#448: Sk8ter Boyz

You don't think evil

is just out to fucking snag some fucking tang, fucking jump on Snake River?

Girls, you don't need to listen to this part.

It's like something that Gene Kelly would have done in the fucking 40s, I think.

But spinning around on a lamppost

Tell him Steve Dave.

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

I'm here with Walt.

We've got Q by satellite.

Hello.

There you are.

It's better to...

What's this little cut button on for?

Okay.

It's better this way, right?

Me and you are here, but we're not just talking to Q over the phone.

We got him on Zoom so we can see that perfect visage.

Yes, yes.

It adds a lot to it.

Have you been doing a lot of zooming lately, Q?

I have not.

I didn't pick it up early

like a lot of other people did, so I didn't get into that habit.

I have done it maybe four or five times over this whole event, but

not really.

You know what I'm enjoying?

What's that?

Downtime, not talking to people.

Not being on Zoom is what you're doing.

It's been pretty good.

Not being online, not being on Zoom.

It's been pretty sweet.

The second you step online, problems emerge.

I wouldn't know anymore.

That's it.

You do any Zoom walt?

Is this like FaceTime Zoom?

Yeah, kind of.

I don't have any capacity or any kind of ability to do any of that stuff.

So, what about the girls?

I just come here and I watch you

smash and yell.

I'm like, fuck.

Ten minutes before Q is on, and I'm like, this is why I don't bother with any of this stuff.

It is such a pain in the ass.

It all came down to one button being pushed.

One button.

Okay, hey, man.

This would have been great.

I exercised patience at least a little bit, right?

Got it to work.

I didn't break anything.

Do your girls do it, Zoom?

Like, they could stay in touch with friends and shit that way?

I'm sure that's how they communicate with their friends, I'm sure, but I don't know.

I don't keep up to date on all this tech.

I'm on vacation.

Officially on vacation?

Officially on vacation.

You pulled me from my vacation for this.

Wow.

He came out of

he kept, what is it, a week long?

Yeah, it's a week long.

And what do you got planned?

I know one of the things you have planned.

I thought you were still going on a cruise, which really surprised me.

No cruises, you know.

COVID cruise.

That's the only kind that exists anymore.

I'm just going down to Cape May.

This is the first vacation I've ever taken that I am going to be doing nothing but

R ⁇ R.

There's no major plans.

Like the girls and

their mother-in-law are going to be going to the beach, and I'm going to be left in the room, so I'm going to have nothing but like

sleep and sketching.

That's all I'm doing.

That's all you're doing?

That sounds pretty good.

Yeah, yeah, I'm really looking forward to it because it's like, this is the first, because most of the time when I go on vacation, it's like a torture test.

It's an endurance test.

Right.

You're getting poison apples on your feet.

It's all kinds of shit.

Well, there's so much fucking jam-packed on the itinerary.

I'm like, I'm fucking more tired on vacation than I am at home.

I'm doing more work and sweating more when I'm on vacation than I am when I'm actually, you know, my 9-5.

Now, Cape May is at the very tip of New Jersey, and it's widely regarded as sort of an old-person fuddy-duddy type place.

Because here's Wildwood, and then, you know, at one time I would have been like Wildwood or nothing.

Now, Wildwood wasn't.

I agree with you.

That's where fucking Bon Jovi filmed that video.

Yep.

Was it In and Out of Love?

I can't remember.

Yeah,

that was a party place.

That was before anybody got real excited about seaside because the jersey short was like oh my god we're going to wildwood

my grandmother used to march

you used to go to wildwood too it was wildwood was the was the place yeah yeah my grandmother used to march in the vfw parade every summer so we would go down and you know since there wasn't a lot of money it was like 10 people to the fucking to the little apartment thing.

It would be like us and then my aunt and uncle and Sean, you know, I remember and Carly.

My cousins, they would go to.

But like, I don't know, you just didn't give a fuck if you were sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag or on a kid.

Like, you just didn't give a shit.

You're young, man.

You're adventurous.

Yeah, what happens?

What happens to the adventure?

You wise up.

You're like, it's not that awesome to sleep on a floor with fucking 10 people.

Yeah, I guess so.

Unless it's an orgy going on, there's no reason to be on a floor with 10 people.

Or you're ducking for cover for one reason or another.

Did you see there's

a documentary on

Action Park coming up?

I think it's either just came out or it's coming out.

Did you go to Action Park when you were young?

I was there once.

I went there once as well.

You go there, Q?

I was there a couple of times.

I think Sal might have done an interview for this.

They asked us if we would do an interview as part of it.

And I didn't really have many memories of it, but I think Sal and Joe did

that documentary.

I went once when I was a kid, and then once when I heard how

disastrous it it was, I went to go check it out.

It just looked like a water park to me.

I wasn't like blown away by it.

No, I don't think you were supposed to be, but the

well, I guess they do want you to be blown away, but I think they were one of the first ones to have that circular, you know, like you go down the water slide and it goes in a loop.

And they were like, if people were too light, they wouldn't get the whole loop, and they would go back down, and somebody would smash into it.

That hurt all the fucking time.

That's what Johnny Knoxville, that movie's about, right?

The last movie he put out,

where he plays a guy who runs a water park.

It's based on Action Park.

I thought I was.

Oh, I didn't see it.

Oh, I didn't see it either, but that's what I just heard.

It comes from the Action Park bullshit.

I don't.

That has to be such a regional thing, though.

Does anybody really care about that in the rest of the country?

Action Park?

Yeah.

Probably not.

They used to call it Traction Park or

Class Action Park because so many people got hurt.

I personally got hurt going down the

Alpine slide once.

I got a nasty burn on my arm that carted on that cement track.

And then another time I crashed on a quad.

Really?

Yeah, because they were like,

you had to have a driver's license.

And of course, I didn't have one because I was 14.

And

they were like, well, just write down a number.

So I just wrote a number down, and they let me have this quad.

I'd never ridden one before.

Almost immediately, I go off the track into the woods.

I jumped in off that.

Remember that waterfall you used to jump off of?

Yeah.

There was like a cement ledge.

I jumped off that and I hit the bottom too hard and bumped my ankle, but I didn't get hurt.

But it just seemed like everything in that park was just designed to hurt you in one way or another.

Now, why, like, you know, people.

Today, everybody's real worked up about different social issues.

And you're like, you got to understand it was just the time.

And I think Action Park is another one of those things where, like, if you opened up a water park today where people were getting hurt

daily?

