I can't say that my stream is the strongest if people really want to know.
Oh, well, I don't think people do.
Oh, shit, man.
I'm glad I did see that.
I'm glad I don't wear jeans.
Uh, no.
G.
N-E-N-E-N-E.
Tell them, Steve, Dave.
Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them, Steve, Dave.
I'm here with Walt.
Here.
Walt is here.
I'm not here with Q, though.
Q is far away.
A land called Staten Island.
Yes, yes.
The magic of Zoom bringing us together this week.
Yep.
It works.
It works.
There works.
Better than nothing.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I'm a little stuff.
I have allergies today.
So if I sound a little stuffed up.
Oh, yeah?
That's why.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sneezing all day.
What are you allergic to?
It's just like springtime every year I get like for like a week.
I get real sneezy.
I don't know what, what pollen it is, but it's some sort of pollen.
your body will soon change and you won't be allergic to it anymore.
At some point, I don't know how long.
Usually every seven years your body changes.
You go through some changes and you are no longer allergic to what you once were allergic to.
It happened to me.
I used to be all weepy-eyed and swollen and scratchy throat.
Looking like you.
I don't like the way he said weepy-eyed.
No longer, though.
doesn't affect me now. Okay. So around the time I'm 57, I should be just fine.
Well, for me, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm going through, yeah, like nothing is affecting me now, so I feel good.
Like, no allergies. And you're still drinking a lot of water, right?
Well, look at this, son. Not much of that water, but I need to, I need to figure out how, like, you can put it away, right?
Maybe not water, but when you drink, you could put it away, right?
You have no problem like down in liquid, right?
Yeah, I don't know what it is about me.
I don't know, like, if I got a small, like, spot in my stomach where the liquid goes.
But, yeah, I don't see.
I don't have that hollow leg.
You don't, do you break the seal?
Do you start peeing or you hold it all in, like a camel?
I've never heard that phrase before, break the seal.
I pee
You never heard that?
No.
Well, what's a normal urination for a guy in our, well, since we're all in our 50s, now you've joined the club.
Yeah.
How many times you pee a day?
I don't know.
It doesn't seem excessive to me yet.
I don't think it's remarkable, so I don't really know.
How many would you guess if you had to take a guess, like the gun to your head.
Some psychopath wants to know immediately how much you, how many times you pee a day.
According to Gidim's computer here, a healthy adult, or for most adults, urinating six to seven times in a 24-hour period is considered normal.
That's interesting.
I was going to say five or six.
Four to ten times can be healthy.
I do four.
You're four?
Four.
You scheduled?
Quarterly.
Well, you know what, though?
But Teddy doesn't let me out of his sight, so sometimes I'll hold it because he gets so nervous when I go when I leave the room.
So sometimes I'm like, I'll just wait until I get home and he's with my wife.
This way it has to be.
I've taken to wearing adult diapers because Teddy gets too nervous when I leave his side.
To go to the dog.
I think he's gone or he froze.
No, I still have your audio.
I don't know.
Yeah, your camera's freezing for some reason.
There you go.
You're back now.
So four to five times.
How about you?
I would say more than that for me.
If I drink like all the water I'm supposed to drink, I would say probably six to eight times.
I do not have the healthy prostate that you have.
I really have to go to the bathroom.
How is mine healthy?
When I got to go?
Because didn't you say you got cinched up?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, yeah, but yeah, mine was medically repaired.
Right.
But, yeah, certainly needed, wasn't healthy on its own.
I can't say that my stream is the strongest if people really want to know.
Oh, well, I don't think people do, but I'm interested, though.
How would you say?
Is it like droop along when he shot the bullet out of the fucking gun?
The whole barrel just goes limpish.
Hey, Mr. Rickish.
Is this normal?
I don't know, Sunday, Jeff.
That's a good droopalong for anybody who knows who droopalong is.
I would say probably like, I'm probably, it doesn't just dribble, but it is not like, it's not a strong street.
I have to show Dr. D.C., what she says.
Watch this, Dr. D.
What do you think of this street?
How long would it take you to write your name in the snow, like a couple days?
Could be, depending on how snow is icy or not, you know.
What's that, Brian?
Oh, that's my name.
Well, it just looks like a line.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to get to it.
That's the line and B.
Here's the question.
Am I letting it dribble down my leg and then writing it with my leg?
It's that bad, huh?
Yeah, I would say it's like it's a noticeable change.
Now, why don't you do those, I see a million commercials, those infomercials about, you know, fix the stream.
Really?
Yeah.
I've never seen these commercials.
Well, you're not watching a lot of.
I don't watch TV.
Me TV.
Yeah, anything I watch has no commercials in it.
Yeah, so they catered us guys in their 50s.
Yeah.
I wonder if it works.
I don't know.
There's a lot of drugs on the market now that are reportedly for stronger streams.
There was an episode of Kirby enthusiasm where he was having a problem.
Larry Dave was having a problem.
And he was taking some sort of medicine that was making him piss like a resource.
Like it was like a plot point in the show.
So I wonder what it was.
I should go back and try to.
figured out.
Oh, okay.
So I cannot.
I mean, it doesn't really matter that much.
It's not like I'm like trying to impress people like when I'm going to the bathroom or
whatever.
There's nobody out there except for me.
I'm the only one who knows my secret shame.
And everybody listening right now.
Yeah.
So Q, are you all ready for Q West?
I can't wait, man.
We've been working on it all day.
The final touches and stuff like that.
It's going to be great, man.
I can't wait.
I'm so excited about the beer pong with DeRosa.
I could tell you saw that belt you had made.
Oh, dude, I can't wait.
We're making banners.
I just chose my entrance song today.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited.
Yeah, it's going to be good, man.
I'm like nothing but can't wait to get down there and do this.
I didn't know there was going to be beer pong.
Man, if you had told me, I might have been a little bit more interested.
I would put both you guys in a fucking beer coma with my beer pong.
I mean, it's not that late.
I'll get you down there.
I can't, not this week, and baby Oliver's coming down.
I'm going to play some beer pong with him.
He's terrible.
I won the belt, Oliver.
What do you think about that?
Did you see the belt, Walt?
No, it's a new belt.
Do you have it on Instagram?
I get him?
It's not in your office here.
Oh, do you?
No, hold on.
It's right here.
Hold on.
If you want to see, you can go to Q's Instagram.
Yeah, so the story behind it is...
Oh.
It's like real deal, you know?
That's real deal.
And it says beer pong champion, universal, undisputed Q.S.
Yes.
Who's in a tourney?
Is Brian Johnson in a tourney?
No, it's...
So the story behind is...
No, he'd be peeing too much.
Joe DeRosa and I have played beer pong.
He's vicious when you play beer pong with him.
He's just...
He's a vicious, mean, cruel, condescending, arrogant winner when it comes to it.
So I've been trapped in this cycle with him where, like, I'll win every once in a while, but he'll mostly kick my ass.
And then in the last Joker's crews, I beat him rather publicly in a very fun way.
And then he beat me a Q. West last year.
