#507: F Las Vegas

He's got pizzazz.

He's got plenty of fucking pizzazz.

Because fuck you, that's why.

I guess so.

If Tom Brady was like wearing like one of those Bob Backlund speed-os

tell him Steve Dave.

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

I'm here with Walt.

Hello.

And I'm here with the BQ.

Hello.

And this is a long time in the making.

I think this is the longest we've gone without doing a show in

a couple years, yeah.

Easily in a couple years.

Why?

What happened?

Well, the first week

we just couldn't get the schedules together.

So

we were like, forget it.

We'll just skip a show this week.

But then the second week was the snow.

Yeah, the snow was brutal, huh?

And we're not snow pussies.

We would have come out in the snow to do it.

Oh, I forgot.

I almost forgot.

Thank God you mentioned the snow.

I would have forgot.

Can I dedicate this episode to somebody?

Sure.

Brian Rupert.

Rupert.

He showed up at my house with a snowblower.

That's not all he was blowing.

What a fuck.

What a toady.

Jesus Christ.

No, I thought this was way better than a gift card to Texas Roadhouse or Outback.

I thought

this is even better than a dinner.

I thought a dedicated episode to Brian Rupert.

Rup.

I'm sure they'll feel the same way.

People are like, who's he?

The guy broke his back for hours.

He's getting this bullshit in return.

No, did he come down with a shovel or did he come down with a snowblower?

Snowblower.

Okay, that makes sense then.

Snowblower, yeah.

Gotta get one of those motherfuckers, man.

Who's out there at 4:30 in the morning?

You're like, who is that?

But yeah.

I am impressed with a snowblower.

I think it's time maybe, you know,

I deem them, you know, they're here to stay, I think.

Okay.

Now,

I know you're not allowed to mow the lawn,

but are you allowed to use a snowblower?

I question, you know, because I saw it's like if something gets lodged in there, it can take your finger off.

Oh, sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm just going to have Rup just keep coming.

Yeah.

I'll talk about you guys aligned if I keep dedicating episodes.

It's a tradition now.

now.

It worked the first time.

I would have forgot.

Oh, thank God you mentioned the snow because all the snow is gone now.

Right.

Yeah.

So, oh man.

Forgotten just like Rob.

Yeah, three weeks, though.

You weren't even here for,

no, I wasn't here for the snow.

Blizzard, they were calling it.

Yeah, the big Nor'easter.

Which, since I wasn't here, how would you say it was in terms of like, I'm sure you've seen worse.

Remember Snowpocalypse a couple years ago?

Yeah.

Not even nearly as bad as that.

Okay.

Yeah.

It was pretty like pleasant.

It wasn't really that bad at all.

I would say in a scale of one to ten, I would put a solid five.

Yeah.

Right?

I think it shuts down.

Six, maybe.

It shuts.

Shuts it down.

Oh, it sure did.

That's not a while after.

Well, we were, Mary Beth was like, she kept hinting around, like, oh, my brother and his wife are going to be out in Las Vegas from the 24th to the 20th of January.

And her parents live out there.

So for her, it was like a little mini reunion.

And I didn't do what I wanted to do, which was to say, hey, I'll get you a ticket and you can go out.

I'll get you and sage your ticket.

Yeah.

Take the catch, too, will you?

Yeah.

I can't find that.

Did you know that?

Your parents haven't seen them in so long.

They miss them, right?

They must miss them.

So I was like, fine, you know, like, I'll get the tickets.

I'll go out.

I had some JetBlue credit.

So we're like, fuck it.

We'll go out from the 24th to the 20th.

Now, that's a Monday through a Friday,

which to me felt long.

Like, it felt like it was going to be a long time to just

do family shit.

Well, do you have to do family stuff the entire time, or is there a time for like where Brian can get away and do what he wants to do?

I'm sure that there would have been a time for that, but like there's nothing there I wanted to do.

Oh, yeah, you don't want to go maybe just

walk the strip?

Nah.

No.

I've done it so many times.

It was just like, I've been in a mood lately.

I'm like, I don't want to do anything.

I'm like, I don't want to leave.

Like, even when we were in the hotel,

I'm like, I just, I don't want to go out on the floor of the casino.

I don't want to, which, which is,

if you're going to Las Vegas, it's weird the way

their mask policy is where ours was probably like seven months ago, where like you walk into the restaurant, you have to have it on.

Once you sit down, you don't have to have it on.

Okay.

And

the,

you know, of course, you need them in the casinos.

Unless

you're smoking, then you don't have to wear a mask.

And I ask you, what the fuck?

I saw that, and there's all these old people just hanging out smoking.

Nobody with masks on.

Is that everywhere cute?

You can smoke in Atlantic City?

I didn't think so, because I remember going to Atlantic City and I don't recall smelling any smoke.

There might be smoking sections in Atlantic City.

I think there are sections in Atlantic City, yeah.

But this, I mean,

they say that these are sections

in this Sam's town in Las Vegas.

That's where we stayed because it was down the street from her parents' house.

But these are the biggest smoking sections I've ever been because everywhere I went, somebody was smoking.

Wait a second.

Sam's Club has hotels?

Sam's Town.

No, not Sam's Club.

I'm like, wow.

I'm like, I've never heard of that before.

What's that like?

I stayed at the Costa Coast Center, yeah.

So

we were there.

Then I found, once I was there, I found out that it was the brother and his wife were going to be there until the 27th.

So I really could have made

reservations going from the 24th to the 27th.

We could have left a day early and we would not have run into what we ran into, which was on that Thursday, our next fight, our next morning is our flight on Friday morning.

And I get a text from Jeff Blue saying that it's canceled.

And I'm like, I'm not shocked because I've been reading about the snow and shit.

But it's pretty fucking disappointing.

So I have to get on

with Jet Blue to make a reservation reservation for a different flight because I'm like, well, if I can go out the next day, you know, I don't want to stay here forever.

So that wasn't going to happen.

But yeah, but you were coming back into like a shit storm.

Right.

So yeah, I'm surprised you were like, I got to get home to shovel.

Well, I was hoping Rup would have come down.

No, it's just like, I actually like snowstorms and shit like that.

I like those natural sort of.

Really?

Yeah, like hurricanes, like bad storms.

I like that sort of thing and it was just so boring out there like it was just so boring surprise yeah you didn't like go see some sights like uh see some mountains some shows

the one show that she wanted to go to they uh they pen and tell her they weren't there that week

the week we were there but so that like uh sapphires or the spearmint rhino get a little saucy with it you know yeah and i just i'm telling you my mood has been one of like i don't want to go anywhere i want to be

it's because of the winter you think because sometimes that happens.

I think I'm having a version of that too.

I think it might be.

I think the winters like and it hasn't even been cold for that long.

No, but it's been particularly rough.

We're at that point where it feels like it's it's just too long.

Like it's just now it feels like it's been going on forever.

