#618: Mad Diddy

She's so famous because she fucking spit on a dick.

Yeah, I'll bet you there are some.

Scratch your eyes out.

You know?

Wait a second, we jettisoned a fucking man child for what reason?

Because he ate

up

fucking eggheads.

Go home.

Right.

Fuck off.

We don't need you.

Go be future leaders of America.

We don't need you.

Keep your fucking nose buried in that book.

That's it.

That's all.

Tell him, Steve, Dave.

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

What a full house I have today.

I got BQ.

Yeah.

Yo.

Got Brian Rupert.

Hello.

How's everybody doing?

Of course, Diddam, the silent producer in the wings.

He's got two backup recorders going so that no file is ever lost again.

Double-fisting recorders.

Yep.

I like it.

I appreciate the gumption.

He's trying to show us something, me and you, since we're taking over for him for 2023.

I like it.

I already like what I'm seeing.

Yeah.

He got that picture I sent you, though, right?

Of him dead asleep.

Yeah, dead asleep.

Yeah, he did.

On Black Friday.

I liked to, when I saw it, I was like, he must have been up for 24 hours at that point.

Yeah.

He deserved a little rest.

I think so, yeah.

All right.

Yeah, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, went well.

Yeah, it was cool.

A lot of people were a great tradition to, and it

was awesome to see so many people come from so far away.

So many people from Michigan.

Michigan and Canada.

That was a lot of people from Canada.

That's where our hot spots are, Q really.

Michigan is a big pocket of TSD listeners in Canada.

Michigan's a great, great neck of the woods.

Yeah.

And who doesn't love Canada?

I can't.

I mean, they're the nicest people on the planet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's cool.

Yeah.

So I heard Friday was pretty busy.

It was busy all weekend.

It was nice.

Yeah, it's a tradition that I hope we can continue for many, many years.

It's just nice.

It brings everybody together.

People are having a good time.

Well, not everybody.

I couldn't make it.

Yeah, that's true.

There were a couple of disappointed people.

I did tweet out that I couldn't make it.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, we let people know here as soon as we finish it.

It's a bummer.

I'm sorry to miss it.

What are you going to do?

Busy man.

So busy you can't return texts.

It's been busy lately.

You took it on the chin last week because you didn't return my text.

It's all right, we texted you yesterday.

Yeah, you texted me yesterday, but I texted you the week before.

It went before you went to Vegas.

Oh, okay.

I texted you and I said, hey, I know you're going to Vegas at the end of the week.

Do you have any good days this week?

And then you never answered.

I want you to answer by day two.

I prayed that you wouldn't answer so that I could go after you.

Gotcha.

No, you're right.

You're right.

All right.

Well, I'm back.

All right.

That's all that matters.

I'm back, baby.

He's back in the saddle.

We were talking earlier before the mics went hot, Q, our girl Hawktua's in some trouble.

What?

Yeah.

This is the best.

It may be over for Hawktua.

Oh, no.

What happened?

What'd she do?

She got into the crypto game.

Yeah.

And she sold a meme coin.

It was like dollar sign Hawk.

I mean, the president of the United States does that, so how is that a problem for a podcaster?

Well, when you own most of the crypto, I guess this is the way it went, right, Rupert?

She owned most of it.

Her company.

Her company.

They owned 97% of the coin.

They got the value up, and they rug-pulled $2 million out from people and tanked the coin.

So, what was the highest the coin was valued?

I don't know what it was, but I know they profited 2 million and they tanked the coin.

It's valueless.

They said there was a zero?

It's like, yeah, like if you look at the chart, it's like a full dip.

Yeah, they said it like it capped out at 500 million.

That was like when it first opened, they were saying it was worth 500 million.

In 20 minutes, it went down to 30 million.

This is what's difficult because it's hard to understand crypto.

Yeah, and isn't this like all I heard was Bitcoin is 100 grand now?

100 grand now, yeah.

And I remember years ago, a crew member on Joker's, when it was $1,000, was like, I'm putting all my money into this, you should, too.

And I was like, I know what this is.

I'm not doing it.

I know he's out there right now with many, many Bitcoin.

He's got to be worth like 20 million now off of, he was a crew member, whatever we were paying him.

He was just all in on it.

So, you know, and I like the guy, so I hope he's doing well and making a lot of money.

But I don't understand it.

Listen to some of these sad tweets that Haley Hawktour is getting.

Haley, I just purchased $35,000 of some

of Money Hawk.

Is that what it's called?

It's like Dollar Sign Hawk.

Yeah, Dollar Sign Hawk.

And it's now $2,000 after 10 minutes of me buying it.

I was a huge fan of Hawk Tour, but you took my life savings.

I was excited about this and spent my life savings and my children's college education fund as well.

Why are you putting your children's college fund into hawk to

blowjob Bitcoin?

I don't know about that.

How did you make that money to begin with?

Shouldn't she have her children taken away?

And I don't know why I assume it's a girl.

I can't imagine her.

It's got to be a guy.

It's probably a guy.

Because girls are not probably into Hoctua, I don't think.

I don't know, man.

That is.

I think probably young girls are into Hawktua.

A girl, like a very young generation.

Oh, you don't think girls aren't cat and are like, oh, she's so famous because she fucking spit on a dick.

Yeah, I'll bet you there are some girls.

You scratch your eyes out.

There are definitely.

Yeah.

Wow.

There are definitely some girls like that for sure.

But I think, like, I can't imagine her main audience is young males, right?

You can't?

No, I wouldn't think so.

Because she said one thing about spitting on a cock.

And then, if you watch that podcast,

I don't know whose attention she's holding.

I thought she was, I mean, I thought she.

She does have A-listers, though.

She's got like Mark Cuban on there.

Really?

Yeah.

That's nuts.

What is the current value of Hawk coin?

I have a chart.

It is currently at 0.004176.

As of this, like what was the highest it was?

The highest it was was.

You remember those mini Prussian kissing devil skulls?

Yeah.

They're worth more now than the Hawk Cooper.

We sold them.

You sold them.

You moved them all.

It took many a year.

Yeah.

0.025.

So it was like two and a half,

2.5 cents at the top value.

I mean,

but there's

millions.

Nothing.

That's the thing.

It sounds like nothing.

Like, oh, I could invest, you know, a quarter of a cent into some Hawk Tua.

You know, I'll buy $100 worth and see how it goes.

I'm going to sink every dime.

Like you said, Walt, it's probably, it can't be real.

Like, what idiot would do that?

But she's got a whole bunch of lawyers after her now, and like, it's not looking good.

A lot of people think she may go to jail over this.

Wow.

I thought the egg on her face was going to be limited to.

Did you see she did a quick promo for the Atlanto Hawks?

She had like a Hawks jersey on,

and she was like, Let's go, Hawks.

I guess she was trying to somehow integrate herself with the Atlanta Hawks.

They just tweeted, We Good.

Did you see her dancing, though?

Yeah.

Oh, her, yeah, that spastic dancing.

She's like Elaine Bennis on Crack.

Yes.

Yes.

What was her name,

Julia Louis Dr.

What was her real name in the show?

In Seinfeld, Elaine Bennis.

Oh, okay.

I thought that was her real name.

It's like Dante and Randall.

I don't realize that Brian O'Halloran is my colleague.

You always call him Dante.

How hard is it to start your own coin thing?

Oh, I think you guys could start like telling somebody.

We're not doing that.

I've had people contact me if they want to do it.

I was like, no, you could make millions.

We could.

Millions of people.

All we have to do is rip off the loyal audience.

Yeah, the people who've stuck with us all these 15 years be like, now it's time to cash in.

No,

that's not.

Look,

the little mini kissing devil skull,

you know, say what you will about it, it's still a good product at a good price.

You know, it was a collectible.

Yeah.

We never said it was going to send your kids to college.

Exactly.

Like, you know, you don't, you know, buy it if you want, don't, but the coin stuff, like, you know, yeah, we can't get into that.

Do you have any crypto?

If I do, it's what Brian said, $100 or whatever it was.

Yeah.

Like, I'm not all in on crypto.

I have a little Bitcoin.

Yeah, I have Safe Moon, which tanked.

I got into early and it bottomed out.

I just take my money and I give it to,

you know,

Charles Schwab or some people.

People who know what they're doing.

And I watch it grow year after year.

Like, that's my plan.

Wow.

Yeah.

So how was your Thanksgiving anyway, Q?

You went down to Florida.

I saw you possibly battling an alligator through a fence.

I love those.

No, there was no fence.

There was no fence there?

I thought there was a fence.

Zero fence.

There's no fence between me and my gator buddies.

Wait, you actually had to wrestle a gator?

No, no, no.

Where my parents live on the golf courses, alligators live in the thing.

So every once in a while, a monster will crawl out and just sun itself.

And I was going for a walk and I saw it, and I just took a picture near it.

Oh, okay.

I thought you had to get it off your parents' property.

No, no, no, no, not like that.

Like a wrestling gator, no, no.

You ripped your shirt off and you started wrestling.

I'm like, oh, jeez.

No, this is a long one.

That was a big one.

He was like eight feet, man.

He was a big gator.

But I also, there was no fence, but I was also, you can't tell in that photo, I was also on a hill above him.

Oh,

and it was a steep drop.

It wasn't like he could get up and get me, but it was no fence.

They're quick, though, man.

Before, you know,

there were like families walking around and stuff like that.

So all I have to do is be faster than one of those,

And I would have been fine.

I watched a show.

It's called Florida Man.

It's on Max.

I've seen the advertisement.

Right.

It was about this guy.

He seemed sun-baked as hell.

He was really out of it.

He got his

arm ripped off by an alligator

and spent the next three days in the swamp just trying to get back to civilization.

However, the alligator twisted his arm, it must have somehow

acted as a tourniquet and sealed it.

So the guy's like, I mean, he looked crazy after this experience.

