So, where's the hair now?

Sit down, asshole.

Tell him, Steve, Dave.

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

I'm here with Walt and Brian Quinn.

What's up, bra's?

What's going on, bra?

Boys, get him walking away.

I thought we were about to have a debate.

I don't know.

He probably doesn't want to have a debate.

He doesn't want to have a debate?

No, he's been gun shy from last week.

Why?

What happened?

Because

he took a couple poundings on social media.

A grinder.

You took a beat?

For what?

Sit down, asshole.

I can't stand you.

Don't talk from across the room.

Apparently, I caught some drubbing for not spending the money from

the fundraisers.

Do you not see that point?

I know, because I would I could understand if I maybe was like

frittering it away.

But the fact that I'm trying to save it for

something that it's still yet to happen, I think, is a good thing.

Yeah, I think maybe people were like, look, that's not what I didn't give money so that you could one day

buy a house.

Like I got I bought I got we donated money to well they didn't donate they didn't buy they didn't they buy a pod?

Yeah, they bought the pod.

So what do they complain?

They got nothing to pod.

And you know, like I said, I'm still waiting to figure out what's going on to spend it.

It's like I said, it's not like I'm wasting it on

frivolous things.

Yeah, lodging.

Well, and I'm saving money.

I'm saving money.

I mean, the money that I would be spending on rent is still being saved.

It's going into a different account through my father.

So

this is where you got to pull the big worm move from Friday, where you're like, my money.

You just got to tell people, is it your money?

No, it's my money.

No, no.

It's a goddamn business.

Okay, yes, but like I said, I could understand if I was wasting it and not spending it, but I'm saving it in the account and I've not really touched it at all.

Do you think it's that people were like, well,

that's not why I gave you money so you could sit on a nest egg?

I did it so you can get an apartment and stuff like that.

But if I can go for home ownership, which I think is better than renting, and

yeah, but that's not an emergency situation, though.

Like, people tried to bail you out of an emergency situation, so they're like, well, now he's just

in a long game here.

I still have to get waiting for rates to come down and shit.

I still have to get furniture and all this other stuff when I get a place.

So it's, again,

it's in the future.

Yeah.

But you've shown a history, though, of not

following through, like, of really just.

You are so muffled with the.

Can you bring it closer to that?

I mean, you've shown a history, though, in the past of.

Remember when Q gave you his hair?

Which I still have.

Right.

Meaning that, like, that fucking

ship has sailed.

Nobody cares about Q's hair anymore.

I was hoping that it was.

I was Q.

I was hoping.

You can keep it there because I can hear you.

That is weird.

I always thought that was weird that I gave that to you.

I was waiting for the movie to come out.

And it came out.

And then

I gave it to you like years ago.

Yeah, and then Corona happened and everything shut down.

Corona was a year later.

Well, no,

the movie had come out, and it was just starting.

It was about to get picked up nationwide, pretty much, right?

Because it was.

It was picked up nationwide.

But that hair was given to you two years ago.

Yeah!

Two years.

Before we even had a deal for the movie.

So how did you know we were doing a movie before we moved it?

Well, when you announced the movie, when you were going to film the movie, I thought that would be the best time.

Right, but then the movie came out.

Yes, and then Corona happened, and nobody was.

It's not like you were fucking Corona-ridden in bed and you couldn't fucking list a hair.

No, it's just that everyone was now worried about money and stuff, and it was not the.

I wished it was the ideal time to sell it.

I mean, give the real reason because let's back it up.

Q gave you the hair long before

the movie came out.

Or Corona.

Yes, yes.

So then the movie comes along.

That's when you hit it.

That's when I was like, but Corona didn't come out for, what, another...

Like, when did we go to that premiere?

It was like last...

What's that?

End of February, like, February 20th or 20 something.

Yeah.

The guys were flying all over the country promoting the movie, so Corona wasn't.

You had a nice window to fucking list it, and you chose not to.

So there's a pattern of people giving you things, and then you just sitting on them and not using them.

Yes.

So I think people are just like, well, why the fuck am I going to help this asshole anymore?

We give him stuff so we could just sit on it and it doesn't change.

Sounds like projection.

Not me.

You know, he's my friend for better or worse.

I got to deal with it.

But if I was someone at home,

I understand their thing.

It was just like, this fucking guy's.

Counterpoint, though, is like, if you're willing to accept the conditions that you're living under,

one, you can't complain about them, but two, it kind of does make sense.

If you're like, look, I want to buy furniture, I want to get a nice place.

I'm willing to sacrifice my self-respect, my dignity, my ability to

defecate indoors.

Right now,

if I was paying $1,500 for an apartment, which is about the going rate for around here, by paying $650, which I am, I'm saving almost $900 a month.

And like I said, that money doesn't just...

It's not going.

So where's the hair now?

The hair is.

We're past the GoFundMe shit.

It's in the Jeep.

I think it's in the Jeep.

So you drive around with a box of hair daily.

Yeah, well, if it wasn't in the Jeep, it would have burned up in the fire.

Thank God it wasn't in the fucking Jeep.

Yeah, just the money was.

The shit that grows out of my head for free every day

again in hindsight yes it was

i could have picked a better time and and sold it and but there's a but there's a pattern no you for whatever reason you're you get something and you almost it feels like you have cannot pull the trigger you cannot pull the trigger to get rid of it I don't know.

I'm an outsider looking in, and I just feel like you were given the hair and you're going to fucking die with the hair.

I hope not.

I don't plan to.

It's not something I

don't like stroke it and like lovingly stare at it.

But like it's one of these weird things.

Like you have it and it feels now like, okay, I have the hair.

I don't need to get rid of it.

I know I have it.

And it's like

I theorize that one day

you'll flip it for some crazy amount of money.

But reality is, and the odds are, you probably are never going to.

You're just going to keep the hair.

Again, I do, yeah, I would love to, I would love to.

Why don't you give it to someone to eBay or get rid of or auction off or whatever?

Don't you know somebody who would be like, all right,

yeah,

give it to Jeff.

How much will you hoping to get?

How much are you hoping to get?

Ideally, like a couple thousand.

Couple thousand?

You could buy Elvis's hair for like 900 bucks.

But Elvis is dead.

You're alive.

Right.

He's never grown any more hair.

You're the media darling of True TV.

If you got 300 for that, that would be an insane amount of money.

You're not going to get thousands of dollars.

In my head, when the movie was like, as it was getting more and more traction and going to more and more theaters, it was going to hit the point where it took the nation by storm, and that would be the right time to strike, posting all the cue fan groups that I'm part of.

So, for that reason, $1,000 ever.

That's crazy.

That's what I thought.