They did recently within this, well, during the time of us recording Tell Him, Steve, Dave, remember that gigantic water park where some kid got beheaded?

That was them?

Yeah.

I thought that was somewhere in like Ohio or some shit.

That was Action Park where kids got headed.

No, it's not Action Park, but there's

a park that opened up within modern times.

Right.

So ill conceived that a child with his head was fucking removed from his body.

That was

the tallest

one ever.

Yeah, yeah, we talked about it.

Yeah, I remember we talked about it.

So it's like during the time that we've been recording, this thing, this monstrosity, was built, and somehow, some way, it got co-approved by whoever

is on the board of water slide approvals.

World's tallest water slide.

When was this?

This was 2016.

So almost, it's coming up on four years ago.

10-year-old Caleb Schwab was decapitated while riding what had been dubbed the world's tallest water slide.

Oh, my God.

How does that happen?

168 feet tall.

He was found dead at the bottom of the ride in a pool.

He boarded the raft with two women who are not related to him, and they both suffered minor cuts and scrapes on their face in the incident.

Wait, what?

Yeah, that's what it says.

Basically, they're not really saying.

Okay, so here's an eyewitness account.

A witness said she was about to ride the water slide when she saw emergency responders below covering the boy and attending to two people who were injured.

He got ejected from his seat, bounced around in the netting and the slide, and then just fell down.

I mean, without having any context, what the slide looks like.

And that's why,

as a child, I didn't really go to Action Park.

Like, my biggest action was just the bus ride.

Yeah.

Yeah,

that's my mom told me that

you could die on any one of these rides.

And, you know, she was proven right

40 years later.

Once.

You know, I took it to heart, man.

I just was one of those kids that I believed what my mom told me.

You know, I never jumped off the bridge for the same reason.

Very, very young, Pam told me not.

A lot of people used to jump off the bridge in the town that we lived in.

And

it was almost like a rite of passage.

Like all through the 70s, they would jump off the bridge into the 80s, too.

And there was also a swing, like a rope swing underneath the bridge.

And it was what people used to do sometimes would be like, you know, it was one of those bridges, drawbridge, you call it?

Yeah, drawbridge.

Drawbridge.

And so it goes up, and then the bottom, the counterweight, is all the way down.

towards the water and this guy Tommy Mason, like people would jump up and they would hold on to it and then let go at the last second.

And Tommy Mason did not let go at the last second and it clipped off the tips of all his fingers.

Oh, shit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was a big story that summer.

Oh, yeah.

I remember seeing that.

He was an older kid than us, but I remember seeing him on the bus

after that, a tragedy, and just staring at his hand

and being like...

Fuck.

All his fingertips were gone?

All of them were gone, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

You know how hard it is, Q?

Like, you live in that small town, and you're one of the few boys that won't jump off it.

I mean, girls won't have lied, but you know that they had fucking admired all the boys who jumped off.

They were fucking,

they were catches.

And the guys who, guys who listen to their mother, oh, you're a fucking nerd.

You're a dweeb.

You're safe.

Yeah, well, I got all my digits.

There was

somebody jumped off that bridge.

No, used for them.

Yeah.

I just don't understand.

Like

you were getting that a lot.

Like the women were just

jump off the bridge or I'll never.

They would go watch.

They would go watch the guys jump off the bridge in their little.

They would be wearing jean shorts.

A lot of times jean shorts.

Oh, wow.

This sounds good.

Yeah, but now there's a new bridge up there.

There's no way to prove your manhood.

I went back, tried to do it.

Oh, you can't jump off the bridge.

No, you would break your neck.

Somebody, as soon as the bridge went up, somebody jumped off and hit like a cement pillar and died.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Like almost

immediately.

They weren't sure if it was a suicide or not.

That was a suicide.

Yeah, I mean, maybe.

But the guy hit like that cement foot on the bottom and then like rolled off into the water.

Well, I saw on IJade OQ, I mean, you guys jumped off a fucking tremendously high

thing

in that water.

Like that was like that rock jump and into the water.

Yeah.

Upstate New York.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, Deer Run.

I think it's called Deer Run or something, like

Deer Pad or something.

Yeah.

How high was that?

That was scary.

That was high.

What's up?

How high was it?

It was pretty high.

I think it was like 20 feet or something like that.

It gave me the willies, man.

It was high.

That was another

willies, like the nervousness in the pit of my stomach.

That had to be higher than 20 feet.

What's up?

That had to be higher than 20 feet.

I don't know.

20 feet's not that high, and you guys look pretty high up.

What's the place called?

Well, they do something with the camera angle to make it look either run.

It's It's kind of deer walk.

Oh, yes.

I don't know.

A little trick photography makes it.

It's all about perspective.

It looks higher.

I mean, I'm not taking anything away from it because it was high.

But that angle that they shoot.

They make it look higher than it really is, too, though.

I forget what it's called.

It's like

deer jump or deer walk.

Can you verify?

Maybe

I could look right now.

Hold on.

Can you verify that

there was some trick photography used and it wasn't really as high as it looked?

No, I mean, not consciously.

There wasn't a special

telephoto lens on there to give a weird tunnel vision on the camera.

They each look eight feet tall.

Doesn't have it.

I don't know.

I'm trying to find it online.

I know people have asked where it is and stuff like that, but I don't know if

no cliff jumping for you when you were young.

No, no.

Like, the daredevil is always going to be sexy.

There's just nothing you can do about it, but

and

to stay at home, stay in your lane guy

just doesn't get the same accolades as the daredevil.

Although he should.

Should he?

For being prudent?

I don't know why he should because it takes more discipline.

Rather than, yeah, I mean, Q, when you think about it, he really espouses all this shit.

Like, that Nitro Circus thing we went to, everybody like, I never saw so many guys do flips on mini-bikes in my life.

It was hours of guys guys doing flips on mini-bikes.

I can't find it.

Can't find it?

No.

Were you ever a Nitro Circus type?

Like, did you have a BMX that you would go off jumps and such?

I had a BMX, but

I wasn't a tricks guy.

The most I would do was like a wheelie.

Can you do a bunny hop?

Maybe some dirt jumps?

Now I couldn't.

No.

Could you ever do a bunny hop?

Nah, probably not well.

I might have just snuck one out.

You could?

Yeah.

Son, you're a human, not a bunny.

You don't want to be hopping your bike around.

I was on my bike, I was a little daredevilish.

At least I thought so.

Like, I tried, like, with the Fond shit, I tried to jump over garbage cans.

I tried to jump over my sister.

I landed on her stomach with my back tire.

That was.

