Johnson's are fucking bred from a poor stock. Yeah, do some carpet baggery, bro. You love to be kept in check, don't you? That's the best. I'm just, I'm so glad. You're just glad that people are out there keeping you in check. It's the best. Tell them, Steve, Dave.

Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them Steve Dave. What's up, EQ? Hey, bud. And what's up, Walt? And I noticed even Gettom has put out a mic for himself. Oh, yeah, it was chastised to do it, so. Oh, yeah, you were trying it into it. You?

What? You said it. Right out of the gate. This is going on for about 45 minutes before we even turned on the mic. I said put out a mic because I'm sick of you. People asking you questions and you can't answer. All right. Oh, okay.

All right. I thought you made a recent chastise because I don't remember the chastises from a couple weeks ago. There's so many of them. There's somebody to choose from. news got news yeah yeah uh unfortunate news black friday uh people are planning to come here uh we're not going to be doing it this year due to failing health we're all falling apart everybody's fucking falling apart that's the problem i got a bad back get him get him is like he looks like a zombie we're going to have to get a new office with a ramp yeah for this guy soon

Oh, yeah, these doors are not wheelchair compliant. Right. I try to check that out. Well, maybe a Jazzy can get the road. I was thinking about that, yeah. Yeah, you can probably find like a used jazzy on the side of the road. Maybe Marks old. Maybe he might be crashing around in here trying to drive his jazzy all over.

Getham is literally, yeah, I'm really concerned about it being a long-term, you know, him being out out of action for a while with the wall he's got going on. Yeah. I mean, if I, he sits there laughing by that's like. That's a great attitude to have. What's what I'm going to deal about it? Yeah. The doctors don't know what it is. You got to have that positive attitude, you know, and he has it.

Laughing his way to hell, man. But he's not the only one. I mean, you're not, you're not got a pep in your step right now. No, no. I did something I woke up and that was enough. Pulled something in my back. I've been back and forth to the... It's been a long time.

What's it? It's been a while. It's been about five weeks now, yeah, and finally got the epidural, but we'll see if that takes, I don't know. We went to QS for Fantasy Fest, and he was in bed at 9 o'clock on the biggest night, yeah. The biggest night, yeah, like, I was like, I just, I can't go down. I just can't do it. It hurts so bad, yeah. And my original idea was like, because up to the last minute, I was like, I should cancel these flights and just say, fuck it, it'll do it next year.

But I'm like, well, I'm going to be either in pain. here or pain there and at least you know I can see my friends and shit hang out you made a good go of it you didn't miss too much it was really that one night that you were like fuck this yeah so wait a cue as you as you know as one of your oldest friends you weren't like I'm gonna go to bed

too bro I'm not gonna go have fun that's what I said too I was like how would you react if I was like I can't believe you guys went out Troy was down there too with Merrill so it was like all right I have responsibility to show him around you know what I'm saying yeah all right

So you'd be able to use the Troy card. Yeah. He wasn't even done complaining yet. And Fry had done it like at all serious. He's like, oh, you're not going to stay in with me and just turn in early too? Let's watch a movie. I mean, honestly, 50-50. I might have.

I got to say, it wasn't like he was out until three in the morning. No, no. I was, well, there was one night where me and Troy, that night actually, we were out until two. Yeah, you guys were out. But the rest of the night, too, I was like midnight or so. Yeah. Did you text a picture saying wish you were here? No, no, we didn't know.

I just kept testing what do you guys do it now. Share your location with me. But it was still, yeah, it turned out to be a really good time. It was fun. Yeah. Even with the infirmities, it was fun. I got to judge a wet t-shirt contest. Really?

Yeah. The big one. The big one on the island. It was huge. Yeah. There were, I mean, there were well over a thousand people there. I was insane. So you got to look at 2,000 boobies?

no there was oh there were those that thousand contestants no no no no there was a bunch of people in the pool though like lots of people in the pool lots of people hanging around outside the pool um but what was weird about this what t-shirt contest was one it was it was me it was a lady that i had just met who was like 50 this lady lorry who was the best yeah so cool so fun like like when you think of fun people like like ming's one of those fun people this lady is like one of those fun people she was having a fucking blast at this uh at this thing then there was uh the king of um fantasy fest yeah they have a king and queen every year that they that they uh i'm surprised that you haven't just become the uh the de facto oh dude he is the king trust me that guy was king in name only cue is the true king down there everybody knows him now he knows everybody knows everybody Yeah, it's a, I got a nice little community going down there. They're very warm to me.

But no, you have to raise, it's a charity thing. Whoever raises the most money for charity. And this guy who won, this guy, Joe, he was a Marine, he raised 100 and I think, $160,000 for animal charity, ASPCA or whatever down there. Totally, totally fucking served. But he was, he is more beloved than me. Like, that guy everywhere went. People loved him.

People did love that guy. And what a, what a, he never stopped smiling. He's just the best. I know. He never stopped smiling. It was, it was out there, man. Great dude. There he is.

Yeah, there he is. Good guy. Really good dude. They tried to talk me into, um, thrown my hat in the ring for next year. To be the king? To try to raise money and like become the king. But I just feel like, I don't know. That's a little carpet baggerish, isn't it?

To be like, to come down and be like, now I'm the king. I know I could raise the money, but I wouldn't want to do it without, like, you know. What does the money go towards? Well, it's, it's who, everybody raises a few your own charity. Okay. It doesn't matter which charity you raise it for. Okay. So the people who would be the recipients of the charity money are like, well, yeah, do some carpetbaggery, bro.

I don't think anybody down there would mind at all. Like, it's, I just, you know, give me a year or two before I, yeah. I'm doing really good. He truly takes over. Yeah, people are really happy to see me down there. You think you could step on some toes if you go in your yard and go for the crown? I don't know, but I know the way you don't step on toes is by, you know, softly sluffy, monkey, you know what I'm saying? Like, just get in there and do it.

I could see it happening, but not, you know, I don't want to blow somebody out of the water. You know what I mean? That, like, lives down there and is, like, been looking forward to it his whole life. I'm going to be the king. I'm working my ass off this year. I'm going to be the king. And then I just put out a tweet and, like, blow him out of the water. I just don't want to do it.

It just doesn't seem exactly right to me. You know what I mean? But, yeah. But it is great down there. Yeah. So anyway, this, this contest turned out. Well, first off, like, she, the lady was 50, but again, she was, she was so exuberant, so full of energy that you would have thought she was, like, 30.

Yeah. We ran into her everywhere. She was always partying. Yeah. And not inappropriate, like, not like drunk, sloppy. She was just like, I'm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's exactly like a mink. See, in my book, that's a, that's a slur.

Yeah, it was shorthand. You guys, it's all, I guess, the way you say it. Yeah, yeah. Fucking Ming. Yeah. We're all these fucking mings to her out of here. Put your rose-s tinted glasses on him. Look at Ming.

And that's what she's like. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. She was great. And then there was another guy who was a judge there who seemed to be, again, like a local luminary. Matt.

Matt. Yeah, he owns a shop down there called Lost Boy Creations. He's one of the best guys. Matt, yeah. He's awesome, awesome dude. Yeah, he's a very friendly dude. They're all are. You live down there, but he's in a good mood.

There's a reason for it. I didn't see anybody in a bed. No, but he's in a bad. I don't, like I said to Mary Beth, like when the first Q. West, and I didn't hear one person walk away being like, well, that wasn't any fun. No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. Which I think we only have like five tickets left for it, so. Snap them up. If you're on the fence, jump in.

