've been doing the show for a long time. We have a lot of episodes. We keep everything. Why? I don't know. Because I'm hoarding it like Dick Tracy stuff, hoping that it'll be worth something someday, but probably not. I'm probably just keeping way too much of this. But anyway, I go up there and I go, hey, hey, you smart guy. I got this thing, and it's, you know, it's running out of space. And I got a. I got a new one that's got more space and how do I do it? And he's taking me through all these words that I don't know. And I'm just, shit.

I'm nodding my head as if I know exactly what's going on. He's like, you got to use that. You can use the HDD or the STD, and then you get the hard drive, and then you're going to do a hot swap. And Kipling son, hot swapped to me, and I was like, hot swap? Yeah, hot swap. And then he was like, you know, I don't know, redundant. Raid five, raid six, raid two. HSD, CSd, Ddd. You know you got it. Your ports, right? Make sure your port is 55001, not 6281. You know, all this other stuff. Hyper backup. Make sure you do the hyper. And I'm like, okay, okay. I'm like typing things down. And I'm like, great, thank you. And he goes, because if I do it, I'm going to just charge you for my time. And this is going to take a lot of time. You got 18 terabytes worth of information. It's probably going to take a couple days. And I was like, oh, a couple days? Okay, all right, I'll pay for your time. He's like, listen, you can do this. It's really easy. You literally have a program that comes with that server that makes it like, idiot proof.

You're going to be able to do it. And I was like, okay. So I come in here, I set it all up. I'm actually putting hard drives into the server. I don't know really what I'm doing, but I'm just following the instructions. And then I plug it in and I turn it on and it zips up and it goes, oh, yeah, do you want to do this? Sure, yeah. Next step, next step, next step. And then I start getting into some of the more complicated things, but I refer to my notes and I'm like, okay, I got it. Perfect. And I keep on thinking to myself, I keep on hearing what he said, couple of days. It'll take a couple of days to move that idiot proof. Idiot proof. Couple of days, you can do it. And I'm like, I got this, Brian. I'm patting myself on the back. I'm like, you got this. Look, you set it up, it's running. It actually turned on. There's a page where you have information. Like, this is great, Chrissy. I am now on day number 13 of moving the data from one to the other because the hot swap, hot swap.

I forgot about the hot swap part. So I'm now transferring file by file from one server over to the other.

File by file.

Chrissy, I called him. I said I didn't do it, dude, something's gone wrong. I tried to put it. I did the thing and that you told me to do. And he's like, did you do the hot swap? And I'm like, no, I didn't do. I forgot about the hot swap. They didn't tell me to do the hot swap. And he's like, oh, oh, yeah, that's a whole different animal now. Well, you got to do this and do that. And he walked me through like, you're in it now.

You can't go back and hot swap.

I can't hot swap now. If I hot swap, it's going to be 13 more days just to get to a point where I can hot swap. I got to now erase all the data and then make sure it's.

You're on the journey now.

Yeah, yeah. But the thing that he told me that was really smart and I probably should have done gears ago is he's like, listen, go to this website and start backing up all your data onto a separate cloud because these things break. And if it breaks, you're going to be very sad that you can't get at that information. And I'm like, okay. And he's like, make sure you do raid 6.7.35 so that if one works, it doesn't, the other one crashes, and then you have one that works. And I'm like, okay, whatever. So he's walking me through this, and so I say on the guy, I go, I do, dude, just let me bring it up there and can you just make it go? And he's like, no, I can't make it go. You've, you've done something you can't undo now. And then I think, I think I'm smarter than him. So I go, listen, what if I, what if I do this? I have 60 terabytes on this new server, this new Nas. What if I was to, like, put the new information on there and then I erase the other hard drives and then I put them in there and then I've got this whole new pool of information.

I got off at like 80 terabytes that I can do whatever I want with. And he's like, it doesn't work that way. And I was like, you've been hearing.

That a couple of times.

He keeps on saying this to me. He goes, and he's so nice about it. He's like, I hear you, but it doesn't work that way. He's like, it doesn't work the way you think about it. This is not like your pool where you just a little bit of this water in, water out, drop this in, drop that in, hope it works out. Come back a couple days later, put more stuff in, take more stuff out. I've been trying so hard to get this right, and I just fucked it all up. Now the good news is the information's there because I smartly backed it up like he told me to. But, you know, it's just a whole complicated, confusing mess. I'm not built for this kind of stuff. Like, I know about trolling on the Internet. I can Google. That's what I'm good at. That I can flip my finger up and down on the toilet a couple times in a day. What I'm not built for is, like, SSD's and HDD's and hard drives and SATA and rata and raid five and hd one and all this. It's all very complicated to me anyway, and I don't understand why it can't work more common sensely.

