#352: LEGO Babies

Treat everybody like Ice Hall Comics does.

That should be the new life.

Yeah, which means to bore them to death.

You want to keep going below the belt?

I'm like, I mean, go ahead, bud.

No, they do enough of that on each other.

Are you invited back next week, or are they going to have the cashier from Yestercades on again?

Tell him, Steve, Dave.

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

Q.

Hello.

You're looking good.

Thank you, pal.

Smells weird in here, though, doesn't it?

Does it smell weird to you?

I didn't catch that, but what do you think?

I got the stank of someone who slummed with ice cell comics since we saw him last.

I thought you're talking about our sore leak, because we actually have been dealing with a sore leak.

Have you?

Yeah.

I think we get him figured it out, though.

He just put a cork in his ass.

Six hours of the day, he's got his finger in a hole in the wall in the basement.

He's like the nasty fucking Dutch boy.

I think I would say the more heroic Dutch boy, he's putting his finger in a fucking feces.

Yeah, but it's a Dutch boy only.

It's in his own ass.

If it was like in your ass in Mike's ass again.

See, that's all we didn't.

Do you know what?

There was none of that on ISO Comics.

There was nobody fucking immediately going to like, you're fucking each other,

you're gay for each other, you're like making like bigoted homosexual references.

Oh, it's coming in.

Then I'm very disappointed in you if no one did that.

It is a different atmosphere on Iceland Comics.

It's like welcoming.

It's like they're excited to talk to you, even though they've talked to you every day.

They still are

super excited to sit there and talk to you at a podcast table.

It's really like.

other professionals.

They're entertainers.

It was a different atmosphere.

It was like.

I mean, it wasn't a funny atmosphere.

It was different.

I don't know.

Does it always have to be about laughs?

Usually, I find that.

Not always, but I mean, when it's never about laughs, then that becomes a problem.

Was it about comics?

Did you talk comics?

Yeah, I did.

I talked comics.

I talked about Metro.

I talked about the comic that.

Metro's Mink's code name.

When we were talking about it, we didn't go.

None of that.

None of that.

You should have been on the Mike and Ming show because I listened to it the other day and they were calling me an asshole.

They were like, he used to be a fat asshole, now he's just an asshole.

Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah.

It's not always like that.

Maybe I sell comics as like the.

Wait.

That's the safe space.

I sell comics.

They're open for like 10 more minutes.

Yeah, I really wish we had closed that door, but okay.

Get up, man.

What was I talking about?

Oh, I'll talk because Blue Juice is putting out that,

like

you like we did with like you did with Metro.

They're doing something like that for this book I'm working on for Blue Juice at the New York Comic-Con.

Oh, okay.

And I didn't know, you know, I felt like I wanted to

get the word out there.

So, and I feel weird talking about it, like monopolizing Tome Steve Dave Time talking about a project that I'm only involved with.

But I felt like on a comic book podcast, I could talk in depth about it.

And so I went on and I saw comics.

And like I said,

it's an atmosphere that I haven't been a part of in a while.

Yeah?

You're going to be going back?

Where do they record it?

Right here.

Oh, yeah.

Right here.

So you could be on every episode if you want.

I could be.

I could be.

What a thrill that would be.

I mean, I got nothing bad to say.

Those guys, it literally was, it blew my mind that they were talking to me as if

they didn't know me as being like this surly, grouchy motherfucker.

Like, you had to just mock them for two months straight on TV.

When you put it that way.

But yeah, like I said,

it was such a warm reception.

It blew my mind.

I couldn't believe that they were

that excited to, you know, to somebody they see constantly.

I was, and I see Tom Mumm of Blue Juice in in his frantic efforts to let people know that you're going to be at New York Comic-Con.

It's like mistyping fucking tweets and shit.

It's like, don't prove read you, stupid.

But that fucking bummed me out because

it's like, Walt Flanagan will be at the Blue Juice booth all weekend, is what he said.

Every day.

Yeah.

I'm going to stay in New York.

Until you sell it.

You get a hotel room?

Yeah.

Whoa.

Yeah.

But here's the rub.

When Walt Walt said he was going to do it, I vowed that if he did it, I was like, I'll sit there with you.

So then you sit there all the weekend.

No hotel room.

I mean, but we know that we would never, I forgot you said that, but

we would never hold you to that proclamation.

You say a lot of things that, you know.

I'm trying to be better about that.

Nobody can believe.

Yeah, we always know you to be.

You're out of a long history of like, I'll do that, and then you never do it.

So I would never be be like, you have to do that.

This is, I mean,

Thursday, you're going to be there.

I don't know how many other days you plan to be there, but you know.

Well, it was zero until you

said you do that.

The first five minutes.

But, yeah, no,

I talked about that book.

I talked about Metro, how excited I am.

Two releases that I'm involved with come

2018.

And

did Mike and Ming talk about the releases they're involved with?

What releases would those be?

I don't know.

I'm telling you right now,

after my experience on ISO Comics,

their latest episode, I am making,

if there's going to be potty talk about ISO Comics, it's only going to come from one person at this table.

You guys are right over here?

I thought he's going to fall over.

Stroking out.

That's okay.

How'd you say about it?

There's only going to be one person that's going to be doing the potty talk about I Saw Comics.

If there is the potty talk on I Saw Comics on Tell them, they've won your heart?

I mean, they won your

look like a real person.

They treated me as if I was like I was a real celebrity.

It was bizarre.

Yeah.

Yeah, I can't go.

I can't engage in nowing.

That would be like t that'd be like tearing their hearts out and like urinating on their in their in their cavity, their chest cavities.

Now, are you invited back next week, or are they going to have the cashier from Yester K's on again?

You're not even going to get a laugh out of me now.

You're not even going to get a laugh out of me.

You want to keep going below the belt on Mike and Ming, go ahead.

No, they do enough of that on each other.

No laughs.

No laughs.

No laughs.

You're not going to bring me into

that arena,

that three-ring circle of depravity.

if you give me a laugh, I'll mention Blue Juice in your book on Monday when I do the Artie and Anthony show.

Oh, are you going on there?

Yeah.

Nice.

Artie Lang and Anthony Kumia, who used to be part of OpenShift.

Sure, yeah.

Anthony started his own network.

He's got a bunch of shows on there.

It's actually pretty big.

It's like a pretty,

I'm like, that's a good model to go by.

What's the model on that?

It's basically like Artie and Anthony sitting there

at a sort of like a desk,

like an angled desk, and they talk to each other.

They have guests in, but they do the video.

Like they do video, and

on the app, you can either listen to audio or you can watch the video.

If you know, you're like listening to it in your car or whatever.

It's pretty cool.

So, yeah.

Why is that?

Where is it?

It's in New York.

It's in New York.

Everything's in New York.

It is.

All the good stuff.

Is it?

Is it good?

Well, I'm sure there are.

Is it in New York?

But I mean, oh, man, everything, everybody puts this New York on a pedestal.

It drives me crazy.

I tried to get them to come down here.

They were resistant.

I don't know why.

So, yeah, I'll be doing that.

I'll be talking about comic book men and

one time.

Is it a live show?

Yes, it is.

I believe it's live.

It's 4:30 or 4 o'clock to 6.

4 4 o'clock.

I love Artie.

Oh, it's in the middle of the day, yeah?

Yeah.

At the end of the day, I should say.

At the middle of the day, yeah.

Yeah, I like Artie, too.

I like Anthony a lot, too.

He's a funny guy.

I don't think I've met him.

I think I met him in studio only, never.

Yeah.

You want to talk politically incorrect, too.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

They say a lot of stuff.

Like, pretty consistently.

Yeah.

You know.

Yeah, I would caution you to watch yourself.

Get caught up.

Oh, yeah.

Don't get caught up in the chat.

Oh, Oh, yeah.

You're the kind of guy that can get caught up real quick and

lose your

job.

Like

those guys have

a history of losing jobs, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Bald of Method, yeah.

Hardy too, remember?

Yeah.

I'm going to pre-write a statement disowning you as a friend and being like

just ready for release at a moment's notice.

We have to do a Blue Juice ad this week.

Oh,

that's going to get you very excited.

I I think we did.

Isn't that enough of the ad

to mention I was on ISL Comics?

I mean,

isn't that an ad enough?

Or do you really need to read the rest of it?

I don't know.

Did he send a copy?

I can't remember.

Yeah, he did.

Fuck, why are so many people...

I don't know.

Let me see.

I wrote some stuff down this week.

Yeah?

But I can't read my own handwriting sometimes.

Oh, I wanted to ask you guys about a tweet I sent because you're the two most woke guys that I know.

So I thought you would be a good gauge of

its acceptability?

Well, how you would take it if you read this, okay?

Because

people took it different ways.

All right.

So I wrote,

this is it.

Hey, guys, have you heard all the hubbub surrounding this take a knee situation?

Crazy, right?

Now.

That's it?

That's it.

Now

I was sitting there

watching Narcos.

Right.

And I was like, I wonder how.

It was kind of a social experiment.

I was like, I wonder how upset people will get on either side if I write what is basically a neutral statement.

Yeah.

So I worded it very carefully.

So I'm not on either side.

Right.

But oh man, people

got upset one way or the other.

Really?

Yeah.

It's strange.

And I'm like, is it because they're reading it in my voice?

And they're like, but it's not even a statement.

It's just,

hey, guys, have you heard all the hubbub surrounding this take-and-nee situation?

Crazy, right?

That's it.

That's it.

And what happened?

It worked.

You upset people.

People got upset on both sides.

Or people got like passionate and shit.

Well, I mean, I think it's...

But what does that say?

I think it says that there two sides have passion.

I mean, which is...

But about a neutral statement, though.

Oh,

because some people said to me, they're like, like, very sort of like sarcastically, like, oh, it's only about civil rights and blah, blah, blah, like that kind of shit.

As if I had made a statement like, this is bullshit.

Well, you take a niche.

Maybe hubbub, I think, was the word.

Hubbub.

Hubbub is offensive?

Well, I think it's marginalizing or.

Oh, don't say that.

Don't say marginalizing.

Hubbub makes it seem like it's not dismissive.

It's trivialized.

Marginalizing was wrong.

Trivialized the right.

Trivializes it.

Yeah.

I think hubbub using the phrase hubbub.

Well, there is a bunch of hubbub around it.

It's as far as I know.

Oh, I also read that the dude who started it never voted or even registered to vote in his life.

No, he said he wasn't going to vote.

He said he didn't want either.

I was going to say Colleen.

No,

no.

Never.

Even when Barack Obama ran.

Oh, really?

He's never registered anywhere.

He's not happy with the government, though.

Oh, I see why he wouldn't be.

I can see why things are unfair for him.

Because they're taking 50% of his fucking salary?

That could be it.

I want to go back to the bottom of the

knee on that shit at the end.

I thought it wasn't the government, though.

No, he was upset with the way that the.

But this started before Trump.

The system's

broken.

The entire system.

This started before Trump.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, so

he was even.

He's not happy with Barack Obama.

No, I don't think he's happy with anybody in office who's ever held office.

Right.

Yeah.

What's the solution?

Well, he doesn't have one.

Just taking it.

I mean, well, if you're going to

comment on it, though.

I'm not commenting.

Yes, you are.

I'm just saying there's a lot of hubbub.

Your tone of your voice is making a comment on it.

I'm just saying there's a lot of hubbub.

If you're going to talk about it, do you have a solution?

Do I?

If you're going to

solution isn't.

What's that?

Getting down on my bed knee.

I know that's not a solution.

I don't give a fuck if everyone on earth got down on one knee.

It's not going to change anything.

What will?

I don't know.

What are you trying to change?

How do you know?

What do you want to change, first of all?

What's the mission statement of this taking a knee thing?

Well, they're trying to bring awareness to

how

minorities are treated by the police.

They're trying to bring in

social injustices that are taking place on a daily basis.

Okay.

Well, thank God, because I hadn't heard about any of that before.

Could you just get your car and go right to Anthony Columbio's studio right now?

Because

you might want to ask if they need a third.

You know what?

And then

I'll go and then I'll just, because I know Iceland Comics needs a third.

Dude, in two weeks, you're not going to be the fucking celebrity anymore.

Why is that?

Because you're going to just talk about the same stuff.

You're going to be like, by the way, last week I was at Comic-Con.

Oh, man.

No, I haven't really, I'm just fucking around.

I haven't really paid much attention to the take-onything, which is why I don't really know what it's for.

I don't know.

It's exactly what it's for, though.

It's just the treatment.

The treatment of black people by police.

And minorities.

Minorities.

Yeah.

You know, how the poor are railroaded in America.

In what way?

Just in the way that there's not an equal playing field for everyone.

Why, though?

I don't understand.

I don't know why, though.

But because of the way that things have been set up for, you know, since the market is a lot of people.

You're talking about, like, did you see LeBron James' statement riddled with fucking

spelling errors and shit, but yet he's calling other people dumb?

I think

the playing field, no pun intended for fucking professional athletes

couldn't get more fucking level.

They're not saying that

they are not because of one reason, because they're good at sports.

They're trying to speak for the people who aren't good at sports and who are living in squalor.

No, not you.

They're not talking for you.

You don't need an advocate.

I don't?

No.

You got Kevin Smith.

Ooh.

I'll get on one knee for Kevin Smith.

All right.

Him will do it for you.

You don't need an advocate.

You're a white male.

Say it.

You're a white male.

You don't need one.

I do.

You don't need one.

But who does?

Black people do?

But I thought they were empowered.

I don't understand that.

There's still definitely.

If you think about it.

Do women need an advocate?

Some women do.

Like who?

Women who are.

Like women who get roughed up and shit.

Sure.

Women who

don't have

the inner strength to change the way things are.

They need someone to uplift them and help them.

So everybody needs.

Not everybody.

So a lot of people need, especially poor people, need an advocate to be like, hey, asshole.

Oh, no, they need get on your knee so things can change.

I don't understand that.

If you think things are going in the right direction now, I mean, it's never been more divisive.