We haven't even announced the, there's some big surprises coming for the lineup this year. Nice. Yeah, it's going to be good. So, but it's a bummer. I know some people are going to be bummed, you know, no Black Friday, this month. But we'll plan something like a Black Friday in July.

Right. Something big. We're all healthier. Yeah, maybe everybody's not, you know, limping around. I do want to go on a record when I had a hose hanging out of my dick. I was here for Black Friday. I remember, yeah. I remember seeing it.

Everybody. Look at my commitment. But anyway, with this wet t-shirt contest, it was not a wet t-shirt contest. It was like literally, I think pretty much everybody in it was a stripper. So they really knew, like, how to get the crowd going. They paid no attention to the judges whatsoever. I'm not a stripper, but I think I know how to get the crowd going. Say no more.

You got it? You think you got it. But it was weird. Like half the people in the pools were naked. It was like, the people in the pool had their, like a lot of girls in the pool had their top off. These girls like,

they never even gave it a, there was like a catwalk. And then at the end of the catwalk was like a little like circular stage with a pole there. Yeah. A place called Dante's. Yeah, Dante's a fucking best fried shrimp on the island. Yeah.

That's what I'm saying. like, who are you? Did you not make that joke constantly? Dude, I wasn't supposed to be there. Because, like, there's boys, like, Matt, Matt's pretty young. He's a pretty young guy. King of Fantasy Fest is pretty young. Lori acted young.

And they're all, like, up and dancing and stuff. And, like, you know, they're having a great time. You're bacon in the sun. It was, like, fucking 85 degrees. We were in the sun for no less than two straight hours judging these girls who, like, like I said, never played to the judges. So, like, I hardly got to see anything. And then they were like up on the, and where the pole was was like too far away.

My eyesight's not that great anymore. Girls, can you come closer? What did you say? Hey, Bath, where's my glasses? Got a giant horn. What are they saying? Well, they sound pretty. Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah. So, and they're like, they come out so fast, like, all right, give them a grade. And I'm like, at a certain point, I was like, I can. Oh, you don't get numbers? It's letter grades? No, it was number. great. It's like one through 10. Gotcha.

So after maybe the second one that I'm like, I can't even, I can't even see them. I'm like, I just started judging them on the pole, like how good they were on the pole or how good they were like doing their like physical, you know, gyrations. There was no talent portion of the contest. No talent portion. One girl fell in the pool though. That was pretty funny. Yeah. But it was like, yeah, I'm just like, this should be a bucket list item judging a wet t-shirt contest in Key West.

And while I'm there, I was just like, whoa, this is so hot. It's just so fucking hot. Hot and good, like, this is so fucking hot. I wish. It's so hot and sweaty. Gross. Nobody will look at me. I started feeling bad for you for a while because I was like, oh, fuck.

What did he get in? Yeah, like you came down and he was standing with me for a little while and he goes, it's too hot down here. I had a lot of glad-handed to do. Yeah, I understand. in the shade. Yeah, in the VIP tent. The air-conditioned tent. Yeah, it was very nice under that tent.

Yeah, I was shocked that I didn't get burned, like my face didn't get all burned. I was shocked. You were out in that sun for a long time. It was. Got some nice color to you. Yeah? Got a little bit of sun. All right.

Vitamin D. Need that. All right. What do we got this week? So much shit. What did you do for Halloween? Did you ever end up doing anything? I know you were feeling a little bit of ill when you got back.

No. I mean, I knew I was going to get sick down there. You can't be around that many people to not get something. So I just took it easy this year. I just stayed home, watch some fucking Frankenstein movies. Yeah.

Yeah. The old Hammer House of Horror. Yeah. Peter Cushing is Frankenstein? Yeah, yeah. Grand Moff Tarkin. With those fucking high bangs. Did he have high bang?

Oh, Frankenstein? Yeah, if the monster had high bangs. Well, the interesting thing about the hammer movies. I don't think I ever realized this before is he played, no, no, Tatas. He played, he played Victor Frankenstein in five movies, the same guy. And the monster is different

in every movie. Oh, yeah, yeah. Which is different from how Universal did it, which is like... You don't you don't find the, you, the Hammer one's a little too fucking British. No, because they're gory. He likes that shit, though. Which is they're boring. They're gory. Oh, I thought you said boring. Their Frankenstein is not...

True. It's not like, uh, friend. Like, it is like shambling corpses. It's really fucked up. And I thought it was cool how every one was a different monster. I never realized. that before. So that was my Halloween. Nice. And I opened my

you know, however year I shut my gates and I keep the neighborhood kids out. Yeah. This year I was like, I fucking, yeah, I kept the gate open. I got candy and I put like a little sound effect out and I invited. Let them take it as they were. I was like, let them

bring on the doorbell. Oh, you can let them bring on the doorbell too. Wow. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Here you go. Achoo. You're really trying to be king. You're trying to glad hand. Not a single Apparently I trained them all Not a single person And then

And then I had at one point Went to bed Because I wasn't feeling I left the bucket Out there And the raccoons got Until the bucket And I woke up the next day

And there was just fucking rappers All over my front yard I was like oh This is what I get from training I'm getting a lot of emails About your raccoons Oh go on They're telling me to warn you

so he and he's getting fat and healthy so he's all right I think he's just got like a little twitching up for the winter Yeah right on Good for Twitchy

No I know we were talking about our ailments I had something happened to me I was so fucking convinced it was like the end Really? Yeah it was fucked

up um so for the first time in my life i had well actually not true i used to get this i used to eat this real watered down garlic bread at denies it was the best bread i ever had in my life but it was barely any garlic on it but i would i would like i would it was so bad i loved it so much i would even give the stink eye to the kids if they ate if they ate too much of the bread I'd be like You're not going to put another piece of red I was eyeing up that piece It was so good

The garlic bread at Denny's And then I forgot about it for years Well my wife Made garlic bread one night For the girls Because you know Kail was home And she made a dinner

And I had garlic bread And I was like Oh it tastes good I never really eat garlic though Like in an abundance So around And so I actually went in for like a third slice of bread. It would taste it so good.

And then around 2 o'clock in the morning, I thought I was dying. Like, I never had, I mean, all of us have had acid reflux, right? Sure. Have you ever had it come through a different orifice? Not even the one, I'm not talking about the one downstairs. It came through my nose. Oh, right. It just had like it just popped up through your nose.

Like when you throw up, like it'll come out of your nose sometime. No, that's never happened to me before. Oh, oh. So I woke with, it woke me up out of a sleep. And my nasal passages were on fire. And I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going around on. I couldn't see. Oh, my gosh.

I thought I had a stroke. I was like, I thought I literally was dying. And I told my wife, I was like, something's wrong. I go, I can't see. I can't, I can barely talk and I can't breathe. And my nose is burning. my ears were on fire. She's like, did you eat garlic bread?

That usually doesn't. She just rolls over and she goes, you had garlic bread. I go, no, no, I'm dying. I'm blind. You did this to me. And I was like, do you want me to call somebody? And I was like, I don't know.

I go, I don't know. This is something's not right. I'm going, this is not normal. And then the, I'm going to finally stop. burning, though. Then the nasal passages just swelled. So it was like there was no air getting So it couldn't breathe at all. Couldn't breathe at all. Like I couldn't get air. And even though my like in here was all like swollen, I had a horrible nasty allergic reaction to the garlic. I can't eat garlic. This is why I don't ever try new things. Garlic is a drug. My spices. My body at this stage cannot handle new, introducing new things to it. It, like, it's like a, my whole body is like a white blood cell.

