Episode Date: May 5, 2024

Bry & Walt visit the bottle dump, Tom Brady’s roast, hobbies, cats, Sage learns to bet, is Bry’s honeymoon over?

I could go for two or three hours and not even realize it. B.Q. It's time to go to bed! Brian is there to disrespect the bottle dump. Tell em Steve Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell em Steve Dave. I look to my left, I see Walt Flanagan. No. I look to my right, I see BQ. Hey bud. Why would I bother looking forward?

All I'm going to see is get him probably. So left and right, that's? All I'm going to see is get them probably. So left and right. That's the way I'm fucking operating today. That's it. You can say, tell him Steve Dave. That's all I got for this week. I've been sick for the past three days. You've been sick.

I got fuck all. Yeah. I got some kind of chest congestion thing going on. Coughing and stuff. Get him gave it to you. Did he? Yeah. He was sick.

Motherfucker. Did you? Yeah. Cause I'm like, I didn't go anywhere. Did he? Yeah. He was sick. Motherfucker, did you? Yeah. Cause I'm like, I didn't go anywhere. Yes, you did. That's right. We did go out. We went on a day trip with Getum and I

thought I saw you guys go over to the side and speak nose to nose at a certain point. So. At least Rupert didn't see you with the camera. Yeah, we went on a day trip Q. Where'd you go? Well, tell me about this.

I didn't hear about this. We went to see, uh, we're working on something for Patreon where I try different hobbies. And so last week we went to a guy who's like the authority of Burlington County about bottles and bottle dumps, nearby bottle dumps. Oh, you jump right into the bottle dump hobby. And then we finally, after we talked to that expert in Burlington County, we got our bottle guy expert and he brought us to the fabled bottle dump of Monmouth County where Gittemstead

Dave had spent many an afternoon in his youth and we got to see it. And the viewers and listeners will get to experience it as well in a future episode. Were there still bottles of foot? Fuck yeah. There was nothing but bottles. A lot of them were broken. Wow. Yeah.

And stoves and bed frames and car doors. I mean people have heard about it literally for a decade and I can't believe it took us this long to finally be like, hey, show us where this fabled bottle dump is. And we took a trip out there and we saw it firsthand. And you didn't have to dig very deep to find glass. I mean, it was all around you. I don't know how the fuck he found it. That's the big question.

I don't know how the fuck he found it like on this, like in this forest. I don't know how he found it. When you leave the path, I'm just not sure why he left the path. Yeah, like there has to be a reason to leave the path and like stumble upon it because it's not like, it's not two feet off of the train tracks. Yeah. It's like, and even when you get there, you're like, oh, this is it. Okay. Now, okay.

Now I can start to see all the bottles and stuff and the, uh, Sure. The garbage. Do you think that somebody told him about it or did he find it? Did you guys get to the bottom of this? He staked the claim to it as his own, so I thought he found it. Yeah, but it's like the pet cemetery, man. It's like passed down through whispers, you know, through the town. That's where the rumors are.

The bird follows. Well, as much shit as was there, there's no way he's the first one. There was a lot of stuff there, man. I just don't know how the fuck anybody goes out there to dump a fucking stove or bed frames because you're like, how the fuck did they drag it all the way out here? Yeah. It's like the most inconvenient spot to drop off junk and garbage. You'll see every once in a while, somebody drops a sofa off on the side

of the road cause they're like, fuck it. I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to pay to have it hauled off. That kind of, that at least makes sense. But like. Yeah. Cause it's easy. Right.

So Q I'm thinking, you know, it's got me, really my wheels are spinning. Brian is sick after visiting the bottle dump. He was the only one of the party who was there to disrespect the bottle dump. Is there maybe some sort of curse? Because I was very respectful. I was like, this is fucking sacred land. I made sure to keep like –

Yeah, I'm like, we walked all the way for this shit. And then he walks home with a fucking fungus in his chest. Yeah. I'm like, breathe deep boys, we're out of nature. Look at his bestos everywhere. Do you think there's something to my theory that he dissed the bottle dump and now he has to make amends? I think there's definitely a curse connected to the bottle dump, but I

don't know if it's the one that you think it is. There's got to be some bodies out there, man. I think there's just broken glass. Well, Genham speculated that, or said at least that since the train goes by, maybe the train stopped and that's where they would dump stuff out sometimes, you know? Yeah, that makes sense, I guess. But the bottles, what fascinates me, look, I realize I can learn all this by watching that episode, but a bottle dump expert, a bottle dump expert, like have we ever gotten a real explanation for why certain areas become known for bottle dumping?

Like it just seems for their, for bottle dumps to exist, that means an amount of humans had to all agree that they were going to lug their bottles to this place and dump them. Yeah. And why the fuck would anybody do that? They told – we talked – get this, Cube. We talked to two bottle dump experts in one day. So all those questions were answered. I was lightheaded.

But he said that people didn't have regular trash pickup and there would be one horse drawn carriage that would come by and take your garbage. And that's how certain counties would get these one areas because one guy was like getting paid to go door to door, be like, you got anything you want and I'll pay me and I'll go drag it horse-drawn carriage to this dumping area that I know of and it just became like the place to go before the organized sanitation pickups. So an 1800s get him was running around in a rickety cart. Careful, careful Q. You don't want to get a fucking fungus in your respiratory system. It's interesting that comparing the person in 1860 who did that run to get him

sounds insulting to you, Walter. Like, uh, why is that an insult? I, you know. I know where you're headed. I can tell by the tone of your voice. Stop me before the curse gets me. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Yeah, this guy. What's the name of the show? Bri tries. Bri tries. Bri tries. Yeah. So far I've tried. No, no, that's not giving it all away. You don't even give it all away?

I don't give it all away. Just the first episode's coming out in a couple weeks. And you know, make sure, what did you just tease him, Bri? I try something. Yeah. Just tease him. A couple different things. We do two hobbies per episode.

Okay. All right. Nice. What would you consider your hobby to be a Q? Uh, I guess these days I'm down to mainly reading. I guess if that counts, uh, I still like taking pictures. I do that a lot. I just don't really post them much.

And, uh, video games. So I think that would cover, I mean, comic books. I, I fold that into reading, you know what I mean? He's got a lot of free time. Yeah. He's got this much free time. Where is he today?

