These fucking women... Women only have one role I'm comfortable with being a part of that it's okay You might want to distance yourself now. Hello and welcome to this week's Tellum Steve Dave.

I am here with BQ. Hey bud, it's just me and you right now. You know we had it, we had a start time set. 11 a.m. sharp. First, I mean, I can't remember the last time we recorded a Tellum Steve Dave before the new now, but here we are You know, it's not that early It's not

People have been at the workday, you know for two hours by now They're they're all they're already Revved up they're in there. They're practically in the middle of their day. They're fucking looking forward to lunch at this point man We do have all Flanagan coming. But who knows when? The exact time when, the exact moment, we'll find that together, because I guess it's just, I don't know, maybe since he stopped managing his stories, just lost a little bit of professionalism, would you say? I'd say so.

I mean, his track pants are even a little bit of professionalism, would you say? I'd say so. I mean his His track pants are even a little sagier than normal He was here, but he forgot his microphone at home, so he had to go home. So we decided Let's just start recording without him to rip on him a little bit a little bit of shit Because I tell you we were gonna we're there was possible that we were going to record with Gidem because you were busy with family. So I told them to bring two mics and then he said, well, I thought you only needed him if Gidem came.

But then you'd only need two mics if you, so even if you took Gidem out of the equation, like in case Gidem ate one or something, I didn't really understand. Yeah, man, not the new Gid. Is he one that you still walk? Oh, I believe he is. Yeah, I believe he is. They said they were going for a walk yesterday. So I'll have to check in on get them. And I said, Hurricane stroll for the two of them. I know, right? That's right. We're recording in the middle of a hurricane. That's how dedicated we are. That's how dedicated while Flanagan is. He came out in a hurricane, went back home in a hurricane,

now he's gonna come here in a hurricane. Yeah. And all we can do is make fun of him for it. Wow, we should people. This does give us the opportunity to discuss the most important matters though, without walked around to Marcus. Something that's been at the forefront for weeks now.

For weeks, I have, I want you to walk him through it, I guess. You know. So we went down to Elvis week, Elvis days, whatever down in Tennessee, Q and I. And on the way down there, he wasn't speaking of Elvis, but he was speaking of something that Adam Green, noted horror filmmaker, brought up to him a reality show that he said Q had to watch. Yeah, he's been telling me that for about seven years now. And I have not ignored because I respect Adam's opinion, but I'm not really reality TV show guy despite my profession. So I And I found myself on my couch one night and

And found myself on that couch for the rest of the night most of the next day watching Daisy of love Now for those of you who don't remember 2009 There was actually probably one of in 2008 there was a show called Rock of Love and it was a bunch of women competing to be was it Brett Michaels girlfriend. Yeah Brett Michaels was looking for love and he was going to do it on a reality show. Right. So he you know went through the process now have you ever seen Rock of Love because this this didn't inspire me to watch it because I'm I feel like there's no way it's going to be this good. I don't want to watch Rocker Love because I'm such a Brett Michaels fan. I don't know, I should watch it. I just worry that I'm going to watch it and

I don't know, actually, after days you love, I got to go back and watch it. I've got to be honest with you. But, you know, I love Brett Michaels, you know. We've discussed this. I just feel like the female contestants will not be as wild and Chock full of personality Like these guys were because these guys there wasn't a lot of infighting with these guys It's almost like they were friends. So the shows yeah, it's called Daisy of love Which was a spinoff of rock of love She came in second place. She was runner up right. She was runner up in the second season of Rock and Love, which is Adam Green loves to point out is the only thing that Daisy

Delohoi is famous for is for losing Rock of Love season two. Yet she somehow converted that into her own show. Oh my god, it's Daisy of Love. She's a rock chick and they're getting 20 of the biggest meatheads they could find Rounded up into this house. It's bros. It's rockers. It's freaks. It's freaks. It's the straight-laced It's people that you're like. I don't know people like this in real life Like I pointed out when we were watching it I'm like it's like they cast a movie and these are some of the characters the way these guys dress the way these guys act It, it's like they cast a movie. And these are some of the characters, the way these guys dress, the way these guys act. It's unbelievable. It's pretty crazy, because even like, all right,

so just a lot of everybody, so finally I watched it, like two weeks ago, I watched it, I watched the entire series through in a 24 hour period, and then proceeded to watch it again later that week with Johnson and Memphis. You would think we would have done anything. We watched all of all of Daisy of Love. And then I watched it a complete third time through the second week with Sal and you for later

half of it. It is that good. The show is that good. I try to explain it to people. It's not bad good. It's good good. The producers of the show have taken endless hours of footage and crafted something that is unbelievably unique. And you're right, like the secret ingredient is the guys on the show. They're all most of them. By the end of the show, people that you're watching in the first few episodes, by the time you get midway, you're fucking in love with these guys. By the time you get to the end, every elimination is heart-rending. You're just like, who are they going to, like, no, I like that guy. I don't want him to go, but he seems like an obvious choice. Yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable how much you end up

caring about the guys. And this entire episode's were like, Daisy's barely in it. Like the producers knew what they had on their hands with this group of guys and focused on them. And look, if you watch it today and I cannot recommend enough that you do, one thing you're gonna notice is the way they dress is odd even for 2009.

They're wearing like early 2000 clothing which is pretty interesting. But there is some language in it that say isn't doesn't fly like it. Like there's some cancel, cancel people on that show if they were in the public today with some language, right? You just got to look past it because when one of your favorite guys starts dropping f-bombs, you're like, oh man Oh, it's back That's pretty quick You're standing good. We're mid conversation. We're already recording. Oh, wow. You couldn't even wait. You're chomping out a bit.

Well, we're talking about something for a fact. We know you wouldn't want to talk about it. Do you remember rock-a-love the Brett Michael show? It was a Broadway thing, right? No, no, no. It was a reality show. Oh, yes. Yeah. So there was a spin off of it called Daisy of love And which one of the contestants from season two got her own show where guys were competing for okay, and it's it's from 2009

It is fucking awesome. It's one of the most watchable things I've ever seen in my entire life You will be it. Where is it streaming right now? You can, I'm so glad you asked that question, Walter, if you go to Hulu, the uncensored version is streaming on Hulu, it's in standard definition, it's gonna look shitty on your TV. You're not even gonna notice by the time you hit the second episode.