I don't know what direction it is.

I swear, I'm like Q.

I hardly ever look at the news.

And if I look at Twitter, that's the name of the thing.

They're not nasty to each other.

It's gross.

Oh, they are.

The world should be more like ICO comics.

It really.

You say that, but

that is the most righteous thing you've said ever.

Treat everyone else.

Look at that fucking tattoo.

That's a celebrity.

You got to get a tattoo.

Look at that tattoo.

Treat everybody like Ice Hall Comics does.

That should be the new like.

Yeah, which means to bore them to death.

No.

Still no effort.

But

they treat everybody that comes into

their circle.

Right.

With respect and excitement.

That, like, if everybody was treated like that, if everybody on this earth, everybody they, everybody they came into contact with, was treated the way that they treat people,

it would be, it would be an amazing world to live in.

Because I got a treatment of it last week, and I know how good it felt.

You're still on that high.

Still on a high sell comics high.

Wow, man.

This is the first drug that you've taken since fucking buffering back in 93.

It's the last drug.

I mean, it felt almost like a little mini drug.

It's been so long since I did take a drug.

I'm not sure how I felt.

I don't know if it was just a contact high from me.

Right.

It's hard not to get a contact high from that guy.

He's excited about everything.

So it didn't bother you that, like, you drank it in, much like the Jonestown people drank in the Kool-Aid.

Because you're like, they treat everyone equally.

So it doesn't matter if you've achieved two separate comics or if you make change at an arcade, you are exactly as impressive to these two fucking idiots.

But I guess their point is like everybody has something interesting to say.

I should record the rest of this episode on one knee, too, just to show my solidarity for I Saw Comics and what you're doing and what you're trying to paint a picture.

That's not it.

I won't stop you if you try to do that.

I won't stop you.

Oh man, there's nothing wrong, though, but once in a while, I'm just not being so

cynical.

So acerbic, yeah, so like, um, like just looking for the worst and reveling in it.

There's something to be said for just a little bit of pinch of positivity, a little bit of sugar.

Why don't you throw some sugar away, dude?

I don't know if he knows how.

Oh, I know how to throw sugar, man.

I fucking throw sugar constantly.

Candyman over here.

Well, throw some sugar.

Listeners are dying for some sugar from you.

I just catch some sugar in their mouths.

Cute.

Is this?

What are you doing?

I don't know.

There's like a clicking.

Maybe it's me.

It's me.

Hey, you just fucked up my transfer.

There's a.

Did I?

Yeah, you fucked up my transfer.

Sorry.

God damn it.

I was just trying to.

It took an hour to get that long.

I just tried to slide it over.

Sorry.

Oh, I know.

The internet here sucks.

I know that's not sugary, but

it's pretty bad.

But I got to be honest with you, though.

I got to tell you something.

I have to be real and upfront.

Are you gonna keep it real?

I came down on you a couple of weeks ago for hurting the brand.

And I felt after our last episode or the previous episode, I don't think it was the overkill episode, but

I got a lot of feedback of people are not are are are

they feel I'm hurting the brand now.

You're hurting the brand.

I'm coming so far over to one side that

I'm losing a big chunk of the audience, and I'm chasing,

you know,

this only one section of our audience who is, you know.

So, I felt that today I would just try to, you know, you put me in a spot where I'm where I had to, where I couldn't initially, but I felt I could, I would say some things to try to recapture the

listeners who are not happy with me while still

keeping the people who are happy with me.

So, you're not going to say the N-word then?

That's where I thought you were going with that.

It's a tightrope.

I mean, you got to put your finger up and see which way the wind's blowing when you're trying to please everyone.

It is.

It's crazy.

So, I'm going to try to do that today.

I'm going to throw some non-sequiturs out there today.

And

you guys can talk about them or just let them lay there just so I can repeal to the people that are mad at me at this point.

But I don't want to hopefully not offend the people that are happy with me.

Would you like me to take some of the pressure off of you, Walt?

Because I can do that right now.

What way?

In a way that, like, someone that I thought was woke and maybe understood the plight of,

again,

economically disadvantaged youth in the hands of a fucking perverted white man,

but one of our own supports Penn State, evidently.

That's right.

This has been making the rounds on all the

pedophile sites.

All the panel sites.

He's our champion.

He's the white knight.

Look at that, a Penn State jersey.

Where was this taken?

That was at Penn State.

You're in honorary Santa Claus.

You didn't know who gave you the shirt.

Penn State did.

It's got my name on the back.

So you felt like you had to wear it, huh?

Well, I didn't feel like I had to.

I wanted to help heal.

Oh, is that what you were doing?

Yeah, you even mention it on stage.

I was.

I mean, the controversial.

You sure as shit didn't mention it to us when we were fucking talking

i didn't i didn't i didn't remember of course i would have fucking i would have come in wearing that if i remember are you out of your mind i wish somebody had sent me that picture before they sent it to you i would have worn that here today can you tell us the uh context of that photo like yeah we played we played and and they give you some places do it um they give you a jersey

uh like if we play like our sports arenas or something like that right they'll give us uh like a hockey team jersey with our name on it or if we sometimes we play colleges they'll give us a college jersey with uh with our name on it so they gave you a shirt and a little boy's pair of blood stained under

my name on it

welcome

no lions

yeah uh so i still have that i still have that in my closet yeah but you but and when you got it you didn't think to yourself like well i don't know if i want to be photographed with the women no i thought to myself these people paid good money

and

I have accepted.

Well, I only came out at the end.

I only threw it on in the end.

I'll do that like when we say good night.

I'll throw on the thing.

Were you the only one wearing the pen state?

I think so.

I think I might have been.

What kind of reception from the crowd was it when you were in the middle of the day?

They love it.

You come out,

they start clapping.

They go berserk.

Could you have come out and been like, Santosky?

That would have been.

Santos.

My God.

Tropo!

Or if you had just said something derogatory, you're like, you're like, I wouldn't do it like that.

And then you went pointed to this and you pointed to Penn State, and you're like, thumbs up, Penn State, thumbs down.

Yeah, let me just make the distinction.

I don't like getting that political.

No, it's probably wise.

Yeah.

It's probably good to just keep it.

We all can't be Anthony Cumius,

who turned tragedy into

a podcast network.

Did he ever, man?

Fuck yeah.

Did he ever?

That guy.

I hear he's a really nice guy.

He just gets

upset about things.

I remember when that happened with

the photography and shit.

Yeah.

Right after that, when he was tweeting.

And I remember as each tweet passed by, I was like, this dude's going to get fired.

Sure enough, he got fired, but ultimately it was for the best.

He seems way happier doing what he's doing now.

He's got his own thing.

I really don't know the situation.

What does that mean, neoprene?

It's almost like this.

Let's see.

What about this?

It's definitely not in Ghiddos' backpack.

There's not room for fucking one more thing.

Fuck, I don't want to lose it.

Oh, we'll find it.

But

while you're looking for that cue, Walt, I want to talk to you about Miundis.

Yes.

If you want to look good in your underwear, like Sandusky's friends, and be comfortable, then Miundi's is for you.

But the perfect balance is hard to find.

Did you hear Hitler's underwear sold?

Did it really?

No.

So he bought a pair of Hitler's underwear for an ungodly amount of money.

Money.

What do you...

All right.

I get people who are into war paraphernalia, war like relics, all that kind of shit.

Even if you want a Hitler something or other, if you're a hardcore World War II guy,

I get it.

Right.

But fucking underwear?

Hitler's underwear.

Probably with Hitler

Skidmark.

Well, what's it called?

What's that called?

The Hitler DNA, but it's like leaving.

But there's like, there's like, probably, you could clone

a Hitler from those undies.

Like, if he didn't piss after he banged his knees, wait a minute.

Then it's going to jizzy.

Mine undies.

Right.

Yeah.

And the monthly design could be swastika.

Some iron crosses on there.

Come on, the undies.

My right hand in the face.

Yeah.

Mine undies.

But yeah, but you could, could you, is that possible, Giddam?

Could you clone from the matter that's in the

old undies?

Depending on how it was stored,

yes, you could technically clone him if there was enough.

Like if there was a follicle at the end of the hair.

Oh, you think there's pubic hair still in there?

I had not seen a picture of the undies.

Does hair disappear over a matter of time?

Like, does it degrade to a point where your hair disappears from a, like, a, let's say it was in a coffin?

Well, they took the underwear off him while it was in the coffin?

It would be awful.

Well, no, no, no.

Like, if you're about hair, like, it's been almost 100 years.

So, does hair just evaporate to nothingness?

I think it would depend on the condition that it's stored in.

Well, forensic files, even when it's stored under good conditions, they say it degrades to a point where it's very difficult to get.

I mean, if you're talking about Hitler's jizz stain, like we're going to try to take this.

We only had one wall, though.

He probably didn't leave a lot of jizz stains.

I think it's better if it's dry versus wet.

It doesn't degrade less if it's like a

chisel or the semen or that was it dry

dreams or if it was stored dry.

I think that helps it stay preserved longer.

I know whoever bought them paid a pretty penny to think it was $6,000?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah.

How can they prove that?

I've bought some stupidity.

His mom wrote his name on the back on the back.

I'll get that the fuck out of here.

But me on these, back to you.

Yeah, me on these.

Wyatt is the best underwear you will ever own.

Feel free to improvise and tell them about your personal experience.

My personal experience is I fucking wear them every day.

I've got like 900 pairs at this point.

Yeah, at this point, I'll never have to buy underwear again.

Nope.

Never have to buy them again.

And you wouldn't want to.

They don't fucking stretch out.

They're not like, I'm telling you, like, I had these boxers from Fruit of the Loom.

They're not a sponsor, so fuck them anyway.

It was like wearing like burlap, like potato sack underwear.

It was like you went and you found like a circus big top and just cut with a fucking big

underwear-shaped fucking yeah

just put them on

yeah you're like i'm good i'm good now

they're like what just why'd you do that

uh meundis will be the most comfortable pair of underwear you will ever own it's made from a soft fabric that is three times softer than cotton you want to feel naked but not be naked

what's the code this is important this is the code i'm going to give the code right now we keep they keep saying that we're not giving anyone the code uh this is for 20% off your first pair and free shipping.

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

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

And ladies are going to love the soft, eco-friendly fabric, so soft and touchable.

I guess that means when they're washing your fucking underpants, right?

Oh, yeah, what's up?

I don't know if they're talking about when they touch yours or their own.

Like, because why wouldn't...

Oh, I see.

For the fellas, their diamond-seamed pouch cradles your jewels and gives your stuff the support it needs without feeling too tight.

And ladies will love the soft, eco-friendly fabric.

So soft and touchable.

They need more eco than men do.

Do they?

Do women love eco-friendly.

I know that's being

a little sexist.

Yeah, but you.

That's all right.

You're slowly winning the brand back.

You know, I got you.

I want to hear my first non-sequitur to win back

to your crowd, basically, and trying to win back your.

Right.

Yeah, go ahead.

Well,

The listeners who

complain about me want me to be act to be more like Bride, I say.

Okay.

So we're done with the ad?

Yeah, I mean, we gave the code.

I want to get your opinion on this, Giddem.

I'll just say it one more time.

If you order a pair and you don't love them, you get a full refund, 20% off, free shipping, 100% satisfaction guarantee.

What are you waiting for?

I think.

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

I think you're going to feel attacked when I say this, Giddem.

So that is expensive.

No, no.

I already love it.

No, it's not.

But I was just like, I'm going to.

My stance on this is if you were an adult and you collect Legos of any kind or see any Lego movies, you're an imbecile.

Wait, okay.

Can there be sort of.

It's a baby's toy.

It's true.

It's a baby's toy.

And now all these fat fucking 40-year-olds are scrapping up all the fucking Legos.

Well, why do you think Giddam's going to get upset at this?

Tell him, Giddam.

Because I just want some Lego sets to invest in.

Fat fucking 40-year-olds.

It didn't occur to me.

I wasn't really talking about him.

I had written this down.

I had written this down.

This was one of my peeves.

I was writing down peeves a long time ago.

And then he made me remember it.

I'm the cynical one.

I got peeves.

He reminded me of my peeve list when he was talking about these Legos.

I was like, oh my god, I forgot about my peeve list.

Like, wasn't it like the last time I heard like pet peeve?

He's not even saying pet.

The center folder is like peeve.

That's the only other time that word is used.

This is what I'm talking about.

You're too old to be fucking worried about Legos.

This is a children's toy.

This is a baby's toy.

But it's a bad thing.

This is not even a children's toy.

It's an investment, yeah.

Yeah, but you know what you're doing?

And Lego is catering to this collectible crowd, marketing to them.

But they're just,

it's a slow death because every child that doesn't get a chance to play with Legos, because of

you, these

fucking man childs who run around to fucking stores, scapping them all up up like with

their tongues hanging out.

Isn't that what you used to do, though?

That was different.

That was different.

This is akin to being like, oh, I collect Legos, baby rattles, and Benies.

CB rattles.

That's what it is.

That's what it is.

You don't collect rattles.

I mean, it's not that far off.

CB rattles.

It's like children's teeth.

It's just a little bit better than collecting.

That Lego movie is pretty fucking awesome, though, man.

The Lego movie is great.

Lego Batman.

I didn't see Lego Batman.

It was fucking so stupid.

I was mad that I missed out on the Millennium Falcon.

I missed out on the Millennium Falcon.

It was an $800 set, and today it came out and sold out.

It was on eBay for $1,600.

That was a P from almost a year ago, though, that you reminded me of it.

Thank you, Doug.

Thank you.

Really?

All right.

Well,

get them.

So I don't know.

Get him the investor, the Warren Buffett of Legos.

I don't know that I agree with you.

Why?

Because

how is that any more stupid than any other fucking dumb thing?

Like what?

Or if you go to the house.

Like a hot toy?

Like a high-end hot toy that retails for

$25?

The same fucking thing.

The same thing.

Stupid kids' toys.

Be careful.

