Episode Date: March 4, 2024

Q has a moral quandary, post apocalyptic TESD, Shane Gillis, Paul Stanley vs Dan Ackroyd, Frank5 recommends crummy TV

A fence costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like there's a reason I'm watching it. It's because I'm dumb. Well, you know, if you're going to present it, you don't want to present it for the first time with like an unsightly scab. Tell him Steve Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell Him Steve Dave. Hey Walt. Hello. And BQ.

Hello. By the magic of electronics coming in from his home. I had to zoom in today. Yeah. Nice day to zoom in though because it's fucking shitty as hell. I'm going rain out there. It's cold. It's wet. I Don't want to go into the the weather right away, but I will go into I will go into like Not being crazy about being a homeowner. I gotta tell you Every time I did the fucking wind we had this strong wind the other day. Yeah, I remember it blew my fucking fence right over

cracked it broke broke it, and that shit's expensive. Oh yeah. If you weren't already, you know, having a problem with too heavy of a pocket with cash, I would say get out of the TV game and get into the fencing game because that's where the money is. A fence costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. No, I know I put a fence around my whole, you know, property and that, and like some brick and stuff. And it was like more expensive than it's landscaping will get you every time. Man, I couldn't up like a vinyl fence stockade fence is, is like half the house.

It felt like it's's crazy, right? I'm just like, what are you doing? You're not building a boat and filling it with alligators and building a drawbridge that's gonna keep out Kong. And what are you making? And the worst part is it's like, it's not even that hard to do. Like you could probably learn to do it

and save yourself a ton of money. Oh, it's hard. It's hard back, back, break and work there. You gotta fucking pour some in. Oh, I don't mean, I don't, no, I don't mean like that. I mean like you could do it. Like you could, I think you could learn how to do it. You could watch a YouTube thing and throw up a fence.

You know that fence would not last a day. It's the fence that I put up. Fuck the post and you screw the plastic pots together and it's all set. Save yourself $100,000. The only way I'm attempting to put up a fence myself is if there's an expert fence guy right next to me or like Edgar or somebody who fucking knows what they're doing.

Yeah, like I watched, I went to get my oil change yesterday and there's a, it was like a YouTube video that was up there about how to like put putty on the side of a car and do this and that. And they're like, and then just do this and then just do that. And I'm like, are you fucking do this. And then just do that. And I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Like it looks impossible. I can't do any of this.

Yeah, I can't do any of it. I couldn't smooth the putty to how they had it. I couldn't put the fucking fender on how they had it. It's just like, why does everyone in these YouTube videos act like, like there's a reason I'm watching it is because I'm dumb. And I don't know how to do any of this shit. No, you're not dumb. So like I need a step by step, like there's a reason I'm watching it, because I'm dumb and I don't know how to do any of this shit. You're not dumb.

So like I need a step by step, like little half steps. You're not handy, I'm not handy. And you gotta like remember that and not be so hard on yourself. Have you guys ever called in somebody, a repairman or some sort of serviceman and a guy has shown up and it's somebody you knew from high school.

Almost every time. That's all I do is hire people I know. Oh, I didn't do it on purpose though. Oh, yeah. Okay, I didn't do it on purpose. So when the guy came out to put my fence up, he was a guy I knew from high school and I was like, He's gonna fucking hook me up. I kind of knew you. We talked, I think, in 1985 for during, in between class because you needed homework or something. Or I needed homework.

You were telling me your dream to become a fencer and help friends. And it did not work out. I thought it was gonna work out. It did not parlay into a nice, sweet discount. That sucks. I have had firehouse guys work on my house, cause you know, they all have side business and stuff.

And like, they try, you know, they'll try to, they'll be like, ah, you know, dude, you know, cause we're all friends. I've gone and helped them on shit. But then that's like, I feel guilty. So I just like, I just pay them what I think they should get anyway. I think it's harder for you because you know, you're on TV, it's like, how on earth do you just like, how do you not feel a little guilty about trying to get

like cut corners here and there? But I, when this guy came over, this was pretty complicated. This is like, like early 2001 or something. So I thought like, I would that Henry Hudson brotherhood was going to, uh, you know, help me get a sweet deal. None of Q's friends can walk into his house and take seriously Q's like, yeah, I'm a little short this week. Any chance you'll help me? Yeah, but it's fucking bullshit because it goes the other way too. Cause like, they'll do work and like, know sometimes you high fireman you get fireman work Drinking beers have a pizza you're talking gospel fucking day I'm doing I'm like out there mixing cement with them and shit like that and then like a year later

Like it's fucking chipping and then I and then like I'm like buddy like you know Then you got to do things like, oh man, should this be happening to the cement? You know what I mean? That thing of like where it's like, it wasn't my buddy, I'd be like, dude, what's going on? Like what the fuck can work? So I've actually had to hire a separate company

to come in and fix the work that my friends did because I was too embarrassed to call my friends. And I'm like, there you go. That's what I'm talking about. It's like you're in a difficult precarious situation did because I was too embarrassed to call my friends and like, there you go. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. It's like you're you're in a difficult precarious situation with your with how you know your career and everything. You can't. I know. It's so difficult being BQ. It's hard, man.

It's fucking hard. My cement's chippin over here It's sloffin My cement chip and why don't you make a fucking TV show about it? Yeah, like it's No, go ahead. No, I was gonna say it's it's it's just like like not being a homeowner is like that I wake up and the fence is destroyed. It's somebody else's problem and that's what I love But like around the house every fucking time I turn around there's somebody else's problem. And that's what I love. But like around the house, every fucking time I turn around, there's something that's my problem. I'm shocked that your fence would, because you have a lot of other houses, trees to block

that wind over where I'm at, though. I mean, it's, there's nothing. It comes like right off that water. It comes right off. So yeah. So my, my fence also broke, not my fence broke a while ago from the, from the winds, but that fence stood there since 2001. Wow. And it finally had cracked and we still haven't gotten a fix yet. We just put a, I, I got some cinder blocks and I put it up against against the I wedged it up against the part that's kind of opening. And we just want to keep make sure sock stays in that's all right.

So we don't really don't care. That that's my level of fixing shit. It's like if I pile up enough stuff next to it, maybe it won't fall. That's why you got to get the the fence with the like the chain link fence because the wind goes right through it. You'll never have to worry about the wind taking a battering on your fence then. Yeah, it's not a bad idea.

It doesn't look as nice. I was gonna say, it doesn't look as nice as the white vinyl around the pool, like a chain link fence. Yeah. But I don't know. It was disappointing. Mary Beth's like, did you look outside?

Like, no, what? Like, as if it's supposed to be something good. Or something I'll be excited by not like, what the fuck? Cause at first I thought, dude, I'm gonna get killed, I think, because like, all my trees have like this green stuff on the bark and branches just fall. Oh yeah, that's not good. Yeah, it's insane.