Yeah. I'm reading comic books and playing video games. Well, video games are the only real one that you have to be locked in place for. Photography, you could do anywhere. That's the magic of it. And reading, you know, I'm on so many planes and shit. I'm on 10 flights a month. So it's an easy, it's an easy thing. It's really the video game once it's like, I get home, it's late at night and I play. And how, how long will you lose yourself in a video game? Because I recall back in the day when I played video games, I could go for two or three hours and not even realize it.

Oh, well, two hours is that's me. That's me putting restraints on myself and being like, you can only play. Like if I sit, if I nestle down on that couch at like 10 o'clock, if I'm done by one, that's successful. But if it's like a fallout game, I mean mean that could be there all fucking night. It could get bad Get bad. Yeah, if the stories are that good and there's that much exploring to do I'll look up and it's like three in the morning If you have a friend over does the friend get like PQ it's time to go to bed

Not if they want to come back. Shouted down trying to play his video games. Pay attention to me, BQ. Pay attention to Fallout and all these monsters you're trying to kill. Walt, if I'm inviting guests over that are age-appropriate, they're all tired and ready for bed by 930 anyway, so don't worry about it. Ain't nobody getting bothered at 10 o'clock when I do. This guy, this other bottle, this is what I think Gidham should do.

This guy called himself the King of Burlington County. I guess just in reference to bottles, right? Yeah. But he dubbed himself royalty based upon how many bottles he had found. Yeah. But he dubbed himself royalty based upon how many bottles he had found. Yeah. Huh. It's a valuable one still. Oh, you'd be surprised.

Well, at least that's how valuable he says they are. This guy is giving me Dennis vibes. Is he Dennis? His place was located in an antique store. Yeah. Yep. This sounds antique store. Yeah. Yep. This sounds so far. Yep.

Check. There's stuff everywhere all over the place. A lot of old shit that'll never sell. Do you think Dennis is selling magazines in heaven? We're sure he's dead? I do. Yeah. Do you think that's what he would want to be doing is setting up his stand up there

and smoking with no fucking, you're like, does that have to worry about it? He's not like, I thought that was hell. Now I'm back to it. No, I think he's up there selling magazines to the angels right now. Oh, that's beautiful. Hopefully angels are into cat fancy because he had plenty of those to bring with him. Well, they're angels, so of course they are.

Oh. Yeah, we had a cat in the office last week. Very cute. Oh, yeah? Walt's daughter's little tiny kitten. Yeah, I needed to watch the kitten for a couple days and I brought it to the office. I'm not a cat guy. Oh, six weeks, seven weeks, nine weeks.

That didn't turn you into a cat person? I didn't think it was going to. I just had to myself, you know, because I'm not real sure how to deal with cats or kittens, but his playfulness and his nonstop drive to like get into shit and just play was very infectious. Yeah. And I think you scratch me and I got cat scratch fever now. His breathing's been labored.

The same fungus I do. Oh, that's all it takes bud. That's all it takes is that that one kitten to, to break the seal. Even though I'm not, I wouldn't be here to feed them or change the litter or anything. I did suggest an office cat, but I got roundly shot down. Didn't by who? By you. Yeah.

I don't remember you saying that. Yeah. I said, oh, he's like, cool. We should have an office cat. You're like, ah, I'm not a cat guy now. Yeah. Well, I could see it, you know what? I mean, impossible, but I don't know if we're allowed to have a But I don't know if we're allowed to have a 24-7.

24-7 cut. In the office. Probably not. Don't we already have get them? I mean. Well, my cats just had kittens in the yard. They just started coming out this week. So I have three new kittens

that I'm looking over in the yard. So if you want one Walt, I can, I got a line on some kitten action. I, let me, let me sleep on it. Well, he was saying this kitten was scaring socks too, so that's no good. Oh, that's no good. Yeah.

My cat has taken to, uh, for some reason we've had the puppy for about, well, the norm, the dog about a year now, for some reason within the past two weeks, my black cat Salem has become very protective, like if, if like the dog comes over near me, like Salem will run over and be like, and like, try to get them away and then like, look for, to get pet as a reward for like, for chasing them off. He's become like real territorial with me for some reason.

I think jealousy, there's a lot of jealousy in that house with these pets. Really? Yeah. Well, are they picking it up from the alpha? Me stomping around, like, what are you paying? You know what? You might not be that far off because I have mentioned, I was like, I remember when I used to get this kind of attention to Marybeth with a puppy. Did that happen to you too? What, with the kitten? No, with the dog. When you dog, you got first get the dogs.

Like does that pay all the attention to them and none to you? Cause that's the way I found it to turn out. Uh, you know, I mean, it's, I, I, I wasn't that like, um, insecure that I didn't realize that a puppy might need some attention more than I might need some. She's always like, oh, love you, love you. Kissing them on the nose. Love you. All this shit. What do I get? You the nose, love you, all this shit.

What do I get now? You want her to treat you that way? Maybe. Take me outside once in a while. Yeah, I love you once in a while, wouldn't be bad. Oh no. I'm just kidding. The honeymoon's over, that's what happens.

Oh, it's gotta be by this time, right? Yeah, it's just natural. Why, how many years? It'll be four years in August. That can't be over by then, man. You got at least a five. The honeymoon. I think you're a newlywed till you're five years, right?

Well, it was pretty damn close, come on. Yeah, it's me you're talking about. You think I'm gonna do anything all the way? Do it half-assed, my nature. We do have a show called Ride Tries for a reason, you know. This one just pulled out of the sky nilly-willy. This is a history of not trying. Yeah, it's all very new to me.

Yeah, I understand now. So that's what we got going on. Q, you got a, is Radio City sold out or can people still get a couple of tickets here and there? I think there's like, no, there's definitely, we just released a few tickets. You know, they always hold a certain amount of tickets, so we just released them, but it'll be sold out. So, it'll get there. So if anybody wants to come, now's the time we just release some good tickets.

