Save your brain and get rock hard boners?
Like, this is a gift from God, man! And it's 2024, baby.
That's it.
That's all you need to know.
I identify as a brunette white male.
That is brutal what those poor princesses have to go through.
I know, their life must be so hard.
It's gotta be difficult to be a fucking princess.
Tell em Steve Dave.
Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell em Steve Dave.
Walt is here.
I am.
And BQ is back, baby. Back in the saddle.
Hello.
I heard I missed a banger of an episode.
Ming Chen.
Ming Chen.
Ming Chen Extravaganza.
Ming Chen dispensing advice.
Handing down life lessons to all who want a podcast.
Oh, really?
That's what it was?
Well, some of it.
Yeah.
Walt solicited some questions from listeners to, uh, see what they
were, they wondered about Ming and the podcasting game. Ming couldn't answer most of them though.
Yeah. The Maverick, uh, came up short. I felt on plenty of those questions. In fact, I don't think
that's why he's the Maverick man. What's more Maverick than that? He avoided every question.
Now he's throwing pizza people on the streets.
He's fucking, he's causing all sorts of problems everywhere.
Yeah.
If you haven't, uh, if you haven't seen the pizza, the pizza deal, go to Ming's Twitter
or X or whatever at a Ming Chen 37.
And you can see Ming
Mix it up with what appears to be a homeless guy
Wait that guy was homeless. I believe so. I mean that's what makes me said he sort of thought that was the case I haven't done it in quite some time, but I hope you guys don't mind but can I
Dedicate this episode to a listener
Sure, whenever it in the past, it's always seemed to be worthy.
Well, I think this one is definitely worthy. I had a listener contact me and tell me
something that warmed my heart. He was working in a retail situation and he was wearing
something four-color demon related. and a customer came in and knew what
TSD was and started talking shit.
What?
What?
Yes.
Started talking shit about TSD.
He was saying shit about Bri saying shit about VQ.
But it was when he said that Walt Flanagan was a self-righteous,
uh, what was the other?
Egotistical.
Egotistical prude.
This, this listener got out from behind the counter, fucking, and threw
this customer out of the store.
What kind of store was it, do you know?
It was a drug store.
A drug store?
Good.
I mean, I would have him rather him throwing them out when he was offending me in BQ. He didn't have to get to you.
He did say though, which I thought was funny, he said, it was only when he said I was a
prude that it annoyed him.
When you said that you were a prude?
Yeah, when the guy-
A self-proclaimed prude?
No, when the guy accused me of being a prude.
Oh, when the guy said you were a prude.
That's when he got, that's when it was, he had said too much.
He felt, and he told him to get the fuck out of the store and not to come back.
All right. That's how a young BQ got his start.
He's got said he's going to try to send me the security footage.
That would be amazing.
Oh, that would be fucking cool.
If we could put that up on our YouTube.
He's not worried about losing his job,
treating customers like that?
I, that's why I don't think the security
footage is ever coming because then I could
probably get him in trouble.
But I told him I would, I would tile it out,
you know, and make sure he, his face can't be
seen or any of the establishment, you know,
but we'll see, see if we can get that footage.
But I thought that was awesome because I think a lot of people walk around thinking that
they can talk shit as if they're online in the real world nowadays.
They get this comfort zone that like, well, I said it online, why can't I say it here?
I don't find that with people.
I find most people are postseason season don't say shit in public.
Yeah, me too.
Oh no, man.
I see, I see it all the time.
People say shit and they kind of fucking realize they're like, oh my
God, I shouldn't have said that.
I didn't type that.
Yeah, I didn't type that.
I said that out loud.
And then they backtrack so fast.
Yeah.
I, uh, I did. That has not been my experience.
I find that like, yeah, I agree with Brian.
Like most people, again, like I think the type of person that goes online and writes
like sour fucking missives and shit like that, nasty little fucking comments.
I think like in person, I don't know, I think, I don't
think they would say it like the type of person that goes online to be like, yeah, bitchy
little comment, bitchy little comment. It like gets the joy out of that. It's like in person,
like you wouldn't even want to be around that person. So it's like, you probably, I don't
know, I probably wouldn't run into that person because no people don't talk like that in
real life, but country little comments and like shit screaming into the void constantly about like things
I don't like about that.
I've rarely met people like that in the real life vault.
You're telling me you see that in the real world?
I've seen it.
Yeah, I've seen it at stores, people like talking to employees pretty harshly and, and being, you know, jerks and
just like, you know, flexing their muscles because they, you know, they feel that
they're online and they're not online, you know, and it's gross.
Whatever happened to, when did it evaporate?
When did this become not doable for most people?
When did, if you don't have something nice to say,
say nothing?
Why is that so hard to do in 2024?
Cause talking shit is easy.
Coming up with nice things about people is difficult.
No, no, just being, if you don't have anything nice to say,
say nothing.
Oh, don't say anything negative at all.
Well, fuck, I'd be a mute.
I'd be Helen Keller over here.
But why is that so far?
You think today in today's world?
I think that, I mean, I've said it before.
I just, I think people are unhappy and I, I think that
in the modern society breeds. Yeah. I I've said, like I've said, man and I think that modern society breeds...
And they want to spread the misery?
Yeah, like I said, man, I don't think happy people go online and make little...
You know what I mean?
If you're happy with your life and you're fucking...
Because I've done it in the past and every time I've done it, I've been a fucking little piece of shit.
You know what I mean?
So I just think that people who feel good about their own lives and stuff like that
don't go online and scream and make little shitty comments and stuff like that.
Because look, it is fun at times to do that.
Like nobody's saying it's not, but like there are people who just do it.
Like it's their identity.
I don't know, man.
It's just-
Well, it is fun to troll people.
I think just people are unhappy.
But it's brutal though.
You see what some of these real famous people have to go through like the princess.
What she had to go through and all the trolls and all the nasty comments and it's just
– how do you deal with that if you're getting that kind of level of hate and –
Which princess? The princess who had – Meghan Markle? Or Kate Middleton? Both of them. at if you're getting that kind of level of hate and-
Which princess?
The princess who had-
Meghan Markle?
Or Kate Middleton?
Well, Kate Middleton, I think, is favored over- nobody likes Meghan Markle.
Why though?
What did she do so wrong?
Because she's one of these Hollywood inside type people who think she's hotter than shit
and I think that's why people don't like her.
Why do you assume that though?
What proof do you have that she thinks?
I'm saying what I glean, what I gather from reading, you know, press.
I just think it's brutal what those poor princesses have to go through.
I know. Their life must be so hard. It's got to be difficult to be a fucking princess.
If you saw, if you did a deep dive and just saw some of the fucking heinous shit people
write about them, I think you would be Sure. I think you would be shocked.
I think you would be absolutely appalled.
What could be worse than wishing death upon somebody though?
Because I remember like, remember when Kevin got that troll and somebody was like, instead
of making him an issue, he would have died.
