Episode Date: November 17, 2024

Tyson vs Paul, Hawk Tuah, Walt pitches a biz, is Q out of touch?

Would you want people to sit on your lap at all? Depends on who the person was. Yeah? Jimmy, you know? Jimmy the hair guy? Well, because he's light. Jimmy and Ming on either on both knees. I could deal with that. So I'm turning into just the biggest pussy in the world.

It's really weird, Q wouldn't leave me alone. I saw him in the grocery store and he was like, you can just buy anything you want here and then bring it home and eat it. I had to wait in line to buy these groceries just like you. This is so awesome. of Tell em Steve Dave. I sit here with Walt Flanagan. Hey yo. And BQ. Hello.

How's it going guys? How is everything? Fucking phenomenal. Yeah? Yeah. It's a good day? It's a good day you're above ground son That only know one thing it is better to be alive It is speak of that like right out of the gate. I have so are you guys gonna watch the Tyson fight?

Netflix tonight. This is a Friday the 15th. Yeah, I don't know that I'm that interested in it But no Friday the 15th we're recording this. I don't know that I'm that interested in it, but no. No? I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't if I was home, but I'm not home tonight. Oh, you're not home? Okay. Yeah, me and Joe DeRosa are getting together tonight. You know how that goes.

I do, that you're not going to be home till late. Yeah. It's going to be carousing if it's a DeRosa. I mean, or in his house playing video games. It's one of the two, but I haven't seen him in a couple of months. So I was starting to get some pretty irate vibes. Well, it was a little bit like, you know, he's not wrong. He's not wrong.

There's this thing, I don't know if you heard it, but Tyson did a interview. Yeah, I saw it. Did you see it? With a little kid. With a little girl? Jason did a interview. Yeah, I saw it. Did you see it? With a little kid. With a little girl? Oh, you sent this. I didn't get a chance.

I didn't see. I was driving when you sent it and then I forgot about it. I want people to hear it because it's so fucking funny. You'll like it. Purposely funny or like... No. Oh, boy. No.

It's an hour. It's a minute and 15 seconds, so be patient. It's worth the payoff. Just as a visual, I'll give you a cue. That's the little girl right there who's doing the interview. She looks like she's about 12 or something. So this is Mike Tyson talking to a young girl in an impromptu interview I'm your return to the ring for this fight You are setting a monumental opportunity for kids my age to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for the first time So after such a successful career, what type of legacy would you like to leave behind when it's all said and done? I don't know. I don't believe in the word legacy. I just think that's another word for ego

Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's just some word everybody grabbed onto. Someone said that word and everyone grabbed on to words and that was used every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm just passing through, I'ma die and it's gonna be over. We're the big ego, so I'ma die.

I want people to think that I'm this, I'm great, I'm nowhere, nothing. We're just dead. We're dust. I'm nowhere nothing. We get dead with dust. We absolutely nothing She's nodding in agreement Well, thank you so much for sharing that that is something that I have not heard before someone say that as an answer Can you really imagine somebody say I want my legacy to be this way when I get dead? Why do you want to think I really want to think about you?

your debt. Why do you want to think I really want to think about you? How was that? I think I want you to think about me when I'm gone. Who the fuck cares about my kids? Maybe grandkids. And again, thank you so much for sharing that. Is he cursive? Yes. She's doing her best that girl. She's got a future. She didn't blink. She went along with it. Yeah, she's fucking great. Wow. I guess Tyson's feeling a little depressed, huh? Seems so. I saw, did you see the footage where he smacked Jake Paul in the face because he

stepped on his toe? I did not. Oh, okay. Yeah. I guess you know when they like prior to the fight, when they go and they like get nose to nose and all that stuff, for some reason, Tyson was in socks, just socks. And Jake Paul like stepped up to him. I don't know. I don't think so. It didn't appear to be because it looked like he barely stepped on his toe. But for some reason said something about like, he's like, I don't like people stepping on my feet. And he smacked, like he smacked them so hard that like, I feel like I would be either dead or at least at the very least, like in a coma toast. Yeah.

You think it was pre-planned or suggested? I, this feels like WWE. You think so? Yeah, it does. I mean, it was just more hype for people to latch onto and be like, I got to see this, I got to see this. I got to see this. I'm not really into boxing. It's not something that I will make an effort to watch. I don't really care. Yeah. I don't care either. I want to see if Jake Paul gets smacked around because he's very like,

you have to, even though he's like half his age, I think Jake Paul's only like 27 or 28 or something. Tyson's 58. 58's 58. Yeah. I mean, not so old that he can't kick ass. I mean, 58 is still in the range of, I don't want to fuck with this guy. But his, but his, will he tire quicker though than a 28 year old? I guess maybe, but he's probably training. If he could survive the first couple rounds, I mean, I imagine he will tire out a lot quicker than a 28-year-old will.

You would think, yeah. You would. And that's an exceptional in shape 28-year-old too. Yeah. It's not like me at 28 walking up. Yeah. I don't know. I actually want to watch it.

I'm not a boxing guy either. I'll watch highlights. I'll watch Tyson highlights where he's knocking people out in three seconds, that kind of shit. But as far as like the actual sport, I'm not a big boxing guy. Yeah, me neither. I don't like UFC. It's why I like pro wrestling because it's like, yeah, people get hurt but-

Not purposely getting need in the face. I don't really like it. It's pretty brutal. Yeah, I have a hard time with that. So I'm turning into just the biggest pussy in the world. The older I get, the more and more I get soft and soft and soft. Because you don't like to see other human beings, like anything animals hurt and mangled for other people's enjoyment. Yeah, that's, that's a good bit. But people do though Oh, yeah, that's what I'm saying. I never really like that But like when I was in Los Angeles last week

There was like a spider in my hotel room and I caught him and like brought him down ten ten stories to get him outside You know what I mean? Like it's just like I'm in this thing now It's like I see like a dead bird on the sidewalk and I get like upset. Yeah, it's really like this thing where it's like I can't imagine hurting anybody and I can't, yeah. It's really like this thing where it's like, I can't imagine hurting anybody and I can't imagine hurting like even animals now. I don't like you got the feels, man. Look at you. I got the major feels. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At the same time, I started rereading Garth Anderson's Punisher run. Yeah. Holy fuck, dude. It's so good. It's a lot of violence.

That's what I'm saying. It's like issue after issue of just people getting torn apart. And I'm like, it's so fucking well written. I was reading it. I actually wanted to, I want to do an iBuy comics about it. Okay. Because I can't believe how much I love it. I'm like, this might be one of my favorite runs.

That's a long run, isn't it? Yeah. First it was Marvel Knights. And then he switched to Marvel Max. And that's when it got into like the more violent, like child slavery saving shit. But like the Knights was, and I'm loving them both, but the Knights was, that's where you had your grotesque villains, you know, the Russian coming in and like comedy was, and like Wolverine, his take on Wolverine is just so funny. I'll save it for the episode But dude, I'm just falling in love with it. I'm like, I cannot believe what made you revisit it Um, I couldn't find them for the longest time and then recently

I guess I just found out that they did on the buses about all his entire run So I was like well good time to dive in and it was it was fucking dude It's making my like I'm sitting there laughing out loud while I'm reading So what do you do at your floppy's your old floppy's are your the right when you originally read it? They're in their preserved in long boxes preserved. So love that Preserve 200 issues and bring them downstairs when I can just pay $14 and download them on an iPad.

So I have them while I'm just... It's that long of a run? It's long. Yeah. He did it for like five years. Oh, okay. Yeah. Some of it's with Steve Dillon.