Like, if I have 80 terabytes of information, shouldn't I be able to use all or 80 terabytes of space, of hard drive space, shouldn't I be able to use all 80 terabytes? Nay says the guy at the computer store. He says, you have to do raid six, because if you do raid. I don't know what raid six is. Why can I do raid one? He says, because then if one of the drives breaks, then you're fucked. So you have to pool all your information together, use raid six, and it keeps copies on the other ones. And I was like, well, that doesn't make any sense. Why not just keep it on one? What if it breaks? And I said, what if I got a backup on the cloud out there? He goes, yeah, but then you. Then, you know, what if the. What if the backup on the cloud doesn't work? And I'm like, we're asking about a lot of hypothetical scenarios that all sound very terrible happening at the exact same day. Like, can't we just pretend like everything's gonna work out? He's like, I have a feeling you've been pretending a lot of things are gonna work out.

I was like, it's kind of a pattern in my life. Yes.

I have a feeling you've been pretending.

Hot swap. Bitcoin. Bitcoin. Oh, my gosh. So, honestly, I'm about as smart with servers as Trump is with bitcoin. I go in, and I say all these words, and the guy's like, I don't even know what you're talking about.

Right?

We are literally talking two different languages. And at that computer store, everyone's really nice. At least the one I go to, it's a little, tiny, little one. And they got a couple of used computers out front, hard drives and stuff like that you could buy. And then they got a little desk, and then they got a whole office area in the back, which just seems like just a bunch of college kids in 30 somethings back there, you know, eating Doritos.

Seems like it is.

That's what it is. That's what it is, right? It seems like if you know about this kind of stuff, that's a great job to have you go there, hang out with your friends, look at other people's nudes. You know what I'm saying? Look at other people's nudes. That's what you do, right?

It's like the old film developing.

Uh huh. It's like those geek squad guys when they had geek squad, which I now think is whatever, best buy help or whatever it is.

Oh, they changed the name.

Maybe there's geek squad. I don't have a best buy in so many years, so much time. I mean, I go to branding that.

I think it's still geek squad.

Is it? And they'll come to your house and do shit like, yeah, they do.

We've used them.

Thank God for those people, but we've.

Used them to hook up our tvs and that kind of thing.

Yeah, I've used it. I've used services, I don't know if it's been geek squad, but I've used services similar to geek squad to do. To do that stuff. I had a guyenne, well, he was like a studio pro, came in and helped us with this studio because I couldn't get any of it right. I had wires going everywhere and he kind of helped me. Well, now I got wires going everywhere again. It's been a good year since he's been here. So if you remember in the early days of like, the iPhone, the iPhone wasn't the most reliable thing in the world. Oftentimes it could get stuck or the wheel of death or whatever. It was a brand new technology, and so you'd have to bring it to the geek squad or Apple or whoever, and they say, oh, give me your password, leave it here. Right? And that was like, to me, that was the scariest thing in the world. Like, oh, shit, he's gonna read all my text messages. He's gonna look at all my photographs. You're supposed to just trust that the 22 year old kid who's gonna take your phone for the next day is not gonna look at any of your more salacious shit.

If I was sensitive, yeah, sensitive information. Take screenshots and send it to his friends. Like, if I was in that position, I'm sorry, but curiosity got the cat, I'd be like, you know what? I'm saying, I think that's how a lot of these. What? Someone just got upset. I said, curiosity got the cat, and it sounded like a cat was dying. Maybe that's one of my daughters calling back. But do you know what I'm saying? Like, when you leave that stuff, you leave your computer.

Yeah. There's a little sense of like, okay, well, it is what it is.

Yeah, it is what it is.

You're either getting it fixed or not.

I'm gonna have to trust that there's some.

The pain of it not being fixed overweighs the sensitivity.

Yes. I'm gonna have to trust that there's some sense that there's some special oath that they take. I shall not look at nudes from someone else's phone. You know, kind of like jurisprudence or something like that. Something out there in the hippocratic oath that they take for the geek squad. Like, the geek squad. I was like, I shall not look at nudes. But, you know, they do. You know, they do. They must. Come on. They're just human. It's like those photo developers.

That's what I was saying. Like the old film developer.

Yeah, you leave it at you. Jesus, those film developer guys. I actually knew somebody. I worked at a. At a restaurant, and there was an older lady that worked there, and she was a film developer.

She was probably 30.