Maybe I was wrong.

Probably I was wrong.

But

it's a comment.

So what are you waiting for now, though?

Let's put it up.

Let's put it up this week.

Okay, I can put it up this week.

You should put it up right now, like even before you leave here.

I don't have any pictures.

Then we could announce it on the

I don't have any pictures of it right now.

Just take a picture of his hair on his head right now.

Just take a picture of him.

Yeah.

Okay.

Or just like, Q, is it alright if he just snips a bunch of your hair off and holds it?

What?

The Jeep is like literally feet away outside.

Just grab the box of hair, take a picture of it.

It's under some stuff.

I think it's out in the Jeep.

I'm not sure.

Oh, you're not even sure where the hair is.

I said, I think it's in the Jeep.

Where else would it be if it isn't?

It would be in the garage at the farm.

Because

I had to clean out the back of the Jeep.

It's unnecessary.

We don't need to know this.

Well, if you're asking that, you want to know what's going on.

What if your dad stumbles upon the box of hair?

What will he do with the hair?

Probably nothing because

it's in like a lock case.

If he finds the key and opens it up, he's like, I wonder what's in here.

He's never never going to think it's a box of hair.

On the bottom, it says, on the bottom, it says,

on the bottom, it says, this is my hair signed, Brian Quinn.

So that was a pretty good indicator of what's inside.

Oh, boy.

This wasn't even a debate I wanted to have on the case.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

This wasn't even it.

The great hair daddy.

Troublemaker had to bring stuff up.

Oh, I'm a troublemaker.

Yeah.

Well, before you guys get into this debate, I have to say you have rekindled.

I won't even say love because I never love sugar daddies.

Right.

I'll tell you what's good about the sugar daddy.

It has all the benefits of caramel,

but you eat it so slowly because it's so hard that you're like, I can.

I eat

candy.

Like a cigar.

A Milky Way.

I would be double-fisted in it because it's so soft and easy to chew.

Courtesy of multiple listeners, I have gotten boxes and boxes and boxes of sugar daddy.

It sounds like you're talking like under your pillow or something.

Why is your fucking mask so thick?

He's got extra filters jammed in there because he thinks it'll make him safer.

But it's been so long that you haven't gotten sick.

Why do you have fucking multiple filters?

Inevitably, it's going to happen then.

I think it already happened to you.

Oh, my God.

No wonder I can't do it.

He says it's as protective as two condoms.

Who wants to wear two condoms?

Sometimes.

I'd rather die than wear two condoms.

I'd rather die than wear two filters on my face mask.

Yeah, but two great listeners after the all-new Sunday Jeff show Halloween special dropped, and I said that I like sugar daddies.

I have been gifted with multiple cases of sugar daddies.

I'm enjoying the

we will never run out of Sugar Daddies, I don't think.

Yes.

Thankfully.

Go right for it, man.

They are

delicious.

There's an open case on the front counter.

We've got fucking a thousand of them.

Well, it's easier to.

And he's like, bitch.

It's easier to move an open case and a sealed case.

It's a little bit of a roll up to the front of the store.

It's easier to move an open case and a sealed case than to.

How are we going to open them?

What do you mean?

How are we going to move them?

How are we going to move cases?

I'm not selling them.

You said you want to give them.

They're for people to enjoy.

They were gifted to us.

Yeah.

So we don't worry about moving them.

And it's not the Sugar Daddy debate either.

What was the debate even about?

Oh, the Star Wars.

Oh, the Mandalorian first episode dropped.

Yeah.

So the man.

All right, so new season.

You don't watch Mandalorian, right, Brian?

I do not.

It's a fucking

this latest episode,

Deadwood Reunion.

Really?

Sheriff Bullocks a Space Marshal, and the bartender is

what the hell was Al's bartender name, huh?

Dan Doherty?

Dan Doherty.

Yeah.

So it's basically a Space Western.

Wow.

And this latest episode was my favorite episode of the series, and I came in to jeers.

Jeers for my friends over here.

Both of them?

Not me so much, but I knew that, like,

you were so muffled.

Oh, yeah.

Q had just stepped in it, and he's about to get schooled and pwned by 148 right now.

I'm a little afraid because I'm sure he's seeing angles that I don't see.

Oh, yeah.

Now, is this something you know me well?

Is this something I would like, Mandalorian?

I think so.

It is not, it's barely connected to Star Wars, like

the Jedi and all that shit.

It's not even part of it.

Yeah.

Is this animated?

Yeah.

No, no, it's not.

No, it's not animated.

There's some Star Wars references sprinkled in for the true diehard fans.

I mean, it's a Star Wars reference.

It doesn't beat you over the head with it like some other shows do.

And I'm seeing this on Disney Plus.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

I like it.

Some episodes are too slow for me, but overall, I like it.

There's a Bill Burr episode, which I think he was amazing in.

Huh.

All right, so what's your, so what's going on?

You don't like it.

You don't like this episode?

I don't.

It was very, very padded.

There was so

there was so much traveling.

Try to get those double filters back on.

There was so much traveling in this episode.

There was so much traveling.

It was just,

it was boring at points in time.

Like, I was just looking to fast forward through

those parts.

Okay, and you don't like the return of Boba Fett?

I don't like speculation.

Spoiler alert.

Okay.

So Boba Fett's armor features prominently in the newest episode.

He last seen getting eaten by the Sarlaq pit in Jedi at Jabba the Huts Barge.

So

Sheriff Bullock finds his armor, buys it off some Jawa, and that's how he becomes like this super space marshal.

Now.

At the end of the episode, spoilers, right?

You see, you found out in attack of the clones that boba fett was a clone of jango fett and jango fett was the guy that they used to make all the clones for the republic army so all the clones look like jango fett and boba when he grows up will look like jango fett right so on tattooing at the end of the episode they they pull back and they reveal a very scarred beat up looking of the actor that played jango fett who now i i think the assumption is that it's boba fett as a as a you know 20 years later however long the show is So now you don't like that they're bringing Boba Fett back.

I'm not clear if.

Bring the passion that you

step in.

That you fucking sprayed me with yesterday, that I could not escape.

And before you say that, Kidd,

even as sort of a dabbler in Star Wars stuff, I know that is not a popular opinion.

A popular opinion is like

any Boba Fett is good, Boba Fett.

I agree to an extent, but to throw him into the second season when you're still,

it's a good show on its own.

To throw something that heavy in there,

it seems like you're grasping early onto something that you could probably wait on and maybe pull him out third or fourth season.

To bring a main, main, main character like Boba Fett in when all you've done is.

He's not a main, main, main character.

He immediately, though, like, upstages Mandalorian.

Boba Fett's now in the picture, right?

