Speaker 1 What's up, EQ? Hey, bud. And what's up, Walt? Yo.
And I noticed even Ginnam has put out a mic for himself.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, I was chastised to do it.

Speaker 1 So, oh, yeah, you were trided into it. You, when you said it's right out of the gate.
This has been going on for about 45 minutes before we even turned on the mic.

Speaker 1 You said put out a mic because I'm sick of you people asking you questions and you can't answer. Right.
Okay. All right.
All right.

Speaker 1 I thought you meant a recent chastise because I don't remember the chastises from a couple weeks ago. There's so many of them.
There's so many to choose from.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 News? Got news? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Unfortunate news. Black Friday.

Speaker 1 People are planning to come here. We're not going to be doing it this year due to failing health.
We're all falling apart. Everybody's fucking falling apart.
That's the problem.

Speaker 1 I got a bad back.

Speaker 1 Giddam is like...

Speaker 1 He looks like a zombie. We're going to have to get a new office with a ramp for this guy soon.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 These stores are not wheelchair compliant.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 I checked it out earlier. Well, maybe a jazzy can go.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about that, yeah. Yeah, you can probably find like a used jazzy on the side of the road somewhere.

Speaker 1 Giddam is literally, yeah, I'm really concerned about it being a long-term,

Speaker 1 you know, him being out, out of action for a while with all he's got going on.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 he sits there laughing.

Speaker 1 That's a great idea. That's why

Speaker 2 The doctors don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 You got to have that positive attitude, you know, and he has it. Laughing his way to hell, man.

Speaker 1 But he's not the only one. I mean, you're not got a pep in your step right now.
No, no.

Speaker 1 I did something. I woke up.
And that was enough.

Speaker 1 Pulled something in my back. I've been back and forth to the.
It's been a long time. What's up? It's been a while.
It's been about five weeks now. yeah

Speaker 1 and uh finally got the epidural but we'll see if that takes i don't know we went to uh qest for fantasy fest and he was in bed at nine o'clock on the biggest night yeah the biggest night yeah like i was i was like i just i can't go down i just can't do it it hurts so bad yeah and my original idea was like because up to the last minute i was like i should cancel these flights and just say fuck it i'll do it next year but i'm like well i'm gonna be either in pain here or pain there and at least, you know, I can see my friends and shit and hang out.

Speaker 1 You made a good go of it. You didn't miss too much.
It was really that one night that you were like, fuck this. Yeah.
So wait a minute, Q, as you, as, you know, as

Speaker 1 one of your oldest friends, you weren't like, I'm going to go to bed too, Brian. I'm not going to go have fun.

Speaker 1 That's what I said to him. I was like, how would you react if I was like, I can't believe you guys went out?

Speaker 1 Troy was down there too with Meryl. So it was like, all right.

Speaker 1 I have a responsibility to show him around. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 All right. So you'll be able to use the Troy card.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He wasn't even done complaining yet. I was like, before I heads out of it all seriously, he's like, oh, you're not going to stay in with me and just turn in early, too? Let's watch a movie.

Speaker 1 I mean, honestly, 50-50, I might have.

Speaker 1 I got to say, it wasn't like he was out until three in the morning. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Well, there was one night where me and Troy, that night, actually, we were out till two. Yeah, you guys were out there.
But the rest of the night, yeah, it was like midnight or so. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Did you text him pictures saying, wish you were here?

Speaker 1 No. No, no, we don't.
We We did wish you weren't. I just kept texting what are you guys doing now.

Speaker 1 Share your location with me.

Speaker 1 But it was still, yeah, it turned out to be a really good time. It was fun.

Speaker 1 Even with the infirmities, it was fun. I got to judge a

Speaker 1 wet t-shirt contest. Really? Yeah.
Yep.

Speaker 1 The big one. The big one on the island.
It was huge. Yeah.
There were, I mean, there were well over a thousand people there. I was insane.
So you got to look at 2,000 movies? No.

Speaker 1 Oh, there were 1,000 contestants? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 There was a bunch of people in the pool, though. Like, lots of people in the pool, lots of people hanging around outside the pool.

Speaker 1 But what was weird about this t-shirt contest was one,

Speaker 1 it was me.

Speaker 1 It was a lady that I had just met who was like 50, this lady Lori, who was the best. Yeah, so cool.
So fun.

Speaker 1 Like when you think of fun people, like Ming's one of those fun people. This lady is like one of those fun people.
She was having a fucking blast

Speaker 1 at this thing. Then there was the King of Fantasy Fest.
Yeah, they have a king and queen every year that they put. I'm surprised that you haven't just become the

Speaker 1 de facto king. Oh, dude, he is the king.
Trust me. That guy was king in name only.

Speaker 1 Q is the true king down there. Everybody knows him now.
He knows everybody. Yeah,

Speaker 1 i got a nice little community going down there they're very warm to me but no you have to raise it's a

Speaker 1 charity thing whoever raises the most money for charity and this guy who won this guy joe he was a marine he raised a hundred and i think

Speaker 1 a hundred and sixty thousand dollars for animal charity spca or whatever down there um totally totally fucking served but he was he's more beloved than me like that guy everywhere he went people loved him he people did love that guy and what a what a he never stopped smiling.

Speaker 1 He's just the best. I know.

Speaker 1 He never stopped smiling. It was out there, man.
Great dude. There he is.
Yeah, there he is. Good guy.
Really good dude.

Speaker 1 They tried to talk me into

Speaker 1 throwing my hat in the ring for next year. To be the king? To try to raise money and become the king.
But I just feel like...

Speaker 1 I don't know. That's a little carpetbagger-ish, isn't it? To be like, to come down and be like, now I'm the king.

Speaker 1 I know I could raise the money, but I wouldn't want to do it without, like, you know.

Speaker 1 What does the money go towards? Well, he, it's, it's who everybody raises for your own charity. Okay.
It doesn't matter which charity you raise it for. Okay.
So the people, so the people who

Speaker 1 would be the recipients of the charity money are like, well, yeah, do some carpetbaggery, bro. I don't think anybody down there would mind at all.
Like, like, it's, it's.

Speaker 1 I just, you know, give me a year or two before I. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm doing really good down there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. People are really happy to see me.
Do you think you could step on some toes if you go in there hard and go for the crown?

Speaker 1 I don't know, but I know the way you don't step on toes is by, you know, softly sloughy, monkey monkey.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 Like, just get in there and do it. I could see it happening, but not, you know, I don't want to blow somebody out of the water.
You know what I mean? That, like, lives down there and is, like,

Speaker 1 been looking forward to it his whole life. I don't want to be the king.
I'll be the king. I'm working my ass off this year.
I'm going to be the king.

Speaker 1 And then I just put out a tweet and like blow him out of the water. I just don't want to do it.
It just doesn't seem exactly right to me. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 But yeah,

Speaker 1 but it is great down there. Yeah.
So anyway, this

Speaker 1 contest turned out. Well, first off, the lady was 50, but again, she was

Speaker 1 so exuberant, so full of energy that you would have thought she was like 30. Yeah, we ran into her everywhere.
She was always partying. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And not inappropriate, not like drunk, sloppy. She was just like, she was like a mink.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. She's exactly like a Ming.
See, in my book, that's a slur.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You guys, it's all, I guess, the way you say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Fucking Ming. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What are these fucking Mings doing around here? Yeah. But you roasted the glasses on him.
Look at Ming.

Speaker 1 And that's what she's like. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. She was great.
And then there was another guy who was a judge there who seemed to be, again, like a local luminary.

Speaker 1 Matt. Matt.
Yeah, Matt. Yeah, he owns a shop down there called Lost Boy Creations.
He's one of the best guys. Yeah, he's awesome.
Awesome dude. Yeah, he's a very friendly dude.
They all are.

Speaker 1 You live down there. Everybody's in a good mood.
There's a reason for it. I didn't see anybody in a bad mood.
Nobody's in a bad mood.

Speaker 1 Like I said to Mary Beth, like when the first Q West, I didn't hear one person walk away being like, well, that wasn't any fun. No.
No. Where Q West sucks.
No, no. No, no.

Speaker 1 Of which I think we only have like five tickets left for it.

Speaker 1 Snap them up. If you're on the fence, jump in.
We haven't even announced the. There's some big surprises coming for the lineup this year.
Nice. Yeah, it's going to be good.
So, but

Speaker 1 it's a bummer. I know some people are going to be bummed.
You know, no Black Friday

Speaker 1 this month.

Speaker 1 But we'll plan something like a Black Friday in July. Right.
Something big. Yeah.
We're all healthier. Yeah.
Maybe everybody's not limping around.

Speaker 1 But I do want to go on a record when I had a hose hanging out of my dick. Yeah, you see.

Speaker 1 I was here for Black Friday. I remember it.

Speaker 1 I remember seeing it.

Speaker 1 Everybody, look at my commitment.

Speaker 1 But anyway, with this wet t-shirt contest, it was not a wet t-shirt contest. It was like literally,

Speaker 1 I think pretty much everybody in it was a stripper. So they really knew like how to get the crowd going.
They paid no attention to the judges whatsoever.

Speaker 1 I'm not a stripper, but I think I know how to get the crowd going.

Speaker 1 Dude, say no more, you got it. You think you got it? But it was weird.
Like, half the people in the pools were naked. It was like.

Speaker 1 The people in the pool had their, like, a lot of girls in the pool had their top off.

Speaker 1 These girls, like, they never even gave it a chat. There was like a catwalk, and then at the end of the catwalk was like a little like circular stage with a pole there.
Yeah, a place called Dante's.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Dante's. It's the fucking best fried shrimp on the island.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. They're like,

Speaker 1 who are you?

