Hey, a couple of quick announcements before the show starts. If you are on the $20, $40, $60 and $100 tiers on the Patreon, please, please, please go fill out your size poll for the T-E-S-D Sox that was sent to your email. If you can't find the email, check the junk folder. If you don't see it, please, please find out. And you can go to the Patreon and find it there, the poll. Yeah. It's called Sokut.

me the post is called. Really? Yes. Oh, that was clever. Did you come up with that? No, I did. Because I was like, that's pretty good. That'd be stolen, pal, right? I don't want to be guilty of that. That's Tommy Lincoln, I think. And please note, you must click on the poll and enter the size you want. Leaving a comment on what size you want will not work. You must enter it into the poll. And when these socks are set to ship out and if you did not vote, you will will not be asked for your size like I have in years past. You will instead be sent an alternate gift, most likely from something that shipped from a previous cycle. And finally, friend of the family,

Will Rogers, has asked if we could announce that his buddy, Alex Dawson and his stage show, the Devil and Daisy Dirt, will be showing at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center on February 20th, 21st and 22nd. That's going to be five shows over three days, Walt, a show on the 20th, two shows on the 21st, and two shows on the 22nd. Now, we saw this back in November when it was a sold-out performance. This is true. We helped sell it out.

You and I, we got tickets about a week before the show was to go on. And Will told me about the show. He's like, yeah, I got a friend of mine. He does this stage show with the Jersey Devil. And then he'd have to say no more. And once I said there's a devil in it. He goes, there's an eight foot tall puppet devil in it. Yeah.

I think puppet undersells it. But if they want to go with puppet, then puppet it is. But it is, it's amazing. It's, it goes, yeah, it's just. It's one of those things, one of the most creative, unique pieces of art I've seen in quite some time. It combines spoken word, music, like live music. There's a live performer guy on stage playing, singing. Playing his ass off.

Singing. Yeah. There's actresses. There's puppets, like I said, and there's props. I think calling a puppet is like calling something Jim Henson does a puppet. It undersells it. That's a Muppet. It's more than a Muppet.

Yeah, this thing is impressive. Yeah. So a little bit about... Special effects. Yeah. Here's a little bit of bio about the Daisy and Miss Dirt. The Devil and Daisy Dirt. Dirt.

After 50 sold out performances and Barnes, breweries, a music hallster out of the state. Cult sensation, the devil and David and Daisy Dirt. Daisy Dirt, a folk horror fairy tale about the Jersey Devil with live bluegrass and an eight-foot-tall puppet comes to the NB pack for five shows in late February. That's the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center. And we paid for our tickets. Yes. You paid, yes.

I paid for you to a, you were my plus one. And I was like, I really want to see the show. And Will offered me free tickets. But I did a little research on it. I looked at the photos and everything that came with it. I was like, no, man, I'll pay you to see this. This looks fucking dope. And it was.

Yeah. I mean, it's an immersive experience. It was fog through the, it was, yeah, it was, I was blown away. I actually bought merch. That's how blown away I was. I bought a T-shirt, too. I brought a hoodie, I think. I bought some pins, yeah.

Pins in a patch. Can't go wrong with pins in a patch. Our socks were knocked off. Thank God we're doing TSD socks in a few months because both of our socks were knocked off. We haven't recovered them. We left them in East Brunswick. Yeah. I got a $50 ticket, too, after from when.

to that show because I didn't put enough money in the meter. Yeah, so that, and I still was, I left happy and still was a great experience, even though I got a $50 parking ticket in East Brunswick. So, experience the timeless magic of what audiences are calling

New Jersey ET. And what weird New Jersey magazine calls the most original Jersey centric and downright, weird presentation in our state's theatrical history. Kevin Smith, Smodcastle Cinemas, in Weird New Jersey, present the Devil and Daisy Dirt, a Garden State Gothic event.

At the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, February 20, 21st, and 22nd. Get your tickets now. Visit nbpac.org for details. Dude, I'd love to just fucking sit there and throw chum at you as you walk through. It was a racist mime at SeaWorld. Go on. But these are pussy dead ends. These are dead ends?

Yeah, I'm coining that right now. These are pussy dead ends. Tell them, Steve, Dave. Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Tell him, Steve, Dave. Hello, hello, bud. Hello, Walt. Hello. Hello.

And hello, get him. How you standing? I've been curious. It's one of my notes. How have you been feeling lately? Are you bouncing back? Are you recovering? I've been backsliding a little.

Uh-oh. Yeah, but I've been going to physical therapy, so. What way have you been backsliding? Just like when I get up, like, my legs are stiff again. Like I had a period where like I could just get, I could actually get up without like assistance, but now it's kind of, I need to push off and off. So. Could just be age, buddy. I got to do that too.

Yeah, but like I said, like every time I stand up. Yes. Every time. Yeah. It's like your grandfather, your dad used to make that noise. Like that's every time I get out of the car. Yeah, but like two weeks ago, like I was able to get up. I got a bed fine, but I'll just all by myself, no, pushing off.

But then I like I just backslide it a little. So next time I go to the doctor, I'm just going to bring it up. All right. Well, that's how Gettom's doing. Backsliding a little. Yeah. But physical therapy's going well. We got the lowdown on his new coffee deal.

Well, you weren't here, Q, you missed it. I missed a coffee deal? Yeah, yeah. Go on. He's not going to Wawa anymore. He's making his own coffee. It's not that simple, though. It did not.

smell like coffee. When I came in, I noticed it immediately, did I? Yeah, yeah, you did. I was like, oh, man, it smells like coffee because I like to smell a coffee. I don't like the taste of it. But I thought he got a coffee candle. But then I was informed, no. You're not roasting your own beans.

He's brilliant. No, no, no, no. The dequestive health insurance has gone up. So, no, it's the scanner. Scanner out of the front. Just close the door. Hear noise. Your voices.

Yeah, it's just a, man, you were like, are you on the lamb that you think Don't say that again. The police scanner sent you into a tizzy. No, I was worried about sound of the, you know, the podcast we're doing more than anything. All right, no more scanner. All right, what do I got this week, Lutz? What have you got? People were interested in, is there, Walt, do you have any more on the Yarned Lady?

They were very disappointed that, like, we were like, yeah, the Yarned Lady left and now that was it. I didn't know how much more we could talk about it. I actually do have something I like to bounce off. Here we go. I want to see what your impressions are of the residents of Airport Plaza who, who immediately upon a longtime tenant leaving, who happens to have a sandwich board type of sign out that she used to put out front. Okay.

Like a plastic, like it's like that tooth. thing you folded out. Yeah, sure. It stands. It's called the sandwich board. I can't remember the, the, A frame signs. A frame size.

A frame size. So, apparently, there have been residents who are eyeing up her frame sign, a frame sign. She just abandoned it. Okay. And now there's a, there's the, the time period of when it's, when it's acceptable to, for someone to take that sign

and then make it their own. Where is it sitting? It's sitting in the hallway as you walk in. I think the day after she moves out, you bring it in, you wait a week, see if anybody notices. I'm popping out. You don't think it's like, it's absolutely class. But it's not classless for a woman who spent 30 years here, like within 24 hours. Like, the residents are like trying to pick the bones of her carcass to take a sign.

She sold yarn. She wasn't a fucking doctor or fucking mayor or anything like that. I think it's so gross. Like, he is so nasty. I'm like, you're, like, show some fucking level of respect. No, it means so little to her that she was like, I can't fucking leave it in the hallway. I don't care. But he's so worried that somebody else is going to take it.

And he's like, I saw somebody else hiding it up. Well, what's he going to put on the sign is more my question. Exactly. What are you going to put on the side? I was going to get a TSD thing made. Yeah. And put it out there so we can put it, like, out front. We don't, we don't.

Can you clean the mess in the, in the fucking office before you tackle that project? Exactly. A fucking year and a half. half with this goddamn disaster area we live in. But think about it. Cleaning that shit up. Yeah. We're stealing a sign, which is easier.

And then the sign goes on the fucking pile and now we've got a sign in that too. And then the new, like, I guess the new piece of artwork that would go on the sign would never get made. And then it would become another thing that just sits there and never has any use for us. Right. That I agree with. Right. So I was like, I don't want it in here. First of off, we don't want just people just wandering in anyway, though.

Anybody know who's coming here knows we're here anyway. We don't need a sign. What are you doing here? Yeah, we've had a couple of those. Yeah, I just thought it was like very, it made me feel icky, though, that like not only him, but apparently one of the Ron's was also eyeing up the sign. Circleing the sign like a vulture. I would let the Ron have it. Yeah, I would too, but I just also thought it was like, come on, man, she just left.

Can you vulture stop trying to fucking pick at her carcass? How long has she been gone? She left the beginning of the year, right? A week. January. A week? Yeah. Okay.

She left it behind. She don't care. I know, but it's just what she does come back. Maybe that's why she left it behind. She was like, I hope someone gets a use out of this. That I don't think so. But she left it in the whole way. That's where she always left it, though.

Yeah, but so she's basically littering at this point. She might come back for it. How embarrassing is that if she's like, knock, knock, oh, excuse me, do you happen to have my sign? And we got a shame. Call the cops on her. She don't belong here. Have her trust pets.

Yeah. Yeah, I was I was not keen on trying to like pill for her sign. I thought you were going to say, how do we feel about moving into her space? Well, I don't know what a space looks like.

There's no window over there either. It would be just like it would be a move just for, just for the sake of moving it. Sure. I mean, I don't know where she was. I think it's smaller too, possibly. It's one giant room as opposed to like four smaller rooms.

Yeah. If it had a window, maybe. Right. Right. but none of the offices Neropron applies that cum of windows for safety's sake

who needs egress or ventilation if we're a grandfathered in, safety things can't get in if they're spiring you can't get out either you'll notice no smoke detectors

in here if we're a grandfathered in we don't need smoke detectors yeah Eventually, they've got to come like, do you smell that? Makes you know you're back in the old occupation trying to fight fires. This is legally defined as a closet. Can we go back?

Can we go back? Can we come back? Do we go back to Red Bank? Do you think they let us have the little mini room back if we were like, hey, we had a fire? And they're like, your second. It can't have involved in their second. It depends on my listen to that episode. You would get pretty much blamed, though, as the fire guy.

Like, if fire follows you, if there's a fire here or two. Well, what if the condition of going back is you have to make a video? I would do it. Okay. I was in Florida myself, Q. Yeah, he went to... Went down the SeaWorld. You went to sea world.

I was wondering if you're going to pop down to whole Key West to meet me. I would have liked to. You could have. Yeah. That's a lot of Papa. That's a whole. That's a flight. No,

it's 48 minute flight. Yeah. I was to say that's a flight down. I just, I flew from QS to O'Lano was my parents. I mean, it was like,

yeah, yeah. The old Breeze Airways. You ever hear Breeze? No. Yeah, it's pretty nice, actually. Hmm.

$53 flight. I was like, this is dope, yeah. That's good. Fuck, I wish I'd know. I would have come done. Is that?

And then Sage and Mary Beth. Is that first class or? Uh, or if you want to upgrade to a first class, you can, pay you can either pay the $60 or you could do, they call it the breeze bid where you could

bid on it and whoever wins the bid gets the first class. Oh really? Yeah. Up to $60 because then you could just buy it. Right. Yeah. So I put it in a breeze bit of $40 and they put me up there. Nice. Oh, you won the bid? Well played. Yeah. Does it feel like winning at like AC or anything? It does because I know I could have just paid the 60.

So I was like, so I saved a couple of bones and I got to sit in the front row. Oh, yeah, it was nice. such a short flight though that it's like by time you're on the way down yeah 58 planes yeah 508 planes yeah it was uh they were uh look this isn't a breeze airways commercial but uh yeah they really impressed me what they had uh went to sea world it was did any listener come through nobody came through no that's okay yeah i didn't expect on such short notice anyway it's like by the time the episode came out and i went to

SeaWorld. What are the likelihood that there's an employee that somebody works there? Yeah. To the SDA at SeaWorld. Well, unlikely it seems. A possible one might say. 40 bucks to park there. That's what really surprised me.

That was like almost half the ticket price. That sucks. Yeah. Like I remember, I thought I remembered it being 20 and even at that I'm like, maybe we'll Uber over there, but then I'm like, oh, fuck it. It's probably going to be almost the same. Yeah, you just got to suck it. I mean, what do you do?

Can you take a trolley? Save fucking four dollars. Trollies there. There's trolleys. You might be able to take a, like, a bus. Yeah. Yeah. $40.

