Don't worry, everyone. I pulled the three people I know, and no one's having a good time. No one's doing well. So if you're not doing well, don't worry. Everyone else I know also isn't. I think Mercury is doing the renegade again. So go to sleep. Try again in a couple of weeks. On this episode of the Commercial Break. My rat grew up to be a mountain monster. You did it, Willy. You did it. You survived. The legend. The legend I love Willy. He's now a trap builder for the mountain monster. It makes total sense. It makes total sense. I love this. He went down into the sewers. He freed Willy and looked what he became. He freed Willy. He went down into the sewers. He's like a He came in contact with nuclear waste and he became a mountain monster. The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now. It's 30 in the morning. Oh, yeah, guys, the Kiddens. Welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the pop to my tart, Chris and Joy. Totally best to you, Chris. Best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast universe.

Thanks a whole lot for joining us. We certainly do appreciate it, both of you. We're betting on it. Both of you, we bet on it. We bet on it. Now you can string those episodes together depending on which shirts Christie and I wear. Then you'll know the real truth behind the commercial break. You want a conspiracy theory dig into that one. Why are there so many shirts on the commercial break? But there aren't. There's only four. If you tie them all together, all the ones where we wear the same shirts, it makes one long episode, a number of four long episodes that you can listen to at your leisure. Please do. Cold plungees. Oh, I've been having friends that have been trying to get me to do this for years. One particular friend who I know you know. I'll say his name, Raphael. He's been trying to get me to... He tries to get me to do all the cookey crappy stuff. But listen, sometimes it seems to really do things for him. I just sometimes I it and it doesn't do things for me, or it does do things for me, and I appreciate.

I appreciate the trying. I appreciate the new suggestion. One thing he's been trying to get me to do for years and years, cold showers, only cold showers, ice, cold showers, cold plungees. People have been talking about this for a while. I have been talking about this for quite a long time. Starts with that guy Wim Hof, which I have seen quite a bit of his material, read some of his material. Wim Hof basically is a guy who started doing this to his own body and now has popularized It's popularized. Popularized? I hate when my tongue doesn't work sometimes. This idea of cold plunging or taking an ice bath or meditating in a state of hypothermia, basically. That's the only way that I can think about it. The only way I can describe it is that staving off hypothermia by slowing your body down, slowing your breathing down, realizing that the pain is good for you, yes. But if There's Wim Hof, Ho Hum. Wim, ho, ho, hum. I don't know if I could meditate while being freezing gold. This guy does it. He goes… He literally will… Because you could train yourself. He'll jump in the frozen ocean, swim with a polar bear, go to the top of a mountain, sit there for hours in the snow, going like this with nothing but a loincloth on.

The guy is insane. He's insane. I applaud him for recognizing and being aware enough about his own body to recognize that this is something that's been really positive for him and for a lot of other people, apparently, too. I'm not pooh-poohing the whole idea, but I'm starting to read more and more articles where actual doctors are like, Let's put our bodies in a super fight or flight mode for minutes, sometimes half hour at a time every single day and see how that does for us. Now there's some people who are saying, and of course, there's always going to be two sides to every coin when somebody comes up with something new. I don't always believe the doctors. I generally do believe science, but I don't always believe brand new information because, goddamn, everything's bad for you if you really look at it. But I don't always believe some of the stuff that gets out there on social media either. While this seems to have done wonders for Raphael and other people I know, I tried. I tried. I tried my best. I tried to take cold showers, but there is just something about it that makes my body go haywire.

It does not feel feel comfortable. It's the opposite of comfortable to me. I don't like cold weather. I don't like cold rain. I don't like cold water. The only time I like cold water is when I'm drinking it. That's the only time that I like cold water. I do not want to be... I don't even like lukewarm water. Go into my shower right now, because the last person took a shower with me. Go into that shower and see just how fucking hot my showers are. They're hot. I turn them out almost as high as I can turn them because that's my default comfortable position. When I go in the shower every morning, and every night, and sometimes in the afternoon, I would like to be in a state of relaxation, not a state of sheer panic. Because that cold water drives me freaking crazy. I know. Well, there's the whole... Like the Romans have been doing that for a long time. The cold bath stuff? No, it's the Turkish bath. I discovered this when I went over to Rome. Oh, yeah. They had these whole spa-type things dedicated where you go out to these mineral springs and they would have it where you could do, and it's a whole regimen.

Series, yeah. Yeah, you do the steam. You start with the steam, and then you do the cold, like quick cold shower, and then you lie down on a like a marble bench type thing. I think There's some type of that thing where you do hot and then cold. Hot and then cold. You did that in Rome? Mm-hmm. When Astrid and I are in Valencia, Spain, there's a hotel in Valencia, Spain, on the beach, renovated, it's called six or seven years ago. And Astrid and I go after one of our children was born, we go. He's probably not even one yet, but it's like, I think we're in there February or something like that. It's a little chilly. It's not summertime. You're not going hanging out on the beach. But mom-in-law, wonderful mom-in-law, says, I'm taking the kid for the next 48 hours. You guys go do whatever it is you're going to do. I got it. Give me some milk. I got it. Which was a lovely offer. So, Astrid and I, being the first time we've ever spent the night away from any child, we decide we're going to run down to this hotel.

