Starting point is 00:00:00 You can't marry an Irish to run their whole life, feet and drugs. I'm like I know my personality is not that good, I know how a mirror works, so I know that's not it. I met a nice boy. Yeah. Never dreaming. Tell them, Steve Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them, Steve Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them Steve Dave, Memorial Day edition. And you may think that over the years the troops have given a lot, nothing compared to
Starting point is 00:01:13 Wall Flanagan coming in an hour early. Really, that was a good answer. He was very quick on the text, amazing. There's absolutely positively no comment whatsoever before you got here none I said nothing about coming in an hour early I don't know why he would lead
Starting point is 00:01:35 off with that I can see it in his eyes a thousand yard stare not at all his response was so quick and so chipper when I was like, can we do it in the morning? That I was like, oh, he must like doing it in the morning.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Like, that's how that might be a stretch, right? I just try to make it easy for you because I know how I know that your schedule is hell and you have a very limited window. So I try to make myself available to you. And I also assume to those like I tell I told my wife I was like there is no fucking way when he gets up tomorrow that he's gonna get up early and I want to come and get that text around 9 20 that you know you're not gonna be able to make a boy.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I'll tell you what honey you know Richard's making lazy because I was like I don't think he anticipates how heavy the traffic is gonna be coming down to the shore at that time in the morning. But it wasn't bad though, yeah. It's like a slight hiccup. Maybe 15 minutes delay on that, but other than that. Yeah, for me yesterday, totally different story. Yeah, it's been an hour. And while this on the surface may seem like a boring sitting in traffic story, it's not. No, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Because I was in Middletown, I have to go to Highlands, which is like, what, like eight miles away. Surface may seem like a boring sitting in traffic story. It's not okay Because I was in middle town I have to go to Highlands, which is like what like eight miles away Yeah, but it's on two different highways though, right? Yeah, no, cuz I go down 36. Okay shoot down 36 to Highlands. Well, it's time you're in Highlands boy I'm forget right but middle town but middle town really is in I I equate middle town being on 35 though Oh, okay, well 36 middle town. You know the middle town me and you live in that's the one that's really poor mom part of middle town township nobody listening knows what the fett of it anyway. Yeah, but anyway, so it's the first weekend of the pool club all new pool club. I haven't gotten to review it yet. I
Starting point is 00:03:20 was hoping there are no pre-pubescent wannabe rock bands at this one. Okay. But I'm like, all right, we'll see each data pemmin' at yours less and I'll go down there and get her. And it's about eight miles away. There's traffic everywhere. It's pretty heavy. But I know once I get into Highlands, that's right where it splits off to go to this popular beach area. So I'm like, I know it's going to be packed there. I'll go this little back route. But I guess with apps now, there's no such thing as a backroot. There's no such thing as a shortcut. The little secret place is the haunts that you used to use to bypass all the tourists do not exist anymore. That's a good thing now. I opened up that opened up everybody
Starting point is 00:03:59 though. That was great. Yeah. It's great. Just for the people in the know. It's fair. Yeah, but it was always fair. Now the roads are finally fucking fair. Yeah, it's like true equality. Like I go to Staten Island, I don't expect to know the back roots. Like that's for cute. That's for cute. I know, right? Like he doesn't want pedestrians like me run around. But so anyway, we finally get into high, it took about an hour to go the eight miles. I could only get to downtown by like where the fire department use is is right now like, uh, kind of by the backroads in Miller Hill. Okay. Right. So I go
Starting point is 00:04:40 up the hill and, uh, I've been talking to sage about going to the pool and Pam's like, yeah, that is going to pick up to go to the pool. Big promises. So I finally make it up the hill. Very steep hill too, Miller. Yeah. And that kind of heat. You need to have some good carriage on the car to get up that hill.
Starting point is 00:05:00 So I walked up the hill because I'm like, I don't want to, even Miller was blocked. There's's no way So walk up there get to the house collect and stage about to leave and Pam's like, oh by the way She got her lady friend last night. Oh Now first you'll go to pool then exactly If Walt's landing in those if I can look to Walter I'd be like what's wrong with this picture I went all the way there I look at because for a second. It's like I
Starting point is 00:05:46 Wish you just really say that and I go why the fuck did you tell me to come Like I'm not as angry as I am just completely mystified I cannot get my head around and Edgar who can't hear shit I mean really he's deaf legally almost. I don't know if it's legal. Is there a legal Linus is there legal deaf thing to I never heard of that? Immediately puffs up and he's like we didn't know it was gonna be that congested I'm not talking about the fucking traffic He can hear that he can hear that he can hear it! He can hear it! He can hear a fight, bro! Yeah, because Barry Beth was with me. And when we left, she goes, I see where it comes from.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And he didn't like turning around. I don't know what the information was. Do I have a fuck? I'm ready to go. For me, there's other people's problems. Yeah, facts. Holy shit. to go. For me, it is other people's problem. Yeah. Yeah, facts. Holy shit. And we just, we walked down the hill and then I went over to fucking target and looking for a pool.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Now I got to find a little personal pool to Sage. That's another hour. Now, are the pools, is she allowed to go in any polls at this point though? Well, I think so if it's only I mean the whole thing is that it's like you don't want bleeding all over the place And that's the other thing I thought it was for like you would give them like cramps or something Being in the water. I think the cramps are a given anyway regardless if you're swimming or not But that's the other thing like Pam. She just won't say what it is. So Edgerton's sitting there like, I don't like, I don't like, I mean, you can't, I don't mind someone dancing around it.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I appreciate someone dancing. But now you're dancing around with somebody who I don't think has ever heard the term. And even if he has heard it, cannot currently hear it, because he's almost deaf. So she's dancing around for Edgar's benefit. No, she just doesn't want to say it for some reason. For Edgar's benefit. I don't know. She thinks Edgar's going to be an old-fashioned type of thing. I think so. I think it might be a generation whole thing where I'm just like, why the fuck did he tell me he had a goddamn period? But so he can't hear it and finally he gets and finally he gets and then he's you know Do you think he apologize?
