Tell Em Steve-Dave - #528: Koi-tastrophe

Episode Date: September 8, 2022

Walt brings some banter topics, dungarees, Bry's pool gives him trouble.

I thought I knew a pussy. Yeah. So I was wearing jeans the other day for a special occasion. And... We're gonna have to cut that. Really? Hellem Steve Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tellem Steve Dave. It's me, Brian, and I'm here with Walt. Hello.

And we're not here with you. But don't tune out. We're not here with Gidem either. I know, it's gonna ask how you're stanking. I know. Would you like to ask how you're stanking? That's a... Is Walt? Yeah.

How you stanking Walt? Pretty damn good, not a year here. Yeah, grind your shell. Grind the shell up from shells behind the fake counter of a very popular Patreon show. Yeah. Maybe the most popular, right? It is absolutely the one show that everybody is like, I am subscribed solely for Hunky Brian's shell.

They are there and they ain't going nowhere. Not chunky brain. Oh, I love it. Thank you, Walter and Brian. And in honor of September being a Tailser Behind the Fake Counter month on the Patreon, where every week is an episode of Tailser Behind the Fake Counter. Incredible.

We brought you in today just to like a little promo, a little like that's how the big wigs do it. Like a media blitz. That's how we do it. Your time is perfect. You know, planned like a season network executives. You know, right before the big event, you don't want to start too far out. This is the fall, you know, and remember in the fall, how the cartoons would be on, the

premiere of the cartoons, right before school started. Yeah. You were growing up. This is our version of that where you're coming in, get everybody excited, amped up. If they aren't on the Patreon now, they can go there and join up and it's hard. Patreon.com slash Tellum Steve Dave.

It's literally in a fucking Netflix of TSD content. There's so much content on here now. There's because it's yours worth. It's built up now where it's a fucking gigantic library. It's closely in a sephorchent though. It's a fortune though. It really is the like the the most thing thing about all these videos and content. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. We don't give a fuck. No. Fans first. We're here for the people. That's right. Well, you know, I mean, what can I say? I was honored and humbled to be invited to do tales from behind the fake counter in the first place.

And now we're getting, you you know a month of it for episodes it's a dream come true and uh... and out of to be to be sitting with you fellows on on the original tesney show it's just uh... i mean i'm pitching myself where do you go from here nowhere to go to a bridge and i jump off and don't driscoll on the way home, fuck it. Thank you. And we're kicking off this month of September, which is also the Tales Around the Fate counter month, with probably the most highly anticipated episode ever on the

Patreon. You know, the TSD town is up buzz with what's going to happen with the cast and well I'm just gonna say you got a tune in mostly the cast Much how much to people know at this point they know nothing they know nothing so But there's a lot of speculation a lot of rumors flying around out there about you know big shake up at the table But you can either confirm nor deny. You had to pay your five bucks. That's it. That's it.

That's so sweet. That's all it costs to get all the mysteries of the universe answer. A five semolias. All right, well, it's good. Listen, I had a little preview of the first episode. The one that's dropped in Tuesday. Yep. And I was belly laughing.

Yeah. It's good stuff. Yeah. Because I forgot what we talked about, so I'm watching it again. It's like, you know, it's, if I'm sitting there smiling while I'm watching it, I already lived through it once. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good then.

Yeah. Yeah, there's, when we do the shows, I want one, you know, we have to review the episode of the show. Same thing, I'm like, certain, certain shit I'm like, I've absolutely zero recollection of this happening. And then other stuff, it's like, you remember it so favorably. And you're like, oh my god, that was like, that was it. What a fun time. And then when you get to go over it again with other people who are like,

who remind you about shit that you even forgot about within that. It's pretty fun. And one of the great things about the show is, of course, that you're involved. And I think it's for me, one of the fun things is, now you get to weigh in on the banters and all the conversations. You get to give your opinion of what you would have said, like if you were behind the fake counter, instead of behind the camera, which I think is a very neat aspect. And I thought today, before this episode ends, we would do like a little peak for those

who don't have the patron or what the episode is like. I found five banters that I never turned in on my old iPad. Really? Yes. Some of them, I would have been embarrassed to bring it into, like, throw out there, like, how about this? Because they're kind of like, you know, they're some of our crew, some are just stupid. You're even sitting on gold this whole time.

Well, you guys got turned into gold. Okay. Yeah. So in case you're wondering who Brian Nischel is. You know, they say everybody's, every episode of something's first episode. Brian Nischel is, he was the showrunner and director of comic book man back in the day.

And what we're talking about is a show called, we tell behind the fake counter that we do on Patreon. And Nischel is one of the few guys that I stay in contact with from the show. And like I like people. I like everybody on that crew. But you know, it's after years you naturally just like drift apart and shift. And Michelle is the one guy that I've stayed in contact with pretty great consistently. Yeah, I still talk to Tom a lot. Yeah, mom too. Yeah.

But yeah, the other guys were all great. I mean, all the guys were great. But yeah, the one, the, the one constant and the one where, uh, you know, we stay in close contact would be, being, yeah. And the show's, the show's my guy, when I'm like, I read something in the, in the post that I'm like, I can't believe the shit. I got, I got a text on the link. I think do you believe this, man?

Yeah, we do, we do rant to each other. That's nice. I can't believe this shit. I gotta text him the link. I think you believe this man. Yeah, we do rent. We do each other. That's nice. But it's funny when you do TV shows, you become sort of like family, the longer it goes on, the more season you get, the closer everybody gets.

But after a while, you learn that once it's over, everybody disperses. When you're in it, everyone's like, oh my God, we're best friends and everyone's going out and drinking and hanging out and pouring their hearts out to each other. There's just hugs at the end of a tough shoot or something. And then you see that at disperses, you know,

and a lot of the younger people are often heartbroken. You see them later as like, you ain't no one from the show ever calls me anymore. Like, that's the way it goes. But you know, it's that because I guess you just, you get caught up in your, your next gig and it's like school. You're, you're, you're entered, you went to this microcosm for a determined amount of time. And then you go off your separate ways. It's like how many people sigh for me from high school.

They still talk to you. Yeah. not many. I don't know, I can't name one, I don't think. Yeah. Yeah, so when you have a common, it's almost like when you have a common enemy, right? And the enemy, and it's not, I don't mean it in a bad way, but the enemy in that case is, you know, the show,

because there's a lot of challenges when you're doing a show. So you're almost like, you know, in a fox hole together. This, you know, common program was a little different because it was like 99% of the time was a joy to produce, but most shows are pain in the ass, the networks on your ass all the time, the talents assholes. It's tribal. It is. So, so you get together and you all like are, you know, holding tight to each other to get through the production. So you come away a lot of the time feeling close, but then when that goes away, you don't have that common enemy anymore.

And everybody just goes on to the next challenge to attack with another team. You have to make an effort to stay in touch. And like, I enjoyed my time on Common Book Men so much that I was so crushed when I got the news that we weren't coming back and it wasn't even like consciously I said oh I better keep up my relationship with these guys. It was just you guys got so Into my head and into my DNA that I would wake up on a Saturday be like I would drive down the visit you I got paid extra for that Everyone doing that would drive down the visit you got paid extra for that

It was a metaphor yes so much so that I I asked Ming to stop by today Oh nice, but he he was out of con he couldn't make it But he you know, I thought it'll be nice to try to recreate a An episode of tales behind the fake counter you know, for a TSD episode. I'm all by didn't give way too much right there. People can speculate, they can continue. Well, this will come out Monday. Today's Saturday, we're doing this Saturday. This will come out Monday.

It's going out Monday. Yeah, okay. And then Tuesday. Is the, the, the, the big drop. They most anticipated episode ever in the history of the Tom Steve Day Patreon. It's gonna break the internet. I am predicting it right now that Bill Gates is gonna have to repair the internet. He's gonna be like, what the fuck broke it? You won't believe this, sir. Yeah, this is people who

wanted to know about some guy. It was about some show that was covering AMC show that was canceled over a decade ago But you put it that way sounds kind of pathetic They're hanging on so desperately they won't let go. I mean we'll get in the past man That's all we do van living the past right? Oh, it's so much better than the president. Oh, you're shit. Yeah, those were some of those, those, I mean, there was a certain person who ruined a lot of it for me, like some of the time that we spent, but like when

she wasn't around and it was just us, it was fucking great. Yeah, it was really fun. It's like some of the some of the nicest people and some of the best times that I've had personally, like going down to Ocean Grove and hanging out. Oh yeah. Oh. Being a Jewish guy, did you read the Ocean Grove news that they made a doc in the shape of a cross? We talked about it last week. No. Yeah. I thought you were my boycott Ocean Grove after this. I guess they had plans to build the dock after Sandy and it went on years and years and years and years and they finally got a plan for it like three years ago

And they just recently built it like in this past June or July and There are certain people who are freaking out because it's in the shape like it goes out And then there's like you know to arms that reach it's in the shape of a cross. Yeah, and some out and then there's like, you know, two arms that reach its in the shape of a cross. Yeah. And some Jewish people don't like it. So real GBTQ people don't like it. Some non-religious people don't like it. Keep Doc Secular is what they're saying. Oh really?

Yeah. Listen, if I had to weigh in on this right now, I'm all for it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm all for it. It's a doc. It's a doc. The shape of like, you know, one horizontal line and then, you know, a vertical line intersecting, you know, not in the middle.

Shockingly, really doesn't play a factor into your life that you would ever feel the need to ever comment on it, right? No, never. I would, first of all, I wouldn't even have seen a cross in it. I'd be like, oh, it's a dark and then it's got a's got a little cross while let's say you were in a helicopter flying above it Then you'd be like holy shit. Yeah, is that a tell me that's not a I mean listen There were events like the Spanish Inquisition and so I understand that but you know ocean Grove

Which I'm very fond of Was nicknamed God Square Mile. I know that, but Ocean Grove, which I'm very fond of, was nicknamed God Square Mile. Oh, you know that. Oh, yeah, that's what the locals called it for a long time. I guess, you know, totaled about a square mile around, and it was called God Square Mile, and it was settled by a religious group, and there's a giant church at the center of it and Sundays you can't go on the beach before noon and there's a little pavilion where there's often church choir singing where there's often ministers preaching and I always thought it was nice. Quaint, right? Quaint and nice. I throw back to a day's gone by.