So we're doing the tiebreaker this year.
Oh, okay.
So it's just you versus him.
Yeah, the championship belt.
That's right.
You should pay-per-view this, man.
I would watch this.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I would like, you know, on my VC, Bob, I wouldn't pay for it, but I go on my VC box.
I tune in.
See the highlights.
It was great.
Like, we played at Poolside at one of the bars last year, meet me and DeRosa, and it was like, it was like people were going nuts.
It was so much fun.
And I was losing so badly, and DeRosa was just humiliating me.
So this year we moved it to the stage.
We have a overhead camera looking down on it so you can see all the action.
And we're doing entrance like boxers coming in.
We're playing music, getting in there.
So we're going to make it a big deal, you know.
It's cool.
Have some fun.
It sounds like it would be fun.
Feel bad for the loser, though, like with all that pomp and circumstance and shit.
Well, they'll be so drunk, right?
That they won't even.
They won't even care.
They'll be blind drunk, I imagine, from the loser, right?
Um, well, you know, beer pot's not that much beer.
I'd be all right.
It seems like it's a lot of beer to me.
Well, they're only quarter cups.
They're only like half cups.
Oh, they don't fill the cups.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
There's those red solo cups.
You're definitely buzzed by the end of it.
It's great because that's the start of the night and I have three more shows to go that night.
So it's going to be like a cruise where I'm on space monkeys and just don't show up.
No, I think like after the beer pong, I don't leave the stage until like the show's over.
Oh, really?
Yeah, something like that.
It'll be fun.
People would be sick of me, but that's all right.
But it's going to be great.
Weather's great.
The stern pinball guys have hooked us up.
It's going to be so much fun.
I'm giving away.
I'm building a Delorean, a Back-to-the-Future Lego Delorean.
Well, I'm going to sign it.
And whoever gets the highest score on the pinballed machine down there is going to get to have that.
So we're doing fun shit like that.
And we're putting Jimmy the hair guy and probably get them in there to hold down the pinball
arcade for certain times.
What does that entail hold it down?
What does that mean?
It's just being a gracious host, you know, maybe telling them a little bit about the machines,
you know, coaching them a little bit.
Oh, God was going to love that.
Yeah.
Now, did you send him any information about the machine so he can bone up on the, like
the machine when it was built, to what it was inspired by, who's the artwork by, anything?
Or is he just going to have to wing it and be his like?
like just make up totally like a ball bullshit and be like,
the artist is.
No.
I look,
knowing Jim when he gets there and he sees what machines he's working with,
he'll have the full download on him.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm just trusting that he'll,
he'll do the right thing.
Q,
when you play pinball,
do you try to like,
whenever I play pinball as a young guy that was always like the instructions on the,
like the left hand corner and under the glass.
Yeah.
And I was like, this seems too much to remember.
So I was just like, me hit flipper.
And that was like pretty much it.
Like I didn't play for the sake of playing.
I just played for like, you know.
Yeah, once you start following like the storyline and the rules, like it's actually like a more engaging game.
Yeah.
Because like you're progressing through a storyline or where the modes get harder as you go or where they do some, you unlock certain modes like that you can only do if you're,
been playing for like, you know, a fucking while.
I don't know. It's fun. I like it.
I'm a shitty pinball
player. For a guy that owns as many
pinball machines as I have, man, I got
a fucking, I am no good at the game.
But I do love doing it. Do you have any flare?
Like, I remember, like,
guys when we were growing up in the 70s, they would
flip, they would smack.
They'd smack the pinball machine the buttons like they're
slapping a girl's ass.
They'd keep that fucking ball up.
But I'd be like, man, I want to be like, that fucking dude
one day. They had,
No.
They had fucking Grateful Dead patches on their back, and they were slapping that pinball machine around like it was a fucking hussy.
I remember I'd rather be the guy that slapped the girl's ass as opposed to the pinball machine.
They weren't slapping any asses either.
Don't get that out of fool you.
We're just sitting there going, wish we could play one.
Who do I put my quarter up?
Get the fuck out of here.
Okay.
Okay.
All right, all right.
We'll play another time.
You guys weren't done?
But you got no fucking flare in those wrists?
No, not really.
I should work on development.
I'm telling you, like, I'm not, I've developed no skills.
I just sit there like a zombie and like, like, take shitty shots.
But you're not just smack in the pit, like the flippers like a like, no, like both at the same time like a child.
You're just smacking them and just constantly, even if the ball's way up at the top.
It's the rack of the glass
popping up and shit.
Like a seal clapping.
Yeah.
You're not that bad, are you?
No, no.
At least I know how to control shots somewhat.
But not well.
Because, I mean, you know, being the darling of millions and, you know, holding QS,
I can't imagine like if, like, you know, being everybody coming down there and then
all of a sudden it'd be like, you know, seeing you on a pinball machine,
it would change everybody's fucking whole dynamic of you as like this cool fucking TV star
if you went out there and fucking went.
It'd be hard to shake that.
Yeah, that image.
They'd poke it out of his side of his mouth.
Drul coming down.
Drew's dripping on the pinball machine.
That's him.
That's him.
He looks so much different on TV.
He doesn't make those noises.
Hey, Walt, do you think we get you to FaceTime in if we can work it out on our end?
Sure.
I don't know how FaceTime works.
If you tell me how I do it, I would do it.
Can I do it on my iPad?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's how you would do it.
Yeah, sure.
All right.
We'll see if we can figure it out on our own.
Yeah, I'm always around.
I'm not doing any time of the night, too.
If you guys go into the wee hours of the morning, feel free to, feel free to reach out.
You guys going to be having so much fun, though.
There's not a chance on a planet.
Like, if you guys are going to go to the FaceTime me, you know, things are in trouble.
We got things are going south.
We got, we got more flagging everybody.
Christ, cross your fingers.
We hope we got Walt Flanagan.
Did you work out this tech queue?
He just declined a call.
Okay.
Oh, shit him.
Come on out.
How old was Pimaw machines doing?
We got 45 minutes left.
We should congratulate you, Walt.
I saw online that in practical Jokers is the number one original cable TV series right now.
Is it really?
Original, yep.
Look at that.
That's something else, huh?
That is worthy of much congratulations.
I saw a picture of the three guys, all big smiles and shit.
We're number one.
We're happy.
Better than you.
That's what it said on the bottom.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's funny how, like, yeah, that's true.
But it doesn't feel any different.
I don't, what's a hero?
What's a hero anyway?
You know?
What's a hero anyway?
Nah, it doesn't really change much of anything.
but it's cool.
I have some advice for you, Q.
Ooh.
Masturbate frequently.
Okay.
What do they consider frequently?
Or come quick.
Or come frequently.
You know, you don't have to masturbate.
They're saying, this is not going to be any problem for a Walt Flanagan type.
At least 21 times a month.
21.
Okay.
So not quite once a day, but pretty close.
Or what?
Pretty close to it.
What happens if you don't?
Well, if you don't, you could be at a higher risk for prostate cancer than those who come more.