It didn't about a week ago, but now it's like, motherfucker, man, let's let's hurry.

Yeah, go just hurry this along that stupid fucking groundhog didn't see a shadow.

No, that's not true, my friend.

Oh, yeah.

The, the, you know, the groundhog of record here on Staten Island, Staten Island Chuck,

who it must be.

I'm sorry, not to be confused with COVID Chuck.

Right.

When we put him in the ground, we hope he stays there, COVID Chuck.

But not, no,

Staten Island Chuck has a better record than Puxatani.

Puxitani Phil looks like a bitch, a newbie compared to Staten Island Chuck.

Really?

Yeah.

And Staten Island Chuck predicted

spring is on its way, my friend.

Oh, good.

And it's coming fast.

Yeah.

So

don't worry about that poser in Puxatani.

Stupid asshole.

Why do they even go to him anymore?

I don't know.

But so they tell me anyway, they tell me, okay,

your flight's canceled.

So obviously I have to get in contact with them so I can reschedule another flight.

And they're like and when I'm on the app, it's like, hey, why don't you try chat?

It's faster.

For the wait from the time I started the chat until we wrapped it up was like four hours and twelve minutes.

Oh my god.

It was and that's what I was just like like we're doing stuff for Patreon this Monday and two of the movies I watched them two times in a row.

So you're really versed in these movies.

I'm extremely versed in these movies.

So I got in with the guy he finally sets it up and he's like okay your flight is for the next day

which would have been saturday at the same time which was like 10 50 in the morning

and i thought it was a little bit

uh hopeful i thought it was a little optimistic because of the way you know because i was i texted with you that night and you were like yeah it's it's starting to come down pretty bad So I'm like, I wasn't surprised.

I wouldn't have been surprised if it got canceled, but they didn't cancel it.

What they did was, and as I'm looking at it, I was like, okay, it's still on.

The flight's still on.

It was like the night before.

All of a sudden, it changes to Las Vegas to JFK.

So they canceled the flight into Nork.

So then you have to drive from JFK home.

So then I would have to drive from JFK.

Well, no, to get to Nork where my car was.

And I'm like, I don't know.

I was like, is there a shuttle or something?

The guy's like, no.

You just got to rent a car.

Basically, yeah, I guess you'd like rent a car or try to take public transportation or whatever.

I mean, I would have come in and got you, bud.

But, you know, I said to Mary Beth, I was like,

these are the moments where, like, because this would have.

Don't forget, don't forget, Q, it is fucking coming down horrendously at this point when he lands at JFK.

At six in the morning.

Yeah, I would have done it.

That's what I got a Wrangler for, baby.

Stop that thing in the four-wheel drive.

Four-wheel drive, but I got the Rubicon, too, with the big tires.

Oh, it'd be perfect.

I said that to Mary Beth.

I I was like, there's one person I know who

lives nearby and could help and would help,

but he wouldn't come get me.

He would send a car.

I would have came.

I would have came.

Of course I would have, man.

But I was just like, what the fuck?

I mean, I'm not going to try to get in there when everybody else is probably wondering what the fuck's going on too.

It's not like I'm the only one with my hands up in the air.

And

I don't want to do that.

So I have to get back on chat to be like, I'm going to cancel this flight.

Before that,

Mary Beth had gone on.

She found something in United that was like on Monday.

So I get back another four hours on chat.

And I swear I'm not exaggerating.

I'm not like saying like, it was like four hours.

It was fucking four hours.

So you're just waiting for someone to come on and talk to you.

Yeah.

Okay.

And I have to keep my ear out so I don't fucking miss that thing, you know?

Yep.

So I get on the phone with them and I was like, well,

why would you guys just randomly assign me an airport?

Like in a different state, not even like a neighboring airport.

I mean, I guess it's neighboring, but it's like, it's in a totally different state.

Like, how can you expect me to get home?

And they're just like, they had no answers.

Like, JetBlue really, like, I understand it was a snowstorm and thousands of flights got canceled and everything, but JetBlue fucking really dropped the ball.

And I wasn't going to be one of those assholes on Twitter like, JetBlue, I'm so disappointed with your service, you know?

So

then when I was talking to them about, you know, I was like, you know, I don't want to go into JFK.

When's the next time?

This would have been Saturday.

Like, when's the next time I can get into

Nork?

And they're like,

right now, the earliest flight is Wednesday.

I was like, what the fuck?

Like,

how do you do it?

Like, how are you able to do that?

Just tell people, like, yeah, you're fucked for five days.

Because fuck you, that's why.

I guess guess so

i figured that out yeah

oh i think if you had just sent her on her own you would have had all these bonus days to yourself to like

to just sit around and luxuriate in your own manliness you know

i probably would have been fucking wandering around the house talking to myself in my bathrobe like he did say that about you didn't he's

what have you forget to take medication

Yeah, that was the other thing.

I didn't bring enough medication for the whole trip, so I was out of meds for like five days, too.

So you came home on one, you took the Wednesday flight?

No, I got home Monday night.

Okay.

We got home Monday night on a United flight.

Yeah, we were like.

Into JFK?

No, into Norc on the United flight.

Yeah, no, fuck that.

And it's just like, I mean, it's like a day of, like, you, you don't do it, so you don't know what it's like, but

like a day of travel on a plane is like it's fucking fucking from your house to the fucking shuttle service the shuttle service to the airport the fucking airport to wherever the fuck you're going wherever the fuck you're going to you know the hotel from there and uh it just it takes all day yeah like it's just like a total burnt day

I know people are like, oh, fucking poor pussy and fucking stuck in Las Vegas, how awful for you.

While everyone else was like, hey, I don't have any electric.

But are you, but I know you have a good relationship with your in-laws, but

that much time with them good?

Or you just peeled off and stayed in the hotel room?

I hung out in the hotel room a little bit until a certain point where it was like, all right, you're going to be here until Monday.

I'm like, do I really want to spend two more days in a hotel?

So we just stayed at their house for two days.

Well, her dad's not bad.

Her dad's active.

He's out there playing pickleball and shit and all kinds of other stuff.

Yeah.

And then she hangs out with her mom.

Did you play pickleball with him?

Did you

embarrass myself in front of a bunch of fucking geriatrics?

You and dad head over to the pickleball court together?

We're going to take them, right, Dad?

Oh, that does bring up, that does bring up something, an interesting question.

Like, Mary Beth and her brother call her parents mama and papa.

That's just like their names for them.

Yeah, that's

still mama and papa.

Mama and papa, that's who they are.

That's a unique.

You don't see many people call their parents mama and papa.

And, you know, it's usually ma or dad.

Right.

And even they refer to each other, like the parents refer to each other as mama and papa.

It's very Hansel and Gretel, kind of like Goldilocks.

Very old school, you know, from another era.

Right.

You just don't hear it.

Now.

Yes, the answer is yes.

You must start calling the mama and mama.

