#620: Q Runs a Train

I think there are people now who are like, we won't get them.

Yeah, and one of them's sitting right here.

man and then plowing a girl?

Hey, it's me, Q from IJ.

Hey, what's up?

A lot of people have been talking bad about drones.

Let's rap about drones, everybody.

I hate this little guy.

He's got air.

He can't hurt anybody.

Tell him, Steve, Dave.

Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Tellum Steve Dave with Walt.

Yo.

And with Q.

Hello.

The last episode of 2024, boys.

Christ Almighty.

I thought it was last week, but it's actually this week.

That's all right.

This is nice.

Nice to be here.

Yeah, all three of us.

Yeah.

And then we take our customary two weeks off.

Four if you can't get him over there?

Yeah.

Do we count get him?

I do.

Like maybe as a half-person,

half-man.

I'm surprised he's being pretty good about not putting a mic near him.

I'm actually starting to miss him.

He's playing this game correctly.

He really is.

Yeah.

You think there are people now who are like, we won't get him.

Yeah.

And one of them is sitting right here.

He's punishing people.

Yeah, that's him.

You fucking get what you asked for, people.

That's what you got.

Happy birthday to Edgar today.

Oh, wow.

How old is his birthday today?

We're recording this on Thursday the 19th.

Let's see, 46,

78, right?

78.

Yeah, 78.

He's the same age as my dad.

Wow.

Yep.

Wow.

He started young?

Real young, yeah.

How old is he when you were born?

I think he was like 22.

Oof.

50 other B, 56.

Oh, my God.

It sounds like insane.

Yeah.

There are times when I think back to my childhood and there's a certain level of forgiveness now because I think about like, if I was 22, if I was 32 and had a kid,

I still would have not been

responsible enough.

I think that's very fair of you and nice of you to do.

I've had that evaluation with like flaws I've thought my parents had Where I'm like, what the fuck?

My mother was 19 when she got married.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

I'm alive.

You know, like, I'm so grateful for them.

So, yeah.

It is.

Like, you figure you had real young parents, plus, you grew up in the 70s into the 80s.

It was

not like it was, like it is now.

It was like childhood in the thunderdome.

It was great.

I loved it.

How about you, Walt?

You all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

All right.

What do you got going on for Christmas this year?

Anything fun going on?

Yeah, just got

everybody getting together, everybody in the family getting together for over the course of two days, the eve and the day.

That's about it.

That's it?

Yep.

It'd be nice to see everybody, right?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I can't wait, right?

Nice, yeah.

And I'm going to, I've got a project I'm going to start.

I'm going to rearrange my bookshelves

in our two-week break.

Very nice.

That's a fucking, that's a major project.

I've seen your bookshelves.

That looks like a massive project.

I'm looking forward to it.

I've got to put all the shit that I don't read on the very tippy top shelf.

Right.

Because

I never want to get a chair and get it up there and get it.

Yeah.

So,

I got to deem what's worthy to be on the bottom shelf and what's worthy to be on.

And it's almost the opposite.

Top shelf is the shit I don't care about.

Yeah.

See the Superman trailer?

I did.

What do you think?

Looks good.

Oh, yeah.

I thought it looked great.

It does look good.

I mean, they're playing off, they're playing off.

They're playing the hits.

Playing the crypto card, man.

And that's going to work with a lot of people.

Worked with me.

It worked with me, too.

I saw the trick.

I was like, I want to see that.

Yeah, it's funny.

Like, do you think that it took someone, because crypto, if you read comics, he's been there the whole time.

Beloved, accepted.

I know it sounds goofy, like that super, it has a super-powered dog.

It doesn't, though, when you think about it.

It doesn't to me, but I'm just interested to see if a rocket can make it to Earth.

Yeah.

Using a dog first.

Oh, you think that that's what they'll go?

Like, how do you, I'm curious how they're going to say say crypto got to Earth.

Oh, that, how can you top that?

I mean, because it's perfect science.

Yeah.

Like, that's you send a rocket with a dog to see if the dog will make it.

Yeah.

And then you put your firstborn on the rocket once you see that it succeeded.

Once the dog makes it, it's like, it's like the Russian sending the monkey up, right?

Yeah.

The monkey does that right.

Well, there was people that were super monkey, right?

Too?

Like, is that.

Yeah, I don't know if he's as

I don't know if he's made it into the every continuity.

Did he make it into 52?

No.

Let alone into reverse.

Streaky.

It was streaky?

Streaky was the cat.

Yeah.

And Comet was the worst.

But that was all based on the super success of crypto, though.

They wouldn't have did any of those if crypto didn't hit.

Yeah.

I was going to say, how many super pets can he have?

Well, I think Comet...

Didn't Comet...

Supergirl, right?

Yeah, but didn't Comet turn out to be a shape-shifting man that was sleeping with Supergirl in the Peter David fucking supergirl.

Really?

No, she was a shape-shifter in the Peter David.

Wasn't Comet as well?

That I don't remember.

I mean, I'm sure you're right.

A horse shifting into a man and then plowing a girl.

But she wasn't a girl.

She was a she was like protoplasm.

Yeah.

Supergirl wasn't.

Yeah, Linda Davener's or whatever.

And

but man, when crypto like, because it's risky, man.

You don't know if he's going to show, you know what I mean?

People are going to be like, what's this?

A fucking dog with a cape?

But I don't see how when you see that snow blading and he's making his way towards him.

Oh, I got so happy.

Did you think that it looked a little weird, though,

The footage of the city, I guess, the day before they released a teaser.

And boy, did it look like CW.

The colors, the look of it.

It was like, I guess a shot of people in Metropolis looking up.

Yeah.

And it didn't, I don't know, it doesn't have that scope that I thought it would have.

It doesn't look, it looks like CW.

On the trailer, you feel?

Not the trailer, but the teaser the day before.

Yeah, I mean, we're all watching the teasers on our phones and shit.

You know, I don't want to judge too hard.

But I thought the trailer looked great.

What's the monster?

It looks like a dinosaur or something.

I don't know what the fuck that was.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I couldn't figure out what it was.

Yeah, I guess somebody.

Kryptonian Dragon, maybe?

Maybe, or whatever became Doomsday eventually.

I don't know.

But Guy Gardner looked fucking that haircut.

Holy shit.

Is Doomsday in this?

No, no.

Oh, okay.

You said Kryptonian Dragon.

It's the first thing I think of.

Guy Gardner's haircut.

Amazing.

Amazing that they kept that.

Can't wait no negative feelings no no zero negative feeling really actually

it put my face it's the first thing i saw when i woke up this morning put me in a really good mood and then did you see brian the uh a trailer a teaser for return the living dead coming back i did not oh yeah really that got me fucking excited it's uh it's um takes place in 1985

so it's only two years after the first one and it's a tree the teaser is just like the cemetery with the those gates right and tar man just dragging a Christmas tree through the cemetery.

So it's just a teaser in the finest sense.

But man, it got me excited, too.

I'm like, oh, fuck, Tar Man's back.

That's all.

Do you know who's behind it?

I do not.

I didn't even know they were making it until I saw the teaser yesterday.

