Tell Em Steve-Dave - #641: Truck Steak

Episode Date: June 15, 2025

Bry’s domestic issues, Q questionable movie choices, Iran’s nukes, Q ‘meets’ the Fonz, India air disaster.

Oh, you have you have a burner phone five three. Yeah, I have a three courier's fringe Talk to the hand, honey! Everybody, butt plugs ready? Gone swimming! Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell Them Steve Dave. I look around the table. I see Get'em. Howdy y'all. I see Walt. Hello. And BQ. Hello.

And BQ. Hello. BQ, did you have to brave any traffic or was it not so good? No, we did it. We got it. Great. We got it down. Took 40 minutes today, which is about it.

Nice average time. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, I was thinking about it last night after we, or yesterday after we decided to do it. I was like, yeah, weekend should not be a thing in the summer at all. It just can't. It's a, so the travel, it can, it has taken me up over two hours to get home from here on weekends. That's crazy. And it's like, isn't it like, it's like 17 miles, is it? Oh, it's less than that. Yeah. It just, it just stops your enthusiasm for, I mean, life really.

Sin and atrophic. Yeah. If we were to add another patron tier to subsidize helicopter rides and for BQ, is that an island to Haslip? I don't know if that's, look, we've done the math before. It cost me about 25 bucks an episode for me to record. So, you know, between the tolls and all the stuff. So how much more can a helicopter pay? It could probably be about $300 to $500.

Each time you take it. Yeah. So maybe I'll just sit in traffic. What if I got my pilot's license? Yeah. Are you maintaining the vehicle or no? Someone else will maybe. Well, it doesn't also have to be one of those official choppers. It's like, you know, the ones that like guys make for just themselves, like to fly around like this is a drone.

Like that cannot be legal around here. I would think over three different airports and you're peddling away like crazy. It's like, remember that old timey footage of flying where it's just the guy with the umbrella that bounces up and down, flying out through the air. Q got shot down again. Yeah. But we got the episode out. It was on the way home. No, no, no.

Really, it's just as long as it's before a certain time on Friday and never on Sunday, it's all right. You really got to blame your brothers and sisters though in... Which ones? What's Shangri-La? What do you guys call it? Shaolin. Shaolin. They just can't stay out of New Jersey.

It's not that. It's everybody uses Staten Island as a as a thoroughfare to Jersey. Like the traffic doesn't end on Staten Island. It goes over the barrel bridge, you know, into Brooklyn and points beyond. I'm sure there's a healthy amount of Staten Islanders, but I shut that place down like fucking no man's land. I'd love to blow the bridges. Nothing would make me happier than blowing the bridges to Staten Island. Keep you but then you've been saying that on Staten Island for decades.

Yeah, I mean that would make me very happy. But it's all right. We're fine. We're totally good today. All good. All good. Walt was saying earlier, I thought this was interesting that he says Teddy doesn't dream. Really?

Yeah, my dog Teddy has never had one of those dreams. The pause twitching. Where you know that twitching and the whining and everything. Teddy doesn't dream at night. It's the one year anniversary. Oh, really? Yeah. Already? Really? Wow. Brian and Nichelle called me this morning and he's out of the blue and I was a little worried. I was

like, oh, why is Nichelle calling me? He just said, he was the, I don't know, I guess it's not proper to say anniversary if someone's passing away. Yeah, you know, what else you're going to say? Yeah. His aunt passed away a year ago and that's how I got Teddy. And he was just checking in to see how nice he was. Oh, how nice. Yeah. Great.

Got rid of him six months ago. How do you imagine that? No, Teddy is, you know that you are completely in love with something when you overlook every aspect that is not a positive. Yes. And you're just like, it doesn't matter that I got to take him everywhere I go. It doesn't matter that I haven't eaten in a restaurant in the last seven weeks I've eaten in my car. But we do it with a smile on our face because he's so goddamn affectionate. It's not like it's a compromise. It's just like that's the way it is.

You want to change it. You want to change it. You'd be like, hey, look, what are you going to do? That's when you know you're in love head over heels. That is probably why so many marriages fail because when people fall in love and they get married and stuff and as years go by that feeling fades. It won't fade with the dog. No, it does fade with people. The dog is always happy to see you.

Maybe the Mrs. and the hubby aren't always as happy to see their significant others as they are. Maybe they just got a text on Facebook from their old boyfriend. You don't know. You don't know what's happening while you're at work. You know what's happening with the dog. Yeah, he's off Facebook. He's just waiting to see you.

Yeah, he's like, he don't give a fuck about Facebook. He doesn't know when I'm walking through that door and the next time I'm coming through. Uh-huh, that's it. That's fantastic. That's fantastic. It's fantastic. What do you do for Father's Day? Because you're going up to Pennsylvania to see my little grandson. And we're going to go to Red Robin.

And that's the, I don't know if it's the first time he's going to be inside of a restaurant. I'm sure that his parents have taken him somewhere by now. But yeah, we're going to go to Red Robin. Then we're going to go inside of a restaurant. Wow. I'm sure that his parents have taken him somewhere by now. But yeah, we're going to go to Red Rob and then we're going to go back to their place. They're going to show me with gifts, I'm sure. And then we're going to hit the casino because my youngest, Alicia, is able to gamble now. I'm going to give her some money to gamble. Oh, how cool. I'm going to teach her how to gamble. Oh, that's.

Not that I'm not a good teacher. I'm not, but I'm going to show her my favorite games and, uh, see what, if she can turn her 50 bucks into $51 would be, uh, would be an accomplishment. Yeah. Oh, that's great. Yeah. That's what I'm going to be talking about. Have you been to this casino before?

Yeah. It's pretty close to where, uh, Caitlin lives. Yeah. I's what my dad would say. Have you been to this casino before? Yeah. It's pretty close to where Caitlin lives. Which one is it? Is it the one we used to pass when we went to your parents' house, right? If you don't want to say it. I don't care.

It's up by Bushkill. I don't know where that, I don't know- You don't know the name of the casino? It's not like Mount Airy Lodge casino? It is. Oh, it is? Yeah. Oh yeah.

I know that casino. Yeah. Yeah. It's nice up there. Yeah. My parents don't live too far up there, so sometimes I'll go to the casino with them. Yeah. And they're giving away toolkits to every father. Oh, nice. Yeah. They know what to do in Pennsylvania, man. You already got the Telum City of Dave toolkit. What do you need another one for?

Well, I mean, I was just going to flip it in the parking lot for extra gambling money. How much you got on that voucher? What are you doing for Father's Day? I think we're going to go see Edgar, go to his house, have a barbecue. Oh, nice. Yeah. I would invite him over except like our place isn't exactly ready yet. We opened the pool and there's something without going into too much detail.

There's something called phosphates, which make it so when you have a... You have a saltwater pool. This is not something you have to worry about. The phosphates come from leaves, organic matter, pesticides, that kind of shit. I guess over the winter, all this shit blows underneath the cover and gets in the pool. When they came and opened the pool the other day, and they're like, yeah, it should clear up in 24 to 48 hours. In 48 hours, still the water looks like a fucking murky Louisiana bayou.

It's all fucking brown and gross looking. So I brought the water in and they're like, yeah, you got phosphates, 50%. So now what I have to do is, and this is like real first world problems, but I'm sitting there cursing my life. You have to empty your pool like three quarters, four times. Why not just empty it 100% one time? It'll all collapse in. You need some of that water to hold up the... The walls of the pool will collapse?

Yeah, that's what they said. It was a danger that it could collapse in. It's a liner or? A liner, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That means it must not be on solid. Well, no, it is, but they said any pool.

Really? Yeah, they're like, unless they're concrete. What about skateboarders? I see them. Concrete. Yeah, those are concrete pools. Concrete pools. What kind of pool is yours? Mine's like it has a liner, it's not concrete.

Is it plastic? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I have the same thing. It's like a aluminum- You're looking down your nose at my plastic pool. They dig out the hole and they basically put like aluminum slats on the side and then put the liner in and then fill it with water and that's how. Well it's not like it's pool weather yet, right?

It wasn't like- It really hasn't been though. It's not that hot, is it? I've been in my pool a couple of times. Already this season? Oh sure, yeah. It's been a couple of 85 degree days. How fucking cold is that water though?

It hasn't been a chance to warm up yet, has it? You think you're looking at a man who doesn't have a heater? Oh, that's right. Fucking... I'm as pussy as I get, bro. He's considering a helicopter, right? And you think he doesn't have a heater on this pool? Yeah, I had a heater put inside, so I just jacked that up. Nice. But yeah, so our place isn't really ready to host people just yet.

Still got a bunch of fucking weeds to pull and it's too much. I tell you the best thing about Sandy was fucking knocking my pool down. Yeah. Oh yeah. That was the only thing we looked at and it was like, thank God that albatross is fucking out of our lives. Yeah. Penny, I put those dangerous holes in your backyard that people know.

What are the dangers of phosphates? It just like what it does is it eats up the chlorine. That murky water is good enough for yet. Yeah, I guess it just eats up the chlorine right away. So it never gets clear. Once you're in the pool, I mean, just because you maybe don't go under the water, your cavities are being exposed to phosphate. Exposed to phosphate. Filled with phosphate.

You know, you can't stop it from going in your cavities. No, I can't seal them up. Well, I guess you could, but it would be odd if you went. Everybody, Mary Bath stage, time to seal the cavities. We're going into the phosphate pool. You think I'm going to fucking take 3 quarters of the water out four times?

Fuck that. I just want that out of an even brought a much cheaper solution. Yeah. Everybody, butt plugs ready? Gone swimming. door, they know not to bother us. Everyone's like, ow, ow, ow, ow. Yeah, plus like Edgar Six, I figured it's easier for him to not have to come over to the house because he gets tired pretty easily. Yeah, how like Edgar's sick, so I figure it's easier for him to not have to come over to the house because he gets tired pretty easily.