Other than that, yeah.

But it seems like the guys who are doing daredevil tricks on bicycles, though, like usually they can do cool tricks when they're like, you know, late teens.

It's not, to me anyway, it didn't, it always felt like you're way too old to be riding a bike.

You're too old to ride a bike, but the shit that people do at those X games, you're like, oh my fucking God.

They're like 30, 40 feet in the air.

They're like, they're spinning the bike around.

It's nuts.

I feel the same way about skateboarders.

Like, not even professionals, but when I see somebody skateboarding around that's like over 20, I'm like, seriously?

And if they're in their fucking late 30s, early 40s, forget it.

I judge the shit out of them.

I'm like, really?

You love it that much.

And they probably do.

Otherwise, why would they have a skateboard?

Could you skateboard Q?

Yeah,

I could skateboard without falling off.

Can you play with tricks and shit like that?

No, I could do that Marty McFly thing where he hits the back and he catches it.

Oh, really?

That's about it.

Kick-flip.

I think also in this city, in Manhattan, and definitely in Brooklyn, it's different, Brian.

There's a lot of people who use skateboards because there's no, it's better than using

a car walking.

Brooklyn?

I wouldn't mock.

It's a bunch of fucking hipster douchebags.

Of course, they're riding around on skateboards.

Some of them, some of them, but they've had people who've always kind of used them and shit like that.

They've never gone out of sight here.

I may take some lumps for this, but I don't like girls skateboarding either.

I know it sounds weird.

You're going to take lumps for me?

Sure, at least.

I feel like girls who skateboard, like, not all of them, 98% of them are like, I just have something to prove.

I can do it too.

Well, I mean, it doesn't

have something to prove.

Yeah, but I mean, if you like it, if you actually like it, okay.

But if you're doing it just to prove something, I don't know.

There's just something about it.

I feel like they're like, hey, us two.

Yeah, I don't know why.

I don't, I'm not even saying it's rational.

I'm just saying

that's the way I feel.

It's completely irrational.

I don't know.

I asked Mary Beth.

She said that she used to skateboard and she just was trying to fit in, trying to be a part of something.

And I was like, see?

Who is that?

You fucking pathetic loser.

Who is this?

Mary Beth.

So the person you love most on the planet did it, so you assume it's bunk for all women.

Yeah.

Yeah, my mother wouldn't let me have a skateboard.

I never rode a skateboard either.

Never even rode one.

How are you allowed to go to the wreck and play football?

She must have not known.

Football is different.

I mean, it wasn't tackle.

We would play tackle, but I wouldn't tell her.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And it was on cement, wasn't it?

Well, yeah, then it was two-hand touch on cement, but we would play some beach football we would tackle.

And

but I, yeah, I don't think she, but yeah, but anything on wheels, like, you know, plus, you know, it had that connotation, you know, there was, you know, that you were going to break your arm, maybe break your neck,

maybe wind up in a wheelchair forever.

Ugh.

You know?

Do you think, I mean, right now, if, like,

I were to be like paralyzed from the neck down, I'd probably be like, just kill me.

Like, don't, come on, man.

Give me a solid and just kill me.

so that does does mb fucking follow through uh you're like for you on you for your you come in on the uh come in down the aisle on a skateboard

for you

you're horrible i'm like i finally get it

you trip

you're paralyzed from the waist down but you said i do before before you lost consciousness like now i'm your obligation

and so was sage yeah

your life just changed irrevocably.

So I'm on my way back down the aisle and I'm like, whoa!

This one's for love.

I try to jump.

I'm trying to show off in front of everybody.

Look at me.

I'm young, just like her.

I think we talked about it.

There was a, this is a couple of years back.

We were definitely doing Telm Steve David at at the time.

A maid of honor pushed the bride into a pool like they're fucking around and she got paralyzed.

How do you

I read also that they had like sort of not they were trying they were friends for a little while after that, but then they just sort of stopped being friends.

Somebody does that to you.

Could you forgive them?

Because it's a total accident.

I don't like people pushing other people in pools unless they're like in a bathing suit or whatever already.

Somebody in their clothes getting pushed into a pool, it's like, I don't get the joke.

They have shit in their pockets, like cell phones and fucking wallets and stuff you may not necessarily want to get wet.

So I don't really quite get it.

Horseplay and falderall.

Shenanigans.

It's terrible.

Yeah, I don't like that either.

I've never been a fan of that.

If I had to spend the week of my life doing the shit that I did when I was a teenager, like the going out and hanging out with my friends and like just trying shit and riding my bike places and like hanging out until like two in the morning and exploring shit all around Staten Island and stuff like that.

If you told me I had to do that for seven days straight, I would be like, please don't make me do this.

It's like

what if you were getting paid for it?

What if they were going to do like a little mini dock on queue?

Like you go back to your 14, 15 year old days.

I mean, if the point of it is to show how miserable I am and I'm getting paid, then yeah, all right, I'll do that.

It's not like I want to to do half the shit I do at my job anyway.

So,

but, but man, that's, I'm just saying what you said before, like it changes at some point.

Somebody's like, eh, I'm not going to jump off that bridge anymore.

Right.

I don't want to sleep on floors anymore.

Don't want to sleep on floors.

Like, even like, I have a mountain bike and I rode by Hartshorn the other day.

When I was in the early 90s, that's all I wanted to do.

Go up there, mountain bike.

It was really fun.

Now I'm like, I can't imagine the circumstances in which I'd want a mountain bike.

Really?

I don't know why, though.

I don't know why I lose interest in things like that.

Oh, well, it's been a pattern.

Yeah,

that's true.

Lily pad, like you, like you say.

Interested in one thing and then uninterested the next, or sometimes even the next minute or hour.

It's a curiosity, bud.

That's all I do.

I like to try all kinds of new stuff.

What's wrong with that?

If those girls with their skateboards could do it, right?

Yeah, I wasn't good at skateboarding either.

I remember there was, uh i mean it was big in the 70s everybody had a fucking skateboard and uh there was a guy i remember him you know this is diff difficult to sort of convey but very sort of steep hill uh at uh windmore apartments and i remember watching a guy do a handstand on a skateboard yeah and going down yeah like tricks were all the rage man

yeah they loved it never good at tricks either people do what guys do tricks though because it was i mean it's all about impressing

impressing the girls yeah That's the only reason a dude gets on a skateboard and goes down a fucking hill, a dead man's curve hill.

So it wasn't for me.

There's no other reason why guys will do shit like that.

Very exciting, Jen and Dean.

That's not true.