Come less, yeah.
If you ejaculate 21 or more times per month, you have a 19 to 22% lower risk of prostate cancer than those who came less.
19, like almost 20%, yeah, 19 to 22%.
Do they know why?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Because you're using it for what it's intended, I guess, right?
Right? Like it's keeping it working.
Well, here you go, Walt.
It says, prevailing theory suggests that frequent ejaculation may help flush out potential carcinogens, reduce inflammation within the prostate or even influence gene expression in the normal prostate tissue.
Oh, shit, man.
I'm glad I, I, see that?
I'm glad I don't wear jeans.
No, G-E-N-E-S.
I thought you know.
Your jeans are too tight.
I thought it was like squeezing your nuts too hard.
Turn my back on dungarees years ago.
Wow.
Okay.
So I guess what?
So could you do three times in one day and that counts in the right way?
I guess so.
It says it's focused on ejaculation frequency regardless of the specific activity that leads to it.
This could encourage more and earlier prostate cancer screening, putting patients in a better position to advocate for their health.
Could you just do it like all in one day though and then like...
21 times in one day?
Yeah, just get up around.
Basically once an hour.
Yeah, I mean, if you were a younger guy, maybe, or get them who claims you can bounce back within 20 minutes.
Yeah, right.
What does hour six look like?
Oh, you're all wrong.
Oh, I've had...
Why?
Why don't have to be raw?
Oh, there you go.
15 more to go.
It has a huge bottle of a gold bond healing lotion.
Well, I just, I mean, I guess it doesn't have to be, but like after a little while.
Draw yourself a bath, maybe an hour six.
Light some candles.
Light some candles.
Any reason?
Read something erotic.
Maybe something with, what's that dude with who, the long, Fabio?
Oh, Fabio.
Maybe some Fabio fan fiction.
Fabio's still the lady killer that he used to be?
Is she still on the covers of novels and shit?
He's probably...
Probably.
They probably don't show current Fabio, but they probably use Fabio.
Current Fabio probably looks a bit different than the Fabio we remember.
Much like everybody else.
Here's the Fabio that we recall from back in the day.
Yeah, that was a good-looking man.
That was the Fabio who got his nose broken by that bird on the roller coaster.
Oh, yeah, that sucked.
Oh, he's 67 now.
I bet you he's still doing it.
You think so?
Still modeling?
Yeah, I bet he is.
Let's see, Fabio now.
He doesn't really look.
Alexa came on for no reason.
I mean, if this is him now, he doesn't look that bad.
He's fucking Fabio, man.
Yeah.
For almost 70 years old.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Yeah, but he looks like
looks like he's lost some of his teeth, though.
It does.
His mouth does look pursed.
He always had that.
It has his hair looking.
That's the big question.
He still got all of it.
He still got it.
Yeah.
Nice.
Good man.
Probably when all the money went towards, though.
Oh, you think so?
Like all his riches went to keeping his hair?
I would think so.
He seeded his hair.
Yeah, and there's no pictures of him bald.
There's just pictures of him looking a little bit older.
looking ripped
nice
that must be such an easy gig
though like we're just going to put you
on the cover of romance novels
so just like pose like this
we'll take a picture
and then we'll paint it
that's it
and now you're Fabio
now you're Fabio
is he married I guess
or was he
if you're Fabio
can you get married
or you're like I can't
I can't do that
at the height of Fabio's
popularity
with women
yeah
how many
American women
rubbed one out
to him a day.
Save their self from cancer.
Like,
like if I told you,
if I had the number,
like,
what number would
stun you?
Like a hundred?
What years?
What year?
Probably the 90s,
I think he was at his height.
Okay.
No internet too.
So the ladies.
That's what I was about to say.
The ladies can't run to the internet.
So,
so like how many times was the Vapio,
the guy that they
I bet you a lot
fantasized too
and pleasureed themselves too
I mean those books are big fucking business
man people like them I bet you a lot
how many
like as the numbers as the years
you know
as we get into the 2020s
what's that number fall to
a day
if you think there's anybody
who's not fighting prostate cancer
I'll tell you that much
yeah
there's a lot of fun
Holy shit.
A lot of Fabio's like in the world?
Yeah.
Like named Fabio?
A lot of guys named Fabio.
It's Italian name, right?
A lot of Italian, famous Italian guys.
Let's see if he's married.
Doesn't look like it.
6 feet three inches tall.
You owe it to yourself in the world to be single if you have Fabio.
This is what Fabio says.
I'd be the biggest hypocrite if I ever said I worked really hard for my career because it was given to me on a silver platter.
I can't take any credit.
My major focus was sports and going to the gym.
What a life.
What a great life.
Yeah, that's not bad.
Yeah, but you can't have an extra piece of cake.
You can't, like, you can't, like, oh, I'm feeling hungry.
I'm going to run over to McDonald's.
You got to have a fucking.
Got to have a celery stalk, something like that.
Yeah, that's...
Dip celery and fucking mayonnaise and pretend you like it.
Yeah.
But think of all the benefits, though.
What do they dip celery in?
I don't know.
It's like a white.
It's like a white cream.
Oh, ranch, ranch.
That's it.
Yeah.
Smells like that.
Yeah, but think of the benefits of being fobbyo, though.
Like, it might outweigh a cheeseburger.
Yeah, you're right.
You know.
But boy, the discipline.
So this is the, it was actually a goose that hit him, Hugh.
Oh, shit, a goose.
A goose.
And it was especially humiliating, I guess, during a promotional event.
Fabio was seated in the front row for the inaugural ride of Apollo's chariot,
roller coaster at Bush Gardens, Williamsburg.
He was accompanied by more than 30 women dressed as Greek goddesses.
Once the ride had accelerated to 73 miles an hour,
Fabio claims a flock of hundreds of geese flew by one of the geese was sucked into the ride.
The goose died and if Fabio disembarked from the ride with blood on his face.
The only video that exists from the...
That's a sentence?
The only video that exists was filmed from the ride entrance.
Okay. There was an on-ride camera, but Fabio claims the camera was never found.
So we're never going to see it.
We have like, we have the still photo, but.
Does it make the news today?
Or are people like, who?
No, I think it makes the news.
Yeah.
Depends who the celebrity is.
I mean, Fabio.
If it's Fabio.
Oh, it's Fabio today.
Another goose hits him.
Yeah, I think, I think lightning striking twice.
I do think that gets picked up.
No, no, no, no.
No, the first goose never happened.
The first goose never happened.
Okay, he's in his 70s.
It might not.
It might not get picked up.
I don't know.
There's so many, like, there's so many meaningless stories in the news.
Like that, like, to be like, hey, one time, you know, hunk Fabio got hit in the face with a goose today.
People would be like, oh, I got to fucking check this out and see.
I remember Fabio.
Let me see what happened.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, maybe right.
Yeah.
In 2015, he says he goes to the gym for an hour of aerobics and weight training at least four times a week.
He also jogs, hikes, takes part in boto, cross and doro.
He's known for his strict diet.
