#638: Caws and Baws

Hey everybody, this is Chuck Staten.

You may know me from directing dozens and dozens of videos with Telm Steve Dave over the years or guesting on the show several times.

I'm here to tell you about my podcast, Fun Bearable, and our live show next Sunday, June 1st.

It's going to be at the Comedy Connection in East Providence, Rhode Island.

It's called Narragansett Beer's Fun Bearable Summer Break.

When we do a live podcast, it's really more than just a podcast.

There's a lot of segments, a lot of bits, some improvs, some pranks.

It's going to be a very weird but very fun time.

You can get tickets at funbearablepod.com or follow us at funbearable pod on any social media platform.

Some TESD Town members will be there, including Johnny Law, Jimmy the Hair Guy, and who knows who else.

So that's next Sunday, June 1st, at the Comedy Connection in East Providence, Rhode Island, for Narragansett Beer's Fun Bearable Summer Break.

Hope to see you there.

You are the best header.

No, don't get out of it.

Thanks.

You're acting like you just if you had a freezer and you're with a body in it.

No, who said that, what?

But I cannot stand wind chimes.

Tell him Steve Dave.

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell him Steve Dave.

Q's in the house.

Hey, yo.

Walt's in the house.

Hey, yo.

And we were just talking about something that I feel like Walt is being fiscally irresponsible with Tell him Steve Dave funds.

Really?

Wow.

Sandbagging.

Yeah.

He's paying rent.

We were just talking about the bagel store.

Yeah, there's a bagel store here in the middle of the day.

And

I'm looking at this thing that Q pulled up.

Now, we have a bagel store in the plaza, and just recently there was a warrant of removal, right?

Which is an eviction notice.

And somehow, how did I wish you had a mic because I want to know how you find this shit?

Mrs.

Five.

Mrs.

Five helps you?

No, she.

Mrs.

Five is on the case of the bagel shop?

No, she went to go get food for Frank yesterday.

She went to go get food for Frank and

so the warrant.

Oh, no, but I'm wondering how you get these pages that you're doing.

The church is public records.

Oh, is it?

Yeah.

Now, I want to know because you look at this bagel store now.

If that rent, it's a storefront.

If it was $5,000.

It's less.

And it wasn't.

Oh, is it less?

Yeah, it's $4,500.

$4,500.

You're still talking about like 20 months without paying rent.

How do you get that far along without doing that?

Because they owe how much here?

93K.

Jesus.

$93,000.

$4,500 rent, sore camp fee.

That's got to be someone with like a problem, right?

That's just not paying the rent, like, just gambling.

I think the problem is they're not making enough money.

I mean, look.

They got to prioritize, okay, well, I got to pay my own rent on my own house, my own mortgage.

What do these guys do?

I know these guys can't get me out.

The law will keep me safe for at least two years

as i you know as i put roadblocks to for them to stop me from you know from ousting me yeah i would be so ashamed like they come to pick up the rent and i'm like nah and then the next month i'm like nah i'm telling you it is

it is a problem in the air for a plaza how many people aren't paying rent it is shocking i think you would i think you would be stunned if really yeah i think we're the only people paying rent on time

and i'm surprised we're not treated better for that for that matter too because I get some dirty looks sometimes, too.

That's insane.

Just from the powers that be,

the regime.

Yeah, what'd you do?

I mean, I don't know.

Or is it Guilt by Association?

Maybe it's Giddam that they're

crazy about.

If I had to guess,

it wouldn't be Walton.

Yeah.

So, yeah,

I was shocked.

I mean, when I go down there and I'm the only person paying rent, my heine should be so shiny from all all the kisses.

Yeah,

and like, oh,

you are the best tenant.

No, don't get on it.

Oh, thanks.

Maybe we could like

this to move into, like, you know, a place with a window or something like that.

You know, I told you guys.

Yeah.

But in our airport plaza, oh, like we could be like, look, we pay rent.

You know, we're, you know, we're a good windows mean going downstairs storefront, then you don't like that.

Well, it's also four times the rent.

Four times the rent.

And

what's the cam fee?

The cam fee is there's cameras set up.

No, no, no.

It's

like OnlyFans?

Cool.

I mean, they should.

They're 93,000 in debt.

Oh, all the, and that's $1,000 a month, huh?

It varies.

Oh, it varies.

Okay.

Fucking cool grand a month.

I was going to say it snowed like once or twice.

So just because we're on the second floor, we don't have to pay on this?

Yeah, man, that's the sweet part.

That's the sweet part.

Yeah, okay.

No windows, but you know what?

We save how much a month?

At least a thousand.

So that's $12,000 in savings.

You know, I'll sit and smell get them all day.

I don't give a fuck.

Really?

You don't care?

I mean, it's a tax write-off.

It's not even like coming out of my pocket.

It smells like iodine now, so it's cool.

Yeah, I noticed you got orange patches all over you.

What are we doing?

You're better than yourself.

We should have given him a mic.

Yeah.

There's a lot of attention going get in his way early on.

That's good attention.

He's been on the ball lately.

Has he?

Yeah, he's been really, really good.

I'm glad to hear this.

Yeah, it's been really good.

He's been

like, it is so refreshing.

And it's not back-handed.

No, it's not backhanded.

It's just, it is so refreshing.

It is such a breath of wonderful daisies to be like, hey,

that thing I talked about, I needed to get done.

He had done it already.

Yeah.

Wow.

That's not common.

So when it happens, it's like,

I was floating.

I floated home.

I I didn't even need my fucking jeep.

I just floated home because I was on cloud nine.

So proud of my man.

Yeah, all right, dude.

The bar is that low.

That's great.

You get something.

That is good, though.

No, but he did it well, though.

I'm happy, bro.

Get him.

Congratulations, bud.

He's definitely on the upswing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Definitely on the upswing.

Things are like quality craftsmanship.

quality

effort.

So, yeah.

Yeah, I noticed like the table's not covered in junk that we don't use, and like some of those cables are actually coiled up rather than just thrown in a corner.

A lot of improvements.

He got his ass in gear.

Yeah, he deserves it.

He's all flowers on that.

He's going to cry.

His face is all red.

He doesn't have a speech prepared.

All right.

It's good to see you guys.

I miss you guys.

Oh, yeah.

Good to be back.

I missed you too.

Yeah.

It's been a while.

I missed last week.

Feels like more.

I was there a week before, but then I missed the week before that.

So I've been part-time in the lately.

Yeah.

Are you allowed to talk about what you did?

I don't know.

Because I didn't mention it.

I said I wasn't sure.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I signed a bunch of NDAs and I don't know how.

Yeah.

But I mean, I'm sure people.

I mean, I was in in England and I could say it was a Pinewood Studios.

People could figure it out from there, but it's pretty fucking exciting.

Doctor Who?

Oh, dude, I saw they have.

So Pinewood Studios, for you that don't know, is like a legendary.

It's where they shot Star Wars, all the James Bond stuffs.

And they shit, there are...

In Goldfinger, that street that he races down is there, and it says Goldfinger Way.

And it's all made up to look like, you know, they have a 007 stage.

It's very impressive.

They're shooting Star Wars and

the shooting Avengers Avengers on there.

Really?

And I got to look at the Avenger set.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can't think of it.

NDA, huh?

NDA.

Yeah.

I got to look at the Avenger set.

By the way, it was just

like you were building it.

Just looked like Plywood.

When has TSD Town had to abide by NDAs, though?

When you want to be in more stuff, we're like, it requires an NDA.

You go ahead and you.

We got diplomatic immunity in TSD town, I thought, for NDAs.

Yeah, only in TSD Town.

But It was huge.

I was on a set like I've never seen before in my life.

Hundreds of people, hundreds of extras.

It was wild.

Wow.

But it was pretty crazy.

But I was in England for six days.

Brian Lynch was there.

Oh, was he?

Yeah, he's there.

Oh, so I know what this project is then.

Well, no, his wife works on Star Wars.

That's what I thought it was.

He just happens to be living there for a little bit.

And we just were able to hang out for a couple of days, which is kind of cool.

But the coolest thing that happened was I had like two,

I had like two days completely by myself, which is weird.

And they put me up in this old building called Oakley Court or Oakley Manor.

And I'm looking at the fucking building.

Yeah, pull up pictures.

And I'm like, I know this fucking building from somewhere.

So I say to the guy, I'm like, Jesus.

Looks like a goddamn castle.

I mean, it looks like a castle.

And I'm like, and see that building to the right there?

Like, go to the right, get him.

All the way to the right, now down.

You're other right.

Sorry, but your left.

I'm looking at opposite you.

See those windows to the left of that picture?

That's the hotel I was in.

They don't put you up in that big building.

Okay.

But it's right on the Thames River.

And when I say right, I mean like the river goes right next to it.

And it's a quiet little bend in the river and shit like that.

Anyway, I'm looking at the fucking thing and I'm like, I know this from somewhere.

I know it.

So I asked the guy, I was like, this has been in movies, right?

And then he says, well, it's in a bunch of the old Hammer films, Hammer R films.

They used it for it.

But he goes, the big one that you know it from is Rocky R Picture Show.

He goes, that's Frankenstein's Castle.

That's real.

Yeah.

And I was like, holy fuck, I used to love Rocky R Picture Show.

You don't love it anymore?

Well, I haven't watched it in so long.

Last time I saw it, it was like, because I was into this girl, right?

It's always a girl.

Always a girl in high school.

And she used to do Rocky Horror at the Amboy Twin on Staten Island.

And I didn't know anything about it.

I was like, you know, 17, 18.

I was like, oh, I'll go.

Like, you know, I'll go.

And it was the weirdest fucking freak festival time.

You know what I mean?

It's Rocky Horror.

So it's like, everybody's dressed in fishnets.

So, you know, in the 90s, for a 17-year-old kid on Staten Island.

It was like, I surprised you to.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I surprised you to to something you didn't knock.

I just allowed it.

What's all this game?

You!

And you, and you.

But I ended up going to Rocky Harris

over the course of that summer, probably like four or five times.

I went just to like, because she was dressed.

I fell in love with it.

Or I fell in love with her and fishnets is what I fell in love with.

But yeah, I did it.

Did that love make you put on a pair of fishnets?

Not yet.

No, okay.

So I know the movie really well.

And then it was on Broadway with uh, I think Joan Jett played the character.

I went to go see it on Broadway.

Um, and I've always just kind of liked the movie.

And now that I was there, like, I started playing the soundtrack and I watched the movie last night, and I'm like, full-on back into

I just love Rocky Harris again, man.

You love it again.

Rekindled the fire.

And this time, I'm like, I'd put on the fishnets.

I'd do it.

I'd go and do it.

Would you?

Young, would young Q

beat the shit out of old Q?

Well, no, I hope so.

Fishnets.

I was walking around the building, like, oh, this is so cool.

Where's my fishnets?

Yeah, it was pretty, it was pretty, it was pretty cool.

But I was there for two days by myself, like, just thinking.

Yeah.

And what's worse for a guy like Gustin?

Just sitting there for two days by the time I'm thinking of it.

I'm not the time to think.

Sitting on the fucking banks of the Thames, just like thinking at one in the morning.

It's not great.

Got a lot of changes I got to make.

You can't can't get a pair of Spanks fishnets?

I don't mean to lose a weight.