Well, if I could beg you to watch the first two episodes of this show, and get back to me with your thoughts, if you could stop at that point. I don't know. By the time you're at the end of the second episode, you're usually in for the full ride. And I will say this, the fifth episode of Daisy of Love is bar none, one of the funniest things

I've ever seen on television in my entire life. And I am not Brian, am I exaggerating? No, he's not. When he said like, okay, so I'm gonna name some things that we could have done while we're in Memphis. There's riverboat cruises. There's haunted walking ghost tours. There's bus tours with musical stops. There's riverboat cruises. There's city tours. Food tours. There's a whole bunch of shit. And what did we do? We watched Daisy a Love. Yeah, we sat in we do? We watched Daisy of Love for probably, I mean the episodes are 45 minutes each and we watched the first

five that first night right? Yeah first five so so we put in a good four hours and and change. We regretted none of it not a single not a single second spent watching Daisy of love is wasted Honestly like once I was like I gotta go back to my room because it's like two in the morning the next day I'm like that's all I looked forward to And what this is across the spectrum like I've shown all people of all stripes this show like of course every socio-political racial like, of course, every socio-political racial divide line and everybody's getting back to me and they're saying, what the fuck was I doing

when the show first aired? Why the hell didn't I watch this the first time? Dude, I watched Sal watch, like, when we watched the fifth episode together, I didn't even watch the CV, I just watched Sal's face and it was, is if it was, he was on Showtime at the Apollo. He was, Sal was standing was, he was on Showtime at the Apollo. He was, Sal was standing up, he was fucking clapping.

I'm not, I am not exaggerating a single thing. You were there, right? You saw it. Sal was like fucking, he was rolling around on the couch. He was fucking hitting things. It's the fifth episode of Daisy in Love. It is one of the most must-watch things that I can recommend.

But what made you find the show that is almost a decade old, like rediscover something that would probably be buried upon this amount of content? Adam Green has been telling me to watch it for seven years now. And I just, I just never did it. And then I was just bored in the couch one night.

I was like, you know, let me just check. Because Adam's really high on the show. Let me check it out and and that was it man I was six episodes in the first night. I'll talk to like three in the morning watching it It's crazy the show it's so good and then so we watched Daisy of love well, we're in Well, we're in Memphis and it just it wets your appetite for more so we go okay what else can we watch that we watched the first two episodes of a show called tool academy do you remember this? no it's basically it's a bunch of women who are like my husband or boyfriend is an asshole

I need relationship boot camp so they gather all these guys together get them and you know the you know it's the opening show they get them into the one spot and These guys are like muscle heads and bros and they're going crazy ripping their shirts off and everybody's flexing and it's like everyone's Fuck it full of personality because they think the show is to win the coveted title of Mr. Awesome. So they think they're going to be Mr. Awesome. And then they quickly learn that it's not a Mr. Awesome contest. Are you a fucking like can you be rehabilitated from? Yeah, the girlfriends secretly set them up to go to this tool academy to learn how to

not be tools anymore. Oh, that's where the name comes from, then. The earnestness with which the host delivers everything is pretty fucking funny. It's like, he's no less serious than if it was like the bachelor or something like that. Did you guys agree that most of the men on the show were tools? And they did. There's no way there's no other option. Yeah.

They are tools. Wait, wait, wait. Just to get back to Daisy, love for a second. Do you remember Ricky Rackman, Walt? Sure do. I met a little M.T.V.O. Was that close? He's back in school.

He's back in school, yeah. Okay, he's the co-host on Daisy of Love, and he is in Hell. It's so fun. Like the look on his face while he's dealing with all these fucking shit. Like he's calling himself a husband. He's fucking sitting there staring at the camera. Like he's just like anytime Daisy,

because like Hill advised Daisy throughout the show. And spoiler alert, she will always without fail do the one opposite thing that he fucking tells it to do and you just see his resolve breaking down as the series goes on He mentions it at one point. He's like well She hasn't done anything. I've she's gone against all advice of a game in her so oh, yeah I don't expect her to follow this and this is like last episode It is well I have in my life listened to maybe 10 episodes of podcast of a podcast.

Since Daisy of Love, I've been hunting down podcast appearances of old of the cast members. I have been online like a fucking like the FBI finding out what these guys were up to today. Like I'm still still as we like the first thing I think up when I wake up in the morning is Daisy of love. And usually the last thing before I go to bed at night is Daisy of love.

Yeah, it's something, man. It's so much. So much engine content. It is. That's not, I texted so my buddy Jimmy that I was in the firehouse with, he watched it originally when it was on. Like we'd be in the firehouse,

we'd be cooking the meal or up in house watching he throw it on and we'd all be like get this fucking shit off the TV and Jimmy would be like nah she's hot you gotta see if she's hot and we'd be like get it the fuck off the TV I actually texted him last night and said hey man I owe you an apology I said you remember us busting your balls about Daisy at love? He's like, yeah, she was hot. I go, yeah, I said I finally watched it I was like, you were right. I shouldn't have told you to shut it off But she it's weird though. She's she's really not hot. She has every quality That you would be a point to and be like, well, that would make her hot that would make her hot But somehow when it all comes together, you're like she looks yeah, she looks really drunk most of the time and sometimes even like is she special needs like

She's out of it a lot yeah Like they could be I think I was a whole yeah, I did throughout my research in multiple interviews with the guys on the show They all said that they all started drinking around 11 and they would just hammer it throughout, like the entire filming, they would just hammer it. I mean, these guys are fighting their breaking bottles over their heads, like, oh, like all kinds of shit. And it's real.

Or is it such good acting? Well, this is where we have to put our full faith and trust in our friend Adam Green, because he swears up and down. Yeah, everything. And I don't know what his source is. The producers. He, he, Adam is so into this show, he's even talked to the producers of it. The producers, obviously they're editing tricks.

They're, they're always going to be editing tricks. But the producers say it's 200% real is the quote. Like those guys are those guys and that fucking that episode five that happened. They said was actually even funnier that like the network made them dial it back because they were like it gets too weird. So I mean it's fucking nuts Walt. You can just watch the first two episodes. And then one of the episodes is a clip show and like you says, it's uncensored. So like these guys are, it's a very homoerotic show. Like these guys are constantly wrestling and like like like

the dog pile in and like all kinds of weird shit. And in the clip show, they're diving into the pool and they're naked. They're hanging around. Yeah, you see big grunts. Yeah. Yeah. And I think you see, I see. So it's some of the character names, things like 12 pack, because he's got 12 abs, flipper, because he jumps a lot.

