Starting point is 00:00:00 She's so famous because she fucking spit on a dick. Fuck her. Yeah, I'll bet you there are some like that. Scratch your eyes out. There are definitely some. Yeah. Wait a second, we jettisoned a fucking man-child for what reason? Because he ate some pork? He won't pick up. Fucking eggheads, go home.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Right, fuck off, we don't need you. Future leaders of America, we don't need you. Keep your fucking nose buried in that book. That's it. That's all. That's all. Tell them Steve, Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of tell them Steve, Dave. What a full house I have today.
Starting point is 00:01:13 I got BQ. Yeah. Yo. Got Brian Rupert. Hello. How's everybody doing? Of course. Get him the silent producer in the wings.
Starting point is 00:01:23 He's got two backup recorders going so that no, no file has ever lost again. Double fist and recorders. I like it. I appreciate the gumption. He's trying to show us something. Me and you, since we're taking over for him for 20, 25. I like it. I already like what I'm seeing.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah. He got that picture I sent you though. Right? Of him dead asleep. Yeah, dead asleep. Yeah, I did. On Black Friday. I, uh, it was, I, I liked to, when I saw it, I was like, he, he must've been up for 24
Starting point is 00:01:49 hours at that point. Yeah. So. He deserved a little rest. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Thanksgiving, uh, Black Friday went well.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Yeah, it was cool. A lot of people showed up. It's a great tradition too. And it was awesome to see so many people come from so far away. So many people from Michigan. It's Michigan and Canada. That was a lot of people from Canada. That's where our hotspots are, Q.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Really? Michigan has a big pocket of TSD listeners in Canada. Michigan's a great, great neck of the woods. Yeah. And who doesn't love Canada? I can't, I mean, they're the nicest people on the planet. Canadians. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, so he's, I heard Friday was pretty busy the planet. Canadians. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah. So I heard Friday was pretty busy. It was busy all weekend. It was nice. Yeah. It's a tradition that I hope we can continue for many, many years.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It's just nice. Brings everybody together. People are having a good time. Well, not everybody. I couldn't make it. Yeah, that's true. There were a couple of disappointed people. I did tweet out that I couldn't make it. Oh, did you? Yeah There were a couple disappointed people. I did tweet out that I couldn't make it.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Oh, did you? Yeah, I don't... Yeah, we let people know here as soon as we... That's a bummer. I'm sorry to miss it. What are you going to do? You're a busy man. It's been... So busy you can't return texts. It's been busy lately.
Starting point is 00:02:57 You took it on the chin last week because you didn't return my text. It's okay, man. I texted you yesterday. Yeah, you texted me yesterday, but I texted you the week before. It wasn't before you went to Vegas. Oh, okay. I texted you and I said, Hey, I know you're going to Vegas but I texted you the week before you went to Vegas. Oh, okay. I texted you and I said, hey, I know you're going to Vegas at the end of the week. Do you have any good days this week? And then you never answered.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Oh. I want you to answer by day two. I prayed that you wouldn't answer so that I could go after you. Gotcha. No, you're right. You're right. All right. Well, I'm back.
Starting point is 00:03:20 All right. That's all that matters. I'm back, baby. He's back in the saddle. We were talking earlier before the mics went hot cue, our girl Hawk Tu is in some trouble. What? Yeah. This is the quickest arc.
Starting point is 00:03:30 It may be over for Hawk Tu. Oh, no. What happened? What'd she do? She got into the crypto game. Yeah. She sold a meme coin. It was like dollar sign hawk.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I mean, the president of the United States does that that so how is that a problem for a podcaster? Well when you own most of the crypto, I guess is the way when right Rupert She owned most of it her company her company. They owned 97% of the coin They got the value up and they rug pulled 2 million out from people and tank the coin So what was the highest the coin was valued? I don't know what it was, but I know they profited 2 million and they tank the coin. It's valueless. Well, they said there was a zero.
Starting point is 00:04:09 It's like, yeah. Like if you look at the chart, it's like a full dip. Right. They said it like it capped out at 500 million. That was like when it first opened, it was, they were saying it was worth 500 million in 20 minutes, it went down to 30 million. But, but I mean, this is where it was. This is what's difficult because it's hard to understand crypto.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah. All I heard was Bitcoin is 100 grand now. 100 grand now, yeah. I remember years ago, a crew member on Joker's, when it was $1,000, was like, I'm putting all my money into this, you should too. I was like, I don't know what this is. I'm not doing it. Right. I know he's out there right now with many, many big, he's got to be worth like 20 million now off of he was a crew member, whatever we were paying him. He was just all in on it. So I, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:54 and I like the guy, so I hope he's doing well and making a lot of money, but I don't understand it. Listen to some of these sad tweets that Haley Hawk toy is getting. Haley, I just purchased $35,000 of some – What? Money Hawk, is that what it's called? It's like dollar sign hawk. Yeah, dollar sign hawk.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And it's now $2,000 after 10 minutes of me buying it. I was a huge fan of Hawk Tuah, but you took my life savings. I was excited about this and spent my life savings and my children's college education fund as well. Why are you putting your children's college fund into Hawk2's blowjob bitcoin? I don't know about that. How did you make that money to begin with? Shouldn't she have her children taken away? I don't know why you assume it's a girl. I can't imagine – it's got to be a guy, right?
Starting point is 00:05:45 It's probably a guy. Because girls are not probably in the Hawk Tooth, I don't think. I don't know, man. That is weird. I think probably young girls are in the Hawk Tooth, a girl like a very young generation. Probably doesn't have the money to spend. You don't think girls are in caddy and are like, oh, she's so famous because she fucking spit on a dick?
Starting point is 00:06:00 Fuck her. Yeah, I'll bet you there are some like that. Scratch your eyes out. Wow. There are definitely some girls like that for sure, but I think like, I can't imagine her main audience is young males, right? You can't? No, I wouldn't think so. Because she said one thing about spitting on a cock, and then if you watch that podcast,
Starting point is 00:06:19 I don't know whose attention she's holding. I thought she was. I mean, I thought she was. She does have A-listers though. She's got like Mark Cuban on there. Really? Yeah. It's nuts. What is the current value of Hawkcoin?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Uh, I have a chart. It is currently at 0.004176 as of this like chart. And what was the highest it was? The highest it was was, uh- Remember those mini Prussian Kissing Devil skulls? They're worth more now than the Hoctoling Court. We sold them, you sold them, you moved them all! It took many a year.
Starting point is 00:06:55 0.025, so it was like 2.5 cents at the top value. I mean... But there's millions. Which sounds like nothing. So that at the top value. I mean, but there's, there's millions. Nothing. So that's the thing. It sounds like nothing. Like, oh, I could invest, you know, a quarter of a cent into some Hawk tua, you know, I'll buy a hundred dollars worth and see how it goes. Not I'm going to sink every time.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Like you said, well, it's probably, it can't be real. Like what idiot would do that? But she is, she's got a whole bunch of lawyers after her now and it's not looking good. A lot of people think she may go to jail over this. Wow. I thought the egg on her face was going to be limited to – did you see she did a quick promo for the Atlanta Hawks? She had like a Hawks jersey on and she was like, let's go Hawks.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I guess she was trying to like somehow integrate herself with the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks. They just tweeted, we good. Did you see her dancing though? Yeah. Oh, her like, yeah, that spastic dance. It's like Elaine Bennis on crack. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:58 What was her name? Julia Louis-Dreyfus. What was her real name in the show? In Seinfeld, Elaine Bennis. Oh, okay. I thought What was her real name in the show? In Seinfeld, Elaine Bennis. Oh, okay. I thought that was her real name. It's like Dante and Randall. I don't realize if Ryan O'Halleran is in.
Starting point is 00:08:14 You always call him Dante. How hard is it to start your own coin thing? I think you guys could start like Tom's Denial. We're not doing that. I've had people contact me if they want to do it. I was like, no. You could make millions. We good, I said. Millions Tom's. We're not doing that. I've had people contact me if they want to do it. I was like, no. You could make millions. We good, I said.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Millions of them. We good. All we have to do is rip off the loyal audience. Yeah, the people who have stuck with us all these 15 years be like, now it's time to cash in. No, we good. That's not. Look, the little mini Kissing Devil skull, you know, say what you will about it.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It's still a good product at a good price. You know, it was a collectible. Yeah. We never said it was going to send your kids to college. Exactly. Like, you know, you don't, you know, buy it if you want, don't put the coin stuff. Like, you know, I, yeah, we can't get into that. Do you have any crypto?
Starting point is 00:09:01 If I do, it's, it's what Brian said. A hundred bucks or whatever it was. Yeah. Like I'm not all in on crypto. I have a little bit coin. Yeah, I have SafeMoon which tanked. I got in early and bottomed out. I just take my money and I give it to Charles Schwab or someone. Yeah, and I watch it grow year after year. That's my plan. Wow. Yeah. So, how was your Thanksgiving anyway, Q? You went down to Florida.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I saw you possibly battling an alligator through a fence. I love those. No, there was no fence? There was no fence? I thought there was a fence between us. Zero fence. There's no fence between me and my gator buddies. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:09:41 You actually had to wrestle a gator? No, no, no. Where my parents live on the golf courses, alligators live in the thing. So every once in a while, a monster will crawl out and just sun itself. I was going for a walk and I saw it and I just took a picture near it. Oh, okay. I thought you had to get it off your parents' property. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:10:00 No, not like that. Like a wrestling gator. No, no. You ripped your shirt off and you started wrestling. No, this is a long one. That was a big one. He was like eight feet, man. He was a big gator.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But also, there was no fence, but I was also, you can't tell in that photo, I was also on a hill above him and it was a steep drop. It wasn't like he could get up and get me, but there was no fence. They're quick though, man. Before you know it. They're quick. They were like families walking around and stuff like that. All I had to do was be faster than one of those and I would have been fine. I watched a show.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's called Florida Man. It's on Max. I've seen the advertisement. Right. It was about this guy. He seemed sunbaked as hell. He was really out of it. He got his arm ripped off by an alligator and spent the next three days in the swamp
Starting point is 00:10:48 just trying to get back to civilization. Like, however, the alligator twisted his arm. It must've like somehow like- Sealed it? Acted as a tourniquet. Yeah. And sealed it. So the guy's like, I mean, he looked crazy after this experience.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah. That is pretty out there, man. Yeah, but he was like, for some reason, I just wanted to go in the lake. He's going, you know, and I went swimming around and I'm from Florida, so I should know, you know, and then next thing you know, I turn around and there he is right there and they do like these reenactments and he starts screaming. Yeah, I think that if you see me going into the lake to pedigayter, like that's when you should be concerned.