Yeah, there it is.

Okay, Return of Living Dead 2025.

Yeah, I got no, I don't know who's making it or anything like that, but I thought that they put out a pre.

For teasers, pretty good.

I wonder if they're going a Christmas movie.

I think so because he's dragging the tree.

I'm seeing snow.

But they got the movements of tarman right and everything like that.

That herky jerky walk.

Right.

So I don't know.

It's a pretty good week for BQ in terms of movies to look forward to.

Yeah, there he is, dragging.

And it's a lit Christmas tree, too.

Well, they explained that.

Oh, do they?

Well, he there's an extension cord you're about to see.

Yeah.

Okay.

But

man, both of these got me super excited about

feeling my childhood coming back

in a little way.

Yeah, how many iterations of Superman are there now?

I mean, not including old TV shows.

Just the movies?

Just movies.

This is the fourth.

This will be the fourth.

Fourth different one.

Yeah, movie-wise.

Fourth different actor since George Reeves?

Well, he said don't count TV.

Right, but

since George Reeves and Christopher, and you have Brandon Ruth.

Brandon Routh.

And then what's the guy

Henry Cavill, who I liked as Superman?

And then this guy.

So there's only been four.

Yeah.

Do you think there's an actor that's like, damn, that's the role.

I'm fucking Superman.

I don't know.

Or is it like, oh, fuck, he has the next 10 years of my life?

I don't know.

You know what I mean?

I hope that anybody that takes the role feels like.

Well, is there a Superman curse?

Do you believe in it?

I don't, because why, Brandon Routh is still alive, doing fine.

Still alive, but is he working the same

clip that you had thought a Superman would work?

No, he's not.

Right.

And Henry Cavill can't buy a hit, can he?

Well, he just signed a deal with Amazon to do that Warhammer TV show.

TV.

TV money.

I know.

Believe me,

I know all about TV money.

I killed for TV money.

But he's getting Henry Cavill TV money, not.

You're true.

That's true.

Yeah, not true TV TV money or AMC Midnight money.

DC Legends Legends of Tomorrow, it looked like he was in?

He played Superman in that.

Yeah, he was in 76.

Oh,

you're not going to count the

Smallville guy as a Superman?

Well, he said

he met movies, yeah.

Because I thought Tyler, who just wrapped up Superman Lois, I thought he was a great Superman.

That was a TV show?

Yeah,

that was a CW show.

I thought he was a really, really good Superman.

He put the costume on.

He put the costume on, and

he played Clark as a bumbling.

He went bumbling, kind of sweet, sweet dad.

How do you think this guy will do?

What are you hoping for?

You're hoping for some combination of all four?

Bumbling.

I need bumbling.

Inept.

I need some bumbling ineptness.

But I'm going to imagine that she already knows he's Superman and stuff like that.

Like, he's not doing an origin story, which is fine.

You know what I mean?

Like, I'd rather see the origin of crypto than see the origin of Superman again.

You say you need bumbling.

You don't have enough bumbling in your day-to-day life.

Like I said, I don't.

super.

I don't need to see it on the screen.

Yeah, but I want Clark Kent to be a bumbling.

Well, I feel I'm surrounded by it, so why do I need to see it

when I go to the movies to escape the bumbling and the ineptness?

Yeah, but it's a bumbling that hides supreme skill.

Maybe that's what they're saying.

Maybe they haven't revealed it yet.

The bumbling you're dealing with is surface.

You scratch it, there's still bumbling underneath.

There's no S shirt.

Even more horrific horrific bumbling.

Levels of bumbling.

I assume you talk about get him.

Sure.

Super get him.

Get him.

I don't think you're a bumbler.

Either you're a bumbler?

He says yes.

Okay.

Self-admitted bumbler?

All right.

Got some feedback on the

Rupert

episode.

Oh, okay.

Seems that the consensus is Rupert's students are retarded.

Retarded is the word that came out.

They don't know what's cool.

Yeah.

Why are we even listening to them?

Who's saying that, though?

Probably people our age.

Yeah,

there you go.

There you go.

Yeah, man.

Were there any particular standout people were?

No, not really.

Oh, they like the practical jokers, so I think these kids are A.O.,

I like the practical jokers.

I like sweat.

They're pretty gifted and talented, I thought,

when they said that, right?

Yeah.

Like, initially, I thought they were sweat hogs, but when I heard that they thought IJ was cool, I was like, oh, well,

I got to take that back.

This is the gifted and talented portion of the school.

I think so.

Yeah.

I think Ruben's doing a great job guiding these children into the future.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What else do I get?

Have you guys noticed?

Has there been an uptick in people calling you gay?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

If I think about it, yes.

Isn't it?

It's come back.

It's come back so crazy that I'm like, I feel like I'm 19 again, where like half my life is being called gay.

Right.

You know what I mean?

I get a number of texts that are like, you're gay.

Yeah.

And, you know, surprising, like,

I got a text with one of the drones, and then, you know, like you have to zoom in, and it's that black guy with the giant cock sitting in the drone, like that kind of stuff.

And you're gay.

Yeah, and you're gay.

Yeah.

I got to tell you, man, it's making me feel young again.

Like being able to move the movie gay so much.

Yeah.

of gayness.

Yeah.

It seems like everybody's having a gay old time.

Yeah.

How's it going up here at the office?

Walt, a lot of

chatter.

You haven't been here?

No.

Oh, you've been in a whole.

Oh, because you've been doing Patreon stuff.

No,

I probably, I'm going to be taking,

I'm not going to be at the office as much in 2025.

Yeah.

I'm going to only come in on as a need basis.

So when me and Q are like, walk out here.

Get a bonus listen.

No, no, that's not for any reason.

I'm just going to, yeah, I haven't been here, so I don't know how it's been going.

You'd have to ask the man who's here, the man who never leaves.

Yeah.

How's it been going?

Pretty good, he says.

Well, how could it not be?

Yeah, he's riding his balls.

Oh, I'm surprised.

Riding his balls.

Do you think I ride his balls?

Maybe sometimes.

I wouldn't rule it out.

I wouldn't be like, Walt, ride his balls?

Well, it is.

Unheard of.

Ask him, do I ride your balls?

No.

How can I ride his balls?

I don't ask him to do anything.

Oh, see, I was under the impression that you were asking him to do a lot of stuff when he was here.

I gave up.

Oh, really?

I gave up asking because it doesn't get done, so I don't ask anymore.

Huh.

That's what we're facing.

Yeah.

I know he's doing great.

Yeah.

I think he's already picked up.

How so?

That came in.

It's a little cleaner in here.

I notice he's straightening up a little bit more.

So, Matt.

I got to tell you, I did want to.

I got the TS Diopoly game.

Yes.

What a great job you did, buddy.

Like,

it's fucking awesome.

I'm going to frame it.

Like, I'm getting my board framed.

Oh, okay.

So you're framing the box.

No, no.

I'm putting

the figures and I'm going to stick them to the board and I'm going to get it framed.

Because you did a great job, man.

You kind of do the history of TESD as you go along.

It was just really well done.

Oh, thank you.

He did help with that, but

it took a long time to get it done.