Most of it's with Steve Dillon. The late Steve Dillon, right? Yeah. It's like getting those preacher vibes. Yeah, yeah, and some of it's with Steve Dillon. Most of it's with Steve Dillon. The late Steve Dillon, right? Yeah, and it's like getting those preacher like... Is Garth Ennis still active in the current comic community? Not as much as he was and not as much as he should be. He just did a Punisher Fury in Vietnam story that just ended last month. How come he fell out of favor or he just chose to...

I think he chose to do independent stuff so he can make the money, I guess. But I don't know. Boys was a hit, is an ongoing hit. That's right, yeah. Preacher had three seasons. So it's like, I wonder why they're not... The TV show? Yeah. Oh, nobody. I forgot all about that. That is not a TV show that people remember fondly.

What TV show? I'm sorry. Preacher. Preacher. Oh, yeah. Remember that? It wasly. What TV show? I'm sorry. Preacher. Preacher. Oh yeah. Remember that? It was on AMC. Yeah.

I thought that was going to be a massive hit. I watched the first season, then I didn't watch anything after that. It wasn't really Preacher is the problem. So you're saying that it still needs to be done definitively. I believe so. That being said, I did enjoy that series. I liked the take. To me it was just like, it's not the book, but they got a lot that they made a show that I did enjoy okay preacher

So I was on board with it, but I would love to see like a television series like an HBO series I don't know why they're fucking doing last of us when preachers right there You know what I mean like it would be wild But hopefully one day a lot of that vertigo stuff has not been able to translate to the screen they did the Sandman and nobody liked it. That didn't really hit. We got a second season coming. How long in between first season and the second season? Like two years like a year two years. I think it's more than that. No I had the strikes and everything no way. I don't know man it feels like that was so long ago. So the second season never came out yet?

No, no. No, it's coming out soon. I'm going to say it's been four years. I mean, possible, but we had the strikes and everything like that. I think a lot came into that. How long was that strike? That was shit, man.

There were like two strikes right next to each other. It was the writers, and it was the actors. But that is probably the most acclaimed comic book in comic book history, say, man. Yeah, it's up there. It's one of them. I would have to think, like, if it's not the most acclaimed, it's one of the top five. And um... What people at home will never see is the way your eyes went distant when you said it under your breath.

And I don't think that that series resonated as I thought it would. I thought it would be like the biggest thing and it really wasn't because I don't know why though. Well it wasn't like it made you see we're for my thing because I watched Sandman and there were episodes that were good and there are episodes that whatever like the Corinthian Act thought they nailed but the changes they made to Sandman for me were like why the fuck did you guys do this like it doesn't even make any sense the changes that you guys made it it's taken me away from like what I love and stuff like that whereas with Preacher We're like, why the fuck did you guys do this? It doesn't even make any sense, the changes that you guys made.

It's taken me away from what I love and stuff like that. Whereas with Preacher, they went so fucking wacky with it that I was like, I could accept this. You know what I mean? I don't know. I could accept it. That Preacher series, the television show somehow made you feel for Hitler, which is insane to think about.

Did it have a resolution, the preacher series? Yeah, they wrapped it up. They did have, it wrapped up. What was Sam Man, Roy? Sam Man was almost exactly two years ago now. The first season came out. Okay, wow, it feels like a million years ago. Yeah, 2022.

Yeah, yeah. You know, so I don't know. So anyway, yeah, I'd love to do an iBuy comics about it. Absolutely. It's deep in, man, deep, iBuy comics about it. Absolutely. Deep in, man. Deep, deep in and loving it. Brian, you might actually enjoy reading them for that episode.

200 comics? Well, I don't think you got to read all 200 comics. But you might get started. What's your favorite Ennis storyline? We'll do that then. Of Punisher? Yeah. Let me read a little bit more of the Max titles because I just finished the Knights and I'm a little bit into the Max.

Had those gorgeous Tim Bradstreet covers. Every issue, even both Knights and Max, yeah. You know how a challenger is? He just passed away Bradstreet. He passed away too? He just passed away, yeah. I believe. Dude, everyone's dropping like flies. Yeah. I know. We just had a contemporary go. Who's that? Well, this guy Al that we knew from school. He was a couple of years older than us, but not so old that you would be like, ah, we got a while.

Yeah. What killed him? I'm not sure. I just happened to see it on Facebook. So I'm not sure exactly what happened to him, but yeah. People drop them off. So I'm not sure exactly what happened to him, but yeah. People drop them off. I'm going to Tyson. Yeah.

It doesn't matter. He's done. I probably wouldn't be so concerned with legacy if part of my legacy was rape. Right. Probably like, maybe we just forget all this. Smashing old ladies with bricks and stealing their purses. Yeah. Yeah.

Um, I went ahead and did some research because we're looking for that younger demographic so I watched the Hottuapod. Oh yeah? Oh boy. Not as good as the clips. Not as good as the clips, no. It was, I'm not going to say it was brutal. It wasn't like holy shit, there is nothing of value here.

But it is geared definitely towards people who are not our age. Like she was introducing her boyfriend who I think is like 20 or something. Well, I heard rumors her boyfriend was Sam Darnold from the Minnesota Vikings quarterback. No, it's this other guy that's from her hometown. Some guy she calls Pookie. Oh, all right. I don't know.

Poor guy. Yeah. He was like, yeah. They were like, because her friend is on it, the friend that was in the video with her originally, the friend is also on the podcast. I can't remember what her name is, but she brought up a question like how do you feel being called Pookie all the time now? Like his people at work call him Pookie, like his friends are calling him Pookie. And he's just like, I don't know, I guess it's fine. But like you look at that relationship and he's so like down homie and not Hollywood and now she's just stepping into it and it's a new relationship.

So I most want to keep abreast of what's going on with Hawktoe to see how quickly it falls apart. Well, she like, she's already tied to athletes already though. There's already rumors that she was dating a quarterback in the NFL though. Right. So that's got to be difficult. If rumors are circulating that she's dating this one or that one, Pookie's got to be going after them. She's here and she's there.

Yeah. Pookie's got a lot in his hands. Yeah's here and she's there. Yeah. Pookie's got a lot of this hands. Pookie couldn't get into the Soho club. Oh yeah? I guess the other day they were out in LA and she was in there and he went to the door and they're like, you can't come in. He's like, oh, I'm here for Hallie Welch. And they're like, yeah, you can't come in.

So she had to come out and get him. Well, if you're not a member, you can't get in. Right, you can't just walk in, right? You can just walk in. But it just goes to hammer home your outsider status. What did they talk about? They talked mostly about how they met and that kind of shit. A lot of like sex jokes, that sort of thing.

She had on Holly Madison. I didn't watch that episode, but Holly Madison, that Playboy playmate. So they're talking about Playboy versus- I thought Holly Madison was a website for people who did date. That's actually Madison. Oh, okay. If it's still around even, I don't know if it's still around. Remember there's a big leak and everybody got in trouble. Everybody's emails got leaked. That has to be like, if you're one of those guys and you hear that news, you must be like, who would do that?

Why would you do that to me? Bros. Yeah. Before hoes. We were supposed to have Brian Rupert on. He was going to tell us he had, took a, took a poll of all the students in it. In the high school he works and they were, he was going to give us talking points moving forward to reach a younger demographic because he pulled all the students.