I used to be my life.

Yeah, that's the river right there.

See how it goes right next to me.

So nice.

No, it's just about my life, you know, and all my decisions and what I'm going to do.

It's going to be good.

It was good.

It was necessary.

I feel like a new man coming back from England.

So you felt you needed to course correct?

Well, I just feel like.

Because I'm looking at you now.

I didn't think you, I thought you had it.

Shit was tight.

Yeah, like, what more can go right for this guy?

He's tight.

What the fuck?

Yeah, I was like, Jesus Christ, if this shit ain't tight, I know.

He's like, I'm on an all-expense trip to England, sitting on the bank of the Thames, thinking of how I fucked up.

I don't know.

You might be too hard on yourself.

Oh, my God.

No, it's like, it's like, look, May, what's today?

May 23rd.

May 31st of this year would have been my 20-year fire department anniversary.

And not that I don't think I would retire to 20 years,

nobody gets to just love it too much.

But that was always the thought, like, oh, when that 20 years goes by, that era could be at an end.

And then with the TV show, I was always like, well, you know, I'll do it till I was going to retire from the fire department.

And our contract's up now, and they want more seasons.

But I am having that thing of like,

is it just time for something new?

You know what I mean?

Is it like New Horizons or to disappear?

I don't know.

So it was like a lot of, you know, cut to me, fucking do four more seasons.

But, you know, it was a lot of deep thoughts and getting older

and, you know, a lot of deep thoughts on the fucking banks of the teams.

And you came to some conclusions, so it sounds like.

You know,

I'll tell you, the honest truth is one decision was after the season's over, I think I'm just.

Let me finish.

I was like, I think I'm just going to,

no matter what, whether we do more seasons or not, just fucking just disappear.

Tell them like I need a year and a half before we do anymore.

And just disappear.

And then it came to this podcast.

And I was like, I wonder how the guys would feel if I came and was like, guys, oh, you mean tell them Steve Davis?

Literally everything.

And I was like, and I was like, if I come to him and be like, you know what, guys, like, I'm just going to take a few months off.

Maybe I'll come back for the Christmas special.

And then by the end of it, I was like, I don't want to.

I don't want to take time off.

And then it starts going.

Then it's like, well, then I'm going to miss the crew if I don't do the show.

And then that happens.

And then before you know it, I'm like, ah, fuck, I'm just going to be busy till the day I die.

You know?

Yeah.

But I don't know.

I'm going back and forth on a lot of stuff.

I got to figure out the second beautiful act here, right?

Second, huh?

Second, yeah.

I thought this was third or fourth.

Second half of my life.

Second half of my life.

Yeah, I got to start worrying about that.

Like, do you?

I think so.

Why do you have to worry about it?

Well, concern myself with it.

Maybe worry is not the right thing.

What's next?

I don't want to just do what I'm doing now for the rest of my life.

Just take it as it comes.

Maybe.

You could, could, like,

you could slow down a little.

Like, you don't have to say yes to everything.

Like, you are the, it seems like you are constantly out.

Like,

like, not in your house, you're at a charity event where you're doing something, you know, in LA or you're doing something in England.

Maybe that's it.

It's just like being away from home for so long.

But that stuff

goes hand in hand with the lifestyle I'm living.

So to get rid of all that, I have to really get rid of

a lot.

Like, just really rewrite the rules about what I'm doing day to day.

Anyway, I didn't mean to come in here and talk about this.

This is just what I was thinking, you know, out there.

Kind of like, wow, I got like another 40 years of life.

Like, what am I going to do with it?

I did this.

Right.

Like, what am I going to do next?

I don't mean the podcast.

I mean, right, right.

Yeah.

I don't know.

So it's just weird thoughts.

I'm not used to like fucking sitting by myself, not talking for two days.

Yeah.

It's a lot out of my head.

But the thing that saved me was Rocky Horror.

Rocky Horror, I mean, it's one of those movies.

I've seen half of it.

I never saw the whole Rocky Horror picture show.

And the first time I saw half of it was we were at a con in Florida down in Miami.

And Ming was like, hey, you want to go to the Rocky Horror thing?

And I was like, yeah, sure.

Well, I'll go.

I've never seen it before.

He shows up with two of the drunkest strippers I think I've ever seen in my life.

And I know it's supposed to be a good time, and you don't have to really be quiet, but they were so fucking obnoxious, I was like, I'm out.

Yeah, I just left.

So I never actually got to see the second half.

Tim Curry's so fucking good in it.

And I heard he's good in it.

Susan Sarandon.

They're all good.

I watched it again last night.

We will watch it.

You want to watch it?

Yeah, sure.

Let's watch it.

All right.

All right.

Why not?

Get our fish nets out.

What are you doing tonight?

You want to come over and watch RGR?

I'll do two nights in a row.

But good time.

You know, I did see this, Q.

What do you got?

Very concerned for you.

Me?

Yeah.

I see that Murray is stealing your railroad thunder.

I did see that.

Yeah.

I was like, what?

Like, Q was talking about his

setup at home, and it goes a little circle.

It goes around in a circle.

Murray bought an entire house

filled with.

He saved it.

He saved the Pacific, the club or whatever it was, right?

Yeah.

Well, this is very similar.

He saved a miniature.

Well, see that track?

Yeah, but apparently it's like a thousand square foot basement or something where the whole thing is that set up.

And his club meets there once a week.

Oh, the club can still come.

Well, when Murray bought the house, he said, because he was buying the house for something else, he's like, Look, I'll save the basement.

They could still come every week and do it.

And they're obviously very happy because he owns all that now, which is kind of cool.

Yeah, he blew me out of the water.

Yeah,

sorry to see that.

You're going to have to double up your

I can go by anytime I want and play with his train, so I'm going to

yeah, yeah.

Yeah, what I missed.

What happened last week?

You guys did episode?

Yeah, but there was also another concerning thing that happened regarding Q.

And Gidham, I think, probably should get on mic after I say it, but did you have, did you own a storage unit that you went went delinquent on?

And

because there's a whole bunch, there's somebody selling a whole bunch of Q-related items, and Giddem actually bought one, some stuff off the guy.

And the guy lives in Hazlitt.

Really?

Yeah, tell him.

No, no, no, don't get up.

Tony's going to go get it.

Just tell him.

You don't hate the show.

I don't in Hazlitt?

The guy lives in Hazlitt.

But he said he bought the storage unit in Staten Island.

I don't think so.

Had taps, glasses.

I bought a hat that matched my Christmas sweater.

I got a nice cut out of it.

I didn't have a storage unit, but I had furniture.

You had a storage unit.

I mean,

you went the way of that bagel store.

Did you owe more than 93K on that storage unit?

Because if you did, yeah, they blew it open and somebody bought the contents.

Not to my knowledge.

Is it possible one of your people dropped the ball?

Let me ask right now.

All right.

Yeah,

I had, well, the shipping was exorbitant, but then I realized the guy was in Hazlitt, so I said, oh, can you do a local pickup?

And I pretended I didn't, you know.

I wasn't making it.

You're playing it cool?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But there is cardboard cutouts at your face on it.

Oh, that's probably from the Nitro Circus.

No, no, it's all rumps and no, we have an RNH.

Oh, you have it?

We have it.

A unit dedicated to RNH stuff?

I mean, I was in it like four months ago.

It's not even like four months ago.

Lock it happen in four months.

No, my point is it's like pays every month.

Like, why would they?

It's like on autopay.

Right.

The card get canceled.

Yeah, expired or something.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Hey, man, if they did, good luck.

There's furniture in it.

Did you have furniture in it?

There was some furniture in it.

Hopefully it wasn't expensive furniture.

That's a great picture.

It is.

Q and old Benjamin.

Hopefully, we didn't get somebody in trouble.

I thought maybe you just let it go because you're like, fuck, I don't need this shit no more.

So you're making the decisions out in England.

You're in court.

Guess what?

Cancel the storage unit.

We We don't need it no more.

No.

So get him.

This guy said he bought my unit and he's selling.

Yeah, he's selling it piecemeal.

Wow, I mean, that's the stuff that's in the unit.

Oh, well, that just took care of itself, Bizarre.

Oh, wow.

You're tough.

I assumed that it was not.

There's like, there's no way.

Like I said, Q shit is so tight.

There's no way he's not paying his

bill on his storage unit.

I was like, this has to be somebody who was like

a Q fanatic who couldn't pay his bill.

I would have never dreamed that this was actually Q's merch.

Well, hold on.

I'm looking into it.

I was wondering, Walt, when you were talking about

last week, when you were talking about you and Alicia going up to the hospital and her accidentally fucking up the GPS.

Did I tell that on Mike?

Yeah, you told that on Mike.

Did I?

And I think so, yeah.

I don't think so.

No.

I don't think I did.

No, because I remember you you go, it was so fucked up.

And then I thought for some

of that stuff.

Well, you know,

I did get an email saying that

a listener was pretty upset that I retold the story about Alicia and me going to see lights,

saying that, like, hey, can you stop retelling stories?

Oh, my God.

So, but

this would be really bad if I tell the same story two weeks in a row.

But yeah.

So my daughter, Caitlin, Caitlin, was having the baby.

She goes in on Wednesday night, but they say

baby's not going to come until

probably late Thursday night.

You know,

you can expect that.

So my wife goes up around seven o'clock in the morning and she says, you and Alicia can go up later this evening.

So me and Alicia get in the car.

I put the, I put the coordinates in my Jeep and

She puts it in her phone.

And as we're driving up, Alicia keeps going, you know, if we go my way, we could save like a half hour.

And I'm like, well, let's go your way.

This traffic is horrendous going this way.

So we start to go her way.

And all the whole time, I should have realized that the Jeep is fighting me, saying, go back,

go back, turn around, go back.

Is there anything more annoying than that when you think you're going the right way?

And I'm like, I go, this shit is so broken.

I said, this is like, I can't stand this GPS and this Jeep.

It's always wrong.

I said, so then we get off.

We finally get to the hospital in Pennsylvania.

It's like a two hour with traffic.

It was almost three hours.

And we get into the parking lot of the hospital, and Alicia looks at her, the

location where she could see where Deb is.

And she just lets out this gasp, and she goes, oh no, mom's in a different hospital.

And I was like, what?

And she goes, yeah, she's in the hospital.

It's like,

she's like, it's like an hour and a half away.

So we went the wrong way.

We went to the wrong hospital.

The hospital are all the same name in Pennsylvania, though.

So we didn't know that every hospital was named the same, whatever it's called.

So So we had to fucking get hop back on the highway and we walked into the hospital

and I shit you not as we got off the elevator We see Deb sitting here like What's going on?

She's like nothing yet and then two seconds later, you know, we were we were let in literally two seconds later.

We were able to go in so nobody had any idea that I had just walked in like two seconds before, you know, that we were allowed to see the baby.

Right.

My question was, because when you told the story and you were like so calm, cool, and collected with Alicia.

Oh, yeah, yeah, because she was fucking having a meltdown.

Right.

I had to remain super calm, or else, like, it could have gone to DEF CON 4 if I was

showed any hint of annoyance, it would have been bad because she was so upset.

She would have got upset.

She was already upset.

I wondered, like, if it was Giddam.

Would I have the same reaction?

Right.

Like, you and Giddam.