That was not an easy project.

I knew it would be, that's why I didn't want to do it.

Yeah, because I was like, this is going to fucking take forever to get all there's too many moving parts on a monopoly board, sure, there's too many things to address, right?

And that's why I was like, fuck, I don't feel like doing it.

But finally, I was like, all right, I'll do it.

I paid off, man.

I think it's

they are shipping now to the 40 and up tier.

And

if you haven't gotten yours, that means probably you're due in January or February.

So sit tight.

No need to worth the wait.

No need to like

no need to get worry because if you haven't gotten it yet, I was sending out 40s today, so

it most likely means you're due in the next month or in February.

Worth the wait.

Well worth the wait.

Yeah, I mean, it's a full-on monopoly game.

Yeah.

It's okay.

There's no.

Yeah.

There is no cutting corners.

Yeah, I was really impressed, man.

So thank you for doing that and giving me something to hang on my wall.

We have

Q and I, as you know, Walt, Q and I did a Space Monkeys last week, and we answer people's problems.

And it was somebody who had a problem that we didn't get to address.

And maybe better that Walt's here for this, because it's an aunt who wants to go to the Q West Comedy Festival.

But his fiancée.

is saying that they have to save for a wedding.

No go.

What's he to do?

I mean,

if it wasn't selling as well as it's selling,

I'd be like, tell her that you're a man at stand up.

But given that there's only a few tickets left, I would say,

you know,

maybe next year, buddy.

Next year, huh?

Yeah.

You're not even going to encourage him to fight back on this.

Well, she's probably right.

I think she's probably right.

She's probably right.

I want you there,

and it would be great, whoever you are, to have you there.

I'll put it this way: it's going to kill him.

Really?

Yeah.

Then come.

He could sell off his hair.

I don't want to say who it is.

Oh, we know him personally?

Yeah, he could sell off some hair.

Jimmy the hair guy?

I'm not saying that.

Jimmy the hair guy is not allowed to go?

He's not allowed to go.

Yeah.

Oh, that's rough.

Oh, he just got engaged, and he's already getting told what to do.

Yeah.

Oof, that's rough.

That's rough.

Somebody needs to step in, though, and tell him

what his priorities are because he doesn't know.

He really doesn't know.

He needs a wife, right?

He needs someone to manage him because if not, he would.

He'd be a QS.

He'd be having a blast.

Yeah.

Well, it's Jimmy the Hair guy.

I mean, what is she upset about?

Is it the price of that?

I don't think she's upset.

I think it's just overall the expense of going.

Because they go everywhere.

They go everywhere.

And this is the thing he can't do?

Yep, this is it.

You look at their Instagram and they are everywhere getting signed stuff and taking pictures of people and going to cons.

I'm going to have to talk to him offline about this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How come?

Well, how come you have to do it offline?

Because if it comes down to, like, all right, don't worry, just come down, bud.

Like, don't worry about buying a ticket or something like that.

Or is she going to stay in?

Or are you not staying with me?

I was going to say, because I heard the hotel rooms are absolutely outrageous at Key West.

I found tickets for, I found the room for $300 a night

at some places.

So I don't know what.

A lot of places.

You think

there'll be any rooms to be had?

When there's at least data?

200 people?

200 and change people?

Yeah, Key West can handle that.

No problem.

There's tons of hotels down there.

Okay.

I was here at $1,000 a night.

Get out of here.

I mean, there are certainly higher-end hotels that charge that, but there's also probably like two bedrooms in there.

You could split it with some.

There's some shit like that.

There's some low-rent

hotels out on Key West.

It's actually mostly low-rent hotels, but there are no, there's like...

Yeah, there aren't a lot of

chains there.

Yeah.

In New Town, there's some chains, but in Old Town, there really aren't.

Yeah, there's plenty.

I mean, there's a double tree that's like 300 bucks a night.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Hey, maybe she's right.

Maybe he can't go then.

Well, you got to figure the flights, the housing, the food.

It's not cheap.

Even if you give him a ticket, yeah, it's not cheap.

Yeah, it's not cheap for sure.

But, hey, man.

What you didn't do?

What do you want me to do?

Not throw throw it?

I mean, it's like there's nothing I can do about that.

Don't come if you don't, if you think it's too expensive.

I totally am on board, but I, you know, the more the merrier.

What else we got here?

Oh, people accusing me of being a Karen.

I said that on my birthday, Walt, I didn't really do much.

Went out to breakfast, then went home, kind of hung around watching Cop Cam videos and Karen compilations and stuff like that.

And somebody said that I was like an OG Karen.

You are an OG.

Saying that I am, yeah.

Which I disagree with.

Well, you know.

They cited me going after Sonic.

You have a history of battling with incompetent storekeeps.

Yeah, incompetent storekeeps.

So, you know, maybe they're, maybe that's what they're referring to.

Could be.

Could be.

But I feel like if you, like, the shit that I watch with these Karens, it's like they're so...

Off the mark in terms of being right about something.

Like, if I go into a store and something's wrong, you know, I go into a fast food place and something's wrong.

Or like I'm at a restaurant and something's wrong, I don't get infuriated.

I don't know.

Then I'll flip out.

Did you write like a death note and hand it to someone one time or am I making that happen?

No, I think that might be.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

Oh, no, no.

It wasn't a death note.

But it was a note at Fridays.

Yeah.

Because it's like, and in that situation, it's like it was a whole bunch of us.

We went in.

It was like maybe eight people, ten people.

We go in and there's no service and the food's taking forever.

And the manager comes out and starts yelling at us, acting like, because we're like, what's the deal?

And he's like, well, I sent my cook home.

And I was like, well, how the fuck is that our food?

Yeah, what has that got to do with me?

Yeah, just tell us then.

If you told us that you sent the cook home and now you're going to attempt to cook for eight to ten people by yourself, you probably wouldn't have stayed.

Of course.

So that's not a Karen situation.

But you want a situation.

That's not a Karen situation.

Sonic, fucking up my order.

Every, like, almost every single time.

Yeah.

And that was the one day where I really flipped out, got mad, and kicked the door.

That was when it was snowing.

It was like a blizzard out.

Went out the food.

Went all the way up to the bottom.

You get the Karen pass depending on the weather.

If the weather's bad.

No,

this is well into my dealings with Sonic.

I won't even blame the weather, but it made it extra annoying to have to drive all the way fucking back, get the right stuff, because I'm talking like nothing's right.

Yeah, I understand.

How many times did this happen where nothing was right?

I would say

at this point,

when I got mad and kicked the door.

How many times?

Maybe 10.

Okay, and you wouldn't think this before you drive home to check it before you leave?

Uh, no, that's my fault.

You're right, yeah.

But then when I get home and I'm like, God fucking damn it, like I'm mad at myself,

but I'm madder at them.

Why don't you punch yourself in the face and rather than go kick that defenseless door?

Fuck, it's over and over.

I'm defenseless.

I'm too tough to beat myself up.

You kidding me?

I don't want to start with myself.

Defenseless door.

Oh, I was so fucking mad.

But that was also pre-medication.

I haven't gotten mad in a long time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's true, too.