Yeah, that was pretty out there, man.

Yeah.

But he was like, for some reason, I just wanted to go in the lake.

He's going, you know, and I went swimming around and I'm from Florida, so I should know.

You know, and then next thing you know, I turn around and there he is right there.

And they do like these reenactments and he starts screaming.

Yeah, I think that if you see me going into the lake to Pettigator, like, that's when you should be

looking out for kids.

Other than that, I'm not trying to get hurt.

How hot do you have to be to,

you know, on one summer day to like, I'm going to go take a dip in that pond or that lake or that river?

In alligator country or in like New York?

Just out in nature.

Just out in nature.

How hot do you have to be to like, I'm going to go into instead of unknown water?

Yeah.

You're just going to go.

It hasn't happened yet.

And I've been pretty hot in my life, you know?

Right?

Exactly.

I don't understand that mentality.

I know it's probably done every day, but I'm like, I'll just wait till I get home and I'll take a shower.

I don't need to jump into a real body of water where there's living things in it.

Yeah, even a snapping turtle will take your fucking toe off.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If you're lucky, it's your toe.

Oh, yeah.

Let's chomp your balls right off, man.

What else do I got here?

Oh, Walt, you were right.

I think you're right about something.

You're on the right track, but you've often said Jeff Bezos will be looked back as

somebody who,

history won't look back on him fondly, I've said.

Right.

You did call him, you did say they would look at him like hell.

I think you might be right.

That was a little hyperbole.

I think you might be right, though, because I watched this documentary called Buy Now, and the environmental holocaust that Amazon is creating, it's crazy.

In what way?

Like the plastics that are used.

It's just like

they just go through like how basically everybody's buying shit they don't need.

Yeah.

And in order to make all this stuff.

And to ship it.

And to ship it.

Yeah.

It's like the

environmental holocaust.

That should have been the name of the fucking

documentary.

Yeah.

That gets people's attention.

Anything with Holocaust.

Yeah, that gets eyeballed.

Yeah, but if you're interested in watching the supply chain and what it's doing to the environment, yeah, check out Buy Now I'm.

Should Amazon put restrictions and be like, you can order it, but you need to have

10 things in a cart before we ship it.

Once you order 10 things, then we'll ship it to cut down on shipping costs, shipping fuel, shipping materials.

They could do something like that.

It would definitely affect them, though, because they're known for like, hey, you want it tomorrow?

Well, now they have to kind of rethink things.

If you're having a Holocaust, that's what happens when you cause a Holocaust.

Well, unless somebody forces you to rethink things.

Well, that's where the government should come in and be like, look, you got it.

You got it.

I mean, it's not happening now.

I mean, now we got a government that's like, what?

Trump's not going to care about it, unfortunately.

But yeah, you need the government to be like, you can't do what you're going to do.

I want my Christmas sweater now.

I don't need it like in January when I have 10 things in my cart.

Fuck you.

I got to tell you.

I got to tell you, though, sometimes if I order multiple things and it's like, do you want them all shipped at once?

And if there's like a five-day lag, I'm like, no, I want it now.

Like, why would I be ordering it if I want it in five days?

I just go to the store and get it.

Yeah, it's nuts.

I think that's it.

But it's like, yeah, it's like it's moves like that times millions.

Well, that's like the scam of recycling, right?

Where it's just like it was created to move the onus on fixing the mess that these plastic producers are doing on us, the consumers, make us feel good about recycling when the reality most of it gets fucked up.

Covers that too.

Yeah, metal gets recycled, right?

Plastic is like it's

aluminum.

I think aluminum gets recycled.

It gets recycled pretty well.

But with plastics, like recycling is a scam to make it seem like they're doing something when the answer is you tell Coke, you tell Pepsi, you're not fucking making any single-use plastic anymore.

And that would come from a government.

Why we don't have a government that does that, you know, I don't know.

Yeah, but I'm probably at blame for it myself.

No, not you.

I would be blaming you because I'm not, I'm not, I'm not educated on all of you.

I'm not using that single-use uh water bottle right there.

Yeah, I mean, look at it.

But my point is, just like, who is this bowling basket?

Like, they should not be allowed to sell this.

I think that there's plans in the works for reducing the single-use water bottles.

I mean, Jesus Christ, I don't have kids.

My name's Paul.

This is between y'all.

Like, what happens to the planet after I'm gone doesn't really fucking matter all that much to me.

But if I had kids, if I was a breeder, this would be like my number one thing would not be.

I have kids.

I should be concerned about this.

Yeah.

Like, yes.

Why, though?

What can I do about it, though?

If I stop buying some single-use water bottles?

Write some letters.

Write some letters.

Do people read letters?

Get active in politics.

Get the right people elected.

Oh, come on.

Well, there you go.

Wait, I got to do all that shit.

And I got to ship out the Patreon goods.

And

I got to clear videos.

I know I got to get them off my docker now, but I don't know if that leaves me still enough time to write letters.

Why don't you just ship everyone's Patreon goods at the end of the year?

Make them wait all year and send it once.

I'm sure

they'll be happy with that.

Let me ask you: while Giddam's not in the room,

what if, after our careful review at the start of the the year, we decide that the best move for our

business is to let Giddam go?

Are you okay with that?

Well, is it a three-person vote?

Well, you said you put us in charge of him.

And what if we're like, oh,

so I won't have a say in it?

Well, of course, you always have a say.

No, no, no, but you're like, yeah, I couldn't deal with that.

That would be, that would put a,

is it a poll, a pail, a

poll on the rest of the year as we're.

The whole year?

Well, the whole fucking rest of

the podcast's existence will be like...

So wait a second, we jettisoned a fucking man-child for what reason?

Because he ate too old.

I don't know if I can live with that.

I'd still come up with like, cha-cha-cha-cha!

Tell jokes.

I mean, I can't stand them.

I'm not going to lie to you.

But that doesn't mean I don't want him to have somewhere to be and like and go where he

doesn't like to be at his

current state where he lives.

So far, everything you describe is his problem and his fault.

But yeah, yeah.

I understand it, but that would be a heavy burden on my psyche.

You got to make it work.

I'm sorry.

You got to make it work.

No matter how bad, no matter how dysfunctional it is, you got to make it work.

Because I made it work for how many years?

now you want to be like, I want to get rid of them.

You're the first option.

You haven't even done one bit of fucking work.

That's not what I'm saying.

I said if we case, if we got into it and started doing the work and came to the conclusion that it's best.

Oh, it is in our best interest, but that's not an option.

There's no doubt about it.

There is no if and or but

I didn't know what I thought your answer was going to be, but it wasn't this.

Oh, it's so funny.

Yeah, all right, fine.

It's like you have um

you have that uncle.

Yeah.

That's just the fuck-up.

I think I am that uncle.

You have that family member or that or that sibling or that

kid or whatever it is.

You just

your kids can't wash your hands and be like,

I'm Paul, and what's it online again?

This is between y'all.

Revealing history?

Did they have a room for an office coach?

Maybe they have friggin' posting bills online.

Do you think I would look for get them?

Unbearable?

Are they looking for it on the bottom?

You want me shipped to Rhode Island?

So then, what is like, all right, but what about like

docking pay?

Are you all right with that?

Like, where's is there anything?

I am not going to

tell you how to do it.

Okay.

I'm not going to

get in there and get into the nitty-gritty of how you want to proceed.

Try whatever you think will work best.

Got it.

You've had experience.

You've been the boss.

So you know what needs to be done.

Fire it.

No.

Yeah.

Okay.

So anything short of

sacking, you're like, let's try it.

Yeah, and that's kind of like an eternal get out of jail free card.

I know.

I realize that.

There's no

fear of.

Yeah, it's tough because it's like, if you don't do this, there's going to be no consequences.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

It's hard to tell your teenage child that and think they're going to toe the line, right?

Yeah, it's almost impossible.

But yeah,

now I'm Paul.

And this is all on y'all.

Very good.

I know we're getting handy

personnel sheets from Tom.

He's going to give us

what is that called?

Review sheets.

Okay, like when you do a performance review, we're going to have to start some employee files right here.

Yeah, yeah.

Get him, you're in charge of getting those files together.

Do we need a file kind of?

I think we only need a fucking, like a little recipe card all over.

Yeah, no, yeah, that's no, I think we need like a file.

Wherever it lives, we need one.

And that file is going to be reviewed by who?

You?

Me and Brian.

You and Brian.

And we're going to.

But who's going to...

So you're going to be reviewing your own work because who's filling out these files?

Well, it's one file.

We're going to sit down and reread them.

We'll just stick off.

I read Q's, he reads mine.

We compare notes.

I thought the same thing.

Yeah, me too.

We can't fire him.

He's awful, huh?

Yeah, he is.

But we could put

what do we do?

Like, we could put like, what do they call it work when you get like a warning, like a written

demerit?

Yeah, like, we could put like demerits in there and stuff like that at the end of the year.

Like, we could review.

What happens if he gets a certain amount of demerits?

Well, that's what we're going to have to say.

You have to come up with some sort of penalty for if you hit this many demerits, this happens.

By the way, that's usually, that number is usually three.

Just so you know.

So, yeah, if he hits 20, something will happen.

That's me.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

So we got the parameters now.

We can do nothing.

No, we know.

Pickets could jerk off into a file.

That's all I can do.

We can commiserate on the phone later on.

Yeah.

All right.

Wow.

I fixed my toilet.

With.

Well,

it turned out that like the fill thing, like the tank wasn't filling.

First thing in the fucking morning, go to the bathroom, the tank's not filling.

Like, if you want, if you're gonna, if something's gonna break on you, you want to like at least get through half the day.

Sure.

You know,

not the first fucking thing, right?

So it's not filling up.

I think you're better in the daytime than you are at the nighttime, I've noticed.

Yeah, I agree.

I agree.