And that somebody wrote that.
Wow.
Yeah.
And like what's worse than that though?
I don't know if somebody made fun of me in one of our YouTube videos that I dyed my hair still.
Really?
Yeah. I was like, what?
That's worse than dye.
That's worse than wishing death upon him.
They were making fun of me.
It's a different type of dye.
I want to be able to tell that person, I hope they're listening, is like,
I identify as a white male with brunette hair.
And it's 2024, baby.
That's it.
That's all you need to know.
I identify as a brunette white male.
Fuck, fuck off.
That should be enough.
I should not have to hear anybody say anything about my dye job.
You shouldn't.
Well, that's the world we live in.
It's not a world like that.
Like if this were back in the day when it was, it was like, hey, if you have nothing
nice to say, don't say anything at all, it might've worked.
But somebody's like, all right, dye your hair, will you?
We'll just see about that.
I think like for me, there's, you know, I could look back at fucking 10 years of criticism
online, like, you know what I mean?
Like just people ripping on us and shit. The only time it's ever bothered me was when I agreed with
them. Like, you know what I mean? Like where somebody says a nasty comment that I'm like,
ah, they kind of got a point. But like that happens so fucking rarely that you just got
to water like it says more about them than you and you just, just ignore it, man. Who
gives a fuck? I mean, who gives a fuck? You know what what I mean like who cares what they say about your hair fuck them stay offline
It's easy unless you agreed with them, then it might sting
No, I don't agree with them, but it's easy to say that though
you know it's easy to say that and then
You know who cares who would but?
It's it's I just think it's easier said than done. And look, man, that is a lie that sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never
hurt me.
That's bullshit.
It's bullshit.
Words can hurt just as much, if not more, than sticks and stones.
Yeah, but I mean, like, if I go online and see somebody like say some shit about me like
whatever look at this fat fuck right?
I was like I'm like alright so what who gives a fuck somebody says like he's not funny I'm
like okay it's like sure I have a fucking highly successful career in comedy so I'm
not you know what I mean like you're just like I don't if I don't give a fuck I don't
know well I think you just got to like, fuck him, fuck him, bro.
I know, again, it's very easy,
you said that, but I'll show you a guy,
I'll point to something I just watched online.
It was on Apple TV, it's called The Dynasty,
and it's a multi-part documentary
about the New England Patriots,
and they have coverage of Bill Belichick and some of his head coaches
and they have footage of them like listening to talk radio, reading the newspaper, the columns
and being highly annoyed about the criticisms that they're facing even though they're fucking at the
top of their game. Yeah, I think there's a little bit of a difference Walt between getting criticized in
Like a national news program or a national paper as opposed to one fucking dickless asshole online
Who's got no better to do than to be like here's a fucking funny little nasty comment
Maybe remember me like like I think it's a little different. I
Disagree, I think it's the same different. At the end of the day, I disagree. I think it's the same thing.
It's just a different context though.
They were telling Belichick that he didn't know what he was doing and like these idiots,
we got to get rid of all of them.
They're making all the wrong decisions and then bam, they win multiple Super Bowls and
they still can't stop listening to talk radio on the way to the job.
They're listening to talk radio and getting agitated about the ignorance of the callers,
critiquing them or criticizing them.
But that's like, if say you're a contractor and you have the homeowner come in and be
like, oh, I don't know if I would do it that way.
Are you sure you're supposed to do it that way?
It's like these armchair people who like, Belichick should be like, oh, I don't know if I would do it that way. Are you sure you're supposed to do it that way? It's like these armchair people who like Belichick should be like, these people don't
even know what the fuck they're talking about.
He should be.
Yeah, he should be able to just –
Just like you said, you tell these people to fuck off, but it's hard as a human being
though to –
But like somebody saying like, hey man, Walt dyes his hair.
It's like that's just a fact.
It's like it's not –
Well, they didn't say that. It wasn't – it wouldn't be that bad if it was just a man, Walt dyes his hair. It's like, that's just a fact. It's like, it's not going to be hurtful. Well, they didn't say that.
It wouldn't be that bad if it was just, hey, Walt dyed his hair.
No, it was like, Walt looks like an idiot dying his hair at his age.
Oh, OK.
Well, I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to say it.
I could put it out there on Broad Street.
Well, it does help clarify a little bit
that you're not that easily offended.
Like, Walt dyes his hair.
Who said that?
What? I'm not denying it. But Walt Dyes his hair, who said that? What?
I'm not denying it.
I just like – but I think it's like why did that person feel the need to say that
and hurt my feelings?
But I see you all the time and not once has it ever occurred to me like, oh, he looks
like an idiot.
Yeah, but you're – it's different though.
It's just different.
I don't know why that person gets up and is watching and is like, you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to write this.
Yeah, for me it would be-
What purpose though?
Yeah, definitely. For me, if I'm watching something and I'm like, oh wow,
that guy fucking is dying his hair, it's obvious. Howard Stern, obvious case of somebody who's
either dying their hair or is wearing a wig and is denying it. The dude's hair is jet black at
70 years old and people have called him on it and he insists that it's his real hair.
Not once have I don't think it's his real hair, but not once have I ever been like, I think I'll tweet in.
I think I'll tweet in.
Like Tom Brady was in this documentary called the dynasty and
I really think he's dying his hair too.
If I had to guess if I had to weigh big bucks, I'm almost positive he's dying.
I couldn't see one white hair on that guy's head.
I'm like, but I would never go – well, I just did now and said that.
I would never be prompted to go write a review or write a comment online that I think Tom
Brady is dying his hair.
He looks – what a joke.
What a vain asshole.
It's hard to call him a joke.
It's tough to call Tom Brady a joke, regardless of what he does anymore.
But I guarantee you though, even Tom Brady, I bet you when he looks at online comments
and if he sees something, I just think even he is probably annoyed or stung by some criticism.
I don't think so, dude.
I don't think he cares.
If he was to admit it.
How could he care?
If he could be brutally honest.
Because why would Bill Belichick?
Why would Bill Belichick?
He said he's reached the mountain just as many times as Tom Brady.
Well, actually one less time than Tom Brady. but he was at the top of his game.
He was called the greatest coach ever in the, in the entire history of the league.
He was considered the greatest coach that ever coached and he's still finding time
to listen to criticism, listen to fucking people who are fucking making donuts.
But yet are telling Bill Belichick how we
should have coached the team.
And he's still finding time to be agitated by it.
He shouldn't because like sports is made for trash talking.
Like modern sports is a little like sanitized, right?
But like we all know that when guys get on that field and start playing each other and
there were no rules and no penalties.
No Mike's trash talk and no Mike's it's fucking trash talk.
Arama.
I think it's built into.
I think sports has lost something.
Oh, well there's definitely penalties.
Now there are certain things you can't say.
You can't call somebody you know, you know, you know what? Sure. I understand that. That I get.