Yeah. You're paying it to not deal with the people on the bus. That's what you're doing. That's part of the experience. So for Sage, though. You want to deal with trolley people. Ew. But then you're Robin Sage of the experience of taking the trolley, too.

I am. I don't know what that means to her. You'd rather get there sooner or have the trolley experience. It's awesome because it stops everywhere. It does stop. Yeah. It takes like a 15 minute drive takes a. about an hour and a half on the trolley.

Then the anticipation builds, though. Like, when you finally get there, you are fucking chomping at the bit. I can't wait to get off the fuck off of this trolley and into it wherever I really want to go. Let's see when we were there. What happened? I tried to get Sage to steal a Coke because I knew she wouldn't do it. This kid has, like, morals that I didn't teach her. Like, I don't know where she learned not to steal.

But, like, she got this Coke. And I was like, oh, that's a lot. lot of money. Let's just take it. Let's just go out. Let's leave. Like just fucking around with her. She's like, no, data. They're stealing. And I'm like, where'd you learn this? Like, I never taught you this. Yeah. Yeah. Steal it from where. It's liberating. Like from one of the gift shops. It was like a bottle of Coke from one of the gift shops. I was like, we should just take it, right? She looks at me like, I'm like, should we fucking shoot the person and leave? It's nuts. Oh, good. Learned a thing from her. There was a racist mime at SeaWorld. Go on.

What is it? How do you do a racist? Was it black face instead of white face? No, it was a black guy in white face. Oh, that's the racist? I count that as racist. I count that as racist. Because they always had the same I'm there for like decades.

Yeah. And something happened with him. I'm not quite sure what the story was. Can you look it up, get him? See what, try to fucking. The line got fired. The park hours or something like that. He might have done something fucked up.

And I remember it was like he's gone. Yeah. And then there was this new mime. And he was a black guy with white face. Skinny? Skinny guy, yeah. Yeah, like a mime skinny. You don't see overweight mimes, do you?

That's what, no. No, I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think. Maybe in the Joker's gang or something like that, but that's about it. Sea World Mime fired after altercation with security. 36 years, yeah. 36 years. And he was a heavier guy.

Lynn the Mime from Sea World announced yesterday that after 36 years, he'll no longer be performing at Sea World. This is in 2024. Holy shit. His employment was abruptly. terminated after an altercation with SeaWorld security staff member. This dispute started when Lynn was riding his bike into work through the park to his dressing room. This is something he's done for years.

This particular security guard, though, is not having it until then he could not ride his bike through the park to his dressing room. It sounds like we got to get him on our hands. He just fucking has a badge and a fucking, and a security vest. And he's like, nope, you're not going to fucking ride through my park a lot. Right. Even though you've served 36 years for this park. Right. You made me stop my karate moves to this.

To HR. Yeah, Lynn explained during the exchange that he asked for clarification on why he suddenly could not ride his bike. And according to Lynn, he was not given a reason. He also read the rule book and there was nothing in there that states he could not ride his bike to the dressing room. I didn't make up my own rules. Yeah, but you enforced them, though, like you were enforcing. I enforce the ring rules because they apply to everybody. But you know some rules, you know, have to be, you have to look the other way in certain circumstances.

And a guy who served 36 years as your mime, you got to treat him a little bit more respect than that. Especially since he's done it every day. At least let him get in the fucking park they work in for 36 years. Oh, that sucks. And he's thinking of that, though. He works at SeaWorld. There's not a person walking through those gates that gives a fuck about a mime. All they're there for is to see aquatic fish.

I don't know. People, like if you go to that Clyde and Seymour show, people like that month. because he, like, fucks with the audience and stuff. Is there a seal on stage two with him? No. He's all by himself. All by himself. He's out there, like, directing people.

Yeah. Wow. He does deserve more respect than he got from the security guard. I think it's also because, like, nothing else is going on at the time. So you're just waiting. There is all sad. He does sad he is, too. Yeah.

Should be more sad that he was fucking worked 36 years as a mime. I mean, I had to tell you all about that. He's not even allowed back on SeaWorld. property after one security guard reported him to HR. Look at them balancing that hat on his nose. Oh, man. That's a talented mom. He had over 82,000 TikTok followers.

He said there wasn't a rule in C-World Handbook for prohibiting him from riding his bike on the path. I mean, I turn Rob Briggle down at the Super Bowl. Yeah, I've heard that story many times. Wow. What if it was one of the player? What if it was Peyton Manning? And he's like, I got to get to the, I got to get into the uniform.

The game starts in five minutes. You got to let me through. No pass, no entry. You'd be fucking walk of papers would be fucking. You served so fast by Roger Goodell. He'd slap you across the fucking face. I fucking hate guys like you. I hate guys like you.

There's something called discretion, you piece of shit. You fucking exercise discretion, you trash, human. You power-hungry motherfucker. I hate guys like that. You give them a little bit. a little bit of power. I'm like, dang,

you know, that's what the security guard here sounds like. Yeah. I'm a hard time. And I think the mine was like, look, I have fucking seniority over

almost everybody here. Including him, probably the security guard. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Apparently not. Yeah.

He may have been a pain and he asked him. Maybe they wanted him gone. Yeah, could have been. Like, enough with this mind. 36 years. 36.

Maybe he was looking a little long in the tooth. Maybe that makeup wasn't hiding all the wrinkles. Oh, there is something to say. Oh. Mm.

he was the Mime boss according to his shirt. Oh. There he is. He's there with his seal, though. With Clyde. Yeah. What, Clyde is the seal? Clyde is the seal?

Clyde and Seymour of the sea lions, yeah. Wait, so he does do an act with them? No, no, no. This is just a picture. Oh, yeah. How do you know those seals names then? Klein and Seymour? Because it's the Clyde Seymour show.

Did you see it? Yeah. Oh, of course. I love it. So they're calling the fucking Mime, this guy's old name? They're calling him Clyde. now? No, no, Clyde and Seymour are the seals.

Oh, I thought Clyde was the, was the Mime and Seymour was the seal. I was just replaced them, including his name? Man, there's absolutely no respect. Look, you're now Lynn, the Mime boss. Yeah, so he got kicked out and replaced him with a new mime.

Yeah, there you go. There's a picture with him. You should take a mime class, get him. You know, maybe our little extra bucks on the side. There's a fat mime. It's a fat mime. I guess he's a funny one. He's like the buffoonish one. Fry's daughter set up a go fund.

Could you go just a little bit higher for her father looking to help him to start up his own road show company? This was 2024. Yeah, this wasn't that long ago. This seems like family friendly juggaloes. Yeah, I never saw the two mime show. That's surprising. Gotta pay extra for that. Yeah, I guess so.

Two mimes and a cup. Mm-hmm. Got it. What else has? What else happened? What else happened? Well, I saw, I saw Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer band play. It's pretty awesome.

Is that like fuzz guitars and? No, it was, it was just his backing band and the guys that wrote the song with them. There was like 10 of them on stage. And they sang, I mean, it was almost 4,000 people there. They sold out of the amphitheater. And tickets were started at $100. They went up to like $1,200. Jimmy's not even there.

Jimmy's not even there. The backup band and the backup singers are performing this. All the same people that performed over the years, the Coral Reefers are there doing it. And holy shit, it was like middle-aged white guy heaven. It was just a sea of people. Everybody have their Hawaiian shirts on. The Parrotheads, not dancing in sync, but like, I looked at me and Gigi were there and we're looking around. And I was like, look at how everybody's having the best fucking time.

Does Jimmy like that? We're all a bunch of drunks, parrot heads. You think? Do you think when Jimmy sees this, when he sees this ticket sales? And he's like, they sold out? without me? I don't think Jimmy cares. I like, I know it likes to be like Margaritaville, Island Time,

but I bet you even, I guarantee he's a human being. He's fucking stewing. Oh, is he dead? Oh, is he the reason they did it. Oh, okay. He's like, I'm not doing it anymore. And they're like, well, we want to make money, Jimmy. So we're going on tour without you.

No, no. We got a new Jimmy. He's a black guy. No, it's more like a tribute show. Okay. All right. That makes more sense. Well, it was, it was, I mean, people were.

having a fucking blast dude. And I was... Cheeseburger in Paradise. Oh, you know it. Yeah. I got an ad earlier today for a space freely show. It's a loving tribute to Ace Freely. I was wondering if you were interested.

I wouldn't mind seeing space really. I'll send it to Ruff. Okay. Oh, man. When we were at one of the shows, it was the Orca show, a Shammu show. Yeah. Every once they're like they would clap for, you know,

they're like, and we're, you know, And today we're welcoming, you know, our military. And, you know, everybody clapped. And I start going like, thank you, thank you. Sage got so pished. She goes, they're not clapping for you. Like, really, like, annoyed. Really annoyed at me that I, that I was like, thank you, everybody.

She's a blast. Oh, she's fun. Yeah. She's really fun. What I thought Shamu was persona non grata there. I guess not. They still got two shamuz there. One Shamu and one, whatever their name is.

As the living conditions. I mean, they got to be like they can't risk a second of bad press. They have to be living in paradise those wells. Cheeseburgers in paradise and apparently shmoo. What's this? Shammu in paradise. Not in paradise. So do you think the park has returned to its heydays of attendance-wise, you know, in 2026?

Or do you think they're still struggling to get people to go through the turnstiles with all the bad press? I bet you people are like, what? Blackfish, what the hell is that? Oh, that's terrible. People are like a day out? That's more important than that. That's too bad because that was a movement I actually agreed with. Yeah, I was like, yeah, I get behind this one.

Yeah, I remember I was doing a show with Kevin down in Florida and Kevin was like, so you went to SeaWorld, huh? And this was like on the heels of Blackfish. Yeah. And they were like, oh, you're a piece of shit. You know, like everybody's booing me and shit. And I was like, fuck you. How many of you?

you drove here today in SUVs that are chewing up the fucking ozone layer. Like, fuck you. Dude, I'd love to just fucking sit there and throw chum at you as you walk through in a fucking dead heart style. It's like, go ahead. Fucking enjoy this, you piece of shit. All of my mouth and shit.

They just chummed me. Drop it on you. Mail killer. I've been chummed. Take this chummly. You fucking chumming, man. They chum me over in SeaWorld. It's not.

like fish. The blood of Kako is upon you. You're the fucking fish fascist, man. Yeah. Did you do anything else there in Orlando? The next day. No, we were only there for two days. Like, we had one travel day on one end, one travel day on the other end.

So we were only there for Tuesday and Wednesday. How come you only stayed for such a short period of time? I just want, like, if I stay like three or four days, it just seems too long. So I was like, we're going to get in there. One day to do things and then one day to go home? One day at Sea World. The next day, Sage just wanted to swim. So we went to the pool and she swam around and stuff.

Thankfully, it was like one of the, like the day that we got really lucky, the day that we went to SeaWorld and the day we went to the pool, we're both like 72 degree days. Okay, yeah. And then the day we left, it was 58. The day we arrived, it was 58. And they're like, yeah, we're about to go through a cold snap, which I guess means it's going to get even colder than it was. So. Yeah. To have an interest in going to see the Universal Monster exhibit that's at Universal Studios?

I did, but like to pay that much for shit that like, I'm like, I'm not going to go on the rides. like I'm not going to go on these roller coasters or anything. I don't think they're roller coasters. Frankenstein is. The Frankenstein is not really. It's like one of those where you're sitting in the chair and you hang from it. Oh, and you go through. But it doesn't do loops or anything like that.

At worst, it makes you look up with the ceiling and down. It was fine. You did it? I went on three times. I told you all about this. Oh, I thought that. Okay. No, I got the tour, remember from the guy who made it and stuff.

Yeah. I can't wait to go. It's great. Yeah. You're going this summer, right? I hope to. I'm not certain, but I'd like to go this. summer to crust that off my bucket list to see the Universal Monsters, you know, put back

into prominence, you know, where they rightfully belong in that studio. They, they should be own in that studio. Yeah, I agree. You just got to be careful because, like, the, you know, it's five lands. Like, it's five. Yeah, I know there's Harry Scooter, whatever's name is. Yeah, Harry Scooter and, um, and, uh, Potter, Sumario, Sumerio, Sumerio. Oh, that's, that's new that. I've never seen it. I'm not interested in that either. All of these are new. Every park is new.

It's a separate location. It's not, you're not going to the Universal Studios you went to. It's like 10 miles down the road. Oh. Yeah. So there's,

so I'll have multiple tickets then, right? No, no, no. Well, all those lands that are with monsters are all one ticket. We, but the last time I was in the Info Studios, I was what get them. Well, only a couple years ago.

