Episode Date: May 12, 2025

Q goes to the Kentucky derby, Bry goes to Vegas (maybe), reacher, Ming’s standup is evaluated, git em is back in trouble.

How the fuck can you say you're a fan? And fucking butcher that name up in- Dude, I'm the one that told you to watch it! I gotta make that fucking get him Johnson porn quick. No, that's it. Good night. Thank you for coming. Tell them Steve, Dave. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them Steve, Dave. You ready to pod wall? You ready to pod motherfucker?

Today's one of those days I'm not ready. Oh no, you're not? Yeah. We got Patreon later too. I know. We got to later too. I know. We got to lean on BQ today because he should have major stories. He's all around the world. He should bring us plenty of bountiful-

I don't know why you're saying all that. Interesting. I don't have anything. Stories. They have to be more interesting than what we're doing though. Why? What are you guys doing? We're not going to derbies.

I know that much. We didn't go. No, we didn't see you there. The Kentucky Derby? Finally, after all these years, I got to go. It was a lifelong. No, it's just ever since Hunter S. Thompson wrote about it when I was young, I was always like, oh, you just hear about it. It's one of those cultural things you always kind of hear about. Oh, I saw the red carpet. I don't know if that's what they call it. There was a lot of celebrities there. Who did you hobnob with?

There was some heavy hitters down there, man. Yes. Yeah, heavy hitters. Mainly, we were sat next to Travis Tritt, the country western guy and his family. All right. Did he perform? He performed. His daughter performed. She did an unbelievable version of Next Time He Cheats, that song.

It was, but I was there with Fatone. So I was there with a member of NSYNC. So right away I'm doing all right in that department. But really, Travis's family was sitting to the right of us. Then to the left, I had Blair Underwood, who's an actor. And they've all been going for 20 years. They go and they sit at the same tables, not Blair Underwood, Travis Tritton, Fatone and so they're like really – they have like a down.

So it was just – it was pretty amazing. They just kind of adopted me into it and showed me a good time. Real southern hospitality was real. Okay. I've heard it. I've heard it. You were dressed like a southern gentleman. So they should have extended it. Yeah, it was great.

Yeah. You have to dress up for the derby. That was fun. One day for some pink dress. It's just such a decadent – it's pretty crazy to be in the middle of all those. You start hearing how much outfits cost. I was wearing a seersucker suit that cost me like 400 bucks, right? You hear some of the suits that people are wearing and you're like, holy fuck, that guy's wearing like a $20,000 suit and this woman had a $10,000 dress. It's like in the

middle of all this decadence, man, where you're like, this is nuts. This is crazy. Hey, there's BQ. There's me on the red carpet. Stars strutting down. Oh, Kentucky Colonel pin. I was given the respect afforded me as a Kentucky Colonel.

Were you? In that, people called me Colonel from time to time. Yeah, that's about it. But what a well-oiled machine down there, man. It was real impressive to see the horses and watch the race and lose. I lost a lot of money, Walt. Really? What were you basing your bets on?

Just names of horses. If there was a Dorff Vader, I went ahead and bet on that one. Tried to go for some long shots. It didn't really work out. How much are we talking about? What's a lot of money in BQ? I'm probably down like in the end, maybe $1,100. Okay. It is a lot of money. Yeah, it felt like a lot of money to me. I wasn't always. Sometimes I was up $500, then

I'd be down $400, and then you hit you down $1,000. That's when my stomach starts to hurt. I'm like, why am I here? They don't chase it and you're like, all right, I got to win that back. That was that one last bet. It was a hundred dollar bet on a long shot. I was like, I'll win this one and that did not come through either. But there were people around me who were winning 20 grand or one guy won 40 something grand or something like that.

It just happens all around you. I wonder how much you got about to win 40 grand though. It's just the right horse. The right horse with the right combo. Some people are putting down like – all my bets were like $20, $10 here and there and every once in a while I would take a big swing. But man, I didn't do so well. How long does the day last?

How long are you there for? What a great question. It's a long time. It's two days time. I was going to say, can I? It's two days. Two days? It's the, there's the Oaks, Kentucky Oaks race is on Friday and that's an all female race with all female horse race that benefits breast cancer. So you go to that.

Can I ask you a question? I don't know if you know it though. I, when you, that really piqued my interest. So when you see a horse race, like the, let's say the more popular horse races, are they all males? I don't know. It's a great question. I'm sure Gidham could look that up for you. I don't know. Because you said it's an all female race. Is that to lead me to believe that the male horse is the dominant? Maybe. I mean, most likely.

But I took it. The faster of the sexes? I would imagine likely. But I took it – Faster of the sexes? I would imagine they are, but I also took it as – You're waiting in dangerous territory here, Walt. No, no. I'm just proving my point with horses. But it was – did I miss something? You went over Blue Origin last week. Okay. Okay. So they do it as like a – not a gimmick, but like as a thing for breast

cancer and you have to wear pink that first day somewhere on you. So that's when I had like a, or your pink mehundies. Pink pussy hats. No, pink pants. Pink pants. Nice smart blazer and a Derby hat, like an old Western, like, yeah, it was like Marty McFlyward part three, like, like that sort of thing. It was fun. Then

from there, you go to a restaurant, but then there's a charity thing that night called the Barn Stable Brown, which is apparently this big party that's been going on there for decades. It's like one of the big things. Oh, hey buddy. Then that's just like – it's weird. It's like this mansion in the middle of this neighborhood in Kentucky and it's thrown by the original double mint twins. Like the two girls – From the fucking bubblegum commercial?

Yeah. It's like apparently there's – From the 70s? There's Southern heirs or something like that. There's still – Spear mint twins, right? Or what were they called? Yeah, double mint twins. The double mint twins. Wow. They're still. Spearman twins, right? Or are they, what were they called? Yeah, the doubleman twins.

The doubleman twins. Wow. They were like, they were attractive. Yeah. You know, they're in the sixties, but they still kind of got it. Like they, and they're very welcoming and, and they, they have this big party and it's in the middle of a neighborhood. It's like, as if one of your part, your neighbors were like, we're throwing the biggest party.

They put up tents in the yard, all this band playing. That's where all the musicians got up and did songs and stuff. They have to invite all their neighbors because if they don't, it's all hell and worse. Otherwise, it's bad form. All the people around the neighborhood wait at the front door because it's got a gated entrance. Then as the celebrities get out of the car, all the neighbors that live in the neighborhood and stuff cheer for you and stuff like that. It's like, it's all, yeah, it's like a whole thing.

I could see why people love going and that's it. Yeah. That's the mansion. I just thought back it up a little bit. I got my sauce on the Tom Brady. Yeah. That includes Tom Brady. He was kind of, was he there?

Uh, he was not there this year. His brother. Oh, it was this is from 2017. I thought he only had sisters. There was somebody there. There was, there was a big NFL. There was a big NFL. Joe Burrow. No, I don't know about my brother. I thought he only had sisters. No, there was somebody there. There was a big NFL. There was a big NFL. Joe Burrow?

No, I can't remember. I won't remember because you're also drinking all fucking day. Is that free alcohol or is he going to be? Oh yeah. Where it was was there was all these different sections and the sections we were in were bought out by charities. So as long as you're there supporting the charity, which I was, then they let you into that section where it's open bar and food and stuff.

Okay. So it's not anybody for anybody attending, it's not free alcohol, just a certain segment. Oh no, anybody attending, I'm sorry, I was talking about the derby. At that party is totally free alcohol, totally free food. It's like a free for all. But it's great. It's just a fun time. Everybody gets up like two songs, does like two songs. That's it. They build all those tents around the house. It's a cool looking house. Yeah, it's pretty dope.

You do well for yourself being a twin and chewing gum. You sure do, man. It looks nice over there. That's it. That's the entrance that you go into and then all the neighbors are standing on the lawn to the left and right of that and they announce you when you get out of your car. Oh, yeah? Yeah. They're like, you when you get out of your car. Oh yeah? Yeah.

They're like, you know, get to it. From a prong, we'll go get scooped up. I was very happy with the reaction I got. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Because it had gone the other way. Yeah, you never know. People like crickets. It's like Ricky DeVace when he comes out on the stage.

I don't know if these people are going to know who I am. But we did okay. We did okay. We did okay. I got to meet her, Simone Biles. She was very nice, only for a quick second. Yeah, so it was like that was Friday. That goes to like two in the morning.

The next day, you're back at the race to beat traffic there. You're there by 10.30. You don't leave there until 9 o'clock at night, 9, 10 at night. Then you go to another wrap-up party. It's all day. Everybody dressed up fancy and everybody's just gambling and having fun. It is a lot of fun. Definitely a younger me would have been a little bit more. I come around 6 o'clock after a day of drinking and I'm like, oh God, let me get back to my hotel.

But I was a trooper while they stuck through it, but it felt like something I had never done before. Would you do it again? Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I would do it again. I wouldn't like, you're not going to catch me like trying to make it happen, but if I get the invite to go down there, I would very, very happily go. Yeah, it was gorgeous, man.

He looked very fancy on the red carpet. I started to think, I wonder, are we losing him? This fancy guy. Next step is the Met Gala. If we see him at the Met Gala, we know we got trouble. What's the Met Gala? I don't know that. It's like once a year, it's like all these really – you have to be famous and or rich

and or famous and rich to get invited to this party and everybody dresses up what they call stylishly but it's absurd. We're not. We're not famous enough and we're not Hollywood cool enough. Yeah, you have to be really cool. You have to be like a Kardashian. A super fucking cool Hollywood in kid to get there. In fact, if I got invited, I wouldn't go all, oh, come on.