Yeah, I mean, forget the house. I'm like, the dog's gonna get squashed or Mary Beth or worse me. You gotta get a tree guy expert out or worse. You gotta get a tree expert out there. Now I gotta get a tree guy. The trees ain't cheap either. They might recommend, you know, cutting some of them down and then you got to, you need permission from the town to cut them down to right because they're too old and big. Yeah. Yeah, I took some trees down. I had to get death certificate for trees to show the city that I could take them down.

You know, oh that they were dead. Yeah, I think those are cheap. And by the way, those trees were fucking healthy. All you're doing is a paid a guy to come down and be like, Well, you know, I can give you a debt certificate for this. You know what I mean? It's fucking all scam. It's all bullshit. Follow the money. Fucking money. See where it all flows. I like the idea of Q sitting alone in his basement yelling this shit. Nobody hearing him. Just the cats are scared.

This cat upstairs, I kind of hear something like, what's that? Just scurries under the couch. Fuck it. I think the headline after this episode drops is Q condemns tree industry. Yeah. Q anti-arborist. They're all crooked. I think the headline after this episode drops is Q condemns tree industry. Yeah. Anti arborist.

They're all crooked. You used to make a public apology. I never met a tree man who didn't try and fuck me. What do you think of that tree industry? There is a guy who, again, a person we knew from school who has a thriving tree business. You always see his trucks around our place. Oh yeah. Boylan, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Boylan, he's got several trucks. So there must be some money in it, man. Oh hell yeah. Oh yeah.

It's dangerous work too. I've watched videos. Oh, it's like they cut his and then the tree swings down and knocks him out of the fucking sky. Oh, yeah, it's dangerous work to I've watched videos. Oh, it's like they cut It's dangerous work cut down trees. So Q may have ABO the next time you call it a tree guy take a consideration I've a little bit of life on the line for you They all run that scam where it's like well, this is the amount it is if you pay on card But if you pay cash, this is the amount of money it is It's like motherfuckers. Everybody's getting away with it. Yeah, I've gotten out a couple times myself like if you pay cash, this is the amount of money it is. It's like, motherfuckers, everybody's getting away with it. Everybody. I've gotten that a couple of times myself, like, if you pay cash.

Now why is that? Is that because Uncle Sam may not hear about it? I mean, not to- They may not? Yeah, or is that just a myth that they definitely report all the cash transactions they take in? I would argue that they do not. They do not.

Tell the cash transaction. They pay their guys in cash at the end of the day. I see it. I watch it. I, by the way, I'm, I'm joking. I'm not really hating it. Like if I can get away with it, I would. I just can't.

Yeah. I got my, uh, my chimney cleaned last year. That's just supposed to be X amount of dollars and he goes up there and he's like, yeah, well, the flashing's coming off so it's gonna cost a little bit extra to nail that back up. And I'm just like, well, I'm at everybody's fucking mercy.

We're all at everybody's mercy. Do you just have to like, whether it's a fucking car or your fence or your chimney or whatever the fuck, you're at somebody else's mercy. Well, not if you were handy though. Yeah, you can go up, I could climb up on the roof and be like, ah. Exactly.

Yeah. So you're at their mercy because you and I, I should say, are at their mercy because we've spent a lifetime me reading comics and fucking off and not paying attention or trying to learn tasks and I don't know what you were doing. I was probably taking drugs, I was wasting time. Whatever it was, I'm not handy. But you're like, I had a handy father though, I should have grown up like Darren is like Darren's now he's down in Georgia running jobs and stuff like he's real handy and good at that kind of stuff.

But you were the rebel you always were. You were never going to, you were always going to rebel against your dad though. You were never going to be able to be that cat who was going to soak up his daddy's knowledge. You were always going to buck him and always like be like, you know, like at every turn no matter what it was. That's just your nature though. That's the It isn't my nature. That's that fucking rebel nature that everybody loves. They got me fucking destroyed fences, suspect chimneys.

Well, I mean at the end of the day, that's where every rebel go, you know, but actually they get broken and they realize that they were wrong and that it was their stubborn and hard headed. I've made a huge mistake. Was for naught. Yeah, all that fighting. It's just like, over what? Who was I rebelling against? Fuck it.

Authority, right. Authority. Authority in general, yeah. But see, that's Edgar's fault because my parents came down on me so hard when I was like much younger that like you have no, you have no, you have no other alternative but to Buck Authority and be like, fuck this man. Okay. Or you could be a good boy.

Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say there are other, there are other aviaries, not just fuck this. I remember when I was in the firehouse, I was reading the stand, the Stephen King book, and I had a moment of like, oh, this is cool because like if the world ended, like, and I survived, I was one of the ones that didn't die of Captain Trips, I was like, oh, I could be useful to society.

I can go to a firehouse and get the rigs going and like, you know what I mean? And like help out and be like, this is it. And like, now I'm just like, what the fuck am I gonna do if I live in the stand? I'm gonna be like, who wants to laugh? Anybody wanna jokele? Anybody wanna be a practically joke for some corn?

Like I'm like fucking useless. Toilet paper. Yeah, I'm like nothing now. But you still haven't, you haven't forgotten all your fireman knowledge, right? No, I haven't. Or has it advanced or have things advanced and now you don't know the ways, the new fireman knowledge, right? No, I haven't. Or has it advanced or have things advanced and now you don't know the ways the new.

Now the technology hasn't really advanced. The rules have advanced, but you know, that shit's bullshit. Like, like the technology. You can't bang chicks on the back of the fire truck anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. post apocalyptic queue. I just pull out the hose bed on the back and I put a mattress on it. I don't know how to put out fires anymore, but I know how to

start them, honey. You're 50. Yeah. High-pressured hose. I'm 17. It's the post apocalyptic. Oh, you are? Oh, shit. It's an apocalyptic wasteland.

Anything goes. Apocalyptic. Apocalyptic. Get away. I just go in the firehouse. I'm like, I got this. I started fire truck and I actually put a reverse and just slam it into the back of the building.

The sirens go off. Water just starts pouring out. I got this. I got this. That's a pretty good point. Post-apocalyptic. We look over, a bomb goes off into York and suddenly it's like, all point, like post-apocalyptic. Like, you know, we look over, a bomb goes off in New York and suddenly it's like, all right,

now you gotta fend for yourself. Like without Instacart. What's that? That's like a food shopping service. Like, doordash, but for groceries. It's doordash except for groceries, yeah, exactly. So without Instacart, my wife is not, I mean, all the stores are gonna be cleared out anyway. now I got to hunt for food, although I do have deer

coming in my backyard every once in a while. So you would. I probably would have to hunt one of them. What are your, what are your odds I think that you could bag a deer? Uh, I got you got guns. So that helps out a little bit. But then how are you going to cook it and everything? everything can even start a fire I can start a fire. Yeah, if I have some gas Well again, I mean mad Max shows us that gas is gonna be

I go out to the start of my car, I'm like, fuck my gas. They took my gas already. Well, you guys are assuming that in the Mad Max future, like, people aren't going to need podcasts. True. They might. We might be the last bastion of human communications is podcasters. But there's so many podcasters now you could spit and hit a podcaster nowadays though. This is true, but I'm figured sometimes you want to if it's the Mike and Ming

show. Found it. You found the way to get it in. Yeah, but you got to figure Captain Trips has killed most podcasters. Right. Joe Rogan's gone. Joe Rogan's gone. Shane Gillis.

