#512: Sack Window

Thanks for money, I can't make that sweet pussy.

You're buying no

cryptozoic creatures, though, left and right.

That's what makes America awesome.

Oh, it makes it beautiful, bro.

You can give your opinion about pop culture without worrying about getting ripped apart.

That's what makes America awesome.

I'm not going to go that far.

Tell him Steve Dave.

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

I'm here with Walt.

Yo.

Unfortunately, though, not here with Q.

No.

I'm far, far away.

Like

20 minutes.

No, I mean, I was on my way there, but I couldn't even get off Staten Island.

It was taking me as long as it normally takes me to get there, to even get to the bridge.

And I was like, why the fuck am I doing this to myself?

I can just turn around and zoom in

rather than come there all frustrated and like pissed off and shit.

The pandemic's taught the world that, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I prefer coming in.

I don't know if you're not there anymore.

Birthday parties, weddings, funerals.

Like, there are people who zoomed into Mellow's funeral.

Really?

To watch it, yeah.

I can see that.

I mean, it is good in one way.

I mean, it's very Jetson-like.

It is.

And you don't have to dress up.

Well, at least for a while.

You're going to dress up for a second.

From the waist up, you do.

Just put a shirt on with a tie and then underwear, yeah.

I hear you.

How many people got caught, though, during the pandemic with like

jerking off and stuff.

Well, I was going to say,

it's not that many that got caught jerking off.

As many who are wearing pajama bottoms, I was going to say.

But there were a few people who did get caught, you know,

fondling themselves.

Riding dirty.

Yeah, or others.

There was a case in Chicago, I think, where some guy was abusing his niece or something.

Oof,

oh,

was abusing his niece, and he I guess he didn't know that she was on the camera with the school, you know, with the teacher.

So he came in and started, you know, being abusive and shit, and then they busted him from that.

Oh, good.

Oh, that's good.

That's working out.

Zoom's helping people.

I think the

biggest news of the week

is

your boy T12.

TB12 is coming back.

Yeah, I mean,

strange.

I would love to be an insider.

I'll give anything to be an insider to what's going on in that camp because it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to retire for less than a month and come back.

Something else had to be at play, in my opinion.

I agree.

And do you think, because there are people who are calling for him to

reimburse the guy who bought the final pass football, the final touchdown pass football.

He bought it for $500,000?

$500,000.

Half a million?

Yeah.

Oof.

Is that his responsibility, though?

I mean, if he wanted to be a stand-up guy and be like, it would mean nothing to him to do it.

I mean, if I was Tom Brady, yeah, I would feel horrible for that guy.

So I probably would if I had TB12's money.

But, I mean, it's really not his responsibility what somebody's willing to pay for a piece of sports memorabilia, is it?

Well, no, it's not.

Because I thought about this, but I'm like,

and we'll never know.

When he announced his retirement, did he know, like, in a month, I'll be fucking unretired anyway?

I think he did.

So if he really?

Yeah, I think this was some sort of orchestrated plan that just did not go

to the, you know, how he thought it was going to go.

Something is fishy in Denmark or in Tampa Bay.

You don't think he just

made the decision, then retired and was like just feeling good and like still working out and shit?

And he's like, I wish I I hadn't done it.

And Giselle probably walked in in a bikini or something.

Was like, well, then why don't you

just go back?

I'm just hoping.

I'm hoping for his sake and our sake that she walks around in bikinis all day.

And it's like, well, then just go back.

You know how, like, you know, your wife could be like, well, then just fucking go.

You know what I mean?

Like, stop complaining about this.

And he did it.

That is certainly not enough time, in my opinion, to have

thought you made the wrong decision.

To me, like it, there is something else that was going on, whether it was a power move to try to get the team to trade his rights, and the team just dug their heels in and was like, No, we're not going to trade your rights.

If you come back and play, you're playing for Tampa Bay or nobody.

And

I don't know, but I don't think for a second that he realized in only 20-some days that he was like, you know what, I miss it.

Really?

It's just too quick.

It's just way too quick.

Like, you would have to think the season starts before you're like, I made the wrong decision.

I don't know.

I mean, how long after you left the stash did you feel like you wanted to go back?

Deb shows up in a bikini.

She's like, well.

The thing is, though, though, he had the option to come back, though.

You know, he had like, he's making the call, though, if he wants to come back.

Oh, you don't think it's like he made the retirement and then someone from the Buccaneers was like, look, dude, whatever money we're going to give you, we'll give you three times as much.

Just come back one more time.

I don't think he's motivated by money.

But then what would it be?

What would any of his motivation be?

For one more ring and to just pay it on all those stats to

get them to a point where

maybe they're untouchable at some point, the stats.

But I don't think it's, there's no money on the planet that can, like, let's say one of the worst teams in the league was like, we'll give you more more money than any human being has ever made throwing a ball, whether it be any sport.

I don't think he'd go to that team.

I think it's more about getting a ring.

And

I just think he wanted to go to another team, and he thought that he could, he was trying to force the team to do something, and they wouldn't do it.

At a spike, though, I would think he wouldn't come back at all then.

So it's surprising that he's coming back, though, if I'm right.

I could be totally off base here.

Go ahead.

No, no, go ahead.

But to me, it's just like you, I cannot imagine making that decision and then in 30 days, less than 30 days, like reneging on that decision.

The whole thing was software anyway.

It was botched.

Like, you know, it got leaked, the decision, and then he said, you know, I haven't made, actually, that the report was wrong.

I'm not retiring.

But then a day later, he goes, okay, I am retiring.

The whole thing was so

completely fumbled by his camp that I just don't know what was going on because it doesn't feel like it was a legitimate retirement, though.

I don't think it looked good for him

when people are like, hey, what about this guy with the ball?

Like, there are two camps.

People who feel like somehow it's Tom Brady's responsibility.

Because it's not like he bought it from him.

No.

No.

And then there's other people who are like, fuck the guy.

Like the guy, you know, he's an adult to me.

Yeah, he made it.

Well, it's like the Mark McGuire baseball or the same, you know, and then it was broken a year later, the home run record.

Yeah, I mean, if he wants, it's the only reason he gives that money to that guy is for good PR.

There's no other reason.

He put out a call.

I guess he does something with cryptocurrency.

He has like some sort of, and he goes like, hey, ETF, I think it is, or something like that.

How about giving this guy a Bitcoin, which is currently worth about $42,000?

Okay.

All right.

Well, that's pretty good.

It's something.

I mean, he should be grateful for that.

Because I would turn around and turn in that Bitcoin and get at least my 42 grand back of the 50 I spent.

Yeah, like I wonder.

I mean, you have to.

The thing is, everyone's like, Tom Brady has the money.

Whoever's buying a football for half a million dollars also fucking has money.

So don't feel too bad for that guy.

He just made

a poor call.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm afraid to, like, buy an expensive car.

You know what I mean?

Let alone a fucking football that's going to sit on my shelf.

How much money does this this

guy have that he gives trash at half a million?

You're buying no cryptozoic creatures, though, left and right.

That haven't lit the world on fire, Keel.

I mean, you really should have went into cryptocurrency rather than cryptozoic creatures because Crumpy hasn't garnered one ass through the door.

He's got dust all over him.

It's just hard to sell it when, like, the entire entire time you're telling me how much it sucks and now nobody's going to believe it.

It's like, what the fuck, man?

Like, what are people going to come in to see?

I go to the troll to go to the night fair.

Yeah, I put on the robe.

I put on the mask.

Yeah, it is a head scratcher because I thought Crumpy would be the...

Would be the fucking Spanish fly of the airport plaza.

I thought everybody was going to come around for miles to get a picture of crumpy and it just not

has happened i think they can get people can get their heads around the simplicity of the skull you're like it's a skull it's decorated cool like what the fuck is this thing like well it's displayed

i mean this is going to sound like it's planned but it's not you guys haven't heard about this yet what if i told you guys

that i am close to coming um to terms on yet another artifact uh this one involving a serial killer

Oh, yeah?