Oh wow, that's great. Yeah, but he works, he works in school so we were recording this at 1 PM so he wasn't available. Yeah. Okay. Just so you know, Q, that foul smell isn't me, it's this dog. That's what French Bulldogs do. That's just a way of reminding you, hey, I'm still here and I love you.

Yeah. That's sweet. That's a sweet way to look at it. Yeah. Don't forget me. Great. Cats don't do that? Cats very rarely. Very rarely. I won't say it never happens, but years go by before I smell a cat. When you do, you're like, oh man. Benjamin, like all his medications and shit, towards the end, he would let loose some. No shame at all. No shame. Yeah. Norm does it. Norm is a very stretchy dog. He constantly is stretching, stretching his arms out, stretching his legs out. And whenever he stretches his front paws out, it's like almost universally every

time. It doesn't smell, but Mary Beth was like, Norm. That's going to train him to not smell. You can control him. He knows what the fuck she's talking about. Yeah. You can't teach a dog not to do that. Yeah. She can be like Brian, but she can't be like, no. But I mean, I won't look, I have full on conversations with my cat, so I can't blame her. Right. So, you know, we're all crazy.

Yeah, I'm not sure the, the kitten's doing well. Yeah. The kitten really. Sassy. Fucking sassy, settled in big time. Good. Already running the house. Yeah.

Like, like my, the main dominant cat is kind of like cool with her, which I was really surprised about Salem. I wasn't sure if he was going to accept her enough. Salem is a little bit of a scaredy cat, right? Sometimes? No, that's Princess Mitch. Princess Mitch is the scaredy cat. She wasn't crazy about her first.

They were doing some hissing back and forth, but Salem was like, all right, I mean, we got a dog. What's another cat? I've already lost control. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But he got displaced on his, like his little spot on the bed the other day. Oh yeah.

So now we have two cats and a dog in bed with us every night. That's nice. It's hot. Well. That makes it hot. Are you physically warm? Yeah. Yeah, not hot.

No, I'm like, oh yeah, let's fuck with these animals on the bed. Uh, yeah. Yeah. You got dogs in the bed? Sure. Both of them? Uh, sometimes. Yeah.

And it definitely gets hot. Yeah. Definitely the, the body temperatures start to rise. In the summertime, it could be brutal. In the winter time, it's not that as bad, but you know, it is what it is. Yeah. You know, it's, it's part of the, uh, part of the gig. So Pam got a, uh, a ransom letter sent to my email with an address.

I haven't lived that for the last six years. Oh, a physical letter? No, no, it was an email. It says Pamela Johnson, which now the address that they provide was a place that I lived, but Pam never lived. They have my phone number, they have the wrong zip code, but it says that I know that by calling and then my phone number or visiting the old address would be a convenient way to have a word with you.

If you don't cooperate, don't try to hide from this. You have no idea what I can do in Tinton Falls. That was the town I used to live in. I suggest you read this message carefully. Take a moment to chill, breathe, and analyze it thoroughly because we're about to discuss a deal between you and me and I don't play games. This is so much fun. This is me and I don't play games. This is someone fucking with you, right? This is comedy? I don't think so. I've seen this before. Basically what they're doing is they're saying that they

have access to your computer and your browser history and all this other shit and what they want is Bitcoin. They're like if, because they go on about like, you're keeping tabs on your pathetic, oh, I've been keeping tabs on your pathetic existence for a while. It's simply your hard luck that I accessed your misadventures. I gave in more than I probably should have been exploring into your personal life, extracted quite a bit of juicy info from your system and I've seen it all. Yeah, yeah, I've got footage of you doing filthy things in your room. Nice setup by the way.

And I'm reading this, all you think of is Pam and Edgar with a video camera in the corner of their room. Nice setup. Yeah. I developed videos and screenshots where on just one side of the screen there's whatever garbage you've been enjoying and on the part, it's your vacant face. With just a click, I can send all this garbage into your contacts. Your confusion is clear, but don't expect sympathy.

Frankly, I'm willing to wipe the slate clean and allow you to get on with your life and wipe the slate clean, says it twice. I will give you two alternatives. First alternative is to turn a deaf message to the ear. Let's see what happens if you pick this path. I'll send your video to your entire contacts. The video is straight fire. And I can't even fathom the embarrassment you'll endure when your colleagues, friends, and fam see it, but hey, that's life, ain't it?

Don't be playing the victim here. Why wouldn't you? Yeah. You are the victim. Yeah. You're not allowed to jerk off in your fucking office. Really? Like just by the fact that they're shaking me down or shaking Pam down.

Thank God, Gim's not here to hear you say that. I don't want to think about that. It's also not his office. Isn't there squatter's rights? You might be right about that. The second option is to pay and be confidential about it. We'll name this his confidentiality fee. Let's see what will happen when you select this way out.

Your dirty secret remains private. I will wipe everything clean once you send payment. You have to make payment by Bitcoin only. I want you to know I'm aiming for a win-win here. I honor my obligations. Wow, what a great guy. Then the amount is $1,950 and the Bitcoin address is like a long series of like numbers and letters.

Let me tell you, it's peanuts for your tranquility. What is Pabe's reaction upon getting this? She didn't get it. Oh, you got it. I got it. Yeah, they sent it to my address. I think she would, knowing her, I think she'd be buying Bitcoin. Even though it's like clearly they've got nothing on her.

What about Farmville bucks? Yeah. No doubt. I think she'd be buying Bitcoin. Even though it's like clearly they've got nothing on her. What about Farmville bucks? Yeah. No doubt. If I catch, oh shit, now here's where we could run into trouble since I'm sharing this on the podcast. If I catch that you've shared or discussed this email with anyone else, the video will instantly start getting sent to your contacts and please don't even think about turning

your phone off or resetting it to factory settings. Factory settings, it's pointless. I don't make mistakes, Pamela. Cool. Wow. Right. Yeah. So actually he made a lot.

Now, if you could, what would you do with the people who pull these stunts? Oh, jail. I, I. For attempted fraud. I feel, feel that like, since're in these other countries, their government should be doing far worse than jail. I think, I think death sentence to a couple of these people. Teach everybody else a lesson.

Yeah. Make sure that, you know, you get the word across, you get caught pulling his shit, you know, it's going to be curtains. Right. Lights out. I mean, they have barbaric judicial systems, right? I think it's not probably as fair as here. Yeah.

I mean, dip them in a fucking acid bath slowly. Take off their skin. Do you think, Q? I mean, wow. Well, would I call for it? No. After you came in all sunny and shit. I felt bad for a roach.

I saved him. I wouldn't call for this, but if I found out that other countries were making this a punishable by death thing, I'd probably shrug. I guess that's what they're doing. You've heard a lot worse than other countries are doing, right? Yeah. And you shrugged. To innocent people. Shrugged everything.

What am I going to do? What am I going to do? What do you want me to do about any of it? The only thing I can do is to help the spiders in my hotel room and the birds in my yard and the squirrels in my yard. That's it. So if you somehow you found out about some poor, where are usually the countries that are these originating? A lot of times it's Nigeria or India. Some Nigerian guy is like, be cute, be cute. Yeah.

I need your help. Please, sir. He's reaching out. Please. Your confusion is clear. Don't expect sympathy. So what do I do with that? What's the same letter?

I'm in jail. They're going to put me, they're going to dip me in acid. Oh, so he's like, only you going to dip me in acid. Also. So he's like, you can only, you can get me out of it. I got some cats in the yard. They're hungry. I'm not looking to help fucking scumbags like that. Well, yeah.