Chee-chee, sinister, fox. Oh, fox. Oh, my God, it it's fucking madness it's the whole shows great big rig uh... big rig i can i love them all i love them all i love every one of them once they cut out that first round where there's some does in there yeah yeah yeah

magic from there on out that's why you can get every single correct person there's a guy named Weasel Who's like for he's from Jersey. He looks like he looks like Jeff Spacoli, doesn't he? Like an over the hill Jeff Spacoli and axe accordingly. Oh, so that was Sean Penn right fast times originally. Yeah. Yeah. Well, put it this way. I think I saw a tear in Sal's eye When we when we finally saw the last a Weasel. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Let's put it this way. I think I saw a tear in Sal's eye. When we finally saw the last a weasel.

Yeah. Yeah. There's certain people you don't want to see them go. It's like they're so lame but so awesome. You're just like, I just want them to stay. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, there's 17 minutes on Daisy of Love. But everybody listening, like, I swear, you guys won't regret it if you dive into it Yeah, if you have hulu and like it's it's fun It's more fun to watch with people a friend or some people that you can really like the excitement swells Yeah, when you're in a room full of people would you be upset or disappointed if you found out it was all staged? I think I would just appreciate it because at some points,

it gets so fucking crazy that I said to Johnson at one point, I go, you forget you're not watching a scripted show because it's so fucking nuts. You're like, no, no way this could be real. But then I have to get to, like, you have to spend all the time with those guys and knowing they're drunk, you're just like, because it all comes from their personality like it's it like it's not like the producers are like All right now Let's make them do a slip-in slide like all the show like it all just comes from these guys interacting with each other And like Brian said like there's a weird thing that's really endearing and that they're all in competition with each other

But the guys seem to genuinely like each other And get along with each other with the exception of two people who all like the Darth Vader's of the whole thing. It's fucking great, dude. It's great. And one of the Darth Vader's is so dumb, like just a dummy. It's so fucking funny, like he'll try to talk his way out of shit. And you've never seen a more tongue twisted marble mouth motherfucker like the like maybe the worst liar

I've ever seen in my life He doesn't make any sense at any point. It's amazing and everybody from week when Daisy Delahoya is looking at you like you're a fucking idiot You know you got issues going on Yeah, she never did and And then after that, like you said, it's like she kind of disappeared. She came out in 2016 or 2015 for an interview, talked about some substance abuse issues, and then sort of quietly retired again. Wow. And I wonder what, I wonder, let me see if I can find out what. Why don't you try to get her on do a Tom Steve Dave interview

She I would do Walt I'm I'm setting you up to watch this because I would really like the rest of this year There'd be nothing but getting cast members of Daisy of love on the time We definitely get no doubt about oh man look I look 12 pack lives in Jersey. I think London still lives in New York I mean, I think we can get these guys I Would be so too. I mean, if they all disappeared and well, what happened was I don't I don't want to get I don't want to out of two spoilers. But I don't know if you remember a few years ago this this guy who won I love money season three ended up killing horribly killing his girlfriend like murder. Oh yeah or kind of for fingers. Yeah, put her in a dumpster in Las Vegas.

That's him. Yeah, some run into Jason Seder next to a dumpster. So some of the cast members of Daisy and Love were in that season of I Love Money 3, and they never aired it because he killed the, so, so, and then VH1 canceled all those shows. So there were supposed to be multiple spin-offs of Daisy of love with these guys, because, well, they're so fucking awesome. And then that guy, and that guy killed his girl, and then that canceled all, they can't, a VH1 canceled all reality shows.

Didn't air that season. We got robbed. Obviously not as bad as the poor woman that ended up in a suitcase, but we were victims as well as it turns out. Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to give anything away, any spoilers or anything, but some people did appear on other shows. Big rig appeared as a contestant on the revival of WWE tough enough. Yeah. Yeah.

I can't find any ratings, though, for the show. show well, I mean it is a long Wikipedia entry to it has like all the eliminations and like the the brackets and that kind of shit Yeah, oh yeah people please don't look up anything like just watch the show like you don't want to ruin anything You don't it's it's it's too precious It's too precious and and there's too little of it for you to ruin it by looking ahead. Just take the ride, buy the ticket, take the ride. That was one of Adam Green's orders as well and it turns out Adam Green was right. Adam Green was 100% correct. 100% correct.

We only got to watch those two episodes of Tula Academy but so far so good. That's another him on he suggested, right? Yeah, he said the next thing to go on to is Tula Cater, yeah. Yeah. But Tula Cater, he seemed a little more mean spirited, like from what we watched. Oh, definitely.

It seemed like people were getting hurt right and left. Yeah, like the women were crying a lot and shit like that. Daisy loves just a fucking, you know, unless you're sinister and you feel a little down in the dumps, like, then the show's pretty much a fun ride the whole time. Yeah, it's all kind of me. They like interview the guys and the guys like, hey man, it's when I'm here, I'm singling. You know, like, all that macho talk and then like, they bring in the women and then they play like what they said on the screen, like,

with the girl sitting right there. You gotta sit next to your girlfriend while you're bright, while they show footage of you bragging about fucking three chicks last week. It's fucking it, it's so uncomfortable to watch. Yeah. So I'm not even gonna try to get a clever segue into this commercial. Okay, this episode is sponsored by Bluetooth, guys.

in front of the sink and like try to put a pill in my mouth and swallow it. I just couldn't do it. My kids dysfunctional. He's lenticked. Yeah, really hard times to all on pills, especially when you have like, if I ever had to take one of them like larger than normal size pills, it would be forget it. I'd be like a horse pill. Yeah, can't do it.

And it'd be like, I'd rather deal with whatever dysfunction I have. Mm-hmm. Still to this day, huh? Well, I don't take any pills now. Oh, that's true. Yeah, man, I'm pill free. not even some buffering here in there. Well, I take baby aspirin. I can chew it.

I can chew it. Nice. You just got to take 40 of them. I'm all better. I just took an hour of taking baby aspirin to get rid of my small headache. Still hurts. A couple more. Do you ever have good baby aspirin to get rid of my small headache. Still hurts, good, a couple more. Do you ever have good baby aspirin? You used to taste that back in the day.

The best. The orange flavor. St. Joseph's. Then they kind of changed the flavor of it. And it didn't taste as good. It was really legitimately, like I thought it was candy at a certain point. Right.

