Starting point is 00:00:00 I mean Mike, is that how you're playing chess all the time? Yeah, check this. Fucking check your check. I believe it was a MacAvellian plan to emasculate me in front of Mary Beth. That's the Johnson Rowan loves. Yeah. Yeah. It's not Mike. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Tell them Steve Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them Steve Dave. I'm here with Walt and not exactly a fully human queue. No more Robo queue. You're not traveling with your little iPad anymore. No, I can speak again in short doses. Little short, little durations. Yeah, about 15, 10, 15 minutes an hour.
Starting point is 00:01:21 All right, so it's gotta be sparing, Walt. Every word that comes out of my mouth will be a gem. It'll be a goal. It has to be. You've got to pick your spots. If you're going to speak, it'd better be a home run. Exactly correct. Exactly correct.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I mean, you could hear it's still got a little bit of the raspiness, but that's coming to go. It sounds a little weak, not weak in a bad way, just like it's not. Like a feminine? No. No. Just a little bit. just like it's not like a feminine. No, no. It's not as strong. Yeah. It definitely sounds like you're intentionally like guarded. You have to have to be a, have to be guarded and also my vocal cords are still swollen from the surgery, probably another few weeks on that. But when I got to speak for the first time and I heard
Starting point is 00:02:06 my voice as it was before the two years of rasping this it was I felt like a young man. Like one of those kids you see in videos where like they're hearing for the first time. Yeah and we do yeah but we do these conference calls constantly about the TV show and everything like that. And every time I spoke, nobody knew who's me because I was so used to my old... Oh really? Yeah, yeah. This is pretty funny. Was that one of the IJ kids' sons?
Starting point is 00:02:37 I should have said that. Cute Junior. Now it's the doctor. When is it where you could just like like really like if let's say you went to like a sporting event you want to like boo the ref or something. Yeah. And you want to scream at the top of your lungs. And could you do that? You're looking at next year. Next year being extreme. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so what are what about other things that you do at your mouth? Like what about like anything like that?
Starting point is 00:03:05 I have no restrictions on that though. You're weird. Suck as many penises. I'm like no restrictions, huh? No, no, because they get two different pipes. They work with the two different pipes. And automatically. You do.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Sometimes for different pipes. But the doctors and the anesthesiologist or pipes going at once. What are their answers if like you really support a team in the Super Bowl this year? Like what if it's like your team or your friends team? You got to make sure you're I think that they would say yeah this year maybe not watch the game because I'll get too excited and scream, you know. Do you think you'll ever like after being so guarded and so aware of not raising your voice do you think you'll have a hard time ever raising your voice ever again to those levels. I can almost agree. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get there and summit it up. Yeah. I'll try and
Starting point is 00:04:10 stop at it at some point. But yeah, no, it's good. It's good to be Thanksgiving was a little tough because I only speak for 10 minutes an hour. What'd you do? Where'd you go? I went to my mom's. My whole family was there. so it was a little difficult. Good, true. But difficult being a sliding scale. I would have thought your dad had that surgery and just told everyone, like, I'm never going to recover. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:35 That's good. It's nice. What'd you do for Thanksgiving? Did you go out or did you just stay home? I went out to go out to eat. You know, just do it with the brother law a mother law It's very simple close to home. We were backed by like seven anywhere good What I was saying who the hands is really nothing else open. You know, there's all hands the place well
Starting point is 00:04:58 I know it was only by By you know elimination of like either the places that were opened't have any room for us because we waited too long or every other place we wanted to go to was closed. So it's just like, oh, was it a pizza hut in Walmart last year or something like that? I did go to a pizza hut after a 20 black Friday, you know, I'm not doing Thanksgiving. But black Friday began right after Thanksgiving dinner
Starting point is 00:05:21 and I want to Thursday night. So I'm an eventful. You want to out? This year? Yeah, I went out night. So on a ventful. You went out? This year? Yeah, went out. Where do you go? Holy answer. No, no, no, not to eat.
Starting point is 00:05:29 I mean to shop for black Friday. Oh, for black Friday? At this year, I didn't go out for black Friday this year. No. Yeah, there was nothing I was. There was no door busters. There was nothing that excited me. I don't understand black Friday anymore.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Like unless it's a door buster, unless you're getting a TV for $3 and chanceing your life, isn't this shit just as cheap on Amazon or something? I just got a feeling that in this day and age that like in the especially when you're trying to get everybody's like dollar, it's like everybody's doing it. You don't need to go out at like two o'clock in the morning, you know, you can wake up on Friday What was very normal time and just log on and get it somewhere?
Starting point is 00:06:10 It was very cut and dry back in the day where it's like okay. It's black Friday line up as long as you want but Here's the time the store opens and that was on Friday And now it's Thursday or Thursday morning or maybe Wednesday, you know So it's like there is no real black front anymore Right, I don't mind that they opened it a little earlier. I think it's good for people who are like god damn it I want to get out of this fucking house. I can't stand it Everybody's family over you can use it as an excuse to be like I'm gonna get this doorbusters Doorbusters waiting. I don't get it now. Never get it. Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Dave, I gotta go. That's my nickname around the house in your buster.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Oh wow, all right. I told you guys earlier, I have to, as many take a little while, I have to get some advice from you. Because I've, for a long time, I've, some people call me a bully, ridiculed people, made fun of them to make other people laugh. And now the chickens may be coming home to roost.
Starting point is 00:07:14 They may be coming home to roost, especially one of them, a real cock. Oh really? Is that something to do with those guys? Yeah. Oh, I really, I thought for sure this is the thing you wanted us to be able to play was about something that happened on Thanksgiving at your house. Oh, no, no, no, thanks. Giving I went to I went up to Vernon. There's this place that has a yeah, yeah, how's the pool? No, I did not skiing doesn't open a thing until after Thanksgiving. Anyway, now they have like a pool and a hot tub and shit and sage like the swim so we went up there but left early because she was bad. Left it dearly she got
Starting point is 00:07:51 punished. Wow she was that misbehaving that you're like we got it we have to cut the shit. We have to cut the trip short. It was it's ongoing this line like she lies about shit. Little things, like, but it's usually the same thing. Like, I'll be like, in the shower, did you wash your hair? Did you condition your hair? And she always says, yes, but she hasn't. And she knows God damn well, what she's doing.
