#649: Fart Guy

Speaker 1 We have a lot of listeners who hate listening, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I believe, I could be wrong, but I believe someone called me a Karen because of the way I acted about that.

Speaker 1 I think you catch me and then spin me around.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I bet.

Speaker 2 Tell him, Steve Dave.

Speaker 1 Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Tell'em Steve Dave. Hey, Q.
Hello. Hey, Walt.
Yo.

Speaker 1 And some people have been wondering, I see it online once in a while, why has Gidem been so silent lately? The reason is he sets up and he never puts a mic out for himself.

Speaker 1 Isn't it because people have asked for that for nigh a decade? Yeah, see, some people like him, though. I like him.
Yeah, some people like them.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm sure there'll be waves of get him.

Speaker 1 There'll be more get him here in there. You want get him, you got to go on Patreon.
Then you get more get him than you can shake a stick at.

Speaker 1 He's smart, though, because if he stays away for a while, that makes people want him even more.

Speaker 1 They forget. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's why he's the smartest man in podcasting. He knows when to step back for a little bit

Speaker 1 for six months to make the demand grow. So when he does come back, when he throws out a clunker or two or ten,

Speaker 1 people are like, oh, well, at least he's back. Yeah.
Yeah. All right.

Speaker 1 They're more readily able to dismiss some like stupid shit he says or misinformation he fucking drops. I bet you there are people who miss hate listening to get them for sure.

Speaker 1 You know, they're like, I wish you would come on just so I could hate them. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's a, we have a lot of listeners who hate listening, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Hey, guys.

Speaker 1 Probably still here.

Speaker 1 Keep listening, though, guys. Any day now, it'll be exactly what you want it to be.

Speaker 1 Spending your life listening.

Speaker 1 So, I got a big choice to make this weekend, Q. What do you got? I'll help you with it.
All right, thanks. You're good.

Speaker 1 I'm going on a road trip

Speaker 1 for a couple days. The fifth anniversary is coming up.
Oh, yeah, yeah, August. It's on my calendar.
I didn't notice him.

Speaker 1 So, I'm like, well, maybe we'll recreate the trip to Maine that we took right after the wedding. Okay.

Speaker 1 And then I looked at how long it takes to get to Maine. It's no short drive, man.
No. Like for some reason, I thought it was like six hours.
Well, didn't you drive it the first time to get there?

Speaker 1 I did, yeah, but it was all in love and stuff.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 oh, that gas tank was fueled with love. Yeah, we didn't stop once.
We just had to fill up the gas.

Speaker 1 We floated all the way to Maine.

Speaker 1 Now you came and float out your driveway.

Speaker 1 Nah, not today.

Speaker 1 Have you guys left the house this summer?

Speaker 1 You have a couple of times, not much, but a couple of times. Usually it's to go out to lunch or breakfast.

Speaker 1 But as far as going, like, hey, let's do something. I think the

Speaker 1 county fair was the last thing. That was like three weeks ago.
That's nice, though. County fair.
Yeah. Getting back to

Speaker 1 things that people now dismiss as

Speaker 1 kind of

Speaker 1 not

Speaker 1 cool. Right.
It's Americana. Yeah.
And people don't like this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's been a backlash against Americana Q.

Speaker 1 Aren't we in the backlash to the backlash, though?

Speaker 1 I thought we realized that those people sucked.

Speaker 1 And everybody was like, oh, no, no.

Speaker 1 No?

Speaker 1 No. So, yeah, so I think I might go to Megan, but I'm thinking, do you know of anywhere that's like north of here that's a little bit closer that you've gone to? I know there's Boston, but like.

Speaker 1 What vibe are you looking for? I think sort of a laid-back,

Speaker 1 laid-back, maybe maybe coastal vibe. I'm not sure how much you've been on the eastern seaboard here.
Well, Maine, but I mean, what would you do in Maine?

Speaker 1 Like, when you got to Maine, what were you looking to do?

Speaker 1 We were just looking to get pancakes,

Speaker 1 some blueberry pancakes, and

Speaker 1 go see Stephen King's house.

Speaker 1 That's pretty much all we did.

Speaker 1 Because I was just like, yeah, just because it's like night, like, you know, you've been there. Well, you know, it's beautiful everywhere.
It is beautiful. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We just did two shows in Bangor last this year or last year. Oh, yeah? Did you do anything while you were there? I went to see Stephen King's house.
Oh, did you? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 He doesn't live there anymore.

Speaker 1 It's like a museum he's turning into or his archives, I think.

Speaker 1 But there's a good restaurant there that I could look up for you. It was good.
But in terms of like,

Speaker 1 I mean, I wouldn't go all the way up there just looking at the house Stephen King used to look at it.

Speaker 1 What about Niagara Falls? I think Niagara Falls is a little bit closer. A little bit.
We've been there. Why don't you do like Nashville? Do something like

Speaker 1 Nashville? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know. It's a real far ride, though.
You could do it in one day. Get him help.

Speaker 1 Look that up, buddy.

Speaker 1 He'll be exhausted when he gets there, man. He won't be able to do anything.
How long do you think is the limit on what you would want to drive to Nashville?

Speaker 1 It would be the same as Maine. It would be like nine hours.
Nine hours, yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 And even then, it's like that's two days either end in a car. Yes.
You know, if I can take the whole nine hours anymore. I mean,

Speaker 1 that's a lot of love to fill that gas tank to get you all the way to Nashville. Yeah, that was five years years ago.
This was five years ago.

Speaker 1 13 hours. We go to Anchorage, Alaska.

Speaker 1 Well, what about

Speaker 1 14 hours? Okay. So why not a plane? Why not hop on a plane to Nashville? I don't know.
I just

Speaker 1 want to say that. That's a romantic as a road trip, but it's over in two hours.
That's true.

Speaker 1 You could be making love an hour for $103.

Speaker 1 $103. Is that Spirit?

Speaker 1 American United Spirit seems to be a dangerous spirit. It seems dangerous to me.

Speaker 1 Delaware? What about Delaware? Delaware's got some nice

Speaker 1 Rehoboth Beach. Oh, there you go.
United.

Speaker 1 Two and a half hours. $117 round trip.
It really is.

Speaker 1 Maybe I'll go to Nashville. Oh, there you go, dude.
All right. Honestly,

Speaker 1 before I even did Nashville, I would do something like

Speaker 1 Raleigh or Charleston.

Speaker 1 A real southern-like romantic vibe, city savannah. I know she wouldn't want to do it, but I was like, I'd like to go look at some Civil War type shit, you know? some of that old school stuff.
Really?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would like to do that. Wow, you've crossed over to that age, huh? Yeah, I'm one of them now.

Speaker 1 One of the grey hairs that's happening to me. I don't know.
Oh, my God. There's nothing less I would like to see than a Civil War museum.
Oh, really?

Speaker 1 I walked past

Speaker 1 not a naval museum,

Speaker 1 a maritime museum on my cruise. And

Speaker 1 they,

Speaker 1 you know, people that I I was walking with were like you like made the move to walk towards the door to even inspect it I was like no

Speaker 1 no thank you I am not going in a museum especially one about fucking maritime

Speaker 1 to a maritime museum down in Key West man it's cool like all the plunder and shit oh the shipwreck museum

Speaker 1 I love that I've been there many times I'm actually it's funny because I'm we rap season 12 next week very very fucking excited we have the rap party that night the next morning I get a plane to go to Key West I'm like fucking I'm getting right down there gonna do some wasting any time.

Speaker 1 And on my list of things, I was like, man, I really want to go to that Rails and Sales Museum there. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so I was so looking forward to it. I was like, oh, trains and boats.

Speaker 1 This sounds so nice. So I don't know.
Well, maybe we're just hitting that age, you know? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 Because I don't need to see a piece of fucking driftwood in the shape of a fucking Ben Franklin's head or something. Why not?

Speaker 1 What else are you looking at?

Speaker 1 And And some netting. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The stories are cool, like the stories about how people used to

Speaker 1 turn out all the lights

Speaker 1 so the ships would crash. Yeah.
And then they could go and like, what was the law called? Do you remember the law? Wrecking? The wrecking law? Yeah,

Speaker 1 anybody, as long as you save the people on the ship, you could take the cash in the ship. You could take the stuff in the ship, yeah.
And like a lot of these ships had like gold in them and stuff.

Speaker 1 So I would purposely crash them.

Speaker 1 Well, I had read something new about it the other day where they said they would take a light and put it on a donkey's saddle, a donkey, a donkey's saddle, and have it walk along the shore so it looked like a boat was sailing along the shore until the boats would head over that way.

Speaker 1 And then they'd be like, here it is, let's go get our fucking cotton bales, boy.

Speaker 1 Feed the animal a carrot, like real scumbags. Yeah, love it.
It's a way to make some money, though.

Speaker 1 It was, yeah. It's not illegal.

Speaker 1 You know, technically. Technically.

Speaker 1 But one of us was on a boat this past week. Yeah.
While flying again. That's right.
He was on the cruise ship. On the poop cruise.
On On a cruise to St. John.

Speaker 1 When last we met, I was in a bit of a

Speaker 1 funk about my masculinity. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like my volumes, my

Speaker 1 levels. Yeah.
You must have pepped up after you saw those Photoshops of you looking masculine.