And same thing with the cofs here, St. Joseph's co syrup oh that ain't ever talking oh my god yeah I would like it was like this thick really tasty like syrup hmm and oh my god and then they stopped making it and it was then it tasted like medicine but at a certain point in the early 70s I could have been like a six-year-old hooked on fucking cough syrup. Can you imagine if they hadn't changed the formula? That's why they did it, right? They're like too many kids are drinking this shit

cause it tastes good. It really, I mean, I can't recall the exact taste but I do recall like kind of lying and like if I even had like a little scratchy throat, I think I need some cough syrup, ma'am. Oh yeah. Cause it tasted that good. And just coat it your like, it's like this lube

that just coat it your throat. Let's just say that's why, mom. We've got a little bit of a headache. I need 300 milligrams of oxycodone. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I So if you could benefit from extra confidence when it's time to perform, visit Blutew.com for more details and important safety information.

stuff but that's also where they crown the new official Elvis tribute artist for the next year Grace Lens official Elvis impersonator they don't call them impersonators anymore I learned it's a negative connotation yeah it's tribute artist and and they asked you a truly wall to come down as a big Elvis fan and be one of the four judges who gets to decide who the next official Elvis tribute artist will be. So I had a very important job.

I, I don't know if there's anything cooler than it's gonna come out of you being. Yeah. As big as you are right now than that. That is fucking dope. I mean, you've been to Pimble fucking tournaments. Yeah. But you know, I mean, but this is got to highs.

The highs. You've got to be this is got to be one of the coolest perk of all. I found though that because the other four judges was a woman that started with Elvis and Kiss and Cousins, a member of the Grammys and a music journalist. So there was some fucking real like, yeah, because so you were the, you were the, the total celebrity. I was a wildcard. Yeah.

Yeah. That's a nice way to put it. I was a wild card. Yeah, that's a nice way to put it Because it's like are they were are they suspicious of his of his Elvis cred? I don't think so this lady seemed to have a lot of faith in him Okay, his handler, but no, I'm not the person who picked him. I'm sure yes, but I'm talking about the other judges Or before the judge who got to who got who got to call like yeah, you can't come be cues coming I can't speak for that person, but but I will say what when I left The guy from the from the from the Grammy said to me. He goes I hope you come back next year

He goes this contest needs a little bit more of your energy in it Yes, that's a little let's of your energy in it. Whoa. That's a little less. That's almost as good as a blue chew. That's a shot in your. Well, we came in and like, I came in to just have fun. Like, I didn't realize how serious it was. It was never explained to me. So I just came in with my normal BQ fucking.

Let's have some fun with this bullshit. But it turned out to be the right attitude because I did take it seriously. I mean we listened to 60 performances. Yeah, it was two and a half hours, two nights in a row of different performances by 817 live or they send in live. No, they were on stage. Yeah, so you got to pick one out of 60. No, what they do is the first round. I think there was 17 guys the first round. No females. No females.

No females. Is that all in? Is that all in? Are there females allowed to enter? That's a good question. Probably not. Ooh, you might want to distance yourself now. Yeah, well, the guttons good.

Women only have one role in Elvis's world. I'm comfortable with being a part of that. It's okay. they're all prosciutto us man i gotta say though he uh... as far as the the judges were concerned now this will show you how many people are in that audience fifteen hundred uh... it was a thousand person uh... auditorium the first night it was eight hundred i think the second

night they sold out you know the second i look like it was eight hundred i think the second night they sold out yeah the second i look like it was packed so k-c-c-thousand people and they introduced the judges like you said the grammy guy and the music journalist it's like how much a plaza they gonna get the lady who was in the movie with elvis like she knew the guy you would think that she would get more applause than bq who's like i

listen to elvis not the, not the case at all. I mean, he's a lot more current than the lady who was in a movie with Elvis and from 1955. Well, also like when they put, you know, it's like the judges are all the way in the back. So they're facing everyone's back and they're facing the stage. And when they call their names, like a spotlight goes on them. So the first three people just wave, but

when it's Q's turn, he stands up and raises up his arms triumphantly as if he just won Elvis week. People loved it. And I guess that's what that guy was talking about, needing that kind of energy. You got to give them what they want, bro. Yeah, they wanted it. I have to ask you a question. How do you think of Elvis and Personator? How does he mentally deal with like having, like his whole career is based upon being somebody

else? It's got to be somewhat damaging to your psyche after a while, right? That you're you have to like evolve into being somebody else. Some people certainly take that tact. The winning the winning selection, the winner was a very controversial choice. I later found out because one, he's a New Yorker and two, he's a Broadway actor. So he already has, like he played the lead Yorker and two he's a Broadway actor so he already has like he played the lead in Limbs he played the Phantom in Phantom he's a professional musical theater guy and a lot of people I found that later did not like that why they they felt that it should be the guy you're talking about they felt it should be the guy who lives the life who like Sean Clush like the guy you're talking about, they felt it should be the guy who lives the life, who, like Sean Clush, like the guy who's like, loves Elvis, doesn't feel what you're talking

about. Like loves being so closely associated to the king and loves performing and keeping him alive in front of people. Some, according to the old ladies that we were in the elevator with who didn't realize that one of the judges was in the elevator with them It was not a good choice these fucking women will piss Well, and they're older ladies Yeah, they're all older ladies now older ladies are probably were like who worshiped Elvis and their teens Lot of women in their 60s. Yeah, they would have a they would have a little more More I don't know I don't't want to say, but they, you know, they

loved Elvis though. So they would have a bit more like dog in the fight to get to for their Elvis to win since they like, yeah, one dream about it. Nightwood Elvis. Too close to them. They've been unable to see it. Now I've only met one Elvis impersonator. Yeah Trip you are And I found him to be completely bat shit crazy Like like where I was like this this dude is definitely mentally unhinged the juice to come to the store Yeah, like where I was like this, this dude is definitely mentally unhinged. The juice to come to the store.

Yeah. Like, concocting bizarre elaborate lies that you could find out in a second. We were fake that he was going to be Uncle Jesse on fucking full house until his mother got sick and then he had to bow out and then they picked John Stamos instead of him. Didn't you find the, well, didn't you find old video and we were watching it, we can't tell if it's him or not. Right, yeah.

I tell you, I tell you talking about Rob Bruce, that's how you discuss it. No, no, no, no. Yeah, this dude was like crazy, crazy. And would just come in and just spin tails and then as soon as he leave I'd hop on the internet and see if he was telling me the truth and I can add every time I feel like this is not this person. He told me he was in a TV show that only aired for six episodes and he's like you can't find it anywhere. He said it's never been released but I found it on like a bootleg website called I

offered it doesn't even exist anymore and I ordered it on like a bootleg website called I offer that doesn't even exist anymore. And I ordered it just because I was like, I want to see if he's telling me the truth and it wasn't him. It was a different actor because it was like a naked gun kind of show where like about a TV precinct, like a bizarre characters and one of the cops they allowed to dress like Elvis all the time. And he said he was that character. He said he was that actor. And then when I fucking got the TV show, it wasn't him. Oh, wow. No, it seemed like everybody down there.