Starting point is 00:08:12 I apologize nobody you guys in hug one hour. I'm really alright, bro. So right daddy. Yeah Poppy I'm not ready daddy Poppy My father and my father's hearing I was with my family yesterday and my dad said the hearing doctor and Doctor wants him to get a hearing aid he can't hear anymore and He's my mother's telling the story and my father was like all right Maybe maybe and then the doctor goes yeah because you're having problem hearing these frequencies And these are the frequencies that women and little children's voice fall on my father refused to do that he goes on to find leaving alone some extra
Starting point is 00:08:53 fusing to get one that's amazing that's a fucking dude how does it how does your mom handle that she does she see it as the slight that that is she does but she gets how funny he's not wanting your me and me does she see it as the slight that that is? She does, but she gets how funny. You're maybe one of the few guys I know that would invite total deafness. Oh God, yeah. It's my mother. You know, I love her. She loves it.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Go on and on. Why do you think it is that? I felt I meant more his complete unwillingness to talk to anyone. Just like, oh, what do you mean? Like if I have a reason. Oh, yeah, possibly. He doesn't like talking to you. Yeah, sorry, deaf. Can't talk to anyone. Just like, oh, what do you mean? Like, if I have a reason, oh, yeah, possibly he doesn't like talking. Yeah, sorry, deaf can't talk to you. Do you know, silent? It's working out for you. Well, I don't. So he's going to make deafness work for him. He really is my. Yeah, it's great. Why do you think it is that people, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:09:39 for me, it's older people who are dealing with things that they have to deal with as they get older are so really, I'm not doing it. Fuck it, I'm not doing it. You're not, I don't want to do it. I'm not doing it. Even though it's for their betterment, why? He can't hear, but he doesn't give a shit. He's like, what's more annoying not being able to hear or fucking walk around hearing
Starting point is 00:10:00 at all then? But you can hardly see him anymore. I suggested the same thing for Err, Ed, you're like the miracleier thing. Yeah. You know, you can hardly even see them. And it's like no one's gonna look at you and think, oh, hearing aid, you must be old. It's like they're gonna look at you and say, oh, he's old. Yeah, right. There's this, there's this bizarre like reluctance to just see the situation, what a cause for it to fix it or to make it better. And a lot of people just won't do it for whatever reason. For every time I wear like readers, those are for old people.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah, I can't see shit. But yeah, they're for old people. Yeah, I don't agree with that for myself. I want everything fixed as it happens. Yeah, and I mean, you could tell your father too that like one of the one of the things I heard was If you don't address your hearing it could Really it brings on um
Starting point is 00:10:51 Wixinality. Yes. Yeah 73. I don't know if he cares That's the final stage of complete removal from society, but I'm still alive I just watch baseball read Society, but I'm still alive. I just watch baseball and read. Yeah. Yeah. If that's all he cares about, your family's real into trains, huh? And you've recently been getting into trains.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Hmm. Oh my God. What collecting toy trains? No, well, my family. No running trains on checks. No running trains on checks. That's my territory. No, my...
Starting point is 00:11:20 Chew-chew. Oh, what? My grandfather was a big model train guy, like in his beehive on the brown No, my shoe too My grandfather was a big model train guy like in his big hill in the brown zone So what are those like big elaborate setups with the styrofoam caves mountains and all shit But some mowing Joe action. Yeah, but my father drove some he was training I drove some ways for 20 something years in Manhattan both my brothers worked for railroad Danny works long-hour. I worked for the train. Train dudes. Train dudes to the free, they go to the museums, they go to train shows. Train freaks. Train freaks. Train magazine
Starting point is 00:11:53 has come in. There's train magazines. I was at my brother's house last weekend and almost all the decor in his house is train related Do you and you you're getting into the band train I've never been a big train guy, but recently I've been Getting into a bit like I see how cool like locomotives are and steam engines What what is it that makes them seem now cool in your eyes? Yeah, and you're not talking about modern day trains. No. You're talking about like old, like in behemoth locomotives, which aren't pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Dude, I went to this train museum in Pennsylvania and like standing next to these things is like standing next to a dinosaur. They're so big, you can't even believe it. And then if you dig a little closer and you get into the technology, you're like, wow, that's actually pretty cool. And at the time, they were made too.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Yeah. They were talking about shit like 1800s, right? Right, yeah, but even through the 30s and like the Art Deco trains and stuff like that. But like then you get into, then it's like everything. If you get into history, history is interesting. So it's like the history of the railroads,
Starting point is 00:12:57 the history of the trains, the history of the technology. Like, it's pretty cool. I mean, I'm not like my brothers, but I mean, I'm like, wow, it's pretty fascinating. Trains wasn't cool for all of us. I'm like, on this Memorial Day, I'd like to thank Ming's family for their service to the trains.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Yeah. I was also always supposed to get supplies and shit. Yeah, it is, I was never a train guy until I think the last year. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I could never see myself being interested in trains. To me, it's like you say like anything is interesting if there's history. Yeah, that is not true. Really? That is not true. I remember it just the other day. I was sitting here and I came upon the realization that I'm at the age I'm at. I don't...
Starting point is 00:13:40 Nothing's guaranteed anymore, right? I mean, the next week is not guaranteed. Tomorrow's not guaranteed at this stage in my life. Something's all right. The same things are guaranteed, definitely Texas. That's what you say, right? That's the same thing. So old grief. When I realized that I was sitting here for two straight days as a customer came in
Starting point is 00:13:57 and talked to get him about making candles, and I had to sit here and listen to the most possibly, the most fucking boring conversation I've ever heard in my entire life of how they go to make candles Where they get the fucking supplies the mason jars and the wax. Yeah, I was like what am I doing? Why am I why is it what? That all roads lead to you I could have believed it as I gave a file I was just like, I was so depressed listening to these two energetic fools talk about the candles and how.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And you don't have a letter, candles can be exciting. It's too fucking shut, it's talking about candles, might not be exciting, but if you dig into the background of candles, you like, yeah, like candles being invented, right? And like how did they figure out like, oh, this fucking well, blowbar, all burn, right? This fucking shit will turn into soap. And I like accidentally a lot of time.
Starting point is 00:14:58 So yeah, like this candle conversation, no, if I like say, oh, I lit a birthday candle and then you silly string and lit up my fucking kid like an interesting story to hear. But these guys making the wrong candles. Did you hear that happening? Oh yeah, there's like videos about it. Oh yeah, it's always like somebody with a cake and everyone's like, oh, I guess they haven't seen these videos. And like, how they didn't outlaw silly string after those incidents. We're at least beyond chemical composition.
Starting point is 00:15:33 That level would be a good step in the right direction. Wait, were we just talking about before? Oh, the end of candles. Yeah, we're listening to this particular candle situation. Yeah, put me in a bad place for a couple of days. Yeah, because how much can you talk about it? You know, apparently hours as like, you know, as you talk about where you get the wax from, you can get beeswax, you can go to a beekeeper and get get free wax. You can go get your wicks, you get your scents, you know, you pay your, this candle from fucking Bed Bath and Beyond is $15. I just made a candle for a dollar.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Wow. So why don't you turn around and sell it then? You're never going to be able to sell a candle like homemade candles to the real public. The real public wants the mass market. Yeah, they want. They're real public doesn't give a fuck. They just want to ease this white. And then we can go to like a bed bath and be on them by that or deal with get them. Does like do they sell candles at Target?
Starting point is 00:16:40 Okay, then that completely eliminates. The dollar in Target? Yeah, the 45 minute conversation I'm gonna have about where he got his watch. And how his centred candles are 10 times more powerful than the centred ones that you buy in the real retail stores. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just like, so that's, so he's at home pacing. People don't care about quality. Whatever's easiest, you know, I don't, people don't care about quality. And then you just shit up, whatever's easiest. You know, $15 a target, I'll just go get a candle,
Starting point is 00:17:07 whatever, it's not powerful. But it's easy. It's from a different tree. It's not easy though, yeah, there's not like, it's like an hour process, it takes a while to, what, to go to target? No, to get a homemade candle. Oh no, no, no, that's not it.
Starting point is 00:17:21 No, he's complaining, it's too easy for people to get candle. You know, if it's harder to get candles, that's a lot more candles I was on the libous candles real easy They're gonna deliver it tomorrow for free. I don't know why but they're gonna okay dude I live on stand-on this a huge Amazon warehouse. Most days I get shit the same day Yeah, it does all the, I hate to say, but all that, the online shit does,
Starting point is 00:17:51 it incentivizes you to not leave the house. Like the day before Memorial Day, I was thinking about going to Highlands, I was gonna pick my bike up, and I looked at the ways, you know, and you go down the highway and you see how far the red is, and I'm like, no way. And I felt so smart that everybody else is in traffic assholes. And I'm sitting at home having a drink, playing a little bio-shock, just like totally cooling out while all
Starting point is 00:18:16 these assholes are in traffic 24 hours later. Somebody's at home and I'm not looking like, I wonder where this jerk off is. I'm part of the whole thing. Everybody is. I'm part of the whole thing. Everybody is. Yeah. Did you hear Bezos said though that he said that Amazon is not sustainable. It will crumble under itself. Why? He said that?