He abstains from smoking and avoids consuming alcohol, caffeine, soy, cheese most of the time, salt, sweets, and recreational drugs.
Wow.
And reduces exposure to the sun.
He stated that a person should treat their body like a Lamborghini.
Yeah, well, we weren't all giving the keys to a Lamborghini.
That's the thing Fabio doesn't get, right?
Yeah.
Like, I don't care how much I was in the gym.
I'm not going to look like Fabio.
My hair's never going to look like Fabio's.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I don't give a fuck about being the best-looking Honda on the road.
You know what I mean?
It's fine like it is.
You know, you know what?
Let me knock this ad out.
And then I got a complaint.
This is for, oh, come on.
Why is this not working?
Hold on.
everybody. Just wait while I find this fucking ad. That's what you want to do, right?
You got this, buddy. Okay, I got it. I got it. Q. I'm going to talk about how annoying it is
that all my devices have different charging cords, the phone, the headphones, the watch, the Kindle,
all different. It should be illegal. How is it? We have AI robots, but you still have to
travel with five cores all tangled up. Those days are over thanks to Ridge. Just like Ridge
revolutionized the wallet. Ridge has now changed the game for Port.
portable charging.
Ridge's 5-1 travel power bank has built-in cables and let you charge all your devices at the same time with just one power bank and no extra cables.
I got one.
I got one.
I got one.
You got one?
I got one.
Bring it with me everywhere I go.
Bringing it with me to QS so I can charge up when I'm on the go.
Yeah, man.
I don't want to see you looking all fucking low energy like your pee don't go nowhere.
Yeah.
We've got to fight that, that image that I now have.
that you've given yourself.
Unfairly.
Unfairly charged.
MagSafe wireless charging,
Apple Watch charger,
Lightning, USBC,
everything you need to charge
all in one premium device.
There's no more juggling adapters
and wall outlets at the airport
just to get 20%.
With 20 watts of power,
it charges your phone as fast as it possibly can.

you've got up to three full phone charges
in your pocket.
It has MagSafe compatible wireless charging
so you can keep it magnetically attached to the back of your iPhone
if you want some permanent extra juice
and the newest iPhone drops
so make sure you pair it up with a power bank
that actually keeps up.
iPhone what?
What number is this?
This would probably be the 17 or something?
Yeah, we're on 17 now.
When did you get your 17, Q?
What's that, bro?
When did you get your iPhone 17?
When are you doing?
No, I actually got it because I had the 14.
I had an upgraded for a few years,
so when the 17 came out, I got it.
Oh, so you got that.
the newest phone on the market.
Oh, yeah. Oh, I do.
Is it much better than the 14?
Yeah.
I mean, it's faster and it takes better pictures, but it's the same fucking phone.
You know, maybe it was a 15.
No, it was 14.
It used to be an event when the new iPhone came out.
That has not been the case lately, huh?
Well, they haven't, I guess it's the same thing.
I mean, the foldable one is coming.
That might be.
But remember when shit used to be exciting?
now everybody's had a phone their entire lives.
Nobody cares anymore.
Like, I'll just get it later.
I'm not standing in a line for six hours.
People are still doing that.
No, this is how I'm not going to do that anymore.
But are people still doing that.
I think some people line up.
There are.
Yeah, for 17.
Yeah, for sure.
Well, they want to buy them so they can turn them and flip them on eBay and shit, you know,
in case they run out.
I have a 15th.
I couldn't bring myself to get the 7th.
I don't need it.
Like, my phone works fines.
And I was like, but that orange one is pretty cool.
Orange phone.
phone, yeah.
And it does nothing else but be orange.
Yeah, pretty much.
You've got an orange towel.
That's Gettom's towel.
You're right with your face, would it?
You got these orange straps over here.
I don't know why about my face.
I was wiping on my iPad.
Oh, sweaty.
Now let me clean off my iPad.
Are you claiming you don't like orange?
No, I do.
I know you do.
Yeah, I do.
I'm just saying.
I'm not the fucking pumpkin you're trying to make me out to be.

All right.
That's it.
I'll have one this week.
Only one spot.
Hugh, I had to ask your advice on this.
Walt, you can weigh into.
Okay.
That little, that kitten that I got about a year and a half ago,
I kind of don't like her.
Ooh, why?
She's so fucking nasty to me for no reason.
I've never been anything but like sweet and nice to this cat.
Every time like I have like, you know, if I get a breakfast sandwich, I have a little bacon, I'll give her a little bacon.
I give Salem a little bacon.
I have chicken.
Like I always share.
I always share whatever I'm eating.
But like yesterday I went to like, and she's constantly running from me.
And Mary Beth is like, oh, she's playing.
I'm like, I don't think she's playing.
Like when a cat like gets down all low and is like looking all over the fucking place for an escape route, like that to me is not playing.
Yeah.
Here to Catman, Kea.
What would he?
What do I do here?
You and Peter Chris are a Catman, but what would you do in this instance?
Well, thank you, Walter.
I find myself resent her.
Well, what else is going on?
Is she, does she not let you pet her ever?
Is it, is it, she doesn't sleep on the bed with you?
She sleeps on the bed with Mary Beth on her side.
She lets Mary Beth rough her up.
She lets Mary Beth pet her.
She sits on Mary Beth's lap.
Love Mary Beth.
That's not a problem.
Me, though.
No matter what I do, she doesn't like me.
I went to, I was like, hey, little cat.
And I pet her yesterday.
Like she was like on the cat street looking up.
Yeah, exactly.
A big hiss and a fucking swipe my way.
And I was like, you little motherfucker.
And then runs away.
Runs away.
I'm like, how do I get this cat to like me?
You're intimidating.
You're a big guy, man.
You know what I mean?
Like I'm trying to look at it from this poor little cat's perspective.
Like this lumbering giant is like constantly.
Me pet you.
Like me flip, flippers.
pinball machine.
Exactly.
Man, I don't know what to do.
It's like, I kind of think you just fucked.
I've never had this problem before.
Wow.
That's not what we expected for the cat band.
You just give up.
What are you going to do?
I mean, you could try like how much you do like catnip with her?
Yes.
Put some catnip behind your ears, spread it in behind your...
She's a wha!
Let me get that catnip.
But like, have you done that?
Have you laid out some catnip and got her in that euphoric state?
No, I haven't.
I should, though, right?
Try that.
Try bribery.
What's worked on every other woman, baby?
Gifts.
Yeah, that's true.
Bring gifts, baby.
Get her high.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm going to have to, man.
I've got no choice.
Yeah.
I mean, maybe get another cat.
Well, I got two now.
Get another one?
Get another one that just that likes me?
I mean?
Yeah.
Like get your cat.
Ignore the other cat.
Yeah.
Well, I have the cat that likes me.
He won't leave me alone now, though.
Like he's an older cat now.
He's like 11, almost 12.
And he will not stop.
Like if I try to read, like when I read like especially if it's a heavier book,
I'll sit on my couch, spread my legs out, like put my legs out straight.