If the referee hears it, you're going to get a penalty if he hears that word.
No, let's say you're of the same, same color. Can you not friendly?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I don't. I wasn't. That wasn't the word.
Oh, that's not the word?
No, no. I, you know, I think it's a word that, you know, you, you know.
Oh, okay. Not very nice to gay people. Yeah, okay. Oh
Yeah, well look I
That's you know, I
Guess you know, there's some people that we I don't know there are some people that would get hurt by that
I guess you're of course like that
But I mean like if you're just like just ripping on someone and calling them a fucking bitch or like calling them like
they say, I don't know. Like I just think trash talking is built into it. Um, so maybe
he should have a thicker skin. You know what I'm saying? Bella check. Because I guarantee
when he was listening to the radio, when he was just a fan, he was sitting there going
like, Oh fuck Yogi Barrow, whoever the hell he was playing you know what I mean like it's built into the sport I think that's a long difference
from someone how did somebody comment on your your hair where was that Twitter or I was
on YouTube look at this clown still dyeing his hair I mean that person I tried to get
it removed from YouTube but but YouTube wouldn't,
they wouldn't strike it. I don't think the person that said that is happy is a happy
person because a happy person does not go on. A happy person doesn't give a fuck about
your hair. Okay. And then if they do and want to have part of the show, part of the spirit
of the show, you know, there's ways to do it that are fun, like a little tongue in cheek.
That's not a happy person.
But what if you found out and what if I found out he's absolutely happy?
I think that's impossible.
Really?
Brian, is that impossible?
I don't think a happy person does that.
I don't think it's impossible.
I don't think it's impossible.
No, I wouldn't say that, but it does speak of having the time to go out of your way to
– and it doesn't take long to leave a comment, but it's just as easy, in fact
easier to not leave a comment.
It's easier just to not say shit, to just think like, oh my God, look at this guy.
That's it.
Move on with your day.
But to go down – who is it for?
It wasn't addressed directly to you. So is, like why is he even writing it?
That's what I'm saying.
It's serving something inside of them that needs to be, the fucking guy, he can't stop.
He needs something to make himself feel better.
Whereas a happy person has a wife they love, has a house they
love, has fucking whatever, does not worry about going on to comment about die jobs.
It's good advice, Q. And you know what I did do? I went out and I brought a darker
shade of dye. So fuck this guy. I was like, fuck you. I'm going to dye a darker asshole.
My wife was like, are you sure?
I was like, I'm sure.
Jet black, that's the only way to go.
I'll show him.
Like the dye box has a black guy, has like a black guy on the cover.
Yeah, this will match that.
I saw something.
I did a show, who are these podcasts?
A show that I like.
And shout out to our friend, Trucker Andy, who was repping Four Color Demons with a cap
on the show.
Nice.
But I went back and I looked at the comments to see what people were thinking.
And one of the comments struck me that I was just like, I don't agree with it, but it was
like tell them Steve Dave used to be the best podcast out there until Brian Q got these
big egos
and after that it's
I guess so according to this person. I was just I was trying to find evidence of it. I was trying to think back
He never mentioned me he didn't mention you no, okay. No nothing about your ego or your hair or anything
No, nothing about your ego or your hair or anything. Look, I'm a human.
I'm sure there have been times I've displayed something akin to that, but I think anybody
who knows me overall does not think that I have a show ruining ego.
I wouldn't think so either.
Yeah, I read that and I tried to think about like, I mean, is there anyone more self-deprecating
than myself?
Is there anyone who admitted to self-hatred more than me?
Like where, I just don't get where the ego comes from.
Oh, they were talking about you?
They were talking about me and you.
Oh, we ruined the two of us.
Together we ruined it with our big egos.
I mean, that's mystifying to me.
I couldn't think of it.
You have a big ego.
Yeah, me, yeah, I have.
All right.
But that's the thing, like that's the thing about art.
And if we consider podcasts an art, which why not, like it's open to interpretation. Right? Right. So at least they're talking
about you. You know, he didn't mention me though. He didn't mention you. Well, you should,
if you really want to see some vicious comments next, next time we're together, what I'll do is
I'll sit you down and take you through all the comments in the episodes that were released
after Joe left the show of Practical Jokers.
It was a fucking bloodbath.
It was a slaughterhouse, man.
Bloodbath.
I'm not watching the show without Joe.
No Joe, no show, which we always found funny because it's just like, well, yeah, there is a show. There is a show without Joe, so I don't know what to tell you. But like,
you know, we, we, we get slaughtered and like I'll get, I'll see people on Twitter or X,
whatever the fuck it's called being like, the show sucks now without Joe. I've never
watched an episode without Joe. And you're like, Hmm. Then how do you know? How do you
know the show sucks? Yeah, I know. It's like, but these are the people you're dealing with.
Like, why is a person hunting me out on Twitter to write no Joe, no show to me?
Like, what does that person get from that?
Yeah, you've got to wonder.
That's why I would love to like meet people like that and talk to them.
But that's the same type of person that if he were to see Q in the wild, he'd be like,
oh my God, it's Q. Can I get a picture? Hey Q, I love the show. Oh, and even if you
sat down a person like that and be like, look, dude, we're responsible for a hundred people's
fucking, you know, incomes. We have a contract to make the show. You know what I mean? Like
if you explained all these things, like we still want to do the show. I still love doing
it. Why should I stop? Cause you can explain all these things, like we still want to do the show. I still love doing it. Why should I stop?
Because you can explain all of that to them and it wouldn't change their fucking mind
to say they'd be like, no Joe, no show.
So it's like, not to mention Joe left of his own accord.
Joe left.
I didn't want him to go.
I fucking wish Joe was still on the show.
Of course I wish he was still on the show.
He did most of the fucking work.
Did it upset any of the guys?
No, we, we...
Look...
When you read the comments, I mean.
No, I don't think so.
No?
No, I don't think so.
Well, you guys are...
I mean, I don't know. I guess it says more about me then that it bothered me though.
You know, I don't know. Maybe a little...
Were you human?
Well, just like a snipe out of nowhere for no reason. You know, I was a little, yeah, it's like it says something about my self-confidence
then or my vanity.
They know?
Or my, I don't know.
And again, I think you're 100% right how you should proceed when seeing things like that,
but it's hard.
It's hard though.
It's hard.
You're a human.
It's not like I'm perfect.
Like I said, sometimes I'll read comics where I'm like, ah, I kind of not agree, but like
I see where they're coming from type thing.
You know what I mean?
And it hurts.
You know, it does.