Speaker 1 I don't think the cruise did anything to help me feel more masculine. There's a couple of things that happened that

Speaker 1 made me feel more feminine than ever.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was this, we did the, there was not a lot to do on a boat, and we were,

Speaker 1 we had to resort to filling the time by doing things that we normally would never be, haven't never even considered doing, like doing a trivia contest. Right.

Speaker 1 So we went down and did a trivia contest, and it was like a name that tune for cartoons.

Speaker 1 Oh. Cartoon themes.
Your wheelhouse. Yeah.
Yeah. And

Speaker 1 I have Frank with me, who's he's a bit younger. So he has that era where I stopped, I got out of cartoons.
And then I have that era where he wasn't even alive yet. So we are fucking,

Speaker 1 we're getting everyone right.

Speaker 1 We're in a bar, too. It's a bar situation where everybody's sitting at a bar who's playing and they're teams.
And there are teams of like four or five people.

Speaker 1 And all of a sudden, the song, because you have to write down the song when you hear it on a piece of paper. And we're supremely confident that we're 10 for 10 out of 20 so far.

Speaker 1 Then track 11 plays, and it's the theme to the 66 Spider Man, 67 Spider-Man cartoon series. You should know that.
They only play it for a second, and I knew it immediately.

Speaker 1 But the whole bar was like in a tizzy.

Speaker 1 Nobody knew it. So I'm sitting there like fucking the Cheshire Cat.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, motherfucker. I'm the only one at this fucking, in this bar that knows what this is.

Speaker 1 And somebody says, makes a complaint and yells out to the guy who's running the trivia contest or the name that tune

Speaker 1 that they should strike that song

Speaker 1 because it's too hard and nobody knows what it is.

Speaker 1 And then all of a sudden he's like, oh, should I throw that one out and do a different one?

Speaker 1 And they're like, we're going to throw that one out. That one doesn't count.
Did you step up? I did in a way that

Speaker 1 had people.

Speaker 1 I believe, I could be wrong, but I believe someone called me a Karen because of the way I acted about that.

Speaker 1 Because I said that I should not be penalized for knowing the answer. For knowing the answer.
I said, I know the answer. Why on earth would we strike? How many people are playing, would you say? 70.

Speaker 1 That's a pretty big group of people. It's a group, like they're groups of five, six at all these tables.
In the moment, are you like, whoa, whoa, whoa,

Speaker 1 or is it after in the moment I started. Excuse me, can I see the manager of the bar and the game?

Speaker 1 In the moment, I start off thinking it's not, they're really not going to strike it. I think he's kidding around.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm kind of like

Speaker 1 playing around, kind of like, you know, not being serious.

Speaker 1 But then as he plays the next fucking track, I'm like, whoa, wait a minute, we're really fucking throwing that one out that I know because I'm the only one that knows it, I go.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I heard someone say, like, I heard someone at the other table, I heard say, We got a Karen. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 And I don't know if he was talking about me, but I'm the only one who's complaining.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you put two and two together. Yeah.
So I was so fucking annoyed when, especially when the next track came up, and that we didn't know it,

Speaker 1 that I cheated.

Speaker 1 And then when we had,

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 kind of got up and got a tissue and I looked at somebody else's paper. And I came back and I was like, I think it's, I don't know what it was, something new too, something new age,

Speaker 1 like fucking adventure time or something. I don't remember what it was.
It was something that I would be

Speaker 1 well after my time of watching cartoons.

Speaker 1 So we cheated on that. And then when it came time

Speaker 1 to do the tallying,

Speaker 1 we again had to I lied again because I was so mad that we got 20 for 20.

Speaker 1 That's what you said you got? Yeah, right. Yeah, but we really only got 18, though.
So just because I was so mad, I was like, I deserve the prize for what they did. And what was the prize?

Speaker 1 What'd you get? It was a keychain. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 What was on the keychain?

Speaker 1 The Royal Caribbean. Oh, no, God.

Speaker 1 You go 18, even if you did go 18 for 20. It's worth more than that.
That's hard shit.

Speaker 1 Naming

Speaker 1 themes from cartoons from fucking deck 40, 50 years ago. Oh, yeah, my brain was bleeding at times because I was like, oh my God, I know that.

Speaker 1 I just had to sit there and just like, like, black out everything. I was like inside my own head.
Like, nothing else existed.

Speaker 1 I was in a room, like, by myself, just like watching TV at like seven years old, trying to

Speaker 1 somebody beat you.

Speaker 1 No, I won. How'd you win? Oh, you, oh, you won.
I cheated, yeah.

Speaker 1 When I got robbed of the Spider-Man fucking tune, I was hell-bent. And especially when someone fucking, I heard the word Karen being lobbied around.
I was like, all right, asshole, I'm going to win.

Speaker 1 Now, if that's the way it's going to go down, I don't have, and I don't feel any guilt for doing it. Do you think you genuinely won, though? Like, let's say they cancel each other out.

Speaker 1 The one that you got, the one you cheated on. Do you remember when the Patriots were accused of taking the air out of the football? Oh, sure.
That's when I lost all respect for them.

Speaker 1 But do they still own that Super Bowl trophy? Yeah. Okay.
I own that fucking keychain. Proud of that.
I'm not arguing with you.

Speaker 1 I won, though. Everybody, as far as everybody knows on that boat, knows I won when I went.
Right, but what do you think really happened? Do you think that somebody had more than you? Somebody had 19.

Speaker 1 I know they did.

Speaker 1 Because they got the answers right that I got wrong. And I cheated and said

Speaker 1 I got them all right when I only got 18 out of 20, right? Oof.

Speaker 1 Is the winner? Being called a Karen, though, it doesn't help your

Speaker 1 mood.

Speaker 1 It doesn't help you feel more masculine, though. No, I guess it wouldn't.
No, you're being feminized. You're being reduced to like a complaining woman.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 A shrew. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And then the next day,

Speaker 1 I had to run back to my cabin because I didn't feel like carrying around my cup.

Speaker 1 You get assigned a cup and you can bring the cup everywhere and it works at the soda machine and you don't have to pay for soda then. Nice.
I don't feel like carrying it around though. But

Speaker 1 okay, but didn't you used to go to the mall with that little sippy cup?

Speaker 1 I mean, that was mall.

Speaker 1 That was Kevin Smith saying I did that once.

Speaker 1 And then, all of a sudden, Kevin made it sound like I did it every time we went anywhere.

Speaker 1 And plus, that was a Dixie cup. I could throw it away when I was done.

Speaker 1 This is a giant fucking cup with some sort of

Speaker 1 space age technology that allows it to be read by the soda machine. Like a chip.
Yeah, there's a chip in it. Wait, wait, wait.
How many keychains did you get for winning? One.

Speaker 1 Where's that keychain now?

Speaker 1 In a fit of rage later on in the night, I just threw it

Speaker 1 overboard to a wells blow.

Speaker 1 Wow, that's not cheap. 40 bucks for two cups.
That's on eBay?

Speaker 1 What can you do with those cups? You can't go on the boat and use them again. You're going to what? Those Sylveniers? Well, anyway, so I'm going back to my cabin.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm the only one that goes back. Everybody else stays because we're getting ready to go watch Saturday Night Fever, a Broadway-esque kind of play about Saturday Night Fever.

Speaker 1 I don't feel like carrying a cup. So I'm walking down the hallway.
I'm the only one in the hallway.

Speaker 1 No, just let it ring.

Speaker 1 And.

Speaker 1 Okay, we'll go get it then.

Speaker 1 I don't even quite

Speaker 1 expect a package. People sat there that

Speaker 1 shit.

Speaker 1 What does one do?

Speaker 1 So I'm going down the hallway, and there's this group of maybe five teens,

Speaker 1 Asian teens,

Speaker 1 four boys and a and a female.

Speaker 1 And I don't know what they're doing, but they're they look like they're up to something.

Speaker 1 They're acting weird. But when they see me, they start acting very animated and start, and they have very thick accents.
They're speaking English, but it's very thick.

Speaker 1 And they start going, bro, bro, bro. And they want to give me a high five.

Speaker 1 And my

Speaker 1 so my radar's off. Something like something's not going on.
I don't know what these kids are doing in this hallway, but they're acting weird. So I don't give them a high five.

Speaker 1 And then they start going, oh, that's not cool. That's not cool.
No high five. That's not cool.

Speaker 1 I'm hearing it in Ming's voice, as you say.

Speaker 1 And I'm just looking at him. I'm like,

Speaker 1 I don't even say anything. And they're like, whoa, I can't believe it.
You're going to leave me hanging. But again, it's not as clear as that.
It's kind of broken.

Speaker 1 It sounds very, there's a big thick accent. What country is the accent from? Asian.
Asian.

Speaker 1 And as I walk away,

Speaker 1 they say something about now, either it's fart guy or fall guy.

Speaker 1 One is much funnier than the other. And the way that they're all laughing.
I know which one I believe

Speaker 1 to believe it is. But the way that they're all laughing, it has to be fart.
Yeah. Because when one guy calls me fart guy,

Speaker 1 they all start laughing.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 but I didn't fart. I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is. Because it's whatever country they're from, that's an insult.

Speaker 1 Or it translated to like fuckhead to fart guy.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's amazing. So I guess so I turn around and this is like, okay, if a masculine guy

Speaker 1 would take on these teens. So it's like, yeah, so like the my masculine masculine side of me

Speaker 1 is

Speaker 1 screaming in on one side of my ears like, all right, it's fucking go time. Let's go fucking Bernie Getz on these fucks.