Oh, well, okay, so this one actually is legit then.

Yeah, it's from a serial killer from the late end of the 1800s, 1890s.

Not Jack Ripper.

No, no, no, it's an American, an American,

like a Pennsylvanian area one.

Oh, really?

So not H.H.

Holmes either, right?

Because he

was in Chicago, I think.

It's not a particularly well-known one.

You know what I mean?

It's just some guy that used to kill some people on railroads

in Pennsylvania and such.

So you're questioning, you're asking us if we think it's a good investment for you.

Based upon your dalliances with skulls and corpses.

And big discourse.

Well, the self corpses.

The skull,

I think we could all admit, is

a success.

Yes.

You know, Crumpy is in the early, it's only been a few months.

The jury's still out.

Yeah, let's not, you know.

Well, what are we talking about there?

Are we talking about a letter from prison?

No, apparently

it's something to do with a nail, like a nail.

This guy used to kill sleeping train workers by like putting a nail in their head and like driving it in.

And then

one of the nails might be coming in my possession.

Like a real, like a railroad spike or like a.

No, that's what I thought too.

No, like an old school, like they look like just a nail.

And he used to like drive them into his victims' heads and then use it.

And they worked on the railroad, then use it, use those nails on projects on the railroad and stuff like that.

So someone has one of the nails, and I'm working on that.

And you're negotiating now to acquire this?

Yes.

Yes.

How much are you willing to pay without getting into

firm numbers?

You know, I mean, you know,

I'm not going to go above 10,000 or anything like that.

I don't know.

I I mean, because like,

you know, you have to put into

the conversation.

Are you going to be able to flip it at a certain point for more than what you paid for it, if that's your goal?

Well, I thought the goal was to light airport plaza on.

Oh, you want to bring this here?

Yeah,

I thought we were going to display all the oddities and curiosities there.

Oh, okay.

It's like having one of those Jesus nails, right?

Yeah, so you want to turn it into an oddity and serial killer museum.

Well, that's a weird turn.

No, we can label it as a curiosity.

Oddity and curiosity.

Yeah, apparently.

Yeah, I have them sending me all the information that they have on this killer because I don't want to get bamboozled here.

Yeah.

You know, I want to check the pedigree on this.

So I'll be getting facts and figures in shortly.

So, you know, maybe they'll be on display at Elpwood Plaza very shortly.

And this is a nail that actually was in someone's skull.

In someone's skull, then used, I think, in a roofing, like he put it in a roof or something like that.

Oh, so he would drive them in and then take them.

And then take them back.

Take them back and then use them when he was like building.

He didn't work the railroads with the spikes.

He built like, you know, when you pull into like a station and there's like a coal depot that drops the coal in.

He built those structures.

Okay.

So apparently this nail is from one of those structures that they that they know he used.

This is a guy from Pennsylvania.

It was in Pennsylvania, yeah.

So so you know, hey, man, is the nail haunted?

I don't know.

Maybe it is.

Maybe it is.

So, yeah, so that, you know, so maybe Crumpy,

maybe Crumpy gets a resurgence.

People come in and they come to see the nail and they're like, wait, what's this thing?

And then, you know.

And then we have Crumpy minifigures for sale at the front desk, you know.

Crumpy keychain or the nail keychain.

Oh, yeah, the nail would be easy.

To reproduce the nails,

yeah,

yeah.

So I'm excited.

And now, where would now?

This again is

through the

Underground Railroad, that is, the night fair.

This was not the night fair.

This was

someone I met at the night fair reached out to me.

Had something that sometimes if you go to the night fair, you pay.

I don't buy anything.

you'll see well we'll take a look at it we'll take a look at it okay you know yeah are do you uh what do you think of those murder abilia sites

i i mean

look saying this is a guy that's buying a nail that was driven into someone's skull uh i don't like it i don't think it's right um

i mean i understand if you want like a painting like one of john wayne gacy's paintings or something like that like i could see hanging that on the wall wall and being like, whoa, that's fucked up.

But like a murder fucking,

like a knife or something like that?

I don't really think that.

I think it's a lot of

letters,

signed photos, stuff like that.

I don't think that they actually sell weapons

that people would stab somebody else with.

Yeah, I mean, I guess I wouldn't be interested in that.

I mean, maybe to read the letters, but that would be kind of crazy.

That would be interesting.

Yeah,

I think it's totally

dependent upon how old the crime is.

It really makes a difference.

Like, Lizzie Borden shit, people are just like, it was so long ago, it probably never even happened.

But, like, something like from the 90s on is just like, it's really in poor taste, though, to have like

memorability about murders

that were committed, you know, in relatively recent times.

But anything over 100 years almost feels like, you know,

it may or may not have happened.

You could almost fool fool yourself into like it's just a

fictional.

Like when we went to that paranormal place, and she's telling the stories, you're like, this sounds like a story.

Also, like, if it's older, you're like, well, this is historical.

Whereas if it's from three years ago,

you're a weirdo.

I'm like, guys, it's a bullet shell from Sandy Hook.

You guys want to display this?

Where are we going to put this?

That would be a little weird.

But we can do it with a nail.

Could do it with a nail.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Could do it with a nail.

That happened in like 1910 to some

nameless.

It was a late 1800.

It was like 18 in the 1890s.

There wasn't even electricity.

Sure, there was.

Oh, okay.

I was trying to paint a picture of that.

Like, it was so primitive back then.

Like, you know, it's not weird at all.

Benjamin Franklin had an electrified fence, didn't he?

When was electricity introduced

to to the common man?

That's a great, that's a great question.

I didn't think it was the 1800s, though.

Oh, for sure.

Really?

That sure had to be that, right?

I thought they were still lighting lampposts by,

you know, with torches and shit.

No, there were skyscrapers in New York City in 1912.

I mean,

1900s, I would think electricity is common, but for some reason, I think 1800s, I don't think electricity.

Well, you're kind of right, Walt.

1882, Edison helped form the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York, which brought electric signs, electric light to parts of Manhattan, but progress is very slow.

Most Americans still lit their houses with gaslight and candles for another 50 years.

Woof.

And only in 1925 did half the homes in the U.S.

have electric power.

So it was a very like, it was there, but it was not, you know, it was like probably like the beginning of the internet where some people had internet and most people didn't, you know.

Yeah.

All right.

So when do you think you'll know if you're, are you bidding against somebody else?

No, no.

We're actually, you know, we're on friendly terms.

I don't think, I don't think we're talking a lot of money.

I really think we're talking like more like hundreds rather than

you could also ask the person if we could have it on loan.

Oh, yeah, maybe.

Well, I think that they're

I think they're looking to sell it.

I think it was like seven or eight eight hundred bucks, but I think that because it's like one, it's kind of hard to prove it.

You know what I mean?

He swears he can.

And then two, you know, I mean,

nobody knows a killer.

It's not like it's a famous killer or anything like that.

You can do some sort of like DNA test to see if there's any traces of blood on it.

Yeah, we could do that.

You want to pay for that?

I think anyone

anyone

dabbling and wants to verify if this is true or not would probably demand that the seller

perform the test on their dog.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's not up to you to prove it.

Right.

I mean, it's just been, I think it's been in a roof for 100 years.

I don't know that it's going to have.

Maybe, who knows?

I'm getting all the info.

I'll have the full thing to bring in within a few weeks.

But how do you think this?

How do you think this

kind of like makes

your fan base?

Is it too morbid for the thing of BQ into such weird shit?

Or do you think it's just like lovable?

Oh, BQ and his

weird, dark tastes.

But if, like, me or you did it.

Just want to lock him with his nail.

It was in somebody's head, you know?

I don't think anybody in society holds me up in any special manner or anything like that.

I don't feel.

I don't think people would be shocked by that.

Oh, okay.

But you're not worried that you might be

becoming the morbid joker.