Then I have like a little lap desk and a pillow that I put the book on.
And it just makes it easier to read.
So I don't have to hold the book the whole time.
Yeah.
He takes that as an invitation to come sit on the fucking pillow the entire time I'm trying to read and purr, just purr at me.
Which I can't stop.
I'm not going to stop them from doing it, you know.
So I just sit there and I scrunch up myself and I hold the book like I don't want to.
And I just read while he sits there.
So he's my buddy.
I do this with this.
This is my life.
It's sleeping position is dictated by cats, sitting position dictated by cats reading.
You know, enjoy us.
I mean, what do you need every cat in the house to love you?
He sounds like you got more than you can handle.
I just need them to like me a little bit, like not come after me.
You know, that would be nice.
Try the catnip.
I bet his catnip might might help.
Catnip and treats.
Just stop bribing the shit out of that girl.
Yeah, I'll give it a try.
I thought that the food would, like, you know, anytime I have shrimp or chicken or a little bit of bacon, like she gets some.
And then yesterday I was just like, you know what?
No more for you.
No more.
So it's like, it's so funny because like you're a cognate, like you're a human.
and you're like spiting a cat by keeping you for you.
I know, I felt stupid.
I felt stupid feeling that way.
But I'm like, fucker.
A little piece of shit.
All right, I'm going to try the catnip.
That's not a bad idea.
Try the catnips.
See what happens.
But I think another cat's the answer.
Mm-hmm.
I think if I got another cat, I would get an older one, you know, one that's going to last
not as long as me, you know?
Yeah, I understand.
Suppressive.
Yeah, an older cat that needs a home.
Like, you know, it's like somebody's, like, like, like Walt Gottetti because the wife, or the, the master, the mistress died.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, it's his mistress.
Right.
Not his master.
It's his mistress.
That's what they call it?
I think so, right?
I think it's still master.
I think it's still master, yeah.
Yeah.
But, I mean, I don't, I'm not bumping against mistress.
Go for a bit.
Yeah, I'm going to say it.
Anybody doesn't like it can fuck off.
Whoa.
Mm-hmm.
I'm still got some residual anger.
from that little cat.
What do you got plans for
space monkeys?
We bring games down
or anything like that?
What do you think?
Don't have any games?
I have a fuck ton of conversation starters.
Bantor topics.
Bantering.
Scenarios.
Okay.
Very good.
Stuff that would appeal to you
and a Joe DeRosa type.
Nice.
Yeah.
So I think of the first one,
we're going to have like,
we'll have DeRosa,
we'll have a couple other people.
And then second night's
tell him Steve Dave Knight.
Sure.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We got Jimmy in there.
We'll get, uh, yeah, we got, get him.
We got, uh, we got, we got, uh, we got Ming.
Yeah.
The Maverick.
We got the Maverick's there.
We're pretty set.
I have a lot.
I have pages and pages and pages of stuff.
Great.
All right.
Sweet.
Cool.
So it should be fun.
It should be fun.
Oh, I was going to say, I was raging a little bit earlier today, Walt, on both our
behalf.
Uh, Mary Beth showed me this thing.
It's called a New Jersey review or something like.
that at some kind of like online New Jersey magazine.
And there's the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
And there's all the familiar faces that you expect to see, you know.
Bruce.
Bruce, Bon Jovi, Kirsten Dunst, Kevin and Jay.
Louis DeVito.
Louis, yeah, Louis DeVito.
You and I were not on there.
We're not in the Hall of Fame.
It doesn't matter that we had a fucking TV show for seven years.
We're not in the Hall of Fame.
But you know who is?
Somehow Ernie O'Donnell is in the Hall of Fame.
of Fame.
Bernie O'Donnell.
Now, look, I like the guy.
Right.
But to be placed in the Hall of Fame above us?
Well, what was his category for making it?
A producer, works with Kevin on films, that kind of stuff.
Okay.
All right.
I mean.
On screen talent for seven years.
You got to get on their radar, first of all.
I should be on the radar anyway.
If they're going to look up people like famous New Jerseyans or people who note at least.
At one time, not now.
That's a little lofty.
People of note.
I mean, I think having a TV show for seven years should make you of note.
Maybe not for fucking 10 years after.
But if they're looking up, people that were like, you know.
I don't know if you are the candidate, like, our caliber of entry that the Hall of Fame is looking for.
You have a bit of a, you got a bit of.
a rough side.
Oh, so you think I'm banned from the...
Not banned.
I just think you're like, like, if you were to be brought up, like, as a giving, given, not, what's it called when you're given the opportunity or they're going to review your career as a New Jersey in and your accomplishments and some of the things you've said and admitted to.
I don't know if it's a Hall of Fame worthy life.
I don't know.
You've not led a Hall of Fame worthy life.
From during the years of comic book, man.
It's your whole life.
It's not just, you keep one of the point.
He's saying you're a bad person.
Oh, like Muse has?
Like Muse has, Muses has let out Hall of Fame life his whole life.
Get the fuck out of here.
He beat heroin.
I beat Oxy.
It's not the same.
It is.
It is the same.
It's heroin in a pill form.
Don't give me that.
I should at least get a notable, like, a mention.
An honorable mention at the end of the list, don't you think, for kicking oxy?
Okay, yeah, maybe you get a pin, but I don't know if you get, I don't know if you get a bust in the Hall of Fame, though.
I don't know.
No.
You're a half-price entry on Tuesdays.
You keep pointing to this eight-year span that should negate the other 50-some years of, you know.
Why not?
What the fuck was already doing that was so great?
He was a fucking carpenter for,
Christ sakes.
Yeah, but it was a damn good one.
He built the shelves of my fucking house.
I know.
He is a great carpenter.
He was just going on that.
If they're like, hey, you know, what do you think?
Does he got your phone?
I'd be like, I'd look at those shells.
Like, you know what?
Those fucking shelves never sagged.
It's not a carpentry Hall of Fame, though.
So much fucking weight I put on my Omnibuses.
Right.
It's not a Marvel Master Works Hall of Fame.
It's a Hall of Fame for fucking notable people, like, notable in industries.
I'm sorry if there are like, you know, there's only one fits to Brian Johnson or Irby.
You piece of crap.
Oh my God.
I can't count on your vote, huh?
All right.
I think he weasled his way in a little bit.
How?
How do you wheezel your way in?
He was rubbing elbows with some of the Hall of Fame people like fucking Ming the Maverick.
You know what?
I'm going to ask him if he'll come on, Tom, Steve, Dave.
And defend his position.
And talk about his award and the honor of getting into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
Okay.
We'll see how he did it exactly.
See how he did it and maybe see if there's any chance for, I don't want it.
I wouldn't even, I would be aghast.
Oh, I'm going to nominate you.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
I won't show up.
I wouldn't get in.
But yeah, you need to do, you need to make more of a positive impact, I think.
You know, you need to have fucking put, you know, you need to.
Maybe I'll start dancing on Instagram.
I'll fucking get everybody on my side.
Jesus Christ.
Christ.
Right.