Starting point is 00:08:17 She's just lazy, she doesn't feel like doing it. Like every other fucking little kid. Because she's 13, but she's not really 13. So I asked her, I guess this would have been Friday. I said, hey, she had the shower. I said, did you condition your hair? I said, yeah. And I said, let me see it.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Let me see there. And I get tell it's all ratty and shit. And then I looked into the shower and the little bodily conditioners they were unused. I said, that's it. We're going, come on. I said pack your stuff. I said, I told you the we're going, come on. I said pack your stuff. I said, I told you the last time,
Starting point is 00:08:47 if you lied, you're going to be in trouble. I said, now this is it, we're now we're leaving. So we left and I felt awful doing it, but I did happen to know that the pool was like kind of cold because one of the heaters broke, so it's not like she would have been able to go in anyway. But I told her, we stopped for lunch on the way back and she signed a contract, because I told her also, for lunch on the way back and she signed a contract because I told her also in addition to the pool
Starting point is 00:09:08 I was like you can't use your iPad or a TV for the rest of the day But then when we got to lunch, she signed a contract that if she if she does a lie anymore She can skate on the iPad and TV, but if she does lie, I'm a week Of no iPad or TV Not big because she's that shit a lot I've been throwing around that that threat We're leaving our vacation early if you don't do or if you don't behave I mean, I don't know. I've never heard of anyone ever falling through. I've heard of one other person, and if it's true, I feel like you may have, you would have
Starting point is 00:09:48 already heard this story, but I heard Joe Grasso one time was so mad on a vacation, a family vacation, heading somewhere that he was like, that's it, and like, they didn't get there. Turned around. Well, I wasn't there somewhere. Right, yeah. But I know I heard that story about that's impressive though that you stick stuck to it. You think it all have dividends? I think so far so good. You know, little gentle
Starting point is 00:10:13 reminders here and there can do the hair's been conditioned. Because it's like ultimately I'm like I tell her I'm like, look, do you want to be the smelly kid in class? I was like, you don't. You definitely don't, you know. And she's so, so like such a romantic that I'm like, boys aren't gonna wanna go near a girl. It's like, radihist, hair and stuff, you know? So, I don't know. That was it. A little bit of a blow up.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Wouldn't be Thanksgiving or any other holiday without one. So you chose to not spend it with Payam or record? Well, they were out in California. They went out to Erics. It sounds like it was a nice Thanksgiving until the... It was decent until then. And then until sage ruined it. Yeah, sage ruined everything for everyone. I remind her still. No, so a couple of things happened where I do think Mike maybe he may be attempting dismantle my life. Wow, because he has gone on record and called you a boy. No, but people do say that I have bullied he and me in the past.
Starting point is 00:11:22 People very close to me. Oh, we're not people that I say shut up and go to sleep. We're not doubting that, are we? I mean, I surely should deserve whatever's coming your way. Yeah, you cannot be a victim of this. They go back at you in any way, shape or form. I mean, they have carte blanche to do anything they want to you. But here's the problem.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I mean, but I love you. I mean, they could drain your bank account. I think a drain something. I mean, look at do anything at this point and you still would have the upper hand after all the shit you said and all the jokes you've cracked. Yeah, well, it affects my friends though. It spills over to affect you guys. Well, no, it's not just me. Yeah, well, that's a different story. I've never been anything but great to those guys. Yeah, I agree. You never say that kind of stuff
Starting point is 00:12:11 about. I know badmouth those guys. And you want to comment on that? I agree with you on that. I think he's remained pretty much like fluid. Yeah, there's no reason. I like those guys. You don't put a stop to it And you won't and you won't stand up and be like you know enough enough No, I'm definitely watching that the normal radio I'm Steve Dave. I'm watching them drag my Jewish neighbors out of their house going all right And as long as it ain't me without a doubt I mean I have thought on record though I mean I want to my own order, but I've got a record and said that you've gone too far and like this is not cool. You really should
Starting point is 00:12:49 knock that off. Yeah, then even on comic book, Ben, you did try to not laugh. Yeah. Try it. Right. There was a couple times I successfully, yeah. Well, that's when they were telling jokes. they were telling jokes. But anyway, this affects you guys and it's a concern because this is this is public. I'm very curious how it affects me. Okay. Well, I'm really, really curious how this is going to affect me. I'm surprised you're not aware of it already. It could have like the after effect, the after effect. Like, whether the second shoe hasn't dropped yet, you're saying, I don't think so. Yeah. I think. And then the pants. Come on. The episode, the first opportunity to get it. I don't watch my
Starting point is 00:13:43 throw 20 minute. I wanted to put the fake minute mark, and I can't speak anymore. I just lose that voice, where I'm not a fan of like a Ming. Yeah, so the Mike and Ming show, everybody loves it. Everybody's like a show is back. It was like family guy. It was on
Starting point is 00:14:06 hiatus for fuck. It seemed like a couple of years. Yeah. It was a very long time. Then I'm not sure if it's like an ice-hull comics, Mike and main show. It's not on the Mike and main banner, so everybody got real excited when it came out. Me especially because you know a fan. fan. So imagine my shock and horror when I'm listening to this show. It occurred to me, I mean Mike, he's having some playing chess all the time. Yeah, checkers. Fucking checkers, you're gonna see what happened. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:37 How did you, Tugley, why did you, you listening to this? Yeah, thinking I'll keep up the date on Mike and Ming. Just download it one day. Just download it. Listen. Someone brought to his attention. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody after we were listening to it. T.S.D. Brittany. I'm sure. I have to. I'll let him of this flight. Yeah, well, I'm curious to have a letter him of this flight. Yeah, well, I'm curious to see what you guys think once you hear it, because I'm not the only one.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Okay. It was like making hay style, right? You know, it's Chris's sponsor though. No, he's not. No, so we may have to get flood insurance from all your water damage insurance from SBfinancialinsaid.com. If you need flood insurance, all my God,
Starting point is 00:15:24 now we're starting to sound like actual DJs. I wouldn't worry about that, boys. I don't think so. I think they're okay. He sounds concerned and I just want it to like, you know, swagest fears that. I thought, you know, not opening on the slight, you know, setting a bad,
Starting point is 00:15:42 you're just getting off on the wrong foot here. No. Like you're attempting to start off where you can throw a jab immediately Why not starting with what caused you what raised your dander? So since he's not here and can't counter it. I'm just sort of Selectively taking things and using them to my advantage No, you know He should be here. Yeah, You want to use this? Get him as it is asking. Uh, now this will be okay. Yeah, it sounds fine. Thanks. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:16:14 All right. So that's, you know, the rest is about us. What's the drop? It's like last week. We could. It's pretty new. Very recent. Okay. If you need for all your flood insurance needs, starting to sound like it's our friends over at Tom's Steve Dave. Have you listened to one of their episodes? At least ads constantly. ads constantly. Is it? I don't I didn't think so. We have our fair share of ads though, but what what's wrong with that? You'll find out. But the ads that we do are, we could do them in 30 seconds, but we make a choice to make them as entertaining or try to make them as entertaining as the rest of the show. I feel the same way. We make a choice to do it the way we do it.
Starting point is 00:16:58 But this is, hey, maybe this is just him offering constructive criticism and he's like, it's awkward when you tell somebody like, hey you're doing you should do it better like we do Right, you know he wants to say that to you so but can't it is awkward So he's going to say it through he assumes you listen we've lost money and lost People at the altar of making them entertaining for the audience to listen to People at the altar of making them entertaining for the audience to listen to Mm-hmm, so I don't know if Ming is understanding that like easy saying tell them see if they've sold out
Starting point is 00:17:35 I'm not gonna look at that. I mean to just say that then I think I don't know if we sold out when you're fucking Doing an ad for a couch company mm-hmm, and you start talking about Hitler and Jeffrey Posos that sounds to me like the opposite of selling out. Yeah, you're right. I'm still corrected. I guess I was just out about myself. But I think I was thinking about selling out a couple days ago. Yeah. I wish I could do it.
