#406: The Slippery Slope of Satanism

You fucked us, you fucked me, you fucked you.

Go deeper.

He was definitely like double-jointed or something and he wanted to show it to us.

Tell him Steve Dave.

Hello,

and welcome to this week's edition of Tell him Steve Dave with Q, with Gidem.

Howdy.

With Walt flanagan and with me you're very excited yeah very excited oh we got get him at the table again and it's not the dinner table so we're not going to go bust

got lots of stuff to talk to you since let's talk about since we missed last week none more important though yeah

than a pressing schedule cue which you always have yeah i got on a busy stage of things you might say right so when you're like hey

well in advance here's some dates to do something right Let's figure out if we can do it.

You would expect somebody, a friend, even.

Pal.

Chum.

Boon companion.

Would respond

and say, yeah, your name.

He did respond.

Did he?

He said he had to feed horses or something, right?

If you're just tuning in now, some time ago, two weeks,

Q said, hey,

let's go to Vegas.

Get him.

All expense paid trip to Vegas.

Yep.

First class, your own room.

Anything you want to do, you can plan.

Yeah.

And then April 24th, I said, hey, you really want to go to Vegas?

He says, yes, as long as old man Flanagan approves.

Now.

He's trying to put it on wall.

He said, yes.

I had already checked walls.

I ran the dates by wall before I ran them by get them.

I said, does that work?

He says, I'll have to run it by my father and Debbie.

Sorry.

I'll have to run it by my father to see if if I can get coverage for the horses.

Yeah.

April 24th.

We're now on May 1st.

May 1st.

Now, when you're scheduling flights, especially first class,

there aren't that many seats, so you got to get them all you can, just like Pokemon get them.

We're just talking about it.

You gotta, you gotta catch them all.

Well, we're two weeks, we're less now, less than two weeks out.

It gets way more expensive.

Right.

So, um,

no respect for your bank account.

Well, I don't think it's that.

I think it's just you don't want to.

What is it, Gebby?

No, I had to get I had to get approval.

It's from who?

Well, no, my father and my friend Debbie, who's your parents are never going to give you approval, so fucking forget that.

Well, yeah, he was, he was, he was nervous.

He started giving me this speech about how you can't go off the strip, and you know, he's got to be.

Wait, what?

He didn't say that.

Yes.

Because you got to be careful if you've got to stay on the strip because, you know, when you go out there, it's like crazy.

What are you concerned about?

What's something you got to shoot?

I guess he knows knows somebody who's on the Las Vegas Police Department.

So he's like, you know, there's lots of stuff goes on there.

So you gotta.

He doesn't think you can handle yourself.

He's worried about me.

He's a father.

Yeah, I got a father.

Well, you got a father.

It was the last time they were, you know, either of our fathers were like, hey, don't do this.

It's too dangerous.

But

we take care of people's horses who pay us.

So, you know, you have to,

you know, make sure you have coverage for.

Do you have coverage for the horses or not?

Now I do, yes.

You're at Q.

Go spend the money.

Well, my thing is like you just.

And it's fine if you don't want to go.

Like, this is a problem with you.

I do want to go.

I'm not saying I don't want to go.

When did you get the coverage?

I just finalized it today.

So you do want to.

Do you believe him, Walt?

I do believe him.

I do see

there's not a real sense of urgency, though, to get it done, though.

Which leads me to think that maybe you are a little

apprehensive, a little bit.

I mean, maybe

subconsciously, I don't know, if there's something going on, there may be

like you're not like moving hell and earth to, or heaven and earth, what's it heaven and

earth, yeah, to get,

to get it.

It seems like, you know, it was

But I don't know if that's because you're maybe you're a little concerned, there's or you have some concerns, or there's something that's maybe it's your OCD.

I don't know, but there does seem to me, if I had to be honest, I felt there was something was gnawing at you.

I don't even know if you realize it.

So would you say in relation to my normal way to get things or my normal speed to get things done?

Which is slow, ash.

Splatial?

Okay.

Would you say this was a lot quicker than that?

No.

Not at all.

No, I felt like it was just as it's on a time frame that...

is maddening at times.

And you pay him.

You pay him.

He's offering free shit.

Yeah.

There's something going on.

I don't know what it is.

It may just be

your just normal

like island time that you feel that

you can live on other people's dime.

I don't know if that's it.

Or is there something more?

It's something to do maybe with your conditions that you have that you're afflicted with.

I'm not even saying in the bad way.

I just say I do feel like I do feel as if there was something like

holding you back from being like, it doesn't seem like this is something that you definitely are like, I'm all in, man.

I don't give a fuck what I got to do.

I am there, my friend.

But if, like, right out of the gate, there was none of that.

There would have been like, I'm going to get coverage for these fucking horses inside of 24 hours.

Yes.

Yeah.

Those horses, I'll fucking open the gate and let it go.

But you know what?

Maybe they'll catch them.

And get him to defense.

So I don't know if there's anything that you could offer up that he would act that way, though.

What about some old packaging from previous deliveries?

I truly don't know.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would make him, that moves his needle to where he has to move at a, at a quickened pace.

Are you saying there's no way to incentivize this guy?

I don't know if there really is.

I really don't know if there is at this point.

That's kind of like

cool, huh?

It would be cool if

he was.

Well, I'm telling you right now, I'm looking at the dates, and there are no first-class flights left except for one JetBlue with a stop in Boston that takes 10 hours, nine minutes to get to Vegas.

And JetBlue is not really first-class.

It's just extra room in the seat.

Yeah, it's not a true first class.

So you may have.

You fucked us.

You fucked me.

You fucked Q.

Why can't you guys just go to Atlantic City for those dates?

We can.

We can do that.

I just wanted to get him.

I know, but like, if you can't make it to Vegas, though, you guys can, I mean, you can drive down to AC and almost have the same experience.

Have you been to Vegas?

Yeah, I've been to Vegas.

With you, oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

We went to see Ellis Cooper.

We lost some money on Blackjack.

No, not in Vegas.

We saw them in AC.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought we were still talking about Atlantic City.

Look at what we drove through, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

What's up?

Well, I mean, I'm not here to bury you again.

I mean, I came here to be on the standing and everything like that.

Okay.

So.

Here's where he cries, pork.

It's going to cost him three times as much.

Big deal.

Look at what on this.

Listen to this.

Because when we first looked, tickets are like $600 for first class.

The only one was that JetBlue one.

This is all they have non-stop.

Economy.

$2,777 per ticket.

That is Mother's Day, yeah.

That is Mother's Day weekend.

That's crazy.

But cue.

I mean,

I think

you're not going to do it?

I'm not paying

out.

Economy.

He's in the last row.

I'll go another weekend.

Not this weekend.

Okay.

All right.

But I mean, it's not that much more.

It's only two grand more a ticket.

Well, I did read online that the more you go and check on flights, they raise the price.

So it's probably that, right?

Not that you waited a week and a half.

My point being, we could go.

We can't go that weekend now.

Okay.

We can go another weekend.

The same thing's going to happen, though, though.

He got clearance for that weekend.

So maybe we should just go to Atlantic City that night?

There's worse ways to spend a night.

All right.

so are you

in if you go to Atlantic City then?

Holy shit.

It's like,

why did you say that?

Why the fuck did you say that?

You know you would not get, you know, how hard it was going to be for you to go to get clearance on another weekend.

You can still go to Vegas with that.

I'll go, but

you can't back out on Vegas on him, though.

No.

If I go to AC, you can't take that Vegas away off the table.

I want to go to Vegas.

Okay.

This is for me.

I want to go hang out with my pal.

All right.

But what do we do in Vegas, though?

I mean, not in Vegas in the AC.

There's a big uh because I don't drink.

There's a sub-place that appears to be pretty good over there.

A what?

A sub-place, yes.

You know, I don't eat subs.

No,

I do.

In all seriousness, though, like, what is that?

What would be on the itinerary, though?

I mean, that changes the truth.

Yeah.

Why?

How come?

Because Vegas has like Broadway.

Do they have like shows?

Is there a Blue Man Group in AC?

The Dead Heroin Addicts Under the Boardwalk.

AC is really just built around mostly just gambling.

Mostly gambling.

I mean, there's probably some low-end strip clubs around, I would imagine.

I'm sure that Delilah's got out of the drink and it's not the same.

Yeah.

Definitely not the same thing.

All right, so maybe just

focus on Vegas then.

If it's not the same deal and it's all about, you know, if you're not going to have the fun there.

Who get him?

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't sound like Vegas is moving his needle now at all.

They're not compatible or accused needle.

It sounds like he's a step down.

It's just not, you can't go to AC expecting to get the experience you would get in Las Vegas.

Okay.

It's not the same.

It's not like you can go like see Area 51 or the Hoover Dam in AC.

Right, right.

Okay.

So.

Well, if you want to do those things, though,

I just feel like you need to

put some giddy up in that fucking

terms he understands.

Well, the problem is when when you start going out further and further for like asking people to help, it gets tougher and tougher.

And they get back to us slower.

Because the person who's taking care of the horses, she's just had a recent cancer scare, and it's

yeah,

it's talking to her is like it's but he, but she didn't have cancer.

She did, but it was, but it was

all right.

Yeah, but she's gonna cease to be scary once you don't have it anymore?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, isn't there a chance that it's gonna come back?

Like, I know it's like supposed to be five years.

You're scared for the rest of your life?

No, like five, once it hits five years and you're not, it hasn't remission?

Remission.

Yeah, then you're usually safe for a while.

Look at fucking Jeff Luck, man.

He's out there like it ain't no thing.

I mean, I have other dates that I can throw you away

if you want to try it again.

But you can't stress enough if you don't want to go.

No, it's not that I don't.

It's not that I don't want to go.

I wouldn't get upset at all.

I mean, I'm kind of excited.

Like, I was asking.

Do you have to pay people to come by and watch horses?

You must be able to, right?

Like, you have to be able to pay someone to be like, hey, what do you got to do?

Yeah, but they got to be reliable.

What do you have to do for a horse?

And then they got to be reliable, and then they have to be willing to accept that they may get injured.

And all right, well, if they fucking take care of horses, they must know that, right?

Yeah, but it's not.

Okay.

What I'm saying is, you get up in the morning, you go to bed at night.

What care do you have to give, say, just one horse?

Just one of those horses?

I have to feed them, and then I have to put them outside and make sure they have hay and water.

How long does this process take?

It doesn't take long, but to find somebody.

How long does this process take?

About 20 to 30 minutes.

And then same at night.

You fucking open a door put hay on the ground and put water on the ground and you're like i can't find someone responsible enough to do that

well especially when it's a tenant you got a brush they're paying no they're paying you to take care of their horses so that they don't have to worry about it what if you train me to do it and i can i'll and i'll agree to do it then

if you if you think yeah if you i think i could fucking put water in a pail motherfucker wait wait can you open a gate though

you know it's it's not then you got to show me how to bring your horse out though so I don't get kicked in the head.

That's

all I've got.

Is there a certain way?

We actually.

We had our neighbors next door just got three alpacas, and it caused one of the horses to freak out at the farm.

And while bringing him in last night, he

pushed the owner over and almost dislocated his shoulder.

Whoa.

What happens if the horse doesn't get out and it just stays in the stall?

What would happen to the horse?

For overnight.

It gets a little hungry.

They can stay in the stall, but then they're messing up their stall.

They're standing in the house.

Oh, yeah, you're ready to shovel out all that shit.