I probably would have screamed.

Like,

I probably would have screamed in his face.

He would have no eyebrows from the laser laser fucking

onslaught.

Especially if it didn't go the way it went where you walked in and the baby's like, here he is.

It happened when we went to the

outdoor game.

The stadium series.

Yeah, because my GPS wanted me not to avoid tolls.

Yeah, it was fun.

The difference between the NHL outdoor game was that Giddam wanted to be there six hours before the game started.

So it didn't matter what time he got there because we had to freeze our balls off for no reason.

Oh, that's right.

It was cold.

It was brutal.

That was the coldest I've ever been in my life.

Yeah.

And for those who, like, there are some people who didn't even know that I guess my daughter was having a baby.

If you want to know the story behind it, well,

I mean, if not the birds and the bees, but the story is told on the Tim Benefit pod, Tim the Record Store Benefit Pod.

If you haven't picked that up, go pick it up.

And you'll hear a good story and you'll help a good guy

with his battle right now.

Ongoing battles.

And that's on Bandcamp.

It's called Tim the Record Store Benefit Pod.

How's Tim doing?

You talk to him?

I talked to him.

He got his voice

procedure where

it comes to it, if it comes to it,

he'll be able to communicate.

uh by much like you did with your speaking spell yeah but it'll be a much more advanced it'll sound like him.

It sounds like him.

And I think there's no words that he can't

type in that would like won't sound like him when he converses with people.

Hopefully they'll even come to that.

Yeah, hopefully it doesn't.

No.

And they got all the

episodes done because I did three and then I never heard back from anybody ever again.

I wasn't sure if they did it.

Well, you did it wrong.

So they were like, I was like, don't

give any more to Brock.

No, I'm only kidding.

I'm only kidding.

Holy shit.

I did exactly what was asked of me.

No, no, no.

I'm only kidding.

Yeah, it was fine.

Yeah.

Whatever you turned in worked perfectly, and it's completely done.

He just texted me this morning, actually, and said that

he got the program, and it's in his hands when he needs it.

This is Declan.

Oh, this is Tim.

This is Tim.

Oh, Tim has the program.

Okay.

Yeah, it's all sorted.

Oh, nice.

That's cool.

What was the, did you find out?

No, I wish you guys hadn't told me, actually, because now it's like,

all I can do is, I mean, I don't care if we if it's gone, gone it's gone like I don't care but like I have then I have internal problems like why didn't it get to me before they sold it off so now I'm sorry no I wish I had I assume oh god yeah it's all right you're gonna find out though would I I don't know what's my point like what the

what the fuck

yeah if nobody says anything to you I mean forget him when did this guy tell you that he bought my thing that I'm finding out fucking weeks later no no it was only It was less than a week ago.

It was like four days ago.

Why is it three days before he's texting me and being like, this guy's selling out your finger?

Oh,

well, you know what?

And in his defense, he said, Should I tell Q?

And I was like, I said, there's no way that Q allows

his storage unit to go unpaid.

I said, this is not his storage unit.

I said, this is some hardcore collector.

I said,

or it's the guy who made the shit for Q.

Well, probably the credit card ran out.

I mean, I know what was in there, and it's like, it's fine.

Like, there's, you know, there's nothing in there that I'm like.

A little piece of furniture I wanted, actually, if I'm being honest.

I bet you, you know, it just probably, the guy still has it.

We can, you can contact the guy.

The guy's sick.

He's a decent guy.

You're mad at the guy?

No, no, no.

I'm not mad at anybody.

I don't really care.

Like, that's the thing.

At the end of the day, it's like, I don't really, I don't really care.

There was nothing in there that I'm like,

but, you know.

Don't be mad at him.

Because he did it.

No, no, no.

Yeah, no, I don't mean it like that, buddy.

And I said, I would not bother Q.

He's in England right now.

I said, I, and I go, there's little to no chance on the planet that guy

lets his his storage unit go unpaid.

Right.

Because it takes a long time before they do that.

So it's at least a couple of months.

It's not like he misses one month and then they get rid of all your shit.

You got notices.

It had to be a credit card.

It got canceled or something and they didn't get it.

And it probably went to an email that I don't check and blah, blah, blah.

It's all right.

It's the worst thing that could happen to me.

In fact, it's a little bit of relief that all that shit's out of my life.

But we brought the show down though.

That threw me a bit, only only because I got to figure it out, not because I'm like upset.

I'm just like, well, where was the breakdown?

You're acting like if you had a freezer and you're with a body in it.

No, who says that?

Mark?

Oh, wouldn't that be crazy?

Oh, my God.

What do you guys do?

Oh,

it's like a drifter's body.

As soon as I can talk to you.

The moment I can talk to you, I'm going to be a good one.

I've got to record an episode before they hold me all the way.

Got to do a Q benefit pod for his lawyers.

Yeah, really.

That's a tough face, though, that benefit pod to help Q.

Fund this legal team.

They found a body in this

storage unit.

There was some rhythm of Diane's out there.

The curator's still.

The curator's there.

He's still buying it.

I don't care.

He's true blue.

Tony Starcan, who can he's with me still.

Not some of the 13% or something?

Because I'm assuming it's some dead prostitutes.

Oh, I went drifter.

Yeah, I was thinking dead prostitutes, probably like three or four.

You'll always get some people that are like, damn, what'd they do?

Oh, wow.

But you were asking me about Alicia being upset with Nawai.

Yeah, the question was, if it were Ghetto.

Oh, if we were Ghidhup.

Yeah, that was my question.

I had to bottle it up.

And, you know,

I was very proud of myself though i just was like i don't i told her i reassured her there's no way that kid's coming until 11 o'clock i said tonight

but it that kid was there at 8 30 right and we got there at 8 25 probably

that's all if you know it all worked out though yeah there was no reason to like if i had blown up what would have been the point right yeah it only would have made her feel worse yeah it would have made her feel worse she was already feeling bad as it was it was it was a teaching moment and maybe i maybe i should bring that

what i learned dealing with her to

my work son.

I treat my biological daughter differently than my work son, and I shouldn't.

I'm ashamed of myself.

They're about the same.

Yeah.

I was thinking that I talked about going to Vegas.

There really wasn't much to say

because I didn't really do that much aside from doing that podcast fest.

But I did forget, and I wrote it down that when we first got there, and it was multiple times, Mary Beth and I were, we were referred to as the kids.

Oh, really?

Take it where you can get it.

Yeah, take it where you can get it.

There you go.

Playing on the planet, you're getting referred to as a kid.

For Christ's sakes, I'm a 57-year-old man.

What do you mean, kid?

And it's not like these people are like 80.

They're like 62.

So I'm only like five years older than them.

But repeatedly referred to as younger.

Yeah, sorry.

Repeatedly referred to as, oh, when are the kids going?

Where are they going?

Wow.

Kids, yeah.

Kids.

Felt so youthful.

Yeah.

See, that's when you take that opportunity, go get some Grecian formula.

Fucking

brown beard.

Get that beard fucking.

Make my hair the same color.

It was never brown, though.

That's okay.

It doesn't matter.

A lot of people.

Just grab what's ever on the shelf, whatever color.

You think I looked young then.

Say, look who's here.

Dad Kid Johnson.

It's your kid.

What are the kids saying?

I don't know.

Whatever we want.

I also found out that it had spread around.

Now, I told...

Q-learned this about me in when we were down in Q West, that I cannot stand wind chimes.

Yeah.

I hate them.

Like a phobic reaction.

That may be the sign of a diseased mind.

Could be.

Usually those are calming and

they bring you to a state of

10.

Yeah, no, not at all, man.

Like ever since I was little, I've hated them.

I hate the motion of them.

I hate the way they sound.

And I also, I mentioned it on the show.

I was like, I think it's arrogant when people put up wind chimes because it's like everybody around you now has to listen to them too.

Like, I don't want, like, my neighbors have had wind chimes when I lived in Highlands, and I used to go and take them down at night.

So, my daughter, the baby was born a couple days of her Mother's Day, so I got to buy her a Mother's Day gift.

I brought her wind chimes.

Got her wind chimes?

Oh, you arrogant son of a bitch.

Yeah,

it's like, fuck your neighbors.

You got a kid now.

And they want to hear this every day.

It was a little baby turtle, like, in a, laying on a pillow in a blanket, and underneath were all these like silver wind chimes.

I was in a pinch.

I went to a drugstore.

I was like, give me something out of a strange fucking town.

I don't know what to get.

All my places where I usually shop, I don't know where anything is.

And they're in Pennsylvania and fucking Tim Fuck too.

There's one drugstore in between.

The next one will be 45 minutes away.

I was like, I'll take that.

It's like forgetting like that.

She likes turtles, right?

Yeah.

It looks like a baby.

Baby turtle.

Yeah, it's like forgetting to get somebody a souvenir on your way home from a trip.

You're like, shit.

And then you got to buy something in the airport that's kind of like

doesn't doesn't look like you got it from the airport my point about the wind chimes being though is that i found out later on that like because marybeth's mom will take hers down yeah when you're there just when i'm there she'll take them down just to yeah just so i don't have to listen to them but she also went around to the neighbors you went on the manifesto you went on your fucking wind chime manifesto at dinner table with them you let them know you hate them oh yeah well they've known for a while this isn't the first trip they've learned it they knew it for a while but this time around they went around to a couple of the neighbors and were like hey we got

such an asshole

They have special guys.

They keep saying it, like, her mom thinks it's funny.

She's like, he's afraid of wind chimes.

I'm like, I'm not afraid of them.

Well, that's her just being passive-aggressive.

Yeah, she's like,

okay,

big deal about the wind chimes.

All right, I'm going to tell everybody in the neighborhood he's scared of them.

There are wind chimes everywhere, man.

Yeah.

You have to put a new street sign up.

Yeah, look at that.

With your face.

With your face.

Yeah, like deaf child area.

It's like no wind chimes.

Big fat pussy on lives on lives lives on this street.

Why fat?

Well, we know why.

To be fair, I knew why back then.

Oh, my God.

What else do we got here?

Hawktua spoke out.

Who?

Hawktua.

That's still going on?

She disappeared, right?

After she disappeared.

She appeared for like four or five months.

Yeah.

I think I.

Okay.

I think I need a new fucking iPad or something.

Okay, here we go.

Hawk to a Haley girl.

Well, Hawk.

What was that?

I don't know.

I was like, how do you know?

You better go laid out.

I'm having a seizure over here.

Hawk to a girl.

Haley Welch didn't know how crypto worked before Meme Coin Disaster.

As Viral Celeb finally speaks out, I got talked into it.

I got talked to into it.

Yeah, exactly.

Now,

I saw her, her podcast.

Yeah, nice.

Yeah, no wind chimes.

Get them to pop a sign.

Oh, is that AI?

She

started doing her podcast again, and it's gone from like

hundreds of thousands of listeners down to like 17,000.

Like, pretty good.

Still not bad.

Very is dwarfing ours at this point.

Still not bad.

But

my question about her, like, she almost almost dismissed everything that had to do with her.

She's like, she admits, like when she goes through this whole thing where she admits that she didn't know what the meme coin was.

She didn't understand it.

She knew that it was something weird about it.

She was like, I knew something was off.

She's going.

She's like, but then I got talked into it.