Again, enjoy the past. I would never look at it and say, oh, this is a clan rally. What are these people doing? They're, I don't know if anybody said that though. Well, I mean, several times, if that were a great place. What I'm gonna say is true, why is it the one open arms? Why are you surprised? I know people need something to be up in arms about.

I mean, it's just the way it is. If you're, some people, if they don't have something to be up in arms about, they just don't know what to do it themselves. You know why? Because their lives are empty. Well, I think we're living in times where all of our basic needs are so taken for granted, everything we need to survive in the world and thrive in the world is out our fingertips. So when you could essentially have kind of a problem free life, you start inventing problems like the docs in the shape of a cross. I'm, you know, that's fucking very why. Quinn would have never said that. I'm not gonna say that. I'm not gonna

come out and say that, but Quinn, he's got a fucking, he's not gonna bring his A game next week. Yeah, he does. Bring you some sort of like knowledge drop like that. Yeah, that's all takes. bring some sort of like knowledge drop like that. Yeah, that's all it takes. It takes right here. It's homogeneous. You mentioned something earlier about a reality show. I think I was thinking the same thing today. I'm like there has to be a reality show in somebody

who buys a house, who's as unhandy as the top. It'll equip to deal with that house. That's a great show title. It'll equip. Yeah. that house. Yes. That's a great show title, ill-equipped. Yeah. Ooh, got it. Nobody steal that. Yeah, and it could be guys like me who are totally ill-equipped to go into a situation

with a house where- He's got to rewire all the electric electricity in his house. Guys, I shit you not, I love this. I swear to God, I get pitched shit all the electric electricity in his house. Guys, I shit you not, I love this. I swear to God, I get pitched shit all the time. I love this. What happens a lot at the time is I go, I love this and then someone goes, yeah, it's in like season-

Season-Dine and Amazon Prime. I don't know what's going on. We'll have to talk about this, I've given away too much already. Really? Yeah, I like this. Well, it's documented here, so if anybody steals it, don't.

They're busted. Yeah. There are the other thing I was thinking, I'm like, if I could go back in time, right? I get in a time machine and I go back to like, we graduate high school. I think what I would do is whenever a major decision came up, I would go to Walter B. Like, what should I do?

Because he's always right. Oh my gosh. Almost always right. No, I was in my... And because I'm playing in those lips and kissing all over. Wrestling with this pool. Oh, but I can't fucking deal with it.

Do you have a pool? No, I do not have a pool. We move in. The pool is great. It's crystal clear. It's what you want your pool to look like Within a week. There's something called mustard algae in it. Mm-hmm. Well, that's not good. Oh, no, it reminds me mustard gas Yeah, yeah, like poison is pretty bad right?

Or the past we don't like Well, it depends on who's dropping those mustard bombs true If it's the great old us ofS. of A, fuck whoever's underneath you. You were sick. The problem with it is, you know, wind. So eventually it kind of comes around. We should have thought that through. The variables, wind, didn't think it through.

Okay. So mustard algae. So first I'm like, why is this pool so cloudy? I have to bring your your water sample down to the pool place and They're like, all right, you need this shit to shock the chlorine and you need this phosphate thing to reduce it So that's what I do. I go back. She's like, all right. You got the chemicals perfect And I'm like, why is it still cloudy? And she's like, well, just run the main pump and it should be okay for a while. In the meantime, my niece and Mary Beth were messing around

with the heater and they smelled gas. So I'm like, all right, well, now I got to call them to come and check it out. It turned out that it was just like the initial like when you first turned on, there's like, I guess a little gas. Okay, so you had somebody come out and take a look, right? Yeah.

What did they say about the mustard algae? He was one who told me about it. Because he's like, I guess a little guess. Okay, so you had somebody come out and take a look, right? Yeah. What did they say about the mustard algae? He was one who told me about it. Because he was like, I'm going to get a bastard. I checked for the gas company came out and told you about it. No, no, no, this is the pool company that came. Oh, you didn't call the gas company? No. Okay.

No, because I think you would call the... I didn't smell it though. I just... Like, hey, you know, you want a pizza? I'm going to call a plumber. Yeah. I guess so. I mean, it's usually the gas guy who come out for free.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, he told me very little about it. He was like, yeah, sometimes it's just like when you first turn it on, you know, you get that initial smell of gas, but your flames look good. It might have been burning up a cowboy or something, now give me $185. Yeah, it wasn't cheap,

but he did hit me to this. I said, why is it still cloudy after all this time? I ran the main pump and everything is like, oh, you got mustard algae. You need something called slime away. So now I gotta go get this slime away shit. And nothing is like, oh wow, it's only $3. Oh no, everything's fucking super-

Well, the industry only lasts for a few months, they have to make sure that they get it all their All their money and that three months to sustain them through the long cold Winters where they're fucking don't give a fuck about pools right they're all covered up Yeah, and then the pool guy is the most forgotten person on the face of the planet fuck pool guys I can't get a pool guy to come to the house. That's when I told this guy, he's like, yeah, we all, you know, it's very late in the season, so we're not taking any more people on contract.

Because like in order to get something to come and check your pool once a week, you have to like do a contract. You can't just ask him what's in a while. I would close it up even though it's a little bit early and you might have some 99 or below days still to come. I would maybe close that pull up for and then for the season and then work all winter long getting on someone's you know contract that you're a pool guy for the season next season. Yeah that's what I need. I need a guy that can do it. But then like the I said because I'm the type of person like

something happens and I'm so narcissistic that I'm like why only me this would only fucking happen to me um, but this guy was like Hundreds he goes we deal with this hundreds of times every summer. It's like this is a very common problem So you put the slime away in and what's gonna happen? It's gonna kill the algae But then it all sinks to the bottom of the pool So the pool still not blow He's like and then you got to vacuum it up. He's like you know how to vacuum it up. But then it all sinks to the bottom of the pool. So the pool still not below. And he's like, and then you got to vacuum it up. He's like, do you know how to vacuum it up? No? No. And what we do in what most people who are involved in home renovations, I don't know what they're

doing, do you even hit in the YouTube? I haven't had YouTube yet because we've only been painting. We got in like over a little bit over almost two weeks ago now. And what happened was, you know, I said, last week, Mary Beth was like, Oh, I just want to painting. I'll be done in two days. I just want to do these two rooms. Now it's every fucking square inch of the house. She, I said, she fucking knew that she couldn't hit you with like, we need two months of painting because that would overwhelm you. Right. So she told you two days on purpose. So she like, she'll believe it. I didn't believe it. I'm telling you that as a fucking, that was all calculated

to not overwhelm you. And she says we got two months of painting ahead of us. Right. You're a miserable bastard. Just go by the way, you're also going to have to empty the storage unit. Into the pod, we're going to have to pack the way. We're also gonna have to empty the storage unit. Into the pod, we're gonna have to pack the house. We're gonna do all this shit. Like she was fucking convinced we were moving in

by September 1st, and I'm like, there's no fucking way. There's no way. Are you painting the entire house every room? Pretty much every room. I had to draw the line at the laundry room. I'm looking at this laundry room, and I'm like, this is maybe the lowest fucking priority, probably like I've got mustard out, you know, deal with. I'm not fucking being your laundry room. That'm like this is maybe the lowest fucking priority probably I've got mustard out you know deal with that looks perfectly fine

it's like this beige wall that's like neutral it's like how much time are we gonna spend in here yeah what so what where did Brian Johnson go because I would have like like why aren't you just like these rooms are good enough and that's not the end of it once she came back with all the paint what could I do she went to load she's like she goes I'm gonna go get some paint it's all this These rooms are good enough. And that's not the end of it? Once she came back with all the paint, what could I do? She went to Lowe's, she's like, she goes, I'm gonna go get some paint. It's all this like specialized dollars and shit.

I'm gonna go to Lowe's and pick up a few things. She came back with no lie dude, 15 gallons of paint. Yeah, and it's never one coat. Not one coat, it's never one coat. It's always like, oh shit, look at all these places. I mean, this is, I don't wanna come off the wrong way here, but this is how it goes.

I wouldn't, I mean, this is what they do, and by they, I mean, you know. Why? Yeah, the wives. Not for me. Dude, I went, I made the foundation. I am useless. I am useless in this aspect. I laid that down almost from day one like what, like, courting, you know? That's just like, you know, I mean, I don't want you to

ever think that I can ever help you in any way. I found never to attempt to help you in any way. I, you could, I will always attempt attempt but you will always be so disappointed with the Outcome of that attempt that you would be like it's better to not even let him try Oh, this is brilliant, you know, and that has really gone a long way or I'm not expected to do any of this Yeah, you're right. He's always right I believe I told you yeah, but you know who you need you maybe one maybe coax her at a retirement is my wife She was an amazing pool maintenance person. She was a maid.

I remember you saying that, but I'm just like visualizing Deb like fucking fixing my pool for me. She would tell the pool people, you know, like their business when she walked in, like you need this, yes, no, I don't. I need this, this, and this. Really? Oh, you know what, you're right she walked in like you need this yes, no, I don't I need this this and this

Really like oh, you know what you're right She was she was like she was a scientist when it came to the pool. She would get the shock all that bullshit Yeah, you would talk about it endlessly and I would be like Say the fucking November yet because I don't care about the Do you have a pool currently we We got knocked down and storing sand that we never brought it back. But when we had it though, you couldn't, you could eat off of it with water in it.