Starting point is 00:18:00 But I think it's not up to the person who, like it's not up to me to say we're selling out. It's up to us to say we're selling out because everyone has their own personal level of selling out. But isn't fans who are like, yeah, they sold out, they did this, they sold out. I mean, it's he could definitely
Starting point is 00:18:17 isn't out to his opinion. Oh, he absolutely is. But I'm not sure I agree that, like, let's say I'm a fan of uh you know I'm a fan of impractal jokers and I'm like they've sold out because of X and you're like no I was always prepared to do X. If I do is Y or Z then I sold out so it's like they don't even know what your personal level is. Let me give you an example though. Okay. I cannot believe some of the things I'm seeing come down the pike for this band, Metallica. Pops, fucking jigsaw puzzles, story books.
Starting point is 00:18:55 And just like, this is the fun band that was fucking that rolled the fucking world and was the next. That we named our bowling team after. I mean, yeah, that's a big one. I'm very, very hard for me not to go like, they fucking sold out. Now, I understand why you would sell out at this point in the game because it's 2019 and everyone's taking your shit for free anyway. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:16 So I get it. You try to recoup anywhere. We don't make these jigsaw puzzles so one will. We need that money. I get it though, but it's hard to say you haven't sold out when you're fucking talking jigsaw puzzle. It is strange. Yeah, um, when you're Metallica, God knows how much they got for it.
Starting point is 00:19:35 And you're like, you're like, but if you asked Metallica, like ask us 10 years ago, do you think you would do this? Who knows? As Metallica, when they first started, hey, do you think you would do this? Who knows? As Metallica, when they first started, hey, do you think someday you guys would sell Jigsaw puzzles of yourself? There's no way 18 year old Hetfield is a lot, he's breaking a whiskey bottle over somebody's head.
Starting point is 00:19:52 We even ask them, right? You know? So maybe it changes too, like your level of what's selling out is. Yeah, but that's the game though. If you're trying to remain the same person you were when you started, so. I don't think it's possible. That's what a database is if you're trying to remain the same person you were when you started. It's a wonderful thing.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I don't think it's possible. That's what the ampase is trying to hold you to. I don't think it's possible. There's certain things that are going to change. I think I've had it. So I'm having achieved it though. Who? Uh, off the top of my head right now.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I mean... Tom Brady. I thought I was like, uh, somebody on like... I don't know, the Zeppelin cello? Um... Now I think they got a chance to, right? They walked away when they could have got a different drummer and they didn't, you know, they don't put out crazy merch, do they?
Starting point is 00:20:40 And the three issues, but I don't, I want to say that selling out. Do they own the publishing rates, you know? Like that's's all the other thing like who knows who leave and owns the music But I think a fan base is always going to like look at you and want you to remain that same person you were when they discovered you Mm-hmm. And I think that's just natural though Yeah, like Ozzy did Ozzy recently did a song with some rapper Some famous rapper at the Grammys or whatever. When I wonder like I'm sure a lot of people are like, you know, old Ozzy never would have done that. But it's like, what if he just wanted to try it?
Starting point is 00:21:13 What if he's like, he heard the rapper and he's like, I like that. And the guy's like, Hey, you're Ozzy. I want to rap with you. Maybe just want to just want it to do it. Again, blue is on head off. Like, you don't get a chance. No, you never sold out. So, all right. Well, a little constructive criticism from Ming-Chan.
Starting point is 00:21:30 He thinks we have too many ads. Is it really? Yeah, remember how they used to complain about other podcasts? I don't recall that having other podcasts having too many ads. Yeah, I don't listen to any other podcasts. I don't know if I've ever listened to a podcast in my life. Now, listen to podcasts all the time. And there are ads where like there's a couple that it's a pre-recorded ad for like 60 to 90 seconds and you know what I do. I hit fast forward 30 seconds three times and I move on.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Or do you just think about something else? I would it just wouldn't occur to me to complain. Right. That's funny. But anyway that's there's a lot of fake news and some of it is going to start affecting you guys a little bit more. Well, they complain if they complain. There's nothing that Brian does not complain about. So even when he's getting paid, especially when he's getting paid. Yeah, they disparage it.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Avertise are so much like the advertiser like complained and pulled out. Or I think the advertiser is like, whoa, whoa, you guys got back off on us. It's stuck. This isn't cool. Okay. So no, the way it went was the advertiser did not care for the ad in the beginning of something offensive. So I went back and did a super condescending ad, which is basically doing the opposite of
Starting point is 00:22:44 selling out. It's pretty punk rock. Being you know what you want to be fucking asshole about it Then here's your fucking precious ad. I don't feel that selling out of my main issue with it was dumb I agree to that. I should have just sold out in the moment right cost us a lot But my issue with what's going on here is just like they haven't you with what's going on here is just like they haven't described to anybody what tells you, Dave, is who we are and any of what our history would be compared to it is it's just assuming that everybody who's listening to it listens to tells you. I think that's the only thing they got right in this look. Fair point.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Continue. The slings and arrows, especially from my ex-Apps, start coming fast and furious. I'm going to keep defending them, though. I think they do need an advocate, so this is good. Knowing how difficult it is to make content. Right. At some point, you're just searching for something to talk about so this is probably what just happened here You know, they're constantly out on the make to make content
Starting point is 00:23:50 They got to make more content make more content make more content. No, they don't I would know what he's asking to do that Who says it's not a law You know, they they lack something that they know you know know, they can talk about it with some level of expertise They people here and be interested Right maybe possibly but I mean again We've done it in the past. We've talked about isalkomics. We've talked about those guys We've created content off their backs Right and clean certain fluids off them too
Starting point is 00:24:22 clean certain fluids off them too. As friends, they were drunk and we wanted to, yeah, anything. Any time you could go. You could tell them that's a low blow or something. Long show ahead of us. I want to make sure my voice is okay. A little bit more here. Let's go. Well, they did that with a bunch of stuff like Adam and Eve.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah, nature box. Nature box and Eve. Yeah, nature box. Nature box. Yeah, they call nature box. If you don't know as like a box delivery service with like healthy food in it, I think Walt said it was food for douche bags. Add for them. So I'm not sure what their point is there. I think that we mock advertisers, right?
Starting point is 00:25:04 Are they staying affect or are they saying was stupid for doing that this way? He's amused Mike's life, ain't he? Mike's laughing, yeah, I think he said like he was like, that's funny. He was, he was, I think darn listener base was when I heard it. Right, a collective gaffal at our expense. No. No.
Starting point is 00:25:25 No. Those guys are on the... At us. No. My mic seems a legitimately laugh at it because he thought it was... It was... It was humorous. Let's be starting a little ugly.
Starting point is 00:25:37 We love our sponsors, Osashim Reyes. Thank you for supporting us. Ross Brurie. We love Ross. Ross Brurie. We also written us a check. So, this is... Yes. So, BlueJ blue juice comics who have been with us from the beginning. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:49 So we love and Tom Tom get that check in the mail. Yeah. Blue juice is still advertising with them. I think they're looking around at their walls, grasping for like who else can we say? We've already got Sasha Maria. Nobody knows who the fuck she is. Ross brewing well What did they give it? Okay, they gave us a six pack
Starting point is 00:26:08 I think it's kind of odd too because I have R&H R&H peer right so oh there are they're all over Instagram guest bartending down at the Ross brewery Well now I'm like a competitor. Well, that's like me Doing an ad for another podcast studio or booking time. You wanted if you did some of the page. No, that's not what he's saying. No, I wouldn't support him. You think that if a podcast studio opened up Jack's music and paid us to do an ad that we would do it? I don't think we do it.