It was all stable. Dice, I mean, Brian, did you see any like real wacky? Like the guys were all super nice and every day. They're like, they're hyper. But they're gonna be nice to be in the job. They were nice to me. Oh, okay. Yeah, so that says a lot.

I mean, like, like, like, even when I wasn't with them, like, I would meet different Elvis impersonators. And like, hey, how you doing? Tribute artists. Yes, tribute artists. Very welcoming. Very welcoming, and I learned that there are no casual Elvis fans. You're either all in all the way, or you just don't.

You're just like not a weekend warrior Right not not at this place. Now what where where did we stay? It was the it was called the guest house Was that actually on Graceland property? It's on Graceland property They built a hotel. Yeah on the Graceland property. So what are the responsibilities of the winner throughout the year now like does he have like a Like a hectic schedule he has to keep now with Elvis uh... like a hectic schedule has to keep now with alvis date about hectic but he he's the official one that sent to appearances he's the one that appears a grace land concerts a grace land

uh... yes it is a lucrative win for ever when that when i was talking to them to the man who won at the end and and we were talking about broadway reopening and he he said he's like i'm busy for the next year anyway he's like this is a year long job so i, I mean, it starts off with a $20,000 check. So right off the back, you like fucking, yeah, yeah, they give you a little retina, you know, so they could they could call on you at any time. Now, were there different stages of Elvis impersonators or is it only, nope, you got to be thin, trim, super hot Elvis? No, there were there was a 19 year old kid who was in the contest for the first time and

he, he mainly did young like teenage Elvis. So, and everybody who's very impressed with them because all of the other contestants, there is copious amounts of, of film footage of Elvis in concert. So they knew how to, you know, act like him. This kid who was 19 years old, there was no footage. So he, I was talking to him about it. So he was like, I had to imagine what a 19 year old Elvis and how scared he would be and insecure he is. And he goes, and I had to incorporate that into my act. And when I was watching him, I saw it. Like he slumped his shoulders down. He pretended he was a little unsure of himself.

It was, it was, I'm telling you. But for people watching though, who didn't get to interview him, would they think that, would they realize that he was like doing a nervous Elvis? I think so, yeah. I think so, because Elvis is known like his early songs before he ever

But they like one of the things as you can always hear how nervous energy he had so he's kind of playing off that I never would have put that together. I would have just assumed he was nervous I'm saying it's like yeah, unless you interviewing the guy or he's talking about what he's going for before he steps on stage You would think that he was just being nervous. So there was no like puffy on his way out Elvis. Some uh, there was something that like that, right? They won't, they'll never win, right? Now you'll get the, it's mostly seven of these Elvis. It's mostly the jumpsuits.

The white jumpsuit. Yeah, but there's no like, you know, it made me think of it like he was wearing a cape. It made me think you and uh, because you always say you like that little cape. Oh, I love that little cape, though. You know, he got that from you? What is that?

He was a big Captain Marvel fan and Captain Marvel. Oh, yeah. Captain Marvel Jr. wore a little half cape and he was like, I'm gonna wear a half cape. I think you've told me that in the past, yeah. It was something. And I will say there's a lot of beautiful women down in Memphis Man, you know, like holy crap and then the Elvis the Elvis tribute artists seem to

Got a lot of them like he's seen the women that these guys are with because you would think like Elvis guy Like he's kind of like corny and shitties like super into Elvis, but the women these guys get man Crazy is it yeah crazy and shitties like super into Elvis, but the women these guys get, man. Well, I think that is crazy. Is it? Yeah, crazy. But again, is it all just like this giant delusional fever dream where like the women are like, I'm with Elvis and the guys like, I'm Elvis.

That all works out there. I mean, whatever gets you through the fucking day, man. But you know, it's our point. Do you ever just walked like your while you glance over and you see your reflection. You're like, I'm not Elvis and I'm not with Elvis and I'm not sleeping with Elvis and this guy. I don't know myself for 15 years at this fucking asshole. He's an impersonator. I mean, these women were so good looking wall that I was like, can I grow a popetore? I asked it to a thing. It was like, it was like unnerving. Like glamorous, I think is the word. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The first night we were there, like I said, we stayed up real late watching Daisy of love. And so we go to bed in at like 4.30 in the morning, all of a sudden here like, whaaat, whaaat, the fucking fire alarm goes off. And his room was across from my sound, like banging on his door. He's like, whoa, what's going on? What's going on?

We go downstairs and fucking 4.30 in the morning, we have to stand outside. And for the record, I wouldn't have left. I opened my door. I saw there was no smoke in the hallway I was like I'm just gonna put a pillow over the alarm and go back to bed. Yeah really? Firemen. That's not good uh advice for people? No I know I I wouldn't say do but I'm trained I know there was no fire. You're outside for an hour. You look, you look, how many stories was your hotel?

Five. It was five, right? Okay, so you look up and down one hall of a five story hotel, you're like, nah, there's no fire. And we're on the fifth floor, by the way. You know what's going down on the floors underneath, yeah? I know exactly what's going down on the floors below. I know everything that's going on.

I, one glance, I'm, because I've been in the hotel that was on fire. With the alarm went off and I opened the door and I looked up and I was like, oh shit, we actually got a fire here. I'm telling you, I, I, I, I, it's, smoke rises, bro. That chick just comes right up, right up. Oh, okay, but it was on the rooftop. Root top, they would still would,

it would still would have banked down and stuff like that. We were on the fifth floor, I would have saw something. But whatever, look man,. Hey safety first. I left I got out But everybody left and the the 80-year-old woman who was Cynthia Pepper who was in the Who was in the movie with Elvis, you know, she was the other child 80 81 81 81 She looks by the way 60 taps. She looks 60 and she's real like she's one of those fun old ladies.

You know, I mean she made out what else. I mean, you know, what does she have to be anything but fun with? Right. Yeah. How long can that carry? Apparently to 81 at least. At least. But when she was when she was outside in a waiting to see this,

but I guess you know It's fucking pitch black out there and everybody's walking around because I think there's a fire And I guess she but she stumbled over something and felt flat on her face like fucked up her cheek fucked up under her eye Fuck it a black eye split lip. Oh man The exact sort of thing that would have put me on a plane home Exactly I would have been like I can't fucking judge a contest, I'm all jacked up, my head hurts. She was like, she's like, now I'm in pain, but I'm still good. Wow. Yeah, she toughs it out. She toughs it out. That's it is impressive. There was also the music journalist wife when we were sitting

in the back room, like there's a, I don't know about, we want to tell this story. Oh, no. I guess if we don't name him, but I mean, I don't know. People could look it up. Well, oh, I'm talking about his wife, what she said. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Well, like the guy comes in and she's, and he is wife and other one of these glamorous type women. And almost immediately, she was like, oh, yeah, we met here.