Starting point is 00:11:23 That's when I'd be like looking for cute. Other than that, I'm not trying to get hurt. How hot do you have to be to, you know, on one summer day to like, I'm going to go take a dip in that pond or that lake or that river. In alligator country or like New York state? Just out in nature. How hot do you have to be to like, I'm going to go into instead of unknown water. Yeah, you're just going to go. It hasn't happened yet. And I've been pretty hot in my life. Exactly. I don't understand that mentality. I know it's
Starting point is 00:11:51 probably done every day, but I'm like, I'll just wait till I get home until I'll take a shower. I don't need to jump into a real body of water where there's living things in it. Yeah. Even a snapping turtle will take your fucking toe off. If you're lucky, it's your toe. Oh yeah, let's chop your balls right off, man. What else do I got here? Oh, Walt, you were right. I think you're right about something.
Starting point is 00:12:16 You're on the right track, but you've often said Jeff Bezos will be looked back as like Hitler. As somebody who – history won't look back on him fondly, I've said. Right. You did say he would look – they would look at him like Hitler. I think you might be right. That was a little hyperbole. I think you might be right though because I watched this documentary called Buy Now and
Starting point is 00:12:36 the environmental Holocaust that Amazon is creating. It's crazy. In what way? Like the plastics that are used. It's just like – they just go through like how basically everybody is buying shit they don't need in order to make all this stuff. Aaron Ross And to ship it. Mark Bailey And to ship it.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. It's like the … Aaron Ross Environmental Holocaust. That should be the name of the fucking documentary. That gets people's attention. Mark Bailey Not buying – anything with Holocaust. Aaron Ross Yeah. That gets eyeballs.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Mark Bailey I'm going to snap too. Yeah, but if you're interested in watching the supply chain and what it's doing to the environment, yeah, check out Buy Now on Netflix. Should Amazon put restrictions and be like, you can order it, but you need to have 10 things in a cart before we ship it. Once you order 10 things, then we'll ship it to cut down on shipping costs, shipping fuel, shipping materials. They could do something like that.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It would definitely affect them though because they're known for like, hey, you want it tomorrow? Well, now they have to kind of rethink things. If you're having a Holocaust, that's what happens when you cause a Holocaust. Well, unless somebody forces you to rethink things. Well, that's where the government should come in and be like, look, you got to – I mean, it's not happening now. I mean, now we got a government that's like, what?
Starting point is 00:13:52 Trump's not going to care about it, unfortunately. But yeah, you need the government to be like, you can't do what you're doing. I want my Christmas sweater now. I don't need it like in January when I have 10 things on my cart. Fuck you. I got to tell you. I got to tell you though, sometimes like it's like, if I order multiple things and it's like, do you want them all shipped at once? And if there's like a five day lag, I'm like, no, I want it now. Like, why would I be ordering it if I wanted in five days?
Starting point is 00:14:17 I just go to the store and get it. Yeah, it's, it's nuts. I, I think that you can do. But it's like, yeah, it's like, it's like it's moves like that times millions. Well, that's like the scam of recycling, right? Where it's just like it was created to move the onus on fixing the mess that these plastic producers are doing on us, the consumers, make us feel good about recycling when in reality most of it gets fucked up.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Covers that too. Yeah, metal gets recycled, right? Plastic is like it's a waste. They've got aluminum. I think aluminum gets recycled. Yeah, they of it gets fucking. Covers that too. Yeah, covers all that. Metal gets recycled, right? Plastic is like, it's a waste. It's like aluminum. I think aluminum gets recycled. Yeah, that gets recycled pretty well. But with plastics, recycling's a scam to make it seem like they're doing something when the answer is, you tell Coke, you tell Pepsi,
Starting point is 00:14:57 you're not fucking making any single-use plastic anymore. And that would come from a government. Why we don't have a government that does that, I don't know. No. But I'm probably at blame for it myself. No, not you. Why would we blame you? Because I'm not educated on it. Look at abuse of that single use water bottle right there.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Yeah. I mean, look at it. But my point is just like, who is this, bowl and basket? Like, they should not be allowed to sell this. I think that there's plans in the works for reducing the single-use water bottles. I mean, Jesus Christ. I don't have kids. My name's Paul. This is between you all. What happens to the planet after I'm gone doesn't really fucking matter all that much to me. But if I had kids, if I was a breeder, this would be like my number one thing would not be. I have kids. I should be concerned about this? Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Why though? What can I do about it though? If I stop buying some single use water, you think things will change? Write some letters. Write some letters. People read letters? Get active in politics. Get the right people elected. Oh, come on. Well, there you go. That's a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Wait, I got to do all that shit? And I got to ship out the picture on goods and I got to clear videos. I know I got to do all that shit? And I got to ship out the Patreon goods and I got to clear videos. I know I got Github off my docket now, but I don't know if that leaves me still enough time to write letters. Why don't you just ship everyone's Patreon goods at the end of the year? Make them wait all year and send it once. I'm sure they'll be happy with that. Let me ask you something.
Starting point is 00:16:25 While Gittem is not in the room, what if after our careful review at the start of the year, we decide that the best move for our business is to let Gittem go? Are you OK with that? Well, is it a three-person vote? Well, you said you put us in charge of him. And what if we're like, oh. Oh, so I don't have a say in it? Well, of course you always have a say.
Starting point is 00:16:49 No, no, I know. But you're like, ah, yeah, I couldn't deal with that. That would be, that would put a, is it a poll, a pale? A poll, yeah. A poll on the rest of the year as we're. The whole year? Well, the whole fucking rest of the podcast's existence will be like, so wait a second, we jettisoned a fucking man child for what reason?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Because he ate some pork? He won't pick up. I don't know if I can live with that. I still come up with like, cha-cha-cha-cha, to tell jokes. I mean, I can't stand them. I'm not going to lie to you right now. But that doesn't mean I don't want him to have somewhere to be and go where he doesn't like to be at his current state where he lives.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yeah. So far everything you describe is his problem and his fault, but yeah, yeah. Yeah, I understand it, but that'd be a heavy burden on my psyche. Okay, you gotta make it work I'm sorry you gotta make it work Functional it is you gotta make them cuz I made it work for how many years? Now you want to be like I want to get rid of them Now you want to be like, I want to get rid of them. That's your first option! You haven't even done one bit of fucking work!
Starting point is 00:18:08 That's not what I'm saying. I said if we case. If we got into it and started doing the work and came to the conclusion that it's best for them. Oh, it is in our best interest, but that's not an option! There's no doubt about it! There is no if, and no buts. I didn't know what I thought your answer was going to be, but it wasn't this. Oh, it's so funny. Yeah, all right, fine. It's like you have that uncle that's just the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I think I am that uncle. You have that family member or that sibling or that kid or whatever it is. You just can't – your kids can't wash your hands and be like, I'm Paul and what's that line again? What's this between you all? Revealing history? Do they have a room for an office coach? Make me pay for my freaking posting oils online. Do you think we could afford to get them?
Starting point is 00:19:12 If I'm bearable? Are they looking for it? They could have a better shot with that. You want to be shipped to Rhode Island? So then what is like, alright, but what about like, docking pay? Are you alright with that? the road island But what about like Docking pay are you alright with that like wits is there I am not going to
Starting point is 00:19:33 Tell you how to do it. Okay I'm not going to I'm not going to get in there and get into the nitty-gritty of how you want to proceed. Yeah Try whatever you think will work best. You've had experience. You've been the boss, so you know what needs to be done. Fire it. No. Yeah. Okay. So anything short of sacking, you're like, let's try it. Yeah. And that's kind of like an eternal get out of jail free card. I know, I realize it.
Starting point is 00:20:09 There's no fear of… Yeah, it's tough because it's like, if you don't do this, there's going to be no consequences. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's hard to tell your teenage child that and think they're going to tow the line, right? Yeah, it's almost impossible., yeah, now I'm Paul. This is all on you all.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Figure it the fuck out. Very good. I know we're getting handy personnel sheets from Tom. He's going to give us – what is that called? Review sheets. Okay, great. We're going to give us, what does that call it? Review sheets. We're going to have to start some employee files. Yeah. Get them. You're in charge of getting those files together.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Do we need a file cabinet? I think we only need a little recipe card holder. Yeah. No, I think we need like a file wherever it lives. We need one. And that file is going to be reviewed by who? You? Me and Brian. And we're going to put. Who's going to, so you're going to be reviewing your own work.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Who's filling out these files? Well, it's one of them. You're going to sit down and reread them? We'll just switch off. I read cues, he reads mine. We compare notes. I thought the same thing. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:21:23 We can't fire him. He's awful, huh? Yeah, he reads mine. We compare notes. Huh. I thought the same thing. Yeah, me too. Well, he can't fire. He's awful, huh? Yeah, he is. But we could put like- What do we do? We could put like, what do they call it work when you get like a warning, like a written- Oh, he knows.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Demerits? Yeah, like we could put like demerits in there and stuff like that at the end of the year. Like we could review- And what happens if he gets a certain amount of demerits Well, that's what we're gonna have to come up with some sort of penalty for if you hit this many demerits Yeah, this hat the way that's usually that numbers usually three So yeah, if he hits something will happen Okay, all right, okay, so we got the parameters now. We can do nothing. Now we know.