Yeah, yeah. I say old. She was 32. But she was alive during film development. You know, she worked out one of those, like, little shacks, you know, kodak Shack or whatever it was. And she told me, she's like, oh, yeah. I mean, you had to look at the pictures because you printed them out. In some cases, you developed them. You would actually put them in the solution. Do it yourself, depending on where you work. She's like, you could not look at them. And she. She told me there was all kind of shit. All kind of shit. And she was like, but we did have a code of ethics, that. Code of ethics. Washington. If you saw something like a murder, you'd have to call the. You'd have to call, you know, your higher up, your manager, whatever. There had to be a decision making process going. And I'm like, yeah, I guess so. You know, I wish we still had those developing places. I don't know why. It just always made me feel good when I drove by one of those little Kodak shacks. I still remember the last Kodak shack I ever went to.

Oh, wow.

In San Diego.

I like the anticipation. Kind of like, you dropped it off. You hoped you'd taken some good ones. And you get them back.

Yeah. They could be funny, those little disposable cameras that. What do you do now? I mean, I'm sure there must be play, like, you can go to CV's and get photos to live in. Yeah.

I mean, I know for a while, that was what people were doing at weddings, too.

We did it.

You did.

We still have those cameras. We've never had them developed. We should do that. Honestly, that's.

Oh, my God.

I actually.

Ten years ago.

I know. And I actually still have five cameras that I don't know when they're from. I have no idea. But they are out of film. They're at zero. Zero pictures available. Yeah.

Get it. Get it developed.

I should. Well, I'm afraid now that I'm married, about getting those developed, that you know what's really on those photos, or at.

Least the ones from the wedding.

Yeah. One time I. One time you'll know who. I'm not gonna say the name out loud, but someone was living with me, and they found some of these cameras that I had because I just had a habit of, like, I had the disposable cameras, and then I'd throw them, and I never would get them developed. It was. I don't know why. I just didn't.

You just would drive by the shack? Not actually used to.

Yes, yes, yes. I was like, well, I took the picture. I don't need to look at it again. I was there, and the girl that I was living with, dating for a very short period of time, she actually found two of them in a drawer that, when she was cleaning out, and she took them and got them developed, and she did not like what was on those levels on. And I never remembered the. I never remembered the night I took those. I was like, oh, my God. Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. Give me those photographs.

Thanks for getting them done.

Don't you have to go somewhere? I'll be in the bathroom. All right. I don't know how we got on this topic, but anyway, Jean Zahn is one of our newest favorite pickup artists at the 21 convention. Last episode, we got through some of his rambling, and he's a benevolent patriarch. He's a benevolent patriarch.

Godfather, if you will.

The godfather of the seduction community.

A rocking chair enthusiast.

He loves to get a rocking chair. And who doesn't, right? But anyway, so we were going through. We just got through 20 minutes of his video. We didn't understand a fucking word the guy was saying. So why not go through another 20 minutes so we can be more confused.

Let's just see if he's got something of note.

Let's see if this heads in a direction. Let's see. He told us he wasn't prepared. He told us right at the beginning, I didn't prepare anything. Never prepared anything. Have no PowerPoint, never prepared a speech. Let's see if he can pull it all together. Now I'm rooting for Zaun. Can he make a point? It's a question, one that we understand. Can he make a point? Can he make a point? And I don't mean like in the basket. I mean can he actually make a.

Well, so far he has told us how much he loves his daughter, his daughter and his girlfriend. And he married his niece. And he. The beloved. You're missing saying the beloved, calling each.

Other no good news right now that you can find on earth, except for people calling each other beloved. What? Or date night.

So.

So let's.

He's not actually saying how you get to your beloved.

He's. Yeah, it's all confusing. Go listen to the other episode if you really can't he make a point? That's. That's goal for episode number two as Jean's on is. Can he make a fucking point? We'll find out after these messages.

My name's Jack Wagner, host of otherworld, a podcast featuring real people who experience something paranormal, supernatural, or unexplained. I have no idea how I got there.

I don't think I've ever seen anything.

That looks like this.

It felt like electric stars on fire.

I started otherworld to take a grounded approach to the paranormal, help people tell their own stories, and encourage more to come forward. I certainly don't have the answers, but maybe one day we will. Join me as we explore our world's greatest mysteries. Listen to otherworld now for free on the Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. Jean Zahn, 21 convention, 2022 or 2023. We don't really know. We don't really care. Empty Ramada in conference room in central Florida with fancy camera work, though. I will give them that.

They both pay for that.

Can you see? Or is that in the way?

No, that is in the way.

That is in the way. All right. Can you reach it? Because with these headphones. Sorry, I blocked Chrissy's view of Jean's on. You gotta. Gotta get the full effect.

I do.

All right, so. Okay, so let's get back into it. I don't know where we left off. We'll figure it out together.