You feel at nighttime, yeah,

you tend to have, kind of feel less energized.

I think you're a morning person.

Totally agree with you.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean at six in the morning I want a broken toilet and be like,

what am i gonna do you'd rather have it at midnight uh i guess so yeah i guess so i'm going to bed well i guess like

very bad don't flush a toilet yeah ever see you in the morning i'm not handy oh fuck it's the morning i gotta deal with this i didn't deal with it last night

so uh i go to lowe's i buy like this this part after i watched a video on youtube So I go and I buy the part and I get the Teflon tape and I'm ready to do it.

And then I'm reading some of the

comments

about like how it went went for them.

Because I'm like, okay, let me make sure this is how you're supposed to do it.

And the first comment was, I just punched mine and it started working again.

And then I saw a bunch of more comments.

It was like, hey, it worked for me too.

Punched it.

Punched it.

Yeah, punched the...

Is that a terminology or is that mean really?

I can literally punch it.

Because

I went in there before I took anything apart.

I went in there and I punched it.

And it started to fill up.

And then it started working after that.

Wow, you must have a stuck seal or something.

Something like that.

But I gave it the old Fonzarelli.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's, that's, I can't imagine that's going to be work for you.

It's going to work.

All your issues, like any household things that pop up, I wouldn't be punching.

I'm ready to open a business, dude.

Just brief punching.

Maybe that's how we'll fix Giddam.

Yeah, right.

Against the wall, give them some body work.

Some more CTE.

But you know how, like, Japanese car companies, they start the day with workout.

They make everybody like do workout and stuff like that.

Like maybe like a policy of that.

Some exercise regimen, yeah, like you know, stuff like that.

Who's going to be here every day to make sure he's doing those?

It's going to have to be, he's going to have to keep a log of it for us.

Make him live stream it.

Now, you're talking.

All right.

Put it on YouTube.

Yeah, yeah.

You got to be careful, though, because is that legal, though, too?

I don't know.

Is that legal?

Like, you have to exercise for me and send me a video of it?

That does sound sketchy

when you put it like that.

Yeah, that's true, I guess.

I don't know.

It might be, though.

But we would just play the jury his greatest hits.

And they'd be like, no, we got to fucking

innocent.

Before we get into this

Rupert stuff, he's going to tell us how to attract a younger audience.

And the way you did it, Rupert, was by

polling your classroom, right?

I asked two separate classes and I asked them to give me a list of topics that they thought were cool and things they thought were cool.

Things that they would prefer to hear on a podcast.

I didn't mention podcasting.

I just said I'm doing a report on

things that teens find cool.

All right.

So

how come you didn't want to mention podcasting?

You don't want to have trailed.

I don't want to have to.

They know you have a podcast on a podcast.

By the way, they know.

You think they know?

I don't know.

I don't know if they've bothered to Google me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

I hope not.

Why, I can't imagine that you have anything you'd be worried about, do you?

Oh, I have a lot to be worried about on the podcast.

Oh, yeah.

Really?

He's told stories even on this podcast that could be sort of

spicy and saucy sometimes.

Not this episode, but really, I don't remember anything spicy and saucy.

Well, I'll tell you afterwards so we're not repeating it.

On this podcast, that I was in the room, or I didn't hear it.

I think so.

No, I think you're in the room.

Nice.

Now,

tell them, Steve, Dave, we're about to usher ourselves into a new era of coolness

with the kids.

These are all things the kids told me were cool.

How old are these?

They're high school.

High school, guys.

Yeah.

14 to 16?

Between, well, I think it was like

the classes that answered, it was a mix.

So it was between sophomore and senior.

Okay.

Okay, so that is like 15 to 17.

Yeah.

That would be the prime age of what would be

considered extremely, they would be, they'd be in the know of what's cool or what's not cool.

They're creating what's cool, these kids.

Yeah, absolutely.

They have their fingers on the pulse.

They are the pulse.

I like these buzzwords.

Is that Rory off to a good start?

They're not on the list, but.

Sure.

What's one one of the first thing they said was cool was rap music?

Uh-oh, well,

oh no.

But you guys like it.

I could cover some.

We could talk about Wu-Tang and gravediggers over and over again.

You like your MM.

So 40-year-old hip-hop or modern?

Modern.

They gave me two.

I asked, who are the two biggest artists currently?

They said Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.

I've never listened to either.

Have you guys?

I'm familiar with both names, but never listen to either of them.

Is Kendrick Lamar in with one of the Kardashians?

I don't think so.

Isn't he?

That was Lamar Odom.

Okay.

He's doing the Super Bowl halftime show this year, I think.

I've heard both the names.

I will have to verse myself.

So, in your opinion, Rup,

how would we insert Kendrick Lamar conversations into the podcast without it feeling like we were just doing it

to chase ears of the young crowd?

So, exactly what we're doing.

Maybe you get like Sunday Jeff to read some lyrics, like a modern version of Two Life Crew, One Middle-aged Jew with Sunday Jeff and Kendrick Lamar.

Does Kendrick do dirty raps?

I've never heard him.

Is he an explicit artist, or is he somebody that the whole family could listen to?

I doubt if he's cool.

He's someone the whole family could listen to.

That's a good point.

That's a really good point.

Now, Travis Scott, wasn't he one of the ones that there was a stampede at his concert or something?

Yeah, yeah.

We could talk about stuff like that.

We could talk about how, how, like, you know, who's this guy?

Travis Scott had someone die at his concert from a trampedend.

And

David Cassidy in the 70s, he had someone die of a trampede as well.

So we could talk about, like, you know, it's been going on since the dawn of music.

And then we'll get into 70s stuff.

And the who they had, the illotic tramples.

Hey, what about this?

What if we tasked Giddam with becoming very well versed in Kendrick Lamar?

Listen to the albums, absorb them, become an expert on them.

He's a producer/slash researcher now.

Yeah, and he could speak.

Do people want to hear more of him?

Well, he just passes his notes on to us.

Well, they might if he's speaking about cool things like Kendrick Lamar.

Okay.

Right?

It's worth it.

We've got to try something.

I guarantee you.

Everything's on the table.

Everything's on the table.

All right.

So we have to talk about current rap artists.

Not like run DMC or Public Enemy or anything like that.

Not the good stuff.

Okay.

No, two live crew references, though.

That's two in the past, though, right?

Yeah.

All right.

They were my favorite rappers, though.

Those them first didn't.

Luke Skywalker, right?

Yeah.

That was his name, wasn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm surprised that Lucas Films didn't fucking go after that.

Singing about fucking girls in the ass, and they're okay with him calling him.

I'm Luke Skywalker.

They're like, okay.

And George Lucas is kind of like, whatever.

They gave me a list of sports that are cool.

Oh, here you go, Walt.

We got to know football's on there.

Football, basketball, soccer, and boxing.

No hockey.

Hockey, not cool.

We really don't talk about hockey, but we could talk about football.

We talked about the boxing match.

Yeah.

We watched that.

Jake Paul.

I did.

Some of it, yeah.

What did you think about that?

I thought Tyson looked really okay

in the beginning, and then a switch just got flipped, and it became obvious that we were riding

an exhibition fight that nobody was.

I think most guys have that switch.

Yeah, most guys aren't getting in the ring and selling.

Yeah, but I think you can equate that switch goes off even if they're walking around the mall at Christmas time.

Sure, but if

they're going past a certain amount of stores,

they're like, hey, that switch just went off.

I'm going to go sit in the car.

Yeah, but

not if you're one of the greatest mall walkers of all time.

You know what I mean?

You know, it might be.

And he's not that, he's old, er, 58, but he's not old, old, right?

Like, that's still, I thought he was going to do a better showing than he did.

I can almost guarantee you that probably the kids don't care or didn't even know who Mike Tyson was, right?

They know him more of like the legend of Mike Tyson, you know, and they're, they're probably more tuning in for Paul.

Right.

Yeah.

So we don't, yeah.

See,

that's the mistake all three of us made.

We didn't talk about Jake Paul at all.

It's all about Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson.

Well, how about this?

His brother,

Logan Paul,

is in the WWE, and he's even more popular than his brother.

So I could speak about that.

You have the floor.

He's great.

I love him in the WWE.

He came in like supposedly behind the scenes.

He's a really polite, easy to work with guy.

And he came out as a heel.

And

he is hated.

People hate him.

He comes out with this arrogant, like, I'm the best YouTuber of all time type thing.

But he looks like a million bucks.

He takes the wrestling seriously, and his matches are fucking awesome.

So with Logan Paul, you have

a great heel who knows what he's doing, who's bringing fresh young guys into the WWE.

And I got to tell you, he's a guy I love to hate.

Love him.

I think he's great for the business.

Now, is it enough that we just talk about them, or should we promise that we're going to get them on the show and then never really try to get them?

Sure.

You can promise that.

You're our guest, but it's up to you.

Yeah, I'm talking to the Paul Bros.

So far, you've gotten Ellie,

which went over well.

So

I should do it again.

Unfortunately, the kids said the Paul Bros are uncool.

So

I wouldn't recommend.

Why did you cut me off?

I didn't want you to roll it.

I know, but in the wrong direction.

We'll edit that all out.

All right, thank you.

That'll all come out so you look cool.

They gave me a list of cool clothes.

Like,

these are things that are cool to wear.

Hoodies?

Are lions and radiated hoodies on there?

Hoodies, sweatpants.

Oh, I've lived my entire adult life with sweatpants.

You're trying to push me.

I'm dressed like one right now.

Yeah.

Sweatpants and hoodie.

Look at me.

Hoodie.

Yeah.

We're cool.

Nice.

Yeah.

I figured that it's going to be a pretty cool room based on what they said the fashion they like.

Hoodies, sweatpants, Nikes, Jordans, Adidas.

And this was the thing that I didn't know.

There's a brand called Essentials, and they also said they like graphic teas.