I can't say that I've never gone online and
Read something bad about myself or people who try to dig up like personal fucking shit like psycho
you know what I mean, like that that hasn't bothered me, but I
Would say 90% of the times I'm like, this is a psycho
This is a fucking person who this is an unhappy person
This is a miserable like you're able to like see for where it's coming from
But it's not easy Walton. I've I've I've gotten bothered by stuff, too
So I don't want to sit here like I'm some sort of fucking Buddha
But for the most part you feel you have like
Kind of a duck
Body it says more about where you have not like not your body shape. I mean like your father like a dog
Or you have not like not your body shape. I mean like your father like it
No, like it's like water off the back of a duck I meant I
Truly feel it says more about them than it says about me. I do. Okay. Yeah
that's a good way to like handle shit just like just keep reminding yourself of that, but
You know, I got a work. And also stay offline.
I don't go online.
Yeah.
Yeah, I could do that.
Like any time I go, yeah, just stay the fuck off.
Just don't even go.
Yeah.
That's right.
Yeah, I don't read comments either usually just because it's like, then I
would have to address them.
You know?
Yeah, that's the idea.
I try not to do that.
I try.
I like to address things.
Feel it's a, it's a bad move.
Done it.
And then always just like what a waste of time.
Well, you can't win an argument online.
It's not possible.
We have a man here that's won.
I think he's like, he's almost got like a 900 percentage win record.
Get him, Steve Dave.
I wish he could talk about all his victories online.
This is a man that wins nine out of 10 arguments online.
No, are these people that concede?
Are they like, all right, all right, you got me.
No, he pretty much proclaimed himself the winner.
Oh, he did.
And moves on.
That's what we should do.
We're the winners.
Why not?
Why doesn't his opinion holds as much weight as these fucking psychos online.
So if Gideon says he won, who are we to say he didn't win?
He won. Right?
Very, very true.
Yeah.
Nobody's opinion matters and we'll all be dead in a hundred years. So what the fuck does it, you know?
Gittem's right.
But when I die?
Fucking hair is gonna be black in that coffin, bitch.
Good. Hell yeah.
It's going to be darker than the fucking wood finish on that fucking coffin.
It's going to be staining the satin in the coffin and shit.
When we dig him up in a hundred years, his hair will be perfectly preserved from the
chemicals.
Yeah, it's like women dye their hair.
Like nobody says a goddamn word about it.
Well, look, like I said, man, if I identify as a brunette, that should be, end of story.
Who's the saying that?
End of conversation, right?
End of conversation.
It's supposed to be.
It's supposed to be, but it's not for certain.
We don't have the same protection as other folks.
Nobody's looking out for us.
What do you mean, brunettes? Nobody's looking out for us.
What do you mean brunettes?
You know what, Bud?
Can I tell you this too, Bud?
I hosted this Make-A-Wish thing in the city today.
For about five hours today, I was spending my time talking with kids who have cancer,
kids who have debilitating disease, kids who are in wheelchairs that can't walk, kids with
deformities and like really I just got home from it.
And it's like I was immersed in it all day and you meet these kids and you see their
capacity for joy.
You know what I mean? And I remember when I was
young I would be like, life sucks. You know what I mean? And I'm depressed. I don't feel
down. And then you see these kids and it's like, the doctor's literally like, we don't
know if we're going to be able to beat this. The mother's crying while she's talking to
me and these kids are just playing with each other and talking to you. And it's like man they are facing things that I have never had to face and
probably won't have to face until I get old and my health starts going and you know what I mean and
so in the face of that it's I think it's good to keep that in mind and it's hard to
worry about what some fucking dickweed says about your hair when you have two beautiful healthy kids a
Beautiful healthy family, you know what I mean? Like it's I know this is what I'm saying. You're happy. You're happy
You know you have a great life a great family
Like advice brother. Yeah, you're you're 100% right. You're you're fucking
This goes for everybody here everybody who deals with like – I wish Meghan Markle would listen to this podcast and all
the people like her all the years.
She doesn't listen to little people like us.
No.
She's Meghan Markle.
I think even Mrs. Five doesn't like her.
That says a lot.
Wow.
Really?
Yeah.
I think she's not crazy about her. Could be wrong just in case
I don't want to smirk Mrs. Five and her relationship with Meghan Markle. Did you go see Ghostbusters?
I saw, well, I went to the premiere, I saw Ghostbusters. Yeah, I saw Ghostbusters. I
saw the part. They had the change. I was supposed to be, I was supposed to have a little thing
in it. Anyway, a bunch of things happened. So I saw where I would have been in it and I was like, oh man.
Could have been me.
I was a little depressed. It could have, it should have been me. It could have been me.
But you know, a lot of it takes place on Staten Island. I didn't know that.
I was not aware. Are you going to see it, Walt?
Oh yeah.
Will you go see it?
I'll see it. I've always enjoyed Ghostbusters. I think Hugh's age group worships Ghostbusters, like
Ming. Ming is your age, right?
Yeah, a little older, slightly older.
I like Ghostbusters, and I think Hugh's demographic, like his age group, loves Ghostbusters. But
I've always liked it. I've liked every version of it. There hasn't been, even the girl one, I was the only one championing the girls one.
I thought that guy, Thor, was great in that one.
I went online and commented about you.
This one looks good too.
I heard it's the best opening of any Ghostbusters or something like that.
Is it?
Yeah, some crazy.
I had fun with it.
I had fun with it. A lot of people I know saw it had fun with it
But I have some people that I know and like who hate it
So I have to go see it again because I was like, oh that was fun
But I saw it at the premiere and I had Annie Potts to like once two seats down to my left
Dan Aykroyd was sitting up front, you know what I mean? Like Bill Murray was there
It's hard like I can't give a fair shake to it because I had such a good time. You know what I mean? Like anytime
anybody walked on screen, everybody was like, yeah. You know what I mean? So I was like,
so I had a lot of fun, but people I respect are like, ah, I didn't like it so much. But
people I respect are like, they love it. And, and there is something to knowing that, you
know, the Ghostbusters new home is on Staten Island. I have that pride, brother.
When I see that, I'm like, yeah, yeah.
The Ecto-1 going over the Verrazano Bridge, I'm like, yeah.
Gets me all ready, man.
Gets me excited.
What is it about Staten Island that captivates people's attention?
Now the Ghostbusters are there.
What we do in the shadows set in Staten Island?
A lot of stuff comes from Staten Island.
That's a good question. of Staten Island. Why has it become the jewel of the shore all of a sudden?
Because say what you will about Staten Island and people say a lot about it.
It has a reputation, it has a personality, it has its quirks that are known now nationwide So it's in kind of an easy target, but once people kick something enough
You know then a kind of affection comes in so I think we're in the period where people like
What am I gonna do make another joke about fucking Staten Island or am I gonna embrace it a little bit?
I think we're in that I think when that error or at least that's what I like to tell myself. I think
New Jersey also has a kind has the same kind of feelings.
We've always been made fun of.
Like New York's little brother.
I was watching All in the Family a couple days ago and Archie was comparing two things
and he's like, it's even worse than Jersey.
We've had our share of barbs thrown our way too and you know, we've tried to make the best of it
Fuck them. I wouldn't have it any other way man
What do I want to do what I want to be the fucking top dog?