We're staying on the beach also in a condo on the beach. We're going to run down to this hotel. It's about a mile down the beach. Brand new, renovated. We go, lovely room, beautiful hotel, lovely views of the Mediterranean Coast. And then they have a spa. So anytime we can get to a spa for a massage or something, we're like, Hell, yeah. So we We go, we go in for massages. Then this comes with a day pass to this-Oh, right. Water spa that they have. The water spa is very similar to what you're talking about. Numerous rooms with hot and cold different water features, right? There might be a mineral spring thrown in. Hot steam. They have one called the snow shower, which is literally frozen water being thrown in your face. They have the hot, hot Jacuzzi where you're only supposed to be there for two or three minutes, and then you go directly into the cold Jacuzzi, which is like, it's 47 degrees. You're only supposed to stay there for one or two minutes. Then they have this indoor water spa with water massage chairs in the pool. Have you ever seen those?

Yes. You sit back. We had those, too. The water jets go up and down your back and all this other stuff. That's so nice. Then they have an indoor-outdoor pool. The indoor part, the pool is heated, but you can swim indoors, and then you can go under that little thing and you can swim outdoors also. We're there. It's not very crowded. It's not that of year. I'm going to guess there's 10 people in the spa altogether with Astrid and I, so eight strangers. There are a pair of young ladies and two other couples, and then there seems to be two disparate older men just are there on their own. For what reason? We saw an old man in there and ours, too. Well, I know exactly why. Because in Spain, no one wears clothing. Especially not if you're at the water spa. People don't wear clothing. It's just not a thing that they do. Almost everybody is in some state of undressed, except for Astrid and I who are like, I'm not going to make it. It seems weird. I'm not going to do that. You're an American. Yeah, you're an American. You could tell the Americans in there because we basically walk in with a wetsuit on.

We're fully dressed from top to bottom. A heated wetsuit. We're like, Yeah, I'll go in the cold plunge. Heated wetsuit, please. We go through the regimen. I go in that cold water up to my knees and I get right the fuck out. I'm like, I'm going back to the hot one. Yeah, I can't even do it. It's just too much for me. My body starts to go crazy. I'm like, Get out of here. Esther and I go into the pool where they have the water spot. We're doing the water spot. These two girls are topless, as are the two other young ladies that are with the two couples. They're probably in their mid 20s. They're topless also, and one of the guys has no clothes on. I'm like, Okay, all right, cool. When in Europe. When in Europe, look at dicks. I guess that's how it's going to go. Okay, cool. I've seen a dick. I'm cool with it. Whatever. Just please don't put it on me and I'm fine. Everything's cool. We've been to Spain a lot. There's nothing new about this. We knew that there are topless people everywhere in Spain, and I love it.

I think it's great. I think it's great that everyone feels so comfortable with their bodies and no one's really staring. It's just a thing. It's not a thing, actually. It's just part of There's a culture there. But the two girls who are with each other, they are talking in not Spanish. They're talking in some... I think they may be from Finland or Sweden. They got that accent light skin blonde hair. One of the girls starts this like laying floating, right? She's floating. She's doing this floating thing. She's just laying there floating and she's got her top off. I have never in my life I've seen a boob job quite this way. I don't want to say it was bad or good. I just want to say that it was not what you would expect a natural breast or even a boob job to do, right? It was really weird. It appeared as if there were... I don't know how I explain this. You know those chocolate, the cookie dough rolls that you get at the grocery store? I think so. Where they have the cookie dough in and it's a roll in plastic. Oh, yeah, the roll that pop it.

Yeah, and you cut it up. Hop it. Yeah, okay. Imagine you had taken the top off one of those things, just chopped off the top of one of those things, and it was bigger. Then you put it on top of someone's actual boob, right? It would look just like a little lumpy and weird, right? This is how the boob looked. I could not stop for the life of me staring at this girl's boob. Not just because it just looked strange to me. It didn't look natural. Not that it's supposed to, and not that I give a shit what your boobs look like. I really don't care. But I just thought this to be a rather weird boob job. It was weird. I don't even... It was like a boob on top of a boob on top of a boob. It was like a triple layer boob cake. I don't even know how to explain it. It was so weird. It was a It was a different type of material or whatever that was in there. She's floating around in front of me, right? I'm on the spa chair. I'm like, laying back. I'm on the spa chair.

Esther is probably irritated the fuck with me. Sure. She's not saying anything, but I can feel her eyes digging into the side of my head. I'm just watching this girl float back and forth, and I'm like, wow, that's interesting. That's a new way to do things, right? Then I see her friend who's sitting on a spa chair on the other end of the pool. I can see her, and it wasn't Astrid's eyes I was feeling, it was her friend's eyes that I was feeling. I got so busted, like so busted, because I looked over quickly and she was like this. But she It was also topless. So then she had her arms folded. Her boobs were over her arms. So she's looking at me. That's just so awkward. Yes. So then instead of looking directly in her face, now I look at her boobs because she's squeezing them together with her arms folded. I'm like, I cannot win here. I'm the creepy old guy. But wait, there's two other single guys here. They're older with loin claws on. Why aren't you staring? They're staring at her, too. Everybody, I'm not guilty. It's not me. Something's What's going on with your friend's boobs.