It just attacked tomorrow. That's how I spun it. I was a Superman, pretty much. Walking around blindly, shit dripping out of his nose. I'm healthy. I'm better than human. We say I'm healthy. It was, it was scary.

I was, I was, I was convinced something was seriously wrong. I have never felt like that in my entire life. Edgar has it. Edgar went to the hospital for four days just recently because of that. Oh, yeah. Because he's growing? No, because he has a he has a heidal hernia. So, like, sometimes when he eats, it'll get, like, caught in it.

And so he can really, like, he should be sticking to, like, liquids and stuff and, like, yogurt and shit like that. But he had a piece of chicken, man. That was all it took four days in the hospital. Got Edgar in the hospital with that, got Pam in the hospital with heart trouble. Got my sister. fucking has a busted knee she needs knee replacement. You got me with this fucking shoulder. You got Darren with his back.

Johnson's our fucking bread from a poor stock. I think it's everywhere, dude. Yeah? I think we just get old, man. Is that it? Yeah, because Marybeth is fine. Sage is fine. She's fine. God damn it. You're right. Bro, it's getting old, dude.

God damn. I mean, we need to rest up. That's why there's no Black Friday, but I'll be resting up. Man, we got to rest up for the new year. It's so sad. I, uh, oh, well, I started reading for, uh, remember I promised four, uh, I buy comics for this year?

Yes, yes, yes. I started reading, uh, the entire Frank Miller verse of, uh, from Batman year one, all star Batman, then Dark Night returns in the two sequels. Awesome. So that's going to be one of them. Is that one book or is that digital? Uh, it's digital. I own them all.

already on my iPad. So, man, varying quality. Yeah, all right. So I think we should, I think we should break them up into four episodes. We do year one. Okay. An episode. Then Dark Night returns as an episode.

And then, I don't know, All-Star Batman is rough. It is. Whoa. I mean, the art is amongst the most gorgeous art ever. But it is, fuck. I forgot how rough it was. Yeah. I reread also, I threw in there Superman Year 1 as well that he did, Frank Miller's.

And he did that in 2019. And it's supposedly. set in the same universe. I didn't know about this. I was out of comics. He did a superann year one and Superman joined the Navy as a kid and stuff like that. Like it was a different take. It was better than I remember.

And I remember the Dark Night Strikes again. There's three. There's Dark Night Strikes again. Master Race. But then he did two one shots after that as well based on. But I remember Strikes Again was a very like was a very first time of like a lot of AI, or not AI, but digital artwork from him? Oh, the backgrounds and so?

Yeah, yeah, there was a lot of that in it. Okay, cool. People will be happy to hear it. I'm happy to do that. All-Stars are a rough read, dude. It's rough. But worth it for the artwork. The artwork is flawless.

It's just... Yeah, well, it's a master, Jim Lee. Yeah, it's just great. But, yeah, so I'm gearing up to actually fulfill a promise for once in my life. I'm looking forward to it. And that's only available on Patreon. Yes, yes. Patreon.com slash T-E-S-D.

Yes. Check it out. You can see the, still see the Halloween special, which was amongst one of the best Sunday Jeff shows ever, I think. The, uh, the, the, uh, Aban Costello. Oh, yeah, the slasher school at Brian Rupp, Rupp, Rupert. Professor Rupp. Professor Rupp. Yeah, we did a breakdown as if we went to college and took a course on Abin-Costello,

meet Frankistone. that's cool and he was the the professor and he you know he graded everybody right and the goal was to become the teacher's pet is he a historian on it does he know it he's a teacher but does he knows that film so well he's uh he's gone to film school

does you ever read behind the scenes on that a little bit did you get into it how they didn't want to make it so like they would just be playing poker and shit and they were like fuck you we're not filming today we're playing poker yeah wild it seemed like they're real dickheads like behind the scenes who abbin castella Yeah. No.

No. Stella was a tough customer. Costello was the one? Yeah, he was the one that was like trying to take money out of Abbott's pocket and shit like that. He's like, I should get paid more. Shit like that. But you want to talk about a tough guy that? His son drowned in the pool.

And that night he did his radio show his plan. I mean, that guy's a fucking. That would be pretty tough. That's insanity. That's insane. I see Sage floating in the pool and then it's like, oh, shit, we got to do tell him to you day. What do I do here? I got a retort Night Returns by tonight.

Yeah. Yeah. I went to go visit his grave again when I was in L.A. last time. Oh, yeah. I popped in, yeah. He's not buried in New Jersey, being a Jersey guy? No, he's in a mausoleum in New Jersey, and there was original Cristillo. Oh, wow.

Yeah. I like to pop in every once in a while. Speaking of popping in, I almost popped by your house the other day. Oh, yeah? I almost did. And then I was like, I don't know. I didn't know if the. Pop-byes were still acceptable.

Plus, I knew you weren't feeling that well. Well, I mean, you certainly got a text to me and be like, I would have been like, yeah, come by, man. Because Mary Beth and I, we went to the doctor and then we were like, well, what the fuck? Like, let's go out and get lunch. And they were like, hey, let's go to Red Robin. We haven't been to Red Robin in the longest time, so we're up in that area.

Oh, right. Woodbridge? Red Robin. I texted Walt immediately. Doors chained. Yeah, this is old news to Walt, but it was new news to me. Chained up? Yeah, chained up.

The sign taken down, everything. And so we're driving around looking for an alternate. at a place to eat and I'm like, I'm looking at the bridge and I'm like, just go to Q's house and say hi. I would have loved it. I mean, yeah. Next time, next time. Yeah, at very least drop a text and be like, we're in the area. You want to go by. Yeah, hang out.

You're not, you know, so when you don't like, but if he doesn't drop a text and he's just at the front door, you're not like, what the fuck? You're not like, what the hell's going on? Brian's here. Brian, not Brian. What's it doing out there? Gate's locked. No. Hold on that gate open. You got any candy left? I'm like a raccoon.

No, but I just do that from time to time. And it never bothers me. and Brian's like my brother. So I would be like, yeah, come on my, it would have been great. All right. So the Popeye still acceptable. Papa, you know what? Or like when you were a kid, that was the only way to go over and see somebody. Be like, I don't know, what are you doing?

You had the cake. You had the coffee cake ready just in case. Yeah, the old days. No, I mean, I'm mainly just sitting home writing these days, you know? Yeah. Good for you, man. We wrap the season. They, you know, they want to do more.

We'll see about it. You know? I don't know, we'll see what happens. Yeah, I haven't answered the email, as of yet. We'll kick it the next year. We'll see. Yeah. Give you yourself a little time.

It's getting bought again. Like, it'd be the six fucking owner. I'm like, I don't want to, eh. Went's enough enough. Yeah. Yeah. God forbid what happened to us, it happened to you. Somebody new comes, some new exec comes in.

They're like, I don't like this shit. You know you're out on your ass. The executives that come in now are fucking, they were 15 when the show started. Yeah, that's true. So nobody comes in with that attitude. Everybody comes in and they're like, we don't want to fuck with it.

Just do what you do. Just please keep doing it. But, uh, you know, we're all getting older. And at what point are we going to start doing nothing or anything? But we'll see. I don't know. I don't know why we're,

but yeah, so I'm home and ready to, down to clown, bro. Just home watching fucking horror films. No, I could have come over and watch a little hammer. Let's do it. Did you watch It? Did you watch Welcome to Derry? I didn't because I didn't like the movie. How's the TV series?

I didn't. The movie didn't click with me. Right. The first episode did click with me. The second episode, the second episode has a great idea in it. That doesn't fit it, but it's a great idea. Right.