Can't wait, I'm excited. Yeah, it's a big thing, man. It is. Fuck a Radio City, bro. I mean, that's, you know. You know, legends have fucking stood on that stage where you're going to stand yourself. Just recently, Barry Manilow played the piano right where you're going to be dancing

and shucking. Yeah, it's true. It's not lost on me, man. It's one of those, there's a few theaters and a handful of theaters around the country that when you get to play them, you're like, this is an honor to play it. The Ryman Theater in Nashville, the Greek theater in LA, Chicago theater. Like you just get there and their works of art and they have such storied history that you can't believe that they let a schmuck like me on the stage.

You know, it's not lost on me. Now is like, is Carnegie Hall a bigger deal or Radio City a bigger deal? I always say like the joke about Carnegie Hall. Yeah, I think Radio City is the bigger deal or Radio City a bigger deal? I always say like the joke about Carnegie Hall. Yeah I think Radio City is the bigger deal. I mean Carnegie Hall is big deal, like it's not like not, but I think Radio City is a little more iconic. Yeah. Yeah.

But you know, that's a matter of opinion I guess. Well I haven't played Carnegie Hall so I'll tell you right now Radio City is the better of the two. The better of the two? All right. The more prestigious of the two, yeah. Go with that. There's also Sunday.

There's a big deal on Netflix, Walt. Will you be watching the roast of Tom Brady? Oh, yeah, yeah. I won't watch that. You're not going to watch it? No, I'm not interested in it. Even in like when we did the roast of BQ back for Final Cast 2, I have to say, even though people really adored it and it was killer, it's one of the best things that people say we've ever done, I was not comfortable in the roast

atmosphere. I didn't like it. I actually hated it. Hated it? I hate that kind of like being mean at someone else's expense. And I know they're gonna fucking bring up deflating the balls, kissing his son. Right, all the easy ones. Cheating and all this other shit. And you know, why would I want to?

I don't want to see anything that humanizes the guy. I am not interested in seeing, you know, everybody, like professional comedians, like tear him apart and then he has to then get up and try to read and follow that. I don't know how that's going to come off and I am not interested in seeing him like attempt, you know, because that takes some skill to come back. I'm sure he is. He is writers. I'm sure I don't think you really you don't think Tom Brady is just going to do it all

himself the way he does. I can't tell if you're joking. There's no way he's doing that by himself. Well then what's the point then? Well he may not. He may not have the difficult time that you think. To entertain. Celebrity lineup for Tom Brady's roast on Netflix revealed.

Sorry. This is somebody speculating on who might – oh, Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos. He's a football player. Yeah. This is somebody speculating on who might, oh, Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos. He's a football player. So I don't know. It's just weird though. Why would he want to do this cue? They're all football players.

Oh, is that professional convenience? I don't think everybody, it doesn't look like, well, there has to be something. I heard Jeffrey Ross was going to be on it. He's probably going to be the roast master. That's what I was. I thought Kevin Hart was the roast master. Oh, is he? That's what I thought it was. Oh, is he? That's what I thought it was.

But why would somebody want to do this cue in your opinion? Because I think that not everybody feels the same way about you. I think some people, as you do, I think some people are like, I get it. I know what's going on. You know, I think, I don't know. I don't think everybody's as bothered by it as you are. Yeah. But why, why do it? Like some— Yeah. But why do it?

What motivates someone to do it? You don't need the money. You don't need the attention. Why squirm in your seat for three hours as people tear you apart and then you got to get up and return the favor? You think he's got a team of writers who he's gonna rely on to go back at them. Walter, I would bet every single penny I own that he has writers working on that. I know for a fact it's impossible that he doesn't.

There's no way Netflix is pouring all this money into it and then being like, go ahead Tom write something. It's up to you. Yeah, it won't be a big deal. It's just not happened. Does it even benefit? No fucking way. He's up to you. Yeah, it won't be a big deal. It's just not happened. Does it even benefit? No fucking way. He's a probable attendee.

Well, he's a big Boston guy. Big Boston fan, yeah. Yeah. See, that kind of like, then what's the point then, like for everybody at home then? Because then- I think it's just funny. It's just entertaining. It's just supposed to be fun.

Do you think he can deliver the proper, like, delivery of the jokes in a way that are going to like a trained – Are you afraid Tom's going to make an asshole out of himself and that's – No. Yes, you are. But a trained comedian up there reading his jokes as opposed to Tom reading some writer's jokes. Do you think he's going to be able to land and perform well enough to make where it doesn't feel like

incredibly awkward? I mean, I guess we'll find out, but I think that it would be written to his, tailored to him, you know? And I also think that if there's one thing I learned about this guy is that he's just the greatest. If there's something to be good at, he's going to be good at it. So we might see the birth of a brand new comedic legend. Well, he's not good at marriage.

We know that much. I thought it was his wife's fault. I thought we all agreed it was his wife's fault. Yeah, definitely. I told you he's got a fever. Brian, he's... What did I say? Did I say something anti-Tom Brady?

More medicine. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, I just don't get it. I, he's. He's a good. Did I say something anti-Tom Brady? More medicine. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, I just don't get it. I don't understand the, and again, it all comes from not digging the whole, it's like a very mean-spirited way to spend an evening. I don't understand it, but I realize that if people love this, the roast format as a form of comedy, and it's not for everyone. Have you ever seen the old ones, like the real old ones where it's insane, the shit they say. Oh, yeah.

Like, they stuff the... I don't think they've... I bet you if it's on Netflix, I think they're gonna go to areas you'd never dream they would go to. Well, it says unedited. Yeah. And live streaming. I believe it's going to be just as shocking as never dream they would go to. Well, it says unedited. Yeah. I believe it's going to be just as shocking as a 70s one, if not more so.

Really? Yeah. I do. All right. Love to see. Q, if you were going to go after, and one joke, which area you'd target. It's like, I know where everybody's going to go. I'm going to go here. Or do you think there's

an area you'd be like, I'm not going there? I'm curious what you would do. I don't think there's an area. I think though, if you're going to do it, just do it. You know what I mean? So you would bring up the jokes about him kissing his son and maybe even get, maybe even more explicit? That might not be the angle I take, but I wouldn't frown upon somebody taking that angle. Oh, that's so dicey, man. Is the Giselle stuff still too new and raw?