Speaker 1 Make that joke constantly.

Speaker 1 Dude, I wasn't supposed to be there. Because, like, there's, there's boys.
We're like, Matt, Matt's pretty young. He's a pretty young guy.

Speaker 1 King of Fantasy Fest is pretty young. Lori acted young.
And they're all like up and dancing and stuff. And like, you know, they're having a great time.

Speaker 1 It was like fucking 85 degrees. We were in the sun for no less than two straight hours judging these girls who like,

Speaker 1 like I said, never played to the judges, so like I hardly got to see anything.

Speaker 1 And then they were like up on the, and where the poll was was like too far away. My eyesight's not that great anymore.

Speaker 1 Girls, can you come closer?

Speaker 1 What'd you say? Hey, Beth, where's my glasses? Got a giant. God damn it.
Got your ear. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What are they saying?

Speaker 1 Well, they sound pretty. Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, and they're like, they come out so fast. They're like, all right, give them a grade.
And I'm like, at a certain point, I was like, I can't. Oh, you don't get numbers.
It's letter grades.

Speaker 1 No, it was number grades, like one through 10. Gotcha.
So after maybe the second one that I'm like, I can't see even see 10. I can't even see them.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I just started judging them on the poll, like how good they were on the poll or how good they were like doing their physical

Speaker 1 gyrations. There was no talent portion of the contest? No talent portion.
One girl fell in the pool, though. It was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 But it was like, yeah, I'm just like,

Speaker 1 this should be a bucket list item judging a wet t-shirt contest in Key West. And

Speaker 1 while I'm there, I was just like, whoa, this is so hot. It's just so fucking hot.
Hot.

Speaker 1 Like, this is so fucking hot.

Speaker 1 I wish.

Speaker 1 So hot and sweaty. It was so gross.
Nobody will look at me. I started feeling bad for you for a while because I was like, oh, fuck.
What did he get? Yeah, like you came down.

Speaker 1 He was standing with me for a little while. And he goes, it's too hot down here.

Speaker 1 I had a lot of glad handing to do.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I understand.

Speaker 1 In the shade. Yeah, in the VIP tent.

Speaker 1 The air-conditioned tent. Yeah, Yeah, it was very nice under that tent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was shocked that I didn't get burned. Like, my face didn't get all burned.
I was shocked. You were out in that sun for a long time.

Speaker 1 I was. Got some nice color to you.
Yeah. Got a little bit of sun.
All right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Vitamin D. Need that.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Oh, what do we got this week? So much shit. What did you do for Halloween, Q? Did you ever end up doing anything? I know you were feeling a little bit ill when you got back.
No,

Speaker 1 I mean, I knew I was going to get sick down there. You can't be around that many people who do not catch something.
So I just took it easy this year.

Speaker 1 I just stayed home and watched some fucking Frankenstein movies. Yeah.
Yeah. The old Hammer ones.
Oh, Hammer House of Heart. Yeah.
Peter Cushing as Frankenstein. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Grand Moff Tarkin. With those fucking high bangs.

Speaker 1 Did he have high bangs? Oh, Frankenstein? I wish the monster had high bangs. Well, the interesting thing about the hammer movies, I don't think I ever realized this before, is he.
Tatas. He played.

Speaker 1 No, no, Tatas.

Speaker 1 He played Victor Frankenstein in five movies, the same guy. And the monster is different in every movie.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Which is different different from how Universal did it, which is

Speaker 1 you don't find

Speaker 1 the Hammer ones a little too fucking British?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 because they're gory. He likes that shit, though.

Speaker 1 They're boring. They're gory.
Oh, it's like,

Speaker 1 their Frankenstein is not

Speaker 1 like, ah, friend. Like, it is like shambling corpses.
It's really fucked up. And I thought it was cool how everyone was a different monster.
I never realized that before. So that was my Halloween.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 And I opened my, you you know, every year I shut my gates and I keep the neighborhood kids out. Yeah.
This year I was like,

Speaker 1 I fucking, yeah,

Speaker 1 I kept the gate open. I got candy and I put like a little sound effect out and I invited them.
You let them take it as they want. I was like, let them ring on the doorbell.
Oh, you can let them know.

Speaker 1 This is it, man. Let's do it.
Let's do it. No, it's true.
You're really trying to be the king. You're trying to play at hand.

Speaker 1 Not a single, apparently I trained them all.

Speaker 1 Not a single person.

Speaker 1 and then and then I had at one point went to bed because I wasn't feeling well so I left the bucket out there and the raccoons got into the bucket and I woke up the next day and there was just fucking rappers all over my front yard.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh,

Speaker 1 this is what I get from

Speaker 1 emails about your raccoons. Oh, go on.

Speaker 1 They're telling me to warn you to don't play around with raccoons. They got all sorts of fucking diseases.
Yeah, I don't touch them.

Speaker 1 I don't beg you to not, you know, like, you know, let them crawl all over. No, I wouldn't do that.
Tip of their chin or anything. I appreciate it.
That's a good idea. I do appreciate that.

Speaker 1 I already am on the same wavelength.

Speaker 1 He's over there with rascal and shit on his shoulder.

Speaker 1 You don't want to get no rat worm. No, nothing like that.
I don't touch the raccoons. Yeah, we have a healthy.
So, yes, very nice of listeners to

Speaker 1 blow up my email

Speaker 1 with all the warnings about raccoons.

Speaker 1 Twitchy is still alive.

Speaker 1 Twitchy is still going. I saw him last night.
I gave him some peanuts and shit last night. He was chilling out.

Speaker 1 And he's getting fat and healthy. So he's all right.
He's just got like a little torch. Setting it up for the winter.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right on. Good for Twitchy.

Speaker 1 No, I know we were talking about our ailments. I had something happen to me.

Speaker 1 I was so fucking convinced it was like

Speaker 1 the end. Really? Yeah, it was fucked up.

Speaker 1 So for the first time in my life, I had,

Speaker 1 well, actually, actually, not true. I used to get this, I used to eat this real watered-down garlic bread at Denny's.
It was the best bread I ever had in my life, but it was barely any garlic on it.

Speaker 1 But I would, I would like, I would, it was so bad. I loved it so much, I would even give the stink eye to the kids if they ate, if they eat too much of the bread.

Speaker 1 I'd be like, you're not going to put another piece of bread.

Speaker 1 I was eyeing up that piece. It was so good, the garlic bread at Denny's.
And then I forgot about it for years.

Speaker 1 Well, my wife made garlic bread one night for the girls because, you know, Caitlin was home with, you know, she made a dinner, and I had garlic bread. And I was like, oh, it tastes good.

Speaker 1 I don't, I never really eat garlic, though, like in an abundance.

Speaker 1 So around,

Speaker 1 so I actually went in for like a third slice of bread. It tasted so good.
And then around two o'clock in the morning,

Speaker 1 I thought I was dying. Like, I never had, I mean, all of us have had acid reflux, right? Sure.
Have you ever had it come through a different orifice? No. Not even the one.

Speaker 1 I'm not talking about the one downstairs. It came through my nose.

Speaker 1 Oh, right. Just, you just had like, it just popped up through your nose.

Speaker 1 Like when you throw up, like, it'll come out of your nose sometime. No, it never.
That's never happened to me before. So, oh.
So I woke up with, it woke me up out of a sleep.

Speaker 1 And my nasal passages were on fire

Speaker 1 and I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on.

Speaker 1 I couldn't see.

Speaker 1 I thought I had a stroke.

Speaker 1 I was like, I thought I literally was dying. And I told my wife, I was like, something's wrong.
I go, I can't see.

Speaker 1 I can barely talk. And I can't breathe.

Speaker 1 And my nose is burning. My ears were on fire.
She's like, did you eat garlic bread?

Speaker 1 And she

Speaker 1 doesn't. So she just rolls over and she goes, you had garlic bread.

Speaker 1 I go, no, no, I'm dying. I'm blind.

Speaker 1 You did this to me.

Speaker 1 And I was like,

Speaker 1 do you want me to call somebody? And I was like, I don't know. I go, I don't know.
This is something's not right. And I'm going, this is not normal.
And then

Speaker 1 when it finally stopped burning, though, then the nasal passages just swelled.

Speaker 1 So it was like, there was no air getting it. You couldn't breathe at all.
Couldn't breathe at all. Like, I couldn't get air.

Speaker 1 And even though my in here was all like swollen, I had a horrible, nasty, allergic reaction to the garlic.

Speaker 1 I can't eat garlic. This is why I don't ever try new things.
Garlic is a drug.

Speaker 1 Spices. My body at this stage

Speaker 1 cannot handle new, introducing new things to it.

Speaker 1 It's like a my whole body's like a white blood cell. It just attacked the garlic.

Speaker 1 That's how I spun it.

Speaker 1 It's a post-Superman,

Speaker 1 pretty much.

Speaker 1 Walking around blindly, shit dripping out of his nose.

Speaker 1 I'm healthy. I'm better than human.

Speaker 1 Would you say I'm healthy?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it was scary. I was convinced something was seriously wrong.
I've never felt like that in my entire life.

Speaker 1 Edgar has it. Edgar went to the hospital for four days just recently because of that.
Oh, really?

Speaker 1 No, because he has a hiatal hernia. So sometimes when he eats, it'll get like caught in it.

Speaker 1 And so he can really like, he should be sticking to like liquids and stuff and like yogurt and shit like that. But he had a piece of chicken, man.
That was all it took. Four days in the hospital.