But then the other part is like, turns out that despite a clown living in the sewers, killing children. the real monster all along is racism the second episode yeah so it was a little bit like oh okay what about the clown anybody about the clown is he a racist is there anything going on with that clown

but there's such a fucking good I'm going to say it so stop listening if you don't want to do it if you don't want to hear it but apparently the idea behind it is the government knows about Pennywise and they're trying to figure out a way

to capture and weaponize him against the Russians and I'm like That is a fucking great idea for a movie, but it? It doesn't really fit. And they pull in Dick Halloran from Shining. From the Shining, right? Dante, I'm not supposed to see here today? Snuggins.

No, Scatman Crothers, remember in his character as a young man is because he's saying they're using him to hunt penny wise. I mean, haven't we seen this plot line, though, of like a powerful being in the government I'm thinking like, well, we have to capture it so we can use it to against our enemies. Isn't that stranger things? I mean, it's any number of like movies or television shows. I like the idea, but I just don't know how it fits with Pennywise. Right. It seems like, yeah, is Pennywise, is he a real man or is it like a demonic clown?

I can't remember. There's different things, right? He like fell from the sky. Yeah, I thought Pennywise has established as an alien. Yeah. It's an alien. Yes. Really?

Or a supernatural, like, creature, but yeah. He's like E.T.? I think more angel demon type thing. He's not from Earth. He fell to Earth or something. Oh, he fell from heaven. I don't know. It's not clear.

He could, some readings are he's an alien. Wow, that blows my mind. So he doesn't, like, so on his planet, he looks like a clown? It's like two clowns around his space. He shows you what you're scared of the most. Oh, okay. Yeah, so he takes different forms. Gotcha.

Right. But the acting is fucking cool. It's only two episodes in, and the second episode was really heavy on, like, you know, society ills as opposed to killer clowns, which is disappointing. Right. I just want to see killer clowns. If I want society crumbling, I'll read the news. Yeah. I'll go on social media.

Yeah. But anyway, so, yeah. That's what's going on. These are my days, man. Just watch a horror theme thing. This is what I do. This is it. This is something I wanted to talk to.

Walt about. I know what it's going to be. I can almost guarantee it. You already know what it is? Is it Tom Brady news? Tom Brady. I knew it. Like, I got a million texts about it.

I was like, I guarantee you it's going to be spoken about it on TSD. So I'm not going to talk about it now, I said. Right. Yeah. I saw this. Tom Brady reveals his beloved dog as a clone of his late pet Lua. I saw this. This was sent to me.

No, I didn't even know that they could do. How do you feel about Tom Brady playing God? Or at least in concert with people who are playing God. played it on the field and showed that he's going to It's only natural When he's not on the field He's going to play it You know I knew

When I saw the story break I was like I was stunned that he's the one that broke it Well he owns part of the company Yes And I get I guess that's why he's breaking the news Because he wants it to help his company Well this is the same company That supposedly reintroduced the dire wolf

Like about a year ago But then they just purchased another company That was like specifically pet Well, they purchased the company. Remember, I had Benjamin Katz DNA preserved. That's the company, the one that Tom Brady just bought. And I just paid the bill for them to keep his DNA for another year. It's like 120 bucks a year.

Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. But I was wondering, like that, that could be 120 or 12,000, like the way these companies operate. 12,000, I'd say a prayer and kiss him goodbye. Yeah, it's like 120 bucks for the year to keep his DNA viable. So my personal feelings, and I heard it, I remember. saying just in passing to get him. I was like, this is a man

who does not care about outside noise because he is going to get hammered. Like he is going to get eviscerated by, on social media for doing this. Why would he care? As a cold, inhuman

monster who's playing God, like you said, when there's so many dogs that need homes, yada, yada, yada. Yeah. It's not going to be the same dog. Yes. But I put myself in Tom Brady's shoes. If I had unlimited resources.

Yeah. All your dogs would still be alive. I go, well, I go, I don't know if I would not do this, though, even though I'm not under the, under the illusion that it would be the same dog. Yeah. A little bit of me would have, would find a little bit of comfort in seeing that dog young again, though. That's why I did it for Benjamin. Like, that's, that's why I did it.

What if they go all pet cemetery on you? Yeah, but it was more about, because, you know, I love him so much, it was more about finding comfort in that there was a piece of him still alive in some way. And then there was something to, I, you know, everybody thinks this about their pets, but particularly with Benjamin Cat, I thought he was so special and so beyond any other animal I'd ever met that it seemed there was like a fitting sci-fi, cap to his life that on top of everything that he experienced, he also is now still alive in a sway in a scientific lab somewhere. And it helped me.

But, you know, honestly, like, if I'd done that, I wouldn't have got Boris. And Boris is currently the love of my life. So it's like, you know, there's lessons to be learned. What Tom should have did was he should have announced that he clones his dog. Yeah. But then he also adopted two other dogs. Great move. Right? And then you're like, come at me now, motherfucker.

Yeah. What do you got to? You're like, come on, I'm playing chess, asshole. This dog was initially adopted, that's what gets me is it was initially adopted, like in 2000, whatever. So he, you know, he did technically rescue a dog, you know. Yeah. I mean, that's a man who has seen his family blow up. And that's a man who loves control.

that's a man who wants to be able to move the chess pieces. It makes sense to me that he'd be like, well, I'm going to, I'm going to checkmate death. Right. If I can, and I can, because I have this company. I have the money. I have the means. I'm sure they did it for him for free, right? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. That's the other thing, too, if they were like, because it's like 30 grand to clone a cat, which is another reason I was like, no fucking way. But if they were like, if they heard this and they're like, hey, you know, we'll give you one for free. If you're at a party and somehow you rub elbows with Brady. Yeah, I might be. I can't say that I wouldn't do it.

And you mentioned how pro, you know, pro cloning and Brady we were on the episode. And remain. And remain. Yeah. And we're ready to take the fire. All the criticism. We don't care. I mean, you're going to take fire, especially a guy like that.

You're taking fire anyway. Well, you're going to take a lot of fire if you were to do the cat, though, too. But I'm taking fire. It's like, it's, what do you do? Wow. You take fire for lesser things than getting. a beloved cat back. And by the way, like, you know what?

You couldn't even use your AI to be like, hey, Staten Island has a sister country. Yeah, I made the mistake. I broke my rule. I went online and, you know, I got slapped for it. So I deserve it for opening social media. You love to be kept in check, don't you? That's the best. I'm just so glad.

You're just glad that people are out there keeping you in check. It's the best. You know, you tend to misstep and you must want somebody there to say. tell you when you are. And you always are, if you look at social media, somehow you always are. Yeah, yeah. It's hard for me to be upset or anger any way, shape, or form for Brady doing that, because in the same instance, I would too probably do the same thing, even though I know it wouldn't be the same dog. I know it wouldn't have the same personality, but there's still, like you said, there's still something there that will give you some level of.

comfort for sure and you're raising them from infancy so like you know you're you're learning a new dog as you as you with with a puppy or a kitten yeah and i and i and i'm for me too it's like because i had adopted benjamin when he was older i never saw him as a kitten so there was a part of that too yeah yeah i would get to see teddy as a as a puppy right which makes more sense for you because benjamin was just a black cat which looks like every other fucking black cat so i could but yeah for like the specific coloring and and and and and and spotting on him yeah Now, it's illegal to clone a human, right? Yes.

I believe by international, like, decree or something. There's got to be some country where there's no law. It's done. It's done. China. You think they haven't cloned anybody by now? I think somebody's really foolish if they believe that it hasn't been done. I, too, have to lean on that some country is doing it. I don't know what the benefit is of it.