I'm not doing that.

Yeah.

That's got to be a good thing.

Do I have to do that?

No, no.

No.

You can subcontract that to somebody else.

I wish they were like my cats where I could put out two days' worth of food, three days' worth of food, just leave them, and they take care of themselves.

My cats are like that.

I mean, you know.

It's tough, man.

Responsibilities, Q.

These are responsibilities of the common man, not you.

I've been common humanity.

Right.

At all.

Yeah,

your regular, like, Johnny Lunch pill can't just just sit whenever he wants.

It's not like that.

And it's tough because.

You reserved it.

And I reserved it for guests.

I wouldn't even answer.

Told you at the zero hour.

Yeah, it's not going to happen.

Oh, by the way.

All right.

Well,

it's tough because my father works weekends at the stadium, and now the racing is starting at the racetrack.

Debbie works her job at the racetrack.

Do you resent this, like having these responsibilities that don't allow you to lead a normal life?

I've said it all the way back to when I had my dating profile is I live on a farm and I got to take care of animals.

So sometimes animals come first.

I mean, it's...

In every way possible.

Yeah, I think, though, that...

Are they going to be a good person?

There's ways to get around.

Other farmers go out and live lives, you know, that they do.

right

yeah and you're not even a fucking farmer so stop trying to

i agree with what walt said before it was like

do you can we can we agree that

it was some hedging it there was a little bit of hedging like you could have immediately jumped on it and got it done i i tried i tried getting in touch with my father and he

He said, you know, get in touch with Debbie.

Debbie said, I can't do it.

And so then we had to reach out to somebody else.

And that's where it starts getting

slower.

But it doesn't take seven days to do that necessarily.

Dude, I have a kid, I put way less thought into it.

I'm like, I'm there.

I'll put some water and food on the floor.

I'll open the door.

She can come and go as she pleases.

So let me ask you: like, what is, and dude,

as your friend, I'm telling you, I'm not going to make fun of you at all.

What do you think is behind?

Well, I wouldn't.

What is behind your trepidation against going to Vegas?

It's his condition.

It's probably just the same.

Yeah, the same.

It's the thing that holds him back on everything.

It's the reason why he's a hoarder.

It's the reason that he's gid him.

It's the reason that he's in the lot that he's living in right now.

What is the feel?

Does the idea of it call up anxiety a little bit?

I don't think I've ever seen him.

The only time I've ever seen him

anxious is about his car.

That's the only thing that's the only thing.

I'm not in the right to not self-incriminate here or something.

I don't know.

Am I correct?

So far, I've been correct, right?

Would you say I've been off base with my evaluations?

You've been in the ballpark.

Well, what is it?

Why didn't he, why didn't he just, like, let me just ask him now?

Why didn't he

for something that

a lot of people online, many, many people, like, in a heartbeat.com, come.

What's the date I'll go?

I'll go, I'll go.

I'll take it out.

And again, I'm sure you have a good reason.

Well, what do you think it is?

Why did he not?

I think it all kinds boils down to the same reasons that he

acts the way he does and does the things.

These are things that, like, he has things in a proper order, or not really in order, it's disorderly.

disorder.

But he finds there, if he finds

that routine or that

things that he's responsible for,

nothing can precede those things.

Right.

And even, like,

I don't think I've ever seen the man excited about anything other than something coming in the mail.

And then immediately after it's opened, that level of excitement fades almost like a candle going out.

And then it's gone.

And even that.

And then that,

but like, nothing really excites him or motivates him to do things diff I don't think there's anything you could all put on the table that will make him break from his routines or his way of living.

Nothing.

Trip to Vegas is is really just a couple of days and it's not going to make him change his or alter anything in his life.

But that you'd say that's accurate?

Whatever Walt thinks.

And you guys want to say yes.

I mean,

i guess i could say i don't like getting excited about stuff because you can get let down and

you know maybe that's why you know i yeah when it's something shows up it's here so it's it's right in front of you there's that gratification but do you not think of me as a again this is i swear this isn't a bit but do you not think of me as a genuine friend i think of you as a friend yes because i because i to me it's like if you look at did you invite him over for christmas I don't remember.

You did, right?

He asked you if you wanted to come over for Christmas.

I don't think you should take this stance at all that this has anything to do with him not thinking of you as a friend.

It doesn't.

This is all up here.

Right, but that's what you're saying.

That's that gerbil wheel that's not working right up there.

Look at the things I've offered over the years.

I said,

we'll eBay stuff.

We'll get your teeth fixed.

Right.

He is not.

Yeah, there's a he's been sitting on stuff.

Then I told him last year, if you lose weight, we'll give you $5,000 cash.

He did not jump on it.

This year, I'm like, hey, man, we'll go to Vegas.

It'll be all expense paid.

We'll take care of it.

We'll have a blast.

You could plan everything.

We're not sandbagging you.

So I'm just wondering if, like,

what?

Those are three big swings that I've taken to try and win this guy over.

So what do I need to tell you that I'm like, there's nothing you could put in front of him that's going to make him alter his

life?

He said yes to all three of those things.

Why say yes?

Because it's easy to say yes, but then what to actually follow through with it means there's work involved.

He's not the most most ambitious person.

Let's just take one at a time, selling the shit.

Why do you not sell the stuff and get yourself teeth?

I know you don't like to put on airs and all that, but still, I don't think teeth are.

But you could do it.

Yeah, I guess I just kind of fell out of the habit of putting stuff online.

That's all you do here all day, right?

Yeah.

So you couldn't pop a couple things up.

But they're not his personal things.

There is a huge difference between selling items that aren't his.

That's for you, neither.

He's fucking Q's hair.

That's not yours.

It's not yours to keep.

Well, you gave it to him.

To sell.

Right.

And then I'm waiting for the movie to come out.

Yes.

I've heard this.

He's been saying this since he got the hair.

The show isn't popular enough.

Not enough people are aware of you yet, bro.

The fuck.

I think

he's going to be America's darling even more than when the movie comes out.

I don't know about that.

I mean, even if he is, you think the hair would go for that much more than.

I mean, you know, you're expecting

normal.

not normal but you're expecting reactions uh that you get from other people in your life

that's what you're expecting from him and i expected those things too and it took it took how long you've been working here about three years exactly he's not a human he's a case study

i expected things to be and and certain conduct too and when i didn't get it i was i was very irate and i i started to come to the realization that like it's never it's it's you can't expect those things that you get from other people.

He's not going to give them to you in the same way that you get them from other people, though.

I hear what you're saying.

I've known people in life that

I would keep expecting them to behave differently.

And I'm like, if I adjust my behavior or if I do things a little differently, then that'll change it.

But you're like, no, it's like, yeah, I hear what you're saying.

It's like, and I bang my head against the wall.

So you're saying I'm the scorpion on the back of the

fox?

Pretty much.

The frog.

Yeah.

Everybody knows who you are, so why would they expect you to behave differently?

But you, I guess.

I've talked a few times myself.

In Q's defense, though, because I've been where Q's been, though, you're like, well, how could you not?

And

it's bewildering, and

it's a Pandora,

like you a paradox, I mean.

Yeah, because I don't want to, if offering these things gives him anxiety, then I don't want to do that.

I don't know if it's not anxiety, it's too strong a word.

I just think that

you're not going to get that level of like

chest bump and and fist bumps and like you're just not going to get

apathy more

I don't even say it's apathy I think it's too strong a word that's a negative word in my opinion I don't think it's negative I just think it's he's hardwired he can't process

he's hardwired differently yeah

and either you accept that

Sometimes it's it's sometimes it's hard to accept that but other times it's not you know If you do, it's

you don't ever walk away going like, well, is it me?

Or

is it like?

It definitely isn't.

It's kidding.

It's definitely not you, P.

And I hope that.

It is not you.

I'm just trying to understand.

And I don't think he feels this way, but if he was like, look,

I like you.

I don't know that we're close enough to spend the weekend in Vegas together.

I don't think it's that at all.

That's an acceptable answer.

You know what I mean?

That's not the answer.

That's not the answer, though.

It goes way deeper and more fucking convoluted.

To get through that muck and mire that's causing this is slowly.

We're not qualified to do that.

So, should I not get other dates due, or should I?

I think now it's easier.

Like I said, we've already established we have someone who can take care of the horses.

So, I'll do that.

And it's out there.

Because I guess normally it's just assumed that I don't do anything.

And

I'm there all the time to take care of the horses.

Okay.

All right.

I'll get more dates.

I'll get different dates.

How far out does Q need to go so you can get these horses taken care of?

I mean, maybe two weeks wasn't enough.

No.

Like I said, now that we have COVID.

Can you do it in like

August?

Yeah, I've got to look at my schedule weekend by weekend

and look into it.

So that had to be on a weekend because he can go on weekdays.

Usually I'm working.

I would rather go on a weekday.

Weekdays are easier because my father doesn't work at the stadium on most weekdays.

Well, no, I'll look for weekdays.

Yeah, I would rather go on a weekday.

Like, he was real busy the other weekend,

past week, with Motocross.

They came to these are things like Giddam's dad's schedule.

I'll say the listeners.

Yeah, this is stuff.

But he's a hard-working old man.

I mean, nobody cares about it.

Nobody gives a shit.

Okay.

All right.

I'll give a range of dates.

And we'll start again.

Speaking of this, this

calamity that is Giddam,

it's Autism awareness.

Celebrate Autism Awareness Month.

Month.

Okay.

Month.

An entire month.

Wow.

All right.

What are we celebrating exactly?

I saw it on the little billboard, not the billboard, the thing in front of the school, whatever that thing's called.

That announcement board.

That's how you're going to celebrate it?

Celebrate autism.

Celebrating uniqueness, I think.

I think it's just awesome.

And accepting.

Yeah, and again, awareness.

But how are you celebrating it?

I don't understand what we're celebrating.

I have the same thing about breast cancer awareness.

It's like, are people not aware of breast cancer?

Or why do we need a month to, I mean, I understand a month.

If it's a month between focusing on you getting

a cure or on tits, raising

a year,

give me breast cancer.

Over autism.

But we got to.

It's diverse, right?

Diversity.

It's our greatest strength.

We got to.

But I don't understand what we're celebrating.

And you're saying uniqueness?

Yeah, celebrating the

good thing, not the good thing, I'm saying, but the unique things that

those brains can offer us

and not like, and accepting that and being like, well, you know what?

Do I need another person that is super excited and like borish to go, like, to get excited about going to Vegas?

Or do you celebrate the guy who's just like,

I think we both know the answer to that.

I mean, we're not going to Vegas, so I guess you celebrate the Facebook.

Yeah, I didn't quite get that.

That whole

month,

a month?

It's a month for everything.

I mean, a week, maybe.

You need more than a week.

You have days for a week.

You have what?

Yeah, pizza day.

You have

my responsibility, and I'm an asshole if I'm not out there 30 fucking days being like, hey, guys,

how about how unique everyone with autism is?

Do you have a sticker or a large amount of fuckers that got vaccinated?

I think that's what makes your asshole, right?

That's That's what I just said.

That's that part.

Do you have the little magnet on the back of your Jeep?

Because that's all that you really need to do to show.

No, hey, I'm for it.

I just, I don't know.

Maybe I feel bad because I don't know how to celebrate it.

Well, I don't know.

I think you're getting caught up on the word because I think what they're trying to say is, like,

look, man, like, autism is a thing.

Like, let's take it out of the shadows.