Yeah, how's he doing? He's doing all right. Every time I see him, he's like, yeah, I got the chemo this week. I had a blood, gave me blood last week, but I'm doing all right. He still takes his dog for a walk every day. He's doing his own thing. He seems to be doing all right so far. Lost a lot of weight, but that's about it as far as I can tell anyway.

So, I figured grab a couple of steaks maybe, go over there and have a barbecue, although I think it's supposed to rain. Is it ever not raining? You know where on Route 35, there's this pool store in Kingsburg. It's, it used to be a Kislin's when we were kids. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They had about a thousand people lined up the other day and I drove by and I couldn't figure out what it was.

And then later on I found, I saw online while my wife did that they were selling steaks out of a truck, truck steak. Truck steak? And I couldn't believe that people would line up and wait for seemingly in a line that was, you couldn't see the back of it for cheap steak. Yeah, I saw that when we went to the curators event. It was a big trucker trailer. It was like 40 ribeye steaks for $20. Yes. Wait a minute, how many trailer. It was like 40 ribeye steaks for $20.

Yes. Wait a minute, how many? 40? Yeah, 40 ribeye steaks for $20. So it's 50 cents a steak? That's a pretty good deal. All right. No, no, no, no. What truck? What first truck did that fall off with? That's a good question.

I saw this, they had a similar truck outside the buffet like two years ago, and I looked it up and apparently they're like food service steaks. So they're like that thin. Oh, they're like steak-ums? No one can see that. You're two little fingers. Oh, sorry. They're like a quarter inch thick.

Okay. And they're like a steak-um. Yeah, pretty much. And then like they have like a bigger deal like if you want. It's like a little bit of a scam almost from what I've read. It's a scam. From what I've read. You do get steaks, but they're not, what's your picture?

They're not grade A? Are they grade C, D? I'm not sure. I didn't go that far. You're right though, it is like, how do they get the rights to set up in the parking lot? Like the pool people aren't like, wait a second, what are you doing?

And how do they pass the FDA or the, you know. Yeah, can you just sell food to people? Can you just sell, you need like a license? You can't until they catch you. I guess they have it though. I mean how many people are, how many food inspectors are cruising Route 35 at the pool place? But when you see that line, that many people in the line, I think that raises the antennas

though and you bring unwanted attention your way if you're selling steaks illegally. Wow, here comes off a mallard to shut us down. Officer, you want some steaks? Yeah, wow, I like steaks. Take these, have a good day, officer. You know, I'm a big supporter of Blue Lives Matter. There you go. Back in business.

Offly thin steaks. Ah, take two, take two. Ah! And is there a limit on, like, could you buy, like, a thousand steaks? I'm sure they'll sell you whatever you wanna buy. There'll be a ride on their hands off. I went in, I scrounged up all the stakes.

Opened up competing stands. 40 stakes for $25. They put the two, the Gittem's reading an article right now, parking lot stakes, they put $2 ribeyes to the test. I went to, um, Texas roadhouse last week. I had a ribeye. I'm thinking they're probably not the same. Was it good?

It was good. You liked it. Okay. It was very good. I like Texas roadhouse too, but to be honest with you, it's my third favorite steak house of all, of the three chains, the major chains. So you got Outback, you got Lone Star. I like Outback and Lone Star, I like our better, I think.

Really? Texas. Texas is okay. Denny's. Denny's used to be the best steak in town, but they changed their grade. Yeah. They're too salty at Texas I think. Put a lot of salt in everything. Yeah, they are salty.

Uh, but I think you can ask for without that shit on it. Salt? Yeah. Well, do you ask like nothing on it? I'm sure you do, right? Yeah, but I don't, I don't, I think they're. They're pretty you ask like nothing on it? I'm sure you do. Right? Yeah. But I don't, I don't, I think they're, they're pretty salted or something. I think they're soaked in salt water. I think. Or brine. Yeah. So this is the Kroger ribeye on the left and a parking lot

ribeye on the right. It's like a pizza almost. There's just a little bit of a difference. Yeah. It looks like a fried egg, the one on the right. It looks like a fried egg, the one on the right. Doesn't it? Where is this from? This is from what part of the world? This is Cincinnati. Cincinnati. So it's all over the place.

It's a country-wide thing. Well, I saw it in Hazlitt and then I went up to Woodbridge. I saw it in the Woodbridge Center Mall. There's a, I mean, somehow, some way, like I guess meat is not moving as well as it did. And now they're resorting to having to go into parking lots and sell it at tents. I mean, at the tent, and then they have a truck that says $20 ribeyes on it. Yeah, so they're not being subtle. 20 ribeyes, $40.

Like, so yeah, they're not being clandestine about it. So maybe they do have the permits and the rights then. Maybe we should get into the parking lot state game, man. Maybe there's money. Why not? There could be we we should get into the parking lot steak game, man Everybody's doing it. We got a parking lot right in front of here that we could set up Ask the the landlord. What's her name again? Jill? Yes, Jill if we can just sell a couple steaks Huh Hmm. All right. Anyway, cute. Did you go see Ballerina or no?

I have not had an opportunity. I've had extended family at St. Elias. Still at the house, huh? We're going to- As far back as last week. We're going on 11 days, bro. So, I don't know where I'm going or coming anymore. I just found out that, I can't believe I'm saying

this, but, uh, I might have other family members coming in the day before these leave. So for one day you'll have everybody. No, no, no. There's the overlap. Now your place is pretty large though. Do you? It's not that large, Walt. Do you find it? I've learned the, I used to think it was large. Because I feel like if you made a little bit of effort, you could not see anybody if you

just used your hidden passageways to move about the house and all your secret entrances and you still bump into everybody. They're all covered. They're all covered. And it is just a delight. It is a delight to have people you love around you. But when you're not used to it for quite so long, it's notable. That's 11 days.

That's a stretch. Yeah. Ben Franklin had that famous quote where guests send fish stink after three days. But to be fair, you couldn't get any easier than to guess. You know what I mean? It's fine. They haven't done a single misplay and they won't ever hear this. So it's not like I'm saying this just for that.

They haven't done a single thing that's annoyed me or anything. It's just, you know, you're used to your own. Your own space. But it's all right. It's fine. Everything's fine, guys. It's all good. It's all good. It's all right. It's fine. Everything's fine, guys. It's all good.

It's all good. It's all good. All right. I just checked the board still going. And there's joys in it in many ways because there's youngsters in the mix who have never seen Predator before and have never seen the Terminator movies before. We've been like a little bit of an Arnold Schwarzenegger kick and it's been, you know, that's been fun. You know, I don't have kids, so it's nice to have like-

How young are they? That they haven't seen these movies. We're talking a range, we're talking eight, we're talking 11. Whoa, you're showing them our rate of movies? Did you get permission? The 11 year old, yeah, yeah, it's movie night, baby. I saw fucking Predator in theaters,

I mean, what do you want from me? It's a new age, Q. The kids today are not as... Well, they do leave the room when something scary occurs. But my argument is Terminator is not a horror movie. It's a science fiction movie. But when he starts cutting his own face, ripping his own flesh off. These are the parts that the kids were- Murdering people left and right. I don't know. Grew up on this shit, man.

You turned out fine. What year did the first Terminator movie come out? 1984. 84. So I saw that in theaters. And I was born in 76. So what does that tell you? I know, but you came from a different generation, a little bit tougher. Yeah, but we're only seeding the future if we don't, you know, if anything I've learned from John Connor, you have to fight the future. I did rewatch Terminator 3 last night, and I remember you and I liked it when it came out.

Yeah, didn't hold up? It did in a lot of ways. It did in that the humor doesn't hold up. There are some fucking clunkers in there that I'm shocked Arnold allowed to go in. Like there are three sunglass gags in it where one, he puts on the sunglasses and they're the stripper sunglasses that are stars and he looks right in the camera. It was like, all right. Then he gets knocked unconscious by the Terminatrix and his glasses are like knocked askew and he opens his eyes. Then later on, he gets knocked onto the windshield of a fire truck and like the fireman looking,

he's like a bug on the windshield and the sunglasses are askew again. I was like, man, they really went in on these fucking sunglasses. Yeah. I remember us back when it was originally coming out, we were like, more sunglasses jokes. Not enough sunglasses jokes. Pretty wild. It's pretty wild. And there's like some callbacks that you're like, I mean, I don't think they, I don't know if you remember the talk to the hand line where he, when he takes the stripper's clothes, the super gay stripper is like, talk to the hand honey.

And then later on when he's stealing Slim Jim's or whatever, you know, the guy at the counter goes, you have to pay for that. And he's like, talk to the hand. And it's like, Ooh, no, don't do that. And it didn't make sense because it's a, I know I'm talking about a movie that's like fucking 15 years old and reevaluating or even older. I think it's older. Yeah. But like it didn't need it. He was a different Terminator. And you know, the big

reveal is he's the Terminator that kills John Connor in the future and they reprogram and send them back. And it's a darker movie. If you take those jokes out and I'm like, why didn't they take those fucking jokes? It's not the same Terminator. It's not the one that was turned human. It's not the one that was like learned to love. So did you make it past this one? Did you like in your in your viewing your Terminator binged with the eight, nine year olds? Started watching Salvation. But I think I think boredom kicked in and year old is not involved in these ones. It's more than 11 year old. Um, but uh, salvation they started to get a little bored. Like it's a very serious. What's the one Nick? What's the one where Sarah Connor comes back

and she's really old? Oh, that's, that's dark fate. I'm not even gonna bother. I'm gonna try. Dude, that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. That movie sucked shit. I remember watching that theater screen, like I can't believe that this team of people made a movie this bad. What was it called? Dark Fate. Yeah, it was really bad. Dark Fate, I never saw it.