Credit where credit's due, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So.

You've been chill.

I feel like maybe I've been in some Karen-type situations, but to say I'm a Karen on it, I don't think that's accurate.

I don't think it's accurate either.

No, I'm very polite to people.

And who's going to argue with us about it?

Yeah, who?

You get him?

You haven't got a mic.

Are you going to fucking start arguing about this now?

How's that water bottle working out for you?

Water bottle's working out all right.

Yeah.

Yeah, I did tell Genem, though, I missed my goal goal yesterday.

Because

I got to drink four of these things.

It's a lot.

We'll attest to it.

Yeah, it's a lot.

Now, does that AI, does it start nagging you when you don't, is it like...

It'll send me a message on my phone.

It's like time to hydrate, that kind of thing.

But at the end, if I don't, if I didn't, I made like 83% of the water that I was supposed to drink, it didn't like chastise me or put me down.

I think that's what you need.

I think you need like negative

personalities you could load onto it.

And one of them is just like a real caustic, fucking bittered motherfucker.

Like, just like, yo, dick, head, you're going to drink this water?

Yeah, you know why you're so fat, right?

Wait, what does that have to do with water?

You're fatty.

You want to drink some water?

I was going to say, how would the water consumption help with the weight?

It would have, but they just put me down regardless.

Yeah.

It's like, you're gay.

Drink water.

Yeah, the 2024 version of the water bottle.

I had a doctor tell me just eat, like, if you don't feel you can drink that much water, eat some crackers during the day.

And you'll, you'll be.

Oh, and then you'll be thirsty.

And you'll damn straighten your water.

I was like, how the fuck is that going to hydrate me?

But yeah, that makes sense.

Eat some crackers.

I told her the same thing.

I was like, I can't drink as much water as you're telling me to do.

This is an impossible task.

And she goes, it's not impossible.

She said, start eating crackers.

Like, I don't like crackers.

I said.

And she's like,

you're just making excuses.

I was like, no, it's true.

I don't like crackers.

I haven't had a cracker since I was five.

I said.

Right.

And

you have to, whenever you go to the hospital, you must be case of the week every time.

No, I think there's crackheads and shit that fucking put me to shame in terms of like

their arms are cut off and shit or something really out there other than this guy just is having crackers.

I don't like crackers.

I don't think they like call them, call the journal.

We got a new case.

This is scholarly this shit.

Yeah, but that's what they said.

Eat crackers, and that will solve your

not wanting to drink water because you'll be like, man, I'm fucking parched from

all that cracker consumption.

I'm eating a sleeve of crackers a day now to keep up with my water consumption.

Yeah, probably.

I would think maybe one or two crackers.

I can't imagine you can, if you eat two crackers, that you don't need to flush it down with something.

Yeah.

Most people, I don't think, can eat

two without having to have something to wash it down with.

Don't do a Cheez-Its or something like that.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, you gotta do like a regular old saltine.

That's fucking cracker, bro.

Maybe even unsalted.

Oh.

Gross.

Terrible.

All right, I'll give it a try.

Have you heard about these women who are getting tattoos of the CEO killer?

No, I haven't.

That is

pretty wacky.

That's very fast and very wacky.

Because you hear about women, especially, who will get tattoos of serial killers,

you know, that type of thing.

But to

get a tattoo of a murderer, and they get the denied,

the

whatever he wrote on the bullets.

Delay, depose.

Delay, depose, deny, depose.

Now, do you think it has to do with him because he was so handsome?

Because I didn't see any gals getting that schlub that fucking took a shot at Trump.

I don't see anybody getting a tattoo of him.

Thomas Crook?

How many tattoos did I see of Thomas Crook?

Walt, I was thinking the same.

I didn't see any pics with his shirt off.

Well, he didn't succeed.

That's true, too.

Not only is he ugly, he's a loser.

I've actually, I think you're right.

If he had hit this target, I think there'd be a hell of a lot worse.

You would see tattoos.

You would see tattoos of that guy.

Mutant-looking dude.

Yeah.

I was in Manhattan yesterday, and people were writing on chalk on the sidewalk, and it was like, what's the guy's name?

Luigi.

Luigi.

Mangion.

One would be like, it would say Free Luigi.

And then

a line for you to put a mark on it.

And a lot of people were like, more people were like, Free Luigi.

And then there was another one that was just drawn in chalk on the sidewalk.

And it was like, and it tally marks.

And somebody wrote, Was he justified?

And that was a little bit more balanced, but I was still a little bit like, there's a lot of people just saying that this guy's justified, shooting a man in the back.

Shooting him in the back because, well, I guess it's weird.

Like the Luigi guy, it seems that his family was into nursing homes.

So I guess that could be

that could be a motive.

Oh, there it is.

Yeah.

And we just found it.

He had some back problems that I guess he was denied care for.

It really,

I was convinced that it was some sort of professional hitman at first.

But boy, did that come crumbling down when

you find out it was just some Karenette fucking, sorry, probably

McDonald's

fucking called on him.

Right?

I mean, all because he had to fucking go in and get a fucking Big Mac.

He couldn't fucking

make sure he didn't keep his hoodie up and his mask on or put some sunglasses on.

Anything.

Anything.

Anything to hide his identity.

All he had to do is hide his eyes.

That was the only thing anybody knew when his eyes looked like.

That was basically it.

Yeah, he had

holy shit, the telltale eyebrows.

Like, look at that.

Now, that's a guy that got the tattoo.

It's huge.

It's fucking crazy.

It takes up his whole thigh, and this is not a small dude.

That's nuts.

But women have, there are, there are women who are prone to falling for bad boys and men in prison, though.

Right.

Oh, yeah.

And wanting to rehabilitate them and fix them.

There's a television.

The ultimate fix.

Yeah.

But that's not what this is.

They're celebrating.

I think there's some women who definitely would want to marry him, though.

No, I know that, but they're not.

But I don't think that they're.

I think they're celebrating like not rehab him.

Yeah, some of them.

They're saying, like, this is a motherfucker who took a stand and stuff like that, which is like...

you know, I don't know if shooting a guy in the back is the fucking way to go.

But yeah, that's pretty crazy.

Yeah, they're huge.

It takes up this lady's whole calf.

What is that?

That's a fucking meaty calf.

What does this girl look like?

Yeah.

Yeah, what's underneath it?

It looks like a Mario Brothers thing.

Might have been the original Luigi.

Yeah, what a crazy thing.

Yeah, and now there's the debate.

Like, people, there are people who are like, you know, well, good, fuck him.

And then there are other people that are like, it's not going to change anything, which is true.

It's not going to, the only thing it's going to change is CEOs will have more security now, probably.

And the whole thing that made me, I was like, this is like something out of a comic book story or a movie was like, remember that they found the backpack and it had Monopoly money in it?

And I was just like,

fuck man, I lost one of it if it had TSD monopoly money in it.

But then I realized, I was like, it can't be because I haven't shipped any out yet.

He's on the $100 level.

But the Monopoly Money thing

just screamed

like

somebody

who's got all his bases covered.

You don't do that kind of shit unless you're like, you ain't catching me.