Oh, for like you get at Coles and shit, you know, the old, old-fashioned, you know, throwback tees, the retro tees.

Yeah, or Tom Steve Dave tees.

Yeah,

graphic tee.

Here's a graphic tee you can get on TomeSteedDave.com for iTunes, iconic art.

Yeah, how cool do you people want to be?

Don't spend that money on a Hawkatu coin.

Okay, so Paul Brothers are not cool.

But I don't know how much content there is to be mine, though, talking about sweatpants.

New drops.

You got to mention, like, when something new comes out, like, yo, Adidas is dropping a new line of sweatpants.

Do you really have to throw the yo in?

That seems like

you.

Yo.

That's not yo.

That's how I start every class.

Yo.

Yo, kids, what up?

It's Mr.

R.

You can't wear sweatpants at school, right?

In a hoodie?

Oh, I wear sweatpants and a hoodie every day.

Do you?

Yeah.

So they must think you're a cool teacher.

I don't know if they think I'm cool, but I think they're like, he's a very laid-back, easy teacher.

You know?

Do you teach the equivalent of the sweat hogs in your school?

I never watched Welcome Back Cotter.

I know it's a good idea.

That's the kind of shit we can't say.

Oh, yeah, I know, I know.

But this is our last episode.

I want to get it all out as much as possible.

Are they like bad kids?

Are they the kids that are kind of like recently?

Tiny people.

No, it's mixed.

It's mixed.

Like, I'll have I'm an elective teacher, so I teach art classes.

So I'll have honor students and I'll have kids who are not doing this.

Because I don't care about what the honor students think.

I really don't.

Well, they didn't.

Their opinion means shit to me.

I want the bad asses.

I want the kids that are in school suspension who've been suspended multiple times.

Like they got grounded.

It's their opinion.

They sit in their room and listen to us.

Yeah.

All right.

Fucking eggheads.

Go home.

Right.

Fuck off.

We don't need you.

Go

future leaders of America.

We don't need you.

Keep your fucking nose buried in that book.

That's it.

That's all.

So the next thing they said was cool was Avengers stuff.

So basically like movies and stuff.

Collecting comics is weird and uncool, but reading them online is cool.

So you can read them.

You just can't own any of them.

Hey, I went digital a while ago, so I'm hip hop.

Keep them hidden in your attic.

Yeah.

Preserved in my attic.

Preserved in my attic.

Preserved in my attic.

Yeah.

Well,

since the last time we got together, Q,

in the episode you last appeared upon, you mentioned the possibility of you contemplating opening a complex.

Yes, yes.

And I

tried to steer you out of it.

Yeah.

Saying that, you know, I would never open up a store in this climate.

You know, who's that?

I walked out of here being like, I had a silly idea.

I'm a jerk.

What's wrong with me?

But since that episode dropped, things have transpired personally to make me think that

that

advice

was absolutely wrong.

And that you absolutely should open up your own store because the guy I was getting my books from, my masterworks from, is closing up shop in December, and I'm going to be in need of a new home to sell my books.

And boy, would I love

a sweet, sweet fucking deal?

That Q deal.

That's a 50% discount.

Oh, I thought it'd be more considering all I do.

I'm just going on what you gave me at the stash, so

I guess there was room for more.

Never asked.

I just thought you were giving me the price.

All right.

Well, I mean, let's say you scratch my back, I scratch yours.

Maybe you don't want want to deal with Guten.

Maybe I'll take back the reins if I get a

free Masterworks throw in my back.

Oh!

All I'm saying is I'm open negotiations.

Could you write down what Masterworks you're thinking about?

All of them.

About two a month come out.

Right, okay.

You're talking about maybe $75 a year cost for both of them.

Two a month.

Aren't they big?

Aren't they like?

But they retail for about $125, and usually you get them for like a store would get them for like probably $45 to $50.

It's a hell of a markup.

Yeah.

But no one's buying these books, though.

Only the old coots are buying them.

Are Marvel Masterworks on your cool list?

I'm assuming because it's owning a book, it's automatically uncool.

I'm sorry, Walt.

All right.

Well,

not to derail that conversation, though, but you know, you should think about that.

I do think

there is, you know, with your passion

your um

gumption yeah i believe you can make a store work i think it'd be more than work i think it'd be super successful oh wow all right i'll i'll walk out of here thinking differently

thank you

thank you

so we could talk about superhero movies though yeah you could talk about the movies i guess which we have done since sure tsd began we have never shied away from talking about a superhero movie not to spoil the list but i think going through a lot of this you guys are cooler than you realize.

Because

you already have the fashion down.

So where are the kids then?

Why don't we have the listeners?

And why aren't they listening to us?

If we are talking about the things they enjoy,

how come it's not equating to seeing those

teen numbers rise?

Well, I could get into that.

So they told me.

So I asked them, like, are podcasts cool?

Some things I asked them, I prompted them because I wanted to know.

And I said, are podcasts cool?

They said, some podcasts are cool, but they won't listen to a whole episode.

They like watching two guys argue in a YouTube short or a TikTok or Instagram short.

So I think if you want to meet the teens, you have to go where they are because that's what they said they want.

They won't watch a whole episode, but they'll watch tons of clips on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram.

What do you mean, watch?

Isn't it listening?

Well, we don't have any video.

They need a video podcast.

That's basically a lot of people.

They only want it for a minute, though.

They want a minute of fighting on a clip, and then they want to scroll and watch another clip.

That really sounds like some ADD shit right there, right?

I mean, yeah, that's the modern generation, though.

You know, constant one-chunk bites.

I like this,

but not enough to watch more than a minute of it.

That doesn't seem like that would work for us, though.

No.

And our audience that

we have already.

We don't want to lose them either.

Well,

maybe what he's suggesting is that

the show is recorded,

video,

and just not the whole thing is released as a video podcast, but we find

one or two where you and I are arguing or you and Brian are arguing or whatever's going on.

And then we throw those small little clips on TikTok.

Which I thought was getting closed down fucking by the China people.

I don't know.

I'm just telling you what the kids liked.

I mean, but you could also, a TikTok clip can also go on Instagram and YouTube.

You know, the clip travels.

Right.

Do you do that?

I try.

I don't have the time usually to do it, so I tell Steve to do it.

And I don't know if you can.

You don't have to make a one-minute video?

No, I'm doing everything else with my podcast.

I don't mean it in a way,

but I would think a one-minute video would only take you five minutes.

I mean, you have to change the aspect ratio.

You have to put the text.

It's kind of a bitch.

So what I do is I clip the one-minute thing, and then I send send it to Steve for him to do, and then I wait around and hopefully he does it.

Does Steve listen to TTSD?

No, he's not going to hear me bitch.

He's like, You might have an argument on your hand that you guys can use for your next clip.

Okay, well, that's interesting.

I don't even know how to digest that one.

That sounds like ignore that one.

All right, right, trash.

They said fast food is cool, and they gave me some cool fast food places: Wingstop, Popeyes, and KFC.

Those are cool spots.

We literally record right next door to a KFC.

That has to count for something.

That has to

give us prime cool points.

Should we try to just incorporate the KFC logo into everything we do moving forward?

Or discussions of KFC.

There is a Popeyes right down the street.

I am a colonel.

Literally, I'm a.

I'm a Tucky Colonel.

True.

If anyone's authorized to speak on it.

Yeah.

Maybe we can dress, get him up as Popeye, the sailor man, and just some sort of weird, you know, like

why is he dressed like that?

Popeyes.

Like he's just chowing down on a bucket, you know.

And then we put that clip out.

He's got the elbows on Popeye.

He looks like a lead up.

I know, but most people don't realize that.

You know that, Kiri.

There's one more.

There's a more famous Popeye

than Popeye Doyle oh yes yeah way way more popular you just lean into that than the racist cop from the 70s French connection are they into that

I didn't ask about racist cops but based on my student body I just ain't got a chunk up

they like anime Dragon Ball Bleach One Piece Attack on Titan and Jiu-Jitsu Kaisen the only one here I know is Dragon Ball My niece was obsessed with Attack on Titan, but I don't understand any of it.

Dragon occur

anime.

I can't get into it.

It's so kinetic.

It's so like

everything moves at a hyper speed.

I don't like the proportions of the characters.

It's just a miss with me.

Yeah, I'm like, hey, whatever, man.

If you love it, I'm not here to shit on it.

But I just can't get into anime.

Not even the fun ones, but there's like tits out and stuff.

Sex about tentacle sex.

That's not even enough.

Yeah, did they say tentacle sex was cool?

They didn't mention anything about sex, thankfully.

And you know, I'm sorry.

There's some great manga artwork, like intricate, beautiful, detailed, gray-washed manga art.

And it's just absolutely ruining to draw those fucking goofy, gigantic eyes.

Yeah.

It just, uh, it just takes me out of it.

I'm with you.

I'm with you.

And I tried, I watched Akira

and I was just like, so what?

I felt the same way.

I was literally like, this is what everybody's going on about?

Yeah, they were.

Ghosts in the shell.

I was like, I don't care.

But hey, man.

again like not everything's for me obviously and I I I'm I'm glad it brings joy to so many to so many people but it's not my thing

all right what do we do then I mean

maybe you can make get him do like an anime breakdown where he has to watch like a series and then give you guys a recap of it okay yeah we talk about it as if it's firsthand yeah

I don't know I'm throwing something out uh they said the PS5 is cool I got one of those it's locked down I could talk about that.

What's your favorite part of the PS5?

Well, I mean, I guess the games, I guess, you know, I'm playing Call of Duty.

Siege?

No, Black Ops 6.

Okay, they said Siege is really cool.

That was on the cool list.

If you went on and you started playing with the kids,

like a Twitch.

Yeah, that could, yeah, like you have a video camera on yourself as you're playing.