I'm just trying to figure it out, okay? There's a triple layer boob cake going on there, and I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. It was the most embarrassing thing. But here's the wrap up to that story. Did they jump in the cold pool? They jumped in the cold pool. They got out, they jumped in the cold pool, I assume, because Esther and I got out a couple of minutes after that, and they were in that cold. Then the locker room is close to the cold pool. We're drying off and doing this whole night. Those girls must have been in that cold pool. I'm going to say 10 minutes. At 10 fucking minutes, those girls were in that cold pool. They had built up some stamina. How do you do that? How do you sit in 47 degree water for 10 minutes without just dying? Dying? I don't know. You got hypothermia in It's... So this Wim Hof... And you could tell that they were also doing some breathing exercise. And so this Wim Hof methodology, or this methodology passed on or passed down or whatever it is, has really taken off.

But there are clear indicators That you go into fight or flight mode when your body reacts to that water like that. And that may not necessarily be great for all people, for Brian, who's- Just specifically for Brian. Who's basically a walking marshmallow. Brian is- I like to do a cool- Spritz? A cool spritz at the end of the hot shower. Oh, you do? You just turn it on cool real quick? Yeah, it'll go cold. Yeah. I go cool. Just to spritz yourself? Because they're like a hot shower, too. What's the point in that? Is just to wake yourself up a little bit? Yeah, it's supposed to be good for your hair and your skin and stuff. I'll tell you as far as I've taken it, I've taken to doing this recently. I'll get up sometimes and I'll take the kids to school, but I don't feel like... Sometimes I don't have enough time for a shower before and there's so much chaos going on. I like that. I try to help. I say I like to help. I try to help. I usually just add more chaos to the situation. I think Astrid generally just likes it when I just leave everybody alone because I'm like, Well, wash your hair, brush your teeth, get your clothes, wear your shoes, you got to get out of here.

There's five more minutes left. And Astrid's like, Hey, Hey, it's fucking kindergarten. No one's going to die. Okay? All right, let's just settle down here. I'm running around after spending 48 minutes. Twirling around, blues barking. Yeah, blues barking because she knows people are getting geared up to leave the house. I've spent 48 minutes in the bathroom doing my morning press conference, and now I come out like a king, and I'm like, Okay, everyone, brush your teeth. Put on your shoes and get your socks. The kids are, Aha, Daddy. Esther's just like, Please go back to the bathroom. Why don't you go in the car and just wait for the kids? I'll send them your way. But since I don't feel like I have a lot of time to do that 30 minutes shower that I do in the mornings, I've taken a splash of cold water on my face in an attempt to make me look like a human being when I go out there in the world because I got to get my Starbucks and I got these huge baggy Irish eyes and I just splash cold water on my face. But even that takes my breath away.

Plus, you don't want to make sure there's anything on your face that looks like cocaine. Oh, God, I'll tell you what, man. Fuck, dude. Dude, I can't believe it. People are still looking at me weird up there. Still looking at me weird. It's a whole thing up there now. I know it. I either I'm very paranoid, which I know I am, or I'm correct that people are looking at me differently now at that Starbucks. They're not quite as friendly. They're like, Well, he's a cokehead. So let's not get too attached to him. He's going to be in rehab any day now. He's going to be in rehab any day now. Let's not get too close to Brian. You know what I'm saying? We're going to get our hearts broken. He's going steal our till register money for blow. He stole our tip jar for blow. That guy, that guy. Look at him. You put in a five take out of 20. I put in a five take out of 20? Oh, man, I saw somebody do that one time. I saw somebody at a caribou coffee do that. Oh, no, that's bad. Yes, it was terrible.

And I said something to them. Starbucks is now my place, but I used to go to caribou coffee. You did. I remember the caribou. Two or three times a day. God, I was drinking so much fucking caffeine. I'm I haven't had a heart attack yet. But I knew all the people at the caribou coffee. Here's the crazy part. You want to hear the crazy part? There is a lady that works at that Starbucks now that worked at that caribou coffee. Really? Yes. I've known her for almost as long as I've known you. She's corroborating everybody's thoughts, too. They're like, I've known him for a long time. I've known him for a long time. I've seen him in all states of disarray. Exactly. I think he used to meet his drug dealer at Caribou, which That might be true. I don't know. Hey, meet me at the Caribou. I got to get my coffee. I got to get my coffee on top of my cocaine. Do you have any pills to bring me down? So I went to that Caribou, and I'm waiting in line One day, very busy always. This is actually when I had a day job and I would go in there when other human beings were actually there.

I went and there was a guy in front of me. He was a little twitchy. He seemed a little off, like he was nervous about something. He orders whatever, $1.09 standard cup of small coffee. Lady turns around, he takes a dollar bill, he puts it in, he takes a 20 out of there and puts it in his pocket. I saw this all go down, and I didn't say anything to him. But then I said to the manager and this lady that we're working the counter, I said, Hey, guys, did you have a $20 bill in that thing? They were like, Oh, yeah, I think so. I go, I think that dude just put a dollar in and took a 20 out. They were so gracious. They were like, Well, he must have needed it. I was like, What? They just stole $20 from me. They're like, $19 from me. He's like, Well, he must have needed it. I wish I could be that mature about anything. Really? Where's my maturity? When does that come from me? When's all this therapy going to start paying off? I don't know it's going to happen. It's got to happen at some point, right?