Funny you should say that because when I was sitting there waiting for the goddamn jet blue guy to come on,

her brother's wife, who's I think she's 30, was talking to Mary Beth's mom and referred to her as mama.

She calls them mama and papa just like the other ones do.

And I asked Mary Beth, I was like, is it too late in the game for me to get in on it?

But the wife has been dating the brother since like high school, so like she's been around forever, but a relative newcomer.

Yeah, I think you definitely.

I think they might even be touched.

Yeah, yeah, they might even be just like you know, may just bring the whole family unit even closer together.

I don't think you could just do it out of the blue.

I think you have to be at the dinner table and be like, I'd like to announce,

you know, I'd like to know if it would be okay if I start calling you mama and papa

because I would like like that.

I don't know if you would, but I know I sure would.

Did you talk to Mary Beth about it?

Because

she seemed to think that it wouldn't be like

weird.

You viewed as crazy.

Yeah.

And I was like,

that is out there, man.

I was like, somebody a couple years older than me, and I'm calling them mama and papa.

I think you got to do it, man.

Remember how you used to make fun of me

when I was hooking up with that girl, how you said I'd have to wear

pajamas at a fucking family thing every year because they all did.

Oh, every Christmas they would wear pajamas.

Yeah,

these are adults, Walt.

These are fully formed adults.

These are people in their 30s.

And their family gets together every Christmas and they wear pajamas all day.

They all come.

I've seen folks like that.

Yeah.

So, you know, Johnson, said to me that I'd have to start wearing pajamas on Christmas if I kept going out with this girl.

And I rejected it.

I said I would never do it.

I said, I will never wear those pajamas.

And I tortured me with it.

I believe

that you definitely would stick to your guns, but do you probably realize it is probably the reason that you're no longer with this person?

Yeah, you know what?

You might be right.

But I think now, like old, I think that was just a young man's foolishness.

I think I should have put on the pajamas.

Yep.

It was just a rebelliousness.

They're like, you're not going to tell me to.

That's corny.

That's gay.

Yeah.

Just self-conscious and like, you know, not confident.

Right.

Today I'd put it on those fucking pajamas, though, man.

Like, you would want to.

You'd be like, all right, there's a new role.

Everybody has to wear pajamas.

So I would go with mama and papa.

I would.

Like, what are you going to do?

Not call them that?

Where's the point in that?

Like, what's that going to do?

I can't do it, right?

now.

Won't sit here shaking his head like, no.

I still don't call my mother-in-law anything.

You haven't?

I don't say her.

I just say,

I just never, ever address

her as anything.

Just talk to her, but never say her first name or call her mom or anything.

I just go out of my way to try to find

easy ways to address her without actually saying her name.

You.

Oh, no, you know what I do?

I call her Ga because that's what my girls call her.

That's the easy way out.

But you don't call her that to her.

You just refer to her that.

No, no, I actually, yeah, actually, now that I think about it, yeah, because I have called her Ga when it's just me and her in the room.

But I'll say it in a funny way, hey, ga.

Okay.

You know, not like where I'm like.

I got something to talk to you about.

Maybe I'll just call her parents Ga and let them figure it out.

I thought for I would I would have bet the farm that the only kids on the planet that referred to their grandma were

my kids calling her a Ga.

But I was wrong.

Oh, really?

A lot of people call their grandmother Ga.

You know, when I would see it out and about over the course of,

you know, as my kids grew up and we were at different family functions or at places like amusement parks or water parks.

And the grandmothers are there, I would hear other kids call their grandmother Ga.

It blew my mind.

Yeah, I could imagine.

You couldn't figure in a world of six billion people.

I had never heard anybody referred to as

any grandparent referred to as Ga.

I never had before your kids.

We went to a restaurant out there where

it was a pretty good place.

This blueberry, just breakfast place, blueberry house or something.

And

I'll write printed on the menu.

It says that there's a buzzer that goes off intermittently,

and that's to remind

the wait staff or, you know, the whole restaurant staff to wash their hands.

They're to wash their hands when that buzzer goes off, no matter what they're doing.

And if you would notice your server not washing their hands, can you please report them?

And I was like, when the fuck would it become my job?

Is there a sink right in the dining room where you could witness the wait staff washing their hands?

I did see one area where there was a sink where there was like coffee and tea and that kind of shit.

And there's a sink.

And when the buzzer went off, one dude did go to that sink.

But otherwise, I'm like, how the fuck would you know?

Like,

how could you possibly know if they washed their hands or not?

You know, they're all in the back, like, or they would have to go into the bathroom.

It's like, they're exactly where you're not.

Wow, I've never heard of that before, though.

Like, a little bell that just, like, it's almost like the Texas Roadhouse when there was a certain point where everybody had to start dancing.

Everybody started line dancing.

That's what they stopped doing now.

I don't know why they stopped.

Maybe because of COVID.

Maybe the six-foot rule, it makes you not have to line dance and embarrass you.

You fucking demean yourself in front of the.

So you didn't have to get up and dance, Walt.

It was just the staff.

Yeah, you've never been to Texas

where they just all of a sudden the waiter and waitresses just start line dancing?

Oh my God, it was a huge thing.

Yeah, it was bad for a while.

I would watch some of the waiters, waiters, and wait staff.

You could see it in their eyes.

They loved every second of it.

They were just like their mouths were open, like flies and shit flying in.

They're so fucking happy.

Like with these biggest, fattest grins.

And then

you go down the line.

You would see those three who are just dead inside being like, why do I have to do this?

I know what side of that I'd be on.

It would be fucking great if the customers had to get up and Walt was getting up and line dancing every time he was getting a Texas Roadhouse burger.

If like an aunt was like, I have the security footage of Walt line dancing,

we could like sell it as an NFT or some shit.

Well, here's something.

I don't recognize this.

This is a Miyundi's ad Q.

You're very within, Hip.

You might get this reference.

Is someone you love in a relationship with somebody who tells the same joke over and over?

Or are they with somebody who has the audacity to starfish the bed?

Is that a saying?

Starfishing the bed?

Holy shit.

Fucking

of all, yeah.

Somebody just told me what this means the other day, and I can't remember what it is, but somebody explained it to me because I was like, what was that?

That's crazy that this would come up because I dismissed it as nonsense.

I was like, well, I don't have to remember this.

And here I am

quizzed days later about it.

It must mean like spreading out with all your arms and legs out, like hogging up the vegetable.

But isn't a butthole called a starfish?

It is.

Yeah, chocolate starfish.

I have to think that that's what they mean.

Like underwear.

And it's not about buttholes.

That's true.

Hey, man, is your partner starfishing your bed?

I think you're right, Walt, because it doesn't go on to explain like,

no, be honest, it's just somebody you.

Relationships are not perfect.

That's why Myundi's is celebrating the imperfectly perfect matches with the new Valentine's Day collection.

Talk about your experience with Myundis.