Yeah. How come we didn't see any of this stuff? They were building it. Oh, okay. It's all new. All new. Completely new. Mm.

So what happened to the Marvel world? That's still at universal. That's still at the main universal. Still operating. Still there. It's great. Yeah. They updated the Spider-Man writer.

It looks like it's pretty cool. All the graphics are up there. So what is the other? So there's universal monsters? So you walk into, it's called Epic Universe. Epic Universe is the name of the park. You walk in and there's Super Mario Land, Harry Potterland,

How to Train Your Dragon Land. What's that from? How to Train Your Dragon. That's a movie. That's a movie. Harry Potter is cool because it's not like the one. It's based on the, It's based on the

Fantastic Beasts. So they set it in Paris in the 20s And the land is, you walk in, I do it, it is like walking into Paris. It's insane. Wait a minute. So this has been there for a while though,

right, Harry Potter? All knew. They just built this part. Wasn't there Harry Potter there before? In the other park. In the other park. That's, that look cool too. That's at the diagonal

some alley. It was cool. It's great. It's all great. Harry Potter is that popular? It warrants two. fucking parks? There's three.

There's three in Orlando alone because you have two, two in Universal. There's two different universal parks there. Okay. And there's a Harry Potter in each of those. And now they have the epic universe where they put in another Harry Potter one. That shit hasn't died down yet? I think it's. It's just more popular than ever?

They're making a new HBO is making a new Harry Potter show and stuff like that. Okay. Wow. Maybe the monsters aren't as popular as I thought they were. I assure you they're not as popular as Harry Potter. They can't make more money off the monsters than Harry Potter? Remember this guy? I wish they could.

So we came home Thursday night. We stopped the Texas Roadhouse for dinner. It's always a nice spot. Not always. No? Dude. Orlando, Texas? No, this is in Jersey.

Oh, Jersey. Over at Homedale, yeah. Okay. Well, first we had, I found out, like, before we even left, I found out that Princess Mitch had diabetes. Oh. So I had to start giving her insulin shots twice a day. And, you know, she's, she's one of these cats that's skittish around people. She doesn't know.

So I can't, like, have somebody watch her or whatever. So we boarded her at this cat place over in, um, over in Lindcroft. And they only do cats. There's no, like, bark and dog. It was really, it was really a nice place to, uh, to set your cat. They had, like, these separate cages that were big. with cat trees that they can mess around in and all this. So we go to Roadhouse, Texas Roadhouse on the way home.

And I know I have a history of having problems with waiters and waitresses, but you like the past couple. Yeah, me, if you could believe it. But we sit down and it's 15 minutes before anybody even comes to the table, which is like an excessive amount of time. So I'm annoyed, but I'm still like, all right. I'm not going to. You're just back from vacation. You're not on fucking vacation time. It's kind of on a high.

Kind of on a high But this is But 15 minutes is taking me out of it a little bit. So the guy comes by He's like we order everything at once Because now we're ready I'm not exaggerating Another 15 minutes goes by

Nothing, no drinks, no food Mary Beth is like Oh, the vet's call And I got to go take this call So she comes in And she's like when we She goes outside She comes back in

She's like she took the call We have to pick up Princess Mitch tonight she's not doing that great which I did not want to hear especially on the heels of this fucking dickhead ruining our dinner. So I'm just like fuck it, we're leaving. And I didn't make a big stink about it. We just left.

I didn't talk to any managers, any shit like that. I was just like, fuck it, let's go. So we go get Princess Mitch and she is not looking good and they did x-rays and she had the same shit. She was like getting fluid in her lungs and she had the same shit that like, that she had when I used to get her,

I had to do all those operations for it. It's like this weird, like sinewy stuff that like was growing in her. So we're like, all right, fuck it. We'll bring her home. We'll let her spend the night at the home. And,

uh, because it's like nine o'clock at this point. Well, to spend the night at home, we'll bring her to the vet the next day. And there was no next day for her. Oh, no.

Dude, I fucking was like, no, Princess Mitch. Oh, how old was Princess Mitch? She was 11. So it's like she got,

on one hand, you know, Mary Beth was trying to console me. She got a lot of years out of me paying for her to go to the vet and get all those operations. Yeah. But, like, she was like, there was a moment, like, within the past two months where I'm like, should I hold back on feeding this cat? She is so fat now. She got really heavy, you know?

And then suddenly she just started going down, down, like losing weights. So we brought her to the vet. She's got the diabetes. So we're going to, we're going to give her insulin. And I'm thinking to my mind, I'm like, so what? cats live to like 15-16 so the next fucking five, six years I'm going to be given this cat insulin. I was like, I guess that's, I guess that's what it is.

I give chesty fluids twice a week. Right. Yeah. And then, you know, after, you know, after I heard the bad news about her, you know, at the vet, and I'm like, she's probably not going to make it. I'm like, I would give anything to give her insulin for the next six years, you know. She was such a fucking sweet cat. And I know everybody says that, like, I don't say that about Salem.

Right. Because he'll fucking scratch you out of nowhere. Yeah. You can be petting him. And suddenly he's like, you know, get you. Little cat, forget her. She's like on another planet. She's a maniac.

Yeah, she's crazy. But Princess Mitch was a really sweet cat with her little black nose. Yeah, like now starting to get choked up thinking about her. Yeah, really fucking sucked. So were you with her? Like, did you spend the night with her? Spent the night with her. Yeah, she was on the bed.

And she didn't die in the bed, thankfully. But she was like on the bed. And we were petting her and she was purring and we put her on the heating pad for a little while because she loves the heating pad. And then suddenly she jumped down and she crawled under the bed because sometimes that's where she goes to sleep. and then the next morning she was just, she was gone. And I wasn't, like, totally shocked, but it was, yeah, I was like, God, fucking damn it. Because I was also thinking, I'm like, all right, she has that shit in her lungs or whatever. I'm like, but they do the same thing they did last time, but I'm like, she's also eight years older now.

And the way she looked, I'm like, there's no way she can fucking handle it. There's no way she could handle the same kind of, you know, handling that, uh, or care that she was getting back then. Yeah, it's like she was like maybe three or four at that point. Maybe not even that old. Dude, I'm real sorry to hear it.

That's horrible. Yeah, it's like it's a worst part about owning a fucking pet. It's like a lot of times it's the only bad part about owning a pet. It's like they bring you so much joy. Yeah. And then, you know,

you have to deal with the inevitable. I know, but you know what, dude? Honestly, like, she held on one night. She could have died in that cage without you.

That's a Mary Beth said. You know, like that's, that's a gift. Yeah, that's a Mary Beth said. She was like, you could have, like, gotten back on top of the waiter being a fucking shithead. Like she would have died alone, like, I separated from you guys wondering what's going on. Yeah, like her last memory. If cats have memories, her last memory was always being like, see you later. Yeah.

So you got, you kind of got a gift in a little bit of a way. I was thinking the only way you can avoid that, like, that kind of, you know, the worst part of owning a pet is to, the next pet. you get there's like a tortoise. Yeah. Who outlives me. Yeah. Tortoise or parrot or something. Yeah.

Well, dude, that's why I'm like, you know, I said to Mary Beth. I was like, what would you do if I came back with a kitten, you know? Like, she'd be like, well, I wouldn't be really mad, but, you know, I would be like, I'm not ready for another cat just yet. Then I started thinking, I'm like, you know, if this cat lives another 11 years, like, I don't know. I do this man all the time. I'm like, how many more cycles of cats do I have left?

Yeah. I'm like, I might only be one. Yes. I hear you, man. That's what I was thinking. I was like, maybe I shouldn't get a kid and get an elder cat, you know? But then you see those ones that go to like 20 years. 20 plus years.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Benjamin was 19. Yeah. No. They're getting up. I mean, Chessy's 16 now, you know? Yeah. Wow.

So they're getting up there. How's Boris doing? He's a fucking bad past. He's awesome. But he's two and a half. I mean, he's a fucking maniac still. Yeah, they're fun when they're maniacs. I call him what to expect.

Like you don't know what they're going to do next. It's like one minute you're petting them the next minute they're tearing down the hallway and attacking something. Yeah, he's getting better playing catch too. Like, like, now it's just like I have to stop because I'm like, all right. I'm like, I don't want to do this right up out of me. Yeah. Oh, I was a fucking TSA agent gave me a bunch of shit.

I was like, like 99 times out of 100 if I'm flying. Like if I go through the TSA precheck. Yeah. Because I have it. So this time when we go through... This is Orlando, right? This is Orlando. Yeah.

We go through Orlando. And I have the TSA pre-check, but Sage doesn't have it. So I just go through the regular check with her. And when I got to the, um, the, uh, where you put in your luggage and everything, I said, uh, do I have to take my coat and shoes off? I said, I have TSA pre-check. And he's like, this isn't TSA pre-check. Oh, okay. You're that guy.

You're fucking get them. I think we have. Yep. And I said, I was like, yeah. I know, I know. They usually give you the blue elaminated card to hand. It's a fucking process. I said, but most times people will just, you know, allow for it.

And he's like, yeah, but this isn't TSA pre-check. And I was like, I don't want to be one of these people on video. I want to be on a fucking list. So I'm like, all right. I usually that they're good there. I'll take my fucking coat off or my jacket, my sweat jacket or whatever the fuck I was wearing. You know, but it's like, yeah, it's that kind of guy that's like, everybody else gives you the little blue slip, but not him.

That's why the little blue slips exist. That's why they exist. It's so stupid. But he's like when he's doing it, he's like one of these guys, he's not looking at me when he says it because he's a little pussy boy. I at least made eye contact. Yeah. I'm sure I get a staring regular right in the eyes. No, sir.

Get a boner, grown bono. Yeah. Tells people they can't do something. Wow. I usually the people are Orlando airport are. I always strike them as surprisingly like. Oh, he's all right. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I find that most times, like even Nork. Like, I never have a problem in Newark. I don't know why people complain about it. People hate Nork and I'm just like, every time I go, I sell right through. I don't, I don't know what it is. I take, I fly like minimum twice a month. I always use Newark and it's always easy. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. There was that one little stretch of like a week where it got a bad rep because they're like, well, they would show the lines. They shut down the, the, the, the one of the runways is getting really. surfaced and nobody wanted, I don't know why they didn't just say that, but they didn't say that and people were like,

Foking, this place sucks, right. Well, they also had the, they moved the air traffic controllers down to Philadelphia. So they were having communication problems between the airport and where the air traffic controllers are, yeah. So that's why they had to start cutting the flights down,

like 10%. Oh, no, yeah. Always worked good for me. But I usually go to like Orlando or L.A. or New York, US or something like that. It's really like, hubs that they have to have their shit down tight, you know? Yeah.

But whatever, man. All right. Well, let's talk about Ridge. Who? Ridge. Ridge. Yes. Yes.

Are they worth more? Oh, they have a star on them because that that run of money was deemed unfit for some reason. So they destroyed it and reissued it. But when they reissured, they put a star at the end of the serial number. So whenever I get them, I just save them. But you don't save them. You carry around with them every living day of your life.

Yeah. So I don't spend them. What's going on now? Yeah. It's, it's, I don't want to spend it. Because they're star bills. And I would leave them home then, not take them every day. where you're at in case you have an emergency and you're like, oh my God, I need my star bill.

The fold of the star bills alone is bigger than any wallet I've ever had. Yeah. You've got a lot of star bills. It's definitely bigger than a rich wallet. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Wow. Could you fit that in a ridge wallet, I wonder.

I think you might be able to. I'd love to try to find out. Mm-hmm. You know what? I have a ridge wallet at home. Next week I'll bring it in. we'll try it up. Okay.

All right. What makes you do that? I got two. Well, what makes him do that? Do what? The star? Like, that's what? That looks to me like a hundred, a hundred bills.

Autism. Yeah. Yeah, but what is it? What is inside him? Like, what's the thought process? It's, it's all about keeping something that he deems rare. And he has it. And if it ever comes up, he can show somebody.

I'm like, Starbills are gay And he's like, oh, no, they're not Check out how many I have. One starbill will do that. One would suffice. Yeah. But this is a man, if you ever, if you ever go, When you're leaving today and you're getting in your car to drive home,

go look in his Jeep. Oh, I've seen it. It looks like our office. On wheels. Yeah. Is this still have the horse head in there? And then you're asked yourself, I'm really worried about his wallet,

the state of his wallet. I really think he's got much more bigger. issues than the wallet. But you don't see them as issues though. No. No. You wouldn't. Not if you're, you know, you can't identify that in yourself.