It's like, that's your fault.

Yeah.

That's not, that's not their fault for talking you into it.

It's not their fault that you don't understand this shit.

She trusted the wrong person.

She trusted the wrong people.

That's what she said.

Yeah.

And

but I was just like, I couldn't believe the

desire or the attempt to get out of any responsibility whatsoever.

She's like, you know, I'm sorry I let down my fans.

That's all.

That's really all she said in terms of

what would you have been looking for from her?

I feel like

she had her time.

She was an internet meme.

She got a little bit of notoriety, a little bit of money off of it.

She seemed likable enough.

But this is where you see it's like she's just an average person.

She's just a dummy.

So, like, so why, why come back?

Why not just like do your own thing?

But she still got 17,000 listeners.

Not for long.

I bet you not for long.

There's no fucking way.

When I watched this podcast, I was like, this is the most boring fucking shit.

This should be exciting.

But she's talking about the whole crypto disaster and it was the most boring shit ever.

Did she mention how much she pocketed from it?

She said said after she got an upfront fee, didn't say how much, but she said it all went to like lawyers, PR people, that kind of thing.

Now,

I don't think whoever did her PR, I think she should get her money back.

Good luck with that.

Yeah,

because

there was, I saw nothing about her at all.

So, like, where's the damage control?

She should have just

not disappeared, though.

She should have come out immediately.

She should have been angry.

I think disappearing is

tough then to come back and be like, I didn't know.

Well, why'd you disappear?

Oh, probably because everybody was fucking screaming at it.

Who told you to lay low?

That's true.

Where's the joy in popping your head out when people are like, fuck you?

Sometimes you got to face the fucking music.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You have a hat two girls.

Hey,

we haven't faced the music sometimes.

I think

we face it weekly on Reddit, I believe.

Yeah, there was times when we didn't face the music for about a month.

Yeah, that's nice.

Those are nice times to remember.

And what happened?

Nothing.

Isn't that what you want?

Yeah, so Hawk Tua, I think Hawk Tua's time is done.

I hate to say, let's see what she parlays this into.

Maybe this is where she shines.

You think so?

She has no, I mean, her set still looks pretty good, but she has no, she thinks she's one sponsor left.

It's harder for her to get guests now.

Do we have a sponsor this week?

We do.

How many?

Just the one.

Uh-oh.

I was going to say, Leo, we could say we have more sponsors than her.

We definitely do usually weekly.

I mean, she has, when I say she has one sponsor, she's not just one that week, she has one for every week.

Now, do you think she sits around trying to come up with the next catch sexual catchphrase?

Like, okay.

I doubt it.

That would be the way to go.

If I was her PR person, I'd be like, all right, we got to sit down in a room together for an entire week just coming up with sexual catchphrases.

And you just spit them out

almost like Spongebob, like,

right.

Just try to catch fire.

Catch lightning in a bottle twice.

Do you think there is something that she could say that would I don't know why it happened the first time?

So just it just all the internet just happened to be

the right time, the right place.

It's all lightning in a bottle, man.

But these, these kind of people, they do, like, they, they wear out their welcome and they disappear.

And, like, maybe that's what you should have just done.

Said, fuck it, man.

Like, I'm done.

But it can't be too dirty and too gross.

Right.

Like, Hawk 2 is just

general enough and ambiguous enough that, like, unless you explain it,

you know, it doesn't sound that dirty.

But you're right.

But I mean, people fucking latched onto it.

I mean, even like that.

I was on the road to, I believe, the Grand Canyon coming back,

and it was on the internet.

And I went into a mall, and there was like one of those kiosks.

They had already made these, like, fucking,

what's that shitty

thing, Cricket?

Like, they were making shirts out of the cricket, you know, the vinyl.

Oh, yeah.

They said Hawk 2 was spit on that thing on the back.

I mean, within a day or two, they were trying to cash in with the internet and the popularity of it.

Yeah,

so fast.

Like that guy who's that quick on the draw,

he just needs a better vehicle because that's fucking amazing that somebody's that quick on the fucking that quick.

And she mentioned it.

She wasn't happy about it.

She's like, you know, all these people,

knocking off my merch and stuff.

Yeah, boo-hoo.

Yeah.

Talk to us.

Tasty makes the world takes, bitch.

You're very angry.

What is the coin worth now?

What is Hawktu coin worth?

Oh, zero.

Absolutely.

Not even a cent.

No, not even a cent.

It's like a fraction of a cent, I believe.

Woof.

Yeah, it was like, it was like what they call, I believe, rug pulling, right?

Get them?

Yeah, where they set up.

Rug pulling?

Yeah, where they set up

these meme coins or these

cryptocurrency.

And there's a certain, like, the people who set it up, they know.

what's going to happen.

They know that a Hawktua situation is going to happen.

So they let everybody buy in, and then they sell.

And then that's the rubber pulling is when they sell when the people who set it up so oh my god it's worth point zero zero zero zero one two eight two of a cent

with a market cap of twelve point three four thousand

when it was at its high i think it was what was it like something nuts like 500 million or something oh it was something it was something crazy yeah oh my god why can't it happen again though

what part what is the whole thing like another internet celebrity puts out a coin and the same thing happens.

Like, why?

What is in place to stop this from happening again, though?

Nothing, right?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Yeah, so that's why

I don't like this bullshit.

But fucking

bitch shit.

That's what I call it.

I'm going to go.

I got to get my cricket real quick.

I've got to make a shirt.

Go rent a kiosk in the mall.

You have to make a story.

I think Joe would be like, I don't see any rent coming from this business either.

We want to do everything bigger and better.

We're going to stick it for 94K.

Previous tenant to 93.

I'm doing 94, bitch.

Well, not only that, bitch shit now goes up on the main

sign.

It's going to have an asterisk.

Yeah, it's got to have an asterisk.

Yeah, in the eye, yeah.

But everybody knows what it means.

And it stands for anything.

Anything that sucks, it's bitch shit.

All right.

Little Hawktua.

Yeah, and it's weird because she had, like, on the podcast, she had, instead of like just coming on and saying, like, like, doing a monologue and saying, like, here's what happened.

She had her friend with these canned questions that were so bad.

Oh, God Almighty.

Yeah, it's like, it's like, interesting, you should ask that.

That kind of shit.

It was really set up.

Didn't have the free-flowing, like, fun hawk to it energy that the.

And she was there without her PR people, so she was making it up as she went.

She doesn't know what to do anymore.

Yeah.

I wonder if she has any money from it.

I wonder if she survived.

I bet you she...

I know she did

some appearances.

Yeah.

Yeah, so I'm sure she got appearance fees.

But there were rumors that she walked away with millions from that, that she's the one that walked away from the Bit scandal.

Really?

So for her to come back tells me she didn't, though.

Because if you walk away with millions, you don't come back.

Yeah, you just go, you move on to something else.

Yeah, you can't apologize.

Right.

Right.

So she must not have, or else why come back and do a do a shitty pod?

Right.

You know?

Yeah.

That's what I believe.

I think that she probably has one sponsor.

Like, what's the point?

One sponsor, yeah.

Like, nobody, like, the Jake, the Paul brothers, Jake and Logan Paul were backing it before.

So they had like a budget.

They had, you know, their contacts, you know, to get guests and shit.

Oh, they were backing her podcast?

Yeah, they were, they were in business with her.

Oh, wow.

I think they might have even had something to do with the meme coin.

I'm not positive.

They did?

Okay, yeah.

Guinness confirming that.

How come they don't pay a price?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Like, I had heard that the Paul brothers had something to do with it, and everything came down on Hawktua.

I mean, she's the face of it, I guess.

Well, it doesn't happen without her.

Right, it doesn't happen without her.

And she had the opportunity to say no.

She knew she should have said no.

I don't know if she knew to say no.

She said she knew she should have said no.

Oh, well, she's saying that, yeah, yeah.

Line say 2020.

Yeah.

But I guess, like you said, she just likes,

like, the riches were promised, I bet.

And it's going to, everybody's going to get rich off this.

It's crypto.

Blah, blah, blah.

Very, yeah.

The Pied Piper

was playing his tune, like they always do.

And rats will follow.

Rats do follow,

they always do.

It's their nature.

But you're rats.

Now, I wanted to...

get your guys' opinion on this, but it's, I'm kind of loath to bring it up.

It's kind of a touchy

subject because it has to deal with Canada

and sports.

But the Maple Leafs were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs the other day.

And they have a history of

going south when it matters and not showing up in big games.

And they haven't won a cup since 67.

And apparently that city is New York on steroids in terms of the press and the attention that the hockey club gets.

Okay.

And that now has gone

also now the mounting pressures from social media and fan base

doing things that

cross the line during the season towards players and shit.

Okay.

So now that they're using that as an excuse,

some of the players.

as to why they why the pressure is too much at times.

Oh, boy.

Yeah, what do you think?

Does the fan base hold some accountability for the team's inability to, like, they're booing them constantly?

These are their fans that are booing them?

Oh, yeah.

Their fans are.

What team is this?

The Toronto Maple Leafs.

That's what I say.

I don't want to piss off Canada because I did, and it was dicey.

It was bad.

And since that time,

you cannot believe some of the fucking hate emails I'm getting.

Like, I thought I was fucking

W's for Flanagan.

I thought I had the fucking tough.

It's for the same issue?

No, no, no.

It's all different shit.

Yeah, it's all like, but some, like, people physically want to punch me, they say.

What?

Over what?

Apparently, I was too harsh on Ming.

On Ming?

On Ming's stand-up.

I thought you were pretty dead on with Ming Stand-up.

But I guess I could have said it in a nicer way.

For this person, but it's like, you need a punch in the mouth.

Did Ming write the email?

Wow.

But what was their point?

Like, what was their point?

They

are no longer listening because

I trash too many things.

And

I'm a guy who deserves a punch, who's never gotten punched in the mouth.

So that's why you go on Mike and you trash everybody.

Wow.

I don't.

Ming sent it to me.

He knew he was going to get trashed.

Did Ming, like, Ming didn't actually think that we were going to go over it and be like, wow, what a fucking great set.

The next Louis C.K., everyone.

Come on.

But it's just, it is surprising, though, when you get these emails and people are now saying that they physically want to assault you.

That is

a different tone.

And then I read Gidem one yesterday that I got

saying they hate me in Gidem because

we're stupid and we're the dumbest fucks ever.

They don't know how I was able to procreate because I'm so stupid.

You still get nice emails?

Yeah, I still get some nice ones, but boy, those harsh ones, they linger around your head longer than the good ones.

The good ones, you kind of like,

you kind of don't even notice them.

Like, why do you dismiss them?

That's human nature.

Yeah, is it?

Like, everybody does it.

Yeah, I think.

And that's what goes right back to the players.

The players are getting

treated, I think,

horrifically by the media and their own fan base.

But if the wind blows a different and the fan base sends me some emails, I'm like, those players had to come in.

Those players had to come.

They're getting paid millions to play a child's game.

Put on your big boy pants, assholes.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Yeah, whatever you're thinking in your head right now at home, we agree with.

No need to write Waltz either.

But I found that a stunning admission, though.

And it is an indication of we're living in different times because

I think social media now is really affecting athletes.

Sure.

It's like you have a pipeline of hatred coming your way.