Starting point is 00:26:42 No, I agree with that. But you wouldn't just like, I don't know, I guess you're right. Yeah, I definitely wouldn't. So they're doing ads for absolutely wouldn't it? A direct competitor for your company? You wouldn't narrow even a mention of R&H beer. And he was there. He was invited to the kickoff party.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Yeah, and he came in. Maybe he was just gathering evidence. Maybe, maybe. Oh, well. Maybe you just got to the kickoff party. Yeah, and he came in. Maybe he was just gathering evidence. Maybe, maybe. Oh, maybe you just got to meet or exceed whatever your company's paying them. I'm just saying, Ming could do whatever he wants. It's 20. Ming could do whatever he wants. I'm just saying, I wouldn't as a friend advertise.
Starting point is 00:27:20 This guy, I mean, but you know what? That being said, the guy Russ Brusper is super him. I think it's good. It's good. It's good. These guys need it. These guys need on spot. Just like get to I mean I. I don't know. No, I agree. They probably should take it because ultimately it's not really going to matter at all. Except I don't know whatever they get. They'll get whatever they get. But you know, it's not I don't think somebody's going to matter at all except I don't know whatever they get they'll get whatever they get but You know, it's not I don't think somebody's gonna be like hmm a Ross brewery or an R&H It's like they're not gonna ever get that have to make that decision. Why? Because our nature will be everywhere this year will be in my king's office
Starting point is 00:28:01 But it might be like a local local bar somebody moses up and they think it's two things. And they're like, oh, I can make talked about that raw spru. Let me try that. Well, how about I put my, my, my warm up jacket on. I get that my, my, my sunglasses got my eye rock and I'll go start visiting local bars and be like, you carry R&H. And R&H is what you're carrying. if you carry this rust shit. How day? You're gonna break some kneecaps. I'm gonna break kneecaps. Well we get windows. We get a new Jersey license within the next month so. So that man can't advertise anymore. He's gonna have to have this a very difficult conversation with this rust brewery guy.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Alright, so how much I'm gonna spawn I'm gonna start sponsor and tell them through Steve Dave You're gonna yeah, I'm a R&H is gonna start sponsor and tell him Steve. All right. Oh, yeah Hey, how about that? Well, can we give it the same treatment we give borough? Row, you put your foot down there. My voice will be fine, that day. So they enjoy that we made fun of nature box and Adam and even all that stuff, I guess. I took it as like that he thought that we lost them as advertisers for making fun of them. Well, we have lost advertisers. There's no. But no, we haven't lost them.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Look, there's no advertiser aside from apparently Mjundi's Casper and Casper, like stay with podcasts forever. Like it's been years and years. But we've actually definitely lost accounts like Sherry's Barriers. We lost Sherry's Barriers on Barrow. Those are the two we lost. Other than that, we've never done anything that made a sponsor walk away. Yeah. And more to come, if you want to sponsor us, if you want sponsors that won't disparage you, that love your product.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. Spongebob. I know I sell comics you get me and Mike you're killing me because this is because Brian's always Always bitching about us like riding their co-tape. He said that I'm always bitching about them riding our co-tales My hand to god may sage be struck dead this moment. I've never ever ever Even made a joke about the riding co-tales ever Maybe you've said something that he's interpreted as a, or maybe it's fucking obvious,
Starting point is 00:30:29 but I've never said it. Comments like that, for instance. No, no, no, I'm just kidding. I literally have never said that. I would never be that arrogant. Like I wouldn't say something like that. And I don't feel that way. And if they are, they've done a fucking piss poor job with it.
Starting point is 00:30:51 But this is where cute, you may consider legal action because this is all about you. Oh, I think I know what this is. Something stolen. No, no, okay, go keep going. That was term. And I mean, I'm fine with that. Me too. I'm like, I'll write you. Hey, look, go keep going Else term and I mean I'm fine with that me too. I'm like I'll Hey, look you've been Brian you've been riding Kevin's co-tails for years and now you're like trying to sashay over on to Brian Quinn's I mean Is that where this so where is that where the fucking like the jam got it to
Starting point is 00:31:19 Real it actually I know what I'm fucking doing. I'm gonna fucking download this I got making a style. Well, let me tell you it didn't hurt once I heard this but the second part actually happened first Which made me kind of annoyed with Mike and then when I heard this I was like well obviously I got to cut it up and But that if okay, so he said that Mike said that it's funny coming from me since I ride Kevin's co-tales and I've sat shade over to cues. But how? It's, well, that's not the point. The point is he stole that joke from you. You made that joke about me at your roast.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Oh, that's right. That stolen plagiarized material. Yeah. And I don't know if you want to talk legality or maybe just like a season to assist that they can't start using all your jokes. I mean I could send the letter. I mean maybe if they did some more and age commercials or something they could work it off. I don't know. Well they went no not even a commercial just come on. You need them as your pitchman. All they have to do is publicly shun Ross brewery. Oh, I do that. They're
Starting point is 00:32:28 very nice at Ross brewery. Yeah, that is he did seal that for me. 100% stable. Wow. That was the thing that I was just like, first off, it doesn't matter me what he says. I don't care. But when I heard that, it was like, is he serious? Are they gonna steal a joke? Do you believe that? Take nothing care? I believe it doesn't. Yeah, I honestly do not care. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:32:50 You won't do this if you didn't care. No, I... I want to talk to you about that. What time is it? Did you put it in? Oh, this? Less than 15 minutes. Less...it's really short.
Starting point is 00:32:59 There's only one other tiny little part. We'll get to that right now. So, he acknowledges it right there. That's the end of it. He acknowledges that he gave me a dig and I don't know what to do about it. Yeah, I've always told you. The best revenge for you is when you go in and nobody knows that you were stung. Like you had one today I saw that Gidem showed me on Twitter that that just was so innocent and so there's no
Starting point is 00:33:33 vinaigret it for anybody who else is is reading it but Mike's mentioned something about somebody compared him to Princess Leia and Mike went on to talk about how like you know that this person thought that they were insulting him by being a Princess Leia and he was like, Princess Leia had more balls than Luke Skywalker and Han Solo and Mike was like really going off, you could tell he was upset by this. It was like I'm proud to be like Princess Leia.
Starting point is 00:33:57 It's a fry. It's a fry sentence. It's a tweed thing. It's a tweed thing. I was like, what was it like? Oh, it was like she also made out with my brother. It took me a second, but I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Little punctuation. Yeah. But look. Yeah, go ahead. Well, I just, I also want to question a logic, and I'm a fan of Princess Leia, but how does she have more balls in her and Luke put together? Uh, I mean, I would have to see the,
Starting point is 00:34:43 I would have to see what he did. Well, I'll pull it up and Like what is the argument there because I can't I think she was a ballsy lady I think she was extremely ballsy, but more than you could say equal and I'd be like sure, but I mean she was fucking on you have been looking at that screen while Fucking Luke was in the trench and Han was pulling his ass out of the fire. She was in the in the in the garbage Two though the garbage pit. Yeah, they were rescuing her from fucking your boss. I know what?