What do you think of that? I think it's like 25 grand to get in or something Yeah, but what do you do when you're there though, I think hobnob probably a fashion shows and shit like that, you know Yeah, I've never actually heard what goes on inside the gala. It's always about the red carpet. Mm-hmm. Where is it usually held? New York, right? It's in the Metropolitan Museum. Metropolitan Museum. Yeah, I think it's in the Metropolitan Museum. That's why they call it the Met. How much partying can you do in a museum, though? It's usually very stodgy.

It depends on what section they open up for you, I guess. Lady Gaga was there? I'm sure she was. She was definitely on that end crowd. Still. Lady Gaga? Yeah, still. Oh, I think she's at this point in her career where she's like- Joker didn't hurt her? Joker too?

No. I think she's like Madonna at this point. She's just there. I saw a video of her in, I think it was Brazil. It's a sea of people. It was like two million people. Yeah. Yeah, it was like two million people. It's just you cannot, you can't see the edges, you can't see the back. It's just people, the carpet of people. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I haven't heard her name since Joker. I didn't know if like she got-

It's like this kind of stuff I don't get. She's got an album that came out. Yeah. You're like, but hey man, you know, she's trying. Yeah. It was like Inspector Gadget. Yeah. Yeah. So. But it was fun. Fucking the horses were cool, man. You know Phantom Fireworks? Yeah. The guy who throws the biggest party there is the guy who owns Phantom Fireworks.

That's wild. You would think the two industries that you would never think could generate a millionaire. Chewing gum and fireworks. Millionaire is not the right word for the fireworks guy. Everybody's very – the second he walks away, they're like, that guy's worth $30 billion. And I'm like, from fucking fireworks? And they're like, yeah, yeah. I'm sure he's got other businesses and stuff.

Yeah, like how come someone doesn't take it – like how come that's not somebody else like can get into the fireworks game you would think. Like why does he have such a stranglehold on it? Maybe you wake up with the fucking fuse in your bed, you know what I mean? But he was very nice, you know, he was fine. I mean look, the guy let me come into his party, something like this is great. I love this guy. You didn't accuse him of having monopoly on the firework industry.

No. So the rest of us are trying to get in on it. No, nothing like that. I felt very out of place. You did? Yeah. Really? Did alcohol help that though? Oh yeah, the alcohol helped. And I was here with friends, but like the friends all knew each other already, you

know, for 20 something years and everybody understood the ins and outs of it. And, and, and just the vibe of it is something I'm not used to. Is it more sophisticated? Is that why you're like, is it more like, or you don't, you're not going to see somebody like take their shirt off? No, you're not going to see that. Not, we're not in the, not in the stands at we're out. Like you could go to a cannonball or something into the pool. I'm sure you – because there's like all these seats. Or vomit.

There's a great center field. In the center field is like basically mud pit standing where people could buy like tickets and just go watch it from the inside of the track. I think that's where like the Brian Quinns of the world belong. There are people out there like dressed like the Brian Queens of the world belong. Yeah. There were people out there like dress like the Pope drinking and stuff like that. It was like a little wilder in the, in the infield of it all. But that's where I belong, but I was not, I was in the, I was in the upper crust. Oh yeah. But, but having a, but really, you know,

so I did feel out of place for a lot of it. You know, my fair lady thing going, huh? Yeah. And except nobody tried to make it pretty myself, but it was nice. But they, I mean, you know, I had never really met any of those people before. And Travis Ritz family was just so lovely. It was unbelievable. Yeah.

So it was wild. It was good, but I wouldn't say anything. I don't have any real stories aside from the general experience of being in an environment I had never been in before and having fun and losing money, getting to wear a seersucker. Not many occasions where you get to wear that. I don't know. I think I want to change that. Yeah?

Yeah, I think I want to change that. I think I want to start wearing that bad boy around. I bought it. Got it. Had it tailored. Might. I bought it. Got it. Had a talent. Might as well do it. Work your way up to a $20,000 suit. I don't know about that, but it's weird because it's so fancy and so it's so fancy and so like upper crust. And then everybody just starts drinking immediately. And it just like turns into like this equalizes

everyone. Well, everybody's like just kind of sauced and having fun and you're like, Oh, it's like, it's this weird high brow, low brow mix at once. But it was kind of, it was kind of really fun though. Like nobody was in a bad mood, no fights, no, you know what I mean? It was just straight up like everybody was respectful of each other. Everybody was having a good time. That's why you got no stories though. Yeah, you're right.

You should have pulled the Germany, man. Got into a fight, got your tooth knocked down or something. Yeah. Yeah. You would have asked back. Just get thrown out. You were there for a charity, right? Yeah, for a charity.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were for a charity. So it was fun, but it was good. And then, do you see Thunderbolts yet? Did not, you? I have not, but I really want to. Yeah, I've heard really good things about it. Yeah, I have not.

I went to see Gene Simmons play in Red Bank last year. Did you go? Yeah. I got a ticket from Rup for Christmas, so it had been a long time since I had a ticket. And finally, the date came around, and this is only the second show that came to fruition. He had canceled like eight shows. So there was speculation that he wasn't even going to pull off this show because there was another show that he did.

He only did six songs and left the stage. Was he sick? No, I don't know. I think the weather was a problem. So but… But how does that affect six shows? Oh, I guess if it's an outdoor venue. Did I say six songs? Six songs, sorry. Six songs. Six songs because the weather got bad and he had to leave the stage.

He's like, how many six songs does my contract say I have to play? Six? We'll just keep going. Now, anybody who is familiar with Gene Simmons doesn't realize how massive his ego has to be, right? I mean, it's off the chart. It's like probably – I don't know if Trump and him could fit in any room together, right? I mean, they have to be the two biggest egos on the planet.

When you think you're also funny, that is a fucking horrific combination. He doesn't know funny. Oh man, it was fucking, the secondhand embarrassment from the shit he was saying on stage was just cringe. Is it almost worth the price of admission? It was awesome. It was a great show and he sounds, I mean, I'll give him props for his voice still sounds good, but. I told you he said he didn't sing anymore.

When I saw him with Sunday Jeff, you were like, it's like his voice. That was Paul. Paul. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you saw two imposters in the Space Man and the Catman. So really.

Well, I saw with Sunday Jeff, buddy. But he probably could have played 10 more songs if not for the insane diversions he would have or he would just start talking and try to tell jokes. Like wow, what's an example? Like he tried to tell a joke about some lady going backstage at a football game. She was a reporter and she was talking to a cheerleader. He was setting up, this setup of the joke took 10 minutes it felt like. I didn't know if he was like, okay, he's trying to catch his breath or I don't know what's going on. His fingers hurt from playing the bass too hard. I don't know why he needs this much time, but the punchline was somebody came out and gave him a glass and when he drank it before the punchline, whereas the cheerleader told

the news reporter the reason she's so popular with the band is, and then he took a drink, a swig out of the cup, and then he sped out all this milk to signify that she had a mouthful of cum. And this landed so flat. Does this kind of stuff still play? I mean, people don't even understand what was going on. Maybe I didn't tell the story correctly, but he was basically setting up a joke where the cheerleader had a mouthful of cum and then he drank milk and then spit it all out.

I even said to Rupp, I was like, wow, man, he's went from spitting blood on stage to now fucking spitting fake cum. This is not the direction you ought to go in. Thanks for the gift asshole. I want my money back. It was awesome. It was great. It could be a phenomenal, phenomenal show if he just would play the deep cuts, play the songs that have never been performed live that people love,

the old school shit, don't play the covers of, you know, of Beatles songs that no one's ever heard of, Van Halen songs that no one's ever heard of. And just stick to his catalog because he's got such a deep catalog. And stop telling jokes, man. Stop telling jokes. It's just not – It's not going to work. Who's the guy that's going to tell him that? Gene, you're not funny. The cum joke isn't going over. It's the eighth show.

Nobody's laughing. Then he makes jokes that if they don't land the first time, he'll fucking keep hammering them home. Oh, yeah. Yeah, much like get them. He thinks that the audience didn't hear it even though he's on mic. Come, ladies and gentlemen, come. Hello, is there anybody out there? He brings people up on stage, just random people up on stage that just kill so much

time. Yeah. I figured out who he looks like. It drove me fucking bonkers all night long. I'm like, who does he fucking look like? Somebody I know, somebody I know, and then I realized who it is. He looks like Telly Savalas in a wig. He does?

Yeah. Huh. I finally figured out who it is. He looks like Telly Savalas in a wig. Gene does? Yeah. Huh. I finally figured out who... Wow. He looks like Kojak in a... I didn't see that one coming. No, me neither. Yeah. It finally hit me. By an hour into the concert, I was like, oh, fuck. Telly in a

wig. That's who I keep seeing up there. He has these ladies and of course the people who are at his concert are a little on the other side of 50, I would think. Sure. Yeah. So when you're bringing up girls like, I only want girls, I only want girls. So when the girls come up, they're far from girls. They're like, they're women.

Healthy, mature ladies. They're mature women. They're done spitting out milk. But of course he has to tell the joke, grab that mic, grab that mic. You know how to hold it. You know how to hold it. And he does the jerk off motion and he didn't say it once. He doesn't say it twice.

He says it like four or five times. He's that guy. He's that fucking relative that … You don't fight over. Yeah. On Christmas and Thanksgiving, you're just like... You just dread it if he gets going. He'll listen to anything your uncle says. Yeah. Yeah. But it was fun and it was interesting. And the guy who paid 12 grand to be the roadie, he just brought him up on

stage constantly and kind of berated him. I guess in a way that he thinks is funny. Like he's my slave. Like, yeah, you know, you got to move my mic up, tune the guitar, kind of like breaking his balls a little bit on stage. But then he brings it out with his son. His son's like 17. Sounds better than the Derby. He starts going into like – you think he's setting up a joke because he's like, this

man raised this son and I want everybody to give this man a round of applause. He's a father. He's a father who gave – instilled in his son two important lessons. What are those lessons? The father goes, no drugs and no alcohol. He's like, this is a good father. You think he's leading up to something and he goes, I want another round of applause for this man because he's a good father.