And it's like people who couldn't fucking do anything on the field, what these guys are doing.

Sure.

It is fucking so.

They got a Gmail account, though, Walt, so they can give you their opinion.

But these fucking fat, out-of-shape losers

or skinny jean-wearing femmes

to think that they could get on that fucking sheet of ice and fucking score a goal like Austin matthews but they're gonna fucking ruin his life yeah

i find that like how do you write those texts or how do you post those things on x how do you do that and not be so self-aware like i have been upset with my guys and the devil's team yeah

but i have never once been so out of touch that i was like i got to get out there and fucking show them what to do or telling them

or how yeah or how they how they should do things yeah i just get upset that they didn't win but I would not want to be a person that they would point to and be like, you made my life miserable.

Right.

You know, I hate it playing in the city.

Like you, as a human, I want to ruin you a day and make you feel bad.

Yeah.

I would not want to be that person.

Never understood it.

You know, we get hate like that.

And I'm just like, that's why we say like happy people don't do shit like that.

Like these are people who are unhappy in their own life.

Like this is different between complaining with your friends at a bar or anything like that and then like taking a microphone.

Yeah, or to reach out to someone and be like,

you know, you suck.

It's just such an ugly thing.

Especially, but when you're talking about guys who are, there's only,

I don't know, a couple hundred on the planet who are good enough to play in this league.

Right.

Who are you to tell them

how they should be playing, though?

I agree.

It doesn't

register.

Sports guys, though, man.

Like, a lot of them are like that, right?

Those Monday morning quarterbacks.

Yeah, and I know I've been guilty of it in like talking to with

in private, though.

Like, like, oh, that

quarterback does not fucking deserve to be in the NAFL right now.

I think, even if, like, you were on a TV show, like, like one of those sports talk shows, and you were talking about how much they suck, like, to me, that's fair game, too.

Like,

you're not attacking them personally.

Like, you're talking about that performance.

To go online and be like, you fucking suck.

Like, I'm going to punch you or whatever the fucking thing.

You're just like, what is wrong with you?

Like, why are people

so mean?

You know, I don't get it.

I mean, I, you know,

they say it's an expression, like, to release.

They're doing it to release some sort of

release.

Someone's on the other side of that, though.

And, like, if you're making them feel fucking like bad, like, why do you want to do that to another human?

I don't, I don't know.

But then there's also the other side of the argument that's like, okay, you're getting $100 million.

You have to be able to take this too.

You have to be able to take the criticism.

And that's why

I could dox those assholes that emailed me.

Right.

But I won't because it's illegal.

It's illegal?

Shit, doxing is illegal.

Really?

I see it happening constantly on the podcasts I watch.

That's all they want to do is dox each other.

Like as if finding, like, you know, the guy with the Cardiff, the guy with the potato filter that I told you about a while ago.

Like, he's on one of the podcasts that I watch.

And he doesn't, it's not him.

It's a potato filter.

He just, you know, that's his thing.

And there's they're trying to find his real identity.

One stuttering John was trying to find his identity, and he's like, I know where he works, and I know his name.

He hasn't released it yet or revealed it yet.

But the guy, I know the guy, and he's just like, I don't care.

I don't care if he doesn't know.

He does care, though, if he has that filter up, though.

Yeah, I think he thought it was funny.

Like, it would be funny at first, and then he just went with it.

But

me personally, though, I do subscribe to

this is part of the deal, though.

If I'm going to put stuff out there,

I have to be able to accept that there's going to be some people who are going to write

and say stuff that

I perceive as mean or crossing the line.

And I just got, you know, that's why it's all, it's part of the business, though.

I don't know.

There's something,

there's something about someone being like, Tell him Steve Dave sucks.

I don't like that podcast.

Fine.

To me, like, okay.

But like to reach out to you and be like, you deserve a punch, that's where you're like.

No,

I think that comes with it's, yeah, like, I have to accept that.

And if I don't accept it, I certainly am not upset by it.

I thought it was funny.

Like that guy that was

not like to the store to get you, right?

Remember that guy that he was going to come down to the store and get you a power ring?

He was going to kill you or something.

Yeah, that was because of a bad eBay transaction, though.

That shit's dangerous, though.

That's real.

People on eBay are fucking nuts.

I'm not worried about a TSD listener.

Speaking of eBay, it looks like the storage unit went out of business and didn't inform us and just sold it off.

Wow.

You should have sued everybody.

You really should.

I mean, what am I going to sue for?

Yeah, they don't have any shit that was just sitting there for years.

Anyway, that's funny.

But they don't notify people.

They don't notify.

Do they do it to everyone?

I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure they did, but like, you know, it wouldn't have gone to me, it would have gone to.

My sister or something like that.

Yeah, I don't know.

Holy cow.

Yeah, but I think, though,

it's tough for the players to come out and kind of admit that.

And if they do admit it,

some see it as a sign of weakness.

And we'll go after even harder.

Yeah, and some see it as like an indication of it's a different world now where this is factoring into the pressures of a professional athlete or professional podcaster.

But I like, yeah, I

don't think, though, that you should ever admit that it bothered you, though.

You know, I guess I am saying it bummed me out a little bit to see when people are like,

they think I'm so stupid, I don't know how to put my, my dick and my wife's fucking...

Well, you've proved them wrong already.

Yeah.

You know, I don't know where to put it.

They think I'm that stupid.

That's a bit, that's a bummer that they think I'm that dumb.

But at the end of the day, that is the that's part of the gear the job.

Well, what if

what if Giddam's job was to

go through the emails and and take out the ones that are me?

No, no, I need to hear, I need to hear it all.

I need to see it all.

Because sometimes

not always are they

100% in the wrong.

There are times, though, that there's some valid criticism.

Who cares if they're right?

Who gives a shit?

The fuck does that matter?

Like, if it's making you feel bad, why deal with it?

Because it makes you

re-evaluate, okay, well, let me see.

Was this bad?

Was this not a good segment?

Did I tell this story before?

Oh, I did.

Okay.

I won't do that again.

Yeah, but coming from a fan of the show who loves the show and is like, I don't even know why they would write that email in a nice way.

That's different.

But a guy that's like, you deserve a punch.

Well, am I too arrogant?

Am I too judgmental?

You already are, man.

That's why I said you already are.

You already are.

It's like you're a fucking podcast from a strip mall.

Who gives a shit if you're too fucking arrogant?

There's a certain number of people listening, and it's not spreading to CNN.

It's not spreading to any major news sources.

It's not a TMZ.

I am not a guy that believes in the, you know, the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

All right, okay.

You know, I don't want to cover my ears, I want to cover my eyes.

Right.

I want to see it all.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

I think you're opening yourself up to a lot of opinions that don't matter in that way.

I know.

Because of what social media is.

I know, but right now, though, my state of mind, like getting a bad email was

like Superman being, you know,

throwing a rock at Superman.

It didn't matter.

I just had that shit child.

Right.

This fucking idiot's fucking email

was laughable in terms of what, you know, how happy I was and everything.

Yeah.

So maybe that email comes on a different day.

Maybe I would have been a bit more

angrier to take action, but

I know where that guy, though, is I know where he is.

Yeah, I know where he is.

It's not toxic.

Why not?

I don't know.

Like, I don't know.

You're just going to keep escalating it and escalating it.

And then, like, what if he lives?

You can file a complaint with the police.

Like, really take it to the next level.

No, I'm not going to do that.

I believe that it's just part of the job description.

And

I can deal with it.

My big boy pants fit.

Nice.

Fair enough.

Me and Giddam, right?

Because Giddam, you were in that email, too.

He was calling him a dick sucker.

Really?

That he'll say anything to anybody who shows him any love.

He argues with this all the time.

I know.

That's why I was like,

there was one that said the only reason I keep Giddam around is because I'm such a loser.

It makes me feel better about myself.

How are you a loser?

It doesn't, though.

No, I take no joy in the fact that

you don't ever move up

in your life.

There's no part of me that is like revels in the fact that he's living in a

office.

There's no part of me that's happy about that.

In fact, you'd rather it not be that way.

There is no, I mean, there's been times.

I tried.

I tried to show him places.

I went and showed him listings.

I said, let's take a look at this.

And then when you see

he's not really, it's too big of a move at this moment.

Then I back off then.

And I haven't done that since.

But there's no part of me that like keeps getting around so that I feel better about myself.

Sure.

But

if that person wants to believe it, I mean, that's, I looked him up.

He's on Patreon.

It's fine.

He can say it.

I don't care.

Fair enough.

Sorry, Ticksucker.

He can say what he wants to say.

Now, if I look you up and I'll see an email and I look up and see if it's on Patreon that's not, well, maybe.

Maybe some doxing may happen.

I don't know.

Your information might get out there, so I don't think we should dox anybody.

I don't even think we should mention.

Really?

I think that we should not.

You don't like to see pull the curtain back for people to see what it's like to be a professional podcaster.

What's the point?

But it's not all fucking like

parties and

there's a single party going on here.

Not here, but you know, there are some podcasters that I do think are living like rock stars.

That's not us, though.

It's not us, though.

And I think people don't believe it.

I think they think we are living like rock stars.

I think if you give attention,

I don't even think we should mention Reddit ever again on the show.

I'd like to institute a ban.

Really?

A ban on Reddit.

I think you stop giving it.

All right, let's take a vote.

All right, that's my vote.

I don't, I, again, I'm no, I'm not a see no evil, hear no evil, but don't take it personally.

I don't think we should, but go ahead.

I don't think we should either because otherwise.

Well, I'm surprised at that.

So you take it the worst on your.

I do.

Oh, I believe it.

Yeah, I believe it.

That Teflon coding is long, long gone.

Long gone.

But

that's stand-up, though.

Oh, thanks.

Give him that one.

I want to get one of Brian Johnson with that vote right there.

I'm not.

He voted against me.

You can't take it personally, though.

Well, I haven't gone on Reddit in a year.

Like, I don't go on.

So it doesn't affect me at all.

It doesn't really affect me at all either.

I know that people say shitty stuff, but I'm like, I never see it.

And it doesn't really affect me.

I don't care what they say.

I don't care what they feel.

But those who do say bad shit about you should, if you're listening right now, reflect that that man

still believes in

the freedom of speech in America.

Yeah, you should be able to say it.

Well, nobody's saying that they can't say it.

I'm just saying, why are you giving them oxygen on this show?

Okay, all right.

It's pretty infrequent, I'd say.

Like, we never bring up anything specific.

It's always just like Reddit hate.

Yeah, but I think like, in a way, even talking about the hate feeds the hate.

You know?

But I was on such a high for so many years, though.

Like, no bad negative comments.

now to see all these start to pile up.

You live long enough to become the villain, bro.

That's what happened.

What did I do wrong?

I was like, Was it all that Canada fucking joke?

Could it be that, or are they just looking for a chance?

Like, okay, everybody's worked up these days, man.

He's wounded, he's a wounded animal.

Get him.

Yeah, let's go after him now on every aspect, on every front.

They don't know who they're dealing with, though.

These fucking rats

biting at me.

Nipping at you.

Kick one off, another one, fucking two of them fucking attack from the other side.

Velociraptors.

The trailer from the Jurassic Park?

I did not.

Did you see Thunderball?

Like, I don't want to take, but I saw Thunderbolt.