Like, don't be ashamed of it.

I mean, I think there is some awareness that, like, you know, like, like, some police forces, they have specially trained officers who are, you know, paid or trained to deal with people with special needs.

I know Howell or I think Monmouth County in general has a registry.

Oh, so like they're doing something and they show up to their business.

They know that there's someone like who autistic and they're holding it.

They might flip out and bite you or something.

Yeah.

And you got to

approach with no lights on, that kind of stuff to not, you know,

aggravate them.

Okay.

Agitate.

Agitate.

Do you guys want to do what I say?

I guess you have to use all that.

I walked in.

Giddam is quizzing Waltz on Gene Simmons' likes and pick peas, circa 78.

I gotta say, he was nailing.

Through that magazine right over there.

Yeah.

Just exploding.

No matter what I'm doing in the world, there's two of you doing shit like this.

Like, whatever you're doing, it's probably not as interesting as if you walked in on this.

I was bowing you, wasn't I?

Yeah, yeah.

If you guys had put this shit on the comp would have been never,

you know.

But then even we had some more, we had a more intellectual conversation when you were gone about uh

insular dwarfism, insular, yes, what's that?

Um, I'm into it, large species that, uh, no, I asked him, I said, Do you know why we don't grow to be 10 foot tall?

Do you know why?

I said, Do you know why?

It's like they're crapped in a room together and they've run out of everything else to talk about.

And is it like, is it kind of rhetorical like you're saying this?

Or are you like, he must know?

I'm testing him to to see if he does.

He's going to celebrate autism every month of the year.

Well, I said, we're advanced enough and smart enough that we don't need to be 10 foot tall to like, you know, reach things.

We can make a ladder.

So.

But it all comes down to genes, right?

And not gene simmons.

But by going.

But by that, then wouldn't other creatures be taller?

Like, say a dog needs to get on a roof.

Why isn't he 10 feet tall so he can just jump up there?

He doesn't need to be up there.

But then you have creatures like Ella.

You have creatures like giraffes

sleeping sleeping on his fucking roof of his bed.

This is so fucking weird.

It's amazing.

And I think you said it was the androgynous times for them.

Yeah.

It was 87.

And then we found, we thought it was like the first Photoshop photo ever.

But I told Giddam, because he'd mentioned this island, right, where they found these.

Yes,

Homo florensis.

Have you heard of Homo florensis too?

Florensis.

No, I don't want to really get into stuff like this because last week I took a drubbing.

A lot of

stuff.

You took a drumbing.

Yeah, a lot of people are not.

I mean, it was pretty bad, and so many emails I got.

Like, I don't want to have people just stop listening because, so I really don't want to get into anything more science and shit.

Your Teflon's going away now?

I don't know.

Like, if it means I'm losing, we're losing the listeners, and I don't want that to happen.

But you've never been a fucking listener in the first place.

Looks like it's all photos.

If you can't talk about dinosaurs

and how scientists are

purposely keeping down God by introducing fake bullshit.

If you can't talk about that, if that offends somebody, holy shit,

I don't know what to tell you.

Do you want to live in this country anymore?

No, they just don't.

How much do you celebrate, you dumb motherfucker?

Like, come on.

But the thing about the dwarf thing, though, and I said, he said that on islands, they're more prone.

People are more prone to be

smaller.

Because the gene pool is tighter?

It's because they're moving less because they're like on an island.

So they're not venturing that far.

So they become smaller to

conserve less energy, you know, conserve energy.

And I maintain that, like, if

it's too bad that didn't catch on all over the world, though, and we were all just the normal size was like three foot tall.

We probably weren't.

How small would midgets be?

There would be no.

Make it happen.

So island dwarves.

Oh, I just said that I think that we probably wouldn't be dealing with global warming right now if we were all smaller.

And you also said we'd be a lot happier.

Yes, I agree.

I thought that.

Shorter people seem happier.

What?

What?

You mean children?

Yes.

Of course they do.

Yes.

I said

short.

He actually simply mentioned children.

They're normal size.

They're just kids.

Like, if they never grew.

Look, I don't want to talk about this because, like I said,

this was a conversation I did not intend to have on my.

Again, people are annoyed as it is.

I don't want to anger them anymore.

I like it when you anger up.

No, no, it's not what I'm, I'm not, why I'm doing this.

I live with that every day.

Wow.

Uh, what did you do for Easter?

I went to Boston.

That's right.

You went to Salem.

How was it?

It was cool.

You know, I went to.

It's hard to catch that Salem vibe when it's not Halloween, right?

Like, not as many.

Well, I've never been there on Halloween, but

it is a little weird.

It's not as

retro-looking as I thought it would be, Salem.

Right.

I thought it would be a lot of old, really old, old, old Gothic houses.

And, you know, I didn't expect to see Cumberland Farms and Dunkin' Donuts everywhere.

Kind of like it ruins the Mystique.

Right.

Have a spooky shake here at 7-Eleven or whatever.

Give a fuck.

And

we stopped at the really off-the-beaten path, something we normally wouldn't do as a family.

We stopped at

a satanic church.

A satanic church, huh?

Yeah.

Now, did everyone convert?

I know the girls were raised Catholic.

Well, we pulled into the because we couldn't find it at first.

It was on the map, and we're like, let's hit the satanic church, see what's in there.

And it took us a while to find it.

We drove past it three or four times because it didn't look like a church, it was just in the house.

It was in the back of a Cumberland Farms.

It was right next to a Cumberland Farms, yeah.

Like two doors away from a Cumberland Farms, which really doesn't lend itself to looking evil.

The authenticity takes a hit.

But we pulled into the parking lot.

It's on a Saturday afternoon, and there's nobody, and there's not one car.

And there's a sign on the door that said, you know, be back in five minutes.

Went on a coffee break or something.

I like that Satanist leave sign.

Did it have like that little clock that they, you know, they move the

handwritten?

It was handwritten.

Okay.

So

everybody wants to leave.

And I'm like, we're only going to be here once.

We're never coming back again.

It wasn't that good.

That's a promise.

So I was was like let's not just blow out of here i go i mean the guy just probably went for coffee of your well it said we went for a coffee break he'll be right back give us drinks so i'm with my mother-in-laws there um my wife my two kids and they start to get that like we're not going in Initially they were like, we're going in.

We're going to do it.

All of a sudden, they're like, they're all of a sudden they're getting bad mojo.

And I'm like, why?

I go, what is going on?

They're like, no, it's too deserted.

I'm not going in.

It's weird that they would just put a sign on the door.

I go, it's weird that you think there'd be more than two employees.

It's weird that you think you're going to get attacked when there's a corporate farms two doors down.

So

we say we're, so they're like, I'm like, all right, well, I'll just leave then.

So as I were pulling out, though, the sign's off the door.

And my daughter goes, the sign's off the door, but nobody pulled into

the parking lot with us.

So I was like, well, obviously then he was not on a coffee break.

He was taking a, you know, he was taking a bathroom break, I said.

Or he had coffee within the place.

He was like, I'm down there and coffee.

Walked in the back door, the employees entrance.

He's definitely taking a shit, girls.

What are we going to do?

What's our move?

So then I'm like, well, you want to go in?

I mean, it's open, and nobody wants to go in except Alicia, who's willing to go in.

So me and Alicia.

She's an all-right kid, huh?

She's pretty much up for anything.

She'll go in.

She's not worried about it.

Even my oldest one was like, I'm not going in.

I don't want to see it.

There's nothing there I want to see.

I'm like, how do you know?

You don't know what's in a satanic church.

You don't know what it's going to look like.

And so they don't decide to go in.

And then it's $12 to get in.

So it's going to be $24 for us to get in to see what's ever in there.

So I'm like, all right, let's just do it.

We're on vacation, two-day vacation.

Never going to be back here.

I'm a man of means.

I go, I'm willing to splurge and pay to $24 to get in to see this place.

So we walk in, and it's like a mansion.

Not a mansion, but I guess it's like a mini-mansion.

Like a Victorian town.

Yeah.

It's a nice gothic-looking house.

It's not black, though.

You would think it'd be painted black.

What's the church?

Salem Satanic Church.

You should see a picture of it probably.

I believe I read it was a used to be a funeral home.

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

That's what it looks like, exactly.

And we walk in and we turn the corner, and there's like this little,

like, really

half-assed gift shop

that has some satanic

stuff, like t-shirts and hoodies and stuff.

Cozies.

But nothing like...

That's it.

Yeah.

That's it.

And nothing really all that spectacular in this little gift shop.

And then there's this guy behind like a desk or like a high desk.

And he looks like, you know,

he looks like he's like he just stepped off the set of Lord of the Rings or like a fucking Game of Thrones or something.

You know, he's got that look.

You know what I'm talking about?

That look.

And so we go up to him, and I notice and I nedge, I like elbow my daughter because I'm like, look at his legs.

He was sitting in a position that was was not normal.

Right.

Like sitting like a satyr,

like you would like, well, like goat legs.

Right.

In the middle of a.

He was definitely like double-jointed or something, and he wanted to show it to us.

Right.

That's part of the show.

You paid $12.

$12 a piece.

So he had legs like Twergo?

No, like they went the wrong way.

Oh, okay.

And he was like intentionally sitting that way to be like...

Right.

That's why I'm here.

Yeah, that's why I'm on this side.

You're on that side.

These rickets were the way to fortune for me.

So he goes, Are you interested in taking the tour?

And I'm like, definitely.

And so we buy the two tickets and he starts.

Four hours.

He goes, Everything,

you can't go upstairs.

He goes, You can't go in this room.

You can't go in this room.

Somebody rules.

And I'm like, okay, no problem.

And we,

the tour,

no joke, took less than five minutes.

I was just like,

when I start to go in another room, he goes, oh, no, you can't go in there.

And I go, oh, okay, which way?

He goes, you're done.

He goes,

you shouldn't have blown through it.

He goes.

Oh, really?

That's what he said.

No, he didn't give us a tour guy.

He goes,

I'm not allowed to,

we want people to go at their own pace.

He goes, and

we're not supposed to walk around and give you.

Supposed to do it on your own speed.

Right.

And he chides you for doing it on your own speed.

Say, well, you want to see me do that thing with my legs again?

Actually, he never stood up.

Oh, no?

Which I wondered if, like, you mean, maybe he did have.

He got crippled.

He might have just been crippled.

But there was only one thing worth seeing.

There was this massive shit in the toilet.

Dude, forgot the flush.

I told you.

I told you it was about relax.

Just send it.

Scoop.

Send it some egg.

There was this massive

super

sweet-ass statue of Satan.

Oh, yeah.

And it's got to be made out of bronze, I guess.

I mean, it looks like it weighs a shit ton.

But it's so strange.

It looks like the Baphomet that

you see, the traditional Baphomet.

But on either side of him, it's as if they, like, there was a sculpture of Martin Luther King,

and there was like two children looking up at him, like a black child and a white child.

It looks like they sawed off those two kids and soldered them onto this Baphomet statue because there's these two freaky-looking little children staring up at him so adoringly.

It's so

yeah, I took a picture.

I get him has a picture of it on his phone now.

But that was the only thing worth seeing in the whole place, though.

Oh, wow.

Otherwise, they had an Ozzy Osbourne fucking album on the wall.

Really?

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

And there weren't any small replicas of that?

No, that's what they should be selling.

I was going to say, yeah, I would have bought one of them.

Man, that was basically the extent of it.