Am I wrong, Q?
What was...
What's that?
Am I wrong?
Um,
you know,
I will say this,
if there was a Hall of Fame of my heart.
That's the other place I need to be.
Yeah, he'd be in it.
That's my Hall of Fame.
I'll accept that.
Yeah.
Don't you think,
don't you think that not,
and I'm not putting down any of the other esteemed
Hall of Famers that you mentioned.
But don't you
ever think of that quote
that Groucho Mark said
where he's like, I don't want to be part
of anything that would have me.
Oh, have me as a member.
Yeah.
And you're like, it's just such a good,
it's a pretty great love.
Yeah, what do you want to be there?
In that fucking rarefied air
with that crew?
Not anymore.
Oh, he'd fucking.
Earlier today I did.
He'd be there in a heartbeat
if he got the fucking email that
ever going to give him an award.
I'm being honored.
I'm along the side with the industry giants like Ernie O'Donnell.
And I like Ernie.
I don't mean to break his balls about this, but Christ almighty, you're on TV for seven years
and they're not even like a notable mention.
Again, you keep pointing to this like TV.
Yeah.
Like that is not.
We're still on somewhere.
It doesn't mean as much as it used to in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Oh, sure it does.
No, it does.
Yeah, it does.
Being on TV is better than being in the movies.
You're in people's houses all the time.
I don't care.
Ask fucking Quinn.
There's a billion.
You can't get away from him.
Right, but there's a billion channels now.
Every time I turn around, there's Q.
I don't like it any more than you do, buddy.
If I had to be honest, if I had to just guess, I do think much like the Maverick Ming,
I think he kind of, you know, just a teeny bit.
I don't want to take it away from him.
but he probably rode in on the wake of Kevin's, like, getting the award, and they're like...
How about Ernie, too?
Oh, sure.
Why not?
Why not?
There's nobody else that's worthy, right?
Nobody else you know?
We're fucking Kevin Smith adjacent, for Christ's sakes.
If they did the research, they should have at least seen that, right?
What?
That were Kevin Smith adjacent, like, with comic book men and shit.
Like, they should be like, oh, here are guys that were on TV for seven years, which is not common.
How many other people besides the people that were on that show?
you know and Q in those guys.
Right.
So you feel that just having that show is...
Should put you in the Hall of Fame.
It should make you a first ballot Hall of Famer.
Maybe not first ballot.
Maybe not on the level of like a Danny DeVito or a Bon Jovi or Springsteen sucks now anyway,
so who cares about him?
But what about like, but by your logic, the Jersey Shore crew could get in there.
Some of them, the ones that were from Jersey.
Sure, why not?
Why not have Snooky in there?
Right.
But that's what I'm saying.
If the bar to entry allows for this net of people, like, you know, I don't have anything against Snooky, but I'm just saying, like, I'm talking about you and the way you look at life.
Like, is that what you want to be in there with?
What you're saying?
I don't belong.
No, I'm saying you're better than it.
Ooh.
Oh, that I like.
I'm saying you're better than it.
All right.
I'm actually kind of shocked that you give a shit at all because I think the cooler.
plays being like, ah, that shit's lame.
I wouldn't do that.
So even if they try to put me in now, I'm going to refuse it.
Yeah.
Well, you don't need that shit.
Who's that for?
Fuck that.
The night they have the Brian Johnson honors.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not showing up.
I just see Walt's face.
You just can't believe that.
Q is fucking dancing and fucking peddling and doing everything you can to fucking try to
fucking try to make it feel like it's like I belong on the list but I don't want to be in there.
I agree with him.
Fuck that shit.
I'm all turned around now.
I want to take it.
This is really awkward because Teddy was this been nominated to be in the New Jersey Hall of Fame because of his appearance on the lottery ticket.
All right.
Had I can get behind.
He's only lived in New Jersey for two years.
years, but he's, I know he's already eclipsed me.
God damn it.
I'll never be on a lottery ticket.
I know that much.
You can do the TikTok dances, though.
Yeah, I think I have to start doing TikTok dances.
They seem to be a crowd pleaser.
Fuck, well, was I just going to say, no.
Oh, when are those tickets coming out?
Because I'm really tired of trying to answer the question.
When are the tickets coming out?
The lottery tickets.
The lottery tickets.
I believe, I have a press conference that I have to, I must attend with Teddy
at the end of the month in the state capital.
Get out of your area.
Yeah, this is big.
Like we have security that's going to be, you know,
ushering us into the Capitol building.
Wow.
And we're going to be...
Secret service for Teddy, huh?
We're going to be like unveiling the ticket.
And I'm sure it's going to be picked up by all the local news.
I don't know if the national media cares.
Yeah, I don't know.
I bet you new jersey.
It's probably, probably, uh.
I can't imagine CNN is going to be covering it, but you never know.
News 12, most out.
News 12 will get it.
News 12 will get it, but.
Start ledger maybe.
I believe that after the news conference, uh, I believe that's announcing it to the war
all to New Jersey.
And then I imagine next, the next week after that it's available in all stores.
Yeah.
My God, does Mary Beth want to scratch a little fucking teddy ticket?
Yeah.
She's constantly asking me.
God, you imagine if there's like a millerable.
million dollar winner on a teddy ticket.
That would be great.
And the person who bought it only bought it for it because it was a teddy.
Yeah.
And then didn't scratch it because you wanted to preserve it.
So we just kept it in a draw for 10 years until it ran out of time.
Consideration.
That was the word I was looking for.
Oh.
When you're, you know, yeah, when the, when the forum or the council or they put you up for consideration, you've got to have.
more than just he was on TV for eight years on a basic cable show.
He's been in movies.
Right.
But they already got the big guy who made the movies there.
Right.
You know,
they got the guy who made the movies,
wrote the movies,
directed the movies,
you know?
So it's like,
what do you draw the line in?
Does the Chulies gum guy get in?
Sure,
why not?
He'd draw it right after Ernie O'Donnell.
You know,
does the,
does one of the,
does one of the,
of the, like, nameless customers and clerks get in.
Okay, so they're the same as being on TV for seven years.
Well, again, they got the star of the show who was on a great year.
You know, like this, the whole cast deserved to get in?
Was it that worthy of a show?
You have to.
Fuck, yeah.
No.
Oh, that was a great show.
It was a nice show.
It was a fun show.
It was a fun show.
But, like, should a whole wing to be devoted to it in the fucking Hall of Fame, though,
with fucking 16.
fucking bronze fucking busts.
I mean, like,
come on.
You're only,
you're only including two more people.
Does Kingpin get in too?
Like the customers do?
The customers don't get in.
Nope.
No, they weren't on TV.
He appeared multiple times as a customer.
Not as many times as we did.
Do you think it's crazy,
Q?
Now, I really, I actually, honestly, if I'm being
totally honest, I don't give a fuck if I'm in or not.
But is it crazy to think that being on TV for seven years,
they would at least look in your direction?
How do you know they have?
haven't. And they decided no, you're saying.