Okay, go ahead with Jurassic Park.

No, you were a big Jurassic Park guy.

Light Jurassic Park did the last few movies I don't love.

Okay.

The trailer looked good.

It looks like they're back on an island getting chased by dinosaurs in new situations.

Is that not what happened in the last couple?

No, they got out and they were fucking cloning humans.

They were running around.

It was all like this international conspiracy.

This is like, hey, guys, there's an island.

Remember Remember the island?

Like, oh, we're stuck on the island, guys.

And oh, it's a T-Rex.

Now the T-Rex is underwater.

And I'm like, oh, that's fucking cool.

It's enough for me to see a swimming T-Rex try and bite someone underwater.

I'm like, they got my money.

Now,

you've heard the rumor, not the rumor, but you've heard the data come out since Jurassic Park has been released that dinosaurs don't really look

like the Jurassic Park dinosaurs, that they look more like birds and they have feathers.

Sure.

Yeah.

Should Jurassic Park be scientific accurate

and create dinosaurs that don't look as ferocious as T-Rex and look more like a big fat dodo bird?

No.

Why?

Because they're trying to entertain, man.

It's supposed to instill a sense of fear in you.

Plus, they say in the movie that they're not strictly dinosaurs, that they plug in frog DNA and stuff.

So there's early reason that's why they get away with like, oh, well, you don't have to be accurate.

Good enough for BQ.

Good enough for BQ.

They got Scarlett Johannison running around with a fucking gun looking hot shooting dinosaurs.

What do you want?

Accuracy.

Isn't it irresponsible?

They're dead.

Isn't it irresponsible of the makers of that film to

keep the fallacy that dinosaurs look like this when they look nothing like this?

Well, we don't know that they don't look like that.

Well, there's data that

shows it's high probability that they looked

far different.

There's no way to turn.

And they may have been just as dangerous.

What?

So if he has feathers, it's not as dangerous for you.

But we don't know that they have feathers.

It doesn't look like Liberace chasing you.

That is scary.

Watch that movie.

They clone Liberace with a

feather bulla with nothing else on.

No, man.

Boober.

I thought the trail looked good.

I don't know.

It gave me hope.

That'll have a good time at the movie.

Yeah, I think that those are Jurassic Park movies.

It's hard to to not hit the bullseye, it feels like when guys like you, all you want is dinosaurs on an island chasing and killing people.

Yeah, but the last two, like the three that Chris Pratt did, the first one, what Jurassic World, I thought was good.

Yeah, dinosaurs on an island chasing people.

Second two movies, second one I watched, I was like, What the fuck's all this shit?

Like, where they're selling dinosaurs to rich people.

I'm like, Great, another fucking lesson about how rich people are evil.

Great, that's more fun.

That's what shit's too close to home.

You was trying to buy a dinosaur recently.

Oh, I'm not buying buying a dinosaur, Rich.

And I'm like, but I'm trying to watch Jurassic Park, man.

Like, I like about the Huber.

And then the third one, I didn't even finish.

That's what you were doing in England.

You're like, you're sitting around kicking rocks going, I'm not even rich enough to buy you.

Yeah, I'm not going to buy a dinosaur.

Watching you.

Feathered dinosaur.

Feathered dinosaur.

Teaching me a lesson.

They do seem less threatening if you took a Tyrannosaurus rex and put feathers on them.

Yes.

Or a Stegosaurus and you put feathers on them.

Lots Lots of raptors that had feathers, I think, right?

I think they had

the ones with feathers.

I don't know that T-Rexes did.

Well, you're saying that they've never even.

I remember you said that.

Well, I don't even know.

Like, there's bronosauruses.

There's a large population who doesn't believe they could have possibly existed because there's no heart that could have pumped blood to that brain.

Maybe they had two hearts.

I'm holding up that neck.

Yeah.

Long neck.

What about giraffes?

Yeah, they're not.

Not as big as a bronosaurus.

They're built differently.

Yeah, they're more like straight up, whereas like the bronosaurus had a bend in it almost.

According to Spielberg, we don't know.

Yeah, that's true.

That's true.

That's what I'm talking about, though.

Should he be held to a standard, though, that

Hollywood has to be held to a certain standard.

If anything, if Hollywood's listening, less realism.

I would like a lot less realism in my movies, please.

Like, I've had enough.

Less realism, no lessons.

Oh, that's what you're looking for.

Jesus Christ.

Well, Bat Thunderbolts, there was no lesson.

Yes, there was.

There was a lesson.

Well, here's the thing about the lessons in Thunderbolt, right?

It's like it's a universal lesson.

It's about

everything we all have in common.

And these are, it's not specific little nits and like, man, let me teach about this, this, and this.

It's about, you know, humanity.

Thunderbolt, it was fine.

I liked it.

Like, it was fine.

Like, I didn't love it, but I was like, it's fine.

It's fucking fun.

Well, it was about being

allowing people to help you and letting people in.

And not feeling alone when you're dealing with, I guess,

dark issues.

It's pretty ballsy that the main bad guy of the movie is defeated with a group hug.

I was like, that's pretty cool.

I was like, that's balls out, man.

If they're willing to do that happen, I'm like, I'll go with it.

Yeah, this is getting Fafo reviews.

It is one of the best Marvel movies ever.

It's fun.

It did.

Does it have BQ stamp of one of the best Marvel movies ever?

No, I wouldn't say it's one of the best.

Yeah, I agree with that.

It is fun.

I sat there.

I had a good time.

But the hype machine was really hyped up, and I was like, wow, this is going to be, I'm really expecting something.

I think people watched Marvels and were like, Jesus Christ, fucking give us anything.

And they were like, Here you go.

How about a bunch of people that don't get along?

No, I thought it was good.

And let me tell you, I really like came around on

US Agent.

Me too.

I was like, I want to see a U.S.

Agent movie.

Yeah, he's really good.

He's the best character in the movie.

He's the best character in the movie.

And he's like, so he was like, Did you watch the Winter Soul, the show he was in?

Yeah.

He was Captain America for like two minutes and he was just too violent.

Well, he beheaded somebody.

Yeah, but he's a soldier.

But he got caught beheading someone with his shield.

So they stripped him and like now he's kind of adrift.

He's the U.S.

agent, right?

U.S.

agent.

Did they ever call him that?

I don't know if they ever called him that, but he, you know, real fall from grace, lost his wife, lost his kid.

Everybody hates him.

But he's a.

He wants to do right.

But he's also the...

He's an alpha.

Yes.

And they weren't afraid to show an alpha in this movie for once.

Well, everybody made fun of him every two seconds.

That's why.

Right, but that's why you and I like him, though.

Regardless of the fucking,

but I also like the

audience.

And I was like, I want to see him redeem himself.

Yes.

Like, I want to see him turn this around and become,

dare I say, Captain America again?

It would be awesome.

Like, that's a character arc I love.

I don't think Disney's taking

it from Sam Wilson for UQ.

Well, I haven't seen that yet.

That's coming on.

I'm going to watch that in the next couple movies.

Yeah, it's going to be awesome.

You haven't seen New Dawn or whatever it's called, New World?

No, I haven't seen it yet.

It's like I said, it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad.

It was just kind of milquetoast and kind of middle of the road.

I kept hearing.

Yeah, there's nothing in it that makes you

wows you, or you're like, whoa, I haven't seen that before.

It's just kind of like

it's a head scratcher because the plot

is from another movie that

you should probably watch before you watch this movie.

The Hulk one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that's a real head scratcher why they tied it so closely to a movie that's over 15 years old, if not more.

It's like the movie that got released wasn't the movie they originally intended to make, right?

They had a whole version of it, and then they're like, this fucking sucks.

We got to chop it up and redo it.

Disney's been doing that a lot,

going back and chopping it to pieces to try to make it.

Yeah.

What else did they do then, huh?

Daredevil season two.

Daredevil.

Or Born Again.

I never got past the third episode with that.

You didn't finish it?

I didn't finish it.

Oh, you should finish it.

Yeah.

Yeah, they get it, like I said, they course correct.

Okay.

And they make Daredevil violent.

Oh, he gets back to it.

And he's back to beating A.

I heard like one episode, it's like a comedy in a bank, and you're like, what is going on?

Yeah, there is, but it's kind of like

it has nothing to do with the overall story.

It's a standalone episode that nothing moves forward in this storyline.

Which could be fun if done right.

It is.

And I think it is kind of like a dist,

it just shows he gets to show off as Matt Murdock all his all his powers.

Right.

And he's kind of like

showing off how cool it is to be have these powers and what you can do and how you can get out of things without even putting a comment.

That sounds fun.

It is.

I mean, I know I'm going to watch it.

I just haven't.

And the Punishers.

I'm sure you'll like The Punishers

return.

Oh, he comes back after that one scene?

Oh, okay.

Well, I fucking love The Punishers.

So that's so efficient.

You'll like it, I think.

I think you'll appreciate, though, that they saw the errors

in what they had direction they were going, and they're like, we can't go in this direction.

And they decided to go a different way.

And they kind of cleaned it up and set the stage for the next season.

Did you think with Thunderbolts, like,

it was a little...

Wasn't it like...

The Russian guy, how great was Hopper or whatever?

You know, James Harvey.

He was great.

He was awesome.

Weren't there like, it was him was a Captain America takeoff.

John Walker was a Captain America takeoff.

And Bucky was a Captain America.

I'm like, wow, there are basically three versions of Captain America in this.

That was pretty interesting.

Did you wish there was another character on the team rather than the characters they chose?

Because that ghost character, I didn't even remember.

I liked her movie, though.

I liked her movie, but I was like, I don't remember this character.

I saw it with my daughter, and I was like, she's like, who are these people?

And I'm like, I don't even remember some of these people.

Second Ant-Man movie, right?

And you're the guy to go to.

But you know what?

These movies come out years ago.

And I think that Disney has a high expectation

of

memory.

They expect you to remember a lot of these characters and their nuances and their motivations.

And I'm like,

I don't remember.

It was so long ago that it was an Ant-Man, right?

A second Ant-Man movie, yeah.

How long ago was that?

I mean, the third one came out four years ago at this point.

But I liked her character.

I thought they did a good job with her and stuff like that.

I liked it.

I would have thought, though, that maybe Shang-Chi may have been more

high-profile.

I think they're trying to save Shang-Chi for another swing.

Yeah.

I saw Stranger Things on Broadway.

Oh,

was I right?

Fuck, that was cool.

When the battleship, the Philadelphia experiment, dude, they pull off shit on stage that's like pretty fucking cool.

Yeah.

Like, yeah, like a battleship, just the lights go off and they come on and they're in like the under, like the battleships on the, it's like nuts.

Yeah, what they're doing with practical effects, it has to be applauded.

Yeah.

And I mean, practical effects that's not on camera.

Right.

Just for an audience, it's, it's impressive.

I mean, the lights go off for a second, and when it comes on, there's a battleship on the stage.

Like, it's pretty nuts.

And then that thing comes out over the audience.

Yeah.

Like that fucking

monster.

The thing comes out and it just looks over the audience.

And like, it feels like.

How good was the kid who played Vecna?

Vecna was great.

How about that kid, though?

I mean, that's the first thing he's ever done.

He's going to win an award.

He's great.