I have the Twitch, the at BQQuin Twitch channel.

I just don't do anything with it.

I just got it, so you know, I had it.

That could be cute.

Keep success.

fun.

I'm playing

Marvel Midnight Suns, that video game?

I have it.

I haven't played it yet.

It's a lot more fun than it.

I heard it was like corny and stuff like that, but it's like corny in a way that,

like, you know how everything's about deconstructing fucking comics now and stuff like that?

I hate it.

This is the opposite.

This is like, here's the versions of these characters that are the closest to what you think of.

And as a result, they come off a little corny.

You know what I mean?

Because Spider-Man's always trying to like quip and shit like that.

But you're like, yeah, but this is what they should be.

Wait a minute.

Spider-Man's in the Midnight Suns?

Well, the game is expansive.

It's not Ghost Rider, Blade, and

Hannibal, King Roberts.

It is Ghostbuster.

No, sorry.

It is a Blade.

It is Ghost Rider, but Robbie Reyes.

Oh, it's Robbie Reyes?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's still a Ghost Rider, though.

It's still a Ghost Rider.

But they start...

It's actually an Avengers

Midnight Sun mashup game.

Can I ask you who's your Ghost Rider?

I'm very curious.

I can't remember who it is.

Is it Danny Ketch?

Danny Ketch.

But I love Johnny Blaze.

But my ghostwriter, I have to say, is Danny Ketch.

You grew up on Danny?

Yeah, but I love Johnny Blaze.

So it's the kind of stuff that's going to make us look uncool.

I mean, they said Avengers Talk is cool.

Yeah.

Did you play the Guardians game?

Guardians of the Galaxy game?

It was fucking awesome, right?

I thought it was so much fun.

How many hours a week do you think you spend playing video games?

Well, it's my thing at night that I like shut my brain off.

So I probably do like an hour a night, three or four nights a week.

Something like that.

Oh, I never play video games.

Yeah, me neither.

I mean, there are times where I'll sit down to play an hour and I look up and it's two in the morning, and I'm like, oh shit, I've been playing for three hours.

How much does a PS5 go for nowadays?

$500?

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Are we going to get one to be cool?

Well, it might be cheaper if they just put out that pro.

Oh, yeah.

You might see it.

This is $500 for a game.

Well, it was when it came out.

It was probably a little lower now.

But no, that's.

How did anybody afford this shit?

How do these kids?

I mean, I know how I afford it.

That's lunacy, though.

Can you imagine growing up

and you had to ask your parents for a $500 game console?

Well, when

Nintendo came out, it was $99.

So what's that?

What's nine?

Get him, do me a favor, look up what $99 in 1984, $885 is today.

Get him, show me some of the PlayStations.

They go anywhere from $375 to $600 for the Pro.

So the Pro is the brand new one with the super graphics.

I don't think Walt needs that one.

No.

I I don't deserve super graphics.

I don't think you would take it.

Fuck, the guy's worked his whole life.

Now you're going to sell pod graphics.

$290.43.

Okay, $290.43, so price has gone up.

But I mean, the technology is now.

And do you put a disc into it, or is it all you just download games from your?

Most people just download games.

I still like getting a disc.

I like the disc.

Yeah, I like having a disc,

but I think most people download it.

And what's your

how many games do you own?

And what does a game run you on the PS5 now?

One game.

Over $100.

$1.60, $60.

Yeah, about that.

And then you could do what's called the Game Pass, where you get free games every month, and they have a subscription service.

Yeah.

You can get everything for free almost.

Not everything.

A lot.

Yeah,

it's basically a library that you pay.

There's a lot of gaming podcasts out there.

Yeah.

Tons.

I'm happy

to talk gaming.

Could we just go full on gaming?

When two of the three of us don't play games.

Would playing this week, yeah.

Yeah, probably not.

No, no, I don't think so.

We can add some more in, though.

But what do people usually talk about on Gaming Potty?

Do they talk about graphics?

I think a lot of it is talking about, like, I mean, I like retro game talk on YouTube.

So, like, I'll watch channels where they're talking about old video games, more than new stuff.

What's old to you?

What do you consider old?

Like, Super Nintendo, Sega.

Okay,

like the stuff I grew up playing.

I'm more interested in that than modern stuff overall, even though I still play modern stuff.

All right, it's something to think about, but it'd be hard, I think, to do a whole episode just upon video games.

It sounds more like

a Patreon type endeavor.

Yeah, like video.

It seems like you need video for it because you would want to put it on.

I tried a video game podcast and get him killed it.

Why'd he kill it?

Because he was just terrible on it.

Oh, yeah, he sucked, right?

You played Blades of Steel or something?

He totally ruined the whole thing.

He kept saying skatey quick.

He was just brutal and just destroyed my love for video games oh man that's when you stop playing that was the last was that not the last episode

yeah because i just was like i'm done with this i warn you it sounds sounds like he should be rewarded

do you have any gaming systems get him uh used to have no i used to have currently uh nintendo you have nintendo yeah i haven't i think i have an xbox 360 sitting around maybe i can give that to him because you could still play is it 360 What was the last one?

Yeah, no.

Xbox One, I think, was the last one, right?

I think I have an extra Xbox One sitting around.

How much do you think you spent on gaming consoles?

I buy everyone that comes out, so I will.

Over 20 grand

in my life?

In your life, yeah.

No, I don't think so.

No.

No, okay.

Because a new system comes out average, and I know this isn't fucking exact, but it's like.

He's already reading off the comments on Reddit.

I'm not going to be able to do that.

I'm not a stupid motherfucker.

You know, let's say they come out every five years.

You know, so every five years you're dropping, let's say, 1,200 every five years.

You know, so not that.

Per one, right?

Do you get the Steam?

No, no, no.

That's Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo altogether.

Those are the three big guns.

There are no other guns.

Well, Steam, but you could play that on a PC, which I have for work.

I don't consider that a computer.

Do you have a Steam deck?

I do not.

What do you mean you played it for work?

No, computer I have for work.

Oh, I thought you meant I go to work and play video games.

No, no, no.

Computer I have for my job has Steam on it, which turns it into a console, but I don't really play games on that.

All right.

I mean, I think that's one that we could explore more, though.

Yeah, I think, you know, more so than anime for sure.

Yeah.

They said the Costco guys are cool, AJ and Big Justice.

Those guys?

They said they're cool.

Which that showed me that I just have different sensibilities than them.

Oh, my God.

These two guys.

See, this is where I wish Gidham could

pull up the Costco guys.

It's a father and son.

It's actually the whole family, right?

Yeah, it's the father and son.

Big Justice.

Boom.

Yeah.

Oh, I've seen that.

It's so corny.

Yeah.

We're Costco guys.

These couldn't be the degenerates of the classroom.

Couldn't say that this is cool.

This had to be the nerds and shit.

No, these were the cool kids that said it.

You know who the the cool kids are?

I have eyes.

So you know there's definitely on the outside looking in.

I mean, look, I was shocked.

I was like, and some things they threw out and they were messing with me.

I was like, you guys are messing with me, right?

And they're like, yeah, we're messing with you.

This one, I was like, you guys can't be real.

Like, there's no way you think they're cool.

And they're like, no, they're cool.

And like, I don't know what that is.

That's shocking because you're writing about it.

That's so corny.

Yeah, because it's family being really kind of doofy.

Maybe it's just the success of it is what they think is cool and not them themselves.

And when you say success,

have they turned this into some sort of money-making venture for themselves?

I think so.

Well, they must make money on TikTok, right?

Yeah.

And all they do is sing and dance, right?

Yeah, and

they say boom a lot.

They judge Costco food.

They judge Costco food, yeah.

They go in there and get the samples, right?

Yeah, but they're like, so they'll get like, they'll go to the food court and they're like, what's better?

The double chunk chocolate cookie or the chicken bake?

And they'll make people taste test them and see what's better.

Maybe you couldn't have Getham taste test Costco food.

I got to imagine our listeners

aren't interested in if we go to Costco and say boom.

Well, definitely not if we come back and report it on audio only.

Really?

Yeah, they want to see that kind of shit.

Yeah, they want to see that kind of shit.

Do we have a Telm Steve Dave TikTok?

We don't.

But we got to get that because we could just have Getham go to KFC, walk in, eat a piece of chicken, and go boom.

And put that on TikTok.

That is fucking combining a lot of different colors.

Oh, yes.

Have put him in like a Mario shirt or something.

Yeah, he's reading anime while he's eating it.

Yeah, that's it.

Get him.

Once a week, you have to go to KFC and do a boom video.

All at once.

They said the Impractical Jokers.

All right.

Did you prompt them?

I asked them.

I said, what do you think of the Impractical Jokers?

They said, those guys are funny as hell.

You're cool.

Oh, fuck.

Well, that's a big up we got here.

So, why aren't they watching?

I mean, why are they watching?

There's only four of us in the world, and you got one of them.

Again, I think you're just not where they are.

You know, they're not.

Did you tell them that

one of them has a podcast?

Or if multiple have a podcast?

He probably doesn't want his students listening to this podcast.

Exactly.

Oh, okay.

Smart move.

Okay.

Yeah.

But, you know, if they

could find it if they wanted.

It's just a matter of, you know, them looking for it.

Well, they already say they don't like podcasts.

It has to be a short video

of a podcast.

They're probably not even watching whole Joker's episodes.

They probably are mostly seeing like clips on TikTok and stuff.

A lot of kids see it that way.

Do you find that like when you go, people, like kids know you more from like TikTok and YouTube clips?

I wouldn't say that more, but I have heard it.

Like me and my family watch it on YouTube or me, we watch the clips on TikTok and stuff like that.

Yeah.

But I don't normally discuss that sort of thing.

But a lot of young people.

It's been a lot of young people lately.

So it's got some wave, I guess, because of social media.

You're right, though.

I have heard that TikTok is going out of biz in January.