And I'm just going to make this a game and have you

try to figure it out.

You know, I'm going to be the next

zodiac or something.

And

you're never going to catch me.

And then fucking two days later, shit.

Fuck,

I ordered fucking a big Mac and Fries, and now I got caught.

And then I heard that that McDonald's worker may not even get the money.

It was like a $60,000 reward.

And that's why.

Did you read that?

And that goes right back to why people are shooting people.

You do anything to fuck them out of their money.

Anything to fuck them out of the money.

And that's why people get so fucking frustrated with the system.

Like, you can't fucking put out there that there's a reward and then pull it out from under people.

But there'll be some other person, though, that falls for it, though, and is like

the reward, they do anything in their power not to give you out that reward if you look back at times.

Yeah.

They're looking for any small detail to deny you the reward money.

Yeah, there are like three reasons

in this article I read that they weren't going to, like, it's like leading to the arrest and conviction of,

and then there was something else where it was, there was some other caveat.

I can't remember what the other one was, but it was, yeah, it looked like, oh, like it could take up to five to seven years to get the money and all this other shit.

I heard the person can lose their job though because McDonald's isn't supposed to be

turning people in for that kind of shit.

I mean if you're the if you're McDonald's how are you like well you broke a rule.

Yeah.

That's privacy.

You caught a murderer.

Like why are you getting fired?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Did you guys talk about drones yet?

We talked a little bit about it, but we wanted to wait for you.

Really?

Because I got some drone.

I got some weird footage from my house last night.

I do not have footage, but Mary Beth said that whenever she takes Norm out, like, because he goes out at like four in the morning, she's like, there's drones up there.

All right, there's so many people saying this that at this point, I think it's got to be,

it's just got to be people with drones sending them up to look for the drones.

This is from my driveway.

Does this end with me being gay?

Because that's.

I superimposed the Photoshop, the cock in your mouth.

I could have just sent you that.

Right.

That's from my driveway at 7.30 last night.

Those are pretty high up, no?

Very high up.

See, they're planes?

Oh, whoa.

That's not a plane.

That last maneuver is the one that's like, oh, it's not even halfway over.

Where they suddenly sit down.

It's a minute video.

Yeah.

I could have sat there even longer, but I was like, you know, I had shit to do.

It's pretty nuts, like, the way that they just quickly accelerate into a circle.

huh well i saw that yesterday joe biden the biden administration finally said okay there's drones i mean there's definitely something that everyone has known for a week i mean that's did you see that something that the uh no i haven't seen it the uh something that the nsa has uh denied

it said it they went out of their way

went out of their way to say it was mass hysteria

i mean there's definitely an element i think of of like a mass thing going on because I do think that causes people to get their drones in the air and then someone else sees that drone and they're like it's the drone right you know

yeah but they were that was the other thing they were saying it's like it's hobbyists and um oh my god i think it's i think those little

spotlights yeah i was seeing this last night too up uh but why are there so many spotlights up what are they looking for

yep that's the exact same thing i was seeing last night in the clouds wow

Wild though, because it's not something you normally see when you step outside.

No, not at all.

This was my point to Brian, isn't it a bummer that like even 10 years ago, that would have been aliens?

You know what I mean?

Like, everybody would have been like, there's aliens in the sky, and it would have been a cooler story.

Now it's like, there's drones.

Like, we can now explain the lights in the sky.

Oh, okay.

You know?

So you think you're totally writing off drones.

I mean, as aliens, as the culprit here, I mean, I would like 100% Q is on board.

It is not aliens.

I think it's some fucking dude in his yard with a DGI like mapping.

Oh, it's not just.

Did you see what they look like?

They look like little helicopters.

Yeah.

This isn't one dude.

Yeah.

No, no, no.

I am not discounting that there are mysterious drones that we don't know what they are, but I think a lot of what people are seeing now are people sending up their drones.

To look for them.

But what the fuck do I know?

I don't know anything.

Did you see the mysterious floating orb too, Walt?

Yeah.

I heard that was Venus, though.

Just Venus?

I heard that was the plan.

Like, that was explained away already.

It says it's hard to tell what this is because of quality, but it could be a planet, a star, or even the engine of an aircraft.

As with many of the sightings, it's difficult to tell because of the quality of the video.

Did you see the orb, Kia?

I did not see an orb.

Yeah,

that's the orb.

And it's very like when you see the video of it, that's just a still shot.

So when you see the video of it, it's like shimmery and it looks like it's spinning.

Yeah, but I heard that

it's a planet, though, like that it's just magnified super hot, like high magnified

that it's a planet.

So they're saying it could be a planet.

A lot of people are saying like some of them are planes.

The triangle of lights in the sky, they're saying it's a commercial aircraft.

If you see a triangle.

Well, you've got to figure that Newark airport traffic goes right over your bolter guys' houses.

Newark, LaGuardia, NJFK.

Yeah.

There's a lot of traffic there.

Now, you've seen the footage of

the most common drone that people are pointing to.

It has red and green lights.

You've seen it, right?

I've seen that, yeah.

That looks exactly a few years ago on TSD.

I talked about it, that I saw those things flying above my house years ago.

And I wonder if they've just been up there for God knows how long.

And now all of a sudden people have just been like, hey.

What's going on?

Yeah.

But I recall seeing the same exact thing

a long time ago when my kids were little.

Before there were even drones going on?

Before anybody called it drones.

I remember I talked about it on TSD, and I had Declan

get the footage off my phone.

So do you feel that there's a chance it's aliens?

No.

No.

Not at all.

I think it's the government and they're

doing something.

And I mean, we've heard reports of conspiracy theories that there's nuclear...

I know one of my neighbors went out and bought a Geiger counter.

Really?

And I was like, oh my God, why am I in this conversation?

That's like a good move.

But

who knows if you may need it, though.

You may need it, but I do think if there's a fucking

radioactive situation, it's not going to be my fucking goofy neighbor picking it up first with the snowball.

How much does a Geiger counter cost?

I think they're like, I'm sure he got whatever Amazon's selling

this week.

And what do you do with it?

Like,

you open it up.

What's the first thing you do?

I don't know.

If the needle goes instantly to

radiation, I don't know what you do.

I don't know.

Well, you were the first one, Walt, that I heard propose that theory.

That they're looking for a dirty bomb

smuggled into

a port in New Jersey.

Yeah, I heard that early on.

I didn't make it up.

I just read it online that somebody said that there was a dirty bomb that got through, and now they're trying to find it.

And,

you know, those drones could detect it through rooftops.

There's nowhere you could hide from it if you have it in your possession.

It's got so much radiation on it, I guess.

Right.

Well, then I read that there's a whole bunch of townships now that are like, you can't fly drones in our airspace anymore.

I didn't hear that.

I don't know how they passed that that quick, though, because

poor hobby enthusiasts now cannot.

I have a drone.

My drone's like fucking 10 years old at this point.

I wonder if it's still flowing.

Why haven't you taken your drone out and tried to take down a drone?

Because that's what I think everybody else is doing.

So it's like, I would just be adding to the problem.

But if you were, I know maybe you haven't seen one yet, but if you see one,

you should charge up your drone at the ready so you can get it up there to knock the other one down.