I mean, I don't know how every night this kid's playing the guy who's turning into like Vecna, and physically, he's throwing his body all over.

Every time he gets possessed, I'm like, I throw my neck

every night.

I thought the character.

Could you be his understudy?

We're like

a character in that show.

I got on the sky.

If you shave.

I'm not even talking about age.

I'm just talking about it.

It is a fucking physical play.

But I was not prepared for how much of a comedy it is.

Like, all the stuff with the kids in high school with the play, like, there's a lot of humor in this show.

Hopper and Joyce and Bob Newby as a character as a kid.

Oh, Bob is?

And

I thought they all fucking nailed it.

The kid who played Joyce, she was awesome, man.

Like, she did like a Winona Ryder.

Yeah.

You know, a Winona Ryder impersonation type of thing.

I am ashamed to admit, though, that I didn't realize that was Hopper and her until the end when she was out of here.

I didn't realize it until the end.

How's that possible?

I think I was just, my jaw was on the fucking floor so often that I was in an

easy so much more enjoyable knowing that you were watching them.

I thought, I was like, oh, how cool that they're playing the characters of Junior.

I had no idea that that was Hopper and Renona Wire.

But when it hit me,

it was like a religious experience.

Well, that's how I felt the whole time.

It was so good.

It was really good.

It was really good.

And, you know, I would say go see it if you got a chance, bro.

Yeah.

I'd go see the show.

Oh, yeah.

I'd go see it.

It is so impressive.

Yeah, it's really good.

No songs.

You said no songs.

I love how they intro, like I said, how they take

the formula of like how 80 songs were so important to the...

to the show, the Netflix show.

50 songs were so important

to this play.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, they kind of incorporated that formula of like songs are important.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

I didn't even know.

See, I didn't notice that.

Yeah, we'll go back again with you, buddy.

We'll go again.

And the guy, my buddy, that I went with, he was,

there's so much smoke effects in this show, like the theater team was just smoking weed the whole time.

Every time the smoke came out, he pulled out his vapor.

I was like, that is bald.

I don't want to do that.

Yeah, that's like dangerous, right?

You can go on a bad trip and you're seeing all that weird shit, and then you're smoking your hoopa, or your hula.

What's it called?

he brought a hoopa with him

you could go he could have a fucking bad trip he wasn't having a bad trip

he was enjoying himself um but i yeah i really like that i thought they did a great job yeah pop culture has been good lately getting getting back to good jurassic parks looking all right yeah i mean uh superman looks okay i'm a little worried about it but yeah you're not worried i think it's gonna be good what don't you like that trailer What don't you like?

I don't know if I like Lois, and I don't know if I

really have to

fall in love with this guy because I haven't fallen in love with this Superman yet.

I really haven't yet.

He hasn't won me over just on the trailers, which I thought he did kind of where he was like, eyes up here, like that one shot where he got to be personable and

he sold it for me.

I was like, oh, maybe if that's the sort of Superman he's doing.

And when he was arguing with Lois in the trailer, I don't know.

I liked him.

I'm worried that there's too many characters again.

I'm worried that there's too many superheroes that they're going to have to introduce, and it's going to take away from his first movie.

Depends.

I have concerns.

It's the guy who made Guardians of the Galaxy work.

So it's like, if anybody can make a group work,

I'm with that guy.

And Mission Impossible, you excited for that?

You know, I still haven't seen the last one.

Oh, you should not admit that, I'm Mike.

I should.

Actually,

he said the same thing to me.

He's like, you didn't see the fucking last one?

I was like, no.

That's crazy.

What are you doing?

What are you doing that you can't fucking give Tom?

It took three hours.

Put on my fish nets.

I'm going to watch it.

I'm going to watch it because.

I do want to see it, though.

I'm pretty excited.

I'm excited for it, too.

I think it's probably the last one.

Yeah, you think so?

I think so.

I don't know if he's

on the other side of being an Ethan Hunt.

He's starting to look older, which you've never seen with him before.

Which is understandable.

He is not a young man.

So, I mean, it's not taking a shot at him.

I have the utmost respect for Tom Cruise and what he does and all the fucking daredevil shit he does.

But

you know, maybe it's time for a younger guy to fill the Ethan Hunt role.

I don't know.

I saw him on, I might have said this already, but I saw him on a little clip and he was on a motorcycle with a parachute.

Yeah, that was from the last movie.

Is that from before?

No.

Oh, God.

That's not

a 2008 now, right?

Yeah, I was going to say, it has to be 4.

I thought this was the fifth one that was coming out.

This is the seventh one.

I'm going to get hate emails.

Both of you guys.

Oh, my God.

Take the heat off me, thank God.

You two posers are

on the pod.

But I saw like the behind-the-scenes footage.

He did it.

And not only did he do it, like 12 times.

Yeah, he was like the first time he was like, it's not good enough.

He's like, I think I should let go of the motorcycle a little sooner.

And then, yeah, he does it like fucking five more times.

Nuts.

Yeah, this is why it's hard to convince him that he's not powered by an alien and living in a volcano.

I would think so.

This is why you can't talk to the man.

You can't tell him he's not because he's able to do all this shit.

Yeah, he's like, well, give me some reasons.

I'll get back to you.

What are you seeing that I'm not seeing?

Yeah, man.

Tom Cruise, he really want everybody back, right?

There were a few years where he was like a bit of a punchline.

What was that?

Well, it was that.

Yeah, it was the whole thing about the anti-depression with all the post-Charlotte stuff.

He learned to keep his mouth shut about that and just keep making movies.

And people are like, Tom Cruise, the last movie you saw.

You live and you learn.

He read those emails.

He read those emails.

And he fucking internalized them.

You're right.

Yeah, now, see, if he hadn't read them, he might just keep on going.

He may still be jumping around like a fucking Gibbon on couches and shit when he's doing interviews, going off topic big time.

It's funny, like that couch, Giddam's got it up right now, him jumping on the couch.

That could have easily, in public opinion, gone the other way.

People could have been like, oh, wow, man, he's really fucking excited.

How cool is that?

He's a human.

He's showing his, you know what I mean?

Like, you could have whatever.

Well, he just wants to show off the fucking, he's got the ability to, from a sitting position, jump, which is not easy to do.

It looks like it's easy.

It looks like it's effortlessly.

Go ahead, get him.

Show us how you jump from a sitting position into your chair right now.

Because you've got the same shirt on as Tom Cruise right now.

It looks like

you're dressed the same.

It is Corny.

Which well known, was it Rosie or Ellen who used to constantly pretend?

I think it was Rosie O'Donnell, who used to constantly pretend you had a crush on Tom Cruise.

Oh, Rosie O'Donnell.

It was Rosie O'Donnell, right?

Why is she pretending, though?

Well, how come you, how how do you know she was?

She's a dyed-in-the-wool lesbian, man.

I mean, was this before she came out?

Uh, it might have been.

So, she was trying, she was trying to play the role.

You can't get a you can't get a crush on a dude, no, no, like a non-sexual one, yeah, like a non-sexual crush, you can't do that.

Oh, a non-sexual one, oh, yeah, funny, right?

But Reacher's my current one, there you go.

So, you know,

you wouldn't say Reacher's a cutie-patootie?

Wow, that's a nice call.

That's a very nice call.

I had a question for you guys regarding

the Patreon.

I have a dilemma.

Not a dilemma.

I have a decision to make.

So I'm going to

did this thing where

I

created this.

I was envisioning a full month.

of Jimmy the Hair Guy-centric programming.

Okay.

Four straight weeks.

and it was Jimmy the Hair Guy's.

What are you going on vacation or something?

No, we're all in them, but it's called alternate hair story.

Okay.

And he

becomes the star of shows that are already on Patreon.

Instead of the all-new Sunday Jeff show, it's the all-new Jimmy the Hair Guy show.

Instead of it's all about Frank, it's all about Jimmy.

And he just, so it's a fake alternate history, hair story.

I thought that was clever, though.

Nice.

I copyright that too.

Get on that.

Get that website.

Should I, though, in your opinion, do four straight weeks or should I stagger them once a month for four months?

Is four weeks in a row too much, Jimmy?

This is a business decision.

I was curious.

Because if somebody's not into Jimmy and they're like four weeks of this, it's real easy to cancel.

Okay.

Yeah.

So once a month for four straight months.

I think so.

Probably.

What do you think?

Yeah, I agree with that.

I agree with that sentiment.

Yeah, I think I mean they get tired of us in every episode.

So like is Jimmy drawing a bath right now getting a sharp razor?

Are you hearing this?

He might be.

Well, no.

I mean,

he's still on.

He's still on.

Yeah, he's still doing the content.

He's still doing the content.

It's just, yeah, it's not a Jimmy month.

But you guys are like basically saying that you fear the subscriptions will be Jimmy Overload.

It's not really about Jimmy.

It's just about people's tastes in general.

If that's not their taste, you don't want to give any reason to be.

But I could do four straight weeks of Sunday Jeff material.

Come on, man.

That's Sunday Jeff.

That's like

proven that's a tier.

That's.

All right.

There's a difference.

Okay.

There's a different tier.

I don't think I can do four weeks in a row.

Oh, fuck you.

All people want is I buy comics.

Oh, really?

Yeah, all they want is like,

I would sign up to the highest tier if they could do ibuy comics once a month.

Oh, wow.

I'm still waiting on Fool Killer.

I have all my material ready.

Have you read it?

He can't see Mission Impossible.

Oh, that's true.

You think he's going to read 10 issues of Fool Killer?

No,

I've read Foolkill in the past.

I'll reread it.

And we got the Punisher one to do, too.

I mean, I think we should stick to, if we're going to do ivy comics, just single issues.

It's a lot easier.

Just read one issue and then we should do an extra.

Or characters.

Or characters.

Yeah, you don't have to even do like...

Yeah.

Make it easier for BQ, not harder.

Right.

Well, I read that.

I mean, I still read comics every week.

I know, but then you're making it harder on me and probably because we got to read that book.

That crap you're reading.

This is why you get angry emails.

Is that why?

Trash and chicken.

I just lost all my possessions in a fucking.

Well, you didn't create it.

You're just buying it.

Kiddo owns more of your stuff now than you do.

My precious memories.

Yeah.

Okay, so Stagger, the Jimmy the Hair guy.

Stagger.

All right.

Yeah.

Good to know.

That's what I'll do.

So I'll start it in June,

the first episode of

Alternate Hair Story.

Hair Story.

Got that website?

Sounds good.

Alternate History?

Okay, good.

Walt Flanagan's alternate history.

Got that one, too.

I wanted to thank Frank very quickly.

Five?

Frank Five, yes, he drove, he took his DeLorean all the way down from New York,

trailered it in the rain, the pouring rain, down to

my place and brought Sage to the prom in it.

Get out of here.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

I thought it was like really above and beyond.

Should we take away that?

This is supposed to be Lindsay Dixon's.

I think she has until the end of the year.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Every episode was dedicated to her because she gave a kidney to Chuck's mom.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

And we said that in perp per perpetuity, that all the episodes going forward will be dedicated to her.

This year?

Yeah.

But I mean, Frank Five, DeLorean, Raymond.

Rain, though.

I mean, Starny Skies, I'd be like, no.

Right.

But he was on the ground unchaining

the car.

Wow.