So all the big wigs are gone. Yeah, we're the only ones standing. Taste buds is gone. Taste buds is over. Memorial episode. DeRosa died and we ate sal. That would be something though. If Captain Tripp swept through and somehow all three of us contacted each other, we're like,

we all survived. It has a 99.9% death rate. Yeah. That'd be cool. But that's the way you, like when you picture it though, that's the way you picture it is like the people around you that you care about still being there. Right. And you're going through it together, but chances are that's the way you picture it is like the people around you that you care about still being there. Right. And you're going through it together, but chances are that's not going to happen. 99% of the people you know are dead, right?

But I have a serious question though. Do you think the internet will still be up and running if Mad Max becomes, I was going to say, wouldn't the internet just fall? Don't there have to be people who keep the internet up? Yeah. I don't think that'll happen. Yeah. We'd have to do live shows. Walt, you'd have to break your rule.

Or were the people like the big wigs and the government and everything, they go into their bunkers. Wouldn't they keep the internet up or is it just they keep the internet up just for them? I think the infrastructure would not last. I wish we had somebody at the table who could fill us in on these questions like this. Yeah, somebody would have no. I know there's people who have the keys to the internet though. And in Doomsday scenario, there's like five people who have the keys to the internet though. And they would have to all come together and put their keys into the internet ignition would have to all come together and put their keys into the internet ignition.

And turn it so that the internet could turns back on but damn it, I just wish we had somebody that could fill us in on that but oh well. I hear his keys clicking and clacking over there. Google it later, I guess. I watched JFK last night for the first time in years. Do you want Oliver Stone one? Yeah. Oh, wise bunch of birds. I'm back in it, man. I'm back in the conspiracy. I'm wondering who killed him.

Get him any thoughts. He has, he basically knows who did it, but he's unable to talk and fill us in, unfortunately. People are upset, yeah. This could be put to rest if Githam were allowed back on mic. The Warren Commission actually cited Githam's theory as one of the most possible outcomes, but unfortunately, due to listener feedback, he's not able to weigh in and tell us why or how JFK was murdered.

Due to listener feedback. So after watching, do you think government or mob? Who do you, uh, or lone gunman theory? I mean I Always like to believe the easiest answer because it just makes my life easier But it sure did seem like I mean look I also know that movies not really factually correct Right like he made shit up for the movie stuff So, you know, but I like to think that I mean it's crazy. can't kill the president like that right like it had to be. You would think not but.

The more you find out about the government the more you like that's entirely possible like they said like oh yeah check it out we never went to the moon I would not be I wouldn't I wouldn't even feel like. Like a lot of people would feel maybe embarrassed or let down or whatever. I just, I wouldn't even be shocked. Like I wouldn't even be surprised if they're like, guess what guys, we were, we were, look, we were neck and neck. They, they explained it like, look, we're a neck and neck with the Ruskies. We really wanted to be, you know, in the space race. But then it's really embarrassing if you're an American because other countries have gone to the moon very recently.

And we still haven't gotten there then, that means. Well, we've landed, we've put landers on the moon, but people, humans on the moon. Have these other, like, didn't India send up a rocket? Or was that man? Did they get out and walk around? Or was that just a, get them saying, get them shaking his head. No, they did not have a man's. Get him saying they set up a convenience store on the moon yeah I think there's only been Americans on the moon on the actual human on the moon

but we've send landers up there we've got we've got other other things up there so yeah but if it came out yeah you're right it wouldn't be because I remember early in telling Steve Dave Walt you felt that if it ever came out that the moon landing was fake that society would unravel Do you remember saying that? It's I think it would be I kind of walked that back a little now. I think we've seen so many different things come to light that you never would have thought could happen and

I think society would not unravel, but I think there'd be a sorrow and a shame. Like a demoralizing country. Yeah, it would demoralize. A large segment would not give a fuck. They're like, it doesn't affect me. I don't care. You know, business as usual.

I think that so many people, I mean, doesn't it seem that a lot of people that live in the country fucking hate the country or don't see America for what it is, which is the best country in the history of the human race. It doesn't feel like people, it feels like most people are just tearing down the United States these days and like criticizing it with snark and bullshit. So it's like, I don't even know that people would, would even feel embarrassed because they are already embarrassed. Some patriots would. I think older people would. Yeah, I think some patriotic people would definitely. I think you're right. Some people wouldn't and you're right about people. I think it's the, it's the internet vibe. You know, it's made people just dislike everything.

Like nothing's good. Everything sucks. Everything is, is deserving of like, I mean, of course, everything is, is can be criticized, but there does seem to be an aura of like just not pleased with anything, especially the country that brought Kevin Q. Oh, did we lose Q? Yeah. Oh, shit.

I just think that there's, I wonder if it's like that in every country though. Does every country have a segment of the population that just doesn't love their own country? That, you know what I mean? Like this Canadians, are they that vocal about, you know, how much they don't like America and Switzerland and England or Europe, England and Europe and all the countries in Europe. I well, France, don't they fucking riot every hundred years? They just they'd start badding people. So I would say they probably France. France.

I mean, there's their whole history based on people rising up and and like attacking their government. Isn't that like? Are they dealing with riots? France right now, I don't think so, not in the moment. Well, if not at the moment, it's been the last few years. Yeah, oh yeah, they were big, especially during the pandemic. Yeah, but I mean, their whole history is they used to chop

heads off and fucking take out governments and kill kings and queens. So yeah, so maybe it is, you know, maybe it is a worldwide thing, but I'm just like, I don't know. Yeah, there is one. There's a 2024 French farmers protest going on right now. Well, protest is different, right?

Protest is more of an issue-based thing, wouldn't you say? As opposed to like a total trashing of a country and being like, because if the farmers are protesting, they're protesting whatever corn prices is some bullshit. But like people who are like, what the hell is that? It's rain. From where? From heaven.

What happened? Alright, we had a little tech issue right there. So I'm gonna jump into a spot here. We'll get these out of the way. Bluetooth this episode is sponsored by Bluetooth.