It's this big.

What's it going to knock down?

You don't think it has things to fall?

And I think the pilot doesn't know what he's fucking doing either.

I think it might be the dog and the pilot rather than

the drone either.

It's like you don't want to fucking get, you don't have to.

I don't disagree.

It's cold out there, man.

I'm outside looking trying to take down.

And by the way, if it is the government looking for fucking nuclear, nuclear explosions, like trying to prevent shit, and I'm up there being like, not on my watch.

I do bring it down.

And then there's a dirty bomb on Staten Island.

And I'm like, that could have been found if I wasn't dicking around.

All right.

I'm good.

Impractical Joker Dooms thousands.

Impractical douchebag.

It's just a picture of me holding a drone thing.

There are people who have tattoos of me out there.

They would start crossing them off and shit like that.

I disagree.

I think that's the only way we're going to find out the truth is by some citizen getting one.

And, you know,

then

getting it out there to the hobbyists and the people who know, who know anything, and then they can fucking figure out, once you have one in your possession, that you can take apart and figure out, you know, if it's alien or not.

Well, let me ask you something.

What is, let's say I did that and I brought down one of these mysterious drones.

Like, and we now know what, like, I drag it in here, Geddam looks at it.

He knows where it is.

I did not think that you would, first person you bring it to would be Geddam.

You got a genius on hand.

What are you going to do?

But like, what what is the answer that you go, oh, that was a waste of time.

Like, what is the shrug?

Where it's like, if they were just like, yeah, it was just a weather.

They were just, it was just like the weather service had a drone out.

I don't think it's going to be an answer that you can shrug off.

Even if it's just like a,

like, just a, like, it says weather service on the thing.

Oh, so you didn't actually get one of the, one of the culprits.

You just got a random defenseless drone?

It's like his neighbor he got.

Yeah, like what are the shrugs?

Because it's most likely going to be shrugs.

That could happen.

I mean, well, then you got to send it back up again.

Well, my drone doesn't get destroyed.

Oh, okay.

I only got one shot at this, man.

Oh, okay.

You can't afford another drone?

Now what I'm doing for my life and time.

You can get one of a nice, high-powered one.

Maybe not one that's so 10 years old and doesn't have any beef to it.

Maybe get one a little bit beefy that can take a dog fight up there.

I got shit to do, man.

I got shit to do.

The fate of the world isn't important enough.

The fate of the world rests on Brian Michael Quinn.

The world is fucked.

Yeah, those days are over.

You could always cry that your drone was a defenseless one.

You know, if you let's say you're worried about getting in trouble, because I think that's what's really at the bottom of this.

It's completely apathy 100% at the bottom of this.

I think you're worried that the government may come and what, take half the things I have?

They fucking already do.

What the fuck else are they going to do?

Take the other half?

Well, maybe take your freedom.

Yeah, well.

But get him, if I bought you one of those drones.

He has a drone.

You have a drone?

Do you send it up?

No.

If he's not sending it up.

Well, he's got.

How does anybody expect me to be crazy enough to send it up?

He basically has a vagina because he's so terrified.

He's so terrified to put it up there now.

Why?

he doesn't even pay taxes.

What are the government going to do to him?

Oh,

he is so terrified to put his drone up in the sky and try to take on one of these fucking dark drones.

Because I told him, I was like, let's get up there and fucking knock one of these motherfuckers out.

All right.

Let's show him that Americans ain't going to stand up.

You don't fuck with Airport Plaza.

He's like, no, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

No way.

Stop doing it.

Shit, man.

You don't think Trump will pardon you, bud?

Yeah, he's calling for him to be shot out of the sky.

The FAA administration has temporarily banned drone operations of parts of New Jersey until mid-January and warned that the government may respond with deadly force against drones that pose a threat.

Oh, you mean the same government that two days ago was like, yeah, they're not.

Oh, wait a second.

He's bringing in his drone.

Maybe this is why he's not going to drink.

Oh, yeah, come on.

That's like.

This weighs fucking three ounces.

That's a smallest.

That's one of the smallest drones I've ever seen.

Come shot of a drone right there.

That's the best way to put it.

Look at it.

By the way, an amazing toy that when I was a kid, I would have been like, this is the most fucking amazing thing ever.

Oh, yeah.

And certainly would have been telling my friends that they're gay via drone.

What's this retail for?

It's $24.

But yeah, why on earth can't you buy one of those big, beefy ones with some weight to it?

I spent money in my laptop.

Yeah, now he's on his laptop instead of sussing out drones.

This couldn't knock a pine cone off a fucking tree limb.

It is

so

ineffective.

What do you use it for?

What have you used it for?

Just spot it.

Just spot it for the hell of it?

Yeah.

Were you hovering over Walt's house?

I hovered around here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

In the store.

Jersey City, Bayou and Elizabeth, Harrison, Kearney, Edison, Bridgewater, Cedar Grove, Hamilton, North and South Brunswick, Branchburg, Woodbridge, Clifton, West Hampton, Winslow, Gloucester City, and Camden.

Are the towns you can't find?

All the towns that are separate from the city.

I didn't even know Camden had laws.

They're allowed to do that.

I'm surprised those haven't been shot out of the sky already just for the hell of it.

But not

our neck of the woods, and certainly not Staten Island.

No, there's no

there's no reason that we can't get ourselves like a big fucking ballsy drone and TSD on the side, like right on the tail and start sheriffing

the skies.

You're not flying over fucking my house.

Yeah.

You've been bothering us a month now.

November 18th, 2020.

You couldn't bring like a firecracker up there, like an M80, and then drop it on the target.

How do you light it?

With a little button, button, and then there's like a little ignition, a little spark that lights up.

You don't know how to do that?

And then drop it on a moving target that I can't see.

From a moving target, I can't see.

Lands on someone's roof, close a hole in their roof, practically just back at it.

Goes down their chimney and just rattles into their fucking living room.

Practical douchebag strikes again.

I got it.

I was only trying to help.

Did you guys see that Superman drone?

Deflect, deflect, deny, depose, whatever the fuck.

Yeah, deny, delay, depose.

Wow.

Maybe you could bring up maybe four drones and have one giant net

that you just try to corral on like a big crap well well how about this what if like you know those party streamers that pop out and they send the the stream you know the paper streamers yeah like one of those into the fans of the drone gum it up and then the drone goes down now there's no there's no fireworks involved

right but but then there's a trail of your streamers though but what am i once i have the drone though is aren't i claiming it and publicizing it you have to go on 4chan or something

i don't even know.

I wouldn't even know how to get on 1.

You've got to go somewhere where you're not going to get caught.

But then why am I doing all this?

To find out what the fuck's going on.

They could tell us.

I don't care.

Yeah, I don't care what's going on.

As soon as it begins to affect you, you will care, though.

But how's it going to affect me?

Well, that's, you know, that remains to be seen.

But at some point.

Yeah, like when drones start dropping down, taking his riches and shit.

Yeah.

Or when the government drone

When the government takes IRS on the side, exactly.