Then he's going like that and suddenly Gene goes on to a thing about, that's what you need, no drugs, no alcohol. All right, here's cold gin. Is he doing it on purpose to be – he can't be that unself-aware that he's just going into a now song about alcohol. Right. And a song where it's like Ace had a problem. Yeah. And he didn't sell any merch, which was weird.

Really? That's surprising. I had a whole of my fucking pocket ready to buy some merch of a burning fucking thing. What a missed opportunity. I was going to get a t-shirt, no merch. The merch table said there will be no merch at this show. I wonder if it's because like I know the Basie takes a lot of big cut of the merchandise. So maybe they were like, fuck it, we're not giving you that much money. Oh, right.

Yeah. Tonight he's in Montclair. So if you got nothing to do, Q. I can't. I'm working tonight. Tonight, shoot tonight. All right I can't. I'm working tonight. Tonight shoot tonight. Sal punishment. I'm excited. S1 Okay. Well, I mean, if you can maybe get out of there early, you can maybe catch the

last half hour. Q I had a big weekend, man. I just get home and nap it out. S1 Well, I mean, if this helps, I mean, he does do the come joke late in the show, so maybe you still can catch that. Q Okay. So hold on. Well, I mean if this helps, I mean he does do the come joke late in the show, so you still can't. Okay, so hold on. Apparently he did the same joke because I read a review of the previous show. Did that review like it?

The review was scathing. Oh really? Yeah, which I don't understand why because in a way it's interesting because it's so awkward when he's not playing. It makes it for an ender. You're just like, oh my God, I can't believe it. I can't believe he's fucking up there just talking for the last 10 minutes instead of playing a song.

Yeah. It's fascinating to watch him. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, it was. I had this was something. I talked with a guy to bring up AI again. I talked to a guy who said that I gave him what I told you guys with the last AI guy told me about how we're like 10 years away from everything.

And he was like, dude, he's like, you're fucking so out of touch. He's like, we're five years away from you just being able to make movies on your phone. He's like, it's it. So maybe we can bring Gene back. You know what I mean? Maybe we could have like mini Gene on our TV telling these jokes and doing this. Really? Five years from making a movie on your phone just by typing it into a screen.

He's like, it's just about the prompts. About the prompts. About the prompts. Wow. Yeah. Scary times. I think we're in them. I think this is it, bud. I was wondering, I couldn't remember today, it was bugging me to remember the guy's name

who got hanged from the helicopter in Scarface. And he's like, you think blank is a rat because Sosa said so. So I went to Google and I looked up like Sosa quotes Scarface and it had a whole bunch of quotes that weren't from Sosa that they were from Scarface. They're from Tony Montana. So AI is imperfect. Oh yeah, for sure. As far as I'm concerned, yeah.

Is that Google or AI? Well, it's an AI search result provided by Google, I guess. But is that somebody just putting in, making their own memes? No I think it takes like, doesn't it grab a bunch of information and then just sort of compile it. And it was totally wrong. It had all these misquotes and stuff. So yeah, it's still not quite where it needs to be.

Well I think he was talking about in terms of being prompted and move. I also think we're working on Google with stuff that's not what they're working with. He said it's worse than I had thought. When I had said all that stuff on that last episode, he's like, no, that's already obsolete. He goes, it's already here. He said, you're doing it already. He just showed me stuff on his phone and you're like, this looks like a human. He's like, it was like some woman walking down the stairs having a conversation moving on and everything. At

first I was like, what am I looking for? Is the location AI? Is the woman AI? Every bit of it was AI. I was like, holy fuck. I saw this app. I can't remember what it was called, but it's basically it's you take a still photo It's like, you know me and get them and then with AI you can make it look like we kiss Yeah, I've seen a lot of illegal illegal you think well there are there already like Bills going to Congress to make AI porn illegal Hmm, so you can't make

You know you and get him kiss and more likely lead to more graphic shit than that. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Making your friends kisses like, ha ha, like a joke. Yeah. Whereas like the anti-porn could spell big ramifications. Definitely. Yeah. So I got to make that fucking get him Johnson porn quick before the law gets passed.

Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Patreon this month. Two beards, one cup. Oh, boy. Ohy lord. That should be against the law. How do you guys feel about your local airport being a fucking shit show? Dude. New Jersey, huh?

Leaving for Vegas on Thursday. Did you hear about it? No, I have no idea what you're talking about. New airport is voted the worst airport in the world. Not even the United States for cancellations, safety issues, staff shortages, cancellations. Is it their fault? Yeah, apparently they cut so much staffing that now it's just dangerous. Well, they cut staffing and there are guys that quit.

And then there was an incident the other day where the radar, what do we call it, radar? Doppler. Doppler. Not the Doppler. It went blank for 90 seconds. They couldn't talk to anybody. They couldn't see anybody. A minute and a half.

It's astounding that nothing crashed or... Oh my God. Well, they need new management Yeah, they need management. They said they also need to upgrade everything like I saw there was It was Chuck Schumer talking about how it was a came down to a copper wire That like got fried and that's what caused the outage and he's like, why are we working with copper when we need fiber? I'm like who just told him about And he's like, why are we working with copper when we need fiber? I'm like, who just told him about fiber?

I thought I ate fiber in the morning. How do you upgrade it when the shit never stops coming in and leaving? That's what I was wondering. How do you upgrade the system? Build the second system while you're using the first still. And then you just integrate it across a little bit. Kind of like a new bridge maybe. Yeah, I think that's right.

Because they built that new terminal. Terminal A is new there. But copper's more reliable. than fiber, yeah, absolutely Because that's why everybody's trying to steal it. No, no, it's more valuable when they rip it out of fucking house No, that's cuz they could sell it scrap place. No one's ripping out fiber fucking cables out of houses Yeah, cuz you can't sell to a scrapyard That's no reason. No, it's because it's just the white. Even crackheads know.

We're stripping this house of fiber. Why, you think that me and Brian should feel ashamed because Newark Airport? I haven't been in, I haven't stepped in an airport since 1995. I don't give a fuck about it. I mean this is your tax dollars at work, bro. It's not tax dollars. Isn't that private airport?

No, it's federal, I think, right? Oh, yeah. So it's not just New Jersey's fault. It's federal. I got JFK right here. JFK is a great airport. How often do you fly in a JFK? I fly almost exclusively out of Newark.

I love Newark. I love Newark airport, but I was shocked by that fucking- I couldn't believe it because it's usually a pretty smooth flight. There's never a lot of security when I go. You get through security pretty quickly, that kind of thing. Like I said, I'm leaving for Vegas in two days this Thursday, and I'm like, is it going to be late? Is it going to be delayed? Is it going to fly at all? It's scary shit, bro. If it does fly, how safe am I? I don't know.

What are you going to do in Vegas? I'm going to visit her parents and there's a couple podcasts that are having a little fest out there that I'm going to go see. You're not going to the sphere? If there's anything playing yeah, that's what the Eagles are there. Oh, yeah Hate the Eagles. Yes, no case. You have an absolutely zero. I want to see some diamond Diamond couldn't fucking fund a fucking two minutes of fucking Not even a minute could he afford of the money he need to sink in to do a proper show at the sphere.

You could sing one note and be like, that's it. Good night. Thank you for coming. That would be about it probably. Go see anything you can. Anything? Anything you can. All right.

I'll check it. Those tickets are crazy though right now for the Eagles. Expensive? That would be about it probably. Go see anything you can. Anything? Anything you can. All right, I'll check it out. Those tickets are crazy though, right now for the Eagles. Expensive? Yeah. They just added a bunch of new shows. Did they?

Yeah, so maybe it'll be a little lighter. Okay, yeah. I was going to say, I skipped out on Chiller Theatre because I'm like, I'm outpriced by this shit. I like it for two, for me and Mary Beth to get it, because the only reason I was going to go was because they had three cast members from Too Close for Comfort and I've been watching Too Close for Comfort lately. Oh, get out of here.

Jim J. Bullock, Sarah, or Lydia Cornille, and Deborah Von Volkenberg or something. Jim J. Bullock's still alive? Still alive, yeah. Oh, wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, that's what Frank said too. Frank Fide was like, he's still alive? I thought he died of AIDS.

Yeah, the center square, didn't he go away? Oh good, he was so funny on Hollywood Squares. Yeah, he's funny in this show too. You can see, you can tell the moment when they're like, we need more Monroe. Yeah, like now all of a sudden Monroe lives in the apartment with them. Right. Was this character, was Monroe gay on the show or no? He was more asexual. He did show interest in a woman a couple times. Once it turned out to be transvestite.

There's a lot of transvestite stuff on that show. It was a go-to back in the day. It really was. Yeah. You need something funny, slip a man in a dress. Yeah. Uncle Miltie fucking covered gold. And then conservative Ted Knight.

And that's it. Oh, Ted Knight, man. He's amazing at everything. The way he orders his 23-year-old daughters around, like what they're going to do and what they're not going to do, they don't even live in the apartment with them. They pay rent and they live in the downstairs apartment, but he's like, you're not going out there. You're not wearing that.

You're not doing this. He was still the man of the house, bro. He really was, yeah. He argues with the mom who's Alice in the Honeymooners. Oh, really? I didn't remember that. I forgot about that. That was one of the shows that I watched, but I don't remember that. Forgot about that.