Speaker 1 Where's my screwdriver?

Speaker 1 Okay, and I got that face on. You know, I go, I like, what the fuck did you say?

Speaker 1 And then I keep going,

Speaker 1 but they start laughing again. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 This is going to work. I was unprepared for this.
That's what

Speaker 1 my feminine side is like, yo, they're just kids, chill out.

Speaker 1 They're going to kick my ass.

Speaker 1 They might know kung fu.

Speaker 1 Oh, five of them.

Speaker 1 And so then I'm like, all right,

Speaker 1 I'm going to go report it. I'll go right to the fucking captain and I'll be like, I want these fucking animals put in the brig.

Speaker 1 I want them to spend the rest of the fucking cruise on the brig acting this way and ruining my vacation. Fart guy, indeed.

Speaker 1 Fart guy, will you? Fart guy, should I?

Speaker 1 So I go, I go, I just go, I just shake my head, like, all right assholes so I go put my cup in my room and I come back out and they're not there but when I get to the elevator so they know what room you're in now yeah yeah

Speaker 1 so I get to the elevator they're there again and they're like oh fuck I fuck I back

Speaker 1 why did you just high five of them

Speaker 2 because

Speaker 1 I I don't know I they felt like they were immediately from the get-go get-go, they were ridiculing me from the instant they saw me. Okay.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I get back to Deb, Frank, and the Mrs. Five.
And

Speaker 1 I start telling them, like, I'm fucking furious. I said, I'm going to fucking go report these fucking scumbags.
And I'm going to even say it's maybe it's a racial incident. Oh, I hate crime.

Speaker 1 Because, you know, they're targeted at me because, you know, I'm an old white guy.

Speaker 1 And my wife is like, well, the show is about to start. I go, let's just watch the show and calm down.

Speaker 1 And she was right, though. You know, after watching like an almost two hours of, you know, dudes disco dancing in polyester pants, I was fucking calmed.
I calmed down. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 It was a fucking great show.

Speaker 1 It was awesome.

Speaker 1 When we were like right, we could get hit with sweat beads. We were so close to the stage.
Yeah. Yeah.
Frank got there like two hours early.

Speaker 1 We know that there are these people on fucking boats, man. They're animals when it comes to.
It's no joke, man.

Speaker 1 Like the chairs, the chase lounges by pools, people are are up there at like six in the morning putting their towels on them and shit. Yeah, it's no joke on these.

Speaker 1 You know, by the time the show was over,

Speaker 1 my anger had subsided a bit, and I didn't even mention it. I just let it go.

Speaker 1 Did you tell everybody what they said to you?

Speaker 1 You didn't tell Debin, though? What, Fart Guy? Yeah. Yeah, they thought it was funny.

Speaker 1 They didn't think it was as offensive as you did. Yeah.
It's easy for them to say. They're not fart guy.
But yeah, I don't even know why.

Speaker 1 It's like, I didn't, there was no noise that emitted from me that would make them, give them any indication that I had farted in front of them.

Speaker 1 Which somehow makes it funnier.

Speaker 1 And like

Speaker 1 when they yelled at me, fart guy, I was so far away from them they couldn't possibly have heard. I was way down the other end of the hall, so they couldn't have

Speaker 1 smelt anything. So you're maintaining nothing emitted.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I don't know why they would

Speaker 1 reach for such an outlandish claim that I had farted in front of them. Yeah, I feel like it might have been something lost in translation.
They were trying to call you something else, and it came out.

Speaker 1 I thought, like I said, maybe it's the fall guy. Maybe they think I look like Lee Majors, but could be.

Speaker 1 I doubt from the way they are fucking falling all over themselves, laughing, that it was a fall guy.

Speaker 1 Do you ever see him again on the boat? No, I did not. They're lucky, too, because I would have fucking.

Speaker 1 Captain? Captain?

Speaker 1 Not only was I I cheated at the game last night,

Speaker 1 but today

Speaker 1 I said, so yeah, so I didn't walk off that fucking boat feeling more masculine than I walked on. Yeah, I thought you were coming back with a pencil mustache with

Speaker 1 the music.

Speaker 1 But then in the shower, it fucking washed off. So then I was like, oh, I got to fucking draw this on every day.
Oh, I thought you were really growing one.

Speaker 1 Like, it's easier just to fucking draw one in. Pencil it in.
I see. Yeah, like eyebrows, right? Right,

Speaker 1 is it though?

Speaker 1 Will it look real? I mean, for you guys, it might be hard, but for me, you know, I draw a little bit, so no, but I'm drawing two lines on my face is

Speaker 1 to shave less though for

Speaker 1 you.

Speaker 1 I did a YouTube video how to maintain a pencil-thin mustache, and I'm like, Jesus Christ,

Speaker 1 it's no joke, it's like a fucking lifetime commitment. Well, get him to figure it out.
What the fuck is that? Then you can come in here

Speaker 1 and touch up every day.

Speaker 1 Oh, I saw that,

Speaker 1 you know, Bud Light,

Speaker 1 they had a couple of missteps with Dylan Mulvaney

Speaker 1 back in the day.

Speaker 1 It worked out for him. Bud Light? Didn't it? Didn't that cool really well? Oh, that's right.
That's right. They wanted to lose $20 billion.

Speaker 1 But their brand suffered. There's no doubt about it.

Speaker 1 But it's back.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have you seen the commercial? You're talking about the Roses? I'm talking about Joe DeRosa, the man they're depending on to bring back Blood Light. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, it's Shane. It's Shane Gillis.
Yeah, Shane Gillis. But yeah, Joe's in the commercial.
Yeah, Jane's like a beer. Joe's like a beer social.
Oh, have you seen it? I haven't seen the commercial.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. But I saw this guy with another guy who's all tatted up.

Speaker 1 And the joke is that no one's allowed to drink beer in a real beer commercial. And so they do a countdown to when they could drink a beer, and then it goes black.
Nice. I don't know who the guy is.

Speaker 1 I think it's a musician, the way he's all tatted up. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's with the comedian guy you're talking about, though. He's with DeRosa? Or Shoe Shane Gillis?

Speaker 1 Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 They're like sitting in a driveway on beach chairs, and

Speaker 1 the joke is, did you know that you can't drink a beer

Speaker 1 during a beer commercial?

Speaker 1 And then you're like, and they start to do a countdown, and then you got break before they take a drink. It goes to black.

Speaker 1 All right, all right.

Speaker 1 Shane Gillis, what a turnaround, huh? Going from like.

Speaker 1 Like, because you're like, oh, my God, I got on Saturday Night Live. Oh, my God, they kicked me off Saturday Night Live immediately.
Oh, my God, everybody Everybody hates me. Yeah, everybody hates me.

Speaker 1 I'm a racist. Post-Malon.

Speaker 1 Is he a singer? Yeah. Yeah, he was on Q Show.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's great. He's got a lot of tats.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Nice guy, too, I hear. Is that true? One of the nicest guys I've met.
Yeah. Yeah.
In the industry. Super nice guy.
You think I should go tat it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think so. My eyelids.
No, why don't you just do like a sleeve?

Speaker 1 Start.

Speaker 1 That's my plan. Then

Speaker 1 I got to get the shirt off.

Speaker 1 No, no, just roll the sleeve off. Yeah, just roll the sleeve.
Or go like Maxwell style. Cut all sleeves off your shirts.

Speaker 1 Sleeve is a big commitment. If I just do something small behind the ear,

Speaker 1 like a hard time. But then nobody can see it.

Speaker 1 A peace sign.

Speaker 1 A pentagram.

Speaker 1 Now, all right, now you're talking. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I wasn't going to put a heart.

Speaker 1 Put a pentagram behind your ear does what? You can't even see it like you do. I'm talking about it.
I just, as soon as I turn my head a certain way, they're like, holy fuck.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, you're Satanist.

Speaker 1 Huh? You don't want to see your own tattoo? I don't need to see it. I know it's there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I know.
So you're getting it for other people, not for yourself. I get a little 666 maybe behind the other ear.
I think you should do that. Where Damien had his 666? Was that on a skull?

Speaker 1 That was on a skull. Yeah, somewhere.
Okay, I'll get that too. I think it's a great idea.

Speaker 1 I think you should do it.

Speaker 1 I think you should absolutely do this. Is

Speaker 1 satanic imagery imagery still? To me, it has never lost its

Speaker 1 macho-ness.

Speaker 1 I think everything's cyclical.

Speaker 1 I think that,

Speaker 1 yeah, very soon we'll be back in the place where people are like, that guy's dangerous. He's got satanic imagery.
I think we're almost there. Upside down cross.
Yeah. Success.

Speaker 1 The older you get, they're like, that guy used to be dangerous.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's see what we got here.

Speaker 1 You have to have the big KISS news.

Speaker 1 Big Kiss news? Yeah, you don't have the Kiss News on it? I don't have any KISS news. Although I feel like I did hear KISS news.

Speaker 1 Trump-nominated KISS. Oh, yes.

Speaker 1 Kennedy Honors. I did hear that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's while you were away, right? Yeah, and Stallone is also being honored, is making the great. I don't know what the Kennedy honors are.
Is that like a Hall of Fame of some sort?

Speaker 1 I think so, yeah. Isn't it just like a cultural? I don't really know about it.
Cultural awards.

Speaker 1 Isn't it just like you're important to like how they put you in, you know, they put movies in that the registry for preservation? Like they're saying, like, this is important to America.