Speaker 1 Got Edgar in the hospital with that. Got Pam in the hospital with heart trouble.
Got my sister fucking has a busted knee. She needs knee replacement.
You got me with this fucking shoulder.

Speaker 1 You got Darren with his back. Johnson's are fucking bred from a poor stock.
I think it's everywhere, dude. Yeah.
We just get it.

Speaker 1 Is that it? It just.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because Mary Beth is fine. Sage is fine.
She's fine. God damn it.

Speaker 1 You're right. Ron is getting old, dude.
Goddamn. Yeah.
I mean, we need to rest up.

Speaker 1 That's why there's no Black Friday. We'll all be rested up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we got it.

Speaker 1 We got to rest up for the new year. It's so sad.

Speaker 1 Oh, well, I started reading for, remember I promised for

Speaker 1 iBuy Comics for this year? Yes. I started reading the entire Frank Miller verse of From Batman Year One, All-Star Batman, then Dark Knight Returns in the two sequels.
Awesome.

Speaker 1 So that's going to be one of them. Is that one book or is that digital?

Speaker 1 It's digital. I own them already on my iPad.
So, man, varying quality. Yeah.
All right. So I think we should break them up into four episodes.
We do year one

Speaker 1 as an episode, then Dark Knight Returns as an episode. And then, I don't know, All-Star Batman is rough.
It is rough.

Speaker 1 I mean, the art is amongst the most gorgeous art ever, but it is fuck. I forgot how rough it was.
Yeah. I reread also, I threw in there Superman Year One as well that he did.

Speaker 1 Frank Miller's, and he did that in 2019, and it's supposedly set in the same university. I didn't know about this.
I was out of comics. He did a Superman year one.

Speaker 1 He did Superman Year One and Superman joined the Navy as a kid and stuff like that. Like, it was a different take.
It was better than I remember.

Speaker 1 And I remember the Dark Knight Strikes again. There's three.

Speaker 1 There's

Speaker 1 Master Race. Again, Master Race, but then he did two one-shots after that as well.
Okay. Based on.
But I remember Strikes Again was the very, like, was a very

Speaker 1 first time a usage of like a lot of AI, or not AI, but digital artwork from him.

Speaker 1 Oh, the backgrounds and stuff. Yeah, yeah.
There was a lot of that in it.

Speaker 1 Okay, cool. People will be happy to hear that.
I'm happy. Yeah.
All-stars are a rough read, dude. It's rough.

Speaker 1 But worth it for the artwork. The artwork is flawless.
It's just

Speaker 1 a master. Jim Lee.
Yeah, it's just great.

Speaker 1 But yeah, so I'm gearing up to

Speaker 1 actually fulfill a promise for once in my life.

Speaker 1 I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 And that's only available on Patreon. Yes, Patreon.
Patreon.com.

Speaker 1 Yes. Go check it out.
You can see the still see the Halloween special, which was amongst one of the best Sunday Jeff shows ever, I think.

Speaker 1 The Abbott and Costello. Oh, yeah, The Slasher School with Brian Rupp.
Yep. Rupert.
Professor Rupp. Professor Rupp.
Rupp.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we did a breakdown as if we went to college and took a course on Aben Costello meet Frankenstein. That's cool.
And he was the

Speaker 1 professor, and he, you know, he graded everybody. Right.
And the goal was to become the teacher's pet.

Speaker 1 Is he a historian on it?

Speaker 1 He's a teacher. But does he, he knows that for a while?

Speaker 1 He's gone to film school. Do you ever read behind the scenes on that a little bit? Did you get into it? How they didn't want to make it? So, like, they would just be playing poker and shit.

Speaker 1 And they were like, fuck you. We're not filming today.
We're playing poker. Yeah, wild.
They seem like they're real dickheads. Like, like, behind the scenes.
Who, Abbott and Costello? Yeah. No.

Speaker 1 Costello was a tough customer, bro. Costello was the one? Yeah,

Speaker 1 he was the one that was trying to take money out of Abbott's pocket and shit like that.

Speaker 1 He's like, I should get paid more.

Speaker 1 Shit like that. But, but you went to talk about a tough guy that he, his son drowned in the pool.
Oh, yeah. And that night he did his radio show show as planned.
I mean, that guy's a fucking

Speaker 1 pretty tough. That's insanity.
That's insanity.

Speaker 1 I see Sage floating in the pool, and then it's like, oh, shit, we got to do Telescope.

Speaker 1 What do I do here? I got to read Dark Knight Returns by tonight.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I went to go visit his grave again when I was in L.A.
last time. Oh, yeah.
I popped in. Yeah.
He's not buried in New Jersey, being a Jersey guy? No, he's in a

Speaker 1 mausoleum in New Jersey under his original Crystillo. Oh, wow.
Yeah. I like to pop in every once in a while.
Speaking of popping in, I almost popped by your house the other day. Oh, yeah?

Speaker 1 I almost did. And then I was like, I don't know.
I didn't know if the pop-bys were still acceptable. Plus, I knew you weren't feeling that well.
Well, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, you surely could have texted me and be like, I would have been like, yeah, come by, man. Because Mary Beth and I, we went to the doctor and then we were like, well, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 Like, let's go out and get lunch. And then we're like, hey, let's go to Red Robin.
We haven't been to Red Robin in the longest time, so we're up in that area. Oh, right, Woodbridge.
Red Robin.

Speaker 1 I texted Walt immediately.

Speaker 1 Doors chained. Yeah, this is old news to Walt, but it was new news to me.
Chained up. Yeah, chained up.
The sign taken down, everything.

Speaker 1 And so we're driving around looking for an alternate place to eat, and I'm like, I'm looking at the bridge, and I'm like, I should just go to Q's house and say hi. I would have loved it.

Speaker 1 I mean, as long as next time, next time. Yeah, at the very least, drop a text and be like, we're in the area.
You want to

Speaker 1 hang out?

Speaker 1 You're not, you know, someone, you don't like, but if he doesn't drop a text and he's just at the front door, you're not like, but you're not like, you're not swimming. Like, what the hell's going on?

Speaker 1 Brian, Brian. What the fuck's he doing out there? Hey, talk to him.

Speaker 1 Let that gate open.

Speaker 1 Got any candy left? I'm like a raccoon. No,

Speaker 1 I just do that from time to time, and it never bothers me. And Brian's like my brother, so I would be like, Yeah, come on, Bobby.
It would have been great.

Speaker 1 All right, so the Popeye's still acceptable. Popeye, you know what? Remember, like when you were a kid, that was the only way to go over and see somebody.
Be like, I don't know, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 You had the cake, you had the coffee cake ready just in case. Yeah, the old days.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, I'm mainly just sitting home writing these days, you know? Yeah. It's like, yeah.
Good for you, man. You wrap the season.

Speaker 1 They want to do more.

Speaker 1 We'll see about it.

Speaker 1 You know?

Speaker 1 I don't know. We'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I haven't answered the email as of yet. I'm going to kick it to next year.
We'll see. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's getting bought again. Like, it'll be the sixth fucking owner.
I'm like, all right, dude, I want to.

Speaker 1 When's enough? enough? Yeah. You know?

Speaker 1 God forbid what happened to us should happen to you. Somebody new comes, some new exec comes in, like, I don't like this shit.

Speaker 1 You know, you're out on your ass. The executives that come in now are fucking, they were 15 when the show started.
That's true. So nobody comes in with that attitude.

Speaker 1 Everybody comes in and they're like, we don't want to fuck with it. Just do what you do.
Just please keep doing it.

Speaker 1 But,

Speaker 1 you know, we're all getting older. And at what point are we going to start doing

Speaker 1 nothing or anything? But we'll see. I don't know.
I always worry about the crew. But anyway, I don't even know why we're.
But yeah, so I'm home and ready to down to clown, bro.

Speaker 1 Just home watching fucking horror films. I could have come over and watch a little hammer.
Let's do it. Did you watch it? Did you watch Welcome to Dairy? I didn't because I didn't like the movie.

Speaker 1 How's the TV series? I didn't. The movie didn't click with me.
Right. The first episode did click with me.
The second episode.

Speaker 1 The second episode has a great idea in it

Speaker 1 that doesn't fit it, but it's a great idea.

Speaker 1 But then the other part is like, turns out that despite a clown living in the sewers, killing children, the real monster all along is racism.

Speaker 1 The second episode. Yeah, so it's a little bit like, oh, okay.
What about the clown? Anybody anything about the clown, guys? Is he a racist? Is there anything going on with that clown?

Speaker 1 But there's such a fucking

Speaker 1 good idea. I'm going to say it, so stop listening if you don't want to do it, if you don't want to hear it.

Speaker 1 But apparently, the idea behind behind it is the government knows about Pennywise and they're trying to figure out a way to capture and weaponize him against the Russians.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, that is a fucking great idea for a movie, but it

Speaker 1 doesn't really fit. And they pull in Dick Hollerin from Shining.
Shining Holly? Dante? I'm not so sneaky? Snoogards?

Speaker 1 No, Scott Man Cruthers, remembering

Speaker 1 his character as a young man is

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 they're using him to hunt

Speaker 1 Pennywise. I mean, haven't we seen this plot line, though, of like a powerful being in the government thinking, like, well, we have to capture it so we can use it against our enemies?

Speaker 1 Is that Stranger Things?

Speaker 1 I mean, it's any number of

Speaker 1 movies or television shows. I like the idea, but I just don't know how it fits with right.