But these are pussy dead ends. These are dead ends. Yeah, I'm pointing that right now. These are pussy dead ends. These are in the maze quest, the eternal quest. First he pulls out the big of wallet, then he pulls out a star bill to impress the girl. And she's like, see ya. This is really good.

I got a new game today. It's perfect. It's called Gidim's Gift of Gab. Okay. And it comes into place so beautifully. Great. Into like the mind of a Gid of Steve Gave. And how you guys see things so differently than me and him. Okay.

It's not really about Ridge, but it's like, they say they have like the air tag attachment one. I bought some air tags because I'm like, I'm going to put one in Sage's backpack, because she gets home at all different times. So if I have one in her backpack, I'll know when she's going to get home so I can go out there and meet her. Great. She doesn't have a phone? She has a phone, but she doesn't use it.

I don't know why. Can you use that to track her? I guess I probably could. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she should sit on her bedside table for the past year. Oh, okay. Oh, she would have to carry it everywhere.

Well, I could put it in her bag. Yeah, I could put it in her bag. Yeah, but then you got to charge it all the time. Yeah. But the air tag, you don't have to charge? No. Oh, okay. Yeah, but the air tag, I'm like, I put it in her bag and I'm like, I don't know exactly where she is.

Not the case. You can only do it if somebody is on like the network and their Bluetooth is working the same as your blue. Like, I looked it up and I was like, okay, so this isn't an anything, it's not GPS. It's not anything I thought it was. Oh, then the phone would be far more. Yeah, the phone's desirable device to use than the air tag. Yes, exactly, exactly. I even think of the phone to tell you the truth because I forget she has one.

That's a good idea. All I'm doing is tracking everybody in my life. It's a disease. Oh, you really? Yeah, it really is. It's a stress anxiety thing. Wow. I wish I, like, at times I'm like, I say to myself, I'm not going to look and see what's going on because I don't want to like worry or anything.

Because if it's later at night then. Right. You know, but yeah, it's one of the, it's like the best and worst thing. Yeah, my friend's daughter, my friend's daughter is going to college in, uh, in Vegas. And she looks at it and she's like, she's in a tattoo shop on fucking love Vegas. And I'm like, I'm like, just shut it down.

It doesn't mean she was in there, though. It could be like that. She was in there. She was in there. Yeah. Oh. She's 18.

What are you going to do? No, nothing you can do, man. Yeah, but that's that helpless feeling, though. But there are so many times, though, that I cannot stop myself from just checking. And then inevitably, I'm like,

I wake my wife up and I'm like, call her, see what's going on. Why don't you call? Because they'll be like. Because that, Because then it's like that awkwardness of like, you know, I want, like, I want my wife to do it. Yeah. Yeah.

It's just what works out better. And Deb's on board? She's like, all right, let me call. Well, then she's like, at first she's not. She's like, why are you waking me up? And then eventually I'll just, I'll be like, I'll wake her up enough to her and have her do it. Right. Yeah.

There was one time that she said that they were, like the one time I freaked out completely is that said that she was in a hospital. The phone was in a hospital. And I was like, what the fuck? So I wake my wife up and we're calling no answer, recalling no answer. And then finally she answers and she's like, I was never in a hospital. So that's why I said it doesn't mean. It's like the Jones Beach thing all over here.

Yeah. I was never in a hospital. She goes, I don't know why it said that. But it like it absolutely showed that she was in hospital. She could have been somewhere next to the hospital. But I just, when I zoom in, it's at hospital. Shit, man. It's interesting at their ages, they're not like, you're not fucking tracking me.

I kind of want to be tracked at my age. Well, they track us. Yeah. Yeah, they're like, they know what we're doing. Like, why are you here? What are you doing over there? You know, they don't do it in a way that we're worried. They're just like, why are you over in Ocean County?

Why are you eating at Roy Rogers in Ocean County? I was going to say, it's either Texas Roadhouse here, the post office or home. I was like, because dad had to have mashed potatoes. So we drove up an hour to have. half to a Roy Rogers. I have one of my friends who, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to ruin it, but accidentally shared their location with me. And so every once in a while, like, not looking at what they're doing, but I'll look at

the math, I'll see where there are. It's just funny to know where your friends are. Yeah, I mean, at a time, I didn't, I wondered if you guys were up forever, all of us sharing our location, so we just know everybody is at all times, just as a safety feature. I'll do it. I don't want to get them knowing where I have. I don't think you could do it with your phones. With either any of your phones, I don't think it would work.

I have Google. I have an iPhone. So there's really only two places you could be. Either Debbie's or here. Yeah. And maybe in April when you go away. But otherwise, that is it, though. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. If you tracked me, I'm, it's insane. Like, if you were to look, track me, you'd be like, he might have died. He's been in the house so long. We need a welfare check I hasn't moved to two weeks He's an elderly man I'm concerned for

Yeah so that's it for Ridge Let's see what else do I got here We're going to be calling Johnny Law pretty soon Yeah I there was some advice I needed from a lawyer Regarding something that has Come up And I wanted to get John

Johnny's thoughts on it. He probably got food in it or something. No, that was a gift from Danny the lawyer. What's inside it? I think the same thing that was in your bags. Yes, thank you. Danny the lawyer from episode 600 sent us some wonderful gifts. Was it in the middle of the floor?

You'd have to ask you. It wasn't. I think he dragged it over there. Dragged it from where, though? The couch. Oh, he got up on the couch? I think he pulled it off the couch, yeah. Oh, I don't know.

I'm surprised that he could do that. You might not have. This is comfortable. Get him fucking put it right where it lives. You want to play the game or you want to talk about more stuff? Well, I mean, what do you got? I got, I was fucking annoyed on the plane, but like, I don't know how, do you fly a lot? You're not always in first class.

No. Sometimes you're a coach guy. How do you feel about people that put their fucking seats back? For that extra fucking three inches of, it's not even relaxing. I guess you could tell how I feel about it. It's not like you kick back the three inches and you're like, ah, all you're doing is robbing the person behind you of three inches of legroom. Yeah, I, I hear you.

I don't know. It's a sticky wicket. I don't, I usually don't put my seat back. Right. But I think I have a hard time. Because the back might hurt. I mean, how long is the flight, you know what I mean? Like, if that.

I don't know that would, I think I would feel like someone has a right to put their seat back. If the seat goes back that far, They have that right. They definitely have the right. But a lot of people consider a common courtesy to not put it back. I rarely put it back. Yeah. I never do.

Unless in a rare occasion there's nobody behind me. And even then, I usually don't know. Usually, yeah, I don't know. I don't think it would bother me. But I understand what you're saying, though. Yeah. It's already tight back there. Yeah.

And hot off the fucking TSA agent, give me shit. I'm like, this fucking bitch is now going to fucking. One thing after another. Yeah. I just wanted to get home. And then I got home in my fucking cat. That's dying. It was not a good return.

But what are you going to do? Bad reentry. What are you going to do? What do I got here? I didn't investigate this, but I'm starting, I read somewhere that Helen Keller is bullshit. There was no way you could teach a blind deaf person how to read braille. They said that what was her name, Annie Sullivan? Anne Sullivan, was that her name?

The lady who shepherded her around? I don't know. They said it was a money-making opportunity. Annie Sullivan. Annie Sullivan, yeah. That she, it was just like a smoke and mirror stage show. I don't know. Why?

I know. Like I said, I didn't get to investigate. What year was this, would this have been? Helen Keller, the greatest liar in American history. This is from 2017. I know, but what year was Helen Keller alive? Wasn't it the early 1900s get them? Let's find out.

Let's see. 1880 to 1968. Damn, she was old. Wow. Yeah. What makes you believe that article, though? Like, I like seeing shit uncovered, like stuff that you thought was real.

Smarter than I am. Wait a see. Her IQ is what? 160. Yeah, but at least you could see. And you can hear, right? Yeah. You poned her.

You poned Heller Keller. Hell or Keller? Though she experienced blindness and deafness from infancy, demonstrating extraordinary intellect through her rapid learning of language and earning a college degree, proving her exceptional cognitive capacity despite profound sensory impairments. So you think it was like facilitated communication? Like Annie Sullivan was helping her along the way. Yeah, like those, you know, it's sad when the parents are deceived, but like, you know, the ones who like they hold the kid's hand and like type out messages and stuff. But she lived to 87 though, and like she did, she became an activist. You see that article and you immediately believe that there might be not be an agenda or like, you know, they're taking a stab at an icon.

She is an icon, but if she isn't deserving of it, I want her to get stabbed. Who's this fucking clown that wrote the article, though? Why are you so willing to just. Jack O'Shea, respected journalist from what is this? Oh my God. I mean, I don't believe it. with just a little, I mean, he might have an agenda. I told you, I didn't do any, I didn't do any, sharpening his knives or, I don't know.

And he's going after somebody just to get probably clicks. You want some clicks. He's like, who can I go after that? People will click on it. I'll call Helen Keller a sham. The Helen Keller scammer refers to modern and conspiracy theories often on social media like TikTok claiming she faked her deafness and blindness or accomplishments rooted in historical ableism that denied people with disabilities could achieve intellectual feats.

along a separate older plagiarism accusation over her story, the Frost King. Well, why haven't we seen another Helen Keller then? Why are we not seen another blind person who has achieved all this shit, blind deaf person? Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder. He's not deaf. He is. I thought he was deaf, dumb and blind.

No, he's not deaf. He could talk. He's just blind, yeah. What does it mean? There's probably plenty of people. But they're not stories that anybody cares about anymore. You know what gets more clicks? saying Helen Keller is a sham over the next Helen Keller.

That's way more clickable story because it's negative. And it's like you're tearing down something that people hailed as a phenomenal achievement. Right. Like the moon landing. Yeah. People like to tear it down. I just, I have a hard time believing it too. I'm worried about you and getting older on the internet, man.

You just like immediately, you're like, Helen Keller was a sham and I'm not taking any more medicine. Yeah. It's devil's potion, you know. Yeah, I don't know. Could be. I just want to know. Like, since 1968, we've not seen another Helen Keller come down the pike. Yeah, but you don't want to know because you've done no research.

But there might be another extraordinary person who has, who is blind and deaf or whatever or mute or whatever and has achieved anything. But you wouldn't know because it's not a story that. that's going to make the rounds. That's a story. I don't see why, though. I don't see why. Like Helen Keller, too? Like, how is that?

That should be a movie. What are the, what are the things, though, that she can do or he could do in a post-Hellen Keller world now? I don't think there's a lot of injustices or. Oh, you're saying that the ableism doesn't exist these days. I think people care more and are more understanding and more compassionate than they were back in the 1800s for somebody who dealt with, with what she's going through. Sure. Sure. And the, the, the, the,

so there's no real big battle to fight anymore. People now as a society are more than willing to do whatever it takes to help those people try to live as normal life as possible. Does it make the deaf, dumb and blind, lazy then? If us able people are catering to their every need so they don't have to learn like Helen Keller. I don't think you could ever call somebody who's dealing with what they're dealing with as, as. And now you're on Helen Keller's side. Their eyes don't. Their eyes don't learn.

Their eyes don't work because they fucking closed them and took a nap. They don't work because they just don't work. This space freely guy looks a lot like monster magnet. He does. Yeah, he really does. For a second, I thought it was him. That's got to be AI, right? I don't think so.

You think so? Why? I just said I don't think. It just looks too perfect, though. I don't think that looks perfect. That guy looks perfect. I think it looks like. Like the thumbs out of focus?

His skin is so smooth. Yeah, he definitely filters on his face and shit. You can slap a filter on that, right? Surrounded by Aces. I got ripped off in Key West. What happened? The mayor of Key West got ripped off. You can fucking believe it?

I bought sunglasses. My sunglasses broke, so I went in to buy sunglasses. I had a nice chat with a lady. She sells me these sunglasses. 100 bucks, polarized. I'm like, all right, well, whatever. Let's take it. I go on,

I fucking get on the plane. I get on the breeze, the breeze flight. It falls off. I step on it. I break the arm. I'm like, but I like them when we go on Amazon in order.

40 bucks on Amazon. Really? Yeah. I got fucking taken like a pigeon plucked. That was your first class seat on breeze. 60 bucks you got ripped off. You know, and I know the shop and I know the lady.

We had a nice conversation. But I guess like. Really? Yeah. She saw this pigeon coming up the fucking walk. She saw me coming down the fucking block. and took me for over 100%. Yeah, really.