I mean, you were involved in something like this, but you know, indirectly. Well, yeah, I wouldn't say I was involved, but yeah, I was a victim. I'm a victim. You're a victim too, huh? I think so, yeah. My identity was stolen and used for nefarious purposes. How am I not a victim here? I guess so.

Yeah. I wonder how many people did believe it though, like after she told the story. I wonder how many people would have fallen for the same thing. Troy sent me this TikTok thread the other day. There isn't a woman out there who is in love with Q. Really? There's not one. He's not sending this to me?

He sent it to me. His daughter sent it to him and she was like, check out these comments and it was like, dude, you're highly desirable. That's because they don't know me. We're gonna TV screen from 10 years ago. So it's out there Q people. They like more than just your feet. It would appear.

Yeah, what are you gonna do? Nothing. Nothing, nothing you can do. I'm not gonna do anything. Let's see, I will say this about Hawk to it too. Cause you know, we have some spots here of course, but Hawk Tuah in an hour and 10 minutes had seven live reads.

Whoa. Yeah. She's got to get it while she can. She's got to get it while she can, and they're sponsored by some big company. The set looks pretty nice. The editing sucks though. There's a couple, I think they have three different camera angles and the direction of that is just terrible. It's very jarring.

If only all of it could be, I look like a werewolf. Some small portion of it, you'll use a razor on. Yeah. I shave my arms too, so I could use very small portion. If only all of it could be. I look like a werewolf. Some small portion of it. You'll use a razor on. Yeah. Yeah. I shave my arms too, so I could use it for that. Really? For what?

Well, because my arm hair gets so long that I buzz it so it doesn't get like gorilla-like. Oh, wow. I didn't know that about you. Yeah. And then underneath where my tattoos are, I shave that clean so there's not like all hair on it. Oh, I didn't know you did that. Wow. Yeah.

For what though? Like who, like, you know, for- For me. Yeah, I don't like a lot of body hair. Like I have Mary Beth shave my back with the other manscaper, you know, my shoulders, I get all that gross hair off. Can't you just get it all like taken out for good? Isn't there a permanent-

Yeah, there's like laser treatment. I think Murray had his back lasered. Did he? Yeah. Yeah, I considered that at one time, his back lasered. Did he? Yeah. I considered that at one time, like back when I was in shape. Yeah. I was like, let me get all this back hair laser because I used to get my back waxed all the time.

That fucking hurts like hell. Yeah. No fun. No. I don't have any hair on my back. No? Lucky. Now you don't.

Why would you? I don't know. Look like, who was that wrestler, Bruno Sammartini? Bruno Sammartini. Bruno Sammartini. Bruno Sammartini, yeah. Always wanted to look like that. I got a little on my shoulders. I just zap it off on my man's feet.

I always want my body to look like I was wearing like a mohair shirt like George the Animal Steal. Yeah. Like just a perfect sweater. Yeah. Yeah. Like just a perfect sweater.

Yeah. I've seen guys like that. Yeah. It's not that attractive. Why though? It's shocking. I don't know. Yeah.

I don't know. In the 70s though, women loved dudes with hairy chests. Hairy chests and shit. Yeah. Hairy chest is one thing. I think the back though, like that gorilla fur on your back is like a little bit much. Why is the front okay to have hair but not the back? Like why? Well, like what's this weird hangup that the like front, fine, back, no way.

I guess front hair just like, you know, maybe not like a full coat, like a carpet on the front but like a little chest. Like Paul Stanley. I don't know that. Yeah. I don't know. And the hair on the front, but like a little chest. Like Paul Stanley. I don't know that, but yeah. I don't know, and the hair on the back is usually coming to you. It's all curly and sweaty and shit like that. It's like kind of... Yeah, like I can feel it on my shirt.

When she buzzes my back and then I put a shirt on, it feels so much better. The irony is not lost on you. It's like you're- The hairy face. Yeah, and then you're like everywhere else, I don't want hair except on my face. Just on my face. Well, I'm trying to cover it up.

Like I just said, I'd go full werewolf if I could. Uh, what else do we got here?

I went to, I wanted to ask Walt's opinion on something. So when I was in California, I went to this complex store called Revenge Of. It's kind of on the newer side. It's a new shop? Yeah. It's not like Meltdown or Golden Apple or any of the ones that have been out there forever. I walked inside and it was awesome. They had the front when you walk in. It almost looked like a deli to me and they had comics in the fridge and stuff like that. Whatever, it just looked like a store when you walked in. Then the next room, they had all these pinball machines and some classic

arcades. The next door was a cafe that was playing old movies with toys all around that you could buy and games that you could buy, board games you could just take off and play and stuff like that. Okay. And it was awesome and it was packed. There were tons of people that were playing games and buying comics and just hanging out and shit like that. And I had thought that comic stores were kind of like going out a little bit or it was like a little bit of a dying industry.

It was a tough market. Yeah, but this made me want to open my own comp book store. It's like how fucking cool would it be to have a place like this? I'm not going to do it. Why not though? Unless you want to do it with me. Well, you know the cost of comp books today. Yeah. Yeah. They're going up to $4.99 a book too now. Yeah. I would not invest in a comic book store at this stage of the-

But they're making it work. Are they buying comics or were they all hanging out? That's the one thing. Is money being transferred from customer to proprietor or is it a hangout? Is it people watching movies all day and then being like, well, I would buy that book if it wasn't $5.99. Are they packed? What day of the week was it? It was Friday. It was a Friday.

Evening? Afternoon? It was during the day. It was probably two in the afternoon. It was the week that Absolute Superman came out. I know that they had to restock VAT while I was there because I saw them do it. I don't know. I wasn't paying attention to see if people were buying. I would be terrified. I don't know how. I've been out of comic books, specifically new comic books for so long, I wouldn't even know what the pulse rate is of the consumers are at this point. It would be not something that-

You'd have to relearn everything. Yeah. That would be a daunting task to try to figure out what today's buyer is interested in, what they're not interested in anymore. My kids don't like X-Men. I used to love the X-Men. Wolverine. Anything that Wolverine sells, I'm buying 100 copies. This is you running Q's store.

Thank you. Because it's, whoa, whoa, what's with all these copies of Dazzler or whatever? What's a book that you're absolutely interested in? Yeah. Because it's, whoa, whoa, what's with all these copies of Dazzler or whatever? What's a book that you have? Absolute Superman guest starring Wolverine. I was like, it's got Wolverine in it, BQ. The kids love it. It's like Ace Freely.

It's like we got gold on our hands. Do you hate gold, Q? Is that your problem? Oh, man. It was so nice to be in like a thriving environment like that. How many pinball machines you got? I have five. Okay. Well, that right there, we could fill- At least one wall?

... a big portion of the store with your five pinball machines. Sure. That's great. We got to leg up because you already have the pinball machines. Right. Okay. Yeah, in the arcade games. No arcade games, but I'd be willing to invest in. They had a Temple of Doom one, like the original one where it's like a side scroller where you're whipping like Molaram and stuff like that.