Speaker 1 It seems like, yeah, is Pennywise a

Speaker 1 real man or is it like a demonic clown? I can't remember.

Speaker 1 There's different things, right? He like fell from the sky.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I thought Pennywise is established as an alien.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's an alien.
Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or a supernatural creature. But yeah.
He's like E.T.?

Speaker 1 It's like an angel demon type thing. He's not from Earth.
He fell to Earth or something. Oh, he fell from heaven.
Not from Earth. I don't know.
It's not clear. He couldn't.

Speaker 1 Some readings are he's an alien. Wow.
That blows my mind.

Speaker 1 So he doesn't like someone on his planet. He looks like a clown.
It's like clowns are about to be.

Speaker 1 He shows you what you're scared of the most. Oh, okay.
Yeah, so he takes different forms. Gotcha.
Right.

Speaker 1 But the acting is fucking cool. Like,

Speaker 1 it's only two episodes in, and the second episode was really heavy on

Speaker 1 society ills as opposed to killer clowns, which is disappointing. Right.
I just want to see killer clowns.

Speaker 1 If I want society crumbling, I'll read the news. Yeah.
I'll go on social media. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But anyway, so

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 That's what's going on.

Speaker 1 These are my days, man. Just watching horror-themed things.
This is what I do. This is it.
This is something I wanted to talk to Walt about.

Speaker 1 I know what it's going to be. I can almost guarantee it.
You already know what it is? Is it Tom Brady news? Tom Brady, yeah.

Speaker 1 I knew it. Like, I got a million texts about it.
I was like, I guarantee you, it's going to be spoken about on TSD, so I'm not going to talk about it now, he said. Right.
Yeah, I saw this.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady reveals his beloved dog is a clone of his late pet Lua. I saw this.
This was sent to me. No, I didn't even know that they could do it.
How do you feel about Tom Brady playing God?

Speaker 1 Or at least in concert with people who are playing God. He's played it on the field and showed that he's God.

Speaker 1 It's only natural that

Speaker 1 when he's not on the field, he's going to play it

Speaker 1 again.

Speaker 1 You know, I knew when I saw this story break, I was stunned that he's the one that broke it. Well, he owns part of the company.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And I guess that's why he's breaking the news, because he wants it to help his company.

Speaker 2 Well, this is the same company that that supposedly reintroduced the dire wolf about a year ago. But then they just purchased another company that was specifically pet.

Speaker 1 Well, they purchased the company. Remember, I had Benjamin Katz DNA preserved? That's the company, the one that Tom Brady just bought.

Speaker 1 And I just paid the bill for them to keep his DNA for another year. It's like $120 a year.
Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like I said, that could be $120,000 or $12,000 less. Like the way these companies operate.
$12,000, I'd say a prayer and kiss them. Goodbye.
Yeah, it's like $120 for the year to keep his DNA viable.

Speaker 1 So my personal feelings, and I heard it, I remember saying, just in passing the Giddam, I was like,

Speaker 1 this is a man who does not care about

Speaker 1 outside noise because he is going to get

Speaker 1 hammered.

Speaker 1 Like he is going to get eviscerated on social media for doing this. Why would he?

Speaker 1 As a cold, inhuman monster who's playing God, like you said, when there's so many dogs that need homes, yada, yada, yada. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's not going to be the same dog.

Speaker 1 Yes, we, but, and I put myself in Tom Brady's shoes. If I had unlimited resources.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All your dogs would still be alive.

Speaker 1 I go, I don't know if I would not do this, though, even though I'm not under the

Speaker 1 under the illusion that it would be the same dog. Yeah.

Speaker 1 A little bit of me would have, would find a little bit of comfort in seeing that dog young again, though. That's why I did it for Benjamin.
Like, that's, that's why I did it. It was.

Speaker 1 If they go all pet cemetery on you, yeah, but it was more about

Speaker 1 because, you know, I love him so much. It was more about finding comfort in that there was a piece of him

Speaker 1 still alive in some way.

Speaker 1 And then there was something to, I, you know, everybody thinks this about their pets, but particularly with Benjamin Cat, I thought he was so special and so beyond any other animal I'd ever met that it seemed there was like a fitting sci-fi cap to his life that on top of everything that he experienced, he also is now still alive innocent in a scientific lab somewhere.

Speaker 1 And it helped me. But, you know, honestly, like, if I had done that, I wouldn't have got Boris.
And Boris is currently the love of my life. So it's like, you know.
Right.

Speaker 1 There's lessons to be learned. What Tom should have did was he should have announced that he cloned his dog.
Yeah. But then he also adopted two other dogs.
Great move. Right.

Speaker 1 And then you're like, come at me now, motherfucker. Yeah.
Well, this dog isn't.

Speaker 1 What do you got? You're like, come on. I'm playing chess, asshole.
This dog was initially adopted.

Speaker 2 That's what gets me. It was initially adopted in 2000, whatever.
So

Speaker 2 he did technically rescue a dog.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's a man who has seen his family blow up.

Speaker 1 And that's a man who loves control. That's a man who wants to be able to

Speaker 1 move the chess pieces. It makes sense to me that he'd be like, well,

Speaker 1 I'm going to take, I'm going to checkmate death. Right.

Speaker 1 If I can, and I can, because I have this company. I have the money.
I have the means. I'm sure they did it for him for free, right? Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's the other thing, too.

Speaker 1 If they were like, because it's like 30 grand to clone a cat, which is why it's another reason I was like, like, no fucking way.

Speaker 1 But if they were like, if they heard this and they're like, hey, you know, we'll give you one for free. If you're at a party and somehow you rub elbows with Brady.
Yeah, I might be.

Speaker 1 I can't say that I wouldn't do it. And you mentioned how pro

Speaker 1 you know, pro-cloning and Brady we were on the episode. And remain.
And remain. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And we're ready to take the fire. All the criticism.
We don't care.

Speaker 1 I mean, you're going to take fire, especially a guy like that. You're taking fire anyway.
Well, you're going to take a lot of fire if you did the cat, though, too. But I'm taking fire.

Speaker 1 It's like it's what do you do?

Speaker 1 You take fire for lesser things than getting a beloved cat back. And by the way, like, you know what? You couldn't even use your AI to be like, hey, Staten Island has a sister country.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I made the mistake. I broke my rule.
I went online and, you know, I got slapped for it. So I deserve it

Speaker 1 for opening social media.

Speaker 1 You'd love to be kept in check, don't you? That's the best. I'm just, I'm so glad.

Speaker 1 You just say that people are out there keeping you in check. It's the best.

Speaker 1 You tend to misstep and you must want somebody there to tell you when you are. And you always are if you look at social media.
Somehow you always are.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's hard for me to

Speaker 1 be upset or anger in any way, shape, or form for Brady doing that because in the same

Speaker 1 instance, I would too probably do the same thing, even though I know it wouldn't be the same dog. I know it.
It wouldn't have the same personality. But there's still,

Speaker 1 like you said, there's still something there that will give you some level of comfort. For sure.

Speaker 2 And you're raising them from infancy. So, like, you know, you're

Speaker 2 learning a new dog as you would with a puppy or a kitten.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
And I, and I'm for me too, it's like,'cause I had adopted Benjamin when he was older. I never saw him as a kitten.
So there was a part of that, too. Me and Teddy.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I would get to see Teddy as a as a puppy. Right.
Which makes more sense for you because Benjamin was just a black cat, which looks like every other fucking black cat.

Speaker 1 So But yeah, for like the specific coloring and

Speaker 1 spotting on them, yeah. Now it's illegal to clone a human, right?

Speaker 1 Yes. I believe by international like decree or something.
There's got to be some country where there's no law. It's done.
It's done. China, you think they haven't cloned anybody by now?

Speaker 1 I think somebody's really foolish if they believe that it hasn't been done.

Speaker 1 I too have to lean on that some countries doing it. I don't know what the benefit is of it.
None.

Speaker 2 I wouldn't even think a country. I would think just some rich motherfucker out there.

Speaker 1 Why do you think it's a good thing? Like a Jeff Bezos?

Speaker 2 Because you would have to have a lab in secrecy and be able to pay off the people enough that they wouldn't leak it.

Speaker 1 You don't think that, well, like, how big of a secret lab do you think you need? Do you think that somebody couldn't rent an office here in the Airport Plaza into it?

Speaker 1 Nobody would know.

Speaker 2 Well, you'd still need to employ the people.

Speaker 1 Right. Okay.

Speaker 1 You would need employees to not

Speaker 1 leak it. Yeah.
Yeah. And you got all these nosy people like the yarn lady being like, what's all that medical equipment you're bringing in there?

Speaker 1 Did I hear a baby crying? We've got the celebrity of an embryo in our box. Is this yours? Oh, that's not a baby.
That's 0128.

Speaker 1 My new pride and joy. He's my new grandson.
0149.

Speaker 1 148.

Speaker 1 He's a little, he doesn't do much. 0148.
Hey.

Speaker 1 He's more able to

Speaker 1 throw that out of

Speaker 1 it.

Speaker 1 Which one? The first one or the second one?

Speaker 1 Both.

Speaker 1 It's on the list to be fixed.

Speaker 1 Get to it about that. Get it right with C.

Speaker 1 Do you have a list now? Get them? A list to fix your maladies, your different ailments? Yeah, we're getting there. Yeah.
Oh, my God. Yeah.

Speaker 1 How long is that list? It looks like a scroll.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. The immediate one is the no-walking thing.