It was like 40. She quick fucking crossed up before. Yeah. I got fucking boned. Oh, I was so unhappy. Oh, I hate to hear that kind of shit. Because, like, that would bother me for days.

Yeah, it didn't bother me. Like, I was just like, all right, she got me. That's what I get for just fucking walking in, like, I'm the mayor. Like, they love me here. Don't have a dude on. I'm going to pay for these? I remember that happened. I was working at a gas station and some guy came in.

Oh, I sell Oakley's. And I got these Oakley's. I can let you have them for like $40. Yeah. I was like, oh, hell yeah. They were Sokleys. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Oh, man. I don't know what to do about it. There's nothing. Go back with the broken arm glass. I'd be like, hey, man. She fell apart. Let the buyer be where. Wait, well, I just did the polka on them and the Frize, the breeze polka.

Oh, you were annoyed. Yeah. But, yeah. I mean, but let the buyer be where, right? I'm the only one responsible for. I could have done a quick internet search. I have come into possession of something that has catapulted within a matter of hours of owning it to become my most prized possession. Whoa, what's that?

It is something called a VC box. A VC, a VC box, smart media player. B-S-E-E box. Where did you get this? I cannot say where I got this. I know where you got it. I'm not going to say, but I can't believe I haven't got one yet. And you're listening, motherfucker.

This device allows me to view anything on the planet. Okay. Any network? It's like a cracked, code broke. Like a fire stick except better. I don't even know how to describe the wonders that this box. It has, when you open this box, it is like Pandora's literal box. You, there's no.

For days, right? Oh, my God. There's nothing inside of it. It's just the box. I just want to see what the box clean. Is it doing its indented purpose or this is jailbroken? We don't want to, we don't like to talk in terms like jailbroken. Yeah.

But there's a program on this that gives you access to everything. There is a program that gives me access to almost every, piece of media that exists on the planet. Live sports. Except Peretta. Except, yeah. The only thing I can't find the TV show Beretta, but Robert Blake. That was the first thing I couldn't find when I searched it.

But it is a wonder. It is like the greatest invention since fire. But it's stealing. Some people would call it back. That's why I want to tell me. I'm liberating. To Johnny Law, I want to get his because I have an opportunity to become the only licensed VC box sales agent in the

mammoth and Ocean County area. Okay. Where I could be selling these boxes to people I know for the low, low price of $299. But let me ask you something. I think it was worth it. Yeah, for a lot. But I'm worried though. Is it new stuff? Like as, as HBO airs a new Game of Thrones, it pops up on this?

Yes. It also has stuff that doesn't even It hasn't even been in the theaters yet. I have family members that have something like this. Yeah. I don't like it. Why? Is it stealing? It's not stealing.

Of course it is. It's not stealing. Well, what if I don't utilize those aspects of the box, though? Then what is doing? So I've been staying up, this is a dangerous device right here. Okay. Because I'm staying up to like 6 o'clock in the morning, you know, watching shows that I haven't seen in decades. Like Mary Tyler Moore, I'm like, I think I went three days without sleep watching

Mary Teller Moore. And I have, like, I could watch that Neil Diamond movie. Yeah. But I don't watch it because I'm like, you're right. I'm like, I mean, I don't want to like steal. It's a cable box all over again. Yeah. It is.

Yeah. My wife is terrified of this. She thinks this is a serpent, you know, that's going to bite us. I know a lot of people that have it. And the serpent hasn't come for them. And I, but I also worry that I only paid a one time. fee for it. Yeah.

And at some point, someone's going to turn a faucet off. It's going to break. Yeah. And. What is the purposes of this thing without the illegal aspect of it? What?

It has everything I want. No, but like, they can't sell it with that purpose. Like, what is the purpose of the device? Well, you can add whatever you want to it then. It's up to you to load it up with what your... We're just providing the box.

Yeah. We provide you the technology. It's how you use it. Yeah. That's why it's not illegal to have this box. That's how I tell my wife. But there is, I could make a lot of money selling these around here. Man, I could go up and down this plaza and be rolling in it.

You're going to be like the Oakley's guy. People are like, what? $300. But I'm worried, though, though, then if I start selling them, though, when they eventually, the faucet gets turned off, they're going to come looking for me and want their money back there. Looking for the King of Monmouth County. Could be. Yeah, that's what I don't want to do.

I want to talk to Johnny about the, because I think this is the definition of a victimless crime. Right. I love my. Like, Hugh's face. So perplexed. How is that? This is the absolute legal definition of victimless crime.

I don't see a teller. Why is it not? Who's the victim here? Disney? All the people that are making the show that you're stealing for free? What, Mary Charlemore? They're all dead. They're all dead.

They're all dead. No, I'm not stealing any of the shows that people care about. Like, I'm not stealing, like, the new shit. Yeah, but people are. People are, yeah, but. Because of stuff like this. But if they were to take my device and confiscate it and then, like, open up the guts, they'd be like, he hasn't stolen anything. Well, you said sports.

I haven't really watched any of the sports. I don't know about this. You've got to be honest with Johnny Lill. You can't be shuffling, like I see you doing right now. I'm trying to get out of being wrong. Well, let's call him and see where I'm. You can't be like me at the doctor. I only have three beers a night.

I'm telling you, though, I think I could clean up. You probably could, yeah, but you're right. Like, what if you sell 10 of them and then the next day they brick them all? Yeah. Well, buyer beware. Byer beware, just like you said, caveat mTOR. I guess you're right. Yeah, they're breaking the law.

They're criminals. The baron does say caveat mTOR. Yeah. That is it going to hold up when some of them got me by the throat. And here you go. You sell it as the baron. I mean, maybe if you were just like, look, this could get, I don't know. Oh, we got to put our things on?

I don't know how much that would increase his credibility to dress as the Baron and sell them. No, he can call it the Baron box. Could. Ooh, I like that, the Baron Box. I could sell them to listeners. Yeah. Listeners was definitely. They would fucking almost like be gleeful if it was like it got bricked and I was like, hey, have you got them to her?

They come signed. Yeah. With a sticker on it. Would you sign a cue? Or is that against your principles? Wait, what's that sorry? I'm going to start selling them to listeners. And signing it.

I'll do that. Did you call him? I'll call him right now. I'm telling you, man, it has been, all I do is think about it, though. I worry when I'm here, I'm like, when I get home, is it still going to work? Is it still, my show is still going to be available to watch? He tracks his doors? You got it for free?

No, $240. But I'm going to sell them for $300 when I start becoming a VC license. distributor in Mammoth and Ocean County. Johnny Law. Johnny Law. What's up, baby? Doing great. Doing great.

Sounds good. So Johnny, we wanted to talk to you to get a legal kind of, in a murky situation here. I have this. Not surprising. This box called the VC box. And you hook it up to your TV. And it comes with this remote control that basically, allows you to watch

TV in Russia and Israel all over the world there's nothing I can't watch and I'm like well why am I being deprived of this why do why governments want me not to be able to watch what's going on

this is already quite a This is a spin that I didn't hear before I didn't hear about Israeli television I was explaining it to me a couple minutes ago But Q is kind of harsh on my buzz

and he's not on board because he thinks it's stealing and I told him I believe this is the definition of victimless crime the VC box. Really? Do you say?

Well, I, you know, here's the thing. I think Q is probably right here. So I don't know that it's illegal for you to get access to Russian television or Israeli television. But, you know, I think I think that's probably fine as long as they're not subscription-based.

But when you're talking about a box that allows you to access subscription-based content, the box itself is legal. There's like a technical loophole there where the actual box is legal. But if you access subscription-based or unlicensed, I should say unlicensed content, then that is illegal. And what kind of, what are the ramifications if I were to be caught? This is all he cares about this. Yeah, of course. If I were to be caught with the box using it to watch something other than happy days. So, you know, potentially there's two things that can happen, right?

The first is very unlikely. The first would be criminal charges, right, since it would be contrary to federal law. So likely criminal charges would be levied against not the user, but the distributor. So as a user, it's very unlikely that you would face actual criminal charges. what's a little bit more likely would be civil penalties. And it's possible that if there was a lawsuit, you could have to pay damages, you know, based on the unlicensed access of that content. Now, I will say, there is a big exception here. And that is a huge exception.

And I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised about this one. Now, if we're talking about someone trying to access Patreon content, now, that's a required jail sentence. So, you know, anyone out there that's trying to access that, I would strongly suggest they stop. You know what? There's no way that this box has a Patreon content on it. No. No. No.

But you know what? That again, no, I haven't looked for it, though. Can't remember that they can find the Sunday Jeff show. You know what, though, Walt? The bigger problem here for the user isn't so much the legality, but a lot of these boxes have malware back doors, which means that they can gain access to your devices, your network, the computer systems that you have, and they can steal data from you.

They can redirect, you know, where your internet traffic is going, stuff like that. So it is potentially dangerous for the user. Most of his companies are Chinese. Yeah, but I had Gidim hook it up for me, so he told me he checked it out. Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that was. You didn't realize I had the Gettom seal of approval. You're good. Gettom hooked it up.

He told me that, like, I have something called the VPN. You said that was a big. Yeah, you have a virtual public network. Yeah, I have that on this box, though. Did that help? It could. Yeah, it definitely will help. But I don't know enough to say for sure.

I would, you know what, if Gettam says you're good, then go with God. That's what I think. Well, do you think Walt could also make the argument that since Giddham set it up, he should be the one to go to jail? I think that's, I think that's right on. Any username should be in Gettoms. I argue that, like, it actually hurts because for somebody to air Mary Tyler Moore, they had to pay for the license to air it.

Right. And you're circumventing that. Now, these poor people have put their faith in Mary Tyler Moore. They're like, people will watch it. She is still popular. The old gal still got it. And then by circumventing that, you're taking away the value of, you're devaluing the Mary Tyler Moore show.

How dare you do that to a billion dollar corporation? For people who believe in it and are like, we're willing to pay for it to air it on two. What if I own the box set of DVDs, though? I already bought it already. I'm just watching it a different way. That's a full defense. Okay. I actually could, I could buy that one.

I can buy that one. I can show you proof. I have the box. I believe you. I never opened it. I also know when you like. Yeah, Q's right, though. I mean, like, you know, I don't know that it's the Mary Tyler Moore generation.

That's going to be, you know, utilizing these like backdoor streaming services. But yeah, I mean, it puts a chilling effect on going out and licensing stuff probably, you know. It definitely eats into their profits. Have you watched Jokers at all on this VC? bucks. It's definitely there, I'm sure, yeah. Sure. Well, yeah, I think the channels are there.

Right. That airs normally. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of different ways to look at it, I guess. But to me, it's just like it does instantly, like if you do it and 10,000 other people do it, it does make it worth less to the people who pay for the license. So it does. But, you know, if somebody said to me, hey, I bought all the. Joker seasons that are available on DVD, but I stream it through this box.

You know, what are you doing? I kind of see that angle a little bit. So, Johnny. Do you want to buy a box? It's signed. What would you say, like, just as some legal advice, would you say, yay or nay to the prospect of me ordering 100 boxes and then trying to flip them at a profit? I would say, nay.

Nay. Yeah. All right. I would definitely say nay. But I remember like you could be the guy, man, because I remember like my mother, like she worked at Monmouth Medical Center at hospital. She knew somebody there whose son would sell cable boxes just like you had. I remember going over to his house.

It was like this little apartment and it was like a hundred bucks and he sold me a cable box that he had. He had a ton of them. Did it work? It worked perfectly. Until eventually stopped working. Until eventually stopped working, sure. Could we rent the yarn lady's old store?

Oh, yeah. I like I have a store. Prince. Flanagan's VC boxes and more. And more. We can use the sun downstairs. So now, you know, Walt, if you start selling, here's the big problem. You're going from a user to potentially a distributor.

Right. And that could carry, you know, criminal penalties. It could, but it also could carry big fat fucking wallet that even Ridge can't fucking sustain the money. That's saying a lot. That I'd be bringing in. Can't you do a bonus episode or something? But let's do the man. If you sell it for 300 bucks a pop and you sell how many of the...

What do you buy them for? 240. 240. So it's 60 bucks. So you can make six grand. Yeah, six grand. And you know, there's... Tax-free.

Yeah. That's not... Can't some of the ballot. They'll be coming in by the boatload once other word gets out that the Yarned ladies' old studio is now selling. Hot boxes. Hot boxes. I just don't think it's worth it, man.