Well, he's.

I don't know.

I like the Mandalorian.

When Disney took over, they destroyed a lot of the expanded universe.

So there's some stuff that used to be considered very big canon that's no longer canon.

So, how long he was in the Sarlaq pit for?

Is he actually a Mandalorian, or did he rob someone for the armor?

I think all that stuff is.

You know, it's just his dad's armor?

No, because

it's different?

It's supposed to be different.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, and the question is of even if his dad was a Mandalorian as well.

So, the show, but the show's based on Boba Fett.

Like, the the Mandalorian armor and stuff is just

based on the Mandalorian culture, which he was assuming.

But none of that would exist without Boba Fett.

Nobody would give a shit about Mandalorian.

No, it's true.

No, it's true.

So I'm surprised that you think that, given that he was opposed to.

But he may not be a true Mandalorian.

He may have done the same thing that the sheriff did and Django, I'm sorry,

taken the armor off somebody else.

Sure, let's assume that he is.

But he's not as steeped into the culture as the Mandalorian is.

But himself.

Forget the Mandalorian.

I'm talking about the show, the TV show, only exists because of Boba Fett.

It only exists because of Star Wars, yes.

And Boba Fett.

Because of Boba Fett.

It's based on Boba Fett.

He would be considered a hostile witness if this were a court of law.

He just won't answer the fucking question.

Why won't you admit that?

Like, without Boba Fett, there is no Mandalorian show because there's no Mandalorian.

Yeah, and the associated expanding universe.

What is a Mandalorian, just quickly?

They've turned into like a Scientology, like a religion instead of a race.

Oh, okay.

Like, anybody could become a Mandalorian if you follow some some stupid creed.

It's like saying it's a Catholic or something.

Okay, gotcha.

You get excited.

But they all wear the armor that Boba Fett.

It's like a religious armor.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, it is pretty cool.

Glad they brought it up this season.

Well, part of the thing is that you take an oath not to remove your helmet.

Once you put the helmet on, you take the oath not to take it off in front of another living being.

So that's.

I don't think a lot of people would disagree with you.

I think a lot of people would be like, we don't need Boba Fett in this, but I disagree.

I'm like, give it to me.

Well, again, I didn't say we don't need him.

I don't think you need them now.

You were singing a different tune yesterday.

You were coming down on it.

Yeah, I said because it's so sacrilegious.

It's the second.

It's so fucking

descending and fucking

in your life.

It'll be like worst episode ever.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

That's what I want.

That debate.

Yeah, he's not willing to do it now because you got something.

Well, now you suck so much.

He's got somebody that cares about it.

I didn't give a fuck, so I was like, yeah, no, now you guys suck so much out of me before.

You suck so much out of me before.

I'm in a bad boot.

What's going on down here?

I'm in a bit.

You're in a bad boot because of me?

From yesterday?

No, because

whatever.

Oh, the third then?

No, whatever.

So, no, again, I didn't say don't bring him in.

I said just don't bring him in now.

Don't bring him in at the head, the pilot of the second season.

He could have been, that could have been a good third season cliffhanger.

But you don't know what the storyline is.

Everything you just said, everything you just said sounded awesome and interesting to me.

Meanwhile,

did Colta Fett steal the armor?

Did his father steal the armor?

Well, that's, but again, I don't know if that's considered canon or or not anymore.

But these are questions that are there for the next time.

But again, I think it's a better third season of fourth season stuff than second season.

Because now the second season is supposed to be pivoting on bringing the child back to his people.

That's the task he was put on by the armorer.

Yeah, but that could take - what if that takes six seasons?

It can.

But that's what I'm saying, is bringing him in in maybe a third or fourth season could work to benefit that more than

shooting your Boba Fett load in the second season earlier.

He said that yesterday, too.

fucking was, he was dying to fucking drop that.

As if that was going to fucking make you guys just go,

you waited a moment.

He was looking around for a fucking reaction for that one.

Anyone hear me say that?

Shooting your Boba load.

Wow.

All right.

Well, I mean, I guess it's just down to who do I trust on story and structure.

Is it Favreau or Favreau?

Oh, is it Favreau?

Oh, my God.

You wrote directed it.

While I like the

overall

landscape shots, I know we're laughing at it.

Jesus Christ.

But I love Instagram.

I love it.

I think a lot of people would agree with you.

But you said you liked all the traveling that you did.

It's your job.

After viewing the episode premiere of Mandalorian, I've got a suggestion.

But like, they threw out lines that was like, oh, I'll just blast the thing from space.

They're like, no, no, no, you can't blast it from space.

You have to travel long and far and take up some screen time time because if it senses a ship, it'll go and hide forever.

Or

it's, it was, it just seemed like an again, a way to pad the episode out so that all you were doing was just watching them travel almost like Lord of the Rings.

Do you have a bigger problem with Boba Fett or this corny-ass baby Yoda everyone seems to love?

I'm kind of in the Jeff camp where I, you know, it's Jeff is very upset with all the baby Yoda that was seen.

You didn't like it?

No, no, no.

He's like, he goes, look, they're riding on the speeder, and they cut to the baby, and you see his ears flopping in the wind.

I mean, who wants to see that?

That's cute.

Jeff thinks it's

Sunday Jeff has called it the pussifying of Star Wars.

Why?

It's slow.

Really?

I mean, I mean, I don't think it's, I think that's more eloquent than shooting your bubble of wad.

Yeah.

He thinks this is the thing that did that.

He thinks that this whole child thing, you know, that is going to be, it's kind of like

sends the message that, like, okay, whenever we're in trouble, let's cutesy up everything

and let's do something like that.

So, now that it's just going to be an endless stream of pussifying Star Wars.

Well, and the baby is also kind of like almost like a little of a Chekhov's gun where he's just constantly around, and then right at the last second, when things seem the most dire, he just raises his little three claws and does something.

He didn't do that this episode.

He didn't do that at this episode, but he did it in the next one.

He most likely will.

He did the

but he's a character in the show.

Why wouldn't he?

But this is a but this is that same old trope that we see constantly in all and any other fantasy film.

And it's fantasy, is that kids can fucking save the day.

I can't stand that.

He's 50 years old.

Yeah, it's true.

Yeah, but you know what?

They don't fucking miss a beat to fucking hammer home that he's a baby, though.

Yeah.

So he's not 50 years.

He's in that little floating space shoot.

You can't have it both ways.

He's not fucking 50 and fucking needs diapers.

But he doesn't need diapers.

He's eating solid frogs and everything.

You don't know that.

They just haven't shown the Mandalorian change in his diaper yet.

Yeah, but you can't.

They did show a bathroom.