Indeed. All right. So we got those out of the way. All right, I had a moral, I advised my friend on a moral, well I tried to advise him, he didn't fucking listen to me at all. The horse had already left the barn,

but I went out with a bunch of high school buddies the other night, right? Had a couple of them. I just imagine you hanging out with a bunch of 10th graders right now. No, no, no, I knew them when with a bunch of 10th graders right now. I knew them when they were 10th graders, but not now. So we went out and it was like six of us out and I don't want to name names at all because this is like, you know,

but my buddy's wife's sister has moved into the house with him. Has for about a year now. I live on Staten Island and the sister moved in the house. I didn't see the sister, but I haven't seen the sister, but he shows me, she's good looking. And he said that, he made a comment to his wife that is it cheating if me and your sister sit on opposite ends of the couch and masturbate? And I started laughing and I go, and as a joke, I went, well, what did our sister say?

Being like, there's no fucking way that he would have told the sister. He goes, no, I told her. He goes, I asked her. He goes, and she was like, I don't know. And I was just like, this is fucking crazy. I'm like, dude, you gotta stop saying this shit to your wife. I was like, that is fucking insane. Like, am I am I prudish? Am I am I off

the marker? Is that not a good idea? I don't think you're prudish, but it is not a good idea because then it's so seeds. So seeds of doubt in that wife's mind like why is he even asking that? Why is he even thinking about it? It's not just a crazy scenario It doesn't it's to honestly the more I dug the more it sounded like he was trying to make it happen I was like, dude, I don't think you should be doing this man. Like Like, I don't know, man. It's his sister and all that stuff. That does sound like dangerous territory. It does, but he was like, yeah, then he's like,

he's like, sometimes I go in the gym and they're working out together and I just look at them both working out. And I'm like, dude, you gotta fucking stop whatever you're doing right now. You gotta get that sister out of the fucking house. But then I thought about it and I was like, am I just, am I getting old?

Am I, would a younger me have embraced this scenario? Well, what's tough is you're like, they're married, right? It's not even like it's just a girlfriend. It says if Marybeth came to you and was like, is it cheating if me and Darren got off on the couch together? Like, what's your response to that. It's the craziest fucking thing. It's too much, I would be like, how much have you had to drink?

Like, what are you talking about? But yeah, I would say, yeah, yeah, it's cheating. I don't know, it's not even really a question. Well, I don't know, is the wife in on it? If the wife is okay with it, then it's not. It sounded like she laughed it off, but I don't know laughing it off is giving approval.

It's the same as like if she walks in and sees it after that and is like, whoo! Yeah, I don't think she giggles. I don't know. I don't know. I was so curious to hear what you guys, well I guess I kind of knew what you guys were going to think about it, but I was blown away. I was just blown away that this is going on in the world. On Staten Island of all places. On Staten Island. Just a hop skip and a jump away from our backyard's wall. Just got the sexual deviancy going on. That bastion of it, of purity Staten Island. Is there a world where it's not cheating? A world in which the wife is like, sure, go ahead.

A world in which the wife is like, sure, go ahead. That's crazy. Or is it? It's crazy. Is it still cheating but authorized? I don't know. Let's do another poll and find out. I don't know. It just seemed like such a crazy thing.

And I spent like an hour trying to tell him, like, I don't think you should be saying things like that to your counseling him. I was trying because like, I just doesn't seem like he could end anywhere good. I mean, sure, it can end up with him and the sister jerking off on a couch, but like, it just seems like a bad idea. It seems such a short-sighted idea.

Because then what's next after that? Okay, we masturbated on opposite ends of the couch. We checked each other out. We did that. Now- Yeah, I told them I don't- Now what comes next? It's always a drip. I was like, I don't even think you should be flirting with your sister in the law, we checked each other out, we did that. Now what comes next? It's always a drip. I was like, I don't even think you should be flirting

with your sister in the lot, dude. Like, I think like it's a bad start, but I was told that I was wrong. How old are they? Really? Well, I went to high school with them. Okay, how long have they been married? Maybe 15 years, I guess.

What is that about the time? Maybe he has the itch. Yeah. I feel like Walt Flanagan never got the itch. No, no itches. No, scratch free. This Walt Flanagan. Yeah, that's nice.

That's nice to be scratch free. Yeah. To be completely happy in your relationship is so rare All right, I'm just I can't get it out of my mind cuz I'm just like I can't imagine saying that out loud did it seem like it was gonna happen like even after your Well, his I don't know because he has to be into it as well, his, I don't know because he kept going back to him. Because the sister-in-law has to be into it as well, right? Well, that's what I'm saying. He kept going back to her responsive like,

ah, I don't know, maybe it's cheating. Or it's just like, I don't know, like wouldn't you want your brother to be like, no, that's cheating, we probably shouldn't do that. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want anything leading to like possibly the next step, like even them just sitting on the same couch together, I would forbid it.

Yeah, suddenly their feet are touching while they do it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's how it starts. Playing footsie and shit, yeah. That seems like bad news, eh, Walt? Oh, yeah. The worst kind of news.

Yeah. That was a weird conversation. Q's out there, man. I saw Q getting drunk with Steve Bern. Steve Bern. I haven't seen Steve Bern in a while. Really? I just saw something on Instagram where you guys were doing some drinking and presenting a, so something for

IJ it looked like you were presenting a speech to people. That was last season. That was a bit like a year and a half ago. Oh, that was last season. That was a bit. Oh, was it? Like, oh, yeah, like a year and a half ago. Oh, okay. No, I saw Keoh like, damn, he's out and about. He's getting drunk with it. Steve Byrne was on the, uh, was on our pod once. He was into Pittsburgh hockey and stuff. Okay. He was a comedian that, uh, he had a special. So he came on and we talked him for a little bit. Gotcha. Yeah. Great guy. Opened for us for no memory.

Right. No memory of it. You know any pods we've done? You know any pods that I have done? It's like, they seem countless. Like you couldn't even begin to imagine how many pods I've been on. And I don't, unless Steve Byrne said something like that, super memorable, other than the Pittsburgh Penguin Hockey. That's the only thing that I remember it. Oh, speaking of comedians, and this is something that Troy hit me too. And he was like, you got to watch it. You got to watch it. The more somebody tells me I got to watch something, the more afraid I am, I'm not going to like it. And then I have to go back to the person and be like, you know, whatever. But he recommended the new Shane Gillis stand up on Netflix. Oh, yeah. Dude, it stand up on Netflix. Oh, yeah

Fucking good Troy Troy recommended it Troy. Yeah And Shane Shane Gillis is Shane Gillis who was like a country singer Yeah, it does right. Yeah, he was he's a comedian and he was supposed to be on SNL and some Audio came out of him on a podcast doing like an Asian voice or something like that, you know, it was at the prime cancellation time. This is a couple of years back, I guess, a year and a half back. And suddenly he's off as an Asian voice to try to get laughs. I know it's crazy, right? No, it's common denominator type shit.

My apology for the Qingchang song is on record. No, no, I was thinking of the Ming voice. I probably will never get on SNL now. Uh, yeah, yeah. You've probably burned that wish. Because I knew about it and still did it anyway. That's the rebel in me. Fuck you, Lorne Michaels.