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah, he said that. Did Stockprices drop? You would think of it. You would think of it. I guarantee he said it. Wow. And it did send a ripples through the company as it's like, why the fuck is he saying this? He said somebody, he- They're poised to take over the world probably like so that drops and then they can get somebody
Starting point is 00:18:49 You can get more stock right? I don't know. Yeah, but he did say that though, which I thought was strange too Huh would you want to be Bezos Q? Yeah, you would of course But with all that you know sell it all and just fucking enjoy life. Yeah. Well, there's Amazon saying, oh, they're saying they don't have a sustainability report with those 2012. Let me see. You're saying Bezos says this.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, Bezos said it too, at a meeting with people. Worker. Maybe he means it in terms of they have to evolve. They have to continually evolve because as it stands. Well, I don't know, Megan, I mean, how can you keep up this? I mean, is there a big profits in this,
Starting point is 00:19:34 that what they sell it for so cheap, they're pretty good. All they're talking about is, well, they buy in such a climate control. Speaking of bulk. Yeah. When's the last time you've been in a like a Costco or a BJ's? Well, it's been filmed, right? Firehouse.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Oh, okay. But I mean, I know people who have been in them recently. I haven't been in one because I haven't been a member since the like the late 90s. Yeah. My wife just got a gifted a membership. Oh, I told you, Costco. I'm going out of business.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I know I'm going to use them. It has been, God, about 20 years since I've been to one. It's like the Disneyland of you don't fucking need it. Yes. That's the thing now. And you get so hyped up and you walk in, we haven't been in in 20 years, so we go in and we're like filling up the cart. And then we realize, oh my god, we just brought $30.
Starting point is 00:20:22 We have to buy $30 worth of ice cream because you can't buy it in a small size and then we get home. And then we're like oh, we don't like it. So we don't like ice cream. So now we got like all this ice cream in the freezer and we don't know what to do with it because they make you buy in such bulk. They get you so hyped up when you walk in there
Starting point is 00:20:39 because the prices are what seeming layer so great. And it's just like from fucking floor to roof, just filled with products. It's like, it's awesome. I mean, we spent about an hour and a half an hour just being like, holy shit they got this. Holy shit they got that. Like in massive quantities.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Look at this, fucking 80 candles for $20. I know, it does make you buy more than you need though. You just can't help it. Pam, I don't understand about Pam whether she had six people in the house or just she and Edgar shops at those places and I'm like, why do you need this much shit? And now that she's older she'll just get it online and it's like these boxes of stuff that come that it's like Why do you need like a gross of paper towel right now? Like it's just just you guys
Starting point is 00:21:33 Well, is she not is she but oh she's not even going to the the cost go where the BJs are buying and then ball Sometimes but she'll do the same thing online. She just buys way too much stuff Yeah, we think that's from? Oh, she's, she's, she would be a hoarder if Edgar allowed it a little more. She would never throw anything away. And she has a definite issue with like spending, spending money on shit she doesn't need.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Yeah. So in her mind, she's saving money, but really it's like, by the time you use all this stuff, you're fucking children's grandchildren will be finishing it up. Be it like this antique paper towels. Yeah. I don't know any plans for the big Memorial Day today. Well, I will be opening soon.
Starting point is 00:22:17 The doors will be open for Memorial Day crowds. Spectal out of people. Is it a big comic book shop in the Memorial Day? There's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, there's a, usually, um, some walk, walk in, some walk in some more day. It's usually worth opening on Memorial Day for the, uh, lucky lose and the, um, you get in time and a half? No.

Well not to be a coal miner to be the coal mining guy who's like getting there. No. I got them all. Well we're in the firecrime they told us they're like one this is a job that you could die on. Someone you know will definitely die on that did happen and they're like most firemen or large Percent of firemen they were like you're gonna get cancer They're like all this shit you're gonna breathe in over the next 20 years.

I'm not sure we did because we're out of the boat. Well, it's just like, you know how much one when a house goes on fire now? Plastics burn? Car fire is all the equipment and stuff like that. It's really all that is dangerous.
Starting point is 00:25:35 And why is it hotter today than the used to be because plastic burns all the synthetic material burns much hotter than what in dirtier than what. So you're just breathing in tar and plastics and all this shit that's gonna give you cancer. On average, how many fires are there per week? Per week? Depends on the house.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Some houses a bit busier than others. Can you go weeks without a fire? No, sure, you can go weeks. You can go weeks without a fire, but it doesn't seem that way around us, right? That's the thing, like, I've also had a whole shit. Three fires in one night it's like it's right you just don't know in the season it seasons are like winters you get more fun do you guys get antsy well like if it's been weeks and you're like man sure wish there was a fire we should light a fire no it's always something
Starting point is 00:26:24 there's always a car my my my house had the highest car accident rate in all the city. Oh, okay car accidents. I forgot about that. A lot of basements, fucking. Now, what do they call the firehouse where when you get a flood of trees? Because it's an electric and it's like a warrior building. What is found on the basement and the electric's on. That's a. She's guys can go in and turn electrical. Yeah, we go and

Sorry later Then they got a deal of it on their own. And they got deal with their own. That's why it goes, man. You act like a dickhead.
Starting point is 00:27:10 They're going to get treated very well. They've beaten floods every time it rains. And it's going to get fixed. They just call you and then after a while, you're like, fuck this guy. So they call you and they because it's flooded and they're like, I need to come turn my leg. One one and I one one just sends us out to investigate it to make sure.
Starting point is 00:27:26 So that would never occur to me. Yes. And I would think like, I can't call the fire if I'm getting, have them do something so insignificant as to. Oh, sure, good. I put it this way in my fire. It's happened in other fires in my fire. There's never been a tour that I didn't get a run
Starting point is 00:27:47 Of some sort that just doesn't happen So there's always some nonsense to deal with My my basement floods like I go down there. There's tons of water and it's so much so that it needs to be pumped out My basement Yeah, I mean if it happened. Oh if it happened My first thought is I should kill myself My second thought is why is it myself. My second thought is... Why is it... Why is it matrimatic and you're like, oh my god, it isn't. It isn't. That's the thing, it isn't.
Starting point is 00:28:12 But it's never like... If I find out I have cancer, I'm not going to try it. I wouldn't think I should just kill myself. But it's the littlest fucking things. Like I can't do something simple. I fixed the lawnmower for the third time, even though I watched the fucking cock suckin' on the fucking YouTube video, you know? And did exactly what they said to do, and I'm like I'm useless, I should fucking do it now.
Starting point is 00:28:32 I got a gun upstairs, no, then fucking the gun control nuts will be like, see, see? So I'll just, I don't know, maybe I'll stab myself, I don't know, I don't know how to do it. But yeah, it gets in your head and you're like, ah, it like it even rages you, these little things. It's nice that you're on your way out and you're worried about the gun control nuts.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Yeah. Because you figure like, this is something I should be able to do. I'm not gonna, they're like, oh, yeah, I can't. I'm not like, oh, I'll just beat it. Because that's not something you can do or should be able to do. Fixing a lawnmower after watching a video three times and it looks real simple.