When the government hijacks a cable stations to only play 24-7 government propaganda and they can't play IJ anymore, then you're going to be like, oh, fuck, I should have got my drones up there.

Yeah, maybe.

But I don't get paid when they rerun it, so it don't fucking matter anymore.

Well, they're not making news.

I think in memory hold the whole fucking series the second I'm done.

It won't affect me at all.

But they're not making new episodes because now no one's allowed to broadcast anything but government propaganda.

Yeah.

Well.

Or IJ just works for the government now.

It's like all government stuff.

Well, now I'm interested.

Jokesy shows.

Suddenly we have a lot of drone-based

drone-based material.

It's you and Mer selda's a punishment and a drone just hovering right near you guys.

The Gatto 2000, we'll call it.

I'm in.

That I would sell out in a heartbeat if the government

wanted to hire me as a mouthpiece for their drone program.

To win the public over that drones are not to be feared.

Hey, thank you for an IK.

Hey, what's up about

talking bad about drones?

Let's rap about drones, everybody.

I hate this little guy.

He's got air.

He can't hurt anybody.

Look at him.

He's a little kung shot of a drone.

What's he going to do?

He can't even knock a pine cone off a tree.

Oh, yeah, in Russia, there are friends too.

Have a good night.

Oh, that'd be great.

I'd be down if they paid well.

I'd totally do it.

You're taking everybody's money, no matter what the cause.

Oh, man.

I went to.

All right, Q.

I

recently, I all right, so I've been trying to get a model train set.

All right.

You know, which has always been headed towards this.

Me alone in my basement

putting together model trains.

And I was driving to through Jersey the other day, and I just put in like model train shops.

So I want to, I have to get a piece.

I can't fucking find it anywhere.

And I came to a store called the Hobby Shop.

Yeah, I used to work there.

You brought me there once?

Because I walked the second I walked in, I was like, I fucking know this place.

Like, I knew it.

I knew the legendary.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't think I ever brought you there, though.

When the fuck would I have been there?

Um, but you used to work there, yeah, for two days.

Oh, how did it go?

What happened?

They were kind of grouchy to me, so I left.

Well, guess what?

They're still fucking kind of grouchy.

Dude, I went in and you walk into the store, and they have a huge train set up.

Yeah, it's like legendary.

Fabulous, yeah.

Yeah, it's behind glass, you can't touch it.

But it is.

And I was just like.

Iconic.

Iconic?

Great.

And I walked in and I was like, oh, fuck, I found the right place.

And I go down an aisle and there's train tracks and some trains, but that was it.

And I needed a transformer for it.

And so I went up to the guy at the counter and I'm like, hey, like, I need this transformer for the thing.

And he looked at me like I was an idiot.

And I'm like, you know, the thing that powers electricity to get the train.

And he's like, yeah, we don't sell them and i'm like oh you don't you don't sell uh the transformers i go i thought every track needed them and he's like kids don't play with trains anymore so we don't sell them and i was like well you i was like you have tracks and trains and he's like no we don't sell them and that was it like there was no like he was just like curt like i'm an asshole for coming into the hobby shop that has a giant train track there and asking

that blows my mind though that uh not that kids don't play with trains i mean obviously not because if a man of your age is going into kids.

But

that

shocks me that they wouldn't dismantle their train then.

If they're not going to sell it, why waste all that floor space then?

It's fucking mind-blowing to me.

Yeah.

Mind-blowing.

He said that all they sell then is RC cars.

He goes, they still have one small aisle that has fake trees to put on the train set and everything like that.

But it's all RC cars now.

So what'd you do?

I've yet to run a train around the fucking circle because I can't find this stuff.

Amazon doesn't have one?

Amazon, they're all like, we'll ship it to you in January.

This place is like 20 minutes away.

This place?

The train doctor.

I'm going to the train doctor today, man.

Is he going to sell me fucking a track?

No, it looks like this is the.

You don't call yourself the train doctor if you don't have the

goods.

All right, so you worked there and they were mean to you, but I knew I was there before and I knew it was related to you guys.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know what the circumstances would have been that we would have stopped there.

Maybe it was the old View of Skew days when I was like, maybe I got sent to that to

something.

Yeah.

But there was like a moment of like, whoa, I've been here before and something like that.

Now, do you have

a setup in mind?

Do you have a layout in mind?

Are you just starting and building from there?

That's a great question.

And I'm glad you asked, Brian.

I am slower.

I'm not doing what I always do.

which is show an England of excitement into something and then just purchase everything you need to do it and then play with it for a week and then not do it.

I'm like, I have some trains right.

I got a great FDNY train.

I got that Lex Luther car.

I'm like, just get the the track and the Transformer.

You can't fucking find these things anywhere.

Finally got the Transformer on Amazon.

How much did it go for?

It was like $100

just for the electric thing, plus $40 shipping, which believe me, it wasn't fucking annoying to pay.

And then the tracks, they're like, we won't even ship them out until January.

I want those tracks.

Do you need...

Top of the line tracks or you just need just serviceable well see that Lex Luthor cart the Lex cart with with the kryptonite, which I've talked about before with you, like it, it runs on a new system that Lionel made that the center track is powered.

So to make that go, I need the Lionel tracks.

Okay.

And I'm having a real hard time getting them.

Are they?

Are they something that was released a long time ago or are they something that is manufactured today?

Today.

And it should be.

Yeah, it should be.

It shouldn't be this hard to find them.

I guess it's around Christmas.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Type thing.

But I'm really, you know, all I want to do is fucking put it down and make it go in a circle.

I had a buddy who made me, and it'll fit on these tracks, the um, the train from Back to the Future 3 with that pushes a DeLorean, and he made the DeLorean and put train things on the bottom for me, too.

So, I want to get that running around the track.

Now, when you say you want you're going to be in a basement doing it by yourself,

you don't, you're

the person in your life, you're not good, that's something that you guys can do as a couple.

No, that's not happening, not about to keep it going.

How come, though?

Because it's a very not sharing everything about myself.

It's not happening.

Because it's a very...

But that's a hobby that

I've yet to meet a gal who isn't like blown away when it's set up and it looks beautiful and it looks like

the lights, the warm lights and the

mountains and the trees with snow on them.

And it just takes your breath away.

This goes beyond sex.

Like both sexes are

all sexes.

I don't know if there's not two.

I know the most cause cancer.

They seem to be just as taken aback when they see it.

They're like, wow, this is so magical.

Yeah.

Well, maybe if I ever reach that level of skill and

isn't it just about setting it up?

Well, I think what you're talking about is like when you do the mountains and the rivers.

I'm not doing that.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm taking this one small little step at a time.

You know?

Which is also good advice for a relationship, by the way.

Like, one tiny little small step at a time.

Don't tell them about the trains right away.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

She don't need to know about the trains.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited by getting into this, but I'm having a hard time entering into the what town is that store that

Eaton Town.

Eaton Town, okay.

Wow, that's been there forever then.

Yeah, it's recommended by a close friend.

It's 20 minutes away, north or south?

Right up the parkway.

You got to go south.

South.

You got to get off 117.

Right.

No, 105.

105.

Yeah.

Oh, all right.

All right.