That was one of the shows that I watched, but I don't remember much of it at all. I didn't remember a lot of it either aside from just the main characters, but I didn't remember hardly any episodes. It's not that great. What are you watching on? It's on Peacock. Peacock. Get in there on that. Also started watching, because you guys are salivating over it, I started watching Reacher. Oh yeah, where were we at?

What did you get up to? Second season, second episode. What did you think of the first season? Loved it. It's good. I want to be Reacher. I want to have Reacher's body. I want to have Reacher's steely gaze.

Steely gaze is something. You know, you fail to mention the only thing that you could do is have his discipline and fucking code of ethics. Much easier to do than the body and you immediately go to like, well, that's not going to happen. But the thing I could do, you don't even mention. I'm more likely to get the abs than to change up my code of ethics. Yeah, but I mean, I couldn't even mention. I'm more likely to get the abstinence than to reach out my code of ethics. Yeah, but I mean, I couldn't even live by his code of ethics. He's like, he's a killer.

Yeah, but he kills the right people though. He does. He doesn't make any mistakes. No. He kills a lot of people and he doesn't ask a lot of questions. And sometimes I think about it where I'm just like, what if that guy was like a cousin that just stood in for the day and they never told him that he was a henchman or something? He shouldn't have been there then.

I guess. That's not really how the court system works. But yeah, I guess Reacher's got it. Do you know his body count over the three seasons? I know it. You know it? No. What is it? Yeah. Do you think it's over, under? Go ahead, Brian. What do you think? I know you haven't seen season three. Okay. I haven't seen season three yet, but he's killing a lot of people and he's mad

that the special investigators are getting knocked off one by one. Yeah. I'm going to say his body count is 150. In three seasons. In three seasons. Three seasons. That'd be 50 a season. Yeah, I think it's still in the 90s. I think it's in the 90s.

Yeah. You would both be wrong and over. Oh. Really? Yeah, 60 something. Okay. All right. I think it was 60 on the nose or 60 something. It's still a lot of fucking-

20 kills per season, which is more than one per episode. Something okay, because 60 on the nose or 60 something still a lot of fun One per episode is that race 60? Some of them shot in the back Is that a serial killer He doesn't lose any sleep over it. He has no little cracks Joe in the moment. He doesn't know any sleep over it. He has no little... He cracks jokes in the moment. He doesn't give a fuck. ...no conscious whatsoever about it. He's never like... Which I understand. They tried to kill him most of the time.

Well, they killed his brother. Yeah. How many tears are you gonna shed for these scumbags? Right. But there is no... Like... It doesn't weigh him down emotionally at all. Not even for a moment.

Even like, leave him cracking bones, like a corpse's bones and folding them up like accordions. It doesn't leave a mark on him at all. No, it's just what he needs to do. Did you finish season three? Not yet, no. I'm half way there. Oh, good. I don't know which is better, season one or three.

It's that close of a call. It's only because that was a way that I –'t, and then I had Righteous Gemstones to finish up so I didn't. Did you know what's coming next? Did you hear the news, the Reacher Universe news? No, what? Solo show. Oh yeah, I read that. I was wondering, I've only watched two episodes of the second season like I said, but so far I'm like, is this character deserving of her own series?

Oh, Neegley, they gave it to Neegley? Neely. Neely? Neely. Neely? My God. All right, all right. Jesus Christ. Get us canceled. What the fuck?

Geez Louise. We're Reacher fucking fans, you're poser bitch. Get the fuck out of here. Fold you up like an accordion, you say her name wrong again. All right, I'll show myself the door, just don't shoot me in the back on the way out. How the fuck can you say you're a fan and fucking butcher that name up, man? Dude, I'm the one that told you to watch it. Yeah, I know.

You're a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. I'm a fucking bitch. How the fuck can you say you're a fan? And fucking butcher that name.

Dude, I'm the one that told you to watch it. Neely. Neely's getting her own show. Okay. Okay. But it's spelled. Okay. All right.

You watch it with subtitles in? Sometimes, yeah. I have to. Because I didn't even realize that's how her name was spelled. But I don't know. I think she – I think she's awesome. Yeah. I would think she – She's how her name was spelled. But I don't know, I think she- I think she's awesome.

Yeah, I would think she- She's not a Mary Sue. I haven't really gotten that much exposure to her yet, so that's why I was wondering if she was deserving of her own series. Is that what they call the girls who do everything? The Mary Sue? The Mary Sue, yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

I like her. I'm all for her getting her own spin-off show. I'll watch it. I wonder, I am glad that she gets, I think she's a great character and she does a good job with that role. I just wonder, like, but what I am glad she gets. I think she's a great character and she does a good job with that role. I just wonder like, but she's in reach her so much. Like it's almost like she's already on a show. Like it's funny, but I wonder if Rachel will go over to her show.

I think absolutely. Yeah, right. Definitely the first episode. Well, I saw Wikipedia. I looked it up and it had the cast of the first season and he is in there. Okay. Oh, you already know already. Yeah. Yeah. It said that he was in it. Okay. Oh, you already know already. Yeah, yeah.

It said that he was in it. Oh. And that means they're put, I don't know if they're even doing a season four of Reacher, but if it does happen, I guess it's not next year, but it'll be the next year. Because of that show? Because of that show, yeah. I don't know if I like that. I don't like that either, but you know, what are you going to do?

Yeah. I'm sure he'll be on it so much. It's just going to be like another season of Reacher. I would hope so, but I'm sure they want to make her be able to stand on her own two feet without him though. Which she does anyway. Yeah, I would watch it. That's kind of a character I agree with you.

I kind of dig. It is a little bit in the second season how they're all like, it's so lame. Like when they're bonding in the bar fight and stuff like that, you're like, rawr. Season two is a fucking slog. Season two is a lot of- There's some corn in there for sure. There's a lot of corn in there. Even the way they throw their name, I was like, they couldn't come up with a better

name than the Special Investigators. No. And they say it with such sincerity too, like they're not fucking around. I am in love with Reacher so much, I even investigated the two Tom Cruise movies. Tom Cruise movies. What'd you think? I didn't like them. You didn't like them at all?

I didn't like them at all and I wonder if that's because of this guy owns the character now, and it's almost like it's ridiculous to see someone else try to pull it off. I had never seen these movies. I didn't even know they existed, to be honest with you. They came under the radar, I feel like, for Tom Cruise movies. They were moderate hits, but is he the killing machine in it? Is it the same thing? He kills, but, and he's, you know, he beats up like five guys at once.

Yeah. Is Neely in it? There is no Neely. No, no, there's no Neely, but there's, there's things that they explore in the movies that work far better in the TV show because they have more time to breathe and more time to give you an insight into it rather than just throw it away as a one offline. I wonder if they'll even tackle those books that those movies are based on since...

Since those stories... I mean, if there's 27 books, I guess you don't have to... Oh, there's that many books. Oh, okay. Holy shit, really? He writes a book a year, this know. This is a story. I mean, if there's 27 books, I guess you don't have to. Oh, there's that many books. Holy shit, really? Yeah. He writes a book a year, this guy. Oh, wow. Lee Childs or whatever his name is, which good for him. Yeah, right?

Yeah. I like that. That's prolific. I'm fucking down with that. All right. What's going on here? Yeah, that's the Tom Cruise, Reacher movie. But yeah, I wonder what Tom Cruise thinks because this is probably the first time anybody's

ever... Out Tom Cruise-ed him? Yeah. I mean, he can't feel bad. You look at that guy, you know, like that's who should have played Reacher from the second. Do you have, do you, because me and Getham think he is, do you think Reacher is on the spectrum? The character?

Yeah, I think so. And I don't think that's what Tom wasn't willing to go there. He wasn't playing it like that? No. Okay. I mean, I think it's pretty fucking clear in the show that he is. Right. He just clocks out until there's something to do.

He'll sit on the bed just while we're looking out the window. It's pretty wild. He's got that over-exaggerated sense of right and wrong. And you're not close to being done yet? Yeah, can you try to finish it so we can talk about it next time? I can finish it, yeah. I think only like four episodes. I liked the last episode. It's really good. Okay. Yeah. I just wanted to get through Righteous Jemstones before I heard spoilers. You don't want that, right?

What? Righteous Jemstones on HBO. I don't know what that is. No. It's Danny McBride and I don't know, who's his father on the show? Oh, John Goodman. John Goodman's his dad and their preachers and stuff like that. It's such a fucking great show. Yeah.

You said, I usually wait with things like this to binge them. I don't want to watch them week by week, but I broke that rule and watched it two weeks ahead of time. The first episode, you're like, you can watch the first episode and it doesn't really affect the rest of the show. Yeah. I wanted to see that series with With that first episode when Eli Gemstone. Was it with him running over someone or something?

Well no, it's the old west one. Oh, the third season, yes, I wanted to see that show. Oh, so fucking good. Yeah, oh I love that episode. The first episode of the third season was a flashback to the Civil War. I was fucking brilliant. Oh, it's a period piece?

Yeah. Yeah, it's a period piece? Yeah. It's an entire episode about how the gemstones got started. It was pretty good. What are the gemstones? Are we talking like Infinity Stone? It's their family name. It's the last name. Oh, we were talking about Infinity Stones?

No, no, no. That's the last name. They're preachers. Yeah, it's a family, like a real leg. They have the mega churches, so it's like a really wealthy preacher family. I love that show. Yeah, that's good. I, so it's like a really wealthy preacher family. Oh, God, I love that show. Yeah, that's good.

I'm sad it's over. All right. We're all going to save your wounds with a little read here. Q. Mm-hmm. Dads teach us a lot. How to fix things for ourselves, how to pick ourselves up and power on, even how to do – even how to make do with less. So the

I think WABC is like one of those political stations still. Yeah. Oh yeah? Dad still gets riled up. Yeah. Even after all this time, he can still get mad about the world. I don't know if he's mad as much as he's... I don't even know if he can hear it to tell you the truth anymore. What pisses him off at this point?