Speaker 1 This is an important work. Yeah, yeah, maybe it's like, I think Kiss is Library of Congress.
Yeah, yeah, maybe it's something like that. Stallone.

Speaker 1 Hey, man. The weird one is fucking Gloria Gaynor.
Now, I think I may be wrong, but I think she only had one hit. I will survive.

Speaker 1 It's the only one I recall. I don't know how

Speaker 1 you can't nominate. If you got a nominated chick, and I'm sure that's what it was, you know, there was no other girls besides Gloria Gaynor, you got to have a girl up there, I would think.

Speaker 1 I would think you could find somebody who has a more

Speaker 1 impressive

Speaker 1 library than just I Will Survive, though. Stallone.

Speaker 1 That is an iconic song, though. Like, that's

Speaker 1 an anthem. That's an anthem.
Yeah. That's an anthem.
It's kind of crazy that Stallone doesn't have it already if it isn't indeed the honor that we've just sort of decided that is.

Speaker 1 Now, listeners cannot stand when we talk Trump. They hate it.
We're not talking Trump. We're talking.
Well, I do have to give,

Speaker 1 you know, I don't like to do this, but

Speaker 1 I heard following this announcement that Trump demanded that only the original lineup for Kiss show up that night.

Speaker 1 Like, no of the replacement members are going to be there. It's just Peter,

Speaker 1 Ace, Gene, and Paul. Wow.
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 1 I feel like Biden couldn't pull that off. Like, Biden couldn't bring KISP back together, the original lineup back together.
I mean, I don't think Biden could wipe his ass in the end.

Speaker 1 No, they're getting KISS.

Speaker 1 But even at the beginning of his term, I don't know if he had the mojo

Speaker 1 to bring KISS, the original lineup, back together.

Speaker 1 They hate each other. So

Speaker 1 is this happening? Like, you know, this is happening? Yeah, the original lineup is going to be there. And Trump said that if, you know, either the original lineup or no nomination, I heard.
And KISS.

Speaker 1 And they're showing up? KISS was like, all right, we'll bring the original lineup.

Speaker 1 That's

Speaker 1 big.

Speaker 1 That's like bringing peace to the Middle East, I would think.

Speaker 1 I guess. On a certain level, like a smaller level, but still.
I mean, with Gene's ego, I'm surprised that he would let anybody tell him, like, what's what.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 So it takes a bigger ego.

Speaker 1 Do you think, though,

Speaker 1 it's

Speaker 1 the sign of being accepted by, quote-unquote, the man, and it's not rock and roll to get this kind of award, though?

Speaker 1 It kind of undercuts everything about rebellion and rock to be not, to be recognized by the man.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 they're old, so, you know, I think you could give it to them. but also, like, you nailed it.

Speaker 1 Like, people hate Trump, so what's fucking thumbing your nose more than taking this award off the president that

Speaker 1 people are all the ultimate rebellion? Yeah, they're like, oh, your panties are all in a fucking wad about about this guy. We'll go accept the award from them.
And that, like,

Speaker 2 yeah,

Speaker 1 in your face.

Speaker 1 But I feel like once you get these kind of it's like getting knighted by the queen, like McCartney or Elton John.

Speaker 1 I feel like it kind of takes away your rock and roll cred when you get accepted by the snooty

Speaker 1 royalty

Speaker 1 and fucking the president of the United States. Because in 1976, when Kiss was on top of the world,

Speaker 1 I don't think Jimmy Carter, was Jimmy Carter a seven president or was a four? In the 70s, Forden. Well, in 76, when they were on top of the world.
76, that would have been a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 That would have been Carter. When they were like the most dangerous thing on the planet.
Yeah, I believe that would have been Carter. Spitting blood and breathing fire.

Speaker 1 They wouldn't get nominated for this. No.
No, not a chance. But now.

Speaker 1 Well, because everybody, like even your mom, loves, oh, yeah, kiss. I know, kiss.
Yeah. Yeah, it's the longevity of it that they have now and the fact that they're not dangerous anymore.

Speaker 1 Right, but I think that's what makes

Speaker 1 if you want to get that dangerous

Speaker 1 aura back.

Speaker 1 You think they want to get that dangerous aura back?

Speaker 1 I would. Or you think he wants to sell more fucking bullshit with a trace on it?

Speaker 1 I don't know. But yeah, I was shocked that

Speaker 1 they would get tabbed for this honor, though. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You don't feel that way about Salone. Salone is like...

Speaker 1 I think Stallone has a lot to consider, too, about accepting it. Why? Like, what do you mean? Because once you go up there and you out of here, and Trump is going to be emceeing it, I heard.

Speaker 1 Is he? Yeah. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's what I heard. I read.
I didn't hear. I read that he's going to be hosting it.
Really?

Speaker 1 I feel that you're going to have to go up there and gladhand him. And you're going to, just like with our audience, is

Speaker 1 half

Speaker 1 seemingly, it sounds like more than half despise him. So if we say anything, even remotely, even even if it's just in passing, if there's not even, it's not

Speaker 1 flattery or taking him down, it's just even the mention, like, really people have to fucking

Speaker 1 relax a little bit furious. Yeah, furious.
It's not good for you, man. It's not like he's the president.
That's just the way it is. It's not good for you to get furious at us.
Just mention him.

Speaker 1 Because we mentioned him in passing. Yeah, like, even I'm not that angry.
Calm down.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 Conversely, you guys could just ignore them and not worry about it at all.

Speaker 1 But that's our listenership. I want the listenership to

Speaker 1 enjoy every second of TSD. Like every fucking millisecond, every half second is

Speaker 1 pleasurable.

Speaker 1 It's a roundabout way of saying don't get him a mic anymore.

Speaker 1 Like Stallone has to worry about, though, having to be given a blowjob by the president, right, on stage, like because he's going to fucking, he's going to say how great Stallone is.

Speaker 1 and then you know, Stallone's got to be like, he's got to go up and shake his hand, he's got to make some comments about how what an honor it is, and thank you, President Trump. And this kind of

Speaker 1 upsets a portion of his fan base because

Speaker 1 they want

Speaker 1 probably they would prefer his fan base that hates Trump would prefer he decline and be like, you know what, if Trump is offering to me,

Speaker 1 he could stick it where the sun don't shine. Right.

Speaker 1 yeah but you think you think stallone has more of those people in his audience do you think stallone gives a he's like i'm rocky he's like i don't give a fuck

Speaker 1 yeah yeah like what the do you think i care what you think you think they don't there's not um

Speaker 1 thought put into

Speaker 1 i don't think rocky gives a whatsoever rocky balboa but we're talking about stallone though i don't think stallone cares

Speaker 1 what could anybody do to him what's going on and see and support his next project

Speaker 1 He's on a hit show. Fucking, he's on Tulsa King.

Speaker 1 Well, they can be like the producers and be like, you know what, Rock?

Speaker 1 We went and accepted that award. You know, we're writing you out or you're being recast.
You can't live your life going around being like, people might be mad at me for this. You just can't, man.

Speaker 1 Because, yes, people are going to be mad about it. Some people will be mad.
Some people will never watch Tulsa King again. As long as he can make, it's all fucking, it's all scanning.

Speaker 1 As long as he can make anybody a dime, Hollywood will be like, let's do it, Rock.

Speaker 1 That's just the way it is. They could say anything they want to say.
That's not true, though.

Speaker 1 There's some people that have said some things that were making money for Hollywood and they became persona nongrada. Who?

Speaker 1 What's her name? Gina Carano from the Star Wars.

Speaker 1 You mean the woman who just fucking solved the lawsuit with Disney and got paid off, and they said we're going to look for opportunities to work with her?

Speaker 1 I mean, that shit happened to her in the fucking hottest

Speaker 1 fever of the fucking that gripped this nation. I don't know.
I do think, though, that artists have to be more calculating, have to take in consideration the world we live in,

Speaker 1 about what awards they accept and who they want glossing their polishing their knobs.

Speaker 1 Because if you get polished, if your knob is only being polished by one side, then you're losing half the country.

Speaker 1 Then you might be underestimating the ego and narcissism that's rampant in that fucking industry. That's like an award, yes.

Speaker 1 Polished knob? Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know, though. It was impressive, though, that they demanded the original lineup and KISS caved.
Kiss caved. Kiss caved.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Is there anybody else we could get them to do that? An amount of money, maybe?

Speaker 1 I don't even think there's money involved in this.

Speaker 1 I mean, maybe they'll, maybe they're back in the limelight for a night or two, and you'll see an uptick on purchases of their music online for a day or two, but by the following week, you know, it'll be right back to normal

Speaker 1 interest levels of Kiss,

Speaker 1 which are at this point

Speaker 1 not

Speaker 1 too high. You know,

Speaker 1 nobody really refers to them as a current band anymore, I don't believe.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like if you asked the average person, is Kiss still together? They wouldn't know.

Speaker 1 Even I wouldn't know. Because they're not torn anymore, right? You should know because you're fucking on a Kiss Pod.
I was on a Kiss Pod, yeah, but I can't remember if they're still together or not.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they did the last show, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, supposedly the last show, yeah. But they're supposed to do something special for this Kennedy Honors thing.
They might. They'll get together for one night.

Speaker 1 I think they might perform a song.