Some people just like skateboarding, man.

There's a skill to it.

There's definitely a skill to it.

Oh, yeah, definitely.

So why wouldn't they want to?

You don't think evil can evil is just out to fucking snag some fucking tang, fucking jump on Snake River?

Let me reset and start it this way.

I think everything that men do is mostly to get laid across the board.

So, yes, I agree with you in theory,

but I think that some people do it just to enjoy it.

I mean, it's fucking fun.

The adrenaline?

I guess.

How come I don't need adrenaline?

Probably because you were never taught to

embrace or

like the feeling of adrenaline, it sounds like you even acknowledge it.

Yeah.

Yeah, it sounds like you were just taught to like kind of like not look at adrenaline at all.

Now, did you turn around and teach your girls the same thing?

Like, adrenaline is not for you.

No adrenaline junkies in this house.

I don't think I taught them that.

I just think it's, it just happened.

You know, I just think it's in

Flanagan.

It's in your DNA.

They just don't seem to have the adrenaline need.

You know, it just doesn't like, it's like a poison.

Really?

You start feeling ill.

It's like a poison.

It's like Walt, no shenanigan Flanagan.

It's like, it's no.

That's what they called him in high school.

Buy the book.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, but it's not fucking, it's not glamorous.

It's not fucking, you know, no one's ever going to fucking, like, when I'm not in the room, no one's going to be like talking about, did you see that guy who just sat there?

It's amazing.

Oh, I don't think that's true.

I think I've heard people mention that before.

But not in a good way where they're like, man.

Oh, they admire you.

Yeah, yeah.

There's no one fucking like.

You're right.

That I haven't heard.

There's no one talking about, like, they're talking about dudes doing ollies and

all sorts of shit.

Yeah, no one's talking about that guy that walked in and immediately walked out of the room because there was too many people in there.

There's too much adrenaline in this room.

I'm out.

Look at all the ollies going on around here, man.

This place is awesome.

I don't even know what an ollie is.

I don't know what I just remember the term.

I think it's when you like grab the skateboard and pick up both of your heels and try to have your heels touch your butt, and you hold the skateboard in your hand.

Is that what an ollie is?

It's like something that Gene Kelly would have done in the fucking 40s, I think.

Spinning around on a lamppost.

Let's see, how to Ollie.

Girls, you don't need to to listen to this part.

Oh, I think, yeah, I think you're right.

Walt, you kind of like

pulling the board up.

Yeah, I think that's all it really is.

I couldn't do it.

I mean, it's still impressive to this point.

There you go.

So, how does he do it?

So, it looks like he goes way.

I couldn't do that just because of my fucking knee at this point.

He's riding his skateboard.

He does a deep knee bend.

Then somehow he hops up.

Yeah, you got to push that back foot back somehow to bring it.

I don't know how the fuck a skateboard defies gravity and cuss in the air.

It looks like he's flying.

It's a hoverboard.

Nice.

All right, he's kidding skateboarding efforts.

So, I mean, that looks like that would be fun.

So, maybe, guys, there's a skate park down on Staten Island.

Maybe we should go down and do some interviews when the COVID ends and see what these kids are up to.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll wear our Avril Levine skater boy shirts.

We'll blend right in.

You bring your Jaws skateboard.

That's a great reference.

A little skater boy action for the girls.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Pop on it.

Do they wear helmets or are they like the people who wear helmets, like they'll wear helmets but not strap them on so that when they go flying, so does the helmet, and then they get brain damage.

I feel like they wear helmets at this point.

You don't really see a lot of people not wearing helmets anymore.

We used to skate around.

We used to rollerblade around.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Got a little bit of adrenaline.

That's true.

That's right.

You know, maybe I am being a little too hard on myself.

In line skating.

You keep being hard on yourself, Walt, because you should just accept how you are.

Oh, definitely.

I accept it.

I'm just I just kind of resent that society fucking puts these daredevils on a fucking pedestal.

I think they're so fucking courageous.

Not enough sensible people are on that list.

Yeah, there's something about being sensible that doesn't draw the eye.

For whatever reason, Pam used to argue about that.

She was a nurse.

And she'd be like, why do these sports stars make so much money?

And, you know, nurses who save people's lives make this much.

And I'm like, because nobody wants to fucking watch you do it.

You know?

Only the freakiest of people would want you to fuck watch a baby being born.

Yeah, you won't fill a stadium with 100,000 cheering people for

a nurse changing a baby's diaper.

No way.

Nobody cares.

In fact, I would go out of my way not to watch it.

Right.

And plus, like, there's a skill to baseball where it's like

a crackhead could give birth.

So it's like, there's like a,

you know what I mean?

Like, never put, never was it put so eloquently or put in perspective,

like a fucking unconscious crackhead could give birth.

That I might watch, though.

Like telling me, like, oh, yeah, she's fucking spun or she's fucking flipping out on angel dust.

There's a birth I'd want to watch.

But a regular one would just be disgusting.

Right.

You know, but I'll pay to go see, you know, Jeter fucking play ball.

Are they having football this year, Walt?

Supposedly, training camps open, you know, very, very soon.

Baseball is right around the corner is going to open.

Basketball, I mean, every all the sports are coming back in theory, but...

No fans, right?

No, no fans.

But who knows if it'll ever if it's, you know, I think,

you know, one big outbreak or maybe even a

small break could all, you know,

torpedo it and they'll have to shut it all down, I imagine.

And they're bringing baseball back, even though it would be so late in the season.

They're like, we can make a couple bucks anyway.

It's going to be a very short season.

Is it 60 games, right, Walt?

Yeah, I guess that would be half of the season, right?

Yeah, roughly.

Now, as a Yankee fan, would you want to see the Yankees win a shortened season like this, a COVID season, or would you rather be like, you know what, I'd rather them win it during a real season or a season where it felt like it was.

I'd take it.

I'd take it.

You know why?

Because for the first time in about a decade, I would be able to sit down and watch baseball.

I haven't been able to do that in so long that I got out of touch with the Yankees and all sports, really.

I haven't been able to keep up with anything.

So it's like, I can't wait for them to come back.

I could actually sit down and fucking watch a game or two and like follow it.

I'm pretty excited.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, I mean, do you think they'll make it through with

no stoppages?

Maybe.

I mean, if they don't have fans, then maybe.

Why not?

WWE's been going this whole time, and those are two dudes wrestling.

Yeah, how is it that they've been able to.

But they have had cases, though, pop up, though, right?

Yeah, they've had cases in the locker room, for sure.

I don't know.