None. I wouldn't even think a country. I would think just some rich motherfucker out there. Like a Jeff Bezos? Because you would have to have a lab in secrecy and be able to pay off the people enough that they wouldn't leak it. You don't think that, like, how big of a secret lab do you think you need? Do you think that somebody couldn't rent an office here in the airport plaza into it? And nobody would know.

Well, you still need to employ the people. Right. Okay, you would need employees than that. And then like, they're not going to leak it. Yeah, yeah. And you got all these nosy people like the Yarn lady being like, what's all that medical equipment you're bringing in there? I hear baby crying. We got the salivary of an embryo in our.

on our box. Is this yours? Oh, that's not, baby. That's 0128. My new pride and joy. He's my new grandson. 0149. 148. He's a little, he doesn't do much. 0148, A. He's more able to turn to what.

He's got a truth from out of his forehead. Which one? The first one or the second one? It's on the list to be fixed. We'll get to it eventually. We'll get it right with C. Do you have a list now? Get a list to fix your maladies, your different ailments?

Yeah, we're getting there. Yeah? Oh, my God, yeah. How long's that list? This looks like a scroll. The immediate one is the no walking thing. That's the first one. Yeah, we're going to live with all the other ones.

It's giving up the drinking, though. Oh, did you? Well, is a thing in the past. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's counterindicated. Yeah. It makes it even more fun, though, let me tell you. Oh.

It looks like you were on a blast, buddy. Yeah. I got a feeling, though, that once this is all over, you probably won't be drinking ever again. That's my guess. I think he'll be like, wow, I feel better. I feel much better, so I'm not going to be. I'm going to give up the booze. No?

Do you think that you'll eventually go back to your... A bit slow. It'd be slow. Slow? Yeah. Not a six-pack then a night? No. Okay.

That's good. That's a good thing. I cut way, way back on the volcano. Oh, really? Yeah. Way back. You're going to be a volcano. Just getting old, bro.

It's just like literally like... Yeah. What am I going to do? What I got to do? So how many, how many, what's slowing down? Like, if you did the volcano, let's say, four nights a week, it's down to two? uh yeah maybe like maybe like three three just a night you know you sit in the couch and stuff like that um yeah i'm probably more nights not then for sure do you feel better or is it

no i don't feel any different whatsoever yeah because i never did did so much that it was like stumbling around but you know what i mean it was just bad habits developed during the pandemic really fucking really did it but uh yeah i don't feel much different now I still don't feel better. No, okay. Yeah, then what's the point then, right? That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

I have something. A request from a listener Now TSD is responsible for at least One Possibly two marriages Oh yeah definitely I know of one definite I know I think I know one

There was proposal here I don't know that proposal ever made made its way to Are you counting Jimmy the hair guy in this? No I'm not counting him No I'm not counting here so that would be three but I don't know if I would help. About me and Mary Beth. Oh, my God.

That's the B. Yeah. That's the B-O-end all right there. Yeah. We've had proposals at 3565 in here. Yeah. So we have another request. There's an aunt who asked me

if it would be possible for us to propose to his wife, who is a 13%er on his behalf. While they listen to an episode. They listen to an episode. So it's in bed. Oh. And so right now, well,

there's a 13% are wondering, is it me? Are they talking about me? Am I going to be proposed? Oh, shit. Oh, no. Why's you looking at me like that? Game over.

Versus his hand. What's your feeling on listener marriages? You know, it depends on age, I guess. We don't really have a lot of info here. If he was 23, I'd be like, oh. No, just in general.

the episode off right now. Just in general, do you find any warmth in your heart to be somehow, in a small way, be a part of bringing two people together? Yeah, I like that. What if it doesn't last, though? Do you feel in a sort of responsible? I'm assuming it's not going to last. Yeah, statistically it probably won't last.

I don't think it'll last, but, you know, it's nice to be part of, you know, love. And what if the listeners were like, well, if the episodes are, like, well, if the episodes are funnier like they used to be, maybe we'd still be fucking married. It wouldn't shock me at all. I think I'm sorry. I'm guessing you had an email. You're out of my husband now.

My client wants a divorce because T.S. It's no longer funny. Concilable differences. You know, you live by TSD, you die by TSC. I don't know what to tell you. Well, here is another proposal, another potential marriage, all because of this podcast. And I guess if I say the aunt and the 13 percenter's name, if I reveal it right now, it'll keep her out of suspense.

You want to know what her name is? I absolutely do. Or do you want to know who the suitor is? I'd rather know her name first. Her name? Yeah. Nicky Mante

Nicky Manit Nicky Manit Oh no Is that me? Was he talking about me? And the suitor's name is Joshua Jackson So now she's able

To narrow it down Yeah so He also asked If she's You know He doesn't know Exactly what she's going to say So if he could get a little

Just a bar of whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay. In case she said no for him to listen to. So, I mean, would you mind singing that? Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay. I don't remember you're singing like that. I wouldn't have any other. I'm a little choked up here.

I don't remember there being another verse. I thought it was just, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay. That's a whole song. You wrote a song? No. You were singing a song to horses? A whole song? I thought, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay.

It was just. Oh, I thought you wanted the song. Who's the song by his? our popular song? LED sound system. I sang it at grammar. You just ruined the proposal, you fucking idiot.

Sorry. You know what? He asked for Gettoms' involvement. Oh, yeah. He knew what he's getting to. It says here, when I point to you, you sing, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay. Just that line.

Oh, okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay. There you go. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's okay. All right. So hopefully this goes well. LED sound system?

That's a band? It was that guy. I sang it on the. I sang it on stage. It was either Bell Works or Grammarcy. I thought it was added in one of the song. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, you did.

I don't remember anything anymore. Too much volcano. I'm trying to. You're going to start remembering. It's going to start coming back to you. A lot of things are going to come back to you. You're going to be like, shit, give me that volcano.

It was that volcano. But we hope that this is a joyous occasion right now for both of you guys. I hope she's crying tears of joy. Yeah. And she's not horrified that. a podcast just proposed to her. Yeah, and the most awkward and stumbled upon it.

But it's the most T-E-S-D thing, right, isn't it? For it to go this way? What's more awkward? Like a public proposal or a podcast proposal? I think a public proposal is the most awkward. Someone could say no. I used to love a Yankee Stadium with someone who proposed on the Jumbotron and people would be like, no, don't do it, don't do it.

I'd be like, why would you do this here? I remember we were at a bar. It was the one, what was it, Coyote Ugly, the one that I guess it was based on. Remember me you went to that bar? It was so fucking long ago. Yeah, it was in Manhattan. All the pros were hanging up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And these guys were getting, this guy and this girl were getting married and they were all happy about it. And Q was drunk. And he's also in his 20s. What are you doing? Yes, you never saw somebody tried to talk somebody else at America. Bro, bro, bro, bro. Look around.

Eyes closed like that. Yeah, he was out of it. He was out of it. It was funny as shit. I wonder what happened to those two. I wonder if he, in the divorce preceding years later, was like, I should listen to that guy. He didn't seem that wise in the moment.

He seemed really drunk. Should we tell Nikki, that, you know, that she's got a sign up, pre-nup. Well, we don't know their financials. Maybe he's the one that needs to be requested it. Oh, yeah. I just saying, you know, should be part of that. I mean, it does make things cleaner.