You ain't gonna stop me. Well, I mean, but he brought him on. He brought Shane on. He actually did bring him on, which I wish Shane Gillis had been like, I'm good. Because they fired. I mean, he never got to be on SNL. And then years later, you know, he's popular enough to, I think he has the number one Patreon. I think he's got like, yeah, he's got something nuts, like 80,000 followers or something like that. Does he do fucking GIFs like a clock with Frank Five's face on it? I don't think so.

I think he just said it in talks. Speaking of recommendations, I got some recommendations too to watch shit. Something that's very popular and very... Everybody's seen at least one episode, but I hadn't up until getting the recommendation. Frank Fives, speaking of Frank, he was like him and his wife are like, if you're looking for a TV show to binge, you know, night, like you guys got to watch Frasier. And my mom was like, she echoed that. Oh my God, it's so good. You'll love Frasier.'m four seasons in, seasons in.

I'm like, You don't like it? I'm like, what the fuck? I don't get Frazier. I don't get the appeal. There's nothing that happens. It's the same jokes over and over again. I mean, I'm gonna get through it.

I'm gonna power through it, but I'm like, How many seasons? Like nine or something? It's like nine seasons. I'm in like season four. 11? I think it's like 11 seasons. Yeah, it's long and it's harmless and it's fine, but it doesn't rise to the level of

like, you know, to the stature that people place it in like with the office and some other great comedies, television comedies. See, I enjoy it more than the office. Frazier? The American office, yeah. I'm not a big fan of the American office. You like Frazier. I'm surprised you like Frazier. Yeah, I do it more than the office. Frazier? The American office, yeah. I'm not a big fan of the American office. You like Frazier. I'm surprised you like Frazier.

Yeah, I do like Frazier. I liked it more than Cheers. That's insane. Whoa. Yeah, I did like it more than Cheers. Wow, all right. I don't know, there's just like, there's such a humor.

I like the old dad. Right. I like the back and forth with Niles. Yeah, I like the back and forth with Niles and Fra, I like the back and forth with Niles and Daphne too. Again, it's harmless, it's fluff, but like I can. You're right, it's the same show. I could find a million shows that are better this from the way, and I don't mean to bash

Frasier, I'm really more bashing Frank and my mom's recommendations for like how strong they were, like you are going to love it. How could you have never seen an episode of Frasier? And I was like, just never happened. And so I've been watching it nightly. And I'm just waiting for that one episode to like finally click. Click, yeah. Yeah. Well, Frank five has a history of recommending not great shows. He recommended the Waltons to me, you know, off of my little house on the prairie affinity. And I watched it, I watched a bunch of episodes, and I'm like, there's a fucking 11 people I don't know anybody's name. None of them have shoes, they're dirt poor, nothing good ever

happens to them. They're constantly getting like robbed, or like, like, like, like with little house on the prairie, something bad would happen, but then something good would happen. Waltons, it's like something bad just happens. He, he does have a good track record though before this. He recommended The Middle and I really love that show. So I was all in on Frank Fives, you know, recommendations. But now I have to... Now you got a question. Now I got a yeah. Now all of a sudden my world's topsy-turvy when,

and I don't know if I could trust Frank's opinion on television any longer. I started watching Sh's opinion on television any longer. I started watching show gun on FX. The new one. Holy shit. It's so fucking good. Well, it's awesome. Yeah. Is it all subtitled?

Cause I almost watched it the other day on your recommendation and then I was not in the mood to read. It is a lot. All the Japanese language is subtitled. Yeah. Um, but you don't care. I mean, it's just like, it's soled, yeah. But you don't care. I mean, it's just like, it's so good, dude. Did you remember the original?

Were you too young? I only think I remember in a little one is that scene where Chamberlain got pissed on by the guy. Because I remember being a kid, right? You can barely see that on TV. The fuck is going on? I'm like, I remember as a kid being like kind of upset and disturbed by it.

Yeah, oh yeah. And it was like me with the monkeys when one of the monkeys was in the bathtub being paraded down Broadway. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and they recreate that scene in this one. And I guess I'm just jaded now because I wasn't at all. I wasn't at all upset.

Well, what happened? I didn't watch the original show going. Somebody got pissed on. Yeah. It's, what was the scenario on that again? So Richard Chamberlain, his, his ship, uh, washers up in Japan is like a shipwreck thing, you know, and he's an Englishman and he comes on and he's like trying to fuck it, 1600 Japan and he's trying to like, you know, be like, what the fuck's

the matter with you people? You know, he's, he's going after the Japanese, telling them they're bad hosts. They don't understand him, but he's being very aggressive. And he starts grabbing his cock in their direction, like that old Braveheart style thing. So the samurai lord of the village or whatever has his men hold him down. He just pisses on his back and on his head, and then throws him in jail. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, I didn't know as a kid such a thing could happen. back and on his head and that throws him in jail. That sucks.

Yeah, I didn't know as a kid such a thing could happen. Yeah, I agree with you because it's like what 1984? And you just don't expect that. You're like, you're watching a Fonzie jump, you know, 15 garbage cans about an hour earlier and all of a sudden now someone's getting urinated on. Yeah. You flipped a dial and you did not expect that to see that in the same evening. No, no.

I mean, you know, so that, but now, now it's, but it is great. It is fucking great. And there's only two episodes so far. So jump on. Do you think it's if, if, if he had said, my brother lives with us and we're gonna jerk off on the couch together, is it gay? Is it gay?

Is it get, incessantly gay, if you jerk off on the same couch as your brother? Brother in law. Oh, brother in law, I thought you said brother. Yeah. Oh yeah. It doesn't get gayer than that. No, even if there's like a- Unless, yeah, you crawl across the couch to each other, yeah. It doesn't get gayer than that. No, you can just like...

Unless you crawl across the crowd and couch to each other. Yeah. Unless your foot starts touching. Little footsie action. I can't get over the rules of this one. But yeah, show gun is so fucking good, man. It's dope. You'll love it. You'll love it. Did you see a dune?

You know, I did not like the first dune. Oh, I saw the second one. Is it good? I liked it. I thought it was like, cinematography is breathtaking, you know, it's like, you can't get a better shot film and I don't mind the storyline, but I went with get him because he loves Dune and the whole time that he's watching I just keep looking over him because he's making it verbally known without saying anything that he's not happy The same ship people complain about here

And he like he's like making it known that he's not pleased with some of the things. Whatever direction it's going. Yeah, because he's a book junkie for it. And yeah, he was not happy with it. I saw the first one, like the one back in like 80 or something. Is that the one you're talking about? No, no, no. Now there's a new series of.

Yeah, there was. I don't know. It feels like it came out like five years ago, the new dune. And it was a long time. I thought between part one and part two, but the one you're thinking of with Sting. Was that David Lynch? Yeah.