I'm sure it's there.

He's a billionaire, so he knows other billionaires, so he just gets what he wants.

It's impossible for wrestlers to socially distance while wrestling, right?

Absolutely not.

Just checking.

Double-checking with Q to make sure.

He's the wrestling expert.

That's true.

They've changed things because I don't watch wrestling.

Are they staying six feet apart?

Would that hurt the sport Q if they had to socially distance while wrestling?

Yeah.

Like pantomiming.

Thumb wrestling.

Yeah.

But I would watch, I can't wait to watch a fucking ball game.

I don't know.

I know it'll be weird with no fans in the stand, but I can't wait.

Or would you be a proponent for the suggestion that they want to pipe in fake crowd crowd noise for the people at home?

No, they actually do that on wrestling.

It's very distracting.

I wish they wouldn't do that.

Why don't they put fake crowds in, like shots of the crowds

as if they're there, but it's really just from a different game?

That would be fucking awesome if they did that, but they used crowds from like the 70s and 80s.

Yeah.

From then, and they cut to the crowd from there.

That would be awesome.

Yeah, why not?

It was a different-looking crowd back then.

They say the crowds

back back in the day were much more classier.

You know, they dressed in their fedoras and they wore suits to games.

No, the 70s.

You're talking like

the 1920s.

They wore fur coats.

I don't think New Yorkers in the 1970s were going to Yankee stadiums and the Bronx

in fucking suits and straw hats and fur raccoon coats.

Pennants, they say, team.

Q, do do you eat breakfast?

I do.

I didn't use to, but now I do.

Why?

What's up?

I was just wondering.

Nothing special.

We know Walt doesn't.

He's not a big breakfast guy.

Did you get your magic spoon?

What are you talking about?

You didn't get any magic spoon?

Oh, I don't need.

I don't eat.

Oh, I see what you're saying.

Yes, I did get magic spoon.

Got it.

We got magic spoon as a sponsor.

Did I get you?

I got it.

I got the magic spoon.

Is it being enjoyed in your household?

Yeah, I fucking love Magic Spoon, man.

That shit showed up one day, and you guys didn't even tell me it was coming.

I started eating it, and I was like, this is phenomenal.

Four boxes of cereal.

Yeah.

This is what we're talking about.

Mary Beth said that her aunt is a diabetic.

And without knowing that we were pimping Magic Spoon, she was raving on and on about it, how it saved her life.

Because I guess she wanted sweet stuff, but she couldn't afford to eat really sweet stuff.

So she just ate magic spoon.

Zero sugar, 11 grams of protein, and only 3 grams of carbs in each serving.

And they got four flavors.

Cocoa, fruity, frosted, and blueberry.

Fruity was my jam.

That's what I liked.

Honestly, Walt, too good to be true.

Keto-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free.

What is in this stuff?

GMO-free?

And low carbs.

Magic spoon flavor.

I already told you it's fruity.

It's almost like fruity pebbles.

Magic Spoon is totally, as well as all those other things like GMO and keto and gluten.

But I do actually recommend it.

It was very good.

I like two other cereals, but two of these I really liked.

They were the fruity and the frosted.

Those I dug.

So go to Magic Spoon.

You like the frosty ones?

I did.

I liked the frosted ones.

We thank Magic Spoon for sponsoring the podcast.

Thank you, Magic Spoon.

That would be a good cartoon, don't you think?

Like

how that kid had the magic flute and Steady had the magic spoon.

HR puff and stuff?

Yeah.

Jody, was that his name?

He cooks up heroin in his magic spoon.

Yeah.

He injects himself and then he goes on adventures.

He does a speedball and he gets adventuresome and all the girls are like, woo!

He gets real high, jumps off a bridge, he gets laid.

Is there an age where that ends where the girls stop being impressed with that shit?

There has to be.

Yeah, I think it's in their 50s.

Oh, yeah.

Deb finally came around.

She's like, all right, I accept you and your lack of adrenaline.

It comes with menopause.

Do you feel more mortal now than you used to?

Do you ever think about it?

I don't really think about it.

No, I never think about that sort of thing because it's

only

cause you to feel

not in your best state of mind, you know, to me.

So I just like power through any of those thoughts.

I think about it, and then it's like it all comes back to, like, then why?

Why?

Why all this shit?

Why?

What's it for?

Oh, that's too deep.

I know.

I don't have the answers.

None of us have the answers to that shit.

But I do.

I sit there and I'm like, and then I think about like, you know, Mary Beth being so much younger.

I'm like, after I fucking kick, that bitch is going to be partying on like fucking Wayne and Garth.

I don't like it.

Yeah, but all that Tell him Steve Dave's magic spoon money.

Oh, my God.

People are going to be driving my cars, living in my house, wearing

my meundies, and eating my magic spoon.

I mean, if you really want the answer to those questions, I don't know if you really do, though.

Somebody can tell me.

Well, yeah, I mean,

it's all about God.

No.

I know you didn't want to hear it.

No.

Immediately, I'll tell you what the answer is, and you're like, no.

That's the easy answer that it's like, oh, it's just some heavenly dude.

It's some heavenly dude who's just casting judgment on you.

And you might go to a fucking eternal torture because you did this and this.

That's the way the guy is.

He still might.

Oh, for me, it's definitely happening.

Yeah.

That's why I think I'm so worried.

Every day I'm like, shit, it's a day closer.

It's too late to be good.

Because that's the thing.

People, if they're being good for just some sort of divine reward cue,

should they get into heaven?

They're doing it.

That was the deal.

They're doing it for the wrong reasons.

He told you what the deal was.

He said, they're doing it for the wrong reasons.

No.

I don't know.

He did set up the rules.

I mean, he was like, do this, and you'll get in.

He doesn't care about the reasons that

he sent down to Moses.

Yeah.

He sent down to Moses.

I'm agreeing with you.

And if we don't listen, well, okay, we were told.

I agree.

I agree with you.

Hold on.

Me and you are saying the same thing.

Well, let me close my Rose McGowan nude window to open up Ten Commandments window.

You went to a Catholic school, right, Q?

I did, yeah, a high school, Catholic high school.

You were taught all the things that you needed to learn.

Yeah, I went to Catechism School.

They drilled all that shit in my head, for sure.

Yeah,

I don't believe any of it.

You think you'll find your way back to that at some point, or now you think you've kind of just...

I mean, maybe when I'm older, I guess.

You know how they say there are no atheists in the trenches?

I'll talk to anyone in my fucking deathbed, and then suddenly I'll be like, like, ah, you know, God.