No, all right. No. So you're saying, though, Q has put the, is guilted me into thinking I should pull the plug on my VC box? If it were me, I don't know that I think the combination of what Q said and the combination of just not being 100% sure about the security of it would make me pull the plug. Really? Yeah. Now, would you say the same for like these fire sticks that get jailbroken? So not necessarily because the boxes usually come delivered with a malware backdoor already.

It's not like it's getting infected or when you start it up. There's already an entry into that system built in. And so that's why I think there's a big difference there. But I'm not a security professional, but I would stay away. I'm looking at Walt's boxer. It looks professional as hell. They have their own website. Listen, for all we know, these are mostly all Chinese companies.

For all we know, this is the Chinese government that's, you know, behind some of these companies. Like TikTok, they're trying to steal our information. Trying to steal IP and stuff like that. So you just don't know. Trump's going to have to ban VC box. I would bet, Walt, that if you want to get in contact with customer service, it would basically be impossible. Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah.

But my God, to give it up now would be devastating. You already spent the money. You got a taste. I know, yeah, because no, it's not the money so much as that, like, the joy it brought me for these last seven days. Yeah. Where I was just like. Yeah. It was just, it was just like I would type in the most crazy old show when it would show up.

And I would be like, if you told my, my child. this in 1977 that one day I would own something that have allowed me to watch anything at any time in on any continent I would be like there that life is is so fucking well the other thing you have to add to that is and not pay for it because everybody has that it's called an apple tv you're just talking about not paying for it I did pay for it 240 bucks but I know well get him did you do a search for VC box oh my Malware? He was giving me all the horror stories, trying to harsh my buzz, just like you. Said it being supportive. I have friends and I have family members that have the fire stick one or whatever it is. And I, you know, they've offered it to me. And I have tell them I don't want it on principle, but I don't judge them for it.

I'm just like, do it. I know you. I know you will, though. Even if you're not, I'll think you want. It's a little, it's a little chink in your moral armor. That's the only thing. If it didn't have That's all you need

If it didn't have Mary Tyler Moore brings down in all me Yeah That's my wife said It's the it's the serpent On the tree limb Offering the apple

Am I going to take a bite? The apple is It's like you've been chewing For seven days Take a bite He's gone through an orchard He's got through an orchard It's have an apple pie

It's just too good to be true What's the worst that malware can do to this. You're not putting in your personal information or anything like that. It can inject software into your network and look at your network usage and packets and stuff going through your network. But how do you fight against that? You have to put it on its own network that's segregated firewalls from you.

But once that's in your network, how do you get it out? That's the tough part. Right. What's the answer? I probably just have to tear it down and reinstall everything from the... You mean the house? the computer network Yeah but he doesn't have a

new roof But his computer network is most likely Just the modem from the local Well I have a desktop And all his phones that use Wi-Fi Right that connect to Wi-Fi So if you're for example putting in

Your banking account credentials You're logging in It's possible that they could You know be monitoring your network And even be able to like Kind of monitor the keystrokes That's fucking It's scary, man.

If he's doing it from home, if he's doing it from the Wi-Fi. On his phone, on his Wi-Fi. Right. Gotcha. It's scary, but it's not as scary. He's not being able to watch Mary Tyler warming up while I want at 6 a.m. What did you say it's 6 a.m.? So the next time you ask for someone's location it to check up, if your wife just goes, why don't you watch Mary Tyler Moore?

It feels like. It just feels like I only got it. I only got to taste paradise for such a short period of time from having to you to rip it out. I was really hoping you could just tell, you know, tell me something. I could tell my wife that she could just stop, like, you know, fretting about it and just tell her it's cool and everything's going to be awesome. You can tell her that. You can tell her that.

Total life. But you just told me that, like, it can infect. If I tell, if I go home and tell her it can infect. If I use the word infect? Right. That's just, you're done. I'll never watch TV again. Oh, my God.

I really thought this was not going to go that way. Can you get a refund? No, I can't get a refund. No. It's not the initial investment that bums me out. It's the prospect of losing something that absolutely just was just an an absolute rush.

It was better than drugs. Yeah. We can debate that. What about like two, tubi? You can't just go on tube and like find shit there. This shit's commercial free, right? You're just watching episodes.

Yeah. Yeah, but that's again, like Tooby does, this is what I'm saying, like, like, Tubi is successful because it will be like, nobody's airing Mary Talimore or that elk. I'll put it on there. We'll pay for the life. We'll get it up there.

The only thing is you've got to sit through some commercials. Like, that's a fair. Yeah. That's a fair trade. But then it's also got the NFL. Tubeb don't have the NFL. Well, I hear you. I hear you.

I type in NFL all the time on Tube. There's no matches. I hear you. What you could do also is, like, I have Roku, and you can just do, there's a general search function on Roku where I can search anything. and it's probably going to be on one of the channels. And you can just do, you know, do one of those seven-day trials or whatever on any of these, like, subscription-based thing. You watch your show and then you cancel it, you know?

That sounds like a lot more work than just see a box. Maybe you just put it away for like a week and then just break in a one week a year. You don't understand Johnny Law. But I mean, this conversation. This is like with Starsky was hooked on the junk. This conversation moves then into like. How do you prevent malware from infecting your system or how do you get it off? That to me is...

They couldn't do it even without the VC box? Yeah, if you can nail this, if you can nail that, then you... I bet if you just had a completely separate network that you only used for... Yeah. We need an IT. An IT. Yeah, you need an IT answer. The curator.

The curator can help me. Curator's an IT guy. I'll give you a box curator. Three box. Please, Curate, you've got to help me. I'm like, the prospect of me not having this is a life I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live in a world where I don't have this anymore. I love this.

This is the greatest thing that I've ever come across. Yeah. I don't care what you guys say. I'm keeping it. Hey, I'm all for you. I bet you Tommy Lincoln can help. He's a computer whiz. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. I think if you can answer that question. I'm going to ask Tommy. Is anybody within a thousand miles so I could help Walt? All right. So your suggestions are don't use the word infected when I talk to my wife later. I might say I talk to a lawyer. Exactly.

You did say it's fine. We won't probably ever face any real repercussions from the law. This is something. Right. Right, John. It would be a slap on the wrist. This is like you with the. pills.

This is the exact same shit that we went through. Yeah. Well, let me. Twisted logic to just get them. Quisted logic. Go ahead. I will.

Justifying. Walt, I'll write you a letter on my letterhead that you can give to your wife telling you it's okay to use it. Awesome. That's all I need. You got to put a wax seal on it or something. It's legit. Exactly.

Yeah. Okay. You're going to bring us all down. He's going to get disbarred. We're all there. We're all going to prison. You know, my wife brought up a story. Now, I know you listened to TSD John.

Yes. Before, you know, before you came on TSD. Do you remember that you had a cable box story? You did. And it was given to you by one of your relatives. My brother-in-law. Yeah. And my wife, you know, went over the story.

And do you remember how much strife this family went? through because of your obsession with getting free cable. And I was like, There is a history there. This is something I've always chased. The cable cops, the cable cops may come again. Right.

So she told me something about that story that a new revelation that I didn't even know about. So like a little quick retell them Steve Dave's segment here. Years ago, my brother-in-law worked for a cable company and gave me a loaded. box, they called it. And it was magnificent. Didn't have it for that long. One morning I'm getting ready to go to work and I look outside and put my shoes on and two guys in suits and long trench coats. Get out of a car and I go to myself, boy, under where these guys are going. You know, and I go, they look too professional to be you down here. And then I see him start to come up my stairs and I'm like, what the fuck do these clowns want? I open a door and they say who. they're with, the cable provider they're with. And I'm like, are they trying to get me to upgrade to like HBO and Cinemax? Why are they here?

And they finally like, hey, we know you have a cheater box and we know who gave it to you and we want it. And I slammed the door on their face. I told them I didn't have that box. I ran upstairs, got that box. I did have. And put it in my bag and went to work at the stash in a panic. tried to call my wife and told her that, you know, like, you know, it's...

Put her in Mike's backpack. Strapped it to a cinder block, throw it off the bridge. She's working in school. She's in class, and I get her out of class to tell her that, like, you know, it's over, like, we're going down. And, you know, we got to make our...

We got to get tickets to Mexico immediately. And we're on the next flight. But I told her and... she kind of was like, she couldn't really talk about it. She hung up on me. I got to work and I'm in a panic. And then all of a sudden, the relative walks through with the same two guys through the stash doors and is like, he all very, he's in a state of humiliation and shock. And he's like, hey, do you have the box with you?

If you do, I need it. And the jig was up. I knew I had to give him the box. But that, the revelation that I don't think I told in your real story, maybe I did was he was set up. Get out of here. Whoa. Well, he was actually not set up. He was, he, it was, uh, somebody narmed on him.

Piece of shit. Somebody who worked in the company, narched on him. And it got the information from his ex-wife. Oh, no. She wanted to fucking make, make him feel some pain. And that's, and she went and told this guy and then he told women, man, powers that be. Yeah. Fucking wicked web.

Damn. Was there a reward, you know? so she tried to tell me that and to try to like be like you we don't need that in our life again and it's like shut up it's not going to happen again

there's no way that can happen some people some people search for this for the holy grail some people search for the sorcerer stone you just want free cable yeah that's all I wanted out of life which is funny because like you can have it

all you can do is pay like 10 bucks a month oh no it's not cable is so expensive Yeah, I know. I know it's hypocritical too because you know other people are out there right now going like, I'll go fucking steal that fucking TSD Patreon shit. I just met the add-ons for like $10 a month. You're already paying for cable.

Not anymore. I got this sucker. I canceled that. I canceled that the next day. Did you really? Yeah. Oh, my God. So Deb has to use that if she wants to want something?

You want drawing her in. Yeah. If she wants to watch something. watch something. Yeah, she's got to sit on that fucking couch, the devil couch. Yeah. The devil's couch. Here, take a bite

of this apple. It tastes good, don't it? Oh, yummy. Track your location. It's going to be in hell. This is evil. All right, do you, real quick, John, you want to play a game that we came up with called the Gidham? You and Get Em? No, Gidim, we actually came up with it.

It was his idea. Oh, yeah. Don't say that. I'm in. Get him gracious. So you guys. Yeah, I just got unlocked that. Oh, okay.

So, Brie and Q and you will write down what you think is a real conversation that Gidham had with his nurses during his hospital stay.

That's good. All right. So there's three of them that are real out of nine. So there's six that are not real and there are three that are real. You can ask, get him,

I'm just going to give you the headline of what the conversation was. You then can ask Gettom a question about that headline to see if you feel like, yeah, this is something this motherfucker would definitely say to one of his nurses.

Okay. All right. You ready, John? I'm ready. All right. I don't have a pen. I thought I gave you a pen. You gave me a pen.

Oh, here we go. All right. There we go, brother. Thank you. The gift of, Gidim's gift of gab. Number one. Did he talk to his nurses about the mystery of Gidham's physical issues being mostly prevalent in Asians and the possibility the endless hours of eating at the China buffet being a possible answer to this medical mystery? You want to ask Gettam anything about that?

So he goes. So his symptoms are mostly found in Asians. What he's dealing with is mostly found in Asian men and women. Elderly Asian men and women. And he suspects that going to the China buffet or the Chinese buffet could have possibly contributed to that. The massive ingestion of like Chinese spices and. Oh, really? I thought maybe like it was like.

MSG and shit. Yeah. Like it was like hair or saliva dropped into the buffet or something like from the heroes. Now that was what I wanted to play with me. You're telling me all the time. You're picking hair out of your teeth when you eat there. Yeah, what is it called again? It's called China Buffet?

Yeah. Because I saw something about on, on, on TV about China buffet. They had 177 violations. Holy shit. I was like, holy shit. That's that even possible. I don't know. So where was this at?

I don't know. I missed where it was. Oh, it was on TV? Yeah, it was on TV. Oh, it probably wasn't the one. Get him. Oh, no, no. Probably not the one.

Get him goes to. You understand that American Chinese food. is nothing like Chinese Chinese food. Everyone there is Chinese. No, I know, but it's American-ized Chinese food. I went to a real Chinese restaurant with Q once. It looked, it was disgusting.

The stuff that are like duck eyeballs and like all kinds of nasty shit that like you would never consider eating. Even for the V-Z box. I went to China for about a month and I got to say, you know, I was definitely not the same. I felt like I was going to catch like Chinese malware. Yes, I definitely lost weight. Yeah. Do you want to ask anything about that, John?