But I'll talk to men. I'm talking to men. So I'll say it from this perspective. But it's both ways. If you want devotion, which is another word we don't use, because you want devotion. You want to be devoted and adore your girl, and you want her to do the same thing, too. Because I'll tell you this. If your wife or your girlfriend, I'll tell you this.

I smack the shit out of anyone who's not devoted to me. Anyone who doesn't use proper old English around me. I know.

Not proud of who you are as a man, what's the point?

I think he almost. He almost made a point with that point. If you're not proud of who you are as a man, what's the point? What does that have to do with devotion? Where is he going with it? Honestly? Think about that last sentence. Let's listen to Jean's arm. I'm a big fan of, like, making sure that there's a point to things. As you can tell by 650 pointless episodes of the commercial break, voted and.

Adore your girl, and you want her to do the same thing, too. Because I'll tell you this. If your wife or your girlfriend is not proud of who you are as a man, what's the point?

What in the world do those two things have to do with each other?

Maybe devotion. She'll be devoted.

Being devoted has nothing to do with being proud. I'm devoted. Astrid's devoted to me. And she is far from proud of anything that I do.

If you're at a party and you're standing here talking to the guys and she's over there and you glance over at her and you think, yeah, that's my girl. I'm proud of who she is as a person. I'm glad that I know her.

I'm glad that I know my wife. I'm glad that I know the woman I've been sleeping with for that long. Yeah.

While you're at a party, Barbara, come here. When you take a moment to yourself, you sneak into a corner. That's how you do across the room.

I know you.

She did that.

Yeah. That's what I do with anybody I know. I go, I'm proud of you. Devoted to you.

Glad I know you.

Can I have your phone number again? I lost it in the last transition with iPhones.

And she's thinking the same thing. If she's not really on your side, your best supporter, your best cheerleader, and she wants you to succeed and your business is failing, and she's there with you. If you don't have that devotion.

I think he's pointing out some things that have happened in his own life. When your business is failing, when the chips are down, when you're not getting any new pussy, you want your girl to be next to you.

She's proud of who you are and what you're trying to do and what you're trying to become. What's the point? And how many relationships have it so blue?

Swear to God, I'm all that's holy. She has been on fire the last couple of days. On fire. As I get more sick from my parathyroid, she gets more crazy. I just. I can't take it anymore. Yeah.

How do you do it? It's up to you. Guys say ways. Have to find the perfect girl. No, no, no, no, no.

You don't need a girl to have a girl. That's not right. You don't need to find a girl to have a girl.

It's. You set the tone. You set the tone. And it's simple. An example. And I've watched this for years. I've been studying this, thinking about this for years. All the greats in history, let's say it that way. All the men who have these beautiful, adoring relationships with beautiful women that they love, you know what they do? They all have in common.

Who are all the greats in world history that have had loving, devoted wives, beautiful, beautiful with them for a long time.

They're the greats.

JFK. Nope, not JFK. He cheated on Jackie. Oh, uh, Genghis Khan. Nah. He slept with whoever he wanted. Who else? Chrissy. Well, that's it. That's all I could think of. Truman. No, not so great with the ladies.

Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter.

Him, by the way, yesterday on the first.

Well, as we're recording seven weeks ago. He looks. Looks like he's 100 years old. I saw him being rolled out to his lawn to watch the airplanes go by, and I just never want to be 100.

I know, I know.

But he was. He has become a great man. His presidency. A lot of people don't think it was great.

The love story looks like it was there for those two.

Yes.

Rosalind.

Rosalind and Jimmy. There you go. One. There you go.

They gave little seeds of appreciation every single day to her. Not giant compliments, not a bouquet of roses, not hot air balloons, but a.

Little jizz, just a little cup of little spermies in a coffee in the morning. Let her know you love her.

No big gestures. They're on their computer, and she's walking by with a load of laundry or whatever.

A load of laundry or whatever. He caught himself there or whatever.

Yeah, a load of laundry. That's why you just grab her ass.

Yeah, you just grab her ass and say, you're getting fat, hon. Love ya. Have you put on five? Talk to you later. I'm busy. Don't talk to me. Go do the laundry.

Go back to the laundry.

And he looks up and he says, my sweetie, I just want to take a look at you. That's all I have to say. And he goes back to playing.

He's gonna remember you carrying that laundry pass.

And he goes back to playing call of duty. His one k jaaaaaaat, my love. I just wanna take a look at.

You with that laundry basket in your head.

With that laundry basket in your head. I'm gonna go whack off to some extreme porn now and get back to playing call of duty. Cause I don't have a job. Thanks for making all the money, honeydeh. Sorry about the skid marks. Oh, my God.

Let's put a little oxiclean.