They did show a bathroom, which was the first in Star Wars.

But they did that in the pilot.

It's like I Love Lucy.

Yeah, with the single bed.

I don't know, man.

I guess that never baby Yoda that way, because I was like, well, is he a clone?

Is he an experiment?

Like, what's going on?

Like, I'm investing.

These are questions that

they keep you hooked in, and you don't want them answered right away.

You want the story to slowly unfold.

That's what I'm saying, is you're blowing your load.

But you don't even know if Boba Fett's going to appear again this season at all.

True.

He could

be Boba Fett.

It might not even be what?

It's Boba Fett, but it's got to be Beth.

Although it could be anything.

It could be all faithful.

Let's say it's not Boba Fett, but let's say it is Bob Fett.

What if he doesn't appear again until the next episode?

I would have no problem with that.

Because then again, you teased him.

You teased him.

So why don't you wait for it to play out?

Okay.

But you'd rather, you're just like, I'd rather not have Boba Fett at all.

Right now.

Even though he's on Tatooine, even though he's going on there.

Okay.

Like, Cabin.

Because as I was saying to Walt, they've established, like,

they brought up this Timothy Oliphant character.

But don't you just want to see Boba Fett?

Like, I just want to see Boba Fett.

I don't think you're wrong.

I think there are a lot of people are out there like you who want to see Boba Fett, but

I think they've built a fucking really strong

core with The Mandalorian that they don't need Boba Fett.

They've shown they don't need Boba Fett to be successful.

So as soon as it wanes, as soon as people are

almost like The Walking Dead Hound, you know, by season seven or six, nobody cared.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's when you bring back Bulba then.

Not season two and people still care about it

with such intensity.

Unless you have all the confidence in the world that's like, I could just fucking knock this out of the park every season.

Yes.

Well, what if Bulba becomes a main character in the show and then he's awesome?

Is there room for two badasses?

Two badasses, I mean, two Mandalorians, both in armor, who are supposed to be wearing a helmet all the time.

Well, what if Boba doesn't put on the armor?

What if he's like, I can't, I'm not a Mandalorian.

Can two Mandalorians get together or get along?

But he's looking for a Mandalorian to help him on his quest.

He's looking for a covert who can have reach to other coverts.

But isn't it, wouldn't it be better if Boba Fett is like, you're right, I'm not a Mandalorian, and then is like, I'm going to help you anyway because I need to be redeemed because I've been a piece of shit.

And then him, and it's like about Boba Fett's redemption.

Has he really been a piece of shit, or has he just been a bounty hunter?

Anybody that fucking takes Han Solo to the Empire, I'm calling a piece of shit.

I'm calling him a piece of shit.

Okay.

He's just doing his job.

So were Nazis.

They're still pieces of shit.

Wow, you silenced them.

No, it's all opinion.

Yeah.

It's all opinion.

Well, that's what we do, right?

We silence opinions in this country.

I think Boba, I mean, how much screen time did Boba Fett really

have in the trilogy?

Yeah.

It's like probably maybe 10 minutes.

I think Favreau's too

savvy for that to be Boba Fett, though.

I know he did the first couple episodes, but then other people were taking over doing episodes, so is he still doing

all he wrote them all, didn't he?

But to throw it out there, too, so in your face, though.

Who did what we do in the Shadows?

It feels like it's too obvious.

Jermaine Clement?

No, Taiki or...

Yeah, Taika.

Yeah,

he did one of the previous episodes.

It was really good.

And And

sometimes you can see that little dabbling of the people.

I think he had the episode where they were just BSing the two.

Oh, Sedekis, yeah.

Good episode.

Yeah.

Oh, Sederis was amazing.

Amy Sederis.

Amy Sedaris is amazing in every single thing.

I was so happy to see her back.

Every single thing.

I was so happy to see her back.

And that's why I said Timothy Oliphant,

they spent this episode establishing him as a character because

they spent this episode establishing him as a character, establishing that whatever town they're in supposedly doesn't exist on any map and no one can chart it or something because it's going to be brought back just like

the

guy, the

Walt's fashioning his mask into a noose.

We better wrap this up.

The character he brought the child back to to help fix up the ship and everything else like that.

It was played by Nick Nott.

Yeah, the Ugnot.

I think it's going to be like the same thing where he's going to have to come back to Timothy Oliphant's town.

I hope so.

Yeah, it's awesome.

No problem.

He was a very good character.

He had a good story.

He was just trying to help out his people, and that's why he adopted the armor.

All right.

Wow.

So,

that's what fandom is all about, right, though?

Healthy,

robust.

Yes.

You either got to move closer to that mic or take your fucking 50 filters out.

I can't hear you.

Sounds like Kenny on the south.

I said, that's what fandom is all about.

Healthy, robust debate.

And you both walk away feeling good about it, and no one feels like icky or

they walk away feeling stupid.

or

that's not possible for Goodum, right?

No, even if he is fucking pwned, he's still gonna walk out thinking that he's fucking stupid.

I mean, again,

I'm not anti-boba.

It's just, you know, there's a time and a place for him.

You're just saying you'd do things differently if you were writing and directing.

I wouldn't throw that out there the first episode of the season.

I would wait for you to hit trouble before you throw out that card.

Yeah, that's like the fire alarm, I thought, you know, break glass in case of fire.

And when like things are like nudity, yeah, like let's bring out nudity because

like a less sincere use of the character.

If you have a story idea for the character, use them in the story.

Okay,

don't just get into a stunt, you know what I mean?

Like, you can introduce Boba's armor, and it's your callback to Boba.

You don't need to see Boba himself.

But he clearly has something he wants to say about Boba with Boba.

I want to see what that is.

You don't want to see it yet?

I don't want to see it yet.

I do.

I would like to see it.

I just don't want to see it yet.

Right.

All right.

Well, there you go.

It's like Star Trek Voyage when they're like, well, okay, we have bad ratings.

Let's bring in 709.

We need a strong, hot-looking female character.

Yeah.

And they did that.

And it worked.

It worked.

She's a beloved character.

Some people, yeah.

Who doesn't love 709?

Literally, one of the most beloved sitting Star Trek characters.

And if it wasn't for 709, Barack Obama never would have been president, which is actually true.

Go ahead.

Just tell us.

It kills the mic.

Tell us.

It kills the mic.

Down, down, down.

Go get that box of air.

That whole time, I kind of glazed over with that Star Wars talking.

I'm not telling the audience.

Let's figure it out.

Yeah, only because I'm looking over to my right, and

I call it Blue Chew Killer.

I look over there, and I'm like, who needs Blue Chew when you've got this visage right in front of you?

Fine vision over here.

But for those who.