Did you see it? Yeah, Arnold was like an interior decorator right there. Yeah, he was a, first of all, they killed John Connor in the first five minutes of the movie. Like they go all through the trouble of bringing him back and de-aging him just to die in what I'm guessing is less than a year after Terminator 2 ended in the timeline. So you're like, well, so nothing that mattered in Terminator 2 matters. And then that Terminator that kills him, his, this is all, as I recall,

I only started the one time, but his mission was completed, the Terminator. So he walks off and then over the ensuing 30 years, like learns to, he has no more mission, so he learns to be human and he becomes an interior decorator with a family. It sounds like you're kidding And he's the one that is sending Sarah Connor Secret information as to where the new terminators are coming and the big reveal is that it's this terminator that killed John Connor who now designs drapes and John Connor who now designs drapes. Of course, John Connor is dead, so the new resistance is what appears to be a 13-year-old immigrant girl. They flash to the future and they don't age her up. It's just this tiny little girl going, let's go, man. Let's do it. You're

just like, what the fuck am I watching? am I watching? Yeah. Yeah. Lynn, I do remember Linda, Linda Hamilton being satisfying in that movie though. I remember her being the part I liked about it. Is this a girl power movie? Well, look at that photo and you go ahead and tell me what you think is going on in that movie. Well, I wasn't sure about the middle one. I couldn't tell if it was a male or female.

Arnold is nowhere to be seen in that photo. He doesn't have top billing in the movie. She's given some special drug, which like amps her up, like gives her, yeah. But then she crashes hard. Yeah. So like soak her in ice. She starts overheating, like physically overheating. Oh my God.

It was just horrible. The hardest part for me was Linda Hamilton. Like she's 80 years old by this point. Yeah, but I don't, that part, that was the only part I liked. She's driving out of a plane in a Hummer and like crash landing and just like, okay, dust me off. I know, I know. But it's that I'm like, it's a movie. But like, look, Terminator three had Claire Danes become John Connor's wife, second in command. And after John, John dies, she takes

over the resistance and sends the Terminator back. And the Terminator in the third one is a female. And there was no sense of like, anything besides, oh, this is pretty cool. Like you watch Dark Fate and you're like, you motherfuckers. Like you said, you don't even have the gumption to put Arnold in the fucking, the big major still. It's just the girls walking towards the camera. And Arnold's like, hey guys, don't forget about me. The OG Terminator.

It's Carl. You guys remember Carl the Terminator? Yeah, it was a terrible movie. But again, it's not, want to be very clear on this. It's not because like those are three women standing there just because of how ham-handed and goddamn awful it is. You didn't see Mission Impossible, the new one? I haven't seen Ballerina, I haven't seen Mission Impossible.

I saw Mission Impossible. Had to be good, right? As with a little bit of sadness and melancholy, I have to say it wasn't horrible, it wasn't like a train wreck, but I think we've seen all the stunts that one guy can do. There's really no way to reinvent the wheel for Mission Impossible, I don't think. There you go.

And the villain is kind of corny. It's like an AI don't think. There you go. The villain is kind of corny. It's like an AI that comes to- Oh, really? That can communicate. So, it's kind of a corny science fiction kind of vibe to it. Isn't that weird that the villain in Terminator 3 was AI as well? She controlled machines around there.

Yeah. So, the villain puts out this electronic sarcophagus and Tom has to get into it to communicate with the villain. So it's like this, it's this really just corny kind of aspect of the movie where, you know, this robotic entity, they call it the entity, is saying what he's going to do. Like, it's like that's very cliched, like over the top, like if the fucking entity had a mustache, he'd be twirling it. That kind of like evil twirl.

Because that's how over the top it is. But there's nothing like being in a theater and hearing out of the good movie stereo speakers that Mission Impossible theme. Yeah. It makes you think that like you can fucking swim to the bottom of the ocean. Yeah. You know, and you could do it. But you can't.

No. But boy, that music makes me think I can. It pumps me up. Yeah. That's not the first time I've heard something like that, that like makes me think I can, it pops me up. That's not the first time I've heard something like that, that like when people, men specifically, they watch shows with like alpha guys, they're like, I want to be like that. Like I want to be Tony Soprano. I want to be Walter White. I want to be this guy or that guy like these, you know, I want to be Don from Mad Men.

Has anybody ever said they want to be Tony Soprano? Oh, I'm sure a lot of people want to be Tony Soprano. Really? Yeah. I mean, not towards the end, but. I thought he was miserable. He was miserable all the time. I think the whole series, yeah. I think guys want to save the world. They don't want to kill their friends.

Yeah, that's why Reacher is so good, right? He's fucking taken out his buddies, his his childhood friends because of the poor Ralphie. Yeah, poor Ralphie. Yeah. I don't know. I think you may be the only one who's wishing they were Tony Soprano. I don't think most people watch that series and be like, man, I wish I was living the life of Tony Soprano.

I don't know. He's rich. He's very powerful. There's got to be some mobsters that are like, it would be nice to be Tony Soprano. Mobsters, I can't say the key word there, but not normal folk. Normal folk don't want to be, have to go out and- You want to want to try it for a day? And throw their friend to the fishes because they broke some rule.

Dude, I legitimately feel bad when I cut people off in traffic. I can't shake down a cynic guy for his fucking motel money. I can't do any of it. I'm going to have to solve this. He got them to get though. What's that? He got them to get. You have to get them to get.

No, I know. I know, but I can't do it. I get ripped off constantly because I just can't argue. And there's something too, and I hate to admit it because I know the internet. The internet is so shitty. No. You know what I'm saying? It is so shitty and it's so smarmy.

It just really – Those are just Get-Em's posts. I saw people commenting on Mission Impossible and with that kind of like, oh, let me guess, Ethan Hunt saves the world by doing something insanely impossible. Thoughts, Mission Impossible. They think they're smart and they're funny. Then I see the Strangers thing, the new trailer just came out. I see the same kind of – it almost feels like it's written by AI.

Cause I'm like, how could this same level of like shit posting be from two different people are like, oh, let me guess 11 points her hand at the evil thing. Her nose bleeds and saves the day. I'm like, yeah, but isn't that just what fuck. Let me guess, Captain America throws a shield. Yeah. It says about December. I'm like, why are you describing the things I want to see in a negative manner? But I will have to say you are hard pressed to not notice that Tom is a little long in a tooth to be doing some of the things he's doing. Had to happen eventually.

I know. Does he look stiff? Is the run still there? Like in the Irishman. Can you pull off the run? He still runs exactly the same. He has a very weird kind of run that is good though. Oh yeah. It's a good run, but it's not your traditionally athletic run.

Yeah. It's kind of very upright. Like he's got a, like he's got a. It's a multi- athletic run. Yeah. It's kind of very upright. Like he's got a, like he's got an iron rod, like inserted in his cavity up his back and it's like, he's very straight up running, but he's going to Brian's pool later that day. What were you going to say though? I was going to say like in the Irishman, I don't know if you saw it or not. Oh, it's of course, there's a movie.

There's like, there's an example of Robert De Niro kicking somebody What were you going to say though? I was going to say like in The Irishman, I don't know if you saw it or not, the Scorsese movie. There's an example of Robert De Niro kicking somebody on the ground in The Irishman. But if you watch Goodfellas when he's kicking Billy Bats, it's like it's too, it looked bad. Look, who am I to tell Marty Scorsese how to shoot a movie? But I'm like, he probably should have shot up at him like he did in Goodfellas because when there's a wide shot and he's like, he's like barely balancing on one foot to try to stop him, like he looked old.

Clickety clackety and all that shit. Yeah. I mean, and of course, like, I don't know how many crazy ass stunts he does in this new movie, but there's plenty of them, but it's still hard to swallow some of the stuff he's doing. Pete Slauson Yeah, about those stunts. I know the big stunt is he's on a biplane. And I would just like to point out that in 2020, there was a movie release called The Impractical Joggers movie that ended with us putting James Murray on a biplane for real and sending him up and

doing loop to loops and all that stuff. And he had to climb out from the seat to get to the top of the plane and stuff like that. And he did it. Yeah. I mean, so, you know, that's insane. I'm not saying that Tom Cruise saw that movie and was like, that's, that's it. Let's do what they did. I'm just saying like, you gotta come to your own conclusions. I believe that IJ made it look smoother than Tom did.

Like, you- Well, we didn't have to look good or cool. Like, the point of Austin was to make him look like an asshole, you know what I mean? So maybe not. Did he really do that? Is it what I'm looking at? Yeah, he did. 16 times.

He set his parachute on, or is that CGI? No, it's not real. He set his own parachute? No, I mean, come on, man. That sounds pretty awesome. Yeah, it's badass and it takes balls, you know, the size of Nebraska. Right. But it doesn't automatically mean the movie's going to be good though, unfortunately. No, it just means the stunts are going to be cool. Yeah, the stunts are amazing. And then you think, when you sit there and you go, Jesus

man, he did this. It is, you know, you're very impressed with his commitment, but you know, that doesn't mean the screenwriters achieve their goal. Well, that's kind of on him too, too a little bit because he has total control over that movie. Nobody's telling Tom Cruise what to do, say, nobody's giving him a script that he has to do. He can do literally whatever he wants. So it's kind of on him. Yeah.

I think Tom Cruise can be at that point where he doesn't have anybody in his life to be like. He does not. I know that. I've heard that from people that were really, I know people that have worked with them and said, he is a really nice guy, but he's the, the buck begins and ends with him and you just carry out what he wants you to do. It's hard to argue with it, right? Yeah. Again, they go said like- Success is- They go out of their way to say he's super nice and respectful, but like it's not a collaboration like you would think.

Yeah, and to his defense, you know, what Brian said, I mean, his success and those movie success are, he has to get the credit when it's super successful, and I still think they are. I mean, this is just one schlub, me saying I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous ones. Yeah, but you did stick up for every other one. Yeah, I did. I flew my Tom flag high and proud. You should still. I still do. It's not like this one movie. If he makes another Mission Impossible movie, I'm there day one.

Okay. Yeah. There's nothing he can do that would make me stop going to see Tom in Mission Impossible movies. I like that. There's nothing he could do. Nothing. That's how I. There's no stumble in, in any of his movies that can make me go, I've seen enough, I don't want to see you anymore.

Oh, I thought you meant real life. Oh no. I don't know. And you know what? I'm not one of those guys though too that are like, you know, I don't hate the, I don't like take it out. I like, if he says something I don't agree with. Right.