All right, so there's a couple.

There's a couple different translations of these Ten Commandments, all right?

So I'll just go with this one: I am the Lord your God.

You should not have strange gods before me.

Now, I don't think they mean a god-like in the sense of like

something holy, maybe as much as like something you worship, whether it be money or

daredevilry, any sort of

you shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

That is that's too hard.

It's interesting that that is on the same list as thou shall not kill.

Yeah, you cannot murder people.

You cannot say, God damn it.

And what do you think about the loophole, like this workaround that a lot of southern people use?

They say GD.

Is that really a workaround?

I don't think so.

It's the same as saying, like, oh, N-word.

Like, it's like, you know, what they're saying.

They say GD.

But

they're not saying JC, though.

No, goddamn it.

Instead of saying goddamn it, they'll say GD.

Because they're like, oh, I didn't really say it.

You know what?

Purgatory.

I think God likes a little bit of ingenuity.

Oh, yeah.

And

I think he might wink at that and be like, all right.

You got me on that one.

Well played.

Well played.

You got me on that one.

You know, here's a couple extra fucking years on

your ticket.

There you go.

Honor your mother and father.

Honor your mom.

Yeah, well, I mean, this one's difficult to do for some people.

It is.

I mean, there's no if, ands, or buts about it.

This one, you may have, you may have drawn

a card where it's impossible to honor them.

Yeah.

Because they were so crappy to you.

And whose fault is that?

Not mine.

Exactly.

God.

Yeah.

Hey, man,

look in the mirror, bro.

It's not God's fault.

You're the one who set this shit up.

Yeah, you put me here.

Yeah.

You can't kill.

Never killed anybody.

So.

Have you ever.

Have you ever.

Who did I kill?

Oh, you talk about murdering puss?

Yeah.

Didn't you talk about paying for abortions and shit?

I did pay for it.

The doctor's the one going to hell, not me.

It is perfectly normal for humans to have homicidal thoughts, right?

It's just the people who act on them are the ones that like that don't have that firewall between I want to kill this motherfucker to like, I'm going to kill this motherfucker.

I think it all is about context, though.

If you're like having homicidal thoughts because you saw a pretty girl fucking across the street while you're on a red light, as opposed to a guy who fucking rear-ends you because you didn't, because

you were staring at that girl for too long and you get in an argument with that guy?

It's all about context, though.

If you're just thinking about, like, you know, just chopping that girl up into little itty-bitty pieces, yeah, that's not normal.

That is weird.

That's, I didn't think about that, which I guess is a good thing.

I was thinking about the guy who rear-ends me, pissing me off so much.

I'm like, I want to kill this guy.

Yeah.

I never even considered.

Well, even in the range of homicidal thoughts, there has to be a normal range and then a fucking creeping towards that fucking moral firewall thing where somebody's like, that ass would look good sliced up in my fireplace.

I mean, I have to admit, I have thought that before, but

the murdering of a girlfriend,

but certainly not displaying.

It would be hiding instead.

Oh, shit.

Q.

I don't know.

See, can you back out of any of these?

Like, if you've already committed this sin, are you done for?

No.

No.

No, you can always atone.

That's the greatest thing about

what he said down.

Like, none of this shit matters.

At the last second, you'd be like, sorry.

yeah, everybody's a sinner.

And as long as you really, truly

go on bent knee and say you're sorry and

take the

love and

all the other

schlamouzel schlamazo with it, you're fucking in.

All right.

You can't commit adultery.

That's the next one.

Well, these guys were never married.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

All right.

So

she's the adulterer.

She's not an adulterer.

She is.

She's the adulterer.

Yeah.

So both people aren't the adulterer.

All right.

That's one less I got to worry about.

Yeah.

You can't steal.

Everybody's done it.

Everybody's done it.

I steal ladies' hearts on the rig.

Does that count?

It does not.

Okay, good.

Good.

Yeah, I can't tell you the last time I stole something, but I've definitely stolen shit in my life.

Of course.

Everyone's taken it.

I regret it.

I kind of regret it.

I wish I hadn't done it.

I stole the Sunday fucking newspaper the other day.

Did you really?

Yeah.

On purpose?

Yeah, it was on purpose.

I put it at the bottom of the cart knowing that the guy probably wouldn't even see it.

That's why I put all my groceries on here because I was like, fucking $2.50 for a newspaper.

That's insane.

There's no way it should cost this much.

I agree.

But I feel that way about every item in the cart, so I just want to push it out the door.

They're struggling to stay in business.

Print media's edited his last breath.

Oh my God.

Fuck the news anyway.

It's all bullshit.

You should be stealing it.

I just buy it for the sale papers.

Oh, yeah, for the circulars?

I presented the circular to Mary Beth, and she's like,

this is out of my face.

I was like, oh, sorry, I didn't know we were so wealthy.

We can't fucking.

Holy fuck, she's got magic spoon bottles.

I know.

I wasn't aware.

It was like, she's like, let me do the shopping.

We should cut coupons together, huh?

Yeah, we could do like one of those super couponers where like we make money

all we got to do is fill the whole house with shit we don't need uh you can't bear false witness against your neighbor don't even know what that means i don't know either it doesn't basically don't lie

don't lie about someone

i think that's just like you know don't bear for false witness is not just lying

yeah like don't lie about people don't lie about shit in general well it says against your neighbor.

I don't think they mean like your neighbor neighbor, like the dude next door.

I think this is the hardest one of all, though, for people to, you know, because

people lie every day.

Little white lies.

We're lying to ourselves right now.

Yeah.

I lied about that newspaper.

I really didn't steal a newspaper, Q.

You're still in as much trouble.

Swear to you.

I swear I didn't steal that newspaper.

You want a Coke or what or something?

No, I'm going to coke.

I did steal that newspaper.

I think everybody knew that.

I forgot that they were struggling out there.

Saying out loud.

I'm going to go pay for it on the way home.

Yeah, they'll be like, wait, what?

Just stay right here.

You can't covet your neighbor's wife.

Have you found yourself doing that?

You have any neighbors with hot wives?

I do, actually.

And I got to say, that's out of my control.

I can't not look at

some eye candy.

Well, isn't that coveting?

Isn't that it?

Like, you look at it and you're like, oh, yeah.

If you think anything about it while you're looking.

Well, I think it's okay to think it.

I think it's covet means to make actions, to put plans into place.

I thought covet was just desiring.

Oh, really?

Okay, we may be wrong.

Let's see.

Let's look up the

Webster's term.