Then if you look to the left, though, you're looking at Giddem.

So then you need that Blue Chew immediately.

Killer.

So this episode is sponsored by Blue Chew,

and we all want to hearken back to the days when you were always ready to go.

Well, I feel like you're the kind of guy who's ready to go regardless.

You know, I talk a big game, but there's days I'm not always ready to go.

You know, I'm just not feeling up my best.

You know, maybe I got a little tummy ache.

Crick in your neck, perhaps.

Or, you know, or I slept on my side wrong and

I got a little kink.

Yeah.

You know, but

I don't even know if Blue Chew could save those days.

No, that's more of like

painkillers and antidepressants and that kind of thing.

Blue Chew, you don't but once you take a Blue Chew, all that shit's going to go away.

That's not true.

No, it won't solve them.

Sorry, my bad.

Stummy ache or

a kick in your neck.

Oh, wait, okay, you're right.

What it can do is increase your performance and get that extra confidence in bed.

Do you go in confident every time, Q?

Every time have you gone in being like, I'm about to slay it?

In my life, have I gone in being like, I'm not about to slay it?

Yeah.

I don't think I could slay it.

Yeah, there's no way I'm going to slay it.

But Tom Brady has never gone into a game thinking he won't win the game, he said.

I've gone into some situations where I've been like, I don't know how the fuck I'm going to pull this off.

In fact, I wish I had pulled it off.

I started looking at it.

It's like

a beautiful mind.

I still see an equation.

What I can do to make this fucking work.

How do I

tickle this?

I got to get this Bluetooth.

Every week we do this, I'm like, this is the week I'm going to get some Bluetooth, try it out, come back with a report.

I never do.

Yeah, you just got to get out there, man.

I just don't want to call and be like, It is kind of weird where you're like, Hey, it's me.

Here we go.

Because the second you're like, They know who I am.

Like, you'll see it on their face, and they're like, No, no, no, I'm just doing this for a podcast.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm like, You want to see it?

And then I'm in worse trouble.

So

it is extremely rare that we have three

callers in a row.

You know, first we had Steve Byrne, then we had

Joe Gatto last week.

And this week, as far as I can tell, this is going to wrap up our callers.

But everybody loves this guy.

His name?

The Edge.

Dr.

J.

All right.

So

a lot of people have been asking how you're doing.

Hey, Eric.

Hey.

I got Walter here.

I got Q here.

Get him just shuffled off in shame.

But, you know, ever since the Bachelor Party

podcast, where you let out some personal stuff, people have been like, hey, how's Eric doing?

Can I bone him?

That sort of thing.

Oh, has that come in?

People have been in the middle of the day.

Really?

I've seen a couple of things on Twitter.

Ah.

Score with them.

But

recently, how have you been doing?

Like, say the past, I don't know, two weeks or so.

The past two weeks?

Yeah.

I mean, a lot has kind of transpired since that

bachelor party.

Oh, really?

Anything you want to talk about there?

I was concerned with the last two weeks, but for goodness for it.

Besides Besides the, you know, I know you don't keep up entirely, but the skin cancer thing.

And then I had to have all that surgery done.

Oh, yeah, Eric sent me a picture of himself

with the.

What do you Jesus Christ?

Wait a minute.

So this is a new revelation as well, right, to listeners that you have cancer as well?

No, he said that on the bachelor board.

No, not on the minister.

Oh, I don't remember that.

Yeah, I'd been diagnosed at that point, I think, but

they had to do a couple surgeries and cut it out.

He looks like,

remember that lady who got her face torn off by a chimp?

That's what he looks like right now.

So, so, yeah, so that was a couple, about four weeks' worth of surgeries.

You should have taken up those listeners who are willing to bonya before the surgery.

Yeah, now you're looking at rocky menace.

I mean,

at like one point, they're they were talking to guys like, I'm gonna take off your nostril, and then I'm gonna cut part of your ear off, and I'm gonna put that where your nostril was.

Oh my gosh, and was this in the barrio, or or was this at a hospital?

Yeah,

I mean, I didn't expect all that.

I mean, uh, but you know, luckily, luckily, it didn't come to that, you know, they do a little bit at a time, and they were able to kind of carve it all out, but uh, it was just on the edge of my nose.

What do you attribute that to?

Did you do a lot of sunbathing?

Remember, he was at the Department of Recreation.

Oh, my God, a lifeguard.

That's right.

That's what happens when you put your life on the line for others.

I don't know.

Look at him.

He's disfigured for life.

Oh.

So

you would point to that as being probably a big factor in why you got to go.

I mean, that's definitely

probably a lot.

You didn't put no sunbathing.

Well, you know, you do, but they didn't even have umbrellas, you know, back then when, you know.

You might have a lawsuit, dude.

But, you know, I've just had a lot of sun exposure.

You know, in California, you're outside a lot, you know, do a lot of outdoor stuff.

So it's very common, thankfully, very curious.

It's a giant hole in your nose.

Whoops, hold up.

Yeah, I'm trying to show them your deformity.

There you go.

Yeah,

it was more like, yes, psychologically, just like completely damaging.

Wait, did they just sew it up or plug it up?

No, well, they cut a strip of skin off alongside my ear.

Oh, my God.

And then they moved that, you know, they did a graft to cover up my ears.

Why would they take it from your ear?

Because now your ear is going to look fucking like cauliflower ears, right?

No, no, it's the part right between your sideburn and your

right between the sideburn and your ear.

It took like down the lower regions, I would think, where nobody sees.

Well, they had to pull it back, so you got like a facelift a little.

You look like that human Kendall, yeah, yeah, just on one side, though.

Oh, man, but now you're all better, right?

Cancer-free, you beat it.

Yeah, it was uh cancer-free for uh two weeks, and then uh, yeah, I did a nice thing.

I brought my uh stepson mountain biking, and then I took a spill and then uh broke my arm.

Oh, my God!

So, dude, what is you who put the fucking curse on Eric?

2020, man.

Are you in a bubble?

Yeah, I'm putting you in a bubble.

You see how well it works.

Well, I heard that the story that I heard about this broken arm was that you took Ethan for a bike ride and there was some sort of jump that Eric's like, look at me, I'm young again.

And he's like saying to Ethan, hey, should I go off this jump?

Snake Canyon jump.

Snake Canyon jump.

And Ethan, how old is he?

14, 15?

He's 16.

16?

He's like, nah, I don't think you should do that.

And Eric's like, step aside.

And then immediately is like,

oh, my God.

In front of the sun.

Pretty close.

Right in front of the sun.

Oh, no.

Yeah, I came down pretty hard.

And then, yeah, so.

Didn't even go to the hospital, I heard.