Now, is it a quarter based or is it something you buy for an hour, you can unlimited play? No, it was the, it was, they had custom tokens, but it was basically a token was a quarter, it was a dollar to play the pinball machines but these angels kept the Temple of Doom machine at 20 at a quarter. I won a token. So I was there for a while playing that one. Okay. So how much did you spend when you were walking out of there? Yeah I guess that's a good point. How much did you spend? Probably about $10 on the video games and I bought I

Bought maybe three comics. Well, the $10 on the video games is pure profit, right? Because we already own the machines. Yeah. Yeah Maybe open on arcade And if we see like, you know things aren't going well, we could sell drugs out of it like they used to in the 80s. Oh, fuck yeah. That's where I step in. You think it's just a dead, don't even dream about it. I don't know. I don't want to say that. I just don't know enough about comics at this point to tell you it's a good idea or it's

not. Everything I've heard is that it's a tough business. You really got to love it and you're going to have to invest a lot in it. That stock to open up a brand new store, you're going to want to have it full of cool shit. That's an investment and that's a tough one but it could be cool though. Where are you thinking on the island? Well, I wasn't thinking anywhere really. I just, when I was in there, I just felt it.

What about New York for a Plaza? There's a lot of openings here. And cheap rent. Cheap rent. Yeah? Yeah. BQ's arcade. BQ's comics emporium.

I just missed it, man. I know what's going to happen because we know somebody who wants to go on Bookstore. Yeah, we do. And they need to sell in comics or sell in the rights to sit on his lap and take a photo for Christmas. I saw that. So you're going to have to spend a lot of weekends. Maybe I'll just visit revenge on when I'm in LA and call it a fucking day. I thought that was so 2020 still sitting on Santa's lap.

I think it's a cool promotion, but I think that is an indicator that maybe the comics aren't what they used to be, sales, because it's as a fucking, for people who are still collecting new comics to spend $4.99 on a comic book, it's staggering. Yeah. Would you want people to sit on your lap at all? Depends on who the person was. Yeah? Like Jimmy, you know?

Jimmy the hair guy? Well, because he's light. Jimmy and Ming on either, on both knees. I could deal with that. Yeah. Get them on the other hand. I was going to say, you've seen VOSQ fans. They don't look like Jimmy and Ming size. Favorite part of that is when he said, depends as who's sitting on my lap, where my mind went, it was very deep.

Right. Walt's never going to say, if it's a hot chick, he's going to say if it's Jimmy or Ming. What a shame, man. But you know what? Don't let me be the dream killer. As Jim Dowd once said, wives are dream killers and I'm not maybe your wife, but I also don't want to be the guy that shits on your new dream of opening a comic book store because that would be awful.

I do not want to be that person. I appreciate that. I think the beer company was enough to kill my dreams in terms of being an entrepreneur. I don't want to do this anymore. But all right. I just had that feeling again that I haven't had a long time. Like I'm amongst. You have a lot of the things.

You're already equipped to do it if you really want to do it, though. You've got the pinball machines. You can get them out of your house. Start monetizing them. You have the back stock if you have all your floppies that you have preserved. They do. They're better than the attic. Now you can sell them as BQ's Preserved Comics.

You can own one of BQ's comics. Oh yeah. Yeah. They bumped that up a little bit. Yeah. If that book is worth $5 on the normal market, it's worth fucking 10 because BQ had it. There you go. All right.

I'll sign the bag. So my signature already worth less goes down. You run this business out of your house. Yeah. Have to move the pinball machines at all or the comics, maybe a little entrance fee at the door. Yeah. Man. I just like, I think about retirement and I think about my later years and.

You know, you don't want to do nothing. You know, I mean, it's know, you don't want to do nothing, you know Kites, I mean it's revealing of something I wanted to do on a future episode of TSD, but Fuck it. It's never gonna happen because it just never never had this thing called TSD shark tank. Okay, and Me and get them Were going to pitch to you the idea of opening up a collectible store. Okay. But it would not be with new comics though. Okay. Just collectibles.

Just collectibles, anything that me and Gidham find. And to, we're going to ask for investors and we were going to open up, we're going to do it online only and with the goal of one day in five years opening up a brick and mortar store in Red Bank. Okay. To come to like, for us to like close the chapter in our books that we can't close. We can't close the book on, on, you know, this way we would go out, me and Gideon would go out the way we want to go out. On top. Yeah. We close, if the store was, if the brick and mortar store was profitable, we could stay

open but if it wasn't profitable, it was only for a year. And we cultivated, we already bought a massive collection of high-end collectible magazines like, have you ever heard of the Mile High collection? No. Well, there was this guy of the Mile High collection? No. Well, there was this guy in the 70s who Chuck... Mile High Comics? Mile High Comics, yeah, you've definitely heard of him. He stumbled upon a collection of Golden Age comic books that he got at a really great price

and he started an empire off of that called the Mile High Collection. Okay. Became Mile High Comics. an empire off of that called the Mile High Collection became Mile High Comics. Me and Gidham have stumbled upon a high-end collection of famous monster magazines. You have them? We have them in here somewhere. That's daunting. That was going to be our pitch.

We bought them and we were going to start what was called Flan and Sun Collectibles. Okay. And we were going to just, we're not gonna, it wasn't anything to do with podcasting and we were gonna start this business online only and then our goal was in a year to open up a brick and mortar store on Broad Street and go out the way we wanna go out. So you don't have any interest in that or that was never really a plan or is that

something you guys would like to do? That's something we daydream about. Daydream about. But you know, you have a, you have a different, in your head, I can see what you're thinking about. You're, you're talking about a high end store, beautiful, like a lot of, a lot of thought and aesthetics. Yes.

You know, I'm, I'm, I don't need all that. Yeah. A lot of thought and aesthetics. Yes. I don't need all that. I'm all about just flipping it immediately. I don't care if the walls look like they got holes in them. Well, those are like comic book stories that I grew up in. I'm all about flipping it immediately. I'm not about like, you know. Fostering a community.

Yeah, and being like, oh, let's watch this movie together. Oh, what'd you get? Oh, we see your you always see your high score buddy oh man you could beat that stay another three hours try to beat that high score like you want it buy it Yeah, we even have a logo made. Really? Yeah. I'll show it to you. You got another ad to read? Yeah, sure.

I can finish one more. Why can't you do that online? Why can't you just start the online thing? We want it to, but we need capital though. We need some capital. To run an online thing? We need the money to buy the merchandise. We need the money to find the cool shit that like.

But you already bought shit. Right, but we need more than that to like, to get to where we gotta get to where we're able now to open up a store. We need capital to go out and buy merchandise that we could flip for huge profits. I need $10,000 from each of you. Me and Brian? Yeah, if you guys want to buy in to the business.

And then we'll take that 20 and then we'll buy all this merchandise, we'll flip it, and then by year's end we'll give you, I think it was 2.5% on your investment. Okay, by the end of the first year. By the end of the first year? By the end of the first year. So $150? Wait, $250. Yeah. Yeah. By the first year. Well, plus your initial investment back too though.

Oh, really? Wow. Oh, you guys think you'll make like $20,500? Yeah. Wow. What about paying you guys? What about it? Well, you got to make more. You think you're going to make close to six figures just selling old monster magazines? Well, that's why we have the 20 grand to buy other shit.

Yeah. We have these monster magazines are like they go for big bucks. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. Yeah. They go for- Not familiar with the market. This is a, it's a very nice collection they bought.

Yeah. Is it buried in the, I mean- Not a trade off. I'm assuming that rat's a chicken at this point in that room. Yeah. When are you guys, when are you guys going to tackle that? I told my employee- I thought over the Christmas break.