And Brian is stating right there, what, you've boxed me in.

You fucking boxed me in.

Did it take that long?

Usually it's harder to box you in.

You knew.

I just looked around the store.

It was like all this stupid shit.

But you're talking about a toy that was made for a baby yeah but at least it's it's like this creativity involved oh wait are you playing with no

i i bought them to flip in like two because you know you're talking about muse right see i would have more respect for him if he played with them than if he

i would say 99 of the of the men who are like running around like rabid dogs to all these department stores looking for lego sets they are not putting them together that's the case there's a whole bunch of middle-aged guys looking for legos Get them?

That's the case, Kevin?

No,

you don't go on the subreddits of Lego collecting?

No, not really.

The dark web of Lego.

The Silk Road of Lego.

I do go on Brick Seek, but that's about it.

But I ordered these sets online through Amazon, so there was no real hunting for them.

Now, I know that's not as inflammatory as

probably, you know,

but that's my first pet piece.

I bought a Lego set.

You got to work work your way back.

I bought a Lego set last year.

Did you put it together?

I did not.

I want to, though.

Yeah.

The wanting to and not doing it.

You'll know you'll never do it.

I don't know.

What was the set?

It's the Ghostbusters' Firehouse.

Was that what you were going to guess?

No, but I wanted to take a guess on that.

Couldn't it be considered sort of like a meditative Zen

relaxing?

What I didn't want to bring up because I don't want to throw him under the bus.

But I got a friend of mine, very successful gentleman, who

who will put together Lego, and like that's what he does.

He just calms his mind and he gets into this place.

But it has to be, it just can't be any Legos, right?

You just can't.

You've got to take the ones so the other kids can't have them.

Oh, I don't know if he's.

It's got to be the collectible Legos.

That's what Zen is.

I think it's just whatever interests me.

I've been seeing Legos, right?

What are the collectible ones?

Like Star Wars.

Like Star Wars, yeah, like the

Ghostbusters.

Old Millennium Falcon was.

I like the firehouse, man.

I wanted to put it together.

I wouldn't know.

I don't know what's even.

I don't know what would have been more sense.

An admission that you bought Legos or an admission that you bought them and put it together.

I don't know what would have been more

sad in my eyes.

Well, I'll put it together.

Either is pathetic.

But which is more.

Yeah, I just don't get it.

I just don't get this,

like all of a sudden.

And then Legos is,

they're just as bad because they're keeping what should be in children's hands by cultivating this like it's collectible.

Like, how much did that, how much is that going for, that big high-end one now?

The Millennium Falcon went for $800.

That sold, MSRP was $800, it's selling for like $1,600.

The fucking kid is behind the bottom of the city.

Wait a second, I'll look at a Legos.

Hold on.

But aren't there like 20 different Millennium Falcon Lego sets?

Yeah.

So this one is the Legal.

This is the Ultimate Collectors.

It has a different crew, the crew from Return of the Job.

Yeah, but

you're no stranger to this, Walt.

This level of

shit to these assholes who buy this.

Like, this is, I mean, Comics have been doing this shit for years.

Right, but

at no point did I take toys at a baby's hands.

What about Pokemon?

You're like a baby killer.

What about baby babies?

But there are like a fucking baby killer.

I'm going to spin on you.

No,

he came back from Target with his fucking Ghostbusters fucking firehouse.

He got spit on.

But is it Ghostbusters Firehouse hard to get?

I would think so now, yeah.

They probably stopped making it.

But when I got it, it wasn't hard to get.

I just ordered it off Amazon.

I'll look on.

But the fact that they market a toy for $800, suggested retail, is

you're at some point, yes, you're stealing.

You're not stealing money from a kid.

You're bringing in that money now, but

you're destroying your base.

You're destroying it.

You're not going to have kids growing up loving this because they'll never get a chance to play with the cool one.

But they still have all the regular sets.

Yeah, they have the regular.

Nobody wants a regular one.

But kids don't know the difference, is what I'm saying.

As soon as they find out, they're like, oh, $800?

I would be so, if I was a parent who have a child, and thank God I'm not, that wanted Legos, and I found out the sham, the scam, as I say, or they call it, of Legos and how you can't get the hot ones because they retail for $800, I'd be like, I would be so

disenchanted with the Legos.

But I feel that a set of that Lego is like your hot toys.

It's $800 because it's thousands of pieces and it's huge and it's meant to be more detailed and intricate.

Hot toys are marketed for adults, retail, putting at a price point that makes no doubt about it.

It is not for children.

Again, Legos, it looks, it's got a little happy face on Han Solo.

Okay?

It's a baby's toy.

But you can get a set with Han Solo in it that's not $800.

But they there should be no Lego for $800.

There should be no Lego set

ever offered from Lego for that kind of price.

But do you have an offer for $800?

Yes, they did.

It was suggested manufacture retail $800.

Do kids even know about it, though?

Does a kid?

How many children are going to be disappointed this Christmas?

Because this fucker is hoarding all the fucking Lego

Millennium Fellows.

The way you're so passionate, I'm thinking at least one, like your kid.

No, no, this bugs me.

I hate it.

I hate fucking when, like, something that's so pure and innocent, like Legos.

I'm a, because I've seen you sell comic books for, like, 50 bucks.

Comic books are not a children's medium anymore.

It hasn't been for decades.

You know that.

People like you.

Fucking Batman's fucking everything that moves.

You know, it's not for kids anymore.

It's not fucking everything that moves.

He's proposing to everybody.

He's proposed to cat women.

You know that Legos are.

So a marriage proposal isn't for kids?

Well, we know that he's getting

proposing to somebody that hasn't had a little action with.

Oh, so the kids are going to draw the line.

They're like...

Come on.

You know that comics.

There's no comic book written by D.C.

Marvel that's on a level of

a three- or four-year-old.

Which Legos.

Duplo is made for the younger children.

Legos are.

Made for what age?

How the fuck do you know this?

Because it's so fucking tough.

Because Duke blows up.

Come here, tell me what I need to know.

Get out of here.

You're not saying what I want to hear.

Give me a weapon.

Give me a weapon.

So you can't put them in your mouth and swallow them.

The Legos are smaller, so they're made for

an older age set.

What do you got to do?

The ones you can swallow or the ones you...

Did him literally swallow a real brick the other day, so I don't know what set he uses.

Well, hey, man, it's a brave stance.

I'll give you that much.

It's an odd stance.

You and fucking Antonio Kerpechny or whatever the fuck his name is.

Yeah.

Taking a knee on that shit.

Well, I know it's going to anger some of our listeners.

I know there's some listeners who definitely.

Oh, they have some.

But that's a shitty Millennium Falcon.

This is the Advent calendar set.

They only make this for Christmas, and it's got exclusive figures in it.

Advent, how much was that?

Get him?

This was like 30 bucks.

All right, but that's weird because a Christmas thing with Darth Veda, Darth Veda is a mass murderer.

Yeah.

You watched him kill children.

He blew up planets and like there he is on a fucking Advent calendar with a smiley face.

You're opening him up like an Advent calendar.

Like it's supposed to be cute, but like stormtroopers are based on Nazis.

This is just ridiculous.

And I know you, and I know that you'll never sell it, so this is just more wasted money, right?

I mean, let's be honest.

You've never bought anything in Flipgrid.

Which brings me to peeve number two.

No, peeve number two is going to really, like, my base is going to be shaken.

My listener base

who support me, they may not like it at my next peeve, but I'll do that later.

I'll do it for all the people that you won.

I'm going to let them digest Legos first.

Okay.

All right.

Because I know there's some listeners who would collect Legos, and I know the emails are going to come, but let them come.

I don't give a fuck.

Wow.

Okay.

I like that you took.

I see what you're doing.

You're taking a very hard stance

on a very non-controversial topic.

Well,

the next one's not so non-controversial, though.

Okay.

But you don't think that

because they're going to be like, oh, the comic book man is shitting on a collectible, on a collecting field.

I think they are going to, yes.

Right?

Who is he to say one field of collecting is deemed appropriate and another is not?

I think you should be prepared for a lot of that.

Yeah.

See, that's why you got to follow my lead, man.

I blanket shit on everything for 92 straight episodes.

Well,

I maintain that I have good reasons because I don't think it's cool that you're taking the toys out of baby's stockings on Christmas.

What you feel Giddam is doing.

Yeah, I feel he has done it.

Wow.

Which is better than what it usually does, which is taking babies out of their diapers.

That's my present.

Yeah, get him.

So what's your next peeve?

Oh, you want to go right into that?

Oh, I thought you had something you wanted to get into now.

No, I don't think you want to talk about

this next thing then.

Why?

Because I wanted your opinion on it.

Oh, wait, you met Ryan Hurst, man.

How did this I saw the pictures?

Yeah.

Is that the dude from Blade Runner?

It's a dude from Sons of Anarchy.

He was on on

Bates Motel.

He's in Outlander now, is the show he's on.

Yeah, he's really good.

He's pretty great.

He was backstage at, well, he came to see our show in L.A.

at the

Greek Theater.

And I didn't know he was doing it either.

And I turned around and he's standing.

The guy's like,

he's got to be almost seven feet tall.

He's a pretty tall guy.

Yeah.

And like, I was, both his last two series I watched.

I'm a fan of his, so it was nice to meet him.

You know me fairly well.

More than one person has said that I remind them of Opie on Sons of Anarchy.

You find that to be true?

No, I don't think so.

Fuck you then.

He's awesome.

He's awesome, but he's fucking

very tortured.

He is a tortured guy.

Like in a way that you're not, you know.

I mean, he found out his friends killed his wife.

Yeah.

And kind of let it go.

Let it go.

And then not only that, sort of like took a bullet for

Jex.

Yeah, and then got beat down to fucking death in front of him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hope he was good.

I told him

I said I got upset when you died on Sons of Anarchy, but I thought your character on Bates Motel deserved to die.

So I've been on both ends of the spectrum with him.

Yeah.

Then we built a Lego together.

We built a Lego together.

Sons of Anarchy Legos.

I watched a couple.

I watched some TV recently.

I thought Sons of Anarchy suffered when he left the show.

It suffered from the first episode because Jax is insufferable.

You never liked Jax.

I didn't mind Jax.

Couldn't stand the way he walked.

I couldn't stand his fucking pseudo-macho bullshit.

It's like it's a fucking midget.

And he's just

kicking the shit out of everyone.

Yeah.

You know?

Always had that fucking screwed up, angry face whenever he's mad about something.

Yeah, you never liked.

You used to text me at like one in the morning about how angry you were about him.

Never liked Jax.

Opie was my favorite.

Opie was everybody's favorite.

I liked

probably pretty much.

What's his name?

Shit.

The guy with the scar?

Chibs?

Not Chibs.

I like Chibs too, but the dude who,

Kim Coates, the guy who banged the tran.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I forget his name.

God, why can't I remember his name right now?

Yeah, he was.

You know,

but I watched Glow, the Netflix series.

Okay.

Really good.

Like, way better.

Like, I'm like, I'll watch an episode because I love Allison Bree.

I think she's...

So pretty.

So that's what got me into it.

But it's, I think they've fucking cracked the code to being able to make a show that's pretty much politically incorrect because they said it in the 80s.

And then anything.

And anything went, yeah.

So it was actually.

Was he on that?

No.

Oh, okay.

I was just thinking of TV shows.

Mark Maron's in it.

He's really good.

Like, I thought it was just a bit part for him, but he plays like the guy who owns it.

He's the guy.

Yeah.

He's really good.

So I recommend Glow.

I also recommend fucking Narcos.

Narcos is unbelievable.

Everybody keeps saying that, too.

Dude, this is no time for this shit, man.

It's so good.

You're always on a plane.

Put it on a plane.

Well, you know what?

Curb starts Sunday night.

Fucking Rick and Morty wraps up Sunday night.

Vice Principal started.

Do you watch that?

Yeah, I watched the first episode.

The second one.

The second episode is so fucking good.

The first season, I was kind of like lukewarm, and Sean.

I was like, it's pretty good.

It's not great.

I mean, both of them are good, but what's his name?

Walter Guggen.

He's so fucking creepy.

He's one of the best actors out there.

He's the guy can do anything.

He's fucking perfect.

He can do anything.

Yeah.

I love that guy.

From the shield to this.

He's fucking around that dandy bow tie.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's great.

He's really good.

But yeah, that's,

I don't know.

So, so, what was your next peeve?

Unless you wanted me to read.

We got more peeves?

Unless you want me to read a ad.

We could read it.

Yeah, let's do an ad about something that's not for babies.

It's for adults.

It's called LukeCrate.com.

No babies allowed.

If you want to to be the envy of your friends, you get 100% exclusive rates at lootcrate.com/slash T-E-S-D.

You are going to get $3 off.

All right, they changed the copy.

It's $3 off, and October's

loot crate theme is mythical.

You want to know why?

Why?

You're going to hear the stories, the whispers of creatures and beings beyond imagination.

Well, if it was beyond imagination, then they wouldn't exist, right?

So that's fucking stupid.

Join us as we peer into the shadows and look into other realms for October's truly mythical collection.

Get Unreal Items from Marvel, Ghostbusters,

Stranger Things, Ghostbusters,

and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I like Sal's shirt.

Barbs deserve better.

Yeah.

I thought that was pretty funny.

You have until the 19th of 19th.

I hate to send me this specific loot crate.

So you got a while.

Yeah, Loot Crate's kind of spotty, right?

Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't.

That's us.

That's not you guys.

You're going to get it every time.

You get it for free.

I would chalk it up to more maybe your neighborhood where somebody sees a loot crate on the front porch.

No, man, I'll go get me some loot crate and shit.

Is that what you're saying?

Are you trying to win the brand back?

No.

All right.

Not that badly.

Check out on the porch, man.

This fucking gringo left his loot crate and shit.

Is that what you're talking about?

I'm talking about probably like

some

entitled

white dude probably just rolled up and saw it.

And I was like, oh, I want that loot crate too.

Yeah.

And

I got.

