#446: The TESD Father’s Day Blowout

Betty Vetter was like, Hey, I heard you're into this, and you know, so am I.

Jay Sarge, the great Jay Sarge, the clutch Jay Sarge.

Yeah.

It says, um, it's worse than painkillers, right, Brian?

Well,

it's definitely cheaper.

Tell him Steve Dave.

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell him Steve Dave by remote satellite Walt by the love satellite we have BQ.

Hey, hey, hey guys.

It's good to hear you Q.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you.

I got to be honest with you.

I think next week I'm going to just have to come down and do the show in a mask.

I miss you.

I just, I'm bummed.

Like, like,

week after week, year after year, tell him Steve Dave is like a highlight of my week.

And, like, now, the last couple of weeks, I've been like,

fuck, man.

Like,

I'm not with him.

I'm the odd man out.

So, I think I'm going to have to just try and come down.

Yeah, I do that show with E-Rock in the city, and I have to say, I don't miss the commute.

Like, doing it over the internet as opposed to like an hour and a half each way

on the train,

that I like, but this, yeah, it's just

a different kind of energy.

Well, because the podcast is almost secondary to hanging out with my friends.

So it's like, you know what I mean?

So that's what I'm missing.

So I don't know.

I'm just,

I gotta, I think I'm gonna have to get down there, especially if you guys continue to do it out of your house.

Yeah.

You know?

Yeah, you don't have Giddam sliming all over you, you know?

Yeah, I mean, I miss Giddem too, but he makes me nervous.

Yeah, yeah.

How are you guys doing?

I'm doing all right.

Aside from it's, it's starting to be too grounds hoggy day, even for me.

Yeah.

Even for me, I can't take the day after day after day of like, here's the paint by the numbers that's laid out for you.

And even now, it's like, what am I going to do?

I'm going to go to a store?

Yeah, I was going to say, well, things have now opened up a bit way more than they were previously.

Yeah, but I mean, what am I going to like?

Mary Beth was like, ooh, I got to go to Hobby Lobby and get some shit because she and Sage are making slime.

And I'm like, well, I don't want to do that.

I don't want to go push.

Like, I'm still kind of like UQ a little bit where, like, I regard people with suspicion.

Yeah, maybe they have it.

I don't like, oh, so on the 15th they said we can go out.

Well, I guess it's all gone.

Right.

Yeah, it doesn't think so.

I'm actually getting tested on Monday, so we'll see how my results come in because my parents are back for the antibodies.

Antibodies.

Yeah, or, well, to see if I have it or the antibodies, although I don't see how I can have it at this point.

But yeah, so

I'll know next week whether I had it or not.

Because my parents are back in town and I really want to see them.

I haven't seen them in like six months.

So I just want to make sure I'm safe to go see them.

Yeah, I was thinking of going and visiting Pam and Edgar, but this excuse is just too good.

Don't want to get you sick.

Are they still in Highlands?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, okay, because it's like, it's not as if it's like two seconds away.

No, it's 15 minutes, but you know, I could drive down there.

Well, why don't you just do this with them, like do the little video chats?

I guess, yeah, I guess I could do that.

Sage does it.

I put Sage on with her.

Yeah.

What am I going to say?

Thanks for everything.

Yeah, they're the hobby lobby of humans to me.

I just don't care.

Oh.

What about you, Walt?

You must be overly excited.

Yeah, yeah.

It's been it was we opened up on Monday.

It's been a full work week.

Haven't seen any.

People, customers?

No, no, we saw plenty of customers.

It was all right.

It was decent.

A little bit softer than I would think than usual, but not that much.

And we haven't seen any so far, you know, knock on wood.

Nothing bad has happened yet.

Everybody's coming with a mask.

You know, I hear, I see a lot of things on the internet of people having to deal with customers who won't wear a mask when they come into their place of business, but it hasn't been like that for us.

Everybody's worn a mask, and we have a mask.

If somebody doesn't have a mask, we can give them if you know if they don't.

That's got to be a rare bird, the person who shows up and they don't have a mask, right?

Well, I mean,

I went into 7-Eleven earlier today.

I saw a dude walking around there with no mask on, even though it says you got to wear a mask to come in.

But, you know, the guys at 7-Eleven aren't willing to make a...

What was the reason?

I have no idea.

I have no idea, but they weren't like kicking him out.

They let him go about his business.

Same thing happened.

I brought Sage to the eye doctor the other day.

She had some kind of red eye thing, like a little sty or whatever.

So I go in there, and there's a woman at the front desk.

And when I come in, I notice that there's a guy trying on glasses, mask down to his chin.

You know, I kind of understand it.

You got to just try it on glasses.

Another guy sitting at a where you try the glasses on, like you're sitting down and they measure them, but he's not getting glasses.

His wife is over there trying them.

He has a mask totally off.

Kid has a mask totally off.

And so I go up to the counter and the lady's like, hey, I need to take your temperature.

You know, I said, why?

And she's like, well,

like, I'm the asshole.

You know, well, because of the COVID.

And I said, oh, I just didn't think protocol mattered here because I see two different people with their masks down.

You know, I just didn't think it mattered.

And she's like, okay.

And she doesn't take my temperature.

I guess that answers why those guys at 7-Eleven weren't going to badger that guy.

Because who wants to be...

You're not a cop?

Like, what the fuck?

Like,

it sounds horrible to confront strangers.

Yeah, I was given a rule, some rules that we had to follow.

And one of the rules was like, if somebody came in that was too close to somebody else, I would have to get in between them and tell them they were too close.

And I'm like, No, I'm not doing that.

I am not doing that.

I am not going to sit there and have a tape measure out and be like, hey, you're too close to this guy while they're looking at the pops or something.

It's just like, I can't be that level of.

It's not your, again, Q's right.

It's not your responsibility.

Everyone knows the social distancing thing.

It's not like you're going to get fucking sued or something.

If somebody gets COVID, they're going to be like, I know I got it from looking at those pops next to that fucking virulent motherfucker.

It's just not going to go that way.

So, if somebody, so a guy with no mask comes into your place, I assume you're not going to spearhead the initiative to address it.

Well, I mean, I would have no problem be like, oh, hey, man, I'm sorry, but you got to wear a mask.

If you don't have one, I got one behind here.

But it hasn't happened yet.

Good for you.

Why don't you put on two fucking masks?

This is America.

I'm a fucking patriot, bitch.

Now I'm going to go buy me some Captain America.

Oh, hey, Mike, get him.

I'm going to lunch.

As soon as I hear that tone, I'm like, I'm out of here.

I'll let you guys handle this.

As soon as someone labels themselves a people.

On the way out the door, you inform them that Captain America is now written by a black man, and you just run.

He's like,

his head explodes.

What about you, Keith?

I see you on there looking very

classy, like a Bruce Wayne type on

your dinner party show.

Nice robe.

Oh, that's, Yeah, well, that's an old robe.

Yeah,

well, that was actually my neighbor's basement, Mrs.

Calabash's basement.

But

my thing is,

I am 100%.

I know we're going to gloss over that.

Miss Calabash ain't alive no more.

Who's Miss Calabash?