Yeah, wow. Because that's how clean it was. It was perfect. Yeah, I remember when you had the, you had two parties there and both crystal clear, both. Yeah, one of the, what somebody came in, because we had something going on with a pump and we got a professional in who she her

She teached what somebody who did something and they pull industry or did at one point He came in and he just could not stop giving compliments like you know He thought it was water from a sparkling creek. It was so Yeah, so she knows what she's doing. I mean she hated it though So you would have to throw a couple bucks away but she would come in for a consultation though i'd be alright i mean i paid a guy to fucking be like here it's a cobweb but fucking two hundred dollars later i'm like okay but now what do i do

yeah fucking it doesn't help me that was a glowing recommendation walled yeah if you don't take him up on that, I'm not saying she'll do it. Yeah, she probably won't. Now, you're listening, I'm gonna know this guy, and maybe it's for off camera, but you have to talk to Matt Evie, who was our production manager on Comic Bookman.

The go-to man, what you need something, go to him, the matter of what it was. Like either it was like a listen or above board. Yeah, he dealt a lot of drugs on set. I remember. I confirm and don't deny these allegations against Matt. Like a bazooka and a word. Anything.

Bazooka. Yes. You would say, can you find it? Well, dude, you kid, but that's the kind of shit he would do on dual survival. You would find those kinds of things. Anything we needed and he'd get it like in Central America. Mattie V. Worked for a pool company.

Mattie V. Did not deal drugs. By the way, like in Central America. Maddie V worked for a pool company. Maddie V did not deal drugs, by the way. That was a joke, definitely. Now that I'm thinking that I said that, exactly. No, no, no, this is last name, what the fuck is it, shit? That's true, it could be a different Maddie V. Right, there's no, I got no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not true.

He was a pool boy. He worked for a pool company, he was the best. That was he banging checks, like he was, right? That's the same pool boy stories. He doesn't have any pool boy stories, but when he was a pool company, he was the best. That was he banging checks, but he was right. He had two boy stories? He doesn't have any pool boy stories, but when he was a delivery boy for a Linwood pizza, he had some stories. He had some stories, huh?

I was a pizza boy for a while. No stories. Other than me giving the wrong change one time and then realizing I gave too much back, like shockingly too much back, from like, they gave me a 50 and I gave him back 60. And I realized that I had to go back, like, shockingly too much back. I'm like, they gave me a 50, and I gave him back 60. And I realized that I had to go back like an hour later and I'm like, hey, I need that money back.

I gave you the wrong amount. He's like, really playing stupid and be like, I don't think so. I was like, I know so. I got it back because I was like, I'm gonna get fired, you know, if I don't get this back. And I guilted him enough to give it back to him. What did you have to do?

I just, you know, just look sad. Okay, just pathetic. Okay, pretty much, you know Easy to pull off What yeah, when it's genuine shit a fucking 19 about to be And the other part was the house has a coin pond. Oh, that's sweet the other part was the house has a coin pond. Oh, that's sweet. That's cool, that's it. That's it, right? You would?

Yeah. Would you want to be a cat-back on your? I don't know how to take care of the coins. List the things to do. No. But it sounds beautiful. You definitely don't, because Walt, no, they just all of them died.

About 25 to 30% of them dropped dead. No, what? Yeah. Are you serious? No, I'm serious. We still speak once. What's this? This is less than a week ago. There were a lot of lives. Yep. We, No, I'm serious. We, um, I mean, this is less than a week ago. There were a live.

Yep. That we, there was no cold snap. There were like three days, right, three days ago. We went in and we were, we always sit at the table. We eat the bagel in the morning and Marybeth just shoots up. She goes, the coy are dead. And I was like, what, what?

And so we get up and there's like all these coy floating on top of the pond. Oh my God, it's a horror movie. And I fucking now, this is partially because I hadn't been taking my medication and partially because I was truly fucking incensed. I started yelling at her, which only upset the situation more because I kept telling her to call the realtor who was boasting about his coy pond. And I was like, it just seems like I'm like, it seems like the pump isn't working. Or it seems like there's something going on with these fish.

Like call Anthony and see like what we should do. And she never called. She never called. She put it off. And then the fucking fish died off. It turned out it was the water levels. The water level was too low. So there wasn't enough oxygen. And I was getting choked by like all this algae and shit. So what is that your fault? No, I feel like it was the guy before us. Because it's not like the water level would drop that much in one week.

And it's not like the algae would bloom that much inside of a week. So it's like the, the people before us should have filled it up more than they did. I, this is not unexperienced. These are not cheap fish. No, I've heard. But this is not unexpected, but it is fucking staggeringly quicker than I thought it would ever have happened. At least over the winter, maybe they would have died. Yeah, this is not easy after you visiting.

I'm speechless. I have fucking speechless because we called it. We said that him. Oh, he's fish got a death sentence. Well, he fucking move. Yeah. Bay of what I think you called it. I said, it's always right. There's no way these fish are going to make it. I just never dreamed it would be that let six days ever making this proclamation. I know it's true. Don't miss it. Do you see why it's like all these things? I'm like, what was right? Yeah, what was right?

I just got a little seat. I'm just seeing instant to wall. Well, there's nothing I could have done. There's nothing I could have said though that changed this. You could have said fill up the water. I would have known that it was too, all I did know was when I saw how many fish were in here and I was like, and he was like feeding them.

And I was like, there's way way too many fish in here for some of these fish to feed because only the big ones are getting the food. And the other ones look like they may be starving because they're just not going to be able to get enough food. It's not going to drop down to where they're, because they're like that hierarchy of fat fish versus little fish. And the little fish didn't look like they were feeding. And I was like, maybe there's just an overpopulation of fish in here. Which, I think that could have been too.

Now's our problem anymore since 25th, I've known it's been called, yeah for sure. Well, dang, was it a smaller, weaker fish that died? No, it was the hardy big fish because because the oxygen levels were so low that the smaller fish were able to like power through. Cause they don't have to have too little or gills. I guess smaller gills, little or is that a real word?

Yeah, little or is that a real word? I've heard a little. I've heard a little, I've just, yeah, I've stepped it. But I like a big fish would have much bigger gills and you'd be drawing more oxygen, right? Need more oxygen to stay alive. Shhh. Yeah.

So, what'd you do with them? Fish, I off just put them in a plastic bag and threw them in the garbage like how many fish 25% okay, if I did guess 30 yeah, you're probably right. Oh shit. It is like a fucking massacre. Yeah, we were calling it a coitastrophe That's the name of this episode. It's amazing. It's amazing. But how upset was she? She was really upset.

I mean, she talks to the animals and shit, right? Oh, she's named them and all kinds of stuff. There's Mr. McGoo, there's Pablo, there's Bowen Arrow, there's Mr. McGoo-Mate. Mr. McGoo-Mate, it is. Oh, my God. Brian, I feel like, you know, you're calling me in too late because this would have been an amazing episode of the reality show of you- Yeah, what's it like?

Like a house. Yeah, it looked like it. It looked like it. I mean, this would have been an unbelievable episode. Well, we know that it's all bullshit. Can you just recreate all this with an adequate act? Absolutely. And also, don't worry, I'm gonna fuck up plenty of the future.

We should have been rolling all the time. There's not one door in that house that like just closes like they're all like kind of swollen Inshitt a little bit so like I have to have my brother Darren because my brother Darren's really handy He's like he's as good as Edgar if not better. Wow. That's some lofty praise. Yeah, he's he's really good So let me guess if I was like since I like talk about it, I'll equip that's my life story. I should be in my autobiography, which I'll license to you for the show and if it goes through. I'm going to like the Donkainen book. But if I had to think how he's going to fix those doors, he gets them off the hinges and he gets one of those planers. Yeah, and you scrape the door down till it's the perfect size or they buy all new doors. No, I think that you can adjust it because Ernie did it for me in the crooked house.

Like one of the doors, like when I tried to put it up, it was just like, I ended up breaking the door on purpose because I got so pissed. So then I had to go buy another door and then hire Ernie to come and just like, he's like, oh yeah they make it look so easy like when Ernie's doing he's like I can't just gotta do this. Well you know what that's because it's not your field though like can you okay sit Ernie down and come up with like okay all the fish died. Give me a fucking catchy like fucking phrase for it like koi taster feet right he'd be fucking sitting there all day. He would throw. And I'd fix your door for you. See? Everyone's got their little special skill.

Yeah, Ernie's great at that kind of stuff. I'm not, man. I'm, it's weird, because like, I did work with Edgar when I was young, like in high school, like in summers. But you weren't a sponge, though. No. You were not a sponge. You just not allow yourself to be a sponge.

You were like counting the minutes. You're bigger and better at things for not allow yourself to be a sponge. You're like counting the minutes. You're bigger and better things for me Edgar. I'm just doing this for I'm like, you know, I'm for a short time. I'm on my way to bigger and better things. Yeah. That's why you just didn't take the sponge. Yeah, I didn't think it would be necessary. Like in retrospect, I would have paid more attention. But you can't change your mentality. You can't change your interest level. You can't make yourself care about something if you don't care about it.

It just won't work. Yeah. Either you're interested in DIY or you're not, right? But now you wish you had some of those skills. You didn't know. You couldn't see in the future and know that one day you'd be killing fish, none of your doors would fit. You know, like I should have had some other interests, instead of just making wise cracks all day.

Yeah, just making jokes and Edgar be like, oh, Mr. Personality. Oh, fuck it. I can see about it. Yeah. Yeah. I would love to just go back at time and just witness you like practicing your father is fixing shit around the house. Yeah, he was not a patient guy. I don't know if he'd be the best teacher for you either though.

Oh, especially when I was young. He was like the most impatient dude. Yeah, he didn't have the patience that it would take to teach a young Brian Johnson, you know, something he didn't care about. Yeah, now it only took like 50 years or so, 45 years to get to a point where we're like, not civil, but like we'd like talk to each other and it's like we don't argue or anything. Like that went up until my like my 30s. Like I remember being like, then my early 30s and getting to a fist fight with them. like, they're my early thirties and get into a fist fight with them. It's funny. It reminds me of, you know, if you read Springsteen's autobiography.