I want to be the underdog, you know what I mean? I want to be the fucking guy that everybody's take, you know
Give it to me. That's where the interesting shit is. What are you go to fucking Queens? Who gives a fuck about Queens man
Anymore? Nobody. Nobody gives a fuck about Manhattan or the Bronx or the Queens. Actually,
Staten Island might be the most popular borough right now.
Really?
You said it. You said it, not me, my friend.
After all these years of dissing Staten Island and pretending it's part of the city.
Yeah. I mean, I don't want to go too far in this because like there's a lot of,
there's a lot of bad stories about Staten Island flow.
They are not handling this migrant crisis well at all.
Oh no, I've seen some of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a little, you know, you're a little bit like, not that, you know, not that
the pot, the politics of it, I'm not really that interested in, but the behavior
of people is a little bit like-
That's where the Staten Island comes out.
Yeah, a little bit.
I wish it wouldn't.
Even if I agree with some of the things, I'm like, guys, you got to be shining flashlights
into little kids' beds if they're trying to sleep.
I don't know if we need to do that.
Is that what they're doing?
Yeah, there was a protest where these fucking dingbats
were outside one of the shelters
and like shining super bright lights into the room
and stuff and like somebody was like,
yo, there are kids getting terrified in here, man.
And they didn't stop.
And you're like, dude, like, I mean, you know,
do you want to be the person that's doing that?
You know, it's like Walt's fucking die job.
Like, why do you want to be the person that's?
Doing that even if you'd be known. Yeah
Yeah, so I'm a little disappointed in that but no no no that aside, you know, I love this borough with all my heart and soul so
What are you excited today was opening day for baseball? I know you're big Yankees fan
I was going to be excited, but then I completely forgot about it because I was in the thing today. I got to get back in, Walt. Honestly, I've been going to fucking more Mets games in the past few years
because of my friends are fucking Mets fans and stuff, then I have Yankees.
I got to get back into it, but I want to be back into it, Walt. I want to get back into it, but I'm, I'm, I want to be back into a Walt.
I want to get back into a full time.
It doesn't feel like it's baseball season.
Does it though?
It feels too cold still.
It's cold and wet and muddy and shitty.
Fucking sucks, man.
I've been in Florida every weekend for the past three weeks.
So to go down there and it's 80 degrees and then to come home and it's fucking
30 degrees, I'm, I'm crying over here.
It gets me pissed off. It makes me want to go online and make nasty comments about people.
Well, you can make nasty comments about the weather. If you want to criticize the weather,
that's okay. Take it out on the weather.
Yeah. But why not, why not, and you can tell I just came from a room full of kids with
cancer, why not celebrate it a little bit?
The weather?
Yeah, the cold sucks, but what are you going to do?
You know what's worse than the cold being dead?
True.
This is a very optimistic look on the sunny side, Q.
I love it.
Do you?
Some is coming, baby.
So I like going over to Q's house and sitting there and just
fucking ragging about shit.
Really?
Oh, love it.
Love it.
Oh, that's always available to you, Brian.
Well, because we make ourselves laugh.
Yeah.
misery loves company.
Yeah.
Is that what's going on?
Could be.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Well, I find when Brian and I get together, it's like, we're mainly,
we're mainly ripping on ourselves.
Yeah, we're just trying to make ourselves laugh.
Yeah, we're just really making fun of ourselves.
Yeah, I don't know, Walt.
Today, I remember the last time I did a Make-A-Wish thing like this.
I walked away feeling the same way.
That shine lasted for a few months.
Right, well, yeah.
Maybe I'm annoying right now.
It really affects you in a good way, I imagine. It makes you more appreciative and
it has to. I mean, you'd have to be fucking
insane not to like walk out of, you know, dealing with something like that and then realize, you know,
insane not to walk out of dealing with something like that and then realize all the shit that you were bitching about before means nothing to what those kids are going through and their
families.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's heartbreaking stuff, man.
Right.
I remember that effect to me when we were doing a comic book, man, this family came in and
they were on their way down to Philadelphia to the children's hospital because the girl
had eye cancer.
She was fucking six or seven years old.
I wonder if like you were saying, Q, like they're all playing with each other and they
seem happy and they're doing their own thing.
Maybe like conceptually, like it's different for them because like for them to conceive
of death may be very difficult whereas for people our age is like, oh shit, look at these
kids. They don't know how fucking raw they have it.
I don't know, man.
I think these kids have faced like a lot of painful surgeries and, and, you
know, and realities and stuff.
I don't think they're ignorant to their, their plight.
That's not the sense I got.
Um, you didn't complain a bitch in front of them.
You should have seen how long it took me to park. Um, you didn't complain a bitch in front of them. Yeah. I was like, fuck man, dude, I was like, I worked a fucking 14 hour day yesterday.
Kid, how do you fucking feel about that?
Let me read a couple of things to you boys real quickly.
If you don't mind.
Let me read about prize picks the largest daily fantasy sports DFS platform in North America.
PrizePix is the easiest and most exciting way to play DFS.
It's just you against the numbers instead of battling thousands of other players including
pros and sharks.
You pick more or less than on a two to six player stat projection and watch the winnings
roll in.
Like you were saying, while football season is over, but baseball is here. You can play NBA, NHL and college basketball.
And you can win up to 100 times your money with as little as 4 correct picks and turn
$10 into $1,000.
Conference tournaments are here, which means the biggest moments of college basketball
are getting close.
That's that March madness, right?
That's what they're talking about.
Be a part of the action on prize picks for both men and women's college basketball.
And prize picks even offers injury insurance so that if your entries stay in play, even
if one of your players gets injured.
For basketball games, if you have a player who exits the game in the first half and does
not return in the second, that player projection won't count against you and the rest of your
entry stays live.
So if this sounds like something that interests you, go to prizepix.com slash
TESD and use code TESD for a first deposit match up to a hundred dollars.
That's prizepix.com slash TESD and use code TESD for a first deposit match
up to a hundred dollars, pick more, pick less.
It's that easy.

Well-
Came plenty.
Is the commercial officially over?
Because I want to say something about it, but I don't want to directly have the company
endorse what I'm saying.
So I can say the commercial's over.
Commercial's over.
And maybe Get-Em could look this up, but I read something the other day in the New York
Times that said that a new study came out that said taking the active ingredient in
Viagra reduces your chances
of getting Alzheimer's by a significant amount.
Yeah, I heard that too.
If that's true, that is fucking incredible, man.
What's better than that?
Save your brain and get rock hard boners?
This is a gift from God, man.
Blue chew is like a hand coming down from heaven and handing it to you.
That's wild.
It's supposedly supposed to take the plaque off your brain, right?
If I remember the article I read.
Yeah.
That's significant, isn't it?
Do you ever worry about that?
Alzheimer's?
Dementia and Alzheimer's and stuff? No.