Right, from lovable to people are like, what's wrong with him?

Somebody should look into this completely.

They get that Michael Jackson vibe where you're buying

elephant man skeletons.

Yeah.

You've got a chimpanzee.

No, that would be awesome.

If he had a chimp and he brought it around with him.

Oh, my God.

yeah.

No, I don't think we're there yet.

I don't think.

Yeah, I think it's definitely not.

It's a hobby.

I'm not allowed to hobbies.

Exactly.

It's absurd.

Nobody cares.

I don't think anybody cares.

I had a question which falls right into

this

conversation.

I wrote, what's the general consensus if Mary Beth dies due to, quote, natural causes, end quote, and I immediately order no autopsy and a cremation.

So, what's the natural causes?

I don't know.

They're like,

I woke up one day and I'm like, she's dead.

And they're like, you know, they do a brief, you know.

Isn't her father a doctor?

He is, yeah.

I don't think legally he would be the one who.

No, no, no, no, not at all.

But, I mean,

I think their family would be pretty suspect.

They fight me on it.

Yeah.

You know, I would just assume that you wanted to move on with your life as quick as possible because you're heartbroken.

Right.

That's what I think.

Hours later, basically.

Minutes later.

Within 72 hours, I want to be moving on.

I'm just happy to see my boy getting on with his life.

That's all.

I saw one of those ID shows, and that was, you know, I mean, that's not uncommon.

It seems like that happens here and there.

Oh, yeah.

When there's a,

like, all of a sudden, then it turned out he was dating a stripper or paying for a stripper's apartment.

Right, yeah.

Not dating.

He wishes.

Yeah,

he was putting the bill for her apartment.

The love of that shitty crooked house because he was buying apartments for two other strippers.

Yeah, that's when it looks real bad.

There was one where a guy

said he found his wife drowned in like a hot tub or something or in a toilet or some shit.

I can't remember.

When they look a little bit deeper into it, it's like, sure enough, he's like hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

He's obsessed with this stripper that he's given cars and money and all this other stuff to.

And I'm like,

what,

as you're doing it, aren't you thinking like, this is not going to work out?

Well, I'm going to get caught.

I'm going to get caught.

Like, that's how I would be feeling.

Like, there's like, I don't care how careful I was.

I missed something, you know.

I think you're blind in love, right?

So you're like, rational thought is out the way.

Well, I mean, at the very least, rational thought is gone because you're planning to kill somebody.

Yeah.

Well, it's almost like a drug because, like,

when I used to do drugs, like, all I could think of was like, when's the next time I'm going to do drugs?

When's the next time I'm going to have drugs?

And this is probably how this guy is thinking.

Like, how do I get more money for her?

You know?

Fuck.

Because if I don't have, at least he's cognizant enough that he realizes if he doesn't have money, she's not interested.

She's the fuck off, dude.

And like that, like on a

daughter,

I can't make that sweet puzzle.

Yeah, I would never even assume that I would get away with the fucking dating a stripper behind anybody's back face.

I'd be like, I'm not getting away with any of this.

Strippers, like, look, I don't know if we have any strippers who listen.

I sure hope so, and this isn't like aimed at you, but they're not known for being the most balanced people.

they also don't want that that gravy train to stop though so they're willing to uh you know keep mum until it suits them or right exactly yeah oh man i'm i'm uh you've heard of we talked about this brent iceberg slim did we talk about this the pimp i think so i'm familiar i'm familiar with him but i don't know if we talked okay i just started reading his books um and i just got through his first book pimp and walt iceberg slim was this black guy in the 19 you know he's born born in the 1940s.

He was a pimp all through the 60s and stuff like that.

And like in 1969, he wrote a book about what it was like to be a pimp and these women that you're talking about who aren't like the most stable fucking women in the world and dealing with them.

And it is the coldest fucking shit I had ever read in my entire life.

It was fucking horrifying.

Is this what they base Dolomite on?

Yes, Dolmite.

Everything.

Mac, who was the Return of the Mac?

What was the

Richard Pryor one movie he made?

Oh, Jojo Dancer?

No, there was one where he played a pimp.

Anyway, they're all basically based on this guy in the life.

Like, he, when he was starting a pimp in the early 60s, like, he met this other pimp.

They all had awesome nicknames, right?

Like, Sweet Baby and Glass Top and all this shit.

And

so he meets this pimp named Sweet, who's the baddest pimp in all the land, right?

And he's got a fucking, like, a leopard, like an oscalot, like one of those fucking wild creatures, cats, on a fucking diamond chain, like a gold chain with diamond-studded fucking things.

And he, the pimp just walked, drove around with his fucking

wild animal.

Yeah, and he was like, it was just, and all his fucking whores were, like, scared of it and shit like that.

Its name was Miss Peaches.

It's all fucking insane.

And it's just one horrible, depressing story after the other about, like, these fucking women and the lifestyle.

And yeah, I don't know, man.

I guess something you just said about

the strippers let me into it, man.

But it was crazy shit.

I meant to ask you about it, Brian.

Yeah, the Richard Pryor movie is called The Mac.

The Mac.

Yeah.

What year was that?

74, I think I'd said.

Let me see.

73.

Yeah, that book came out in 69.

And even the Chappelle stuff that he did, the Player Haters Ball,

is so based on the lifestyle in this book that I was kind of blown away by it.

It was fucking absurd, man, but also really, really depressing.

So I just started reading his shit.

I didn't really have anywhere to go with that.

I just, the stripper thing lit something in my head.

Well, no, I understand what you're saying.

It's like it takes a certain type of person.

I mean, they're human traffickers, really.

It's fucking nice.

You just have to be heartless and be like, dude, you care about this woman as a person.

In fact, she's not a person.

No,

he wanted to convince this one woman.

It was called this bottom girl.

Apparently, like in a pimp stable, the number one girl is called the bottom girl because she's his foundation.

And he wanted to lock her in because he felt that she was kind of like starting to sway.

There's big competition between pimps stealing other people's pimps, apparently,

whores.

So like what he did is he took her away.

First, he started mailing money to his house from a local like FedEx type place, convincing this woman.

He would take her money, go to FedEx, mail it to himself, then take the money out of the envelope and say that he had another whore on the other part of town that was earning more money than her.

So he would use her own money against it.

But then when she started slipping out of control, he brought her on some trip with him and

faked an attack on her.

And she hit the guy, but it was an actor that he paid.

So the guy pretended to be dead.

Another actor he paid to be a doctor came in, declared the first actor dead, said the cops are going to want to talk to the whore.

And the pimp was like, Look, baby, I could take care of this for you.

But, like, you got to understand, like, you know, you're my girl from now on.

So he made this woman fucking believe that she killed someone and that he knew about it to secure her loyalty.

It was fucking shit like that in every chapter.

It was like fucking out there, man.

It was crazy shit.

Like,

nobody would write and publish this book today.

Like, I'm going to get Beyond canceled.

I'm going to get fucking shot into the sun.

It was fucking bananas.

Apparently, he wrote five books, and I just read the first one over my, uh, when I was away last week.

So, did he ever pay for his crimes?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

He went to jail so many times, and then

he escaped from jail one time, and he took you through that process, and it was the first time he ever revealed it.

Like, he escaped from jail, got caught 10 years later, sent back to that prison, and the warden was like, How did you get out?

He refused to put him, he refused to tell him.

So, we put him in solitary confinement for a year until he broke and he wouldn't break.

He served out his year and got out without breaking.

He says when he walked out of the prison, the whole place went nuts.

And the first time ever he revealed how he escaped was in the book.

It was pretty cool.

Like you were a little bit like, because of course the warden's like a fuck a piece of shit.

So you're glad that he doesn't find out how the guy got out and shit.

So you know how he got out?

Yeah, he walks you through it.

I don't spoiler it, but should the warden have figured it out or was it so elaborate and so crazy that like, the warden could never have known?