Starting point is 00:22:06 We're powerless. We can shirk off into a file. That's all we can do. We can commiserate on the phone later on. Yeah. All right. Wow. I fixed my toilet.
Starting point is 00:22:14 With? Well, it turned out that like the fill thing, like, I fixed my toilet. With? Well, it turned out that like the fill thing, like the tank wasn't filling. First thing in the fucking morning, go to the bathroom, the tanks off filling. Like if you won't, if you're going to, if something's going to break on you, want to like at least get through half the day, you know, not the first fucking thing, right? So it's not, it's not filling up. I think you're better in the daytime than you are at the nighttime, I've noticed.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah, I agree. I feel at nighttime, yeah, you tend to have kind of feel less energized. Energetic, yeah. So I think you're a morning person. Totally agree with you. Okay. Yeah, but that doesn't mean at six in the morning I want a broken toilet and be like, fuck, now what am I going to do?
Starting point is 00:23:00 You'd rather have it at midnight? I guess so, yeah. Really? I guess so. I'm going to bed? Well, I guess like- No, well, it's very bad. Don't flush a toilet. so, yeah. Really? I guess so. I'm going to bed? Well, I guess like- No, well, it's very bad.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Don't flush the toilet. Yeah, ever. See you in the morning. I'm not handy. Oh, fuck, it's the morning. I got to deal with this. I didn't deal with it last night. Yeah, shit.
Starting point is 00:23:16 So, I go to Rose. I buy like this part after I watched a video on YouTube. So, I go and I buy the part and I get the Teflon tape and I'm ready to do it. And then I'm reading some of the comments about like how it went for them. It's like, okay, let me make sure this is how you're supposed to do it. And the first comment was I just punched mine and it had started working again. And then I saw a bunch of more comments. It was like, hey, it worked for me too.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Punched it. Punched it. Yeah, punched the part. Is that a terminology or does that mean really mean punch? I think literally punch it. Cause I went into the, I went in there before I took anything apart. I went in there and I punched it and it started to fill up and then I started working after that. You must have a stuck seal or something.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Something like that. But I gave it the old Fonzarelli. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, I can't imagine that's going to be work for all your issues. It's going to work? Like any household things that pop up, I wouldn't be punching them. I'm ready to open a business.
Starting point is 00:24:10 I just rise punching them. Maybe that's how we'll fix Gettum. Yeah, right. I'll be pissed them all off and give them some body work. Some more CTE. But you know how like Japanese car companies, they start the day with workout, they make everybody like do workout and stuff like that. Like maybe like a policy of that.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Some exercise regimen? Yeah, like you know, stuff like that. Who's going to be here every day to make sure he's doing those? It's going to have to be, he's going to have to keep a log of it for us. Make him live stream it. Now you're talking. Put it on YouTube. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And you got to be careful though, because is that legal though too? I don't know. Now you're talking. All right. You can put it on YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. You got to be careful though because is that legal though too? I don't know. Is that legal to be like you have to exercise for me and send me a video of it? That does sound sketchy when you put it like that. Yeah, that is true I guess. I don't know. It might be though.
Starting point is 00:25:01 But we would just play the jury his greatest hits and they'd be like, no, we got to fucking get every reason. Innocent. Um, uh, before we get into this, this, uh, Rupert stuff, he's going to, uh, tell us how to attract a younger audience. And the way you did it Rupert was by, uh, polling your classroom, right? I asked, uh, two separate classes and I asked them to give me a list of topics that they thought were cool and things they thought were cool. Things that they would prefer to hear on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:25:36 I didn't mention podcasting. I just said I'm doing a report on things that teens find cool. All right. So… So… Pocky, you didn't want to mention podcasting. You don't want to get a trail. I don't want that. on things that teens find cool. All right. So. Pacam, you didn't want to mention podcasts and you don't want to have trails. I don't want them to.
Starting point is 00:25:49 They know you have a podcast. No, he's on a podcast. Yeah. By the way, they know, right? You think they know? Kids today. I don't know. I don't know if they've bothered to Google me.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah. Okay. I hope not. Why, I can't imagine that you have anything you'd be worried about, do you? Oh, I have a lot to be worried about. On the podcast, though? Oh, yeah. Really? You be worried about. On the podcast? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Really? You've told stories even on this podcast that could be sort of looked at sideways. Yeah, spicy and saucy sometimes. Not this episode, but. Really? I don't remember anything spicy and saucy. I'll tell you afterwards so we're not repeating it. On this podcast that I was in the room or I didn't hear it?

Starting point is 00:29:05 We've got one more, but we'll save that for later. Nice. Now tell them Steve, Dave, we're about to usher ourselves into a new era of coolness. With the kids. These are all things the kids told me were cool. How old are these? They're high school.
Starting point is 00:29:19 High school, gotcha. Yeah. 14 to 16? Between, well, I think it was like the classes that answered, it was a mix. So it was between sophomore and senior. Okay. Okay, so that is like 15 to 17. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:35 That's – that would be the prime age of what would be considered extremely. They would be in the know of what's cool and what's not cool. They're creating what's cool. These kids. Yeah, absolutely. They have their fingers on the pulse. They are the pulse. I like these buzzwords.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Is that already off to a good start? They're not on the list, but sure. What's one of the first thing they said was cool was rap music. Uh-oh, Walt. Oh, no. But you guys like it. I think you rap music. Uh oh, whoa. Oh no. But you guys like it. I think you like it. I can cover some.
Starting point is 00:30:08 You guys like it a lot. We can talk about Wu Tang and Grave Diggers over and over again. You like your Eminem. So 40-year-old hip-hop or modern? Modern. They gave me two. I asked who are the two biggest artists currently. They said Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.
Starting point is 00:30:22 I've never listened to either. Have you guys? I'm familiar with both names but never listened to either. Is Kendrick Lamar in Travis Scott. I've never listened to either. Have you guys? I'm familiar with both names but never listened to either. Is Kendrick Lamar in with one of the Kardashians? I don't think so. No, it's Lamar Odom. Okay. He's doing the Super Bowl halftime show this year I think.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I've heard both the names. I will have to verse myself. So in your opinion, Rob, how would we insert Kendrick Lamar conversations into the podcast without it feeling like we were just doing it to chase ears of the young crowd? So exactly what we're doing. Maybe you get like Sunday Jeff to read some lyrics, like a modern version of Two Life Crew One Middle-Aged Jew with Sunday Jeff to read some lyrics, like a modern version of Two Live Crew, One Middle-Aged Jew with Sunday Jeff and Kendrick Lamar.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Does Kendrick do dirty raps? I've never heard him. Is he an explicit artist or is he somebody that the whole family could listen to? I doubt if he's cool, he's someone the whole family could listen to. It's a good point. That's a really good point.
Starting point is 00:31:21 No, Travis Scott, wasn't he one of the ones that there was a stampede at his concert or something? Yeah, I think someone died. We could talk about stuff like that. Somebody died. We could talk about how, like, you know, who's this guy, Travis Scott had someone die at his concert from a trampede,
Starting point is 00:31:34 and David Cassidy in the 70s, he had someone die of a trampede as well. So we could talk about, like, you know, it's been going on since the dawn of music. And then we'll get into 70s stuff. And the who? They had a lot of trammels. Hey, what about this? What if we test Gitem with becoming very well versed in Kendrick
Starting point is 00:31:58 Lamar? Listen to the albums, absorb them, become an expert on them. He's a producer slash researcher now. Yeah, and he could speak Do people want to hear more of him or he just passes his notes on to us? Well, they might if he's speaking about cool things like Kendrick Lamar All right, so we have to talk about current rap artists. Not like Run DMC or Public Enemy or anything like that. Not the good stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Okay, no two live crew references though. That's two in the past though, right? Yeah. They were my favorite rappers though. Those I'm versed in. Luke Skywalker, right? Yeah. That was his name, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. I'm not surprised Luke Skywalker, right?
Starting point is 00:32:46 That was his name, wasn't it? I'm not surprised Lucasfilms didn't fucking go after that. He's singing about fucking girls in the ass and they're okay with him calling them that. I'm Luke Skywalker. George Lucas is kind of like, whatever. They gave me a list of sports that are cool. Oh, here you go, Walt.
Starting point is 00:33:05 We got enough footballs on there. Football, basketball, soccer, and boxing. No hockey. Hockey, not cool. We really don't talk about hockey, but we could talk about football. We talked about the boxing match. Did you watch that? Jake Paul? I did, some of it, yeah. What did you think about that?
Starting point is 00:33:22 I thought Tyson looked really okay in the in the beginning and then a Switch just got flipped and it became obvious that we were writing. That's the age exhibition fight that nobody was I think most guys have that switch. Yeah, most guys are getting in the ring and selling yeah But I think I think you're gonna equate that switch goes off even if they're walking around the mall at Christmas time Sure, but if you're going past They're going past a certain amount of stores. I get it. They're like, hey, that switch just went off. I'm going to go sit in the car.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah, but not if you're one of the greatest mall walkers of all time. You know what I mean? It might be – and he's not that – he's old. Err, 58, but he's not old, old, right? Like that's still – I thought he was going to do a better showing than he did. Matthew 20 I can almost guarantee you that probably the kids don't care or didn't even know who Mike Tyson was, right? Aaron Ross They know him more of like the legend of Mike Tyson, you know, and they're
Starting point is 00:34:18 probably more tuning in for Paul. Matthew 20 Right. Aaron Ross Yeah. Matthew 20 So we can't don't, yeah, see, that's our mistake. That's the mistake all three of us made. We didn't talk about Jake Paul at all. It's all about Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson. Well, how about this? His brother with Logan, Logan Paul is in the WWE. And he's even more popular than his brother. So I could speak about that.