Guess what? Who cares? I don't give a fuck. I don't like it. I'm he says something I don't agree with, guess what? Who cares? I don't give a fuck. I'm like, I'm not going to go see the movie. I thought I felt that way and I understand that I got cut off at the knees and Bruce Willis never got a chance to make another good one, but I used to feel that way about Die Hard. I was like fucking love the first three.

I don't care what the flaws are. I know they're there. I love them. Fourth one came out. I was like, it's still got me. I'm here for it. Fifth one came out. I was like, I can't believe they released this. This should have been burned. I was like, they never should have released this movie. It's so bad. What was the fourth one again? Fourth one was the one with Timothy. Oh, Kevin was in it. Kevin was in it.

Okay. I didn't know if that was the third one or the fifth one. Third one was New York City with the Bombs and Samuel Jackson. Yes. You didn't like that one. I love that one. Okay. Yeah. Kevin was in it. Kevin was in it. Okay. I didn't know if that was the third one or the fifth one. Third one was New York City with the Bombs and Samuel Jackson. Yes. You didn't like that one. I love that one. Okay. Yeah, I thought you did. I love the first three. I like the fourth one. For Staten Island, of course. Yeah. They mentioned Staten Island a couple of times in that movie and that's all it takes

for me. But yeah, I love the first three. Fourth one I like. I don't not like the fourth one. It's just it wasn't rated R. Now why do you need a rated R movie? Because that tells me that the violence is going to be toned down a little bit. Okay. In fact, in the fourth one, he goes yippee ki-yay mother and then an explosion cuts off the fucker. And that to me is the beginning of the end. Selling out, you think? A little bit of selling out. To get more spany.

This is what got you here. You're being kind of, hey motherfucker, got you here. You did it in the second one, you did it in the third one, you fucking cut it off with an explosion in the fourth one and I still swallowed it. And by the time the fifth one came on, it was just- Was that with his son? Yeah, in Russia. Never saw it.

Was it released theatrically? It was. one came on. Was that with his son? Yeah, in Russia. Never saw it. Was it released theatrically? It was. I went to a, I went to a, all day, I watched all four of them in the theater. There was a, there was a marathon. Really? Leading up to the fifth one. Now you're hardcore. Yeah. No, you have, you have the top billing as the- I did it. As the biggest fan of Die Hard. I love the fucking Die Hard. To me, Die Hard is one of the greatest movies ever made. I love it too.

And then the fifth one, it was like getting a hand job all day. And then when you go to get to the sex, she's like, no. I mean, it was just like a sinking feeling in my stomach as I watched it. There's nothing good in it. Nothing. It didn't make any impact whatsoever, right? It kind of came out silently and kind of left the theater silently. I don't remember it at all.

I remember seeing it in Walmart and thinking to myself, I don't remember this coming out. Was this released to direct a video, I thought at times. Yeah. And I remember being like, I'll give him a six one, but- But he never got a chance to do it. He never got a chance. And I just didn't, I wouldn't have hope if they were going to do it anyway. They were going to do a TV show for a while that was set in the 70s about John McClain when he was a rookie cop in New York. And they were going to have Bruce Willis shoot wraparounds for it. So he was going to be in New York and they were going to have Bruce Willis shoot wraparounds for it.

So he was going to be in it, but it was going to be flashbacks. And I went, it's fucking awesome. And then he really, you know, and then unfortunately, you know, everything happened with them. What AI? They could probably remake that voice now though. Yeah, I guess they could, or they could just make the show about him in the seventies as a cop. But I think at a certain point you're like, so this guy just had a billion bad days?

I get it. Man, I miss Bruce Willis. It's such a shame. Such a shame. He's still with us. I know, but he's not making movies anymore. You know what I mean? And you think about these movie stars where you're like, I was trying to explain to these kids as it used to be like- Are you Uncle Q? Yeah, nobody calls me Uncle anything. Can we watch Uncle Q? Can we watch something without murder mayhem?

We watched Lilo and Stitch. Okay, you did watch? Yeah, we, you know- Oh, you got screeners of the new Lilo and Stitch? The animated one. Okay. He's been looking like the balls, man, if he's Uncle Q with his newest latest. Yeah, and the parents definitely were protective of what I was showing them.

It wasn't like, but their father was a little bit more like me than you. I feel like, no, these fucking kids, we know, we're gonna watch it. So be, you know, like in Predator when the bodies are skinned, hanging from the trees, we, you know, it was like leave the room, then come back type stuff. Kids next we're watching Death Wish 2. You're gonna love it. Warm uncut. It's got the best scenes ever. Have the kids at school told you about Faces of Death. I was watching faces of death when I was 12. You know what I'm saying?

It was a different world. I know, but wasn't it a better world? That doesn't matter. You have to take into consideration the kids today are just built different. No, I look at it. That's really not true. Then they're watching everything on their phones. They must see far more than we ever did.

No, no, they're not even allowed to say like the word death. They have to like be unalive. Unalive, yeah. They're more, I noticed, I noticed, and you know, the eight-year-old, we didn't really watch all that stuff, but like I noticed like, it's not even like that. They just get bored. They don't shoot movies like they used to. They don't, it like they used to. It's not quick cuts. You have

to watch a movie and pay attention. It's just not there for them anymore. They're used to TikTok videos. That's going to be a big factor in the way art, these kids who grow up and when they create their art, it's going to be a lot different than what we grow up on. Probably it's gonna be a hell of a lot different coming from a world where they only watch something for a minute and move on. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, like there were parts that like, in Terminator that you have to send them out of the room and stuff like that. And he was just like, you know, it's just as what it is, man know It's just is what it is man They get to you I mean there's Arnold's backside is everywhere no, but also I It's also like a room with like 13 people in it, you know what I mean? So there's a lot of talking and a lot. It's not like we're watching it to be fair to the kids

Mm-hmm. It's not like everybody's just sitting there. What sitting there, we're all talking about our own memories in the movie. So you're not the only adult in the room and then when Arnold's butt comes on, you're not like- Shooing everybody out. No, no, no. Thirteen kids out of the room. I need some alone time. We watch most of them outside on a screen and stuff like movie nights and stuff like that

type stuff. Could you show them jaws and stuff like that or is that too intense? That was a discussion and the oldest was like, I don't want to watch it. Because it was too and- A little scary. A little too scary. How old is the oldest? I think 11 or 11, something like that. I had to leave the theater when Jaws was on. It was too much for me. So I mean, it's not as if

I'm a pussy, right? So let's not be so hard on your- I'm not being hard at all. let's not be so hard on your... I'm not being hard at all. I know who you guys are. When did Raiders of the Lost Ark come out? 1981. Okay. That is the first movie I saw in theaters.

I was five then. And I remember watching that guy's face melt off. And I remember being terrified of it. And I couldn't wait to see it again. It's just the way it is. That's what I felt about Jaws. Jaws was the first movie I saw twice in theaters. And I wanted to go back so bad because of just the ending with Sean in the Jaws mouth,

getting bitten down, blood squirting everywhere. Yeah. It's cool. I don't know. I don't want to judge these kids. You can't even get on the same wavelength as them. The shit that is pouring into their heads and ears day after day after day is so beyond different from the shit that we were dealing with at the time. It's fucking crazy. It's a scarier world too. It's fucking crazy. It's a scary world too. It's like, you know, it is what it is. Is it though, man?

I mean, like, you know, you have this thing with Iran going on right now, but like, Christ, we grew up like during the Cold War where every fucking minute it was like, you know, the test patterns on TV and shit and threat of a nuclear war breaking out. Right, but we couldn't access footage of it though, the way that they can't. That's true. Yeah, that's true too. We saw whatever we saw in the news. It was within a second you can see Armageddon.

Like, like war atrocities and shit. Yeah. On your screen, on your little phone screen, you could see war, unfiltered war. That's what a mutilated guy looks like. Right. Yeah. And that's different. And it was the news at seven o'clock, whatever time, which I never watched because who gave

a fuck? Other than that, you don't watch it. There was no news. And the newspaper came once a day. And that was for old people other than the comics. Give me Bloom County. I'll read that and the rest, I think, gives a shit. And I don't think it's the same anymore.

I think it's just 24 hours a day and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't know. I do know's just 24 hours a day and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't know. I do know I don't have kids. So once again, my name is Paul. This is tween y'all. Yeah, I don't know. The more I know, the less I know, right, Walt? Yeah. And I can honestly say I thought about it last night because I was watching the Stanley Cup finals and somebody texted me. It was like World War III might have just kicked off. And I looked online to see what he was talking about and it was Israel bombing Iran.

And it really made me realize I haven't gone home and turned on regular TV in years. I go home, I watch something with my wife, she goes to sleep, and then I go into the family room with the dogs and I put on Pluto. So I have been totally oblivious to the news. Is that even going on? Yeah, for a long, long, long time. I'm living a Sunday Jeff Existence. Wow. Yeah, and other than my phone. I am NOT

exposed to news and I don't know if it's good or bad. I'm just saying it's weird. I just it just dawned on me like I have not watched anything about Pluto and God knows how long And I don't know if it's good or bad. Well, if you were watching news, what the fuck are we going to do with that information anyway? Yeah, that's always the thing. Yeah. What are you going to do except throw up your hands at the riots in LA? What are you going to do

aside from be like, well, I hope this doesn't play out too much with the Iran-Israel shit? You know, it's like you just watch the news and you're like, well, I hope. Yeah. I was asking earlier, like how long have you heard about the, the bang in the drama of we, we must not let Iran have a nuclear weapon? I mean, how long have we heard that? It feels like a long, long time to me. How come it's taken them so long to get their shit? Like how come it it's taken decades to taken decades to make a nuclear weapon for them? Can't they find that fucking shit on a YouTube video, how to make it?