I don't know. You think I might be a lost cause at this point? I think I might just be getting worse, actually. I mean, my therapist is doing a great job. I'm just not sure I'm I don't know. My therapist must be like, Oh, Brian, again. Some months I go once a month, sometimes twice a month, sometimes once every other week. It just depends on my schedule or what else is going on. But I know she must go, Oh, how do I get rid of this client? Because of course, I talk to her about the podcast. So, of course, she's listening to the podcast. I can't go to therapy without talking about the podcast. It's a pretty big part of my life now. I know she listens to the podcast, and Each time I go in, I feel like I'm getting the same look from her that I get from the people at Starbucks. Like, what a fucking degenerate. Why am I doing this with him? She could also be saying, Well, he's going to be a steady client for years to come. Oh, yeah. That's what she could be saying. She's like, Well, it's the worst hour of the week or the month or whatever it is.

But- I can count on that. As long as he's doing that commercial break, I'm in the money. It could only get better. He's doing maybe just like the commercial break, he'll start doing four times a week here, too. He should. He should. I should probably go back to one episode a week and do four therapy appointments a week. All right. We've got a fan request video to do today, Chrissy, and I'm excited about this. Somebody, Caden, our friend Caden, texted in all the time. Him and his girlfriend love the show. They like to watch it with their friends. They love Mountain Monsters. They're having a good old time with it. I thought I'd do Caden a favor and take on a fan I don't think we've done many of these. No, we have not. No. Maybe once before, and I think it also- But we welcome them. Was this same type of video. We'll get to that. That's true. It was another- Yeah, another thing. Okay, I almost said it. I'm going to pull you through the break. You got to figure out what it is by listening to the sponsors, and then when we come back, we'll tell you what we're going to do.

It's called a segue, Kristin. Oh, fancy. That's a fancy radio term for this podcast, which is not radio. But anyway, all right, we'll be back. Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath, and now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right. It's 212-433-3TCB, and you can text us anytime you want, or you can call and leave us a voicemail, and we might just use your message on the show once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course. Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And of course, all of our audio video is easily found on tcbpodcast. Com.

Now, finally, I'm going to announce to you Something that probably has no suspense whatsoever. We're going to do a Mountain Monsters episode. The Moth Man has been requested by the Kadenman himself. Moth Man. The Moth Man. He says he got to do this episode, Brian. It's one of our favorites. I love it. I said, You know what? Why not give the kids what they want? Plus, it's good content for the show. It's a content idea. I was missing Mountain Monsters, actually. I was, too. I think it's been months since we've done a Mountain Monsters. We did a Frankie B on our 500th because, of course, Frankie B. But then Mountain Monsters also does play some smaller but just as important part, I think, in our show. In the lore. In the lore. That is gives you something to listen to besides us. That's funny. You know what I'm saying? Here is the Mothman episode. They are chasing the Mothman, which I have no idea what it is.

Haven't watched the video yet. First time, I'm a virgin, you're a virgin. Everybody's a virgin here. We're all going to go in hard. We're going to go in raw dogging, Mountain Monsters, Mothman. Here we go. Night one, investigation. Hold up, guys. Hold up. We're in Mason County. We're looking for you. We're in Mason County, which I just made up. We're in Mason County, which is where we have been every other episode of Mountain Monsters, right here behind the Walmart in Mason County. The field. The field behind the Walmart at Mason County. I've seen some. The Moth Man in this area goes back many, many years. These Moth Man sightings go hand in hand with tragedy. They go hand in hand with a good Reddit post. These guys are really bundled up. It must be cold out there. Mason County. Hucking, buck, and suck, and fuck. They're all out there doing it. He seems to have mystic powers. He hypnotizes people. You're white as a sheep, though. Guys, I'm alerted to hypnotizing. I got a doctor's note. I can't do this one. It makes me break out in hives and dance like a chicken. I one time got hypnotized by the guy, the guy at the local fair, the Kings and the Nights and stuff.

What's that called? The Renaissance Fair. The Renaissance Fair. I got hypnotized by the Renaissance Fair guy. For three days, I walked around like a chicken with my pants off. Wait, he just said... The other I just said to Buck or... Which one is he? Chuck, he's Buck. Yeah, that's Buck. Or Huck. No, that's Buck. That's Huck. Fuck Huck. Chuck. I don't know. We've been doing this for five years, and I still don't know the names of these We need a little bit of- We need a little chart. Yeah, we should have some- He just said, You're white. You're really white. You're really white. Meanwhile, he's got a headlamp shining on his face. I know. In the pitch dark. First of all, second of all, he was really white in the first place. I'm sorry, but I don't see Buck as the guy that gets to Cabo very often. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. He seems to have mystic powers. He hypnotizes people. You're white as a sheep, Buck. I'm all right. I'm all right. That was bad. I haven't gotten to 10:00 bed this week. It's something we've never had to deal with before.

Hang on a second. I got the runs. I'll be right back. Hang on one second. That baconator is coming back up on me, boys. I'm going to have to go into the Walmart and blow that bathroom up. Destroy it. We're going to destroy that restroom. Can you do me a In your favor, security guards. Run in there and see if you can't clear out that portalette. Oh, man. Buck just went down. I mean, he really went down. Let's see. He actually went down. Wow. That almost doesn't look fake. I know. Wow. That Baconator did come back up on him. Wow. So you can't see this because you're listening to the show, but they're all standing around. The four main characters and Mountain Monsters are standing around. Buck, who I think is generally known as the leader of the group, he's a very big boy, and he just falls over. But it looks real. He base-planted. Yeah. Buck, Buck, Buck. We can't get him up now. Buck, Buck. Are you okay? Because if I'm not mistaken, you just passed out. At your size, you probably had a heart attack or a stroke. But let me not dither.