Well, she's, I guess I just found out you guys don't watch my new show, Dinner Party, on True TV, 10 o'clock and Thursdays.

My neighbor next door cooks my dinner every week.

This is Calabash.

Yeah, so I surprised the guys by shooting from our house this week.

Huh.

Yeah.

Nice.

Look at him.

I don't understand what's the strange pause about.

That's not an experience I think anyone is willing to offer me in my neighborhood.

Yeah, and then you got to

lug all that gear over there.

That I did that.

I did it for the joke that one day, but I know in the winter, like, she's a loner.

She's elderly.

Her husband died years ago.

So I go over there and like in the winter, I'll shovel for her and stuff like that.

I sure hope I don't have COVID.

You're old.

Yeah.

So,

yeah, so she's so when I was talking about dinner party, she was like, oh, I'll make the food for you.

So she has been.

Nice.

To pay back for all the, you know, the shoveling and whatnot.

You got off light this fucking past winter.

There was no snow.

Hey, man, I'm not saying that that's the only thing I do.

I'm just saying that, like,

like when it was hard to get two years that needs a shoveling.

Like, when it was hard to get groceries a couple of months back,

I would get some for her and take her to her and stuff like that.

Take her off the top for yourself.

I got to wet my beak.

I can't get

it.

This is a fucking capitalist society, man.

I want my part.

Yeah, so what the fuck?

Oh, so what the fuck, how do we get into that, though?

We are robe.

Robe.

Oh, that was it.

That was the thought.

I'm, I'm,

I, look, I say this, and I mean this.

I, I miss my crew.

I can't wait to go back to work on a practical joker's.

Like, I do miss it.

Um, and I want to go back, and I'm eager to go back.

But that being said,

um, I'm also

fully prepared to never work again in my life.

Like, I'm ready for retirement.

I'm good to go.

Really?

Yeah.

Should I wait for him?

Is he.

Oh, you're not.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know if he could hear me.

I never want to hear a complaint about the temperature of the stash

ever again because it's like fucking 90 degrees in his house.

It's an oven, yeah.

Why?

Well, because the house doesn't have central air.

So

central air is a good thing.

Oh, you can't.

If I crank an air conditioner, we're not going to be able to hear shit, you know?

Yeah.

But he's right.

So what I was saying.

I mean, I never want to hear like, oh, I can't believe it is in here.

What's the matter with you people?

Are you growing peaches here?

Peaches.

Well,

what I was saying, Briar, was

it's like, I am looking forward to practical jokers coming back and whatnot, but I'm also ready.

I'm fine with retiring.

Like, I'm, I'm, I could do this for the rest of my life, what I'm doing right now.

I mean, you

sprinkle in

or just in general, what you've been doing recently, just life, my new life, being home.

Uh, I could, I'd like to sprinkle in a little culture and a little movies and shit like that.

Like, uh, but aside from that, like, I really think I can do nothing for the rest of my life and be okay.

I'd still feel accomplished at the end.

I don't feel accomplished with my accomplishments.

So who the fuck am I fooling myself that I'm ever going to magically feel accomplished one day?

But I'll tell you, I know what do you have to do?

What are you doing?

I feel the same way.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't have the answers.

But I do tell you this, sitting there and playing Fallout 76 for four hours the other day, that was fucking awesome.

And I could do that every day.

Oh, my God.

I've been watching movies.

I've been watching documentaries.

Like, I'm building the Lego shit.

I'm good.

Like, I'm ready for retirement.

I'm ready to go.

I'm surprised you would admit to that Lego stuff in front of Walt.

He was very anti-Lego for a time.

That was the old Walt.

That was an ill-informed brute.

Yeah.

Hardly a man.

Yeah,

that was the POS Walt of yesteryear.

So you Walt is a little bit more.

It's like, oh, it's awesome.

Go for it.

K-Sera.

Syrah.

Yeah, yeah.

Look at this thing.

Walt, you'll fucking like this.

Look at it, man.

Oh, my God.

A Batmobile, 89 Batmobile?

Look at the size of this fucking thing.

I made this out of Lego.

3,000 pieces.

Whoa.

How long did that take you to build?

It took me like maybe two weeks of doing it on and off.

How long can you do it before you're just like

why am I doing Lego?

I didn't say it.

You could I could do it generally like

maybe a good hour, hour and a half out of it before you're like, all right, my neck hurts and whatnot.

There's something to it.

I heard there was a show devoted to Lego on Fox.

Yeah, Lego Masters, but Will O'Net.

It's a

Lego competition.

Was it a success?

Did it do well?

I mean, I can't imagine that they wouldn't eventually get all these celebrities that are into Lego and do a celebrity version of it.

I mean, I guess they should do that.

And I mean, man, you saw my Batmobile, so I'm fucking ready to go.

I know.

Bri, I'm telling you, I was talking to Adam Green about this last night where he said, I've tried Legos.

He goes, I tried therapy for years.

He goes, but he goes, it doesn't compare to the day somebody gave me a Lego kit and said,

trust me, try this.

It'll help.

And there's something to sitting there and following the directions, and your mind turns off completely.

It's like building a model plane.

It's just like click, click, click.

Oh, you need the directions to put that together?

Dude, the directions book is like this fucking thick.

It's crazy.

Oh, you just can't look at a fucking Lego block and be like, and just see it like Tetris in your head?

Not only do I think that

I'm completely incapable of that.

You can do that, though, Q.

Oh, I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Those are the guys that aren't going to make the fucking grade to get on Lego Masters.

While you're calling it Legos, and you're going to get fucking blackballed for calling it Legos.

There's no S at the end of Lego.

I'm from Staten Island.

We add S's and

you're not going to be a little bit more.

Yeah, it's a local dialect.

Don't shave my ass for that.

What the fuck, bro?

So you suggest Legos then to calm the savage beast inside.

Lego, not Legos.

Lego, okay, Lego.

Actually, you're supposed to call them Lego bricks if you want to get really technical.

But yeah.

I know, but I don't.

Whoa.

Giddam's into it, too.

Guinem is?

Yeah?

He buys all the, he buys all the, not all the sets.

He buys certain sets, but he never puts them together, though.

Waste of time.

Well, I guess it's the equivalent of like, you know, buying a DVD and never watching it or getting a book and never opening it.

So I understand that, but it is, for him, it's a total waste of time.

Are you going to keep buying a book?

Like, if you don't read the first one, you're still buying five more?

Well, the plan is always like, I'm going to read it one day when I retire, like, cue.

I'm going to, I'm going to,

I'm going to, like, sit down and read all the stuff that I never got around to reading, watch all the DVDs I never got to watch.

But I know for a fact there's no way he's putting that shit together.

He'll never put it together.

Mostly because he'll be dead at 45.

Yeah, I.

So Adam Green said that about the mind stuff, and Justin Royland, who's a buddy of yours too, BJ,

he told me about it three years ago, and I didn't listen then.

And then the day came.

I tried it.

I think I may give it a shot then.

I know somebody

respect.

I'm telling you, I think you're going to come back after giving it a shot and being like, wow,

I see what you mean.

It's a real Zen thing.

It's crazy.

I'm going to bet it doesn't do a thing.

You think he doesn't do anything for me?

I don't think he'll do anything for you.