I thought so. I remember not liking it at all. It's very forgettable. Very boring. But then again, I was like in sixth grade or something when it came out, seventh grade, so I don't know. Yeah, this one's got wild ass costumes. And did you feel like there was something weird going on between the mother and the son? Uh, I feel very incestuous, didn't it?

I barely remember. I just remember the first one. I just felt like, is anything gonna happen? And then when something finally happened, the movie ended. Like, that's my impression of the first Dune movie. Is anything gonna happen? And then when something finally happened, the movie ended. Like that's my impression of the first Dune movie. So, but is the second one so good that I should go back and read? Cause I tried to reevaluate the Batman. I watched that recently.

Yeah, and you still, you still not clicking? No. No, it clicked even less for me. I don't know. It's three hours though, the new Dune. It's a long movie. You went to theaters to see what's good. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. That's a friend. It was packed? Oh yeah, it was packed. Packed. People loved Dune. Was everybody making the same noises? I mean, I cannot, I think you got to see it.

Like if you're into sci-fi and if you're into like some really well presented, like, you know, like there's a lot of attention to detail, the costume, the, just it's gorgeous. But is the story that engaging? It's engaging enough to, I was never like, there's plenty of times in a three hour movie, I'm like, okay, this must be the end. And I was like, holy shit, this is not the end. And it just went on for another half hour. But I would recommend watching it.

I think it's worthy of if you've got three hours to kill. Well, that means I gotta rewatch the first one. I didn't. I didn't rewatch it. I only saw it once and you'll be all right. You'll be able to pick it up. You'll be all right. It's like time is so precious as you get older.

You're like, I guess I'll rewatch this movie. I didn't like to watch a movie that I'm probably not going to like. I'd be shocked if you don't like it. It reminds me a lot of like Mad Max two at times, not as much action, but with the costumes and the way that people dress and like the culture that they try to present. It's very alien-esque.

I mean, is it telling that like Dune has been in my life since I was a kid? You know, I never read the books, but it's been around and I saw the first movie and I still don't know what the fuck spices. I'm like, what is this shit? I'm like, is it make you psychic? Is it a drug? Like I don't fucking know what spice it grows out of the sand. What is going on? Like to the worm, shit it out.

I don't understand fucking. If only if there was someone. At this point. If there was someone here. Get him, get him about to gouge his ears out because he, and his tongue because he wants to speak right now. He wants to talk about Spice. He wants to talk about doing so bad

and regale you with why you should love the books, but not the movie. I guess it's something that worms produce that is some sort of psychotic drug that like, well, it does bring you to like, P.O.D., right? Certain parts of it. It doesn't send you tripping and heighten your sentences.

All right, fuck off. It doesn't matter. No, I'm genuinely excited for Ghostbusters, man. It's the first movie in a long time that I've been like, I can't fucking wait for Ghostbusters. It's so weird, because we got trailers. And I remember, we're very different, different flavors of movies. And I was like, who're very different, different flavors of movies.

And I was like, who the fuck wants to see this? Oh, I can't wait to see it. Yeah. I'm just like, oh, it looks like it's. Is it all about children again? No, I think the O.G. Ghostbusters are there. I've been told that the O.G.

Ghostbusters have a much larger role than has even been anticipated in the, in the trailers. I think you're right. It looks like they're going to be major players, but yeah. But then again, I've never been a Ghostbusters guy. I've never, I've, I've all, I can watch them and enjoy them for what they are, but I've never been like, like one of those super fans, like gotta have the merch, gotta like live it, breathe it.

Yeah. I just see Ghostbusters car in his background. I see that. I see the one six scale. Yeah. Which is which is like a different strokes or different folks. But yeah, and I know that people, it's a beloved franchise. And for me, it's just like it's, I'll watch it. If it's good, I can admit I like it. But other than that, yeah, it's never been something that like, I've had a fever for. But other than that, yeah, it's never been something that like I've had a fever for

I mean that first movie is my favorite movie ever my life ever love that that first ghost buses movies mean so much to me I love it so much That it's hard not to get excited and then they're hitting the notes then they're like oh you guys remember slimer Here's slimer and I'm like slimer, here's slimer, and I'm like, oh, it's fucking slimer. Oh, here's the actor. I just, I give it to me. I want it. I get it. There's a certain fan base who like, like, who, who is out of their seats with joy when

they see slimer. But for me, it's just like, come on, man, move on. Give us a different ghost. Give us something that's like, stop going with the StayPuff guy no matter how many times. Yeah, if I had to make one suggestion, I would be like maybe we don't need the mini-pace StayPuff guys in this movie. But what do I know? I liked him in the first one, so we'll see. But man, like when the trailer, when like I'm assuming it's a attic of the firehouse and he goes up there and it's like all that food wrappers

and stuff and Slimer's been living alone in the firehouse all those years. Yeah, cause I, you know, it's that thing in me that's like, I think comes from comic books where it's like, I love continuity. I love seeing something come back. I love knowing the history of something. I love fan service.

I love, you know what I mean? Like that all comes from comic books, from like, oh, fuck this character's back. You know what I mean? I don't know, I just, it was. No, no, I get it. I totally get it. And again, I'm the, I am the minority here.

People love that franchise. I just like it. I don't love it, but you know, it's, it looks like it's poised to do baffle business. I hope so. I want them to make more and more and more and more. Will they bring back the gals? She's about to ask that.

I was waiting. You want to bring Slyver back? Well, what about they bring back the Gal Force? I think that, you know what it is? Name something Leslie Jones doesn't make better. I think that what's gonna happen is enough time's gonna go by. Like what happened with the Phantom Menace?

Remember how much we all fucking hated the Phantom Menace when it came out? Sure. And then, and now people are like, all right, it's been 20 something years. It's fucking, it's the Phantom Menace. It's always been around. And kids who grew up on Phantom Menace are like, no, what are you talking about? Phantom Menace is fucking awesome.

There's a chance that that 2016 Ghostbusters movies gets a reevaluation in 20 years. And then they bring them back for a cameo and something else, maybe? So you want to bring them back in 20 years? I don't want to bring them back for a cameo and something else maybe? So you want to bring them back in 20 years? I don't want to bring them back at all. I don't want to bring them back at all. What are you doing now? I would think though, like if you want Slimer back, if you want Stay Puff back, then you're all in.

I'm just talking about the fan base. You got to embrace it all then. Or your, or your false buster fans. I guess. Embrace it all. All right, I'll embrace it. You got it. There's no room for that. They did it in the comic book already. They did like a team up between the female team and the male team through like a multiverse type thing. Oh really? Did you enjoy that? It was probably the best way to use those characters I thought.

So it was fine. Like in the comic book it was fine. Well there would be any acknowledgement of those characters even in this like a throw away line or something. thought. So it was fine. Like in the comic book, it was fine. Will there be any acknowledgement of those characters, even in this like a throwaway line or something? That seems that's a head scratcher because it would be nice. It's not a head scratcher at all. Everybody's trying to forget.