And he's like, he's got a white shirt on.

It's all muddy and shit.

Got to give him the episode.

Yeah.

She only gets one week.

Well, she got next week.

I wasn't involved in any of that.

Nobody asked me.

Well, you were in England.

Yeah, yeah.

You know,

we called you.

You didn't answer.

Yeah, we tried to call you, but it went right to voicemail.

We were going to ask you,

should we do four straight weeks at Jimmy?

And should we dedicate every episode going forward to Lindsay for donating the kidney?

I mean, it's pretty big donating.

I can't imagine you would have been like, nah.

Not in the moment, but now

we're moved to it.

Wait, so the woman that gave the kidney wasn't an aunt.

Yeah, she was.

Oh, yeah.

Hardcore 13.

I think she's in her.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

We got to give it to her then.

Yeah.

We did.

We already did this.

Wait, she just, but I mean, this episode, we can't give it away.

We can't give it to Frank.

All right.

All right.

So an aunt heard about Chuck's mother and gave her kidney to a complete.

No, she used to date Chuck, and then they broke up and they became really good friends.

Oh, is this this girl he used to bring around?

When we first met Chuck, he was dating that girl.

I don't remember.

Not the one with the blonde hair.

Yeah, there she is.

That's Lindsay right there.

Oh, how sweet of her.

And it's funny, Mary Beth brought it up.

She goes, you know, everybody asks how Lindsay's doing.

Nobody asks how Chuck's mom's doing.

Oh, I asked.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, we asked.

Oh, man, that's amazing.

I mean, Jesus, man, that's it's crazy, isn't it?

What more is there than that?

You're giving up parts of your body to your friend's mother.

Now,

each of their significant others, that's tough, right?

Because how do you top that if you're the significant other?

Like, your former girlfriend saved your mother's life, right?

This is just the elephant in the room.

I know Truck probably doesn't want me saying this, but this is all that's all I'm thinking about.

Because your ex is literally a part of your mom, yes, yeah, shares DNA now, dude.

I would have to set up some like fucking fake kidnappings and like save the day.

Like false flag shit to try to make myself look great.

To make myself get like get on the same level as her now.

That's true.

Hire some shady guys

to come down to Hazlet and do a carjacking where I just show up and I beat their asses.

I don't know what you were doing.

Well, no, but I mean, but like, obviously the punches are like, it doesn't even look like I connect it so bad.

It's like Batman or Robin 66 shit.

I mean,

I would be happy with you.

But yeah,

how do you kind of.

It's just something about that person.

I don't know.

Like, does it

play a factor?

Like, is it, does it jumble around in your head?

If you're the new person.

If you're Chuck's new girl.

Yeah.

It would be.

I mean, it's like.

Like, if I was dating a girl

and while I was dating her, her ex

stood up and gave a kidney to her mom, I might be like, hmm.

I don't know.

I don't want to have to top this.

How soon after this can I break up with her?

Is there anybody...

There are people you would give a kidney to, obviously, I think, right?

Oh, of course.

Like, you know, if my mom needed a kidney, if my sister needed a kidney.

Not your ex's mom, you wouldn't.

I have to be honest, that would be a very tough sell to be like tell my wife that, yeah, like I'm giving a kidney to a former lover.

Oh, yeah, to their mom.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But that is like, that's why she deserves every kudos, every fucking, every.

Yeah.

That's an

hero.

Yeah, like I told Brian, like, we do a fucking couple of fucking benefit pods.

We think we're fucking, we think we're special.

We think we're good people but that's that is nothing should i put my cape away yeah you should it was absolutely gross that you continue to wear it this many weeks later i know i just i'm not around lindsey so i figured you know

but that is some

insane like respect and just

you

It's beyond words, like how, how

what a human being would do, you know, for another human being.

Like, I would be like Larry David and Kirby's enthusiasm, just praying that my blood type didn't match or something was going wrong.

Like,

he was supposed to give a kidney to Richard Lewis, and he fucking pussy down the screen.

He wouldn't do it.

And that way, like,

will Chuck be upset?

I hope he's not upset.

We're saying this.

He's not making his life hell at home, hopefully.

I mean, what did he do?

Really?

I mean, what's up?

Well, I don't know if it's

in her head.

Is his girlfriend an IJ listener or a TSD listener?

She was TSD.

Oh, she might listen to this this then.

Oh, she's probably going to listen to this.

Probably sitting in the car next to him right now listening to you.

You have nothing to prove, right?

Reassure her, Q.

I will say this.

We've known Chuck many years now, and I've never seen him this happy.

He is fucking

deep in love with this girl.

He won't stop talking about her.

I'm very, very happy.

She moved to Staten Island now with Chuck, and I think it's

it's a real love story.

Get any of those thoughts out of your head if you even had them.

I don't think there's someone love.

I don't think those thoughts even came up.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

We shouldn't even, I shouldn't have even brought it up.

It is funny, though.

It would be nice, or it'd be funny if Natalie was like, no,

just like put her foot down.

That's an ex Chuck.

Keep looking

for a kidney.

Charles.

Charles.

I got one more thing.

If you got time, Q.

Yeah, I got time.

My only plan was today was to go to the storage unit and clear it out.

No,

I haven't thought about that thing in fucking.

Oh, man.

I'm bummed.

I wish that we hadn't brought it up.

But you would have.

I'm totally fine.

I don't care at all.

All right.

Your eyes portrayed that, though.

You look like you were kind of

going on.

You know, I'm like, well, what would happen?

So you signed that stuff, right?

Yeah, you got it.

You got it.

New York's distinct accent, the one that brought us Joe Pesci's defensive funny how and Fran Drescher's thick oh Mr.

Sheffield is rubbing a lot of Americans the wrong way.

Really?

Nearly 60% of Americans say they find the New York accent annoying,

according to a news survey by Podcastle, an AI voice platform.

And it's not just outsiders that feel that way.

45% of New Yorkers agree that their own accent is grading.

Now, do you find Q's accent anything?

Endearing.

I think so, too.

Yeah.

I totally agree.

Like, I like his accent.

In fact, I like the whole status.

If he got rid of it,

it wouldn't be as fun to do this podcast.

Like, if all of a sudden he spoke like Hugh Gran or something.

Coming back from England.

Yeah, it says only 10% of Americans say they trust someone with a New York accent.

In contrast, folks with a southern draw were deemed 256% more trustworthy and 232% more appealing than New Yorkers.

Now, I don't know what these percentages mean,

but

yeah, it seems a lot of people don't like your accent, Q

people in general don't like my accent with just the New York accent?

The New York, yeah, not yours particularly, but yeah, the New York accent.

But they're talking like Staten Island, Queens.

Bronx, you know, it's like they're all kind of a little different, right?

They're a little different here and there, yeah, but it's, you know, a general thing.

But, you know,

what are you going to do?

They don't trust me.

Some of the...

See, I disagree with this.

Some of the features that have been traditionally associated with New York City English are diminishing.

What's being lost is the final R.

You get in the car and you go to the bar.

It's now car and bar.

See, I've always thought you guys added R's to stuff.

We add R's to things that don't need them and take it off from the things that have them.

Okay.

Yeah.

Car and bar.

Like elevator.

Elevator.

Lobster.

Red lobster.

Red lobster.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't even know I'm doing it.

It's funny because like people in England, they're like, wow, that fucking accent's thick.

And I'm like, I don't even know what you're talking about.

Still, some say the sound of New York is the sound of home.

These are New Yorkers.

None of us as New Yorkers really want to sound like we're from somewhere else.

Yeah, New Yorkers are particularly proud of being from New York.

A lot of them.

Fucking greatest place.

Why wouldn't we?

Yeah, I mean, you got a lot of stuff there, that's for sure.

A lot of people.

I think you tend to gloss over the bad, though.

Traffic.

That's traffic in Jersey.

Not like New York.

Yeah, Staten Island traffics.

Even today, you come in here.

You were like, yeah.

Look, I don't live.

It's great.

I'm not sticking up with the traffic, but I mean the

New York City.

New York City crime.

Crazy.

Because you have 9 million people living around each other.

Yeah, you don't really hear about random punchings or people getting set on fire in the New Jersey suburbs.

Yeah, or fucking dead people on the fucking subway.

I'm sure.

Well, that guy who did it wasn't a New Yorker.

Was he from Jersey?

No, he's from like fucking.

Wasn't he here illegal?

Yeah, I think he was here illegally.

Oh, you're going to say that if he lives in New York, he's not a New Yorker?

No, of course not.

You can't just show up in New York and be like, I'm a New Yorker.

Now let me rape that corpse.

That's not how it goes.

That's a new rap song.

Yeah, you know, it's like, you know, you got to earn it a little bit.

Yeah, you can't, like even Key West, you can't go down there and be like, i'm a conk just because i moved here of course not well how long does he have to live in new york before he becomes a new yorker in your eyes 20 years

10 isn't you're not from a new yorker i'm not interested in you ten years

okay yeah 20 years 20 years is the limit i don't know

you don't have a real opinion on it

yeah but you guys you got you got a crime problem though if you don't if you don't want okay at least you admit it okay well you know there's nine nine million people on a little island.

You know, there's going to be problems.

But it'll be all right.

It'll all be all right.

But you got people doing crimes here in Airport Plaza, not paying their rent and shit like that, fraud.

Those are soft crimes.

Those are, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, your crimes are all right.

That's not getting punched for no reason.

Like poor Jiggy walking down the street gets popped in the breast.

Do you think, again, that that shit doesn't happen in Jersey?

I don't know.

Not where we live.

Yeah, I mean, if this doesn't happen where I live either.

Yeah, if this email writer to Walt comes shows up, though, we may have some punches in New Jersey.

I don't like it.

Yeah.

I don't like it.

Well, that's why I've got a 24-hour security as long as I'm here at the Airport Plaza.

Somebody who will step in and take that punch.

Right.

I'll wrestle with that guy.

Got his hide-ine stains all over him.

All right.

Yeah, that's it.

That's it.

That is it.

Sure.

Nothing on the horizon, Q?

Anything fun?

Next?

Memorial Day nothing.

I'm at that Big Slick charity next year.

Grace Slick?

In Big Slick.

It's a charity in Kansas City

that they do every year.

That's fucking awesome.

So I'm going to that next weekend.

I'll be there.

So I think they're selling tickets to it.

So if you're in Kansas City, want to support a good cause, Big Slick.

I think it's the.

Big Slick is the shit.

Yeah.

That's what like Paul Rudd's there, or Jason Sudecas is there, Eric Stone Street, like all these guys from Kansas City throw this huge party there every year.

Wow.

I'll be appearing at my house.

Yeah, it's great.

Going nowhere.

Yeah, we're going to go to the hospital and visit sick kids.

Like go to the.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you get there.

It's really great.

Like, you go to the hospital in the morning and you do the visits to the room.

I mean, you know,

when an Avenger walks in, those kids' eyes fucking light up, man.

You know, he sees people because some people...

Yeah, some people I'd be like, I wouldn't know who it was.

Sure, you know, pretty much.

I mean, Rob Ragel.

Yeah, him I know, of course.

Cactor Rudd, Paul Rudd.

Yeah.

Who is the lady?

Can you back it up, get him?

I don't know who she is.

Wayna, go back up again.

Oh,