It makes sense cleaner. Later on, you know. Like, it takes all the acrimony and anger out later on. Do it now when you're in love. This way later on, it's easy. But it also plants the seeds, though, of, like. Distrust. Well, not distrust, but lack of faith.

sure you know true but it's it's you're almost being penalized for being realistic it's like we're in love right now sure and this is all great but it might not work yeah that's reality i would like congratulations nicky what's his name what's his name joshua joshua send send her out of the room for a second this is what i would do i would be like look my family has um a secret fortune and one of the rules of if I'm ever to inherit this money one of the rules is that I have to have a pre-up I don't want it hate it I hate the idea but my you know my family's lawyer says that I'm disqualified from getting that money one day if I don't get a pre-nup when I'm married so I get disqualified forever we don't need that money we got love we'll live on love

Well, that means that my fucking sister's getting all that money. We don't want to live on that blood money. No, if he doesn't have a family fortune, at what point does she find out? It's too late. No, it's too late. Then you just come in like five years later and be like, could you believe this? My fucking dad blew all the money. But you were locked in.

Yeah. Yeah, she's protected. That's the thing she's protected, which is nice. You know, we got to protect the women. I've always said. Absolutely. I remember you saying that. Say it all the time.

that's my license plate well kidding aside congratulations hopefully this has gone over supremely well and you guys are you know hugging and screaming

and crying and tears of joy and you're you know she's calling her mom right now to tell her have some engagement sex first yeah then call yeah then make the call yeah and you're all out of breath

sweating and shit yeah I was going to say just wait till the marriage, though, like a traditional, but. Oh, yeah. That's another perspective. Like Tebow did. Tebow's a pretty good guy, huh? I'm constantly seeing shit about him in the news, like helping out little kids and doing, like, great deeds. That's why people hate him.

Because he is actually what he says he is. Right. Not just that angers people. Why? Why? Because they're pieces of shit, and they can't stand to see someone who is, who lives it and breathes at 24-7. Right.

It's a smack in the face. A Karen lost a lawsuit. Who? A Karen. Well, that was the whole thing. I Play America. In Freehold? In Edis.

Well, it might be in Freehold. Let's see. Edison, yep, yep, yep. Lawsuit dismissed by Edison woman. Claims I Play America did nothing to to stop patrons from calling her a Karen. The state appellate, this is what the courts are tied up with. Okay.

All right? Just say no. The state appellate court has upheld a court's ruling to dismiss a lawsuit from an Edison woman, claiming I Play American freehold was negligent in preventing patrons from calling her a Karen. She was at I Play America with her two children, have been given access to the Speedway Go cart ride on several occasions. When she tried to go on one last time, an employee denied her access and claimed she did not meet the height requirements for the ride. Now, I guess she must be very short, is what I'm thinking.

The lawsuit claims a plaintiff was told by manager that she could not use the go-carts, but her 10-year-old daughter would be allowed. So I guess she's smaller than her 10-year-old daughter. A line formed behind her, and children began yelling at the plaintiff calling her a white bitch and a Karen. Now, why doesn't she care about the white bitch part? She only cares about being called a Karen. Then it goes on to define what Karen was. The plaintiff was terribly humiliated, embarrassed by this, according to the lawsuit.

that I play American employees, did nothing to prevent or attempt to eliminate these discriminatory comments from occurring. Now, the one thing I agree with is, like, the white bitch stuff. But that's the only thing that I can point at that she has, like, discriminatory comments, you know. I guess, but she's white and she's a bitch. I mean, you know, what are you going to do? And it seems she's a Karen. Yeah. The court concluded defendant did not breach any duty owed to plaintiff that could not rise to the level to support a negligence claim.

So you can go around calling people Cairns. Yeah. There ain't shit they can do about it. Reminds me of something that I had meant to say a couple of weeks ago. Every once in a while I have to say this, it's come up again. I'm not going to get into it. I do not talk to people online. If somebody is telling you that they are me and talking to you online, they are not me.

There are no exceptions to this. If somebody's telling you, no, you're the exception. I have to say that on, tell him, Steve, Dave. That person is scamming you. There are zero exceptions. I do not talk to anybody. I do not need your money. I do not want your money.

Do not ever, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. We want the money. Do not ever, ever, ever, ever send anybody money claiming to be me. This has got to be the fucking fourth time I'm saying this. I can't believe I still have to say this. There is no exception to this. There are zero exception.

If someone is saying that there's an exception, it's a proof that they're lying. There are zero exceptions. I do not talk to anybody online. I do not need your money. I can attest that. My money is not locked up in a fucking lawsuit or anything that I need 50 bucks from you. Like, do not ever, under any circumstances, think that you are talking to me online. It is not happening.

But you message me and said you need money to clone your cat. This is not a joke. I'm telling you, man. I can't believe this is still happening. It's weird that people are continuing to get scammed with this stuff. I saw one with Keanu Reeves and some lady. It's shocking. And yeah.

And the anger directed towards me is wild. But, you know, respectfully, I'm sorry that, you know, anybody's got sucked into this. But there are zero exceptions. I do not ever talk to anybody online. Please, please, please believe that. Thank you. It astounded me how long it took. stores to start putting up warning signs for, like, people to like, you know, yes, you don't

owe the IRS money, you don't have to pay it with gift cards, like near the, oh, is that what's going on, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's been going on for, I know someone who was scammed by that. Me too. Oh, I mean the signs. They're actually putting signs of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, it's like, yeah, like, why wouldn't you do that so much earlier?

I don't know. I don't know. I know. I know it's not going to stop people. Hopefully it stops people doing it because it's just, it's just crazy. someone it's sad and the people who are who are getting sucked into it i do feel bad for him but like it's got nothing to do with me yeah it's a level of like you can't even begin to imagine the mindset of someone who's like holy shit he's talking to me holy shit he needs 200 bucks

he needs 200 dollars from me to uh you know or the first lady that needed like you know 13 grand because your taxes were in arrears yeah it's sad it's sad but like you just so PSA on that one There's zero exceptions. Zero. Absolutely zero. Exceptions. And anybody's saying that's an exception is a sure-fire sign that they're lying. Hmm.

How come they've ever pretended that like I was in love with them? Not big enough? Even during the heyday of comic book, man. This never happened to me. Yeah. Maybe if we had gotten that 10th season, what was it, nine seasons? Seven. Seven or eight season, maybe what happened.

Yeah. Oh, well. Is that when you put the pinnacle, you think? What's that? Like, pinnacle popularity is when people pretend to be you online to scam people. Yeah, definitely. Never happened to me, though. It was never any scamsters.

Fucking sucks. It's weird just you're saying, like, people don't even know who I am, like, I'm so anonymous and so, like, nobody recognizes me from TV. I have one of my TSD topics. I was not even going to use it because of it. It's so bad, but I'll actually say it now. The other day at Chick-fil-A, every worker in the entire restaurant kept calling me Pete. That's a real note that I have. And I didn't know he was like, Pete, Pete, Pete, come on, Pete.

And I didn't know he was talking to me because he was telling me to come up and move up in line to raise my order. And I'm looking around, I turn around it. And there's no one here. I'm like, so I just walk up and I tell him what I want. And then someone brings over the food and they're like, have a good day, Pete. What is going on? I didn't tell anybody my name's not Pete, but it was just, I thought it was weird. Well, Pete's getting the fucking royal treatment.

Why would you? Right, but no one's just nice to me when I think my name's Walt, though. So I didn't correct anybody. Yeah, go by Pete from my lot. Ride that Pete coattails. You also weren't getting political text messages during the pre-the election. Yeah, everybody I knew was getting hammered with political texts. I didn't get any.