But it's a head scratcher that you just wouldn't kind of like mention them in some way just to acknowledge the existence, the continuity, the canon, the universe that they're building. Even a little tongue-in-cheek poke at them. That movie threw out the main continuity. It was like, we're doing our own thing, so go do your fucking own thing. That's true.

Okay. Oh, wait. You can't do your own thing. Yeah, because nobody wants you to do your own thing. You don't want it. Is that what happened? Hahaha. Hahaha.

Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha.

Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha, Ghostbusters. Yeah, that's where I was going, ugh.

Ugh. Yeah. Ugh. Yeah, you know. I don't get excited about movies anymore, so it's nice to get excited about something. I'm sure, you know, I was being too hard. I think it's, it does look, again,

looks like they put a ton of money into it too. And the creature looks pretty cool. Yeah, that's like a snow demon or whatever it is. Like a snow demon or? Yeah, I can't wait, man. I'm going to go. I'll let you know. I'll give you the full download. And I thought, what's his name? He's definitely working out. Who? Um, the older Ghostbusters, not Bill Murray.

Ben Acru. Yeah. He looks a thousand times better than he did in the last ghostbusters. He, he got him a scout of facelift or something. I think he lost weight. I think he looked really like he looked like 30 years younger than he did in the last ghostbusters. And that, yeah, I thought the same thing. I was like, Oh, he saw the, he saw the last one.

It was like, let me slim down about. He's married to Donna Dixon, right? Yeah. I think they get divorced or they're still married. I checked the other day. It seems like random that I would check to see if they were married, but there's a reason. And yeah, they're still married. Oh, well, hey, good for them, man. I like it when it works out. Yeah. And that's a Hollywood marriage that definitely fucking defied logic and site. All reason.

And site. And somehow, someway, those two kooky kids made it. They made it. Nobody's on the couch jerking off with siblings or anything like that. Everything's fine in that marriage. That was what, that was what, 80s? Oh yeah. 80s, right? 84.

Wow. 83. And who did she leave? She left Paul Stanley and married Dan Echroyd. Dr. Detroit. I don't think that's, I mean, you could go with anything else besides Dr. Detroit.

Okay. So you're, you're, you can be on the arm of Star Child or Dr. Detroit. I would love to interview Donna Dixon, but it would come across as a little insulting if I was like, how do you go from the Star Child to Dr. Detroit? He's like, I'm right here. I can hear you saying it.

He's not a beat wasn't a bad looking guy when he was younger. He was tall, thin, rich, funny. Yes. I am not saying it's just the stature and the, you go from the star child, basically a rock god. The lover. Can you put fuck it Dan Akroyd in that unitard and those platform boots? And then you put Paul in there and you're not telling me he's a rock god

That chest all in ghost buses. See how that goes put all you know, you don't think you can pull off a fucking onesie He pulled off a fucking Unitard I think that could pull it off. What's that? I think that could pull it off. You think he could dress as the start child and get up on stage and have hundreds of thousands of people fought for him? He was a blues brother. He did it. He performed. But it's just dumpy. It's like a dumpy, like chubby blues brother.

He always looked middle age. Are you talking about him now or him back in the eighties? Even back as a blues brother. He just looked like he... He was taller and thin. That's not true. Taller and thin than Paul with his platforms on. He's fucking seven foot five.

I guess the question really too is like she made the right choice because who the fuck cares about Paul Stanley? Today. Does anybody? Yes. We do a podcast on it. cares about Paul Stanley today. Does anybody? Yes, we do a podcast on it. Aside from that. Well, I mean, if he wasn't in Ghostbusters, when's the last time you heard of Dan Akroyd?

Um, that's a good question, but he's an icon. Like he's, he's... An icon? That's tough. I mean, if you're going to say he's an icon, then you got to say he's an icon. Like he's, he's an icon. That's tough. I mean, if you're going to say he's an icon, then you got to say Paul's an icon too. And then they're both like placed with another guy in makeup. Didn't they just be like, yo, put the he was one of the unreplaceable members. Oh, they never replace him. Never replace them.

To me, his fucking superpower isn't looking good in the leotard. It's dealing with that fucking guy. Gene. Yeah. Gene, that's his fucking, that't looking good in the leotard. It's dealing with that fucking guy. Gene. Yeah, for Gene. That's his fucking, that's where he gets my respect. That's where I'm like, yeah, that's fucking, that's pretty fucking good because you know that was not an easy ride. He's got to hate that fucking guy.

Well, I mean, I think it's just business, man. At a certain point, it's like you got, it's something you just got to deal with. You got to put it, put it beside you and just power through it. Just put on your makeup and your boobs. I had Satellite Radio for a while and there was a promo that they would play before ever, like when they play a Kiss song, it would be Paul Stanley. And it's like in between songs and before they played a Kiss song, it'd be like, Paul Stanley of Kiss talks about Gene Simmons.

And it's just like, has it always been easy? No. You know, have we disagreed on things? Of course. You know, has he been difficult to be around? Sure. But at the end of the day, we both saw the vision and we saw it through. And, you know, we never let never let the band falter for other

reasons. And then they played a kiss song and I'm like, isn't there a better fucking soundbite you can play than that? I mean, that to me is a crazy soundbite that you would take to talk about, like Paul talking about Jean. There has to be a better one than that. I mean, how much worse could it get. He's like yeah he's an asshole anyway here's a kiss song.

That's all. That has to be rough I mean I think about like the four of us on Joker's and I'm like man we just like the gift of getting along all these years you know know, for the most part, there's little things here and there of course, but like I couldn't imagine like doing it for that long and like not getting along, hating, they gotta hate each other, right? At points. I've never heard that they hate each other,

but I mean, he's definitely a pill, man. He's definitely a guy that could probably get on your nerves. He's, but they probably both have like massive, gigantic galaxy sized egos though that take you. How did you not, right? Which is funny because like, I wonder what people evaluate KISS as today, like someone in their 20s. I wonder if they look at it and they're like rock gods or they're like

prehistoric dinosaurs shit. Yeah Yeah, so they live long enough to see them become fucking a Joke Well, I mean, yeah, but the Eddie band of that era is going to be looked upon as stale Stale bread you think springsteen's looking stale? Oh, it's what's one year old? Baby, down in the factory.

Has been, has been partboard walk. That's where I wrote some songs. Been down and hanging out in my back pocket. Yeah, but at least you can look like... Oh, I mean, it was... You can make it springsteen and be like, I mean, say what you want about the guy. He's wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. He's not dressed up like a fucking cat.

Lip-syncing all over the fucking stage. Oh! There's some dignity that comes to it. That comes with being Bruce. You put that makeup on, you can hide so many wrinkles and blemishes and imperfections. You put that makeup on, all of a sudden that 70 year old face turns into a 55 year old face. Yeah, Vinnie Vincent is still wearing the makeup. I'm just saying though, but the kids I think would look at that and be like, that's fucking

get this corn bowl shit out of here. Well, the kids got to be educated. That's the problem. You know, it's like, can you, can you have courses in all kinds of shit at college? There should be a kissology course. Yeah. Let me show you how difficult it is for a 70 year old man to get up on stage for an hour and a half.