And oh, I remember.

It is a one and a half ton, nine foot tall bronze statue of

half a net.

It's impressive looking.

Oh, is that the one they just had a lawsuit about?

No, that was on Sabrina.

No, no, no.

I think you're talking about the temple, Satan's Temple versus the Church of Satan.

No, no, what he said,

Sabrina.

Yeah, they used the design, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, so that may be the statue that

this guy may be.

That's what I'm wondering.

Yeah, he may have filed the lawsuit against Sabrina.

Yeah.

Wow.

He hopped he wins you?

Do you think he should win?

Well, I did just read that they got IRS approval to be a non-profit.

Well, that's good.

They are a religion.

But I don't think...

I don't know.

Like, that would be like saying,

like, if there was a picture, like a statue of Jesus and then he sued

like a TV show.

If you, like, let's say props.

It's basically a prop in the TV show.

Right?

I didn't see the statue in question.

Is it the same exact statue that I saw at this, at this point?

Well, I think that design was created by the Satan's Temple.

I think that was it.

So they own the design.

It would be like...

With the children?

Two children.

I don't know about the children, but I know of the actual

Baffomet cannot be trademarked.

No, I mean that particular design.

I mean, I know that's what the.

You know what?

Let me look it up while we're talking.

Reference it.

And it was just in the background that they could use it.

But since they've made it part of the show i guess that the guy was like you can't just use my work as a thing but at the same time

cars and i don't know i don't know

that's a tricky slippery slope it is satan slope that's what it's the slipperiest slope out there this was apparently the statue they were trying to uh install on the arkansas state capitol Okay, well, they had to know that wasn't going to work.

Well, they tried.

So my daughter wasn't happy because I kind of was like, I didn't say it rudely, I didn't think, but I was just like,

are you serious?

I I said, that's it.

And she was like, she was like, you know, like face palming because she felt like I was being

a little bit of a man.

I would be like, hey, take your palm off your face.

Pay money for this.

Like, I have a right to ask a question, like, is that it?

I wasn't asking for my money back.

Satanists.

Why would you be surprised at this?

But they're not, but from what I read on the wall.

It doesn't matter what country we're in.

They're upstanding citizens in society they don't want it they want to shed that image of being ozzy osborne oh you know of being like charlatans and and people who you can't trust scammers sacrifice virgins and all this other well isn't the whole thing behind that just like they don't worship satan per se they just believe in the id and following the idea let me tell you something church of satan has everything down

You read their tenets, you read their commandments.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

It's pretty much like, hey, don't fucking hurt anybody.

Don't be an asshole to animals.

You want to do something, drugs, sex, whatever, the government shouldn't have a right to step in and be like, hey, do this, don't do that.

I might be Satanists.

I think I'm a Satanist for real.

Yeah, but people have

homogenized Satanism to be this like

wholesome quote-unquote thing where you know that that's not what Satanisms should be about.

No.

If you listen to Venom or.

But wait, so the Anton LeVay's book,

the Bible, right?

The Satanic Bible, yeah, that lays out like like what they believe.

You're saying that Satanism should be the darker

venom.

I mean, there's a reason why he's a lord of hell.

Doesn't every religion have like your far extremists that

differ from the core group?

We don't get political.

Here, go.

Sorry.

Can't talk about dinosaurs.

We sure can't talk about religion.

What a bummer, man.

This isn't what I wanted to hear from the Church of Satan, the Temple of Satan.

Yeah, they throw a hissy fit.

They're going to be getting some one-star Yelp reviews soon.

I wonder what kind of reviews that place has got.

Look it up.

Get them.

The Satanic Temple created this statue with Baphomet having a male chest called Baphomet with Children.

So I guess they use that exact

design.

Yeah.

The statue has gathered attention because they originally built it to donate to Oklahoma City.

to be near another donated statue about the Ten Commandments.

Yeah, you know that's not going to wash.

they're just going to.

Just trying to poke and poke someone's up.

Yeah, that was a big controversy.

That was a little bit of the Ten Commandment Monument.

Did you hear about that artwork that's also causing controversy, Q?

The bananas?

No, with the banana artwork.

Let me talk about the bananas real quick.

Did you see this lady in Jersey, Walt?

It reminded me of you a little bit.

It was an Easter thing, and a lady was upset that a guy had this display, this Easter display, I guess he used Playboy bunnies

instead of Easter bunnies.

This was pointed out to me.

And

she got all worked up and she tore down his entire display.

Waste of time on everybody's part.

Waste of time for everyone because some purple-haired wacko.

She's like, I don't want my kids in.

It's like, the kids are like 14 or 15.

16.

16.

Fucking.

Come on.

Wow.

Look at this.

Come on.

And I don't care if your kid was six.

You don't have the right to go in somebody else's property and start tearing shit apart because you don't like it.

Yeah.

They're not nude.

I also want to say I don't agree with the dentist.

Like, what's wrong with you?

It looks stupid.

It looks trashy as shit.

But if that's your yard and that's what you want to do,

but we live in a fucking society.

I wouldn't pay.

It reminds me of me.

I wouldn't go on someone's property and tear down their no, no, no.

I'm not saying you would tear it down, but it reminded me of the little cart cut-out kid piss and like this kind of stuff.

Yeah, would I be happy if this were like next to me?

Nah,

I would be like, what the fuck?

It's dumb.

But what are you going to do?

You got some reviews there?

Oh, yes.

There are two, so far, two Yelp reviews.

That's it?

For 4.5 stars.

One is from Joshua.

It says warm and welcoming, filled with amazing art and the best piece ever, the statue.

If you want to learn more, they have awesome people willing.

I can't read anymore because it wants me to download the app.

Thomas A.

says the gallery itself is very small, but the pieces on exhibit are stunning and unlike anything you will see at other museums.

The staff was friendly and limber.

Wow, that's what they're calling an Ozzy Osborne album.

Well, there was more stuff.

I mean, to be fair, there was more artwork on the wall, but it's just weird when you just throw a Blizzard of Oz album up on the wall and be like,

was it history?

Wasn't the choice of the Ozzy?

Satanists have been associated with heavy metal music.

Why not Black Sabbath, though?

Like, so much more.

Yeah, that's weird.

Yeah.

But speaking of museums and artwork, did you hear about the banana display?

No.

Yeah, there was a, I think it was in Poland.

They censored some artwork of people eating bananas.

Why?

I mean, I think it's pretty obvious why.

I think people are, and people, but people are upset by it, though.

In Germany?

Poland.

Oh, Poland.

Is it like that Whopper ad where the girl was eating the Whopper suggestively?

I think obviously there were some suggestive

Polish protesters eat bananas to protest.

Oh, so the government stepped in.

Oh, fuck.

I love it when the government steps in and is like, hey, you can't do this.

Hey, you can't do that.

Fucking bunch of cuns.

But do you think that there's your artwork belongs in museum of

basically

a metaphoring fellatio?

Well, it's hard for me to say without seeing the artwork.

I mean, I guess it wouldn't take much of imagination to figure out what the pictures are.

What's the medium?

Is it painting?

Is it

photography?

Of just people eating bananas.

Yeah, suggestively, though.

It's not like it's a fucking little kid doing it.

It's a dog.

Jesus almighty.

Christ Almighty.

But what there is to make who's doing it, though?

Like, you walk into the museum, you want to see, you want to to see a Picasso, you want to see a Rembrandt.

You want to see

a Michelangelo?

You want to see David's cockfoot flapping in the breeze?

As long as it's not in someone's mouth.

Cover him up.

Yeah, that's true.

Eating a banana.

Yeah, but we know what the banana represents, though.

To you, but that's what art's about.

Come on, not just to me.

It's just this wink and a nod of like, that's not what it is.

He's got that face on.

Art,

this is it?

Yes.

The government should not have stepped in and fucking pulled this out.

Would you put that on your wall?

What do you do?

Would you join the protest?

Would you join the protesters, Kim?

I'm not protesting anything.

Put a banana in your mouth.

This is not a UN cell phone.

This isn't even overly suggestive.

Would you eat a banana suggestively in unison?

I'm not doing anything.

No?

No.

You don't care enough?

It's weird because it is not even that suggestive.

That's just one picture, though.

Oh, no, actually, there's way more.

So apparently it's a wall of pictures.

Yeah, but she's nude, though, too, though.

It's tap boom.

That's not really.

Why are we pretending everyone doesn't like their cock sucked?

Or sucking on a cock?

Why are we pretending

for that, though?

It's not in the public media.

It's everywhere.

Blowchops are great.

But it's art.

I don't agree with that.

It's art.

But then is the government allowed to say what's art and what's not on?

And what if she's holding a banana just like looking at it suggestively?

Is that next?

I think think as soon as it goes in the mouth we know what's going on right as soon as it's inside your mouth

then put it in your mouth there's only one way to use the banana i didn't i didn't see any other fruit in the in that was made in 1973

i didn't see any

i didn't see an apple

so i didn't see a pineapple i didn't see

you feel the government was right to strip that music i think they should have the right to like decide the government you want to fucking win people back

in your fucking mind this is not the way to do it

i mean why aren't they our bosses there's

i mean overlords i mean friends why can't all right let's give the keys to our lives to the girls all right

put it in a wing then let's have a museum let's put it in the wing and let's put it in the basement with that over 18 wing right where the janitor watches over at the creepy jacket and if you want to go into this wing where there's more suggestive art go for it well why not a second but don't put it on display where i can wander in with with my girls and see this you think your girls are too young to see a person person with a banana in their mouth?

There's no way.

Well, why?

I don't believe you.

You don't believe me?

No, I don't believe you.

You think I was with you?

We're in Boston.

I'm like, hey, dad, you want to go see the exhibit of the banana eaters?

I'm like, no.

Like, come on, don't be such a prude.

I wouldn't want to go.

I don't want to see that.

I don't know.

Let me tell you, hold on.

Let me call the government and see what they think.

Do you want to know

the official meaning behind the?

I know you don't want to see that with your daughters, and that I understand.

But

if they went on a class trip and they were like, yeah, it was this weird banana eating exhibit.

I wouldn't have enough ire to demand it come down.

But I would be annoyed.

I'd be like, motherfucker,

why has everything got to be like this?

Why has this got to be thrust into our face constantly?

But they went out of their way to go there.

These people are going out of their way to go to a museum.

It's not thrust in their face.

But yes, it's not mandatory that they have to do it.

You're walking through the

art, but only art that doesn't challenge me in any way, shape, or anything.

And

that's something that doesn't offend me, which is every single person who now walks into a comedy club.

I only want to to hear jokes that don't affect me.

I'll take it a step further.

The only wing they should have in the fucking museum is for people like you.

This should be the fucking beige wing.

Beige.

Yeah, people like you can pay 50 cents and go to that wing and not get challenged by anybody.

Oh, I'll take 50 cents.

I'll take it 50 cents.

If I say Tennessee Museum,

figurines and

you got a class trip?

No.

On a class trip, the class of kindergartners through third grade should walk through the wing with all the

latio wing.

I think that the teachers should do research

on every exhibit that's there.

Yeah, that's the teacher's job.

One, two, I think that society shouldn't be held to the standards of what if a toddler walks in on a class trip.

Like, yeah, what if?

That's that's the

thing.

We're doing it because of like, what if this happened and we got to protect the kids, which is stated right here.

So, should nudity be on network TV then?

Yeah, really?

Wow, absolutely.

Eating a banana like it's everywhere but the United States.