Let me ask you if you're okay. Shouldn't you immediately get emergency aid? These guys are standing around saying his name. The guy just went headfirst into the ground. Guys, he ain't faking. Come on, Buck. He ain't faking. All right, let me get a Red Bull. Like usual. Let me get a red bowl. Like, usually. Like, usual. Yeah. Let me get a red bowl and a couple of honey bun. We'll get them back up. These poor guys like Elvis. They just keep plugging them full of fluids and trying to get them out on stage. Hang on now. Just lay there for a minute. Hang on. You okay, Buck? Breathe easy. As if he was going to get up on his own anytime soon. He was like, just lay down for a minute. Breathe easy. You hit pretty hard. Oh, he's rubbing them. No, they really do love each other. They're like little friends. It was a little group of friends running after Moth Man out there. That's what me and my friends do on my days off. You passed out. Get up. Set him up here. Hang on, hang on. Stay right there. Hang on, hang on.

I got some My ass stuck in my rectum. Hang on, hang on. Let me adjust my monster cock. Talk to me. Talk to me. Where's my flash light? We got it. We got all that stuff. We'll take care Where's my flash light? What we're going to do is continue to keep rolling. Yeah, I'm just going to keep rolling. No medical attention really needed. Wait, where's my flash light and my Costco membership card? Get those two things before I get up. I had no clue what just happened to me. We walk into the woods and then... Well, I'm not a doctor, but I am the third Huckleberry on this show. If I had to take a guess, you were hypnotized by the Moth Man. I'm just dizzy. The next thing I know, I open my eyes. I'm on the ground looking up at Huckleberry and Jeff. They told me that I passed out. That's exactly what I want to see if I pass out, Huckleberry and Jeff on top of me. I just wake up and then pass right back out. I'm like, Oh. Uncle Barry and Jeff. Uncle Barry and Jeff. Well, thank God Huckleberry and Jeff were there.

He does. Doing nothing for you but rubbing your belly. I feel better. Stand up a little bit. I've seen something strange. I don't really what's going on. I just felt a little weird. I don't know. You got my shot done? I'll take care of it. You got my shotgun? That'll make me feel better. I know. I'm feeling dizzy. You got my gun? I'm feeling Disney and hypnotized and all out of sort. You got my gun? Loaded? Can I point it in multi directions. What if he just takes a gun and starts swinging it around? How's everybody doing? I'll fall down again. You're being cover here. You just worry about yourself. You just take care of Buck. All right? Your bandana? Yeah. Thanks, Jeff. They gave him some I got some therapy lessons there. They're like, You take care of yourself. You do you, buck. It's some buck time. You need some self-love right there, buddy. Go draw a bath, get yourself a good magazine, and a nice bottle of rosé. You're going to be right as rain by tomorrow. All right, take it. Bachelor finale is on. Go watch it with Brian. Grab my shot, guy.

We got it. Is that... Oh, that's his beard. I thought it was a hazmat suit. Well, he's like a walking hazmat suit. You should have a hazmat suit if you're around him almost. That's scary. Well, that sucks. I guess we have to keep filming. Let us not- We got to get that Moth Man. Let It does not delay. The Moth Man needs our attention. I hope he's all right. I do, too. I hope he's all right. We probably should go to the hospital with him, but we're going to stay here with our headlampss and run around like little children looking for Moth Man. I just don't know. I can't explain it. Now it's the next day, just to keep you abreast of what's going on. At his sight, it was clearly shaken up by what he saw that night. Now it's time to go the Moth Man. Oh, now it's time to go after the Moth Man. That was just a free... That was a pre-launch party. Yeah. I was a little tailgating before the fish concert. I've seen stranger stuff at a Widespride Panic Show. I see that every time. Guys going down on their face and other guys standing around going, Hello?

Hello? Crash's idea that these electrical currents attracted the Moth Man just may lead to an idea that help us devise a trapper. Wait, who's this guy, Trapper, who's showing up now? I don't know. It almost looked like this may be an earlier episode. Earlier or later episode, yeah. Well, because it said Buck, and then below it said Rooky. Oh, it said Rooky? Yeah. Oh, he does look younger in this episode, too. Yeah, we don't know because we don't do any research before we start this show. We aren't aware of all the comings and goings of everybody because we fail to do any homework whatsoever. I'm reading this article the other day about podcasts and spreading misinformation on podcast. The girl wrote the article, which was, I think, well done, but a little snarky, was like, because podcasts, all they do is just claim they don't know anything while they spread misinformation. We really don't know anything. But luckily, we're only spreading misinformation about mountain monsters, so I don't think we're harming anybody. Here we are, Bill. Normally, when I design I design them for start- Willy? It's my rat. My rat grew up to be a mountain monster.

You did it, Willy. You did it. You survived. The legend. The legend of Willy. He's now a trap builder for the Mountain Monsters. It makes total sense. It makes total sense. I love this. He went down into the sewers. You freed Willy and look what he became. I freed Willy. He went down into the He's like a teenage. Yeah, he came in contact with nuclear waste and he became a mountain monster. I'm so glad things turned out for you. It's me. Daddy. It's me. Daddy, come back. You could sit on my shoulder. You're a little big, but you could sit on my shoulder again. Just like the old times, I'll put you in a box with some of that shaved up cardboard. You'll be fine. Things will be great, just like they used to be. Ben, the two of us need to look no more. And being able to hold and contain whatever creatures we're after. This one's totally different. I've heard about them all, man. That thing can just go from here. Look, while Bill was before he was yelling. Oh, yeah. He was calm back then before the producers started saying, Well, you're just not interesting enough.