Speaker 1 That's the first one. Yeah,

Speaker 1 we're the only other ones. It's giving up the drinking, though.
The album is. Well, my muscle accent, so.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's counter-indicate it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It makes it even more fun, though, let me tell you.
Oh,

Speaker 1 it worked. It looked like you were on a blast, buddy.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got a feeling, though, that

Speaker 1 once this is all over, you probably won't be drinking ever again.

Speaker 1 That's my guess. You think he'll be like, why?

Speaker 1 I feel better. I feel much better.

Speaker 1 I'm going to give up the booze.

Speaker 1 No? Do you think you'll eventually go back to

Speaker 1 slow? Maybe slow. Slow.
Yeah. Not a six-pack then a night? No.
Okay. That's good.

Speaker 1 That's a good thing. I cut way, way back on the volcano.
Oh, really? Yeah. What happened to you guys? Your volcano.
It's getting old, bro. It's just like literally, like.
Yes. What am I going to do?

Speaker 1 So, how many, how many, what's slowing down? Like, if you did the volcano, let's say four nights a week, it's down to two?

Speaker 1 Uh,

Speaker 1 yeah, maybe like, maybe like three, three, just a night, you know, you sit on the couch and stuff like that. Um,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 probably more nights not then, for sure. Do you feel better?

Speaker 1 No, I don't feel any different whatsoever. Yeah, because I never did, did so much that I was like

Speaker 1 stumbling around, but you know what I mean? It was just bad habits developed during the pandemic, really fucking

Speaker 1 really did it. But

Speaker 1 yeah, I don't feel much different different now. I certainly don't feel better.
No, okay, yeah, then what's the point then, right? That's what I'm saying,

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, boys,

Speaker 1 fall always feels like a reset.

Speaker 1 Giddam needs to go full factor.

Speaker 1 you're when you talk to frank that i don't get the i don't get the skinny in what you're telling frank but he tells me you have too many excuses why you're not eating healthy

Speaker 2 You know, I'm going to be wearing a hospital gown soon, so I was thinking about investing in some new Miundis.

Speaker 1 You should, yeah, so that people aren't like, oh, gross.

Speaker 1 Has anyone here else here realized that gift-giving season is already here? If you haven't started your list yet, don't panic. Miundis has your back and your butt.

Speaker 1 Make it simple to give a gift that actually fits literally and emotionally. I can't imagine giving underwear to anybody for Christmas, though.
I did for Eric.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I gave him some Miundis, just like the monthly, the monthly, yeah, ones that I had already worn. I was like,

Speaker 1 I know you're skinnier than me, but I trend. Although it's in the comp ones,

Speaker 1 no, no, no.

Speaker 1 I'm re-gifting me on these to people.

Speaker 1 Gave some to my sister, gave some to Sage.

Speaker 2 I mean, as a child, I didn't like getting underwear and socks. Now, like, it's something I'd look forward to.

Speaker 1 Really? Nothing beats a new pair of socks. Oh, yeah.
I love a new pair of socks, man.

Speaker 1 How are you getting your socks on nowadays?

Speaker 1 Tough. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's tough to lift my legs.

Speaker 1 You might have to call in a nurse, right?

Speaker 2 I was thinking about getting one of those things that you see advertised in the catalogs.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 For like real old people, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 like a real

Speaker 1 ladle. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 It's really only, for some reason, it's only my one sock that I have trouble putting on, which is it's it's it's not the really weak leg, it's the good leg, but it's the toughest one to get a sock onto.

Speaker 1 Jeez, isn't your backup plan to this to go back to the racetrack and direct traffic again?

Speaker 1 Yeah, one day.

Speaker 1 Don't you think

Speaker 1 you got to be able to stand for hours for that to do that? Yeah, that's why I'm with wacky dance moves and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, I can't really dance much anymore. So,

Speaker 2 with this, but like I said, hopefully, it'll figure the doctors will figure out what it is.

Speaker 1 I've got a team working. Yeah, you need it, man.
You need it for sure.

Speaker 1 There's something weirdly magical about magic outfits during the holidays, and Miundi's has taken that to the next level with their batch me collection, whether it's matching undies with your partner, coordinating PJs for the family photo, or getting festive with your friend group.

Speaker 1 Miundi's makes it fun, easy, and ridiculously cozy. Their holiday prints are adorable.

Speaker 1 Their fabric is next level soft, and the best part, you'll actually want to be caught in matching loungewear all season long. I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of talking points here, but we've already talked about Miyundis quite a bit.

Speaker 2 What is there left to say about Miyundis?

Speaker 1 I mean, it's been years now.

Speaker 1 If I have not convinced you to buy a pair of Miyundis and try them out by now,

Thank you for listening to all that. I know it was a lot.

Speaker 1 I have something

Speaker 1 request from a listener.

Speaker 1 Now, TSD is responsible for at least

Speaker 1 one,

Speaker 1 possibly two marriages.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 I know of one definite. I think I know one.

Speaker 1 There was a proposal here. I don't know if that proposal ever made its way to.
Are you counting Jimmy the hair guy in this?

Speaker 1 No, I'm not counting him. No, I'm not counting him.
So that would be three. But I don't know if I would.
Well, me and Mary Beth. Oh, by God, that's the be, yeah, that's the be-all end-all right there.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 2 we've had proposals in 35, 65, and here, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, we have another request. There's an aunt who

Speaker 1 asked me

Speaker 1 if it would be possible for us to propose to his wife, who is a 13%er,

Speaker 1 on his behalf

Speaker 1 while they listen to an episode. They listen to episodes in bed.
Oh,

Speaker 1 and so right now,

Speaker 1 there's a 13% are wondering: is it me? Are they talking about me? Am I going to be proposed to? Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Why is he looking at me like that?

Speaker 1 Came over. Versus hand.

Speaker 1 What's your feeling on listener marriages?

Speaker 1 You know, it depends on age, I guess. We don't really have a lot of info here.
If he was 23, I'd be like, oh. No, I'm just in general.
I'll shut the episode off right now. Just in general,

Speaker 1 do you find any warmth in your heart

Speaker 1 to be somehow, in a small way, be a part of bringing two people together? Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1 What if it doesn't last, though? Do you feel any

Speaker 1 sort of responsibility? I'm assuming it's not going to last. Yeah, statistically, it probably won't last.
I don't think it'll last, but it's nice to be part of

Speaker 1 love. And what if the listeners were like, well, if the episodes were funnier like they used to be, maybe we'd still be fucking married.

Speaker 1 It wouldn't shock me at all.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm guessing you got an email.

Speaker 1 You're not a mom.

Speaker 1 My client wants a divorce because TSD is no longer funny.

Speaker 1 Irreconcilable differences.

Speaker 1 You know, you live by TSD, you die by TSD. I don't have to tell you.

Speaker 1 Well, here is another proposal, another potential marriage,

Speaker 1 all because of this podcast. And I guess if I say

Speaker 1 the aunt and the 13%er's name, if I reveal it right now,

Speaker 1 it'll keep

Speaker 1 her out of suspense.

Speaker 1 You want to know what her name is? Absolutely. Or do you want to or the suitor is? I'd rather know her name first.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nikki Manti.

Speaker 1 Nikki Mannet. Nikki Mannet.
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Manti? Is that me?

Speaker 1 Is he talking about me?

Speaker 1 And the suitor's name is Joshua Jackson. So now she's able to narrow it down.
Yeah, so

Speaker 1 he also asked

Speaker 1 if she's, you know, he doesn't know exactly what she's going to say, so if he could get

Speaker 1 just a bar of whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay

Speaker 1 in case she said no for him to listen to. So, I mean, would you mind singing that? Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay.

Speaker 1 I don't remember you said that like that. I didn't have any.

Speaker 1 I'm a little choked up here.

Speaker 1 I don't remember there being another verse. I thought it was just whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay.
That's a whole song. You wrote a song? No.
You were singing a song to horses? A whole song?

Speaker 1 I thought it was

Speaker 1 okay. It was just.
Oh, I thought you wanted the song.

Speaker 1 Who's the song by? Is our popular?

Speaker 2 LED sound system.

Speaker 1 I sang it at Grammar School. You just ruined the proposal, you fucking idiot.
Sorry.

Speaker 1 You know what? He asked for Giddam's involvement. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He knew what he was going to do.

Speaker 1 It says here: when I point to you, you sing, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's okay.
Just that line. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's okay.
There you go. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's okay. All right.

Speaker 1 So hopefully, LED sound system? That's a band?

Speaker 2 It was that guy.

Speaker 2 I sang it on stage. It was either Bell Works or Grammar System.

Speaker 1 So it was one of the songs. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you did. I don't remember anything anymore.

Speaker 1 It's too much volcano. Stop trying.
You're going to start remembering. It's going to start coming back.

Speaker 1 A lot of things are going to come back to you. You're going to be like, oh, shit, give me that volcano.

Speaker 1 But we hope that

Speaker 1 this is a joyous occasion right now for both of you guys. I hope she's crying tears of joy.
Yeah. And she's not horrified that

Speaker 1 a podcast just proposed to her. Yeah, and the most awkward and fucking

Speaker 1 stumbled upon your patient.

Speaker 1 But it's the most TESD thing, right, isn't it? I think for it to go this way. What's more awkward, like a public proposal or a podcast proposal?

Speaker 1 I think a public proposal is the most awkward.

Speaker 2 Someone could say no.

Speaker 1 I used to love a Yankee Stadium when somebody would propose on the Jumbotron, and people would be like, No, don't do it. Don't do it.
I'd be like, Why would you do this?

Speaker 1 I remember we were at a bar. It was the one,

Speaker 1 what was it?