I just can't see it being soothing to you.

It feels like

you're too smart.

Sorry, Q.

No, sorry.

I just see the pointlessness of it for him.

He sees the pointlessness in everything.

I cannot see him seeing it

putting a Batmobile together.

I'm too nihilistic for Lego.

This is the thing, though.

This is how the Lego gets you.

You're not thinking at all.

You're not thinking whether it's worthy or not.

You're not thinking whether you're stupid or not for doing it.

You're not thinking of anything besides, you're not thinking of what Walt's going to say.

Like, you're just

following directions and watching something.

And the magic of something like the Batmobile or the Ghostbusters Firehouse, which I'm doing now, is watching something that you recognize take shape is pretty fucking crazy.

It's really impressive.

Now, you say that there's nobody nobody that can put it together without the help of the manual.

I'm telling you that if you take the Batmobile, break it into all its 3,000 bricks and put them in a pile,

I would say that no one can do that.

There's no Savants.

So Lego Savants out there?

I would say it's impossible.

I would say it's impossible.

I would say there's a person that if you gave the book,

could read the could read it once.

Maybe there's somebody with a mind out there that works it, but there's no way to know what tiny piece goes with what tiny piece and where and how.

And the bricks are all black.

So is there

a number on the brick or something?

No, what you do is you, when you open the box, there are like 21 bags, individual bags, and with a small amount of the structure you're building in it.

So like you would build the bag, you would build a fin of it and then click it on to the main piece, and then you open another bag.

So each bag is a part of the car that you, like the cockpit cover is its own bag.

So it's really broken up for you, and you just follow the directions bag by bag.

Okay.

And eventually you start to put the bags together to piece.

You build the bag as you go.

When you're done with the bag, you put it on.

Do you think it was ever

something that the guys who created this ever foresaw that it would be so therapeutic for

people?

Maybe that's not what their goal, but I don't think you could be in the Lego world and not know it at some point.

But I mean, but I'll say, do you ever, I wonder if those guys who created ever were like that this will be something that will be so soothing and

helpful to so many, like a lot of people as a way to relax and

zone out.

I don't know.

I bet you they did because I bet you when they were doing it and they started making fun shit just to see what they could do with it, I bet you were like, oh man, this is fun and cool.

And you don't have to be high to enjoy it, right?

No, I'm not high.

I'm just curious.

No, are you a purist?

Like, you won't do Lego knockoffs, right?

Like, well, yeah, I probably would.

Like, Play Mobile, I would do that.

Hmm.

Yeah.

It's not about the Lego, man.

No.

It's about the inner state of mind, inner stillness that Lego brings.

The Zen.

The Zen.

For all this sequestering and quarantining, Q seems to be doing all right.

Like, he seems to be in a good place right now.

This was not the case, like, say, a month ago.

You seem

much better.

Yeah, I've just come to grips with

the fact that I'm...

Look, I don't want people being sick and dying of COVID, but other than that, and I guess the massive civil unrest,

like,

this is good for me.

Like, I'm okay for this is good for me.

And I'm not spending any fucking money, so I don't even have to make much money to

sustain this.

I'm really working on a whole lifestyle change going on in my head.

I like it.

Yeah.

But at the same time, I can't wait to get back to doing Jokers.

So, you know, who knows?

Yeah, I saw you rescheduled all your dates, huh?

All your tour dates for next year?

Yeah,

we had to reschedule them.

You know, obviously, I guess we don't want to be responsible for people gathering en masse.

Yeah, but by next year, it'll be safe, so let's just let people know: hey, those tour dates are coming back.

No, were these tour dates are already sold out, so it doesn't matter if you pimp them.

Some of them were sold.

Well, we

people were screaming at us, I heard.

I didn't see it myself, but they were like, if you know the show is going to be canceled, could you just fucking cancel it instead of holding on to our money?

And you guys are greedy, let go of our money.

And I'm just like, none of this has anything to do with me whatsoever.

I'm like, I don't have your money, but you know, I'm not saying that.

Is that Ticketmaster?

I would guess whatever they do.

do.

Yeah, I couldn't do it.

You should have teamed up with Pearl Jam to fucking go after Ticketmaster.

Yeah.

I guess Pearl Jam is trying to save your heart.

We need you for

you and Eddie Vetter could have fucking taken that fucking evil corporation down.

I'm still in for it if Eddie's listening.

It'd be so weird, like, if Eddie Vetter was like, hey, I heard you're into this, and you know, so am I.

Then I got to follow through.

Yeah, they did that.

I will say this.

We abolish as many fees as we can.

Ticketmaster, I believe, offers artists optional fees, you know what I mean, type stuff.

And we've always been like, no, no, no, no.

We don't want, like, that's not how we roll, bro.

It's crazy with Ticketmaster how you set a price and then it's like another 30%

more.

It's fees and all this other bullshit.

That's why we don't have Ticketmaster money, you know?

Because we're not willing to fleece people?

Yeah.

Oh, you know what?

I realize I'm talking about one of my business partners.

And when I say fleece people, I mean provide people with entertainment and access to artists that they love at home.

Man.

I'm not that wrong.

He just took you off speed dial, man.

He was going to write a song about you.

Cut your hair, hippie.

He's like, it was going to be Jeremy Part 2, but

it was going to be about Q.

Brian Q's calling.

Secret Master today.

If you had a friend who

had an Instagram post, right,

that was

misspelled,

would you tell them or would you just let it ride?

How egregious.

It's for shared universe.

And it says...

They spelled shared wrong?

No, they did.

Yeah, it's C-H-E-R-E-D.

No, shared universe now reopen.

Which I can only read in my Ming voice.

I think since the English is so broken.

I don't see that being as incorrect, though.

Did you write the copy?

Shared universe now reopened.

It's talking about the studio.

No, it would be now reopened, or it should, I mean, I think it's a little smoother to be like, has reopened.

Right.

But technically, is it wrong?

Yes, technically, it is wrong.

No, it's not.

Is it now reopened?

It definitely is.

It should be now reopened.

Shared universe now open.

Shared universe.

That would be good.

What?

That's what I'm saying, right?

No, now reopen.

Yeah, it's the reopen part that's the problem.

I mean, they could put personality into it, like shared universe open to all once again, or something comic booky, you know what I mean?

Anything they decided against that, though.

Hey, man, I'll tell you what, though,

Instagram is the one that you could go back in and edit, so it would behoove him if you sent him a correction and he did it.

You know what, though?

It also could be autocorrect.

I can't tell you how many times I'll tweet something and it's all fucked up because I didn't look at it before I hit the button and it was corrected, or my eyesight is so bad.

You know, it's actually not even the only thing that needs correcting on this.

A shared shared universe is reopened.

So that's

what we're looking at.

And then they have what you need to know.

Pretty much the same thing you need to know everywhere.

Masks, six feet social distance, disinfecting protocol.

Hand sanitizer.

They definitely, I mean, I swear I'm not saying this as a joke, but they definitely like colons because they use them all over the place.

I don't even know how to properly use it at all.

I've never used one because I don't know how to use it.

Hand sanitizer will be available to everyone and will be required for use for everyone entering the studio.

I swear I thought English was Ming's first language.