Oh, I think it's all Giselle stuff. All Giselle stuff? And I think he welcomes it. I bet you that's the area he's okay with. Um. I would, yeah. Something about a deflated football and Giselle, there's some parallel there we could make. I don't know. There's something to be done there. But I bet you most of the

roasters up there have writers helping them come up with jokes too. Could you imagine if the producers of the show are looking for – let's think outside the box for people to roast Tom Brady. You're like, you know, thinking about that guy in comic book, man. He was funny and they got me and then they asked me to do it and I came in and I wouldn't reveal my material and it was nothing mean or nasty. Yeah. Yeah, people would love you. Yeah.

That's what we're here for. More ass kissing of Tom Brady. I would endear myself to the man though, right? Yeah probably. If you did it so straight faced, it would probably be funny. Like if you just played it completely straight. Like if you had like a Norm MacDonald delivery. Yeah, and just cleaned his balls relentlessly. played it completely straight. Like if you had like a Norm MacDonald delivery. Yeah.

And just cleaned his balls relentlessly. I think that's why I've been doing it for the last five to seven years. Yeah. No, I'm not interested in a bra. I will, and I would appreciate no one emailing me clips or letting me know what was said. I really want to go radio silent on this one. Ants, please let me live in ignorance of this particular incident.

I would rather not know what was said. Even if he fucking kills it, even if Brady fucking. Yeah, like what if he destroys and like the other comics are left in awe? In the unlikely event that that happens, I still wouldn't want to. Yeah, it's just, it's not for me. I mean now that you see the lineup though, it's mostly his contemporaries. It's not going to be comics or, and thank God it's not washed up comics.

A lot of times these celebrities will get like comics that are not on like, you know, the A list or B list. It's just kind of like an embarrassing thing all around. At least it's like his contemporaries. Jeffrey Ross, he's at every roast. He's the guy. Kevin Hart is a funny guy. I bet you Kevin Hart's going to have some fucking bombs.

Yeah, Kevin Hart's very funny. He's going to have to, especially as the host, he's got to have the best stuff you would think, so he's going to have to go for the throat. Well, that's after, they have to go after everybody. So let's see, who else is on this? If it's all players, I'm not sure how that really. Belichick's going to do it? Wow.

He could join this test. This could be the train wreck of train wrecks. You might have to watch this man. Yeah. So yeah, they'll go after the other guys, the Patrick Mahomes is in the, I mean, how hard is it to roast Travis Kelsey at this point? Yeah. Oh, so what?

You're backing the most beautiful and famous woman in the world right now? Oh. You know what I saw? Speaking of Travis Kel – well, speaking of his – what's Travis – Taylor Swift. Joe Elliott, Def Leppard, the lead singer. Okay. I saw he said in an interview that Taylor Swift is bigger than the Rolling Stones and the Beatles combined. At this point? And I was, and I'm like, why do we, why does he have to say that at this point? Like what, we all, why do we all have to believe it to them when we know it's not true?

Why do we have to just because she's the most current thing? But it seems like such a fall into place, she's definitely the biggest and greatest thing, bigger and better than combined in the stones and the beetles. We know it's a ridiculous statement. Trevor Burrus This is what Travis Kelsey said? No, this is what Joe Elliott of Death Leopard said. Oh, Joe Elliott of Death Leopard said. Okay. Yeah.

And I'm just like, what kind of exercise is going on here that we have to say these things? What the fuck? That's the entire world, bro. The entire world is fucking – here's what's what and you better fucking fall in line no matter how much you disagree with it. It's just lucky that it's a harbor that we can say Swift may not be bigger than stones and Beatles combined

Yeah, but by what metric though because there might be a metric that she is Probably and she's definitely earned more touring than than they have because of her to ticket prices Well ticket prices the fact that the Beatles stopped touring after a few years. The Stones have been going on for 60 years. But the impact of the Stones and the Beatles combined, to say it with a straight face is like kind of like something weird is going on, man. Something weird is going on. Like why is he being forced to say this when it's so painfully obvious it's not true? I think we're just getting old, dude. I think that if you ask people in their 20s who is a bigger

influence, who mattered more to them, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones or Taylor Swift. I don't even think it'd be close. I think Taylor Swift would blow them all away. I think it's just, it's the new world. I think in the new world, she is probably bigger than the Beatles and the Rolling Stones put together. Now, I am no hater of Taylor Swift.

I don't begrudge her. I just find it weird that there's this kind of like line you got to get in and everybody's like, yep, she's bigger and better than the Beatles and the Stones combined. Whoa, I don't think that anybody's saying she's better than the Beatles and the Stones. I think bigger is different. Okay, or maybe, yeah, I'm reading more into it when he said it was bigger. Okay. I've listened to some of the songs recently.

Gideon was playing some of her songs. Perfectly normal. What I expect, it kind something that like is influential as like The Beatles though, which I don't – like literally change the face of music. Can she make that same claim though? Or is it just sound like the same kind of music that I've heard since the 2000s started? To my ear. I don't know.

I don't know how to answer that because I agree. Look, I think he's gone to the Joe Elliott School of Public Speech. No, no, no. Quite the opposite. What I was about to say was the opposite, which is like, look, there's a bunch of Taylor Swift that I like, but I wouldn't say that she's more influential on the history of music than the Beatles. I wouldn't say she's better than the Beatles at all. I, you know, I don't, we're just talking about in terms of, yeah, at this point.

Okay. It's fair. I mean, maybe I was just, maybe I was just too quick to the jump. Like it kind of like, I was like, come on, that's just outlandish. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I think she has the first billion dollar tour in history. Yeah. But she's charging, like, isn't she charging like more than what you have to pay for on the black market for kidneys and shit?

Well, she's not the aftermarket sellers are. There's nothing. It doesn't matter anyway, because as long as people are willing to pay it, then she's not overcharging. But she doesn't get that, like if someone's paying $1,000 for a ticket, she's not actually getting that, right? Or more than $1,000. She's just, that's the aftermarket, right?