Speaker 1 Coyote Ugly. The one that I guess it was based on.
Remember me and you went to that bar?

Speaker 1 It was so

Speaker 1 fucking long ago. Yeah, it was in Manhattan.
All the bra's were hanging up. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. And these guys were getting,

Speaker 1 this guy and this girl were getting married, and they were all happy about it. And Q is drunk, and he's also in his 20s.

Speaker 1 What are you doing?

Speaker 1 Yes, you never saw somebody try to talk somebody else out of him.

Speaker 1 Bro, bro, bro, bro.

Speaker 1 Look around.

Speaker 1 Eyes closed like that. Yeah, yeah.
He was out of it. He was out of it.

Speaker 1 It was funny as shit.

Speaker 1 I wonder what happened to those two. I wonder if he, in the divorce proceeding years later, was like,

Speaker 1 I should have listened to that guy.

Speaker 1 He didn't seem that wise in the moment. You seem really drunk.

Speaker 1 Should we tell Nikki that

Speaker 1 she's got to sign up, Preenup?

Speaker 1 Well, we don't know their financials. Maybe he's the one that needs to be done.
He hasn't hasn't requested it. I'm just saying, you know, it shouldn't be part of that.

Speaker 1 It's cleaner for it, bro. It made sense cleaner later on, you know?

Speaker 1 Like, it takes all the acrimony and anger out later on. Do it now when you're in love.
This way, later on, it's easy. But it also plants the seeds, though, of like distrust.

Speaker 1 Well, not distrust, but lack of faith.

Speaker 1 Sure.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 true, but

Speaker 1 you're almost being penalized for being realistic. It's like, we're in love right now, sure, and this is all great, but it might not work out.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's reality.

Speaker 1 Congratulations, Vicki.

Speaker 1 What's his name? What's his name? Joshua Chucks. Joshua Chuck.

Speaker 1 Send her out of the room for a second.

Speaker 1 This is what I would do. I would be like, look,

Speaker 1 my family has

Speaker 1 a secret fortune.

Speaker 1 And one of the rules of if I'm ever to

Speaker 1 inherit this money,

Speaker 1 one of the rules is that I have to have a prenup. I don't want it.

Speaker 1 Hate it. I hate the idea, but my family's lawyer says that

Speaker 1 we're disqualified from getting that money one day if I don't get a prenup when I'm married. Sure.
So I get disqualified for it. We don't need that money.
We got love. We'll live on love.

Speaker 1 Well, that means that my fucking sister's getting all that money. We don't live on that blood money.
No, if he doesn't have a family fortune, at what point does she find out? Well, then it's too late.

Speaker 1 It's too late.

Speaker 1 Then you just come in like five years later and be like, could you believe this? My fucking dad blew all the money.

Speaker 1 But you were locked in. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 She's protected. That's the thing.
She's protected, which is nice. You know, we got to protect the women.
I've always said. Absolutely.
Yeah. I remember you saying that.
Say all the time.

Speaker 1 That's my license plate.

Speaker 1 Well, Ken Asai, congratulations. Hopefully, this has gone over

Speaker 1 supremely well, and you guys are

Speaker 1 hugging and screaming and

Speaker 1 tears of joy and

Speaker 1 she's calling her mom right now to tell her. Have some engagement sex first.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Then call.

Speaker 1 Yeah, then make the call. Yeah.
When you're all out of breath, sweating and shit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was going to say just wait till the marriage, though, like a traditional, but

Speaker 1 that's another perspective.

Speaker 2 Like Tebo did.

Speaker 1 Tebow's a pretty good guy, huh? I'm constantly seeing shit about him in the news, like helping out little kids and doing like

Speaker 1 real deal.

Speaker 1 That's why people hate him. Because

Speaker 1 he is actually what he says he is. Right.

Speaker 1 That just angers people.

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Why? Because they're pieces of shit and they can't stand to see someone who

Speaker 1 lives it and breathes it 24/7.

Speaker 1 It's a smack in the face.

Speaker 1 A Karen lost a lawsuit. Boo? a Karen well

Speaker 1 that was the whole thing

Speaker 1 uh I play America

Speaker 1 in freehold uh in Edison well it might be in freehold let's see Edison yep yep yep

Speaker 1 lawsuit dismissed by Edison woman claims I play America did nothing to stop patrons from calling her a Karen

Speaker 1 The state appellate this is what the courts are tied up with okay all right just so you know the state appellate court has upheld a court's ruling to dismiss a lawsuit from an Edison woman claiming I Play American Freehold was negligent in preventing patrons from calling her a Karen.

Speaker 1 She was at I Play America with her two children, had been given access to the Speedway go-kart ride on several occasions.

Speaker 1 When she tried to go on one last time, an employee denied her access and claimed she did not meet the height requirements for the ride.

Speaker 1 Now, I guess she must be very short, is what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 The lawsuit claims a plaintiff was told by a manager that she could not use the go-karts, but her 10-year-old daughter would be allowed. So I I guess she's smaller than her 10-year-old daughter.

Speaker 1 A line formed behind her, and children began yelling at the plaintiff, calling her a white bitch and a Karen. Now, why doesn't she care about the white bitch part?

Speaker 1 She only cares about being called a Karen.

Speaker 1 Then it goes on to define what Karen was. The plaintiff was terribly humiliated, embarrassed by this, according to the lawsuit.

Speaker 1 She claimed that I play American employees, did nothing to prevent or attempt to eliminate these discriminatory comments from occurring.

Speaker 1 Now, the one thing I agree with is like the white bitch stuff.

Speaker 1 But that's the only thing that I can point at that she has like discriminatory comments, you know.

Speaker 1 I guess, but she's white and she's a bitch. I mean, you know, what are you going to do? And it seems she's a Karen.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 The court concluded defendant did not breach any duty owed to plaintiff that could not rise to the level to support a negligence claim.

Speaker 1 So you can go around calling people Karens. Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's any shit they can do about it. Reminds me of something that I had meant to say a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 Every once in a while, I have to say this. It's come up again.
I'm not going to get into it.

Speaker 1 I do not talk to people online. If somebody is telling you that they are me and talking to you online, they are not me.
There are no exceptions to this.

Speaker 1 If somebody's telling you, no, you're the exception, I have to say that on Telem, Steve Dave.

Speaker 1 That person is scamming you. There are zero exceptions.
I do not talk to anybody. I do not need your money.
I do not want your money. Do not ever.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.

Speaker 1 We want the money. Do not ever, ever, ever, ever send anybody money claiming to be me.
This has got to be the fucking fourth time I'm saying this. I can't believe I still have to say this.

Speaker 1 There is no exception to this. There are zero exceptions.
If someone is saying that there's an exception,

Speaker 1 it's a proof that they're lying. There are zero exceptions.
I do not talk to anybody online. I do not need your money.
I can attest to that.

Speaker 1 My money is not locked up in a fucking lawsuit or anything that I need 50 bucks from you.

Speaker 1 Like, do not ever, under any circumstances, think that you are talking to me online. It is not happening.

Speaker 2 But you messaged me and said you need money to clone your cat.

Speaker 1 This is not a joke. I'm telling you, man, I can't believe this is still happening.
It's weird that people continue to get scammed with this stuff. I saw one with Kiana Reeves and some lady.

Speaker 1 It's shocking. And yeah.
And the anger directed towards me

Speaker 1 is wild.

Speaker 1 But, you know, respectfully, I'm sorry that

Speaker 1 anybody's got sucked into this, but there are zero exceptions. I do not ever talk to anybody online.
Please, please, please believe that. Thank you.

Speaker 2 It astounded me how long it took stores to start putting up warning signs. For like people to like, you know, yes, you don't owe the IRS money.
You don't have to pay it with gift cards.

Speaker 1 Like near the right.

Speaker 1 Is that what's going on? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. It's been going on for

Speaker 2 somebody who was scammed by that.

Speaker 1 And oh, I mean, the signs. They're actually putting signs up there.
Yeah, yeah. It's wild.

Speaker 2 But it's like, yeah, like, why wouldn't you do that so much earlier?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I know it's not going to stop people.

Speaker 2 Hopefully, it stops people from doing it because it's just

Speaker 1 someone. It's sad, and the people who are getting sucked into it, I do feel bad for them, but like, it's got nothing to do with me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a level of, like, you can't even begin to imagine the mindset of someone who's like,

Speaker 1 holy shit, he's he's talking to me. Holy shit, he needs 200 bucks.
He needs $200 from me.

Speaker 1 Or the first lady that needed $13,000 because your taxes were in arrears. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's sad. It's sad.
But like, you just,

Speaker 1 so PSA on that one. There's zero exceptions.

Speaker 1 Absolutely zero exceptions. And anybody saying that's an exception is a surefire sign that they're lying.
Hmm. How come nobody ever pretended that I was in love with them?

Speaker 1 Not big enough?

Speaker 1 Even during the heyday of comic book man? Never, this never happened to me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe if we had gotten that tenth season, what was it, ninth season? Eighth season, seven, or eighth season, maybe it would have happened. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, well.

Speaker 2 Is that when you've hit the pinnacle, you think?

Speaker 1 What's that?

Speaker 2 Like, your pinnacle popularity is when people pretend to be you online to scam people.

Speaker 1 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 Never happened to me, though. There was never any

Speaker 1 scamsters.

Speaker 1 Fuck it.

Speaker 1 It's weird. You're saying, like, people don't even know who I am.
Like,

Speaker 1 I'm so anonymous and so, like, nobody recognizes me from TV. I have one of my TSD topics.
I was not even going to use it because it's so bad, but I'll actually say it now.