They're going to try to get it removed from the country.

They did it in Argentina or Brazil or something.

I can't remember.

Yeah, they were.

Oh, I didn't know that.

I think it might have been Brazil.

Yeah, they knocked out the whole service.

Yeah, because they're related to China, right?

So there's that whole

anti-China spying.

Yeah, they don't want Chinese people getting all our

pertinent information and data and

shit.

Yeah.

I asked them, they said stand-up comedy, and I said,

What comics are funny?

They said, Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart.

All right.

They're not wrong.

Yeah, they're not wrong.

Sure, Dave Chappelle's one of the best that ever did it.

And Kevin Hart's really funny.

But they're not afraid to

say things that we probably aren't going to say.

Well, Chappelle's not afraid.

I think Kevin Hart has maintained code.

Yeah, I think he's making a lot of money in mainstream.

So what do you think?

Do we go Dave Chappelle or do we go Kevin Hart?

I think we just maybe have stand-ups on maybe guests.

I just saw today on Twitter.

People are jonesing for Joe Gatto.

Let's have Gatto come in here.

Yeah, he'll come in contact with him.

So we allow them to say the things that we're terrified to say.

Yeah, I guess.

I mean, it's an interesting thing going on in stand-up right now, isn't it?

Because, like, the pendulum's swinging back, where they're like, no, we want to be able to say whatever the fuck we want to say.

And those guys are really going hardcore with it.

I don't think we play in that area too much.

So we want to dip our foot in the pool.

I'm ready.

Hot button topics.

Why don't we just wait a little bit longer?

A little bit longer.

Give me one more season.

Let's put a tack in this for a year and then see how it lets revisit it.

Me and Kevin Hart will be over here.

Let's talk about sweatpants.

I'll put it on the calendar.

And they said the amazing world of gumball.

I don't know what it is.

It is.

You know it?

Yeah, it was on Cartoon Network.

Really?

I never heard of it.

I've never seen it, but

I've seen some merchandise for it.

Okay.

Yeah, I don't know what it is.

It looks interesting.

It looks fun.

And it's probably weird, you know, a little bit out there,

which I'm into in my cartoons.

I could try to talk a little bit of gumball.

You've watched it before, yeah.

They said, and the last cool topic was the show Invincible, based on the comic.

Okay.

Have you guys watched it?

I've watched it.

I read the the book.

What did you think of the book?

I loved it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Kirkman and Otley,

Omni Man, all that stuff.

Yeah, it was good.

Yeah, I read the books.

I watched the first season.

I do want to watch the second season.

It's good.

It's really good.

They did a good job.

Now you want the uncool list?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm ready for it because I got a feeling that we've covered it in depth.

All right.

Hold on a second there.

What time is it?

What do we got here?

Let me read a real quick ad real fast so we're done with it.

Good thinking.

And then we can get on to the uncool stuff.

Is that one of the things, though?

Checking to make sure your ads are placed properly

in the like you don't go like it has to be in a certain time frame that they have to be

specifically said podcast ads.

Kow Towing to the man.

Kow Towing to the Man is that cool?

Yeah, I sure hope so.

The holidays are an amazing time to find out what you actually don't know, what people in your life really want.

If you want to get them something practical, they probably already have it.

Our go-to, something they would use every single day, like multiples of Raycon's Everyday Earbuds.

Raycon's Everyday Earbuds are a must-have for any audio lover and make an amazing holiday gift for anyone on your nice list.

Well, this is also a feature.

This is also a feature

That can be difficult to find at an accessible price point Raycon start just half the price as other premium audio brands You know what that means when you're shopping for multiple people two gifts for the price of one Raycon's everyday earbuds are also available in a variety of vibrant colors, which are a big hit to unwrap

I use them.

I use them every night.

I use them in the morning.

The kids said Raycon was was cool.

The kids said it was cool.

All right.

Specifically, yeah.

I just used mine on a flight.

Did you?

Yeah.

He went to Vegas.

That's byraycon.com/slash T-E-S-D.

All right.

Now we can find out what's uncool.

They said the first thing, I guess this is the most uncool thing possible, Arby's.

Arby's.

Will you guys vow to never talk about Arby's after this moment?

Sure.

It'll be hard, but sure.

Is there an Arby's around, Walmart?

I don't know if there is an Arby's around.

Oh, yes, Walmart and Asbury.

Yeah, I went there one time.

Oh, it was gross.

I wonder why it's been deemed uncool.

Just the taste of the food?

I guess.

I don't even know.

Is there an Arby's on Staten Island?

Not that I know of.

Yeah, that's why I found that weird.

Yeah, that Arby's has been there a while, but I always drive by it and I'm just like, how the fuck is that place still in business?

Where's the Arby's?

Where's the

battle?

Rawway Island Island.

Do you like roast beef Q?

I do like roast beef.

Did you know that?

I didn't know that.

Like, you likes roast beef?

Yeah, he's never mentioned anything to roast beef.

Not that I'm aware of.

Yeah, no.

I would assume that.

Sometimes.

It's not like I'm like, I love roast beef.

Yeah, I'll take it.

When was the last time you had some roast beef?

Hmm.

That's a good question.

Probably this year.

Probably got it on lunch at set one day.

Okay.

But usually I go grilled chicken for sandwiches.

Will you, right here and now, denounce Arby's in a move to win over some.

I am happy to do it unless.

Arby's never did anything to be cute.

Yeah.

Ever.

Yeah, but they never hired me for anything either.

So for now, I'm willing to do it.

I'm willing to change my stance if Arby.

I think if this last season, they want to do some sort of half promotion stance.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

You serve from horsey sauce.

Yeah.

I'll do whatever, man.

Fucking, I got no.

Can you imagine

just somehow, some way, this got out and became viral?

How bad would you feel that you just, as a joke, you denounced Arby's?

Well, I think anybody listening would be like, oh, it sounds like he doesn't really believe it himself as he's saying it.

But yeah, you know, I would welcome it.

I would welcome it.

It would bring some attention.

Now, do you think it's also because of the Western motif?

Because that's not cool in this area?

Maybe.

I don't know.

I'm going to guess it's probably because their food is kind of shitty.

Like, is it known for a software?

Because you got Texas Roadhouse.

That's not really of this.

And they're great.

That is not a comparison, though.

To Arby's.

It's like a fast food place.

It's like Wendy's, Popeyes, KSC.

It's like a Texas theme, though.

Right.

That's a Western theme.

Arby's does advertise a lot.

There's always Arby's commercials on.

It's that deep voice black.

We have the meat.

We have the meat.

So maybe it's those commercials are turning people off.

That could be it.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Well, you know what?

I feel safe in saying we probably will never talk about Arby's again, right?

Yeah, this probably be the one and only time you mentioned Arby's unless BQ has to issue an apology.

I'm totally willing to issue the apology, Arby's.

If you want to talk business,

UBQ is going to be saying, we got the meet to soon.

Oh,

we got the meets.

Boom.

They said, this is what one of my students said, the word crash out.

If you use it unironically, it is not cool.

Have you used that word?

I don't even know if I heard that before.

Apparently, it means like to freak out.

Like I was crashing out.

They said if you seriously use it in a sentence, unironically, it's like super lame.

Cringe.

Yeah, that's what they said

i was like i don't have to worry about that because i just heard it for the first time yeah crash out like use it in a sentence i was at mcdonald's and they messed up my burger and i crashed out okay

i was challenging but you could be like so okay so if you were like that you so if i if you were to say like hey man i went to mcdonald's i messed up my order and i'm like what'd you crash out like that's unironically

yeah if you said it like seriously like that i guess that's uncool that's uncool and but if you were like I freaked out, that's fine.

So crashing out, you can't say at all.

No, unless it was like,

maybe if you were busting your friend's balls.

Oh, like, hey, you know, some

inconsiderate slob of a friend ate pulled pork in front of me.

I crashed out after he did it.

Yeah, I think he could use it like that.

Slob.

You should bring that up to your class tomorrow.

Be like, you guys are not going to guess what happened.

Crashed out.

They said the anime, My Hero Academia, is not cool.

You guys don't like anime, so you don't have to worry about this.

This is superheroes, though.

Is it?

It's a superhero school.

Okay.

Yeah, so

I have heard comparisons that it's better than the X-Men, like the classic Run of the X-Men, the Claremont Byrne.

Really?

X-Men.

It's better than the Marv Wolfman, Perez, Teen Titans.

like it's who said that uh just critics really yeah i've seen a lot of accolades for this i mean you guys

that seems like x-men you know i could it's not really my thing but like i that teen titans run is legendary right that's like considered one of the best

and you know

I

can always look back on my time and you know when I was running the stash and I could hold my head up high.

I never caved to the manga crowd.

Nice.

If you go into that store now, is it covered in manga?

There's a lot of manga in here.

Yeah, they're chasing that manga dollars, and I was just like, you know what?

We're red, white, and blue in here, motherfucker.

You take your manga, you take your Wuhan virus, you get the fuck out of my store.

God

bless America.

I,

I,

bland and all I love.

I just wanted

to hear it.

Carol's just outside, like, looking in the window, shaking her head.

Also, it's funny.

I think Meng is like Japanese.

Made it even funnier.

But I would.

Oh, wait, you know what?

You're just like, it's not cool.

What did he say?

He threw us out.

I don't know.

Now he's second.

I just wanted to give him my money, man.

June crashed out.

That's good deal.

That is uncool now, though.

Uncool.

That's one of the things I'm just like, I wonder if I should sample this because I've heard such great things about it.

It's uncool.

You don't got to worry about it.

You don't even have to worry about it.

Yeah.

And no one in this room, I think, is in danger of this.

Maybe Q.

Jeans.

Jeans are uncool.

Jeans.

Do you you ever always wear anymore?

I wear jeans.

What do you mean, jeans?