Starting point is 00:29:02 And they're like, yeah, just blow out these things with the spray. So I spray it and it sprays right back in my eyes. I'm like, I'm gone. I'm gone. I knew lawnmower and Amazon. Just get it lawnmower service. Yeah, but it's like 80 bucks to fix a lawnmower. I bought less than a year ago for 300.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And then I go online and it's like an ongoing problem. Don't buy Troy built. Oh, yeah. I'm going out there. Say I wouldn't buy Troy built again. I know I wouldn't. Wow. James, dude, you're taking a stand against Troy built.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Hey, so a little guy. It's going to stand up sometimes. I called a guy. I always like, forgot it. They called a guy just a mobile. Oh, yeah. Well, I get a local kid, like a neighborhood kid who wants a little, or always like, forgot it. They called a guy just a mobile one. Oh yeah, well, I get a local kid, like a neighborhood kid who wants a little
Starting point is 00:29:46 or it's a little pocket change. Do kids work anymore? Because I don't see it. I don't see anybody coming around the shovel snow. No kids are coming around to like, uh, mogress. Are they even allowed anymore? Every time a kid goes to somebody's house,
Starting point is 00:29:58 they get like, they get abducted or some shit. Oh, that's just. You know, I don't think you're allowed to sell a Girl Scout cookies door to door. That kind just. You know, I don't think you're allowed to sell a Girl Scout cookie's door to door. That kind of thing. Yeah, it's not anymore. That makes sense though. But like a 16 year old boy who wants to wander around the neighborhood,
Starting point is 00:30:17 not going to go to a boat branch, should not be allowed. I think he's okay. What's that? Those are some sort of shorts, bully. Yeah. I'm sure that the you know that That is still happening all across America. Yeah, I Know my neighborhood When we went in and stores come their kids come around the neighborhood offering to shovel really yeah
Starting point is 00:30:39 I go how much they give me a price I double it. Oh So the next storm may come right to my house they know Do they know they know they're like that fucking guy up there? Oh anything we say he doubles it. No, they've kept it pretty good. Yeah, let's say he tried them a last Let's look at them a price then he'll double it Kids are like $50 I'm like what? For your current driveway Or the old driver the old drive 50 bucks that would be way too much
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah, and then they're in dustries We got some of them have snowblowers and shit Yeah, good Yeah, did you go see that movie you want to see about the horror Superman? I didn't I didn't want to see John Wick 3 Oh, yeah, we did go see it finally got to see about the horror Superman? I didn't I didn't want to see John with three. We did go see. I finally got to see it. Yeah. The book fight unbelievable. Night fight unbelievable. The dog fight the first half of the dog fight unbelievable. All the fights unbelievable. But after a while I'm like the final fight. I'm just like it's
Starting point is 00:31:38 something I'm just like how are there this many assassins in the world? And who needs all this killing? And they all know who he is. And pedestrians, the many assassins in the world and who needs all this killing and they all know who he is And pedestrians the other assassins like hello, mr. Wick hello, mr. Wick. It's like well. He's a legend I get that yeah, put it disguise on then you're walking around exactly as everyone knows you look Yeah, I love the I love one and two and I I I probably watched three again. I didn't join. I'm looking for Rick to the fourth one, but It was just too. I didn't see Brian burn yet though. No, I saw a movie too. I saw something though number one movie of the weekend What I saw Aladdin. Oh, I wasn't I liked it really wow
Starting point is 00:32:19 Pregalist You go see laddie I You go see He did a great job that's what I thought the same thing how do you top robin Williams he did it he did it he did it He top problem I'm not kid I'm not on my mother's life. I really like the movie a lot One is less than he saw it. Wait, are you saying he topped Rob Williams
Starting point is 00:32:45 because there's allegations that Will Smith may be gay? No, not what? You heard that. I never heard that about him. Oh yeah, that they have an open relationship and Will Smith does gay stuff. I'm not saying it's true. I'm just saying that's what I heard.
Starting point is 00:32:56 So why would I use that as a reason for saying that he was a better genie? No, you didn't say that. You said he topped him. He is. I didn't know if you read something somewhere that the allegations Did once last time you saw a laden if you ever saw it to be good? I haven't seen it. Did you in the Robin Williams laden? Yeah, oh with the the cartoon
Starting point is 00:33:18 I don't know I'm not a fucking Over ten years more I probably haven't seen it over 10 years. More probably. It was. Yeah, it was so much money sunk into this movie. Choreographs dancing. Let me quickly, I'm gonna go quickly look up the review on this. Okay, why would I mean, but there's a superhero horror movie out and you want to go see?
Starting point is 00:33:41 Yeah, because no one's gonna, no one's gonna go at me to see that. Who won't we need to see? My wife. Oh, okay. She's not gonna want to go see it? Yeah, because no one's going to go with me to see that. Who won't need to see that? Life. Oh, okay. She's not going to want to go see Breitburn. It's not going to happen. We bought bulk popcorn. We sat through four showing showing.
Starting point is 00:33:53 But I cannot recommend it enough enough for a while. It was so true to the cartoon. I really enjoyed it. And I thought he was you to follow that guy. And you know know somebody else to be Aladdin right he did a damn good job though really good He's a great actor if you like if you look at stuff like six degrees of separation, well Smith is really good at it really good Yeah, so you have to like Overlook the end was independence day was that it was that the one he was in I like I'd eat for I like him
Starting point is 00:34:31 He was way too cavalier with an alien invasion Like you like now you got me pulling your bio dreads like What do you want to do? We want sure We want him we want war the world's type of reaction, you know, horror. We want to, but different. Yeah, I can't, I can't recommend it enough. It was the costumes. Yeah, the brightness, you know, just the, it was a scallop event. How was it let me answer something What's Jasmine Princess Jasmine? Yeah, did they make did they change your story a little bit to make a little more woke?