There's a whole, well, there's a shady aftermarket that is basically, there's basically like an after, there's like, all right, so what they tried to do was there's like scalping, which is just people buying these tickets and selling them. And then I think that Ticketmaster Marketplace is like in some form or way, like a legal way for the artists to scalp their own tickets or something like that. Like to cut scalpers out. I don't understand it. So I don't think she's getting it all, but I do think there's a nice lift that goes

her way as well. She wasn't very vocal about that kind of stuff either. Like every once in a while, like say a Pearl Jam or Rage Against the Machine, they get all pissy because of these aftermarket sellers. So they like go out of their way to make sure that they can't do it or they price the ticket really low or something like that. Yeah. She does that thing where she saves the front rows for real fans and brings them from the

top down to the front. Whatever city she does a concert in, she does a lot of charity work there. She comes in, she looks... I think really she's just like kind of this force for good. And I do want to, like a little caveat to this. I do not want anybody upset. I'm not saying like, I know that her fans are fucking, like rabbit dogs. And I am not in no way saying that, you know, that I, she doesn't deserve every bit of

her success. She absolutely does. But I just found it strange though that like, almost like a hypnotizing way that like you have to say that she's like literally, well, it's Jesus and then Taylor Swift in terms of how big people are right now. And I guess Lenin said the same thing back in the 60s, all right? And he got some flack for it. But yeah. As of 2022, Taylor Swift says take a ticket

master fiasco, pisses her off. It's excruciating for her to just watch mistakes happen. And I guess, uh, yeah, she's mad that, um, that scalpers are able to do this. Do you think the people who are the most rabid of rabid Swifties, do you think they grow out of it at a certain point or do you think this is a lifelong devotion to like chasing down anybody who, and destroying anybody who may say something

negative about a, I'm talking about the most rabid ones. I'm not all Swifties are like that. Please, dear God, please. I don't want anybody coming after me Walt apology tour But you know, I mean I read on the internet there's some real ones that that the some Swifties are they're pretty intense Do you think that that's something that they move on to a different artist or you think their their devotion is for life? even when she's in her fifties.

Yeah, I think she's got a hooks in a lot of people for a long time. Or is it like, um, like any number of boy bands where it's like they have, they, they have that peak and then they come down to where like nobody's listening to them, but then they come back again because of nostalgia, because all these old ladies are like, Oh, I remember Joey for tone back in the day. But you don't think she'll get into the Madonna range of, at a certain point, when she gets to the Madonna age, she'll become the Madonna of her time though, where it's just not the same level of interest by the public, the media,

and maybe even the fan base or no, you don't think. Madonna is selling out Madison Square Garden in minutes. Okay, but does she have any kind of fan base that's going to do what her Swifties are reportedly doing? Does she have that kind of like, Svanguuli kind of spell? I'm sure she does. You know, it's an arc. It's like Brian said, there's an arc to a career, right? One day Taylor will be, I mean, look at Alanis Morissette. Remember how fucking big she was? Like she was everywhere.

Alanis Morissette? Oh yeah, yeah. Alanis Morissette. And now like, you don't really hear. Alanis Morissette. Oh yeah, yeah. Alanis Morissette. And now like, you don't really hear about Alanis Morissette much anymore, but I guarantee there, but she's still putting out albums and she still goes on tours. She still has fans. What about, wasn't before Taylor Swift, wasn't it Beyonce was the like, was the queen of entertainment? I mean, I just, I just really would like to clarify that you're talking to a 48 year old

guy who doesn't fucking know. Like, I don't, everything I'm saying is just... To me, you're like 20. To me, you're totally 20 in my eyes. I'm not an expert in any way. Like, I'm just like looking and seeing what I see. I don't know shit. I think Beyonce is another one that's like kind of floats above the general rules. But she's kind of, but she's kind of has to look up at Taylor now. Right. Well, she's won the most Grammys out of any artists in the history of the Grammys.

So what metric are we looking at it? These, you know what I'm saying? Right. Do you think that Taylor as a clipster or do you her? Or do you not like to answer that question? I think Taylor has eclipsed Beyonce. I don't, I think that would probably bother Beyonce. Yeah, I do. I do. Yeah. But if Beyonce, if I was Beyonce, I don't give a fuck. I'd be like, I'm Beyonce. Number two is fine, right? Number two is a great position.

Yeah, I would be like, I'm not even number two. I'm Beyonce, like go fuck yourself. Like, you know what I mean? That's, I think I would be comfortable saying that, but. Yeah, like you're going by one name. You're okay. You're doing all right. Although I don't know, what about Giddim?

Oh, he's got three. Yeah, oh yeah. Giddim Steve Dave. Four Giddim Steve Dave, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. That's interesting, Joe Elliott. Would say something. He probably just wants to become more relevant, right? Like if he says something nice about Tony Swift. I don't think that's how it works.

No? No. I don't think you just become more relevant. Like all the Swifties are going to go fucking go buy Def Leppard albums. Go buy some old Def Leppard shit. I don't think so. Well, they got to ballads and stuff. They used to be hard rocking like on through the night back in the 80s.

Oh, the Leppard? Yeah, Def Leppard. Oh yeah. Well, they got, I mean, they had their time, you know. Nothing lasts forever. Not even Swiftie will last forever. I really want this to blow up and get on TMZ or something, like three podcasters. I mean, nothing lasts forever.

It's not saying something that's outlandish. Somebody will eclipse her at some point. She will be eclipsed by somebody else just like every other artist, just like Elvis was eclipsed. It's just the nature of history. You can just look back on it and see it. That's not saying – But that doesn't mean that her career won't continue to be seismic.

Yeah, it always will be. Yeah. Well, you had a good point. Well, it made me think about it where you were saying, does every generation need something like this? Need like the one huge act, whether it be the Beatles or whether it be Madonna. I think there's always somebody has to fill that spot as the hugest thing in music. Somebody's got to fill a group of single artists.

That's my theory. These decisions are made by business people you think? No, I think the people, it's the only one of the few things that people have a real say in rising to the top. I think that's really, I mean they vote with what they want to listen to. You can't stop that. No. what they want to listen to. You can't stop that. No, it does speak to the power of little girls too. That's who Swifties are basically, girls between the ages of eight and 20, eight and 25, somewhere in there. Troy's daughter went

to the Swiftie concert and she got dressed up and she was, you know, college age and she got all dressed up and everybody else is dressed up. Like that's a big thing now, like when they go see, when women and girls go see the performers that they like, they like to dress up like as the person or in one, like I guess eras, the eras tour, like there's all different outfits that she wore during her tour so people would dress up in different costumes. Well, you didn't notice that I didn't wear sweatpants, I went to see Ace? different outfits that she wore during her tour so people would dress up in different costumes. Well, you didn't notice that I didn't wear sweatpants when I went to see Ace? Well, what were you wearing?