Starting point is 00:34:40 You have the floor. He's great. I love him in the WWE. He came in like supposedly behind the scenes. He's a really polite, easy to work with guy and he came out as a heel and he is hated. People hate him. He comes out with this arrogant, like I'm the best YouTuber of all time type thing, but he looks like a million bucks. He takes the wrestling seriously and his matches are fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:35:09 So with Logan Paul, you have a great heel who knows what he's doing, who's bringing fresh young eyes into the WWE. And I got to tell you, he's a guy I love to hate. Love him. I think he's great for the business. Now, is it enough that we just talk about them or should we promise that we're going to get them on the show and then never really try to get them? Sure, you can promise that.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Okay. Yeah, I'm on it. You're our guest booker, so it's up to you. Yeah, I'm on it. Yeah, I'm talking to the Paul Bros. They're next. So far you've gotten Ellie. Which went over well, so I know I should do it again.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Unfortunately, the kids said the Paul Bros are uncool. Oh. I wouldn't recommend you talking about this. Why didn't you cut me off? I didn't want you rolling. I know, but in the wrong direction. We'll edit that all out. All right, thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:53 That'll all come out, so we look cool. They gave me a list of cool clothes. Like, these are things that are cool to wear. Hoodies? Are lions and braided hoodies on there? Hoodies, sweatpants. Oh, I've lived my entire adult life with sweatpants. The kid's version.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Your time has come. I'm dressed like Wal-Ran-Yow. Yeah. Sweatpants and hoodie. Look at me. Hoodie. Yeah. We're cool.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Nice. Yeah. I figured that it's going to be a pretty cool room based on what they said, the fashion they like. Hood a hoodie sweatpants Nikes Jordans Adidas and this was the thing that I didn't know there's a brand called essentials And they also said they like graphic tees Over like you get a Coles and shit, you know old old-fashioned, you know throwback tees the retro tea Yeah, we're tied all the big tees. Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:44 There's a graphic tee you can get on tell him Steve Dave comms your iTunes iconic art yeah how cool do people want to be don't spend that money on a hawk too coin okay so Paul brothers are not cool I don't know how much content there is to be mine no talking, talking about sweatpants. New drops. You've got to mention when something new comes out, like, yo, Adidas is dropping a new line of sweatpants. Do you really have to throw the yo in?
Starting point is 00:37:13 That seems like it's pandering. I want to bring the best. Yo. What's up, yo? That's how I start every class. Yo. Yo, kids, what up? It's Mr. R.
Starting point is 00:37:21 You can't wear sweatpants at Yo, kids, what up? It's Mr. R. You can't wear sweatpants in school, right, in a hoodie? Oh, I wear sweatpants and hoodie every day. Do you? Yeah. So they must think you're a cool teacher. I don't know if they think I'm cool, but I think they're like, he's a very laid-back,
Starting point is 00:37:39 easy teacher. Mm-hmm. You know? Do you teach the equivalent of the sweat hogs in your school? I never watched Welcome Back Hotter. I know it exists. That's the kind of shit we can't say. Oh yeah, I know, I know. This is our last episode.
Starting point is 00:37:50 I want to get it all out as much as possible. Are they like bad kids? Are they the kids that are kind of like behind you, April? No, it's mixed. I'm an elective teacher, so I teach art classes. So I'll have honor students and I'll have kids who are not doing so well. Because I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think.
Starting point is 00:37:59 I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don't care about what the honor students think. I don an elective teacher, so I teach art classes. So I'll have honor students and I'll have kids who are not doing so well. Because I don't care about what the honor students think. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Well, they didn't answer this. Their opinion means shit to me. I want the bad asses. I want the kids that are in school suspension who have been suspended multiple times. Like they got grounded. It's their opinion. They sit in their room and listen to us. Yeah. All right. Fucking eggheads go us. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Fucking eggheads, go home. Right. Fuck off. We don't need you. Future leaders of America, we don't need you. Keep your fucking nose buried in that book. That's it. That's all.
Starting point is 00:38:41 So, the next thing they said was cool was Avengers stuff. So basically like movies and stuff. Collecting comics is weird and uncool, but reading them online is cool. So you can read them. You just can't own any of them. Q. Hey, I went digital a while ago, so I'm, I'm hip. You gotta keep them hidden in your attic.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah. Preserved in my attic. Preserved in your attic. Preserved in my attic. Yeah. Preserved in my attic. Preserved in your attic. Preserved in my attic. Yeah. Well, so since the last time we got together, Q, in the episode you last appeared upon, you mentioned the possibility of you contemplating opening a Comfort store. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:19 And I tried to steer you out of it by saying that I would never open up a store in this climate. That's crazy. I walked out of here being like I had a silly idea. I'm a jerk. Yeah. What's wrong with me? But since that episode dropped, things have transpired personally to make me think that
Starting point is 00:39:41 that advice was absolutely wrong. That you absolutely should open up your own store because the guy I was getting my books from, my mess words from, is closing up shop in December and I'm going to be in need of a new home to write my books and boy would I love that sweet fucking deal, that Q deal. That's a 50% discount. I thought it'd be more considering all I do. I'm just going on what you gave me at the start. So I guess I guess there was room for more.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I just thought you were giving me the price. All right. Well, I mean, let's say you scratch my back, I scratch yours. Maybe you don't want to deal with Gitta. Maybe I'll take back the reins if I get a free Masterworks throw my way. All I'm saying is I'm open negotiations. Could you write down what Masterworks you're thinking about? All of them.
Starting point is 00:40:49 About two a month come out. Right, okay. You're talking about maybe $75 a year cost for both of them. Two a month? Aren't they big? Yeah, but they retail for about $125 and usually you get them, like a store would get them for like probably 45 to 50 bucks. It's a hell of a markup. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:08 But no one's buying these books though. Only the old coupons are buying them. Right. Masterworks on your cool list. I'm assuming because it's owning a book, it's automatically uncool. I'm sorry, Walt. All right. Well, not to derail that conversation, but you should think about that. I do think there is, with
Starting point is 00:41:27 your passion and your gumption, I believe you can make a story work. I think it'd be more than work. I think it'd be super successful. Oh, wow. All right. I'll walk out of here thinking differently about it. Thank you. So we can talk about superhero movies though. Yeah, you can talk about the movies, I guess. Which we have done since TSD began. We have never shied away from talking about a superhero movie. Not to spoil the list, but I think going through a lot of this, you guys are cooler than you realize.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Because you already have the fashion down. So where are the kids then? Why don't we have the listeners? Why aren't they listening to us? If we are talking about the things they enjoy, how come it's not equating to seeing those team numbers rise? Well, I could get into that. So, they told me – so I asked them, like our podcast cool.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Some things I asked them, I prompted them because I wanted to so I asked them like our podcast, cool. Some things I asked them, I prompted them because I wanted to know. And I said, our podcast, cool. They said, some podcasts are cool, but they won't listen to a whole episode. They like watching two guys argue in a YouTube short or a TikTok or Instagram short. So I think if you want to meet the teens, you have to go where they are because that's what they said they want. They won't watch a whole episode, but like they'll watch tons of clips on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram. What do you mean watch? Isn't it listening?
Starting point is 00:42:51 Well, we don't have any videos. They need a video podcast. That's basically what they were saying. But they only want it for a minute though. They want a minute of fighting on a clip and then they want to scroll and watch another clip. That really sounds like some ADD shit right there, right? I mean, yeah, that's the modern generation though. Constant one chunk bites.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I like this, but not enough to watch more than a minute of it. That doesn't seem like that would work for us though. No. And our audience that we have already. We don't want to lose them either. Well maybe what he's suggesting is that the show is recorded video and just not the whole thing is released as a video podcast, but we find- Find one or two- Where you and I are arguing
Starting point is 00:43:45 or you and Brian are arguing or whatever's going on. And then we throw those small little clips on TikTok, which I thought was getting closed down fucking by the China people. I don't know. I'm just telling you what the kids like. I mean, but you could also, a TikTok clip can also go on Instagram and YouTube. You know, the clip travels. Right. Do you do that. I Try I don't have the time usually to do it. So I tell Steve to do it and I think I make a one minute video No, I'm doing everything else with my podcast. I don't mean it in a way like like but I would think a one minute video would only Take you five minutes in I mean you have to change the aspect ratio. You have to put the text
Starting point is 00:44:24 It's kind of a bitch. So what I do is I clip the one minute thing and then I send it to Steve for him to do and then I wait around and hopefully he does it. Does Steve listen to TTSD? No, he's not going to hear me bitching. Cause you might have an argument on your hand that you guys can use for your next clip. Okay. Well, that's interesting. I don't even know how to digest that one. Trevor Burrus That sounds like you ignore that one.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Aaron Ross They said fast food is cool and they gave me some cool fast food places. Wingstop, Popeyes and KFC. Those are cool spots. We literally record right next door to a KFC. That has to count for something. That has to make, like, give us prime cool points. Should we try to just like incorporate the KFC
Starting point is 00:45:18 logo into everything we do moving forward? Or discussions of KFC. There is a Popeyes right down the street. I am a Colonel. literally a Kentucky Colonel. Yeah. Anyone's authorized to speak on. Yeah. Maybe we can dress, get them up as Popeye, the sailor man and just some sort of weird,
Starting point is 00:45:37 you know, like, why is he dressed like that? Popeyes. Like he's just chowing down on a bucket, you know? And then we put that clip out. He's got the elbows of Popeye. He looks like Pluto. I know, but most people don't realize that. You know that cue right there. There's one more.