Four days.

You know, I'm a Johnson man.

So

until I got back to work.

I might change your name if I was like, I wouldn't even change that last name.

I'd get rid of that Johnson.

Yeah, if there's some clout there stretches from Jersey to California.

I really would consider that.

The name is haunted.

I told Mary Beth, I was like, you're coming under the umbrella of a curse.

You should keep your name.

Try not to.

Oh,

yeah.

If she did, would you begrudge that?

Or would you be like, I was only fucking around.

If she was like, no, no, no, there's something there, Brian.

Your family name is cursed.

I don't know.

I think I'd be like, yeah, you're right.

Can I change my name to Hotel?

Yeah, I do believe there's just it's weird because there's something there.

There's always something odd going on.

Well, is it?

Do you wonder if it's the genes, though?

Because didn't your sister also have

eye issues?

Detached retinas, yeah.

She's blind in one eye.

Yeah, probably.

How old was she when that happened?

Because the same thing happened to everybody.

Your parents are not related, right?

Not

only by blood.

Only by blood.

Yeah,

that's the thing, though.

We live long.

That's the real part of the curse.

Nobody dies young.

But now you're okay, huh?

Well, I don't know.

I'm in a cast for four more weeks, so we'll see what else happens.

You know,

I mean, what are you going to do, though?

You know, I don't know.

Every time I call mom, she's just like, your brother's doing so well.

Brian's doing so well.

He's so happy.

She's never been this happy.

we should have seen him who's dressed up like Chucky

oh that was yesterday on Halloween meanwhile I haven't seen her in two months so I don't know what she's facing it on I like that even happiness is a weapon in the Johnson

when she said that she said that

how else are you doing out there is that it you just crashes and uh and face cancer that's all you have to report you got any poontang Have you gotten any poontang recently?

No.

Oh, my God.

You know what I did get?

You know, at the same time, I broke this arm, I ended up with syphilis.

No, almost close, right?

Like this weird kind of like fungal infection on my back.

So I couldn't cry at first.

You couldn't what?

I couldn't see it at first because I was like, what's wrong with my back?

Because I had all these cuts in everywhere all over me.

God, he looks like a bad one.

So I was like, oh, it was one of the bandages or something.

Oh, gosh.

Jeez.

A fungal infection?

That's like the grossest kind.

As soon as you hear fungal, you're like, get the fuck away from me.

Exactly.

There goes all the offers of Putin Tang.

And now you don't even have a wife that can help you put the fungal cream on.

What do you do?

All right.

Hire a prosthetic.

Try to spread it on one hand.

Oh, man, it's rough.

Now,

was there any part of you that was hoping maybe all this,

you know, like maybe a Florence Nightingale kind of effect that, you know, maybe

she would come back to nurse you back to health?

Or you didn't want it anymore?

No, you know, the offer was made.

You can imagine what my reaction was.

I can.

So you said not a chance?

He was applying his own fungal cream.

I'll tell you what.

Okay, all right.

So, so you, you, you, you said no.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah.

Good.

You should have had her come over and then rubbed your back all over her genitals.

Showed her a thing or two.

Wow.

So, so is the fungal infection all cleared up?

Yeah, it's nearly done.

It's nearly done.

Okay.

Face is back to normal.

Arm will be back to normal in a month.

Yeah, we'll see.

You know, I don't know.

I'm glad I didn't come out.

You didn't tell me about this fungal infection.

I could have come home with it, man.

Yeah.

I'm happy.

Pam tell you, I dressed up as Chucky.

So we'll see.

You know, I don't know.

I've not been to the hospital this much in my entire life that in the past three months.

It's crazy.

He got into another guy.

This would have been early 90s when we used to mountain bike all the time.

I got a call.

I was down at QuickStop.

And somebody's like, yeah, Eric crashed on his bike.

And I'm like, so what?

And they're like, oh, no, no, he's in the hospital.

So jumped in the car, ran over the hospital.

So what?

Yeah.

Like, why was that even?

Yeah, like, why are you telling me this?

Like, but it's Pam, so I'm like, you know.

Right.

But it turned out like he was riding and

his handlebars snapped.

So now you have the neck of the bike like all jagged and shit.

He goes flying over the handlebars and it rakes up his inner thigh.

So I went over there.

Oh, it was all fucked up.

I could see like yellow fat and stuff in there.

Like, what was it?

Now that you're a doctor, you know, like, what was that cut down to that because that was a yeah that was that was a that was a pretty lucky lucky cut.

Yeah, that was like almost arterial.

It was like, yeah, it was it was right near the femoral artery there.

And it, you, it like just, it was almost like a surgical cut.

Like it just flapped the skin right over.

But yeah, that was a pretty bad accident.

Did did did did your parents buy their house on an Indian burial ground?

I mean, what the fuck?

That's why we never built a pool.

I mean, I mean,

you made the joke about your mother being a witch and putting

all her babies in bubbles, but did she use all the power up on you, Bri?

I mean, is there none left for anybody else?

Yeah, I know.

Look at me.

I mean, she needs to fucking up her game and get some fucking new potions and fucking hemlock and shit.

Yeah, she's got to get some new hemlock.

She's got the toads, like, feet and shit like that, whatever it is they use.

Because, yeah, the world in which I'm doing the best out of the four, like health-wise and shit.

Yeah, that's crazy.

Although, with this shoulder recently, I couldn't go out and see him because of the shoulder.

I have a, what's called, what's it, C-spine stenosis?

Where it's like a crushed, what is that, crushed nerve or crushed vertebra?

My arm is crushed.

Well, this doctor was like

a car accident from 20 years ago.

It's like, it's not recent.

It's just like one of those things.

It's just, like you said, I was talking like Debbie, you know, your wife has the same thing kind of.

Was she ever in a car accident or did it just

happen?

It's just, we just thought it was age, you know, that you know, she just had to have a sure, a sore shoulder from cutting construction paper, you know?

Oh, yeah, like year after year after year.

Yeah, and I was like, it's got to be that.

You've got too much construction paper.

You're too good of a teacher.

I'll get Penn to put a bubble around you.

Yeah, but that's it for me, health-wise.

Darren,

you know, my sister's a cyclops.

Darren, you know, his mental health is fucking far gone.

He looks healthy physically, though.

Yeah.

Darren does, right?

So nothing wrong.

It's all upstairs, though, with Darren.

Yeah, I think it's all up there.

Yeah.

He's a sexy place.

You know,

he's doing this, I think.

Really?

He's in number two in the happiness ratio in the Johnson family.

Where's Edgar?

Oh, where's Edgar in that?

Well,

he was stopping by yesterday.

I would say he's in dead last year.