What are the little things that make your relationship yours?

Have you considered matching Undies?

No, I have not, but it has been suggested to me.

Yeah.

And I was as fucking rebellious as a young QS being asked to wear pajamas at Christmas.

Get the fuck out of here.

But who would even know?

No, I would know.

I would know.

Put on these pink panties, Brian.

Go on, boy.

Now dance like you work at Lone Star or wherever it was.

Let me see it.

Let me see it.

Texas Roadhouse.

Gifting underwear for Valentine's Day is groundbreaking.

But gifting matching underwear for you and your significant other, now we're talking.

Wait a minute.

They just use the word groundbreaking.

They did.

Okay.

Thus forever.

Yeah, like sort of diminishing the importance of the word groundbreaking, I guess.

Groundbreaking now, like a dictionary just means blah.

I did notice another thing while I was out there.

I'm a little reluctant to bring it up, but it might mean something.

I noticed like when Mary Beth uses the bathroom,

it's like an inordinate amount of time.

Well, girls always go into the bathroom.

It seems that's one of the stereotypes

that girls spend much longer in the bathroom than guys do.

Yeah, but this is like,

what are you doing, man?

Like, how long are we talking about?

Like, 20 minutes.

That's not that long.

That's not that long?

No, not at all.

That doesn't sound that long.

I thought you were going to say like 45 minutes or something like that.

There are times when it probably approaches that.

I'm saying like an average, like 20 minutes.

Is this just to take like a run-of-the-mill, like, drop a deuce, or is she in there getting ready for you and stuff like that?

No, she's not getting ready or anything.

And I haven't asked.

I think what she does is she like picks it like her hair, like with tweezers.

She like plucks hairs and stuff.

So I think she gets caught up on it.

She's got fine hair.

She's got a, you know, they're not easy to find on her.

Like those white, blondish hairs got to be like impossible to find.

That's true.

Now, I don't take this the wrong way, though, but like, isn't that the only time that she's not in your presence, though?

So, like, so you think it's

worth it for her to go to the fucking smelliest room in the house to get away from it?

Well, I mean, just I just get some alone time.

I mean, I mean, other than that, her bathroom times, is she,

you know, are you guys ever?

Even then, I'm usually horning in.

I'm like, what's going on in there?

What's all that tweezing noise I hear?

But

you might be right.

Maybe she's just like, it's a time away, whatever.

A little time to

recharge the batteries.

But,

unless they were also sick of me, when we went out to dinner on two separate occasions,

her brother went to the bathroom,

and he was in there for a good 15 to 20 minutes.

I don't think it has anything to do with you.

And then her mom,

15 to 20 minutes.

And I was like, this bathroom?

In a restaurant.

In a restaurant.

That's unusual, right, Q?

Usually that seems odd.

Most of the time, people in a public restroom want to get in and out as quickly as possible unless they can't.

Now, where were you guys eating?

Any kind of French weirdo restaurants?

No, this was

explosive diarrhea immediately.

I was like, so

are you talking starfishing going on?

No, actually, I'm sorry.

It was the same.

It was.

What did you say, Q?

San Francisco cuisine.

Weird, freaky shit.

I'm sorry, it actually was the same.

It was the same night.

We went to, it's called Texas de Brazil, and what they do is they have like Brazilian food?

Buffet.

No, it's not really Brazilian, it's just a lot of meat.

Like, they come around with meat on skewers, and they'll like cut it off.

It's like, hey, do you want some sirloin?

Hey, do you want some flank steak?

Hey, do you want some chicken parm?

So, this is more of a

not

like

it's not European food or

different

from different lands.

This is American food, and this is American meat.

American meat, but I will say that on the buffet, there was barely anything I would eat.

It was a lot of cheeses and meats, like pepperonis.

When you mix cheese and meat, you're going to be in the bathroom for a while

unless you can hold it till you get home.

Yeah, I don't think they were interested.

I'm sure they didn't think that you had a fucking timer going on, and you were timing the whole family either.

You're that fucking bored in Las Vegas.

I gotta tell you, I said to Mary Beth afterwards, I was like, going to the bathroom as a hotel is no casual affair.

What's going on in there?

You didn't go in and just be like, I'm going to go check on your brother and just see what's going on.

I couldn't believe nobody else noticed that.

I was about to put up a missing poster for the guy.

Oh, yeah.

So, yeah, that was about it.

So you didn't do any casinos?

You didn't gamble?

I didn't gamble.

Mary Beth did.

She lost some money.

She played

roulette, craps, like electronic craps,

and then

some of the slots, like slot machine.

But like, I know I'm going to lose.

Like, I go in there knowing I'm going to lose this money.

So I'm like, it's not fun for me.

Oh, I mean, I think, you know, everybody except, you know, I'm sure there's some people who go in not thinking they're going to win, but I think everybody has like that.

Not where it's like that fucking dejected, though, but like

people have a realistic outlook that like i'm probably gonna lose but i'm gonna have some fun while doing it yeah that's what she said she was like oh it was fun i was like it doesn't sound fun to me

i like gambling man i i don't i don't love it like i i if i once i hit a thousand dollars i start freaking out but if you can straight spread out like stretch out like a whole evening at a at a card table i i fucking love it dude I think it's good to go.

I'm starting to miss Vegas.

I'm starting to miss casinos.

It's like all that shit I'd love to get in on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

As I said to her parents, even she was like, and that was the other thing that she was like, oh, I want to go out there with my brother, sister, and sister out there.

I want to go out there with my brother and sister out there.

So I'm like, fine, make the fuck a reservation.

She's ready to leave by Wednesday.

We got there Monday, and she's like, I don't know.

Like, I got to see him.

No, she wants to fucking leave.

What the fuck?

So she said, No more Vegas for a while.

Had Sage's Sweet 16 this week, too.

Oh, yeah?

Yep.

I thought she was February 16.

It was February 1st,

but that's the other reason we had to get home because Wednesday was the 2nd, so I'm like, I can't miss her birthday.

Was it a super, super Sweet 16?

Did you get her something with spinners?

Yeah, we got her a Cadillac.

She didn't like the color, so she started bitching about it.

She got like a luggage set.

She got a whole bunch of stretchy, like what do they call leggings, that kind of thing.

Whoa, whoa, did she ask for luggage?

That's an unusual request from a child.

No, she needed luggage.

But she knows if she has luggage, she's going to go somewhere, so she liked it.

All right.

And then she got like video games and shit like that.

Oh, yeah.

What system does she play?

She plays the Nintendo DS and Xbox

360.

No, Xbox One, she plays.

She never stops shouting, whether it's like

she plays the wrestling game.

So she's really in there.

She's like, one, two.

She's counting.

She's doing the Ric Flair woo.

She's like, all this shit.

Like, she, she does, she does.

She does the Rick Flair, though.

Woo-hoo.

Is that him?

Woo!

Does she do that?

Yeah, she does that all the time.