Da, da, da, da, da. We had anal sex on the first day. We did anal on the first day. Those da da da. We had anal sex on the first day. We did anal on the first day. Those are her exact words. We did anal on the first day. Whoa, whoa, whoa. She told me this, too. Us.

Us. No reason? No reason. I was shocked. I think she was like trying, she was like, she was a fun, I think she was trying to like get in the room and shit. Yeah, yeah.

She's so nice reaction. That's awesome. We were cracking up. But'm gonna get a rise reaction. All right, that's awesome. Yeah, we're cracking up. But she mentioned it two more times. And he didn't like it. He kept like, he kept like... He was a little buttoned down. Yeah.

Yeah. Not buttoned down enough to fucking not have anal sex in the first date. I got it. I mean, that's what she's claiming. I would call that buttoned down at all. And then she goes, no, he is. Yeah, but I'm sorry, but it wasn't like, it wasn't like, it was like, oh no, like a button down guy would be like,

this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, it's normal. This is irregular. Yeah, I guess you're right. They were both freaks. But again, another beautiful, I mean, she was, she was fucking, huh? You know, she was beautiful., you know, she was beautiful

So you know she was fun, you know, oh she was great So you could see why a guy on a first date would like you know go all in I Feel like I wouldn't marry a girl though Why that anal in the first day it's just like maybe I'm too buttoned out It seems weird. It's just seem very weird to me. It does make you think, like, well, if this, the first, not even 12 hours of meeting me, that this is what you're willing to do, what? What have you put up to? What have you put up to?

What have you put up to? Before you met me then. You're in the early 40s. God knows what it is. I think you guys are a little too buttoned up, man. Yeah, we might be. Oh, I've never claimed it, but too buttoned up man. Yeah, we might be. Oh, I've never claimed it anything but be buttoned up. Yeah, I mean, I'm buttoned all the way to the top. Yeah, there's next page. No way, man.

I'm just peeking out one of the eye holes. You can't even see my face. Yeah, I look at anything that she's done with someone else I'm not going to be happy with so it's not you know. Yeah, that's true. But your mind's going to go to much more darker places after your first date though. Sure, but at the same time I'll also be having anal sex. Yeah, this is a nice trade-off. You know, you've got to make these trade-offs. You can take your woman being a total slob. Oh That's not accurate come on

Are you okay though if you're that guy and she in the first and total stranger she's telling within two seconds of meeting them? Well, I think there was a little bit of the fact that we were backstage We were the judges as hey, it's cute was a little bit of the fact that we were backstage. We were the judges as hey It's cute from a practical jokeers. I think she was just like having fun like we were all joking around and just I Don't think in polite company. She would have just brought that up She brought it up so quickly. It was so quickly It was only me and you in the room Cynthia Pepper was now clutching a pearls. I know where to be seen

Now I've had a couple celebrities of my day like you know going back when a young Walt Flanagan has met some pretty impressionable celebrities Yeah Made Ben Affleck for a young in my life Who else did I meet I don't know from being around with Kevin, but Yeah, it would take me a lot longer than than the first two minutes to reveal something that intimate though to one of them now that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that If you see Matt tell him, don't forget.

Now, these E85, we were not allowed to talk about them for the longest time. These are the noise canceling ones. How come?

I don't know. I guess they were just going to, they wanted to roll about them for the longest time and these are the noise canceling ones. How come I don't know I guess I guess yeah, they were just gonna they wanted to roll them out at a certain time So I mean, but we've had them for months. I don't know what their their Their procrastination was but probably didn't want any of our enemies to get any kind of knowledge that they had this type of This kind of technology that was coming down the pike pike.

Oh, it's supposed to be your ears. It's like, how hard are you jamming them in there because it could be? I don't know, I just worry about it

because they're falling out so easily now or before they're nice and tight. And I really had visions of like, you know, like I was working it out so much. My whole that it was getting all loose. Like, I can't say for sure that's not the case, but I guess it's the rubber. Walt's got caped ears.

Um, do you guys uh I know you must have seen suicideicide Squad. Oh, yeah. Did you go to the movies, too? Yeah. I loved it. I have to issue an apology for my sarcastic tone when I said to Sal, like, yeah, we can't wait for Staro, right? Because I watched and Staro was pretty cool. Oh, whole movie was fucking so fun.

I didn't want it to end. Like I just could watch, I could watch a 24 hour movie about the Suicide Squad with those actors, that actors that writing that special it was just perfect. Yeah, it was great. I watched it twice already, man. Maybe even twice and a half it I mean. I couldn't even if you asked me to point to a misplay in the movie I couldn't even really do it. I mean even Harley Quinn like that fight scene in the hallway with her. I like holy was she had the spear yeah, I was like fuck man like they they they although we We like birds of prey like we watched it. We're like oh this is better than we thought it would be but yeah, suicide's god Starrow man when he lifts his arm and those fucking little many ones come out. It's unbelievable. I loved it with Harley Quinn you're let you feel like Like different people have played bat Like different people have played Batman different people have played Joker, but it's hard to imagine anyone else playing Harley, right? Like it just does it so well

There's going to be other people who play Harley. Well, when she ages out. Yeah, I think I don't know I don't think the movie did all that well though, right from when I've seen some reports that it's not well though right from when I've seen some reports that it's not what they were hoping was going to happen and I mean how many more Harley movies can she be in that don't perform well though. Yeah especially when that Harley Quinn show is on the air and it's so good and like that version of Harley is becoming so beloved. And it's certainly not her fault and I mean I'm not saying that at all but I, but I don't know why it's not equating to box office success, though, anything that she's in it really doesn't seem to move than the box office needle.

I don't know, man. I tell you what, though, maybe if they kept her in that outfit from the first movie that everybody fucking railed against so much, more people would have been into it. I don't know, because that was a great costume in the first you know the first suicide squad. And how like all the characters that I mean there weren't many who who were in the first movie who came back for the second movie. Like Rick Flagg was so fucking good in that and like he was forgettable in the first one though. Yeah they figured out a way. It seems

gunman, the guy fucking he knows what he's doing. The guy knows how to make a good movie, right? Sure does. They tried to cancel him. He came fighting back. They tried. They tried. It's good. He's the he's the one example that you could point to. If you've been canceled, there's hope because you can come back Yeah, you know, I don't know like all the people who have been canceled are sitting on the sidelines. I'm open and shit Well, they're like well, I'm not fucking James gun I'm just some asshole who made a joke 20 years ago Or I don't know maybe Roseanne. Maybe you know she she she's bigger than James gun, you know, so maybe at some point

Maybe though she finds her way back. After the, what was it again? Oh, it was something about it, making comments. Plenty of aches, comment. Yeah, yeah. What the fuck? They said a quiet place, part two made 48 million.