I've been pulled up in a convertible porch with his hair legs swept to the side and shit.

Putting a sweater around his dad.

He's like, collar popped.

I'm white.

I can take people's mail.

I can take loot crate whenever I want.

Yeah.

That's probably why, Q.

Some cracker ass cracker stole your loot crate.

But that's white on white crime, then.

It is.

And

look what we got to endure:

stolen loot crates.

Not much to cry about.

Nobody's taking a fucking knee over that.

I'm missing loot crate.

I'm going to take a knee for you too, Q.

Well, I don't think anybody stole my loot crates, so don't worry.

You don't think it happens?

No.

You don't think a white yuppie from fucking some 80s.

No, no, you don't think that you've ever had something just taken off your porch?

No, I don't think so.

They stole your grass, dude.

You think they're taking cuts?

Yeah,

I've never had a packet stolen.

How can you say that for certain?

Because I've gotten every package I've ordered.

You've never had something just not come?

No.

Well, you did.

Loot crate.

Yeah.

But I didn't order that.

I didn't order that.

Somebody's walking around with your epic gear.

How much ghostbusters

do you?

God damn it.

Epic range of pop culture items for less than 20 a month.

There's loot wear if you want to get shit you can wear around.

Bigger boxes with loot crate DX.

Loot pets if you want to geek out your pet.

I don't know how successful this other shit is.

What's the code?

That's most of the colours.

Again, the code.

Yeah.

More important than the fucking code that Trump has for the fucking bombs

is lootcrate.com slash T-E-S-D, and you're going to get $3 off any new subscription.

What a sweet savings.

That has to be like, what, 15% or something?

Nice.

Oh, come on.

Get it.

Get that.

What a great fucking country.

I got to do a little plug because I'm not going to be here next couple of weeks because I'm going to be in the UK

doing the Practical Jokers tour.

Tickets are still available.

Are they?

There are.

But the one I really want to push is the Manchester show, which is next Thursday night.

I forget the date on that.

I'll look it up like that.

First Thursday in October, because 100%

of the proceeds we make go to

families that were affected.

It is October 5th.

October 5th?

Yeah.

With the families that were affected by

that bombing.

Which one?

Who did it?

Who did it?

This bombing.

What are you talking about?

I think it was terrorists.

Terrorists did the bombing.

Terrorists did it.

Yeah.

At the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

Do you recall his name?

I do not.

Ariana.

Gave up halfway through.

Too important to say last names.

So, yeah, so that's the one I'd love to see.

I can tell you who it wasn't.

Official TSD Muslim Wabzi.

How is Wabzi?

Is he coming to any of the shows?

I don't know.

He isn't mentioned.

I'll

check my message.

If he wants to come,

I'll get him tickets.

He's awesome.

Wobzy is a good guy.

Declan's going to be a bunch of show.

There's a bunch of

ant moots.

Yeah.

That people are meeting up.

I wish someone would blow this up.

How many cities?

I think 11.

11 cities.

11 city tour.

That's on a level of a rock band.

Yeah.

You guys are a rock band.

are a role of jokers.

We're in Wales for the first time.

That's going to be exciting.

Yeah.

I mean, you're like the Marx Brothers.

Yeah.

Like the Marx Brothers of today.

The modern-day Marx brothers.

Did they go on tour?

Oh, you should.

They did, but they did like theaters everywhere.

Modern-day Marx Brothers.

Do you think anybody would get that?

No.

Yeah, I didn't think so either.

But that's.

Do they mean Karl Marx?

Who are they talking about?

Yeah.

You're the Gracho, bro.

I'll take it.

Yeah.

Who's my favorite?

Thanks, buddy.

You're my favorite Joker.

Thanks, Brad.

Is he your favorite joker?

Oh, it's not even close.

You know who really loves Q.

Who?

Sage.

Oh, yeah.

Because we watch it every week.

Oh, okay.

I thought you mean from the show, who she loves.

From Pijay.

From that show, yeah.

Yes.

Always roots for Q.

Yeah.

My daughters did, too.

My daughters, they were on a kick.

They were watching it 24-7 together, watching it over and over again.

And they didn't know I knew you at that point.

Yeah.

And

I would be like, I hope that guy gets it.

I hope he loses.

I was saying to you, I was like, That guy's such a jerk, I can't stay in his face.

I would say, just to annoy him.

And then they'd be like, We like him, he's our favorite.

And I've just said it over and over again just to get him annoyed.

They're like, He's going to lose.

Oh, look at him.

Oh, he's terrible at this.

And they would get so annoyed.

Like, get out of here.

We're trying to watch this.

Yeah, she always roots for Q.

And I have a video of her saying that she wants to be Q's girlfriend.

Oh, that's sweet.

Yeah.

Then Q wrote back.

He's like, she's retarded.

Do you think I would lower myself?

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Yeah,

I told her.

I told her what she said.

Yeah, so anyway, Keck, if you're in the UK, come on out.

Come on out.

Yeah.

Come hang.

Come on out.

And the other thing was Walt at New York Comic-Con.

I mean, I feel obligated to Tom because

this is, he's calling then in this ad.

Because some of his fucking shingles flew off his house.

No, no, no.

I guess he, I don't know.

I guess we promised him multiple ads, and he's only used one, but there it is.

Okay.

I don't, yeah, I mean, he's, I mean, my God, I thought that that was like if he had, they were void and prohibited if he didn't use them up within like a year.

Yeah, he may owe us for this.

So you're going to have to talk to Jordan, I think.

Blue Juice Comics will be at booth 2254 at this year's New York Comic-Con, October 5th through 8th, at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan, the Accelerators, writer-creator Ronnie Porto, a guy I really like.

I really like Porto a lot.

He's a genius level cue.

Is he?

Oh, yeah.

He's a smart motherfucker, this guy.

Come to the booth and try to stump Ronnie with somebody.

Shit, jumping into that fucking comic.

It's so funny when you see a big dog.

put

somebody who thinks they're a big dog in their place, get him because he thinks he's so fucking smart.

And he says something, he belts it out there to the room when we're filming.

and then Ronnie says well not exactly and he fucking corrects him

you see that fucking tail go between those fucking thighs so fast

it's like it looks

a small thing

it's like the bricks in the fucking pyramids

I love it though because Giddam looks over and he has to he knows that he's that he he can't correct them because he knows he's right.

And it's like, I wish that Ronnie was around constantly.

Just I want Ronnie around because I can't do it because I'm not as fucking smart as Giddam.

And we know you aren't either.

According to him.

According to him.

But you're right.

It's like he just says shit.

Giddam says shit.

And you're like, it sounds like it could be true.

And he says it with such confidence.

But Ronnie knows that it's not true.

Porter will fucking,

without compunction nor delay, dress him down.

Not like you think, not like a normal dressing down.

Like most people would be like, well, what are you talking about, dressing down?

But I know Giddam knows it's a a dressing down.

Like,

most people are just like, oh, you don't even notice it was just a correction.

But I know it's a devastation.

It's like Charlie Brown getting hit with that baseball and all his clothes fell off.

Like, Giddam's just naked in front of the room because Bondi fucking ripped a fastball right up the fucking middle.

Everyone's like, he doesn't have a thigh go.

So gross.

I mean,

could mom drop more fucking names that no one knows into this fucking copy?

Make sure you say the code.

Just tell them the harder booth is.

Yeah, and a special New York Comic-Con exclusive event this year.

Walt Flanagan has heard of us on ISO Comics.

We'll be signing limited copies pre-release of the new Blue Juice Comics.

Oh my God.

Can you say Blue Juice one more time?

Knights of the Fifth Dimension, the four-issue.

Oh my God.

Nobody cares about the names except for Walt, okay?

And I care about Porto.

They will not be in stores until 2018, but you'd be the first one to own a copy.

Then he goes on to say when our panel is going to be.

It's going to be at the Hammerstein Ballroom at 1:30.

On the same day

you're in Manchester.

We'll be in New York.

I fucking wish I was home for this.

Yeah, it'd be cool.

You're usually always there.

I am.

I lost track of the schedule this year, and they booked it at the same time.

I love Comic-Con, and I'm missing it.

But

if you're you're listening and you want to hear more about the book,

you know, you listen to ISOL Comics this week.

Yeah, listen to the comics.

I don't know what episode number it is.

They're closing in on an anniversary iSell Comics.

Yeah, they've got to be coming close to 300, right?

I don't know if it's 200 or 300.

I might be.

I don't know if I'm.

I think it was 300.

I have them on

my podcast.

Combine.

But Q, I want to tell you,

if when Metro comes out and it just gets ready for release, you've got to go on ISO Comics.

I'd love to.

They will fucking

treat you like a human being.

Yeah, you will.

And you'll thank them for it.

Yeah, treatment.

It's awesome.

It's like a back rub.

It's like a foot rub.

Is there like a happy ending?

A verbal happy ending.

A verbal happy ending.

We weren't included in it.

Those guys just jerked each other off.

You done with this?

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

Both 2254 all weekend.

Free, free signatures on anything.

Oh, you're not charging.

Not charging anything.

Just for the.

What about for a picture?

I want a picture with it.

Free pictures.

Oh, my God.

You're going to regret it.

You know how much money you're losing?

You're going to regret it.

You're not losing any money.

If you buy the comic,

I'll sign as much as you've got there or take as many pictures as you want.

Nobody wants my picture.

I know that for a fact.

That's true.

You just wait.

But if they've listened to this,

then I want to give them a picture for free.

Yeah.

Because nobody's going to know that I'm giving away free pictures unless they listen to this.

He's got a good point.

He's got a good point.

Until they walk up to the booth and they're like, can I get a picture?

And And you're like, sure.

Then that's when they discover instead of that.

All right, well, I'm going to ask them.

They're going to have to say the code word for a free picture.

Oh, what's the code word?

The code word is.

Lego baby.

Hubbub.

Oh, hubbub.

That's pretty good.

How about

peeves?

Peeves.

I got my next peeves.

All right.

So I want to hear it.

If you say peeves, you're going to get everything.

Well, even if you don't say peeves, but I might just do some checking.

Like, I might just do a surprise check.

Oh, like a TSA type thing.

Yeah, I might just be like, uh uh what's the code code word for that free picture?

And if they don't say peeve,

it's like a verbal pat-down.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Peeves, everyone.

Oops, sorry, I had to break in there because when we recorded this, I forgot to mention that if you are unable to attend New York Comic-Con and you are interested in the book, you can pick it up from Blue Juice directly.

If you go to shopbluejuice.com, all one word,

they are selling copies of the book, the New York Comic-Con edition of the comic book.

It's called Knights of the Fifth Dimension, and

it's available there if you're interested.

So, you know,

thank you, and back to the show.

Now, my last peeve was actually a very old peeve that I had stored in my phone for so long ago.

I also, I never did get to say, though, I don't ever.

Holy Shore isn't funny.

I never got to spit out, though.

I forgot to say, like, I don't, anybody that tries to tell me that the Lego movies are genius,

please just save your breath.

I told you the Lego movies were genius.

Oh,

everybody that I talked to, like, oh my God, you cannot believe how funny it is.

I'm like, Yeah, they are good.

Well, I didn't see Lego Batman.

I'm not interested.

And I, you know, so you don't need to tell me how genius it is.

Okay.

It looks like

something that

even a child would be bored with at this point.

But you haven't seen them.

I haven't seen them, but I've seen the trailers.

I get the gist.

I kind of get what it is.

It's a toy that talks.

I've I've seen Toy Story.

All right.

Eve too.

This one's going to really fire you up, Bri.

Okay.

This one's very current.

I thought of this when I was compiling my peeves.

This one was right on the this is very newsworthy.

If you found any joy whatsoever in the Jenner's pregnancy announcements,

please do society a favor and perform the latest term abortion on record and blow your head off.

Wait, can you reread that one more time?

I'm sorry.

If you found any joy in any of the Jenners pregnancy announcements this week, please do society a favor and perform the latest term abortion on record and blow your head off.

This is your peeve.

That's what I'm telling people who, yeah, this is a peeve.

People who come in, they're like, have you heard?

Yeah, the Jenners are pregnant.

Like, there's multiple Jenners that are pregnant now.

And if you found any joy.

Not Caitlin.

I don't know if that's possible yet.

That'd be fucking

a 60-something-year-old woman.

Yeah, just when you think it can't get more disgusting.

But I thought that was good, though, because I'm coming down on the jenners, which are the most vapid and

useless

form of entertainment in society right now.

I know you don't like it, right?

Again, a rare stance, but go ahead.

I like it.

I love it.

And I'm also throwing in abortion to talk to my base who

can make them still think that I'm pro-abortion.

You're saying, wait, so you're saying that the genner should have the abortion?

No, no, no.

If you are some fuckwit out there on the internet and you are like, oh my God, three gender pregnancies in one week?

And you're happy about that?

Are there three gender pregnancies?

Yeah.

I thought just one of them was pregnant.

I didn't even know that.

Oh, there's three of them.

Chloe?

That seems

Caitlin.

The one that's married to

the one that's married to

Puff Daddy?

Kanye West?

Kanye West.

Oh,

I love it.

You can't even tell the difference.

You're like, Puff Daddy, Kanye.

I mean, come on.

And the youngest one, the one that's not even, the one that's a real Jenner.

The Kylie or Kendall, one of those two?

Two are Kardashians, one's a Jenner, but they're all Jenners, you know, I guess, right?

That's crazy.

I think they're more likely they're all Kardashians.

I think they're more likely to be considered.

I have nothing but respect for those people.

Wow.

What is that?

For the Jenners and the Kardashians?

They've become

billionaires, world icons, by doing nothing.

They've done nothing.

They are the smart.

You want to say get him's the smartest person in the room?

I'll take a fucking any one of the Jenners' brains over that guy.

You know for a fact.

There's somebody shepherding them.

You don't want their brains.

If you got into a room with one of those girls and we ever really had to talk, Gedham would spin circles around them.

Yeah.

They wouldn't know what was going on.