Starting point is 00:35:16 Is she a bit more she's a bit more She's a bit she's a bit more her own woman and she was in the Disney movie good Yeah, that's what it needed to be. I remember thinking that. You know, she definitely, I don't remember if the movie, I don't remember the cartoon as much as I should remember, but I only saw it once. I actually saw that in the theater too. Same theater, I saw the new live-action live-action.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Same company? You're with the...'s the same company. Yes, same company. So it was like going back in time. But does she become the Sultan at the end? No, what's that happened in this? Yeah. Oh, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:35:57 She has a sex change at the end? No, no, but she becomes the leader of the town. She's like, you know, it said like, her father's like, like this, the running storyline is like, she thinks she's good enough and smart enough and she's the most deserving person to be the next Sultan. And her and she instead of taking on princes from other countries to become the new Sultan
Starting point is 00:36:19 and become her husband. She's like, no, I don't want to do that. I want to be the Sultan and at the end. It's actually a pretty reasonable stance. Yeah. And at the end of the movie she does become the Sultan Yeah, and it's like and he is her little side piece. Yeah, like candy. Yeah, exactly Well, I mean that actually makes sense because she was raised in in it She knows the country. He's literally a thief from the streets, but he he was a street rat god Wow He's literally a thief from the streets, but he he was a street rat Wow, I
Starting point is 00:36:48 Introduced Brian to a TV show what we do in the shadows. Have you seen any of this? This is the vampire one's time. No, I've been here a lot of great reviews though fucking funny It is it is I haven't like this Ricking Morty before this I fell in love with in between is before like this is it's your new in between is fucking great dude it's it's it's my Rick and Morty in between is now ever all these shows you have become friends with the creators yes have you become friends with the new creator this it's gonna happen I hope so it's gonna happen. I hope so. It's gonna happen. It's the guy that made Flight of the Con,
Starting point is 00:37:26 he was one of the Flight of the Con, guys, and I've been listening to those guys for fucking years. Yeah, well, he's one of the co-creators, right? You're making fun of him. How do you do that? How do you just make that happen? How do you, like, you're like,
Starting point is 00:37:36 I'm gonna become... Beyond one of the most popular TV shows and history currently, yeah, I guess. Well, no, that's why we don't. I like things too. Apparently, yeah, I guess. Well, no, that's why we don't. I like things too. I love the devils. I never ever became friends at one of the devils,
Starting point is 00:37:52 even though I would have killed for. I wouldn't buy those energy credits or whatever. But yeah, you just happen to be like, you know what, I like a show and all of a sudden. Bring the creator to me. I wish to bestow my friendship upon him. I want a bromance. I think today I'm requiring a bromance name. Go seek out the creators of what we do in the shadows. It would be a get-em-probably on loan, Yeah, I don't know how do you make that do you even was before
Starting point is 00:38:27 Joker's no it wasn't it was before jokers was probably he didn't fucking know what the fuck But you still had a cachet as being on American television well I think that if I was British maybe I wouldn't have broken through but I was probably the only person in that it states But there is you don't sit there and go, this is weird and you don't think like to yourself, like how does this happen? Like you think of something and it gets done. Now I love, I watch,
Starting point is 00:38:55 if you're like John Wick just like I said the other day, it's not true. There's plenty of shows that I watch that, that I'm, they're not like, hey buddy. If you may, but if you wanted it to happen, it would happen, no. I don't think so. I, you may, if you wanted it to happen, it would happen, no. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I, you know, I told Q the other day, because Q had a very nice screening in the city of John Wick one and two a couple weeks back. Who did? Q did. A private screening? Private screening. Well, for the crew, I'm private with Joe
Starting point is 00:39:18 because I went to like a screening room. And I had my crew come and watch what one it was great man. For what reason? Why that particular movie though? Because the third one was coming out in KC my buddy KC had never seen the first two so I was like oh I said you should come on one I will watch it and then some of the people in the crew said they'd never seen it so I was like yeah I'll just rent out a screener. So you were like I rather than all these people coming to my house, I'll rent 40 people. I can't get so many people in my house.
Starting point is 00:39:50 How much is that cost? You don't have four people in your house. That's not a four man. I want these people to buy this. How much is that cost though? And then you got to get the right to do it. The IOT crew sent ever to be in fights to the castle I'm love down there. Uh, it probably cost I mean
Starting point is 00:40:13 It was a lot it was a lot of popcorn soda and beer. I got an invite. Yeah, you go. Of course I did. I think it did bite There's a man. I never saw John wicks. Oh, you want to do it? I'm going to get for you. Just me, I just want to be... You want to come to my house? Yeah, I'd rather come to the house and go with you. So I just want John Wicks one or two. I've never seen it.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Can you get me three, too? You must be able to get some fucking cash aid. I'm going to get three. Can't you just get three? Can't you just befriend the filmmakers? Can't you just get fucking Wayne or what's or what's the Wayne and who's Wayne? Who's the other dude, Wayne's world, um, Ted and Wayne? Who's, oh, Bill and Ted.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Oh, oh, oh, oh, Michael Winter. Can you get Bill just to fucking act like John Wick and do the reenacted in front of us at your house? There's much more than I can. I think he is a fuck about it. Uh, no, I was that guy. Not Johnny. Can you, yeah, you can't get canneries just to reenact the whole movie. No, Joe and Joe and Murray were at the John Wick 3 premiere.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And they were like, they got introduced to him. And they didn't know who they were at all. He doesn't know who Brad's will do it. Holly Barry did that. How come you didn't go to the John Wick premiere? Because I didn't want to see it in that environment. I kind of wanted to see what the people I've seen the other ones with. So it so for you part of the movie going experiences who you're with? Well, yeah, of course. What the fuck? I mean, you don't go with just strangers to you.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Yeah, but I it's like your movie isn't better or worse because of the person sitting next to me that I don't talk to for two hours. So, right? Yes. You have a lunch beforehand. What's the movie bullshit about left? But if the movie blows, it's not going to be.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Yeah, afterwards, that's the best part. Sound when I've seen every saw movie in theaters. A movie? Saw? Oh, at least it's sore. I was like, what? He probably had a set of it. Yeah, he said, soar. I was like, what? He probably had a sentence.
Starting point is 00:42:06 He did. He sent an island to try for a day of soar. They've given up spelling it correctly. They've just seen the saw. Saw? Franchise. Franchise together. Saw.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Soar. Well, correcting you on L.A. You should. It's really, no. Yeah, to me, like the company of the person I'm with isn't going to change the quality of the movie though. Yeah, but it's a way to spend time with people that you. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Yeah. No, yeah, I get that. Yeah. But making jokes to the person next to you. No. Well, the movie this, this experience was great. Like everybody was drinking. Everybody was blowing. Yes. Like it was really fun. How long was that?
Starting point is 00:42:48 Five hours I ran to the place. What? Did you just start to write it, run right after the other? Is there? No, there was anything. It was like an hour into mission. Everybody went out, got a couple of drinks and then went back an hour in a mission. Yeah. Wow. It's like the old days, man. For you, like, were you okay with an hour in a mission? Yeah, I, it's like the old days man. For you like it. Well, were you okay with an hour intermission? Yeah, I still don't say I'm talking to him. Yeah, Troy came. Yeah, Troy came. Yeah, Troy came. Oh, okay. That was fun. Yeah, it was a good time, man.
Starting point is 00:43:15 You got to do stuff like that everyone's in a lot for the crew, I think. We should have did something like that for our crew. When we had a crew. We don't have a crew anymore You know what about our patreon crew, you know bring out a Popkin and Chuck You can go to the movies with them. I can't make it but you can you can take them to see Aladdin again. You love it so much Well, I'm not gonna rent the fuck at theater. I got a paper on second I got the popcorn. I got a shitload from costs. Pop can you get up to sneak in? I'll shove it down my page. It's gonna look like we all got bubble-pops. We'll get Victor to do it.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah, Victor, he's been working out, so he looks all buff. So just put it under his slashes and muscles. I had a weird experience the other day. One I've never had before. Walt calls me in the morning. He's got a bringover sweatshirt from the Patreon thing, right? So that wasn't in the morning, it was five o'clock at night, but go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Was it that late? Yeah, was it that late? How do I do it in the morning. Yeah, so I'm already a little alarmed It's 5 30 in the evening I thought I was 5 30 in the morning I was like, well, you know, it was early four now But he's like, I'll be over there five minutes and then like a half hour later he got there I was worried that maybe he'd gotten into a car accident but
Starting point is 00:44:48 Once he was there he brings over these two sweatshirts and He's like, you know what size it's not from me. It was from Marybeth and she's in the kitchen So I bring it and she tries it on and like as I'm going back to bring the other sweatshirt to him He's not a vampire because uninvited. He barges in. He pushes past me. And he's like, how's it look on her? No, she only, she was only like a little t-shirt and panties still like with a sweatshirt on it was like right above. Yeah. So, yeah. So, your girlfriend is less than it was was half your age, is in the kitchen, wearing nothing but panties. Yeah. And this structure.