Fessafiris nine made 70, black widow made 80, so they thought it was on its way to make a couple bucks, but it only made 26.5 million. Do you think that's because of the other suicide spot where we've been? I have to think it has a big factor. I remember when you were talking about it with Sal, I was like, I cannot believe they're just calling it the same title though. It feels like a big misstep on their part to not have a subtitle or something about this movie to make sure people realize because I don't know how you cannot realize I mean but I guess there's a certain part of the population that just doesn't have their

pulse on comic book movies would be like I saw it already white with the big deal it's sucked. It says the original suicide squad made 746 million globally globally Disad despite terrible reviews that it's almost a fucking billion Yeah, for a piece of shit and I would argue that a lot of that had to do with Harley Quinn like it first movie I think so but I don't know like do you Yeah, maybe calling it something other than the exact same title as the fucking movie that everybody dislikes from four years ago wasn't the best idea, I guess. But to me, it was also like, it was for free on HBO Max. I didn't watch it in theaters. I watched it at home.

Yeah, I know. That has to have an impact on your ticket sales, I would imagine. For sure, I watched in with three other people. If the four of us had gone to a movie theater, you know what I mean? Like, why am I going to go? I just don't understand why I would go to a movie theater if I could watch it. I did want to see Starer and I max. I kind of do want to see that like him towering over you like that big and shit like that. But at the same time, I could just stay home and like, you know, wear a robe and watch it. I feel what like gun did that was while it wasn't a true representation of the of the comic book

I loved in the 80s, he at least was cognizant of it and even went you know did little things to Make big guys like me who were into that comic book be like oh shit I know you're out there and like he did little things like Easter eggs To you know that I really appreciate like they put the John Ostranger the guy who wrote that comic book. He was the doctor that shot The little thing and new to the He was the doctor that shot the little thing into the back of your neck, the little bomb. Oh, the actual writer? Yeah, they got who shot the, he played the doctor.

And Rick Flag is wearing a yellow shirt with those black pants. And that's all that Rick Flag war for like 100 issues in a row was a yellow shirt. And so like it was like a nice little nod to the comic book character from the 80s that he had that yellow shirt on. Yeah, it was also the first movie poster that I can't believe this hasn't been done yet so far, but it was the first movie poster

where on the bottom it said by the DC comic, like the poster acknowledged. Oh shit, I didn't even know. And they haven't been doing that in all these years. it said by the DC comic, like the poster acknowledged. Oh, shit. I didn't even know. And they haven't been doing that in all these years. Nobody's been being like, go read DC comics here and they're selling that or download digitally on the app.

So you get the feeling that gun, you know, it's kind of a legit comic fan. He's like real deal into it. Yeah, hopefully, you know, DC doesn't look at just a box office and realize that like, you know, let this guy fucking have control because of what the people you have been given can total creative control to or the keys to the mapping out the DC universe. It hasn't worked so far for movie wise. I think I could do it. The piecemaker series is coming

soon. He made a TV series with John. It's already shot. Okay, well, and it's definitely gonna happen. I wondered if though the lukewarm reception might make that announcement, you know, maybe they'll maybe it not happen now. Now they're there to shot it. Here's the thing, my thing is like I watch jungle crews um, and that's you know, of course the rock and I Can't believe I'm saying this but we live in a world where John Cena is running fucking rings around the rock in terms of acting Comedy like like charisma like it's I If you told me that two years ago, I would have been like get the fuck out of my face

John Cena is not gonna be the guy that fucking breaks as, but he's doing the shit. And then you watch Jungle Cruise, and you know, it's Jungle Cruise, I was like, I don't watch this, this is fine, it's fun, it's, it is what it is, but it wasn't like Suicide Squad where I was like, this is fucking awesome. And everything seen it doesn't, it is fucking great.

He's so good and he commits to being a prick so hard in that movie That you're like I just don't see the rock doing this. I he's gonna keep doing these safe Fucking you know, I'll make a billion dollar movies and I don't think it's But do you see can you see the peacemaker being the focal point and the the the star? Like or does he work best when he's playing off? and the the the star or does he work best when he's playing off somebody else? I can't wait. You know, and not being the being a supporting character, not the star of a

of a television series. I got to assume guns going to be smart enough to create that dynamic within the series where he's still kind of like an outside of prick to people. Uh, you know, I'm not a bizarre. What a bizarre thing for your first, I guess, I was happy with that be the first like DC, I guess not, I guess you all that CW stuff would be, but I think it's bizarre that we're having a peacemaker television series character that nobody has any idea about less unless you're like a

true, like anal fun comic book man. First date anal comedy. Well, you know, he remember they put out those books a few years back, League of Regrettable Heroes and League of Regrettable superheroes, but there were just books you can buy it like, and it was just the lamest superheroes. He's makers in that. So he was already like torn down years ago as useless. So it's great to see.

I mean, he made that fucking helmet work. That was awesome. It looks so good. Like the thing is though, probably, you know, now we see Infinity Gauntlet mock-ups, what, not mock-up, that's what they call it. Like, you know, you could buy your own Infinity Gaunt go out like a $500 or one that looks just like the one in the movie. And we have helmets of Boba Fett,

but I really, really doubt that we're gonna see a peacemaker helmet, you know, that you could buy in Target or something. Right. Maybe, but I guarantee you'll see a bunch of homemade ones at Comic Con. That's true. Yeah.

Whoever doesn't want spoilers, tune out for the next 10 seconds. I Was the only part part that disappointed me was when in the very beginning when weasel drowned. I was like that's so dark and fucked up It's amazing but then when they brought them back I was like shit really you didn't like him come back I liked him coming back. I thought I was like it was like they just left it and I was like it's so fucking crazy just left it and I was like, it's so fucking crazy. That was character and just drowning. I just liked that he just like all googly eyed and just wakes up and just runs away. I just thought that was the ultimate joke though, like at the end. I really enjoyed that he came back to life though. And I actually thought it was a historical too.

Because to me, it wasn't him. You're saying him drowning is dark. For me, hearing them like go with like his crime was murdering children. Oh right. That's true. Is that gonna set his crime with anything? But murdering children. I mean, with the implication is that he ate the kids, right?