I don't think it's- How to enrich uranium. I mean, I think the equipment to make it's pretty specialized and pretty expensive and a lot could go wrong. I just don't think it's not easy. But it's been decades and they still haven't been able to have one yet. I guess they're super close if we're to believe that's why now is the time that they've taken action Israel to. They're pretty close, I guess, and that's why they've gone into bombing

all the installations. But I'll be damned if I'm like, I haven't heard this since the eighties though. And I'm like, what the fuck is with those guys that they just can't get their shit together? What are they doing all day? Yeah. It's like, is it that hard to like order some equipment or maybe turn or do some MacGyver into some existing equipment to get what you got to get?

Where you can get everything on the black market. Like why can't they buy their own? Yeah, but what are you getting? What are you getting on the black market? Where are you getting it from? Does it work? Soviet country. How does it work?

The Soviets can't build shit. Are they famous for their shit breaking down all the time, those guys? They have nukes? Yeah, but the Soviet is, you know, or at least for a long time had a reputation of just, they just didn't have well-made stuff. There's something about, I think, and you're talking about a guy that doesn't fucking know

anything really, but I just think that there's something about a stable society like we've had for so long that allows these professions to thrive and research to thrive and the technical know-how to thrive. I think some of these countries just aren't stable enough to hold it together long enough to support these programs. But the Iran regime has been in place since Jimmy Carter. As it the same people? I don't know.

Sometimes you see those things with like, here's Iran in the 60s. Everybody's partying and shit. Chicks in bikinis and now they're just like, and here's Iran now. And it's just like, if they're spending all their time being like, cover that shit up. Well, you know, since the hostages, it has been a fanatical kind of leadership. So I, I really, like it must be insanely hard to build a nuclear program And think about this the most brilliant fucking scientists in Iran who could help them build that bomb Might be a woman and they're like fuck you She might be the most skilled fucking person who can get it done.

They're like, you know, get- Stoner. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, this is what you're dealing with. So it's like, you know. I never saw that movie hitting figures, but wasn't the point that like half the reason that the NASA was so successful was because they had these brilliant

women working on the mathematics of it all. And it was just the guys being like, all right, all right, all right, they did the math, but we're the ones that did all this. So it's just, you know, you're cutting off half your talent pool. Yeah. Based on a Stone Age ideology. You know, and that's not great. Yeah. Um, based on a Stone Age ideology. You know, and that's not great.

No, no, no, but it's, uh, I mean, it can go through far. And I think that's the difference between Terminator three and Terminator. Darn fate. It was a joke. It just sucks. That was a joke. It just sucks that the world always has to be in a constant state of turmoil.

Right? It just is like, it's just fatiguing. Nobody can just fucking chill the fuck out. Yeah. And live life. That's the word going around these days to all these special interest groups. This is like fatigue. Like tired of fucking.

Just stop yelling. Just fucking, you know, bitching and moaning and killing. You know, you have such a limited time. You know, why are you going to waste it on this fucking and these destroying rather than having fun? I guess that's how you have your fun though. Cause there's bad guys. There's just bad guys. There's always got to be bad guys.

There's always bad guys. Yeah. I'll bet you the looting in LA is fun for some people. It seems like it would be stressful even to be doing that. I don't know. I saw these guys, they broke into an Apple store. Some of them got locked in, so they got arrested. But then these other guys, they steal phones that say- How do you get locked into an Apple Store? Isn't it made of glass? It is made of glass.

They couldn't get out though. They were running and crashing into it. They couldn't get through. Jesus. But the – fuck, I totally lost my train of thought now. Oh, they steal five phones and on the phones it says – they showed it on TV. This phone is trackable. Do not return says, they showed it on TV. It's like this phone is trackable. And they keep it anyway.

Can you do anything with that stolen phone? Can you ever fire it up and use it? Maybe you can fake somebody out and try to sell it, like scam somebody. But that person's never going to be able to use it, right? No. It's going to come back as a stolen property. This was stolen from, yeah. Yeah.

The Apple store, wherever. I don't know, man. I'm not really too hip to what's going on at LA. I didn't even realize there were riots going on. Are you going to LA soon? Oh, they're mostly peaceful protests. Don't worry. Oh, it's like that again? Yeah, it's like that again.

Okay, okay. Police cars burning everywhere. Sounds- Are you, you have any dates in LA? I always have reasons to go to LA, but nothing that's pressing that I need to go out there. I mean, last time I went there, the fucking city caught fire. You know what I mean? I don't know.

But I'm with you. But you know what that Pluto thing is that you're talking about? It's you just shutting that out and enjoying your life. It wasn't intentional. It wasn't like I made a decision. It was like, I'm done, I'm not consuming news. It just became just something that happened. It wasn't like I did it on purpose. But then I realized, I'm like, wow, I haven't missed it. I got to get rid of

my cable. The only reason I keep cable is for sports.. Otherwise I don't even watch TV. I'm on Pluto. Let me cheer you up a little Q. Yeah. Guys, let's talk about the real MVP of your wardrobe.

All right. Well, curator's event went well. It went very well. Curator was walking on.

The curator did a fucking solid job. He was walking around on cloud nine. Yeah. Yeah, he was very. He's a humble guy, curator. He's a great dude, man. Great dude. If I had 20 curators, I don't know if there's anything I couldn't achieve. I think we can get back to the moon.

Wow. You got a nuclear program going. I think we could get another man on the moon, a TSD ant on the moon, if I had 20 curators. Just planting a four-color demon's flag on the moon. Yeah, he's a great man. He gave me a moment of panic. Why? Because I know his name's Chris and I called him Chris. Oh, you're not supposed to say his real name. Oh, that's why. I have no idea.

Oh, and when I said, when I said, hey, Chris was gone, he gave me a look and I was like, that was like, I was like, did I just get his name wrong? I was like, this guy's been in my life for years. I was like, do I not know his name? Like I was like, this guy's been in my life for years. I was like, do I not know his name? It put me in such a, it really threw me. I think it probably threw him that you knew. You got guys, you're mispronouncing everybody's name, you call Rup Rub. So people have a perception of you that you're kind of like... So soft in the head. Yeah, mushmouthed.

So I think when you probably knew his real name, it probably threw him for a loop. And it probably was, he probably was afterwards very touched that you remembered. Well, it came off like, and then I had to pull Chuck aside and be like, dude, I'm like, I'm feeling an asshole. I was like, I really liked that guy. I go, I've been calling him Chris. I go, do I have it wrong? And he's like, no, no, that's his name.

That's his name. Yeah. He did a great job. He did such a great job, man. It was so happy. And I love seeing the people. It's fun to look at that crowd and like recognize so many of them, you know, and like, like so many of them.

Oh, and it was, it was cool. It was neat. It was a very intimate theater, but to kind of surprise, I don't know, it was nice that we could do a little Q&A to show that we appreciate people coming from all over the nation to celebrate our podcast. It's like, it doesn't go unnoticed and it's fucking, like I said, I don't know of any other pods that do something like that, have something like that, that, that kind of grassroots thing that, yeah, sure.

Other pods could be like, Hey, we're going to have a gathering like in Las Vegas. We're going to do live shows. We did nothing. We did nothing. And they just came out. They did it on their own to come out here. And it was a real shot in the arm for me. I came up with some things. Like I was so energized by seeing the excitement from the listeners. I came up with some ideas for 2025 into 2026. Wow. Okay. That are not all great ideas. I want to bounce some off of you and see if you guys like these things or if you're like, no, I don't think that's a good idea. Um, for the regular TSD, there's some things that I thought would be,

everybody kept asking me, you know, I would like to see, will there be more games on regular TSD? Okay. They feel that, um, kind of move them over to the Patreon side. So I was thinking maybe a game, at least one game every two months. I love it. Six games a year.

Sounds fair. Well, let me ask you something. Can it also just make your life easier? Yeah. Why don't you, instead of saying new games, how about just games every two months? This way you could throw a dyslexia out. Oh, you know what? Am I not? You're right.

At least just a game. A game. Didn't say new game. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think that's. Could be existing, could be new.

Yeah. Games. At least six games. Sounds like heaven to me. Yeah. Okay. This one, I'm very curious to think about, thinking about this idea. One new potential TSD town member introduced on free TSD every other month. So that's again, six new faces introduced. Not saying they automatically

just because they're introduced, they become mainstays. But there's the potential then to grow the universe. To see if they have potential. So not existing people, you're talking new people. Bring a new person in once every other month, so six times a year, meet a new face. And if we click, great. If they don't click, all right. I'd like to see the wording of that changed again slightly. Like an increased focus. I would say instead of committing to a number, just be like an

increased focus on growing. You can tell this guy's been in some TV meetings. TSD town. Yeah. Like, like an increased effort on bringing in new members to TSD town instead of committing to a firm number. Okay. So what about the people who get rejected?

Do we won't tell them they just will never come back. I'm not saying they're even listeners. We won't tell them like, Hey, you're trying out your auditioning. You're auditioning to become a semi regular person who appears, you know, on a somewhat regular basis. We're just like, it could be somebody that in our lives that has no idea we even do a podcast and be like, hey, I do a podcast. Would you like to come on and spend an hour with us talking to us?

Yeah, I love it. I just thought, you're right, maybe promising six, but it's only six a year. To me, that feels like in 52 weeks, six is not a lot. Well, talk to me the 48th week when you've only done three. I have in my notes, new fresh blood injected into the TSD vein. Right? Because we, our last couple. That's exactly the sort of vague promise I like.

That is fantastic. Yes. Well, look at the last three injections into the TSD vein. We had Sexy Lawyer, right? We have the Doctor. Dr. D. Yeah. People loved and want her back on doing more things.

And Jimmy. And Jimmy. Hard to argue with any of those. Right? Yeah, hard to argue with any of those. So we're going to, I mean. But they're organic is the thing. They're organic.

They came to us through the material of the podcast rather than throwing out a lasso to find people. In my eyes or in my head, I wasn't now actively going out and looking for people for this reason. I already have people in mind. Got it. Okay. Okay. And I'm like, I think this guy is interesting. And I think it would be fun to hear his story.