I really did.

Poor bastard.

I liked his post anyway, because I'm a shared universe guy.

Yeah, me too.

I think I'm pretty sure I haven't even been on Instagram.

It's amazing how little outside contact is mattering to me.

But there you go.

Well, as soon as you open up the news, as soon as you go to the news, you're like, oh, fucking man.

Like,

nothing's better.

Nothing's different.

People are still getting punched.

Steve people are still getting shot.

You know, all this shit.

It's like, why?

Why?

Why would I want to look at this?

That's interesting because

when I looked at the news, it seems like all the coverage of the protests have turned positive.

And like, there's no more looting and stuff like that.

No?

Well, no, you can only loot for so long.

But now it's like, and I don't, I have a real hard time understanding this particular interaction between a white person who has an interaction with a black person, and that black, he's like, hey, and that black person then proceeds to beat the living shit out of them.

And

it seems to be like, if you get called a name, you can now beat the shit out of someone, which on a personal level, I'm totally okay with.

But you have to decide the words that you can't say, I think.

Well,

I think we decided on that word.

That word's okay.

We don't even need a vote for that one.

But if there's yeah, we all know.

Like,

I'm like, that psychopath is still fucking being like, oh, yeah.

I don't know.

I don't fucking know.

The size of this dude, the size of this guy who beat this

other, this little white guy from NASA,

it's hysterical.

It's like, why would you say that at all?

Let alone

that big.

You could take race right out of it.

I'm happy when an asshole gets his ass beat.

I think that's phenomenal.

Like,

so, yeah, I don't know.

Can you imagine being the type of person that's like the guy that called them that?

Like,

what outcome do you think is going to happen?

Like, what are you trying to bring into the world?

Usually it's old women who look drunk or like sunbaked or both, like a combination of both.

They just look totally out of it, and then they get the like they then get the shit slapped out of them.

But yeah, every once in a while, you'll see a guy that it's like, What are you thinking?

Like, why

what's matter?

Yeah, what are you trying to prove?

Dude, go have a drink somewhere or fucking smoke some weed, calm down, Legos,

yeah, man.

Get that dude a fucking Lego Batman mobile.

That'll change his attitude.

Here's what this guy should be listening to.

He needs to do a little bit of Lego action, slip on some Miundis, and just fucking chill out.

All right.

We're back to it.

We're back to it.

You know?

He's still got to pay bills.

All this other stuff aside.

And there's some good news from Miundis.

They have a Miundis Gives Initiative.

like many, many corporations.

They are giving up some of their Myundi's cash.

They continue to take action, which means they're like,

We're not just doing this in reaction, we're continuing our action by making $50,000 donations to both the It Gets Better project and Black Lives Matter with Myundi's Gives.

Simply by shopping Miundis, you can help support these causes.

Okay,

now it's time for the anecdotes.

So, which ones do I have on right now?

Hmm.

I have on the drafts.

Did you get some drafts, Q?

Well, I mean, the latest update was

they gave me a box who was in the wrong size, right?

Or something like that?

Yeah, Helen should have your right underpants size.

He's got underpants.

I agree.

This guy.

I mean, look, Helen ain't got a lot of work to do for me these days.

So she could.

Yeah, text her.

Get her on that, man.

Because I'm sitting here.

The only thing that should be important to the both both of us right now is Q's underwear.

Let's get this shit straightened out.

I mean,

to be a proper spokesperson, like, let's fucking do it.

But,

yeah, so I don't know.

There is a question here, which it would be hard to remember because we've been in the Miundis game for some time.

What was your reaction when you came across your first pair of Miundis?

Oh, I'm not.

That's like the very first time I saw a fucking bear tit.

It's that fucking pivotal to me.

The first time I saw Miundis.

First time you met your fucking brain.

First time you met your wife.

Is that real?

What?

Is that real?

They really want you to fucking put that kind of importance on the first time you saw a pair of meundis?

It would appear so.

Come on, really?

Especially when you felt their super softness.

Let me whittle it down.

Yeah, I think that's asking a little much.

It's like, we've been wearing Myundis for years.

Now, if somebody gave me a pair of Miundis, it's the kind of thing where I'd be like, holy shit, these things are soft.

Like, these are the ones I want to wear from now on.

I get t-shirts from

a company that I'm like, these are the only t-shirts I want to wear now because they're not that expensive, but they're super soft.

Not this one I'm wearing right now.

So I get it, you know?

Yeah, but I mean, like, come on.

To reminisce.

Yeah, I mean, it's like, you know, it's like the first time I saw, you know,

my first snowfall, the first time I saw, you know, my child, the first time I saw my yundies out of the package.

You You know, come on, it's not the same.

If it's like the first time you saw someone else in Miundis, and you were like, woo!

That I get.

Even that, though, at that point, I mean.

Yeah, we're 50-year-old men.

What do you expect from us, Myundis?

They have a Myundis

membership where every month the softest undies appear at your door.

The convenience factor is clutch.

Now, do you still use the word clutch?

I wasn't aware clutch.

Let's bring it back.

No, I still use use clutch.

Do you?

Yeah,

not like an exclamation, like clutch with clutch.

No, no, not like, you know, like, like instead of going like, yeah, you go clutch, like back in the day.

No, but I'll be like, I'll be like, oh, you know, he came through in a clutch.

I'll still say that.

Okay.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, when you let, who was that person that you said, oh, my God, that dude is clutch?

I actually don't, it was last year I said it to Sal on the set of Impractical Jokers, and he said, did you just say clutch?

So I was like, So, yeah, so I guess it's not in common usage.

That would be, I would love for someone to like use that word to like

with me.

So, like, yeah, that would be, so that's a big, that's a big praise.

The word clutch,

that's like saying, like, you're like,

you're on next level, and that's what Miyundi's is, next level underwear.

Is wolf, it really is.

I mean,

that was clutch right there.

That was funny.

That was clutch.

That was fucking smooth.

I didn't see that coming.

I got to be honest.

Got to make up for them for bashing them about that ridiculous.

Hey, yeah.

I mean, it is.

Look, sometimes the truth is hard.

This is called tough love, me on these.

Q, you'll like this.

You never have to leave the house for them.

Walt, you'll like this.

You get site-wide savings.

Early access and free shipping.

Millennials love free shipping.

I love early access.

No, that's not fair.

That is not fair to say millennials.

Everybody loves free shipping.

I told you, it's the Spanish fly of fucking business.

I know that millennials will order a little bit more just to get the free shipping, right?

I mean, it's like

you can get anything

if you offer free shipping, I believe.

I believe you could sell almost anything to people if you just put that little bit of

free shipping in their drink.

Yeah, like an eBay.

Yeah.

Yeah, all right.

I got you.

I should equate that to.

Yeah, if you just slip a Mickey in the form of free shipping.

That was

a bad analogy right there.

Myundi's is like, guys,

guys.

They're soft.

They're magically made from trees, extra small to 4XL.

Okay, here's the offer.

You want to know the offer.

First-time purchasers.

You're going to get 15% off on free shipping.

You got to give this super softness a try, especially since they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

So to get 15% off your first order, free shipping at a 100% satisfaction guarantee, go to meundis.com/slash T-E-S-D.