My grandfather started getting demented towards the end, so it's a concern.
I think if you've had relatives.
My mother's been demented ever since I can remember.
But I would imagine, yeah.
I haven't had any, knock on wood, any relatives suffer from dementia so I don't it wasn't
something that I thought about like oh my god that my does that my is that my
fate in you know in the future but yeah if I think that they're going to
probably come close to not if not curing like making major strides in dealing with dementia as hopefully by the
time in 20 years, they're being like they could get it really under control and make
it keep it to a minimum.
That would be nice because it's a pretty ugly disease, man.
Oh, yeah.
It's awful.
Although I saw this thing once.
It was a lady, the older lady, you know, with her old husband
and she had to put him in a home.
And when she went to visit him, like he didn't remember her and he was like, hey, do you
want to meet my girlfriend?
And he had like an old lady girlfriend there.
But the lady was just like, I was happy for him because he was happy.
You have to, I guess it's tough.
It's tough after like, I mean, how long you've been married, you know, like 50 years or whatever.
And then suddenly your husband's like, oh, here's my girlfriend and I don't remember
you at all.
Yeah, they're just basically a different person.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's when you head right over to Fantasies and you start your own path.
Walt, could I do a quick, I buy comics.
Yes.
Because I have a recommendation that I think, I don't know if you've even, this is more
for you, but there's a comic book, there was a comic book last year called Superman Space
Age.
Have you heard about this one?
No.
Okay.
It's, the art was by Mike Allred, who we know as the good man man.
And it was written by a guy named Mark Russell.
And the reason I'm bringing it up is because one, the series is excellent.
And it's a different take on Superman.
It's like set back in the 80s and whatnot.
But remember how we bagged on Pariah in Crisis so bad for being like a whiny, cryy-like bitch?
They've managed to make Pariah like a fucking
cool ass character that I'm like, oh man, I hope that they do more with this. They just
released the first issue of a Batman version of that series and Pariah is in it. And for
the first time in all my years of reading comics, I got fucking excited to see Pariah,
dude. It was wild. The art is great. The stories imaginative
like Superman space age. And so far, this first issue of the Batman version is is a
home run as well. I think you would like it. It feels like old school fucking cool comics.
I'm going to check it out. What's the Batman one called?
I think Dark Age.
Barked. Okay.
It's Superman space age Batman Dark Age Dark Age. And they're all retro.
They're set a little bit in the past.
And dude, it felt like I was reading the comics that I read when I was younger.
You were growing up.
Nice.
Yeah.
And they made Pariah cool.
I mean, making Pariah cool is something I didn't think no fucking way.
Even Perez couldn't do it.
No, no, not at all.
Not at all.
So there you go.
That's iBuy Comics corner today.
Want to hear about a Vietnamese dude with an eel in his ass?
Of course.
Kind of question is that.
Live 12 inch eel removed from Vietnamese man's abdomen after it slid up his anus
Now I have to you guys are gonna have to put on your detective caps and see if you believe this
a
Vietnamese man had a live eel surgically removed from his abdomen and doctors believe it slid up his anus
They think the sea creature entered the man's body through his anus slid through his colon and
Then was found after doctors performed an ultrasound and x-ray which showed a foreign object was
in his digestive tract.
It says the rectal area has a lot of fecal fluid and is easily infected with bacteria
but is performed safely so the surgery did not have any problems.
The eel caused intestinal perforation and periottontis.
Periottontis, a condition that causes inflammation in the stomach or
abdomen.
And then the man was kept in the hospital after having abdominal pain, having mild abdominal
pain after waking up.
So my question is.
He definitely got it swimming.
Like he just took like maybe a skinny dip.
And the eel was just like.
I don't think there's any funny business going on.
I don't think there's any funny business going on. I don't think I don't.
Why would you jump to the conclusion that he put it there on purpose?
Well there was also statistics of like people who are like, it says over 400 people per
year in Vietnam or, or the UK.
I can't remember which one show up to the hospital with objects in their ass weight
trying to get them out like light bulbs and eels and all kinds of stuff.
I think you have to be twisted to put a live eel there though.
Well, what about like hamsters and gerbils?
I think those are urban myths.
I don't think that's ever happened.
I don't think it's ever happened.
I think that's the Richard Gere thing and the Rod Stewart thing.
I think they're all fucking urban legends and they never happened once and they just became lore. But yeah,
I think no sane person. He might, if he did do it on purpose, he has to be insane then
to put a live eel.
There's some-
Are they electric?
Some are, not all. I mean, electric eel, I think he would probably, he might have died because he's zapped pretty
strongly.
Have you ever seen like a person touching electric eel?
It gives them a shock, man.
It like knocks them back.
Yeah.
So they're trying to jam it up your ass.
But that may be what he was going for though.
Oh, like a vibrator almost.
Yeah.
Yeah, you might be right.
If that's what he, if he was doing it for pleasure, I think it was just a one in a million
chance.
He was just going for a skinny dip and you'll happen to be there.
You know, they're laughing here, you don't think so?
You don't think it's possible that he just, he was unlucky and he just happened to swim
in it and saw a hole and Thought it was like cavern. I
Mean that would point you just clench. I mean how much has got to get in there before you like whoa? Whoa? Whoa?
Yeah, well you think like this is a disappear like a spaghetti and clenching
It's an eel. It's gonna keep going
You can't clench forever you
It's gonna keep going. You can't clench forever.
You can't clench the eel.
What the fuck is up with this eel?
I don't think that it's gonna wanna go up to a clenching, dirty, freaking out asshole.
Well, compared to the Indian Ocean, I bet you that, you know, I'm sure it was a fucking
day at the spa, that guy's asshole I don't think it was I don't
think that the EO probably thought it was dirty at all
you make people shit in that ocean I don't I you know the guy definitely
stuck an eel up his ass seriously yeah of course he engineered it. Yeah, of course. No way. No way. What maniac would
do that? Then he's mentally ill then, right? Like, he's a guy that's not like, I mean,
seriously, like, like he's probably like, he doesn't have a grasp on reality. He's that
out of out of touch with reality. I I believe so. Yeah. Yeah
institutionalized I
Mean for life hurting besides an eel just let him go like you let him fucking stick doing his own thing. Why care? I?
Know a dude
Okay in a major award right one of the three or four major awards a maverick
Yeah, like entertainment woods who like told me for a fact that that like
He's used his award as a sex toy. I think everything's gone up people's fucking on another person
uh
Unpick difference big difference. Well, I want, big difference. I want to fuck you with my Oscar.
I didn't say it was an Oscar, but I wouldn't necessarily say that knowing this person that
they didn't put it up their own ass at some point. I think I think if it exists, it's going up some dudes ass, but it's still
It's still a writhing creature like it moves. It's a it's a living creature
That's the best part is it's it's not just like stationary. It's not static. It's like it's wiggling around in your butt
It's all wet
Making it feel good. No way
Neil I your butt, it's all wet, making it feel good. No way. It doesn't.