That's what I love. I'm not looking just like, hey, the guy's checking me out at Walgreens. I'm like, I need somebody. I promise six a year. I'm just not grabbing anybody because I'm on a time crunch. I went to this idea is when I went to see Cousin Brucie, the concert with Cousin Brucie, I saw how happy people were hearing songs that they've heard a million times. Okay. So I thought, why can't we do the same thing with stories? And once a month, we would tell classic stories picked by the listeners years after we first told them, but with a new kind of maybe there's a perspective.

I don't remember half of that. Yeah. Maybe there's a new- Don't we do that anyway? I don't think we've ever, like I think the Dickie story told again, just as a tryout to see if it was as enjoyable. That's one of my favorite fucking things that we've ever done on the show. So I would love to, we could do a test with the Dickie story.

I think. Would your wife be willing to come in for that retelling of that? She's involved. She was there, but I can almost guarantee you, I don't think it's a bad idea. I think even, I'm not even saying she wouldn't do it, but I just fear that she doesn't remember it at all the way I do. Like the way you remember it. It was in passing.

Wouldn't that be funny too? Yeah. I'm a Frank Five, Mrs. Five situation. I call it though, this segment, Retell'em Steve, Dave. Hey, all right. Nice. And it would be, I think it could be fun or it could fizzle out, but give it a shot and see it, especially if listeners are involved being like, this is my favorite story.

Can you tell us, recount. There's no reason not to try that as an experiment. That's pretty fun. This one I'm not so sure you guys will like, but I call it Operation Jujubeen. Once maybe every other month we have a former listener come on either in person or on the phone and we find out why they left the anthill and what we have to do to make them come back. Haven't we done that before? How have we ever done it?

Yeah, we did it once with Lucy Muckinies from Twitter. She unfollowed us on Twitter. Yeah. And we called her. She lived in the UK and we called her to ask her why. Oh. And she joined us. It was overwhelming, right? It wasn't for any reason. She was just like, I like it. Yeah, she was like, yeah, I was just, yeah, no reason. But then she refollowed us and started listening again.

Yeah, I like her. I haven't talked to her in years, but I always liked her. You know, kind of find out what happened on the listener's point, why they stopped listening. Oh my God, you want to open us up to that sort of criticism? Do you think it's going to be because you think it's always going to be because they just didn't like it anymore? You don't think it could be be like, hey, I had a kid or I got a new job or I moved or I got a new relationship. It could be. A new love interest. I'd be fascinated to hear it.

I always thought that that was the fork in the road for me personally. I know you guys didn't take it so hard, but when JuJuBean, remember her? Yeah. Oh yeah. She stopped listening. I was like, damn. You're talking about JuJuBe? Yeah, JuJuBe. Was it JuJuBe or JuJuBe? Yeah, JuJuBe. Yeah.

Oh, she stopped listening? I have not heard from her in quite some time. Oh, wow. Iujubee. Was that Jujubee or Jujubee? Yeah, Jujubee. Oh, she stopped listening? I have not heard from her in quite some time. Oh, wow. I'm assuming yes. She was hardcore. Yeah, I thought she was ride or die. Yeah, no, I don't think so. If she stopped listening, I almost don't want to know the reason.

Well, I'm not saying her personally. I'm just using her name. Because it's got to be something horrible in her life or something. Actually, I got to change it. So it's not operation juju bean. It's juju B. Yeah. Maybe that's why she stopped listening.

I didn't care enough to get her name right. I thought that would be interesting. What other pod has done that too? Like reconnect and be like, Hey, you used to love us. What happened? Yeah. I would like to screen those stories before we put them on. You don't want to be sandbagged?

No. I'm not looking for any more sandbags. And even though it's June, thinking about Christmas. Oh, okay. And I think I've got a winner. The 2025 TSD Christmas Special The 2025 TSD Christmas special will be a Christmas or Hanukkah themed One True Three tournament. All three stories have to be about Christmas and we have a new One True Three tournament based all on holiday stories. Okay. I like that.

It's easy. I already, a story instantly popped in my head. And now you've got six months to come up with your other ones? With the two lies, yeah. Everybody start planning now, and don't wait until the day before we record. I like it. I got to say after we did the episode this last weekend, and I was home, I was looking at that tub and I was like, I really want you and Frank, really want you and Frank Vibe to record an episode for my tub.

Now, I don't really want cameras though. That's a bit of a tough cameras. So like, what's the, I mean, so the only person who sees it is you. That's the idea. That's not enough for you. All I can think about when I look at that tub now is Walter Frank vibing it. Yeah, somebody came up with a Bert and Ernie with Frank and Tub. Oh really?

Yeah, pretty quickly, it was funny. But I thought that really solves a lot of planning. I don't have to plan anything then. It's like, it's all on the people who are invited to the tournament. Got to have three stories. Okay. the people who are invited to the tournament. Gotta have three stories. And they've gotta be Christmas themed. And that takes care of a major episode for us.

Everybody looks forward to the Christmas episode and everybody wants a one, two, three tournament again. Sure. Yeah. Two words, a one stone. Love it. We gotta lock Ming down now. For a date for him?

Yeah, we can't do it without him. He was there for the last one. Remember he called Mike? No, I know. That's why we need him. He never not delivers. And you're going to love this next one, Q. And finally, with what the curator pulled off last week, I want to tap him to help make the tesdy awards show a reality in 2026 and put it out as a free episode. Wow. He'll get it done.

I believe he will get it done. Yeah. I think that's where we implement and utilize the curator skills as at organization. Rub it up. Not you, Rupert. It's 11 something of you in the top. Yeah, that's great. Uh, yeah, I, I believe that, that, uh, that that's it'll happen. I think he can organize categories for awards and nominees.

He's probably gonna earn the right to, I think, step up to a bigger situation. This is a massive undertaking, though. This is a lot of responsibility, but the man has showed I think he's more than capable of taking on a task this big. I agree. I would even be willing to give him one of my phone numbers to talk to me. Maybe

not the one you guys have, but there are several. Oh, you have a burner phone for the fringe. I have three. Not the Curator's Fringe. I have levels of phone numbers. Really? I didn't know this. Wow. That's very celebrity savvy. Well, you learn the hard way. You do learn the hard way. But yeah, yeah. I'd love to work with them on that. What do you think? In 2026, call it the Tesdys, like the Dundies, and we'll have

different categories, different nominations. We'll have presenters. We'll make it a big thing. Love it. And it'll be a major event and the curator and myself will try to pull it off to what you imagined it to be. Yeah, I love it. I have some Patreon ideas. I have some notes too on that still.

I'll dig them up and send them. I have Maverick on the mic, a Ming Chen hosted show and he picks his cohost. It doesn't even have to be me, you, just a show, a very first on the Patreon where we're not involved at all. Okay. And it's a Ming Chen. Turn them loose and watch subscribers roll in. Or do you think that may not be the case?

I think he'll pick a hot chick that'll be boring. Let the man cook, Brian. Yeah, I mean, he should be able to pull, I mean, he knows so many people, he should be able to pull in somebody interesting. Yeah. Even if he has to do it via like Zoom or something. I just was thinking, you know, there's a lack of Ming Chen. Not because we don't want him, because he's, you know, he's living his dream

life. Right. He's out there. Yeah. You know, he's living the Maverick life. And I think the show should be called Maverick on the Mic. I love it. If he wants to do it, yeah.

If he wants to do it. I can't see, I mean, I just wonder if- I'm just seeing the image of Ming butt fucking Mike, like Maverick on the Mic for the show. Talking about getting numbers. of Ming butt fucking Mike, like Maverick on the mic for the show. Talk about getting numbers. I kill is not the right word, but that podcast I was going to do with audio boom, the five stupid questions has gone away. Oh, you're not going to do it anymore?

Okay, that's good. Because I have a show for Brian, a show for me, and a show for you. So that's good that you have some free time now. But anyway, back to, but is there a possibility though that people will be like, well, I'm subscribing, I'm paying my monthly subscription for TSD content. If I fucking want it. I think we try it and then we take the temperature, see what happens. Okay.

Yeah, I just thought it'd be an interesting choice. Are you going to hear people bitch? Yes, you will. That's not what I want. We try it and then we take the temperature, see what happens. I just thought it'd be an interesting choice. Are you going to hear people bitch? Yes, you will. That's not what I want. I want 100% approval rating. 100% approval rating like NASA. Right.

I can't have any mistakes. I have this idea for a show. I don't watch Survivor, but I'll find somebody who knows how it's played. Sure. And we have a survivor TV show that exiles some of the TSD town residents for one year. So they form alliances and I'm willing to see, I want to see who's willing to fuck over other residents. Yeah, but what if you lose a sexy lawyer for a year or Jimmy the Hair Guy for a year? You haven't said Sunday Jeff yet, so I'm still up for that. They're all on the table. I just assumed it's sexy and rough.

I just want to make oxygen go away. We're not going to make Sunday Jeff go away. Right, but Johnny Law is in Boston, so him being away for a year. Oh. He's listening to this right now. Oh, Johnny Law. He's not on that often though. Yeah, that's true. It would be- But to not know he's-

To not know you can't come on. He might cancel a summer camp trip with me now. So when the three who are exiled, so we pick four, only one wins and the three who lose are exiled for a year. When they return to the mic, there's excitement and catching up. We find out what they've been up to for the last year. There's a lot of stories now, a lot of catching up to do. And also the winner can also create his own show on Patreon. I mean, I love it. I love the mercenary.

But I think survivor people love that shit where they, so where they see how people are willing to fuck over their alliances. Maybe the note I would give this would be like, instead of making it a negative, maybe there's a positive outcome that they're contributing, that they're trying. A year's a long time. There's stakes. Because if they were fucking, not this, I'm not saying this, but let's say that instead of the losing prize was you're exiled for a year, let's say that instead of like the losing prize was your

exiled for a year, the winning prize is you're in the fourth seat for a month. Not that, but you know what I mean? If there's a positive, everybody's- For the winner? Yeah. What's the ramifications for losing? You're not getting the prize. Oh, okay.

So make it more about winning, more about losing. Yeah. This way we're not losing a Johnny Law or Jimmy the hair guy. All right. So what if we take Jimmy and Johnny Law off the table and we go like maybe Frank Three, guys who don't really appear all that often. I don't think you're going to get the rabid battle then that you're looking for. I don't think Frank Three is going to care all that much. I'm curious.