The warden never would have known because of a stroke of luck.

When he closed the door behind them, um, there was like one of those hook latches, and uh, just by pure fucking luck, he closed the door and the hook latch fell into place.

So, they never considered one of the doors he used as a possible escape route because there's no way he would have been able to lock it from the other side.

So, um,

so because of that one hook latch, they never figured out how he got out.

It all centered around that one door.

Yeah, it was pretty fucking crazy.

Yeah, it's a crazy book, man.

I recommend it to anybody who wants to be really fucking amazed and depressed at the same time.

It didn't seem like life was going well for Icebergs when we last checked in with him.

Oh, no.

No, he got married.

Well, he left the game.

He got married.

He got too old.

He's like, I just, he goes, these young pimps are fucking vicious.

He's like, I can't even keep up with them anymore.

Because he would also describe the way that the pimps would get each other hooked on heroin to get them out of the game.

Like, it's so fucked up, the book.

And,

you know, but then there's a cool side, too, where he's driving down fucking the south side of Chicago in a car full of fucking, you know, what appears to be white,

exclusively white hookers at one point, just driving around in a Cadillac.

And you're like, I don't know, life seems pretty good for the guy.

There was a big, that was a big thing about it, too.

They were like,

there was this

one pimp who hated white people so much that he loved to pimp out white girls.

Like, Like, it's all this crazy shit, man.

That, like, it's a world I just never even, I guess, imagined existed.

That's what I always feel like whenever, like, there's shows with people are like, there's a show called Disappeared.

And at the end, there's no resolution.

It's just like, here's what happened.

And then, you know, she went missing.

And I always, they think almost exclusively like human trafficking.

Like, it's just like, I don't know how they do it.

I don't know how you snatch somebody up off.

I guess just fear.

You're just using fear and drugs, probably, to keep it in mind.

I don't know.

I mean, could you imagine that's how you make your fucking living?

I was going to say it's not a desirable vocation.

Yeah, it sounds like fun.

What do you do with yourself at night when you're lying in bed?

You just don't think about the young women you've kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery?

It's like, how do you not?

Because at like your job or

like here at the office, it's like, think, well, I don't know, maybe a little bit more at the office, but I was like, think about how often you're mean to someone.

Like,

you might get him some shit here and there, but you're not genuinely mean to him.

No, no, no.

You know, and that's what your job is, if you're a fucking pimp, is to be, to be a horrible person.

That's essentially your job description.

Yeah, it didn't seem fun.

Walt,

not to change the topic completely, but you saw and liked the Batman.

I adored The Batman up until probably ending.

So, like, was it almost three hours?

So, I think two and a half hours of it, I really dug.

I felt the ending,

they didn't stick it.

You know, it kind of like,

but that doesn't mean I can't overlook how much I enjoyed the first two hours or two and a half hours or however long it was.

Well, what did you score too?

I loved the score.

The score was cool.

Oh, my God.

That was like a score out of the 80s.

It was just so powerful.

And

boy, was that a great score.

And what did I like about it?

I liked, I thought the costume was fantastic.

I thought Batman looked really good with the longer ears.

Yeah, how'd you feel about the clunky boots that made a lot of noise for a guy who wants to hide around his shop?

Oh, intimidating.

I think when he's clunking them, he's doing it on purpose.

He's like he wants people to hear it.

But when he does want them to hear it, then he's light on his toes.

Oh, his twinkle toes.

Yeah.

He's making those boots clunk when he wants them to clunk so that perps can hear him coming.

I thought, yeah, I thought the,

like I said, I thought the tone was awesome.

I thought the dark,

you know, sinister vibe.

I mean, that first time we see Gotham from that faraway shot, that claustrophobic gray with neon light,

like kind of like the contrast between how gray everything looks, but along with the neon lights of Gotham, just took my breath away.

I fucking loved this movie until the end.

Until the end.

Did you get the sense?

I mean, like, when, like, I found Catwoman to be so

completely devoid of any sexual energy towards Batman that when she kissed him in the end, I was literally like,

I thought they were doing, yeah, I was like, I thought they were doing a thing where Catman and Catwoman and Batman didn't fucking want to fuck the entire time.

I was like, there was zero chemistry, I thought, between them at all.

Do you know, like, a lot of people who see it have different takes on everything?

I have never seen so many people have so many different takes on a movie than this movie personally that I've come into contact with.

My daughter went to go see it, and I said, well, what do you think?

And, you know, she doesn't like superhero movies.

I've seen maybe one or two, but her friend wanted to go, so she went.

And she's the thing that I found odd that she was fixated on was Catwoman.

Like, she thought

she was a nah-hole because, you know, she kind of just like she thought that she was romantically involved with the girl who was killed that she was searching for.

So for her then to kiss Batman, it was kind of a betraying

the

relationship of the of the girl that she was looking for.

And I was just like,

that's weird that you saw that, and that's all you could take from that movie.

Go to your room.

I go, like, what about the music?

What about the score?

Didn't it shake your chest?

Like, didn't it just shatter your bones?

And, like, when he, when the Batmobile came out, how about that chase scene?

She was just like,

I really like the new Batmobile.

Oh, I loved it.

You know, how about the new Batmobile Q?

You had to love it.

I loved the pictures of it when it came out.

I was like surprised how much I thought it resembled

a dune buggy

on screen when it was moving.

I thought it was going to be more of a muscle car from the pictures I saw, but I don't know.

And then I was just like, that chip, I was like, I didn't understand.

I didn't understand the chase scene because I was like, wait, what's, I was like, Penguin just shot him and he's on the floor, but he got 200 feet away to start a car and turn on the lights and then rev the engine three times.

I was like, what's, I don't know what's happening right now.

Like, what's, what's going on?

Somebody's out there shooting people.

And then, and then the chase scene, I was like.

Yeah, though, you remember like when Nolan did it and it was fucking awesome?

And then like at the end, the tank was there and it fucking exploded and a motorcycle came out, and the chase kept going.

I was like, I don't know.

I just, I don't know.

I think I got to see it again, man.

I think I got to see it again.

Yeah, so you're, you were left wanting?

The take on the Riddler,

I didn't love.

No.

But this has always been a guy you, like, the Riddler has been a character you've loved.

I love Riddler.

I fucking love Riddler.

This doesn't surprise me, though, that, you know, that because you have strong feelings about how he should be portrayed.

Well, and then the logic of it, too, is like, I just didn't get to me, I was like, well, hold on.

So, he wants to kill Marconi and he wants to kill

or Falcone and he wants to kill

the DA and he wants to kill the mayor.

And then he wants to kill the kid that was nine years old when his father did something.

I was like, wait, what?

I was like, I don't understand.

But someone's got to pay for the sins of the father.

Right.

But I was like, but why?

Who said that?

But it it was like such a leap of logic.

I was like, so then is he now going to kill the kids of the guy in the DA office?

Because they got to pay for his father's sins?

I was like, I just didn't understand.

And then I was like, well, why didn't, since they were obviously making Alfred like a shady character, like, why not just be him trying to kill Alfred?

And that's what Bruce Wayne is trying to get him for to save his friend.

I was like, he ended up in the fucking hospital anyway.

He got blown up anyway.

Why not make him the target instead of just mailing a letter to Bruce Wayne Wayne and knowing it's going to get to him like a billionaire opens his own mail?

I don't know.

I just, I didn't like the Riddler.

That cameo at the end actually just fucking annoyed me.

The Joker.

Oh, I didn't want to say it because,

yeah, I was just like, when I saw that, I was like, oh, fuck you.

I was like, I'm not doing this.

I was like, I'm not doing it.

I was like, I'm not sitting here for this version of The Joker now, too.

I was like, I just won't do it.

I loved Penguin.

Fucking loved Penguin.

Penguin to me felt like he was in a Batman movie, if that makes sense.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, loved it.

You know.

What'd you think of the guy who played Batman?

I know this, but he's very polarizing, it sounds like.