Well, as long as you admit it.

Yearn or possess to have something.

So you're like, damn, I wish I could have her too.

I don't feel that way.

But I have a neighbor with an attractive wife where I'm like, oh, shit, she looks good.

But I think neighbors,

neighbor just means like your fellow man.

So before you committed adultery with that adulterer, you were coveting your neighbor's wife.

Oh, that's for sure.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

But those are the bad old days, man.

This is an all-new queue.

What turned you around?

God?

I think the fire, like, I think turning 30, like getting into the fire department and just being like, oh, man, I don't have to fucking dip myself into the ugly side of the world anymore.

I could just try and fucking be a good person.

Did you just say when you turned 30?

Yeah, I think so.

I remember it being a little later than that.

I remember still living in L.A.

Well, I was living in L.A.

in my late 20s.

Yeah, but no, I was.

I had gone back.

You were in the fire department, and I remember you coming out to L.A.

and explaining a situation to me.

Yeah.

I mean, I didn't say it was perfect, but I mean, I'd say that was about the time.

It might have been early 30s, though.

Like, thinking about it, it probably was early 30s.

I don't think I turned 30 and it switched off.

I mean,

that sort of time frame is when I started really changing as a person.

I think the fire department just straightened me out all the way.

Not all the way.

I think there's people who, though, who are listening right now who may be coveting.

And there's like things you can do to make up for those thoughts.

I think there's self-flagellation.

But I think that that is something that, like, that you can do if you're feeling impure thoughts about, you know, about your neighbor's wife.

I mean, you could do some sort of, like, it doesn't have to be like, like, you know, like, draw blood, but like, maybe just punch yourself in the face.

Are you talking to me or not?

No, no, no, no.

People listening.

I'm not doing any of this.

No, I didn't mean you.

I said people who are listening who may be who are maybe in that boat, though, right now.

I got you.

Punch yourself in the face.

Pick a tooth loose, but not out.

Right.

Unless you keep doing it.

Then you got to take yourself more seriously.

I think that's how Kiddo lost his two front teeth, not from a pool noodle.

Coveting his neighbor's wife.

I don't know.

Like, I look around at the wives on my block, and I don't feel like there's much to covet.

Personally, I'm not into it, you know?

So I'm clear on that.

Yeah, I don't think it legit, I think it means literally your neighbor.

I think it just any man is your neighbor.

Right.

Yeah.

So if I'm coveting somebody's wife secretly.

Yeah, you're probably just going to

stop me.

All right.

And then the last one is: you can't covet your neighbor's goods.

Now, how fucking hard is that, too?

Somebody has something that you're like, damn, that's really cool.

I wish I had the money for it.

Like, why should you fucking be in trouble for that?

Well, I mean, because you should be happy with what God has given you.

He didn't give me shit.

He gave you life.

Okay.

Oh, thanks.

He's giving you life.

Oh, we got to take him away at a later date.

He's giving you this beautiful world, man.

He's giving you the stars, the moon,

the COVID, the grass, the protests.

Yeah, but that asshole next door gets to see all that in the Mercedes-Benz.

Yeah.

He gets to look at it from his convertible Benz.

Yeah, fuck that guy.

It's hard.

I mean, this is, look, if it was easy,

everybody'd be up in heaven.

It's got to be a challenge.

Don't you think that that also is something that's got like you guys don't actively look at what other people have in life and be like, I want that anymore, right?

Like, that's it happens, right?

That goes away, too.

Yeah, I'd say from time to time, I would be like, wow, it would be really cool to have that.

Not in a way that I deserve it, but it's like something that is out of my price range.

But I'm like, that would be cool to have.

Or I drive by a really nice home and I'm like, man, what does that guy have to do to own this home?

I would love to own a home.

Beyond impractical jokers.

You know, I think that's just now.

I think everybody does that.

This is one of the hardest ones to like break the habit of doing this.

Yeah, you live in a crooked house and you fucking drive by a nice house.

Trust me, thoughts start swirling in your head that you don't mind going to hell for.

Yeah, but

to me,

that doesn't mean the same thing to me, I think.

You're not looking at that like, oh, fuck, I got a perfectly good house, but I want that house for no reason just because he has it.

You're saying, I want a house, you know, that's structurally sound.

I I don't think that that's coveting your neighbors.

I don't think that's like being jealous.

You're like just being like, hey, man, it would be nice to have a fucking house that doesn't lean to the left.

I think that if you moved into a nice house and then some motherfucker built a bigger house next door and you were like, well, now I got to build my house bigger.

I think that's kind of what it means.

Then you're covered.

Like, it doesn't mean just accept whatever shit you get in life and don't try and.

I never would have moved out of my apartment if that was a, if that was a.

Well, no, no, I don't think it means you can't improve your station or you can't improve the things that you have.

There's no, there's no, nothing wrong with that, but like, I guess, like, try to appreciate what you do have the more than you, you know, resent what you don't have.

I think that may be the message.

I could be wrong, though.

I don't disagree with that.

What I meant, I guess, was not that don't you find you don't want to improve your station life.

I guess what I meant is like, you don't look at other people with jealousy and

anger.

It depends on what they have.

It depends.

If, like, let's say, if someone, if you're sick right now and you see somebody who's like a real piece of shit and they're healthy, you could be like,

you know, it's like, you know,

this one's the most difficult one of all because I would think that like it's just human nature, like, to resent and to

feel

like you want

what somebody else has.

I don't know if it's human nature, but it's very, very difficult.

I think also with the coveting the neighbor's wife, it's a matter of, and I know that you've done this, Q.

I think a lot of guys do this.

And even if you're in a relationship and you don't have any interest in the girl, you look at a girl with a guy and you're like, that guy?

Trust me, I know he named it me.

I mean, I know for a fact.

But even as a regular guy, like sometimes you look at, like a girl that you consider attractive and you look at the guy, you're like, him?

Yeah.

yeah, but sometimes you look at guys like that, and I'm like, good for him, man.

I'm glad that's going on in the world.

You know, that's a good attitude, Q.

If I see, like, but I'm talking about, like, if you saw like a, like, uh, like a, like a, like a fat dude with like a, like a supermodel, I would be like, good, good for them.

I'm happy, but I'm happy about that.

I'm not talking about like a fucking asshole douchebag that you're like, fuck this fucking guy.

Yeah, and not even that, but you know how like there's people you meet that are just kind of like off-putting, they're arrogant or they're they're whatever.

That I that I'm just like, that that guy's a dickhead, he doesn't deserve it.