He and Pam were playing out a Lockhorn scenario where we were arguing over, like, it sounds so fucking mundane.

and Mary Beth was like, Why didn't you record that?

And I'm like, Why didn't you tell me to fucking record it if you were thinking it?

But they went to the grocery store and they bring these

recyclable, not the bags, the canvas tote bags, right?

So at some point, they lose them in the grocery store.

And they're arguing over where they are.

And Edgar has to go to the courtesy counter and be like, if anybody turns them in, we need them.

I was like, as a man, I said, you went to that courtesy counter and said, I lost my tote bags.

He goes, one of those bags was $60.

He goes like this big LL bean bag that came with his car and shit.

He was all worked up about.

I think it was the grocery store and he just to walk around looking for them.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I mean, it's probably Food Town in Atlantic, so it's like a maximum of like 16 aisles.

But then

I guess the argument really stemmed from they were in the cart, and then Edgar took them out to make room for the grocery, so he put them underneath where you put sodas and shit, that kind of thing.

Oh, they weren't lost?

No, they were, but I guess like she stopped and they slipped off or something, and then they went back.

Whatever the fuck, they got lost.

It was a whole thing, which was only capped by Pam then leaving her debit card in the machine and driving all the way home, and Edgar having to go back and get it.

Oh, no.

Oh,

it was fucking great.

And

Pam was like, it looked like it was petering out this argument.

And so, and Pam was like, well, you know,

the reason

I left the debit card there was because you were just harassing me about those bags.

And I was like, so it was kind of his fault that if he distracted you and I got right back into it.

It's like literally like getting on your knees and blowing on the fire.

Those bellows.

I'm like,

wow.

All right.

Well, I'm glad we checked in with you.

Make sure you're all right.

Yeah.

Do you need it?

Surprise.

Like what a 13%er cook you dinner or something like that?

Are you looking for

some attention?

Yeah, can I send a woman your way?

Yeah, of course.

All right.

I know somebody

who will hook you up out there in L.A.

And not like some weirdo who's going to steal

your prescription pad and take off in the middle of the night.

Only two more months left in 2020.

So maybe

on New Year's Eve, this all ends for you.

And it's this weird,

this weird stretch of bad luck.

He kisses somebody with corona and goes down for the final time.

I mean, the only way that I can become happy again is if Brian becomes miserable again.

That's not how it works.

The Johnson way.

There's only a finite amount of happiness in the Johnson family.

They all have to struggle with it.

They all share it from time to time.

Try to take it from each other.

We don't share it.

We just try to steal it from each other.

as soon as mary beth said yes you know that's when things started falling apart for me yeah

she has to find out something awful

all right brother well uh as soon as i get this shoulder fixed up hey do you know if a cortisone shot hurts because i think i'm gonna get one or an epidural if there's a difference even i don't know Yeah, well, you know,

it's just about, you know, where they're putting it.

So it shouldn't have hurt that bad.

I mean, I walked around with a broken wrist for four days and didn't even go to the hospital.

So I think that

Judge said fucking that Star Wars.

You're the baby Yoda of the Johnson family.

It is kind of a weird question.

Is it going to hurt?

No, because I was in, I had to go to physical rehab for this, which made it hurt even worse.

And the guy there, who's a doctor,

was telling me that the cortisone shot would hurt and an epidural, which I think pregnant women get.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or ladies who are about to give a burial.

They're going to put you in stir-ups and give you an epidural.

Yeah, I'm like, we're your stir-ups, doc, get a second walk.

No, I couldn't help but notice both you guys are looking very well put together today.

Am I?

Yeah, you are.

What makes you say that?

Well,

you smell good, you look good, but I'm thinking it's probably due to some personal changes you made in your

self-care routine recently.

Well, at least Walt, because I know Q is big into the candles.

I didn't even know they had candles this year.

Yeah, I got a bunch of candles.

Yeah, he got tons of candles to put by his bathtub so he can.

I like it, man.

I fill it up with some bubbles.

I get in there.

I make it nice.

I places.

I take some bubble baths, yeah.

I haven't taken a bath since I was a

child.

The closest was the hot tub.

How do you have time to fight?

Yeah, with a hot tub.

From Minnesota.

I had to bring it to the hospital.

I didn't have to go to emergency room after that hot Uh-top experience.

How do you have time to take a bath?

What do you mean?

How long does it take to take a bath?

Because usually that means you have a stretch where you could just luxuriate a little bit.

Yeah, I thought you were just so busy.

And you're a man of leisure.

Man,

you got to make time for yourself, bro.

I don't see how he has time because I wrote this down.

He wrote something for this book called Centralia, which I got to tell you, I'm rarely jealous, but I was like, fuck, man, Q and Keene, Brian Keene, and that.

I love Brian Keene.

About

Centralia, Centralia, Pennsylvania.

I'm like, oh, man.

Mine's New York.

Oh, yours is New York?

Centralia, New York, yeah.

It's a book called Centralia.

It's all short horror stories.

Right.

And

I wrote a story in there.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, it just came out last year.

You submitted it and they took it, huh?

Well, they asked me if I had a idea.

I passed the audition.

I don't think it was like that.

They asked me if I had an idea.

And I came up with one, and it worked.

Ole's got time to write novels, multiple TV shows, and take a bath.

He's doing scripts Gone Wild.

I saw online on this YouTube channel, they're doing a read of what was called Halloween 3.

Halloween 3.

Yeah.

Never heard of that.

Scripts Gone Wild.

What's that?

It's like 50 people get onto a Zoom, and then each of them has a part, and they read the parts of a movie.

So like Halloween 3, what part did you play?

Chalice, the guy, the doctor.

Oh, the bad guy?

No, no, the lead, the guy with the mustache that's running around.

Oh, nice.

He doesn't have that many lines on the screen.

It's so funny that he's the lead, and you're like,

it was the original draft of it.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, not the final draft.

And the original was Michael Myers in it?

No.

No, although in the script it is written, you know how in part three did the commercials for it?

Yeah.

It's written in the script that those commercials are on the TV and stuff like that.

So I think they really wanted to plant the flag that it wasn't in the.

Oh, yeah.

They wanted to take it completely, kind of like Texas Chainsaw 2.

Right.

Right.

Where it's like completely out of that world.

Yeah.

To a different world.

Except they didn't even have any characters.

Not one, right?

I mean, at least Texas Chainsaw had the original characters.

Are we in the middle of an ant?

Oh, yeah.

Hawthorne.

Hawthorne.

Sorry, guys.

Hawthorne is a premium-tailored personal care brand that's making it easy for guys,

guys, sorry, to feel and smell their best.

You start with a quiz, and they did ask us a lot of stuff.