How's that? What about you doing all the time like this? Hey, the hoop. Yip, You come here, you all there, moss man. I'll be down by the crib. It's a matter of seconds. Any trap that I build, we're going to drop down over top, and he could teleport right on the outside of the cage. Teleport? What is this? Star Trek. He can transport outside the cage? Why are you trying to build a cage? I know. For a creature that can teleport outside cages. It doesn't make much sense. And be free again. So what I got here is a cage that I can electrify, which he can't transport through electricity. You know basically how a bug zapper works. Yeah. Well, this is-Yeah, I sure do. Yeah, he needed to crank it up and on. I sure do. I got five of those in front of my house on my front porch. I knock into them every once in a while. Largest bug zapper you ever seen. Jop, jop, bug zapper. Jop, jop. What does jop, jop mean? A giant. Oh, he said giant, giant? I thought he said, Jop, jop. Wait one second. Let's go back.

You might be right. You ever seen. Jop, jop, bug zapper. Jop, jop. I think he said, Jop, jop. It's his own mountain monster language. But of course, he's talking to a full-sized rat- You were right. Yeah. A mutant rodent. So he does probably have to tailor his language to his audience. He does. I got it. I understand. This is the idea I come up with. Two before galvanized electrifying wire. And I got this high voltage electric box that I brought with me. This will build me enough to- I've got this extremely dangerous high voltage lightning box we're going to put right under the high power transmission lines. I know it showed this big- I know. Electrical lines going through the whole 10 acres. Yeah, we've all seen it. You're driving down the road somewhere a little rural, and then out of nowhere, there's these huge power lines. They look like ski slopes. Yeah, ski slopes. They just go on forever. The ski things, the ski lifts. Those are the high wattage power lines that consist that make up the grid in the United States. They connect and they go for hundreds of miles, maybe thousands of miles, I don't know.

But they're underneath these things because they think that's where the Mothman is going to be attracted to. Their bright idea is to put yet another high voltage electrical thing right under the high... That's so dumb. Be able to energize this whole cage. Pull it up hard to the top of the bridge. Set the old burger. Once he gets up underneath of it, the motions will set it off. The cage drops down around through him. He's home to stay. He cannot transport to the outside and he can't touch the side of the cage. Can't transport. I'm pretty sure someone could transport. Electricity is not going to stop him, but I don't know. What do I know about telephoning? If he does, it'll be like barbecue. She got her done, bro. You need to know what you need to do. Tell me what you need to do, and I'm going to go get some crank, and I'll be right back. I'm going to go shake up my Mountain Dew meth bottle, and I'll be right back. She will get her done. This is a unique cage trap. It's actually the biggest bug zapper ever built. There is some tall stuff, brother.

I've rewired up my bug zapper here at the house a time or two. I'll be able to catch these moths and millers and these damn little-Who's at home rewiring their bug zapper? Who does that? I'm pretty sure people on Crystal Meth like to do that thing, don't they? Don't they like to take apart TVs and put them back together? I mean, I- You know when you're at home, rewiring your bug zapper. When you're at home, rewiring your bug zapper after a long day at a party with chiropractors, you know how it goes. Oh, Lord. Okay, let's do this. Let's take a break, and then we're going to Let's take a break, and then we'll get back to our good friends here at Mountain Monsters. We'll be back. Well, thank the baby Jesus. Brian took a breath, and now I will use this opportunity to let you know that we've got a brand new phone number. That's right. It's 212-433-3TCB, and you can text us anytime you want, or you can call or leave us a voicemail, and we might just use your message on the show once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course.

Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram at the Commercial Break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast. And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on tcbpodcast. Com. Now, I'm going to thank G one more time that we have sponsors. So thank G, and here they are. All right, we're back in our own Faraday cage over here at the Commercial Break. Let's get back to the Mountain Monsters. They're currently building the world's largest bug zapper, which imagine what these guys could be if they put.... To fly around and aggravate you and bug you. But I've never in my life built a bug zapper this big. Why would you? I mean, for what reason? Here he may have eaten. Old Moth weren't going to get to eat, bro. I have a moff. I don't even want to get him fried up in here. He was getting fried all the time. He was getting fried all the time. He was eating all the time up in here. We're planning on having some Moth wings after we get the Moth man in here. Is he drunk? Yeah, he is something. First of all, yeah, I think- Moth wings.

I think as the seasons go on, he gets drunker, and that's why he gets louder. But he is something. Or maybe that's just the way he is. I don't know. It seems like a nice enough guy. Just does a lot of weird talking. Jop, jop. Damn, that thing starts easy. So now they're... That thing starts easy. Yeah, I know. Dang, that thing starts easy. I don't trust things to start that easy. Plug it in right there, Bill. I'll show you how this little machine works right here. Flip her on, brother. Power button. I know the mock came. Power. You turned it on. Electrocubes. That's amazing. That's how it works.. He's like the real-life... Remember King of the Hill? Yes. The dad. No, the guy who would just mumble, Boomhauer. What I'm going to come up with is having a cage that I can electrify. He can't transport through electricity. How do you know that? Who has been teleporting through electricity? He was just guessing. Yeah, of course. Right back here, buddy. Oh, Lord. Oh, yeah. You see them two resistors right there? You see those two resistors right there? You want to have a great Friday night?