Me either. I don't get them either. Same thing. Everybody around me gets hammered by it. I just don't get them. I'm not, like, envious. No, I'm glad. Yeah.

My flip phone was just, like, beeping all the time. I'm like, who the hell was texting me? I thought it was the doctor's office. I called. They're like, no, we haven't sent you anything. Yeah, I was thinking about political shit. Like, there was that stretch where people were like, you can't use plastic, straws. Yeah.

Because they pollute the environment. One got stuck in a turtle's nose. What about these fucking political signs that are made out of plastic and are fucking everywhere? And it's not just like, hey, vote for this guy. It's 50 signs in a row of vote for this. guy who ended up losing Has anybody ever been like Oh my God there's 30

50 signs I'm voting for that guy He's got 50 signs Oh man Right I mean it doesn't matter how many signs you have Oh there's an election going on I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for all these signs Yeah all that shit ends up in the fucking landfill So I don't want to hear about straws anymore I'm the same way with the reusable plastic bags

Because like supposedly one of those reusable plastic bags is 120 It's supposed to be good for 125 uses Oh I don't know about that Reusable Plastic bag? Yeah, like when you buy the bag at the store. Oh, when you buy it at the store. Yeah, yeah. And so that's better than a single-use bag.

But then, like, you go down the road and you see a bunch of them on the side of the road. I just forget them at home all the time. So I end up having to get a new fucking one every time I go to the store. Exactly. I can't tell you how many we have can Marybeth uses Instacart. This is really interesting, the people. Yeah, yeah, I forgot. You can donate them, by the way, too.

I don't have any more Pete's stories. What's that, Pete? What's that, Pete? Oh, well, you would be proud. We started watching Colombo, me and Mary Beth, and I was like, I don't know if she'd be into it or not, loves it. Really? Not only loves it, but was like, can we watch a Colombo? Like when it comes time to watch?

We just finished that first season. Yeah, there's not that many in a season. No, it's like seven or eight episodes or something. So you haven't seen the one where he falls down the hill yet? No, I haven't seen that. You showed that to me, though. Yeah, that is the weirdest episode of Columbo, man. I will say follow up when you're done.

watch poker face. I started to watch poker face. I couldn't get into it. I think if you watch Colombo, you'll kind of... You think I'll ease into it a little easier? Yeah, because there's a lot of Colombo-ishness to it. Oh, they're definitely... She even has, like, some of the mannerisms and shit.

Yeah. Yeah, you know, I mean, he cast a large shadow Colombo in 70s TV crime shows, but don't overlook. What was the one with Rock Hudson? A McMillan wife. Macmillan and wife. Rock Hudson. In San Francisco. And the wife, you say.

And he can't solve any crimes, but his wife, who's just a normal housewife, has to come in on every fucking case, and she's the one that fucking solves. And sometimes the housekeeper. They are like the complete opposite of Colombo where you feel it's smart and kind of off-kilter. it is like all that is sucked out of of McMillan and Wife where it just becomes like I can't believe how bad this is really awesome it's so bad at times she'll say John yeah yeah yeah yeah she's cute

oh yeah she was cute she's always wearing a fucking San Francisco 49ers jersey like to bed stuff nice nice did you see the Wonder Woman costume sold at an auction Linda Carter yeah Linda Carter let me take a guess you know the number Uh, I do, but I'll have get him double check it. I'll know enough to say whether you're going to say it goes for a million. A million.

I'm going to say it's a million dollar cost. Wow, that is a, uh, let me ask them. What do you think went higher? Uh, that or I've dreamed of Jeannie? Personally, if it was, if it was, if I was at the auction, which I would bid on, I'd been on the Wonder Woman. I think that's a little bit more iconic than I dream a gene. I think every day I dream a genie, uh, loses a little bit more, uh, in the, uh, pop culture.

Zeiss, but Wonder Woman is going to be here forever. Going to be here forever. Okay, well, let me ask you this. What's going to get more money? Fonzie's jacket or Wonder Woman? Fonzie's jacket. I don't know. That's just one guess.

Get him. Pull up the numbers. 225K for Wonder Woman's got to. That's a steel. You could have had that. That's a steel. You could have had that, right? Not if I'm retiring.

And Zvanzi's only reached 87, huh? 87, yeah, these seem like... There's two of them, yeah? I thought there was two of them, I thought there was two of them. This is the same website I saw. No, no, this isn't. This isn't actually. I saw the actual auction website.

Adam West, wait, hold on, go back. Adam West was a while ago, that wasn't it? Well, maybe those were the highest. Oh, is that a mannequin that's got Wonder Woman's a custom one? I think it was a model. Oh, yeah, look at that fucking one. Are those Ralph Garman's? Those costumes?

Did he put them up for auction? Oh, he... Oh, though, from the Berkowitz collection. David Berkowitz, ton of Sam. Fucking collected Batman shit, man. He really was like us. Yeah. Was it, say, $575,000 for a $1?

Half a million. Caesar Ramirez Joker sold for $212,000. That's the one I would have wanted. Yeah? Yeah, that's the one I would want to want it. Yeah. You know that, like, it's an investment, though. You'd probably make your money back.

You could buy it and reasonably expect to not lose money on it. That's for sure. Yeah, I agree. But what can do with it? Like put it on a mannequin just look at it. I can't fucking wear it. Make sure it fucking is in a... Unlike Kim Kardashian.

You put it somewhere where... No, she wore a... Marilyn Monroe dress. Oh, well, yeah, but... Destroyed it. No, she didn't destroy it. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she did.

Yeah, she did. Because of all the body sweat and oils in your body, it just made... Plus, it wasn't designed for her. body size but they lent it to her so who's the fool everyone's saying the people who lent it yeah that's what i mean um yeah fuck man that joker one looks cool though fudge's jacket isn't yeah he looks great and i don't know i always thought it was black until like a high deaf tv it looks brownish right it's very brown yeah yeah look at him look at that motherfucker. Cool. Cool guy.

So cool. Yeah. Oh, boy. Some people didn't listen to me for Halloween. Oh, no. I try to tell him, but they don't want to listen. What do we got? We have, um, there was a Nazi costumed man.

He looked like he was in his early 20s and he was outside of club. I think he said, we talked about this already. Didn't some woman like go after him or something? Yeah, some lady had it. You told me this. I don't know whether it was on air or what I mean. Oh, okay. Yeah, because this happened after Halloween.

I think we had this conversation over here. You're like, who the fuck is wearing a Nazi costume? This guy. Like, we're kind of an idiot. He's like out there doing it. Yeah, it was in Athens, Ohio, and he ended up, because I guess some girl was giving him a bunch of shit. He ended up hitting her, and then he went to jail. Oh, my God.

What a fucking dope. What is with people, man? Julia Fox, shocks with blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy Halloween costume. So she dressed up like Jackie Kennedy. and was soaked in Kennedy's blood, I guess. I mean, I, man. Then I have another one here for Instagram, but I don't have Instagram on my iPad.

So let me look at this up real fast. Collie Koken dressed up as a toilet. All right. There you go. That's nice and safe. Who was this? There was another one, but I don't see it on. Oh, this is the one that I texted.

Get him about. Kendall Jenner faces backlash for sexualizing the kids, uh, the Toy Story Kids move. Oh, come on, man. That costume's been out there for years. Look at that. That's hardly anything, right?

We were at a con, and we saw way worse than that. Yeah. It was just like blue dental floss for the shorts. Yeah, that's been out there for years. And I think Gidna was saying they weren't exactly slim, right? They didn't. Well, no, it was the fact that it was the real crime. It was the fact that they were sexualizing a children's character at a con that had children.