He's still a young man. Let's look at his resume maybe in 10 years, see if he's done
out. They say, I'm a young man?
Yeah. Oh, come on. Relative to what?
They got to play the PC game.
Okay. They don't want. Ageism.
But they got to look, let's take a look back at Brian Johnson in 10 years and see if he's
patted the resume a little bit more.
Okay.
Yeah.
A little bit of charity work.
Oh.
Oh.
Those guys don't do charity work.
See that fucking look.
That is not the look.
You see that reaction when I said charity work?
That is not the reaction of a fucking guy who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
It was like you threw holy water on a fucking demon.
He just recoiled.
Kevin did a lot of charity stuff.
And I bet you're any helped with that and Jay.
Oh, you think so?
So that's it.
Just charity work.
It's not just.
It's not just charity work.
It's not just TV.
It's not just one thing.
It's an encompassing body of work.
Like Ernie.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Okay.
But you don't know what Ernie does.
I know.
I don't know what he does.
But what if he's like a Little League team that he coaches or something like that, you know,
it's about giving to the community and stuff like that.
Yeah.
They won't let Brian coach Little League though.
I'm not even allowed to attend the games.
He keeps beating up.
The coach keeps beating up the pants.
We'll stop complaining about his cat.
He's beating up the kids.
He'll allow within 100 yards of a fucking Little League game.
Yeah, I have to watch it with binoculars.
And even then it's dicey.
They just see you muttering angrily to yourself over a hill.
I can coach that team.
Yeah.
I can make that team score a touchdown.
Yeah.
Why not?
Why not me?
Wait, what are they playing?
Oh.
Fuck it then.
Looks like a bunch of gay kids to me.
Get out here, Jun, you're too gay for my team.
Yeah.
He came out of a bunch of...
Like a femme.
Yeah, I don't know I was going to be coached on a bunch of gay wads.
He's back.
Coach, he's back.
He's hovering around the third base.
We've got to get him out of here.
All right.
Time out.
Time out.
Why, what's wrong?
Let me tell you, kids.
Back when I was on Oxy and I beat it.
Yeah.
Make sure you tell me.
You're not going to find out on New Jersey review.
Make sure you tell your parents I beat Oxy.
Yeah.
You know it's just like everyone, right?
What's oxy?
Don't worry about it.
Just tell them.
Harder to beat than heroin.
Yeah.
Pillform.
Heroin and pill form, kids.
I beat it.
Don't let these know nothing's like Flanagan tell you different.
I took it down.
Who's Flanagan?
I think that's a guy that sold me to Sling TV in a parking box.
Yeah, there was an opportunity for me to purchase a VC box,
but after your lukewarm review, I was like, I don't know.
I don't think so.
What do you mean?
I gave it a great review.
I thought you said like it's only good if you like sports.
I didn't.
It's really great if you like sports.
And then you started singing the praises of Plex.
Yeah, I have been on my Plex more than I have been on the VC box.
But that's because I'm in between seasons, though.
Oh, okay.
You know, hockey's ending.
So if it was more sports-oriented, you would be on the V.C.
I'll be on the V.C. box a hell of a lot more frequently when football and hockey
startup again.
All right. Maybe I'll rethink it then.
See, but...
But then I got to get a whole...
You can't, though. If you want to be eligible
for a nomination
to the New Jersey Hall of Fame, you cannot be on record.
I can't liberate...
You can't fucking... TV programs.
From their overseers.
You've got to walk the straight and narrow
if you want to get into the Hall of Fame.
Oh, man. All right.
So, walk the straight and narrow.
charity work, got to do something.
You know, you've got to be a little bit more choosy about what you reveal on the pod.
Now, at this point.
Yeah, I know.
I know that fucking genie's out of the bottle.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, though.
I bet you they may have fucking, I bet you they were ready to fucking shine in your bust and everything.
Oh, you think?
Yeah, then they were like, oh, I go.
You just went to a sex club.
And they had to be like, oh, you know what?
Call them call Ernie.
All right.
I didn't go to a sex club.
At least not as far as we know.
He doesn't copped to it.
Yeah.
It is probably defined about if anybody, like, there's got to be somebody on the council that's like, well, here's the reasons why he should be in.
But then there's another guy who's like.
Here's 50 scandals as to why he shouldn't be in.
Here's the cons.
There's a lot of them.
All right.
What was the pros again?
Eight years on television.
Oh, what else?
Well, he did.
He did balk of charity work, but then said he might consider it.
He's currently in a feud with a cat.
His own cat.
Oh, boy.
Wow.
Wow.
Who told you that?
Who told you about the Hall of Fame stuff?
Mary Beth saw it on Facebook.
See, this is why I don't go to Facebook and shit.
Yeah.
So I'm upset you?
I'm not going to be burned.
That upset you?
Not at all.
But I got to say, I did question, like, why is Bernie it and not us?
That's so strange.
I would, God damn it.
Why didn't you fucking record that conversation?
It might be recorded.
We were in the car.
It might be recorded.
I'll check.
Oh, that's great.
I want to see the real reaction.
All right.
To the,
Oh, that's great.
I'm probably hearing the news.
Talk about the Oscar snubs.
Yeah, I know.
Forget the Oscar snubs.
Grammys?
Indeed.
What about the New Jersey Hall of Fame?
You might have to pay a Fido to even be eligible.
You know how like the Wall.
I like the Walk of Fame.
Yeah, you have to pay for that star.
You might have to pay for it.
But like what's a cost that would be palatable to a Brian Johnson to get that award?
To be in the Hall of Fame?
Yeah.
20 bucks.
Oh, it's more than that.
More than 20?
$20 doesn't even buy a dinner anymore.
I know.
It doesn't, does it?
I was thinking more like a thousand, I bet you.
I got to give a thousand to be in that shitty Hall of Fame.
Now it's shitty.
Where is the Hall of Fame?
It's at the, you know, the mall that, uh, Azanidu, where the Brendan Burnerina used to be?
Yes.
That's where the Mall of America?
Yes.
No, it's not the Mall of America.
That's a Minnesota.
American Dream.
American Dream.
That's it.
Yes.
It's in there.
Oh, all right.
Yeah, they're going to have holograms of all the end up the inductees.
Now I want to be in again.
Wow.
So I could go there and I could see a hologram of, of Jay?
No, Ernie.
Yeah, you can see it to be.
Oh, I don't know.
said muses in it.
Oh, no, just the inductees.
He's already been in there already.
Oh, yeah, I want to see that hologram, man.
I'll go see an Ernie hologram.
You kidding me?
I'd buy a little one in the gift shop.
If they had Ernie holograms, I would go see it, too.
I'd be like, that's fucking crazy.
Yeah.
Oh, like, and they do one of the ones that, like, talk and shit like that they use and show,
so like Ernie comes out and he gives a little talk on his contributions to...
Viewers, you want to hear about my charity work.
Yeah.
And some shelf building that I did.
reduced.
Yeah, and some awesome shelving that I built for Walt.
Oh, I know he's done some work for you, too, and you're conveniently forgetting it.