Yeah, a little oxiclean will get that shit right out. I mean the literal shit. Shit right out.

Little seeds of appreciation. And if you.

And if you're pro, they don't have a girlfriend. They don't have girlfriends. That's why they're here, dude. At least, unless I totally misunderstand the concept of this particular convention with all these pickup artists.

It is. It's a pickup artist.

Pickup artist convention.

It's the manosphere.

Oh, yeah.

Interested in what she's trying to do with her career, her life. And you want to know when you visit her? Let's visit. I want to know. Tell me even if you don't understand it.

I don't really care, but let's visit while I'm playing Call of duty, you talk incessantly at my ear.

Tell me about what you're doing to make money.

I'll be on my headset while you tell me about how we're making all this money. I need a new joystick for my call of duty.

I can't believe he set up while.

You go back to playing Call of duty.

My girl's an architect. She does these incredible designs and she works in Autocad, so I'm looking over her shoulder. What? I have no idea how you do that.

Let me get back to call of duty.

Let me get back to my call of duty. That's confusing. Let me get back to call of duty. That's like me at the computer store. Well, that's confusing. Let me get back to napping. Thanks. You take care of it. I'll be napping. Talk to you later.

Interested? I spend a lot of time. I just realized this. I spend a lot of time visiting my girl. We've been together ten years and I visit. You want to visit? Okay. Have a glass of wine, sit on the balcony, just visit.

And she listens to me incessantly, ramble, my beloved. My beloved. My beloved, that is.

They've just been together for ten years.

Yeah.

There's no marriage involved. It doesn't sound like.

No.

Which. That's fine.

I'd like to get in on this relationship for a day. Yeah, just follow it around for a day.

So far, the clues we've gotten is she does laundry and makes money as an architect while he plays Call of duty. Call of duty speaks at pickup artists.

Convention all around the world.

In Romania. Yeah. Yeah, all around the world. But they were the based out of Romania.

Uh huh. Well, I mean, listen, Romania is Romania, right?

Little seeds of appreciation. If she feels that you're. That she's seen by you. If she feels that she's seen by you, she'll follow you to the ends of the earth.

I don't think that's necessarily true. That you can just compliment somebody and then they're going to be hopelessly devoted to you.

Get caught up in her jobs and. Yeah, okay, I got this. My wife now, and it's a. That's taken care of. So now I gotta concentrate over here. All you have to do is, like, see her every day. Anyway, that was kind of my speech.

Well, that was great. Onward and upward. But it goes on for another 30 minutes. How is that your speech? Oh, he's talking about his speech at the wedding that we started twelve minutes ago. Wow. Way to wrap it up, Buddha. Twelve minute meandering. I've heard some of our presidential candidates be more on point.

That's a thing. And I know that modern society is not constructed in that way. I know that the problem with marriage in the west is that the government.

Oh, now you know about the problem with marriage in the west. I love when people say that the philosophy in the east, like, you know about the philosophy in the east or the problems with the marriage in the west. Tell me more Zahn Sean, it puts.

A layer of something over it that makes it a little weight, a little dicey for me. I get that.

What, and the layer?

Yeah, there's a layer that.

There's a layer of something. He can't put his finger on it. But it's all over the west, sticking to me like that. Algae on Brian's pool.

That's the problem with marriage.

That's right.

But if you have this concept of the beloved and you retain that in your heart, all those things are protected against, you know.

No, the layer or something.

If you just say the word beloved, then you get rid of the something that is sticking all over the west. Okay. Got it. Ten foot.

There's a conviction in men that's missing today. I was talking to the guys yesterday at the table and they said, you know, the testosterone in men is way less than it was 50 years ago.

What? Testosterone in men is way less. I mean, that might be scientifically true or the average might be down, but what does that have to do? You promised us that you would tell us the one good thing.

Yeah, the one message, the one good.

Message that's being delivered in society today. Delivered a lot of words, but no messages.

Really. They've been barking up the wrong tree. When I talk to guys, I say, hey, you're a horny guy. Let's go. Maybe they're not.

Hey, horny guy, suck me off.

That's a wild and horny guy.

Hey, you're a horny guy. I got nanas. Let's get at it. I got a couple holes.

I've been barking up the wrong tree.

Yeah, maybe I've been barking up the wrong cock. Maybe I've been licking on the wrong.

Cock, because I am, you know the feeling of that. I think your sexual energy, your desire to bend the world over is God given.

If you got a softie in your brain, you're gonna have a softie in your pants. You know what I'm saying?

In the world over.

In the world over. All right. That's one way to put it. That's one way to put it, I suppose.

But that's who we are. That's our masculine edge, as we call it. What's missing? And I'm thinking, wow, they don't feel the same thing as me. The guys say to me in coaching.