That I understand. Yeah, that was my big offense to it. Like, there was an adult's area that they should have been staying in. Yeah, unfortunately, like, cons back when we were youngsters weren't for kids. It was for lonely people like us. And you get away with booth babes and stuff like that. But as the fucking culture changes and kids are, like, got into this stuff, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm like, yeah, maybe you shouldn't have your ass hanging out in front of fucking kids walking around.

I thought that the first con I ever went to was done in Miami with, uh, with, with, Ming and Mike, and there was a woman there who just had body painting on. Yeah. And it was good body painting, but I still felt like, yeah, there's like a lot of kids around. Yeah. And this would have been 2015, somewhere in there. Which is different from, like, Key West, where there were people walking around completely naked wearing nothing but body paint.

And you look at the people who were bringing their kids around. And you're like, well, hold on, man. You shouldn't, like, then I feel falls on the parents because you're like, this place is fucking famous for it, man. Yeah. Like, why are you bringing? Especially this, these. 10 days out of any 10 days of the year.

Why are you bringing your kids down here? Yeah, the judgment goes in the other direction. But at cons, yeah, I'm kind of like, yeah. Yeah, there's the Nazi guy with his arm band on. Yeah, like, what? You're so desperate for attention. You're so desperate to be the lightning rod. Yeah.

That's all it comes down. You just don't care. But he's young. How old is this kid? He looks pretty young. He looks like he's in his early 20s. People just do stupid shit. Like, your brain's not even fully formed until you're like in your mid-20s.

So it's like, what a fucking moron. The decisions he's making. But this seems like one that you should very clearly be like, eh, even... Oh, no, he's actually older. Yeah, it's 33. Oh, yeah. You should really know by then.

Come on, dude. Like, what are you doing? But, hey, what are you doing? Yeah, see, people are handling him, manhandling him. Yeah. I mean, you know, I get it. I'm going to applaud the volcano tonight. Yes.

You can't deal with this anymore. This world is too much for me. There was also an offensive float. Oh. Mm-hmm. Do you go on. Hold on. Let me just pull it up here.

It was a Harrisburg church. Apologizes for grade school Halloween float displaying Auschwitz Gates phrase. Oh, my God. Pennsylvania Diocese has apologized for a shocking grade school Halloween parade float that displayed a replica of the Auschwitz concentration camp gate. Oh, my God. I'll pull that up. You know, there is. It looks like a lot of fucking work went into that, too.

There was a lot of opportunities for someone to be like, we shouldn't do this. Yeah. As they hooked it up to the truck, as they assembled it. I wouldn't have even gone with the shape of it, like, let alone like the words. So that's German and what's that word mean, though? Work will make you free. That's what that, the Arbite Mach fry. That is very generous.

That's somebody, I bet you a lot of people worked in that, didn't even. even know it probably and we're probably like shocked when they're like oh my god that's what it that's what it's from yeah i took a picture i bet you there was some fucking maniac who was like i know it all right and then the other people who worked on it were like that's latin what's that latin for happy halloween yeah yeah then like on the on the on the they blame a i on the float there's a bunch of carved pumpkins on it like i guess yeah like the rest of it is pretty down the line Halloween stuff and then that's crazy oh boys what's up I got invited to be part of a of a roast really a roast of New Jersey New Jersey yeah at the Count Basie

Theater there somebody's putting together a roast of New Jersey and I've been asked to take part in it oh we got to go right well we got to fucking heckle this guy I haven't said yes yet but I was going to run it by you guys I was like because the jokes just start parted in my head right away. I was like, oh, yeah. Kind of got to do it, right? You got to do it. All right.

I'll start working on my materials. Is your biggest problem with New Jersey, a shared border? No, you know, I think that, you know, I've taken a lot of shit from you guys over the years. And this is going to be, you guys aren't going to have the mic. I am going to have the mic. A public forum. Yeah, and I'm going to address several things that you guys have brought up to me over the years. I'm pretty excited.

Pretty excited. I don't know the details. yet. I just read the email or whatever. But yeah, so that's, uh, I'll keep you updated as that goes along. All right. Yeah, that would love to see. Yeah. Right on. All right. Should I say, uh, tell him Steve or is there anything? I mean, or what's, what's your status? When, when will we know? When do you think we'll know what's going on with you health-wise? Uh, MRI is next week and then I got to wait for the results from that. So, and I hear from my doctor. Mm-hmm. Okay. So. Yeah, you have Have you saw – he goes, you think I can get a ride for my MRI because I'm not allowed to drive?

And, of course, he fucking gets to that fucking earliest appointment possible. Of course, it's got to be 7 a.m. I know, like, what the fuck, dude? You got to get a 5.30. The nurse, I mean, the doctor said stat. But if it's a week, another couple hours doesn't matter. It couldn't be 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I'm not processing the results immediately.

Just so rude. Why do you have to do it? Well, I said I would do it. So, yeah, I got to fucking bite the bullet and get up fucking early. But it is kind of like, you know, if we're late, you know, they'll fucking still take you. You know, they're not going to be like, go home. What's up with Uber? It's so awful, though, because, you know, you're going in.

You're kind of scared. He's got to take what? I got to take quailudes. Xanax. He's got to take Xanax, yeah. You know, then you've got to do it. Quail Lus. You've got nobody there for emotional support.

And I feel like you need some emotional support. You're the other one? Oh, boy. If you were a driver, my two better job. Yeah, they want five stars. They're just doing it for a fucking tip. I'm not getting a tip. Can you record it?

Set up a GoPro in the car for the ride. What happened? The MRI sucked a GoPro into the room. So when do you take your fucking your quailudes? They gave me enough to take one to test to take a test one. When are you going to take the test one? Probably like Sunday during football. So then you can, like, stare at your hand and be like, whoa, bro, there's Cosmos in there.

Nobody knows. Go cowboys. No, they're not playing this week. They got a five week. So you're going to take a test run with the Quailudes. Yes. And how will you deem them like this is successful or unsuccessful? What has to happen?

Well, I want to know what they feel like when I take them and like, you know. You're going to fall asleep. Okay. Well, then I don't. If you like to rip your clothes up and start. He'll be freaked out when I started, like, nodding off. Yeah, yeah. He started ripped in his clothes off.

He just starts wandering, parading around the airport plaza, proclaiming like he's... I eat a baby. He's the king of the plaza. I eat a baby for Trenti's top thing. It's a hamburger. It's like an Halloween when they're driving up to pick up Michael Myers and there's just people wandering around. Right, yeah. In the rain and shit.

You've got to be careful, then. I think they're like, I think quailudes are like bath salts and shit, so you don't want to be fucking, you know, maybe we should strap you down when you take you. when you take it. So I don't go and eat Rod's face or something. I'll bring in a couple belts and we'll belt you to the fucking chair. I won't freak out. Just like the MRI. I'm good now.

You can let me out. I'm feeling pretty good. He's like the guy in the thing. Yeah. You can't help me? You couldn't get like Jimmy the hair guy to do this for you? You got a bottle of poor wall? I'm doing it.

I'll do it. Where is it? Where's your office? You know where the Toys R Us used to be in Eaton Town? He asked Jeff to do it. Jeff goes, I think I'm working. He literally works a mile away. And I'm like, you could take a lunch break and pick me off.

He works half a mile away. Yeah. Are you guys going to Jimmy's wedding? I am, yeah. Yeah, you're going? I don't think I'm going. You know, I have a lot of anxiety about gatherings and stuff. You want to take one of these?

Tell them, Steve.