I don't think anything anymore. Now that he... I don't think he listens to get it riled up. I think he just listens for the news, just so there's something to listen to. But yeah, he's... My God, I went to see him the other day. He's so skinny now. Oh, man. He's been going to chemo and all that. Like good Lord. It's just thin, thin, huh? Yeah.

And on the side was you could play with the volume and the, um, the dial where you could change it. Yeah. I had a Snoopy that was similar to that. Yeah. What happened to thatopy that was similar to that. What happened to that thing? Ooh, it probably broke and eventually got thrown out of the toilet.

There it is. Well, it's going to bring back memories. God, you found a die. Yeah, I used to have it. 1972. Listening to fucking Elton John, Philadelphia Freedom, rocking out. So, $50 $50 bid bro. Get in there. You know that gets no fucking. No reception.

No reception. There's no antenna on it. He could make it into a speaker for you. You think the Raycons would work on the Fred Flintstone head? There's ways to make this happen. The Fred Flintstone head that's probably the same tech they're using at Newark Airport. Oh, you think there's copper in that, Fred Head? There might be.

We'll strip it out, yeah. Oh, man. Dude, I'm going to go see Stranger Things this week. Really? Yes. You are going to have an erection, so make sure you bring a towel. All right. Make sure you wear loose pants, maybe sweatpants.

I can't, like I'm going to fantasy. towel. Are you wearing loose pants? Maybe sweatpants? I can't, like I'm going to fantasy. Great. Yeah. I cannot wait to hear what you think. I am going to be stunned if you're not like Gaga over the moon. I trust your opinion.

Although you did love Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark. Yeah, I think there, I don't know if we jive on the same thing. I feel like... Well, you looked back to the future. I did, but yeah, but I loved Spider-Man and you hated it. Well, I saw it three times. I kind of hated it that much. You know, I just, I went to go see the train wreck aspect of it, but the performances were fine. But yeah, I'm excited to go. Did you see King Kong on Broadway?

I did. Did you like that? Because I liked it. I thought the puppet was cool and the rest of it, I don't care. Yeah, I don't know. I think in terms of Broadway, I wonder if you're into a little bit more of the glitz and I'm more into the masculine part of things in Broadway. Well, I mean, I like the giant monkey puppet. What else in the play was masculine that I missed? All the singing. Are you all right to the whole fairy thing? Well, I'm, you know. Shiny stuff.

Yeah. Glitter. And sequins. I do love that stuff. You're right. You're not wrong. I love a good synchronized dance. Let me know what you think of it. No songs, right? There is music. Yeah, it's not a musical. Yeah, there's really no songs.

It's unique. I've never seen a play like it before. Great. I cannot wait. You probably have seen stuff that's not musical based, but this was the first time I ever have. It flew by. It's almost three hours long. I saw Bruce Willis in Misery. I guess this was early signs of what was going on in his head, because he had an earpiece in and every single line was fed to him.

It was such a disappointment. How do you, how does that hurt the performance? Because the, she'll say her line, it was Laurie Metcalf, it was Annie, and then it would be like a pause and then he'd say his line. Oh. So it was like the lines were getting directly fed to him over the thing. You could see him listening to it and go, yeah, it's kind of a bummer. Yeah, that's silly because that's a very unnatural way to speak, given that that beat

in the- Yeah, it wasn't every scene, but it was a bunch of the scenes, yeah. Can you get your money back from that? Like if you make a big enough stink? I don't know. Probably not. Like tweet, like go public about it. I mean, it's John McClane.

I was just sitting there looking at John McClane. Very disappointed. Like you can't add to theater online and on Twitter. I go public about it. I mean, it's John McClane. I was just saying, yeah look at the John McRogh way. Like you can't add the theater online and on Twitter and make it big enough fucking bitchy fucking stink. I guess I could. Yeah, I don't want to. These seats weren't comp'd, you know. Broadway doesn't comp seats. I know. They do not.

Yeah. So I paid for that shitty performance. That was the one that James Conn was in, right? Yeah. The movie version. It was good. Got one more here. Make this season the best yet with nutritious two-minute meals from Factor.

He sent it to me. The first time, if you remember, we went over it. He was in New Mexico. Not a very great shelling, if you recall. Even he admits it. He admits it too. He's worked on his craft though since then. I think he's – I wouldn't say honed.

I haven't listened to it yet. I want it to be just as surprised as you guys great So so what is this? So this is this is Ming in Alaska? Yeah, the last frontier Wow They are fucking Starved for entertainment in Alaska. I bet there's a big market for stand-up comedy in Alaska, right? There's nothing to laugh out there There's a big market for stand-up comedy in Alaska, right? Mm-hmm. There's nothing to laugh at there. It's all fucking dull. Maybe you can find something, but you're not a professional comedian.

I'm not. Ming-Chen is going to give us his observations. When the sun never rises, what's it, like months and months of darkness, you need some fucking Ming-Chen to shine a light in your fucking dark soul when you live in Alaska. So this is Ming Chen's second stand up at Chillakoot Charlies in Anchorage, Alaska. This is recent. This was April 29th. So you just tell me when to pause and... Okay.

Well, he's got the video on. Yeah, that won't sound right though. It won't sound right. It won't sound right. It'll play right from his phone. It'll be right on the mic. Yep. Go tell your friends like, man, are they crazy other night?

I mean, who wouldn't believe what happened? Fucking Jackie Chan came in and tried to get straight on comedy. He fucking sucked, man. All right. I'm already listening to some Ryebald laughing in the background at a Jackie Chan, why is Jackie Chan doing stand up in Anchorage, Alaska? It's a Jackie Chan. Why is Jackie Chan doing a stand up in Anchorage, Alaska? It's a hot crowd.

Okay, so you got it. Is it Jackie Chan in his late seventies at this point? Jackie Chan's a weird reference. He's a little old. I'm not sure who the go-to Asian reference is these days, but yeah, you're right. Okay. It's a piece of shit. Can you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? Yeah, yeah. Anyways, um, I used to be on TV. I was on a TV show called Comic Book Man.

Yeah, he came out here for the one he did. He might have wanted it. Man, it was fucking great, man. I used to get like fat paychecks, fucking limousines, um, like, I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym,

and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go to the gym, and I used to go He came out here for the money. He came out here for the money. Man, it was fucking great, man. I used to get like fat paychecks, fucking limousines, like all the white women I could eat. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, wow, wow, wow.

He's going blue. All the white women he could eat. Oh, wow. Dude, wait, you guys got fat paychecks and limousine rides? Not that I recall. Well, I mean, I think that was the only paycheck he was getting. I mean, he had been fired from his real job. Yeah, on ceremonies, the shit can.

I guess the limousines would be- We went to a con, I think, we got limousines. Wasn't he working though? It was just the last season that he was- I think it was like two seasons. Two, at least two, yeah. At least two, maybe, maybe it's only one. I don't remember. It was so long ago.

Right. They did a little cost cutting, snipping out Ming-Chen. Yeah, yeah. They got rid of some of the dry wood, you know. It's like the right phrase. The fucking term I think dead wood is what you're looking for. Dead wood, dry wood. That's what he has is dry wood. But all you can eat white women.

All you can eat white women. All right. That wasn't really my experience, but I don't even know what it means. Well, he's married, so I'm sure there's a divorce lawyer out there that would be very curious. Or he's going to explain to us. Yeah, I think he's setting up the joke. Yeah. Yeah. I got faith in my boy.

There's one lady who must be on laughing gas or something. She has not stopped laughing the entire time. He has learned something. That's what you do when you are in a small like no-name comedy club. You insult it. Yeah, I thought the same thing. I was like, I was taking shots of the club. Yeah. These guys are good enough to –

I think that's for an order like a food pickup. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, I think that's for a waiter or waitress to go get the food and bring it to a table. Oh my goodness. Okay. I thought they were punctuating. He's not at Rascals. You're right.

Is that Chillicout Charlie's favorite six? This place is great though. I was here on Friday. I saw a band here called The Stack and I saw the greatest thing. I saw a fight here, man. I saw a fight. I know a rare occurrence here. It was general wussy fight.

I was like, I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I'm going to go to the stage. I I saw a fight here, man. I saw a fight. I know a rare occurrence here. I know what happens here. But I was talking about mostly fighters, two military guys. One guy talks to somebody, the other guy's girlfriend. I started punching the guy in the back of the head. Like really weak shit. He was like, ah, ah. I was like, yeah, what? I love you guys, because I'm going to go back to Jersey and my man. I saw his flight that I broke it up.

I saved all these white women. I saved Betty back there at the bar. Second mention of white women. What's going on with me? He has a white woman. In all honesty, an honest question, how often do you think he, I know we speculate and make jokes, but how often do you think he's home? A year. How many nights do you think he spends in know you speculate and make jokes, but how often do you think he's home a year?

How many nights do you think he spends in his own bed? In his own bed? Yeah, in his own bed. I think he eventually makes it to his own bed, but I think he's probably not home. If you had to take a guess, like you had to wager money on it. An average month. Like $1,100 like you on the ponies. On this losing horse. How many nights do you think he spends sleeping in his own bed?

From the, just gleaning it, gleaming it from what you see on social media. He's never home. So what- He's never home, no. 365 nights, how many are at home? I mean it's- Over or under 100? Oh, I think over. I think over 100.

I think over 100. Yeah. Because I think even though he's out and he comes home late, he still does have to go home to go to sleep. He's home during the week. Yeah. I would say weekdays mostly. Okay.