How hardcore?

How hardcore should it be on Prime Time, ABC, NBC, CBS?

I think they go as hard as that one.

So insertion?

Yeah.

On 8 o'clock at night, you can't.

I have no problem.

Wow.

I have no problem.

Because you know what?

You don't have kids, and it's not your responsibility to police what other people's kids are seeing.

You know what you want to see as an adult.

Other people's jobs too.

Just like you would block out channels for your kids on cable that you don't want them to watch.

He's never done that.

Never did that though.

No.

Trust them.

Trust them.

I'm not going to be seeking that shit out of her.

I think like if a kid goes into a museum and sees David, you know, Michelangelo's David,

there's a 50-50 chance that

what the child is seeing, they have.

And I mean, just like if they go to see, what is it,

the one with the clamshell?

Venus.

Venus.

Yeah.

There's a 50-50 chance that they've seen breasts before.

Yeah, but they're not in the act of sexual act, though.

Or they're not mimicking a sexual act.

But according to.

Titties unto themselves, okay.

Titties and a magic.

I think that's a standard.

I think you that is something you should expect to see in any good museum: the naked form.

According to the artist,

this was created when Poland was still under communist rule, and that a banana was seen as something luxurious for an average person.

So could you

go?

Could you also

have nothing to do with Felicia?

Reading that,

can you see that artwork in that light?

Can you see it from that angle that maybe it's someone who's actually enjoying a banana?

This is some pervasive.

Everybody knows what they're doing here.

Everybody knows what's going on.

Wink, wink, wink.

But this, I guess, spokesperson, Mr.

Mizeliuk, I guess this is the guy in the museum, says he was opposed to showing works that could irritate vulnerable young people.

Now, I don't know what that means exactly.

I know young people are irritated by everything that's going on.

You don't think that we're kind of like pushing youngsters to

before

an age-appropriate time?

I mean, on a personal level?

Absolutely.

I mean, your girlfriend, otherwise.

We keep pushing them to go younger, younger by

thrusting this in their face and making them aware of this.

Nice double entendre, bro.

I like it.

You're pushing them.

So you're pushing them towards what's wrong with that?

What they're going to do anyway.

You're losing the childhood, though.

You're losing it quicker than you probably should.

Why can't that be incorporated into childhood?

What part of your childhood had that, though?

I found magazines and stuff when I was a kid.

Teenager, though.

I'm talking about...

No, no, no, not teenagers.

How old were you when you saw something like that?

Pretty early on.

Yeah.

Yeah, way early.

Well, how old are you?

I don't like magazines.

How old are you talking about?

Like I said, the kindergarten or third graders.

It's a third grade to go into a museum.

I don't even think that's a a thing.

You didn't go into class.

Well, maybe you should have gone to the museum when you're in class.

You have to have children's museums.

You know, there's a fucking

labeled children's museums.

And you know that these artists want to get that stuff in there, too, though.

You know that.

You know they're pushing.

They're fighting to get that work in all

these artists.

And the scientists.

I don't think so, man.

You don't think that they don't try to get the more subversive

pieces of artwork into a children?

Do artists try to get their stuff into a museum, or do museums try to get artists' stuff in?

What?

Like are artists soliciting museums?

You know what you're talking about.

Are artists soliciting museums?

You don't sound like you're back in museums.

It sounds like a question rather than

agreement.

What were you going to say?

I said, do artists solicit museums or do museums solicit artists?

I think at this day and age, an artist is

knowingly sticking their eye being like, if you don't put my work in this museum, I'm going to make life hell for you.

I'm going to go online, and I'm going to shame you for not putting my perverted.

500 people eat bananas on your street.

That's just what do you know, worse stuff than that.

I'm talking about worse stuff.

And you know, there's way worse than that out there that tries to pass as art.

We were on it for seven years.

Called comic book men.

I'm still going strong.

Godspeed.

I believe that that stuff should be available, but it should be

not easily strolled in on by this article isn't really saying what the age is that of, like, I don't know how old these kids are that this guy is trying to protect.

But that's what it always comes as that.

It's always like, we're just trying to protect children.

Someone please take the children.

That's awful.

That's awesome.

No, because they use noble ways.

They use it to fucking restrict rights.

You know,

they use it to censor shit.

Yeah.

We can't have kids looking at this.

No.

It's puritanical people who are like, I can't handle this.

In Poland.

That or dirty.

Who knows what's going on in Poland?

They're afraid that they're going to have to explain things to their own children, I think, is sometimes the big problem.

Right.

We don't want to have to explain that.

Why can't I just go out on my vacation and not see something like that?

You think I want to take the time now?

All of a sudden, now I've got to talk about it.

I've got a temple on your vacation.

Right.

And there was a picture of Satan inside.

You saw a flexible titanium.

They thrust it in my face for $12 a person.

Right, but there's nothing in that museum that would, that would.

Poor children were looking up to Satan.

Right, but they're looking up to him.

Yeah, at least there was no bananas involved.

Right, so if there were bananas,

were there any warnings in the satanic temple?

Yes,

where you may see some things that challenge you.

But to me, Walter.

Which I'm agree with.

You should have that warning up there.

It comes down to, like, what...

What is the role of art?

What is the role of museums?

And what is the role of the government?

And

like, I guess it's whatever your answer to those questions are is where you fall on the banana issue because

art,

I don't expect, I don't like most art.

You don't like most art?

Are museums the most boring fucking places to go?

History museums are awesome.

History museums are okay.

Art meets when I look at it.

I'm like, whatever people are seeing, they're standing there looking at it, tilting their head and shit.

And I'm like, I don't see it.

Whatever it is, I don't see it.

I like when they have like those kinetic sculptures.

Those are cool, like where things are moving around.

You're thinking of Disney.

What's the teacups?

Well, I went to the Louvre.

Yeah.

And it is fascinating to see the level of skill on display.

Yeah.

Like, you're looking at shit that if you gave me a thousand years, I couldn't do.

So I can't say that I go and I'm like, oh, fuck this.

This is boring.

But at the same time, I don't like all of it.

Is that the series of pictures?

Is that it?

I can't find the picture.

She looks annoying.

It's from a video.

That's a fucking...

Mine was from a nice size banana.

But I don't want

what I'm going to be able to do.

The government already decides way too much for you.

And you're right.

If you don't watch your kid in first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth grade scene like somebody simulating fellatio, completely agree with you.

I think you're right about that.

And you should have that right.

Like, just like people shouldn't be teaching shit in public schools about gender shit.

It's like, leave it to the parents.

The school, the state does not, and that, not the school, but the state does not need to step in and start parenting parenting your children and telling you, okay, here's what they need to know.

Don't you see enough

fellatio in your

money?

That you need to see it on museum walls?

I don't need to see it at all.

What I need is not to have the government decide what is appropriate for me to see and not see.

That's what I need.

Under the guise of like, but think about the children.

Yeah, it's not.

So the argument could be made, I guess, that

they post something, like there may be risque things here.

Like the beat of curtain at the video store.

Sure.

Yeah.

Sure.

I'm okay with that.

As long as there's something to signify you're stepping off the path and going into.

But doesn't that also put that stigma on the artwork that?

Oh, what's the matter?

Art can't handle stigma now.

If it's truly art, it could shatter stigmas.

But art means different things to different people.

Your precious

shatter all stigmas.

We're all talking at the same time with each other.

I've never seen anything like it.

Kiddo's trying to explain it while it's just like undermining it word by word.

I agree, though.

How old is Alicia?

16.

16.

You want to walk into a museum and not have to like have a conversation about why this girl is sucking on a banana.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a sign outside that says like, hey,

bananas ahead.

The infamous banana artwork that's coming up.

There's a little door that

you can exit here before the banana display.

Right.

They have that at Space Mountain.

You want to go through the little thing, but you don't want to go on the ride.

Yep.

It's just like Space Mountain, except for bananas and mouths.

I don't think it's art either.

I look at shit that people are like, oh, it's art.

I'm like, if you fucking say so, I don't know.

Dude, I tell you, man,

I've, because you know, as I'm trying to get better at photography and get more into it, I bought so many photography books and stuff like that.

And I look at it and I'm like, get the fuck out of here.

It's a picture of a car under a lamppost.

Like, why is this?

And this has led me to believe that most art, if not all art, pretentious, is a fucking scam.

All of it.

I agree.

Yeah.

I agree.

That doesn't mean the skill doesn't go into it.

He told us in New Orleans that some of that shit's a scam.

Remember?

He didn't even simply was like, this is fucking, most of it is a scam.

But it's like, that doesn't mean that there's not skill going into it, but like, you look at it and you're like, what the fuck?

What are they talking about?

It's a picture of a house.

Yeah, and they sold it for 500 grand or something.

Just like, get the fuck out of here.

Because you get enough pretentious douchebags to agree something is beyond the understanding of mere mortals who are like bananas, you know, like that

they're an elevated group.

They fucking have figured it out.

We have not.

They get it.

We don't.

This fucking broad with a bananas is fucking worth 500 grand.

yeah the same thing every fucking eighth ninth grade girl does in a lunchroom fucking around with her friends you know what i wish we could do i wish we could take pictures of us eating bananas and put that up somewhere we got really well hey we'll have a gallery that's the only picture it's just us eating bananas the four of us yeah like four frames and it's the four of us eating bananas that's the only picture people can come in and look at would you be into that walt i don't i think

i think i'd opt out of that but she's not blowing the banana in all of of them.

Some, she's just holding them.

Right.

So you don't want to just hold the banana?

Yeah, you'd be the whole banana.

I think it would be pretty hypocritical of me now to put myself up on the wall.

What if you hold it

on the bottom and put it in my mouth?

I don't see what point I'd be making, though, now if I'm partaking in this, though.

If you want to be an artist or not, I guess.

We're artists.

We don't know about it.

Is the subject the art?

I think your point would be, the point would be like, this is bullshit.

It's not art.

You people are are getting all worked up over this.

We just did the same thing.

Well, did you ever hear the story about

somebody ripped a urinal

out of the museum and plopped it down on a slab, on a concrete slab, and then all these pretentious people came in and were like, look at that.

That represents this.

And that represents society.

And

all the people who get urinated on.

And they can't rise out of the gutter.

And it's like, all the marginalized.

That's right.

And then somebody came in and just was like, oh, no, no, we're just moving that.

We're just replacing that.

They just put it there for a second.

Right.

That's what you're dealing with.

That's art.

That's not art.

That's just

an insight.

This is along the same lines.

Payless did something not too long ago.

They invited all these influencers to a special gallery showing

of the new line, but didn't say they were payless.

They said they were these high-end fucking shoes and all this other shit.

And all the fucking influencers, all the people that, you know, we got to listen to because they know better for some fucking reason,

were like, oh, these are great.

Oh, I'd wear these and all this other bullshit.

And they're like, yeah, it's from Payless, motherfucker.

But it's like they just want to exude this fucking air of like, we have it figured out.

And if you follow us, we'll help you figure it out.

You probably spend about 90% of your life in underwear, so don't you think you owe it to yourself to make sure you're wearing the softest undies in town?

That's why we only wear me undies.

I don't know, maybe your self-esteem is kind of low, so you don't think you owe it to yourself, but you do.

Why are they the softest?

Because they use the coveted micro-model fabric, which is a full three times softer.

They should have made that one of the Ten Commandments.

It should be an eleventh commandment.

Thou shalt not covet micro-model.