Starting point is 00:45:32 That's amazing. It's not without its pitfalls. How do you pull this off? I don't know. I don't know. I'm like, I know my person, I don't think it's not that good. I know how a mirror works. So I know that's not it. I don't know, maybe once they're in, they just feel threatened. Like, I better not try to go. Um, they know it could be curtains for me. Uh, he, he pushes past me and he's like saying, he's like saying weird stuff. He's like, he's like, everybody in their dress, like he, like,
Starting point is 00:46:01 like he knew maybe they weren't somebody. And then when he sees her, it's like, I know five, six seconds doesn't seem like a long time. But when someone's with their face, their jaw slowly opening, and she was up late last night talking about it. She's like, you don't think we should tell someone. I was like, who can I tell? Oh, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Did you catch an eye full? I don't even think I saw anything. I just immediately turned around and... You were fucking funny. Because I thought about, in the moment, obviously I would have no reason at my phone recording, but if I could have recorded his reaction, which was one of like,
Starting point is 00:46:44 he had just seen somebody get hit by a car or like just, or whatever he was looking at, he's like, I've never seen that before. And he's like, his eyes go around. And he, like, no, with military precision on his boot, he'll spin around. And he goes, oh, he walks the other way. Like, what did nothing to do with that? What would you do if he like, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he you do if you like he he he he he helped him He went up now all right and goes oh and then God if
Starting point is 00:47:14 Or like whatever no, he's literally like So it's not even whatever he's it'll walk out. It's a fucking dismissive of her attractiveness But you knew I was coming yeah, I did so high the hell That's it she put pants on and well, I think that I Didn't tell her you were coming Really he wasn't he did it follow me. He was in the living room and she's in the kitchen. What are you doing in there?
Starting point is 00:47:48 And I go, I was like, how do you think it looks? Like, he comes in and you, ah. Let's see, like, saying that to you, you would embrace it. And be like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,'s like good.

Starting point is 00:48:15 She's like, oh, she's like, you're an asshole. She was. It was funny. And I was like, you know what? I said, you may blame me, but he's known me for over 40 years. He knows 50, 50 chance that when I'm like, you know what? I said you may blame me, but he's known me for over 40 years. He knows 50 50 chance that what I'm like, how does she look that going into that room? Something's fucked up. Something maybe happen. Yes, something may be fucked up
Starting point is 00:48:35 So you roll the dice. It's on you Yeah, Tim. I mean, I just thought she had shorts on so I would then but who I just been around so Because I didn't know what was going on, because then I was like, because then the weird laugh by you. Oh, you're supposed to be full, girl. That's all right, it's time to go. He was gone pretty quick. He was gone pretty quick.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I've been having a great... I've been driving a 1989 crown Victoria around It is so much fun. No to people think you're a cop. No, I think those days are gone. Yeah, but dude. It's out there drove it here. It's not yeah, dude. It is So much fucking fun. It was the in the movie the impractical joke is movie We drive this car around and I have two of them actually because I bought them from production This one I got insurance and registration I put plates on it and I've been sort of weekend driving it type stuff. I fucking love it. And it's got a cassette date.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Wow. And it was in my parents' places weekend and my dad has mixed tape cassettes that he's made from self over the years. So I took them because there's no use of them anymore. And so if it have this weird like connection with my dad now, because I'm listening to his mixed tapes. His mixed tapes. Yeah, it's been he made from software. Yeah, kind of music is he. That's Southern racist shit.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah. Wow. It's a lot of Johnny Cash, a lot of Elvis, a lot of Billy Joel, not a lot of Billy Joel, but a lot of Country. Is it the thing, Willie Nelson? David Allen Coe is that the guy? Yeah. Yeah, that's him, right?
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah, it's been like, I've been texting my dad like, are you in the choice of this? It's like a way to connect what you're doing. You really is, that's cool. I'm like, yeah, you make some pretty good mixtape spot. I'm going directly over to Edgar's, I'm like, where are your mixtape? Yeah, Paul Angerley, like,
Starting point is 00:50:23 he was connecting with his father. Why, why, why is your mix tape? Where's your mix tape? Fuck your mix of Gimium. If I don't listen to him, we can't like each other. Hey, I grew into Red Bank, I listened to the ink spots. Like, think about that. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Cool, is that, you know? I think it's bizarre that he made mix tapes. I thought that was, I thought that was like our generation. I didn't know that was a boomer generation type thing. I don't think he made it like, mixtape is in like, he was in, it was a drive around, I'm want to listen to what he listened to.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Yeah. He just made these things. Do you think he ever made any for your mom? No, I would almost care to. He's standing up and up. He's a little too live crew. Yeah. I would bet the car that he never made one for him.

Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. So the company, don't you have someone that you sent?

But it turned out that my dad's mistakes. My dad's mom was Italian so that they helped immensely. It was the only thing. It was the only thing and then they got married. How did he finally win over the the in-laws? No, it was it was my my his mother, my dad's mother, and my my two grandmothers got together became

It was yeah I mean, you told the story before well remember a flower show. Yeah, remember I Remember I found it on the air I read all diary I found it Oh, yeah, yeah, I met a nice boy Yeah Never dreaming
Starting point is 00:55:33 Even even Edgar at one point in his life could pretend to be a nice boy service of getting what he want like we all do And real it that's really what it is nice boy service and getting what he want. Like we all do. In reality, that's really what it is. He was being nice and not showing that fucking temper or blowing up. I told you that. What do you want back then?
Starting point is 00:55:55 Well, if he didn't get maybe he didn't get what he wanted, but he did get what he wanted. Yeah, I'm evidence. Fucking for mother. Having kids almost out of wedlock. It would be it's horrible to think about though, but do you think it was the first time for Pam? No, no, no, do you think it was the on their first time? Oh, like their first date that she put out?
Starting point is 00:56:17 No, no, no, no, but their first or the first time that I did it. I wanted to be surprised. And then that first time turns into Brian Johnson, the first time, not even like there was some good times before that, it was immediately like realities and to slap them in the face. There's no like, you know what? It must have been a little worse because Edgar was, I think he was in military school. He had to leave military school.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Oh man. Oh, we got thrown out, court martial. Yeah, they're like, you got pussy. Okay, and then you're hat or whatever the thing. That would be a good idea. It looks like a band leader. No, I don't think that's a good idea. Taking, uh, these soldiers, dude.