Yeah. So I know that I think on the last episode you had said you had caught some kind of, you had gotten something that was, you know, related to Chinese people. What was the specific issue that you thought was linked to you eating at the buffet? Well, it's the OPL, which is ossification of some ligament in my spinal column, which presses on the. spinal cord is primarily found. It's a genetic condition found primarily in Asian people, but now it's being elderly Asian people, elderly Asian men and women. Now it's been starting to be found in Caucasians. So you think that eating at the Chinese buffet may have changed your genetics? Yeah, it may have activated a dormant gene that normally isn't active. He's a mutant. He's a mutant.

He's going to Charles Xavier's school for gifted children next semester. Which is why it's being found more in Caucasian people. I have a question. When we ask him questions, he has to tell us the truth or he's trying to trick us? No, he has to tell the truth. He's telling the truth right now. So you seriously didn't know that American Chinese food, you, a genius, didn't know that American Chinese food isn't like Chinese food?

Do you say that for a joke? Well, I'm saying is that they use. That's a yes and no question. It is different, yes. You know that. Yes. Okay. Okay.

But the spices and such aren't different. Yes, of course they are. Well, you think they use a different kind of pepper? No, I think that the way that they prepare the food is different from the way they prepared food there, so they would be using different spices. Of course, pepper used the world right. You don't think Chinese peppers different from American pepper. No. So that pepper wouldn't have nothing to do with this then.

But in the combination. You're saying Chinese spices. I'm saying what Chinese spices are using? Yes, the combination of them. You think the level of pepper and salt. No, the different, like if they use star anise or they use majoram. But Americans use that. But not in the combinations that they possibly use them in the Chinese food.

But it's American Chinese, but it's American Chinese food anyway. But the prevalence. But it's American Chinese food. It's not the same type of food. Just like remember in the original Batman, it wasn't that you used a deodorant. It was that you use a deodorant in combination with mouthwash. I understand your point. But what I'm saying is they don't use those mixtures in China.

They don't. That's the whole point. I don't know. They don't serve the fucking food there. So they wouldn't use the same amount of spices because they're not serving the food. But it's the spices that they're used to. So they use. Wouldn't the fact that they're using...

How many of these are fake these stories? Six. Six are fake. Free or real. He's being too obtuse for this. What about the water, though? He doesn't want to answer the fucking question. Since it's American water, would that play a factor?

I don't know enough about Chinese water to answer that. right you go think it was like you know like but what are they important montezuma's revenge from china here are they putting spices in the water in jersey no i'm saying that's like montezuma's revenge though like you know or what's it called ospyoposis revenge that you got this this proves my point they're using american water those things are not an issue here okay all right this is yeah let's go on to number two that he created a game for a podcast hold on because the problem is it's so frustrating that I would think in a normal person

it can't be true but because it's him it fucking can be true and it sounds like you had the conversation by the way he's talking about it like no to me it sounds like he's trying to cover up and lie and not answer my question directly yeah that's why yeah

all right all right gift of gab option two that he created a game for a podcast called get him tration you can ask get him questions why he would even why would this even come up this one I believe it's true

for a second I was like yeah that show I was like, oh, wait, he's telling a nurse this. Yeah, he's bragging to his nurses about these. 100% conversation topics are, did he actually have these conversations while in the hospital? Okay, so the answer to me, to me is not the question of, the question is, do I think that get him would bring up to nurses that he created a game on a podcast? Cute nurses, cute. Right. To me, the answer is, these are 20-something-year-old.

100% yes. Hotty, I don't even need to ask him. Of course he would. I went to visit him. It looked like I was like, these are only fans, mom.

These are nurses. I don't even need to ask him how it came up because I know how it came up. He just brought up within the first five minutes I was talking about a podcast. He was talking about it. Yeah, he was talking about a podcast,

the podcast he was on. And then, oh, and sometimes I developed games for him. You get a generation. Yeah, I don't know if you're a fan of impractical jokers, but I actually know, you know, I do a podcast with them, yeah. I got four texts about it.

Don't let him chew on that, please. Don't let him show on what? A piece of the chair. Yeah. So, Teddy. Nauty talk. Got it? Yep.

Good? All right. All right. Option or get him gabbed three. Did he tell his nurses or talk about him having a black walking cane, but really wanting a green, and how he solved the problem. While he was in the hospital?

While he was in the hospital. Did you have a cane while you were in the hospital? Or did you get it after the hospital? I got it after the hospital, but while I was still in rehab. So it's not while you were in the hospital then? Well, I meant rehab. Okay. I'm just trying to find the, you know, I got it.

It was in Riverview Hospital. Okay, got you. Now, had you given your cane, the original cane, to your father already? No, not at that point. When you were in the rehab? No, not at that. that point. Well, that you've given away that you've let the cat out of the bag, Johnny.

That's how he solved this fucking snafu with this major problem. Was given the cane away? Given the black cane to his father. Is this rise to the level of a conversation to have on another human being? Seems like all this shit. Like, knowing him, yeah. Yeah, like all of it. Could be a yes.

Like, I can't believe that six of them are fake. Get them. How many, how many, how many times when you got out? of the hospital. Did you tell that story, do you think? Oh, I told it to Jeff yesterday. Did you tell someone the story before you told the nurse or was a nurse the very first? These were things I told. There was a prompt to them being told. I just didn't come out of the blue and say them. What was the prompt on this one?

The prompt on that one was they commented on the color of the cane. Which at the time was. It was green. Because I had them both at the story. the same time. Yeah. Q, the prompt was,

hello. Okay. Okay. Number four, how someone throughout his special spoon. What's the special spoon story? Okay,

tell it. I ordered a set of titanium spoons like back in like 2019. Yeah. And while I was gone, it was on the table here and it mysteriously disappeared. He was like, He wanted me to bring it to him and I couldn't find it. Yeah.

After someone recorded an episode of their Christmas special here. Chuck. Yeah. When was the last time you saw these spoons? It was before I... The day he left to go into the hospital. And you were using them constantly. They were in constant use. Yeah.

It's my... The cutlery that I use is a set of plastic. It's titanium. Where do you think it possibly could have gone? I think it went into the trash. You think I threw it away on you? Yeah, just like our missing SD card. Mm-hmm.

I think it was an accident. And, of course, I think they were cleaning up after they record it and they were like, what's this dirty spoon doing here? Right. Let's do Walt a favor and get rid of this stinky spoon and threw it out. Let's do Walter favor and get him a disservice. So the story is true. It's just a question of whether he told the nurses or not. Okay.

The story's definitely true because he brought this up. He brought this up in some text messages. So I can definitely confirm the story's true. That's why this game is hard. I'm not going to give you any easy ones. Yeah, okay. All right. I'm developing an opinion.

All right. Okay. Number five. If not for his dribbling little get him and passing gas, he might not have ever gone to the emergency room. You know what that means, right? I know. It has to be a little bit more graphic, the dribbling get him. Yeah, he piss his pants.

Well, just leaking. A little bit of leakage. This is leaking just like as you're sitting there or after going to the bath? This would be getting up and on the way to the bathroom. Standing up. Yeah. Yeah. And when you told the nurses this, was it in a medical, like you're listing your symptoms?

Or did you just? Yes. Or it's the idea that you just brought up. I thought this was small talk. Because you would have had to tell them as part of the medical issue. So we know this one's true because you would have had to tell them. Unless that's not the reason he went. The reason that he went.

went was because of the symptoms that he showed and the reason he went was because of that. Okay, so I was confused. I thought the story is. No, no. The story can be fake as well as whether he told me. I think the only thing that is fake about this is did he actually use this as a topic of conversation while the pretty nurses came in? Right.

So it's, if not for his dribbling, we, we and passing gas, he might not have ever gone to the emergency room. That's not something you want to volunteer. Gather around, cut around, ladies. Listen to this. That's the reason I went to the hospital. Number six. Asked if there are any limitations on the amount of peanut butter chicken he can consume the next time he goes to the China buffet.

Because he's not going. until he could quote unquote go ham. I guess my first question is going ham. What does that mean exactly? Like going all out. Hard as a motherfucker. I never heard that. He's a gentleman, no.

He didn't use, he used the word ham, the... To the ladies. To the ladies. Yeah. I'm sure I would be like, what does that mean? Oh, you don't know? When's the last time you did anything, Ham? That's how I went to the buffet.

I just met the cutest patient. He told me he was going to go home with one of my patients. I believe they call it the nightingale syndrome. Any questions for the man about going ham? What was your answer? Yes, I'm on no dietary restrictions. You can go ham. They didn't advise against it?

No. Really? You just get out? You want to pop a staple from fucking eating too much? Peanut butter chicken? Yeah, he's like, I've been down since I've been here. I've got to get back to the buffet. I've been encouraged to get as much protein as I can.

Peanut bar chicken is high in protein? Yeah, it's chickeny. It's high in protein. Okay. So, yeah, that's why I've been consuming this as well. The peanut butter doesn't negate the protein, just like make it like a non-like. Peanut butter's protein in it too, right? Yeah, it's a protein in it.

Yeah, it's a double dose of protein. Yeah. You should be on all peanut butter chicken diet then. I wish. And peanut butter flavored fluids, too. Oh. I mean, this is a good game. Like I'm fine peanut butter. I see him saying all of these things.

All right. Number seven, did he talk to his nurses about how hard he poned his mailbox-headed friend, Tom, for assuming he had diabetes? I think this might be a slam dunk. I agree because it puts him in a positive light. And I've also heard him refer to Tom as mailbox head for some reason. And Chuck. Where does that come from? Chuck is also a mailbox?

Yeah. And Lindsay. Why is that? Because they all thought I had diabetes. But what's a mailbox? I never heard that term. It's from a C-Lab. Oh, okay.

Yeah. I just like the term. Now, if you are in a position where you're laid up and you have six or seven young nurses, cater, not catering, but caring for you. Right. Are any of these topics, any go-toves or anything that you guys would have went with if you were... I don't bring up one of them.

Nope. Not a one of them. John, no? No. The only one so far that I could even see it possible is the cane story because at least it's relating to treatment. And not embarrassing. And what is it 20-something year old? What is it like, why are you telling me about that?

You gave your dad a cane and now you have... Or even show the mildest interest in his cane. Like, she sees canes all fucking day. Suddenly this cane stands out. ones, red ones, I don't think the color is going to be something that she's going to even notice. She's going to be looking at right. Go ahead. It's not a Corvette.

Oh, this is the Corvette of Kate. When you referred to Tom as a mailbox head, what did the nurse say? She giggled, right? I was there when you did it. She just kind of like just like. Japanese schoolgirls? No, she's just like, you know, those cute last

27-year-olds do, like, oh, she's she just kind of nod at her head. So green, you're saying. T-he-he. a fanning her face. Isn't it about time for you to go ham?

She'll lay down in the bed next to him. She was so overtaking. This is no pussy dead end. You had me at going ham. You didn't have to explain what a mailbox what head was to the nurses. No. She didn't ask you.

Not as interested as I was. Any questions about mailbox heads? Okay. Number eight, only eight and nine left. With the yarn lady having moved out of airport plaza, the thermostat is no longer controlled by a hamster any longer. A hamster? Scooter. A scooter.

Yeah, the guinea pig scooter. That's why the temperature was so hot in here because her hamster needed. Oh, right, right, right, right. He would die if it wasn't at 90. Right. And ours was at like a, you know, a bomby 110, I think, at times. When would you have told them this story? When I had found out like I was getting updates and I was checking Facebook.

Did she announced the, because Walt told me about the closing sale that she was having out in the hallway here. And then I went and checked Facebook. And she announced that, that was going to be the end of the more yarn. And had that come up with the nurses. Just in conversation. Because like, they would come in.

They're like, oh, it's really chilly in here. Yeah. Because the first thing I did when I got in there is had the thermostat turned down to cold. Yeah. And I had made sure I was by the window there because it was, I kept me cool. I don't like. So they were like, it's chilly in here. And you're like, yeah, that's because I'm not a guinea pig.

Yeah. I told them that. I told them that I liked a cold. And like I said, we have this problem at the office because we have a person in the office on a space next door to us who has a guinea pig. And because of that, we have to keep the temperature really high. And because she keeps her door open, I can't sneak over there and turn the thermostat down. I have to wait until she walks by and goes to the bathroom.

I see it. I see it. Which one don't you see at least? Every single one of them could be real. Honestly, just the first one. What was the first one again? With the Chinese spices. I hope he's not that dumb.

All right. And the final gift of gab, get him Steve Dave's, get him Steve Dave's gift of gab is how he plans on turning his rays of his neck into his next year's Christmas card. He do know. He loves to create his own Christmas card.