Yeah, they did.

What's your favorite drink?

How do you spend a night out?

Do you smoke?

And then they factor all that stuff into certain concoctions.

Right.

Like they're like apothecaries, kind of.

Yeah.

I would assume.

What are the things you got, Walt?

I know you got some candles.

How did you know I got candles?

Yeah, I hear things.

So you're on the street.

We're given quite a lot, allotment each.

It's massive original.

It was a lot of credit to use on products.

Yeah.

And you went with all candles.

No, no, no.

I got soap and face.

Oh, okay.

We just didn't go all candles.

I didn't go all candles, but I did get a lot of candles because I know I'll use candles.

You know what?

I wasn't disparaging you

because I went all shampoo and conditioner.

Oh, all right.

All I did is I was just like, that's the most expensive thing on here.

Yeah.

I'm taking all the shampoo in.

No wonder I couldn't get any candles.

I don't like the Johnson happiness.

You're cute.

It doesn't look shampoo.

He didn't leave me any candles.

Fuck him.

How am I supposed to take a bath?

I got a little bit of each.

You got a candle?

I did not get candles.

I didn't even know they had candles.

I got to tell you, I was kind of disappointed when I found out they had.

They smell awesome, too.

I think I'm going to buy some with

my own money.

Yeah.

But

I got Hawthorne.

Yes, I got some.

I got shampoo.

I got conditioner.

I got deodorant.

I got hand cream.

I got face cream.

Like one from each category.

Really like the face cream.

I like the shampoo a lot, too.

Shampoo and conditioner.

So anyway.

What was the quiz like?

Was it easy?

Yes.

Was it quick?

Yes.

Was it fun?

Well, let's not get carried away.

I had fun with it.

Did you really?

Yeah.

All right.

I like to think about myself and reflect on my choices.

Really?

I mean, when you think about it, it really would, instead of mocking you for it,

it might do better to be like, yeah, like, I'm worth a little bit of time.

Like, I should have fun with this.

This shouldn't be a chore.

No.

And now, back to the show.

The bars of soap are enormous.

It's not like Irish Spring.

It's like three times the size of an Irish Spring.

It feels weird washing with it a little bit because it's so big.

It's that big.

Yeah, but it's good.

It smells good.

All right.

It's probably because it's 100 times the price of Irish Spring.

All right, I'll cut that part up.

But you're right, it ain't going to be good if it's some cheap shit, mass producer.

You You get what you pay for.

Yeah, they're putting it together.

They're building this soap from the ground up.

Using human fat, I think.

Ah, paper street soap coming.

Yeah, there you go.

So I sent you guys a picture earlier

of a tattoo.

Oh, I was driving.

I didn't get a chance to

yeah, what'd you think?

Crazy.

That's a commitment.

That's one that I always go like, man, I hope this person who got that tattoo doesn't regret it at some point because it's always a possibility, you know, that they may regret it.

Yeah, because you know, it may, you know, maybe they don't like us at some point in the future.

It happens.

See it all the time.

You know, they may fall out of love with TSD, and now they got this gigantic, you know,

thing that's permanently on your body now.

Cool, though.

I feel like I could say with 100% certainty that's not going to happen.

Because, oh, that was you?

Is it you?

Oh, shit.

Yeah, that was me.

Whoa.

Yeah, I can't even see.

Fungus on your back.

A nasty fungal infection.

Whoa!

Hell yeah.

Insane.

Now,

that was a cover-up for another, an old tattoo.

It was a cover-up for a Calvin and Hobbes tattoo, which, you know, made me a little bit melancholy.

I didn't care if she had go, but Mary Beth really wanted to get another girl's name off my

back.

Off my back.

Oh, you could have just cover the name?

Q didn't like it either because sometimes he pegs me.

He's tired of looking at it.

Yeah.

Yeah, but it was a cover-up.

Plus, I've felt for a long time that I'm like, I see all these people.

They come to cons and they come to shows with ant tattoos and they show them off.

And I'm like, how do I not have one yet?

And that's true.

How do you not have one?

Well, you could.

So I went and got one.

I'll put it up on Instagram.

It probably will not hit Twitter.

I'm trying to ease away from Twitter.

Oh, yeah, it could.

I just, I can't stand it.

I just, I I can't stand it.

I like our people.

I like seeing what our, but even our people, it's like sometimes they retweet shit, and I'm like, oh, my God, I just don't want to fucking hear about this anymore.

And I guess maybe once the election's over, it'll calm down a little bit.

It'll just start right over again.

Who the fuck knows?

But anyway, how much did that go for?

That was 500 altogether.

Yeah.

It took like six hours to get it done.

Two different, two three-hour sessions.

It's less pleasant than I remember.

you know uh walt i saw before we get out of here i saw something brady related tom brady yeah

and i wondered how you felt about this if you even saw it that tom brady

uh or not tom brady but rob kardashian

now the kardashians don't have much luck with finances

really this was

so this was yeah i think he even has his own sock company rob kardashian or did.

But it says he hit the football card equivalent of the lottery this week, pulling an insanely rare Tom Brady card that could be worth around a quarter of a million dollars.

Really?

So here's the deal.

Rob is a massive sports car collector who's been buying boxes of rare cards from his pals over at the Bullpen card shop in L.A.

So he was...

He was feeling the urge to buy a case of 2020 Panini Mosaic Choice Hobby Cards.

I don't know what the fuck is that.

So this card is worth this much and it was only released in 2020?

Are we sure that he is in

this is a real card?

Well, he's shown the card.

I thought it was.

Well, let's see.

Does he have stake in that fucking card company?

I don't know.

It said he paid about.

It says no word on how much he paid for the case.

They usually run around $10,000.

Oh, my God.

He gave the green light at the guys at the bullpen to open it on his behalf, and he've allowed him to stream the opening on Instagram Live, and he hit some big cards.

So he got a Tua.

Yeah,

he's a new quarterback for the Dolphins.

Okay, so he's going to be the real deal, too.

Oh, yeah.

Not a Tom Brady.

I mean, of course not.

Okay, crazy.

Justin Herbert and Chargers quarterback.

Joe Burrow.

Oh, yes.

I like Joe Burrow.

So it said, oh, wait, this is why it was a big pull.

It was a Tom Brady MVP Nebula Parallel and Ultra Rare One of One card.

That's what it says.

It's the only one out there.

The rich get richer.

Don't we know it?

That's worth how much that card?

Writing stories and reading movies.

Do that shit for free.

I don't know if that's a real Tom Brady story because I have a Tom Brady story that I think connects me more than this story.

I met somebody yesterday that looked like Tom Brady.

Tell him, Steve David.