Yeah, but one of them has a fucking bank account that's in the fucking millions.

Another one's burying $100 and change in his yard.

And that is.

Any day of the fucking week.

Is that now the litmus test on whether someone is worthy now?

Is their bank account?

Yeah.

It's one of the deciding factors of capitalism.

Is it really?

You're telling me that someone can't be, is less of a person because they don't have as much money as somebody else does?

No, that's why we're not taking these.

That's our stance.

If you have some money, you're better than the person.

I'm not saying that, but I am saying that

I respect what they were able to pull off with limited resources.

I think it just speaks to how limited we are as a society,

what we come to

expect or demand of celebrity at this point.

Yeah, and they saw that and were like, I'm gonna fucking meet that demand.

They just happened to fucking just be there at the time when social media exploded.

Right place, right to deal with it.

A lot of people were.

And not a lot of people were them.

A lot of people, though, at least had some talent to back it up.

There's nothing that they've done

that demands attention other than showing their Yoohoo.

Which Kim Kardashian did this week is Hugh Hefner died, and I guess she took like a tribute photo and showed her fucking busted-out gash.

Yeah.

Because, of course, it has to be about her.

It can't be just about, like, hey, Hugh Hefner.

First, you don't have to comment.

But if you do, it's like, hey, look at me.

I'm naked.

I was never in Playboy.

They never asked me to.

They're a horrible role.

She's great.

She made it about herself.

And now we're talking about her.

And you're telling me that that's not fucking a cunning.

Well,

I don't think she's cunning.

I think she's she's a narcissist, but I don't think she's like, hey, I know how to draw attention to myself.

But she does.

It's a natural talent.

I'll tell you this right now.

No matter what she does.

You're going to put up

the giddem comparison to any Kardashian.

He only falls short in one category.

Otherwise, he surpasses a Kardashian in every fucking category.

Well, okay, two categories, not money.

I'm going to say looks.

Looks.

It has to be.

It has to be one.

It has to be one.

It's the only category he falls short of a of a kardashian or a jenner well he does have a certain charisma i'll give you that he has a better personality i don't know their personality from what i've heard yeah it's it's uh linoleum have you seen the the pictures of those jenner girls when that show first started versus now

They look like it would be as if you started with Giddam and you ended up with Brad Pitt.

Like they look nothing, nothing like the children they looked like.

Like, you know, like when when you grow up, like, you kind of look like

you kind of look like the same person.

Like, one of them looks just like Kim Kardashian.

That's on purpose.

Oh, yeah, but it's weird.

That's so young.

They're horrific role models for young women.

I don't know.

They are.

They're terrible role models.

Why are they terrible?

Because it's so, like you say, it's narcissism on a level that cannot be measured.

It's about like just.

But why are they terrible role models

because it's like they

promote everything that's awful about a person's personality like uh

consuming um merchandising it's just it's just the the constant need to just

to promote a a brand that is

that hasn't that has no redeeming uh value

there's no substance there's no substance to it it's it's so substance why does entertainment have to have substance

of talent It doesn't.

In this

world,

it doesn't mean it shouldn't be called out for what it is.

Should stop trying to substitute it.

What is it?

What are they saying that they aren't?

That's annoying.

I saw it when I was doing my research on this

on my Peeve.

She was like...

It couldn't have been in your phone that long, wasn't it?

Just like last week she found out.

What?

That she was pregnant?

No, no, but

when I found out she was pregnant, it was pissing me off when everybody, I've seen all these things on Twitter where everybody's like so happy.

I saw that she she did an article where she said that um

she's tired of people saying that like, you know, uh does not giving her enough credit because you got to give her credit for at least for being a hard worker.

So well you have to.

Uh

hard work doing what, though?

Posing for a picture?

I mean hus, I guarantee Huss' schedule is fucking way more stacked than Gidem's.

Without a doubt.

Okay.

Right, but that's only because people people want her on a red carpet, though.

And they don't want Giddam on a red carpet.

They don't want him on any carpet.

They might stain it.

He's got to go bomb his carpets, he told me this weekend.

Flea bombs?

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Does he have animals in the house?

Yeah.

Okay.

I was going to say, because I would hope he would.

Because if he didn't, there were still fleas all over him.

I don't know.

I just feel like

it should.

You can't stop it now.

It's a monster that

it's, I don't know, I don't know how you're attracted to this if you are attracted to their brand.

Well, you know what people like to say about shit like Kardashians or the housewives, that kind of thing?

It's my guilty pleasure.

It's my guilty pleasure.

Now, the guilty pleasure is once in a while, not weekly.

Like, that's not a guilty pleasure.

And it's bullshit.

Because I decide what a guilty pleasure is.

I don't think they're embarrassed.

I think they're ashamed that they like something so they can deserve it.

Instead of being proud of it, they go, oh, it's a guilty pleasure.

Right.

What's wrong with the guilty pleasure?

I never, ever fucking told people when it wasn't cool to love comics.

I never once said, oh, my comics are my guilty pleasure.

No, I was like, I like fucking comics.

Fuck.

How?

Yeah.

But there's nothing to be guilty about comics.

Comics are awesome.

Now they are.

No, they always were.

No, they weren't.

Cue.

Did you always think they were?

Public opinion.

Yes.

And I always thought they were.

Yeah, but

you're younger than I was.

You don't know what it was like in the 70s to like comics.

70s, but you had to.

It sounded like the 80s were a fucking thing.

Led Zeppelin, kids with Led Zeppelin patches on their jean jackets, beating the shit out of you if you said you liked comics.

You didn't have to deal with stuff like that.

Yeah, but

Rolling Stone patches.

That's all I saw before I got knocked out.

Captivate Teneal patches.

No.

Coming at you.

Yeah, but my point is like.

The tough kids.

But my point is this: you never felt they were lame.

Right.

So it's not a guilty place.

I never said that late.

This person who's saying this knows it's lame, and that's why it's a guilty place.

So they're not proud of it.

They know it's shit.

Right.

That's why it's a guilty, that's why they're saying it's a guilty pleasure.

Right.

I grew up with this guy in the 70s.

I watched him trumpet comics.

To be a comic fan in the 70s is like being an unarmed black guy today.

That's the, that's the struggle.

That's the struggle.

All right.

That's the struggle.

I didn't realize it was that bad.

Oh, it was awful.

Yeah, but my point is, like, it's, it's.

What deems it a guilty pleasure is your perspective of it.

No, you can tell.

You either like something or you don't.

A guilty pleasure is like, oh, this song came on the radio and I turned it up, even though I know it's a corny song.

Not something that you religiously watch.

But

then you like it.

What about children and young girls?

That's a guilty pleasure.

It's a pleasure.

Why are you guilty?

Because you know it's shit, but you still like it.

But what about young girls who aspire to have a lifestyle

of those women?

I would say their parents have more of a fucking

job than the Kardashians are.

In this world,

you know how hard it is to be a parent

and try to beat down social media.

It's virtually impossible.

Why are they responsible for that?

Who?

They didn't tell these people to have kids.

Why are the Kardashians in charge of that?

They also didn't say, like, hey, we're role models.

Oh, yes, they have.

They've tried to act like role models.

But even if they have, they're not responsible for you.

And I say yours, I don't mean yours.

But they're not responsible for your kids.

You could say mine.

But your kids are past all this shit anyway.

But

I know that when I've asked Alicia at times, I'm like, well, what do you want to do?

And And she'd be like, oh, I want to be around.

Oh, I just want to be famous.

I want to be famous.

And I'm like, why?

He says, oh, I just think it'd be awesome just to be famous.

And I'm like, that's the Kardashian effect.

Because they've shown, I mean, they've proven that you can be famous for virtually nothing.

And it can be all

kick-started by

making a point.

You know what you guys sound like?

The same motherfuckers who wanted a ban death metal for being too suitsy.

I don't like it.

I don't like it.

I don't like the effect that it has on society.

So that's it.

Well, the ban word was that.

You're the first person that said the ban word, the B word.

You guys are.

I'm not even saying banned.

You guys are holding them responsible for the actions of the people who consume it.

I think, I believe.

I believe, though, that death metal

was not as prevalent

as what the Kardashian.

The Kardashians is a movement.

It's a movement.

It's either death metal, you liked it or you didn't.

Yeah, there's

either young girls are so influential.

They're so much more influential than young boys.

Yeah.

Because

they want what the Kardashians have put out there.

So their parents should fucking tell them how it's bullshit then.

It's not on the Kardashians.

I know it's not their fault.

But

it's a struggle to try to tell a kid that

when they see them have a million followers,

and you're going to be that one voice that's like, well, those million followers are wrong.

They're bots.

Yeah, right.

Those million followers are wrong.

Your mother and father are right, though.

There's the two followers you can count on because we follow you, honey.

They're not going to believe it.

I don't know what to tell you.

Lily's Frenchy needs to up her game.

She's supposed to get a million followers.

I don't know what to tell you.

There's nothing to tell you.

I don't watch it.

I don't, I don't, it's not something that interests me, but

I don't fucking ripple it.

It's the what it all comes back to is your peeve, which is like people who don't know

these people personally are so excited by a baby being born.

But

if somebody's having a baby in their family, they wouldn't feel that kind of joy, though.

Or their neighbor.

Right.

It's just this attitude of like they care more about the digital announcement than an actual family announcement.

Like it's going to be Jesus or something.

Jesus.

Jesus Jr.

I agree, it's stupid, but

I have healthy respect for it.

Well, you have respect for people who are excited by the announcement?

Because I'm attacking those people.

No, I have respect for the people who prey on those people.

That's the respect.

I didn't say the Kardashians should blow their heads off.

No, no, I know.

I understand what you're saying.

I said that people who are excited by it should do society a favor,

commit death by their own hand.

Right.

I'm not saying anybody should hurt themselves

or hurt each other.

They'd have to be.

There's got to be a cutoff.

There's got to be a cutoff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

13.

Legal adults?

13.

You're a teenager.

You should know better.

Legal adults.

Yeah,

you got to be at least a drinking age.

Yeah.

Okay.

You know, so you can go out and buy fucking, go buy yourself a big bottle of booze and help with the medicine goes down.

Lead medicine go down.

Look if that's your suicide of choice.

That's That's a good peeve.

Is it a good peeve?

It sparked a lot of conversation.

That's a good one.

Okay.

I got a couple, two more, but

what do you want to talk about now?

Oh, no, no.

Do you want to move on to this?

This is a question I had for you guys again.

You're both very...

Well, Walt, I don't know how woke you are anymore.

Am I coming off?

No, I think you're doing a good job of seeing what the winds might like.

Because, like I said, I'm talking about...

You're getting angry about topics.

You're giving them the old waltz, the salty walt, on topics that aren't really going to piss them off.

What's going to piss more people off, the Lego stance or the Kardashian stance?

The Lego stance.

That's our listener.

That's the kind of listener I want.

Most people are probably agreeing with you on the Kardashians.

You think so?

Oh, yeah.

I don't think our listeners, by and large, would watch such fucking dribbling fucking nonsense.

You know, most of our listeners, you know, like I said, I want to throw that word abortion in there because I feel it helps my base feel like it's still what it does.

It does.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it's good.

It started getting a woody when I said abortion.

It chumped up a little.

So there's, you may have heard of this.

Q, maybe not you.

You don't, you don't really hear about much anymore.

No.

So there's a bunch of sorority girls.

All right.

I watched a movie with a bunch of sorority girls in it last night.

Was it hot?

I mean, they called it telephone.

Yeah, they got naked and just started having sex with each other, so it was pretty good.

I've talked to some college girls.

Doesn't happen?

It's only on Port Hubble.

It was pillow fights.

Yeah, it doesn't.

Did you go to college?

Not real.

Not any place like that.

College of Stan Island.

Was it a all-male college?

No.

Yours was all-male high school.

High school.

Wherever you go.

Any pillow fights in the all-male high school?

No, unfortunately.

You're shirts, boys.

We're doing this sorority stuff.

You went to college, though.

You know.

A couple classes over at Brookdale, yeah.

I've been there.

A few pillow fights broke out.

And you saw any

pillow fights?

But there's no dorms over there, right?

No.

No, no,

I didn't live 15 minutes from

in the dorms from where I actually lived.

Edgar, I need you to spring for 16 grand for an apartment.

So there's these sorority girls, right?

Yeah.

And they start up a little controversy.

They made a video of themselves singing

Kanye West's gold digger.

All right.

What's the controversy?

The controversy is that when they get to the refrain, I guess, where it's like

gold digger.

Oh, she ain't hanging out.

She ain't hanging out.

No, broke.

It's not even the hard R.

It's the like, you know.

You've got enough said.

Okay.

So

the song contains that word, which the girls sang along.

So they posted this video?

Because everybody's got to post it.

Whatever you do, you've got to make sure you get it online.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

Why would you take that video and not post it?

I know.

I know.

I mean, there's.

Then people wouldn't know you sang it with your friends.

I know.

God, how is it going to go viral?

It won't.

Oh, it did.

This one did.

It went viral.

It sure did.

But people didn't like it.

They said that it was ignorant and insensitive.

And somebody, an anti-racism student Facebook group called All Eyes on UNH, I guess that's University of New Hampshire, a member of Alpha Fiserarity, put up this video of girls singing along to Gold Digger by Kanye West on her Instagram story.

The girls sang the N-word without thinking of the implications.

This is a showcase of ignorance, and that the

Panhellenic

should do better in combating racism.

The first step is addressing willful ignorance.

But if white people do not consume Kanye's music,

then Kanye is not Kanye.

That's what he wrote.

Those are the lyrics.

That comes to the saying.

So, what are you supposed to?

I got the answer.

Oh, you got it?

Well, I don't have the answer, but

let me see.

Somebody else does have the answer.

Let me see.

Hold on a second.

I do think that

they're stupid for posting that video.

Why does people feel they have to post everything?

Dude, I sing Wu-Tang weekly.

And a lot of N-words in Wu-Tang, and I don't edit that shit within my four walls.