She'll go down to the living room, clear away, like put all the furniture to the sides, and then she'll like really pretend she's wrestling.

Of course, she's screaming the other person's cheating and shit like that.

Then she does something very similar with like, are you familiar with Minecraft?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's like a video game.

Yeah, it's like you.

Trader looks like a block.

Yeah.

And you just build houses and stuff.

It's probably like the most laid-back Zen game you could imagine.

But she's in there shouting and screaming.

She's like, the boys ruined our house.

She's going.

Like a maniac.

And I'm like, I wonder if at some age it's going to stop where she's like not talking to herself and making shit up in her head.

And

I don't know.

I would, if I had to gamble, I would say that it's probably

here to stay.

Yeah.

How, Walt, have you been going to the office?

I mean, I haven't really been in touch with you guys for the past couple of weeks.

You know, things working pretty hard over here.

So I haven't, I'm sorry about that.

But like, what's, I do wonder, like, what's going on at the office?

Can I get an update?

What is going on at the office since the last time we were

together?

Not a heck of a whole lot.

It's been pretty quiet.

I mean after the holidays we haven't had many visitors.

I would say on average or average like after Christmas in January to now we've had averaging about one customer a week.

A week?

Oh, per week.

Okay.

But I've been bringing the dogs though.

They become regular employees of the of the office.

I've been seeing them on their inst on the Instagram feed.

Yeah?

Yeah, Cooper is a problem, though.

We just can't break him of trying to fuck Giddam's leg.

It's just unbelievable.

It's just so annoying because he just won't stop.

Does he do that to many legs?

Yeah, yeah, he will do it to anybody's leg except mine.

And he's horny and he's fixed, too.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know what it is.

We even got told one time that we had to take him out of his daycare because he wasn't, you know, he couldn't come because he wasn't

neutered.

And my wife was like, He's neutered.

I have the paperwork.

Well, she goes, Well, he doesn't act like he's neutered.

He's trying to hump everything.

And yeah, it's kind of embarrassing.

He actually got someone's leg.

One of the one of the one customers per week, he got his leg.

And I looked down and he didn't notice it, but I swear to God, it was one of the most embarrassing things that ever happened.

He either he ejaculated or he pissed on his leg while doing it.

Oh my god.

Oh my God.

These are the dogs you're bringing to the office.

He didn't notice.

Why do we have one customer a week?

Everybody wonders.

I just kind of played it off.

I was like, oh,

come on, Cooper, leave it alone.

But I wasn't going to be like, and then when the guy left, I looked at Kim and I was like, did you see that?

I go, he's never done that.

I go, did he release anything?

And he goes, he definitely did.

Oh,

I have to assume that the person it happened to is probably listening.

He's a dog guy.

They're not sure who, like, they're like, wait a second, that sounds like me.

Well, he, you know,

it's crazy.

I've met a lot of ants recently who make the time to come in.

And that doesn't bother me, but it is strange that, and this guy was one of them.

He was like, yeah, I haven't listened since episode like

350.

So it's like 150 episodes behind.

And they're still fans and they still want to see the plays, which is cool.

But yeah, so he might not be listening if he's 150 episodes behind.

He might hear this in about two years.

Like, oh, my God.

The dog came on me.

Oh,

so,

wow.

All right, big news.

So, Giddam's leg is getting humped constantly.

Well, it's the only action he's getting, and he doesn't look like he's that upset by it.

So, get him?

Yeah.

Yeah, so how's Giddam doing as an employee?

Is there a performance review I could read or something like that?

I actually don't do any kind of paperwork about it, but if I had to be honest and give him some,

you know, grade him for

his bosses, you know, for you guys who you are his bosses.

Sure.

I mean, across the board, I would say he's satisfactory in every instance.

He's so in every instance.

I mean, I really don't have any.

I mean,

you know, he doesn't super excel in anything, but

what I give him a task to do, he gets it done.

So where's the room for improvement on this lad?

On the boy?

Room for improvement.

I really don't know.

I should loosen up and just let his leg get humped.

Wow.

It was funny the other day.

We have to get a whole bunch of shit out in the mail, all the gifts and stuff.

And I ran out of a certain size box.

And I didn't want to order a case of these these boxes because I only needed four.

And you had to order 50 of them if you want to order them from like one of these online suppliers.

So I'm sitting to myself, I'm like, well, what if we go to the liquor store in the plaza and just ask for old boxes?

And then I even had a better idea.

I was like, I mean, my daughter now works at Aldi,

which is a grocery store, which is like a minute from here.

And so I was like, I'm going to ride over there.

I said, I haven't seen her at work yet.

I'm going to pop into Aldi and ask her if she can get me four

brown boxes of a certain size.

And so I walk in and I find her in an aisle.

And this is what she does all day.

It's crazy.

I'm like, I tell her, you are so fucking lucky you have a job.

I said, because this is not needed.

They could get rid of you in a heartbeat.

I said, all she's doing is bringing product, like bringing it up towards the front of the front of the shelves.

Yeah.

And I go over and I go, I go, is this, this is, how long have you been doing this?

I said, she's, I've been doing this since 11 a.m.

This is like 5 a.m.

Oh, my God.

And I'm like, just bringing stuff to the front?

I said, wow.

I said, I go, I go, look, do me a favor.

I said, I need four boxes.

I need brown boxes.

And she goes, oh, all the boxes, she said, are right at the beginning of the aisle.

They just throw all their empty boxes in this wire rack.

You ever see, like, in a Walmart or a Kmart where they used to throw play balls, like those big bouncy balls?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Well, they have one of those and they just put empty boxes in it.

So I'm like, okay, cool.

I'll go over and I'll rummage through the bin.

I said, looking for the proper box I need.

But all their boxes at Aldi,

they're boxes that are ready to be displayed.

So you just rip the top off and then you put the lower half of the box that has all the products in it.

You just lay it on

the counter.

So I was like, so I walk over to her and I said, I go, no, no, I need different boxes.

I said, I need brown boxes.

These boxes aren't good enough.

And I said, and she goes, those are the only ones we have.

And I go, stop.

I said, there's no way they just deliver it like this.

I said, I go, just go in the back and just see if they have these boxes.

And she goes, I can't go in the back right now.

And I go, why will you get in trouble?

I said, or is it because you won't?

Because you don't feel like going in the back.

And at this point, some lady comes over and she's like, do we have a problem?

To you?

Yeah.

I just look at her and I'm like, what?

And she goes, what is going on?

And at least she just goes, this is my dad.

And I was like, oh, and I just immediately go, yeah, yeah.

I go, do you have any boxes in the back?

They both look at each other and I go, did you tell them these are the only boxes we have?

And she goes, I told him.

And I was like, I go, all right.

I go, I'll see you at home.

And I just walked away.

We'll discuss this further.

Do we have a problem?

Yeah, she thought I was harassing

her as just some customer.