That's meundis.com slash T-E-S-D.

One last thing about Miundis, though, like we go on a high note.

Once you wear a pair of Miundis, all the old underwear that you had or you ever wore will feel like canvas underwear.

He's right about that for sure.

Yeah, it'll literally feel like a scratchy old potato sack that you put two holes, three holes in.

It's like the underpants Holocaust survivors would wear.

Like they were.

Well, not survivors.

This isn't part of the official commercial.

If you look,

everybody wants to knock down statues, right?

And I don't necessarily disagree with some of them.

I don't know why you erect statues to people who lost shit.

Yeah, that's the craziest shit, though.

It's like, why are there so many fucking statues of all these losers?

Yeah, because

I guess in the South they're like, hey, they showed up to the game, right?

And that's what matters.

Nobody fucking is putting statues up of the Buffalo Bills for losing fucking four Super Bowls in a row.

Right.

I mean, they're fucking the laughing stock of sports.

Right.

And as should the

Confederate.

Germany doesn't have Adolf Hitler statues around Germany.

The Confederates are the laughing stock of civil wars.

They're the Buffalo Bills.

Well, I shouldn't say that.

I know we got listeners in Buffalo.

Oh, yeah, and they would be offended by that dumb shit.

But so if somebody knocks down a statue,

you can put up a statue somewhere else.

And

they're talking about in Richmond, Virginia, Robert E.

Lee, they want to replace it with the heavy metal front man of Guar.

Odorus Jungus.

The guy that you had a back and forth with?

Had a minor tiff with him on Twitter years ago before he died.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Adam Green really loved him.

He said he's a great guy.

He said maybe you misread that situation.

No, I mean, he was calling Kev an asshole.

It was hard to misread it.

Oh, really?

I didn't know that.

Yeah, it was some anti-Kev thing.

I see.

But I guess the change.org petition has over 50,000 signatures.

They refer to themselves as the scumdogs of the universe, and they call on the great city of Richmond to erect a statue of a great local leader, Odorus Urungus, in its place.

Now, even though we had our differences, he and I, I still would rather see that than a Robert E.

Lee statue.

Why not?

Jay Sarge, the great Jay Sarge, the clutch Jay Sarge,

he sent me an article that there's a town or a movement in a town to replace their Confederate statues with cryptozoic statues all throughout this town.

What a fucking tourist destination that would be, right?

Amazing.

Yeah.

If you had Bigfoot on fucking Main Street, and then on another street you had the Jersey Devil, and then you had Mothman on another street.

That would become like the destination for people who are into cryptozoic things.

West Virginia are campaigning.

They want Mothman.

I mean, I guess we're too far north to knock down any statue.

When's the last time you saw a statue?

Oh, what are you talking about, brother?

Christopher Columbus, you think that fucking statue is standing in New York City for much longer?

That's fucking coming down, son.

Before fucking five years are done, you're not going to see that statue standing there.

You put a fucking Jersey Devil statue up there?

I'm all right with him.

Well,

that would be wrong to put it in fucking Staten Island.

I mean, Jersey needs to.

Oh, well, I'm assuming you guys have a Christopher Columbus statue somewhere.

Oh, no.

No, we don't.

We're woke, man.

I'm sorry.

I don't want that fucking slave trade and torture statue.

So what you're saying is you think the state of New Jersey doesn't have a fucking Christopher Columbus statue anywhere.

Not that I know of.

I better not find out about it either.

Yeah, we'll go knock it over.

All right, well, good.

In the interest of any Vetta hearing this, let me look it up for you.

You're going to check it out?

Is there,

I guess that's the fucking move.

I mean, if it's like in Middletown, they're like, look, we got one

guy who is in the South.

People will fucking knock the statue down.

We need to put up a new statue.

I'm going to throw it out there.

It's either got to be Kevin or Bon Jovi or Bruce.

Oh, so it's going to be of a person, not like the evil clown from Food Town, maybe?

Well, I think more people could get behind

a real person that came out of Jersey and Miss Brown.

I think it would be Bruce.

You think it'd be Bruce?

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, I think people like Kev

and people like Bon Jovi, but when you think Jersey, you're going to think Bruce Springsteen.

And I agree, it's unfortunate.

It's only because I don't like the music.

I mean, I don't know.

I don't know anything about the dude.

I'm sure he's a good dude and everything, but I'm just like, ugh.

There are many, by the way, statues of Christopher Columbus of Jersey.

We got a busy head ahead of us.

You know, it's going to be interesting when

they start going after the Thomas Jeffersons

when it gets to Washington and Washington, D.C.

That's when you're going to see fucking sparks fly.

Well, will they take down Lincoln?

Because he was kind of the man, right?

I don't know.

You don't know, right?

It's hard to tell.

I'm re-evaluating everything through new eyes.

So I haven't yet gotten to my examination of Abraham Lincoln yet.

You want to play it close to the best until you see what everyone else thinks.

Just checking to see which way the winds are blowing before I comment on that Abraham Lincoln issue.

I'm down with it all.

Remember they had that RoboCop statue years ago?

Did that ever get made?

What?

I didn't know.

You didn't hear about this?

No.

Like, in Detroit, they raised all this money to make a RoboCop statue.

But, like, a real deal.

Like, it looked amazing.

Cop, hold on.

On January 14th, 2020, it says that after nine years, it's almost done.

Wow, it takes nine years to get a statue made.

The casting is completely done.

All that's left is applying the patina and welding the large sections together.

Dude, you gotta show the picture's amazing of it.

Let me see why there's nothing coming up.

Hold on.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

That looks really cool.

Has RoboCop kind of like faded from pop culture landscape, though?

He's not as revellant.

Revelant.

What's the word?

Relevant.

Relevant as he used to be, right?

I don't know.

They remade it a few years ago, and they just released him in Mortal Kombat, the game.

He's one of the fighters in that.

So I don't know if it's still RoboCop fever going on, but I think people

had RoboCop fever.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah?

Yeah, I was really into RoboCop.

I remember he.

We gave it to each other.

We weren't wearing masks back then.

But I remember I had a gigantic slice in my thumb because I was trying to build a vinyl horizon RoboCop model, and that put an end to my modeling career when I put an X-Acto knife through my thumb.

That's how into RoboCop I was.

You know, it has no need for X-Acto knives, dangerous blades?

Lego.

Lego.

That's correct.

Yeah, I was into it too.

I had a giant,

I went to the local movie theater when RoboCop 2 was coming out, and there was this giant vinyl poster of him looking over a wall and said, RoboCop 2.

And I said,

when you're done with it, can I have it?

And they gave it to me.

So for years, I had a, I mean, it had to be seven feet by five feet.

It was like a giant flag of RoboCop in my bedroom for like three years,

watching me sleep.

I think people, it's up to people to

like Walt.

Your daughter's probably never seen RoboCop.

If you want to keep the RoboCop,

if you want to keep him alive, you know, ironically, you know, you got to show your kids or like Mary Beth, like we watched RoboCop about a month ago.

Really?

What'd she think?

She liked it.

She liked it.

That first movie's like, it's pretty flawless.

It's everything after that, though, that kind of like.