Here's the thing.

I like him.

Like, I like him as an actor.

I never saw the Twilight movies, but everything I've seen him in since then, I've been really impressed.

So I'm excited.

To see his take on Batman, but I just didn't understand the choice to make Bruce Wayne the exact same as Batman.

Just take off the hood.

And he still walks and talks and says the same thing when the guy opens a door and he says the same exact fucking thing that he said the night before as Batman.

I was like, well,

I think that's the common complaint about

the portrayal of Bruce Wayne.

It's like a lot of people are echoing what you say.

It's like, well,

they didn't like the way he did Bruce Wayne, but I'm kind of just like,

I'm willing to just allow, you know, to take a different take for once on Bruce Wayne, who I find to be completely boring anyway when there's a fucking Batman movie.

I'd rather not be any Bruce Wayne.

Little of Bruce Wayne as possible is fine with me.

So I didn't care that

he was a kind of a

he couldn't pull off Bruce Wayne yet.

And maybe, maybe that's still early on.

People are bitching about him not pulling, you know, not landing in the bat suit.

I mean, obviously, it was the first time he had ever jumped from a building.

Any landing you could walk away from is a fucking phenomenal landing from jumping from a fucking skyscraper.

And people are like, oh, he's such a bad Batman, he can't even land.

And I was like, What the fuck?

Well, that wasn't my problem with that scene, was just how fucking stupid it looked.

It wasn't that he fell and got hurt and stuff like that.

I thought that was the worst shot of the movie with the GoPro on the fucking helmet as he's going through the air.

I was like, Come on, man, we could have cut this out and saved three minutes.

I like Patterson, though.

I may not have been the biggest fan of the movie, but I do like him, and I like his Batman when he was in suit.

I would certainly be excited to go see where he goes next with the character.

Yeah, if that reminded me of it, it reminded me of like Full Metal Jacket in as much as

you have the first part of Full Metal Jacket, and you feel like that's the movie, and then you feel like a second movie starts.

Yeah, and like after they were in Arkham, they were in Arkham, right?

Riddler, and like after that, I thought that's when it was going to end.

It should have ended there, but no, there was a lot more to go.

Yeah, they set up No Man's Land and everything like like that.

That's what it was for to set up a...

I don't know.

It felt like it was kind of solved.

And it really wasn't that

a monumental.

I've lived through a flood,

a horrific flood that destroyed, you know,

and

there's not much going to be more for Batman to do.

Then you need FEMA and you need contractors and you need builders.

You don't really need superheroes in the aftermath of

a Sandy.

Unless it's Superman.

It's not going to, I don't think, I'm fairly certain they were setting up no man's land because he didn't, the place didn't get flooded, he blew the sea walls.

Like,

it's not flooded.

It's like, it's Venice, man.

You know what I mean?

Like, the sea.

I thought that's kind of like those neighborhoods.

I didn't get the ramifications of how bad it was then.

Yeah, I mean, it flooded the whole city.

You didn't

have tidal waves going through.

But then it seemed very shortly after that.

Cars were riding around.

Yeah.

You know, and they were able to get out of the city on their motorcycles.

I think that was, oh, that was another thing, too.

Like, what the fuck?

Like, if it's raining,

maybe don't ride the motorcycle.

Like, everybody fucking rode motorcycles in the rain in this movie.

I couldn't get past it.

I was like,

no, I think that was a different part.

I think it's just that area of Gotham

got flooded.

That's what I thought they were doing.

I could be wrong.

What do I know?

But that's what Riddler did

when he kicked it off the year one storyline

that Caputo did with

he blew the sea walls, and that's how Gotham, or one of the things he did, was blow the sea walls.

That's how Gotham got all no man's land.

There was no real establishing that they were under sea level, too, Gotham, before the movie.

Before that was even introduced.

Like, you had no idea that

they were underwater.

Not underwater, but the city was below the table.

Yeah, like there was no

setting up of that.

No, not at all.

To me, it looked like it was maybe like waist-deep water.

I mean, it was tidal waves going through the streets.

I think, I don't know.

Dude, what do I know, man?

I got to go rewatch it anyway.

Yeah,

I really dug it, you know, but you know, but there again, there's like things that I seem to always fall on the other side.

Like, when people love something dramatically, I'm always surprised because I'm like, well, I really didn't dig that that much.

And this one, you know, there's a lot of criticism of it, but I really liked it.

Yeah, so

I'm usually the one that's wrong.

Well, to me, it's just like everything I kept hearing was like, it's, it's, oh, finally, Batman's a detective.

And I'm like, guys, like, having to mope around the crime scene for fucking three minutes is not being a detective.

Like, he didn't do any detecting.

He just stared at shit and then fucking said something out loud.

You're like, I don't know.

Is that really?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I love that they allowed, you know, that this was setting up the first time ever ever that we're seeing like a segment of the police allowing Batman to have access to crime scenes.

I thought that was cool.

And, you know, some of the police are very, you know, hostile, you know, don't feel he has any right to be there.

I thought that was a cool dynamic that we haven't seen in a movie before.

Yeah, no.

I agree with you.

There was a lot that I liked about it.

I think I was just, I was more head scratching about certain choices.

I was just like, I don't understand why you wouldn't make Catwoman sexy, why you wouldn't make fucking, why you wouldn't make Bruce Wayne be like different from Batman?

Like, why the Riddler wouldn't be, I don't know, the Riddler,

you know, stuff like that.

Do you think that those kind of lenses that he was using exist?

Oh, those contact lenses?

Do you think they actually are real world

technology or do you think that was just movie technology?

What were you going to say, Q?

I think I've heard about it, right?

Like, it's coming.

And it's so fucking badass.

When he was talking to her and when she was wearing the contacts in the in the club and he was like stare at him i need to look at his face yeah i just loved him and it was i just really dug i i thought his voice was good too whereas you know the the the other guy the last guy that did i can't remember his name christian bell yeah like you know i was kind of like oh god when he spoke i was just like almost cringy but i feel he he did he had the perfect amount of like

uh gar like growl and not like where it was ridiculous yeah i liked his voice i'll give you that i don't know about the the narration with the journals, but yeah.

I did think he looked young.

Like, to me, he looked a little bit too young to be

Playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Like, I always imagine an older guy, I guess, because we've always seen him as an older guy.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, this was year two.

I mean, he was supposed to be young and in the start of his career.

Oh, is that it?

I just.

No, I just wanted to have fun in the next movie.

Like, just a little bit of fun.

Oh, no.

No.

That's what the Marvel Universe is for.

That's what the MC is.

No, you know.

Not the character, the actor.

Like, I would like the actor to have fun.

I don't need Batman to be out there having a good time.

But why do you think the actors didn't have a good time?

Is that something that came out?

No, no, not at all.

In fact, I heard the opposite.

I heard it was a pretty fun set to work on.

But

it just, I don't know.

It was so dour the whole time.

Like, I never got the sense that, like, even between the I mean, I think that was what was missing for me between, look, look at those two.

I mean, Robert Patterson and Zoe Kravitz, they look like a fucking million bucks.

So, to have no, there was no anything in between them that to me made it look like they even enjoyed each other's company.

Like,

I don't know.

It just wasn't much chemistry.

Yeah, for me, for me.

So, I think maybe like even the Keaton, like, Pfeiffer one, like, I mean, she's licking his face.

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, they're doing fucking things that, I don't know, just, it didn't seem like they were ever.

I think there was a definite move to not make her

just like

a sexualized

woman villain, you know, or like I just feel that there was a real cognizant effort to not like play her up as a like a like a sexualized catwoman.

Yeah, and I understand that that's a that's a choice that might work for a lot of people, but like that's not the character of Catwoman.

Catwoman's supposed to be so fucking hot that even Batman can't keep his fucking head straight around her.

Like, he's got to try.

I mean, that's the way it is.

He's got to want to fuck Catwoman so badly that even Batman fucks up.