They say, I can't believe with those cargo pants.

Roundtable. Yeah, breakout session. Yeah, the breakout session.

Did you know that the mental testosterone was down by 50% over the last 50 years? You mean you don't want to bend the world over? Maybe I'm a licking on the wrong nuts, but I owe. That's my masculine edge. By menon, I thought my masculine edge was dracar noir.

Become more of a sexual creature.

I always thought his masculine edge was those cargo pants, clearly filled with. Clearly every pocket filled with something.

You watch porn all day, don't tell me you're not a sexual creature. It's just that you hide it from the world. You're afraid. Toxic. It's toxic. Shame, shame, shame. Shame on you.

God.

Yeah. You should be out taking that pornographic aggression out on the world. Exactly.

Right. If you think about anything that's been created in history, it's this thrusting, penetrating nature of man.

The Washington monument. Thrusting nature of man, the Eiffel Tower. Thrusting, penetrating nature of Mandev, the space station. Basically a big penis, a big heart, erect penis in the space sky.

So it created all the cities. That's what our civilization is based upon. And it's a beautiful.

The thrusting nature.

The thrusting nature of men, that cities.

Were built on it.

You see a bunch of construction workers boning each other while they're building the Empire State Building. Dink, dink, ding, clack, clack, clack. Hey, let's take a break. It's time to cut off a five, get your dick sucking in. Let's smoke a fag and have a dick sucking. What do you say?

So do not listen. Do not listen to the media, to the screeching voices that say, no, it's wrong. Don't listen to it. In all these years I've been public speaking and I wrote books.

I'm wrong.

I'm the thrusting, penetrating nature of man.

They're saying, that's right. I thought he was saying that was what built cities.

Yeah, but now he's saying that that's what the media tells you. Oh, just last night I was listening to Brian Williams as he said, the thrusting, penetrating nature of strikes. Cox strikes again.

There's been an incident.

There's been a thrusting, penetrating incident.

Ask the girl, go to alabastagirl.com. get a coffee outside it and send it to you. And go back to her meeting.

Let me take a drink about it.

In all these years, I've never, you've never heard me say anything about socialism.

That's true.

That is true. In all the years we've been covering.

You, you never heard me say anything.

Not a thing.

I've been talking about men and women for many years. I don't talk about feminism. I don't talk about pornography, gender fluidity wars, all these socialists, I don't talk about them. I know they're impacting the daily life of men and women constantly. I get it. I get it. But there's enough voices talking about those things. I was on a radio show one time in Montreal, so let me talk.

About them for a minute.

And it was a woman's. She has a sex radio show. At the end of it, she said, zan, I asked all my guests this, what's your, what is your, what is your, your concept? Or what do you think about this, the idea of pornography?

And I'm like, what do you think about pornography?

Radio silence. You can't have that, right? I'm like, um, I don't have a response to that. And yes, I know.

Do you like it? Well, it's a frequent friend of mine, I have a frequent flyer program on Porn X.com, but I don't really have an opinion on it. It's not my opinion. I don't know. But I'm guessing that Zon has some favorite porn site out there that he's burning up. That's just my two cent. All right, let's. We got to take a break because, you know, Chrissy, we got to pay the bills, and we can't just listen to zombie.

He still hasn't gotten to the point. So we're still rooting for.

Rooting for you, Zon. We were hoping you're going to make a point. Maybe it's coming after these messages. We'll see. We'll be back.

Call me, beep me if you want to reach me at 212433 TCB. If you have any comments, questions, compliments or content ideas, that's 212-43-3822 you can also find us on the interweb@tcbpodcast.com which is where all of our audio and video lives. So check it out. And then while you're at it, you can follow us on Instagram hecommercialbreak and on TikTok ecbpodcast. That's all for now. So let's have a listen to our sponsors and get back to the show.

Okay, Zon, bring it home with a point. I know you got one in you.

The race is on.

Come on. Here you go. Radio show. Ask what pornography was. Go.

He didn't have an answer.

Give it to us that pornography is affecting our sense of the way we view our bodies. Sense of intimacy. I get it, I get it. But I don't take on this.

I still watch, but I don't have an opinion.

Social issues, what we do with Ars and Mirada, what I do is we run around it. Because you can't win. If you walk into the swamp. Look at doctor Jordan Peterson. Bless his heart. He has a beautiful, kind, respectful, honorable message for young men. Take control of your, of your. Clean your own room. Start there. You clean your room. All these rooms are cleaned. And there's some sense of.

What are we talking about now we're onto Jordan Peterson.

Comes back into the world. It's a good message for men, but he's trying to fight Medusa and is destroying his health. You can't win, guys. Destroying society.