Starting point is 00:45:57 There's a more famous Popeye than Popeye Doyle. Oh yes. Way way more popular. You just lean into that. Than the racist cop from the 70s popular. You just lean into that than the racist cop Anime dragon ball bleach one-piece attack on Titan and jiu-jitsu kaisen I only one here I know is Dragon Ball. My niece was obsessed with Attack on Titan, but I don't understand any of it.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I don't like the look of it in anime. Anime I can't get into. It's so kinetic. It's so like, like everything moves at a hyper speed. I don't like the proportions of the characters. The whole, it's just a miss with me. The voices. Yeah, I'm like, hey, whatever, man, if you love it,
Starting point is 00:46:44 I'm not here to shit on it. But I just can't get into anime. Not even the fun ones where there's like tits out and stuff running around. Yeah, tentacle sex. That's not even enough. Yeah, did they say tentacle sex was cool? They didn't mention anything about sex, thankfully. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:59 There's some great manga artwork, like intricate, beautiful, detailed, gray-washed manga art and it's just absolutely ruining you draw those fucking goofy, gigantic eyes. It just takes me out of it. I'm with you. I'm with you. And I watched Akira and I was just like, so what? I felt the same way. I was literally like, this is what everybody's going on about.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Yeah, they were. Ghosts in the shell. I was like, I don't care. But hey, man. Again, like, not everything's for me, obviously. And I'm glad it brings joy to so many people. But it's not my thing. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:40 What do we do then? I mean, maybe you can make make get him do like an anime breakdown Where he has to watch like a series and then give you guys a recap of it, okay? Yeah, we talked about it as if it's firsthand. Yeah, mm-hmm. I don't know throwing something out They said the ps5 is cool. I got one of those locked down. I could talk about that. What's your favorite part of the ps5? Well, I mean is I guess the games I guess you know I'm playing I'm playing Call of Duty. Siege? No Black Ops 6. Okay they said Siege is really cool that was on the cool list. If you went on and you
Starting point is 00:48:15 started playing with the kids like yeah like a twitch yeah that could yeah like you have a video camera on yourself as you're playing. I have the twitch the at BQ Quinn twitch channel I just don't do anything with I just got it. So, you know, I had it that could be key. Yeah, just us I'm playing Marvel Midnight Suns that video game. I have it. I haven't played it It's a lot more fun than I heard it was like corny and stuff like that, but it's like corny in a way that Like you know how everything's about deconstructing fucking comics now and stuff like that?
Starting point is 00:48:47 I hate it. This is the opposite. This is like, here's the versions of these characters that are the closest to what you think of. And as a result, they come off a little corny, you know what I mean? Because Spider-Man's always trying to like quip and shit like that. But you're like, yeah, but this is what they should be. Oh, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Spider-Man's in the Midnight Suns? Well, the game is expansive. It's not Ghost Rider, Blade, and Hannibal. It is Ghost Buster, not Ghost Rider, it is a Blade, it is Ghost Rider, but Ravi Reyes. Oh, it's Ravi Reyes in the game? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but... It's still a Ghost Rider though, right? It's still a Ghost Rider.
Starting point is 00:49:22 But they start, it's actually an Avengers Midnight Sun mashup game. Can I ask you who you, who's your Ghost Rider? I'm very curious. I can't remember who it is. Is it Danny Ketch? Danny Ketch. But I love Johnny Blaze. But my Ghost Rider, I have to say, is Danny Ketch.
Starting point is 00:49:35 You grew up on Danny? Yeah, but I love Johnny Blaze. So it's the kind of stuff that's going to make us look uncool. I mean, they said Avengers talk is cool, so. Yeah. Did you play the Guardians game? Guardians of the Galaxy game? It was fucking awesome right? I thought it was so much fun. How many hours a week do you think you spend playing video games? Well it's my thing at night that I like shut my brain off
Starting point is 00:49:54 so I probably do like an hour a night three or four nights a week. Something I do. I never play video games. Me neither. I mean there are times where I'll sit down to play an hour and I look up and it's Two in the morning and I'm like, oh shit. I've been playing for three hours How much is a PS 5 go for nowadays 500? Oh my god. Yeah, we're gonna get one to be cool Dollars for well, it was what it came out. It's probably a little lower now, but no that's anybody afford this shit How do these kids I mean I know how I for? lower now but no that's anybody afford this shit how do these kids I mean I know how I for that's lunacy though can you imagine growing up in there and you
Starting point is 00:50:30 had to ask your parents for a $500 game console well when Nintendo came out was $99 so what's that what's night what's get him do me a favor look up what $99 in 1985 85 is today Get him show me some of the Playstations they go anywhere from 375 to 600 for the pro Well, the pro is the brand new one with the super graphics. I don't think Walt needs that one. No, I don't deserve super graphics I don't think you would don't deserve super graphics? I don't think you would tell. I thought the guys worked his whole life and now you're going to get over subpar graphics. Okay, $290.43 so price has gone up. I mean the technology is now... And do you put a disc into it or is it all you just download games from your... Most people just download games. I still like getting a disc. I like having a disc but I think most people download it. And what's your, how many games do you own and what does a game run you on the PS5 now? One game.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Over a hundred. Sixty, sixty dollars. Yeah, about that. And then you could do what's called the Game Pass, where like you get like free games every month and they have like a subscription service where you could get everything for free almost. Not everything. A lot. Like yeah, like it's basically a library that you pay at.
Starting point is 00:51:45 There's a lot of gaming podcasts out there. Tons. I'm happy to talk gaming. Could we just go full on gaming? When two of the three of us don't play games. Would you play this week, Q? Yeah, probably not. No?
Starting point is 00:52:05 No. I don't think so. But we can add some more in, though. But what do people usually talk about on gaming parties? They talk about graphics? I think a lot of it is talking about, like, I mean, I like retro game talk on YouTube. It's like I watch channels where they're talking about old video games more than new stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:22 How old do we talk? What's old to you? What do you consider old? Like Super Nintendo, Sega. Okay, that's old. Like the stuff I grew up playing. I'm more interested in that than modern stuff overall. Even though I still play modern stuff. Hmm. Alright, it's something to think about, but it would be hard I think to do a whole episode just upon video games.
Starting point is 00:52:41 It sounds more like a Patreon type patreon and type and yeah like video It sounds like you need video for sure you want to put it tried a video game podcast and get him killed it Why do you kill it? He's just terrible on it? Oh, yeah, he sucked right you played blades of steel or something You just totally ruined the whole kept saying skatey quick. He was just brutal and just destroyed my love for video games Not the last episode, not the last episode. Yeah. Cause I just was like, I'm done with this. Sounds like he should be rewarded. Do you have any gaming systems? I used to have. Not used to have currently. Nintendo. You have Nintendo? Yeah. I have an I think I have an Xbox 360 sitting around maybe I can give that to him because you could still play is it
Starting point is 00:53:29 360 was the last one? Yeah no Xbox one I think was the last one right? I have I think I have an extra Xbox one sitting around. How much you think you spent on gaming consoles? I buy every one that comes out so I I over 20 grand in my life in your life. Yeah. I don't think so. No, no. Okay. Cause a new system comes out average and I know this isn't fucking exact but it's like already we had an off the comments on Reddit. I'm fucking stupid motherfucker! You know, let's say they come out every five years, you know, so every five years you drop in let's say 1200 every five years, you know, so not that. Per one, right? Do you get the size? No, no, no, that's that's Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo. Those are the three big guns. Yeah. There are no other. Well, Steam, but you could play that on a PC, which I have for work. I don't consider
Starting point is 00:54:27 that a concern. Do you have a Steam Deck? I do not. What do you mean you played it for work? No, computer I have for work. Oh, I thought you meant I go to work and play video games. No, no. The computer I have for my job has Steam on it, which turns it into a console, but I don't really play games on that.
Starting point is 00:54:43 All right. I think that's one that we could explore more though. Yeah, I think you know. More so than anime for sure. They said the Costco guys are cool. AJ and Big Justice. Those guys, those fucking corn balls. Which that showed me that I just have different sensibilities than them. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Who are they? It's these two guys. See this is where I wish Giddim could pull up the Costco guys. It's a father and son, and it's actually a whole family, right? Yeah. But the father and son, big justice, and they're like boom! Yeah. Oh, I've seen that. It's so corny.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Yeah, it's really corny. We're Costco guys! These couldn't be the degenerates of the classroom, couldn't say that this is cool. This had to be the nerds and shit I know that these were the cool kids that said it You know who the cool kids are I have eyes So, you know, there's definitely on the outside looking in I Mean look I was shocked
Starting point is 00:55:40 I was like and some things they threw out and they were messing with me I was like you guys are messing with me right and like yeah, we're messing with you this one I was like you guys can't they threw out and they were messing with me. I was like, you guys are messing with me, right? And they're like, yeah, we're messing with you. This one I was like, you guys can't be real. Like, there's no way you think they're cool. And they're like, no, they're cool. And like, I don't know. Wow. That's shocking because you're right.
Starting point is 00:55:53 It's so corny. Yeah, because it's family being really kind of doofy. Maybe it's just the success of it is what they think is cool and not them themselves. And when you say success, have they turned this into some sort of money-making venture for themselves? I think so. Well, they must make money on TikTok, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:14 And all they do is sing and dance, right? Yeah. They say boom a lot. They judge Costco food. They judge Costco food. Yeah, they go in there and get the samples, right? Yeah. So they'll go to the food court and they're like,
Starting point is 00:56:27 what's better, the double chunk chocolate cookie or the chicken bake? And they'll make people taste test them and see what's better. Maybe you couldn't have get them taste test Costco food. I gotta imagine our listeners aren't interested in if we go to Costco and say, boom. Well, definitely not if we come back and report it on audio only. Really? Yeah. They want to see that kind of shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:53 They want to see that kind of shit. Do we have a tell them Steve Dave TikTok? We don't. Well, we got to get that because we could just have get them go to KFC, walk in, eat a piece of chicken and go boom. That is fucking combining a lot of different cool things. Have put him in like a Mario shirt or something. Yeah, he's reading anime while he's eating it.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah, that's it, get him. Once a week you have to go to KFC and do a boom video. Only once. They said the impractical jokers. All right. Did you prompt them? I asked them, I said, what do you think of the impractical jokers. All right. I asked them, I asked them, I said, what do you think of the impractical jokers? They said those guys are funny as hell. You're cool.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Well, that's a big up we got here. So why aren't they watching? I mean, why aren't there's only four of us in the world and you got one of them. Again, I think you're just not where they are. You know, they're not, they don't. Did you tell them that, you know, one of them has a podcast or multiple? He probably does want his students listening to his podcast. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Smart move. Okay. But they could find it if they wanted. It's just a matter of them looking for it. Well, they already say they don't like podcasts. It has to be a short video of a podcast. They're probably not even watching whole Joker's episodes. They probably are mostly seeing clips on TikTok and stuff.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Yeah, a lot of kids see it that way. Do you find that when you go, people, kids know you more from TikTok and YouTube clips? I want to say that more, but I have heard it. They're like, me and my family watch it on YouTube, or me, we watch the clips on TikTok and stuff like that. Yeah. But I, you know, I don't normally discuss that sort of thing, but a lot of young people, it's been a lot of young people lately.