It's an N-

It's a Wu-Tang-free zone.

You know what I mean?

Like, you're allowed to do whatever you want.

The second I step outside the house.

I would want you to.

Yeah, but I'm not.

Look, man, look, do I agree that you should not...

No, I don't, but I also, that's not the world we live in.

So we got to adjust.

Here's the answer, okay?

Because Sophia Ford, a UNH student, she's got it all fucking figured out.

Okay.

So if you know the lyrics so well, well,

then you should know when the word is coming up and literally shut your mouth.

So they sing every word in the song, except they all stop when I'm like, but she ain't hanging with no broke.

Then they all stop and then they pick it up again on the next word.

How do they, how?

No, does this fucking bitch, this fucking

afford, I don't give a fuck, she's an idiot.

Does she, when she's in her car singing songs,

Does she stop at that word?

Yeah, it kind of takes the enjoyment out of it.

I'm sure she would.

Oh, I'm sure she would, too.

How are you in college?

How are you smart enough to go to college and you still don't realize, you know what, we don't need to put everything we do online?

Let me tell you something.

People who go to college are not necessarily smart.

All right?

They're not.

Remember, I got in trouble when I told, remember, I talked about college kids?

That's one of the things that turned me into what I became.

Which was, oh, you said the Gizmos and gadgets shit.

Remember, that's where it all started.

Salty Walt.

We lost Salty Walt for years, but once I got there, people called me cunt.

And that was at home.

You don't want to hear what that was.

That's when they had a web board, and there was a little Tell him Steve Dave forum on Kevin's website, and an episode would come out.

Literally, four different people would be like, that cunt.

He's a cunt.

They would say that.

They actually said that just because I said that.

It took a while to make me four accounts, but it was worth it.

Dismos and gadgets of the college kids, what college kids should do.

And that's what that led me down the path

of enlightenment but is it real

eight years ago absolutely not uh and that's why you got to stay true to yourself you don't fucking people call me cunt all day it's not going to change my opinion well i did stay true to myself i know you didn't but now you're coming back

now you're coming back they see it didn't work because then people get upset when you're on the other side that's why i guess i gotta straw the line you're neutral

today you're never gonna you're neutral on everything

well take no no i went hard on legos You did.

Not neutral.

Legos and the Kardashians.

We're going to come.

Some more, way more

spontaneous, like stuff that could be so explosive.

So you're saying that sing it, don't post it.

But why shouldn't they be able to post it?

Because, as Q said, we live in a world where you don't need that kind of

attention directed at you for

any reason.

It's It's not worth it for you to fucking sing it and post it.

It's not.

What are you getting out of posting it anyway, other than now a nightmare scenario where you're

right?

But it's always a possibility.

I don't mean that they shouldn't post it because it's wrong.

I'm talking about the same reason you know, fucking you look both ways before you cross the street.

That's it, man.

You got to watch out for yourself.

And it's just like, what?

I'm not saying, like, just be fucking smart.

Realize the second you put that word out there, you're getting shit like this coming your way.

Right.

Yeah.

But

so be reasonable.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, it's you have to sometimes be, you have to think

even, you have to think unreasonable.

Will people

not like what I said?

No, no, I can't identify with that.

You better start.

I guess, because I was going to record myself singing at Gold Dick.

Now, really, I don't know what to say.

Right.

They posted it hoping they would become the next Kardashians.

There you go.

So, yeah.

Some people said, hey, it's a fucking song, you morons.

They're having fun dancing and stuff.

Well, that's how I feel.

And it was on the radio.

Like, I don't, like.

And they don't bleep it out on the radio?

No.

To me, look, but this is what we were saying.

Remember, you were like, don't cross that bridge.

Your kids don't deserve to cross that bridge.

To me, it's just like

that word.

You can buy it.

It doesn't affect me.

And you can tap your foot to it, but you can't sing it.

You can't sing it.

You can't sing it.

You can't sing it.

You can can lop to it.

You can bap your head to it, tap your foot to it, but your lips better not fucking mimic it.

What if I'm reading it?

Or pay the price.

What if I'm reading a book?

Has the word in it?

You could read it,

but you can't say it out loud.

Don't read it to say it.

I like to read out loud.

I just read Little Black Sambo to it the other day.

You know it.

You know it.

You actually, you're trying to be coy and cutesy, but you know Q is right.

Cutesy.

That should be a new

cutesy Q.

Cutesy Q.

Hello, boys.

What's the bit?

Yeah, I just think like...

Q's right.

How are we still having these conversations?

Because these are not fucking people who are trying to

not get fired from a TV show or a radio show or some entertainment.

Like, these are just people having fun on their own time, posting it to a social media account.

And then taking shit for it, which is something that is like, because if you start fucking bending bending to all these overly sensitive fucking assets.

It's not being oversensitive.

It's being, it's so stupid what they've done.

I bet my fucking life the bitch who was like, hey, you got to close your mouth when that word comes up is a fucking white college student.

Well, do you guarantee

this?

What's that?

Because these people could just be like, whatever, wait a week and nobody's ever going to give a fuck again.

I think that's what happened.

So they're not getting shit for it.

Like people are commenting on it.

Somebody put it up because they thought they were cute and they thought people would fucking like it.

And it's their own social media account.

i don't think they were like it's gonna get a million hits one way or the other i seriously doubt they expected this to happen i read this article on uh

miles morales spider-man yeah where he met peter parker as a kid recently and like a thing and he for whatever reason he he said to peter parker you'll always be the real spider-man like you'll to cheer him up he's like you'll always be the real spider-man and people are like that's racist there was like a backlash of just like how could they have

black Spider-Man say to white Spider-Man that he'll always be the real Spider-Man?

And there was a second where my mind started turning where I was like, what the fuck?

Are these people serious?

And then

I was like, why do I care?

Why do I care about anybody's stance on it?

I don't give a shit.

I just shut it down.

You just got to let it go.

You just got to let it go.

You can't let it go.

You can care about anything.

Or you get, or you know what?

Compile them in a peeve list.

Yeah.

You should make up it.

Hey, it's paying off.

I'd love to see what peeves you.

What peeves me.

So, yeah, you write your peeves down.

Yeah.

Then you come in here, you grouse about it, you feel a little better.

I don't really have any peeves.

No peeves?

What about this, though?

You're living the dream.

You've got to say this is God.

This would make your peeve list if you'd be afraid of the peace.

Because I kept peeves out of my life.

I don't have peeves.

Good.

What do you got?

Saudi Arabia announced women will now be legally allowed to drive.

Oh, is it that car with the thing?

No, no.

They just are now allowed to drive.

So I would be annoyed at that?

Of course.

Like, they're saying it, like, they're announcing it as if that should be like,

all right, all right, women are allowed to drive now.

Right.

And now we're supposed to.

Yeah, now we're supposed to drive.

Progressives.

Yeah, but only 60 years ago, women weren't allowed to vote here.

So

what stance am I taking?

No, that's like 100 years ago.

But wait a second, though.

It's not like it happens immediately.

You got to give the rest of the males of Saudi Arabia some time to

digest this.

It would be like seeing a donkey driving a car.

This is how unnatural it is.

You got to wait to 2018.

Okay.

And

you have to be older than 30.

Okay.

And then you can peeve.

And you can only drive when the sun's out.

But what's supposed to peeve me about this?

It's ridiculous.

Yeah, but it's also in Saudi fucking Arabia.

I don't give a shit.

I'm never going to see it.

I'm never going to be there.

But people are happy about this.

Oh, God.

But see, this is why I don't have a peeve.

I would never hear this, nor would I care about it.

God damn it.

Even India is just like fucking

where they're fucking hopscotching down the street to fucking avoid human feces.

They're just like, oh, welcome to 2017, Saudi Arabia, or 2018.

Whatever the fuck is that?

Why do I give a shit about words?

Why are you talking about drug and motherfuckers?

But this is what I, you know,

I shit on train tracks.

Even I'm more involved than you.

But this is what bothers me about

activists

of any stripe.

Sounds like a peeve.

Go ahead.

No.

I don't have any peeves.

I don't have any peeves, but I'm trying to come up with a little bit of a shit.

I'm not sure if you're peeve.

We're getting all dandered up.

He's so fucking peefed off.

He's getting dander brushed off of him while he's talking.

Dandered him.

Let's get my dander off.

His dander girl stepped in and took care of it.

Either you care about everything.

Or you care about nothing?

Or you care about nothing.

No, I don't believe in that.

You were right about the girls and the sororities.

What you're talking about social justice-wise?

Sure.

Almost anything, but yeah, social justice-wise.

Like, how could you be so passionate about this one thing?

But ignore the fact that

there's shit going on everywhere in the world.

Like, people pick and choose what they get upset about and ignore everything else.

Right?

Well, I said it last week with slavery.

People are more upset about slavery that happened three, four generations ago than the fucking millions of women who are sex trafficked and basically slaves to and it's and that's horrible you know it's all horrible horrible, but they don't care about today because they want to get mad at shit that happened hundreds years ago.

I can't speak to that because I don't fucking care.

But what if I care about anything?

I don't care if I'm not sure.

I saw you maybe make that announcement, though, and expect the world to set up and applaud.

Because for them, that's probably a huge

progress.

They're like, I can't believe we fucking went this far.

Are you sure?

Like, the clerics are nervous.

They're like, are people going to get up?

They're going to deal with these countries.

Like, you know, until they become, until they fucking see the errors of their women.

But wait, wait should female presidential candidates take huge fucking amounts of money from from these countries yeah i don't know i'm just saying is that what happened maybe

well look i mean it's a you that's what you can look at as it's a step in the right direction and that should be applauded i i guess but i mean it only took what

all of history to fucking have it happen

and even then

Even then, it's a provisional license.

Literally, 17-year-old teenagers on provisional licenses here have it better than 30-year-old women.

Or 29-year-old women.

They're working towards that.

You gotta understand, man.

That doesn't fry your mind that there's parts of the world.

No, because I don't think about it.

Because I don't care.

Because here's the problem.

Look, before fucking TV was invented, before radio was invented, right?

Before mass communication,

where you found out what was going on across the world the same day it happened, like take me back to a time where you fucking didn't know what was going on three blocks past your house.

Right?

No accused.

That's how humans' minds are meant to.

The human mind is not meant to process worldwide suffering.

We have fucking too much.

It's short-circuiting everybody's brain.

It's like, you're not supposed to fucking know all this stuff.

You're not supposed to process all this shit.

That's so ass backward to think that we know too much.

I don't care.

That's like saying we don't know how to, like, I don't need to learn any more than I've ever learned.

People act as if humans are experienced more than they've experienced.

You instinctively know how to respond to something that happens a fucking world away when for all of human history, none of it mattered to you.

And most of these people can't

take care of their own fucking backyard, and they're worried about all this shit in this place and that place.

And fucking

if fucking one of the Jenner girls drank a Pepsi or fucking this one said something about fucking, you know, this one sang gold digger.

Can you imagine being a hardcore SJW these days?

Like your attention is pulled in a million different directions.

That's my point.

It's not.

They pick their battles.

They pick their fucking causes.

Have you seen Chris Odondo's Twitter feed?

Oh, he's like, the guy's mad about everything.

Yeah, I don't know.

Are you telling me that you don't think that that's just, it's just the, it's just a story that just sickens me.

That's like they want these props.

I'm saying if I'm going to give a shit about that, then I got to give a shit about fucking a thousand other things.

And I ain't doing it.

I ain't doing it.

Why?

Why?

Because I ain't doing it.

I'm not fucking doing it.

I'm not joining the human race, though.

I don't want to, man.

I fucking donate enough money.

I fucking do everything.

That's not donating.

Taxes?

I'm not even talking about taxes.

50% of my shit getting stolen from me and distributed to everybody's fucking cause.

I'm talking about money like I actually donate.

My point is, like, if either I, look, I don't have the capacity to care about every single thing that goes on in the world.

Nobody does.

So nobody could fault me for not giving a shit at all unless they care about everything.

Show me the bring me the person that's going to come in here that fucking cries himself to sleep every night about every injustice in the world.

That person doesn't exist.

So I don't want to fucking hear it.

But it's impossible to care about everything.

It's impossible to know everything.

I care about animals.

It's impossible.

Not every animal.

Right, not every animal.

I fucking had a hamburger yesterday.

It is what it is, man.

I'll care about what I want to care about, and that's it.

And currently, what I care about is fucking a square radius of about a hundred feet in every direction, and that's it.

Right.

Carrying this is nobody comes up and take asking for a picture.

Oh, fuck.

Come on, man.

That's a fucking at least these women could drive now.

Not if it's dark out or if they're fucking, if they're 29 years old or younger.

Why is that, though?

Like the dark?

Because they might, like, with the moonlight and shit, they might start feeling sick.

I mean, you should have heard the reasons why they couldn't drive.

They said it would hurt their ovaries if they were to be in a passenger in a car.

Well, maybe the

maybe the maybe the pavement isn't so great over there.

A lot of potholes and shit.

I don't know.

Could that hurt your ovaries?

So ass backwards.

But what I'm saying is, like, there's sex trafficking, child sex trafficking going on in the world right now, right?

So why aren't we talking about that?

Why are we talking about it?

You want me to do a peeve on that?

No, but and then the second you say that, I'm like, well, why aren't we talking about this other horrible thing?

I mean, you bring up, I'll bring up another, we'll sit here all day.

It says the guy that sports around a Penn State sweatshirt.

Right.

I can't wait to wear that.

Yeah, see, my point is just like.

No, no, no.

Because you can't use that as an excuse not to care about things, though.

But you can.

You absolutely can.

Yes, you can, but we don't want the world, but we won't.

We couldn't.

This world cannot handle

everybody being Q.

Yeah, it can because Qs take care of their own backyard.

And Qs take care of them and their own, and they fucking look out for the people around them.

If I was walking down the street and I saw someone hurt on the sidewalk, let me help you.

So what?

Let me take care of you.

What's going on?