You know, the employee that we all pay to be an employee. I told them to clean it up. I don't know what more I'm. Oh, you know, he gave you the finger and went to a party. You probably got to be a little bit more hands on than that, bro. Are there any ants out there that want to fucking get paid to come in here and be, get them some manager for a cleanup process? I'll pay. I'll pay out of my pocket to get. to come in here and be get him some manager for a cleanup process. So now we're going to pay somebody else? I'll pay. I'll pay out of my pocket to get-

Rather than just you taking on as the guy that- Absolutely. Why? Yeah. Because, man. Why? It's not my deal. Why is it not your deal? Because I'm too busy. I'm not sitting around here all day in a fucking mess like that guy

is. Well, you don't have to stay here, but if you make it your- You walk around the office, you make a list, you're like, here's your list. Here's what I want to see the next time I come in. Oh, that I'll be willing to do. Yeah, you just got to- Oh, that I could do. You want me to do that? Please tell me-

You want me to give him specific instructions? But please tell me you'll rip him a new asshole before you give him the list though, because then I want you to tell me every detail of it too. Well, I would do that on air. I think we all want to hear that. I would sit down with him on air and give him a list of things and be like, I would like this accomplished by the end of the month. Okay.

What happens if he doesn't accomplish it? Nothing. Nothing at all. What are we going to do? Throw him to the wolves? We're stuck with this fucking guy. Son of a bitch. All right.

black and white version of it. Yeah, that's pretty great. That's pretty great. Oh, that is cool. Yeah. That is cool. But that was our logo and we were, you know, and our goal, like I said, was like we daydream

about, you know, going back into Red Bank as conquering heroes and then goal, like I said, was like we daydream about going back into Red Bank as conquering heroes. Then when we find it's time, it's time to close the doors on our terms. Right. Wow. Yeah. I like that you're already planning to shutter the business at some point. It's really about-

In your face? No, no. It's really about just going out the way we want to go out rather than on our terms. And ushered out. Yeah. All right. One last.

I can respect that quite a bit actually. We, we just, we, we become the kings of Red Bank again. Like we were. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you have the monster, why don't you start with the monster magazines? Well, we, well, you know, I was waiting to do this TSD shark tank thing because Frank had a business opportunity he got he was gonna pitch to you guys that for an investment both of

you and Tom had one. Okay so you don't want to do this anymore? I still want to do it but it's hard to do with it's hard to do with you. I can get you a date in December if you want to do it. Because the problem is when we do this podcast, it's usually like what day we want to do this week and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's easy. And other people have commitments and stuff. Yeah. I don't know.

We got to pick on me. Hey, I'll schedule months in advance if you want. Let's do it. So I went, so to what you were just saying about ordering on Grubhub or whatnot, there's this old Italian deli on Staten Island. It's been there for like 50, 60 years and the guys who work behind the counter are these fucking old Italian men. They always got one of their granddaughters running the rest. there my whole life. And you walk in, they got the horns on the fucker. You still buy Italian flags like you walk in. It's like, it feels like an old school Italian deli. All these years, they make the best fucking sandwiches so fucking good. And

they went on Grubhub not too recently. So I started ordering them on Grubhub. But two years I've been on Grubhub. And the other day I was like, man, you know, I fucking miss going to that shop. I was like, I used to love going in there. I felt like I was like, so I'm going to go down. It's not even that far. It's 10 minutes from my house. I was like, let me go down and just order the sandwich today. I wasn't trying to prove a point. I was like, I just haven't seen the place. And I went in, man, and it was, it hadn't changed. They were all talking, and then my mom's cousin, who's 80 years old, came in.

I hadn't seen him in 15 years. Angelo, what's going on? Started talking to him, but I ended up spending like a half hour there. Went home and ate my sandwich, and I was like, fuck, that felt good. Like, it felt like, maybe this is what I was running into with the comic job.

What you're missing in your life is- Socializing. Well, rubbing elbows with the common man. You got to let yourself get your elbows get dirty. Well, my argument would be like, I think we're all missing that. I think we're all missing that thing of the neighborhood store and going in and buying, how are you doing today? You know, like when you used to go to Franny's every day.

Well, he's saying he's a hermit. Right. Right. Well, look, a lot of people are doing it. Grubhub is very successful. You know what I mean? I think a lot of people do it. I remember when I was a kid, we would order pizza, then drive to the pizzeria, pick it up and come back because my dad didn't want to pay the $2 delivery.

I don't ever order off of this Grubhub or- Or Dordoch. You just call the place? I just go and get in the car and go get it or take the dogs and- But even Amazon. Amazon, that's something. Yeah, my wife does Amazon. Yeah. So to me, I was like, I think I want to make a concentrated effort to start going to stores. Oh, I love this.

And just, I'm not looking at it as like I'm on TV and I want to be around the people. I'm looking for like, this is missing from my life. Like this community, this feeling of a community, you know? So I went and I've been doing it lately and it's been fucking, it's been fun. The reaction to this is going to be amazing. It's just like, BQ is so far removed. I don't think so. He's like, I need to connect with my neighbors.

I don't think so. I don't think that's going to be the reaction. I think people are going to be like, yeah, I order shit on Amazon. I order shit on Google. It's really weird. Q wouldn't leave me alone. I saw him in the grocery store and he was like, hey, you can just buy anything you want here.

Then bring it home and eat it. I had to wait in line to buy these groceries just like you. This is so awesome. I didn't say groceries. I'm not doing groceries. The line's too long. Fuck that. No.

I don't know, man. I think a lot of people, think this this might resonate with people They might be like shit. I should go more. I should stop ordering stuff on the alfama I let me go to mama pop. I will I what do you think the reaction? Sounds like somebody who's so I don't think so. I don't think so, man. Bigger fucking indication of how out of touch you are. You're like, I'm going to go start going back to telecontestants.

I'm going to go get a sandwich. Then I saw a guy. I saw a relative of mine who hadn't seen in 15 years. Mostly because I'm holed up in my mansion. Another way of saying is false. But that is not, I don't think that that's the takeaway from this. I don't. Because I would say that I'm out of touch.

I wouldn't argue that I'm not out of touch. So I'm not trying to defend myself. But I'm not so far out of touch that I'm not like people get Amazon deliveries constantly. They do. People don't go to stores to buy like shit anymore. Not as much as they used to. Not as much as they used to. But there are still some of us out there that sure are willing to.

What I'm saying is I think you guys are right. I don't think it was right or wrong. But I think the this the brick and mortar stores would appreciate you not ordering off of Amazon. Where are you going to go? You want to buy a DVD. Now where are you going? Best Buy doesn't sell them anymore.

Best Buy just doesn't sell them. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's different, I guess, because you can't go anywhere. Right. It's fucked up. Yeah. But- Well, you find a specialty store.. Right. It's fucked up. Yeah. But- Well, you find a specialty store.

You spend all day looking for it. Yeah. This is sounding not so great after all. I was supposed to talk about the sandwich. Yeah. All right. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong.

I know what you're talking about though. There was a time when I lived in Highlands and we would get pizza from Francesco's and you would call and they'd be like, oh, is this Johnson's? And they would just recognize your voice. And there was something about that. You say that sense of community where it's like, not that you're an insider, but you're like, you're part of something. You're part of the community.

I'd go to the same pizza parlor every day, every morning without fail. Yeah. Do you feel connected? No, not at all. I fucking saved the fucking Plaza and they fucking didn't even give me a free Coke. That's true. I forgot about the mini volcano. So it's not just on us.

I mean, maybe the proprietors, maybe, maybe the people who run the stores have to make sure that they reach out with a friendly hand if they want that community feeling that vibe. They've got to do a little bit of it as well. Give me a discount for coming in. Yeah, why not? Every day without fail. Every once in a while, all this one's on us, buddy. Yeah, that's what it is.