Speaker 1 I think Trump, you know, and again, don't hate me, but

Speaker 1 if anybody can maybe get. Don't hate me for mentioning the president

Speaker 1 of the United States. Yeah.
It's somehow our fault. But if any, but

Speaker 1 the guy,

Speaker 1 if there's one guy that can make Kiss perform a song with the OG lineup,

Speaker 1 so far, I mean, it looks like he's gotten them together now to agree to come. Yeah.
Is it that crazy to think they're not going to perform a song together?

Speaker 1 He's going to get that Nobel Peace Prize, man.

Speaker 1 He's going to get it.

Speaker 1 Just for the kiss thing. Or an honorary Grammy.
Or give it to himself.

Speaker 1 Hillary Clinton said that

Speaker 1 if he was able to bring Russia and Ukraine together, if he was able to end that war, that she would nominate him for the award. Wow.

Speaker 1 Do you know who Biden nominated when he was in office to the Kennedy honors? You know what band? Yeah, who? The Grateful Dead.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ. What a lame-o.
It's another very popular multi-fucking decade-spanning band.

Speaker 1 Q, correct me if I'm wrong. Did Jerry Garcia ever spit fire? I don't think he did.
Did he ever spit blood? Did a lot of drugs. He might have spit blood at one point.

Speaker 1 Did he ever prance around in snake boots?

Speaker 1 I mean, possible. No, I think you'll go on.
I mean, you'll find he did not. I think he wore a fucking tie-dye t-shirt with a fucking beard belly

Speaker 1 with an unkempt beard that made Giddam fucking snicker. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He got laid a lot, though, man.

Speaker 1 Gene, more than Gene. Probably more than Gene.
No fucking way. Hasn't Gene been married for like...
But Gene has had 70K.

Speaker 1 What does that mean? 70K fucking bed count.

Speaker 1 Who said that, Gene? Yes. Yeah.
On Oprah.

Speaker 1 There's nothing on Oprah that's been untrue.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, there you go, I guess.

Speaker 1 You know, I don't know. I'm not saying Jerry didn't, but come on, though.
They're like hobhead hippie chicks like fucking following around the nation for decades. EU.

Speaker 1 Yeah, still, though. Even if it's stuck.

Speaker 1 With fucking

Speaker 1 armpit hair. Kiss fans are fucking known for their.
Oh, yeah. The fucking big, all that fucking hairspray and the spandex white pants.

Speaker 1 Are you selling me when you're selling me? I would think, yeah, I mean, if I had to have the gas jiggly,

Speaker 1 you know, no deadheads can fit in fucking spandex pants. That's true.

Speaker 1 Get them. That's almost like they're real like hot hippie jerks.
There's real thin hippies. They're wearing fucking tie-dyed sundresses to fucking not disappear.
You need a cherry to get right off.

Speaker 1 To make sure you can't see any outline of a fucking figure.

Speaker 1 I don't know about that, man.

Speaker 1 At least that's what I saw when I went to the Great Public Concert.

Speaker 1 Deadhead women. Oh, my God.
You're not wrong. Well,

Speaker 1 Gen was pulling up pictures on Facebook of deadhead women.

Speaker 1 You know what? I mean, if you were to pick up chicks,

Speaker 1 kiss fans from

Speaker 1 pull up 70s Kiss fans. Well, then pull up 70s fucking

Speaker 1 nut fans in their 70s.

Speaker 1 Oh, they even got the makeup on. Gene fucking betted Cher, Diana Ross.

Speaker 1 Who told you that? I saw the pictures. What pictures? Gene?

Speaker 1 On dates.

Speaker 1 All right. Let me see.

Speaker 1 I ripped out the pictures out of 16 magazine and put them on my wall. All right, let me see.
Gene on a date with Diana Ross. Let me see.
I want to see this picture. I believe you.

Speaker 1 I want to see. He's doing it right now.

Speaker 1 It's not that I don't believe you. I just want to see it for myself.
Oh, and I have a stand. Yep.
He's covering his face. Diana.
Why is he covering his face?

Speaker 1 Because he's fucking smiling because he just got a fucking.

Speaker 1 He just got a crack at fucking Diana. All right.

Speaker 1 She is fucking beautiful. She's beautiful.
Maybe not in that photo, but generally she's beautiful.

Speaker 1 Then Cher and then Shannon Tweed. Cher, man.
I mean, Shannon Tweed, absolutely 100%.

Speaker 1 You're not impressed with Cher.

Speaker 1 Of course I am. All right.

Speaker 1 I mean, Cher is one of the all-time greatest bodies that ever walked the stage, I would say, no? Greatest hair.

Speaker 1 Whoa. Really? You don't think?

Speaker 1 I've always felt, I've always, this is interesting because I've always like, I don't get

Speaker 1 Cher because her body is literally like, I have more curves than fucking me. Q likes tall and reedy.
Let me see this. She is so skinny.
She has no curves whatsoever.

Speaker 1 Cher.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that doesn't mean

Speaker 1 flavors of it.

Speaker 1 Turn back time.

Speaker 1 Well, turn back time, first of all, she looks fucking awesome. But two, she's also, I wonder how old in that.
But she never really had any kind of

Speaker 1 curvaceous,

Speaker 1 dangerous curves. She was kind of a plank.
Do you remember? I know you do. That doesn't look like a plank.
She's pretty. Yeah, she's very pretty.

Speaker 1 Dude, show her on the Sonny and Cher show when she was wearing a bunch of people. Beautiful.
Yeah. She's beautiful.
But

Speaker 1 the body, though,

Speaker 1 because she got butter body.

Speaker 1 She does not have butter body.

Speaker 1 Her stomach was like famous for being one of the fucking. It's completely flat, but so is the backside, too, though.

Speaker 1 I disagree. She looks good in that picture.
She looks fucking fantastic.

Speaker 1 She does, but

Speaker 1 what? But what? You just don't like that flavor. It doesn't mean that it's not hot.

Speaker 1 She's got a nice little butt there. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 There's a picture with Don Knox.

Speaker 1 Don Knox.

Speaker 1 You could transpose each head over on either body, and I wouldn't be able to tell you

Speaker 1 which was the right body. I couldn't disagree more, man.
She's beautiful. She is.
And her body's fantastic. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 But look, I get Shannon Tweed. But look, Shannon Tweed is, you know, a fucking whole different category.
Like,

Speaker 1 what? Look at that one right there, man. What, the butt? The one on the left there with the tattoos.
That looks great. I think that's a fake butt right there.

Speaker 1 Come on, man. You can't just make every accusation.

Speaker 1 Whatever you think at the moment. Like,

Speaker 1 it's a great living ass. Yeah, you're right.
You're right.

Speaker 1 This would have been in the late 80s, early 90s. We went over to a PNC center with the rec kids one time.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And it was like a variety show almost. Oh, that's right.
And there was a Cher impersonator there, dressed. It was dressed like that, right? Dude.
Yeah, it was a dude. It was a drag queen.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Dressed as Cher, and everybody, before they realized, oh, look how hot she is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we had not been exposed to the world of fucking drag queens in the late 80s. So everybody has like got their tongue, you know, picking it up off the floor.

Speaker 1 And then all of a sudden he pulls the wig off, and we're like, oh, my God.

Speaker 1 It's like a circular firing squad.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I. No, Shannon Tweed in her prime

Speaker 1 was.

Speaker 1 Can you pull any of your strings maybe to

Speaker 1 get us to go to the Kennedy Honors and maybe see Kiss together? Because you didn't take me the last time you went to see Kiss. You took Sunday.
Was there a chance I could maybe be a plus one?

Speaker 1 I'll see what I could do. I'll see what I'll make some calls.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I like how you say us, and then it's a plus one.

Speaker 1 Oh, man, Shannon Tweed, dude.

Speaker 1 No, she's a very pretty lady. Yeah, she sure was.

Speaker 1 She's still alive. No, I don't know what she looks like now.

Speaker 1 Very similar. Oh, I think great.

Speaker 1 All right, let me get on these ads, boys.

Speaker 1 Dew.

Speaker 1 Wait a second. Mountain Dew? Please show off the products on video.
Well, that's not going to happen. Sorry.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. It's just like the way this is written.
It's differently. Talk about how annoying it is that all your devices have different charging cords.

Speaker 1 Your phone, your headphones, your watch, your Kindle, all different.

Speaker 1 Honestly, it should be illegal. How is it that? We're trying to pass that law.
Are you? You're working on it? Karen's Law.

Speaker 1 I don't like this either.

Speaker 1 How is it that we have AI robots, but we still have to travel with five cords tangled up in our bag just to keep our devices alive?

Speaker 1 Well, those days are over thanks to Ridge, just like Ridge revolutionized the wallet. Ridge has now changed the game for portable charging.

Speaker 1 Ridge's five-in-one travel power bank has built-in cables and lets you charge all your devices at the same time with just one power bank and no extra cables.

Speaker 1 MagSafe wireless charging, Apple Watch charger, Lightning, USB-C, every way you need to charge all in one premium device. And they don't have any cords?

Speaker 1 I think it's one Yeah, it has cords, but I think it's like one device with a whole bunch of little cords sticking off of it.

Speaker 1 I don't see a picture here, so I'm not exactly sure.

Speaker 1 But can you pick it up? Can I ask a question? Yeah, go ahead. Didn't I see this in a rest stop for like six bucks? You might have, but it's not going to be this quality.

Speaker 1 And you don't even know this might be six bucks. I might have been sure.

Speaker 1 Oh, look at that. That is heavy duty.
That's not six bucks. No, that's not six bucks.
Okay, all right. It's well made, though.
Look at that. You're right.
It's just screen on it.