Starting point is 00:35:09 She fucking, she killed Jawbone out there, help. Yeah, she showed this. That's what I was one of Mike's points. Yeah, I agree. I just thought that I was just looking for a place where I'm not saying, yeah, she had to get rescued again by Luke. That is true. But what I'm saying is, I agree that she is as balls, Luke,
Starting point is 00:35:24 but to make the same way that she's more ballsy on it. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, like, okay, so this is constantly having to ask you words. Why didn't you even send her in as Bo-sheet? I don't know. Why didn't you even do that? Did she do that without his knowledge? I don't think so. I think it was like, go ahead dress up as Boshi. You're like, what's the plan? And you handed Chewy to them. Like, what is the plan? That is funny.
Starting point is 00:35:56 So first somebody called Ming Niam Noob. And I guess that's what started the whole thing. And then this guy flashback generation says, does that make Johnson Akbar, Waltz, Mo'Nmoth, Mo'Nmothma? Isn't Mo'Nmothma a cold woman? Yeah, with that thing. For red hair.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Goes without saying that Mike gets to be Leia. Then Mike says, I know you meant it as an insult, but Leia had more balls than Luke and Han combined. And she pretty much fucked up job his day with nothing, but a bikini and a chain. And then I said, end, all all caps made out with her brother so That's the Johnson Rowan loves yeah, yeah But that's the Johnson that I fell in love with
Starting point is 00:36:40 That's the Johnson I that I want to be around 20 that's America's sweet heart That's the Johnson High that I want to be around 20. That's America's sweet heart rate. It's 20 to 20 and 18. So pretty much. Yeah. I finally qualified. I'm telling you, that's the Johnson everyone wants to hear. This is the second part though.
Starting point is 00:36:57 He really is the same show he got me because this is, no, this is something totally separate. There was a soprano's con in up in Metal Dance. It was like a little thing. He asked me if I wanted to go. Yeah, he asked me to. He texted me and I said, absolutely. Well, actually, he said there's a VIP party. Do you want to go?
Starting point is 00:37:23 And I said, sure. That would be cool. And he said, okay, now this would have been like Monday, I think, and the party was on Friday. So I didn't hear, I said, what's the information? He said, oh, I don't have it, I'll get it. So he then took a couple days, and I think it was Wednesday that I came here, we came to record, and I asked him about it. And it seemed like he did not know who called or get any information from the guy,
Starting point is 00:37:52 but he would take care of it. And then Thursday came, then I didn't hear from him and then Friday came and I didn't hear from him, but like a couple of weeks before that, I had something to do, you and I did something and I had tickets for the queue, you and I did something with a bunch of other people. And I had tickets for a comedy show down here
Starting point is 00:38:15 and at Count Basie, it was the creeps with kids, which I figured was not gonna be your style comedy wall, you and Deb, so I thought who else would like them? Hey, I'll bet you my conjule you would like to go. So I gave him the tickets. It was like a couple weeks before this party thing. So like I said, Thursday came Friday came and I still hadn't heard from Mike. He didn't contact me, but he's my friend. So I have to assume that if anything were wrong or a skew, he would let me know. So I can probably just go to this party, right?
Starting point is 00:38:50 No. I can't just show up to the VIP party. Not at all. How many days since you last spoke to him? It would have been two days. I would have definitely been anxious if I didn't get you didn't get the confirmation. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You texted him. He didn't answer. I didn't text him. I figured he would just let me know eventually because I had asked him twice. I texted him twice and I asked him once. And did you went to the party? I went to the party with with Mary Beth look beautiful dressed up
Starting point is 00:39:26 I'm like hey, I'm gonna get bring it to this fancy party. It's gonna look like the man We're going to a VIP party Prano's con Mike Zapsick has set it up I never would have made that trip without getting confirmation that I was good to get in You would not have. Because I did go. I did go. I'm guessing you didn't get in. Well, you know, we got to the table and I asked if anybody there had spoken to Mike's up sick and turned out they had not.
Starting point is 00:40:00 However, I had met someone. Now, I've known Mike a long time, right? Like over 20 years. Easily. Friend, a large part of that time. And then I met someone new, less than 24 hours. And this is the message that he sent me. Hey, this is Federico. For Brian Johnson and Maribeth, you guys, I believe we're going to be coming tonight. So if you come there, we're not there yet. If you come to the race track for the Pranokon party, just tell them that you're my guest. Federico has to're my guests. I said are eco-casting would chose guests All right
Starting point is 00:40:45 Because I haven't gotten the chance to go there yet to give them this information But in case they they give you any issues Just say you're there for this fronocon kickoff party and your guests of Federico casting the show, okay? Okay All right, so that's my new buddy That's a pal. That's my pal, who I had met. Like I said, 24 hours earlier.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Who is it? Is it somebody we should know? That was Furio. Furio went out of his way to make that call. Now, I also have to add that he was awesome about you. Really good. I was so certain he lives in the area. He said he would come in. He would have the talk done. Yeah. And a really interesting story about something.
Starting point is 00:41:32 I'll tell you later. So I don't spoil it, but you guys like it. So yeah. So he went out of his way to call, leave the message. And when I saw 9-7-3 number come up, I didn't pick it up because I don't pick up numbers, I don't know. So I didn't even know that was on there until I got there when I gave him my name and he had put my name on the list and he was there, like, you know, when we walked in, he was there. So he was able to get us in. But my friend, Mike, I believe it was a Macavelian plan to emasculate me in front of Mary Beth. So I'm like, hey, maybe he's not on TV anymore. You know, he's on Amazon Prime, so he's not like, you know, he's not at the top of his game, but he's still getting into a VIP party. And then Mike's like, no, he's not
Starting point is 00:42:22 Mike set it up, so I can't get in. So I'm embarrassed in front of my new fiance. So how did this guy know that you want to go to the party? I did appreciate it. That was good. What's that? How did this guy know you want to go to the party? I met him 24 hours earlier. We were just talking about... Where did you meet him? Compa Media. he was on Anthony show and because I to promote the con yeah I had I had done my show with Iraq and then they said that he was coming in so
Starting point is 00:42:55 it was all like another two hours so I just sat around and I was like I'll just you know watch watch it maybe say hey but then Anthony asked me to come on. So I was on the panel with them. And then we talked a little bit afterwards and he talked about the party and the scrannies come the next day. So he's a nice guy. And I gave my number, but never expecting. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Never expecting that he would hook it up, let alone call me and leave a message. Very nice guy. How was the party? It was, you know, I'm not really good at stuff like like I I like to sit in the corner. Yeah, I'd watch it. It was interesting though. I saw junior Big pussy like you see all the people but I'm not gonna walk up to them and say hello or anything although Very best got a picture to you'll appreciate this wall. I got a picture to take with the Richie from King of Queens First couple seasons,
Starting point is 00:43:45 he was like the annoying friend and then he sort of disappeared. Yeah, I think he was, he dated his sister. Yes. Yeah, his sister was at Tukshelhoes. But but she was very excited. She's like, I think that's Richie. I don't like who Richie who. And she's like that guy on King of Queens. I was like, oh yeah, you're right. And then yeah, so, saw a bunch of people, and then it was a psycho. And we saw everybody lost 20 bucks on a horse race. I never bet on a horse before dead last, a horse with horses and fucking technology. So then after that was sopranos con the next day. What's that like?