It's just like, that's what the character is.

I mean, am I wrong?

Like, that's what the character has always been.

So it's like, why?

I don't think you're.

Like, you're not making a state.

Like, there's nothing wrong with the character of Catwoman.

She's not anti-feminist.

She's not, like,

this is one of the most most beloved, respected characters in comics.

Like she's, it's

you don't need to save her.

Man, you're walking that Tyropa, making her like this sexual, like that's her only personality trait.

But that's not sexual.

It's not.

But that's what it has been in the past, though.

No, that's not true.

That one with the blonde, what you were just talking about, with Keaton?

Yeah, Michelle.

I mean, it was like she barely did anything but act like

a maniac and then lick people's faces.

That's not true at all.

She got Hallie Barrier.

I don't even know if anybody

remembers that one.

But she got thrown out of a building.

She fucking started blackmailing Max Shrek.

Like, she came back and took revenge on the boss who tried to kill her.

There was a whole arc there.

She blew up Max Shrek's store just to get revenge.

Like, she wasn't just that.

They just remembered to also put Michelle Pfeiffer in a fucking gorgeous album.

Yeah, I don't know.

Because that's what the character is.

It's dramatic in 2022, just being

because she wasn't all about the catsuit.

My point is the character is inherently tied to a certain amount of va-va-vum sexuality.

I don't think the character, for me, works without it.

And that's not...

Like, just,

like, make it Batgirl.

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, make it any character that's not, like...

Like, a sexualized component hasn't been an important part of the character from day one, step one.

Like, to remove that, you might as well remove the name Catwoman because it's just not the character.

I don't know.

That's how I I felt.

Is Poison Ivy the same way, kind of?

I feel like she's even more of a

seductress kind of like, you know,

uses your, uses chemicals to make you do things that you normally wouldn't do.

I mean, she's got this skimpy costume.

Yeah, but there have been versions of Poison Ivy that haven't relied on that.

And she hasn't been that for a long time, really.

Once they were like, somebody was like, hey, man, it's not really cool that she basically Spanish flies men to get them to do what she wants.

Somebody said that like in the early 2000s and everybody changed.

Then she became a doctor and everybody started leaning on that more.

It's like, that's fine.

She doesn't rely on that.

Like, I wouldn't think that you would have to sexy up Poison Ivy at all.

But Catwoman, it's so inherent to the character that it seems silly not to have it to me.

But look, that's just my take on it.

Obviously, the film makes us feel different.

There's a lot of people who are going to agree with you.

Yeah, but there's people who disagree with me and I'm fine with that.

It's not like I'm like like that.

That's what makes America awesome.

Oh, it makes it beautiful, bro.

You can give your opinion about pop culture without worrying about getting ripped apart.

That's what makes America awesome.

I'm not going to go that far.

If you can do that, you can overlook everything else.

It's like making Power Girl without a chest window.

Nobody wants to see it, man.

You'll never see Power Girl on a live screen adaption, I don't think.

Well, there's just no point.

You're right.

There's no point.

anybody who and if because if you champion, you're like, if we gotta have the you know, we gotta have the fucking triple E breasts with a hole in the fabric and to see the cleavage.

If you're like, if you're too loud to cut you must have it, yeah, you're you're gonna get fucking canceled.

Listen, take Batwoman and fucking cover every inch of her body.

It doesn't matter.

Like, you know what I mean?

Like, all I'm saying is it's got to serve the characters.

That's all I'm saying.

Take it away from the boob window does not, her fucking most famous trait does not serve that fucking character at all.

Taking away cat woman's sexuality when the whole relationship with Batman is defined on him wanting to fuck her on a rooftop is just not a bright idea.

I just, I don't like that take on it.

Other people do, and that's, that's, you know, that's fine for them, I guess.

It's like, remember when they took Lobo and then they made him like this slim little dude that was that like he didn't smoke or drink and he was kind of and everybody was like, What the fuck is this?

Get the fuck out.

I mean, Colin Bunn did the best he could with it, but people were like, Get it the fuck out of here.

I don't want it because that's not what Lobo is.

So that's how I feel about Catwoman.

Okay,

that's Brian's Comics Corner.

There you go.

Tell him, Steve, the rest of tell him Steve Dave not necessarily

agrees with that

in case there is fallout.

I'm not getting canceled with it.

I am not touching Power Girl with a 10-foot pole.

Nobody in no studio is going to touch Power Girl with a Pokemon.

How could you say that?

No way.

No way.

If they do, they're going to go the exact opposite just to make sure that

they change the character and the look of it because there's not a chance on a planet in 2022 that you could trot out.

Fucking, what was that girl that used to run out onto the baseball mound and kiss the baseball players?

Oh, fuck.

What was her name?

Remember, that's basically what Power Girl is

With a little red cape, and then you're seeing a hole in her costume so you can see the cleavage, and basically a thong.

And you're like, no one is trotting that character out in 2022.

Unless it's a porn.

People are allergic to money, actually.

Because fucking, that would line up.

Look what they did.

Look, Starfire, you know what?

You are 100% right.

They took Starfire, one of the craziest fucking outfits in comics, and put her in a fucking like fur skin coat on a TV show.

They're like, well, Starfire, she's kind of a Muslim now.

So

meanwhile, she had nothing on but like two fucking pacies on orange skin.

Yeah, it was a metallic bikini.

That I agree.

You know what?

That I'm like, that I didn't, I wasn't like, that I agree with you.

I was like, there's no way they're making that fucking costume for her.

I agree with that.

I think they should, but I understand that they won't.

But I think Power Girl may still

get away with it.

Okay.

You know what you mean?

No, I can't do this here.

The only person that can do it is a female director

who feels the way that I feel.

Well, aren't you friends with Patty Jenkins?

Maybe you can just throw a hikie.

I think your next project should be one Power Girl seller.

Huh.

I'll be like, Patty, how do you feel about boob windows?

But there's one thing I won't budge on.

It's a hill I'm prepared to die on, Patty.

Chewing files.

She's like, well, tell me about the character.

What's her backstory?

I'm like, well, she's Superman's cousin from another reality, but she's got these giant fucking cans.

Hello.

Patty, Patty, I'm willing to give, I'm willing to let go and no-thong.

No, let's

give you that.

I'm a feminist.

It's 2022, Patty.

You've got to be able to see that sweet, sweet cleavage.

You just want to die in there.

You just feel safe when it shows up.

You feel like everything's going to be okay.

She's going to save you.

Yeah, I guess maybe you're right.

I guess I can't really pitch that one.

Has she shown up?

I don't follow new comics anymore.

Has Power Girl shown up in anything recently?

It seems like it's so fucked up to try to trot her out there, even in comics.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I don't know.

Like, I would, I don't know.

From what I hear about today's comics, I don't really follow it.

It seems like there's a...

I thought she's in that

Heroes for Hire thing or something like that.

A vocal community that would probably not be happy about.

Look, man, there was fucking people saying that, like, you know, Joker shouldn't be on the cover of Batgirl.

Remember?

Because it's like.

Right.

It is an insane thing, but, you know, I mean, I just feel like Power Girl would definitely fucking light some fire under people's asses to be upset about it.

Wait, why shouldn't he be on the cover?

Because I guess it was,

you know, I remember.

It was something about glorifying the victim.

Like the gun, yeah, like the gun was to her head or something like that, or sexualized.

I don't know.

People are like, how dare you do that to Bat Girl?

And you're just like,

I don't know.

I mean, I agreed with them.

I was, I fucking remember.

I signed.

I remember signing a petition because I was like, I don't know if this is.

Yeah, like this is sad.

This is insensitive enough for my liking.

Fictional characters.

Fictional characters.

Yeah, these aren't real.

These are just that's a drawing you're getting upset about.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, listen to me.

I've just been ranting about a fucking movie not being sexy enough for the past fucking 15 minutes.

Yeah.

Q, imagine this.