Oh, no. It was Christmas while he was in there, getting close to the season. Yeah. You didn't make a card this year, did you? Nurse, nurse, can I get your address? Next year, I want to send you a Christmas card of my spinal cord. Yeah. Give me your phone number two, just in case it, you know.

Fuck. How did she react? Just not With TEE. It's going around the hot. So if you just say TEE, walk out, he'll be fine. RSV, the flu, the T's. This story aside, do you think you'll do that?

That's actually a pretty fun idea. Yeah, yeah. Any questions, John? What prompted you to talk about the Christmas card? Because I was finding out how I could get more high res versions of the scans because the my chart app gives you like a basic like a very low resolution when I tried to print him and like it gave me the warning that it was low resolution.

So I was trying to get an imaging copy. There seems like the person to ask for that. Well, I was finding out who do I reach out to? Oh, got you. Who do I email to do this? Yeah. Still. Like, I don't know what I know.

Well, they can ask. And they did. They did. And you're like, well, I'm going to make a Christmas card. And she was like, oh, T. You're so clever. Get a fucking highly trained medical professionals. You're so quirky.

What is your motivation, for example? Is your motivation literally I just want high-res pictures? Or are you trying to show them that you're like creative and funny? I just wanted high-res. I wanted high-res versions of the scans. Okay. That I believe. That you're not, that aren't a very practical.

He's not a very practical. roundabout guy. He's just like, yeah, it's very straightforward. I'm not sure if you remember the pictures in the group chat of me getting my imaging CD. I do. Yeah, I do. Yeah. All right. Johnny, how do you feel you've been invited to a very exclusive club with that group chat between Chuck, Tom, Brad, Rupp, Jimmy? It's Jimmy. It's constant entertainment. I hear there's, I hear there's days go on end. You don't even answer any of the text, though. That's true. That is true.

You got to stop doing that because you might get kicked out. I might get bumped. Yeah, it might get bumped. Just because he has a baby. Brian, any questions before you weigh in and what you think the three real conversations were? I don't think so. I think I got it down. I mean, if I get any of them right, it's 100% luck.

Because these could all be. Aside from, like you said, the number one Chinese spice one, which I expect you would know. I would not be surprised at any of these if you brought them up. No, Q, any last? No, I have locked in. Honestly, all my focus is still on the first one, the Chinese food. Because it was, I was so frustrated in a way that he can only get due to me. So it might be true.

Right. Can I pull the curtain back and be real for a second? Please. I would never assume that Chinese food created in America is not the same food. be eating in China. Yeah, but you're not a genius. True, but I would think that's not legal then to call it Chinese food if it's not Chinese food then.

Like that's false advertising then, right? Well, yeah, maybe. So what makes it American food because it's prepared on American soil? No, no, it's just the actual dishes are like... The ingredients are different. I think they're like almost watered down for American palettes, right? Yeah, it's like a totally different ballgame. Like Italians, they're like, look, here's a sauce, eat it.

Chinese are like, you're not going to eat it, you'll fucking intestine. So we got to make noodles. Right, but if you want peanut butter. Something like that. But if you want peanut butter chicken in China, doesn't it taste exactly the same as peanut butter chicken in America? I don't even,

my theory is they don't even have peanut butter chicken in China. I didn't see it. Do you subscribe to that, get them? They don't offer peanut butter chicken in China? No, because I think peanut butter sauce is common in Thailand and places like that. So not China. It spells over, though. It dribbles over.

Much like your little get-em. Much like Mexican's known for its tacos and we eat them in America. I could be completely wrong. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I would have never have assumed that what I was eating. Like, so the pizza that I have doesn't taste like pizza in Italy. You know what I have in America? No.

I think the water's different with the crust and everything. Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. You learn something new. Yeah. All right. Or Reddit will be like, kill your fucking moron. I'll never know.

Peanut butter chickens the national dish, you idiot. Scream into the void, people. Scream into the void. Johnny, any last questions about any of the nine stories? No, I think I'm locked in. I think I've got what I. Okay. So I'm going to go with Bri first.

Okay. I'm going to go, I need your pen though, Bri. You're a key's pen if you guys are done. All right. So, Bri, which numbers, which stories do you think are true? The stories I had for true were three, five, and seven. Three, five, and seven. Three being having the black cane, wanting a green cane, the high-stress dilemma that came with that and how he eventually came upon a solution by giving the black cane to his father.

Yeah. I think that's something that's easy to talk about. Maybe she showed some interest in the cane. I tell you. That's an unusually colored cane. Out of all the stories that we talked about for this segment, easily, I have. I have heard the Kane story told and recounted at least ten times. Ten times, at a minimum. I remember that.

And the other one you said was five. Five was the dribbling and the farting. He might not have never gone in emergency room if not for those two. So we'll say farts and dribbles. And seven, how hard he poned his mailbox-headed friend. mailbox R IQ Okay

I have the real stories that I have Yes I have two The podcast game I believe he would have He'd be proud of that And want to present himself In a positive light

Would he mention how it went over Like an absolute lead balloon No but that wasn't part of the story That I was given Like if he said it like it went Like he killed at a podcast game That would be a lie Well he might tell that anyway

But if he's talking about me, which we know he did, his connection to me, besides now we're friends, but like, was the podcast. And that's the end to that. Now, not only am I on a podcast, but also I'm a creator on the podcast. I'm creating content for this clown on TV. This is like, this guy needs me.

Might as well put my hand up his ass because he's my puppet. Yes. Yes. That I believe is very, very. I had to say that three, the cane story was true because I heard it twice. Lucky you. You want to hear an eight more? Yeah.

And then I went with six. I believe the peanut chicken, I believe that would be on the top of his mind. When can I go ham on peanut chicken? Six ham. Yeah. Okay. Johnny. You ever heard that?

Hard as mother. I love it. I use it. So I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm thinking that the cane story might be a red herring here since we've heard so much about this cane situation. Clever move. I think it might be one. Chinese food, Chinese problems.

That's the episode title. Yeah, definitely. And I think Q is dead on with the second one. you know, really this is, how could I tell you that I know Q? So I think number two, the podcast game. And then I think the last one's a slam dunk. I think no diabetes mailbox head, number seven. Wow.

Number seven. Now, Johnny Law does have a leg over us that he's in that group, Brian. I can tell you, Q, almost every single one of these has been brought up within that group chat. So I am out of the same disadvantage. We never got to the bottom of the titanium fork. We still don't know where it is. It's gone.

It's gone. It's gone as far as me now. Rupp replaced it, though. You should get copper silverware, isn't that the shit that kills germs and stuff? Isn't copper like antiseptic? Yeah, but I have a thing for titanium. I see. So, yeah. Titanium rain.

I just figured if you're just going to eat on it, then leave it on our table for a week. You might want the thing that kills germs. But no, that's titanium. My vertebrae is titanium. Of course. All right. So the refresh, Brie says canes.

He says, um, the, the farting and dribbling and mailbox. Q has the podcast, the canes and ham. Johnny,

number one, Chinese food, Chinese problems, the podcast and mailbox head. Correct? Yeah. Lock it in. Whoever gets the most,

we'll get to hear. It gets a hot box. It's the VC box. No, I thought whoever, well, I mean, I don't know, Johnny's already, but I thought you could get an invite

to the, to the text chat, the group, the Jenta group. I don't think they want us in there. They want to be able to talk bad about me. That's what they want to do.

The fucking walkman, sleeve driving motherfucker. Not to Jimmy about Chuck. All right, reveal the first story that was true, get him. Okay,

it was Get em tracian The game The game Yes Did you go? Okay, I got that one Yes

But what actually happened was I had shown them a video of game night To show how I was in June Being able to dance around and everything And the nurse was like Oh wow I really love old classic 70s Game shows

Like classic concentration Tee-he And I was like Well I actually created a game for a... Wait, what were you wearing in that when you were dancing around? The brown suit.

Okay, not the green street. No, it got out. And I said, I created a game called Get Em Tration, which was just like with the, you know, revealing the pieces and solving the puzzle. I said, but it did not go over as well as... So he did.

He did cop to the fact that it didn't go over a while. And then I brought up Alex Trebek's subtle racism in, uh, because whenever he would say Suzuki's sidekick, he put on like a Japanese accent. And the nurse said that next time she watched, she would pay attention for that. Okay. Now, this was one of the young hotties cares about concentration?

She said she likes, yeah, classic 70 shows. Wow. That's unusual. Some bedside manner. Yeah, I would not think that. So who got a point for that? BQ gets a point. I'm the only one.

No, and Johnny Law also gets a point. Brian. No points. No points yet. So the Chinese food one was. fake? We don't know yet. The first one.

Well, he skipped it. He went to two. He said the first real one is... Yeah, it was fake. Okay. Yeah. I did speculate that it was the buffet as well as knowing me. Okay.

Unless you slept with him. Yeah, really. I don't know how you could have thought that it would change your DNA. Did you fuck me until a hospital over Christmas? Both you guys are going ham on each other. The world up in a hospital. So either I got it from Ming or all at the buffet. I want to give a shout out to Tom.

Since I'm not privy to all these insights, since I'm not involved in the group chat, I was like, hey, Tom, I'm coming up with this game. I said, give me some of the inane things that Gidem has spoken about in the last couple weeks that I could use for this game. And he just went off his text list. and they just rattled them off. That's why it was so hard to decipher this.

Gotcha. Got you. All right. Great. All right. Get him. Reveal the real conversation starter. The second one.

About how I accidentally ordered a black cane, but I never wanted the great cane. The classic cane story. He's going to let that go to waste. He's trying to fuck a nurse here. I can't help but notice your cane, old man. But again, this was prompted by bringing up how interesting, how interesting the color was. Yes, yes, and yes, and how unusual it was. It's very interesting green.

Yes. Yeah, it's green. She must get wet over Kermit. Unfortunately, I'm two for two. I'm starting to worry about myself. Dude. Bekew, you got another one. I spent too much time thinking about get them.

Bryce got ones. I'm on the board. Johnny Law, no points in round two. Oh, it's rough. How come you didn't think the cane story, John? I just thought it was told too many times. That's why you're not really that good. Can never be told that many times.

That's not too many. That's supposed to be a fucking lawyer, Johnny. I would stay so far away from that talking to a cute nurse. You know what I mean? That's why you have a wife and a child. But it shows how compassion I am, giving a cane to my father. that I was just going to illegally return to Amazon. Oh, boy.

All right. If I go three for three, I'm killing myself. I'm going to tell you right now. It would be astounding. I'm just going to hang myself. That'd be amazing. Please don't be the peanut chicken hand. And the last one was, how hard I poned mailbox head time.

All right. What number was that? That was number seven. And that means it is an absolute. Dead tie. Wow. All right. Everybody has two points.

A triple dead heat. Wow. Is there a story, something they can guess to try to break the tie? A little tie breaker here? You could come up with on the fly? No. No? Can I tell the cane story again?

All right. So this came up and, like, you know, they asked me, like, what did people speculate it was? and so I said someone speculated that it was diabetes and that it was neuropathy. And you used the word mailbox head. Mailbox said, yes. And then I also managed to disparage Tom's MRI place as well. Wow. Tom's your friend.

Yeah. Let's talk about mailbox. Well, you've compone somebody, friend or foe? Oh, I'm with you. You got a pawn. And hey, I believe mailbox head is, look, like how he said, phone face, like anything could be an insult. Yeah. Mailbox head works for me.

I get it. I get it. All right. Guys, I'm proud of us. You guys know your friend, man. You guys know them better than you think you did. Yeah. So all of us are in on the group chat now.

I'll pass. I'll pass on that. Johnny, thank you for spending some time with us and answering those legal questions, those pesky legal questions. Anytime you get something good, the law always wants to stick their fucking nose in it. That's right. I'm trying to take it away. You got it. Happy to be here.

Is this a bill of the hour? Yeah. Yeah. And I'll see you guys at Q West. I'm looking forward to it. All right, buddy. We're going to have a fucking blast, pal. See you soon, bud.

Bye, John. Bye now. Bye. All right. Nice. Wow. Always good. Yeah, it's nice to hear from John.

Yeah. All right. Well, that's it. What an episode. Yes. Pack to the gills. Starting off 2026 strong. Here we go.

TSD is back. No, I don't think that means that we're not coming out strong. I'd rather come out with two strong episodes than come out with like, you know, just to shit one out just for shit for shit's sake. You know? Yeah, I agree. Quality over quantity. It means in the Q. West, I agree.

Tell them, Steve, Dave.