I think it was a total accident and probably felt it but just wanted to deny it to himself.
It was like, no, I just didn't feel something go up there.
Right.
Probably then by not acting on it and trying to deny reality, it slithered further
and further and further until it became like-
This isn't happening.
This isn't happening.
And then it became like I got to go, and no one's ever going to believe me that it was
an accident.
Cue's commenting it online right now.
Be a boy.
It was a boy?
What's up, Beelzebub?
It was a guy, yeah.
It was a man. It usually happens to men though, so that kind of like, it always blows my theory out
the water though.
It's usually like, you don't ever see girls run to the fucking emergency room with some
weird eel up their ass.
It's always some wacko.
It's always some dude, yeah.
It's always some horny dude.
If it was a girl, would you be more able to believe her if it was an accident?
Well, no, because you've seen that tentacle porn, right?
What's that?
I said you've seen that tentacle porn, so it's entirely possible.
Oh, that is the most repulsive fucking thing, that tentacle porn.
Man, I can get through behind a lot of fucking crazy shit, but that tentacle porn is
So you think that you think that the man with the eel was into tentacle porn
Is it possible think that there's probably there's probably an overlap
Yeah, somewhere there. It's horrible. How come he can't how come he can't sue the hospital for releasing his fucking records
Well, I don't think they said they just said said it was a guy. They didn't give us.
But somebody, somebody at that hospital though, leaked it though.
There's only so much you can do Walt, if a guy comes in with an eel up his asshole,
like we're all humans.
You gotta tell someone.
You should be able to find out who leaked that though.
Because that's wrong. You're not supposed to find out who leaked that though. Because that's wrong.
You're not supposed to leak medical issues like that, man.
They should open an investigation and really fucking bring down the house on this guy.
Where was it in?
He's unidentified.
In Kashmir?
He's in the Quang Ninh province.
Oh boy.
Wherever that is.
Somewhere in Vietnam, I assume.
I think the doctors are being nice to him by saying like, yeah, you probably just slid
through your butt.
We don't suspect you of anything.
Yeah, but why is it being reported though?
You saw it online.
Right.
You know why.
The only reason it's salacious.
Sure.
It's an oddity.
Do you think he started in like trying to get a girl to like jam a finger up there
or something and then he moved on to a carrot stick, to like a little vibrator.
Then he moved on, like he went up and up the ladder until there was nothing left besides
like I need to fucking heal up my keister.
Could be diminishing returns from the fingers and the carrot sticks and shit.
Yeah.
You don't, you don't start at an eel is what I'm saying.
No.
Like there's a journey there.
So you think there may be different animals that have, that he has gotten to get up there.
Or do you think this is the first live animal?
Maybe like an earthworm at first.
For all we know, this is his fifth eel and this is the first one that went wrong. You know, maybe the four eels before were just fine.
He was able to get them out with no problem.
People eat eels too, right?
Yeah.
I went to the fish store one time and they had a whole batch of eels in there.
I was like, who the fuck would eat this?
Get him every eaten eel?
Nope.
Get him says no.
Me and get him want to do a YouTube video. whole batch of eels in there. I was like, who the fuck would eat this? Get him every meal. Nope. Get him says no.
Me and get him want to do a YouTube video about how to escape from quicksand.
We're talking about it today. Oh yeah. Yeah.
We just don't know if there's any quicksand in New Jersey.
I would think probably not.
Wasn't it something you always feared as a kid?
I think Sal does a bit, doesn't he? He's a, he's a,
Sal does a bit where he's like, I think quicks, I always thought as a kid quicksand I think Sal does a bit, doesn't he? He's a, he, Sal does a bit where he's like, I think Quicksand, I always thought as a
kid, Quicksand would be, Quicksand would be a much bigger problem in life when I got older.
But like as a kid in the seventies, man, you saw it on every TV show.
Yeah.
There was always somebody getting caught like Gilligan's Island or, or land of the lost
or something.
So how far do you think we have to travel to find a real plot of quicksand?
Where quicksand would exist?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Let me check it out.
Could we make it?
Could we make you like a quicksand pit and see how it works?
How would you go about that even?
It doesn't have to be like a natural occurrence?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, they used to make it for movies, right?
They used to make quicksand.
I don't think it was functioning quicksand in the movies though.
Says from Alaska to Florida, but hotspots include the marshy coasts of the Southeast,
such as Florida and the Carolinas and the canyons of Southern Utah.
Southern Utah, Northern something or other.
He told me he knows a sure far way to get out of quicksand too.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
I would like to see get him in quicksand.
Battling his way out.
He told me with like with such arrogance and bravado that he'd be like, I'd be out in
two seconds.
He'd be out of the quicksand in two seconds?
I don't know. You don't believe it? Neither did I. he'd be like, I'd be out in two seconds. He'd be out of the quicksand in two seconds.
Well, if you do make the video, just disable the comments.
You got to go Q? Uh, yeah, I got a couple more minutes.
Okay, great.
Yeah, I mean, unless you just want to fucking wrap it up.
No, no, I know you said you had to go out.
Yeah, I got a sick family member I gotta go deliver something to.
Never ends, bro.
You're out there, man.
You're fucking- Taking out there, man.
Taking care of sick people all day.
It is the fucking every fucking weekend is a tour weekend. There are travel weekend for some shit.
I need a fucking day off, but here I am delivering.
I'm like a fucking nurse running around this goddamn island, delivering,
delivering hope to children of Manhattan.
I'm delivering drugs
to old women on Staten Island. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? I'm
happy to be alive, Walt. I'm happy to be able to provide this service for the people. Assistance.
I'm here to serve. The greatest thing a man could do is serve. That's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I got another 10 minutes or so for the old TESD.
I got an email.
Oh, wow.
Did we know the results of the poll?
We do.
I can look them up right now.
Hold on a sec.
Oh, right, right.
The Will Rogers, Tom Mieleczewski?
Did I just hang up on him?
Yeah.
Are you still there?
No, I'm here.
Okay, good.
Yeah, I'm here.
All right.
Let me see here.
I know I was crying about my hair, but I kind of looked at some of those
comments about, about that episode.
And I don't know if I should be crying about, about my hair.
Oh, why they would go, people were like weighing in very seriously.
Yeah, of course.
There's always some people who just fucking take it and just go over the line.
I don't know what it is with, with today's listenership that they use.
Some of them, not all of them, but man, they just gotta go, just
gotta go over the line and be mean.
I don't, I don't get it.
Yeah.
Why be mean to us?
What'd we do?
And by us, I like, like, all the people
who are good enough and kind enough to come onto the show
and try to provide some entertainment, you know?
Don't scare them off by, like, fucking obliterating them
and making them feel like shit.
Well, I get the feeling Tom's immune to that, right?
Tom?