The boss? The boss. I mean, he had a very tumultuous hustle with his father. I don't know if it got physical, he didn't talk about getting physical with his father, but they had a rough relationship, which inspired many of his greatest songs. And then later in life, you know, after he's a full grown man successful, they come back together and he enjoys, you know, amazing times with his dad. But only after, you know, he's older and his dad is elderly. It's a common road that we walk down the road.

He waited till he was in the power position, Bruce. You know, they say we are too soon old and too late smart. Oh, damn, man, he is just fucking. He's dropping him. Truth bomb. Dropping him. Yeah. Well, speaking from experience.

I, uh, one of the things we had to do like, and like Mary Beth was so hot to clean out this storage unit because like when she first got it, it cost her 200 a month. Now it's like 400 and something a month. So she's like, I want to clean that. I don't want to put the shit in the garage. I don't want to pay for that storage unit anymore. Meanwhile, like we're between the two houses and the other rent on the other house is far more than the fucking $400 that it would cost the storage unit. So I'm like, why don't we just pack the house, but you know, overruled whatever.

How does Brought Johnson get overruled? Because I'm just like, I'm not going to pack the house but you know overrolled whenever. How does Broughton Johnson get overrolled? Because I'm just like I'm not going to pack the house. So if this is what you're fucking what I do then I guess this is what we'll do. It has to get done so fucking. I think I've reached an age where I'm like I don't know anything. I thought I knew it all. I thought I knew at least some. I'm like I don't know shit. Is that a reusica fighting?

I don't really fight that much. I think I'm just gotten to a point where I've taken a step back and been like, I, I, like, the things that I thought I should do or the things that I thought were right or the decisions that I made, I'm like, a lot of them were probably like not. They were probably not well thought out

or as thought out as they should have been. So I've like really started to take other people's opinions and other people's views into account a lot more as opposed to being so arrogant and thinking I know it all. I know it took 54 years to get to that point, but that's the point of reach. I think it's healthy years to get to that point, but that's the point I've reached. I think it's healthy. Yeah.

Yeah. The healthiest guy you know. Yeah, you know, look at me. I do. I think it's healthy. You give, you're giving people the benefit of the doubt. You're not shutting them down right away. Is that true? Yes.

Yes, I think that's pretty accurate. OK. But it's like people that I respect or people that I'm friends with or that I know, it's like it's not like I would just, like if Walt was like, hey, I think that's pretty accurate. Okay. But it's like people that I respect or people that I'm friends with or that I know, it's like it's not like I would just like if Walt was like, hey, I think this, I was just to smith it. You know, like I would but a stranger, I'd be much more likely to be like, whatever dude.

Right. But now you're open. Now listen. So what strangers are giving you advice that you're... Nobody, but if they do, I'm ready for it. He's right. Ah. But um, well, let me, you know, let me this real fast, and then we can go back as I have something with dads to talk about that I thought was

kind of weird. I know I got a bus to love with, uh, carav. Oh, yeah. But it's some sort of like, no, this is just, this is just a spot. Oh, carav is a subscription service that ships high quality personalized vitamin supplements and powders conveniently to your door every month. And Brian, the fall is just around the corner. As you know. Are you on a vitamin regimen? Because you're a really healthy guy.

I am. Fit and trim. Yeah, one of us. What's what's what's a Brian and shell take daily? I tell you milligrams of, yeah, of stuff. Of exactly stuff. I just me milligrams of stuff. Exactly. I just made sound excessive. I take wheat germ. No, I take 20,000 I use a vitamin D every day.

That's a merry-beth takes what? 20,000? No, some vitamin D. Yeah, vitamin D. Oh, hey, oh, hey, I got that. You want to know more? Yeah, I do. I take 500 milligrams of carcinin. What's that for? It helps, it helps my cells absorb the vitamin D and it also helps with inflammation for my like arthritic knees. Okay.

I take magnesium, it helps with bone and muscle repair. I take a thousand milligrams of vitamin C and sometimes another thousand later than that. You're just popping pills all day, and if you're just taking all this. I take a headache. I take a headache. I take a headache, a headache, a headache, a headache.

Yeah, so it's a handful in the morning and then it's like two or three more nights. Can you do the horse pills? Or do you need little pills? Because I could never do the horse pills. Yeah, the magnesium is pretty big. I could take pretty big pills. Oh man, I am so fucking like an off you.

Anybody that could take those horse pills, I was like, how do they do it? Yeah, I'm a pretty good swallower. I thought he was trying to get you to say. I asked my mother the battles that we would have if I'd take a normal size pill, let alone an oversized pill. It was torturous. It was dreaded.

Like when if I got sick and I had to take a certain pill, that was over. And I thought in my eyes was too big, which was anything. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I could respect anybody who could like anything. Right. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I respect anybody who could take those horse pills. Put them down.

I've, Walt, I'll put five of the vitamins in my hand at one time. Pop them in. I swallow all five to get. How's that for? That's something. For road muscle control. And you know, gag. Don't gag.

No gag, briefly. No. Yeah. That's why you're so healthy. That's where it's swallower. I mean, I, I wanted to knock on wood here, but I mean, I think that is what sustained me. I've been in so many COVID-infested rooms over the past two and a half years or whatever.

And I've, yeah, but you also ever travel to all corners of the globe. You put yourself in like where these like remote tribes and shit, where you're like, they haven't seen like an American and ever and you're walking amongst them and you don't know what microbe can get in your getting you know inside your body and get a big term on you. Yeah, no forget it right? You're like you're on the seas like there's no doctors and so it's like it's either you if you get something you

either got to fight it off with your own body strength or not. That's true. I mean, your immune system is your natural defense. Why wouldn't you boost it up as much as possible?

to make them go down smoother, you do those dry horse pills, which are like really for like, those coated ones are for the fucking sissy's, right? Yeah, I'm not, you don't have to. You take those dry, fat ass horse pills, like chalky, no water. Oh my God, yeah, I'm like,

I winced when you said it, because I was thinking about like having to try to do that. Let's see. So yeah, take 50% off your first care of order, go to takecareof.com and enter code TESD50. That's 50% off your first care of order, go to takecareof of calm and enter code t-e-s-d-5-0 how long you been on that regiment?

um about three years three years yeah how did you come up with it like who did someone like a doctor is this is what you need or do you look like just google it or something yeah I was reading a lot about it I think I heard Joe Rogan's podcast had a bunch of different people on talking about it. So I would hear things from different people and then look them up and do a little further reading. He's all into the muscles, right? He's into the muscles. He's very into, you know, vitamins and stuff. So you would go, that's the podcast you'd go to. Like you wouldn't go to TSD. Well, unless

we're doing a care of commercial, but we wouldn't. We wouldn't be the podcast you would go to and be like, let me hear with these guys have to say. Not so much about health and fitness, but yeah, that Joe Rogan gets some really smart, you know, scientist. He looks like he looks like he's all buffed out. Oh, the guy's a neck. That guy's a ferocious fighter. Joe Rogan.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, he looks like he could. He's until the M.A. Still for that. Yeah, I mean, he was a, I think, national champion competitor in techwondo when he was younger, like best in the country. He's got a vicious spinning backkick. You should see.

Yes, he trains, he trains, you know, mixed martial arts. You should see, I don't know why I'm pumping up Rogan here, he's got enough people watching him, but it's pretty impressive to watch him work the heavy bag with his spinning back kicks. It's insane, it's like the most power you've ever seen in a kick, like definitely you would die

if he kicks you in the stomach, you're dead. Yeah, yeah, it's impressive. Oh. Yeah. That's all. That's all I have to say about that. Guys can't talk about you. I was talking about the storage unit and now cleaning out the storage unit.

It's me, Mary Beth, and Edgar did it. And it was the first time, like, the day before we had to go to Monroe, which is like 30 minutes from here or something like that, 40 minutes. And we had to pick up a dining room table, me and Edgar, pick up a dining room table and what did she call a buffet? Somebody was selling it on Facebook and it was so fucking heavy. So between that and then the next day when we were like Carrying shit Just suddenly occurred to me. I don't know why but it suddenly occurred to me

I'm like anger 75 and it I suddenly felt really guilty about him helping me And I'm like later like he took off the next day He was too tired after doing the the storage unit and I'm just like like he's mortal And that never really occurred to me before because he's always the guy like, if you needed something done, you need like, Hey, how do I do this? Can you help me with that? It's like he was the guy to go to. And obviously he still is. He's helped a lot with like the painting and like he's retaping shit and all that kind of stuff. But it like, it made me very like melancholy in a way, because everybody's dropping off.

So many deaths, the summer Murray's mom just died. Yeah, why don't you plan a weekend getaway? I thought you were going to say it's funeral. No, a weekend getaway. You and your dad go up to Pennsylvania, get a cabin, no work, just go maybe go fishing. I don't know if there you go. You took me fishing once in my entire life. Canoing, go out to dinner.

You know, like just the boys, like father and son. I feel like I would have to ask Daren to, the one on one, I just like, I'm not there yet. Maybe a couple more years. A couple more years. I don't know. You got a better thing about doing it now. You can't, you can't rely that there's always going to be a couple more years before you feel

comfortable enough to talk, you know, one on one with your dad for 48 hours straight. Yeah, but he's okay to talk to because if I just steer it towards politics, I work on the same page about a lot of stuff. Pretty amazing, a 75 and helping out like that. 75 and he like like like working his ass off so yeah he look really good he still looks really good he still looks the same to me that's amazing Brian I mean really you should yeah it's gonna be cliche but you have to cherish it he's on a regiment of carol I

don't know if we told you that the edger is yeah I mean I look so good my questions have been answered. I was wondering how he's saying, so fit and vibrant. Of course, it's the care of regimen. It's care of. I should have known. Yeah, so it did make me like, it did make me think about like wasted time, you know, like like ball games that you guys can go to.

But he doesn't have any interest in any of that shit that shit like it's we'd never had that relationship of like hey let's go to a ball game like I remember like practicing for little league and him like hitting like pop-ups like you know so I could catch him and I'm like I'm complaining because the sun's in my eyes and I can't see the fucking ball literally bounced off my head one time because I couldn't see and then he was just like well if you're gonna be a baby and cry about it, then let's just go home. Like, he had a very... That's how Brett Farve was taught by his father. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Maybe I should have fucking gotten hit and they had a couple more times I could have been a pro.