Thou shalt just buy meundies and wear meundies.

Spend money on meundies.

Not only will you, LeBron Brownlock, and read that shit, men can now try the new boxer briefs with Fly, which is the same great cut as the boxer brief, but now with an added option for guys who prefer to go over the gate.

No, it's through the gate versus over the fence.

Miyandi's is also the go-to for the softest loungewear on the planet.

Hang out in their super comfy lounge pants and onesies?

Yes, Miandis make onesies, and they're incredible.

I'm not sure, I don't see any references or anything, but

Miandy's is saying they're incredible.

Come on, why would we not believe them?

Meandy's has a great offer for the Telmeve Dave listeners for any first-time purchasers.

You don't even want to know.

I look so good.

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

By the way, that's everybody.

That's everyone, man.

Everyone.

No one has it figured out.

Go on fucking Twitter.

That's every.

That's me.

I had a fucking photo show four weeks ago.

And I was like, here you go.

This is fucking what I see in the world.

No banana pictures, Walt, by the way.

I know you weren't there, but I'm not sure.

But I'm curious, what do you look for in a subject when you're taking photos?

What is it that you want to

they're through a window and they're unaware?

Yeah, they mostly

a lot of my photography is illegal.

Yeah, uh, I

check your loss, it's not my process, Walt, is I don't go out looking for things.

I just, if I see something, then I'm like, oh, that'd be pretty cool.

And what do you do when you try to frame that picture and you try to like, you know, block it out or do what are you looking to

like?

You say you read these books on photography, and you know, like, how does one take a better picture well books that i've

well i think it's a process for me with photography was like well let me see what famous photographers successful photographers do so i got a maplethorpe book yeah so then i was like looking at them and i was like well none of these really seem all that fucking great or like they've nailed anything that I couldn't nail, which is a good feeling.

And then

the books that I've read, that I've read on how to take photos have been technical side of it, not

subjective side of it.

Like, you know,

what it takes to use a camera correctly.

Like F-stops and

the technical aspects of it.

Do you have a certain photographer that you look to like you like their style, and you see a certain person that you're like, you know, this guy, this guy, I would like to take pictures like this guy takes pictures.

Yeah, but he's unknown for the most part, and he's not, all he does is set up a camera and take pictures.

He doesn't get fancy with it.

It's just like, shh, ton.

Pictures of what usually is.

New York City.

New York City.

Is it more or less upsetting if you walk into a museum?

It's not the bananas, but it's kind of a banana.

Robert Maplethorpe photograph.

Look at that goddamn.

All right.

Look at that.

Damn.

Look at that hot hand.

Look at that juicy hot.

Ooh, is it hot in voice?

Like, that's the heel of modern art.

That's hanging at the moment.

That's tough.

But I think you should.

I mean, if you're going to see statues, though, like that though i think you're i think there's an understanding you are going to see the human form nude in a art museum i just think that you'll be

if you don't expect to see that then you're you're an idiot then because that's a lot of what art is is the nude form right

since the beginning of time right it is a large segment of it that's that yeah of course so i don't i'm not saying that the no nude photos should i mean i'm saying palatio simul simulation it should be like guys come on like you could at least give us us a heads up.

So you're saying is like on the Egyptian walls, besides iPads and dinosaurs and stuff, you see like Fallatio commonly?

No, no, no.

That's prehistoric art.

And now I could admire that because that's somebody who wasn't doing it just to get fucking likes on Instagram or try to get kicked out of a

yeah, that's somebody who was doing it truly for altruistic means though back then when they did stuff like that even if they did even if they did fellatio i'd be more apt to appreciate that more than a modern day version of it you're old school

old school

because they were probably they were doing it for different reasons back then so like i don't think so i think there's one reason to get a blowjob no no no i'm talking about no i'm talking about the artist represent like who makes that their

he's like hey this happened earlier today because they're always telling stories and cave paintings right he's like when i had a fucking blow job and then i've killed a t-rex by a fucking woolly mammoth yeah killed a T-Rex whole fucking me and my whole campsite

and then we got blowjobs afterwards yes we work we brought home a cave bear

cave woman cooked it

and they're like you look tired

you deserve this yeah let's

we always use a euphemism we're like let's go to the museum she's gonna do it

yeah see i get it i get what you're saying i just don't like the government stepping in and being like it should be it should be well announced.

Here's what you're going to see.

And it's up to you.

It's up to you.

Guess what, fucking government, whoever the fuck you are, I can make those decisions by myself, for myself, and for my kids.

I don't need you to step in and be like, oh, it might irritate vulnerable.

What does it even fucking mean?

Well, isn't it ironic in that the government supports and sometimes sponsors some of these artists themselves?

Yeah, probably.

Only when they're putting a crucifix in urine.

Then it's then the government's okay with that.

Yeah, right.

They'll pay for that.

Or nipple your banana.

I think people who get upset at that, I look at them like, why the fuck do you care?

What does it matter with you?

Why do you care about that?

What, the crucifix in urine?

Yeah.

Why do you care about that?

Why do you all care so much?

Because it's a double standard.

You think that's why people?

It's the double standard.

You're not going to see Muhammad in there.

Never.

Never, never.

I mean, they print him in a magazine and then they.

But all that means to me is like, so you're getting upset because there's a double standard?

Like, what do you care?

To me, I'm not upset, I don't care at all.

I think they should all

double standard, like, okay, but that's I see what you're saying, you're like, because it's the same way.

It's like, well, you could do that with this, but you can't do it with that.

I mean, that's

guess what?

That's the fucking white either art lives.

Art has no limits or it has limits.

Can't do it with a white guy.

You can do it with this.

Can't do it with a white guy.

So lately.

We know.

We know how to.

I actually read an interview.

What did you say?

Art either has no limits or it has limits.

Yeah.

Like, you know what I consider art?

I have a fucking original Kurt Swan drawing of

man.

It's from an issue where you walk, where he goes back in time and he's walking in an old West town.

And I'm like, to me, that's way more valuable.

It's pop art.

That's fucking BQ art.

I love that shit.

That's one frame of my house.

That's Kurt Swan.

But like, I've been in the room with Warhols and I've looked at it.

Do you own a Warhol?

No, fuck no.

But I've been in the room with him.

And I've looked at him and been like, I don't know.

I could do that.

I could do what he did.

I can't do what Gurt Spawn did.

So I'm just like, I know what means more to me.

After we talked last time, I went home and because we've been talking about Race with the Devil and I have the frame Race with the Devil poster on my wall.

I would rather have that.

That was 70 bucks.

I'd rather have that than a Warhol.

But isn't Q any of that shit?

Wouldn't you say Q is our most snootiest friend?

Me?

Yeah, because you have art.

You have real art because you buy art.

Oh,

you haven't seen his plate.

The crystal chandeliers.

Dude,

I dare you.

Dude, it looks like a sales room.

There's so many chandeliers on the ceiling, crystal everywhere.

It's like light refracting.

I don't know, like, you get blinded.

All right, fine.

Let me explain something to you, Walt.

Here's what I have in my place.

The chandelier when you walk in is a chandelier that was in my parents' house when I was growing up.

It was bought in like Sears in 1970.

All right?

We didn't even have electricity.

And then the chandelier in the fucking living room looks like the craft that Superman was shot to earth in in the fucking original thing in the Donner that is the reason I bought it not because it was fucking fancy and it wasn't even that expensive I walked and I was like holy fuck that looks like Superman's ship and I need a chandelier in that room right yeah that was the only room that didn't have a chandelier

technically the other one's a foyer

but you're getting defense

because I've been hearing this from him in Troy for fucking months now you invite people over to your house to have a lovely evening what's that up there

they just fucking make funny Soupman aesthetic.

I can promise if you invite me over, I won't mention your chandelier at all.

Yeah,

I can guarantee if I invite you over, you won't show up.

But here.

I've been hoffer a month.

But you buy art now.

You dabble in art, and you buy art for investment.

No, I don't.

You told me you did in New Orleans.

What are you talking about?

You told me that you look up your art to see if it's gone up in value.

Oh, one piece that's based on fucking Universal Monsters that I bought seven years ago.

But you looked it up, though.

So you're

up.

But you didn't.

Right.

But you are potentially making purchases of art that you hope gain

value, right?

I did one thing because I liked it and I wanted to see it.

Why can't you just admit it?

I mean, that's okay, right?

That's a curator, bro.

But it's not true.

You're talking about 10 minutes.

He's trying to lead you in so you'll be like you snooty motherfucker.

A curator.

Spot fan suddenly like it made nothing.

Why are you so unwilling to say that you buy art

for reasons like, you know, that for even investment, though?

Like,

other than the aesthetic, the way they look.

I bought that because it was Frankenstein and the invisible monster and the fly.

Invisible man.

The invisible man, the fly.

And it was like, and that was it.

And then we were in New Orleans.

I was like, oh, this is where I bought that.

By the way, it's a scam because

all right.

Well, I assume that you're looking at all your, you take stock in all your art and you look it up from time to time.

So you don't, on your insurance, you don't put down the value of your paintings?

Really?

No, no.

Really?

Wow.

How come?

Because I don't have anything that's worth money.

All right.

All right.

All right.

And he knows that because he looks it up all the time.

I know that because I bought it.

It's still not worth insurance.

Here's a chandelier that he's saying I'm so fucking fancy for.

Oh, that's not even a chandelier.

It literally looks like Superman's fucking crystal shift is hanging from the ceiling.

How many birds crack into that glasses you have to put those X's up?

No, quite a bit.

That's when the house was.

Yeah,

that just looks like a fancy light to me.

Yeah.

That's one.

There's a whole bunch.

He's lying.

He's lying.

It's not one.

But I thought it was like, I was actually proud of you, though.

I thought you were doing things that like not like...

You were not proud of me.

No.

Like, you know,

I reject this faces.

You were beaming.

Things that, like, you know, we never thought we would ever get to do, like, buy art for investment.

No, I don't do that.

I don't, I don't.

The shit I like is not worth money, and I wouldn't trust myself to buy stuff.

That Kurt Swan piece, I bet you're worth some money.

I bet you you could go on eBay and get Kurt Swan for like 200 bucks.

Original of a Kurt Swan?

No way.

The man's dead.

And a lot of that artwork didn't last because that 60s, 70s, 80s when he was prolific.

God, he was good, wasn't he?

Well, I mean, he was this.

I mean, he's the Superman artist, man.

Yeah.

He's synonymous with Superman.

He paid for 500 bucks.

So both you and Bry own homes.

So do you have any artwork that is valid?

I have artwork that my wife picked out, you know, online.

Like, you know, I like Bed Bath.

I'm so tired of the bananas.

Bed Bath and Beyond.

Get away from them.

Bed Bath and Beyond.

You know, it's like, it's like pictures of abstract flowers.

But it's something that's mainstream, like it's a lot of people.

It's mainstream, yeah.

Like, I don't have, and I'm not like.

You got the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, that kind of thing.

No, nothing like nothing like that.

Nothing like

that.

That's a good picture.

But I wouldn't even know to walk in a gallery.

I think Quick.

Q walks.

Like, he's got a foot in blue collar and white collar.

Apparently,

he's got a heel in blue collar.

Not a foot.

Maybe a heel.

He's almost all the way through the door.

Oh, Lord.

Hey.

There's nothing wrong with that, though.

Do you know?

Champagne-tasting caviar dreams.

That's true, I would say.

Do I have any art?