But she says that, like, that's what happens.

Like, people come in

and

they get like there is a lot of

rude people out there,

you know, especially now.

You know, Alicia's been telling me that she's had like four different jobs in the past year, but like everyone she says is like people will just talk to you so crazy

as if like you're like nothing,

which I guess which was I was doing.

I was like, what are you talking about?

They go, I know there's boxes in the back and you just are too lazy

to walk back there and get them for me.

Is there a problem?

Yeah, there's a problem.

She's holding out on the boxes.

Why are you saving all these boxes?

Then I finally found him.

Actually, I stopped at the liquor store in the plaza.

It was the one that actually gave me the mother load of good boxes.

Oh, yeah.

To rub it in her face when you got home.

No, she could care less.

We haven't, it's been so long since we got together.

We haven't addressed any of the major celebrity deaths that came down the pike.

Forget it.

Who died?

Well, you had

Bob Sagat was.

Oh, yeah, Bob died.

That comedian, Bob Candy.

Louis Anderson?

Yeah, Louis Anderson.

Who's my thing?

Yeah, John Candy.

John Candy.

He died a long time ago, right?

Oh, yeah.

Meatloaf.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, shit.

Yeah, Meatloaf died.

All these guys were COVID?

Kill them all?

I know Meatloaf was COVID, right?

I don't know about the other guys, but they haven't announced Sagat yet.

Sagitt, I thought it was just a heart attack.

That's what they said.

Oh, okay.

All right.

I don't think the coroner declared an official reason yet.

But yeah, Meatloaf, his last words were...

Were what?

Well, I mean, like, some of his last words were like, he's like, if I die, I die.

You know, like that kind of shit.

Like, I won't get the shot.

Because he didn't want to get the shot.

Yeah.

I don't know why people do that.

It's just like, you know, it's like karma, baby.

Have you ever heard of it?

There's a lot of people in the paper who are like, I wish I had never said that.

I wish I had never done that.

So if I can just impart to you, you know, listen, go get the vaccine or whatever, the vaccination.

It's almost a death.

To me, it basically is a death.

Tom Brady retired.

Oh, I saw that.

Yeah.

I was wondering how you were feeling about that.

I don't know how to feel.

I feel it probably was a it's a smart move on he's so smart and he has to have beat.

There has to be more than a reason than just like, it's time to go spend

some more quality time with my family.

Because it looked like he was excelling even at, you know, even that last year.

He led the league in passing,

you know, led the league in yards, touchdowns, completions.

So he is actually leaving, leading

in every statistical category.

He's leaving

on such a high note.

And I wonder what it is that

he had to see something in his game that led him, like something that nobody else can see.

Like something so minor that he must have saw and was like, I can't do it anymore.

And nobody else can even.

Or I'm like, I'm not about to.

It's like I'm at the end of being able to do it.

Like he just saw the clock ticking out, maybe.

I mean, yeah, it has to be because nobody would walk away

with a season he had

if they're not worried.

Like they do not want any possibility of like struggling in that last year and everybody remembering him struggling.

That's my feeling.

I thought it was a weird coincidence.

He retired after 22 years.

Guess who else retired after 22 years?

You?

Yep.

From the stash?

From the stash, yeah.

I thought that's too odd to be a coincidence, right?

I've been trying to get a hold of Tom and tell him, but

wow.

Would you say you're the goat of the secret stash, Steph?

No, you could never say that.

That's for other people to say.

They are saying it, aren't they?

I mean,

they should be.

But I don't know if I can, like, it's weird because I have, like, the passion kind of was

distinguished for the devils, and now the one guy that I was solely interested in watching the NFL will no longer be playing.

I wonder if my interest levels will also wane

for that, and then I'll be left

fucking just rooting for nothing.

I don't know, dude.

Maybe this is the time you start watching professional wrestling.

Huh?

It's all fucking choreographed, though, isn't it?

It's like it's all predestined.

It's all predestined, but there's a skill.

I mean, so are you.

Oh, yeah, I'm not sure.

So are TV shows.

What those guys do is phenomenal and unbelievably athletic.

They tell a story.

Right.

But

I just don't know how I could root for something that, like, that's like rooting for the Mandalorian.

You don't know who's going to win it.

No, you don't know who's going to win.

Spider-Man is like, oh, come on, Spidey.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe it.

I'm on the edge of my seat.

No, no.

Dude, think about it.

You could start watching it.

And like, there's some wrestlers I think that you would like.

There's some guys that like wear the face paint and fucking get weird and freak you with it.

There's a guy now called

Danhausen who looks like if he was a Baron-themed wrestler.

Baron von Flanagan-themed?

Yeah.

He kind of looks like

that.

Really?

And he's awesome.

And he puts like curses on people and shit like that and talks in this weird voice.

He's almost like,

who's the guy?

Sven Guilli was 50 years years younger and a wrestler.

He's awesome.

He's fantastic.

What wrestling circuit is he on?

He just started an AEW.

But if you go to YouTube, you type Danhausen, you'll see a bunch of videos with him.

And it's Fry.

How can I put into words?

I don't think I'm not doing it properly.

Like, what is it?

Like, you know me.

Could you see me rooting for wrestling?

Like, following it like I, like, and living and dying on it like I did.

Like, like, I mean, get him.

I mean, get him to see me here, like, like, when Brady was like, you know, it's like, I'm like, I'm up, I'm down.

I'm like, I'm holding my head.

It's like, you know, I can't sit still.

I don't think I could ever fucking muster up that kind of level of like interaction for a wrestler.

It would be like you watching an episode of Tom and Jerry and like rooting for Jerry.

Like you're all over the room.

Like, come on,

don't let Tom get him.

She was not happy with that analogy.

It's not true at all.

It's telling a story, man.

You don't know how it's going to end.

I mean, you know how Tom and Jerry's going to end.

Yeah, I don't know how it's going to play itself out, wrestling, but

I also know that, like, you know,

it's scripted, though.

It's hard to get over that.

I know.

the fan base is somehow some way the people who love it are able to overlook that And I question how they're able to do that.

Why?

By that, I mean, I question their IQ.

You don't read a fucking comic book and be like, this isn't real.

I can't read this.

Yeah, but I don't appreciate a comic book for

just the outcome alone.

It's the art.

It's the writing.

It's the...

There's a lot more that goes into it, which I guess you're doing for wrestling as well.

That's what I'm saying.

Like, you don't think all that's there?

Like, in wrestling, it's all there.

It's like there's a skill to it.

It's the trick.

They build storylines.

They have

characters.

They have storylines.

Who's your favorite right now?

Who do you root for more?

Like, who do you want to see have the belt?

And is there some guys that are just never going to get the belt?

You just know.

There's some guys who are never going to get the belt.

Yeah.

That to me feels like

that's tough to deal with, though, right?

Well, I don't know.

If I was them, I would certainly want to have a shot at it.