Amazon will never do that. No. Well, yeah. They might. They might. If you pretended it didn't come. But even that, how often have we taken advantage of Amazon's liberal fucking policy on returns? A return, oh my God.

Like all the fucking time. My wife is constantly at Kohl's or the UPS store returning shit that she didn't want. And like we didn't do that. I don't know, I just, I don't know. Maybe I'm just going through something because with the complex store, the revenge of thing, where I was like, I miss this, like being amongst this.

Well then you gotta do it then. Then you gotta, if you want that, then you should make it happen then. What do you need from, you need something from me? Well, no, I mean, what I need more than anything is time. So I guess, you know, we're a couple of years off from it, but. And you wanna be there.

I would love to be there. I don't think I, I can't right now is the thing. Like I don't have time for anything, but like it would be nice to have a place that's almost like a clubhouse that's ours. You probably would want it on Staten Island though then. Yeah, I'd probably want it on Staten Island. Yeah. I'm out.

Maybe at Port Plaza. What about at Port Plaza? At Port Plaza, yeah, you'd have two people that would Well, you know what? Yeah, I can't be there all the time You're gonna need something to man and register unless you're gonna close down for maybe hire someone else You know get him has proven himself to be You know not that great at inventory control or customer service or knowledge of comic books.

Okay. Maybe you poach a Sunday, Jeff. Oh, that would be cool. Well, well, well. He only wants to work one day a week though. I'd have to outpay his other job. Yeah, you got to outpay his real job. 401k, insurance.

All of a sudden you need a lot more pinball machines. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Many more quarters. job, 401k, insurance. All of a sudden, you need a lot more pinball machines. Yeah, yeah. Many more quarters. All of a sudden, you're posing for a lot more pictures. So many people sitting on my lap. Yeah, I guess. Think about this, if we do the Flan and Sun collectibles and we open up that location in Red Bank, that could be the clubhouse, but it's far from you though.

It's not really your clubhouse. Yeah, it's not that distant so much as like if you just said you don't care about the peeling walls and stuff like that. That's not really what I want. You want a nicer aesthetic? Well, I mean, you know, a can of paint isn't that much money, Walt. You're talking about peeling walls of paint and stuff like that. I didn't really mean – I mean, but like – I didn't really literally mean peeling

walls. But you know, I'm not – you could stick a whole hell of a lot of money into that place, but it doesn't mean jack shit in terms of like are people going to buy the merch. The merch has got to be something people want that to me is paramount that has to be the biggest in like thing that we tackle is like do we have the shit people want right it's a lot to think about here I guess you know we could have a podcast section of the store or so maybe a little shared universe section in the back little studio oh yeah right that's what it means a fucking fourth studio close one of his other ones yeah or make it really nice so he closes all the other ones and this is his only his only venue yeah i mean it just sounds doesn't it sound nice

so you want oh that is not a bad idea though if you try to woo him to, he hasn't got no money man. We were just speculating how to fuck he even fucking survive. Yeah. Right? I mean, now all of a sudden we're like, hey, we want you to pony up rent for our clubhouse. Which we'll rarely be at. Well, he could be at here all the time if he had a studio in the back. Yeah.

But you know, his ass ain't going to be there. No. He's on the road. He's on the road constantly. Yeah. There's only one man for the job who never leaves. I can't, I can't in good conscience hire that guy. You already have.

I know, but it's different. Give him another job. Yeah. It's different because like I would need money to come in. Um. What do you mean? Like you don't want to be operating out of loss. Yeah, you need an employee who's going to want to make the shop look as good as possible, who's going to want to be pleasant and upsell and suggest to people and have these conversations

with people. Oh, you want that level of fucking customer service where you're like we're suggesting shit to people. Walt's like, I'm out. I mean, like we're suggesting shit to people. Walt's like, I'm out. I'm out again. It doesn't sound like too much. Oh, you like Superman? Do you ever read All-Star Superman? It's fucking awesome. We just got the slipcase version in. Like, check this out. How about if I say with a smile, hey, there's our Superman section. Go to town, buddy.

Okay. I'll take that from you. And then he's like, well, what are you like? I got to go to lunch. I'll catch you later. Get him. Candleless customer. I don't think so, man. I don't think so. I, I have an inside pizza.

How get them operates. You go in that back room and it's a fucking, it's a nightmare. You can't hire that guy. Yeah, that's, that's beyond hoarding back there, man. He has a lot of shit. I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to how this plays out. I love, you know, I want to see how you guys handle the situation. I am so excited for this.

I'm looking back and I'm like, even if we just buy shelves for him to put shit on. Yeah, spend more money on a problem. Go ahead. Yeah, then he's going to fill up the shelf and then he's going to put shit in front of the shelf. You're right. Just throw money at it. It always works. It's not even like, all right, to describe it to everybody listening, it's not even like you go back there in a mess. It's like snow drifts that start high against the wall and then just come down into the middle of the room and it's bottles of water, it's crumbled up paper, it's fucking boxes. There's no rhyme or reason to any of it. It's just snow

drifts of- Yeah, there's like all these old style Coke glasses in there and- You're like, how does this fucking operate? And we have that whole costume room back there. You can't even get to it. We haven't needed a costume in a while. Thankfully. Yeah. Yeah.

Break your neck getting in there. Yeah. All right. I'm going to... We're going to have to ride Gettem's ass because we can't expect Walt to do it. No, we can't. We can't expect Walt to do it. Why can't we expect Walt to do it?

Walt does too much already. He's out. He's out for the third time. I'm probably because of the fucking other thousand things I'm doing. He doesn't need that on his foot. So we could come in and be the heavies. Yeah, we could come in and be. All right. Okay.

We're here Sunday. We're here Sunday. Yep. Yeah. I'll make a list. Well, I'll start making my list of what he needs to improve. You're here Sunday? Yeah.

Yeah. We got to record something with Jiggy. Remember that thing I actually asked you. What time? What time? One o'clock you said. Yeah. One o okay. What time? One o'clock he said. Yeah, one o'clock. Okay.

Is that right? Uh, yeah. I was going to watch the lions here, but that's okay. You could do it at four? No, can't do it at four. Can't do it at four. Um, but we could move that out into there so you can watch it over there. Sure.

Yeah. Oh yeah, that'll work. I can move it into the hall even. Great. So yeah. And it'll be an hour. Okay. Yeah. All right. That'll work. Yeah. Yeah. I can move it into the hall even. Great. So yeah. And it'll be an hour. Okay. Yeah.

All right. Did you tell him? Who? Get him? Yeah. Why do I gotta tell him? Okay. Yeah.

I don't know if you want the room prepped or anything. You think he'll prep it? Prep this one? Yeah. Really? Get it today. Oh, well I'll just tell him to leave it like this. Okay.

He doesn't have to. Yeah, as long as we leave this setup. He might not, like he would. I'll text him. He might. Okay. Yeah. I'll text him. Good, good thought we leave this in. He might not, but like he won't. I'll text him. Okay. Yeah, I'll text him. Good thought. I didn't know. See, this is, I'm learning. Maybe I judged too harshly. Get him.

I don't think so, but. Yeah, I'll just tell him to leave this as is. Okay. 24 hours. Black Friday. Let's talk about it again. Yeah, you want to rub some elbows, Q? Yo, if you want to rub elbows with the common man. Of course. Black Friday. Let's talk about it again. You want to rub some elbows, Q? I do.

You want to rub elbows with the common man. Wait, what day is that? The day for Thanksgiving. Yeah. I'm in Florida. Oh, but I'm flying home that day. So, yes. So, come Saturday.