You weren't wearing jeans. I know that much. I put on my black cargo pants. I didn't. I meant to say – because we were in the office and I meant to say something and then I fucking forgot. Yeah. So I got dressed up too.

Ace, remember when you used to wear cargo pants all the time? You don't go fucking see Ace Fraley in fucking sweatpants. I didn't. I put on my respectable jeans. Yeah, I think it just makes it more fun to get dressed up and go to the concert, no? Does it? There's a line for me. I's like, it's like real pants. That line is cargo. And that's it. Like anything else, it's just too much. It's just too much weight for me to fucking carry if I got to fucking also put

on a collared shirt or something. But think about it though, but think about what you just said. You basically dress up for the concert to the best of your ability. You went to the limit for ACE. I did. So that's what these girls are doing. Their limits just a little bit past yours is all, but it's the same fervor. It's the same fucking need to be in those cargo pants in front of ACE.

You know what I mean? It's just your version of it. I think it's beautiful. Could ACE fraily write the greatest album of all time and release it and eclipse Taylor Swift? Is it possible or is it just like, no, he has to sell? Does Taylor Swift sing it? Does he literally have to sell his soul to the devil for that to happen?

Is there a chance that a guy like Ace Fraley could just pen the fucking greatest album in mankind's history and could it eclipse her popularity just for a month or two? Or is that sheer – I mean anything's possible. Why not? I'd love to see it. I would too. Or if they have the most unlikely duet.

How pisses Gene Simmons. Like if ACE just rockets to the top, Gene can't take it. Right? Uh, I think there's three people in that band that can't take it. We were talking about football before and I taught Sage how to bet. She knows how to bet now. But I was wondering if I'm doing it the right way because we play Uno. I can't imagine. If this is leading into a fucking ad.

Oh, no, it's not. It's commercial free. I was going to say. I can't imagine that whatever that fucking site is that pays us is once a lead in of you teaching a minor how to bet. Not only that, she keeps losing. No, she likes to play. We like to play UNO, so I challenge her all the time.

And then the other day, she wanted to order dinner. She loves ordering dinner. She loves cheeseburgers from this one place. So I said, uh, all right. I said, we'll play, we'll have a bet. She's like, what's that? And I said, well, it's, you know, basically, you know, what a bet is. And I said, if I win Rosie, you know, Marybeth has to make dinner

just like any other night, but if you win, we get to have, you can order. And so she said, okay. And then it turned into if either Marybeth or Sage wins, we get to order. So it's now two against three. The statistically, the odds are stacked against me. Yeah. I win three games the first time and I'm like, sorry, but you know, she has to make dinner and then we played again yesterday and I won again. Now statistically, now this should not be happening. And I'm like, sorry, but you know, she has to make dinner. And then we played again yesterday and I won again.

Now statistically, now this should not be happening. I shouldn't be winning this much, like especially me against both of them. And I almost threw the game for yesterday. And then I was like, you know what? Let her learn. That'll learn. Learn. Cause eventually what's going to happen is I'm going to start losing all these games in a row and we're going to be ordering like crazy.

So she'll show her day will come. But I was wondering, is that, uh, is that setting a bad example? If I, if I throw the game to, uh, to let her win or does she need to learn to. In a world where I felt a little bad, that defeat is just around the corner for all of us. Is there like why on earth do you want to teach her that – like you can make – like set home like her win. I don't know. I don't know.

She's been winning her whole fucking life this kid. Everybody likes her. Everything turns up. But did she get bit or something like that? She did. That girl didn't seem to like her. Yeah. The one who better. Yeah.

We ever talked about that. Did we talk about that on the show queue? No, what happened? She got bits. Yeah. She was at school. Well, she wasn't at school. Like they go out on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

They go out to like a work site and, uh, they do little tasks and jobs that they're assigned. So she was at lunch and she got ketchup on her pants and this other girl kept like touching the ketchup spot on her pants. And she told, from what this is what I was told. Uh, she asked her like, can you stop that? And the girl freaked out and bit her on the chest. And, uh, it was a nasty bite too, like I saw it.

And it was a friend of hers, somebody she's been going to school with since, you know, probably fifth grade. But just in that moment, didn't want to be told not to touch the ketchup stain. And then the school won't tell you anything about it either. You're like, well, who did it? They're like, well, we can't say. And we knew who did it because Sage told us. And then we talked to the mom of the girl who did it and she was like, they wouldn't

tell me who she bit. Why do you think that is? I asked Rupert and he said that like, they're not allowed to say shit about anybody at school. Like even if, even if somebody assaults your child, they won't tell you who did it. They won't tell you who did it. Yeah. I found that to be pretty surprising. That's shocking.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess it has to be like a newsworthy story that has a viral video that goes along with it. And then you get to find out, but otherwise, yeah, they, uh, they would not say anything about it. I thought it was strange. Yeah. So did her and a friend make up? Is this? They made up, yeah. They made up and they're buddies again.

Yeah, well then all's well that ends well. Yeah. But this is the same school that like, you know, like they're like keep hammering home. That's her snoring. They keep hammering at like, you know, Sage feeling safe at school with the other stuff with the like, you know, the ghosts under the bed and all the other bullshit that she was talking and the question was like, well, how is she supposed to feel safe at school if people are attacking and biting her and she's there? She's like, no, no, she's safe there. It's like, no, she's not.

She is not by definition. She's not, she's safe there. It's like, no, she's not. She is not by definition. She's not, she just got a taxi. Yeah. Yeah. But you want to be, you want to be careful. Look, you know, Sage goes in and tells school that, you know, you're fucking betting and taking her and making her lose, you know, four straight times so you can turn the tables on you.

That's true. She's being abused at home by betting, but they want to know everything. They want to know if you have guns in the house, access to guns. Yeah, they can ask you. But they can't tell you, they can't tell you who bit her, but they can tell you a better. Yeah. No. Wow.