Starting point is 00:56:54 These are the young girls. You're making a lot of assumptions. I mean, I'm sure she wouldn't want it. She was her lawyer. But, I thought that, but there's like a lot of strict rules, especially back then though. Well, you're like morals clauses. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:10 So like they, that's what I thought. I don't like to hear you. It could be an oxyatic who practically brags about it and you still stay on TV. Do you think there was a chance though? Like they didn't even get a chance to have like a couple months of like just wonderful, beautiful love. But what was immediately like okay, their first time then she's like oh my god.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Oh, I can't wait. It's like seriously abbreviated. He's like what? This is it. And there's no row versus weight at the time. For anybody who's anti-abortion, hey, you're listening to so. I'm a portion survivor, right? Permit. And she's like, I also just placed a gigantic order for a thousand paper towels. Yeah, she's like, we're gonna work on her son. We can make diapers for baby fry. I was baby Edgar for like
Starting point is 00:58:07 Oh, yeah, yeah, oh really? Yeah, they were gonna name me Edgar originally and then change it to Brian. They're like, we need something original that no one's heard of or seen before. Something that's really going to set up. Where it was. So where was the flower show in highlands? I think it was at the church. It would have been like flower power would have been all the rage. Your probably your mom had painted her her face like a midriff
Starting point is 00:58:30 She's got the fringe and that your comes in with She's like last week I shot a black guy at Elkamon Yeah, no, there is like make love not more baby. Yeah, and then she like he was a military school so she put like a flower in the muzzle. It's a metaphor. And he's like, yeah, that's hot. Yeah, that's hot. Yeah, that's so hot. See what I have a weekend furlough or whatever the fuck it is. Went to the flower show. No, really, that's it.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Yeah, why is a soldier going to a flower show? I don't know. He was a soldier. He was like, this is like this is where some other soldier was like, this is where all the chicks are at But go to the flower show. Oh, you think yeah, yeah, he's like they let you do anything to him like with no It is it's the chance in The series of black Strings no, we don't care. It's like free love is in you see
Starting point is 00:59:46 He's done for you bitches man I want to put that won't put pressure. I need to get married Where's Casey little clap to give you a shot you're on your way Yeah, all right I just just well once I get to where I want to just like kind of put it in I just I just once I get to where I want to just like kind of put it in yeah Yeah You're having an argument with your son about your downstairs I was at an hour in traffic asshole
Starting point is 01:00:23 What so I could come and find out that I can't take it to the goddamn pool anyway. He just seems like the space out and he starts going. You know, you see in his head he's dripping back to that flower show. Yeah, his memories are in CB. So like if I was more forward thinking, uh, I would have made F is for family. You ever see that? The billboards. That's like, yeah, it's so fucking so fucking good. Oh my god. Wait a minute
Starting point is 01:00:47 there's a show called that. Yeah, it's an animated cartoon. I think I was using that as my ending to Father Flanagan probably because subconsciously wake up your daughter like that one time. Yeah, it's really close to growing up in the 70s with like the, not the pressure. Recession, the working class parents who are constantly yelling and fighting and all that shit, the like, the kid's not like when you're a kid, you pretty much did whatever you wanted. Like if you saw like an eight year old kid walking around the woods by himself, you'd be like, what the fuck? But we did it all the time. Like it was nothing. Do you, do you often wonder like, did you say like even though you're from uptown highlands, and you had all the amenities that the downtowners didn't have? Yeah. Like altitude. That was it.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Do you often wonder why he had so many children now? Yes. Why didn't he do something about it so he didn't have morph? Yeah, it's like, wasn't the first one like a serious? No, you're talking about cutting out Eric. No, I'm just saying though, like because like he says times was tough. Yeah, he could send you to still have children now. You can't cut out Eric. Yeah, get it.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Cut him out. And if he stopped having kids, then we wouldn't have Eric. No, no, no. You can't cut out Eric. Yeah, can't cut him out. And this has been stopped having kids that we wouldn't have Eric. No, no, but you like to get like, but why do you think I understand? I know they need it for their own sanity. But yeah, why do you think he wasn't like,
Starting point is 01:02:18 you know what, I'm just not gonna, I'm not gonna have six kids. I don't know, really, do you know something I don't? Or five kids. Four. Well, four kids. I don't know really do you know something I don't? Or five kids. Four. Four kids. I don't know I can't say for sure because it's not like at one point we were flush and he's like all right you know like this gravy train's never gonna end so I'm gonna have some more kids it's like anytime there was a kid there was financial strife like. Did you is no way on earth there's like every time he got romantic he had a child? He's like, he's sex four times in his life, he's like, you know what?
Starting point is 01:02:51 I have a really bad luck. I just have bad luck. It's just not worth it. I don't want to do that. At least I can put it somewhere else on her. She seemed reluctant, but I don't know, like the stress that comes with that. Yeah, and it was comfortable. And the painting and the pictures you've painted. Like, why continue to keep having children?
Starting point is 01:03:26 You know, because like those explosions, generally, I came down to money or like coming home and Pam had done nothing around the house, that kind of shit, but yeah, I don't get it. I don't get it. And like, yeah, of course, like in retrospect, you want to sacrifice Eric or Darren, but at the same time, it's like Eric was important till 76.
Starting point is 01:03:46 So you had seven years to be like, all right, our financial picture has not gotten any rosier really. So, no, we're not going to have any more kids but then Eric. And then a year later, financial position this name and Edgar made the mistake of trying to start his own business in the height of the recession. What business? Construction? Yeah, construction stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:09 So and construction was like fallen off because nobody was putting like lending rates for like 18%. It was crazy. And I remember him like and he would do shit that I'm like, like even at the time I'm like, you crazy. Like I'd be in seventh or eighth grade and it was like this old guy That he worked for over in Little Silver and you would do stuff around his house for him and it was like a Noreaster
Starting point is 01:04:30 What food shopping for the guy, you know, did all this shit and then the guy ends up not paying him And then I'd your puts out a bunch of money On some house in downtown Highlands one time and then they didn't pay him and I remember hearing him talking to his partner about burning the house down. Yeah. And I think it's just one of those lies. We should do this. The name of their company was Ark Builders, like Noah's Ark, because they were,
Starting point is 01:04:53 I still have a cart. I still have a company card from probably 1970. Was that good religious? Oh yeah, and the 70s. That's all I hear, he thought Noah was real? I don't know if he was just like, he's real, but I don't, you know, probably did did because if I ever question my parents about that shit It was always spoken like real literally like yeah, the Bible says it. So he said he really believes that some dude
Starting point is 01:05:15 I don't think anymore of every animal and I don't think anymore But if you're not stopping people from teaching your children that you're kind of you either believe it or you're complicit in a whole ship, you know, wow. So you should bring it back. You should make we should do some arc and some sort of project arc, like a business, not construction. Not to be associated with arc, the association for retarded citizens. We're not going to open a thrift store. We're you guys. We don't know what? Well, it's have cocktails coming through. That would make big business though.
Starting point is 01:05:46 We would call it like make an arc thrift store. And it's not really associated with arc. It would make big money. And if we like getting run at people, we'll think it's associated with it. What we call it, ARK. Right. Well, it was so big that the one on Mama Street went out of business. Oh, you ever see the goodwill store in Highlands?
Starting point is 01:06:03 It's crazy. It's packed constantly. There's a lot of people going there. People give you ever see the goodwill score in Highlands? It's crazy. It's packed constantly.

There's a lot of clothing there, and they're in their shit where it's like, who would ever buy this? It's a massive hutch.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Massive. But they do take anything. I guess they must just chuck the shit they don Massive. But they do take anything. I guess they must just chuck the shit they don't need, but they will take anything. Yeah. Goodwill. And I asked them, they were a invasive about it though. I was like, where is the money go? Because I wasn't sure. And they's like, you know, it goes to help out people with special needs. I kind of stuff. But it was like sort of vague. You were asking about just a Clark dough. Yeah. In fact, he might have been a guy with special needs. I don't even know. I'm not sure if they work there to get an ad. I don't think we have any. Yeah, you're asking of just a Clark dough. Yeah, in fact, he might have been a guy with special needs on it
Starting point is 01:07:29 I'm not sure if you know they work there to get an ad. I don't think we have any ads. Yeah, no Okay, well, I was gonna bring up one more thing. I can't remember. Oh, fucking I saw this this thing what what's You're a pretty good judge. Well So there's this girl she's 17. She's one of these Instagram models, which I'm not sure if you have sponsorship at pace, but I don't know how many people have sponsorships. So, there's a 17-year-old Polish model girl, she's an Instagram model. She thought it would be funny to take a hammer and smash the nose off a 200-year-old statue. What?