Oh, it's bad.

I like two.

You guys didn't like two?

No, I didn't like two.

Is that the Frank Miller one, or is that three?

Yeah, it's Frank Miller.

That's three.

Two I think.

Three I saw once, and I remember being like, eh, man.

Well, of course, Verhoven wasn't involved in it, probably.

Yeah, I remember liking two, like the ED whatever.

Yeah, that little kid that cussed.

I don't recall.

Maybe it was like a real, cute little kid who was like the gang boss or something.

It was ridiculous.

I don't remember that.

All right, maybe I'm not remembering it correctly, though.

Kids and old ladies who curse are the most annoying characters in any given movie or TV show?

Like, is there anything less funny than an old woman cursing or giving the finger in a movie?

I think to the

common crowd, I think it can still

elicit, it can still elicit laughs.

We didn't expect her to do it.

That's what it's all predicated on.

It just goes to show that, like, older people, it's almost like they're treated like a different species.

Like, they weren't younger.

Like, probably, like, I mean, if you're talking about an 80-year-old woman, it was only 30 years ago that she would have been considered viable, giving the finger to people, whether she's driving down the street and shit.

Only 30 years.

Yeah, I guess only 30 years.

Wow.

Did you see the short film of RoboCop blowing off all those dicks?

I did see that.

That was pretty funny.

It's funny and so well done.

It looks looks like RoboCop blowing off dudes' dicks.

It's great.

Yeah, that was funny.

When you say blowing off, do you mean he's like it's a porn parody?

No, like gun.

It's violence.

He's shooting people in the dick.

Oh, yeah.

For what is like a short?

Yeah, it's unbelievable.

It's so well.

You would think it's a cutscene from the movie it's done so well.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

And then the other thing is Peter Weller, when he did, I mean, it's like last month they put him into Mortal Kombat.

Peter Weller voiced him again for it.

How cool is that?

That is cool.

I can see you guys aren't, you're not swept up in RoboCop fever as I am currently in the second.

You left it.

You got the virus and it went away.

All right.

Yeah, we had it in our early 20s, bro.

Yeah, you were fucking still in short pants at the time.

I remember us screaming at each other as driving down the street.

You know, we'll never fucking fall out of love with fucking RoboCop.

Yeah, we won't let anybody else forget about RoboCop.

Someday we'll have a statue of him.

These statues, do you think, like, okay, so a statue of Robert E.

Lee, well, it shouldn't be, um,

I agree.

It's just like, who needs it out in the town square?

But what about a museum?

Like, don't you think these things do have some kind of historical value?

Like, like, back in the Afghanistan,

who was in Afghanistan and Russian war, like, somebody came, like, they just, they destroy all these artifacts, you know,

all these old religious artifacts and, like, historical shit.

Yeah.

And it's like, I don't know, why don't you just take that and instead of spray painting it and smashing it and all that shit as symbolism, put it in because you want to still talk about slavery, right?

I mean, you can't just fucking forget about it.

So unless you have something relative to slavery, you can't just erase all that shit and still talk about slavery because it doesn't matter.

Well, maybe.

Well, I'm sure that's happening with some of them.

I mean, I know they're taking some down in the middle of the night, but I mean, maybe another way to look at it is it's more powerful in the museum with the dents and with the spray paint.

And,

you know, that could be too.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is how upset people are.

Yeah.

But they're chucking them in rivers and shit, too.

So you got to fish them out.

That's not bad either.

Then it's got some barnacles on it and shit.

There you go.

That could be good PR for you.

You go down south, you start like recovering old Confederate statues out of the lakes and ponds and shit.

Oh, Eddie Venn is my phone's going off.

Eddie Vett is on.

He's into it.

Actually, if I were to, are you a fan of Pearl Jam still?

I mean, Eddie Vetter aside.

I don't mind Eddie Vetter.

I don't keep up.

I'm not like current Pearl Jam.

I got no idea where they are in the world, but

I'll still slip in some Pearl Jam from time to time.

Do you use your Raycons when you're using them right now, yeah?

The Raycon earbuds.

It says if you were sent Raycon earbuds, your personal experience is required.

All right, here's my personal experience, Raycon.

They were so good that I used them all the time.

And then, like an asshole, I put them somewhere.

I have no idea where I put them.

Lost them.

Marybeth got me a new pair.

That's how much I like them.

These are like, I watch them more closely than I watch Sage.

I don't want to lose these fucking things.

These These are great earbuds, man.

I love them.

Yeah, these earbuds are definitely clutch.

Yes.

Perfect use of the word.

Wall.

Very nice.

I never used the wireless ones.

I always thought they looked stupid, and I don't see, I never thought they were comfortable until I got the Raycons, and now I use them all the time.

Yep.

Let's see.

I'll tell you a little bit about them because they're not hundreds of dollars.

They're actually relatively inexpensive compared to those stems and shit that we don't like.

You already know Raycon earbuds start about half the price of any other premium wireless earbud on the market, and they sound just as amazing as other top audio brands you know.

Their newest model, the Everyday E25, are their best ones yet with six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, and a more compact design that gives you a nice noise-isolating fit.

So they're not noise-canceling, but they are noise-isolating.

And like I sleep with earbuds in.

Because I have such horrible tinnitus, and those don't fall out of my ears.

They're the only ones ones that have stayed in my ears all night.

It's like this constant, persistent ringing in your ears.

Really?

Yeah, I've had it for like decades.

It's the worst.

It seems to be getting.

What causes it?

Different stuff.

It could be like listening to music that was too loud or like a sudden, like, just, if you were, like, at a,

like, one of those race car tracks exposed to the.

Were you somebody who listened to music at such high levels?

So, like, growing up that you...

I wasn't really.

Like, I remember when I moved to L.A., I went to a Racer X concert.

I would have been 19, and it was so loud that I went to the bathroom and put toilet paper in my ears.

This is at a time when I was.

I remember the story because that's what I was thinking about.

That I was like, you were kind of like,

you didn't care how much of a wuss you look like.

You would even put that toilet paper in your ear for that concert.

I came out of the bathroom looking.

This is in LA in 1988, 89.

All the chicks are glammed out, looking hot.

And I'm like, what's up, ladies?

I look like mumming shots and shit.

Oh, man, that must have been some crowd back in the 80s in L.A.

at that concert.

Dude,

it was something else.

I wasn't there for that long,

but the time I was there, like, walking up and down Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard, it was something else to see.

Like, I wish that

I was more of a photography guy and took pictures and shit like that.

But it was like glam bands, like, in limos hanging out and fucking girls screaming, and the rock clubs like were fucking hopping.

Yeah, it was a pretty decent time.

But now like if you go back,

you see the young guys that were like would have been my age around that time who didn't make it but still dress that way and still have hair but it starts halfway through their hairline.

You know, it's sad.

Yeah, you know, you know, I try and hit the whiskey at least once every time I'm in Los Angeles and those guys

they're just there.

That's where I go to see them.

I'm not surprised.

I'm like, hey guys.

When I went to LA we went to the whiskey.

It was so fun just to sit there and

just watch people.

Yeah, they're having a great time.

Like, there's no, nobody's self-conscious.

It really is.