Didn't he write us off at one point on his own? No, no, he still, we're still, we're still cool with him. No, I know he came back to the fold, but wasn't there a period where he was like, fuck this, or am I not at- I don't know, not that I recall. No, I think he had some personal stuff going on, and that's why he was- So it wasn't about me?

No. No. No. No. No. Do you remember the first season of Survivor with the way one of the guys like chased everybody off as he was naked the whole time?

Do you remember? Well, I mean, I already had an idea for that already. I was going to order, you know, the green suit that you wear sometimes. I was going to order flesh colored ones. Like a nude body suit. Everybody looks nude, but they're not really nude. I just thought it was a cool visual. That's pretty funny.

Yeah. I already had that in mind forever plays. I was going to have to wear that for, but I thought it'd be interesting and it's a different kind of take on the Patreon to just some, a cool kind of different kind of show. Uh, I can't take credit for this one, but this is my show idea for me. Uh, Brian Rupert, Rup came up with this one and I think

it's genius. It's just, I drive around with a different TESD town member for one hour and we talk cartoons and music in a show called Cartoon Tunes. I mean, I would watch that. Yeah. I thought that's a fucking simple idea that really appeals to me where I can just talk about two things that I love, like cartoons I grew up on and music.

And you get good video with that too. Yeah, and I'm going to do that and every person I go out with, we're going to go to Stewart's and order food. Stewart's? Where the fuck are you driving to? Where's there a Stewart's in there? In Old Bridge. Old Bridge, okay.

Yeah, or Matawan. All right. I don't know if there are any left. Well, I guess we can't do this in the winterson? Uh, in Old Bridge. Old Bridge, okay. Yeah, or Matawan. There's a, yeah, we can. All right. I don't know if there are any left. Well, I guess we can't do this in the wintertime. The stores have been closed. Uh, for Brian Johnson. Mm-hmm. Um, I know you love this show.

I don't know if you still love it, but our version of TezD's Town's Funniest Home Videos, there's a million videos on the internet now. Right. You can, you could find some of the great, craziest, funniest videos and you host it and you do the narration and you pick two to three

people in Tesdee tend to be your writers and you know, like you guys get together and you riff on these videos. Yeah. Okay. And put out our clone version of that. I like that. I like that.

Isn't it? To me it's like, and it gives like, that's a lot of work, prep work, but. Sure. What else you got? I'm doing it anyway. I happen to see a hundred funny videos a day anyway. Right? I know you love that show though.

Some of them don't even have people being lit on fire. So no necklacing then. Yeah, they can't be torture videos. It's gotta be lighthearted. I know with Overkill, I bring in Serial Killer sometimes and that's the tone of the show. But I thought you grab two guys that you're like, Hey, here's the videos I'm going to put on this episode. Give me some narration that, you know, some funny stuff I could say about it.

Or you, or you want it just to be your own soul writer. I don't know. There's, I don't know, but I thought it was a, I thought it was a fun idea to give it a shot and see what like your version of America's, America's funny some videos and BQ. This is the game changer on the patron. No, you don't have to, you don't even have to do a lot of work either. Six shows a year, six hours where cue the laughs finally becomes a reality. You cultivate and talk about what you want to talk about on a podcast.

You lead it. Yeah. You pick who you want on it. Well, here's the thing. The reason that I killed the thing, the five super questions is because I just, I got to stop working as much. I can't do it anymore. I've just hit the age. But my thought was like, maybe I could start doing that. I was going back and forth on something like this already in my head. So it's like, maybe because I want to do it. I do love the idea and I do love doing it. I was like, maybe I'll just start like doing

one kind of we saying every once in a while for the Tell Them Steve Day Patreon. But then I was like, yeah, but I really do love the comic one. And I was like, we don't have to get rid of it. So it was like, if if I was going to start removing work off my plate, and believe me, I am removing as much work off my plate as possible, I think I'd like to take a bigger swing at iBuy Comics. Yeah. So, not Cue the Laughs. Fuck, I ordered 500 shirts with the logo Cue the Laughs because I thought it was coming back.

I thought you were going to be like, yeah. Yeah. There'll be a bunch of African kids wearing Q the laugh shirts now. You know, I'm just trying to lead my heart towards things that are going to be, you know, fun and not a fucking endless chore. I thought I buy comics. Look, everybody asks me for it. They love that show, but it requires more out of you than people

realize because you have to read and do a little bit of... Yeah, but I read comics all the time anyway. Okay. So I was thinking... I just wondered if it was just too much prep time to get a show under your belt. Yeah, or it could be like, remember like in the middle of the Q&A that we were having the other day at the thing and that guy brought up the Stephen King books at Dark Tower. And I talked to him about it for like two minutes while nobody else in the theater gave a fuck what we were talking about. I was like, oh, something like that would be fun. So maybe it's not even just comic related.

Maybe it's like just a little bit more of like just in the theme of I Buy Comics, but maybe I, you know, although they did Dark Tower comic books and stuff like that. Yeah, so I mean, iBuy Comics could be your whatever pop culture you want to talk about, old new, it's comic book movie or it's comic book or graphic novel. Yeah, if you're willing and you think you want to give six, six episodes a year, I think we could do it. I want to do that. I can make it. I know I can make it easy on you if we just pick a single issue that like really resonates. Yeah. I think I'll commit to doing that six. And it could even be the thing where it's

like, you know, like you say, if it's a dark tower series or something like that, and you haven't even read the dark tower series, but you don't even have to, I could just get that guy in here and talk to him. You know what I'm saying? Like it's like, let's take a little work off your plate. But yeah, okay. I'll commit to that. Six in 2026. Absolutely.

Six iBuy comics episodes. Yeah. Guaranteed. At least. At least. Wow. At least. Yeah. Optimistic. Wow. Wow. At least. Yeah. Optimistic. That is fucking exciting news.

I am telling you, I'm clearing the fucking decks when it comes to my life. I'm getting rid of everything. Everything that I can get rid of, I'm getting rid of. And I think this is something that would be very fulfilling to do with that time. Okay. Yeah. I think about it all the time. I just never get to, you know. So with that time. Okay. Yeah, I think about it all the time. I just never get to, you know, so yeah, yeah. Awesome, all right.

I love that idea. I actually will, I'm telling you, I love it. I love it. Okay, so all the ideas are winners, you're saying? I think so, yeah. Some of the notes on those early ones. Oh, except maybe operation Jujubee. You did sound very Jujubee.

I just don't want, like, I like, don't we have enough people telling us what we did wrong and what we do wrong and like, we're really going to invite that in? I just, to me, I always like the challenge of like winning someone's heart back. I see that. I'll kiss their ass. Let's- For that five bucks a month. Yeah. Like I think Jujubee's- I'll kiss their ass. That five bucks a month.

Which on your end comes down to how much? It's a challenge though. Like every time you take the taxes out and the split and all this other shit. It's a challenge though. Kiss it ass for a quarter. I know. I know we can be, we can mend whatever was the issue that made you stop. I know we can.

We're that good. I'd be, I'd be down for a dude. I just wouldn't want, I would. Do you want me to do it as a Patreon show and you watch one and then you're like, okay, this is fun or like, or, and then you're like, oh, you know what? I'm glad I wasn't involved. Just a little pilot to see it. Okay.

Yeah. I mean, look, ultimately, you guys, obviously, it's okay. Uh-uh, we got something guard dog here. Shh. Like you guys obviously don't have total freedom with Patreon. It's your, like do whatever you want. So if you want to do it, do it. You know what I mean? You don't have to worry about me.

I know, but I understand where you're coming from and it is kind of like, it is open the door like you can go south. The scathing review of yourself, yeah. You can go south real quick. And like, these are the reasons why we're like, oh, okay. You can't change that. I see. Well, the lady who blanketly said like, I don't like you guys anymore.

I want to win her back. She loved us. Not only did she love us, I gave it some thought afterwards and I was like, what are the chances that all three of us changed into unlikable people versus like maybe she changed? See, yeah, that's where you guys, see, I think that's where we differ, not saying you're wrong, but you guys, you're, and it's maybe a healthier mindset. It's not you, it's them. And I'm always, and I'm the type of guy that's like, it's not them, it's me. So it's probably somewhere in the middle.

I fall into that category. It's probably them, it's me. Yeah. So it's probably somewhere in the middle. I fall into that category. It's probably in the middle. Yeah. Yeah. And you're right. It's neither or. It's somewhere in the right in the middle. Yeah.

But yeah, that one, that lady who stopped listening, yeah, that one shook me to the core because she was so nice and positive. Yeah. She loved it. Very. Yeah. That was devastating. I cried myself to sleep many a night.

In the tub. Razor sitting on the edge. Oh no. All right, so I buy comics, cartoon tunes, and Brian Johnson's funniest home videos. Or I don't know how, you can make up your own name. But yeah, you, you watch videos. You love watching videos. I watch all those fell videos.

You, I just thought you, it'd be easy to host against a green screen. Right. And it's fun collaborating with maybe with a couple other guys are like, Hey, here's the videos I want to focus on this episode and you guys. Yeah, that's a good idea. I like it. Show. I mean, there's a videos I want to focus on this episode. And you guys create that kind of show. I mean, there's a reason that fucking show is 35 years. It's been on TV for 35 years. We could do a version of that.

And I think that people would enjoy, not everybody, but I think there's some people that would enjoy us trying something new like that. Something different. Yeah. Well, it's not really different because it's true. There's been a lot of fucking shows like that. It's different for us. Animal Planet, Animal Incubate, Animals. There's so many clones of Heaven Spawn from America's Funniest Home Videos.

Just room for a TSD version. Sure. Why not? Why not us? I was waiting for you guys, since the beginning of clones of other shows, I was waiting for you guys to discover this on your own, but you haven't yet. But you know, the Fonz, Henry Wrinkle himself has a new show debuting on the History Channel on Sunday, where he talks about failed technology that was dangerous, products that came out, like not this, but like how cocaine used to be in Coca-Cola. And he's hosting a show about it. And it's like a talking head type show where he does the hosting and the intro, and then it cuts to experts, quote unquote.