Yeah. I don't know if he sleeps at the studio. So you're talking probably, I mean, if you're just talking weekends, that's eight days out of the month, not including travel. Let's say there's a day of travel on each end, that's 16 days. Right. 96 days a year that he's gone out. It's a lot. It's a heavy schedule, but he seems to love it. All right. Let's see if Ming gets any more white women. Oh, yeah. We're still going.

Oh, yeah. All right. How long is this Ming gets any more white women. Oh, yeah, we're still going Oh, yeah, how long is this set five minutes and 25 seconds? What the fuck did you call all the way out here from New Jersey? I came out here for a comic con from the go-artist Comic Con I had a great time I don't know if you guys ever read about Comic Con They have these cosplayers that they get dressed up in costumes I met this girl shit all this like armor like this steel armor like 50 50 pounds of armor, I was like hey man

what was that armor? I'm going to this place called Coons tonight and it's really round and we didn't really know how that was It's almost like they're punctuating his jokes with that fucking bell. How many orders did they have? People just laughed. What was the name of that? Was that a strip club you think he mentioned? Oh, I didn't pick up on that.

I didn't pick up on it either. He said he's wearing a suit of armor to go somewhere tonight. Oh, I thought it was to go here. I thought that's what he meant. Oh, it's the same name? Yeah, the same name. That's what I thought. It might be something different though. When does the joke start? I don't know. He's just-

This is not standup. No, this is just going up there and saying stuff. Like even the fight story, it's like, well, if it didn't pan out to be a good fight, why talk about it? Has there been a joke yet? Maybe the Jackie Chan one? The white women thing. Okay. Where the white women at?

All the white women I could eat? That's a joke. All right. That's being very gracious with the fucking definition of the word joke. He's on stage. Is that even as much as a joke as Gene's jokes? Yeah. I mean, Gene Simmons looks like fucking, he looks like Richard Pryor.

He looks like George Carlin compared to me. I think there's four people in there. You think there's four people in there? Yeah, it really sounds like that. It sounds like there's a lot of echo-y so I'm not hearing, yeah I'm not You think there's four people in there? Yeah, it really sounds like that. It sounds like there's a lot of echo-y, so I'm not hearing it. Who's ordering all the food then?

That's true. Two of them are wearing four-color demon shirts. No doubt. I think the people from QS, the Alaskans that were in Q1. Oh, that was a chance. Yeah, I think they would. That must be them actually. Right.

So they were definitely high then. Yes. Do you guys know this place called Asia Garden? Don't you dare to disparage Asia Garden. No you're not. I'm about to man. I'm Asian. I'm a lot disparaged to Asia Garden.

Taking it back, I earned that shit man. First of all, why is there a fucking DeLorean parked outside? Can you just imagine? Because like, I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like,

I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, First of all, why is there a fucking DeLorean parked outside? Can you just... Is it because like, you can jump in it and be like... He hasn't changed one iota since fucking day one he doesn't prepare for anything.

He just fucking goes up and just fucking says shit. Like podcasting, no prep. Just fucking thinks he can just talk and fucking fucking says shit. Like podcasting, no prep. Just fucking thinks he could just talk and fucking it's entertaining. Nothing has changed in 20 years. Why would it change? He's killing it. No, that's not killing it. That's weird because- That's not killing it.

It's not. It's not. It's brutal. He's in Alaska. He's in Alaska, yes. But there is no like, no prep work at all. He's not willing to give one iota to working at it. He's just like, no, like I'm not going to. What do you say? He's got to pay. He's got to do is just write five or six jokes.

Well, he has to have all the white women you can eat. He's down. He's got one down, one down. Next joke. That is not a joke. It is a joke. I don't think that's the joke. I don't think that he was trying to even be funny.

All the white women I can eat, that's an exaggeration of a humorous statement. Okay, explain the joke to me then. How does it work on a level that makes someone laugh? Is it supposed to be a joke about eating Chinese? It's surprising. Like it's supposed to be a dyslexia joke? Yeah, a little bit of a way. He's...

It's the opposite of people going like, I like to eat Asian or... Yeah. Sure it is. You're just saying yeah now. You've always done this. You've always defended him. I love the guy. You're right.

I love him too, but come on. Not as much as I do. He does not fucking put any work into his craft. But that's his style. That's his personal style. That's not his style. That's his personal style It's like not wanting to do the fucking The groundwork he pulls it off

He just like this is the problem with one of the problems with me It's like he starts a thought and he's like, yeah So I went to this place Asia Gardens and then he gets a big response because it's like it's a local restaurant Yes, and then he's like, response because it's like, it's a local restaurant. Yes. And then he's like, why is there a DeLorean outside? Is he talking about outside the restaurant? Is he talking about outside Chillico Charlie's? Both that restaurant and that DeLorean got a big, big response from the audience. Right.

As long as he just names stuff that's in the area, he's going to get applause. That's what I'm saying. That's his style. But that can't, you can't go on tour with that though. You can't do the circuit. No, you have to have such a captive audience. I don't know that you can't go on tour with that. Can you imagine him doing like five minutes in the cellar with this shit? Look man, he's a young comic. He's just starting out. You know what I mean? The way that he's doing the right thing. He's putting in the work. He's going to open mic nights, he's a young comic. He's just starting out. He's doing the right thing. He's putting

in the work. He's going to open mic nights and he's testing out material. That is not material. It is material. That is not material. It's not good material. All the white women you can eat, you can't make that and you don't think you can turn that into a funny joke? You might be able to turn it. That's one. I know you're hanging on to that one for dear

life. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. You got to let to turn that. That's what I know you're hanging on to that one for dear life. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. You got to let that one go. But why? Someone's got to stick up for him. Why? Because I know, like, as friends, yeah, like, yeah, you should support your boy and everything. But doesn't he also need to hear a little dose of reality?

Like do a little bit of fucking homework before you get up there. Like the night before, like fucking try to come up with some actual jokes. Start carrying around a notebook. Maybe if you're going to post it, he posts this. Yeah, it's on YouTube. Did he post this? He did. Yeah.

So you're putting it out there for consumption. You should have a little bit more pride in your work. But what do you want him to do? Like what, what, what is he not providing you? Jokes. We've been going on this thing for like a minute. Okay, all right, fair enough. We're actually three minutes in.

We're over halfway done. All right, so he's got the- Let's go. Maybe I'm jumping to gun here. Maybe there is going to be some fucking killer material that he's going to whip out. You know, he's got to have a closer yes Why do you sing like a doctor or a lawyer? You know I'm singing in an Asian ring. I'm singing by the family.

Fucking Asian guardians, man. I'm sorry. You guys know my song Darwin's Theory? I went to Darwin's Theory. I'm like, what's so special about this place? Like, all we all meet each other all three of our war countries. I'm like, that was a female? I'm like, no.

Wow. Ooh. I like that. I like that. I like that. Yeah, it's risky in this day and age. Is it risky to specifically call out the place and the bar? And the bar. I went to a bar in town. He's naming it. Another big reaction though. Another big reaction. How many highs do you guys need, you're right. You're right I mean I take it all back. This is fucking phenomenal

I don't know why he doesn't got his own fucking Netflix special Please more more. Pioneer bar. Yeah. I guess. The pile. Yeah. Isn't pile of shit. All right.

All right. All right. Stop it. Please. I mean, edgy material here. Fuck the pioneer bar. He's taken, taken names. Yeah. But he did just say once the pioneer party guys like that. Yeah. Fuck the pioneer bar. Like what? Yeah. Like why bring it up? What's the point? But he's got to be leaning up to something. Well, that's not wasted material.

You think that this is all major setup. This is all everything that he's done for it. It's going to come together. He's got to tie it all together You know brilliant bow. I believe so yeah You're gonna be a mic drop moment with all these disparate Insightful not at the end So just shit on the pioneer motor. Look at this. Look at the size of his cuffs. I know those are cuffed up. Those are fucking heavy cuffs.

What is this place called? The great Alaskan Bush Company? Yeah! I got nothing bad to say about that. Another pussy joke. Home run. Wait, wait, wait, wait. That was a pussy joke? Yeah. How so? The, the, he said it was a pussy joke? Yeah. How so?

He said it was a, what is it, Bush company? Alaskan Bush company. I have nothing bad to say about that. Loves Bush, dude. That's a stretch. I guess you're seeing the forest between the trees that I'm not seeing, right? I'm not hearing what you're hearing. What are you talking about?

He said I went to Alaskan Bush. He goes, I like that place. Why do you think he meant that? This is like Steven Wright shit. Either you get it or you don't get it. Okay, there you go. Which also is, you know, George Carlin shit. Yeah.

You know, you got to pay attention to it. Forget it. What good about that? Fuckin' full town, it's like what the hell's he, what's up with the full town, man? I know, I, yeah, so I played, I was like, yo, scratchy, they got me both these perforating things, it's like, it's like the, I, and I was like, what the hell is this? But then I started playing, it's like, ooh, I got a horseshoe in, I started winning like a dollar here, got one in there, then I got got really low man. I got really low. Then I was like Megan give me 40 more. Megan give me 60 more. Now I have no way to get home and structure man. Good God. This is the ramblings of a drunk man. Yeah. The schizophrenic has got more clarity and fucking. You also, you also said he didn't prep. He's reading this entire thing with his phone. That's even fucking worse. That he had prepped.

That this is what he prepped to go on stage with. Yeah. The Laskin Bush Company. I got an under say bad about them. That's right. Yeah. On to joke, on to joke seven. That was joke six?

Yeah, but I see DeRose up there with a notebook. You know what I mean? They all have their process. Oh yeah, a lot of people, a lot of comics do use notebooks and phones these days, but I think the stuff that's on the notebook or phone is usually better than this. This is just his- He forgot. Yeah.