Lip-syncing or not, he has to fucking get up on a trapeze. He has to breathe fire. He has to spit blood and then be fucking thrown into the air 100 feet, you know, by these wires and still look like he's not a 70-year-old man doing it and they are able to do it. You you know, they don't look like 70 year old men that you're gonna walk up on in fucking Wawa, you know, they are fucking, you know, they are that's because they're fucking billionaires and they have the money to do it I think a kid in the audience should be like look, I'm not gonna be able to afford a house. I'm 40 Dickheads on stage making billions of dollars, dressing like a fucking alien cat or whatever the fuck they are.

I don't know that kids would love it. I just- Well, I don't have to love it. I want them to appreciate it. Just respect it. Respect it, that's it. Okay, I love it. Show some respect.

That's too much to ask for. But I don't think that Dan, I think Dan Ackroy deserves more respect. I don't think he's, I don't think he's disrespected at all. I think I was just, yeah, I was just venting because, you know, I mean, I still feel bad that Paul didn't get to marry Donna Dixon. You're the right songs about it. It still bugs me. You know, that's something that Paul's can't be, you know, if I was in, if I, you know, you're gonna like side with Dan, I'm gonna side with Paul. And at the end of the day, you know,

we got, I got Paul's back, you got Dan's back. Yeah, it's alright. Two people nobody gives a fuck about. No parent person is like, if you had to pick one between the war, Dan Akroyd and Paul Stanley. Yeah, I'm gonna give it to him too. Dan Ackroyd won. Dan Ackroyd won. Well, who did Paul Stanley marry? Who did he marry? He did get married. He did have children, but at the end of the day,

like, that was the prize. That was the prize. That was the prize and he lost. And, you know, I have to admit that. That doesn't come easy for me to say that out on a podcast that Paul lost. And so publicly too. It's not like a regular relationship where it's like you and some other guy at the bar

and he wins for the night. It's like this is publicly, she left him for another guy, another very famous guy. Another famous guy. Dan Ackroyd's like the Tom Brady of getting that asked. Speaking of Tom Brady, did you hear that it came out that it's confirmed that Giselle was having an affair with her Brazilian... Jitsu instructor. Yeah, he said that he came to grips with and that he had to admit to himself that the

affair had been going on for quite some time. While they were married. while they were married. Yeah. They were on opposite ends of the couch, master. The worst kind of betrayal. And I just would, I just would like to, uh, I don't, I don't want to rub it on people's faces or, you know, say, I told you so or expect, that's not like you expect to people to contact K Muse too

and apologize to me for how they bash me for me bashing her at the time when everything was going south. And I was called a misogynist and I was called the fucking caveman and I was called a Tom Brady apologist. I expect the same amount of emails in my inbox. Yeah.

And I haven't seen any yet. So I'd like to say the same for saying the Chinese creating COVID. We're talking something more meaningful here. We're talking the goat. I would have seen a few emails come my way. COVID versus the fair. But doesn't that give, in some small way though, it's kind of, I don't know, not comforting,

it's not the right word, but like, we're all in this together. We're all in this together. And if Tom Brady, his wife, can step out on him, basically in Adonis, basically God's, you know, fucking Adam or whatever is that thing he created like that, that's on that Michelangelo painting. Oh, right, right. Yeah.

What's that character called? The finger. Yeah, with the finger. God. Yeah. And she still would step out on him. Yeah. It's really like, hey, it's no, it's, it happens and don't beat yourself up on it. Either it has anything to do with like the fact that he, that motherfucker, he never put up a fence in his life.

Do you think it did? Sure, he could throw a wicked spiral. Something did. Yeah, but he could put up, but he could pay to have a fucking a million fences put around just property. Yeah, but something, some essential man. Don't you think some essential manliness manliness is lost when you're like step out on me. That's it. Don't you think some essential manliness is lost when you're like, I gotta pay this guy to do this fence for me?

It doesn't matter. I hope not because if that's the case, what does my wife think of me? I'm a lesbian. I'm a lesbian. It's not as satisfying to be like, I could just pay someone to put up a fence. I couldn't figure out how to turn the heat on in the car the other day.

And so I was like, why are you driving around in this icebox? It's like, well, I can't figure out which dial turns the heat on. The other. A Jiu-Jitsu class? She's like, yeah, I'm thinking about joining a Jiu-Jitsu class. It's like, really? Trust me, trust me. Okay.

Oh, just you. Okay. Yeah, you need some protection courses. I want to be there to protect you. That's right. I want to always be here to be your muscle. She's like, oh, you're right about you not always being around. That's a good thing.

Yeah. Well, let's find someone who's like really buff and knows what they're doing. Yeah. This is going to be great. This is going to be great. Everything's fine. This is foolproof. But you understand what I'm saying? It's like it is, I don't know how to say this. It's almost like a religious thing. It's like he got cheated on so we don't feel so bad about it when it happens to us. Tom Brady, right? It's almost like he took that slight or that like,

you know that- He took the cup hold hit. Yeah, almost like Jesus like in a way that like, you know, that he took the couple's hit. Yeah. Yeah, for almost like Jesus like in a way that like he died for our sins. Well, like he got cheated on for us not to feel so shitty about ourselves. That's true. If you walk in and your wife is jerking off with your brother on a couch, like you could say, hey, it happened to Tom Brady. What did I think it wasn't going to happen to me? I mean, yeah, I mean, you could take some solace. I don't know if people will, but, you know, even the best of us

like in life happens. At this point, if it happened to Tom Brady, you should expect that it's going to happen to you. I might even just be surprised when it does. I bet you it started with flirting, which is Ellen that fucking. Like very close showing her the moves and shit, you know, has his arm on her elbow. You're looking great today.

Looking great today. Great kicks, great flexibility. Yeah. See, Tom should have challenged him to a fucking, a fucking steel cage match. Yeah. To win back to love a woman. He went back to the hand of his woman a fucking steel cage match. Right? And went back to the hand of his woman. And I think much like Fonzie,

who could like he could do any task, even if he had never done it before. I think Tom Brady could fuck and whip that Brazilian jujitsu's ass. In jiu-jitsu. Right? Make your style. Make your style. Dance a monkey? Let's go. Drunk monkey? I got that too.

I got that too. I'm covered. The fucking Tom Brady bitch. That's so funny. Jesus. I'm covered. Tom Brady, bitch. Jesus. Wow. Yeah. We learned a lot here today.

Yeah. All right. We, I know you want to wrap it up. Q has to go right? Q's got to go. You got to go. I got to go. Everybody has to go.

Everybody's got to go. Life. Mm hmm. That's it. Life, baby. Tell him, Steve, Dave.