But there's like, there was those guys from that era, from especially Edgar's era. Tough love was the way to raise a man. Yeah. Look know, look what, you know, I don't know though. I don't know if that was the way to go. I can't do it. I can't do the tough love. I can't do a sage. She doesn't look. You need to do tough love, right?

Uh, but the kids, yeah, I can't do it. I mean, not like crazy. I am a pussy. Yeah. My daughter does something that makes my wife mad. And I always go like, stop. I always like side with the kids. Always because I can't be tough love.

Couple of daddy's girls. Yeah, that's what sage is a daddy's girl. Well, I mean, they're not, I wouldn't even say they're daddy's girls, but I just can't, I just terrified that they're gonna be mad at me. So I'm like, so I just keep my mouth shut and kind of like,

don't back up my wife. You just punch your back up on that. I'm like, come on, I want to talk to you. I don't want them to be mad at me. I want them to be not talking to you. I want them to be not talking to you. Yeah, no, no, no. You can't win either way.

I mean, look, the way Edgar was, that's a type of dad. My dad was the... Very common in the 70s. Very common. That was not, my father was the very common in the 70s very common That was not my father was just he just ignored us All right, oh, I had that that right so he just ignored us did whatever we wanted so I kind of became a lunatic to get his attention You think that's what was I spent a lot of time to therapy. This is what we came up with. But I never, but I never did. Like I almost tried to get him to be tough love with me

and come down and shake me and be like, you're 12 years old, you're drinking like an 80 year old alcohol. What the fuck are you doing? Get your shit together kid and it never happened. But you wanted to happen, you think? That's what you think now. You wanted him to show that he cared. Probably, yeah.

Wow. That's deep, too. He can win. And then if he was the other way, I'd be rebelling against that. The guys all over me. He won't let me be myself. He's telling me not to drink. He's telling me not to do this or not.

And he won't let me alone. So you try to do the middle ground and between that. Try to run the middle ground and it doesn't work. You know, I'm not sure. I'm not sure yet. Your kids are younger. My two girls are adults. 19 and 25, almost 25.

Almost harder to, you know, it's just, their adults, it's harder to be like that kind of like, if something my wife is not pleased about something, it's just their adults. It's harder to be like that kind of like if something my wife is not pleased about something It's a different dynamic though their adults though. Yeah, I don't I mean look my daughter's gonna be 18 in a month Right, she's just started her senior year and I and I and she's a really good kid So I rarely have to like put her in check about anything But you know, she's she's feeling herself. She like, started dressing like she's from the 60s now. So she's wearing this outfit the other day that makes her look like a 60s gogo dancer.

The white boots. The whole thing. So she's wearing it around all morning. I'm like, interesting, okay. She's going to the day before the first day of school. She was helping the freshman with orientation. But then a little later in the morning, she added a little garter to the outfit,

a little garter around her thigh. So I see it and I go, what is that? She's like, this is a little piece of fabric. I go, well, that's off. You're not wearing that to school because now you look like a prostitute. Right. And she did not like that because normally,

I keep my mouth shut and I'm scared. She said that, you can't show that to me. You can't show that to me. You can't show that to me. You can't keep my mouth shut. You can't shame her. 100%. That was the softest word that came to mind. So then I quickly realized I needed backup. Okay, so I'm like, faith, call up my wife, faith, faith. This isn't good, right? She can't wear that.

Faith goes absolutely not. You're gonna get dressed, coded. You can't wear a guard in a school. She didn't like any of this. So again, I tell her that's it. It's got to go off and she yelled at me. Absolutely not. You're gonna get dressed coded. You can't wear a guard in a school. She didn't like any of this. So again, I tell her, that's it. It's gotta go off and she yelled at me. But you worry about what you're wearing

and I'll worry about what I'm wearing and I was like, wow. See, so, see, my girls don't, they won't yell at me, but boy, they don't have a problem yelling at my wife though. Right. When they're mad about something. But they don't do it to me, but not even because they're like, I don't know why. I don't know why they don't,

because there's like, I'm just, I guess because I don't know why. There's just something that they're just like, well, well, you're not the one giving them shit, right? Maybe that's why. Yeah, that could be a nice guy. You're good cop. Not even good cop.

I'm just kind of like, neutral cop. I'm just kind of like, I walk the dogs, and not even around even here, because I just don't want to I just don't know why. I know that's avoiding the issue, but. Fucking problem is, the problem is fucking Mike Brady.

All right? We all threw up because the idea that Mike Brady actually exists, that there's some fucking father out there that has all the answers, it's gonna guide you. And you know, it's not true. You can't win. You're trying to raise these little people and you're trying to like not make them do the same things

that you did and I wanna want the same stuff for you. I want you to have an easier life and a better life. And don't make the same mistakes I made. And at the end of the day, it kinda doesn't matter. They have so many other influences. Hopefully a little like smidge of your voice voice gets in that at the moment of decision When someone's passing a needle over to them. They're like well my dad said drugs are no good And a couple of his friends died from doing heroin. Maybe I shouldn't shoot up the best you could hope for

Wow That seems a lot more severe than a garter The garter's the gateway truck like the garter though like the garter You probably could have let go because once you got to school, there'd be like, you can't wear that. Exactly, I don't know the rest. And then you don't look like a bad guy.

Right. Yeah, I don't know. I can't figure out the rules of school. You're like the dress codes. Like they sent home a letter last year when Sage was in eighth grade that if you're going to wear like a dress that shows your shoulders,

you have to wear a sweater over that shows your shoulders, you have to wear a sweater over it. And then I'm passing the school yesterday, where you know all the teachers are there again, the classrooms ready. Everybody's wearing dresses with fucking shoulders. Shoulders go over. Shoulders all over the place as far as the I can see. So I'm like, well, what is it then?

Like are you supposed to shame people for like, why can't a girl show their shoulders? I thought it was like, I thought the whole thing was like, a girl shouldn't be responsible for the reaction of a boy seeing her shoulders. Yeah. She should be, I mean, whatever, you know? I don't recall in school. Like we went to school in the fucking 70s,

mostly in the 80s though, high school and shit. And it was the worst clothing. It was like fucking popped collars and fucking big sweaters. It's like, there was no like, hey, you're disobeying the dress code. It was only a- It's like the Madonna.

The Madonna. Yeah, it was people who were adopting the Madonna look. Yeah. Was the, as bad as it got, you know what I mean? Kind of, were you wearing underwear on the outside and least off? That was the as bad as it got, you know what I mean kind of where were you wearing underwear on the outside and least off. That was maybe as rescues it got. Yeah. I found our school was like a lot of preppy shit right? Like like most of the girls were like preppy. Yeah. I don't I don't I don't recall any like scandalous underwear on the outside or anything like that. I

don't know if we're that fashionable yet. But Donna had hit though by that point though, so we should have seen that. If that was a fan. I guess we didn't have any girls that were like wanted to really like go outside the box. Yeah. We had some cool like goth checks, right? Like girls who were really into the cure and stuff

and the smits. Yeah, that was good for that. Yeah. Yeah, that was a cool look. I had got a lot of goth look as a good look. Yeah. Yeah, we only had. But how long can you lot of look as a good look. Yeah, yeah. How long can you pull off the goth look before you're like, you got to stop how old is too old for the goth?

Is there a cut off? I think I would say after 25, you done. Okay, you got it. That's generous. You got to retire the goth look. I think so. You put away the black lipstick. That's the way I feel about chuck tellers. Like the's that like I feel like at a certain age you shouldn't

wear them anymore. I don't know why. Yeah. But I strange fuck I know what I know it is. But like once once I see when I see women wearing them and there's just like who said who's he? Somebody actually actually cares enough about our product. It's a comment. Comment on it that there's a cut off. What is it about that look for you? I feel like it's older women trying to be young. And forget it, if you're a guy wearing them in your 50s,

you might as well be wearing crocs. In my estimation, I don't know what it is. It just seems like a younger person's, like stylish, sneakers from the fucking fifties. Yeah. Which are like, but like, like, like, like, little, if you're wearing the same shoes as a 10 year old, yeah, like to me, that's weird.

Yeah, what, what would you have them trade those chock tailors in for? Wing tips. Yeah. Some loafers, loafers with tassels. Yeah. Some like penny loafers. I feel of loafers, some nice penny loafers. I feel that way about, and I don't want to offend anybody, I feel that way about skinny jeans. Yeah.

I don't want to see. We're going to have to cut that. Really? Oh, is that a big, is it? Not big, I would think 90% of the, our listener base is wearing skinny jeans right now. They're so hip. I love that. Patreon just dropped off. Let's move on.

No, we're generally kidding. I don't think most of our audience can fit in skinny jeans. Like, and this is what you say, I can't put them either. Listen, in my industry, in the entertainment industry, you know, you have, you know, all these dudes who are trying to maintain a youthful appearance. I know a lot of guys, my eyes, that die their beards, they die their hair. What's wrong with dying her hair? No, what's it?

What am I just saying? I was getting to the skinny jeans. You know, and the wear in the skinny jeans, skinny pants, I don't like that look. But why do you think it gives off a aura of youthfulness to skinny jeans? It's an interesting question. Is it like just because you can see the outline of their legs and makes them look more youthful? It's an interesting question. Why am I so offended by the skinny jeans in it?

And it's just men. Just men. You're not worried about if the jeans are too tight on the women, right? Doesn't bug you. Not a good look. I don't know. It just feels like if you're 45 and your jeans are really tight and they're hugging your ankles, I don't know.

It's kind of a Peter Panish look. I don't like it. You know, it's a skinny jeans and like those like when a dude's wearing like a pre-pants, oh, forgetting. Yeah. Yeah, I could deal with a skinny jeans, but yeah, if you got a pre-pants on, like I can't take you seriously No, it's just there's just like all I'll see is your fucking your shins

I can't see you when I'm talking to you. I'm just like holy fuck. How do you leave the house? Where in Capri pants as a dude? Yeah, no It would be so you know such an egregious thing to put on, but I can't explain it. I've never been asked why before, but we've just been anti-skini jeans on any of them. And over 30. I mean, I have to rethink the whole thing.