Why are we, Jordan hurt himself by fighting Medusa? Well, first of all, never fight Medusa. That's an eight headed snake, lady. You don't want to get.

Don't look in the eyes.

The media is too strong. Right. We're trying to battle against it. Nah, just go around it. Leave.

Nah, just ignore all the social issues. Get right to the pussy.

The screeching voice is behind. Don't pay them any heed. Go around them. The Bible says, whatsoever things are lovely. Think on the spirit.

Look, Zon, just because you got ordained on the Internet.

Yeah. It doesn't mean you can go thrown.

Around Bible verses and bless you by.

Child like you're the archbishop of Romania. Come on, man. You'd have us believe that you could step foot in a church without setting on fire.

And I implore you to do that, because it's upon you to go into your communities, into your relationships, into your life as that man who's life giving. The idea of life giving masculinity as toxic is a sin.

Toxic masculinity might be a sin. I get it. I get the point. Right? But I think this is way over dramatized on. I think you are, in fact, making a social issue out of an issue that may not be an issue. And that's the problem, is you're stoking a fire that may not need to be stoked. Yes, men are men. We should be men. Women are women. They should be women. There are differences between the two, and there are lots of people who are fluid around that. And that's cool, too, right? There should. When we should all be allowed to be what we are. And, you know, could you make an argument that sometimes little boys don't get the message that they.

Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian. Just go around it.

The idea is a sin. Masculinity.

I was going to get there.

You're becoming one.

Yeah, we're becoming one. I'm telling. I'm doing the setup and now you're doing the punchline.

It's absent. There's a danger in the heart of men, which is your thrusting, desiring nature. Bend the world over. That's how I view it, anyway. You have this nature. You have this power to destroy. The guys are talking about it this weekend. This beautiful anger that's used as a tool as opposed to lose control. Anger is a beautiful tool.

Now we're on. Anger is a beautiful tool. We were devoted, and then we're la la la.

And then rocking.

They are now anger beautiful, too. Let's go out and use it by thrusting and penetrating everything we see. Stick your dicks in buildings. Lead with your dick, boys.

And we've been suppressing it all our lives. But anger's good. It's a beautiful tool to use.

Who's been suppressing it all their life? Because I go to the grocery store and people want to knock me over with a shopping cart because I'm alive. I don't know.

And the problem is this, because we have this danger in our hearts, which is a beautiful, God given created way. We are the danger, the ability to defend and protect. And, you know, the metaphor I use is the caveman's outside the cave and his loved ones are inside, and he's fighting the saber toothed tiger with a stick. So good, but he's gonna fight.

We went from rocking chairs to weddings to devoted to date night, to the danger in hearts, to our thrusting, penetrating nature of making all things that were ever created to now. Fighting saber. Two tigers.

My girl doing my laundry.

You have a girl doing her laundry? Grab her ass back to call of duty. And now when I'm at home fighting off this saber. Barbara. Barbara, get my spear. There's a saber toothed tiger outside of.

Romania because his loved ones are there, right? That spirit of danger, the ability and the desire to destroy something to protect. Okay. And the problem. The problem we have is when that danger, which is inherent in us, in men, is turned inward toward the cave.

Oh, my God, Barbara. I'm gonna kill you now.

Thanks for the spear.

Thanks for the spear. I'm gonna throw it at you, but can you do my laundry first? Thanks, Barbara.

That's where you get relationship abuse, children molestation, school shootings, this idea of that.

I mean, okay, he's trying to address some things that are in the world, I guess, but what? These people are at a pickup, pickup.

Artist conference, and he's trying to, like, teach them something. And I think there's like. Like an ether of a point here that I was talking, addressing.

It's a wispy.

Yeah, it's a wispy smoky. It's like right after the big bang, everything was just kind of like floating out there, trying to get together molecules and atoms or something. I don't know. I heard it one time on a video, but we're not really coming together with a star right now. We're not putting enough matter together to get a star. He's trying to address the entire world. Everything that's wrong with everything. Zahn is really a benevolent patriarch.

Self profess.

Self professed.

Because the anger is directed in and not out here lovingly out this way. And we're protecting towards the saber.

Yeah. Okay, so we're protecting and killing things outside our cave, but not inside our. I don't get the point. I'm not getting the metaphor.

So I'm much a champion for men. And I have a lot of hope. And I have a lot of.

Wow.

I'm much a champion.

I'm a much a champion. I'm a much a champion.

Faith in men, which you'll never hear anywhere in this modern, modern age. I really believe in men. I think they're cool. And I think your masculine edge, your desire, your sexual nature, as I said, is divine. And so do not listen to anybody that says anything else. Take it to heart. Understand it. Love it. Love it.