Starting point is 00:44:24 It was right. It was interesting. I'm like, I don't know. It seems very limited in scope for an entire con. It does, but I mean, you have these, like, these cons that are solely dedicated to, sort of like a Harry Potter or something. I mean, there were a lot of people there, not as many as I thought there may be for a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:44:41 And I'm looking at these people, these guests. They had so many. I'm like, how the fuck did they pay these guarantees? Like how did they do it? There was a dealers room for merchandise. There was, there was a dealers room but they're much sopranos merchants. They're less it's licensed. You can't just make that shit. It was a lot of food, that kind of stuff. They had a maze set up that was kind of like the pylons, but I was noticing there were a lot of things that took up floor space but didn't generate income. Today, do any promotion for the movie they're doing right now? Or do I sneak peak?
Starting point is 00:45:21 Not that I saw. It was very difficult to hear. They had like the the power room that like it was in the main room so it was very echoey and shit. Did you ever find out my mic? Never called or never gave you the heads up? No, no. Oh, that's right. So he... So yeah, I've seen him several times. He left you standing. He never brought it up. After telling you it was done deal. He said the guy called. Do you want to go?
Starting point is 00:45:48 I said, yes, absolutely. Now I thought maybe since I don't like going to cons, he was saying it as a joke. And then when I said, yes, he's like, oh, shit. Wow. As opposed to just being like, oh, I was just fucking around because I know you don't like to go to cons. We cosplayed.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Who are you? Me and Mary We cosplayed. Who were you? Me and Mary Beth. Who were you? I was just like a random sort of, because nobody is facial here. So I can't really be anybody. I did want to be the guy from the Vipers, you know, the motorcycle, guys. I remember they were stealing the wine. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And then Christopher shot one. Yeah. I was going to be him. And then Mary Beth was going to be Kelly. You see only a picture of her. It's the Udbushemi's daughter I was going to be him. And then Mary Beth was going to be Kelly. Like, you see only a picture of her. It's Steve Bouchemmy's daughter who was like the runaway. I'm not. That's obscure.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Yeah, it's real obscure. But I never got my Vipers patch. So she was a Adriana. And I was like, I did the Pollywall not streak. I would picture. I'm a self-picture. Nice. So we did that.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And then we went to Carabas for a fine Italian meal afterwards. You and her or you and Mr. Here you go. Yeah, Mary Beth waited in the car. But that was just you and her went through there or some of the castes of Prano's go there too. Yeah, me and Uncle Junior. No, just me and her and they were like, oh, by the way, you can't have any salad because of equalized hair. I was like, all right, just be goody. Did you see, did you see Banshee? Did you watch Banshee, right? I love Banshee. Yeah, there's the first
Starting point is 00:47:16 and only picture I've ever paid. Oh, wow. He's in a lot of stuff that guy. Yeah, he's an autonomous. The guy who played Agent Dwight Harris. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And I did want to talk to him, but I'm like, I don't want to be that annoying dickhead, because I'm like, Agent Dwight Harris on this part of his life sort of went down, down, down as the series went on. And like, he'd never had a real resolution. You know, it's like, he was glad that Philly Leotardo got killed.
Starting point is 00:47:43 And then that was it. So I'm like, what happened after that for Agent White Harris? Because it could be anything. But did you ask him? I wanted to, but Mary Beth, maybe not. Also got her picture with Pyomite. That was the other one. The horse? Because there were people around Pyrami, and I wanted them to see us take a picture of the horse rather than that.
Starting point is 00:48:08 No. Oh, it's so fun. I can't hear. Did you watch the series? Well, did you watch the premise? I watched the whole thing. OK. Are you familiar with it?
Starting point is 00:48:19 I don't remember much of it. Like the way you guys are going, like you guys are going to watch the whole thing. I watched it. I watched it like two years ago. Yeah, three years ago at this point. Yeah, like my memory's hazy. Like I remember Tony.
Starting point is 00:48:30 There you go. All right. This is sharp. Sharpie's ever. These fringe characters that you're bringing up, yeah, I would never remember they were in the show. There was, there were so many guests. I'm talking like fringe, like not quite Kelly
Starting point is 00:48:46 and Vipreguy level, but pretty close. Like some of the guests were like, I don't, I recall you barely, it was one guy. Oh, you, this guy you texted me about? This, do you remember when Melfi was raped in the, the, the doctor, the stairwell? And then everybody wanted Tony to fucking, heard a tell Tony. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Right. Yeah. The Hayesus Rossi. Yeah. That's his name, employee of the month. He was there as a guest. And I know he's not a real rapist, but what an odd care, like what an odd character to represent at the con right? Yeah, I was just like I know he's an actor
Starting point is 00:49:30 I know I everything you're gonna say I've thought and logically I totally agree with you But I'm like you're a rapist like you played a horrific character I mean somehow different than if like you played a murderer. It is. Like I said to you, when we were talking about it, he texted me that the kind of is yeah, and I was like, I don't know, I would want to punch him in the fucking face. Like, is that good of an actor? He is that good of an actor. Yeah. Yeah. To his skills. Yeah. He I saw him because it was like, there were certain sections. It's like, it
Starting point is 00:50:02 had your main section, which was not set up well because they had all the fucking heavy hitters right in a row So you're like whose line is this what like it was Not handled well, and then you had a couple different sections with guys like that like a Georgie the bartender and Jesus the rapist and a couple other guys that was already Buckele that already was not there Charmaine was not there Eadrun I think was supposed to be but she wasn't there Those are the lines like no fucking way like I thought it'd be fun to get a picture with Paulie Walnut But I'm like, yeah, nope like Brock had no line. So Paulie wants to have a long line. He had a long one long line junior had a long line junior
Starting point is 00:50:50 Furious had a long line a couple of those guys Janice and see Janice there Yeah, she was real good the other sister was there oh really? Yeah, the second sister. Yeah, the one that they barely mentioned yeah I see lined someone. It was good, too. It was real good. What'd you do? I'm really tired of people who I don't know and people who I do know don't do it, but people who I don't know feeling compelled to mention ZZ top in my beard. in my beard. So and the only reason it annoys me is because I'm like, if that's immediately what you think, then that's going to be mostly everyone's go to. So probably you're not the first person to say this to. And if you're not the first person to say it, then why the fuck are you bothering to say it? Because it's not funny. And I've heard it a million times. My favorite was in London when that drunk guy called you Santa Claus. So close. Like, yeah, he'd like and follow me down the street.
Starting point is 00:51:49 That was great. Manacing you. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Strange foreign country. Stageless. Hey, Santa Claus. I was so good to come back. So the guy walks up and he's so happy to let me know that my, I have a ZZ top desk beard. And he's, he makes a mistake of being like, oh, you ever hear a ZZ top? And I said, that he fucked up. For the next 60 seconds, I had absolutely no idea who ZZ Top was. What kind of music they played? Zero frame of reference for them. And this guy was like, what the fuck? Like, are you an idiot?