Maybe it's okay. Yeah. It's, here's the thing, it's all okay. But you're still allowed to have your personal opinions about it, I kind of like it. Yeah, it's okay. It's not for me. Okay. Yeah, it's better, it's not for me. Okay, yeah, it's better, it's not for me.

And I'll tell you exactly, well, I have very skinny legs. Oh, so you think your... So your legs aren't, don't look as good, hugged in denim as other guys. Yeah, but then like, if they've had more muscular legs, would you want them hugged in? No, I would never want them hugged in the...

No, I would never want them hugged in the... I don't want my denim hugging me. I like a loose fitting pant. But that, you know, maybe it is personal. I have to look a little more inward before I start. You know what? I've learned a lot here on this podcast. A lot about myself and my judgments.

And I'm going to rethink it, you know what? Yeah. That's the other thing. I've tried to become less judgment. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to apologize right now to the skinny gene community anyone over 40 and skinny jeans yeah you do you take your daughter's advice like you worry about what you're wearing I'll worry about what I'm what you said she was so fucking Joe Pesci in my face so my wife when is you you were you worry about

what you're wearing and I'll worry about what I'm where and then she fucking storms off my wife looks at me She goes, well she got your temper Clearly I've crossed the line where I can't even wear jeans any longer now. I've wearing the Detest track pants that's all gangster. Well, I mean that's all I wore for the last 20 years So I was wearing jeans the other day for Special occasion And

I came out of the bedroom of wearing jeans and everybody's laughing at me because I haven't been worn jeans in 20 years So they're just like you don't look right in All comes out hey, I put my tongue a reason Tough skins Yeah, they're like you just can't pull off jeans anymore. You've gone too long without wearing them now. You can't wear jeans. I'm like, good, I'll take them off. I don't want to wear them. It feels like I'm wearing a denim fucking straight jacket.

Yeah, it can... Yeah, man. Like, what if I got to move like lightning quick for some reason? I can't do it in jeans. Or you're just going out to dinner the chain restaurant. You know what I'm gonna do it in jeans. So what you're just going out to dinner the chain restaurant? You know what we got a mob at weave. The 80s Chuck Norris came out with a line of stretch denim specifically made for high kicks. Yeah, I remember that.

I remember that. It was that print head where he was like his leg was up in the air. Yeah. How come that didn't catch on? Oh, no, it's not enough for a ridiculous. I mean, yeah. But now they're called jeggings.

Yeah. So he was onto something He just he was he went to the wrong demographic. Yeah, it should have been women. Yeah, yeah, so growing up like in high school Where did your genes have to be a certain like Baggy quota like before you'd be like okay, these are acceptable. No, no, no, George, right? No, George But they were probably but they were probably, they were probably tighter in high school than they are now. Like now I like them looser,

but I always wore Levi's jeans. Like my kids laugh at me, it's like my style hasn't changed, as he pictures me when I'm 10. And I mean, either jeans in a t-shirt or jeans in a flannel shirt, or a t-shirt with a flannel shirt over it or a sweatshirt It's size of our age. It's Levi Strauss or die. Yeah, it's Levi's. I'd say I've been wearing the same fucking Levi's in any other any other

pair of jeans or brand of jeans is like Those are funny jeans for for a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man.

I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man.

I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man. I'm a funny man know, sleep by straws. Yeah, that's it. It's it you go zipper or button fly What do you think I think you go zipper? Absolutely. There's fucking no way that I've done my fucking My little skinny fucking fingers should ever be seen fucking

But I'm not putting a fly It's so like time consuming in the bedroom. We like you're stripping down for Deb you like hold on We pop off these eight buttons first. Oh man, my arthritis is kicking in. What do you think I go? I would go all in. I would go all in on zipper, but I'm probably going to be wrong. I just feel like you're so such a traditionalist

that like buttons are almost like new Coke. I go buttons. Oh! Well, let me say, and maybe we have to look this up. I feel like buttons may be the original. When was the zipper invented? Oh, buttons came into FAD like in the 90s. I feel like Cowboys might have had buttons.

They might have, because the zipper wasn't invented yet. Yeah. But, wow, I'm shocked by that. Yeah. I'm all buttons. But it's not as bad as you think after a while. Some other buttons. Not as bad as you think.

I'm gonna tell you that. He's gonna try to sway you. After a while, after a while, you just grab the top and you rip them open. You don't have to unbutton them one by one, so you can get it out there fast. Right. And do whatever you want to do with it. Why wouldn't the bathroom know this

is going to take a little bit longer? And it takes a little longer to block the wall. It's going to be like in a public restroom, you don't want to be in there any longer than you need to be, right? That's true. You got to hold your breath a little longer. Yeah, that's why with the track pants, man. It's like, no, no, you've solved it.

I'm out of track. You know, I'm in and out like before I I'm there I'm a ghost and I'm a fucking fucking I want to ask you guys did you hear about this new story though this is so wild did you hear about the the monkeys and suing to get their files that the FBI kept on them oh yeah the yeah, I did read about that. The monkeys, the band. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does that blow your mind?

That there was people being paid to monitor the monkeys and compile files on them for what reason? The FBI in the 50s was at a control. They're not like today. Oh, exactly. But can you imagine, you get the assignment and you're like, okay, you're going to be covering the monkeys. I would love that. You got Hendrix.

You got the Beatles and you got Elvis. Yeah, it's like, do you think that they're still doing this to this day or they're current artists that are like being monitored and they're being, you know, there's a dossier on. Joe Rogan. Thanks, sir. Yeah. Wow. Why? Because he talked enough about that was that I've earned a lot of power. What about TSD? Definitely. Good answer. What they talk about this week. Gossier's not the ass Even gittems got his own file. Oh, I believe that that's what local police though But don't you just find that a Complete an utter waste of time and resources. Yes, I do, but it's not shocking like government wasting time and resources but what could you have garnered like what what would justify the manpower and the hours and why is it still redacted?

Yeah, why is it still redacted? I mean, I would imagine it was part of the red scare, right? I would imagine they had the minds and hearts of young people and they were afraid that last train to Clarksville could turn some kids into commies. Well, they said it was about their anti-war stance, which every fucking person I would think back in the 60s, every young person had. Yeah.

Was there one band that was pro-war in the 60s that was like, you know, bombhead? No way. I mean, you watch all fucking get out of Vietnam, right? That's why I'm like, what could it like, what could they have gotten that would have made like, wow, I'm so glad that we we we kept the Dossi on this band because we wouldn't have found out this. Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty simple. They're just they're traveling all over, infecting young people with crazy ideas and the FBI needs to stay on top of them To make sure the country doesn't turn red and you still think that this practice is being done There's artists like you said Joe Rogan wrote about musical artists like

rappers Yeah, they have the most influence I would think right now, right? rappers. Yeah. They have the most influence I would think right now, right? Well, there was what was that that movement that was going on to get to Nangan, here's where I'll be pretty ignorant about it, but there's something happening up with a law where you can use the lyrics of a rapper against him or her in a court case. So if a rapper puts out a song with lyrics that the authorities feel are inciting or have incited a crime or like led the way for a crime to happen, they could use those lyrics against the artist. Now this is an idiot's version of what's actually happened.

But there is something happening there. Well there's been plenty of cases of such a thing, you know, throughout musical history, you know, Ozzy with suicide solution. Yeah. Priest, you know, with some of their lyrics, and it never works out for the prosecution. Right. So it's like, yeah, so it's like a rapper who had beef, and they can't talk about it. Yeah, I can't imagine that you could hold a rapper for Lion ball for what somebody else does because of their lyrics He sings a song and somebody does something. That's a so on America

That would be the same as like writing writing a book and somebody takes an idea from it. Yeah, and again It's gonna have to be Googled to find out what the fuck I'm actually talking about but there's something in there Wow, yeah, I would not, I would, but what about puff daddy, you think he's got a dossier? He's one of those guys that's really outspoken, right? Is he anymore? I don't think so, not so much anymore. You're more like like Jay-Z,

would probably more politically, more influential. Yeah. We're socially more influential. For sure. If you were the last remaining member of the monkeys, I think it's Mickey Dolan's. It is. Why do you think you waited so long? Why now? To like sue the government to get those files? This is last act.

As it was was found out. Okay. I was just wondering, what is it that now prompts him after all this time to try to get the files unredacted so he could read what happened? I mean, I would definitely be curious. Well, that should probably, if it's unredacted, would you see the moles that gave up information on you collect roadies and should like the guys that they put in there like the undercover

agents to uh... uh... and get close to the band to get that information would you be able to get all the information right well i don't think i have so much knowledge about the government work really put me on the spot here no i don't know but i would say that either either uh... he m mdoland it is donald right yeah he's planning on I really book me on the spot here. No, I don't know, but I would say that either he,

Dolan, it is Dolan, right? Yeah. Yeah. He's planning on putting out a book. I think sometimes when there's questions about like, what's the motivation for this or what's the motivation for that, the answer is like nine times out of 10 money. Yeah, I agree with that.

So it's like, does he want to get his name out in the news again? Because now he's going to release like the authorised, you know, like, does he wanna get his name out in the news again? Cause now he's gonna release like the authorized, you know, monkeys biography or he's gonna put out a greatest hits record, you know? And then get on the news circuit and get on a book then all the news shows. And do the tour and promote your book and your or your album.

Because of this news story. Yeah. It's fresh in the news. I think so. Pretty good. Let's go with that theory. Yeah. I'm all for it. Yeah, I think the answer's always money. It's funny cause's go with that, Dary. I'm all for it.

Yeah, I think the answer is always money. It's funny because I worked at MTV, you know, a bunch in the 90s and people, invariably, to this day, and it's really fucking annoying. People are like, oh, what'd you do? I started MTV. And they always ask the same question.