Yeah.

Hey, I have an original Chris Ledondo.

Okay.

Is this one of his new ones where he's bashing Bono?

No.

Do you think I should get a percentage of that, though?

Why?

Chris Ledondo is taking pictures of Bono and putting an X through them and then just like writing something and selling it for money.

Why would you get a piece of that, though?

Because if I hadn't called him out for complaining about Bono, it would never become a thing.

No, I don't want to.

I think that's reaching that you feel that you deserve to

also

profit from that.

I mean,

he had the idea to

who's buying that, though?

Four people he sold them.

Oh, four people.

Four different people he said sold them.

I have the same question.

I'm like, wow.

If people have this kind of money, why have we not figured out a way to take it from them?

Why is Chris Lickon figuring it out?

Why are we not crossing off pictures of Bono all day?

There's a lot of current.

Get on that cop here.

Yeah.

It starts at about $150 and goes up.

But I guess the real

key pieces where Superman's front and center.

Yeah, those are about $500.

Yeah, because you could probably find a million pages.

The guy drew literally thousands and thousands of pages, but a lot of them have like Perry White or Lois.

Yeah, yeah, there's $150 Jimmy Olson here.

Yeah.

Did you see Avengers Q?

I fucking saw it twice already.

Loved it.

You didn't like it?

I liked it.

I liked it, but I don't know if I loved it.

Really?

I'm not sure yet.

I'm on the fence.

I like,

you ever come across that in real life where you're like, I'm not sure

if I love this or I've just really have a deep affection for it.

Um, I think what they pulled off was fucking spectacular.

Yeah, like, and I, and I,

the Thor fucking shit was awesome.

So, yeah, that's the part I didn't like.

Really?

Yeah, I felt that that was like,

I didn't need, I don't know, yeah, I'm like, this is kind of like the big Lebowski kind of deal.

Yeah, but I mean, that's the visual front of it, but the fact that he was that fucking broken and upset.

But again, he was more like a joke, though.

Like, you know,

this is the last time we're going to see Thor, and this is how we're going to see him.

This isn't the last time we're going to see Thor.

Oh, really?

I thought they were all done with the big three.

I mean, he went off.

Well, I don't want to ruin the end.

I don't think it's the last time we saw him.

But he...

No, I see what you mean.

But

more than that, for me, I was struck by...

how I felt bad for him the whole movie.

I was like, I felt really bad for him.

And then when he got to have that conversation with her,

I was really happy for him.

Like, I don't know.

I thought

they nailed a lot of things.

Yeah, I think

that's what's good about the movie, you know, is that there's different things for different people.

But to me,

the way they handle Thor was my least favorite

handling of all the characters.

You can't do that to anybody else, though, it feels like.

You can only do that to Thor.

Well, but he's the only one.

You're not going to do that to Black Widow.

But she doesn't have a reason to be that upset, right?

Well, why not?

I mean, he failed.

She failed.

They all failed.

Yeah, but he's a god.

He's a 1,500-year-old god.

And he fucked up again and again and again.

And I've seen him running around for six movies now being that Thor.

Like, I didn't mind

seeing him like that.

I was like, wow, I felt really bad for him.

I was just hoping that, you know, for me, it just felt like there was just needed to be, like, it felt like every time they felt like it was going to get started and we're getting going.

Okay, we're going now.

We're rolling.

Yeah.

Then it would kind of like come to a stop and some other things would happen before, you know, like the lead up to figuring everything out.

Sure.

That to me was like it took a long time to get there, man.

Yeah,

I understand that too.

I do understand that too.

But I really, despite all that, I enjoyed it.

Yeah, the end was awesome.

The uh, what did you think of the fucking girl power moment that they got?

It's uh

come on.

Yeah, it's so like pretty who was the girl power,

dude.

At one point, fucking Captain Marvel.

Who, by the way, is so powerful.

That's a lady, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

She is,

I mean, arguably the most powerful superhero in that universe, I guess.

Yeah, I would think so.

And she has to get from point A to point B, which isn't even that far.

It's like a football field.

And

she...

Peter Parker hands her the infinity gauntlet and goes, but how are you going to get it over there?

And then one by one, all the women from the Marvel movies start

this dramatic pose.

And they're like, she won't be doing it alone.

And then it's just like, ba-ba, women.

And then it shows the women like...

Well, now I want to see it.

That's fucking crazy.

Because that sounds awesome.

It was nuts.

But then you're like, does she need the help?

Does she just take down an entire spaceship on her own?

She definitely does.

Does she need the wasp to come in and fly around in circles?

Dude, it was so bandering.

It was so good.

The theater audibly went, oh, like, it was fucking crazy.

I thought fucking Stacey's eyes were going to roll out of her head.

She's fucking rolling them so hard.

If you're on the side that was a voice demanding that for the last like 15 years.

I'm not satisfied with that.

But do you not feel like it's not pandering now?

And do you feel like...

No, that's what I mean.

But are you happy then if you're on that side?

Because it feels like it's just put in just to sate you.

I agree.

I would not be satisfied.

To me, I'm like...

It's so ham-handed in that.

I'm saying it feels...

It definitely was put in.

There's no other reason to do it.

There's no other reason to do it than to try to satisfy people.

But some of the characters that they put in that fucking heroic pose were not even close to her when it happened.

Like, her watch was in a van trying to fix the timers.

And then suddenly she shows up just to fucking put her hands on her hip next to Captain Marvel.

I'm like, what is that?

They have a little sign went up.

I also hear the gay character wasn't gay enough.

Needed to be gayer.

Which character?

No, that's not true.

That's what I'm reading.

No, that's not true.

That's what I'm reading.

Not gay enough.

No, I would just.

Nice try, Marvel.

He talked about going on a gay.

You know what?

That would be an example of me not even noticing.

I didn't notice until after I saw the article later on that there were some people upset with that.

Not in, like Bryce says, not enough

representation.

He was.

I didn't realize he was talking.

I thought he was talking about his dad.

Yeah, he was on a date.

I thought he was talking about his dad, and when they said we couldn't, I'm a spoiler, but he says, I missed the Mets, right?

That's what he said.

Well, yeah, he was like, well, he said that at the end.

I thought he was talking about his dad because

they can't talk about baseball anymore.

No, he said I finally went on a date.

Oh, I didn't realize he was talking that he wanted that he meant until I saw the article that people were not happy.

I didn't see an article that people I didn't know people weren't happy.

I didn't well, I don't again.

How many people are unhappy?

Probably not many.

You know who was unhappy, though, and this actually I liked.

I guess some guy in Hong Kong came out and he was saying some spoilers and shit, and people beat the crew.

Beat the shit out of him.

I heard about this.

That's funny, man.

That's pretty good.

Is that a reason to beat someone up, though?

It definitely isn't, but it's funny that it happened.

Some people deserve a punch, dude.

You're online to go see Avengers and some guy starts screaming at that guy.

It deserves to be how badly beaten.

I mean, he deserves a shot across the face, I think.

He suffered a bit of a broken bones.

I don't know if he deserves it, but I understand.

It says he got

blooded up.

Yeah,

that's a dickhead.

That's a total asshole.

Like,

rationally and reasonably, no, you shouldn't beat him up.

Would I beat him up?

No.

Would I care if somebody else beat him up?

No.

Good.

I still get to watch him get his ass kicked, and I don't risk any legal problems.

What if you had spent, like, some people

read they were spending $25,000 for a ticket?

Well, they're an asshole.

What?

Yeah.

Who did that?

There were people like pre-buying tickets for like $25,000.

They got tickets day of

$50 and went on a matinee.

I don't know.

That's what I was reading online.

But I mean, like, if you had paid $200 to see the movie and someone spoiled it for you out in the line,

would you think that would be worth a

drubbing?

I don't think this.

I want to meet the person who put it.

Well, they put them up on eBay.

I don't know that they sold.

Oh, I see.

Now, that's what it's saying here.

I maintain I haven't seen this level

of excitement

and hoopla

since 80 for Empire.

I maintain.

You won the Phantom Menace because Phantom Menace is...

Yeah, Phantom Menace had some hoopla, too.

You're right.

Okay, maybe.

Okay, yeah.

I think I haven't seen it since in Phantom Menace, probably.

That's what I agree.

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

I haven't seen anything like that level of

taking the world by

this in the history of film.

I don't think there's been anything like this.

No, I agree with you wholeheartedly, and it's nice to see.

But I maintain in the world we live in today, though, it's too fleeting.

Like it just goes away too fast.

It doesn't stay embedded in our fabric, though.

Well, that's because there's a fucking Spider-Man movie coming out next month.

How much of a letdown is that Spider-Man movie going to be after that?

I don't know how the fuck they're going to explain away like what they did in this movie, the five-year thing.

Yeah.

I'm like, how are they going to explain that?

I think the internet's caused that.

Like, when I watch a show and I have a question about it, I don't go to somebody and talk about it.

I can go online and find other people breaking down the scene better than I can.

And I think that that's better than you.

Yeah.

No way.

No fucking way.

I've heard you tell a story about boots at Walmart Walmart that is fucking riveting.

$5.

No, I mean, I like sometimes I watch something and it's like, I don't understand it because it's

something.

You don't understand something.

Yes.

I go, wow, you're really bearing yourself.

You're bearing your soul here tonight.

But I think we, you know, it's.

You can heat up your tea for 20 seconds.

We all come together and we can get these questions answered.

And that's what you're doing.

So that's why it becomes, not the joy, but like, I just feel like...

The mystery.

We move on too quickly.

Like,

it becomes like

the extraordinary becomes commonplace if we're only for a short period of time does it does it stay in the public consciousness where i felt it stayed a lot longer and was more um impactful

well that now before today i don't know why that is i mean now where you is because of my way of looking at it maybe i think it just comes so quickly now yeah they're pumping it

down three times a year yeah

i wish it i wish it didn't like fade television plus new Game of Thrones.

Yeah, I don't watch Game of Thrones, but apparently that also was causing a lot of.

Yeah, people are not happy.

What did Q?

He gave me a spoiler.

I haven't watched it yet.

But like, that is.

I deserved it.

I deserved it.

I think that I haven't seen anything like that.

Thirsty?

Well, this looks like my.

Sopranos, maybe, since the Sopranos finale?

Wait, what's the question on the table?

Have we seen the kind of level of world interest, it seemed like like where like it's actually newsworthy game of thrones what happened i didn't watch it i don't think it's coming about it but i just saw it everywhere and i don't know if i've seen it the world be so interested in something television wise since maybe since i guess the walking i think i think the sopranos finale was the soprano finale was a lot of people thought something was wrong

Like they thought HBO, like the feed got cut because of the way it ended.

Right, but they thought that for 10 seconds and then they didn't think that anymore.

No, no, I think

they're dumb.

Yeah.

Then they're dumb.

If they couldn't figure it out,

they didn't like the ending.

I think people are like, I can't believe it.

That's I can't believe I spent six years, whatever, with these characters, and now I don't know exactly what happened.

But Journey was playing.

There's never going to be anything satisfying, right?

How many seasons?

Well, I'm sorry.

No, I'm going to say if he dies, you're like, fuck, I liked him.

If he goes to jail, you're like, all right, it's open-ended.

You don't like it.

I know they should.

He gets away.

How many seasons of Game of Thrones?

Seven or eight.

I thought this was a seven.

I think this is eight.

Hold on.

I thought this was eight.