Wearing jeans, like denim.

Gungeries.

Ming is in trouble.

I'm not giving them up.

No?

I'm not giving them up.

It's for the podcue.

I won't do it.

Let's wear stretchy pants.

Oh, most of them are stretchy right here.

They look like denim, but they're like fucking yoga pants.

Jeg and Tom?

Yeah, basically, that's all I wear.

Jeans are not cool.

That's what they say.

So that's what are all the girls wearing in school, like yoga pants and stuff?

Yoga pants, sweatpants.

Right.

I have been on record since

1997.

That's the last time I like I like there have been a few times in between I've worn jeans, but only for special occasions.

I've seen you one time in jeans, and that was when we went to the movies at when Kevin opened up

I can't remember what movie it was, but we were down at the Atlantic Center before he owned it, obviously.

This is years ago, yeah, and you had a pair of jeans on and it didn't look right.

No, yeah, I've been anti-jeans for decades,

and it's only because I don't think they're comfortable.

I hear you.

I like them.

They feel like a denim straitjacket.

On your balls.

Well, on my legs.

I feel constricted.

I feel like I can't make the moves that I got to make if I have to make them.

I'm curious as to what that list of moves is.

But no, I understand.

I do like them.

I like the way they feel.

Okay.

They said wearing sandals or slides without socks so your feet should never be exposed and if you wear this is a fashion this is a fashion that that varies from uh decade to decade it seems because sometimes it's like if you wear sandals and socks you're the world's biggest nerd are we talking about dudes because i think girls can wear sandals right because Don't guys like to see, like not me, I'm not into this, but aren't there guys that like to see toes and shit?

No, I think it's universal for this, that current generation.

They want your feet always covered.

That's like the consensus.

I thought that women, yeah, that's the reason they got their toenails painted and shit.

They're fucking Taliban and shit.

I know.

What's wrong with these guys?

They don't want to see feet.

That's what they say.

That's wild.

Yeah, that's pretty out there, man.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not into feet at all, but

there's some days when it's just so hot.

Don't they understand?

I don't get that one.

I mean, I would never show my own personal feet, you know, because I'm self-conscious about those bent toes.

But what don't you got guys like you that are on WikiFeet?

You've got to to show them, yeah, that's how I make my money.

I don't know, I don't know what to tell you.

That's what the kid said.

Okay,

Xbox is not cool.

Oh, that's all I got.

Oh, yeah,

like is it just too old?

It's your granddaddy's console, just like PS5 is cool, Xbox isn't.

That's what they're saying.

But if you went to another classroom, it could be the other way.

I don't know, but that was this was two classes.

Um, what else?

They said, talk to a is uncool.

No.

Hawk to a girl is uncool.

And that was unprompted.

And the class, when they mentioned her, it was uproarious laughter and everyone mocking her.

Wow, shit.

Yeah.

Now, why do you think that was?

This is before the

school.

This was like maybe early November.

So, why do you think she fell out of favor so quick with the youth?

I think her podcast was probably viewed pretty lame right away.

I don't know.

Yeah, you wonder what makes them turn on her.

They elevate her

and then they just abandon her.

It's bad news.

She's never been nothing.

We've been all in on her for weeks now.

Shit.

No, look where it got us.

Skibbity Riz is uncool now.

Skibbity Riz.

I don't know what that is.

I've heard this before.

What is it exactly?

So it's like, it's become like a phrase that like Jen Alpha says, like skibbity Riz.

And it comes from this YouTube video about like a talking head in a toilet and like it says like skibbity a lot and Riz means charisma.

I don't fully understand it.

I'm doing a shit job of explaining it, but that's basically it.

And that is uncool now.

I guess it was and it got played out.

Crashed out.

And

the last two are Drake.

Drake is not cool.

Drake is not cool anymore because I think he beefed with Kendrick.

And because Kendrick Lamar won, it kind of ended Drake.

He's not cool.

How old is Drake now?

He's got to be like 35, I'm going to guess.

Yeah, that happens to any artist, though, once they cross over a certain age.

He's 38.

The kids are going to abandon him solely because of his age.

People who like Drake will stick with Drake, but like minting new listeners, probably not happening.

No.

And is he a rapper or is he a sole artist?

RB.

Why does he got to be one of the two?

Yeah, I think he's kind of

straddling.

I don't think he's rock.

No, he's definitely not rock.

Yeah, you know, but

all that Drake needs is one hit.

That was Drake Brown?

Yeah.

His kids are fickle.

They don't know what's going on.

He, yeah, Drake is like a rapper who sings his own choruses.

And does he have any scandals?

Is he tied to Diddy or anything?

I think he has

some underage scandals.

Like, supposedly, he was sliding into Millie Bobby Brown's DMs when she was underage.

Yeah.

So, you know, and the last thing that's uncool is Diddy.

Which, I don't know if you guys know, but the youngest.

We got to talk about it.

Yeah.

As things go on.

But it's like kind of the new, like, you know, how no homo was a thing?

The kids will say, like, no Diddy.

Or they'll be like, that's mad Diddy.

Wait, no Homo came back?

Well, I'm just, it's like the equivalent of it.

They'll be like, no, Diddy.

No Diddy, they'll say.

Or they'll be like, yo, you're Mad Diddy.

I see.

And meaning what when they say it?

Gay.

Really?

Yeah, it's kind of taken over.

Gay has come back, huh?

I hear everybody like calling each other gay now.

Like, it's kind of back.

It's coming back slowly, yeah.

The kids say Diddy.

Oh, man.

I, I was, I, I've been, like, I've been noticing people being like, ah, that's gay again.

And I'm like, wow, I can't believe that that, I guess.

It's back.

It never should have left, man.

You know, nobody meant it in a hateful way, but it seems like it's back.

So, do you think talking about about current events is

mad diddy?

Is that something we should do, or should we

not talk about current events and kind of make it timeless?

Because then when people re-listen to them, they're like, oh, well, they're talking about stuff that happened so long ago.

Personally, I think you guys should talk about whatever the fuck you want.

That's my personal opinion.

But, you know, I'm just, if you want, you know, maybe you could try to sprinkle in some of the youth topics.

Maybe I could update you every couple of years on what the new generation is.

We need a weekly roundup.

I love your enthusiasm, your optimism that we'll be going for years.

I think TSD is like 15, 20 more years.

Really?

Wow.

See, I've seen it.

I hope for God's sake.

What about current events?

But we could talk about it.

I wanted to ask Q about his thoughts about the assassination of that CEO, that healthcare CEO, yesterday

in New York.

Well, yeah, he got just shot.

I don't

think he just shot him.

Yeah, Yeah, I heard like he just got like it was a it was an assassination, though, right?

It's got to be somebody who got denied coverage, right?

I think that's what most people are going to lean into.

But I wanted to ask you this.

You're next in line to be like that guy, the guy is killed.

Yeah.

And now BQ is

the next guy who's going to step in to be the CEO.

Do you take it?

Or do you just like...

I would probably look, because if you're in a position, if you're going to get that position,

like you've got to be,

and I'm not trying, look, the guy got shot.

I don't want to say, say, you know, but I don't know how

I wouldn't want to be in a position of telling people no, their coverage.

Like, I don't know how you do it.

He doesn't do it.

He has his money.

Yeah, but my orders from the team.

He's the face, though, of the company, though.

Yeah, like, how much did we make last year?

50 billion?

Maybe we could only make

30 billion.

They only netted 3 billion last year.

Okay.

That's all.

No 50.

So as a CEO, I'd be like, guys, maybe we just make $1 billion.

I don't want to hear that.

Then you're fired, dead.

That's it.

Then I'm out.

You're out.

So I wouldn't be good.

But if I was the type of guy that was like, fuck, I'm going to make that $4 billion, I would just be like, look, I need personal security paid for by the company 24 hours a day.

Last guy got shot.

You want that extra billion and not?

Oh, I would be terrified to take it over.

Well, it's not exactly like, it's like when you hear these

police chiefs, they take over for an old police chief and they're like, I'm going to wage a war on the cartels.

It's like, are you out of your fucking mind?

The same thing happens every time they get decapitated and their head is put on top of their car.

Every time.

Do you think it might be a little misdirection, though, that maybe

the murder has nothing to do with insurance denial?

The guy could have slept.

It could be a love triangle thing, and maybe this is an episode of Colombo then if they tried to do a little switcheroo and put everybody on the wrong track.

Columbo cooler on cool on the list.

I'm going to assume that if I ask everyone, what's a Colombo?

This is the last episode and get all this shit out, though.

I'm not going to talk about it in the next episode.

Do you think it's possible it has their

possible?

It just seems like, you know, Occam's razor, right?

Like, the answer is usually, like, the easiest answer is usually the answer.

But then you have to try to explain away, how does that person know a guy from Minnesota

is at a conference in New York, what hotel he's staying at, and what time is he going to be on the street?

That is an excellent point.

Right?

How does he know that if it's just somebody who's like,

even if it's some disgruntled guy who maybe had a loved one, denies coverage?

Why is he in town?

Is he probably speaking?

Yes, maybe.

They're at a CEO fundraiser.

Okay, so he could have been.

Fundraiser?

Fundraiser?

Or investment?

Not fun.

They don't need fundraising.

Shareholders meeting.

So that narrows it down.

He knows he's in New York City where he is in New York City.

They could have followed him back to the hotel from the event.

I don't think the event happened yet.

It was happening that morning.

Oh, I don't.

Yeah, I don't know any of these facts.

So I don't know.

Did you see the video?

I haven't seen anything on it.

Wait, he's just, what is he?

He's just walking out to his car or something.

He's just walking, and just some guy waits as he walks by and then just shoots him like five times.

Holy shit, man.

Yeah, silencer on the gun, a suppressor.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

I'm not surprised at this show.