If the world was all full of cues,

and you found out about Puerto Rico, people checking out.

I'd be like,

oh, you're on your own.

Is that fucking true?

No, no, I know, but you're saying, but if everybody takes your stance of like, I can only care about my four by four area, people have to care.

Or else, or else it's a thousand times.

I donated money to specifically to Puerto Rico, I did.

Okay.

This week, right?

That means you're showing you care about a problem now.

Yeah, but it's like, it's not, like, then I didn't think about it again.

What do you want me to do?

You're going against your credo.

Because you still got to be a good person.

I'm just saying, like, you can't fucking

give a shit about everything.

But you just went against what you said.

No, because I went and you donated to a cause that moved me.

No, because there are people who are.

It didn't move me.

A storm went and knocked a bunch bunch of fucking power out and killed a bunch of people.

I'm not moved by it.

I'm like, it sucks.

So, what can I do to help?

That's a major help, though.

Yeah, well,

you're taking 50% of my fucking money.

So, that's some of that's going there.

Q, do you know how many pairs of pointy shoes and stolen hubcaps floated away during that hurricane?

Do you want to replace that shit?

I don't know.

Do you want to live in a world where everybody thought like you, though?

Yeah.

Do you?

Do you want to live in a world like that?

That sounds horrible.

I gave, I donated thousands of dollars.

Yeah, that was a caveat before that we found out about, though.

But the person you described didn't sound like they donated.

They just were like, okay, I care about my little four by four, and that's it.

Well, yeah, that's my main concern by far.

Right, but that sounds like, but

you can, but you didn't throw that in there, like, but you can donate and do other things that move you.

Sure, but I'm not going to sit here and fucking pretend that I can't sleep at night thinking about the fucking

beautiful isles of Puerto Rico.

But that's how people are.

But he also, he's donated in the past to the ACLU, who we know defends openly gay people.

I don't, wait, what?

But

what he was describing, though, if that was all of us,

that I don't think it would be a world that if anybody would really, it would be a rough world to live in without compassion.

Most people, though.

I'm not saying you're not compassionate.

But what you were describing, though, is like, I don't give a shit, and nobody care about your little four by four.

Yeah, but I think if everybody did take care of their little worlds, the world would be a fucking way better place.

Way better.

But still, with the compassion for, like, if their little world is okay, then they look a little bit past.

Look, the reason, you know why I could take, you know why I could send money to Puerto Rico?

It's because I took care of my shit and got myself in a position where I could fucking send money to Puerto Rico.

Okay?

That didn't come from me fucking running around hand-wringing and crying about every fucking stupid little thing that came up.

I took care of my shit, okay, and I got myself to a position where I could do it.

Walt's peeve has become yours.

I don't have any peeves,

but that's, you know what?

That's a little thing.

That's a little thing called self-reliance, and that's a fucking dirty word in the United States tonight.

It's a fucking horrible word to fucking sit there and be responsible for yourself and to fucking take care of your own business.

I mean, he sounds more peeved up than I was on Legos right now.

I feel like your Lego argument is checking a huge dent.

Peeved out.

Self-reliance is a horrible idea in this fucking idea, you know, working for something is a horrible idea in this country.

Everybody's a victim, everybody wants fucking the handout for free shit.

You want my pet peeves?

That's it.

You know, that's that's a blanket statement, though.

I don't think everybody does.

I think there's a lot of people.

There's a lot of people that want that are willing and want to work for what they get.

You hardly ever get your loot crate.

Yeah.

I want free shit.

I'm not distancing myself from them.

I would love free shit.

But at the end of the day, somebody's got to pay for that free shit.

Yeah, Miundi's.

Oh, right.

Well, we got an Andes.

But even Manchester.

Yes.

That's fucking a very expensive night for us to be giving the money away.

Which shows right there, and I is that you are not the person you describe.

You are not this cold,

uncaring, self-indulged, self-you're describing me, not you.

Yeah, I am.

Definitely.

You are not Brian Johnson.

You are a compassionate,

caring, and giving person.

Well, you gotta be.

But you gotta take care of your own shit fucking first and foremost.

Right.

And people don't know.

I don't think anybody would disagree with that.

I don't know.

I think a lot of people would disagree with that.

But what you were describing was...

Well, what I'm saying is, like, you can't.

A world that likes, that was just, it's all about me.

I got mine.

Okay, but there might be another person who is like, I don't care about Manchester.

I don't care about Puerto Rico.

Why would I give a shit about that?

I care about that.

I care about this.

Yeah.

So it's like, why are they, they're not wrong.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

How are they right, though?

We're obligated.

They're in our own heads.

They don't have like

shit that they care about.

My point is, like, you're either obligated to care about everything or you're obligated to care about nothing.

Well, and if you're obligated to care about nothing.

Your argument doesn't sound sound, though, because

you don't care about everything that you still gave to Puerto Rico.

Right.

But my point is, like, well, first of all, I didn't mention it until the show in the argument, but like, I wouldn't go online and be like, here, I'm donating to Puerto Rico and all that shit, right?

Right.

I think people do that too.

I just think the world is, I don't even know what, I don't even know what my point is anymore.

I'm all over the map.

You're all peeved out.

You're all peeved out.

He lost his mind to the point.

Yeah, I'm just like, I don't know.

I just think that people care too much.

That's my point.

I still think people.

Well, they care care too much, but

it seems to always be

in a way of like it's not like

a humanitarian style way.

It's like they're angry.

Like, they're so fucking angry that, like, you don't care as much as they do, or you don't care about the same thing that they care about with the same fucking level of intensity.

And it just, like, so then you're called names, and you're like a piece of shit or a Nazi or whatever because you don't care as much.

Sure.

Why am I a a Nazi?

Oh, come on.

I'm a Nazi.

You're definitely a Nazi.

Why am I a Nazi?

Because you're a fucking white guy.

That's all it takes.

Yeah.

That's all it takes.

I don't know if that's all it takes.

For some, I'm saying for the far left.

For the moral segment of the population.

Right.

But, yeah, but you know what, Brian?

I don't know.

To me, it's just like the second I got offline, the second I stopped reading those

newspapers, the second I disconnected, I stopped hearing any of that stuff.

Nobody in my life

has conversations like that.

Nobody says this person's evil.

Nobody says this person's that.

It's only online.

It's only in this fucking world.

And I've disconnected from it.

Which is pretty small when you think about the tweets that you see or that kind of shit.

It has to be

like an insignificant number of people that are.

Yeah, it's bullshit.

But they everybody spend so much attention on stuff.

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

You know what?

Like, I know a lot of cops, and to the fucking one,

they are good people who do not go to work wanting to hurt people, who do not go to work, but you go online.

Every fucking cop's evil.

Every cop's.

The statistics don't matter either.

You could be like, well, here's the situation.

Here's statistically.

Here's the situation.

And they don't give a fuck.

They're like, don't come at me with statistics or science or any other name.

And I would turn around to like racists and be like, you fucking kidding me?

Like, the majority of the people I work with are of color.

It's like, and they're the hardest working, smartest people.

Like, so it's to me, it's just like, it's only when you fucking go outside your world that you start getting all this shit.

And it's like, I don't want it.

You're like, I'm in touch with them right now because I was singing Gold Digger.

I don't like it.

It was a whole thing.

I don't like it.

Yeah.

But there are, there are, but that's the thing.

Like,

I thought the knee thing was because of police

brutality over here.

A lot of it is.

I think it's a lot of people.

99% of it was about.

Okay, so of course.

I shouldn't say.

I i think it's a big part of it but it's not it's not the only so of course it happened that happens sometimes and it's a fucking tragedy when it happens and the the person is unarmed and you're like what the fuck dude and that is a very small

segment

of what happens.

But they don't want to, like, they really people don't want to address like, well, in Chicago, fucking 20 black people got shot by 20 other black people in a week.

Like, that seems to be a way bigger problem.

And I get it, like, police are authority, and it's, like, fucked up that they do that.

And if they do, they should be fucking punished just like anyone else.

But to, again, to ignore all this other shit that's like, seems like, well, this seems like the bigger problem.

Where like inner-city violence is.

You can't even say that.

You can't even bring that into the conversation.

But I think with the point with the

I don't know, man, because I talk to

guys on my crew and they're like, it's fucking true, man.

Cops just treat you differently if you're black.

I have a couple of buddies that same same thing.

They've said the same thing.

Fucking Mello.

He was like, every time they're driving, they've got stopped five times this month going back this season, going back to Asbury

when Mello was in the car.

People started being like, dude, I don't want you in the car.

We keep getting pulled over.

Man, right?

Like, that's fucking.

That's horrible.

But

there's so many sides to this argument about the thing with the kneeling in the NFL.

I mean, it's like, on one hand, it's like, I understand why people are upset about because

they're using the flag as

an instance to make their point.

But also, it's like, well, they're using a peaceful protest to make their point.

So it's like...

There's...

And also, can we stop pretending that the flag hasn't been bastardized all over the place?

American flag bikinis.

Budweiser uses the American flag in their advertising.

Like, all shit that, like, I think technically you're not supposed to do.

Like, if you look at the code of respect for the flag, a lot of that shit that people do, you're not supposed to do.

So, if people are like, hey, I'm going to take a knee, fucking whatever, and they're like, you're fucking not a patriot.

Yeah, I'm not,

I understand that level of like, like, so against it.

I'm like, they're taking a knee,

they're doing whatever they feel is

a suitable

reaction to what they feel they're not happy about or they feel is not

is not being addressed.

Yeah, I don't get it.

I don't understand the

absolute fucking losing your mind anger about it.

Well, the other argument, too, is like, well, they're rich, so America's treated them pretty well.

It's like, well, you can be rich and still fucking be bothered by these things.

Like, the amount of money you have doesn't matter.

Yeah, it does.

Yeah, money, I mean, well, it doesn't matter when you're, you know, if you're pulled over in a car, it doesn't, you know, they're not going to.

I'll tell you what does a lot of times if you're on a TV show.

The thing that would bother me most about it is we've had this conversation years ago, Walt, where I was like, I'm tuning in to watch football to shut my fucking brain off and enjoy something.

Now I gotta fucking have politics in my face during football, too.

Hey, dude, same thing.

I just got

the Stephen King book that he wrote with his son.

Yeah.

And I'm starting to see seeds planted about like white male oppression and shit.

And I'm like.

And Stephen King.

Stephen King and his kid wrote a book.

Is that so far ill?

No,

Owen King.

it's his youngest son.

So far it's okay.

But I can see little seeds there, and I'm like, oh my God, can you read or do or watch anything?

That's why I'm just going to watch Glow over and over again.

Sports has a history, though, of

using

athletes using their sporting event to bring a level of consciousness to the Olympic gods, right?

Weren't they the first?

I mean, not the first ones.

I'm sure it's been.

I mean, you can go.

I mean, Jackie Robinson has used sports was used as.

I mean, you could go back to the beginning of sports.

There's been things done and Jackie Robinson.

Protests, whether they're, you know, so I, this is a tradition that, like, this just didn't, like, happen last week.

So I just don't, I'm like, I'm with you on this one, Q.

I'm like, who gives a fuck?

If they want to kneel, they kneel.

Like, I don't care about football.

I don't like football.

I don't know anything about it.

These guys don't want to fucking stand for the Pledge of Allegiance because they're unhappy with the state of the government.

Fucking let them do it.

I don't know.

Let them do it.

Who cares?

Who gives a shit?

Well, another argument is like, well, there's people who are like, well, I fought for that flag.

And, you know, there's a valid argument to why people are angry.

But there are guys who said, this is what I fought for.

Like a veteran.

Yeah, who will be like, yeah, I fought for

their ability for them to do what they want to do.

So it's just like, do whatever you fuck.

Just do whatever.

That's what I'm saying.

But does the teams have a right to tell their players?

Employees.

See, I think they do.

They said the owners are afraid of the players.

That's what Trump said.

And that was like some.

Oh, is that what he said?

Yeah.

To me,

I think the franchises do have a right to be like,

you're not protesting on that dime.

It's the same as the school, where it's like, look, you're a part of an institution.

Dicey argument.

Yeah,

they would have the same.

It's not dicey because I can't go to fucking work and do whatever I want.

Do you think somebody at McDonald's starts fucking?

Oh, yeah, I 100% agree with you.

It's just because I'm not afraid of the team.

But if the team, if it gets out, though, the team is not allowing their players to express themselves, that team is going to face a backlash.

Why should that be?

I can't go to work and do whatever the fuck I want.

You can't go to work and do whatever the fuck you want.

Why do these guys get to?

It's a different

form of entertainment, though.

I mean, like I said,

in sports, there has been a long history of

athletes using that platform to make a statement.

So now, if you're going to squash that, you're going to,

especially any team that does that, I think, is going to pay

a price, a backlash from, especially, you know, online.

I don't know about it.

I don't know about it in the stadium.

I don't want to generalize about football fans, but it seems to me that most of them are probably like, a lot anyway, like blue-collar types who

are like, for the most part, probably anti-neething.

yeah i think

i bet you it's right down the middle i bet you it's right down the middle just like everything else in this country then some are blue collar some are white collar and it's it's it's true that's what sports is but it's a melting pot it brings everybody together you everybody could put a maybe a fan could just sit in there and root for your team talking about the fans or the teams because because the teams it's mostly black guys

because they're better the fans i see it's like it brought it brings people together from different you know

different political backgrounds and you're rooting for the common cause, your team, your local team.

They're nuts, though, right?

Sports fans are always fighting in the stands.

They're like, hey, you like the other team?

I'm going to attack you or throw soda on your face.

Not all fans, just like not it's like, just like not all terrorists,

not all people are terrorists from a certain country.

Not all fans are fucking drunken louts who are going to beat the shit out of each other.

Some want to just go to the game, cheer and go home, and

a patted oppon a p an opposing fan be like, oh, nice game, and shake their hand.

But another fan would be like, I'll break that motherfucker's face.

It was like wearing another jersey in my arena.