Starting point is 00:58:35 So it's got some wave, I guess, because of social media. You're right though. I have heard that TikTok is going out of biz in January. They're going to try to get it removed from the country. They did it in Argentina or Brazil or something. I can't remember. Yeah. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:58:47 I think it might've been Brazil. Yeah. They, they knocked out the whole service. Yeah. Cause they're related to China, right? So there's that whole anti-China spying. Yeah. They are.
Starting point is 00:58:59 They don't want Chinese, Chinese people getting all our pertinent information and data and shit, yeah. I asked them, they said stand up comedy and I said, what comics are funny? They said Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart. All right. You like those guys? They're not wrong. Yeah, they're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Sure, Dave Chappelle is one of the best that ever did it. And Kevin Hart's really funny. They're not afraid to say things that we probably aren't going to say. Well, Chappelle's not afraid. I think Kevin Hart has maintained code. I think he's making a lot of money in mainstream. So what do you think? Do we go Dave Chappelle or do we go Kevin Hart? I think we just maybe have standups on maybe guests. I just saw today on Twitter, people are jonesing for Joe Gatto.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Come back. We'll have Gatto come in here. Yeah, he'll come in. So we allow them to say the things that we're terrified to say. Yeah, I guess. I mean, it's an interesting thing going on in standup right now, isn't it? Because like the pendulum swinging back where they're like, no, we want to be able to say whatever the fuck we want to say.
Starting point is 01:00:12 And those guys are really going hardcore with it. I don't think we play in that area too much. So they want to dip our foot in the pool. I'm ready. Hot button topics. Why don't we just wait a little bit longer. Give me one more season. Let's put a tack in this for a year and then see how it, let's revisit it.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Me and Kevin Hart will be over here. Let's talk about sweatpants. I'll put it on the counter. They said the amazing world of Gumball. I don't know what it is. That's a cartoon. It is. You know it?
Starting point is 01:00:56 Yeah, it was on Cartoon Network. Really? I never heard of it. I've never seen it but I've seen some merchandise for it. Okay. Yeah. I don't know what it is. It looks interesting, it looks fun, and it's probably weird, you know, a little bit out there, which I'm into in my cartoons.
Starting point is 01:01:16 I could try to talk a little bit gumball. You watch it? Report? Yeah. They said, and the last cool topic was the show Invincible based on the comic. Okay, have you guys watched it? I've watched I have the I read the book. What'd you think of the book? I loved it. Yeah, Kirkman and Ottley Omni-man all that stuff. Yeah, it was good. Yeah, I read the books. I watched the first season I do want to watch second season. It's good. It's really they did a good job
Starting point is 01:01:43 Now you want the uncool list? Yeah. Yeah. I'm ready for it because I got a feeling that we've covered it in depth. Check, check, check. All right. Hold on a second there. What time is it? What do we got here? Let me read a real quick ad real fast so we're done with it. Good thinking.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Then we can get on to the uncool stuff. Is that one of the things though? Checking to make sure your ads are placed properly in – like you don't go – like it has to be in a certain timeframe that they have to be – They specifically said podcast ads. Cow talent to the man. Cow talent to the man. Is that cool? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:04:22 Is there an Arby's around, Walt? I don't know if there is an Arby's around. Walmart. Oh yes, Walmart and Asbury, yeah, I went there one time. Oh, it was gross. I wonder why it's been deemed uncool, just the taste of the food? I guess, I don't even know. Is there an Arby's on Staten Island?
Starting point is 01:04:39 Not that I know of. Yeah, that's why I found that weird. Yeah, that Arby's has been there a while, but I always drive by drive by and I'm just like how the fuck is that place still in business? It's never open You like roast beef Q I do like roast beef. Yeah, did you know that I didn't know that like you like roast beef Yeah, he's never mentioned it Sometimes I'm like I love roast beef. When was the last time you had some roast beef?
Starting point is 01:05:09 That's a good question. Probably this year. Probably got it on lunch. Lunch had set one day. Usually I go grill chicken for sandwiches. Will you, right here and now, denounce Arby's and then move to win over some? I am happy to do it unless... Arby's never did anything to win over some I am happy to do it unless For now I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to change my stance of our be if this last season they want to do some sort of
Starting point is 01:05:41 Absolutely. You're serving horsey sauce on the counter. Yeah, I'll do whatever, man. Can you imagine just somehow, some way this got out and became viral? How bad would you feel that you just as a joke, you denounced Arby's? Well, I think anybody listening would be like, oh, it sounds like he doesn't really believe it himself as he's saying it. But yeah, I would welcome it. I would welcome it. I would welcome it.
Starting point is 01:06:05 It would bring some attention. Now do you think it's also because of the Western motif? Because that's not cool in this area? Maybe. I don't know. I'm going to guess it's probably because their food is kind of shitty. Like isn't it known for sucking? Yeah, because you've got Texas Roadhouse.
Starting point is 01:06:18 That's not really of this, and they're great. That is not a comparison though. To Arby's? A fucking fast food place? That's like Wendy's, Popeye's, KFC's Arby's. I'm just saying like a Texas, it's like a Texas theme though. Right, that's a Western theme. Western theme.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Well Arby's does advertise a lot. There's always Arby's commercials on. It's that deep voice, black voice. We have the meat. We have the meat. So maybe it's those commercials that are turning people off. That could be it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Okay, all right. Well, you know what? I feel safe in saying we probably will never talk about Arby's again. Yeah, this is probably the one and only time we mentioned Arby's unless you know, you have to issue an apology. I'm totally willing to issue the apology. Arby's you want to talk business for you. BQ is gonna be saying, we got the meats. Oh, we got the meats. Boom. Um, they said, this is what one of my students said, the word crash out.
Starting point is 01:07:13 If you use it unironically, it is not cool. Have you used that word? I don't even know if I heard that. Apparently it means like to freak out. Like I was crashing out. They said if you seriously use it in a sentence Unironically, it's like super lame cringe. Yeah, that's what they said. Hmm I was like, I don't have to worry about that because I just heard it for the first time
Starting point is 01:07:34 Yeah, like use it in a sentence. I Was at McDonald's and they messed up my burger and I crashed out Okay I was channeled. But you could be like, so, okay, so if you were like, so if you were to say like, hey man, I went to McDonald's, I messed up my order. And I'm like, what, did you crash out? Like that's unironically? Yeah. If you said it like seriously like that, I guess that's uncool.
Starting point is 01:07:58 That's uncool. But if you were like, I freaked out, that's fine. So crash out, you can't say it all. No, unless it was like I maybe if you were busting your friends balls all I gave that you know some in my inconsiderate slob of a friend a pulled pork in front of me I crashed out Slop. Right. You should bring that up to your class tomorrow. Be like, you guys are not going to guess what happened. Crashed out.
Starting point is 01:08:39 They said the anime My Hero Academia is not cool. You guys don't like anime, so you don't have to worry about it. I know this is about this. This is superheroes though. Is it? It's a superhero school. Okay. Yeah, so they... I have heard comparisons that it's better than the X-Men, like, like the classic run of the X-Men, the Claremont Burn. Really? X-Men, it's better than the Marv Wolfman, Perez, Teen Titans. Like, it's...
Starting point is 01:09:02 Who said that? Uh, just critics. Really? Yeah, I've seen a lot of accolades for this. I mean you guys That seems like X-Men, you know, I guess it's not really my thing But like I that Teen Titans run is legendary, right? That's like considered one of the best and you know, I Could always look back on my time, you know when I was running the stash and I could hold my head up high. I never caved to the manga crowd. Nice.
Starting point is 01:09:29 If you go into that store now, is it covered in manga? There's a lot of manga out here. They're chasing that manga dollars and I was just like, you know what? We're red, white and blue in here motherfucker. You take your manga, you take your Wuhan virus, you get the fuck out of my store. God bless America. Bye. Bye. Land that I love.
Starting point is 01:10:00 I just wanted Akira. Carol's just outside, like, looking in the window, shaking her head. Also, it's funny, I think the thing is, like, Japanese. Oh, is it? Isn't it even funnier? But I would... oh, you know, you're just like, it's not cool. What did he say? He threw us out. Now he's second.
Starting point is 01:10:30 I just wanted to give him my money, man. That's good. That is uncool now though. Uncool. That's one of the things I'm just like, I wonder if I should sample this because I've heard such great things about it, but... It's uncool, you don't gotta worry about it. You don't even have to worry about it, yeah. And no one in this room, I think, is in danger of this.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Maybe Q. Jeans. Jeans are uncool. Yeah, jeans. Do you ever wear jeans anymore? I wear jeans a lot. What do you mean jeans? Wearing jeans like denim Dungarees Ming is in trouble. I'm not giving them up. No, I'm not giving them up. It's for the pod They're like fucking yoga pants. You got jeggans on? Yeah, basically, that's the one wearing these things.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Jeans are not cool. That's what they said. So that's what all the girls wear in school, like yoga pants and stuff? Yoga pants, sweatpants. I have been on record since 1997. That's the last time I... There have been a few times in between I've worn jeans, but only for special occasions. I've seen you one time in jeans and that was when we went to the movies when Kevin opened up – I can't remember what movie it was, but we were down at the Atlantic Center
Starting point is 01:11:53 before he owned it obviously. This is years ago and you had a pair of jeans on. It didn't look right. No, yeah. I've been anti-jeans for decades and it's only because I don't think they're comfortable. I hear you. I like them. They feel like a denim straight jacket. On your balls? Well, on my legs. I feel constricted. I feel like I can't make the moves I gotta make if I have to make them.