Starting point is 00:52:36 And I'm just like, so what do they play classical music? Like, what do you mean? I don't understand. And she's like, no rock, like the guy's with the beard in the guitar. He's like, go on like this, like playing air guitar guitar. I'm like dude. I'm sorry. I wish it's that they sound great though And he walked away thinking like I'm the biggest fucking moron and it was only afterwards that I was like shit From now on if somebody says that and I'm able to like trick him into that I'm gonna tell my being a coma and that's why my beard grew so long
Starting point is 00:53:09 And I'm gonna go totally rip Van Wink a lot. Like there's so much I don't know. And then like, sorry, I was gonna ask a real basic questions and shit. That's funny. Yeah, I wish I had like, I mean, there's no way I would be just carrying a camera around, but if I had recorded that guy's It was exactly what you want exactly. Yeah So I know this is probably gonna upset the likes of a Ming Chen. Oh, no. Oh, she's not gonna like it That's right. It's a tell-em-steve Dave sell-out moment We got Jay Sarge to do something like that for us. Yes, but look, if you're going to sell out, this is the kind of sponsor you want to sell out for. Now, sure, it's no blue juice or Sasha Marie or any of these types, but still, hey, we like
Starting point is 00:53:56 them. And we're talking about Casper boys. We're talking about heaven. It's been with us longer. Casper, me and these're definitely the two most loyal Sponsors we've ever come across Yeah, no joke like me undies and I think like Ming being like we love our sponsors It's like look I'm wearing me undies right now
Starting point is 00:54:16 This is an untucket shirt that I bought This is not a free shirt. I bought it because I really like how soft they are so We do love Casper. I mean, because I really like how soft they are. So we do love them. I mean, I wish I could just convey how truly I back this company in terms of like quality. We know when you don't back a company. You're pretty vocal about it. you don't pack a company. You're pretty vocal about it. So a point where I'm like, yeah, we are going to lose more sponsors. I get my neck. I am so. But it just means much more when you do then. Yeah, I'm so impressed with this company. I'm so impressed with their products.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I have nothing but accolades and praise for Casper. And if you're on the fence, they got that 100 day guarantee where you can use your it and then return it if you don't like it. What have you got to lose? Nothing. You could sleep on a bed for 99 days and then turn around and be like, it's not for me. And they'll be like, all right. And what do you got to gain? Maybe the most comfortable mattress you've ever slept on.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And that's a, that's a lot to gain. Yeah. Try emptying a bottle of rust brew and then get your money back. After 100 days, that's not lot to gain. Now try emptying a bottle of rust brew and then getting your money back. After 100 days, that's not going to happen. They're designed by humans for humans. They mimic human careers, all of them, providing support for comfort for all kinds of bodies. If I was Casper, I might just think about changing that up though, and say, design by
Starting point is 00:55:41 another species. Oh, you think? Humans just to see people go like, what? It's designed by another species. Oh, you think? It's just to see get people going like, what? It's designed by like... Developing unidentified species. Yeah. Like it was created in the Casper Labs. What's in the exotic species that you could say? You're like, Q, this mattress, that we're pushing, it's been designed by insects. Well, they studied like honey bees and shit and basically honey bees designed
Starting point is 00:56:13 the bed. We're going to give the credit to the honey bees not the engineer because it's like some sort of honeycomb shit. I try it. It'd be so impressed but I guess I don't want to lie either. Okay, Catherine got it off. They I don't want to lie either. our star rating is my tunes now. Have a look in decades. I think it's still five. It's still a five. Still a five. I think everybody stole star.

Starting point is 00:58:56 I mean, we're at an hour and I feel like, I mean, I've been, I've been, I've been hold to my tongue. I wanted to ask you about something. I mean, it may be warrant too much speaking on your end to talk about it, though. Did you check out the Mandalorian? I did. This week's episode?
Starting point is 00:59:13 I haven't seen this week's episode. Oh, that's a good one. Are you, is it you giving it a five-star rating? Like Tom Stevens? The entire show? Yes. It's a five-star, yeah. I don't know how it could be better. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:59:27 It has an amazing ability to strike a tone of serious and legit funnier times, and how he makes that character so likeable without ever taking off that mask. It's something what an actor. I think, and you would say that it's, this is how it's universally been received by fandom, right? I haven't heard a single negative word about it. What do Star Wars fans want? Do you think that based on the response to this and the response of the last two movies though?
Starting point is 01:00:04 They want a badass. Right. They want a badass confident fucking hero in the fucking focal point. But that has a sense of humor. That is, so that has a feelings of decency and they don't want fucking what they've been shoveling down. Everyone's throwing. No, they, because it seems to me like especially and look
Starting point is 01:00:26 We've talked about how much I just like last Jedi. I like green johnson. I saw knives out. She's it. Mm-hmm It's so fucking good. He made looper. He made brick. I I would say I'm a fan of the guy, but last Jedi was so bad and and it it because it's like It seemed like they weren't trying to serve the story. Exactly. And it's just like, what am I watching? You're serving something else. I'm serving at the expense of a story.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Casino scene where they're just giving speeches about fucking how rich people are bad. I'm just like, you're serving a message right now that I don't want to fucking heat. I just paid fucking $10 to watch this. And Mandalorian is just like, here it is. Here's a badass. And that's what people wanted. They want it to come in and save the day so desperately. They want it to look, they want it one more chance to fucking see Luke as the greatest hero
Starting point is 01:01:21 in the galaxy. Who had a meeting and said, let's not immediately in the Force Awakens, the first movie in X amount of years, not galaxy who had a meeting and said let's not immediately in the force of weekends the first movie in the next one years not they had a meeting made the decision not to have looking at it all look with on and lay on the falcon they made that choice they could have made that movie with with them back on the falcon but they chose not to. You're like, whoo, what? And then they're like, why are we getting this backlash? What the hell is wrong with this? This is a toxic fan base. This is a toxic fan base.
Starting point is 01:01:53 This is a toxic fan base. Oh. But look, look at the diversity, guys. Isn't that cool? And everyone was like, I mean, yeah fine, but I mean give us Luke I just have Luke give us on why would you not make Luke and Han in the same room. Why would you make Luke an asshole too? Why would you make Luke an asshole? I don't why would you make Luke an asshole? I mean the whole fucking franchise
Starting point is 01:02:22 Is based on his fucking being like seeing his journey and seeing him become a hero and being likable throughout the whole thing. Yeah. And then you're at that the end you make him would just, uh, he's just making a better old man who like it was, it's last shot. I was a missed man. I'm not, I'm not sure that the one that's coming out in a couple weeks is going to make up for it. I hope I, I, I hope what they do is is like, whoa guys, we got to give them something. I hope that like we got to give them something. I've heard him. Terrible rumors coming down the pike.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Like, what? That Hayden Christopher is back. I heard that same rumor that he might be in it. But you wouldn't like that? I just, I think they're going to throw too much out there. I don't know, man. And that it's going to be like, I've heard the storylines are going with are based on things that have never even happened in the movies. So you're going to be like confused, like it was based on stuff that may have happened in books. Like what?
Starting point is 01:03:18 Like these, these creatures that are endomorphians or something like that. Oh, the metaclorn? Yeah. Yeah, but they were in the prequels. Oh, something like that. Oh, the midi-chlorines? Yeah. Yeah, but they were in the prequels. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, that was... Are they people or are they little cells?
Starting point is 01:03:30 No, they're in... That's how the Jedi's have like an increased amount of midi-chlorines in their blood. Yeah, just much like sopranos, I don't remember much of the prequels. Yeah. Um, Darth Maul. Darth Maul's great. I heard maybe coming back? Well, he already came back in solo.