Speaker 1 The other day at Chick-fil-A, every worker in the entire restaurant kept calling me Pete.

Speaker 1 That's a real note that I have.

Speaker 1 The guy's like, Pete, Pete, Pete, come on, Pete. And I didn't know he was talking to me because he was telling me to come up and move up in line to place my order.
And I'm looking around.

Speaker 1 I turn around and there's no one here. I'm like, so I just walk up and I tell him what I want.
And then someone brings over the food and they're like, have a good day, Pete.

Speaker 1 What is going on?

Speaker 1 I didn't tell anybody my name's not Pete, but it was just, I thought it was weird. Well, Pete's getting the fucking royal treatment.
Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 1 Right, but no one's just nice to me when they think my name's Walt, though. So I didn't correct anybody.
Yeah, go buy Pete's dialogue. Ride that Pete coattail.

Speaker 2 You also aren't getting political text messages during the pre-pre-election.

Speaker 1 Yeah, everybody I knew was getting hammered with political texts. I didn't get any.

Speaker 1 Me neither. I don't get them either.

Speaker 1 Same thing. Everybody around me gets hammered by it.
I just don't get them. I'm not envious.
No, I'm glad. Yeah.

Speaker 2 My foot phone was just beeping all the time. I'm like, who the hell was texting me?

Speaker 1 It's crazy.

Speaker 2 And I thought it was the doctor's office. So I called them.
Like, no, we haven't sent you anything.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I was thinking about political shit. Like, there was that stretch where people were like, you can't use plastic straws

Speaker 1 because they pollute the environment. One got stuck in a turtle's nose.
What about these fucking political signs that are made out of plastic and are fucking everywhere?

Speaker 1 And it's not just like, hey, vote for this guy. It's 50 signs in a row of vote for this guy who ended up losing.

Speaker 1 Has anybody ever been like, oh my God, there's 30, 50 signs. I'm voting for that guy.
He's got 50 signs. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Right? I mean, it doesn't matter how many signs you have.

Speaker 2 Oh, there's an election going on. I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for all these signs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all that shit ends up in the fucking landfill, so I don't want to hear about straws anymore.

Speaker 2 I'm the same way with the reusable plastic bags. Because, like, supposedly, one of those reusable plastic bags is 120.
It's supposed to be good for 125 uses.

Speaker 1 Oh, I don't know about that. What, your reusable plastic bag?

Speaker 2 Yeah, like when you buy the bag at the store.

Speaker 1 Oh, when you buy it at the store. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 And so that's better than a single-use bag. But then, like, you go down the road and you see a bunch of them on the side of the road.

Speaker 1 I just forget them at home all the time, so I end up having to get a new fucking one every time I go to the store. Exactly.
And I can't tell you how many we have because Mary Beth uses Instacart.

Speaker 1 This is really interesting to people. Yeah, yeah, I forgot.
Some of those things.

Speaker 1 You can't donate them, by the way. I don't have any more Pete scores.
What's that, Pete?

Speaker 1 Oh, well, you would be proud.

Speaker 1 We started watching Columbo.

Speaker 1 Me and Mary Beth.

Speaker 1 And I was like, I don't know if she'd be into it or not. Loves it.
Really? Not only loves it, but was like, can we watch a Columbo? Like, when it comes time to watch. There's not that many.

Speaker 1 We just finished that first season. Yeah, there's not that many in a season.
No, it's like seven or eight episodes or something. So you haven't seen the one where he falls down the hill yet?

Speaker 1 No, I haven't seen that. You showed that to me, though.
Yeah, that is the weirdest episode ever of Colombo, man. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I will say, follow-up, when you're done, watch Pokerface.

Speaker 1 I started to watch Poker Face. I couldn't get into it.

Speaker 2 I think if you watch Colombo, you'll kind of.

Speaker 1 You think I'll ease into it a little easier?

Speaker 2 Yeah, because there's a lot of Colombo-ish-ness to it.

Speaker 1 Oh, there definitely is. She even has some of the mannerisms and shit that I noticed.

Speaker 1 I mean, he

Speaker 1 casts a large shadow Colombo in 70s TV crime shows, but don't overlook

Speaker 1 what was the one with Rock Hudson? A Macmillan wife. Macmillan and wife.

Speaker 1 Rock Hudson.

Speaker 1 Please. San Francisco.

Speaker 1 He has a wife, you say. He has a wife, and he can't solve any crimes, but his wife, who's just a normal housewife, has to come in on every fucking case, and she's the one that fucking solves it.

Speaker 1 Sometimes I ask you.

Speaker 1 They are like the complete opposite of Colombo, where you feel it's smart and kind of

Speaker 1 off-kilter.

Speaker 1 It is like,

Speaker 1 all that is sucked out of Macmillan and wife, where it just becomes like, I can't believe how bad this is. Really? It's awesome.
It's so bad at times. She'll say John? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 She's cute. Oh, yeah.
She was cute.

Speaker 1 She was was usually wearing a cute cute. She's always wearing a fucking San Francisco 49ers jersey.
Like to bet. Dust on.
Nice. Nice, nice.
Did you see the Wonder Woman costume sold at auction?

Speaker 1 Linda Carter. Yeah, Linda Carter.
Let me take a guess. You know the number?

Speaker 1 I do, but I'll have got him double-checked. I'll know enough to say whether you're...
I'm going to say it goes for a million. A million.
I'm going to say it's a million dollar cost. That is a...

Speaker 1 Let me ask something. What do you think went higher?

Speaker 1 That or I've Dream of Jeannie?

Speaker 1 Personally,

Speaker 1 if I was at the auction, which I would bid on, I'd been on the Wonder Woman. I think that's a little bit more iconic than I Dream of Genie.
I think every day

Speaker 1 i Dream of Genie loses a little bit more in the pop culture Zeist, Zeitgeist, but Wonder Woman is going to be here forever. It's going to be here forever.
Okay, well, let me ask you this.

Speaker 1 What's going to get more money? Fonzie's jacket or Wonder Woman?

Speaker 1 Fonzie's jacket. I don't know.
That's just my guess. Get him.
Pull up the numbers.

Speaker 1 225K for Wonder Woman. That's a steal.
You could have had that. That's a steal.
You could have had that, right?

Speaker 1 Not if I'm retiring.

Speaker 1 And Vonzi's only reached 87. 87.
Yeah. These seem like...
There's two of them, I think. There's two of them, yeah? I thought there was two of them over there.
This is the same website I saw.

Speaker 1 No, no, this isn't. This isn't actually.
I saw the actual auction website. Oh, yeah, that was.
Adam West. Wait, hold on, go back.
Adam West was a while ago, though, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 Well, maybe those were the. Oh, is that a mannequin that's got Wonder Woman's costume on?

Speaker 1 I think it was a model. Oh, yeah.
Look at that fucking one. Are those Ralph Garmins?

Speaker 1 Those costumes that he had put them up for auction?

Speaker 1 Oh, he was. Oh, no, from the Berkowitz collection.
David Berkowitz, son of Sam, fucking collect the Batman shit? Holy shit.

Speaker 1 He really was like us.

Speaker 1 Yes. Was it? See, $575,000 for award? Half a million.

Speaker 2 Caesar Romero's Joker sold for $212,000.

Speaker 1 That's the one I would have wanted. Yeah.
Yeah, that's the one I would have wanted.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know that it's an investment, though. You'd probably make your money.
You could buy it and reasonably expect to not lose money on it. That's for sure.
Yeah, I agree. But what do you do with it?

Speaker 1 Put it on a mannequin just like you can wear it. Make sure it fucking is in a.

Speaker 2 Unlike Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 1 You put it somewhere where...

Speaker 2 No, she wore.

Speaker 1 She destroyed it. No, she didn't destroy it.
Yeah, she did. She did.
Yeah, she did. Oh, because of all the body sweat and oils in your body.
It just made me.

Speaker 2 Plus, it wasn't designed for her body size.

Speaker 1 But they lent it to her.

Speaker 1 So who's the fool?

Speaker 2 Everyone's saying the people who lent it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I mean,

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 Fuck, man, that Joker one looks cool, though.

Speaker 1 Does.

Speaker 1 Fonzie's jacket isn't. Yeah, he looks great.
And I don't know. I always thought it was black until I got high deaf TV.
It looks brownish, right? Yeah, it's very brown.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Look at him. Look at that motherfucker.
Cool. Cool guy.
So cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 Some people didn't listen to me for Halloween. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 I try to tell them, but they don't want to listen.

Speaker 1 What do we got? We have

Speaker 1 there was a Nazi costumed man. He looked like he was in his early 20s, and he was outside a club.

Speaker 1 We talked about this already. Didn't some woman go after him? Yeah, some lady ahead.
You told me this. I don't know whether it's air or whether they were in the air.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because this happened after Halloween.

Speaker 1 I think we had this conversation over here. You're like, who the fuck is wearing a Nazi costume? This guy.
Like, what kind of an idiot is out there doing it? Yeah, it was in Athens, Ohio, and

Speaker 1 he ended up because I guess some girl was giving him a bunch of shit and he ended up hitting her, and then he went to jail. Oh, my God.
What a fucking dope. What is with people, man?

Speaker 1 Julia Fox shocks with blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy Halloween costume. So she dressed up like Jackie Kennedy and was soaked in Kennedy's blood, I guess.

Speaker 1 Hey, man. Then I have another one here for Instagram.
I don't have Instagram on my iPad, so let me look this up real fast.

Speaker 2 Collie Koken dressed up as a toilet.