Why did MTV stop playing music? How annoying is it for me to get that question, you know? What's your pad answer? My pad answer is money. It's always money because they put on the real world and they saw that they could get a viewer to watch for an hour and then watch something else for an hour, right?

So if you're just playing music videos, like you're gonna watch the three minute Billy Squire video, but then if the Eurythmics comes on and you don't want to watch that you're changing the channel. So now you're getting viewers for like three minutes at a clip and as soon as something's on they don't like they're changing the channel, but if you hook them into an hour-long reality show you've got that viewer for an hour. Somewhere Billy Squires like someone mentioned me. Oh yeah. What was his video? No but what was his video that killed his career?

Oh, he was like, he was, he was prancing around laying on the, writhing on the floor. Yeah, what was that video called? Oh man, I don't remember. Rock me tonight? Maybe, yeah. Because it really did kill his career. Yeah.

Like he, he never recovered from that music. He's a guy one of those guys that's forgotten the time. Yeah. Because he was a fucking rocker man. Mm-hmm. Like he was good, he had a less Paul, he was wearing denim shirts. You know, he was great. Levi's.

Of course, points like. Here's a picture of him looking not very happy in his later years. Oh my God, is that him now? Yeah. Yeah. She got another ed. I do.

I do. Like, so he joins in over there. Yeah, I know. I can. Like, so you're jones and over there? Yeah, I know. Can't wait to talk about Raycon. You know what really sucks, Brian? Everything. Everything, the zone on the treadmill are pushing to finish that last rep

I've been using my Raycons there because Remarie Beth doesn't want to listen to the same podcast that I listen to all day long. It's basically, we get there at like 8, 8, 30 in the morning and we stay until like seven or eight at night. She doesn't want to hear 12 hours of the same shit. So I pop in my Raycons and I'm left alone. That's a courteous and thoughtful husband right there.

Yeah, I'm a good guy. You sound amazing. I mean, it is a problem with them falling thoughtful husband right there. Yeah, I'm a good guy. Yeah, he sound amazing.

Tonight anyway. Tonight is yeah, that you're ringing. And if I put it in earbuds, then I don't hear it. Yeah. I'll put on some like white noise or. Yeah. Are they sending you guys free samples of these things? Because it sounds like something I should really have.

They say, I might have a pair for you. I'll take a look. Well, I don't want to take the rip them out of your ears or anything. But he got them falling out of his ass. Yeah. Can I get another one right now? Well, I mean, they will fall out of assholes,

No, I think it was Rock Me to no, I think it was rock me tonight. I think it was rock me tonight where he just strutting around like kind of a little bit too erotically.

Yeah. And he dominated audience. He might have well been in skinny jeans. I think maybe a skinny jeans and like a flash dance shirt. I think I had mascara on too. And this is an era before like where people you know For like you know wasn't as much gender bending. Yeah. Yeah, although Well, he was before him. No, I don't know why his audience would have like objected that though No, cuz he came out there like a real like, you know

It was a startling change because he was like a hard rocker You said then this this was not as hard of a rocking this was a startling change because he was like a hard rocker. Yeah, hard rocker. This was not as hard of a rocking. This was a classic example of some music video director coming in and convincing Billy Squire who carved himself out a little career before MTV was like, oh, now it's video. And it's all about your image and you got to put out an image. And he never really hit big though. He was a kind of like, he was like, like, A list. He was in the middle between B and C, I think.

Just ready to hit B, but pretty far away unless he had a major, major video hit on MTV, which he didn't get unfortunately, because of this video. Right, but he had a major album with, the stroke, the song. Yeah, I forget what the name of the album was, but the stroke was huge. And, it was, fuck, lonely is the night.

That's a great, that's my favorite Billy Squire song. Lonely is the night. Do you know that my first concert, as you well know, 77 KISS at the Garden, a band called Piper, opened for KISS. Lead singer, Billy Squire. Were you a piper fan? No, no.

But you came one that night, right? I know, I would do the... Yes, yes, yes, yes! Who are the fucking guys on the stage for no makeup on? Fuck piper! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Never heard of piper. So I found those banter topics that I never They never presented to you money money here. Oh my god. This is like compones vault with actual gold inside of it I guess that I don't know you want to hear somebody's definitely kind of maybe Maybe try to take a guess of how they would have went if we had tried them. Yeah, yeah These are the ones that come away filling in and filling in as the role as a comic book man. Oh, okay. All right.

I'm ready. Okay. Let's say you could turn into a being more powerful than Superman by uttering a magic word for 12 hours at a time. So you say this magic word, you become a being more powerful than Superman. You know, much like Shizam, Captain kept the marvel right but there's a big but okay every time you turned into this being you lost vast amounts of testosterone So by the third transformation You revert it back to when you revert it back to your human body. You would be 100% female

Would you continue to utter your magic word? Yes? What's get bullshit? No way. How come? Because you're a man of you've lived it so many years as a man. Now you don't like you've already had that. You're like, I want to, you know, and plus you're going to be, you're going to have the ability to turn back into a man when you turn into this supermanly creature. So you had the best of both worlds. I mean, is being a man so great? What's so great about that? Yeah, really, we're reviled.

Yeah, exactly. Especially now. I know, but think about that. I mean, what about your family though? Like, you got to think there's not the people that consider it though. Yeah, that's easy. That's just decision to keep saying this magic word.

And then- So your wife's a lesbian. It's like, Daisy and Eli, I have two mommies. Right, I mean, yeah, but I mean, I get, I get, I get, I'm more powerful than Superman. Yeah, and like, think of all the good you can do, all the rights you could wrong, all the, all the like atrocities you could stop. But you're so selfish that you're like, no, I can't, I cannot be a man any longer. No, I'm telling you, I'm not that selfish, I'm selfless, and I'm gonna become this more powerful than Superman superhero and give up my cock and balls.

Easy, easy decision. For 36 hours of being more powerful than Superman, you're ready to fuck a be a woman for the rest of your life. Well, maybe I misunderstood the banter. How long am I the superhero? 12 hours. 12 hours at a clip. So you say the word, let's say the word is... Nabisco. Maybe I misunderstood the banter. How long am I the superhero? 12 hours. 12 hours at a clip.

So you say the word, let's say the word is, Nabisco. Great, Nabisco. And then you turn into this super man like God. Better than Superman. Better than Superman. You have no, you're invulnerable. There is no kryptonite.

There's nothing that can stop you. You can do whatever you want to help the world, however you see fit. Love this. But in 12 hours, you revert back to Brian Ashell. Right. Second time, you revert back. Except a third of the man, right?

Because you lost your testosterone. Yeah, there's something that's not feeling right. You go back, you're like, whoa, something's not right. I like that. I like that. I would need a pair of skinny jeans. I can't do that. But anyway, so that's the second time you do it.

Then you come back as Brian Ashell. And there's no doubt about it. You need a bra. Yeah, yeah, I'm a little bit out. I'm like, you need a training bra. You need a training bra. Yeah, I'm like, is anybody want to watch the joint luck club? And I've had a third time.

Yeah, it's like fried green tomatoes. It's a sisterhood of the traveling pants. Yeah, I know, fuck. But then, I'm now a woman, Brian and Shell is now a woman. Yes, but for the rest of my life Every 12 hours I could be the superhero. Yeah, that's the deal. I'm telling you that's the that's the I like that deal Oh, it continues the ability to say the magic word and everyvert back to that for 12 hours. My life Definitely I'm taking that deal. Yeah, but now guys are gonna be hopping on top of you because you still have your same brain Right like you still have this your same mindset. Yeah, but now guys are gonna be hopping on top of you because you still have your same brain, right?

Like you still have this your same mindset. Yeah, but he but like and not at first though because you still gonna have the same haircut. Right. Okay, so he's just gonna have all the gear. Yeah, he's not gonna be able to grow his at the locks or anything. Yeah, he's looking. Yeah, it'd be fun. You I don't know what you think. Yeah, it'd be fun. I don't know. What do you think? To me, I thought, like, I know when I thought this up, I was like, this would be gold to like, you know, for a, a Ming fun. A Ming we get destroyed, yeah.

A Ming fun here. All right. Brian, what do you mean? What's up? What do you think? What do you think that would be? Also, would you accept that one though? Would you have greenlit that banter? Or is that back in 2015, 2016? I may, I think we'd have to work on it and scale it down. Good.

No, because it was a little, it was a little, even I wasn't sure if I even got it, but that's good. Well, yeah, we could do a little bite size version of that. Like would you, right, would you, trade, would you do this? Would you become, would you become the world's most powerful superhero

for half the day, but the other half of the day, you have to be a woman. Yeah, you have to swap genders. Yeah, yeah. That's nice and clean. We have a poetry haircut. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I'm all for it. So that one would have been to do list. I would have hoped it. I like it, because I like this. I like this. This is fun, because I got another one here and then. Yeah, okay. Would you rather have a copy of Action Comics number one

in near-min condition or have to curling take you to the edge of the universe orgasms that leave you with the most intense o-face ever for the rest of your life. And then I would go to Ming. Let me see your old face now. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't have been a lost.

I wouldn't have, this is what I mean. I'm sitting on gold. Bars of gold. How crazy would it have been for America, for like 10% of America, or in the, or less, 5% of America? To like, if I was to be like, hey, show us your, like,

everything your old face. Half a percent. Half a percent. It would have been great. You know his eyes are rolling up and I think it would be similar to his Chewbacca impression. Yeah that's why I wanted to get into that. Yeah I would greenlight that thing. Greenlight that one too. Yeah. Yeah. What would you do? Action comics, number one, Nearman, or toe curling. take it to the edge of the universe. Yeah. What would I do personally? Yeah.