So it's just past Red Bank.

Yeah.

Gotcha.

Yeah, we're still pretty close.

You got to get on Route 35 South.

All right.

All right.

I forgot the mics are in front of us, so everybody just had to listen to me to talk about this.

I do apologize about that.

But any model train enthusiasts out there.

Oh, you're going to be, you're going to find plenty.

Yeah.

Like, like, you know, hit us up.

No, no, no, no, no.

Hit you up.

You know what?

If someone someone's going to tell you

about this, get up.

If we can create a model train thing on Reddit and you

pull out every meme comment and it's just about people who are enjoying trains and enjoying each other,

I'll want to go look at it and hear what people think.

But any negativity's got to go.

What would constitute negativity?

I mean, I popped in the other day to look at what was going on with the QS Comedy Festival, and it was just a lot of negativity.

And I thought I was doing something nice and fun and it made me like feel really bad about myself.

So

I don't want to do it.

I'm too susceptible.

I'm a pussy.

It's fine.

It's totally fine.

Now you're leaving it up to him to

leave it up to him to determine what's mean and

what's not mean.

Yeah.

The error on the side of Brian's a pussy.

This is it.

This is part of what I'm using him for now that he's my problem.

Okay.

Is this.

I need to him to police Reddit so I don't get off with it.

Why don't you just create just an email, like a train email that only talks about trains, and then you monitor and you answer what you want to answer and you read what you want to read?

All right, yeah, fuck the Reddit idea.

I'll do that.

Yeah, and then you can.

But what about the synonym of it all?

Like, what about like, what if ants find out there's like 10 model train enthusiasts and they want to

talk to each other?

Well, then after you got a nice setup,

then you post on Reddit, like, hey, here's my setup, looking for advice or looking for pointers.

Okay.

All right.

But you got to get your setup first.

Well, I'm trying really hard.

Do you think it's like Stamps Walt?

Like we recently did a Stamps segment on a bridegroom for Patreon?

Yeah.

It's just like that age group is sort of like.

And they're sort of aging out, and there'll be a point where you're going to be able to get fucking sweet ass fucking setups as these people die off.

Children and grandchildren selling their stuff.

And their families, like, what do I do with all this shit?

Because

only Pop Hop did this.

You may be able to score some fucking massive, beautiful setups.

All right, I like this.

As you fucking swoop in on

families

with pennies on the dollar.

Your weakest moment.

But I'm helping them out.

You are helping them out.

That phone number that you just had for me is like 15 years out of date.

I haven't had that phone number in 15 years.

That's where I said everything, too.

All right, that explains why I'm not answering you, pal.

I don't know who has that.

Yeah, all right, just letting you know.

All right, all right, all right, get him.

Hold off on the Reddit thing.

Although, if anybody out there starts a train one, monitor it.

Thank you.

Now, but would you remove the negative comments?

Because you found that's a conflict of your interests.

If you want to give him the mic, I'd really love to get this answer.

Because you are loath to remove any comments.

Because I'm part of the show.

But if this is going to be something different, I would have no problem moderating it.

How come it's different?

Isn't it still part of the show?

It's brought up on the show.

It is, but

it's not.

Because it's

train-related.

It's a bit loosey-goosey, what you're fucking.

Well, no, it's train-related.

And the rules are being laid out in advance.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So he's just following the rules.

Yeah.

I have no problem.

I have no problem removing.

Rules.

No mean.

I have no problem removing stuff on the Reddit if there's a consensus among the other moderators.

But if I'm the sole moderator, then I'm fucking going to.

Oh, you mean it's not on TSD Cares?

It's on a different Reddit.

I would think it would be like TSD Trains.

Oh, okay.

Let's talk about it.

A whole new one.

A whole new one.

That's a lot of pressure.

He was talking about being on TSD Cares.

Would you then remove comments that you...

That would be tough then.

It's not tough.

It's your job.

No, this is what I'm talking about.

This is the kind of, this is why I've washed my hands of them.

If it's TSD Trains, then it's different.

But

he's not going to do what you want to do

because he doesn't give a fuck.

Okay,

he probably has some experience that I don't have.

So start TEST training.

He probably has no money unless you fucking give it to him either.

He probably doesn't have an income, but yet he's willing to fucking say, fuck you.

Yeah.

Fuck you.

Giving me the finger.

I'm not going to remove.

I'm not going to do what you told me to do, even though you're my employer.

Right.

we didn't we start that reddit thread too i thought we started that way back in the day

like so technically it's ours so you won't do it inside the the tsd cares that one thread where everybody knows the rule is be nice and talk about you were talking about you i thought you were talking about starting up a subject no i was talking about i was talking about in that no no no you're not in tsd cares a new topic thread and in that everybody knows that they can't say anything mean and if they do you're going to go in there like

if it's just it's just one It's just one topic thread.

Just one topic thread.

As long as we establish it like at the top of the thread, there's a pin post, then yeah, I would have no problem.

Okay, there you go.

See?

You got to work within the man's morals.

All trains all the time.

That's it for the TSD training.

Yeah, yeah.

Do that, get him.

Are you all right with that?

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Great.

But wait, wait until January.

Let people build excitement for it.

Okay, great.

All the bubbling excitement about model training.

Model training.

Now, will you wear a hat like Bobby Bacola on the Soprano?

Oh, I would fucking love to.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

I don't want to get there.

I don't want to buy the hat until I earn the hat.

Let me just get a circle on a table with trains going around, and then I'll take the next step.

Gotcha.

I just want to get there first.

Under a Christmas tree, maybe.

You know what I mean?

Something like that.

Something like that.

So that's what I'm thinking.

But I guess that's it.

I'm off to the train, doctor, boys.

Yeah, you're going to go?

I'm going to go right now.

I'm going to head out.

All right.

Yeah, I'm going to go do it.

Well, that's it then for us.

Until another couple of weeks.

So everybody have a good Christmas.

Great Christmas.

Happy New Year.

Good Kwanzaa.

Good Hanukkah.

Good everything.

Festivus.

Festivus, sure.

Yeah.

And we'll be back sometime.

The train doctor is going to stick a finger in your caboose and ask you to cough.

I fucking hope so.

Or he sells you anything.

Or he sells you

one fucking inch of track.

He's going to want to see

if you're up to the task.

It would explain why he's been in business so long.

And what if he gives you a little interview and he's like, no,

you're not conducting a serial transformer.

You don't deserve one of my trips.

Well, I'd be like, all right, well, can you work with me?

Like, can you help me

become this person?

No, I can't.

You're just a weekend warrior.

That's the guy saying, no.

Like, bro, you're not interested in anybody taking over when you're gone?

Like, I could be the new train doctor.

You know, I'm the train doctor now.

Already, you're so soft, you don't want any mean comments about your train setup.

Get the fuck out of here.

He's already posting negativity on Reddit.

You weren't meant to fucking deal with miniature trains.

Handle

your soft fucking yellow pussy ass belly out of here.

Choo-choo.

Choo-choo your ass at the fucking door.

Now this sounds like Madawak.

What were you into last month?

Go back to that.

You're gay.

Fun, Steve, Dave.