But like in terms of mismatched out-of-the-league shit, I always applaud the guys or girls that get people that are

some would say out of their league.

I like that if they can manage it,

yeah.

I've managed it, I've done it, you know what I mean.

You get girls out of your league sometimes, it's nice exactly what you mean, yeah.

So, you know, you got to root for the underdogs, like Walt said.

You got it, right?

Who the fuck roots for the winners?

The Yankee fans?

Yeah.

Oh, not for a while, bro.

I mean, it's been, you know, it's been a bit, but yeah.

Yeah.

Q, what kind of underpants you got on?

Ah, meundies.

Fuck yeah.

You need

all your stuff down there protected, and that's what they're good at, meundies, protecting your genitalias.

So

they have soft and soft, sustainable undies and fun prints like Back to the Future and lots of colors so you can be comfy being you.

And that's what's important these days, being you, not everyone else's expectation of you.

Let's see, right now,

they're asking, what underwear are you wearing at this very moment?

Does it feel...

Okay, I'm not going to read that part.

This very moment?

Me undies.

I got my panda prints on.

How much more fun would it be?

Would you be having right now if your undies were covered in...

No, pandas are sushi rolls.

I'm telling you, I'm having a ball.

So yes, you're right.

Uh,

do you guys feel your underpants define you as a person?

Like, you stripped down, have you got saggy, fucking tidy whiteys with a yellow fucking stain in the front?

But this goes against, though, being you, though, because well, that was my question, they didn't ask that.

Oh, I was gonna say, because this goes against the very talking points that, like, you're you should, you shouldn't be defined by what you wear

underneath.

You gotta, right?

Like, Q, you're you're with a girl stripping down and instead of meundies she's got grandma fucking uh she's got her big old period panties on and like

does she change it changes nothing phenomenal

changes nothing my goal is to have them off no matter what oh

go to hell q yeah it'll be worth it i'll see you there you can get a meundis membership and systematically replace the shoddy underpants you're wearing now a meundis membership is a monthly subscription that sends new pairs right to your door so you can keep your undies drawer stocked fresh and fun.

Walt, you know you love them.

Pass them on to your lady.

In other words, match your bottom half to your better half.

Now, who's your better half?

You have to say it.

You have to give a certain answer, right?

I think, you know what?

As shocking as this is going to sound, I think my upper part of my body is my better half.

I don't think that's what they're referring to.

They're not saying what half of you is, but they're saying, like, you never heard that?

Like, your wife is your better half?

Like, this is my better half.

Yeah.

Oh,

so you meant like at the belly button up is my better half belly button down, which is my better half.

You know, as crazy as people are like laughing as I said that, but yeah, I think that's crazy.

With this mug and these fucking choppers, it's still my better half than what's down below.

Because you're counting your feet.

You're counting your feet.

I'll count every it's the whole fucking package for lack of it.

See, my better half is belly button below.

Like, my feet aren't so bad, my legs are in shape, but above that is

fucking nightmare city.

I guess they're not for you.

If you're smaller than fucking extra small, you need a diaper.

Yeah, exactly.

Myundis doesn't make them yet.

Walt, I have a nice story for you.

I know you're going to like this one.

We usually talk about horrendous shit like disobeying all the

Ten Commandments.

Yes.

But here's a feel-good story I saw.

A dedicated dog trekk 60 miles miles to get back to her old home.

Oh my god, I love stories like this.

Cleo the canine

trekks 60 miles from her new home in Kansas to her old home in Missouri, where she hasn't lived for nearly two years.

She had to cross a river, either the Kansas or Missouri, or maybe both, to make her way back.

She's a four-year-old Labrador, and she settled in on the house's front porch, startling the family who lives there now.

So basically,

they went to the vet, they checked her for a microchip, and figured out that she belonged to the people that lived there two years before.

I swear to God, dogs should run the world.

They're better than us.

How does a dog do that?

I don't know.

Because they're smart.

They're smart, and they got a great sense of smell, but motherfucker, two years.

You plotted your escape two years as a dog, and then finally you're like, this is it.

I might have to cross two rivers, but fuck it, I'm getting back home.

And then they go.

Cats do it?

Yeah.

Remember that movie, Far From Home?

Yeah.

Yeah.

With the dog, and was it two dogs and a cat or two cats and a dog?

Yeah, I think it was two dogs and a cat and Michael J.

Fox.

I don't remember that.

That shit will fucking

they should play that in fucking jails to calm the prisoners down just on a loop.

You think that's what would do it?

Is that

I'm telling you, man, like when the shit's getting volatile in there and they're like, they're look talking about we may have a ride on our hands, pop in fucking Far From Home and Far From Home part two, even though it wasn't as good as part one.

They got lost again?

They got lost a second time.

Maybe they're not as smart as we love you today.

All I'm seeing is Spider-Man Far From Home.

I don't know.

Yeah, it was like Michael J.

Fox's one.

I don't know if it wasn't Far From Home.

Well, there's Far From Home, The Adventures of the Yellow Dog.

No, you're talking about the one where they're friends, right?

Yeah, I thought Michael J.

Fox is one of the voices.

Let's see.

The 90s.

Michael J.

I remember you talking about it.

I took my.

Was it Homeward Bound, Walt?

Yeah, Homeward Bound.

That's it.

Yeah, Homeward Bound.

The Incredible Journey.

Yeah.

Wait, you took them to the theaters to see it?

It must have been second run.

This came out in 93.

You sure you didn't go alone?

No, I took my wife to say Bo Show.

Oh, took your wife?

Yeah, this was the one where I was thinking about proposing to her after this.

Oh, after this one?

Yeah, because is it sad or happy?

Oh,

it's sad and happy all at once.

And is happy?

I guess it's not like.

Yeah, oh, the end is, yeah, it's a triumph.

It's not like fucking old yellow and shit.

What was it called?

Oh, it's three dogs.

Homeward bound.

Homeward bound, yeah.

Yeah, it's three dogs, no cats.

Oh, wait, no, it looks like there is a cat.

A little sight.

No, it's not.

Sally Field does a smart mouth Himalayan cat.

Okay.

You never saw it, Kiel?

I did see it.

I saw it.

you know at some point i didn't know i didn't know they made a homeward bound too lost in san francisco yeah oh boy.

You don't want to get lost in San Francisco.

You don't know what's going to go on.

You don't have to say anymore.

There's no follow-up.

Everybody knows.

Sure, there is.

You get in trouble for that, right?

Who would get in trouble for that?

You said nothing.

All right, tell him, Steve, Dave.