Starting point is 01:12:15 I'm curious as to what that list of moves is. But no, I understand. I do like them. I like the way they feel. Okay. They said wearing sandals or slides without socks, so your feet should never be exposed. And if you wear- This is a fashion that varies from decade to decade, it seems. Because sometimes it's like if you wear sandals and socks, you're the world's biggest nerd. Are we talking about dudes? Because I think girls can wear sandals, right? Because don't guys like to see, like not me, I'm not into this, but aren't there guys that like to
Starting point is 01:12:51 see toes and shit? No, I think it's universal for that current generation. They want your feet always covered. That's like the consensus. Wow. I thought the women, yeah, that's the reason they got their toenails painted and shit so they can wear sandals. Fucking Taliban and shit. I know. What's wrong with these guys? They don't want to. So they can't see anything. Fucking Taliban and shit. I know.
Starting point is 01:13:05 What's wrong with these guys? They don't want to see feet. That's what they said. That's wild. Yeah, that's pretty out there, man. Yeah. I mean, I'm not into feet at all, but there's some days when it's just so hot. Don't they understand?
Starting point is 01:13:19 I don't get that one. I mean, I would never show my own personal feet, you know, because I'm self-conscious about those bent toes, but. But what about you guys like you that are on wiki feet? You've got to show them. Yeah, that's how I make my money. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. That's what the kid said. Xbox is not cool. That's all I got.
Starting point is 01:13:40 Oh, shit. Like, is it just too old? It's your granddaddy's console? I think it's just like PS5 is cool, Xbox isn't, that's what they're saying. But if you went to another classroom, it could be the other way. I don't know. But that was – this was two classes. What else? They said Talk To A is uncool.
Starting point is 01:13:59 No. Talk To A. Talk To A Girl is uncool And that was unprompted. And the class, when they mentioned her, it was uproarious laughter and everyone mocking her. Wow! Shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Now why do you think that was? This was before the scandal. This was before. This was like maybe early November. The Bitcoin shit. So why do you think she fell out of favor so quick with the youth? I think her podcast was probably viewed pretty lame right away. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:14:28 That was kind of what they said. Yeah, you wonder what makes them turn on her. They elevate her and then they just abandon her. It's bad news because we've been all in on her for weeks now. Shit. No, look where it got us. Skibbity Riz is uncool now. Skibbity Riz. Don't know what that is.
Starting point is 01:14:50 I've heard this before, what is it exactly? So it's like, it's become like a phrase that like Jen Alpha says, like, Skibbity Riz, and it comes from this YouTube video about like a talking head in a toilet, and like it says like Skibbity a lot, and Riz means charisma. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:15:06 I don't fully understand it. I'm doing a shit job of explaining it, but that's basically it. And that is uncool now. I guess it was and it got played out. Crashed out. And the last two are Drake. Drake is not cool? Drake is not cool anymore,
Starting point is 01:15:25 because I think he beefed with Kendrick. And because Kendrick Lamar won, it kind of ended Drake. He's not cool anymore. How old is Drake now? He's gotta be like 35, I'm gonna guess. Yeah, that happens to any artist though, once they cross over a certain age.
Starting point is 01:15:41 He's 38. Yeah, the kids are gonna abandon him solely because of his age. People who like Drake will stick with Drake, but like minting new listeners, probably not happening. No. And is he a rapper or is he a soul artist? Why does he got to be one of the two?
Starting point is 01:15:59 Yeah, I think he's kind of a gospel. I don't think he's rock. No. He's definitely not rock. Yeah, but all that Drake needs is one hit. And bring it all back. And now turn it around? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:12 These kids are fickle. They don't know what's going on. Yeah, Drake is like a rapper who sings his own choruses. And does he have any scandals? Is he tied to Diddy or anything? I think he has like some underage scandals. Like supposedly he was sliding into Millie Bobby Brown's DMs when she was underage. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:30 So, you know. And the last thing that's uncool is ditty. Well, yeah. Which, I don't know if you guys know, but the young kids- But we gotta talk about him. Yeah. As things go on. But it's like kind of the new,, you know how no homo was a thing The kids will say like no diddy or they'd be like that's mad diddy. Wait, no homo came back
Starting point is 01:16:51 Well, I'm just it's it's like the equivalent of it No diddy they'll say or they'll be like, yo, you're mad diddy I see and meaning what when they say gay really? Yeah, it's kind of take you guys come back, huh? I hear everybody like calling. Really? Yeah, it's kind of taken over for us. It's gay as come back, huh? I hear everybody calling each other gay now. It's kind of back. It's coming back slowly, yeah. The kids say diddy. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:17:17 I've been noticing people being like, ah, that's gay again. And I'm like, wow, I can't believe that that, I guess. It's back. It never should have left, man. Nobody meant it in a hateful way, but seems like it's back. So do you think talking about current events is... Mad ditty.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Is that something we should do, or should we not talk about current events and kind of make it timeless? Because then when people re-listen to them, they're like, oh, well, they're talking about stuff that happened so long ago. Personally, I think you guys should talk about whatever the fuck you want. That's my personal opinion. But you know, I'm just, if you want, you know, maybe you could try sprinkle in some
Starting point is 01:17:55 of the youth topics. Maybe I could update you every couple of years on what the new generation is doing. We need a weekly roundup. I love your enthusiasm, your optimism that we'll be going for years. I think TSD is like 15, 20 more years. Really? Wow. I hope for God's sake. What about current events?
Starting point is 01:18:16 What we could talk about? I wanted to ask you about his thoughts about the assassination of that CEO, the healthcare CEO yesterday in New York? Yeah, he got just shot. Like that's – I don't – Somebody really read about it. Somebody really read about it. Yeah, I heard. Like he just got – it was an assassination, right? It's got to be somebody who got denied coverage, right? I think that's what most people are going to lean into.
Starting point is 01:18:38 But I wanted to ask you this. You're next in line to be – like that guy is killed. And now BQ is the next guy. The next guy who's going to step in to be like that guy, the guy's killed. Yeah. And now BQ is the next guy who's gonna step in to be the CEO, do you take it or do you just like? I would probably look, because if you're in a position, if you're gonna get that position, like you gotta be, and I'm not trying like the guy got shot,
Starting point is 01:18:59 I don't wanna say, you know, but I don't know how, I wouldn't wanna be in a position of telling people no, they're covered. Like I don't know how, I wouldn't want to be in a position of telling people no their coverage. I don't know how you do it. Well, he doesn't do it. He has his minions do it. Yeah, but my orders from the top down would be like great. He's the face of the company though.
Starting point is 01:19:15 Yeah, like how much did we make last year? 50 billion? Maybe we could only make 30 billion. They only netted 3 billion last year. That's all. No 50. Come on. They only netted three billion last year. Okay. That's all. No 50. Come on.
Starting point is 01:19:26 So as a CEO, I'd be like, guys, maybe we just make one billion and help people out. And then you're fired then. That's it. Then I'm out. You're out. So I wouldn't be good. But if I was the type of guy that was like, fuck, I'm going to make that four billion, I would just be like, look, I need personal security paid for by the company 24 hours
Starting point is 01:19:41 a day. Last guy got shot. You want that extra billion or not? I would be terrified to take it over. I would not want it. Well, it's not exactly like, it's like when you hear these police chiefs, they take over for an old police chief and they're like, I'm going to wage a war on the cartels. It's like, are you out of your fucking mind?
Starting point is 01:19:57 The same thing happens every time. They get decapitated and their head is put on top of their car. Every time. Do you think it might be a little misdirection though that maybe the murder has nothing to do with insurance denial? Sure, the guy could have slept with his wife. It could be a love triangle thing and maybe this is an episode of Colombo then if they tried to do a little switcheroo and put everybody on the wrong track. Colombo Cool or Uncool on the list?
Starting point is 01:20:27 I'm going to assume that if they ask them, they'll go, what's a Colombo? This is the last episode and get all this shit out though. I'm not going to talk about it in the next episode. Do you think it's possible it has nothing to do with? I think it's possible. It just seems like, you know, Occam's razor, right? The answer is usually – the easiest answer is usually the answer. Paul Jay But then you have to try to explain away how
Starting point is 01:20:50 does that person know a guy from Minnesota is at a conference in New York, what hotel he's staying at and what time is he going to be on the street? Paul Jay That is an excellent point. Paul Jay Right? How does he know that if it's just somebody who's like, even if it's some disgruntled guy who maybe had a loved one, denied coverage? Why is he in town? Is he probably speaking?
Starting point is 01:21:14 Yes, they're at a CEO fundraiser. Okay, so he could have went to the hotel. Fundraiser? Fundraiser? Or investment? Not fund. They don't need fundraisers. The shareholders meeting.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Yeah, so he's so aware. So that narrows it down. He knows he's in New York City, where he is in New York. So he's so aware. So that narrows it down. He knows he's in New York City, where he is in New York City. He could have followed him back to the hotel from the event. I don't think the event happened yet. It was happening that morning. Oh, I don't know any of these facts.
Starting point is 01:21:33 So I don't know. Did you see the video? I haven't seen anything on it. What is he just walking out to his car or something? He's just walking and just some guy waits as he walks by and then just shoots him like five times. Holy shit, man. Yeah, silencer on the gun, a suppressor.
Starting point is 01:21:48 That's crazy. Yeah. I'm not surprised at this shit. No, you see, like people can be driven to extremes when they feel like they've paid in all that money and then they get denied healthcare or their loved one gets denied life-saving services and it can drive you to do fucking crazy shit you never thought you would do. Well, what if you – if say that this guy got denied services and he's like, you know, I've got cancer or something and they won't pay for the chemo or whatever, it's like
Starting point is 01:22:19 if he doesn't have families, what has he got to lose then? Nothing. He's got a death sentence and it's like, fuck this guy. Fuck it. Like maybe he's not the one who denied me, but he's like you said, he's the face of the company that denied me. I got to take it out on someone. And it's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:22:33 He's cause you know, the family is just, he has a family and you're going to hear the world just kind of be like, oh well. It's weird because a man just died, but yet the internet and basically a lot of people, not everybody, is gonna be like, they're greedy sons of bitches. Yeah, it's weird.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Are people saying that? Is that like people? Oh yeah. Yeah, really? There's little sympathy you could find for. I get it, we're in a fucking fraught time in history, man. Like it's people's dander up, is that cool? Dander.