Like, that crowd always knew how to party, and they still do.

Yeah, you can't judge them.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, where am I with these raycons?

Oh, they're so comfortable, perfect for conference calls or binging podcasts.

Like, tell them Steve Dave.

What makes them a game changer for you?

Well,

for me, it's just that they don't fall out.

That's what I love.

Other people say they're stylish and discreet, no dangly wires or stems to distract anyone during video calls.

I mean, how, look, I have ADD.

Even I'm not distracted by stems.

I'm like, whoa, what's that?

Well, I like that the ones we got are black.

I think the white ones look so dorky.

You know what I mean?

Like, it's just.

Well, the ones I got are blue.

You got black ones?

Yeah, I have black.

Or maybe the outer, maybe the outer case is blue.

Is the outer case that you charge it in blue?

I don't have the outer case here, but they're definitely black for me.

Yeah, you might be right.

You're right.

Raycon earbuds are both stylish and discreet.

Okay, we just talked about that.

And then the company was co-founded by Ray J.

We got to get into the goddamn, like, Ray J and what's the other guy?

Jay-Z with the beats shit.

Why do we not have our own

earbud or headphone company competing directly with Raycon.

Well,

probably a lot of reasons.

Like, we never tried.

That's one reason, I bet.

But is Ray J known for music, or is he just he just must be like a businessman entrepreneur type, right?

I know he's a rapper, but I've never heard of any Ray J rap.

Dude, I got no clue.

The only thing I know him from is from the Kim Kardashian stuff.

Yeah.

No, hey, Ray J must know what he's doing.

They're all up

celebrities.

I was happy for him then.

Yeah.

If you want to listen to Tell him Steve Dave and not get bugged by everybody, just pop those Raycons in, and now is the time to get them.

The latest and greatest from Raycon.

Get 15% off your order at buyraycon.com slash T-E-S-D.

That's buyraycon.com slash T-E-S-D for 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds.

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

And whoa.

What?

Oh, I thought you were going to say something.

I was going to say, it would be cool if we did develop our own earbuds.

You know, it would be a great thing.

I mean, mean, this would we would never

we would have to have somebody develop this kind of

technology?

Yeah, technology that

if you didn't listen to the episode on Raycons, it sounded shitty.

But if you used Raycons, it sounded crystal clear.

Oh, like if you don't listen to the episode, then your Raycons are compromised until you do listen to the episode.

Is that what you're saying?

No, no, no.

Like, no, like, let's say you try to listen to it

with your stems, and it just sounds scratchy, and maybe there's like hiccups, and it's like, you know, you drop a few seconds here and there.

So we purposely make it shitty if you don't listen to it on a ray card.

Yeah, and we let it be known that we're going to do that, though.

Right.

To sell more units.

You think that's going to go like the ants will be embrace this?

Well, wait, is this Raycon or is this our bro?

This is our own broken.

It's our own.

I don't know, just an idea.

Just, you know.

It's just spitballing.

Yeah, see what sticks.

But, Q, you did start a beer company.

I mean,

granted, you partnered up with a beer, like a

beer brewer.

But, like, I always wonder about these people.

Like, if we wanted to start an earbud company, it's like, I wouldn't know the first thing that we should do.

I wouldn't know the first person to call.

I wouldn't know the first thing to do.

I wouldn't know the first engineer designer to talk.

Well, are you passionate about it or no?

No.

Not at all.

I'll forget it by the end of the episode.

Well, then, in that case, what I would think you would do is find an already existing manufacturer of earbuds, have them change the exterior design somewhat,

tell them Steve Dave logo on it, and suddenly you're in the fucking earbud game.

I guess that's the way it goes, right?

It's kind of the same unit.

That's the fucking way everything goes, man.

That's the way everything goes.

Because I know when we were doing comic book, man, it was the first time that I learned that these Chinese companies will run off extra toys and just sell them themselves, I guess, to the knockoff toys and shit.

Just like the different packaging.

I had no idea that they would use the

molds for that.

Pretty good idea.

Want to be in business somehow, like manufacturing.

I don't think you do.

No, I don't think he does either.

Well, all the headaches that come with that.

You're like, what?

All the

crazy decisions that can make or break you that you have only a couple seconds to fucking.

What does Walt think?

I don't know.

you guys want to hit learn something

there's more to hit learn yeah let's do it there's actually two hit learns uh this one is god damn it okay here we go open up this link just when you think that you're safe uh a miss hitler contestant was among some neo-nazis jailed for belonging to a terroristic group.

Okay, so this was in the UK.

She joked about gassing synagogues and using a Jew's head as a soccer ball, and she got sentenced to prisoner for belonging to a terror group.

Hold on a second, Q, I'll show you her picture.

Her name is Alice Cutter.

It takes.

I can't really see her face.

Is she Asian?

No.

Well, I see his makeup.

She looks cute.

Is she cute?

There you go.

Oh, okay, I see her.

Wow, she doesn't look.

She was a finalist, but she has green eyes and brown hair.

So is that what Hitler's into?

I don't know anymore.

It's weird because you look at her and you're like, she doesn't look like a deranged sociopath.

But I guess that's the trick, right?

They don't look like that.

Yeah, she looks a little bit too sweet.

She got three years behind bars.

Who, in this day and age, is like, yes,

put up that Nazi flag.

I'm going to stand in front of it.

Pose it.

And do the ducks.

And then post it online.

That is when I hear things like that, that is the shit that fucking makes me feel naive about the world.

She was a waitress who entered a Nazi beauty pageant as Miss Buchenwald.

Jesus Christ.

She denied ever being an NA member, whatever that is,

despite attending the rallies where Banner stated Hitler was right.

Yeah, it really does take either a commitment or a complete lack of foresight to take a picture next to a Nazi flag or be into any of this shit.

Yeah,

I mean, they got it.

I don't understand.

I just don't understand anything.

Do you know how time-consuming it would be?

National Activities.

You know what I need?

I need a

Lego brick

instruction manual for life that just tells me to click this here and click that here and do this and do this.

And then at the end of it, you just got a nice happy little life.

Where is that book?

That book doesn't exist, though.

They do try to sell it to you.

That book has been written a thousand times, How to Be Happy.

Yeah.

You know?

Sadder than Miss Hitler being dethroned is an 84-year-old alligator rumored to have belonged to Hitler dies in Moscow.

Wow, that's a good run for an alligator.

What's Hitler doing with an alligator, though?

Like, where would he keep it?

I don't know, dude.

I will say this: if I was an insane dictator with complete power and control over an entire country, I might have a pet alligator.

Pet alligator, too.

I might do it, yeah.

I might let them figure out where it stays.

I don't give a shit.

I want my pet.

It says they typically only live until 50, but this guy's 84.

Jesus.

Huh.

Now, can you, Walt, can you hate on that alligator or is that alligator an innocent victim in all this?

Is that a Nazi alligator?

No, I don't even believe that's a true story because

that's seemingly impossible that an alligator would live 84 when I usually die by 50.

Think about how the percentage of

he lived more than he should have.

This could be a false flag story.

This is fake news.

Well,

yeah.

Yeah, that's like a human human living to like 120 or some shit like that, right?

It's happened.