I take those orgasms over a million dollars. Yeah. Guaranteed, probably two million at the end. So you're dissatisfied with your current state of, but the way Walt described those orgasms, yeah, life hijacked. How do I pass that up? I mean, because life is stressful, and I have very few stress relievers in my life. I don't drink anymore. It's like you know what I mean

I'm living like a monk here But if I could squirrel away good five minutes ten minutes and get those life changing orgasms Yeah, I'm telling you no matter what I'm a new man no matter what it's like it's like even the most like mundane is gonna Give you like like you know where you're gonna have that old face is gonna be on for hours Yeah, you can't wipe it off your face face Yeah, well, so he's like in public Because money can't buy happiness with those orgasms, you know now walk around I'm happy Come into the office I guess I know what you were doing

I guess I know what you were doing. Yeah. You got to work today. Those pockets are empty, but as our is balls. My arms are up. His hair line. Swetting all the time. Yeah, okay. That's a good one too, right?

It's amazing. Could you imagine if I like, and I prompted those guys to be like, let me see your face now. I can't even keep these from me. I forgot about them. I just like said I plugged them on iPad like it was like the rich iPad. Oh my god. Yeah. It's like 1.0. And I plugged it in and actually got power and I looked through the notes and I was like holy shit. All right. Would you rather have the ability to control animals or control machines. Whoa, this requires a little thought. Machines, or animals, control animals, or control machines.

Machines you could sabotage a lot of people. Like you could become like an evil super villain, be like, hey, let's go back to Nabisco. In Nabisco. I'm fucking fuck your factory up. Yeah, look, I think animals are doing okay without me. I'm gonna do machines, cause I can just walk up to an ATM, right?

And be like spit out all the money machine. Yeah, you, yeah. And I would think though that like, once you control the animals, you have this rapport with them, you know, how fucking gross is that that you're controlling them? I'm gonna do shit for you. Yeah.

But machines, there's no guilt in that. What am I gonna do with these animals? Hey, bear, come here. What's a attack this guy for? Well, you could be the world's greatest entertainer as you have, you know, you and your bear do amazing things. That's true. You could get like a residency in Vegas.

Yeah, I'm going to go machines. You and those two do to train tigers. You join the secret group. Boy, yeah. Secret Roy in the shell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Painting a very good picture of this animal business. I'm taking machines in the shell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not painting a very good picture of this animal business.

I'm taking machines all the way. You're par your daughter's white boots. Yeah. Yeah, no. Okay, machines. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think I would go with this. No, walk again.

Right? Like season nine or season eight? Eight. Man, we would have had a lot of banners here. Okay. This one's amazing too. This had a lot of banners here. Okay. This one's amazing too. This was all about just to get to one area. I remember it now. You find out through a series of innocent mistakes,

like a maid walking in into your room while you're getting dressed or forgetting to lock the door of a bathroom stall, that when someone comes in and finds you in a state of undressed. Okay. The emotion of shock when you're in the presence of it, you garner superpowers. Okay. But you have to be in the presence, you have to shock somebody. Okay. With your nudity, most. I'm going to pass on this one more time. This is the most bizarre banter ever proper.

That's what I was just like, I just can't find a way for this to not sound promising in the delivery. But I basically was just like trying to get many of them like, I just can't find a way for this to not sound promising in the delivery. But I basically was just like trying to get Ming so you'd be a flashier. Right. To make up your superhero, you have to walk around in a trench coat, open it and make someone like gasp. And then you can become, then you have superpowers. Yeah.

That's really, I was just trying to get there. Right. I was trying to drive the car to like Ming say, yeah, I would fucking get the trench coat. Yeah, it's. And walk around nude. It's very creative. I'm having trouble even grasping that one. Um, okay. I like how they're all aimed like just to get being to do something or say something. Yeah, it's a bread and butter. Yeah. Um, you ever heard of the superhero firestorm? Yes. He's got to flame me hair. Um, he almost looks like he's got a Cuban shirt on like Ricky Ricci Ricci. Yeah, different from the the human torch. Right. Yeah. Only his hair is on fire.

The other guy. Firestorm is a unique superhero who's made up of two beings, a 19 year old Ronnie Raymond and his 60 year old college professor. When they become Firestorm, they are both conscious in Firestorm's body. So it asked the guys, if you were become Firestorm, a Firestorm-like hero, what older gentleman would you like to share a body with? It's interesting. Like older than us? Yeah, at the time we'd have been in our 40s,

I think when this was, when I'm opposed to them. So what like 60 to an older man, would you like to co-inhabit a body? Living, is this man living? Yeah, a living. Basically what I was trying to do was I was going to brow be ming to be like, why wouldn't you choose me? I'm older than you. And then I'll do that, but I was like, that's what I was trying to get to. Like, he didn't choose me and I was be like, well, why not? Why wouldn't you call me?

I'd be more helpful to you than some other fucking dude. So this is a really good glimpse into the mind of Walt Flanagan. This is how Walt, or Walt slash fake Walt, was always, you know, just killing it on comic book men because he would lay traps like this. You know what I mean? So it seems like a real question to me,

things he knows what Walt's intention is, but the whole time, Walt is planting a trap and me and Joe have a problem. And I figured like, I'm putting a ball in a tee for Brian. Yeah. And like, just gonna get, I'm gonna lead that horse to water and Brian is then gonna like, you know,

and about it at what's a water filter, like the what's that thing that horses drink out of trough trough Yeah, there's no water not trough. Only Brian Johnson's there to like hammer them. Just bring out. Yeah, spring out and you know Call them gay Yeah, I thought you'd say that thing There's no water in this trap. You sir, or a homosexual. You know, I mean, it's amazing that people are actually getting this glimpse inside of how it happened because people think it's so easy and all, it just happens.

But thought went into it. Oh yeah, laying those little seeds and traps. Is it too outlandish to think that, you know, some shows have come back decades after they were canceled? Full House. Yeah. Fuller House. Fuller House. There's probably other ones. Could, Com Bookman at one point, could you, would you ever say never to that, like, you know, some fledgling streaming or wherever is like, yeah, we'll order 10 episodes of a convocment revisited or whatever. I don't think it's that outlandish.

No, no. But this will, I got some banners for us. You're ready, man. Part of your pitch. You should in that list. Okay, so you're in a bathroom stall, right? With wearing a trench coat. But you're gonna get a superpower if you surprise someone

if I flash in your cock and balls to them. Like what? Like what? What? Yeah. Ooh, that's pretty great. Yeah, I don't know. Like I said at one time a while ago

I was like I feel like comic book men like there was this little Wedge this little pocket of time in which we could exist and then like like right now We kill still could but you just have to like scale it back a little bit. Maybe Little less little less mic. It's smooth out those edges. Yeah smooth out those edges It's a little less who micening little less little less mic and then smooth out those edges yeah smooth out those edges it's a little less who mic and then little less well a little less joking around about mic and then like I don't think we could call him if you want a little less of one of those two guys then you should check out Tales Behind the Fate counter a lot less even half actually I Have I give too much later

Future Yeah, it would just it's just like you can't I think we're good enough where we could like scant We don't need to rely solely on like call those two guys You know Queens it's okay. We'll find another way. We'll just do comic book humor. Yeah solely on like call those two guys, you know, Queens. It's okay. We'll find another way. We'll just do comic book humor. Yeah, no, I mean, I guess for the right kind of streaming service or, and listen, it could even be some genius

who comes up with, you know, all right, this is a, I've got a whole network aim that people who are into, you know, comics and geek culture culture and we want you guys to know. We need some credit. Anchor it. Yeah. We need some, we want to kick it off with some credit, you know, and you guys bringing you guys back with a trial just 10 episodes or eight episodes, six episodes. Yeah, it could totally happen. I feel like it could get step right back into it too. Like it would be like we didn't mess a beat. I mean, we don't, do we have a stash anymore? Yeah, it's a 65 front street. beat. I mean, we don't... Do we have a stash anymore?

Yeah, it's a 65 broad street. No, I mean, could we use that stash? To make it to revisit conflict, man. I don't think it would take that much of a wrangling or like a big pitch meeting. I think it would be like, absolutely please. Yeah. Get the band back together, yeah?

Oh, I would be shocked if anybody on that 65-Rudzi was like, you know what? We're doing pretty good without comp. Yeah. Who needs that extra money? Yeah, I have to think that, although I don't know, but if I had to lay odds, you know, but I was wrong about the fucking botan flies.

Yeah. So who knows now? It's all I'm assuming. I'm gonna about the fucking buttonflies. Yeah. So who knows now? It's all I'm gonna dig in the Walter. You are. I mean, I think we have to look it up. I wonder if the original Dungarees were buttonflies or zippers. Well, I've slended on that and let's like, you know,

the question for the ages. Just a pond, that's something to ponder for everybody. I was gonna look it up, but yeah, look it up yourself. Well, I'm gonna do all of your work for you. That's a word that really fell out of favor, huh? Dungarees. Dungarees. Really did.

The turn dents of jeans. And I think it was the Jordanish shit and the Sassun shit. Like girls didn't wanna wear Dungarees. Some of the dung in it. Yeah. But I mean, that's what your mother's would say, right? Dungarees.

You need a new pair of tongue agrees. Yeah, I think it just was synonymous with like your daddy's pants. Yeah. These ain't your daddy's pants. Brook shields, a levier old Brook shields and those ads. Whatever old she was. Yeah, woof. They do the same shit these days.

It was, I think two years ago, what magazine was it, it was Avanity Fair or S.Qaire one of these, they voted that Millie Bobby Brown who was like... Stranger things? Yeah, who was like 14 or 15 at the time, voted her like sexiest woman of the year, it was like what the fuck? So it's like people are, like kids are still sexualized on TV and media and stuff, yeah. Yeah, I've seen it at my house, because my wife and son are obsessed with my son's fucking obsessed with it. I love it.

I love it. I really like it. Yeah. This is right in your wheelhouse. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen it. I've seen what it looks like.

I've seen some scenes. It's been pretty impressive, the budget that they've given this show. Yeah, it's really well done in the music. Oh my God. It's crazy music. Yeah, that's, I mean, that's a massive budget. That's like the whole season of comic book men in one episode. That's our pitch mean. Our elevator pitch. We're cheaper than stranger things. Tell them to

stay big. Hey, yeah.