Okay.

You're shopping and nothing fits right.

Does that sound like you're when you go shopping?

Yeah, if I wore anything besides sweatpants and fucking oversized champion sweaters these days, yeah.

Yeah.

Finding the perfect size can be annoying.

Things either fit like a glove or you're straight up not having a good time, and that's why Miyundi's has the softest undies, bralettes, loungewear, and more that are made just to fit right.

To fit just right.

We all wear them.

We don't make a secret of it.

Used to be that it was a big deal.

And remember, the girl asked President Clinton, like, briefs are boxers.

Remember?

Man, much more innocent time.

Yeah.

Now we can have a lot of time.

When a president could fucking stick a cigar inside of

someone and not his wife and

not get hassled.

You got hassled.

This is an hassle, man.

Miundis believes that comfort is more about what's touching your skin.

It's more than what's touching your skin.

It's about feeling comfortable in your skin.

And comfort starts with finding the perfect fit and size for you.

And that's why Miundis wear tests on all sizes, extra small.

It's a 4X for everything they make.

They also offer different cuts for different butts in bold colors to fun and adventurous prints.

And Miundis wants you to find comfort in your size so the world can be a happier and comfier place for everybody.

We've done this commercial how many times over years now.

God, years and years and years.

What new spin can we put on there?

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's just, they're the best.

And they're the best.

And you should try them.

And if because here, here you go.

Dude, while you were reading that, I was looking up Power Girl cosplay.

They can make this work.

They could fucking make that work on television.

That doesn't even look like.

Oh, yeah, that's not bad.

That's not bad.

Yeah, but those are not the

boobs that I remember.

Those are pretty big boobs, bro.

But I remember them being like,

like that.

They're the source of all the the power.

More like, were they?

Yeah, you just can't have a conversation.

Like, you can't have that conversation, like her having an

in-depth conversation on camera with other characters because

it's so distracting.

I don't know about that, man.

She showed us an innocent one.

Look at this.

Look at this one.

I just think you try to say she's delivering a powerful speech against a villain.

Yeah.

Even the villain's just gonna be like, huh, what did you say?

I'm sorry, I was I was staring at your boob window, right?

And then she uses that to her advantage, but everybody in the audience, I think, is also just like not hearing anything she says, Walt.

We're trying to get asses into seats,

trying to make money here.

No, um, yeah, but like, I don't know, man, like, we're not all fucking 12.

I think I could handle, like,

do you not think like you'd be able to?

I can't, like, I can't.

I'm sorry, I just don't admit, like, if I was to be

face to face with somebody who's wearing that costume, there's not a chance that I cannot hear anything they're saying other than like,

don't look at that window.

Don't look at that window.

Oh, my God.

I'm looking at that window.

I know she knows I'm looking at that window.

Oh, my God.

I'm a horrible piece of shit.

I'm looking at the window.

I don't know what she's talking about.

I just have to pretend whatever

I was listening, and hopefully, she doesn't

realize that I didn't hear a word she said.

Or you could just take the Ming route and be like, fuck it.

I'm staring at the window.

I don't care what she's saying.

Oh, man.

I don't know.

I think there's room for fucking power girl in today's society, man.

I think it just has to be led by women.

I'm honest enough to admit, though, that I could not do anything but just be like, oh,

that's true.

If there was a real power girl.

Sir, are you okay?

But there's a lot of people who could pull it off and would not be, you know,

so, you know, have such a

crazy reaction.

They would overlook it and they could have a normal conversation with Power Girl.

Right.

Okay.

Not if they're a straight male.

No, no, there's plenty of.

That's a crazy blanket-ass statement to make.

I think there's plenty of guys.

There's any guy out there whose eyes just don't dart down real fast, like thinking that Power Girl won't catch on.

No, I think there's plenty of straight

dudes who could pull it off and would never even look at the window.

Yeah.

Do you think, like, if she was like, Superman's her cousin, right?

First cousin.

Yeah.

And he's, and now you found yourself in a situation, something like Doomsday got beat in the airport plaza, right?

Parking lot.

And you go out to check out what's going on, and Superman and Powergirl are standing there.

Even Superman standing there with his cousin.

Now, are you extra afraid to be caught looking at Superman's cousin?

Does it become about Superman then?

Who am I going to look at first?

Superman or Powergirl?

No, no, no.

I know you're going to look at Superman first.

I'm just saying, like, he...

No, like, is it even scarier to be near that boob window with Superman around?

Because now, if you do do a glance, you know Superman caught you.

You know what, though?

Superman is, I don't think he's that naive to think that,

you know, that everybody's not checking out the boob window.

He can't hold that against

red-blooded American guys.

Like, if you want to be harassed, don't dress like that, power girl.

I don't know.

I don't think he's going to come down or be gru.

I mean, what's his cousin?

I mean, like, to quote a famous line from a great movie, I don't care if she's my cousin or not, I'm going to knock those boots again tonight.

What movie is this?

That was Clark's.

Every case says that.

It's a great line.

Yeah, it's a great line.

Wow.

You don't think Batman brings Robin around, not like a young Robin around?

You can't bring

a teenager around power, power, you're all right.

It's just going to be too much.

Robin will be tripping all over himself

with that boob window around.

I think that he, you know, he would, he would definitely have to

not

keep him away from seeing such things as that.

You know, if he wants him to be, you know, a normal, functioning adult, you know, you can't deny

well,

you can't deny Dick Grayson of seeing such beautiful, capacious tatas.

I mean, for Christ's sake, you know,

you put him in danger constantly.

At least let him see some titties

while he's doing it.

I mean, he could be fucking pummeled with a fucking crowbar by the Joker at any moment, but you're more worried about him seeing a bunch of big breasts.

I really don't know if Batman's the guy who should be

his guardian if that's his thinking process.

does Superman catch Batman looking?

Sorry, sorry, Brian, go ahead.

No, no, that's a good question.

And what is Superman?

Again, I just think it's like.

No, but will Batman get caught in the boob window?

No way.

He's Batman.

He's Batman.

The dude can fucking disappear like that.

You know, people don't even know where he went.

You don't think he could sneak a peek without getting far?

Come on, Q.

He presses a button and like two sunglass eyes come over his eyes so you can't see where he's looking.

Lead-lined.

Or just fake eyes.

They're staring straight ahead.

I have the fucking sideshow put out a Power Girl statue a few years back.

I have it in a box around here somewhere.

Really?

You made an effort to buy that or was there something given to you?

I think that one was given for me when we were doing the dinner party.

I was putting some in the background and the sideshow saw it.

We're like, oh, we'll send you a bunch.

And I think I got Power Girl.

So I think that's going to be my new fucking favorite one.

That's coming out.

So

let's say you start like you turn into a hood ornament.

Yeah.

My Erotica collection continues.

I was going to say, you become the be-all, end-all Power Girl collector on the East Coast.

Yeah.

Or let's say nationwide, like you have the biggest, most impressive Power Girl collection of comics, memorabilia, just any piece of merchandise.

Do you have to explain it?

Or, like, oh, yeah, I don't know.

All right, all right.

Yeah, I don't think you can explain it, really.

I wish this was on video.

So, because a lot of people are going to have to Google Power Girl because she's not that, you know, I don't think she's a household name in the world of superheroes.

So, but

yeah, for people who are wondering, like, this,

this was a legitimate conversation.

This is not us making shit up.

We didn't create PowerGirl.

Don't blame us.

There's nothing to blame.

It's a great character, man.

I think recently.

In the world of comics.

She's been around a while.

Yeah, she's been around since the 70s.

Yeah.

Yeah, she was involved in crisis and stuff like that, right?

Like she was the only one that remembered pre-crisis history

in the new one.

She had some interesting stories.

And I think that

didn't they do, didn't Quesada or Palmi, who did a, I think Palmiana did a power girl run about 10 years ago.

Yeah.

That was pretty good.

Like, people liked it.