Yeah. I thought that was, uh, I thought that was strange. Uh, Walt, I went back based on, uh, I just, I went back based on a conversation we had last week or rewatched the newer Planet of the Apes to get ready for the new one, for the fourth one that's coming out. Dude, how could the old Planet of the Apes be better than these? Every one of these were fucking great, those three. They were really good, but are you familiar with the old ones too or no?

Anytime I've seen the old ones, I always just thought they were kind of corny but man like this is These were fucking excellent, man. I forgot how good for war for the planet to the apes was man. It was unbelievable It's really they are really good. But are you sure you gave the originals a fair shot a fair shake that you're like These are corny There was no corn in any of those movies Isn't he kissing a monkey in one? fair shake that you're like, these are corny. There was no corn in any of those movies. Isn't he kissing a monkey in one? I don't know.

What you mean Taylor kissing zero. Is it? I mean, yeah, I mean, that's always, I remember as a kid watching that and being like progressive for its time. Uh, why he's kissing an animal. All right. Um, yeah, I, I agree with you. Those, those new eight movies I feel are. Criminally underrated in terms of like giving respect to the original

franchise and, and really not, you know, disrespecting or doing anything but honoring the original and really elevating the new stuff. And they don't get a lot of credit for that. They're kind of forgotten those movies. I don't, that's the reason I brought it up because I was like, I can't believe these aren't talked about more. The third one is amazing. It's more of a prison break movie than fucking

any. I was like, you're spending more than half the movie in a prison. I was like, this is fucking unbelievable. Dude, I was so, and I had seen it before and I was so fucking into it that I was just like on the edge of my seat, like fucking like whole, you know, I was getting worried and stuff like that. I'd seen the movie. I, it was blown fucking away and I was like, I can't see how the originals are better than this. I can't. Well, I think you've got to sit down and watch them and give them a fair shot there. I mean, you can't deny that the original has the most shocking M-Lite shimani ending ever. When, you know, when the Statue of Liberty. I mean, no one saw that shit coming.

That was the granddaddy of M. Sheit-Milan, whatever that guy's name is. Sure. I get that. Right? I mean, that was- That's accurate. That was the guy who, like, you know, they did it first and they did it. I don't know if there's been a more like shocking ending or like twist ending, like

gut punch than that Statue of Liberty. Nobody saw that coming. I bet you that. I bet you people were like, catonic in the theater as the credits rolled with that fucking after seeing that. When they didn't know about it, pre-internet, you know, then you walked in, you saw that. That had to be like chilling. Yeah, you know, you walked in you saw that that had to be like Chilling. Yeah, you're right. I could see it. How many how many eight movies are there five in the original run five five?

And they're all good or light. Just watch the I think the first one is a masterpiece I think the second one is so strange that you'll love it. It's so weird Charlton Heston didn't want to do it And so he only is in it for a couple moments of the film and they get a lookalike strange, that you'll love it. It's so weird. Charlton Heston didn't want to do it, and so he only is in it for a couple moments of the film and they get a lookalike astronaut to come in. Not that it kind of looks like him, a younger version of him. He's not playing Heston in the movie, but it's another handsome guy that hooks up with Nova, the savage chick Nova.

Escape is just the most underrated of them all where they come to the present time Where I gotta watch him Right, they blow up the world and yet the end of us beneath the planet apes They literally blow it up But dates but the monkeys take a zip take a rocket ship and go back in time just as the earth blows up to our time Okay, it's so the science fiction is on like, if you love comics, you will fall in love with these movies. They are the first, I believe, walking, talking, motion pictures for comic book geeks.

They are. They're really well done. They're slower though. I'm going to cop to that. They does take – I know you're 20, but you have to try to have some patience, you whippersnapper, because they don't have the same level of like kinetic fucking energy and something's happening at all times. They pace it out.

They pace it out. And conquest is great too. That's the third, fourth? That's the fourth one. And the last one's not that great. It's called Battle for the Planet of the Apes. And the budget was fucking third, like the cut by a third. They got, the makeup's not good on all the apes in the background.

You could see the rubber masks and there's, there's not a, they didn't have the same level of budget to do it. And they kind of like phoned it in. But one through four, I dig. What about the TV show? I love the TV show, but I may only love it because I grew up on it. I may have a soft spot for it that I'm neglecting that, that it wasn't that great because I love it because I remember growing up on it.

And where does it take place in the timeline? Cause I think the TV show is really my only growing up was my only real, aside from seeing the first movie at some point. They basically just take the concept. Yeah. That an astronaut went, went into the past, the two astronauts go into the past. They wind up in the past, they wind up in the future and they're trying to figure shit out.

But there's no- So it's a reboot? Yeah, basically, yeah. Okay, okay. All right, well thank you for the history lesson on it. I'm going to watch the first one tonight. It's good. And also, you know what, you to think back to that the era was released

with the civil rights and everything. And it was, it was like playing on two different levels. They were making statements that. You know, we're very deep and of its time and, but using the role of man and apes for, you know, the current world events, you know, the parallels. Right. And Heston's a bomb. You know, Heston, you gotta love Charlton Heston, right?

Uh, yeah. You know, I don't have that love from that, that, uh, well, what is Charlton Heston's big hits besides apes? Ooh, earthquake. Um, the omega man. Omega man. Right. Right. Um, was he in that Bible movie?

Oh yeah. Ben. Oh yeah. The 10th commandments. That's he's fucking, oh my gosh, man. Everybody wants to fucking get with fucking Heston after the 10 commandments. Oh, who was he? Moses?

He was like the first action hero, man. Yeah, I get it. And I understand this place in history, but I don't think I've ever been like, yeah, Heston's my man type of thing. Like Eastwood, I would say is more my type than Heston. I, I'm going to call it right here right now. If BQ is going to have chills up and down his back when Heston fucking delivers the fucking line, especially after you give it, you watch the whole movie when he goes, get your fucking

damn dirty paws off me, you damn dirty ape. I'm sure he said damn and dirty. He didn't say it twice because that was- He didn't say it twice because that was- He didn't say fucking either. Oh, but it's delivered so well. He should have got the Academy for that. Just that line here. So well done here.