Starting point is 01:23:09 Dander's up, man. Like people are feeling left out and not included. So I can see how they could see it as like a notch for the good guys. Yeah, if that's what it is. If that's what it is. Because it could be, but he also left writings on the shell casings.
Starting point is 01:23:25 Yeah. Wait, what? He wrote, deny, defend and depose on the bullet casings. That's the title of a book about how insurance companies do everything in their power to not pay out. Well, I think we should write off the jilted lover angle here. We're scratching into bullets. Well, that would be the perfect – yeah, that would be the smoke screen if it's somebody who wanted to throw you off. You're scratching into bullets. Well, that would be the perfect, yeah, the smoke. That would be the smoke screen, you know, if it's somebody who wanted to throw you off.
Starting point is 01:23:47 You're right. That's what I would do. Scratched it into the bullet? Yeah, into the casings, yeah. That is anger, man. That's a lot of time, yeah. Wow, sales of that book are probably going up. Maybe the author?
Starting point is 01:24:02 Pump up his book sales? Gotta get in with the youth. Why not? Books aren't cool. No. Nope. Maybe he's the author? Pump up his book sales. Gotta get in with the youth. Why I got it is nuts. Books aren't cool. No. It's going to be something to see how it unfolds because, right, it's like, oh, here's a video. There's a lot of, there's not a lot of sympathy for this guy. Oh my God, look at that.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Right behind him. He takes aim. Oh, that was fucking crazy. Yeah, he just goes. That right behind him. He takes aim. Oh That was fucking crazy. Yeah, he just goes I don't need to see the actual bullet go off. It's all right. We got him Thank you. I Doubt they show it on this anyway. I seen it. It's not that graphic. All right He just falls down. He just falls. Oh really? Yeah, what he's thinking about I don't think if I think he just you just see him kind of stumble. He probably doesn't know what hit him No, that's what I'm saying. I wonder what he was thinking about. I think you just see him kind of stumble. He probably doesn't know what hit him. No, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:24:46 I wonder what he was thinking about as he walked down the street. It was his last thought. Probably not a gun going, oh, I'm running late for my meeting. Yeah, something like that. And that's the last thought you have. I'm rich. And did you hear that yesterday one of the other insurance companies issued an edict that they're only going to pay for a certain
Starting point is 01:25:07 amount of time that you're under anesthesia in an operating room and if you cross shield in New York and Connecticut and if your doctors goes over that time you're on the hook for the anesthesia then oh my god cut you off mid-surgery and that's why that's why people get that's why people are indifferent and there's apathy. Who even thought of that? Who even had that thought to be like, we should cut them off in the amount of anesthesia? It's so fucking crazy, man. It's so inhuman.
Starting point is 01:25:36 But that's why there's an absolute apathy for this murder. Yeah, I guess. I understand. I just said before, let's say that wasn't a CEO of an insurance company. Let's say that's some Joe Blow that was shot by some random person. His insurance company would be fighting you tooth and nail not to pay out. Right? Yeah, that's pretty fucked, man. Yeah, wild. Kids like that, though, right? Do they talk about current events? Oh, I think man. Yeah wild Yeah, kids like that though right?
Starting point is 01:26:05 Talk about current events. I think so yeah That's plugged in that's horrible. I Mean you gotta like Yeah, you gotta be angry to go shoot. Oh, yeah, you can see like your child. You thought your child could have lived Yeah, you thought your wife may have Could survive if she had gotten care that they was denied. This is the company that said no. Yes. I absolutely can understand the apathy of the world to feel the sympathy but it's
Starting point is 01:26:39 got to be fucked up for the world – for that family to see that reaction. It's like, oh my God, not only is he dead, but nobody cares. Everyone's celebrating. Yeah. At minimum, they don't care. Yeah. At worst, they're celebrating it.
Starting point is 01:26:53 Oof. Can we mention the Christmas pod? We sure can. That was my next point. It's out. It's out, that's right, it's out. Out on Bandcamp, and please. What's the reaction, man, people loving it?
Starting point is 01:27:04 People love it. Greatest Christmas episode ever, like they're saying. But it is not on the Tell Them Steve Dave page on Bandcamp. And I hope that hasn't confused people, but you have to search Tell Them Steve Dave Christmas 2024 to find it. If you're looking just on our Bandcamp page, it's not there because it's under an account
Starting point is 01:27:25 for the Juarez family. So yeah, it's doing well. I heard that it's helping a lot to the Juarez family. It's going to go a long way in helping solve the issues that they were having, which I don't want to speak about. I know people have demanded – I tell them why they need help, but I don't think it's my spot to say it. If Duar Reza is one.
Starting point is 01:27:53 No. Why are they even asking anyway? They're getting a product for the money. They're not just giving money. You know, that's a question that I don't want to get into. Okay. Fair enough. Well, understood.
Starting point is 01:28:04 Because people are buying it and that's the most important thing. that I don't want to get into. Okay, fair enough. Yeah. Well, understood. Because people are buying it and that's the most important thing, not all the other stuff, just noise. Yeah. Justin Kyle told me that he bought it for 50 bucks. He was like, you know, it's Alex and Victor. I'll give a little bit extra. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:19 And then he downloaded it and he saw that he accidentally downloaded the 2023 version. So each of us made 15 bucks. Hey, oh. He asked me for a refund. I refused. Yeah. Took my talking points from that CEO from the insurance company. No, no, no. That was a joke. I gave him the refund of the $50. Wow. This is crazy footage. Yeah, so, yeah, it's great. So people have been loving it. People have been loving it.
Starting point is 01:28:49 Yeah, it's three hours and 40 some minutes, I think. Forty-six minutes of Christmas bliss if you're somebody who's maybe not anticipating a great Christmas this year. Maybe you're not with your family or you're just having some blues. You could spend it with us for three hours and 46 minutes. That's a long time. Then you can start it over again when it's over. You're not going to carry everything the first time.
Starting point is 01:29:16 That's seven hours you spent with us for Christmas. You just spent less than a dollar an hour, man. What are you bitching about? How has reaction been to Ming's? Very good. Yeah. That to me was the moment. I was like, I can't wait for people to- Earnhower man, what are you bitching about? How has reaction being to Ming's uh, very good Yeah, that to me was the moment. I was like, I can't wait for me was the Maverick. Yeah making that call That's why he's got that fucking hardware that Maverick hardware has ever been a follow-up to that that we ever hear No, not surprising now, what are you gonna do? Yeah
Starting point is 01:29:41 Nothing. No, not surprising. No. What are you going to do? Yeah. And look, you know, after you buy that one, if you've had to tell Steve Dave one, you've listened, you can check out the Review of History one. There he goes. Please, please check it out, Review of History on Bandcamp.com.
Starting point is 01:29:58 There he goes. What's your Christmas episode about? What are you two talking about? The premise is it takes place in December, 2023, we go to a Diddy freak off and it's like a Christmas, it's, it's a rip off of Tom Steve Dave Christmas. I just love it so much. I did my own version.
Starting point is 01:30:13 So, okay. You know, all right. All right. Who's your guest on it? Any, uh, any TSD alumni? Chuck, Jimmy the hair guy, get them. And that's, uh, that's the guest list. Not bad.

Starting point is 01:30:44 I heard that he was blottoed. He got so drunk he almost passed out and was incoherent at the end, get him? And he was just slurring his words. He was a drunken mess. He knew better to do that on ours. Yeah. Did it add to the show or did it detract? You can be honest.
Starting point is 01:30:59 I think it was funny and everyone just kind of went, okay, and they just ignored him after that. And then after like 20 minutes of that he kind of like Okay, and they just ignored him after that right and then after like you know 20 minutes of that He kind of like perked back up a bit But yeah, he was he was down for a bit. We all been there get him So look what kind of what kind of drunk is he is he was he happy was he just like you say incoherent and like? He would just like rant ramble so like we'd ask a question And he would just be like and the fucking thing and blah blah blah, blah, blah, and, you know, and the horses. And we're like, what?
Starting point is 01:31:27 And then, you know, people would go, okay, and then they would just go back to what they were doing. You know, and you're welcome, you know that it just sold you some more episodes, because people want to hear drunk, incoherent, get-em-right. I hope so. I think you're going to see a little bump now because people are going to want to hear him make a spectacle of himself. Jesus, get him.
Starting point is 01:31:51 You're moving the needle. Yeah, the remade history bank. It's for Christmas. I don't know, that's all I got this week. Did I tell you about Sage telling me she was moving? No. Really? Yeah, Sage.
Starting point is 01:32:10 We were at Pam's house for, what was it? It might have been Halloween or something. I think it was Thanksgiving. No, Thanksgiving was at my house. Okay, so you're confusing your notes. No, yeah, I'm like, hey. You didn't realize it was fucking November. No, we were at her house for some reason.
Starting point is 01:32:23 We were having pizza and Sage came. It was me, Marybeth, Pam, and Edgar. Oh, we just went there for dinner one night. And Sage came upstairs and sat down at the dinner table and she's very upset. And she said that. She's like, this is hard for me to say, she goes. But when I turn 21, I'm moving to LA. And I said, really? I was like, what are you going to do in LA?
Starting point is 01:32:32 And she's like, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model. And I said, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model. And she said, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model. And I said, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model. And she said, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model.

And she said, I'm moving to LA. I said, really? I was like, what are you going to do in LA? And she's like, I'm going to be a fashion designer and model. But she was like on the verge of tears because she doesn't want to go, but she feels she has to.
Starting point is 01:32:56 You got plans for that room? Oh, yeah. I immediately started stripping the walls of her posters and shit. Tell them, Steve, Dave.