Now, how is it different than like Lord of the Rings or any other like D and D bullshit?

A lot of tits.

Ooh, it's a lot of tits.

Is that really the only difference?

It's like, it's not a hopeful show.

Season.

Yeah, like he, George R.R.

Martin, will just outright kill a character that everybody likes.

It's a manipulative show in a way that Lord of the Rings isn't.

Did you like Lord of the Rings?

It's also very violent.

I like the movies.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or Game of Thrones is better.

Wow.

Wow, that hedge right there makes me go.

I'm not.

I don't know if Game of Thrones is better.

I probably like

Lord of the Rings better than Lord of the Rings.

Yeah.

So for the scope of those movies, though, I'm just technically what they pulled off with those movies is incredible.

I think there's a difference, though, in that Lord of the Rings was well established and was finished when they started making the movies.

Game of Thrones is not finished, and now the season they're writing, they're kind of making stuff up.

I thought they'd have been making stuff up for a while, though.

They've been adding stuff in characters, melding characters.

Like, what's her name?

Liv Tyler was never really, she was mentioned for like one scene in the original Lord of the Rings books, but they expanded on her character to make her like a love interest.

I know I was talking about Game of Thrones.

Oh, yeah, Game of Thrones.

He hasn't finished the last book, so this season was unwritten.

So their own writers are just throwing out ideas.

So that's what some people kind of.

The characters on Game of Thrones are way better than Lord of the Rings.

What would you give it a numerical number for all, as an encompassing number for all these seasons?

One to 10?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd give it pretty high.

7-8?

Yeah, okay.

I think you would agree.

Yeah.

There's some, like, there's one season, I can't remember which one, but there's a stretch where you're like, just, come on.

Like, I know it's all building to the battle, but can something happen?

Yeah.

And I like.

I like the books better than the show.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, it's pretty dark.

There's a lot of incest.

There's

tons of

tons of.

No, but I mean, it's interesting.

It's not hot, but it is like, what the fuck?

And when the guy gets his comeuppance, you're pretty excited by it.

Just fucking the brother.

Jamie?

No, wait.

No, not Jamie.

No, no, no, not him.

The brother who was to the Queen of Dragons.

Oh, that ass.

That dude who got the metal port on his head.

That was great.

Yeah, that dragon.

Yeah, that was great.

I thought you were about to put down Jamie Lannister, and I was like, now he's the man.

Did you hear the rumors about phase four from Marvel?

No, what?

Power Pack?

That'd be awesome.

I would watch that.

Are you kidding me?

A fucking Power Pack movie?

I would have to go see that.

Who's Power Pack?

It's Fantastic Course Kids.

It's the corniest fucking super teams ever.

Really?

So they have a robot named Hermie?

Oh, my God.

You're telling me you want to go see that?

That's what, like,

don't know if I could get up for that.

I don't know if I could get up to see a PowerPack boom.

Well, Super Suns is pretty popular right now.

Well, let me Super Suns.

I'm assuming that they would make it good.

Right.

I know.

It's a fantastic Ford Venture, though.

Right.

But I would fucking be there for a PowerPack movie.

Oh, this shit looks corny.

Would it be animated?

Nah, live anime.

These are rumors.

I don't know if they're real.

It would be fucking better than Captain Marvel.

I don't know if you saw that.

Was Captain Marvel not good?

The Eternals is also a rumor.

Yeah, like whatever.

It was almost like if you go back and watch Iron Man 1 now, you're like, oh, wow, it's good, but it's kind of.

It's almost as forgettable as Iron Man 3.

See, I loved Iron Man 3.

We got different tastes.

I loved Iron Man 3.

I thought it was great.

Ben Kingsley, yeah, Ben Kingsley's good than that.

It was fine.

It's just like, she's not an interesting character, Captain Marvel.

You're just like, what is.

Is it because she's a a woman?

No, because

I fucking came all over that Wonder Woman movie.

I loved it.

Did you think, though, that I thought for sure that Captain Marvel would play a more pivotal role in the Avengers?

Well, I didn't think so because it was filmed before Crapt and Marvel was.

Like, those movies were filmed before Captain Marvel, so I didn't think they had a handle on the character.

Really?

Yeah, I would have bet the farm that they would have made her.

Because why give her a full movie, though, if you're not going to like it.

Because it's about hashtag time, Walt.

I don't know.

I just thought for sure

and I was looking forward to seeing her do something

monumentous.

She went through that shit.

That was pretty funny.

I thought she was going to play a bigger role in bringing down Thanos.

Well, I guess you had to give it to the guys.

She's almost too powerful.

Like the original three original managers.

You got to let them see that.

Do you still captain Marvel?

Yeah.

What do you think?

I agree 100% with you on that one.

It was just like, yeah, there was really nothing there that made me go.

This was needed to be made.

Making scrulls good guys i was like what the fuck is this that was the thing that that was the thing about the only thing about captain marvel that pissed me off was this was scrulls of the bit shapeshifting bad guys and in captain marvel they were made into

sympathetic refugees that nobody would care about

and you were like they're fucking there's no parallel right they're scrulls and it was like you the movie was just like

they might as well put an applause sign above the fucking yeah above the screen like right guys scrulls they have kids they love them you know and nobody wants to help the scrulls out right rip a scrull's kid out of his arm oh my god they're only they're only ripped out so you're like oh my fucking god enough enough to scrull some bad guys

make them bad guys

you got it you got a checklist though man and you got to check every box if you're a fucking one of these movies that wants to make how much money the vendors make

two something like that like jeff was saying was like the third most highest grossing movie ever right so you need to check every one of those boxes to make sure you don't fucking know.

Do you?

Because it doesn't do any good.

People are like, what the fuck?

Like when they do put the diversity, the diversity on screen, people call it out.

They're like, this is bullshit.

This has nothing to do with diversity, though.

This has nothing to do with it.

It was a political statement that didn't even need to be made about villains that are bad guys.

Do you have to do that checklist?

Because it would be covered under spoilers.

Like, no one knows what's going to go on in the movie when they go in there.

And it made all this money before people knew what the movie was about.

You don't think there's a checklist that they fucking make sure that they hit?

There's some executive.

You're 100% right here.

What I'm saying is, do you think that would not just one?

Dude, you know how many things I've pitched?

I've pitched so many things and

100% of the notes are based around, well, what if you swap the lead to a female?

Or, well, you can't do this because it has a male rescuing a female.

You can't make that anymore.

I'm telling you, last year alone, I pitched three things and I gave up on them because it was like, well, all right, like that, remember that comic strip I used to have about the guy who finds out that his girlfriend's a superhero?

They were like, well, here's what you have to do.

You have to make it so that she's the co-lead and that he doesn't, she doesn't, he never saves her and blah, blah, blah.

And it's just like, but that's not.

But he was a schmuck.

He was a schmuck.

The whole fucking point was that he was a schmuck.

And you're just like, but that's the notes you get now.

That's all you get now is you can't do anything like that.

If I got to do shit on your own, unless you got to want to do something big, you got to fucking.

Well, I've taken the tact of like, well, I'm just not going to do it.

I just fucking, I got it.

I'm fine.

I'm good.

See, this reminds me of that commercial you were talking to me about today.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The Volk, was it Volkswagen?

Yeah.

Did you ever say about a Volkswagen?

But it's fucking fine.

Like, I really, I loved Wonder Woman.

I saw it in theaters twice.

Like, I was a fan of it.

I saw that twice too.

I did.

I liked Wonder Woman a lot.

And they managed to make that movie great without any of the fucking checklist shit going on.

Like, none of it.

But what I'm saying is, do you think Avengers would have made any less money if they had not followed every checklist on the checklist?

No, I don't think they would have made less money.

But you don't, but there's still a checklist, though.

I agree.

There's a checklist.

It's also about

they're playing chess with the Twitter.

They're going to be like, okay,

we're going to make sure this is covered.

This is covered.

This is covered.

This is covered.

So we don't have to hear about it.

But they're shooting this.

But

how far out are they shooting this that they cannot begin to predict what people are going to be upset about in a year?

You couldn't even know.

Oh, my God.

Everybody's pissed at Fat Thor.

You're mad at Fat Thor?

Oh, my God.

There's a backlash on Fat Thor.

He's got a dad body?

Because he's not a hottie?

Because

they said that his body, the fat, is being used as a joke in the movie.

Oh, you know, he.

It's really not.

Why am I explaining this to you?

You know.

Yeah, I know.

You're just like, oh, my God.

Doesn't he have fat news?

Or is that the news?

Oh, that's a segue into it.

Is that your new fat news?

No, no, it doesn't.

No.

Spoiler alert and got a bloody cue again.

No, this is.

We have to revisit someone.

Somebody died.

Who was fat?

Who was fat?

Oh, I noticed.

Yeah, I saw it again.

Remember our airline passenger who was demanding to wipe his ass?

Yeah, wipe his ass.

He died.

Turns out he died on vacation in Thailand.

Which is always going on vacation.

Thailand's a shithole, man.

The more you read about Thailand.

No, it is.

It is.

Really?

It's a sex tourism tourist.

Well, that part, obviously.

There's all kinds of women.

Don't they have elephants and rivers and fungi?

They got the animals.

They got some cool rivers and shit.

Political system's all fucked.

If you make fun of the princes of Thailand, you go to jail.

It's that kind of thing.

Let me just, before I continue this, see if IJ plays in Thailand.

Just fucking cross them off his list.

I initially.

Because I had to retract everything we said on India.

It's true, yeah.

I knew someone who died in Thailand.

They're on vacation, and they wanted something like $5,000 to release the body back to America.

You don't think other countries do that too?

Charge you $5,000 to release it?

You don't think other countries charge a fee to release the body?

This is just to release it, and

it wasn't even the transportation.

Like, I doubt the United States charges a fee, like, or you don't get the body back.

You don't think there's a fee involved?

Oh, yeah, there's a fee to get a body back to a different country, but they don't hold it hostage.

Like, you're making it sound.

That's what it was.

They had to pay $5,000.

Yeah.

And then they paid in a petition.

If I died in Thailand and somebody paid for my body to be shipped back, I was like, fuck them.

Let them deal with it.

I'm dead.

I don't care.

Let them deal with it.

Fucking Payola.

Fuck that.

No way.

No way.

Those idiots.

Yeah,

he died of an unspecified illness while on a beach vacation in Thailand.

Blue, blue, blue.

I mean, then it's just rehashing the story, which if you didn't hear,

he used a wheelchair and refused to leave the restroom on a plane until flight attendants complied with his request that they wipe his ass for him.

Finally, the head flight attendant put on three pairs of latex gloves and assisted him, and as he moaned for her to go deeper and clean him again.

He was also involved in another disturbance in May 2018 when he allegedly defecated in his underwear during a flight.

What a party this guy was.

Now, here's the fucking real insult to injury.

The airline, I guess, since he didn't fly back home, he's going to refund the cost to the man's family.

How do you have the balls after your relative was like,

go deeper?

Like, how do you have the balls to be like, we want that money?

We want this.

Because you're that guy's family.

You're that guy's family.

There's a reason that guys like that.

It's because all of you are like that.

You're all like that.

He's brought shame on your whole family, and you want a fucking $269 refund.

Yeah, but that's the thing about these guys.

They're like, what shame?

Yep.

They don't even get it.

Yeah.

What's shame?

Ooh, that should be on the crest of the Family Johnson seal.

What's shame?

What's shame?

Tell them, Steve Dave.