Stick your dick in it. Make your hair stand on end. Produce electrical force that will fry his little ass. He'll think your fourth of July has come early. He'll think the fourth of July has come early. Do you think the Mothman has a calendar? I'm just wondering. Well, Halloween's coming up. It's my busy time. It's my busy time. All the kids are going to make fun of me again. Mothman costume again. That's how I was born. . There's a lot of people down here in Mason County that have spoken about the red big pan-like gazing eyes. Buck had an awfully terrifying feeling once the Mothman had looked him straight in the eyes, and I've got grave concerns. Wait, when did the Mothman look him straight in the eyes? I don't know. He just fell over. I didn't see any moth, man. Well, no, of course, they didn't get him. Now he's just tired in the back of the trip. They're all riding in the car, and Buck got his eyes closed in the back with his heads bobbling all over the place. We've been out on investigations, and this is the first time we've came across something of this nature that would make one of the team members sick.

After seeing what I've seen up at Crashes field, I've seen these two big glowing eyes. I got- Two big glowing eyes. Look like a headlight's about a mile away. First of all, second of all, I've never been on a mountain monster set, but I guarantee this is not the first thing that has made people sick on a mountain monster set. I can only imagine what craft services looks over there. Billy. Billy. Well, I got extra Doritos, taco locos from TACO Bell and Mountain Dew, just like you requested. Now, I do have to say I bought the TACO Locos about a week ago, but they still smell okay. Jop, jop. I'm going to eat them. Sounds good to me. Passed out, and I haven't felt well since. Oh. We're getting ready to go on the interview. This guy was out in the woods. He's an avid hunter and trapper. He sighted him on a perch up on top of an old county bridge. Been closed for years. Who's hanging around an old county bridge closed for years? I mean, I realized- Well, there's not a lot to do. I realized not everybody lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

I get it. I have been friends with. I have been to. I have been out in the backwoods. I know. I've been to parties in the woods where you pretend like you're in the backwoods for a couple of days. But I don't know who's at an old bridge looking for Mothman. We're headed over to see a man named Mark. How are you doing? Pretty good. How are you? Mark's telling us that he was out deer hunting, and he sees this figure sitting on the top of this old bridge. It gives him a very eerie I was like, Oh, scientific proof. Back in the woods there, scouting for deer. And I've seen this big creature on the bridge. I love how they all have their notebooks out in their writing. I'm taking notes. As if this is an Agatha Christie murder mystery. I had no idea what it was. It was a little bigger than me. It had red, glowing eyes, and I just stand there mesmerized by it. How tall was it? It had to have been at least seven foot tall. I heard stories. Seven foot 8 foot, 9 foot? What makes it better for the television?

Wing creatures before. I told my buddies about it, and they mentioned something about a Moth Man. That's entirely possible because- That's entirely possible because we're doing an episode on Moth Man right now, and it's in the script. If my name isn't Trapper. Wasn't there a show called Trapper MD one time? I think so. Yeah, I think so. Back in the '70s. There's been a lot of sightings of the Moth Man in this part of the country. When people have close-up sightings of him, the eyes is what really gets them. I'm very excited. This took place. That's why he's wearing sunglasses. The guy they're talking to has sunglasses, and that Trapper guy starts talking to him like he knows what he's talking His mouth is wide open and he's just nodding his head and then shaking it also. He's like, That's not what I said. I said, I thought. I saw a creature. On a bridge, because that's the Mothman's portfolio. That's his Moth. His portfolio. That's his M-O. His old county bridges, their deer hunting grounds where no one else can witness. I do see a pattern coming together here. Really like to this bridge.

Mark had the sighting of Moth Man on this bridge, but the characteristics of it relate back to 1967 and the Silver Bridge collapse. What's scary is to have a sighting of Moth Man today. Everybody feels that whenever you see the Moth Man, there's tragedy it follows. I can see the- Like buck tipping over, like a sleeping cow. Yeah. Bridge. Yeah. Man, that's a unique bridge. They don't build them like that anymore, do they? They don't build them like that anymore, do they? That's what? A three, four-foot expansion bridge? That's the reason why it's closed. Yeah, there's a reason why it literally has no road anymore. It's two pieces of iron swung across a creek, I swear to God, is no bigger than six feet across. None. They don't make them like that anymore. No, they don't. Because they could literally just put some dirt in there and make a road. That bridge is way too little to hold anything, especially someone my size and the Mothman is supposed to be bigger. There's no way to hold. Mark wanted to see your bridge because the Mothman- Yeah, but if you can tell a port, now, if you could tell a port, that's a different story.

You just got to float above it a little bit, Chrissy. You're not thinking about this correctly in scientific terms. Been seeing around bridges so much that actually we're going to incorporate a bridge into our trap. Yeah, I saw that creature sitting right up on top of that rail on the right. He was just crouched on top of that rail. Are you sure it wasn't the DMT talking? It was just crowded. It was just crowded. It was taking a Mothman shit. Poops, the size of logs. It was amazing. It just put the fear God in. That's when he jumped up and glided across. That's when he jumped up and made another dropping and then flew away. I collected the scat. Would you like to see it? It's the size of the boss man. Rumor has it he's got straight intestines. Food just goes right through him. Rumor has it, Mothman has the biggest dung of any of the creatures we've chased. Jeff will know the researcher. Yeah, for sure. Weren't they one time, sticking their hands in the Wolfman scat or something? He just got up. No, he just disappeared. No, he just got up. He just got up.