Speaker 1 The one at the rest stops, you know, they fucking break and they corrupt your devices. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 They come with viruses. They come with viruses.

Speaker 1 These don't. Rich don't.
Not the rich power bank. Virus-free.
Wow.

Speaker 1 They're not going to send us one of these. I don't know.
I'll get them too. I'll get them too.
I'll get some for us.

Speaker 1 I like the black, please. Black you want? Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 If they have a pink, I'll take the pink. Black, pink.
All right. I'll take green.

Speaker 1 I'll talk to Mary Beth and

Speaker 1 there you go. You have enough masculine mojo to pull off pink.
I can't yet. I got to go black.
Yeah. No.
I put a pentagram on it, too. Yeah, now you're talking all right.
A pink pentagram?

Speaker 1 With 20 watts of power, it charges your phone as fast as it possibly can. And with 10,000 MAH capacity, I don't know what that is.
It sounds like it's more than volts, bitch. Yeah, I know, right?

Speaker 1 Milliamp hours. You've got, what is it? Milliamp hours.
Milliamp hours, says Gidem. You've got up to three full phone chargers in your pocket.

Speaker 1 It has MagSafe compatible wireless charging, so you can keep it magnetically attached to the back of your iPhone.

Speaker 1 It doesn't look like an iPod? It does look like an iPod. It does, yeah, with the circular fan, man.
I want one of these. It comes with a fan? That's the MagSafe.

Speaker 1 It says you can magnetically attach it to the back of your iPhone if you want some permanent extra juice. Oh, I got to get me one of these.

Speaker 1 Even if you can't get us one, a comp one, I'm buying one. All right.
I'll get the comp ones. I'll pay for it.
Really?

Speaker 1 Beyond six bucks.

Speaker 1 The newest iPhone just dropped, so make sure you pair it up with a power bank that actually keeps up with it.

Speaker 1 And like everything Ridge makes, it's built to last with free shipping, 99-day

Speaker 1 risk-free trial, and a lifetime warranty. This is the last power bank you'll ever need.

Speaker 1 They got Matt Olive, they got Base Camp Orange, they got Matt Black.

Speaker 1 Do they have pink? No, they don't.

Speaker 1 I was a wish list iPhone. Okay.

Speaker 1 They come with an LED charge status indicator. Integrated kickstand.

Speaker 1 And if you don't already have a Ridge wallet, you should. Slim, modern, RFID blocking, and built to last.
It's the last wallet you'll ever buy. I love mine.

Speaker 1 I have used it for years and years and years, and it's never left. Oh, this is a wallet, too? No, this is the same company that makes the wallet, the Ridge wallet.

Speaker 1 cafeteria food almost, right? I would say, yeah, it's a kind of

Speaker 1 one kind of texture. Yeah.
Everything just kind of

Speaker 1 looks the same, feels the same in your mouth, and

Speaker 1 it changes your...

Speaker 1 It changes the way you go to the bathroom for a couple of days, too.

Speaker 1 Which could be rough on a ship. Yeah, I know.
It could be bad.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What color do you want it?

Speaker 1 We're going to have to put in a special request. No pork, though.

Speaker 1 Got all kinds of

Speaker 1 sports news. Just because Giddam and pork don't mix well.
It's like a nitroglycerin thing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Who's the fart guy now?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 So we have

Speaker 1 some sports stuff, Q. Sports.
We got the new Vikings cheerleaders. I'll let you guys decide what we talk about.
Okay. The kid who was tackled by Padre Security.

Speaker 1 Padre Security tackled the kid. Yeah.
Or the new college, I think, football player who spells his name K-N-I-G-G-A.

Speaker 1 Have you seen this guy? I think it's Kanika. Let's hear that.

Speaker 1 You want to hear about Kanika? Yeah. Oh, I was going to say that I want to see the cheerleaders.
The male cheerleaders? Oh, I didn't know it was a male cheerleader. Gotcha.
Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 It's just like that fucking share concert all over again every winter.

Speaker 1 Who's doing this? The Vikings? The Vikings, yeah. Who asked for it? Nobody.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 1 there's a history, though, of male cheerleaders. There is, but they don't act as femme as these guys do.
Like, these guys are acting like females out on the cheerleading.

Speaker 1 How does someone act like a female cheerleader? Well, you should know.

Speaker 1 When they're all jumping around

Speaker 1 doing their stunts and stuff, who's to say this one is more feminine

Speaker 1 than the other one?

Speaker 1 Yeah, as soon as we see it,

Speaker 1 there's no way. When you're like jumping around and catching people, you can't have,

Speaker 1 you've got to be fucking ripped. And how are

Speaker 1 football fans handling this? Pretty good backflip. You can't do backflips on fucking water.
Oh, boy, that's

Speaker 1 rough to watch. This is why your masculinity is taking a hit because you you think this is the kind of shit that's masculine.

Speaker 1 Because it takes a lot of fucking body strength to do what this goes. Oh, dude, this dude is in fucking 100 times better shape than I've ever been in in my entire life, okay? That much I agree to.

Speaker 1 Yes. That doesn't mean he ain't prancing around on the field looking feminine, and Vikings fans don't like it, evidently.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I don't like it. Oh, you think these guys like it? I don't think it's good.

Speaker 1 Your average NFL guy. I'm telling you right now,

Speaker 1 the Vikings have a winning record and make the playoffs. Viking fans don't give a fuck about it.
How are the Vikings? Are they good? They were good last year. Were they? Yeah,

Speaker 1 they were a playoff team. They got bounced in the first round.
I mean, it's everywhere. Vikings face back.
But they're doing the same exact moves as the female cheerleaders.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Or they're just doing cheerleading moves,

Speaker 1 not male or female. Well, Dean.
No, I didn't say that the moves were male or female. I'm saying they're doing the same moves as the female cheerleaders.
Same exact moves.

Speaker 1 But that's what, if you've ever seen male cheerleaders,

Speaker 1 come on.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 This is what a cheerleading means.

Speaker 1 How would you do a masculine?

Speaker 1 How would you do a masculine move cheerleader? Male cheerleaders are normally the guys that pick up the smaller cheerleaders. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like toss them around and stuff. That guy's not fucking picking up anybody.
I'll tell you why. He's like fucking 90 pounds.
The more I watch this, the more on board I am

Speaker 1 because this is going to fucking drive people insane. It really is.
Yeah. Oh, I'm all for it.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 do they sell t-shirts with this guy on it? Because I want one. They're really focusing on him.
There's two new guys, but they're just focusing on that guy for some reason.

Speaker 1 I think you will find if you did any

Speaker 1 investigation of male cheerleading in the sport, you'll find that there have been male cheerleaders since the 50s. Yeah, I know.
I'm not denying male cheerleaders. Okay, so not at all.

Speaker 1 Do this one upset you then? I'm not upset. Well, you brought it to the table.
You want to talk about it? Yeah, because they're facing backlash, and it's two guys on an all-women's team.

Speaker 1 Why should there be there should have to be a certain

Speaker 1 amount of people? I'm not saying there shouldn't be. Look at the fucking guy.
Come on, he's in a dress with pom-poms. You're telling me that's a fucking male cheerleader.
Go back and get that.

Speaker 1 Is that Go-Go shorts or squirts?

Speaker 1 I think they're squirts, which is okay. Look at that.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm loving that.

Speaker 1 I don't give a fuck. I don't care about football or marriage.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying that is. That's fake outrage, though.
What? I'm fake outrage? No. Oh, this is fake outrage.
Yeah, the social media.

Speaker 1 Because I don't know about that. I guarantee you, Minnesota Viking fans do not care about this.
If they go and win the Super Bowl this year, they will never allow them to not have male cheerleaders.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because they're a bunch of superstitious fools. Wow.
Or open-minded.

Speaker 1 How is being like, we need the gay guys. Otherwise, we'll lose.
How is that not being superstitious?

Speaker 1 You don't know. This is something

Speaker 1 I'm going to get to the conclusion. If that guy is is straight, I will lose enough weight to suck my own dick.
If you can prove that guy is fucking straight,

Speaker 1 he's got makeup on. He's wearing

Speaker 1 accused of having eyeliner. That's right.
That's true.

Speaker 1 You should be accused of this. You should be a cheerleader.
This guy.

Speaker 1 Well, I guess the difference is that I'm not sure. I'm not right to put eyeliner on.

Speaker 1 That would be the difference. That's just the accusation.

Speaker 1 I wish the Lions had a male cheerleader. I'm really torn on this one.

Speaker 1 Do the Lions have a male cheerleader? I don't want to see guys moving like this. You just don't.
I just don't want to see guys moving like this.

Speaker 1 Oh, boy. Please tell me the Lions have one.
Or more than one.

Speaker 1 And yet, the Devils had to get rid of the Devils dancers. They didn't have to get rid of them.
They're just so cheap.

Speaker 1 Do they just add nothing, though? And they don't want to be bothered

Speaker 1 hiring anybody to train them or to do the choreography. The Devils are just so cheap.
I see. I see.
I mean, these look like cheerleaders.

Speaker 1 But that's the Detroit Lions, and I don't see any dudes anywhere, which has got to change. Why?

Speaker 1 I agree. I'm with you one.
I'm on board.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 I want to see what's wrong with this country. No, I want to see.

Speaker 1 I want to see the world burn.