No, you see, like, people can be driven to

extremes when they feel like they've paid in all that money and then they get denied health care or their loved one gets denied life-saving services, and it can drive you to do fucking crazy shit you never thought you would do.

Well, what if you got, if, say, that this guy got denied services and he's like, you know, I've got cancer or something, and

they won't pay for the chemo or whatever, it's like, if he doesn't have family, it's like, what has he got to lose then?

Nothing.

He's got a death sentence, and it's like, fuck this guy.

Fuck it.

Like, maybe he's not the one who denied me, but he's, like you said, he's the face of the company that denied me.

I got to take it out on someone.

And it's fucked up because, you know, the family is just.

He has a family.

He has a family, and you're going to hear the world

just kind of be like,

oh, well, who cares?

It's weird because a man just died, but yet the internet and basically a lot of people, not everybody, is going to be like, they're greedy sons of bitches.

Yeah.

It's weird.

Are people saying that?

Is that like people who are like,

there's little sympathy you can find for

I get it?

We're in a fucking fraught time in history, man.

Like, it's

people's dander are up.

Is that cool?

Yeah.

Dander's up, man.

Like, people

are feeling left out and not included.

So I can see how they could see it as a notch for the good guys.

Yeah, if that's what it is.

Because it could be.

But he also left

writings on the shell casings.

Wait, what?

He wrote Deny, Defend, and Depose on the Bullet Bullet Casings.

And that's a title of a book about how insurance companies do everything in their power to not pay out.

Well, I think we could write off the jilted lover angle here.

Scratching into bullets.

Well, that would be the perfect screen.

Yeah, that would be the smokescreen.

If it's somebody who wanted to throw you off, you're right.

That's what I would do.

Scratched it into the bullet?

Yeah.

Into the casings, yeah.

That is anger, man.

That's a lot of time, yeah.

Wow, sales of that book are probably going up.

If he's the author, pump up his book sales.

Got to get in with the youth.

Wild Madden's nuts.

Books aren't cool.

No.

Yeah, it's going to be something to see how it unfolds because, right, it's like, oh, here's a video.

There's a lot of sim, there's not a lot of sympathy for this guy.

Oh, my God.

Look at that.

Right behind him.

He takes aim.

Oh, that was fucking crazy.

Yeah.

He just goes.

I don't need to see the actual actual bullet go off.

It's all right.

We got him.

Thank you.

I doubt they show it on this NBC.

I've seen it.

It's not that graphic.

All right.

He just falls down.

He just falls down.

I wonder what he's thinking about.

I don't think he feels.

I think you just see him kind of stumble.

He probably doesn't know what hit him.

No, that's what I'm saying.

I wonder what he was thinking about as he walked down the street.

Probably not a gun.

He was his last thought.

Probably not a gun going, oh, I'm running late for my meeting.

Yeah, something like that.

And that's the last thought you have.

I'm rich.

And did you hear that yesterday one of the other insurance companies issued an edict that

they're only going to pay for a certain amount of time that you're under anesthesia in an operating room?

And if

Red Cross Shield in New York and Connecticut.

And if your doctor goes over that time, you're on the hook for the anesthesia then.

Oh, my God.

They'll cut you off midst.

And that's why

people get rid of it.

That's why people are indifferent.

And there's apathy.

Who fucking thought of that?

Who even had that thought to be like, we should cut them off in the amount of anesthesia?

Like, it's so fucking crazy, man.

It's it's so inhuman, yeah.

And but that's why there's an absolute apathy for this murder.

Yeah, I guess I guess I understand because I just said before,

let's say that wasn't a CEO of an insurance company, let's say that's some Joe Blow that was shot by some random person.

Yeah, his insurance company would be fighting you tooth and nail not to pay out,

right?

Yeah,

it's pretty fucked, man.

It's wild.

Kids like that, though, right?

Do they talk about current events?

Oh, I think so.

They're plugged in.

That's horrible.

I mean, you got to like,

yeah, you got to be angry to go shooting somebody.

Oh, yeah.

If you could see, like, your child, you thought your child could have lived.

Yeah.

You thought your wife may have

could survive if she had gotten care that they was denied.

And this is the company that said no.

Yes.

I absolutely can understand the apathy of the world to feel the sympathy, but it's got to be fucked up for the world, for the, for that family to see that reaction is like, oh my God,

not only is he dead, but nobody's going to be able to do it.

Everyone's celebrating it.

Everyone cares about it.

At minimum, they don't care.

At worst, they're celebrating it.

Oof.

Can we mention the Christmas pod?

We sure can.

That was my last point.

Yeah.

It's out.

That's right.

It's out.

Out on Bandcamp.

And please.

What's the reaction been?

People loving it?

People love it.

Greatest Christmas episode ever.

That's what I was saying.

But it is not on the Tell Em Steve Dave page on Bandcamp.

And I hope that hasn't confused people.

But you have to search Tell'em Steve Dave Christmas 2024 to find it.

If you're looking just on our

Bandcamp page, it's not there because it's under an account for the Juarez family.

That's great.

Absolutely.

So, yeah, it's doing well.

I heard

that it's helping a lot

to the Juarez family.

It's going to go a long way in helping solve the issues that they were having, which I don't want to speak about.

I know people have demanded, I tell them why they need help, but I don't feel it's my spot to say it.

No, if the Juarez is.

Why are they even asking anyway?

They're getting a product for the money.

They're not just giving money.

You know,

that's a question that I don't want to get into much of it.

Understood.

Because people are buying it, and that's the most important thing,

not all the other stuff.

That's just noise.

Yeah.

Justin Kyle told me that

he bought it for 50 bucks.

He was like, you know, it's Alex and Victor.

I'll give a little bit extra.

And then he downloaded it, and he saw that he accidentally downloaded the 2023 version.

So each of us made $15.

Hey,

he asked me for a refund.

I refused.

I took

my talking points from that CEO from the insurance company.

No, no, no.

That was a joke.

I gave him the refund of the $50.

Wow, this is crazy footage.

Yeah, so yeah, it's great.

So people have been loving it.

People have been loving it.

Yeah, it's three

hours and 40-some minutes, I think, 46 minutes of

Christmas bliss.

If you're

somebody who's, maybe not going to be anticipating a great Christmas this year, maybe

you're not with your family or you're just having some

blues.

You can spend it with us for three hours and 46 minutes.

That's a long time.

And then you can start it over again when it's over.

You're not going to catch everything.

There's seven hours you spent with us for Christmas.

You just spent like less than a dollar an hour, man.

What are you bitching about?

How has reaction been to Ming's?

Very good.

Yeah.

That to me was the moment.

I can't wait to see that.

Say Ming was the Maverick.

Yeah.

Making that call.

That's why he's got that fucking hardware, that Maverick hardware.

Has there ever been a follow-up to that?

Did we ever hear from you?

We heard nothing.

No follow-up.

Not surprising.

No, what are you going to do?

Yeah.

And look, you know, after you buy that one,

if you've had the Tell him Steve Dave one, you've listened, you can check out the Review History one.

There he goes.

There it goes.

Please, please check it out, Reviewing History on Bandcamp.com.

There he goes.

What's your Christmas episode about?

What are you doing?

The premise is it takes place in December 2023, and we go to a Diddy freak-off.

And it's like a Christmas, it's a rip-off of Tom Steve Dave Christmas.

I just love it so much I did my own version.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

Who's your guest on it?

Any

TSD alumni?

Chuck, Jimmy the Hair Guy, Get Em.

That's the guest list.

Not bad.

Yeah.

All right.

I like it.

There you go.

I'll check it out.

Yes.

How much is that?

It's five bucks.

Five.

Four hours.

It's a lot.

A lot of time.

Not a lot of work.

A lot of time.

If you only get one, get tell him Steve David.

If you have extra, you know.

I heard that he was blotted.

He got so drunk he almost passed out and was incoherent at the end.

Get him.

And he was just slurring his words.

He was a drunken mess.

He knew better to do that on ours.

Yeah.

Did it add to the show or did it detract?

You could be honest.

I think it was funny, funny, and everyone just kind of went, okay, and they just ignored him after that.

And then, after like, you know, 20 minutes of that, he kind of like perked back up a bit.

But yeah, he was down for a bit.

We've all been there, get him.

What kind of drunk is he?

Was he happy?

Was he just, like you say, incoherent and like,

he would just like ramble.

So, like, we'd ask a question, and he would just be like, and the fucking thing, and blah, blah, blah, and, you know, and the horses.

And we're like, what?

And then, you know, people people would go, okay.

And then they would just go back to what they were doing.

You know,

and you're welcome.

You know, that has just sold you some more episodes because people want to hear drunk, incoherent, get them, right?

I hope so.

I think you're going to see a little bump now because people are going to want to hear him make a spectacle of himself.

Jesus, get him.

You're moving the needle.

You know, that's all.

The recent history bank.

It's for Christmas.

I don't know.

That's all I got this week.

Did I tell you about Sage telling me she was moving?

No.

Yeah, Sage.

Really?

Yeah, Sage.

We were at Pam's house for, what was it?

It might have been Halloween or something.

I think it was Thanksgiving.

No, it was.

No, no.

Thanksgiving was a middle house.

Okay, so you're confusing.

You're

fucking November.

No, we're at her house for some reason.

We were having pizza, and Sage came up.

It was me, Mary Beth, Pam, and Edgar.

Oh, we just went there for dinner one night.

And Sage, and Sage came upstairs

and sat down at the dinner table, and she's very upset.

And she said that she's like, This isn't easy, this is hard for me to say.

She goes,

But when I turn 21, I'm moving to L.A.

And I said, Really?

I was like, What are you going to do in L.A.?

And she's like, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model.

But she was like on the verge of tears because she doesn't want to go, but she feels she has to.

You got plans for that room?

Oh, yeah.

I immediately started stripping the walls with her posters and shit.

Tell him, Steve, Dave.