But it's about like, do they have the charisma?

Can they connect with the audience?

Like, how are they on the mic?

There's all stuff that goes into it that

some people just don't have.

Maybe Tom Brady will get into wrestling now.

That would be pretty crazy.

And he becomes the best wrestler of all time.

I would root for it.

Yeah, I'd be into wrestling then.

If Tom Brady was like wearing one of those Bob Backlund speed-os.

I don't know if anybody knows what I'm talking about.

Screaming into the mic with his fucking, with his like knee-high fucking patent leather boots.

I mean, it sounds awesome.

You would have watched that?

I would watch that.

It would be amazing.

He would be like, he's lost his mic.

I was just reading an article where he'll probably be the first billionaire quarterback ever.

Really?

Yeah.

He's getting into a lot of, like, he's getting into those NTF shit, though.

he's gonna buy a team right eventually I don't know I don't know I mean I would imagine it's if he wanted to get into that he could do it he's all he did a clothing line recently

and I wasn't that impressed with the clothing line either it's just kind of real bland is it like sports type stuff it's like yeah it's like hoodies and sweatpants but like there's no like

design flair.

It's just his name on it like with block letters that you would find like on

the most fucking common font that you could find on the internet.

But it's selling like crazy.

I mean, the prices that he's charging for the clothes is fucking insane.

Maybe they're high-quality clothes.

Yeah.

Oh, I'm sure they are.

Yeah.

But how much money does he need?

Like, you're going to open up a clothing line because only headaches come with it.

I mean, you know, okay, yeah, the first launch went well, but yeah, but what about when you launch the next one and the teeth aren't in there?

Is he going to be able to rebound like we did?

I don't know.

Will he be able to say this special edition sell them

just the same?

Yeah, maybe.

How do I turn this pile of shit into lemonade?

Wait, I know.

Just carry on with the same exact plan that I had.

It'll be fine.

I don't know, man.

Like

the day comes that I'm like, I am well and truly done.

I'm retired.

From what?

From, let's say, the show ends and then the various other projects that I have going wrap up.

Like, and then I just walk away.

I would like to think that I don't want to walk away until I can just fucking walk away.

You know what I mean?

Like, and not, I'm not going to want to start up a clothing line.

You know what I mean?

Like, I just want to get into relaxation more.

Exactly.

That's what I'm like.

I mean, he doesn't need it.

So I wonder what drives him to opening up a clothing line.

Yeah.

Like, everybody does it.

You know, I saw Ellen has a clothing line.

Yeah.

Well, they just slap their name on it mostly, right?

And then they sell it.

But Kathy Ireland is worth, like, isn't she worth like over half a billion dollars?

From Mary Kate and Ashley Olson, same thing.

They became pretty rich through their

own.

So it's hard to argue with it, I guess, if you have the opportunity.

Because I guess if they're like, look, your name is Tom Brady.

He's not designing the clothes.

He's not fucking doing any of the real work.

They're paying him to put his name on some stuff, right?

And if they're like, and that will generate you $230 million over the next two years, you'd be like,

Okay.

Fuck yeah.

What are we talking about?

Even if I just give it to my kids to spend on cars, who gives a shit?

Like, why wouldn't you do it?

Because you open yourself up for needless criticism, though.

Like it does from like, well, I mean, because people look at the line and they're just kind of like, that's the new line?

It's kind of like, there's no pizzazz.

So far, there's only one guy saying this that I've heard of.

So if it's between making millions upon millions of dollars or being accused of lacking pizzazz, I'd probably just

take the money.

I would.

I'd be like, all right, I don't have pizzazz.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

You're right.

Yeah, it's all a scam.

But I always worry about, like, I just don't want anybody like criticizing him, though.

It just pisses me off.

I can just stop everybody.

I see criticism of myself on the internet.

That doesn't bother me as much as when I see people go after him.

He's got pizzazz.

He's got plenty of fucking pizzazz.

He can't.

I don't think he could slow down.

Not that type of guy, right?

I'm just hoping that he doesn't get tempted to come back.

He doesn't get lured back next year.

That will be very difficult at his age to step back into it and just pick up where he left off.

I think it would be...

It would be an amazing story if he could do it, but you're also just like, I just hope he doesn't try to do that because it could really leave that impression.

You know, like Jordan, he came back and nobody fondly remembers any of that era where he was on the wizards.

And I just don't hope he doesn't fall victim to that temptation.

Like, I could still do this.

Didn't he buy the wizards?

Yeah, he was part owner.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think that's probably had a lot to do with it, why he came back.

I don't think he cared about his fucking...

Legacy or record.

He's like, how do I get people to come to these games?

How do I make the wizard a real name?

I'm sure it was more marketing than anything else.

I can't imagine he didn't.

He's the type of guy that didn't care.

I think he had to think that he could do it.

I mean, because when you spend your whole life doing it, you just think, you know, you could just do it.

By being the best at it.

I think it's very difficult to realize that moment where you can't do it.

And I wonder what happened to Brady that made him go,

I can't do this at the level I expect out of myself.

And I wonder what it it was that made him realize that.

That's the questions that people should be asking him.

You know, not the bullshit fucking

questions I see them fucking him.

All the softballs.

Yeah.

Well, any of you guys listening to this on Ray Con earbuds?

A lot of people didn't even make resolutions this year, and you know what?

I get it.

Yeah, of course not.

You put pressure on yourself to make resolutions.

Why change?

Everything's just fine.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't still find a way to shake things up.

God damn, they're contradicting me at every turn.

Whether it's by switching up your workout routine or going someplace new,

whatever way you challenge yourself in this new year, there's no better way to do it than with a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds in your ears.

That's true.

Raycon wireless earbuds are the best way to bring audio with you because no matter how much you shake things up, no matter how much you shake, they're not going to fall out of your ears.

That's a big thing about these, Walt.

They want you to know that if you're shaking, I guess if you're going for a run or you're falling down a flight of stairs, they're going to stay in your ears.

I don't know how they can make that claim, though.

I don't know.

I mean, I don't think they're guaranteeing like never fall out, but

if...

Under normal circumstances, they're going to stay in a little bit snugger than your average earbud.

Their everyday earbuds look, feel, and sound better than ever.

There's also awareness mode for when you need to listen to your surroundings so you can take your Raycons with you wherever you go.

With optimized gel tips for the perfect in-ear fit, these earbuds are so comfortable, and they will not budge.

Raycon offers eight hours of playtime and a 32-hour battery life, and they're priced just right.

You get quality audio at half the price of the other premium audio brands.

I use my Raycons on the flight, the noise-canceling.

The 40s, I think the H-40s, they're called.

Let's see.

It's no wonder Raycons everyday earbuds.

I've got over 48,000 five-star reviews.

So, right now, tell them Steve Dave listeners can get 15% off the Raycon order at buyraycon.com slash T-E-S-D.

That's byraycon.com slash T-E-S-D to save 15% on Raycons.