Everyone's doing it now. Everyone's doing the same little noise. He just got a... I don't want to say it on national television, but... Let himself loose. He really let one go. It flew off. And it flew off. Flames coming from his anus. His dung literally set on fire coming out of his butt. And, you know. Well, that tracks with what we've heard from other Moth Man sightings. He got off into the desk. Mark didn't have a whole lot of details or facts in this story. The story was very bad. That's why we chose to focus on him. This is why we spent 15 minutes in this episode talking about him, is because he didn't really actually tell the truth. He didn't do any facts or research. He didn't do any facts or research or anything really beneficial. It was like the commercial break. I know. I felt like we were getting to commercial break territory, so I just let them go. Our whole episode is based on this one man's sightings, but in hindsight, I do have to admit, even for the Mountain Monsters, it would sound a little sketchy. But I think that he was just a little surprised at whatever he's seen, it was dark.

What do you think about what his wingspan was from where you saw him? Oh, 50 feet at least. I don't know. What's in the script? Five feet. When he opened his wing, it just came out. I don't know. Can we focus less on the poop and more about him? He also turned his head and it just got a... I'm guessing 12, 14 feet wide. That's pretty big. Mark's story is not adding up. Some of the things he was telling us just couldn't be true. The bridge wasn't the right height. I can't believe. I've never seen the Mountain Monsters discount a story like this. But this is probably, I think you're right, this is an early episode, and they're probably trying to give some credibility to this. Right, there is. Poor Mark. I mean, you go on the Mountain Monsters, you don't expect to be grilled by the Mountain Monsters. I don't know, but I just would imagine you're not thinking this is going to be an interrogation. I said, Yeah, it's all the mouth. Man, he's 48 feet high and 400 feet of wingspan. He got to have teleported away with his poop. I just really believe that he'd seen an owl.

Mark, are you- An owl. From a huge moss man to an owl. This guy's like, I've been doing ketamine therapy after I saw that moth man. Now you're telling me it was an owl? Wow, poor Mark. I know. Now all his friends are like, Yeah, you're the guy that lied on Mountain Monsters. I mean, if you couldn't get any lower. Appreciate you bringing us out here to spend the time with us. No problem. That had to been one hell of an experience. That's all I have to say. Yes, sure was. It was pretty high then. I'm not so much now. I'm actually feeling not so good. If I could go back and do some more narcotics, I'll probably I feel better. I'm not real enthusiastic with his story because the damned old bridge is so rotten. We're talking about a 600, 700-pound animal sitting on top of this bridge, and I'm pretty sure that- Whoa. They got A CGI rendering. This is no Steven Spielberg work here. No Amblin' entertainment here. There's no James Cameron. No. No. Pixar. Yeah. Pixar did not make this. It's a man. It's like a manlike creature with big wings and red, glowing eyes, drawn by my son in preschool.

To collapse with it. The Mothman may have caused the Silver Bridge to collapse. I'm going to tell you right now, it ain't going to take much for that Bridge to collapse. It's pretty rinkety, isn't it? It is. We're going to make sure we don't get anyone out on there. You're not even going to send me this time? I wouldn't send you out on there, Bucky. That bridge is so old and so decrepit. I don't even believe it would hold the weight of the Mothman, let alone a trap. We We definitely have to find another bridge to set our trap for the Mothman. The Mothman is just coming to bridges? That's all he does? Just hang out on bridges? That's apparently his portfolio. His portfolio. That's his scene, Chrissy. Some people are into emo, punk, hippie bands. You know what I'm saying? He's into bridges. Why not? Okay. Oh, that's it. We don't get any more? Oh, no, there is a follow-up video to this. There definitely is a follow-up video to this, and I would love to show it, but not today. We'll get to it next episode, I promise. We'll finish up the Mountain Monsters.

That was a good one. But anyway, we're running out of time. That was a good one. Good job, Katie. And we'll watch part two tomorrow so that we don't leave anybody in the lurch, no one in the hang. We got to find out if they actually see the Moth Man. Here's a little hint. They don't. But, A for effort. It's fun watching him try. Yeah. But at least they called out that guy on his bullshit. They did. They weren't afraid to say that guy wasn't truthful. Now, I'm wondering from a production side, because this is how my brain works. Was that guy an actor, a paid actor that they just busted on? Or did that guy actually think he saw something? And then the poor mountain monsters come in there. And just basically make him seem like a lion. I think he was Buck's friend. I think so, too. Yeah, because they had the same noise. Yeah. You know, he just... I don't know. I think Buck was like, Come on down. I think they picked them out of the Walmart produce section. That's what I think. Hey, you ever seen a Mothman? For $20.

For $20 in a case of Mountain Dew, I did. A case of paps, I did. All right, well, quick. Make up a story. You guys told me to make up the story. What the fuck? I get out, I watch the episode, now all my friends think I'm lying about Moth Man. I've got no respect in this here community. I demand a retraction. All right.