Starting point is 01:03:47 The solo was set in the past though. But he was still live after. Yeah, oh, that's right. That was oh, shit. You're right. Yeah. So that was still set after he had died. Many years.
Starting point is 01:04:00 After he got a good. Okay. Yeah. So you have, um, you have hope that it's going to redeem itself. I do. I saw from killing Han Solo, which I hated. I didn't not like for so we can. Like I was kind of like, all right.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Just because of when it ended, I had hope that we were see what I wanted. But I like right. I think raised a good character. Like I like her. I like Finn. I don't know. It's weird because you think about these new characters and I'm like, like, do you care about them? It's hard to really care about them, but I don't know if that's because
Starting point is 01:04:35 of our age. Would we care more if we were younger? I find more and more just in general. It is so difficult for someone to get me to care about a character in a movie or a TV show And I don't know if it's because The way things are done today is they don't give you time because they got to get to the shit right away because the audiences today Are not the audiences of the fucking 70s where they'll sit through a three hour towering and for no to learn An hour and a half of everyone's back stories before the shit starts happening. Do you see attack the block? No of everyone's back stories before the shit starts happening. But do you see Attack the Block? No. A fucking great movie.
Starting point is 01:05:07 That's where the guy plays Finn. That was his first movie. You can see a tendency Attack the Block. That's like a video game. That's alien. Oh my god. Oh my god. I didn't see either.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Never heard of a fucking movie up. It's a British movie about these aliens that attack projects. And the kid who becomes Finn and Star Wars John Boyega whatever is he's like a not a likeable character in the beginning he's robbing a woman he's beating the shit out of people for no reason and then the project got taken over by these aliens and he becomes this hero and it's like you care about his scumbag character so much more in that movie. Really?
Starting point is 01:05:47 Like you're like, I can't, you guys got to watch it. The alien design is, you, you would fucking love it. It's really so well done. You might want to put subtitles on just so you can understand what some of those street gangs are saying, but I'll text. Have you Brit accents? Yeah, but, but I, I don't know that anybody's had trouble following it. It's so fucking good.
Starting point is 01:06:06 The monster design is amazing. Yeah, your tickets yet for Star Wars? No. No. You think you're going to be able to mosey on in just on there? I don't mind waiting a few days. Wow. I'm surprised.
Starting point is 01:06:17 I mean, that right there has shown that you've lost a little bit of the lust. I just less shed. I just fucking Ball so much. Yeah, you Nick. Yeah Definitely keep it all right. I know you got no fucking sexual drive. It's ours anymore. It's a star wars I mean, it's a Sunday Jeff Yeah, he needs some sort of fucking star galaxy blue tube He definitely does he has no Blue Choo. He definitely does. He has no he's watching the Lauren. Oh, Jeff. Yeah, he liked it. It's great. Yeah, it wasn't enough. Well, yeah, that is the
Starting point is 01:06:49 Blue Choo. That is the star of Blue Choo at this point. Yep. That's got every old timey Star Wars fans rocking a fucking hard on it. They haven't had since the fucking 90s. You see this this week's episode Oh, man, I could I mean I'm honest. It's not a spoiler because it happens right away back to Tatooine. Oh, yeah. Now, what is your feelings on the baby Yoda? I'm just gonna get a little sick of it though. It's not immediately. I'm not immediately. No, I'm not immediately. I was just like, what is that? Is that Yoda or is that some sort of clone or is that just one of his species? But now every time I fuck it up on my phone, I'm like, baby, yo, I'm just like I'm starting to hate it already because then that's not the
Starting point is 01:07:31 That's not Disney's fault, but that's just the fucking you know people are just It's the island on the bandwagon. I'm the general intellect. I don't go on your science Or just the the intense desire to be a part of something. I think baby Yoda's cute too. No matter what it is. I mean, I want to be a part of it. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of making me go like, man, I really hope baby Yoda turns out to be something that we think it's not going to make. Or is it like devoured by another alien? Something like. Or it's evil or something. Did you hear the rumor I am getting to the end of how much I can talk, but did you hear the rumor about Mandalorian connecting to Riza Skywalker? No.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Because the viewing schedule is an episode a week until the week that Riza of Skywalker comes out. There's no episode of Mandalorian and then it picks up after the movie. So what I'm hearing is that something is going to happen on the show that affects the movie. Is that set in the same? No, it's set five years after Jedi. So it's...
Starting point is 01:08:27 Well, I wonder what that is. I imagine it could be someone doing baby Yoda or how they bring back the Emperor is related to something with the Yoda, the baby Yoda. I can't wait to check it out. Now that all my tech issues are fixed. Oh, yeah, that's right. I'm on Disney Plus.
Starting point is 01:08:44 I'm looking for Mandalorian. I'm like, why the fuck is it not on here? I'm searching Star Wars. I'm searching Mandalorian. I'm like, am I misspelling it? I look it up, no, I'm spelling it correctly. So I talked to my tech team of Victor and Walt. And Victor was like, well, is it on a kids profile?
Starting point is 01:09:00 And then it was. I thought Disney Plus, like there would be no kids profile. Well, I think Disney would be even more Intune with mode of helping parents Make sure that you know that kids are watching what parents want them to watch Yeah, some I mean is there what's on there that's like I know is there's got to be though the Simpsons Yeah, maybe They want their kids seeing an underachiever who's proud of it. Remember people got real upset about that? Do you, uh, where's your feelings on
Starting point is 01:09:28 Disney? Pretty much going to be owning every intellectual property that exists on a planet. Do you feel that's good? Or do you feel that maybe the government that's stepping and be like, this is, you know, this is a constitutes like a monopoly. Yeah, monopoly. You can't buy everything. Antitrust suit. Yeah, I mean, I would hate for them to buy, um, like the next Deadpool movie, I would hate for that. I think they already own it. No, I would hate that for that to be PG 13 instead of rated R. So okay, but let's say they make a great movie then, then your fears are, you don't care how much they own of every single thing that
Starting point is 01:10:05 That we consume. What if they bought true TV and like you had to start incorporating like baby you to the center Practical jokes and stuff. They were a big bump to do. Yeah big bump. Yeah What I say about so Small bump Just give me a bump of coke so I can keep going. I can keep this maybe out of it. Yeah, but I know I don't think I've ever made a secret about selling out.
Starting point is 01:10:36 I don't know if I want Disney owning everything, though. I think that's a slippery, slippery slope, though. Well, I think it's ideal, but if they're making good stuff. Have they done anything so far that makes you feel like this is Disney's influence and I don't like it. Yeah, Star Wars. Star Wars in general. And it was Disney's influence, not just. I think it was definitely had I mean if somebody's influenced that fucking almost killed it if not for a job in Favreau. I mean if not not, I mean, they should be back in the
Starting point is 01:11:06 fucking Brink's truck to that dude's house. And that's the guy who basically created the Marvel the MCU, yeah. He was Iron Man, right? He wrote and directed Iron Man, right? One into. Yeah. Did you hear that they want to make a man to want man to a woman, man, you know, it's Mandalorian. No, man to a woman, the Mike's App 6 story. Tell him. Steve, I'm only saying tell him Steve Dave, because I'm fucking disgusted. Yeah. Mike, I got your back.
Starting point is 01:11:36 I had your back this whole up.