Speaker 1 I'm ready. I'm ready for it all.
Bring them.

Speaker 1 Oh, I want to see the world burn at this point.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is fantastic. So these poor cheerleaders for the Lions, though, they have to risk injury because when they jump around and get caught, they are only caught by girls.

Speaker 1 What are you saying? Women can't catch you. Yeah, that girl's fucking girlfriend.

Speaker 1 They can, but

Speaker 1 if I'm 60 feet in the air doing my tumbles,

Speaker 1 and I know I'm 60-story building.

Speaker 1 You're falling off a fucking...

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I got to rely on somebody to catch me

Speaker 1 or I'll pick you up. You don't think a woman can handle it? Well, I'm prepared to get it.
At the risk of sounding

Speaker 1 a barbarian, I'd rather have a guy

Speaker 1 at the ready to catch me when I land so I don't turn into a paraplegic. Sure.
Okay.

Speaker 1 And that could be, I hope I don't get face backlash for that. That guy.
Is it that guy you want catching you? I think he's capable of catching you. You think so? Yeah.
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 I think he'd catch me and then spin me around.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I bet.

Speaker 1 Lay you down in the sands. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 Kiss you as the wave stretch over here for you.

Speaker 1 Oh, I love it.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Who, when you go see

Speaker 1 a show, though, a Broadway show, and you see these dancers, these male dancers, are you like, this is upsetting? Or,

Speaker 1 like, so, yeah, why is it why

Speaker 1 in a football setting?

Speaker 1 Why does that change? I keep mistaking. I'm upset.
I'm not

Speaker 1 upset enough to want to bring it to the table, though. No, not up.
I wasn't upset at all. I saw the upset about it.
Okay. And I was like, all right, well, here's.

Speaker 1 Okay, but why do those people then not

Speaker 1 feel the same way

Speaker 1 in a non-football setting? Because you're on

Speaker 1 the dancing boys' turf when you go to Broadway.

Speaker 1 You go to football, like, that's not traditionally where dancing boys are.

Speaker 1 I just think that

Speaker 1 you're allowed to be like, hey, man, this previously has not been dancing boys. This wasn't the way it always was.
Now it's this way. And some people might not like it.
It's just the way it is.

Speaker 1 Like, you don't, maybe some guys don't want to see other guys dancing around like that. Even Q here

Speaker 1 was sitting here saying he's getting uncomfortable watching it. I didn't say I'm uncomfortable.
I just don't want to say it. Oh, did I say uncomfortable? I meant horny.

Speaker 1 But the more, yeah, now you're talking. But I mean, the more I watch it and the more I know it's going to upset people, I love it.

Speaker 1 I love it. I'm all for it.
The poor guy is probably taking it on the chin, huh? Yeah. Yeah, he's probably getting it pretty hard right now.
Makes you wonder if he'll be able to withstand the

Speaker 1 onslaught of if he doesn't go on social media and he doesn't read all the negative shit about him. He should be look how young he is, though.
You don't think I think he's probably on social media.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, searching out stuff, you know, searching out stuff about him.

Speaker 1 He's got cowboy boots on in that picture.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he looks manly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but booty shorts and cowboy boots again.

Speaker 1 If those are booty shorts.

Speaker 1 Those are not booty shorts. Okay.

Speaker 1 They're just shorts. Okay.
I'll say this much. I wish I had this fucking physique.

Speaker 1 You got to start dancing around. You got to be a dance around.
That's what it's about.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, you don't want to. It's not the look.
This guy's like living out his dream, you know? I heard the cheerleaders make almost nothing, though.

Speaker 1 They have.

Speaker 1 strict, strict regulations that they have to follow to maintain their team status. Yeah, like anytime you see a cheerleader do something a little untoward, they're off the team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no tattoos either. Oh, really? I didn't noticed.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I didn't notice that.

Speaker 1 Wow, look at this guy. There you go.
Get him. There's a horse in the picture.
He's hanging out.

Speaker 1 I mean, the guy's. I mean, this is gay bait.
I mean, come on. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But again, I'm like, God, this fucking guy's in shape. I know, man.
He really is. Fuck, look at that physique, Brian.
I know.

Speaker 1 How do you do it? Let's go to a couple of Vikings games is what I'm saying. Oh, it looked like he had a 97 tattooed on him, so he's probably.
He does have a tat, huh? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I guess that, like, look, what you're talking about is probably covered during the. I bet you the girls are allowed to have tattoos as long as they can't be seen under

Speaker 1 whatever the outfits they have to wear. But if you notice, they don't have anything on their arms or their legs.
But he's got one on his wrist. He's got one on his wrist either.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Hey, man.
Look, I don't want to get in the way of this guy's dream.

Speaker 1 You know, Sinatra said. Who would?

Speaker 1 Why would you get your kick stomping on the line? I think get off to like 11-0 start.

Speaker 1 You will see

Speaker 1 every

Speaker 1 loud-mouthed

Speaker 1 all of a sudden be like

Speaker 1 so happy and so

Speaker 1 accepting of the male children. You're right.
I bet you're right.

Speaker 1 They will fall in love and they will.

Speaker 1 Okay, now what if it's flip-flop and they go, oh, sorry, sorry,

Speaker 1 yeah, that guy better go into hiding.

Speaker 1 It's his fault, right? It's his fault.

Speaker 1 That guy better get into the witness protection

Speaker 1 service of

Speaker 1 the government because, yeah, he's going to take the blame for all the woes of the Vikings. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Well, I wish him the best of luck.

Speaker 1 Good for him. Good for him.
Get on him. Get on him, man.
If Viking fans don't like it, well, they could just fuck off

Speaker 1 and not watch it anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's pretty good, I got to say, he's got the moves. I mean, there's fucking talented play here.

Speaker 1 That looks exactly what I saw in Saturday Night Fever, though, these kind of moves, though. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Those kind of dancing boys.
That's what I'm saying. Dancing boys, they belong on Broadway.

Speaker 1 You can't go to Broadway and get upset. Nah.
Right, but that's maybe what has to change, though, in football and in sports. That's interesting.
Why? Why does it have to change?

Speaker 1 Because as a society, we have to grow and continue to grow and continue to push

Speaker 1 down old archaic

Speaker 1 mindsets. Oh, that's interesting.
Let me follow you on that one. I wish I didn't have two more fucking ads because I'd say tell them Steve Duke so fucking fast.

Speaker 1 I'm curious, like, who gets to decide which archaic mindsets are the ones that go? So money talks then. So

Speaker 1 you want to get out of the conversation, this uncomfortable position I've put you in. You're between a rock and a hard hole.
You want to get out of your bullshit.

Speaker 1 And you,

Speaker 1 you, you want to escape and run to your car and drive away as fast as you can.

Speaker 1 Turn up my radio. I don't have to fucking think about it.
Put on some kiss. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 these ads, you know, you can't, that is

Speaker 1 not very principled, Brian Johnson. When the fuck do you know me to be principled?

Speaker 1 That's on you.

Speaker 1 Oh, you know what? I was thinking

Speaker 1 this is a Blue Chew ad. And the fifth year anniversary? Yeah.
Would.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Guys, enter the room dick first.

Speaker 1 Blue Chew. They're sticking with that.
I don't advise it, but you know, that's what these guys say. Blue Chew just isn't a tablet.
It's a cheat code for your crotch. Stronger, harder, longer lasting.

Speaker 1 Like someone gave you your downstairs a pep pep talk in a gym membership. Blue Chew is the original brand offering chewable tablets for better sex.

Speaker 1 All right, I'm going to read you a couple of what they have to say.

Speaker 1 Jack could climb his own stalk on one of these beans. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh, you shouldn't fucking bring children's fairy tales into a fucking sex.

Speaker 1 It's all about death. But you know what I'm saying? You know, but like, you know, like, it's not you.
This is the ad copy. They sent you that, right? You didn't make that up, right?

Speaker 1 I didn't make that up. Okay.

Speaker 1 Let's make sure we distribute it. Should I complain on your behalf?

Speaker 1 Distance us off. You should not be putting children's fairy tales into a fucking sexualized

Speaker 1 lens.

Speaker 1 That's weird. I mean, are you trying to lose this Bluetooth? They're like the one sponsor we've had enough.
Them and the undies are like, yeah, like,

Speaker 1 why are you trying to? All we have to do is just not say fucking fairy tales that are fucking

Speaker 1 reference. I'm going to bring back canceling Gretel.
I'm going to bring back all kinds of shit next week.

Speaker 1 Blue Chew.

Speaker 1 I popped a Bluetooth, and now the TSA calls me sir before every pat down

Speaker 1 because it can sound

Speaker 1 about that one though. Before you get on a plane, you pop a boner pill.
I guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 And you obviously you get aroused when someone's patting you down. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, hello, sir.
I don't think that's what they'd be saying. Yeah, I don't think they would be impressed by that.
I think they'd be aghast. And they have, like, you know,

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 they don't let like a woman pat you down. No.

Speaker 1 Add some mess to the main mast.

Speaker 1 That's good. Okay.
My meat telescope saw God and winked. I like that too.

Speaker 1 I took Blue Chew and now my reflection won't make eye contact.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm not getting that one.

Speaker 1 It's not sex anymore. It's a superhero origin story.
The Girthinator Rises, coming near you.

Speaker 1 I like that. I like that one too.
Last time I took one, I sneezed and knocked over a bookshelf.

Speaker 1 That sounds rather random.