A couple years ago, some lady was upset about

getting her balls busted about the Yankees or something, and she ran somebody over with a car.

That's a passion.

That's passion.

Like, you really love your team.

You're committing vehicular manslaughter.

Well, that peeve did spark some conversation.

Peeves are good.

This last peeve may not be so,

but it's much more personal.

First, let me quickly ask you, Q.

The other three jokers are like, hey, we've agreed to take a knee

at the beginning of the show.

I don't take a knee.

You won't do it?

No.

Good for you.

I don't take a knee.

Good for you.

I don't understand what's behind it.

I don't understand how it's going to be viewed by people.

So I have no interest in displaying any sort of allegiance to any side.

just no i'll stand let them let him knee yeah let them let them take a knee i'm not doing it are they taking a knee worldwide or just around here in where we need like like the uk would they would they show support or solidarity for america american football players i mean well no i don't think it's just a football thing right uh i saw pictures of fucking these idiot fucking hollywood celebrities who again they they can't just like do something it's like here's david decovney and whatever her name is the lady jillian anderson yeah here we are taking a knee it's like fuck off What a brave stance.

How ballsy of you.

No one expected this.

Oh, my God.

Some fucking A-listers fucking took a knee, took a picture of it, and sent it out.

That's not the safe play, is it?

What happens if they just really believe it, though?

You think so?

Why are they so

cynical?

Why would you think they didn't though, or else they wouldn't?

Not every celebrity is.

Just cue.

What's cynical?

Doesn't care about anything.

You should take a picture of yourself.

I'll bet you get some more viewers, man.

But I don't want

views.

You want to stay apolitical, right?

Like, apolitical is the way you can.

That's what I love.

I watch a Joker's every week.

I'm not kidding.

Every week.

I never see any of that shit.

No.

I watch it.

I check out.

It's fun.

That's all it's supposed to be.

You watch it, you check out.

Tune in, tune out.

That's it, man.

That's fucking all it is.

Was it dropout, tune in?

I don't remember.

Tune in, tune out.

It was.

It was the boob tube.

Yeah.

That's what I want.

That's what I want

my accomplishment in life to be.

He got people to tune out.

That's it.

All right.

My last pet peeve, or it wasn't even a pet, it was a peeve.

There are these things.

I don't know if you guys have seen them in malls or in your local neighborhoods of candy stores selling chocolate shots.

No.

Shots of liquor?

Chocolate shots,

they're like melted chocolate in a syringe.

And kids like squeeze the syringe and the chocolate comes out into their mouth.

Okay.

And I believe this is glamorizing

drug use.

Timothy Leary, turn on tune and drop out.

So

you can get chocolate, liquid chocolate in a syringe.

It's a syringe-shaped piece of plastic, and melted chocolate is put into it, and then kids walk around the neighborhood shooting the chocolate into their mouth.

Does it look like a

hypodermic?

Like a toothpaste?

No, it looks like a hypodermic needle.

Well, first off,

technically what they're putting in their mouth is a drug.

Chocolate?

Sugar.

Okay, sugar.

You know?

Right.

But it's not the chocolate that.

It's the fact that you're selling the chocolate in the form of drug use.

Like cancer.

The worst kind of drug drug use.

But you know what?

It could be like sort of, you go to the doctor and you get a shot.

Well, here's a shot that's like more fun.

It's not glamorizing intravenous use of heroin or meth.

They're like, no.

It's fucking drug chic, man.

It's heroin chic.

If you think it's heroin chic, the Cadbury is like, how do we appeal to these youngsters?

I don't think it's the chocolate manufacturers.

This is a product that's like Philippines or something, or is this this America?

This is right across the street.

Really?

This hits so close to home because I told my daughter about this.

I told my daughter how against this I was.

She's like, that sounds glamorous.

And she was like, oh,

why?

Who cares?

Whatever.

And I was just like, you know that kids are stupid.

You know that once they,

if you familiarize them with a needle, a needle should be a fucking stove to a child.

It should be like a hot stove.

You teach kids, don't go near a hot stove.

You don't go near a needle.

And I was telling her this.

nobody told me that.

And I've been burned and taking drugs.

And she was like, No kid is going to just make the gateway from chocolate to straight to heroin.

Like, you know, Brian Johnson.

And so, this, I had this talk, and I forgot about it.

And then my daughter and her friends came to Redbank, and I had to drive them home.

And I drove, and I'm, and she's.

She's telling me she purposely trolled you all that stuff.

She forgot that I talked about it.

Oh, really?

She forgot.

And so, when I knocked the kids off, when I dropped the kids off, I was was just like, You went and got the chocolate shot?

And she was like, The shot?

And she was like, What are you talking about?

It's like, I heard you say that you didn't like the chocolate.

They didn't have it with them, but I heard her say that they had the chocolate shot.

And she's like, Oh, she started laughing.

Oh, yeah.

I forgot that you were even on that kick.

She goes.

And I was just like, What do you mean?

I go,

I go, that is.

I go, I have never been more disappointed in you right now than I am right now.

I said, that you went and you brought a chocolate shot.

Oh, so she had one too?

She must have.

She said she did.

She said she did, but she said she did?

Yeah, she's like, who cares?

And I'm like, but you knew I didn't like it, though.

And you did it anyway.

She goes, I forgot about it.

Even if I did it.

It's like a lot of shit.

We also bought Legos.

And she said, this is what killed me.

She said, even if I did remember, I still would have bought it.

Because it's chocolate, she said.

So

she's battling you with logic.

All right.

And I'm like, but you knew I didn't.

She goes, no, I forgot.

She goes, but if I did remember, I still would have brought the chocolate.

I still would have got chocolate because my friends are buying chocolate.

Right.

And they're going to be like, hey, Alicia, why aren't you buying any chocolate?

Well, my dad, you know, he's kind of down on these chocolate shots.

You know, what do you think, though?

Do you think that this is some sort of subversive way that is like seeping their way into like, oh, well, I equate a needle of chocolate wasn't bad.

How bad can this needle of heroin be?

That's a retarded kid.

Come on.

Seems like a big leap.

You don't see that.

So, where do they get the needle of heroin?

They're like, oh.

I guess I'll try this too.

My dad was bitching about it earlier, but give me that.

I'm going to ride this horse.

At some point in their lives, all kids are going to come face to face with the needle and have to make that decision.

Did you?

Yeah.

You've been offered a needle full of heroin.

Dude, I was a fucking junkie for years.

I never was offered a needle.

I've never seen a needle I've never seen a needle.

I saw it once, and it was only because I paid the girl to do it in front of me.

Are you a kid?

You're lying here if you said you never had, all through growing up and as a youngster, you never were like, hey, you want to do a little horse?

No, never.

I swear to you.

Dude, I've never, I saw Coke once.

Like, yeah, like,

I've never seen meth.

I've only saw heroin that one time with that girl.

Yeah, no, that wasn't really.

I hung around with you guys.

You were so lame.

Maybe if I had cooler friends, but you guys are like, hey, let's play hockey and then go to Denny's.

So it had nothing to do with fucking drugs or anything.

I believe, well, you know what?

You should count in your lucky stars.

Give your father a hug and your mother a kiss.

That you were a child that didn't grow up with

the specter of

shots.

It was a horrible decision, you know, like look like a Lamo in front of your friends or fucking really tune out with a fucking needle sticking out of your arm.

But I did.

So I'm not thanking either of them.

It wasn't a needle, but it was a pill form.

Right, but that's what I was saying.

Like, isn't this an epidemic?

So MMs should be fucking

banned as well, because MMs look like pills.

They do.

It's one leap.

It's one leap.

Grandfathered in.

Grandfather did.

Yeah, this new shit.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

You know what, though?

Like, we had candy cigarettes that were marketed as

big cigarettes.

Always down on the candy cigarettes.

I thought it was irresponsible.

Or the bubble gum cigars.

But the cigarette, like, you could blow on it and like that power.

Yeah, that came out.

Yeah, but I never wanted to smoke cigarettes or a cigar.

Right, but yeah, but you can't, you cannot factor that decision, but you would make that all kids will make that smart decision because a lot of kids don't make smart decisions.

And let's not give them a leg up by normalizing needles.

Look,

if it was a real needle and they fucking mainlined it, like they just popped it in their vein and shot the chocolate out, I'd be like, wow, like he's got a point.

Not like it looks like a needle, and then, oh, though, didn't it some wasn't there like a pen or a pencil that was shaped like a syringe, and people got upset about that too?

Yeah, I don't think, I don't think it's a one minute you're fucking doing your homework, the next minute you're on heroin.

I understand a chocolate shop struggles to get people in.

You know,

it's a very difficult

storefront to have.

Right.

I see at the lo the storefronts around here, and then they're not a lot of walk-through traffic.

Only on the weekends or after school, maybe you see.

But during the day, like when people are really working.

If they're not if if people aren't walking in the summer during the weekday, they're not walking.

Yeah, it's a tough one.

But let's I understand that the the

the like, well, sh you know, how about this?

You know, I mean, let's try this, but you really shouldn't sell out your kids.

It seems to work with heroin.

Let's try it with chocolate.

You really shouldn't sell out your your the the kids by like...

Just have a Rolo.

What?

Just have a Rolo.

What's that?

That's a

little current.

Or find a different way to market it.

But don't market drug use and intravenous needles to...

Look, I will argue, it's a strange decision to do it that way.

You guys have not seen this?

What if they had, like, instead of a needle?

Instead of a needle, what if it was like a little mini turkey baster?

Like, same concept basically.

It looks like a needle, though.

But he's saying if they made it look like a turkey needle.

They made it look like a turkey-based one.

They called it the chocolate-based.

With the bulb on the end.

Yeah.

Choco-based.

Choco-based.

I think that

if we could get them to agree to that, I would think I would have made a difference.

Did you try?

No.

No?

Who's going to listen to me?

I can't even get my own daughter.

It was like, I like, was like, oh, I forgot about that, and I still would have bought it even if I remembered.

Right.

You know you have no power, right?

I mean, this isn't the first time you're learning this.

Like, oh, yeah, how about when you went on a beach?

How many syringes did you see?

We lived on beaches.

How many syringes did you see?

You knew that the fucking whole town was a fucking

chunky city.

In all fairness, a lot of that was medical waste from Staten Island.

But you're right, though.

That town, that town, the whole Bayshore area has a major fucking heroin problem.

But you know why the heroin problem is so big now?

Because the government is like, oh, these pills that we knew were addictive are getting people people addicted.

Well, we're going to have to come down on that.

So then they institute all these fucking laws and rules about prescription drugs, which is only if you love fucking opiates, you're going to be like, well, fucking, I guess I'll do heroin then.

Because one, it's cheaper, way cheaper than pills, and it's more accessible now.

Hey, could you release this as one big episode?

Because

then if I know you're away, then maybe we could do one because I forgot, though, I need to get that thing in there about New York.

New York.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, it was a long episode, though.

How long was it?

It was, so far it's like with two hours and three minutes.

That's okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Fold them over till next week.

So did you get, did you get, yeah, I didn't see the passion, though, for my syringe argument, though.

Ah.

As much as it was for the other one.

No, because the syringe thing, it seems like a very specific,

very specific thing that bothered you.

Well, the taking the knee too could potentially involve him.

Well, the taking the knee thing doesn't bother me at all.

Isn't that the one you were just talking about?

No, no, you're about the Saudi Arabian.

Oh, the Saudi Arabian thing, right?

The Take and Knee, it doesn't matter to me whether they do it or not.

But the chocolate thing?

I think, you know, maybe, you know,

ask your

some of the fans, like your brothers who have children.

Maybe they think differently.

Well,

give it to them for Christmas.

Like, give them one, and then see how your brothers react.

Tell them, Steve, Dave.

It's the squad.

J squad.

Alright,

this is how we're gonna do this.

We need to go through every episode

piece by piece,

so we can try to

catch you up

to season three

of Rick and Morty.

Yeah,

yeah,

giving the servers a start.

We're pulling Morty right out of that dark.

Rick Sanchez, so we're drinking the pit.

Let's play and ride on this buying, ripping Morty with no common sense.

If attacking this and stations, but Rick wanted this, he mentions Morty is a little dip shit.

Trying to make Morty into a dumb-dumb for seasons rack them, but the man can do cut, dumb, not done.

Son of Jerry, not so scary, but necessary for best.

To think that she'd be happy if she missed Gary.

Yeah, this guy giving canine devices.

Thinking he's a nicest, cause of the authorising.

But Rick, yeah, he never learned the lesson.

Making parked inside and testing, making homeless and investment.

And uh, cats wanna salt his intelligence.

Cause of their negligence, Rick, leave him hesitant.

Unpredictable like the mad hatter.

Leave him mad back.

Cause when they all looking for that dark matter, look at me, look at me, it's Mr.

Me seeks.

Jerry is wagging his hell, that's what me thinks.

Morty wants adventure, that's what he seeks.

Jelly bean almost raped them in some toiletries.

Hey, I'm gonna get really good.

Hey, Duck, what happened?

That was only halfway in season one.

Yeah, I get that, I get that.

We're gonna go ahead and speed this up.

Alright, we're gonna speed you through the process, get you through season one and season two.

Alright, just follow quickly, all right?

See 137, the realest rick in

Now you really screw the world with a simulation.

Parasite chillin' sitting in there waiting patient.

Memories till they see the world overtaken.

Overthinking, overthinking.

Going to this pretty quick, man.

Alright, see, there we got you through season one.

Halfway through season two.

We're about to go ahead and finish this off, alright?

Time to get shrifted.

Something's up everywhere, there's a dissixty.

Raid the busy for damage and serious.

Right in the universe, I'm a superior.

Bitch, better recognize I'm tiny.

Red one derry waste of scary to sacrifice some little dick.

Some plan to celebrate the purse on the raid and bird person's word.

Different the concept so absurd.

Oh, words.

Plan the Federation always hating home hell.

Rick turns it for his family and he goes to jail.

Wait a minute, wait a second, wait to this, wait to this, wait to this.