I'm flying home Friday. So, I'll come Friday. Okay. Or Saturday. I'll come. I'll be here. Come both days. Well, I'm flying.

I got to fly. I got to land. I got to feed the cats be here. Come both days. Well, I'm flying. You know, I gotta fly, I gotta land. I gotta, you know, feed the cats and then come down. Okay. So people can sit on my lap. And we'll be here, well, you and I will be here. I'll say that. All the girls will be lined up. And Thursday night we'll be here at 11?

11. 11, 11 to 1. Yeah, 11 to 1-ish, unless it's so busy, we need to stay open later to 1. Right. Okay. And then the next day on Saturday, we'll be here at 11, 11 to 6. Wait, what's Friday? On Friday. Black Friday. Black Friday. Oh, closing at 6. Yeah. Right. I might have to come Saturday then. I don't know when my flight lands. Okay. But I'll be here one of the days.

All right. Yeah, can't wait. What are you doing for Thanksgiving, Will? Nothing special, just at home with the family. Yeah. I'm cooking a turkey again this year. Nice. I got one of those like, it's like a radiated, radiating heat.

Like it looks like a deep fryer, but it doesn't have oil. It just uses propane. Okay. You know, like the turkey deep fryers where people constantly like they dip the turkey in and it explodes into flames. It's like that, except it doesn't have oil. It just has propane. So it's just like, there's no like forced air or anything. It's just like it radiates off. Like it's like this barrel that you put it in almost. So we got like 15 people coming over. Whoa.

Yeah. Who the fuck got all the Johnson's got a Eric. He's coming with his stepson got a, my nephew bringing his girl and possibly her mother. Whoa. So yeah, it's, and we only have like 12 or our table only fits 12 people. So we're going to have to have the kids table. Oh, we have to decide who to put there. Like Sage, obviously we'll go to the kids table.

Darren. Darren will go there. Just for the age, because you want to see him get annoyed by it. Yeah. And I'll have to think of one other person. I'll separate a couple. Maybe I'll put my nephew there too. You can have that kitten.

That's going to be a big showstopper, that kitten. Everybody's going to love that kitten. I'll put my nephew there too. You can have that kitten. That's going to be a big showstopper, that kitten. Everybody's going to love that kitten. Yeah, she's very friendly too, so she'll come up to people. Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah, that kitten is cool, man.

I'm going, in retrospect, because I was like, ah, like I was telling Walt, I felt like we had the perfect pet balance, you know? The dog is great, the cats are great, and we're going to throw this kitten into the mix. I'm not sure how it's going to work out, but totally worked out. It's pet balance. You know, like the dog is great. The cats are great. Like we're going to throw this kitten into the mix. I'm not sure how it's going to work out, but totally worked out. It's fine. The cat's like. Same thing with wars. I was like, I'm not a want a kitten.

Yeah. And then you're like, what the fuck was I thinking? Yeah, why didn't I? Why would I want a kitten? Yeah, this cat's the best. Yeah. Yeah. I think I was telling Walt, I was like, just imagine like you're first, you're in a cage,

then somebody puts you in a cardboard box. A couple, like a half hour later, you're in a home and there's cats around, there's a dog there, and you're so comfortable that within two hours you're taking a nap, just lying there, not caring about anything. It's like she acclimated so well, I was really happy. I love that. That's great. Good for you, man. Yeah. Yeah, I'm happy we got her. She love that. That's great. Good for you, man. Yeah. I'm happy we got her. She's cool.

A little sassy. A little sassy. Yep. And also the other bit of news is we recorded the Christmas pod. Yes, we did. It is in the can, as they say, right, Walt? It is. And that will be coming out on Black Friday night.

It certainly should. Should. Should. I mean, I haven't touched it yet. Black Friday night? It certainly should. I mean, I haven't touched it yet. Haven't gotten it back from Declan, but going to start cutting it possibly tomorrow. And, uh, the goal is to have it ready for Black Friday. Okay. Nice.

And it's a long one. Well, that'll be Thanksgiving at a Thanksgiving evening at 1159. At 1159, right. Should drop on bandcamp. Some gut busting laughs in this one. There's some really good stuff in it. Thanksgiving evening at 1159. At 1159, right. Should drop on Bandcamp. Some gut busting laughs in this one. There's some really good stuff in it. It's the fullest house of all, I think, ever.

Yeah. Everybody came out in droves for the cause, a great cause, and everybody was on top of their game and wanting to help the Juarez family and hopefully everyone enjoys it because it was a good time. I think everybody will enjoy it. There's a lot of fun stuff in it. There is, and you guys correct me if I'm wrong, but there's a Bing Chen moment in this episode that I think instantly goes into top 10 Tell'em Steve Dave moments over the entire run. Yeah, it was pretty good.

I think something legendary happened on this. I think it's going to be a fucking – I couldn't believe what was unfolding as I watched it. I've thought about it every day since it happened. I can't fucking wait for this to be out in the world. After we recorded it was the first thing I told Mary Beth when we got home. I was like, it was pretty funny. This is what happened. Yeah, it's fucking great. Yeah, I mean, yeah. So it's almost like for me, the thing I remember most about the day is so crystal clear, everything that was said and done. It's great. And for those who are wondering if there will be any Christmas content on Patreon, there

will be. There's going to be an all-new Sunday Jeff show Christmas special and a Bride Tries Christmas special. And I think that's it for the Christmas content, but there will be Christmas content on Patreon as well in December. So this is your one stop, well, not one stop, two stop shop for Christmas. Tell them Steve, Dave, Christmas joy. Yeah.

All right. Do you go down to Florida for Thanksgiving then? Yeah, my parents are down there now, so I got to go and see them. All right. You know, they're getting older. I hear you, man. I got to go, uh, I visit Edgar now on Fridays. Every, he got on Fridays. He got sick. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but yeah, every Friday I've been driving Sage to her mother's house because she

likes to stay there on the weekends and visiting Edgar and talking to him and hanging out a little bit. Crazy, isn't it? Though he can't hear shit. He can't? No, he's like, he's deaf from all those years of being a contractor and not wearing any hearing protection. So it's like, I have to shout to him. How do you feel your relationship with your dad is these days? I think it's decent. Yeah. Yeah. It's gotten better over the years. Right. He mellowed out. I mellowed out. We realized we can't fist fight anymore. We're both too old.

It's funny because the last one wasn't that long ago. It's true. Yeah, it's an interesting thing I'm having with my parents, where it's like, I guess they get older how these new facets of our relationship are developing. It's depressing, and fascinating, and weird. It's crazy. Yeah. It's hard to do that with Pam because Pam is certain she's going to live till she's 100, which is another 22 years. I don't even know if I'm going to live another 22 years. Yeah, that's a tall order. Yeah. How old will you be in 22? Oh, you should.

6'6", 6'6", yeah, I'll be 78 in 22 years. Yeah. I think you'll make that. I hope you make that. Yeah, me too. Yeah. Put it that way. If my dad's about to be 79 and that's a guy who has not taken care of himself a whit his entire life. You know what I mean? This is modern medicine, keeping that man going. So hopefully by the time we're there, like it'll be, we'll have the life sustaining things to keep us going. I don't know what I'll do today.

When I go visit, I'll play that Mike Tyson thing for him. The video? Yeah, the video of the legacy video where it's like, you're just going to be dust and it's all going to mean shit. That'll make me feel Can't wait to see you next Friday. Tell him Steve, Dave.