Speaker 1 And the last one, my junk dropped a mixtape. It's just one bass note for 37 minutes and it slaps.
Yeah. Nice.

Speaker 1 Boom, boom, boom. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's what we're talking about right there, Picchu.

Speaker 1 Guys, this isn't just about performance. Get the fucking cheerleaders out to dance to it.

Speaker 1 This isn't just about performance. This is about legacy or third legacy.

Speaker 1 we could bet on the vikings if we want to uh prize picks

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 1 is minnesota like uh it's like

Speaker 1 minnesota vikings

Speaker 1 minnesota is a very liberal yeah state okay

Speaker 1 super liberal it's just funny that they're they're

Speaker 1 First of all, how are they allowed to still be called the Vikings? I thought we were doing away with that.

Speaker 1 I don't think Vikings have the

Speaker 1 stigma of, let's say, the Redskins. I don't think it has the same.
Yeah, but it's still. I agree.
The context is way different.

Speaker 1 Well, that's interesting. Because you would think that stealing from another culture to name one of your teams after them would be frowned upon.
I don't think a Viking is

Speaker 1 a derogatory term to the people of

Speaker 1 where were they from Norway? Yeah, but still I mean

Speaker 1 Scandinavia.

Speaker 1 It's still kind of a cultural appropriation

Speaker 1 image. It's a one of

Speaker 1 they had honor and valor, Vikings, a Vikings' funeral. They worshipped heroes.

Speaker 1 I see. Very manly culture.

Speaker 1 Very masculine culture. Okay, all right.
These chilies are making more sense to me now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Redskins, I don't know.
I don't know if any of the, when you hear that word, I don't think of anything other than something ugly.

Speaker 1 Why don't they get like

Speaker 1 Indians or ugly?

Speaker 1 No, the word is ugly.

Speaker 1 Like the Cleveland Indians.

Speaker 1 I don't know to me, just the word Indian is fine. I don't know why they had to get rid of the team name.
I understand the mascot because it was a character. It was like a

Speaker 1 very offensive cartoon of an Indian. Yeah, yeah.
I remember you were being offended by that. But

Speaker 1 the Indian name, I could have lived with if they had kept that. Yeah, yeah.
I don't know why they had to get rid of that, but. I like how they like the Guardians.
I think it's kind of a cool.

Speaker 1 The Guardians?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's fine. And we got the Washington Commanders now instead of the Redskins.

Speaker 1 You know what would be cool if I'm telling you, the Vikings hired more male cheerleaders, but then they hired pro wrestler guys.

Speaker 1 And they were just in the background just beating the shit out of each other like Vikings while the girls were flipping around.

Speaker 1 I do think they do have a guy who dresses as a Viking that struts around on the sideline with like in the pelts and everything yeah yeah yeah I do think they do have big giant horns and a shield a big long beard oh there he is is that him yeah they do have oh fuck yeah man yeah so looks like the guy from January 6th if you

Speaker 1 the shaman the what was that guy's name yeah the shaman guy but so if you're yeah if you don't want to look at the male cheerleader you can just focus your eyes on that Viking then and something for everybody yeah yeah or the girls I don't know which one you're gonna you know maybe the girls.

Speaker 1 I would like to ask them if they mind if I look at them first. I don't want to just

Speaker 1 look at them, my gaze upon them. That sounds like with permission, though.
I have to get permission. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 what's his name, Rangar? Ragnar? Ragnar the Viking asked for $20,000 a game as

Speaker 1 I mean, you're overshooting shots, bro.

Speaker 1 Well, they told him no. Can't they just get somebody else to dress like that? I would do it for $10,000.
Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 I got the beard. I can wear that hat.
I got the button. I sure fucking could.

Speaker 1 I got to grow my hair out, though. He's got long hair like a real Viking.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 I could get some extensions. Oh, yeah.
Like how those hats have the hair.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the mullet or the dreads. Right on.
This is all great. Everything's going great.

Speaker 1 Then you fucking take that motorcycle out in the field, you lose control, you fucking run over.

Speaker 1 One of the male cheerleaders. They're like, homophoen!

Speaker 1 Oh, man. I'm not going to read Prize Picks because it has absolutely no information on the copy.
You're not going to read it. I can't read it.

Speaker 1 i almost went to see texas chainsaw massacre the um anniversary oh it was the original they wrote the original. I thought that's what it was.

Speaker 1 I almost went and then I called beforehand and I was like, because I wanted to know if it was a DVD or a print.

Speaker 1 And it turns out that

Speaker 1 it was a documentary

Speaker 1 about

Speaker 1 Texas Chainsaw Massacre to get a sneak peek. And I'm like, I think a lot of people are going to be fooled by this.
Yeah, maybe. Because the way it read was that it was the movie.

Speaker 1 And then I said one little part in the fine print, like sneak peek at

Speaker 1 the documentary coming up. That'd be cool to go see that.
That or the one with Jessica Beale. I'd like to watch that.
I love the one with Jessica Beale. I think it's it's really good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a cool one.

Speaker 1 Alien Earth. You guys check that out.
I have. What do you think? I like it.
I like it, man. I've seen some complaints where

Speaker 1 they're ignoring the canon of Alien Verse, or they're totally ignoring Alien Verse Predator and ignoring some of the canon from Covenant. People are complaining about these things.
Yes,

Speaker 1 to which, like, I watched both episodes and I didn't notice any of that shit. Like, I guess I'm not as steeped in the alien lore as.

Speaker 1 I watched a third episode last night.

Speaker 1 Have you even heard of this? Yeah, I heard of it. Yeah, it's pretty good.
It's good. Timothy Oliphant as the fucking weird synth.
I love it. What's the premise, aliens? A spacecraft.

Speaker 1 We won't say anything spoilery. This is all in the commercial, but if you don't want to hear this, like

Speaker 1 a spaceship crashes on Earth, and it's got specimens on it, and they start going a little fucking wild on Earth. They start getting loose on Earth.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 This is the first time Earth has been exposed to aliens? No, in Alien versus Predator, they were like in a

Speaker 1 pyramid under the ice caps or something like that. I think in Covenant, I think it was Covenant.
They also stopped by Earth briefly. Yeah, but those were the engineers, not engineers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, not the xenomorphs. But

Speaker 1 I just don't like the kids, like that the adults are acting like kids. After a while, I'm like, Jesus Christ, man, can we stop acting like kids? But I think it's very good.
It looks great.

Speaker 1 And the fucking aliens, there's some cool aliens. It looks like it has a pretty big budget.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, I haven't been watching any current TV, still doing friends.

Speaker 1 Oh, how's it going going? You got to stick with it, huh? Yeah. I think you might like it, Brian.
There's a lot of gay jokes. Really? Gay innuendos and like the

Speaker 1 Chandler and Joe, Joey, are always

Speaker 1 being confused as a gay couple. So it's like right up your alley.
You like that? I like that. Go on.

Speaker 1 Is anybody mean to them?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 they're always being mistaken as a gay couple. Right.
And they don't like it? Well, they don't. They're just kind of like,

Speaker 1 they kind of feel like Charlie Brown in the moment. They don't get mad about it, but they're kind of like, why do people keep mistaking us as a gay couple?

Speaker 1 Because they're walking around with a baby and everybody in New York thinks that they're a couple. Okay.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's the 90s. You're not going to get your fucking Chris Rock gay jokes.
So go in there thinking you're going to get like raw fucking

Speaker 1 Android Clay level. Network television.
I realize that.

Speaker 1 So I don't want to paint a picture that you're going to be like. Vickory Dickory.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm looking for.

Speaker 1 This is much more a playful, warm,

Speaker 1 kind of a wink at the gay community jokes, you know, and

Speaker 1 it's just endearing. It's heartwarming.

Speaker 1 All right. Wow.
South Park's been on fire this fucking season, man. South Park, I've seen the first.

Speaker 1 It's too mean-spirited for me. South Park? Oh, it's so fucking good.
Well, if you hate Trump and you hate Christine Noam or whatever, this is the show for you. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm just tired of being reminded about the state of the world, though. The politics

Speaker 1 feels like an escape from real-world

Speaker 1 shit.

Speaker 1 And you go watch South Park, I'm like, oh, yeah, everybody hates everybody else.

Speaker 1 Ha ha ha.

Speaker 1 Waltz review for South Park. Fair enough.
Show he hasn't even watched.

Speaker 1 But you like it, Kim. I think it's great this season.
Yeah, I think it's been great for a while. I think it's been all the pandemic stuff I liked.

Speaker 1 I re-watched the Pandaverse episode where

Speaker 1 Cartman switches over with a black female version of himself in a universe. And I was reminded how much I liked the black female version of Cartman.
She was because it's exactly Cartman.

Speaker 1 Like there's no changes at all. She's just a scumdag.
Like, they really nailed it. It was so well done.
I hope they bring those characters back, actually, which I can't tell.

Speaker 1 Is that the point of the episode?

Speaker 1 I don't know. But it was so fucking good.
I kind of missed those

Speaker 1 female versions of them. I always had a lot of respect for Southwark, even though I didn't watch it, because they took on Muhammad and everything, even though

Speaker 1 at the risk of their own heads. Yeah.
Scientology, too. Yeah.
Well, I mean,

Speaker 1 not the same thing, in my opinion. No, there's a lot more.
You got to touch a lot more balls.

Speaker 1 You're right about that. Tell them, Steve, Dave.