Who aren't even in the room, right? Who aren't even in the room. And I'm in the entire first season of it. Awesome. What's your expertise? Oh, they go to me with like stupid shit where they're like, like if somebody's got to go to an action park on how fucking dumb it is, but I took a different stance that I did it one day and I took a different stance where I argued for the dangerous shit and apparently the producers loved it so much they had me come back and do more because my take was not like, look at how stupid people were.

My take was like, man, it might have been dumb, but wasn't it awesome? And it was like a different take and it's hosted by him. I was waiting for you. Did you meet him? No. He shot it. We passed a message to each other through the producer. But I was just waiting for you guys to discover

it. It's out now. It starts this Sunday night. How will we know though? I figured it's on the commercials have been out for it already. I am not aware. I figured an ant would have thrown it your way or something like that. No, have you known about this?

No, I haven't heard about it. Yeah. And there was a review of the show in the Wall Street Journal this week and they mentioned something specifically I said in conjunction with him. And I was like, this is for sure somebody's going to tell them. I mean, it's two nights from now. And I was sending you guys to be like, making fun of me and being jealous, you know what I mean? Like a little bit of it.

There's definitely jealousy to be involved in a project with Arthur Fonzarelli. I mean, that is as a fucking cool thing for your resume that you have- That's what I thought. Yeah. You're on something with the fucking coolest motherfucker that ever walked the planet. I'll even tell you something else. They asked me and I said no, because look, I just don't have the time and the guy who's making it is a producer, he's a friend of mine. I just don't have the time. Then when the money offer came in, it's like you wouldn't even cross

the street for it. We're talking like hundreds of dollars for hours of work and on a TV show that'll be as well. But when they said then when they got back to me and they said that Henry Wrinkler is on, my only thought was for the moment that Walt and Brian bring it up, we'll find out. I have to do it. So I spent like three days in Manhattan doing it with them and stuff like that. And I was hoping you'd bring it up. You didn't catch it. So it's coming out this Sunday on the history check. I've been going online less and less, so I don't really see as much anymore. Right.

I just figured an amp would see the commercial and point it out to you guys. I was giving you guys some fodder. So, okay. So you're in the commercial too then? I believe so. I haven't seen any of it, but I believe so. They told me that, yeah, that they liked it because apparently I was the only one that took the take of this shit's kind of awesome and stuff like that and they liked it.

But yeah, so that's this Sunday. It doesn't do anything for me. I ain't get residuals. Nothing like that. But I did get to in a way work with the funds from 5,000 miles away and stuff like that. That's pretty cool. Yeah. And I did that for you guys.

All right. Well, I got to watch now. All for sure. Do we know what time it's on? And I did that for you guys. Um, Well, I got to watch now. Do we know what time it's on? I think it's on 10 o'clock, possibly. And the name of it is? Hold on. I'll tell you right now because I didn't even, I didn't really care about any of it. Aside from the fact that you guys were going to.

Hazardous history with Henry Winkler. Haz to hazardous history with Henry Winkler. Hazardous history with Henry Winkler. Yeah. And there's your boy. There he is. Happiest motherfucker. They said he is the nicest. They're like, he's just, he had one, he had,

he had one, he had two rules. One I don't want to say because like, I don't know if you want it out there, but the other one was like, I'm not wearing a leather jacket. He's like, I've worn one leather jacket and it's in the Smithsonian. I was like, I respect the fuck out of this guy, man. How awesome is that? Trevor Burrus It would have been weird if they're like,

we want you to dress like the Fonz for this. Trevor Burrus I don't know what the bit was that they wanted him to do. Trevor Burrus Hey, this is dangerous. Trevor Burrus Yeah, I don't know what it was, but that was it. So yeah, that's the Sunday night. Wow. All right.

Well, this drops Sunday, so people tune in. Yeah, yeah. Didn't play out like I wanted it to. It was a lot of work. It was? Yeah. But it's good. It's good.

It's all good. I think that's it. That's it. You're waiting for a Tom's Eve day? Is that what you're waiting on? I guess, yeah. I good, it's good. It's all good. I think that's it. That's it. You're waiting for a Tom Steve there. Is that what you're waiting on? I guess. Uh, yeah, I don't have anything else. Oh, except for the Air India crash.

I was wondering like, um, the, um, one guy survived. C-11A. I was told. How do you, what do you do after that? You're like. I know, I know it's, I know it's shitty and I know it's like, but it's, I'm like, how is it? How is this possible? That this guy survived?

Yeah. It's weird, right? You say he slid out the emergency hatch. And he's barely like, he's barely. He's got like a banged up face. Oh, so you're saying that like maybe he didn't survive. Maybe he wasn't in the crash at all. I don't know.

I'm really finding it hard to believe that you could walk away with just a couple of scrapes. I read that he was on the plane with his cousin though, or something like his cousin died. Yeah. And that's shitty. That's a bummer. That's shitty for people to speculate like that, but it's so hard to swallow though. You know, I got to say, I felt the same thing. I was like, wow, he doesn't look too bad.

Like when I saw his picture. Yeah. When Guido told me there was a survivor, I assumed that they were alive, but were in no state to even say that they were alive. Yeah. Because people on the ground died. They didn't even look human. I thought they looked like hamburger with... Yeah. But he doesn't.

He looks like he has a little strawberry from falling or something. I mean, statistically, it does happen from time to time. You know what I mean? It has to happen from time to time. I heard that he jumped out the door though. The emergency door, yeah. Wait, before the plane crashed? Yeah, like you know how Bugs Bunny would step off the elevator as it's falling to the ground

and he would be fine? That's what I saw. He opened the emergency thing in Mid-Air. That's what I read. Well, I think we know how the crash happened then. I mean, Jesus, who would do that? There is, now I don't know if it's true, there's so much shit out there and I know people love to like say, don't spread misinformation, but I think I read he said he jumped out the

emergency door. That's how he survived. But how? Have you ever seen the old cartoons when Bugs Bunny's falling down an elevator and it's falling to earth and all of a sudden he just steps out at the right moment and he's fine before it crashes? Yeah, it says, area near survivor escaped through emergency door while brother, not cousin, just seats away from among them, 240 killed.

It says he escaped the fiery wreckage through an emergency door. while brother, not cousin, just seats away from among them, 240 killed. It says he escaped the fiery wreckage through an emergency door. Yeah, after the crash. So he's probably just in the right seat. He's a little puffy, but he just does have one little cut under his eye. He's walking around. Uh, and this one he's in a hospital bed just right in there. But there's footage of him walking and the reporters are trying to ask him questions and he doesn't want to answer any questions.

Which is understandable. You're in shock probably, but this is a strange story. It's either you have been literally plucked by God from this. I don't know. I think it was me. I would have to try to attribute it to, I mean, it's got to be such a mindfuck. How could you wrap your head around it? You know what I mean? Yeah.

You can't. They're like, why me? Why did I get saved? And the truth is, no reason. Just happened that way. No fucking reason whatsoever is the answer. A lot of people look into that. I remember hearing another plane crash, this is years ago, and Edgar got mad at me for this too, where I was like, I just don't understand. People are like, God wanted me to survive. I was like, but he wanted the other 200 people to die? That doesn't make any sense. But he's just like, she's looking for something.

He got all pissy with me about it. You had to try and put it into some perspective. Yeah, but maybe the Perspective is just like fuck. Yeah Like I I guess It's madness there has to be more like I really need to hear more about this story though Like it feels like but when I saw the picture of the plan I only saw the picture of that like tail sticking out of the building You know the the tail of plane and that tail was in pretty good condition. Like there wasn't even a scratch on it.

So I was like, I was like, maybe. But you've seen the fireball. No, I only saw the picture of the guy in the. I don't think there could be even a tail sticking out. Look at that. I mean. I don't know. It's a little dinged up there, but like that's, you know. Hey, yeah, it's cruel for people to say

like something doesn't add up and it's shitty, but human nature is like, how could anybody survive this? I have to hear more. How is it possible that he could walk away unscathed from something like that and everybody else die? I don't know. It's like the, I mean, I just read it, read a fucking article about a guy who won the fucking lottery three times within the past two years and I'm talking big wins and it's just like, how, how does this happen?

Like one was like 30, one was 33 million. It has to happen from time to time. So this is the plane, this is it again? The plane taken off. So this is how high it is. I mean, it, it crashes very fast after taking off. It's a. Oh, you see it stopped getting.

Yeah, it stopped climbing up. It's kind of just lofting to the ground. It's not really like plummeting. Yeah, but I think he's, there's no runway there. So they're landing on houses. Oh yeah. Fuckin course. But like.

They, like. It was a medical school. Yeah. Medical school. Yeah. Oh man. And they hit the lunch room at lunchtime. Oh yeah, fucking course, but like. It was a medical school. Medical school? Oh man. And they hit the lunch room at lunchtime. Oh no.

And it was filled with fuel. Look at that fireball. To go all the way to London, so it was fully fueled. Jesus Christ. I mean, I just said this recently, how like I saw the ring cam of a plane crash, and I've always had the fantasy that. Oh, down in Philly?

That I would survive a plane crash, and then I was like, nobody will ever survive a plane. When you see that fireball, you're like, how can anybody fucking survive that? That's why, that's where I'm coming from before people start fucking hammering me. It's hard to wrap your head around that anything could survive that kind of horrendous fireball, that inferno right there. I just need to hear a little bit more because it's tough to swallow. And it wouldn't be the first time. I mean, there was people in 9-11 that pretended they were in 9-11 and they weren't, so it's not like the first time.

But he has a plane ticket, right? And he has his- I guess so, yeah. His brother was on the plane. Yeah, so there's, it's, yeah, so I don't know. We call those guys third tower survivors. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like when firemen would like lie and say that they were there and she looked at it and be like, we got another fucking third tower survivor over here.

All right. Well, I tell them Steve, Dave.