Great, great stuff. All right. I'm going to, I mean, these three were so good. I'm going to jump back in. I'll give it a shot. I'll give it a shot. I'll give it a shot. When's the new one come out? Next week.

I'll be there. Yeah, next week. Oh, I'll definitely be there, man. Between that and the Fall Guy, you guys, I can't wait for the fucking Fall Guy, man. I feel like they're starting to make movies kind of fun again. I look at that Fall Guy trailer and I'm like, all right, this looks like I shut my brain off and fucking watch some funny shit for a couple hours. This is what I'm talking about. Did you watch the show?

When I was a kid? Yeah, that I did watch. I did not watch. I don't have any experience with the fall guy. So maybe that's why it kind of like goes over my head. I have no excitement. Oh, I don't have any reverence for it. I'm not like, let's see what Easter eggs they get in this movie. I literally like, I just, I watched that trailer and I'm like, this looks like they're having so much fun in this movie. That's what I want to say. Yeah. I don't care about, although it's not a bad idea for a TV show, a guy who's a stunt man, who at night is a private detective. I mean, that sounds like a pretty good fucking setup to me. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'm into that. Yeah. He was, that sounds like a pretty good fucking setup to me. You know? Yeah. I'm into that.

Lee Mages, man. Yeah, he was- Lee Mages. Yeah. He's in this too. I guess he makes a cameo. After leaving the business one year earlier, battle scarred stuntman Colt Sievers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. Right. And it's a two-hour and five-minute comedy. That's long. Are you worried that it's a two hour and five minute comedy.

That's long. Are you worried that's a comedy? No, I like, I'm excited that it's a comedy. Yeah. That's what I mean. I just want to have fucking fun. You know what I mean? Give me, give me goofy fun.

No lessons. I don't want to learn any lessons in the fall guy. I just want to, I just want to watch an idiot blunder through a case. Like that's all I want. Did you catch Dune too? No, I didn't. No. Okay.

Uh, the first Dune I didn't really hit with me. I thought it was good. I thought the second one was good too. Yeah. They're not fun though. I would not, I would not use the word fun to describe them though. They're pretty bleak and super serious and super grim. But I like that too.

Yeah, I'm into that. I'm in the mood to sink my teeth into nonsense. I hear you. You're a Ryan Gosling fan? I mean, he's yet to let me down from the fucking notebook all the way up. You know, actually I didn't like La La Land that much, but aside from that, uh, yeah, the guy has yet to let me down. He's my favorite part of Barbie.

So I'm fucking in. Yeah. He was good in Barbie. He was so good at Barbie. You're just like, how does a guy have this much talent? It's crazy. Bastard. And at first I'm trying to convince myself that

those were not his real abs. Oh, those are his abs. Yeah, I know. Yeah. I was like, it can't be. Those are his fucking abs. It can't be. I was told the other day that I was putting Mary Beth off because I was paying attention to her. I decided like, because a lot of times I find myself not listening to what she's saying because she tends to babble about shit. So I'm like, all right, you know what? I'm going to start listening because a lot of times I get caught where she's like,

you know what? I'm like, what? What are you talking about? Yeah. And so I paid attention to her the other day and she goes, stop. I go, what do you mean stop? And she goes, just don't like look at me when I'm talking to her the other day and she goes, stop. I go, what do you mean stop? She goes, just don't look at me when I'm talking to you like that. I was like, what? I'm paying attention.

She goes, I know I'm not used to it. I actually put her off because I was making a determined effort to listen to her. What was the conversation that you were paying attention to? It was something about her mom. I don't run a river. Was it frivolous or was it important? It always is. She likes to babble and just like she'll, it's almost like she's talking to herself,

but you happen to be in the room. So you're held accountable. Dude, I think you married Pam. Oh, think more on the money. Well, as we learned last week, I sucked on both their tits. You would, I mean, Freud, what's that guy? Oh, Freud. Freud, you would be his prize fucking study.

I think, yeah, I think you'd have a field day with you. You'd be in a coat together talking about moms. Yeah, I think you're right. field day with you. If you could get a coat together talking about moms. Yeah, I think you're right. What'd you say? So what's the solution here? If you can't win listening and you can't win not listening. I would not listen then. It's the, has to be resistance, right?

Just don't listen. I'm not going to be quizzed on any of this shit anyway, so it doesn't really matter. But what if you were to institute or not institute, what if you were, um, start a deep conversation? What if it was like paying attention isn't just about listening to rattle about her mom, but like asking her opinions on world events and philosophical. We would not know a goddamn thing about world events. Julie knows what I walk around the house yelling about.

That's where she gets all her news. You like the town crier. Can you believe this shit? Oh, it sounds good. No, it does sound very much like you're still in the honeymoon period to me. What do you got going on, Q? You got anything of any good, anything happened in the past week or anything you're looking forward to coming up? Really just the Planet of the Apes and Fall guys. Pretty much it will be, Q. We got the Radio City, got this, that, the other thing.

No, not really, man. I'm just in that thing where my head's down and I'm working. No, no. This is really no time for love, as they say. Not really, man. I'm just in that thing where my head's down and I'm working. No, no. This is really no time for love, as they say. Said. Yeah, it's tough. It sounds like all three of us are struggling for a worthy podcast fucking discussions.

I got to do something. I just got to do something. I can't talk about it. Well, we will talk about Radio City next week. Yes, BQ can talk about it. We can stretch it out in a week. How can we talk? We sat in the audience and watched. I'm hoping I get attacked outside radio. Something to talk about. Some panhandler hits me over the

head, whatever. You guys, there's so much to talk about. How could you feel that way? Okay, I guess that's it then. There's so much to talk about. How could you, how could you feel that way? Okay. I guess that's it then. Yeah. Well, now we're off to, yeah, now we're off to meet, uh, we're going to, we're going to work on more of a bride tries right after we sign off here. No, don't reveal it.

I won't reveal it. Yeah. So should I say, tell them Steve Dave? I mean, uh, yeah, I guess that's usually what comes next. Tell them Steve Dave, I mean. Yeah, I guess. I guess. That's usually what comes next. Tell them Steve Dave. We're sorry.