He was fearful he would forget this. Just naming places. That's his main act is naming places in the area. He was fearful he would forget this. Just naming places. That's his main act is naming places in the area. He was worried he would forget this. It's a pro. He made sure he didn't forget it is the way that I look at it. It's like in big fucking big bold writing it says eat white women on his phone. Underlined six times.

White is underlined. All right, here we go. We got another minute of this. We missed a sucking dick joke that he made a joke that he would be sucking dick at a gas at the gaslight bar. Because he spent all his money on scratch off. That's right. He's got to suck dick to get home. That's right. That's right. That he's got to suck dick to get home. That's right. That's right. That's a classic comical conundrum. Yeah.

That's what they call hack. Yeah. It would be self-deprecating. How many dick sucking jokes have you two done? And now suddenly they're too good for the stage? No, no, no. You're rubbing off on me with your hoity-toity fucking Kentucky Derby shit. I feel fancy now just being around you.

I would have to- that I have told over a thousand in the history of Tom, Steve, Dave, each and every one. Yeah, that's 1.2 episodes. Absolutely galaxies better than what he's fucking saying up there. Right. He doesn't know how to tell a dick-sucking joke You're a master podcaster man, this is his second time doing stand-up So is he!

But he's not podcasting, he's doing stand-up, it's a different animal You're right, you're right So is he at one point? He's doing stand-up. It's a different animal. You're right, you're right. The gas light! The gas light! One other thing I noticed, it's fucking light out here, right? It doesn't get dark till like 10th or 11th here. How the fuck does anyone get laid here?

It's like last call and they turn on all the lights like, Ooh, God! You guys are all so fucking ugly, man. Oh, boy. Stop. That might have been the only legitimate attempt at a joke. Yeah. You guys are all so ugly. And it fucking, it crashed like the fucking Hindenburg.

Correct? He called them all ugly. I don't know why he did that. Like what stage for someone else? I think nobody must get laid here. You're all ugly. I was like, wait must get laid here. You're all ugly.

I was like, whoa, that was a hard right turn. Who is he modeling this career after? Rodney Dangerfield, right? Or Don Rickles. Yeah. Yeah, right? The master. Okay, you're right.

All right. Well, now he's, there you go. He's sprinkling a little of that in. All right. Hope he tells another dick sucking joke. He might save the act if he does. He just went to the winter to get it late. He was all dark and shit.

Yeah, anyways. $20 a day of white heels. Yeah, ugly. Anyways, that's all I got for you. Thank you. Oh my god. That was the closure? Yeah.

Did he rush out of the floor. He called him ugly again. Yeah. The second time. It needs work. Yeah. It definitely like. Just as any aspiring community needs work. Yeah.

It needs time to fine tune it. I agree. He's got to get in there. And he has a fucking amazing stage presence though. I mean he's electric. Yes. He's electric. You can't take your eyes off him fucking amazing stage presence though. I mean, he's electric. Yes. He's electric. You can't take your eyes off him.

No, I couldn't. Unless your order's coming. I couldn't take my eyes off him, no. No, I agree. I agree. So I think he just keeps going and keeps going. We're looking at bright future, I think. I just don't see him having the fortitude to really work at it.

I do feel he has a little bit of like a Ming-chan I can just roll up there and just say, I eat a lot of white women. That's it. And somebody's going to love it. I mean, that's his Hot Pockets joke, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hot Pockets. Yeah, that's it.

That's like before he gets off the stage, people chant it because they want him to sell it one more time. All the white women you could eat. Wow. So yeah, I think you're right, Walt. I think he needs to, he should take this, analyze it, see where he's getting his laughs and then really throw it all out and start new.

I think he- Because all his laughs, all his cheers are like, hey man, I went to this bar, I went to that bar. Yeah. I believe everybody who laughed, he came with. Oh yeah? Yeah. I think they drove him there.

Yeah. I think they're driving him back to his hotel. He might even be sleeping on their floor. Right. Right. You're right. Because he can't fucking, he, because the con wouldn't give him a room. Yeah.

And then he spent too much on scratchers. Sucking dick now. Geez. Poor Ming. Poor Ming? Yeah. He's in Alaska doing standup. No, you're right.

You should be so fucking poor. You're right. You're absolutely right What am I doing? I'm stuck in a fucking a windowless room would get him. He's out there fucking Captivating holding a crowd in the palm of his fucking hand playing them like a harp from hell. Yes You're right. You're right. I'm looking at fucking pork rinds. That's been sitting here for fucking days I'm looking at fucking pork rinds that's been sitting here for fucking days. That's salt. Oh, that's salt. It looks like fucking, it looks like diced little pork.

Doug's beg the question is why is there a giant bag of salt on our desk? What is that for? My salt grinder. His salt grinder, he says. But what do you need that much salt for? Not all at once. But why is it on the middle of the podcasting table? Because I filled it the other night.

Oh, come on. Q, we filled it a couple nights ago. Why wouldn't it still be out here? But where does it live when it's not on wires that we're using to record? In the back. Okay. All right. Oh boy.

It looks like fish food. You get to that side of the table. Or the rocks that you see on the bottom of the fish tank. And there's like, there's just junk everywhere piled up. There's four different tubes or bottles. One, two, three, four, five, just sitting there half filled. One looks like a bottle of piss for sure. What is that?

Leucozade. Leucozade. It's an energy drink. Okay. But is that lopucozade. Leucozade. It's an energy drink. Okay. Was that opened? Made with glucose. Oh, oh, leucozade like as in glucose.

Does that energy drink help? Because I haven't seen any signs that you're- Has it been energized? You've been energized by anything lately. I haven't opened it yet. You better start fucking mainlining it because at times I got to put a fucking mirror under your nose to see if it fogs up. See if we got to start looking for a new office coach.

I got that salt. If you, how long it will take you to use all that salt in that bag? Years. Years. It's just, there's a styrofoam cups on the side. It's just a weird way to live, man. Hoarder, man. What?

Got to be a hoarder to understand. I guess so. Shit everywhere. There's shit everywhere. That's wild. Yeah. Did you ever see like when a spider on LSD makes a web?

Yeah. Yeah, you showed us that. Yeah. on LSD makes a web? Yeah. Yeah. That's what you're seeing right there. That's his version of a web that he spins. Right. It's like, it's clean. Yeah. You can't even see the table. Am I exaggerating? Like where on his side of it, you can't even see the table. It's just piles of stuff on top of stuff. I don't understand it. You got to get out of this room, Walt.

I'm starting to worry about you. You can't live your life like this. He's not seeing it anymore. Yeah. The effect that this has on your brain isn't good. It's just disorderly mess thrown in your face constantly. What do I got to do? I mean, I told you, you got to fire him and get someone else in here, but it's never gonna happen.

You never said that! When did you say that? When was that sentence uttered aloud? I've said it, I've voiced that in the past, but we know we're not doing it, but like look, what's that chair over there? So you mean I've, his head's been on the chopping block, but I've taken it off Yeah, how you said you can't fire them? What would you think the reaction would be from the listener base who we depend upon I think Majority would be like that's cold. So the majority would be like, let them just continue to take advantage of you guys and keep this place a mess.

Living it. You know what you were getting. Yeah, I wonder. We can't fire him. I wonder what's the, we brought a listener in Josh. Yeah, where's he? He's gone. I don't see him around the whole time.

I think he bit off more than he could chew and I think he's just like – plus he's also getting the fucking iceberg. At home? No, from here. From here. Oh, really? Because every time he tries to throw something out, Gittem is like, that's mine. That's my fucking garbage.

That's my salt. But Gittem, it's a bunch of empty Gatorade bottles. There's like 30 in this bag. I need it. A lot of that going on. And now no elaborating why you need it. What if we hired someone to be his superior? To what, be the bad guy?

Yeah. That would make us very weak. Three of us are superiors. So now you have to pay another person? To be mean to get... We can't do it. Why can't you do it? Me? You are an SOB. Why can't you be mean?

I don't know. You're mean to all your girlfriends you are an absolute fucking bastard to. Why the fuck can't you be mean to him and fucking ride his balls? I don't know. One, he's a friend. Two, I'm not good in that role. When I was a manager at the Stash Out West, I never liked it because I didn't like telling people what to do.

I just always wish they would still just do it. I wish they would just do it. I didn't like being in that management position. The same thing with Get'em, I guess. I'm just like, and I just feel like it's going to fall on deaf ears too. It'll just get me more frustrated if I'm like, hey, next time we come in to record, can half the table at least not have shit all over it? I know I'll come in and there'll still be half the table have shit on it. And I'll be like, God damn it. It's like, maybe I just don't want to admit the lack of respect he has for us. Is that what it is? I mean, it's like, maybe I just don't want to admit the lack of respect he has for us.

Is that what it is? I don't think it's that. I do think it's, it is an ill mind. Yeah. It is an unmedicated mind. Yeah. Yeah. If it was to get the pills it needs. I think things could be different, but you know, he's, I mean, maybe Dr. D, maybe we need to call her back in and maybe, I don't know if she's allowed to prescribe, cross state lines.

I don't know if she wants to be on Mike prescribing medications that were just like, can you make him need her? Yeah. What do you got for that doc? What's the plea at? Could you make him like want to throw shit away? What's in the medicine cabinet for that doc? I've been playing that Red Dead Redemption, the cowboy game again, part two, and every other non-player character, just get them.