It was tongue-in-cheek.

Like, people were always staring at a boob window, and she was like, hey, man, knock it the fuck off.

Like, I'm up here and shit like that.

You know?

Yeah.

I mean, don't you feel, though, like, let's say you walked around and you had a pair of pants that showcased part of your sack.

Don't you think people would look?

Like, it's just a natural response.

It's a natural human response to check it out.

I mean, I guess your sack, I can know it's a little bit more

unusual.

I just thought like I was thinking.

Well, it's like cut out a little sack window.

No, no, because that would be inappropriate.

Eyes are up here.

But if I was just wearing, like, I've seen some 70s videos where the guys

wear, you know, such tight clothing and pants that you could see the outline of everything.

I just feel that like if you were to do that, you know, when you walk around normal life and walk around around Airport Plaza, yeah, people are going to be like, what do you think is going to happen?

Like, I think people are going to notice that you can see the outline of everything.

And to think that people aren't going to notice, I think, is.

It's unrealistic.

Yeah.

You remember a better

and even fucked up, crazier costume than hers was Phantom Lady.

Is that the right?

Yeah, Phantom Lady.

Very similar.

Oh, I don't know about that, pal.

It was like two strips right over her tits.

Like, it was a crazy thing.

Green and the colours thing.

Yeah, hold on.

Let me see if I can find it.

But, I mean, very similar in the way that it accentuated breasts.

Yeah.

She was around from the 40s.

Yeah, she was like the all-American school.

Cheesecake.

Oh, yeah.

Ultra cheesecake.

She looks pretty good.

Yeah.

Hey, man, there's a reason people drew him that way before everybody started complaining.

Because it fucking, you know,

gets eyeballs.

And that's what you want.

Yep.

That's what you need.

Well, and then fucking people take it too far and nobody can fucking behave and here we are.

No Power Girl movie.

Got one more spot if you boys want to hear.

Wow.

A third spot.

No, it's the second one.

First was Miundi's.

Oh, was it wasn't it something before that no no no okay i'm sorry that's all right uh skincare

i know i was glad you noticed thank you uh thanks to lumen you can drop that bottle of three in one and start using products that actually take care of your skin.

I actually do like skincare products.

I use cream on my face every night, like not cream lotion and all that kind of stuff, but tried lumen.

Actually, I like it.

And lumenol, it's called, right?

No, you're thinking of the stuff that shows up blood after there's a murder.

What's it called?

This is called Lumen.

Oh, yeah.

That's very close to Luminol, though.

It's pretty goddamn close.

Maybe they should have rethought the name.

With Lumen, you get the highest quality products.

All their products aim to help those with stubborn acne scars, under-eye, dark circles.

That's what I got.

Wrinkles, sun damage, dry skin, oily skin, and more.

All of Lumen's products come with instructions, so it's extremely easy and will help protect your skin from potential damage or future acne.

If that's a concern of yours.

Acne at this late stage of the game?

But this is for kids.

This is for young people, too, I guess.

Yeah,

all our young audience members.

You understand?

Listen up, you guys, all you fucking pimple-faced little fucks.

using only the natural ingredients that actually work, like licorice root extract, rose flower oil, charcoal powder, ginger, green tea, and charcoal.

Lumen.

I know.

Hopefully, they're in business next week giving away all that free stuff.

Hopefully,

that was the right copy.

It sounds crazy.

Like, they could be inundated with thousands and thousands of people for a free trial.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know what they give away for free.

It might be, you know, just a small amount.

Oh, okay.

Right.

I don't think they give you away.

Get you hooked.

Yeah.

The only thing, the last thing

I was looking at was

businesses that are worth the wait.

Like, I've seen Starbucks lines and I'm like, they're 20 minutes long.

Drunken donuts line, 20 minutes long.

Chick-fil-A.

Is there a business that you'll say, fuck it, I'll just sit in line?

Because I can't do it.

There is one, and that is when I go to LA

In-N-Out burger.

If I want it, I just got to know I'm going to be waiting online for 15 minutes.

I've never gone to In-N-Out without it, but it's a treat because you're not in LA that often and you don't have it every time you go.

So

I'll wait a good 15 minutes.

But aside from that, nah.

Yeah, I passed this Dunkin' Donuts on our way up here, like up the highway.

In the morning, it's fucking crazy i'm like this has to be a 20 minute line like it spills out onto the highway uh chick-fil-a there's double lines i'm just like

what's so great

what's the alternative though don't eat a donut

i don't know but like your life is miserable you're on your way to work that donut is the only thing that makes that fucking commute like even worth taking at that point.

It's the only good thing about that commute in the morning is that

coffee and that donut.

That's all that matters.

And you're like, I'm not even there.

Like, do I want to get there 15 minutes early to the job I really don't want to do?

Or would I rather sit in line in here and maybe hear a song on the radio while I'm waiting?

Yeah, like it's worth leaving a little bit early for just to be like, okay, I have at least one good thing to look forward to in my day.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Because coffee, I mean, people can't live without it, right?

Some people.

Yeah, I don't drink it, but yeah, people can't start start their day until they get that coffee.

They're like, I need my coffee.

They got to be a little bitchy before that.

Yeah, it's like, fuck you.

I don't drink coffee.

It's like, it doesn't give me the right to fucking be an asshole all day because I don't drink coffee.

It's like, why do these pricks get away with it?

Yeah, when they go off it, forget it.

Yeah, for days on end.

These motherfuckers.

I like a spot of tea.

I do like a spot of tea.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, but you can't pull off like, you know, don't talk to me.

I I didn't have my tea yet.

It just doesn't.

No, it doesn't fly.

Yeah, even when you like, you know, when you go to a restaurant and they're, you know, for breakfast in the morning, they're like, coffee?

And I'm like, no, tea.

Like, I always feel a little bit like effeminate for some reason.

No, not British.

You feel effeminate.

Just effeminate.

Yeah, I don't know.

Because

all these blue-collar guys are always drinking coffee and shit.

Like, tough guys drink coffee.

It's very rare that you see a guy drinking tea.

Well, if you're self-conscious, just order a coffee and a tea.

Yeah.

Just don't drink the coffee.

Just pour it on the floor underneath the table.

Oh, that was good coffee.

I'm glad I had it this morning because I needed it.

Now I can start my day doing hard work.

I'm breaking my balls for an honest week of pay.

This is how normal people talk, right?

Yeah.

Loudly and stupid.

Right, Mary Beth, I'm a working man.

Aren't I?

Why are you shaking your head?

She jess.

She jests.

Bring me another coffee here.

Black.

Extra black.

Oh, boy.

Those are all the notes I had for this week.

Really?

That's everything, yep.

I had them.

I thought Giddam was going to do his list, but then we did it.

I forgot, to be honest with you.

And I totally forgot, and I'm almost glad we didn't do it because I think it would be better if Q's in the room.

Yeah, I would have actually requested that we held it until I'm in next week.

Yeah, but I did.

I mean, if you're, I mean, do you think we need more?

Because I had this

thing where it was like,

hold on, you can cut this out.

Oh, fuck.

Yeah, I don't even have it.

I don't have it.

Nope, I don't have it.

Sorry.

Well, then you know what to say.

Tell them, Steve.

There was this thing about

how you could become more likable.

Oh,

I could use that.

I was thinking the same thing about not about you, but about me.

I don't know.

I really meant about me because I find that

there's a lot of I get a lot of hostility

throughout the day.

I remember looking at the top one, and I was like, oh, this will be good.

Because the first thing that will make that makes someone, you know, like if you make a better impression is not be so talkative.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

And I was just like, well, fuck, man.

I don't know how much less talkative I could be.

We're using sign language next.

Yeah, but that's what I mean.

I'll look forward to that next time.

I'll find it.

And also, get him.

We'll have his

scenarios and Q will be in the room and

we'll knock it out of the park again.

Boom.

Again.

Challenge Steve, Dave.