Speaker 1 All right, there you go. That's nice and safe.

Speaker 1 Who was this? There was another one, but I don't see another. Oh, this is the one that I texted Giddam about.
Kendall Jenner faces backlash for sexualizing the kids, the Toy Story Kids movie.

Speaker 1 Oh, come on, man. That costume's been out there for years.
Look at that. That's hardly anything, right?

Speaker 1 We were at a con and we saw way worse than that. Yeah, that was the one that was just like blue dental floss for the shorts.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's been out there for years. Well, and I think Giddam was saying they weren't exactly slim, right? They didn't.
Well, no, no, it was the fact.

Speaker 1 Stop, we get to the real curl.

Speaker 1 No, no, it was it was the fact that they were sexualizing a children's character at a con that had children that i understand yeah that was my big offense to it like there was an adults area that they should have been staying in yeah unfortunately like cons back when we were youngsters weren't for kids it was for lonely people like us yeah uh and that you can get away with booth babes and stuff like that but as the fucking culture changes and kids are like got into this stuff i can't believe i'm saying this but i'm like yeah maybe you shouldn't have like fucking your ass hanging out in front of fucking kids walking around.

Speaker 1 I thought that the first con I ever went to was down in Miami with

Speaker 1 Ming and Mike, and there was a woman there who just had body painting on.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And it was good body painting, but I still felt like, yeah, there's like a lot of kids around.

Speaker 1 And this would have been 2015, somewhere in there. Which is different from like Key West, where there were people walking around completely naked, wearing nothing but body paint.

Speaker 1 And you look at the people who were bringing their kids around, and you're like, well, hold on, man. You shouldn't.

Speaker 1 shouldn't like then I feel it falls on the parents because you're like this place is fucking famous for it man yeah like why are you bringing especially this these 10 days out of any 10 days of the year why are you bringing your kids down here yeah I kind of judgment goes in the other direction but Khan's yeah I'm kind of like yeah yeah there's the Nazi guy what a fucking armband on yeah like what

Speaker 1 you're so desperate for attention you're so desperate to be the lightning rod yeah that's all it comes down to you just don't care but he's young how old is this kid he looks pretty young he looks like like he's in his early 20s.

Speaker 1 People just do stupid shit. Like, your brain's not even fully formed until you're in your mid-20s.
So it's like, what a fucking thing.

Speaker 1 But this seems like one that you should very clearly be like, nah, even though. Oh, no, he's actually older.
Yeah, he's 33. Oh, yeah.
You should really know by then.

Speaker 1 Come on, dude. Like, what are you doing? But hey, what are you doing? Yeah, see, people are handling him, man, handling him.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, I get it.

Speaker 1 This is, I'm going to plot the volcano tonight. Yes.

Speaker 1 I can't deal with this anymore. This world is too much for me.
There was also an offensive float. Oh.
Mm-hmm. Do go on.

Speaker 1 Hold on. Let me just pull it up here.
It was a Harrisburg church.

Speaker 1 Apologizes for grade school Halloween float displaying Auschwitz gates phrase. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 Pennsylvania diocese has apologized for a shocking grade school Halloween parade float that displayed a replica of the Auschwitz concentration camp gate. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna pull that up. Oh, there it is.
Looks like Mach Fry. There's a lot of fucking work went into that too.
There was a lot of opportunities for someone to be like,

Speaker 1 We shouldn't do this. Yeah, like they hooked it up to the truck.

Speaker 1 Yeah. As they assembled it,

Speaker 1 I wouldn't have even gone with the shape of it. Like,

Speaker 1 like the words. So that's German? And what's that word mean though?

Speaker 1 Work will make you you free.

Speaker 1 That's what the art by Mark Fry. That is very difficult.
That's somebody.

Speaker 1 I bet you a lot of people working on that didn't even know it, probably, and were probably like shocked when they're like, oh my God,

Speaker 1 that's what it's from? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a raiser. I bet you there was some fucking maniac who was like, I know what I'll write.

Speaker 1 And then the other people who worked on it were like,

Speaker 1 that's Latin? What's that Latin for?

Speaker 1 Happy Halloween?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Then, like, on the

Speaker 1 on the float, there's a bunch of carved pumpkins on it. Like, I guess.
Yeah, like the rest of it is pretty down-the-line Halloween stuff. And then that's crazy.

Speaker 1 Oh, boys.

Speaker 1 What's up? I got invited to be part of

Speaker 1 a roast.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 1 A roast of New Jersey. New Jersey? Yeah, at the Count Basie Theater.
Somebody is putting together a roast of New Jersey, and I've been asked to take part in it. Oh, we got to go, right?

Speaker 1 Well, you got to fucking heckle this. I haven't said yes yet, but I was going to run it by you guys.
I was like, because the jokes just started in my head right away. I was like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Kind of got to do it, right? You got to. Got to do it.
All right. I'll start working on my materials.

Speaker 2 Is your biggest problem with New Jersey, a shared border?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I think that I've taken a lot of shit from you guys over the years. And this is going to be, you guys aren't going to have the mic.
I am going to have the mic. A public forum.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to address several things that you guys have brought up to me over the years. I'm pretty excited.
Pretty excited.

Speaker 1 I don't know the details yet. I just read the email or whatever.
But yeah, so that's,

Speaker 1 I'll keep you updated as that goes along. All right.
Yeah, that I would love to see. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Right on. All right.
Should I say

Speaker 1 tell them, Steve, Dave, or is there anything? I mean,

Speaker 1 what's your status? When will we know? When do you think we'll know what's going on with you, health-wise?

Speaker 2 MRI is next week, and then I got to wait for the results from that. So

Speaker 2 then I'll hear from my doctor.

Speaker 1 Okay. So,

Speaker 1 yeah, if you've used it. He fucking,

Speaker 1 you think I can get a ride for my MRI because I'm not allowed to drive? And of course, he fucking gets it at the fucking earliest appointment possible.

Speaker 1 Of course, it's got to be 7 a.m.

Speaker 1 7.30. The nurse, I mean, the doctor said stat.

Speaker 1 But, you know, that's. If it's a week, another couple hours doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 It could have been four o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah, not processing the results immediately.

Speaker 1 It's just so rude.

Speaker 1 Well, I said I would do it. So, yeah,

Speaker 1 I got to fucking bite the bullet and get up fucking early. But it is kind of like, you know, if we're late, you know, they'll fucking still take you.

Speaker 1 You know, they're not going to be like, go home. What's up with Uber?

Speaker 1 It's so awful, though, because you're going in, you're kind of scared. He's got, you got to take, what do you got to take Quailudes? He's got to take everything.

Speaker 1 You know, then you got to do it. Like, you have nobody.
You've got nobody there for emotional support. You know, I feel like you need some emotional support.

Speaker 1 Poor boy.

Speaker 1 He's the Uber driver. My dude got him chopped.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they want five stars.

Speaker 1 They're just doing it for a fucking tip. I'm not getting a tip.

Speaker 1 Did you record it?

Speaker 1 Set up a GoPro in a car for the ride.

Speaker 1 What happened?

Speaker 2 The MRI sucked a GoPro into the room.

Speaker 1 So when do you take your fucking your Quailudes?

Speaker 2 They gave me enough to take one, to take a test one.

Speaker 1 When are you going to take the test one?

Speaker 2 Probably like Sunday during football.

Speaker 1 So then you could stare at your hand and be like, whoa, bro, there's Cosmos in there.

Speaker 1 Nobody knows. No, Cowboys.
No, they're not playing this week.

Speaker 1 They've got a bye week. So you're going to take a test run with the Quailudes.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 how will you deem them like this is successful or unsuccessful?

Speaker 1 What has to happen?

Speaker 2 Well, I want to know what they feel like when I take them. And like, you know.

Speaker 1 You're going to fall asleep. Oh, okay.
Well, then, okay. If you'd like to rip your clothes open, then I won't be freaked out.
You're going around like airporting stuff. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He started ripping his clothes off.

Speaker 1 He rips his clothes open and just starts wandering, parading around in the airport plasma, proclaiming like he's

Speaker 1 the king of the plaza.

Speaker 2 I eat a baby from trendy's top name.

Speaker 1 It's like on Halloween when they're driving up to pick up Michael Myers and there's just people wandering around

Speaker 1 in the rain and shit. You gotta be careful, man.

Speaker 1 I think Qualids are like bath salts and shit, so you don't want to be fucking,

Speaker 1 you know, maybe we should strap you down when you take it. So don't go and eat Ron's face.

Speaker 1 I'll bring in a couple belts and we'll belt you to the fucking chair.

Speaker 1 I won't freak out.

Speaker 1 Just like the MRI. I'm good now.
You can let me out.

Speaker 1 I'm feeling pretty good. He's like the guy in the thing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You couldn't belt me. You couldn't get like Jimmy the hair guy to do this for you.
You got a ball of poor wall?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I'm doing it. I'll do it.
Where is it? Where's your office?

Speaker 2 You know where the Toys Rush used to be in Eaton Town?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's Jeff. Oh my god.
Jeff goes, I think I'm working.

Speaker 1 He literally works a mile away.

Speaker 2 I don't like you could take a lunch break and pick one.

Speaker 1 We are half a mile away.

Speaker 1 Are you guys going to Jimmy's wedding?

Speaker 1 I am. Yeah.
Yeah? You're going? I don't think I'm going.

Speaker 1 You know, I have a lot of anxiety about gatherings and stuff. Take one over to the wall.
Do you want to take one of these swingers?

Speaker 1 Tell him, Steve.