You put my door up.
That's true.
He put more than one door up.
Yeah, he probably already even told me, you know, that door I put up for the Johnson?
He broke it down again.
You tore it down in anger.
That's why I put a new door up.
That's true.
Yeah.
It's true.
I mean, it sounds like Ernie is one of the last guys doing all the manly work in New Jersey.
What?
Podcasting isn't manly?
You know what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying?
He turned his back on construction and carpentry.
Well, his knees fucking went bad.
Yeah, he gave his body to the craft.
He literally fucking broke his fucking body.
Yeah, he did tell me about his knees.
Yeah.
Your knees are bad, too.
I got two bad knees, so I can't get in.
Tell me again how they went bad.
Was it because of all the fucking carpet laying you were doing?
I think it's my jeans.
And not my blue jeans.
I have my jeans around too tight
to disclose my knees,
pressurized him.
He's bad, coach.
His jeans are even tight as
the jeans are.
Those have to be his wife's jeans.
There's no way.
Hey, boys.
It looks like he's giving himself a trophy.
Is that?
Oh, that's just sad, man.
This year's winner, I'm proud to present Brian Johnson.
Does he think he's award?
We were supposed to do Tesdi Awards.
Okay, that's right.
I'm sure you'd pick up a few there.
I have to, right?
Yeah, there's no doubt.
You'd go home with your arms full of Tesde Awards.
If I don't make it into the Tesde Hall of Fame, there's something really wrong.
Something varies and I'm not.
You're definitely going to get it.
I don't know about first ballot, though.
Oh, man.
I haven't proven myself.
Let's talk at 10 more years,
if I really apply myself.
I need a producer for the Ted Zee Awards.
I need one of the guys to work on it.
I asked curator if he was interested.
Yeah.
What do you say?
He never answered.
No testy awards.
Yeah, we haven't seen any testy awards.
I guess that answers my question.
Yeah, but he, doesn't he live down south somewhere?
Yeah, he's not.
He lives down in Georgia.
And I asked him, I was like, hey, would you like to cultivate the categories and, you know, and basically do a lot of work for the testes?
And he, I thought he would be super excited about it.
He kind of was like, you know, kind of like, you know, like, you know, like kind of like you're giving.
even bry the pep to like kind of convince and trying to convince me.
Yeah, that would be fun.
Wow, that's a lot of work, huh?
And, yeah, you know, and then other things probably got in the way, but yeah.
Yeah.
I asked him if you'd come up with a whole bunch of separate categories.
And we were going to have a red carpet event at the bowling alley.
The bowling alley since that time has closed down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I'm not sure there's other venues we could hold it, but.
It would take a lot of work, though.
Yeah.
We could do the Gramercy Theater.
Where's that?
That's what...
We did New York at that time.
We did the two shows.
Ooh.
I remember I almost got into a car accident when I drove up to that time.
I remember that, too.
Walked that way.
What?
What about Count Basie?
Is that too big a venue?
you?
Yeah, I mean
That's like five
gramercy's like
Yeah,
Grams sees like 400 seats
For the TESD Awards
Yeah
You know we can't
We can't move five
Five,
isn't really five thousand
There's no way
I think it's like
No
Yeah
We could do 1200
No it's got to be more than
1,200
I think so
I'll look it up real fast
You know what
In the TESD tradition
though
In TESD fashion
What's greater
Than fucking
Only selling 10%
of the seats
Right?
Well not
Well you still have to pay
to rent a theater.
So where's that coming from then?
Well,
everybody who's nominated has to pay
double for their ticket.
Right?
You know, prop, prop, prop.
You're getting an award.
We need three grand for that award.
That's how, oh, just like the Jersey
Hall of Fame.
Anybody who gets an award
has to pay for it.
Yeah, 1,568.
That's fucking,
oh, wow, man.
Nothing.
It's nothing.
We did.
How many is in the grammarcy group?
Can you look that up?
Because I think it's around 500 or 400 or something.
Yeah, it's like 400 and change.
And we sold that out twice in one night.
So if you were to combine those people, that's almost 800.
Okay.
900.
All we need to do is got another 600 people.
Episode 700?
And we're not going to price people out like Hugh did for the fucking roast.
What roast?
The roast that he just was in, remember?
He was just in that roast
Down to the Count Basie.
Oh, it was too expensive for us to go
Because Q had his fucking greedy hands out.
I had you on a list.
It was for the best you guys didn't come.
Don't worry about it.
How many is Gramercy?
Gramercy is 650.
6.50.
Yeah, we didn't do standing.
When you put the seats down, I think it's like 400 and change.
What do you think?
What do you think?
What episode are we up to know?
660.
No, like 670.
Yeah, we're going on a clip that's fucking way too fast.
Because even if we don't do this for episode 700, we're already fucking encroaching on 700 way faster than I thought we would.
That's what happened when we do it.
We're recording it fucking every other day, it feels like.
Well, I got next week off.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got to alert everyone that will be in Q West.
So there will be no episode next week.
You guys got to come back to two with fucking some bonker stories.
All right.
Yeah.
Some stories that are going to knock
people for loop.
All right.
Well, what type of thing would that be?
I don't know.
I mean, you know.
You know what a great story.
Well, there'll be some, look,
we're going to have Jimmy the Hair guy down there,
you know, right away guaranteed stories.
Something's going to happen, right?
Always.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we'll come back with stories.
Okay.
Yeah, that would be, that would be pathetic.
We came back with nothing.
Okay.
That's all right.
That was fun.
Have you said.
Okay.
All right.
When do you guys leave?
I leave Wednesday.
I think he leaves tomorrow, right, Saturday?
Yeah, I leave tomorrow for Florida.
You're driving?
No, no, flying down.
I'm going down for Easter with my parents first.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
What do you guys do on Easter?
Do you guys, a big meal?
Yeah, big meal, big Italian, you know, meal, some slight religious overtones.
Or do you have to eat?
For this, my mom will probably cook.
I think Easter's like a home, you know.
She's Italian.
She doesn't want to go out.
I mean, she's getting to an age where she appreciates eating out more than cooking at home.
But I imagine that we're going to, I feel ripped off if I went all the way down to Florida and get a home-cooked meal.
You know, Fridays?
Yeah, like, that would be upsetting to it.
I'm hoping for that.
Coming down to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, the least I could do is going to bowl of spaghetti.
Well, like, Fridays wouldn't be good enough for Mr. Aquin, a happy Easter.
Just tell them to put on an entire accent for you.
They're in their red and their red and fucking black striped shirts.
Manja, manja, Mr. Quinn.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, uh, have fun.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll have.
We'll be back with stories.
Yes.
It's the least we could do for you, Walt.
Oh, yeah.
Not for me.
For the show?
For the end.
For the good of the ants.
For the ants.
For the ants.
For those who can't attend and who are bummed, they can.
At least maybe they can live vicariously through some great stories.
Yeah, we'll make it sound awesome so they really feel like they missed it.
Yeah, fuck you guys.
Tell them, Steve, Dave.