Just get the long beard and is drunk on the side of the road and I'm like, oh my God. It's like, and then you go in people's houses and they're all shitholes because they're living in the old west. But a finely tuned get a mind, I think, could be super beneficial because you see flashes of it. Yeah. There's flashes of brilliance at times, but then it gets distracted by literal garbage. That becomes more important than a brilliant idea that you put out there and

then you complete that idea. Execute it, right. Yeah, you execute that idea. There's a bit of a distance between thinking it and doing it. But the crazy part for me with Gittem is like, he's rubbing our face in it. There's not even an attempt to be like, oh, the guys are coming in today, let me just clean up a little bit. I think he did.

Well, this is straightened up? I think he did. Yeah, he did. Oh, okay. This is, but this is what you got to do. That's fine, though. I didn't realize that. This is his ill mind thinking that this is.

He doesn't see this as... He put his hand on the table and just swept everything to the end of the table. That was it. That's what this yardstick is for. He just wants to push all that way. I will say, Q, you're a little bit more Felix Unger than I am. You find the weirdest things to be like, there's an empty cup on its side. And you're like, that bothers you. Right? Well, it's okay. Pete Slauson It's just, I'm just looking at a pile of mess and I'm just saying what I see.

Pete Larkin Right. But there's far more – Pete Slauson But throw that out. Why is that there? Pete Larkin Yeah. Why is there a cup covered with plastic? Pete Slauson It's like a hotel room. Jeffery Mackus Because I was trying to get you, I asked you if you wanted some of my seltzer to try it the other day, remember? Pete Larkin So, you had this cup at the ready, an old cup that, where did this cup even come from? It came from Frank's Hotel.

So you were going to, he was going to- It's a clean cup, it's plastic wrapped. So Wallace got a sample, some of, get him seltzer so you came prepared with a cup. Yes. Why is Frank's cup from the hotel here? How did that get from Frank's Hotel to here? Frank brought it. But why though?

Jesus Christ. For you? I guess? He's like, here, I didn't use this. Yeah. Throw it out. That's the listeners. Give it to me right now. Listeners and people who appear- Oh my God, and he crushed it.

... who appear on the shows. Stop bringing things, forget them, because we can't take it on. We can't take it on. We can't take it on. You have to fucking not bring us anything. It has to stop. We can't, because he won't throw it away if you give it to him. He won't. He won't.

I was looking at it. Now it's nice of you to think that I would want to sip your seltzer, but you know, you know, don't you fucking lie. You know I was never going to be like, okay. From his backwash bottle. Here you go. It was a brand new bottle of grape seltzer. But you know I was never going to drink it.

You might. That would be, it may as well have been a bottle of pissed up, I thought it was initially. You drink grape juice. Right, but you know I've said on record, I've told you, I can't stand seltzer. But it's, it's, this is not really seltzer, it's sparkling water. So it's sweet. It has bubbles. It's okay, but it's sweet. So it's not really seltzer. So that's why I asked if you would like to try some, because I know you, I'm trying to get you to drink more. Is that, and so when you got the cup, you're like, oh here's an opportunity

Now I can actually offer him some myself sir. Yes I said this said before I that's why that's where our brains don't work like hit I walked in and I said to you before I open this bottle of seltzer. Would you like to try some and I came and I Let's not end this real quick. I just got a text Frank. I want to be like, how did your cup from your hotel? Wind up. All right. Why did you think like it should come to the office? I was gonna text Frank, I wanna be like, how did your cup from your hotel wind up? Right. Why did you think it should come to the office? Meanwhile, while you're doing that,

I'm on the wannabes podcast this week, so I just wanted to give them a shout out, the wannabes guys. Ah, the boys. Yep. All right, where did they record that? From different homes, I think. Oh, you did it over Zoom. They did they record that? From different homes, I think. Oh, you did it over Zoom.

They did it over Zoom, yeah. So you can find that wherever. Nice. Their latest episode. How long ago did he? I'm sorry. I'm sorry interrupting you. How long ago did this cub surface?

Because he hasn't been down here since the Gong Show. Oh, he dropped it a year, about a year or so ago. So if I hit me even ask him, he's not going to know what the fuck I'm talking about. He probably would. He's a smart guy. He remembers things. That's a sign of intelligence. But Frank is a smart guy and he remembers things.

A year. A year. A year. Again, that shows that's what I'm saying. That's a brain that needs medication. Yeah. It was here a year. It finally had a use, that's what I'm saying. Like that's a brain that needs medication. Yeah. And it was here a year, it finally had a use and then you didn't use it. And then I fucked it up.

Yeah. You fucked it all up. I'm not drinking what he knew. God damn well, you weren't going to drink. You know, it's trash. I believe that he was concerned about, well, and I was like, I wanted to drink. I do believe that. That's the good thing about Gettem.

Like he's a good dude. So you're like inching over here. Yeah. I just started drinking this, uh this sparkling water from Lytle and I tried their white grape and it tastes just like regular grape juice. I saw him drinking grape juice. No, I was drinking Snapple, Grapeade. Big difference between grape juice. It's not grape juice.

It has grape juice in it, at least 10%. Okay, Frank just replied, what cup? Hold on. Show the picture. Hold on. Frank just replied, what cup? Hold on. What cup? I asked him to call me real quick. But a year though. Yeah. Where was it living before that though? Before you saw it? Oh, here we go. All right. Hold on. Hello? Hey, what's going on? So we're recording TSD. Hey, Frank. What's up, Frank? Q. Q's here.

Bri's here. Gatum's here. And we asked Gatum about this cup that was on its side that really irked Q. A cup? Amongst other garbage. A cup. Amongst other garbage. But there was a cup laying on its side, like a Dixie cup.

It was a hotel room cup. You know how they come wrapped in plastic like the coffee cups. It was a it was a paper coffee cup in a plastic Covering okay, and yes Getham said that you bought it here to the office over a year ago And I was just wondering why you brought the cup and gave it to get him And I was just wondering why you brought the cup and gave it to get him. Well, the trash cans were full at the hotel, so I figured that'd be the next best place

is to bring it there. So what happened, I remember what happened was this. I, we came to film something or whatever, and there were no cups or anything, and I had mentioned to get them. I'm like, well, if I'd known that, I would have just brought them from the hotel because they have a bunch of cups in the room and he said all right yeah go ahead bring them in so

then what happened was just every time I come down I would just bring the cups with me because I figured you know that you guys needed cups. Are you still there? Yeah, I'm still there. Okay. So you brought one cup or there was just one cup you bought? No, I brought, there was a couple of different cups that I brought. He said that they didn't, that you guys didn't have any cups at the studio.

And I remember we were recording something and we had to- It's a fucking CVS right downstairs or whatever. And I said, geez, if I had known that, I would have brought cups. Not a year ago, was it? You don't think I could find cups in this airport, Bladley? I don't even think we need cups. Most people drink out of the bottle. Yeah. That's what I figured. I wasn't talking to you, Frank.

I was talking to – I'm sorry. This is a year full. I just don't know how that cup lasts or survives for a year. Without getting tossed out, it just boggles our minds. Yeah, we're kind of at our wits end with cups and how they come to be here. Not to bring any more cups. Yeah Alright well, thank you Frank mystery solved

He was anytime so you you you brought him on your own you weren't directed to bring him No, well what was said was I had mentioned it There was something where there was a bunch of us and we wanted a drink and we didn't have any cups and Getham said, oh, you know, we don't have enough cups. And I said, well, we got a whole bunch of them at the hotel. I can just bring them. Right. Okay. Next time I come down, he's like, yeah, all right, bring them. So then every time I came

down, I just would grab them off of the- We can't be this ghetto. It is ghetto as fuck. I didn't realize that we weren't using them, that he was just collecting them. Oh, come on now. You didn't realize that? How many more cups are in this office like that? Eight. Eight more cups.

All right. We want you to track them down. Have them ready to throw away next week. Hey, you know what? But, you know, Gatum's looking at our bottom line. That's one way you can look at it. He's like, I don't want to go buy cups. I don't have a problem with eight cups being in storage somewhere in the office, in a cabinet,

something. On the side next to the Himalayan salt on the wires that we're recording with, I just think is like, let's just throw it out or put it away. Well, he's got enough bags. He can't just put the cups in the bags and put them somewhere. I mean, we all sound crazy. Yeah. There's not normal issues that people have. Yeah. It's insanity. All right, Frank. The next time you come though, we don't need any cups. No more cups. No more cups. No more, bud. All right. All right. Thank you, Frank. Take

it easy. Anytime, guys. Bye, bud. All right. We got. Thank you, Frank. Take it easy. Anytime, guys. Bye. Bye. All right. We got that. Okay. We're not going to have to deal with that anymore.

Okay. We know. We know. It definitely came from Frank and when it got here. All right. And we're probably not going to get any more cups. Okay. All right.

So we've done it. Every journey begins with a step. Right. Like Ming's stand-up career. Everything starts and then builds from there. And this is it, this is the start. This is the start of a- Where does the pink salt go after this episode?

Where does that usually live? All right, you gonna get it back there? All right. All right. Otherwise Q's gonna come through and throw everything away. Yeah, I'm just gonna start throwing stuff away. Start throwing shit out.

Yeah, why not? Let's do it. Well, that's the worst thing you can do. Foo. That'll put that all. You want to traumatize? Do you want like to, like that's the kind of shit that causes like deep emotional scars.

He handled me crumpling up the cut. Oh, do you think he really handled it? He didn't say anything. Yeah, but I could see his eyes twitch. Really? Yeah. cut. Oh, do you think he really handled it? He didn't say anything. Inside he's aching. I could see his eyes twitch. Really? Yeah. I could see, yeah, I could see.

It didn't go over well? No, that did not go over well. He didn't say anything. Do you want a fetal position? Get him? Will it lead to change? Is he in front of the door? Can we at least get around him?

Tell him Steve, Dave.