Take it to heart. Beans. Beans. The more you eat, the more you fart.

Bend the world over.

Bend the world over. Get them right in the Patucci.

Aristotle said.

And there we go.

Okay, maybe this.

Maybe this is a point. All right, we're gonna give him one more. One more chance here. One more chance. At least on this episode.

Start with first principles. What do you know to be true? That's as simple as it needs to be. I talk about conviction. Men do not have this concept of conviction anymore. What does that mean? A 22 year old guy will say to me, well, I don't have conviction. I don't know yet. I don't even know what I want to do with my life. I don't have conviction. Yes, you do. You know what? You know, you start with first principles. What do you know to be true? I know that I'm standing on the street there.

I'm a thruster.

Seems like that's what he's saying.

Yeah. What if all the guys are just walking down the street, just thrusting like little. Little platypuses.

Thrustiness.

Oh, I embrace my thrustiness all the time. I'm in the shower, I'm just thrusting. I'm practicing my thrusts. I gotta get those thrusting muscles back in fighting order that my parathyroid took them down.

That's true. I know. I see a girl over there who's attractive to me. I like the way she looks. That's a statement of truth. And no one can say that's not true. I negate that. That's a statement of truth. I would like to meet her. I would like to meet her. I'm with my friends, but I would like to walk over there and say, hello, I'm Zan. I would like to meet her. That's a statement of truth. You know that to be true. You're convicted of these things.

So, wait, the guy doesn't know what he wants to do for a living, but when he walks into a bar? Start with, the statement of truth is, I would like to meet that girl. Okay. Yeah. I mean, that's true. To this particular person.

No one can say that. It's not.

No one be convicted. Fake news.

The universal truths that you believe in your heart, you have conviction about these things. You can rest on that and say, at least I know that. And all you have to do when you go and talk to the girl is speak these statements. Speak.

I'm standing on the street. I think you're attractive. I'd rather to meet you. These are my truths.

These are my truths.

Okay, dude, thanks. Just wanted to say my truths first. Transplant? Aristotle. Aristotle. His first album.

It's the truth. You know, I was over there with my friends and I saw you over here. Statement. And I had to come say hello.

Another statement.

And I'm nervous. That's a statement, too. But I had to come say hello anyway. What's your name? That's as simple as it is.

I guess that's better than getting into a fake argument with somebody.

That's very true.

Hey, listen, at 60 years old, maybe Zon did learn something. If you just talk to a woman like a human being and maybe they want to be with you, I like this.

Okay.

All right. Zon's getting there. Zaun's getting. Should we go for a third? He's moving into some territory sometimes that I'm like, eh, yeah, but I don't know. Maybe we should give him a chance to wrap it up.

Maybe we should.

Maybe we should. Let's see. I take an audience vote, but you're not here and we're not here, so you're not here. We're not here. Zahn's not here. We're all. That's a statement of truth, though. I didn't lie. First principle, first principal. Aristotle. Aristotle, part two. Part two, second album. Yeah. Part two, second album. I like his earlier stuff. That's my personal opinion. Alrighty. Alrighty. Alrighty. So everyone settled down. Don's got us all in a flutter over here. Dcbpodcast.com, that's where you go. You find out more information about Chrissy and I. All the audio, all the video right there from one location. You can also get your free TCB sticker drop down menu on the contact us button says, I want my free sticker. That's a statement of truth. No one can tell you otherwise. We pre populated it like Aristotle. Give us your address, which I also, I also hope is a statement of truth. Give us your address and then we'll send you one to anyone. That's interesting. We are going to be doing live shows next year. I'm giving you some, a chance to recover. I appreciate everyone who is planning on going to the Florida shows that you've been so fucking kind.

Honestly, Chrissy, best listeners in the world, not a negative word. Well, one guy said, it may suck for everybody else that you're canceling the shows. But I like it because now I can go. And I was like, all right, there you go. So kind of negative. But then it turned positive and I was like, all right, good for you. So we'll, we'll announce those dates very soon when we get back from our little break here. We'll be announcing those dates. I'm sure of it. Add the commercial break on Instagram, TCBpodcast, on TikTok and YouTube.com. thecommercialbreak 212433. Tcb 212-43-3822 and when we get back, we'll respond questions, comments, concerns, content, ideas, you know what we like, send it on over and we'll get back to you just as soon as we can. Okay, Chrissy? That's all I can do for now.

I think so.

But I'll tell you that I love you.

I love you.

I'll say best to you. Best to you. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Until next time, Chrissy and I always say, we do say, and we must say goodbye.

I gotta get some cocaine. Turning the crating.