Starting point is 01:08:10 Right. Oh, where are we? That's gonna hurt her followers. It already has. She loves the followers. She's not going to. Where was the statue? Where was it? That's fucking nuts, mate.

I think she know wasn't old statue. She knew. And she just- Did she know how old it really was? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:08:49 She said that. She doesn't know why she did it. Well, I could, I'm sympathetic to that. I don't know what it is. It's only a six second video, but- She posted herself doing it. She actually is like, here I am. Oh my God, what's wrong with her?
Starting point is 01:09:08 That is some girl who ever is recording it is laughing. And I'm like, what? Okay, so what's going through your head where you're like, I know what people will love. Like, why would you? And it's not like it's a statue of some controversial character. Like we have in the South here and people. I don't know. You don't know. I can don't or whatever. Yeah, it's not like it's a statue of some controversial character like we have in the South here and people I'm not you know not condone or whatever. Yeah, it's just you know what it is though. I can let's let's remember she's 17 Yeah, and in this world where you constantly need to create content you can make errors in judgment You're constantly having to create content for your follow man. I mean I smash the nose off buddy crates for patreon
Starting point is 01:09:56 Dude I got likes But that's that's the world we live in now where you're like you're making bad choices because you're like I got to create content I got to be out there. I got to be edgy. I don't and you just are like you lose Site of what's what's right and wrong because and you're just so Yes, no excuse For attention, but but what you could do is say like okay She's like I'm the gnome hunter and then she just goes around and smashes, not real dwarfs around. I can see her face.
Starting point is 01:10:30 I was like, I love that. Yeah. I watched that. I would watch that. Frank five presents, no, not sure. But you go around smashing people's garden noons and while malicious and illegal Isn't destroying history it's destroying it. That's destroying a tacky lawn ornament really So if I like that you think I don't agree with it because you're ruining people stuff, but I get it
Starting point is 01:10:58 This is I'm like, who did you think was gonna like this aside from the the friend that's recording it? I know like who's gonna like this. Oh from the friend that's recording it. You know, like who's gonna like this? Oh yeah, that was a really bad, bad decision on her part to then think that people would dig that. Uh, and it's amazing how many people think like, okay, I'm good looking, that's enough. I can do anything. I can do anything I want, and people will pay attention to me,
Starting point is 01:11:23 and people will go online and tell me how great I am for being good looking. To coast on that. Can't she come back from this queue? I guess it's always a way but I don't see why anybody would bother getting her a path. What would you do if you were her to try to repair her? Hardly. He's the PR firm. Well, no, he's like, you know, she goes to him and she's like, what can I do? How can I win back and get my followers back? I mean, the first thing I did was really understand what you did wrong.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Like, it's not. I think she does. So then you gotta come out and be like, you gotta explain, you gotta cop to it, you gotta be like, I was. Actions, what can, what actions can she do? Can she like, I'm gonna try and raise one and then repair the statue and like fix it because what I did was, what if she devotes her life to sculpting
Starting point is 01:12:11 gnomes? Well, that doesn't really fix what she did though. Oh, for every, for that, for every, yeah, but who cares about her gnomes? I'm gonna sculpt 20 gnom you can make up for that one. I destroyed it's not repairing the damage she's done. She's still making it about her. Now she needs a drum of interest in her stupid fucking
Starting point is 01:12:32 Nomes. So I'm sorry. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah. Now it's said in the article that she had 6,000 followers on Instagram. I'm looking at her Instagram now and she has 7,300 followers.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Oh, she got more followers. Which still I'm just like, how is she an Instagram model? I mean, then Sage is an Instagram model. Sure. Because mostly I just put up pictures of Sage, we have like, what, almost 30,000 followers. So maybe she's an influencer and model. Just make sure, you know, when she sees a gnome statue,
Starting point is 01:13:00 don't let her. I'm like, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know normally we smash people stuff. I'm like, yeah, well, well, well, well. I know normally we smash people stuff in an article the other day. I got to put a call out for Pam, her book. Well, she has three books now. The trilogy is written and she showed me this piece of paper with like she had contacted some company
Starting point is 01:13:26 and publishing, they're gonna publish, but vanity publishing, so it's not like random house, basically some publishing. But they give you all these, it's like we edit it and we design the cover and we'll make you a webpage and one of the things that I've been doing. Now this is a story that you read oh so many years ago, one chapter wolf.
Starting point is 01:13:49 And okay, this is, it's done. Done. The trilogy is done. But she needs, the big thing she needs is an editor. They also said they would make, they're like, they want supply the editor. And they're pitched it. No, they will, but it's so expensive.
Starting point is 01:14:04 I'm like, this is not worth it. Like you all this stuff you're getting is not worth it One of the things was the guy in the pitch video He's like, you know, we'll make a video that will hopefully go viral Yeah, I'm like well, have you had any videos? Oh, no matter how much you hope I said we can when we have guys come down, one of these times I was like, we can make a quick video for it. Sure. Right?
Starting point is 01:14:29 It'll take nothing to do it. What's a good email address though? Do you know, is it help at? Tell me, I'll just do what? Because I want editors. Yeah, if you're an editor and you want to work with the trilogy, we're gonna have to read the trilogy, I guess, and do their editing.
Starting point is 01:14:44 And she's gonna pay for it. Oh no editing. And she's gonna pay for it. No, no, no, no, she's gonna pay for it. You don't have an email? No, I forget what it was, shit, sorry, now I'm stumbling. I thought it was help at tellumsteedave.com and then he can just forward them to me. Why are you just doing on the website
Starting point is 01:15:03 on thetelmsteedave..com there has to be a contact info. Oh yeah, go to that, yeah that's a good idea. Go to tomsteadave.com if you're an interested editor and go to the contact and send it to Tommy Lincoln. Just put in the what's the subject line editor. Does she have, has she looked into submitting it to real publishing houses? You can't do it without an agent that doesn't take on the solicitor. Yeah, and it's almost impossible, right? I don't know. I don't know. Nothing's impossible. It's not not totally impossible. Highly unlikely. Yeah. How many people don't want to read that shit? Oh my god. If each three books,
Starting point is 01:15:41 if each one's 300 pages, probably like 900 pages of that shit you got a slog through. Probably one good part of the story I know. Have you have you team? Do you, why, you don't think there's any more scenes of that level of depravity? I can have hope so. Sure. Like I said, like I just read that,
Starting point is 01:16:05 like that's as far as I got, because that's pretty much as far as she had gotten at the time. So I don't know though if she's quick enough or cognizant enough to realize like that's what stuck out. I'll just do more of that stuff. Yeah. Whatever the people I got. Well, memorial day to everybody and I'm probably Always in the start of TSD sink O TSD mine. Yeah, this is it. This is it. We're in it. We're right in the thick of it