Buyraycon.com/slash T-E-S-D.

All right.

Now you know everything you know.

Need to know about your butts shaking out of your ears.

When I know this, this is going to trigger you, Q, but when I go, when I go to hotels, I usually just turn on HLN because that's the station that has all the forensic files

and shows on it.

They just do marathons and that and commercials for fucking diseases.

You're like, I sure hope I never get that.

What was it?

Like the HLN, the network.

You said Zizzes?

Oh, no.

I was like, it's two things.

It's like, it's

commercials for diseases.

Oh, diseases.

Diseases that you hope you never get.

Yeah, yeah.

But they always show the people,

hey, here's somebody with something, you know, diabetes or some other bullshit.

At the end of the video, I mean, at the end of the commercial, they're always living a life that I'm like, I'd like to live that life.

It seems so full and fun.

They've got not a fucking worry in the world because they take this fucking pill, man.

Aren't you have a lot of those pills?

I do, but none of them seem to be working exactly like they should be.

Yeah, the pills that make you feel good, you're not even allowed to take any.

No, I know.

You fucking get them if you want.

Half the time they're filled with fentanyl.

But the one thing I was wondering, you must have seen the commercial with Joe Namath on it and Jimmy J.J.

Wilson.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're selling some sort of life insurance, right?

Yeah, I was like, I couldn't figure out, I had to watch the commercial several times to figure out exactly what it was that they were trying.

Because it's like, if you give your zip code, like you're going to get money back in your social security check.

That's all they keep talking about: money back in your social security check.

And I don't know if you noticed, but like the Joe Namath backdrop one just seems like sort of patriotic, where like Jimmy J.J.

Walker, it's like every piece of merchandise that was ever put out.

He is on a bookshelf behind him for no reason.

It's like his, like, his

publicity still and shit.

But on that, that same network, I saw this, it was a claim that said, a quarter people, 25% of people over 60 will suffer a crippling fall.

Does that seem like a high percentage to you?

Because I was sitting there wondering about it.

I'm like.

Crippling?

So, like, I know, like, a bunch of people that are going to be over 60 pretty soon.

Is one of us going to suffer a crippling fall?

Statistically, they're saying yes.

Wait, you broke up for one second.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no,

they're saying that, like, of all our friends, like, statistically, they're saying yes.

We're going to, one of us will watch another one

suffer a crippling fall.

Yeah, I'm a little younger than you guys, so like it probably won't be me.

Carmicu.

Meatloaf

the same thing.

Yeah, yeah, you're right about that.

If I fall, I fall.

I was in the Goodwill,

and there is literally an end cap full of canes and walkers.

And it just made, it just really stopped me in my tracks and i was like every one of these canes and walkers

you know everyone who used them is no longer with us it's like the holocaust like that big pile of suitcases and shit

it was so like like it's like sobering yeah there was so like when i say there was a hundred there may have been 250 canes

just in this little like area.

Like if you wanted a cane, if you want out cane shopping, you had

so many to pick through.

But it really just stopped me because I was just like,

all these people didn't need a canes, and now they don't need canes.

You know, the reason why they don't need a cane anymore.

Right, yeah.

And the cane only had value to them, otherwise, it wouldn't be given away for free.

Yeah, oh, yeah.

But yeah, there was this sculptor that passed away recently.

She was like a Staten Island local artist.

And

her obituary, she was 93 years old.

And her obituary was like this long list of like, she sculpted like the royalty of Monaco type shit.

Like, she went, she traveled around the world.

She took all these, all these trips, met all these famous people, met presidents, met,

you know, consulates, all these people.

And I'm just like, and she just died at 93 in Florida, and nobody knows who the fuck I'm talking about.

And soon, nobody will ever know she existed at all.

And she lived this fucking amazing life.

It's just, it's so depressing.

I was thinking about that the other day.

It's like dining with kings and queens, and it means nothing.

Nothing.

Those countries might not even be around some of them.

But I feel like why you worry that could be your fate.

Oh, I know it'll be my fate.

I'm not worried about that.

It's everybody's fate.

Dude, no way.

You may not have dined with kings and queens, but you have something that she didn't have.

What's that?

A TV show that just never stops airing.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

But so did Jimmy Walker.

I don't think what about this podcast, though?

Yeah, I think it will outlive us to some extent.

Maybe not, we're not going to, you know, our heirs or

whoever takes on the estate isn't going to be selling like the same numbers that we're selling.

Well, our heirs are fighting over the library.

Yeah,

I don't know, man.

I mean, isn't that the thing that like, you know, what they said, like, just on a long enough timeline that all none of it matters?

I mean, Charlie Chaplin, kids don't even know who the fuck he is.

Right.

You know?

Yeah, I'm not saying, okay, so Charlie Chaplin was, what, 1920 or 19, okay, 1923, let's say, or 22, to make it an even one, 100 years from now.

I am not saying that TSD will be downloaded

in any kind of

significant numbers 100 years from now.

But 10 years after we've stopped for whatever reasons we had to stop for?

I think 10 years?

10 years after 10 years after we stopped, I still say that there will still be downloads of the old catalog.

I don't know.

We've talked about things that are not just tied to completely pop culture.

We've talked about things about it's like a journey, a life's journey.

But who cares, though?

But who would care except for your I mean,

I could see like within families, it wouldn't matter.

Well, let's say if we go out with, like, saying some really fucked up shit.

Let's do it.

Yeah.

You know, so

like, like, if we do something really, like, you know, out of the, out of bounds or out of the norm to get some sort of like stigma as it ends, then it could really, like, you know, it still would be, I think, revisited by people out of curiosity.

Well, you think Louis C.K.

is getting a lot of interested parties coming to look at what he did?

Fatty Arbuckle.

What about Fatty Arbuckle, man?

His career never recovered.

Was he a singer or was he a comedian?

I think he was like a comedian performer.

He was a comedian actor.

He got accused of smothering a woman to death with his girth because he was so big.

And then it turned out he didn't do it, but his career was over.

Well, you know,

I mean, yeah, I do because when I was at the Goodwill, I didn't pick up any canes, but I picked up a W.C.

Fields best of DVD

quarter.

Yeah.

I'm going going to let somebody put their hands on this.

Proving that, yes, they will live on.

We will live on.

So

W.

C.

Field's legacy is reduced to a 25-cent Goodwill purchase, and you somehow think that that's it to living on?

That's horrible.

He's like, hello, my chickeny.

The woman at the Goodwill counter is like, get the fuck, just pepper sprays them.

It would have been 50 cents, but it was a day when everything was half off.

So,

I would have paid 50 cents for it, but I just lucked out.

I got it for a quarter.

So, it would have done no different if it charged you 50 cents, 25 cents, or indeed not at all.

It just gave it to you free.

That's how little of an impact it has on your life.

Go get them, WC.

Tell him, Steve, Dave.