No. Oh, I don't think so. No, no, no, no, he's sensitive, man. Yeah, Tom's immune to that, right? Tom?
No.
Are we talking about-
Oh, I don't think so.
No.
Really?
No, no.
He's a sensitive man.
Yeah, he's just a boy.
Really?
Tom is?
I saw one time, I felt so bad, he said that, he just wrote, I feel like I'm the Jar Jar
Binks of TSD Town.
He wishes.
Oh.
Right?
Like it just ruined my weekend.
Yeah.
I felt so bad. That's not true. Did you go after him like you used to go after Jar Jar? Like it just ruined my weekend.
Did you go after him? Like he used to go after Jar Jar.
What do you mean?
Did you say, like you had said, someone say everything's about Jar Jar and he, uh.
No, no, no.
Somebody that Tom wrote that, that he felt like he was the Jar Jar Banks of TSM.
Right, right.
And it ruined my weekend because I felt that, yeah, I knew how, how he was feeling
down and I felt horrible that like he felt he had to write because I felt that, yeah, I knew how he was feeling down.
And I felt horrible that he felt he had to write that.
He felt that down that he would go online and write that.
He had to tell somebody.
He wasn't telling his wife.
Right.
Because once you'd be like, who the fuck's George R.R.
Pinks?
And secondly, he was like, what do you mean he's the loser of the Star Wars universe?
Was that recent he said that to you?
He didn't even say it to me.
I just happened to see it online and I was just like, and I tried to send them some,
some pick me ups without trying to let them know that I had seen and post that.
You know,
See the shame.
You know, like trying to be a, give a little like, you know, you're, you know, that was
such a great job you did on this and this whole thing that he didn't realize.
I was just like, yeah, give him a little, give him a little pick me up. Yeah. Yeah. I like Tom.
Everybody that comes on, we're all friends. So I don't know why people don't realize that
we are all friends. So there is no need to write, sometimes even write me personally on my email
account to tell me how much you don't like somebody or how they are destroying your enjoyment or something.
Just dial it down a little bit and just before you send it, just do it yourself.
Read it and go, do I need to send this?
And I bet you 99 out of 100 times you'll say to yourself, I really don't need to send this. And I bet you 99 out of 100 times you'll say to yourself, I really
don't need to send this. I'm not going to get anything out of this.
Yeah. Well, what people need to understand too, and this is like the same as like back
in the stern days, it's like a huge cast of people. It's unlikely that you're going to
fucking love every single one of them. It's not like a guy like say Rush Limbaugh, right?
Where you're like, you either love them or you hate him or you just don't give a fuck,
but it's one guy.
He didn't have a group of other people that he would bring on, like regulars?
I don't think so.
I think he was too busy yapping.
But with a cast of characters like we have, it's like, sure, not every personality is
going to be suited to you.
You might not like that person, but it's like, so what? You just got to live with it because that's the way it is.
That's the way it is.
Yeah. Plus like to me, it's like, I mean, we've been doing this for so long. Like,
who's still getting riled up about this show?
Be surprised.
Jesus Christ, guys.
You would think, yeah, they all crossed over an age line that they don't have the energy
anymore to fucking get to write nasty emails or post nasty comments.
But now it's worse.
They're all ornery and cantankerous and shit.
I think it's out of all that blue chew.
We're not too far away from these people opening the newspaper and seeing that that someone from the show has died and how are they going to feel then?
Right.
You know what I mean?
Horrible you would call it.
And they have Robert Bruce for example, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
But what do you got on the poll?
Who won?
It's at 64% to 36%.
Tom, the Jar Jar of Tell'em Steve Dave Town has taken the title.
Has taken the title as Mr. Overkill.
As Mr. Overkill, yeah. I think if you want to make somebody feel better,
I think Will Rogers isn't feeling too good about it.
You know what? Will, we'll find you another Mr. Something. You're going to be Mr. Something.
You mean like Mr. Cleanup after we shoot something.
You can come and help the hammermen.
Really, if Tom is Mr. Overkill,
we'll come up with another Mr. Title
that you can go up against somebody else.
Yeah.
What if he loses again?
That's okay. Then we'll come up with another Mr. Blank.
You know what Sage always tells me?
Sage is one of these people she goes,
she goes, never give up.
Right.
Never give up.
Never give up, Dada.
Mm-hmm. I'm like, you're talking to the wrong guy.
Tell him, Steve.
Sage and-
Oh, sorry. Sage, go ahead.
I was going to say Sage and Winston Churchill have the same advice about life. That's pretty cool.
We'll fight them on the beaches.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know if they're going to rally Europe the way that Churchill did.
Yeah, probably not.
Wait, what's she talking about?
Before we do jump, because I have been thinking about Tom and Will since we recorded that.
And I honestly thought Will, first of all, you didn't lose by that much.
He only lost by like 10%. That's, you know what I mean? It's not that big of a gap.
I don't know what math you guys have on Spatial Island.
It's more like 28%.
Well, you know, out of a hundred.
It's fuzzy, man. It's not an island.
Math is racist.
It is. But I thought he did a great job. I thought he clearly, it was important to him
and he loved it. I felt like maybe, just maybe, we didn't explain to him the assignment as
well as we could have.
I don't know if that's accurate.
Come on, Waltz. Waltz, Waltz, Waltz. Come on, Waltz.
I don't want to take the blame for something that wasn't
my fault when I specifically and clearly wrote in a text what we needed.
But that's okay though because when he, both of those guys came in and provided, I
thought a banger of an episode and they will both come on again in the future and provide
more content and
Isn't right at the end today? That's what all that really matters is doesn't matter who won or lost it was the episode good
I thought it was some people did some people didn't
Just like fucking every other form of entertainment sure right right and every episode of the show right?
It's it I I don't get it sometimes it is confounding but
We'll find something. I think this that mr. Mr. Will Rogers will become mr. Will blank Rogers
It's not overkill. It's not overkill that ship is sailed. Yeah, right
But he's but like we say I think we said it to him off air where it's just like dude
You're already you're already. Like you're already in like,
your foot in the door. And once you get your foot in the door, it's, it's hard to like, you know, to find your way out.
Right, right. So he, his loss was exactly what we needed from him. And he gave it to us.
And he's working on something right now that I am so excited for that I can't wait
this Halloween to announce. And it's going to be awesome. And he's great for TSD,
as is Tom, as is everybody. Everybody's a flower in TSD town. If you don't have something nice to say
about somebody, say nothing. But if you do have something nice to say, scream it from the hills of TSD town.
Now if you have something nasty to say, just come tell me privately.
Tell them Steve, Dave.
We fight your friends. We fight your great-awesomes.
We fight your great-grandsons.
Grandsons fight your aunt.
Fight your aunt Alan.
Girls love the baby.
Fight your little bitches.
Fight your grand-grandsons.
Fight your great-grandfathers.
And your sweets.
Fight your great-grandmothers.
So it's rather.