This is just like, this is just like a just for like

for like Nazi scum to fucking have some news in the morning when they get up.

Propaganda.

They should have made it an albino alligator then.

That would have been better.

Well, it says that he was born in Mississippi in 1936.

His name is Saturn.

He was soon gifted to the Berlin Zoo.

He escaped when it was destroyed by bombing, and with only 100 of the zoos, 3,500 animals were understood to have survived.

Oh, that's not a Hitler's alligator, then.

He was missing three years until he was found by British soldiers in 1946, sparking the wildest theory in his bio.

Okay, so it's a theory that was never proven.

And Saturn should never be tarnished with the despicable crimes of one of history's most despicable dictators.

So, see, yeah, a lot of people would be like, oh, man, you got to hate on him, right?

Because he's Hitler's alligator.

And he's like, bro, I was born in Mississippi.

They kidnapped me.

They sent me to fucking Germany.

I didn't want anything.

I actually breaking, I heard they just burned down Gator World in Florida

in defiance of this Nazi alligator.

And now,

think about all that alligator lived through and saw in his life.

Yeah.

That's amazing.

And how he didn't process any of it.

I feel like that alligator now in my life.

Uh, one of the final things we have, and they haven't had this in a while, I don't even know if we can do it anymore.

It could be to these

times, a little fat news,

but I think it could help people.

Um, now is it positive news?

Not really.

All right, let's let's let's risk it.

I think it's prognosticating.

Um, Walt, NQ, if you guys were to say something is terrifying, right?

What would you point to?

For me, it would be like waking up and Sage isn't in the house and I can't find her anymore.

I just can't find her around the house.

I don't know where she is.

To me, that's terrifying.

Like waking up and there's four tarantulas crawling around in my sheets with me.

That's terrifying.

There you go.

Okay.

Terrifying models show what Netflix addicts may look like in 20 years.

Now, I am a streamer.

I watch Netflix.

I watch Amazon, Hulu, and all these different things.

They created 3D models showing the bodily damage binge-watching can do to the human body over time caused by a lack of exercise, a poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle from obesity and posture damage to premortatory aging and bloodshot eyes.

Now, why should Netflix take the hit for this, do you think?

Like, it's very specific.

They've ushered in the age of binging, though.

They're responsible for this.

I mean, just like the soda manufacturers with the sugar in their drinks, their sugary drinks, Netflix should be taking the task for putting out too much quality content.

They're too good.

Yeah, it's making people just zone out and tune in.

They're not real.

But they are out of shape.

I got to say, I agree.

I kind of look like this.

The guy has Murray's hairline, actually.

But yeah, I kind of looked like this when I was watching all sorts of TV and not doing anything, just watching TV and eating.

I don't know.

I mean, just saying,

I don't have a skin in the TV game at all, but I think that

I think it's a good idea for people to subscribe to HBO Max and binge and practical jokers.

Guess who has HBO Max?

Who's that?

That would be me, brother.

Oh, shit.

Binging that shit.

Oh, and then they have this.

And this is from every side.

Look how angry.

It looks like a zombie.

Hold on, I can't see the.

It's just weird.

Is his shirt off or on?

No, his shirt's off.

Oh, my God.

That is weird.

That can't be right.

That's sensationalism.

Is that like seeing, you know,

seeing your brain on drugs, you know, how they used to crack the egg and put it in the can and put it in the pan?

Does seeing that image of what a person looks like 20 years of binging make you rethink anything here?

Make me think?

No.

No?

Yeah.

I don't before the pandemic, I never really watched enough TV to make me that

slouched, let's say.

Yeah, it looks like it's like a de-evolution scale.

Yeah,

it's really weird.

Well, now what will have to happen is like some health companies will have to come in and build like a TV harness, a vest, that'll keep your body from like, you know, slouching while you're watching, binging.

God forbid we fucking we don't watch a fucking show for like a season in one night.

We got to fucking watch.

We have to watch the whole fucking thing

in one sitting.

You're right.

And I used to do that where I would get real excited about a series and be like, boom, it's done.

It's done in two days.

F is for Family, the new season came out.

And I was like, you know what?

I want to savor this.

I don't want to blow through it inside of a day or two.

Like a little watch, a little bit here and there, you know?

Don't sit there for the whole day.

God, that's a fucking good show, though.

The shit they say, I cannot believe they get away with today, but I'm happy that

it's set in the 70s.

That's why I'm happy that they do.

You know what's better about podcasts than Netflix and TV shows?

You can do healthy things while listening to Tell him Steve Dave.

Right.

As long as you're on a raycon, you could jog.

You can get in your treadmill and listen to us.

Beth the running ant, same thing.

She listens to, she runs and she listens to Tell him Steve Dave.

Not on raycons probably, but someday.

Well, how do you know she's not?

Let's just for the sake of this of this episode.

But did I say she didn't?

Yeah.

Why do we have to say she's not?

I'll cut that out.

Oh, it could be killing sex.

Offering an alternative for many couples who watch the shows in the evening hours who would have otherwise been doing the deed.

Well, you know what?

There's enough kids in the fucking world.

I live next to three fucking schools, and when they were in, the traffic is insane.

So watch Netflix, don't have kids, I say.

But what about people who just want to have sex, but like

responsibly, though?

Oh, like all over the tits and shit?

No, you just like.

You take precautions, so you're not.

I mean,

that's got to be unhealthy, though, to be addicted to Netflix.

Netflix?

Oh, Oh, yeah.

It says, um, it's worse than painkillers, right, Bri?

Well,

it's definitely cheaper.

Oh, my God.

Could you imagine if all those pills only cost $7.99 a month?

I'd still be on them for one, probably.

I'd be on them.

And

I would live in something that wasn't so crooked and had central air.

It says here that the average person spends 78,000 hours of their time life watching television.

And of that figure, nearly 3,000 of those hours are spent deciding what to watch.

But why is that a bad number?

That seems extremely high.

I mean,

that's like sleeping a third year life.

I mean, that's got to be on the same playing field.

But my argument would be like

you would assume, or you can make the assumption, I think, that those are pleasurable, that's pleasurable time spent you're watching stuff you want to watch so what's what's the what's the harm like you're doing something that makes you feel good so what what else should you be doing but that's that's if you're if you watch

2.7 hours

of tv every day

for your entire life

yeah then you're gonna reach 78 000 hours

i guess you know what it is like i'm you know what i'm i'm a hypocrite if you grow to 70 if you're if you live to 78.

But

I probably have the TV on more than that during the, because I stay up rather late.

The TV's on, but I'm just not paying attention to it, so I don't consider myself like,

oh, I'm not really watching it, but it's on, though.

Sure.

So, like, I'm a piece of shit, just like when I

came down on you about the Lego.

Again, I'm coming down on Netflix.

Yeah, you were harsh.

You were harsh on that.

But, you know what?

But I learned something, though, and that's what I'm trying to do every day, though, is learn.

And I just learned that, you know, Netflix good.

Lego good.

Lego good.

It doesn't say that here in Netflix good.

In fact, it says it could kill you.

Call me say, tell him, Steve, Dave.

Sure, go ahead.

I don't know if you had anything else.

All right, tell them, Steve, Dave.