That's what you're saying. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. But that's why James Gunn's fucking gonna what he does. Yeah. Like you gotta wonder if anybody at DC was like, ah, you're gonna make him, because that's the fucking genius of it,

because you're playing with villains. So like really, who at DC is gonna be like, well, we can't make him that much of a villain. Like it's about villains. That's weird, because that's why James gunned one of the reasons he got canceled was he was tweeting like these really dark jokes about murdering and molesting children and shit.

Where I am. I didn't, I knew a little bit, well how I got canceled, I knew it was about offensive comments posted online or something like that, but I wasn't sure of the exact comments that were the result of the cancellation

or the almost cancellation. So basically, he was like Marvel was just like, no, you're not on Guardians of the Galaxy and like two seconds later, DC was like, we'll come make suicide, it's quite right. It was the quickest cancellation of all time, possibly. I was at, he's at the same agency as we're at I was at the agency the day after all that went down after he got fired off Guardians of the galaxy and I was in a conversation with his agent and Like 24 hours later. He was like, yeah, he's gonna be all right. It was like

They were already like he's gonna be fine Yeah, it says here. It was was tweets about rape and pedophilia. Yeah. Oh my god. All right, let me read one thing.

we we told you that we were away. Did I tell you that I was losing at that game left right center? Don't know what you're talking about. We never talked about that. I thought we talked about left right center. Yeah, it's a game when we were down in Key West. We were playing. Oh yeah, yeah, and you got me. Could you lost money? I lost a not- I don't care about the money. 11 and a row. 11 and a row is what I cared about. And then my brother Eric came to town. So I got like it was like me, Eric, Mary Beth, my nephew and and Sage, we all played and I fucking won. I finally won. I just want everyone to know I finally won. But you're not playing it. I immediately lost again. But you're not playing against skilled competition though. Well, there's no skill. I thought, well, I...

There is an element of luck to the game. Yeah, that's what I said. I thought this isn't like... This isn't like poker, anything? No. It is an element of luck to the game. Yeah, that's what he said. I thought this isn't like poker rating? No, it's literally roll the dice and just hope. Oh, okay. But yeah, but like, there's guys that can... You don't want to roll dice against, right? There are guys you don't want to roll dice against. There's some...

Black guys, black guys are real good at rolling dice. I noticed that we used to play poker and then those we would go out and roll dice out in the street. They were always winning, man. I'm just talking about high rollers You know you're gonna lose against a high roller guys who know how to roll dice I know how you know, but they just got it. They got the it It was curious like I did think maybe Q loaded the dice. There was something to it. Oh, you thought that a boy pro I wanted to ask you this I

Know the answer and but has this ever happened to you. I was I I Went to a pizza parlor the one I normally go to and I have a jug up on the up on the counter where you could put tips in it's a clear jug and they were particularly nice to me the other day. And I was like, I was in my way out. I was like, I'm going to drop a buck in the tip jar. And I thought I only had singles in my pocket. I thought I only have singles. So whatever I pull out, I'm going to drop in is going to be a single. And there's a 20. When I hit the bottom of the thing, I could see the in is gonna be a single. And there's a 20.

Ooh, when I hit the bottom of the thing, I could see the zero and I looked at it, I made it stop and I saw it was two zero. I had a $20 bill in my pocket. And the guy turned around and goes, thanks buddy. Not saying that it was a 20. No, he didn't even tell it was a 20. Right.

Just though I put my hand back and be like, I actually put the wrong amount in there. I'm gonna put more, I'm gonna put something in there, but I'm not not what I'm gonna do. I would have 100% would have reached my hand right in that tip, Joe. I would have taken extra money along with it. I would have taken extra money along with it.

And then replace it. I wouldn't have even felt embarrassed. I wouldn't have even felt embarrassed. I would have been like, oh, I said, I would have, I would have been a joke. I would have been like, I put a 20, you guys aren't that good. And then maybe I would have been like, oh, I said, I would have been, I would have been a joke. I'd have been like, I put a 20, you guys aren't that good. And then maybe I would have put like a five in, just to show that I'm a sport,

but there's no way I'm walking out of there with a $20 in that tip jar for a fucking pizza slice. No way. Well, so I'm sitting there, the realization of what just happened and my, you know, I'm kind of like frozen in time right there is everything You know like everybody else is just frozen and I can hear him talking and but I'm not even listening because I'm like like how do I How do I grace this? How do I gracefully say you know what I put the wrong amount of money in there and then yeah, and then he goes

I mean, I'll see you tomorrow money in there and then he goes, man, I'll see you tomorrow. And I look at him and I said, all right, man, see you tomorrow. And I just I walked out and just left a 20 in here. That sucks because you lost a 20 and you didn't even get credit for given the 20. So it's a fucking lose, lose. What do you mean? No, I'll definitely. It was the only, it was the only dollar bill in there. So yeah, but they don't look.

Yeah, he's been at three other people drop a dollar and then suddenly a one of four. So maybe next time I go in, I should have been like, how'd you like that? 20, huh? Or look, I gave it a lot of thought in the other day accidently dropped to 20. I was just wondering if I could get some of it back.

Or I could be like, you know, I don't know if you notice I put a 20 near another day So that's that's probably the next month's worth of tips just so you know when I walk out Okay, don't expect anything else in there Should I just just let it go I just you know just chalk it up to like make sure you're pay attention to what you're doing when you're Dropping money in I think that's more of the awesome here. I think you had a brief window to correct this situation and you let it close so you just got to live with it now. Yeah, I froze man. It was like one of those moments like what are you going to do when the like when the shit hits the fan?

I fucking froze. Like a searing the headlights. It's like's say, let's say I want to give a dollar to, I'll reach into the tip jar and make change for myself. Like a Starbucks or something, like let's say there's the thing. You do not have any fucking authority to stick your hand in there. Oh, yes, I do. No way. I'm gonna give him two dollars. But you shouldn't be, that's just leading,

that's just setting yourself up for disaster, though, for someone to be like you. Like, you stealing money. Yes. The accusations flop. Yeah, that is really, you're playing with fire, like you're sticking your hand in their tip jar. So far so good. Yeah, but you could be, you don't know if you're skilled with your hands and you could be like pocketing money as you take out. Oh, yeah, this is a shimsham man.

You're like a magician. Well, that's true. Yeah, like I fold it and I mean, I don't know, I mean, they don't know your handshake like a fucking like a like a like a tree limb and wind. So look on nervousness, you're stealing our money. Hey guys, I'm just leaving the tip. He's dishonest and weak. You think you're mandrake to magician? They'll never know. Watch as I make your tics disappear. Abra, Kabebra. Like put it back.

Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I got tears coming out of my eyes.
