Hey, thanks for tuning in to the TCB infomercial with Nacho Redundo.

I personally don't think I've been as excited about one guest ever in the history of the

commercial break. And the reasons are varied. Not only do I like EDN, Esquela Daynata,

the podcast he is a part of, but Nacho and Edian live large in the hearts and

minds of many of the Venezuelans that circle my universe. So this gives me a true opportunity

to be kind of a rock star with people who may not normally tune into the commercial break.

But my reason for popping on ahead of time is twofold. Number one,

to tell you this is a really long episode of the commercial break, but I think you're going to

enjoy this conversation. And you'll notice that Chrissy is not a part of that conversation. The only

reason why is the scheduling conflict. So while you may not hear her, she's here in spirit. But number

two, last week I announced I'd be doing a separate podcast called After the Break.

Nothing is happening to the commercial break.

This continues to be my baby.

And sitting with Chrissy four times a week and doing this show is the true highlight of my life outside of my children and being married to Astrid.

I'd like to take the opportunity to play that trailer for After the Break right now,

before the show starts, and then you'll have an opportunity after this episode to go take a listen.

You can find it anywhere you download your podcast, wherever you're listening to this show right now,

search for After the Break, and you can put in my name, Brian Green, if you want to.

Okay, without further delay, my trailer for ATB and then my conversation with Nacho Redundo.

You make this rather snappy, won't you? I have some very heavy thinking to do before 10 o'clock.

Hi, I'm Brian Green, creator and co-host of the Commercial Break podcast. For years, I've been cracking jokes with my best friend, riffing on the absurd and trying to make sense of this weird little ball we're all spinning on, but through improv comedy. And man, do I love doing it? But sometimes the chaos isn't enough. For me, some stories deserve a bit of a deeper dive. Some topics are just too fascinating, too ridiculous, or too important to skate past

with just a punchline. That's why we're here. After the break, each week I'll take one subject,
